<DeathStar> Time Chart: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: The Planet Erevis
* Alicia is now known as Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there stiffly, witnessing the diplomatic PAX group getting up from their native like dinner, and each heading to their rooms.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks right through Warren.
* Xanatos stands there with his arms crossed, his face tight.
* Seraphna watches silently, <I wasn't around for this...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Me either.>
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He glances at Xanatos and Chad and Warren
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren then glances at Xanatos
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru glances at John and Xanatos
* Xanatos pulls an arm up to scratch the side of his face. "Damnit." He just mumbles, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks along toward her room, avoiding looking at past Xanatos.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru watches, looking pained
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He covers his face. "You're all going to let it happen again."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Hey, it's not like I can do anything."
* Xanatos glances at Chad. "You think..." he trails off, frowning again.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You want me to try to possess Kat or something?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Yeah, that'll work."
<DeathStar> 6* Past Warren walks through Hotaru, as if to smack her.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I hate this... I want to do something..."
<DeathStar> 6* John watches past Shiva, as if willing her to do something
* Ariel looks to John, "Should we even be trying to change things like this? How do you think things would be different, if this didn't happen?"
<DeathStar> <John> Katrina would be alive. That's what.
<DeathStar> 6* All of them retire to their private rooms.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I know how you feel..."
<Chad`Winters> But who would be dead in her place, John?
<DeathStar> 6* John whirls to face Ariel
<Ariel> "Prehaps not. Prehaps we'd all be dead."
* Xanatos sighs, "Yeah but then we would all die when Wind comes..." He sighs again.
<DeathStar> <John> Get the fuck off the planet. Go possess yourselves and leave.
<DeathStar> <John> No one has to die here.
* Xanatos moves forward, moving into his room and into his body.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And then Wind might destroy us a few years from now.
* Chad`Winters eyes Warren again, motioning to Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tilts his head.
* Xanatos glances down at the time, measuring how much has elapsed.
* Ariel shakes her head, "Even the most innocent actions we take here, can have dire effects..."
<DeathStar> 6* Some time has passed. It seems the main event is coming
<DeathStar> <John> Screw that. You do what you want. 6He looks toward Xan's room, willing him on.
* Xanatos slips over to his door and peeks out, if no one is around he would begins to silently move toward the temple.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What in the hell----? 6He stares.
* Ariel eyes John at that.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "What is Xan DOING?"
<DeathStar> 6* John hurries after Xan.
<Chad`Winters> Two choices Warren. He's going to destroy the statue or he's going to use it on himself.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... tell me he's not considering the latter.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "This is Xan."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru hurries after
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos arrives at the temple. It seems they are prepping for Katrina.
* Seraphna follows
* Chad`Winters pauses, considering the good that may come out of this.
<Seraphna> <He could jsut be stopping the ceremony...>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren also leans back, as if thinking
* Xanatos glances around, getting a head count of those around.
* Ariel looks to Warren worriedly
<DeathStar> 6* There's a dozen of them.
<Chad`Winters> Durran's an idiot, he's not going to stop the ceremony. 6He quickly moves into his room.
* Xanatos pulls a hand to his chin, rubbing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hisses, then moves for the room that is his own.
<Seraphna> NRP: Chad can;t hear the Dragoon network... <.<;
<DeathStar> 6* John kneels behind Xan, knowing he can't see or hear him now.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: He was talking to Warren.
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room and quickly leaps over the railing, and begins running to the temple
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps outof his orom, slamming his hand on everyone's room. "Temple now"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <He could... but he's still Xan.>
* Xanatos narrows his eyes and glances at the time.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> Huh? Wha?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out, raising an eyebrow. Warren breaks into a run for the temple. Darien shrugs and follows.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> *rushes after*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Steps out, stretching. "What's going on?"
<Xanatos> * Cole bolts out of his room, moving after Darien.
<Seraphna> <What does that mean? That he's incapable of doing the right thing?>
* Ariel hurries to catch herself on the way to the temple.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva sprints after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is jerked out into sight, slightly drugged. She's laid down on the altar.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, prepping himself to run.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <No... just that he doesn't know what the right thing is. Lets watch though.>
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads for the temple
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Xan, then Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren catches up to Chad half-way to the temple
<DeathStar> <Darien> What in the world is going on?
* Chad`Winters glances over at Warren. "You fast when your legs aren't injured.."
<Xanatos> <Cole> I do not know.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm also younger.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> Yeah, I want to know too... leg injury? Younger? What the fuck?
<Chad`Winters> By two years.
<Seraphna> <Kat...>
* Xanatos tightens up his fist, knowing this will probably mean his death.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nice way to freak them out. 6he notes dryly. "Next, we can tell them the lottery."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> Who are you, and what have you done with Warren?
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Less talk.
<Chad`Winters> It's an inside joke Red Fox.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He glances at Ariel.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> ... fine.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> Temple now, joke later.
<DeathStar> 6* The natives begin the ceremony.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes up the steps.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> *follows*
* Chad`Winters sprints up the steps alongside Warren.
* Xanatos begins to do a countdown in his head, trying, then after 10 seconds he breaks into a run for the alter.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva catches upto Darien and the others
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the doorway, then whips out his gun -- and shoots XAn in the ack
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> The hell?!
* Xanatos stumbles, urking and sliding along the ground.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren?!
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> *pulls out her gun*
<Xanatos> <Cole> What is the meaning of this!?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his energy sword.
<DeathStar> 6* The natives turn in shock, the ceremony interrupted.
<Xanatos> NO! *he screams out, pulling himself up to his feet.*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims again at Xanatos, firing at his leg.
* Chad`Winters pulls out a gun and raises it, aiming at Xanatos
<Seraphna> <Getting a little overboard... aren't we...?>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> *moves towards Kat*
* Ariel sides between Warren and Darien
* Xanatos gets hit again, collapsing to a knee. He looks back at Warren and Chad with a glare.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You trying to die, you idiot?!
<Xanatos> I'd rather be the one than Katrina!
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red Fox> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions at Chad to stop Fox.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel?!
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien activates his energy sword, eyeing Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Everyone, take down Warren and rescue Katrina.
* Chad`Winters dashes in, grabbing Red Fox and stopping her.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *tries to kick Chad off*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your brain isn't psionically inclined last time I checked, Durran.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> Idiot! Kat's in danger!
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Chad`Winters let's the kick connect and he grabs it, jamming a finger in a nerve cluster and disabling it.
<DeathStar> 6* The natives hesitate, then begin to perform the ritual again.
<Xanatos> I know, but I still had to try! Worst case scenario, I die and Erevis is still put in there. *throws his hands towards Katrina's body*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *stumbles towards Kat anyway* "Try that again, and I'll shoot you."
* Ariel eyes Darien calmly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Only case scenario. You'll die and Katrina will be taken over. And who will teach Erevis humanity then?
* Chad`Winters hops forward and grabs RedFox by the collar, throwing her backwards
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dashes at Ariel, aiming to go arond her for Warren
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *fires at Chad*
* Xanatos lowers his head. "...I can't stand by..."
<Seraphna> <I wonder how this whole damn struggle is going to affect thigns, whatever the outcome is...>
<Xanatos> * Cole begins to move forward, cracking his knuckles. "Someone needs to tell us what is going on right now."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "You maniacs! Is this what PAX is?!"
<DeathStar> <John> Jesus Christ, they're turning into enemies.
* Chad`Winters throws his arm up, letting it slam into his tact suit. He returns the favor by firing a well placed shot in between her and Katrina
* Ariel knows Darien wouldn't go to strike her. It's not his style. She move forward to prevent him from reaching Warren.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Ariel. What the hell are you doing?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *keeps firing, moving towards Kat anyway*
* Chad`Winters dashes sideways and fires shots, this time right into the back of her legs
<Ariel> "You brought us here Darien. This is why. I... can't let you stop it. I'm sorry."
<Xanatos> We still have to interrupt the ceremony! *he warns Warren*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I didn't know this was.. going to happen. I can't...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hestitates.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "... I..." *starts firing on the aliens* "I'm sorry."
<Xanatos> We did last time! If not Erevis will be at full power and kill us all!
* Chad`Winters dashes in, tackling Red Fox to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* The natives are being shot, screaming ni terror. Warren switches to a stun setting, and fires at Fox.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *collapses*
<DeathStar> 6* The transfer begins.
<Xanatos> * Cole comes up behind Chad, aiming a double fisted slam into his back.
<Ariel> "It's... nessisary. It's hard to accept... but things will be worse, if you turn back now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
* Chad`Winters slams into the ground with a groan. He rolls over and strikes at a nerve cluster by Cole's left ankle
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to aim at the statue, trying to remember how far along Erevis was.
<DeathStar> <John> JEsus, they'r egoing to let it happen again.
* Ariel looks pained by this... Katrina is her friend. But she's resolute.
* Xanatos twitches and makes a face, punching out at Chad.
<Xanatos> NRP: Cole..
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I don't believe this..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He grimaces, then dashes in, swinging at Ariel, trying to get her ot back off.
* Xanatos shakes his head and pulls up both of his pistols, charging. "Get ready to grab her Chad."
* Chad`Winters rolls to the side and plants his hands then spins on them, kicking his leg out to trip Cole
<Xanatos> *Cole is tripped, falling down onto his back.
<Chad`Winters> Got it. 6He stands up, turning towards Kat.
* Xanatos counts in his head. "I think just about half a more minute." he warns, trying to remember.
* Ariel attempts to catch Darien's blade between her hands. She's not going to draw her weapon on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks his sword back, then swings his hilt at her head.
<Chad`Winters> I strongly suggest someone disable me when I get her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Already planned on it.
<Xanatos> *Cole rises, "You four seem to know what is going on. Care to explain?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *he pauses, considering* COuld she still beat Id if she doesn't touch him here?
<Xanatos> I...I'm not sure. *he frowns*
<Chad`Winters> Time it right then.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren suddenly jerks his gu nup and fires into the statue, blowing it clean in half.
* Chad`Winters dashes in, grabbing Kat and rolling with her
* Xanatos switches his guns to stun now, since Warren took care of the statue, he waits.
* Ariel blocks with her forearm. She was already in posistion to block a strike like that anyways. "...Darien... please trust me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... 6He eyes what's going on behind Ariel. Suddenly, Erevis knocks Chad away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good God.
* Chad`Winters rolls backwards, coming to a stop by Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You Id yet?
* Xanatos glances over at Chad, keeping his guns trained on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slowly gets to her feet, as if testing her balance.
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He pushes himself up and dashes in towards her, his hand hitting a spot on his side.
* Ariel steps away from Darien. She's stalled him long enough now, "...I'm sorry Darien. I truely am..."
<Xanatos> *Cole watches Chad rush in at Katrina and narrows his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What have we done.
<Seraphna> <He... wants Id?>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ignores Chad.
* Chad`Winters moves to tackle her
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <I'm guessing Id appeared before.>
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds up her hand, catching Chad in mid-air. She studies him. "Pathetic creature."
* Xanatos continues to kneel there, he aims up at Erevis, keeping them locked onto her.
* Chad`Winters grunts as he stares at Erevis. 1"Kat...."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That person is no more. 6She throws her hand out and slams Chad into a wall
* Chad`Winters hits the wall and slides down.
* Xanatos releases one stunning shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at Erevis, firing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Xanatos, then takes the two shots. She pauses, tilting her head
* Chad`Winters slides up, grimacing slightly as his right side goes weak.
* Xanatos just stares at Erevis, holding his second gun in place to fire the second stun if needed. "Just go down." he says in a very sad tone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you all allowed me to be born. Interesting
* Ariel looks to Darien, then charges at Erevis with her bare hands.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Fuck.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She's read our minds.
<Xanatos> ...Then she knows everything...
* Xanatos hangs his head. "This is bad."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds out a hand, slamming Xanatos into a wall.
* Xanatos urks, falling down onto his face.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <... oops?>
* Jackieness is now known as cassandra`
* Chad`Winters slides his hand to a spot right by the last one he hit and he smacks it, a slight grimace on his face.
* cassandra` is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at her, only to get slammed into a wall.
<Xanatos> * Cole runs in from behind, moving to tackle her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, grabbing Cole with a psionic grip and judo throwing him
* Ariel attempts to bodycheck Erevis. She can't use her weapons in this situation.
* Chad`Winters clenches his right fist and flips up his gun firing at her.
* Xanatos lands onto the ground, sliding along the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis halts Ariel, then begins to crush her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Stronger...than I remember..
<Xanatos> NRP: Cole...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *remains on the ground*
<Chad`Winters> You must've waited to long.
<Seraphna> *A grenade rolls to Erevis feet and explodes, Elsiah letting her blades out.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dashes in at Erevis. "Let her go!"
* Ariel trys to fight it, but there's only so much she can do about telekinesis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is kocked back, as is Darien
<Xanatos> Damnit. *he says, pulling himself up to his feet, he raises both of his pistols and begins to fire at Erevis.
<Seraphna> *Elsiah starts firing at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is shot several times.
* Chad`Winters holsters his gun and reaches to his side, pulling out his staff. He swings it at Erevis's head, extending it ot reach her.
<Xanatos> Why isn't the stun working??
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws out her hands, then knocks everyone back into the wall
* Chad`Winters slams into the wall, sliding down it
* Ariel is smashed back before she can launch another attack
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Darien grunt as they slam.
<DeathStar> <John> Jesus Christ, so this is what she was like when they first fought her ? And they let her live?
* Xanatos coughs, landing on his knees, he sits there for a second, breathing. Cole just makes a odd sound as he hits.
<Seraphna> *Elisah groans a bit as she slams, another granade going off nearby Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hurls the grenad into Elisah before it goes off
* Chad`Winters extends the staff, aiming to nail Erevis right in the forehead
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Seems so..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit, her head tilting back
<Seraphna> *Elsiah turns, rolls, hurling in another direction from the blast, her mask shattering.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe..Xan should kiss her again.. 6He mutters, coughing up fluids
* Chad`Winters brings it up then slams it down to hit her in the head again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs it, then yanks Chad forward.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's...so powerful..
* Chad`Winters slides foreward, aiming to throw a punch at her
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet. "Maybe..." he says having no other options he begins to stumble toward her, having already been shot in the leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically punches him
* Chad`Winters slides back now, tumblign.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why hasn't she brought out Id?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet shakily.
<Chad`Winters> Id's....not in my mind.
<Seraphna> <Hmmm...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hmm?>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets up and leans against a wall.
<Seraphna> <Another change...>
* Ariel looks to Darien, "...are you alright?"
* Xanatos slides face to face with Erevis. He reaches his arms out. "Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fine. And you told me I should trust you. 6He notes darkly.
<Chad`Winters> Which means that when we possess....we take it over completely
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis breaks his arm. "Do not touch me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs him by his throat, squeezing.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Ugh..." *stands, groggily*
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru is now known as Red_Fox
* Xanatos does reasonably well to hide his pain, he frowns at her, then her hand grabs him by the throat. "Don't do this..."
* Chad`Winters picks up his staff again and extends it, this time aiming for her kneecap
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Drop the roof on her. 6He aims at the ceiling, firing.
<Red_Fox> "Kat...?"
* Ariel nods, "...I would explain if I could." She really wants to, but she can't. She opens fire on the ceiling.
* Xanatos holds onto her hand with his own, "...stop." He manages to breath.
* Chad`Winters pulls the staff up and jams it against the floor and the roof, extending it, using it as a hyrdaulic jack
<DeathStar> 6* The ceiling groans. The ancient temple wans't meant for abuse.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now get out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren dives out, grabbing Darien.
<Xanatos> * Cole moves towards the exit.
<Seraphna> *Elsiah dives out, taking Ceres with her.
* Chad`Winters drops it and extend it against Durran in an attempt to shove him out the other side.
* Red_Fox looks over to Kat, as if wanting to grab her too, then just leaves, as if coming to a conclusion
<DeathStar> 6* The roof collapses
* Chad`Winters slides out of the debris, panting.
<Red_Fox> "... what the hell happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up a hand, eyeing the smoke
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Xanatos! Katrina!
<Red_Fox> "I... don't think that's Katrina any more..."
* Chad`Winters pants, wiping dust from his forehead
<DeathStar> <Warren> Remind me. Would the roof stop her?
<Chad`Winters> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren adjusts his gun to full power.
<Chad`Winters> I'm going to try something...6He nails another nerve cluster on his left side now, that side going slightly weak. He closes his eyes.
<Red_Fox> "I want answers... I *need* answers..."
<DeathStar> 6* The debris flies up into the air and Erevis emerges, panting, holding an unconscious Xan. Warren aims at her head and fires.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then falls onto the debris, not moving
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes then glances down at his hands, his hand moves to his left side hitting another nerve cluster.
* Red_Fox rushes over, not thinking of her safety
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kicks Xan awake.
<DeathStar> <John> ... is it over?
<Red_Fox> "I don't know."
* Xanatos slowly opens his eyes. "What happened?"
<Red_Fox> <Hotaru> "I don't know."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kneels, checing Erevis' pulse. "I gave her a lethal shot.'
<Red_Fox> "You did WHAT?!"
* Xanatos suddenly sits up. "Is she alive?"
* Chad`Winters grunts and moves over to Warren and Xanatos and Erevis
<DeathStar> <Warren> She lived. I assumed she could handle it at this strength
<Xanatos> Lucky you.
<Red_Fox> "... that's good... I guess..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We would not be in this position if not for you, Durran.
<Red_Fox> "Now, what happened?"
* Xanatos lowers his head, "I thought I was doing the right thing this time..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ....
<Chad`Winters> You're an idiot.
<Red_Fox> "You were, weren't... hey!"
<Ariel> "...what's going to happen now?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You should have tried shoving Shiva into the beam, then. Seeing as she's psionic.
<Xanatos> I couldn't do that to John.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Shve...wait, what?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waves his hand in dismissal.
<Red_Fox> "Oh, you'll sacrifice Kat, but not Shiva?"
<Red_Fox> "You little fucker."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Listen, we--- 6Suddenly everything fades again
* Chad`Winters glances at Red Fox.
<DeathStar> <John> Are so royally fucked now.
* Seraphna nods at John
* Red_Fox is now known as Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> You reckon?
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos and John are standing on the stairs of the house Darien was renting out.
<DeathStar> <John> I'm bringing back Katrina, Xanatos.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he looks at the two
* Xanatos sighs. "We both know how this ends John." he looks over to him.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. I remember just fine.
<Xanatos> So you'll stop yourself then?
<DeathStar> <John> Why don't you stop YOURSELF?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sighs.
<Xanatos> I stood by and let you do it. And what happened? You fucked up!
<Xanatos> Now fix it!
<DeathStar> <John> You made your choice. 6He spins to face him. "You made the choice to let he die."
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren again, a look of disdain on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* In the background, their past selves are yelling at each other.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Seriously, what was that about?"
<Xanatos> Then i'm going to change that. *he turns and moves towards himself*
* Ariel looks to Warren, fatigued by all of this. "...we shouldn't be messing with any of this..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then we should stop Xanatos here from letting Erevis die?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands on the stairs, then begins to willingly join the past John, who stands there smugly.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We shouldn't?"
* Xanatos steps into his body, moving forward to grab Erevis' arm. "No, I can't let you do this."
<DeathStar> 6* The present John crosses his arms, biting his teeth down.
<Chad`Winters> If we stop her now, than that hospital full of innocents won't be destroyed
<Chad`Winters> Which means you're mother will live John.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course, it means she won't hate Xanatos Durran.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Don't we HAVE to stop this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops, glancing at Xan
<Chad`Winters> She probably would be better off dead I suppose. 6He says neutrally.
* Xanatos just stares at her. "Nothing good will come of this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You want Katrina McCormick back. He can provide it. 6She notes, shrugging Xan off.
* Xanatos moves forward to grab her again. "Erevis. Stop, look into my mind. I know what will happen."
<DeathStar> <Past John> Oh, great, you're a frickin' psychic now. I'm not stopping, Xan. Even if I have to barrell through you
<Xanatos> Fuck off John.
<Chad`Winters> What's more important to you John? Erevis dieing or your mother living?
* Xanatos slides his hand down to his datapad, activing an alert for Darien and the other members of the team.
<DeathStar> <Past John> Oh, hell. Now it's on. 6He begins to walk up the stairs.
* Xanatos moves to put Erevis out of the way, then turns to look at John. "Come'on then. Show us just how much of a hero you're being right now."
<DeathStar> <John> Christ... 6He sighs and leaps into his body.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ....
<Cassandra`> I want to punch both of them in the face, actually.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, throwing up his hands. "You win this time."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You too?"
<Chad`Winters> Well if your lucky, you'll show up in time to do such a thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Past CAssandra chills in the living rom
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, then nods. "I knew you would do the right thing, John."
<DeathStar> <John> Pfft. 6He rolls his eyes, shoving his hands into his coat. "We done here?"
* Xanatos crosses his arms. "Yeah, you can leave I think."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She stares at the two of them, obviously not stupid.
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I'm kind of waiting on that to hapen.
* Xanatos glances around, a frown on his face. "I bet they had a backup plan." He finally says.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then shrugs. "OH well, one for the road." 6He punches XAn in the nose, pointing. "Bitch."
* Xanatos holds his nose, staring at John. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* As John points at Xan, they're now on a beach
<DeathStar> <John> And I---
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to eye the others.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru blinks
* Xanatos glances around.
* Chad`Winters looks around, eyeing the beach.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He glances up.
<Chad`Winters> I know this place...
<DeathStar> <Warren> In the sky.
* Xanatos frowns, then glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Omega Seraphna Mech form is above htem.
* Chad`Winters begins looking around for himself.
<Xanatos> Holy shit, am I here? *he glances around*
<Cassandra`> ...where is here?
<Chad`Winters> The beach were we went to rescue Seraphna and Eve.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's past self, and most of the others, is there indeed - after all, this is the fight right before the Angel thing hsows up
* Chad`Winters quickly begins sprinting over to his body.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... what are you doing...?
<Xanatos> What are we supposed to be doing again?
<Chad`Winters> Stopping myself from forming a bond.
<Xanatos> Are you crazy? That's the only way you beat Sera.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Christ.
<Chad`Winters> Get Serena to possess her body and we can end it that way.
* Chad`Winters moves closer to his body
* Xanatos glances to Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna prepares her attack. Past Zephyr tenses.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I think we need a gameplan.
* Chad`Winters leaps into his body.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves for her body
* Seraphna heads to her body.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera unleashes an attack on the beach. Darien and Zephyr jerk out of the way.
* Chad`Winters leaps out of the way rolling.
* Seraphna possesses her body.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru leaps into her body
<Xanatos> Isn't there a base under this beach Warren?
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Seraphna and Eve break off and start falling from 100 meters in the sky
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, that's an interesting tactic.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves to catch at least one
* Xanatos stares, his mouth agape.
<Chad`Winters> Oh no....6He glances up and begins sprinting towards to catch one of them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes widen.
<Xanatos> * Kane comes from the beachhouse, moving towards the falling Serena.
* Seraphna grabs Eve, helping to make sure when they're caught, they land in a good way.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> * Ceilidh follows Kane out, watching, seemingly in shock
* Ariel watches the others act, standing back by now... too many hands tossing history into the wind.
<Seraphna> "Reform the bond with me, quickly."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve is unconscious, it appears.
<Xanatos> Wont they just crush the people that are trying to catch them??
<Seraphna> "Damnit..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... what's going on?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Probably.
* Chad`Winters readjusts his speed as he times it.
<Xanatos> Well I know that isn't good.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *asks that*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I didn't expect that. I wonder what happened.
<DeathStar> 6* Hotaru and Chad smash into each other.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru winces
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna and Eve, then, crash into the ocean.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Chad..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru stares
* Chad`Winters stumbles, falling to his knees. He quickly pushes himself up and sprints to the water.
<Xanatos> * Kane stumbles into the ocean and then jumps in, beginning to swim out towards them.
* Seraphna holds Eve, having worked the dive our, she starts swiming for the surface with her.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "Ummm..." *follows to the shore, not as good a swimmer*
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna goes to move, she would find her body is heavily damaged.
* Chad`Winters quickly begins pulling off his tact suit and leaps into the water, swimming as fast as he can.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches everything from the shore.
* Seraphna works to get them carefully to the surface.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru follows Chad
<Xanatos> * Kane moves closer too them, but there is no way he can help them both to shore.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms, standing beside ARiel. "This is bad."
<DeathStar> 6* Chad reaches Sera and Eve.
* Xanatos glances at Warren and Ariel, wondering how.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Idiot little sister... *thinks it with a hint of affection, despite the wording*>
* Ariel nods slowly. "...we're going to destory everything at this rate."
* Chad`Winters grabs onto both of them, struggling to keep them afloat.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "W...what are you talking about?"
<Xanatos> * Kane helps Chad, taking Sera off of his hands. He begins swimming in.
* Seraphna helps Eve into Chad's arms, and let's Kane help her.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru helps too, helping whoever needs it most
<DeathStar> 6* Eve appears to not be breathing.
* Chad`Winters places Eve's arm around his shoulder and begins swimming with her to shore.
<Xanatos> <Kane> *Doesn't say a word, he just pulls Sera towards the shore.*
<Seraphna> "G-Get her CPR... f-fast..."
<Chad`Winters> Oh no...6He begins trying to breathe air into her as he swimgs them both back.
<Xanatos> *Kane motions to Hotaru to help Chad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .. 6He moves for the base while everyone is distracted.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru helps Chad then
<Seraphna> "I'm... m-me again..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *eyes Darien* "What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Eve coughs up water.
* Chad`Winters reaches beach and begins carrying her onto shore. He glances down at her breathing finally
<Xanatos> *Kane just eyes Sera, not sure what the hell she is going on about. He finally pulls her onto shore, then as she is laying there, places cuffs on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ignores Ceil.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *turns to help Kane then*
<Seraphna> "K-Kane...?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Damn, this is a mess..."
<Chad`Winters> Eve, you ok?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Oh... weren't you two close?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve's eyes open, but they're completely blank, as if no one is home.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm not taking any risks. *he notes, then motions to Ciel to try and help move Sera towards the beach house.*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's ghost kneels there, since he can't be seen. He stares. "Appears to be braindead."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *helps*
<Seraphna> "C-Careful... I broke a few bones..."
* Chad`Winters snaps his fingers infront of her face.
<Chad`Winters> Eve"?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is..she okay?
<Xanatos> I know the feelin. *he makes a face*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "As long as that's all..."
<Xanatos> <Kane> You'll be fine. *he looks to Eve* Her...well...*he trails off*
<Chad`Winters> I don't know...6He glances up at Zephyr, a momentary look of surprise on his face and then quickly back down to Eve.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve doesn't respond.
<Seraphna> "What... is Eve okay...?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "... I don't think she's physically injured..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads after Kane and Ceilidh. Psychology really isn't her thing
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up at Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> Something...something must've happened during the breaking of the bond...I...6He shakes Eve slightly
<Xanatos> <Kane> 100 meter fall. She's lucky to be alive. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <John> Man. This is getting worse and worse.
<Ariel> "...this is beyond my expertise..." *frowns, trying to figure out how to help things*
<Xanatos> We really are screwing up time...
<DeathStar> <Warren> My guess is that when Sera's mind reverted to her present self, it had a backlash into her brainwashing. It probably overloaded her.
<Seraphna> <Hotaru... what happened? What's happening...?>
* Chad`Winters growls and punches the sand beside him
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <You don't remember?>
<Cassandra`> So what do we do then?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing. This moment in time is over. We merely move on.
<Seraphna> <Eve was supposed to be fine... is she okay...?>
<Xanatos> * Kane places Sera down and stands to look over at Chad, crossing his arms, a frown on his face.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <I don't know...> "One last thing... don't cut the last red wire."
* Chad`Winters clenches his hands in the sand, his knuckles turning white
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly, they're all in their ghost selves.
* Chad`Winters kneels there, a look of anger and sadness on his face
* Seraphna looks around, staring, <I... I hope she made it through...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Me too...>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up. They're in Darien's base. Moment before Adam attacks and kidnaps Cassandra, using SIlouette's unwitting help.
* Xanatos rubs his face, "I really think we should just leave things be...because we seem to be doing more damage than helping."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... you do, maybe."
* Xanatos glances at Hotaru and just shakes his head.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... and... I guess Sera isn't thinking things through quite enough, but..."
* Chad`Winters takes deep breathes as he struggles to calm himself down
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at the present day Sil, who has been quiet this last bit
* Xanatos glances around for his body.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...have the timeline changes reached this point yet?
<Seraphna> <Chad said to take over... I did what he said...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I don't know."
<Xanatos> They don't seem to be taking affect. *he ntoes to Cass*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Must not have reached it yet. Besides, I think this moment is more for Setsuna.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...great. Here I hoped I was being ignored."
<DeathStar> <John> Who could ignore your great ass?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I'm hoping I'm not."
<Xanatos> Set...oh! I forgot she was here...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kneels beside Chad, glancing at him
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna GLARES at John
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I have this feeling that I've missed my chance at saving Gar, though..."
* Xanatos tilts his head, rubbing his chin.
* Chad`Winters begins taking normal breathes, his eyes closed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well... the wonder squad has fucked this over enough..." *takes control of her body*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is standing there, lecturing htem.
<Xanatos> Was...she making fun of us?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Just you.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna listens. Boring boring blah blah. She's heard it all before... literally. She discretely places a tracker on Cass.
<Xanatos> Yeah, ok. I did one good thing, didn't I?
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, Cass. *he glances at the present day one* She put a tracker on your ass.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "No, you messed it up."
* Xanatos glances at Hotaru. "I messed up saving Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the base is attacked. The squad begins to move t odeal with it
<Cassandra`> She just was copping a feel...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... well... maybe."
<DeathStar> <John> I wish I was there to "Cop a feel".
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Yeah... wait, I didn't mean it like that."
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn eyes Hotaru
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I mean, I want to change things!"
<DeathStar> <John> .... Yeaaaah.
* Xanatos shakes his head, "You'll get your time, don't worry."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren continues to watch Chad.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna wishes Cass would take some initiative and keep her ass from getting kidnapped this time.
* Chad`Winters stands up finally, glancing over at Warren.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "What happens here, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* The squad begins to split up as they are attacked. Cassandra begins to chase Adam into a well laid trap.
* Chad`Winters glances over to Cass to see if she's going to stop herself.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *Comm* "Cass! Leave that one! We've got an emergancy in sector 2."
<Xanatos> Cass gets kidnapped. *he glances to Cass himself*
<DeathStar> <John> Sector...2/
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I mean apart from that."
<Xanatos> Actually I think Kane was almost killed here by Adam...*he looks around for Kane*
<DeathStar> 6* Kane lays in blood or something. We don't really care.
<Cassandra`> Alright...I'm going in. *moves into her past self*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, once taking over, stumbles in her mid-chase. Adam begins to get away.
* Seraphna barely seems to be watching, she looks worried and a bit confused.
<Seraphna> <He said to do it... I was helping...>
<Ariel> Setsuna> *comm* "Cass? Cass! Do you read me? What's going on?!"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <What?>
<Seraphna> <Eve... he said to take over and break the bond... I... how can things go wrong so easily...>
<Cassandra`> Now...why am I bothering to waste my energy on Adam's lame rear? *comm* I'm here. Adam is getting away. Same old.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rushes to Origin to protect it
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <They always do... it's so difficult to know the right thing... I guess I'm just learning from John there.>
<Ariel> Setsuna> *comm* "Well, that's his plan." *heads to intercept Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, not noticing Setsuna, begins to open the safe to Origin
<Ariel> Setsuna> *steadies herself, then drugs Darien*
<Cassandra`> *comm* Oh... I know...let's screw with their heads. *opens a comm channel on all frequencies* The leaders of VI are... *starts naming them all on the air*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flals over.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares
<DeathStar> <Warren> What the ell?!
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pauses, stunned*
<DeathStar> <John> Oooh, I sense a big timeline change.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *blinks*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at Darien* "...should I even bother, now?"
* Chad`Winters looks at Cass than at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his face. "Well, this changes things.'
<Xanatos> What the hell is going on??
* Seraphna stares at Cassandra
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sits down next to the fallen Darien. Wondering if there's any point in perserving her cover, after this bombshell*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now that they know the leaders of V.I., the events leading to the final battle won't occur. It could possiblely mean they don't wake up Wind. It also means we won't find Kyouki, since V.I. will shut down.
<Seraphna> <...And I thought I wasn't cautious...>
<DeathStar> <John> ... Cool
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru just laughs
<Chad`Winters> So now instead of us taking care of Wind now, he could wake up while...if...we jump solar systems.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything fades.
<DeathStar> 6* Moments before the arrival of Wind. Everyone is dealing with the end of V.I. and other problems.
<DeathStar> 6* Half the group is after Wind, while the other half is near the base.
* Chad`Winters glances around then quickly moves to his body.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, glancing around
* Seraphna moves to her own.
<Xanatos> ...So what are we supposed to change in this one??
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> Who knows?
<Cassandra`> ...I can't believe I did that... *puts a hand on her face* ...Adam really gets to me...
<DeathStar> <Warren> This is the big fight with Wind. Lets see...
<Xanatos> Maybe someone should go and save Cole. Maybe he isn't supposed to die right now?
* Chad`Winters takes over his body and quickly taps his comm. "Eve, you need to get out of their now. Wind's on his way."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Too late. He's dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve on comm. "But I need a few more minutes to study this origin data."
<Chad`Winters> <C> Eve, trust me. You need to leave now because he will kill you."
* Seraphna goes to her body, looking around at the moment.
* Xanatos frowns, "Poor guy." He looks around at all those left. "I'm afraid to jump into my body...after that temple situation..."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve hestitates, then nods.
<DeathStar> <Eve on Comm> Alright.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks for her own body
* Chad`Winters clicks his comm off, breathing a sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Erevis are on the street with Ariel, when suddenly something begins to approach them.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything fades again and suddenly they're later in the battle. Darien has just proposed the plan to use the jump gate.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Things are speeding up
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there. "I'll slow Wind down and give you all time to reach the jump gate."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, moving for the car they found.
<Xanatos> Which means we are getting closer to the end of this story.
<Chad`Winters> But why....6He clences his fist then looks around, taking it in
* Seraphna takes over.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns to go. Past Warren follows.
* Seraphna moves after Spade.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren. "Serena's going to try and stop Spade from doing this...This can't turn out well."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, getting into the car with Past Ariel and others.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see that.
<Seraphna> "William!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves to stop Sera, then pauses, wincing
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances at Sera.
* Xanatos crosses his arms and just watches, "I can't do anything now if I wanted."
* Ariel looks unsettled... she knows what she wants to do, but she hesitant to even try.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... nothing I can do anyway."
<Seraphna> "...Guard your head. Be careful."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and the others begin to drive.
* Seraphna looks like she's forcing it.
* Chad`Winters eyes Serena cautiously, then glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... I'll keep that in mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head . It won't matter.
<Seraphna> "He'll try things you won't expect."
* Chad`Winters nods.
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... 6He nods and moves off with Warren
<Seraphna> "Warren... please take care of him!"
<DeathStar> 6* Past Warren just nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches both groups begin to split up. "It seems nothing will change here."
<Chad`Winters> Aye, but will it even matter?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hard to say.
<Seraphna> "William! I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna gets left behind by Darien's group.
* Seraphna rushes after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances at Sera. "You should be going with the others. ... though that is too late it seems."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...dammit.
<Chad`Winters> We havent' seen any changes yet, meaning we don't even know what can...6He eyes Serena being left behind. "She should run...
* Seraphna is already running.
* Xanatos rubs his face. "What did Sera do with the other group?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind begins to approach Spade and Past Warren
* Seraphna does know what's at stake here.
<Ariel> "...I know one change I'd like to make."
<Xanatos> Was she vital to their success??
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "What's that?"
<Chad`Winters> Yes, she helped me finish the machine.
<DeathStar> <Warren> IT's too late, then. She'll never catch up to Darien's group.
* Xanatos glances at Chad. ".....maybe she can buy some time here?"
<Chad`Winters> I can only hope that I can get enough help to finish it.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Spade activates his dual swords and Past Warren pulls out his guns.
<Xanatos> ...do you think? *he scratches his head and then just shrugs* Kane could possibly help...
* Seraphna realises she can't make it and heads back. She draws a gun, lurking in the shadows.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade and Warren begin t odo battle with Wind.
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes. 1"She's going to do something stupid Warren..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms, watching hs past self fight. "And if I jump into my body, my concentration would be shot."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I couldn't do anything if I wanted to."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... actually, I do want to."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind suddenly stops Spade's body from moving, rearing back to cut off his head.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms watching the scene before him.
* Seraphna shoots something off to the side to distract Wind
<DeathStar> 6* Wind tilts his head a moment, keeping Spade frozen. Warren rushes him, knowing he only has a few seconds to spare now.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind spins, throwing out sword out for Spade and the other for Warren.
<DeathStar> (one sword out)
* Seraphna shoots qucikly at the swords .
* Xanatos tilts his head observing the fight. "So this is the mighty Wind..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind, knowing her location now, grins. He stabs Warren in the heart, then hand palms Spade into a wal.
<DeathStar> 6* He then turns to face Sera.
* Xanatos glances at Warren, "Ummm."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well...that was... 6He stands there blankly, watching his past self fall.
<Chad`Winters> She got you killed...6He says grimly.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Figures.
<Xanatos> She saved Spade though. *he notes*
* Chad`Winters says nothing to that, letting his silence speak volumes.
* Seraphna stares a moment, thinking quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stumbles a moment, eyeing his hand fading more.
<Cassandra`> ...ok...Warren...I hope...my monumental reqriting of history...actually helps this one...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I hope so too."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll see.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... damn, I never got a chance to save Garland... maybe he just... isn't important?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Warren's hand fading.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind appears inches from Sera's face.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Seraphna.
<Xanatos> Who?!
<Chad`Winters> I could kill her the next time jump to even things for you.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Thomas Garland. My old pilot."
* Seraphna backs away, her guard on.
<Xanatos> Oh. You would do that to Em?
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Chad. "Don't bother."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stares at her. "You are nothing to me." 6He turns to track Ariel.
<Seraphna> "You're too late."
<Seraphna> "A few moments too late."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hardly. 6He vanishes.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... it's not like that. He... turned evil after..."
* Seraphna rishes to Warren, trying to see if there's anything she can do.
* Xanatos stares at her for a moment, then glances at Warren. "That doesn't bode well." he notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is quite dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade strains to sit up, smoke rising from his chest.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... ... please tell me that change won't stick..."
* Seraphna shakes her head, she looks to Spade.
<Cassandra`> ...I hope it doesn't.
* Chad`Winters tightens his fists.
<Seraphna> "I... don't..."
<DeathStar> 6* Everything flashes. They all appear in the next location but Warren. Darien has Wind in a stranglehold in front of the jump gate.
<Cassandra`> ...Warren... ... ...SERA, you pinhead!
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... fuck."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm taking...you...with..me...
* Chad`Winters looks around. "Warren...." 1He turns to face Serena, an unpleasant look on his face.
* Xanatos notes the missing Warren. "Wow..." he rubs his chin, then moves his eyes to look over at Ariel. "Ariel..." he glances towards Darien now.
* Seraphna just stares ahead blankly. Completely unresponsive.
<Cassandra`> ...wait...how come time caught up to Warren...but not to the rest of us...?
<Chad`Winters> You never stop from screwing up do you? 6He turns away from her now
<Xanatos> Because none of us died.
* Ariel tenses. She can't sit idle after all. She quickly moves to take control of her body, "Darien! Don't!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No time. If I let go, he'll get free.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'll kill you, DS!
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, having said nothing in ages.
<Cassandra`> ...John...?
<Xanatos> I really hope this is just a test like we first guessed.
<DeathStar> <John> .... Yeah?
* Seraphna stares down at her hands, clenching them into fists
* Ariel trusts in the others at the controls, and darts towards Wind. She starts to channel as much energy as she can manage into her blade, not about to let this happen again.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Hey... I haven't messed up, have I?"
<DeathStar> <John> .... 6He jerks his head up
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's eyes widen. "Stop! I command you!"
<Cassandra`> ...so...come here often...?
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He looks at Cass.
<DeathStar> <John> I just realized. After all this... Michiru probably won't be born.
* Xanatos crosses his arms, "Isn't that the Darien from that other universe?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... she won't?"
* Xanatos rubs his chin, glancing at John. "Why not?"
<Seraphna> <Why...?>
<DeathStar> <John> Look at how much we've changed things. None of us are going to be on that ship now. Warren designed it.
<Ariel> "I will not let you destroy my world!" *swings the elongated blade of energy at Wind*
<Xanatos> I...*he sighs* Fuck.
<Cassandra`> ...I know...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind is hit by the beam. He grabs Ariel, knocking Darien away. He yanks ARiel close
<DeathStar> <Wind> You cannot kill me, my ove.
* Seraphna looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lands beside Chad.
<Seraphna> <G... MOM!>
<Cassandra`> I have no idea if I even get assigned to PAX. My mental state from being a cyborg was one of the factors that made me volunteer to begin with...
<DeathStar> <John> Jesus.
<DeathStar> 6* He rushes to his unconscious, handless body, and dives in
* Chad`Winters quickly moves to his body, stepping in.
<Xanatos> What the hell is he doing!?
<DeathStar> 6* John rises, then begins to sneak up behind Ariel. He grabs her.
<DeathStar> <John> Go you.
<DeathStar> (Got)
<Seraphna> <John...?>
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands his ground, sliding back toward the vortex with Ariel.
* Chad`Winters holds up his gun, and begins charging up a green shot at Wind.
<DeathStar> <John> Little..help...
* Ariel winces as she's caught, "...no. Prehaps not... But my aim was not to kill..." She plants both feet against Wind and trys to push him away. Hoping John is strong enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind begins to lean back.
* Seraphna moves to her body.
* Chad`Winters adjusts his aim and fires at Winds hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind is hit, then he suddenly spins loose and into the portal. It closes up
<DeathStar> 6* John holds onto Ariel, boht of them hitting the floor
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... and so it ends."
* Chad`Winters lowers his gun.
<Cassandra`> ...keep Darien...lose Warren...I don't know...
* Ariel lands breathlessly. She glances towards Darien, trying to find the words to speak
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru watches, unseen
<Seraphna> <Balance... was everything some kind of trade...?>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... hey, Setsuna?"
<Seraphna> <What did I do... what...>
* Seraphna closes her eyes, clearly unfocused.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <... in a way...>
* Chad`Winters looks at Ariel, studying her.
<Chad`Winters> He's not even the same man you once loved.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...yeah?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up, glancing at Ariel.
<Seraphna> <I'm a real moron... aren't I?>
<DeathStar> <John> Now what happens?
<DeathStar> 6* Everything goes white. No one can see the other
<Cassandra`> ...hello?! Anyone out there?!
<DeathStar> Timechart: Late June
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* It's a beautiful morning. And after the weirdest dream, everyone wakes up.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Mmm... that was strange...>
<Seraphna> <What... kind of dream was that...?>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Damned if I know.>
* Seraphna sits up, looking around.
<DeathStar> 6* Hotaru and Seraphna seem to be in the same house. On Earth.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Probably something about... wait, you had the same dream?>
* Chad`Winters slowly opens his eyes, rubbing his face as he kicks his legs onto the floor.
* Xanatos slowly yawns, sitting up, glancing around.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade sits in the living room, glancing toward the bedroom. "Are you up?"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru gets out of bed, looking around for Em
* Seraphna nods at Spade. <I'm awake...>
<DeathStar> 6* Eve moans a bit, rolling over and grabbing Chad in a hug. "Don't go."
* Cassandra` too sits up, looking around...
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos is alone. How typical. Though he smells breakfast downstairs. He apperas to be in Darien's building
* Xanatos pulls himself up, scratching his head, he moves towards the downstairs.
<Chad`Winters> Hmm...6He glances backwards to see Eve in his bed.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *is cooking*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *mutters about weirdass dreams as she wakes*
* Seraphna gets out of bed slowly, looking around the room as if in a daze.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in a robe, eating a banana. She smiles at Xan. "Good morning."
* Xanatos tilts his head, staring at Ceil for a moment, he then glances at Erevis. "Mornin." he says, moving over to sit on a stool.
<Cassandra`> ...my boobs shrunk...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans over and kisses Xan on the cheek, then goes back to her banana.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wakes up next to his shuttle. He glances at Ariel. "Um, where are we?"
* Chad`Winters leans over, rubbing his face as he wakes up.
* Seraphna walks over to Spade, she smiles softly, and sits in his lap.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade takes her hand . Tehy're both wearing wedding rings. "Sleep well?"
* Xanatos arcs a brow, glancing at Erevis. "Man I had a weird dream."
* Ariel looks around, "...I thought you were the pilot?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I think we're in ... Africa.
* Seraphna nods again, blushing gently, she looks up into his eyes, feeling the bond she's missed for so long... missed? When did she miss it... it's been here... all along right?
<DeathStar> 6* Eve gets up, rubbing her face. "I'll go get Aya."
* Cassandra` gets out of bed and then walks to the mirror, pinching herself on the cheek...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "You seem surprised I'm here."
<Chad`Winters> Aya...6He turns, looking over at Eve
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Dream?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pulls herself out of bed, and looks for a beer*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Em?>
* Xanatos just shrugs and glances around. "Where is Kane?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "I don't know. He should be around somewhere."
<Ariel> Em> <*sleepily* ...hmmm?>
* Seraphna rubs her head a little, adjusting to new sensations... so many of them now...
<DeathStar> <Spade> You seem...groggy.
<Ariel> "It's... nice, here. Alive."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <I had the strangest dream..>
<Xanatos> Oh...*he glances around, then at Erevis*
<Seraphna> <I... had an odd dream...>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep. 6He rubs his face. He's not the same DArien she knew, that much is sure. But he seems...more confident and down to Earth now.
* Chad`Winters stands up from his bed, wearing only boxers. He moves over to the window and slides the curtains open, looking outside
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes the banana
<Xanatos> So what's the agenda for today. *he claps his hands together*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Darien said he had no missions for us today.
<Cassandra`> Hmmmm... *sits down...trying to remember anything that wasn't the dream*
<DeathStar> 6* Adam sits down across from Xanatos. "Day off? Score."
* Seraphna looks at Spade... she... tilts her head a bit, then kisses him softly.
* Xanatos nod and then glances up to stare at Adam.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade returns the kiss.
* Chad`Winters presses his hand against the window, staring outside.
* Ariel breaths a quiet sigh.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Are you okay, Chad?
<Chad`Winters> Something is just...I don't know, I feel odd.
* Xanatos glances over at Ceil, diverting his attention from Adam. "So whatcha cookin?"
<Seraphna> "I love you William..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I love you, too, Serena.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> Bacon and eggs.
<Xanatos> Ooooh, did you put enough salt on those eggs?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> Of course.
* Xanatos smiles and rubs his stomach, "Good." he glances at Erevis and winks at her.
* Seraphna rests against him for a moment, closing her eyes, "What do we have to do today?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I keep waiting for him to show, but it's been a year.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mimics the wink a moment later.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Spade> I have some meetings at Janus to take care of later. Why? Is there something you had in mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Adam grabs a broom and bangs on the ceiling. "CAssie, I'll eat your share fo the food if you don't hurry."
* Chad`Winters finally pushes off from the window and turns to look at Eve.
<Seraphna> "I just have this.... urge... I want to be with you today..."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Odd how?
<Seraphna> "I feel like I woke from a very long... strange dream..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then I'll clear my schedule. I'll be right back. 6He kisses her forehead, then goes to make the calls
<Xanatos> * Kane finally steps in from the backdoor that is near the kitchen, he is holding a bag full of some groceries. "Oh, is everyone up already?"
<Ari[AWAY]> Setsuna> *eyes Adam coldly* "...it's early. Keep it quiet."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *nods, smiling*
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Seraphna blushes and sits on the couch. <...Hota dear... you up yet?>
<DeathStar> <Adam> Sure, sure.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Yes. Why?>
<Ariel> Setsuna> *mutters* "...one of these days, I'll kill you in your sleep."
* Xanatos glances up to Kane and smiles. "What the hell you doing up so early?"
<DeathStar> <Adam> What was that?
<Chad`Winters> A strange nagging feeling at the back of my mind...
* Ariel nods slowly. "I know how you feel..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *makes a throat slitting motion*
<DeathStar> 6* Eve moves over to Aya's crib and picks her up, cradling her and moving over. "You want to talk about it?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "I just feel glad to be alive."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Someone has to take care of you people. *he shakes his head and moves over to put away the groceries, then moves over to wrap his arms around Ciel and kiss her on the cheek.*
* Chad`Winters looks over at Aya, a look of warmth flashing on his face.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I should probably look for him. We can't let him get stronger. 6He sighs. "But I find I enjoy life on Earth too much to go around the galaxy."
<Seraphna> <Just checking... are you alright? You had a strange dream too?>
* Ariel sighs, "Not that I disagree... but what do we do when we find him?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Yeah..>
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know.
* Xanatos glances around. "Man my head is buzzing. Did I get drunk last night?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> If you don't remember, then probably
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure how to describe it, Eve. 6He holds his hands out to pick up Aya.
* Cassandra` gets dressed...
* Xanatos glances to Erevis curiously, "Did I?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve hands over Aya.
<Xanatos> * Kane moves back and leans on the counter, he pulls out an apple and begins to toss it up and down.
<Seraphna> <What are you and Em up to today?>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> Well, even a genius is wrong sometimes.
* Chad`Winters grabs Aya, holding her above his head as he looks up at her, a slight smile appearing on his face
* Seraphna stands, realising she's still in her robe she walks to the bedroom again.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rests six feet under, chilling
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Em's still sleepy. She's so cute like that.>
* Xanatos shrugs then. "Must not be much of a genius." he sticks his tongue out at her.
<DeathStar> <Eve> She's got your eyes.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> I'm smarter than you. *sticks her tongue out at Xan*
* Ariel leans back, "...you're probally right though. We can't just sit here. We'd put everyone in danger if we neglect it."
<Xanatos> Adam here is smarter than me. *he motions acting like it is no big deal*
<Seraphna> <Good... let her rest. Mmm... most of you are awake... I never get tired of this...>
* Cassandra` finally heads downstairs...
<DeathStar> <Adam> Everyone is smarter than you. Hey, Cassie!
* Xanatos glances up at Cass.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rolls her eyes at Adam* "Finally got up, did you?"
<Chad`Winters> She does...6He pulls her in close, letting her rest in the nook of her arm. He moves over to their bed and sits on the edge of it. He than looks up at Eve. "You don't have that same feeling that I do?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "Hey Cass."
<DeathStar> <Eve> No. I can't say I do.
* Xanatos makes a face, "Well i'm bored."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lays back on the grass, cupping his arms behind his head. "So, what? We leap into a vortex and hope for the best?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are always bored. Besides, you are suppose to take me out today.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade returns. "All done."
<Xanatos> I am? *he pauses and then rubs his chin* Oh yeah...where too?
<Ariel> "I wouldn't be so reckless."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said it was a surprise.
<Chad`Winters> Hmmm...It must've just been a bad dream than....
<DeathStar> <Darien> *gives a lopsided grin* Reckless is good.
<Cassandra`> ...hey... *walks for the front door*
<Xanatos> I...*he frowns and looks down, seems he forgot*
* Seraphna walks over to him and kisses him again, smiling, "Anything you couldn't get out of or do you have time for a shower?"
<Xanatos> *Kane watches Xan and shakes his head, "You didn't forget..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> You mean sex. *He notes*
<DeathStar> <Adam> Where you going, Cassie?
* Seraphna acts as though she's thinking about it. "Hmm, if we must..." *she drags him into the bathroom*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade waves at Hotaru as he's led away
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...Cass?"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru laughs a little
<Xanatos> No! I...think I remember. *he rubs the back of his neck, smiling at Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh, do you?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> Something on your mind, Cass?
* Ariel shakes her head, "But still... I think we will need to prepare. He's not the sort that'd be trapped there forever..."
<Xanatos> Maybe? Did I give any hints??
<Cassandra`> ...I need to get some air...I feel spacey...have to visit someone too.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> Okay. Take care.
<DeathStar> <Adam> Want me to come?
<Xanatos> * Kane pulls out his datapad and begins typing on it quietly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. He's not
<Seraphna> *Ceres sits back, yawning a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *sighs* I'll give you time to remember as I shower. 6She goes upstairs
* Xanatos looks around at everyone. "Did...did I tell any of you!?"
* Chad`Winters scratches his chin with his free hand. 1"What did we have planned for today?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> A trip to the park
<Chad`Winters> The park..6He nods, as if trying to remember. "We should go eat first than, Aya's probably famished from a difficult night of sleeping."
* Ariel flops back against the ground. "...we'll need to prepare ourselves."
<Cassandra`> Nah...enjoyr your breakfast. I'll be back. Need some me time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Training? Or did you have something else in mind.
<Xanatos> *Kane just shakes his head at Xan, glances up at Ceil. "Darlin, you want to take a nap?" He lets a smirk slide onto his face.
<Seraphna> *Airier sits inside a familair, now not destroyed spacecraft, working on an engine, humming to himself.
* Xanatos hangs his head, trying to think. "What...is...special..." he holds his head.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> "Mmm... I could use a nap..." *grins*
<DeathStar> 6* Adam watches her go, then sighs sadly.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Nap?! IT's morning! Everyone just got up!
<Ariel> "Training is part of it... but that wouldn't be enough."
<Xanatos> NRP: Duh.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: *laughs*
<DeathStar> 6* Eve laughs . "OH, I'm sure. I'll go get her ready. You take your time." 6She leads Aya off.
* Seraphna is greatly enjoying her shower.
<Chad`Winters> Thanks dear....6He rubs his hands together, eyeing them.
<Xanatos> *Kane just smiles and moves towards the stairs, "Don't forget to turn off this burner." He notes, moving up to his room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What do you have in mind, then?
* Xanatos glances at Adam. "Do you know what special thing I had planned for Erevis?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ceilidh> *turns off the burner, then follows*
<DeathStar> <Adam> Sex.
* Cassandra` heads to visit Warren's grave...
* Xanatos eyes Adam.
<DeathStar> Warren's Tombstone: He saved the world. A lot.
<Ariel> "We'll need to find people who can stand up to him... weapons to fight him."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *wanders over to Cass* "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'd need to take his TPR powers away.
* Xanatos stands up and moves for his room, searching it for some kind of clue.
<DeathStar> <Adam> I WAS SERIOUS!
<DeathStar> 6* Adam eyes Setsuna now, since they're one n one.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *is in civilian clothes for once*
* Chad`Winters eyes the wedding ring, playing with it for a second. He stands up and moves into the adjoining bathroom.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *though... isn't that normal for her?*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *casually cuts an apple with a knife*
<Cassandra`> Hey...ummm...Red....can I have some time alone with Warren...?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "... yeah, I guess."
<DeathStar> <Adam> *coughs into his fist* Bitch*cough*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *heads off a bit*
* Ariel sighs, "I don't even know where to start... it's going to take a lot of research."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna smiles a tonberry smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strolls into Hotaru's area, with a ponytail. "Hey, where's Serena?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "In the bathroom. Having sex."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should also work on getting the Dragoons back on your side. 6He notes casually.
* Chad`Winters steps into the bathroom, quickly turning on the sink as the light turns on. He leans over the sink as he stares at himself in the mirror
* Xanatos searches his room frantically.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Typical Serena. 6She sits down beside Hotaru. "What's up?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Weird dream, but other than that, not much."
* Ariel nods slowly. That one stings still.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade makes Serena scream, since he already had a shower earlier
<Cassandra`> Ok...hate doing that...but...time for the crazy talk. *turns to the grave* Captain Carmichael, Captain arakawa reporting... ... ...I think. I don't know...my dreams seem more vivid than my memories...something is wrong here...I remember the ship...the Pax...the Dark Ones...all that mess...I still want to punch Sera in the face over getting you killed...I don't know...people I missed are still alive...but now I'm missing you and
<Cassandra`> Kyouki...my head is a mess right now...
* Xanatos scratches his head and moves to make sure everything is back in order.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out into her room, getting dressed.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It means we'll have to deal with Spade.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dream, huh? I slept like a baby.
* Xanatos sighs and crosses his arms, glancing up at the ceiling.
* Chad`Winters touches his reflection in the mirror, staring into it
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Felt like a lifetime."
<Cassandra`> Look...I don't know if this is the dream or some type of VR sim...I just wanted to save the ship..and now...I don't know...look...sir...I'm going to have to live my life here else I'm going to get locked up as a whack job.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade steps out with wet hair. "Hello, Cheryl."
* Xanatos hangs his head and moves over to get dressed.
* Seraphna hmmms from the bathroom, she steps out after him, cheery, towel wrapped about herself, "Cheryl! Hello dear."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *waves a hand* You act like newlyweds.
* Chad`Winters quickly scoops up some water and splashes it across his face, rubbing it
<Ariel> "It seems inevitable..." *closes her eyes* "...we'll likely have to fight some of them to free them, won't we?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Even after this long."
<Cassandra`> ...does that even make sense...? Hell...I don't know...I'll either woke up already or I'll wake up eventually...I need to head back...find Red and then see to Adam...its...complicated. Signing off, sir. *gives a salute then heads to look for Red Fox*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. It's a shame Zephyr is no longer here. She would have been on your side.
* Xanatos steps out of his room, and feels around in his pockets before moving back downstairs.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Finished talking to Warren?" *smiles sincerely*
* Chad`Winters shuts the water off and heads back into their room and begins putting on clothes
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out, casually dressed. Her hair is long, since she never attends it.
* Ariel nods slowly, closing her eyes tightly. She certainly didn't want to think about that.
<Cassandra`> Yeah...
* Xanatos closes his eyes and breaths deep. "Hmmm."
<Seraphna> "What can I say... that's real love for you." *she smiles to William, then grabs another towel, working on her hair*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps down, giving Adam and Setsuna look over. "You two are like siblings."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Bah. I'm fine being single.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up. "We should head back to the city, in any case.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *nods* "I've done it enough times myself."
<Xanatos> Fighting over the same girl. *he notes with a bemused grin*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...Siblings?"
<DeathStar> <Adam> That's insulting.
<Seraphna> "HOw are you today Cheryl?" *she asks as she usually does, even if the Alpha's emotions are plain to her*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Love is wonderful, isn't it?"
* Ariel rubs her eyes and sits up. "Y-yeah..."
* Chad`Winters steps into the kitchen, having chosen a grey hoodie and a pair of jeans
<Cassandra`> Well...I need to head back to the house before everyone thinks that I've lost my mind.
<DeathStar> <Cherly> Fine. Beat up some people. Burned a few buildings.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis, "Well, you ready?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Same ol' Cheryl.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Mind if I come too? I wouldn't mind seeing everyone again."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Whenever you are.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds out a hand to her.
* Xanatos extends his arm. A smile on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sits at the table with Aya, smiling at her daughter, playing with her.
* Chad`Winters pauses at the doorway, watching the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the arm. Adam watches them go, then eyes Setsuna. <Adam> If you were my sister, I'd beat my dad.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve smiles as Aya grabs a finger and holds on tight
* Xanatos steps outside, moving toward the sidewalk. "To be honest I can't really remember, but I hope I can wing it and it still be ok, all the same."
* Ariel lets Darien help her up, forcing a smile. It doesn't reach her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'll trust your judgement.
<Seraphna> "Any plans today Cheryl?"
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "......"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing is ever as perfect as we want it to be, is it?
* Seraphna steps behind a screen, getting dressed.
* Chad`Winters moves inside finally and heads over to the table, sitting down. 1"It looks wonderful"
* Xanatos arcs a brow, "Let's hope it is the right call."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Help yourself. I've already given Aya her food.
<Cassandra`> Sure...come on. *starts back for the house*
* Chad`Winters grabs just a little bit of food, a lot less than normal and begins picking at it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is unlike you - you should have more confidence in yourself.
<DeathStar> 6 *Eve glances at him, worry on her face, but she says nothing
* Ariel shakes her head, "...no. It never is."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, opening the shuttle ramp. The shuttle is his baby after all.
* Xanatos moves his other hand up to rub the back of his neck, "I know, it's just...that dream really messed with my head."
<DeathStar> 6* Adam scowls at Setsuna
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches a mother walk her daughter by, then glances ahead. "Dreams are just that - dreams."
* Chad`Winters finishes his plate rather quickly than looks up at Eve. 1"You two ready for the park than?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *ignores Adam, knowing she could kill him if she felt like it*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade smiles at Hotaru and Cheryl, and Cheryl smiles back. Seems she likes him.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hey, Serena? Do you remember a ship called PAX in the dream?>
<DeathStar> 6* Adam smiles at Setsuna, wondering where the urge to beat her face in comes from
<Seraphna> <PAX... like the station...? I guess, it's getting dim now like most dreams...>
<Seraphna> "Hotaru, Cheryl? Have you two eaten yet?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope.
<Xanatos> I know, but this one...it felt so real. Sooo...*he trails off, glancing up at the sky* I'm having a hard time sorting out my memories and my dream. How odd is that?
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then we must correct that, Cheryl my dear.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Yeah, I don't remember much about it either, but...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Food sounds good." *smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very odd. 6She agrees playfully.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Sure.
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... shall we go out or suffer anotehr cooking lesson from me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes his pilot's seat, powering up the shuttle.
* Xanatos would seem to be leading her to...a graveyard?? He glances down at her. "But man do I feel so happy."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I tell you what. I'll cook breakfast. You girls chat. 6He kisses Sera's forehead, then moves off to fix breakfast.
<Chad`Winters> Hopefully we can beat the other mothers there and get a good swing. That way I won't have to strong arm them out.
* Ariel sits quietly in her seat, withdrawn
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Isn't that Xan?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad to hear you are happy. 6She glances at the unusual locale.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Hey, Xan, Erevis!" *wanders over*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lifts off.
<Xanatos> Are you hap-*he glances up to Fox, and waves*
<Cassandra`> Back!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves back, then pauses at Cassandra's unsual greeting.
* Chad`Winters stands up, taking the plates and bringing them to the wash machine.
* Xanatos glances at Cass, then Fox. "She ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Eve adjusts Aya's clothing, then pats down her own summer dress.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> *blinks at Cass, and looks over, then back* "Yeah, just.. distracted."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You really miss your family. 6He glances at her knowingly.
* Seraphna smiles warmly and sits with the otehr two, "So... nothing new?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> .oO(Oh god, don't have a nervous breakdown, Cass...)
* Xanatos nods. "Well i'm sorry ladies, but I need to have some time alone with Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm afraid not. We're all not married to someone like Spade, after all.
* Chad`Winters steps back into the dining room. 1"Ready?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, studying Cassandra.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> "Sure. It was good to see you again." *heads back over to Cass*
<DeathStar> <Eve> Yep. 6She smiles, but it doesn't seem it's as cheerful as it should be. She tries to hide her worry as she picks up Aya.
* Xanatos nods his head. "You too." he glances at Cass again before moving into the graveyard, but he moves away from Warren's grave.
* Chad`Winters heads to the car with the two and steps inside, starting it up.
<Cassandra`> What...? And Xan...you have to call me captain. *crosses her arms and nods*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hotaru> Mmm.. love like that is rare.
* Xanatos tilts his head, eyeing Cass. Before moving off, a frown sliding on his face.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Ready for breakfast, Em-chan?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances back at Cassandra, then follows Xan.
* Seraphna smiles softly and sighs gently, "Cheryl, dear, we need to find you a man."
<Cassandra`> ...what? I can dream, can't I?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do we?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Red_Fox> Of course.
* Seraphna shrugs, "Only if you want to. But I think it'd be fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances ahead. "Tell me. Do you ever regret your life's decisions?"
* Xanatos stops in front of a tombstone, he glances over at her. "I figured that maybe you two should meet." He tombstone says Laela Durran.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I suppose if you think it's a good idea, I could try. 6* Spade's lips curl into a smile as he cooks.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sets Aya up in the backseat, then buckles up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your mother? 6She asks him, glancing ta Xan.
<Cassandra`> Let's head back now... *resumes walking*
* Seraphna smiles serenely and looks over to Hotaru, "And what about you dear?"
