<DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Manor
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session589
<DeathStar> *due to the wedding of Jaime, Gnome, and Adeline taking place today, Lemon is holding it here at the manor where many people have gathered, including those from Geyze, making it so that a lot of people have gathered from the PAX, Geyze, and especially Earth. The entire place has been crowded for the past few hours as people are about the floors of the manor doing their things (Cont)
<DeathStar> *since the spirits are even present, and the spirits lately have become hostile with one another, the Peacekeepers are there to try to keep the peace. However, that is easier said than done. Gwen downs a drink, keeping an eye on Salamander eyeballing Undine*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't like how they're eyeing each other
<DeathStar> *he tugs at his suit*
<DeathStar> *Erevis is upstairs right now with Jaime, off screen*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I have a bad feeling..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Like a fire might burn this place down?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I really hope they can stay civil... at least for this..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Or lightning, or an ice storm, or a tidal waave."
<DeathStar> *Gwen watches Ren dance with Charlotte in the background, eyeing everyone suspiciously* Also, why is that one eyeing me like I stole her food.
* Dias` sits with what family would've shown up, writing notes down in a notebook as he waits. Id floats about like an eager camcorder waiting for that Jerry Springer moment
<Sara> <Ellie> Or all of them at once......
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Who is eyeing you?"
<Dias`> *Chad
<Seraphna> **Alita has made herself present to try and help keep the balance and the peace with Void**
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<DeathStar> *Ren glances at the group as she slow dances with Charlotte, peering over at them as she studies hard*
<DeathStar> *Gwen points*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh her? She's always suspicious."
<DeathStar> *Taiga seems to be subtly holding a device, holding up at guests*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Must be the undercover security who isn't really good at being discrete."
<Seraphna> **Talia pops out of Lana's shirt** Everything safe in here.
<DeathStar> *Gwen jerks*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Wha?!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I should hope so."
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia keep favorite spot secure.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl walks about the party in a simple green dress, nodding to Chad and Aya*
<Seraphna> **Angela is walking about with her, in a blue dress**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *flails*
<DeathStar> *she seems to be observing Taiga scanning people*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer sits back, probably with Athena**
* ChadWinters` glances and nods to Cheryl. 1"I'm still surprised your mansion lives up to the standards of the wedding party."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "You'd think they expect shapeshifters with this security."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We got some surprisingly large rooms.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..." *walks about, clad in a formal kimono*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Sparkling can detect those though
<DeathStar> *Fate is drinking in her younger form, getting sloshed at the open bar*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Uh-oh...Fate is here."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It IS a wedding
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias steps in his nose wrinkling as he sniffs the air.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Is this wedding that important?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I--
<DeathStar> *Gwen pauses, considering*
<Seraphna> **Thena pops up behind Fate**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Fate usually only appears when big timeline defining events are occurring."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> M-Maybe she likes the little snacks they're serving?
<Seraphna> Talia> There's little fishies!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Unlikely... but maybe."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...yeah...bad feeling intensifying."
<DeathStar> *suddenly there's a commotion off to the side as Salamander and Undine begin to spat*
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Like I wanted to appear in your stupid temple
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ah! Alita, its started!"
<Seraphna> **Alita taps her staff and a Spirit shield forms between them**
* ChadWinters` rubs his face slightly at the children bickering
<DeathStar> *The two peer at each other, then Alita*
<Seraphna> Alita> You agreed to behave for Gnome.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Any damage and Lumi gets charged.
<Seraphna> Alita> Save it for home pleae.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> ... *The two step away and find spots further away from each other*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh relaxes a little at that
<Seraphna> **Alita smiles** Best we not try to form world peace here and just get through the ceremony.
<DeathStar> *Lemon opens the doors* Please, this way. *The spirits try to enter before each other, causing some trouble.
<DeathStar> *There is a chapel in the old manor that Lemon seems to have fixed up.*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh, I did not even know about this room.
<DeathStar> *She glances about and sits down*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Didn't we get married in here?
* ChadWinters` glances to Aya. 1"I promise to never act like that if If I live that long."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Nyah
<DeathStar> *Athena lazily lays on a pew*
<Seraphna> Angela> I feel like this room is important to me for some reason.
<DeathStar> *Ren sits with Charlotte and Kaori*
<DeathStar> *while Taiga stands in the back with her scanner*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks over and stands next to Taiga* "...anything?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Kinda feels like you could cut the tension in the air with a knife...
<Seraphna> **Si sits with Taiga**
<Seraphna> Si> So far it's a calm wedding in our terms. Not a Nazi in sight.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Fate was spotted at th bar earlier."
<Seraphna> Si> She's shown up for New Years Eve parties where nothing happened too.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah and she was drunk
<DeathStar> <Ren> What does that mean?
<DeathStar> <Ren> What does a drunk Fate mean?!
<Seraphna> Si> That she's celebrating like most people do?
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses in her panicking*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh
<DeathStar> *Ren whispers* So have you seen anyone look suspicious yet?
<Seraphna> Si> I believe she's friends with Jaime. They did some time stuff in the past.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "About that... Ren...you've been the most suspicious looking person here."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Me?!
<Seraphna> Si> Yuo are jumping at every shadow.
<DeathStar> *Aya leans over to Cheryl and Chad* <Aya> ... what are they whispering so loudly about?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Ren is definitely suspicious
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You have been going around looking at people like you are about to murder them."
<DeathStar> *Gwen points to his group* Suspicious
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We're looking for suspicious people."
<Seraphna> **Si mouths to Cheryl "Sugar High"**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Suspicions are really high... it's not just the spirits. Everyone seems to be expecting things to explode."
<ChadWinters`> For once, I'm glad I don't know.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Maybe they think one of the brides will murder the other
<Seraphna> **Jennifer sits Saga and Aurora with them, pulling Athena close**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well...some important people are here. I mean, the Earth president was sniffing around, literally, earlier."
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats by Lana. 1"Most likely because of so many strong people in one place.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Come on, Jaime isn't *that* volatile."
<Seraphna> Si> Yep, no Nazis, Ninjas, Sudden Dinosaurs or Man Eating Robots, so far this is a clean one.
<Sara> <Kaori> Still tense...
<DeathStar> *as everyone finishes entering the room, even Fate takes a seat in the back*
<DeathStar> *The spirits glaring up fron, gwen and Simon having to make sure they're all scattered about the room*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If I were eil, I would totally rip a hole in the fabric of reality right here or just explode everything."
<Jackieness> eil == evil
<DeathStar> *Cheryl eyes Lana from her spot*
<DeathStar> *Ren's ears perk and she points at Lana*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *whispering to her group about her*
<Seraphna> Talia> Naught Lana. That would spoil all the fish.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Wouldn't this be the absolute worst time to cause havok? Seriously..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm....I think she's just an emo."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She is talking to the vampire wannabe."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, get closer and see what its about."
<DeathStar> *As the music begins to play, indicating the wedding is about to start, Selena slides in with Death of all spirits*
<Alicia> * Charlotte sneaks over
<DeathStar> *who is dressed up in a gothic like dress. She tugs at it, looking displeased, and Neekito arrives with Ellie in her dress*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... oh. I see why this is so important now."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...last minute arrivals. Ren, move in and see what that is about."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and slips into the shadows to spy on Selena and the others*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Sorry we're late. I thought It'd be good to have Death watch this. ... we still need to give her a real name.
* ChadWinters` rubs his face again.
<DeathStar> *Xanatos leads Jaime down the aisle, then Gnome is led down by Leaf and Cassava, then Adeline by Kane. Erevis takes a spot at the front, wearing a priest outfit and holds a book to read from*
<DeathStar> *her hair done up all professional like*
<Seraphna> **Jaime wears a flowing green gown with gold etchings, leaf like textures, her hair seems to be intricately filled with flowers**
<DeathStar> *Adeline wears a wedding dress that helps cover up her scar from her childhood, Gnome is wearing a rather provocative mud wedding dress, while Adeline's is a more traditional white dress. The two almost completely different*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leans back as Erevis begins to have the three stand together, holding hands and goes through the ceremony.8
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, so far no attack.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The way everyone is acting, I expected something.
<Seraphna> Angela> I think everyone does, it's a 3 out of 4 chance with this group.
<Seraphna> Angela> Probably why most of us started doing private ceremonies.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have Necia hooked up to the system. It should be fine.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks happy as can be, especially since this ceremony waited till they got Gnome back**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh keeps her Gitarii DNA up for the added hearing... which she hasn't been doing for some time
<ChadWinters`> Personally, I don't think this group of people know what a normal wedding is anymore.
<DeathStar> *right as the ceremony is nearing it's end* <Erevis> Jaime - Gnome - Adeline. You may kiss the bride. *The lights go off and the computer states they are in lockdown mode*
<DeathStar> *Ren peers up from her spying behind Selena*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh darnit. **she kisses both anyway** Making sure this part's over.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *glances around as the emergency lights go on*
<Seraphna> **Angela peers around**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What a surprise."
<Seraphna> Jaime> It was gonna be something, at least it's external.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "OK, there we go. Taiga?"
* ChadWinters` leans back, not making any motion to deal with it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I been checking people but I haven't picked up anything - yet. This could be a move to replace someone.
<DeathStar> *she notes*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl stands up* I'll go to the base. <Lemon> Everyone, this way
<DeathStar> *Lemon leads them to the reception hall*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl shifts to head downstairs*
<Seraphna> **Jaime combines with Gnome and picks up Adeline, walking along since she isn't letting this stop her special time**
<Seraphna> **Angela goes with her**
* ChadWinters` sighs slightly. 1"I'll accompany you Cheryl. Aya, make sure nobody does anything to stupid."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Right. I can do that.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, stick to Jaime and adeline. Adeline gets priority if they becoem separated."
* ChadWinters` follows fater Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Ren follows the two; the reception hall meanwhile has a ton of food, and an ice statue of Adeline*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And me?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen< ,,, *eyes the statue*
<DeathStar> *before stuffing his face with food*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *Takes a seat as Erevis, still in her priest robes, sits down with some food*
<Seraphna> **Jaime-Gnome sits with Adeline**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias is already at the foot area, eating, having skipped the ceremonyt
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Si, you stick with Charlotte. The two of you, check out the guests and see to their safety."
<ChadWinters`> *food*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Got it." *leads the guests out*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and moves with Charlotte**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thena, we need your army of Thena on the floor."
<DeathStar> *Kane and Lemon sit off to the side with their drinks*
<Seraphna> **An army of Thenas dressed like Secret Service Agents roam the floor**
<DeathStar> *Selena watches the Strikers move about*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What are they doing?
<Seraphna> Talia> I think they guarding wedding.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> From what?
<DeathStar> *he squints in the emergency lighting*
<Seraphna> Talia> Well the Mutant Space Fish haven't attacked so I think badguys.
<Sara> <Ellie> Maybe from themselves?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> *fiddles, having been quiet since the wedding*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> *She swishes her tail, a little bow on it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You okay our love?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gwen...cna you get me somethign to drink?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Just waiting on for when we cut the cake.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I have no idea what's going on, but everyone seems to be handling things..."
<DeathStar> *Adeline smiles, though she seems to be mentally checking on the Strikers*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I have all the manpower we have deployed. Any pings yet, Taiga?"
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and heads off to do so*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No alternate reality signatures in this room so far.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I swaer if they are just trolling us..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *hands Jaime the knife*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we'd better move that along. **she nods and carefully starts to cut the cake**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl reaches the control room and looks around. Necia is sitting there, looking unconscious, hooked up to the holonet*
<Seraphna> Angela> She always dip out like that?
<DeathStar> *Adeline smiles and takes the cake piece, smashing it into her mouth*
<Seraphna> **Jaime giggles, returning fire with the next piece**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It is unusual.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hey. *narrows eyes*
<Seraphna> **Angela muses and checks her vitals**
<Seraphna> **Jaime licks her nose clean** Yes~?
<DeathStar> *Gwen returns with a some drinks*
* ChadWinters` sits down, glancing at the terminals.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Thanks!" *takes her drink*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl returns the power back on*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're still locked in
<ChadWinters`> You see what caused it in the first place?
<DeathStar> *Necia seems fine, but it looks like she downloaded something that fried her for a bit*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She seems to have gotten something in her system that locked us in
<Seraphna> Angela> There doesn't seem to be an immediate threat, but someone wants us kept here I'm guessing.
<ChadWinters`> Maybe we shouldn't have her locked in to the systems then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's unusual, usually people wnat to break in
<Seraphna> Angela> UNless they want us out of the way elsewhere.
<DeathStar> *Neekito pokes fingers at Ellie, hugging onto her arm*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Ellie?
<Seraphna> Angela> Do we have communications?
<ChadWinters`> Seems pointless, I have enough Weapons outside here to deal with most threats and that doesn't include all the power hitters that aren't here.
<Seraphna> Angela> Most of the Suisen Royal Family, all of the Spirits and a majority of oiur senior staff is here.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, do we have any communciations to the PAX or Asteroid C?"
<Seraphna> Angela> In other words, the leadership.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It looks like the lockdown has locked us out of communications
<DeathStar> *Cheryl taps chin* Unless it's to plan a hit on us
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You think they did this?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or delay us from going somewhere.
<ChadWinters`> It's a possibility.
<ChadWinters`> Send someone who can teleport a long distance and have them see if anything weirds happening.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nothing has happened yet, so its possible that this is a distraction."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If something is headed this way the lockdown is keeping us from seeing anything long distance. Hold on. I'll restore some more functions like I did with the lights
<Seraphna> Angela> Did Drasek or any of the Reploids attend?
<ChadWinters`> Not that I saw. Same with X's crew.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thena!"
<Seraphna> **Angela muses and sees if she can reach the Epsilon with her Beta Protocol**
<Seraphna> **The many Thenas turn**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Creepy
<DeathStar> *he is eating his jello*
<Sara> <Ellie> Mm? *she looks at Neekito*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I just need one of you..."
<Seraphna> **A copy walks over**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...totally." *sips*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> C-Can we have a wedding? *poke poke* And maybe other stuff? *Tail swishes cutely* It'd even mean a wedding dress. *Sylph leans in, leering a bit with her tuxedo and top hat*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Can you teleport through Cheryl's lockdown defense?"
<Seraphna> **Copy tries**
<DeathStar> *Adeline hmmm's*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So which one of us should do the you know what?
<Sara> * Ellie blinks, looking at Sylph
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm? Well you're the asked Bride in this one~
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *leering cutely at Neekito acting that way*
<DeathStar> *The copy vanishes - one moment*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Gwen, Sylph is scheming..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't like that leer. It scares me.
<DeathStar> *He eats faster*
<Sara> <Ellie> Maybe, but I don't want it to get crashed
<DeathStar> *Shiva eyes the other spirits, all in their own corners* <Shiva> ... *Undine eyes Gnome/Jaime combined, sizing up their revealing outfit and shifts her own to be even more revealing*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> We should do it at te Academy then. No one crashes stuff at home.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...yeah...she's been totally creeping. First stealing candy, then this."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias chokes on his food at Shiva doing that and quickly looks away
<DeathStar> *The copy manages to barely make it outside where she sees something in the sky*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't like being stuck here, helpless... even if nothing's happening, it could be."
<Seraphna> **Antoher Thena looks over** Something's in the sky outside. **She informs the strikers**
<DeathStar> *Thena finds her comm being jammed by the lockdown*
<Seraphna> **Thena's communicating telepathically**
<Sara> * Ellie thinks back to the numerous unlikely events that happened at important times at the Academy
<DeathStar> *Adeline stands up and tosses the bridal's Bouquet over her shoulder*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <What kind of something?>
<Seraphna> **Outside Thena tries to get a better look**
<DeathStar> *it looks like aa jubo airplane that has it's engine destroyed*
<DeathStar> *And it's going to crash any minute*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright lets get our sensors back on...
<Seraphna> Thena> *inside* An airplane about to crash into us!
<DeathStar> *Cheryl gets it on and it bleeps a jumbo jet on the radar*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Seraphna> **Outside Thena attempts to use her Hyperspace Cannon move to blast it out of the way**
<ChadWinters`> I'm working on it the best I can....
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... damn them!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Every barrier and TK userm assemble! We need to defend ourselves now!:
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If I had my hammer..."
<Seraphna> **LIsa, quietly in attendance, stands up and holds up her hands, forming a barrier around the guests and the reception room** Dragoon... AEGIS!!!
<DeathStar> *Thena super successfully moves the plane*
<DeathStar> *by blowing it up*
<Seraphna> Inside Thena> Got it! ...Kinda hope no one was inside but they were doomed anyway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *Eyes the radar* The plane is ... gone?
<DeathStar> *Chunks of it rain from the sky*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alright, we need to consider a possible followup attack."
<Seraphna> **Outside Thena looks around for more**
<ChadWinters`> ...I'm picking up Hyperspace energy...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> oh jesus.
<Seraphna> Angela> So one of ours took it out.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leans back in her seat*
<ChadWinters`> This is bad. 6He leans back rubbing the bridge of his nose
<Seraphna> Angela> From the intense energy I'm feeling above, our surprise guardian used her Shield too.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, the hyperspace energy was used to remove the plane, right...?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It looks like it. *she eyes Selena and the other guests*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Even if 'from existance'."
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes. I musta hit something in there that exploded too.
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the ceiling* <Selena. I think I heard something
<Seraphna> **LIsa holds the barrier for now, and sips champagne with her free hand**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias looks upwards, dropping his food on the floor.
<DeathStar> *Neekito meanwhile has stolen the thrown bouquet from Gwen's head*I
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I won.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What? Huh?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Fate, I need your help.
<DeathStar> *he turns around, having been distracted*
<Seraphna> **Those looking would see the Blue energy sparkle of her shield**
<DeathStar> <Fate> Me? *she looks sober for one who has drunk a lot
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh?"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh listens for the 'something'
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves over to her and punches the air, disappearing with her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...okay then..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well ther seems to be no more attacks. *it allows her to work wiht Chad to bring the lockdown down*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Just like Dias to be able to bust out of a lockdown like that."
<Seraphna> Angela> I guess we leave the air defenses up just in case. We'd have been screwed if someone hadn't seen that in time.
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves over to the others* I doubt the reality pirates expected that to really kill us, this was just a "maybe it could have" scenario
<Seraphna> Thena> It's because of Fate. She can't really be locked down, she just leaves the reality and reenters where she wants.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So they probably are going to be doing something else during all this. I'll try to figure out what it is. Give me a few minutes
<DeathStar> *She hurries off*
<DeathStar> *Neekito gives it to Ellie*
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs** I'll bring Betas down to help with cleaning up the plane and recovering what we can.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right. Thena, I need you to get copies to the PAX and Asteroid C."
<DeathStar> <Ren> It looks like the lockdown is over
<ChadWinters`> I'm checking records on flights that were coming this way and it's not....6He doesn't looks happy as he motions it to Cheryl
<Seraphna> **They nod and two teleport out**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I can get communications to others now
<Seraphna> **Outside rejoins core Thena**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. I'll contact the guests and see if the Geyze Peacekeepers with the spirits can help with the plane
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Was it even a regular flight?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Whoever did this just made a lot of enemies in a lot of locations all at once.
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll find out when grandma gives her report I guess
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Or, if you think big enough, just one."
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... mostly smooth, unexpected sky show.
<ChadWinters`> I'll let you handle dealing with this....Cheryl.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Outside the Manor
<DeathStar> *Selena and the other Geyze people have been tasked with going through the pain wreckage to find survivors of a passanger flight that had been hijacked. The spirits, for once, work together, with little spatting - outside a little in fighting if they get too close and they start competing. Gwen and a few others quickly knock them out of it*
<DeathStar> *Neekito looks grim, her dress grimy as she works to get things in order, a lot of the plane having been vaporized*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias and Fate stand off to the side of the wreckage with some survivors, Dias not looking happy.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, if reality 25 did this, then they have gone too far."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *pushes up glasses*
<ChadWinters`> Doesn't matter who did this, Noire.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It doesn't?"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> This is my fault, Fate. I relaxed my guard. I should've reacted quicker.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I finally got a report. A red haired woman hook controls of the air plane and sent auto piloted the plane to crash into the building. We have some audio and video logs of them.
<Seraphna> Angela> Whoever did this was sick enough to set up a situation where no matter what, someone was going to be killed.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I feel like I'm not going to enjoy this."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Actually, it does." *adjusts glasses* "If its who I thinm it is, we have limited options to retaliate."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl uses her datapad to bring up Reality 25's Charlotte. She can be seen on the flight hijacking it, having gotten into it mid-flight. As she walks along, she can be seen talking to them, as she and her pirates take care of the pilots and tie them up with some sort of strange material.* <25 Charlotte> Don't worry. The heroes will save you in time. We just need you for a little distraction. You can even tell them where we're going. *She kneels down and whispers into one girl's ear before they finish their job on reprogramming the plane and exit*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This is who did it.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I thought so... I'm not going to be popular, am I?"
<DeathStar> *Ren pats Charlotte*
<ChadWinters`> Apparently she expected better from us. 6He crosses his arms.
<Seraphna> Angela> Thena's gone into seclusion, she's blaming herself for all the deaths. Don't think the kid's ever had to make a split second decision like that before.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's the price of becoming a leader. She'll either accept it or let it break her
<Seraphna> Angela> Hopefully she settles on the fact that she had to pick between her friends and loved ones and total strangers. Speaking of which , DID any of them survive? It seems like Nega-Char put some protecting on them.
<DeathStar> *Dias and Fate, perhaps due to Fate's little mysterious abilities, pull someone from the wreckage*
<ChadWinters`> 994715
<DeathStar> *it seems to be said little girl*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... what are the odds?
<ChadWinters`> *Ignore that*
<Seraphna> Talia> Think that was planned.
<ChadWinters`> From what I can tell, Dias and Fate grabbed who they could before the plane crashed.
<DeathStar> <Selena> By whom?
<Seraphna> Talia> Whoever made plane fall.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Wait, they did?
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the two*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Taiga, anything more that we can do here?"
<ChadWinters`> And I think you're trying to will pure luck into existence to justify the outcome, Angela.
<Seraphna> Angela> Huh?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I... should probably keep out of the way."
<DeathStar> *Death meanwhile is wandering the plane wreckage, standing over people*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I want to know their target.
<Seraphna> Angela> All I asked was if there were any survivors. The video showed Charlotte putting something on them.
* ChadWinters` looks over to Cheryl and starts talking to her on ways to mitigate the collateral damage from this
<DeathStar> *she kneels by the girl Fate and Dias found, and asks her what the crazy red head said*
<Seraphna> **Angela moves over to the girl, peering around for others since you know, she can heal people**
<DeathStar> *Undine helps heal the survivors of the plane crash*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh checks up on if there are any other survivors
<DeathStar> *There are a few, here and there*
<Alicia> * and helps heal them
<Seraphna> **Angela joins in that effort**
<DeathStar> *it seems Undine accepts healers to be around her, for all her haughtiness*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...*pats the girl and stands up, moving over to Ren and Noire*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... well you won't believe this.
<Seraphna> *Jennifer is helping too, she nods to Undine, soon joined by Alita as well, who tries to apply her ressurection spells to any that might only recently be dead**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline glances over at Taiga*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...what is it?"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I need to push my ability farther, Fate. Once my terms up, you and I are going to train harder.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They're targetting Repliforce. They might already be done. They plan to steal stuff from them. And then they'll probably begin to rapidly move from place to place before they leave
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... We haven't heard anything from Cran
<Seraphna> **Angela peers over, then closes her eyes to tap into her connection at Repliforce**
<DeathStar> *Angela would sense pure chaos going on over there*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Try to get Cran on comms. Anyone on Repliforce that we can contact. Dias needs to order EarthGov into action as well."
<Seraphna> Angela> It's still going on.
<Seraphna> Angela> We might be able to help if we go now. Anyata's doing her best to protect Allouette.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... hmph. *She clases her eyes* And why would we want to help the old man?
<Seraphna> Angela> My daughter and our friends are there, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<ChadWinters`> It would be a chance to rub it in his face that his new project isn't what it's cracked up to be.
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm going, regardless.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. We should gather a small team; leave the rest here incase another crisis breaks out.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I should probably go where I keep the lowest profile, considering."
<Seraphna> **Angela nods and a shuttle flies down from somewhere in orbit**
<Seraphna> Angela> Taiga, this is your foe isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Selena> I'll standby here with my people. Continue to help here.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I suppose it is.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I claim dibs on them.
<ChadWinters`> If you want to go Cheryl. I'll deal with....cleaning this up.
<Seraphna> Angela> Welp, get on. I'll have Epsilon hop in when we get up there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. <Taiga> I'll stay here and work comms for my people.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias leaps on to the top of the shuttle.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id flies inside it
<Seraphna> Angela> We'll be hoppiung to orbit Dias, might wanna come inside.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, stay here with Taiga then."
<DeathStar> *Ren steps into the shuttle. Gwen glances at the Geyze people*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then goes to the shuttle*
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia are now heavily engaged in healing**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Any of us coming along?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I'll be leaving before you enter orbit. Just need the height to gauge my distance.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Gwen and just shrugs*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I could, but I don't know what help I'd be."
<Seraphna> **Angela gets in and take a seat, a Beta appears to be piloting the shuttle**
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and hops on**
<DeathStar> *Fate watches them go, then turns to help people* Good luck. *Adeline steps into the shuttle, tearing her wedding dress to move more comfortably*
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows her on, frowning, but keep on sticking with her**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If you're dealing with the pirats, you might need me - even if it's just on comms
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We should stay and keep an eye on the spirits anyway."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Fair enough.
<Seraphna> Angela> I have a lovely setup on the Epsilon for operators.
<Alicia> * Charlotte pauses, sighing a little, then heads on. "I'll be on comms, at least."
<Seraphna> **Angela starts to take them up and into orbit after people board**
<ChadWinters`> 6As the shuttle nears orbit, it's rocked about as Dias leaps off
<Seraphna> **The shuttle heads for the hangar of a heavy carrier type vessel last seen during the Dark War helping the PAX, beefier now**
<DeathStar> *Adeline makes a grunt noise*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> One day - he will break his leg.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why is Dias like that?"
<Seraphna> Angela> I gave up questioning that like 50 years ago.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Based on my profile, he would only see that as a fair handicap for his opponent
<Seraphna> **When their shuttle lands the carrier hops to hyperspace and for the Repliforce Base, already running**
<DeathStar> *since, all this is on Earth, leaping to hyperspace to a target so close...*
<Seraphna> ((They flew into orbit))
<DeathStar> *as they arrive at Repliforce, they would find the place to be eerily quiet*
<ChadWinters`> *there's a crater where Dias most likely landed*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...they may have kidnapped the replicants."
<Seraphna> **Angela sends them down again, now with an armed escort of Betas**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl steps out and looks around the entrance*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what's the plan - run in?
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats alongside Cheryl. 1"I'm currently scanning for energy signatures
<Seraphna> **Angela feels out Anyata again**
<Seraphna> Angela> We'll breach, but first let me see if we have any warning from inside. She could only send pure chaos a few moments ago and it's quiet now.
<Alicia> * Charlotte sends in a drone to scout once Angela's done
<DeathStar> *as they move through the front gates*
<DeathStar> *there's noises in the hanger*
<Seraphna> **Angela keeps feeling out for Anyata and sends Montana towards the hangar.
<DeathStar> *Ren moves toward the hanger as Anyata hasn't been felt yet*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, lets see what's in here
<DeathStar> *Cheryl takes up position and prepares to breach*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around and heads that way too, then breaches by blasting the doors aside**
<DeathStar> *The two bust in and find Dias battling an evil shuttle that was in quarantine it seems and somehow escaped*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Cheryl, have you had anyone looking for their forces nearby? Their ships must be within teleporting range.
<DeathStar> *Adeline throws up a TK shield
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what?"
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Bad shuttle! I said no! 6He pushes against it
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Really? Where are the Reploids?
<DeathStar> *The shuttle seems to be rampaging for Dias, trying to consume him as the front is forming a Sigma face*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not that thing again
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Pretty sure this is a trap... again?!"
<Seraphna> **Epsilon up above begins scanning and tracking for the missing Beta signal**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This is a distraction. We need to move on now."
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and holds out a hand, starting to crush the minerals in the shuttle's metal**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I SAID NO! 6He pulls his hand back and slams it downwards for the nose of the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. *they appear to be located - the Repliforces up in the sky above the complex.*
<Seraphna> Angela> Got a ping, the forces are all above us.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> ...Why does he have that shuttle?
<DeathStar> *Gnome gathers materials from the hanger nad begins to rip it off complex to help crush the shuttle with Dias, and soon has buried it alive*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have no idea.
<Seraphna> **Angela peers up, then moves for the shuttle** Let's get up there.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not like that idea.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It might be an enemy PAX. we need to get up there." *heads after Angela*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Thanks G girl. 6He gives Gnome a thumbs up
<DeathStar> *As they move for the shuttle, they spot someone standing by it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's someone there.
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs, the Beta in the shuttle forms a shotgun and starts shifting towards the ramp** Who is it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Keep going." *continues moving forward
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves with the group
<DeathStar> *Standing there is the Noire they ran into protecting Adeline. She stands there like someone who is used to protecting their charge*
<Seraphna> Angela> Out of the way... Negiore.
<DeathStar> *peering at their shuttle, sizing it up, then since Charlotte is still inside, forms a Carnage like tendril and aims it at the wall of the shuttle*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge and dashes toward her counterpart*
<DeathStar> *stabs through the shuttle where Charlotte is at*
<Seraphna> **The Beta leans out and fires the shotgun at her**
<DeathStar> <Ren> No!
<Alicia> * Charlotte jumps out of the way
<Seraphna> Angela> Do you know how much it takes to adapt these shuttles bitch?
<DeathStar> *Negior is hit as they rush her and she dark puddles and slides along the ground, reforming*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slashes verticlaly down at the tendril*
<DeathStar> *Noire barely misses*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias eyes Nega-Noire, releasing his calming embrace outwards.
<DeathStar> <Negoire> Too slow.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ignore her, get into the shuttle!" *moves after the other 'Noire'.*
<Seraphna> **The Beta moves to start repairing the shuttle and get it going again as Jaime resurfaces with Montana, who moves towards the evil Dark One**
<Seraphna> **Jaime shrugs and gets back up on the shuttle to check on people**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias takes in a deep breath and the warmth from his Calmbing embrace suddenly flares up and expands upwards and a bit outwards.
<DeathStar> *Dias would sense there is one other enemy in the area*
<Seraphna> **Angela then peers above, sending a force of Betas out from orbit down towards the force in the sky, not immediately attacking, trying to determine the status of the reploids**
<DeathStar> *Ren gets onto the shuttle as the other Noire stabs it again*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to run her counterpart through with the Dark Edge*
<Seraphna> Angela> Hey!
<Seraphna> **Angela gets on, taking over repairs as the shuttle starts to take off**
<DeathStar> *Noire stabs Nega Noire, who feels goopy like she's more fluid
<DeathStar> *she grabs onto Noire and pulls her in*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wait, what was that?!"
<Seraphna> **The shuttles guns come on and aim, pausing fire with Noire grappled**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *expands her own tendrils out and tries to wrestle with the other one*
<Seraphna> **Montana hops u and tries to bring his fist just down on Nega**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I have no idea. It's like a liquid Dark One.
<Seraphna> *up
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I really need to ask Andrea about that."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Then you just need to hit it hard enough. 6He moves over to Cheryl and whispers in her ear.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnnnn....get that bird into the air and rescue the reploids!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *watches the fight, wondering if she should join in as Montana hits and the head goops*
<DeathStar> *The Nega one begins to try to consume both Montana and Noire with it's entire body*
<DeathStar> *venom style*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You heard them. Get us up. *Adeline boars finally*
<Seraphna> **Montana electrifies as the shuttle goes up into the the sky**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is hard to accept... which means it's exactly what the other Charlotte doesn't want me to do."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl glances about as Taiga on the comms speaks up* <Taiga comm> Don't let Liquid Noire get the best of you
<Seraphna> *Angela takes them towards the point she feels the reploids at, Beta Mechs joining them in the air**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I need to punch something. 6He slams his foot into the ground and then blurs, appearing above Liquid Noire, his fist pulled back*
<DeathStar> *Dias punches liquid Noire, who has consumes both Montana and Noire, causing them to explode out painfully*
<DeathStar> *leaving Solid Noire and Montana to lay there*
<Seraphna> **Monty starts reconfiguring to stand**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you're a moron..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands, pulling his fist back. 1"You good, Noire?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stands up and looks around for what is left of the other Noire* "...highly annoyed."
<DeathStar> *Liquid Noire slowly begins to reform behind them, menacingly as it rises up in the shuttle Gnome buried a moment ago, now controlling the Sigma Shuttle*
<DeathStar> *it floats there, as it begins to turn into a Dark Sigma Shuttle*
<Seraphna> **Montana opens it's chest, and fires tockets at the shuttle**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...excuse me." *turns and then uses Dark Absorption on the liquid Noire shuttle*
<Seraphna> **rockets
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ...Not hard enough. 6He slides his feet apart, the bandages on his left arm burning up in a bright white aura.
<DeathStar> *The shuttle jerks about then begins to get sucked up ; the Liquid Noire jumps ship, and lets the shuttle be sucked upp by Noire as it flies at her*
<DeathStar> <Liquid Noire> .... *reforms into Noire, but with bigger breasts*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...seriously?"
<Seraphna> **Monty punches at the reformed big boobie Noire**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Overcompensating, are we?" *ends the dark Absorption on the shuttle* "Dias, if you would."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias dashes forward, leaping on to the shuttle and then off it, towards Liquid Noire. "Piercing Fist, Holy."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias' left hand flares up as he swings it forward and towards Liquid Noire.
<DeathStar> <Liquid Noire> .... *forms three scythes and and as they take the hit, all three are stabbed into Dias from dark ports; along with the punch from MOntana, Liquid Noire stands still am oment*
<DeathStar> *Then staggers back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dashes forward, rechaging her Dark Absorption and firing it off again*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands sliding a bit as the scythes stick out of him, his left arm smoking and smelling of burnt flesh, blood coming out of the 3 wounds
<DeathStar> <Liquid Noire> ... done...enough... *the liquid core her begins to be suckd into Noire's sucked up and she tries to warp out*
<DeathStar> *it seems the fight being a distraction*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to hold on to the Liquid Noire to keep her from escaping* "Dias, keep ehr from concentrating!"
<DeathStar> *she strains, losing more and more of her liquid body*
<DeathStar> *As she opens a dark port*
<DeathStar> *trying to crawl through it*
<Seraphna> **Monty puts a giant foot in the way**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves towards the liquid body and begins swinging his fists down at it, blood flying out from the scythe wounds
<DeathStar> *she touches the foot a moment, then Dias knocks her ass backwards and she seemingly is defeated*
<DeathStar> *sadly their ride is now in the skies*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *continues the Dakr Absorption until she is finished off*
<Seraphna> **Monty holds out a large hand and moves into full Mech form**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias glances up as he rips the scythes out and begins healing.
<Seraphna> Angela Voice> Monty will give you a boost.
<DeathStar> -meanwhile-
<DeathStar> *the others near the Repliforce fleet, where flying animal shaped ships can be seen*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Seraphna> Angela> ...They're such cute ships...
<DeathStar> *they seem to be battling each other*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> ......But why?
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns, feeling out for Anyata again**
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> No sign of the PAX.
<DeathStar> *she seems to be on the main flag ship - the owl looking ship*
<Seraphna> Angela> Fuck... I think this is a distraction too. And I think they might have intentionally released the shuttle to start a Maverick outbreak.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You believe so?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Maverick?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> A maverick outbreak would be disasterous.
<Seraphna> Angela> Honestly? It's genius if they wanted to keep many of us from looking at the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets land on the owl ship and talk to Cran.
<Seraphna> **Angela sends their creds to the Owl Ship**
<Seraphna> Angela> Alexander, it's us.
<DeathStar> *Cran's face appears, the transmissions looking spotty* Can you... me?
<Seraphna> Angela> Help you? We hope.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id sees if he can clear the transmission up
<Seraphna> Angela> Hear you. Mostly.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Transmission quality is bad, we're working on it."
<Seraphna> **Angela muses and taps something on her wrist pad, the words "MH PROTOCOL" glows on the screen after**
<DeathStar> <Cran> *the transmission clears up a bit* Our transmissions are acting up; we believe an outside force is causing chaos among our troops as they are going Maverick. Alouette has theories, but we think she might have been taken. We are trying to find who has her and her research
<DeathStar> <Cran> You're free to land on my ship.
<Seraphna> Angela> That answers a lot of questions all at once.
<Seraphna> **Angela moves them in for a landing, her Betas flying in defensive formation around the ship**
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> So someone is after her reploid research.
<Seraphna> Angela> If I had to bed it would be your 25ers.
<Seraphna> *bet
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Would the pirates really want that?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> They seem to be going after any advanced tech
<DeathStar> *she puts on a coat over the top half of her wedding dress*
<Seraphna> Angela> An army of robotic near humans that can react and think for themselves? Who wouldn't.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You have a point.
<Seraphna> **Angela lands them and opens the shuttle up for them, sighing as she looks out towards the Epsilon that has started to do something**
<DeathStar> *As they land in the hanger, they find reploids being restrained by others and led off to the brig*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can tell we've stepped into something here.
<Seraphna> Angela> A Maverick Outbreak is always something. But it's likely all to just keep us occupied while they get away with my daughter.
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll get Alouette back. Alright, lets get to the brig.
<Alicia> * CHarlotte seems to have read up on mavericks in the meantime
<DeathStar> -shifting scenes one more time-
<DeathStar> *as Dias, Noire, and Montana fly up into the air, a mysterious figure watches them go from the shadows of the hanger. They turn and observe the Repliforce base and kneel, glancing around the battlefield*
<DeathStar> <Voice> One day one of them will glance down
<Seraphna> **Montana's rear camera focuses slowly**
<DeathStar> *they stick to the shadows to avoid Montana, having waited a bit. After gathering the evidence, they comm someone*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Manor
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm
<DeathStar> *outside, Selena sits down, taking a break*
* ChadWinters` rubs his face a bit.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There was a coded transmission from where Dias and Noire just fought
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Today has been a PSA against the institution of marriage."
<Seraphna> **Talia pants** Lots of heals!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> High level security. I can't track to where it was sent.
<DeathStar> *Gwen puts his ring up*
<ChadWinters`> You got a copy of it? I can have Id look in to it.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> O-Oh.
<DeathStar> *Taiga sends it over*
<Seraphna> Talia> It's okay Gwen, you always has me.
<DeathStar> *Lumi runs onto the scene, startling Selena enough to glance up*
<ChadWinters`> I'll see what I can come up with on it. It'll be too late to do much but it could atleast push in a direction.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I got bad news.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whaa?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> What is it? <Lumi> There's reports that back home, that Celes has re-declared herself Queen and her first action is to see to it that enemy Spirits are no longer allowed into Hapian territory. There's also signs that there are other stuff happening in the other Kingdoms.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Celes, I trusted you!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...that doesn't sound right...and Selena is still here and has not abdicated."
<DeathStar> <Selena> What what what?
<Seraphna> Alita> What in the Spirits...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe its shapeshifters again!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Think it's a shapeshif-yes."
<Seraphna> Alita> It's something. Taiga, I believe you were looking in the wrong place for your replacements.
* ChadWinters` glance at Lumi. 1"That or someone from another reality."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Great. They're trying to start a war on Geyze?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Unless its a clever distraction and the reports are wrong!" *flails*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What could be there that they want?
<Seraphna> Alita> The fate of Geyze is strongly tied to Yggdrassil, and your Centerpoint.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I don't know, but I have to go either way. I have to face my mother.
<Seraphna> Alita> It is why the Serpent keeps attacking us.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We can't not pay attention to that."
<DeathStar> *she stands up* <Selena> I am sorry to leave. *Death bows and moves to leave with her*
<ChadWinters`> To be fair, Geyze has always been at a tipping point. They refuse to see the bigger picture.
<Seraphna> Alita> Selena.
<Seraphna> Alita> I would disguise your Alignment to Death.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You probably want to talk to the headmistress first."
<DeathStar> <Selena> To Death?
<Seraphna> Alita> She will use that to declare you unfit. **she notes Death sticking with her**
<DeathStar> *Neekito glances at the others*
<DeathStar> *Then makes sure Ellie is safe*
<Seraphna> Alita> I should come as well, Aska will not oppose Void's presence.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *hands Selena and the others a wristwatch*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If something goes wrong, use this to get in touch with the Strikers.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh puts hers on.
<Seraphna> Lisa> Whoever your facing is a strategic genius.
<Seraphna> Lisa> They're attacking on every front all at once.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm sure they've been preparing this plan for a while."
<Seraphna> Lisa> Bets that the PAX has issues next.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I expect so."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Erevis should be shoring up their defenses
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Unless something happens to her
<Seraphna> Lisa> I made sure that PAX security got sent a message regardless.
<Seraphna> Lisa> And if Lenneth wasn't watching the wedding I'll eat me shoe.
* ChadWinters` pulls out his datapad, eyeing it. 1"Id, have the Weapons refocus their attention to Earthgov for now."
<DeathStar> <Selena> oood luck. We will try to return as soon as we can.
<DeathStar> *She bows and uses the teleporter to return to the Academy*
<DeathStar> *Gwen and the spirits look around; it seems like a normal day here*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll go check on things. *he hurries off*
<Seraphna> Lisa> The question is what they really want. I doubt a half repaired PAX is their ultimate goal when they apparently have dozens...
<Seraphna> **Lisa muses, then heads off to wherever it is she came from over all this time**
<ChadWinters`> I imagine it's nothing more than to delay us.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gwen?"
<Seraphna> Lisa> Yep.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Yes?
<DeathStar> *he glances back*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...where are you going?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I want to make sure the reports about the Amazons are okay.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And if they say Celes is okay
<DeathStar> *The Spirits begin to split up*
<Seraphna> **Talia hops on his shoulder**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK, I'll be here."
<DeathStar> *Selena heads for Sasha*
<Seraphna> **Alita peers to the spirits** You should each return to your home countries for now.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "*is in her office*
<Seraphna> Alita> I am unsure if there are plans to attack you, but for now not lighting fires is the best we can do.
<DeathStar> <Undine> I was planning on it. <Salamander> Like I want to be near her. *they each go their own way*
<DeathStar> *was Sylph stands by Neekito and Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *casually gropes Ellie and Neekito eyes her, deadpanned*
<Seraphna> **Alita sighs** I remember when Salamander nearly gave everything to save Undine.
<ChadWinters`> Personally, I'd have you spirits flex your powers to make them behave.
<DeathStar> *Selena is in Sasha's office for a bit too long...and soon Rain is seen leading Selena out of Sasha's office, in cuffs*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "*eyes Sylph and decides to be brave, marching over* "You need to stop!"
<DeathStar> *Sylph turns to eye Lana, then blows her away into a tree, then turns back to Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Trouble coming.
<DeathStar> *She takes Ellie and Neekito and zooms back*
<Seraphna> Alita> Rain, what is going on here?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Eeeeee!"
<DeathStar> <Rain> Sorry. Sasha says Selena is under arrest for treason; I am sure this will all be worked out.
<DeathStar> <Rain> *She walks past them toward the Academy's brig*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "For treason? What happened?"
<Sara> * Ellie blinkblinks
<Seraphna> **Alita raises a brow** What are the grounds for treason?
<DeathStar> <Rain> *hands Alita a piece of paper*
<Seraphna> **Alita eyes it**
<DeathStar> *it seems Selena has been neglecting her duties, conspiring with the enemies, leading spirits to war against each other, and other trumped up charges I'll work on tomorrow, time to end this and hurting. And that Celes is resuming the throne*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *stumbles over, having recovered*
<DeathStar> *Sylph keeps Ellie and Neekito hidden, not trusting this situation*
<Seraphna> **Alita shakes her head at the obvious bullshit, and definitely peers towards Sasha's office, she starts making contacts, and soon returns to Void's temple**
<DeathStar> *Gwen returns, out of breath*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We got trouble
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Celes has resumed her Queendom along with Liana.
<Seraphna> **Alita pauses** More?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Qui confirmed it.
<Seraphna> Alita> Yes, we know. Sasha just had Selena arrested.
<Seraphna> **Alita hands him the obviously trumped up charges**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And they're putting pressure on the other kingdoms. It's not good
<DeathStar> *he eyes it* <Gwen> They're going to start problems.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...must be shapeshifters again..."
<Seraphna> Alita> I know. They're about to find out why this foolish cycle needs to end.
<DeathStar> *Gwen flails* I'll go grab Sparkling and we'll march!
