* Garland has joined #taw
<Snipe> Location: McCormick Residence
<Snipe> Narrator: After Atheos' little challenge, a day passed and we all prepared the best we could. But, time ran out on us ... and the day arrived. We all decided to meet at my place
* Snipe stands on his front porch, not wearing his glasses for once. He rubs his nose, glancing at Dias.
* Colephantus stands towards the back, crossed arms, and leaning against the wall. Just like if he was in his man body.
<Colephantus> NRP: Ok not the back. the left side of the porch.
* Dias leans against the porch railing, his eyes staring into space
<Ariel> <Strife> *is lounging about like he hasn't a care in the world*
<Snipe> GM: *the sky crackles with lightning, the dark clouds covering the earth. A cold wind blows by.*
<Snipe> A cold day in hell indeed.
* Slasher comes walking down the road leading upto the McCormicks residence, a bag slung over his shoulder
<Alicia> <Michiru> Maybe hell's freezing over?
<Colephantus> So. We gonna do this or what?
<Dias> Nope, we've changed our minds.
<Ariel> <Strife> *glances over at Cole* Hey, babe, get me a beer?
<Colephantus> Fuck with me and I will stab you.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Well, I'm sure someone said it'll be a cold day in hell before Dias gives up
<Ariel> <Strife> I just wanted a beer... but if you're after something more intimate too, I think that can be arranged.
* Dias chuckles to himself
* Garland crosses his arms, leaning against the wall.
* Colephantus ignites his beam saber and holds it to Strife's neck. I'm not joking. I will gut you here.
<Colephantus> ""
<Alicia> <Terra> *wanders in*
* Slasher steps up onto the porch
<Slasher> Drop it Cole.
<Ariel> <Strife> You're cute when you're angry.
<Snipe> GM: *A shuttle comes flying in and lands in front of them*
* Snipe turns to look at the shuttle.
* Colephantus eyes Slasher and jut steps off the porch walking away from the group.
* Wind lowers the shuttle ramp and steps down it, eyeing everyone.
* Slasher without turning to face Wind1 "Did you find his new kingdom?"
<Wind> Not yet.
<Alicia> <Terra> Any leads?
<Ariel> <Strife> 6sighs and gets up, going to retrieve a brew from the fridge, since SOMEONE wouldn't get one for him.
<Wind> I'm sure he'll make himself known. I'm going to take to the skies and look for the signs of the end of the world.
* Snipe hops off his porch.
* Colephantus steps back over to them. "I'll go too."
* Garland looks over to Wind.
* Snipe walks over to the shuttle, then up the ramp. He pats Wind on the back and gets in a seat.
* Colephantus brushes past Wind as he enters the shuttle as well.
* Dias flips backwards off the railing and lands on his feet, he turn's around and walks towards the shuttle
* Garland moves over to the shuttle and looks to Wind as he steps on, "Ever feel like a soccer mom?"
* Slasher hops off the porch and steps towards the shuttle
<Wind> Mm.
<Ariel> <Strife> *gets on the shuttle, sitting in Cole's lap*
* Dias steps onto the shuttle, his hands in his pockets
* Slasher smiles slightly as he walks past Wind and onto the shuttle
* Colephantus throws him off.
* Ariel laughs a little at the mental image brought on by the 'soccer mom' comment
<Colephantus> If you don't leave me alone I will kill you. No jokes.
* Wind turns to look at everyone, old and new alike. He smirks warmly.
<Ariel> <Strife> I bet you say that to all the cute protometalsomethinglike that people.
<Alicia> <Terra> *gets on the shuttle, glaring at Strife*
<Slasher> You would look good driving a mini-van Star.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *follows Terra on*
<Wind> Thank you, Slasher. But I think that would make you the bum who never amounted to anything.
* Wind hits the ramp close button.
<Slasher> I could only wish.
* _Trunks_ has quit IRC (Quit: lata)
* Snipe leans back.
<Ariel> I dread to think about what that'd make ME.
* Klitz is now known as Granji-BBT
* Wind walks over to the pilot's seat, sitting down. He adjusts his headset, then lifts the shuttle into the air.
* Wind pushes the controls forward and begins to zoom across the planet's surface.
<Snipe> Well, I suppose this is our final battle. I mean, where can we go from here, right guys?
<Alicia> <Michiru> I'm kinda surprised mom didn't come along.
<Garland> It doesn't matter what we do, as long as no one makes the statment "I'd follow you to the depths of hell."
* Slasher swings his bag to his front and opens it, pulling out several medical devices
<Snipe> I wouldn't follow you guys into hell, that's for sure.
<Dias> Not even for a Lactole Bar?
<Garland> It's nice this time of year. *looks at Snipe*
<Snipe> The dead of winter?
<Garland> Mm.
* Wind frowns, reaching over as a transmission begins to come through.
* Slasher tosses one to Ariel, Cole, Dias, Michiru, Terra, Strife and Snipe
<Wind> GM: *a static filled messaged comes in, filled with dark laughter*
* Snipe is hit in the face.
* Dias grabs it
<Alicia> NRP: *is tempted to, if allowed, bring in Hotaru later*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *catches hers* For me?
* Colephantus watches it bounce off of his breast, and then he catches it. "....That hurts."
<Slasher> It's all I could get my hands on with the chaos going on. There's top of the line one time uses.
<Snipe> Well, the creepy laughter reminds me of doom. What about you guys?
* Slasher pulls out a needle and some thread and tosses it to Garland
<Slasher> Incase a body part falls off.
<Alicia> <Terra> Reminds me of... that movie with the evil clown.
<Wind> Alright, the shuttle locked onto the transmission's source. It's like he wants us to come in.
* Dias pockets it
* Wind pushes the boosters inward, sending the shuttle flying quickly across the land.
<Slasher> Where's the location at Star?
<Wind> A spot of land no one inhabits anymore.
* Garland looks at Slasher for a moment.
* Slasher tosses the bag back over his shoulder and leans against the shuttle war
* Wind brings up a map, showing a location in what would be, in current day, Mexico.
<Garland> I'd probably do better without a body at this rate.
<Slasher> God even in death you can't laugh at a joke.
<Garland> It has to be funny for me to laugh.
<Snipe> GM: *lightning streaks from the sky, hitting the earth, as if trying to tear the planet apart*
<Slasher> Looks like you picked a body that doesn't have a funny bone.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... why do I suddenly miss Ire and Sil...?
* Snipe looks at Slasher and Garland bicker.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... Still?!
* Garland glares at Slasher a moment "You try to be lighthearted when your kid's soul is gone."
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, the entire shuttle rocks as something hits it from underneath*
* Slasher hands jerks up to the railing grabbing onto it
<Snipe> OUF!
* Snipe grabs his chair
* Dias grabs onto his chair
* Wind grabs the controls, looking confused. He looks at the radar, seeing nothing.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *holds on tight*
<Ariel> ...what did we hit?
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly the shuttle jerks to halt, the ceiling crunching inward, as if in the grip of giant claws.*
* Snipe looks out the window.
<Snipe> Holeeee...
* Colephantus lays his hand on his saber.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...do I want to know?
<Snipe> GM: *a giant dragon has the shuttle in it's claws. It flaps it's wings, flying upward into the sky*
<Snipe> No...no you really don't.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... okay, someone is taking the piss...
* Wind grabs the controls, trying to get the dragon to let go. He succeeds in nothing.
* Dias looks out the window behind him, seeing the dragon
* Ariel looks out the window and doubletakes
<Snipe> GM: *the dragons soars higher and higher, up toward the dark, black clouds*
<Wind> I can't get it to let go.
<Colephantus> Think we could teleport out or something?
<Wind> I'm not losing the shuttle THAT easily.
<Alicia> <Terra> Some of us can't teleport... I can fly, though.
<Colephantus> ....Shoot it then?
<Snipe> Great. So, who here has a dragon slaying sword?
* Colephantus checks his sword just for shits and giggles.
<Ariel> <Strife> *quickly etches 'Dragon slayer' on Cole's sword*
<Snipe> GM: *the dragon, since they are taking so long, bites out the engines, then drops the shuttle*
* Colephantus glances at Strife. Then grabs the seat, feeling the free fall.
<Alicia> <Terra> *floats, holding onto her seat* I'd evacuate and fly, but...
<Dias> Looks like he got bored.
* Wind growls, trying to keep the shuttle from plummeting like a brick.
<Snipe> Well, I think this is it, folks!
<Colephantus> Star. We've lost the shuttle.
<Wind> Thank you for telling me that.
* Colephantus smiles.
<Snipe> <Ensign Obvious> That's my line.
<Garland> Our only option is to tame and ride the dragon.
<Ariel> ...when did HE get here?
* Snipe stares at Garland.
<Colephantus> Everyone grab onto either Star or me. And...*looks to Obvious* Who the hell are you?
<Slasher> He's up there and we're falling below him Garland.
<Garland> Details.
* Garland teleports.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *grabs DS*
* Wind unbuckles himself, then grabs Ariel
<Alicia> <Terra> *grabs Cole*
* Snipe grabs Michiru
* Colephantus grabs Strife by the throat. And glances around.
<Alicia> <Terra> ...
* Slasher grabs onto Cole's shoulder
<Ariel> <Strife> Awww... I feel so loved.
* Colephantus places a foot on Dias.
* Dias stands up and places his hand on Cole's shoulder
* Wind teleports to the ground.
* Colephantus closes his eyes and then teleports to the ground.
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle falls through the air and then smashes into the ground*
* Colephantus lets go of Strife, allowing him to fall to the ground.
<Alicia> <Terra> *does her best to catch Strife*
* Slasher looks around
* Dias lets go of Cole and eyes the surrounding area
<Wind> Well, we're a couple of thousand miles off target.
* Garland spins the spear of destiny, jabbing it down at the Dragon's back.
<Snipe> Dragon: *roars and flies around, biting at Garland like a pathetic insect*
* Snipe looks up in the sky
<Snipe> Is he...fighting a dragonj?
<Dias> Apparently.
<Colephantus> Yep....*looks on*
* Garland does what he can to dodge the bites, jabbing it in deeper.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... wow. Go Garland...
<Snipe> Dragon: *roars, it's tongue flickering out. It breathes fire at Garland*
* Slasher pulls out his datapad from his backpocket and begins typing on it
<X1> NRP: <Wiendigo> Meh, I fought a T-Rex once!
<Ariel> ...I don't think that's really nessisary, but...
* Garland fires a blast at the dragonfire, leaping upward towards it's mouth and thrusts the spear in.
<Snipe> Dragon: *falls out of the sky, falling right toward the others on the ground*
* Wind glances up.
<Slasher> Everyone move now...*starts running backwards as he types on it
<Alicia> <Terra> RUN! *dashes away*
* Dias begins sprinting away
<Snipe> GM: *everyone is teleported 2 seconds before the dragon smashes into the ground*
<Snipe> GM: *they reappear on the Emerald Flag Ship*
* Garland looks around.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... okay... that's new.
<Garland> Rather... anti clamatic.
<Snipe> What the!?
* Colephantus arches a brow.
* Slasher types several commands on his datapad
<Slasher> Be prepared.
<Ariel> <Strife> Um... what just happened?
<Alicia> <Michiru> We got teleported. Try to keep up.
<Snipe> GM: *everyone teleports again and appears in front of a giant pillar of black energy that flies up into the air, along with an unearthed pyramid that was hidden for thousands of years*
<Alicia> <Michiru> And again..
* Slasher flips his datapad closed and pockets it
<Snipe> What the hell is going on?!
<Slasher> I didn't feel like running.
<Ariel> <Strife> Please! Stop changing the channel on the universe!
* Colephantus rubs his hand through his woman, hair. Staring up at the pillar.
* Slasher eyes the pyramid
<Slasher> His kindgom.
* Wind crosses his arms, turning to face the pyramid.
<Alicia> <Terra> As long as it's Slasher who controls the vertical and horizontal, I don't care
<Garland> Like a kid with a remote.
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly another dragon lands in front of them, roaring*
<Alicia> <Terra> ... Another?!
* Snipe slides back.
* Slasher hair flaps backwards as the dragon lands
<Snipe> GM: *in the sky, more creatures of myth circle the sky, like vultures*
* Dias looks upwards
* Garland looks at the dragon.
* Colephantus ignits his Saber and eyes the dragon. Moving to the left.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You know, before today, I always thought dragons were NICE creatures...
* Wind moves to the right.
* Ariel coughs.
* Garland takes the center path, spinning the spear.
<Snipe> Dragon: *opens it's wide mouth and tries to eat Slasher*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks over to Ariel, quizzically*
<Ariel> <Slasher> ...I don't think it's here for tea and crumpets.
* Slasher disappears as the Dragon snaps it's mouth closed
<Snipe> GM: *the dragon eats ground*
* Slasher reappears 30 feet back from the dragon
* Colephantus glances at Garland and Wind. Waiting for the signal.
* Wind eyes the pyramid, then begins to work his way towards it.
* Snipe punches the dragon's tail
<Snipe> HiYA!
<Snipe> Dragon: *smashes Snipe in the ribs with it's tail*
* Slasher begins forming a Chi-Bomb between his hands
* Snipe flies backwards and skids across the rocky ground.
* Garland leaps forward, thrusting the spear forward and firing a beam from it, much as Senreich used it.
<Ariel> *gathers energy* I almost feel like fighting them on their own terms.
* Colephantus runs in and jump up on the swaying tail, running up along the dragon's back. He attempts to stab the saber into its' back.
<Snipe> Dragon: *is hit in the chest, roaring ni anger. It hits Cole with it's tail before he can make it*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *gathers energy too* ... I'll see what I can do...
* Slasher pulls his hands over his heads, then thrusts them forward hurling the Chi-Bomb at it's face
<Snipe> Dragon: *is hit in the face, becoming more angry and breathes fire at everyone*
* Snipe flips to his feet.
* Garland roars, firing a kiama at the Dragon's mouth as fire pours out.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *creates a protective bubble of energy around herself*
* Ariel forms a shield in front of her, letting the fire part around her, then fires an ice blast at the dragon as it stops.
<Snipe> Dragon: *closes it's mouth in confusion, then falls over*
<Alicia> <Terra> *ducks to the floor*
* Colephantus slides across the ground and hops up to his feet.
* Dias wathes the dragon fall over
* Dias starts walking towards the Pyramid
* Slasher begins walking towards the Pyramid
<Alicia> <Terra> *gets to her feet and follows*
<Ariel> <Strife> Well, that was anti-climatic. *follows after Dias*
* Colephantus also begins walking for the Pyramid.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Who cares? *heads for the Pyramid*
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, there's a flapping of thousands of wings in the air*
* Snipe looks up, recognizing that sound with fear.
* Colephantus glances up.
<Snipe> GM: *swarms of thousands of small catgons come swooping in, bearing their tiny mouths up*
<Dias> Run?
<Alicia> <Terra> ... I am getting SICK of this... *runs*
* Dias breaks out into a full sprint
* Snipe runs for the pyramid.
* Colephantus arches a brow and then follows behind Dias.
<Alicia> <Michiru> WHAT THE... STOP TAUNTING ME!!! *rushes after*
<Slasher> HAH! I told you they were the spawn of satan!
* Ariel darts towards the pyramid
* Slasher breaks into a full dash
<Snipe> GM: *they block out the sun like loctus*
<Alicia> <Michiru> SHUT UP, SLASHER!
<Ariel> Slasher, don't make me leave you back there as bait!
* Wind opens the pyramid door, having been working on it the entire time. He turns around, eyeing the evil blight on this land.
<Slasher> Yadi yadi....*continues sprinting*
<Snipe> GM: *the catgons swoop in, trying to pick up the males of the team*
<Alicia> <Terra> Today is NOT my day...
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... selfish little...
* Colephantus is luckily a male in female disquise! AHAHAHA!
<Ariel> <Strife> Gah! *pretends to be a girl*
* Dias leaps spinning around and back-handing one away, he comes full circle and lands, sprinting once again
* Colephantus slides up beside Wind.
* Snipe is grabbed - he decides to shed the coat in order to live a happy life.
* Slasher dashes to the left, letting one slam into the ground
<Ariel> ......
<Colephantus> Yeah these things are sexiful.
* Garland looks up at the Catgons.
<Alicia> <Michiru> DON'T YOU DARE TAKE MY DAD! *fires an psychic blast at the catgon that tried to take Snipe*
* Snipe runs into the pyramid.
* Dias slides into the pyramid behind Snipe
<Snipe> Catgons: *run into each other and falls from the sky*
* Garland bursts into flames, letting loose his years of pent-up rage against the flying pussies.
* Colephantus backs into the Pyramid.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... you know... that does not look a bad idea...
<Snipe> GM: *Garland wipes out the catgons*
* Slasher dashes into the Pyramid
* Garland moves ahead.
<Alicia> <Terra> *follows Slasher and Garland in*
* Wind grabs the stone door and pushes it close after the last one is in.
<Ariel> ...was that supposed to be some sort of joke?
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks over at the fallen catgons with a snobbish look, and heads in*
<Alicia> <Michiru> I am not amused.
* Snipe pants.
<Slasher> A little overkill...
<Colephantus> Really.
<Dias> But effective.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... I thought you hated lunarians?
<Ariel> <Strife> *glances at Cole, then smirks, and turns back to normal*
<Alicia> <Terra> ... thanks Strife...
<Slasher> Hate should a...harsh word. I prefer de..No I hated them.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... bastard.
<Slasher> Blame Sera.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Oh, I do.
<Ariel> <Strife> Huh? Thanks for what?
<Snipe> GM: *the little room they are in seems to be a dead end - there's no exit*
* Ariel sighs a little.
<Alicia> <Terra> Changing back..
* Slasher looks around the room, his eyes adjusting to the darkness
<Ariel> <Strife> What? You don't like me with such a magnificant rack?
* Colephantus glances around the room.
<Colephantus> Must be a switch around here or a hidden door or something
<Alicia> <Terra> ... do I look like a lesbian to EVERYONE...?
* Wind scans the room.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Well.. yeah.
* Slasher slides over to the opposite wall and begins sliding his hand along the wall
<Alicia> <Terra> ... thanks for the vote of confidence...
<Ariel> <Strife> *stays blisfully quiet*
<Dias> I love cubicles...
<Wind> There's a lot of energy underneath us.
<Wind> But I don't see a way down.
* Garland looks to Wind.
* Garland glances back to Terra
<Garland> I don't think so.
<Colephantus> Garland can make a way down right?
<Garland> But I'm dead, so...
* Garland looks to Cole.
<Alicia> <Terra> *smiles* Well.. at least that's one person.
<Snipe> Hmmm
<Snipe> I could try.
* Slasher turns looking down at the floor, studying it
<Colephantus> What? Your good at all that bustin up stuff.
* Colephantus crosses his arms.
* Snipe slaps his hands together, rubbing them together. He punches the ground. Nothing happens, until he yelps in pain, grabbing his hand
<Alicia> <Terra> .. explosives?
<Slasher> Not in this contained space.
<Alicia> <Terra> Makes things a little harder, yeah..
* Colephantus ignites his saber and pushes it into the ground, trying to cut a hole out.
<Snipe> GM: *the floor isn't hurt*
* Colephantus sighs.
<Colephantus> Well I can't cut through it.
<Ariel> <Strife> Um... opensesme?
<Snipe> Look, if the asshole wants a big battle with us, why the hell can't we get down1?
* Granji-BBT is now known as Granji-Sleep
<Alicia> <Michiru> Unless this is a... trap...
* Slasher looks up at the cieling, studyingi t
* Colephantus walks along the walls, feeling for a switch.
* Dias leans his back against a wall
<Snipe> GM: *A click is heard behind Dias and the floor opns*
<Snipe> GM: *a stairway is revealed*
<Alicia> <Terra> Where careful planning fails, fools luck succeeds?
<Ariel> <Strife> ...dud, you are a GOD.
<Snipe> I hate you
* Dias looks at the floor
* Colephantus slowly walks down the steps.
<Dias> Must be my irish luck.
<Alicia> <Terra> If anyone's irish, it's me.
* Slasher starts walking down the stairs
* Garland heads down.
<Dias> I'm not even Irish.
<Snipe> GM: *the stairs lead to a room - and they're not alone*
* Dias pushes his back off the wall and starts walking down the stairs
* Wind walks down the stairs slowly.
<Snipe> GM: *the dimly lit room has someone else in the shadows*
* Colephantus eyes the inhabitants of the room.
<Colephantus> NRP: Inhabitant.
* Ariel takes up the rear.
* Snipe takes up Ariel's rear.
<Snipe> Who's there?
* kaos` has quit IRC (Quit: ...hmm...)
* Slasher slides into a fighting stance, not ready to let his guard down
<Snipe> GM: *The exit is on the other side - but the person in the shadows blocks their progress*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *stays beside Snipe*
* Kio walks out from the shadows, with a look of insanity upon his face..his eyes are glowing a deep red as he looks upon the party..his knuckles snapping as he readies himself
* Wind scans the room, then narrows his eyes
* Dias walks into the room and looks around, his eyes instantly adjusting to the darkness
<Wind> Kio. The evil must have taken root in him.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... Oh, this is gonna be fun...
* Colephantus leans his head back. Staring at Kio.
<Ariel> <Strife> Been looking forward to this?
<Garland> Insane or not, he's still just Kio.
<Slasher> Come to fufill your deepest fantasies Kio?
<Colephantus> Don't let your guard down. Atheos could have powered him.
<Alicia> <Terra> I know.
<Snipe> Maaaan
<Dias> This guy? The guy who got the shit kicked out of him? He's gonna stop us?
<Wind> ....
<Alicia> <Terra> Oh, he'll probably turn into a horrible demon or something.
* Colephantus glances at Dias.
<Alicia> <Terra> Then we'll kill him.
<Ariel> <Strife> Can we just ignore him?
<Wind> No redemption in your bones?
<Kio> ..... 2He looks back at the entrance..before sending a powerful green blast at the door..to cause it collpase behind him.
<Colephantus> Well then go kick his ass. Since you can. *a bit of a smirk is at the edge of his lip*
* Wind eyes the gruop.
<Garland> ...
<Wind> The evil has been stirring in everyone's hearts since Atheos rules. Kio made poor choices and it has a grip on him.
<Alicia> <Terra> What, you're not going to help?
* Snipe eyes the entrance going up
<Snipe> Oh shit.
<Garland> Then he's yours to deal with, Wind.
* Wind slides in front of Kio
<Alicia> <Terra> Yeah, have fun bringing him down without killing him
<Garland> The rest of us should continue forward.
* Colephantus crosses his arms. Waiting for the fight between Kio and Wind.
<Slasher> NRP: Wasn't it just blown up?
<Dias> You got this yourself Star?
<Colephantus> NRP: We can move the rocks ya know.
<Wind> I'll be fine.
<Dias> NRP: Takes awhle.
<Garland> NRP: The entrance was blown... you mean that was the only door?
* Kio looks upon wind..with a grin.
<Snipe> NrP: There's an exit, too, to go onward
* Garland heads onward.
* Colephantus continues along with Garland.
* Snipe slides toward the exit
<Alicia> <Michiru> *follows Snipe*
<Colephantus> Don't let your guard down Star.
<Wind> Kio. Fight the evil.
* Slasher starts walking towards the way on
* Dias walks towards the exit
<Snipe> GM: *the next room reveals a huge elevator pad*
* Snipe steps up to the elevator pad, then onto it
<Snipe> What the hell?
<Alicia> NRP: *is everyone EXCEPT Wind moving on?*
<Colephantus> NRP: Yes.
<Snipe> NRP: Seems that way.
<Ariel> <Strife> *heads towards the elevator*
<Kio> 14"..." 2He walks torward Wind..twitching violently as he pulls out a pair of blades..and immediatly lunges forward him, attempting to strike him hard across the chest
<Slasher> This is out of place for a temple of this age...
<Alicia> <Michiru> *follows Snipe on*
* Wind grabs Kio's arms, then turns and slams him into the wall roughly
* Ariel stays behind, watching from the sidelines.
<Wind> You're a fighter. Do you choose to go down like a dog or a man?
* Slasher steps onto the elevator
* Dias hops onto the elevator
<Alicia> <Terra> Have fun, Wind! *follows Strife* ... Oh, not again...
<Garland> There's... an elevator?
<Snipe> This makes no sense...
<Alicia> <Terra> ... yeah... it REALLY doesn't look good for us.
<Slasher> Unless this was one left behind by the Motenks.
<Colephantus> We still need to continue on.
<Snipe> How do we activate it?
* Kio immediatly kicks his legs forward, trying to wrap his legs around wind neck. Is successful, he pushes off the wall in an effort to bring wind down under his weight, his hands coming down in a rapid blur of motion, attempting to collide with winds face over and over
<Slasher> Much like the temple in Africa that housed the first Caveat Emptor machine.
<Ariel> <Strife> Dude... this is the place being used by the counterpart to the guy who created the universe. I'm not surprised by an ELEVATOR.
* Wind teleports behind Kio, making an after image.
<Garland> Fine, let's just go.
* Garland steps on.
<Wind> Is this how you want it to end, Kio? Like this? Mind controlled? Berserker?
<Alicia> <Terra> I almost feel bad about leaving Wind and Ariel behind...
<Dias> Elevator up?
<Ariel> <Strife> Well, atleast... Not surprised unless it DOESN'T try to kill us.
<Alicia> <Terra> You've done this before, haven't you, Strife?
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... elevators hate you?
* Colephantus looks for a button to push.
<Snipe> GM: *the elevator shakes, then begins to zoom downward*
<Garland> Terra, Wind has always done his own thing, with or without the support of others. Eventually it will get him in over his head, but I think he can handle Kio.
<Dias> Nope That didn't...Maybe it did.
* Snipe looks around.
* Kio laughs more..his voice a bit shaky before he turns around, sending a huge wave of green energy directly torward wind..
* Wind throws up his arms in an x formation, letting it hit him. He takes a step back, swinging his arms back down.
<Wind> Is this how you choose to go down? Insane? Stupid? Controlled by others? You'll roll over and let fate take over you?
<Ariel> <Strife> We're all going to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!
<Snipe> GM: *as the elevator goes down, ripples of energy wash over them and the area begins to turn more and more demonic. The walls pulsating, as if beating alive*
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... ewww.
<Snipe> Not my idea of decor.
* Ariel leans against the wall, watching Kio's 'fight' with DeathStar
<Ariel> <Strife> ...cool.
* Colephantus eyes the walls.
<Garland> Everyone remember, if you have a flashlight, tape it to your gun.
<Alicia> <Michiru> This is worse than the idea of Garland and Seraphna getting it on.
* Slasher coughs
* Kio growls and lunges forward, angry as he attempts to clothsline wind directly into the wall, arm attempting to wrap around his throat 14"What do you know about me Deathstar..!!" 2He manages to get out from the insanity
<Ariel> <Strife> ...what if we have niether?
<Snipe> GM: *the elevator begins to have flesh grow on it, wobbiling and looking like it's consuming everything but them*
* Garland glances to Michiru. "You have no idea."
* Wind is slammed into the wall, then grabbed by the throat. He leans forward, struggling against the hand
<Slasher> I heard of a stairway to heaven...This must be the elevator to hell.
<Wind> Because I've let..others...control..me..given in...but...we both..do what...needs..to..be done...
<Wind> Don't...we?
* Colephantus adjusts his stance. Saber still ignited.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I don't really WANT to know
* Ariel stands up, but hesitates a moment
<Snipe> GM: *the heat begins to grow and wails resonate softly through the air, as if the entire earth were crying out*
<Ariel> <Strife> *leans down and pokes the flesh*
<Snipe> I don't like this. I really don't.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I've already said how I feel
<Dias> I'm getting creeped out by this...*looks around*
<Garland> There are worse things in hell than this, John.
* Kio grip only gets tighter, as he reinforces it with his other hand 14"Thats never been good enough for you assholes..no matter what i did..i was hated for it!!!"
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, legions of demons rise from the elevator.*
<Garland> Like that, for example.
<Alicia> <Terra> *pulls out her gun*
<Wind> ...and...why...should..it..matter... Someone...is...always...hated...
<Wind> Someone...is..always...the...outcast..
<Ariel> <Strife> *pokes the demon as it rises up*
<Snipe> GM: *the demon cuts off Strife's arm with it's claws*
* Snipe eyes the demons.
* Colephantus quickly begins to slash at the demons.
<Snipe> I see what you mean.
<Snipe> GM: *the demons are slashed, then reform*
<Ariel> <Strife> Ahhhhhhhh! My arm! You bastard!
* Slasher begins forming Chi around his hands
<Alicia> <Terra> *shoots the demon repeated* Just DIE
<Snipe> GM: *the demon is shot, falls over, then gets back up*
<Alicia> <Terra> *keeps shooting*
<Colephantus> I don't think you can kill Demon's.
<Colephantus> In hell at least.
<Slasher> I believe this is the time for a Holy power...
<Snipe> Holy attacks now.
<Ariel> <Strife> Damn y-...oh wait, I guess you already are. *collects his arm and reattaches it*
<Alicia> <Terra> DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
* Garland pulls his arms back, forming two balls of light in his hands.
<Kio> 14"Then why go on living?"
<Garland> I've got it covered.
<Slasher> Garland, you got the grail on you?
<Snipe> GM: *the demons charge at them, laughing*
<Alicia> <Michiru> I don't think this is psychic, but... *gets ready to psi-blast the demons*
* Garland fires a wave of light out at the hordes.
<Alicia> NRP: Holy, not psychic
<Snipe> GM: *The demons melt in agony*
* Colephantus wonders what he can do skill wise in this body.
* Dias slides back, his hands sliding into his fighting stance
<Snipe> GM: *the elevator begins to slow down it's descent*
* Garland thumbs his nose, "So good it hurts."
* Slasher looks over at Garland
<Snipe> GM: *it stops and the wall parts like a mouth, teeth present and all*
* Garland glances to Slasher.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...that joke was so bad it hurt. *rubs his head*
* Colephantus eyes the opening.
* Snipe shakes his head.
<Slasher> Grail?
<Garland> I only have enough room for so many things in my pockets.
<Garland> But yes, I have it.
* Colephantus touches one of the teeth with the tip of his sword.
<Snipe> GM: *the tooth does nothing*
<Dias> The very mouth of hell.
* Garland looks at the others.
<Alicia> <Terra> A hellmouth.
<Garland> Before we go forward I guess I should bless your weapons...
<Snipe> You people and your references.
<Kio> 14"Why bother ceasing to exist..when all you will ever be..is the scum on someones boot..!" 2Though..his grip would lighten slightly
<Alicia> <Terra> *hands her gun to Garland* Well, sure
<Garland> I was a priest in life.
* Slasher pulls out a small bottle of water from his back pack and tosses it to Garland
<Slasher> Just in case it blesses whatever is poured inside it.
* Garland catches it.
<Ariel> <Strife> Hey, G-man, what if we don't have any weapons...?
<Wind> Because...*he reaches out and grabs Kio's arm* It's what we fighters do. It's our mission in life to fight. Even if others can't understand us or appreciate us.
<Alicia> <Michiru> So... what about the people who don't... yeah
<Garland> Then you're fucked, Strife.
* Garland blesses the gun and hands it back.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... oh, thanks a bunch.
<Ariel> <Strife> I only wish.
* Dias pulls off his gloves and tosses them to Garland
<Alicia> <Terra> If we get out of here alive...?
<Snipe> I'd like an old priest anda young one.
* Garland blesses the gloves, sprinkling a little holy water on them.
* Garland hands them back.
* Dias grabs them, putting them on
* Colephantus extends his saber hilt to Garland. Then his plasma cannon.
* Garland waves his fingers over them ritualistically.
<Ariel> <Strife> *takes of his arm and holds it out to Garland*
<Alicia> <Michiru> Am I going to be totally useless here?
<Snipe> I'm sure you'll be great morale boost, honey.
* Kio growls and attempts to launch deathstar down the hallway, before he begins to compose himself..and what does he do? He takes one of ires tylonel 14"I'll kill you on my own time.."
* Garland glances to Michiru and shrugs, "God bless you?"
* Garland looks at the arm. "Riiiight.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I should have brought a cheerleader outfit.
* Wind flips in the air and lands.
* Colephantus takes his weapons back from Garland. And then steps through the mouth.
<Wind> We should catch up with the others.
<Ariel> <Strife> *defensively* It's my weapon!
* Wind grabs Ariel, then motions for Kio to join them
* Garland moves on.
<Ariel> That didn't go so bad.
* Slasher steps through the mouth
* Dias walks through the mouth
* Snipe steps through the moutan of hell. The walls pulsate and liquid runs under their feet.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *waits a second to make sure it doesn't bite, then follows*
* Kio shakes his head, and puts a hand on wind 14"People make me out more evil then i really am.."
* Garland heads through.
<Alicia> <Terra> I get the feeling fire's not going to be very effective here...
<Garland> If anyone sees Beelzebub, let me know.
<Wind> Evil is just ideals.
<Colephantus> He owe you some money?
* Wind teleports them behind the others.
<Garland> Something like that.
<Ariel> <Strife> Ack! I knew I should have brought some raid.
* Snipe spins around, eyeing ARiel, Wind, and Kio
<Snipe> Well, redemption works fast these days
* Slasher looks down the pathway
<Alicia> <Terra> ... wait, it worked?
<Slasher> Glad you three could join us.
<Garland> NRP: WIND, HE'S BEHIND YOU!! *freaks out and shoots Kio*
<Kio> 14"..who says i'm redeemed..i'd still shoot you in the head during your sleep.."
<Wind> NRP: *sadly tries to redeem Atheos now*
<Alicia> <Terra> ... okay, it didn't work.
<Snipe> How lovely. Do you plan on dying soon?
<Kio> 14"Not before you.."
<Ariel> <Strife> *hugs Kio* So cute.
<Alicia> <Terra> STRIFE!!!
<Colephantus> Come'on people lets get this overwith. No more chit chat. *Continues on*
<Ariel> <Strife> Don't you just love all the angst?
<Dias> Relax there Cole, you're rushing like you've got a vd.
<Colephantus> I just wanna do this whole saving the world bit.
<Snipe> GM: *the hallway leads them to a huge room. They are on the second floor, and can walk around to another exit, but down in the middle on the first floor is a huge stone angel. An inscription is on the wall near them on the second floor*
<Colephantus> *Kio would Notice Cole's voice coming from the female reploid.*
* Wind pauses, glancing down at the first floor court area with the stone angel standing there.
<Ariel> <Strife> *points at Cole and whispers to Kio* She has the hots for you.
* Slasher eyes the huge stone angel, then spots the incscriptionm, reading it
* Kio shakes his head..he doesn't wanna know
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... I like you, Strife.
<Alicia> <Terra> ...
<Ariel> ...well, you know this isn't a good sign.
<Snipe> GM: Inscription: He who challenges Death shall find an untimely reward of Death in victory or defeat.
<Ariel> <Strife> Really? Wow... I'm popular today.
<Colephantus> Wait. How is that a good thing?
<Slasher> How quaint...
* Colephantus eyes the Inscription.
<Garland> Death... oy.
<Wind> It would be best to avoid him.
<Snipe> Oooooh, come on. Who could pass up a chance to fight DEATH.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... if you beat Death, don't you get to LIVE?
<Colephantus> Guess not.
* Dias eyes the inscription, a thought passing through his head
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... that makes no sense
<Ariel> <Strife> Dude... it'd be awesome just to meet him!
<Colephantus> Go for it strife.
<Colephantus> I think you can do it.
* Wind sighs.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... Cole... Don't. Even. Think. of. It.
* Colephantus continues walking for the exit.
<Ariel> <Strife> Terra! Send in the jar!
* Wind moves around the second floor walkway, heading in for the exit.
<Colephantus> It would get him off my back. Besides he ignores you anyway. *says this while walking off*
<Alicia> <Terra> Right... because Sil is just THAT powerful.
* Kio sighs and places his hands behind his head, heading out directly after wind
<Ariel> <Strife> No, because she has nothing to loose!
* Snipe eyes Death
<Alicia> <Terra> ... *sighs*
* Dias looks at Death
* Snipe glances at Dias
* Colephantus is walking beside Wind.
<Ariel> ...you two aren't seriously considering it, are you?
<Colephantus> You think those morons will really do it?
* Dias glances to him
* Snipe shrugs
* Dias shrugs
* Wind turns back to the others
<Snipe> It IS tempting, but ... no
<Dias> Very....
* Snipe walks after the others.
* Slasher eyes Dias then continues after the others
* Dias hangs at the railing, looking ready to jump down
<Alicia> <Michiru> Mom would miss you...
<Snipe> Death: *sits there*
<Snipe> That's why I'm not going down there, kiddo.
* Garland looks at Death.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *smiles and hugs Snipe*
<Ariel> <Strife> *looks to Death* Can I get your autograph?
<Snipe> <Death> ... *sits there, as if lifeless - waiting for a challenge*
<Garland> Cut the games, Death.
* Dias whispers 1"I'm too weak...." He pushes off the railing and begins to walk after the other group
<Ariel> <Strife> Please?
<Snipe> <Death> ...
* Wind reaches the exit.
<Garland> Shit... Fine.
* Colephantus also reaches the exit.
<Ariel> <Strife> Don't tell me you're like a british guard!
* Garland looks to the others.
<Wind> Well, if we're all done with, "who can kill Death and be the ultimate badass.", let us go on.
<Snipe> <Death> ...
<Alicia> <Terra> Strife, come on...
<Ariel> <Strife> Come on! You don't even have a fuzzy hat!
<Garland> I don't think I can do this one. I'm not alive.
* Dias stops
<Snipe> Too bad, Gar. I'm sure you would have won.
<Dias> Then he can't take your life Garland.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... Strife, he's NOT going to give you an autograph! Now come on!
* Garland looks to Dias.
<Garland> Death's a bit of a hardass, if you haven't noticed.
* Dias continues walking, heading towards the exit again
* Ariel joins Wind at the exit, shaking her head.
<Ariel> <Stife> *falls to his knees, pleading* Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
<Snipe> <Death> ...
<Dias> Do it for your son then.
<Alicia> <Terra> STRIFE!
<Colephantus> Lets just leave him.
<Garland> Fine, Death, if I'm technically alive right now, let's go... I don't have a lot of time.
* Slasher reaches the exit
<Ariel> <Strife> Come on man! You're 'Death'! Just one autograph!
* Kio sighs and moves on himself
<Alicia> <Terra> Fine, good bloody bye! *starts for the exit, leaving Strife behind*
<Ariel> <Strife> *points at Terra* Autograph her chest atleast?
<Alicia> <Terra> ... I have nothing to say to you...
* Colephantus sighs and continues on through the exit.
* Dias steps through the exit
<Ariel> <Strife> *sighs defeatedly, and plods towards the exit*
<Alicia> <Terra> ...
<Snipe> <Death> ...
<Snipe> <Death> Challenge accepted.
* Wind spins around
<Wind> Oh no.
<Kio> NRP: *Garland dies*
* Garland takes his hands from his pockets, shaking his head.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...what the? *looks back*
<Alicia> <Terra> *stops and turns around*
<Snipe> Oh hell
* Dias slides to a stop
* Colephantus stops. Slowly turns.
<Dias> ...He didn't seriously do it did he?
<Alicia> <Michiru> Who...?
<Colephantus> ....Yeah. He did.
<Ariel> ...this isn't good.
* Death` has joined #Taw
* Death` begins to stand.
* Slasher turns and reenters the room, he leans against the railing, watching
* Garland looks to Death.
<Colephantus> So if we don't join in on this fight. You wont be mad right Garland?
* Snipe watches
<Garland> That's the rule, Cole.
<Colephantus> Good.
* Colephantus leans against the wall. Watching.
* Garland cracks his knuckles. "Besides, I've been meaning to challenge this guy for a while."
* Colephantus is now known as Chris|Sleeps
* Death` spreads it's stone wings, then the stone breaks apart. A black, demonic angel stands there.
* Death` forms a scythe.
<Snipe> Oh man...this is the battle of the century.
* Garland bursts into flames, six ethreal wings spreading outward as he weilds the spear.
* Death` forms a barrier around him and GArland.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...I wish I had pop-corn.
<Wind> ...Garland..
* Garland glances to DS.
<Ariel> *shakes her head* ...I can't honestly say I'm surprised.
<Garland> Even in death, I still won't pass on a challange.
* Death` slashes the air and black energy flies at Garland with the ability to cut through flesh at ease.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ...
* Garland spins to the side, slashing the spear at Death's back.
* Death` swings the scythe around, parrying Garland's attack.
* Garland presses against the sythe, eyes narrow as the flames whip wildly.
* Death` opens his mouth and a silent scream emits, trying to stop Garland's heart.
* Garland roars, and fires a blast at Death with his free hand.
* Death` is knocked back. He flaps his wings, black feathers falling down. He slashes the air five times, sending five waves at Garland.
<Snipe> Garland's dead body can't die from that scream....
<Snipe> Not bad.
* Garland wraps his own wings around himself to defend.
<Death`> GM: *Garland takes minimal damage*
<Slasher> It doesn't surprise me...How do you kill something thats undead besides cutting it aparT?
<Alicia> <Terra> That is not dead which may eternal lie...
* Death` makes an upside down cross and a boney hand reaches him from the ground to grab Garland.
* Garland lunges forward, thrusting the spear out and firing a beam from it.
<Alicia> <Terra> And in stranger aeons even Death may die...
* Death` throws the scythe in front of him to deflect the beam.
<Ariel> <Strife> *leans against Terra*
<Alicia> <Michiru> *looks at Terra as if she's gone mad*
<Slasher> Defeating death doesn't meant you kill it...
<Alicia> <Terra> ... Aren't you being friendly all of a sudden?
* Garland grips the sythe as he rushes forward, throwing himself around it to kick at Death`.
<Death`> GM: *the scythe burns Garland's dead fleshy hands upon contact*
* Death` is kicked. He flaps around.
<X1> NRP: That smell must suck.
* Garland releases the sythe, continueing to spin around and backhand the dark one.
* Death` punches Garland twice, both punches inflicting minimal damage.
* Snipe crosses his arms
<Snipe> This reminds me of the Sigma fight.
* Garland swipes the spear at Death
<Alicia> <Terra> You know, last I saw, you didn't give a shit about me.
<Dias> Yeah?
* Death` is hit, massive damage.
<Ariel> <Strife> .....sorry.
* Death` swipes the scythe at Garland, for massive damage.
* Garland holds the spear with two hands, trying to parry it.
* Death` vanishes and appears behind Garland, slashing downward.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... *sighs* For asking for the autograph so much, or for everything...?
* Garland begins to turn, trying to knock the sythe off with his wings.
* Death` vanishes, then seven of him appear.
<Death`> 6* They all begin to channel a deadly attack.
<Garland> Seven? That's my number....
<Death`> GM: *Garland must pick the real one to attack*
* Garland eyes them.
* Death` all hover there.
* Garland attacks number six with a charged holy attack.
* Death` is hit, roaring in pain. The others vanish.

* Garland lunges forward shoving the spear toward's death's face.
* Death` vanishes and seven more appear, charging for an attack.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... well... okay.
* Garland leaps back.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... *seems a lot calmer* getting angry here probably isn't a good idea, is it?
* Garland aims the spear, swaying it between them.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...well, and the rack comment. And teasing Cole for not being able to appreciate being hot... *smirks*
* Death` float there, done charging. They all wait.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... don't push your luck.
<Garland> And on the third day...
<Slasher> Atleast Death prefers to play by some rule.
* Garland teleports behind the third and hammer blows at it.
* Death` is the second one. He swings around and hits Garland, causing 1/4th of his life to drop.
* Death` floats back.
<Garland> Gh...
* Garland spins the spear.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Hey, Brit-girl. You're not jealous, are you?
* Death` begins to blur around the room, then appears in the corner.
* Death` begins to spin.
* Garland hurls the spear at the spinning death.
* Death` parries it, but the spin is stopped.

* Death` is hit, feathers flying.
<Alicia> <Terra> ...
* Garland leaps downward, grabbing the spear off the ground and leaps back.
* Death` floats back, half his life gone. The entire room changes into an abyss with flying stars around them. Everyone is there.
* Death` appears, forming a black hole.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... what the...?
* Snipe whips around.
<Wind> ...
<Dias> Not good...
* Snipe punches out
<Garland> The abyss.... shit.
<Snipe> There's still a barrier.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Should we be leaving...?
<Snipe> We can't get to them
* Slasher grabs onto the railing
<Ariel> <Strife> ...well, damn.
* Garland looks to Death.
* Death` floats away from the black hole.
<Slasher> TRY TO KNOCK HIM IN! *yells as loud as he can*
<Garland> I know this game.
* Death` flies at Garland, swinging at him.
* Garland spins around and roundhouse kicks at Death as he flies toward him.
<Ariel> <Strife> *glances at Michiru, then to Terra* She's a cute little thing, isn't she?
* Death` is hit, vanishing. He appears to Garland's right, slashing, then vanishes, appearing to the left, slashing, then the real attacks comes in from behind - the others fake.
<Alicia> <Terra> ... are you attracted to every girl EXCEPT me?
* Garland ducks low to avoid the fake attack, he stabs the spear of destiny backwards.
<Ariel> <Strife> Nah, she's too young for me.
<Ariel> <Strife> Just a kid.
* Death` is hit. He floats backwards, then knocks Garland with dark energy toward the black hole.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... what?!
* Garland slides back.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "just a kid"...?
<Ariel> <Strife> It's nothing to be ashamed about.
* Death` forms 10 scythes, then flings them at Garland.
<Ariel> <Strife> I'm sure you'll be a regular succubi when you're older.
<Snipe> Garland! Look out!
* Garland teleports, charging a blast as he moves his hands to deflect the sythes with the ball of light.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You've been talking to Slasher, haven't you?
* Death` forms a real scythe in his hands.
* Death` flaps there.
* Garland throws the blast into the black hole, blurring towards Death.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Why does everyone think I'm evil!?! Just because I can turn into a... cat...thing...whatever...
* Death` slashes at Garland.
<Ariel> <Strife> Ha! You never denied it.
* Garland blurs, leaving an after image.
* Death` straightensu p.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... what are you talking about?
* Garland throws his feet up from the ground at Death's jaw.
<Wind> Death's power is failing slowly. I think Garland will win.
* Death` is hit. He vanishes and seven of him appear again, preparing to increase the power of the black hole. Which is real?
<Ariel> <Strife> *pats Michiru on the head*
<Alicia> <Terra> Hey, Strife.. you know... for a lunarian, she's positively virginal.
<Slasher> Looks like he's going to increase his odds again.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... I'll... take that as a compliment...
* Garland stands, looking at the seven.
<Ariel> <Strife> I would comment, but I can feel eye lasers targeting me from the exit...
* Garland attacks the fifth one.
<X1> NRP: Take a page from Castlevania and hit the one with the shadow! ...Wait, I think that was Castlevania...
<Alicia> <Terra> Oh wait, she IS a virgin. *looks over at the exit*
* Death` slashes Garland, bringing his life down to 1/2. The blackhole is at 50%.
* Death` was 4.
<Garland> NRP: Beh.
* Death` blurs back, then forms seven again.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... I never thought to ask, but... was Seraphna really as bad as everyone makes out?
<Garland> I grow weary of this...
<Ariel> Not quite
* Garland attacks the seventh one, firing all his might into it.
* Slasher quickly chimes in. 1"She made Senreich look like a toddler taking a crap."
<Alicia> <Terra> She seemed kinda... childish when I met her.
* Death` is hit hard, feathers flying. He flickers, then attempts to form seven again
<Alicia> <Michiru> Like I'm going to trust YOUR word, Slasher.
* Garland spins forward, hammer blowing the first into the ground.
<Slasher> Why would I lie?
* Death` is hit again
* Death` falls to the ground, feathers flying away from him until his wings are empty. He cries out and is sucked into the blackhole. Garland's life refills.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You're still blaming me for... oh...
* Ariel sticks her tongue out at Slasher.
* Garland spins the spear and sets it over his back.
* Death` is now known as Grim`Reaper
* Grim`Reaper emerges in Death's usual attire - the grim reaper.
* Garland turns to the reaper.
* Grim`Reaper holds the scythe high
<Snipe> Another form?!
<Slasher> Perhaps his reward?
* Grim`Reaper flies at Garland, a boney hand reaching for him.
<Alicia> <Terra> Oh, a lot of people have other forms, it looks like.
<X1> NRP: <GrimReaper> Oops! Scythe in your face!
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... yeah... but mine isn't cool. Why couldn't I have got the DRAGON form instead?
* Garland teleports to avoid it.
* Wind grips the cross pendant
<Wind> Garland will win.
* Grim`Reaper misses.
<Garland> That wasn't in the inscription, Death!
* Slasher watches intently.
<Garland> Play by your own rules!
* Grim`Reaper charges energy into the scythe.
* Grim`Reaper swings at Garland.
* Garland parries with the spear, glaring.
* Grim`Reaper pushes against Garland, unable to fly now.

<Ariel> <Strife> I always knew you were hot.

<Alicia> <Michiru> Wonder what happens if he wins...?
* Grim`Reaper vanishes, appearing to the left of Garland, slashing.
<Ariel> <Strife> Which one?
* Grim`Reaper begins to fly around in circles of Garland.
* Garland stumbles, growling.
* Grim`Reaper slashes downward at Garland's head.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Garland. Though I am wondering if he can even die.
* Garland jerks to the side, thrusting the spear to Death's face.
<Slasher> I believe the body he's utilizing can be destroyed and his soul released.
* Grim`Reaper is hit in the face, the hood falling off to reveal his skeletal features.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Isn't that the same as death?
<Slasher> He's already dead.
* X1 has quit IRC (Quit: I think alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for. 'Dammit, Otto, you're an alcoholic. Dammit, Otto, you have lupis.')
<Alicia> <Michiru> Yeah, but...
* Garland spins the spear around, hitting the skull with the blund side.
* Grim`Reaper is hit. It's angry skeletal face eyes Garland, red eyes glowing.
* Grim`Reaper zooms at Garland, slashing for a six hit combo.
<Alicia> <Terra> Yeah, hard to understand unless you have a dead friend.
<Alicia> <Terra> Except... she's... not actually dead...?
* Garland reciols, takign the bladed end to Death's neck, which is made only of vertibrae.
<Slasher> You're young Michiru. You have much to learn from this world.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I think Terra's brain broke.
* Grim`Reaper loses his head and falls over. He explodes and the sycthe hovers, then flies right into Garland's chest, impaling him. Energy flows into him.
<Ariel> <Strife> *pats Terra on the shoulder*
* Grim`Reaper has left #Taw
<Snipe> Garland!?
<Wind> !
* Garland grits his teeth, falling to one knee.
* Slasher tenses up
<Snipe> GM: *the scythe sparkles around Garland's body, restoring the damaged flesh and fusing his soul into the body*
* Garland stands, dusting himself off.
<Snipe> GM: *then it rips itself out and lands in Garland's hand, now his*
* Garland spins it and turnd to the others.
<Snipe> GM: *it returns to the fortress*
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... woah.
* Snipe looks around, the stars gone.
<Garland> Death wasn't doing his job, anyway. He's the one responcible for letting the motenks run wild, after all.
<Snipe> So...you're...what now?
* Chris|Sleeps arches a brow. "Very impressive."
<Slasher> I'd say he's death now.
