* Gravedigger looks at Snipe
[Snipe] .....holy shit
* Elayne_Vanguard stands as close to Garland as possible
[Avatar] NRP: Hmm, we must be pretty close to the sun, or have stared at it awhile... Otherwise there would've been a 6 minute delay from when the ship fired to when the sun exploded...

[Spirit] NRP: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da BATMAN!
[Snipe] NRP: *Cries*

[Snipe] ....*Steps back at that order*
[Snipe] Xevil: .... who?

[Snipe] Spade: What?
[Avatar] Commander... It might be a good idea to take his advice...
[Elayne_Vanguard] D...
[Garland] .... who?
[Gravedigger] NRP: Beware....????-MAN!
[Snipe] .....To the shuttle.

[Elayne_Vanguard] Spade... that was... HIM
[Snipe] Xevil: *Smashes Wind into the dirt and glares at the shuttle, the other five flying after it*
[Snipe] Spade: ..... no, no ....
* Avatar sits down at the weapons consol of the shuttle
* Elayne_Vanguard gets in the shuttlee
[Gravedigger] NRP: Beware....THE WINDMILL!
* Snipe the shuttle flies from the planet, which begins to shake and explosions go off
[Snipe] Squirrel: RUN!!  RUN LIKE HELL!!!
[Avatar] {The wind...? Odd name...}
[Snipe] ....I Think it was a code name, Avatar.
[Garland] Snipe: Damn you! I don't care if some moron tells me to leave, and I'm not one of YOUR Hunters! DAMN YOU! I'd RATHER HAVE DIED THEN RUN YET AGAIN!!!
[Elayne_Vanguard] [Avatar... that isn't his name...]
[Snipe] ....Garland....he ordered us....that voice...
* Snipe the shuttle runs out of power in space
[Avatar] {So do I... Mostly wondeirng who he was.}
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad... HE ordered us...
[Garland] I DON'T CARE!!!
[Gravedigger] Gar, when a man tell you to go like that, you listen.
[Elayne_Vanguard] [I felt that presence... the mind my father held...]
* Snipe turns around and glances at the star exploding, sending out pulsing waves that destroys the planet below; in front of them is the Ti'dah
[Garland] HE KILLED MY BEST FRIEND, AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET ANYONE, YOU HEAR ME? ANYONE STOP ME! EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!!!
[Snipe] .....good God, we're out of power...
[Avatar] NRP: Erm, since DS uses the "Name: Blah blah" to say that's who's talking, it be easier if "Name]" was you to address someone. Or "to Name"
* Snipe points at the pulsing star
[Snipe] And it's about to blow
[Gravedigger] 10-1 says that Windy and Xevil somehow lived through that.
* Elayne_Vanguard puts both hands gently on his face
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad... please... calm down...
[Snipe] ....10-1 that the other five did.
[Avatar] {Even if it kills you, Garland? How will that avenger your friend?}
[Snipe] ....alright, anyone have any plans to start moving before that star collapses?
[Garland] Knowing that I TRIED!!! UNLIKE YOU PEOPLE!
* Snipe notices the Ti'dah start moving away from the system
[Gravedigger] ...Get out and psh?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad... please stop this...
[Snipe] Spade: Fools, all of you
[Avatar] {Alot of good it'd do the universe to, trying and then dying... Waiting until the right time to try would work better.}
[Snipe] Spade: Grasping onto threads you can't even begin to imagine.
[Avatar] {How's that, Spade?}
* Garland looks at Elayne
[Snipe] ....*Sits down, preparing for his death*
[Elayne_Vanguard] To Spade: [Leave it for later.. okay?]
[Gravedigger] Hey, hey, Prez boy, we're kinda ALL going to die here, so unless you've got a grand idea, zip it!
[Elayne_Vanguard] Please dad...
[Garland] I'm not your Dad, and I never can be. *walks to the back and sits down
[Avatar] NRP: Our shuttle's outta power?
[Snipe] NRP: Pulse waves
* Elayne_Vanguard slumps onto the floor
[Snipe] Squirrel: *sighs* My stocks were rising too
[Avatar] ...
[Gravedigger] Someone call the freaking FURY!
[Snipe] Squirrel: Comm's out...
[Avatar] {Anyone here capable of reparing it?}
[Snipe] Comm: *flickers to life and a shadowed face appears* WHY THE HELL AREN'T YOU MOVING?
* Elayne_Vanguard cries... losing all control she had
[Gravedigger] ....waitaminute...
[Snipe] Spade: ....... figures.
* Gravedigger looks at the squirrel
* /sound: no such file 'conviction3-1.mid'
[Gravedigger] QUICK! HOOK THE RODENT UP TO THE ENGINES!
[SOUND]
* Garland has a single tear going down the side of his face, but still contorted in anger
[Snipe] Squirrel: WAIT!  LISTEN TO THE SHADOWED ONES MESSAGE!
[Spirit] That's the craziest idea I've ever heard...
[Snipe] Comm: HELLOOOOOO?
* Gravedigger hits the comm
* Snipe is shaking his head
[Gravedigger] We ain't got no power!
[Snipe] Comm: *keeps his face hidden* We're coming for you...hold on
*** Avatar has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
* Garland looks at the figure
* Elayne_Vanguard stands and looks out a window, fingering Airier's blaster unconsiously, sealing her mind from all...
[Snipe] *lights turn on* OH DAMN!  Dias: uh...hi?
[Garland] .....Probably Xevil, posing as a friend or something. He'd do that.... he always has.....
* Snipe turns head and sees the Fury heading for them
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at Garand hurt
[Gravedigger] ...I STILL say we shoulda hooked the rodent up, the juice he runs on would give us a small boost...
[Snipe] Squirrel: *shocks Grave*
* Snipe the star explodes
* Gravedigger deflects with his shovel
[Snipe] ....OH SHIT, IT's OVER!
* Snipe watches a huge firewave spread out
* Elayne_Vanguard walks into the engine room
* Garland glances at Elayne
* Gravedigger looks at Snipe
[Snipe] NRP: No engine room
[Gravedigger] Why must you be so pesimestic?
* Elayne_Vanguard walks to thee consoles
*** Avatar (Avatar@rddfrD138.snowcrest.net) has joined #taw
[Snipe] Squirrel: Hit in....4....3...
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at them...
* Snipe the fury flies into them, smashing the shuttle into their hanger
[Snipe] Squirrel: EEEP!  2....1...
[Avatar] ...
[Snipe] Ripple: *Hits the hyperspace button*
* Elayne_Vanguard flies back, inot Garland
[Gravedigger] Ohhhh please let this bucket of bolts hold together....
* Garland catches her with one arm, setting her down.
* Snipe the Fury leaps out of the system, followed by the Sigma ship, and they jump away
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at him again
[Snipe] Drake: WHOOO!! LOOK AT 'ER GO!
* Gravedigger pokes Snipe's nose
[Avatar] {Well... We made it out of that one...}
[Snipe] .....*glances at Grave* .. what?
* Elayne_Vanguard stares at him hard...
[Gravedigger] I think we're alive bunky.
[Elayne_Vanguard] Did... you...... mean.... that?
[Snipe] ....really, diggy?  *hugs him*
[Gravedigger] GAH! Get offa me!
[Snipe] Spade: *shakes head darkly* Endgame is coming
* Snipe twirls Grave around
[Avatar] {Exactly how many systems aren't under Tsivrixsh control compared to how many that are?}
* Snipe then drops him darkly
[Gravedigger] PUT ME DOWN! I've got to anayalize this disk!
[Gravedigger] OOF!
* Snipe notices the disk has been broken due to the pulses
[Snipe] .......we got a weapon that can blow up...star systems....we have....do something
* Elayne_Vanguard hesitates before saying... "Dad...?"
* Garland looks at Elayne, and sighs
* Snipe sits down in the shuttle, running hand through hair
* Elayne_Vanguard bows her head
[Snipe] ...what am I going to do.....what am I going to do....
* Elayne_Vanguard feels her last hopes slowly die
[Gravedigger] NRP: 1) Snipe can't notice it, I've got it in a secret compartment on me. 2) It was on a secret compartment on me, so shouldn't I've been at least injured too? 3) Wouldn't it being just wiped clean make more sense?
* Garland 's hopes and dreams have died a long time ago.
[Snipe] NRP: IT'swiped clean, yes.
* Elayne_Vanguard sits back, a wave of hatred flowing into her
* Garland looks at her
* Gravedigger puts the disk into a nearby station
[Elayne_Vanguard] I'm gonna kill Xevil...
[Elayne_Vanguard] For killing me...
[Avatar] {That's easier said than done, by far.}
* Snipe actually lets tears flow to his eyes, overwhealmed, and walks off
[Gravedigger] Aw damnit! The pulse wiped it clean!
[Spirit] [And getting harder by the minute...]
[Garland] ..I can't be your Father.... No. Xevil is mine. Do you hear me? He'd kill you in a second.
* Gravedigger punches the wall, not leaving a dent, in fact, hurting his hand in the process
[Avatar] NRP: ? Xevil's Garland's father?
[Gravedigger] Yeeooww.....
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at him...
[Garland] NRP: WHAT?
[Elayne_Vanguard] You still caree... don't you...
[Gravedigger] NRP: Joke Gar, I think....
[Avatar] NRP: "[Garland] ..I can't be your Father.... No. Xevil is mine."
[Avatar] NRP: OH! Never mind
[Gravedigger] NRP: *koosh-ah koosh-ah*
* Elayne_Vanguard tries to hold back moree tears
* Gravedigger pitches the wiped disk at the squirrel
[Garland] More than you can even imagine, I care about everyone. But right now, I have an agenda to fix, I have to...take my.... revenge, yes, revenge on the one thing I hate. Xevil.
[Snipe] NRP: *combined two sessions into one*
[Avatar] NRP: Two very short sessions?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Then let me be by your side...
[Snipe] NRP: I am the Wind part 1 and part 2 and made them one
[Elayne_Vanguard] I have nothing to lose...
[Garland] He'd either kill you, or use you against me, NO.
[Elayne_Vanguard] I lost everything...
[Avatar] NRP: Yeah, but, to me it seems like we haven't been doing this for very long
[Snipe] NRP: Aye, I'm going through brainfreezwe.
[Avatar] {So, the best idea would be to rush off and get yourself killed?}
[Elayne_Vanguard] Mind if I still call you dad... cause that's what you are to me...
* Gravedigger elbows Av
[Snipe] GM: *Snipe is long gone, in his room*
* Garland looks at her, not answering....
[Maestro] NRP: Okay, It doesn't matter, But I'm back
[Avatar] ... {I think it's safe to exit the shuttle now...}
[Elayne_Vanguard] You always will be...
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...
* Avatar exits the shuttle
[Garland] I....I.......nevermind.....
[Snipe] Spade: *walks off, laughing*
* Avatar wonders what's up with Spade
* Elayne_Vanguard frowns
* Gravedigger picks up the wiped disk and pitches it at the back of Spade's head
* Elayne_Vanguard sighs in sorrow
* Garland walks back to his "training" room, more determined than ever to make himself stronger, and to not be stunned next time.
[Snipe] Session Ends
