<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session567
<DeathStar> *The group returns with a bunch of babies and Kito moves to send the maids to secure rooms for them and take samples to make sure those are the adults; Fae is added to the barrier room to protect her*
<DeathStar> <Selena> If it is a deaging spell, that would make sense that perhaps a vampire would not be affected.
<DeathStar> *Ruhi keeps an eye on the babies while Cloé fiddles with her hands*
<DeathStar> *Neekito studies the giant crystal and technology connected to it*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Anything you recognize?"
<DeathStar> <Neekito> No, but while looking for Ellie I think I saw more of these things in the Dark Lands and I know they're not native to the place. Someone added these to the place recently
<DeathStar> <Selena> There's more of them in the Dark Lands..
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Maybe they're part of the spell."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Maybe some of us should go take a look
<DeathStar> <Selena> That would be going into enemy territory
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Parents there too. Have to give milk
<DeathStar> *she nods at Cherie*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Right... Nicolette, I take it that it would help to take a look at the crystal?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Anything we can figure out would be valuable."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Alright, I'd like to split us into two groups. I want to get outside help. I want to try to reach the PAX. Would some of you mind staying with me while the rest join Nicolette and Neekito in the Dark Lands?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I'll go to the Dark Lands.
<DeathStar> *Cloé holds onto Selena - avoiding going to the Dark Lands*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'll go to the Dark Lands too."
<Seraphna> **Nell muses** I should go to the Daemon lands.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I understand. *Neekito moves to the center of the room* Okay, hold onto me everyone
<DeathStar> *Seniga touches Neekito*
<Seraphna> **Nell moves over to touch**
<Seraphna> Terra> I do wonder if Momma Jaime and Momma Adeline okay.
<DeathStar> *Neekito begins to glow and warps out with her group*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, come with me then. I imagine you should be safe on the PAX
<DeathStar> <Soren> *makes a face*
<Seraphna> Terra> Soren come protect me? **seeing the face**
<DeathStar> <Soren> I need to be here to help with the other spirits. Just becareful.
<DeathStar> *Selena walks along the palace* Okay, here is what we need to do. We are having problems with jamming between worlds.
<DeathStar> *Cloé follows in her armor, carrying Cherie*
<DeathStar> *Selena reaches the Suisen teleportation system* Okay, Here we go. Cherie, Bella, stand on the pad.
<Sara> * Cherie moves onto it
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps on to the pad*
<DeathStar> *Cloé joins them as Selena goes into her spirit form* I'm going to try to get us up there. *She uses her spirit form and begins to charget the teleporter*
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *the group suddenly lands, rather roughly, in the middle of PAX's security - but it's rather empty*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Sits up, looking around* ....
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Ummmm...?"
<DeathStar> *Selena slowly exits the security with Cloé trotting along in her armor. Looking out the window, it looks like the PAX is drifting near Geyze*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Bridge." *nod nods*
<DeathStar> *As they walk along, they bump into Adeline with Jikuu and Victoire. Adeline is holding a redhaired baby*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .... *looks incredulous*
<Seraphna> **Terra blinks in confusion**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Ah, this is probably not the best time to ask for help."
<Seraphna> Terra> Momma Addy? Is that… Momma Jaime?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ah? *She looks at Terra* Ah, sweetie. This is ... Erevis. *She nods to the dark haired baby off to the side* Both leaders of the Empire are babies. Baaabies.
<DeathStar> *The dark haired baby seems to be Lenneth*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Bad guys on Geyze sued magic."
<Seraphna> Terra> Grammies and Auntie!?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Is that so
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, that is what happened."
<Seraphna> Terra> Where Momma?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I am seeing we are not going to get much help
<DeathStar> <Adeline> She is having some age issues. She will be here when she feels better. No doubt to play with Erevis. And coo at her
<DeathStar> *She motions at 1B*
<Seraphna> Terra> Ohhh… she must be growing herself up.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Something like that
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I take it you need some help to deal with the Daemons
<DeathStar> *She turns to Selena and Bella*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Need to grow momma up
<Alicia> <Victoire> "We'll do what we can, but we're..." <Jikuu> "A little busy."
<Seraphna> Terra> Yus. Everyone under… 21 years? Turned into babies and kidnapped by scary demons.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If the problem is down on the planet, we should sense forces down there and eradicate them all.
<Seraphna> Terra> Spell came from Daemon lands baddies that ruined Halloween.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You all wait here - we just need to ... sort some issues out up here.
<DeathStar> *Selena hrm's*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *nod nods*
<Sara> * Cherie blinks
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "As acting empress, my presence is likely essential, sadly."
<Seraphna> **Sephie floats by on Lenneth’s sky chair** I empress now.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "... well, alright then."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Is that whata coup looks like?"
<DeathStar> *ADeline turns to Jikuu and Vict* Finish figuring out our situation and if we can get the PAX moving. And try to get in touch with Earth. Then I'll send you both down to aid the group while I'll get the ship moving to help
<DeathStar> <Selena> I believe so
<DeathStar> *Adeline moves to put Erevis down and works on the ship, trying to get it to move again - it seems the PAX is being affected by the spell*
<Seraphna> **Jaime steps out looking younger than Adeline and picks up Erevis and Lenneth** Soooo cute.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I guess we'll do what we can up here. IF we can get help from the PAX we might can bring in an army to the Dark Lands
<DeathStar> *she sounds dubious now eyeing who is left in command*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Everyone in command silly
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Dark Lands
<DeathStar> *Neekito arrives near a Daemon outpost where a giant set of crystals have grown around the outpost, with stuff inside. It's almost like there's technology in and around the crystals*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ... *stares*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Are they... growing tech?"
<DeathStar> *The Daemons here also seem to be having the crest to protect them from deaging, perhaps*
<Seraphna> Nell> I feel like they’re using something that shouldn’t exist…
<DeathStar> <Neekito> But I never seen the Daemons use this tech before
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Where did this come from?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I don't recognize it... pretty sure it's foreign."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> *Turns to yurica* You recognize it from your travels, Captain Space Girl?
<DeathStar> *As they are staring, a strange "Daemon" walks along the fort's upper levels - looking to have pale skin and having strange pupils like slits. It walks around ordering the other Daemons*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... I'll try to go get a piece of the crystal
<Seraphna> **Nell pulls out two small circular razors, frowning and looking hesitant to even be holding them**
<DeathStar> *She begins to creep along the ground*
<DeathStar> *As Neekito reaches the crystals along one side of the fort and works on breaking it off, the pale daemon seems to pause, as if sensing somethng. It touches it's wrist, where a small crystal is on it's wrist and appears on the ground behind Neekito. As she begins to break off pieces, it begins to walk up behind her*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Ah, um...
<Seraphna> **Nell flings the razors, floating them towards the demon**
<DeathStar> *she looks at Yurica, then at Nell* That works I Guess
<Sara> * Yurica makes a huffy face
<DeathStar> *Nell laughs*
<Seraphna> **?**
<DeathStar> *Seniga even, softly*
<DeathStar> *The pale daemon watches a moment, then grabs Neekito from behind, making her drop a few of her crystals*
<Seraphna> **Nell brings the razors across the back of the Demon’s neck**
<DeathStar> <Daemon> .... *The razors seem to bend almost, turning to look for where it came from. This gives Neekito the chance to break free and grab the crystals.*
<DeathStar> *Rushing away. It turns back toward her and begins to follow*
<Seraphna> **Nell frowns and slams the metal at the Demon’s face and eyes**
<DeathStar> *That seems to do the trick - hitting the eyes. It staggers back*
<DeathStar> *making a noise and then begins to warp forward*
<DeathStar> *Right for the kids*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Scatter!
<Seraphna> **Nell has the metal keep following and slamming like angry bees**
<Seraphna> **Nell moves away as she does**
<DeathStar> *it taps it's wrist and the crystal pulses the metal away, slamming it into the ground*
<DeathStar> *even as it appears in front of Nell and using what crystal remains to shape the fortress, aiming guns to fire at her*
<Sara> * Cherie scatters
<Alicia> * Sparkling moves away, firing back at the guns
<DeathStar> *Neekito puts their goods away while Seniga has taken cover. Sparkling manages to destroy some of the bases guns for Nell*
<Seraphna> Nell> **Spins and lashes claws at the woman and pulls her in the way of the blasts as she tigers out**
<Seraphna> **Whatever it identifies as**
<DeathStar> *the daemon looks mildly annoyed and punches into the ground, lifting up a massive pieces of the land, it's hand glowing and moves to just crush Nell, repeatedly smashing about to get the tiger*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> We need to escape.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> All I Got is a map
<Seraphna> **She growls in pain but then glows and uses the very same rocks to hit back, someone is pacted to an Earth Spirit**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Map is good!"
<DeathStar> *The creature's "clothing" is ripped up enough to reveal crystals in it's body. It begins to march after Nell like the a terminator*
<DeathStar> *Seniga unwraps it and eyes the locations and just taps a spot, everyone finding themselves next to a river*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Where...are we?
<Seraphna> Nell> I know what you are… you shouldn’t exist anymore!
<Seraphna> **Nell blinks and looks around**
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What was it?"
<Seraphna> Nell> They we’re… in the other future.
<DeathStar> *Neekito sits up, handing the crystals to Nicolette*
<Seraphna> Nell> They stoke our parents before too!
<DeathStar> <Seniga> That place with the adult us?
<Seraphna> **Nell nods** Remember they had crystal in them and used Crystal tech!
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Why are they here?"
<Seraphna> Nell> Maybe… those other realities?
<Seraphna> Nell> Maybe in one they survived.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We should tell Selena... oh wait. She's too far to reach
<DeathStar> *She turns to Nicolette, considering her the adult*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Don't worry, We'll think of something.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> We just need to make a counter to their tech
<Seraphna> **Nell goes more human like and starts shaping some weapons with her metals**
<DeathStar> *suddenly one of their crystals begin to glow and talk*
<Seraphna> Nell> I know how to kill them at least. Pierce the gem center.
<Seraphna> Nell> Is…. That crystal talking?
<Alicia> * Sparkling listens
<DeathStar> <????> Surrender children and spirit. Come to the capital. *it sounds female, perhaps, but distorted.* We have your parents. And your spirit friends. If you wish them no harm, cease your activities and come.
<Seraphna> Nell> Well isn’t this Deja Vu.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ?
<Seraphna> Nell> They did this with our adults selves.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Oh right.
<Sara> <Yurica> Blackmail? How unrepetently evil.
<DeathStar> <????> To show that we mean it, we will demonstrate our reach. We will take the princess and the spirits in the castle
<DeathStar> *the crystal stops glowing*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> UH, that does not sound good.
<Seraphna> Nell> We should get back to the castle.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "The map! Quick!"
<DeathStar> *Seniga opens it up and touches the castle; the group lands in the castle where they watch Kito fly back Luna and Soren and Fae are buzzing about two of these crystal daemons*
<DeathStar> *They seem to be trying to grab Luna up and walk out with her, Ashley style, and another one is trying to mist the spirits to pick them up*
<DeathStar> <Soren> *hits them with holy energy and Fae with wind*
<Seraphna> **Nell immediately leaps at one and aims her metal spear shaped from crystal puncture at one’s core, eyes glowing as she dragons out**
<Alicia> * Sparkling fires her beam at one of the ones going for Luna
<Seraphna> *from = for
<DeathStar> *The one jerks, jerking; Soren and Fae joining in so Luna can get free*
<DeathStar> *Kito sits up, groggy*
<Seraphna> **Nell plants her feet on the floor and pushes in more**
<DeathStar> *Seniga throws chairs at the one Nell is beating up*
<DeathStar> *it grabs Nell with crystal powers even as it's being beat up, parts breaking and tries to crush her*
<DeathStar> *Neekito slams her magic into it so Nell isn't hurt*
<Ariel> * Nicolette waits patiently and carefully aims her shot before lobbing a bolt of energy at the demon on Nell
<Seraphna> **Nell glares and let’s go of the spear, as it starts bending and reshaping inside the Demon**
<DeathStar> *Nicolette's attack spasms it*
<DeathStar> *Then it shatters into more pieces for Nicolette*
<DeathStar> *The remaining one grabs Soren and Fae and runs for the balcony*
<DeathStar> *making crystal shields*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Hey!
<Seraphna> **Nell holds out a hand and every nearby suit of armor goes in for a tackle**
<DeathStar> *that shatters the shields*
<DeathStar> *Seniga throws chairs*
<Seraphna> **She directs one to grab the spirits while the others pile in the demon**
<DeathStar> *it breaks the chairs and shields while standing on the edge of the balcony, sending something at Nell while Soren holy blasts the daemon and it topples over, disoriented*
<DeathStar> *Seniga eeps and looks over the edge*
<Seraphna> **Nell rolls to one side and keeps the suits after it**
<DeathStar> *sometihing grabs the suits - but what?*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Pull it up Nell
<Seraphna> **Nell pulls up**
<DeathStar> *Fae and Soren are holding on*
<DeathStar> <Soren> WHAT was that all about?
<DeathStar> *Kito eyes the mess done to the place*
<Seraphna> Nell> Demons trying to scare us into a surrender.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Those are no demons I've ever seen before
<Seraphna> **Nell floats them to safety then inspects the shattered one**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Some sort of hybrid?"
<DeathStar> *the shattered one seems to have left behind living crystals almost - as if the crystals intregrated with the living being*
<Seraphna> Nell> No… something else. The invaders that our parents stopped ages ago.
<DeathStar> *The crystals are much smaller than the giant ones, to fit in their body*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Those guys?
<Seraphna> **Nell focuses and slowly begins floating one up, then groans a little as she starts deconstructing the silicate base one one piece**
<Seraphna> Nell> People don’t know this but most gems and crystals are really just inferior metals that look pretty.
<Seraphna> Nell> Our computers are made with some of the most conductive, Silicon.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Silicon is a metal?"
<DeathStar> *Neekito looks at Neekito, shrugging*
<Seraphna> Nell> Yep. In the most basic sense. Just not one good for forging. Gold is a metal too and it’s practically clay.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I don't know if this is the C'en - that is who we'r talking about right - or someone else
<DeathStar> <Neekito> But I need to know if we can use these crystals to find the enemy
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It's a... metal like."
<Seraphna> Nell> It’s something like them. And they use the same tactics but cruder.
<Seraphna> Nell> Maybe they are what eventually become the C’en?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Maybe. I'll work with Nicolette and try to figure out these crytals. ... you can help us Nell. If these tap into the communications of the C'en wannabes, then maybe we can find Ellie and the rest
<DeathStar> <Neekito> You up to it, Nico?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> They've out right admitted they have the Dark Spirits and are using them
<DeathStar> <Soren> .. *looks pissed*
<Seraphna> Nell> But yes. This silicate is unique. I think we can assess it atomically. But the PAX would know better. I just have the science books Mom gets me.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Willing to try."
<DeathStar> <Soren> I'd like to try to check out the Dark Lands and see what they are doing to the Spirits
<Seraphna> Nell> I have a sense of the structure now so I might even be able to lift and bend them.
<DeathStar> <Soren> I'll be back soon
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<Seraphna> Nell> See, I fear ents. They are strong against metal and lack the most minerals. These guys are practically m my toys if I can understand it better.
<DeathStar> *Baby Lenneth and Erevis are in cribs overlooking their work as Adeline has been trying to get the ship to move closer to Geyze* It is like we've been completely locked in place even though we're on
<DeathStar> *baby Erevis whaps on baby Xanatos*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe this has more to do with time than we expected if it’s holding us still in space.
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives Erevis a stuffed cat**
<DeathStar> *Erevis snatches it and holds on*
<DeathStar> *The doors open and Isis and Shion walk in. ISis jerks and runs over as Erevis begins to try to eat the cat, having been holding two white haired babies* <Isis> No no no mom, no eating the cat
<DeathStar> <Shion> *Chortles*
<Alicia> * Kyouki assists with taking care of the kids, being a spirit
<DeathStar> *one white haired baby is zen while the other is grumpy*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait, *She eyes Shion and Isis* Aren't you both a little old?
<Seraphna> Jaime> They have Kitsune pearls.
<DeathStar> <Isis> IT must be protection. <Selena> I am beginning to see more and more holes in this spell
<Jackieness> <Bella> *is in a corner, practicing kicks*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We have a problem
<DeathStar> *she speaks up*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Another?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> The people behind the casting didn’t account for non-Geyze species.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And yet, progenitors are affected."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> A ship is approaching from the Dark Lands, but it is not a Daemon ship. I been searching on files and I believe it might be a.... Uminite Ship
<Seraphna> Jaime> Their bodies are human.
<Seraphna> Jaime> A what?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I still need time to get the PAX moving down to the Dark Lands.
<Alicia> * Jikuu and Victoire look over at each other, to see if the other knows what an Uminite is
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's a term I drew from Geyze records. It's an alternate future race.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But it might be from another reality since they were destroyed
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They despise spirits - and with spirits nearly dead...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Great. So this is a time thing. We better get Taiga.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wouldn't she become a baby too?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> She and Si were aged to 17.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It depends on if Asteroid C got hit
<DeathStar> <Adeline> True
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll try to reach her.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Here, I know a way to distract them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They both have Kitsune pearls too.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Go to the hanger - Selena and her group, Jikuu and Vict
<Alicia> * Victoire nods, heading off with Jikuu following. "On it!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll launch you at the Daemon Realm. Along the way, engage them and get them to turn back. I'll continue to repair the PAX and we'll follow shortly afterward. If you learn where they're hold up, we'll rescue everyone for you
<DeathStar> *Selena nods* Come on everoyne
<Jackieness> <Bella> *heads out with Selena*
<DeathStar> *Cloe gets in her armor and clanks after*
<Sara> <Cherie> So noisy *she mumbles*
<DeathStar> <Cloe> S-Sorry.
<DeathStar> *hangs head - including the armor, and runs into a wall*
<Seraphna> Terra> **waves arms** Terra save Geyze!
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<DeathStar> *baby Erevis waves hands* Goo!
<DeathStar> *cheering them on*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "So cute."
<DeathStar> *Erevis gurgles happily*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’d be that way too but my own DNA lets me control my age.
<DeathStar> *The battle shuttle is unlocked as they get in it. Jikuu is taught how to fly it with a headset*
<DeathStar> <Selena> C-Can you do this?
<DeathStar> *To Jikuu*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Should we be stopping Terra, love?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Just do not expect expert piloting."
<Jackieness> <Bella> *watches everything Jikuu does, concentrating*
<DeathStar> **the shuttle takes off and approaches the enemy ship*
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> Give them a few good shots and then book it for the Daemon Lands
<DeathStar> <Adeline to Jaime> I'm attempting to get in touch with ASteroid C. We'll manage it soon
<Alicia> * Jikuu flies competently enough, firing off a few shots at the enemy ship, before heading for her destination at full speed
<Jackieness> <Bella> *just gives a nod*
<DeathStar> *The enemy turns and begins to give chase, scanning and seeing who is on it. And so the chase is on next week*
<DeathStar> -TBC-
* Jackieness has quit IRC
* Sara has left #TAW-Session567
* Ariel has left #TAW-Session567 (Leaving)
