Death Star, learning that the Aquarius is about to arrive home, seems overjoyed - until he accidently begins to drain the Motenk lifeforce from Slasher. He runs away, right as the Alt Unit arrives. They begin to try to figure out why Cheryl's room has been wrecked when they discover some evidence of her doing it herself, then hurrying away after Death Star. But, to make matters worse, a reality-altering pillar appears in the middle of the city - and only one person has the Prime Reality powers to manage that: Death Star.
Session 202: Queen of Chaos
The group enters the new reality dimension in order
to find out, but they find a strange world where normal rules of reality no
longer apply. And at the center of it is the Hunter Station that was used in the
Year Long War. As the group attempts to discover what is going on, they find
Death Star, who tells them that Ariel asked for this place. Of course, Ariel
turns out to be Cheryl - who seems to have splintered off mentally because of
some dark obsession. And if Death Star doesn't stop using the TPR powers, he's
going to end up dead. Realizing they have no choice, the group decides to fight
Cheryl - and things look up when Snipe, Dias, the real Ariel, and Colephantus
show up.
Session 203: Reunited
Cheryl has control of a new reality and she's stolen the
TPR powers from Death Star in an attempt to hold onto it. Realizing they have to
stop her before everythings falls apart, the entire team - both the Alternate
Unit and Aquarius combined - will have to battle her in her godlike state. But
in fighting someone with almost unlimited power, can they even win? And can
Slasher reach out to her? Sometimes, tragedy is in the workings - because when
they take Cheryl down, she reunited with Ariel due to the damage substained,
causing both "twins" to become one again. And the feedback knocks back Death
Star - and releases the Motenk spirit inside him.
Session 204: Alter Egos
The Motenk inside Death Star seems to have reached a new
level of calm - displaying deadly intelligence now and cold, calculative
thoughts. He proposes they all walk away and go their seperate ways, but the
group isn't about to let that happen - even when Kyouki shows up from exhile and
joins "DS" once again. A fight breaks out in which it's obvious the team, weak
from the battle with Cheryl, isn't about to win this fight. So, the new members
- including Kio and Nicolai - force the group to reach a compromise - join the
Motenk DS in taking down the Alliance so that they can then attack the Motenk
forces that are gathering.
Session 206: Seraphna Redux
Snipe, Hotaru, Dias, Slasher, Katrina, and
Colephantus break out of the Alliance jail and proceed to attack the station,
searching for Seraphna, while Kio, Phirax, and Terra wage their own little
battle against the Alliance forces. As both teams work their way through the
station, they finally find the office of Seraphna, where a giant garden is
located. The crazy Lunarian decides to deal with them herself and brings out a
dragon gear to attack them. Ariel, arriving on the scene late, tries to talk her
sister down, but it's obvious that Seraphna is out for blood. As the group
attempts to take down the gear, Kio heads back to the hanger and steals his own
gear, bringing it back up to aid in the fight. After destroying the dragon gear,
Seraphna continues her attack, until the group finally brings her down --- but
only to witness her being stabbed from behind by Motenk DS, who kills her and
takes command of the Alliance. The group, enraged, ignores his talk of
continuing their truce, and Ariel attacks him, despite his threat to kill
Katrina and frame them for the murder of Seraphna. As Ariel fights him, the
Motenk inside DS orders the Alliance personnel to kill Katrina, which they
attmept to do - but Dias takes the shots and dies instead. Ariel, still enraged,
continues to battle Motenk DS -- and he allows her to strike a fatal blow to
him, then exits DS' body and enters the dead Dias. Death Star, fatally wounded,
collapses to his wounds and begins to die, when Ariel gives up her lifeforce to
bring him back. However, trouble is far from over - Dias is under control of the
Motenk now and the fight is far from over. But what can Stark do about it?
Session 207: Day of the Dead
Dias begins to attack the group, now under the
influence of the Motenk spirit inside him. However, Stark reveals his voodoo
powers have one more little trick to them - they can channel the dead. Calling
up a long dead spirit of a Hunter, he joins the group in trying to subdue Dias -
or kill him. Death Star, enraged at the death of Ariel, attacks Dias, trying to
bring him down. In the end, they succeed in getting the spirit to give up
control of Dias' body. With the battle over, Death Star grabs Ariel's body and
takes her back to the Aquarius, willing to use the Cavaet Emptor device to bring
her back to life. However, Kyouki, who loves DS, volunteers to give up her own
life for Ariel. Arriving too late to stop it, Snipe and Slasher find Kyouki dead
and Ariel alive. Angered, Snipe destroys the Cavaet Emptor device before anyone
else can use it, then says he's going to find a new leader for the Aquarius:
Junior.
