<Seraphna> * Jennifer stands nearby, shaking a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Chad, wondering why Jennifer always manages to appear in these scenes.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer is a good student of course!
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It seems your daughter was taken by a Dark One from class.
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair. 1"Any idea where to?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No.
* Chad`Winters rubs his face. 1"Son of a bitch."

<DeathStar> <Paladin> We're looking into the matter, Mr. Winters. We'll find out what happened.

<DeathStar> 6* No response.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear again. 1"Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin goes back to interrogating a teacher he has with him

<DeathStar> 6* Aya's a bloodied mess, and unconscious
<Xanatos> * Drasek lays there, but hey at least he's not shaking anymore.
<Seraphna> * Dawn holds her, looking worried.

<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME BACKWARDS-
<DeathStar> Location: High School
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters stands around, when his comm beeps.
* Chad`Winters reaches up, hitting his ear. 1"Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander speaks. "I understand you wanted to speak to me."
<Chad`Winters> <C> A Dark One's taken my daugher and I need help finding her.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And why would I aid you?
<Chad`Winters> <C> Because it means you'll have something to use against me.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I see. So I should aid the man who has threatened my life.
<Chad`Winters> <C> My daughter's lifes more important to me than my pride Alexander.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And how do I know you'll honor anything?
<Chad`Winters> <C> Because it involves my daughter.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Hm. Hold on
* Chad`Winters stares ahead at the school, a solemn look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> They're at the mountain shrine where you all fought for the gift. Inform the General so he can have his team readied.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Thanks. 6He lowers his hand and looks over at the General. 1"I found her and the rest of the team."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances over
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr coughs, opening her eyes finally.
<Seraphna> "You're awake... finally."
* Seraphna smiles, blood streaked on her face.
<Seraphna> "Aya's alive, mostly."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus walks over with a medical kit, examining Angela. He begins to work on her body, which has holes everywhere
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin surveys the scene.
* Chad`Winters holds Aya tightly. He glances around then begins moving towards Caduceus.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Thank God..
* Seraphna lets the doctor do his work.
<Xanatos> * Theron peers about, just looking for more potential enemies.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans against the shuttle. 1"Apparently we scared them into retreat Theron."
<Seraphna> "We got lucky."
<Xanatos> <Theron> It would appear so.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands to the side, surverying.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus examines her body carefully, then gives her a shot.
<Xanatos> * Marcus glances down at Zephyr. "Lucky because we showed up."
* Seraphna looks to Cad. "Am I going to make it Doc?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Apparantly.
<Seraphna> "Well that's better then probably."
<Chad`Winters> Caduceus. 6He stops beside him. His voice soft compared to his neutral tone.
<Seraphna> "Mmm, Chad needs you."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus glances at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits up, glancing over Aya worriedly.
* Seraphna lays sits back, looking at Aya as well.
<Chad`Winters> Check her over for me, please. 6He kneels down, setting her down gently on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes the girl, who's torn and bloodied, and looks pale. He begins to give her treatment with shots, and examines her.
<Seraphna> "I shoulda kept better watch..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kneels beside Aya, looking down at her. "... ... I'm so sorry."
<Chad`Winters> It's fine. 6He reaches into his tact belt and pulls out a tightly folded cloth. He looks at Zephyr and just squeezes her shoulder.
<Seraphna> "You... you did your best Zeph."
<Chad`Winters> Can someone fill me in?
<Seraphna> "Sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus finishes giving her shots, and applies bandages.
<Seraphna> "Legion took Megumi, so Drasek, Zephyr, Erevis and myself all went after him."
<Seraphna> "When we showed up Ere got seperated, and Asmodaeus showed up with Aya as a hostage."
* Chad`Winters leans forward and slides the cloth under Aya, making a makeshift robe for her.
<Seraphna> "We tried to free her, Asmo tried to kill her, it looked like he did too."
<Xanatos> * Drasek lays there face first on the ground. All KOed and such.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> We should get her, and the other wounded, back to the base for better treatment.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods.
<Seraphna> "That's when Zephyr here blasted Asmo with everything she had. Turns out Aya here used Meg's crystal technique."
<Chad`Winters> Agreed. 6He kneels down and lifts her back up again.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What about Erevis and Megumi?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Too bad for them
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus motions Angela into the shuttle
* Seraphna gets up and walks into the shuttle slowly, groaning in pain.
<Chad`Winters> We don't know where they went too. 6He nods to Angela.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Paladin? *he looks to him for his orders*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rises, frowning.
<Chad`Winters> Where's Darien?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We'll head back for now. See if we can scan anything. Someone grab that man. 6* He motions to Drasek
<Seraphna> "Ere's place."
<Seraphna> "I set him up with first aid on the couch."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. 6He moves over to pick up Drasek
<Xanatos> * Theron glances up and motions at Dias to come and help him, stepping over to lift him up.
* Seraphna looks at Chad, then at Dawn for a moment, then yawns and looks away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts and grabs him with his right hand, lifting him up. He moves with Theron to bring him back onto the shuttle
<Xanatos> * Marcus frowns and moves to get on the ramp.
<Xanatos> * Theron assists Dias is laying Drasek down in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. Apparantly she's remaining behind
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves up onto the shuttle
* Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr. 1"You want to stay, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus gets into the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin climbs the shuttle
<Chad`Winters> Alright. I'll stay with you than, I have some words for Asmodeus now. 6He moves to the shuttle with Aya.
<Seraphna> "Hey then I'll..."
* Seraphna goes to move, and groans again.
<Seraphna> "...I'll just head on abck for treatment."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Xanatos> * Marcus presses Angela down in the seat. "Stay still." He glances to Paladin. "I want to help them."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No.
* Kit[AwaySigh] is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
* Seraphna sighs and looks up at Marcus. "Fine..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What do you mean no? I could help them. Prevent someone from dying.
* Chad`Winters moves up the ramp and sets AYa down gently. He slides something into her hand. 1"Tell her I'll be there when she wakes up."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> For now, we're going to get the wounded back, and scan the area. Now sit.
<Seraphna> "Alright Chad."
<Seraphna> "Be careful."
<Xanatos> * Marcus grits his teeth, and clenches his fist.
* Chad`Winters nods to Angela and move sback down the ramp, unholstering Ebony and his mod. gun. He moves over to Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back at the shrine, frowning, unsure of how to find the others, or if it's even possible
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes the happenings, then turns, walking to his own craft wincing from numerous wounds and such.
<DeathStar> 6* DAwn's c raft is no more
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, as Legion gathers energy into both hands
* Xanatos frowns. "It's alright Erevis. I've died once before. It's not so bad."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are lying. 6* She states to Legion.
* Megumi releases her hand from her head, shaking. 1"...Take Xanatos. I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, still keeping her hands behind her, looks at him. "The Vapaads may have removed memories of Xanatos Durran from my memory, but my life with Megumi Zhenmei is not a lie. You desire for her death is proof of this."
<DeathStar> 6* Legion eyes her, his eyes flaring once.
* Megumi peers down, wide-eyed. She was just about to say if everything was a lie anyway...
* Xanatos visibly sighs, "Dude, way to get my fucking hopes up."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, since you desire her death, I will not allow you to strike her down. Instead, I shall remove her from your aim. 6* She lifts her hands, firing a surge of hyperspace into the black vines around Megumi, impacting with such force that it rips her from the ceiling, sending her flying across the room. The pain is great, agony even, but she's alive
<DeathStar> 6* Legion snarls. "Damn you, Erevis."
* Xanatos watches with a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pants, her hands smoking, her flesh red and raw. Legion aims his hands at Erevis, firing and striking her, sending her flying into the darkness the opposite way. He blurs out of sight, going after her.
<Xanatos> Yeah. I'll just hang around...
<DeathStar> 6* And hang around he does.
<Xanatos> Yep...this sure is fun...anyday now Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Something crawls along Xan's face.
* Xanatos pauses and jerks. "Oh get it off. Get it off!" He shakes his head.
* Megumi groans and pushes against the ground, shaking more from being fried than from being tired.
<DeathStar> 6* The black vines fall off Megumi, smoking
<DeathStar> 6* The creature crawls around Xan's nostrils.
* Megumi gets up and wobbles, lifting her head to gaze toward Xanatos.
* Xanatos blows air out of his nose, trying to snot it out.
* Megumi peers at her hand, clenching it a few times to see if she's healed up any in all this time and can actually do something.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems her powers are back.
* Megumi gazes up coldly at Xanatos. 1"Well, now that that's settled."
<Xanatos> Will you get me the fuck down!? I have something crawling on me!
* Megumi swipes her hand, forming the narrowest wave she can, even without the scythe, and attempts to cleave the little creature without touching Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature dies.
* Megumi holds out her hands and begins forming the two-bladed zanbato. 1"Don't move."
<Xanatos> Like I would risk me dying.
<Megumi> True enough.
* Megumi crouches, then springs, striking twice in a quick double movement, hands, then feet, with less space to spare than comfortable.
<DeathStar> 6* The vines release our hapless hero
<Xanatos> Shiiiit. *he falls to the ground on his face, he groans*
* Megumi leaves Xanatos immediately, turning and running to help Erevis-- though dragging the sword, still not feeling her best.
<DeathStar> 6* As Megumi turns, something enters her back, stabbing her in the kidney.
* Megumi cries loudly and dropps immediately to her knees.
<DeathStar> 6* The object is ripped out
* Megumi brings her foot up to steady herself, turning to gaze..
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos stands there, his metal hand sporting a tendril, his eyes looking blank, unnatural.
<Megumi> G-gh...! Xanatos..?!
* Xanatos jerks his hand forward to stab the tendril for her shoulder.
* Megumi takes another jab to the shoulder since she's staring blankly, crying again. 1"..S-stop!"
* Xanatos doesn't show any type of understanding, the blank eyes seemingly staring through her. He rips the tendril back out and jerks to kick her in the face.
* Megumi brings her hands up to block it, but not weighing much, falls backwards, dropping the sword, which shatters without her focus.
* Xanatos steps forward to stomp her gut.
* Megumi brings her hand up and slams her palm into his calf, knocking the attack away and shifting his balance off. 1"Quit it! ...Even if.. I can't fight with you!"
* Xanatos stumbles back, regaining himself.
<Megumi> Knock it off! Erevis... Sh-she doesn't want this..
* Xanatos still shows no understanding he moves forward again, slamming the tendril down for her thigh now.
* Megumi throws both her hands out and releases a burst, emitting a shockwave effect. 1Stop it!"
* Xanatos is knocked back, shifting his body to land on his legs, sliding along.
* Xanatos straitens up and raises his hand, 3 tendrils launch out from it and soar towards Megumi.
* Megumi springs forward and charges Xanatos, leaping right through the center of them. 1"Enough already!"
* Xanatos head tilts slightly and a fourth tendril surges forward, apparently unlike the Dark Ones, he can keep adding more. It moves straight for her chest.
* Megumi brings her hand up and quickly forms the black-borne sphere, since she can't very well change directions mid-air.
* Xanatos just watches his tendril strike her, watching to see just what the sphere is for.
* Xanatos steps to the side, since his tendril was sploded or whatever from the sphere, shifting to avoid Megumi, get some distance.
* Megumi eats through it, provided no extraneous weirdness, she lands and grabs the floor even with her hands, immediately shifting to spring for him again.
* Xanatos pulls his hand out wife and a group of tendrils twist around themselves, he jerks and aims to slam the tendril club into her side, to knock her out of the air.
* Megumi grunts into a bit of a snarling sound as she's struck and bounces off the ground, flipping onto her feet and just lunging for him from below. 1"...Wake up, damn it!"
* Xanatos shifts to strike at her again with the tendril club.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion appears, holding Erevis by the throat. "See? See how my clone battles your lover, Erevis?" 6* Erevis strains, blood running down her nose and lip.
* Megumi reaches up and strikes his wrist, knocking the power out of the strike, but her ears twitch and gazes back, distracted as it will, by the sigh of Erevis caught and losing her nerve now that Erevis is back regardless to do what she was about to.
* Xanatos grabs her be the hair and jerks her back, aiming to stike his knee right into her spine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains. "Meg...umi..." 6* Legion tightens his grip, and Erevis strains
* Megumi reaches out. 1"Erevi-angh!" 6She buckles back slightly, taking a rather nasty pain to the back and all.
* Xanatos pushes his arm forward, the tendrils breaking apart to wrap around Megumi, that is if she doesn't escape.
* Megumi needs at least a moment to recover after being clubbed and spine-broken. She's caught, even if she does attempt to manifest force, she needs her hands.
* Xanatos attempts to lock Megumi tight, though if she tried really really hard she could probably get her hand free.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains weakly. She places her hand at Legion's face, but he squeezes, causing her to cry out and her hand to drop.
* Megumi seems awfully docile at the moment.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Xanatos. Bring Megumi to me.
* Xanatos walks forward, the tendrils continue to squeeze to keep Megumi incopacitated while he drags her to Legion.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion waits for Megumi to be brought closer, then grabs her throat. "Release her to me. You may take Erevis. You have always desired her." 6* He throws her down at Xanatos' feet.
* Xanatos releases her, then looks down to Erevis, tendril grab her by the arms and lifts her up to Xanatos' face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him. "Xanatos. Fight this." 6* She says.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion brings Megumi closer, using his second hand to grab Megumi's hand to keep them pointed away from him.
<DeathStar> *hands
* Megumi snaps her eyes open-- violet. She opens her mouth and snarls rather viciously for her size per usual, but crystal doesn't manifest, merely a hazy aura of something not quite there.
<DeathStar> <Legion> Well, it appears I failed to get your beloved to let me kill you, but I will end your love, you miserible creature.
<DeathStar> *Life
* Xanatos stares at Erevis with blank eyes. He has yet to say a word. The tendrils pull her in to kiss him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a mrrmph sound. She bites his tongue.
* Megumi just begins to fight violently, having lost her mind, instead of being a crystal manifest, she's apparently become a force just like she taught herself with her normal abilities-- swiping her hands to use the extended claws repeatedly on Legion's arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion keeps her hands pointed away
* Xanatos seems to make a visible expression as if it actually hurt. More tendrils begins to wrap around her, squeezing. "Give up." He finally says, though his voice it a bit deeper, more...hollow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... please...stop this.....
<DeathStar> 6* Legion begins to unleash his own fire into his hands, aiming to burn Megumi
* Megumi growls and twists her body itself, a tail that's not quit visibly lanking up to slap Legion in the face. Considering it's not a bladed tail or anything, pretty much just insult. Seems the heat alone isn't bothering her.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion pauses as he's slapped
<DeathStar> 6* Legion pile drives her face into the ground, letting go briefly to bring his fist back to punch at his head
<DeathStar> *her
<Xanatos> No. *he says simply, kissing Erevis' cheek* You are my reward.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks as best as he can toward Megumi, then at Xanatos. "Allow me to touch you." 6* She whispers, pleadingly.
* Megumi makes no sound as she's smashed into the ground, only rising immediately, then gets smashed again and rises, Legion's strength enough to make her bleed from her forehead even with the berserk manifest in place. The seeping red mixes in with the immaterial creating an eery haze making the upper parts of the tiger visible.
<Xanatos> I already get to touch whatever I desire. *he states simply*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I desire to touch you as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him, keeping her eyes locked onto his
<DeathStar> 6* Legion forms a dark matter ball, and tries to push it into Megumi's face
* Xanatos 's blank eyes peer at her, as if he is evaluating. "No. You will not trick me." He finally says.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, trembling some what
* Xanatos tilts his head, arching his brow. "Why do you shake?"
* Megumi brings her hands up, the manifest claws guarding her. They dissolve of course beneath that sort of technique, but much like getting closer to Erevis on the dark planet she doesn't seem to mind even as she begins to be injured herself, biding the time until she's ready to slip aslide and leap, ferally unleashing swing after swing of her arms and the claws in no particular pattern or reason. Sheer madness.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... I am afraid of you. 6* She states, eyeing him.
* Xanatos widens his eyes and then tendrils seem to quiver. "Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Legion warps from side to side to avoid most of the strikes. His aura increases and his killing intent rises.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You bind me. You hold me against my will. Do you plan do what others have done to me? 6* She asks him, her tone cold.
* Megumi doesn't seemed deterred by that, continuing to prance from warp to warp, chasing him almost as if he were prey, air as she travels becoming absurdly warm. Granted she begins bleeding from old wounds she's received as time goes by.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion appears in front of Megumi, unleashing a devastating blast for her head on, though he's open as well.
* Xanatos pulls his other hand up to his head, wincing, the tendrils releasing as he groans, stepping back. The tendrils start to whip about furiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drops. She forms a hyperspace sword, chopping off Xanatos' metal hand. She removes the sword, her hand bleeding, and touches his head, unleashing a jolt of energy into his brain, knocking him unconscious
* Xanatos slumps back onto the ground.
* Megumi crosses her hands and slashes them outward, forming an interlaced cross of thin waves from their ends, her aura bursting flame-like manifests away from herself in automatic response to Legion's proximity and attacking her. She goes flying back, most of the manifest completely destroyed on initial touch, screaming loudly with a tinge of animalistic rage.
<DeathStar> 6* Legion is either knocked back, or warped back, it happens so fast, it's hard to tell. He leans against the wall, roaring in anger, his killing intent stiffling, and finally warps away for good.
* Megumi is muffled for a few moments, then begins to drag herself back to her feet, roaring beyond her size. Once she's like that...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in front of Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi Zhenmei.
* Megumi leans up, shifting in nonsensical ways on her balance, then shrieks loudly at Erevis, eyes enraged and widened.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at her, staring at her. "You will stop this now, Megumi."
* Megumi jerks rather abrubtly, the blood-tinged aura wisping upwards and disappearing like a dying flame. Her eyes roll back and she collapses toward her side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to catch Megumi
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh, my kitten...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* And so, the team moves to the hospital to be repaired and fixed. Caduceus gives some military supplies to help expediate the process.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, his hand on his chin, glancing at Angela.
* Seraphna looks at Darien, smiling softly, a bandage voer part of her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits with Megumi, her hands bandaged. She runs her hand through the girl's hair.
<Seraphna> "It's just not a family outing without bleeding all over the place."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe you'll get a scar.
* Chad`Winters sits beside Aya, his head resting on her bed.
<Seraphna> "Maybe, but the nanites and a little surgery and it'll be invisible."
<Xanatos> * Drasek is in a bed, still unconcious, probably still blind, who knows. He's unconcious.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus does experiments on him
<DeathStar> 6* Aya opens her eyes finally.
* Seraphna sighs a bit. "Times like this make me miss my Dragoon Regneration."
* Megumi shifts a bit, but remains dozing-- at this point looking more like sleep though.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kisses the girl's cheek, standing and moving out into the hallway.
<Megumi> 6Dawn sits somewhere, avoiding Chad, brooding quietly.
<Seraphna> "I'm glad you're okay."
* Xanatos stands in the hallway, his stump of an arm wrapped up, his eyes on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos. "You should be free of his influences now, Xanatos Durran."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad
<DeathStar> <Darien> Same to you.
<Xanatos> Yeah. *he says simply, not looking up*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can live your life as you wish. ... I hope you will not leave because you feel you need to do so.
* Seraphna sits up, wincing a little in pain. "I think I overdid it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just a little.
* Chad`Winters slowly opens his eyes and looks up at Aya, a relieved look appearing on his face. 1"Aya..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the room with Aya, sighing in relief.
<Xanatos> If I had just left in the first place, this wouldn't have happened. Me being here just furthur endangers you and everyone else.
<DeathStar> <Aya> What happened...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is a lie and I do not like lies.
<Xanatos> I am a liability Erevis. *he looks up* Legion's influence just gave me a nudge. It was my own desires that caused this.
* Chad`Winters glances down, resentment appearing on his face briefly. 1"Asmodeus took you from school.
* Seraphna lays back and sighs a bit, looking over her arm, which is still burned a bit. "Dunno how the progenitors did it. This hurt."
<Megumi> 6Dawn looks up as Zephyr passes. Having not made it out of the hospital yet, he has more bandages than clothing at the moment, seeming like most of his body is scarred in some way or another aside from his face. He peers toward her curiously again, but lets it go as she enters Aya's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "I do not believe that."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. Yes. I remember now...
<DeathStar> <Darien> They didn't live in flesh.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits beside Aya, touching the girl, and they share a smile.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel arrives at the hospital, having heard about the casualties.
* Seraphna flexes her fingers, "Ere does..."
<Xanatos> Choose to believe what you will. I wanted Megumi dead. I wanted you. Legion's meddling just removed the guilt of taking and doing what I want.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr then Aya, his face growing soft.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She likes pain.
<Seraphna> "I don't..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Who does, really?
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Ariel next, tilting his head.
<Chad`Winters> I'm just glad you're safe Aya. 6He squeezes her hand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos. I cannot convince you otherwise, if your mind is made up, but what you are worried about is not the truth. Legion warped your mind from the beginning. You are free now to make your own choices.
<Seraphna> "Do I really have to answer that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please, do not make the wrong ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It was rheteroical.
* Seraphna smiles. "Yeah yeah..."
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel doesn't pay much attentio to Dawn, because she has no idea who he is, and moves towards the rooms.
<Seraphna> "Oh... the house... we'll have to relocate again won't we?"
* Xanatos peers at her with a frown. He stands there for a long while, silent. Before finally speaking. "..if." He pauses. "If you need me. Call. But don't expect to see me around, I can't deal with you and Megumi. Not anymore." He turns to walk off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe. We'll see. I think Legion won't attack right away. He got his nose clubbed.
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go, then takes a deep breath, letting it out. She sees Ariel, since she's in the hallway, and her expression is pained. "Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ironically, I hear it was Meg who clubbed it
<Megumi> 6Dawn clutches his shoulder and rises, getting a bit defensive when Ariel gets near Aya's room, but spotting Erevis and hearing the name, jerks and steps aside quickly, facing away-- perhaps embarassed.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles and hugs Chad
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches the two, smiling a bit
* Chad`Winters hugs her back, holding her tightly. 1"I'm sorry this happened to you."
* Seraphna giggles softly and groans a bit from distrubing a wound in her abs. "Never get between a cat and it's toys..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Perhaps so.
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's not your fault.
<Seraphna> "Thanks Darien."
<Zhenya> Ariel> "Erevis... is everything alright?"
<Chad`Winters> No, but I should've known this would happen eventually. I should've prepared you for something like this.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "No. I have something I must discuss with you ... privately. Perhaps I should have told you sooner. Will you..follow me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans back, a bit high on morphine. "It's okay. I feel fine."
<Chad`Winters> It's probably the drugs they have you on right now.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. I like them
<DeathStar> <Darien> For what?
<Chad`Winters> Great, you're sounding like Warren now.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods, looking concerned.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles, then looks a bit sad
<Seraphna> "Checking on me like this." *she smiles a bit*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then leads them toward the roof of the hospital. She nervously rubs her throat, where Legion's old scars remain
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, I figured someone should.
<Chad`Winters> It's alright Aya. He wouldn't want us to be sad.
<Seraphna> "You're very thoughtful."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is quite herself, pensive.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Because obviously no one else is going to check on her.
<Xanatos> * Marcus stands in Angela's doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Marcus.
* Seraphna looks up to see Marcus, she blushes a little. "Hey there."
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel follows close behind Erevis, finding a place to rest once they arrive. "...what's bothering you, Erevis?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn watches Ariel and Erevis walk off, then sighs and hangs his head, working up the nerve to visit Aya's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks out over the landscape. "In a few days, the final battle with Legion will occur."
<Xanatos> * Marcus gives a slight wave. "Look at this. Everytime I turn around, you get more and more holes in you."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "I'll go check on Aya."
<Seraphna> "Alright, see you later Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, peering up as Dawn enters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves and steps out
* Seraphna looks at Marcus. "It's the swiss cheese look, stylish no?"
<Xanatos> * Marcus steps aside so Darien can get by and then moves over to sit down. "Yeah sure." He leans back in the seat, propping his legs up on the edge of her bed. "So how are you feeling?"
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods slowly.
<Seraphna> "Drafty."
<Megumi> 6Dawn goes to enter, then sees Darien, jerks and pulls away, crossing his arms and avoiding glances.
* Seraphna cracks a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Ariel now, her hands playing with some of her hair, then cupping together. "He will die in the battle. It is my fate that I will die with him, in order to preserve the timeline."
<Xanatos> Glad to see you have your sense of humor. It's usually always the first to go.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dawn, stopping. "So. How are you doing?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn slooowly peers at Darien, then hangs his head. He straightens, then waves a hand dismissingly, as if to say he's had worse. Whether that's true or not...
<Seraphna> "Mmm... for once I didn't screw up. I think I'm improving." *she chuckles and winces*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya yawns a bit, looking a bit out of it. Zephyr peers at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmhm
<Marcus`> Cute. Really. *he gives her a slight smile, beforing looking up at the ceiling, frowning.*
* Chad`Winters stands up now himself, stroking Aya's hair gently.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel goes to say something, but stops, and shakes her head. "It... doesn't have to happen that way, Erevis..."
* Seraphna blinks a bit, tilting her head to the side to look at him. "WHat's up?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It does. There is more. In the previous time loop, I did not fight him alone. You were with me. You died as well. It is our graves everyone saw in my memories, and that is why Darien Starr was yelling at me.
<Chad`Winters> You getting tired sweety? 6He looks down at her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> A little.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits beside Dawn. "So, you going in, or not?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn rubs his head and glances away.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel pauses, looking uncertain. "...why do you say it has to be that way?"
<Chad`Winters> You're bodies exhausted from everything it's been through.
<Marcus`> Eh, just some annoying stuff on my end. No big deal. This is your day, what with fighting a whole horde of Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My fate is tied with Legion. Some facets of the timeline cannot be changed, or broken. You may be able to escape your fate, but I fear someone else will die in your stead if you do not do it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will take two people to stop Legion in the end, and I will have to be one of them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may not be the other... but I cannot say who would replace you if it is not you
<Seraphna> "I try to have my moments..." *she sighs a bit* "I'm just glad they're all safe."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods slowly. "...it requires death, to stop him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pats Dawn.
<Megumi> 6Dawn grips his hands slightly, then stands, turning toward the room.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I fear so. 6* She closes her eyes. "I tell you, because I think it is only fair you decide your fate. And, if you choose to do this, to spend your last remaining days doing what you want."
* Chad`Winters continues to gently stroke Aya's hair. 1"A wise person knows what their limit is.
<Marcus`> Well you did good, Angie. Though you got yourself screwed up, you helped protect Aya. That's pretty good. You know?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have lived with this burden for a long time, but it is also a blessing, perhaps, because I can use it to be with those I love. I did not what to deny you that
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods, and peers downwards, "...I understand."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, looking sad.
* Seraphna smiles a bit more and nods, "Yeah, I did good. Now I just gotta keep that up and get less holes in me."
<Megumi> 6Dawn marches rigidly into Aya's room with Darien's. Uh. Support?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> When I first saw you, upon coming back in time, I did not know what to say to my dearest friend. How do you say, 'Will you fight to the end with me'? It is why I have tried so hard...to give you what comforts I could...
<Marcus`> And maybe keep a prayer going that you don't run into anymore doors. *he gets a sly smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits behind
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods
* Seraphna looks around feverishly, "There's gotta be something I can throw at you..."
<Chad`Winters> I'll be right here beside you so don't worry. Ok? 6He looks down at her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Kay.
* Marcus` chuckles lightly. "You keep it up and you'll reopen one of your 20 wounds."
<Megumi> 6Dawn spots Chad, then jerks and slips quickly to a corner, observing it as if studying charts.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Dawn.
<Seraphna> "No exaggerting... only 12..."
* Seraphna pouts a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swallows, looking guilty. "I am sorry, Ariel."
* Marcus` stands up, laughing still. He leans forward and kisses her forehead. "Rest up." He turns and begins to move for the exit.
<Zhenya> Ariel> "...I..." *pauses* "...I'm not giving up yet, Erevis. Things have been different, this time... prehaps... this can be different too."
* Seraphna blushes softly. "See you soon Marcus."
* Chad`Winters glances over at Zephyr than follows her gaze, an odd look on his face briefly than it quickly shifts to a neutral look, his stance tensing up and his free hand resting against his holster.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles sadly. "Perhaps."
* Marcus` holds up a hand, then steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows. "I must return to Megumi Zhenmei. I ... wish to be with her with what little time I have."
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods slowly. "...take care, Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya opens one eye. "It's Mr. Dawn."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You, as well, Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves back inside.
* Seraphna closes her eyes and lays back, resting.
<Chad`Winters> It would appear so. 6His voice carries his slighty annoyance.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hello. 6* She says in greeting.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel takes a seat on the edge of the roof, lost in thought. This was a lot to take in, so quickly.
<Megumi> 6Dawn slowly turns, then backs into the corner, erking.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He's a quiet one.
<Chad`Winters> He's also a rude one for not knocking.
<Megumi> 6Dawn hangs his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns to Megumi, holding her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles and waves
<Megumi> Erevis...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitten.
* Chad`Winters glances back at Aya, eyeing her with a confused look.
<Megumi> 6Dawn rubs his head with one hand, giving a weak wave with the other, smiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hmms. Perhaps she should shoot this 'Dawn'.
* Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr now, his hand still resting on his modified gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in the hallway.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel gets up, quietly heading inside and down stairs. Making no effort to hide the fact she's troubled.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up at Ariel, his smile vanishing. "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis brushes back some of Megumi's hair
* Megumi stirs and sits up slowly, keeping her eyes closed. 1"...Did he win..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad. "He carried me around."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. Legion did not win.
* Megumi lies back with a relieved sigh.
<Chad`Winters> I'm more curious as to why he was there in the first place.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Angela called him, I think.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We can't get you on the comm.
<DeathStar> *couldn't
<Megumi> 6Dawn holds up a finger, then brings up his comm. One of the only surviving things of his encounter. He stares toward Zephyr and shrugs.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, something of what she said didn't make him happy.
<Megumi> 6Dawn seems to remember something and pulls out his datapad, wincing as it sparks, then sends a message to Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles down at Megumi. "You were very brave."
* Seraphna blinks a bit and grabs her datapad on her bedside, checking the messages.
<Megumi> No I wasn't...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shhh.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel looks up at Darien slowly, "No, just..." 6She trails off.
<Megumi> 6Angela receives an request... or maybe it's an invoice, for numerous military-grade weaponry and items and the detailed components making up the aircraft Dawn was using.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just?
<Megumi> 6Dawn sets the pad aside and nods.
* Seraphna taps a few keys and sets her datapad aside, smiling, the message is simple. [Take your complaints up with Chad Winters.]
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel leans against Darien, "...how prepared are you, for your future?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "As prepared as I can be, I guess. Be easier if I could interrogate Erevis."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr briefly. 1"How're you feeling?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm fine.
<Chad`Winters> Good, I'm relieved you weren't injured.
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel nods slowly, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides into the hospital bed with Megumi, even if it is a tight squeeze
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Tomorrow, if you are well enough, I would like to spend the day.
<Megumi> I... ...
* Megumi leaves an awkward pause, as if discerning something. 1"...Yes, beloved. That would be... well."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "The park. Singing. A shower. Wrestling. Yes. We should do it all."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, putting an arm around Ariel. "What's wrong?"
<Megumi> Mh. ...Not a second wasted.
<Chad`Winters> How 'bout we get some ice cream when Aya's released? 6He looks at Zephyr again
* Megumi turns to cuddle against Erevis, sighing gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Sure."
<Zhenya> Ariel> "...this whole situation is almost over with."
<Chad`Winters> Aya? 6He turns, looking back at her now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "That's.....a good thing, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is asleep
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel faces Darien, and gives him a sad smile.
<Megumi> 6Dawn studies Aya, then seems to come to a conclusion and turns to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her, more concerned now. "Not a good thing."
* Chad`Winters takes his right hand off his gun and pulls Aya's covers up slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head at Chad.
* Seraphna puts a hand gently to her head and sighs a bit. "Wreckless... Angela..."
<Zhenya> Ariel> "...do we ever have any real victor without a cost?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I guess not. 6* He runs his hand along Ariel's face. "Just promise me the cost isn't too great."
<Zhenya> 6* Ariel shakes her head, "...you know I can't do that. We all write history as we live, day by day." 6She closes her eyes, "...I'll do what I can to try to bring everyone back."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods slowly, glancing outward
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos returns home to his empty apartment, his OJ having stained the floor
<Marcus`> * Xanatos sighs, kneeling down to pick up the glass shards.
<DeathStar> 6* He can see his own pathetic reflection
* Marcus` frowns and throws the glass shards away, he eyes the stain, and shakes his head, deciding he doesn't feel like cleaning it. He turns and grabs a bottle of whiskey out of his fridge.
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
* Xanatos pulls the lid off and takes a draw, making a face. "Welcome home, Xan."
<DeathStar> 6* See the final day in minis and the epic conclusion in Episode 21: Day of Reckoning Part I
