The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6
Session 156
<DeathStar> 6* Shion and Isis looks around; the walls are mossy
<Luci> * Alita flaps her wings and flusters. "This takes some getting used to.
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy picks up Celsius and puts her on her shoulders.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Peaceful here...for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius peers around. On the wall are the liquids Kalam promised
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Alright kiddo, lead the way.
<Luci> * Alita moves to take one, giving one to Talia too.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Up... *she points north* I feel something that way
<Sara> * Ellie frowns, examining the liquid even though she takes one
<Sathen> *Mykel takes one of the vials and offers a couple out to the others as well*
<Sara> * Liana takes one and drinks as she's supposed to
<Xanatos> 6* Simon takes a drink and downs it, making a slight face.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *takes one and drinks it down*
<DeathStar> 6* Each of them feel something that burns inside. Giving them more strength and their eyesight gets stronger. For Miyuki, her fox powers increases 2x
<DeathStar> 6* Isis merowls, more cattily
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy sniffs the vial, then pockets it for now.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki's tails grow longer and wilder
<Luci> * Alita rubs her head. "Well that feels weird."
<Luci> Talia> "Super Talia!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Let's take advantage of this.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis rubs on everyone, purring
<Sathen> *Mykel drinks his vial, looking towards where Celsius has indicate*
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy moves, carrying Celsius.
<DeathStar> 6* Northward leads toward the exit; however as they step out there is snow. There seems to be some guards of the monks, backs to them, likely to keep the magi out
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki looms protectively of Isis
<DeathStar> <Monk 1> Bored. <Monk 2> I want another swig of the spirit juice
<Xanatos> 6* Simon trots after Vyvy, though he slows to a stop and peers at the guards.
<DeathStar> <Monk 1> You had your daily fill. You're getting addicted
<Luci> * Alita looks to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* The snow, unlike 4 feet in the real world, is sparce
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I'm not sure how they'd take us being here, but I don't feel right knocking them out-- one of the magi might sneak out or something because of it
<Luci> ALita> "I could always convince them to let us by?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon motions to Alita to try.
<DeathStar> 6* The two keep going on about the one's addiction, not noticing them yet
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Worth a try if it means not leaving a hole in security..
<Sathen> *Mykel glances at the others, moving into a position near Alita in case her pheromones don't work*
<Luci> * Alita nods and moves over towards them.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis hugs on Miyuki, nuzzling, stretching*
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she muses, having nine tails temporarily, peering herself over, then looking herself over and looking herself up and down*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki carries Isis
<DeathStar> <Shion> Huh. *she looks a lot like Miyuki right now, though mixed with Isis*
<Luci> * Alita burns 1 Pheramones on each of them. Putting her charm on full. "Hey there."
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki also carries Shion, murring
<DeathStar> <Shion> I wonder if this liquid could seperate Gwen if we took it back with us. *she stretches like Miyuki, then blinks*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *crosses her arms and waits*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands by Vyvy and waits to see if Alita succeeds.
<DeathStar> *they turn toward Alita, hit full on by phermones, drooling idiots*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Worth a shot, right?
<DeathStar> 6* They lay on the ground, reaching at Alita's feet
<Luci> * Alita smiles and tosses her hair gently. "We're just going to go on by, you two keep doing such a good job and guard the way for us alright?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> I think that is a yes
<Sara> * Ellie looks down at the result with some disgust
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...good going..."
<Luci> * Alita leans down and tries to use her hold on them to inspire them to stay vigilant even when letting them go by.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Hm. *she turns to Ellie and kisses on her hand* Worship
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hmph.
<Sathen> *Mykel glances at their display, then to his wife* Perhaps a bit too much dear one...
<DeathStar> <Celsius> This is weird
<Luci> * Alita huffs. "I used my weakest one."
<DeathStar> <Isis> *she heh hehs*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Well, let's continue at any rate. 6* Simon moves to go in the direction Celsius was pointing.
<Luci> * Alita looks back at them. "Well? Going to do a good job for me?"
<Sathen> Mykel> I suggest we continue on while they're befuddled.
<DeathStar> *they bow in answer*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *walks forward* "Being monks, they are likely very much repressed."
<Luci> * Alita smiles and blows them a kiss and heads along.
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius hops and moves on, pulling Vyvy*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Unseemly
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Vyvy not watch
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki snickers at Cel
<Luci> * Alita rubs her horn a little. "I wonder if it was repression or if that liquid is enhancing my power... I dread to think what would have happened had I used my strongest pheramone burst."
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I-- I wasn't?
<Sathen> *Mykel guides Alita past the two love-struck monks* Let's not consider that for now...
<DeathStar> 6* As they watch the snowy hill, they would see some things that let them know the real world can be considered affected the spirit realm, just not touching it, much like how Shade saved them last time. As they walk, as a training regime trains, an accident causes a small explosion and a hole appears near them
<DeathStar> (or shade/Vyvy)
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *she peers at Ellie* Weird
<Luci> Alita> "By Mana Everflowing..."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks at the hole.
<Sara> * Ellie nods
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...is this the training yard?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> Seems so
<DeathStar> 6* The group travels for 3 hours, never tiring, strangely, or getting cold, moving in the direction where Celsius came from
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Use your recollection and walk to avoid potential threats from the other side."
<DeathStar> 6* Eventually arriving in the mountain where Celsius came from that time
<DeathStar> 6* However, now it seems no longer to be a mountain, but a plain
<Xanatos> <Simon> Is...this the spot?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...Celsius, does this look at all right to you?"
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> This isn't... what it is in the other side
<Luci> Alita> "Seems a little flat to me."
<Sathen> Mykel> It should be, but it looks nothing like what I remember from going to her mountain before.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Feels very right but... *she pauses, as she eyes a spot with a frozen crystal is at*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon muses about their progreses, wondering how the potion works.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be impede them
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Frozen. not my area
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hrm
<Xanatos> <Simon> Odd.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki blinks at her and moves to the frozen crystal
<DeathStar> *she crosses her arms, circling the crystal*
<Sara> * Ellie pats Sylph
<DeathStar> 6* It seems underneath is a cavern, being protected by the crystal*
<Sara> * Liana leans in, looking at the crystal closer
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Celsius can't make it go away. Tried
<DeathStar> *she looks unhappy*
<Luci> Alita> Everything seems topsy turvy here, maybe the mountain is actually underneath?
<Sathen> *Mykel moves towards the crystal as well*
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy sees if she can pick up the crystal instead
<Xanatos> <Simon> What can I do to help?
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki hugs Cel and pets her
<DeathStar> 6* Vyvy would feel unnaturally cold when she touches, as if a spirit made it
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> shhh its ok, you did your best
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What of fire?"
<Sathen> Mykel> Dear One? A spark please?
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I'm.. not sure if that's a good idea.
<Luci> * Alita nods and holds out her hand, then pauses.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Celsius, you can't move it, can you touch it?" She holds it out to her
<Sathen> Mykel> I can try just moving it.
<DeathStar> *Celsius touches it*
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> What do you feel?
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Um... like it's part of me
<Xanatos> <Simon> Part of you, but you cannot control it? Bizarre.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> That's what I was afraid of
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> It's very likely if you destroyed this-- you might have killed Celsius
<Xanatos> <Simon> You have a theory?
<Luci> * Alita frowns a little.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I..." She scowls, as if she doesn't want to say what she's thinking in front of Celsius.
<Luci> Alita> Celcius is Celcius, both not Celcius."
<Luci> Alita> "Is that what you're all trying to not say?"
<Sathen> *Mykel nods* Then we don't destroy it, just move it.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Forget about it for now." She holds onto it, despite looking a little pale, as if chilled.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> We're going to explore below, right? We should move on.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Agreed.
<Luci> Alita> "Isn't it in the way?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> We can try to move it.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "How?"
<Sara> <Ellie> Dig around it?
<DeathStar> *Shion muses*
<Sathen> *He closes his eyes and uses TK Lv.3 to move the crystal to the side and open up the path to the cavern below*
<DeathStar> <Shion> digging might work
<Sara> <Liana> I guess that makes sense. "If you can't move it, don't move it".
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Hold on
<DeathStar> *Shion works to make a monster to start digging
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki considers if going to her monster fox size would work
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy closes her eyes, then tries something she hasn't done in a while, trying to impart the crystal into her subspace for her dragoon weapon storage.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph would gives Liana a mark to help digging
<Sara> * Liana does her best, using th emark
<DeathStar> 6* After digging, they uncover the cave beneath. Celsius excitedly runs down under it
<DeathStar> <Shion> Cel--
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> C-Cel!" She jerks and runs after her
<Xanatos> 6* Simon rubs the back of his neck and moves after them.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki reels and chases as well
<DeathStar> 6* Isis runs under, tails shifting.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We ahve no chocie now." *climbs into the cavern*
<Luci> * Alita follows with Talia.
<DeathStar> 6* They soon enter the cave complex, where they soon pop out and find another set of Magi, set up into a huge base like RE5 in that level underground in the ruins. They are all in their underground houses and homes, but they homes are designed in a pattern, with hostages set up like that familiar pattern to sacrifice again later. And in the middle, hanging on a crystal, is...Celsius? She hangs there, looking drained
<Sara> * Ellie gently tries to climb down after Celsius. Liana shrugs and follows
<Luci> * Alita frowns, shivering. "Disrpting that is going to take a lot more than before."
<DeathStar> 6* Stuff hooked into her to drain spirital energy to give the Magi power into the area to give the area power and they can see the Magi are trying to set up the power. some Magi are doing rituals, as if trying to tap into people who use Ice powers
<Sara> * Ellie lets out a quiet puff of air, trying not to make a sound at such an ugly scene, as she tries to silently ready her bow
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *gestures to be quiet and then indicates what they see*
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius peers over the area
<DeathStar> <Shion> ... <Isis> Mer
<Xanatos> 6* Simon holds his spear ready, kneeling to get a lay of the land.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Ergh... knew it..
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki lowers herself but her tails bristle
<DeathStar> <Celsius> I remember. I know her
<Sathen> *Mykel frowns at the scene, waiting with them*
<DeathStar> *She sits, as if tapping her head like a kid*
<Luci> * Alita ducks low and tries to assess the flow of the mana in the area. Knowing she has to be careful here.
<Luci> Alita> <If I'm right they chose this place due to a leyline.>
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> This is what master was sensing when she said you didn't feel 'whole.'
<DeathStar> 6* Shion peers over the ridge, the team a little higher than the Magi, who are down below, about 25 feet below
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hm. Kalam not quite right either
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Celsius think she remembers now
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Twin spirits?
<Sathen> *Mykel nods* <Quite possible, but disrupting that many mages?>
<Luci> Alita> "Or Celsuis sent a part of herself out to get help."
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Yes. Celsius was unique. Magi made her and sister. But when sister sent Celsius away, didn't want to leave her, want was damaged
<Sathen> Mykel> <It may be a better idea to rescue the second Celsius and get out with as little fighting as possible>
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I don't... think that's the case
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Lost a lot of herself
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I think Celsius is an artificial spirit..." She says flatly. As if it was what she was bothered by earlier.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Silly. Not artifical. But made here
<Luci> Alita> "Well... it goes without saying we need to stop this."
<DeathStar> *she gestures in the spirit realm*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *merely nods* "...I'm open to suggestions."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Regardless we need to take these magi out and save her.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> It doesn't matter. Like I said earlier, you're my little sister. If she is, too, then it's clear.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Give the word, and I'll rampage.
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she looks around, then at the cavern*
<Luci> Alita> "I stopped it last time with a great deal of effort and my twin here to help empower me... this is a much bigger scale with a spirit."
<DeathStar> <Shion> If we can dump that on the ritual circle
<Sathen> Mykel> Tact is better than brute force in this case I fear
<Luci> * Alita nods. "Direct disrupton may have to be the trick this time."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Dump what? 6* he looks where SHion is looking.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> She means the ceiling.
<Luci> Alita> "The roof."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Ceiling. It'll take a few direct hits
<DeathStar> <Shion> But we're all much stronger
<Luci> Alita> "My fire could probably weaken the stone now."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...we risk crushing her though.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Be wary. Tjhese magi are stronger than those on our own side."
<DeathStar> <Shion> that's why a few of us need to get het
<DeathStar> <Shion> And the hostages
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, there are more hostages here."
<Sathen> *Mykel looks up at the ceiling as well* And I can draw that fire and control it for a while...
<Xanatos> <Simon> I go rescue the hostages and other celsius.
<DeathStar> <Shion> My fear is if we go in, the spirit could be used, or the hostage circle could be
<Luci> Alita> "It will be used."
<DeathStar> <Shion> so we need to be split up
<Luci> ALita> "These Magi won't hesitate to use their power."
<Sathen> Mykel> Best bet would be to get in as quickly as possible and get out...who's the fastest?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I'll help Ellie!
<Xanatos> 6* Simon ponders, not the fastest.
<DeathStar> <Shion> don't forget, you all seem to be pretty strong
<DeathStar> *she eyes her mother's tails*
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I'll wait... I didn't take my vial.
<Sara> <Liana> Celsius, if we can get to your sister, would you be able to teleport her?
<Sara> <Ellie> With Sylph, I can probably move pretty fast
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> My ... undying nature might be necessary if something goes wrong.
<Luci> Alita> "I'll focus spells on the ceiling and save my healing for when we need to withdraw."
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Sister! Yes!
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki flicks a tail against Shion's cheek with a motherly pap
<DeathStar> <Shion> Good idea.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Use me as an anchor point, Cel. I'll be waiting.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon readies his spear and looks for a way down, so he's ready to go once they're ready to split up.
<Sara> * Ellie squints, scoping out the exact situation and surroundings
* Retrieving #DualSession155&156 modes...
<Luci> * Alita muses, and tries to see if that leyline is there, figuring if she can tap it she can reduce what the Magi would use to retaliate.
<DeathStar> #DualSession157Ice
<DeathStar> #DualSession157Hostages
<DeathStar> (I'll leave this room for the ceiling collapse)
<DeathStar> (aka ritual end)
* Nyaomi (looks confused on where to go)
<DeathStar> (top room was to free the twins)
<DeathStar> (bottom room was to get all the people out before dropping the ceiling)
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves near the ritual, getting ready to set up rools to destroy it once the other teams are ready
<Luci> * Alita and Talia confer on a plan to dual cast and how best to crack the ceiling.
<Luci> * Alita pulls Mykel into the mix, planning to use his TK and PK to their advantage.
<DeathStar> *Isis sets up a few charges , humming*
<DeathStar> 6* Isis coughs as the entire place becomes cloudy
<Luci> * Alita waves cloudiness away and Talia climbs into her cleavage for air filtration. Mykel doesn't need to breath.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki tail fans it
<DeathStar> *The others bring them all 9 hostages
<Luci> * The girls look for the signal, peers over at the situation with Celcius.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I don't think anyone heard us. But they're moving around down there looking. 6*He whispers.
<Luci> Alita> "Let us know when. WE'll being a chunk of the ceiling down."
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy searches, so far not seeing the missing hostages, but it's coming soon*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Their time is limited..."
<Luci> * Alita and Talia chant quietly, preparing their Fire spells to be ready and Mykel looks to be concentrating.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps forward and raises a hand, preparing her string spell in case it is needed*
<DeathStar> 6* The explosves is ready but the two ice spirits and Ellie and Sylph are in the way*
<DeathStar> <Magi 1> Look up there~
<Xanatos> 6* Simon squints towards the crystal and tries to think of a way to help.
<DeathStar> *they all point up*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Not good
<DeathStar> 6* The Magi begin to chant*
<Luci> Alita> *pauses the chant* Distraction.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "No!" *flails her hands out at the magi, using ehr string trap*
<DeathStar> 6* Sasha takes down a lot of them due to the power enhancement
<Xanatos> 6* Simon begins to mumble under his breath, preparing to summon his ice wall if he has to.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...keep your spells at the ready!"
<DeathStar> 6* the four appear, and Sylph falls over, weak
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Begin our withdrawal... and bring it down!"
<Luci> * Alita and Talia resume. Focusing on the area of the ceiling they each picked. Mykel holds out his hand and as thier fire spells go off and impact the roof, he directs the flame's impact completely upward and into the rock. He then lowers both hands and starts tearing the rock out with TK.
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy picks up Sylph, fishing out the vial she kept, and dabs it on Sylph's lips.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis begins to activate the exposives
<Luci> * Talia then fires a blast of mana out at the rock and Alita sends a flame burst spell into it the break the rocks up as they fall.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Liana, see to Sylph! We need to start our withdrawal."
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius begins to run
<Sara> * Liana sees to Celsius, knowing Vyvy and Ellie have Sylph covered
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *starts pulling back herself*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon checks to see if the ceiling destruction provides enough distraction then moves to leave, or help everyone leave if they don't have the energy to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* The Magi panic and try to throw spells after them, throwing curses to grab onto them. Hells grab onto Miyuki, simon, and the twin
<DeathStar> <Magi Leader> You have ruined our home!
<DeathStar> 6* Shion rushes and climbs out the hole
<Luci> * Mykel then brings the flames down on the Magi, having control over them for 15 turns.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And you have ruined our world!" *then takes off up the cave*
<Luci> Alita> *casts a flash burst in the faces of the Magi to distract and blind them*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to figure out what is holding him and tries to knock it off, tapping into his elemental power if possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them the leylines are being destroyed
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks down the tunnel* "Where is everyone else?!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Magi swoosh and burns, screaming
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flies out and lands in the snow and Celsius and her twin climbs out
<Luci> * Talia steals some of the precious leaking mana for her mistress and books it. Alita begins tow withdraw dragging Miyuki along.
<Sara> * Ellie follows close behind Sylph, while Liana keeps an eye on Celsius and twin
<Xanatos> 6* Simon makes sure Miyuki is free as well, moving to leave if he's able.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki hurries to escape
<DeathStar> 6* It seems after that firestorm, no one is holding them
<Luci> * Mykel follows his woman.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis flops in the snow. It seems they are all okay.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks around* "Everyone made it..."
<DeathStar> <Shion> We did it
<Xanatos> 6* Simon breathes a bit heavily, but not like he normally would be.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Let's get back to the gate... then we'll have made it."
<Luci> Talia> "Talia took magic!" *she shows off to Alita, who pets her*
<DeathStar> 6* She blinks as Magi rush out past them, flailing and running past them
<Luci> * Talia trips one.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...what was that?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *watches the magi* "...what?"
<Luci> Alita> "Did we overdo it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Some are on fire, others holding children or loved ones.
<Sara> * Liana looks to Celsius' twin, offering them her shoulders if they're too worn out to keep moving for any reason. "Do you have a name?" she asks the twin
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki plops by Isis
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I think we did.
<Luci> Alita> "They probably shouldn't have kidnapped people to use for batteries then.:
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy summons a few jets of water and douses the ones on fire with children
<DeathStar> <Twin> Name...? I...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...no one said anything about this..." *looks at the others* "...just what is going on here?!"
<Luci> Alita> "It was a settlement, what did you think was in it? All lonely men staring a spellbooks?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Don't be so self righteous, Alita. Wrong actions are still wrong.
<DeathStar> 6* The children collapse with the female near them, eyeing at their home melting, the snow slowly collapsing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...well...pretty much... yes."
<Luci> * Alita shakes her head and rises. "WE'll tend to the wounded."
<Luci> Alita> "But they made the first of the poor decisions."
<DeathStar> *Isis peers at Miyuki while they argue*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves to heal what he can, what little good that'll do.
<Xanatos> (who he can)
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Since we were told that these were rogue magi who were exiled to and then warped by the Spirit Realm."
<Luci> Alita> "How do you think they became decendants of those exiled?"
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> That was a long time ago. I doubt new generations made the choices they live by.
<Luci> Alita> "I'm afraid sex is involved in making babies no matter what your ancestry."
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I don't regret what we had to do, but I don't have to condemn them.
<DeathStar> *Alita as she nears the children, she would feel a twisted aura to them, no doubt adapting to the spirit realm. Part human, part this realm*
<Nyaomi> * She goes to check on the groups with kids
<Luci> Alita> "Hrm... how did they hope to leave? These children..."
<Luci> * Alita looks over the injured, healing wounds. "They're part of the realm now."
<DeathStar> <Isis> *she moves to the children, then at the twin ice spirits*
<DeathStar> <Isis> They must have hoped to use the spirits somehow*
<Nyaomi> <Tenebrae> The children-- they're like Tenebrae. They adapted.
<Nyaomi> *Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Celsius> *she plays with her twin, happy*
<Luci> Alita> "Without something drastic they have as much chance of living in our realm as we do of theirs."
<DeathStar> 6* The ground shakes softly*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Ellie...
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *shakes out her hair* "What I do know is that they conspired against our realm and kidnapped my sister amongst others."
<Sara> <Ellie> Guys, we have to get out of here... now.
<Luci> * Alita nods. "So we leave them to find a new settlement and leave. Now."
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy purses her lips at Sasha. "Then are you guilty for your mothers' and ancestors choices also?
<Luci> * Talia seems quiet, perhaps sensing that her mistress is dealing with the consequences by choosing to own their actions rather than regret them.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki nods to Ellie and goes to her monster fox form, anot about to have her wife and children run on foot when she secures them in a tail.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion peers down as cracks appear. Apparantly Kalam's predictions was wrong. Bigger cracks appear, then an epicenter appears, a huge crack appears, with a large earthquake appearing with a glowing energy appearing
<DeathStar> 6* The energy full of spirit energy that is tainted
<Luci> ALita> "The Leyline?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> This is NOT good!
<Luci> Alita> "No... that's... that's the taint."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well, Kalam was half right, there is the taint
<Luci> Alita> "How do we cleanse it now?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Maybe with the power of the twins?!
<Luci> * Talia looks at the tainted spirit energy and hisses a little.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...have we been misled?"
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> No.. master wouldn't have..
<Luci> Alita> "It doesn't matter. WHat matters is what we do with it."
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy clicks her tongue.
<Nyaomi> "We can't do anything now. Get out! To the exit.
<DeathStar> <Shion> We can take it up with her if need be
<Sara> <Ellie> Misled or not, we got Celsius' sister and that matters, so come on!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You are right. Speculation later. We must deal with the present."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks ready to leave, are they riding a giant Miyuki?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion eyes the spirital energy, then looks at Miyuki, then Isis
<DeathStar> <Shion> Hm...
<DeathStar> <Shion> Familiar
<DeathStar> 6* She climbs back onto Miyuki
<Luci> * Alita nods and frowns, "I can try a purification spell?"
<Luci> * Alita climbs up, Talia riding her. Mykel hops up.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will assist however I can.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *climbs into the foxtail*
<Luci> * Alita waits for a leader's call while preparing her cast.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon climbs up as well.
<DeathStar> <Twin> Shiva? So long
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy directs the fleeing families toward the guards and place they came from in the meantime, heading back to the two
<DeathStar> <Celsius> You can be Celsius 2. <Twin> What happened to you after being shot
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Shiva it is, nice to meet you, second little sister. Unless you have any idea how we untwist this mana, we need to leave now.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki nabs Vyvy by the scruff and makes an escape with every one on her back/in tails etc
<Luci> Alita> "I guess that decides it?"
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: The Spirititists
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive much quicker than 3 hours with her super speed, in about 30 minutes, at the temple, re-entering the doorway
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki slides in before plopping down, dropping Vyvy as she pants
<Luci> Alita> "That... was quite the reaction."
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy immediately calls for Shade and/or Aska
<DeathStar> 6* They find Kalam in cuffs, watching over Selena and the others
<Luci> Alita> "Somehow manages to keep her promise even while apparently arrested."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon frowns at Kalam in cuffs, glancing around quickly.
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> We need to make a quick exit." She utters, catching Kalam caught
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *slides out of the foxtail and brushes herself off*
<DeathStar> 6* The other two leaders stand there, peering at the group
<DeathStar> <Leader 1> What are you all up to?
<Luci> Alita> "No, they need to know what was happening and how Kalam saved a great spirit."
<DeathStar> 6* Shiva and Celsius peer at them
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Events aside, Kalam broke a Spiritualist taboo allowing us to know, much less enter.
<Luci> Alita> "Leaders, may we introduce Shiva. The other Ice Spirit."
<DeathStar> 6* The second leader eyes the family behind them, looking ill in this realm
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy casts a glance to the renegades she let follow them, as if they are the main reason for her calling Shade/Aska
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph sits on Ellie's head, while Selena leaps into Liana's arms
<DeathStar> <Kalam> There has been earthquakes here
<Luci> Alita> "These people are part of the Spirit Realm now, but have nowhere to go either. Perhaps you can help them." *she says, implying they can learn more about the Magi*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> What happened?
<Sara> * Liana hugs and pats Selena
<Xanatos> <Simon> Here as well?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Yes
<Luci> Alita> "When Shiva was freed, it exposed the taint."
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> What happens there affects here
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> A leyline in the spirit realm ruptured-- and overflowed with the twisted mana.
<Luci> Alita> "The ground ripped open showing the raw tainted spirit energy. But we don't know how to clean it."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Actually, I was wondering something. Momma?
<DeathStar> *she turns to Miyuki*
<Luci> Alita> "The Magi were siphoning Shiva for power."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I do wodner what their master scheme was."
<DeathStar> *Isis sits, winding down from being catty*
<DeathStar> <Woman> We just wanted to make the spirit realm more liveable for us
<Luci> Alita> "My best guess was some ritual to cleanse their SPirit Realm halves so they could come to this realm."
<Luci> Alita> "Oh..."
<DeathStar> <Woman> You don't know what it is like living there
<Luci> * Alita frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion moves over to Miyuki
<Xanatos> <Simon> It sounds like a very desperate situation. I'm sorry.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And why kidnap people from here?"
<Luci> Alita> "It does, but how does making things more comforterable justify kidnapping and murder?"
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Please, everyone
<DeathStar> <Woman> It may not, but can you imagine a thousand years living with your loved ones vanishing into the mist one night, fading into a spirit
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy eyes the woman with an extremely cold look.
<Luci> ALita> "We can. It's what happens to the people you kidnapped."
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> The important thing is, given an alternative, would you not celebrate the chance for your children to be rid of that life?
<Luci> Alita> "In a way. They vanish from our very memories."
<DeathStar> <Woman> We did not know
<DeathStar> *she sits*
<Luci> Alita> "We need to find all Magi on the other side and help bring them here. Give them a place to stay."
<Xanatos> <Simon> It doesn't justify anything, but without being put in a similar situation I'm not sure we're equipped to judge. It is a bad situation for all involved so we should attempt to be more sympathetic.
<Luci> Alita> "If that happens, this will end."
<DeathStar> *Shion moves over to them*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods to Alita, agreeing with that.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...if these are not allied with the rogue magi who tried to destroy our world... then who was he?"
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> More importantly, we need to know why they're rejecting this world.
<Luci> Alita> "Exile was for their ancestors."
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy gestures to the ill look they all have since arriving
<Luci> Alita> "I think I'm beginning to understand why."
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> That will provide a solution to not only their suffering but our being at odds
<DeathStar> <Shion> Vyvy
<DeathStar> <Shion> I need something from you
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> ... Yes?
<Nyaomi> * She blinks.
<Luci> Alita> "If a mortal is in the spirit realm too long, they adapt to the realm, become a spirit. These decendants are resistant from generations living in the realm. But over time, it still happens."
<DeathStar> <Shion> The shard in your head
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy recoils, a hand reflexively going over her eyepatch
<Luci> ALita> "That resistance there makes them ill here. They're missing that part of themeslves now attached to the Realm."
<Luci> Alita> "Is this... um... does that make sense?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> I think Miyuki can take it without pain. Listen
<DeathStar> <Shion> I was near mother and I think the taint resonance from people like you and mother
<DeathStar> *Shion points at Miyuki*
<Luci> * Alita blinks. "The tain is reality corruption?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> I can't say if it's from her being tied to the twins, or it's the spirit realm coming from that comet
<Luci> *taint
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> If it's a solution, pain or not but...
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I can't say I like fishing it out. It's what the people hunting me my whole life were trying to do.
<Nyaomi> * She grimaches. "And it's within my eye."
<Xanatos> <Simon> That...sounds unpleasant.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I do not think we should force somethign from Vyvy as it seems painful..."
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> doubting my ability? rude
<DeathStar> <Shion> It's just that shard might be needed. Mom can be needed to go through the taint. I talked with her and I think she's tired. Like Gor was
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Would you like me to dig through your eye?" She peers at Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Shion> And she's the only person I know who can do it
<DeathStar> <Shion> Without being eaten
<DeathStar> 6* She turns to the others
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Whatever..." She hangs her head a little.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> that way would be much easier to be honest
<DeathStar> <Shion> And it'll need you, Ellie
<Sara> * Ellie looks up
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I'm supposed to be a 'bridge' after all. But I had entrusted that to Tenebrae..
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki rises and moves to Vyvy using one hand to cup her face and placing her other hand over her eye and focusing.
<DeathStar> <Shion> And you, Liana
<Sara> <Liana> Eh?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "You were in the spirit realm before when you were kidnapped, Liana."
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy eyes her, looking pensive, but lifts the floral eyepatch off her other discolored eye and stills herself with tensed fingers.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Well, the ice girls are needed, so you Liana, Vyvy to use the summons of her, and Ellie to fly Miyuki out to the taint and keep Miyuki and Isis and the cubs steady with Sylph
<Sara> <Liana> Well... yeah...
<DeathStar> <Shion> And anyone else who has Celsius I suppose
<Luci> Alita> "I seem to be the antithesis of summoning, so I don't think I can help there."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon rubs the back of his neck, not quite getting it.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We'll toss you in
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes I'm not to that point yet either.
<Luci> * Talia hops on Gwen's shoulder.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki pulls back sharply with a sudden jerk clutching something in her hand.
<Luci> Alita> "I also apparently am a lghtning rod to mana."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Merowwwwl
<Luci> Alita> "Headmistress?"
<DeathStar> <Isis> Nice
<Luci> Alita> "Wow... just like that?"
<DeathStar> *Isis touches Mykel's head, downloadloading the information to him*
<DeathStar> *in lesson plans*
<DeathStar> 6* There's another quake*
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Ungh... I knew it
<Luci> Alita> "O-Oh my... we might want to do this quick.:
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Well, hope this works. *she's sent to the bring*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki nods, twirling it between fingers and moving for her cubs
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps back* "Indeed."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Nyaomi> * The white fox eyes Miyuki impassively.
<DeathStar> Location: The event
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers at the darkness, with Miyuki with her. The summoners with her
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That looks dark. You really plan to do this, Liana?
<DeathStar> *The two ice twins peer at it, ready to give their powers to the summoners*
<Sara> <Liana> Well... can't say that anything about this looks good, but the alternative of doing nothing isn't better
<DeathStar> 6* The reality shard powers Miyuki up, and guides her toward the p. reality, assuming this just doesn't eat her*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki wipes her brow a little
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy looks a little queasy, wearing the eyepatch again and seemingly plain blind in that eye now. She apologises to Shiva. "Sorry, we just met and I'm already impeding upon you, but hopefully this works."
<DeathStar> <Shiva> It will. *Sylph lifts Miyuki, Isis, and her cubs, floating her toward the event*
<DeathStar> *it getting closer and closer to eat her*
<Sara> * Ellie cheers Sylph on
<DeathStar> <Isis> Merowwwwl
<DeathStar> 6* The twins fire their magic. Gwen turns to Simon
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So the head mistress is leaving
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy does her best to converge the twins' magic and focus it
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Does that mean we're graduating
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I think so?
<Sara> <Liana> Lessons will continue until awesomeness improves *she folders her arms*
<Sara> folds*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps we'll be transitioning to independant studies?
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's taint is crushed and momentarily is squashed, iced over with Miyuki, Liana, Vyvy and other's powers, and they can see momentarily a reality flash as they are swallowed. Then it begins to close
<DeathStar> <Shion> ... *she watches them go, her ears droop*
<DeathStar> <Shion> I'll catch up soon
<Nyaomi> * The white fox hops onto her shoulder.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pats Shion on the other shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion gives Simon a faint smile as it closes. Around them, they would notice that the spirit realm seems less foggy, almost like a real land
<DeathStar> 6* Though it still seems somewhat barren, though who knows it may change
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...then we must complete her mission to unify the world."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I can see a bit more now
<DeathStar> *Gwen lifts Selena, letting her look around*
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> ..." She eyes the effect on the world and rubs her head, uttering very quietly 'Damn it.'
<DeathStar> *Shiva looks at Vyvy* We spirits can fix that. Don't worry
<Xanatos> <Simon> So...they were the source of the taint.
<Sara> * Ellie sits, looking around quietly with a frown
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy gives a weak smile. "That's not it..."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Who knows. I am guessing that they corrupted the spirits and we took it away with mother
<DeathStar> *shion walks it back through the gate and blinks, where the children are starting to look more healthy*
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> The source of the corruption is likely the entities in this world that 'should not be'
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy And... I am one of those.
<DeathStar> <Shion> You mean like the keep threatening the spirits?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. Well we'll help you with that if it becomes a problem. 6* He turns to move after Shion.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph sulks at Vyvy on Ellie
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> If Miyuki and a large quantity of the abberant elements leaving meant balance returning...
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> Then it's likely to improve if more of them return, right? That includes you, Lady Shion. And your mother there on your shoulder. Myself, perhaps Kalam if she truly is from afar.
<DeathStar> <Shion> There is a fallace there
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> I hope so
<Sara> <Liana> Miyuki... you helped me through hard times, and you were my friend. You will be missed. *she says, looking toward where the tear had closed*
<Nyaomi> * She smiles, having just begun a family, after all.
<DeathStar> *Gwen hugs Eliana*
<DeathStar> <Shion> I mean I don't put much stock on gods and creating stuff with magic shards
<DeathStar> <Shion> But if this world was made by a god from my side
<DeathStar> <Shion> Then we can't really affect it inversely
<Xanatos> <Simon> Of before I forget, are we going to see if that drink can seperate Gwen and Qui?
<Xanatos> (Oh*)
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yeah. We need to talk to these stuck up leaders don't we
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, we have work to do."
<DeathStar> *liana
<Nyaomi> <Vyvy> ... Depression aside, pleased to meet you, Shiva!
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy hugs them both to her, forcing a smile.
<DeathStar> *Shiva beams*

<DeathStar> <Shion> So who wants to rescue hostages?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I am in."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods, already scoping a way down the cliffside.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> I will store the hostages safely in my tails like they weremy cubs
<Sara> * Liana nods, after instructing Celsius to stay with the group that will help her sister
<DeathStar> <Shion> Okay, there's 9 of them I think, in a circle. We just need to find a way to sneak around, or teleport them around
<Xanatos> <Simon> I could create a mist to mask our path, but it would draw attention.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Well, it might, I should say.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "My string magic would let me break up pursuit."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Lets try. Go for it Simon
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and focuses on his connection to create his Haze[Attack] spell, it would start to creep in slowly and swell to be a large cloud that is hard to see through, he places it between the magi and the hostages, covering the circle as best he can.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances at the others for the go signal*
<DeathStar> 6* It seems he's so strong, his cloud swooshes
<Sara> <Liana> Well, they're bound to notice that... *she draws her sword and readies for the high chance of some combat*
<DeathStar> 6* as in, the cloud makes the entire place so hard to see for everyone
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Let's move."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Uh...it's never been that large before. 6* He looks embarassed.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Power enhancement, remember?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to clear them a path as best he can, climbing down to get to the hostages.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *draws her sword and then creeps forward toward the hostages*
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy so far is confused, for few moments
<DeathStar> 6* You got this long to grab the enemy
<DeathStar> er hostages

<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Liana, go!"

<Xanatos> (If possible)

<Sara> * Liana does as ordered, nodding

<DeathStar> 6* Sylph floats over to Ellie to get ready
<Sara> * Ellie nods, her bow in hand and ready to use if needed as well. "Looks like this is going to be complicated..."
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius joins them
<Sara> <Ellie> So what do you make of it? Rush ahead full bear?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I could try to fly across the entire space...
<DeathStar> *She eyes the location. Not many people are eyeing the crystal, thinking the twin is defenseless*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> go ahead, shoot me
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I'll fly as best I can
<Sara> * Ellie glances to see if there's any footing along the walls, but nods, readying an arrow and empowering it with Wind Spirits -- her Gale Shot type of arrow
<DeathStar> 6* Due to her being so strong now, it's like a blur, and Sylph is at the crystal, slamming against it, holding on, sliding down to the figure
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph thumbs up, letting Vyvy warp Celsius. Celsius lands. to her, and her twin sees, jerking
* Nyaomi has joined #DualSession157Ice
<DeathStar> <Twin> ... y-you idiot. You weren't suppose to come back...if they get both of us....
<DeathStar> <Celsius> It okay, Vyvy just warped me to you
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius tries to break her free, but fines the ice crystal impervious like before
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Uh of
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius coughs, gagging, flailing
<Sara> * Ellie jerks tries to get over to them somehow
<Sara> jerks and*
<DeathStar> *Ellie gets up to the crystal right as the enemy is searching*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hi Ellie, this is my sister
<DeathStar> <Twin> A summoner?
<Sara> * Ellie glances, trying to figure out if they can be freed
<DeathStar> 6* Ellie would notice that a good smash that is not Celsius could break the twin's bounds, since they need to move her around*
<Sara> * Ellie reluctantly uses her Flame Wrap, calling on the power of lesser inferno spirits to wreathe her body in a searing whirlwind, and with that, uses her hands to try to smash them free (Also, burn upon touching or meleeing Ellie for 5 Turns+)
<DeathStar> 6* The Twin is broken free and Celsius catches her, then eyes the angry Magi chanting*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Latching onto Vyvy. hold on
<Nyaomi> * Vyvy whispers where she is. "Lady of azure wind and indigo night, come to me..." Being slow, hoping she'll know to grab Ellie
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph grabs onto Ellie and the two, then warps
* Xanatos has left #DualSession157Ice
