* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070529.log'
<DeathStar> 6* Stardate: Several, Several Hours Later
<DeathStar> Location: Orbit Around Jarivan
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. "Why are we here again?"
* Junior looks over to Zephyr.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
<Junior> For the umpteenth time, we're getting a new ship.
* Chad`Winters steps up behind the two. 1"To acquisition a ship."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, excuse me for asking this one time.
* Terra is now known as Red_Fox
* Xanatos scratches his nose. "Steal." he says.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there. "Something tells me John would approve."
<Red_Fox> "Oh, definitely."
<Chad`Winters> Dias turns around to look at Zephyr and Jr. 1"Yarrr..."
<Junior> Can't really live for the dead.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yarrr?
<Ariel> "......"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yarrr. It's pirate slang.
<Junior> Hence, I suggest we grab something new. Like a prototype or somethng from the show room. A concept ship.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> For what?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well for yarrr of course.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... ... It can't be slang for itself.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're not a pirate, you couldn't possibly understand.
<Red_Fox> "Nice to see Warren's crew were so intelligent."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her nose.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *eyes Fox, but says nothing*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She hmphs.
<Red_Fox> "I'd have fitted in great, don't you think?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Chad`Winters> We'll need to access a terminal and hack into the database to see what's available
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Red_Fox> "... anyway."
<Junior> Well, we're wasting time orbiting the planet. Let's go.
<Xanatos> Good luck with that. *he pats Chad on the back*
* Chad`Winters grimaces slightly as Xan pats him. 1"Or we could just window shop."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to walk out.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Xanatos pauses and then turns to step out after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX, emptied of most of it's civilian crews, is rather empty now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks for the hanger.
* Junior checks his gun, turning and stepping out as well. He brushes a bit of hair out of his eyes, taking a breath as he steps through the quiet, nearly abandoned hallways.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs a bit, then follows them.
* Xanatos steps up beside her as they move out, "Boy it's like a ghost ship or something."
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot sits at the flight controls of the PAX; he'll guard the PAX. Maybe.
* Red_Fox starts for the hangar herself.
* Chad`Winters tosses two pills into his mouth and swallows them. He turns moving after the others.
* Ariel heads out with her kin.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure you'll scare the ghosts off.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses his hands behind the back of his head and follows after them all.
<Xanatos> Only if I smile realy pretty.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Please. Don't.
<Xanatos> Well I've gotta wait for them to show up to do that. Sheesh.
* Red_Fox rolls her eyes a bit, but smiles
* Junior coughs into his hand, wincing as he does. He heads down to the hangar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6She eyes a vending machine, then kicks it and grabs some chips. She opens it noisely as she steps into the hanger.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Great, I feel my intelligence dropping with every word spoken by you Xan.
<Xanatos> Wow, Dias. You must be in the negatives mpw/
<Xanatos> NRP: now*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe that's why pirates go "Yarrr". They're too stupid to talk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yarrrrrr.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on a shuttle, ripping out important wires.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> GET OFF MY FIGHTER!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs. "Why haven't we airlocked that one?"
* Junior steps into the hanger, his hands in his pockets as he watches the exchange--albeit onesided--between Dias and Billy.
* Chad`Winters grunts.
<Junior> Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy glances up at Junior.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs a socket and hurls it at Billy's head.
<Red_Fox> "No idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy catches it while looking at Junior
* Xanatos glances at Cheryl. "Cause she's a little kid."
<Junior> It would be more evil to make it do unpredictable things, rather than breaking it right-off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's evil.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Noted.
* Cassandra` steps into the hangar, clad in her battlearmor.
* Junior turns away, talking towards the shuttle.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Well I'm sure not going to do it."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tosses the socket way up in the air, then leaps in after Junior.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hey! What are you doing with my ward?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks in casually. Cheryl shrugs and steps in.
* Chad`Winters steps into the shuttle, sitting down in the back, slumping completely into it as he rests.
* Xanatos steps into the shuttle and glances around. "Oh crap, do I have to fly?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad.
<Cassandra`> What is our status?
<DeathStar> 6* The socket comes down on Dias' head
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a step forward and winces as he grabs his head in pain.
<Xanatos> We're leaving. Get on the shuttle. *he says back to Cass*
<Cassandra`> Good enough for me. *boards*
* Xanatos motions to Dias. "Wanna drive?"
<Red_Fox> "Well, hopefully, evil kid hasn't done anything to it." *climbs on board*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eats her chips more quickly when Xan offers it to Dias
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You sure you want me to fly a shuttle?
* Junior sits on the shuttle, thumbing at the saftey on his gun, clicking it back and forth as he waits for them to decide who will pilot impatiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits in the pilot's seat, powers it up, then grabs the controls and launches forward
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Wait for me too! *clambers on to the shuttle*
* Ariel gets on the shuttle. Setsuna quickly enters to make sure Junior doesn't teach Billy and bad habits.
<Xanatos> ....maybe? *he rubs his chin, he widens his eyes and grabs onto a chair*
* Wiendigo has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles back then tumbles into the back wall, slamming into it
<DeathStar> 6* Billy makes sure to clip a tech on the way out
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait, a four year old is flying?
<Xanatos> Someone get her! *he claws forward to try and get to the pilot seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tilts the shuttle so Xan goes sliding backwards
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls in pain as Xan slams into him
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl buckles in carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grips her seat
* Chad`Winters grabs onto his seat as he jumbles around
* Junior glances out the window, watching the tech get severed in half by the fin of the shuttle, except for his large intestine. The tech's torso and legs flap behind them like a pair of cans in a "Just Married" fashion. He blinks and shakes his head, looking away.
* Xanatos grunts as he slams into Dias and pushes himself off. "Oh god..."
<Cassandra`> ...why is she at the controls?!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy flies them down toward the planet.
<Chad`Winters> Dias growls and punches Xan across the back of the head.
<Red_Fox> "Because no-one else is."
<Cassandra`> ... ... ...nice.
* Xanatos glares at Dias. "STOP." He grabs onto a chair and begins to pull himself up to the pilots seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy tilts the shuttle so Xan adn Dias go flying into the front instead of going slowly.
<Chad`Winters> 
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slams into Xanatos's backside
* Xanatos rolls forward with Dias, slamming into the base of the co-pilot's seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eats a candy bar
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, his eyes a daze
<DeathStar> 6* Billy flies onward, ignoring the two
<Cassandra`> ...pathetic...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
* Chad`Winters just closes his eyes.
* Junior sits quietly, rubbing his forehead with a cloth from his pocket. He looks over to Cheryl, speaking softly. "So, a quick in-and-out job, or did we want more than just a ship?"
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Xanatos pulls himself up and slides into the co-pilot's seat, buckling himself in.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just a ship. Anything else won't make much of a difference against the firepower present.
<Junior> We could get lucky. *he shrugs, grinning slightly*
* Xanatos moves to reroute the controls to himself. "Dias get her."
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos is locked out
<Xanatos> What the!? You locked me out! *he glares at Billy*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at him, and wags her finger at him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps forward, which happens to be towards the back of the shuttle and grabs air, slamming onto the floor.
<Xanatos> Billy can I please pilot the ship?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at him. "You sure?"
<Junior> No he's not. Now don't you dare rip the contols off and hand them to him. I'm warning you.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I was merely going to transfer the controls if he wanted to fly.
* Junior eyes Billy.
* Xanatos blinks at Junior and then looks at Billy. "....If...you...want..." he eyes Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shrugs. She transfers the controls to Xan's side ---- sadly, since Xan wasn't paying attention, they're about to crash into another ship.
<Red_Fox> "Xan, ship."
* Xanatos widens his eyes and grabs the control, moving to avoid the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos clips the other ship, ripping off the shuttle wing.,
<Xanatos> Oh great. *he sighs, fighting to get it under control.*
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eats a cookie calmly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So much for "in and out".
<Xanatos> ....Where the hell am I going, anyway?
* Junior looks to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Into a building. 6She answers calmly. Indeed, Xan is flying them right at a building.
* Xanatos pulls up, moving to avoid the building.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos pulls up, but it's harder to move up than side to side --- so he smashes into the glass windows and through an office floor
<Junior> We have a child made of pure evil, and an idiot savant--sans the savant--along for the ride. This was never going to be 'in and out' by most's standards.
<Cassandra`> What are you doing?!
<DeathStar> 6* People scream and dive to the sides.
* Junior grips the arm rests, steadying himself as Xan crashes them.
* Xanatos tightens his hand on the controls. "Killing us in a fiery crash, duh." He frowns. "Billy, will you please get us out of this."
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos explodes out the other side of the floor, smashing another window.
<DeathStar> <Billy> No.
* Xanatos sighs. "Someone point out a good place to crash...I mean land."
<Junior> Well, we'll be arrested if we stay in the shuttle. We need to make ourselves scarce--now.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind, who seems to have appeared during their flight. "Teleport?"
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes slowly. 1"It would be appreciated.
<Ariel> "......"
<Xanatos> I vote I never fly again. *he says with a sigh*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's gaze glances at Junior to see if that's what he wants.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...so, right. Why haven't we gotten an actual pilot?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I second that.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *finishes her cookie*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly stands up. 1"I agree."
* Junior stands, stepping off of the shuttle. He looks back over his shoulder at the checkered carpet. Behind the shuttle is stained crimson and off-colored peach with the ground flesh of the patrons of the building who weren't so fortunate to dodge the ship. Their flesh having been ground into the carpet like a piece of deli meat of an impatient child stomping a sandiwch they don't like as they whined.
<Red_Fox> "You'll get us out of here, somewhere we won't die horribly?"
<DeathStar> 6* Junior steps off the shuttle -- and falls throgu hthe sky.
* Junior holds onto the edge of the door, looking out at the wreckage.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at Junior falling. "He'll be fine."
* Xanatos glances at Wind. "Teleport. Please." His hands are tight on the controls and he's face is grim.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind teleports them all to a location on the ground, and the shuttle can be seen falling into the ground, exploding
<Cassandra`> Yes, please do.
* Xanatos slumps down onto his ass. "That's why I wanted Dias too drive."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind adjusts the sunglasses.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Lets do it again! 6She squeals like a little girl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes a deep breath then stands upright.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets not. I feel the urge to puke.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stretches. Someone falls from the building and lands nearby.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure it's just a bug.
* Junior ignores the fact he's falling for a time, then isn't seen. Seems ignoring reality doesn't make it function differnetly for him.
<Xanatos> Didn't have to urge to puke before the pilot ride?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope.
<Cassandra`> We need to find a commbat-worthy ship.
<Xanatos> No. We need to find a fast ship that can get us where we're needing to be.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Where's Junior?
<Chad`Winters> The space dock or ship yard would be the best bet.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Anything that'd meet our needs will likely be at a private port, knowing our luck. Not many people keep private, military grade ships, at public facilities."
<DeathStar> 6* Sirens can be heard in the distance
<Cassandra`> Let's move!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves the authorities in their direction
* Chad`Winters nods to Setsuna. 1"We need to get to a terminal so we can get a sense of direction.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and smacks Billy upside the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy winces.
<Chad`Winters> Bad Billy!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* A man, who was rushing to save them, stares at Dias hitting Billy
<DeathStar> <Billy> Help! He's kidnapping me!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl casually walks off to find the private ports, leaving Dias to his fate.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls out a newspaper and rolls it up then smacks Billy atop the head. 1"Bad Billy!"
<Cassandra`> ...aiyaa... *walks off*
* Xanatos stares again, then turns and moves after Cheryl.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *walks off too*
* Chad`Winters moves after Cheryl
* Ariel heads after Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Billy> Heeelp! 6Gives the man cute eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaves Dias alone. The man rushes over to save Billy. Billy walks off while he fights Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tosses the newspaper at the man's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind never cared, and is already long gone.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *puts a hand on Billy's shoulder, and guides her after the others*
<Chad`Winters> DAMN YOU XANATOS!!!!!!!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias.
* Xanatos glances back towards Dias and then glances at Cheryl. "Why is he damning me??"
<DeathStar> 6* The team leaves the scene of the crash, and the poor deaths, and Dias being arrested. Soon, they find themselves in the city's casino areas.
<Red_Fox> "Do we even know which way we're going?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind doesn't answer.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *pulls out a datapad and tries to access some map data
<DeathStar> 6* There's some private ports north of the casinos. Special security.
* Chad`Winters looks over to Myria. 1"Which way?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> "North...that way." *points north*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr admires some jewelry that someone is trying to sell her
<Xanatos> It's fake. *he says as he steps past Zephyr*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Takes one to know one. 6She pulls down her eyelid and sticks out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> It'd still look good on you. 6He nods to Zephyr and keeps walking.
* Xanatos flinches. "That was mean." He frowns and hangs his head, walking on.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams.
* Ariel smiles a little... This brings back memories.
<Red_Fox> "... I really miss Warren at times like this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure he doesn't miss you. 6He glances around as he moves.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr buys a bracelet, handing over the money.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along again.
* Xanatos glances left, then right. "Where's the bathroom? I forgot to go before we left."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stares.
<Cassandra`> Zephyr...universe needs saving...
* Xanatos glances at Cheryl. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *Sighs* But can't we look good while we do it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points at a casino. "Go use that one."
<Cassandra`> Unless you want to be Xevil or Spade's love slave...no.
* Xanatos glances at the Casino. "But....I might be inticed to gamble..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shows Myria a necklace that would look good with her blue ksin
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...ummm...
* Chad`Winters adjusts his shirt as he eyes the casino
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh come on!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then piss in the bushes. I don't care.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ok...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams and gets Myria to wear it.
<Xanatos> Oh fine. *he turns and jogs into the casino*
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *wears it!
<Cassandra`> ...ok...who is still with me?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is by herself, strangely.
* Chad`Winters grunts rhetorically
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along. Billy steals all the jewlery.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well... real focused group we have here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They'd just get in the way of getting the ship, anyway.
* Xanatos is thrown out of the casino shortly after. He grumbles and moves to catch back up with the others.
<Cassandra`> ...let's go save reality then.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy walks after htem, dacked out in jewlery and bling.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...did you loose everything already?"
<Xanatos> ....No I couldn't find my damn ID....
<DeathStar> 6* Billy uses Xan's ID to buy 100,000 dollars worth of merchandise on a terminal
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm sure it'll turn up.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nods*
<Xanatos> I sure hope so...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sprinting out of a casino.
* Red_Fox looks to Setsuna. "Has it always been like this?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Not exactly."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes running by the group. 1"HI! BYE!"
<Red_Fox> "That's a relief."
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the port
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
* Xanatos glances at Dias running past them.
<DeathStar> 6* The cops run by the team after Dias.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, at least he's providing a distraction.
<Cassandra`> ...what the?
<Xanatos> A pretty good one too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides around a corner, poker chips spilling onto the ground, apparently he was busy.
<Chad`Winters> He was a good kid too....
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand on her hip, eyeing the security doors on the pot.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> For about 3 months
<Chad`Winters> I thought he'd be safe with John...
<DeathStar> 6* Wind leans his head back, eyeing the door
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmhm
<Chad`Winters> Well...safer. 6He coughs.
* Xanatos rubs the back of his head. "Hmmmm."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy slips Xan his ID back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, how do we get in?
* Xanatos shrugs. "I dunno."
<Chad`Winters> A door would suffice...6He glances at everyone. 1"Where's Junior?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Around.
<Xanatos> Last I saw he was trying to fly.
<DeathStar> <Wind> He doesn't have to try.
<Xanatos> He can fly?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *tries to override port security long enough to let them in*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind just gives him a stoic gaze.
<Xanatos> ....Well that's pretty cool. Wish I could fly.
<Chad`Winters> I didn't know human's could fly. 6He moves over to the door his hand moving to tact belt then stops as he see's Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* The security doors unlock and open.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ok, we can go.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Clearly you can't fly a shuttle, much less yourself.
<Red_Fox> "So, we won't be seeing him again any time soon."
* Red_Fox quietly heads inside
* Chad`Winters glances around.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> and Cassandra head in
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Cheryl move in
* Chad`Winters moves in after the two
<Xanatos> I'd probably do better with just myself. *he says with a shrug, turning and stepping inside*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind debates altering reality just to see him try.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move in, they can see several sleek, powerful vessels, clearly bought by rich people.
<Xanatos> Oh wow. We should all just take one each.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her nose again.
* Chad`Winters looks from one ship to the next.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together behind her, eyeing the vessels. Some seem to be very luxurious, providing lots of room unlike a shuttle.
* Xanatos moves his eyes from one to the next.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets just pick one.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But not that red one.
<Xanatos> I like that green one, really.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I like the pink one.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *tries to get a quick manifest of all the ships and looks for the one with the highest registered enginer power to mass ratio.
<Xanatos> How can we look manly in a pink one?
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr. 1"You wanted to look stylish pick...He stops, staring at Zephyr.
<Junior> Red is stupid. *stands ontop of the black one*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<Xanatos> I think Junior is voting for the black one.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses, then leaps up onto the black ship. "We'll be harder to see in it."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *keeping an eye for something that looks like it'd SURVIVE ATTACKING AN ALIEN FLEET.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna sees an old rug boat ship.
* Xanatos moves over to the Black one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pouts a little.
* Red_Fox looks over the ships quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Wind steps through the walls of the black ship.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head at Zephyr and moves over to the black ship.
<DeathStar> 6* The black ship's ramp lowers.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> The black one is one of the fastest.
* Junior jumps down, walking up the ramp, folding his arms.
* Xanatos steps up the ramp. "Hey Wind. I think you should fly."
* Chad`Winters moves up the ramp after Jr.
<DeathStar> 6* A man wearing a delivery outfit arrives with a large package. "I have a delivery for Billy Durran."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy nods and leaps up, grabbing the package that's clearly larger than her, then signs her name.
* Xanatos slides to a stop and then glances at Billy. "You..." He instantly pats around for his ID again.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy carries the large package onto the black ship.
<DeathStar> 6* He finds it
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<Junior> Psh, why not just have him teleport us, and the ship back into orbit? It would be faster, and safer if we avoided anyone giving chase entirely.
<DeathStar> <Wind> It would cost too much energy.
* Xanatos eyes his ID, then Billy. "...i'm gonna kill her."
* Junior glances to Billy, studying her.
<Junior> Sounds like an excuse.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes running into the port, this time carrying money.
<Ariel> "...let's just get this over with." *steps inside*
<Cassandra`> Let's get this thing in the air then. *boards*
<DeathStar> <Wind> Do you wish for me to remove Spade safely, or waste energy?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *also boards*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Cheryl step onto the ship.
<Red_Fox> "Safely?"
<Junior> No happy middle ground?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sprinting up the ramp after Zephyr and Cheryl. 1" GO GO GO GO GO!"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Since being stabbed, my energy isn't what it was.
<Junior> A bitch, aint it?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm dealing with it.
* Xanatos grumbles and walks furthur into the ship, glancing around.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins looking around quickly at the inside of the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind casually raises the ramp as the cops rush in
* Chad`Winters makes his way to the bridge.
* Red_Fox hurries to the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* Billy wobbles toward the bridge with her package.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches her, then moves to the bridge.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias let's out a sigh of relief as he holds two sacks of credits.
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone rushes into the small bridge.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, who's flying?
* Xanatos eyes the sack of credits and takes one, stepping back some to count it.
<Xanatos> Not me.
<DeathStar> 6* The cops begin to lock down the port.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches Xan square in the face and grabs the sack back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs.
* Chad`Winters moves into the pilots seat and begins powering up.
<Red_Fox> "Someone who isn't me."
<Red_Fox> "Like Chad."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind doesn't volunteer.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Law enforcement are locking down the port. Its now or never.
* Junior looks to Billy, watching her with her package.
* Xanatos punches Dias back. "You owe me! You're stupid little kid stole my money." He pulls up his datapad to show Dias his current balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks back.
<Chad`Winters> Everyone get situated...6He unlocks the ship from the port and turns it around, moving to the exit
<Junior> What did you buy?
<Chad`Winters> Dias scowls and kicks Xan in the shin. 1"Go to hell you little bastard.!"
* Xanatos punches Dias again and runs off with a sack of money.
<DeathStar> <Billy> A portable mini-rocket launcher, with laser blasts for a secondary attack. It is the latest model. 6She notes perfectly blandly, then opens it and shows the awesome weapon
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts and trips Xanatos as he turns to run.
<Junior> Where was it manufactured?
* Xanatos stumbles forward and slams into the wall. "Ow.." he grumbles.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks envious.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps onto Xan's back and grabs his sack of credits back. 1"Jackass."
<DeathStar> <Billy> A private company that builds weapons. They had a five star rating.
<DeathStar> 6* The black ship leaves the port.
<Junior> Quality.
* Xanatos jumps up quickly to knock Dias off balance. "It's your fault!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I can demonstrate on Durran, if you desire.
* Chad`Winters pulls the ship up towards space, hitting the boosters.
<Chad`Winters> Dias falls onto his back, groaning.
<Junior> You'd hurt the ship. Save it for later.
<Red_Fox> "Well, we have a stylish new ship. What are we going to call it?"
<Xanatos> Just give me back my 100,000 credits and i'll be satisfied.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bring that up with Billy. 6He pushes himself up
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lets call it the Zephyr.
<Red_Fox> "Lets not."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hell bring it up with Setsuna, it's her kid now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
<Xanatos> She's your responsibility.
<Xanatos> Wait, what?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No she's not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, then goes for a private room
<Red_Fox> "We can't name it after any one crew member."
* Xanatos points to Billy. "Look. She looks just like you."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy aims the gun at xanatos, looking pissed now.
<Ariel> "... that has some connotations that I rather not think about."
<Chad`Winters> The Ire. 6He begins entering hyper space coordinates.
<Red_Fox> "... that could work."
* Xanatos arches a brow. "I was kidding." He tells Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy turns off the safety and a rocket neatly loads into the barrell.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's not nearly good looking enough.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Alright Billy, no explosions in the ship."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "If you need to shoot something, use the laser."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy switches to laser mode
* Xanatos slides away from Dias.
<Chad`Winters> It doesn't really matter what we call it, it won't be around long enough.
<DeathStar> 6* A target appears on Xan's face
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to look at Billy. He quickly leaps into a side room.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fires the laser.
<Xanatos> ....*he moves to dive out into the hall*
<DeathStar> 6* The laser blows up a coffee pot.
* Xanatos breaths heavily, then smirks and sneaks off with his sack of cash.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind just sits on a cushy chair and crosses his arms.
<Chad`Winters> 6Xan would find it full of lead plates.
* Chad`Winters enters hyperspace
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> This...is going to be a long trip.
<DeathStar> 6* Several, Several Hours Later
<DeathStar> 6* The back rooms are full of laser holes.
* Xanatos is hiding from Billy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits on a counter, munching on an apple.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores on the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy walks around, hunting Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey Billy...
* Junior nods to Billy. "Okay, okay, so it works." he hands her five credits.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions to the closet.
<DeathStar> 6* billy nods, then hands over the gun to Junior. Sold for 5 credits.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy counts her money gleefully.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
* Junior holds the gun over his shoulder, nodding. "You really cheated me with the price, too."
<DeathStar> <Billy> You are too soft.
* Chad`Winters lays in the small observation room, his eyes closed, sprawled out on a couch.
<Junior> So I hear, but you know how it is these days.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind sits there with holes in him from the lasers
<DeathStar> 6* The cockpit beeps as they are about to exit hyperspace.
* Ariel sighs. About time.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down a the controls, as she's sitting in the pilot seat.
* Red_Fox looks over to the console from her seat
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands up.
* Junior looks to Wind. "You and your holier than thou attitude."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up, taking one last bite from his apple. He hops off the counter.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Compensating for something? 6Motions at the gun
* Xanatos steps into the bridge. "Good. We're there."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind shimmers and reforms his human body
* Junior shrugs lightly. "It's penetrating."
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Takes too long between load times.
<Cassandra`> Be ready for anything...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy kicks Wind in the shin and sends him crashing to the floor.
<Junior> It's not quantity that counts.
* Chad`Winters shifts slightly on the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances back. "Someone should wake up those who are asleep."
* Junior smiles to Billy, messing up her hair. "That was very evil."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Thank you
* Xanatos stares at Billy and Wind.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I hate that.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship exits hyperspace in the Sol system.
* Xanatos turns and steps back through the ship, pounding on the walls as he moves. "Wake up people, we're here."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...does that happen when anyone tries it?"
<DeathStar> 6* And finds 100 battle cruisers. An entire fleet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gags.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hops out of the room.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes, slowly. He rolls himself onto his feet, his hand moving down to his tact belt and pulling out two pills. He tosses them back and swallows them.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stares. "This is not good."
<Cassandra`> ...they aren't exactly subtle...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wow....That's a lot a ships.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Looks like Xevil is waiting to use his new fleet to take over everything ocne the reality thing starts.
<Red_Fox> "I'm glad you're here. We'd never have guessed otherwise."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...didn't I say we needed a real ship?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Har Har...
<DeathStar> 6* Wind removes the glasses, his energy eyes blazing. He seems to be searching for something.
* Chad`Winters looks out of the observation port at the 100 Battle Cruisers.
<Red_Fox> "So, what's the plan?"
* Xanatos slides back into the bridge and lets out a low whistle. "Wow."
<Chad`Winters> .....6He stands up weakly and begins moving towards the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She looks at Chad.
<Red_Fox> "Please tell me we're not going to just rush in."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stares, her lips curling
* Junior stands on the bridge with his new gun.
<Chad`Winters> Xevil isn't chancing anything is he.
<DeathStar> <Wind> If he wanted to be thorough, he'd have killed everyone when he had the chance.
<Red_Fox> "He'll be tough to beat."
* Junior glances back to Billy, then back to the viewport.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind points at a spot of space where no ship is at
<DeathStar> <Wind> There.
<Cassandra`> This could lure him into overconfidence...we will have to use this carefully though.
* Chad`Winters glances at Jr and his big gun. He looks back at the view screen.
<Red_Fox> "Hmm?"
<Chad`Winters> You're sure about this?
<DeathStar> <Wind> He's there.
<Red_Fox> "Hidden."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Spade and his woman are there, too
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"Zephyr..." He motions her out of the pilots seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets up out of the seat.
* Chad`Winters moves over and sits down. He takes a deep breathe and begins flicking switches.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Are you well enough to fly this gauntlet?
<Chad`Winters> I want everyone bracing themselves.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits in the co-pilot seat.
* Xanatos slides into a seat and buckles himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl braces by leaning against a wall.
* Chad`Winters nods to Zephyr. 1"I've got a good co-pilot.
* Red_Fox braces herself
<DeathStar> <Wind> Very well.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs onto a railing.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *straps in*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at Junior, almost as if he would prefer him or Junior to fly.
* Cassandra` and Myria brace...
* Chad`Winters grimaces for a second.
* Junior looks back to Wind, narrowing his eyes.
<Junior> I'll pilot.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'll co-pilot.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Jr. 1"I'm..." He looks over at Zephyr than pauses. He nods to them and stands up, bracing himself with the chair.
<Red_Fox> "I'll wait."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hestiates, then stands up. Wind takes her seat.
* Junior walks over to the seat, sitting in the pilot seat. He nods to Chad. "Don't worry."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'll help the shields adjust to whatever side is damaged.

<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows Chad.
<DeathStar> <Wind> On your mark, Junior.
* Chad`Winters moves into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.
* Xanatos whistles lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits outside the bathroom
* Junior grips the thrusters, pushing the throttle all the way forward as the ship launches forward.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship zooms by, passing the columns of battle cruisers rapidly as it flies toward Earth and the blank spot of space.
<Chad`Winters> 6A thud can be heard from inside the bathroom, apparently Chad wasn't ready for the sudden launch forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy slams into Xan's face
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad?!
<DeathStar> 6* The battlecruisers weapons begin to arm and take aim
<DeathStar> <Wind> They're getting ready to fire.
<Xanatos> Ow! *he pulls Billy off* He said grab ahold of something!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs ahold of Xan's face.
<Xanatos> GET OFF! *he mumbles*
* Junior barrel rolls the ship, corkscrewing forward to aid in avoiding a lock-on.
* Chad`Winters opens the door, stepping out.
<DeathStar> 6* The ships open fire in a wide disperrsal pattern. Get ready!
<Chad`Winters> I'm fine, I wasn't prepared for it....

* Red_Fox checks the damage reports
<Junior> Okay, now that I've felt out the controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind has already shifted shields to absorb the hit.
* Chad`Winters smiles weakly and moves over to a chair, sitting down quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Junior enters the second half of the gauntlet.

<DeathStar> 6* The ship shakes from several hits
<DeathStar> 6* Junior arrives at the blank part of space and the fire stops.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad. "You're pushing yourself too hrd."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thank. God. Xan. Did. Not. Do. That.
<Chad`Winters> And it's only going to get worse from here on out.
* Xanatos nods his head. "Ditto."
<Red_Fox> "You mean, he actually flies?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could've done better.
* Junior pulls the thrusters back, moving for the void.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind eyes the sensors.
<DeathStar> 6* The area of space begins to shimmer, and before them, a gigantic battlestation, part Planet Killer, part space station, appears
<Xanatos> Hush Stella, or I will slap you.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wow...I this things friggin huge.
<DeathStar> 6* Thousands of guns seems to be coming out of it
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...fuck."
<Junior> ... Here we go again.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Get in close, Junior.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And it's got tons of tiny little guns too....Crap
* Junior pulls in, flying between rows of guns as they speed forward.
<Red_Fox> "It was a serious question."
<DeathStar> 6* As Junior flies in, the first wave BEGINS!

* Red_Fox cringes
<DeathStar> 6* Junior reaches the surface, but isn't near the hanger yet.
<Chad`Winters> We must be near their main ship.
<DeathStar> <Wind> You're about to take out our shields.
* Junior grits his teeth, narrowing his eyes for the next bit.
<Junior> Divert non-essential power.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods, doing so. The lights dim.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Okay, ready?
<Junior> No.
* Junior pushes the thruster faster.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship zooms ahead into the last wave!

<Junior> ddddddddddddddddudddllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (HAH!)
<DeathStar> 6* The ship takes a few hits, then suddenly Junior freaks out and crashes them into the hanger by going up insanely int oit
<Cassandra`> What the?!
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stares as they smash through the ceiling into another floor
* Chad`Winters is tosses from his seat and onto the floor.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Brilliant. Now they have to reroute to get to us.
* Xanatos tenses up. "Ok, am I really this bad?"
* Red_Fox falls to the floor, blinking
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stumbles
<Red_Fox> "Wait.. that was planned?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds onto the wall.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Of course.
* Junior grabs his big gun, running to the ramp as it opens. "Straight into the thick."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You wanted to stop in the hanger?
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head and moves after Jr.
* Red_Fox shrugs and follows
* Cassandra` moves out~
<DeathStar> 6* The 1,000 troops in the hanger stare up at the ship in the ceiling
<Xanatos> Great plan guys. *he gives a thumbs up before moving off after Dias and Jr. he pulls up his pistols as he does so.*
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> too!
* Junior fires rockets down at the 1,000 troops, testing otu just how good that rocket launcher is.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna heads after Cass without commenting on how insane that was.
<DeathStar> 6* The explosions send body parts flying everywhere.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stares.
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up, with a painful grunt and he slips his hand into his tact belt, he slides his hand over his left hand and pulls his glove on.
<Ariel> "...Cheryl. I think I'm getting too old for this..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares in awe.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr, you ok?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... No, I think it's all them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger continues to explode and Tsivrixsh are sent flying and screaming.
* Junior fires the lasers at the ones that run, slicing the poor troops apart as he has abuses the high ground. He bares his teeth, decimating their numbers with the mighty power of his weapon, dubbed the "Organ Grinder" as the music of exploding intestines echoes up to them.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy watches, nodding approvingly.
<Xanatos> Is he...making music with the explosions?
<DeathStar> 6* The troops are cut in half, gushing blood everywhere as they scream in terror.
* Red_Fox watches, shooting any Tsiv who manage to survive
<DeathStar> 6* Wind tilts his sunglasses down as he looks over the edge of the hole they made into the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Fox now
* Chad`Winters moves after Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches. "Why are htey doing that?
<DeathStar> 6* One's head explodes from the laser and he runs around like a chicken.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...they're saddistic, and want us to get caught."
<Chad`Winters> I'm assuming abusive parents.
<Chad`Winters> Setsuna. 6He motions her over.
* Xanatos scratches his head...then jsut moves past junior towards the exit.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon, all 1,000 troops are dead. Junior's gun locks down to cool off.
<DeathStar> 6* Their bodies make a large pile in the hanger now.'
<Red_Fox> "They already know we're here."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pushes his sunglasses back up.
* Junior turns to the others, his coat flapping as he does. He looks to the others. "Now the hard part begins."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head.
* Cassandra` nods.
<Red_Fox> "... you think we got inside without being noticed?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> I wish there was more. *she sighs, disappointed*
<Red_Fox> "I don't."
<Junior> Now Billy, we have to let the gun cool before we can have more fun.
* Xanatos leans against the wall and peeks his head out to see if there are any enemies coming their way.
<Red_Fox> "Can we move?"
<DeathStar> 6* The smell of burnt flesh drifts up to their location above the hanger.
* Red_Fox starts for the hangar exit
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly pinches his nose.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks over to Chad* "Yeah?"
<DeathStar> 6* Fox woudl have to drop down into the hanger to use it's exit
* Junior moves on, as if on a hunt.
* Chad`Winters hands her something.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks down the hallway, not going into the hanger.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna smiles.
* Red_Fox follows Cheryl instead, then
<DeathStar> 6* As they leave, their ship falls out of the ceiling and lands on the bodies
* Xanatos is slightly ahead of Cheryl, his pistols pulled out.
* Chad`Winters nods and begins moving after the others. 1"Jr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps back as Junior walks by her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just stares at him.
* Junior looks over his shoulder to Chad. "Yes?" the gun smokes ominously.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind walks onward, unbothered by Junior's display of violence.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *taps on her datapad, trying to get some security info...
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos reaches a T in the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria gets nothing.
<Chad`Winters> Get your head checked. 6He hands him the Ice Rune.
* Red_Fox looks over to Chad. "What's that?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...I can't get anything out of the local net.
* Xanatos slides to a stop and then glances left, then right. "Which way?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...they would have security."
<Chad`Winters> Something we found on our travels. 6He coughs.
<DeathStar> 6* A shot flies at Xan's face as he glances.
* Junior takes it in hand, looking back at him. "Sad as it may sound to say--I know what I'm doing."
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixsh Warriors stand ready!
* Xanatos ducks back and pulls up his pistols, firing at them.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh Warriors take the shots in stride, and throw a bomb at him
* Chad`Winters grunts in response. 1"Cheryl?" 6He motions a rune to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
* Xanatos turns and runs away from the bomb, towards the others. "Get down!"
<Chad`Winters> Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb explodes.
* Cassandra` ducks down, followed by Myria
* Red_Fox keeps well away from the bomb
* Junior takes cover.
* Chad`Winters twists his head out of the explosion.
* Ariel takes cover, then looks to Chad
* Xanatos dives as the bomb explodes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls backwards from the blast.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr IS in th eback.
* Chad`Winters tosses her the Lightning, Water and Holy runes.
* Junior channels, the rune, gaining a thick layer of ice armor as he stands up again, drawing his pistol in his free hand and taking pot shots through the smoke.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind walks casually through the fire of the explosion.
* Ariel manages to catch them without dropping them, but it's awkward
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixshs can be heard screaming in terror and pain.
* Xanatos pulls himself up and turns, firing at Charged shot through the smoke for the head of one of the tsiv, using his eye to aid him in seeing.
* Chad`Winters grabs Dias by the collar and lifts him up, slapping the Earth rune on his wrist.
* Junior walks, following DS through the smoke, the ice armor getting grimed up as the dust sticks to it, making it a muddled, dark color.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Wow. Glad he's on our side."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind reforms his hand. The Tsivrixsh are headless.
* Chad`Winters moves after the others, he pulls out his pistol, clicking off the safety.
* Red_Fox starts after Wind and Xan
<Xanatos> Nice uh...work there.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together and moves after the others.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...okay, these guys are nasty."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at Xan, then holds out his hand to shake Xan's.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks a little ill.
* Xanatos eyes Wind's hand. "Uhh...don't melt my hand please." He reaches out to shake the reformed hand.
<Cassandra`> Least I'm saving ammo.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind just smiles, and shakes it.
* Ariel sockets the runes, then goes and rests a hand on Zephyr's shoulder. "Let's move. Quickly."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes and moves on.
* Xanatos smiles lightly, pulling his hand back. "Yeah..." he pauses and glances around. "We should continue."
<Chad`Winters> Wind, you're going to have to lead us. 6He grimaces briefly.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Oh?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at Chad.
* Junior moves ahead a bit, his eyes darting around cautiously.
<Chad`Winters> You have a sense of direction undoubtedly right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind motions. "I was following Rambo."
<DeathStar> 6* Junior moves down the black colored hallways.
<Xanatos> Who? *he pauses* Oh me. Yeah...I didn't know where I was going.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind turns and follows after the madman with the big gun
* Junior looks over his shoulder to the others. "You may as well follow me. I know the way."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...do we have to?"
<Red_Fox> "Okay, Xevil will probably be on the bridge. Be careful."
<Chad`Winters> Explain. 6He moves after them.
<Xanatos> Right...*he rubs his chin and moves on now*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Zephyr follow along.
* Red_Fox follows
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias follows behind Cheryl and Zephyr, enjoying the view
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> This is useless... *puts away her datapad and then activate her light blade*
<Red_Fox> "Nice weapon."
<Junior> He'll be in this throne room. That's usually separate from the bridge--it's a bit more fitting for him to feel less like a field commander and more regal in nature.
<Chad`Winters> How do you know the layout tho.
<Junior> Where do you think I was teleported to with Spade?
* Junior reloads his guns, cocking the gun with his teeth as he holds the massive gun in his other hand.
* Chad`Winters nods, satisified now.
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk along, they are led into a large circular room, with a dome ceiling. Five large crystals are on pillars attached into the wal, and two dragon like faces on two more pillars where one would assume a door should be - there is none. Standing in the middle is Erevis, wearing Tsivrixsh battle armor, her hair in a ponytail.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *frowns* "...there is that."
<Ariel> "......"
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Well. You all know how to make an entrance.
* Wiendigo has quit IRC (Quit: I think alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for. 'Dammit, Otto, you're an alcoholic. Dammit, Otto, you have lupis.')
<Junior> Entrance? We were expected.
* Chad`Winters clenches his hand around his gun.
<DeathStar> <Spade> To see Xevil's ascenion, no doubt.
* Xanatos tenses up when he sees Erevis.
* Junior takes aim, clearing his mind. "Something like that."
<Red_Fox> "You know what that will mean..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns, and hangs back. Cheryl stands ready. Wind just stares impassively.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'd rather talk first.
<Red_Fox> "Then talk."
<Junior> Well, I'd reccomdend making it worth our while.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias bounces from side to side, stretching out.
<DeathStar> <Spade> You all stand no chance to beat Xevil. The divergence is going to occur very soon. And his power is immense. However, with my ability to take bodies, I plan to take his once he claims all the power, and end this nonsense once and for all. The chances of that succeeding out weigh you all rushing into a fight with him.
<Junior> You're a fool.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Better not take long on this talking, I have this allergy to stalling."
<Chad`Winters> Why wait to take this body, do it now.
<Xanatos> And when you get all the power, how are we supposed to trust you with it?
<DeathStar> <Spade> Because he's not in this realm of existence.
<Red_Fox> "Then where is he?"
<Junior> Well, that means you're the primary threat here.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I don't care about making a new reality. I want people like Wind and Xevil out of ours so we can lead our own destinies.
<Chad`Winters> You're words aren't easily trusted Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arm.
<Red_Fox> "I..."
* Junior seemed as though he was about to take the shot, stopping short. "There has to be more."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Why? I care about Earth. My home. This mad man has perverted everything. First Wind. Now Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Spade> It has to end.
<Red_Fox> "Who?"
<Junior> There's a critical flaw with your plan, Spade.
<Chad`Winters> And why do you need to be in Erevis' body to do this.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then tell me.
<DeathStar> <Spade> To gain his trust. I'm to withhold this body long enough. Xevil is a cautious creature.
<Junior> In the end, you'll have the ultimate power if you go through with it. That puts you in a very, very similar position as our resident megalomaniacs.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Yes. Yet, you side with one right now, to get at Xevil. Do you trust him not to stab you in the back?
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes Wind.
<Junior> One thing at a time.
* Chad`Winters crouches down into a squatting position.
<DeathStar> <Spade> The fact is, I cannot let you pass. To gain Xevil's trust, I must stop you. If you surrender, you can live to help in the end. If you fight, I will stop you here.
<Chad`Winters> Do you have the beacon placed already in Xevil?
<Junior> Chad, Ariel. It's your call. Fight or flight?
<Red_Fox> "I'll follow your command, Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Your mistake is thinking this Xevil is your main threat.
<Chad`Winters> Do you have the beacon required to jump bodies in Xevil already?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Ariel.
<Red_Fox> "... then who is?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> The plans are in motion. That is all I will say. Will you surrender?
* Xanatos crosses his arms.
<Junior> The divergence.
<Chad`Winters> You say Xevil is a cautious creature, which means he knows you can jump bodies. I doubt you've had the ability to place your beacon in him.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna sighs in aggrivation. "Does anyone else see this as nothing but stalling?"
* Junior narrows his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade just waits patiently.
<Chad`Winters> Meaning your banking on hoping he'll let you close enough to do such a thing...
* Ariel pauses, then looks at Spade. "You attacked us, took one of our own... before you considered talking. Why should we believe a word of what you say?"
* Ariel unsheaths her sword.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Because, frankly, you all don't have what it takes to save our world.
<Junior> It seems their decision is to fight.
<Red_Fox> "We'll see who has what it takes."
* Red_Fox draws her beam saber
<DeathStar> <Spade> This battle is pointless. If you beat me or not, I win. If I win, I get my shot to save us all. If you kill me in this body, the divergence triggers instantly and I will get my chance.
* Ariel looks to Wind, "Can you do as you said?"
<Junior> Wind.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'll need time to gather the necessary energy. He's got more power right now than Erevis did.
* Xanatos just tilts his head, popping it slightly. "This chat is so nice. Brings back great memories."
* Junior looks back at him. "I don't know if anyone told you, but Kat is still in there."
<DeathStar> <Wind> .... I know.
<DeathStar> <Wind> But if we try to free more than of them, he could escape altogether.
<DeathStar> *more than one
<Junior> Do whatever you want. I'm just making sure we're on the same page--for now.
<Chad`Winters> Odd's are he'll escape the second he knows his fight is lost.
<Xanatos> So be it. We'll just have to deal with him later.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade draws one sword, one gun. She eyes them all dangerously with her green eyes
* Junior takes the shot suddenly.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Becareful. This power is ... uncanny.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Junior's arm moves completely against his will, and aims at ARiel. His figner hits the trigger.
<Chad`Winters> Explain. 6He begins charging his gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes widen.
* Junior strafes to the side, while his arm is controllerd, the rest of him isn't.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps back.
<DeathStar> 6* Junior suddenly is slammed face first into the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire group is suddenly hit by a massive weight
* Xanatos pulls up both of his pistols and begins firing toward Spade as he moves towards the left.
<DeathStar> 6* Xan's move is nulled.
* Xanatos is slammed down by the massive weight.
* Junior hits the groudn with a thud. "God.... damned... psionics..."
* Chad`Winters slams his hand against the floor, his arms quickly buckling from his weakened state
* Red_Fox does her best to remain standing. "Heh... like old times..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias squeels from off to the side, his leg's spreading as he struggles to fight it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Zephyr hit the ground.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *crawls across the floor toward Setsuna...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He...can't be this..strong....
* Junior grits his teeth, mentally cursing his humanity as he struggles to get to his feet.
* Ariel moves foward quickly, to broadside Spade with the sword.
* Xanatos tenses up and struggles to pull himself up to a kneeling position.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks to Myria
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel slams int othe ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Her hand begins to bend back unnaturally, about to break.
* Ariel owws.
* Chad`Winters struggles to shift his gun and fires a shot along the floor towards Spade.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you don't have a miniamp, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps to the side. The weight increases, about to break their bones.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *shoves a psiamp into Setsuna's hands then powers it up.
* Xanatos growls.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr whimpers.
* Junior yells through clinched teeth, trying to force himself up even now.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands calmly, not even exerting himself.
* Chad`Winters begins coughing violently.
* Sera lands from above, a sword formed in her hand, gleaming an odd silver color, "...STOP!"
<DeathStar> 6* Spade rips the rune blade from Ariel into his on hand
* Ariel struggles to keep her grip.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Stand aside, Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel fails.
<Sera> "...Let them go."
<DeathStar> <Spade> No.
* Junior closes his eyes, flaring them open as he stares at Spade from the ground.
<Sera> "...You can make them leave, there's no need to kill them!"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Stand. Aside.
* Xanatos eyes Sera, he is still struggling to pull himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pauses, tilting his head. He's charging up, and not in this battle.
<Sera> "...I'm sorry!" *she forms her gun and takes a shot*
<Junior> The Kat I knew so long ago had a stronger will than to let others run her life... sad she's so weak and sottish here as to let two do so directly.
* Red_Fox still struggles to stand
<DeathStar> <Spade> So am I.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna grins and starts towards Spade, nonchalantly. "Hey, Asshole."
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's arm suddenly punches herself.
* Chad`Winters shifts his hand again, firing an overcharged shot at one of the pillars corners
* Junior struggles harder and harder, albeit in probably vain to get to his feet.
* Sera groans and falls, te shot missing his head by inches.
<DeathStar> 6* The pillar cracks.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Wait, no!
<DeathStar> 6* Spade slams a psionic kick into Chad
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna holds the amp tightly in her free hand, and goes to punch Spade in the face.
<DeathStar> 6 *Spade ducks the punch.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps back, eyeing Setsuna.
* Chad`Winters rolls along the floor, firing another shot as he rolls towards the same spot.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna waves a finger.
<DeathStar> 6* The pillar shatters, and breaks the crystal. The psionic energy on the group weakens.
* Ariel stands, rubbing her finger.
* Sera stands, taking aim again, she fires at Spade's leg.
* Xanatos eyes what Chad was doing and decides to help out, he fires two charged shots at a seperate crystal.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps up, and brigns the blade down at Setsuna.
* Red_Fox tries to fire a shot at any crystal remaining
<DeathStar> 6* Another crystal breaks. Even weaker.
<Cassandra`> Well..well... *loads up a shot then fires at another crystal*
<DeathStar> 6* More weakened.
* Junior fires his gun at Spade's side as he comes down, forcing himself to move.
* Chad`Winters takes labored breathes as he lies there.
<DeathStar> 6* Only one left.
<Ariel> 8* Setsuna parrys with her blade, trying to kick Spade in the gut
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Zephy--ARGGHT IT HURTs
<DeathStar> 6* Spade recoils painfully.
<Sera> "...Spade! End this now!"
* Xanatos fires at the last crystal.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr destroys the last crystal. The psionic pressure is gone.
* Red_Fox struggles to her feet, glaring at Spade
<DeathStar> 6* Spade swings the sword, unleashing a holy attack on Setsuna.
* Junior jumps to his feet, sweat hitting the ground from his forehead.
* Xanatos pulls himself up to stand. "Well that was interesting."
* Chad`Winters pushes himself to his feet, stumbling backwards against the wall, slamming against it
<Xanatos> How you coming along Wind?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets the fuck out of the way of that.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Need more time.
* Ariel attempts to tackle Spade and reclaim her blade.
* Red_Fox rushes forward to punch Spade
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes running in from Spade's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns, and swings the blade, letting a wind attack hit Ariel. He gets punched by Fox.
* Xanatos nods and begins to strade towards the left, allowing the others to rush in for now.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps forward and pushes off the ground with his hand, kicking upwards at Spade's hand holding the sword.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves, not using weapons.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna has the wind rune, thank you very much. As she demonstrates on Spade.
<DeathStar> NRP: Ert, I meant Ice.
* Cassandra` lashes at Spade's sword wrist with her nanowires
* Junior stands, baring his teeth as he takes a shot with his pistol, thinking about rubber duckies and Tuesday nights with friends as a diversion.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is hit by the wind attack and falls back. The sword hits the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is shot. The armor absorbs it.
<Chad`Winters> Dias shifts around and kicks the sword towards Ariel.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna darts over and kicks the blade back to Ariel
* Sera is on the sword suddenly, she grabs it, running her hand over it swiftly before passing it to Ariel.
* Ariel ... gets the sword.
<Xanatos> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there, then suddenly the pale skin begins to get red, adn she begins to sweat, like with a fever.
* Sera looks to Ariel. "...I'm sorry mother, I tried."
* Xanatos narrows his eyes looking at Spade. "What's going on?"
* Sera looks to Spade.
<Red_Fox> "This doesn't look good.."
<Chad`Winters> He's either jumping or...Kat or Erevis is trying to take control.
* Junior looks at the Organ Grinder, thinking "Shit, still cooling."
* Sera blinks, "...Shit, MOVE!"
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's body twitches suddenly ,and the implant in her makes her his puppet.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Move? 6He looks at Sera dumbly.
* Ariel grits her teeth, trying to fight it.
<Sera> "...She's accessing Hyperspace, I think."
<Sera> "...He... whatever."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna resumes plan: Punch spade in the head.
* Red_Fox moves well back
* Xanatos glances at Ariel, then Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade ducks, and punches Setsuna bac.
* Sera summons a second bade.
<Chad`Winters> Dias shrugs and leap frogs over Setsuna, tackling spade
* Ariel fires a blast of holy energy at Sera from the blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps back, then grabs Chad and lifts him up psionically.
* Sera leaps aside, rolling.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade begins to break bones.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Why can't you just take a good hit to the face?!"
* Chad`Winters grimaces, his face suddenly contorting in pain
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> CHAD! 6She leaps at Spade, who nimbly leaps away.
* Sera takes a shot, aiming a stunner at Spade's head.
* Red_Fox circles Spade in the confusion, clearing her mind, before rushing forward to kick at the back of his head
* Xanatos runs in and dives at Spade.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna throws another windblast at Spade.
* Ariel darts towards Spade... and goes to stab Xanatos in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna hits Xan for her.
* Junior can't really shoot him when they all try to dog-pile Spade at once.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade holds Xan in place so ARiel can stab him
* Sera darts forward, her blade meeting the rune blade.
<Cassandra`> Watch out! *blasts Ariel with an EM burst*
<Sera> "...I said END THIS!"
* Xanatos widens his eyes and knees upward to hit Spade in the stomach, so he can twist out of the way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias runs around in an arc, coming in behind Spade. He kicks off and spin kicks towards Spade's side.
* Red_Fox kicks at Spade's head!
<DeathStar> 6* Spade holds Xan, I said.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: As in psionicaly
* Red_Fox kicks high
* Sera pushes Ariel back with her blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Fox adn Dias kick him and he drops Xan
* Xanatos falls to the ground and jumps forward, uppercutting towards Spade.
<Chad`Winters> Dias presses his leg then swings his fist in towards Spade's head.
* Ariel is disorientated by the blast and pushed back
<DeathStar> 6 * Spade's head is kncoked back and he hits the wall.
<Sera> "...Mother, break free! Your mind is strong enough!"
* Red_Fox moves to punch Spade once more, if he's not already out cold
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets fed up and just stands around Spade, focusing on keeping him/her inside the anti-psi field.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade knocks Fox away psionically.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands then dashes off, leaping foward and flipping foward, bringing his leg down towards Spade's head
* Ariel falls to one knee
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes Setusna dangerously, as only a woman can.
* Sera fires another stunner shot at Spade.
* Red_Fox flips, landing on her feet, before rushing forward again
<DeathStar> 6* Spade shrugs off the attacks and leaps away, putting the gun under her chin.
<DeathStar> <Spade> This is over.
* Xanatos slides to a halt, eyeing Spade.
<Xanatos> Don't do that.
* Chad`Winters breathes short quickl breathes as he kneels there, sweat pouring off his face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Watchout, everyone!
<Sera> "...Xevil is our enemy damnit! This is pointless!"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "It'll kill you too, won't it?"
* Junior holds up his gun, aiming at Spade with his narrowed eyes.
<Chad`Winters> Dias stops, staring at Spade. 1"Oh that's sooo cheating."
<DeathStar> <Spade> No, it won't. See you all later. 6He suddenly urks, and is lifted up by some force
<DeathStar> 6* Wind steps in, in energy form. "Lets remove you now."
* Xanatos widens his eyes, watching the event before him.
* Red_Fox watches, not acting, but ready to react if required
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...that's soooo not psionic power."
* Junior lowers his gun, looking back to Wind.
* Ariel looks to Wind, as she regains her feet
<DeathStar> 6* Wind concentrates
<Junior> If you can, erase him.
<DeathStar> <Wind> He's hiding behind the girls so I can't. Clever man.
* Sera watches, clearly hesitant.
<Xanatos> Then pull him out. We can deal with him then.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind roars and suddenly seemingly rips Erevis in half, but in actualty just made a second Erevis. The first one drops to the ground.
* Xanatos takes a step back, his eyes wide.
* Sera blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Wind keeps focusing, his arm shaking.
<Sera> "...Nice trick."
* Ariel moves to the side of the fallen one.
* Junior freezes his bullets, aiming at the Erevis still floating.
<Ariel> "...are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly rips something out of the floating one. It's a mass of energy.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Bet he's great at birthday parties."
<Red_Fox> "So, which one is Erevis?"
<Red_Fox> "I had to ask."
* Chad`Winters slumps onto his ass. He reaches into his tact belt, pulling out two pills again. He quickly downs them.
<DeathStar> 6* The being begins to form into some twisted hybred of Dominick, Erevis, and Spade. The floating Erevis hits the ground, and this being, no doubt Spade, suddenly psionically hits Widn into a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lands.
<DeathStar> <Spade> You wasted too much energy freeing the girls.
* Xanatos slides over to the two on the ground, he glances at Ariel. "Are they ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's Erevis opens her eyes. "I...where am I?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna just tries to shoot Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps to the side.
* Junior fires a frozen bullet at Spade mid-sentence, thinking about misnomers in gender.
<Ariel> "...still in the heart of the darkness."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is shot by the bullet, glancing down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off the ground and spin kicks at Spade as he glances down.
<Red_Fox> "Safe for now, though."
<DeathStar> 6* The other one sits up. Katrina holds her head. "Wow."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade staggers and hits the ground, coughing up fluids.
<Red_Fox> "... Kat?"
* Sera goes over to Spade. "..William..."
* Xanatos glances from Kat to Erevis. "Who is who?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Sera and Spade.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Ah, Serena...my shatterpoint...
* Junior leaps to the side, his mind filled with exotic squashes and entrance exams of foreign nations as he fires at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is shot again, coughing up more bluids.
<Red_Fox> "At a guess, Katrina said wow. It doesn't sound like something Erevis would say."
<Sera> "...You knew this was coming... didn't you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, a hand on Ariel. "...."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pulls himself forward, panting, back in human form.
<Red_Fox> "... Kat. ... I'm sorry."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...sadistic bastard, he is." *looks to Junior* "Stop a sec? I want to do something."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I ... knew...
* Sera blinks, staring, "...I can't walk your path William... I'm sorry."
<Junior> Unless you're going to kill him, do it NOW.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade's head tilts back and the life in his eyes begin fading. "Bastard locked out my jumping ability. Clever..."
* Junior takes this moment to reload his gun.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna walks up and... punches Spade in the fricken head.
* Sera holds up her hand to Junior.
* Sera catches Setsuna's hand.
<Sera> "...He's DYING.
* Xanatos rubs his mouth as he kneels there, watching Sera and Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Spade with hate. Zephyr just watches.
* Junior raises his loaded gun at Sera, firing through her hand at Spade's forehead.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......" *glares. Kicks him in the shin instead*
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina glances at Fox. "For?"
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade's brains explode out
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gasps.
* Sera stares at her hand, then Spade.
<Junior> No. He's dead.
<Red_Fox> "I... couldn't save you..."
* Sera stumbles back.
<Red_Fox> "I was too busy being blind."
<Sera> "...He was just saying... goodbye..."
* Junior holsters his gun, looking at Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches impassively, still leaning on Ariel.
<Cassandra`> Sera...get agrip...Spade chose his own path...he created this moment.
* Sera stands slowly.
<Junior> He made his choices.
<Sera> "...I know. I just wanted to say goodbye damnit."
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up, slowly.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Yeah but you didn't have to be an asshole about it."
* Ariel supports Erevis, finally relaxing some.
<Chad`Winters> If he wouldn't of, I would've.
<Sera> "...Are you people that fucking heartless?"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna mutters about people not appreciating a good punch to the head these days.
* Junior turns, walking away from Sera, looking to Wind who he assumes is embedded in the wall.
* Xanatos stands and offers a hand out to Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is in a daze ,watching Junior.
<Red_Fox> "Kat? Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind has freed himself, and says nothing.
* Sera sighs softly, "...I can lead you to the cells, Terra is still on board.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, staring at the two Katrina's. 1"Well hot damn, is it my lucky day or did I take a hit to the head and am just seeing doubles?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see you found Spade. 6She says slowly.
<Cassandra`> He was trying to kill us, you know...
<Sera> "...He was already dead."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...do I have to put them together again? *looks between Kat and Erevis*
<Junior> That's another off the list.... Also, you're softer than I am. Differences aside, you should be the one to talk to her.
* Chad`Winters steps up behind Cheryl, resting his hand on her shoulder.
* Junior buttons his holster closed, removing the ice rune.
* Ariel pauses, "...what about Hotaru?"
* Red_Fox eyes Dias dangerously. "... Dias, don't."
* Sera looks down
<Sera> "...Mom... I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chad. "I thought I would feel better with him dead."
* Xanatos frowns and glances at Junior again, shaking his head. "Kat." He says once to get her attention.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shut it crazy lady.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She tenses. Cheryl looks at Sera now.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Somethings are best left unsaid.
<Ariel> "......"
<Sera> "...Hotaru... I couldn't stop Xevil from killing her...
* Junior looks back to Wind.
<Chad`Winters> It never does....6He looks up at Serena.
<Sera> "...She died protecting the location of your homeworld."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her had, looking at Xanatos. She stands slowly. "Xan."
<Sera> "...I tried... I really tried..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes widen. Cheryl tenses even more
* Sera clenches her fists
<Xanatos> Kat. *he says as well, rubbing the back of his head, he glances at Sera's revalation and he frowns, looking down*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait, what? Hotaru's...she's dead?"
* Ariel tenses, traces of blood starting to form on her clenched fist.
<Sera> "...I lost my sister.... I came here... I ran like I did just to save her and I failed."
* Junior speaks quiet to where she can't hear them, "I am no monster, nor are you. But we are pitted against each other in the long run." *he closes his eyes* "I don't want her to see waht I've become." he walks past him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina listens to all the revelations, not reacting much, just trying to process what she saw. Erevis looks at Ariel, looking sad for her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're lying...you're lying!
* Red_Fox stays quiet, not sure what to say
<Sera> "He was already interrogating her when I arrived... she refused to tell him, no matter how much I plead with her... she wanted you to know... Ariel..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and punches her hand through a wall.
<Sera> "...WHY WOULD I LIE ABOUT HOTARU?"
* Sera looks irrationally angry.
<Xanatos> This isn't how things were supposed to be...*he says in a low voice, eyes on the floor*
<Sera> "...SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER ACCEPTED ME!"
* Red_Fox looks to Xan. "... you're right. It's not."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> YET YOU'RE ALIVE AND SHE'S NOT!
<Chad`Winters> I'm sorry, Cheryl. 6He begins moving over to Zephyr.
* Ariel gives Sera a COLD look at that. "...which way."
<Sera> "...Xevil... wanted me to live to suffer."
<Cassandra`> Focus on the real enemy!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just falls to her knees, putting a hand to her face, shaking with anger and sadness.
<Sera> "...I'm sorry Zephyr... I'm sorry it was her and not me."
* Chad`Winters kneels down beside Zephyr, slowly. He pauses for a second then places his hand on Zephyr's shoulder.
* Sera turns, "I'll lead you to the cells... we can still... save some people..."
<Red_Fox> "... things will be better when we stop Xevil. They have to be..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I'm so going to enjoy killing that asshole.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her hand in silence.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind watches them all, glancing down and away.
* Sera turns, revaling a large bruise on her neck that hasn't healed.
<Sera> "...No."
<Sera> "...I'm going to kill him."
<Sera> "...Xevil will die by my hands."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just like Spade was?
* Xanatos glances from Erevis and then Kat. "Well i'm glad you two are ok." He turns and steps away from the others, moving toward Wind.
<Sera> "...I took the shot. I'm not going to justify anything anymore."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her face, saying nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Ariel in concern. She probably best knows what Ariel's feeling, being bonded.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sorry, Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's not fair. It's not fair.
* Sera walks towards the halls leading to the cells.
* Ariel looks to Sera, speaking steady and flatly, "Where is Xevil?"
* Xanatos stops close to Wind and says in a low voice, "Thank you for bringing them back. You didn't have to do it, but you did. I'm in your debt."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I suppose half way their is still more than nothing at all...
<Sera> "...As far as I know, out of phase awaiting the divergence. Something you've just delayed now that Ere and Junior are here.
<DeathStar> <Wind> There is no debt. One day, we'll be enemies again. I just hope she lives a happy life.
<Chad`Winters> I know it's not, it never is Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Chad, crying into his shoulder.
<Red_Fox> "... I want to believe we can make it fair..."
* Chad`Winters shifts back slightly, not able to adjust to her sudden weight. He puts his hands around her, holding her.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind runs his hand through his black hair.
<Sera> "...If you want to save this reality, Erevis needs to concieve and soon. I can't find Michiru anywhere."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<Ariel> "......"
* Xanatos nods his head and steps back, glancing at the others. "Sera shut your mouth. Erevis doesn't have to do anything. Divergence or not."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Actually...Just guessing here and all...John was in the future right...Well
<Sera> "...This isn't a joke. The divergence will occur if Michi isn't born, that's why she was sent back."
<Red_Fox> "Michiru?"
<Xanatos> Then the divergence occurs.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know, he's not alive no, so I'm sure the divergence already started with John's death.
<Cassandra`> ...well...
* Ariel rests a hand on Erevis' shoulders.
<Sera> "...You've bought a little time then, that's it.
* Junior stumbles off in the hallway on the opposite direction, coughing painfully as he falls to his knees, spitting up blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind simply follows after Junior.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...why not take a bit of both, do some DNA splicing..."
<Red_Fox> "... would that work?"
<DeathStar> 6* Which happens not to be in the direction of the cells
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares, then hurries after the two.
* Junior would have otherwise out-walked Wind, but is however debilitated by the cancer closing off more and more of his lungs.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Erevis doesn't have to do anything." He turns and moves after the three that have left.
<Red_Fox> "Xanatos is right."
* Sera heads towards the cells.
* Red_Fox turns and follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there, watchign Zephyr cry into Chad's shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr, we should get going after the others.
* Junior stumbles back towards the shuttle, leaning against the walls.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Shuttle?
<Junior> NRP: Ship, whatever.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: That fell down
<DeathStar> 6* Wind eyes Junior as soon as he catches up. "Should I heal you long enough to continue?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to follow after Sera finally.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, standing up.
* Chad`Winters grunts as he pushes himself into a stand with her.
* Junior looks over his shoulder to Wind, "No...." he takes two incredibly labored breaths, the ice rune dropping the the ground with a ting against the metal floor. He glances down at it and then back to Wind.
* Sera walks silently, trying but failing to seem strong.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind picks it up. "So you're going to stop here? Who will stop me then?"
* Chad`Winters moves with Zephyr after the others.
<Junior> Now you're just daring me...
<DeathStar> <Wind> You're the yin to my yang, apparantly.
<Junior> I'm... not immortal anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Wind> No, you're not.
* Ariel just closes her eyes, and falls against the wall, as the room is near emptied.
* Junior turns, resting his back to the wall, hurking and coughing into the blood stained cloth from his pocket--now having two colors on it.
* Sera goes to Terra's cell, opening the door.
<DeathStar> NRP: era isn't near there yet
<DeathStar> NRP: Bad Sera. Assuming. BAd.
<Sera> NRP: I assumed 10 minutes was enough, sowwy.
<DeathStar> NRP: BAD
* Sera walks along.
<Sera> NRP: *gives DS a cookie in apology*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels beside her, still clad in battle armor that belongs to the enemy. "...I am sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at it.
<Junior> Hard to... be your yin if I'm only going to be around for... *serepticiously counts on his fingers* A little while longer?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hopefully this will end before your few weeks expires.
* Xanatos glances around. "I thought they were leading us to Xevil..." he arches a brow and glances at Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans against a hallway wall. "No."
<Ariel> "...there are losses in every war..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes. But she was your family. And I am sorry it happened.
<Xanatos> Well then I just went with the wrong group...
* Junior looks over to Katrina, grimacing darkly. He curses himself endlessly not not being able to smell, or hear her coming as he used to be able to. Even more so for not being able to hear her heart bea---no. That was a long time ago. He shakes his head and looks to her, banishing his inner monologue.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We should catch up, then, right? 6Katrina turns and moves back the way they came.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances over his shoulder.
* Sera looks back at Cheryl
<Xanatos> I'd say so. *he moves with her*
<Ariel> "...thank you. I... I'll make sure she's not forgotten. That's all I can do now..."
* Ariel is trying to reassure herself more than anything else.
<Junior> I... should go see if I can get the ship ready to fly out of here. *grits his teeth painfuly, standing on his own*
<DeathStar> <Wind> That ship will never fly again.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And if you got away, it would be shot down.
<DeathStar> <Wind> There's only one escape - ending Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will help you with that. 6She promises.
<DeathStar> -END-
