<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-654.8.1
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes everyone up, holding up suits before Xanatos, Jaime, Ren, Noire, Charlotte, Kaoria and so on* <Taiga> They look like they'll fit
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans back against a wall, eating something while she watches*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu. Didn't you design them to autofit?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They can only auto-fit so much if I'm off by a lot.
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes one and starts to change**
<Sara> * Kaori changes into hers without comment
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and looks hers over before clouding herself in darkness**
<XanTop> 6* Xan peers his suit over and squints at it it.
<DeathStar> *Ren quietly changes with Kaori*
<XanTop> <Xan> My ass is bigger than this.
<Alicia> * Charlotte changes too, hoping Taiga at least made sure the measurements were close
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... Taiga is usually not off by much." *goes to change*
<DeathStar> *indeed, it looks like Taiga is pretty spot-on, not needing to use the auto-fit option that much*
<Seraphna> **Si fixes her own and then grabs Taiga** You need one on too?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Wha?! *as she's grabbed* What, I can dress.
<XanTop> <Xan> The crushing reality of having a flat ass. 6* He sighs and moves to change.
<DeathStar> *Erevis munches on her apple, eyeing Xanatos' ass*
<Seraphna> Jaime> NO offense dad, but I'm glad I got Mom's.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not complained that much over the years. Besides, if I want bubble butts, I have Megumi. Or Kaori.
<Sara> <Kaori> Hey!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *walks back over to the group* "...why are you conversing about derrieres?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Because we hadn't had yours in the room to be distracted with yet dear.
<DeathStar> *Ren steps out, adjusting her suit with Charlotte*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... oh you are here, Kaelan. I had not noticed before."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's a Dark One reunion. If only Andrea were here."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *gets suited up. As they finish, Taiga comes up, scowling; they're greeted at the computers by Megumi, who is suited up as well*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What's up?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm, well we all look good... I think. I have no eye for male aesthetics.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I'm shocked if you have any eyes for anything other than lust
<DeathStar> *she eyes her paperwork as she speaks*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> THey do help with the lust. **She nods**
<XanTop> 6* Xan looks his pistol over, then holsters is.
<XanTop> (it)
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Alright, if everyone is ready, come over to me.
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Kaelan approach**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads over to MEgumi*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> How much do you know about the target? *She asks as she stands on her tip toes, injecting something into Jaime and Kaelan's neck, then Noire's*
<Seraphna> **Jaime ducks for her a bit, as if used to being randomly jabbed with things by her mother**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What is that?"
<XanTop> <Xan> A nice refresher on the target would be good.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It'll allow me to track you from here, make sure you are who you are, and if necessary and one of you becomes compromised force you to return immediately using the system here without having to return to the gates
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Compromised? What do you expect us to deal with?"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> You're going after another version of Jaime - call her an alternate reality version, a future version or whatever that seems to have show signs of powers on the scale of Dias, massive regeneration abilities - she's returned from being practically blown up at one point. And has powerful strength along with normal Jaime powers.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "And a massive ego."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> She's set up shop in Tareh for some reason but I cannot believe it will last for long.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **Muses** Yeah she has a Weapon, Dragoon, Progenitor and possibly more powers.
<Seraphna> Jaime> My own copy choices seem to be radically different.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying..."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> If "it" has brought her back, we cannot discount any other surprises she might have now as well
<DeathStar> <Ren> so basically, we have no idea what we're getting into.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm not a fan of her messing around on my planet.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So... Jaime... how do we kill you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So how are we going to approach this. Steathily and trying to find information, or striking at her with everything we have?
<XanTop> <Xan> Dias-level but we have no Dias? This sounds dangerous.
<Seraphna> Jaime> The only thing I can think to provide as an edge is I know where she got her copy powers... not sure if she does. But I have a similar DNA splicing that Aya has.
<DeathStar> *Megumi finishes giving shots.* <Megumi> Athena's team is on stand by to aid you if you need more firepower. Their team is on standby to aid your group as well as any of the other groups that might need back up for the other sins. But Athena felt your team might need it the most so she's camped outside the Station with her Idol Ship at the moment
<DeathStar> *Megumi hands Xanatos the codes to contact her*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I should go at least. Two reality wielders are better than one, right?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's also a lot easier to kill me than this version of me...
<DeathStar> <Megumi> If you feel you're needed out there, suit up and I'll give you a shot
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You know... those annoyign pirates from the Serpent War, their technology would be useful now."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Wasn't it also disgustingly wrong?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> In fact I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, as I'm a Summoni who can't bring her spirits in.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That might be why she chose another reality.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Megumi will work on providing you stuff to help out
<XanTop> * Xan takes the codes and sends Athena a heart emoji with a picture of a quote about her being a great daughter.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But it'll take time unfortunately.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm.. I'm just saying..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can remain here if you want to help speed it up, or I can go as firepower. Which would you prefer?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'd say speed it up, then come in when we really need you for the firepower.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Until then we'll borrow your Fire Bunny.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and takes a seat with Megumi*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... agreed. Until we are ready to engage, having countermeasures ready is more valuable."
<DeathStar> *Athena floods Xan's timeline with famfrit hanging from trees*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It'd be nice to have more intel, but we can't get it without risking losing the element of surprise."
<Seraphna> **Jaime huffs, but likes the pictures**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think if we got intel we'd have the surprise. She doesn't really seem to be hiding so she'll already assume we're coming.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ready everyone?
<Sara> <Kaori> I... guess so
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... let's."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods, and glances at Kaori* You do have a bit of a butt in that suit
<DeathStar> *Ren activates the gate and leaps through before Kaori or Charlotte can retaliate*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan, Jaime and Si hop through**
<DeathStar> *Erevis casually walks through and the group arrives inside the castle, which looks surprisingly quiet, torches out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves through the gate*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads through, followed by Victoire
<XanTop> 6* Xan hops through
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Compared to the Cthonic entrance that was here last time... I'll take creepy darkness.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...When did I ever find darkness creepy...
<DeathStar> *Erevis activates enough hyperspace to look around and finds the entire place has been sealed off*
<DeathStar> *the entry way having been closed off sometime ago*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **pauses a moment** THe Shrine is fine. I can try taking us there from here?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Someone sealed the doorway
<DeathStar> <Ren> Meaning they sealed the gate
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Of course, it's the only way into Tareh now.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you surprised?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> WHich makes me wonder how Jaime got here... unless she was here before my wife sealed the planet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are not sure of the details yet.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Let's investigate this place first."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well we can go right to my daughter and ask. My shadow is there with her.
<DeathStar> *Erevis sweeps her hand; laying about are signs of what looks to be a battle*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around and frowns** So there was a fight after your last one here... and then it was sealed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Try your teleport
<XanTop> 6* Xan activates a light and moves around to investigate for something odd
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and tries to SHadow Jump the group to the Shrine**
<Alicia> * Victoire tries foxholes should that fail
<DeathStar> *Xan would find arrows, broken blades, if he looks hard, a bone shard; as Kaelan tries to jump to her shadow something blocks her into the room. As does Victoire*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *she peers at the two, then at the others*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This is a through seal.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Odd, I can touch my shadow but I can't leave to it.
<DeathStar> <Ren> And that means?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Someone set up some kind of jamming field and knew those powers to shut down.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and glows green, trying to feel out the stonework**
<XanTop> <Xan> I think there's some bone here.
<DeathStar> *it appears to be a normal cement stones found in this era, but it looks to be lathered with something else*
<XanTop> <Xan> Anyone here use bones in their gear or equipment?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Stonework... but something was coated on the stones.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think so. I wonder if some sort of battle occurred at the gate
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No, it's not as efficient as using regular tech."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... if I had to guess, most of our abilities won't get us out, but raw strength might if we attack there. **She points where the doorway should be**
<Seraphna> Jaime> If other me set this up, I'd use the one thing I don't have in my arsenal as the key.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...which is?"
<XanTop> 6* Xan glances at Jaime and moves over to test the strength of the wall with his beam saber, activating it and pushing it in to see if it starts to melt through.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you going to be okay?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm strong but I'd probably shatter trying to punch through a solid stone wall without powers.
<DeathStar> *As she watches the saber push through*
<Seraphna> Jaime> SHe's got Dias'
<Sara> <Kaori> Hmm...
<Seraphna> strength
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Looks like we can force it.
<DeathStar> *Xan makes a small hole, but not enough to get all the way through*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms a shadow blade and starts helping with the cutting**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You really think she'd use raw strength as a key?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> You call call me the brute force sometimes... she's what I'd be if I really was.
<Seraphna> **all call
<XanTop> 6* Xan keeps cutting with Kaelan at least to weaken it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... I see..." *forms her Dark Edge and tries to carve through*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should I try biting it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Starting to wonder what would happen if I tried to copy her... but that seems like a crazy risk. Then again so is copying Dias.
<DeathStar> *Ren looks at Kaori and Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **Jaime puts on the Titan's Glove and starts working on moving the stone with punches**
<Sara> <Kaori> ...Do you have a good dental plan?
<DeathStar> *The group slowly, slowly hacks at the wall, enough to make a hole; after driving enough to make a hole, those with teleport powers feel the block vanish*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... being here is a crazy risk too."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Don't break your teeth."
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. sort of.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep, it was the room itself blocking us.
<XanTop> <Xan> Must be some interesting tech to block abilities like that.
<DeathStar> *At that moment, someone on the other side aims and fires stuff through the hole at them; looking energy weapons. They fly at Xan and Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Then bounce and come back at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Down!
<Seraphna> **Jaime drags Xan down with her right before it happens**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hey! RUDE!
<Sara> * Kaori ducks reflexively even though it wasn't even coming at her
<DeathStar> *good thing since Kaori was next*
<DeathStar> *Then Charlotte*
<XanTop> 6* Xan lays there blinking.
<XanTop> <Xan> ...thanks kiddo.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms a foxhole to outside and then leaps ouut, drawing a holy sword**
<DeathStar> *Ren yelps and ducks with her as Noire gets a blast in the butt*
<Seraphna> **Si shrugs and leaps after her**
<Alicia> * Charlotte ducks under
<DeathStar> *The attacker peers through the hole, not noticing them yet*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be holding some sort of energy crossbow*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts over silently and moves to get a jump on the attacker, not moving to struke, but put the blade to their neck**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...wh..who dares?!"
<DeathStar> *Ren crawls thruough the foxhole*
<DeathStar> *The attacker pauses, debating what to do*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is that how you greet the wife of the Heart?
<DeathStar> *They turn and aim at Kaelan anyway, trying to fire away*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come in here! I dare you to do that face to face!"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts to dodge, bringing the blade at their next dopwn at the attacker's arm**
<Seraphna> *neck down
<Seraphna> **Si holds a fireball at the ready** Jeez! Aggressive much!?
<XanTop> 6* Xan gets to his feet and moves to hop through, pulling his pistol out
<DeathStar> *the attacker's arm I believe is taken and it falls off, looking more machine than flesh, bleeding sparking* <Ren> What the fu---
<DeathStar> *The attacker stumbles, trying to grab his weapon*
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps out, holding her hand up*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...Biotect!?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Stand down.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, they're not just a cyborg?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime floats the weapon away**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Even if it is one, what is doing on Tareh?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> As the founder of the Kingdom you stand in, identify yourself.
<XanTop> 6* Xan slides over, aiming the pistol but attmepts to knocks the crossbow away.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *emerges, looking a bit ticked off*
<DeathStar> *the attacker eyes Jaime, clear recognition in his eyes, but then realizes something; with his weapon taken from him, he seems to slump to his knees and falls over, no longer movig*
<XanTop> <Xan> Uh. What happened?
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks around the castle* <Erevis> Are there more of them?
<Seraphna> Jaime> What the... fuck? It knew me?
<XanTop> 6* Xan looks around with Erevis, to see if anyone is watching them.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...why is this the surprising thing?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...I think your double brought her own troops.
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's safe to come out, Kaori
<DeathStar> *Ren kneels by it, tapping it's head* Can someone access this thing?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... we could send it back to Taiga."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, pulling out one of Adeline's datapads and looking for a place to plug in**
<Sara> * Kaori makes a face
<DeathStar> *after searching all over, Jaime finds a spot in the ear*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and hooks in, then sees what they can access** Got a port here.
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> If you can link up, Taiga and I will look over whatever you send to us
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and connects it to the communications**
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks down the halls; now and again, Xanatos will hear footsteps, indicating they are not alone*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs a bit** I'm hoping the gate is all that woman touched in Neer.
<XanTop> <Xan> Someone's coming, look alive.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would be wise not to be out in the halls incase of patrol
<Seraphna> Jaime> Setting this up to send then. **she props it on the body and then lifts the Biotect thing over her shoulder**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses and peers for a place they can wait**
<DeathStar> *It's surprisingly light - well for a human*
<XanTop> 6* Xan picks up the energy crossbow, and looks for a place for them to move too.
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Biotects are supposed to be heavy right?
<DeathStar> *down the hallway, away from the sounds, seems to be another set of doors, leading toward the throne room*
<Sara> <Kaori> I think so...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe it depends on the model. I am told that Asarar is quite light
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well, time to get answers and a place to wait. **she moves fo rthe door**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... I suppose Kaelan does know her way around.." *follows*
<XanTop> 6* Xan follows Kaelan
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows, carrying their inevitable new recruit and / or inevitable traitor**
<Alicia> * Charlotte considers waiting to ambush the patrol, then follows
<DeathStar> *They end up in what looks to be the throne room area, which lacks a certain queen. No one sits on it and it's quite empty as they step inside*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Downloading the information currently
<DeathStar> *Ren looks around and then plops on the throne*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **frowns, walking up somberly to the throne and taking a seat as she tries to think**
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes Kaelan on her lap*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Sit on my throne you're my royal cushion.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh so this is your throne now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Get off my wife."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Technically it was when it was first built. **tendrils pluck up Ren and put her in Kaelan's lap**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So it has always been mine.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Grrr
<DeathStar> <Mercy> *Steps through the doors* And here I thought it was *mine* *she glances at the body with stuff in it's head* Mind explaining this to me?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It tried to kill us. ANd wouldn't stop.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh good, you are alive dear.
<DeathStar> *Mercy slowly walks closer* Explain.
<XanTop> <Xan> They shot at us with this. 6* He shows the crossbow
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tendrils up Mercy and pulls her into her lap** We came through the portal and found a sealed room. Broke the seal and it started shooting.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I thought we already had explained."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...do not tell us that it was meant to keep the other Jaime out..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We detected her over here already...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then allow her to spak for herself." *gestures at MErcy*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan groans softly, then tosses Mercy away**
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Originally ..yes. We did try to do such a thing. Keep her out. *she is tossed and rolls*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ow.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> *throws a dagger at Jaime's face at light speed, faster than a human*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls the energy dagger out***
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Down.
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts aside right before she does**
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Can you not."
<DeathStar> *Mercy grabs for the crossbows*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What the fuck!>
<DeathStar> *out of Xan's hands*
<XanTop> 6* Xan blinks and fires a stun shot for Mercy
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to lash MErcy down with ehr tendrils*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slams her sword agains the floor an sends a holy wave for Mercy**
<Alicia> <Victoire> "This is the sane Jaime, you don't need to resort to violence."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Whose side are you on!?
<DeathStar> *Mercy is hit and seems by both attacks, her body shifting, then grips a piece of the wall and throws it at Jaime* <Megumi on comms> I might have some answers
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> Which you will not like
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Starting to get what you were alluding to.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Make it a fast explanation then!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs it with Titan's hand, spining to toss it right back**
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> I'm having two theories.
<DeathStar> *the piece of the wall hits Mercy and lands her on her back for a second*
<Alicia> * CHarlotte attempts to tie up Mercy with tendrils
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hurls her sword at Mercy, which turns into a woman and lands helping pin and secure her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to help Charlotte pin Mercy*
<XanTop> 6* Xan backs up to the door and peers out to see if any reinforcements are coming
<Seraphna> **Kaelan stands slowly, her wound knitting thanks to Truth, but she still grips the point**
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> Someone put these people's brains into cyborg bodies in order to control them; I'm detecting in this one's body lots of command chips to capture the enemy and bring them to you know who. Or someone has the real bodies somewhere and is transmitting their thoughts into these bodies. Either way, that Mercy is in a "biotect" body too
<DeathStar> <MEgumi on comms> With commands to kill you or take you in
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is it her brain or not? Kinda matters if we destroy it.
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> Flip a coin
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh come on, we should be able to detect a brain.
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "That's not an answer!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Erevis, you're good with brains.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One moment.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge* "Then I shall act, if I must."
<DeathStar> *Xanatos would be seeing outside the door, troops gathering to come in*
<XanTop> 6* Xan shuts the door.
<XanTop> <Xan> We have a bunch of people gathering outside
<DeathStar> *Mercy seems to be straining her body to try to get free*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **sighs and walks to the center of the group and starts forming a big puddle of darkness for a jump**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We'll have to go to my daughter then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not her body. I believe the real her is elsewhere.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *nods and slashes to bisect the biotect
<Seraphna> **Truth nods, then helps put it out of commission**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course the feedback might be just as bad
<DeathStar> *Erevis notes a moment later*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She's a tough lady.
<DeathStar> *Mercy's Biotect falls over*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Everyone gather around. We can't fight an army of those things.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... very well." *moves over*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Question Jaime
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Where did all these things come from? You're not smart emough to make them
<XanTop> 6* Xan snatches up the energy crossbow, maybe he can make use of it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Either she found her own Adeline or someone else. Hell, she might have the cooperation of her own Suisen Empire.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Which could mean Momma Meg and many others.
<XanTop> <Xan> Let's leave now and discuss it after
<Seraphna> Jaime> WAit... **She takes a sample of the broken Mercy, then joins the group**
<Seraphna> **kaelan tries to jump them to the Shrine this time**
<DeathStar> *they land in water*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I seem to favor the bath in my jumps.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers aorund**
<Seraphna> **Jaime distractedly queries Megumi to verify the DNA makeup of the part, looking for Dragoon**
<DeathStar> *a koi fish floats past Kaori*
<Sara> <Kaori> Wha...?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Getting soaked is better than hitting the ground."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...is this place still safe?"
<DeathStar> *They seem to be in a shrine pond*
<DeathStar> *with fish*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My shadow would have noticed I think...
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks around at the waters*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls herself out and stretches**
<DeathStar> *Shizuki opens the shrine doors and comes out to eye them* <Shizuki> You know you can use the front doors
<XanTop> 6* Xan pulls himself out of the pond and shakes off like a dog.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... there was an army between us and the normal way here."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We had to leave Neer in a hurry dear.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> *gracefully bows* I welcome you to the Daemon Realm. Has something happened?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Short answer: Yes."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Evil me stole Neer it seems.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> ... *Blinks at Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What Jaime said."
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Ah, we all do have our dark sides I suppose
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves over and looks over her daughter**
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Mine is eating too much muffins
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You’ve been safe dear?
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> It has been rather boring
<Seraphna> **A second Kaelan, looking a little shadowy steps in** boring is good sometimes.
<DeathStar> *Ren muses* So nothing has happened here. I wonder what that means
<XanTop> <Xan> How do we know they're not also robots?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well one is my shadow clone.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Robots?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My daughter… **glows with moonlight to check her daughter’s resonance**
<DeathStar> *Shizuki eyes herself*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We could lightly stab her
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This is the real Shizu in all her beauty.
<DeathStar> *Shizuki eyes Erevis with fangs*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No need. My moonlight comes from her divine spark.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright. So. *sits down on the floor*
<XanTop> 6* Xan seems satisfied with the glowing thing and sits down to look the crossbow over.
<DeathStar> <Ren> What is Jaime II after then
<DeathStar> <Ren> She wasn't at the castle
<DeathStar> <Ren> What could Tareh offer that our world doesn't
<Seraphna> Jaime> If the programming means something… us.
<Sara> * Kaori scratches her head. "Maybe they have better food?"
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Our food is divine
<DeathStar> *she claps her hands so servants bring some in for everyone*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We have the prettiest foxes too.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...could we be serious?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, Ren's here."
<Alicia> <Victoire> "And me."
<Seraphna> Truth> She could be here to find powers not available in our reality.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren asks a valid question. What does she want that Tareh specifically has? If its to capture us, is it someone specifically? Could she gamble that?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I've read over Lorelei's files from when she was here
<XanTop> <Xan> Some of you are experts on this place, how do the powers differ here than back home?
<DeathStar> <Ren> They blew up that ancient PAX I believe
<DeathStar> <Ren> So she can't get her hands on that
<DeathStar> <Ren> The leylines here are super unstable
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmn... the biotects are a Kumen technology, yes?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But that doesn't mean they don't work."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct. I am unsure how it has appeared here
<Seraphna> Kalean> There's the Angel, our version of the Templars, remnants of the Gods.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright, so what would she want with the Angel?
<XanTop> <Xan> Copy her power?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh that's fascinating to explain actually. The PAX got here because this planet was once Luna Colony. When the Gods destroyed Earth, some version of your Angela brought it here with the help of a Progenitor to hide it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos is right
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to look at what does this world have to offer for her copying ability
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What is unique
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Angel is one
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...remember that we stumbled on to a Kumen where that world's Ymir had grown tyrannical. Perhaps that is her source."
<Sara> <Kaori> You think so...?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I imagine, Kaori, you're a target too
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well the ANgel power is pretty unique, though she could have gone after Lore in that case. They have their own kind of Dragoon here too, connected to the Leylines.
<DeathStar> <Ren> There's only a few Kaoris and right now Victoire
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I also recall that Ymir made an alliance with the other Adeline... perhaps she was open to workign with this other Jaime."
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Ah...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah, if I went power crazy one of the most obvious powers I'd want to attain is the Reality Seed.
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm always a target. *she droops*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Kaori and Victy have it, Lorelei's Angel power probably came from it too.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... the reality Seed is also the largest threat to her. A reality wielder who moved first could potentially erase the other Jaime's powers."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or just erase her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Also true."
<DeathStar> *Taiga can be heard looking through their files trying to possibily back track to look up the Ymir reality*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think that happened to me once. I'm not thrilled at the idea of it.
<DeathStar> <Ren> The fact is Kaori, you and the other Jaime are in a way queens to each other possibly
<Seraphna> **Jaime sniffs**
<DeathStar> <Ren> I imagine she'd love to grab you, but at the same time she's afraid to get neat you
<Sara> <Kaori> Queens to each other? Like... she dresses up in overly fancy clothing with heavy makeup?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh like in Chess.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I like chess
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah they're the most valuable pieces, they can go anywhere, do anything, but they're most endangered by their other side.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> Speaking of chess. *She can be heard at the station talking to a kid* You two know you left a little pawn here for me to take care of while you're on an adventure
<DeathStar> *throwing ball sounds can be heard*
<Seraphna> Si> Just have our kid watch her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Did you expect us to take her along?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright
<DeathStar> *Ren leans back and mutes Taiga*
<Seraphna> Si> There's only a 40% chance they'll team up and spin off into a new series.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So do we seek out the Angel?
<Seraphna> **Truth muses and feels out for Angel energy**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Where would she be, and is it safe to look for her?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ..>We're about to find out.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I know where she is!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's good!"
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> She's.... *looks impish* Up there
<DeathStar> *points to the sky*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...Oh with the Illium?
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Yep!
<XanTop> 6* Xan looks up
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I suppose it has been a while since I tempted Amaterasu with my presence.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That's bad."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait, isn't that like red flags?
<DeathStar> <Ren> The ILLIUM?
<Seraphna> Jaime> They're a good version here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For how long with Jaime here
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...so she may be out of the other Jaime's reach for the moment."
<Seraphna> Jaime> They're the Illium that joined together to fight off Gartareh and his children in space for eons before the Angel came, I believe.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It might be a powder keg
<Seraphna> Jaime> There's a chance she recruited them.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Pardon?
<Seraphna> Jaime> She is after all a direct daughter to Illium's first Empress. Mom.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Paaardon?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Illium came from the Suisen Empire.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Xanatos
<Seraphna> Jaime> In most cases they're like, our evil version if we evolved wrong.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Serious question
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Subject change. What do *we* do?"
<XanTop> <Xan> What's your question?
<DeathStar> <Ren> If we shoot Jaime here, what are the odds that the other Jaime vanishes due to time wimey stuff
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey she's an alternate reality!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Zero percent."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Or future version
<XanTop> <Xan> Yeah normally that's not how these things work.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Drat
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Actually the Illium came about following Lenneth's family line.
<XanTop> <Xan> Besides, I like Jaime too much.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So even killing me wouldn't prevent that. And thanks Dad.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I'll take you to how we meet with them
<DeathStar> *She rises; right as a massive feast arrives*
<DeathStar> *complete with all of Charlotte and Kaori's favorite foods*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> ...Ummm... did we do that?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Right now? But the food just came!"
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I ordered it for you
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh right. Lost track. **She giggles and eats a bit**
<DeathStar> <Ren> *has already begun to eat*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "....mmmm...so you broguht Ren's meal. What about the rest of us?"
<Seraphna> **Si starts piling meat high and eating a terrifying amount of it... which is more terrifying, again, because she's a RABBIT.**
<Alicia> * Victoire is already eating too
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> They're in the second servings coming up.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ren seems to have competition.
<DeathStar> *she motions at the long line of servers*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We have a few big eaters here, yes."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My dear you have gained so many servants~
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans back in the pillow seats*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do believe we are not going anywhere for a bit
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's the winky face I taught you, isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I believe it is the showing just enough to get them to give you free stuff...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Good girl.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes a seat to have dinner*
<XanTop> 6* Xan rubs his chin, thinking to himself.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> *After dinner, the group's HP is restored, but their mobility has decreased*
<DeathStar> *Ren has become a large fox on Charlotte's shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is everyone done?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Kaori?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren is now incapable of self-locomotion."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmhmm. Shall we babygirl?
<Seraphna> **Jaime stretches a bit** I'd say I feel sad I didn't bring any of the kiddos along but Saga is sitting in the wings as a song mage.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comms> I going to check with Line on the Ymir thing and will see if it pans out on these biotects. I'll check in afterwards. Megumi will take over for me.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Alright, here is where we need to go
<DeathStar> *She brings out a map of Tareh*
<Sara> * Kaori looks at it
<DeathStar> *She points out the Coalition of Amatsune and certain rock up north* We'll want to go there
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... cna we safely move there wihtou the Other Jaime exploiting our lead?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting. We can only hope
<Seraphna> Jaime> You know, there's one power I'm pretty sure I discarded that she's kept, come to think of it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noire's.
<DeathStar> *Shizuki prepares a foxhole*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why did you discard it?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh, needed to room for Spirit Form.
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a fox noise*
<Seraphna> *the room
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> It seems to be growing in how much I can take as I use it, but right now I can only hold so many powers at once.
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> So you think this Jaime seems to be able to do more forms or something?
<DeathStar> *Shizuki sneaks through the hole*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Right now it's four people. I've felt like I'm cresting five lately and try to copy Momma Meg when I can.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan and Si hop through, Jaime going as she talks**
<DeathStar> *Megumi seems to eye her through the datapad*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What? Momma has the best Manifestation.
<XanTop> 6* Xan tils his head and watches Shizuki go through then everyone else starts to go through so he follows.
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances around as they arrive at a rock area over a cliff*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves through*
<DeathStar> *the grass indicating teleport burns*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mm, either these are from her, or from the Illium beaming down.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, where is this?"
<XanTop> 6* Xan scans about for enemies.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I've been here before haven't I?
<Alicia> * VIctoire looks for landmarks
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> So .. um this is where we get in touch with the Angel. *peers at the sky* Somehow
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Maybe you sacrifice virgins on the rock? *she eyes the smoothish rock*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...also never copy my powers ever again without permission. They are mine, and part of my identity."
<DeathStar> *Ren flops off the shoulder and poofs into her human form*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright Kaori, onto the rock. Kidding
<Seraphna> Jaime> We went over that like... 2 decades ago when I did it Noire. I just figured she'd keep yours because you're the strongest Dark One.
<Sara> * Kaori stares
<Sara> <Kaori> What an assumption to make!
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh, I know you and Hess are snogging all the time at your place.
<Seraphna> **Truth muses and goes to the rock**
<Seraphna> Truth> Perhaps there's a Mark or something?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Can one mark a rock?
<Seraphna> Si> We could try using our marks and see if she senses it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...well...I suppose I should be flattered, Jaime."
<XanTop> 6* Xan starts to move around the area looking for anything out of the ordinary.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** I didn't even know that at the time. I just thought you were pretty cool.
<Seraphna> **Truth tries feeling in her Mark**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Hey, no flirting."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Just kiss already
<Seraphna> Jaime> Huh? Not flirting.
<DeathStar> *She eyes Jaime and Noire*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jeez can't compliment a friend. **she pouts**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...I'm not interested in romance."
<DeathStar> *Truth would find what looks to be a button in the rock with her mark to send a signal*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We know
<Seraphna> Truth> I found it. A... Mark button.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Try pushing it
<Seraphna> **Truth presses it**
<DeathStar> *a beam shoots up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wow, we got flashy.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I guess it'd be hard to find someone to match you?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... perhaps so."
<Seraphna> Jaime> She'll find someone eventually. One day she'll see someone amazing like Adeline and it'll just click. **she nods**
<DeathStar> *after a bit, the Angel appears, then an older looking Erevis, and Ama; Erevis eyes the two quietly, arms crossed* <Ama> Are you all here seeking passenge to Illium?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wondering if you've seen a more confident looking me around.
<DeathStar> <Angel> Another you?
<DeathStar> *At that moment, there's a noise from below*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** She'd look just like... me. Oh boy.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That's a nice way of saying socipoath with out of control narcisstic tendencies."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around**
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns and like something out of Pirates, a massive biotect army comes, flooding over where Xanatos was at*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Holy jeeze
<DeathStar> <Tareh Erevis> It is a trap
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls at Xan with tendrils**
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should have figured.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Time to leave."
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds out both hands, glows green, then shifts earth under the oncoming Swarm and busts it**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Permission to come with you ladies?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Get us out of here!" *raises both hands and lobs singularities at the army*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan scoops up Shizuki**
<DeathStar> *Shizuki blinks*
<DeathStar> <Ama> *taps something and the beam engulfs the group*
<DeathStar> *The team arriving at a high tech world made of tech from the PAX, all over the place*
<Seraphna> Jaime> My guess is she used us to find your hidden teleporter.
<Seraphna> Jaime> You'll want to shut down that route for now by the way.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is a change of scenery... and yes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where is Xanatos? *She moves to see if he is okay*
<Seraphna> **kaealn holds him up in tendrils**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Grabbed him pretty early but he was already stomped.
<DeathStar> *Kaelan holds...*
<DeathStar> *Xanatos*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ah good, I DID hang on to him!
<DeathStar> *but he looks to have a few things sticking out of him*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is that a bone?
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> Spears
<XanTop> 6* Xan grunts in pain.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Umm.. medical?
<Seraphna> **Truth sighs and starts pulling out spears and healing the wounds as she does**
<DeathStar> <Tareh Erevis> This way. *She leads Xanatos gently toward a facility when suddenly their teleporter activates on it's own*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I told you!
<DeathStar> <Tareh Erevis> ... I will handle him. *She leads Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Ama> IT should only activate to one of us
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm one of you.
<XanTop> <Xan> ...be fine. 6* He starts to pull the spears out, letting his nanite healing kick in
<DeathStar> *Ama eyes Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Angel> What should we do now?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Emergemcy lockdown on the teleporter and blow the one you have in that rock for now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... now we need to consider a way to defeat the other Jaime without her getting what she wants."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, now she's got an entire PAX Planet
<DeathStar> *Ama floats off complying while the Angel remains behind. The two Erevis watch as the army begins to flood in and among them is a certain Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wow, she just showed herself pretty early
<Seraphna> Jaime> I have to admit, I look good even evil.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably thinks she's already won."
<Seraphna> **Kalean readies her shadow blade with Truth coming to her hand**
<DeathStar> *The other Jaime seems to have recovered from the damage she took last time, wearing what looks to be an armored suit*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and forms the Spirit Blade from where she keeps it**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge*
<DeathStar> *the teleporter shuts down before all her forces arrive on the planet*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Really wishing I'd copied Justice already.
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Well. I don't suppose you want to ... step aside. And let me by? *She asks Xanatos and Erevis, with a quirky little smile*
<DeathStar> *motioning at Kaori and Angel behind them*
<Alicia> * CHarlotte readies a beam saber
<XanTop> 6* Xan pushes himself to his feet.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Really? You really did just come for them? Ick.
<Sara> * Kaori narrows her eyes
<XanTop> <Xan> Copy my powers instead.
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Oh no. They're just a bonus being here at the right time.
<DeathStar> *Jaime eyes Xanatos* I'm sorry dad, but you're no longer the in thing anymore. No offense.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Kaori, remember that Queens thing? She's not a Queen yet.
<DeathStar> <Angel> Can someone explain what is going on here?
<Sara> <Kaori> "The in thing"?
<XanTop> <Xan> Is this what it's like to have a rebelious teen?
<Seraphna> Jaime> She's a power hungry version of me that works for the force that invaded you all a while back and Tsukiko had to cleanse.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably."
<Seraphna> Jaime> She can copy powers by touch too, so Angel and Kaori should avoid that.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then we form a wall."
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Well, you know what I want their powers. OR would you rather I just take your precious family. we already discussed that path when we traded blows
<DeathStar> *Why
<XanTop> <Xan> Let's settle this peacefully, Jaime. Or do you have some directive from that eldritch being?
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Oh that thing. *she plays with dark energy between her hands* No, not really. A suggestion really which I couldn't care less about
<XanTop> <Xan> Before we do this then, what was the suggestion?
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Well, two of them, which I admit the first I'm sticking to. "Be yourself" and the second "cause as much chaos as you like". I suppose I'm following both to a T, but all I want is what I lost back. I was going to take little Miss Prissy's perfect family for my own, but she beat me back. So I'll find other ways. That's the family motto, isn't it Jaime?
<DeathStar> *Jaime eyes the other Jaime, craziness appearing as her fist glows with Dias' power*
<DeathStar> <Jaime> So. Are you going to move?
<DeathStar> *Shizuki peers over them* What now?
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs** Man if I ever needed reassurance that I'm the healthy one. Yeah sorry, we're not letting you take them.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...get her targets as far form here as you cna be while we hold her and her army back."
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Oh, Dad. By the way.
<DeathStar> <Jaime> I got one more bit of information for you
<XanTop> <Xan> ...alright
<DeathStar> *as she charges her arm up like Dias does*
<DeathStar> <Jaime> She gave us one thing else
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Or it, hard to tell
<Seraphna> **Truth frowns, gathering energy seeing the growing darkness of the arm**
<DeathStar> *Tareh's Erevis grabs the Angel and vanishes*
<DeathStar> *Ren takes Kaori and begins to move away toward the city proper*
<XanTop> <Xan> That one more thing is...?
<Alicia> * Victoire runs with Ren
<DeathStar> <Jaime> Well, she gave us the power, each of us sins, to manifest one deep in our heart to help us achieve our desires. A trump card. Suppose to use it at the last minute when we felt we're going to lose. But you know what.
<DeathStar> <Jaime> I'm the type that likes to bring it out right from the beginning
<Seraphna> **Jaime pushes her blade into the ground and sends shockwaves into the ground around her evil twin's army, busting up the ground**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Me too.
<DeathStar> *Jaime shoves her other hand right into her chest as the attacks hits her army and pulls out some sort of black eldrich energy and crushes it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *waits to see what happens as the army goes flying. Suddenly the ground begins to shake8
<Seraphna> **Truth summons a pillar of holy down on the evil Jaime**
<DeathStar> *Jaime lifts her Dias' arm to block it when massive arms from under the ground grab Truth and pull her under*
<DeathStar> *Crunching sounds under the ground can be heard*
<Seraphna> **Truth naturally tries to fight back, glowing with Holy and blasting outward**
<DeathStar> *forcing Wyrd to manifest and attempt to pull Truth to her*
<XanTop> 6* Xan starts back pedaling and shoots the laser out of his eye towards Jaime 2.
<Seraphna> **Jaime punches the ground herself and tries to counter earth contrl there to help**
<Alicia> * Charlotte observes the situation, trying to find an opening
<Seraphna> **Truth tosses a blade out to Wyrd to catch an channels hrself to that one**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *Raises a hand and then tosses a Dark Matter sphere at other Jaime and the army*
<DeathStar> *Jaime II is hit as Truth isfreed; at that moment, a massive monster leaps out of the ground behind the group, aiming to crush Charlotte. It is Legion, full of Eldrich energy*
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns her head, freezing*
<Seraphna> **Si cries out and hurls a ball of rolling fire at ther emains of the army, well mostly Jaime II**
<DeathStar> *even as the army ebgins to rush and try to avoid the attacks*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And who might you be...?"
<XanTop> <Xan> ...shit
<Seraphna> **Jaime concentrates to form a large chasm between them and the army to slow them**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Aha... she gave her an Eigth Sin it seems.
<DeathStar> *Jaime II uses the chaos of Legion to warp with progenitor teleportation into the city*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slashes her hand down and her Dakr Matter spehere then breaks apart, bombarding with multiple Dark Matter mini-shots*
<XanTop> 6* Xan slides the crossbow off his back and charges it up, firing at Legion.
<Seraphna> **Jaime finishes her chasm, then warps after her**
<DeathStar> *as the army is beaten apart by Noire, Legion grabs some of them to hurl at Charlotte and Noire*
<DeathStar> *eyeing Xanatos as it's shot*
<Seraphna> **Si grabs onto Jaime to go with the warp, Kaelan remaining to help here, tossing Foxfire at Legion**
<DeathStar> *Erevis charges and fires a hyperspace beam into it's face*
<Alicia> * Charlotte runs between the thrown soldiers
<XanTop> 6* Xan activates the beam saber and runs in to leap and stab for Legion's side.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves her arm, trying to guide her Dakr Matter attack to finish chewing up the army while the others take on the level boss*
<DeathStar> *Legion lets forth a roar of pain then grabs Xanatos, as it bleeds, the eldrich energy slowly healing it as he lifts him up to try to do the bane back breaker* <Erevis> Charlotte. We have to stop him
<DeathStar> *she warps over and grabs at his arms, straining*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms tendrils out of Legion's shadow to contrict him**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Which sin is this supposed to be?" *launches tendrils, before moving in to strike with her saber*
<DeathStar> *Legion howls and drops him*
<DeathStar> *bleeding again*
<XanTop> 6* Xan lands and shifts to look at Legion and shoots his eye laser up for him.
<DeathStar> *The monster cries out as Erevis gathers a hyperspace ball in her hands. When Legion jumps, pulling Kaelan with him up into the air on top of a building*
<DeathStar> *Legion beginning to gather some sort of energy with it's body, then sets fire to the ground below*
<Seraphna> **Si blinks and looks at the fire** What, was that supposed to be scary?
<Seraphna> Si> Try this. **She uses her power to take control of firte and starts sending it back to him in a stream of molten fury**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan flips to her feet and reforms her blades**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I think I have the army taken care of!"
<DeathStar> *Si sets fire to the roof of the building. Legion seems to vanish*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Was that enough to overpower it's regen?
<Seraphna> **Si then puts it out while Kaelan leaps out of a foxhole and pats her tail down**
<DeathStar> *suddenly the entire building seems to come down at the group below*
<XanTop> <Xan> I don't think so. Let's go find either the Jaime's, or Kaori and the an-
<DeathStar> *Erevis throws up psionic shields*
<Seraphna> **Truth forms a Holy Barrier to reinforce it**
<DeathStar> *Wyrd just hangs as it comes down*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shrugs and sends tendrils out to smack parts away**
<XanTop> 6* Xan tenses as he waits to see if they get fucked up
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns and launches a singularity into the air to slow down the falling debris*
<Alicia> * CHarlotte prepares to shadowjump through the shadows of the debris
<DeathStar> *the group is completely buried, but for the most part they seem to come out of it with mild injuries*
<DeathStar> *outside the ones the group manged to knock abck*
<Seraphna> Si> Ooof... so did he run or something?
<DeathStar> *A massive hand grabs Si*
<DeathStar> *And yanks her out*
<DeathStar> *Legion attempting to eat the rabbit*
<Seraphna> Si> That answers that! **she bursts into white hot flames**
<Alicia> * Charlotte steps out of the shadows to stab at Legion from behind
<Seraphna> Si> Careful, I'm SPICY!
<XanTop> 6* Xan checks on Erevis
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Charlotte, Kaelan, I have an idea."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm up for anything right now."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Fire away.
<DeathStar> *Erevis rises, looking tired, and throws her hyperspace at the mouth*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> eat this
<Seraphna> **Si tries to squirm and spin kick free**
<DeathStar> *Si does so, with a hurt foot*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "WE cna weaponize our dark portal. Split it into three parts, dispersing them away from here and each other."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do it. This eldrich version of him is making his already regen higher
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Sure. Sounds a bit like my Foxhole Field.
<DeathStar> *Legion howls in pain, holding his stomach*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Even if it doesn't finish him off, it'll buy enough time to deal with Evil Jaime first."
<XanTop> 6* Xan fires another laser blast, aiming for Legion's head.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "LEt's begin." *prepares a Dark Portal to split a third of Legion away*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Agreed, I don't like how long we've had those Jaimes running around on their own.
<Alicia> * Charlotte does similar
<Seraphna> **Kaelan joins her, portals being her thing**
<DeathStar> *Legion seems to refocus and leaps when Noire does that - suddenly, Erevis focuses and does a fourth with her hyperspace*
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comms> Well
<DeathStar> *She speaks up after a moment* <Megumi on comm> Interesting tactic
<XanTop> 6* Xan slides over to grab that crossbow and begins to charg it up, firing another shot for Legion
<Seraphna> **Si sends magma at him so he burns while he's getting split to** Trolls lose their regen when you cast Fire!
<DeathStar> *Erevis joins Xanatos as he attacks the piece of Legion* <Erevis> How long do you think this will last?
<DeathStar> *she eyes them trying to rejoin, the pieces taking damage more easily from Si and Xan*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Until he can drag all the pieces back together."
<Seraphna> **Truth muses and ndos** If one of you or more could beam parts to space it would greatly slow him.
<DeathStar> *Legion suddenly tries to rejoin through the open portals, stretching out while they're open*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *snaps her portal closed*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan foxholes off what's coming through then shuts hers**
<DeathStar> *his body reaching out with eldrich energies when Noire snaps one part close*
<XanTop> <Xan> ...Legion.
<DeathStar> *The Legion pieces eye Xan in agony*
<XanTop> <Xan> Anyone got a pit of hyperspace to drop this fucking thing into?
<Alicia> * Charlotte likewise closes her portal. "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis forms what hyperspace energy she has left and hands it over like a spirit bomb*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Here
<XanTop> 6* Xan blinks and then moves to use it on the remaining piece unless they've all be closed off
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns distractedly** We should hurry, I won't have that woman getting near Shizuki.
<DeathStar> *Erevis is still open*
<XanTop> 6* Xan moves to do it carefully making sure every bit of Legion is burnt up
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace ball lands on Legion melting away taht portion of it, as it thrashes and makes noises. Erevis leans there, watching before closing her portal* <Erevis> Well, even if it does try to reform it's going to have trouble after a good fourth of it is missing.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Right, next stop, wherever Jaime is at.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We must use this respite to catch up."
<DeathStar> *Shizuki peeks out*
<XanTop> <Xan> I hope Jaime is alright.
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I think they went into the city
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably wherever Kaori ran to."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They did.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So every one of these sins have some trump card. Megumi, be sure to warn the others
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think taking us to Kaori directly would be the wisest with how much time this took.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan feels for Kaori's foxy shadow**
<DeathStar> <Megumi on comm> Will do. Taiga has informed me she has reached Line and is learning more about the biotects
<Seraphna> Si> Probably an arcade.
<DeathStar> *meanwhile*
<DeathStar> *Ren has taken Kaori to hide in a fancy movie type place where you feel like you're in the movie with the PAX tech*
<DeathStar> *Ren has picked a gamer type movie and they're in a video game movie set*
<DeathStar> <Ren> She'll never find us here
<DeathStar> *hands Victoire a power up*
<DeathStar> *granted it's a movie prop*
<Sara> <Kaori> I mean... it's a little on the nose but...
<Alicia> <Victoire> "As long as it works, it's fine."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *suddenly, Jaime busts through where the evil bad guy is suppose to fly in, having the Angel's power*
<DeathStar> <Jaime II> Found you
<DeathStar> *Ren tosses a power up at her and it bounces off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Alright you two, stay behind me
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Okay."
<DeathStar> *Ren holds her fists up as Jaime II lands* <Jaime> All I have to do is touch you; this won't be much of a fight at all. And the rest of your friends are busy being delayed right now. This won't take long at all.
<DeathStar> -TBC-
