<Ire> Session 133: Crystal Exodus Part IX - ... In Darkest Night ...
<Ire> Time Chart: Immediately thereafter part 8
<Ire> Location: McCabe's Office
<Snipe> You have GOT to be kidding me.
* Slasher puts his hand to his face, rubbing it
* Ire glances at the screen. On it is a giant crystal with someone inside it.
* Junior looks on at the screen.
<Junior> What?
* Snipe turns to look at McCabe
<Snipe> He's your bundle of energy?!
<Ire> McCabe: Yes. There's extremely high counts of Motenk energy within the crystal and it grows each day. It'll be more than enough to activate the cannon and stop the advancing fleet if we open up the crystal.
* Junior studies the screen. "So... you put him in a bit quartzite cyrstal?"
<Ire> McCabe: I found him in it.
<Ire> Who is it?
<Snipe> It's Death Star.
* Junior turns to the others.
<Slasher> And what of him?
<Junior> You found him and made a giant gun out of him?
* Slasher looks at Jr.
<Slasher> No, he's using him as the energy source.
* Dahok watches kind of confused
* Junior looks at Slasher. "But that energy source powers the weapon."
<Snipe> Look, if you open up that crystal, you could free him.
* Dias looks at Eve
* Eve` just seems to be watching like an observer.
* Slasher suddenly moves his hand to his chin
<Slasher> Unless you actually created a way to siphon off the energy.
<Snipe> McCabe: Not enough time. It would have to be opened.
<Junior> Seems like an awful waste of energy--even considering what the source is.
<Snipe> Look, forget the cannon. Bad idea. We're not opening that crystal.
* Slasher looks at Snipe
* Junior looks to Snipe.
<Junior> Whyso?
<Slasher> There's a chance Snipe...A slim chance.
<Snipe> If you open that crystal, you don't know what you could be unleashing Slasher. Don't you remember 5 years ago? It might not be the good DS you free.
<Slasher> That when the cannon charges up and drains him, it might drain all the Motenk Energy completely.
<Snipe> You don't know that for sure!
<Slasher> Unless you have another way to power up the cannon.
<Snipe> ....No.
* Junior looks between them.
<Slasher> It'll work Snipe.
<Snipe> McCabe: *walks over to a bookcase and pulls a book. A section of the flor opens and an elevator lift arrives* This will be the quickest way to the cannon chambers.
* Ire glances at Junior, raising his eyebrow at the scene before them
* Slasher turns and walks over to the stairs
<Snipe> .... *looks uneasy*
<Ire> McCabe: *steps onto the elevator lift*
* Junior turns to Ire.
* Eve` gets on, not looking very bothered.
<Junior> I hate to say it, but I think this is where we became insignificant to this situation.
* Snipe gets on.
<Ire> It's beyond me. *he agrees, then steps on*
* Dias steps on behind Eve
* Junior steps on as well.
* Dahok hops on
* Slasher waits for everyone else then steps on
<Snipe> I have a bad feeling about this.
<Ire> GM: *the lift begins to lower downward into the heart of the building*
<Ire> GM: *after a bit, the lift stops in a room. All they see is a giant energy core chamber. No sign of the gun...but if the energy core is IN the heart of the building...could the building be part of the gun? In the middle of the energy core is a giant crystal with DS inside*
* Slasher steps off the room and hurriedly walks over to the Core
<Ire> McCabe: Here we are. *steps off and walks up to the energy core, glancing up at the crystal. He steps next to a control pad, glancing at his watch* We have 20 minutes or so before they arrive.
<Junior> This sort of thing would have taken more than five years to build.... *he glances at Slasher*
* Snipe walks slowly up to the core, looking at it.
* Slasher steps upto it and places his hand against the outer shell of the core
* Ire walks over.
<Slasher> There's also a chance Snipe...that this might actually kill him.
<Ire> A giant cannon hidden inside the building.
* Junior looks to Ire.
* Dias steps off
<Junior> And dodging questions.
<Snipe> ... *looks at Slasher* We could barely contain him last time with Garland by our side. If we fight him again, WE might have to kill him.
<Slasher> I can assure you that this will either free him of the Motenk Influence...or kill him all together.
<Eve`> But I thought he regained control of himself before he was sealed. He might still be in control.
<Ire> McCabe: I'm starting the process...now. *activates the Core*
* Slasher steps back
<Slasher> We need to contact the Alliance and tell them to pull their ship away from the Janus Ships.
<Ire> McCabe: Like I said, their ship is still in space.
<Eve`> What could they be doing up there?

<Shiva`> What are these high level threats?
* Sardis looks on.
* MrJordan brings up the images of Ire, Stark, Dahok, Silouette, Firebird, Ayn, and Pope
<MrJordan> These people are renegade terrorists. Their code names are listed next to their images.
<MrJordan> We have reason to believe they are currently in Mega City planning to cause more trouble for the planet Earth if they are not stopped.
* Katrina` looks at the pictures.
<MrJordan> There's also another person we fear may be working with them. *brings up the image of Junior* We do not know this one's name or where he came from.

<Katrina`> ...*seems to be lost in thought*
<Sardis> Kat?
<Katrina`> Hmmm? Yes, Sardis?
<Shiva`> I'll go ahead and get the shuttle prepped. *walks off*
<Sardis> Somethign wrong?
<Katrina`> Just thinking about the man that looks like Garland. *turns to Shiva* We should probably use the teleporter.
* Shiva` stops
<Shiva`> There's still bugs in the system
* Katrina` smiles
<Katrina`> I just would hate for us to be shot down by the Mega City defenses.
<Sardis> Garland... Hianule?
<Shiva`> It wouldn't do us much good to get taken out before we land.
<Katrina`> Yes, Garland Hianule. *nods*
<Sardis> The resemblance can't be that striking, I'm sure. Anyway, let's head down.
* Sardis heads for the teleporter room.
* Katrina` follows

<Ire> UNPAUSE
<Ire> Location: The Core Room
<Ire> McCabe: Alright, we're about to drain the energy. *devices attach to the crystal and begin to shatter it. The crystal tries to regrow, but the machine shatters it faster. Purple energy begins to leak out and the machine greedily laps it up

<Ire> GM: *oddly, the crystal stops repairing it's damage and a giant crack runs down the middle*
* Dias 's body begins to tense up, Eve being so close would be able to sense it

<Slasher> Do you remember your daughter.

<Junior> ... Some things aren't meant to be mettled with.
<Slasher> Yes.
* Snipe nods
<Snipe> If me and Dias fought him, we could win, but it would be fatal. Instead, I'll try another approach. *turns to Ire* I need you to take your unit and fight DS. Wear him down. Hit with everything you got. Don't hold back. Something tells me it won't be fatal to him.
<Ire> ....
* Dias looks at Snipe

<Katrina`> (blades)
* Strife` slows and holds up his hands.
<Strife`> Whoa whoa whoa... No need to get hostile...

<Junior> *glares

<Pope`> Yeah, yeah. Now turn around.

<Shiva`> You're kind of cute from up close.
* Ire suddenly brings his knees up into Shiva's back.
* Junior glares at Kat, holding the sword.
* Shiva` winks at him then tries to grab onto his arms
* Katrina` breaks away, but it's almost as if the two swords are drawn together
<Katrina`> Who--who are you!?
* Junior grits his teeth, growing annoyed.
<Junior> I'm Junior, and you?
<Katrina`> ...Katrina.
<Junior> ... Wait a minute...
* Shiva` is kneed close to Ire, she then grabs onto his face and begins to chill it
<Junior> Katrina, the little kid from...?
* Ire lifts the gun into Shiva's back as she does.

* Katrina` locks blades again, though it's obvious she's fighting the sword's lust to fight with Junior.
<Katrina`> Why is the sword reacting to you like this?
* Sardis throws things at Dahok.
* Ayn stries to knock Strife upside the head with the blade, not to kill him
* Dahok weaves in and out of the things being thrown then howls
<Dahok> MiniGM: *a growl can be heard from behind Sardis*
<Junior> You tell me, it's your sword.
* Strife` is knocked over. He hits the ground with a... splat.
<Katrina`> I'm just using it. I don't own it.
* Junior narrows his eyes.
* Pope` stands up
<Dahok> Lupis: *lifts up her hind leg and lets out a stream of urine at Sardis*

* DeathStar raises the DS sabre up at Ire.
<Dahok> NRP: That was Dahok

<Ire> Loud Voice: I don't believe this.
* Junior runs, holding the emerald blade.
<Dahok> Lupis: *snarls and bites down into Sardis's neck*
* DeathStar turns to the voice.
* Sardis continues to wail at Dahok, doing what he can to ignore the gnat of a wolf.
<Ire> GM: *standing there is Snipe, his arms crossed. To his left is Dias, tilted to the side and looking at everyone. And to Snipe's right is ... Ariel* We come back to save the day and you're trying to kill each other.
