<DeathStar> Stardate: Cannot Be Applied to This Reality
<DeathStar> Location: Old Earth
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> 6* After running all night, and all day, and approaching night again, the team has seem nothing but desert. And the intense heat and lack of water has taken it's toll. The all too human members of the team are suffering dehydration, heat stroke, and hallucations, and are growing dangerously weaker and closer to death. And even the non-human members are hard pressed after this intense run, with the Dark Ones always a few miles behind them.
* Alicia is now known as Michiru
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops moving along, too tired to move forward. "Lets pause here." 6He croaks out through cracked lips and a dry throat.
* Seraphna nods quietly, fixing her hair.
* Dias kneels down running his hand through his hair as he scratches his head to knock out as much sand as possible.
* Xanatos doubles over after the long run, taking labored breaths.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ungracefully hits a pile of sand, sitting there.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Cassandra` turns, gun aimed toward the horizon...
<Ari[AWAY]> Setsuna> *mutters* "...bout fucking t..." *Falls foward*
* Michiru collapses on the sand
* Seraphna checks on Xanatos, looking him over, before checking Michiru.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes haggered breaths, glancing out at the horizon. Perhaps it's the heatstroke, but he seems concerned, even bothered by something. And it's not the Dark Ones, who have been dogging them this entire time.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos moves his eyes over to Darien, "Whats...wrong?" he manages to get out.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> ... suits me fine, too. *sits down, looking exhausted*
* Dias rubs his face, knocking some of the sand off it. He looks down at his hands, clenching them into fists.
<Cassandra`> I'll keep lookout...I'm better able to tolerate this environment...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swallows, trying to get enough energy to talk. "It's been nearly..." 6He licks his lips. "24 hours. He should have been upon us by now."
<Cassandra`> He?
<DeathStar> 6* Vultures eye Sera hungrily.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wind.
* Xanatos plops down on his ass, he rubs the back of his neck.
* Seraphna eyes them back, she's not the closest one to death, and she's hungry.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I don't want to think about that."
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Dias> It's...because he's afraid...6He coughs. "Of me."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Xanatos manages a chuckle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't even diginify that with a snort.
<Ariel> "Something else must have his attention..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sounds amused* "You keep on believing that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something more important than you, Ariel? 6He sounds disbelieving. He swallows again painfully. "Erevis couldn't have...beaten him. So..what's stopping him."
<Dias> Erevis...6He plops down fully onto his ass then falls backwards onto his back.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... Erevis..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Don't talk like that.."
<Cassandra`> So what's your theory then?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head . "None. And that's what bothers me."
<Dias> How much further? 6His voice is raspy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No idea. It all looks the same.
<Dias> Than how do you know we're going the right way?
* Xanatos opens his mouth, but stops, about to ask the same as Dias.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Guess you have to trust me sense of direction. 6He says, giving a pained lopsided grin.
* Dias leans up, blinking.
<Dias> Anyone else see that oasis of naked girls?
<DeathStar> <Darien> ....
* Xanatos just stares.
<Cassandra`> Mirage.
<DeathStar> 6* They beacon Dias to them, rubbing water of their nude bodies.
<Dias> Best damn mirage I've seen so far...6He pushes himself up weakly, stumbling slightly. He then begins walking towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches him go.
<Cassandra`> He's going to kill himself doing that..
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Darien> At this point, I wish I saw it, too. I'm so thristy.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...wa...ter..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I think we're close, anyway."
* Dias stops, grumbling as the mirage goes away.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans his head back against some sand, closing his eyes. His breathing almost stops, it appears.
* Seraphna shakes his shoulder a little.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Hey, Darien.. don't die on us here."
* Dias turns around, heading back to the others.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm conserving my energy. 6He mumbles.
<Ariel> "...I'll keep watch."
* Xanatos groans and holds his stomach looking around. "Those vultures sure look tasty..."
* Dias plops back down on his ass and lays down.
<DeathStar> 6* A line of darkness appears many, many, many miles away. Their friends have caught up again.
<Cassandra`> We need to move.
* Xanatos groans again, this time a little louader. "Don't they know how to give up?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *slowly pulls herself to her feet*
* Dias pushes himself up again, his stomach rumbling
<Michiru> "Dad... Mom..." *pauses, pushing herself up through sheer force of will, despite her reluctance*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wheezes, his stomach wanting to puke. He gets up again, his general uniform covered in dirt.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *gets to her feet shakily*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Onward. 6He shuffles to the lead again.
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet. He holds his stomach and slouches over some. "...do I have too?" he mumbles, a frown on his face.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. You can chat with them if you wish.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Oh, I have a few 'words' for them..."
* Dias puts his hands behind the back of his head as he follows behind Darien
* Xanatos looks back, "yeah yeah...good point." He begins to move forward again.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *trudges forward*
* Ariel waits for the others to move, and takes up the rear
* Cassandra` takes point...
* Michiru trudges forward. She'd be crying if she was able
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles along, crossing the sanddunes.
<DeathStar> 6* A rug floats up to Xan and offers him a ride.
* Dias stumbles and trips down a sand dune, rolling to the bottom
* Xanatos blinks and reaches his hand out for it. "Anyone want a ride on this flying rug?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dias, holding out a hand to him.
* Dias grabs Darien's hand and uses it to pull himself up
<DeathStar> 6* The rug high fives Xan
<Cassandra`> If its too good to be true, then its a mirage.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Careful. 6He mumbles.
<Ariel> "..if it's too crazy to be true, it's also a mirage."
* Dias scrunches his nose and begins walking after Darien again
* Seraphna pulls Xan on.
* Xanatos droops his mouth open, glancing around. "You see that?" he looks to Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* The rug waves goodbye to Xan as Sera pulls him away.
* Xanatos slowly waves bye as well. "I'll miss that rug."
* Seraphna shakes her head at her boyfriend.
* Dias turns back, looking at Ariel than blinking. 1"Ariel mustn't be real, she's too beautiful to be real."
* Seraphna helps lead Michi along, trying to comfort her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dias, then at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna passes a bar with alcohol on it.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "We should stop at the town..."
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos moves along, a frown on his face.
<Dias> In fact...I'm beginning to think all the girls with us are just mirages. Why else wouldn't they put out for a stud like me. 6He crosses his arms in disdain
<DeathStar> <Darien> *motions at one* Then by all means, touch it.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Because you'll just move on to the next?"
* Dias moves over and grabs Kyouki's boob. 1"See? Not real."
<Cassandra`> Cause I think
<DeathStar> 6* Darien climbs up the next sanddune.
<Cassandra`> Cause I think Dias is a complete dork...
<Xanatos> Ewww being a dork is much worse than being an idiot. *he nods*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *angrily* "... so... Dias... which category am I under?"
* Dias blinks looking up. 1"The too good to be real category."
* Dias quickly drops his hand and backs up.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Good answer." *doesn't press the issue further*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien suddenly trips over something in the sand and trips, slamming into it with a weak grunt.
<Michiru> "... Darien?"
* Xanatos slides to a stop, tilting his head to see what Darien tripped over.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *closes her eyes as she passes the bar* "...bah... can't even hallucinate a decent brand..." *Walks into Darien, and falls*
<Dias> And the only reason Cassie doesn't want my body is cuz she's too busy dining at the y. 6He turns and begins climbing up the dunes, stopping to see Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is tripped over by Setsuna
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up with a groan, eyeing the sand. He reaches out, wiping sand away.
* Seraphna helps Darien up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs her off, wiping at the sand still. He begins to uncover what appears to be a sign. The language unrecognizeable.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *muffled cursing*
<Cassandra`> ...may I kill him...?
* Michiru looks over Darien, then the sign
* Xanatos just shoves his hands into his pockets, leaning back. "I sure hope it says, 'You're here'."
<Dias> Glances over. "I think it says 'No Loitering.'"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his face, laughing a bit. "Welcome to Mega City."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Give Way."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> ".. oh."
<Xanatos> Mega City?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Some city."
<Cassandra`> ...what...a name...
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're here. 6He stands slowly.
* Michiru sighs quietly
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes the vast desert.
<Michiru> "I... don't see anything."
<Xanatos> I feel super just being here.
<Dias> Wow, what a change of scenery. I'm glad you brought us all the way here.
* Seraphna yawns a little, stratching
<DeathStar> <Darien> Time hasn't been kind to this place. 6He notes grimly, rising.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "What was it like? Big?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Yes.
* Dias glances back at Serena. 1"Time hasn't been kind to Granny Serena either."
<Michiru> "Be nice to Serena!"
<Dias> Make me pip squeek. 6He narrows his eyes.
<Ariel> "Can we find shelter here? We're still being followed."
* Xanatos shakes his head at Dias. "So where's this ship we're looking for?" He glances at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien closes his eyes, as if seeing something else. He begins to walk forward. "We'll see."
<Michiru> "Oh, you do NOT want to challenge me."
* Xanatos snaps at Michiru and Dias. "Hush. Now's not the time to be bickering."
* Dias grunts and waves Michiru off, turning to follow Darien again
* Cassandra` follows as well.
* Xanatos moves on as well.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I'd ask more, but... whenever I get answers, they don't make sense."
* Seraphna shrugs it all off and gives Michi a hug
* Michiru hugs back, then follows Darien
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows too*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, keeping his eyes shut.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *reads Darien's mind, almost by accident, a little concerned*
* Ariel follows after Darien. Setsuna follows with a little more effort, stumbling
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns left and begins to move leftward.
<Dias> ...You're eyes are closed, you know that right?
* Xanatos tilts his head, stopping, he shrugs and then moves after Darien again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, I know.
<Dias> Than how do you know where you're going?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> ".... memory."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just gives a smile, walking leftward, then turns right.
<Dias> Don't give me that pedophile smile...
* Michiru shudders
<Ariel> "...have some faith. He's lead us this far."
<Dias> Exactly...More desert
<Cassandra`> Maybe the city is buried or something.
<Dias> By tons of sand.
<Michiru> "... or destroyed..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien idlely wonders how Warren puts up with them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and walks right.
* Dias groans and turns right.
<Xanatos> ....*he rubs his face, shaking his head* I'm losing my mind. *he says simply*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *laughs a little*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps forward, then suddenly slips and vanishes into a sinkhole.
* Dias moves over to the sink hole, staring down.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...he better be leading us to a bar."
<Cassandra`> I think the buried theory is winning...
<Ariel> "Darien!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *pauses, then jumps down after him*
* Dias grumbles and just stumbles into the hole, ont having the energy to jump in
* Xanatos stops mid-step, frowning. "Please tell me they aren't just blinding jumping into a hole?"
* Seraphna shakes her head more.
<Cassandra`> Would you rather jump in the hole or stay out for a tea party with the ancient evil that's over the hill?
<Michiru> "... I... don't know."
* Ariel heads down the hole.
* Seraphna heads after Ariel.
<Xanatos> .....well crap...and people call me the crazy one. Jumping into holes of unknown depths...*he shakes his head again, continuing his ramble as he stumbles for the hole. He falls in*
* Michiru pauses, then hops in clumsily
<Cassandra`> Everyone else down!
* Cassandra` heads in too!
<Ariel> Setsuna> *heads after Cass*
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos, while staring at a vagina cup, gets punched and kicked
<Xanatos> OW! *he falls back some*
<DeathStar> 6* Another figure leaps out at them.
* Dias lands ontop of Xanatos and moves to punch him in the face and stops, inches away. 1"Xan?!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... Xanatos?"
* Xanatos eyes Dias. "What the hell is wrong with you!"
<Dias> I thought you were one of those dark ones!
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "We thought you were an enemy."
* Seraphna eyes Dias a bit dangerously.
<Xanatos> ...get off of me.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes to her pocket, pulling out... an empty pill bottle*
<Dias> ....Oh! 6He steps off Xanatos and moves down to pick up the vagina cup. He than holds it out to Xanatos. 1"Water?"
<Xanatos> I...I think i'll pass.
<Dias> When's the last time you've had water?
* Seraphna sighs and shakes her head, siogning, "Drink hunny."
* Dias glances at Serena than narrows his eyes. 1"Did she just flick me off?!"
* Seraphna signs, "Make sure he drinks first."
<Xanatos> It's called sign language.
<Dias> She did it again! 6He slides up invisble sleeves than hands the cup to Xanatos as he slides into a fighting position.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Where's everyone else? ANd she said to make sure he drinks."
<DeathStar> 6* Michiru steps in through the door Kyouki was about to enter earlier.
* Xanatos sighs and takes a drink, then extends it to Sera. "Calm down Dias."
* Dias eyes Xanatos. 1"Isn't that the sweetest cup ever?"
<Xanatos> It's a vagina. *he notes*
* Dias pauses, tapping his chin. 1"I wonder if Cassie or Setsuna would like it..."
<Michiru> "Xan! Sera! Everyone!"
* Xanatos laughs. "Probably." he glances to Michiru and waves.
* Seraphna looks up
<Dias> So anyone figure out where the hell we are?
<Xanatos> I believe it is the home of the Chad from this earth. *he notes*
<Dias> Really?!
* Seraphna pours some into her mouth and hands it to Kyo.
<Michiru> "Chad was... like this?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I've had some, thanks."
<Dias> Oh we already had our fill from the faucet in the kitchen. Didn't we Kyouki?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *nods*
* Xanatos nods. "We found a picture upstairs of a naked chad...at least he looked like chad...surrounded by naked women. Sitting on a throne."
<Michiru> "Water..."
* Dias motions Sera to give the cup to Michiru
* Xanatos sighs and rubs his head, glancing around. "I wonder where the others are..."
* Seraphna hands her the cup and grimaces.
<Michiru> "They're probably somewhere else in the house... where's the kitchen?"
* Dias points to the way they came from
* Michiru drinks, more thirsty than bothered by the cup design
* Xanatos glances around. "So we came from upstairs, Michi came from there and you guys came from there. Where else does that leave us to go?" He glances around the room.
<Dias> Well, I'm gonna go back to exploring this sweet mansion. 6He moves past the group heading to a doorway that michiru didn't come out of
<DeathStar> 6* There's another door.
<Dias> You could go through the front door.
* Dias heads to that anotehr door and opens it
<Xanatos> Well I didn't plan on it. Oh there was some steps that led up from where we were. Think the others are there?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dias comes face to face wit -- Setsuna and Cassandra.
<Michiru> "Maybe."
<Dias> GAH! 6Leaps backwards, stumbling
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be in a decomtamination room, with a labatory behind them.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Hey Setsuna, Boobs..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *eyes Kyouki coldly* "...what?"
<Xanatos> Boobs? *he eyes Kyouki* Dias is a bad influence on you.
* Dias takes in a deep breathe and moves over to Michiru grabbing the cup. He then moves over to Setsuna handing her the cup. 1"A present for you both."
<Dias> 6It's a vagina cup.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *blinks* "Umm.. Cassandra."
<Cassandra`> Well...here you are. The place belonged to one of Chad's past lives. He thought highly of his manhood. *says offhandedly*
<Xanatos> Yeah, very highly. *he notes with a nod*
<Michiru> "I bet he was nothing on John."
<Dias> NRP: *Coughs* WHAT THE FUCK!?
<Michiru> "Though, Dad isn't so crude."
<Cassandra`> Anyway...yes, Kyouki?
* Xanatos eyes Michiru. "Ok well I believe we should all go upstairs now. Since that seems the be the only other way." He coughs and begins to move up the steps.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Ariel come walking down the stairs.
* Xanatos stops. "Well then..."
<Dias> If you kids are thirsty, there's water in the kitchen. 6He points than looks up at Darien and Ariel.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Anything up there, DS?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> The lab should be down here.
* Seraphna eyes Dias
* Seraphna bops him on the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow.
* Xanatos points to where Setsuna and Cass came from. "In there." He says to Darien.
* Dias growls as he looks at Serena. 1"What the hell was that for?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods briefly, then turns, walking for the lab.
<Cassandra`> The lab is down here.
<Cassandra`> Not much in there except for this. *holds up the device*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good. 6He eyes the device, with the symbols of someone shooting themself with it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hunh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and walks into the lab, passing two tall nude Slasher statues
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Hmmm?"
<Cassandra`> Don't ask me...this place is screwy.
* Xanatos moves after him, glancing at the statues. "How the hell could someone love themselves this much?"
* Seraphna shakes her head.
* Dias glares at Serena some more and turns, heading inside the lab.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *heads into the lab, looking a little confused*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You didn't know Slasher. If you wish to know him better, use that device on yourself.
<Xanatos> I...will pass.
<Dias> Chicken!
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "It gives memories?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along to the back wall, feeling his hand along it, as if searching for something.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It gives an experience that you'll add to your memories.
<Ariel> "Dare I ask?"
* Dias places his hands in his pockets as he follows along with Darien.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I get it."
<Dias> So this guy was some sort of nutcase?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Sex-crazed, it looks like."
<Dias> Who likes Vagina cups?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "A sex-crazed madman would."
<DeathStar> <Darien> He had a secret military base he used against me. He and someone else I knew used it.
<Dias> I now have a new idol.
<Xanatos> Someone else?
<Cassandra`> ...may I shoot him?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Don't even dare."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pushes in the wall and a passage opens.
<Dias> Military base?
<DeathStar> <Darien> There. Clever Slasher.
<Xanatos> Wait, you two were enemies?
* Dias eyes the passage opening. 1"Classic mad scientist!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up to a device on a railing. It appears to be a train car. Darien climbs in.
* Dias moves in after Darien, climbing into the train car.
* Xanatos moves forward to get in as well.
<Michiru> "I bet he was this world's John's rival."
<Dias> So care to tell us a little about the history between you two?
* Michiru climbs in
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
* Seraphna climbs in.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits a button and the train powers up.
<Dias> Oh...6He wiggles his nose, looking around.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *climbs in, too* "Awww..."
* Ariel enters. "Just remember to let us know anything /relivant/."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Still, if he was anywhere near as messed up as me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pushes the lever forward. The train begins to move forward.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Relievant? Oh yes. Hold on tight.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls.
<Cassandra`> He liked gimmicks, I'm guessing.
<Dias> Hold on tight?
* Seraphna holds on.
* Xanatos holds on tight then?
<DeathStar> <Darien> He liked speed.
<Dias> Pscht...
<DeathStar> 6* The train suddenly zooms forward as fast as a starfighter on boosters
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *holds on tight*
* Dias launches out of his seat and slams into Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Then begins to go faster.
* Dias presses against Xanatos harder now. 1GYAHHAHAHA!"
<Xanatos> GAH! *he shoves Dias off* Moron!
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmm. The breaks seem to be broken. 6He reads the data they cannot read.
* Michiru just clings to her seat
* Dias slams into a chair upside down.
<Cassandra`> Nice to know!
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's asking me if I would like anything added to my will. The hell...?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Thanks for telling us he wanted to kill you."
<Xanatos> A security feature??
<DeathStar> <Darien> *baffled* He wouldn't make something lethal.
<Xanatos> You so sure?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "A killing Darien fea...ture. Or not."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "If Darien says so, we should trust him!"
<DeathStar> 6* Then the train comes to a nice stop. The device laughs at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *sighs*
* Dias falls onto the floor. He pushes himself up, stumbling slightly
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be in another area altogether. A fortified doorway can be seen.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *laughs, a little crazedly, then takes a deep breath, climbing out*
* Xanatos sighs and pulls himself up. "That was actually pretty fun." He notes.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I'd kill him if he wasn't already dead."
* Seraphna climsb out, she'd be grumbling if she could make noises properly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out.
* Dias steps out of the train and falls to his knees.
<Michiru> "If I wasn't so sure I was going to die, I'd agree.." *climbs out, looking a little sick*
<Cassandra`> ..this guy needs a post-mortem butt kicking....
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles to the doorway, then puts a hand on the pad. IT reads it, then opens it. Darien looks surprised, but doesn't question it. He steps into the base.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Bring John back while you're at it."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows Darien*
* Xanatos steps out and glances around. He eyes Kyouki again and then shakes his head, stepping forward.
* Dias pushes himself up and walks into the base. 1"If he was at war with you...why were you keyed?
* Ariel follows, she'll be glad to be out of here
* Michiru follows as well
<DeathStar> 6* In front of them is a large capsule, but it's blocked off so they can't see in it. A red button with a note is there.
* Seraphna just sighs more.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reads the note.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *looks at the note*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Push me at the appointed time....?
<Cassandra`> Maybe Slasher knew he would be here...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the button.
<Michiru> "How? It's not like... well... maybe you can know the future."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This hand writing is familiar... 6He eyes the note, then sniffs it.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'd say this is the appointed time..."
* Xanatos eyes Darien.
<Dias> ...Did you just sniff that paper?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Smells like coffee.
* Dias moves over to the Darien and leans over to the note, taking in a deep sniff
<DeathStar> 6* The red button mocks them.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sniffs the note, too*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ahhh... coffee..."
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien eyes them both
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Anyway, button pressing time!"
<Dias> Smells like ass....
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes to press the button*
* Seraphna holds her head, they've gone cracked, she just knows it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It could be a trap.... 6He notes, but it's too late. She's pushed it.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *steps back*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "But... if I stay here any longer, I'll..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps back as the capsule begins to rattle
<Cassandra`> ...errr?
* Dias eyes the capsule rattling. 1"Is it supposed to be doing that?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... get scared of shaking capsules." *steps back*
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... I don't know.
<Dias> And I thought we were looking for a ship, not a capsul.
<Dias> Should...Should we step back?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Maybe the ship is in the capsule?"
* Xanatos is already stepping back.
<DeathStar> 6* The capsule suddenly opens. Dramatic smoke comes out.
* X1 is now known as MysteriousThingPerson
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Kyouki
* Dias turns slowly to look at Kyouki
* Cassandra` raises her gun, just in case.
* Ariel watches.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rolls her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thanks for killing my hearing.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes quiet*
* Seraphna watches with surmounting dread.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Sorry..."
* Dias slides behind Darien than suddenly shoves him towards the smoke.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien falls right into the capsule.
* Xanatos blinks. "Dias what the hell!?"
<MysteriousThingPerson> *a nude female form begins to appear from under the veil of smoke. A young, blonde girl with cute little pigtails and freckles stands there. Her eyes are closed, still in stasis*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares right into her breasts.
* Dias 's jaw suddenly drops, his eye going wide.
* Seraphna blinks, signing, "Who the hell is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks his head back.
* Xanatos shrugs. "I dunno."
* MysteriousThingPerson eyes begin to flicker open
<Dias> Hot....6He just stares, lost in deep, naked girlness.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *watches*
<Cassandra`> No idea...
* Xanatos steps forward. "You know who she is, Darien?"
* Ariel sighs.
* MysteriousThingPerson begins to stir and stretches up high, then stratches her chest, but is actually itching Darien's head instead
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to talk, but seems baffled.
* Michiru eyes the girl
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "Wow."
* MysteriousThingPerson yawns, then blinks a few times, smacking her mouth. Looking down, still sleepy, she just stares at Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares back. "Um. Hello."
* Dias suddenly slides up infront of Darien, pushing him back. 1"Hey there beautiful. My name's Dias."
* MysteriousThingPerson stares. "Ibichana?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles back.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... *narrows his eyes at Dias shoving him forward and back*
* Cassandra` walks over and yanks Dias back.
<Michiru> "Hi Ibichana!"
<Dias> No, Dias. 6He points at himself as he's pulled back and than yanked back.
* Seraphna raises an eyebrow.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...idiots."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's not her name.. 6He tels Michiru
<Dias> GAHHH! 6He struggles to get out of Cass's grip.
* MysteriousThingPerson tilts her head
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ariel, do you mind if... I read your mind?"
* Seraphna signs, "So who is she?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Giobaish ru tu? 6He asks her.
* Xan|Gone has joined #taw
<Ariel> "...why would you want to do that?"
* MysteriousThingPerson shakes her head, then steps out of the tube, walking past everybody to a small table in the corner. There seems to be some appliances of some sort.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... because, that way, I can concentrate on one person..."
<Dias> Let me go!
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to follow her with his head.
* Seraphna taps her foot.
* Dias suddenly grunts as he tries to tilt his head to get a better look at her ass.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
* MysteriousThingPerson turns around with a pot of some black liquid in her hand, then she begins to down the pot
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Darien> OH Jesus, is that what I think it is...
* Seraphna blinks
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "Origin??"
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Seraphna looks at the rest in worryl.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I don't think so..."
<Xanatos> Old coffee??
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<MysteriousThingPerson> Chuuuwa nex phreee. Huwata naaall de?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... more likely..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I feel like I should know this person."
* Seraphna rubs her head, trying to make out the words, matching them with the villagers.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He jerks back.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Oh, to hell with it." *reads the MTP's mind*
* Xanatos glances at Darien. "What is going on?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No way.
<Dias> Cassie, can you please let me go? 6He turns to look at her.
* MysteriousThingPerson blinks a few more times, then looks down, finally fully noticing she's stark raving naked in front of everybody.
* Seraphna signs, "What??? Who is she?"
* Cassandra` sighs and lets go.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... Deeth Saru.
* MysteriousThingPerson screams in a loud, high pitch then sprints back into the tube, slamming it shut behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Death Star?"
* Seraphna looks at Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I think the name scared her.
* Seraphna walks over to him.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Isn't that... what Wind used to call himself?"
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Ohh my head is killing me." He rubs his face.
* Dias hits the ground and moves over to Darien, stopping beside him
* Seraphna eyes him up and down
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Wow. Um... does anyone have a datapad?
* Seraphna grabs hers and pulls it out.
* Seraphna types something on it, then hands it to him.
<Dias> Let me check my native clothing....6He mockingly checks himself.
<Cassandra`> Maybe it was being naked in front of a person like Dias.
* MysteriousThingPerson falls out of the tube - a pair of pants hurriedly pulled over her head and a bra over her legs
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes the datapad without answering. He brings up the languages. He glanes up.
* Ariel blinks
* Dias tilts his head as he stares at the girl again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep. She's related.
* Xanatos opens his mouth and frowns. "Related?"
<Dias> Related...?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... mmhmmm..."
<Dias> To this universes' Chad?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... no."
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. She's related to X1. This is X3.
* MysteriousThingPerson groans. "Yessaa noraa"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Is there any coffee left?"
<Dias> Who the hell has a name like X1 or X3?
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... I don't know, actually.
* Xanatos tilts his head and pulls off his jacket, stepping forward and extending it to X3.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *looks for coffee*
* Seraphna sits down and holds her head, for some reason the very mention of the name X1 has filled her with dread, the very sounding of X3 just makes her shudder.
<Dias> We should call her something else...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up the pants to see her face. He holds out the datapad. "De caru deetepu nux."
<DeathStar> 6* He holds it out.
<Dias> No, too long...6He taps his chin.
* MysteriousThingPerson takes Xanatos' jacket and pulls herself to her feet, trying to fix her 'wardrboe'
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *idly considers the effects of stimulants on psychics*
* MysteriousThingPerson takes the datapad and begins to read it
* MysteriousThingPerson is now known as X3
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back. "Well, hopefully she can learn our Basic."
<Dias> How bout Zinfadel?
* Ariel nods in agreement
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Zinfadel?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Perhaps someone should teach her out to dress, however.
<Dias> Don't look at me, I'm only good at teaching girls how to undress.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glances to Xanatos, smirking*
* Xanatos glances at Kyouki. "What the hell are you smirking at?"
* Seraphna sighs and walks over, moving to help this X3 to get dressed.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Naaaaked Erevis..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... *Grabs Sera* Bad idea.
* Michiru just eyes Kyouki. "Is she...?"
* Xanatos eyes Kyouki. "Oh dear god just shut up. You're not making any sense at all."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves at Ariel. "Would you do it?"
* Seraphna looks up at him
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "You taught Erevis to dress, didn't you? Well.. sortof."
* Seraphna signs, "Why is that?"
<Dias> Hmm....Cleavage?
* X3 tilts her head up, thinking, then pitches the datapad at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just incase she's programmed to kick your ass.
* Seraphna blinks
<Xanatos> No. I told her being naked was rude and innapropriate. She figured it out.
* Dias is nailed in the head then suddenly falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
* Seraphna signs, "...Do I exist to be hated or something?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Close enough."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. She seems to have good taste and good aim.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lets Sera go.
* X3 smiles cutely. "Hi. I'm X3."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "For some reason, I keep picturing you as a cat, Serena."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And she learns fast.
* Seraphna looks over at Kyo, signing, "A... cat?"
<Xanatos> ...right...and I guess you would want some strange man coming up to you and trying to shove clothes on you then?
* Dias pushes himself up, rubbing his head. 1"But X3 will be so awkward to call out...
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "A cat!"
* Ariel looks at Kyouki like she's crazy
<X3> It wouldn't be the first time!
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'm sorry... I'm just being overwhelmed..."
* Seraphna rubs her forehead.
<X3> Uh, wait, what I mean is that....Hey, wait a minute, who are you people, and why are you in my bathkitchenbedroom?
* Seraphna waves a silent greeting to X3 and sighs.
* Xanatos sighs. "Bathkitchenbedroom?"
<Michiru> "This is your... room?"
<Ariel> "My name is Ariel. And we were looking for the hangar."
* Dias looks around. 1"I thought this was some secret base used to wage wars?"
<Michiru> "Anyway, I'm Michiru McCormick! Nice to meet you."
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien watches X3.
<Xanatos> Xanatos Durran. *waves a hand slightly, since everyone else is giving out their names*
<X3> The hangar? Oh! Yeah, just a second!
* X3 dives into a side room and starts wildly throwing stuff outside
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms slowly. He seems to be somewhat amused.
* X3 pops her head out; the pigtails bobbing as she bounces her head around
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ar... Dar..." *looks annoyed for a moment* "I'm Kyouki."
<X3> Here you go! *hands Ariel a metal hanger*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You certainly are.
* Dias blinks, eyeing X3
<Ariel> "...hangar, not hanger."
<DeathStar> 6* Draien blinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tries not to laugh.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *laughs*
<X3> Ohh, a hangar....Yeah, we're fresh out of those.
* Seraphna giggles mutely.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops. "Well, I suppose it was too much to hope for."
* Xanatos smiles. "Cute...but that means we're stuck here then."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "So, no way off the planet."
<Dias> Any battle cruisers?
<X3> So, let's get down to business, shall we? *slaps her hands together and rubs them vigorously.*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "To business?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks. "Business?"
<Cassandra`> We do need to get out of here before the Dark Ones figurte out where we went to.
<Michiru> "... we can't do that without a spaceship..."
<X3> Of course! You're here because you have a court case you needed won, right? You've come to the right place, I'm the best unhuman attorney around!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's eyes widen.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Objection!"
<Dias> But...you just woke up?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "We came here for a spaceship!"
<X3> Well, yeah, every girl needs her beauty sleep.
* Seraphna rubs her face
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel slwoly.
<Cassandra`> Uhhh...?
* Xanatos makes a face. He steps over to the side and leans against the wall, crossing his arms.
<X3> Ohhh, a spaceship? Let me think, where did I leave that...Oh yeah, fresh out of those, too. And oranges. But I have orange juice!
<Michiru> "Speaking of which..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes the moment to slip away while X3 haggles the team.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Any coffee?"
* X3 points to the back corner. "Careful, it might be a little strong. I use my Granpa's reciepe."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes to get some*
<Dias> How long have you been sleeping for?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enters a side room.
<X3> Uhh, let's see, I went to bed on Wednesday, so this must be...Thursday?
* Seraphna signs, "Friday, lazy."
<X3> Fri...day?
* Seraphna nods, looking serious.
<Dias> Friday? How the hell would we know what day it is here?
<Michiru> "I just know I'm tired."
<Cassandra`> This is getting nuts...
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Sorry!"
* Seraphna shakes her head at Dias, making a circling motion around her ears, pointing at him.
* X3 blinks, then goes over to the stasis pod and squints at it. Then she shoots up in surprise. "Oh man, the Johnsons are going to have my hide, they're case was supposed to be at noon sharp Thursday!"
* Xanatos makes a face. "...stop teasing the girl and tell her the truth. Now." He orders Sera.
<Michiru> "Umm... you might have slept a little longer than you thought..."
* X3 rushes back from the tube, blowing past everybody as she grabs the phone
<Dias> Well since you've got clothes on....I'm bored. 6He glances around
* Seraphna sighs and shrugs, signing, "It's friday... a long, long friday far away from when you went to sleep."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *drinks some coffee, gagging after*
<X3> Operator! Get me John and Stacy Johnson! What! What do you mean they're dead? What? What do you mean I'm talking to myself?!
* Dias moves to the side room, stepping in.
<Xanatos> We don't even know what day it is! *he shakes his head and steps forward* Apparently you've slept for much longer than what you intended. Infact this planet is about to die. We're trying to escape.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *laughs bitterly*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies what appears to be an elevator pad that leads to the surface, and some dead computers.
* X3 tosses the phone behind her. "Great, there goes my partnership."
* Dias looks at Darien. 1"So what's this thing?"
* Seraphna pouts apologetically for X3.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It'll take us back to the surface. If we stay down here, the Dark Ones will overrun us.
<X3> Oh. *blinks* Well, in that case....
<Michiru> "Looks like an elevator pad?"
* Seraphna signs, "It's a very late friday, very late."
<Xanatos> We could use your help, honestly.
* X3 hands Xanatos a medkit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the room with the others. "I guess we should take the girl with us."
* Xanatos looks down at it. "I mean, in getting off of this planet."
<Dias> I could use another pair of tits to stare at...
<X3> There ya go. Just slap some of this oinment on the planet and it should be good as new!
<X3> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dias.
<X3> I know a really good used shuttlecraft dealership in town!
* Dias stands there, picking his nose.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *Rolls his eyes*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *firmly, but as if trying to concentrate* "I agree with Darien."
<Cassandra`> Did you find anything...?
<X3> Ohh, it's Friday, he's close.
<X3> *closed
<Michiru> "He won't mind if we borrow one."
* X3 gasps and slaps her hands over her mouth.
<Xanatos> Despite how retarded the others are acting, this is serious time. We need a way off of this planet and trust me when I say that we're not going to find anything in town.
* Dias flicks a booger at a wall
<X3> Ohmigod, I just realized something!
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm going to scout the surface. 6He steps onto the pad, then hits a button.
* Xanatos sighs and looks off to the left. "What..."
* Dias leaps onto the pad after him
* Seraphna sighs and hugs Xan gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Darien ride up to the surface.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'm going too... when the pad returns, at least."
* Xanatos glances at Sera claiming her territory. He arches a brow.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<X3> I have no idea who any of you people are and what you're doing in my house! Oh god, you're robbers, aren't you! Don't kill me, please, here, take my toaster! I know he isn't much, but he makes the best bread ever!
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "No, we're here looking for a spaceship. We didn't know anyone was even alive."
* X3 tilts her head. "Whadda ya meanm 'alive'? As opposed to what?"
* Xanatos sighs. "You're lucky we found you, you'll get to see this planet's end with us."
<DeathStar> 6* The area shakes suddenly.
* X3 looks at Xan. "You one of those 'End of the World' kinda guy, ain't ya?"
<Cassandra`> Uh-oh...
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "As opposed to dead!"
* Xanatos looks up. "Sure..." He moves towards the room Darien and Dias went into.
<X3> Whoa! Guess I missed my Eartchquake insurance payment!
<DeathStar> 6* Explosions can be heard - it seems that they're destroying the underground area.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *looks around for an escape route*
* Xanatos pushes a button that he assumed will bring the lift back down.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator pad comes back dwon.
<Xanatos> Come'on now! *he orders those in the other room, stepping onto the lift*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *steps onto the pad, in that case*
* Ariel has joined #taw
* Michiru follows
* Seraphna gets aboard with Xan.
* X3 shrugs and follows, skipping along.
<X3> Can we stop by the mall? I need to pick up some things.
* Xanatos waits until everyone else steps on before pushing the up button.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...there is no mall."
* X3 screams
<DeathStar> 6* The pad tries to rise.
* Cassandra` boards.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ariel, I repeat my..." *pauses* "Never mind. I'll cope. I am strong willed." *continues repeating the last sentence as a mantra*
<DeathStar> 6* The pad begins to overload due to their weight load.
<Xanatos> We're too heavy. *he steps off*
<Cassandra`> Looks like there is a mass limit, lovies. *hops off* Go on ahead!
<DeathStar> 6* The pad shoots up.
* Xanatos pushes the button to bring it back down. He glances at Cass. "Having fun?"
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone arrives on the surface with Dias and Darien, who are staring at out the horizon.
* Seraphna gets off with the others first, it would be assumed.
<DeathStar> 6* But then they shoot right back down - Xan hit the button to ofast.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
* Dias blinks, than rubs his forehead.
* Xanatos frowns. "Damnit. I didn't know this was touchy. Sorry...."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Dari... Damn you Xan!"
* Seraphna hits it to go back up, then gets people off.
* Xanatos hits the up button again.
* X3 folds her arms. "Some people are so damn impatient."
<Dias> Death doesn't seem like such a bad idea, does it?
<DeathStar> <Darien> ..... 6He watches everyone return.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *quickly hops off once at the top*
* Xanatos sighs and waits patiently.
<Cassandra`> Let's just go. *heads up*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *looks where Darien is looking*
<DeathStar> 6* They are surrounded by the Dark Ones' army.
* Seraphna gets everyone off and sends it back down.
* Xanatos gets on with Cass and hits the up button.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. It's obvious he knows they can't win.
* X3 stands behind Darien. "Friends of yours?"
* Ariel nods a little, but she doesn't plan to just roll over and die.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They're the enemy.
* Xanatos stares. "Normally I would make some stupid comment. But i'm sure someone else will have it covered for me." He notes, stepping off of the lift.
<X3> Oh.
<X3> Who's enemy?
* Dias plops down onto his ass.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Theirs.
<Cassandra`> Well...the quake was probably the result of thousands of feet marching in synch...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tries to do a headcount, but loses count around a few hundred.
* X3 scratches her head. "They're enemies of...themselfs?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... *eyes X3*
<Dias> The quake was them blowing up the ground.
<Xanatos> Ours. Enemies of ours. *he gestures to the team*
<X3> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's shoulders slumps. He's too exhausted to fight 10 of them, much less a thousand
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *eyes the Dark Ones. Her enemies.*
<Dias> Huh...only around 600...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Only, eh?
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Army, knowing they have them surrounded, seem to be taking a moment to enjoy it
<X3> Goodie! I've never been part of a team before! Well, there was that retreat I took with my office and we had these groups to build moral and whatever, and we were called 'teams', then we had to come up with these ways to outthink the other teams and then we all got trashed and I xeroxed my butt, it was soooo embarassing!
<Dias> I'm disapointed...I was hoping to just fight one...6His left hand clenches into a fist.
* Xanatos rubs his neck. "I doubt I could hold my own against a couple, let along this army."
<DeathStar> <Darien> X3?
<X3> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Shhh.
* X3 looks down; her lower lip quivering
<Cassandra`> ...orders...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can't fight them and win.
<Michiru> "So, maybe we don't fight?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I do not think they want us alive.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> We can't run either.
<Michiru> "We.. do something else..."
<DeathStar> 6* A Dark Ship appears in the sky overhead.
<Cassandra`> I'd rather try taking some of them with me if it comes to that...
* Michiru thinks as hard as she can, trying to find a solution
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, glancing up.
* Dias looks up at the Dark Ship, he stands up, both fists clenched tightly
* Seraphna looks over the situation quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the circle begin to close in slowly.
<Xanatos> We sure could use a miracle right about now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hah.
* X3 pulls out a subpenoa
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Ariel looks to Darien uncertainly
<X3> Here you go.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes it.
<Cassandra`> ...what is that...?
<X3> A subpenoa. A summons to appear in court.
* Xanatos looks around. "Well...it worked in those movies I watched with Sera..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm afraid there is no courts left on the planet, X3.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... I don't think that will work here."
* Dias eyes the Earth Rune on his hand then looks around again
<DeathStar> 6* One eager Dark pet leaps forward, howling with delight. It shoots at tendril at X3.
* X3 turns to Darien. "I know! Tell me about it! Things get so held up in litigation anymore, it takes 3 months for a simple jaywalking charge!"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *moves to throw the pet aside telekinetically*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks X3 aside.
<X3> Ack!
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Kyouki's head is invaded, pounding way her will.
* Ariel draws her blade defensively
<DeathStar> 6* The pet howls as it's thrown, then it recovers.
* Xanatos slowly pulls out his pistols, chargin them up. "..."
* Dias quickly punches the ground, a rock spike erupting out of the ground beneath the pet.
<DeathStar> 6* The pet is knocked away.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I wondered when this'd start..." *tries to hold back her psionics again*
* Cassandra` loads a shot into her gauss rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* It doesn't let up. And the sheer number just knocks her right out of the fight
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien presses his back against Ariel's back. "Well, it looks like this is one last battle to remember."
* Dias breathes heavily.
<Michiru> "I guess so.."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Army gets within a certain range and pauses.
* Xanatos makes a face. "I...they're stopping?"
<Cassandra`> ...what's going on?
* Seraphna blinks
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... tell me. Can they all do that tendril thing?
<Michiru> "Don't ask me."
<Xanatos> ...I believe so.
* Seraphna shrugs and nods.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... then duck.
* X3 holds up her subpenoa again. "See, it works!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits the dirt as a 600 hundred tendrils fly out at them from all driections
* Cassandra` ducks!
* Ariel hits the deck
* Seraphna grabs X3 and hits the dirt.
* Dias backs up, stopping to defend Kyouki, then suddenly drops down to the ground
* Xanatos falls to the dirt.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *just falls over. She's fricken TIRED!*
<X3> Ack!
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're not fish in a barrell!
* X3 looks to Sera and smiles in appreciation, then screams her head off
* Dias groans as Darien speaks.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils withdraw.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up.
* Dias stands up, clenching his fist again
* Seraphna flinches a little, helping her up.
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet. "Next time they wont miss."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a tch sound.
<Cassandra`> ...They'll aim lower next time...
* X3 rolls up the sleeves on Xan's jacket
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't suppose Sera has a pilot?
* Seraphna looks to Xan.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Right, no pilot. And no time for her to synch with one.
<X3> Okay, if they want to fight, then I'll kick their ass!
* Dias begins breathing deeply as he holds his fist up.
* Xanatos frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils launch again. This time they come in from all angles. It appears they want them bad.
<X3> Oh dear.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hell.
* Michiru moves to avoid the tendrils. "I guess they already know about me..."
* Xanatos does his damnest to avoid being killed by the tendrils.
* Dias slams his fist into the ground, seconds later rocks jut up around the group
<DeathStar> 6* Darien twists, a tendril driving threw his arm.
* X3 covers her head. "I take it back! I take it back!"
<DeathStar> 6* The rest slam into the rock.
<DeathStar> 6* And shatter it.
* Dias drops to his knees, sweat pouring off his face as he breathes heavily.
<Cassandra`> Crap!
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils withdraw.
<Cassandra`> We can't keep this up forever!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his arm, leaking blood.
<X3> I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning!
<DeathStar> <Darien> Damn.
* Seraphna nods in agreement with X3
<Michiru> "Any ideas?"
<Xanatos> You alright? *he glances to Darien*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll live.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dias, can you do that rock thing again?
<Xanatos> For a few more moments at least. *he notes with a frown*
<Dias> I...don't know...6He stands up, although weakly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Know. Because I think you pissed them off.
* Dias takes in a deep breathe, his entire body tensing up.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils lash out again.
* Ariel looks to Darien worriedly. She's tense.
* Michiru stands ready. If she has to, she'll do the hyperspace thing again
<X3> Have you tried offering them an out of court settlement? That helps, sometimes!
<Cassandra`> What about the mother of all quakes?!
* Dias slams his fist into the ground again, trying to muster up asm any rocks as he can.
<DeathStar> 6* This time only a few rocks rise - leaving some spots open.
* Xanatos prepares to dodge should Dias fail.
* Seraphna twists and weaves, dodging.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien twists, a tendril cutting his right cheek.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *plays dead... they can't sense her anyways*
* X3 starts to dig a hole with her hands
* Seraphna flinches as a tendril gives her a slice across her leg.
* Ariel spins to cut down some of the tendrils that come her way. This is getting rediculous
* Dias looks down at the sand where he punched, blood now pooling there from his knuckles.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps back, his face bloodied.
* Xanatos narrowly avoids a tendril to the head, but takes a cut along his side.
* Michiru twists between the tendrils, cutting them with her saber
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... *The tendrils withdraw*
* X3 stops
<X3> They're retreating.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No, I do not think so.
<Michiru> "... preparing?"
<Cassandra`> Maybe they're just going to have their ship nuke us or something...
<Ariel> "...Darien..."
* Seraphna flinches and closes her eyes, her wound slowly closing.
<DeathStar> 6* Yep. The ship is moving into position.
* X3 leans next to Darien. "Maybe we should give them a sacrifice..." *nods towards Xan*
<Michiru> "We need to get out of here..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *considers*
* Xanatos looks up at the ship, he narrows his eyes.
* Dias slowly looks up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. Checkmate. 6He notes bitterly.
<Xanatos> ...wonderful. *he says with extreme sarcasm*
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, something else can be seen above it. A flaming ball that's the size of the PAX
<X3> Well, if this is the way we're going out..
* X3 rips open her shirt
<Cassandra`> ....what the?!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head back. "Is that a giant flaming bird?"
* Michiru blinks
* Dias falls to one knee as he looks up at the flaming ball.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, it almost seems to have wings.
* Seraphna eyes it, doing a quick runthrough in her head.
* Xanatos arches a brow. "I think...so...?"
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a beam straight down into the Dark ship.
* Seraphna blinks, signing, "P. A. X."
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> The PAX doesn't have wings! *he looks at Sera like she is crazy*
<DeathStar> 6* The dark ship is hit and knocked aside, crashing into the dark army.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Michiru> "Right now... I'm not worried what it is, as long as it beats up the Dark Ones."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, that's good, but I thought your ship was a space ship.
* Dias covers his face as sand begins to fly by from the ship crashing
<Xanatos> That's not our ship. *he notes again*
<DeathStar> <Darien> --- and it's about to land on us.
<Michiru> "Everyone move!"
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, the flaming ship just falls like a rock. And as it gets closer, yes - it's indeed the PAX. But it seems to be modified
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nowhere to run.
* X3 steps to the side
<Dias> We're...going to get crushed...
<DeathStar> 6* Launching out of it appears to be two dragoon mechs.
* Xanatos begins to back up. "We could run toward the crashed ship...
<DeathStar> 6* And just like that, the huge PAX ship vanishes, activating what appears to be the Light engine.
* Seraphna scratches her head.
* Xanatos stares. "I..."
<Cassandra`> ...what...just happened...?
<Michiru> "... thanks for picking us up."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Army, already thrown into complete chaos, gets attacked by a giant beam cannon from one mech.
* Ariel just smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, glancing at x3
<DeathStar> <Darien> I feel like we're not in the loop.
* Dias plops down onto his ass, trying his best to stay awake
<Michiru> "That was the PAX..."
* Seraphna looks to Ariel questioningly.
<Cassandra`> Don't ask me...the PAX's configuration was radically altered. The main superstructure was recognizable...but...
<Xanatos> ...it sure looked different.
* Seraphna tries... <...Sis?>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the two mechs attacking the Dark Ones from the sky.
* X3 leans next to Darien. "I have noooo idea what's going on."
<Ariel> "...they're back."
