<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: A Farmhouse
* Seraphna stands, eyeing her, taking in a sight she never thought she'd see, "...No freaking way... the real Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes for his handgun, but the new Ariel immediately thrusts with her energy blade into the gun, then kicks him backwards over the counter into the kitchen.
* Seraphna coughs a little and stands ready, "...Alpha Ariel..."
<DeathStar> 6* The battleclad Ariel turns as Erevis goes to attack, and she quickly knocks her up with a kick into the ceiling, dropping her. She turns ,stabbing Fox in the stomach.
* Seraphna flicks her wrist, her gun flashing into view and firing at Ariel's saber.
<Seraphna> "...You want a fight, pick on someone your own size."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel turns, knocking the shot aside. She studies the only two remaining people. "Enemies capabilities anaylzed."
* Seraphna sighs mutely. "...You wish."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel dashes forward, grabbing Sera by her throat, and smashes them both outside, away from the real Ariel, getting distance. She turns and hurls Sera into the sky, launching her further into the forest. She quickly bonds after her, bouncing from tree trunk to tree trunk as she catches up with her opponent.
* Seraphna focuses, her other eye going blank as she catches a tree limb, swinging as she lands on a branch, taking aim, she fires at the appraoching Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leaps over the shot with ease, landing on a tree branch.
* Seraphna lepas back, and away, flipping down and landing on a lower branch, she turns and starts to move, heading for something she hears.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ... 6She watches Seraphna go, expressionless. "Enemy movements analyzed. Proceeding with counter measures." 6She dashes up into the leaves, and out of sight
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna arrives at a river, she would see a campfire ahead.
* Seraphna moves down along the river, away from possible innocent bystanders.
<Chad`Winters> 6A man steps out from behind a tree, crashing right into Serena.
* Seraphna groans and falls over, skidding to a halt.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man lands on his ass, a fishing rod, tacklebox and several fish fall to the ground around him.
* Seraphna looks around carefully, keeping alert.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Ahh...man...what the hell? 6He looks around to find Serena on the ground.
* Seraphna looks at the man finally.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man sighs. 1"You ok lady?"
<Seraphna> "...I'm fine, look, it's not safe here, you should get moving."
* Seraphna looks about, her eyes darting in every direction.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Not safe? Oh you mean bears. No, I'm fine, I have my bear repellant right here. 6He he flexes his arms.
<Seraphna> "...Not bears..."
<DeathStar> 6* A movement can be seen from Seraphna's left.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> ....Mountain lions?
* Seraphna flashes a gun into view and aims to her left, looking for a target.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man stands up, grabbing his stuff.
<Seraphna> "...Worse."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands from Sera's right, driving her sword into her hand that forms guns.
* Seraphna spins away and growls a bit as she dives back, her hand getting singed.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Enemy attack capabilities down 10%.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man looks up at Serena iwth a gun in her hand then Ariel. 1"Oh my god...6He scuttles back. 1"I' ve heard of your kind...You're that secret ninja cult...Look I don't want any part of this shit."
* Seraphna just starts firing at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel proceeds to parry the shots, even at close range, sending them flying around, even at the man
<Chad`Winters> 6The man freaks out, leaping behind a tree. 1"FUCK THIS SHIT! FUCK THIS SHIT!"
* Seraphna growls and launches her first surprise as Ariel is occupied, her eyes glowing as she tries to take control of the Alpha.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel seems unphased by this form of attack. She leaps up, spinning in the air, firing an energy blast down at Sera from her hand.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man hurls a fish towards the girls randomly. 1"LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS!"
* Seraphna rolls out of the way and fires at Ariel as she starts to land again.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands, twisting her body to avoid the shots. She turns toward the man. "Enemy ranked as a class D opponent." 6She fires an energy blast at the te.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man screams loudly like a girl in response.
* Seraphna summons her second gun and pelts blasts at Ariel as she fires at the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The tree explodes into flames, falling on the man.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is hit by the shots. She dashes to the side to avoid further unnecessary damage, swinging her sword out at Sera's outstretched hand.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man, screams in pain as he becomes pinned under the tree. 1"I don't want to die! I have a wife and kids!"
* Seraphna pulls it back swiftly, she twists around Ariel's momentum and drives her other gun down on Ariel's arm in a pistol whip.
<Seraphna> "...Crap. Hang on!"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ... 6She brings her arm up to knock the gun and Sera's hand back up.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> My poor kid Tom Engineer!
* Seraphna drives her foot into Ariel's side as she leaps away. SHe heads for the man.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel walks forward after Sera, unphased by the kick. "Your attack capabilities are no match for my own. Surrender is your only logical decision."
* Seraphna growls deeply and grabs the trunk, usign that Dragoon strenght, she hurls it at Ariel, "...Run you fool!"
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel stands her ground, slashing through the tree, causing it to split on either side of her.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> THE PAIN!
<Seraphna> "...Alpha Ariel. There's something you don't know."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel begins to approach Seraphna calmly.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> My legs! I can't feel my legs!
<Seraphna> "...You're fine, get up and run!" *She darts forward, moving to strike Ariel*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel parries with her sword.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man clearly tries to get up, but his legs don't respond.
* Seraphna grins a little, she grabs Ariel's wrist and twists, moving around her, attempting a disarm.
<DeathStar> 6* The blade drops, and Ariel calmly attempts to grab Sera's other wrist with both hands, allowing her to hold on.
* Seraphna seems to let her, until the last second, she twists and grabs Ariel's leg in her own, slamming her to the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel forms an energy field, right before the last second, and begins to blow off Sera's wrist if she doesn't let go and leap back
* Seraphna lets go and leaps back towards the water.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> My god I can't feel my legs! 6He begins panicing
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel forms a new energy blade, then leaps after Sera, moving through the air, timing her slash for when Sera lands.
* Seraphna doesn't land, she goes right into the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands on the edge of the water.
<Seraphna> * SHe doesn't seem to surface.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel blackflips so she lands in front of the man, lifting the blade up.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Proceeding with elimination of target.
<Seraphna> * Suddenly the river roars in anger, and LEAPS out of the banks, crashing down on Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man looks up, a look of pure fear on his face. 1"NO! NO! I! DON'T!"
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel glances up, then leaps to the left, letting the river crash on the man.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man is swept away by the huge current of water, slamming into trees
<Seraphna> *The water flows over the man soothingly! And rears around to stab blades of water at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leaps up onto a tree branch
<Seraphna> *The water crashes around the tree and pulls it down in it's current.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Unknown power source. Estimated level unknown.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leaps from the branch, flipping, and lands on another.
<Seraphna> *The water flies after Ariel relentlessly, not needing to be created, only directed, Sera stand at the refilling bank, directing the blasts of water after Ariel.
<Seraphna> "...Eat this bitch."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leaps from tree to tree, letting the water follow her around.
<Seraphna> *The water receeds into the ground. Sera stands there, panting a bit, gun in hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel flips and lands on the ground as well.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Estimated threat level B.
* Seraphna grins softly, "...A compliment I think." *She almost lazily looks over Ariel's wet form.* "...Come get some."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel dashes forward.
* Seraphna stands there, she leaps back at the last possible moment, water errupting from the soaked earth, rocks and dirt smacking up as blades of water come to meet Ariel's path.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel suddenly breaks off her dash, twisting not toward Sera, but away and aiming her hand toward the wet man, firing an oversized energy blast.
* Seraphna blasts Ariel with a fast, deadly stream of water from her hand as she takes the moment to turn.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man looks up, his face going pale. 1"Fuck this....shit."
<Seraphna> *Water blasts in front of the man, taking the shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit by the shot, as Sera attacked Ariel. He's blasted into the tree. Ariel is hit in the hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Attack canceled.
* Seraphna doesn't relent one bit, water strikes at Ariel from every angle.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands, kicking off the ground and onto a tree trunk, bounding up into the unseen leaves
* Seraphna breaths in, closing her eyes, she relaxes herself, following some of Spade's old training, she seems to relax, get lazy.
<DeathStar> 6* A tree falls toward Sera
* Seraphna rolls to one side.
* Seraphna recovers, still looking lazy.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man lays there, passed out.
<DeathStar> 6* As she rolls, she rolls into the path of a new tree.
* Seraphna meets the tree with a charged blast, letting it fall around her.
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera attacks the tree, the second the blast is deflected into it's bark, an energy sword comes down at her head.
* Seraphna almost catlike snaps form her laziness and shifts to one side, she slips around and grabs at Ariel's sowrd arm, sticking her gun against it and firing.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's gun arm shifts as she tries to grab it, and she elbows at Sera's jaw.
* Seraphna takes the blow, her knee flying up as she goes flying, at Ariel's own jaw.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's head tilts back, lessening the damage that it would cause. She grabs Sera's knee.
* Seraphna twists, throwing her other leg around Ariel's neck, she twists.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel allows her, as she forms her energy field ,damaging Sera's knee.
* Seraphna twists about, attempting a snap.
<DeathStar> 6* With enough impact to knock her away
* Seraphna rebounds off Ariel and onto a tree, sliding down it, one hand getting bloodied.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel raises her hand, gathering energy. A blue ball grows larger and larger.
* Seraphna grins almost sadistically.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel dashes in at Sera, still charging.
* Seraphna leaps, using a tree for a bouncing board, she leaps over Ariel's charge, firing at her charging hand with a charged shot.
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna bounds over her, ARiel simply corrects this by lifting her hand and firing it upward.
* Seraphna thanks physics, being that she's leaping over, the blast passes by her as she goes into a roll, firing a second charged blast at Ariel.
* Seraphna leaps back down instead of bouncing as she sees the angle change, and twists her wrist, sending a blast of water from the wet soil up into the beam and Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is knocked up, having not calculated that one. She twists, after taking some damage, and lands. Her lower armor sparks briefly.
<Seraphna> "...Right, you were always more robotic."
<Seraphna> "...You must hate water."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Water is irrelevant. Your attack is made of unknown energy particles.
<Seraphna> "...Too bad for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel stands there, as if scanning Seraphna over.
<Seraphna> "...It won't work dear, I'm not in your databanks. I'm not using anything you can identify. Surrender."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Incorrect. Your hand is generating the energy needed to control the water energy particles.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> My anaylsis is simple: I shall remove your hand.
<Seraphna> "...You'll die first."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Your threat level is not high enough to kill me.
<Seraphna> "...You'd be amazed what one can live through."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ...
<Seraphna> "...I will not let you hurt my mother or my friends."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> ... Understood. Accessing Omega datafiles.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Weakness found. Target analysis: Level A.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel forms her energy blade.
* Seraphna grins as she's stalled her long enough, the water having collected, she sends a 15 foot diameter blast of water blades up from trh ground below Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leaps forward, having sensed something. She dashes forward, leaping to Sera's right.
* Seraphna advances when Ariel would hope her to lean, her gun firing at the predicted location, right into Ariel's attack path.
<DeathStar> 6* Of course, dodging 15 feet of water has put her off balance.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is shot, twisting with it. She then moves forward, slashing out at Sera's gun.
* Seraphna grins and leaps back, letting go of the gun, the charging weapon explodes in Ariel's face as Sera skids back.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel twists back at the last moment. She stands her ground now, evaluating something.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Updating Omega datafiles.
* Seraphna fires a charged shot from her other gun at Ariel as she bothers announcing her activities to the world.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel parries it away with the sword without moving
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Your capabilities are impressive, Omega Seraphna.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> However, you have one flaw in your design.
* Seraphna gets into a stance, similar to Spade's. "...Come learn what you haven't."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel suddenly fires another energy blast at Sera, a weak one.
* Seraphna leaps to one side, her gun firing at the blast.
<DeathStar> 6* The blast is canceled. Ariel fires another blast at her once her leap is finished.
* Seraphna immediately fires at that one as well.
<DeathStar> 6* It's canceled. Ariel fires another blast.
* Seraphna grins and doesn't dodge, she runs forward, ducking as she charges, heading right for her.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel brings her sword arm up in an uppercut clash, since she's low.
* Seraphna swings to one side and punches up at the arm and under arm, an uppercut that gains water from the ground and slices at Ariel as she moves.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is forced to leap up with the attack, her arm partially damaged. She twists and lands on a tree branch.
<Seraphna> "...Sorry, but I intend to kill you before you wear me down."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Then you have realized your own flaw.
<Seraphna> "...And you've missed one of your own."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> What flaw is that?
* Seraphna clanches her fist, the water that's collected on Ariel's body slams, stabs, and pieces into her skin and parts, tearing madly. "...You're soaking wet."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is knocked from the tree and hits the ground. "Your analysis is correct." 6 She suddenly fires at the unconscious man, then rolls and fires again, then rolls and fires again, spreading out the attacks so no single water column can stop them
* Seraphna stops them the old fashioend way, water slames up from the ground as Ariel makes her third roll, slicing into her and soaking her more.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel flips up, having sensed the attack before it hits. She avoids being wet. However, the other two shots are still going onward.
* Seraphna stops them with quick water bursts.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands. Her armor sparks from the earlier attack
<Seraphna> "...Whatever happeend to defending civilians..."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> My analysis says you will now allow harm to come to the man. It is only logical to use him to wear you down.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel stands at full height.
<Seraphna> "...You're a bitch, you know that?"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> That term is illogical.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel fires a blast into the sky, then breaks into five mini blasts, flying down at the man
* Seraphna leaps, five darts of water intercepting as she grabs the man up, and starts to run. "...No way am I playing this sick game!"
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel turns to watch Sera running off. She leaps up into a tree.
* Seraphna listens for some signs of civilisation, she can dump him off with witnesses, and get to a safer place.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man slowly groans as he comes to.
<Seraphna> "...Can you be any heavier?"
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Guh....Wuh?
* Seraphna runs along, the man's easy to carry but she needs to whine about something right about now.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands in front of Sera, slashing at her face.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Why..Why's the ground mov...6He looks around. 1"Oh..."
* Seraphna dives back, landing on the man, groaning.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man howls in pain.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> My anaylsis says you have 10% of your energy left. Your threat level is E.
<Seraphna> "...This man is innocent, do you have any honor?"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Honor is irrelevant. Surrender, and he will be spared.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Energy? Can't you power up like a superhero or something?! Start screaming loudly!
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's armor sparks once
<DeathStar> 6* A saber flies at Ariel. She parries the saber away from her on instinct, knocking it toward Seraphna.
* Seraphna blasts it away with some water.
<DeathStar> 6* Teh saber goes flying away
* Seraphna leaps away and lands a bit of a distance from Ariel, for seeminglyt no reason.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man bounces on her shoulder roughyl
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel turns toward Seraphna. She tenses.
* Seraphna sets the man down, panting hard, wiping her mouth a little, the saber in her hand.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> The energy sword will do you little good. You are too weak to fight.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Here...6He holds his rod out to her. 1"Use my sacred fishing rod to defeat her."
* Seraphna takes the rod in her other hand, blinking a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel dashes in as Sera takes it, swinging horizontally at her.
* Seraphna flicks the saber on and parries, she might be 11 years from him, but all that swordplay rubbed off a little.
* Seraphna swings at Ariel with... the rod?
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's energy blade hits the sword. She's hit by the rod, looking a bit put off. She suddenly pushes against Sera, flipping backwards into a tree trunk, then kicks off, coming down with an overhead chop.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man clenches his fist a look of satisfaction on his face.
* Seraphna slashes upwards in a countering parry, twisting as she swings the rod again at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel pushes her blade against Sera's, using her momentum. She's hit by the rod again, for which she pushes off Sera with her sword, takes a step back, then brings her sword down in a diagonal right to left cut
* Seraphna makes a perfectly aligned countering cut, bringing thier sabers clashing again, she thrusts out with the Sacred Rod!
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel suddenly steps back, then hits Sera's sword again in an uppercut, knocking her up into the air. She leaps up after her, both of htem doing hangtime, as she brings her sword down in an overhead chop.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> Call out the rod's name! It's Shiboygan.
* Seraphna parries again with a defensive slice upwards, slaming the rod in from the side, "...Shi-boygan!"
<DeathStar> 6* The rod breaks. Ariel kicks at Seraphna, knocking her through the air as she falls from gravity.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel falls as well.
<Chad`Winters> 6The man stares starry eyed at the awesome power of Shi-boyhan, than again, he's delusional.
* Seraphna toses the rod at her, at the spot that Ariel keeps sparking from.
<DeathStar> 6* The rod hits the armor, and just falls off.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel lands, hten dashes as Sera falls. She leaps up, knocking Sera back higher up
* Seraphna lands, groaning, she stands, readying the saber again.
<Chad`Winters> <Man> You did it! You used the mighty Shiboygan! 6Tears begin flowing down his cheeks.
* Seraphna apparently doesn't land yet, she goes flying, waiting on this fall.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel kicks off a tree trunk, meeting Sera in a flying arc, swingnig her sword at her.
* Seraphna meets her blade and twists, spining in the air and slicing down at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel tilts her head back, does a mid-air back flip, and begins to fall.
* Seraphna calculates, she forms her gun adn fires right at where Ariel falls.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is hit and hits the ground. She rises, her armor sparking more.
* Seraphna lands, falling to one knee, panting hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel stands, showing no signs of weariness, though her armor has been definitely cracked in her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* With an exposed inside showing.
* Seraphna eyes the exposure, knowing it has to be a gamble, but it's all she has left, she stands slowly, bringign the saber to bear.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel dashes to the right, bouncing off a tree and goes to the left, flipping as she lands on another trunk, then kicks off at Sera.
* Seraphna moves, her world slow motion as she twists to one side, bringing her blade to bear against Ariel's, she thrusts a hand forward, but before it gets too close to Ariel, a stream of water flies into the exposed area, swimming to do it's dirty work.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel jerks back rom the hit.
<Seraphna> *The water, charged from her last effort, wrecks havoc inside, as she falls back, coughing hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel steps back, jerking her body a few times.
* Seraphna groans, panting hard, she crawls back weakly.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel leans against a tree, her body twitching a few times.
<Seraphna> "...I-I demand you upgrade... my freaking threat level..."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel closes her eyes, then opens them, a deep red color.
<Seraphna> "...B-Bullshit..."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Your threat level is indeed a S.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel goes to lift her arm, but it doesn't move
<Seraphna> "...Y-You're never... hurting my Mother... or friends..."
* Seraphna gets herself up on one knee, groaning.
<DeathStar> <Voice> That's enough, Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel pauses, and steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* William Spade steps out, wearing a Janus battle uniform.
* Seraphna blinks, her eyes changing back to that focused and unfocused look.
<Seraphna> "...William..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I must say, you proved to me as great of a challenge as your memories led me to believe.
<DeathStar> *be
<Seraphna> "...I only... learned from the best..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Indeed. But a master never teaches all his tricks.
<Seraphna> "...H-Had to learn a few of my own... along the way..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lifts his gun at her forehead. "The water attack is quite impressive. But I only needed Ariel to wear you down so you can't use it."
<Seraphna> "...Why do you want to kill me... so badly..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... You really don't know, do you?
<Seraphna> "...No."
<DeathStar> <Spade> You are your own shatterpoint. I am merely saving Serena Cran from you - Seraphna.
<Seraphna> "...I shattered on my own... you should look in a mirror for shatterpoints..."
<Seraphna> "...My presence won't affect her now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade shakes his head. "You honestly do not understand. You two cannot exist at the same time. Serena Cran has her own destiny, and you yours. If she grows up, your destiny will end. The timeline will change to suit her. You see, there cannot be two of you."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Or will you destroy her to perserve your identity?
<Seraphna> "...Her timeline is her own... at this point I'm merely... out of place... out of realities."
<DeathStar> <Spade> All timelines converge after a point. It is merely a matter of time.
<Seraphna> "...You're really protecting her... as devoted as my William was..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Yes. I will save her from you. 6He fires at Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna suddenly moves, like she's pushed.
* Seraphna blinks, falling away.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Warren Carmichael step out, though it seems Spade's already known about them.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Ah, the calavary arrives, gallantly at the last moment.
* Seraphna pants, barely able to move, she sits up slowly.
<DeathStar> <Spade> We will meet again, Seraphna. It is fated. 6 He turns, facing the wounded Ariel. "Ariel, engage in a point to point energy tranfer."
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Understood. 6* Ariel touches Spade with her good arm, and they both vanish in a beam of light.
<DeathStar> <Warren Carmichael> What the hell?!
<Seraphna> "...Figures..."
<Seraphna> "...THey would be playing with Progenitor Tech before anyone even knows about it..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Prog what?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your are correct.
<Seraphna> "...Nothing... help me up."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs Seraphna, lifting her up.
<Seraphna> "...Ah... my knight in shining armor..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... whatever.
* Seraphna coughs, "...I need a nap."
* Alicia|AFK is now known as Red_Fox
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah, you look like hell.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs her saber, pocketing it
<Seraphna> "...I won... I think."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, it's not that much of a victory until we figure out where they went.
<Seraphna> "...A janus base, somewhere, they mean us to come to them."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you know how many bases Janus has?
<Chad`Winters> 6The man runs upto Warren, wrapping his arms around him in a hug. 1"MY HERO!"
<Seraphna> "...Yes, but only a few with Dragoon labs. Dad will want to make sure the first ever true hybrid is born right."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes.
<Ariel> "If Venerator is working with Cran, then it's more than just Janus we need to worry about..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren twists his hand a bit
<Seraphna> "...If he's really working with him."
<Chad`Winters> 6The man yelps in pain, dropping down in agony*
<DeathStar> <Warren> We cannot simply leap from base to base hoping to find them.
<Seraphna> "...Remember, those two break up in a short while over something."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> "...We'll figure it out soon enough... right now I need rest."
<DeathStar> <Warren> If what you say is true, I don't think you have time to rest.
* Red_Fox reappears, having patched herself up while away
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you have no clues at all?
* Ariel trys to think of anything she might know that could be useful
<Seraphna> "...We've got time. They want us to rush."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts. "I hope you're right and we don't regret it."
<Ariel> "We'll proceed with speed, not haste. They have too much in play."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It wouldn't be "logical" to proceed until we know their destination.
<Red_Fox> "I wish I could remember what the breakup was over."
<Seraphna> "...If it comes down to what he said... I'm afraid I can't be the one to survive."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arches an eyebrow.
<Red_Fox> "You can't?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren suddenly narrows his eyes. How did he wind up with these jokers again?
<Seraphna> "...I know the kid better then anyone, she doesn't deserve to die."
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do as you want. I'm going to find the base. 6He turns and walks off.
<Seraphna> "...I do... however."
* Seraphna is in Warrens arms. o.o
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just casually let go
* Seraphna lands on the ground with and oof.
<Red_Fox> "If that's what you believe..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> His temperment is consistent in any timeline.
* Red_Fox turns to follow Warren
<Seraphna> "...Warren... fine, look for it... I can't help like this though."
<Seraphna> "Red..."
<Seraphna> "...I don't know what to believe right now, I just know who my enemies are."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes. His enemies.
<Seraphna> "...I-I think..."
* Seraphna rubs her head.
<Seraphna> "...I know the base?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You 'think'?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns back, crossing his arms.
<Red_Fox> "Concentrate on defeating the enemies, then.. and where?"
<Seraphna> "...I can't really explain it... but I know it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wonderful. Perhaps you can "think" it out.
* Seraphna rubs her head a little more, "...That's what I'm doing."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He was being sarcastic.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks completely innocent
<Seraphna> "...I've never been there before, or seen it... but... I remember Dad mentioning it..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over at Ariel and Fox.
<Seraphna> "...There's the Beta site... been there... Chad... or Alex's birthplace.. no..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you wish me to go through your memories? 6She offers Sera.
* Red_Fox waits
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<Seraphna> "...Had enough in my head in my lifetime."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods with understanding.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Somehow, I doubt seriously you'll pluck the location out of that head of yours.
<Ariel> "If you can't recall more about it, then we have nothing to go on."
<Seraphna> "...It is cluttered, what with three sets of memories."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Right. Well, I'll just do it the old fashioned way. You all wait here. It'll be better if I inquire alone.
<Seraphna> "...Here?"
<Red_Fox> "Be careful."
* Seraphna looks at the woods about them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> My house blew up.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks off, swishing away into the dark
<Ariel> "...take care, Warren."
<DeathStar> 6 Erevis sits down, applying some medical shots to Sera, giving her booster shots for her energy.
* Seraphna blinks and reaches into her pockets, feeling about for something.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a torn piece of paper.
* Seraphna pulls it out, looking at it.
<DeathStar> 6* It's Spade hand-writing, and a series of Nav. Coordinates.
<Seraphna> "...Go get Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her.
<Seraphna> "...I know where the base it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and steps off to get Warren without any questions
<Seraphna> "...Fate my ass, he knew I had it."
<Red_Fox> "Probably."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Warren return, Warren looking annoyed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This had better be good.
<Seraphna> "...How's the coordinates to the base."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just looks skepetical.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Did you pull this out of that junked head of yours, too?
<Seraphna> "...Spade gave them to me... well... the Spade from my timeline."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, THAT's reassuring. 6He holds out his hand for the paper.
* Seraphna hands it over.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why give you the key to beating him?
<Seraphna> "...It is actually."
<Seraphna> "...He saw it all coming."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes it, then pulls out a datapad, entering the coordinates into it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her odly.
<Seraphna> "...Yes?"
<Red_Fox> "Either he's confident he'll win, or he wants to be beaten."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Nothing. ... 6He glances at the datapad. "I'm afraid that your coordinates are in the middle of nowhere, 30 miles from the city."
<Red_Fox> "The future version."
<DeathStar> <Warren> No bases.
<Seraphna> "...Perfect place for a base then, Warren."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *sighs*
<Red_Fox> "... or it's a trick."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course. I forgot Cran enjoyed building underground lairs.
<Seraphna> "...Dad has bases all over the place that aren't in the registry."
<Ariel> "Cran is like that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Ariel> "If this doesn't work out, we should check volcanos."
* Seraphna rests back, "...Yep, I was born in one."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Are you serious?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Ariel.
<Seraphna> "...She's serious."
<Ariel> "Only half."
<Seraphna> "...Though it has to be an active one."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ....
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm going to get the shuttle. 6He looks like he wants painkillers for a headache.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks off, holding his head.
<Seraphna> "...Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah?
<Red_Fox> "Be careful with the painkillers."
<Seraphna> "...Bit of advice, no matter how bad the pain is, the drugs are worse."
<DeathStar> <Warren> When I'm with you guys, I seriously doubt that
<Seraphna> NRP: *everyone stares at each other*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren swoops off into the night like Batman
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is an interesting man. 6She sounds somewhat fond.
* Red_Fox smiles. "He is, isn't he?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you feeling better, Seraphna?
<Seraphna> "...A bit, I'll have to rest for the trip."
<Ariel> "Warren is... unique. There's no question of that."
<Seraphna> "...Beating Ariel is hard work, isn't it Mother."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head as she looks between Sera and Ariel
* Seraphna smiles fondly.
* Ariel shrugs a little.
<Seraphna> "...Mom could kick my ass, but anyways..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, as if agreeing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Stella Akai, do you require anymore medical shots for your wounds?
<Red_Fox> "I'm fine.. but thankyou for the offer."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to contemplate something.
<Red_Fox> "Hmm?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wonder if William Spade has the ability to jump bodies. We do not have Wind to prevent it this time.
<Seraphna> "...Don't know if he's learned it yet... this is 11 years ago."
<Ariel> "It may be best to refrain from killing him in any case. I doubt he would abandon his body to prevent himself from being subdued."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, the unpleasant memories of Spade inside her still fresh.
<Seraphna> "...We need to knock them all out."
<Seraphna> "...As much as we might wnat to, killing them would disrupt time more."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do not kill them, they will most likely use their knowledge to bring about more disruption.
<Seraphna> "...Like I said before, the only people who can really afford to die here is us."
<Seraphna> "...We'll see."
<Seraphna> "...Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Seraphna> "...How powerful are you? Could you... wipe his mind clean of the last few days?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Our influences are too great and too varied. It will be impossible to erase our presence here.
<Seraphna> "...Impossible maybe, but we can cover a great deal."
<Seraphna> "...Erasing the encyclopedia Seraphna in Spade's head might do that more then just a bit."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She gives Sera a sad look. "You cannot avoid the damage we have done here, Seraphna."
* Ariel doesn't look happy about the fact that's happened in the first place.
<Ariel> "If we need to kill Spade, then it would be best to subdue him first. I doubt his powers work without him being conscious."
* Seraphna sighs, looking sad, "...I guess... I wish we could... but... if I have to destroy him... then so be it."
<Seraphna> "...How to protect the future as best we can though..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Just do what you can do.
<Red_Fox> "That probably involves removing Spade from the picture."
<Seraphna> "...It's sad to think that his own justifications are so simple as they were before... it's nothing wrong he's doing but the damage it will cause... well yes he did wrong... but you know what I mean."
<Red_Fox> "... no, I don't know. Are you defending him?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Time follows the easiest paths available, and it abhors paradoxes. Remember that, Seraphna.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands near them.
<Seraphna> "...That it does..."
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp lowers and Warren eyes them all.
* Red_Fox heads on board
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel, examining her, as if worried about something.
<Ariel> "...we'll make due with what we have." *moves to the shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps on.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Ariel, acting a tad more friendly. Ahhh, crushes die hard. Even before they're suppose to begin
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes the ramp.
* Seraphna takes a seat and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll head for your hidden base. However, I imagine this will be far from easy. After all, all your enemies are probably gathered there.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a seat in the pilot seat, glancing at them.
<Seraphna> "...Hey Mom?"
<Red_Fox> "I'd be worried if they weren't."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're confident, for a woman with a gaping hole in her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says dryly.
* Red_Fox has pretty much patched it up over the time she was away
<Ariel> "..hmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lifts the shuttle up from the forest, turning it toward the location of the hidden base, and boosts forward
<Seraphna> "...I might not make it out of this alive... if I don't... tell everyone I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Seraphna.
* Seraphna looks down at her hands, deep in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her forehead a little.
* Ariel just nods a little
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... .oO (My enemies.)
