* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070509.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Not Hell
<DeathStar> 6* Darien trudges forward. Zephyr staggers along sleepily. And Erevis stiffly walks.
* Seraphna walks along with Darien, stumbling a little, doing her best to move on.
<Chad`Winters> Climb on my back, I'll carry you for awhile.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And let you waste energy? Pfft.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds out a hand to steady Sera.
* Junior moves ahead, his blade deftly held in his hand as his eyes dart form side to side, keeping pace with the others.
* Xanatos moves on, he is at the rear of the group and his eyes are locked onto the ground.
<Chad`Winters> Don't be stupid.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not stupid. 6She whines.
* Seraphna looks to him.
<Seraphna> <<I-I'm alright... really...>>
<Chad`Winters> You're not regaining any strength by walking. Any energy you can recover while on my back will offset what I lose carrying you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. If you need to lean on me, go ahead.
* Xanatos raises his eyes slowly, eyeing Zephyr. "Seems he just wants you on his back."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *eyes Xan, then Chad*
* Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos. 1"Seems you just want a black eye."
* Seraphna sighs mutely and leans on Darien for support, resting wearily. <<Fine...>>
* Xanatos smirks. "Very testy." He smirks fades at that moment and he just continues on.
* Chad`Winters glances at Sera than back at Xanatos. 1"Looks like you're not needed..."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "How much longer...?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... don't say things like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along with Junior.
* Xanatos just shrugs at Chad now, not giving Chad the pleasure.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just sighs at the two
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You two make me even more tired.
* Junior glances to Erevis, looking back ahead. He takes a deep breath, sheathing his sword.
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head at Xanatos, he then glances at Zephyr.
<Xanatos> You could always ride of my back Zephyr. *he says with a wave of his hand and a bite of sarcasm*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No thanks.
<Chad`Winters> She prefers to keep her limbs.
* Xanatos smiles. "Yeah, can't say that I blame her."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, trying to tune out the bickering
<Xanatos> Hey...where's Dias? *he glances around*
<Seraphna> <<Make the loud noises stop...>>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Right here ya jackass.
<DeathStar> <Darien> <<I could stab Xan if you want.>>
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "All this chitchat's nice, but we don't have time."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along the tunnels, trying to keep a low profile scan open.
<Xanatos> Oh. You were being quiet...not use to that...*he whistles and glances at Kyouki* We're walking and talking. Multitasking as they call it. Very nifty.
* Chad`Winters looks ahead at Darien. 1"Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Chad
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm surprised you can manage it.
* Chad`Winters motions him to come over
<Xanatos> It's very difficult. *he nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head at Sera. "You come up here if you want to talk."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You must be gifted. 6He wiggles his eyebrows.
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnels begin to go in a little deeper.
<Xanatos> Obviously.
* Junior glances ahead, keeping his head low as he thinks.
* Chad`Winters shrugs then looks at Zephyr. 1"I'll be right back."
* Seraphna doesn't seem to completely hear or notice any of the conversation as she rests.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, walking along with her eyes closed, as if on auto pilot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances at Junior once, then ahead.
* Chad`Winters moves ahead, walking in step with Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes?
* Xanatos rubs his neck slowly, trying to work some of the soreness out of it. "We there yet?"
<Chad`Winters> I've been thinking...
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Granted. On what?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No.
* Junior shakes his head, sighing as he trudges forward and coughing into his hand.
<Chad`Winters> We have an unwatched ship floating a jump away from here...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmmmhm
* Xanatos sighs and looks ahead, finally falling quiet. Listening now to the others.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Unwatched?"
<Chad`Winters> Spade....If I were him, this is the time I would make my move.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can't think about such things in a battle like this one.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the hand briefly, then ahead. She wipes at her own mouth, her skin a shade paler than normal in the dark tunnels.
<Seraphna> <<...He'd bring us back to the ship at least, even if he took it over... no worries for now...>> *she yawns*
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, suddenly 10 Dark Ones can be seen, beating the crap out of Cassandra, and causing damage upon her bionic body
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I won't be able to help."
<Chad`Winters> Trouble...
* Chad`Winters grabs his hilt and ignites it.
<Cassandra`> 6<14Cassandra6> *firing a gun on one that's on her until she runs out of charges, then starts punching it in the face!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It's alright if I just destroy these ones, isn't it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches the air then begins running towards them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You need the souls. Don't be stupid
* Xanatos widens his eyes and breaks into a sprint, running toward Cass, he pulls out his pistol and a beam saber, charging the pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans Sera on the wall, the ignites his sword and dashes forward.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... fine."
* Junior looks ahead, watching the scene unfold. His hand resting on the pommel of his sword, ready to intervene if necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just leans on the wall, not bothering to charge forward.
* Seraphna steps a bit away from the wall, she doesn't like those, and plants herself down to rest, conserving her energy.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones turn as the team charges.
* Xanatos releases a charged shot for the head of one as he comes in.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slashes out, using his left hand for combat now.
* Chad`Winters slashes, aiming to take off one's arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaps up and kicks one into a wall.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *moves forward to slash at Dark Ones*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones throw Cassandra at Xan
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves in past Darien and spin kicks one's legs out and twists around as it falls, slamming both his palms into it's chest
* Xanatos slides to a stop and does he best to catch her, forgetting she probably weighs a lot being all mechanical.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stabs one into a wall.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Starting eat, Kyouki
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *looks at Darien curiously, then eats the Dark One's soul*
<Cassandra`> Offfff!
* Chad`Winters kicks off one and twists, slashing upwards to cut across it's chest
* Xanatos sets Cass down and moves in and slices up at a Dark One.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs one's tendrils and twists his body, throwing the Dark One into the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens her eyes, watching the fight
<Cassandra`> ...anyone...got a spare set of limbs...I think mine are a bit stiff...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ducks a few punches.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sure. Take Xan's.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Ask Xan. I'm sure he can donate a few."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stabs another Dark One.
<DeathStar> 6* A Dark One runs in behind Darien, aiming to impale him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey crazy lady, start..sucking these things.
<Xanatos> Give me a minute. *he twists around a tendril and slashes out, pulling up his pistol to fire at the Dark One running in behind Darien.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slams into the ground as one tackles him.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *destroys the impaler* "I think I know what I'm doing."
<DeathStar> 6* The shots don't phase it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances behind him as Kyouki destroys it.
<Xanatos> I need a strong gun. *he says with a sigh*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stabs another multiple times in the chest.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Get. Weak. Now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Or you need a better shot. 6He kicks the one on him towards Xanatos
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *eats the weakened Dark Ones*
<DeathStar> 6* Two Dark Ones remain.
* Xanatos slides forward and stabs at the back of the Dark One dias sent his way. "Probably."
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her forehead as the others fight.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Woo! Go team! 6She shouts tiredly.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining Dark One flees.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What's wrong?"
<Seraphna> <<Are... we there yet...?>>
* Seraphna smiles weakly
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *destroys the fleeing Dark One*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah! RUN AWAY YOU COWARD!
<DeathStar> <Darien> He didn't get far.
* Xanatos takes a deep breath. "You're tellin me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well that totally messed up my line...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Kyouki, knowing she's stronger than any of them now.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Too bad. Should've said it sooner."
* Chad`Winters looks at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Kyouki. "You should have let him go."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Aren't we trying to destroy them?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He was fleeing.
<Cassandra`> ...sir...I'm out of ammo and suffering serious damage...
<Xanatos> We need to continue. *he moves over to help Sera up*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Aren't we all. 6Holds up his busted right arm.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "He'd have come back with more."
<Cassandra`> They captured Myria...
<Chad`Winters> I'm fine. 6He shrugs as he walks past Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a tendril launches out toward Xan while he helps Sera up with enough speed and strength it cannot be stopped.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "They're not going to just start being nice because we won."
* Seraphna blinks weakly, eyes widening.
<DeathStar> 6* ALmost there...
* Xanatos finally realizes it is coming, his eyes widen. "Fuck."
* Chad`Winters moves over to Zephyr, his eyes widen as the tendril goes towards Xan. 6He ignites his blade and hurls it at the tendril, aiming to drive it's landing point off.
* Seraphna attempts to yank him out of it's path.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril hits a new target!
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's arm!
* Cassandra` gets back on to her feet.
* Seraphna cries out in pain and falls down, slicing it away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Holy...
<Seraphna> *It's a mute, odd sound, but it sounds like pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks in utter shock at Sera reisking he rlife.
* Chad`Winters stares at Serena, a look of shock on his face.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Sera..." He falls down with her, moving to apply pressure to her arm. "I need a bandage!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides over. "Sera?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Holy crap!
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *tries to destroy whatever sent the tendril*
<DeathStar> 6* Kyouki blows up the wall
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Sera, are you alright?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr, checking to see if she registered this
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She....
<Xanatos> Give me your shirt or something! *he demands to Darien*
* Seraphna falls to her knees, panting in pain, she gasps, loking at her arm, <<J-Just... need to rest...>>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rips it off his useless arm.
<Chad`Winters> Obvioulsy she's delusional from exhaustion.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *to Zephyr* "Risked her life for someone she cares about. I know."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... be quiet Chad.
* Cassandra` moves over and pulls out a mini emergency kit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just hangs her head a bit and walks on.
<Cassandra`> Not much, but its some. *holds it out*
<Seraphna> <<G-God that hurt...>>
* Xanatos takes it and the kit from Cass. "Thanks." He moves to quickly try and get her patched up.
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr then looks at Serena, narrowing his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> <<Just focus on my thoughts.>>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Sera and Xan, thoughtfully. She glances away.
<Seraphna> <<I-I'll be alright... I just need to sleep...>>
<Xanatos> Oh my god...is she saying anything? *His hands are covered in her blood as he works to stop the bleeding*
<Seraphna> *The bleeding stops slowly.
* Chad`Winters moves over, and picks up his blade. He just shakes his head at Serena and turns, moving to catch up with Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Darien> <<Stay awake. At least until we get the bleeding under control.>>
* Junior catches up to the others, taking in the scene.
<Seraphna> <<My body will handle it... I'm just... g-gonna be useless... I'm sorry...>>
<DeathStar> <Darien> <<We'll handle the rest.>>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her face as she walks along.
* Seraphna smiles weakly to Xan, trying to let him know it's okay.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She'll be okay.
* Xanatos works to bandage the wound up. He smiles to Sera. "Yeah...you'll be ok...Thank you."
* Chad`Winters moves up behind Zephyr and places his hand on her left shoulder.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *goes to catch up with Zephyr* "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tired. Just tried.
<Seraphna> <<N-No prob...>>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *nods quietly*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes Sera's pistol, then holds it over to Cass.
<Xanatos> C..can you walk, or do I need to carry you?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches his head, obviously confused at this careless act of love. 1"Wierd..." 6He turns to move after the others.
* Seraphna tries to stand.
* Xanatos moves with her to help her put most of her weight on him.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Here. Use this gun.
* Seraphna is remarkably light, but she leans on him.
* Cassandra` takes the gun.
<Cassandra`> This will hold me over.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves onward, holding her stomach
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves onwards too*
<DeathStar> 6* As they team moves further, the air gets thicker, as if a weight is pressing on them. It tastes stale. Evil is here.
* Xanatos moves to walk ahead with her, taking it easy at first, slowly gauging how fast she can withstand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances up tensely.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "This is good. Almost there."
* Seraphna winces a bit, but soon walks at a steady pace.
* Chad`Winters glances around. 1"We're getting close..." He looks over at Erevis. 1"How are you holding up, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Let us focus on the task at hand.
<Xanatos> Not good. Like most everyone else. *he says to Chad as they come up*
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head at Erevis and only grunts in response to Xanatos
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Must be hard for you to handle."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up beside Kyouki. "Hard?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You're having trouble fighting them."
* Junior moves along, watching the conversations and thinking to himself, still.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that what we're having?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh, so you're telling me it's easy? That you can handle everything on your own?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves his hands behind his head again. 1"Hard? HAH! These guys are easy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Interesting. I thought you were doing this for Erevis. Going to back out now?
<Xanatos> Wow. Seems the power is going to your head Kyo.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Well I'm certainly not doing it for you."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then focus on your agenda.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes briefly as he focuses on Darien and Kyouki's conversation
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances ahead. Kyouki's face is covered in dark veins and her eyes seem to be going black
* Junior eyes Kyouki as she speaks. Stepping lightly over the ground as they move.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *smirks a little at some thought, before looking away from Darien*
<Cassandra`> *w* Kyouki seems to be...going weird...
* Ariel has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Chad`Winters> Our time is running out...6He mutters to Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The air gets thicker and up ahead a dark barrier blocks htem.
* Xanatos glances at Cass and nods with a frown, stepping forward with Sera. He slows to a stop at the barrier. "This seems fun."
<Cassandra`> ...any ideas?
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr reaches out to touch it
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves up the barrier, trying to break it*
* Chad`Winters grabs Zephyr's hand, stopping it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"We don't know what will happen."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *drains the barrier*
<DeathStar> 6* The darkness suddenly twirls and drives right into Kyouki's body.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back, not letting the darkness touch her.
* Xanatos shifts back with Sera some as well. "Jesus this isn't good."
<Chad`Winters> Dias stops abruptly. 1"What in the hell."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This must be why we need the rune.
<Junior> Oh, lovely. *shakes his head*
* Chad`Winters slides back, pullling Zephyr with him.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr stumbles into Chad.
<Ariel> "...there must have been another way."
<DeathStar> 6* Kyouki's eyes go completely black and her hair turns white. The armor seems to shift, as if it were alive now.
* Xanatos stares at Kyouki, his face in a frown. "You still in there, Kyo?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She tenses as she reads Kyouki's mind.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at Kyouki.
* Junior glances to Erevis, then back to Kyouki.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... I... think so..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Did something just happen?
* Ariel looks to Erebis worriedly
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Darien, come over here a moment?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll pass.
* Cassandra` readies her gun...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What happened to the mission? Are you backing out now?"
<Chad`Winters> The barrier's down. We should continue.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something tells me we should just move on.
<Xanatos> Best damn plan i've heard all day. *he begins to mvoe forward with Sera*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there, a hand behind her back.
* Junior says nothing, trodding ahead.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. We should go on, Kyouki.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... of course."
* Chad`Winters keeps his eyes on Kyouki
<Cassandra`> Let's move out then.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *starts onwards*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lets out a breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Kyouki pass her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches her, then shuffles forward.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just shrugs and walks alongside Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks onward.
* Seraphna moves with Xan, not all there right now.
* Cassandra` moves forward...
* Ariel moves on cautiously
* Chad`Winters starts moving again, helping Zephyr walk.
<DeathStar> 6* As they pass through the barrier and into another room, they reach an area where there is no more cave, but entirely organic. The walls throb, and the height expands all the way to the dark sky.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *quietly, calmly, but with a hint of pain to her voice* "... to destroy the enemy... whatever the cost..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up at the long, long distance to the surface.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6She glances around.
<Junior> Well, there's one way out.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *whistles*
* Xanatos moves his eyes upward. "Damn. Can anyone fly?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Quick check...Can anyone fly?
<DeathStar> <Daien> If we can jump 3 miles.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, glaring at Xanatos.
* Xanatos blinks and glances at Dias. "Wow, I feel stupid."
* Junior says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a little girl holding a teddy bear stands there in the middle. "You should not be here."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, then relaxes.
* Seraphna blinks, pretty sure she's delirious now.
<Ariel> "......"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..."
* Chad`Winters tilts his head, studying the little girl
* Xanatos eyes the girl and takes a few steps back. "...W...where'd that kid come from??"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "The ultimate evil is a 4 year old?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <I'm imitating mother?>
<Seraphna> <<Didn't give me any drugs did you...?>>
<Seraphna> <Buh...?>
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <Oh, nothing.>
<Cassandra`> Well...kids can be pretty evil when they get spoiled...
<DeathStar> <Girl> Go away now!
<Chad`Winters> Who are you and what are you doing here?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "How about no?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> I live here. 6She pats her bear, eyeing Chad.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Too bad."
<Chad`Winters> With the Dark Ones?
<DeathStar> <Girl> You're evil. 6She speaks of Kyouki, with no negative tones.
<Xanatos> Smart kid.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "So I hear."
<DeathStar> <Girl> You enjoy it.
<Ariel> "Who are you?"
* Junior looks at the little girl. "How trite. A little human girl form on a decidedly non-human world." he narrows his eyes, as if assuming the girl is either an illusion or at the very least, not it's true form.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Is that a problem?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seems to have a grim look as well. His energy sword is in his and
<DeathStar> <Girl> Nope. 6She glances at Ariel, swaying back and forth
* Ariel looks like she expects an answer.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl sticks out a tongue.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches the back of his head. 1"What's the hol...d..up?"6He looks at the girl. 1"What the hell is this runt doing here?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You should answer. I want to know too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> <Girl> No. 6She pets her bear.
<Xanatos> Uh...please let us pass?? *he tilts his head*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Wow, Dias. I had no idea you were so much smarter than Xan."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl eyes Xan. "You're dumb."
<Xanatos> And?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wow, she's psychic.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around. 1"Why the hell are we wasting our time on his kid? We have evil to kill."
<Junior> Unless this apparition has something to offer, we should move on.
<Chad`Winters> Or she just has a talent at picking people.
<Xanatos> I dunno, Dias. Why don't you go kick her ass outta the way?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions with his good hand for Dias to go on.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and looks around for the exit.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "If we're through wasting time..."
<DeathStar> 6* There's ...none?
<Cassandra`> Question on my mind is what's really going on...
* Junior looks up at the sky.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to walk past the girl.
* Junior looks back to the girl. "How do we get to the surface from here?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> *ignores Junior*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey, there's no exit...Hey kid, where's the exit?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> Go back the way you came. 6She orders Dias plainly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like hell! I came here to kick some Dark One head guy ass!
* Junior bites his thumb at the decidedly unamicable form. He folds his arms, pondering.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think this kid needs a spanking.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I think I'll just kill her."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl perks up. "Oh?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Kyouki then the kids reaction. He grabs Zephyr, moving back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kyouki....
<DeathStar> 6* The girl turns to face Kyouki, holding her bear.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What?"
<Cassandra`> There's a game being played here, I think...
* Xanatos watches Kyouki and the girl closely. "...she's just a girl, Kyo." He shifts back with Sera, just like Chad did with Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is dangerous.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Really. Just a girl. The fact that she just happens to be on the Dark One's planet means nothing."
<Cassandra`> ..what do you sense?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, little girl, where's the leader of the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Nothing. She blocks my thoughts.
<DeathStar> <Girl> *pets her bear* That's a secret.
* Junior shakes his head, glancing around.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Tell me, or I'll kill you."
<Xanatos> ...Wait a minute. You guys don't really think she is a dark one!? She's just a little kid.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias furrows his brow, leaning over to look at the girl square in the eyes
<DeathStar> <Girl> No. 6She holds down her eyelid at Kyouki and sticks out her otngue
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Xanatos, are you a complete idiot?"
<Seraphna> <<Wonder what the kid's name is...>>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll give you a sucker if you tell me where the bad guy is."
<DeathStar> <Girl> You're a sucker, you dork.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, you're the sucker you....diaper rash.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Come say that to my face.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Ultimate Evil...little kid..." he just rubs his face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over. 1"Diaper Rash face!"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl smiles coldly, then smacks Dias with her bear, throwing him into a wall.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Dork.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slams against the wall then into the floor.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You know what. I'm going to now."
<Seraphna> <<Reminds me of Aya...>>
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *lashes out at the girl*
<DeathStar> 6* The girl is hit, then cries.
* Chad`Winters eyes Dias not moving. 1"...She just knocked Dias out..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think this is it, ladies and gents.
<Cassandra`> This is probably a psychological tactic...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Going to answer now, or do I have to do that again?"
* Junior draws his sword. "Seems like it's that time, again."
<Xanatos> This is unbelievable.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But she's crying.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> <Girl> You're so perfect, Kyouki. We're so proud.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl sniffs, wiping at her tears, then beams like she got a present.
<Chad`Winters> It probably chose something that they felt would make it difficult for us to fight.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *seems almost stunned by that comment*
<DeathStar> <Girl> Now you'll be our new leader. If you survive. 6She loses the smile, then tosses out the bar.
* Xanatos makes a face. "...this is ridiculous."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Better." *grins, lashing out again*
<DeathStar> 6* The bear hits the ground, then it begins to shake and a large creature begins to emerge from the bear. Tendrils slither out of the walls, smacking Kyouki back
<DeathStar> 6* The large creature looks like a mutated Dark Giant and Desasus
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, then watches the wall transform as more tendrils whip out. One tendril emerges, holding on tightly to Myria, using her to drain powers.

<DeathStar> 6* Rock shoots up and blocks Hotaru
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's the Earth Rune.
<DeathStar> 6* A tendril lashes down and grabs ARiel's Rune Blade, yanking it away.
* Junior spins his sword, glancing to Erevis once, and realizes how beaten-up everyone is. He leaps back to avoid the punch. He recoils forward and runs up the arm of the large creature, dragging the razor-sharp tip of his sword along the arm of it as he rushes for it's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna frees MYria.
<Ariel> "...it can use runes as well?"
* Ariel tries to keep a tight grip on her blade, and stab the tendril with a plasma blade.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria drops down!
<DeathStar> 6* The creature blasts Ariel with dark energy.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *lashes out again, violently, trying to detect the runes as she does*
<DeathStar> 6* The creature turns to face Junior, then roars, knocking him into a wall with the voice alone.
* Cassandra` fires at the giant monstrosity with Sera's gun while staying on the move.
* Xanatos backs towards the exit with Sera, sitting her down on the ground. "Just take it easy." He tells her, before sliding up to face the bear monster thing. He pulls out his pistol and a beam saber, eyeing the creature's strength.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides along, slashing out at the creature's body
* Chad`Winters ignites his blade and moves in towards the creatures body.

<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils wrap around Junior

<Junior> Shit!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias dashes towards Junior and grabs a tendril, trying to pry it off
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens fire at the creature's face.
* Ariel is hit by the blast, since she can't exactly pull away with the blade still held there, and is knocked aside.
<Cassandra`> 4<2Miko Takachihi4>2 *scrambles to her feet, putting distance between the creature and herself.
* Junior grits his teeth, struggling against them as Dias aids him.
* Xanatos eyes the tendril and aims his gun at the tendril, trying to shoot it off.

* Chad`Winters kicks off the ground and by the creatures body, slashing at it
<DeathStar> 6* The creature removes the runes from the blade, absorbs them, then tosses her the blade back.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *keeps moving, looking for a gap in the creatures defences, then slices at the tendril holding Xan*
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils wrap around Kyouki

<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should be more careful old man.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyouki shatters them.
* Xanatos widens his eye. "It took me Wind rune!"
* Ariel catches the blade, looking annoyed as she stands. She just lost three runes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Which ones do we have left?!
<Xanatos> ...Holy and Dark.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils snatch Sera up, robbing her of her Rune.
* Junior is glad to have helped himself free... himself. He looks to Dias. "And you---well, do you like flying?" he glances back at the beast with narrowed eyes, looking back at him suggestively.
<Cassandra`> Do we have any heavy firepower?!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya damn right I do!
* Seraphna blinks and gasps weakly, struggling back, <<G-Got my rune...>>
* Chad`Winters twists around slashing again at the creatures body
<DeathStar> 6* The creature unleashes a Wind attack at Chad.
* Xanatos runs over to Sera and does his best to get the tendrils off of her.
* Junior nods, kneeling to take hold of Dias's feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Water whips out at Xan.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Junior oddly and gives him his feet.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *lashes out at the creature again, keeping moving, trying to sense attacks before they're used*
* Chad`Winters slams backwards, rolling from the wind attack
* Xanatos ducks and then jumps back, slashing out at the water to keep it from hitting him. "Damnit."
<DeathStar> 6* The creature throws lightning down at Kyouki
<Junior> Make this count--and this time, at least you're the one hitting them!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaps back to Ariel
<DeathStar> <Darien> You think Erevis can pilot you in mech form?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah make it count...wait....what?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *moves out of the way of the lightning as best she can*
<DeathStar> 6* A tendril slams Zephyr into a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyouki avoids it easily.

* Xanatos moves back in again to try and free Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature howls.
* Junior lifts Dias up, hurling him as hard as he can at the creature's head. He chases after him, slashing at the beast's ankles.
<Cassandra`> Its not even noticing what I throw at it!
* Chad`Winters shuts it blade down and hooks it on his belt. He flicks his wrists, small flames flickering off it hands.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then get in it's face, Css. Run up the arms.
* Seraphna slashes free, forming a sword with her good hand.
<Ariel> "...there should be room here."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis coughs into her hand.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria moves over to Sera.

<Cassandra`> Roger that! *dashes toward the creature and then leaps up on to one of its arms*
<Xanatos> Myria. Protect Sera. *he orders, then turning he runs in at the creature, pulling the beam saber back to slash at it's body.

<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra reaches the head!
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......" *sighs* "...just give me the damn rune."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans as he struggles to get up. He puts the rune on his hand.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Guess so."
* Xanatos catches it and attaches it to his arm. He jumps back and uses the rune to infuse into pistol and shoot a wind shot towards it's stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature writes from the wind sot.
* Junior spins his sword, having already given it to Xan... "You guys can argue over it. He was closest."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides up to Junior. "Want to try an X-Strike?"

<Alicia> <Kyouki> *starts to at the creature's soul*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bad mysterious girl!
<DeathStar> 6* The creature howls as it's soul is eaten, then it falls over.
<Cassandra`> Sir...this thing...may be the tipping point...this may be a trap to subvert Kyouki...
<Xanatos> ...*he just groans*
* Junior lands on the ground, the organic material freezing as his feet rest on it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dammit! YOu're right.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She just ate the mother of all darkness.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *lashes out at Darien* "Die please~."
* Ariel does her best to support Erevis... even if it doesn't benefit her to stay in this form, she could keep Erevis safe.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is hit and slams into the wall.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Se what you did now! Now we gotta beat up Kyouki!"

<Ariel> Setsuna> *does as Dias does*
* Junior blocks with his armor and sword, "Kyouki, get a hold of yourself!"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl whimpers.
* Seraphna stands unsteadily, <<Darien...?>>
* Cassandra` moves over to make sure Darien is alright!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien coughs up blood.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Setsuna and then nods.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I could let you live... but Darien's going to die, either way."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...can we just kill her? She's obviously on their side?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws her energy whip aorund Kyouki. "Down girl."
<Chad`Winters> Kyouki, is this how you plan on protecting Erevis?
<Ariel> Em> << Hotaru... what do we do? >>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But she's a little girl....What about time-out?
<Junior> Live or die, you don't know the first thing of it all. *narrows his eyes* Evil or not, you're still a spoiled child with a new toy.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> << ... do we have a choice? >>
* Xanatos pulls out three discs. "Stop reasoning with her and just kill her already."
* Junior sheathes his sword, looking back at the little girl.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis breaks the dragoon form and hits the ground with a wince.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kyouki...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Spank her. 6He motions to Setsuna
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Oh, I won't kill you."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl hugs herself and sits there.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to try to hold Kyouki
<Chad`Winters> And what about your other goal, to stop Wind.
* Seraphna stumbles over to Darien, she breathes hard, <<You're gonna live through this hear...? You've got Wind to fight still...>>
* Ariel let's the form break, depite her better judgement.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strains to stand.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "That never stopped. I'm still going to kill him."
<Junior> Darien, don't strain yourself.
<Xanatos> Then go get to it already. Before you lose power.
* Junior takes a deep breath, shaking his head as he grimaces.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *sounding annoyed* "You're on his side?"
* Seraphna helps him up.
<Chad`Winters> Killing all of us won't do you any good.
<Cassandra`> Sir...you aren't doing anyone any favors by working yourself to death. We need a plan.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Either we fight her to the bloody death, or we try to reason.
<Seraphna> <<We're Dragoon and Pilot... I-I'll be damned if we don't carry each other through this.>>
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I can take your power, so it will. I also want to."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to stand, holding her wounds. "Kyouki! Stop this1"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> ".. why?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It. Is. Not. What. You. Want.
<Chad`Winters> Is this how you treat your friends Kyouki? Use them?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I think it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her whip hold on Kyouki
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *looks to Chad* "Hypocrite." *lashes out at him*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's whip snaps as Kyouki lashes out
* Xanatos sighs. "Pathetic."
* Chad`Winters throws his hands up, sliding back. 1"I understand what you're going through more than anyone else. I know what it's like to fight that dark desire inside you."
* Junior walks over to Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<Cassandra`> Looks like they are trying to reason right now...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... oh, of course, you know EXACTLY what it's like to be nothing."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and bops the little girls head again
<DeathStar> 6* The girl whimpers again.
* Junior kneels next to him, shaking his head. "I'm sorry it's all come to this."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you're enjoying that too much."
<Chad`Winters> You think your nothing? Pilot would say otherwise.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well yeah...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. I don't think we can save her.
<Ariel> "...you have never been nothing, Kyouki. You're the only one that has ever thought that."
<Cassandra`> ...so have a plan then?
<Junior> If we neutralize her, Wind will come looking for the rune.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She'll just become the new Dark Leader if we don't. Hell, she might be doing so as we speak.
* Junior nods. "It's your call. I've interfered so much already."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Try it? I'm sure you'd love it
<Ariel> "What are you trying to achieve?"
<Cassandra`> What if we managed to seperate her from the rune?
<DeathStar> * The girl hugs her knees.
* Seraphna retrieves the rune real quick, putting it back on, before reutnign to support Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's inside her.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm getting rid of everyone who'd hurt me."
<Seraphna> <<Destroy her, destroy the rune? Is that the only way?>>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm about to hurt you if you don't stand down girl.
<Junior> Is it that easy to destroy a rune?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not sure.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Then I'll have to get rid of you too."
<Ariel> "Why?"
<Chad`Winters> None of us have ever wanted to hurt you Kyouki, we'd all give our lives if it meant to save you
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *laughs* "And I'm supposed to believe that?"
* Junior folds his arms, thinking.
<Chad`Winters> Yes.
* Xanatos doesn't make any movement, allowing himself to regain some energy as he stands there. He stares at Kyouki, still holding those discs in his hand. "Read our minds you moron. You'll see it's true."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *goes to slam Xan into a wall* "Don't call me that."
* Ariel steps in the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out at Kyouki. "Lights out."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is hit instead
* Xanatos is slammed into the wall, he coughs up some blood. "Stop acting like one!"
<Seraphna> <<So this is what power does... good intentions turned into paranoia and greed...>>
* Junior stands, looking to the unfolding 'fight'.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *lashes out at Cheryl, then moves to destroy Xan* "So hypocritical... you who'd kill Erevis and claim to love her."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine. 6He bops the little girl again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheyl is kncked back.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl whimpers.
* Chad`Winters flicks a blade into his wrist and he hurls a blade at Kyouki's hand
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *moves to attack the girl*
<DeathStar> 6* The girl just sits there, hugging her knees.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *catches the blade in mid-air, flinging it back at Chad*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> This is going to get a lot worse.
* Chad`Winters twists letting the blade sling by.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *sends tendrils at everyone*
* Xanatos attempts to avoid the tendril.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien twists to avoid. Cheryl and Zephyr spin away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks then dives, shoving the little girl and Setsuna out of the way
* Seraphna moves with Darien, avoiding.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *moves to avoid the tendrils herself*
* Junior grabs the tendril with his ice covered hand, jumping to the side.
* Chad`Winters grimaces as the tendril nails him.
* Cassandra` dodges!
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria leaps aside!
<Seraphna> .oO(C-Can't she see what she's doing!)
* Xanatos breathes heavily eyeing Kyo. "Yeah. I killed Erevis, that's why she is right there."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <<I'm not sure I can do this.>>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Because you failed. Because you're a failure."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien activates his sword. "KYOUKI!"
<Ariel> "Kyouki, STOP!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You want your revenge, take it out on me!
* Chad`Winters falls to one knee, grabbing the wound.
<Xanatos> Right. I want her dead, you've got me. You've really figured me out. I'm so glad you're here to show me the truth.
* Ariel looks to Darien, with an 'I won't let you do that' look.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up slowly, eyeing the little girl and Setsuna. 1"You two ok?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *looks to Darien, and concentrates her attacks on him* "Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaps to the side
<DeathStar> 6* The girl nods, stunned at Dias saving her
* Seraphna dives away as well.
* Xanatos slams his arm forward, launching all three discs at Kyouki's back as she turns to focus on Darien.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *continues to attack Darien with everything she's got, ignoring the others*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *is surprised too*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You keep missing me! 6He ducks another attack.
<Cassandra`> Help the wounded!
* Seraphna moves, blockig some attacks for Darien, using her coordination to deflect tendrils for him.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "..." *keeps attacking, over and over, blinded by rage*
<DeathStar> 6* The discs hit Kyouki, knocking her forward and cracking her armor.
* Chad`Winters flicks another small blade into his hand, he holds his hand back, studying then hurls it, aiming for a pressure point in Kyouki's neck.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like a poor marksman, you keep hitting everyone but your target, KYouki
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "SHUT UP! I'M BETTER THAN YOU ARE!" *continues, launching attack after attack*
* Xanatos pulls up his pistols, charging them both up.
* Seraphna pants hard, shaking softly, eyes unfocused.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is finally hit, slamming into the wall.
* Seraphna slices the tendril on Darien and rushes over to him.
<Seraphna> <<D-Darien?>>
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like hell you are...
* Ariel moves in to make sure no other attacks hit Darien at that point. She holds her blade before her.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> <<Em...>> *pauses, aiming at the little girl, unable to fire*
* Xanatos releases both of the charged blasts, one for the back of Kyouki's head, the other for the back of her left leg.
* Junior folds his arms, not interfering.
<Ariel> Em> <<......>>
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *keeps attacking, aiming to finish Darien off*
* Seraphna blocks attacks with Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly grabs Kyouki into a bear hug, so Kyouki has to hit her if she wants to do so. "Enough."
* Ariel attempts to deflect the attacks, but would rather get hit than let Darien do so
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... get off. Get off me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes and flicks his wrists, two small flames appearing around his hands.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm going to kill Darien, and I'm not letting you stop me!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you have to kill me first. 6She notes, not letting go
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Erevis...
<Xanatos> Erevis. Don't.
* Xanatos stumbles forward now.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *attempts to remove Erevis by force, holding back enough to not kill her, thoughy*
* Chad`Winters begins circling around to Kyouki's backside.
<Ariel> "...I won't let you kill Darien, Kyouki."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis fights her, using her energyies to hold on.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "WHY?!"
* Junior watches Erevis and Kyouki intently, glancing around, knowing now isn't the time for this sort of spat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl circles with Chad, not willing to attack with Erevis on.
* Ariel answers flatly, "Because it's wrong."
* Seraphna stares at Kyo, her intent the same as Ariel's.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are good, Kyouki. I know it.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Didn't you say it was fine to use bad methods to win?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Darien isn't your enemy.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... he's been protecting Wind..."
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *snorts*
* Chad`Winters stops about 14 feet away from Kyouki, shifting into his stance.
<Xanatos> Darien hates Wind.
<Seraphna> <<She's gone insane...>>
* Ariel just stares at THAT comment. It took her off guard.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. He hasn't. 6She leans back enoug hto look at Kyouki's face. "I was working with Wind, not him."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did it for all of you.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... he can't be trusted..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Maybe. But we aren't your enemy.
<DeathStar> 6* The little girl watches the talk.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks to the girl* "Interesting show, isn't it?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "..."
<DeathStar> <Girl> She isn't your friend anymore.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Did I say you could talk? 6He bops her on the head again
<DeathStar> 6* The girl whimpers.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm going to kill Wind, one way or another. Don't get in my way."
* Cassandra` moves up next to Setsuna...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I cannot let you do that. He would kill you
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets to his feet.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "One way or another, I will."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind steps into the room. "Is that right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Cheryl turn.
* Chad`Winters takes ina deep breath.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... yes, it is."
* Seraphna helps Darien stand, shaking a bit herself, exhausted.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Erevis. Let her attack me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Wind. "Do not do this."
* Junior turns to Wind, narrowing his eyes.
* Xanatos just closes his eyes. "...."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind adjusts his suit, casually.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Great...that guy's here.
* Ariel looks at Wind, trying to judge his intentions
<DeathStar> <Girl> ...
<Cassandra`> <Myria> ...what's going to happen now...?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at the girl. 1"You can say something about him atleast."
<DeathStar> <Girl> *eyes Dias suspiciously*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...So you gotta name?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *pushes Erevis out of the way, and lashes out at Wind*
<Xanatos> ...can we go home now?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hits the ground with a grunt
* Ariel goes to help Erevis up
<DeathStar> 6* Wind vanishes and appears behind Kyouki, his hand hyperspace. He slams it right into her stomach.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Damnit."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind yanks out something and Kyouki's armor vanish, her hair returns to normal, and her eyes do as well
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind holds the Dark Rune, and it shatters.
<Chad`Winters> The Dark Rune.,...
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *shudders*
<Cassandra`> Well..is it over now...?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs Kyouki before she can fall.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...THAT was unexpected."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *eyes Wind hatefully, but doesn't attack*
<Seraphna> <<We killed thier leader... and now the new leader has been dethroned... and the rune is gone...>>
* Junior folds his arms, glancing to Erevis and back to Wind.
<DeathStar> <Wind> She's freed.
<Seraphna> <<Did we... win...?>>
* Xanatos steps forward and kneels down beside Erevis and Kyouki. "Is she ok?" he glances down at Kyo's wound.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HAH! 6He laughs right in the girls face. 1"So much for you big bad Dark Ones!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know... 6She eyes Kyouki's damaged insides. "I do not know..."
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... am I supposed to thank you or something?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> I really don't care either way.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl eyes Dias
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "... you never did, did you?"
<Cassandra`> <Myria> But...ummm...who is she then? *points at the girl*
<DeathStar> <Wind> You're evil, Kyouki. With or without that rune. So no.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Neener neener! 6He sticks his tongue out at her.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> *looks to Erevis* "... I'm sorry that... I lost control."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is alright.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "It's over now, at least."
* Xanatos frowns and glances up at Wind, then he looks towards Darien. "Please tell me we can go home now."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at the little girl* "So what are you going to do now?"
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Thankyou..." *collapses*
* Chad`Winters let's out a deep breathe, the flames flickering off.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl watches Wind, almost fearfully.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Can I keep her as a pet?
* Junior walks over to Erevis and Kyouki. "We all have our darkside, but that doesn't make use evil incarnate." he glances to Wind.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a deep breath, then lays Kyouki down
<DeathStar> <Wind> It's time. Come with me now, Erevis.
* Ariel looks to Erevis.
* Xanatos eyes Kyouki, then jerks his head up to Wind. "What!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands slowly. She hands Junior back his weapon.
<Xanatos> Erevis. What is going on?
* Junior holds up his hand, rejecting it.
* Chad`Winters looks at Wind then Erevis. 1"Part of your deal..."
<Junior> Just bring it back later.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Ariel> "...your new world, Wind?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes. I leave you all to yours.
<Xanatos> You're taking Erevis from us?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes. I'll need her.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "...Erevis..."
* Junior looks back to Wind, brushing a bit of hair from his eyes.
<Seraphna> <<Ere...>>
<DeathStar> 6* Wind watches Junior like a hawk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But you'll have to feed her Setsuna.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Ariel looks to Darien, then Erevis.
* Junior smiles coyly to him. "Well, looks like you're off, then?"
<Seraphna> <<Did Ariel know...?>>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Ariel, then steps up. "I'm afraid I canot let the deal go through."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Erevis than Wind, then Erevis. 1"You can't go with that prick, Erevis!"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...do I look like I know how to take care of kids? Especially evil demon ones?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> .... DS....
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm afraid her family is here. They love her too much. And if I stood idlely by while you took her, just so we can save our own skins, then we'd be as evil as you claim we to be
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Darien. He will kill you. 6She warns him.
* Chad`Winters eyes Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe. But you're needed here. I was wrong about you, ERevis. I let my own prejudices get in the way. But the fact is they need you.
<Junior> You all speak too highly of death.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Says the man dying.
* Seraphna watches Wind warily.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Junior. Erevis. Step back. I'm going to challenge Wind to a duel for Erevis.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Life is too precious to just be thrown away..."
<Junior> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is he nuts?
<Ariel> "...Darien?"
<Junior> As you will, Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If I win, Erevis is free. And you leave.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And If I win?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I tell you where Centerpoint is. You won't need Erevis then
<Chad`Winters> He's determined.
<Xanatos> ...*he reaches out to grab Erevis and pulls her back away from Wind*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Counterpoint? What is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles back
<DeathStar> <Wind> You know where it is?
* Chad`Winters mouths the worlds silently.
<Ariel> Em> "That was Centerpoint, Hotaru."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Sorry, yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. A man of two worlds, I found it. Beat me, and its yours.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just scratches his head. 1"Center-whatzit?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *glances to creepygirl* "You ever hear of this centerpoint?"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl eyes Setsuna.
* Ariel steps up to Darien's side. She does her best to heal his wounds before he attempts this insanity... She doesn't want to loose anyone today.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6Narrows her eyes. She knwos something.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Done. This will be over quickly.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> I'm confused...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Everyone... this fight is going to be awesome. So I need you to go back into the caverns.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Need my space.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel, a half-smile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Awesome?! I have tos ee this then!
<DeathStar> <Darien> From the caverns, then.
* Xanatos motions for Sera to come to him, as he moves Erevis back to the caverns.
<Junior> ... Too awesome for us to watch.
<Junior> Let's go, everyone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> SCORE! 6He grabs the little girl by the collar and drags her out.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *lands and detransforms, anyway*
<DeathStar> 6* The girl blinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Zephyr step into the cavern.
* Chad`Winters moves after Cheryl and Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Darien.
* Seraphna starts ushering everyone into the cavern.
* Ariel gives Darien a worried nod, and looks to Erevis
* Chad`Winters stands at the tunnel edge, watching gleefuly
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives a lopsided smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the cavern. She holds her wounds in pain, and anger.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads into the cavern with Em, wishing she had clothes*
<Xanatos> Just take it easy. *he tells Erevis gently, kneeling down to sit, since he is also wounded as well*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She leans in toward Junior whispering.
* Ariel bites her lip, and heads out after the others.
* Junior looks to her.
* Seraphna ushers everyone back still, she even tugs CHad a little bit back from the edge.
* Junior responds to her in kind.
* Chad`Winters shrugs off Serena leaning against a wall as he watches through the opening, his eyes studying
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria retreats.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien activates his energy sword.
* Cassandra` pulls back to the caverns as per orders.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Going to use your weapon? <Wind> No need.
* Xanatos watches Darien closely.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pumps his fist into the air. 1"GO DARIEN!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up sword, licking his lips.
<DeathStar> <Wind> We begin.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to swing, when suddenly Wind is holding his arm. He suddenly breaks it in two, yanking out the bone and stabbing him in the gut
<DeathStar> 6* Serena's comm. beeps. "Tom Pilot here. We're in orbit. We go as planned?"
<Seraphna> "...yes.>
<Seraphna> "
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly blinks. 1"Eeewww."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien yells out in pain, howling. <Wind> Surrender. <Darien> Fuck .... you...
* Xanatos stares at Darien's arm in his chest. "...thought this was going to be awesome..."
<DeathStar> <Tom PIlot on Comm> Firing.
* Junior closes his eyes, taking something out of his pocket as the carnage ensues.
<DeathStar> 6* cheryl eyes Sera's comm. "The hell?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien gives a bloody grin as the dark sky lights up
* Chad`Winters looks at Sera than at Darien. 1"EVERYONE BACK!
* Xanatos eyes Sera. "Firing!?"
* Seraphna grabs some people and flings them away
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks then grabs the girl running furtheri ntot he tunnel
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides back.
<Xanatos> Oh fuck me. *He slides back, shielding his eyes*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind looks up as a giant beam blast comes down.
<DeathStar> 6* The blast impacts, blinding everyone. Dust and wind shoots through the tunnel.
<Seraphna> "...And the second order... NOW!"
<Cassandra`> <Myria> EEEEEEEEEEE!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shields her face.
<Cassandra`> Hang on!
* Ariel looks to be in shock
* Chad`Winters shields his face with his hand, trying to see into the cavern.
* Junior fiddles with his cane, eyes flaring.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is blown over
<DeathStar> 6* the girl holds onto Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias covers the little girl with his back
<DeathStar> 6* The wind dies down and the dust begins to settle
* Junior vanishes as the dust clouds overtake them.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands there, hyperspace cackling over the place. He howls in anger and pain.
* Xanatos coughs and blinks, staring at Wind. "Please tell me that he is dying?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. He's angry.
<Junior> You made a mistake, Wind.
<Xanatos> Oh great...way to piss him off guys.
<Cassandra`> I think we should pull back further...like out of the mountain entirely...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns around eyeing Wind. 1"Now that was AWESOME!"
* Junior cannot be seen, at least direclty.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind whirls on Junior. He fires energy out at him.
* Seraphna tests, she holds out a hand and tries forming another sword.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *comm* "Teleport would be nice!"
<DeathStar> <Tom PIlot> <Comm> Roger. Hold on.
* Chad`Winters glances around for Zephyr
* Junior moves with lightening speed, the ground turning to ash as he swoops in, holding a white-hot-powered spear in his hand as he ruthlessly spirals in.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up.
<Cassandra`> Wounded get evacced first.
<Xanatos> What the hell is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind begins to flood hypespace into Junioir, burning away flesh that regenerations just as quickly
<DeathStar> <Wind> What. The. Fuck?!
<Chad`Winters> I can't keep up with his movments.
* Junior roars, "YOU WANTED THIS!? IT'S YOURS!" he teleports suddenly, thrusting the spear between his shoulder blades.
<DeathStar> 6* People ebegin to get beamed up
<Xanatos> Save me for last. *he orders them, he wants to see this battle*
<Junior> Weep in terror, I will stop your plans... YOU SPOILED BRAT!
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's eyes widen as the spear drives into him.
* Junior twists the spear in, making certain it touches the hyperspace entergy within him.
<DeathStar> 6* The spear suddenly is destroyed, and energy backflood pours of Wind into Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shields her face again
* Junior flies back, hitting the scorched walls, shattering the rock around him.
* Xanatos shields his eyes. "The power..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind is slammed backwards into a wall.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...enough fucking fireworks already."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Te Spear of Destiny is no more.
<Xanatos> Spear of Destiny?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A long story.
<Chad`Winters> Spear of Destiny? 6He eyes Erevis. 1"I thought that as a myth."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr glances over. "Is he dead?"
* Junior slides down the wall, falling to his knees as he coughs up blood.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm... not sure..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind twitches, then reforms his flesh
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I guess not."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The old man is friggin awesome!
<DeathStar> 6* Wind strains to stand. "You...you destroyed it...?!"
* Xanatos eyes Wind. "...You've got to be kidding me."
<DeathStar> 6* The little girl peeks over Dias' shoulder. "This is bad."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What's that?"
* Junior grins. "Immortality is nothing compared to the look on your face."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The fact that the old man isn't moving or the fact that Wind is still alive?
<Xanatos> Both.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Neither.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than what?
<Xanatos> Wait, what!? *he looks at the girl*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind holds out his hand. "Then I shall enjoy the look on your face as you become mortal." 6He zaps Junior.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl stares blankly. "You didn't know?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Know what?!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh....Of course, but just remind me.
* Junior roars, gripping his chest as though losing grip on something he had been holding back.
<DeathStar> <Girl> The second your ship came into orbit, this planet would have begun to destroy it, as you destroyed the brain of our world.
* Junior collapses onto the ground, not moving.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... No. Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind turns and vanishes from sight, retreating
<Chad`Winters> Aya....6He taps his comm. 1"Pilot get everyone on board and pull back!"
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, looking from the girl to Junior. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over, putting an arm around Junior so she gets beamed up as well
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Is Kyo...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You coming with kid? 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shakes her head sadly.
* Xanatos looks at Cheryl and frowns, looking down.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Do I have a choice, dork?
<Cassandra`> We're ready to get back to the ship.
<Cassandra`> <Myria> Me too!
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot mass teleports them up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls shaking his fist at the little girl
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... shame."
* Seraphna looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is on a medical table with Peace patching him up.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Pilot, begin retreating now."
* Seraphna rushes over to him. <<Darien...>>
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot on Comm> Too late. Yo might want to see this.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You...did good...Sera...
* Xanatos slowly looks around, he eyes Darien. Then glances at Chad after Pilot's words.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "See what?"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> On my way. 1He moves out of the teleporter room, sprinting towards the bridge
* Seraphna smiles at him, <<We'll do even better next time... you damn fool.>>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheyl and Zephyr dash ater him.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *heads to the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis nods her thanks to Darien. "Thank...you."
* Xanatos slowly pulls himself up and glances at Erevis, then Darien and Sera. He turns and steps out, moving for the bridge.
* Ariel heads to the medbay... more worried about Erevis and Darien, than what's going on
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So you still haven't told me your name.
<DeathStar> <Girl> I do not have one.
<Ariel> Em> *hurries to the bridge*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why the hell not?
* Seraphna sticks with Darien, heading to the medbay with him.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...well, I suppose that answers that." *making sure the kid doesn't try anything*
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the bridge, they would find PAX is trapped in some sort of vortex, and a black ball of negative energy is flying at the PAX.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Em, do you have a coat or something?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes his cig. "Suppose this is my last one."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the hell is THAT?
<Chad`Winters> ....Begin charging up the RWS. 6He pulls off his Fire Rune.
<Ariel> Em> "...ack!" *gives Hota her jacket quickly*
<Seraphna> <<I'm glad it worked...>>
* Xanatos eyes the black ball. "...I don't think I want to know."
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> We can't. No power left. The teleport drained the last.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *puts it on quickly*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So, we're dead..."
<Cassandra`> <Arhn> ~...Myria...~
<Cassandra`> <Myria> ...a...auntie...?
<Chad`Winters> Do we have enough for a jump?
<DeathStar> <Tom PIlot> Yep. Where's Kyo?
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> No, sir.
<Xanatos> ...*he looks down when Pilot says that*
* Chad`Winters moves over to a console and begins typing on it.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "..."
<Cassandra`> 6* The Dark Ship that Arhn seized control of begins moving toward the ball of negative energy...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait, Arhn?!
* Xanatos glances up at Zephyr, then looks to Arhn's ship. "Oh no."
* Chad`Winters begins re-routing systems, then looks at the Dark Ship, he quickly adjust to route systems to the teleporter
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "She's not going to...?"
<DeathStar> 6* The teleporter cannot operate.
* Seraphna looks over Peace and the medical team working on Darien and stands back, slouching into a chair, waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis collapses into a chair.
<DeathStar> 6* Junior is lugged in as well. He looks -- oddly different.
<Chad`Winters> Come on....6He keeps typing, working on overwriting the security systems
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Myria? What's Arhn doing? 6She looks at MYria.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well, we're going to have to pick a name for you then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hell. She's going to take the hit for us.
<DeathStar> <Girl> .......
<DeathStar> <Girl> I AM evil, you know.
<Cassandra`> 6* Arhn's moves the ship right into the path of the negative energy ball and it stop moving...a hole open on the Dark Ship, an energy field keeping atmospheric integrity as she stands to look at the stars.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria looks a pale shade of blue...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias strokes his jaw then brings his hand down on her head again.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Ow. 6She whimpers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No more evil tlak.
* Xanatos just clenches his fists around the railing, watching the ship.
<Chad`Winters> COME ON! 6He keeps typing.
<DeathStar> 6* The negative energy ball begins to hit the ship, then surrounds it, attaching itself to the Dark Ship.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No...I don't want anyone else to die.
<Ariel> Em> "......"
<Cassandra`> <Arhn> ~...all that is my life...I pass to you...the needs of the many...outweigh the needs of the one...remember our people...tell them that we are free of our...destiny...~
* Chad`Winters shuts off all safety protocols and begins routing power again
* Ariel sits down next to Erevis and Sera, looking quite drained.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ship is engulfed, and destroyed. The ball vanishes
* Seraphna looks over at Ariel, smiling gently, she grabbed a working comms unit from someone. "...Exhausted... you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis passes out finally.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria lets out a shriek and passes out!
<DeathStar> 6* The teleporter, moments too late, comes back online
* Ariel just nods, supporting Erevis so she doesn't fall over
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> We have flight control again, sir. She did it.
* Chad`Winters 's stares down at the console. He moves his hand to his face, rubbing it.
<Seraphna> "...You should both be resting... let's get her into a bed and then you can rest."
* Seraphna of course, says this with multiple slowly healing injuries and looking pale as a ghost.
<Chad`Winters> Pull us back to a safe distance, make sure the planet's dead...Then jump us out.
* Xanatos just turns and steps off of the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Well, we still need to pick up our army
<Ariel> "...now isn't the time."
* Chad`Winters blinks then looks at Pilot. 1"Yeah...your right."
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Also, if the Dark Ones knew where Earth is, shouldn't we raid the area t ofind starcharts? So we can go home?
<Seraphna> "...Mother, she's got a hole in her stomach, now is definately the time..."
* Seraphna tries to stand as she says this, but slumps back in her seat.
* Chad`Winters stands up slowly. 1"You've got the situation handled well."
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Thanks. Can I go see Kyo now?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits in a chair, holding her hands to her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her chest.
<Chad`Winters> She...she died.
* Ariel does her best to use the rune to help Erevis. Low enough power that she can do it gradually without knocking herself out.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Ha ha, very funny, sir.
<Ariel> Em> "......"
* Chad`Winters places his hand on Pilots shoulder. 1"I'm sorry..."
<DeathStar> <Tom PIlot> But...I..how?
* Seraphna sighs and lays her head back, eyes closing.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom looks shocked, his eyes looking misty.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... sacrificed herself to save us."
* Xanatos steps into medbay and glances around at everyone, he moves over and just sits down, a frown on his face. "Arhn's dead." He finally says.
<Seraphna> "...Glad... you're still alive... momma..." *she passes out*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How bout we call you Billy."
<DeathStar> <Girl> ... 6She smiles, then smashes Dias' face into a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl beams like a happy child.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "..." *Doesn't stop her*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans painfully.
<DeathStar> <Girl> Billy it is, Dork.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's like you took lessons from Zephyr...
<DeathStar> 6* Tom stands and then hurries out
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm evil. I took lessons from evil. Get it right, dog breath
<Chad`Winters> Dias turns to Setsuna, holding his nose up. 1"Is my nose bleeding?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Yeah. Looks broken."
* Xanatos decides to take up like everyone else and leans his head back, closing his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Can he be my new doll?
* Chad`Winters plops down in the captains chair.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits near Chad, looking blank and sad.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Screw Billy, you remind me of an Andrea.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You remind me of an idiot. 6Beams, then grabs him in a headlock, patting his head like a doll.
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria passed out cold...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Gah! Get her off!
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Are you going to make him evil like the last one?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> He's too dumb.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I SAID GET OFF! 6He stands upright, lifting her up
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at him annoyedly.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nods* "Alright then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls and swings his hand up to knock her upside her head
<DeathStar> 6* She whimpers.
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
