<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
<DeathStar> Location: Xevil's Battlestation
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's ragtag group of people are still walking the hallways, with Ariel/Erevis slightly behind them, and Xan/Kat slightly behind those two, and with Wind and Junior somewhere.
* Seraphna heads towards the cells.
* Xanatos has his arms behind his back as he goes, his eyes locked onto the ground.
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Chad`Winters glances down at Zephyr as he walks beside her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along to the side of Sera, having not spoken. Zephyr remains way behind Sera's group, refusing to look in her direction
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks along, his hands behind his back as he looks around.
* Seraphna stops before one cell, shaking a bit, before tearing herself away from it, it's opena dn quite empty, she walks deeper into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches up to her incredibly long hair, idleling wondering why Erevis never cuts it, and ties it into a ponytail.
* Xanatos glances at her. "Not used to such long hair, eh?" He smiles weakly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really, no.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias yawns, stretching his arms out wide.
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the cell block, they would find armed battalions of Tsivrixsh waiting - seems Xevil predicted their course.
<Cassandra`> ...heads up, people.
* Seraphna narrows her eyes, swords igniting.
* Junior catches his breath, thumbing at the ice rune in his pocket. "Fancy little thing, that..." he leans against the wall, lagging behind as he postulates on the happenings of the last twenty minutes. "I really, really shouldn't.... no... Wait. Yes. Another time, then." he speaks to himself as he steadies his weight on both feet, walking to slowly catch up with the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly smiles wickedly.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind ignores him talking to himself.
<Seraphna> "...You're in the way of me and my friends... move aside or die."
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr. 6He motions to the Tsiv in front of them, his hand raising his gun forward.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh respond by lobbing something at Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns
* Seraphna leaps back, hitting somethign on her wrist.
<DeathStar> 6* The object lands, rolls along toward Cheryl and the others, and explodes.
* Seraphna rushes through as it goes off, blades ready.
* Xanatos grabs Kat and pulls her behind him as he slides against the wall. "Stay behind me." He pulls up his pistols.
* Chad`Winters twists around, sliding his back towards the explosion infront of Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera rushes into a dozen shots.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs Cheryl pulling her to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl urks.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Xanatos.
* Red_Fox keeps back, away from the explosion
* Seraphna lets the shield wear down quickly, closing into melees as she starts going for limbs and necks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis arrives at the group finally, holding Junior' saber ready
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Time for some more action, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh keep firing, and her shield drops - their fire power is incredible, it seems. It leaves Sera vulnerable.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She activates her whip in response.
* Chad`Winters turns around and begins firing shots towards the Tsiv, aiming for the neck.
* Seraphna taps her other wrist, three objects dropping about the Tsiv's feet as she leaps back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fall back
* Seraphna grins as the grendaes go off as she flies back.
* Xanatos raises his pistols and releases a charged shot for two different tsiv heads.
<DeathStar> 6* The grenades miss and just create smoke, hiding the Tsivrixsh from sight
* Junior 's ears perk, he glances over to Wind. "Now, I know you hear that too, since you took my hearing from me. It sounds like they're in some trouble, ahead."
* Seraphna notes smoke tends to be a two way effect, she shifts one sword into a gun, waiting.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Fighting.
* Chad`Winters grunts and drops low, firing shots through the smoke, along the edges.
<DeathStar> 6* The shots start coming in - and they're not random
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides back to avoid being hit. Zephyr ducks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps back, hopping from side to side to avoid shots.
* Xanatos uses his eye to look through the smoke and pulls Kat down as he releases charged shots into the smoke, for the heads of various Tsiv.
<Junior> Go on ahead without me. I'll come as soon as I've caught my breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Xanatos. "Uh, you don't have to keep yanking me around."
* Red_Fox ducks back, looking for surveilance.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods and moves on.
* Seraphna follows the line of fire and starts taking shots back, using thier own attacks as aiming guides.
<Xanatos> Sorry. Habit.
<DeathStar> 6* Since Sera didn't dodge, apparantly, she's hit.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Are you alright, Mr. Junior....?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is shot, also.
* Chad`Winters drops a clip, quickly sliding in another one. He pauses, waiting to find a shot.
* Seraphna steps back, continuing to fire, her other shield as previously mentioned up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias keeps hopping about. 1"God damn people with guns!" 6He rolls to the side.
* Cassandra` returns fire!
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's shield was broken - see above.
* Xanatos slides against the wall and a bullet slides by his arm, he hisses and releases two more charged shots toward Tsiv enemy weak points.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps sliding. "Dammit to hell."
<Seraphna> * Yes, the first one was... someone's not reading.
<DeathStar> 6* All shields, bitch
* Seraphna dodges the,
* Junior looks over at Myria, blinking and wondering when she popped up. "My senses really aren't what they used to be." he blinks, adressing her, "Not really. My body's just sort of eating itself from the inside out--to be blunt. And don't call me Mr. It's reduntant to have my name reduced to not one, but two titles."
* Chad`Winters glances back at Erevis. 1"Erevis, you strong enough to slam the enemy back?
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis, who has been busy using her psionics to dodge, glances at Chad
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ok...
<Red_Fox> "How are they doing this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws her hand forward, creeting a psionic repulse, sending the shots back - but it'll only last a few seconds.
* Chad`Winters glances at her then Kat. 1"Kat, can you use the same powers that Erevis can use? Her psionics?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not like that.
* Xanatos pulls out two silver disc and tosses them toward the disoriented tsiv, he waits for the appropriate time before detonating them.
<Chad`Winters> A shame. 6He slides his hand along his tact belt procuring two small orbs he quickly hurls them down the hallway and through the smoke.
<DeathStar> 6* Another explosion can be heard.
<DeathStar> 6* And another.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *covers her hears*
* Xanatos now uses his eye to check for heat signatures to see how many remain.
<DeathStar> 6* Several, but they're having to regroup.
<Chad`Winters> Xan, be my eyes. 6He charges his gun up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes aim herself.
* Seraphna stays back and waits for a good shot...
* Xanatos motions to Chad, the direction of each of the enemies.
<Chad`Winters> Kat, if you can pick them up. It'll help. 6He begins firing directed shots at where Xan points.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires at the indicated directions.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back against a wall.
* Xanatos also fires shots when he isn't pointing out enemy locations.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina points out enemy locations, feeling their emotional state.
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim, continuing firing.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, Xan, Zephyr, and Chad kill the remaining nes.
* Seraphna looks to Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans over to Cheryl. 1"God it sucks when your enemy uses guns, eh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm.
<Seraphna> "...Any trianing with ranged weapons? I could try handing you one of mine."
* Xanatos holds his hand up to cease fire. "All Clear."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll use what I have.
* Chad`Winters takes a step forward then stumble over to the side wall, his hand pressing against it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves up, putting a hand on Chad
<DeathStar> 6* The smoke clears.
<Xanatos> Take it easy Chad. *he steps past him with his arms raised, moving on down the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows after Xanatos.
* Seraphna stands again, sighing as she pulls off a bracers, crushing it, "...Damn tech..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the holes in the armored walls of the hall.
* Chad`Winters looks back at Zephyr, giving her the, I know I know look.
* Red_Fox follows quietly. "We'll need to be more careful in future."
<Seraphna> "...Yeah... down this hall."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along the hallway toward the cells as well now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why do you think there's holes in the wall?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Their shots. Blew right through them. If one of those hits our heads, we're done for.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're kidding.
<Seraphna> "...GLad I had the shield... damn."
<Xanatos> If any shot hits our head we're done for. *he slides up to a corner and glances around quickly to see if there are anymore enemies.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach another corridor of the cells - Terra's room being at the far end. However, another battlion is wiating.
<DeathStar> 6* They fire a rocket at Xan, who's in the lead.
* Xanatos motions back to the others that another group is waiting around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis yanks Xanatos back psionically.
* Xanatos widens his eyes, being yanked back.
* Seraphna leaps back.
* Chad`Winters takes in a deep breath, moving down after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws herself backwards. Cheryl and Zephyr stare, not being near the front, and watch the rocket smash into a wall, blowing up
* Red_Fox stays quiet
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh they so do not play fair.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...well guarded prisoners."
* Xanatos breaths a bit heavy from shock and glances at Erevis, nodding. "Thank you." He pulls himself up and glances at Chad. "We need a plan."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the bend in the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> The bends our advantage they can't hit us if they see us but it'll be harder for us to hit them back.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands back up. "Right. I'm staying in the back until I get a weapon."
<Seraphna> "..It's Xevil, he knew I'd want to free them."
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his tact belt, pulling out two small orbs.
* Xanatos slides his hand in his pocket and tosses Kat a beam saber. "For defense." He notes, glancing back to Chad. "How many more of those orbs do you have? Better yet. Do you have any smoke bombs?"
* Cassandra` readies a concussion cannon.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches it.
* Red_Fox holds out a smoke bomb
<Chad`Winters> He probably expected you to run...6He looks over at Xan. 1"I'm well ahead of you.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over at Junior.
* Junior holds out his pistol to her.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at Cass, then inches forward and throws a smokebomb around the corner*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes the pistol as well. "Thanks." 6She eyes it, briefly remembering how well he used it on Spade.
* Chad`Winters hops forward, hurling a smoke orb along the bend, using it to bounce it down the corridor
<Junior> Don't break it.... it's an antique.
<DeathStar> 6* Ninja smoke.
* Chad`Winters grabs the other orb then hurls it through the smoke.
<DeathStar> 6* An epxlosion - well before it should have.
<Chad`Winters> Somethings not right...
* Junior takes the Organ Grinder, clicking the safety off as he loads up a rocket clip.
<Seraphna> "...Hm..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *gets back away out of where any rockets might hit*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think they can still see.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans against a wall, thinking hard.
* Chad`Winters pulls a clip out and tosses it at the bend.
* Cassandra` aims and fires her concussion blast down the corridor, letting the shockwave ricochet around the bend.
<DeathStar> 6* The clip is shot.
<Chad`Winters> Yep, they can still see.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs* "Where are the blasterbombs when you need them?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh these guys sooo cheat.
<DeathStar> 6* The concussion blast flies through the smoke. Did it hit?
<Xanatos> Yeah. It seems so. *he releases a charged shot around the corner toward a Tsiv arm, to disarm it.*
* Junior kneels onto one knee, firing the lasers of the OG into the smoke at what would be about waist level.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Your attacks are hitting. I sense dismay."
<Red_Fox> "Then we're doing it right."
* Xanatos throws out a silver disc towards the batallion, hoping to use it as a distraction, and if they don't shoot it, he would detonate it to kill them.
<DeathStar> 6* The batallion isn't shot - seens the earlier attacks caused some trouble.
<DeathStar> *disc
* Chad`Winters leans agasint the wall, using it for support.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans around, firing.
* Seraphna leans around, firing after Zephyr's volley from anotehr position.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait! Stop shooting!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr halts.
* Seraphna pulls back.
* Xanatos glances at Kat, his firing halting. "What's up?"
<Chad`Winters> What's up Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Your friend. I sense her fear. I think they're using her as a shield.
<DeathStar> 6* The smoke begins to clear finally.
<Junior> So, no rockets?
* Chad`Winters looks over at Xan, staring like only someone who despised another could.
* Xanatos eyes Chad for a moment before glancing around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh have Terra in front of them.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I thought the Tsiv were all about honor.
<Seraphna> "...Those assholes..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *peeks around to count the uglies*
<DeathStar> 6* 10 are left.
* Xanatos frowns. "Terra..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses. "I think I can get to her if I move fast enough. Can you all fire over me?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You sure you're going to be safe?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Junior> Go.
<Xanatos> What if they just kill her before you get there?
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl, then nods.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You idiot...
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *considers... if she could take the one holding her down, could she escape?*
<DeathStar> 6* Cherly dashes around the corner. The Tsivrixsh take aim, then stare a moment, dumbfounded.
* Junior provides cover fire with his "laser".
* Chad`Winters leans around the corner, firing shots around Cheryl.
* Xanatos rounds after Cheryl, firing beyond her toward the tsiv, taking careful aim to not hit Terra.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fire back, and around Terra.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *peeks around the corner and lays down covering fire*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tackles Terra and her captor to the ground, then punches the Tsivrixsh as the shots fly over.
* Seraphna moves around, tkaiung careful aim, she fires a barrage of shots.
* Chad`Winters begins firing overcharged shots now, moving sideways
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh are shot by the attacks. They turn and move into a cell to hide
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What a psycho."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's nuts.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna then idly wonders where Billy is
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias dashes around the bend and towards Cheryl
* Xanatos advances now, firing shots at those as they flee.
<Seraphna> "...She's my big sister."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're nuts.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Sera.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *moves to punch the Tsiv herself*
* Seraphna nods, agreeing.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks around Sera, looking a bit angry. Erevis just stares, not really getting the exchange.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is punched.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh quickly turn on the cell for protection - and lock themselves in at the same tiem
* Seraphna moves in to join Cheryl.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Thanks.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps up and over Cheryl and Terra, twisting and bringing his heel down on the Tsiv's face
* Seraphna pouts, she missed the fun.
* Xanatos comes to a stop, eyeing the Tsiv that are locked inside. "There anyway to suck out their air or something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Xan.
* Xanatos glances at Kat. "Err...joking." He looks back at the cell.
<DeathStar> 6* There is a red button Xan could try pushing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to look at cheryl, quickly looking Cheryl over
<Seraphna> "...Don't see why not."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel, who hasn't said much.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *takes deep breaths*
* Xanatos eyes his, his eyes getting a bit big. "....Can I push the red button?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Did you get hit Cheryl?
* Junior shakes his head. "If they're so backed into a corner, offer them safe passage as an exchange.
<Xanatos> NRP: it*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Red_Fox> "For all we know, it could be the self-destruct."
* Chad`Winters looks around for the controls on the outside
<Seraphna> "...Lock them in and leave them there."
<DeathStar> 6* The red button. The controls themselves need a key to open the cell
* Xanatos glances at Fox. "....I guess we can't take the chance." He glances around, then looks to Chad. "On to Xevil now?"
<Seraphna> "...Though it'd probably be mercy to kill them, when Xevil finds them."
* Chad`Winters aims his gun at the controls and fires at them.
<DeathStar> 6* The controls spark.
<Red_Fox> "That works."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches the exchange.
<Chad`Winters> Done. Now we find Xevil.
* Chad`Winters looks back for Wind.
<Xanatos> Sera or Junior. Whoever knows this place better. Lead the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind is not around, it appears.
* Junior takes the lead, shaking his head.
* Chad`Winters pulls out two pills, swallowing them quickly.
* Xanatos moves after Junior, holding his pistols steady.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That was so freaking cool Cheryl. 6He leaps up and down beside her.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *looks over to Kat, then Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She just looks tired and walks after Junior.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Psycho." *corrects Dias*
<Seraphna> "...Not honestly sure where he is, I was only allowed to walk certain areas."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Takes one to know one.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her face, then walks along.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks on, glancing at a torture room door.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna just nods to Dias, and smiles.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Where's Hotaru, anyway?"
* Junior moves ominously through the corridors, carrying the giant gun he bought for 5 credits off of a malcontent prepubessant demoness. His face remains stoic, though his mind fairly obviously churns about what moves will have to be made soon.
<Ariel> "......" *urge to kill*
<Red_Fox> "... don't ask."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel.
* Seraphna shakes her head at Terra.
* Chad`Winters glances at the Torture Room then at Zephyr.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* As they go to exit the cell block, they would find another battalion waiting.
<Seraphna> "...Bloody hell."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes to a stop. He just utter's a curse word in response.
<Xanatos> Junior go low. I'll go high.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "They don't give up."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Anyone got any grenades?"
<Junior> I'll go boom.
<Cassandra`> I got plenty.
<Chad`Winters> Dias looks at Terra, fear appearing on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes.
<Red_Fox> "None for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves away from Terra, then takes aim.
* Xanatos sighs and falls back some, releasing charged shots toward the enemies as he does.
* Junior fires rockets from the OG, bought with Xanatos's initial investment. How he loves laundering money he thinks, fireing on the batallion as the missiles leave twisty smoke trails in the air.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemies open fire - everyone is in dan---never mind. The epxlosions blow away the batallion
* Chad`Winters raises his gun, then stops.
<Seraphna> "...Nice."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... and you think I'm trigger happy?"
* Xanatos stops. "I was meaning the laser, but that works well too." He glances back, then moves to step forward.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...okay. Compared to him, Cheryl is flowery."
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos steps on an eyeball.
* Xanatos makes a face at the icky squish. "Ewww."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the hallway full of body parts and organs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just closes her eyes.
* Junior throws the oversized cannon over his shoulder, stepping over the sizzling body parts of the battalion as he moves onward. "Watch your step. Xevil tends to get premenstral if you track blood into his throne room."
<Red_Fox> "... I did not miss this kind of imagery."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grunts and walks through the organs and body parts.
* Seraphna walks through unphased by the carnage as well.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias walks beside Cheryl, enjoying his lack of seeing colors right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the body parts, looking for safe places. Sadly, she sees none
* Ariel doesn't seem to notice... then again, she seems a little dazed right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along without any complaint.
* Xanatos just walks along, making a face ever now and then when he hears an particularly gruesome squish.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *walks through, herself, too edgy to care about a bit of blood of guts*
* Chad`Winters moves ahead, glancing back at Zephyr then keeps moving.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna considers resorting to ninja arts to get across, but then notices he even coated the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Something drops on Xan's head. Who wants to know what body part that was.
* Red_Fox walks through, managing to avoid stepping on any body parts somehow
* Xanatos pauses and just closes his eyes. "Don't tell me what that was."
<Chad`Winters> Dias does.
* Junior kicks his feet a little, intestines having caught on his heel like a bit of toilet paper leftover from the bathroom. He drags his feet, cleaning them of blood on the metal flooring.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the other side, her clothes red now. She walks along, glancing down another hallway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Clear.
* Xanatos eventually makes it beside Cheryl. "I need a shower." He notes with a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes it across, looking a bit illish
* Junior reaches down and grabs the highest ranking hand of a Tsiv he can, glancing to Cheryl as he holds it up. "Security access."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... sorry I freaked out back on... the ground."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I always knew you looked good in grey. 6He scratches the back of his head.
* Ariel crosses without even thinking about it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just takes it.
<Seraphna> "...What matters is that you're alive, Terra."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... I guess so.."
* Junior moves ahead, putting one of his hands into his pockets as he rounds the corner. "This place is a bit bigger than I remeber from last time."
<DeathStar> 6* As they continue, they reach a hallway full of grass. Cheryl pauses, eyeing it. "I..."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs in relief and uses the grass to clean her boots.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> When did villian's get green thumbs?
* Xanatos archs a brow and closes his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina freezes, and steps away.
<Seraphna> "...Xanatos?"
* Chad`Winters looks at Katrina, eyeing her oddly.
<Chad`Winters> It's grass.
* Seraphna has also stepped back.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Why do I get the feeling it's going to attack?"
* Seraphna eyes Chad.
<Red_Fox> "... don't be stupid. It's grass. Why would it attack?"
* Xanatos opens his eyes again, frowning. "It...ignored me..."
* Junior turns to the others with a furrowed brow, tilting his head questioningly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Dude, you can't talk to plants...6He steps onto the grass, moving across it.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...I have no words for this."
<Seraphna> "...I think we should find another way."
<Red_Fox> "... I didn't know grass could talk?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows Dias.
<Red_Fox> "Oh for heaven's sake. It's GRASS."
<Junior> It's like you people have never seen a xen garden before.
* Chad`Winters shrugs and stops beside Zephyr, waiting for her to clean her boots off.
* Junior moves on.
<Xanatos> I can talk to plantlife. Something I recieved from the other earth.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just walks along, not getting what the coversion is about
* Ariel walks across.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there.
* Red_Fox follows Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* On the metal part
* Xanatos glances at Katrina. "What's wrong?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I can talk to woman, but atleast we know my talent is real.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, nothing. Nothing. Just watching.
* Seraphna looks at Kat
<Xanatos> Watching?
* Xanatos glances at the others.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Watching?"
<Seraphna> "...You're thinking what I'm thinking?"
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Cheryl enter a garden like area, with trees and benches, and a rock in a sand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along finally.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Someone has a twisted sense of humor?"
<Junior> That would require you to think.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oooh, a rock in the sand.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, seeing it's safe, finally follows.
* Chad`Winters moves alongside Zephyr. 1"How you holding up?"
* Seraphna does as well.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Better than you.
* Xanatos rubs his chin then moves along as well.
* Junior heads into the garden area. "Peaceful."
<Chad`Winters> Ouch.
<DeathStar> 6* The rock seems to be important. As it's alone in sand.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *heads over cautiously*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think that rocks important, Cheryl. But I can't put my finger on why...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Because you're an idiot.,
* Red_Fox heads over to the sand, and quietly meditates on the situation
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No no...My gut insticts tell me it's very important.
<DeathStar> 6* The sand suddenly attacks Fox, dragging her down.
<Junior> Just don't touch it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's different.
<Red_Fox> "The hell?!"
* Red_Fox struggles to get free
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snaps his hand out trying to grab Red Fox's hand.
* Red_Fox grabs Dias' hand
<DeathStar> 6* The power of the sand is all powerful - but Dias grabbing Fox slows her being consumed.
* Cassandra` fires a grappling line to reel them back out of the sand.
<Junior> *calmly* Everyone, there's a trick to getting out of here. You must have inner peace. The sand senses discontentment.
* Ariel shoots the ground between Red and the rock, seeing if that does anything.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Could use....a little help here.
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: So she shot the sand?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Junior
<DeathStar> 6* the sand is shot. It gets pissed, so it launches the rock at Ariel.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
<Chad`Winters> Dias begins sliding towarsd the sand with Red Fox, his body leaning way back.
* Xanatos glances at Junior. "You serious?" He shakes his head and moves forward to hellp Dias pull Fox out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's line lassos Dias and Fox.
* Cassandra` starts pulling.
* Ariel steps out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandras mighty bionic arms free the two and they reach the safety of grass.
<Chad`Winters> 6Who would of thought that would be the day.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Right... well. This is fucked up. Can we take the other route?"
<Chad`Winters> Dias slams on his ass with a thud
<Junior> *glares at Xan* It's a fucking xen garden. I'm made of fucking inner peace, damnit.
<Red_Fox> "I told you the grass was safe."
* Xanatos eyes Junior. "Sure you are. You weird...now human used to be alien fella, you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances between Xan and Junior, not saying aword
<Chad`Winters> Is discontentment even a word?
<Cassandra`> I prefer my grandfather's zen garden...the sand didn't get violent.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be meditating as they all play.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the sand. "How did he train it to attack?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up looking over at the sand.
<Chad`Winters> A rolled up news paper and treats?
* Junior shakes his head, he looks back to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Seriously?
<Xanatos> I think that was sarcasm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her nose.
<Chad`Winters> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl exists the garden and back into the hallways, which are now bigger than before, and more luxurious
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and moves after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just shakes her head, closing off her empathic abilities, due to the high strain of emotions. She walks after Cheryl
* Junior walks calmly after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, seeing they're all done, and follows after them.
* Xanatos glances at Cheryl and Dias, moving after them. "I have a headache." He notes idly.
* Red_Fox calmly follows
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Take something.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm sorry...I don't speak stupid. What did you say?
* Seraphna stays near Cheryl
* Xanatos slams his fist down into the back of Dias' head. "I said. You're a great person Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces
* Chad`Winters flexes his hands as he takes a deep breath.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *moves to leave the garden*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along. As Fox walks, the sand seems to follow
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' body crunches down from the blow. He grits his teeth as he looks over at Xan, a sadistic smile on his face.
* Red_Fox eyes the sand
* Chad`Winters moves along behind Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* The sand stops moving.
<Xanatos> I wuv you Dias. *he smiles*
* Ariel leaves the sand, heading after the others
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I don't love you. 6He swings his fist into Xan's crotch.
<Junior> Xanatos, Dias.
* Xanatos doubles over. 'Ohhhhh....I hate you...." he groans.
* Junior stops, looking back at them.
* Red_Fox heads out, noting the position of the sand as she does
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Much better. 6He stands upright and resumes moving after Cheryl, glancing back at Jr. 1"Yes old man?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk along, they find Wind standing around, glancing at what appears to be two large black doors, impeding them. Nine buttons are lined up, with writing above the buttons. The first is lit up.
<Junior> Knock it off.
<Red_Fox> "Elevators?"
* Junior walks up, noticing the doors---and Wind.
* Xanatos pulls himself upright, holding his crotch. "Shut up Junior."
<DeathStar> <Wind> He has an energy field blocking even me from walking through.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bah, old people always ruin us young peoples fun.
<Red_Fox> "Ah."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps up beside Wind and Junior. She glances at the two. Wind does his best to look straight ahead.
<Chad`Winters> I'll have to get his recipe for it. 6He looks at Wind. 1"9 symbols....A lock, I'm assuming.
<Junior> A pattern lock?
<Red_Fox> "At a guess, there are eight more switches. Once we get them all, the door will open."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Most likely.
* Seraphna looks over the writing, language?
* Xanatos dusts his hands off. "Oh I can open this easy."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind motions
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you're not touching anything.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Please, do so
<Xanatos> ...I was joking. I couldn't open an unlocked door.
* Red_Fox looks over the door. She's good at getting into places she shouldn't
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He's not lieing, he once got locked inside his own shuttle.
<Seraphna> "...What the hell is this..."
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<Seraphna> "...It's Tsiv but not the standard dialect."
<Xanatos> You locked me inside that shuttle!
<Junior> It's standard enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Agents of evil kidnap Cassandra and Myria while the others talk.
<Chad`Winters> What's it say then?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Odds and Ends.
<Red_Fox> "Bloody 'ell..."
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *says that*
<Chad`Winters> ....6He eyes Wind.
<DeathStar> <Wind> You asked.
<Red_Fox> "Odds and ends?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I left the keycode in the ignition.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Well, someone open it."
* Junior narrows his eyes, studying it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans against the wall, while the thinkers debate it.
* Xanatos shakes his head at Dias and steps up, eyeing a button. "Let's just push this one."
<Chad`Winters> What the hell's that supposed to mean...6He moves over to the buttons, looking at them.
* Red_Fox studies it herself
<DeathStar> <Wind> The buttons themselves are also labeled 1 through 9
<Xanatos> Anyone know Xevil's birthday. That's always the code...
<Ariel> Setsuna> *tries pressing button #9*
<DeathStar> 6* The button clicks in.
* Chad`Winters hits the 3rd button next.
<DeathStar> 6* It clicks in.
* Junior watches them, his arms folded.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *competitively presses 7*
<DeathStar> 6* It clicks in.
* Xanatos steps back, eyeing Chad and Setsuna.
* Red_Fox presses 5
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't think I like this.
* Xanatos backs away more. "You're not the only one."
<DeathStar> 6* It clicks in
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Okay, how many people do we have doing the button pressing here?"
* Chad`Winters hits the 2nd and then the 8th.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *gets away from the door, annoyed*
* Red_Fox presses 6, then 4.
<DeathStar> 6* The door begins to unlock, but suddenly relocks
<Xanatos> You broke it!
* Chad`Winters stares at Red Fox, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 6* A wall panel opens up and a giant robot mech emerges.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not good, not good.
<Seraphna> "...Crap."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind turns to look at it
<Red_Fox> "I guess I shouldn't have pressed 4."
* Junior looks over at the giant robot mech.
<Xanatos> Oh hell. Junior, rock it quick!
<Xanatos> NRP: rockit*
<Chad`Winters> You shouldn't of hit 6 first you idiot.
<Xanatos> NRP: rocket*
<Red_Fox> <Terra> At this range?! *keeps WELL back*
<Junior> I'm out of rockets. I think.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to look at the giant robot mech
<Red_Fox> "Oh, like you knew the code."
* Xanatos is backed up. "I'm back far enough." He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I think Chad was correct.
* Chad`Winters cocks his gun, eyeing the robot mech now.
* Junior reaches his hand out, pressing 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Then 2 and 8. In that order. Eying the robot.
* Seraphna shifts her other sword into a gun, looking for a weak point in the mech.
<DeathStar> 6* Another wall panel opens and another mech steps out
<DeathStar> <Wind> ...
<Xanatos> Oh good job Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* They both take aim.
<Red_Fox> "Oh, lets just bring out more mechs, why don't we."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances back adn forth.
<Junior> You won't know. One of them could be a good mech.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back.
* Chad`Winters shoves Jr to the side the hits 1,9,3,7,5,2,8,4,6
<Xanatos> ....That are taking aim at us...
<Red_Fox> "Unlikely."
<DeathStar> 6* The door oens
<Chad`Winters> Everyone go now.
<DeathStar> 6* They open fire
* Chad`Winters turns, moving quickly towards the door
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws up a psionic shield
* Red_Fox darts inside
<Ariel> Setsuna> *gets through that door*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dashes in. Cheryl bounces back through it
* Junior walks inside, just barely dodging the shots.
* Seraphna rushes through.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks in.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Time to go. 6He dashes in.
* Ariel grabs Erevis and gets her inside
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *takes a deep breath, then rushes through*
* Xanatos steps inside.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive -- on the planet Tsivrixsh? The black ground and hazy air fills the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stabs the door panel on the other side and the doors shut.
<Seraphna> "...Right..."
<Red_Fox> +*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oops, something fell on keyboard
* Chad`Winters takes several labored breathes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans on the door. "Nice job, Cad."
<Chad`Winters> Setsuna confirmed my thought.
* Junior rubs his shoulder, where he was shoved aside.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pants, having used a lot of energy to stop the guns.
<Junior> Fair enough. *he turns, moving forward*
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "What was that?"
* Seraphna looks at Chad, archign a brow.
* Xanatos places a hand on Erevis' shoulder. "You ok?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I so could've figured it out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Yes. I will regain my energy in a little while." 6* Katrina eyes Xan and Erevis, then moves on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Where are we?
<Seraphna> "...Slasher... when did you ever get this winded... you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind studies the area. "A simulator."
<Red_Fox> "So, this isn't real at all."
* Xanatos nods his head. "Don't strain." He smiles weakly and then turns and steps forward.
* Red_Fox laughs lightly
* Chad`Winters glances up at Serena, taken off-guard by her using that name.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *stares*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind looks up at the star filled sky.
* Seraphna blinks back at him, seemingly haven't noticed her own choice of name.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the smile and moves on, her face going blank again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Simulator...I wonder if he loaded in any girls.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly girls appear in the distance, calling to Dias.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wuh?
* Chad`Winters just grunts. 1"If this is a simulator then he owns this world.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her nose.
* Xanatos reaches out and grabs Dias by the shoulder. "It's probably a trap, you know."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hot damn! I think I'm in love...
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be naked, too
<DeathStar> 6* But he has to get closer to find out
* Xanatos eyes them ahead. "Are they naked?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly falls over from over excitement.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "Xevil's world..."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stares grimly, then glances at Junior.
<Xanatos> I wish he had some food here. I'm hungry.
* Seraphna eyes Wind a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Food appears on a table.
<Chad`Winters> Dias suddenly flips onto his feet and dashes towards the girls.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dias! Stop!
* Xanatos widens his eyes and eyes the food. "Holy...is that a whole Turkey!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Turkey makes you sleepy.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "I wish I had a starship."
<DeathStar> 6* A starship appears off to the side.
<Xanatos> ....But...Turkey is good...*he frowns, staring at it, his mouth drooling slightly*
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... damn..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias 's jaw drops as he moves closer
<DeathStar> 6* The girls wave Dias to join them in an orgy.
<Chad`Winters> I wish Xevil was dead...6He crosses his arms.
<Seraphna> "...Interesting trap."
<DeathStar> 6* A dead Xevil appears to the side
<Xanatos> Yay we won. Can we eat now?
<DeathStar> 6* The turkey looks like it's the best turkey in the universe
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "I think I like this place."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off the ground, leaping towards the girls.
<DeathStar> 6* The girls take Dias into their arms.
* Xanatos sneakily reaches out and grabs a plate and begins to load it up with food.
<Chad`Winters> That's the idea. Wind, where's the exit?
* Junior blinks over to Erevis and laughs--like he did when he was younger.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Junior, then pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* The food smells delicious
<DeathStar> <Wind> Over in that direction, I believe.
<DeathStar> 6* Terra's starship looks awesome. The ramp is lowered.
* Chad`Winters nods and begins walking towards that direction
<Junior> I see you remembered the conversation.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xanatos smells it and smiles widely, he takes a turkey leg and lifts it up, smaking his lips.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches out and smacks the turkey out of his hand.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *heads towards the starship*
* Junior smiles and nods--glancing voer to Xanatos just about to eat the turkey.
* Xanatos blinks and glances at Kat. "Wha...what did you do that for?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't be dumb. 6She follows Chad
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows after Chad.
<Red_Fox> "This isn't real. It won't be real turkey either."
* Seraphna walks over and gently drags Terra back with the others.
<Xanatos> I....but i'm brain damaged! *he sulks and droops his shoulder, moving after Chad and the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shoots the girls holding onto Dias.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "But... I can have a starship!"
<Seraphna> "...I didn't fly into enemy territory alone and end up in this situation for you to ditz out now."
* Chad`Winters glances back at Katrina. 1"It's good to see you again.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Becareful what you wish for.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh really?
* Chad`Winters nods.
<Xanatos> No he's lying. He's pissed that you're here.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "... I guess you're right."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias perks up, his shirt hung over his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina'
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's green eyes stare at Xan
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along. Strangely, nothing she wants appears.
<Xanatos> ...I'm going to stop joking around now. *he frowns*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dias. "They were going to kill you, you know." 6She walks off.
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head at Xanatos.
* Red_Fox walks along, reading a self-help book. Where did that come from?
* Seraphna doesn't seem to have any desires popping up either, though the thing she wanted to see may have already appeared.
<DeathStar> 6* The book suddenly bites Fox's head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But I would've died happy! 6He tugs his shirt back on moving after them.
* Red_Fox throws it away
<DeathStar> 6* As they near what Wind predicted to be the answer, a younger, Chiere buffed Junior stands there
<Red_Fox> "... see, if I'd set this up, I'd have made the advice suicidal instead."
* Junior looks over his shoulder, at his younger self.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6* A flock of Dragoons run over and accept Sera. Cheryl and Zephyr stare.
* Chad`Winters comes to a stop, eyeing the younger Junior. He looks at the older one then back at the younger one.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses.
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Xanatos blinks and glances around. "I feel kinda cheap...all I got was food out of this deal."
<Chad`Winters> It appears age has not been kind to you Junior.
<Red_Fox> "All I got was a lousy self-help book."
<DeathStar> <Young Junior> Come to me
<DeathStar> 6* Wind holds a T-Shirt.
<Junior> A thousand years wouldn't be kind to anyone.
* Xanatos eyes Wind. "You wanted a t-shirt?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> ...
* Seraphna ignore them.
<Xanatos> What does it say?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind holds it up dryly. It says "There is no "I" in God"
<Seraphna> "...This is only an illusion. I'm not here to play games."
* Xanatos just busts out laughing.
<Junior> ...
<DeathStar> <Wind> ...
* Chad`Winters looks at Katrina. 1"And you seriously loved him?
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *smiles* "I feel a lot better now."
* Xanatos struggles to stop laughing. "That's the coolest shirt, ever."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances down. "I didn't summon him!"
* Seraphna looks down, walking from the illusion, she seems in pain, insulted somehow.
* Xanatos arches a brow and glances at Kat. "I think Chad was talking about me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. Oh..
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "I certainly didn't! I'd want.. umm... never mind..."
* Chad`Winters eyes Kat then glances at Jr.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be chanting to herself, so nothing appears.
<Xanatos> ...*he glances at Chad, glancing at Kat then Junior*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps around the young Junior.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragoon groupies follow Sera, begging her to hang wiht them
* Junior closes his eyes for a moment, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the exchanges.
<Xanatos> Well this room was just a bucket of fun. *he notes dryly, stepping around the young Junior*
<DeathStar> 6* They exit back into the luxurious hallways.
* Junior follows, shaking his head.
* Seraphna gets colder looking as they do. "...Stop taunting me."
* Chad`Winters resumes walking, his right hand clenched around one of his blades.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dragoons are left behind as Sera leaves them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl exits, then sighs in relief.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *heads out, considering* <At least I have one thing I want...>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps out
<DeathStar> 6* Wind steps out. ODdly, his shirt remains
* Seraphna steps out and shivers, holding an arms before shaking her head.
* Chad`Winters stops as he glances back staring at someone. He lowers his head then steps out quickly.
* Xanatos crosses his arms, moving to pop his neck. "Too bad that room couldn't give out massages."
* Red_Fox steps out. "I was hoping I'd be able to take knowledge out."
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead appears to be the throne room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias claps his hands together. 1"Now that was cool.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "If someone can make a version that doesn't try to kill you..."
* Seraphna looks away from the others and shakes her head again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should be careful.
<Junior> You can't really blame Xevil for being a hedonist.
<Xanatos> Whoa. Big word.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...are you sure you didn't make that shirt yourself?" *looks at Wind*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, this time, pinches her nose.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I think it's someone's idea of a moral lesson
<Xanatos> It's a good lesson. *he nods*
<Chad`Winters> Intersting, Xevil's handing them out now.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "You went into the room of dreams, and all you got was a lousy T-shirt?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... Yes, 'Xevil'.
* Junior just looks at Wind, then back toward the throne room.
<DeathStar> 6* The throne rooms waits to be entered.
* Xanatos taps his shoulder. "I'm not going first."
<Chad`Winters> Are we all prepared?
* Seraphna makes a weapon vanish, walking a bit slumped now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walksin first.
<Red_Fox> "Yes."
<Seraphna> "...Sure... yeah..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves in after Erevis
* Xanatos slides in after Erevis.
* Ariel steps in before Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps in after Erevis. Zephyr walks in. as well.
* Junior follows the others, his hand in his pocket as he holds the massive gun over his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind walks in slowly, glancing around the luxurious throne room
* Red_Fox heads in, without fanfare
* Seraphna follows after them, looking tired.
* Chad`Winters moves in after Jr.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps in lasty.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *steps in finally*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *steps in... at some undisclosed time*
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting on the throne is Xevil. He rises unsteadily to his feet, hissing at them.
<Junior> ... Really, hissing?
* Xanatos smiles. "It's really the only way to welcome people these days."
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil leaps forward, landing in front of them, swaying from side to side, his red eyes glowing
* Red_Fox eyes Xevil, as if expecting it not to be him
<DeathStar> <Cherly> What, no big speeches before we fight?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... there is something not right about him
<Red_Fox> "You noticed too."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> His mind is so aggressive. Only one thought? And it's "Kill"
<Chad`Winters> Clone?
<Junior> At least it's not "eat."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil punches at Xan with fast speed.
<Red_Fox> "... that brings back old memories..."
* Ariel unsheaths her blade.
* Red_Fox steps into a battle pose, readying her sword
* Xanatos jumps back with his eyes wide, probably not fast enough.
<Seraphna> "...Clone or not, still looks like a murder to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil leaps forward, attacking Xanatos again.
* Seraphna makes her blades reappear.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' jaw drops at his speed then he suddenly begins getting giddy. He kicks off, dashing around Xan and kicking off, spin kicking low to high
* Xanatos throws his hands up, blocking the attack, a look of pain appearing on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds her sword and gun ready
* Junior lasers at Xevil with the Organ Grinder, the gun making a chainsaw-like sound as it whirrs to live.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is kicked out of the way of the laser
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil spins and lands on the floor
* Xanatos rubs his forarms. "Holy crap, he's really strong."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias ducks as the laser flies by his head. 1"WHAT THE HELL!"
* Ariel unleashes a holy blast at Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is hit, howling
* Junior turns it's aim as he flies through the air and lands, the beam scorching the walls.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *gets the fuck away from that laser*
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Ha..HA HA H.. HA HA HA HA....HA HA HA HA HA HA
<Chad`Winters> Did Junior just etch his name into the far wall?
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil starts laughing, twitching and shaking
* Xanatos backs away and pulls up both of his pistol. "Is he...laughing at us?"
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..." *shudders*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in as he laughs.
* Seraphna glares at the crazy Xevil and dashes in with Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, he's laughing with us. 6He dashes in coming in at an X with Cheryl
* Red_Fox darts in also, assisting Seraphnma
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil keeps laughing, his body twitching crazily. Cheryl whips down at Xevil, and he ducks, then moves to the side of her so the others can't get him
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl, toss me! 6He leaps towards Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns, only to be punched into the wall.
* Seraphna veers off to stop herslf from hitting Cheryl, pulling Red back, she waits for an opening.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis spreads out, not rushing in to get in the way of the others
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes aim, waiting for a clear shot.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias growls and twists mid-air spin kicking towards Xevil throguh the air
* Xanatos just holds his pistols steady as the charge, waiting for a good shot.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *waits for an opening*
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil laughs at Dias
* Red_Fox moves in once there's an opening, slicing at Xevil calmly but determinedly
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil then leaps up so Fox misses, and he kicks Disa righ at her head
* Seraphna moves as he's busy with those two, slicing.
* Red_Fox darts out of Dias' way
<Chad`Winters> Dias slams into the floor, rolling across it.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is in the air still
* Xanatos releases a charged shot for Xevil.
<Red_Fox> "Now that just isn't playing fair."
<Chad`Winters> ...He's...Something's going on. Everyone open fire. 6He pulls his gun up firing charged shot after charged shot at Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil knocks it back at xan, then finally lands far away from everyone
* Xanatos rolls to the right. "How the hell?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...go team, go?"
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil knocks them back, laughing, his head twitching side to side
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is disturbing.
* Chad`Winters twists, the shots nickiing his sidess.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> D-D-DIE! HA HA HA HA HA
<Chad`Winters> Dias grabs his head. 1"What in the..."
* Xanatos makes a face. "...Hey, can you like...stop the bloodflor to his brain, Erevis?" he glances at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I don't think he has a brain.
<Junior> Let's find out.
<Xanatos> You mean I have one up on him? Awesome.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches out, straining to fidn something.
<Chad`Winters> What about his heart?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis recoils, grabbing her head.
* Junior kneels, taking aim and firing at Xevil's head.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *suddenly rushes in, punching at Xevil's gut, seeming almost panicked*
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is hit in the head. He stops laughing and twitching
* Xanatos archs a brow. "What happened?"
* Seraphna backs up. "...He's berserk?"
* Ariel tries to support Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is like an animal.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is no logic.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is punched.
* Junior holds the firery beam for a moment, turning it off as he's punched out of the beam's path.
<Chad`Winters> Why...
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil peers at Terra, leaning i nreal close, and at an awkward angle.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> .... HA HA HA HA HA HA
<Seraphna> "...There's also little strategy then, take him down like a beast."
<DeathStar> 6* He laughs again and headbutts her.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *launches an uppercut while Xevil's laughing, then is hit by the headbutt*
<Chad`Winters> Dias punches his fists together then dashes in at Xevil again
<Junior> This reminds me of... well, there's only one real option.
<Junior> Dismemberment.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil dashes in a blur, grabs Terra, then swings her at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil keeps laughing, twitching and convulsing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets ready again.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *darts forward, ducking under Terra, and trying to punch Xevil in the face.
<Red_Fox> "I'll never look at clowns the same way."
<Chad`Winters> Dias bounces along the floor, grabing onto her as he tumbles
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is punched. He returns with a punch that moves so fast there's only a blur.
<DeathStar> 6* aimed at her knee.
<DeathStar> <Wind> How can a being in this universe move so fast?
* Chad`Winters takes in several deep breathes, his muscles tenching
<Chad`Winters> NRP: tensing
* Seraphna focuses, her normal eye gong a bit dim as she tries to track his moves, looking for that perfect shot.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna falls to the ground in pain, but is happy she finally got a punch in
<Xanatos> Spade mentioned something. He's probably not from this universe...
<Seraphna> "...He's likely a suicide clone, he doesn't plan to live through this."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil suddenly begins to blur as he dashes around.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind tries to figure out what's juicing Xevil, using his reality powers.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks down at Terra then stands up.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *winces* "I... I don't get how he can keep that up..."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil appears behind Zephyr, grabbing her head. "Break Dragoons. Ha ha. Ha ha. Breaky break brak."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil squeezes, causing Zephyr to howl.
* Red_Fox moves to stab Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns, never having seen Xevil approach
* Chad`Winters twists towards Xevil and Zephyr, dashing intowards them.
* Junior pants, not exausted from action, but from shortness of breath. "In this universe? I was that fast once."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs so Fox stabs Zephyr
* Xanatos tenses up and eyes Zephyr. "Oh crap.."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Damn. I see now.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "..."
* Seraphna ruishes blindly into Xevil, attempting to free Zephyr. "...LET HER GO!"
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil laughs, then blurs again, ramming Zephyr all the way fdown the blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winces.
* Red_Fox switches the blade off quickly
<Chad`Winters> ZEPHYR! 6He dashes towards Zephyr now, ignoring Xevil.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil turns, eyeing Sera. He laughs in her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her chest, taking deep breaths
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... You fucker. 6She dashes in after Sera.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "...."
* Seraphna slashes angrily at him, "...YOU BASTARD! NOT AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN!"
* Chad`Winters slides up to her, quickly grabbing her. 1"You'll be fine..."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blrus so she misses.
* Ariel darts to Zephyr's side.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> MISS! MISSY MISS
* Red_Fox stares at her hands
<Xanatos> Wind...how do we hit him?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to hit him next, but misses as he blurs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps over Cheryl, somersault kicking down at Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Wind> He's drugged up on a drugs that Xevil discovered in the original universe - that made him 10x mor epowerful. However, this thing has a pure concentraton in him. It's killing him, but his strength is absurd. It's beyond anything.
* Chad`Winters quickly sets Zephyr down. 1"Ariel, use the rune to heal her.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs so Dias misses.
<Seraphna> "Cheryl, together, let's kill him together!" *she looks bloodthirsty*
<Xanatos> Then how do we stop him?
<DeathStar> <Wind> You got to stop him from moving.
* Ariel nods, and is already on trying to keep Zephyr from dying.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs around the room, laughing.
<Xanatos> ...*he blinks and glances around, trying to come up with a plan*
* Chad`Winters looks up then over at Jr. 1"Junior. Can you freeze the ground?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Ariel working on Zephyr, then turns, trying to find Xevil
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "I... don't know if I can..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr coughs. "Just..a flesh wound..really.."
* Junior curls over, coughing as he falls to his knee, he places his palm against the ground, ice spreading outward form it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, snarling as she tries to fidn him
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil appears in front of Ariel, then kicks her into a wall.
<Chad`Winters> I'm better than you right now Zephyr...6He slowly pulls her hand up, to eye the wound.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> HA HA HA HA HA
<DeathStar> 6* It's deep, but seems to have missed vital organs.
* Ariel trys to smile. Her mind is a mess right now, but- ...then she's kicked. Hits the wall. Oww.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims at Xevil.
* Seraphna leaps at Zephyr, "...Stay the fuck away from Mother!"
<Xanatos> Take out his legs or something. *he says with a frown*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is..leapt at?
<Red_Fox> <Terra> <Strife... if this doesn't work... protect me...>
<Seraphna> *TYPO
<Seraphna> *Leapt at Zevil
<Seraphna> (XEVIL)
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil sighs in relief as Zevil is taken down
* Junior bares his teeth, the ice spreading outward towards Xevil.
* Seraphna stops herself
* Seraphna lewaps back
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is shot by Zephyr. He eyes her curiously.
<Seraphna> "...Too fast..."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil then glances down at the ice.
* Seraphna nods apologetically and leaps at Xevil again.
* Xanatos fires a charged shot for Xevil's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in now, swinging her whip down at Xevil.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina fires.
* Junior closes his eyes, trying to catch the idiodic killing machine by the feet, and freeze from the sole up.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> "OVERDRIVE!!" *rushes Xevil, pouring all her energy into this one moment, punching rapidly, blurring*
<DeathStar> 6* Xevi lis hit by the attacks, then Terra suddenly punches him free of the ice, as she punches him over and over.
* Chad`Winters glances at Xevil, then pulls out a medkit and begins tending to her wound.
* Red_Fox stares
<Junior> Stupid... *shakes his head weakly*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off the ground and onto the ice, sliding across it towards Terra and Xevil.
* Seraphna stays on Xevil, stabbing at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs away.
<Xanatos> Yeah let's call out attacks like it's cool or something. *he waves his hand around*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HEY! 6He glares at Xanatos.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *continues punching for a moment, then collapses, unconcious*
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil appears behind Xanatos, then knees him in his prostate.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands.
* Xanatos widens his eyes and falls onto his knees, holding his prostate. "Owwwwwww."
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr, eyeing her.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil begins to punch Xanatos rapidly. "OVERDRIVE."
* Xanatos just gets pummeled as he cannot get away.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil suddenly freezes.
<Chad`Winters> Dias slides onto normal ground and dashes in around Xan and Xevil, slide tackling at Xevil
* Seraphna rushes in at Xevil, blade ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is tackled as he's no longer moving
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina checks over Xan's moves.
* Seraphna attempts to slice his head off.
<DeathStar> *wounds
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil pushes Dias in the way of the sword.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *would punch Xevil for copying her attack, except she's out cold*
* Seraphna dissolves her sword before it hits Dias.
<Chad`Winters> Dias twists instinctively, the blade sliding across his skin.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis falls to a knee, too tired to keep Xevil frozen in place.
* Red_Fox moves forward to slice at Xevil's neck
* Xanatos groans. "....he's strong."
* Seraphna thursts out her hand, forming another sword, through Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs -- and Sera stabs Fox.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks then steps back
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil reappears.
* Seraphna dissolves it and blinks, catching Fox, "...Shit!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> All of us attacking at once is going to get us killed....
<Red_Fox> "... that... hurt."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, who was about to rush in, stops.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed...
<Seraphna> "...Sorry..."
<Red_Fox> "Don't apologise."
* Seraphna lays her down carefully, grabbing a medpack and applying it to the wound.
<Seraphna> "...Alright. I'll kill him instead."
* Chad`Winters stands up, helping Zephyr stand.
<Red_Fox> "That works."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil dashes in, punching at Chad from behind.
* Ariel looks to Erevis, then slowly approaches Xevil.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands again, waiting for the opportune time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns toward Xevil.
* Chad`Winters spins, his wrist flicking, a torrent of flame appearing around it as he punches his fist towards Xevil approaching.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil burns, flailing.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil blurs and the fire goes out
* Chad`Winters pants, the flame dieing out quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil punches at Chad, but Zephyr shoots his fist.
<Xanatos> Sure wish I had a nice rune to use....*he slowly pulls himself up to his feet, holding his wounds*
<Red_Fox> "Thanks for caring, by the way."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands to the side, waiting for the right moment.
* Ariel darts at Xevil, pulling her blade back to strike.
* Chad`Winters turns, his eyes locking onto Zephyr's shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil goes to blur, but stops moving.
* Seraphna stands as well, looking to Cheryl, then the blurs, mindful this time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in.
* Seraphna moves with Cheryl, readying.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dashes in as well.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This guy's on crack...
* Ariel slashes across Xevil at the same time she releases a holy blast.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She grabs Chad adnd shhoves them both away from the incoming attacks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips down.
* Xanatos stands there holding his side, watching those rush in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stabs forward, for the legs.
* Chad`Winters stumbles, then regains his footing, stopping himself from falling. He looks at Zephyr, nodding to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is hit by all the attacks, black blood gushing out.
* Seraphna leaps high, over Xevil, she readies her swords, timing her strike for right after the others.
* Seraphna comes down on his head, with nothing but the floor to hit besides him.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil is hit again, a cracking sound. He stumbles forward, blood oozing from his head. Erevis falls on her butt,panting harder now
<DeathStar> <Xevil> ...aPaaa.IIIIN.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil hits the ground, not moving.
<Xanatos> ....someone stab him just to be safe.
* Seraphna angles her blade and drives it through his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil crumbles in dust.
<DeathStar> *into
<Xanatos> Err. Nevermind.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wow, he fell to pieces....
* Seraphna dissolves the blade and straightens, breathign slow.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes deep breaths
<Xanatos> Talk about dry skin.
<DeathStar> 6* Clapping is herad.
<Chad`Winters> Dias just groans.
<Seraphna> "...That was for her."
* Chad`Winters looks over at the clapping.
* Xanatos glances towards the clapping.
* Seraphna looks over.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to see another Xevil sitting on his throne.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Well done. Well done.
* Junior curls his fingers into a fist.
<Xanatos> Wow. It really was a clone.
* Ariel turns abruptly to face Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I suppose you've all earned the right to know what's really going on here.
* Junior stands, panting and coughing into his blood-stained cloth.
<Red_Fox> "And what's that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil motions. "Come get your credit." 6* Phaeton steps out, a hand on Michiru's shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> Dias turns to face Xevil, he then looks at the dust Xevil, scratching his head.
<Seraphna> "...Michi...'
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> So wonderful to see you all again.
* Xanatos frowns. "You too." He says sarcastically.
<Chad`Winters> How did you get back to our galaxy...
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *stirs, starting to wake up again*
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Easily. I was sent to impede your work and figure out the identify of Michiru's mother, so we could prevent her from waking up. Of course, to do that, I played hacker with your system.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "..."
<Seraphna> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton smiles. "We forced Spade to work with us, so he could capture her body. Threatened to kill you, Serena, unless he complied. After all, we showed him that we had all the knowledge of the future at our disposal. He agreed."
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "Monster."
<Seraphna> "...Bastard..."
<Xanatos> So wait...Spade wasn't really the bad guy this time?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...now I really wish I killed him."
<Seraphna> "...No he wasn't."
* Seraphna looks down, fists clenched.
* Chad`Winters grunts and slows his breathing down.
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> The best part is how I got you and Warren to ferret out his identity and force him to act. I was there to make sure he did what he was told, but I found him instead playing counselor and helping you all. So, I told Warren he was alive, so he would be forced to kill Warren."
<Xanatos> Ooops. *he whistles and glances up*
<Red_Fox> "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"
<Seraphna> "...Weindigo..."
<Chad`Winters> Dias cracks his neck from side to side as he bounces back and forth, eyeing Phaeton.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton grins, keeping his grip on Michiru's shoulders. "It was so easy. Tell you about your past, and you went right for it, Serena Cran."
* Junior folds his arms, glancing between the two groups.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil keeps his hands folded in his lap.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to get her energy back up to free Michi
* Chad`Winters watches the two, studying them deeply as he listens.
<Seraphna> "...And it was all just another lie... everything..."
* Xanatos sighs, rubbing his neck with his free hand.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> *moves to escape, hitting Phaeton telekinetically if she has to, and heads over to the group*
<DeathStar> 6* Michiru's moves down't work, oddly.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "... let me go!"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Ut ut.
<Seraphna> "...Let her go..."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I'm afraid not.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Michi is about to go home.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil stands, his regal black cape swooshing.
* Seraphna looks at Michi, her look asking what she really wants.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I don't get any of this.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands there, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets her footing ready
<Seraphna> "...Xevil sent Michi here, to start the time divergence."
* Xanatos breaths a sigh of relief. "Glad i'm not the only one."
<Red_Fox> "Me either, but I'm used to it."
<Junior> ...
<DeathStar> <Phaeton> Don't worry. We'll make a better world, Serena. After all, I get to rule Earth of the past.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finishes bandaging her wounds.
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Xanatos raises his hand.
* Seraphna summons her blades.
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... it's begun
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the room shakes.
* Xanatos frowns. "And I didn't get to ask my obvious question."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wooooh! 6He shifts trying to regain his balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl brances herself.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *lies there, barely even awake*
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton glances up. "Ah, right on time. The man behind it all is here."
* Junior stands, eying the evil ones before him.
* Seraphna glares at Phaeton, blades at her sides, ready like a cat about to pounce.
* Chad`Winters begins looking around as he shifts his feet apart. He raises his gun firing a shot at Phasetons as he looks up.
<Xanatos> The man behind it all? *he arcs his brow.* You mean there is another?
<DeathStar> 6* A tear in space apepears, the shot is blocked by a large arm.
* Chad`Winters freezes, eyeing the large arm.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Honestly. You think I could orchestrate events in the future
<Xanatos> Yeah I guess you're too dumb for that.
* Junior shakes his head.
<Junior> But orchestrating the past.
<DeathStar> 6* Emerging from the portal is a large, at least 1.5x bigger than Xevil, Tsivrixsh. He wears battle armor, his blue skin almost black now, and his eyes burning more than any Tsivrixsh's eyes. He stands massive, like a giant mech of it's own right
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward.
<Xanatos> Who is that?
<Seraphna> "...Who..."
<DeathStar> 6* The giant Tsivrixsh turns, and it's clear it's Xevil. 15 years from now. He literally radiates power through the room
<Junior> Well, I certainly feel cheated in our agreements, Xevil.
* Chad`Winters hand wavers from the power that Xevil is giving off.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Time was set in motion long before you arrived. Ask the Emperor here.
<Xanatos> Wow Xevil. You grew up.
<Red_Fox> "What were you doing making deals with him anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil turns. "Ah. So you're all here to witness the birth of a new reality."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Holy shit....Oh hell yeah. 6He begins punching his fist into his open palm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis actually steps back
<DeathStar> <Wind> No... impossible... 6He stares, clearly sensing something.
<Xanatos> We was hoping to stop it really.
<Junior> Careful with your words, Xevil.
<Junior> Everything with a birth... has a death.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Wind. 1"Explain."
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> It is too late. The divergence us already begun. 6He motions at the tear in space, then another that's formed on the other side of the room
<DeathStar> <Wind> He has my reality powers.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's bad, right?
<Xanatos> ....He took your power?
<Red_Fox> "Your what?"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> What can I say. I side with the man bound to win.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna displays the 'oh fuck' look on her face
<Chad`Winters> How is that possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton moves toward the other tear, letting Michiru go.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> *rushes over to the group
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> By killing you in the other timeline, Wind. Ha ha ha.
<Chad`Winters> I thought that if Ariel died you disappear tho Wind...
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... It seems that's how he beat me.
<Junior> ...
<Xanatos> Wait, what's going on?
* Chad`Winters glances at Serena, very glad that she didn't kill Ariel now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shudders at the emotions going on in the mind of Xevil.
* Seraphna rushes to get Michi.
<Junior> Xanatos.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> So, let me gather the appropriate energies now, so you can behold my world. 6He pulls out the Spear of Longinus
<Xanatos> Yo?
* Junior stares at the spear, tossing the Organ Grinder to Xan.
<Junior> You'll need it.
<Seraphna> "...Michi... are you alright?"
* Xanatos catches it. "Sweet. Thanks."
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "I'm fine... but I couldn't stop it..."
* Ariel narrows her eyes, she REALLY wants to kill this guy... but she's not suicidal yet.
* Chad`Winters takes in a deep breath, sweat beading off his brow. He raise his gun, aiming it at Emperor Xevil.
<DeathStar> 6* The spear suddenly transforms, becoming longer, two blades forming, one on each end, the size of any human male. Emperor Xevil grips the middle of the spear by it's handle.
<DeathStar> <Wind> That one is new.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> "...It's alright hun... you did your best."
<Seraphna> "...Let's stop the bad guys once and for all okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grips her hands, trembling in anger.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> *nods*
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> Oh? You wish to entertain me while I gather the necessary energy?
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *trembles, wanting to do something, but too weak to even move right now*
* Chad`Winters turns, firing an overcharged shot at Xevil.
<DeathStar> 6* A shield blocks it. Seems he's protected.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> Ut ut. I'm your opponent.
* Xanatos frowns, lifting up the OG. "How do I shoot this thing." He tilts his head and eyes the controls. "OHHHHHH." He fires a laser for Emperor Xevil.
<Chad`Winters> Fine...6He begins charing again.
* Junior grips his wrist painfully, falling to his knees, coughing.
<DeathStar> 6* The laser impacts, doing no damage.
<Red_Fox> "Hey, are you alright?"
<Xanatos> Oh come'on.
* Xanatos idly redirects it up towards his face.
* Chad`Winters fires another charged shot for Emp. Xevil's knee cap.
* Seraphna quickly moves Michi to the back, to relative safety.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kneels beside Junior. "Hey, stay with me here."
<DeathStar> 6* Again, nothing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Xanatos> Squeel in pain or....something. Sheesh.
* Chad`Winters slides his feet apart, taking several deep breaths
<Junior> You all... have to go!
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna fires a grenade, hoping to hit all three... well, she hopes.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> My turn. 6He slashes the air and suddenly everyone is hit by a wave of energy, depleting their energy by half.
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade does nothing.
* Chad`Winters drops to his knees, breathing heavily again.
* Junior squeezes his wrist painfully, like a tourniquet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Katrina fall to their knees. Wind stumbles.
<Red_Fox> <Terra> *faints again*
<Chad`Winters> Dias scowls then kicks off the ground, dashing in at Emp. Xevil
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Zephyr go down.
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil waits calml.
* Chad`Winters stands up again, he runs in towards Emp. Xevil
* Xanatos growns and falls back to a knee, he holds the OG carefully. "Yeah...i'm out of ideas."
* Red_Fox falls to her knees, taking deep breaths
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops to the side then twists, kicking towards Emp. Xevil's kneecap.
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil blurs and suddenly Dias' leg is torn off.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> You didn't need that, did you?
* Xanatos stares, his mouth slightly agape.
<Chad`Winters> Dias suddenly falls, screaming in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind strains forward, pissed he wasted so much energy before this.
* Chad`Winters comes to a stop, staring in disbelief.
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil kicks Dias away and back to the group.
* Junior curls forward, his forehead meeting the floor, unable to scream through shortness of breath.
<Xanatos> ....Seriously, how do we fight this?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds Junior, wishing there was something she could do.
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "... I... don't know..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps forward, getting ready to attack with her energy.
* Seraphna stands, having been protecting Michi, she forms a blade again.
* Ariel eyes Xevil uncertainly... she'd never had an opponent that she had no idea how to fight before.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind throws out his hands, creating a new leg for Dias.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> Yes, waste your energy, Wind . Waste that precious power.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls around, his hand grabbing for his missing leg only to grab his real leg now. He just blinks.
<Seraphna> "...He absorbs energy, we need to consider that, energy based attacks are useless..."
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> Tell me, Junior. How do you kill a god? Like ... THIS!
* Junior punches the ground, busting his human knuckles open as blood smears on the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil dashes, and suddenly impales Wind.
* Chad`Winters takes several steps back. He looks over at Wind about to talk then freezes again.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind hangs on the spear, gaping in pain. Before he can do anything, Emperor Xevil spins and slams Wind into the wall.
* Xanatos stares, he backs up a few paces.
* Ariel stares in shock
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, Michiru, pour Hyperspace energy into Wind.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind winces, tooweak to move.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We cna't transfer energy.
* Chad`Winters growls. He looks at Wind again. 1"Wind, can you transform into Hyperspace?"
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil walks calmly toward Wind.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "... I... wish I could."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind seems to be unconscious
* Junior stands, his head hanging, his eyes shrouded in darkness as his hand drips blood onto the ground. Each drop splatters, staining the suface with sanguine.
* Chad`Winters begins looking around, frantically searching for something to use.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the tear that leads to the future begins to shimmer.
* Seraphna looks for a means of attacking, "...How..."
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> ... ?
* Xanatos frowns. "What...what do we do?!"
* Seraphna starts to grin, noticing it.
* Red_Fox looks to the tear
<DeathStar> 6* A figure comes sliding out, a brown trenchcoat billowing after him as he slides forward, his boot slick and squeaky on the floor. His red hair, slightly faded in color now, can be seen as he comes flying out, a metal hand gripped into a fist formaton.
* Xanatos blinks at the figure.
<Seraphna> "...John McCormick."
<Chad`Winters> Dias looks over at the figure. 1"John?"
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick turns to face them, though about 15 years older.
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "DAD!"
<DeathStar> <John McCormick> Hey honey, what did I tell you about playing in the timeline?
<Red_Fox> <Michiru> "It wasn't my fault!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares dumbfounded at John.
<DeathStar> <Emperor Xevil> *sigh* The infamous McCormick
<Red_Fox> "Good to see you again."
<DeathStar> 6* John thumbs up. "I'll take him down in two jiffies."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets a headache.
<DeathStar> 6* John fires a gu nat teh ceiling, causing wires and what not to fall out. He leaps forward, grabbing them with his metal hand, and swings toward Xevil.
* Chad`Winters steps back, watching John. He grimaces slightly as pain shoots through his body.
<Red_Fox> "What a guy."
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil waits, then bats him down into the ground wiht what swat. "Well, anyone else you want to pin all your hopes on?"
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...that was anti-climatic."
<DeathStar> 6* John leaps up, his fist suddenly engulfed in flames. "FLAMING SUCKER PUNCH."
* Xanatos lets out a low whistle.
<DeathStar> 6* John punches the spear suddenly, sending waves of fire over it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> WOOOT! GO JOHN! 6He throws his fist into the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Emperor Xevil holds steady, but suddenly, the energy he was gathering goes wild, sending bolts of energy everywhere.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ducks. "Oh shit."
* Seraphna dodges a bolt leaps in, combining a water based strike with her sword, slciing at the arm of the spear.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> EEK! 6He drops to the ground.
* Xanatos dives and lands on the ground roughly.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera is zapped and vanishes
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton pauses, then dives into the second portal.
* Junior dashes for the portal, his hand balled in a fist as he runs.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything goes brilliantly white as energy that was being gathered from the spear is unleashed. When it becomes clear, everyone is gone but Present Xevil, Dias, Zephyr, and Terra
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances arond, the portals gone.
<Chad`Winters> Dias blinks, then looks around, he eyes Xevil suddenly.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
* Red_Fox is now known as Terra
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil stands there. "Well. That was different."
* Dias claps his hands together. 1"So now that you don't have your future self to protect you..."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Oh, but I have them. 6He hits a button and 50 Tsivrixsh soldiers rush in, surrounding them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She eyes them all.
<Dias> <Dias> Ahhh....fuck.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Now...entertain me.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, Cheryl, Ariel, Serena, and Fox all appear on a street. Energy is unleashes, blowing up the street, and a building, and a tree.
* Terra is now known as Red_Fox
<Seraphna> "...This is new."
* Red_Fox looks around, getting her bearings
<DeathStar> 6* Phaeton runs off into a crowd of people that is staring, vanishing from sight
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands, grunting in pain. Erevis looks up, just in time to see military soldiers, Earth ones, surround them, aiming at htem.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up her hands. "Whoa"
* Ariel was about to go after Phaeton... but soldiers... yeah, that chances things. She's not making any sudden moves.
<Red_Fox> "Problem?"
<DeathStar> 6* One soldier pushes forward to the front. Warren Carmichael stands there, much younger than he was before he died. He eyes Ariel and Cheryl, his eyes narrowing with barely contained anger.
* Seraphna looks at them, still in a tattered EarthGov uniform.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes widen and her hands drop as she stares.
<Seraphna> "...Warren?"
<Red_Fox> "... Warren?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... You are all being detained for questioning on the explosion that just occurred here. If you resist, you will be dealt with by force.
<Seraphna> "...Yes sir."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
* Red_Fox is now known as Michiru
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining characters appear on black sooted ground; the sky above them is black with lightning appearing, and the area is war torn around them. The air is filled with soot.
* Xanatos glances around slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick stands there, running a hand through his red hair . He looks to be a young 40.
* Chad`Winters quickly glances around, trying to get his bearings.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind strains to recover.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...well... this is hellish. Where are we?"
<DeathStar> <John> Earth.
* Chad`Winters eyes Wind then moves over to him, holding him up.
* Junior hits the ground, spitting blood onto the black ground. He rubs his shoulder, his brow furrowed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over at a statue of Xevil.
<Xanatos> We in the future?
* Michiru nods
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks up at the statue* "Looks like hell to me."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. 6He turns, holding out his arms to Michi. "Hey you."
<Xanatos> Sweet. We're in the future. *he tells Katrina*
<Chad`Winters> What happened?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not a happy future.
* Michiru hugs John tightly
<Xanatos> But we've came to make it a happy one. *he nods*
* Junior staggers to his feet, looking over to Michiru and John.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds Michiru. "Welcome to what the endless war between the Dark Ones and Xevil has brought upon us." 6As a lightning flashes, they can see Tsivrixsh battle cruisers fighting Dark Ones. It seems, in this world -- they were never beaten
<Chad`Winters> No, why are we here.
<Xanatos> Aw man we already beat those guys.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds Michi. "I don't know. But, if we don't find the Emperor quickly, he'll just regather the necessary energy, and recreate this reality into a new one. I'm afraid that we're boned. Literally. In the ass."
