<DeathStar> Session 177: Team Work
<Project-Crescent> -Interruption has occurred.-
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Or wait.. I lagged.
<DeathStar> Time Chart: A few hours after the previous session
<DeathStar> Location: The Wastelands
<DeathStar> GM: Previously, the group of people began to head toward the location of the Grasslands Zones, following the indicated direction by DS. Raven flew on ahead of the group, where he currently resides, and he is carrying kaos. Shadow pulls up second, running along the wastelands behind him. Crescent, meanwhile, is location unknown, having flown away from the group. And DS pulls up the rear, walking casually along, but somehow always in sight
* `Raven` is flying ahead, scouting if you will.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: Brb
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "So, when did ya learn to fly Raven?"
* Project-Crescent had flown off.. far away. Eventually, he could not control himself. He lost control of his body, and fell into the wastelands, inactive. He has been resting ever since he lost control. He is in plain sight to anyone, however.
<DeathStar> GM: *the sun is lower in the sky now and everything seems clear up ahead and behind. There has been no sign of the 5th Column since*
* `Raven` glances back at Kit.
<`Raven`> I have always known how to fly...something of my race.
<DeathStar> GM: *Suddenly, up ahead in the direction Raven and Kit are heading, as well as everyone else, what appears to be a sandstorm can be seen. But, no, wait, upon closer inspection, it would show that it's several 5th Column sand vehicles flying their way, perhaps performing a sweep of the area. Also, in the sky, 5th Column battleships, about six of them, can be seen. It'll only be a matter of time before Raven and Kit are seen*
* `Raven` stops flying immediately wondering what to do.
<`Raven`> Any Suggestions?
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "Um...go in a different direction?"
* `Raven` starts flying backwards hoping to catch up with DeathStar.
* DeathStar glances up as Raven approaches him. He's standing beside an entrance to a small, slightly hidden by the sand, cave*
* `Raven` stops short of DS, "We got Bogey's coming from that way." *points to the direction they just came from.*
<DeathStar> Yeah ... *he nods his head* With their scanners, they'd pick up in no time. *he waves at the cave* Alright you two. Get inside.
<DeathStar> NRP: Pick us up
* `Raven` lets Kit down and then enters the cave.
* Project-Crescent stands up. He struggles to find himself in his mind. Swirling through his mind were the memories of 100,000 years. He fell to the ground, grabbing his head. He could feel the rumbling of the ground as something was coming.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Heh. Does this mean I'll run into the 5th column?
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *follows behind Raven*
<DeathStar> NRP: Perhaps
<DeathStar> GM: *the cave is rather small and dark, the only light coming in from the entrance. It seems it can hold maybe eight people*
* DeathStar slides in after them, looking around. He rubs his hands briefly, frowning, as he examines the cave, then he finds a place to sit down, leaning against the cave wall.
* `Raven` glances around to no avail and just finds a place to sit down.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *pulls out his infrared goggles from his pack and pops them on, hoping to help him see in the cave*
* Project-Crescent staggers forward, trying to find the cause of this shaking.
<DeathStar> We'll just stay in here for a while, let them pass by us. Then we can continue. *he looks at the two* And lets hope the others fare well, since they'll be seen no doubt.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: Back what I miss?
<DeathStar> NRP: You're about to be spotted by a massive 5th Column scout party.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I wonder if they have any interest in project crescent anyway?
<`Raven`> (Were in a cave haha you should have saw us get in...So you do it too!)
<DeathStar> GM: *the 5th Column continues to move forward, performing their sensor sweeps.
<`Raven`> NRP:!!!!!
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: Lovely
<`Raven`> NRP: I forget.
* Project-Crescent continues walking forward, following the rumbling sound.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *with his goggles on, Kit looks around the cave for anything suspicious*
<DeathStar> GM: *the cave seems rather harmless, nothing to be afraid of here. Of course, if the 5th Column finds them, it also leaves little room for escape*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 stays where hes told for reasons he doesnt want to know switching down a visor which allows him night vision
<DeathStar> NRP: So you're staying outside...?
<Project-Crescent> NRP: How far away are these guys?
<`Raven`> NRP: haha looks like your about to die.
<DeathStar> NRP: In a few mins, they'll probably pick you up on their sensors. As for you, you can see them just fine.
* DeathStar looks at Kit and Raven
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP:Hey I have no real idea whats going on lol
<Project-Crescent> NRP: It pays to be a nanomachine.
* Project-Crescent stands there, waiting for them to lock on.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: :P
<DeathStar> NRP: You are outside, in the wastelands, with a massive bad guy scout heading toward you.
<`Raven`> NRP: Shadow just get in the cave!
* _Trunks_ has joined #taw
<DeathStar> NRP: The others entered a cave
<`Raven`> NRP: ANd Seta you are dumb.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Thanks.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Someone has to have some sort of confrontation with these dudes.
<`Raven`> NRP: No seriously your about to die.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: i kinda said i wa there.....when i said i was staying where i was told
<`Raven`> NRP: But don't listen to me.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I'm going to die?
* `Raven` pokes his head out of the cave looking for Shadow.
<DeathStar> So ... *he trails off, as if about to make conversation with those in the cave with him*
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: *smashes his head against the keyboard* Im in the Cave
<`Raven`> NRP: ok man you just didn't clarify it.
<_Trunks_> NRP: Rp going on? lol
* _Trunks_ has quit IRC (Quit: shit brb)
<Project-Crescent> NRP: lol.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *starts whistling to calm himself down*
<DeathStar> Nervous? *he asks Kit, tilting his head to look at him*
* `Raven` sighs and gets back in the cave, restless and wanting to go.
* Project-Crescent falls over and grabs his head again. "Augh.."
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "J...just a little, what about you??"
<DeathStar> GM: *the 5th Column sensors pick up on Crescent. Several vehicles begin to move in his direction*
* DeathStar shakes his head
* Project-Crescent looks up to the side. He stands back up. "I wonder who these people might be..?"
<DeathStar> I'm used to this kind of thing. But when I first had things like this happen, I was nervous, too.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "So waht are we gonna do if...if they find us?"
* _Trunks_ has joined #taw
<DeathStar> Evade them. Don't worry, we'll be fine.
* `Raven` looks over at Shadow who enetered the cave after DS, "So whats your mission plan now?"
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I never really caught on to the original mission plan.
<DeathStar> GM: *six speeder bikes surround Crescent. The six humans on them, wearing 5th Column uniforms, step off, holding their weapons. They aim it at Crescent, one of them ordering him to stand down*
<Project-Crescent> Identify yourselves.
<_Trunks_> NRP: Is it possible for me to RP or is it too late?
<DeathStar> My mission plan? *he raises an eyebrow* My goal is just to get into the Grasslands and get to that village I mentioned. I need parts for the shuttle - if we don't get it working, we'll be stuck in enemy territory for a long time.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 leans agaisnt a wall "wonderful...." he trails off for mo perticular reason
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: you havent been introed T lol
<DeathStar> GM: *coming up behind the six speeder bikes is several armored looking vehicles, probably with enough firepower to level a few buildings*
<Project-Crescent> I repeat. Identify yourselves.
<DeathStar> 5th Column Soldier: Place your hands over your head and kneel, or we will destroy you.
<Project-Crescent> Searching data banks.
<Project-Crescent> Invalid entry.
* DeathStar slides over to the cave entry, looking out
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Heh. Programming has its limits.
<DeathStar> .... Well, it looks like the ultimate weapon is about to get destroyed.
<Project-Crescent> Result: Intruders.
<Project-Crescent> You will be terminated.
* `Raven` chuckles.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 stands there chuckling
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "We should do something..."
<`Raven`> Nah let it.
<`Raven`> One less worry on our hands.
<DeathStar> It could prove to be a distraction for us.
<DeathStar> Let us continue onward.
* Project-Crescent grabs puts his hand on his head, a wave begins to come straight from his head.. it begins to paralyze those around him within 100 feet.
* `Raven` nods to DeathStar and gets ready to leave.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: minus grabs*
<DeathStar> GM: *the six soldiers are naturally startled. However, upon sensing the distrubance, 20 more speeder bikes head Crescent's way, along with the six armored tanks*
* Project-Crescent quickly boosts up into the air, laughing. He then launches away from them, searching for the lifeforms from earlier.
<DeathStar> .... *begins to laugh bitterly, putting a hand to his face* Goddammit.
<DeathStar> GM: *the battlecruisers launch fighters after Crescent, which easily keep up with him*
<`Raven`> "You ok?"
<DeathStar> He's leading them to us.
<`Raven`> "HE'S WHAT?"
* Project-Crescent charges into maximum output, laughing. He knows he's leading hell onto those men he met earlier. After finding the cave, he lands down right infront of it, walking, not even glancing at the pursuers.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 waits to know what the hell to do "should have left him where he was....asleep....good job genius"
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *after hearing this he is struck with fear* "We gotta get outta this place!"
<DeathStar> Wait...I have an idea.
<`Raven`> "Well You lead my friend...you seem to have did this type before."
<DeathStar> GM: *the fighters, which have no trouble keeping up with Crescent, fire missiles the second he lands*
<DeathStar> Everyone, move to the back of the cave. Then get real close to each other. Like we did before. Touch hands.
* `Raven` sighs at the hand touching bit and moves to the back of the cave.
* `Raven` knows hes gonna teleport but doesn't know where.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *goes to the back of the cave* "What is this gonna do?"
* DeathStar leaps back from the entrance of the cave as the missiles are launched, grabbing Raven's hand.
* Project-Crescent continues walking, the missiles hit his leg, and tear off some of it. The leg immediately begins repairing himself. He walks into the cave. "Hello."
<DeathStar> We're going to teleport right before this cave is hit.
* Project-Crescent sees what they're doing, and runs to grab one of them.
* `Raven` grabs Kit's hand.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 places his face in his hand "what a plan" he moves back doing what hes told
<DeathStar> GM: *if Crescent is hit by the missiles, it's game over for Crescent*
<Project-Crescent> You won't leave me here.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Hmm.. Didn't realize they were that strong. Well, anyway.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Don't leave me for the dead.
<DeathStar> NRP: I advice you avoid the missiles, then.
<`Raven`> NRP: I told you to quit acting all High and MIghty man.
* Project-Crescent boosts through the cave, trying to grab one of them before they teleport.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: So be it :O I won't act high and mighty :p
* DeathStar activates a teleport right as the cave is destroyed. The group appears behind the fleet now, in the sands of the wasteland
* DeathStar collapses to his knees.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: did I make it?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah, you made it.
* `Raven` grabs DeathStar's arm.
<DeathStar> NRP: Consider this your freebie.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Heh.
<Project-Crescent> Hello again.
<`Raven`> "Come On i'll fly you. You three better follow if you want to live. JUst point in the direction."
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *sits on the ground shaking with fear thinking about what would have happened had they not teleported*
<DeathStar> You'll be...*pants*...detected if you fly...
<Project-Crescent> I have no data on any of those people. Explain.
<`Raven`> "WEll then i'll walk you."
* `Raven` begins walking in the direction he believes he was walking last time.
* DeathStar moves along beside Raven, eyeing Crescent, then looking at Kit
<DeathStar> You did good, kid. Lets keep moving, though
* Retrieving #taw modes...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *nods and gets up following DS and the others*
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Who'd you call kid?
<DeathStar> NRP Kit.
<kaos`> NRP: He's all young and stuff.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 looks at them all then a DS "well....SiR...what now?"
<`Raven`> "Just follow me."
<DeathStar> ..."Sir"? *looks at Shadow*
* Project-Crescent ignores them, he looks at DeathStar. "Motenk. Where are we headed?"
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "sarcasm is a forgien language to you eh?"
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I mistake you for a motenk due to your powers.
<DeathStar> NRP: I figured.
<`Raven`> "LIsten! If you want to live, you'll follow me!"
* DeathStar grinds his teeth at Crescent's comment, his eyes flickering with something dark, then looks at Crescent
<DeathStar> We're going to a village to find parts.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "Does this village consist of friendly people?"
<`Raven`> "We should hope."
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "very well....." he stands there in thought
<DeathStar> GM: *up ahead is the shimmering of a simulator - the Grasslands Zone. The second they pass the shimmering barrier, they'll be out of the wastelands and on a grassy plain*
<Project-Crescent> 'Data entry. 5th Column, looking for more data.'
<`Raven`> 'Come'on were almost there!"
<DeathStar> The villagers should be friendly, but since Janus controls the area, that makes the area more dangerous.
<Project-Crescent> Janus?
<DeathStar> Janus is a weapons corporation that currently controls 5/7ths of the planet.
<Project-Crescent> I see.
<Project-Crescent> I will make a data entry.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 *nods* "so when do we head out"
<`Raven`> NRP: Haha me and DS already are shadow.
* DeathStar walks along the plains, eyeing them. There is no sign of anything here except grassy plains and trees.
* `Raven` wonders if DS is alright now.
<DeathStar> The village isn't too far away now. The 5th Column will be less likely to follow us here, so that buys us time
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: :P
<Project-Crescent> These 5th column people... Motenk, they have very powerful weaponry.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 hurries up after the rest of them
* `Raven` puts his hands behind his head, thinking many things.
<DeathStar> You're still weak, Crescent. You'll find there are many things and people stronger than you. Of course, the more you fight, the stronger you'll get.
<Project-Crescent> Yes. I will evolve eventually.
<`Raven`> It seems were all still weak. We all need to train and battle.
<Project-Crescent> Right now, you could say I was in a child state by human standards.
* DeathStar laughs suddenly.
* `Raven` chuckles at DeathStar's mad laugh.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *begins whistling again as they walk*
<DeathStar> You guys remind me of some people I knew long ago.
<Project-Crescent> Is something funny?
* `Raven` glances back at Kit, "How you doin?"
<DeathStar> GM: *a tiger eyes the group as if they're a meal*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 catching up in time to hear DS' comment "Really? who?" he feels some reason to act friendly though it comes off as sarcasm
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "I'm fine, just a little freaked out."
* Project-Crescent does not tell them what his sensors indicate.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Oooh I'm so bad. :D
<DeathStar> The Hunters. Not the Maverick Hunters, mind you, that group was boring. But you guys remind me a lot of the Hunters...
* `Raven` nods, "It happens to the best of us."
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: not really
* `Raven` then turns to DeathStar. "I have no real knowledge of the past of this planet...just mostly recent events.
<`Raven`> "
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "the hunters eh? thats interesting to say the least"
<Project-Crescent> If you are capable, I will share my endless data bank of knowledge with you, Raven.
<DeathStar> GM: *up ahead, finally, is seen a small village of huts. People roam about the village, gathering food from the crops outside of it.*
<Project-Crescent> Scan complete. Analysis Result: Filthy hovel.
<DeathStar> GM: *however, despite the backwaters appearance, the village does have a store, which is clearly visible as being the most modern thing here, and a tavern*
<Project-Crescent> NRP: lol
* `Raven` glances at the machine, "Nah I'm good...I think I'll learn for myself."
<`Raven`> So we goin to the store first?
<Project-Crescent> I could easily act human, you know. I just don't feel up to it.
* DeathStar stops at the village gates. The natives glance at them curiously, wondering who the heck they are.
<DeathStar> I suppose. This really is a good spot for everyone to go their seperate ways, if they wanted. The 5th Column nor Janus know any of you, so if you want to just "fade away", so to speak, this is the place to do it.
<Project-Crescent> Why are the 5th Column pursuing you?
<DeathStar> Lets just say if they see me, I'm a dead give away.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "How long do you think they will look for us."
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 sees the village and the store "finally" runs into the town square to find an inn
<Project-Crescent> Do you think they'll chase me if I leave you?
<DeathStar> If they figure out you're from the ship? Probably.
* DeathStar glances at Kit
<DeathStar> I doubt they'll look for you long, Kid. Don't worry.
<Project-Crescent> Tell me, Motenk. Why were you at the lab?
* DeathStar laughs, then nods at the store
<`Raven`> Well I'm staying with you Deathstar...if you don't mind. I think I could learn from you.
<DeathStar> Alright, follow me, if you want to know.
* DeathStar walks toward the store.
* Project-Crescent does not show any emotion. He just follows.
* `Raven` silently walks behind him, waiting for an answer.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Crescent is as human as he wishes to act.
* DeathStar nods to Raven, indicating it's fine
<DeathStar> I was doing a favor for President Slasher of the Mega City area. He wanted to know what was on the ship that landed.
<DeathStar> His main unit was busy elsewhere.
<`Raven`> Hmm...unit for President Slasher...oh yes! The Alternate unit, I was suppose to be assigned to kill them.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 finds an inn and walks in
* DeathStar opens the shop store, walking in. Inside is all sorts of vehicles parts, ranging from hoverbikes to shuttles.
* DeathStar glances at Raven
<Project-Crescent> So.. what will happen to me?
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *looks for a bench and lays down on it to rest*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 walks up the the front desk and waits around for the clerk
<`Raven`> That was of course till I rebelled..*He clearly points out so no one else will be suspicious.*
<DeathStar> My offer of going back to see Slasher stands. He could talk to you, provide you with some answers, and also give you a job. As a weapon, I figure you'd like to fight, and that's what he's doing. He's fighting both Janus and the 5th Column.
<DeathStar> GM: *the clerk walks over, eyeing Shadow* Clerk: How may I help you, sir?
<Project-Crescent> My files indicate that I was created to destroy you all.
<Project-Crescent> However I am incapable of doing such at my current state.
<Project-Crescent> I will travel with you.
<`Raven`> Against the Fifth Column you say? I could do with that.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "yeah could i get a room for..." he thinks a moment"umm five"
<DeathStar> Clerk: For five? Alright, sir. *he walks over to a computer and types in the information* That will be 150 gil, please.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Do we even have money?
<Project-Crescent> NRP: lol.
<DeathStar> NRP: You don't!
<`Raven`> NRP: Haha please tell me we have money. Hahaha.
* DeathStar picks up various looking pieces of equipment, setting them on the counter.
<DeathStar> So, Kit, what are you going to do after all this ends?
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 takes out the 150 gil and hands it to the clerk "thanks...ill be back later. ok?"
<DeathStar> Clerk: Alright. What is your name, sir, so we may log it in for you.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: we have money?
<DeathStar> NRP: You don't!
<kaos`> NRP: I'm outside on a bench resting.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Oh, you mean me. Course I don't.
<DeathStar> NRP: Ah, I thought you sat inside. My bad.
<kaos`> NRP: No problem lol.
<DeathStar> GM: *Kit would notice, probably to his horror, that a 5th Column armored tank just pulled up outside the village. The villagers, eyeing the tank, begin to run into their homes, trying to clear out*
* `Raven` begins to look around at the equipment...asking the attendent about various things and what they do.
* Project-Crescent walks outside, noticing the tank. "I suppose they are after the Motenk."
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "my name is..." thinks a moment "Mardonas" he then leaves the Inn to liook for the others
* _Trunks_ has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* _Trunks_ has joined #taw
* DeathStar lifts his head, hearing some commotion outside. He pauses, then steps to the door, eyeing the tank. 15 5th Column soldiers step out, holding rifles and other weapons. They begin to look around, talking to themselves*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *after noticing the tank and almost having a heart attack, Kit makes his way to the store to find DS and the others*
<DeathStar> Well well... looks like they're brave enough to enter enemy territory to find us.
<Project-Crescent> ...
<Project-Crescent> What shall we do, Motenk?
<DeathStar> Fight.
* `Raven` glances over at DS stop talking to the Attendant, "Wouldn't that risk a war?"
<DeathStar> They're already at war. The 5th Column probably has nothing to lose in pissing off Janus.
<Project-Crescent> Very well.
<DeathStar> But there has to be some reason they're here besides us. And I intend to find out what.
<Project-Crescent> Battle mode commencing, terminating linguistics.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 runs up to DS "ive got a place for us to hide...."
* DeathStar offers Shadow an apologetic smile
<DeathStar> Sorry, but this is the time to fight. We can take them on - plus we need to find out why they're here. Besides looking for us.
* `Raven` pops his neck and then steps fast Ds and out into the middle of the square.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 rolls his eyes "well we better survive....dont wanna have wasted the money in vain"
* DeathStar pulls out his sabre, then moves out to the square also. The 15 soldiers spot them, then begin to talk into the comm. links.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *pulls his rifle off of his shoulder and loads it up*
* Project-Crescent walks out there, his communicator off. He's only concerned about killing these men and nothing else. His arm suddenly transforms into a sword, powered by his mind.
* `Raven` holds both of his hands strait out. Charging energy into them.
<DeathStar> Kit, you'll do better long range, so find a place to hide and then hit them with your rifles.
<DeathStar> The rest of us I think will do good close-range.
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldiers aim their weapons at those in the square, charging up the rifles*
* `Raven` growls under his breath and smacks his hands together releases a huge blast into the group of 15.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "Right." *looks around until he notices something he can climb on to get on top of the store*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 places a hand on the hilt of his katana and nods to DS "ready when you are"
<DeathStar> GM: *there's a few crates next to the store, which would provide just enough height to get to the roof*
<DeathStar> Lets do it
<DeathStar> GM: *the 15 soldiers scatter from the blast; two of them are too slow and are hit, screaming in pain*
* DeathStar rushes forward, ducking under a rifle blast and slashing upward to destroy the rifle.
* `Raven` then pulls out his pistols and begins firing upon the men that scattered to the left.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "Haha...wicked.." *Jumps onto the crates and pulls himself onto the roof where he gets in a crouching position with his rifle, aiming at where the soldiers are*
* Project-Crescent rushes into the battle, he rushes at one, and tries to thrust his psy sword into his stomach.
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldier turns and is stabbed by Crescent, blood pouring out of his wound. He gurgles, then dies*
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldiers fired at by Raven dive behind the armored tank, cursing at him*
* Project-Crescent turns around and immediately rushes at another one, he jumps into the air and slashes at his head.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "after you Deathstar" he rushes forward slowing into a walk as he draws his katana and slices at the neck of the nearest soldier
<DeathStar> GM: *Kit would have aim at those behind the tank, due to his position*
* `Raven` hisses and then closes his eyes, he phases out and appears on top of the tank, looking for a hatch.
<DeathStar> GM: *the two soldiers being attacked by Crescent and Shadow look up, then both lose their heads at the same time*
<DeathStar> GM: *there is indeed a hatch, which is currently closed*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *gets one of the soldier's heads into the scope and pulls the trigger*
* `Raven` attempts to open the hatch.
<DeathStar> GM: *one of the hiding soldiers look up, only to have his head shot in. His brain matters explode outward and he falls oveR*
* Project-Crescent boosts at a group of three soldiers, and tries to knock them down. If that works, he would cut through each one of them.
* DeathStar twirls and slashes one in half, eyeing as Crescent mows down three more.
<DeathStar> GM: *the hatch seems to be locked down. It'll take a lot of strength or firepower to open*
<DeathStar> GM: *another armored tank arrives and 15 more soldiers leap out, trying to aid the remaining few left*
* Project-Crescent whirls into the air, and jumps on another to knock him down. If he would knock him down, he would vigorously slice him up.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 turns with his slash faceing another soldier which he rushes at thrusting his katana at him to impale him
* `Raven` attempts to pull open the hatch with all his strength.
<DeathStar> GM: *the hatch breaks open*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *after that shot, Kit turns his attention to the the fresh batch of soldiers, taking shots into the crowd*
* `Raven` throws it at a random soldier, "HEY DS! Can you drive this thing!?"
<DeathStar> GM: *another soldier is hit by Crescent, dying. However, one walks up behind him and fires at his back.
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldier Shadow stabs at dodges, barely, and aims his rifle at shadow, firing at his head*
* Project-Crescent feels the shot go right through his back. He laughs and turns around, then grabs the soldiers head, and crushes it with his left hand. The wound immediately begins to repair itself.
<DeathStar> GM: *the new batch of soldiers take cover as Kit fires at them. They are using someone's home as cover, hidign on the right side of it*
* DeathStar flips onto the tank
<DeathStar> Yeah, hold on.
* DeathStar climbs in and punches out the pilot.
<`Raven`> "Everyone stand back!"
* Project-Crescent rushes at the crowd of oncoming solders, and jumps into them, trying to create a hole in the circle. He whirls his blade in the circle, trying to take out as many as he can.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *Unable to see them he just waits until any of them step out of cover*
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldiers, seeing Crescent, scatter, now once again in Kit's line of fire*
* `Raven` then drops into the tank, "Their any controls for firing down here?
* DeathStar points at a set
<DeathStar> Those.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 falls to his side purposly to dodge the shot. from his spot on the ground he spins slashing at the legs of the soldier as he rises to his feet fromm the spin
* DeathStar grabs the pilot controls and turns the tank around, aiming them at the other tank.
* `Raven` hops onto the firing controls and begins experimenting with them not pushing any red buttons.
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldier cries out as his legs are hacked off by Shadow and he falls over*
<DeathStar> GM: *Raven fires their tank at the other tank, hitting it hard in the side. The other tank begins to turn to aim at them*
* Project-Crescent slices at any soldiers near him, taking down as many possible.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 stands over the soldier then runs for the tank attacking any soldiers that might be trying to cause the others to fail
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldiers just keep their distance from Crescent, firing from long range.*
<DeathStar> GM: *three soldiers rush at Shadow, firing their rifles at him*
* `Raven` waits for the reload and presses the fire button again.
* Project-Crescent flies over their shots and then, goes behind one. He thrusts his sword straight into the back of his neck.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *looks through the windows of the house the soldiers are behind and takes a shot through them*
<`Raven`> NRP: HAha nice Kaos.
<DeathStar> GM: *the soldiers cry out as they are shot by Kit, falling down in bloody piles - they never saw it coming*
<DeathStar> GM: *Crescent would notice by now there are 5 soldiers left - 3 are the ones attacking Shadow*
<DeathStar> GM: *the other tank dodges Raven's second shot*
* Project-Crescent looks at a soldier far away. He puts his hand to his head, and attacks his mind directly, trying to cripple him and unstabilize him.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 leaps over and combat rolls under the soldiers fire closing the gap and slashes horizonally at the three soldiers chests
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *takes this time to reload his rifle*
<`Raven`> MAn I have poor aim with this. *he murmurs as he sets up another shot.*
<DeathStar> GM: *the three soldiers go down, plus the fourth one by Crescent, leaving just one. He stands there, then runs like a coward*
* DeathStar dodges the enemy tank's fire.
* Project-Crescent laughs, and attacks his mind too as he runs.
<Project-Crescent> DIE!
<DeathStar> GM: *the last soldier falls over, trying to crawl away now*
* Project-Crescent had re-enabled his linguistics to say that :p
* Project-Crescent jumps on him and slashes at his neck.
<DeathStar> GM: *that soldier isn't going to get a-HEAD in life*
* `Raven` lines up the tank and fires again.
<kaos`> NRP: Lol.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Ha ha ha.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 leaps onto the tank " ok...no what?"
<DeathStar> GM: *the other tank is hit again, smoking now. It begins to try to move behind the store*
<DeathStar> NRP: Our tank or their tank?
<`Raven`> GM's Drummer: *DUH DUM CHI!*
<`Raven`> NRP: lol ours.
<`Raven`> NRP: Wait.
<DeathStar> NRP: That was to Shadow, silly.
<`Raven`> NRP haha ooops.
* Project-Crescent jumps ontop of the other tank, he tries to cut open the cover with his psy arm sword.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: our tank :P didnt realize there were two :P
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *spots a tank heading towards the store, which he is on top of*
<DeathStar> GM: *as the cover is cut open, a huge ki blast flies out of the hole at him. If it hits, it'll be strong enough to hit him clear off the tank*
<DeathStar> NRP: That's to Crescent
* DeathStar glances up at Shadow
<DeathStar> We have to stop that last tank.
* Project-Crescent quickly moves out of the way, it clips his hand as he moves out of the way. It begins repairing as well.
* DeathStar pursues the tank.
* Project-Crescent jumps into the tank and slashes at any personnel in it.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "easier said then done....especially if we dont want to hurt any innocents"
<DeathStar> GM: *A strange blonde chiere soldier leaps out as Crescent is leaping in, knocking him back up on top of the tank. The soldier laughs.*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *runs to the edge of the roof and pulls out his pistol, firing shot after shot into the tank below*
* `Raven` spots the Chiere.
* Project-Crescent shakes his head and rises back up. "Identify."
<`Raven`> SOme of my Kindred are here...we better go help the robot!
<DeathStar> GM: *the shots hits the tank, doing minimal damage. But it does cause the soldier on top of it to eye Kit*
<DeathStar> Shit. That's a Chiere.
<DeathStar> Soldier: *throws a punch at Crescent. This guy is way stronger than any normal human*
* Project-Crescent takes the punch, he is thrown way back. "You are human?"
<DeathStar> Soldier: I am a Chiere warrior.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *continues firing shots at the tank*
<Project-Crescent> Searching data bank...
<Project-Crescent> Invalid entry. Hmm..
* DeathStar brings their tank along side the enemy tank.
<Project-Crescent> Never heard of it.
<DeathStar> Soldier: *charges a blast in his hand, then fires a ki blast at Kit*
<Project-Crescent> I am Project C.R.E.S.C.E.N.T.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: I'll tell you what it means when I think it up.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: lol.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP:brb
* `Raven` appears beside Kit and grabs him, hopefully able to teleport him away from the blast.
<kaos`> NRP: Oh lol yay.
* DeathStar rams the enemy tank, causing it to flip over with Crescent and the soldier on it.
<DeathStar> Soldier: *rolls along the ground, then stands up. He seems pissed*
* Project-Crescent boosts to the side as it flips. ".."
* DeathStar stops the tank and pops out of hole.
<DeathStar> Crescent - his weakness is electricity.
<`Raven`> NRP: haha did I save Kaos' arse?
<DeathStar> NRP: Sure
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Hmm. I don't have anything electrical. A toaster? :D
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "Phewww...that was close, thanks alot Raven."
<DeathStar> Soldier: *runs at Crescent, throwing a kick at him*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 sits on the side of the tank "interesting"
* DeathStar pulls himself out of the tank, holding a notebook of some kind.
<DeathStar> Thankfully that's just a normal Chiere.
* Project-Crescent takes the kick just as he did the punch. Again he is thrown really far back.
* Project-Crescent boosts at the soldier, and then thrusts his sword at his head.
<DeathStar> Soldier: *the soldier leans back, letting the sword pass over him.*
<`Raven`> "DOn't mention it."
* Project-Crescent uses his other hand to punch him.
* `Raven` then pulls out his left pistol and loads and electric shot into it.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Nanostrength!
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "a normal cheire?"
<DeathStar> Soldier: *is punched along the ground*
* `Raven` starts walking toward the chiere. he aims and releases an electric blast at it.
<DeathStar> The 5th Column has created some type of Super Chiere. They've been giving the Alternate Unit big trouble.
* Project-Crescent boosts at him and tries to cut his head off again.
<DeathStar> Soldier: *stands and is hit by the electricity. He screams and is too much in pain to dodge Crescent. His head comes off and silver blood flies around*
* DeathStar flips through the notebook.
* Project-Crescent reverts his hand to normal and returns linguistics to normal. "Battle Mode.. off."
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 *reloads his pistol and walks around looking for targets*
<DeathStar> GM: *it seems, somehow, the group has defeated every enemy*
* `Raven` sighs and then jumps up onto the tank.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "interesting...well as i said earlier i got us a place to stay for the night"
<`Raven`> "We must'nt linger."
<DeathStar> .... *frowns as he reads the notebook*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "That was funner than I thought it would be." *is smiling big as he puts his pistol up*
* DeathStar runs a hand through his short hair, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> Damn.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 "understoo Raven...but after all this we need a damn rest"
<`Raven`> Something wrong DeathStar?
<DeathStar> Yeah ...
<Project-Crescent> Motenk.
<Project-Crescent> What is wrong?
<DeathStar> It seems the 5th Column found some type of ruins north of here, just outside the Grasslands in the Wastelands. They think they're found the location of a powerful artifact.
<`Raven`> That is?
<Project-Crescent> Artifact?
<`Raven`> Another one? *He states as he glances at Crescent*
* `Raven` sighs.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 sighs "great...just what we need"
<DeathStar> Yes. But according to these orders, it might have something to do with the Spear of Destiny.
<`Raven`> The Spear of what?
<DeathStar> .... *nods his head* I guess I should brief you guys, then.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Can we end soon?
* `Raven` nods and waits, listening.
<DeathStar> The Spear of Destiny, or the Spear of Longinus, is the spear supposedly used to pierce the side of Jesus Christ. The 5th Column recovered the spear last year, thus allowing their leader, Senreich, to take over the entire British Isles in one night. The spear makes him invincible.
<DeathStar> NRP: It's about to end.
<DeathStar> If they found some artifact that either makes the spear more powerful or whatnot, it would be disasterous. And I wouldn't be able to get back to Slasher fast enough to send anyone to do anything about it in time.
<Project-Crescent> Spear.. of... Loginus..
<Project-Crescent> ..Longinus was it?
<DeathStar> Correct.
<Project-Crescent> NRP: Nano typo.
<`Raven`> So what are we waiting for?
<`Raven`> We need to hurry and get there!
<DeathStar> ... *looks at Raven*
<DeathStar> You know, I think if you all went together, you might actually could slow them down ...
<`Raven`> You not coming?
<DeathStar> I should repair the shuttle and get Slasher to send reinforcements.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 arches a brow "hes gonna go warn slasher correct?"
* DeathStar throws the notebook to Raven
<DeathStar> The location of the ruins is there. All you guys would have to do is use this tank and get there.
<DeathStar> The tank should provide you some access, as long as they don't peak inside.
<Project-Crescent> Wait.
<Project-Crescent> Motenk, I will travel with you to see this 'Slasher.'
<Project-Crescent> I have questions.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "This doesn't sound too safe."
<`Raven`> If no one else will I'll try my best to do it alone...But I would definently like the help.
<DeathStar> Fair enough, Crescent. *looks at Kit* I know. But the fate of the world could depend on you guys. As cliched as that may seem.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 nods to DS "good luck Deathstar"
<DeathStar> And to you. I'll be sure to get you guys help right away.
* `Raven` looks over to Shadow, then Kit. And then begins reading his NOteBook.
<`Raven`> NRP: The notebook.
<DeathStar> Alright, lets go Crescent. *he hops into the store, grabs the supplies, and puts them in bag. Throwing the bag over his shoulder, he waves at the three remaining people, and walks off*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 well for now we might as well stay at the inn for the night and leave at dawn
* Project-Crescent follows him.
* `Raven` nods to Shadow's remark.
* `Raven` then walks into the inn.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia1`7>4 "I'll stay on the roof incase anyone shows up, I'm not that tired anymore."
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ｫ 5Shadow10ｻ>14 nods to Kit and walks into the inn
