<DeathStar> Location: Earth; Repliforce
<DeathStar> *Cran sits in a meeting with some of his top leaders - such as Cole. They are watching recordings of what looks to be another reality - how Cran got it, he doesn't state it, but it looks like it has two twins that look like they are the children of Wind and a Cole that has been massively repaired - his head attached to a reploid body that is clearly not his own and some other images indicating this reality's reploid tech has advanced massively beyond their own as the reploids look almost human*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> That tech looks almost like what I've been researching.
<DeathStar> *She takes notes*
<Xanatos> <Cole> What've they done to that other me?
<Seraphna> Angel> Seems spot on. No idea his reality would leap that quick.
<DeathStar> <Blue> IT looks like it's a copy of the reality we're from, but it looks weird.
<DeathStar> <Cran> From what I can tell, they used your body to make another reality and when the tech got better, attached your head to an upgraded reploid body,.
<DeathStar> *nother reploid
<Seraphna> Angel> Would that leap make sense in 30 years?
<Xanatos> <Cole> I don't know, Reploid tech is complicated, but a lot can change in a little bit of time, it would just take a breakthrough.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I would love to get my hand on the tech for everyone here. If they're making it so Reploid and human are practically the same.
<DeathStar> <Blue> I'll believe it when I see it
<Seraphna> Angel> We could ask. I’m sure Allouette would like it to compare too.
<Xanatos> <Cole> You think getting us closer to human would improve our rights?
<Seraphna> Angel> Worked for Dragoons, Weapons, Atleans, and every other near human.
<DeathStar> <Cran> It'd be nice. Dragoons have all the rights in the world. *He props his head up, studying files* But hopefully, even without the technology, with Repliforce taking charge like we are now - we're getting recognized. It should be only a matter of time.
<Xanatos> <Cole> That much closer to being able to freely buy my dream volcano fortress.
<DeathStar> *Cran taps the air and brings up a screen* Lets go over the daily threats. After the incident that struck Geyze, Earth, and the PAX and took out the majority of the heroes. We need to be on alert of any possible threat.
<Seraphna> Angel> Sky fortresses are where it’s at.
<Seraphna> **Angel frowns**
<DeathStar> <Alouette> At least it was resolved.
<DeathStar> <Cran> This time.
<Seraphna> Angel> Still gives me chills.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Should we increase patrols and scans?
<DeathStar> <Cran> We can't do much about threats from places that we don't have permission to patrol. Though I've heard down the grapevine people are getting tired of being affected by enemies of the PAX and Geyze.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Who can blame them.
<Seraphna> **Angel snickers** As if those threat’s don’t go after everyone else too.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Well, I got a report.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole glances at Blue
<DeathStar> <Blue> I been hearing on the streets a lot of Nazi activity - and not the skinhead type, like people dressed in the old fashioned way, believing in the old fashion views. Granted being this far ahead in the future, when I followed up on the sightings, I was getting conflicted reports in some cases
<DeathStar> <Blue> But where Cole and I'm from...
<Seraphna> Angel> Donald Trump came back again? I thought we killed his ghost 25 years ago.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Who?
<Seraphna> Angel> Fat guy from an earlier earth time. Tried to take over a country with Nazis.
<DeathStar> <Blue> ... Yeah. Okay. Try actual took over the world with the Fourth Reich and come back to talk to me
<DeathStar> *Blue turns to Cran*
<Seraphna> **Angel raises a brow and starts looking it up**
<Xanatos> <Cole> The Reich were a pretty major issue, took a lot of time to unravel all of that.
<Xanatos> <Cole> You're hearing about it here?
<DeathStar> <Blue> I don't know if it's a chance they're from our world or it's just a fad and they're reusing a name from hundreds of years in this reality.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Did we ever talk to Lunar Girl?
<Seraphna> Angel> I’m a clone of Angela that spent the first 40 years of her life in a tube. We only got the Evil Cran network.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Find our if we were from the same place?
<DeathStar> *Cran clears throat*
<Seraphna> Angel> Sorry, *Good* Cran, go on.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I haven't talked to Lunar Girl, at least.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Same.
<Seraphna> Angel> I’m sure we could get in contact with her.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Alright, so we either have reality crossing Nazis or a group that likes their agenda.
<DeathStar> <Cran> We should look into it either way.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Guess we would need to figure out how they even were able to get information on their agenda.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Right. I'll get a squad together.
<Seraphna> Angel> 10 credits these dudes have pamphlets.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hit the streets, see what you can learn. These days, most of what is on them is in history books from that time period.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> *Lemon sets down a cake*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I should send this to X.
<Seraphna> Angela> It her birthday already?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes it is. <Cheryl> She's just cooking because she's bored.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl eats some pie that Lemon has made*
<Seraphna> Angela> Boring is good sometimes.
<Seraphna> Angela> It indicates a lack of inter dimensional war.
<DeathStar> *Zayne takes a slice of pie and gives it to Sunny*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane starts eating some of the food lemon has made.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hm, what else should I make?
<Seraphna> Angela> Beef.
<Xanatos> <Kane> You need to make more?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, I guess I Can make beef....
<Seraphna> Angela> And bacon.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Are you alright? 6* He looks at Lemon, tilting his head.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *Goes to prepare the meats* Well, with Cran doing so many jobs lately it feels like our unit has become forgotten.
<DeathStar> *Zayne does the airplane with Sunny, despite her being 3*
<Seraphna> Angela> Clearly we need a vacation from our vacation.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Huh...I guess I didn't notice.
<DeathStar> *As Lemon sets down some bacon and eggs, their paraimeter alarm goes off*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great, who jinxed us?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to pull up camera footage.
<DeathStar> *Emeralda leans over a chair*
<DeathStar> *it shows a trench coat wearing figure with a gun, moving around and avoiding the yard's traps, being chased by a lot of figures, firing after them. Many of them stepping on the traps and being blown up or trapped in cages*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be intent on killing the trench coat wearing one*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Someone is messing up my yard.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... hm
<Seraphna> Angela> Whoever they are they even knew about the Sumflower lasers.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Zoom in on the face if you can
<DeathStar> *she has dismissed those chasing, since they are getting demolished on the traps*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and tries to do so.
<Seraphna> Angela> And there go the tulip cannons. Chii set this up didn’t she?
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a heavily wounded Warren; who turns and eyes something in the distance, wincing*
<DeathStar> *Chii narrows her eyes, mouth full of cake*
<DeathStar> <Chii> Moutfh ougu
<Seraphna> Angela> Huh, it’s Warren?
<DeathStar> *suddenly a massive beam flies and hits him, sending him flying rag dolled into the front door; a thud is heard*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That's not good.
<Seraphna> Angela> I’ll get him.
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves for the front, then stops*
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...why didn't he use the teleporter? 6* He rises to his feet and moves to grab pistol.
<Seraphna> **Angela moves for the door, armor forming as Montana lands in front of the doorway and forms a shield**
<DeathStar> *Montana is hit by something and part of it and blows off*
<DeathStar> *Emeralda zooms to the front door, impatient and opens it*
<DeathStar> *eyeing what looks to be a friggin' tank*
<DeathStar> <Emeralda> ... damn
<Seraphna> **Angela hurries to pull Warren in**
<DeathStar> *Warren groans, bleeding out and pieces of paper coming out of his coat
<DeathStar> <Zayne> That does not look.
<Seraphna> **Montana opens its chest and fires a middle at the tank**
<DeathStar> *the tank shields and fires back*
<Seraphna> **Angela starts healing Warren**
<DeathStar> *blowing more of Montana off*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peeks out, squints at the tank and pull himself back in, he kneel by Warren and injects him with a stabilizer while Angela works on healing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *Grunts*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane takes the paper and glances at it.
<Seraphna> **Montana is a sad panda, but keeps it up, more betas moving in from orbit**
<DeathStar> *it seems to be notes of a spear, the name Senreich, and locations all around the globe*
<DeathStar> *Montana takes down the shield and it fires bck*
<DeathStar> *blowing out more of Montana, leavng just a tiny bit working*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Find anything?
<Seraphna> Angela> There can’t be a Spear of Longinus here can there be? **eyes the papers as she heals Warren**
<Xanatos> <Kane> Well we have locations to check at any rate.
<DeathStar> <Emeralda> A what?
<Seraphna> **The two falling Betas fire down at the tank**
<DeathStar> *The tank explodes and the remaining Nazis seem to have retreated from their operation*
<Seraphna> Angela> Spear that pierced Christ’s lung. Supposed to make you immortal.
<DeathStar> *Warren seems to have stablized, remaining unconscious*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I count three locations
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up hid datapad and begins to search for anything he can find on a Senreich.
<Seraphna> Angela> Senreich is supposed to be dead. My counterpart in Wind’s reality killed him.
<DeathStar> *Kane comes back with a lot of hits on a Senreich - most seem to have no prior records and are doing boring jobs. Unless he wants to dig deeper*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I recall that
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He really was a pain wasn't he
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He took over the world over there,.
<Seraphna> Angela> He killed your counterpart.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *pauses*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kane do a search under Wind's reality
<Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and then does so to narrow it down.
<Seraphna> Angela> If I remember right Seraphna reacted to that by forcing a grenade down his throat and setting it off.
<DeathStar> *senreich was a Nazi general that worshipped Hitler's ideals and tried to bring back the Reich*
<DeathStar> *But was destroyed in the Classic Reality*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Then this cannot be the same Senreich
<Xanatos> <Kane> We may have to wait for Warren to regain conciousness.
<Seraphna> Angela> If we’re forming realities, Wind’s reality might be too?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Eyes the map* Hm, there seems to be three locations
<Seraphna> Angela> Or we finally got our own. Bleh.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How do you want to approach this while Warren sleeps
<Seraphna> Angela> Bases or Spear locations?
<DeathStar> *The three locations seem to include a location in the mountains, one that seems to be at the sea - the middle of the sea, and one at the artic*
<Xanatos> <Kane> We could start scouting those out.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We'll need to bring more people in I would think.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I will contact Chris. *Zayne wiggles Sunny*
<Seraphna> Angela> Eluere still tapped into Satellites?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Eluere? *Blinks at that*
<Seraphna> Angela> Curali’s twin? Married that good boy Steel son?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> She retired ages ago. Do you mean Necia?
<Seraphna> Angela> I guess! Damn kids keep getting old on me.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I can access satellite feeds, it'll just take some time. If you believe we should seek more help then you could do that while I do this.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I will see about finding Necia. These days I believe she likes to to hack the holonet.
<DeathStar> *Lemon goes downstairs to find Vesta*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You know who we will need to bring in if we want to get enough teams.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. Them.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I am not following this conversation.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We need Cran's people if we want to cover all three bases.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We're too few.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Absolutely not
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah.
<Xanatos> <Kane> If we stretch ourselves to thin and things get worse...it'll be all but curtains for this unit.
<Seraphna> Angela> Well they have Angel and Allouette to keep them honest.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. <Lemon> Then let us prepare.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Repliforce Aircraft
<DeathStar> *After a bit, everyone has been gathered in a craft with a bird like shape to it, flying in the air. CAssandra ARakwa has been brought on, Christina, John, etc*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leans against the wall, scowling*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Now explain this again."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha bounces**
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Nazis.
<Xanatos> <Cole> From another reality.
<DeathStar> <Cran> And they got a drop on Warren, hm
<ChadWinters> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ear while he squats.
<Seraphna> Angela> With Tanks.
<DeathStar> *John stretches out*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Mine and Blue's reality....where some of our allies supposedly wiped them out.
<ChadWinters> <Id> And we're sure they're from another branch?
<Seraphna> Angela> I had to unpack Montana Mk. 345.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Well, if they followed us here.... *Shrugs* Then they've been here for years
<Xanatos> <Kane> They may not literally be from that branch, but their ideology seems to be.
<Seraphna> Angela> …He sure does die a lot.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Actually
<ChadWinters> <Id> Regardless. It doesn't bode well if others have learned to jump between branches.
<DeathStar> *she looks at Cole* I don't think Senreich ever was defeated where we came from
<Seraphna> Angela> You sure? The Wind reality we went to he got blown up in.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Wait was he not?
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pulls his finger from his ear. 1"We just have to punch them over and over til they give up, right?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Right...have you contacted Dias? Having an invading saubversive organiation running around earth is something that needs to get EarthGov to alert."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Now that you mention it, I wasn't there so I'm not sure if he was or not.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *Turns to Dias*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You heard her, Dias.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leans over a bit and waves at Cass. 1"That's why I'm here. Plus I earned a reward for working so hard lately.
<Seraphna> Angela> My classic counterpart killed a lot of baddies back then come to think of it. She shot Sigma in the head over tea.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Oh, there he is... and what was your award?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Apparently this guy likes to kill Cheryls too. So joy
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I get to punch someone that's not a senator.
<Seraphna> Angela> No death for you, Missy.
<DeathStar> *Chii hisses*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Don't worry, Cheryl. Chii won't let ya die.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...that's how you build consensus?"
<DeathStar> <Cran> Alright, we have three locations. *he brings it up on the map*
<DeathStar> <Cran> Who wants to tackle the mountains?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I mean, none of them trash talk me to my face because they know I can make them hit themselves.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I have some basic satellite images. 6* he throws them up by Cran's map but it's not very zoomed in so detail is light.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ....Mountains...Eh. I've already fought against one.
<DeathStar> *Necia, using the holonet, helps zoom in on the mountain range - it seems to be some nazis digging up something*
<DeathStar> *but no sign of Senreich*
<DeathStar> <John> I'll take this.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Kick butt time?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Well that's certainly a better level of detail than what I was... 6* He trails off mumbling to himself.
<DeathStar> *John nods to Tabetha and Gears up, flying off*
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's because you show restraint in your methods, Kane.
<DeathStar> <Cran> The second location is this.
<DeathStar> *he shows the ocean; Necia helps zoom in on an ocean rig*
<DeathStar> *That the Nazis have taken over*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I doubt they're after the rig itself. So I imagine it would need to be something below it
<Seraphna> Angel> Maybe Repliforce should take this one. Our guys don’t drown.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I agree.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Correct. *Another person late to the party joins them, strapping on her armor and bouncing in place*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Infact, this one might be the one that could be the best choice if they're looking for something we have never discovered.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Fighting in a place where I have to restrain myself in fear of destroying my surroundings. I'm in. 6He stands up, stretching a bit.
<Seraphna> Angel> Maybe a Nazi shipwreck?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Ah Aya, I did not know you were coming to help on this.
<DeathStar> <Blue> You do know
<DeathStar> <Blue> If we get knocked off the side.
<DeathStar> <Blue> That's a long way down
<Seraphna> Angel> I can retrieve you.
<Xanatos> <Cole> What's the next location?
<DeathStar> <Aya> The artic. *She shows it* Some Nazi machine has been set up there; I have not determined what it is doing yet.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh maybe we should go there instead.
<Seraphna> Angela> Weather machine, probably. They’re always weather machines.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Water or ice...such great options.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Still a good chance you could sink to the bottom of the ocean.
<DeathStar> <Blue> And being cold while doing it
<ChadWinters> <Id> That would be a good area for me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll go with Lemon to the oil rig
<Xanatos> <Cole> Alright Ice for the reploid, let's get going.
<Seraphna> Angela> That means me and Chii are following you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on. *Chii jerks and moves off* <Cheryl> *She scans CAssandra and Christina, Blue and Cole* Anyone else?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *checks her guns*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps forward to move with Lemon.
<Seraphna> Angel> I’d pack for the cold but I’m comfy in absolute zero.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stands by Cheryl
<DeathStar> *Aya touches Angela briefly then movest to join the artic crew*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright everyone. Good luck!
<DeathStar> -Location: Oil Rig
<DeathStar> *Cheryl and Chii fly the team in toward the rig with their dragon form.*
<DeathStar> *X balances on the head of the dragon, holding her ripple blades; the Nazi guards peering out into the waters as he looks up at the flying dragon mech and aims his guns to sound the alarm*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stands upon the majestic dragon steed, his arms crossed.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I sense trouble. X. 6He pulls his hand back to throw a punch.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *pulls out one of her less destructive guns and tries to snipe the guard*
<DeathStar> *Cass does it!*
<DeathStar> *The guard gurgles and falls into the water*
<DeathStar> *As they land and the two transform, Cheryl naked and Chii holding out spare clothing*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ...Curses.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl slowly dresses while X shakes her head*
<Seraphna> Angela> When did we start the naked thing again?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Save your fist of justice for the level boss."
<ChadWinters> 6Dias then goes tumbling not expecting that and slides across the surface a few feet
<DeathStar> *Dias slides right up to a guard
<DeathStar> *Who aims at Dias with a plasma mini gun*
<DeathStar> *it begins to rev up*
<DeathStar> *2
<DeathStar> *1*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias plants his hands and flips upfwards,swinging his feert into the guys head
<DeathStar> *the guard goes down, the gun flying into the air*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias flips on to his feet an reaches to grab the mini gun.
<ChadWinters> *catch*
<DeathStar> <X> Show off
<DeathStar> *as he catches it*
<DeathStar> *Lemon walks along in a tactical suit, studying the platforms; guards protecting the entrance inside*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Restaint. 6He holds the mini gun out to Cass. 1"A new toy for ya."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *lifts Angela up* I'll show restraint
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *takes the gun* "Thank you, Mr. President."
<DeathStar> *She throws Angela at high speeds across the way at the guard in front of the door*
<DeathStar> <Chii> Jesus!
<ChadWinters> <Dias> That's quite the speedball special.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias holds his hand above his eyes to watch
<DeathStar> <X> I think she's just annoyed at the naked comment
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Someone was naked?
<DeathStar> *Lemon winces as Angela slams ino the guard and the two tumble over*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah, that works.
<DeathStar> *The guard tries to sit up and grab his gun*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "What were you expecting her to do?"
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Sneak punch combo? 6He looks at X.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane throws one of his discs at the guard, on contact it would shock him.
<Seraphna> **Angela slashes at him**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anything. *Chii leaps onto a railing and dive bombs the guard as Kane shocks him and Angela slashes him*
<DeathStar> *The guard whimpers on the ground*
<DeathStar> <X> ...that seems overkill
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pouts again, slumping his shoulders.
<Seraphna> Angela> <Owwww, by the way.>
<Seraphna> **Angela stands and peers around from her vantage point**
<DeathStar> *Lemon tries the door and opens it, revealing 5 Nazis sitting around a table playing cards. They look up at the group*
<DeathStar> *Then begin to reach for their weapons*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *steps forward with the plasma minigun and opens fire*
<DeathStar> *Lemon ducks*
<Seraphna> **Angela ducks**
<DeathStar> *As Cassandra takes them out*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ....I'm losing my urge to show restraint....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I Think they know we're here.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Are their any civilians here?
<Seraphna> Angela> Well all according to my plan at least.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The oil rig crew is likely captured somewhere.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> OR dead
<DeathStar> *As they step into the central part of the rig they see several rooms and stairs leading downward*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias seems to give off a very dangerous aura briefly then it drops. 1"...Well now we need to approach this differently.
<Seraphna> Angela> If it really is Senreich they’re dead.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why do you say that?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances for a console to connect too.
<Seraphna> Angela> He’s not our normal kind of enemy.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ....My feeling is they're alive. Hostages. 6He takes a deep breathe and a warmth is suddenly felt coming from him then spread outwards.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That's not reassuring. *Kane would need to search the upper deck rooms for a console - which would mean that he might run into a nazi. Or he can head downstairs deeper into the oil rig*
<Seraphna> Angela> Senreich left his humanity at the door, what I remember of him was a walking corpse.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "You also said you remember him swallowing a grenade."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should have asked Taiga questions - she dealt with him if I recall
<Seraphna> Angela> Hey, me and my counterparts get touchy about those we love getting killed.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> There's a few people above us that are...eager. And a fair amount below us. They're...more intense as if exercising.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Stay on comms. *He tells Lemon and then moves off and upward to find a console.*
<DeathStar> *X goes with Kane - never let the nerd go alone*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> X, be ready for an ambush.
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods* Alright everyone, we need to stop this mining operation. *She heads downstairs*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *heads after Lemon*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And I'll be waiting for you when rejoin us. 6He moves go with Lemon
<DeathStar> *X salutes and walks with Kane. As the two walk along toward the main bridge of the rig, a shadow can be seen hiding around the corner to ambush X and Kane*
<DeathStar> <X> ... sad
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and glances at her then pulls out a disc and slides it along the floor, it's a flash grenade of sorts.
<DeathStar> *As for the others, they would see that the Nazis have made modifications down here to not drill for oil or anything of the sort, but are using the rig to bring stuff up - looking for something. However for a group that seems to be looking for something, they don't seem to be overly focused on the machines right now, letting it run on automatic*
<DeathStar> *The Nazi curses and X ripples and takes him out, then clears a path for Kane*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane collects the used disc, waste-not. He nods to X and continues along to look for that console.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ....they don't seem to be in a panic. So...we can still surprise them.
<DeathStar> *Kane soon finds the console and X stands by*
<DeathStar> *As Dias says that, Nazis round the corner and plasma blasts fo flying at the team*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Down
<DeathStar> *She falls down the stairs and lays flat*
<DeathStar> *Lemon flails and falls*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eeks and grabs a railing, flipping over it and hanging on it to dodge.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves for cover*
<Seraphna> **Angela crouches and forms a holy shield**
<DeathStar> *The blasts making holes in the walls, melting and wrecking the place*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane saddles up to the console and begins to get to work to get access, using the Master Hack ability to overcome an OG game to get into it.
<DeathStar> *and one tosses a grenade of sorts over by Chii*
<DeathStar> <Chii> ..., bitch
<DeathStar> *Kane hacks the rig*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *then charges back up the stairs, and fires the plasma minigun at the attacking group*
<DeathStar> *The area seems to have a lot of machinary to hide behind at least*
<Seraphna> Angela> Throw it back!?
<DeathStar> *Chii uses her tai land whips it beside some machinary, blowing it up and rocking the rig*
<DeathStar> *while CAssandra fires and takes out a few of the Nazis without hitting the machines*
<Xanatos> <Kane> I am...in. Looking for camera feeds, information, etc. 6* He says to X as he begins to do that.
<DeathStar> *Things getting quiet outside the rig making noises now*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias swings a bit and lands back on top. "Nope. I'm still gonna show restraint. 6He looks around then closes his eyes, listening
<DeathStar> *Kane finds the cameras of the team fighting and more Nazis retreating down to boats*
<Seraphna> Angela> Is it just me or are they a bigger threat to their operation than we are?
<Xanatos> <Kane> *c* They're retreating to boats.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Ominous voice. Tell me which way.
<Xanatos> <Kane> *c* Out of that room and then downward.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias nods and sprints that direction
<DeathStar> *Dias trips over something and falls flat*
<DeathStar> *A chunk sound heard*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias slams hard.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not good.
<DeathStar> *more chunk sounds are heard all around*
<Seraphna> Angela> Doesn’t he fall over all the… oh yeah that’s supports popping.
<DeathStar> *on the camera Kane would see what looks like explosives begin lit all around the rig*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> .....Something says boom boom. 6He flips up and peers around.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...of course...the cliche self-destruct."
<Xanatos> <Kane> *c* They're going to blow this place up. We need to stop it or get out!
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "any sign of the oil rig crew?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll try to find out
<DeathStar> *She begins to look from room to room*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I couldn't sense any. But...if they're ko'd.
<Xanatos> <Kane> *c* I'm looking, but not seeing anything yet.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias peers over at waht he tripped on
<Seraphna> Angela> I’d say EMP but that’s gonna suck.
<DeathStar> *Even as the oil rig begins to shake and fires begin to break out*
<DeathStar> *It seems to have been a trip wire of sorts*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Start clearing an evac path."
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session571
<DeathStar> *Kane would soon find in one room a lot of bodies*
<DeathStar> *Even as the camera cut off from an explosion*
<Xanatos> <Kane> ....I found them, room 21B. All bodies.
<Xanatos> (comm)
<DeathStar> <Chii> We should get going. *She rolls as the oil rig tilts more*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias slides a bit from it. 1"X can you ripple there?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Right...pull out." *heads back to the top*
<DeathStar> <X> One moment. *She ripples down to Dias*
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns and raises her hands, and Betas begin to move in and start clearing the way** Yes, let’s move.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Hi!
<DeathStar> <X> Yes?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> 21B can you get us there and then out?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl goes to look for Lemon*
<Seraphna> **Angela pings here for Cheryl**
<DeathStar> <X> Why the detour? You want to recover the bodies for a reason?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane starts making his way out of the room and toward the railing.
<Seraphna> * her
<ChadWinters> <Dias> They were dead?
<DeathStar> *X opens another ripple*
<DeathStar> <X> Go look
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pokes his head through.
<DeathStar> *They seem to have been shot*
<Seraphna> Angela> Told you.
<DeathStar> *for those who have made it to the top, the oil rig seems to have only moments left*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias gives off a flair of deadly anger before he pulls his head out. 1"Lets go then."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "Everyone needs to get out now. This place is about to break up!"
<DeathStar> *X steps into her previous ripple to take a short cut as the place is coming down*
<Seraphna> **Angela sends a beta to help retrieve Lemon with Cheryl, it cutting them a way out*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves after her
<DeathStar> *Chii hops out on the top, standing on a railing, blowing her tail off*
<DeathStar> <Chii> Hot ot hot*
<Seraphna> **Angela pops up outside, sending for a Montana to pick them up**
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hangs onto the rail and checks his datapad one more time, glancing over at the water below, looking for any Nazi boats.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rides the beta out, Lemon looking like she has a blood coming down the side of her head* <Cheryl> We're here. She took a surprise attack from a Nazi. *She leaps off the Beta. *Kane would spot one straggler trying to escape*
<DeathStar> *The others long gone*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl dumps Lemon into Angela's arms*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane taps somethign and his armor shimmers and wavers activating the battle mode and his stats are boosted so he backs up and sprints to leap off and fall towards the boat, aiming to land on it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kane?!
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Look at nerd boy going all super.
<DeathStar> *X whistles*
<Seraphna> **Angela arranges Lemon on Montana, healing her as it lifts the group away from the rig**
<DeathStar> *Kane goes and goes and goes and manages to land in the water right beside it, his hand touching the side*
<DeathStar> *The Nazis jerk, turning to eye the water*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I think I want to fight him now.
<DeathStar> <X> ... *rolls eyes and opens a ripple, vanishing*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We still need to get out of ehre and pick up Kane plus prisoners."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> X can you ripple me....GOD DMANT!
<DeathStar> *Then appears in the air above the boat, falling through the air*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane probably sinks a fair bit with that momentum, maintaining the ability he kicks into over drive to swim up and try to snag onto the boat.
<Seraphna> **Monty hovers the group at a safe distance**
<DeathStar> *As they aim at Kane with their plasma weapons* Stay right there or we will fire. *X lands onto the boat with her speed from the drop, rocking the boat and sending them flying up a bit to give Kane time to climb up*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Capture one. 6* He calls out to X, hopping up to try and shoot a stun shot at one.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias narrows his eyes as he leans over the side of Montana, holding wiht one hand. Their's a creaking noise from Montana's shell as Dias' feet begin digging in.
<Xanatos> <Kane> And watch for suicide triggers!
<Seraphna> Angela> Dias, please don’t destroy this one.
<DeathStar> *X kicks the back of one's knee and flips them onto their back, judo chopping as Kane stuns one. The final one leaps for something on the boat*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah'm sensing a boom. *Lemon so far doesn't seem to be waking up*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias suddenly disappears as Montana rocks and a second later he appears beside the final one and tackles him off the boat and into the water
<DeathStar> <Chii> Hm. *She eyes Lemon, smacking her fac* Weird.
<DeathStar> *X stumbles due to Dias*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "What did Lemon get hit with?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There was a lot of smoke. I thought she got stabbed in the gut. But that shouldn't be enough to stop her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not with her healing and Angela's healing
<Xanatos> 6* Kane's armor shimmer and his speed is double so he moves to get between the leaping nazi and whatever he's going for.
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns** Depends on what she was stabbed with.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll need to get her to the Repliforce ship
<ChadWinters> 6Dias surfaces, holding on to the last nazi. 1"Got him."
<DeathStar> *with all the Nazis dealt with, it seems they've secured the boat. X ripples the others to the boat*
<DeathStar> <X> Watch the dead man's trigger that will blow the boat
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We need emergency evac of Lemon."
<DeathStar> <X> Right. **she takes the boat and begins to drive it away* Lets go. One of you question the Nazi
<ChadWinters> 6Dias quickly grabs on as she drives away, bouncing along the water
<Xanatos> 6* Kane goes to do so but pauses at seeing Lemon and moves over to kneel and check on her, scanning her.
<Seraphna> Angela> I can take Lemon.
<Xanatos> <Kane> What happened?
<DeathStar> *it seems something has scrambled her system and shut it down, putting it into a coma like state. Since Lemon is a quasi dragoon/cyborg, it seems whatever it was likely preyed on her cyborg vulnerabilities perfectly*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pulls himself up with the nazi and sets him down, punching him across the face one last time to make sure he's out. 1"...What's wrong with Lemon?"
<DeathStar> <Chii> We'll figure that out
<ChadWinters> 6Dias kneels down and puts his hand over the wound.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Artic
<DeathStar> *Blue makes a face* My sensors say this place is cold
<ChadWinters> <Id> It is.
<DeathStar> *Alouette is wearing a coat and is fiddling with her equipment as the Repliforce ship hovers over the location - the Nazi machine throwing up stuff into the sky*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I'm still wondering how...
<Xanatos> 6* Cole has his bomber jacket on, looking at the stuff going up into the sky.
<DeathStar> *Aya prepares herself* Alright, everyone ready to make landinG? <Zayne> Sure why not
<Seraphna> Angel> So we blast this thing?
<Xanatos> <Cole> What is that? Snow?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Blowing it maybe dangerous.
<DeathStar> *Emeralda runs off the edge*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> ... idiot
<DeathStar> *Blue steps off and falls onto the ice*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias floats off and then down
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hops off after Blue.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I will monitor here.
<Seraphna> **Angel heads after the others**
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session571
<DeathStar> *As they all depart, Alouette seems to be trying to figure out how reploid and human can function as nearly one* How can the technology advance so far...
<ChadWinters> <Id> What technology?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I been working on something. Uh, nothing. Battle time. I'm not working on reploid/human stuff
<DeathStar> *She steps off onto the ice where the Nazis have set up a parimeter of tanks and other forces*
<ChadWinters> <Id> ....Reploid human stuff? That sounds interesting.
<DeathStar> <Emeralda> How do we get past that?
<Seraphna> Angel> Well, this looks fun.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Air strike?
<ChadWinters> <Id> I doubt I can hack them. So either destroying their ground beneath them or...yes an air strike.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Air Strike. Then I'll teleport to their blank and draw attention.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes the signal to Cran.
<DeathStar> <Cran> *comm* One moment. I will attempt to airstrike them.
<DeathStar> *Cran flies overhead with the penguin like ship and begins to bomb the area*
<DeathStar> *with a lucky 1, the group takes out the majority of the tanks and forces*
<DeathStar> *As the penguin sails on*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Wow, that was the best strike yet.
<DeathStar> *The enemy though retalities and fires back, taking the penguin down and it slides on the ice*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I am curious as to how they where able to move so many units in such little time without anyone noticing.
<Xanatos> <Cole> No!
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll try to calculate how
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, that's something you don't see every day
<Xanatos> 6* Cole grits his teeth and forms his drills and leaps moves forward to leap on the tank to drill it open.
<DeathStar> <Blue> ... Huh
<ChadWinters> <Id> A flying penguin become a grounded penguin?
<DeathStar> *The Nazis, that remain, begin to fire back with plasma weapon, trying to keep the team back.* <Alouette> Ah, I designed the ship. How do you like it?
<Seraphna> **Angel taps her comms** You okay Alex?
<DeathStar> <Cran> *Comms* I'm fine. Give me a moment. I might have something
<DeathStar> *Blue fires ice beams at the Nazis, clearing a path to the strange machine; it seems due to the penguin there is not much resistance left*
<DeathStar> <Emeralda> *zooms around it* Well, what is it?
<ChadWinters> 6Id calculates to see if there's a safe path for him and Aya to get towards the strange machine.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole is teleporting around lighting attacking any remaining forces.
<DeathStar> *Aya nods to Id and lifts him up, moving forward with Alouette following after them*
<Seraphna> **Angel follows Allouette, glancing back at the Penguin ship**
<DeathStar> *The Nazis curse at Cole, stabbing at him with weapons that seem designed to stop him and his lightning*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Need help, Cole?
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm getting a bad feeling here! 6 * he tries to avoid the attacks*
<ChadWinters> 6Id gives Aya and Alouette directions
<Seraphna> **Angel grumbles and points her finger like a gun, sending a small hyper blast at the Nazi**
<DeathStar> *Blue fires her ice beams at the Nazis, finding they are prepped for her too, but together and their limited numbers, the two are enough to overwhelm*
<DeathStar> *And Angel with her hyer beams*
<Xanatos> <Cole> That was...harder...than I expected.
<DeathStar> <Aya> *works on the machine, plugged in* Well this is not good....
<ChadWinters> 6Id piggy backs through Aya's datapad. 1"Indeed."
<Seraphna> Angel> What is it Aya?
<DeathStar> <Aya> It seems this is device meant to attempt to transform our reality signature. I believe? It's hard to read the code it is putting into the air. But there's a secondary code. <Alouette> Yes. I think it is transforming people.
<ChadWinters> <Id> As if overwriting?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I Think so. But I don't think it'll succeed.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I mean, it's impossible
<Xanatos> <Cole> What does that mean?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Is it though? It could explain how they appeared here so suddenly.
<Seraphna> Angel> Best not to risk it no matter how impossible we think it is.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I mean, to transform reality to your whim on a mass scale you'd need something powerful
<DeathStar> <Alouette> This is just some machine
<Seraphna> Angel> That Spear thingy?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Then this could just be the prep work for the last stage. 6Id checks to see if he can shut it down after copying all the coding for it
<Xanatos> <Cole> ... it's hard to remember after everything that's went on, but they did have a powerful artifact.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I have no knowledge of that.
<DeathStar> *it would take a powerful surge to shut it down*
<ChadWinters> <Id> A person who has access to reality powers can do it, but that would mean they know about their existence.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Is there any sort of place to plug something in here?
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's going to take a massive power surge or emp to shut this down.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Cole, do your thing
<ChadWinters> <Id> Aya, I have copied it's code. Do you see any other way to shut this down?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oookay. Lightnign strikes...this is going to take a lot. 6* He begins to charge up and starts calling down pure weapon strikes to hit the machine.
<DeathStar> *Aya goes to say something as the machine is struck. The stuff being spewed out stops and it shakes, sputters, then makes a noise*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I suggest backing away
<DeathStar> *She runs*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes, Aya. Please retreat now.
<ChadWinters> 6Id nudges Aya to get her moving
<DeathStar> *Blue begins to widen her eyes as Emeralda is long gone as the device explodes as Aya books it, spewing spray out in a half-mile radius*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole starts grabbing people and teleporting them away, using up any remaining ability points he may have left.
<Seraphna> **Angel warps about grabbing who she can and then away from the blast**
<DeathStar> **The ice cracks as they warp out and they'd see the remains of the machine, with what looks to be a melted object - a cup perhaps - sink into the ocean; as they return to the ship, Alouette dusts herself off* Gah, I got stuff on meeeee
<DeathStar> <Aya> I believe it might be in my hair
<ChadWinters> <Id> I would suggest decontamination procedure
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hm, I have bad news.
<Seraphna> **Angel muses** Yeah immediately.
<DeathStar> *he notes, getting the ship up into the air slowly*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *slumps* What NOW?
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...whats up? 6* He looks drained, barely leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'm getting alarms at Cran--- Cheryl's Manor.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I Think the attacker is back.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Why would they return?
<Xanatos> <Cole> I need a power down on the way there.
<Seraphna> Angel> I’ll get these two into decontamination.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Warren is in the medical bay.
<DeathStar> *As they talk, Lemon's team arrive in the hanger*
<DeathStar> <Cran> It seems the others have arrived.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would appear they have a vendetta against Warren.
<DeathStar> <Chii> Lets get Lemon to medical .
<Seraphna> **Angel nods, warping Aya and Allouette to a decontamination area**
<DeathStar> *Aya follows, not bothering to point out they all likely got hit*
<Seraphna> **Angela carries Lemon to medical**
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves with Angela.
<Seraphna> **Angel seems to have realized this as she puts herself through the procedure too**
<Xanatos> <Cole> I need a minute. Let's go decontaminate too Blue.
<DeathStar> *Blue nods and follows* Right, sure
<DeathStar> *As the penguin approaches Mega City, Cran begins to study readings* ... odd.
<ChadWinters> 6Id seems to be studying the stuff that contaminated everyone. 1"Elaborate."
<DeathStar> *The stuff on them seems to be a non-active material to "Transform" things - whatever that is, who knows*
<DeathStar> <Cran> Mega City seems to have something around it. *he brings up the city.*
<DeathStar> *it's like a flux field state is around the city - thankfully the manor is outside the city by a few miles*
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'm beginning to wonder if all this was just to delay us.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's very possible. But for what purpose?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Until we know what we were hit with I will not dismiss anything
<DeathStar> *Aya makes sure to scub down*
<Seraphna> **Angel taps her comms while getting cleaned off** Alex, you should get cleaned up too.
<ChadWinters> <Id> But it would also be foolish to dismiss anything as a distraction.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Angela. How did Senreich take over the other world?
<DeathStar> <Cran> Later; the attack is happening now.
<Seraphna> Angela> Hmm, we’ll he was able to summon up a ton of forces no one saw coming.
<DeathStar> *the penguin lands near the Mansion City*
<DeathStar> *Base
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Well whatever the reason. We just have to beat them all up.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leaves Lemon with Kane* I'm going to head inside
<Xanatos> 6* Kane begins writing a routine to programatically check Lemon's systems.
<Seraphna> Angela> Added to that the Hunters and the Investigation Team were out of the way, no one was there to stop him.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl steps outside and heads for the house*
<Xanatos> <Cole> I have no juice left but I can physically fight. 6* He says to Cran after coming back from the decontamination spray.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Becareful then. *Blue backs Cole*
<ChadWinters> <Id> That's not entirely true. Earthgov has a military and their's still the rest of the Repliforce.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hops off and jogs after Cheryl
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "So what is the call now?"
<ChadWinters> 6Dias jogs after Cheryl.
<Seraphna> **Angela moves to join Cheryl**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl eyes the manor's lights being off*
<Seraphna> **Angel steals a change of clothes from Angela**
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'm going to keep studying this flux state around the city and try to get outside help
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So what ya thinking, chief?
<DeathStar> *Cran works at his console, seeing who he can raise*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I can assist you on deciphering it
<DeathStar> *Cran nods to Id*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Well, I'm going in then..." *heads for the mansion*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Winter's Weapons are working on getting planet side to assist.
<DeathStar> *movement can be heard near the statue leading to the base*
<ChadWinters> 6Id begins studying the data Cran has been gathering on the flux state field
<DeathStar> *Cheryl tenses and Chii leaps toward the movement*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole's miniguns begin to spin, aiming towards the statue.
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her armor**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias whistles a bit as he grabs a bouncy ball from behind his back, his other hand pulling back only to cause him to slump as Chii launches for it.
<Seraphna> Angela> Have we heard back from John and Tab yet?
<DeathStar> *Chii goes flying, landing on the chandilier and a figure slides forward in a fighting stance and a woman behind them*
<DeathStar> <John> Did I hear my name?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... bastard.
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah, that tracks.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Sigh....
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> 'were you waiting for the best time to make a dramatic entrance?"
<DeathStar> <John> I finished my mission and came abck here
<DeathStar> *Cheryl begins to pull the statue open*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Yes that is all we did.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "What did you find in the mountains?"
<DeathStar> <John> It seemed the Nazis were preparing fortress of sorts in that area with a relay aimed this way.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Did you break this relay thing?
<DeathStar> *as Cheryl prepares the emerency button to take them down into the base, they'd find the base has been partially wrecked, with lights flashing*
<DeathStar> <John> Someone really wasn't happy down here.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Yeah....they came this way."
<Seraphna> Angela> Seriously? How did they get in?
<DeathStar> *Suddenly a body falls on Angela*
<Seraphna> **Angela oofs and rolls it off her**
<DeathStar> <Chii> Speak and they shall fall
<ChadWinters> <Dias> How does anyone get in here? 6He peers around, sniffing the air
<DeathStar> *Warren grunts, a spear wound in his side* <Warren> Graaagghhhhh.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Shit, this looks like a bad wound.
<DeathStar> *Warren coughs up blood, fumbling for his gun*
<Seraphna> Angela> For real!? **she uses her strongest heal for it**
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Warren, you look like you got stabbed.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Ah, mah I ask that you resist in healing herr Ire?
<Seraphna> Angela> It’s safe to say Senreich has his spear.
<DeathStar> *A shambling corpse of a man steps toward them from the darkness, holding a glowing weapon*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Ire?
<DeathStar> <Blue> I believe he's gotten the two mixed up
<Xanatos> 6* Cole glances down, then at Blue before looking to the corpse man.
<Seraphna> Angela> This isn’t Ire… wait, are you their Warren or ours?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Friend of yours, Angela?"
<Seraphna> Angela> You’re both so grumpy and old now.
<DeathStar> *Warren just stomps Angela for that response with his remaining strngth*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds up a lit katar to try and get some more light on the corpse man.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes the corpse and the weapon. 1"That things dangerous guys."
<DeathStar> *then uses her to stand up*
<Seraphna> **Angela huffs** This isn’t how you treat your healer!
<DeathStar> *Senreich leans on the weapon, eyeing them with his lidless eyes*
<DeathStar> *it seems impossible such a being could even move around*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Angela... priorities. The bad guy is here."
<Xanatos> <Cole> I think this is Senreich...I don't know who who else it could be.
<DeathStar> <Blue> I heard stories about him.
<Seraphna> Angela> Could be Stubbs the Zombie.
<DeathStar> <Senreich> If you all would be so kind as to step away. I would like to... *he smiles somehow* Remove his head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *Grunts, leaning on Angela*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias drops his bouncy ball letting it bounce once before he pivots his left leg and kicks his right leg into it, causing it to launch towards Seinrich like a rail gun shot
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *points a gun at Senreich* "Funny... I was thinking the same."
<Seraphna> Angela> Nope. **she forms a holy sword**
<DeathStar> *Senreich falls over, the ball smashing through his body like there's nothing there but a rotting corpse*
<DeathStar> *Dias wins 10 billion exp*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Dias, spear."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... becareful
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes the hole through Senreich and the walls behind him. 1"Shit! Restraint."
<Xanatos> <Cole> I think it's a feint. Get close and he'll stab.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I don't know Cass. That spear gives me all sorts of bad juju vibes in my core.
<DeathStar> *Senreich shifts, slowly rising up using the spear* Ah, I see our mechanical friend has wisdom.
<DeathStar> *the spear glows, and the rotting hole closes with actual flesh*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "In that case." *aims th plasma minigun and lets Senreich have it*
<Seraphna> Angela> Loginus. It renders the holder invulnerable.
<DeathStar> *Senreich stands there, slowly walking forward Terminator 2 style, as his rotting flesh flies off, splattering the wall*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We need to separate him from it."
<DeathStar> *as he nears them, step by step, being replaced with actual flesh*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole spools up his miniguns and starts to fire with Cass, though he's focusing on the spear, trying to pummel it away from Senreich's grip.
<Seraphna> Angela> Apparently not enough for us to pin him to a walk though.
<DeathStar> *The spear glows, reflecting it back at the group*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Down!
<DeathStar> *She drops*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole stops firing and drops
<Xanatos> <Cole> Shit
<ChadWinters> 6Dias drops to the ground.
<Seraphna> **Angela drops with Warren shielding him**
<DeathStar> <Warren> Graah
<DeathStar> *a figure quietly crawls on the ceiling during all this*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Get Warren out of here!"
<DeathStar> <John> Hm
<DeathStar> <John> Tabetha, you think we can take him?
<Seraphna> **Angela drags Warren to the nearest door**
<Seraphna> Tabetha> If we don’t get stabbed.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> John. We need to overwhelm him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *makes unholy noises as Cheryl follows Cheryl*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "dias, you need to go hand-to-hand with this guy."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole begins to move out wide to the right, so they're not a big clump of target.
<DeathStar> *John dashes in and begins to punch at Senreich, who holds the spear out and repels John*
<DeathStar> *sending him flying through the consoles*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha holds out a hand and pulls at the spear with TK**
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Restraint. Got it. 6He dashes in behind John then kicks upwards towards the ceiling, squatting against it and repels down, swinging his food towards Senreich
<Xanatos> 6* Cole activates his katars again and moves forward to slash at Senreigh's left side.
<DeathStar> <Senreich> ... *begins to follow after Cheryl when he feels the spear move, eyeing Tabetha, making it glow and lift her up and send her pile driving into \Blue*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Hit him all at once. Every angle. Faster than he can react."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha squeaks, but throws out her hand again to throw something out as she lands**
<DeathStar> *Senerich looks at Dias, taking the cuts and flesh being carved out, and is hit, then spots te figure on the ceiling; Darien drops down and shoves a grenade on him and runs off*
<DeathStar> <Senreich> ....*Grabs the grenade and goes to throw it at Dias8
<Seraphna> **And Tabetha’s trapping foam grenade goes off**
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *runs forward and punches at Senreich's throat*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole leaps back.
<DeathStar> *The grenade explodes*
<DeathStar> *knocking Cassandra back with a damaged hand, but otherwise alright. Senreich has been sent flying back with a gunky mess*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Get the spear, damn it!"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves forward now, leaping to try and get a hand on the spear.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias turns his back to the explosion letting the shrapnel hit his backside as he easily takes it. He turns around to follow after the gunky mess, moving to punch the pieces to keep them from regenerating
<Seraphna> **Angel warps in to nab at the spear**
<DeathStar> *Cole would see no sign of the spear or Senreich*
<DeathStar> *it's like Senreich ran for it*
<Xanatos> <Cole> What the fuck? Where did he go?
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know!
<Seraphna> **Angel pauses and warps back**
<DeathStar> *he winces, holding his side*
<DeathStar> <John> Where could he have run?
<Xanatos> <Cole> ... 6* He looks around carefully, waiting for a cheap attack.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias closes his eyes and sends out a warm aura again, expanding it incredibly quickly through out the base.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Vents?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "We need eyes on every exit form the base."
<DeathStar> *suddenly upstairs where Angela is, there's a boom sound*
<Seraphna> **Angela forms a holy shield around herself and Warren**
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Of course, Warren! Upstairs now!"
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *starts heading back up*
<Xanatos> <Cole> I miss teleporting. 6* He moves after Cassandra.
<Seraphna> **Angel warps up**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias opens his eyes and moves after Cass
<DeathStar> *it looks like - Angela and Cheryl and Warren were given a brief blast nd knocked to the side as Senreich went by*
<DeathStar> *As the team arrives, but otherwise nothing has happened*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *Darien kneels* <Darien> You look like shit
<Seraphna> Angela> Ugh… for ab old dude he moves fast.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We need to find where that bastard retreated to."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He'll go into the city
<ChadWinters> 6Dias darts to move outside, his eyes darting around.
<DeathStar> *He straints to stand
<Seraphna> **Angela looks at Warren and frowns** He did get you with the spear, didn’t he?
<DeathStar> <Warren> He's attempting to restart the fourth reich... inside a small space and then expand it over the world
<DeathStar> *Warren nods, grunting*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And next time you have the chance to take an empowered artifact from the bad guy... please please capture it no matter what juju you feel."
<Seraphna> Angela> Fuck.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something we should know about Warren being stabbed?
<DeathStar> <John> He going to turn into a vampire?
<Seraphna> **Angela looks at Cheryl** We don’t have a philosopher stone or the cure do we?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh sure, I keep 20 around
<Seraphna> Angela> The Spear’s poison kills.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well fuck
<Xanatos> <Cole> Does that shit even exist here?
<ChadWinters> 6Dias steps back inside glancing at Cassandra. 1"Instincts are the hardest thing to fight.
<Seraphna> Angela> Not sure why he bothered to try to kill you.
<DeathStar> *Warren mumbles and stands, swaying*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves over to Warran and places his hand over his wound, feeling it for the supernatural
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *rubs the bridge of her nose*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can think of only a few ways to fix this.
<Seraphna> Angela> Last time we shoved the broken stone in Jennifer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We get the spear back by going into the city
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I don't know if I can do anything about this. I could try but I have no guarantee.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or go to Spear's reality where there might be a stone
<Seraphna> Angela> Both.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And Cass, I've trained to shut my instincts down. So something that can overpower that is dangerous.
<Seraphna> Angela> I’ll get the Strikers on the reality attempt.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Stilll we have to deal with this guy and whtever he's doing to everyone inside Mega City."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Well, now that I've had time to feel it out. I'll be good next time.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "He's probably sitting in your chair, Dias."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Going back to our reality?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As much as I'd love to have Taiga and the Strikers on this
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> we should have some of our people on this too
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And no, Cole, this reality is like --- a copy of yours from what I understand
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Poor guy. Even my chair is a training device.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you're from Lunar Girl's reality
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "He probably used his reality field to turn it into a lame chair."
<Seraphna> Angela> Alright, I’ll let Taiga know we’re sending some people. Why not her while we’re at it.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Then I will destroy him.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh...probably for the best.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> With restraint.
<DeathStar> *As the group step onto the penguin*
<DeathStar> *Cran motions them over*
<DeathStar> <Cran> We got an issue
<Seraphna> Angela> Another?
<DeathStar> <Cran> The field around the city is expanding
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes. And it doesn't seem to be letting up.
<Seraphna> **Angel frowns looking at the scans**
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So we just punch a hole in it.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We need a plan of action and quick.."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. *she shows the field around Mega City growing bigger and bigger*
<DeathStar> <Aya> I believe everyone inside is being transformed into servants of Senreich
<DeathStar> <John> ... Michiru and Lunar is still in there
<DeathStar> *John hops off the ship and moves for the field*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And what happens if we go in?
<DeathStar> <Cran> ... hm. Without protection?
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hail Senreich.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> How long?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Someone stop John. We don't need his power turned against us.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hours? Days at most.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Aya and I are working on a way to slow it down.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha floats him back**
<DeathStar> *John flails*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We will get them Johnny.
<DeathStar> <John> You heard them. They'll be having little moosetaches
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I imagine the longer we take to assault the place, the longer it'll take for us to take it over.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And what about a way to get in, or at least draw Senreich back out?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We’ve had your place tagged for evacuation due to last time.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I doubt Senreich will come out.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Agreed. It's his base of power.
<DeathStar> <Aya> He just needs to wait it out.
<ChadWinters> <Id> So the best bet would be to break in from above and drop in at whatever location we choose
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And how do we pull that off without switching sides as soon as we crass over?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Give us time. I'm anaylizing the stuff sprayed on us
<DeathStar> <Aya> I Think that was meant to speed things up
<DeathStar> <Aya> If Id and I can make osmething to shield you
<Seraphna> Angel> In which case Alex, showertime.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You can go in much longer.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes. Aya and I are working hard on that.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Right
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Think he would be in the presidential office?"
<DeathStar> *Cran steps up to do so*
<ChadWinters> <Id> I also believe that Winters is utilizing the PAX to help with this.
<DeathStar> <X> Hm
<DeathStar> <X> Dias' office is now ground zero for the battle of the world?
<DeathStar> *X nods*
<DeathStar> *Lemon meanwhile seems to be doing better; she just needs to wake*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Are you about to help fight for my chair?! 6He almost looks like he's about to swoon
<Seraphna> Angela> I knew this day would come.
<DeathStar> <X> Sure, why not.
<DeathStar> *John sends flying airplanes at the field for Lunar and Micih*
<DeathStar> *telling them to fight growing moostaches*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Right, we could do an airdrop right on top of the executive tower. From there its just a couple of stories down to the presidential office."
<DeathStar> <Emeralda> He's kind of an idiot
<ChadWinters> 6Dias hops up and lands, crossed legged, the warm aura suddenly appearing around him again but quickly retreating and condensing around his body.
<DeathStar> *Alouette has packed her bags* I want to go with Cole and Blue and whatever team ends up going to the other reality for the rock
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Then I guess I need to fight at atleast 70%.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps Erevis' wife can help with that.
<DeathStar> <X> Which one?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Ama.
<DeathStar> <X> When it comes to the "Gods" I'm always wary.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Indeed. But if you view them as nothing more than tools. The wariness goes away.
<Seraphna> Angela> Don’t let Erevis hear you say that.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Spirit based tech may be useful hear also. Senreich's tech may not be designed to counter it. So I will request to have one of my Spirit Shell's to help.
<ChadWinters> <Id> That maybe our best chance for them to survive longer, AYa.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You're right, we have to use advantages he might not have. If it's based on Cole and Blue's reality then he might not have access to it.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Assuming also if Lunar is from the same reality as the two and Senreich is from the same reality as well. *She seems ot be writing something down*
<DeathStar> <Aya> I might have an idea.
<DeathStar> nTBC for now
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe we have several paths forward now.
