<Ire> Session 38: Angels
<Ire> Prologue:
<Ire> GM: *Darkness. Rain is falling to the city's ground, running along the streets. A flash of lightning and a man is seen, huddled in the corner. A group of beggars approach him --- a flash of light. A man is seen running out in a panic, two wings on his back. He runs into someone who supports him...someone who looks female...
<Ire> Time Chart: May 30th
<Ire> Location: Building 38
* Ire glances outside at the morning light, the rain finally ending.
* Dahok sits up in a tree, right outside of the entrance
<Ire> GM: *a monkey swings by Dahok, glances at him, then hops out of the tree and runs off through the HQ lots*
* Stark sits in the control room.
<Dahok> ....*quirks his eyes at the monkey* A monkey?!
* Stark spots an out of place gun.
* Ire leans back in his seat, looking at reports about the war.
<Stark> Hrm. I better take that to the armory.
* Stark takes it out into the hall way and trips.
* Ire raises an eyebrow at Stark.
<Ire> Jerry: *is seen running across the HQ lots towards Building 38, frantic as always*
* Dahok moves himself around so that he can reposition himself
* Dahok hears a snap and looks down
<Dahok> Ahhh shit...*falls as the tree branch snaps and lands right ontop of Jerry*
* Stark hits the ground and the gun goes off.
<Dahok> NRP: What a slow faller.
<Stark> NRP: He has Constant effect slowfall. Play Morrowind, dammit!
* Stark gets up and walks by the med-bay
<Ire> GM: *the beam shoots out of the gun, through Building 38's wall, across the road, through another building, flies straight for Wildcat, flies through the window, and hits something or someone*
<Dahok> NRP: Ok you X1 wannabe!
<Ire> Jerry: AAAAH!
* Stark looks around and walks away, whistling
<Ire> Jerry: *lands face first, his papers flying out of his hand into the mud*
* Dahok looks around
<Dahok> ....Someting broke my fall..
<Ire> Jerry: Ow...
<Dahok> Ow?! *looks around*
* Dahok push's himself up and stands
<Dahok> Who said that?!
<Ire> Jerry: *pushes himself up, caked in mud*
* Dahok falls over and onto his face
<Dahok> Ouch...
<Ire> Jerry: ... my papers! *tries to gather them*
* Dahok looks back
<Dahok> Jerry?!
<Ire> Jerry: Fignuts.
* Stark turns in the gun and comes back to the command room
* Ire is still looking at Stark with a bizzare look.
<Ire> Jerry; *gives up on the papers and turns to Dahok* Watch were you're falling.
<Ire> (Where)
<Dahok> Me?! Watch where your walking!
<Ire> Jerry: *pushes up his glasses, then walks into Building 38, tracking some mud*
* Stark looks at Ire
<Stark> what?
<Ire> Nothing.... *turns back to his report*
* Dahok shrugs and follows him
<Ire> Jerry: *walks up the steps and just before entering the control room, trips*
* Dahok watch's
<Dahok> Your clumsy.
<Ire> Jerry: Fignuts!
<Stark> NRP: You're.
<Ire> Jerry: *makes it on up into the control room*
* Ire turns around, eyeing Jerry
<Ire> Jerry: Uh, hello Lt. Carmichael. I had some reports for you to all look at, but I guess I'll have to do it by memory.
<Dahok> NRP: *punch's Stark in the balls* QUIET!
* Dahok steps in behind Jerry
* Ire glances at Dahok.
<Ire> Let me guess --- you fell on him.
<Stark> NRP: I think you have an infactuation with the male genetalia.
<Dahok> ....The tree snapped!
* Ire grunts.
<Dahok> NRP: Well, when yours becomes as big as mine, you'd be infactuated with it too,.
<Stark> NRP: That reminds me of a movie my dad has. It's of this guy sitting on a bean bag--it's not a bean bag. :P
<Ire> NRP: Ew.
<Dahok> NRP: Painful..
<Dahok> He shouldn't be walking under trees!
<Stark> With your luck, you should stay in-doors.
<Ire> Jerry: ... right. Sometime last night we had to grizzly murders. They happened a few blocks from here, near Wildcat's Bar. I believe you're all familiar with it. *takes a breath* It seems two homeless men were approaching someone and were instantly burnt to death. Nothing but ashes were left --- besides the skeleton, which was in a kneeling position
<Ire> NRP: Two
<Dahok> Kneeling position?! So we got some sicko who likes oral sex and then burns the men to death?
<Stark> Only one skeleton?
<Ire> Jerry: We have some eye witnesses who say they saw a man with wings emerging from the alley. The press are already calling the murderer "The Death Angel". And, frankly, with the police and military combining forces to deal with the war, we don't have any spare units besides you guys. And this case is up your alley.
<Ire> Jerry: Two. There were two. Both kneeling. ... infact, they were praying, almost.
* Ire frowns.
<Stark> Hrm.
<Dahok> ...An angel?
<Ire> Well, lets go walk over and check out the bodies. Are they still there?
<Ire> Jerry: Yes. We haven't moved anything.
<Stark> Last I checked, Judeo-Christian theology doesn't have Angels going out and killing people.
<Dahok> It's not an angel Stark...
<Ire> There's no such thing as god or angels.
* Ire stands up.
<Dahok> Probably just some sicko taking advantage of people's beliefs.
<Dahok> NRP: Dias: Hah fools! Angels make the best loving!
<Ire> Come on, boys. A brisk walk will be good for us.
* Stark stands.
* Ire walks down the stairs and through the lobby.
<Stark> Dahok, how is killing random people taking advantage of them?
* Dahok walks behind Ire, keeping up with his pace
* Stark follows
<Dahok> Uhh....he's obvisiouly taking advantage of their belief in angels to draw them into alleys and kill them easily.
* Ire steps outside, being careful to avoid mudpuddles. He walks through the wet grass and out the front gate onto the street. Glancing at the traffic - busy as always - he walks in the direction of Wildcat's.
* Dahok breathes in the fresh air as he walks
* Ire remains quiet, but he does seem to be listening to Stark/Dahok's debate.
<Stark> Something doesn't feel right in the air...
<Dahok> Maybe it's your B.O. You don't look like you've showered in a couple of months
<Stark> Anyway, Dahok, What's the point in that? Maybe it's some religious fanatic that thinks he's the bringer of judgement or something.
* Ire spots some police tape blocking off an alley. He walks over to it. Three patrol officers are standing there. He flashes his badge, then ducks under the tape into the darkness of the alley
<Dahok> He's still taking advantage of people's need to belief in a higher purpose.
<Dahok> Which means I'm right.
* Stark follows.
<Dahok> So NYAH! *sticks his tongue out*
<Stark> Doubtful.
* Dahok ducks under the tape
<Stark> It's not a matter of advantage.
<Dahok> Yes it is.
* Stark walks over to the skeletons
* Dahok stops infront of the skeletons
* Ire walks through the darkness and stops. In front of him are two skeletons in a kneeled position, with their heads lowered and hands clapsed together. The ashes - despite the rain - are untouched and sit in a pile next the bodies*
<Dahok> Oooh....
* Stark kneels and studies them
* Dahok quirks his eyebrow
<Dahok> That's strange
<Ire> We should get a sample of the ashes. *reaches into his uniform pocket and grabs a glass tube. He scoops up some ashes, closes the tube, and pockets. He does the same thing for the other pile of ashes*
* Stark takes some between his finger, rubbing it between them
<Ire> No smile. Despite the flash being burnt off, there's no smell. Maybe the rain covered it up.
* Stark sniff it and tastes, hrming to himself.
<Ire> (smell)
<Stark> Salt.
<Dahok> *examines the bones for burn marks*
<Ire> Salt?
<Stark> I don't think it was burned off in combustion.
<Ire> GM: *there are none.*
* Ire kneels down, looking at the skeleton.
<Ire> Odd.
<Stark> Which would have caused the smell... All these 'ashes' are just salt with some blackening substance.
<Stark> Whoever this was, was very meticulous in being clean with his kills.
<Dahok> These bones aren't even scathed with burn marks..
* Ire stands up and walks around the garbage of the alley.
<Dahok> Almost as if he stripped the flesh off straight to the bones.
<Stark> Like I said, it wasn't combustion. There's no heat corosion that would have happened.
* Ire spots something in the dirt beside the trashcan.
<Ire> Come here.
* Dahok examines the skeletons to see if anything has been left behind
* Stark walks over
<Ire> GM: *in the dirt are tons of maggots, though there's nothing rotting in it. They slither about and drawn into the dirt is 66 and the third number is too obscured by the maggots to read*
<Dahok> I wonder....*touches the skeleton lightly and cloth's his eyes*
* Dahok recoils his hand
<Stark> Sixty-six.
<Dahok> ....Fear...
<Ire> 66? The third number could be a 6, too. Used to be a thing of "evil" to have 666.
<Stark> Or the first three digits of a phone number. What's your point?
<Dahok> NRP: Move the maggets your wuss!
* Dahok looks through the eyes of the skeletons to see if anything was left behind
* Ire eyes an officer.
<Ire> Do you still have the eyewitnesses near by?
<Ire> Officer: Yeah, they're over at Wildcat's.
* Ire nods, standing up. He brings out a camera and takes a picture of the maggots and 66. He then moves over and takes a picture of the skeletons. Pocketing the camera, he steps under the police tape and back onto the street.
* Dahok walks over to where they were
<Dahok> 66?
* Dahok swipes away the maggets covering up the third number
<Ire> GM: *the third number is almost totally erased. Though the top part of it remains. It could either be a 5 or a 6*
<Dahok> .....
* Dahok stands up and flicks a magget at Stark
* Stark is gone.
* Ire waits for traffic to thin, then runs across the street towards Wildcat's.
* Dahok walks back towards the entrance of the Alley, and slips back under the police line and makes his way across the street towards WildCats
<Dahok> NRP: Again he disappears!
* Ire slows down once he's across the street. He walks over to the door, opens it, and steps inside. It seems someone died earlier. Shrugging, figuring the officers on duty can handle it, he moves over to a seat and sits down. Two women sit there.* Are you the eyewitnesses for the murder across the street?
<Ire> Are you the eyewitnesses for the murder across the street?
<Ire> GM: *both women nod*
<Ire> GM: *they are dressed in hooker clothes, revealing most of their body. Plus they look stoned out of their minds*
* Dahok steps into WildCats and spots IRe, walking over to him
* Ire glances at Dahok.
<Ire> You can question them.
<Dahok> Me?!
* Ire grunts.
<Dahok> I'm not good at questioning.
<Ire> Women: *look at Dahok, licking their lips and trying to look seductive*
* Ire doesn't say anything. He merely taps his finger on the table.
* Dahok shudders
* Stark turns to Ire
<Dahok> Just tell us what you all saw.
<Dahok> From the beginning
<Stark> They don't look like they'll be a reliable source of information.
<Ire> Hooker 1: Well...uh...you see, me and my friend here...were, uh, looking for some business. And...well..
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah, some business!
<Dahok> Ok...
<Ire> Hooker 1: And...we were passing that alley..when, suddenly, there was a flash of light...
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah, flash of light.
<Dahok> Can you describe this flash of light?
<Ire> Hooker 1: ... it was real bright?
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah, real bright.
<Dahok> Oi....
<Dahok> Continue on.
<Ire> Hooker 1: And, uh, well, this man with wings on his back ran out of the alley and into some woman
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah, probably a hooker.
<Ire> Hooker 1: And, well, the woman and him walked off
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah...he was naked, too, I think.
<Ire> ...
<Ire> GM: *both hookers wink at Stark, rubbing their chests*
<Dahok> Can you describe this woman?
<Ire> Hooker 1: Well...uh...it was raining too hard. Really. Long hair?
<Dahok> NRP: Dias: I wonder how Eve's doing...
<Ire> Hooker 2: Real long.
<Dahok> Ok....
<Dahok> Anything else that stood out on this woman?
<Ire> Hooker 1: Not...really. No.
<Dahok> Ok...how bout this man?
<Dahok> Can you give us a description of him
<Ire> Hooker 2: Oh, oh, wait, you forgot about the rainbow and the little man with gold
* Stark looks at the hookers
<Ire> Hooker 1: ooooh yeah...this little man in a green suit offered us gold if we would fuck his brains out!
* Ire facepalms.
<Dahok> .....*smacks his own forehead*
<Stark> ...... Right, they're wasted.
<Stark> Did the little man tell you his name?
<Ire> Hooker 2: Well...uh, yeah...Legion...I think?
<Ire> Hooker 1: Yeah, Legion...legion...
<Stark> Legion?
<Ire> Hrm
<Ire> We should test these two to find out how wasted they are. *waves over two officers, then points at the girls, telling them to find out*
<Dahok> So back to this other man...What did he look like?
<Ire> Hooker 1: Tall?
<Ire> Hooker 2: Yeah, tall..
<Dahok> Did he have any scars, strange hair color, anything like that?
<Ire> Hooker 1: I'm not sure...but, uh, they headed that way *points at a random direction.* You could look that way.
<Dahok> Alright..Thanks for your time..
* Ire stands up and walks outside, ignoring the Wildcat crew trying to revive the dead waitress.
* Stark heads out.
* Dahok walks out behind the other two
<Dahok> Well that was...informative.
<Stark> NRP: Dead waitress?
<Ire> We should know what they are high on in a bit.
<Dahok> NRP: Yeah...the one you shot.
<Dahok> NRP: YOUR GOING TO JAIL BUB!
* Ire looks at the others.
<Dahok> So what do you think?
<Stark> Well, let's head that way.
<Ire> I guess we could walk in the direction she pointed out. *looks up, the sky darkening with what looks to be another storm. A wild one. Infact, it's almost like night's setting in early. The wind begins to blow dangerously*
* Stark starts off, totally at home in the weather.
* Ire follows Stark. He wishes for once he had his trench coat.
* Dahok follows, walking next to Ire.
<Ire> Legion...I wonder where the girls got a name like that.
* Dahok shrugs
<Stark> Well, they both have the same name, so..
<Dahok> Who's got the same names?
<Stark> The two women, they gave the same name. If they gave different names for the man I wouldn't be so suspicious.
<Dahok> NRP: You shoulda said...gave the same name.
<Dahok> I'm wondering about this mysterious women tho.
<Ire> GM: *they keep walking. Up ahead seems to be a church, an old one*
<Ire> Probably an illusion.
* Dahok looks up at the church
<Ire> GM: *a lightning bolt splits the sky. Thunder booms*
<Stark> Hrm...
* Dahok then look sover at Ire
<Dahok> Coincidence?
<Ire> Perhaps. But lets find out.
<Stark> Probably
<Dahok> It's too strange to be a coincidence..
<Stark> So's winning the lotery twice, but it happens.
<Dahok> Your so pessimistic.
* Ire stops in front of the large wooden doors.
* Dahok walks upto the church
<Ire> GM: *The church is three stories, with two bell towers up top. Glass pictures of Jesus are all over the outside wall, though sevearl are cracked and broken. Part of one tower seems to be collapsing*
<Dahok> Decrepid...Perfect place to hide if I were a sadistic ritualistic killer.
<Stark> ....
<Ire> This church is suppose to be haunted, if I recall.
<Ire> GM: *drops of rain begin to fall, then a full downpour*
*** Sherinmir has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Sherinmir
<Stark> Where did you hear that?
<Dahok> ...I feel like I'm being watched.
<Caladia> NRP: Heya Sher.
<Ire> In my files. When Mega City's simulator went up in 2200, they say some people were living here. The simulator destroyed them as it set itself up, since they were standing right where the church formed.
* Dahok looks upwards at one of the towers
<Stark> Hrm.
* Ire grips the church door and throws it open. He steps inside
* Stark steps in as well
<Ire> GM: *the inside of the church is covered in dust. Pews are falling down or rotting. The floor protests people walking on it. Spiders crawl along the cobwebs. The altar up front is the only thing in perfect condition. It's a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross, staring at them. On either side of him is a white statue of an angel and on the other side a dark statue of an angel*
* Dahok walks inside behind Stark and Ire
* Caladia is away -( Gone to watch crap on the war. )- at 03:28p -( P:On / L:On )-
*** Caladia is now known as Cally-TV
* Dahok starts walking towards the statue of Jesus Christ
* Ire walks along, the floor creaking under him. The rain pouring outside on the church gives the inside an eerie echo effect
<Ire> GM: *the statue almost seems to be staring at Dahok*
<Dahok> How strange....The only thing being upkept is this statue....*pass's by the pews, the floor creaking below him*
* Stark looks up at the statue
<Stark> ....Eerie.
* Dahok stops infront of the statue and looks at the angels around it
<Dahok> ....A black one?!
* Stark looks at the light angel
<Stark> It could be Michael and Lucifer.
<Ire> I should have read up more on the Bible.
* Ire looks over and sees a set of stairs leading upward.
<Stark> Michael supposedly was the angel second only to Lucifer before he fell.
<Dahok> I never followed the Christian Religion...It's not prominent in my area.
<Ire> Interesting.
<Ire> GM: *the wood above them groans*
* Ire jerks his head up, noticing some dust falling from the ceiling as if someone is moving across it*
<Stark> It's unstable in here... maybe we should leave.
<Dahok> I did read a little...What about Bartleby and Loki?
* Dahok looks up
<Dahok> I think we should head up their....*looks around for a stairway
<Ire> Stark is right. If they're in here, we picked a bad place for a confrontation.
<Stark> You watch too many 20th century movies, Dahok. Let's go outside and wait it out for them to leave.
<Stark> Then we get them.
<Dahok> 20th Century movies?
<Dahok> They're still around?
* Ire turns to look at the front door, still open. The rain is still pouring hard --- when suddenly the door slams shut*
* Dahok walks towards the back of the room towards a set of stairs
<Ire> ...
* Stark steps out.
<Ire> GM: *Stark...steps into the closed door*
<Stark> NRP: You locked me in!
<Dahok> NRP: Wow he's quick. From one side of the room to the other in .4 seconds.
<Stark> NRP: You know it. :P
* Stark tries to open the door
<Ire> GM: *it opens*
* Dahok puts pressure on the step, hearing it croak in protest.
<Stark> ..... The wind, I suppose.
* Ire moves around the first floor, glancing at things.
* Dahok starts walking up slowly, putting his feet on the outside of the steps where the frames are
* Stark looks at the angels again, studying them.
<Ire> GM: *it's getting darker up here. He's almost to the second floor*
<Ire> GM: *Light and Dark.*
<Stark> We should leave...
* Dahok continues walking upwards, using his enhanced senses to keep an eye out
<Dahok> NRP: WUSS!
<Ire> GM: *Dahok reaches the second floor. It seems to be where the sunday school and social gatherings took place. It's in about as good of a shape as the first floor*
* Dahok stops and looks at the floor for any fresh foot prints
* Ire walks behind the altar, looking around.
<Ire> GM: *Suddenly, something tackles Dahok, HARD. As they both hit the floor, it cracks and breaks open, and he and his attacker fall through the air. The attacker manages to throw themselves off as Dahok crashes straight onto the altar of Jesus, it going through his stomach and impaling him.*
* Stark stands at the door, holding it open
* Ire whips around, looking at Dahok impaled on the altar.
<Dahok> HERK!!!
<Stark> Dahok!
* Stark runs forward
<Ire> GM: *Dahok dies*
* Dahok coughs
* Ire stands up, looking a bit shocked.
<Stark> NRP: Reminds me of End of Days. :P
<Ire> GM: *the attacker stands up themselves. It's a young woman*
* Ire whips out his handguns, aiming at her.
<Ire> Freee----*eyes her, remembering her picture from somewhere*
* Stark draws his walking stick
* Dahok lies there dead
*** Eve` has joined #taw
<Eve`> Whoa, hold it! Obviously you're not who I thought you were. I can help your friend---if you trust me. *Holds up her hands*
<Ire> You're Eve...Dias' wife and daughter in law of Slasher.
* Eve` keeps her hands up, nodding slowly.
* Dahok bleeds all over Jesus
* Ire nods at Dias, backing up. He keeps his weapons trained.
<Dahok> NRP: Dias? WHERE?!
<Ire> NRP: DAHOK
* Eve` looks as old as she ever did in TGC. She's wearing a pilot jump suit right now, it sticking tight to her body. Her two long blonde pony tails go down to her butt*
* Eve` walks over and lifts Dahok off the statue, laying him on the ground, where his blood continues to run all over the place. She bends over to kiss him.
<Dahok> NRP: Dahok: *a bulge appears in his crotch*
* Stark holds a voo doo doll in-hand
* Ire glances at Stark questioningly, then back at Eve and Dahok.
<Ire> GM: *Dahok's blood continues to run down Jesus. It pours out and touches the dark angel*
* Eve` kisses Dahok
* Dahok takes in a deep breath, his chest rising suddenly, his eyes flutter open and he coughs, turning onto his side.
<Ire> Alright, I don't know your game i---....
* Ire eyes Dahok.
* Eve` places a hand on his chest, healing the wound.
<Ire> Dahok? Dahok, are you alright?
* Dahok eyes flutter as he feels a warm sensation go from his chest down to his stomach, his wound healing up
<Dahok> ....I think...What happened?
* Eve` finishes healing Dahok. The only drawback? He has a permawood now
<Dahok> I remember...Being on the second floor...*looks up, his vision clearing, he see's Eve*
* Eve` stands back. She notes Ire is keeping his weapon trained on he.r
<Dahok> *blinks, and rubs his eyes* Are you an.....
<Eve`> Look, I healed your friend...
<Stark> But you also hurt him in the first place.
* Dahok looks down at his wound, and see's a bulge in his crotch
<Dahok> Holy Shit!
<Eve`> I thought he was the thing stalking us.
* Ire grunts.
<Ire> What thing?
<Stark> Thing?
<Dahok> I didn't know you could get wood from death.
<Eve`> I'm not sure, exactly. It's hard to explain...I think perhaps a dark angel. *glances at Dahok, raising an eyebrow*
* Dahok push's himself up
<Ire> A dark angel? And who's "us".
* Dahok falls back down to his knees
<Dahok> A little light headed tho..
<Dahok> So...Who are you? *looks at Eve* And who sent me crashing through the second floor?
<Eve`> Well... *pauses, when suddenly there's a crash upstairs.* Oh, no. He's managed to get inside the church. *glances over at the Jesus statue covered in blood. For once, she looks a bit shaken herself. She runs up the stairs*
* Ire goes to yell stop, but Eve's already gone. He lowers his handgun.
<Ire> That's Slasher's daughter-in-law and she knocked you down here.
<Dahok> ....I got my ass kicked by a girl?!
<Ire> ...
<Ire> Yes.
* Dahok grabs his head
* Ire looks at Stark and Dahko
* Stark shrugs
<Ire> Obviously our killer is up there. I'm heading up.
* Ire moves up the stairs.
<Dahok> ....Yeah...upstairs...*walks upto the stairs and starts walking up them*
* Stark follows
* Ire reaches the second floor. Despite the big hole, nothing has changed up here. He glances around and moves slowly across the floor, which is threatening to break
<Ire> GM: *a window nearby breaks from the howling wind and rain blows in*
<Stark> Hrm.
<Ire> GM: *another set of stairs are in the back of this room*
* Ire keeps moving across the floor, it groaning. He gets wet from the rain.
* Dahok makes his way across the floor, following along side the floor studs
<Ire> GM: *the fighting can be heard up stairs*
* Ire moves up the third set of stairs. A door is found broken here. He moves aside it and is now in the storage area of the church. An open hatch on the roof leads to the Bell Tower*
* Stark keeps with Ire
* Dahok reaches the stairs and walks up them
* Dahok walks through the broken door and then into the storage area of the church
* Ire grips the hatch and pulls himself up into the tower. Right above them, fighting is heard. He moves up the small set of stairs and up into the bell tower. There fighting is two men, both with wings. A black haired man with white hands is wearing some female clothes - perhaps Eve's? - while the other, a blonde with black wings, wears nothing. They fight around the huge bell.*
<Ire> (hands = wings)
<Ire> What in the world---?
<Ire> GM: *the wind threatens to blow the three police officers off the bell tower and the rain is ice cold, slapping against their faces*
* Dahok wipes his face
<Dahok> What in the?!
<Stark> Some alien races have wings... crossbreeds maybe?
* Dahok squints his eyes
<Dahok> They're human..
<Ire> GM: *the black winged man throws the white winged man off the bell tower, watching him crash on the roof below. At that point, Eve swoops in from above the tower roof and kicks him in the stomach*
* Eve` lands in a crotched position.
<Eve`> NRP: Er.
<Eve`> NRP: crouched
<Dahok> There's another person!
<Ire> GM: *a lightning bolt strikes the bell tower roof, sending pieces of it flying off*
* Ire shields his face from the rain.
* Dahok runs across the roof towards the three
* Eve` proceeds to fight the black winged man with her hands.
* Stark watches intently.
* Ire steps around the bell. He rams into the bell, sending it flying into the black winged man. It hits, sending him falling out of the tower
* Eve` pants, drenched in water. She tries to follow the fall of the man, but can't keep up with him in the darkness of the storm.
* Dahok hits the ground as the bell flies above him
* Dahok looks back
<Dahok> Bastard....*push's himself up and runs over to Eve* What the hell's going on?
* Eve` points at the unconscious white winged man on the roof below
<Dahok> What about him?
<Eve`> I'm trying to protect him from the other one. That guy is trying to kill him - he also murdered the two guys back in the alley.
* Dahok looks confused
<Stark> Well, we have our target, then.
<Dahok> .....Ok..
<Dahok> Is he ok?
* Dahok looks down at the man
<Eve`> I don't know. I can't communicate with him well. He speaks another tongue.
<Stark> Do you know what language it is?
* Dahok looks down at where the black haired man went to, trying to see through the rain for him
<Ire> GM: *the bell tower suddenly creaks, as if it's falling apart. And, at that moment, the black winged angel stands on the rail, eyeing them. He throws out a kick, hitting Dahok in the face. He follows it up with a spinning kick into Ire's face, KOing him*
<Eve`> !
* Dahok grabs his face
* Ire falls back against the bell.
<Dahok> SON OF A...
<Eve`> ...
<Stark> Mojo! *heals them*
* Dahok shakes his head, gaining his bearings back
* Eve` concentrates. Two transparent wings appear behind her.
* Dahok looks at Eve
<Dahok> What in the fuck..
* Dahok looks around for the black-winged man
<Ire> GM: *the black winged angel is still in the same spot. Though he's about to attack Eve and stop her*
* Dahok darts forward, throwing a punch at the black-winged angel
<Ire> GM: *the angel flies back, flapping his wings. He glares at Dahok*
* Dahok glares right back
* Dahok slides into a fighting stance
* Eve` forms two wings on her back. A sword appears in her hand.
* Stark jumps down and tosses a voodoo doll at the black-wing
<Eve`> Keep him busy.
* Eve` flies out of the tower and toward the other angel.
* Dahok lunges forward throwing a roundhouse kick at the blackwinged angels head
<Ire> Angel: *growls, grabbing Dahok's leg. He throws him out of the tower toward the roof below. He turns to Stark, then rushes forward, punching him straight through the heart, grabs it, and rips the heart out. He grins as he watches Stark's life start to end*
* Stark 's glasses fall off, grabbing onto the angel's arm as blood seeps from the new hole in his chest
* Dahok grabs onto one of the struts as he flies by and swings around full circle, letting his grip go, and flying feet first towards the Black-Winged angels chest
<Ire> Angel: *grins sadistically, eyeing Stark.*
* Stark coughs, his syes going hazy
<Ire> Angel: OUF!
<Ire> Angel: *speaks in another tongue*
* Stark looks at the angel ".... Here, hold this." *hands him a voodoo doll*
* Stark dies.
* Dahok bounces off him and lands on his feet
<Dahok> STARK!
* Dahok runs to him
<Dahok> .....
* Eve` is back. She proceeds to kick the angel. She keeps him busy, flying around and beating on him.
* Dahok turns back towards the angel

<Eve`> ? *punches him back*
* Dahok watches waiting for the the perfect time to strike
* Eve` gets punched backwards.
<Ire> Black Winged Angel: We are Legion. For we are many.
* Eve` stumbles past Dahok.
* Eve` rightens herself up.
* Dahok leaps forward, throwing several punches at Legion
*** Alicia has quit IRC (Quit: brb)
<Ire> Legion: *parries the blows. But, while he's distracted by Dahok, Eve round house kicks him in the side. Several bones snap*
* Dahok spins around and kicks backwards and upwards towards Legions chin
* Dahok turns to Eve
<Dahok> Help Stark, like you helped me.
<Eve`> It's too late. I can't help him.
<Dahok> Grrr....*ducks and throws an uppercut towards Legions stomach
<Eve`> GM: *suddenly, the white winged angel tackles the black winged angel off the roof. They begin to battle in the sky. Now all Eve and Dahok can do is watch*
* Eve` stands there, panting.
* Dahok falls to one knee, his breath heavy
<Dahok> What do you mean it's too late.
*** Alicia has joined #TAW
<Dahok> And who is this guy?!
<Eve`> I don't know...
<Dahok> Are they brotherS?
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, both angels just drop and crash onto the ground*
<Eve`> I think so...?! What?
* Dahok turns back to the angels
* Eve` watches them fall.
<Dahok> What the hell..
<Dahok> NRP: Like the very bottom ground

* Eve` grabs Dahok and Ire and flies down to the ground.
* Dahok lands on the ground and runs at Legion
<Ire> Voice: "Namus, are you alright?"
* Ire looks around
* Dahok skids to a halt and looks around
<Ire> What---happened?
* Dahok tries to find the voice
* Eve` glances around.
* Dahok shakes his head and runs over to Legion and looks at him
<Ire> GM: *both of them are just laying there. Suddenly, the white winged angel sits up, glancing around*
<Ire> Voice: "Legion, is it? A bastard child of a fallen angel and a human. Not many Nephilim have survived this late into creation."
<Eve`> Nephilim? *makes her wings disappear*
* Dahok looks around trying to pick up the voice
*** Figure has joined #taw
* Figure appears in a black cloak and black hood, covering his face. A chinese style hat sits on his head and two swords are on his back. He stands there, almost invisible in the darkness of the storm*
* Eve` spins around.
* Dahok ears twitch and he spins towards the figure
<Figure> "Nephilim--the child of a human and a fallen angel. Namus, take care of the fallen. I'll hangle this one."
<Ire> GM: *the white winged angel stands, nodding at the figure.*
<Ire> What in the world is going on, Dahok?
* Ire eyes the figure.
* Dahok looks dumbfounded
<Ire> And where's Stark?
<Dahok> I have no friggin idea
<Dahok> Dead...
<Ire> GM: *Namus flies away*
* Dahok looks at the figure
<Dahok> WHO ARE YOU?!
<Ire> Dead!?
* Dahok nods, keeping his eyes on the figure
<Ire> GM: *Legion is further slammed into the ground*
* Eve` studies the figure, no remorse on her face for what is happening to Legion.
<Ire> GM: *the rain finally stops, though the wind keeps howling*
<Figure> "Legion, I come from by charter from the high angel, Uriel. I have come to send you to your rightful place, per your abuse of the mortal realm."
<Dahok> What is going on...
* Figure pulls out a burning sword, then slashes Legion. Legion is instantly destroyed by the flames. He puts up the sword.
* Dahok walks upto the figure
<Dahok> Who are you?
<Ire> My thoughts exactly.
* Ire looks at the figure suspiciously.
* Eve` crosses her arms, looking at the figure.
<Figure> "Let me finish my work, then we'll chat."
<Dahok> .....
* Figure walks past Eve, commenting on her nice wings, then vanishes, appearing up at the bell tower
* Figure bends over Stark, reviving him.
<Dahok> *stands down, fear actually showing on his face*
* Stark blinks and looks up at the figure
<Dahok> NRP: Dias: You bastard, I'll kill you!!!
<Eve`> ...do I know...him?
* Eve` looks up at the tower, looking confused.
* Figure suddenly appears back on the ground with Stark.
* Stark looks around blinking, his glasses back on, too.
<Ire> ...*frowns, almost in disbelief*
<Eve`> Well, stranger, you've done a lot today...
<Dahok> He's alive..
* Dahok plops on his ass, completely lost of words
<Figure> Dreadful weather. *suddenly, it becomes a bright, sunny day*
<Stark> What the...?
* Stark looks around
<Ire> Who are you?
<Figure> Just a lingering spectre who won't go away.

<Eve`> ....?
<Dahok> NRP: It's GARLAND!

<Ire> NRP: LOL
* Dahok tries to see under the figures hood
* Figure turns and walks away behind the church and out of sight
