<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Delgi studies the Familiar rune that Lana stole in the past*
<DeathStar> <Delgi> This is definitely something I have never seen before
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session550
<DeathStar> *Lumi sips some tea*
<DeathStar> *Delgi hands the rune over to Ceilidh*
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session550
<Alicia> * Ceilidh looks it over as well.
<DeathStar> *the strange familiar rune of the prototype from Bonnie shines* <Lumi> I suppose we could ask you know who but I doubt she remembers
<DeathStar> *Lumi looks up as Selena arrives to see her aunt* <Lumi> Well for now you and Lana hold onto it
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Lets go meet the Queen
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Deep Space
<DeathStar> *Fate floats in space, Marcus surrounded by a field of higher space as they observe where there is no Templar debris floating in space here* <Fate> This is a good sign at least. It means our Dias has not escaped. However, there is one deviation in our reality - there is no Aquarius in the area. (cont)
<DeathStar> *Fate holds out her hands and shows Marcus all the realities where the Aquarius was previous in the area on patrol with Airym as Captain and the debris floating, some realities there is not and so on, but now there seems to be deviations of the Aquarius in the Unknown Regions with Airym and Erica sharing Captain duties*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's the play, cause enough of a noise to give them a reason to be here?
<DeathStar> <Fate> No, it is fine that the Aquarius did not come by here. The Templar ship still would have passed by. It may have even added in Dias not escaping
<DeathStar> *Fate begins to run the realities* I think we have enough to try to pin point where the ship is
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm. That makes sense. Okay let's do it. Let's find him.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Alright. Lets start tracking it.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.10.15
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> *Fate soon studies a massive fleet amongst an asteroid base*
<DeathStar> <Fate> *motioning at Marcus* I believe this is the location, but there is something wrong here.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks over the fleet, squinting.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I sense strange powers amongst this area. It's even preventing me from getting in easily.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Would you consider yourself to be....supernatural? They have devices against that.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I'm a being of a higher plane. ... but it might be enough.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do we assume he's in the base itself? At this point he's surely been moved and no longer on a ship?
<DeathStar> <Fate> He most likely is either on the command ship or the base, yes.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus checks his datapad, trying to get the proper coordinates before they leave also takes some pictures for planning.
<DeathStar> *Fate muses* I will send you back to the PAX and I will try to continue to break in. *she nods and holds her hand before he can protest, sending him out*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If there's a device that's disrupting powers, we'll have to take that out. May need multiple teams to do this...phew this is a lot for Dias. But he'd do it all for us.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth peers as Marcus appears in front of her as she is eating dinner*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around slowly.
<DeathStar> *it appears Marcus is in 1B*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She didn't even tell me bye. 6* He sets the datapad down in front of Lenneth.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *peers down*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well then
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias' location and some pictures of the fleet and base they're protecting.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *Takes the datapad*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Guess it's back to gathering all our allies once again
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.10.21 - the day before the operation to take back Dias
<DeathStar> (sorry)
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.10.24 - the day before the operation to take back Dias
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *It's been a long week, but Lenneth has gathered the Cartel, EarthGov, Erusians, etc. into a massive fleet*
<DeathStar> *Adeline, back from Earth to help tinker with the PAX, messes on the ship, still installing pieces of the other PAX tech into the bridge to unlock things*
<Seraphna> **Jaime is back to happily helping her**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why does it feel like we are missing something
<DeathStar> *she crosses her arms as she studies the PAX's systems being unlocked*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Lotta moving parts, we very well could be missing something.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, with what I am doing, we should be back to almost what we were - and one day surpass what we lost.
<Alicia> * Jikuu hangs back, seemingly in thought
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Athena wanted to come back with her idols but the concert is still important
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I feel like we have enough fire power without the Idol Machine
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "They should do the things only idols can do."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could probably snag a Thena if we needed.
<DeathStar> *X tinkers in the hanger*
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Megumi work on the shields and Taiga nods while Ren studies the Red Fleet*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright. I Think everyone should get some sleep
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will be launching first thing tomorrow.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus has not taken the Kat news well and has spent most of his time alone, brooding and drinking.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smirks at Adeline** She probably means you too, workaholic.
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances up* Hm? Sure. *She goes back to work*
<DeathStar> <Ren> One day I will command this fleet. Mwahahaha
<Seraphna> **Tabetha is helping supply the drinks**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms to himself trying to remember what Erevis might feel is missing.
<DeathStar> *Erevis pats Xan's shoulder and moves off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You'd make a good commander."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *Beams at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.10.25 - The Day.
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *as the morning sun rises, the group wakes up to the academy. However some things have changed, not that the characters would notice - to them it's the same old same old. The leader of the academy is Thena, and always been. Odd, what do you mean? And they teach normal things like math, science, stuff like EarthGov does, no spirit tech or magiks (cont)
<DeathStar> *Lumi doesn't seem to be on the scene, and many of the students are missing - mainly students of an..unnatural variety. Strangely, no one seems to notice. The world seems a little more normal. Selena, who is still visiting, messes with her blonde hair and blue eyes, looking a lot like her mother with her hair color, musing on a math problem*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. *she props her head up, eyeing it*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon goes over his engineering notes for one of his later classes, musing over the contents.
<Seraphna> **Thena fixes her glasses, going over paperwork**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX stands in front of a white board with a very elaborate plan to look for his body.
<DeathStar> *Cypher and Asarar sit at the bar, drinking*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan eats from a bowl of pasta, in the bar, also drinking.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So, when we get back to Kumen, we should track some thieves and make money
<Seraphna> **Luci eyes a salad, picking the protein out**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Yuh I was gonna ask abou vhat. 6* He pauses and swallows his bite.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Nice supply of food here though.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *props her head, looking bored* True. But this place has nothing worthwhile. I'm not even sure why we have a bar here.
<DeathStar> *she looks confused*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Growing school, growing profits.
<Seraphna> Luci> The profits are usually good. But for some reason no one’s coming around today.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon finishes his tea and moves to take a short walk before his class.
<Seraphna> Luci> We start exams or something?
<DeathStar> *Selena turns to Nicolette, who is normal student* So, how are classes?
<Xanatos> <BIX> BODY IN..........ground? 6* He looks confused and writes a question mark on the board.
<DeathStar> *many finding it odd a Queen is friends with a normal student*
<Alicia> * Sparkling, who's named Mina right now, is doodling unenthusedly on a sketchpad.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *eyes the doodles, then Mina* Body?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "A-ah... tricky. Especially history. So many numbers to remember."
<Alicia> <Mina> "Body?"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina oddly is all thug like with the students - for someone so small, she gets a lot of milk money*
<DeathStar> *suddenly the bar doors slam open, making Asarar jerk and Selena turn her head*
<Seraphna> **Lucu grabs her bracer and frowns**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks to the door, hand going to his side.
<Seraphna> **Thena steps out to observe the classes**
<DeathStar> *Fae stands there, looking ill as sweat is on her forehead - the daughter of Ellie and ... who?* <Fae> .... help....Momma... is gone. *she falls to her knees* This is all wrong.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ellie's kid is acting weird again
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses in his walk to peer at his notebook with confusion, there being lots of empty notes before his engineering notes begin.
<Alicia> <Mina> "Yeah..." *she pauses* "what happened to Ellie?"
<Seraphna> Luci> What…. **she moves over to check on her** What’s wrong kiddo?
<Xanatos> <<Logan> Whoa, is she having a mental thing?
<DeathStar> <Fae> Not Ellie --- Sylph. Momma Sylph is gone.
<DeathStar> <Fae> And Gnome and Brooke... and everyone
<Seraphna> Luci> Who?
<DeathStar> *Cypher folds her hands together*
<DeathStar> *Fae frowns* Terra is trying to get help elsewhere, need to get help here. *She takes deep breath, then shows hand, which is see-throughish*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Someone made you all wrong. Took magic away---spirits away...home wrong.
<Alicia> <Mina> "The bartender?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> Whoa shit. Her hand.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "The hell-?!"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... Something is definitely wrong with her.
<Seraphna> Luci> She’s fading… like a ghost or something?
<Alicia> <Mina> "A real ghost?"
<DeathStar> *Selena touches Fae in concern as she points* You're a magic girl and you... you are spirit touch...you all .. um... do stuff.
<DeathStar> *The girl flails* So do stuff
<Seraphna> Luci> She said Spirits…
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....I mean we do stuff, that's right at least. We need to get her to a doctor.
<Seraphna> **Luci goes to pick her up**
<DeathStar> *Fae puffs her cheeks and focuses, and glows with spirit power, causing herself to fade faster, and hits the group with wind*
<DeathStar> <Fae> I am...The Wind Spirit!
<Seraphna> Luci> Eeep! Cool though!
<Seraphna> Luci> H-Hey you’re fading more Fae!
<DeathStar> *Fae faints after her outburst and falls against Luci*
<Alicia> <Mina> "Maybe we can do something with crystals or...?"
<Seraphna> **Thena peers in, fixing her glasses**
<Seraphna> **Luci picks the girl up**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Uh sure. We got any? More importantly, Magic Girls?
<Xanatos> <Logan> What the fuck just happened. She blew air at us...and more than a mouth could generate.
<Seraphna> Luci> Wind Spirit…
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes Nico, then shrugs* I mean, Logan is right, something is up
<Seraphna> Luci> It feels important.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yes, Spirit. The word does feel important, as does Magic
<Alicia> <Mina> "Even if no-one else does... I'm putting my all into this."
<Seraphna> Luci> Let’s get in contact with others to see if they know anything?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *rubs her eyes* "This... this is fucked up."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Right, Thena, can you get in touch with the PAX?
<Xanatos> <Logan> It's just all make believe, just like there's no ghosts. I just...well I can't explain the fading, but surely something is happening.
<Seraphna> Thena> I will contact my family. At least maybe they can shed light on this.
<Alicia> <Mina> "HEY! Don't ruin my dreams like that!"
<Seraphna> **Thena pulls out her datapad and places a call**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. *muses* You think we're all magical girls?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> No. *Flatly*
<Seraphna> Luci> Whatever we are, gotta keep this kid from vanishing.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Seems a little more serious than just anemia.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *It's another normal day - with a massive fleet gathered. Lenneth is there getting things gathered, Cheryl is helping out, even Megumi is helping out Adeline since there's no Ren or Taiga or bunnies - I mean, Gitari or totally supernatural. Shudder*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl seems quiet as she helps out*
<DeathStar> *Racheal runs about the ship, lookin chipper* Hey! Yo!
<Seraphna> **Angela is checking over systems to help, sans bunny ears**
<DeathStar> *Rachael slides and nods to people - a very cheerful and non-emo girl*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is going over pre-checks on his shuttle just in case.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and taps on a system, looking a bit more serious than usual**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *sits at a cafe*
<DeathStar> *Thomas adjusts his glasses*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So, what's our plan here? 6* He asks Lenneth, totally normal and not mopey at all because his player is dumb and forgot an important thing.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks out of a studio with a datachip full of shots for ehr modeling portfolio*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well we'll be launching to war soon. I think everyone is ready----- *suddenly a fist slams down on the bridge to get their attention*
<DeathStar> *even Cheryl jerks*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What the hell?
<Alicia> * Celeste looks over, surprised.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin sits on a bench in the shopping area chewing on a toothpick.
<DeathStar> *Taiga stands there, clearly using all her reality powers to stay in reality, having the most reality of all of Cheryl's kids* .... can't you...see...me...?
<Seraphna> Angela> Who…?
<DeathStar> *she seems to be see-through like a ghost*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "A ghost?!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...or a hologram. Chip is anyone messing with your systems?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .... I feel like we've been dealing with them lately.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan finishes his shuttle prep and moseys his way towards 1B.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl holds up her hands, staring* No, wait.... That's... not a ghost.... .... Taiga? <Taiga> ... Someone's...erasing....
<Seraphna> Angela> She seems vaguely familiar… **she looks to Cheryl**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Erasing...?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *mouths something* Dias.... *fades out more* Only she can.... *fades away*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I think that was my daughter. But ...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Taiga? Wait did she say Dias?
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses* Dias...
<Alicia> <Celeste> "It was definitely Dias."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We just got a message from Geyze from Thena
<Seraphna> Angela> Daughter?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *she looks up* They had an incident with Ellie's kid talking about things being wrong
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wrong like this or something else?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> She said she was the "Wind Spirit" And that things were changed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... should we find out what was changed before we depart?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is trying to make some extra money for a trip and is working as a handyman around the food area.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **blinks a bit** A Spirit?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Is this Dias a spirit?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah we know Dias, not sure why she said 'she' after him though.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Valen? What are you doing around here?"
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Well, lets find Dias, anyway."
<Seraphna> Angela> Someone else must be needed to help him. But this sounds like the enemy did something?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I guess we should set out. Let us pick up the people from Geyze.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh me? Just trying to save up some money.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **gives Adeline a look and then peers around thier work**
* ChadWinters` has joined #TAW-Session550
<Seraphna> **Terra appears, tiny, pink haired and faded**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "For what?"
<Seraphna> Terra> M-Momma… anyone… help… **cries scared**
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and moves over to her** Terra…?
<Seraphna> Terra> Spirits all vanishing… scared… they took all magic and spirits…
<DeathStar> <LEnneth> Okay, I take it back. It is ghosts
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Who did?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...dunno. Trip maybe.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I am recording this. It is real
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We sure this isn't some rogue Weapon or Dragoon thing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **wraps around her** Sweetheart… I’m here…
<DeathStar> *Adeline kneels and pats the girl* <Cheryl> X is in the hanger and she isn't experiencing it
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Something is definitely wrong."
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's going on, Jaime who is that? 6* He asks as he steps onto the bridge.
<Seraphna> Terra> Momma gone… why no one remember… **she passes out**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Who? She’s my daughter! With…
<DeathStar> <Adeline> With?
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... I see a pattern is developing
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...please do not say they are from the future..."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do not worry, you, Athena, and Isis have that racket.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Someone… someone who was mine… I… **looks confused and a bit panicked as she holds the 2 year old spirit**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oh, that's cool. Any idea where?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well come on let's get her to Medical. 6* he moves over to help Jaime lift her up.
<DeathStar> *Adeline goes with Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds her close and nods slowly, going**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Lets get people from Geyze and lets go
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<Seraphna> Angela> …This makes me wonder how many lo
<Seraphna> Ved Ives we’re stolen from us.
<DeathStar> *a bank robbery is occurring as John leaps out, defending Earth in Dias' stead with Michru and Lunar Girl, landing on the van with the money*
<DeathStar> <John> .... *jerks as the van begins to speed ahead through the streets of Mega City*
<Alicia> * Michiru clings to the top of the car as Lunar Girl seems to surf on it
<DeathStar> <John> I'm getting too old for this shiiiiit. *He pauses, then eyes the streets, eyes glowing a moment* ...that's odd.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "What is?"
<DeathStar> *standing up and gaining his balance, he lifts his foot up and slams it through the roof* Various races are vanishing. You don't see it?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "...I see it now..." <Lunar Girl> "Scary..."
<DeathStar> <John> Fate taught it to me. The fact you girls are catching on so fast is impressive. Dias will like that. *He begins to rip it open* That means something is changing around us
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it." <Lunar Girl> "Teleportation or...?"
<DeathStar> <John> *Michiru, take out the driver, Lunar, help me get theo nes inside. *He leaps in* I think someone has IT.

<DSTheMysterious> <John> *Michiru, take out the driver, Lunar, help me get theo nes inside. *He leaps in* I think someone has IT.
<DSTheMysterious> *the enemies inside aim their guns at John who begins to do the Fate thing and warps forward and then appears behind them*
<Alicia> * Michiru and Lunar Girl teleport into position, taking out the enemies
<DSTheMysterious> *They fall to Lunar and the driver goes does down, the van veering toward a building*
<DSTheMysterious> <John> Not bad!
<DSTheMysterious> <John> Urk!
<Alicia> * Michiru drives away from the building, despite the lack of experience
<DSTheMysterious> <John> And another case solved. ... lets get to the Gear and head out to space.
<DSTheMysterious> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DSTheMysterious> Location: PAX
<DSTheMysterious> *Selena looks around, holding Nico's hand*
<DSTheMysterious> <Selena> I never get used to being up here
<Alicia> <Mina> "Is it really that strange?"
<DSTheMysterious> *Lenneth greets everyone from Geyze, bowing as she leads them to the bridge. Asarar and Cypher look around calmly where Cypher is still looking shaken.*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Not used to seeing tech this shiny."
<DSTheMysterious> <Sabrina> *Chews gum all punk like, having been brought along, snatching things and hiding them in her uniform*
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 375 seconds)
* DSTheMysterious is now known as DeathStar
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks around as they walk, looking for changes since it's been a minute since he's been here.
<DeathStar> *as they get to the bridge, another joins them, Bobbi along with Vesper, both of them rushing in*
<Seraphna> Angela> So three kids, two fading and one vanishing after a moment… and people we can’t remember despite all logic saying we should. This is almost as freaky as that time Chad smiled.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I wonder if someone changed the timeline."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Changed... what?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Timeline changes aren’t this smooth.
<ChadWinters`> Doubtful, if the timeline changed I think we'd have harsher consequences. 6He steps onto the bridge
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You are right."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Changing the timeline?
<Alicia> <Mina> "That would be really serious."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *to Nico and Selena* People have done it.
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods
<Xanatos> <Xan> People forgetting family members would seem to point to something like that though.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Seriously? How would..."
<DeathStar> *somewhere on Geyze, Celes sips tea, innocently*
<Seraphna> Angela> It’s more like… **she frowns** More like the facts are being rewritten?
<Alicia> <Mina> "You don't understand it either?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean there's people on his ship who are from the future, it's one of the more insane things we've had to deal with.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am one of them."
<DeathStar> *as they head out through hyperspace, Cheryl crosses her arms* It's more like reality is being re-written
<Seraphna> Angela> You’d think they would remember vanishing kids.
<ChadWinters`> Whatever is the root cause of this, it would take a tremendous amount of energy.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... someone is actively trying to overwrite reality, i think. Still trying."
* ChadWinters` nods to Cheryl.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Who has the reality stuff right now?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is a major threat, either way."
<Seraphna> Angela> Does anyone…? Has the Tree been invaded?
<ChadWinters`> There's few people that I know of that have that power to re-write things this drastically.
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Well I Got some news. <Vesper> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ah, auntie... what has happened?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, that makes things simpler."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, we are leaving some people behind on Geyze - I will move some of our fleet to the tree but it will make out numbers smaller
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> I think I detected a signature that is like Andrea's
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Around last night
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You did?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What?!"
<ChadWinters`> Kaori is your best option on someone who could re-write reality.
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> It's ...here! *She shows the coordinats of where they are going*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kaori.... *She thinks* I think that's the name Taiga was mouthing
<Alicia> * Celeste pauses, looking over Bobbi, as if trying to remember something.
<Seraphna> Angela> That’s our planned attack vector.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But .... ... there's an issue with that
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...those madmen have my mother?!"
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah… who is Kaori?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's not certain, but it's likely."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you see any fox girls?
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Actually, you might be wrong.
<Seraphna> Angela> Come to think of it it, it feels like something was missing here.
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> If this Kaori has reality powers, she might have been protected
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What are you trying to say?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Protected from what?
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Well if there are no "Fox girls", and I assume Kaori is a fox girl by the way Cheryl just said that
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The changes in reality, of obviously."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl blinks*
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Then Kaori must still be partially in our reality
<Seraphna> Angela> Sounds like we need her to fix this. A world without girls with tails is a ln empty one.
<ChadWinters`> Hmmm. 6He crosses his arms thinking.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...wut?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *To nicolette*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It is, but..." *waves her devilish tail around to show off*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Imagine someone with the ability to change things being erased
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Show off Dark One."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...oh, I get that. I'm just weirded by the tail fetish."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They should have the capability to partially stop that and leave a lingering memory of themselves
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh that, don't ask me
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I odn't have one
<Seraphna> Angela> The fact that we are talking about her is proof of concept.
<ChadWinters`> It might be because I ingested a reality shard in the past.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... do stop making them feel self-conscious, Charlotte."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That sounds dangerous."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Honestly the name Kaori sounds familiar to me. But...fuck should we call this off and look for her instead?
<ChadWinters`> We may have to split up.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do we know where Kaori lives?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "We have enough people to."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> To begin the search?
<Seraphna> Angela> We may need one to solve the other. And… **frowns**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Let's take a step back and identify our goals. We're about to go to war. Why?
<Seraphna> Angela> I feel like I should know this.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You have a fleet already gathered for a purpose."
<DeathStar> *Thomas adjusts his glasses* Hm. I will be needed against... Him. *Referring to Titus*
* ChadWinters` pulls out his datapad eyeing it. 1"I don't have records of it...But...last time I had tabs on her..
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Have we really forgotten who we're fighting?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> No, I just odn't like thinking about him
<Xanatos> <Xan> Earthgov President is missing, correct? Does everyone remember that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are fighting Titus, leader of the rogue Templars.
<Alicia> <Mina> "Dias?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And they have apparently captured my mother as well."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't really know him, I just want to help my friend Nicolette.
<Seraphna> Angela> I remember the colorblind pain in the neck yes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Right, saving Dias after the intel I gathered....alone I guess?
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Right. Andrea is in there too
<ChadWinters`> I can send a weapon or two with you as back up, Marcus
<DeathStar> <Selena> If I find this Kaori, will it repair everyone?
<Seraphna> Angela> I’m sure we can spare people on both ends.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright so Dias and Andrea are taken by rogue Templar Titus. Also we have 3 individuals showing and their parents remember them but nothing about them.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Uncertain, but likely."
<ChadWinters`> Kaori's address used to be this. 6He manually puts it up on a screen. 1"I don't know if it'll be there anymore considering my datapad doesn't list it anymore.
<Xanatos> <Xan> One of them mouthed the name Kaori which we all sort of remember but we're not 100% on that.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Sounds like a fairy tale, but... things are definitely more screwy than normally."
<Seraphna> Angela> We might need Kaori to undo whatever they shithead did to reality I think.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl studies it* It looks like she lives on the PAX, Earth with the PAX, and on the Tree.
<DeathStar> *with the HEss
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I put my money on the tree.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Three places? Well, that's better than no leads at least."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Let's form teams to look for Kaori. While the rest of us save the president and Andrea.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The tree is absolutely the top priority, but maybe someone should check Earth too."
<Seraphna> Angela> I’ll narrow it down.
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh CHIP~? Is Kaori here.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You might need some sort of description for identification."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Nope
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No foxgirls on the station? Alright then."
<ChadWinters`> It's possible she's in a pocket dimension much like Xan was when we found him.
<Seraphna> Angela> There, two locations.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was the easy one, yes."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Alright. I'm going to lead my group to find this Kaori
<DeathStar> <Selena> *She eyes the place the PAX is going* We'll try to find you if we can
<Seraphna> Angela> And as usual I go where the cutest Dragoons go.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well, you heard the queen. <Asarar> Yas my queen.
<Seraphna> Angela> Just bring Thena with you. She can always get to the PAX.
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue and an Id pops out of a shadow and moves to follow Selena's group. 1"Id will keep tabs and help out if need be.
<DeathStar> *Asasar grabs Thena and an Id*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan scratches his chin at the Queen thing and then shrugs and moves with Asarar.
<Seraphna> Thena> Meep.
<DeathStar> *Asarar shoves her hands into her coat and follows Selena out*
<Alicia> * Mina follows too.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Hmph. *walks along, slouched*
<Alicia> <Mina> "Isn't this worth at least a little excitement?"
<Seraphna> **Luci follows the others, having put Fae with Terra**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Sahure
<Xanatos> 6* Bix and Simon are waiting for team Geyze by the teleporter.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I feel this is just getting more and more confusing.
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> *Turns to Noire* Are you ready?
<DeathStar> *bobbi
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ready and angry."
<Seraphna> Angela> So a usual day with us?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It really is."
<Xanatos> <Xan> When was the last time we had reality altering happen? Did it feel like this?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The ship is as ready as I can make it
<ChadWinters`> Well until we can find something to use as center point, we're gonna be running blind for a bit.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Let's do this."
<ChadWinters`> The last time I remembered everything. This is different.
<DeathStar> *X leans back in a Gear, having Kaleb in his own*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> My data is corrupted as well
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Even I have been forgetting things."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Could we decrypt or clean up that corrupted data, Adeline?
<ChadWinters`> Which could mean this is outside a complete reality altering ability. And something adjacent to it
<Seraphna> Angela> I can’t even remember what we lost but this feels vile.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I mean, I feel like the data just doesn't exist.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's like the data was exchanged
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah okay well at least that's proof of something.
<Seraphna> Angela> Your freaked out kid was proof too.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I just wish I had more time to bring this PAX's capabilities on line. *she notes as they exit, the massive allied fleet surrounding the Templar Fleet*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... Alright Father. I suppos you will not go down without a fight.
<ChadWinters`> Let's focus on what we can do for now and that's get Dias back.
<DeathStar> *sure enough the Templars begin to fire at the ships*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well yeah. 6* He nods to Angela, shifting over to start giving orders for the battle.
<DeathStar> *The powerful Templar Command ships doing their massive damage*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus bounces and moves for the hangar.
<Seraphna> **Angela grumbles and launches the Epsilon’s payload with the fighters**
<DeathStar> *X and Kaleb exit. At that moment Cersei exits with the remannts of her fleet and Leon's attacking Titus' fleet*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We do not want to get caught up in a slug fight with him - we should send a team to the base.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Their fucking weapons are still very very strong.
<ChadWinters`> XV, join them. 6He moves over to a console
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes, we cannot afford to get smashed.
<Seraphna> Angela> I can ground pound. Carolina is handling the Epsilon.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Assembling a team to join Marcus. 6* he starts sending out the orders to PAX people who would be into this sort of thing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suppose I will go. *she goes to the hanger along with Cheryl*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How are we to get through their line into the base?"
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> I guess trust this old gu
<DeathStar> *she motions at Xanatos*
<ChadWinters`> I'll have an Id and a Cel join you.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... very well." *turns on her heel and heads for the hangar*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Xanatos. Do you like video games?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Uh, I'm old.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. One moment?
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads for the hangar too.
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her armor and heads after them**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oookay.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to join the team in teh hanger.
<DeathStar> *Kyun's Tsivrixsh ships, which he has provided to the Suisen Fleet since the agreement - giving ships to fly along and follow their orders, flies and obeys Xanatos' commands. He'd find they're almost insanely to the T with his commands*
<DeathStar> *Rachael watches the fighting, a normal girl*
<ChadWinters`> Alright, Xan. Let's hope this is our last fight in a long time.
<Alicia> * Asha relaxes nearby, watching too.
<DeathStar> *Thomas buckles into the shuttle*
<Xanatos> <Xan> The Tsiv are really on it today.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel and XV moves to get on the shuttle, the two talking to each other.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *boards the shuttle and straps in* "If we defeat this Titus, will we be able to force the Templar fleet to stand down?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime joins them in the hangar, that look in her eyes, having realized she needs to do something to save her kid and whoever she lost**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Kellin are in the shuttle, both strapping in.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will taike over the fleet in his plac and force it to - at least that is my help
<DeathStar> *X provides support for the shuttle*
<ChadWinters`> <XV> You think they'll listen that easily?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We can never know.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Lets hope so."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright, I've hooked the Cartel and the Erusian and EarthGov ships to the PAX firing contorls
<DeathStar> *as Cheryl takes off, Snipe's gears appears with two girls helping him fire, joining the shuttle*
<Seraphna> Angela> Least we can hope that not all of them sit tight with galactic xenocide.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Get ready to dos some gaming. *She notes to those at the firing controls.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps his fall will convince them that he did not have whatever divine mandate that he purported to possess."
<DeathStar> *As the shuttle, with X and Snipe providing cover begins to get closer to the base, the enemy ships begin to fire at them, forcing Cheryl to dodge*
<DeathStar> *Chad FIRES THE GUNS - GET READY*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is organizing the fleet to fire and provide cover for the shuttle and gears
<Seraphna> **Angela forms an energy shield around the shuttle**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If not, we'll just have to make them give up manually."
<DeathStar> The MOre you can do, the more damage you can do - Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Down, Right, Right, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Down, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Left, Down, Riight, Up, Up, up, Down, Rioght, Left, Left, Riight, Up, Roight, Down, Lef,t Left, Right

<DeathStar> *The PAX, tied to all the allied guns, blows a lot of ships up and Cersei with her Templar ships joins in*
<DeathStar> *ship pieces flying everywhere*
<DeathStar> *sadly though the guns on the PAX shut down for a moment* <Adeline> Er, error, one moment
<Xanatos> <Xan> Did we overexert ourselves?
<ChadWinters`> Report Adeline. 6His eyes dart around at the screen.
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes all the blown up ships* I say you took out like over half of the fleet
<DeathStar> *The shuttle lands on the base with the gear and Thomas, Cheryl, and Erevis rush inside with X and Snipe following*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *pops up* "Emergency repair time."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Please.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Get the progenitor squad to help.
<ChadWinters`> I guess getting a decents night of sleep helps.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I guess I shouldn't link all our fleets again
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Angela rush out ready for battle**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Good work there Chad, really.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Kellin both rush out of the shuttle.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps off the shuttle, moving along with the rest, her schoolgirl uniform shifting to her sexy armored form*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *salutes and ducks under a console*
<ChadWinters`> 6XV and Cel both moved down the shuttle and quickly assess the area
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the address for Hess, when suddenly a strange cat creature rushes out of a cat door and begins to rush them, it's spiked body throwing spikes at them to get off it's property*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Aaah!
<DeathStar> *Asarar curses and gets a spike in her arm*
<Alicia> <Mina> "What the hell is that?"
<DeathStar> *The cat creature hisses ferally, looking more like a small cougar*
<Seraphna> **Thena teleports to it and gives it a rub in the right place**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *joined up with them from Kumen before they leftt he PAX. She grabs Asarar and pulls her under cover*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX eeks and runs around trying to avoid spikes. Simon tries to roll into cover
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That is an odd creature.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh starts recording details on her datapad.
<DeathStar> *The cat creature pauses, then is pacified*
<Xanatos> <Logan> What the hell even is that?
<DeathStar> *it has a collar on it*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I say we destroy it. Ow. Thanks Kira.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan winces trying to pull a spike out of his shoulder.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It looks like some sort of pet."
<Seraphna> Thena> There there. We are here to see your mommy.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... It looks mean
<Jackieness> <Kira> "A guard pet by the looks of it."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. Genetic modification?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Some sort of weapon..."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Focus, people."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Probably. I'd need to get the DNA to be sure."
<DeathStar> *The cat creature now seems utterly friendly*
<Seraphna> Luci> Probably some alien cat.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You want to get it's DNA?
<Seraphna> **Thena pets it more and then leads it to the door**
<DeathStar> *Cypher pauses* Why do I suddenly feel like I recall a slightly unfriendly cat spirit...
<ChadWinters`> <Id> She has a borderline obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to DNA.
<Xanatos> <BIX> Strong guard! Weak Point = Serious Problem!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, not if it means angering it, but..."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Again, focus."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> And something familiar.
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves toward the door carefully*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan's 3 people move up to the door
<Alicia> * Mina heads for the door too, Ceilidh following a bit behind.
<Seraphna> **Thena rings the bell**
<DeathStar> *Selena follows carefully and knocks on the door - soon an automated message informs them that Hess is not home*
<Seraphna> Thena> Heeeeessssss!
<DeathStar> <Automated Message> Would you like to leave a message for Hess?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It looks like this place is a bust.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Does she have a job? We could try there.
<Alicia> <Mina> "... I guess it can't help to leave a message."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Is there any chance the cta creature is the one we're looking for in some sort of disguise?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> *picks the cat create up* Are YOU Kaori?
<Seraphna> Thena> We’re looking for Kaori~
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "A shapeshifter?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would be impossible to fully know. 6Id scans the house for lifeforms
<DeathStar> <Automated Message> There is no Kaori on the premise.
<Seraphna> Thena> That is Hess’ pretty kitty.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You said somethign about realty control, right?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> To the tree?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Pretty frightening, you mean."
<Seraphna> Thena> I can pop in and make sure she’s not actually here.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Ceilidh take the cat with us. And sure. After that, we'll go to the tree.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh picks up the cat. Carefully.
<DeathStar> *it eyes Ceilidh*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, Thena. I would recommend that option.
<Seraphna> **Thena pops in, then put again** Okay… not here. Hess was altered too. It’s a single’s pad in there.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We're stealing a pet?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Comandeering."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll leave a note.
<Seraphna> Thena> If we are heading to the tree I can reduce our search time.
<Alicia> <Mina> "This is a really weird search."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Thanks. And this was such a normal day too.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We'll need to get permission to go to the tree.
<DeathStar> <Selena> We don't have time. Just take us Thena and quickly
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hopefully Lenneth cleared us
<Seraphna> **Thena takes them to a teleported and after they all gets in enters a special code**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan tries to peek at the code
<DeathStar> *As they are teleported, suddenly something happens and they fall inside the treet and appear in the crystal pathways*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We're not on a tree.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would appear we are....inside it?
<Xanatos> <BIX> OoooOoooo
<DeathStar> <Cypher> .... I think we're lost. *she eyes the pathways stretching onward*
<Seraphna> Thena> Sort of.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I've never been inside a tree before..."
<DeathStar> *The cat hisses and leaps off Ceilidh, running off*
<Alicia> * Mina rushes after
<Seraphna> Thena> This teleported is normally off limits.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Cat! <Selena> ... *follows*
<Seraphna> *r
<DeathStar> *Sabrina
<DeathStar> <Asarar> This day just keeps getting worse. *to Kira*
<Seraphna> Thena> Don’t run off into the reality tunnels please…
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe it senses its mistress!" *follows*
<Seraphna> **Thena sighs and fixes her glasses, following and looking to see if they are headed to the console**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX seems distracted before blinking and following the others Simon and Logan is moving along with Simon in particular making odd faces as he squints and thinks to himself.
<DeathStar> *As they walk onward, they soon come across what looks to be an ancient chamber where something can be activated - assuming it has enough power, but clearly there's no power source anymore; Asarar studies it, then tchs*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *suddenly, the PAX begins to issue warnings from the base*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is not good
<ChadWinters`> Bring them up Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> ... *she leans forward as the warnings seem to be something along the lines of Dark One related warnings and to gt shields up*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think we need Ao and Drasek to power the shields
<Xanatos> <Xan> Raising shields.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I will help."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Tch, you're right.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Any Progenitor to power
<Alicia> * Jikuu goes to help power the shields
<Seraphna> **Sammael pops in to power**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* All progenitor to engineering, we need full power to shields.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...what about our people there?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan also sends out alerts throughout the fleet to shield up
<ChadWinters`> Get them to do whatever they can.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *pokes a hand out of the console, figner raised dramatically* "Take evasive action!"
<DeathStar> *a powerful dark emits that is almost dark powered, almost mystical - but that should have been erased - and hits the ship and due to mystical powers being erased it's like it almost can't handle it if not for the Progs*
<DeathStar> *The shields spaz*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Someone is using the... *winces* The ...books...?
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Or someone with knowledge of them
<ChadWinters`> What the hell was that? 6He looks over at the sensors to try and make sense of it all
<DeathStar> *Bobbi
<ChadWinters`> Could this be the Andrea you picked up?
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Yes, Andrea did that.
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> She knows a lot about Dark One powers.
<ChadWinters`> They found a way to weaponize her.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The group needs to yank her out of there
<Jackieness> <Myria> *form inside the console* "Huuuuuh... the Templars sure were quick to embrace the dark pwoer when they started losing."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We can continue to mop up the fleet but while they got Dias and Andrea in there, attacking the base will be difficult
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tries to get a comm connection with the team inside.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Bringing the weapons back online
<DeathStar> *Xanatos manages to do so*
<ChadWinters`> Well this is only going get tougher from her on out then.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Bobbi says that power just now was from Andrea, they might be using her. Trying to pinpoint location for you now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> We'll find them all. You just win the boring stuff.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *reconnects some cables* "Power conduits to firing control rerouted."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth touches ehr comms* Jikuu, Drasek, and Ao - be prepared for another blast
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> OH and Sammy
<Seraphna> Sammael> Oh good I was not erased.
<DeathStar> *The eye of Sauron turns to Sammael and she vanishes*
<DeathStar> (Kidding)
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: TEmplar Base
<DeathStar> *Cheryl walks along the very samey hallways*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ...Hm. *he studies a chart on the wall*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> This way!
<DeathStar> *He moves ahead*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How far?"
<DeathStar> *Snipe taps his mask with his gun as he follows* <Thomas> Not far.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has his pistols formed and Marcus is holding his shotgun, they follow Thomas.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel and XV and an Idlet move along with the group, following Thomas.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Are all your bases this bland?
<Seraphna> Angela> I expected at least preachy wall hangings. And a sense of self righteousness.
<DeathStar> *up ahead is a massive prison complex where they find Fate, looking weak. She's in younger form, and massive pile of guards are laying on the ground as she tries to get to the prison; but there's still at least 30 Templars guarding the cell*
<DeathStar> <X> *points and Kaleb rushes ahead*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus charges with Kaleb.
<DeathStar> *Kaleb uses drunken fighting style to take down Templars while Snipe just shoots people in the legs*
<Seraphna> **Angela fires a blast as Jaime forms a blaster and fires similar energy, rushing in**
<DeathStar> <Thomas> .... *Hm hm's, observing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmmmm.." *forms ehr Dark Edge and then charges in*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sends her drones to distract the Templars as she strikes with tendrils
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides up to help the young girl, putting himself between her and the guards he fires shots when he knows it's not going to hit an ally.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus uses his shotgun...mostly as a club, only firing once or twice while mostly clubbing and punching at guards.
<DeathStar> *X uses her ripple blade to swing and cut throeats from a distance*
<DeathStar> *Throats
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel crackles with electrical energy and suddenly streaks in, attacking a few of the guards while XV falls into her own shadow and sends several shadow spikes towards two guards
<DeathStar> *Fate takes this moment to rest*
<DeathStar> <X> We need something to take out a large group
<Alicia> * Celeste moves over to Fate. "Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> *The Templars begin to charge their weapons*
<DeathStar> *Getting ready* <Thomas> Look out
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Allow me!" *raises ahand to form a Dakr Matter ball and lobs it at the middle of the Templars*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blasts and cuts though others with hyperspace, seeming without spirits she would have copied a Dragoon**
<DeathStar> *Fate nods* Just overtaxing myself.
<Alicia> * Charlotte summons The Hands to strike at the Templars
<Seraphna> **Angela strikes the ground and sends an energy wave into the charging tempalrs**
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel quickly moves to get away, not wanting to get caught up in that
<DeathStar> *The combined attack sends the Templars flying, clearing the room*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... *wipes glasses* That works.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and peers around**
<DeathStar> *Fate points in th middle one* That one.
<DeathStar> *The middle cell has an energy field*
<DeathStar> *And a normal lock - meaning keys*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to take a templar weapon, looking it over.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Can we bust this open?
<Alicia> * Celeste looks for a key
<Seraphna> **Jaime checks officers for keys
<DeathStar> *The templar weapon seems to be some sort of energy sword that powers up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If not, then point out the cables and I'll just tera them out."
<DeathStar> *Jaime finds the keys*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Ah...sword. So savage.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "No need, Jaime found the keys."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Those swords were firing energy blasts at me
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel grabs one of the weapons and sticks it in her pocket space.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What's wrong with swords?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Don't underestimate them
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over to unlock it**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Not my thing, here. 6* he offers it out to anyone who wants to try it.
<DeathStar> *it opens and inside is an armless Dias*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I went with a sword manifestation of my power!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> They took the arm.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves in quickly to kneel by Dias.
<DeathStar> *also with his chest having a scar*
<ChadWinters`> 6XV pops up from Cel's shadow. 1"This is quite the set up.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy shit you've seen better days. 6* He checks to make sure he's still alive.
<DeathStar> *He .... lives*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> We got him. *he turns to find Titus now*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alive but not quite intact. Now where is my mother?!"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes sure Dias isn't chained up or anything and is stable enough to carry.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl pats Dias' head and goes to follow while X smacks Dias awake*
<DeathStar> <X> LEts go
<DeathStar> *drops a candy bar in his lap*
<Seraphna> Angela> **follows**
<DeathStar> <Kaleb> She missed you
<DeathStar> *Kaleb follows after Thomas*
<DeathStar> <X> Not as much as Marcus!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can’t wait to smack around whatever bastard erases kids.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias grunts as his eyes flicker open. 1"God damn that's quite the wake up." 6He smiles at Marcus and then nods to Kaleb and watches X a bit before shifting his body a bit as he stands up on his own
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Dias, how are you feeling... other than the arm?"
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Hey, I'm sure he's handy to have around still, Char
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin muses and follows Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Snipe turns to the two masked girls he has with him and nods*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Like someone's been torturing me non-stop for the last 4 months. 6He cracks his neck a bit. 1"Wait, what about my arm?
<Seraphna> Angela> Let’s not overreach on the arm jokes.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You've been... disarmed."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Honestly can't believe you're alive with all this damage. Could've swore I...dreamed? you died.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Nice. I gotta hand it to you.
<Seraphna> Angela> Dias really needs to get a grasp on his situation.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What is happening. Is this a collective stroke?
<DeathStar> <X> I Think they been waiting to do this for months
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Please. It'll take more than some mild torture to kill me. 6He pats Marcus on the shoulder with his right arm. 1"I think it's time for some payback.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Enough with the stupid puns! Wher eis my mother?!"
<Seraphna> Angela> Somewhere kid, but asking us won’t find her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> OH. yeah jokes uh...hand it...FUCK Snipe did that one. Anyway lets go punch a motherfucker or three.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Good question. *as they near the bridge, the atmosphere begins to darken*
<DeathStar> *Snipe tensing up*
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh! I think I know.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh I've been storing up a punch for that one reason. 6He glances around a bit. 1"This feel familiar."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I believe we may be near my mother's location actually..."
<DeathStar> <Fate> ...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is a good sign, but maybe also a bad sign."
<DeathStar> *suddenly a dark spell crashes through the floor above and begins to crush the entire group, not allowing them the capability to move.*
<DeathStar> *the spell slowly crushing like an invisible hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **growls and focuses, attempting to form a TK barrier around the group**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> GRAHHH. 6* He tenses.
<Alicia> * Celeste tries to counter the spell
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Urk.. <X> ....
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnnnn... tries using Dakr Absorption to absorb the energy of the spell."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hurks, his legs instantly spreading as he strains to keep him upright. 1"I just got out for a walk. I'm not getting restrained again.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel and XV both fall to their knees.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus would probably wolf out like some nerd right about now but instead just lays flat making grunts of pain.
<Seraphna> **Angela grits her teeth, eyes moving about looking for the source**
<DeathStar> *The spell shoatters*
<DeathStar> *Thakns to the two*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stands up and flicks her hair back* "Move faster."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... good work Noire."
<Seraphna> **Jaime gasps and finished forming her barrier in the free moment**
<Alicia> * Celeste looks faintly snubbed for a moment
<DeathStar> *another dark spell begins to chant - this time a death spell - but it looks like Andrea is on the floor above*
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Move
<DeathStar> *he leaps up*
<DeathStar> *X rippling up*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... great.
<DeathStar> *he slowly climbs up*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports the others up**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pants, traces of hyperspace along the veins of his legs he super speeds up.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias stands up right now, rotating his left shoulder a bit, as he looks up. He hops a few times then leaps upwards
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads up if she can*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pats Thomas and slow climbs with him.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel rolls over to XV and the two falls into their shadow and disappear
<Seraphna> **Angela glows and once they appear she leaps towards the caster**
<Alicia> * Charlotte climbs
<DeathStar> *the group finds Andrea, looking older, a sign her power is waning and being abused, in a Dark One chamber, things attached to her to keep her unconscious the device is clearly making a weapon out of her. As they leap up, the spell is unleashed outward, not just at them*
<DeathStar> <X> It's coming in. Get ready
<DeathStar> *Erevis warps in front of them and throws a progenitor shield up*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Brace yourselfs everyone
<Seraphna> **Angela forms a holy shield to counter the darkness**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Tenses*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to gives Erevis more energy
<Seraphna> **Jaime gasps and helps fuel Erevis**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to recover Dark Absorption to drain the oncming spell like thae last one*
<Alicia> * Celeste forms an anti-magic shield to counter the darkness
<Xanatos> 6* Mrcus tenses, shielding his eyes.
<DeathStar> *The spell manages to not hit them*
<DeathStar> *Erevis falling to a knee. A scientist Templar eyes them, and begins to whisper in Andrea's ear for another spell*
<DeathStar> <X> He's going to drain her dry
<Seraphna> Angela> **aims her blade abs sends a holy blast for the scientist**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Enough!" *lashes tendrils at all of the connectors*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias takes a step forward then suddenly disappears and reappears by the side of the scientist, bluring, and throws a massive punch for his face
<Alicia> * Charlotte launches both drones and tendrils once more
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks around for machine controls anywhere.
<DeathStar> *The tendrils are hit and damaged as the scientist goes down. MArcus would see no sign of an actual machine control; the connectors go into andrea and up into the ceiling*
<DeathStar> *which are not sparking a bit*
<DeathStar> *now
<DeathStar> *The sparks threatening to start a fire*
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps up and slices with a hyper blade at a connnection wire**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can we cut her free?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then runs over to her mother's side* "Mother, I am here!"
<DeathStar> *Andrea stirs and opens her eyes. Thomas muses, glancing around the room*
<Alicia> * Charlotte uses her future-vision to determine if it's safe to do so, then attempts to slice the wires if so
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves over to andrea's side as well, checking to see if they can remove the connection directly from andrea.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances at Thomas.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Your father?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands bouncing on one foot. 1"Not quite the warm-up I wanted." 6He glances at Fate, nodding to her before looking over Andrea.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I'm just wondering why let us have the girl
<Seraphna> Angela> Buying time.
<DeathStar> *with the connectors into the ceiling cut off, it would appear the stuff to Andrea is cut off*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> The arm and the books, we have not found them.
<ChadWinters`> 6He starts eating the candy bar that X gave him as his stomach starts growling
<DeathStar> *but there is a danger to the room still - it's about to go bye bye*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "EVERYONE OUT!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to free Andrea and carry her out with her*
<DeathStar> <X> OF course.
<DeathStar> *Andrea is tugged, the device giving her trouble*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves with Andrea and Noire, helping lift her if need be
<Alicia> * CHarlotte helps Noire
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias turns, moving to grabs Fate and throw her on to his shoulder as he motions to Kaleb and X to go
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Good to see....kiddo...
<Seraphna> Angela> Ooo, trap. **she moves, Jaime slicing Andrea free**
<DeathStar> *X oopens a ripple to help as the room begins to shake*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin hops in the ripplle.
<DeathStar> *Snikpe and Thomas hurry through*
<DeathStar> *Erevis warping as Fate goes wheee*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus would guide noire and andrea trhrough the ripple
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lepos through with he rmother*
<Seraphna> **Angela hope through as does Jaime**
<Alicia> * Celeste heads through once everyone else has
<DeathStar> *The room explodes behind them a moment or two later*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hallways
<DeathStar> *Selena paces while eyeing the depowered device*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Can we hit it?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Not a good idea."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I have seen data on this place. I would not recommend it.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And hitting it will achieve what, exactly?"
<Alicia> <Mina> "What does it *do*?"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX taps his head, thinking.
<Seraphna> Thena> I think we need to power it somehow.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "What IS it?"
<Xanatos> <BIX> Power. BUtton? 6* he looks around for something like that.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats over to it and begins scanning things, for record purposes.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Big crystal place is about as far as I've gotten.
<Alicia> * Mina examines the device closely.
<DeathStar> *it seems that the power button is right there but it needs a jolt of power*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks it over, trying to recall something.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. I wonder if I could use myself.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That would depend on if you have a compatible power supply.
<DeathStar> *Asarar pulls her coat off*
<Seraphna> Thena> Would Hyperspace work?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm having trouble piecing it together but I've been here before.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not know. I imagine it's reality energy powered.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Thwn we would need Kaori."
<Seraphna> Thena> We lack that…
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yeah that sounds right. I believe these are different pathways but my memory of this time is...vague.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, that would be the best option but we do not have that. Progenitor may suffice but it's hard to say if it will be as powerful or won't have consequences.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah it's probably reality powered but if we can just get it jump staeted. *she hooks herself to it and begins to transfer her own energy to it*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX nods to Asarar and moves to help so they're both not mega drained.
<DeathStar> *a moment or two passes, then Asarar slumps over, as if dead when the device starts up, as does Bix*
<Alicia> <Mina> "If there's anything I acn do..."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "My best idea is to break open a circuit breaker and plug it in."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> *touches the two,then eyes the device start up*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Whoa. 6* He shakes Asarar.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves to chekc Asarar over*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh dear. This is not good, get them unhooked.
<Alicia> <Mina> "Are you alright?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks at the device.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It's starting up. It's got a message. *It reads: "Who is Kaori?"*
<Seraphna> **Thena frown looking her over** Say “your Child”.
<DeathStar> *Cypher helps get Selena and Bix free*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Why that?
<ChadWinters`> 6Id scans Asarar for life .
<DeathStar> *Asarar
<DeathStar> *Asarar seems to be in some sort of deep sleep*
<Seraphna> Thena> I vaguely remember Kaori was born from Centerpoint.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "She alright?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Comatose but alive.
<DeathStar> *Selena types it in and a momenr or two later the device glows, then a naked Kaori appears in the middle of the pad*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Um, we got a fox girl.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> A what?
<Xanatos> <Simon> That's her. I remember Kaori.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *points*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "An actual kitsune?"
<Xanatos> 6* Bix would hopefully be in a similar deep sleep/low power mode.
<Seraphna> Thena> Now I suppose we need to get her to whatever changed everything. Cute.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> What if we get her to change reality as we wanted?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to wake her gently.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I personally want school to go away
<Alicia> <Mina> "Make me a magical girl!"
<Seraphna> Thena> We don’t know what to undo.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Make things the way they were..."
<Seraphna> Thena> We might cause those lost to never be.
<Xanatos> <Simon> You both are not in charge of this decision.
<DeathStar> *Asarar stirs and opens her eyes, then reaches over and helps Bix reboot*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That is a good thing.
<DeathStar> *Kaori wakes up*
<Xanatos> <BIX> OooooOOoooooOoooosleepy
<DeathStar> <Kaori> ... *Eyes them all*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We need your help."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina goes to make her demand when Selena covers her mouth*
<Seraphna> Thena> I don’t suppose you know what was erased, Kaori.
<Alicia> <Mina> "We lost the spirits, definitely."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Kaori do you remember us?
<DeathStar> <Kaori> *Thinks* ... Maybe. *She touches Nicolette and suddenly, both her, Mina, and Sabrina are magical girls - indicating all Magical girls are back*
<DeathStar> <Kaori> ... *eyes her hands*
<Alicia> <Mina/Sparkling> "Phew..."
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes the Spirits… and the other fox girls.
<Seraphna> Thena> I imagine others too.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... I feel better.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I feel a *lot* better."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I think we should get out of here
<Jackieness> <Kira> "what's our next move? And where did that cat get to?"
<DeathStar> *the cat seems to be strolling down a random pathway - better get it*
<Seraphna> Thena> I can take us back to the teleporter. I suppose we need to use the official one.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It should be to regroup with the others.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I completely forgot about the cat. Give me a moment." *heads after it*
<Seraphna> **Thena floats the kitty to her**
<DeathStar> *Asarar puts a coat over Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *to Nicolette* You look better that way
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, what else got changed...?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Ah, thanks..."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Once we get Kaori out lets start seeing if we can't figure out what needs to be fixed.

<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *the PAX alarms go off due to that death attack*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> If it wasn't for the PRogenitors we'd have died
<ChadWinters`> Losses on the rest of the fleet?
<DeathStar> *the fleet however did not faire well, despite beating the Templar Fleet*
<Seraphna> Sammael> You are welcome. Drasek says he wants double beers.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> IT seems we lost a fair number, but surprisingly the Tsivrixsh used their shields to take brunts all over so it was less than it could have been - except for them
<ChadWinters`> Durran, make sure we honor them properyl after this
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...yeah.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth touches her ear* It seems they located Kaori. They will bring her here in soon
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Good."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth turns in her chair as Thena brings the group onto the bridge, Kaori looking around*
<ChadWinters`> It's good to know I can trust my memory then.
<DeathStar> <Selena> So what do we fix?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Spirits was a word said.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Can you bring the spirits back?"
<DeathStar> *Kaori focuses, and then suddenly, Nicolette is lifted up by the wind*
<DeathStar> *Sylph zooming by; and a moment later Taiga and Ren appear. Ren hurrying over to check on Charlotte's progress*
<Seraphna> Thena> There we’re other foxes.
<Seraphna> Thena> And… others?
<DeathStar> <Kaori> Others?
<ChadWinters`> I imagine this is going to be taxing, Kaori.
<DeathStar> *As magic and other things are returning, Kaori looks exhausted*
<Seraphna> Thena> Other races considered supernatural
<DeathStar> <Kaori> Oh. ... *she nods*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "If there's anything I can do to help, just ask."
<DeathStar> *Sylph moves to check on Fae, Selena's hair slowly turning black*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I feel the universe is almost there...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Templar Base
<DeathStar> *The group reaches the bridge, where Titus is , peering out at the informaion*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> IT is over. Surrender.
<DeathStar> *Titus turns to Thomas* You always were weak, Thomas.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You're the weak one, Titus."
<Seraphna> Angela> He seems pretty strong, but a coward is making that call.
<DeathStar> <Fate> ... *Cheryl and X look grim in the background as Snipe puts his gun up*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias steps in, while looking worse for wear, seems to have a weight about him, almost oppressive.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... who gave in and started using Dark One powers when the chips were down? Grounds for excommunication, hmmmm?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ... 6* He tilts his head, glancing around the room for something 'fishy'.
<DeathStar> <Titus> I made the galaxy balanced and you and your friends are busy trying to reverse that
<DeathStar> <Titus> Ah, I used that creature as a tool.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "And you think that makes it better?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Balanced? All you did was make a Galaxy where the Dark Ones were still around for you to murder innocent people with.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's nice when the baddies are blatant pieces of shit. No ambiguity there.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That creature is my mother, and you are a hypocrite!"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> It's something that you should've expected.
<DeathStar> <Titus> But the fact is I was used her to do this. *He holds up Pandora's Box and begins to dig his fingers in, when suddenly Noire warps, and turns ... normal*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "HOW DARE YOU!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Wh... what!?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *winces and due to her weakened state, looks like an older woman*
<Seraphna> Angela> Uncounted children erased.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias eyes go wide before he starts dashing in towards Titus
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts and doublehand throws his shotgun toward Titus like someone throwing an axe.
<DeathStar> *suddenly a Knight steps in front with a dagger and slashes, warping almost* <X> Look out, that's the guy that almost killed me!
<Alicia> * Celeste follows Dias in to support the charge
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias leans back to slide under the incoming slash
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin begins to fire on the knight, moving away from the group tot he left.
<Seraphna> **Angela moves in after then and hurls a shield in the Knight’s way**
<DeathStar> *titus uses the Box for now to protect himself*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That box isn't yours.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Kellin, do you still have that sword?!"
<Alicia> * Charlotte launches a tendril to try to grab the box
<DeathStar> *The Knight dashes to the side and dashes around to the side, and moves in on those with supernatural statuses, spinningin at them, stabbin for Marcus*
<DeathStar> <X> Look out!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin nods and tosses it for Noire.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus falls back, rolling backwards fromt he slash
<DeathStar> *Titus eyes Charlotte and pulls out a bigger version of the ritual sword and cuts her tendril
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses Ace of Spades and waits for the right moment to warp, slicing at Titus’ arms**
<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... *tries to get closer to Titus*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *garabs the sword and activates it* "I am more than just my powers!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves up towards Titus, knowing they have the knight handled. 1"You can't hide behind their forever"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *Erevis watches, not fighting for now*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin charges shots, firing them for the Knight every so often.
<Seraphna> **Angela strikes out at the Knight, going full armor to make this medieval**
<DeathStar> *Titus hisses at the slice and Snipe dashes in and punches at the Knight, forcing him back. He seems nonchalant so far*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes for an opening and then dashes at the Knight's flank, trying to bisect it with the Templar sword*
<DeathStar> <Titus> ..... *He readies himself*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias pulls his right hand back and steps forward, throwing a punch in at whatever is protecting Titus and the box
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps back and tries to TK throw the box out of his weakened arms**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls a beam saber out from his coat and activates it, moving in to slash at the knight to keep it occupied.
<Alicia> * Celeste backs Dias up, waiting for an opening to strike
<DeathStar> *The Knight brings his sword up to parry Noire, pushing against her, then eyes Marcus coming in and brings out a smaller dagger to parry*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin releases a charges shot for the knight's face
<Seraphna> **Angeka thrusts for the Templar’s side**
<DeathStar> *The Knight is flung back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *presses her attack when the Knight tries to switch focus to attack Marcus*
<DeathStar> <Titus> .... *grips the box and begins to whisper something, right as Dias comes in - it's clear he's just oging to erase everoyne in here*
<DeathStar> *his shield glowing*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves along the right at Noire moves in, slashing to keep that free hand parrying him.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and suddenly throws out her arms, trying to make the ship floor cut at his legs**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias suddenly steps forward again, swinging his left side forward as a trail of energy comprised of Dark Energy and Light energy begins to form a hand. 
<DeathStar> *The Knight falls to his knees*
<DeathStar> <Knight> ... *suddenly throws the dagger at Noire's gut*
<Seraphna> **Angela growls** Surrender. Don’t fight for this corrupt fool.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shoots to deflect the dagger, trying to give Noire an opening.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That's enough from you. 6More energy spirals around it as he slams it towards Titus and whatever's protecting him, aiming to punch through and grab onto the box.
<DeathStar> *Titus falls as it cuts him, still preparing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to take the Templar Knight's head*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries to TK his mouth shut**
<Alicia> * Celeste rushes Titus, striking at him with her sword, but mostly just keeping him from reacting to Dias
<DeathStar> *the shield goes down and he lifts his sword to fire beam it, Thomas throwing a book to distract him along with Celeste and let Dias punch him and grab the book while the Knight loses his head*ad
<DeathStar> *grab the box
<Seraphna> **Jaime glides along the floor, clothes altering as she moves swiftly behind Titus**
<DeathStar> *the box seems to have been heavily damaged*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias grabs onto the box with his right hand, and shifts around, pulling his etheral energy arm back and throwing another another punch for Titus's face this time.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *picks up the Knight's sword and holds them both up* "That's right!"
<DeathStar> *Titus goes to grab it when Erevis lifts her hand and aims it at the wall, when suddenly Kaori restores everything, titus' eyes widening.* <Titus> No no no.... *He goes flying into Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *Fires a hyperspace beam, destroying all the controls on this ship*
<DeathStar> *Andrea weakly rises, her dark form restoring*
<Seraphna> **Jaime having readied to stab him in the back, finds a Titus flying into her blade**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I don't enjoy being someone elses test subject. 6He eyes the box, studying it for a moment.
<DeathStar> <Fate> What will you do now? *to Dias*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... I'm feeling better already." *glances at Andrea* "And you are regaining your vigor, mother."
<DeathStar> <X> .... Hm. There's someone else in here.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> GRAH....>TCH....GHAAHR. 6* He grabs his chest and doubles over, hair forming on his arms and face.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And Marcus is a werewolf again."
<DeathStar> *Snipe turns and eyes a Knight standing in the doorway with a ritual sword*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well… you deserve it for trying to murder my wife, bastard.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> It's damaged which means it needs to be protected even more so now. And what better place than with me. 6He shifts the box towards his chest
<DeathStar> *Fate nods and helps the box enter Dias' chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thomas, call off the rest of the Templars." *turns to the new Knight*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin walks over to Snipe and looks to the knight in the doorward, he aims with his pistol.
<Xanatos> (doorway)
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias closes his eyes as it enters, a wave of warmth coming off him.
<DeathStar> *The Knight turns to go* <Thomas> I tihnk we defeated most of the Knights here an the ship is going down
<DeathStar> *The base
<Xanatos> <Marcus> FUUUUUUUUUCK
<DeathStar> *Thomas eyes the alarms
<Seraphna> **Jaime deforms the blade of hyperspace cooking Titus’ chest, forming rock armor in place of her missing armor and lets him drop**
<DeathStar> <X> Dark Jaime
<DeathStar> *Andrea leans on Noire* I still feel like shit
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pants, now in full wolf form again, trying to keep his more beastily nature in check after not using it for a while.
* ChadWinters` opens his eyes and nods to Fate. 1"You did good out there before, Fate. Seem's you've gotten stronger."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I don't know what he did to me
<ChadWinters`> *dias*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey, he ran into it.
<DeathStar> *X and Kaleb stand together and open ripples to escape*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **runs over, as does Angela**
<DeathStar> <Fate> So did you.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns off the templat blade and secures it* "Come one, let's get you to Rei's... they burned down grandmother's house."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin scratches his head at the knight leaving and glances to Thomas.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You going to order a stand down or we leaving?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> It's been awhile since I had a chance to be challenged like that. 6He winks and moves towards X and Kaleb.
<DeathStar> *Andrea hangs her haead a bit a bit* <Thomas> Yeah. Lets get to the PAX so I can get them to stand down
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel and XV appear and move through the ripples
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Right."
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits at the bar*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So, THIS is a normal day
<DeathStar> *She eyes the students outside learning spirit-tech, magic, and other Geyze related things*
<DeathStar> *Selena watches Sylph sitting outside drinking fruit wine and patting Fae*
<DeathStar> *The familiar rune sits at the science office*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie eyeing it quietly*
<DeathStar> *Before trotting off*
<Seraphna> **Talia paws it**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh continues to study it
<Xanatos> <Logan> This is more interesting at least.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *finally speaks up* "Ceilidh, I still can't get that dream out of my head!"
<Seraphna> **Luci nods and eats a leg of something**
<Ariel> * Nicolette is... not studying, and just... unusually flop. "Whew..."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "that had better not be human, daemon, or otherwise."
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh seems data that one can turn a familiar into a super familiar - just need to really pump them full of mana for hours and hours and hours at ends, hence why Bonnie was drugged out of her mind*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon sits cross-legged on a pillar of ice, practicing some of his more basic spells.
<Seraphna> Talia> With this my children can rise and take over….
<DeathStar> *Selena offers her a milkshake* Here from the bar
<Seraphna> Talia> …the fishing industry.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats by Simon then pauses. 1"How have you been acclimating?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX continues his plot of finding his original body...by writing more question marks on the board.
<DeathStar> *Lumi sits in her office, eyeing herself*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> ... I am here right?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Ah..." She sips the drink, "Reality is crazy, but I wouldn't trade it."
<Seraphna> **Thena sets down her tea**
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes my dear.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Which dream?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Multiple memory incidents in a short time is concerning. But it is...what it is, as they say.
<DeathStar> *Lumi drinks the tea slowly*
<Seraphna> Thena> I only had one hint something was off at first… because without you I felt empty.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I was asked to resume teaching, I don't think I will. I am uncertain what my path should be now but now I have two versions of Simon that I am not to base this next path on.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So there I was... on MArs, stuck in a one room apartment... subsisting only on ramen and pale as can be sicne the only light I was getting was from a hakcing console... and I was an A cup."
<Seraphna> Luci> Wait how was that last part a thing?
<DeathStar> *Asarar motions that Lana has been hitting the herbs again*
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....how does magic make your boobs smaller? Wait did you use magic on them?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Hmmm. Well lucky for you, no path is truely set in stone so you are free to be whoever you want to be.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe it was just a dream."
<Seraphna> Luci> Can magic make boobs bigger?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Could I use magic to make my business match my muscles?
<Ariel> * Nicolette opens an eye to glance at Lana
<Seraphna> **Talia turns to scurry to the bar** I sense my pillows are in danger.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Anyway, I have all the notes on the original familair creation ritual, of which I was allowed to observe the development. I also took a smany notes as I could on the final form from the time period where I retrieved the runice artifact."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, are you the reason Bonnie has been acting like that?"
<DeathStar> *Bonnie stalks outside, eyeing the bar*
<Xanatos> <Simon> That is a fair observation. I am just uncertain. I have thought about leaving for a short time, to travel alone and think on myself, but after having lost me before I'm not certain some of our allies would appreciate that.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe? Its... hard to say..."
<Seraphna> **Talia hops into Lana’s cleavage as a cat**
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 2-
<ChadWinters`> <Id> A walkabout. It's not a horrible idea. And if you promise to stay in contact, I do not believe it would be a problem
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes the reports of the battle* We came out on top for once. The Templars under Titus said they will follow Thomas if he goes with them
<ChadWinters`> That should give us a reprieve with them for now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He plans to depart soon. Cersei will likely join him with her forces. And oddly I haveve noticed Leon's forces are now acting like they have their own leader again.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What happened to Leon?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suspect that Knight might ahve been Leon come to kill Titus
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah. That would make sense.
<DeathStar> *Andrea is in medical being hooked up as Cuddles studies her, frowning at what she is seeing*
<Xanatos> <Xan> We need to hold a ceremony to honor the Tsiv for the sacrifice made today.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I agree.
* ChadWinters` nods to Xan
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, doctor?"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> With this the war is truly over in my eyes. There is no major enemies left out there
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias sits in the medical bay, peering about as he get's checked over
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits with Terra in her lap**
<DeathStar> *X lets Jennifer examine Dias*
<Xanatos> <Xan> For now. Let's take the break and recover, we've took major losses over the past year.
<ChadWinters`> We shouldn't rest to easy, Lenneth. But for now, we have time to breath
<DeathStar> <X> When you attach his arm you can make it so he can't touch you know what
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Well Mr. President. What color is this? **she holds up a red square**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...Wait you guys have my arm?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Grey take out box.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Right, eye transplant it is.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *moves over* We both know that Andrea is a special... Dark One. *Referring to how she was made* It seems Titus took her scattered energy and recreated the procress to use her, but didn't care about how long she lived
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has his legs propper up in the corner of some PAX bar, smoking from some hookah-like device.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and that means what?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...unforgivable..."
<Seraphna> **Kaekan peeks out of Cuddles’ shadow**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Nah, I like my eyes just the way they are.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Her energy is all over the place. We need to find a way to fix her body and give her proper energy. Maybe even start the process over if need be.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus has broken away from Dias and the others to stand in front of Kat's business, staring for a few minutes before turning to walk back towards medical.
<DeathStar> *it seems Terra is running the bar these days. Rachael in there to get a drink, looking annoyed again*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I suppose I could do that with the arm. We also have the severed arm of a psychopath if you’d rather have that.
<Alicia> <Terra> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Mind is being a bitch again. Another drink
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How?"
<Seraphna> **Tabetha helps a lot, since the bar is obviously a hand short**
<Alicia> * Terra hands one over. "A lot happened, yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Give me time. I'll look into it. Bobbi might know more about homoncu---that stuff.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I'll try not to let you down. Don't worry, it's not like she'll collapse overnight.
<Seraphna> Kaelan > Homonculus.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm... right..." *ponders*
<DeathStar> <CuddleS> I was trying not to spill her secret
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Nah, I'll take own arm back. It's funny, I tried telling them it was just a normal arm but noooooo. They wanted to take it. It really only strengthened my resolve.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Let me know if there's anything I can do."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You know Rach, I've been thinking about all that mind stuff. What're we going to do about it? Surely the pax could alter your dna or somehting to stop it.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm. Need to go see a lady about a thing. **sneaks a clip of Andrea’s hair** Try not to take over the Galaxy.
<Xanatos> <Valen> But if you don't want that, I might have a solution...it's more dangerous than dna altering though.
<DeathStar> <RAchael> Waht's that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..in the meantime, I need to talk to Auntie. She offered to... tutor me."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Oh? Just...becareful.
<DeathStar> *She warns Noire*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Lucky."
<DeathStar> *Andrea touches her hair*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **slips into the shadows**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mother?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> The god that was in vesper. Uh..can't remember the name. BUT I think I have her essence or whatever. You'd share a body but she could repair that aspect of the mind. Seems risky but it's something.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. I believe Kaelan finding secret stuff. *She muses*
<Alicia> <Terra> "That's... a big deal, yeah."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts ehr glasses with irritation* "It does irritate me with her sneaking about."
<Seraphna> **Jennifer nods and takes scans**
<Xanatos> <Valen> I was going to mention it months ago but it's a cohabitation thing and well...just dangerous really.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll think on it. Vesper has been acting strange a little since being on the Dark Planet. I'd hate to start becoming a weirdo because of Dusk. But... *she seems tempted* I'll think on it
<Seraphna> Jennifer> We’ll get this done I guess.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Dusk or DNA altering!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pops out of the shadows and looks up at Rachael** Third option.
<Alicia> <Terra> "Cohabitation definitely isn't a thing to take lightly, but if you trust her..."
<DeathStar> <RAchael> *jerks*
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh, hi Kaelan."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Thanks for coming to my rescue, X."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan puts a collar at her feet** Try this. It suppresses powers. Maybe if you suppress your magic it’ll help.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> And hi Terra.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's a Famfrit thing, not a magic thing.
<DeathStar> <X> Anytime
<Seraphna> Kaelan> From what I understand she was feeling better yesterday. What was missing?
<DeathStar> *Rachal puts the collar on* How do I look, punk?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh...you might be onto something.
<Alicia> <Terra> "It doesn't look bad, but the more important part is how you feel."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You could rock a punk look sis.
<DeathStar> *Andrea pats Noire* Well, until we get the home fixed, I'll have moms move in with me
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It'll be like old times
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> To think I was hoping I'd be the one coming to your rescue like I promised.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles moves over, slapping gloves on* LEts get your arm on
<DeathStar> <X> Well, you can rescue me by resuming your Presidency - lots of weird things have been happening. V.6 is a hero now
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yes, arm and eyes let’s get to it.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Who?
<DeathStar> <X> That's Dias for you
<Seraphna> **Jen is clearly doing a Warren**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles wheels Dias along to surgery*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, good... i was worried they would try to bunk with me, but my place is where the club meets and that wopuld just get awkward... especially if they see that stripper pole..." *pauses when she realized she mentioned the stripper pole in front of he rmother*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess it's been a while, we'll have to catch him up. I'm only sorta understanding what's been happening.
<DeathStar> *Andrea tilts her head* If you need sexual stimulation that much Noire
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You just had to ask.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Weeeee!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It was Maddie's!"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Mmmmhm
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I won't judge... either of you."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Let me know if it helps. Off to see a lady about dark things.
<DeathStar> <X> Well, I guess if you trust Stacey then you can trust this 6
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slips into Valen’s shadow**
<DeathStar> *Andrea peers at Charlotte* Oh, you don't want to be part of my knowledge?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait. Vesper is acting weird!? Fuck I need to book this trip!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah?"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...Why do I feel like I'm going to have a lot of head aches when I get back to Earth.
<DeathStar> *Rachael watches her go* I Guess I can try this for now. *She blinks at Valen.* That's my bro.
<DeathStar> *Andrea wiggles eyebrows at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> -END-
