* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20071206.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Tunnels
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out both his guns, looking down the dark tunnel.
<SPoC> Options. 6She glances at Warren, then down the tunnel as she searches for any signs of booby trips and trip-wires.
* Cassandra` holding her assault gun as she waits for Warren's go ahead...
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have little options.
* Marcus` slips his pistol out, he waits for Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren calmly just stands there, despite time running out
<Cassandra`> ...sir...we are on a time budget.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Cass. Can you use your optics to locate anymore possible threats along that hallway?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are correct. Take point and lead the way, Arakawa.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks around, seeing if there's any sign of ventilation... a tunnel this deep would need it.
<DeathStar> 6* None that Setsuna can see.
* Cassandra` nods and takes point, using her optics to ID any devices or persons ahead in the tunnel..
<DeathStar> 6* Since the tunnel takes a sharp left turn up ahead, where Mysterious Marcus X went, she can't see anyone or anything, and she can't see through the walls.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along behind Cassandra, using her body as a human shield.
* SPoC moves behind Warren now.
* Cassandra` moves forward...then stops right before the corner...peeking around...
* Marcus` moves along, Theron behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnel is empty. MMX must have run ahead. It's a long tunnel, but it looks clear. However, she can only see so far. It seems that walking will take forever at this point, though
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna takes up the rear then, keeping her eyes open.
<Cassandra`> ...its clear...but there is alot of distance to cover... *proceeds around the corner and down the tunnel*
<SPoC> He has had more than enough time to set up traps. We must move quickly but cautiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Proceeds---at what speed?
* Cassandra` moving at walking speed at the moment...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along behind Cassandra.
<Cassandra`> Sir...there is alot of ground to cover...we're going to need to move fast.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've already noted that, however, since you ARE at point.
<Cassandra`> Keep your distance then... *passes the passive scanning to her internal computer to warn her of iminent threats and then starts at a run*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren counts to a arbritary number in his head, then runs.
<Marcus`> Oh this is going to be interesting. *he notes, glancing over SPOC's shoulder*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna heads after Warren, not waiting for the others
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Define interesting
* SPoC hesistates than moves, keeping the same distance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs along.
* SPoC readjusts with Setsuna barging infront of her.
* Marcus` moves behind Cheryl, about a 6 foot gap between them, Theron behind him around that distance.
<Marcus`> Well. There's a highly likely chance somethings going to go boom
<DeathStar> 6* As they run along, it would seem Cassandra's sensors are faulty. Her foot begins to hit a trip wire that was placed at her ankle.
* Cassandra` stops...then eases back....
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, stopping while running doesn't usually work.
<Cassandra`> NRP: AFK
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb goes off.
<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!!!!
<SPoC> NRP: WTF?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jerks back as the explosion goes off.
* Marcus` grunts, sliding to a stop, shielding his face as the bomb goes off.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lands on his back, being six feet back.
* SPoC slides backwards then falls on her ass.
* Marcus` lowers his arm, peering at the obvious cloud of dust in front of them, waiting for it to clear.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands, eyeing the damaged Cassandra, who appears to be missing a few parts.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna goes to check on Cass once her player manages to spell her name right.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What's her condition?
<Marcus`> Well if 'Fucked up' is a condition...*he coughs* Sorry, Nervous.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "That was some explosion... can you still walk, Cass?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kneels, eyeing her legs and arm. "Her legs took the primary damage."
<Marcus`> <Theron> That will be an expensive repair indeed. *he frowns from his spot*
<SPoC> She was a general. 6Her voice is neutral making it hard to tell if this is a gjoke.
<Cassandra`> NRP: interruptions...interruptions...
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...her legs aren't that much of an issue, if she doesn't wake up to use them."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lifts up Cassandra, then grabs a rope, tying her to Theron's back.
<Cassandra`> I'm fully aware.
<Marcus`> <Theron> At least we get to have lovely chat's about being a cyborg. *he notes to Cass, a half smile on his face*
<Marcus`> NRP: chats*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He frowns after he finishes, having lost valuable time. He tries to decide who should take point now.
* Marcus` slowly hide behind Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Guess it's my turn.
<SPoC> I shall go. 6She moves infront of Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes SPoC, then Cheryl. "The Dragoon can take more damage."
<SPoC> She will be more effective at full strength.
* Marcus` closes his eyes and exhales slowly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. You take point.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Good luck."
* SPoC nods and begins running forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows along at a safe pace.
<DeathStar> 6* space
* Marcus` begins to move after Warren now, a safe distance between them.
<Marcus`> *Theron waits until last, since he's packing the C3P0 of this session.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna follows after Marcus but before Theron because...
<DeathStar> 6* Because?
<Ariel> 6* Everyone else was named already.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves along after Setsuna.
<Ariel> 6* But before Theron
<DeathStar> 6* As SPoC runs, she begins to press against a leg high trip wire.
* SPoC squats and rolls leaps forward, rolling.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jerks back, throwing his arms back to stop everyone else.
* Marcus` skids to a stop. As does Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* The trip wire explodes, sending shrapnel between SPoC and Warren.
* SPoC rolls forward her body tucked to minimize the damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren twists his back, to protect his vital organs.
<DeathStar> 6* 'cept the kidneys. No helpin those if shrapnel flies.
* Marcus` ducks and protects himself, incase he might be hit.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and turns with Cass facing the shrapnel.
<Cassandra`> ...gee...thanks...
<Marcus`> <Theron> Sorry, but you'll survive. Protect that face of yours.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves forward after the explosion, wasting not ime.
* Marcus` begins again, moving after Warren. "Is SPoC alright?" he can't tell yet.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna keeps moving.
* SPoC shoves off the floor and lands on her feet and moves back into a run, shrapnel imbedded in her tact suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves along.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves again. "I missed talking to you Cassie."
* Marcus` just nods once when he sees SPoC's movement in front of Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach the end of the tunnel, where a large metal door stands before them.
<Cassandra`> ... ... ....are you flirting with me?
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna notes Warren didn't take the lead until the traps were passed
* SPoC slides upto it, stopping. She begins pulling out shrapnel from her arms, blood slinging off. 1"We have hit a wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren still isn't in the lead.
<Marcus`> <Theron> If talking to you is flirting. Then I believe I am.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna looks to Cheryl, "So, Miss Firepower, got any way to open this?"
<Marcus`> Estimated thickness? *he looks to SPoC*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'Miss Firepower'?
* Marcus` unsheaths the ripple blade. "I do. But it might take a minute."
* SPoC taps it with her knuckle. 1"200 cm's thick."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tries something less crazy. He opens the door via the opening instrument, and steps to the side as the door actually opens.
<Cassandra`> Well, I'll let it slide by.
* SPoC moves to the side opposite Warren.
* Marcus` laughs slightly, shifting to the side.
<Marcus`> *Theron also shifts to the side, though it is harder with Cass on him.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is dumbfounded that they set traps, but didn't lock the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up three fingers.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops down to two fingers.
* SPoC nods to Warren, slipping her gun out.
<Cassandra`> These guys are truly sick.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops to one finger.
<Marcus`> *Theron goes silent, though he had an awesome retort.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes a fist.
* SPoC kneels and twists in, sweeping her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes high, moving his gun. Suddenly he's shot in the back from above.
* Marcus` shifts his pistol out, then shift, sweeping with his pistol, going high.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the ground with a grunt, landing face first.
* SPoC spins around fully and aims upwards from where Warren was shot.
* Marcus` jerks his pistol upward to where he believes Warren was shot from.
<DeathStar> 6* A man leaps down, kicking SPoC's gun from her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* He then knocks SPoc into Marcus.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna fires at the man then moves through the door.
* Marcus` jerks to catch her, but he definitely doesn't have a shot now.
<DeathStar> 6* The man has MArcus and SPoC between him and Setsuna
* SPoC slams into Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* But if Setsuna WANTs to shoot.
* Marcus` pulls himself and SPoC to the side.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is tempted, but holds her fire
* SPoC shoves off Marcus and pulls her combat knife out and swipes at the man's chest.
<DeathStar> 6* The man kicks the door shut, sealing Marcus and SPoC and Warren on his side.
<DeathStar> 6* The man leaps backwards in a flip.
* SPoC presses forward, swiping vertically this time.
* Marcus` pulls his pistol and frowns at SPoC moving in, he waits for a clear shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The man leans to the side, grabbing her hand and spinning her int oa wall.
* Marcus` lowers his pistol and hisses, moving in to kick out at the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The man ducks the kick.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks open the door again.
* SPoC runs into the wall and she turns around and she hurls her knife as the man ducks.
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit in the side by the knife. He rips it out.
* Marcus` presses his one leg into the ground and leaps into the air, moving to get on the man's opposite side. Though he may be able to counter that.
<Marcus`> *Theron has his pistol out, but isn't in the position to fight with Cass on his back like this.
* SPoC studies the man now.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna moves in low, trying to elbow the man in the gut, then kick his legs out
<DeathStar> 6* The man kicks the door into Setsuna's face as she tries to get through the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The man appears to be wearing a tactical suit, and a mask. He has a sheathe on his back, like a ninja.
* SPoC pulls another combat knife from her boot and she takes a step towards the man.
* Marcus` lands on his opposite side(with the others being on the side he just came from) and kicks out for the man's gut.
<Cassandra`> ...hold back...
<Marcus`> <Theron> I am. Have your gun ready incase I jerk around Cassie.
<Cassandra`> ...locked and loaded...
* SPoC moves in, swiping diagonally at the man
<DeathStar> 6* The man backflips away from SPoC and MArcus
<Marcus`> NRP: towards the rest of the group?
<DeathStar> NRP: No, not toward the door.
<Marcus`> NRP: Because Marcus jumped around him, to flank him.
<DeathStar> NRP: Aye, so he's getting closer toward Marcus, further from SPoC and the door.
<Marcus`> NRP: ok ok. Sorry.
<DeathStar> NRP: But still to Marcus' side
* SPoC hops backwards and tries to kick the door back open.
* Marcus` hops back so that the man can't get a stab in as he comes down, then presses forward again, still focusing on kicks, he sends one for the man's knee, aiming to knock him off balance.
<DeathStar> 6* The door swings back open, andb reaks.
* SPoC motions to Warren then moves in towards the man again
<DeathStar> 6* The man leaps up.
<DeathStar> 6* And grabs a pipe in the tunnel, pulling himself up.
* Marcus` obviously misses so his whole body twists, he pulls up his pistol and fires 3 rounds up, as he struggles to regain himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through the doorway, checking on Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron takes the time to step forward slightly. "How is he, Cherly?"
<Marcus`> NRP: Cherly*
* SPoC looks upwards at the pipes, her mask shifting around as she tries to find him.
<Marcus`> NRP: FUCK!
<DeathStar> 6* The man swings and lets go, landing behind Marcus. He plulls out a sword from his sheathe, slicing at Marcus' back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl checks. "Tactical suit took the blow." 6* She slaps Warren awake.
* Marcus` rolls forward, sliding up to a knee, he pulls his own blade out, opting to use melee instead of pistols. He waits for the man to press his attack.
<DeathStar> 6* The man aims his glowing dark sword at Marcus, then pulls out a gun with a free hadn and fires at Marcus' chest.
* SPoC moves in again, heading right for Marcus. She leaps over him and throws her combat knife at the guy.
<DeathStar> 6* The man blocks with his gun, losing it.
* Marcus` shifts to try and let the ripple blade devour the bullet.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna eyes the sword as she steps out, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet, grunting.
* SPoC lands and presses her attack. She rolls forward grabbing the knife as it lands and she sweep kicks for hte man's legs
<DeathStar> 6* The man slices along the ground, aiming to remove SPoC's leg.
* Marcus` moves forward also, shoving his blade out to parry the man's attack.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the fighting. No sense in getting in the way right now.
<Marcus`> NPR: making sure not to destroy poor SPoC of course.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus would have to barrel over SPoC.
* Marcus` would opt to just jump over SPoC completely slashing out to parry the sword, kicking out with his left leg to knock the man back, then.
<DeathStar> 6* The man shifts his sword when Marcus goes to parry, and swings upward into Marcus.
* Marcus` tries his damnest to shift his blade to parry intime, if he's not fast enough, then there's not much he can do, being in mid-air.
<DeathStar> 6* This guy seems to be a superior sword artist, and Marcus never seems to train with blades.
* SPoC shifts to the side, and hurls her combat knife towards the guy's wrist.
<SPoC> NRP: Sword wrist
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit in the wrist, but doesn't stop his attack.
* Marcus` doesn't train much in sessions, unless with DIas, which is a hand to hand ordeal, but I digress. Marcus see's the blade coming forward and just attempts to press off against the wall and slam into the opposite side, so that the attack does minimal damage, unless he's slashing horizontally, then Marcus would be owned.
<Marcus`> <Theron> So why are we watching the one-armed guy fight with a sword?
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus is owned, taking a deep gash along the side. The sword unleashes a black matter ball into him, sending him flying into the doorway, and knocking anyone between him and it, if they don't move.
<Cassandra`> ...good question.
<Ariel> Setsuna> Because he doesn't have the sesen to tag out.
<DeathStar> 6* The man rips the knife out, then switches sword hands.
<Cassandra`> But I can't line up a shot anyway...
* SPoC slides her hand along her other boot and pulls out another combat knife.
<Marcus`> *Theron shifts to the side. "I think that's his sign for a tag out."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ducks Marcus, grabbing him.
<DeathStar> 6* The masked ninja begins to retreat.
* Marcus` got fucked up, but he does not that he wants that sword.
* SPoC advances afterwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at him, but the ninja blocks the attack,.
<DeathStar> 6* The man turns, cutting a pipe. Steam shoots out at between him and SPoC.
* SPoC slides to a stop, quickly adopting a CQC defensive stance
<DeathStar> 6* The man moves onward.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his watch. "The military is already in the tunnels."
* Marcus` lays there, gashed, bleeding, and smoking slightly. He's awake, but he's hurting like a mother fucker.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Marcus. "I don't carry med kits, sorry."
* Marcus` just waves a hand, wincing at his movement.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps him to his feet, throwing an arm around her shoulder. She moves to the steam.
<SPoC> Than we need a plan Warren.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "So boss, what's our plan?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Continue forward. We need to stop the steam.
<Marcus`> <Theron> If perhaps we knew what direction the steam came from, he could cut back that way and clear our way. If...it was coming from that way.
* SPoC eyes the pipe than follows it back the way they came.
<SPoC> NRP: with her eyes.
<SPoC> 3rd pipe from the left. Fire a hole into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims and fires.
<Marcus`> I miss my arm. *he says sadly to Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.
<DeathStar> 6* The steam dies down
* SPoC turns and begins advancing down the tunnel again
<Cassandra`> ...mmmm...self repair systems have got me mobile again, I think...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Cassandra's missing legs.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Uh huh.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Nice try Cassie. *he starts to move again*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to move along, taking point. He waves his gun, trying to locate the ninja.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna heads forward, looking for threats.
<DeathStar> 6* A shadow hides in the pipes above them.
<DeathStar> 6* It drops down, piercing Warren in the back with a sword.
* SPoC kicks forward, swiping at the shadows back, behind behind Warren
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja turns, bringing Warren along with his sword, letting SPoC kick Warren.
<Marcus`> *Theron jerks his rifle forward, waiting for a clear shot. He almost forgot he had it, har har.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna reluctantly holds her fire again. She moves to the side, trying to block warren with one arm and stab the ninja.
* SPoC twists the kick in an attempt to pull Warren off the blade and into the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is ungracefully saved.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stumbles to his knees, holding his chest, which is stained red.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja leaps back in a flip.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna NOW shoots at the ninja since no one is in the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja blocks with it's sword.
* SPoC quickly kneels down and begins to assess Warren's wound
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm fine. Stop that thing.
<Marcus`> *Theron tisks slightly, moving forward slightly more. If he could get a shot, he would full auto the sap, but le sigh.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna resists the urge to let him try to block a grenade. She moves forward as she fires, readying her knife in the other hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja blocks again.
* SPoC nods and stands up moving in behind Setsuna
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna uses an SMG. She's firing more than one bullet at a time.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja blocks again and again.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna tries to smack the side of the sword with the gun and stab the ninja with the knife.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja swings his sword one second sooner as she tries to smack, unleashing a dark matter ball at Setsuna at close range.
<Marcus`> <Theron> He's good. *he notes, glancing down at Warren*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch.
* SPoC leaps up and grabs onto the pipes and swings up.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna is floored.
<DeathStar> 6* The ninja rushes forward, making his first real mistake. He stabs downward at Setsuna, trying to gut her.
* SPoC holds herself up, giving anyone a clear shot
<Cassandra`> ...Theron...fire.
* Marcus` seeing Sets down, and SPoC Up, unleashes some good ol fire towards the ninja.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna fires up at the ninja he charges forward
<Marcus`> NRP: Theron*
<DeathStar> 6* The man is hit by Theron and Setsuna, falling backwards onto his back
* Marcus` keeps his gun trained on the ninja as he advances.
<Marcus`> NRP: ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Now that's how you deal with a sword user."
* Marcus` is now known as Theron`
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna grabs an adhesive grenade from her belt and throws it at the ninja.
* SPoC lets go and drops into a crouch.
<DeathStar> 6* After being shot, the ninja doesn't appear to be moving anyway, so he's grenaded
<Theron`> <Marcus> I'll keep that in mind. *he says in a tired voice*
* Theron` pauses, staring.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This doesn't appear to be the man that trapped us in here.
* SPoC moves over to the man. She kneels down and grabs the man's mask, moving to pull it off
<DeathStar> 6* Warren uses a shot from his tactical suit for his pain.
* Theron` keeps his gun trained, advancing.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets up slowly, "...there's more than one of these fuckers?"
<Cassandra`> ...my question is...was General Steel ever in the motorcade...?
<DeathStar> 6* The man is unmasked. It's Drake, with some sort of device on the side of his head, on his left temple.
<SPoC> There is something attached to this man's temple.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...thought I reconized that sword."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<SPoC> Should I remove it?
<Theron`> It might be unsafe to remove directly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Thomas Drake. He was one of the ones captured when we got back.
<Theron`> Yes. He worked with us, he was a good kid.
<Theron`> Or is. *he pauses, frowning at himself*
* SPoC reaches down, checking for a pulse
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not to be the bitch of the group, but these tunnels are probably crawling with military soldiers
<DeathStar> 6* A faint one.
<Theron`> Carry him. We need to continue.
<Cassandra`> Might be a control device of some sort...
<SPoC> If we is your comrade than we should bring him with. 6She stands up.
<SPoC> NRP: he
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Likely is."
<Cassandra`> Another dirty secret at work then...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ties him to CAssandra, who is tied to Theron.
* Theron` grunts, leaning over slightly. "I am overjoyed that I can be of use." He says slightly sarcastic.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tests his chest wound, breathing heavily, but doesn't appear in pain since using his shot.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets proceed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Good to see you carrying your own weight, Theron."
<SPoC> Agreed. 6She starts moving forward again.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along, moving stiffly.
<Theron`> I feel that this is my calling. *he begins to move again*
<Cassandra`> ..I'm getting my body reinforced...hell...I'm signing up for the crazy blue girl's liquid armor treatment after this one...
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wakes up in the back of a car, next to Dias. She screams.
* SPoC is now known as Dias
* Dias jerks awake, his eyes quickly searching around. 1"WhaT?! WHA?T!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pushes Dias off of her.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Its about time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits up. "Are we dead?"
* Dias grimaces as he's pushed off Kat.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Does it hurt?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A little.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Then you're alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her temples. "Where is everyone?"
<Dias> My entire body feels like I slammed into the ground at 30 knots.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Trapped in a tunnel.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans out, then pauses. "Do you guys hear something?"
<Dias> Just ringing in my ears. 6He groans as he looks around
<DeathStar> 6* The burning jet, still burning, appears to not be the source of something rumbling. Coming down the tunnel is several military tanks
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Likely your human military.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We need to get out of here.
<Dias> Ok, I can't take on tanks.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> I concur. Are you both mobile?
<Theron`> NRP: You're in a car. Drive it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think I can run. Um, lets drive the car.
<Dias> We're in a car...
* Dias suddenly goes pale. 1"Oh god, she's going to drive?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well..
<DeathStar> 6* The scene shifts to the car leaping ahead with tanks chasing after it, firing at it. And yes, Myria is driving it.
<Dias> I told you we were safer facing the tanks ourselves!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grips the back of a seat. "Yeah right!"
<DeathStar> 6* A tank fires at the car.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *swerves
<DeathStar> 6* The car swerves to the side just in time. The explosion rips a hole.
* Dias tumbles across the seat and slams into the opposite car door
<DeathStar> 6* A hill can be seen up ahead. If one goes fast enough, they can soar through the air all dramatically.
<Dias> Oh god. Oh God. OH GOD!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't do it, don't do it!
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *hits the accelerator*
<DeathStar> 6* The car zooms over the hill, doing air time.
* Dias latches onto Kat, holding her tightly
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* IT comes back down, bouncing roughly as it zooms down the hill.
<DeathStar> 6* The tanks roll after them.
* Dias slams upwards from the bounce and hits his head on the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses Dias to soften damage.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Do you want to get away or do you want a smooth ride?
<DeathStar> 6* Myria begins to approach a wooded forest. Only a crazy person would drive into the forest.
<Dias> God, if you're listening and I know you aren't. If you let us live, I promise to do a good deed in return. Any good deed, I won't be picky.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *charges forward*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *opens her eyes and screams as trees zoom by*
<DeathStar> 6* The opposite game begins again
* Dias for once in a long time, the look of fear is pasted on his face.
<DeathStar> Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Cassandra`> rlrlrlrlr
<DeathStar> 6* Myria zooms through at speeds so incredible, that it's possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hugs Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Part 2 begins
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Right, Left, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Cassandra`> llrlrrllr
* Dias hugs Kat in return, holding her tighlty.
<DeathStar> NRP: Holy fuck
<DeathStar> 6* Myria does the impossible again, zooming through the forest. Tanks crash in the background
<Theron`> NRP: There's no D or U's!
<Theron`> NRP: She's high on OMEGA COKE! *runs about*
<DeathStar> 6* Final lightning round!
<DeathStar> 6 Left, Left, LEft, Right, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left

<DeathStar> NRP: HOLY FUCK
<DeathStar> 6* Myria zooms through the forest with no damage.
<DeathStar> NRP: I'm speechless, Jackieness.
<Cassandra`> NRP: I got praise!!!
<DeathStar> NRP: That was fucking fantastic.
* Dias 's jaw drops she slowly looks at Kat. 1"We died didn't we.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> N-No
<DeathStar> 6* The tanks are all defeated by Myria.
<Dias> I-We-We're alive?!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Myria - speechless.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think I could kiss you, Myria.
<Dias> I could watch Katrina kiss you.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> No time for my usual games. This is a dangerous situation.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Lets see if we can meet back up with the others. Then I'll show you my appreciation somehow
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Soldiers chase after the three wayward heroes.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy trips and falls.
<DeathStar> 6* One soldier aims a sniper rifle, trying to get a shot.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires a telekinetic wave back at the soldiers to give Billy time to get up
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands up. Lilith picks up Billy, turning to look at Raquel. "We must hurry, Oujosama."
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers are knocked back, not expecting such power from a little girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, one of Raquel's weapons falls from the tree toward her head.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel catches it, looking stunned
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel chitters down at her.
<DeathStar> <Lilith> We are getting aid from rodents?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sticks her tongue out at the squirrel.
<Ariel> Raquel> "I... guess so..."
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers recover, and open fire at them.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a portal turn the bullets around
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers are knocked about by their own bullets.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel leaps down on Raquel's head.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel closes it, and opens one for the team that'd take them out of sight of the soldiers
<DeathStar> 6* It points dramatically ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith moves through the portal.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel urges billy through, and heads through with the squirrel. It closes after her.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel has forgotten Billy is being carried
<DeathStar> 6* Overhead, they can see a medium sized airship flying overhead, perhaps the one that has taken the Jennifer kid
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith looks upward, pointing, her tail swishing.
<DeathStar> <Lilith> They are leaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers upward. "Oh well. Poor Jennifer."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns. "...that's... too simple..."
<DeathStar> <Lilith> Perhaps we are not important to them?
<Ariel> Raquel> "... we need to find the others before they do... some how..."
<DeathStar> <Lilith> Should we follow them, Oujosama?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...do you think that's a good idea...?"
<DeathStar> <Lilith> Most likely not.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *sighs, hanging there from Lilith's arm* I hate playing hero.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...let's find the others."
<DeathStar> <Lilith> How will we do this, Oujosama?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses. She's a kid. She's not good at this. Lilith is the tracker.
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith swishes her tail, apparantly not having an idea either, this time
<Ariel> Raquel> "...fine. We'll follow the big ship."
<DeathStar> <Lilith> If Oujosama wishes.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer is brought onto the bridge of the ship, where a strange man sits, one she hasn't seen before. His face has a scar along his face. "I thought you'd like to be here for when we close the net on your father."
* Jennifer` stares at him coldly.
<DeathStar> <Man> Please, take a seat. 6* He gestures
* Jennifer` complies, sitting down, wincing as her leg throbs in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* The man cups his hands together. "I'm so lucky to have gotten you. Warren Carmichael is a troublesome man."
<Jennifer`> "Why are you doing this?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Your father is a criminal who seeks to disorganize EarthGov.
<Jennifer`> "No he's not."
<DeathStar> <Man> And you call attacking military personnel a legal and good thing?
<DeathStar> 6* The man sneers at her
<Jennifer`> "He fights to stop the Dark Ones... when he came back form destroying one of their bases you all came after us."
<DeathStar> <Man> WRONG!!! 6* He shouts in her face
* Jennifer` just glares.
<DeathStar> <Man> *adjusts his uniform* Your father stole ships and went off on an unauthorized mission, and now attacks the military
* X1 has joined #taw
<Jennifer`> "That mission probably saved everyone from the Dark Ones."
<DeathStar> <Man> Of course. *waves his hand* La la la la. I ignore the obvious because my daddy is so great.
<Jennifer`> "I ignore jerks that point guns at kids."
<DeathStar> <Man> Oooo. Sticks and stones.
<DeathStar> <Man> Now sit back and enjoy the show.
* Jennifer` remains impassive looking and calm, a spitting image of her father's poker face.
<DeathStar> 6* The man leans back in his seat, opening a soda that's brought to him by someone and sipping it loudly.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren Carmichael pauses, eyeing the last stretch of tunnels - complete with about 20 soldiers, who are setting up barricades.
<DeathStar> 6* The light of day can be seen behind them.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...thinks the tunnel is structurely sound?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> We've already had one cave in further back, do you really want to risk blocking the remaining exit?
* Dias crouches, eyeing it.
<Theron`> NRP: GO DIAS!
<Dias> NRP: WOOO!
* Dias is now known as SPoC
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Yeah, but that part seemed to have a plane crash into it.
* Theron` pulls his rigle up. Frowning slightly, this isn't going to be easy.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Point.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the men, her eyes having a dangerous glint.
<SPoC> We should make our move while they're unprepared for a fight.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his stun level on the guns, then grunts.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...right. But there's not a lot of room to maneuver."
* Theron` stands behind Cheryl, which means he's leaning against the wall resting, his hand grasped over his wound. "This looks like Cheryl territory to me, folks." He says in a pained breath.
<Theron`> NRP: Marcus*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could throw a stun grenade, and a real grenade at the barricades. Disorganize them, then run in and hit them.
<SPoC> I agree with Cheryl.
<Theron`> I will assist if I can get these two off of my back.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna loads a stun grenade into her gun.
<Theron`> <Marcus> I'll stand here in pain, if that's ok.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks himself from a real grenade.
* Theron` shfits Cass to Warren, she's a small armory anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks Cassandra for grenades.
<Cassandra`> Take your pick.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your breasts do not interest me. 6* He takes a real grenade.
<Cassandra`> Stunners, ahesives, cryo...etc.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Setsuna. "On three."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Onetwothree.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren throws the grenade.
* Theron` readies his rifle, since he is still the pack mule, he makes sure is it on stun at least.
* SPoC stays crouched, keeping out of the way
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade lands next to a barricade, and explodes, sending it into pieces
<Cassandra`> Theron...I can cover your back...so focus on what's ahead...
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers eye the barricade being hit, then turns to look at the team, not being stunned.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Setsuna balefully.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers open fire.
* Theron` opens fire as well, shifting to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a sound, leaping forward and rolling.
<DeathStar> <Warren> New plan. Shoot away.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens fire.
* Theron` slides around the corner, he peeks and fires when he feels his body is up to it and when he won't hit anyone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes through friendly and enemy fire, getting behind enemies, then begins to hit them with her whip.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts and falls back from a shot.
* SPoC leaps up and grab onto the pipes, shifting above them. She begins to advance on the enemy from above.
* Theron` advances, firing still from soldier to soldier, he pauses and shifts so that Cass can fire as he lets his gun cool down. Course she'll have to shoot around Drake, but it's possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Shots fly in at Cassandra, since she can't move, this is going to be bad.
<Cassandra`> Theron!
* Theron` falls to the ground.
* Theron` grunts. "This is unfavorable." He notes.
* Cassandra` then swings her rifle as they hit the ground, firing a stun grenade at the soldiers.
<Theron`> HEADS! *he calls out, shielding himself*
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers and Cheryl are hit by a grenade. However, this is actually a good thing, as the soldiers are stunned and can't massacre the team in the tiny space.
* SPoC drops from the pipes and into a crouch. She grabs guard from behind and slams his head into the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* One of the soldiers furthest back in the tunnel, shielded by his buddies, fires at SPoC.
* Theron` cuts the rope, so Cass can fire and hops up, running into to dive into a group of soldiers, using his gun and his legs as his weapons.
* Cassandra` takes a bead on any soldiers in the far back, firing off stun shots.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers grunt, falling down
* SPoC body jerks from the shot, causing blood to exit from her frunt.
<SPoC> NRP: Front.
* SPoC she turns and grabs another guard and drives his head into her knee.
<Theron`> *Marcus leans around the corner and aims his pistol, closing one eye he takes aim for a guard and shoots a stun shot for his head.
<DeathStar> 6* A soldier stands up from being stunned.
* Theron` adjusts, slamming the butt of the gun down for the soldier standing up, almost getting hit by Marcus' shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier drops.
<DeathStar> 6* Only one soldier remains. He drops his weapons, raising his hands
* Theron` trains his gun on him. "Kick your gun to me."
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier complies.
<Theron`> On the ground. Hands behind your head.
* SPoC rises, blood drippng down her tact suit.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldier complies.
<Theron`> Everyone collect yourself. *he still aims at the guard as he approaches him*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is out cold.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays on his back, not moving.
<Theron`> *Marcus limps up to kneel down and check on Warren. "You dead?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't answer.
<Theron`> *Marcus checks for a pulse.
* SPoC moves over to Cheryl and kneels down and taps her cheek. 1"Awake."
<DeathStar> 6* He's alive.
<Theron`> *Marcus grunts as he taps his face. "I'm not able to carry you. Wake up."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't move.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't move.
* SPoC grabs Cheryl and she lifts her up, throwing her over her shoulders fire-man style
<Cassandra`> We need to evac.
<Theron`> *Theron takes this time to pat down the guard and cuff him once he determines he has no more equipment.
<Theron`> <Marcus> Grab Drake and start crawling, Cass. *he grabs Warren by the arm and begins to drag him towards the exit*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren suddenly aims his gun against Marcus' side. "Stop."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens his eyes, coughing hard. He appears to be bleeding more.
* Cassandra` pulls Drake on to her back and then starts crawling along...
<Theron`> *Marcus holds his hand up. "Can you move? You're worse off than me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs the side of the tunnel, pulling himself up. He winces. "Roll call. Who's alive?"
* Theron` stands up and lifts the guy up. "We all are. But Cheryl is out. I also have a hostage."
<SPoC> I am alive. Cheryl is stunned.
<Cassandra`> Arakawa with Drake.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...not dead."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gives Setsuna the evil eye.
<Theron`> <Marcus> Not very alive either. *he notes to Setsuna, moving down to help move Cass along*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren heads for the light at the end of the tunnel.
* SPoC follows behind Warren.
<Theron`> *Theron, with Marcus' help gets Cass and Drake back onto his back, then Marcus walks the guard towards the light as Theron walks along behind him with the two.
<Cassandra`> Thanks...
<Theron`> I couldn't let you crawl like an animal, Cassie. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's Heroes exit the tunnel - to find themselves facing 5 gears, 4 tanks, and 50 soldiers. All weapons aimed them.
<SPoC> This is unfortunate.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Theron`> <Marcus> ...tell me about it.
<Theron`> <Theron> Not even I can handle this.
<DeathStar> 6* A man in a uniform steps out. He has red hair, and brown eyes, and appears totally unrecognizable. "I warned you all to surrender when you had the chance."
* SPoC looks over at Warren now.
<Theron`> <Marcus> You looked better whenever you pretended to be me. *he notes, holding his side*
<DeathStar> <Man> Whatever.
<DeathStar> <Man> I'm afraid that I've decided it would just be stupid to capture you all, so you'll die right here.
<Theron`> It is a shame we do not have a 'Plan B'.
<DeathStar> <Warren> There's always a PLan B.
<Theron`> <Marcus> As long as Plan B isn't get shot and die. I'm all for it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ..
<DeathStar> <Man> Oh, this is rich. 6* He snaps his fingers and all the weapons begin to charge.
* SPoC looks back at the man now, judging distance.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a good 30 foot distance between them and the enemy.
<Theron`> <Marcus> I guess this hostage is useless, then?
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, in the background, a crazy person comes driving toward the enemy.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grips the seat. "What are you doing, Myria?!"
<SPoC> <Dias> Please tell me you don't plan on raming a tank.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...I don't know...suddenly they were in front of us instead of behind.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait, what do you mean suddenly?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans a bit to watch the car, then leans back.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I now have a Plan B.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points behind the guy, and then breaks character. "What the hell is that?!"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> If this were a movie, I would call what we just experienced a deus ex.
<DeathStar> 6* The man, and a few of the soldiers turn to look around at the car.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They're looking this way, Myria.
<SPoC> <Dias> They're staring at us.
<DeathStar> <Man> Isn't that one of our cars...?
<Theron`> *Theron looks towards Warren, then the car.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at the others, then raises his gun and shoots the nearest soldier while they are looking.
<DeathStar> 6* He then dashes to the right.
<Theron`> *Theron nods and begins to fire on soldier, shifting so Cass could peg targets too.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> We're providing the convenient distraction now.
* SPoC breaks off to the right, unable to fight with Cheryl on her shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Man> Dammit! SHOOT THEM! SHOOT THEM ALL!
<DeathStar> 6* A tank turns and begins to zoom after Myria.
* Cassandra` fires stun grenades into the center of the soldiers!
<Theron`> *Marcus trips the hostage and pulls up his pistol, firing at the man as he runs off to the right.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers are hit by the stun grenades, gettingk nocked back.
<Theron`> *Theron begins to move to the right, giving Cass even more targets now.
<DeathStar> 6* Soldiers open fire at Setsuna and Theron
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *takes a sharp turn!
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina holds on
<DeathStar> 6* The tank fires at MYria.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna lobs her grenade at the soldiers and takes cover
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers are hit by the grenade.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds onto Kat.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> swerves!
<DeathStar> 6* A gear fires a missile toward Setsuna
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, watch out!
<Theron`> Less Cover, more running Miss Setsuna. *he catches up with Warren, despite the people on his back*
<DeathStar> 6* WArren dives behind some rocks.
<DeathStar> 6* A gear zooms after the car.
* Cassandra` changes rounds to adhesive charges, firing them at the launch tubes of the gears!
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *hits the accelerator!
<DeathStar> 6* The missile is about to hit Setsuna!
* SPoC dives after Warren, sliding roughly.
<DeathStar> 6* One of the gears gets adhesived.
<Theron`> *Marcus grits his teeth as he tumbles behind them. "Oh jeez." He holds his side still. "I need some drugs.
<DeathStar> 6* The man fumes as chaos breaks out . "What the fuck is this? There's like 6 of them!"
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna doesn't have anywheres to go but out in the open, and that's not goign to help her from a missile
<DeathStar> 6* The missile zooms at Setsuna's head.
<Theron`> NRP: Uhh, you could run away?
<SPoC> NRP: Or duck it.
<Theron`> NRP: Fair enough.
<DeathStar> NRP: Running would be bad.
<DeathStar> 6* WArren fires at soldiers that aren't sutnned.
<Theron`> NRP: Quack wuack then.
<Ariel> 6 Setsuna... gets... further behind cover?
<Theron`> *Marcus lifts up and begins to fire, having the same idea as Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* The rock is hit by the missile, blowing rock into Setsuna.
<DeathStar> 6* A gear turns to aim at Warren's area, and fires missiles
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear lands in front of the car.
<Theron`> *Theron passes up Warren's area, moving on. "Get them, Cassie."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *turns sharply, swerving around it*
<DeathStar> 6* The gear fires guns.
<Theron`> *Marcus oh shits and jumps up, dragging SPoC and Cheryl with him as he retreats.
* Cassandra` aims and fires at the soldiers.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's cover area explodes, sending him falling on his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes, getting to her feet.
<DeathStar> <Man> What is this shit?! SHOOT THEM! SHOOT THEM! AIM YOUR.. 6* Grabs a gun and aims at Cassandra, firing.
<DeathStar> <Man> You don't even have fucking legs!
<Theron`> *Marcus falls forward, rolling along the ground, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear begins to move rock to find Setsuna. She is ninja. He can't just assume.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna stands up and fires at the man.
<DeathStar> 6* But Setsuna is helpful, so it fires a machine gun at her.
<SPoC> You have recovered. 6She notes to Cheryl.
* Cassandra` aims at the Man and then fires an adhesive grenade just to be a vixen.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna hates her timing
<Theron`> *Theron looks for more cover as he retreats with Cassie.
<DeathStar> 6* The man lets the Gear distract Setsuna, and then is hit by a adhesive grenade.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear grabs the car, picking it up. IT flies with it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Uh, we're flying.
<SPoC> <Dias> Not this again.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna tries to run past the gear to get in the blind spot from that machine gun
<DeathStar> 6* A tank rolls after Cassandra and Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear turns around to try to keep it's sights on Setsuna.
* Cassandra` changes out shells to a shaped charge and then fires it at the drive system of the tank.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna puts her gun on her harness, and grapples the top of the gear
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> I can see that... *pulls out her datapad and then tries to set up a link to the gear's systems*
<Theron`> Um. Cassie. *he turns to the right, giving Cass a chance to fire at it with something sposive.*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps up a gear leg, beginning to rip into it's head with her whip.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear assumes Setsuna has left, like a cowardly ninja.
<DeathStar> 6* IT turns to aim at SPoC.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria is 10% hacked.
<DeathStar> 6* The gear zooms higher and higher.
<Theron`> *Marcus pulls himself up to a knee, holding his head. "Yeah i'm sick of this." He grabs his chest, his body contorting as he begins to transform.
* SPoC stands up, eyeing the gear aiming at her. She suddenly breaks off, dashing to the side.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *keeps it up*
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna climbs up and plants a charge on the back over the engine. Then drops.
<DeathStar> 6* The tank fires at Theron

<DeathStar> 6* The tank is hit with Cassandra's attack.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna gets under cover and blows the detpack
<DeathStar> 6* Setsuna's gear falls over.
* Theron` pulls himself up to his knee, grunting as he continues to move around the tank, giving Cass time to fire again if the tank is still active. "Sorry for the bumpy ride, Cassie."
<Cassandra`> I've had worse.
<DeathStar> 6* The tank appears to be trying to recover.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *hack hack hack*
<DeathStar> 6* MYria is 100% hacked. The gear drops the car.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh god.
* Cassandra` fires another charge into the rear of the tank.
<DeathStar> 6* The tank is defeated.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't want to die this way. 6He looks to Kat. 1"Kiss me before I die so I know what heavan is like."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I refuse.
* Theron` shifts away from the explosion, looking for more enemies to be defeated.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sends her gear crashing.
<SPoC> <Dias> You would let me die never knowing what heavan feels like?
<DeathStar> 6* Two tanks are left. They appear to be aiming at Setsuna, finding her to be a ninja annoyance.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I refuse to die.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna uses a smoke bomb and gets out of there.
<Theron`> *Marcus straitens up, turning to locate a enemy. His wounds begin to heal. He glances up at the falling car.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Dumb dumb. *sends the gear to catch the car*
<DeathStar> 6* The gear catches the car moments before impact.
<DeathStar> 6* The tanks get ? over their ehads.
* Theron` comes up toward one of the tank's rear. "Hand me a detpack, Cass."
<DeathStar> 6* They switch to heat signatures to track Setsuna.
* Cassandra` passes the detpack over to Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren deals with the last of the soldiers on his end.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls off the defeated Gear.
* Theron` takes it and slaps it onto the back of the tank, moving away from it quickly. "Detonate it." He tells Cass.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *has the gear lower the cra to the ground gently, cuts off power to the cockpit, passing all control to her datapad, then takes over targeting*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs in relief.
* Cassandra` detonates the pack remotely.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna hides behind a big rock, which doesn't give off heat.
<Theron`> *Marcus begins to advance on the man, had he not retreated.
<DeathStar> 6* One of the tanks flips onto it's front end, defeated.
<SPoC> 6Dias sits there, dejected.
<DeathStar> 6* The man appears to be in adhesive glue.
<Theron`> *Marcus growls at him, making sure there are no more enemies while he stands guard.
<DeathStar> 6* A tank rolls toward Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* It takes aim.
* Theron` begins to make his way towards the second tank, hoping not to be detected.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *has the gear scan for target tanks/gears*
<Theron`> *Marcus shifts for the tank and double down, sprinting to the right as wolf speed.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria finds one target remaining: a tank
<DeathStar> 6* A machine gun fires from the right at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye the last tank.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *launches missiles at the tank*
* Theron` aims to pauses at the sound of the missle and doubles back.
<Theron`> NRP: aims to shouldn't be there.
<DeathStar> 6* The tank turns to face the missiles, and sits there sadly as it blows up.
<Theron`> *Marcus jumps back, running away from the fire now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks. "Now I feel better."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *whistles as she ejects the gear's pilot*
<DeathStar> 6* The gear pilot's screams as he's ejected.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone alive?!
<Theron`> *Marcus sighs that he didn't get to help much, and moves to catch the pilot if his fall risks death.
<SPoC> Affirmative.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Don't worry, your parachute isn't computerized!
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna coughs, "I don't think they like me, boss!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alive and well.
<Theron`> Yes we seem to be. *he dusts himself off, glancing back at Cass and Drake*
<DeathStar> 6* The man is suddenly no longer in the adhesive glue.
<Cassandra`> I haven't lost any more bits.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is still unconscious
<Cassandra`> ...but we're missing the glue guy...
<DeathStar> 6* A medium sized airship comes flying in over head, blocking the sun.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up.
<DeathStar> <Man> And now, the real battle can begin. 6* He calls, leaning on a rock on the other side.
<Theron`> *Marcus sniffs, trying to find the man's scent, when he pauses and glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up.
* Theron` opts to just fire at the man.
<DeathStar> 6* The man dives behind a rock
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets out of the car, looking up at the airship.
* Theron` narrows his eyes, glancing up.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps out, his arms crossed.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> <Scar> And there your group sits.
<DeathStar> <Scar> I but need to hit one button to vaporize them.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar stands from his seat, moving to the controls of the ship, deciding to do it himself apparantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar aims with the control stick, locking onto them.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar takes a deep breath. "I love these moments." 6* He begins to reach for the fire button.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar hits the button.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship fires a beam of destruction down on the team.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares as the ship opens fire, a deadly beam ripping through the ground.
<Theron`> Oh dear. *he frowns, seeing if he has time to run away*
<DeathStar> 6* Nope. No one does. They're DOOMED!
<Ariel> 6* A portal opens in the middle of the team
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and dives for it without questions
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and throws herself into it.

<Ariel> 6* Setsuna figures there's better than here and throws herself in.
* SPoC turns and leaps in.
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs Kat and dashes in for it.
<Theron`> NRP: LOL! Kat is double grabbed.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Scar laughs as the area goes white, leaving a crater.
<Jennifer`> "N-No..."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar turns to face Jennifer. "I guess I no longer need you now."
* Jennifer` shakes her head, "No... no..."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar pulls out a gun, aiming it. "It was a pleasure, Miss. Carmichael."
* Jennifer` growls at him, glaring.
<DeathStar> 6* He's suddenly hit by something that sends him right over a console
<DeathStar> 6* A bloodied Chii stands there, looking mad. She puffs her cheek ala Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar pulls himself back up over the console. "What the fuck is this?"
<DeathStar> 6* The bridge crew turns to stare.
* Jennifer` grabs for a gun.
<DeathStar> 6* An officer punches her in the face when she does.
* Jennifer` growls and punches back with her new hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii forms a black flame, and throws it at Scar.
<DeathStar> 6* The console is hit, and begins to burn.
<DeathStar> 6* The officer stumbles back
* Jennifer` kicks at him, grabbing again for his gun now.
<DeathStar> 6* The officer grabs her foot, backhanding her with his freehadn.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar shouts insults and curses as his bridge burns.
* Jennifer` falls, kicking out at the back of his leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The officer lands on his back.
* Jennifer` rolls over and elbows down on the man's neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar turns, firing at Chii, who dashes quickly to the side. "Hold STILL."
<DeathStar> 6* The man's neck makes an awkward sound and he quits moving.
* Jennifer` grabs at his gun and fires at Scar.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar ducks the shot. "DAMMIT!"
<DeathStar> 6* Scar calls for reinforcements.
* Jennifer` keps firing at him as he does.
<DeathStar> * Scar ducks down. "You going to go 2 for 2 on the stupid meter?"
<DeathStar> 6* Chii grabs a chair and brings it down near Scar.
<Jennifer`> "You'll pay."
<DeathStar> 6* Chii grabs Jennifer and runs for an exit.
<DeathStar> <Chii> Come on, before you get me shot again.
* Jennifer` is grabbed, turning and running. "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Scar> ... 6* He stands there, eyeing a piece of a monitor fall down. "Fuck!"
<DeathStar> 6* Chii and Jennifer can hear the sounds of guards chasing
<DeathStar> 6* They pass an emergency exit door. Up ahead, they can hear more guards.
* Jennifer` keeps moving, she stops at the exit door. "Well?"
<DeathStar> <Chii> ... We're in the air.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar turns, eyeing something on a remaining monitor. "You have got to be kidding me. Fuck fuck fuck fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* The two female 'heroes' are about to be pinched attacked.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii scowls and opens the emergency exit.
<Jennifer`> "Well how did you get up here?"
<DeathStar> <Chii> I stowed away after you left me for dead. Now go. 6* She shoves Jennifer out. Despite being high up.
<Jennifer`> "H-Hey!"
* Jennifer` falls?
<DeathStar> 6* Chii leaps out.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around to see how he lived, coming face to face with Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves. "Hi guys."
<Theron`> I believe I enjoyed Plan B.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks up to see Billy and he dashes over and picks her up hugging her. 1"You saved us!"
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel leaps on MArcus' head.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...are you all okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith humps. "Oujosama saved you."
<Cassandra`> I lost my legs...
<Theron`> *Marcus reverts, breathing a bit heavy. "Hey buddy." He tells the squirrel, glancing at Kat. "You alright?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm fine, thanks. What the heck is going on?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Then I'll have to fix that...once we get some parts.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is picked up. "Yeah, you owe me now."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We are fine, thanks to you.
* SPoC sits down and undoes her tact suit top, reevaluting her wound.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns, eyeing the battleship turning in their direction, and two shapes falling out of it.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel just smiles her creepy little girl smile
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints. "I think we've been found."
* Cassandra` zooms in with her optics...
<Cassandra`> Chii...and Jennifer...
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra can see Chii riding Jennifer down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What?!
<Theron`> *Marcus just shrugs slightly. "We found Drake it would seem." He motions to Theron's back, where Drake is pinned between Cass adn Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* The battleship suddenly begins to transform into something never before seen - an Earth/Dark One Hybrid. It launches a giant black energy beam down toward the group.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares, his eyes widening.
* Theron` glances up. "Oh this is getting annoying."
<SPoC> 6Dias looks up. 1"Now that is new.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam transforms into a giant creature, landing near the group.
<Theron`> *Marcus widens his eyes. "...what the hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* It would seem this is one of the Giant Dark Ones, last seen in the Dark World Arc.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens another portal quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias and Marcus would begin to feel a pressure in their heads, and KAtrina winces, her psionics being used against her.
<DeathStar> 6* The portal fails.
* SPoC darts her attention up, quickly ignoring her wound for now. She reseals her tact suit.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel prays for her life
<SPoC> 6Dias grimaces, a pained look on his face.
<Theron`> *Marcus urks and grabs his head, collapsing to one knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps watching the falling Jennifer.
<Theron`> *Theron frowns. "How are we supposed to help them and fight this?"
<SPoC> 6Dias takes a ragged breath as he grabs his head in frustration.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One aims a hand at them all, unleashing a giant tentacle toward the group. At that exact moment, Marcus' missing arm suddenly begins to grow a dark, black one, complete with claws. And Dias begins to enter a semi-DH state.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> LOOK OUT
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith moves Raquel back some, as if that would help, lifting her weapon.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *leaps aside, forming her light blade..
<DeathStar> 6* Chii rides Jennifer down. "We need a new plan."
* Theron` opts to move out of the way for now.
* SPoC snaps his left hand up, firing a Dark Beam into the incoming tentacle.
* SPoC is now known as Dias
<Jennifer`> "Y-Yeah..."
* Theron` is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle zooms closer. This is a fatal one, it's so big.
<DeathStar> 6* The dark beam isn't stopping it.
<Jennifer`> "Got any ideas?"
<DeathStar> <Chii> I'm using you for impact.
* Marcus` straitens up, clenching that dark hand of his. He eyes the tentacle coming in and jerks the dark hand forward towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tenses, not going to be able to dodge this.
* Jennifer` gently starts turnign them around.
* Dias pulls his right hand back, forming a Dark Matter ball. He eyes it then hurls it forward and into the incoming tentacle.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna downs the rest of her booze
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle impacts into the hand, and the dark battle impacts a second later, engulfing the tentacle and Marcus.
