The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 75

<DeathStar> 10.19.5990
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> 6* The guard looks shifty as he holds off the group outside the Quad 5 Psyco Pass HQ
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus sparks a little
<kalonZombie> 6*Max just looks pissy in general
<DeathStar> 6* Barry cleans his glasses
<DeathStar> <Guard> *speaks into his data-reader, then turns* We have checked our files. Those two people are dead, I'm afraid.
<Seraphna> * The sword remains swordlike.
<DeathStar> <Guard> One of them was deemed a danger to society due to their psyco scan and attacked our people, and the other suffered complications
<Stretch> 6Kaylin stands back with Max and Jelly in the alleyway.
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> What sort of Complications officer?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Dead?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Why would they be dead? Is that common practice here?
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus' voice remains cheery, being stuck like that
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse rubs her face like she has a headache
<DeathStar> <Guard> An autopsy would have to be conducted on the one girl. As for the other, if their psycho scan reads super dangerous, as well as attacking our people, then yes.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Either way, I guess it doesn't matter, I'm going to need access to the logs and to see the bodies.
<DeathStar> <Guard> It is within our purview
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> My task was to retrieve, if I can't do that, I need to prove I can't.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin scans over the building, looking for any sign of people watching them from within or from atop the building. Jelly meanwhile heads over to stand by one of likely many fire-barrels used by the locals.
<DeathStar> <Guard> *Transfers the logs to Sao* I will see if you are allowed access. If not we will send the bodies to your people.
<DeathStar> 6* The logs shows images of Ylva and Chief dead on tables
<DeathStar> 6* If people are watching, there are no open signs
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus sparks again and watches for Sao to lead
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> ..." She twitches a bit
<DeathStar> <Guard> ... you are granted access if you turn over your weapons *He notes, peering up*
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> If I turn over my weapons?
<DeathStar> <Guard> You will get them when you leave
<Mukurokuma> * She eyes him incredulously. "An agent turn over weapons?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> I'm afraid so, ma'am
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Corsec agents are allowed weapons in secure facilities in the law.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max looks at Kaylin "Is she always like this?"
<Seraphna> * The Sword does not like this.
<DeathStar> <Guard> We're suppose to cooperate. Nothing says we have to allow Agents weapons in our facilities
<DeathStar> <Guard> That's what my superiors just told me
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> You know what, fine
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse annoyedly opens her coat-- to no weapons
<DeathStar> 6* The guard looks nervous, likely devoloping stomach ulcers
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> you have my weapons!
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Happy?
<Stretch> 6Kaylin glances to Max, 14"she's being cordial..." 6She looks back to observe the interactions between the guard and Sao.
<DeathStar> <Guard> U-Um, that's good. You may enter ma'am. Any of your friends have to dump their goods in the basket before they enter. *He opens the door*
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus heads inside with the sword
<DeathStar> 6* The guard stops Prometheus
<DeathStar> <Guard> T-The sword sir. In the basket
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> It is not a sword officer
<DeathStar> <Guard> The readings are saying differently
<kalonZombie> 6*Max walks up, putting in his sword, maul, reaches into his boot and pulls out a knife, reaches in his pocket and drops some brass knuckles...
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> She told me otherwise *Prometheus smiles and sparks
<Seraphna> * The sword changes into a woman in her early twenties with long dark hair, icey eyes and a frown on her face. "Your readings are clearly incompetent."
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Don't play games with them
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> This is annoying enough.
<Seraphna> * She is also naked.
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> See.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, while that might have been cool for Max, he only has what is listed in his items
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> People are already tense, people are already being a pain in my ass. Just be up front and let's get this over with.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus hands her his coat
<kalonZombie> 6*They're more for show. C'moooooooooon.
<DeathStar> 6* No
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to Sao, to see if she expects Kaylin to follow.
<kalonZombie> 6*:(
<Seraphna> * The sword woman drapes it over herself, looking annoyed at having had to bare herself.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> If there's a problem here or they start acting like rogues from CoreSec, we're going to turnt his place upside-down. Until then, stop with the theatrics an' pissing about semantics and let's go.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus moves inside
<Seraphna> * The sword woman follows as if nothing unusual has happened. Save to give the men a scathing look.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves inside as well, more than able to fight with his hands
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse clicks her tongue and pets the guard on the head, then moves inside after glancing toward the alleys
<DeathStar> 6* The man secrures the weapons, jerking at the woman's looks
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will reach over and grab ahold of Jelly, pulling him along as he blathers about with a roasting stick and marshmallows in his hand. Jelly will settle his backpack in the bin, while Kaylin simply waits for clearance to proceed.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, the Psycho offices are clean and secure, freshly designed. Officers move about in freshly designed clothing. One strong man has a man's armed pinned behind his back, leading a crazed man who is foaming down the hallway
<DeathStar> <Man> I will kill you all! I will eat your liver! <Officer> Yeah yeah, come on and be processed
<DeathStar> 6* The guard opens the basket for Kaylin since she finally decided to come along
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Hello all!
<DeathStar> 6* An officer meets them and leads them down the hallway
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus follows along
<Stretch> 6Kaylin looks at the basket curiously standing there in her tactical gear but no weapons apparently on her. Jelly will proceed inside while thinking about bubblegum.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard eyes Kaylin oddly but then closes the basket and motions her in
<Stretch> 6And munching on a roasted marshmallow.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max's eyes occasionally dart over to the sword woman
<Seraphna> * Sword Woman walks along in just the coat, looking steely. (Bazinga!)
<DeathStar> <Officer> This way, Agent. *He leads them down the prestine hallway, passing various officers booking people - some look rather nasty customers, others seem zonked out*
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will proceed, taking rear guard position and ushering Jelly towards the others in order to catch up.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus waves to people
<kalonZombie> 6*Max walks along, eyes staying forward, not looking at people.
<DeathStar> 6* They are led to the morgue area, where Chief is laying, a blast wound in her chest area, laying naked. Unnervingly like Asarar. And the other body is a naked Ylva.
<DeathStar> 6* There are no visible wounds on Ylva. Barry has come along, adjusting his glasses, peers at the body silently, cleans them, having a strange look. Ylva looks pale, as paler than normal.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Well, this isn't looking good for them.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus eyes magnify, inspecting the blast wound
<DeathStar> <Officer> As you can see, the fauna died of unknown reasons. The other one went crazy and we had to put her down
<DeathStar> <Officer> If you want us to sign over the bodies to you, we will
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse moves over and leans in, glancing and listening to Ylva-- being a Gladius and knowing of dragoons, it isn't always the sign of life.
<DeathStar> 6* It's your typical blast wound
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus then starts to take skin samples from both
<Stretch> 6Kaylin will look to the bodies once she arrives, also stepping forward to look at the blast wound and trying to match it to a type of weapon. Would she note the presence or lack of Biotect technology?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Yes, we'll be taking them.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Are you even aware of who this is?" She gestures at Ylva.
<Stretch> 6Burning 1 perception.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to match the weapons used by the officers here. And on first glance, it looks like a human body like Chief was
<kalonZombie> 6*Max is just here to hit things inbetween his bouts of vigilatism, which he stopped doing when the bar was closed down since he had no way to hide his tracks.
<DeathStar> <Officer> Just a pick up from the club by Captain Posco.
<DeathStar> 6* Barry looks over his data-reader, going through pictures
<Seraphna> * The woman watches the officer carefully, looking for signs of deception.
<Stretch> 6Jelly's lip twitches slightly but he keeps thinking about butterfly's and so forth...whatever those are.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Yeah, this pick-up from the club is Ymir Macross, genius.
<DeathStar> <Officer> ... *He jerks* I think you are mistaken. What would she be doing in the slums?
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse brings up a picture, deadpanned.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> So... assuming everything we've been told pans out, I guess this is it.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin looks to Sao, then back to the body in front of her before reaching over to roll the body onto its side, looking at the spinal cord for what should be there if somewhat hard to detect...a biotect I/O port.
<DeathStar> <Officer> I will look into this. *He turns and walks out*
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> But if there's anything being held back from us, hidden, or covered by your bosses, I can only imagine the hell about to be raised here.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> By the way, I wouldn't just go willy-nilly asking your 'bosses' about it either. If it's something they didn't want us to know, think it'll end well if you just go asking about it? Heh.
<DeathStar> (Which body?)
<Stretch> 6Chief's
<Mukurokuma> * She chuckles, shutting her datapad and moves to get a table to take Ylva and Chief's body.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> If there is anything, I'd bring it to me. I can get more leniency, for sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaylin sees nothing back there, not that she necessarily would. Biotects don't always obviously have such
<DeathStar> <Barry> I am doubting this is Ylva's body *he says after the Officer is gone*
<DeathStar> 6* He walks with Sao as she pushes the bodies out
<DeathStar> <Barry> I am assuming you have a picture of her?
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus is quiet, following
<Stretch> 6Kaylin follows after them, again ushering Jelly to walk in front of her so that she's the last one out.
<Seraphna> Sword Lady> "You suggest a doppleganger of some sort?"
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> She's identical to that of the Maxwell child, but what are you suggesting, Barry?
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Are you saying this isn't Ylva but /is/ Ymir, or yet another substitute?
<DeathStar> 6* Barry brings out a picture of Ylva and holds it up, the data-reader showing it off his hand. Ylva looks older by a few years. The Ylva on the table is younger, not as developed, though it's hard to tell.
<DeathStar> <Barry> Likely a third.
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Shame. I bet she'd have been happy to have another sister.
<DeathStar> <Barry> To dump a body and take Ylva so we would stop looking.
<DeathStar> <Barry> I don't know if this one was ever alive
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse nods to Barry, likely having figured something of the like after being filled in on Ylva's known background.
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Most likely a clone.
<Mukurokuma> <Saorise> How about 'Chief' over there?
<Stretch> 6Jelly will quietly follow them, grumbling still but there is a certain satisfied look in his eyes too.
<Seraphna> Woman> "If that is true the the guard is lying about what happened."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max eyes towards the guard suspiciously
<DeathStar> 6* Barry reaches into the stomach, feeling along the blood and guts, yanking out robotic parts. "likely getting rid of evidence."
<DeathStar> <Barry> Chief was a loose end
<DeathStar> 6* As they exit, the guard looks up and hands them the basket with their goods
<kalonZombie> 6*Max takes his weapons and puts them back
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Or he doesn't know, but I gave them a chance. If they know something's fishy here, then they had an out through me.
<Seraphna> * The woman glares again, adjusting the coat.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin continues to walk, a slight shiver running through her at Barry's response. Jelly however smiles 3"flunky frumpy venetian doggy-style..."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Upper Level
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar lands the shuttle at the coordinates Kira indicated
<Seraphna> * LUci cracks her knuckles.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Everyone put on your game faces."
<SuperKoala> *Otto picks up his suitcass and rises
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks her sword. She orders Wolfe to take Riki back home and make sure that the club is protected as she clubs out. Bonnie decides to follow and help out
<Sara> <Chelsea> Please be careful, BonBon.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, so the three corporations are going to try to use the ship as proof that the CoreSector cannot protect Kumen and push for a coup. We're going to try to stop that and put an end to this nonsense for them.
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie smiles, as if saying trust me, and hops off
<Seraphna> * Luci nods. "Okay, so how do we stop them?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That's a good question. They claim Biotects stole their ship, so the evidence we have from that is useless.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar glances at Kira. "Any ideas?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Really? They're pretty obviously not Biotect parts, I'd think. Oh, well...
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns. "Could we prove that the bots were made by them? I took parts."
<Sara> * She glances at Kira too, though
<DeathStar> 6* R5 flails. "I am alive."
<SuperKoala> *Otto fixes his tie "The other corporation aren't powerful enough to stop people from stealing a ship."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Plus we have crazy there/
<SuperKoala> Otto> And out little friend as well.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Tap the local networks and get us the lay of the land."
<SuperKoala> *Otto pulls it up
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You think we can get it to tell the truth about the ship and that would be enough?
<Sara> <Chelsea> So much for independence, too, I suppose. Since we seem to be outright working for CoreSector now.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Not at all, but we can try havking their internal cameras.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks out across the landscape, the evening sky beginning to fall toward darkness
<Seraphna> Luci> "It's a start. We could give this all to the media and let them have a field day."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Or we can just kill them.
<DeathStar> 6* The buildings here tower high into the sky, real rain beginning to fall a bit.
<Seraphna> Luci> "I'm a fan of killing them, but we might be outgunned."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Ever try pushing a boulder up a hill? Next step is info warfare. We leak the evidence and let the net echo chamber spin it for us."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Any media not in the pocket of the Corporations though?
<DeathStar> 6* She sticks her hands in her pockets, musing
<Sara> * Chelsea peers at Kira slowly.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Whatever circles the various techrunners and netrunner groups are using."
<Sara> * Chelsea seems to ignore the rain even though she likes rain
<SuperKoala> *Otto prepares a message to send to all media, we message boards, as well as people in positions of power
<SuperKoala> Web-we*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Hell, if we somehow got them involved we could probably jack the other networks."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Also, remember not all the corporates are in the current alliance. Hurting them could be profitable to other interests."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Those are underground groups. I am talking about the big news media, that goes to the Top Side, the one that controls the power.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Nue Age. Everyone trusts them since they stay out of things
<Seraphna> Luci> "Nue isn't involved with them."
<Seraphna> * Luci nods.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They have to have a media group
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar motions them to drag R5
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, if we're gonna do it, let's move before our shuttle starts rusting.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go straight for their building. I'll grab a hover car.
<SuperKoala> *Otto also adds any Corporate Nue Age adresses
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Bring our new friend along."
<SuperKoala> Otto> I have a dead drop ready in case something goes wrong.
<Sara> * Chelsea moves with Asarar to help her hotwire if need be
<Seraphna> * LUci nods and hands Otto her stuff showing pictures of the inside of the ship, the bots at work, etc.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks along the shuttle port they landed in, at Quad 4, moving to grab a hover car.
<DeathStar> 6* She rents one at the space port, large enough for everyone and climbs into the driver seat.
<Sara> * Chelsea gets in with her
<SuperKoala> *Otto leads R5 and climbs in, adding it to the message
<Jackieness> <Kira> *slips into the vehicle*
<Seraphna> * Luci gets in.
<DeathStar> 6* R5 flails all the way into it.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Did Gor come along, or did he stay on the ship?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pokes her head out into the rain, her purple hair clinging to her face
<Sara> <Chelsea> Someone had to take care of the ship, right? *she gives a shrug*
<Sara> <Chelsea> He doesn't really have any horses in this race.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright. *she sticks her head back in*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar zooms off at high speeds, making everyone stick back in their chairs*
<DeathStar> 6* R5 flails against Kira, groping at her
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor hopped in at the last second and clings for dear life
<SuperKoala> *Otto sets the message to upload with him only having to press one button
<SuperKoala> *Otto holds off on it for now though
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar grins a bit as she flies, and they pass the barrier between 4 and 3. Their data-readers blink once as they enter http://thealienwars.com/TAW6/Info/Quadrant3.php
<Seraphna> Luci> "Looks like Gor is here."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hey, I'm not an easy fell."
<kalonZombie> <Gor> ;A;
<Sara> * Chelsea peers at her reader
<SuperKoala> *Otto eyes his
<DeathStar> 6* The readers all blink twice then stop
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Huh..."
<SuperKoala> *Otto narrows his eyes and tries to make a call, to anyone
<kalonZombie> 6*Once Gor gets his bearings he looks at his and blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies through the picture above, not having to dodge a lot of tall buildings close together. Otto can do so
<DeathStar> 6* Gor would still have a Data-pad, not having a data-reader installed in his hand yet
<DeathStar> 6* Unless he did it while bored
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Keep your eyes open... we're in enemy territory."
<SuperKoala> *Otto hangs up
<kalonZombie> 6*Nope, but he probably jury rigged the reader to run on the same network
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps an eye out, wary being in Cloud's territory.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The Star Corps is one of the three. And being a rare Biotect, they would love to get their hands on me.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Enemy territory, huh? I suppose. *she glances in Kira's direction but nods*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll try to get to Quad 2 as fast as I can. But unfortunately, any space port I landed, I would have had to cross an enemy quad
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Quad division of Kumen was a mistake. Makes it too easy to build a power base that cna threaten the central authority."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies through a building unleashing fire into the sky, when suddenly a giant space shuttle flies up beside them and the side door lowers. Asarar turns her head to stare at a giant mech suit, that looks super high tech is in it, aiming an arm cannon, and inside the suit is Posco. The suit's name, painted in red paint, tackily, reads the Posconator.
<DeathStar> <Posco> WOLFE!!!!!
<DeathStar> 6* He fires, blasting the hovercar
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar holds onto the controls as alarms go off and they begin to go down
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor gets to work, trying to hack the mech
<Sara> * Chelsea peers slowly at Kira, her statement seeming to stand out
<Seraphna> * Luci holds out her hands and summons a Dragoon Aegis around them.
<DeathStar> 6* Popping up on Gor's datapad is the fat Posco, shaking his finger and going "Nuh uh uh uh! Nuh uhu h uh! ala Jurassic Park"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar tries to steady them out as they crash downward
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor spends several action points, let's say 3, to get past it
<DeathStar> 6* At this point, Gor is out of range, as they are crashing downward and the shuttle is up higher
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Everyone hold on
<Seraphna> Luci> "Someone get the car running again!"
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead is a building
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We're going to hit
<Seraphna> * Luci grabs onto something, maintaining the aegis to soften their blow.
<DeathStar> 6* They slam into the building
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 10.20.5990 CE
<DeathStar> Location: Amazon Territory
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen sits, midnight, before a fire, musing
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki yawns, sleepy, the fight going to start soon between Qui and Gweneve
<SuperKoala> Commodus> If you want to warm up a little Gwen I'm happy to offer
<Seraphna> * Alita stretches, petting Talia.
<Sara> * Erica pets Yuki, looking more tired than you'd expect herself
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia pets Talia as well
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No, I'm good. I'm just wondering about my mother. All this time Qui is forcing herself to battle and struggle to change our people, and I haven'ty had the guts to even face her. Not that she would acknowledge me. She never did when I was born.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki massages Erica
<Sara> <Erica> Parents can be a difficult topic for some. But I think the love is secretly there even when they don't want it to be. *she lets out a peaceful relaxed sigh as Yuki massages her*
<SuperKoala> Commodus> Prehaps you should attempt to make peace. You may not have much longer regardless of how the fight goes.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> She could have fooled me
<Sara> <Erica> ...She did say it would be a fight to the death. It's your last chance if that's true, one way or the other.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, uh, I'd think, anyway-- no idea how this, um... thing you've got... works...
<DeathStar> 6* Gweneve emerges from the tent and walks forward, peering around. "Where is Qui? Has she run away?"
<Sara> * Erica motions her over
<Seraphna> Alita> "Not at all."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks into the circle of light cast by the fire* "I have returned from my data gathering, captain."
<Sara> <Erica> Welcome back.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No, mother. She is here. I just wanted control of the body for a time to think. 6* Gweneve peers at Gwen, as if seeing through him. Gwen rises and faces her. <Gwen> Not that you have ever acknowledged my existence outside working the fields.
<Sara> * Erica watches them
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia suddenly becomes interested in combing her hair, trying not to listen
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> I let you live, when you were a male. Most queens in the past would have killed you, child. I let you play with Qui in "secret" when you two thought no one knew.
<Sara> * Erica gives a knowing smirk and goes back to petting her little fox
<SuperKoala> *Commodus watches, ready to support Gwen if he needs it
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> *She peers at Gwen* But I have my limits. After my wife died due to the Legion, I could not look at you. I could not hold you anymore. Be glad I let you leave this place and find your own life. <Gwen> .. *he nods, turning to go, transforming back into Qui*
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> Are you ready, my daughter? I will not hold back against you if you want the throne. You must prove willing to sacrifice and kill to lead your people. You must prove that you can do what it takes to protect our people
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the side*
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... *she nods quietly, depressed, moving into the arena with her mother, the queen with the spear, Qui with her gun*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm glad my momma wasn't this ruthless
<SuperKoala> *Commodus moves for Qui's corner
<Sara> <Erica> It's their ritual, Airym... did you find out anything interesting? *she asks softly, concerned for Qui but trying to handle things professionally, moving over with Commodus*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki moves to support her with Commodus. The Matrons, that aren't hanging still, move to watch the battle and pay witness; many Amazons also come to watch
<DeathStar> 6* Torches burning
<DeathStar> 6* Undine herself comes to bare witness, silent, with Celsius beside her
<Seraphna> * Alita joins them.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I believe any data that I have to share should wait until the current ritual has ended."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Fields
<DeathStar> 6* Shion's group appears near where the battle took place in the Hapian Kingdom
<DeathStar> 6* Shion lets her eyes adjust in the Kumen light, the planet above providing what would be moonlight essentially
<SuperKoala> *Little has her rocket launcher at the ready, looking around jumpily
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers around carefully.
<Sara> <Liana> Do you usually carry around something that.. volatile? *she asks Little*
<SuperKoala> Little> Always
<DeathStar> 6* Kito peers at her cake she has been carrying around - it's rather smooshed now and pathetic after all the battles. She kneels and says a prayer, offering the cake out and sets it down
<DeathStar> 6* Down below, a large Hapian army seems to be glowing with holy light. Those with good morale would feel stronger being near this crusade of goodness
<Stretch> 6Mykel steps to the side after they appear, looking out at the grounds nearby for signs of movement.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Oh, Kito.. you packed a cake."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve is in front, leading it, with a glowing spirit. Those who are bad or daemon would feel weaker, and have been since Shade left. Like Vyvy, etc.
<DeathStar> <Kito> Since. Today is my birthday. And Neekito's..
<DeathStar> *Yes
<DeathStar> (not Since)
<Seraphna> Cookie> "This feels good... but... we should still stop this."
<Sara> * Liana looks a bit sad
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I see... happy birthday, Kito."
<Sara> <Liana> Happy birthday...
<SuperKoala> *Little blinks at the strength
<DeathStar> <Shion> Something unnerves me about below
<Sara> <Liana> Is that Aska?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *then snaps her attention to the Hapian army and moves to a better vantage point* "...Eve. She was never that strong..."
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the almost feverant moral goodness about the group below. The feeling of righteousness
<SuperKoala> Little> It's a holy army.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Maybe it's another spirit?"
<Stretch> 6Mykel looks to Kito, a small sad look for her and the remembrance of her lost sister...he'll move with them though, considering the Hapian's below. 12"Things change Sasha, sometimes for the better or the worse..."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Something unnatural has happened."
<DeathStar> 6* Kito rises
<DeathStar> <Shion> I would say Shade's death has tipped things into Aska's favor
<DeathStar> <Shion> No darkness makes the light brighter
<DeathStar> <Shion> Lets go down and let them know the Naturalists are defeated
<DeathStar> 6* She slides down the hill
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows.
<Sara> * Liana frowns but follows
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods and slides down the hill*
<DeathStar> <Kito> So those who would fall into Shade's domain are growing weaker?
<SuperKoala> *Little moves to follow, then stumbles and rolls down
<DeathStar> 6* Kito follows, gracefully leaping
<Stretch> 6Mykel will follow as well, sliding carefully.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "More than likely, Kito!"
<DeathStar> 6* Eve halts the armor as they get in front
<DeathStar> 6* Aska is a being of pure light, she is completely nude when summoned onto the plane of existence, the light bathing her body so that it is hard to make out her nudity so that one would go blind trying to make out her female parts such as her nipples or lower parts. Her long blindingly white hair goes down to her mid-back and she has completely white eyes, typically forming with wings of light, up to six.
<DeathStar> (army)
<SuperKoala> *Little brushes herself off and rises
<DeathStar> 6* Kito peers away from Aska in reverence. Eve nods to Sasha, her red eyes prominent now
<DeathStar> <Eve> Cousin Sasha
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Cousin Eve."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Have you come to join us in our holy war against the darkness?
<Sara> * Liana adjusts her dress, with the others
<DeathStar> <Shion> Holy war?
<DeathStar> <Eve> A great evil has been unleashed upon Geyze.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "You mean... Death?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Do you refer to Death?"
<Stretch> 6Mykel will move over to stand behind Sasha, pondering her wording.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve smiles kindly. "The warriors of light could use all those who favor the spirits."
<Sara> * Liana looks a bit surprised
<DeathStar> <Eve> I suppose that name would fit.
<SuperKoala> *Little raises her hand "So you're goinf
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We did coem to tell you that the Naturalist threat has been dealt with by the Academy as well."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It's a Death Spirit... it... possesses the dead and takes power from death."
<SuperKoala> Going to fight it with an army
<DeathStar> <Eve> They have been? To be expected of my cousin and her Academy.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "An army might just make it stronger since it feeds off people and spirits if they get too close."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Do not worry. It cannot feed off an army of light.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve marches forward, heading for the academy.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Why are you marching on the Academy?"
<Sara> * Liana tilts her head at the direction they're headed. "Wait, that way's..."
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It umm... might not care about the element it's feeding."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion takes note of her direction, and jerks, following. Sylph peers and jerks
<Sara> <Liana> Oh, no...
<Sara> * Liana jerks
<DeathStar> <Eve> That is where the darkness is forming.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...Oh no..."
<SuperKoala> *Little hurries after
<DeathStar> <Eve> It wishes to feed on as many lives as possible from as many walks of life. It is decay.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"I fear you're mistaken princess, death can fead off of anything living..."6 He will walk along beside shion for now.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances back at the others* "We need to return to the Academy immediately."
<Sara> <Liana> Agreed.
<DeathStar> <Eve> You underestimate Aska
<DeathStar> 6* Eve peers at the Light Spirit, then ahead, moving along.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If you cna truly deal with this creature, we will draw it into the open for you cousin... but be wary."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Sylph, a ride?
<Sara> <Liana> Regardless of underestimating or overestimating anything, we have nothing to achieve by bickering and everything to achieve by working together.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Actually we're estimating her, if Aska is powerful it'll just be more desireable."
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph lands, her speed much slower than it was before, running low on power since she has not returned to her forest
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Grab on
<Sara> * Liana does so
<DeathStar> 6* Shion touches
<Seraphna> * Cookie does so.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"I fear that you're also underestimating it..."6 he reaches out to Sylph.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *touches Sylph*
<SuperKoala> *Little grabs on
<DeathStar> <Aska> We shall see. *she speaks, her voice angelic*
* Chain has joined #Duality
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "When we arrive there, dismiss Sylph to her realm. I cna hear the weariness in her voice."
<DeathStar> 6* One could almost feel their morality changing hearing her. Liana definitely feels confidence, as does Sasha, since their bloodline pushes them toward good*
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph warps them to the academy
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen, Floor 47 of Industrial Robotics
<DeathStar> 6* The hover car sparks, the front end crushed, Asarar pinned but otherwise unharmed.
<DeathStar> 6* The machines they smashed into are sparking, threatening to explode any second
<SuperKoala> *Otto grits his teeth, checking the others
<DeathStar> <R5> R5 ... still... alive...
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor shakes his head, then blinks, moving to help unpin Asarar
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Little help here?
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle craft flies up beside the building and Posconator leaps in, his mech so heavy that he crashes through the floor and down to 45
<SuperKoala> *Otto shifts to his normal skin, playes forming all over it as he starts to climb out
<Sara> * Chelsea looks to see if it's possible to prevent an explosion
<DeathStar> 6* But it makes the area more unstable for the rest of them
<Jackieness> <Kira> *coughs, face blooded from smashing into the seat in front of her*
<DeathStar> 6* Gor slowly frees Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea would see that too many machines were damaged to stop it
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor looks at the mech, makes a face, and once Asarar is freed he pulls his datapad out
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Alright, round two...
<Sara> <Chelsea> We have to hurry...
<SuperKoala> (Defensive: When in his natural form, Bismark is able to harden his outer carapace into a full body shield to weaken blows against him (Must not be transformed in any other way.) [+3 Durability, 10 Turns+])
<Sara> <Chelsea> There is a VERY good chance this place is about to blow.
<SuperKoala> Otto> I. WILL. SKULLFUCK. YOU. HUMAN.
<Seraphna> * LUci grunts. "We could use the car against him then."
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor tries to hack into the Poscomech, burning 3 action points to get past his defenses
<SuperKoala> *Otto racks a round and fires at a knee joint on the mech
<Seraphna> Luci> "The machines, whatever, get him to charge them and we run."
<DeathStar> 6* Posconaitor moves, being two floors down, out of range, letting Otto blow out another section of the floor.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *pulls herself out of the hovercar* "Seriously... I'm going to order a hit on that crooked son-of-a-bitch."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Clear out everyone. I WANT THIS ONE.
<DeathStar> 6* Gor would find the defenses super high on the hacking, and that at most he can only get into parts of it at a time. Right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, head area
<DeathStar> <Posconaitor> WOLFE!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves out of the hovercar
<Sara> * Chelsea peers at Kira
<kalonZombie> 6*He hacks the head area to blind him
<Seraphna> * Luci gets out of the hovercar.
<DeathStar> <Posconaitor> ... ARGH
<DeathStar> 6* He unleashes a missile barrage blindly into the floros above, blowing up floor 46 and 47
<DeathStar> 6* Which does 2 things - one moment
<DeathStar> 6 1) It unleashes the robotic materials and the hovercar to go off, blowing them up with the group nearby and 2) Buries Posco under 2 floors worth of heavy material and makes his own explosive material hit him
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar is hit with 4 HP worht of damage and sent flying out the hole they made
<DeathStar> 6* 45 floors up now, since 2 floors just collapsed instantly
<Sara> * Chelsea rushes to check on Asarar... if she can
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor leaps to catch Asarar in mid-air and foxhole back to safety
<Seraphna> * Luci burns a speed and an action point to try and yoink Asarar before she can fall.
<DeathStar> (Thge rest of you would be hit by explosions too)
<kalonZombie> 6*Then Gor would simply try to catch Asarar as he falls and foxfires back to safety.
<SuperKoala> *Otto attempts to brace himself, rolling himself into a ball
<Seraphna> * LUci uses Chains Linked to take the damage, quickly shelling up to avoid the pain and lands with a skid, then.
<Seraphna> ((Negates 5 damage)
<Jackieness> <Kira> *pulls herself along the remaining floor, holding her bloodied side*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pants, armor destroyed and coat burnt off, but no sign of Posco remains after all that.
<Sara> * Chelsea coughs, hurt rather nastily with no armor left either
<Seraphna> Luci> "On the plus side, they've got to think we're dead now. We should make tracks."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...d...damn... we just got chewed up by that crazy bastard."
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor pants, then falls down in agony
<DeathStar> <Asarar> At least he's dead....give me am oment..
<Seraphna> Luci> "I wouldn't bet on it, he's too stupid to know he's supposed to die."
<SuperKoala> *Otto grits his teeth, rising up slowing
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar uses Mage Cure Lv. 1 on everyone, curing 2 HP
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Don't say he's dead... you know the movies... he's not dead.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe tries comming Gor
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Yeah Bigby?
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves for where the rubble pile with Posco would be
<DeathStar> 6* She uses it on the most hurt person, her kitty Chelsea
<Chain> <Wolfe> I got Riki and Bonne back here, whats happening over there
<Seraphna> Luci> "So we need another car or to get moving."
<DeathStar> 6* There's two floors on Posco, so he's right under them
<Sara> * Gor might be the most hurt, but after all he's not Cypher
<Seraphna> Luci> "I'd fly us but I doubt I could fit more than 2 or 3 people."
<Sara> * Chelsea tries to smile at Asarar, holding her stomach
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Your boyfriend tried to kill us in a giant robot suit.
<DeathStar> 6* She hands Gor tainted medical item
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Here. It's for biotects
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But if you can stand it, 4 HP
<kalonZombie> <Gor> He might be dead now. No body so I'm not going to say yes. 6*He takes it and tries it
<SuperKoala> *Otto grumbles and attempts to call for a car via his connections
<DeathStar> 6* It takes awful
<Chain> <Wolfe> he's not my boyfriend, thats Otoot
<Chain> Otto^
<Jackieness> <Kira> "There's got to a be a parking deck around here. Get out of sight and get a ride, so bonus. Leave the network connections turned off until we escape into non-hostile territory."
<Chain> <Wolfe> how bad are you guys
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Look he had some sort of mancrush on you and that's all that matters.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Heh... People like that never die until they're done being trouble... *she coughs a couple of times after talking, trying to feel better after the healing*
<kalonZombie> <Gor> We got exploded... so you know... not great...
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finds the stairs, still in one piece and stumbles down
<Sara> * Chelsea follows after Asarar
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comm> Hone in on my comm signal
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor follows
<Seraphna> * Luci follows close.
<Chain> <Wolfe> the girls and I can get to you all with medical supplies but youre all gonna need to hunker down while we get there
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows as well, looking relatively okay
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves slowly down the stairs*
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Alright Bigby. Bring medicine. Something that doesn't reek of lemongrass.
<Chain> <Wolfe> let me comm to Asarar and let her know
<Chain> 6*Wolfe swaps to Asarar
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Alright
<Chain> <Wolfe> So Posco gave you all trouble?
<DeathStar> 6* As they pass the spot where Posco was buried, a mech arm busts through, grabbing Asarar's head
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comm> ARGHHRFG FOLLOW MY SIGNAL
<DeathStar> 6* Her comm crushes
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Shoot it! Soemthing!"
<DeathStar> 6* The arm begins to crush Asarar's head, 1 HP crushed
<Chain> 6*Wolfe reels as he disconnects, moving to get the others and head out
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor hacks into it and makes it let go
<SuperKoala> Otto> I KNEW IT YOU FUCK *otto fires at the arm where it wouldn't hit Asa
<DeathStar> 6* The arm lets go
<Sara> <Chelsea> A-Asarar...
<Seraphna> * Luci forms her sword and slices down at the arm with Retribution Strike. (7 Damage)
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stumbles back, purple stained with red
<DeathStar> 6* The arm retreats back into the rubble
<DeathStar> <Asarar> R-Run
<DeathStar> 6* She runs down the stairs
<Sara> * Chelsea looks teary-eyed, peering around uneasily
<Sara> * Chelsea runs after Asarar
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Get us out of range!" *starts down the stairs faster*
<DeathStar> 6* Her balance looks off, likely having a concussion or something else messed up
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor uses Hacking on the mech [Outside Corporate Computers, like MAC, can cause 4 HP Damage to computers, or slow their attacks]
<kalonZombie> 6*Then runs
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* As Wolfe prepares to exit, Sao and company arrive with the bodies
<DeathStar> <Barry> Good day, sir. *He enters the club*
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Hello Sherrif!
<Chain> 6*The phigglets have nurse caps on
<Seraphna> * Sword Girl peers around in only the coat.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Where the hell have you been? 6*He asks Wolfe
<Chain> <Wolfe>never mind that, Asarar and the others got fucked up by Posc-O-bot
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Oh dear!
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a limo drives up, heavily armored, and beefy guards step out, then followed by Maxwell Terran. He doesn't seem to realize what the club is yet, thankfully. He walks over to Sao, not noticing Wolfe
<DeathStar> <Maxwell Terran> You! The Agent girl! Move aside!
<kalonZombie> 6*Max blinks, looking at Maxwell
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Hello Mister Terran!
<DeathStar> 6* He walks up to Ylva's body, staring in disbelief. "It's ... true. She's dead."
<Stretch> 6Kaylin looks between them, then to the supplies Wolfe is carrying. She turns to look at Terran, her hands slipping behind her to the small of her back.
<Seraphna> * Sword girl raises a brow.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe side steps, moving to get him and the reds, and phigglets to the others, unless Max comes or anyone else
<kalonZombie> 6*Max follows Wolfe
<DeathStar> 6* Riki stares, then gasps at Ylva being dead, tearing up
<Chain> <Wolfe> Riki, we need to help the others
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> Have no fear, that is a clone!
<Seraphna> Sword Girl> "Who is this man?"
<DeathStar> <Terran> B-But without her DNA and energy--- *He lifts his head*
<DeathStar> <Terran> What did you say?
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> That is not the real one, And this is Maxwell Terran!
<DeathStar> <Barry> Ignore this Biotect. He tells lies.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus sparks and blinks, having not been told it was a secret
<DeathStar> 6* Barry pulls Prometheus away. But Terran stares at them
<DeathStar> <Maxwell Terran> Not the real one...
<Stretch> 6Kaylin thinks to herself that the silly Mark3 needs to be uploaded with an inner-monologue subroutine...
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Ex-CUSE me.
<Chain> <Wolfe> Prometheus, come
<Seraphna> Sword Girl> "You are aware then that it was your Psycho Guards who killed her?"
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> What the fuck is going on?
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> I seem to be malfunctioning!
<DeathStar> <Maxwell Terran> So the real Ylva is out there.
<Chain> <Wolfe> get you ass over here!
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus sparks and hurries to Wolfe
<DeathStar> 6* Riki cheers up at Ylva being alive and joins Wolfe. Bonnie looks confused
<Seraphna> Sword Girl> "Beg parndon but if this is not your Ylva, who you recognized at one glance... then who is it?"
<Chain> 6*Wolfe books it with the Florance Nightingale crew
<DeathStar> 6* Maxwell Terran studies the body more, then turns to go back to his car
<kalonZombie> 6*Max books it with Wolfe
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse steps into his path
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Alright, so you're the one with answers.
<Chain> 6*The phigglets give them each a nurse cap
<Seraphna> * Sword Girl shrugs and follows the others. Curious now.
<Stretch> 6Jelly will actually follow after Max and Wolfe whom he knows...still sunshine and daisies for thoughts.
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus puts his on
<DeathStar> <Terran> I advise you to move, Agent. I am busy.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin waits next to the bodies and Sao's directions...
<DeathStar> 6* Riki is wearing her sexy nurse outfit, cleavage shown
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> I was in the slammer!
<DeathStar> <Terran> I have no answers for you that my Corporation seceratary cannot give you
<Chain> <Wolfe> how did you end up there?
<DeathStar> 6* He uses his body guards to get into his limo, putting on his sunglasses.
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> The scowly lady broke us out!
<Chain> <Wolfe> scowly lady?
<SuperKoala> Prometheus> The one who seemed very angry
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Well thank you, Mr. Terran, for nothing.
<DeathStar> Location: Amazons
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> At least we know she's alive
<DeathStar> 6* Qui stands over her mother, holding her weapon at her throat
<SuperKoala> *Commodus is sighing in relief
<DeathStar> <Qui> You are beaten...surrender...
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> No. You must end this...Qui... *The Amazons cheer Qui for winning*
<DeathStar> <Qui> I do not want the blood of my mother on my hands. *She steps back* You are beaten. It is over. *She turns her back and begins to walk away as Gweneve rises, picking up her spear*
<Sara> <Erica> <If only she had a convincing way to make it LOOK like she killed her without doing it... that's how it works in the holovids...> *she frowns*
<Sara> <Erica> Qui!
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> You cannot turn your back on an enemy, my child. Or you will die... *She begins to drive the spear at her and Qui jerks, turning and aiming her gun, firing at her, shooting Gweneve in the chest, dropping her*
<SuperKoala> *Commodus runs, trying to get between the two
<SuperKoala> *Commodus stops
<Seraphna> * Alita puts a hand to her mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Qui shakily lowers her hand
<Sara> * Erica's expression wilts
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the other side* "Her mother's life functions have ceased."
<Chain> <Miyuki> that woman made her choice
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia puts her head in Alita's shoulder
<Chain> <Miyuki> and pushed her child's hand
<Seraphna> * Alita moves over to Qui. Since the battle is clearly over.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves for Qui
<Sara> <Erica> Gweneve Yi... quite a woman. *she says shaking her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Qui walks over and kneels by her mother, brushing her hair back.
<DeathStar> <Gweneve> You will...do well...child...stand strong...and h old your head high..and do not look back...
<DeathStar> 6* She takes her hand, and gives Qui a nod, before closing her eyes
<SuperKoala> *Commodus keeps a hand on his sword, in case she turns
<DeathStar> <Qui> I will mother... *she stands up and turns to face the Amazons* If any of you deny my leadership, challenge me now, or hold your tongues forever. *no one stepos forward, so she kneels and takes the crown and puts it on her head*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the other side* "Correction: her mother's life functions have now ceased." *leans forward*
<Seraphna> * Alita watches the body, ready to incinerate it should what could happen, happen.
<DeathStar> 6* Qui takes a torch
<DeathStar> 6* And moves to her mother, setting it on fire
<Chain> 6*Miyuki places a gentle hand on Qui's shoulder
<Sara> * Erica's eyes widen but she keeps herself silent
<DeathStar> <Qui> I am afraid I have to leave the school if I am going to lead, Headmistress... *She sounds sad*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It is over.
<Chain> <Miyuki> I know Qui
<DeathStar> 6* The amazons begin to prepare a feast in Qui's honor
<DeathStar> <Qui> I wish I could separate Gwen to give him a proper life.
<DeathStar> <Qui> But I have no idea where the dagger is that bound us
<Seraphna> Alita> "Unfortunate nature of our team, it will break as most of the group is forced to take responsibility."
<Chain> <Miyuki> perhaps in time you might be able to, but for now, its one step at a time your grace
<Seraphna> Alita> "After this is over, Qui, we can make that our mission."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki then pulls Qui into a tender embrace, lightly stroking her hair
<DeathStar> 6* Qui hugs her back, eyes closed
<DeathStar> 6* She steps forward and accepts a large cup, filled with liquid, holding it up, a symbol of the blood of the Amazons. She leans forward to sip it. A few of the matrons look overly eager
<Sara> <Erica> ...Qui...
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns and puts a and up to Qui.
<Sara> <Erica> Don't let your guard down.
<Chain> <Miyuki> do not worry for her
<Jackieness> <Airym> *uses her sensors to scan the cup*
<Seraphna> Alita> "One moment."
<DeathStar> 6* The sensors indicate high levels of poison
<Seraphna> Alita> "You're about to be the shortest living Queen ever, my dear."
<DeathStar> 6* Qui puts it to her lips
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The contents of that vessel are highly toxic."
<SuperKoala> *Commodus knocks the cup away and eyes the Matrons
<Seraphna> * Alita pulls it away fro, her.
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen quickly takes over as Airym says this, since she had begin to swallow. The cup goes flying and Gwen is pulled to Alita
<DeathStar> 6* The two Matrons who did it sneer
<SuperKoala> Commodus> You would poison your own queen!
<Seraphna> * Alita casts Cure Poison on Gwen.
<Sara> * Erica goes over to punch one of them clean in the jaw.
<Seraphna> Alita> "Seize them!" *she points tehm out*
<DeathStar> 6* The other remaining 8 Matrons grab them, glaring, and the younger Amazons aim spears
<SuperKoala> Commodus> What sort of cowards are you Matrons, you're ancestors are spinning in their graves!
<DeathStar> 6* Surprisingly, the remaining 8 matrons are a mix of older and younger, and seem disgusted
<DeathStar> <Matron Mary> You would poison the challice of our blood? WE should kill you if not for the Death Spirit
<Seraphna> * Alita makes sure the spell heals Gwen.
<SuperKoala> *Commodus is speaking directly to the poisoners, not all the matrons
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander appears with Vyvy, looking uneasy as hell
<Seraphna> (Stat Ailment 1))
<DeathStar> <Salamander> don'twannabehere
<DeathStar> 6* Undine walks forward and touches the two Matrons, stripping them of abilities, and the two hanging
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy wraps her arms around Salamander's, nuzzling her arm
<DeathStar> <Undine> I banish you forever
<DeathStar> 6* She warps them away
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia casts Exceptional Might on Qui [+3 Health for +10 Turns]
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Thank you all.
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> That should help... a little...
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen turns back to Qui
<DeathStar> <Qui> *she walks to them* Thank you for those who supported me
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander msiles softly
<DeathStar> 6* Then jerks as Undine turns to face her and nods to her
<SuperKoala> *Commodus kneels
<DeathStar> <Undine> Thank you for coming to our Queen's corornation
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki muses, then kneels too, shrugging
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining Matrons kneel, as do all the Amazons
<Seraphna> Alita> "Perhaps now we can end the war."
<DeathStar> 6* Qui flusters
<Sara> * Erica kneels by Yuki
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods
<DeathStar> 6* Qui turns to look at Vyvy and waves at her happily
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Qui... congratulations.
<DeathStar> <Qui> Thank you. I'm glad you could make it
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy glances toward the burning, wincing. "... And sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Qui gives Vyvy a hug
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> I should have been here all along.
<DeathStar> <Qui> I'm glad you're here now. <Amazon Girl> *A six year old girl waddles up* Will there be a feast? <Qui> Soon, my child. *She smiles at saying that*
<DeathStar> <Qui> Your queen haso ne last battle to fight.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki cant help but smile a little at Qui
<DeathStar> <Qui> Salamander, can you tell your people that I'm corornated and would like to commence peace talks? And now that all the wars are done, that means Death has no more energy to feast off of, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph pops in
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *weakly plops on her butt* H-Hi...I'm on my way back home but Shion wanted me to come here
<DeathStar> <Sylph> You all need to get back to the Academy now
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Death is headed there
<Seraphna> <Alita> "...That's bad."
<Sara> <Erica> Bloody hell.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Aska is leading a holy army to the Academy too
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pales slightly and nods
<SuperKoala> *Commodus frowns and nods to Sylph
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius moves over to join them. Undine frowns, and unlocks water magic, then steps up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Unfortunately, I lack sufficient data to project a possible outcome."
<Chain> <Miyuki> how dare they bring an army to my children
<DeathStar> <Undine> I suppose I will come too
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Aska claims only she can beat Death
<Sara> <Erica> I guess we should go... not that I want to die. *she frowns*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves to Sylph
<Chain> <Miyuki> take me home then Sylph
<Sara> * Erica moves over with Miyuki, likely with Yuki
<Seraphna> Alita> "Sounds like she's gotten too full of herself and eschewed wisdom."
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander touches Vyvy to take her back. Sylph blinks, then nods, touching Miyuki. Celsius touches Erica and Yuki
<DeathStar> 6* Qui touches Vyvy
<Seraphna> * Alita moves over to join the others and touches.
<DeathStar> 6* The spirits warp out with everyone
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Quad 3
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and company escape the Industrial Robotics building and she looks around for a vehicle to escape in when Wolfe drives up
<DeathStar> 6* She leaps into the car, pushing Wolfe aside
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Heal us on the go. We need to reach Nue Age.
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks but gets in with Asarar
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus holds up various medicnal items
<SuperKoala> *Otto slithers in
<DeathStar> 6* Riki is in a sexy nurse outfit, letting people touch her. Bonnie waves
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus starts to heal people
<Jackieness> <Kira> *climbs into the car*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hits the gas, driving the van fast, right as Posconator leaps out of the building, smashing into the cement next to them, leaving a hole
<Stretch> Jelly> 3"Bubble Butt!"6 And he tries to hug her, 3"Ticky-Tock einstein! Crud pasty quill."
<Sara> * Chelsea gives Bonnie a soft smile, trying to hide the fact she got injured though her lack of armor would give it away
<Mukurokuma> * Saorise rubs her face after calling in her next moves and reporting to Sen, she blinks at Posco
<Seraphna> * Luci sits back in the car, Sword girl looking at them all.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Not again. D-Drive!
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> What the fuck..
<SuperKoala> *Otto twitches and kocks the rear door open, searching for a weakspot and firing at Posbot
<DeathStar> 6* Kira's comm beeps, and a distorted voice speaks. "The forces of the Corporations are beginning to move against CoreSector. You are running out of time."
<Sara> * Chelsea peers
<Seraphna> * LUci lifts her current Blade and hurls it out at Posco's leg joint.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Damn it... we need to move faster. The coup is about to start."
<Chain> 6*the phigglets help out as Wolfe bandages Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Poscoanitor climbs out of the hole. It seems to have no weak spots in the front, though it does have a glass plating in the helmet
<SuperKoala> *Otto aims for the glass
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar speeds along, leaving the mech in the background, it moving slow
<Chain> <Wolfe> how the hell is it sill working
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Hey Sen, if I don't report in again soon, I've set something up. If you lose the other corporations there's one important thing to remember. You haven't lost the people." She recites an IP address for her to make a call if she needs to. "Call her cupcake and Saoirse said to get all their asses moving."
<DeathStar> 6* But then it activates rocks in the back and zooms
<DeathStar> <Poscoanitor> WOLFEEEEE!
<Seraphna> * LUci grumbles. "Alright, Asa, call out if you need the car shielded." *she forms her Lv. 2 sword, shifting it for another throw*
<DeathStar> <Distorted Voice to Sao> I understand
<Mukurokuma> <Saorise> I'd say it's running on hate. What'd you do, big guy, piss in his wheaties?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sighs and looks at Riki and Bonnie
<SuperKoala> *Otto racks another roumd and fires at the glass again
<Chain> <Wolfe> I want you two girls to be good ok
<DeathStar> <Riki> A-Alright> <Bonnie> Don't you dare
<SuperKoala> Otto> DON'T BE AN IDIOT WOLFE, I WILL HUNT YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE IT YOU TRY
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar passes into Quad 2, going through the shielding. Posconaitor hits the shield and is repelled
<Sara> <Chelsea> Wolfe, what're you...?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe smiles gently and kisses their foreheads before opens the car door and leaps out
<DeathStar> 6* Poscoanitor pauses and hits the shield between quads, his data-reader not being accepted
<Seraphna> Luci> "We;re clear. Wolfe!"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "He's locked out. Drive."
<DeathStar> 6* Psocoanitor works on hacking to get into Quad 2
<SuperKoala> *Otto deadpans and drops down with Wolfe
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar drives, passing all the signs and ads, driving down a crowded street
<DeathStar> 6* Heading for the news building
<DeathStar> 6* People shopping scream and dive out of the way
<DeathStar> 6* Posco points at the two on the other side of the shield
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Yeah, good idea, get the fuck out of the street!
<DeathStar> <Poscoanitor> COME OVER HJERE WOLFE
<SuperKoala> *Otto flips off Posco
<DeathStar> 6* He beckons them, taunting them to cross the barrier
<Chain> 6*Wolfe smirks and holds up his arms
<Stretch> 6In any case, Kaylin is sitting quietly in the middle of the back seat.
<DeathStar> <Poscoanitor> I WILL STOMP YOUR ASS!
<Chain> <Wolfe> ok ok Posco, but if I come over you gotta arrest me with youre own hands
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Can you get your data readers online again? We need to stage the grassroots campaign as plan B."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Shows his filed teeth
<DeathStar> 6* Poscoanitor points at Otto. "I will beat your lover!"
<DeathStar> 6* He flexes in the mech
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> ... woah there.
<SuperKoala> Otto> I am going to eat your liver
<Chain> <Wolfe> ehhh? what are you talking about
<Chain> <Wolfe> Otto isnt even into me
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar arrives at the news building meanwhile
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay, here we are. Bring R5
<Sara> <Chelsea> You mean even our local neighborhood CoreSec Agents can't fix the readers?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe takes a few tentative steps forward
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hops out
<Sara> * Chelsea hops out with Asarar
<Chain> <Wolfe> so you gonna come out?
<Sara> * Chelsea seems slightly moody
<DeathStar> 6* Poscoanitor tries to grab at Wolfe, but hits the barrier, zapping it
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves with Wolfe
<Jackieness> <Kira> *slips out of the car* "Tick tock, people."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe clicks his teeth
<DeathStar> <Poscoanitor> *finally a ding is heard, and Poscoanitor walks through onto Quad 2's side*
<Seraphna> * Luci hops out and moves with, her shield forming.
<DeathStar> <Poscoanitor> Little Red Posco is here!
<SuperKoala> *Otto rushes, attempting to slither between his legs
<Sara> <Chelsea> I feel like I just heard something ominous...
<SuperKoala> (Burn 2 speed)
<Stretch> 6Jelly will follow immediately after Asarar, Kaylin stepping out and looking back the way they came towards the gate area.
<Seraphna> Luci> "JUst keep moving, he's a distraction."
<Chain> <Wolfe> And I'm staying right here for you to apprehend
<DeathStar> <Posconaitor Mech> Warning, battery power has run out. Have a good day using Star Corps Products
<DeathStar> 6* The posconaitor shuts off
<SuperKoala> Otto> HAHAHAHAHAHA
<DeathStar> 6* Posco jerks, trapped inside
<SuperKoala> *Otto starts to climb up the mech to wrench Posco out anyway he can
<Chain> 6*Wolfe blinks and moves in
<Chain> <Wolfe> wow, lost all your stamina
<Jackieness> <Kira> *heads into the news building*
<DeathStar> 6* Posco flails as he is ripped out, a fat butter ball
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Hey, you." She notes to Asarar. "You look scrawny like my other half. How do you fight?"
<Chain> <Wolfe> gee and after all that build up too
<Sara> * Chelsea moves after Kira, resisting the urge to pull a knife on Saoirse
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks inside, a secretary peering up at them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hand to hand mostly, with a saber
<SuperKoala> *Otto throws him down and kneecaps him with his rifle
<DeathStar> <Lobby Secretary> How may I help you people? <R5> I am alive!
<Seraphna> * Sword Girl peers at Sao and Asa, moving along too. She points at Sao. "This is an Agent. We have things to do here."
<DeathStar> 6* Posco howls, flailing on the ground, crying. "Damn you! Damn you both! I will get your asses for this!"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We have a hot story. Scandal. The works."
<Seraphna> Luci> "We could use your news director."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe crouches over Posco
<Chain> <Wolfe> oh youre wrong Posco
<Stretch> 6Jelly finally realizes that 'sword girl' is naked beneath her coat and his thoughts stray away from sunshine and such to very bad things...
<Chain> <Wolfe> you see, you scared my girls
<DeathStar> <Secretary> Oh, and what is that, your sources, and who are you? *She grabs a pad*
<Chain> <Wolfe> and I cant abide by that anymore
<DeathStar> 6* Posco peers up at Wolfe, crawling on his back away from Wolfe, trying to grab a gun*
<DeathStar> <Posco> I am the good guy! The good guy! The law! You are the bad guy!!
<SuperKoala> *Otto stomps on his hand
<DeathStar> 6* Posco howls
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse grins at Asarar. "Oh man I'm glad to hear that. I'm guessing you're not high on that Terran guy's list either, eh?"
<SuperKoala> Otto> No, I'm the bad guy.
<Chain> <Wolfe> its been a long time coming but today is your lucky day Posco, we'll finally become one
<Seraphna> Luci> "We're the group that stopped the ship that attacked the Aquarius. Our source is first hand."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh he wants to dissect me
<Chain> 6*Wolfe grins a wolfish smile
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Oh, we'll get along great.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hey, focus on the news story."
<Mukurokuma> <Saoirse> Here." She holds up her credentials to the secretary
<DeathStar> 6* The secretary nods, leading them upstairs. "I think we're just about to go on air with our newest segment." 6* Asarar glances at Kira
<Seraphna> Luci> "And we've got a plot to throw a coupe on CorSec as a story."
<DeathStar> <Posco> O-One?
<Seraphna> Luci> "It wasn't rogue Biotects, it was Terran's own bots. We've got one with us." *she motions to R5*
<DeathStar> <Posco> K-Keep your sexual urges away from me!
<Chain> 6*Wolfe grins and drags Posco off to the side
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Chain> <Wolfe> oh no, its a different urge, more like...a hunger
<DeathStar> Location: The School Tunnels
<DeathStar> 6* Shion's group, there before the other team, has spread out, trying to find Death
<Seraphna> * Cookie feels out for the dreadful presence.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Where were the injured and dying taken?"
<SuperKoala> *Little searches, looking much more hardened about it than before
<DeathStar> <Isis> This way
<DeathStar> 6* ISis walks along, having the Temmies hide elsewhere
<Chain> 6*Kitty moves with Isis, the temmies Vibrate in prayer
<DeathStar> 6* Lu is elsewhere, workingt on the Tamaes.
<Sara> <Liana> Is Celes okay?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves after Isis*
<Stretch> 6Mykel checks the side tunnels before following after Isis.
<DeathStar> 6* Celes is groaning in pain elsewhere, sweating. As they reach the injured area, they see spirits everywhere, in death mode
<DeathStar> 6* The miasma in the injured/dying ward is thick, too thick to enter
<SuperKoala> *Little narrows her eyes
<DeathStar> <Isis> Oh my...
<Sara> <Liana> I... don't like that.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Is it just me or have we tried to keep people away from Death only to find we need to now keep Death away from something else...? Oh no..."
<DeathStar> 6* The miasma reaches and grabs Isis, yanking her into the thickness.
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks and uses and Action point to try and grab her first, pulling back.
<Chain> 6*Kitty grabs Isis and starts hauling
<DeathStar> <Shion> Sylph, go get mother - now.
<DeathStar> *Sylph nods, vanishing*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Isis!"
<Stretch> 6Mykel tries to pull Isis back using Telekinesis Lv.2
<DeathStar> 6* Isis is pulled back slowly, merowling and swearing like a sailor
<DeathStar> 6* Before popping out. Sasha's sword spot is glowing like mad
<Seraphna> Cookie> "H=How do we stop a Miasma like this?"
<SuperKoala> *Little fires a rocket into the miasma
<Chain> 6*Kitty tries throwing salt at it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...I know that this is not an appropriate moment... but did you see anything in there?"
<Sara> <Liana> B-Be careful! You don't want to collapse the tunnels!
<SuperKoala> Little> Fire and flame.
<DeathStar> 6* The miasma bends a bit
<Chain> 6*Kitty throws more salt
<DeathStar> <Isis> N-no but I felt like I was being drained
<Seraphna> Cookie> "You might hit people in there tht haven't died yet."
<DeathStar> 6* Spira mumbles, rocking in her corner, still a bit crazy, especially with Vyvy's recent trouble
<SuperKoala> Little> If they are in there they are dead.
<SuperKoala> *Little loads another rocket
<Seraphna> * Cookie holds out a hand and sends a Scramble Slam out at the Miasma. [Stun Effect]
<DeathStar> <Isis> We need to seal this area off and get people back upstairs
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *eyes her sword* "...that thing is definitely in there. Evacuate the tunnels, now!"
<Chain> <Kitty> I'll seal it
<Stretch> 6Mykel breathe's heavily with saving Isis like that...12" We could try venting it outside if there's another exit that way, but we'd need some pretty powerful wind.
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnel shakes from the rocket, but as the miasma spreads, they see Death standing there, holding her scythe
<SuperKoala> Little> I'll collapse the tunnel
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, the rest appear. Yuki rushes forward as Isis hurries to evacuate, sending the Temmies to lead people out
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Fall back and bring it down! We need to buy time!"
<Sara> * Erica is not far behind Yuki, of course
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves forward and starts filling the tunnel with ice
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki blasts foxfire into the miasma, exposing Death more. It swings, attacking Little's rockets
<Stretch> 6Mykel checks to make sure everybody outside of the Miasma is moving away and not caught by the ice.
<Seraphna> * Cookie backs up
<SuperKoala> *Commodus reels and breathes fire at the miasma ( Commodus is able to harness the fire inside, breathing a massive gout of fire [4 HP Damage, Fire Damage])
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *pulls away*
<DeathStar> 6* Lu works on getting people out.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Captain, we should assist in the evacuations."
<DeathStar> 6* The ice slows Death a bit. Celsius adds her ice
<SuperKoala> *Little shuffles back as she fires another at it
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander withholds her power since fire is counter active
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy moves to pick up Spira herself into her arms, making a face at the miasma and spirit being there now
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph uses wind to scatter the miasama, for better or worse as people are led out. OVer the next 5 minutes, everyone slowly makes it to the surface, and Death doesn't seem to follow
<Chain> <Miyuki> get everyone else out while we keep her slowed and try and seal this off
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks around, as they are back at the temples
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Everyone out?
<Chain> <Miyuki> then check that theres no where else the miasma is leaking to
<Sara> * Erica frowns, breathing a bit heavy, while Liana looks around
<Stretch> 6Mykel stands ready behind Miyuki and Celsius since they're doing most of the slowing with their ice.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I believe that all survivors are accounted for."
<SuperKoala> *Little fires into the tunnel, attempting to collapse it
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy checks for Spira, Salamander, Celsius, Miyuki, etc
<DeathStar> 6* Celes holds her stomach, sitting nearby. Eve arrives at academy, Aska in front and her army behind them.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "My cousin's army is here..."
<DeathStar> <Lu> Why did it choose to come back here? *from the ground dark miasma leaks up, as if drawn to the ancient temples, drawing power from them*
<SuperKoala> *Commodus salutes Eve
<DeathStar> <Eve> We are herte
<Mukurokuma> * A growl forms in Vyvy's throat at the presence of Aska
<SuperKoala> Little> Oh no, it's comjng up anyways.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It's still coming... somethign about this place is empowering it."
<DeathStar> 6* Spira leans on Vyvy, peering at Aska as the Light Spirit joins Miyuki.
<Chain> <Kitty> then fire at the temple
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"Perhaps this is where it was originally locked away? Some portion of it's power?"
<DeathStar> <Isis> But the temples are our home
<SuperKoala> *Little fires on the Temple
<Seraphna> * Alita joins Mykel's side.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket hits the temple, but does little damage.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I believe that it is making use of the ancient machinery here."
<SuperKoala> Little> Well... that was ineffective.
<Sara> * Liana peers at the Holy Army with an unreadable face. Erica peers around to make sure no one's dying
<DeathStar> 6* Death begins to rise up. Aska fires a light beam, and it screeches, the dark miasma peeling away
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Mrs. Mizukaze... you might want to consider new real estate locations..."
<Chain> <Miyuki> then head to the temple and find it
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"We need to find a weakness..."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki eyes Cookie
<Seraphna> Alita> "Light seems to be working..."
<Chain> <Miyuki> SHE'S A NUE
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We need to get the students out of here while aska engages it."
<SuperKoala> *Little nods and shifts to a bear, scooping Cookie and scrambling for the Temple
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...Nue... yes, sorry Mrs. Nue."
<DeathStar> <Lu> We got the students out, Sasha.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...My memory is still a bit... broken."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Sasha, take who you need and go to the temple as well
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki charges Death as Aska hits it and punches at it with foxfire, trying to get the core
<Stretch> 6Mykel stands near Miyuki trying to see if there is a possible weakness of Death.
<Seraphna> * Cookie squeaks at Yuki doing that and forms her guns, giving her covering fire with trajectory shots.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And this is about to become a battlefiend, Miss Lu." *turns to the temple* "Come, team."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki reels at Yuki and hurries to keep her from dying
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki staggers back, shaking her head
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ow
<SuperKoala> *Commodus rushes to support Yuki, slashing at Death as well
<DeathStar> 6* Death seems ot hate Spirit's attacks
<DeathStar> 6* Which means it despises summoners or mages
<Seraphna> * Cookie blasts wisps of Death near Yuki.
<Chain> 6*Kitty after Sasha
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves for the temple to help locate the machinery*
<Seraphna> * Alita chants and casts Fire lv. 1 at it.
<Stretch> Mykel> 12"Ranged attacks seem to be our best option, so anybody who attacks in melee needs to be wary.
<DeathStar> 6* Death makes an oise, and Sylph and Celsius, as well as Salamander attack
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pants as she attacks again with Ice and snow
<Sara> <Erica> Starin' Death right in the face... I like that kind of willpower. *Erica moves in and uses her Chi Blast ability, directed at Death* (Creates a blast of energy, bending air for a concussive blow, normally dealing 7 damage)
<SuperKoala> *Commodus hails back and slashes with full strength (Burn 9 str)
<Seraphna> * Cookie burns a Stamina and attacks it with Scramble Slam again. [Stun]
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy switches to her summoner mode to keep afar, knowing she's still rattled and unleashes barrages of spirit blasts at it in tandem with her Great Spirit entourage
<DeathStar> 6* Shion moves itno the temple. The ancient temple's power source normally cannot be found, but the miasma seems to go deep into it toward a wall, seeping through a normal looking wall
<Stretch> 6Mykel tosses a hand out at a passing fireball, catching a spark and creates a second fireball with it; Pyrokinetics Lv.1 [4Hp damage]
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans the walls of the temple*
<DeathStar> 6* Slowly, Death's miasma field fades, revealing Tsivrixsh armor, high class looking armor
<Chain> 6*Kitty opens a ripple into the wall
<Chain> <Miyuki> the fuck
<DeathStar> 6* A hidden passage is on the other side, revealing the first race's machinary, and a strange looking crystal
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...That's... Tsiv...?"
<Sara> <Erica> Bloody hell!
<DeathStar> 6* Death stumbles forward, it's glowing red eyes and mouth opening to screech
<DeathStar> 6* Aska blasts it again
<Sara> <Erica> Aim for the armor!
<Seraphna> Cookie> "MOmma Miyu, what is Tsiv armor doing here?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki blasts it with snow
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy hurls another blast when it starts to screech
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Shut the fuck up@!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That is creepy
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Be wary." *moves into the machine room*
<SuperKoala> *Commodus hails back for a stab at it's mouth ( SPQR Offensive: Commodus is able to tap into his inner strength for a massive heavy attack against an enemy [6 HP Damage])
<Seraphna> * Alita sends a fire blast move at it.
<Sara> * Liana meanwhile has followed after Sasha of course
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans the machinery and the crystal*
<SuperKoala> *Little follows, shifting back
<DeathStar> 6* The miasma seems to draw power from the crystal. The crystal seems to match what Airym and co are looking for, a chunk of it
<DeathStar> 6* Shion swings her staff back
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This is a Centerpoint fragment."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Let's--it is?
<Chain> <Kitty> dismantle it?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion grabs it, despite the miasma touching it, and the miasma latches onto Shion, draining her and yanks it up
<DeathStar> 6* The machine dying
<Seraphna> Alita> "Another crystal!?"
<DeathStar> 6* The temples' power goes off in all of it
<DeathStar> 6* Death stumbles, losing another power source.
<Stretch> 6Mykel pulls out a fully formed Psy-Blade, watching the armor curiously as he swaps over to Summoner mode as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion shakes the miasma off
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves to take the crystal from Shion*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "That's what we're looking for..."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki charges with a backhand
<DeathStar> 6* She hands it over. Death charges at Miyuki, trying toi kill her to get more energy. Aska charges for her final move to seal Death
<DeathStar> 6* Salamander and the other spirits collapse, out of power. Yuki leaps onto Erica
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica, throw me at it
<SuperKoala> *Commodus jumps between Miyu and Death
<DeathStar> 6* She focuses her energy
<DeathStar> 6* Death tries to impale Commodus
<Sara> * Erica was about to do her limit break, but trusting Yuki, she throws her as best she can
<Chain> <Miyuki> Get away from my children you bitch 6*she foxfires it in the face
<Seraphna> * Cookie fires at Death with Probability Vertex. (5 Damage, Ignores all Durability)
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Beginning data retrieval." *tries interfacing with the crystal using the centerpoint control software that was merged with her AI*
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy strokes Spira's head, then shifts modes to Paladin and runs in with the Moonflower Blade and uses Holy Strike on it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is the situation in here now contained?"
<SuperKoala> *Commodus attempts to take it as dest he can (1: Commodus is able to take an attack that would kill him, leaving him at 1 HP. Must be activated first to be of use.)
<DeathStar> 6* With it's sycthe. Yuki is thrown and uses Monster Bash, tyurning into a giant Fox Monster. Instant Death. Of course it doens't work, but pins Death from killing Commodus in conjunction with his move
<Stretch> 6Mykel moves for the side of Death trying to get just outside of its Scythe range.
<Seraphna> * Alita response by casting Mage Cure Max on Commodus.
<DeathStar> 6* The holy strike hits Death, making it howl
<DeathStar> 6* Then the foxfire, etc.
<Seraphna> * Cookie fires at Death with Probability Vertex. (5 Damage, Ignores all Durability) *Burn stamina if needed to be a repeat*
<SuperKoala> Little> Uh, I still hear battle
<DeathStar> 6* Death begins to waver, looking smaller
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Alright, let's head back out and rejoin the battle."
<DeathStar> 6* Aska then hits it with a ball of light, and crunches it down, sealing Death away again. Sending it into Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Eve and the rest of the army cheer, having been praying to power up Aska
<SuperKoala> *Commodus drops down but survives, curling into a ball of pain
<Chain> 6*Miyuki snarls as she keeps unloading her fox fire, chanting some prayer as she does so, clinging to a certain charm
<Seraphna> * Cookie pants, dismissing her guns.
<Sara> <Erica> What about the armor?
<Stretch> 6Mykel whispers a slight murmer, the blade in his hand glowing white as Holy Elements cover its length before Death is no longer there...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *heads back outside*
<SuperKoala> Little> Seems over now
<Seraphna> Cookie> Did someone say there were OTHER crystals here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki stumbles. Aska turns to go, without another thought
<Sara> * Erica moves over to check the armor
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> ASKA!
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yeah, we knew that when we came, Cookie
<Seraphna> * Alita moves over and checks on Yuki.
<DeathStar> 6* Aska peers back at Vyvy
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks exhausted
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> ... That thing.. it took master!
<Seraphna> Cookie> "No but I mean... that demon girl there has seen others? Like... you already know where they are?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki picks up little Death by the scruff
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> It used me to cut her down... what is it?!
<DeathStar> (Death was sealed into the planet)
<Chain> (retracted!
<DeathStar> <Aska> Shade is gone. Her spirit is as destroyed as if someone killed her. The age of light has begun
<DeathStar> 6* She moves on.
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Fuck you!
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sinks to her knees and winces
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns, raising a brow.
<Stretch> 6Mykel stands, holding the holy covered psy-blade in hand still; 12"Yes, we've seen two other crystals."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> ... I don't believe that for a moment. I've heard that once someone ressurected a spirit. It just took an absurd amount of spiritual mana.
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> You were sisters! Equal! What the fuck kind of age is that!?
<Seraphna> Alita> "An imbalance in the elements..."
<SuperKoala> Commodus> Ow.
<DeathStar> <Eve> *to Vyvy* You should be glad to be in age of morality and goodness. *She smiles* Welcome the light
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> That's all you have to say!? It absorbed her!!
<Seraphna> Alita> "Celcius made a prophecy involving bringing back a spirit that was lost at great sacrifice from another."
<DeathStar> 6* The Hapians turn to go
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks out* "I advise not provoking Aska for the moment."
<Chain> <Miyuki> someone....help Commodus....Yuki...
<Sara> * Erica is still trying to check the armor -- unless it's gone with Death
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Tell me the truth!!
<DeathStar> 6* Yeah, it went with Death
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...nor mentioning any prophecies..."
<Sara> * Unfortunate. Erica moves to help Yuki then
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph touches Vyvy weakly
<Seraphna> * Alita blinks and moves over to heal Yuki, considering Commodus a baby since he ignored her using her powerful heal on him. Sniff.
<Mukurokuma> * Vyvy jerks, as if startled by Sylph
<SuperKoala> *He's fine but he did get impaled
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Let it go. It is in Aska's interest to have Shade gone. Volt will not stand against her. He is neutral. Light will rule now.
<Sara> <Liana> What does that mean, for light to rule...?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *lowers her voice* "Liana, see to Celes... discreetly." *glances back to Eve*
<Stretch> 6Mykel will move over towards Vyvy, looking in case she has her moonflower blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Celes looks better now
<Sara> * Liana hugs Celes
<DeathStar> 6* Commodus has a dark spot on his skin, like Sasha's sword
<DeathStar> 6* Celes hugs back
<Seraphna> * Alita uses a Heal Lv. 1 on Yuki. (7 HP heal)
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *to Liana* We will see, I suppose
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki merowls, sitting up and flopping on Erica
<SuperKoala> *Commodus rises shakily, looking drained
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Mukurokuma> <Vyvy> Rule..? Screw that..
<DeathStar> Kumen
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits back as Nue Age Newscasters report on what they told them
<DeathStar> 6* She heads back for the club, drained
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus brings her a drink
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns, electing to have a talk with Asarar but not when things are already this bad
<Mukurokuma> * Saoirse supports her, waiting on word from Sen or any other developments
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pauses, getting a message from a mysterious source. She eyes it - the sender blocked. It shows a simply picture of Ylva with Ymir and her mother , in some strange location. The two sisters together finally. The message readers: United.
<Seraphna> * Luci works on patching Asarar up as best she can.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Operation Counterspin is now a go."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... what in the world...?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Asarar, what is it?
<Seraphna> * Sword Girl walks with them, all haughty and mysterious since no one's asked her name.
<Stretch> 6Jelly can't stop blabbering to Asarar as they go, seeming like an overly energetic fox who can't leave her side.
<Chain> 6*The Phigglets mope in Bonnie and Riki's lap
<DeathStar> 6* Sao gets word from Sen that she accomplished her mission, as does Kira, that the Corporations are backing down. Sen also asks Sao to consider sticking on as an Agent full time, even after the Aquarius crew comes back
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie and Riki pet them as the club slowly cleans up the damage the Psycho people did
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus sticks out a hand to sword girl "Hello, I am Prometheus"
<Seraphna> * The Sword Girl pauses and looks at the hand, slowly taking it. "Camilla. Camilla Severus."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think...that Ylva's mother faked her death to rescue her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And reunite the sisters.
<Stretch> 6Kaylin walks along behind Sao for now, 14"I didn't even have to shoot anything..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> A shame that Maxwell knows the truth now
<SuperKoala> *Prometheus shakes her hand with a little too much vigor
<Sara> * Chelsea bites her lip
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *glances at Kira* Well, it's all over. We can all go back to normal and be our usual selves.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar collapses at the bar and sips her drink
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks at the wording and looks at Kira knowingly
<Seraphna> * The sword girl takes it solidly. She peers around. "What is this group? That fights like this?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yeah... whatever that means..."
<Sara> <Chelsea> What's that supposed to mean, "Kira?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto kicks in the bar door, covered in blood and carrying a large bag
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar uses the Dagger of Dra to cut bread slices
<Seraphna> * Luci takes a seat by Asarar and sighs, sending for the doctor to have a look at her.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What are you on about?"
<Chain> 6*Wolfe rubs his own messy face as he follows behind Otto
<Sara> * Chelsea narrows her gaze then sits by Asarar
<SuperKoala> Otto> I'm going to be in the basement making a chair, no one bother me.
<Stretch> 6Jelly keeps blabbering to Asarar excitedly for now, though whether she'll be upset at the state of the office upstairs...
<DeathStar> *Asarar just pats Jelly*
<Chain> <Wolfe> girls
<DeathStar> *Riki and Bonnie bounce over to Wolfe and clean him*
<Chain> 6*Wolfe chuckles and rubs their heads
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *sets down large sacks of coin for poeople to take* There's your money
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar raises a glass.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> To saving the day, this time
<SuperKoala> *Otto grabs it as he passes for the basement
<Seraphna> * Luci rises a glass to it.
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Asarar and decides to wait for a better and more private moment to talk about Kira rather than right in front of her
