<Snipe> Session 238: The Evil
<Snipe> Time Chart: December 15th, 2223
<Snipe> Location: Various places
<Snipe> Narrator: After our defeat by Atheos, the group split apart over the next day. With the world and galaxy going mad, trouble was just mounting. Garland left to find some more ways to beat Atheos, while Slasher met with McCabe about the conditions of the city. Wind and Ariel went their own ways to find where Katrina was at.
* Snipe stands at his house, looking out at the falling snow.
<Alicia> <Michiru> It looks... sad, somehow...
* Snipe looks at his daughter.
<Snipe> The falling snow?
<Alicia> <Michiru> Yeah.. I don't blame it, though
<Snipe> I always liked the snow as a kid.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I still like it, but it's hard to feel upbeat with what's happened..
* Wind stands on a mountaintop, half-way across the world. He kneels, scanning the area.
* Snipe pushes up his glasses
<Snipe> Yeah, I think I'm out of my league this time around, kiddo.
* Ariel looks to Wind, "...anything?"
<Alicia> <Michiru> I want to help, but I'm not sure what I can do
<Wind> I can't find anything. *he shakes his head, standing up*
<Snipe> Did your moms teach you anything?
<Ariel> We can't give up... there must be something...
* Wind turns to look at Ariel, nodding.
<Alicia> <Michiru> A bit.. but I'm not sure it'll be enough
<Wind> I'll turn this entire planet upside down if I have to.
* Dias walks through the remains of the city
<Snipe> I know what you mean. I'm not strong enough myself.
* Dias sticks his hands into his pockets, his head turning from side to side as he takes in the scenery
<Snipe> NRP: <Snipe> Quick, Dias, I need your power! We must have sex!
* Ariel nods slowly, looking to the horizon
<Alicia> NRP: I'd laugh if Michiru had picked up Snipe's power. ^^;;
<Wind> Lets make another jump and see if we turn up anything there.
<Snipe> NRP: I wouldn't be surprised if she could.
<Alicia> NRP: *giggles*
* Wind walks over to Ariel, putting a hand on her shoulder. He prepares to teleport.
<Dias> NRP: Would that make her a whore of circumstances?
<Snipe> NRP: Awful.
<Dias> NRP: Quite.
<Snipe> <McCabe> *stands in front of his glass window, overlooking the city* Look at it burn.
<Slasher> There was nothing you could do to prepare for this, all you can do is make it right.
* Wind suddenly crackles with energy again, letting go of Ariel. He grabs his arm in pain as the energy runs up his arm.
<Snipe> <McCabe> *laughs, his hair messy for once* But it looks pretty.
* Snipe sits down on his swing, rocking back and forth, feeling old before his time.
<Ariel> *startled* What is it?
<Slasher> That's just Chaos speaking throgh you.
<Snipe> <McCabe> *forces himself to calm down, then nods* I know.
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #taw
* Rejoined channel #taw
* Topic is 'Session 238: The Evil - Things are beginning to get worse and now the team must find a way to unleash their inner strength. As Garland gathers forces of light, Wind experiences an uncontrollable 'bout of energy surges, and Snipe and Dias must find that fighting spirit again. Atheos vs. Slasher!'
* Set by DeathStar on Thu Dec 09 22:10:42
-> *nickserv* ghost Snipe grapeapple
* Snipe has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Atheos is now known as Snipe
<Wind> I...I'm not sure... Lately...
<Snipe> <McCabe> *forces himself to calm down, then nods* I know.
* Slasher nods
<Snipe> I'm 36, kiddo. Yet I feel old before my time.
<Slasher> Of course, everything may become moot if we don't find a way to stop Atheos.
* Wind concentrates and the energy ripples vanish
<Snipe> <McCabe> How DO you plan to stop him?
<Alicia> <Michiru> I just feel helpless.. how do you fight something like that?
<Slasher> Cunning...Intelligence...And hopefuly sheer luck.
<Ariel> Are you alright...? Maybe you need to rest...
* Wind rotates his arm, then glances at Ariel.
<Wind> It's just a hiccup.
<Snipe> You punch it in the face until it bleeds - that's my motto.
<Snipe> <McCabe> *snorts, shaking his head*
<Ariel> *frowns* I don't know...
<Wind> I've experienced the pain before. It must be the equivalent of "phantom pains".
<Slasher> Yeah, the outcomes very grim.
<Wind> It's just like the pain I felt when I was dumped into hyperspace.
* Granji-GCN is now known as Granji
<Snipe> <McCabe> *goes to say something when his comm. buzzes* Yes? <Female Voice> Sir, there's someone who's here to see Slasher. Claims he's his dad.
<Slasher> NRP: DS: OR the pain in my pants when I can't have sex.
* Slasher quirks his eyebrows
<Ariel> ...I've never heard of 'phantom pains' causing visual signs that other people can see.
<Wind> When I fell in hyperspace, I just absorbed large amounts of it. It's probably just a side effect.
<Snipe> <McCabe> *looks at Slasher* Your father?
<Slasher> My father.
<Snipe> <McCabe> Well, he's in the next room if you want to see him.
<Slasher> Of course...*turns stepping out of McCabe's office*
<Ariel> That... doesn't mean it's safe...
<Snipe> GM: Slasher is back in the hallway. There's a side room that seems to have it's lights on - a meeting room or waiting room of some sorts.
<Wind> Well, safe or not, we don't have time to slow down. Katrina needs us.
* Slasher eyes the room with the lights on and heads into it
* Ariel nods and leans against DS, "...just don't push yourself hard enough that we might not find her."
<Snipe> GM: *a figure stands in front of picture from the Bible - the damned angel being cast out of heaven. He then turns, a familiar white hair, military style cut. He smokes a cigar, then puts it out. It's Cran* <Cran> Slasher.
* Wind puts his arm around Ariel, leaning his head against her's.
<Wind> With you by myself, I have no limits.
<Slasher> You're looking quite well for something who's been dead for nigh 12 years.
<Snipe> <Cran> Death never technically stopped me before, has it?
<Slasher> This is quite true. *reaches behind him, closing the door, he brings his hands up to his chest and crosses them*
<Snipe> <Cran> Besides, it's been 16 years.
* Snipe rocks back and forth, lost in his idle thoughts.
<Ariel> *smiles a little* And you push me to near heart attacks.
<Wind> It's why we're a great team.
<Slasher> So what do I owe this meeting to?
<Snipe> <Cran> I would think the end of the world would merit a meeting, woudln't you?
<Slasher> Only if you believe it will end here.
<Snipe> <Cran> There's definitely going to be an ending, Slasher.
<Slasher> There's always an ending to every story Cran. Some just don't end the way certain people want them to.
<Snipe> <Cran> A storyteller to the end. That's what I like about you, my boy.
* Slasher motions to the picture behind Cran
<Slasher> It's quite a beautiful work of art eh?
<Snipe> <Cran> It's positively moving. It represents that we all fall from grace.
* Wind teleports himself and Ariel to another location, where he moves off and scans the area again.
<Slasher> Of course, but what I like about it the most is that it doesn't give you a definite ending. It makes the viewer create their own story of what happens after.
<Snipe> <Cran> Redemption? Revenge? How do you think the story ended?
<Slasher> I like to believe this angel strived for redemption. But sometimes redemption leads into revenge.
* Ariel trys to sense out any sign of their daughter on her own, wishing she'd honed her senses, or anything that'd help right now.
<Snipe> You know, Michuri, I use to be the most powerful guy on the planet.
<Snipe> <Cran> Redemption is a fairy tale, Slasher. One can never redeem themselves. You have a perfect example right now, out there searching for it.
<Alicia> <Michiru> What happened?
<Snipe> I built a porch and sat on it all the time.
* Garland has joined #taw
* Wind shakes his head
<Wind> Nothing.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Well.. at least it wasn't a waste..
<Ariel> *nods slowly* I don't sense anything either...
* Slasher shifts his weight onto his other leg
<Snipe> You like my swing?
<Alicia> <Michiru> Yeah.. it's great.
<Snipe> Thanks.
<Ariel> Sometimes... I wonder if it'd be quicker to build a scanner to scan the planet.
* Wind laughs hoarsely
<Wind> It would be nice.
<Snipe> <Cran> *stands there, his hands folded behind him*
<Slasher> And what makes you believe that redemption is nothing but snow flake in hell?
<Snipe> <Cran> First hand experience.
<Slasher> So you're saying that no matter the circumstance...*begins stepping to the side of the room* That the bad always out weights the good?
<Ariel> I wonder if there's enough resources around...
<Snipe> <Cran> Once you fall from grace, Slasher, you cannot crawl out of the grave you've made.
<Wind> There has to be something we're missing. Some ... thing..
* Wind crackles with energy again, but doesn't seem to notice it.
<Slasher> I believe that only the person can redeem themselves. Even if it's impossible, the idea's enough to stir the tiniest fiber of strength in a body.
<Snipe> <Cran> Hm. Perhaps redemption is merely in death. Look at your "friend" Garland. Then again, even in death, he seems to be the same.
<Slasher> While I don't believe that what he did was right in any ways possible, I've learned that I'm not their final judge.
* Ariel reaches slowly towards the energy, "...maybe we should be checking religious texts? It worked to find the creator..."
<Wind> GM: *an energy sparks reaches out and zaps Ariel's fingers*
<Wind> Perhaps, you're---*pauses, looking at Ariel in concern*
<Snipe> <Cran> You should give up, Slasher. Your fight has come and gone.
<Slasher> I've never been able to pass up the good fight Atheos.
<Snipe> <Cran> *starts laughing* Clever.
* Ariel pulls back quickly, "...I don't think it likes me."
<Slasher> Come on now Atheos, you don't honestly believe that I was believing you.
<Wind> I'm sorry.
<Snipe> <Cran> You're partially right, partially wrong. Cran is a part of me. He makes up part of my collective.
<Slasher> Of course. What other way to know thy enemy?
<Snipe> <Cran> I am every enemy you have ever faced.
<Ariel> You don't need to appologise.
<Snipe> <Cran> There is nothing any of you can do to stop me.
<Slasher> Then why arrange this meeting?
<Snipe> <Cran> Because I LIKE you, Slasher. You got spunk.
* Dias begins walking up the long road towards the McCormicks royal palace
<Slasher> Flattery will get you everywhere with me Cran.
<Snipe> <Cran> You know as well as I do none of you are strong enough. I fought Wind to a standstill and didn't break a sweat.
<Wind> It's like the energy is getting harder to control....
* Wind sighs, clenching his fist and forces it back down.
<Slasher> If there's something you should have realized by now Atheos, is that the spirit knows no boundaries.
<Snipe> <Cran> But the body is most limited.
<Slasher> Merely a hurdle that one needs to learn how to hop over. I've seen friends and foes push themselves past what there body was 'limited' to doing.
<Snipe> <Cran> I wonder what they will do when they find your dead body.
* Ariel stops, "...what else can you tell?"
<Slasher> If I die here, it'll only give them one more thing to push themselves towards jumping that hurdle Atheos. Are you willing to sign your own death receipt?
<Wind> It's hard to explain. It's like it's growing more and more. Ever since we fought Theos.
* Dias walks closer to the house
<Snipe> <Cran> I can never die, Slasher. As cliched as the old saying goes, "as long as there is evil...."
<Slasher> There's hope.
<Snipe> <Cran> *laughs*
* Snipe looks over at Dias
<Snipe> Come to join the retirement party?
<Dias> Far from it John.
* Slasher drops his hands from their crosses position
<Snipe> <Cran> I really DO like you, Slasher. *raises his hand*
<Alicia> <Michiru> You're going to fight, then?
<Slasher> It's a shame the feeling isn't mutual.
* Cran has joined #taw
* Cran appears in front of Slasher and punches him through the wall.
* Slasher slams through the wall and into the hallway
* Ariel nods slowly, remembering Theos' comment.
* Slasher rolls along it hallway
<Ariel> (Er, Atheos' comment)
<Dias> John...I think we need to trim your fat.
* Cran leaps through the hall, breaking a secretary's neck. Everyone else runs out screaming.
<Snipe> I'm not fat.
* Cran lifts his head, as if he senses something.
* Wind did taht
* Slasher pushes himself up, coughing
<Cran> Phasing isn't working today.
* Cran kicks Slasher in the head, sending him bouncnig down the hallway.
<Ariel> Hm?
* Slasher bounces along the hallway, blood appearing on his forehead
<Cran> Look at it like this, my boy.
<Cran> You'll be a maryter for the cause.
<Wind> Something feels wrong.
<Dias> I hope you're not ready to give up already.
* Slasher pushes himself to his feet
<Ariel> What sort of wrong?
<Wind> Atheos sort of wrong. But I don't know where.
<Snipe> Oh, I've already hit the final bell man. We've reached our limits.
<Dias> Then we're going to have to raise the bar.
* Cran slams his foot down on Slasher's back
<Cran> No getting up.
* Slasher slams onto the floor
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... I guess you can't help me train, too? I.. want to help...
<Snipe> She's young. You should train her.
* Slasher plants his hands against the floor
* Cran leans forward, resting his elbow on his knees.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I'm not much of a physical fighter, but I have my own strengths
<Cran> You know, your woman didn't even have a soul to claim when she died.
* Slasher struggles to push himself up
* Cran raises his hand, aiming it at Slasher.
* Cran charges energy into it.
* Ariel clothes her eyes, trying to sense out for a large ammount of evil.
<Slasher> Atleast you won't be able to take hers then...*releases Chi into the floor, destroyign it from underneath him
* Cran falls with Slasher onto the next level, breaking through a table.
<Cran> Valient.
<Snipe> GM: *ARiel can sense evil somewhere, but it's like it can't be locked down on*
<Slasher> Thanks...*flips himself up and slides into a fighting stance*
<Ariel> *rubs her head* He's invented spiritual ECM.
* Dias walks upto Snipe and shoves him
* Cran forms a tiny speck of energy
<Cran> This tiny speck could destroy this entire building if it touches ANYthing.
* Snipe falls out of the swing
<Snipe> What the hell!?
<Dias> Are you that quick to let everyone die?
* Slasher eyes the speck
* Snipe stands up, rubbing his shoulder
<Snipe> Dude, the others can handle it from here.
<Slasher> But then where's the fun in torturing me?
<Cran> GM: *the tiny speck zooms at Slasher*
<Cran> The fun is in the agony of the others.
* Wind growls
<Wind> Where could he be!?
* Slasher throws up a shield of Chi
<Snipe> GM: *the speck runs into it and explodes. The entire building blows up*
* Cran stands there as the smoke clears, debris scattered everyone, along with bodies.
<Cran> You aliiiive?
* Ariel trys to sense other fluctuating life signs or energy...
<Snipe> GM: *Ariel senses something in Mega City*
* Slasher pushes himself out of some debris, his clothes torn and ragged
<Cran> Poor performance,
<Ariel> *opens her eyes* I think he's in Megacity.
* Wind nods, touching Ariel's shoulder and teleporting them both to the city, a few meters behind Slashetr.
<Wind> Cran?!
<Cran> Oh. It looks like we have guests.
* Snipe stands up, eyeing Dias.
* Dias looks at him
* Slasher turns, blood running down his face
<Cran> You seem positively bubbling with energy, DS.
<Wind> Atheos.
* Slasher forms a ball of Chi and hurls it at Atheos
* Cran is hit and winces in pain.
<Cran> Not bad.
<Ariel> ...I'm noticing he likes to take the form of people who regularly get their asses kicked.
* Wind runs at Cran and punches him, only to be reflected away
<Wind> ARGh
* Wind slams into a building.
* Slasher dashes across the debris towards Cran
<Cran> Tisk tisk. It seems this form is disagreeable to you.
* Cran looks at Slasher
* Ariel halfports past Cran, slashing with her energy charged sword.
<Cran> Oh please.
* Cran is slashed, grabbing his arm in pain.
<Cran> Not bad, bitch.
* Cran is now known as Sigma`
* Sigma` transforms.
* Slasher flings two Chi-balls at Cran as he grabs his arms
* Sigma` isn't hurt and Slasher is reflected away.
<Sigma`> Humans. Fragile, weak creatures.
* Slasher is flung back and slides across the rubble
* Wind gets up.
<Ariel> ...still with the punching bags?
<Sigma`> You're welcome to try again, Ariel.
* Alicia has left #TAW
<Slasher> Ariel...*coughs*
<Sigma`> I positively desire you to.
<Ariel> Mmm... you can count on it. *tosses her sword up into the air*
<Wind> Why can't I hurt him...
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
<Alicia> NRP: Stupid keyboard
* Sigma` runs at Ariel.
* Ariel slides one foot back, waiting...
* Sigma` rears back for a punch.
<Slasher> I believe....*wipes blood from his mouth* for the same reason you couldn't hurt...*coughs* Cran.
* Wind dashes after Sigam.
* Ariel ports up into the air three feet, kicking Sigma in the back of the head.
<Sigma`> GM: *Ariel is blasted back by some barrier*
<Sigma`> Oh dear. It seems the tables have turned.
* Wind punches Sigma in the head.
* Sigma` falls back.
* Ariel stumbles back.
<Sigma`> Heh heh.
<Sigma`> HA HA HAH A
<Sigma`> This little experiment was fun
<Sigma`> Until next time.
* Sigma` teleports.
* Sigma` has left #taw
<Wind> Dammit!
* Slasher falls to his knees
* Ariel winces as she stands up, her sword vanishing out of existance.
* Wind moves over to Ariel and Slasher
<Wind> Are you two okay?
<Ariel> *rubs her head* Don't tell me he can for selective shielding...
* Dias shoves Snipe
<Snipe> H-hey!
<Slasher> ...No I'm not.
<Snipe> Stop that!
<Wind> I couldn't touch him when he was Cran...
<Dias> Or what? You're gonna sit down and cry about it?
* Snipe rolls his eyes and punches Dias in the nose
* Dias throws his hand up to block and grab the punch.
* Snipe has a second punch going for Dias' stomach.
<Slasher> Maybe with each soul that's part of his collective...comes their weakness.
* Dias tenses his stomach, letting the punch slam into it
<Wind> I don't get it. I should be able to hurt Cran.
* Dias then swings the Snipes hand to the side and returns a punch
<Ariel> *rotates her shoulder* I could hurt Sigma last I checked too...
* Snipe knocks it aside and kicks at Dias' stomach, trying to knock him off his porch.
<Ariel> ...but I've never killed Sigma.
<Wind> And I never killed Cran.
<Slasher> I have in a way tho.
<Ariel> Damn... if that's it, let's hope he sticks to people we've fought.
* Slasher looks at the two
* Dias hops back and kicks outwards, planting his foot against Snipe's
<Snipe> Dammit, Dias, this isn't cool.
* Snipe swings back.
<Dias> Either is having to watch you mope.
* Dias flips backwards off the porch
* Snipe runs off the porch and lands on the ground.
<Wind> We should get you to a doctor, Slasher.
<Slasher> It seems we have ourselves a battle plan now...*turns towards the rubble*
* Ariel coughs.
<Wind> Are you okay? *he asks Ariel*
<Slasher> I'm fine...But they aren't..
* Slasher looks at the rubble once again
* Dias slides into a fighting stance
<Snipe> <McCabe> *stands off to the side, looking at his builing*
* Ariel pulls the scanner from her medkit, checking on Slasher's condition.
<Dias> You said you could beat me one day Snipe...Here's your chance.
<Snipe> This isn't the time for games.
<Dias> This isn't a game Snipe.
* Snipe narrows his eyes
<Snipe> What's that suppose to mean?
<Dias> That I'm sticking with what's worked in the past.
<Snipe> This is ridiculous.
* Dias begins to slide towards Snipe
* Snipe stands there stubbornly.
<Dias> NRP: Dias: I'm only doing what the title of the session says.
<Snipe> NRP: LOL
* Dias pokes his left foot into the ground and kicks a rock at Snipe's chest
* Snipe lets it bounce off
<Snipe> We shouldn't fight in front of my kid.
<Dias> Then let us go somewhere more suitable.
<Snipe> I'm not leaving my kid, either.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I might learn something.. though, I still worry
* Snipe gives Dias a victory smile, then turns his back to him.
* Dias plants his feet and launches himself at Snipe, going for a spinning kick
* Snipe is hit in the back, falling to the ground
<Snipe> You...ASS...hole.
* Snipe flips up and throws punches at Dias' face.
* Dias hops backwards and waits, his hands up
* Dias throws his hands up, knocking the punches to the side or stopping them
* Snipe stands there, just looking annoyed.
* Dias lunges forward throwing several jabs and a wide right hook
* Snipe knocks them to the side effortlessly, then avoids the last one.
* Dias spins around, going into a spin kick at Snipe's shoulder
* Snipe throws his hands up to take the impact instead.
<Snipe> This isn't going anywhere. I'm not some lame villian.
* Dias holds the foot against Snipe's side then swings his body around, bring his other foot up and over towards Snipe's head
* Snipe tilts his head to let the foot pass by mere centimeters
* Dias swings it fully around then plants it back onto the ground
* Snipe stands there, then removes his glasses, tossing them to Michuri
* Dias drops his other leg and hops backwards
* Snipe pops his neck, then raises his hands into the air, clenching them shut
* Wind spins around
<Alicia> <Michiru> *catches the glasses telekinetically*
<Wind> I'm sensing a power level going off the scales.
<Slasher> Where?
<Snipe> Alright, Dias. Lets play.
<Wind> A few miles away from here.
<Dias> That's how you're going to play?
* Snipe blurs and throws a right hook at Dias' face.
* Dias is caught by the right hook and spins from the blow
* Snipe leaps up into the air and comes down for a hammerblow as Dias spins.
* Dias is hammer blowed into the ground, he bounces off it
* Snipe runs forward and goes for a kick as Dias is bounced up.
* Dias twists his body as he bounces and punches at Snipe's foot
<Wind> There's a fight going on, I'm sure of it. Someone's in trouble.
* Snipe has his foot knocked off course.
<Slasher> Few miles in which direction?
* Wind nods in the direction he senses them
<Slasher> That's the McCormicks residence...
<Wind> ......
* Dias uses the force from the punch to push him away, he moves back to his feet
* Snipe runs and leaps over Dias, coming behind him
<Alicia> <Michiru> .oO(I'm not going to give up...)
* Dias flips upwards and backwards in an attempt to pop in behind Snipe and punch him in the back
<Slasher> Lets go...
* Wind grabs Slasher, then Ariel, then teleports them onto the porch
* Snipe is punched, stepping forward. He whirls around to backhand Dias
* Slasher head snaps to the side from the backhand, sending him to the side
<Slasher> NRP: Doh.
* Dias head snaps to the side from the backhand, sending him to the side
* Snipe runs at Dias and rams into him, trying to smash him right into a tree.
<Wind> What in the HELL are those two DOING?
* Dias is rammed into the tree, a cracking noise is heard as the trunk fractures from the force
* Snipe grabs the tree, straining, the veins in his neck popping out. He lifts it and smashes it down at Dias
<Garland> Dias appearantly wasn't happy with John being docile as a hindu cow.
* Dias rolls to the side, letting the tree slam into the ground
* Wind turns to look at Garland.
* Snipe lets go of the tree and punches at Dias' head.
* Dias plants his hands, launching himself onto his feet, he swings around and throws a full force punch at him
* Garland glances back.
<Slasher> Makes sense.
* Snipe lets his fist connect with Dias'.
<Wind> They're expending valuable energy.
* Dias throws his other fist at Snipes
* Garland shrugs.
* Snipe swings his hand around and grabs Dias' fist
<Garland> There's no help to be found, at any rate.
* Dias opens both his palms and grabs onto Snipe's hands, he plants his feet and starts to push against Snipe
<Wind> Atheos tried to kill Slasher earlier.
* Snipe pushes against Dias, grinding his feet into the ground.
<Snipe> HAPPY...NOW?
* Dias begins to lose ground, the dirt digging around him
<Dias> NOT...YET!
* Snipe steps forward, digging his foot in.
* Dias begins sliding back more
* Dias 's everye muscle on his body begins to tense up as they struggle to hold Snipe back
* Snipe slides into a deadlock.
* Dias eye's go narrow as the air wavers around him
<Dias> NOW....IT'S...TIME!
* Dias 's form wavers and changes
* Dias is now known as DarkHeart
* Snipe raises his knee to ram it into Dias' chin
<Snipe> Like HELL.
<Alicia> <Michiru> They're trying to push their limits... I should too..
<Garland> He failed?
<Wind> He seemed content with just blowing up a building and leaving.
* DarkHeart stops pushing and uses the momentum to throw Snipe backwards
<Slasher> ...That was my fault...
<Garland> Well that's promising.
* Snipe flips backwards and lands.
* DarkHeart flips onto his hands and then over again onto his feet
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks around for something to try and levitate, or something*
<Snipe> GM: *a cat floats in the air. IT meows*
<Snipe> You know, Dias, there has been one thing I've been perfecting.
* DarkHeart thrusts his left hand forward, throwing a Dark Matter Beam at Snipe
<Garland> I did however recover the artifacts.
* Snipe is hit and slides along the ground, wincing.
<Slasher> What Artifacts?
<Wind> The spear. The ark. And the grail.
<Wind> Correct?
<Garland> All three.
* Snipe raises his hand and cancels out DH mode.
* Slasher nods
* DarkHeart form wavers once again
* DarkHeart is now known as Dias
* Garland glances back to Snipe and Dias.
<Dias> ...*smiles*
* Snipe stands up.
<Alicia> <Michiru> .oO(O..kay...) *levitates the cat around a bit, before letting it down to the ground*
<Snipe> GM: *the cat runs away*
<Garland> He's been prerfecting a way to pull Dias out of his transformed state? How... useless except for this one time when they fight.
<Dias> How long can you hold that up tho? *dashes forward at Snipe, going for a shoulder tackle*
* Snipe sweats, obviously straining
<Alicia> <Michiru> I think I just learnt to scare cats.
* Wind laughs despite himself.
* Snipe leaps into the air
* Snipe throws his hand backwards and cancels out Wind's hyperspace energy.
* Dias slides under Snipe
<Snipe> Now for the fun.
* Snipe strains, trying to keep both of them down.
* Garland glances to Wind.
<Wind> What...the hell?! *looks down*
<Garland> Welcome back to Earth, "Wind."
* Dias twists around, sliding for a few feet, he then runs at Snipe once again
* Snipe jerks his hands back around and hits Dias with hyperspace energy and DS with DH power.
* Wind is knocked into the swing
* Snipe falls to his knees, exhausted
* Dias is knocked backwards, he slides across the ground
* Wind crackles with energy as it returns. He pushes himself up, angry.
* Garland folds his arms.
<Garland> Are we done here?
<Snipe> I think so.
* Dias flips to his feet, his entire body full of dirt
<Snipe> I just need...some energy...
* Snipe pants.
* Dias begins dusting himself off
<Snipe> Or do you want more ass kicking?
* Snipe stands finally.
<Dias> I'm always up for an ass-kicking.
<Snipe> Feh.
<Wind> ....
<Wind> We need to find Atheos.
* Dias cracks a smile
* Snipe looks positively drained.
<Dias> Let's get you something to eat.
* Dias starts walking towards the house
<Snipe> Alright
* Snipe walks past Garland and Wind, walking into his house
<Snipe> EM! I need food!
* Wind stares at the two
* Dias throws his arm over Snipe's shoulder as he walks in
<Garland> He's done something that's only useful if it works on Satan. Fun.
* Slasher watches the two walk in
<Slasher> I believe it'll be more useful than you think Garland.
<Garland> Oh shut Slasher. You don't know anything.
* Garland shoots a piercing glance.
<Wind> Just like old times. *He comments, glancing at Slasher and Garland*
<Garland> NRP: *shut up
<Alicia> <Michiru> Except this time, I'm here.
* Slasher waves his hands at Garland in dis-care
<Snipe> GM: *the sky begins to darken*
* Slasher looks up
* Wind looks upward.
<Slasher> I believe it's time...
* Garland shakes his head.
* Voice has joined #Taw
<Voice> People of Earth!
<Voice> The end of days has come! The gates of hell are opening as we speak!
<Voice> But there is yet a chance for you to live! Unleash the evils in your heart!
<Voice> Kill thy neighbors! Bare false witness against one another.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... does he believe anyone will actually listen?
* Slasher looks at Garland
<Slasher> Isn't this your department?
<Garland> The first one seems more evil. *quirks his brow*
<Voice> And most of all: prepare for way for the new kingdom that I shall rule for eternity.
* Wind listens.
* Garland points a finger at Slasher and grins.
<Voice> And the so called champions of Earth. I await your eager arrival.
<Voice> We can't lay claim to the universe without a proper fight, now can we?
<Voice> You have one day to finish your preparations. And tomorrow --- tomorrow we end this.
<Slasher> You're welcome to try anytime.
* Voice has left #Taw
* Snipe munches on a sandwich
<Snipe> I do believe he threw down the glove.
* Dias takes a big bite out of leg of chicken
<Alicia> NRP: Atheos> Unleash the evils in your heart! <Michiru> *turns catgon and flies around Slasher*
* Wind looks strange
* Dias looks at Snipe
<Dias> Atleast it wasn't a low blow.
* Slasher eyes Wind out of the corner of his eye
<Slasher> You going to be ok Star?
<Wind> Perfectly okay.
<Dias> Atleast we have a day to eat.
<Snipe> And train.
<Dias> Oh so now you're ready to train?
* Wind crackles with energy.
<Snipe> Definitely.
<Wind> Tomorrow. *he teleports*
* Wind has left #Taw
<Dias> Good, because you've right hooks are weak...*rubs his chin*
<Garland> Such a wonderfully cohesive team. Just like old times.
<Alicia> <Michiru> What's up with him?
* Slasher looks over to Ariel
<Slasher> So do we get to have sex one last time? Just in case we don't make it out of this?
* Dias finishes the chicken leg and tosses the bone in the garbage
<Dias> This'll be just like when I put you through that icey hell training.
* Snipe rolls his eyes
<Alicia> <Michiru> *gives Slasher a nasty look* ...
* Retrieving #taw modes...
<Dias> And I'll come out on top...Once again...*pulls out another piece of chicken from the fridge and begins munching on it*
* Snipe is now known as DeathStar
* Ariel looks down.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* Garland stands quietly on the porch, looking at the sky, brooding quietly.
<Garland> NRP: - the extra quietly, I'm sleep deprived the past few days.
<Slasher> Take that as a now.
<Slasher> NRP: The undead don't sleep.
<Slasher> NRP: No. not now.
* DeathStar changes topic to 'Session 239: End of Daysl (1 of 2) - The final battle is about to begin. The team learns where Atheos is operating, but they must fight their way straight to the bowels of hell to get to him. And the legions of hell aren't about to make it an easier journey. Plus, one among them might find a quest'
<Alicia> NRP: FOR THE HOLY GRAIL
