<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Soldier unleashes a dark wave of energy at Chii, Cheryl, and Dias
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<SPoC> 6Dias throws his arms infront of him and he leaps to the side, rolling
<Megumi> 6Chii attempts to leap over it, being the nimble one and all. ...It's a wave.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws her arms up and lets it impact against her, throwing her backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Soldier unleashes a tendril at Dias and Chii as they dodge, expecting dodges.
* SPoC quickly unholsters her sniper rifle and steps down the ramp, swinging it up at the Dark Soldlider. She fires a shot at it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes, pulling out the special plasma rifle.
<Megumi> 6Chii jerks back, twisting just enough the other way, then lands and throws her hand out, sending coiled lines of her wire out, pegging the end to a tree with a kunai and dashing to the left.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot impacts a shield.
<SPoC> 6Dias hits the ground in a roll and shoves off the ground in an attempt to dodge over it
* SPoC aims above the Dark Soldier and fires a charged shot into a branch, aiming to snap it off and drop it on it
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Soldier turns toward SPoC.
<DeathStar> 6* The branch hits the shield, distracting the enemy.
<Marcus`> *Theron slides down the ramp and breaks off to the left, pulling up the special plasma rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims and fires, piercing the shield. The Dark Soldier jerks with the shots and dashes into the woods.
* SPoC dashes down the ramp, moving away to give distance
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes himself up finally and dusts mother nature off his sweatshirt
* Marcus` peers up and drops his head back.
<Myria> *comm* Now that that's over with, are you people ready to rumble?!
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's not over.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils begin to form from the many shadows of the woods, launching at every single person in the group.
<DeathStar> 6* 5 seconds to dodge.
<DeathStar> 6* 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 4
<SPoC> 6Dias drops down.
<DeathStar> 3
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up against a tree, he then presses off of it and jumps back.
<DeathStar> 2
* SPoC leaps to the side
<Megumi> 6Chii slides to a halt after covering distance to the left, then pulls her left hand crossing over the other arm, tugging the wire, she grins happily, lacing the wire with plasma and dragging it back to her, both as a weapon and a defense from tendrils.
* Marcus` groans and tries to crawl away.
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel and Setsuna and Cheryl are nailed.
<DeathStar> 6* And Chii
* Myria releases a light burst in all directions.
<DeathStar> 6* Though her defense stops any real damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rips the tendril out of her.
<DeathStar> 6* The trees are light bursted
* SPoC drops the sniper rifle and unslings her plasma rifle
<Megumi> 6Chii scoffs at the bits of tendril thudding off her, then swipes her arms, lashing coils of the wires back at the soldiers nearest her.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils that impaled Setsuna and Raquel are hit by light bursts, releasing them
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Soldier loses his cover due to Myria's assault on mother nature.
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren takes aim.
<SPoC> 6SPoC snaps the rifle up and fires two shots at the dark soldiers chest
<Marcus`> *Theron slides up to his knee and takes aim with the plasma rifle.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel falls to the ground, holding the hole in her side
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier is hit in the chest, knocked off his feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires.
<SPoC> 6Dias stands up, he glances at Cheryl. 1"You good?"
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier moves ... no more.
* Marcus` props himself up against the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hole in her side, oozing blood. "I'll live."
<Myria> NRP: And since I was reminded...
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...I...really...hate...these...shadow tendril...things.
<SPoC> <Dias> I hope so, it'd be pretty lame if you died now.
<Marcus`> *Theron aims at it as he slides forward to make sure the kill counted.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna carefully applies a field patch, so she doesn't bleed all over the place
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone alive?
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes for more enemies, then retracts her wires and checks on Cheryl, scowling.
* SPoC kneels down beside her sniper rifle and pulls the clip out, sliding it in her pouch
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *helps Setsuna apply the patch*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren switches back to his normal guns.
* Marcus` pulls himself into his feet. "Yeah...i'll make it."
<Marcus`> NRP: upto
* SPoC tosses the sniper rifle over her back, and then the plasma rifle. She pulls out her pistol.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks at Marcus, a slight frown on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, hearing sounds coming from the destroyed woods.
<DeathStar> 6* Hundreds of darklings are approaching
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back and switches back to his normal rifle. He hears the noise and pulls up his rifle, narrowing his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Myria, begin your assault on the ship. Everyone else, in the shuttle.
* SPoC nods and moves back up the ramp
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> nods and helps Setsuna into the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the little buggers, then moves inside.
<Megumi> 6Chii whips out her normal pistols and clicks on the burstfire, moving for the shuttle ramp, but firing on any that come within sight.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna heads back with Cass' help
* Marcus` uses the shuttle for help to get up the ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps back inside.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns, and moves into the shuttle
<Ariel> 6* Raquel limps messily towards the shuttle.
<Marcus`> *Theron backs up onto the shuttle, keeping his aim on the darkling mass.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus helps Raquel in, applying medical kits.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions Dias to take the controls.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods and quickly moves to the controls, powering it up and lifting it off the ground
<Myria> *comm* Alright! *her gear rises into the air and then morphs into cruising mode, taking off at high velocity toward the Tsiv/Dark One cruiser*
<SPoC> <Dias> We all in?
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings skitter about, launching tendrils at the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims and fires at tendrils.
<Marcus`> *Theron fires at the tendrils as well.
<Megumi> 6Chii as well, at a much higher firing rate, changing clips in alternating motions.
<SPoC> 6Dias takes that as a yes and brings the shuttle up
<Megumi> <Chii> It's much more fun when I can fire at will.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the ramp close button.
<SPoC> 6Dias brings them above the trees
<Megumi> 6Chii backs off and holsters the guns, eyeing Warren. 1"Next objective?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh Battlecruiser lurks in the sky.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We wait for Myria to punch a hole in the shields, then we land in the ship's hanger.
<SPoC> <Dias> Anyone want to get a picture of this ship so we can show PAX?
<Marcus`> *Theron raises up his rifle, moving up to sit in the co-pilot's chair, probably because he wants to watch Myria.
* Myria brings her gear around sharply, pulsed beams raking at the cruiser's flank.
<DeathStar> 6* The beams hit the shields, absorbed easily. The battlecruiser begins to open fire back at Myria, in none other than the opposite game!
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down
* Marcus` sits back in a chair, resting his head back.

<Myria> rlrllrdurl
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Six shots hit Myria's gear, damaging shields to 60%. She's clear to fire back on the ship
<Marcus`> *Theron makes a face, his jaw tense.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches, grim.
<Megumi> <Chii> Evade much?
<DeathStar> <Warren> That thing is dangerous. She is doing her best.
* Myria spins her gear to shake off any energy residue or debris in the air as she comes back around, firing rapid energy bursts at the cruiser's flanks again followed by plasma bombs.
<SPoC> <Dias> It's all we can ask.
<DeathStar> 6* The shields, while taking her hits, are weaking as well. They appear to be at 70% themselves. They return fire now. PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Up, Down

<Myria> rllrdurldurdu
<DeathStar> 6* Myria dodges all attacks and is clear to attack
<SPoC> <Dias> Now she's on fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whistles.
<Marcus`> <Theron> She can do this.
<SPoC> She has to do this. 6She states simply
* Myria brings her gear into a hard turn, firing an intense energy beam from her gear into the side of the cruiser, spraying a blast of bioparticles with it, one of her attempts at an Atni-Dark One weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* The shields fluxate, dropping down to 30% at the hanger. The cruiser returns fire. PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Left, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Down, up, Right, Left, Down

<Myria> lrrdullrudlru
<DeathStar> 6* Myria dodges all the attacks yet again, clear for one more attack run
<Seraphna> Midnightish
<Seraphna> NRP: ...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around, and pops vicodin
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Angela. 1"...What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii talking to no one
* Myria brings her gear around again in a straight charge at the spot she hit with her anti-Dark One weapon, shifitng into another mode as she forms an enlarged version of Madara's light blade, striking like a knight in a joust.
<Megumi> <Chii> I swear. Her soul meowed.
<DeathStar> 6* The shields fluxate, and breaks at the hanger, leaving a hole in it. Warren taps his comm. "Myria. Get out of there and hide the Gear for now, in case we need it. Dias, bring us in."
<SPoC> <Dias> On it. 6He hits the boosters, heading for the ship
<Marcus`> *Theron hits the comm. "Stay safe, Myria."
<Megumi> Watch out for the lasers and all.
* Myria whips her gear back, the blade slashing against the cruiser as the gear shifts back into high-cruise mode and zips away in an evasion pattern.
<DeathStar> 6* The cruiser opens fire at both Myria, and the shuttle. They will both have to dodge the wave, Myria to escape out, and Dias to land in the hanger. PREPARE YOURSELVES.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii >_>
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left

<DeathStar> 6* Dias lands in the shuttle, skidding across it. Myria escapes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his weapons. "Get ready."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel and Xanatos and one of the civilians appear in an area that appears like a field of grass. Marbled ruins are in the distance
* Xanatos glances around, eyeing the ruins in the distance, he glances at the civilian.
<DeathStar> 6* The female civilian looks at Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Then runs for the ruins
* Ariel moves for the ruins quickly, not about to attack some civilians
* Xanatos arches a brow and just sighs, running after Ariel.
<Xanatos> This is important Ariel, we need to take her down.
<DeathStar> 6* The civilian seems to be in fairly decent shape, though not as great as Ariel or Xanatos.
* Ariel glances at Xanatos momentarily.
<Xanatos> Oh fine. I'll do the dirty work. *he pulls up his pistol and fires a stunning shot toward the civillian, since he is running he would probably hit her around the leg area.*
<DeathStar> 6* The civilian cries out and hits the ground hard, sliding along in the dirt. She tries to get her leg to work
<DeathStar> <Civilian> No. No!
<Xanatos> I'm sorry. *he says with a frown, finishing the job with a stunning shot to the chest*
<Ariel> "...I don't carry a gun."
<DeathStar> 6* The civilian is hit in the chest and falls over, still.
* Xanatos glances at Ariel. "Yeah but you're Ariel. You can do anything, right?" He continues running towards those ruins.
<DeathStar> 6* The ground swallows the civilian
<Ariel> "...funny."
<DeathStar> 6* As they arrive at the ruins, they come across a certain malmutt
* Xanatos glances over his shoulder and then looks ahead. "It was, honestly."
* Xanatos slides to a halt, eyeing Lilith. "Yeah well, I took one down, now it's your turn."
<Megumi> 6Lilith holds out her hand and sets off an EMP focused at her finger.
* Ariel just gives Lilith a weird look, and draws her crystal blade.
* Xanatos groans and steps back, holding a hand over his eye. "Motherfucking EMP."
<Megumi> 6Lilith turns her eyes off Xanatos, looking at Ariel now that she's dealt with Xanatos for the most part.
<Megumi> <Lilith> ...Pity.
* Ariel holds out her hand and sends a holy blast at Lilith.
<Megumi> 6Lilith sifts quickly to the right, then reaches through her own chest and begins pulling out her own sword, the long nodachi.
* Xanatos straitens back up and pulls his arms, well arm, behind his head, apparently he is going to enjoy this.
<Ariel> "You're in my way."
<Megumi> 6Lilith flinches, not looking very sure of herself ever since the issue of the wish being invalidated. 1"Yes. Standing before one worthy of fighting, but found wanting."
* Ariel points her sword at the inugami, "Why are you here? You know your heart isn't in this."
<Megumi> <Lilith> Yes, I would not call you incorrect, however..." 6She hefts the nodachi, lifting it over a shoulder and assuming the attack and thrust stance. 1"My spirit is not one that backs down."
<Megumi> <Lilith> ...I cannot give up so easily.
* Ariel just shakes her head, "Come, then. Let's make this quick."
<Xanatos> Oh god, get on with it. My leg and arm are rusting up over here.
<Megumi> 6Lilith nods to Ariel, not paying Xanatos even a glance. She takes a step and lunges the height and a half-width at Ariel, though with the lack of speed, it's clearly a feint strike.
* Ariel quickly moves in close. Despite intending a feint, the blade is more unwieldly than her shorter blade. She brings her blade to collide roughly with Lilith's, using the crescent hilt to prevent the asian blade from landing a mark.
<Megumi> 6Having used a thrust, Lilith continues to slide the blade forward along the countering sword, then twists it, along with her body, yanking it around. It should be unwieldy, yes, but Drake made that mistake, too. She swings it around in a full arc quicker than should be normally possible. Ariel might notice a distinct lack of air pressure, feeling cold, based at Lilith's presence.
* Ariel moves with the twist, keeping the blade held against her guard for just that extra moment she needs to bring up her hand to release a second holy blast at point blank range.
<Megumi> 6Lilith blinks before being erupted in light. She finishes her attack, the cold becoming unbearably warm as the sword's arc comes to its close. The air itself feels heavy to Ariel's side right before it should hit, and it's clear she's increased the sword's effect by far. Parrying or getting hit wouldn't be an option.
* Ariel presses forward, in her usual tactic. Within an arm's length, she couldn't properly use her sword... but then, niether could Lilith land a hit with that monster of hers. She attempts to knee the Inugami in the gut, to knock the wind out of her.
<Megumi> 6Lilith, having no qualms with holding the nodachi one-handed apparently, punches directly into Ariel's knee with a resounding crack. It's probably her own hand, though, judging by the looks of things. The sword hits the ground at a horizontal angle, cleanly cutting into it. She reaches back as if to make another attack one-handed, but tilts it, stabbing the ground vertically.
<Megumi> 6Lilith falls to her knees and leans against the nodachi, heaving-- Considering most of her clothing is burned away and the runes alone at least two-thirds of her body are hidden away in burn scars. 1"..."
* Xanatos lets out a whistle. "If you're weren't a dog-thing. You would definitely be hot right now."
* Ariel is glad she wears armour. Lilith would have to be damn strong to break bones through crystal. She brings her blade towards Lilith's throat, "...will you submit?"
<Megumi> 6Lilith peers at Xanatos. It needs fail to mention she lacks her ears or tail. Whether they were burned off or she merely lost the power to create them, who knows. She eyes Ariel emotionlessly. 1"There is no honor in pressing forward without the ability to survive."
<Megumi> <Lilith> Carry on, heaven's messenger. I am not the only one who seeks the sun.
* Ariel bows her head to Lilith, smiling slightly. "...take care. Others might not be mindful about your state."
<Xanatos> So Ariel, you're going to carry me, right?
<Megumi> <Lilith> I can handle... weaklings." 6Peers at Xanatos.
<Xanatos> Right, right, I'm weak. You can fix me, right?
* Ariel pauses, turning to look at Xanatos. "...they just couldn't ressurect you with a good leg, could they?"
<Xanatos> Just wouldn't be me if I was a complete person Ariel. *he flashes a smile*
* Ariel looks to Lilith, "...can you do anything about his leg?"
* Xanatos pauses and shakes his leg. "Oh look, the emp wore off. Let's go."
<Megumi> 6Lilith peers up at Ariel, then looks away, ashamed perhaps. Either in weakness or choice, she reverts to her malamute form.
<Xanatos> See ya, pup. *he peers ahead of where they are to see if he can determine the next spot to go too*
* Ariel pets Lilith on the shoulder, then looks around for any other landmarks.
<DeathStar> 6* The ruins extend as far as the eye can see. But only in a narrow direction. North.
* Xanatos motions North and begins to run forward.
* Ariel heads north, keeping to a pace Xanatos can manage
<Megumi> 6Lilith eyes the two, then turns and begins walking after them at a slow make.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Our favorite duo, Chad and Angela, find themselves in a field of grass with some ruins in the distance.
* SPoC is now known as Chad`Winters
* Chad`Winters glances around, clicking his tongue.
* Seraphna looks at Chad and shrugs a little. "Let's get moving as long as we have no opposition."
* Chad`Winters starts running before Seraphna can finish her sentence, his hand pulling out Ebonty
* Seraphna shakes her head and catches up to him, running with him, drawing her Samaritan.
<DeathStar> 6* As the two reach the ruins, they would see a puddle of blood coming from behind an overturned marble pillar.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he slows down slightly. He pulls out his other gun.
* Seraphna slows cautiously, readying her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Dun dun dun.
* Chad`Winters leaps forward and slides low, twisting as he passes by the pillar, his guns aimed towards the direction he came.
* Seraphna covers the opposite direction, following Chad's lead.
<DeathStar> 6* The directions are properly covered.
* Chad`Winters shifts his footing and he rises. He pivots and moves down the ruins now.
* Seraphna keeps a careful eye as she heads on with Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move on, the dead body of a civilian with their head bashed in rots away
<Chad`Winters> Tsiv. 6He notes as he moves through the ruins
<Seraphna> "Yeah, the Dark one would have stabbed."
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
<DeathStar> 6* The ruins are scattered about, in a narrow radius, northward. Pillars and monuments are toppled all over, like a Greek graveyard
<DeathStar> 6* And the hiding places an enemy can lurk behind are too numerous to count
* Seraphna keeps moving. Careful of ambush spots.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he moves down the only pathway. His pace slowed down even more now.
* Seraphna decides to stick with Chad rather then keep her distance for now.
* Seraphna moves at his pace, keeping an eye out as she walks, gun ready.
<DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh steps out, swinging an xvash for Angela's face.
* Seraphna ducks low and rolls aside.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh pushes a pillar over toward Chad.
* Seraphna fires her samaritan at the Tsiv's chest with a normal shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The shield blocks it.
* Chad`Winters eyes Seraphna rolling aside, and he tenses, leaping diagonally against another pillar
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh pulls a round object down and tosses it down between Chad and Angela. He moves off into the ruins, quickly moving out of sight
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> 6* It explodes.
* Seraphna leaps.
<DeathStar> 6* Damaging both Chad and Angela.
* Chad`Winters is sent flying, and slams against another pillar, sliding down
* Seraphna growls as she leaps a little too slow and rolls, her right bracer shorting out, singed a little, she hits a pillar and grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's body steadily heals itself, like Megumi would do
* Chad`Winters groans as he wipes his face.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh swings the xvash for Chad's chest as he wipes his face
* Seraphna takes the moment to load a blue shell into her gun.
* Chad`Winters swings up his modified gun and slams the butt end of it against the Xvash to keep it from puncutring him.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh pushes against Chad.
* Seraphna aims and fires the shell at the Tsiv from behind.
<DeathStar> 6* He shifts at the last moment so it goes for Chad
* Chad`Winters grimaces and he pushes off as the Tsiv shifts, sliding away
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh rolls to his feet.
<Seraphna> * It blows up into an EMP pulse as it hits whatever.
<DeathStar> 6* A pillar.
* Chad`Winters growls as he glances at Seraphna. He drops the damaged clip from his gun and slams a new one in
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh runs past some monuments with open doorways.
* Seraphna tosses a stun trap set at the Tsiv's feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Thankgod he ran
<DeathStar> 6* A round object lands near Sera.
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
* Seraphna leaps.
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> 6* It explodes, taking no one
<Seraphna> "Oh screw you..."
* Chad`Winters holsters the gun and slides his hand along his belt, pulling out a small orb. He turns and hurls it into the doorway the tsiv ran into
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh runs up behind Chad, swinging his xvash at Chad's back. He ran past the monument.
* Chad`Winters rolls forward and under the Xvash.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh curses in his native language
<Chad`Winters> 6A flash goes off inside the doorway.
* Seraphna draws her sword and readies herself.
* Chad`Winters flicks his wrist and a small blade slides out
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh curses more.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh swings his xvash for Chad's head.
* Seraphna rushes in and strikes at the Tsiv's side.
* Chad`Winters drops low and steps in, thrusting the blade for the Tsiv's gut
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is unable to stop both attacks and is stabbed. He hurks.
* Seraphna twists the blade to cause furhter damage and moves to stab again.
* Chad`Winters lets go of the blade and then slams his palm end it's end, sending the blade all the way in
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh dies most painfully, blood splurting out from his body as it goes limp and falls.
* Seraphna pulls out her sword and swings the blade to free it of blood, she sheathes it. She curses the Tsiv's mother in it's own language.
* Chad`Winters steps back and wipes his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* The body vanishes into the ground
<Seraphna> "Let's not waste time."
* Chad`Winters lowers his hand and eyes Seraphna, a pissed look on his face.
* Seraphna looks back at him and doesn't seem to care.
<Chad`Winters> Next time, make sure I'm not in the line of fire.
<Seraphna> "It was an EMP shot. Unless you have a pacemaker I've never heard about you were fine."
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head and moves towards the doorway now
* Seraphna moves with him.
<DeathStar> 6* It's just a tiny monument, not one they want to go in
<DeathStar> 6* The ruins still go northward.
* Chad`Winters reaches his hand in his pocket and pulls out a small orb. He tosses it in there and moves north again. An explosion erupting moments later
* Seraphna moves North as well.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Megumi find themselves in a field of flowers. The flowers would make Megumi sneeze. A lot.
* Megumi pinches her nose, wincing. 1"..Ahn.."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sees his partner, and sighs. "Man."
<Megumi> Wheh shewd weh goeh?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gazes forward at some ruins. "I think that's where we want to go." 6* He notes boredly, and walks on ahead.
* Megumi runs past him, apparently wanting to get away from the flowers.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches down before reaching the ruins, plucks a flower, and puts it over Megumi's ear. "It looks pretty on you."
<DeathStar> 6* He notes, stepping into the ruins.
* Megumi stares at Darien, at least, once inside the ruins. She stares up at the flower, unhanding her nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles at her, a lopsided grin
* Megumi touches the end of her nose and peers away. "We should hurry."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien then peers out at the various pillars and broken monuments. "Yeah. North we go." 6* He begins to move at a brisk pace.
* Megumi makes to keep up, and although quick, needs to rest from time to time.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whistles a tune as he moves, apparantly not worried about being found.
<Megumi> I wonder where the others ended up...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Somewhere else in this place.
* Megumi puffs her cheeks slightly.
<Megumi> Of course..
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hops over a pillar.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then don't ask what you know.
* Megumi distracts herself by seeing if she can make Ariel out. 1"Yeah, yeah..."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi gets nothing. Either this place, or her bond synch isn't high enough
* Megumi sighs. 1"I'm worthless. Can't even detect her."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a dark matter ball hits Darien in the chest and sends him flying backwards into a pillar. He grunts, sliding down as the pillar falls on him.
<Megumi> Erevis probably co-- Darien!
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps out into sight, holding his sword ready.
* Megumi winces slightly, studying Drake. 1"...You?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake swings his sword at Megumi, launching another small dark matter ball.
* Megumi springs her self back and to the side using all for limbs, her hand reaching to her waist. 1"...Your goal is different. I don't want to, but..."
<DeathStar> <Drake> I know. But only one person can win.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake dashes at Megumi.
* Megumi nods and draws the green sphere up, clapping her hands over it, then pulling them away, holding the chain daggers at length. She leans forward, dashing in return.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake leaps up into the air, slashing downward at Megumi in a vertical slash at her head. He also unleashes a dark vertical wave with his attack, that spreads out in a five feet of length from the sword toward her.
* Megumi throws one dagger with her hand up at Drake, rolling to the left.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake parries with his sword, landing. He swings his sword horizontally after Megumi, another wave going after her, the width only a few inches, but it's length being 5 feet.
* Megumi leaps upward, yanking one dagger back and turning, lanceting the opposite at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake shifts, moving behind a pillar now as quickly as he can manage.
* Megumi yanks the dagger back and lands, turning to aim for the opposite side of the pillar. She swings it in a horizontal arc, though, so it'll wind around the pillar.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake ducks low, rolls out from behind the pillar, and launches five dark matter balls at Megumi in a left, right, up, left, down pattern.
* Megumi pulls on the dagger that wraps around the pillar, yanking herself forward as she leaps to the right to avoid the first, blinking as multiples come. She throws the other dagger down into the ground and yanks herself abrubtly back for the ground while heading forward, and then bounces right back up, leaping over the bottom after the upward sails over.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake makes a sound, rushing in at Megumi, slashing diagonally at her with all his strength.
* Megumi lets go of the chains, dropping below them. Anchored by the pillar and ground they pull taught to form a catch against Drake's attack. As her upperbody falls, she twists her hips, one knee high, then jerking to thrust the other foot up into a backflipping kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake narrows his eyes and suddenly unleashes a dark matter that's 15 feet in diameter right there from his sword, even if though it'll impact himself as well
* Megumi winces as she finishes her kicking arc and spots the strike with little time. She sets her feet to the ground, falls back quickly to keep within an inch of the attack and throws her arms out, expelling force and focus in an outward manner, her best defense.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pushes the pillar off of him, coughing
<DeathStar> 6* However, after the attack, Drake is nowhere to be seen, having been thrown away.
* Megumi coughs a bunch of times, lying on the ground amidst her weapon's chain links.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien winces, his arms not working quite right after that one
<DeathStar> <Darien> You alive?
<Megumi> <Megumi> It hurts.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Means you're alive.
<Megumi> 6Megumi sits up on her elbows. 1"...The flower's okay."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, good.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes and moves over, grabbing her arm and pulling her up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets move.
<Megumi> He's not done.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Even if he lived after taking a hit like that to the face, he's not going to be coming after us any time soon. Lets go
<Megumi> ...
* Megumi gazes around a moment, but doesn't resist being let.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls her along. He's the goddamn Darien
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would find himself in a field of flowers. Nice smelling flowers.
* Xanatos is now known as Drasek`
* Drasek` glances about. "Oh lovely."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swings her staff for Drasek's face.
* Drasek` holds up both hands to allow the staff to impact into his forearms, a metal dings sounds out. "Thought you'd be here, Revi. Been a while, eh? No, 'Hey Drasek, how've you been?'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She yanks the staff back, and swings it low for his legs.
* Drasek` does a backhand-spring back away from Erevis, over the staff and gives her a smile. "You're all business. So serious. It's bad for the pours, luv."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis murders some flowers instead, throwing petals about.
<DeathStar> 6* She straightens up, spinning the staff in her hands.
<Drasek`> Really, you're not even going to speak? Well quite frankly i'm hurt. I thought we were old pals?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot let you make your wish.
<Drasek`> Oh well if you say so. *he shrugs* I give up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him.
<Drasek`> What? Wanted a fight? Fine, but let it be shown that you're the git that wanted to fight. *he pulls his hands up into a loose stance*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you give up your rights to the wish?
<Drasek`> You know I can't. No matter how much I think your wish may be a good one. Sorry, Revi. This is just how it has to be.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your wish is fundamentally wrong. The staff is murder. There are other ways to accomplish your goal.
<Drasek`> Oh? Then please elaborate, tell me how I can accomplish my task, how can I bring back the progenitors?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Begin anew, Drasek. You do not even have anything in common with them.
<Drasek`> Of course, begin anew. Why didn't I think of that. Oh that's right, how'm I supposed to begin anew when I don't have anyone to begin with? You and I both know that your naughty bits are taken. I mean, two people? Revi you make me blush.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You cannot find a human to settle down with, Drasek?
<Drasek`> That just wouldn't be good enough. No, it would not be pure.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are no longer pure. Nor am I.
* Drasek` laughs slightly. "Oh this little virus is quite the pain, but all within time, i'll be rid of it, and i'll have revived the progenitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs and looks sad.
<Drasek`> I may be different, completely unlike the Progenitor's. But i've had one task this entire time, and i'll be damned if I just give up on it. I won't fail.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes. "Very well. I am sorry, Drasek."
<Drasek`> Sorry? Well that's different.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I understand your dedication. I have always understood it. 6* She opens her eyes. "However, you will not succeed. And I cannot change your mind. So we must fight. And even if I beat you, you will not change your goals. So I must kill you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds out her hand, forming a hyperspace sword, even though it burns her flesh in her left hand.
* Drasek` tilts his head and lets out a whistle. "Seems we've learned a thing or two."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves in at Drasek, swinging her sword like Ariel would, having learned from her. She moves in a clean sweep for his neck, moving to remove his head.
* Drasek` moves his body along the path of the sword, tilting his head and lowering himself so that is narrowly moves past him, he pulls his left hand forward and sends a punch up for Erevis' side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces, but the tactical suit absorbs most of the damage. She shifts her swing downward at his arm.
* Drasek` jerks his hand back quickly after the hit, using the recoil of striking Erevis to help speed that process, he moves enough so that the blade would miss, if not nick him. He jerks his right hand around to punch across her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' head snaps to the side, and blood runs down her lip. She aims with her right hand for his chest and unleashes a hyperspace blast.
* Drasek` widens his eyes and pulls up his left hand to shoot off his own blast to cancel out the two, though the explosions of the two would knock him back, his feet sliding along the ground, killing precious flowers.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is thrown back, sliding along. Her red hair is slowly losing ground to the white streak that grows, especially with the sword in her hand, which burns away flesh right to bone
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises to her feet quickly and rushes at Drasek, swinging at him as he's on the ground.
* Drasek` rolls to the side, slamming both hands together to send a double hyperspace beam for her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the side, knocked backwards and along the ground. The suit sizzles, but protected her from death. She groans in pain, dazed
* Retrieving #Erevis modes...
* Drasek` breathes heavily, despite having no organs. He straitens up and moves closer to her, his right hand aimed at her, his left wipiing away the 'sweat?' that is apparently forming on his forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly shifts, stabbing her sword into his hand.
* Drasek` widens his eyes and looks down. "...oh bugger." He jerks his hand back, stumbling, holding it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets to her feet. She sways a bit, and swings her sword again for his chest in a horizontal slash.
* Drasek` jumps back, the slash hitting him slightly, melting away his suit and burning his chest. "Bloody hell." He curses.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves for a kill slash - the throat again. She moves as gracefully as she can, not withstanding the pain she's in.
* Drasek` looks up and widens his eyes, he's got nowhere to go and no time to dodge. "Right, I give up my wish. I surrender." He calls out.
<DeathStar> 6* The ground swallows him up and her slash hits air. Erevis stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cuts off the sword, eyeing her left hand, which is mostly bone now where the sword was at. In the distance, she stumbles toward the ruins, where she spots Xanatos and Ariel, trekking along.
* Drasek` is now known as Xanatos
<Xanatos> Yoooo! *he calls out, waving his hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes them, and fall/leans against a pillar.
* Xanatos widens his eyes and rushes towards her.
* Xanatos slides up to her. "Hey, you ok?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos...6* She nods to him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am..alive..
* Ariel hurries over, "..what happened?"
<Megumi> 6A very big dog follows along at a lumbering pace behind Ariel, limping.
<Xanatos> ...obviously not very much. *he peers at her* It's alright, Ariel's here. She can use some of her healing mojo on you.
<Ariel> "...no. No I can't."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have...managed to make Drasek...retreat from the game.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the two of them seriously. "You should proceed and win the gift."
* Xanatos frowns when he glances at Ariel. "No, I should stay, make sure no one comes and hurts you when you're weakened." He looks back to Erevis.
<Megumi> 6The rune-covered malamute finally arrives and sits, staring at erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "Ariel may need assisstance in attaining the gift."
* Ariel looks back at the malamute, "Will you watch her?"
<Xanatos> You kidding, it's Ariel. Look at her. All that skill.
<Megumi> 6Lilith gazes toward Ariel, then Erevis. Her head bows.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to keep pain off her face, but it's hard. She finally just sits.
<Ariel> "If you're in trouble, retreat."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, an xvash swings out for Ariel's back, since she's the only real threat left. Erevis' head snaps up. "Ariel!"
<Megumi> 6Lilith turns and snarls loudly.
* Ariel drops hearing Erevis' voice, bringing her sword around
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh curses, and drops a round object, leaping away from them all.
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
* Xanatos picks up Erevis and dives.
<Megumi> 6Lilith leaps away on fours.
<DeathStar> 1
* Ariel picks up the object and throws it after
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is blown away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cries out
<Megumi> 6Lilith tilts her head at Ariel and gives a curious rowl.
<Ariel> "...I hate those things."
<Megumi> 6Lilith shivers.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh lands in a smoking mess.
* Xanatos shifted to take the fall but it would seem Erevis is in more pain than he realized he frowns and props her up against a stone. "Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is...okay...
<Xanatos> You rest up, don't be a hero. Just retreat if things go badly. Alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, cupping her left hand in her lap.
<Megumi> 6Lilith moves to put her back to the pillar Erevis rests again and sits.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh sinks into the grond
* Xanatos kisses her on the forehead and stands up, pointing to Lilith. "Protect her with your life." He then nods to Ariel and begins to move north again.
* Ariel looks to Lilith and Erevis, then heads after Xanatos. She tries to estimate how many opponents are left to face as she walks.
* Myria has left #Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel has seen one civilian go down, beaten Lilith, beaten a Tsivrixsh, and Erevis one Progenitor.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Chad and Angela travel onward!
* Seraphna keeps pace with Chad.
* Chad`Winters jogs ahead, his pace not as fast as it was before being blown up.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, they can see a giant monument, that looks like a palace. Though it could be a few miles, since it's so big
Session Close: Thu Mar 20 00:00:00 2008

Session Start: Thu Mar 20 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #Erevis
* Seraphna notes it with joy and keeps moving onward.
<DeathStar> 6* An energy sword hums to life and Katrina steps out in front of the two.
* Chad`Winters slides to a stop. He studies Katrina
* Seraphna comes to a stop and readies herself again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
<Seraphna> "Kat... save it for when we get closer, there's plenty of others to fight."
<Chad`Winters> Go on ahead. 6He holsteres Ebony. And slides his his hand to his waist, pulling out a hilt.
<Seraphna> "Alright."
* Seraphna makes her way around Kat slowly, on her guard.
<DeathStar> 6 Katrina watches her, and suddenly she taps something on her belt. Multiple explosives go off and a pillar lands on Sera, pinning her
* Seraphna cries out and groans, "Goddamnit!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Chad, then runs for the palace.
* Chad`Winters glances over as the explosions go off. 1"Nice." He makes a mad dash after Kat now.
<Seraphna> "Hey! What about me!"
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Megumi arrive at Erevis and Lilith
<Megumi> Erevis!
* Megumi comes running up and comes to a halt, panting. Lilith begins growling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi.... 6* Erevis gives her a faint smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes them, then rushes onward.
<Megumi> 6Lilith gazes to Erevis, then stops growling, yawning.
* Megumi glances toward Darien, troubled. 1"Why are you sitting?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am too weak to continue. Please. Proceed. 6* She hides her hand
<Megumi> Who could you have fought that would have ...
* Megumi pauses, and twitches slightly.
<Megumi> ...Is he?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Out of the game.
* Megumi smiles weakly. "1...I see. Ariel is ahead, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
* Megumi hangs her head and gets to her feet. 1"Always last."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake suddenly dashes past them all, rushing ahead at inhuman speeds.
* Megumi turns her head quickly, peering. 1"...Damn. I have to go."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed.
* Megumi gets up and goes to sprint-- "1...Do take care of yourself. Try not to hurt yourself so much. That white gives it away." 6She then does sprint.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches them go, then closes her eyes. "......soon it will be at an end."
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
