Session 114: The Maverick Hunters

[X`] Time Chart: Shortly After Session 86
[X`] Location: Some Plains, Earth
[X`] GM: The Earth has been taken over by the Mavericks in the events of 85.
[X`] GM: Though restored from the wasteland that it was, Sigma had recreated where Mavericks are in control of every major city that been recreated.
[X`] GM: The survivors of the entire Earth conflict now live under the rule of Excaliber, who is the leader of the Mavericks.  X and Zero are trying to get together members to fight back and reclaim Earth...
[Gorgon] NRP: So most of the mavs are "fake"
* X` looks up at the blue sky in silence
[X`] NRP: Real or fake, they're alive.
*** Arso_Vensire has joined #taw
[Gorgon] NRP: K
[Gorgon] NRP: So I wouldn't have a new arm I'm guessing
[X`] NRP: No
* SlashReaver stands firmly next to Zero, a new member to the resistence
* Zero`` glances around, silent as usual
* Gorgon sits on a rock his left(?) arm no longer there
[X`] This doesn't look good...
[Zero``] It never does.
[SlashReaver] Course it doesnt...we're outmatched, outnumbered and overpowered, what can we possibly do?
[X`] *sighs* I don't know.  I was hoping we could find more people willing to fight the Mavericks.  But most seem too happy that the Earth is back to normal to care.
[Zero``] What do you expect, X?  The Earth was a dying wasteland.  Sigma restored it.  The people are all too happy to have greenlands, fresh water, and clean air again to even think about fighting.
[Gorgon] But how long will such false happyness last?
[X`] *shakes head* Not long.  The Mavericks will grow tired of the humans sooner or later and begin the mass genocide.
[X`] All this fighting is senseless...
[SlashReaver] Aye, not long, Sigma will start tightening his grip soon, and the people will see what true evil is...
[Gorgon] And thats when we'll be there to give them a new sense of hope
[Zero``] It'll be too late by then.  We need to strike them before they get bored.
[SlashReaver] But we have to act before he can start mass genocide...
[X`] I don't know much about this Excaliber fellow.  I mean, is he as evil as Sigma...?
[SlashReaver] Even the loss of one human life is to high a price to pay.
[SlashReaver] Who knows...perhaps he has good intentions?
[SlashReaver] Maybe we should go talk to him before we start an attack.
[Gorgon] I doubt it..
[Zero``] Doubtful.  He rubbed it in our faces he had control of Earth.
[SlashReaver] He may have just been caught up in the heat of the moment, we must remeber, he had reason to boast...
[X`] Yeah, maybe talking is a good idea...if we can work this out peacefully.
[Zero``] *snorts* Don't be so naive.  He'll take the chance to kill us.
[SlashReaver] Not if we come prepared.
[Gorgon] Always the pacifist you were claimed to be..
[X`] ..
* X` sighs
[Gorgon] Sorry...*gets up*
[SlashReaver] X, you've fought your war out of harder battles then this...Im sure if he turns hostile on us we can at least make an escape.
[Gorgon] We should make our move..
[Zero``] Well, if you want to go chat with him, lets head for Mega City.  He set up his headquarters there, my sources tell me.
[SlashReaver] (Way even*)
* SlashReaver mutters, "Do we have any chasers?"
[Zero``] No.
[SlashReaver] Guess we're walkin...
* X` adjusts his tanish helmet
[X`] Let's go.  It's only a few miles.
[SlashReaver] Aye *starts walking in the direction of Mega City*
* Zero`` follows
* X` jogs after them
* Gorgon jobs after him
[Hikari] 10* A seems to vanish
[Hikari] NRP: A SHADOW even
* X` walks along, enjoying the scenary.
[Gorgon] NRP: YEAH!!! *Got his Doughboy clip on watch*
[X`] The Earth is as beautiful as it was 90 years ago...
[Gorgon] Your that old?
* SlashReaver walks along, "I wasnt around to see it then..Ive only seen wasteland..."
[X`] I suppose I am.
* Zero`` gives X a glance
* X` nods and shuts up
[X`] GM: *a while later, outside Mega City*
* X` crouches and glances at the city
* Zero`` stops and leans against a tree, looking around
[Zero``] It looks deserted.  I detect no human life.
* Gorgon plucks and apple down from the tree Zero's leaning against
[Gorgon] Reploid life?
[Zero``] Yeah, around 200.  Looks like a lot of mavericks came with the recreation of Earth.
[Zero``] Plus they have lots of goons.  Attack tanks, cars, planes...
*** `Mina` has joined #taw
*** `Mina` has left #taw
[X`] ...
[X`] Alright, let me think...
* SlashReaver glares at the city, "Lets do this then..."
[Gorgon] Sewer system?
[X`] If we just walk casually towards the city, we shouldn't look threatening.
[Gorgon] Besides me being human?
[X`] You can stay here if you want.
[SlashReaver] Hope their security isnt to tight.
[Gorgon] I'm coming...

[X`] This is eerie.  No traffic.  No patrols.
* Gorgon follows after X keeping his face covered
[Gorgon] Probably no need to..
* SlashReaver looks around, "Nope..what do they have to fear?"

[`Mina`] Who are you to think you can just talk to Lord Excalibur?
* Coko pops up from behind Minas shoulder and sits on it
[Coko] HOo HOo?!
* `Mina` looks at Coko, "NO Coko, get down darnit!"
[X`] NRP: Note, it IS ExcalibEr.  His sword is Excalibur.
* Coko screeches
* SlashReaver glares at Mina, ready to draw his weapons at any second

* Coko pulls himself up on Mina's head and rummages through it

[X1] NRP: Crucifixtion was misspelled because we didn't know how to spell it.
* Coko screeches and falls to the ground

[X`] We would prefer not to fight.
[Gorgon] Peaceful terms...
* `Mina` shakes Coko off the rifle and curses, "Fine...but its only because you have precedence...M'lord wanted to see you anyways.."

[Zero``] And the humans?
[Excaliber] They can live.  As long as they serve me.
* SlashReaver stays silent
* X` clenches his fist
[Gorgon] You didn't like it when you were forced to serve someone correct? Then why do it to smeone else?
* SlashReaver whispers to X, "Sir..why didnt the black one leave if he is one of theirs..?"
[Hikari] [BlackReploid] *holds a small black orb passively*

[Excaliber] But I'm not Sigma.
[Excaliber] I am unlike anything any of you have ever faced before.
[SlashReaver] No..but your weaker than he is...you cant stand up to anyone by yourself.
[SlashReaver] Oh, and what would that be?
[Excaliber] Then let the battle begin, Hunter.
* SlashReaver looks at X, "Do we fight?"

[SlashReaver] Maverick...but why did he help us back there?

[Zero``] But hurry while I hold him off!

[Seraphna] NRP: Ariel] What else is new...
[Zero``] NRP: .... *sighs* This is DS before 100, remember?  DS went insane?
* Zero`` slams into a wall, bleeding
[Seraphna] NRP: :)
[X`] Hard to say.  DS trained him.  Zero grew superior.
[X`] But that was 90 years ago.

* DeathStar stands there for a few moments, panting
* DeathStar puts his saber up and turns around
[DeathStar] I've proven my point.  I'll let you live.  Don't ever cross my path again.
* DeathStar walks off towards a field where flowers are growing
[Hikari] [[6Kokuei]] *helps Zero up* "You alright?"
* Zero`` holds his side, glad his armor is repairing his damage
[Zero``] I'm...fine...
* DeathStar bends down, picking up two flowers growing intertwined, and walks off
*** DeathStar has quit IRC (Leaving)

[Hikari] [[6Kokuei]] "Let's get you back to the others..." *helps Zero to the others*
[Zero``] Right...
* X` sees Kokuei coming with Zero
[X`] Zero!  You're hurt!
[SlashReaver] Thank god he's alive though.
* Zero`` winces in pain as he walks towards the group with Kokuei's help
[Zero``] It looks...like we'll be fighting after all, X.
[SlashReaver] Where should we go now..?
[X`] ...yeah.  *sighs* I just hope we can win.
* X` glances up across the field
[X`] Lets search the area.  Maybe we can find some others who will be willing to join us.  I know this fight is going to take many, many months.
[X`] We'll come back to Mega City when we're sure we can win.
[Hikari] [[6Kokuei]] "That's optimistic."
* SlashReaver stands up and glances out towards the field, "Perhaps we should find somewhere to get some rest and repair?"
[Zero``] Sounds like a plan...
* X` gives Mega City one glance, then turns forward
* SlashReaver nods and starts limping off into the field in search of shelter
[X`] Lets go.  We'll be back.  Some day.
[X`] Session Ends.
