Session Ident: #taw
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Outside the Prison
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* William Spade has been severely injured by the explosion, and stands off against Sardis, while the others' path out has been blocked by a tank, and soldiers moving in to flank them. Despite Paladin's efforts, it would appear they are still trapped
15[20:03] * 13SPoC eyes the tank blocking their way, then the soldiers moving to flank them.
[20:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> We could really use another distraction.
15[20:03] * 13@Marcus glances around quickly. "I'm working on it."
15[20:03] * 13@Jennifer` hangs in SPoC's arms, staring ahead with a look of shock stuck on her face, tears running down her cheeks.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> DO NOT LET THEM LEAVE HERE ALIVE!
[20:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> I have an idea. But I'm definetly not able to do it.
[20:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well maybe not.
[20:03] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> What is it?
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin twists, firing at the soldiers to keep them back.
[20:04] <13SPoC> <Dias> Let's release some criminals.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Do it.
15[20:04] * 13SPoC shifts her aim, firing.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin tosses Dias some grenades.
[20:04] <13SPoC> 6Dias claps his hands together and holds both his arms out towards the prison.
[20:04] <13@Marcus> * Theron also opens fire, assisting Paladin and SPoC.
[20:04] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Considering who the 'criminals' are in this realm...
09[20:05] <13@Jennifer`> "Mommy..."
[20:05] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Oh, well we could use those. 6He grabs the grenades and pulls the pins out with his teeth. He then steps forward and hurls them towards the prison wall
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to pick off soldiers form her vantage point
[20:05] <13@Marcus> That's a damn good idea. Nice Dias.
[20:05] <13@Marcus> NRP: comma after Dias.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dashes in at Sardis, despite bleeding heavily.
[20:05] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja holds up a palm quickly, focusing light energy as she gazes off toward the prison. 1"It's worth a shot." 6She throws her hand down, releasing a myriad of seperate shots-- her stronger attack.
15[20:06] * 13@Marcus pulls up his shotgun and starts spraying shots out at incoming soldiers.
15[20:06] * 13@Myria ducks down and then runs some scans of the surrounding area, looking for a path out of there, fingers working on her suits virtual interface.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The prison wals begin to be destroyed from the explosions and attacks
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin shifts, throwing a grenade at the tank blocking their path
[20:07] <13SPoC> 6Dias punches his chest and then holds his hand out towards the Prison wall, trying to form an energy attack.
15[20:07] * 13Sardis turns quickly, thrusting a pistol toward's Spade's neck, pulling the trigger at close range
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges as Sardis does this, as if predicting his move before he does it,. He swings out and knocks the gun out of his hand
15[20:07] * 13@Jennifer` starts hugging onto SPoC, unconciously making it easier to hold her by providing her own support, she goes dead silent otherwise.
15[20:08] * 13SPoC turns, firing at another guard, then aims at another, firing
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens for Dias
15[20:08] * 13Sardis spins with the momentum of the swing, diving back slightly as he pulls his second pistol, firing with the left at more of a range
[20:08] <13@Marcus> 6* Stepping out of the hole in the wall slowly, is Xanatos Durran, wearing that lovable prison jumpsuit.
[20:08] <13SPoC> <Dias> Stupid worthless. 6He lowers his hand
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade twists his body to avoid it, almost unnaturally.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Prisoners begin to rush out. The guards turn, firing at them in surprise
15[20:09] * 13Sardis raises a brow " What the.. " he continues firing, backpedaling, watching Spade's movements
[20:09] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos shifts put himself behind another prisoner when they open fire.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges each shot, stepping just enough to avoid them.
[20:09] <13@Myria> ...huh? You've got to be kidding me. Oh! *looks back at her interface, seeing if any paths to freedom have opened up*
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twists and lands beside Sardis, rising up. The fifteen year old aims her guns. "He can predict your movements."
[20:09] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron fires at a soldier and pulls out a grenade throwing it for the tank blocking their path as well.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tank is damaged by the grenade.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina uses her sword to help protect SPoC, since she has Jen to worry about.
[20:10] <13SPoC> 6Dias stands there, grumbling.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip and grabs the wall, climbing up it to get to the other side. An attack shuttle flies in, firing at the team.
15[20:10] * 13@Jennifer` is still too in shock to do anything other then stare blankly and cry.
15[20:11] * 13SPoC grabs SPoC tightly and starts moving away from the shuttle's attacks
[20:11] <13SPoC> NRP: Jen.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves with SPoC.
[20:11] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos uses the injured criminal that was his shield before as a literal shield as he rushes forward toward an attacker.
[20:11] <13@Marcus> NRP: Guard.
15[20:11] * 13@Marcus jerks and dashes to the left.
15[20:11] * 13@Myria moves to evade the attacking shuttle.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The prisoner squirms in Xan's grip
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves out of the way.
[20:11] <13@Marcus> * Theron glances up and shifts to move out of the way quickly.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps over and lands on the tnak, opening it up with her whip.
[20:11] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves out of the way.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Another attack shuttle moves in and opens fire on the first
[20:12] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos would shove the criminal towards the guard once he got close enough and turns to attack the closest one, attempting to get his weapon from him.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard loses his weapon. He scrambles away. Criminals are a cowardly lot
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade pulls out his gun and fires at Sardis
15[20:13] * 13Sardis narrows his eyes, dashing to the side and wheelbarrel's over a fallen soldier, picking up his side arm as he lands. He begins backpedalling towards his teamates now, trying to predict Spade's movements- firing once, then firing toward's Spade's projected dodge position with the other
[20:13] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos would fire at the closest enemy guards, attempting to make his way toward the group.
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade's shot cancels out Sardis'.
15[20:14] * 13@Marcus slides his shotgun away, afraid he may hit someone that isn't meant to be shot and pulls up his pistol taking careful shots for the guards.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens fire, trying to keep Spade busy again. Spade dodges her shots.
[20:14] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron slides a grenade into the underbarrel launcher of his rifle and shifts to get an opening to the blocking tank, firing the grande at him.
[20:14] <13SPoC> 6Dias hops forward and starts running towards Sardis/Zephyr/Spade
[20:14] <13@Marcus> NRP: grenade*
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl removes the tank out of the way
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, not fast enough to dodge Theron's shot.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> The exit is CLEAR
[20:15] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron widens his eyes and moves over to check Cheryl's condition.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes Jen for SPoC, moving for the hole
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes Dias coming in.
[20:16] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja moves up behind Theron. 1"Explosives are an ironic thing for you to make a mistake with..."
15[20:16] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her numbly, holding on tightly to Kat.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs out of the tank, coughing. She winces, her tactical suit ripped near her side
09[20:16] <13@Jennifer`> "Why...?"
[20:16] <13@Marcus> <Theron> Indeed. *he checks Cheryl's condition, pulling out some erusian nanites*
15[20:16] * 13Sardis ducks to the side as Spade's bullet flies over his shoulder "What is this guy.. " he mutters to himself, dashing in at Spade, moving to grapple his gun arm
[20:16] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts his hands in his pockets and pulls them back out, each one holding two bouncy buys
[20:17] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos doesn't say much to anyone, just works on escaping for now.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges Sardis before he can touch him, lashing out with his own weapon. He suddenly stops his attack when Zephyr shoots at him.
15[20:17] * 13@Myria moves over to assist Theron with the first aid.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* He dodges her attack.
15[20:18] * 13@Marcus eyes the Spade incident. "Dias, Sardis. Let's go!" He turns for the exit, moving for it.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets out onto the street.
[20:18] <13SPoC> 6Dias leaps around Sardis and then in at Spade, throwing a spinning kick low for him
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges the kick by grabbing Dias' foot. Zephyr fires at him and he flips up over it.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sardis! Hit him!
[20:18] <13@Myria> Theron, we need to gte moving. You
[20:18] <13@Myria> Theron, we need to gte moving. You'll have to help her move.
15[20:19] * 13Sardis eyes Marcus' direction as he yells. "This isnt working.. " he leaps backwards, dashing towards the exit as Dias takes spade's attention
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. "I'm fine. I'm fine." 6* She snarls.
15[20:19] * 13SPoC stays low and drops his foot, spin kicking with his other foot towards Spade
[20:19] <13SPoC> NRP: Dias.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade leaps over it, landing away from Dias, aiming his gun and firing
[20:19] <13@Marcus> * Theron shakes his head. "My apologies." He says, seeming like someone pissed in his cheerios.
[20:19] <13SPoC> 6Dias tries to shift out of the shot, his left hand squeezing.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade aims and fires where Dias' moves toward
15[20:20] * 13SPoC starts to retreat towards the hole with her
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* A tank comes driving up and John leans out. "All aboard."
[20:20] <13SPoC> 6Dias' eyes go wide and he twists hard, his left hand flying forward and a bouncy ball flying out of it
[20:20] <13@Myria> Come on! *runs over and climbs on to John's tank*
15[20:21] * 13@Jennifer` buries her face in Kat's shoulder, oblivious to the events around her.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges the ball by leaning back, but Zephyr's read, firing at him. He's hit and goes flying
[20:21] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja looks around for Paladin after the tank rides up
[20:21] <13@Marcus> * Theron glances up. And moves to climb onto the tank.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin climbs onto the tank, reloading his gun
15[20:21] * 13SPoC moves onto the tank, pulling Jen up onto it
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps SPoC get Jen onto the tank.
15[20:21] * 13@Marcus steps out onto the street and moves to get onto the tank.
[20:21] <13SPoC> 6It bounces once and smoke begins to billow out from it
[20:21] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja boards the tank, sitting on its top with a heaved sigh
[20:21] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos climbs onto the tank, glancing at John. "Glad to see I was so vital you decided to come and save me."
[20:22] <13SPoC> 6Dias winces and squeezes his other hand, tossing another bouncy ball along the ground towards Spade
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade flips, and throws out an item, that attaches to Zephyr's chest. She looks down and sees a remote detonator.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade lands, leaping up and detonating the charge on Zeph.
[20:22] <13SPoC> 6The ball explodes sending out a concussion burst
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh, wait, when did you get captured?
[20:22] <13SPoC> 6Dias jerks towards Zephyr, his eyes going wide
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade is knocked back. Zephyr also goes flying
[20:23] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> ...2 days ago.
[20:23] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts his footing and starts dashing after Zephyr
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <John> Huh
15[20:23] * 13Sardis exits the compound, boarding the tank
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade holds his bloodied face and runs off.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr lands, in a bloodied mess.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <John> We're missing Dias and Zeph.
[20:23] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Well. That makes me feel great. *he notes, sighing*
[20:23] <13SPoC> 6Dias slides upto her, his hands grabbing her and lifting her up as he passes by.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* More attack shuttles begin to enter the area. John whistles, and begins to drive forward slowly
[20:24] <13SPoC> 6Dias starts dashing forward towards the exit, moving as fast as he can
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares at Paladin. "Why did you shoot Jennifer's mother?!"
15[20:25] * 13@Marcus eyes Paladin now, himself.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> She was most likely already dead. 6* He checks his gun.
[20:25] <13SPoC> He had no other choice. 6She looks at Kat.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> No--other choice? 6* She stares in disbelief at SPoC.
[20:26] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> I never thought to try and feel out life.
[20:26] <13@Marcus> It was either we die, or she does. Paladin wanted to survive. It's that simple.
[20:26] <13SPoC> Spade would've killed her irregardless.
[20:26] <13@Myria> This is such a bad reality...
[20:26] <13SPoC> 6Dias leaps through the hole in the wall and glances around, moving towards the tank
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> She never looked up or called out to us. IF she was alive, Spade would have had her call out to us - so we would sympathize. And SPoC is right. If she was alive, she would have died anyway.
15[20:26] * 13@Jennifer` lets go of SPoC now, curling in on herself.
[20:26] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Valid reasoning.
09[20:26] <13@Jennifer`> "All my fault..."
[20:27] <13@Marcus> Doesn't make it right. *he spits, looking up at the sky*
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sees Dias, then gets into the tank, speeding up when Dias is close enough to get on
[20:27] <13@Marcus> * Theron shifts to reach out a hand to help Dias.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs her hands through Jennifer's hair, pulling the girl to her
[20:27] <13SPoC> It's not that I stand behind it. It was more that we had little choice.
[20:27] <13@Myria> Its not your fault. Its Cran's tyranny and Spade's sadism that killed your mother.
[20:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts Zephyr upto Theron
[20:27] <13@Marcus> * Theron lifts her up, eyeing her condition.
09[20:27] <13@Jennifer`> "My fault... should have stayed home... shouldn't have run... Mommy..."
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* A bloodied mess. Her chest has been completely damaged
[20:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias takes a deep breath and grabs the tank edge and pulls himself up onto it
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Shhh, sweetie, it's not your fault...
15[20:28] * 13@Myria leans over to look at Zephyr.
[20:28] <13@Marcus> <Theron> Myria, quickly. *he lays Zephyr out on the side of the tank.*
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's eyes widen and she moves over. "God..."
15[20:28] * 13SPoC sits on the edge, breathing heavily.
[20:28] <13SPoC> NRP: Dias
15[20:29] * 13@Myria nods and pulls out her med kit, getting to work to try to stabilize Zephyr and stop the bleeding.
[20:29] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Where's Kane. *he asks John*
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hiding somewhere.
[20:29] <13SPoC> 6Dias glances down at his wound briefly then over at Zephyr
[20:29] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> With Angela no doubt. *he makes a slight face*
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> In Angela no doubt.
15[20:30] * 13@Jennifer` breaks into full blown crying, she keeps trying to form words but only a little comes out. "N-Never said goodbye... just ran... she..."
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina works to try to soothe Jennifer with her abilities, so the girl can calm herself.
[20:30] <13@Marcus> * Xanatos makes a worse face. "That's nasty."
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's sex.
15[20:30] * 13Sardis hunches over, turning his head to watch the passing scenery " So this entire escapade was for nothing? "
[20:31] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> But it's Kane.
[20:31] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja glances over at Zephyr and flinches, not quite moving yet, either indifferent or paralyzed.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> ....
15[20:31] * 13SPoC leans against a part of the tank, saddness in her eyes
[20:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> We seriously injured Spade if that helps.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> It might allow us to move without him predicting our movements.
15[20:32] * 13@Marcus glances at Dias, looking from him to Zephyr. "If we run into him next time, let me handle him. Alright?"
15[20:32] * 13@Jennifer` slowly starts to calm, she reaches out weakly and graps some of SPoC's shirt.
[20:32] <13SPoC> <Dias> We probably could've taken him out too but someone decided to retreat.
[20:32] <13Sardis> He'll be back. His type always comes back with an ace up his sleeve.
[20:32] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes Marcus. 1"I can handle him."
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <John> Ace. Ha ha ha. Nice. Ace of Spades.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* John runs a hand through his hair, making jokes to hide the tenseness in his jaw
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <John> Screw it. 6* He suddenly changes directions
15[20:33] * 13@Marcus shakes his head. "I beat him before. On that Dark One soul thing."
[20:34] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos glances at John. "What are you doing?"
[20:34] <13SPoC> <Dias> Maybe, but I think he was a wuss. This one isn't.
[20:34] <13@Marcus> Spade is Spade. But if you want to make up for what happened to Zephyr. Be my guest.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <John> Going to Cran's base. Our hideout is compromised. But their main card is in a lot of pain, and I'm going to ram this tank down their throat while we can
[20:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> We should find somewhere to hide Zephyr.
[20:35] <13@Marcus> <Theron> We should hope Myria can stabilize her first.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <John> Agreed.
15[20:35] * 13@Myria continues working to stabilize Zephyr.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pulls out a comm. "Kane, meet us in that place."
[20:36] <13@Marcus> <Kane on Comm> Right.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> Location: Strip Bar
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drinks alcohol as he waits for Kane. The tank is crudely parked between two cars, shoving them aside
[20:37] <13SPoC> 6Dias holds a bottle of whiskey in his hand.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is barely stablized now, but it's hard to say if she'll live
[20:38] <13@Marcus> * Theron sits by Myria, who is probably looking over Zephyr.
15[20:38] * 13@Myria monitors Zephyr's vitals with her smart suit.
[20:38] <13SPoC> 6SPoC remains quiet, having stayed nearby Jennifer
15[20:38] * 13@Jennifer` sits quietly, she refuses to leave Natalie's side. Her eyes staring a bit vacantly.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks down, not really talking.
[20:38] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos sits there drinking a beer, that John bought for him. Being in prison is all.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits from the others; he glances at Freyja. "I can't help but think I made the wrong decision." 6* His hand claspes a cross.
[20:39] <13SPoC> <Dias> Maybe some alcohol will knock me straight. 6He eyes the bottle and takes a big pull
[20:39] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane steps into the bar, moving over to John.
15[20:39] * 13Sardis leans against the tank outside
15[20:39] * 13@Marcus sits near Kat, who is probably with Jen, not saying much of anything.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> There you are - you should get Zephyr somewhere safe so Angela can work on her.
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela steps in with him, looking around, "Why does he always insist on this?"
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there. She doesn't peer at Zephyr, and eyes the ground, jaw locked.
[20:40] <13@Marcus> * Kane tilts his head "Alpha Zephyr was injured?"
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. She could die any time.
[20:40] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Which decision saved more lives, Gordon?
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We can't be sure of the other outcome. I'm positive she was dead, but I can't be sure. I'll never be sure now.
[20:40] <13@Marcus> * Kane arches a brow and nods his head. "Of course. Uh, Secret Base J." He says, probably referring to where they are going, then nods to Angela and moves to retrieve Zephyr.
[20:40] <13SPoC> 6Dias lowers the bottle than raises it again, downing it all. He scrunches his face afterwards
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer`> Angela> "What?" *she rushes over to Zephyr, pulling out her medical gear*
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sets the bottle down. He moves over to look down at Zephyr.
15[20:41] * 13@Jennifer` hugs onto SPoC tightly.
15[20:41] * 13SPoC hugs her back.
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela starts treating her right then and there.
[20:41] <13@Marcus> * Theron glances up at them.
[20:41] <13@Myria> I have her stabilised for the moment.
[20:42] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> There are some things we're never allowed to know. I'll live with my mistakes the rest of my life... I will not blame you for yours.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I'll blame me. 6* He rises to his feet.
[20:42] <13@Marcus> <Kane> Good work. I will get the van, you can continue your treatment there, Angela. *He steps off*
[20:42] <13SPoC> 6Dias pulls out a second bottle from behind his back. Eyeing it
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* John climbs onto the tank now. "If I don't see you two alive again, it was nice working with you."
15[20:43] * 13SPoC looks over at Paladin. 1"What should we do with Jennifer?
[20:43] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos sets the beer the down and stands up. "I think it's about time we go kick some ass." He hits Dias on the shoulder and moves to go meet up with John at the tank.
09[20:43] <13@Jennifer`> Angela> Fine fine... *she looks up at John* Yeah... Johnny... you be careful alright?
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Bringing her with us is too dangerous. We should leave her with Kane and Angela.
[20:43] <13@Marcus> * Kane pauses and glances up at John. He nods. "And you as well. Godspeed." He steps off to get the van now.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets onto the van, holding her chest silently.
[20:44] <13SPoC> I understand. 6She looks over at Angela. 1"Will you watch Jennifer for me while I am away?
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll stay with Jennifer, too. 6* She tells SPoC.
[20:44] <13@Myria> Take good care of her, ok? *stands up*
[20:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes Xan then rotates his shoulders as he moves to the tank
[20:44] <13SPoC> Thank you. 6She bows to her.
09[20:44] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela looks over at Jennifer, then at Natalie, "Yeah... I can do that."
15[20:44] * 13@Marcus arches a brow at Kat and frowns. "You be careful." He moves to kiss her lightly.
15[20:45] * 13@Jennifer` hugs onto SPoC tighter. "Natalie..."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You'll be in more trouble than me. 6* She returns the kiss
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps onto the tank
[20:45] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron shifts to get onto the tank now. Kane eventually brings the van around, moving to help Angela move Zephyr to the van.
[20:45] <13SPoC> It is fine, Jennifer. Please go with Kat.
15[20:45] * 13@Marcus smiles. "I'll be fine." He winks at her and moves to get onto the van.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to take Jennifer. "Come on, sweetie."
[20:45] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs onto the tank, his hand slipping slightly. He grabs it again and pulls himself up
15[20:45] * 13Sardis moves from leaning on the tank, silently following after paladin
09[20:45] <13@Jennifer`> "B-Be safe... don't die on me..."
15[20:46] * 13@Jennifer` has a stubborn grip.
15[20:46] * 13@Myria climbs on to the tank and sits next to Theron.
[20:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias slips the bottle into his pocket and moves onto the top of the tank, standing above the cannon
[20:46] <13@Marcus> NRP: Tank. ;_;
09[20:47] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela watches Zephyr's vitals, a frown growing on her face.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl touches Zephyr once. "Stay safe." 6* She gets back out onto the tank
15[20:47] * 13SPoC slumps slightly than looks at Paladin. 1"I believe it would best if I stay with Jennifer."
[20:47] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane starts up the van, glancing back. "Is this all that is coming with us?"
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> .... I understand
[20:48] <13SPoC> I apologize for this inconvenience. 6She bows slightly then leads Jennifer to the van
15[20:48] * 13@Jennifer` keeps hugging tightly, walking with her, refusing to let go as though she'd fall into some bottomless pit if she did.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods at John. "Good luck." 6* John nods back. Katrina gets into the van
[20:49] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos holds his aquired rifle in his hand, glancing around slowly.
[20:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias kicks down onto of the tank. 1"Let's give them hell like they've never seen before John."
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <John> Damn straight. 6* He adjusts the controls and begins to back up
09[20:49] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela sits alongside Zephyr, who she works feverishly on to repair her damage.
[20:49] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane waits until everyone is in the van, then pulls out, driving off to Secret Base J.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* J for John
[20:50] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> I'm just going to take a nap while we travel.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* John crushes a car on his way out onto the street.
[20:50] <13@Myria> I'm amazed we haven't been noticed yet.
[20:50] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja peers at Paladin. 1"Our history thus far in this place gives me the feeling I'll need all the energy I can get."
[20:50] <13@Marcus> <Theron> It is highly likely that we already have been.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> You're probably right
[20:51] <13SPoC> 6Dias stumbles slightly as they hit the car. 1"Oi oi oi. Drive straight."
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <John> That was straight.
[20:51] <13@Marcus> You're just drunk, man. *he says to Dias, holding onto the tank, not wanting to fall off, that would be bad*
[20:51] <13SPoC> <Dias> Huh...This whiskey might be better than I'm used to.
15[20:52] * 13@Jennifer` whispers softly, "Sorry... Natalie..."
[20:52] <13SPoC> It is ok Jennifer.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drives along the street, which has been eerily cleared of cars after a certain point
[20:53] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> How many troops do you think they'll throw at us? *he glances at John*
[20:53] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja eyes Paladin carefully, then shakes her head. sitting on the floor of the tank and leaning against him. 1"You wouldn't be yourself if you didn't worry over it."
[20:53] <13SPoC> <Dias> Make sure you ring their doorbell.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin pauses, then puts an arm around Freyja. "You're probably right about that, too. Take it easy for now. I'll look out for you."
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh. 50,000
[20:54] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> I hope we have enough ammo.
[20:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> We've got a tank.
[20:54] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Yeah, they'll have multiple tanks.
[20:55] <13@Marcus> * Theron silently peers at Cheryl, then glances ahead.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She suddenly lurches, holding her chest
[20:55] <13SPoC> <Dias> We've got me. And I'm drunk.
[20:55] <13@Marcus> * Theron quickly arches a brow and slides over to her. "Miss Cheryl?"
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> F-Fine.
[20:56] <13@Marcus> <Theron> That does not seem to be the case. *he notes seriously*
15[20:56] * 13@Marcus arches a brow and glances over at Cheryl. He frowns, "We're running out of time."
[20:57] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Marcus than Cheryl
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they drive down the street, they would find their opponents waiting for them. A group soldiers, led by none other than Cassandra Arakawa
[20:57] <13SPoC> 6Dias pounds on the tank top. 1"HIT THE TURBO!"
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> Right! 6* He pounds a button and fires the cannon instead at the soldiers
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> Whoops.
[20:58] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...That works too.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the soldiers behind the alternate Cassandra, sending them flying up in the air
15[20:58] * 13@Marcus frowns. "Hang on Miss Cheryl. We are almost there." He shifts to lift up his rifle, taking aim.
[20:58] <13@Marcus> NRP: Theron*
15[20:59] * 13Sardis nods approvingly at the resulting explosions. Strangely quiet lately as he ducks back behind the Tank's armor, checking his salvaged pistol
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* John guns the tank toward the remaining soldiers and Alt. Cass.
[20:59] <13@Marcus> * Theron tilts his head and then fires for her head, breathing. "Sorry Cassie."
[20:59] <13SPoC> 6Dias tanks cockily on the tank top, pointing at the remaining soldiers and Alt. Cass. 1"RUN IN FEAR!"
[21:00] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Spread out and take them by the flanks. *moves to the side, firing several charges toward the tank's treads*
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes her blast. "RAIL GUN!"
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tank is hit and swerves. The soldiers move toward the sides now, aiming and firing
[21:01] <13SPoC> 6Dias falls off the top and grabs onto something as he hits the main body
[21:01] <13@Marcus> * Xanatos shifts to fall back, using the tank as cover, firing burst around the edge at the soldiers.
[21:01] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> has a streak of exposed metal on the side of her face where Theron's shot slashed her.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin opens fire at the soldiers
15[21:01] * 13Sardis camps behind the gun, firing on the soldiers as they come into view as they flank around the tank
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> Holy shit, the hot chick is a robot.
[21:01] <13@Marcus> * Theron also falls back to do much of the same. Though he does notice the streak of metal and tilts his head.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John tries to run her over.
15[21:02] * 13@Marcus umphs and falls over. "Dude that's Cass. She's a literal tank by herself."
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <John> Who?
03[21:02] * SPoC is now known as Dias`
[21:02] <13Dias`> She's also loves the carpet. 6he stands up again
[21:02] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *leaps on to the tank and slaps a magnetized shaped charge on to the barrel before leaping away.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <John> That didn't sound good.
[21:02] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the charge. 1"Ahh crap."
[21:03] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Bang bang, boys! *remote detonates it*
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The barrell explodes. Paladin grabs Freyja and rolls to the back, protecting her from metal sharpnel
[21:03] <13@Marcus> * Theron and Xanatos both lowers their heads, being towards the back already.
[21:03] <13Dias`> 6Dias drops down, covering his head
15[21:04] * 13@Marcus hisses, covering his head, but getting a hit by something in his back.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin groans, his tact. suit pierced. He bleeds from his back and slumps a vit
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John begins to drive away in a panic
[21:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly rises, metal shrapnel all over his back.
[21:04] <13@Myria> Eeeeee! *huddles down as shards of metal explode in the air*
15[21:04] * 13Sardis grits his teeth as the explosion rips the barrel off. He stands after a moment, firing on Cassandra, aiming for an eye as John begins to retreat
[21:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> John toss me up a shell!
[21:05] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *ducks down as she runs while being fired on* Suppression fire on that Tsiv now!
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <John> Seriously? 6* He grabs a shell, the tank smashing into a building wall as he hands it up
[21:05] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja appears beside Sardis, curling around in the air and standing just above the ground, not touching as she yawns and stretches, gazing at him sleepily. 1"Why don't you get back to the others now?"
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* All the troops aim at Sardis
[21:05] <13Dias`> 6Dias grabs it, wincing slightly. He glances around, eyeing for Cass
15[21:06] * 13Sardis is on the tank
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John begins to drive again
[21:06] <13@Marcus> * Theron shifts and slides a grenade into the lower barrel of his rifle. He launches it towards the soldiers to keep them in disarray.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers go flying comically.
[21:06] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja blinks as Sardis gets further away and laughs. 1"Ah, you are..." 6She twirls in the air, to face Cassandra.
[21:06] <13Dias`> Theron, time a grenade to hit this puppy. 6He eyes Cass and starts stepping forward on the tank
[21:07] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *twists around, firing a shell at the rear engine housing of the tank*
[21:07] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> TURN!
[21:07] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja holds up a hand and forms a barrier to halt the shell from reaching.
[21:07] <13@Marcus> * Theron shifts his head and loads another, waiting.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns into a building, going through a clothes store
[21:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes two more steps and leaps forward throwing the shell towards Cassandra
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces as she gets hit by a dress.
[21:08] <13@Marcus> * Theron waits for it to get close enough before he would launch the grenade at it. Jerking as they enter the building.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shell/grenade combo would explode, sending Cassandra back due to the sheer explosiveness of it. While she lives, she's out of the fight temporarily
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John runs out the other side of the store onto the next street.
[21:08] <13Dias`> <Dias> I can't believe that actually worked. 6He turns, getting hit by a mannequin
[21:09] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja taps her lip, then turns and begins floating after the tank, before making a short jump back inside, checking on Paladin
15[21:09] * 13@Marcus jerks, sitting there silently, a bit of blood showing on his back.
[21:09] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *comm* Nnnnn... they are going through the department store... air support... sanitize the zone.
09[21:09] <13@Jennifer`> * A woman on a nearby rooftop aims and fires a very large, charged up beam cannon down at the group as they exit the other side.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heads up
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to the other side of the shot.
[21:09] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Fuckin-A. Turn.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meaning, left side of the tank
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin shifts himself to he left side
[21:09] <13@Marcus> * Theron shifts to the opposite side. Xanatos is already on that side.
[21:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias leaps to the left side, covering his head
15[21:10] * 13@Marcus glances up and rolls over to the left side, grunting.
[21:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks up, making a face. 1"I don't know if I can throw that high. John, give me another shell.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the right side of the tank, sending the tank tilting wildly.
15[21:10] * 13Sardis leaps off of the tank as the incoming blast impacts, rolling to the side as he hits the street, rolling to his feet he raises his guns, firing on the attacker as he strafes back towards the tank
09[21:10] <13@Jennifer`> * She drops the cannon and lifts up a rail gun, Wolf aims and fires it at the shifting group.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drives into another building. A lingere store.
[21:11] <13@Myria> Why are we fighting evil versions of everyone we know?!
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Because...ungh...they're working for EarthGov...
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to the bank of the tank to avoid walls being knocked lose on him
[21:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias kneels on the tank, panting.
[21:12] <13@Marcus> <Theron> They are soldiers. It matters not the reason, they are just following orders.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Wolf is shot by Sardis
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John finally holds up a shell
[21:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias grabs it, wincing.
09[21:12] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf stumbles back and growls, becoming angry. She pulls two sets of grenades and tosses them down at the group.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* The group is in th ebuilding, and can't be reached. Only Sardis.
09[21:13] <13@Jennifer`> * Poor, poor Sardis.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drives into the next part of the building. A pizza store.
15[21:13] * 13Sardis doesnt budge, only fires upward at the raining grenades, attempting to detonate them before they reach the ground
15[21:14] * 13@Myria somehow wearing a full lingerie set when they leave the lingerie store.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenades explode
09[21:14] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf lets whatever happens happen, she moves along the building to get another shot location.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Myria, then does a double take
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drives back out onto the streets.
15[21:14] * 13Sardis dashes into the damaged building after the tank, using the explosion as cover. he's gone once it fades.
[21:14] <13@Marcus> * Theron stares at Myria.
15[21:14] * 13@Marcus arches a brow slightly and glances ahead, coughing.
[21:14] <13@Marcus> * Xanatos eyes Myria like he hasn't seen a woman in...2 days.
[21:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Guh these thigns are heavier the second time.
[21:15] <13@Myria> ...I...don't know how this was even possible. *smart suits forms over the lingerie set*
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <John> Jesus, look at you already getting hard. I admit, she is hot.
[21:15] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> What can I say. I enjoy beauty. Even if they are...blue.
[21:15] <13@Marcus> * Theron narrows his eyes at them.
09[21:15] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf aims her cannon as she moves to aim on the next street, a blast charging as she aims for John.
[21:16] <13Dias`> <Dias> JOHN SWERVE!
[21:16] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Should I take care of our predator?
[21:16] <13@Myria> They're still attacking!
09[21:16] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf fires the blast at the dead center of the tank.
[21:16] <13@Marcus> * John's comm rings.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* John jerks to the side to avoid the blast, then picks up his comm.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah?
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> If you can spare the energy
[21:16] <13@Marcus> <Kane on Comm> John. I had a question. Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <John> I, uh.... 6* He eyes the sniper wolf.
[21:17] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Heheh.
09[21:17] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf is charging again, aiming for the ground in front of the tank, she fires off a shot.
[21:18] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Stop!
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* John breaks harshly.
[21:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts sliding towards the front of the tank now
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin rolls forward.
[21:18] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja peers over her shoulder at the building, holding up a hand. 1"Standing on ledges of buildings is dangerous..." 6She begins chanting.
15[21:18] * 13Sardis emerges from the building on the otherside quietly. he looks up at the direction the blast was coming from, taking aim at wolf out of the confusion.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns and begins to go around the hole.
[21:19] <13@Marcus> * Theron grunts and lifts up his rifle, taking aim. He tilts his head, glancing at Freyja out of the corner of his eye.
09[21:19] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf sees Sardis and moves away from the edge, moving along buildings again.
[21:19] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja passes over Paladin, floating along the street, moving upward slightly, waiting for her to appear again.
[21:19] <13Sardis> Damn.. *He dashes forward, heading into the building wolf was last seen at. he ignores the elvators, freerunning up flights of stairs as he flips over raining, moving for the top of the building
[21:20] <13Sardis> *Railing
[21:20] <13Dias`> <Dias> I hate guns.
09[21:20] <13@Jennifer`> * Another rain of grenades comes up over the ledge of one building.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves to the left out of range.
[21:20] <13@Myria> More grenades!
[21:20] <13@Marcus> Becuase you suck at shooting. *he notes with a grunt*
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <John> Ho ho ho. I laugh in the face of explosions!
[21:20] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'll show you sucking at shooting. 6He shakes his fist at MArcus
[21:21] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja closes her eyes briefly and makes a jump to a distance above the buildings where she wouldn't be noticed right away, looking down for Wolf like she was them
15[21:21] * 13@Marcus reaches out a pistol to Dias. "Ok. Show me."
09[21:21] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf moves to an edge and fires a long continuous beam over the edge at the tank.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <John> CHEATER.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* John drives to the side to avoid it.
[21:22] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja drops down to the roof and slams her hand down into the rooftop, sending a horrendous burst of wind outward from the center toward Wolf-- knocking herself back into the stairway door
[21:22] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes the gun, setting the shell down. He points it towards Sally and starts firing randomally
15[21:22] * 13Sardis emerges at the top of the building, closing the door quitly. he stays low, staying covered as he serpentines towards Wolf's position
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* The wind would knock Wolf's gun away, and knock her down. She's out of this fight for now.
[21:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> HAH! See? 6He hands the pistol to Marcus
09[21:22] <13@Jennifer`> * As Wolf flies she hits a trigger, causing the doorway Sardis is entering and Freyja is flying back into it explode.
[21:23] <13@Marcus> Dude that was all Freyja.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Uh, I said the gun went flying away.
09[21:23] <13@Jennifer`> * Trigger as in detonator.
[21:23] <13Dias`> <Dias> You can't prove that.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Carry on
[21:23] <13@Marcus> Fair enough. *he holds out his hand for the gun back*
15[21:23] * 13Dias` gives it to him then put shis foot on the shell, to keep it from rollign away
15[21:24] * 13Sardis is sent hurtling forward by the explosion. rolling across the rooftops out of controll as debris and fire rain down to the sides. He pulls himelf up, smiling "Oh I'm going to enjoy this.. "
[21:25] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja, redirected by the explosion, slams into Sardis from behind.
09[21:25] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf is otherwise, as stated, out of the fight.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Wolf has fallen down a few floors into a stairway, and is unconscious.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> ... be okay, Freyja.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well, lets hope nothing else bad happens today.
[21:26] <13Dias`> <Dias> Define bad.
15[21:26] * 13Sardis spins quickly, grabbing Freyja out of the air rather roughly, annoyed. She stops abruptly, possibly painfully.
[21:26] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos glances around. "More trouble."
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh. You know. Like an army of Weapons.... 6* Up ahead, Weapons II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII are gathered.
[21:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Like an army of weapons...6He looks ahead. 1"Fuck."
[21:27] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> ...Geh.. careless.." 6She laughs softly, not moving much after hitting Sardis. 1"...last time... a fox chases a hound. Smart bitch."
[21:27] <13@Myria> You just had to say it, didn't you?
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's not my fault! It's not my fault!
15[21:27] * 13@Marcus glances up eyeing the weapons. "Oh wow. This is bad. Really bad."
[21:28] <13Dias`> <Dias> This is...Yeah, this is going to be bad. Theron 6he looks at him.
[21:28] <13@Marcus> * Theron holds up the rifle, nodding.
[21:28] <13@Marcus> Wait. What if he ripple it to us?
[21:28] <13Dias`> 6Dias grunts as he lifts up the shell and moves to the back of the tank
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* John begins to drive to the right down an opposite street.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh...heh...could use...Chii now...
15[21:28] * 13Sardis rolls his eyes, moving towards the Wolf's last seen position, holding Freyja like a human sheild
[21:28] <13Dias`> <Dias> Thanks for the vote of confidence Cheryl.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing personal, but I saw you in that group. And he looks menaer.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> *mener
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> *MEANER
[21:29] <13Dias`> <Dias> I can be mean.
[21:29] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja provides as much cover as a passed out later teenage girl can.
[21:29] <13@Marcus> Sure you can, man. Sure.
[21:29] <13Dias`> 6Dias grumbles. 1"Piss me off once and I'll show you mean.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The weapons begin to move after them to attack
15[21:30] * 13@Marcus waves a hand. "Distraction Time."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> Tch. I'll handle this. Everyone off the tank and run for it
[21:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oi oi oi. 6He starts running forward then hurls the shell ahead back the way they came.
[21:30] <13@Marcus> No offense John. But you can't take them.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <John> Then stay on the tank as I blow it up
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns the tank back at the Weapons
[21:31] <13@Marcus> Right. Gotcha. *he shifts to hop off of the tank. So does Xanatos.*
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets off the tank
[21:31] <13@Myria> Be careful, Mr. John. *hops off and hits the ground running*
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets off.
[21:31] <13Dias`> 6Dias leaps off, eyeing the shell. 1"Hey Theron...You gonna?"
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ripple holds up a hand, rippling the shell back at the tank
[21:31] <13@Marcus> * Theron aims and fires the grenade to cause the shell to explode, so that it'll keep them distracted from John.
[21:31] <13@Marcus> * Theron, jumping off the tank.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shell comes flying back onto the tank and lands.
[21:32] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Well there goes that bunker buster.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron's grenade then goes through the ripple onto the tank
15[21:32] * 13Sardis peers down the stairwell as he tracks wolf. he continues holding Freyja like a sheild as he retreives a pistol, firing a single shot at wolf's head.
[21:32] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> John...get off the tank!
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Wolf is killed.
[21:32] <13@Marcus> * Theron widens his eyes. "Oh dear."
[21:32] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes go wide and he shoves the shell away and ducks
15[21:33] * 13Sardis moves down to salvage her weaponry
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Weapons pause as the tank keeps coming at them, and they scatter. The tank epxlodes in a huge fireball, throwing Weapons about
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tank continues to explode from all the shells insdie
[21:33] <13Dias`> 6Dias winces. 1"John..."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin holds up his hand, then begins to run away for the base, his back bleeding
15[21:34] * 13@Marcus widens his eyes, dropping his mouth open.
[21:34] <13@Marcus> * Theron winces, closing his eyes slightly, murming something as he turns to move after Paladin.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin taps his comm. "Sardis. Freyja. Teleport to my position."
[21:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias gives the tank the superhero salute and moves after the others.
[21:34] <13@Myria> M...Mr. John...
[21:34] <13@Marcus> <Theron> Myria. There is no time.
[21:35] <13@Marcus> * Xanatos makes a Tch sound and turns to follow Paladin.
15[21:35] * 13@Marcus shakes his head moving with Dias.
[21:35] <13@Myria> Y...yes. *turns and moves after Paladin*
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* After a bit, when they're far enough away, Cheryl falls to her knees
15[21:37] * 13Sardis glances at the comm, shaking Freyja, moving her to a less compromising position as he does so. " Wakey wakey- The General needs us and I need you- so get a move on it! "
15[21:37] * 13@Marcus kneels beside her. "Cheryl? Climb on my back."
[21:37] <13Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop next to her. 1"Cheryl?" 6Blood can be seen all over the back of his shirt
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Marcus and Dias suddenly rise up and slam into a building
[21:37] <13Dias`> 6Dias howls out in pain as he hits the building
15[21:38] * 13@Marcus grunts loudly, a slight scream even, as his back was already injured.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin whirls around to come face to face with Erevis
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws Paladin through the air mentaly.
[21:38] <13@Marcus> * Xanatos glances around quickly. "Where ar-There's my girl." He eyes Erevis and begins to step forward.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at him dangerously. There's a device on her temple, blinking.
[21:38] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja is quite unreceptive to Sardis, bleeding from several head wounds and numerous scrapes-- her ceremonial garb sliced and diced from bits of door and explosion.
[21:38] <13@Marcus> * Theron shifts to aim at Erevis, tilting his head.
[21:38] <13@Myria> Hey...that device...its like the ones the Dark one-allied government used in our reality.
[21:39] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos holds up his hands. "What are you orders?"
[21:39] <13@Marcus> <Theron> I believe if we remove it, we will kill her.
[21:39] <13Dias`> 6Dias groans as he tries to stand up
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs Xanatos mentally by the throat, ala Vader. "To destroy the President's enemies."
[21:39] <13@Myria> Well, make her brain dead, actually.
[21:40] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos gasps, clutching at invisible hands. "The..then...you're...making...a mistake."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
[21:40] <13@Marcus> <Theron> I still do not believe that is advisable.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not make mistakes
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tosses him away
15[21:40] * 13Sardis groans, carrying Freyja back up the flight of stairs. He sits her beside the doorway, hefting Wolf's railgun as he makes his way over the rooftops to a vantage point to help the team
[21:40] <13Dias`> 6Dias winces as he stretches his back.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets to his feet.
[21:41] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos slides along the ground, rolling, attempting to get back to his feet, he coughs, gasping for air. "Why do you serve the President?"
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ...
[21:41] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> You, red, you have more power than a feeble man like him. So why?
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "Yes. You are correct." 6* She mentally yanks the device off, wincing in pain
[21:42] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos winces along with her, since that looked painful and cautiously steps forward.
[21:42] <13Dias`> No, I'm good don't worry about us over here. 6He moves to help Marcus up
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis' temple bleeds pretty bad and she falls to her knees. "I will kill him. When I regain my strength."
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up.
15[21:43] * 13@Marcus slowly pushes himself up. "I'm good." he shakes his head, his back also bloody. "Damn that Cass."
15[21:43] * 13Dias` scoffs at Marcus and starts moving back to the group
[21:43] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos nods his head. "Let me help you, then." He rips off a piece of the jumpsuit to reach it out to wrap her head.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We have to continue
[21:44] <13@Marcus> * Theron nods. "Understood."
[21:44] <13@Megumi> 6Sardis would appear beside Paladin.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevies eyes him, but doesn't stop him.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Sardis, then looks for Freyja
[21:44] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja wobbles out from behind Sardis, laughing giggily.
[21:44] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos wraps her temple, gazing at her closely. "Then you will let these folks pass? If only to beat down his defenses for you later?"
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs in relief, moving over. "Here. You're hurt. Let me carry you." 6* He picks her up in his arms, despite his injuries.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I intend to. I remember them.
15[21:45] * 13Sardis blinks, Railgun in hand, charging rifle across his back. He glances at Freyja " So you came to afterall. "
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Go. Weaken him for me.
[21:45] <13@Myria> We need to get moving again before they find us.
[21:45] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Yup! ..." 6She squints at him, as if scowling, then laughs merrily. 1"Your heart's like a raisin."
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves on. Cheryl moves onward herself.
[21:46] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos nods. "Sure thing, red. I'll make sure you have the final say in his life." He gives her a half smile and stands, moving to step around her.
[21:46] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves off with the others.
[21:46] <13@Marcus> * Theron moves forward, so does Marcus.
15[21:46] * 13@Myria moves onward.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> Location: Secret Base J
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The others have gathered in an abandoned strip bar, where Zephyr remains in critical.
09[21:47] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela continues to do everything she can to keep Zephyr stable, hoping the girl's body will work on repairing itself soon enough.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans against a stripper pole, watching Jen.
[21:48] <13@Marcus> * Kane stands over Sera's back watching her work, probably evaluating her, or learning himself.
15[21:48] * 13@Jennifer` sits beside SPoC, having not let go since the team parted ways.
[21:48] <13Dias`> 6SPoC sits there, her face somber, or she's brain dead from lack of air
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* A grenade drops down on top of Zephyr.
[21:49] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane jerks and attempts to kick around to knock it off.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade is knocked away ,but explodes a few feet away, sending the three flying
09[21:49] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela grabs at Zephyr and pulls her away at the same time.
[21:49] <13@Marcus> * Kane lets out a cry, flying back.
15[21:49] * 13@Jennifer` looks up slowly.
[21:49] <13Dias`> 6SPoC jerks towards at the commotion, her gun raising up as she glances around
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina's eyes widen and she gets to her feet, grabbing her energy sword. As they go flying, William Spade, now like Two-Face, lands on the ground.
[21:50] <13Dias`> Jennifer. I need you to take cover.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* He rises with an energy sword in one hand, and a gun in the other
03[21:50] * Dias` is now known as SPoC
15[21:50] * 13@Jennifer` nods and rushes to take cover.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Run, run, while you can. You'll die like your mother. Begging.
09[21:50] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela hits the ground with Zephyr in her arms, struggling to pull out a gun.
15[21:50] * 13@Jennifer` stops, slowly turning to face him.
[21:50] <13SPoC> You will not talk to Jennifer that way. 6She aims her gun at him.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Do you want to know what your mother was thinking while she died? What her last thoughts were? 'Why did her daughter abandon her to this fate'?
15[21:51] * 13SPoC fires a shot at Spade's chest.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges easily. Katrina glares. <Katrina> You're a bastard.
15[21:51] * 13@Jennifer` clenches her fist slowly. "Sh-Shut up..."
15[21:52] * 13SPoC shifts her aim, firing at him again.
[21:52] <13@Marcus> * Kane rolls along the ground, slowly pushing himself up. "Angela. Focus on Zephyr." He barks, he's burnt slightly and his eyes are wet, like the pain almost has him in tears.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Jennifer. Jennifer. Why did you betray me? And as she thought this, she begged you to come back and save her
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade dodges the shot by stepping to the side
09[21:52] <13@Jennifer`> * Angela nods as she starts to work on Zephyr again.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina grips her sword, getting angry herself.
15[21:53] * 13@Jennifer` trembles. "SH-SHUT UP!"
15[21:53] * 13SPoC slowly pulls out a combat knife as she takes several steps to the side
[21:53] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane shifts to pull up a pistol with his left hand, pulling up a knife in the other hand, taking a step forward. Wiping at his eyes with the side of his arm.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> She didn't die quickly. The blood pooled from her throat slowly, and she tried to breathe like a fish out of water, Jennifer.
15[21:54] * 13SPoC fires two quick shots at Spade.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade deflects them with his sword, timing each swing to hit each shot perfectly. Katrina dashes in
[21:54] <13@Marcus> You are pathetic, William Spade.
[21:54] <13@Marcus> NRP: Kane*
15[21:54] * 13@Jennifer` shakes more, staring a little. "S-Stop it!"
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Are you going to stand there, Jennifer Carmichael? Stand there and do nothing? It's all your future holds. Doing nothing. Letting others act for you
[21:54] <13SPoC> Ignore him Jennifer. 6She watches Kat, waiting.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina swings at him, and he parries. She pushes against his sword.
15[21:55] * 13SPoC spins the knife in her hand and shes starts moving in on Kat and Spade
09[21:55] <13@Jennifer`> "Y-You're a monster..."
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade knocks KAtrina loose, and grabs her in a headlock, holding the gun to her temple
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Lets see how much your mind can take, Jennifer, before it breaks completely.
15[21:56] * 13SPoC stops.
[21:56] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane widens his eyes.
09[21:57] <13@Jennifer`> * jennifer's eyes grow cold, she shifts to face him fully, in the same motion her hand sweeps through the pouch at her side and produces the gun Warren gave her.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Yes. Shoot at me, Jennifer.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Stop me.
15[21:57] * 13SPoC quickly looks back at Jennifer, her eye going wide.
[21:57] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane narrows his eyes. "If you do this Jennifer, he will put Katrina in the way."
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> .... 6* She tenses.
[21:57] <13SPoC> Do not shoot at him.
15[21:58] * 13@Jennifer` aims the gun at him, trembling as she glares in rage at her mother's killer.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> If you pull the trigger, you can kill the man who killed your mother.
[21:58] <13SPoC> If you shoot, you will undoubtedly kill Katrina.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> ... ... Jennifer.... 6* She says, but winces as Spade's arm digs into her throat tighter.
[21:59] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane is tense, eyeing Kane, looking for a blind spot, depite knowing Spade doesn't have a blind spot.
[21:59] <13@Marcus> NRP: Spade*
15[22:00] * 13@Jennifer` keeps moving the gun, away from him slowly. "Kill her muderer... huh...?"
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> ...
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> If you don't take the shot, I'll kill the woman
15[22:01] * 13@Jennifer` aims the gun at herself.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Jennifer! 6* She croaks
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> ... 6* He smiles slowly
15[22:01] * 13SPoC eyes go wider. 1"Jennifer?"
[22:02] <13@Marcus> * Kane shakes his head, "Damnit." He slides his hand down to his datapad, trying to work up a diversion.
09[22:02] <13@Jennifer`> "Yeah... I'll bring justice alright..."
[22:02] <13SPoC> Do not do this Jennifer. 6She takes a step towards her
09[22:03] <13@Jennifer`> Angela> "This is fucked up..."
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <Spade> Can you really pull that trigger, child?
[22:04] <13SPoC> Jennifer, you did not kill your mother.
09[22:04] <13@Jennifer`> "Can I...? Everyone's so quick to kill... it's so easy right...?"
15[22:05] * 13SPoC starts to move towards Jennifer. 1"Jennifer, listen to my voice."
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade tilts his head as a van comes crashing through the wall. He goes to yank Katrina with him, when suddenly his arm is jerked off. His eyes widen, as Katrina spins with her sword to try to drive it into him, but he dodges, leaping back.
[22:06] <13@Marcus> * Kane pulls up his pistol quickly, firing constantly towards the position Spade is falling back too.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade swings his sword to deflect the shots.
15[22:06] * 13@Jennifer` puts the gun away from her head and stands there, watching.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves around, swinging at him. He parries with the gun
15[22:07] * 13SPoC puts her arms around her, hugging her
15[22:07] * 13@Jennifer` pulls the trigger, the gun clicking noiselessly, the energy cell unloaded from it.
[22:08] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane shifts, making a face. Shifting to move in toward Kat and Spade.
[22:08] <13SPoC> Please do not scare me like that.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade slides back
09[22:09] <13@Jennifer`> "Sorry..." *she pulls out the cartridge, loading it*
15[22:09] * 13SPoC lets her go. 1"Please stay here while we take care of that man."
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina swings in at Spade, who parries it.
15[22:09] * 13@Jennifer` nods slowly.
[22:09] <13@Marcus> * Kane fires two shots as he comes forward, for Spade's shoulder, away from Kat.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade leans back to avoid them.
15[22:10] * 13SPoC nods and turns, moving in towards the three
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina twists and slashes at him, cutting him along the side as he dodges a second too late.
15[22:10] * 13@Jennifer` watches quietly, her eyes narrowing as she charges the gun slowly.
[22:11] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane twists around, slashing out for Spade's right side, the side he is on.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade parries, barely.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina swings at him, and he uses his gun to stop her
15[22:11] * 13SPoC moves in on Kat's left side and swings her combat knife for her side.
[22:11] <13SPoC> NRP: HIs
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade is stabbed in teh side
[22:11] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane pulls up his pistol and fires another shot for his right shoulder, pressing against the parry.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* He's then shot, spinning
15[22:12] * 13@Jennifer` raises her arm and fires a shot herself as he spins, right at the clear space she sees for his head.
14[22:12] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade is shot along the side of the head and he falls back, bleeding profusely as he falls.
15[22:13] * 13SPoC swings her gun in and fires a shot as he falls.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Spade lands, eyeing Jennifer as he dies. "Heh...hah...your mother...was still alive...on that platform. IT means---your friends killed her--6* He's shot again and gives off a death rattle
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina spins and removes his head in a clean swipe, just in case.
[22:14] <13@Marcus> 6* Kane goes to stab again and pauses, taking a step back. He makes a tch sound and moves over to kneel beside Angela, grabbing her med kit to use some of the extra to treat his and her minor wounds.
15[22:14] * 13@Jennifer` walks over and points her gun at him, she watches Katrina finish the job. "..."
15[22:14] * 13SPoC moves her hand to Jen's gun, putting it on it.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina breathes heavily
15[22:15] * 13@Jennifer` is still aiming at where his head was, trembling.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's over, Jen.
15[22:15] * 13SPoC pushes the gun to the ground
15[22:15] * 13@Jennifer` closes her eyes and lets out a battered sigh.
09[22:16] <13@Jennifer`> "I'm sorry... about before... had to keep him from hurting you."
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm okay, honey.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives her a hug
15[22:16] * 13@Jennifer` doesn't seem to respond, except for a loss of tension.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> Location: Mega City Highway
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The group continues on toward the base, arriving at the outer gates, which are cleared of soldiers
[22:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> I smell a trap.
[22:17] <13Sardis> Naturally.
[22:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Well than let's go trip it. 6He takes a step forward
03[22:18] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her head suddenly, screaming
[22:18] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos glances around slightly. "You lead the way then, ponch."
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns, still holding Freyja
[22:18] <13SPoC> 6Dias jerks to look at Cheryl. 1"Cheryl..."
15[22:18] * 13@Marcus pauses and glances at Cheryl. "Fuck, are they uh, hacking...the bond?"
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cherly> C-Chii...s-s-stop this...6* She falls to her knees.
[22:19] <13SPoC> 6Dias clicks his tongue. 1"That's it, I'm going to find her and knock her out. 6He looks at Paladin quickly
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She twitches, clearly trying to resist something
[22:20] <13@Megumi> 6Chii steps between the main gate's entry, cracking her neck. She's wearing a tact suit similar to Cheryl's, if not her's. 1"Eh, I suck at hacking."
[22:20] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Well that makes things easier. 6He wiggles his hands as he eyes her.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Chii! Stop this! We're your friends!
15[22:21] * 13@Marcus makes a face and tchs. "Chii." He frowns.
[22:21] <13Sardis> And here comes the bitch in question. Someone tell me- Is this our Chii or their Chii?
[22:21] <13@Myria> I don't know...
[22:21] <13@Megumi> 6Chii squints, like she has a headache. 1"Uh-huh. So you're the little miscreants pissing off the uppers.."
[22:21] <13SPoC> 6Dias starts stretching his legs. 1"Permission to knock her out."
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Lets see if we can talk her down. Chii. We're your teammates. Look at us.
[22:22] <13@Marcus> <Theron> It is our Chii. *he notes like it should be obvious*
[22:22] <13@Megumi> <Chii> I'm looking.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yells out. "CHII!!!"
[22:22] <13SPoC> <Dias> Than I'll use this time to recover. 6He pulls the bottle of whiskey from his pocket and cracks it open, taking a drink from it
[22:22] <13@Megumi> 6Chii flinches, holding her hands up to her ears, annoyed. 1"Hey. You're not listening to me, so why should you be yelling at me?"
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Y-You said you'd never try to control m-me.
[22:23] <13@Megumi> <Chii> Don't talk like you're Cherry.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit, I AM!
15[22:23] * 13@Marcus stands up, by Cheryl. "And she is dying, Chii. She needs you."
[22:23] <13@Megumi> 6Chii sneers. 1"IF you were Cherry, you wouldn't resist so much."
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* Gets to her feet slowly, trembling from the effort. "Don't. Make. Me. Regret. Trusting. You."
[22:24] <13@Megumi> <Chii> You share the same wavelength, I know about it. You can't... fool me so easily.
[22:24] <13SPoC> 6Dias slides the whiskey into his pocket. 1"Clear your head Chii."
[22:24] <13@Marcus> We're your friends, your family. Why would pretend to be otherwise?
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're saying you can't tell me apart from some fake?! THAT ALL OUR TIME WAS MEANINGLESS? I put on a goddamn dress. 6* Paladin stares, not getting that revelation
[22:25] <13@Myria> Theron...this moment is urreal somehow...
15[22:25] * 13@Marcus scratches his nose, glancing at Cheryl.
[22:25] <13SPoC> <Dias> ....A dress? 6He looks back at Cheryl
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> S-Shut up.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Freyja. Can you reach her?
[22:25] <13@Megumi> 6Chii blinks a few times, frowning, twitching. She peers upwards, like she does sometimes when communicating with Cheryl from afar-- probably doing the same.
[22:26] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> ...Depends on what you mean." 6She winces, a hand on the side of her head.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls, trying to get Chii to recognize her.
[22:26] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Show her you boobs.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> She should know you, right?
[22:26] <13@Marcus> ...it's worth a shot.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares at them, her body still jerking
[22:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> What?! It might snap her out of it.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Cheryl steps out, wrapping her arms around Chii from behind, almost seductively
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Alternate Cheryl> Don't listen to them, Chii.
[22:27] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos just eyes all of this impatiently, glancing at the new Cheryl.
15[22:27] * 13@Marcus groans. "Dude, this Cheryl is such a skank."
[22:27] <13@Megumi> 6Chii scowls, twitching just a little as she's held. 1"...Because they're the enemies, right..?"
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <A Cheryl> That's right
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit, Chii, are you telling me you can't tell who-I-am?!
[22:27] <13SPoC> 6Dias turns to look at A Cheryl. 1"I'm getting antsy Paladin."
[22:28] <13@Marcus> You might ruin our chances, Dias.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> If we use force, it might backfire - she'd believe we are the enemies.
[22:28] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> Heart's in chaos... but still her. You said the bond was different, right? A psychic link?
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> It should be, yes.
[22:29] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah yeah yeah. 6He crosses his arms, clearly annoyed.
[22:29] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> I can't do anything about that... It's hard enough to protect myself from things like that.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <A Cheryl> Chii... 6* She whispers in her ear. "If you take control of her, I'll reward you." 6* Her expression looks completely uninterested in doing that, but since she's behind Chii, Chii wouldn't see it
15[22:29] * 13@Marcus snorts and laughs. "Like Cheryl would ever try to seduce, Chii."
[22:30] <13@Megumi> <Chii> I love it when she does.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <A Cheryl> She loves it...very much... 6 *She eyes Cheryl
[22:30] <13@Megumi> 6Chii shifts a bit. 1"... ...Yeah... okay. She's just a ...fake, anyway."
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait--you two...what did you two do...?
[22:30] <13SPoC> <Dias> Uh oh.
15[22:30] * 13@Marcus frowns. "Fuck."
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to laugh, throwing her head back.
[22:31] <13SPoC> 6Dias takes one giant step back. 1"Hell have no fury, like a woman scorned for...a woman?
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Cheryl, recognizing those signs.
15[22:31] * 13Sardis moves to the side, out of the way of imminent doom
[22:31] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja winces. 1"...On fire... again."
15[22:31] * 13@Marcus puts a hand to his face. "Fuck. Fuck."
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... well hell. My heart is about to explode anyway. Lets...6* She forms her whip. "Play."
[22:31] <13@Myria> Uh-oh... *backs away*
[22:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> That's in. I'm in. 6He stomps his foot and dashes in towards Chii and Cheryl
[22:31] <13@Marcus> Cheryl. Don't do this. Cheryl. Please don't do this.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in despite this, coming in behind Dias.
[22:32] <13@Megumi> <Chii> Eh.. I'm not supposed to fight you." 6She closes her eyes. 1"...I'm supposed... to ... ...to... lead you astray."
15[22:32] * 13@Marcus lets out a breath. "Fuuuuck." He shifts and dashes after them.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Dammit. Dammit.
[22:33] <13SPoC> 6Dias flips forward, planting his hands on the ground, his feet held upwards towards their Cheryl.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps onto his feet, leaping over Chii, flipping and grabbing the Alternate Cheryl with her whip
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* She yanks her along as she slides along the ground once landing, and begins to swing her into the ground
[22:34] <13SPoC> 6Dias flips forward and onto his feet, moving around Chii.
15[22:34] * 13@Marcus comes dashing along, around the opposite side of Chii.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Cheryl grabs the whip and swings Cheryl around with her own whip, snearing. It's clear who's stronger, as she begins to slam her into the ground
[22:34] <13@Megumi> 6Chii whirls around, coiling her around the whip and yanking its momentum away, moving in quickly, but interrupted by Dias, shifting to backpeddle, narrowing her eyes at him. 1"I don't have time for you."
[22:34] <13@Megumi> <Chii> You make it hard to concentrate...
[22:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias kicks off, leaping towards Alt Cheryl.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates her whip, wobbleling to her feet, bloodied.
[22:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias twists mid-air and throws a kick out with all his strength at Alt. Cheryls side
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* A man leaps down into Dias' kick, piledriving him.
[22:36] <13SPoC> 6Dias hits the ground, howling out in pain
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man flips off, sliding along in a trench coat. Phaeton eyes him, shaking his finger at Dias
15[22:36] * 13@Marcus shifts forward to strait up tackle Alt. Cheryl, his body shifting that of his wolf form.
[22:36] <13SPoC> 6Dias grimaces as he struggles to push himself up.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye Phaeton, and she freezes, knocked out of her berserker mode.
[22:37] <13@Megumi> 6Chii twists, swiping her coil her wire about Marcus' feet, stabbing a kunai into her end and into the ground.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton fires a blast in front of Marcus, that he'll collide into if he doesn't stop - or rips free of Chii's tactic.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Phaeton> Hello, Cheryl. 6* He walks past his own, toward the real one. "Miss me?"
[22:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> That...Was unfair. 6He grabs his shirt, pulling it off.
[22:37] <13@Megumi> 6Chii, either way, pauses, glancing at Phaeton with wonderous eyes.
15[22:38] * 13@Marcus slams his claws into the ground to catch himself as he's tripped up, jerking to pull his legs up and pull his feet free.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl backs away, tensing.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl activates her whip to slam into Marcus
[22:38] <13SPoC> 6Dias tosses the shirt to the side and he turns to eyes Phaeton. 1"I'd step away from her.
[22:38] <13@Megumi> <Chii> ...Cherry, why's... he here?
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Alternate Cheryl> Do not mind him. Focus on your task while her mental guard is down!
[22:38] <13@Megumi> <Chii> ... But he..
[22:39] <13SPoC> 6Dias starts moving towards Phaeton now, albeit slower
[22:39] <13@Marcus> * Theron aims and fires a shot for Alt. Cheryl.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Team, take out Phaeton and that Alternate Cheryl."
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Alternate Cheryl> DO IT
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl whips Marcus, but is shot
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl backs against the wall as Phaeton approaches, ignoring Dias
15[22:39] * 13Sardis fires a blast from Wolf's salvaged railgun at Phaeton from the background
[22:39] <13@Megumi> 6Chii winces, scolded, then begins to track over beside Phaeton
15[22:39] * 13@Marcus was pulling his legs free so he's lashed across the back and lets out a howl.
[22:40] <13@Marcus> * Theron steps forward now that Paladin has ordered it, firing a burst at Alt. Cheryl again.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Phaeton> ... 6* He holds his hand, using Chii, somehow connected through the bond to her. Cheryl falls to her knees, but he suddenly dodges the shot, losing his grip on her
[22:40] <13SPoC> 6Dias takes a deep breath and dashes in at Phaeton, moving in to bullrush him
15[22:40] * 13@Myria forms a light blade and then circles around the Alt Cheryl.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl snarls, ddoging the shots. "Chii. We need to form a Gear."
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton is bullrushed by Dias, since he dodged Sardis
15[22:41] * 13@Marcus pulls himself free and lifts himself up, dashing towards Cheryl again.
[22:41] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs onto him and aims to drive him into the wall of the building
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces, grabbing her chest in pain, coughing up blod
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> *Blood
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton howls as he collides with the wall
[22:41] <13@Megumi> 6Chii eyes the alternate Cheryl and nods. 1"Alright."
[22:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> I told you to leave her alone. 6He plants his foot against the wall and tries to suplex him onto the pavement
[22:41] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos peers over Chii's shoulder. "Hey look, they one is defective. Nice choice, picking the better model."
[22:41] <13@Marcus> NRP: that*
15[22:42] * 13@Myria then darts forward, stabbing at Alt Cheryl with the light blade.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton drops a grenade at Dias' feet - he can make the move, but he'll go boom, too
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl spins to deflect the lightblade with the whip, reaching out to grab Chii
[22:42] <13SPoC> 6Dias let's go of Phaeton and twists to grab the grenade and hurl it away.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton lands and uppercuts at Dias' jaw
15[22:43] * 13@Marcus leaps forward to tackle Alt Cheryl away from Chii and Myria for that matter.
[22:43] <13SPoC> 6Dias' head snaps back from the uppercut, causing him to stumble backwards
[22:43] <13@Megumi> 6Chii actively moves to grasp Alternate Cheryl's hand.
15[22:43] * 13Sardis switches weapons, charging up Wolf's buster. He fires the full blast at the ground beneath Pheaton
[22:43] <13@Marcus> 6 *Xanatos jerks to grab Chii in a headlock. "Chill out, kiddo."
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl is tackled, but she holds onto Chii, pulling her with her. She works to form a Gear - on Marcus
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* And Xan, now
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* PHaeton is knocked up in the air by Sardis
[22:44] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos lets go quickly, backing up.
[22:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias twists and plants his hand on the ground as he wiggles his jaw. He eyes Cheryl quickly
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet.
[22:44] <13@Marcus> 6* Marcus's eyes flare and he kicks off with his hind legs to get some distance.
[22:44] <13@Myria> Uh?! *moves in, tossing an magnetic charge into the Chii/Alt Cheryl mass and thens runs away.
[22:44] <13@Megumi> 6Chii accepts the bond, but refuses the first movement, shifting them away from those Alternate Cheryl intends-- moving them around and shifting the gear body-- aiming to slam the full force of one of the gear's hands into Phaeton.
15[22:44] * 13Sardis charges the blast again, firing on Phaeton's descent at the wall behind him
[22:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> God he hits like a bitch.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton is punched by a fucking Gear.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Dragoon Gear is all black, reflecting A. Cheryl's heart
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as Phaeton gets pwned.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <A. Cheryl> <What are you doing?!>
[22:46] <13Sardis> Well that solves that problem.. but what about this one.
[22:46] <13@Megumi> 6Chii snarls, pouring her own touch of darkened claws into the effect.
[22:46] <13@Myria> Oh, maybe I won't have to detonate it afterall.
[22:46] <13@Megumi> <Chii> I saw your memories a long time ago! I'm not going to sit BY AND LET HIM NEAR YOU AGAIN!?
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear suddenly shatters and A. Cheryl lands on the ground
[22:46] <13@Megumi> 6Chii lands to her feet-- practice and all.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* She stands up, disoriented. "Phaeton... .... no...."
[22:46] <13SPoC> <Dias> Hey Cheryl...6He pauses looking over at them* 1"Huh...Nevermind."
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phaeton is a bloodied mass - clearly dead.
[22:47] <13@Megumi> 6Chii just kneels there, heaving, not from exertion but rather excited emotions.
[22:47] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos tilts his head, letting out a whistle. "Eeesh."
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl screams int othe air, clearly pissed
[22:47] <13@Myria> So...Chii was faking?
[22:47] <13@Megumi> ...Fa...king...?
15[22:47] * 13Sardis switches weapons, taking on on the wobbling alt Cheryl with the railgun " General? "
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* She grabs Chii by the throat. "YOU IDIOT. YOU IDIOT!!!"
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* She begins to squeeze.
[22:48] <13@Megumi> <Chii> ...Faking.. I wasn't... faking. I was... attacking the enemy. The en-- urk..!?
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> If you can hit her without hitting Chii
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, rushing forward.
[22:48] <13SPoC> 6Dias winces and moves after Cheryl
[22:48] <13@Marcus> <Theron> I would not suggest it at this moment. *he warns*
[22:48] <13@Megumi> 6Chii strains, grabbing at her wrist. 1"... He... hurt... y-you..." 6She chokes.
15[22:48] * 13Sardis fires an aimed shot at Alt Cheryl's head as she begins to squeeze Chii
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <A. Cheryl> I despise you. I'll break your neck, you pathetic, clinging little piece of shit.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* A. Cheryl is hit and goes flying, rolling along the ground.
[22:49] <13@Megumi> 6Chii widens her eyes, hacking. 1"...N-not... you're... not Cherry at all.."
[22:49] <13@Megumi> 6Chii drops, coughing, close to throwing up across the ground.
[22:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias stops, wincing at that.
15[22:49] * 13@Marcus steps up towards Chii, back to his human form. "Well, duh. What do you think we've been trying to tell you Chii?"
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl rises, only bleeding slightly from the head
[22:50] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos shakes his head. "Bitch can take a hit."
[22:50] <13Sardis> Impressive..
[22:50] <13@Megumi> 6Chii turns her head, eyeing Alternate Cheryl in a bit of confused fright, perhaps still slightly not understanding. 1"...Why..?"
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* A. Cheryl forms her whip. The real Cheryl sneers, moving in again. She swings her whip at her, and the other dodges.
[22:50] <13@Marcus> * Theron frowns and pulls up his rifle, firing a shot at her when she dodges.
[22:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias takes a deep breath and moves in after the two
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you hear the music? 6* She asks creepily.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl is hit.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Cheryl jerks froward, grabbing Cheryl, and teleports with her
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin comes to a stop, lowering his gun
[22:51] <13@Myria> Where did they go?!
[22:52] <13SPoC> 6Dias slides to a stop, his eyes darting around. 1"Where..." 6He suddenly jerks to Chii. 1"CHII FIND HER NOW!"
[22:52] <13@Megumi> <Freyja> ... I can take one person, if they're up to it.
15[22:52] * 13@Marcus jerks forward. "FUCK!"
[22:52] <13@Marcus> I'm sick of all this teleporting bullshit.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Marcus, then the base. "I say into there."
[22:53] <13SPoC> <Dias> Than that's where I'm going. 6He starts running towards the base.
[22:53] <13@Megumi> 6Chii blinks at Dias. 1"... I taught her... sorrow."
15[22:53] * 13@Marcus points at Chii. "If you really care for Cheryl. The real one. You'll wake the fuck up and come help us save her life." He turns and mvoes after Dias.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Freyja. "Conserve your energy. We might need it."
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves after the others, slower, since his back is hurting him
[22:53] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos sighs. "About time. Red is going to have my head if I don't get the job done." He moves off after them.
15[22:53] * 13@Myria moves forward toward the base.
[22:54] <13@Marcus> * Theron moves forward, quietly.
15[22:54] * 13Sardis stands from his kneeling position. He eyes Freyja, then moves after Paladin
[22:54] <13@Megumi> 6Freyja nods slowly, giving Chii a look before following him on foot.
[22:54] <13SPoC> 6Dias is clearly hurting, but the alcohol and his stubborness don't slow him down
[22:54] <13@Megumi> <Chii> ...She didn't hear the music at all... until now.
[22:55] <13@Megumi> 6Chii leans on a knee and pushes herself up, not up to running, but walking after the others.
15[22:55] * 13@Marcus has a blood soaked back, but he seems ok, probably the being in wolf form helped him out slightly.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The base doors are locked once they arrive
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias runs upto the doors and rams his shoulder into them
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door cracks slightly.
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias tenses up, his limp tremblign slightly as he takes several steps back
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <PAladin> Dias, step aside
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Sardis, shoot the door
[22:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> Y-Yeah. 6He steps aside, wincing now
15[22:57] * 13Sardis smirks, nodding, leveling Wolf's buster at the door as he begins to charge it up " From the forest itself comes the handle of the axe. " he releases the trigger.
15[22:58] * 13@Marcus groans. "Holy shit that was lame. We need to work on that smack talk stuff, man."
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door explodes open, pieces of metal flying around
[22:58] <13Sardis> I'm sorry, you were saying?
[22:59] <13@Marcus> I don't care what that gun could do. That was lame. *he says as he shakes his head, moving to walk through*
[22:59] <13SPoC> 6Dias rubs his shoulder as he steps in
[22:59] <13Sardis> Like I care about your opinions.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> ... 6* He puts a hand on Chii. "You with us, now?"
15[23:00] * 13@Marcus shrugs, "Like I care that you care." He snorts, laughing.
[23:00] <13@Megumi> <Chii> ...Yeah.." 6She hangs her head. 1"...But I have something to say."
[23:00] <13@Marcus> * Theron moves forward now. As does Xanatos.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> What's that?
[23:01] <13@Megumi> <Chii> I regret it. I hurt her. She may not be 'our' Cheryl. But she's... Cheryl. Unlike our's I don't think she knew what it felt like... and ...I just taught her. She's more dangerous than ever-- more ...sad, then ever.
[23:01] <13@Megumi> <Chii> I don't like it when she's sad.
[23:01] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Did you just fall in love with another Cheryl?
[23:01] <13@Marcus> Yeah it figures. *he shakes his head8
[23:01] <13SPoC> <Dias> God. It's like nobody can have Cheryl. 6He throws his arms, wincing in pain now
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once, moving into the base
[23:02] <13@Megumi> 6Chii blinks at the others. 1"...You guys... don't understand karma at all."
15[23:02] * 13@Myria moves forward into the base.
