<DeathStar> Date: 10-644.7.24
<DeathStar> Location: Area Around Geyze - PAX
<DeathStar> *Due to the group's investigation going into Reality 25, and the Strikers retrieving what PAX's they could as well as a few other powerful ships of Line's fleet while encountering Cheryl 25 who managed to gain a few of her own PAX's, Noire became convinced that her weakness was Spirit Tech/Spirits (Cont)
<DeathStar> *Due to this, she had the Strikers move the fleet over to the Dual Planets to begin add Spirit tech to the ships through Ymir and Tora over the past few days and in the hopes tht Cheryl 25 will not attack there. However, not everything has been smooth sailing*
<DeathStar> *Lenneth walks along the corridors of the PAX, glancing outside the window of their own PAX* I'll be needing to go to the Legislation building in a few. It looks like word has gotten out about the "multitude of PAXes" that we now have in the Suisen's possession. And the other race's are not happy.
<DeathStar> *Erevis is walking along beside her, peering outside at the work being done on the other PAX's by the Kumen techs, the Aquarius and Mew Mew up in space helping protect them while the work is being done*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Funny how they build entire fleets but only seem upset when we do it.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I believe it is due to the sheer firepower of the Progenitor ship. We know what the PAX can do - it's connected the entire galaxy together. Now we have 9 of them.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Do we bother telling them about the reality stuff?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I suppose the correct thing would be to return them to their proper realities after we're done with them, assuming they survive.
<Seraphna> Jaime> The other races will probably chill when they’re gone.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Once something is here, it difficult to let it go.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And that’s why we’re in charge. We can.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> While I'm there, Erevis and Xanatos are in charge if something happens.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I was about to say I cannot relate, but I can."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth teleports herself to the Legislation building, and Erevis pauses a moment, then quietly heads for the bridge*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I think people would understand... except that would mean telling them about Evil Cheryl, and that's not a good idea."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright, lets just keep our eyes open
<Seraphna> Jaime> They do tend to conflate things.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan walks with Erevis
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session600
<DeathStar> *Erevis takes a seat on the bridge and leans back, with Syiean monitoring things*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm sure they'll definitely not hear about an evil Cheryl and come for ours.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Everything looks peaceful. <Erevis> Even if that is the case. *She motions at the Suisen Holonet* Hit pieces about us are already appearing - no, I correct myself, opinion pieces now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That negatively talks about the situation. And everyone has an opinion.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Yet we’re on the 55th version of Cran.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'm sure the Cartel will spin things saying we're trying to take over the universe anyway."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No, I'm going to do that.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I just need to deal with the threats first
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Jaime> Didn’t all three major powers each try to do that at one point?
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Song 1: A Typical Day
<DeathStar> *Gwen stands at the Academy, eyeing all the ships that can partially be seen in the clear skies*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... I don't like it. *otherwise, it's a normal day with all the summer classes occuring, students moving about past him*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Why is everyone up in space around our planet.
<Dias`> <Id> They haven't said anything? It floats next to Lana
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Something about staging a battle here due to the spirits
<DeathStar> *Sylph eats on her candy*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Probably something about... right, the spirits."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well... ahhh... more like off near Geyze, but not actually around it."
<Seraphna> Talia> I’d kinda pretty though.
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's due to that evil Cheryl I'm told. <Selena> You find all the ships pretty?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "No reason not to."
<Seraphna> Talia> Like shiny gems in sky.
<Dias`> <Id> I'm surprsied they haven't asked anyone here to help them.
<DeathStar> Song 2: Calm Before the Storm 1
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. How do you think we could help with ships?
<DeathStar> *She glances at the sky
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Spirit tech, I am guessing."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I could fly us up there.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Help, with ships, or help with ships?"
<Dias`> <Id> That and I do not imagine it'll remain a ship battle for long.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Spirit tech would be very helpful, but there are only so many spirits."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What makes you think there will be any fighting here?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Truthfully I'm not certain what impact we could make.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Aren't they going to like another universe?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I want to say Id's wrong. I really want to... but look at where Yggdrasil is."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's basically right next door."
<Dias`> <Id> Fighting tends to spill over. And if the 25th Cheryl wanted to increase her odds of winning, she'll spread their forces thing
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Why does talking to this thing always depress me?
<Dias`> <Id> I apologize. You will not be asked to do any fighting.
<Seraphna> Talia> Demon Ball uses depression curses
<DeathStar> <Celes> Realistically
<DeathStar> <Celes> They would not be building right near us if not for a reason.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I would not be shocked if some of us were not asked to go join them.
<DeathStar> Song 3: Calm Before the Storm 2
<Seraphna> Talia> Gwen could beat up any baddies.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Uh, didn't this like blonde Cheryl try to erase Geyze?
<DeathStar> *Selena cups her hands, staring at the sky, squinting at something*
<Seraphna> Talia> The evil one.Earth people spanked her.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?" *adjusts her glasses then squints*
<DeathStar> *There seems to be something a little off about the sky*
<Alicia> * Sparkling wanders over, noticing Selena
<Seraphna> Talia> Sky off, even with ships.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... *Crosses her arms* We should move closer to the buildings. Staring at the sky too hard can hurt your eyes. *she sounds worried, pulling Selena toward Sasha's pyramid*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Something's happening then."
<Dias`> <Id> Perhaps you should power up the Pyramid to help fight.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Where are Melodie and Aimee?"
<Seraphna> Talia> We be okay if in danger though. Just do what I do and hide in Lana boobs.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We can't all hide there! Nor should we!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> They should be with the Mew Mew. I think.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I hope they're alright."
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have a weird tickle on the back of my neck.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> Song 4: Reality is Bending
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits at her bar, drinking*
<DeathStar> *pretty much tuning out things happening outside*
<Seraphna> Luci> Drinking more lately?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm annoyed. *she taps the paperwork of people wanting her team to investigate the shady Vice President, waiting to see how she reacts to CAssandra running, all these ships being in space near them, and more*
<Xanatos> <Logan> May as well drink if this is the end of the world.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't like how things--- *As she says that, there's a rumbling outside*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *leanign agaisn the bar as typical* "...and now you've gone and jinxed it."
<DeathStar> *Asarar grabs her coat and steps outside with her drink*
<Seraphna> Luci> End of the world ahead of schedule? Damn kids.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie follows in her human form and whistles*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *heads out the door*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan knocks back the rest of his drink and follows after, grabbing his gun.
<DeathStar> *There's smoke rising as it looks like part of the Macross HQ, all the way down to the lower levels, has been done in by something; debris has been scattered and people are fleeing on levels of the Kumen City*
<Seraphna> **Luci frowns, worriedly calling Ymir**
<DeathStar> Song 5 - The 25's Army's Invades
<DeathStar> *Ymir answers, staticy, it looks like she ackowledges from space*
<Seraphna> Luci> Macross HQ was just hit bad by something. We've got trouble dear.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Alright, team gear up and defend our territory."
<DeathStar> *suddenly, it looks like all over the city on multiple levels are various figures in strange reality like aura, moving about the remants of Macross HQ, moving into what remains to destroy it. They look like like regular soldiers, but the aura seems off*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't like the look of that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Smells fishy.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *heads inside to change*
<DeathStar> *Barry grabs a shotgun and cocks it*
<Seraphna> **Luci grumbles and tosses on her coat**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets carefully head in.
<Jackieness> 2<12Kira Seto2> *coems back out, ready to go full ninja*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *coems back out, ready to go full ninja*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go in.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes reports on Geyze and Kumen of a massive army appearing out of nowhere. Ymir begins to head back with the Mew Mew, leaving the Aquarius behind to help protect the PAXes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This seems strange. So far it remains quiet up here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We appear to have not considered that reality breaches in atmosphere are relatively simple.
<Xanatos> <Xan> So they just...appeared? No teleport signatures or anything?
<DeathStar> Song 6 - Reality Army
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will get in touch with Taiga. She should be nearby. How did they manage to do that? *She tries to raise her, the Strikers being stationed nearby*
<DeathStar> *after a moment or two, Taiga's face appears. It seems she was gearing up* <Taiga> I been running simulations, I know what you're going to ask.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Probably through their new ally. We've never been able to detect it's movements.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> All I can figure is it's our fault is when we went over there, we stepped into her domain. But her new ally might have had a hand in it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I wish we knew more about this "ally".
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Other than Fate being scared of it and trying to aim Dias at it.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> What should we do? Should we move closer or run away?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances at Erevis and then look at Taiga on screen.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I can tell you that it drives telepaths near me insane while I'm under its affects, also it seems to like giving me terrifying visions of the apocolypse.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is hard to tell which way a trap will be sprung but you are the fleet commander
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So far it looks like just the army is present.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm not detecting Cheryl or that thing
<Xanatos> <Xan> I don't like leaving people alone. It probably plays into her hand but we should help.
<Seraphna> Jaime> An initial breach, they're testing our defenses.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I wonder if that is good or bad."
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Alright, I'll begin trying to link all the PAXes to our PAX.
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits down* Allow me.
<DeathStar> --SCENESHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Song 7 - Battle for the Prime Universe
<DeathStar> *The school has been flooded with a massive amount of soldiers, led by a powerful one with Cheryl's logo, having a helmet on that seems to fit poorly on their head and armor that looks mismatched for their body*
<DeathStar> *The soldiers are going all over the place, chasing students and attacking*
<DeathStar> *while some are marching for the pyramid*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ...
<Seraphna> **Talia sends out a call for help through her Mistress** I let Momma and Void know what's happening.
<DeathStar> *Death/Shin appears out of the shadows and begins to touch kill soldiers, despite their reality aura and begins to go through them rapidly, until suddenly a soldier aims something and she drops dead in her tracks and falls over*
<DeathStar> *a soldier lifts their weapon to take Death's head off*
<Seraphna> **Talia muses, then blasts that soldier with a Familiar Blast**
<DeathStar> *They peer up, spotting Talia*
<Dias`> <Id> I will begin to let other's know what's happening here.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix blasts out from his spot to fire shots at the soldier going for Death.
<DeathStar> *That soldier goes flying*
<DeathStar> *The lead soldier stares at Bix*
<DeathStar> *observing him*
<Seraphna> **Talia huffs, then chants and sends a fireball at some of the soldiers**
<DeathStar> *Gwen rushes out with his swords and begins to stab and slash soldiers*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *weaves ehr ethereal console into existence and scans the soldiers to look for a weakness*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stops to stare and then kneels to pick up Death and pull her body back to the side.
<Seraphna> **Talia joins him, Familiar Blade out**
<DeathStar> *Sylph floats about, trying to use wind on the soldiers; Talia's and Sylph's attacks do seem to hurt them, but the soldier's anti spirit weapons seem to drop Sylph rapidly and Talia would sense if she gets hit once, she'd drop*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps out, spear in hand and begins to cast ice spells at soldiers, throwing big ice spears and dropping spikey hails
<Alicia> * Sparkling joins the fight, firing on the Cheryl Soldiers
<DeathStar> *Celes joins Selena in using their swords to attack the reality aura filled soldiers; they seem to be made faster and stronger*
<Seraphna> **Alita appears, joined with Undine and sends a wave of water out at the Soldiers**
<Dias`> 6Id floats behind Simon, restoring any lost spirit power.
<DeathStar> *one soldier, as Sparkling drops one, zooms in at her quickly, trying to stab her*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh pauses, before launching a magic missile, striking the stabbing soldier
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh sends the soldier flying as Undine drowns a few*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *then tries to weave a spell to disrupt the reality aura of a group of soldiers*
<Seraphna> Alita> Summoni Students! Summon your strongest spirit and defend your school! **she calls out while sending another blast of water out at more soldiers**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Something feels wrong about all this..."
<DeathStar> *As the students join the battle, the lead soldier crosses his arms, watching*
<Seraphna> Talia> Very, but those weapons very real!
<DeathStar> Song 8 - Battle G
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Yeah, I'm quite sure they'd like us dead
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh! Try to KO the lead soldier with the overzied helmet!"
<DeathStar> *he stabs another as Sylph and Death recover*
<Alicia> * Sparkling focuses on the leader
<DeathStar> *The Lead Soldier pauses, grabbing the helmet, as if saying "Really?"
<DeathStar> *At that moment, all the osldiers, even the ones killed, jerk and rise up*
<DeathStar> *As if revived*
<DeathStar> *they begin to advance again*
<Seraphna> **Alita glowers towards the leader and holds out her book, chanting as she summons a meteor swarm at him and the soldiers near him** Foul trick, take this!
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... what in the spirits? <Celes> They are moving again even with horrid wounds
<Alicia> * Sparkling launches a magical beam at the Lead Soldier, regardless
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...is this necromancy?"
<DeathStar> *The lead soldier holds out their hand and knocks the beam away, sending it flying toward Celes, knocking her out*
<Seraphna> Talia> No, that reality stuff!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...I think their reality is being reset."
<DeathStar> *The soldiers begin to attack Selena, trying to over power her, forcing her back, while another set leap for Alita and Undine*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You need to get the helmet away from them!"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Hey! No fair!" *continues to focus fire, actually aiming at the helmet now*
<Seraphna> **Alita twirls and draws Void's Blade, slicing at the soldiers, combining void and water into a torrent**
<DeathStar> *the lead soldier ducks the beam and zooms in, appearing in front of Sparkling and suddenly punches her before she realizes, sending her flyhing up into the sky*
<DeathStar> <Lead Soldier> ... *stretches*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... Uh..
<DeathStar> *peers up*
<Seraphna> **Talia blinks, then reaches out a hand and tries draining some of the soldiers**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *raises her hands and then weaves a debuff marker, casting it at the lead soldier*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh attempts to revive Death, figuring she'd be the most helpful
<DeathStar> *as more soldiers drop again, Alita doing her thing, Death staggering to her feet and Lana drawing aggro of the Lead Soldier, Gwen tries to slash him and gets backhanded into a tree*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves to help heal Sylph. BIX starts to circle the lead guy.
<Seraphna> **Talia redirtects what she drains into a healing spell for Gwen, Alita forming a Spirit Shield around Lana**
<Dias`> 6Id floats over to Death and moves to feed her spirit energy.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to identify the Lead Soldier as she performs healing duty
<DeathStar> Song Side - Gundamn Vocal or Bix Daft Punk - whichever you'd like
<DeathStar> *the Lead Soldier focuses on Bix now and bounces in place and throws a punch at his head*
<DeathStar> *hard enough to knock it off*
<DeathStar> *Death leaps and vanishes, perhaps moving closer*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix's shoulder thruster activates to slide him to the right, his elbow thruster activating to send a punch in for the side.
<DeathStar> *Gwen tries to get in now too*
<DeathStar> *The helmet is cracked a bit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *weaves another effect, trying to weaken the reality helmet*
<DeathStar> *The soldiers do their revival thing again and Gwen just cuts one's head off*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Stop it!
<DeathStar> *hacks at him*
<Seraphna> **Alita forms void, shade and water mixed and sends a wave through the rising soldiers** Be swallowed by the fathomless depths!
<Xanatos> 6* Bix leaps back, throwing a big fire blast out for the leader.
<Alicia> * Up in the sky, magic gathers, before beaming down towards the reality helmet wearer
<DeathStar> <Selena> Did you need all of that?
<DeathStar> *she eyes the soldiers*
<Seraphna> Alita> I'm hoping enough drain power will keep them from rising... there has to be a limit to this. They aren't in her reality.
<DeathStar> *Bix and Sparkling combo the lead soldier and they fly back*
<DeathStar> *the person rises up, smoking* <????> Ah, man, thanks. Now I can hear and see much better
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 stands there, smoking*
<Alicia> * Sparkling flies back towards the ground, glowing wings of magic emitting from her back
<DeathStar> <Gwen> W-W-What nop?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ahhh... oh no..."
<Seraphna> Alita> I see... so Darkness will not aid against him.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh....?"
<DeathStar> *Death rises up behind the other Dias and stabs him in the back*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "D-Dias..."
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> ... *Turns back and grabs her*
<Seraphna> Alita> ...He appears too stupid to die.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Accurate."
<DeathStar> Song 9 - Hidden Song
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 crushes Death in his hands slowly*
<Seraphna> Alita> Nevertheless... **she focuses and whispers to Void, calling on a power to lance at Dias 25** No you don't.
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> I never beaten Death before.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX jerks and blasts forward to shouldercheck dias.
<DeathStar> *Void looks annoyed at all this, especially at Dias*
<Seraphna> Alita> We must cancel him my Lord.
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 is hit enough to let him go and grabs Bix in a bear like hug for am oment, then suddenly there's a ripping sound and Bix is hit, and hit again and again and again by his own arms*
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 just clubbing him*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *starts typing* "Dear Mr. President... evil you just appeared on Geyze. Please punch him... ummmm...signed Lana."
<DeathStar> *Selena and Gwen leaps in and slash at Dias 25 in a cross X motion to try to get Dias 25 to let go*
<Seraphna> **Talia darts in with a cross to that X, slicing with pure mana**
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 finally jerks back, his grip letting go*
<Seraphna> Talia> Mean bully!
<Xanatos> 6* BIX stumbles back and then falls onto his back.
<DeathStar> *Death stabs Dias with her scythe to try to weaken him for a moment*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We need to do something - can we move him elsewhere?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon thinks
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Can we warp him away from the school?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could we reason with him?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What could he be reasoned with?
<Seraphna> Talia> Only if he was good guy. Meany attacking school!
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 begins to do stretches, looking like he's having fun*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Can't we try?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> S-Sure. Give it a try
<Seraphna> Alita> Dias of the 25th reality, do you find this amusing?
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> Sure! I love fighting strong people. *he approaches them slowly*
<Seraphna> Alita> Do you normally fight children and schoolteachers?
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> If they're strong
<Seraphna> Alita> Do you normally kill children?
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> If they lose
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I thought Cheryl was strong..."
<Seraphna> **Alita tilts her head** Do you imagine yourself a hero?
<Dias`> *Lana get's a very rudimentary message back* "Stall and we'll be on our way. That or go beyond."
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> ... *pauses at that, then tilts his head* What does fighting have to do with being a hero?
<Seraphna> Alita> A hero only fights to protect others.
<DeathStar> *he sizes up SAsha's pyramid, then begins to lift it up*
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> I fight to become the strongest.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Eeeeee!"
<Seraphna> Alita> Then you may have found yourself the villain.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Isn't Cheryl stronger than you?"
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> That's why I got to level up
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> So I can beat her
<Seraphna> Alita> You'll never beat her as her attack dog.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...then why attack innocent children?!"
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> ... *eyes the two, then lifting up the entire pyramid, tosses it at them*
<Seraphna> **Alita grabs Sparking and warps them away from the landing zone**
<Seraphna> Alita> Weakling.
<DeathStar> *it smashes down and shakes the area. Selena curses; Dias 25 appears in front of Alita and goes to punch her into space, when Void and Undine block the attakc, both spirits sent in opposite ways*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's wrong with you? Do you hate what we say that much?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *activates the flight systems*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm.
<Seraphna> Alita> **reaches out to link with the two as they fly and boosts them, looking at Dias** Strength is more than your ability to harm innocent people.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon begins to form runes.
<Seraphna> **Alita exudes something, since he's so close**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comm* "I caleld for help. We need to stall this maniac!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Fine
<DeathStar> *She goes half-spirit*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Lets give him everyhting we have then
<DeathStar> *Dias 25's right hand begins to glow*
<DeathStar> *Holding it out*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to focus as she weaves alarge debuff to try to reduce Dias 25's attack power*
<Seraphna> **Alita steps into his shadow and out some distance away, still with Shade**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon activates spell after spell, enhancing himself and he runs towards Dias at double speeds, stabbing with his spear at double strength.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Don't you want to stop Cheryl?" *holds out her wand, glowing with magic, ready to counter whatever Dias tries*
<Seraphna> **Talia crackles with mana, having been building up with all that, and unleashes her own blast of Mana energy**
<DeathStar> *Selena zooms and unleashes a light barrage as well*
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 moves to grab at the spear, the spear knocking him back even as he attempts to grab it and is knocked backward and barraged, bleeding*
<DeathStar> *At that moment, Dias and MArcus arrive at the scene*
<DeathStar> *behind everyone else*
<DeathStar> *Gwen throws his sword to hit Dias on the head uselesslhy*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Take that!
<Seraphna> **Alita works to restore and buff up Void and Undine from safety, panting since all that distraction took a lot of effort**
<Alicia> * Sparkling blasts Dias as he grabs the spear, adding to the knock back attacks
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks over Dias and nods, his forms turning to pure ice before shattering. Multiple Simon's appear around Dias stabbing at him with icey spears.
<Seraphna> Talia> Go Gwen!
<Dias`> 6Dias sizes up his 25th counterpart and looks at Marcus. 1"Let's see what you've learned." 6He begins stretching
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Alright, our Dias has arrived! We're saved!"
<DeathStar> *Selena begins to continue with her attacks*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What I've learned is you're a chump, they're beating you up over there.
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 explodes out of the ground*
<DeathStar> *all iced*
<Dias`> <Dias> Right? I don't understand why the paranoid one that needs to shower more asked for my help. 6He loosens his tie.
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> Cool
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I shower plenty..."
<Dias`> <Dias> I will say, he does show promise though. 6He whistles loudly at the other Dias
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus' bones crack and pop as his limbs grow, he rips at his face, pulling skin off to reveal the werewolf snout underneath.
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 turns, and spots Marcus* Now he might be interesting
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... I feel useless.
<Seraphna> Alita> Well, this is becoming weird.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon's duplicates shatter around the dias 25 and Simon steps up by Gwen, patting him on the shoulder.
<DeathStar> *He picks up his sword, and Selena*
<DeathStar> *while this is going on, the spirits appear*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Adeline< The other PAXes now will follow our PAX's command
<DeathStar> *she demonstrates by showing that they can control any of the 9 other PAX's through their system*
<DeathStar> *by now the Striker has arrived on the scene, joining the Aquarius as well as the 7 other super ships that Line has located. Line comms from one of the other Aquarius, having transferred herself to one* <Line> All systems check out here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If things are heating up on the ground and there's no sign of her, she'll probably appear with her own.
<DeathStar> *alarms begin to go off and suddenly the 4 PAX ships that Cheryl managed to retrieve appear, as well as a few other ships; all of them have a strange Aura about them*
<DeathStar> Song 10 - Battle S
<Seraphna> Jaime> I demand a prize.
<Xanatos> <Xan> All hands on deck. This is going to be a doozie
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You get a no prize.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Awww.
<Seraphna> Jaime> WHat's that weird aura about? The ground was reporting it around the soldiers too.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hmm." *tries to identify the aura*
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> I am unable to anaylze the aura about them. I have Kaori here, I'm going to take samples and see if it matches up with her power.
<Xanatos> <Xan> While you all work on the aura, let's spread out, we have the numbers. Focus fire on one at a time and we'll have the win before too long.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If it's reality power, maybe she can cancel it out.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be unidentifyable right now*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I leave it to you, Taiga."
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> If it is like her power, we should bring mom into this. Even if she is afraid to face the other her.
<DeathStar> *Erevis drums her fingers* If it is like that power, I wonder...
<DeathStar> *Syiean begins to pick the first of the 4 Aura PAXes, firing at it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No, I imagine it would be impossible to put the Emerald Sword into the shield system.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sorry, what?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *on the Striker* "Mmmmm...we have to consider that she might use her reality powers to keep her PAXes in fighting shape, even if we do have the numerical advantage."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You sure? Sam can usually put anything into it given the time.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was just a thought. It is a relic with massive power that is reality based. It could give us an edge, but it could also destroy us
<Seraphna> Jaime> If she is Cheryl... there should be a point we can overwhelm her processes.
<DeathStar> *The battle begins, as both sides begin to near each other; the other 3 Aura Ships begin to try swarp the PAXes, finding them the main threat, attacking right away.*
<DeathStar> *the one Aura SHIP trades blows with the Aquarius and their ship*
<DeathStar> Song 11 - A Sky Full of PAXes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, what are the chances of us taking at least one of those PAXes from them?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan has 1 PAX each pair up in a defensive pattern and then the remaining 6 focus on one unloading big attacks.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> Very low. With that aura that I'm still studying>
<DeathStar> <TAiga on comm> Even though we out number them, we need to see what tricks they have up their sleeve.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should probably send them some curveballs then.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, focusing in space to prepare an attack**
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'll keep the ships engaged, anything fancy to be done other than that is all up to you all.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... then we need to do soemthing about that aura first."
<DeathStar> *suddenly, the Aura PAXes begin to charge them while firing*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Look out, they are going for ramming speed.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What the fuck. Pull back, all ships focus on the front ship.
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, focusing and sending a hyper rock towards one of their bridges while they're committed to that speed**
<DeathStar> *Syiean pulls back immediately*
<DeathStar> *As does Line in the one ship she's in*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans forward, watching the 4 Aura PAXes go right for the 8 PAXes, in ramming speed; so far the Aquarius has been considered not a target yet it seems*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Bored.
<Seraphna> Cookie> They're very confident. I don't like that Aura at all.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Focus on their support ships unless PAX command requests our assistance."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Seems weird for surew.
<DeathStar> *The rock partially does good damage to the one Aura PAX, and then the PAXes blow up two immediately with their guns*
<DeathStar> *And the other two smash into the 8 do moderate damage*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So it's over?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...surely not?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Nah. Makes no sense.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Not likely. "Prepare a strafing run before they have recovered form their attack."
<DeathStar> *the Aura PAXes reform right in range of the 8 PAXes again*
<Seraphna> Cookie> See, there you go. Reality cheaters.
<DeathStar> *They begin to open fire while there*
<DeathStar> *while in ramming range once more*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Begin our run."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Right. Lets do it, Pepper Cookie
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yep! **she brings them in for a strafing run**
<DeathStar> *Mireille sinks into the spirit chamber*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Weapons ready
<DeathStar> Song - Andrea Bird Roma Fade
<Seraphna> Cookie> Eat Spirit, you alternate reality meanie pantses.
<DeathStar> *The Spirit Weapons charge to full*
<DeathStar> *the ramming takes out 3 PAXes and does no damage to the other, as they reform again*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Geeze, they plan to just keep doing taht
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Prepare to evade if they have any surprises. And... go/
<Jackieness> "
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper begins to unload as many weapon attacks as she can without overloading Mire
<Seraphna> **Cookie's eyes go fuzzy as she keeps aware of their immediate future as they fly in**
<DeathStar> *one of the 4 moves to take on the Aquarius as their spirit weapons manage to seem to do something to the aura for a moment*
<DeathStar> *the giant PAX coming in on the Aquarius, blotting out the sky*
<Seraphna> Cookie> **starts moving them away preemphatively, outmanuvering**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We have their attention. *alarms go off as weapon lock is incurred*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Evasice maneuvers. Did you see that? The aura was disrupted."
<Jackieness> evasive
<DeathStar> <Ben> I have noted and have systems anaylzing
<Seraphna> **Cookie goes full Ace of Spades to evade**
<DeathStar> *the weapons charge*
<DeathStar> 8
<DeathStar> 7
<Seraphna> Cookie> Too many vectors!
<DeathStar> 6
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper is strangely quiet as she focuses, looking for weakpoints based on what they know of this PAX, firing.
<DeathStar> *The aura disrupts again*
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> <Ben> PReparing jump
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Jump to hyperspace."
<DeathStar> *he inputs it*
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> **Cookie banks and esets the jump, hitting it**
<Seraphna> **sets**
<DeathStar> *They jump as alarms go off and they bounce through hyperspace*
<DeathStar> *go along the edges and get away*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Gahhhhh 6* He holds on
<DeathStar> *Ben grips his console and Yuki's tail wraps around the chair as they as they exit a system away*
<Seraphna> Cookie> WE're gonna... have to do shoot and move manuvers if we want to keep doing that. There's no way to dodge that many cannons even with precognition.
<DeathStar> <Ben> The PAX is so large with so many weapons
<DeathStar> <Ben> We'll have to figure out a way to become even more nible
<DeathStar> <Ben> That will mean taxing Mireille to the limit
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We did learn something potentially valuable. Keep on those numbers, Ben."
<Seraphna> Cookie> What about those new upgrades?
<DeathStar> <Ben> I could unlock everything. But the taxing of the systems would mean we could fry Mireille in minutes without someone in the chamber
<DeathStar> <Ben> We're fighting a PAX
<Seraphna> Cookie> True... I take it we don't wanna risk Erica in there again of course.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I could enter I suppose.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The data we collect from the engagement is the most valuable thing, not the damage we inflict."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> My little bit of reality power might even help
<Seraphna> Cookie> True, did we get it to Taiga?
<DeathStar> <Ben> I sent it over.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Seems Ymir was correct about the Spirit Energy.
<DeathStar> *Yuki kneels by the chamber* Alright, let me prepare here before we go back.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We could try to target weapon systems but they repaired themselves after destructions, we need to do something permanent.
<DeathStar> <Ben> Alright, let me draw up a attack vector for you Pepper.
<DeathStar> <Ben> Something that could do more damage.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Okay, no becoming the ship though Yuyu.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Taiga on Comms> It looks like it is made up of realit aura. I've sent an order for Cheryl to get her butt over here. Darien and Ariel are flying her here now.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> The Aquarius did disrupt it a moment before they were run off. <Line> I'm losing PAXes too fast here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah that part is obvious after they reformed like a weird mud castle.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We need to disrupt it permanently."
<DeathStar> *The 4 PAXes seem to be reforming and continuing their assualt*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or just destroy them while they're disrupted.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *comm* "Mmmmmm... I suggest we pair up our PAXes and disperse the pairs. Keep them on a chase."
<DeathStar> *another round of damaged, destroyed, damaged, nothing* with the remaining 4*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah they're using out formation against us.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> We're already doing that
<Jackieness> <Noire> *comm* "Cheryl's powers diminish by range as well."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Line I think we need to do hit and run tactics, until we can figure out how to take them out completely.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jikuu. Give Drasek the Emerald Sword to put in the core.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can't we set up something to hit them as they reform?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> *comm* "PAX-class vessels are not aprticularly suited for hit and run."
<Alicia> * Jikuu pauses, then nods, handing it off.
<DeathStar> *The Aura PAXes Reform*
<DeathStar> Song 12: Paw Paw
<Xanatos> <Xan> Until the aura is dealt with we don't have a choice, full retreat if we have too, we can't just stay put and let them keep overwhelming us.
<DeathStar> *something begins to fly up from Kumen, looking horrific as it's half built*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What the heck?
<DeathStar> *the ship seems to be like a cat that's half built, looking like a horrific mangled cat.*
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans forward* <Erevis> .. Who's ship is that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I swear...I think it may be the idol ship."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is that... Athena's ship?
<Alicia> * Jikuu smiles. "I think it is."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what can it do? It's not Dark Ones?
<DeathStar> *it is
<Seraphna> Jaime> No, but it is a force of will against another.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....Athena. 6* He crosses his arms.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I believe in you, Athena, Victy..."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Are Reikana and Thena also there?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> We have to support her, stop runnign and fight at least until they do what they're going to do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I doubt they will accept transmissions
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh yeah.
<Xanatos> <Xan> If it doesn't work back to the running.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How will she get them to hear musics?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's Athena. She found a way.
<DeathStar> *As the mangled cat ship creeps up to the Aura PAXes*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Given that bunch, refusing transmission is not even an option."
<DeathStar> *The mangled cat begins to lift it's PAXs and begins to send out vibrations into space*
<DeathStar> *forming a sort of bubble*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...It's literally sending out VIBES.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Can one hear sound in space?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "They found a way."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorta, if vibrations hit your hull, the sound should transfer.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Like... those cans on a string.
<DeathStar> *Line's PAX has formed up with their PAX*
<DeathStar> *To try to protect each other8
<DeathStar> *oddly, the Aura PAXes', either through bad luck or the music form the Idols, fails to destroy the remaining PAXes, so they turn toward their PAX and Line's*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I think the enemy has decided we're the problem now
<Xanatos> <Xan> I wonder if they could reform from a black hole?
<DeathStar> *they charge Xanatos and Line with their kamakizee attack*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh... now or never on one of Mom's cannons.
<DeathStar> <Ao in engineering> We have your sword uh... jerry rigged.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sends another Hyper Rock at them as they charge, this time at their side**
<DeathStar> <Ao in engeering> Not sure if it works.
<Alicia> * Jikuu attempts to use her spirit power to form one in front of the charging Aura PAX
<Xanatos> 6* Xan starts to open fire, looking to see if Megumi left him anything to help out.
<Seraphna> Sam> That or it will cause us to cease existing.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Emerald Beam Cannon!"
<Seraphna> Sam> 60... 40 probably?
<DeathStar> *Xanatos still has his black hole gun*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hm, take over for a bit I'm going to go shoot a few black holes, what the hell right?
<Seraphna> **Jaime closes her eyes, sending a telepathic message to warn Athena about the cannon**
<DeathStar> *Their shots begin to tear into the Aura PAXes, chipping away as Darien arrives on the scene in a shuttle with Cheryl and her team*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good luck. Try not to be crazy.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> Song 13 - Battle K
<DeathStar> *Ymir stands on the top tier of the city beside the Mew Mew, staring at the wreckage and the army all over the place*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> .... <Asarar> We're not professional soldiers. *She stares at the army taking up vantage points all over the city*
<DeathStar> *Asarar throws back a drink*
<Seraphna> Luci> Well, can't let them take our home either way.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Are the towers still intact?
<Seraphna> Luci> Only saw HQ go up in flames.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "They started at the center."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do we have a secret android army? That would help right about now.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> We need to make sure Gale is okay, then have her contact the rest of the spirits on Kumen
<Seraphna> Luci> We got intel that she teamed up with a more evil you, so they probably know about the towers. But... I'm pretty sure yours work different than hers.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> If they're okay, we can have them power up the Towers and repel the army on here and ... *points at the sky* Do something about the enemy in space.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Any idea their last location?
<Seraphna> **Luci nods and focuses, calling on Gale**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Hope it wasn't HQ.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> She was there, but not all of my HQ is gone thankfully. ... Just most. *looks bitter*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> That sucks
<Seraphna> Luci> We'll get them back kitten.
<DeathStar> *Gale appears, peeking out Sylph like*
<Seraphna> Luci> Hey Gale. We need the spirits help.
<DeathStar> <Gale> Right. Give me a moment
<DeathStar> *Gale vanishes. As she does, a sniper shot nearly takes Asarar's head off*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Get to cover!"
<DeathStar> *Asarar presses against a wall from what's left of the HQ*
<Seraphna> Luci> HEY! THOSE WINDOWS COST MONEY! **She forms a shield around them**
<DeathStar> *up in the upper levels of the HQ, the aura filled soldiers begin to set up a turret*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Logan... do you have a BFG?"
<Xanatos> 6* Logan blinks
<DeathStar> *Barry aims his shotgun at them and fires*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have this one very small pistol
<Seraphna> Luci> Fuckin' bastards. **She forms a shard blade, then forms a second one on top of the first**
<DeathStar> <Barry> I'll deal with them ba'am.
<DeathStar> *he walks out like a gangster and fires at the soldiers, blaming away at their position*
<Xanatos> <Logan> And an axe! I could...well no. I couldn't get close enough for that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...what the fuck is he doing
<Seraphna> Luci> Being a man.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Getting himself killed is what. *She turns to yell when she sees that Barry has cleared the position* <Barry> There. *He nods to the team*
<Seraphna> Luci> See?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Why do you think we hired him?"
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....
<DeathStar> *suddenly the soldiers revive and grab the turret, shooting Barry up*
<Xanatos> <Logan> SHIT
<Seraphna> Luci> Dude, when you hire a barkeep who only has a single first name and a history in black, you be scary... HEY! **She launches the shard blade at them, it explodes as it reaches them**
<DeathStar> *The soldiers go flying*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Logan, get Barry to cover if he has a chance to survive that!"
<Xanatos> 6* Logan tchs and runs out to try and drag Barry into cover.
<DeathStar> *Asarar stares at Barry's shot up form* Man... he's been around since the beginning. I really liked his drinks
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Time to make them wish they didn't ahve the ability to come back to life." *dashes across toward the HQ*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have a stim but...don't think it'll heal this.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie bounds up as they begin to revive again and smashes one in*
<DeathStar> *Barry hands Logan something shakily and nods to him*
<DeathStar> <Barry> Good man... *urks*
<Seraphna> **LUci tosses Logan her stabilizer, then leaps with Bonnie and spikes one of them as they revive**
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a bloody note on how to mix his drinks*
<Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, you keep reviving just like that bitch.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *ninjas up the building to their sniper nest*
<DeathStar> *Kira comes across another soldiers in the shadows, holding a grenade, waiting to blow both of them up*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan blinks and pockets the note, closing his eyes. He takes Barry's shotgun and checks it's charge.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be practically full*
<DeathStar> *as the spirits arrive, Ymir grabs them and begins to whisper to them*
<Seraphna> **Luci grabs a pipe, doing another one in while occupied**
<DeathStar> Song 14 - Prophecy
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I need you each to go to one of the towers and hook into it
<DeathStar> <Gale> Huh? <Frost> ... Understood. <Ymir> Come on, I'll help you
<DeathStar> *Ymir begins to lead them to tower 1*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *tries to knock the soldier down off the tower*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *Watches Ymir take off* She's taking them to the towers. Didn't intel say it was like the C'en towers?
<DeathStar> *as the soldier falls*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Think so, but maybe that's what we need in this situation? How the hell do you kill an unkillable enemy otherwise?
<Seraphna> Luci> Yeah, though unlike the other version we've seen, it's voluntary.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah, maybe it started that way too
<Seraphna> Luci> Guys. She won't force them.
<Seraphna> Luci> You know what else was different in that other version? I wasn't around.
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes more soldiers around the towers and head from the HQ to help protect the spirits* Alright. IF you say so.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Remember we have to trust our allies until they give a legit reason to not do that.
<DeathStar> *As Logan says that, a blood spot appears on Luci's chest*
<Seraphna> *Luci blinks**
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> You're bleeding Luci. *she points at where her heart is*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks at the spot
<Seraphna> **Luci grabs her stablizer and puts it on herself** Shit.
<DeathStar> *The bleeding slows a bit*
<Seraphna> Luci> I think I need a healer.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....were you... shitting hell...6* He looks around and pulls Luci into cover, putting a healing stim in her.
<DeathStar> *a figure moves off*
<DeathStar> *from up high*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Shooter.
<DeathStar> *Tower 1 goes online, a beam shooting up*
<Seraphna> **Luci shudders** Lucky it was me.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Kira, sniper on the roof. *he comms*
<DeathStar> *As Luci says that, another shot clips her cheek*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I think someone wants you dead,
<Seraphna> Luci> What the fuck I'm in cover...! **she forms a shield around herself** Yeah I can tell.
<DeathStar> *a bullet goes through the cover, near her arm*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *c* "Got it. On my way." *heads up to the sniper nest*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Merowl!
<Xanatos> 6* Logan peeks, trying to get eyes on the sniper.
<Seraphna> Luci> Gotta move out of range, those are some crazy ass bullets.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be some decked out sniper, wearing strange tech*
<DeathStar> *goggles peering right at them*
<DeathStar> *as tower 2 goes online*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I think the fucker can see through cover.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Perfec.t.
<DeathStar> *they turn and begin totrack Kira*
<Seraphna> Luci> I'll worry about who wants to kill me after. ...Asarar. Can we get out of here your way?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Maybe a heat teck or something.
<Xanatos> (tech)
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right give me a second
<DeathStar> *she forms the Net and begins to slide inside*
<DeathStar> *The sniper fires at Kira, even through cover*
<Seraphna> **Luci keeps the stablizer on herself while Logan's stims do their job, she focuses her own energy sans the shield on her Regeneration**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan squints and then shifts to fire his pistol up towards the sniper.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *dashes, moving to get closer without loitering enough for the sniper to clip her*
<DeathStar> *Tower 3 goes on*
<Seraphna> Luci> I say... we try to move to tower 5.
<DeathStar> *Teh sniper pauses, then takes a shot at Logan*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *then leaps, driving her blade toward the joints in the sniper's neck*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan falls over, holding his shoulder.
<DeathStar> *Kira leaps up into a handgun firing at her face*
<Seraphna> LUci> *comms** Hey... does that guy have an aura?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Fuuuuuuuuuck
<Seraphna> **Luci starts dragging Logan in** Hold on buddy... fuck.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pulls out a stim and jabs himself with it.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Hate...that guy
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> You okay?
<DeathStar> *She paw*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Kira needs help.
<Seraphna> Luci> SHe does. I'm gonna be fine as long as I keep my energy on my body fixing itself with the stims.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *uses her blade to try to push the handgun to fire over her head*
<DeathStar> *The figure makes a tch sound, ASarar appearing out of the Net beside them*
<DeathStar> *they begin to rocket up into the air to escape*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan rips his shirt to wrap around his arm.
<Xanatos> (er shoulder)
<DeathStar> *The figure goes to leave Batman villain style as Tower 4 comes online*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You okay, Kira?
<Seraphna> **LUci peers at the person escaping, tempted to form a shield around their rocket, but prefering to live for another day, instead she studies if he has an aura**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "A little irritated. That one was wired."
<DeathStar> *they head toward Tower 5 for now*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We migt run into them again if we bump into them at the final tower, but after that they might hide

<Seraphna> Alita> ...I am growing annoyed.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *counts how many are left*
<DeathStar> *the soldiers begin to do something, spreading out*
<Seraphna> Alita> The gross tactic, we make it so that if they revive again they will not enjoy themselves.
<DeathStar> *Their aura growing larger*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What are they doing?
<DeathStar> <Dias 25> Ending this
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tenses and then he disappears, a crater where he was, and he appears in front of Dias 25 with a big ol wolf punch.
<Seraphna> Alita> Nope, none of that. **she pulls out a book and sends Meteors down at some of them**
<Dias`> <Dias> I imagine nothing good. They're making my skin itch.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Please tell me this isn't conservation of ninjutsu."
<DeathStar> *he gets punched*
<Seraphna> Talia> Momma right, not wait to see what they want to do. Just hit! **she blasts one with Mana**
<DeathStar> *sliding back, Dias 25 claps so loud, everyone goes deaf a moment while Marcus is sent flying*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ARGH
<DeathStar> <Celes> ...
<Seraphna> Talia> MEROWL!
<Dias`> 6Dias takes a step forward and disappears, appearing in one of the soldiers and he swings upwards, sending one flying upwards.
<Alicia> * Sparkling is about to try something, but is distracted by suddenly being deaf
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pushes off of a soldier, flying back at Dias25
<Dias`> 6Dias winces a bit as he looks backwards at Dias 25.
<DeathStar> *The soldiers begin to explode, sending out a terrible burst of energ that destroys everyhting aroun it, at least the ones not taken care of*
<Seraphna> **Alita looks annoyed, but doesn't let her attack up**
<DeathStar> *everything around it wilting away into erasure*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...how dare you."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Terrible
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks and then begins to form runes, aiming to send the what soldiers that are unharmed upward into the sky....on an ice wall.
<Dias`> <Dias> That's a nasty ability.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to bring the pyramid spirit weapons online to attack the soldiers before they cause more danage*
<Seraphna> Alita> ...That... removes the rest of them though?
<DeathStar> *Simon's blow up, erasing tit*
<DeathStar> *As Alita says that, more appear*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" *launches her own blast of energy at 25 Dias*
<Seraphna> Alita> Oh Void Damnit.
<DeathStar> *fresh ones*
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 oofs*
<Seraphna> Talia> We need stop them somehow!
<DeathStar> <Shade> We need to gather all of these soldiers and stop them
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Are they the same soldiers?"
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 rises and dashes at Sparkling, throwing a punch at her to knock her into the next Kingdom*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> They look new
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That's a first
<Seraphna> Alita> So they are finite.
<DeathStar> *The new soldiers begin to charge the team, glowing*
<Alicia> * Sparkling counters with a point-blank blast to knock Dias back
<Dias`> 6Dias disappears and reappears and throws a punch to knock Dias 25 down to the ground so he misses
<Seraphna> **Alita sends out a whirlpool of water, pushing and trying to group the soldiers together**
<Dias`> *intercept his fist*
<Seraphna> **Talia casts fireballs to route them into the water**
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 collides with Sparkling, Dias, and Marcus all at once*
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... is this how fights usually go?
<Seraphna> Alita> The Suicide Blasts are new.
<DeathStar> *The soldiers group up and Selena tries to knock them up into the air where they explode*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus scrambles, biting for Dias25's leg, trying to bite through.
<Dias`> <Dias> No punching ladies.
<DeathStar> *Dias 25's arm extends somehow as he's bit and grabs Dias and MArcus, and begins to swing them around, extendo style*
<Dias`> 6Dias hops backwards, waving his right hand a bit as he starts hopping from side to side.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We must try and...could we pull them into the air into a vortex of air?
<DeathStar> *swinging them into people*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *wolf voice* What the fuck is this
<DeathStar> <Gwen> AAAH
<Xanatos> 6* Simon dives to avoid the dias marcus mallet.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How many soldiers do you think Cheryl has?"
<Dias`> 6Dias is sent a swinging. 1"That's new! OW OW OW 6He begins increasing his mass in an attempt to dig his feet into the ground
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 lets go*
<Alicia> * Sparkling leaps back to avoid a clobbering
<DeathStar> *springing forward as his arm returns ot normal and he begins to pound the ground, it shuffling upward toward everyone near him*
<DeathStar> <Celes> It sounds like we need Sylph or Undine to gather the soldiers
<Seraphna> Alita> This woman is a monster. Sending her slaves like this.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I never liked Cheryl
<DeathStar> *he nods*
<Seraphna> **Alita nods, working with Undine to do so**
<DeathStar> *Undine begins to whirlpool to try to gather soldiers. A few leap onto branches*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comm* "I could sue the pyramid to drag them off of Geyze."
<Seraphna> **Talia blasts at them as they leap**
<Jackieness> use
<Dias`> 6Dias takes in a deep breath and slams his right hand into the ground, a second later a dark purplish pulse cracks along the ground. 1"TABLE TOP FLIP! 6Dias rips his hand upwards sending a wave of broken ground towards Dias 25
<DeathStar> <Gwen> comm* Maybe you could use to fire at them.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That would also keep them away from the reality helmet."
<DeathStar> *Dias 25 grabs it but is sent sliding back*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon throws Ice spears at ones trying to escape the whirlpool.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *Comm> Wait! Lana!
<DeathStar> *Simon drops them into the whirl pool*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *comm* "Ahhhh?"
<Dias`> 6Dias' presence is suddenly felt above Dias 25, as he's crouches against a piece of rock, a grin on his face.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *comm> SHOOT DIAS!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus comes flying from above, fists clasped to slam down towards Dias25
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ok..." *aims for Dias 25 and prepares to fire* "....our Dias is right on top of him.
<DeathStar> *Dias lifts the rock upward, trying to nail them with a rock uppecut*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Wait for it..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *comm> Hey, they'll be fine
<DeathStar> *As the solders are drowned and sent about, Undine flings them into the air to be blown up*
<Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, the piece of rock shattering as he shoots off sideway against another one and comes in at Dias 25's side while Marcus comes in from above
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ideally, the shot hits just as Dias moves out of the shot."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ok..." *aims and preparedto fire on Dias 25*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is flung back by the rock uppercut, sliding across the ground he digs in and starts kicking off to head back for dias25.
<DeathStar> *The PYramid glows, charges, then fires down as Marcus and Dias 25 do an epic Superman/Doomsday punch, hitting each other's face and Dias hits his side*
<DeathStar> *The entire area glowing up and knocking everoyne back, a crater forming beside the academy*
<Dias`> 6Dias plants his left foot into the ground, causing it crack as he hurls his right fist towards 25
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "So cool..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... Did Lana do it? Cause she pulled the trigger. Not me.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *has been focused on Dias fighting Dias* "Oh? Oh."
<DeathStar> *As it clears, there's no sign of Dias 25*
<DeathStar> *And Marcus is in the Yamcha pose*
<Dias`> 6Dias stands there, smoldering, most of his suit gone, along with boxers. He's nude.
<Seraphna> **Talia creeps over and pokes him with a stick**
<Alicia> * Sparkling turns away, blushing
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... huh.
<DeathStar> *stares thoughtfully*
<Dias`> <Dias> Nice punch, Marcus! You hit him so hard you made the area explode!
<DeathStar> *suddenly Dias is smashed into the ground*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus has reverted to his normal human self but his a charred bloody mess from that.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "He's still fighting!"
<Dias`> 6Dias is smashed in to the ground.
<DeathStar> *standing there is Liana's grandfather, holding not only Dias, but the other Dias* Ho ho ho! Two for one!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Dias is smashed into the ground!"
<DeathStar> *He holds both, carrying the nude Dias closer to the girls*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .... *Flees*
<Seraphna> **Talia starts casting Heal Full on Marcus**
<Seraphna> Alita> Ser, I believe the naked one is our ally.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon takes the lull to gather up BIX's arms so they can repair him.
<DeathStar> <Brandr> Is that right? MY bad. *Sets Dias down*
<Dias`> 6Dias' goes to plop down when his feet slams down hard and he stands there, a distant look on his face.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Dias?"
<Seraphna> Alita> The other one is an abomination and if you cannot restrain him I suggest a bath in this system's sun.
<Dias`> 6Dias sneezes as he blinks. 1"What the hell hit me?!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves the Academy pyramid back to its normal position*
<Seraphna> Alita> That would be Dragon Suplexer Baldr.
<DeathStar> <Brandr> *considers* Well, let me see if I can have a talk with him then. *he drags the other Dias with him*
<Dias`> 6Dias squints a bit as he looks at Brandr. 1"Interesting. To think this place was hiding someone as strong as him.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> Song 16: Battle for Prime 2
<DeathStar> *the 4 PAXes seem to be moving in on Line and the main PAX*
<DeathStar> <Athena on the Idol Ship> Any ideas, Idols?
<DeathStar> <Taiga on Strikers> They just keep restoring themselves.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Maybe we can use our song to confuse them."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "What else can we do?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Song about ending war for Love?
<DeathStar> *Darien's ship seems to be hanging to the side* <Darien on comm> I would ask if reality powers can really do much of anything but even with Cheryl on the ship, I'm not sure how much we can do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We have Xanatos preparing to do something and we have the EMerald Sword hooked up to the core. Jaime.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Adeline
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Take charge of the guns and prepare to use the power of the emerald sword to fire at the other PAXes. Do it only as a last resort.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Oh! Watch out for black holes! Jii's using some, and I think Xanatos has something to?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline takes a seat*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, shifting to sit with her**
<DeathStar> *Athena begins to prepare something with the Idol Ship*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "If we could disable their reality power, we could turn the tide..."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is getting suited up and into his shuttle.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can't we shake Kaori at them or something?
<DeathStar> *Darien flies over to join Xanatos. Cheryl staring at him with a dubious look*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Alright here we go. Start playing some tunes girls.
<Seraphna> Angela> Still seems weird to try this considering what she did before.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena will test system,
<Seraphna> **Thena jumps into a harmony about love and ending fights**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan holds up a peace sign at Darien and Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Athena sends out the tunes in the form of a wave attack*
<Dias`> <Chad> I suppose that's why we're here. Just in case something goes wrong.
<DeathStar> *Trying to bring down the aura*
<Alicia> * Victoire starts singing, watching the effects and tuning her song to have the greatest effect as she does
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *goes into her own performance*
<Seraphna> **Thena puts her all into it, somehow sparkling**
<DeathStar> *the aura on one ship drops finally*
<DeathStar> <Line> I will focus on that sihp. <Darien> I'll join you
<DeathStar> *he opens fire on that ship; all the while the 4 PAXes have ganged up on the two ships, trading blows*
<DeathStar> *it seems the Emerald Sword is providing them more protection then Line's*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan latches himself to the top of his shuttle and then uses his datapad to remote steer himself closed to the aura-less PAX, firing one black hole shot for what should be the bridge.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Seems like they are weak against the idol spirit too."
<DeathStar> Side - Xan's song Across the Multiverse
<Seraphna> Jaime> It seems spirit in general disrupts her reality aura.
<DeathStar> *as the blackhole shoots out, it hits the bridge and begins to suck in and pulls it inward*
<DeathStar> *causing massive damage*
<DeathStar> *Megumi pokes her head into the bridge* <Megumi> Mmmm. It seems I am a genius
<DeathStar> *Megumi takes notes*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Of course you are Momma.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pulls his shuttle back lest he get caught in the pull.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But will it revive.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You truly are."
<DeathStar> *The blackhole begins to grow larger and larger*
<DeathStar> *mssively, using the PAX to feed*
<DeathStar> *Darien pulls back, trying to get awaY
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Uh, it's not stopping
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *comm* Well you did eat a PAX
<Seraphna> Jaime> **shifts the engines to pull back**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* THIS THING HAS BEEN IN MY POCKET!
<Seraphna> **Jaime then has the PAX's tractors grab Xan and Darien's ships**
<Dias`> <Chad> Darien, get us away.
<DeathStar> <Darien on comm> Trying to get away now. <Cheryl> Fuck.
<DeathStar> <MEgumi> *c* Did you plan to shoot it off inside us?
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* ...well...no.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad shot it from that shuttle there.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *c* Well, you might have in one of us. *sex joke with her and Erevis*
<Alicia> * Jikuu attempts to pull the shuttle away from the black hole with TK
<Seraphna> **Jaime has the ship pull the two back as they move back too**
<Alicia> * Kyouki shadowports over and helps too
<Seraphna> Jaime> Athena, you might want to spread the aura eating music to the other ships as that one fades.
<DeathStar> *they manage to escape with all the TKs*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan holds on tight, considering he's not in a great position, flying away and using all the support he can get.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well...lets becareful with that gun
<DeathStar> <Athena> Right, lets focus on the next one!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Xanatos, you'd better not die. You know how bad that'd make Erevis feel."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So far that one hasn't ressurecte
<Seraphna> Jaime> Also... keep a safe distance, no trying to repeat that stunt you pulled 30 years ago.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So is it due to the song taking down the aura or the blackhole?
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* I'm glad I opted for multiple straps!
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think it's a combination.
<DeathStar> *The remaining 3 Aura PAXes move in closer to Line and Erevis' PAXes, firing away*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Her power is limited her, so if we destroy too much of a ship without the aura, she shouldn't be able to recover it.
<DeathStar> *suddenly Line's bridge explodes due to a lucky shot*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gulps** Line...
<DeathStar> *it begins to veer off funnily as an Aura PAX moves in to blow it up*
<DeathStar> *suddenly the Aquarius returns*
<DeathStar> Song 17: Battle of Prime 2
<DeathStar> *3
<Seraphna> **Jaime focuses and sends another Hyper rock at the appraoching Aura ship, trying to byuy line's ship time to evacyuate and recover**
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius zooms in, looking like it's moving in overloaded state*
<DeathStar> <Ben on comms> Pepper, Cookie, Airym
<DeathStar> <Ben on comm> We have only a few minutes.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Hit the one attackign our second PAX."
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods, moving them in on the attack vector** Let's go for that one.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Targets fed in based on your work Ben. Ready to fire once we're in.
<Seraphna> COokie> PAX, get ready to attack that approaching ship, We're going to stop it's aura.
<DeathStar> *Ben nods and brings them in close*
<DeathStar> *focusing on the engines*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks to Adeline and starts setting attack patterns**
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper holds till they're in range, then starts firing.
<DeathStar> *The fact they can fire so fast and with spirit engines, they tear through the aura after a bit, even if it takes a bit, nd beginto piece the engines*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan considers using the black hole gun again, but checks to see what the first one is currently doing, if it seems to be growing or not.
<Seraphna> **Jaime waits till the Aquariaus begins, then starts to let it rip** Firing. Line I hope you're getting your people out.
<DeathStar> *tearing it apart after a bit, leaving it dead in the water*
<DeathStar> *Then a chain reaction begins*
<DeathStar> *the second PAX soon begins to blow up from the core*
<Seraphna> **Cookie starts moving them to a safe distance** Should we go for another while we have time?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Get us clear."
<DeathStar> *Adeline fires with the green reality beams, targeting the third PAX*
<DeathStar> *aiming for the engines and able with a few shots to piece the aura*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, but assists, since if theyr'e already committed, why not**
<DeathStar> *Ben gets them away from the core* Well, should I go for it?
<DeathStar> *he eyes the timer*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan moves in to dock his ship and not push it, one is better than none.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> How much time we have?
<Seraphna> COokie> I'd say the one not being attacked by clearly green energy.
<DeathStar> <Ben> 30 seconds, 45 maybe
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Let's try to get the aura down at least so the others can attack.
<DeathStar> *Darien flies with Xan*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Make it so."
<Seraphna> COokie> Athena's ship, join on our attack.
<DeathStar> *Ben flies for the fourth*
<Seraphna> **Cookie moves them into the vector**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Hang in there Mire and Yuki!
<DeathStar> *Athena nods and joins in*
<DeathStar> *the main PAX blows up the third one; warnings from the core begin to come in, but so far they seem to be doing okay as the Aquarius comes in*
<DeathStar> *toward the fourth*
<Alicia> * Victoire assists, while meanwhile, Jikuu starts to hum along, hearing through the link
<DeathStar> *AThena transmits Victoire's song*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek does all he's good for and tries to keep the energy stable down in the core.
<Seraphna> Jaime> THey have enough power to overcome that last one's aura, let's use normal weapons.
<Seraphna> **Sammael assists Drasek**
<DeathStar> *the last one begins to prepare to blow up the Aquarius by blowing up as they fire at the engines; the aura seems to be glowing stronger*
<DeathStar> *As if it's powering up*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper starts firing.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's a Kamekaze move!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> This one seems different! Get ready to run!
<DeathStar> <Ben> We're damaging the engines, but it's still holding on. IT's going to blow up and try to reform.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We have to stop that ship!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime startrs moving them ships back**
<DeathStar> *The Strikers comes in and begins to fire at the shi pas well*
<DeathStar> <TAiga> Hold on
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Noire, fire all missiles.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Break off attack."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... and here...we...go." *presses the button to fire*
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and sets them on a vector away from the blast zone**
<DeathStar> *The Strikers fires at the weakened spot*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sets attack patterns for Adeline**
<DeathStar> *Ben retreats and gets them back, allowing Yuki and Mireille to exit, both smoking*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm not sure if normal weapons is enough
<DeathStar> *To Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hold fast, we need this ship.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Then we hit it with everything we have."
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods and keeps trying with normal weapond*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows green, then seems to form with Gnome as she glows brightly and forms a giant Hyper Rock outside, tossing it at the enemy PAX**
<Alicia> * Jikuu uses more black hole attacks, since spirit works well
<DeathStar> *The Aura goes down and the engines are damaged, but they also explode at the same time; at the same time the Towers come online*
<DeathStar> *As the Aura Ship explodes and hits the PAX, rocking it*
<DeathStar> *The Tower beam shoots out and buffers the PAX a bit by shielding it, but alarms begin to go off*
<Seraphna> **Sammael slams her power into the engines, heloing the shields**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan jerks, having just de-strapped himself and slips off of his shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. *She leans over the girls*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The PAX is being unstable
<Seraphna> Jaime> Y-Yeah... but not boomed.
<DeathStar> *Darien alnds with Xanatos and Cheryl gets off*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to land
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Is this ship even designed to land?
<Jackieness> <Myria> *runs around engineering, trying to level the power systems*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It is. We did it before.
<Dias`> 6Chad moves off with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't like that sound
<Xanatos> <Drasek> THE BLOODY FUCKIN HELL IS GOIN ON
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It is not a good sound."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Geyze or Kumen, Mom? I recommend Geyze. there's the barried land between the Academy and Selena's kingdom.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ugh. 6* He pulls himself up, holding his back.
<Dias`> <Chad> I haven't heard that noise in a long time.
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I am not trained to land this ship
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Landing this ship on Geyze seems reckless. Last time we tried on Earth, it fell apart.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Kumen then?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> True, but where else can we with open land?
<DeathStar> *Erevis taps her comm * Myria, is there anything we can do to stablize the PAX?
<DeathStar> *she says as Adeline tries to bring it in toward Geyze*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We need to pull the Emerald Sword out of the pwoer system, but not all of the sudden!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Gnome and I can at least brace the landing area, if that helps. Or do we just stay in orbit?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right we're still using that. I'm sure that's not helping.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *Comms* Drasek, can you deal with that in the core?
<Seraphna> Jaime> OKay, so remove the sword, get Dad back on the bridge and then land?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I will see if I can help." *heads down to do so*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* I'm on my way, think I tweaked my back though.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tries to stabilize the power but with the sword in there it's going wild.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Try to remove it slowly
<Alicia> * Jikuu arrives to help, teleporting to get there faster. "Need a hand?"
<DeathStar> *As they begin to enter the atmosphere, the PAX begins to jerk about*
<DeathStar> *the entire ship jerking and making noise*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts mapping out where they can go since they have some time** The ground space ports here on Geyze and Kumen... and there's the Peacekeeper station in orbit.
<Dias`> <Chad> I think we just entered orbit....
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oookay yep. Getting a mapping of where we land.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This ship was never meant for orbit. Last time it break into pieces
<DeathStar> <Darien> And I'm on it.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan comes into the bridge, holding his back.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Pick a lane everyone!
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Focus on the swor,d Mr. Drasek. I'll compensate for the power levels with manually intervention!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright, let's set my ass down and figure this out.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You mind taking over? I think there's a docking system. If you can handle it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Landing system I should say
<Dias`> <Chad> Great I'll possibly have to die next to you.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek reaches out with a hyperspace hand to grab the sword, SLOWLY pulling to see what happens.
<DeathStar> *Adeline moves to stand and points out the system to Xanatos*
<Alicia> * Jikuu helps keep things stable, as much as she can
<Seraphna> **JAime closes her eyes and focuses on the ground below, starting to work with Gnome, Terra popping in into her lap to help**
<DeathStar> *The sword slowly is detatched and removed; it flashes red a times, but it's slowly inched form the core*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....landing system...I think I used this once. 6* He starts accessing it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If we can build a ramp of sorts it will be easier to launch it again.
<DeathStar> *She tells Jaime and Gnome
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Done like a pro."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm going to build the ramp both to catch it and provide a way back up.
<DeathStar> *the landing system begins to come online as the core begins to return to normal*
<DeathStar> *it begins to slow down and turn into a way to land up right - which will cause damage to the systems but will allow the ship to stand straight up*
<DeathStar> *Assuming one can manage to land*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows as she, Gnome and Terra begin to create a massive "landing dock" for the PAX below, combininmg their knowledge of both the PAX and Geyze to handle it**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl jerks as the ship assumes the "landing" position*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tries to levels the power systems* "EEEEEEEE!"
<Dias`> <Chad> Jesus...a warning would be nice
<Xanatos> <Xan> Eeesh, here we go.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I guess we have to take what we can get."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware one can even stand this thing upright
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Will it not tip over?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not with the spot it's landing on.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl reaches the bridge with Darien* <Cheryl> You know birds are going to crash into the side now
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm sorry for them."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Imagine hills shaped perfectly to fit into it. That's what I'm doing. **She breathes**
<DeathStar> *Xanatos and Jaime face the ultimate OG*
<Seraphna> Angela> While we're falling or after we land?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I can't hear you over the fate of an assload of people in mine and my more capable daughter's hands!
<DeathStar> *prepare yourself*

<DeathStar> *The PAX lands, coming to a stop. It shudders, shakes, like it might tip over, then doesn't. Various alarms sound and Megumi shuts them off.*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I'll go find Myria and help
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Anyway, we have Jaime and Gnome, as long as we manage the landing, we'll be fine."
<DeathStar> Song 18: Hidden 2
<Seraphna> **Jaime stays focused, filling in gaps of land under the PAX, carving out a base to hold the ship in place**
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....okay. Well. Good job everyone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *hugs Xanatos*
<Xanatos> <Xan> But mostly you Jaime. You killed it
<DeathStar> *Taiga's Striker ship flies past the PAX, surverying it*
<DeathStar> *with the Aquarius joining*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And... welcome back Xanatos."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blushes a bit, Terra bounces**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey love, remember how I was all conflicted with living between Geyze and the PAX?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh, you want to keep the PAX here? I do imagine it'll take a bit before the ship can take off.
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra feel energy all over now!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We have to see how many ships survived to use against that other Cheryl
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm sure we have time."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... right... can we get a report? Did Line make it out?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't look good for that Line person. But I think one or two made it out
<DeathStar> *it
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan looks at their scans, opening comms for any survivors.
<Dias`> 6Chad crosses his arms as he swipes his hand across a terminal and begins to look over the damages done.
<Seraphna> **Threna appears** Well, this is awkward.
<Dias`> <Chad> If we're going to strike her, we should do it before she has time to recover any lost power. I can't imagine repairing the PAX's was easy on her
<DeathStar> *there's cracks and sensor damage all over the PAX, and the core has been cracked. And there will be damage when they relaunch it. Otherwise, it's functional, it can attack, and flight systems seem online*
<DeathStar> *Line's voice comes online* I am here.
<Dias`> <Chad> Hmmmm.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh thank Momma Ama... **she says like a blessing**
<DeathStar> <Line on comm> I am on Kumen. I will meet with you all soon. Their Towers is providing a sort of barrier. I do not think she will try to come again
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, I guess for now we recover and plan the next step.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. And see who all made it through that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That'll be fun

<DeathStar> Song 19: Hidden Song 2
<DeathStar> *Gwen stares up in the sky at the giant 5 mile ship as the soldiers around them lay about*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So did we win?
<Seraphna> Talia> I think so, but I think we got a new Kingdom too.
<DeathStar> *Celes leans against a side of one of the buildings, catching her breath as Selena keeps an eye on the spirits; Sylph and Undine side eyeing each other*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Huh?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *lands the pyramid back in its proper place*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon peers up from his work repairing BIX's arms.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "A new Kingdom?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> The PAX
<DeathStar> <Selena> *jerks her head at that*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh right. For now, at least."
<DeathStar> *As they talk, the bodies begin to dissolve slowly*
<Seraphna> Talia> Eeeep! Creeepy!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah, they're returning to their home reality."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon jerks and quickly moves over to try and get a sample.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh notices Simon and does similar
<Seraphna> Alita> Their bodies were used until there was nothing left to hold them together.
<Seraphna> Alita> This 25 is sick.
<DeathStar> <Voice> You should be CAreful what you touch. *a voice rises up from the dissolving bodies*
<DeathStar> Song 20: Darkness
<Xanatos> 6* BIX's eyes flicker and he slowly sits up though one of his arms still isn't attached.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah?"
<DeathStar> *a tall looking being rises up from them, grabbing the two; staring at it causes everyone's world view to tilt*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a woman, but it's hard to say*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus groans, still pretty fucked up from the pyramid blast, but his wolf healing is....doing stuff.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm...sorry?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm getting vertigo just from looking... this is very strange..."
<DeathStar> *the woman lets them go surprisingly*
<DeathStar> <Death> Stay way from it. *She warns suddenly, forming her scythe*
<Seraphna> **Alita readies the Void Blade again** Who are you stranger?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> *As the bodies continue to be seemingly sucked into it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *steps out of the pyramid, her expression twists and she dashes forward, rapidly weaving a sealing sign*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... hmm."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh shakes her head to clear it
<DeathStar> <Death> It is unnatural. *the being turns to Lana; as it's attention shifts, everoyne returns to normal for a moment*
<Seraphna> Alita> Is this... the being that Lana was holding?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Constructed or...?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *flings her hands forward, replicating Elder Signs around the area* "Begone! You are unwelcome!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Return to your home, whatever you are."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon grabs his head, a bit confused about the being. Though hearing Lana he starts to form runes.
<DeathStar> *it sinks into the ground, before rising up behind Lana* I'll be back, child. *it vanishes*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh starts to perform protective rituals to guard against eldritch energies
<DeathStar> <Selena> What just happened?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Was that the thing?"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX jerks around in the background as his one arm is acting weird and he's unable to get the other attached, oblivious to ominous people.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *turns, arms spread out as if to weave another arcane construct as the entity disappears*
<Seraphna> Alita> If I am not mistaken, that is the dark being that allied itself at least temporarily with the 25th Cheryl. And the thing that marked Jaime Zhenmei.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Is that...the being that Lana and Ceil were messing with before as well? 6* He lets his runes dissipate.
<DeathStar> <Celes> "Marked?" Simon, Ceilidh. check your arms.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh does so.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tilts his head a moment and then begins to look himself over.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *lowers her hands and straightens out her clothes, uncharacteristially intense*
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh would find a strange little w like symbol, almost like a u but something in the middle. A crest almost*
<DeathStar> *Gwen stands by Lana*
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns** This is not good, that makes three it has marked now. Fate! We have need of you!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...a warning would've been nice..."
<DeathStar> *Fate seems MIA*
<Seraphna> Alita> We may have to get you off planet before she will come I suppose. She has avoided this place.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon had pulled his clothes off to the point of being in his little underpants and frowns.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I don't see anything.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *glances away*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well that is a relief.
<Seraphna> Alita> She only marked one?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Just me, apparently."
<Seraphna> Alita> Interesting... I wonder why.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I wonder why.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I shall check my delicate areas in private.
<Seraphna> Talia> Maybe it just likes girls?
<DeathStar> <Death> It's because Ceilidh and Lana had contact with it first
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes a deep breath and then weaves, forming a circular construct that she uses to scan herself* "...finally. It no longer needs to hide itself."
<Seraphna> Alita> Well the other thing Ceil and Jaime have in common is a connection to the Spirits.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm, well I will consider myself tentatively lucky and offer you my condolences Ceil. 6* He starts putting his clothes back on.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, what is it?"
<Seraphna> Alita> From what we've learned, some kind of connection to the thing. It will cause you to see hallucinations and slowly eat at your sanity. It may also cause others nearby to see things.
<DeathStar> <Selena> If Fate is involved, I imagine it's not a good thing.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *turns* "Ladies and gentlemen, you have just made the acquaintance of an Outer God. Probbaly something you could ahve lived without experiencing."
<DeathStar> <Celes> A what?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> Song 21: End of Battle 1
<DeathStar> *Ymir stares at the 5 Towers glowing brightly, throwing a protective shield around the planet and up into the sky*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> It seems to be still working to protect us against something
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes the army having been dissolved as the tower went up*
<Seraphna> Luci> Pity it doesn't stop our own people from being assholes. **she coughs**
<Xanatos> <Logan> How long can the spirits handle this?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> As long as I keep them in there.
<Seraphna> Luci> So... we can let them out when we've dealt with the insane reality bitch then?
<DeathStar> *a dot appears on the back of Ymir's head*
<Seraphna> **Luci forms a shield and moves to defend her**
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> ...Red dot.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Sniper!
<Seraphna> LUci> DOWN!
<DeathStar> *Ymir ducks as it shoots through the shield*
<Seraphna> **Luci backs up, armor cracking off her shoulder** Fuck...
<Seraphna> Luci> Looks like that asshole is after both of us.
<Xanatos> <Logan> WHO IS THIS FUCKING TWAT. 6* He peeks out to try to get eyes on the shooter.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie and Asarar go back to back, glancing around the tops of buildings*
<Seraphna> **Luci activatesd her wrist shield and pulls Ymir towards cover**
<DeathStar> *As Logan says that, a tall black Dark One like being that stands with the height of a Godzilla* <Dark One?> *Grips the tower, standing over it and looks like it could rip it up*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What the hell is going on?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> ... I have to protect the tower. If one goes down the field will go. The field is probably keeping that Cheryl out of this reality.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> It's that powerful
<Seraphna> Luci> Hell if I know! **She forms a Shard Spear and hurls it at the Dark One**
<Xanatos> <Logan> What the hell do we even have to target something that big?
<DeathStar> *as Logan says that, the sniper fires near them, looking for Ymir*
<Seraphna> Luci> I can go dragon but that damn sniper will ripe through my scales at this rate.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *is moving to get up to where the sniper is*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *Calls up the fleet, hoping someone can come down to help*
<DeathStar> *Kira would find the area wired with explosives*
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...
<Jackieness> <Kira> *comm* "Someone left fireworks along the approach."
<Seraphna> Luci> Blow them, hopefully he's in it still.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, I'll try to draw fire. *Comms* Maybe if I get their attention, one of you can fire and hit them.
<DeathStar> *Asarar steps out*
<Xanatos> <Logan> This is really not in my wheelhouse. 6* He pulls up Barry's shotgun and leans around cover to try and get eyes on a glint or something.
<DeathStar> *The sniper immediately draw bead on ASarar*
<DeathStar> *and fires*
<Seraphna> **Luci muses, then kicks up small shrapnel of her shards and dirt, trying to get the sniper aim to show**
<DeathStar> *a glint appears*
<Seraphna> Luci> THERE!
<Xanatos> 6* Logan would open fire on the glint.
<DeathStar> *the sniper stumbles away, heading near Kira*
<Seraphna> **Luci checks on Asarar**
<DeathStar> *Asarar seems fine, but has her coat drawn closed* <Asarar> Good shot. Didn't know a shotgun could go that far.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan begins to run in that direction, aiming to climb the side to maybe flank with Kira.
<DeathStar> *She sits*
<DeathStar> *Ymir begins to head for the tower with Bonnie*
<Seraphna> **LUci frowns, adn presses her stabilizer to Asarar** Don't you dare die.
<Seraphna> **Luci then follows the two, readying to give them cover**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves into a hiding position*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *Takes it and leans back*
<DeathStar> *The sniper switches to their handgun and fires at Logan*
<DeathStar> *Back to Kira and her explosives*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *then sneaks toward the sniper's back*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie begins to climb up the tower, going into purple hair mode*
<DeathStar> *As cracks begin to appear in it from the large Dark One creature*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan falls back a bit as the shots come in, trying to think thin.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be drawing power from it*
<Seraphna> **Luci shifts into a Dragon and takes to the shy, pulling Ymir on her back**
<DeathStar> *Ymir holds on*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie leaps off and attacks, vanishing into it practically. At that moment, the Striker appears from the sky. Taiga having Noire on top of the ship*
<Seraphna> **Luci opens her maw and sends a blast out at the creature to give both attackers backup**
<DeathStar> *The sniper steps back, thinking she's driven Logan back, right into Kira*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that's no Dark One...this is somethign different..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So you can't eat it?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pulls himself up more, mostly trying to distract until he can get in a position to take a shot.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *then tries to stab at the back of the sniper's neck*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *leans forward with Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...well, wow."
<DeathStar> *Kira drops the sniper*
<DeathStar> *As Ymir and Luci pester the large Dark One like being, who turns to eye them, they don't seem to notice the Striker coming in*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess I Can shoot it.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves to check the sniper's true identity*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do it."
<Xanatos> 6* Logan breathes heavy and moves over to Kira's side, pistol aimed at the sniper.
<DeathStar> *Kira would see Ymir*
<DeathStar> *At least a version of her*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The sniper was Ymir."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I could try... but I actual feel a bad vibe."
<DeathStar> <TAiga> Alright, lets use conventional weapons.
<DeathStar> *She opens fire*
<Seraphna> **Luci grumbles** <It's your evil version babe. The Sniper.>
<Xanatos> <Logan> Should....go...check on...Asarar. I'll secure this one. 6* He double checks that this Ymir is dead.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> <...>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "For once, I don't trust myself to eat that."
<Seraphna> **Luci wheels about in the air to keep distance from the Shadow creature before flapping her wings and sending shard spears into it**
<DeathStar> *The Strikers attacks and seems to do damage; the being sinks down, acting like it was driven off, leaving the damage Tower cracked and flickering*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess we didi t.
<DeathStar> *it floats beside it*
<Seraphna> Luci> <Don't be fooled.>
<Alicia> * Charlotte scans for whatever energy the creature puts out
<DeathStar> <Ymir> <...>
<DeathStar> *it seems to ahve gone, but the tower seems to have had a lot of spirit energy taken*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well that was weird
<Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs back into the cockpit of the Striker before she gets knocked off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... it was draining the tower?"
<DeathStar> Song 22: Aftermath and Setup
<Seraphna> **Luci backs more and eyes the tower, then forms a barrier around the tower where the crack is, threading shards into it**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Watch out. She rigged this place with explosives." *heads down to check on Asarar*
<DeathStar> *Ymir studies it* LEts hope Gale is okay in there. The barrier would Kumen is weak and what is helping keep Cheryl out now won't be as strong.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Wait
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Where's Bonnie?
<Seraphna> **Luci moves to land, wary of the creature, then pauses in the air looking about** She leaped into the thing. Didn't see her after.
<DeathStar> *Asarar is still in her sitting position*
<DeathStar> *a bit slumped, stim in her hand*
<Seraphna> **Luci big dragon voice(** Yo! Bonnie! Where yah at?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> ... *glances around* *Taiga on comm* I'm not detecting her anywhere. She must have been taken.
<Seraphna> **Luci lands** We just fuckin' got her back though!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *comm* "Check the towers, they might've taken spirits too."
<DeathStar> *Ymir heads for the tower to enter it*
<Seraphna> Luci> THe tower would be offline then... **she shifts back and heads after Ymir**
<Xanatos> 6* Logan secures sniper just in case not dead or could revive or something weird and starts making his way back down to the ground.
<DeathStar> *it seems Gale is okay, but the tower's damage is causing it to draw more power from them*
<Seraphna> Luci> Can we get someone in here to repair it, Ymir?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Not while it's on.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> For now we should grab Asarar and head back to what's left of my HQ
<DeathStar> *She eyes the dead other her*
<Seraphna> **Luci nods, moving over to check on Asarar too**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Kira, she okay?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, let me look."
<DeathStar> *Asarar seems to be in a state of not breathing, sparking a bit. It looks like she might be in a state of being shut down, perhaps, or close to death and has entered a sort of repair mode. The shot looks like it was right over the heart area*
<Seraphna> Luci> Fuck, she's in critical. Ymir, we'll need a medivac!
<DeathStar> *Ymir kneels, eyeing her* She's lost a lot of blood, and has reverted to biotect mode.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Can you help her?"
<Seraphna> Luci> Fuck fuck fuck why didn't I ever learn medical shit instead of telepathy. **looks her over worriedly** I told you no dying damnit.
<DeathStar> *Ymir nods and radios it in* Yeah, I can help. Tora would be better, but I learned with her.
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session600
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Being an X model, when they get get too near death they'll switch to biotect status to try to keep them alive. We'll give them the blood and other stuff as I repair them
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> Song 23: False Lull
<DeathStar> *Erevis stands on a balcony, watcing birds fly by. The Aquarius having docked somehow*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> So how did all this happen?
<DeathStar> *she eyes the state of the PAX*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "The alternate Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Of course
<DeathStar> *Lenneth watches the Striker coming in*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, I made the landing platform and stablized the land.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You know this sort of leaves us vulnerable.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me about it
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It cannot be helped."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I imagine we will have to leave the shields up all the time
<Xanatos> <Xan> Have we even begun to estimate the time it'll take to repair?
<DeathStar> <Athena> I can have the Idol Ship floating around to protect it
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Not yet. There's a problem with the core, and after that we'll have to figure out how to relaunch this into space.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Myria will likely work on the core problem
<ChadWinters`> Doing so without causing damage is going to be the real problem.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Have we got eyes on the battlefield, was there a lot of wreckage we could use?
<DeathStar> <Line> There should be some PAX parts left
<DeathStar> <Line> We left a lot of them up there. Only two working PAXes are left to go into battle.
<DeathStar> <Line> Speaking of which, we have to decide who will go to the 25th.
<DeathStar> *Erevis returns from the balcony as Taiga and company return*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'd love to... but I know that mark on me will alert her ally the moment we enter 25...
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks frustrated at that**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I have some suspicions about all this... I feel like whether I go will be an important factor."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Realistically...how much did that fight hurt her, do you think? Because we're pretty fucked.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then we need Fate.
<ChadWinters`> I'd like to imagine it pulled some power from her but I don't think enough to make her worry.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "A lot, but you're right."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I can only call it a victory in that we survived."
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps up with her Strikers* Well, we can have Kaori hooked up to one of the PAXes.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Try to replicate one of those Aura PAXes
<ChadWinters`> Odd's are it'll drain her faster than Cheryl was drained.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I agree. So I suggest we only do that at the end.
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Why would it?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Because Kaori's power seems to be limited
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And even more so in another reality than our own.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I thought 25's reality power was supposed to be nothing compared to Prime though.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... the Idol ship disrupted the reality energy as did the Aquarius' spirit weaponry."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Basically, I want to have Kaori hooked up to the ship to serve as a shield and a powerful beam shot to fire at her to weaken her.
<ChadWinters`> One. Kaori's never used that power before so it'll take power to just figure it out. Two she's also going to be in another reality so it'll effect her ability to.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Three... we have to worry about Cheryl's ally..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... that thing.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Then we need Fate there to deal with it
<ChadWinters`> Will she deal with it or should I say, is she allowed to deal with it?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Good question
<DeathStar> <Ren> We should ask her
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Canw e still make use of the Emerald Sword as well?"
<ChadWinters`> If it's what I think it is, there's not a lot of info out thre on it, but Id and I have been looking in to it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *takes the Emerald Sword, studying it* IT appears fine. Jikuu?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you want to wield it in battle, or should I give it to another?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I could certainly use it. That would mean volunteering for the biggest duties, but I will."
<DeathStar> *Erevis hands it over*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Also, I think we need to use some of the Geyze people. They might be useful.
<ChadWinters`> They'll abilities will be diminished though. Unless Spirits can be summoned through realities
<ChadWinters`> *there*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Not using spirits per say but them
<Seraphna> Jaime> **glows** Some of us don't need the spirit to use the power.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright I'm going to get the two PAXes ready.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ymir's tower isn't going to hold forever and Cheryl will return.
<DeathStar> *She moves off*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What about the Maka?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm assuming if we get Fate, I'm going, and if not, I stay? I don't want to put the whole operation at risk.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Even if we get Fate, you might be staying."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, I feel like I need to go. *Eyes Line*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well that ups my conflicted feelings. **she huffs**
<ChadWinters`> Well I can send a few Id's equipped in Spirit Shells to act as batteries for those that need to recharge.
<ChadWinters`> I'd say send Dias and Marcus.
<DeathStar> *The adult Fate looms behind them* I keep hearing my name. And the talk of the ancient enemy.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We're planning to go to 25's doorstep and kick her ass. But we figured out she can track me.
<ChadWinters`> Nyarl. 6He looks at Fate
<Seraphna> Jaime> Your enemy that is.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Good ears."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Please do not say her full name
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Oh."
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is like giving her power.
<DeathStar> <FatE> Though technicaly, it is an "it"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is there anything that doesn't? Or even better, takes it?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If only it was the case for myself."
* ChadWinters` drums his finger as he studies Fate
<Seraphna> **Angela stretches** So I'm obviously going in because I hear the words ass kicking.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... we know from our previous recon that Cheryl's strength varies by proximity."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Now isn't the time really to talk about it. You're all are sorely lacking in facing it. *She tilts her head* The only reason it's moving openly is because in other realities it can cause chaos. Which is what it is doing. It's actually caused a few to fall
<DeathStar> <Fate> But if it makes this one fall, well, everything on this plane of existence falls.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, how do we prepare?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Stop Cheryl and it will move on.
<ChadWinters`> So do you think it'll make a move on us while we deal with this alternate Cheryl?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That does not feel like preparing, but it will do for now."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can I help them or do I need to stay here?
<DeathStar> <Fate> It could, but once the battle is dictated, it will likely leave. IT's not ready to mindbreak you all yet with me here.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> We're getting reports that she's been spotted in our reality. She might not even BE in 25.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Why was this thing never mentioned when all the serpent shit was happening? Finding out after the fact something of this power level exists is...what's the word...shitty.
<DeathStar> <Fate> ... *arms cross* How do I put it.
<ChadWinters`> Because there's always something bigger out there. 6He looks at Xan
<Alicia> <Jikuu and Victoire> "'When'?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> You know how I'm technically a higher being?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's the opposite, a lower being.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "The serpent shit hasn't even really begun."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Very Angels and Devils.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...I don't like that.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "You shouldn't."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes. Some might consider us "Angels" or the perfect plane of existence to strive for. It is the opposite. It mimics your worse stories. The worst plane of existence. It's like the mythos you tell yourselves. The worst versions of existence. Hell in a sense.
<Seraphna> Angel> So it has the same mojo as Satan? And yes before you ask the dude is real and kind of a bastard.
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is in sense a worse threat than the serpent. Were you ready to be told that? When the serpent can end this universe as it is?
<DeathStar> <Fate> I'm already meddling
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Mythos feels like a good name to describe them."
<ChadWinters`> Which means you're risking things the way it is.
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns and peers down, thoughtfully**
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Was I ready? No. Should I hear it? Yes."
<Seraphna> Angela> Does any of this sound familiar to anyone else?
<DeathStar> <Fate> It's plan is to bring every plane of existence down
<Seraphna> Angela> LIke we've been around this bend before?
<DeathStar> <Fate> All planes. To become like it's own.
<DeathStar> <Fate> But that can wait. I will help shield you
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session600
<DeathStar> *She vanishes*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Guess that means I can help.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "In a way, though... it's a weight off my shoulders. Our true fights are now the same."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe we were just told a being wishes to destroy our plane of existence and you find it a weight off your shoulders?
<DeathStar> *she tilts her head*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I already knew that."
<ChadWinters`> Let's focus on how we plan on fighting Cheryl in her own territory.
<Seraphna> Angela> I mean, she's right. There's always someone trying to do that.
<Seraphna> Angela> At least we know WHO now.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right right..

<Seraphna> **Alita, Angela, Si and Jaime stand there ready to go**
<Seraphna> Angela> It is a bad idea.
<DeathStar> *Adeline checks her stuff with Line*
<Seraphna> Angela> Which is why I'm going with you.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...we're at war. When has war ever been a good idea?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> So after we win this what will happen to the 25th?
<ChadWinters`> I imagine, Line here will try to restore order.
<DeathStar> <Line> Of course.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hopefully you find a way to deal with the reality power that remains without it just repeating history.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his nose, wearing a tattered Gi.
<DeathStar> *Taiga on comms* Okay, I'm opening the reality gate; I'll follow through with the PAXes after a bit.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands there cleaning off the char marks on his chest, his wolf healing has helped a lot already.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I still can't believe Lana hid the fact she had an Elder God
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... me either..."
<Seraphna> Alita> To be fair, she claims a Geas was on her.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I can. I find it quite normal for people to hide things that are important like that from others.
<Seraphna> Alita> It was impossible for her to tell anyone.
<Seraphna> Angela> You would.
<DeathStar> <Selena> What is evena Gaes.
<DeathStar> *As the portal opens up*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "You can stop that, Id! This is *too* important to hide! Information wants to be free!"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon flips through his notes, peering up at the portal.
<Seraphna> Alita> A form of spell or binding of one's will. A forced quest or order.

<ChadWinters`> <Id> Would you like to know the requirements for you to gain more info? 6Id turns to face Angela.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, at least Zephyr can stay this one out. Her orders are to protect things with Darien and Mom.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am." *heads forwards*
<DeathStar> *Ren nods to Noire*
<ChadWinters`> That's enough, Id.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *points sword ahead* Lets do this.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Ah, should I go, or am I needed here?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean, one more person can't hurt.
<Seraphna> Angela> Remember when Zephyr used to sneak on missions?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You know a wicked scar would make you look even bad ass as a wolf.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm....could someone start playing music while we slow walk tthough the portal?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We need all the singers and magic users and spirit users we can get.
<ChadWinters`> *more bad ass*
<Alicia> * Victoire heads over to Jikuu's side
<DeathStar> *Athena leans in and begins to sing*
<Seraphna> **Thena joins her**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think it's better if she didn't sneak in this time. *she glances around for her*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm going too, of course."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus went through the portal, Simon clothes his notepad and looks around at the others.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come on, Strikers." *starts walking for the portal*
<DeathStar> *The portal jerks them through Stargate style and they appear on the burnt Geyze*
<ChadWinters`> 6Two Spirit Shell Id's float near the spirit users
<DeathStar> Song 27 - 25th
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *adds her voice to the music*
<DeathStar> *Selena looks around Geyze 25*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What in the world?
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line spread out*
<DeathStar> <Ren> This place is depressing. <Cheryl> Tell me about it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Super depressing...
* ChadWinters` glances at Selena. 1"Cheryl's first move was to take out anyone that could threaten her. Hence this.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah... Evil Cheryl wrecked this place..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> It is quite distressing to see my home like this.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Fear not, Simon. Your home still remains.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe after we finish all this, we can help bring this back.
<DeathStar> <Selena> So this is why you all wanted people from Geyze.
<ChadWinters`> Yes.
<Seraphna> Alita> She appears to be afraid of us. Our own fight was the only one where we were able to actually affect the soldiers and wear them down.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... watch out for Fae and Terra. They were brainwashed by Cheryl."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms a few runes, activating a spell to see if there's any remnants of spirit or mana energy remaining on this Geyze.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hear the Kumen team ahd trouble until the towers went up
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Yeah... not really happy about that either.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can't say I am either, but..."
<DeathStar> *it looks like there is still some left in the planet*
<DeathStar> *but nowhere near what it is in the Prime*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So how do we get to Earth?
* ChadWinters` glance at Line.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Taiga should be crossing with the PAXes any moment now.
<ChadWinters`> The moment they come in, Cheryl will start attacking.
<DeathStar> <Line> Not yet. She'll wait until the last moment. The moment they arrive
<DeathStar> <Line> She'll detect them
<Xanatos> <Simon> Trace energy here. Nothing like we experience but it is something at least.
<DeathStar> *Line works on a device, working to call something*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I wonder if I could punch this planet in half now that it's mostly dead. 6He taps the ground
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I can teleport, but not THAT far, at least not without access to the PAX teleporation grid.
<DeathStar> *Selena looks depressed*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Dias, save your strength for the evil Cheryl."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It is not a matter of if you could as if you should. The answer to that is no."
<DeathStar> *a shuttle begins to land*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I don't know what those words mean. 6He stands upright and shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright lets board this.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It means don't even try."
<DeathStar> *Ren and Cheryl step up and take their seats with Adeline and Line taking the pilot seats*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to board the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *Selena leans against the shuttle wall, arms crossed*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls a tighly rolled up piece of cloth out of his back pocket and unfurls it into a tank top, pulling it on.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves to sit near Adeline**
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads in, followed by Jikuu and Victoire
<DeathStar> <Selena> ...
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well now that just sounds like a challenge. 6He hops up into the shuttle as Chad walks in slowly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Place bothers my nose. 6* He notes as he moves to get on the shuttle.
<Seraphna> **Angela sits by Cheryl, Si and Alita taking seats**
<DeathStar> *Ren studies Victoire* <Ren> So...you into singing all your life?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps up onto the shuttle, pausing to give Selena a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
<Seraphna> **Thena sticks with Athena**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Like stale bread.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I don't remember a time I wasn't."
<ChadWinters`> 6The Id's all float in.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Akatsuki hasn't shown much singing ye.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "My senpais were a big inspiration..."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *just waves at that*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh? .,, *studies her* Would you like to have dinner with us sometime?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'd love to!"
* ChadWinters` takes a seat, closing his eyes
<DeathStar> *As the shuttle flies toward Earth, Cheryl shifts in her seat, looking tense*
<Seraphna> **Angela puts a hand on her knee**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl raises an eyebrow*
<Seraphna> Angela> We've got this.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. *she nods to Angela*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I always thought it'd be my alternate who was the villain..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It was, wasn't it?
<DeathStar> *As they near Earth, a ton of ships are all around it, like some sort of blockade*
<DeathStar> Song 28 - Multiple Issues
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Pretty big wall in front of us.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, somewhat."
* ChadWinters` opens his eyes, looking out the view. 1"...It would appear she's slightly weakened.
<DeathStar> <Selena> What can I possibly do against that?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Your best."
<DeathStar> *something also seems to be flying in space - two little spirits*
<ChadWinters`> Line, you have an idea on how to get past them or we going to have to fly in the hard way?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nothing. None of us could fly through that.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Terra and Fae...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...not again."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I mean...I bet I could.
<DeathStar> <Line> We'll have to try to bluff them. But I'm not sure we can.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .... *Grips her seat*
<Seraphna> Jaime> They think YOU are their mother now. Cheryl.
<ChadWinters`> We could try to hyperspace past them but that's going to have it's own set of risks
<DeathStar> *The spirits seem to be checking ships that are approaching.*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Everyone, buckle up! Things are about to get.....mmmm...rough."
<DeathStar> *the two seem to detect something wrong with onea nd suddenly the ship is destroyed*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right, here we go
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes in a breath**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Remember, we're a completely legitimate vessel."
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line's red eyes begin to glow*
<Seraphna> **Alita closes her eyes**
<DeathStar> *they suddenly jump into hyperspace*
<DeathStar> *the shuttle jerks as it enters atmosphere and there's a boom; the shuttle lays smashed along the ground*
<DeathStar> *Still a ways away from the Fortress*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ow?
<DeathStar> *Selena crawls away from the wreckage, forehead bleeding*
<Seraphna> **Jaime checks on Adeline and Line**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl grunts and gets away as ADeline and Line look aKOed*
* ChadWinters` stumbles out, wincing a bit as he rotates his shoulder.
<Seraphna> **Angela grumbles and pulls herself out, Jaime pulls the two out carefully**
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *rolls out, something in her side*
<Alicia> * Charlotte checks on Ren and Noire
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias pulls himself out of the ground a bit away, and shakes like a dog
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...ah....ahhhh...I need everyone to accounted for..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *coughs up fluids*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon, with almost precog-like speed formed ice around those close to him to try and soften the blow, using some of his time abilities.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ow
<Seraphna> **Angela puts a hand on Ren and starts healing her**
<Seraphna> **Si rolls out and flops, fuuing**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thanks Simon
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Thank you Simon, you're our hero.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm sorry I wasn't able to get the entire shuttle.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Some is better than none.
<DeathStar> Song 29 - 25th Spirits
<Seraphna> **Alita steps out, letting a spirit like film come off herself, then starts to heal people, she works on the Adelines since they seem to have taken the brunt**
<DeathStar> *suddenly Terra and Fae float down*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "The bad part is that they know we are here now."
<DeathStar> *having watched their stunt it seems*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pulls himself out, slowly straightening up to peer at the spirits.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...its them again."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Ruh roh. I smell spirit beings.
<Seraphna> **Jaime slowly rises, looking at them**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus kicks out the front of the shuttle pulling himself out and hoisting it up slightly before letting it then drop back down with a thud.
<DeathStar> *Fae and Terra float up the wreckage and begin to drop it around on people*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Bad people. <Terra> Bad. Cut line
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds out her hand and earth hands smack the wreckage away**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...Thena... Victoire... we need to use our song to free their minds."
<DeathStar> *Ren holds her bleeding side, a piece of metal sticking out*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Terra and Fae, you have been NAUGHTY.
* ChadWinters` reaches for his gun as he faces them.
<Alicia> * Victoire starts singing the moment Reikana says to
<Xanatos> 6* Simon kneels to start healing Ren.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *starts into the song to try to counter Cheryl's control of the two spirits.*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps in between Ren and the spirits*
<Alicia> * Charlotte helps out as best as she can
* ChadWinters` reaches up and taps his ears.
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows with Gnome's aura**
<DeathStar> *the spirits eye their singing, then begin to form a massive earth creature and begin to have it try to smash the singers*
<DeathStar> <Terra> Bad tune.
<DeathStar> <Fae> *sends wind at Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms a massive Earth fist and smahes back, using the earth to root herself**
<Seraphna> **Thena rolls out, then joins the singing**
<DeathStar> Song 30: Record of Spirit War Prelude
<Alicia> * Victoire tries not to get angry at the group's music being insulted, continuing singing
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How do we safely stop these kids without killing them?
<DeathStar> *Selena glows with spirit energy* Okay lets see if this works.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves and runs up Jaime's massive Earth Fist and leaps off towards Terra and throws a spinning kick at her
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to defend the singers (including her twin sister) from any further attacks*
<Seraphna> **Alita peers at the two** What do you think you are doing, children?
<Alicia> * Jikuu does similar, using TK to block attacks
<DeathStar> *She begins to chant, and begins to try to call the spirits of her realm here. USing her spirit self, she manages to drag a few to appear, looking like shades*
<Seraphna> **Si seems to be watching for now, guaging what to do against kids**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Cheryl, your kids are being naughty."
<DeathStar> <Fae> We know she is a fake mom!
<Seraphna> Jaime> As much as it hurts that Terra can't remember me.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She is the real Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Terra> Fake!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Feel it Terra. Our spark. You share energy from me.
<ChadWinters`> The longer we stay here the quicker their Cheryl is going to attack us.
<Seraphna> **Jaime then forms a statue of Gnome**
<DeathStar> *Terra forms a giant earth hand to grip Jaime.*
<Seraphna> **Jaime watches her stoicly**
<Seraphna> Jaime> You're stronger than this.
<DeathStar> *at that moment, Terra is kicked by Dias and sent flying through the air ccomedically*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Gasp!
<Seraphna> **jaime shrugs the Earth off and squeaks** Terra!
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Time out for the bad spirit. 6He lands on the ground
<Seraphna> **Thena begins to sing a song about loving memories**
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Seems to focusing on trying to get the shades to materalize more. Salamander, Aska, and Neekito move to join the singers, using their song to stay formed*
<DeathStar> <Fae> Who are they?
<DeathStar> *she begins to attack them with wind*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits down and picks at his teeth, waiting.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's Salamander, Aska and Neekito, spirits of your last generation.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Good to see you all."
<Seraphna> Jaime> How could you forget your own? Fae wake up!
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias reaches down to pick up a rock, he tosses it up and down a bit then holds his left thumb out towards Fae as if judging something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....I really hate doing this kind of stuff. Bad kids. Bad. *points* Behave ourselves.
<DeathStar> *suddenly a giant golem lands on Dias*
<DeathStar> Song 31: REcord of Spirit War
<Seraphna> **Thena glows as she adds some spirit into her song, using her pure Charisma to enforce a song of love and memories**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hurks as he crushes under the the giant golem, then begins pushing back, causing the ground to start to crack. 1"Ho ho ho. Quite the toy you got here."
<Seraphna> **Jaime shives, actually crying a bit** Terra...
<DeathStar> *Terra begins to have the golem try to Bane Dias*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Kick it in the balls. 6* He shouts at Dias
<DeathStar> <Terra> Why is this lady crying? <Fae> ... *looks uncomfortable*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows with Hyperspace a she suddenly rushes Terra**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Terra Zhenmei remember me!
<Xanatos> 6* Simon frowns as he finishes healing up Ren, placing the blood stained metal to the side.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes a second wind after Thena*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> No. BAD GOLEM! 6He tenses and tries to over power the Golem's arms
<DeathStar> <Ren> Thank you
<Xanatos> <Simon> You should be okay. 6* He pats Ren, standing upright to peer at the young spirits.
<DeathStar> *the golem breaks while Jaime rushes Terra*
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... *goes to join Terra when the other spirit phantoms stop her*
<DeathStar> <Aska> No
<Alicia> * Victoire sings with all her heart, backing up to the other two
<Seraphna> **Jaime stops just short of her, meeting her eyes** Look at me. Terra, it's me. I'm your mother. Gnome and I had you in love. Remember the grotto, the Ents, your family.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Young Fae, have you ever had a pact before in this world?
<DeathStar> <Fae> No. *points past Aska* You're all bad guys!
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives her visions of their past, happy moments**
* ChadWinters` turns away, putting his gun away and grabbing his datapad. 1"Id, scout ahead."
<ChadWinters`> 6An Id zooms off towards the city
<DeathStar> <Terra> .... *Stares at Jaime, then seems to fall over, as if broken*
<Seraphna> **Jaime kneels, picking her up gently**
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... *Eyes terra, then Jaime, and begins to form a vortex*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You know that is not true, Fae."
<DeathStar> *getting ready to aim it a Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime cries and hugs her**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll make her pay for what she did to us.
<Seraphna> Alita> Does that look like an evil lady, Fae?
<DeathStar> <Aska> ... *Salamander joins her along with Soren, trying to take the Vortex, the spirits forms blasted away*
<Seraphna> Alita> See the lie for what it is. That's a mother's love.
<DeathStar> <Fae> You broke her!
<Seraphna> Alita> She woke her up.
<DeathStar> <Fae> ..
<Seraphna> Alita> It's painful what you must be hiding from.
<DeathStar> *flies off*
<Seraphna> Alita> What it must mean.
<DeathStar> *or tries to*
<Seraphna> **Alita reches out with a aspirit hand to grab her**
<Seraphna> Alita> Child, feel your kin here.
<Seraphna> **Jaime pours some of her own spirit into Terra**
<ChadWinters`> Cheryl, feeling weird at all?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not yet. But we've spent a lot of time here. These two were meant to delay us, I'm sure.
<Xanatos> <Simon> As much as I feel we should let you go, young Fae, it pains me to see you and terra alone, Geyze in ruin. Our home in ruin. Why would Cheryl do that?
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... *lands* Fine.... I'll come with you. Just to prove you're the bad guys.
<Seraphna> **Jaime rises, cradling Terra**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am not a Geyze spirit, but it hurts me to see Geyze in ruin."
<DeathStar> <Line> Right, the fortress is this way.
<DeathStar> *she marches ahead*
<Seraphna> Si> Yep.
<DeathStar> Song 32: Heading for the Fortress
<Seraphna> Angela> Would it only be so easy to get to this Cheryl...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *watches Fae trudge along beside Terra*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She'll have to know we're coming now
<Seraphna> Angela> She knew we were coming when she lost the battle.
<Seraphna> Angela> All we did was possibly give this place more hope.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Although, she may well have not known the time."
<ChadWinters`> If anything it means she's willing to deal with us face to face otherwise she would've attacked us.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...she hasn't preemptively moved to attack while we were down though."
<DeathStar> *As they near the fortress, something unusual has happened; all the citizens of the city have been moved to the outside of the building, strapped to the sides of the building.*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "She was weakened by the attack too."
<DeathStar> Song 33: Fortress Break-In
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...oh come on."
<ChadWinters`> Interesting tacftic.
<DeathStar> <Selena> What tactic is this?!
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line seem to be trying to decide how to get in*
<ChadWinters`> Can't attack it without killing someone.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We cannot hyperspace inside without killing them..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well I'm guessing that leaves shooting the PAX now
<Alicia> <Victoire> "There are other ways inside though!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Human shield is pretty low, even for a Cheryl. 6* He winks at Cheryl, joking about the last part.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Still certain of your side, Fae?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl points ahead* Dias.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yo?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get us in.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You want me to throw you all in?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I plan for you to out stupid her tactic.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can we just... release a section of them somehow?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If that's throwing us, so be it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...so trust in dumb luck."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I-I don't know if I like this
<DeathStar> *Ren clings to Charlotte*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias puts his hands over his eyes like binoculars so he can get a better idea of what's infront of them.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Throw and catch? Wonder what their gun situation is.
<DeathStar> <Line> She has a massive gun that can rise and fire.
<DeathStar> <Line> I imagine there's no people strapped to that
<Seraphna> Si> So we need to take out this gun.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So if one of us gets the gun to aim at us
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Dias can throw them at the gun?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And what, exactly, would that do?"
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a massive fortrress complex*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Before we throw, can any of you actually fly? Fly around and fuck with the gun while the rest of us get close?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So... can she detect the use of spirit energy? Hyperspace?"
<DeathStar> *with multiple levels, with people strapped to all the walls*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then feels out the earth below them**
<DeathStar> *The top part is probably where the gun comes out*
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses, then goes into spirit form, wings forming*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Tell you what. I'll bring the gun out. 6He starts walking towards the fortress
<Seraphna> **Jaime puts on Titan's Glove, then starts to dig downwards a bit**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Go Dias.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Oh yes, this plan is working."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Good luck
<Alicia> * Victoire flinches at those words, before calming down a little. "Wait, that doesn't apply here, does it?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias reaches behind his back and pulls out a small bouncy ball as he continues towards the city.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, as Dias approaches, he would sense something that makes his sense of the world going wrong, asi f all his senses are warping, as the citizens seem to be dissolving and a tall dark being peers out of a section at him*
<DeathStar> *giving him vertigo*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pats himself a few times, checking pockets and then pulls a piece of beef jerky out of his other back pocket and starts to chew on it after dusting it off.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Great, it's here.
<DeathStar> Song 34 - Hidden Song 6
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think he's going to puke.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Why did you say those words?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> We're out of time if it's here.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...the human shield was either an illusion, or those people are dead."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias pauses in his step, a weird look on his face as his body starts to tense up.
<Seraphna> Angela> The crazy bitch probably doesn't even realize it's using her.
<DeathStar> *She zooms up into the sky*
<DeathStar> <Fae> ... *looks scared*
<Seraphna> Angela> Remember, it's not our goal.
<DeathStar> *Fate appears, in her younger form*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slides his feet a bit as he tries to regain his composure before pausing and punching himself in the head.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Fate!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Fate! You and Dias been training to spank this right?
<Seraphna> Thena> Spank!
<DeathStar> <Fate> Right. We have. *she runs past Dias and hits him in the back, heading ahead; the gun rises up to aim*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... we need to move
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...I feel like I am forgetting something."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well that can wait
<DeathStar> *She grabs her and moves*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon begins forming ice runes.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> So that's what it feels like to face that thing. 6He shakes his head and takes a step forward before bursting off towards the fortress
<DeathStar> Song 35 - Tri-Battle
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Move!"
<DeathStar> *The gun aims at the team*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads off after Ren with Victoire
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus runs forward towards the fortress. Simon begins to move off to the side, still charging up some sort of ice related spell.
<Seraphna> **Jaime lifts up an earth wall for them and gets running**
<DeathStar> *As the creature heads for Dias and Fate
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dashes along, forming a dark matter ball*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and leaps up high, unleashing a blast of plasma at the cannon before rocketing herself forward**
<Seraphna> **Thena chibis and rides on Cheryl's shoulder**
<DeathStar> *Selena flies along as Cheryl huffs it* <Cheryl> Oh great...I'm the last one...
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Time to feel this out, eh? 6He releases a wave of warmth that borderlines heat as he heads for the creature head on.
* ChadWinters` runs along with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line hurry, TKing themselves along as it fires and hits the wall that was made, destroying it and the beam keeps going at the team*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lobs the dark matter ball at the gun to try to lock it down*
<Seraphna> **Alita shakes her head, then picks up those behind and warps with them to the shadow of the walls**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon finishes and touches the final rune, it turning a bright blue before fading. Cloud swirl around the cloud above and large ice spikes of hail begins to fall down for the gun.
<DeathStar> *The gun takes the two hits, sparking a little*
<Xanatos> (Clouds swirl around the gun)
<Seraphna> **Si focuses her plasma attack to cling to the weapon and start really heating it up**
<DeathStar> *spinning and trying to lock back on*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Victoire, you fought it to a standstill once befor. Now Thena and I are here to help."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tenses as he runs and moves to jump up to the next level of the fortress since the gun is still focused on the group.
<Seraphna> Thena> Sing song of Mew Love and Battle!
<Alicia> <Victoire> "R-right."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl climbs up the levels, the people screaming for help; Fae tries to do so*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias stumbles and then kicks off coming in low at the creature before slamming his left hand in the ground and coming upwards to throwing a rising kick for it's gut
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Victoire, take lead vocals!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts releasing people as she climbs by shaping their bindings away, sending them down into softened mud**
<Alicia> * Victoire takes a deep breath, then starts to sing
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *starts up as backup singer*
<Seraphna> **Thena provides flashing sparkling backup**
* ChadWinters` grunts a bit as he starts climbing
<DeathStar> *Fate follows up along with Dias and blinks out and appears behind and hits with a punch; they change into a woman, bouncing and step back, their face warping and even looking at them makes it feel like Dias is staring at something that is clawing at the back of his eyes and staring at otherworldly creatures; thankfully, his brain doesn't quite work right already so he's not quite being driven insane like normal people as Fate and him drive blows*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Somehow, I am no longer terrified."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses after they get closer and starts to help free people. Meanwhile Marcus is climbing higher, trying to get to the gun so he can do a cool wolf thing.
<DeathStar> *as they others start to sing, the woman turns, glances* Ah, they're singing for you, trying to lessen my influence.
<DeathStar> *The massive gun turns, aiming at the fortress and fires again* <Cheryl> Incoming
<Seraphna> **Alita uses a trick of Air magic to magnify the singers voices tenfold**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *uses her tendrils to try to pull herself up the fortress wall*
<DeathStar> Song 36: Fortress
<Seraphna> **Angela forms a massive Holy Shield and braces**
<DeathStar> *Ren grabs Charlotte and goes dragon*
<Seraphna> **Angela sees that and suddenly grabs Cheryl, leaping off the wall and going Dragon too**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Gotta love a pep band. 6He smiles a bit then closes his eyes as he lands and starts throwing a barrage of punches with his right hand at Nyarl.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Swoops in and grabs MArcus, flying up to drop him from the air at the gun*
<Seraphna> **Jaime keeps climbing, basically walking on the stone as she frees more as she goes, Terra swaddled onto her back with mud**
<ChadWinters`> If I knew there was going to be climbing, I would've stayed. <Id> Perhaps you should've made me big enough to carry you.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to Selena and begins turning into a wolf as he falls, aiming to do a big smash down into the gun.
<DeathStar> *The woman warps about, much like Dias and Fate; punching and the punch hitting him from a distance, appearing in his face and turning into a horrendoous elderich monster for a second before returning to normal as she resumes attacking him; suddenly he senses danger that if she lands a hit, he'll explode as she aims at him and goes bang*
<DeathStar> *Fate zooms in from behind*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias squats a bit then blurs to the side, the ground cracking below him.
<Seraphna> **Angela banks in the air and rises, sending a blast at the gun**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon does his best to form a somewhat reflective looking ice wall trying to divert the gun blast away than just outright shielding.
<DeathStar> <Fate> ... *aims and does her own exploding attack and slides beside Dias as she reforms*
<DeathStar> *Marcus slams into the gun and it begins ot spark massively*
<DeathStar> *Angela's attack then sheering it in half*
<DeathStar> *The damaged gun tries to lock onto them*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yeah no, I gotta see what I'm doing. I'm not used to that yet. 6He takes a deep breath and opens his eyes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps the wall, forming ehr Dark Edge and takign a running slash at the gun*
<Seraphna> **Si then leaps up, a fireball in the air ajnd blasts at the gun with a gflaming kick** FUUUUUU!
* ChadWinters` grunts in response
<DeathStar> *it begins to blow up, firing blasts all over the place, some being refected back*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *flies herself and Charlotte into a hole it made earlier, entering the Fortress*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a noise and leaps to get away from it.
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> I see that she's been trying to make you a weapon so she doesn't have to dirty her hand
<Seraphna> **Jaime at the top of the wall stops it and turns an entire side into mud, sending the captives down safely into mud** Whew...
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias dashes in low, his right hand dragging along the ground until he grabs something and hurls it at Nyarl then leaping up.
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> But the thing about us Elder Gods?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *runs toward Ren's hole to dive in*
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> The stories always say you can't get rid of us forever.
<Seraphna> **Alita chants something, holding out her book and murmuring**
<DeathStar> *Nyarl warps, he singing definitely affecting it's insanity influence*
<DeathStar> *As it grabs the object*
<Seraphna> **Thena glows and kicks it into high gear, enhancing the other girls singing**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Here's the thing. I was gonna get there regardless. I just chose to speed it up. 6He twists in the air and kicks the air above him, causing a cracking noise and then rockets down towards Nyarl, swinging his right hand for it's Jaw
<Xanatos> 6* Simon quickly tries to move into the fortress hole.
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts taking stock on where everyone is**
<Seraphna> **Angela starts moving in beyond the wall with Cheryl**
<DeathStar> *Nyarl smirks, hit in the jaw and goes flying; it lays there, as if defeated, then suddenly rises and without advertising the attack, DIas would sense his body ahs begun to explode near the right arm*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *begins to enter as Selena slips in*
<Seraphna> **Alita lets her spell off, casting a Full Heal on Dias from a distance**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias eyes go wide as attempts to kick the ground hard enough to get him away from taking the full damage
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes sure the gun is completely done if it's still firing wildly, otherwise he would move over to peer down at the fight.
* ChadWinters` finally crawls through, breathing heavy
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> I can see you why he's your chosen champion.
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> But should he be dealing with me instead of the fight they're all about to fight?
<Seraphna> *Jaime moves to help Fae and the Adelines if they need the help.**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias slides a bit charred flesh that starts heal from Alita.
<Alicia> * Jikuu looks towards Victoire once the gun stops firing, only heading into the hole once she nods at her
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You think you can keep me at bay long enough that I'll be late to help?
<DeathStar> *Her face turns black, with hundreds of eyes* Let us see.
<Seraphna> **Alita then winks and vanishes into the shadows, using Jaime's shadow as a port due to their mutual Shadow pacts**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias cracks his neck before sliding his feet apart, and dancing a bit. 1"You know what'll keep your kind away a long time. Someone to fear." 6He smirks before landing then launching forward at Nyarl, the ground cracking where he was.
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line lead the hallway, soon arriving where Cheryl is standing, wearing what looks to be a simple white outfit. The other Cheryl stares and Selena floats*
<DeathStar> Song 37: Reality
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What's so surprising?"
* ChadWinters` rubs the back of his neck as he looks at Cheryl, studying her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> ... *she turns to stare at them* You all just keep coming
<DeathStar> <Line> Of course.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Of course we do."
<Xanatos> <Simon> You attacked us most recently, did you not?
<Seraphna> Jaime> You were the one who decided to overfill your cup.
<ChadWinters`> This can all end without anymore issues if you relinquish your reality powers and leave.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> This is my reality, not yours
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, we're returning the favor.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...you haven't really been a responsible custodian."
<DeathStar> *She presses her hand to her face, mumbling to voices she can't hear*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Was it all worth it Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> Fine fine fine. Oh shut up. *Jaime vanishes*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> She truly prattles on too much
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her sword** What did you do?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... And return Jaime."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> Just erased her.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...
* ChadWinters` tenses up, his hand reaching above his holster, but not grabbing his gun. 1"And that's how you solve all your problems?
<DeathStar> *lowers her head, going quiet, then lifts it, her eyes glowing red with psionic energy*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You will give her back. *She leaps forward and begins to TK slam the other Cheryl around*
<Seraphna> Angela> You callous bitch. Return her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There's a bigger problem just outside. How are you going to make that go away?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...do we have anythign more constructive than beating ehr into submission until she gets tired of it and retaliates?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl watches Adeline trying to TK juggle her, with Cheryl 25 creating objects to slam her back and lock her down.*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Like what?
<DeathStar> <Ren> She seems insane
<DeathStar> <Ren> Mom is on her way with the ship
<Seraphna> **Angela launches a blast at 25**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms detection runes again, just to see if he can pick up what kind of energy was used on Jaime, like if it was only reality power or if it was something else.
<DeathStar> <Ren> But we need a few more minutes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, that was obvious going into this mission."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As much as I'd like to deal with her, are you willing to sacrifice Jaime for it?"
<DeathStar> *Cheryl 25 forms more versions of herself to pin Angela and vanish with her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> HEY
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I would like to...and now she got Angela."
<DeathStar> *She steps forward* <Cheryl> Quit erasing people!!
<DeathStar> *She forms her whip and goes at her now as Adeline breaks free*
<Alicia> * Jikuu arrives, a little late. "Do we have a plan?"
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue as he pulls out Ebony and lifts it, his eyes going silver.
<DeathStar> <Selena> You have a special sword?
<DeathStar> <Selena> Stab her
<Seraphna> Si> She erased Jaime and Mom....
<Seraphna> **Si is starting to look like she's made of fire** BRING MOM BACK! **She rushes in and joins the fight**
<DeathStar> Song 38: Reality 2
<Alicia> * Jikuu moves forwards, punching 25 Cheryl with emerald gauntlets
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Finally. Our bets bet is to beat her and then use the reality power to bring them back."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Her power is dropping the more she fights.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl tries to bind her, allowing Jikuu to punch the hell out of her, blood splurting about*
<Seraphna> **Si crosses the attack with a flaming kick that's somehow sharp**
* ChadWinters` begins firing shots, raining them in around Cheryl and Jikuu as he aims for joints
<DeathStar> *Cheryl 25 grunts in pain, kneeling as Line TK breaks finger and Ren leaps in and brings her hands down for a clubbig on her head*
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves in to assist
<Seraphna> Si> YOU BITCH! **she glowss with a pure white flame doubliung her stats and attacks as she pummels too**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then let's give her more places to focus. Charlotte, with me." *forms ehr tendrils and then uses them to lash at Cheryl 25*
<Alicia> * Charlotte assists Noire in that case
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Simon would detect a massive drain as Cheryl 25 powers up, making herself invincible*
<DeathStar> *rising up*
<DeathStar> Song 39: Reality 3
<Xanatos> <Simon> Everyone pull back now! Defensive positions.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> *throws Cheryl away and smacks Ren into the wall, who slides down.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms a dark matter ball and then slams it toward the floor under Cheryl 25s feet*
<Seraphna> **Si growls and punches at her still, berserker bun**
<DeathStar> *she drops*
* ChadWinters` tenses as he switches from offense to defense, his eyes locked on Cheryl
<DeathStar> *Along with Si*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...Okay
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets see if we can counter this
<Alicia> * Charlotte hisses at Cheryl 25, but does move back, fighting more defensively now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *aims her hand down*
<DeathStar> *suddenly Angela appears, naked next to her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If you can't damage her, damage her environment!"
<DeathStar> *along with Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Angela wheezes a bit** What the fuck...
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, confused at how everything's different from one moment to the next**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl strains, blood running down her body. Ren turns to eye her as Cheryl falls to her knees as she climbs out*
<DeathStar> *25
<Alicia> * Jikuu attempts to counter the reality powers directly, unable at damage Cheryl 25 directly
<Seraphna> **Alita shifts and pushes her hand against Cheryl, giving her a massive heal**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... *along with Jikuu's help, suddenly she blinks*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's gone. She's not immune
<DeathStar> <Cheryl 25> ... what?
<Seraphna> **Si rises up and punches her with a flaming torrent fist**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms ehr Dark Edge and then dashes at Cheryl 25 to try to slash her*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuuuck... YOU!
* ChadWinters` pulls out his other gun and starts firing shot after shot at 25, arcing them around people
<DeathStar> *she bursts into flames, slashed, then shot, falling down the hole*
<DeathStar> *Line leans over to stare*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *pulls Jaime over to her*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, then hugs onto her as she picks Terra up too**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Is it over?"
* ChadWinters` lowers his guns, breathing heavy, as his eye go from silver to their normal color
<Xanatos> 6* Simon casts a healing mist over everyone
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *Terra seems to be waking up when suddenly Dias and Fate come crashing through the wall*
<Seraphna> **Angela rises slowly as she forms armor around herself in lieu of clothes**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Did you win?"
<Seraphna> **Si then stumbles back, panting as she smokes**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We need to check to make sure she doesn't recover down there."
<DeathStar> Song 40 - Final Battle
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands, sliding.
<DeathStar> *Nyarl steps in, her body shifting and morphing, with the singers outside, the insanity effect strikes*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl grabs her head, looking dizzy as voices strike her*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ugh, getting sick
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> Aw, you all killed her already?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Nnnnn..."
<DeathStar> <NYarl> What a USEless TOY.
<Seraphna> **Jaime groans, but she;s been handling THIS for a while, she uses what effort she can to warp, and pull the singers in**
<DeathStar> *her voice sounding like nails on a board*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You weren't lying Fate. This one's one tough enemy. 6He spits out blood
<DeathStar> *she lifts her hand and Cheryl's broken body begins to climb up the hole*
* ChadWinters` drops to a knee as he winces
<DeathStar> *her bones breaking and creaking all the way*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon winces, falling to his knees to hold his head.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You did this to her, did you not?"
<DeathStar> *25's head lopping*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh come on..."
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> Me? No. I just gave her a push to enter your Cheryl's body a few years back. The idea.
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> But she was alWAYs like this,.
<Seraphna> Angela> Little voice in the back of ones head...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...she's coming back..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias pulls out another rubber ball from his back and drops it. "RAIL GUN KICK!" 6Dias snaps his foot forward and launches the ball at Nyarl
<DeathStar> *The broken 25 begins to stand on her feet like a puppet*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I kind of expected that..."
<ChadWinters`> Someone needs to shut that thing up.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, then turns drawing and swiping at the broken 25 with the Sword of Void**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Ah. We meet again. 6Id turns to study Nyarl
<DeathStar> *Fate leaps up and appears to punch Nyarl forward*
<Alicia> * Jikuu goes to punch 25
<Seraphna> **jaime keeps working her focus to get the singers inside, or get them to come themselves**
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> *is hit by the ball*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is probably working to help the singers inside.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slowly pushes himself to one leg, trying to focus but having trouble still.
<Seraphna> **Thena warps them in after zeroing in on Jaime's location**
<Seraphna> Thena> Encore time!
* ChadWinters` breathes heavy again as he starts counting.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *resumes the song once they are back on the scene!*
<DeathStar> *25 is slashed, blood falling out as it seems to form a whip and tries to wrap up Ren and Cheryl, and leap into the pit with them - to kill them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey hey no
<Alicia> * Victoire resumes the singing
<Seraphna> **Thena adds her backup. now somehow with laser effects**
<DeathStar> *Jikuu's punches though seem to be at least damaging her along the way*
<DeathStar> *the insanity effect diminishes*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus does the ol vanishing dash thing to try and close the distance to grab onto Ren and Cheryl.
<Seraphna> **Alita swipes at 25's whip with the Void Blade, trying to cancel it**
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias moves in after the ball connects and starts raining in punches at Nyarl with his right hand.
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs Ren, lashing at 25 with tendrils, letting Marcus focus on Cheryl
<DeathStar> *Marcus holds on, the three hanging there; the zombie looks up at Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *Staring all creepily, head flopping*
<DeathStar> *As the whip breaks and she falls*
<Seraphna> **Si looks down the hole at 25, then drops a fireball past the others at her** I saiiiiid. Fuuuuuuck. Yoooooou.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dashes forward and tries to slash the Cheryl 25 remains vertically*
<DeathStar> *Noire cuts her in half as she burns*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Marcus, you got our Cheryl?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lifts her up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> MArcus... my hero. <Ren> *hugs onto Char*
<DeathStar> *Nyarl meanwhile is hit all over, before her voice deeps*
<Seraphna> **Angela helps Marcus with Cheryl**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah just doing Chii's job for her.
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> This is quite amusing. Allow me to test you all.
<DeathStar> *She begins to grow*
<Seraphna> **Alita uses the voice amplify again for the singers**
<Seraphna> Thena> **uses Telepathic Bond with the other singers to sync their voices perfectly**
* ChadWinters` slowlys down his counting til he stops and he glances around a bit, keeping Nyarl in his side view.
<Alicia> * Victoire sings louder, as if trying to move a mountain with her mere voice
<DeathStar> *it slowly turns into that image sent in #taw, and towers over them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers at the thing that's been tormenting her for a while now and reaches up, pulling at part of the fortress above Nyarl and starts bringing it down on her**
<DeathStar> *The insanity effect tripling even more than the singing can handle*
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> I've arrived. Planning to shoot.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> Clear out of the Fortress.
<Seraphna> **Jaime pauses, looking to Thena, who includes Jikuu**
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts a mass group teleport out**
<Alicia> * Jikuu assists with the teleport
<DeathStar> *the creature begins to move unnautrally toward DIas and Fate*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> How did it get uglier?!
<DeathStar> *just lookingat it causing hallucinations and visions to go wrong*
<DeathStar> <Fate> We mustn't look at it directly.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts opening a shadow portal to escape*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl works on escaping via teleport. Adeline and Line holding on as Selena zooms out*
<Seraphna> **jaime takes everyone they can with her and the other two, including of course, Terra and Fae**
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Guess I get to see just how strong my instincts are. 6He looks downards as he moves in at Nyarl
<DeathStar> <Nyarl> *swings at Dias with it's tendrils, wrapping him up for a moment*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pushes himself upright, blood pouring from his eyes, nose, and ears due to the insanity effect, he begins to tap into both his circuits and his time abilities, many Simon's forming around as multiple ice spears form trying to stab down in different areas to pin Nyarl.
<DeathStar> *one of it's mouths trying to bite him*
<DeathStar> *it makes a noise as it's pinned*
<DeathStar> *Fate uses this time to punch*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Simon,, Dias, Fate! We need to evacuate!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lets out a roar as he tries to break free
<DeathStar> *Dias manages to break free, but not before something is on his arm a - little mark. Fate pauses, sensing something approaching and Fate grabs the two* <Fate> I got them
<DeathStar> <Fate> *disappears with them outside the Fortress*
<Xanatos> 6* The other Simons turns to ice and shatter, the real Simon gets close to a teleporter.
<DeathStar> *A moment or two later, the two PAXes powered by Kaori fires reality powered shots to blow the Fortress up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *makes ehr escape through her protal*
<DeathStar> *Noire goes flying next to Ren*
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers back at the fortress as the blast comes down. He glances at his arm, feeling around at it. "I think that thing branded me." 6He sniffs his arm.
<DeathStar> <Fate> It wants to stop you before you get strong
<DeathStar> Song 41 - Side After 1
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Thanks for the assist, ice guy.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, it is scared of us. Or what we may become, at least."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You mean I get another handicap to make myself stronger?
<Xanatos> <Simon> My pleasure. What little aid I could provide, that is.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Gack!"
<DeathStar> <Fate> I might vanish for a while after this. I stepped in and fought a being of a the lowest level. It's like the equivalent of my own ranking. I didn't want to do it so early.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Don't sell yourself short. You kept me from being forced to use my left hand.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I chose this form so I can still help you though
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias glances at Fate. 1"That's on me. I didn't get strong enough fast enough.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Wait, so there is a reason for the two forms?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Well, some of you have guessed it
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pulls out a handkerchief and wipes the blood away.
* ChadWinters` sits there, looking exhausted.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What am I forgetting...?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga floats the two PAXes, setting them up to leave for Line for the time being before she exits with Kaori*
<Seraphna> Jaime> The younger looking Fate is her older self.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I age backwards in time
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That's why I train with the older one. So the younger one get's stronger for me to train with to get stronger. It's my brilliant Infinite Loop Training Regimen.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yes. I'm stronger now thanks to our training
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Why did I not...?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So what's the plan here, Line sticks around to rebuild her home and we fuck off back to ours?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That reality power has to go somewhere doesn't it? Any way to know where?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I Think we should keep an eye on her. *eyes Line* She's a little tricky herself. She stole all those ships.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And your second in command is taht Charlotte.
* ChadWinters` glances at Fate. 1"Curios question then. When do you die then.
<DeathStar> <Fate> My point in time right now doesn't go beyond the Serpent. The Serpent right now is the main threat since it keeps destroying Yggdrasil.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Which would suit Nyarl just as much
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Right. No Yggdrasil, no reality."
<DeathStar> <Fate> But if you all survive, I want to be ready for Nyarl, since it would turn this into a hellscape
<DeathStar> <Fate> Not just this reality, but all of the multiverse.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Can't we... stop the serpent?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> I believe you have a chance yes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We will.
* ChadWinters` rubs his face. 1"I figured you were always hiding something. I just wonder if this is what's got me cautious of you."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Oh... is there a reason that Yggdrasil is off limits to go to?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...sounds delightful."
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is something I would have kept hiding until after the Serpent.
<DeathStar> <Fate> But it is out. Nyarl will likely go back to corrupting other realities for now.
<DeathStar> <Fate> The more realities that fall into hellish landscapes, the more your reality will weaken.
<DeathStar> <Line> This came close...
<Xanatos> <Simon> It would seem Taiga's team has a new objective.
* ChadWinters` studies Fate. 1"How many of you are there. Of your kind."
<DeathStar> <Fate> *peers upward, at the sky*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Wooh boy I am exhausted.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Is that your answer?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> Well, a lot. Your reality has a lot of people, right? A reality full of people, with it's own multiverse. The higher up you go the planes of existence, the more... *She looks for the word* Better things are?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm... then it sounds like our mission just changed."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus offers Dias the other half of his jerky.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oooh jerky. 6He eats it.
<DeathStar> <Fate> The closer to perfection it is? The closer to your perfect self almost.
<DeathStar> <Fate> And the opposite is true.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...I'm hungry too."
<DeathStar> <Fate> I was the only one willing to leave that
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If you didn't we would've been dead already. We owe you a lot, Fate.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets head back.
<DeathStar> *She works on the gate; Terra and Fae study Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Terra> Sorry we were the bad guys
<ChadWinters`> Yet you're being watched to make sure you don't cross any lines.
<DeathStar> <Fae> *nod*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pats their heads**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But you grew past it, so we forgive you."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You can use what you have to make this reality better.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Be your best self." *she pauses* "Hey, Line? Tell my counterpart that too."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Maybe one day I'll be allowed to take some of you out there - along the higher planes of existence. Some of you already traveled the downward gateways
<DeathStar> <Fate> Yggdrasil can do more than just go along your own multiverse. There is a whole journey out there for people interested.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 189 seconds)
<ChadWinters`> We should get back, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl nods*
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session600
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs Terra tight**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I want you to help Momma Line any way you can okay?
<DeathStar> *they nod while hugging*
<DeathStar> <Terra> Oka
<DeathStar> *TAiga opens the gate*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets go
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well, luckily I've got some new mountains to climb while you're gone Fate.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I'm counting on you. *She vanishes* <Cheryl> Well, the older -- younger - her will be around
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets get back to the PAX
<DeathStar> <Selena> I need to talk to Nico and the others. LEts go
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis stands at the balcony, eyeing Geyze down below*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Didn't expect this would be the way we returned here.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *is working in engineering*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yeah. I imagine the people here will start to become unhappy with us---
<DeathStar> *Suddenly the PAX shakes*
<DeathStar> Song 41 - Side After 2
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances down the side*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah shit, what now.
<DeathStar> *A large cthulhu like monster is on the side of the PAX, holding it*
<DeathStar> *pushing against it*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....
<DeathStar> *Erevis holds her head, wincing at the staring*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Permission to blast it into oblivion.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Granted."
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh aims the cannons and blasts at it**
<DeathStar> *Athena in the Idol Shop* Am on the way.
<DeathStar> *She flies over, singing*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan leans back, wiping blood from his nose.
<DeathStar> *The monster looks amused, tilting the PAX*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan leans back around quickly and fire a sustained laser out of his eye down toward the monster.
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh keeps blasting it**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would try to leap down and stab with the broken Sword, but...
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> The proper one ain't here right now right?
<DeathStar> *Wind appears in the sky, still sporting a wound, and fires hyperspace; Ao joining him*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That would be suicide."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek joins them
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wind..."
<Seraphna> **Sam appears and stands on one of the PAX walls, firing down too**
<DeathStar> *all the attacks seem to drive it off a bit*
<DeathStar> *As the others arrive from Asteroid C; the AQuarius takes off*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan shifts back now, dropping the attack and holding his face as the burns slowly start to heal.
<Seraphna> **The earth shifts under the PAX and settles it again, then trees reinforce it**
<DeathStar> <Ben> I am locked on.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Ready to fire.
<DeathStar> <Ren> That thing is back alreadY?
<Seraphna> Cookie> BOOM BOOM TIME! **she takes them into an attack run**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper would start to fire once they're in range.
<Seraphna> **Alita looking annoyed as she's set down, sends a torrent of Abyssal Water at the beast** Get off our planet you fiend.
<DeathStar> *the monster is hit by the monster's fires as Erevis kneels by Xanatos. It seems to be reaching in for everyone it can to mark*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Fire spirit weapons before it gets too close."
<DeathStar> <Ben> Spirit Weapons set to max.
<DeathStar> *As Alita manages to drive it off a bit, Erevis points to Kyouki*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper fires those too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is something on the ground
<DeathStar> *Pepper finally "DestroyS" it and the creature retreats*
<Seraphna> **A fist of Earth forms near the ship and punches at it, glowing with Hyperspace** Enough of that you bitch. **Jaime lands on the balcony**
<DeathStar> *Jaime barely misses*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and starts to reform it** Spoil my cool entrance.
<DeathStar> <Ren> One moment let foxhole to the ground.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan slowly stands upright, peering down at its retreat, he squint to see what Erevis was trying to point out.
<DeathStar> *Ren taakes Charlotte and vanishes*
<DeathStar> *going 5 miles down, it must be rather large to see*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What is that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It looks like lines in the ground
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That was not there before
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did the thing try to mark my planet?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. IT does look like the lines on your body
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Can we remove it?"
<DeathStar> *Ren and Charlotte stand there, seeing mssive w lines*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and starts uprooting the earth around the symbol** I have had it with this filth.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wow.
<DeathStar> *Jaime uproots the area, but the mark just remains*
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems close to losing her cool again, eyes glowing**
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to break the lines, even though it likely fails
<Xanatos> <Xan> Jaime. It's okay, we'll take care of it.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan puts a hand on Jaime's shoulder.
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes a breath, closing her eyes**
<Seraphna> Jaime> It keeps taking and taking from me... from my daughters.
<DeathStar> *Adeline hugs her*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We'll have to start taking from it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will figure it out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits there on the PAX, glancing at everyone*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It looks like, going over all this, the PAX is grounded for the time being; Asarar is in a "coma" state until Tora and Ymir can repair her. Macross HQ has been shut down and we're half debating perhaps powering up the towers to see if it can keep that thing out
<DeathStar> <Taiga> For now we shut them down and let the Elder Spirits ot
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can those things keep it out? <Taiga> I don't know with it being marked. But it's a possibilit.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And we lost adult Fate. Bonnie is MIA after being eaten by that thing. Chances are not good for her well being.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "From what I recall, it attacked the Academy after the towers went online."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Has Ymir considered trying to manufacture spirits especially tied to the towers? It seems like it could be a good solution.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Probably to bring them down
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll bring up the idea.
* ChadWinters` leans back as he listens.
<ChadWinters`> You want to make 'spirits' to act as straight batteries?
<DeathStar> <Ren> That seems mean
<Seraphna> Jaime> If Mireille is a proof of concept, then yes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Perhaps they can me made so they don't need to be tied to the system directly.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "They would need to have lives outside of being Tower Spirits."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Also, you should ask Mireille, Melodie and Aimee."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **rubs her face** And Cam'dee. We know they can have lives outside the ships, so the towers should be similar.
<ChadWinters`> I'd have to see what the specs are for the tower, but one of Id's spirit shells could potentially work.
<Seraphna> Jaime> As it stands the only option is trapping existing spirits in them.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, is there anything else important to discuss? Otherwise I'll adjourn
<Seraphna> Angela> THere's one thing.
<Xanatos> <Simon> If we could interface the towers with a spirit ID then we could cycle out the battery...something to look into at least.
<Seraphna> Angela> How many of you have been marked now?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "An important thing to note... Ship Spirits do not need to be constantly feeding the ship."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. That's a good question. And the mark grows larger right? jaime has two segments
<ChadWinters`> Apparently Dias was marked.
<Seraphna> Angela> We may want to work with Fate to directly find a means to remove it or keep it at bay.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can a spirit be marked?
<Seraphna> Angela> Now that we know cutting off the affected material does nothing.
<ChadWinters`> Which he took as a badge of honor. 6He rubs his face. 1"If it's not one thing it's something else.
<ChadWinters`> You maybe hard pressed to find Fate for awhile.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We also do not know why I wasn't marked. I'm checked myself extensively since...nothing. There may be a grander plan at play with those who are being marked.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... child Fate then."
<Xanatos> (I've)
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Great.
<Seraphna> Angela> The older looking one has been the one largely helping hold the marks at bay.
<ChadWinters`> I'd say we keep tabs on those who've been marked. Weekly check ins, full medical scans
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting. So the littler she grows, the more of afighter she became
<Seraphna> Angela> Agreed, it's a start.
<ChadWinters`> Dias' doing, Erevis.
<Seraphna> Angela> Perhaps we can find some means to block the connection, with study.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright, I imagine for the time being the PAX will be tied up here on Geyze having to deal with the local populace
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jaime might be needed here. So all of you might need to carry on for a bit
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is also a great chance to work on connecting the PAX to Spirit Technology.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If Myria agrees
<ChadWinters`> I'll keep looking into this creature. Seeing if we can find more information on it.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *from a vent* "No objections!"
<Seraphna> Angela> Dork, you can sit in on the meetings you know.
* ChadWinters` glances at his datapad. 1"Erevis, you may want to assure the other races that you're not stock piling PAX's.
<DeathStar> <Ren> DDoes she usually do that?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah just assume she's around watching at all times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> True. We are back to one, but they do not know that. I will speak with Lenneth and Iko
<DeathStar> -Secret Epilogue Paw Paw-
<DeathStar> *Athena stands over the pieces of the PAXes she's gathered for her Idol Ship*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mwahahaha, soon Athena will be #1!!!
