<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.3.29
<DeathStar> Location:
<DeathStar> Grand Nuage
<DeathStar> *after spending many days hunting down the Mega Men and defeating them in the Game of Destiny, the group has managed to get enough data to unlock the ciphers on Model A. So far Taiga has yet to return from Asteroid C, but she is expected to return in time as Ren leans back in her chair, looking for food and Adeline is studying Model A*
<Seraphna> **Jaime yawns** Being the main character is challenging, but fun.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what are you even talking about?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Putting on this armor and fighting those robot dudes?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stares flatly*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Everyone is the hero in their own mind I guess
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... Adeline, anything?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I've unlocked Cipher 2 and 3,
<Seraphna> Jaime> You guys threw me at the enemy! **she puffs her cheeks**
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Indeed, everyone is.
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps in with some supplies *
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Everyone okay?
<Seraphna> **Si follows her in**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You kept pulling aggro. Mmmm... Taiga, you are back. Ren was about to die from hunger."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> The only animals I have to feed her are robots. **taps a robot cow**
<DeathStar> <Cow> MOO
<DeathStar> *Ren is on top of it, trying to eat it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Pretty sure none of us can eat robots."
<DeathStar> *Taiga sets down the supplies and Ren is already all over it*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Careful, that one has twin chainguns.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, don't overdo it."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I got some news from Tareh. They think the hearts might be related to them. They got something with hearts.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So that might complicate things with our theory.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or it might tie into it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Why is that reality just an anagram of Earth?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Anhpares?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I Think I'm done
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Here we add Zs to things.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... What?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Zeraphna?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Exactly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... ignore the crazy, Adeline. What do you have?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Eats popcorn.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You who have broken the second cipher now stand at a fateful crossroads. If you continue to read this data, there is no turning back. You too are part of this plan. Biometal has the ability to give its "Chosen One" superhuman powers and combine to become a new lifeform. This combination results in a Megamerge, the transformation into a Mega Man. I've decided to select a new Chosen One suitable for Model W, the next step in evolution. Finding a suitable candidate in this world is nearly impossible. But I can do it, because as one of the Legion's Sage Trinity, I know everything about the world...
<Seraphna> **Jaime remembers to emote that**
<DeathStar> <Ren> This Albert seems quite...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Wacky.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Cipher 3.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But I can do it, because I'm a superior being who knows everything and is never wrong about anything."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... narcisstic delusions of grandeur culminating in a god complex."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> In order to find a Biomatch for Biometal Model W, first I created sibling Reploids. As well as giving them a portion of Model W's power, I gave them 1 commandment. That was to determine the most powerful Mega Man. A commandment to Biomatch each of my Chosen Ones to a Biometal. And have them fight until only one of them was left. The survivor of this contest will attain the power of Model W, and become the ultimate Mega Man. Yes, the new King of the world, the Mega Man King.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> My second husband was like that.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That explains a lot."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course, we are an outside variable. We're from another reality entirely."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sibling Reploids...
<DeathStar> <Ren> I have an idea who that might be
<Seraphna> Seraphna> There are two possibilities, but the twins are the most obvious.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Rather obvious. So they exist to test the candidates."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Speaking of which… Grey! Where is my chalupa?
<DeathStar> *Grey eyes Seraphna and moves to retrieve it*
<DeathStar> *Asche shakes her head*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna eats it**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I wonder what would have happened if we skipped the game like the twins would have had us do
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Cipher 4
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's two variations on this
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The power of Biometal isn't something to be had by just anyone. It's a power which should only be obtained by a Chosen One, one with the ability to change the world. I devised this cipher to lock away the power of the Biometal. A cipher that would allow only the Chosen One to unleash its power. In other words, it's locked to its Biomatch. All Reploids have come to Legion to have their life-cycle setting checked. I made sure that every Reploid I inspected was infused with my DNA. That is the key to the cipher, the proof of being the Chosen One. Yes, by viewing this data, you now have within you my DNA.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> All Humans who get a bionic body have to come to Legion for inspection. I made sure that every bionic body part I inspected was infused with my DNA. That is the key to the cipher, the proof of being the Chosen One. Yes, by viewing this data, you now have within you my DNA.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... are you kidding me? DNA doesn't work that way!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...who is this guy? This reality's version of Venerator?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Apparently they threw away a lot of the humans' body here
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Either he is creepily making you my relatives, or he meant that to be read by Grey and Ashe.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> And gave them upgraded bodies.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... he could have just adopted us."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "He probably never conceived tha non-reploids would be able to decode his puzzle."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> It's why humans and reploids became closer into one type of being. Reploids and humans are very close now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So much for knowing everything about the world."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> He likely did it then
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm, and how are you Allouette?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I did my own upgrades based on the technology at home
<DeathStar> <Alouette> But as far as the wound, I'm doing better
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Good. Yes you seem matured.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And what about the rest of us? Adeline has been doing the gruntwork on this decoding."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright one last one
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Cipher 5.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cuz my wife is smart.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> This is the last cipher. You, who knows all about the plan. You have earned the right to receive the ultimate Biometal. Sleeping Model Ws everywhere feed on the fear of humans, waiting for their day of awakening. And when all Model Ws have combined, the ultimate Biometal will be born. Its name will be Ouroboros... The who holds the Ouroboros will evolve beyond the mere fusion of man and machine. What I seek is to become the ultimate Mega Man. My name is Master Albert. And I decide how things are going to be. You, who will usher in a new way of life in a new world... I hope that one day my research will pave the way to a new course of evolution.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice that he drops the megalomaniac talk at the end."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... does it need all of the Model Ws for this to work?"
<Seraphna> **Seraphna rolls her eyes**
<DeathStar> <Ashe> Are the Model W's in people?
<DeathStar> <Ashe> Or just waiting ot feed on them
<Seraphna> Seraphna> For now, unless they finished feeding.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> The man convinced an army of greed to power his machine.
<DeathStar> *Aile comes in from the bridge* We got trouble
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Giant monster trouble or floating model Ws trouble?
<DeathStar> *Aile motions them to the bridge* It's easier for you to see
<Seraphna> **Seraphna walks along, Jaime moving over as well**
<DeathStar> *Grey and Ashe follow; Adeline stands up and moves from the research lab and Ren drags her food along with Taiga taking some bread*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks on to the bridge*
<DeathStar> *Fuyu is there, arms crossed; she looks for Kaori but doesn't see her, looking relieved*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Wind Kitten. What is the news?
<Alicia> * Charlotte walks on to the bridge
<DeathStar> *As Aile takes her seat* Someone sent as message on where to look. *Fuyu looks overly suspicious, as if she knows who sent it; on the view screen, an Undersea Volcano has been brought up and it looks like there's some major activity is going on that readings are going off the chart*
<DeathStar> <Aile> Something is happening there and it's causing under the sea to tremble big time
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I suspect this is our Oruboros.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, this guy is absolutely a Venerator."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how did this Albert become a Sage again?"
<DeathStar> <Aile> He was one of those after Ragnarok that helped stablize the region
<DeathStar> <Aile> After the heroes vanished for a time
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well... he's now responsible for destroying everything."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> In my experience the more helpful one is the closer you should be watching them.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> Guess he went mad. He's already killed one of the Sages.
<DeathStar> *Ren and Adeline and Taig turn toward Seraphna*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that why you're always being so helpful?"
<DeathStar> *Alouette blinks*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Oh I am insane remember?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> That's just a cover story
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't think it is. Unless you mean the Sages."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm. I am an old dragon who merely watches out for this rock in space.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, we still need to decide how to deal with this mess."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can we blast him or something?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't see why not."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline, any plans in that sexy brain of yours?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do you have an sensors on this ship?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Many, pouty Motenks.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think we should probably head in and see what the situation is.
<DeathStar> *Aile nods and flies closer to the volcano*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...should I be insulted?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> You are slightly more chipper Motenks.
<DeathStar> *As they get closer; they find that the volcano base is well shielded from teleports and shields. Adeline leans back in her seat*
<DeathStar> <Grey> Ashe and I could look for another way in
<Seraphna> Jaime> Secret cave entrance maybe?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We also could try to force our way in with our powers through the shields.
<DeathStar> <Taiga >Or crash the ship in, but it might be btter to keep it on standby
<Seraphna> Seraphna> We could crash one of the remaining ships into the shielding.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> …You remind me of one of my daughters.
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What do you think is the best route? Seek a way in, try to brute force our way in, or the ship?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... get us to the surface. Let's come in from the water."
<DeathStar> *Aile lowers the ship as best she can away from the shielding*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Options 1 or 2. I don't want to crash the ship. I'd usually say looking for a way in, but I feel like the edgy twins will try to ambush anyone who looks for a hidden entrance."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm. Now that Albert is moving I would not presume them your enemies. You have a common foe.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If we can just bypass the shields, that'll give us the element of surprise."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This ship is a floating target, so let's get to the water and move in."
<DeathStar> <Ren> We kind of shot them
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's the best place to search, if we do that."
<Seraphna> **Seraphna eyes the island and base with a far away look** Shots are shots.
<DeathStar> *Ren shifts* Alright so are we jumping into the water?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I thought we were hiding the ship in the water."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh, I htought we were going to swim down
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That wa smy plan."
<DeathStar> <Aile> Just so you know, I can't guarentee this ship can stay under water for long
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I meant we were going to swim in. We're having too many different conversations here."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It doesn't need to, just long enough for us to leave without being seen.""
<Seraphna> Seraphna> We can always launch the robo sharks.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...why do you even have robo sharks?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Why don’t you?
<DeathStar> *Ren just jumps*
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps after her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dives into the water*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I have better things to do with my time." *considers the idea of an aquatic type of drone, despite this, as she dives after the others*
<DeathStar> *Taiga hangso nto Charlotte in Fox form*
<DeathStar> *Adeline remains on the ship, oddly enough*
<Seraphna> **Several Robo sharks follow**
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and leaps into the water**
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Grey! Another Chalupa! One for Adeline too.
<DeathStar> *down below is a massive volcano that looks to be trembling like it might erupt; on the side is a base built into it*
<DeathStar> *Grey and Ashe left during all this to be heroes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *grabs a robo shark by the fin to let it carry her down faster*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Someone! Calupas!
<DeathStar> *The group finds bubbles to get air from*
<DeathStar> *along the way*
<DeathStar> *as they reach the base, Ren huffs and flops while Taiga hops off and shakes. Alouette dries her hair off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Who wants to bet those two get ambushed or something?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... we'll see."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Which two?
<Seraphna> **Si steaks as she dries herself off, Jaime has mud dry her**
<DeathStar> <Ren> We got a lot of two's right now
<DeathStar> *Ren shakes herself off like a wolf*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The reploid kids."
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Is that where Model A went?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... why did we split up again?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We always managed to find additional complications, don't we?"
<DeathStar> *Fuyu and goes to toss Model A to Jaime, since Charlotte has Z*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **grabs and equips it**
<DeathStar> *as they walk along the hallways, mechaloids patrol and protect it*
<DeathStar> *As well as laser beams*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... where would this guy be?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte equips Z. "Sabers aren't my first choice, but they work."
<DeathStar> *As Noire says that, an ape mechaloid grabs her and runs off with her down the hallway*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire has been ape napped!
<Seraphna> **Jaime blasts at it’s back**
<DeathStar> *it turns, angry and begins to throw rocks at Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **smirks and glows green, sending the rocks back with spikes growing out of them**
<Alicia> * Charlotte launches a tendril to bring the ape closer, before swinging her saber
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...its the long hair isn't it? Apes like long hair..." *spoken flatly*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm just glad there are no tall buildings."
<DeathStar> *Alouete hits the ape for 1 hP damage after all the damage the other two did ; destroying it*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I have gotten stronger!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lands on her feet and brushes herself off* "Mmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga tilt the laser beams so they can go through the door*
<DeathStar> *Ren moves through* I never get grabbed
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> ...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Why would you want to?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime, Si and Anyata step through**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I could swear we save you like every other mission.
<DeathStar> *Ren chomps Jaime*
<DeathStar> *as they walk into a control like room, they find a surprising site; it looks like an insanely buff Albert skating out of the room with Model W and Pandora and Prometheus laying on the ground, motionless, sparking*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I guess they're not going to attack us."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess they challenged him
<DeathStar> <Ren> And lost
<DeathStar> *Fuyu zooms over to the two, lifting her hands*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... chekc on them."
<DeathStar> *Glowing with hyperspace*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Damn, Sera was right?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right." *checks for life signs*
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over too**
<DeathStar> *it looks like the two are still operational*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You two gonna be okay?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "They're still alive, at least."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Can you get them conscious?"
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> We should blow them to bits while they're weak
<Seraphna> Jaime> Seems like overkill even to me.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We might be able to make them allies."
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> Allies?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **taps comms** Can you guys at ops take two patients?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *comms* "Be careful though, the patients are a little... unruly."
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comms> Well, with the... wait a minute, something is oging on.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What is it Adeline?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> The entire place is transforming. Yo might want to grab your patients. *She gives a signal that seems to be in the next room* Can you check out what that is? It's making the entire entire place change. Something is coming out of the s--- *signal vanishes*
<Alicia> * Charlotte secures the patients.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *nods and mvoes for the next room*
<Seraphna> **Jaime lifts Prometheus over her shoulder and heads that way**
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows
<DeathStar> *in the next room, there is hundreds of Model W's as the place seems to be transforming into something. It looks like the Undersea Base is becoming something*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think we need to go
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep. **she feels out if they can teleport**
<DeathStar> *it looks like they can try*
<Alicia> * Charlotte checks if she can throw an Ilium disk without it returning
<DeathStar> *she definitely can throw it*
<Seraphna> **Jaime uses Ace of Spades to help and starts to warp them**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...try to disrupt the Model W connections."
<Alicia> * Charlotte throws one into the center of the room to try to stop the Model W's from doing whatever they're doing.
<Seraphna> **Si nods and sends a huge gout of flame between the units**
<DeathStar> *they begin to warp oddly due to the Model W's and they vanish while they do their attack*
<DeathStar> *The group lands on top of the Grand nuage*
<DeathStar> *skidding along it toward the edge*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Pretty close!
<DeathStar> *Ren> AAAH
<DeathStar> *Taiga uses her tails to wrap around something, hanging on*
<Seraphna> **Monkey bots grab at them to carry them inside**
<DeathStar> *The bots grab some of them*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *uses her tendrils to grab everyone else*
<DeathStar> *Ren pants, panting once inside*
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms handholds for the team**
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses her tendrils to drag herself and Ren inside
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and helps Taiga back inside**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *as soon as she is inside* "Get us out of here and away from that volcano!"
<DeathStar> *outside, the Ouroboros begins to lift up, lava shooting about*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> “But we will never need Monkey bots!” They said.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "To be fair, we didn't."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Holds up a monkeybot holding up Allouette**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...is anyone going to, you know, get us clear?"
<DeathStar> *Aile has begun to fly them away*
<DeathStar> *while Fuyu hands the two reploids to Nurse Kaori*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I see you brought us the twins.
<DeathStar> <Ruyu> Here, your friends saved these
<Seraphna> Seraphna> To the lab!
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... they're definitely going to love that
<Seraphna> **Seraphna has a look in her eyes**
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans but will help them
<Seraphna> Seraphna> And bring me the white armor paint.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you trying to ungoth them?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Redeemed villains always wear white to show they are good now. It’s in the manual.
<DeathStar> *As they get some distance, Adeline comes out* I think I got some good news
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... please share."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, the good news is a section of that thing is missing. Bad news is a bunch of Mavericks is protecting it
<Seraphna> **Seraphna mistakes Noire for saying that to her and hands her a book titled “So You Want To Be a Mad Scientist” by someone named X1**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe our attempted sabotage paid off."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can we just fly in and shoot it?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We're likely to get shot down trying
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm. A moment.
<Seraphna> **seraphna hits her comms** Oh Thomas~
<DeathStar> *A stressed voice can be heard; it sounds like the Legion HQ can be heard dealing with their own Mavericks after this incident*
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas* Yes?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Your boy Albert launched a super weapon bent on destroying the world. **sends an image and the coordinates** Defense will mean nothing if it gets away.
<DeathStar> *Sage Thomas folds his hands together* Well, we must stop at nothing to see to it that he is defeated
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> Use the Guardians to bring an end to his madness
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I’m going to have to total your ship. Send anyone you can spare though.
<DeathStar> *Fuyu hmmm's, perhaps having expected someone after their warning*
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> Good luck
<DeathStar> *A few moments later, someone is knocking on the window*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> The AI needs to crash here… **she muses** I suggest we evacuate the heroes and crash the ship head on into it. That should provide a window for you all to board.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Do let them in.
<DeathStar> <Aile> *pats the ship* You did good
<Seraphna> **Si answers the knock**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... why do I feel like history is repeating with Thomas and Albert?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> It is. And it will again.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> This is my… like 10th rodeo.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... what do all of these 'rodeos' have in common?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte sighs.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Robots fight and die. Scientists make more. Oh and I’m usually there shaking my head.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I was going to say 'No-one pays attention to what 'Alberts' are up to.'"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... but in a reality where the scientists and leaders have become the robots?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Someone does. Unfortunately she is often called a child or mad.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, we only just got here."
<DeathStar> *Soma, Fuyu's twin, floats in8
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm, yeah being raised outside the generation’s beliefs always helps. Being an alien moreso.
<DeathStar> <Soma> I'll help fly the ship into the other ship. Sister, you get everyone onto that thing after it's done
<DeathStar> <Soma> Also, those two twins have tied your nurse up and left the ship
<DeathStar> *Kaori has been tied up*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna grabs a sack and chucks things into it, then Kaori**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I warned you about unruly patients! I warned you, dog!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "they are likely on their way to confront Albert."
<Sara> * Kaori whines
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm a wolf
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wolf fox
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Here you will be safe in my Magic Murder Bag.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You okay there, Kaori?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is the bag safe?
<Seraphna> **It’s actually weirdly spacious inside and there’s a couch and TV**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ....
<Seraphna> **The Brady Bunch is playing**
<DeathStar> <Soma> Oh yeah, I was just with dad. *As he takes the pilot's seat* I'll tell you where he is after all this
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why does this keep happening?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It would be nice for Kaori
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I just want people to stop getting tied up."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Unless they're edgy reploid kids or similar."
<DeathStar> *Fuyu warps the team to a shuttle flyer, where Ren ties Charlotte up in the sexual Japanese rope not, making her breasts pop out more*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What about this? I spent months learning it
<DeathStar> *knot
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stares at Ren*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... I'll untie her
<Seraphna> Seraphna> You remind me of my Emily.
<DeathStar> *Soma takes off in the Grand Nuage, aimed for the weak point and firing at the Mavericks*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...okay, but wait until we get home for that kind of tying up."
<DeathStar> *while Ren unties Charlotte, there's a massive explosion. Fuyu takes off after them and they board the Ouroboros*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Deal
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Strikers, let's go!"
<DeathStar> *The entire place is crawling with Mavericks and traps and spikes*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> For today I deem you all honorary Hunters.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> This place seems quite densly packed
<Seraphna> **Si uses a fireball at a pack of them**
<Seraphna> Seraphna> All clumped together so nicely! **she sends a rolling ball lightning out**
<DeathStar> *As they clear the way, the group begins to come across Mega Men made by Model W's. Aile stays behind, using Mega Man X to buy them time to continue and Alouette joins her*
<Seraphna> **Anyata joins Alouette**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ugh. We spent days fighting those things and here are more?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...so here we are... Albert's mook army."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If we don't hurry, the mook army will multiply
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Good news! It’s probably most of the remaining. Bad news. It’s most of the remaining.
<Seraphna> **Si and Seraphna carve a path of elemental chaos**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms a dark matter ball and sweeps it forward along their path*
<Alicia> * Charlotte joins in the chaos, with tendrils and beam saber
<DeathStar> *Sweeping away the chaos, Taiga points out a door*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads for it**
<DeathStar> *Ren bounces for the door when the floor begins to move apart, revealing spikes*
<DeathStar> *Ren flails*
<Seraphna> **Jaime catches her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *grabs Ren with tendrils*
<DeathStar> *Ren is saved*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *Foxholes across to the door*
<Seraphna> **Jaime then forms a bridge over the gap**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Remember, use all the weapons we got. That includes the remaining bullets Kaori has
<Seraphna> **Seraphna starts giving them breathing room by surrounding them and the door with an ice wall**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves across through the foxhole*
<DeathStar> *As they step in, the twins are battling what appears to be dragons of some sort, with three heads*
<DeathStar> *The two are backing each other up despite their wounds and having taken down one of the heads*
<DeathStar> *but the dragons sneakily use the Noire favorite, black hole to break their combo protection to spread shot right as they take down the second head, knocking them against the wall*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that thing stole my move."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Cheeky bastard. Even I don't do that."
<DeathStar> *The dragon head that works moves to chomp on Prometheus*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a hand and tosses a blak hole of her own right on to the dragon's body*
<DeathStar> *working on removing any remaining HP and armor*
<DeathStar> *The dragon makes a noise*
<Alicia> * Charlotte's eyes glow as she uses her illusion skill to make the dragon strike at one of the Model Ws instead, thinking it's Prometheus
<DeathStar> *That seems to be a partial success actually!*I
<Seraphna> **Jaime augments a Giga Crusher blast with hyperspace and fires**
<DeathStar> *the dragon shakes and blows up*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's the big guy down, at least."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... I don't think that was the final boss."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Robot Dragons? That’s like Stage 1 boss level.
<DeathStar> *Albert rises and takes the damaged Model W* <Master Albert> ... *begins to transform* You all should never have been part of this game.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How annoying."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Again with the 'game' thing."
<DeathStar> <Master Albert> You were never to be tested. You were an annoying outside factor that should have been eliminated
<DeathStar> *Fuyu begins to charge*
<Sara> <Kaori> Well you didn't so NYEH.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Next time I’ll just eat the villain.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Which shows just how inferior you are that you were unable to see beyond your tiny world view even though we actually met long before all this!"
<DeathStar> *Albert begins to use all the precious Model's powers, locking onto them with Model A and attcking with fire from H, a plasma cyclone risiing up in he room*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> My tails are on fireeee
<DeathStar> *He then begins to charge up like X*
<Seraphna> **Si pulls the cyclone in and then directs it back at him.**
<Seraphna> **Seraphna aims a staff she seemingly got from nowhere and punches a jolt of lightning at him**
<DeathStar> *He fires a charged blast at the cyclone to counter it, but jerks*
<Seraphna> **Jaime then fires a Hyper Blast at him**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, if we're using copied moves..." *forms dark matter fists to punch at Albert, even as she defends with her saber*
<DeathStar> *Albert is overwhelmed a bit, then sinks into the shadows with Model P*
<DeathStar> *appearing behind Ren and slashing with Model Z*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms a dark matter ball and then leaps with her tendrils, using her fist to drive the ball at Albert's face*
<Sara> * Kaori fires one of the maximum bullets
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves to block the attack, even while striking with dark fists
<DeathStar> *suddenly, the bullet breaks apart and a blackhole/void rips into excistenc right on top of him, and beside Ren/Charlotte as she moves in too*
<DeathStar> *ironically, Noire's attack even pushes him further into the bullet's attack and Charlotte punching him into it does even more as she herself stumbles into it*
<DeathStar> <Ren> AAH
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren and attempts to Shadowport out of the way with her
<Jackieness> <Noire> *uses tendrils to try to anchor and pull herself away*
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows this up with a hyper infused rock flying at Albert**
<DeathStar> *Albert breaks apart into it while Charlotte warps them out*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh hey, she used that
<DeathStar> *Fuyu flares to hold on*
<DeathStar> *The place begins to collaps and breaks apart*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You did say use everything my love.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> We should go
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Strikers, withdraw!"
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over the area to see if Prometheus and Pandora made it out okay before leaving
<DeathStar> *They once again have run off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> How do they keep doing that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "don't worry about it. Come on!" *tries to open a shadowport*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If they can run, they're fine."
<DeathStar> *The shadowport opens*
<DeathStar> *even as the room begins to slant*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps through the shadowport*
<Alicia> * Charlotte leaps through with Ren
<DeathStar> *the others leap with them*
<DeathStar> -JUMP-
<DeathStar> Loction: Legion HQ
<DeathStar> *Sage Thomas stands there* You all did well in ridding the world of a grave threat. You are heroes. *Grey and Ashe look proud, standing with the team*
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> I imagine you will be remembered like the heroes of legends. *he gives them all little medals*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Heroes of today sounds better, people discount the legends too often.
<DeathStar> *As they finish up and leave, Fuyu turns to the group*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...well, now you have another respite, and the serpent in your midst has been defeated."
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> It seems that way ... but father is still out there
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> Soma was suppose to tell you what he was doing but he hasn't shown up yet
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you had another one?"
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> He was going to explain why he felt the need to take Kaori's power.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have to believe it had to tie into this heart business. Lorelei's group believes it's their Tsukiyomi hearts, but I just can't believe that is all
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm... yes..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets return back to Asteroid C for now
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Maybe I can find more information while we wait
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... agreed. Let's go."
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> If I hear more here, we'll reach out.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *To Charlotte* Now I Can practice my rope techniques.
<DeathStar> *as Taiga opens the gate*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks through the gate*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Coming with us Allouette?
<Seraphna> **Si hops through**
<Sara> * Kaori goes with the others
<DeathStar> *Alouette thinks, then nods, coming along*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> <Unknown Voice> Those laws were passed because Albert and I agreed on them. Give humans robotic bodies and give reploids mortality.
<DeathStar> <Unknown Voice> So where do you think the human bodies for the reploids are?
<DeathStar> <Unknown Voice> What do you think happened to the original reploid data from before we gave them mortality?
<DeathStar> <Unknown Voice> Albert was wrong, so I helped those outsiders.
<DeathStar> <Unknown> But I do think he was right about one thing...
<DeathStar> -TBC-
