Random Ages: Impact 1

Session 105: Centerpoint


[DeathStar] Time Chart: March 20th, 2201
[DeathStar] Location: Mega City
[DeathStar] GM: The Hunters have defeated the Tsivrixsh Empire
[DeathStar] GM: In a battle that rocked the entire galaxy, they have managed once and for all to end it's menace and the earth has been restored.  The team is gathering at Mega City to celebrate their victory at the Capital Building
[Garland] NRP: 9 days away from Garland's birthday, ironic, about the same amount of days till mine IRL.
[DeathStar] NRP: I like to be ironic?
[Garland] NRP: I was making a note.
* DeathStar stands outside the city, scanning it, having showed up for the reunion after the team defeated the aliens 5 months ago
* Snipe stands outside the Capital Building
* Dominator heads to the Capital Building, looking it over, and spots Snipe, "Hello, Snipe..."
* Snipe nods
[Snipe] Dominator.  What have you been up to these past few months?
* Garland flies for Mega City, flaring with white flames. He appears to be a high flying jet to people on the ground, leaving a fire trail.
[Dominator] Well, I've been taking it easy mostly... After the last war, I think we all needed some rest. Occasionally, I'm called to guest lecture at the academy, but mostly I've been travelling
* Shadow_Hunter walks up to the Capital Building
[Snipe] I've been working on recreating the Armed Forces for the earth myself.
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] "Nice to be back..."
[Syria] NRP: Kyouki in?
[DeathStar] NRP: Yes, she'd be a part of this
[Syria] NRP: Good.
* Shadow_Hunter walks up to Dom and Snipe "Hey"
[Dominator] Really? If you ever need any help with that, I'd be willing to help... It's important to get Earth totally back on its feet
* Snipe looks at Shadow
[Snipe] Hey, Shadow.
[Shadow_Hunter] Hows it going Snipe?
* DeathStar walks down the road near the Capital Building, purposely taking his time
* Snipe shrugs
[Snipe] Doing well.  Taking it easy where I can.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *rests against a building*
* Shadow_Hunter nods "i know what ya mean"
* Garland lands on the ground infront of the Capitol Building, the energy being dispersed as rings on the ground which quickly dissapate. He is wearing a long-sleve blue shirt with slacks, his hair cut and wearing glasses--appearantly becomming slightly far-sighted.
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [It was quite the ride.]
[Syria] [Kyouki] *watches Ariel*
[Dominator] Garland! Good to see you made it
* Snipe glances at Garland
[Garland] Dad. *nods, smiling*
* Shadow_Hunter looks at Garland "Hey Garland"
[Snipe] Glasses...?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Hey Gar, how are the kids?
[Snipe] Are you trying to make yourself look smarter?
* Garland does a salute/wave with two fingers to everyone.
* Dominator smiles at Snipe's comment a bit
* DeathStar comes into view of the Capital Building
[Garland] They're fine! Still living with Dakota will the house is built...
* Garland glances at Snipe
[Garland] Stigmatism.
[Snipe] Sigmawha?
[Garland] ... I've been straining my eyes.
[Snipe] Figures.
[DeathStar] Been looking into the lights of one too many kiamas.
[Syria] [Kyouki] SIGMA?!! WHERE?
[Dominator] Which, like I said, you really ought to be careful of, Garland...
[Garland] Figures you'd say that. *looks at DS*
[Garland] Of course. *winks*
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *smiles happily* Nice to see you again DS.
* DeathStar stops by the group
[DeathStar] Hey guys.
* DeathStar smiles at Ariel
[Dominator] Death Star, good to see you
[DeathStar] Good to see you again.
* DeathStar looks at Dom
* Shadow_Hunter turns to DS "Hey DS, hows it going?"
[DeathStar] Oh, yeah, good to see you too.  *smirks*
[Syria] [Kyouki] *yawns*
* DeathStar looks at SH
* Garland crosses his arms, the light gleaming in his eyes and glasses.
[DeathStar] Good as it can get.
[Shadow_Hunter] Glad ta hear that
[Dominator] It's funny... In peacetime, time seems to pass a whole lot quicker than it does during war...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Peace?
[Dominator] Seems like only a little while ago the war ended
[DeathStar] Well, it was only 5 months or so.
[Garland] Hence the phrase "Time flies when having a piece of the pi---No that's not right, hold on...
[Snipe] Time flies by when you're having fun, Garland.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm not sure the war's totally over yet.
[Garland] No, that's not it...
[Snipe] ...*smacks forehead*
* DeathStar glances at Kyouki
[DeathStar] What makes you say that?  The Mavericks are defeated.  The Tsivrixsh Empire has a new leader.  Things are over for once.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... For you, at least.
[Dominator] The galaxy's been relatively quiet these past months... at least in our corner of space.
* Garland flies over to Dominator, sitting awkwardly on his shoulder like Jonas or Lucas would
[Snipe] Yeah, but there's a lot of space.
* Shadow_Hunter nods
* Snipe glances at Garland
[Snipe] Uh...?
[Dominator] True, but with the Tsivrixsh Empire no longer a threat, things are looking a whole lot brighter for the future
* Dominator glances up at Garland
[Garland] Yup.
* Shadow_Hunter looks at Garland O.o?
[Garland] Sera told me to.
* Snipe shakes head and points at the building
* Garland falls off "ACK!"
[Snipe] Anyway, I have a room reserved for us.
[Snipe] So we can discuss issues and decide what we want to do.
[Dominator] Err... whoa... *stumbles backwards a step after Garland falls of him*
* DeathStar looks around
* Shadow_Hunter laughs lightly
[DeathStar] Shame more people didn't show up.  *smirks at Garland*
[DeathStar] Tell Sera I said hi.
* Garland gets up quickly
[Dominator] Sounds good... Let's get going
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I don't know what I'll do.
* Snipe walks into the lobby of the building
[Garland] She's going to try and make it, but she's a little immobile.. expecting. We found out it's a girl. *grin*
* Dominator follows Snipe
* Shadow_Hunter walks in after Snipe and Dom
[DeathStar] She's pregnant...again?
[X1] NRP: Dear God, someone ties his tubes...
[Garland] ...... It'd be our third child....
* Snipe looks at Garland
[Dominator] You're going to have quite a family, Garland...
[Snipe] Yeah, but that's kinda fast work there, Gar.  You do anything else in your spare time other than jumping in the bed?
[Garland] We want a big.... stop looking at me like that!
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] .oO( I don't think we have to worry about dragons dying out... )
* Snipe walks over to the elevator
[Syria] NRP: Do we remember everything yet, BTW?
* DeathStar chuckles and steps into the lobby
* Garland sighs, hanging his arms forward and slumps
[DeathStar] NRP: Not yet.  though this reality is what ours would have been if we would have won
[Garland] The people I work with...
* Garland enters
* Snipe mashes the elevator button
* DeathStar glances to the right and spots someone standing off to the side near some plants, watching the group
* Dominator notices the same person DS does
[Garland] Someone we know?
[DeathStar] Kinda reminds me of Hermes before he died.
[Dominator] Maybe...
* Snipe finishes opening the elevator
[Snipe] There we go.
[Sierra] [[6Siawase]] *catches up*
[Dominator] At any rate, let's continue...
* Garland notes Sia
[DeathStar] Shame what happened to Hermes and Drake on the Fury.  We took a blow there.
[Garland] Siawase!
[Sierra] [[6Siawase]] Hiya! =n.n=
[Dominator] I know... *shakes head*
* Snipe steps into the elevator
* Shadow_Hunter glances over to the person, then walks into the elevator
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] . o O (Almost a shame...)
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Really was too bad...
* Dominator follows Snipe into the elevator
[Garland] We can only mourn for so long, they didn't die in vain.
[DeathStar] True.
* Garland waves at Sia
* DeathStar steps onto the elevator
[DeathStar] Welcome, Sia.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *steps onto the elevator with DS*
[Snipe] ...crowding in...can't breathe...eek
[X1] NRP: [Hermes_from_beyond_the_grave] Keep mourning me, dammit!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Spirit?
[Sierra] [[6Siawase]] Siawase almost didn't make it... *hops up onto Garland's shoulder*
[Dominator] Garland's right... we all accepted the risks during the war
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] *gets on with the others* "Yes?"
* Garland scratches Sia behind the ear
[DeathStar] Yeah, a lot of people didn't show up.  I'm betting Wiendigo, Grave, and Ice are all out partying.
* Snipe manages to hit the button and the elevator door closes; the elevator is tightly packed
[Snipe] Yeah, Dias and Slasher aren't around either.
[Garland] Hmm.... Elevator's crowded. Me and Sia will take the express. What floor?
[Snipe] 45th
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] "Unfortunately, Cheryl was caught offworld."
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] You have someone else in you too, don't you?
[Snipe] Elevator: *goes up*
* Garland teleports
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [Well, if you put it like THAT...]
* Snipe chuckles at Kyouki
* Dominator stands still in the crowed elevator
* DeathStar leans on Ariel
* Garland waits at the elevator for the others, chatting with Siawase
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] It's probably not the same.
[Snipe] Elevator: *keeps going up slowly*
[Garland] So what've you been up to lately?
[Snipe] ...this brings back memories.  Bad ones.
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] What do you mean?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I NEED TO FIGHT SOMEONE!
* Shadow_Hunter thinks hell join Garland and warps up to the 45th floor
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *blinks*
* Snipe glances at Kyouki
* Garland nods at SH
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I... *shakes head* I'm not cut out for peace.
* Shadow_Hunter nods back "much better"
[Dominator] Personally, I've had enough fighting for a lifetime...
[Snipe] Hey, you'll get use to it.
[Snipe] Elevator: *opens up*
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] I've had enough for two.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
[DeathStar] All I've seen is fighting in my life.
* Garland stands there with his arms crossed
* DeathStar sighs darkly
[Garland] What took you guys?
[Dominator] Here we are...
* Snipe steps out of the elevator
[Snipe] Air.  Breathe.
[Dominator] But now you have a chance to know peace, Death Star...
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] and Spirit step out
* Dominator follows Snipe, "Phew..."
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *follows*
* DeathStar steps out and looks down the hallway at an open room with a table surrounded by chairs; the north wall is really just a window overlooking the city.
* Snipe steps into the room and grabs himself something to drink from the refreshments and sits down
* Garland runs over to the window
[Snipe] I got ourselves a nice little spot.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Nice view
* DeathStar walks into the room and stands at the window
[Garland] Hey, Ariel, you know what'd really be bad?
[Dominator] Yes, nice view here.
[DeathStar] The city's really looking good.  The rebuilding is going great.
* Shadow_Hunter walks down the wall and sits down in a chair, looking out the window
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] ...what?
* DeathStar looks out at the blue sky with no clouds
[Garland] If all the veteran fliers (ie; You and me) were afraid of hieghts.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *giggles* That'd have made things... interesting.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Fears are there to be conquered.
[Dominator] Yes, it get bigger daily...
[Snipe] I can just see it now.  "Who can fly?"  "ME!"  You go to fly and "AAAAAAAAAAAH!  I'm SCARED!"
[Garland] ... *looks* That ......IS.. a long way.... down...
[Snipe] Try not to lean on the window.  It may break.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Ummm...
[Garland] Yeah, as much as I weigh, I don't want to pay for repairs.
* Dominator shudders as he remembers what the planet was like before it was restored
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I don't know what to do any more.
* DeathStar grabs a seat and sits down
* Garland grabs a dough-nut, munching
[DeathStar] That's what we're here to discuss, Kyouki.  What are we all going to do.
[Dominator] Well, Kyouki, what are you good at?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *takes the seat to DS' left*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... killing...
* Dominator takes a seat
[DeathStar] You could become a bounty hunter.
[DeathStar] For the right causes.
[Dominator] Ahh, well, then... uh, you could be... a police officer?
* Garland sits, away from everyone else for the most part, but remaining very vocal
* Garland glances at DS's mention of Bounty Hunters..
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] You'd trust an ex-maverick with your law system?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *frowns*
[Snipe] Times change.  Look at a lot of our origins.
[Dominator] Everyone has a chance for redemption, Kyouki... Even I was a maverick one... long ago... *trails off, not wanting to talk about that*
[Garland] Kyouki, the Sigma strain has been anihalated, why not?
* DeathStar remembers that battle with Cipher Sigma.
* Garland takes a huge bite out of the dough-nut
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *nods knowingly to Dom*
[Garland] I killed the bastard once, I got him again! ...Course I do miss Cipher eating the walls everynow and then.. *sigh*
[Dominator] Er... yes...
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe glances down
[Dominator] Anyway... DS... you were saying...?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I'd like to go back to the way I was... but I think that's impossible.
[DeathStar] Back to a Maverick?  Well, you know what would happen if you did, Kyouki.
* Dominator glances at Kyouki
* Garland sips his drink, reflecting
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] No... before then.
[Dominator] At any rate... Currently, I think Earth's top priority should be rebuilding... I've travelled around the world to observe and help supervise constructions and things are looking good, but there's still a lot left to do... Ideally, I'd like to see Earth's space program get going once again...
[Snipe] Also, is there really a need for Hunters anymore?
* Garland looks up
[Garland] Not at a whole. I personally will keep my fight going. Not against the Tsiv, but against planets fallen under tyranny of their own people.
[Dominator] Well, there will always be threats to Earth and its inhabitants security like terrorists. We must remain vigilant... Also, we can't be sure that other alien civilizations won't eventually become hostile to Earth, but that's a bit outside of the traditional jobs of the Hunters...
[DeathStar] I agree, Dom.  If Snipe's Armed Forces go off, then our jobs would be basically done.  We were fighting for many causes and I think we laid many of those to rest.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Well, I guess if you need me, I'll be there...
* Shadow_Hunter nods
[Dominator] Personally, I think that mainting the Hunters as a sort of elite Earth military force wouldn't be a bad idea... The new Hunters could be composed of the top soldiers, scientists, etc. from around the world... Maybe even some of us if we were so inclined... It would be good for public morale and also, I think, a wise precaution to take
*** KainAshbone is now known as GreyFox
* DeathStar nods
[Dominator] I hope our starfleet can be built up quicker, but that's exactly cheap and Earth's economy still has a lot of recovering to do...
[Snipe] Who would like to run the new Hunters?  Me?  I want some vacation time.
[DeathStar] ...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *perks* Scientists? *sighs and stares at the floor*
[DeathStar] I wouldn't mind getting a new generation of Hunters on their feet.  I mean, the fighting's done, but we do need to maintain defense.
[Garland] I have to admit this, we just got through defeating something far bigger than all of us. Simply living on Earth might be a strong asset in keeping Earth safe. Some might actually fear us.
* Snipe looks at his watch
[Snipe] Where the hell is the pizza I ordered for us.
[Dominator] If not one of us, I'm sure we could find someone capable of doing it in time... We don't need to recreate the Hunters immediately. The military in general still has a lot of recovering to do
* GreyFox walks up to the door, pizza in hand, and rings the bell
* Snipe glances and opens the office door
[GreyFox] Hot Mama Pizza!, open up.
* GreyFox drops the pizza, "Snipe!?"
[Dominator] Looks like it's just arrived, Snipe
[Snipe] ...Grey Fox?
* Shadow_Hunter looks at GreyFox "?"
[Dominator] ... There goes the pizza...
[DeathStar] Figures.
[Snipe] ...why are you delivering our pizza?
* GreyFox blinks, "what are all you guys doing here?"
* Garland tries to salvage the pizza
[Garland] Pizza... No.....
[GreyFox] Er...War's over man, gotta find something to do...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *laughs*
[Snipe] We agreed to have a meeting 5 months after we disbanned, remember?
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] *giggles*
[GreyFox] Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that, well I guess fate brought me here*walks inside*Nice place...
* Shadow_Hunter laughs lightly
[Snipe] ...*looks at Grey* Aren't you on the clock or something?
* Garland snickers, grabbing another dough-nut
[Dominator] Hello... Grey Fox
[GreyFox] Er..they can wait, this is important right!?
* DeathStar sips some coffee
* Snipe sits back down
[GreyFox] Howdy folks, guess Im here now*sits down*
[GreyFox] Er...sorry about the pizza..heh..hehe...
[Snipe] Well, Pizza Guy...I see you've picked an interesting line of work.
[GreyFox] Hey, it pays, and it doesnt require that I blow things up, better than nothing.
[Dominator] No... problem... Anyway, we were just talking about what we were all going to do now and the possibility of later reforming the Hunters to be carried on by a new generation of soldiers...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I think I'd prefer a job that does.
[Garland] I won't be needing to work for a long time... I made a couple million gil in some kind of owning a piece of a company trading thing.
[DeathStar] I just go on life day by day.
[GreyFox] Hey, Im in, I feel so out of place outside the battle field...I need to get that old feeling back.
* DeathStar finishes his coffee
[Snipe] I kinda like doing nothing.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] You too?
* Snipe leans back in his chair
[Snipe] No more leading the team into insane battle.s
[Syria] NRP: To GF
[Snipe] No more killer clowns.
[Snipe] No more Sigmas.
[Snipe] No more Grave hitting me upside the head.
[GreyFox] Well, doesnt sound like you want to go back...
* Shadow_Hunter laughs
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *sighs* Remember when we were repainting the command room...?
* GreyFox looks to Kyouki, "Yeah..I guess Im a born soldier..."
* DeathStar groans
[Dominator] *smiles at Snipe's last reason* Finally, things are peaceful... It's what we all, I assume, wanted
[DeathStar] Don't remind me.
[X1] NRP: [Grave] *runs in, smacks Snipe upside the head, runs back out*
[DeathStar] NRP: [Snipe] Dammit!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] At least you've always been one.
[Dominator] The command room never did look the same after that...
* Garland walks over to the window, looking over the city
[GreyFox] Sure, peace is nice, but in times of peace, there really isnt a place for people like us...do we really want that?
[Snipe] We have to change sometime.
[Snipe] It's part of growing up.
[Dominator] Personally, I do, Grey Fox. The only reason I fought in the first place was for peace... I hate war... and I'm glad it's gone
[Dominator] There's still a place for the military though and you could always join up with it again
* Shadow_Hunter nods
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I fought... because I needed to. I still do.
[GreyFox] Well...I wont have it, I say we re-instate the old team, and start some mercenary work, it could be like old times...the military cant handle me*grins*
* Shadow_Hunter likes Kyouki's stament
[DeathStar] No more crazy missions for me.  I'm all for training soldiers and running a military organization, but I'm done in the battlefield.
[Snipe] I'm ready to settle down myself.  Start a family.
[Dominator] I agree with Death Star... I'm glad to pass on my knowledge to help future generations of soldiers, but personally I've done my duty...
[GreyFox] Yeah, thats what I mean, sure, I could still go on a few missions, but you veterans would be better off training a new breed of soldier, ones that can keep the peace, not lose it.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] That would be worth not-fighting for.
* Shadow_Hunter nods "aye, i agree with that"
[Dominator] Even if I sometimes have to deal with students like the Special Unit wa-... er, just kidding
[Snipe] I still can't believe you guys had the sexual harassment thing going on.
* GreyFox shakes his head lightly, "Oi..."
[Dominator] Wasn't my idea... but still, remembering what you were like...
* Garland sighs, watching cars go by on the streets far below, dots to most of the others.
[Dominator] *glances up at Garland* Are you all right, Garland?
[Snipe] Hey, before the Hunters, my team was wild.  You should have seen what we were like, Grey.
* GreyFox looks to Garland, "What about you, what are you gonna do with the rest of your life?"
[Snipe] You came in when we were more professional.
* Snipe does a wolf whistle at Ariel
* DeathStar glares at Snipe
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *blinks at Snipe*
* Snipe smirks at DS
[GreyFox] Im sure, Ive seen that wild side in you John, Im sure you could train some good soldiers.
[Snipe] Just messin' with ya.
[DeathStar] Uh huh.
[Garland] Just thinking, Dad.
* GreyFox looks to DS, then to Snipe, then to DS, and makes a motion of thwaping Snipe, "Should I?"
[DeathStar] *smirks* Go for it.
[Snipe] ...
* GreyFox thwaps Snipe over the back of the head
[Snipe] OW!
[Snipe] GARION!
* GreyFox chuckles
[DeathStar] Cloaked Figure: *stands outside the door*
* Shadow_Hunter laughs
* Garland turns to look at the figure over his shoulder
* DeathStar turns to the figure
[Garland] ...
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe glances at the door
[GreyFox] Still cant resist doin' that....*looks to the figure*Hello..?
* Dominator spins around looking at the figure
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *looks over*
[Dominator] And you are...?
* Shadow_Hunter looks over aswell
[Snipe] Figure: *keeps his face down with the hood shadowing most of it, though some silver-gray hair can be seen*
[Snipe] Figure: It's been a while.
[Shadow_Hunter] ?
[DeathStar] ...who are you...?
[Snipe] ...I didn't order anything...
* Dominator stands, looking the figure over
[Snipe] Figure: *strolls into the room and walks along the table towards Death Star and Ariel* I'm here to help you.
* Snipe stands up
[Snipe] This is a private meeting.  Quit playing riddles.
[Dominator] Help us, huh? How?
* DeathStar studies the figure
* Shadow_Hunter watchs the figure closly
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] ...help?
* GreyFox looks at the figure the whole time, sweat pouring down his brow
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] You'll get rid of the programming?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Start explaining.
[Garland] ?
[Snipe] Figure: You're all confused.  I'm going to help you remember.  *reaches out and touches DS head, which literally causes the Hunter to collapse out of the chair and hit the ground.  He continues to touch him*
[DeathStar] ARGH
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] WHAT THE?!!! *jumps up*
[Garland] HEY!
* DeathStar grabs his head and roars in pain
* Garland reaches for his sword, but finds it not there
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] HEY!
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *grabs the man*
[Garland] Dammit! *holds out his hand* Back off!
[Dominator] Death Star!
[Shadow_Hunter] what the?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] LET ME KILL HIM!
[Snipe] Figure: If you can't survive this, none of them can.  C'mon, Death Star.  *Turns to the otherS* Do not stop me.  If you interrupt me, you'll kill him
* Snipe keeps his hands on Death Star
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] He dies, you die.
[Dominator] Let him go...
[DeathStar] My...mind...is...ripping itself...apart....
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *steps back*
* Snipe advances
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] HOW COULD YOU?!!!!
[Snipe] ...can we believe him?
* GreyFox stands up slowly, "Listen pal, Im gonna rip you to shreds if you dont make him better!"
[Garland] NRP:  And yet he can say that.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *also advances on the man*
[Snipe] I think we should stop him, Death Star's literally shaking to death it seems.
[Snipe] Figure: It'll be over in a minute, but I must finish, without interruption.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *nods*
* Garland forms a ball of energy in his hand, the light beams swirling. It's obvious Garland has not been slacking off
[Garland] ......
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] SHUT UP! I WON'T LET YOU!
[Snipe] Figure: You don't let me, he'll die.
* GreyFox stands and glances to Dom, "Alright...what do we do here?"
[Snipe] Figure: I can't stop once the process begins.  I'm NOT experienced enough
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *gribs Kyouki's shoulder firmly*
* Snipe grabs a rifle he hid under the table
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... Don't you dare do it to anyone else...
[Dominator] Hold on... What are you trying to do to him
* Shadow_Hunter stads up and looks at the figure
[Snipe] Figure: *pulls back his hand and Death Star smashes face first onto the ground.  The figure sways back, but keeps himself composed and hidden*
* DeathStar breathes slowly
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *wipes tears from her eyes*
* GreyFox pulls the pistol he always carries around with him and points it at the figure, "Hands up you son of a B**ch."
* Snipe aims it at the figure at the same time as Grey
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Let me go, Ariel.
[Snipe] Figure: *looks at Grey and steps back, not moving* I shall not move.  Just wait.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] WHY?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Don't do anything rash. *let's go*
* GreyFox walks over to DS, aiming at the figure the whole time, then reaches down and touchs his forehead, "DS, you alright man?"
[Snipe] Figure: Why?  Because I want to see if he can survive it.  If not, then none of you would be able to.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *glares*
* DeathStar pushes himself up, oblivious to anyone
[DeathStar] ..wha...?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] You want to tear *ALL* our minds apart?
[GreyFox] Are YOU alright?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] DS! Are you okay?
[Dominator] ...
* DeathStar looks at Grey, then Ariel, then at the figure
* Garland blinks, waving the ball off
[DeathStar] ...Her...mes?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Who?
[Shadow_Hunter] what?!
[GreyFox] What the hell does that mean?
[Snipe] Hermes: What do you remember, Death Star?
[Syria] NRP: Any chance of Oshimai appearing, BTW?
[DeathStar] NRP: Not in this timeline, sorry.
[Syria] NRP: Okay.
[GreyFox] Did you say...Hermes?
[Sierra] NRP: Thought so...
[DeathStar] NRP: Note, Hermes was killed in this reality, so it might seem weird he's here.
* DeathStar stands up, swaying and grabs the table for support
[Dominator] Hermes...?
* Garland just blinks in confusion.
[Dominator] Easy there, DS
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] What the'ell...?
* GreyFox looks up at Hermes, "What the hell...dead man walkin...?"
[DeathStar] I remember...too much...mind is on fire.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] What...?
[Dominator] *turns to the figure, Thunder Bolt pointed at him* What did you do to him?!
[Snipe] Hermes: ...
[Snipe] Hermes: What does it look like.  I just gave his mind a good slap.
[Snipe] Hermes: Sheesh.
[Shadow_Hunter] ?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Okay, EVERYBODY. Put your weapons down.
[Dominator] ...Why?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
* DeathStar turns to him
* GreyFox stands up pointing his gun at Hermes, "Alright you lousy sun of a gun, what are you doing here and why did you do that?"
[DeathStar] Dying..I died...maverick...retirement...evil...ruling the galaxy...but all that's...fake.
[DeathStar] ...what's my real memories?
[Dominator] In my book, you don't just come in and start messing up someone's mind, you at least ask first... I don't know who you think you are Hermes
* Shadow_Hunter looks at DS
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I agree with Dominator.
[Snipe] Hermes: I think I'm Chronos.  Back off.
[GreyFox] Dying, maverick retirement, evil ruling the galaxy, what's going on?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] ...Chronos?
[DeathStar] ...Chronos?  *looks at him* The balance point?
[Dominator] You're...what?
[Shadow_Hunter] What..you Chronos??
[Garland] Wha?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I don't care who you think you are. I can't accept what you did.
[DeathStar] We were there and Chronos died.  *grabs Hermes* We were all knocked into other realities
[Dominator] That's right
[Snipe] Hermes: You DO remember, DS.  Unfortantly, it seems you've picked up the memories of every role you assumed in the realities.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] What?
[GreyFox] Chronos...your the new chronos?!
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] ...DS... Are you okay?
* DeathStar looks at the others
[DeathStar] ...you guys...don't remember...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Remember what?
* Dominator turns to DS
[Garland] Remember?
* Snipe looks at dom
[Snipe] I think DS' has gone insane from what Hermes did.
[Shadow_Hunter] Aye, remember what?
[GreyFox] What dont we remember?
* DeathStar looks at Hermes
[DeathStar] Make them remember.
[DeathStar] Hermes: Think they'll let me?
[Snipe] ...hey, you're NOT touching my head.
[GreyFox] Do we all have amnesia, is this mass hystaria, what?*steps forward*Make me remeber!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] WHAT?!!!
[Snipe] Hermes: *shrugs and touches Grey's head*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I should go first, I have nothing to lose.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] I'm prepared...
* Garland glares at Hermes "I have problems with personal space. Know that."
[Snipe] Hermes: Note, if you're not mentally strong enough, you'll probably go insane.
* GreyFox falls over, shaking involuntarily, "Je..sus..."
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] TOO LATE!
[Dominator] Death Star... what is going on? What do you rememebr now?
* DeathStar stands there, trying to sort out his memories
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *bursts out laughing*
[DeathStar] I remember...so many things.
[Dominator] Such as...?
[Snipe] Hermes: *edges away from Kyouki* You scare me.
[DeathStar] Every reality that we were knocked into.
[DeathStar] Even this one.
[DeathStar] But it's not ujs.
[Garland] Wait wait wait, you guys are just going to let this guy do some voodoo to us just because he did it to DS, hell, we don't know what he did!
[Snipe] ...I agree, Garland.
[Snipe] Look at Grey.  He's twitching.
* GreyFox stops shaking after a minute or so, getting up slowly, looking at DS with a strange eye
[Snipe] This is all insane.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Well, I can't get any worse...
[Snipe] Hermes: *reaches out and touches Kyouki gingerly*
[Dominator] But that's all over now that we're back, have been back in our true dimension for five months
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *twitches*
[Garland] Hermes died, and here he comes giving everyone epileptic seizures. I don't buy it.
* Snipe stays as far from Hermes as possible
[Snipe] Great, now he's got Kyouki.
[Snipe] Hermes: *reaches out and touches Ariel* 
[Syria] NRP: Kyouki didn't come along, so will she remember anything?
[GreyFox] You*points to DS*You died...*points to Snipe*And you, you helped me retire reploids with CorSec, but you died too, *looks back to DS*You were the reason he died...*looks to Garland*And you saved a country from utter destruction...*glances downward*And I...I killed Snipe...and many other things...
[Shadow_Hunter] Grey..you ok?
[Snipe] NRP: She'll remember a wave hitting her, that's about it.  She won't know about Chronos.
[Snipe] ...hello?
* Snipe waves hand in front of Grey
[Snipe] I'm right here.
[Snipe] I'm not dead.
[Syria] NRP: No other selves?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *flinces, then holds still*
[Dominator] Hermes... just what is it you're trying to tell us?
[Garland] Kind of a generalized thing, saving a country, no?
[Snipe] NRP: She'll remember some realities, yes.
[GreyFox] Im fine, just fine, I remeber it all now...I know your not dead, but it was a different reality, all of us, we were all in different realities, dont you remeber what happened after the Chronos died!?
[Syria] NRP: Okay.
[Snipe] Hermes: Oh, just this.  *whaps Dom and begins to the process*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] @_@
[Dominator] Ahh...!
* DeathStar looks at them all, still a bit stunned
* Dominator grits teeth as the process takes effect
[Snipe] Hermes: For an ambassador, you sure scream funny.
[Snipe] Hermes: *looks at SH, Snipe, and Gar*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Who's Chronos?
[DeathStar] Watcher of realities.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I remember being other people, but... *blinks*
[Dominator] What...are...y...you...doing...
[Garland] Stay back.
* DeathStar seems to have sorted everything out
[Snipe] You come near me, I'll break your arm.
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] My head is spinning, stumbles...
* GreyFox sits down, his body shaking a bit, "Jesus...we all were a part of this, yet, none of us remeber...and this is why it happened, him*points to Hermes*He was meant to be the new chronos...thats why we all went through other realities, it was a test, and it looks like Hermes got the high score.
* Dominator falls backwards, a wave of memories coming to him
[Snipe] Hermes: Ooo, did I get a higher grade than you?
[Shadow_Hunter] Oi..
[GreyFox] It would seem so, your the new chronos.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Figures I wouldn't be chosen.
[Snipe] Hermes: And my mom said I'd never amount to anything.
[Snipe] Hermes: *whaps SH upside the head* Remember.
* Snipe stands by Gar
[Snipe] What do you think we should do?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Funny, my... creator said I'd be revolutionary...
[Shadow_Hunter] Gah.. *shakes a bit and stubles back into his chair, like he was drunk*
[Snipe] Hermes: *stares at Gar and Snipe* C'mon you two.
[GreyFox] Jeez...Im gonna be constantly worried about space and time, I hope the test was right..*shakes head*...
[Garland] I'd say get the hell out of here. Stock up on weapons and find out what the hell he just did to our friends.
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] *steps forward*
[Snipe] Yeah, but, they're between us and the door.
[Snipe] Hermes: *smiles at spirit and touches her arm* You too.
* Garland swacks him on the back of the head
[Snipe] OW!
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [Both of us.]
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm still the same...
[Garland] You're denser than me. Teleporting...
* GreyFox stands up, putting his hand on Garland and Snipe's shoulders, "Come on, get it over with!"
[Snipe] Hermes: Of course.
[Snipe] ...Grey, let go!
[Garland] NRP: I will not become part of the collective! I refuse to be assimilated!
[DeathStar] NRP: Join the TAW...
[Dominator] Impossible... *rubs head* no of... these memories... happened... or did it? 
* GreyFox lets go, "Alright..cant make you do something you dont want to...unless I do this..*pistol whips Garland and Snipe, knocking them to the ground*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Don't ask me.
* Garland glares at Grey
* Snipe stands back up, rubbing his head
* Shadow_Hunter shakes his head "ok.."
[Snipe] You're going to pay for that, Garion
[Garland] That hurts, don't do that again!
[Snipe] Hermes: *walks over and touches Garland* You're turn.
* Garland pulls back
[Garland] Back off!
[Snipe] Hermes: *holds on tight* Don't fight
[Syria] NRP: Hrm... Hotaru won't remember anything.
[Garland] STOP IT!
[Snipe] Hermes: Nevah!
[Syria] NRP: When she even appears.
[Snipe] GARLAND!
* GreyFox chuckles, "Its gonna hurt even more in a bit, I was just warming you up", walks up behind Garland and pushes him forward, "Come on...live a little!"
* Garland fights his grip, clenching his eyes
[Snipe] Hermes: *hums a song while he forces Garland to remember*
* Dominator glances at the others, becoming aware of what's going on outside again
* DeathStar watches Garland and the others, arms crossed
[DeathStar] It'll be okay, kid.
* Garland doesn't shake like everyone else, but yells loudly in pain
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] And now I really don't know what I'm going to do.
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [Am I destined to always die...?]
* GreyFox walks over to DS, chuckling while he goes, "Jeez...guy cant take a hint..."
* Snipe whaps Hermes
[Snipe] Let him go.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] . o O (Am I destined to always be crazy?)
[Snipe] Hermes: Ow!  HEY!
* Snipe bonks Hermes
[GreyFox] Jeez..bring down the wrath of the keeper of time will ya!
[Snipe] Hermes: Back off!  Lunatic!
[DeathStar] Bring the wrath of Hermes?  HAh.
* Dominator is deep in thought because of his new "memories"
[Snipe] Hermes: *lets Garland go, finished, and grabs Snipe*  Okay, spunky.
*** ^Pana^^ has joined #TAW
[GreyFox] Heh, well...maybe not...but Im sure he will get more powerful with time...
* Garland puts his hands on his head, gritting his teeth as things fall into place
[Garland] NRP: Session.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Sometimes I'm human, but I'm always crazy...
[Snipe] GYAAAH
[Snipe] Hermes: *lets Snipe go and dusts his hands off* Well, I restored balance and order.
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [Hotaru...?]
* Snipe holds his head and shakes it
* Garland stands up, blinking
[Dominator] *moves over to Garland* Are you okay, Garland...?
[Snipe] So many memories...Matsuoka...Stiletto...Elayne...
[Garland] Damn.. that was a perverbial rush.
[GreyFox] Balance and order, you almost killed Garland and John..wait...that would restore order at sometimes wouldnt it...*grins*
[Snipe] What's...real/
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] War. Death.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Madness.
[DeathStar] Hermes: *walks over* Give me a break.  I'm just getting the hang of this.
[Shadow_Hunter] NRP: gah..gtg..Laterz ppl
[Syria] NRP: Seeya.
[DeathStar] NRP: Later.
[GreyFox] NRP:Later Clayton
*** Shadow_Hunter has left #TAW
* Garland takes off the glasses and looks at them
[DeathStar] GM: *the sky is getting darker and many clouds can be seen*
[Dominator] NRP: N-... Late again
[DeathStar] Hermes: Soon you'll be back in your original bodies, once we leave this dimension
* Snipe stands up, looking around
[Garland] Uh... Yeah...
[Snipe] Whoa...rush...I feel like I took a bunch of drugs...
[GreyFox] Yeah, I was just about to say...me a pizza delivery guy, yeah right.
[Dominator] *glances at Hermes*
[DeathStar] What the hell happened to us?  I mean, .... who knocked us into these realities?
[DeathStar] I remember why, to draw out the new Chronos...but...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Some sort of wave...
[Garland] The same man that killed the last Chronos, I assume.
[GreyFox] Yeah...thats one thing I still dont understand...if the old chronos was dead, who put us in the test...
[DeathStar] Hermes: I don't even know.  I've been searching for you guys.  *Holds out a rod* This helps me channel my powers.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Hrm...
[Dominator] Whoever or whatever it was... we need to find out
[DeathStar] Hermes: The guy looking for the Prime Reality.  Whoever he is, he's one bad dude.
[GreyFox] No, remeber, he said something was after him...and then that voice...the one that said it would find out who was the new chronos and kill them.
* Snipe leans on the table
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] So we have to protect this... Hermes?
[DeathStar] Hermes: Aww, gee, you'll protect me?  *hugs Kyouki*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *blinks*
* GreyFox shakes his head lightly, "Jeez...Hermes...never changes.."
[Garland] Heh.. Out of all those realities, I think I liked the one where I was one of tho--Err... *blushes embarrassed, remembering it*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Thankyou... I think...
[Snipe] My mind feels like it's on acid.
[Dominator] *glances at Garland*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I liked the one where I was human.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Wait a second... Garland?
[DeathStar] GM: *it's totally pitch black outside and lightning bolts flash*
[GreyFox] I particualry liked the one where you were Garland's mother....*chuckles*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] And you were even more crazy than me.
* Garland glances at Kyouki
[GreyFox] Your right*grins*
* Dominator glances around
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [Is... Hotaru here...?]
[Garland] Gee, thanks....
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] . o {Hotaru?}
[Snipe] Hotaru!
[Snipe] Wait, I can hear thoughts?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Who's Hotaru?
* Snipe taps head
[Snipe] Huh, I guess Hermes temporarily knocked my psionic blockade down.
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [You can hear me snipe?!]
[Snipe] Yes, I can, Stiletto!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... I can tell my own voices from others!
* Garland blinks
* Snipe blushes, remembering that one reality
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Getting reprogrammed can leave you... unstable.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Especially when it's done twice.
[Sierra] [[6Spirit]] *hugs Snipe, but has a mythed look on her face*
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Dominator] *shakes his head* I can't get used to remembering... so many realities
[Garland] Lemme guess, you remembered the one with the...?
* Snipe hugs Spiirt back
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I never thought It'd be an advantage...
[DeathStar] ...I take it I missed a few realities.
* DeathStar looks at Spirit and Snipe
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I must have too... I don't remember any 'Hotaru'.
[DeathStar] Hermes: Shame, once we leave this reality, Snipe's psionic blockade will return.  Oh well.
[DeathStar] Hey, you and me both.
[Syria] NRP: Or possibly she was just an ordinary lunatic in those.
[DeathStar] GM: *lightning smashes into the window and shatters it*
[DeathStar] ---?!
[SOUND]
[Dominator] What now?!
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [...I have to find what happened to her-aaaah!]
[DeathStar] The sky...it's pitch black.
[Snipe] What the?
* GreyFox shudders, "Alright..what the heck is going on?"
* Snipe looks at the window
[Snipe] Wasn't it just sunny?
[DeathStar] Hermes: *clucks tongue* We got trouble.
[Dominator] Can you be more specific than that?
[DeathStar] Hermes: *opens up a portal back to their reality* Come on, lets go.  Garland, you first.
[Garland] NRP: Alright, who summoned the dragon!? I told you to wait so I could wish for that issue of Women of Esper.net!
[GreyFox] Yeah...and wasnt that just a busy street, I remeber the traffic being horrible on the way here.
[Garland] Me?
[DeathStar] Hermes: That thing that killed Chronos is here.
[DeathStar] Hermes: Yes, you.  You're the blockhead who gave me the most trouble, YOU GO FIRST.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Okay, let's run.
[Garland] Hey now wait a minute... Oh fuddy duddy, fine.
* Garland jumps through.
[DeathStar] Hermes: *is nailed in the side by a blast as garland enters the the portal and it turns a weird color* RAGH
[GreyFox] NRP:*hands Garland one of his women of esper net magazines, "Merry New Years or something.."*
[Dominator] Great... *draws Rune Sword, which he was still carrying around out of habit and love for the sword*
[DeathStar] ...GARLAND!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... I didn't stop to fight to the death...
* Dominator leaps to the floor
[X1] NRP: [Heremes] Now let's wait a moment as I eat my cake.
[DeathStar] Portal: *vanishes and sends Garland to the wrong area*
[DeathStar] Hermes: *rolls along the floor*
[Snipe] Dammit!?
* Snipe looks around
[Snipe] What hit him?
[Dominator] Garland!
[DeathStar] GAAAARLAND!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Well, change of plan. *guards Hermes*
[Dominator] Hermes, are you all right? *looks around for what hit Hermes*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] He's gone.
* GreyFox shakes his head, "Is he dead..?"
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *checks for a pulse*
[DeathStar] Hermes: *Stands up, but another blast flies out, goes through Hermes chest, and sends him flying out the window*
[DeathStar] ---!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Oops.
[DeathStar] Voice: I will kill the new Chronos.  And then, all will be mine.
[Dominator] Holy...
[Snipe] ----*flinches at the sound of the impact*
[DeathStar] Dammit, Hermes is our only hope of finding Garland.
* DeathStar leaps out the window
[Dominator] We'll see about that... *fires Thunder Bolt in the direction of the voice*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *follows, sprouting wings*
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Show yourself coward!
* DeathStar goes into a freefall
[GreyFox] Jesus, that voice*runs to the window where Hermes flew out and jumps out after DS*
[DeathStar] Voice: I defeated you all last time with a simple wave that knocked you into other realities.
* Dominator leaps out of the window flying with Azure Crystal
* DeathStar picks up speed, but has no way to stop
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe looks around
[GreyFox] YO..wait up!*is flying downward extremely fast*
[Snipe] Dammit, if I find you.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Simple?
* Dominator tries to locate the source of the voice
* DeathStar slams into the pavement
* DeathStar stands up and sways
* GreyFox slams into DS
[DeathStar] ARGH
* DeathStar is driven back into the ground
* Syria flies down to try and find Hermes.
[DeathStar] Hermes: *lays on the ground, a crater around him*
[GreyFox] Ow...my head...er...thanks for breaking my fall.
[Syria] NRP: Kyouki does.
[DeathStar] ...any...time
* DeathStar stands up and runs over to Hermes
* GreyFox jumps up and runs to Hermes, "YO, you ok dude!?"
* Dominator slows speed
[DeathStar] GM: *it begins to pour down rain and lightning flashes by Dominator*
* Snipe looks out the window
[Snipe] I am NOT jumping out 45 stories.
[Dominator] Whoa! *decides to land and lands near DS and GreyFox*
[DeathStar] Hermes: *Strains and begins to whisper into DS' ear*
[Dominator] ... *looks at the crater*
[SOUND]
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Hey, Hermes? You haven't died, have you?
* GreyFox looks to Dom, "Nice of you to drop in...*chuckles*"
[DeathStar] Lightning: *strikes down on the ground*
* GreyFox jumps
[Dominator] And now we have lightning...
[Dominator] NRP: No rain though, I assume
[DeathStar] Hermes: *coughs and hands DS his rod, then falls back lifeless, sparking*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Niiiiiice.
[DeathStar] NRP: It's raining.
[Dominator] What game is this guy playing...
* DeathStar stands in the rain, holding the rod
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
[DeathStar] *a dark shadow appears*
[GreyFox] Alright, who turned on the water works?
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe runs for the elevator
* Dominator whips around toward the dark shadow, aiming Thunder Bolt at it
[DeathStar] *moves towards those outside*
* GreyFox pulls his gun out, aiming at the shadow, "Freeze!"
*** Chronos has joined #taw
* GreyFox fires one shot, then decides he better not mess with the large shadowy figure
* Chronos forms from the shadows, the original Chronos that was "killed"
[Dominator] Huh...?! Chronos?!
[DeathStar] What the?
[GreyFox] Whoa...Chronos...what are you doing here?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *blinks* That's Chronos?
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] How...?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *blinks* I thought Hermes was Chronos...
* Chronos laughs evilly and raises a hand, a wave slamming into GreyFox* Fools.
[Chronos] He would have been the new chronos.  But you idiots helped me spot him.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
[DeathStar] ....you're the guy who's looking for the Prime Reality!
[Dominator] Grey Fox!
[Chronos] That's right.  I faked my own death.  And you simpletons never even knew it.
* GreyFox flies backward and slides down a wall after slamming into it, then gets up with a limp, "Ugh..son of a bitch...what side of the bed did you wake up on..?"
* Snipe runs out from the lobby and slides in next to Dom
[Snipe] Chronos?!
[Dominator] *hisses to Snipe* He faked his death...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Why?
[Snipe] What?
* GreyFox fires two shots at Chronos, "Alright you lousy good for nothing demi-god, Nobody slams giant waves of energy into me and gets away with it!"
[Dominator] Why, Chronos, why are you doing this?
[Chronos] I refuse to die out like the other Chronos.  I will take total power with the Prime Reality and live forever.
* Chronos takes the shots
[Chronos] ...fool.  I could tear you out of this very reality.
* Snipe grabs his rifle
* GreyFox stops shooting, "Guess this is no good", throws down gun
[Snipe] So, do we really plan on taking on some inhuman thing?
[SOUND]
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] Sounds like fun.
[DeathStar] No.
[GreyFox] I dont think we would fare very well....
* DeathStar steps back
[DeathStar] Everyone, GO!  Head back for the building.  
[GreyFox] Yo DS, didnt Hermes give you that rod lookin thing?
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] So you're giving up?
[Snipe] What?  Run?
* Chronos laughs evilly
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] I'm not going to let you face him alone DS!
[Chronos] Giving up is the only choice you got.
* GreyFox runs back into the building, then heads up the stairs, "Orders are orders...heck, Im not arguing."
[DeathStar] ...
*** Kiki has joined #taw

[Snipe] Hey, you're not the leader just yet, buddy.  I'm staying.
[GreyFox] NRP:Session...
[DeathStar] ...
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm not giving up.
*** Dominator has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Aracxus)))
* Chronos throws another wave that hits everyone in front of him back ten feet
* DeathStar slides along the ground
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *stands her ground*
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *flies backwards*
[DeathStar] We...have to run.
* DeathStar stands up
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *gets up again*
[DeathStar] And I'm not joking.
* GreyFox turns around and sees that nobody has followed his path, then walks back down the stairs and yells out the door, "Hey, your not gonna beat that guy, I suggest you let DS take care of the planning."
*** Dominator has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Dominator
* DeathStar runs for the building
[DeathStar] Lets GO!
[Snipe] ...he's really running!?
* Snipe looks at DS
* GreyFox turns around and starts running back up the stairs
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] ... yes... *runs too*
[Chronos] He's wiser than you.
* Chronos raises his hand at Snipe
* Dominator glnaces back at Chronos, then DS, but starts running after DS
[Dominator] Snipe! Watch out!
[Chronos] ...
[Sierra] [[6Ariel]] *follows DS*
* Snipe runs
[Snipe] Yeah, right, see ya.
* Chronos laughs and fades out
* DeathStar stands in the lobby and looks at the rod
[DeathStar] Okay, lets see.
[Dominator] What are you planning on doing, DS...?
* GreyFox stands next to DS, huffing and puffing, "Alright..is there a Plan B?"
[DeathStar] Hermes told me that he had transferred enough power into this thing to open portals between realities.  I'm using this thing to get us back out of here so we can find the others and come up with some plan.
[GreyFox] What about Garland?
[Snipe] But if Hermes is dead, wouldn't stopping Chronos be, impossible?
* DeathStar shakes head
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Including Garland and that... Hotaru?
[Dominator] Are you sure that'll work?
[DeathStar] We'll have to find him later.  I don't even know where the hell he went.
[GreyFox] Well what are we supposed to do then?
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [We can't leave Hotaru out here!]
[Snipe] Stiletto's right.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Well, where are we supposed to find her?
[DeathStar] The Hotaru YOU guys know isn't OUR Hotaru.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] For all we know, she could be dead.
[DeathStar] If our reality HAS a Hotaru, we'll meet up with her one day.
[DeathStar] But we can't go snatching Hotarus from other realities.
[Dominator] ...Death Star's right
[GreyFox] Look, we all love the gal and all, but we are in the middle of a fight with a near GOD, do we really want to go out looking for Hotaru, You guys go ahead, Im stickin with DS's theory.
[Dominator] Well... let's try this...
[Syria] NRP: Hotaru/Oshimai's bio is going to be worked on.
[Snipe] He's right.  The Hotaru we met wasn't thrust into the same warp we were.
[Garland] NRP: Garland: I eat gods for breakfast.
[Snipe] The Hotaru of our reality is probably fine.
[Snipe] Though she won't know us.
* Snipe sighs
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [A-alright...]
[Sierra] [[6Stiletto]] [We'll wait for her Snipe.]
* DeathStar opens up a portal
[GreyFox] NRP:Kain: I eat frosted flakes for breakfast!
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] Will we be able to restore her memories?
[DeathStar] Impossible.  We can't give Hotaru some other Hotaru's memories.
[Garland] NRP: [Garland] I eat mutants for--nevermind.
[DeathStar] I'm not God, I'm not playing God.
[GreyFox] Alright, so I go through this thingy and get back to the real reality, right?
[Syria] NRP: Kyouki: I eat Enkios for breakfast! Little ferretshaped Os that scream when you eat them.
[DeathStar] Yes, you'll be back in OUR reality.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] But you can give me some other Kyouki's memories?
* GreyFox jumps through the portal with a yell, "Bombs away!"
[Garland] NRP: Hee hee.
* Snipe steps through
[DeathStar] That's because you lived that Kyouki's experiences.
* Dominator passes through
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm glad I did.
[DeathStar] Chronos screwed all realities with what he did.  
[DeathStar] I don't know if the damage could ever be repaired.
[DeathStar] Alright, head on through guys.
[Syria] 3[4Kyouki3] *steps through*
[DeathStar] *looks outside at the raging storm*
* DeathStar leaps through
[DeathStar] Session Ends
