<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.3.2 - Late Day -
<DeathStar> Location: Ship
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling nearly 20 hours to get back home, the ship continues through hyperspace to it's journey
* Sally`Wolf sits in a chair near Xil's cell, keeping the Tsiv company during the trip.
<DeathStar> 6* General Paladin sits before Xril, who is in the brig currently, after being patched up
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So what is your purpose for killing your people?
* Marcus` lays sprawled out in a random hallway. Just laying there.
<Marcus`> * Theron eats quietly in mess.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the mess hall, reading a book she brought along, resting her aching body
<Cassandra`> NRP: Back
* Cassandra` walks into the mess hall.
* SPoC sits quietly in the mess hall, drawing something while she eats
* Xrileshr sits with his arms crossed " Its hard to explain.. I had an epiphony one day. Long story short, our races are bent on destroying eachother- and with no chance of intrapersonal interaction, there is no hope for peace. For the greater picture, I was willing to sacrifice what small honor I had left.."
<Cassandra`> I figured this was where everyone would be.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So you call it in the best interest of people to kill your own people and join the enemy?
<DeathStar> *of your
<Marcus`> * Theron glances up. "People do have to eat, Cassandra." He notes, resumming his consumption.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up, waving her hand once at Cass.
* SPoC respons by drawing some more.
<Xrileshr> What are a few small drops of water in an expansive ocean?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Everything. 6* He notes in disgust, standing up.
<SPoC> 6Dias walks along a hallway, still beaming with pride.
<Xrileshr> Then you would have the entire ocean dry up?
* Marcus` would be laying in Dias' path.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No. Your actions would have the ocean dry up. One drop at a time.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin walks out
<Xrileshr> And yours would all at once...
<SPoC> 6Dias plops his foot down on Marcus stomach, stepping on him
<Cassandra`> That and there's nothing to do on this ship when in hyperspace. *picks up a foil wrapped bar and then takes a seat*
* Marcus` groans.
* Sally`Wolf sighs a little, not having been her place to interrupt the interview, she looks over at Xil. "You might wanna focus a little less on peace and present the real matter that brought you here Xil. Dark Ones, he understands that."
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses mid-step off and looks down at Marcus. His foot still pressed into his gut. 1"Eh?"
* Marcus` motions to to his gut, probably not able to breath with a foot shoved into it.
* Xrileshr watches him go, his eyes then turning to Sal " Why are you helping me? Why are you not treating me like the others? "
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns her page. "You can always read."
<Sally`Wolf> "Because I don't judge people by the skin they were born in."
<Cassandra`> 6<14Cassandra6> "I don't like to sit still for too long." *opens the foil packet*
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps onto the bridge, taking a seat. Since they'll be arriving at Earth soon.
* Sally`Wolf looks down a little. "Humans can be just as vile as any Tsiv."
<SPoC> <Dias> Huh? Speak up.
* Marcus` shoves Dias off of him and takes a deep breath. "...ow."
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts only slightly, finishing up his meal.
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles slightly. 1"Oh, my foot was in your gut. Wait, why were you on the floor anyways?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the mess hall, wearing a baggy flight jacket that's a size too big for her, and looking like hell. Despite being MIA for 20 hours. She takes a seat, propping her head in her hands
* Xrileshr doesnt speak at the last bit, silently understanding the human's contempt for his race
<Marcus`> I dunno. Seemed like the right place to be.
* SPoC rips a piece of paper out and slides it over to Theron. It's a drawing of him eating.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, coming from the guy who mocked me for sleeping on benches.
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and glances down, he tilts his head then glances up. "Thank you."
* Sally`Wolf looks at him. "That's to say, anyone can be vile, despite their race."
<Marcus`> Yeah well, I was just wasting time, you slept there cause you had no choice. * he lifts himself up*
<SPoC> <Dias> No. I slept there because it was different.
<Xrileshr> So you understand then? Why I did what I did?
<DeathStar> 6* The computer does an announcement of them exiting hyperspace in 5 more minutes.
<Sally`Wolf> "Yes, you saw the stupidity of war and descided to do something about it."
* Sally`Wolf sits back, sighing. "I don't consider Earth my home, just the place I come from. I fight the Tsiv Empire as my enemy because I swore an oath to serve. I'll keep that oath even if it kills me, but that doesn't mean I have to hate my enemy... that is, unless they shoot at me, then I hate them on principle.""
<Xrileshr> Will my efforts be in vain? Once I'm brought to your society, I expect I'll be made an example of..
* SPoC glances up. 1"Your welcome."
<Marcus`> Still was something pretty dumb. *he notes, then rubs the back of his head, glancing up at the announcement* Uh oh. Almost home.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head and stands, he disposes of his trash, and then lifts up the pictures. He bows his head slightly and shifts to exit the mess hall.
<Sally`Wolf> "Maybe, but maybe they'll see the more clever angle... a Tsiv working with humans might lead to more Tsiv usurping, it'll weaken the enmey through morale."
<Sally`Wolf> "There ain't humans working for the Tsiv, so it works."
<SPoC> <Dias> Looks like we're about to drop out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina bookmarks her book, and puts it down
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores the announcement
<Sally`Wolf> "Should warn you though..."
<Marcus`> That's what she said? *he pauses* No Nevermind. That sounded just gross. *he waves a hand and shifts to walk towards the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands and decides to move to the bridge, despite it lacking a wall
* Sally`Wolf looks over at him.
<Xrileshr> My people are too proud to work for humans. A pitty. Their arogance will be their undoing
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah. It kinda was man. 6He walks alongside him
<Sally`Wolf> "If you join this team, you're going to find defectors are just somethign we take in. Scar... a shapeshifter, works for us."
* SPoC stands up and gets rid of her trash. She moves back over and grabs her drawing pad and heads to the bridge
<Cassandra`> See you, Katrina. *bites into her protein bar*
<Xrileshr> The Tsiv and the Dark ones will undoubtedly win this war *He says matter of factly* once they do, the Tsiv will have no ally to turn to when the Dark ones turn on us..
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back in his seat, glancing at the chronometer.
* Sally`Wolf smiles, "Like I said, we've got people who're turning against the Dark Ones too."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps onto the bridge, using the elevator to cut down movement time.
<Sally`Wolf> "There's hope yet."
* Marcus` yawns. "It's a shame they won't be throwing us a welcome home celebration or something like that." He notes with a frown.
<SPoC> <Dias> They should. We DID defeat a planet eating ridarium.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship drops out of hyperspace around Earth's orbit, where a Ridiarium ship is busy pummeling the station with rocks
<Marcus`> Yeah well, I guess we should probably drop it soon. People get annoyed when you tell them how awesome you are all the time. *he says, stepping onto the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin jerks forward, eyeing the scene before him.
<SPoC> <Dias> I can't drop this one. Not until I top it.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Raise shields! 6* The man at the controls nods, and raises the shields, sending a red alert out
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up at the alarm going off.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open. "What the fuck?"
<SPoC> 6Dias makes a wierd face. 1"Red Alert...Near Earth?
* SPoC glances up and starts jogging to the bridge.
* Sally`Wolf looks up. "Oi... never time off is there? I'm gonna go check on the problem."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How did they...get here?
<Cassandra`> So much for lunch! *jumps to her feet and runs out of the mess hall to suit up*
* Sally`Wolf stands up, "Sorry to leave you all on your lonesome Xil."
* Marcus` reaches over and turns Dias' head towards the scene outside the bridge.
* Sally`Wolf smiles and rushes off for the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* The space station begins to break apart from the attack. The ship begins turning to face them
<SPoC> 6Dias turns and raises an eyebrow. 1"Holy crap."
<Ariel> 6* Em hurries to the bridge to see just what's going on
* SPoC steps onto the bridge.
<Marcus`> Shit. Uh, Paladin, orders?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Fire. 6* He orders. Their ship begins to shoot back, though with the damage they occurred, it's doubtful this is a winnable battle.
* Xrileshr watches her go, his fingers interlocking as he waits
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps to her feet, and rushes to the bridge
<SPoC> <Dias> You want us to gear up?
* Sally`Wolf rushes onto the bridge to stare at the scene before her. "What in the blazes..."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Dias and Marcus. "Your Gears are still being repaired from the last fight."
* Marcus` frowns. "Piss."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium ship begins to fire rocks. The ship shakes from impacts.
<SPoC> <Dias> Than I'll fly a damaged gear.
<Marcus`> * Theron steps onto the bridge, his eyes widen slightly, then they narrow as he steps forward slightly.
<Marcus`> No we were probably just boarded, if my guess is right.
<SPoC> Than we should deal with the intruders.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns to look at sensors. "Scan the ship."
* Sally`Wolf pulls up her rifle, getting it ready as she awaits orders.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin rubs his face, and the man at the sensors looks over. "We have rocks on the ship, but they don't appear to be Ridiariums, sir."
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well, they just made a fool of me, it would seem."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps onto the bridge finally, out of breath, and holding her side. She eyes the scene taking place
* SPoC tilts her head. 1"Is it possible they used them on the station?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin frowns. Suddenly an explosion goes off from inside the ship
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What was that?!
* Marcus` jerks slightly. "Uh.."
<SPoC> <Dias> That didn't sound good.
<Sally`Wolf> "The rocks explode?"
<DeathStar> <Sensor Officer> Uh, the place the rock landed, it just....it's gone, sir.
<Sally`Wolf> "Fuck me."
<Marcus`> * Theron frowns. "That would appear to be the case" *He says with a nod after the Sensor officer tells them the news.
<Ariel> Em> "..oh hell, tell me the giant wasn't a decoy. That'd be too much deus ex even for us."
<DeathStar> 6* Their ship rocks as more rocks hit them. One rock smashes into the brig area near Xril's cell, but not freeing him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... tch. We need to take that ship out. Now.
* Marcus` frowns. "Isn't there a gear that's not completely out of it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and moves out for the hanger.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll fly a half running gear if I hate to.
<DeathStar> <PAladin> Do it.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods and turns, running for the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* The rock in the brig begins to glow as it charges up for an explosion
* Marcus` nods and shifts to jog out after Dias.
<DeathStar> <Sensor Officer> We have a rock near the engines, sir, in the brig, and near the mess hall.
* Cassandra` steps on to the bridge in full combat armor.
<Sally`Wolf> "Brig?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Shit!"
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "Do we know how long until they explode?"
<SPoC> Does this ship not possess teleporters?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> About a minute, at my guess
* Xrileshr looks up from his hunched over position, his fingers interlocked
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Offline.
<DeathStar> 6* The one in the engine room explodes
* Sally`Wolf runs out, rushing towards the brig.
<Xrileshr> Oh shit... *Looks for cover
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, there's no cover in his cell
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and those moving for the hangers arrive.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "I will try to dispose of the one in the en-" He frowns. "That explosion, which was it?"
<SPoC> 6Dias runs for his gear and climbs up the rungs. He swings himself into his cockpit and starts flipping switches to power it up
<DeathStar> <Sensor Officer> engine room. 6* Their ship begins to lose power in areas.
* Sally`Wolf rushes to the brig as fast as she can.
<Cassandra`> Were we boarded?
* Marcus` glances around and quickly moves over to his gear, pulling himself up into his gear. Getting it powered up.
* Xrileshr raises a brow " figures. " he braces himself for an explosion
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a rail gun and throws herself into a shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Sally arrives in the brig, right as the rock is about to go
* Sally`Wolf quickly opens his cell. "XIL! MOVE!"
<Marcus`> * Theron frowns. "I see." He hangs his head slightly.
* SPoC unhooks the gear and closes the cockpit of his gear. He takes several steps forward and turns to the hanger exit and boosts out.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin issues orders.
* SPoC is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Get us closer to the planet. Fire all we have at the ship.
* Marcus` pulls his gear forward. And blasts out after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl powers up the shuttle and flies out
* Xrileshr grabs Sally by the arm as he dashes out " Same for you! GO! " he attempts to dash out of explosion range before it goes off
<DeathStar> 6* The rock explodes, the shockwave hitting the two in the brig and sending walls falling around them
* Sally`Wolf gets pulled along, and then slammed into a wall as it falls. "Goddamnit motherfucking BS!"
* Dias breaks towards the enemy Ridarium Ship
* Marcus` tries to get a feel for what controls he has, blasting out after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* A rock smashes into a wall near the bridge. Sitting there
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns to eye it
<Dias> <SPoC> We must evacuate.
<Cassandra`> ...you have got to be kidding me.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at it. "..."
* Xrileshr curses, pulling himself to his feet " More ridariums? What are we up against out there? "
<DeathStar> <Paladin> If we lose the bridge, on top of everything else, we'll be sitting ducks
<Dias> <SPoC> Than we must disable it.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium ship fires rocks at the three heading for it
* Marcus` attempts to avoid.
* Dias barrels rolls to try and avoid.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flies around them
<Marcus`> * Theron slides over to it, pulling out his sword, he attempts to pry it free.
* Sally`Wolf works on getting free of the walls. "Well... this is good."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses her psionics to try to help Theron
<Ariel> 6* Em uses her telekinesis to try to loosen it up some
<Dias> 6SPoC moves over to try and help by pushing
<DeathStar> 6* The rock begins to move
* Cassandra` moves over and tries to help with the moving of the boulder.
<DeathStar> 6* The rock begins to glow.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head, and grits his teeth, shoving with all of his might to throw it forward out of the bridge.
<Dias> 6SPoC shoves in-tune with Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* The three begin to get in range of the Ridiarium ship
* Xrileshr attempts to lift the wall from Sally enough for her to crawl out
<DeathStar> 6* The rock slides out of the bridge. <Paladin> Back up and I'll shift the shields around the bridge.
* Marcus` checks his weapons. <Comm> "So Cheryl. Where are the weak points on these things?"
<Dias> 6SPoC quickly backs up.
* Marcus` backs up as well.
* Sally`Wolf crawls out and pulls herself up against him. "Damn... let's get to the bridge."
<Dias> <Comm> Yeah, I mean what do we attack on this flying...rock thing.
<Marcus`> * Theron does.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to the controls. Katrina falls to her knees, panting. He raises the bridge shields, right as it explodes. The shields begin to waver, and look as if they're failing
* Cassandra` backs up...
<Dias> 6SPoC grabs onto a railing.
<Cassandra`> ...I think we've got a problem here...
<Marcus`> * Theron does at well, incase the shield fails.
<Ariel> 6* Em grabs on to something tight so she doesn't fall on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl speaks. "Just follow me."
* Xrileshr nods, dropping the steel(?) with a resounding crash " Where? "
<DeathStar> 6* The shields fall to 4% power, but hold as the explosion ends. There's more space there now.
<Dias> <Comm> My pleasure.
<Marcus`> <Comm> Aye aye. *He shifts around to get behind Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I believe...this ship is useless.
* Sally`Wolf orients herself and climbs towards the exit. "This way... I think."
* Dias shifts around to fly beside Marcus
<Cassandra`> Engineering is gone, bridge is fialing.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Indeed. We are nothing more than a pin cushion I would believe.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flies along, heading for the front of the Ridiarium ship
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Another hit, and we'll be able to save the bridge.
<DeathStar> *unable
<Cassandra`> Orders then?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Let us hope those three can pull off another miracle.
* Sally`Wolf climbs into the halls and starts to make her way back to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back. "Be ready to move if a rock heads for us."
<DeathStar> 6* A scan of the ship appears on their Gear's monitors, from Cheryl's shuttle. It picks out a point in the front of ship
* Xrileshr nods, following after her " More Ridiariums? I hate these accursed stones. "
<Dias> <Comm> So we punch it in the nose? I thought that only worked on sharks.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle's ramp lowers, and Cheryl is sucked out with her rail gun. She whips onto the shuttle to hang on.
<Marcus`> <Comm> Well, this is a space shark. *he shifts to get all of his weapons prepped, missile, cannons, rifle*
<Sally`Wolf> "Yeah, this one's different though."
* Dias brings his head guns online.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls herself onto the top of the shuttle, and begins to aim, charging the rail gun
* Marcus` swings around, to get a bead on the target he was given, with Cheryl not being in the way of course.
<Xrileshr> How different? Are we looking at an astroid?
<Dias> <Comm> Keep her safe Marcus. 6He moves up to be slightly infront and to the side of the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires the rail gun and begins to tumble back in space.
<Ariel> 6* Em moves to where she can get a better view of things. If any rocks were going... would be good to know.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the ship begin to focus on the three fighting it, firing a hail storm of rocks
<Cassandra`> Looks like they bought us some time.
* Dias opens fire on any rocks coming towards Cheryl's shuttle of death
<DeathStar> 6* The rail gun impacts into the stone, barely damaging it
* Sally`Wolf arrives on the Bridge, with Xil. "Well... looks like you all had fun too."
* Marcus` lauches his missiles and his cannon and his rifle. Staring at the rock coming at him, he hisses and jerks to pull back to catch Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. A little.
<Sally`Wolf> "Brig is totalled, Xil nearly bought the farm."
<DeathStar> 6* Dias saves her shuttle, since Cheryl wasn't doing it
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Xril. "Handcuff him if he's going to be here."
<Dias> <Comm> What if we ram the shuttle into that spot?
<Sally`Wolf> "Fine..."
* Sally`Wolf sighs and takes out her cuffs, looking at Xil with another apologetic look as she cuffs him up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's shuttle does seem to be aimed at the spot.
<Marcus`> <Comm> I thought that's what we were doing? I was just trying to weaken the spot. *he attempts to get closer to catch Cheryl*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses her whip to hang onto the shuttle, then pulls up and aims again
<Dias> <Comm> ...God now I feel slow.
<DeathStar> 6* The weapons on the ship begin to aim at Earth
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No. 6* He leans forward, eyeing it
* Dias swings under nearth the shuttle so the gut of his gear is facing it. He continues firing ahead at any rocks coming towards them
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires again, hitting the same spot.
* Marcus` pauses when he sees Cheryl catch herself, and breaks off slightly, but readies his rifle to fire at anything attacking the shuttle. "Punch it forward and drop back Cheryl. I'll catch you." He says over the comm, though he isn't sure she can hear.
<DeathStar> 6* She then hits the rail gun to overload, magnetically locking it onto the shuttle. She runs off the shuttle and leaps off
<Marcus`> <Comm> Alright Dias. Break off. *he slams his boosters to stop him, hand reaching out to catch her now, after he did, he would boost back away from it*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiariun ship fires rocks onto Earth
* Xrileshr stands in the brig, chuckling as the cuffs are placed on him " Not to frustrate your efforts towards security captain, but in the hands of a tsiv, these cuffs are just another weapon. "
* Dias breaks off to and fires onto the rocks heading towards earth, chasing towards them
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Then you can demonstrate and fail.
<Xrileshr> NRP: Ack, not the brig. argh, bridge. Whats the ooc room?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches the rocks heading for the planet, frowning
<DeathStar> 6* There's about a dozen rocks heading for the planet in various locations
<Dias> <Comm> We need to take the ones heading to Earth out.
<Sally`Wolf> "Anything we can do from here sir?"
* Dias hits his boosters, trying to close the gap to some.
* Sally`Wolf watches the rock, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm afraid not.
* Marcus` shifts once, he catches Cheryl and blasts forward low after Dias, raising his rifle, firing at the closest one. "We've got to get as many as we can."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle hits the Ridiarium ship, causing an explosion
* Dias fires on closes ones with it's head turrets.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocks are shot, and explode
<DeathStar> 6* However, 10 more fall
* Dias twists as he boosts towards them, and fires on another one.
* Marcus` grips tight onto his control, he attempts to get a target onto two of the rocks, firing his last two missiles towards them, shifting to fire at a third with his rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias shoots another one, his weapon power hits 0.
<Dias> <Dias> ....Oh that is soooo not cool. 6He tries to reach one of the rocks
<DeathStar> 6* 6 fall now.
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to enter the atmosphere
* Xrileshr eyes Sal " Are we simply going to watch this battle? Is there nothing we can do? "
* Marcus` checks his weapons level, attempting to get another with his cannon if he has a power, and a second with his rifle, again if he has the power.
<Dias> <Comm> Try not to burn Cheryl up
<Sally`Wolf> "Not unless you got a gear tucked around there somewhere."
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Marcus doesn't have THE POWER
* Marcus` hisses. "FUCK." He breaks off, turning back towards the ship, moving for it. "Damnit. That's 6 I counted."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns.
* Dias keeps pushing ahead
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *still repairing Madara II as fast as she can!
<Marcus`> <Comm> You're going to kill yourself Dias. Let's hope that the military can handle 6 Rid.
* Dias comes up onto one and shifts, punching it and shoving it towards another one
<DeathStar> 6* When Dias punches it, it explodes in his Gear's face, engulfing him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps Marcus' Gear, pointing.
<DeathStar> 6* 5 more rocks fall, and one Dias Gear. Well, the top half
* Marcus` jerks, glancing back. "Oh fuck." He tilts. "Sorry Cheryl." He attempts to throw her towards the Ship, shifting to blast back off after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is thrown away.
<Marcus`> * Theron peers. A frown on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches silently.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' gear begins to heat up rapidly, with no shields
<Sally`Wolf> "My god..."
* Marcus` makes sure his shield are raised when he hits atmo, pushing it to the limit to try and get Dias.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias...
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus begins to reach Dias.
<Cassandra`> ...what's his odds?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Not good.
* Marcus` growls, the G-forces on him really beating into him. He attempts to snag Dias when he gets in range, trying to blast his thrusters forward to slow their decent.
<DeathStar> 6* The two begin to slow, and Dias' gear stops flaming
<Dias> 6SPoC watches, silent
<Marcus`> <Comm> Dias! You dead?!
* Marcus` slows still, checking their height. He shifts Dias' gear to try and peer inside to see if Dias is alive.
* Dias can be seen inside, slowly moving.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl zooms away, arms crossed. Marcus is a dead man. A dead man
<Marcus`> * Theron clears his throat. "Should I get a shuttle and retrieve Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It would be risky to try to use a shuttle to get her
* Marcus` lets out a breath, Dias may survive this yet.
<Marcus`> <Theron> So what do we do?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Hope Marcus retrieves her.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *still trying to finish Madara's repairs!
* Marcus` moves his gear up now, blasting back toward the ship, or well Cheryl first.
<Dias> <SPoC> I do not believe Cheryl will be pleased with being thrown.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks out the viewport, seeing only a slight amount of rubble from the Ridiarium ship
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is not something I enjoy either.
<Dias> <SPoC> You have been thrown by a gear?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... 6* He sees no sign of a Ridiarum ship, so he shakes off the bad feeling.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat, sighing in relief.
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts slightly. "It is has been quite some time."
* Marcus` looks for Cheryl as he gets closer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Marcus with a look of death.
<Dias> <SPoC> I see. I find that amusing.
* Sally`Wolf stands aside Xil, closing her eyes.
<Marcus`> <Theron> The landing was not so.
* Marcus` sighs and grabs her, then shifts to land back into the hanger.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Spaceport
<DeathStar> 6* The team, having used a shuttle to go to the spaceport in Tokyo, is met by a group of men in black
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her whip around Marcus' throat, silent
<Dias> 6SPoC eyes the men in black.
<Cassandra`> I hate these special agent guys...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps off, glancing at them.
* Sally`Wolf has taken the task of escorting Xil, she goes a bit rigid when she sees them.
<Dias> Think they got a group discount?
<DeathStar> <Special Agent Man> That's very insulting
* Marcus` stands there with his shoulders slumped. "I said I was sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* A limo pulls up behind the men.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *tightens the whip whenever he talks*
<Ariel> Em> "Do you get a discount on bulk outfits?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps off to look at them all.
* Marcus` winces and sighs.
<Cassandra`> Are we being screwed over?
<DeathStar> 6* The men hrmph.
<Marcus`> * Theron steps off, his eyes evaluating each.
<Dias> I call shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran, Vice President, or acting President, steps out of the limo.
<Cassandra`> Cause if we are, I hate you. If we aren't, I apologize.
* Sally`Wolf eyes them carefully, a hand over Xil's cuffs.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *skips along after Theron*
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Secure the Tsivrixsh for now. 6* He tells the agents. The agents nod, moving to take Xril into their custody.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We have a situation.
<Dias> We just got back from solving two situations.
<Ariel> Em> "...there's always a situation."
<Ariel> Em> "Why isn't it ever anyone else's situation?"
<Marcus`> Ye-*he pauses, since he can't talk*
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You haven't finished the last one yet. While you did miminize the damage from those falling rocks, but that was a decoy.
<Dias> .....What?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Interesting.
* Xrileshr doesnt fight, unintemidated by the smaller creatures
* Sally`Wolf eyes the men, hestitating a moment before moving aside. "Xil... just cooperate with them, alright?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> The Ridiariums have attacked Arakawa's house, we believe, a few minutes ago.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks.
<Dias> Why would they att...6He looks over at Marcus.
<Cassandra`> What?!
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "WHAT?! Is Billy ok?!"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We don't have details yet. We're sending people there now.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander motions at the limo. "Come on."
<Dias> Has to be Billy. 6He runs over to the limo and grabs the front passenger door and tries to open it
<Xrileshr> Where are you taking me? *he asks them
* Cassandra` climbs in without another word.
<DeathStar> <Agent> To the Executive Building. 6* They lead him to a van
<Marcus`> * Theron gets in as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets in as well, and Katrina shfts in. Cheryl frees Marcus and gets in
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *climbs in and for some reason, sits on Theron's lap!
* Sally`Wolf looks towards Xil, then the others, she sighs and gets in.
* Marcus` rubs his neck and he gets in.
<Dias> 6SPoC climbs in
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts, pausing and staring at Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander gets in the front.
<Dias> 6Dias scowls at Alexander and climbs into the back
<Xrileshr> Sounds official.. *he says, eyeing the primitive vehicle. he climbs in
<DeathStar> 6* The driver, once everyone is in, would begin to drive rapidly
* Marcus` leans forward, his right leg bouncing while he rubs his hands together slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander rubs his rest. "This day continues to decline..."
<DeathStar> *Wrist
<Sally`Wolf> "Something else happened today?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. V.I. attacked.
<Dias> Who?
<Sally`Wolf> "Attacked what?"
* Dias titls her head
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Unimportant for now.
* Cassandra` checks her guns, lips twitching visibly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Cassandra's shoulder. "I am sure everything will be fine."
* Marcus` pauses. "Wait. Is Aya alright?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes.
<Sally`Wolf> "You aren't going to hurt Xil are yah?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander doesn't answer that
* Marcus` lets out a breath, nodding. "Good."
* Dias looks over at Marcus. 1"Why is Aya the first thing that pops out of oyur mouth?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back.
<Marcus`> Dude. Remember, Angie told me they are the ones that kidnapped her before.
* Sally`Wolf eyes Alexander, not enjoying the silence.
<Dias> No. No I don't remember.
<DeathStar> 6* The limo arrives outside Arakawa's house, which looks half-smashed in. People are moving around, and they seem to be pulling someone injured from the debris
* Marcus` waves his hand. "Maybe cause you weren't there." He opens the Limo quickly and steps towards the house.
* Cassandra` climbs out of the limo and runs toward the activity.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps out, adjusting his tie.
* Dias steps out. SPoC moves out.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin exits, surveying the scene.
<Marcus`> * Theron steps out and glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves out quietly, staying back, to watch. Cheryl leans on the limo, wincing
<DeathStar> 6* The men seem to be pulling Setsuna out
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *falls out of the limo as Theron steps out.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna! *runs over*
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves to talk to one man, probably getting updated
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses. "I apologize." He tells Myria.
* Marcus` glances around. "What about Billy?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Owwwies.
* Sally`Wolf gets out quietly and surveys the scene.
<Dias> Yeah, what about Billy?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander turns to face them. "There appears to be no demon child here."
<Dias> Well they can't get off planet, right?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We're recalling ships, but I doubt we could stop them.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin surveys the damage.
* Marcus` frowns. "Did their ship survive?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We don't know.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...hey... Cass..." *coughs* "...remember that bunker I wanted to get us...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Sets and Cass. "I feel bad for them."
* Sally`Wolf scratches her head. "I don't get it... what'd they want to do this for?"
<Dias> <SPoC> They have lost their adopted child.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> No idea.
* Marcus` grits his face in anger. "Billy doesn't even have her powers anymore."
<Cassandra`> ...I said when we renovate...looks like we're renovating... Setsuna...where is Billy...? Will you make it? Someone get an ambulance!
<Sally`Wolf> "Powers? You mean this kid was special?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin considers. "I see. But she is a Dark One, right?"
<Dias> She's till the dark spawn of the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> <Soldier> Already on the way, ma'am.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe they wanted her back.
* Marcus` pauses. "More or less. But she's a powerless one, what's the point?"
<Dias> The why's not really that important. Just the where. As in where'd they take her?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Eh... I've had worse. I... lost track of Billy when the house fell on me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her arms.
<Cassandra`> Setsuna....did they take Billy?
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts to pat Myria's head. Since she said owwies.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We're using satelites to try to find them. Give us time.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander takes out his datapad.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> What happened, Theron?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Miss Billy was kidnapped.
<Marcus`> Please. Hurry.
<Dias> 6SPoC puts her hand on Kat's shoulder. 1"Is something wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. I'm just trying to figure out why they would want a child
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> That can't be good.
<Marcus`> * Theron shakes his head slightly. "I believe not, no."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, tiredly, rubbing her chest
<Dias> <SPoC> I do not know enough about her to come to a conclusion
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We'll begin our tracking. If you want to head to your base to gear up, you should do so
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks over at them.
* Marcus` nods once. "Alright. Thanks." He glances to Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once. "Yes, sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves for the limo.
<Cassandra`> ...why doesn't that ambulance get here faster?!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns and steps into the limo
<Dias> We'll get her back. I haven't rescued an evil damsel in distress yet.
* Sally`Wolf moves after Paladin.
<DeathStar> <Soldier> They are moving as fast as they can, ma'am. Just enjoy talking to her.
<Cassandra`> Ok, ok...
<Dias> 6SPoC steps into the limo.
* Marcus` gets into the Limo after Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up stiffly and gets inside.
<Marcus`> * Theron gets back into the limo.
* Dias climbs into the limo.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *hops back on to Theron's lap!*
<DeathStar> 6* The ambulance arrives
<Cassandra`> Finally!
<DeathStar> 6* The ambulance people move over to check Setsuna out
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Cassandra. "Do you want to come?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin assumes no, and moves to motion the driver to go
<Cassandra`> I'll stick with Setsuna...
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: The HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin goes over the weapons
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adjusts her tactical suit, having got another one
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Take what you want, people. The bigger calibur the gun, the better.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sticks with her energy sword, putting her hair into a ponytail and adjusting the tactical suit.
* Marcus` props a railgun onto his shoulder, instead of using the shotgun. "These things kick, right?"
* Sally`Wolf grabs a few new energy packs for her big gun, and looks over another rail gun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Probably harder than you could take
<Dias> <Dias> Dude, that thing'll knock you on your ass flat.
* Sally`Wolf chuckles.
<Marcus`> If Sally can handle it, I can
* Sally`Wolf eyes him up and down. "Maybe."
<Dias> 6SPoC grabs a grenade launcher and slips it over her shoulder. She than grabs a high caliber rifle
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus walks up beside Marcus. "She can take a lot, man."
* Marcus` makes a face. "Oh you'd better not do her looking like me."
<Dias> Dude, she....Well. 6He motions at Marcus
* Sally`Wolf bursts out laughing.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Only on request.
<Marcus`> * Theron sheaths his katana at his side, and checks his rifle, and the grenade launcher under it.
<Marcus`> ...I think i'm going to throw up.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> Sorry. We both know we prefer them younger
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *tinkers some self-made guns.
* Dias eyes the stuff. 1"I'm really bad at guns."
* Sally`Wolf walks over and kisses Scar, quite boldly too.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus makes out Sally. With tongue
<Dias> But I bet Sally fucks the Tsiv next.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes. "Yeah, I'll puke next."
* Sally`Wolf seems to consider this.
* Marcus` puts a hand over his eyes. "...Paladin can you make them stop?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Wanna give that one a test drive Scar?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up. "Stop."
* Sally`Wolf stops, stepping away from Scar a little.
<DeathStar> <Marcus> We can. It'll be as easy as the tentacle monster.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus eyes Paladin, then crosses his arms. "Well, I got the last word in. So ha."
<Cassandra`> Theron?
* Sally`Wolf giggles a bit and looks down at her weapon.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "Yes?"
<Ariel> 6* Em shows up blissfully late, "So, I miss anything?"
<Dias> Cheryl, what kind of gun you think I could use?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A big one.
<Cassandra`> Is she hard up or is she just like that?
<Dias> Which one's a big one?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A big. One.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I choose to ignore what I do not wish to hear.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin slings a cannon over his shoulder.
<Cassandra`> Ohhhh...how does that work out for you?
<Dias> 6Dias shrugs and grabs a rocket launcher, tossing it over his shoulder.
* Cassandra` is now known as Myria
<Marcus`> * Theron glances up at the ceiling, apparently demonstrating.
<DeathStar> 6* PAladin's comm beeps. He taps it.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We have a situation!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks down, making sure to turn up the volume for everyone to hear
* Myria stares at the ceiling too then.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> The Ridiarium Ship is still active. They're launching Ridiariums at your position
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, glancing up
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at Paladin, apparently he wants to hear this.
<Ariel> 6* Em looks for a plasma rifle... she liked the plasma rifles.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Wait. At us?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh bloody hell."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. I know the Basic language is hard for you.
<Marcus`> Ha ha. Prick.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the base shakes and an alarm goes off.
<Dias> So much for base defenses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hops off the table. "Great. I don't think they want us finding Billy."
<Sally`Wolf> "That's one way to knock."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I doubt we could stop a falling rock from space.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves for the hallway.
<Dias> <Dias> I tried.
<Ariel> Em> "...we just need bigger guns."
* Marcus` and Theron get ready and step out into the hallway.
<Dias> 6SPoC moves out into the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium rushes down the hallway. Suddenly the base shakes again.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar turns into his real form
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium throws a punch at Paladin, who falls back to avoid it
<Myria> They're heeeeeere.
* Marcus` pauses and takes a few steps back, lifting up his rail gun, taking aim.
<Dias> 6SPoC unslings the grenade launcher and aims it towards the Ridarium, waiting for a clear shot
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium smashes his fist into the wall, ripping a chunk out and throwing it at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into the hallway, activating her whip
* Marcus` attempts to roll to the side. Sighing at the tight quarters of the hallway.
* Sally`Wolf charges up her big gun and slides out of the armory, she jostles out in front of Palaldin and moves him out of the way. She fires the beam at the Ridarium as he moves to throw.
<Dias> 6Dias peeks his head out, his eyes going wide at the ridarium. 1"Warm welcome, huh?"
<Marcus`> * Theron loads a shell into the grenade launcher on the underside of his rifle. He takes quite a few steps back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is hit, stepping back once
* Sally`Wolf fires another blast at it.
* Myria stays behind Theron the entire time.
<DeathStar> 6* It holds out his hand, letting it impact
<Dias> 6SPoC pulls the trigger, firing a grenade at it now that it's clear.
<DeathStar> <Ridiarium> HAR HAR HAR....6* It's hit by the grenade and it knocks it back
<Marcus`> * Theron fires as well, aiming for it's head with his grenade.
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium moves down the hallway behind the group, rushing them. Scar turns. "AAAAH!"
<DeathStar> 6* The grenades go off, causing explosive damage to the Ridiarium and hallway
<Ariel> 6* Em braces the large rifle as she kneels, and fires a lance of plasma at the incoming Ridiarium.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the Ridiarium coming in and moves in with her whip
* Marcus` jerks around and aims, he sighs when Cheryl goes moving in.
<Dias> 6SPoC pulls the hammer back and ejects the shell. She loads a new one and turns, hesitating as Cheryl goes in after it.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is stopped momentarily, and Cheryl flips up onto it's shoulder wrapping her whip around it's throat, and throws herself behind it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> SHOOT IT
<Myria> EEEEE! *turns and fires her molecular disruptor at the Ridarium's head*
<DeathStar> 6* The first Ridiarium begins to rise
* Sally`Wolf takes careful aim at teh damaged Ridarium and fires at one of it's weak points.
<Dias> 6SPoC pulls the trigger, sending a grenade at it
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium whirls with Cheryl, and is hit by the grenade. The explosion knocks it back, and Cheryl kicks off as not to be crushed
<Marcus`> I might hit you!
<Ariel> 6* Em fires again, blowing on the rifle to try to get it to cool down faster
<DeathStar> 6* The first Ridiarium is hit by Wolf. It gets rockin' mad
<Dias> 6SPoC ejects the shell and begins loading another one.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is shot as it sits up, roaring at Em
* Marcus` sighs, not liking this whole gunner guy thing.
* Sally`Wolf aims for it's head and fires again, not giving it a break.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches for now
* Dias pulls the rocket launcher off his back and slides past Sally after she shoots, firing a rocket at it
<Marcus`> * Theron loads up another grenade. And waits for a clear shot toward either baddy.
<DeathStar> 6* The two Ridiariums are hit and knocked down, then sit up. This seems to be repeating indefinitely
<DeathStar> <Scar> Can't you stay dead
<Marcus`> <Theron> Do these have more armor than the ones before?
<Dias> And I thought I was too stupid to die.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Perhaps if we hit them in the eye with as much fire power as we can manage
<Ariel> Em> "Dammit, where's Myria when you need some rock-be-gone?!" *aims for the face and fires*
* Sally`Wolf growls and charges her beam. "Keep it busy."
* Dias fumbles around as he tries to load another rocket
<Dias> 6SPoC loads the shell and turns, aiming at the one near Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiariums rush in suddenly, right in close range
* Myria fires her molecular disruptor at the head of one of the Ridariums!
<DeathStar> 6* It' seems they're tired of explosions
<DeathStar> 6* The head is hit and it falls over headless
<Marcus`> Oka-SHIT!
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridiarium punches at Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flips to her feet, panting harder
<Myria> Ther eis your rock-be-gone!
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a beam flies out and hits the Ridiarium in the head. It seems to be as powerful as a rail gun, and aimed to avoid everyone
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium falls back
* Dias jerks backwards, letting the punch go over him.
* Marcus` jerks from the beam anyone, he slowly pauses and glances towards the source of the beam.
* Sally`Wolf slowly pulls down her weapon, holding the charge for now. "Who..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps out with her dragoon bustah, wearing her trench coat outfit from earlier that day
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did I sense panic from you, Cherry?
<Dias> No. I think that might have been me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Zephyr, twitching
* Dias turns to look at Zephyr
* Marcus` sighs. "I said I was sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets the gun vanish, grinning. "You? Panic?"
<Dias> Pfft. No. I knew you were there.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the newest Alpha. Scar seems to be sizing up her breast.
* Dias nods to Zephyr
<Marcus`> * Theron stands down after she arrives, he shifts slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a boom from outside
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns in the hallway.
<Sally`Wolf> "We can chat later."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
* Marcus` pauses. "Yeah the halls aren't the best place to fight. Shall we?" he motions to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Lets go outside."
<Dias> 6Dias keeps fumbling with the rocket launcher.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leads the way. Zephyr puts an arm around Cheryl, leading her away. Cheryl keeps twitching
<Ariel> Em> *reloads her gun* "...so, do we have a count of how many of these there are?"
* Sally`Wolf nods and moves out for the doors.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket suddenly goes off and aims Marcus
<DeathStar> *at
<Dias> 6SPoC moves out with the others.
* Marcus` widens his eyes and falls back onto his ass.
<Dias> 6Dias' eyes go wide and he drops the launcher.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket zooms by and hits a wall, blowing a hole
* Marcus` shields himself and slowly looks at Dias. "...put it down."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin ignores it
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No. I say this is the third and last one right now
<Marcus`> * Theron eyes them and then turns to follow the others outside.
<DeathStar> 6* As he steps out, he peers up at a towering Giant Ridiarium in black lines, standing in a crater sized hole in the parking lot
<Dias> So I think rocket launcher aren't my specialty.
* Myria follows Theron outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up, sneering.
<Marcus`> Ch'yeah. *he stands up and jogs off to catch up*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whoa. That's big.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar eyes it. He turns and walks back inside
<Dias> 6SPoC looks up. 1"This will prove difficult
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tenses.
<Marcus`> * Theron peers up at it. "Hmmm."
<Sally`Wolf> "Bigger they are... the more cliche lines we can make."
<DeathStar> 6* The Giant Ridiarium aims it's hand and fires a beam.
<Dias> 6Dias whistles and moves after him
<DeathStar> 6* It seems big enough to annihilate all those outside
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shoves Zephyr and herself aside
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts and dashes to the left.
* Sally`Wolf decides to move, diving aside.
<Marcus`> * Theron drags Myria with him too.
<Dias> 6SPoC dashes to the side to try and dodge
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin jumps aside, and Katrina rolls out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the ground, blowing a hole in it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A normal Ridiarium was hard enough to beat with that infusion. How will we beat this?
* Marcus` steps outside and sees the hole, then glances up, he mouth drops open. "...another?"
<Myria> Eeeee!
<Dias> <Dias> That's a big one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, dusting herself off.
<Marcus`> Last one we beat with gears.
<Dias> Gears..Got it. Keep it busy. 6He turns and dashes back inside
<DeathStar> 6* The Giant Ridiarium begins to form a dark matter ball
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises, spitting.
<Ariel> 6* Em sees the giant Ridiarium, and retreats back into the base.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... 6* He fires at the Ridiarium
* Sally`Wolf pulls up her gun, aiming for it's eye and fires a charged beam at it.
<Dias> 6SPoC stands up and turns, launching a grenade for it's face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her dragoon buster, aiming at the eye and firing
<DeathStar> 6* The attacks hit the Giant Ridiarium. It makes a sound of annoyance
* Marcus` shifts up the rail gun and kneels, he aims at the section under the left arm, firing. Hoping it'll cause it to drop the matter onto itself.
<Dias> 6SPoC quickly ejects and loads again, aiming
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stumbles back, tired
<Marcus`> * Theron fires a grenade from his rifle for it's head, more to delay it than anything.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot hits. The Ridiarium complies, by dropping the dark matter toward the group
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snatches Zephyr and moves again
<Myria> Theron...I think we shoudl run! *runs for it!*
<Dias> 6SPoC turns, moving away again
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes it and runs away.
* Marcus` is jerked back and falls onto his ass. "...ow fuck that was a big kick." He glances up and sighs, scrambling to his feet to run away.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs and runs off
<Marcus`> * Theron dashes back again.
<DeathStar> 6* The dark matter falls toward Marcus alone
* Marcus` glances over his shoulder while he is running. "Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* It hits the ground near him, and begins to eat the group up, growing large
<DeathStar> *ground
* Myria run run runs!
* Sally`Wolf starts running, growling angrily.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes it. At the rate it's growing, it'll take out the base
<Dias> 6Dias slides into the hanger and dashes for a shuttle, running up the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands again
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oy...tired now
<Dias> 6SPoC comes to a stop and turns, firing another grenade at the Ridariums face
<Marcus`> Oh no. Oh no. *He repeats, then pauses, he glances at the side of it and jerks his hand around, trying to leeech some of the energy from it to make it less of a risk.*
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade hits it again, and it gets pissed
* Sally`Wolf turns and fires another charged beam from her cannon at the creature's eye.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing is leeches. Maybe if he touched it
* Dias moves into the shuttle and quickly begins to power it up.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium gets angrier. It throws a fist down at Sally
<Marcus`> ...oh god i'm going to die." * He takes a breathes and dashes forward, his arm glowing black as he reaches out to touch it. *
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts to fire a grenade for it's head.
* Sally`Wolf runs away, leaping as the fist grows closer to teh ground, she rolls as she does and fires again at it's face as she comes to a stop.
<DeathStar> 6* His hand enters and is ripped off. The dark matter vanishes
<Dias> 6SPoC aims and fires another shot for it's head.
<Ariel> 6* Em heads to the roof, and then takes aim.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Jones?!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gasps at Marcus
* Marcus` wdiens his eyes and falls to his knees.
* Dias lifts the shuttle up and turns it towards the hanger exit, heading out for it
* Myria puts Marcus down for a new hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The Giant Ridiarium is show a few more times. So far it doesn't notice Dias or Em
* Sally`Wolf pulls out a second rifle, she fires her cannon again as she lets this one charge.
<DeathStar> 6* A black hand claw forms from the missing stump. It appears his Dark One powers are manifesting.
<DeathStar> 6* His corruption rises
* Dias brings the shuttle around in an arc, the ramp hanging wide open.
<Myria> Or not. *takes Marcus off the list*
<Ariel> 6* Em trys to get the shot lined up with one of the eyes, then fires the Warren special plasma rifle.
* Marcus` tries to stabalize his breathing, eyeing the claw.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the Ridiarium, blowing out it's eye. IT falls back, it's dark black lines glowing
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up at Em
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "Excellent shot."
* Dias readjusts the shuttle as it falls, aiming for the back of it's head.
<DeathStar> 6* The Giant Ridiarium regains itself, turning to face the shuttle
<Ariel> 6* Em lines up for another shot. Hoping the others will take advantage of it's moment of weakness.
* Sally`Wolf fires both her cannon and the rifle at the RIdaroum's head.
<Dias> 6Dias flips the engines to overload and turns, dashing to the back of the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium eyes it, as if it were nothing
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... we should move
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves off to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Marcus to his feet and takes them both off to the side
<Dias> <Dias> This is going to hurt. 6He runs down the ramp and leaps off, free falling
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts and moves back, taking Myria with him.
<Dias> 6SPoC begins backing up. Quickly
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle hits it's face, causing a massive explosion. The Giant Ridiarium falls backwards
* Sally`Wolf moves quickly.
* Marcus` glances at Katrina breifly, nodding once. Since he can't seem to speak right now
<Myria> Ack! *puts up her list as Theron grabs her*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes and grabs Dias as he falls, collapsing
<Ariel> 6* Em shoots it again for good measure, then ducks down so the shockwave won't hit her
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium hits the ground, causing a boom. It's then shot
<DeathStar> 6* It breaks up
* Dias is caught by Cheryl, his back smokes from the explosion.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans over to eye it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls, cursing with each roll, pissed at her pain
<DeathStar> 6 *Scar steps back out. "Go team!"
* Sally`Wolf puts her guns away and grumbles, pulling herself up.
<Dias> 6SPoC lowers her launcher. 1"Is it neutralized?
<DeathStar> 6* The hand vanishes from Marcus once the danger is gone, leaving a stump
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I say it's dead.
<Dias> <SPoC> That is good.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pokes it with a gun
* Myria puts Marcus back on to her list for a hand again.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus walks out. "Any one need a ... hand?"
* Marcus` shifts to hold onto his arm, making a face. He's in pain, that's for sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods to Em once. "Good job." 6* He moves to check on Dias
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts, glancing around.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> No? No one? 6* He moves back into watch his soaps
* Dias comes to a stop with Cheryl ontop of him. 1"My hero."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up, making a face.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
<DeathStar> 6* Xril is in a chair in a brightly lit room, cuffed. Alexander sits across from him.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> So, what is your purpose for saving the team?
<Xrileshr> Saving my race.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I see. You realize we're at war with them and will do whatever it takes to win it?
* Xrileshr says, his eyes unwavering from Alexander's
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leans back. Alexander is a man in his mid-twenties, but he holds himself as a man much older, and much more dangerous than he lets on.
* Kitzzzune has joined #taw
* Kitzzzune is now known as Kit
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kit
<Xrileshr> I realize. Which is why I beleived you might find a Tsiv valuable. Was I wrong in my assumptions, executive?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> No. I just wonder if you can be trusted if we start killing your people in any method to win.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander adjusts his tie as he waits
<Xrileshr> You want to win? As do my people. We are not so different you and I.. Alexander. May I call you that?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> That's fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander reaches down into his pocket, producing a chip like Warren used. He places it on the table
<Xrileshr> Then, Alexander, your people saw me take the lives of my own. Do you not understand my motives? The Dark ones pose a threat to both of us- our leaders were blatent FOOLs to sign the treaties with them
<Xrileshr> They are a treacherous lot, wouldnt you agree? If our two races continue with bitter and pointless prejudice, we will both disapear into the flames of war.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Maybe so. Your people may be better warriors, but we have years of experience fighting this enemy. So I will make you a deal. I will place you on the team leading the fight against them, and allow you to gain knowledge. Your motives, however interesting, matter little to me. Action does.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> So, if you want to be on that team, proving yourself, place that chip up your nose.
<Xrileshr> I was considered a visionary in my home world, and as such thusly ignored. My people are ones of order and blind obediance.. I had hoped I wouldnt encounter the same obstacles here.
<Xrileshr> What does it do? *he asks, eying the chip from across the table
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It will monitor your brain waves, and prevent you from betraying the team. Since you claim to have no intention of doing so, it shouldn't matter.
<Xrileshr> *After a moment of contemplation Xil reaches across the table, picking up the chip. He places it on his nose
<DeathStar> 6* The chip moves up his nose, a bit painfully, but nothing he couldn't handle. It attaches to his brain
<Xrileshr> Then let my actions speak for me, Alexander.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods, and taps a button on a datapad in his lap. The cuffs release from Xril.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Then I will have my people take you to see General Paladin. You will follow his orders.
<Xrileshr> Under a general then? *he chuckles* A promotion already. It seems I made a passable decision afterall.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We'll see.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits on the ground, taking deep breaths. Caduceus patches up the wounded
* Marcus` sits there on his ass, stumpy arm propped up onto his knee, his eyes are closed.
<DeathStar> 6* A military car drives up and stops
* Myria looking over Marcus.
* Dias groans as he rubs his shoulders. 1"That was painfully fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snoozes leaning against the Ridiarium
* Marcus` opens his eyes. "You won't be needed, Myria." Indeed his stump isn't even bleeding.
* Sally`Wolf sits near Scar, distracting herself with one of her guns.
<DeathStar> 6* The back of the car opens and a Tsivrixsh and some agents step out
<Ariel> Em> "You know... you have a screwed up version of fun."
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts to glance at the car.
<DeathStar> <Agents> General Paladin, the Vice President has decided the Tsivrixsh will work for you
* Dias pauses and looks at Em then nods. 1"Yeah, yeah I do. But it's fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances over, groaning
<Dias> 6SPoC eyes the remains.
* Sally`Wolf smiles as she looks over.
<DeathStar> 6* A brand new shuttle arrives nearby, landing. It seems armed to the teeth. Pope smokes his cig from the pilot's seat.
<Sally`Wolf> "Xil!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kneels before Marcus. "You should watch what you do, Marcus."
<Marcus`> Yeah. It had to be done. *he attempts to stand*
<Dias> Thanks for the catch Cheryl...6He looks over at Kat and Marcus. 1"I heroically fly a shuttle into the face of a Giant Ridarium and get blown out of it and he get's the talk."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin brings his hand to his comm. "Yes sir?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods
<DeathStar> 6* Pope steps off the shuttle.
<Myria> Don't you want a new hand though?
* Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"You'll alteaslt reprimand me for my insane heroics tho, right?"
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah yeah. Idiot. Dumbass.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Marcus up
<Marcus`> No thank you, Myria. *he stands and glances at Kat* Thanks for the help. I owe you.
<DeathStar> <Pope> I got the ride ready, Geeeeeneral
<Dias> Thank you. 6He smiles now as if his world is complete.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm?
<DeathStar> 6* Pope lowers his hand. "We've located the Ridiariums that took Billy."
<Marcus`> I'm pretty sure the explosion would've screwed me up more.
<Myria> But I sketched out plans and everything!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Yes. I've been informed. Everyone on the shuttle."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, think nothing of it
* Dias holds his hand donw at Cheryl to help her up
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hand, and stands up on her own, sneering
* Marcus` nods. And winks at her, weakly moving towards the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves onto the shuttle.
* Sally`Wolf smirks and gets aboard.
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts to get on the shuttle.
<Dias> <Dias> Now that's what I'm talking about. 6He beams even more and moves to the shuttle beside her
<Dias> SPoC looks over at Paladin then at Zephyr. 1"Zephyr, we are leaving now."
* Xrileshr follows the rest of the team onboard, staying quiet for the most part
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks onto the shuttle, helping Marcus
* Myria skips over to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snoozes, appparantly out of it
<Dias> 6SPoC tilts her head then turns, moving towards the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes a seat at the copilot station
<Marcus`> * Theron peers. "Zephyr seems to be asleep. Should we bring her along?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No. Dias, take the pilot seat
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets onto the shuttle and sits
* Dias nods and moves to the pilots seat, sitting down
<Dias> 6SPoC steps onto the shuttle and sits down
<Marcus`> * Theron nods and sits down.
* Marcus` sits down, nodding to Kat for her help, again.
* Myria straps herself in.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin inputs the location into the nev system
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles and sits
* Xrileshr takes a seat with the others " Forgive me, friends, but I've had a very busy day.. Would someone care to tell me of our objective?"
* Kit is now known as Kitzzzune
<Sally`Wolf> "Saving the children."
<Dias> <Dias> Child, Wolf. Child.
* Sally`Wolf stares at Dias, who didn't appear to get it.
* Dias lifts the shuttle slightly off the ground. 1"We all ready?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ready.
<Xrileshr> I am prepared.
<Dias> Tally ho. 6He closes the ramp and heads off.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his weapon.
* Marcus` leans back and closes his eyes, probably resting.
<Marcus`> * Theron quietly checks his rifle over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to move to the NA continent
<Dias> 10 bucks says they based in Mega City.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No
* Kitzzzune is now known as Kit
<Dias> Damn. Well nobody bet against me so I don't have to pay.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Do we have any idea of the numbers we may face?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No.
<Dias> <SPoC> I believe that they are not waiting for rescue so it will be few. Around 8.
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to fly over the desert area
<Marcus`> <Theron> Is that an assumption?
<Dias> <SPoC> It would also be ok to believe that there will be Dark Ones. 6She looks at at Theron. 1"It is a rational theory."
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head, then nods.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, they appear to be approaching the Grand Canyon area.
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh great, more rocks."
<Dias> Seriously. Rocks?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It makes sense, I guess
<Dias> Why?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> They use rocks, don't they?
<Marcus`> Natural Camoflauge.
<Dias> I'm following you so far.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, this is like a weapon field for them.
<Myria> Its like rocks in a rock field!
<Dias> I like Myrias explanation.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at Myria
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs
<Marcus`> * Theron sighs slightly. "This will be most difficult.
<Myria> Trees in a forest. You know...
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's a kaboom over head
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin pauses, glancing up
<Dias> 6Dias jerks the shuttle in response. 1"We got...booms.
<Marcus`> * Theron tilts his head. "What is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Up in space, their ship begins to crash toward the planet, the ridiarium ship follwoing it
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the weapon defense system couldn't stop it
<DeathStar> 6* Both ships, one falling rapidly toward the ground, and the other descending like a rock
<Dias> Oh this is going to be fun.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> My ship
<DeathStar> 6* Pieces of the damaged ship begin to break up
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, panicked. "Dias. Get to our ship. Now."
<Dias> On it. 6He pulls the shuttle upwards, heading towards their ship
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait, why are we...? Oh. 6* she pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Pieces of the ship break off, flying at Dias. PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* LEft, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 2
* Xrileshr sits, overlooking his new human rifle, uncanniy calm.
<DeathStar> 6* As he flies in, a fox hits the windshield
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin makes a face.
<Dias> This thing have windshield wipers?
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face back.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes.
<Dias> You mind hitting them?
* Sally`Wolf stares, "What... was a fox... Chii?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up and opens the ramp.
<Dias> 6SPoC grabs onto something
<Dias> Whip when she goes flying by Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Chii twists around and throws her wire around, weighted by a kunai.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans around, waiting on Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds onto her seat, so she doesn't fly out
* Dias jerks the shuttle to send her over the shuttle top
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium ship begins to drop boulder at the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* er, boulders
<Dias> Oh shit...
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin frowns.
<Dias> Hurry up...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out with her whip to nab Chii
<Kit> 6Chii curses loudly as she topples off, thankful that she grappled the shuttle ramp with her wire first, yanking herself up furiously.
<DeathStar> 6* She yanks up Chii as Chii pulls
* Dias jerks the shuttle back down to the planet
<DeathStar> 6* A boulder follows Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin grips his seat.
* Dias swings the shuttle slightly to try and get out of it's trajectory
<Marcus`> * Theron tightens his grip on his seat.
<DeathStar> 6* The boulder misses
* Dias starts to level the shuttle out
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to approach the Grand Canyon
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium vessel begins to drop so many boulders now, the sky seems to darken
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, gripping the side of the shuttle, then looks up
* Marcus` opens one eye. "What's going on?"
<Xrileshr> Just whose children are we saving? I'd judge they be from a prestigious family to warrent this much attention..
<Dias> Looks like it's time to run the gulch. 6He jerks the shuttle towards the grand canyon itself
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias goes, boulders fall around. PREPARE YOURSELF
* Sally`Wolf sighs a bit and shrugs. "I still don't know, some demononic child named Billy."
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, LEft, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right

<Kit> 6Chii rubs her head and stares. 1"...That's a lot of shit..'
<DeathStar> 2
<Dias> rllrrllrrllrrllrrllrrrllrrllrrl
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle dodges the boulders and enters the Canyon.
<DeathStar> 6* A Ridarium forms from the wall and leaps at the shuttle
* Dias jerks the shuttle to try and make it miss.
<DeathStar> 6* The RIdarium misses and falls into the river, making a plop sound
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes the ramp.
* Dias face is slightly pale.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smacks Chii in the back of the head
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Good work so far.
<Kit> <Chii> Grah!? What the hell, Cherry!?
<Kit> 6Chii buckles over and rubs her head more quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smacks again. "Don't do anything so stupid!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Again
<Dias> Hu...Oh yeah. Pscht, piece of pie.
* Kit is now known as Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a rock vessel flies in behind Dias, targetting them
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We have a boogey.
<Chii> What do you mean!? The freakin' ship was sailin' for niffleheim!
<Dias> A boogey?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get off it normally next time, stupid!
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Enemy ship. Sorry.
<Dias> Oh. Why didn't you just say that? 6He brings them down, and flies along the river.
<Chii> You guys took the shuttles! That quiet prick and the pothead, too.
<DeathStar> 6* As he moves, he has to more along the Canyon, and the shots fired. PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, DOwn, LEft, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, up, Down, Up, Down, LEft, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Down, Up, DOwn, LEft, Right, Right, Up

<DeathStar> 6* The ship dodges everthing expertly
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks pale.
<Sally`Wolf> "H-How the hell does he do that?"
<Chii> I think I'm going to be sick...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs. "Nice."
<Dias> 6Dias coughs, unusually quiet.
<Chii> I ... I think that was faster than my quickdraw.
<Marcus`> * Theron stares at Dias quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship struggles to keep up and crashes
* Marcus` laughs. "Nice one, man. You inhuman fuck."
<Dias> <SPoC> I may have to re-evaluate him.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, further down on the ground, a group of Ridariums appear to be present
* Dias blinks. 1"And you didn't want me to pilot you Cheryl. That hurts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> God. You make that sound creepily sexual
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin points. "There."
<DeathStar> 6* In the middle appears to be a human child
* Chii peers toward Cheryl. 1"...Sorry. Just don't leave me and Dias in a room of rubix cubes."
<Chii> I'll feel eternally braindead.
<Dias> That's the idea Cheryl. 6He looks at Paladin. 1"What's the plan?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We'll have to take them on foot. The shuttle could hurt the child
<Dias> Good point.
<Xrileshr> *Xil's gun powers up in the background " Its about time. "
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums turn back to face the child.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the ramp again
<Dias> Than where do I land?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> On the ground near them.
<Dias> Sweet. 6He brings them into land
* Marcus` pulls himself up, his face is hiding any pain he may be feeling.
* Sally`Wolf powers up her cannon and readies herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps out as the shuttle lowers
<DeathStar> 6* She lands on the ground in a kneeling position
* Xrileshr is close behind Cheryl
<Dias> 6SPoC leaps out after Cheryl. She pulls the grenade launcher up.
* Xrileshr scans the area for enemies
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums nearby. 8 of them
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't leap out until Dias lands
<Marcus`> * Theron walks down the ramp. "8. Interesting."
<Dias> 6Dias lands.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs off.
<Xrileshr> ... No way we can take 8 Ridarium. We'll have to distract them long enough to extract the child *he says the cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves out
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can't handle 8? HAh.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Some Tsivrixsh
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip
* Marcus` walks down the ramp. "Great, we got the wimpy one."
* Chii hops down the ramp. 1"I'm actually feeling better despite the fall."
<Dias> 6Dias moves down the ramp, cracking his knuckles
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks over, tired up. "ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU SHOWED UP YOU JERK FACES."
* Sally`Wolf leaps down wordlessly and holds her cannon at the ready.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums pull out a black dagger, and suddenly drive it into Billy's chest, where her heart is at, causing the girl's eyes to widen
<Marcus`> Don't worry Billy. Uncle Marcus is here to save the day.
<Dias> That's not good. 6He tenses up
* Marcus` stops mid-sentence, widing his eyes. "NO!"
<Sally`Wolf> "Just... tied up what... oh god!?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh God.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin stare as well
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums turn to face them as Billy goes limp, bleeding
<Marcus`> * Theron frowns, raising his rifle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She stares as Billy is stabbed, her mouth opening. "Cassandra's going to kill us."
* Xrileshr frowns at Cheryl " Right. Then let us grind them to dust. " he eyes Billy's situaution surprisedly "... Now we dont have any time. You distract them. I'll get the boy before its too late."
