01[20:01] <01@Jennifer> Timeline: DAY 32 CONTINUES! Late Evening.
01[20:01] <01@Jennifer> Location: Border of Jovian Territory
01[20:02] <01@Jennifer> * The camp has grown quiet as troops prepare to disembark, an hour earlier then the Commander urged for, the Dragoons appear to be talking in a circle as the Commander approaches the beds where the wounded we left to rest. Everyone has been healed up with the exception of Jennifer.
[20:03] <01Dias`> 6Dias sits quietly a bit off, his legs crossed and his eyes closed.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to be thinking quietly, eyes closed, lips curled a bit like Cheryl when annoyed
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole walks around the camp on his hands.
[20:04] <01@Kit> 6Chii flicks Lemon in the nose.
06[20:04] * 01@Jennifer lays with her eyes closed, back in a troubled sleep.
01[20:05] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sits writing quietly in his notebook, near the cots, he eyes the Commander as she looks around then speaks up.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sits near Jen, eyeing his datapad quietly.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes Chii, confused
01[20:06] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "We are going to begin our assault shortly. Dragoons Gabriella, Mykel, and Uriel will accompany the visitors on a ground mission, we keep them distracted why they engage the Nephilim. If all goes well, they will get their friend back, and we will end this war tonight."
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> * The Commander motions to the fields behind her, leading to the dark city, lit up with lights from the tall buildings. "Meet up and move out as soon as you're ready."
[20:08] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel listens quietly, her short term memory a little spotty, after one too many explosions to the head.
05[20:08] -Evenshade- *howls*
[20:08] <01@Kit> <Chii> Eh, I do that to Cherry when she does that, too.
04[20:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at Jennifer and pushes himself to his feet. Moving past Raquel as he moves out into the open, stopping to wait for the others.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole falls onto his back and grunts, laying there in the grass. He takes a moment before he nips up to his feet and looks around at the others.
01[20:10] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella approaches them, a large sword on her hip, the blade looks rusted and old, gears slowly move along one side of the blade like some odd clockwork device, the handle ending in a small crystal. She puts her hand on the blade gently and looks at them. "We've taken out the Ragnarok for this fight... I hope I can better protect you."
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Then we can go now?
[20:11] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gets up slowly and gathers her things, trying to mentally prepare herself when she's feeling disconnected from things.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X muses silently
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze, Mykel, and Uriel join them, as well as a tall woman with long red hair and a shorter man with messy blonde hair, a wierd grin on his face.
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes her quietly, rubbing his chin.
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "We should move as soon as possible... are you taking everyone with you?"
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Everyone who wants to come.
[20:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias opens his eyes finally and pushes himself up now. He makes his way to the others
[20:12] <01@Kit> 6Key waits for Dias, offering him a cold beer.
01[20:12] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby eyes them over quietly. Jennifer opens her eyes and moves to get up slowly, wincing. Raphael runs over to her and tries to get her to lay back down.
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole hops from one foot to the next. 1Ever heard of a kapow?
[20:12] <01@Kit> <Chii> Heard of a kappa?
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs and slumps, looking sad.
[20:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head to Key and he shifts his hands behind the back of his neck.
01[20:13] <01@Jennifer> * Mykel puts his arm around the woman, the short man looks about in an oddly shifty manner, his hands clenching and unclenching.
[20:13] <01@Kit> 6Key gets an annoyed look once more, and again goes around offering everyone but Dias one.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <X> Not now, Tsukiyomi.
01[20:13] <01@Jennifer> Man> "Can we go now? It's been too long. I wanna go now." * Uriel baps him on the head.
[20:13] <01@Kit> 6Key purses her lips and looks even angrier.
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> <kane> I assume you have a plan. 6He notes aloud now, to Gabriella.
[20:14] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel politely declines Tsuki's offer
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gives Key a stern look.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <X> Tsukiyomi.
[20:15] <01@Kit> 6Key turns away and crosses her arms, hrmphing.
01[20:15] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Yes, we will sneak in and attack the capital building. With luck Mephisto has not been used yet."
[20:15] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances at X now an eyebrow raised
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <X> No crab if you act like that.
[20:15] <01@Kit> 6Key gapes, then hangs her head, looking like she's going to cry.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <X> Be good, give crab.
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> Man> "Alright kid, let's move if you've got the plan already. I wanna go now." *he holds his head as Uriel baps him again*
[20:16] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at Lemon now. 1"You plan out who gets what?"
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds out 3 more crystals to Dias
06[20:16] * 01@Jennifer struggles as Raphael pushes her back down. "Not stayin behind..."
04[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Jennifer. 6He looks over towards her. 1You are.
[20:17] <01@Kit> 6Chii flexes her fingers, her armor on, wearing a circlet with her third crystal set in a crested piece similar to her gauntlets.
[20:17] <01Dias`> 6Dias takes them, absorbing two of them. He holds one out to X. 1"Just in case."
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <X> No thank you
[20:17] <01@Kit> <Key> I fight?
06[20:17] * 01@Jennifer looks over at him and freezes, then slouches and lays down, pouting. "I don't wanna sleep anymore." * Raphael eyes her. "Then I will keep you company. They will need us after the battle."
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and holds up a finger. 1Does anyone know what a krakoom is?
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <X> Yes, you can fight.
[20:18] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes her, then frowns slightly as he absorbs it. He looks over at Lemon. 1"Let's get going."
[20:18] <01@Kit> <Chii> Raccoon?
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ....I don't like you.
[20:18] <01@Kit> 6Chii jerks, then scowls at Cole.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes Cole
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You need to focus on getting better. You're no good to us dead. 6He looks back to Lemon and Gabriella. 1Let's go.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Lets begin, then. Please lead us to the capital building.
[20:19] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Mistress..
01[20:19] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella moves out into the field a little and stops, waiting for the rest, her eyes take on a blue glow as three lizard like creatures crawl up to join them. Many more take flight up into the sky and move with shuttles that circle around towards the east.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Lilith
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole move along.
[20:20] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Do you think it wise to take Tsukiyomichan?
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon follows along calmly.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <X> She's strong.
[20:20] <01Dias`> 6Dias starts moving along with the others.
06[20:20] * 01@Jennifer nods to Kane quietly, seeming perfectly ready to listen to him and lays back, closing her eyes. Raphael begins to tell her something. Cameron quietly follows the others, as do the other Dragoons.
[20:20] <01@Kit> 6Lilith eyes the girl hopping up and down ecstatically and then gives X a skeptical look
[20:20] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel idly checks her pistol, "...so... what are we expecting to encounter?"
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves to follow Dias
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> * The man clenches and unclenches his hands more as they walk, his movements seem lazy, his eyes keep scanning around as if looking for something, probably a target. Uriel just sighs silently and walks along beside him.
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> The same beings that beat us last time.
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "Nephilim. The Jovian's Seven Dragoons designed to conquer and kill."
01[20:21] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Six now, we got one Gabby."
[20:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts his outfit to look like it's normal tact suit.
[20:22] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Ah..."
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You feelin better kiddo? 6He leans down to Raquel's eye level, looking at her sideways.
01[20:22] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "I must apologize, we have been in a cease fire for four years until your arrival, we knew the Nephilim we planning to start something, it seems you simply gave them an excuse."
[20:23] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses a little, then nods. "My head hurts... and my memory is a little fuzzy, but I think I'm good otherwise."
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We apologize. It wasn't our intention.
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You sploded real nice. 6He gives her a smile and then straitens up.
01[20:23] <01@Jennifer> Man> "They don't need an excuse... not your problem... ohhh I want to see Mephi again." *he sounds hungered*
[20:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias raises a brow as he looks at Cole now
[20:24] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...hoping not to make that a trademark."
[20:24] <01Dias`> <Dias> You got caught off guard Raq, it happens.
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Once you get pegged as something it sticks with you. 6He notes with a nod.
01[20:24] <01@Jennifer> Uriel> We were all caught off guard. *she grumbles*
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out his datapad as he moves along quietly now.
[20:26] <01Dias`> <Dias> Did you figure out a way to block them, Kane?
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane now, too
[20:26] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I'll be better this time." *pauses* "...I'm sure someone else has the explosion niche filled anyways."
[20:27] <01@Kit> <Chii> So... you have this 'ragnarok' whatever the hell that is. Are you sure they don't have some 'ragnarok' of their own?
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No. There isn't anything to block.
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> * They walk along with the city nearing every more, when Gabriella suddenly stops, staring at the city. "My Betas have engaged the enemy Betas..."
[20:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias stops. 1"Guess that means I'll have to deal with them."
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> Mykel> "Yeah, we were expecting that, what's wrong?"
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> We should hurry.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah why are we stopping?
01[20:28] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "G-Get down!"
[20:28] <01@Kit> <Chii> Eh?
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He kneels.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks up
[20:28] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers around
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around. 1Uh. Why?
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, shifting down
[20:29] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks around for a threat, so she knows what to take cover from
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> * From the city, a light erupts, a large energy beam fires out at them, similar to a Dragoon Buster.
[20:29] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel drops for cover away from the energy beam of death
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> OH! That's why. 6He falls back onto his back.
[20:29] <01@Kit> 6Chii drops to the ground, Lilith grabbing Key and ducking down.
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> * Beam hits in 5
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> 4
[20:29] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes go wide. 1"Oh crap." 6He drops down
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> 3
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> 2
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* X kneels
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> 1
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> -0-
01[20:30] <01@Jennifer> * The Dragoons manage to leap out of the way in time, as the large beam sails past the team and causes the ground behind them to erupt violently.
[20:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias pushes himself up now, dusting dirt off him
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole nips around and squints to look forward.
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> NRP: up not around.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* X rises to her feet again; Lemon gets up, glancing behind them with a frown, then ahead
01[20:31] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella looks up where the beam came from, frowning slightly. Kaze dusts her off as the Dragoons and Cameron collect themselvs.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> They see us
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet, he coughs slightly then pulls his rifle up, taking aim to zoom in towards them, trying to get a sight.
[20:31] <01Dias`> <Dias> No point in sneaking in any more.
[20:31] <01@Kit> <Chii> Answers my question.
01[20:31] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "They know where we were coming from... we must run from here on."
[20:31] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...that's so over compensating."
01[20:32] <01@Jennifer> * Kane finds an empty rooftop.
[20:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> Than start running.
[20:32] <01@Kit> 6Chii takes off in a dash.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Gone. Skilled like Zephyr.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole bounces forward, breaking into a sprint.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves forward low and fast. X frowns, then opens ripples to step through
01[20:33] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella looks at them and nods, Mykel picks up the red head and blurs ahead of them, then Uriel, the man, Kaze, and Gabriella run.
[20:33] <01Dias`> 6Dias starts sprinting forward, not keeping low.
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shoulders the rifle and he dashes forward.
01[20:34] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "That was Azrael... how..."
01[20:34] <01@Jennifer> * As they near the city limits they come on a Gear fighting two other gears, this Dragoon Gear looks sleek and fast, it slices through one, opening a path for them into the city.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon follows said path
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole both move after Lemon.
[20:36] <01Dias`> 6Dias dashes along behind Kane and Cole.
01[20:36] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella and the remaining Dragoon move with them, as well as their pilots, as they enter the city streets, they come to a group of soldiers waiting with guns raised.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to slide back for cover.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and holds up his hands.
01[20:37] <01@Jennifer> Soldier> "That's as far as you go Ares Scum. No one gets past the 55th."
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> That mean there's 55 of you?
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind them and moves through it, if allowed
[20:38] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop, his eyes darting around.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses
01[20:38] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella stands there, Kaze beside her. The ripple works.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* X aims and fires a holy arrow at their backs.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <X> I Got past you
[20:39] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, moving past Cole and towards the 55th now
01[20:39] <01@Jennifer> * The soldiers don't see her at first until two go crashing down from her arrow attack, some turn and fire at her.
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up two pistols, kneeling around to fire towards them once they're disoriented. Making sure to take out the left-most as to not hit Dias.
01[20:39] <01@Jennifer> * The other soldiers open fire on Dias.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves hops to the side, opening a ripple to knock fire back at them
[20:39] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel takes cover and fires down at the ground, using ripples to rain holy blasts down on the men.
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole woots and leaps up into the air, aiming to come crashing down towards the group of soldiers.
[20:40] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks as he's clipped a couple times.
01[20:40] <01@Jennifer> * More soldiers fall to their own gunfire. Gabriella fires an energy blast at one trooper. Soldiers go flying under the might of Cole.
[20:40] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps in low, sweep kicking one.
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to use one as a big fleshy stick to hit another.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches the fighting
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks his time and then looks up towards the direction they're heading. Is there a specfic landmarker that can be seen?
01[20:41] <01@Jennifer> * Dias's soldier goes falling, Cole 'club many bad man with other bad man'. More still fall to Raquel's fire, soon the troops are decimated, one last falling under Kane's gunfire.
01[20:41] <01@Jennifer> * A single building rises above the others, a dark spire into the sky, a pretty notable landmark.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves ahead again, following Cheryl's ping
[20:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias stands up now, checking over X to make sure she's not injured then moves after Lemon
01[20:42] <01@Jennifer> * Lemon would ping her way up there somewhere.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows along
[20:43] <01Ariel> Raquel> *gets up and heads after Lemon* "...I wonder if those guys were supposed to be special..."
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms quietly and moves around the corner to walk forward, peering around at the others briefly to check their status. 1We have to hurry before backup arrives.
01[20:43] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron and the NPC batallion move along, Gabriella looking worried as they get further in.
[20:43] <01Dias`> <Dias> I doubt they were.
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> This was just the small fries kiddo. 6He drops his meat stick and moves forward.
01[20:44] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "Backup... won't be arriving... they've moved the bulk of their force to fight the Commander."
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Then it would be imperative for us to hurry, or else you won't have a commander to report back too.
[20:44] <01Ariel> Raquel> "They acted like they were... maybe they were covering for lack of confidence..."
01[20:44] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella doesn't sound happy about this as they move onto another street, getting closer to the building.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Big ego, little men. 6He says with a smile.
01[20:45] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "No... I believe Lilith has decided to sic her siblings on us personally. Uriel, be ready."
[20:45] <01@Kit> <Lilith> I have done no such thing..
01[20:45] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella looks at her in confusion.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <X> How insulting.
[20:45] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then we'll just have to take them down.
[20:45] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...Lilith has a sister?"
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I believe Lilith is the name of their enemy.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon keeps heading for the building
01[20:46] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "...I am speaking of another Lilith, the Omega of the Nephilim."
[20:46] <01@Kit> <Lilith> ...Oh yes. I forgot.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'll make her change her name
[20:46] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...oh." *almost disappointed*
[20:46] <01@Kit> <Lilith> It would be less confusing if we call her 'Omega.'" 6She notes.
01[20:47] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "In our mythos, Lilith was the first true Demon, a Succubus exiled from Eden. She was named due to this."
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole chuckles. 1Succubus.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <X> Our Lilith does not suck.
01[20:47] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella rubs her head.
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> No one said such a thing, X.
[20:47] <01@Kit> <Chii> The way I hear it she was the first woman, but since she did not obey Adam, he complained to God and had another made from one of his ribs.
01[20:48] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "Correct, the exiled woman then fell to Satan and became the Demon... the Nephilim were created before us as well."
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Women. They just can't listen to their men can they?
[20:48] <01@Kit> <Chii> Whatever you say. Personally I think it was just a hypocritical god and a typical man.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <X> They said "suc"ubus. I was clarifying our Lilith does not do that
[20:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> So a bad guy. Got it.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. Well then I agree.
[20:49] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I like my name. 'Spirit'. It's nice and simple and to the point, without all of the religious conjuncture..."
01[20:49] <01@Jennifer> Voice> "Such... pleasent conversation... such... interesting thoughts."
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I am named after hentai.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers about
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Unless you start talking about the 'Holy Spirit' and stuff.
[20:49] <01@Kit> <Chii> Heheheh.
[20:49] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...my holy powers are second hand."
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head, peering around quickly.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Sure sure. 6He smiles, through he looks around for the voice.
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> NRP: -r
[20:50] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to sense out the source of the voice, without being obvious about it
01[20:50] <01@Jennifer> * Standing on a window ledge four stories up and 50 feet away is a tall man with long white hair, and long, claw like hands in a white coat, he grins. "A pleasure to meet you all... pitiful soldiers of the Dragoon Cheryl."
01[20:50] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "Mephisto..."
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey nice hair.
[20:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> This a bad guy?
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> He reminds me of a video game character
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would say so, Dias.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the villain
01[20:51] <01@Jennifer> * He hops down to the ground, walking slowly across the street and in their way, gliding a hand over his sword. The man with them yet unnamed licks his lips, cracking his knuckles.
01[20:51] <01@Jennifer> Mephisto> "It was a pleasure eating her thoughts, I wonder if you will all taste as delectable..."
[20:52] <01Dias`> <Dias> Joy. 6He shifts his neck from side to side
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ooh Ooh. Me first. 6He steps forward and points to his head.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hea sfor the building again, not wasting time now
[20:52] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel gives Dias a small push forward, "...take him. I'm sure he's tastey."
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* X glares at Raquel
01[20:53] <01@Jennifer> * He licks the tips of his fingers, there's blood on them. He smiles softly. As Lemon moves he blurs forward and slashes at her with his claws.
[20:53] <01@Kit> <Chii> Should I take him out?
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon twists to avoid easily
[20:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias takes several steps forward then peers back at Raq. 1"Nice."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We should wait, Chii, until we get nearer to Cheryl
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> * he blurs back to where he was standing, holding out a hand as dark energy gathers in it. "Mistress Lilith sends her reguards... so she granted me clearance to use this..."
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> Gabriella> "Everyone, clear your minds."
[20:54] <01@Kit> <Chii> What do you mean, wait?
[20:54] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Gabriella now.
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and looks up at the sky.
[20:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias rotates his shoulder then leaps forward, throwing a dark beam right for Mephisto.
[20:54] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel goes to give Dias a small smile, but she turns to Mephisto when she sees him move at that speed.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We should let others fight him for now to save our energy. One of their people seems eager to fight
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances between them, then looks forward, trying to clear his mind, though it's hard with how analytical he is.
01[20:56] <01@Jennifer> * Mephisto blurs out of the way of the beam and shoves the ball of darkness into the ground. A dreadful, dark feeling washes over everyone, and he strikes, a psionic attack on their minds, anyone holding any fears or hatreds suddenly gets a splitting headache.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind the guy to redirect the dark beam at his side
01[20:56] <01@Jennifer> * Mephisto twists to the side, his coat and part of his side burned, but the attack continues.
[20:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias face tenses as he grabs his head in pain.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* X holds her head now
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers about, confused at everyone now
01[20:57] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron holds his head and cries out in pain. Uriel falls to her knee, the man holds his head but gets a meniacal look in his eyes, Kaze and Gabby stand there solidly.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and holds his head, falling to his knees.
[20:58] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel falls to the ground, cringing in pain. Proping herself up with one arm, she forms a dagger of pure death. Using a ripple, she attempts to stab Mephisto in the back.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at everyone and raises a pistol and to fire towards Mephisto.
01[20:58] <01@Jennifer> * Mephisto starts to laugh, then blinks, looking down at the dagger in his back. He stares at it then turns in time to get a bulelt through his head. He falls forward and the pain stops.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* X shakes her head a few times
[20:59] <01Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head now as it clears up.
01[20:59] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby looks over at Raquel, then Kane, then back at Mephisto.
[20:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> Kane the Dragoonslayer.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Is everyone okay?
01[20:59] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "That was... interesting."
[20:59] <01Dias`> <Dias> Like the worst hangover. 6He pushes himself up now.
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "We must hurry now... we are in trouble."
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face and holsters the pistol, eyeing the man.
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself to his feet. 1Buzzkill.
[21:00] <01@Kit> 6Chii shakes her head groaning, while Lilith just stares. 1"...Why were we not participating, again?"
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron picks himself up, the man looks dissapointed and pleased at the same time, he lifts up Uriel.
[21:00] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls herself to her feel slowly, letting the manifested dagger disolve. "...I... really didn't like him."
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves ahead for the building. "There are more of them."
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "He spoke of your friend, if that is true then her mind has been scanned."
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <X> Scanned?
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I assumed that was the case. 6He begins to move forward again.
[21:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> Yeah yeah. 6He rubs his face then pushes himself after Lemon.
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Brain scans and stuff. Find out what she knows. Who she is you know?
01[21:01] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby moves forward. "Mephisto uses those claws to press his hands into the brain and... well.. reads brainwaves directly."
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> <X> And this means?
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face and that. 1Cheryl's had hands in her head.
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> NRP: at*
01[21:01] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "They know about you, your technology, and whatever you are holding secret."
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> <X> Oh.
01[21:02] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "And Lilith knows how to break your friend."
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grinds his teeth as he moves forward.
[21:02] <01@Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6She starts looking angry.
[21:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> Terrific. Let's kill them and move on.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* X pats Lilith
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We should hurry. And by the way, call her Omega. Our lilith is nice and cute and stuff. 6He gives her a thumbs up and moves forward.
[21:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head again runs fast to keep up with Lemon
[21:03] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...yeah. Usually."
01[21:03] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "But... I am also an Omega."
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <X> Call her Evil Omega.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hasn't stopped. Still going. And stuff.
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Bitchmega. Yeah? Yeah?
[21:03] <01@Kit> 6Lilith stares at Cole now, head tilted.
[21:04] <01@Kit> 6Chii tags with Lemon.,
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Whatever you wish."
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> * As the group nears the front of the building they would find it abandoned, glass doors leading into a dark lobby.
[21:04] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Bitch...mega..."
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to open the doors
[21:04] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...why not just dispense with trying to hide it, and call her 'Mega Bitch'."
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane has his pistol back out as he moves, peering around cautiously.
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh snap. Done.
[21:05] <01Dias`> <Dias> Becareful Lemon.
[21:05] <01@Kit> 6Chii twitches an ear, trying to listen in
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella stops again and looks about. She frowns more now. "Azreal, Asmodeus, Lilith, and Morphaz remain..."
[21:05] <01@Kit> <Lilith> Of course I remain!" 6She hrmphs.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Gab, not liking her
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "I-I am sorry, habit... Evil Omega."
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> Uriel> "I just call her Bitch personally."
[21:06] <01Dias`> <Dias> Atleast inside they can't go into gear form.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> What's stopping them?
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <X> Unless they don't care about the building
[21:07] <01Dias`> <Dias> And risk tearing it down and everyone inside?
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "They do not care much for property or civilians."
[21:07] <01Ariel> Raquel> "Smashing through the building will slow them down at least..."
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <X> They are evil
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane. I would do it to kill my enemies, Dias.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> NRP: >
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves inside, peering about, looking for stairs
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> * There's stairs and an elevator.
[21:07] <01Dias`> <Dias> Makes sense. 6He steps in after Lemon, peering around with her
[21:07] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'll take the elevator.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She eyes Chii, then the elevator, then Chii
[21:08] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'll take the stairs. 6He starts moving for them
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves for the stairs. 1We should probably stick together.
[21:08] <01@Kit> <Chii> The elevator's obviously a trap, which is why we'd take the stairs, which is why they'd trap the stairs.
01[21:08] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby looks to Uriel. "You and Spyder should provide air support."
[21:08] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'll take the damn elevator.
[21:08] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...they're probally both trapped."
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon grabs her by the arm and pulls her after the others
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias sprints up the stairs now(?)
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows Dias
01[21:09] <01@Jennifer> * They nods and retreat. Leaving the list of allies down to Gabby and Kaze, Cameron taps his foot.
[21:09] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel heads for the stairs, since people are going that way
[21:09] <01@Kit> <Chii> Grrr...
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gives Chii "The look".
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole goes along with Raquel.
[21:09] <01@Kit> <Chii> *huff*
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves up the stairs.
01[21:10] <01@Jennifer> * The ping is about 22 stories up, where the gods live.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens ripples every 5 floors if not stopped
01[21:11] <01@Jennifer> * At Floor 10, they find a large wall of fire blocking the stairs.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X just tries to ripple to 15
[21:11] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes it, then forms seals and holds her hand out, forming a deluge of water to crash into. 1"Suiton!"
01[21:12] <01@Jennifer> * Flames come out the ripple, then stop, standing on the top of the 10th flight is a blonde girl with green streaks on her skin.
01[21:12] <01@Jennifer> Girl> "Oh Asmodeus... we have guests."
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes her ripple in thought
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head slightly and nods. 1Nice fire.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* She pokes a stick through
[21:13] <01@Kit> 6Chii just forms another seal and holds her hand out, electrifying the water for the girl. 1"Raiton. Rengeki da!"
[21:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias locks on to the girl and he dashes right at her.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds his pistol carefully, checking it over.
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> * The door in front of the girl bursts open as Dias nears her a familair, angry looking red skinned man pulls a punch for him.
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> * The girl is shocked for a moment, then floats up a little. She pants and glares at Chii.
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole points. 1Hey that angry looking red skinned man looks familiar.
[21:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias is hit and rolls to the side from the momentum
01[21:15] <01@Jennifer> * Asmodeus, the man who Kidnapped Cheryl, steps out and looms over Dias and acts as a wall which the girl hides behind.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* X switches a ripple to open behind the girl, firing an arrow through it at her, not going to 15 yet
[21:15] <01@Kit> 6Chii sprints out the side, yanking both guns out and firing a hail of bullets up into the air at her.
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> How do we stop him? 6He ask Gabby.
[21:16] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks up at Asmodeus as he starts to push himself up
01[21:16] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Light element, hurting him just makes him stronger."
01[21:16] <01@Jennifer> * Asmodeus takes the bullets, he starts to grin as he's shot.
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That doesn't answer my question.
[21:16] <01@Kit> <Chii> The only light element I can manage is a third tier ninpo. That'd take time.
[21:16] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, gathering holy energy in one hand
[21:17] <01Dias`> 6Dias rotates his neck now as he eyes Asmodeus. 1"That the best you got?"
01[21:17] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby holds down her hand and gathers light into it. "It's the best I can do. He regenerates fast and gains energy from the feeling of pain."
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* X waits to see if her arrow works
[21:18] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...how well does he regenerate?"
01[21:18] <01@Jennifer> * Asmodeus throws a punch at Dias, and stops a moment to stare as the girl dodges the light arrow, only to let it hit him.
01[21:18] <01@Jennifer> * Asmodeus looks stunned.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X smirks, then fires another through her ripple
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole hmms and attempt to teleport behind Asmodeus and fire woman. If he succeed he would try to give her a nice hug, his whole body generating electricity.
[21:18] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps back now.
[21:18] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel fires her charged holy arrow at Asmodeus' head
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns, there's not much he can do right now.
01[21:19] <01@Jennifer> * Asmodeus gasps a bit and stops moving, standing still as a statue, like he's lost all mobility. The girl cries out when Cole hugs her, then bursts into green flame, burning at Cole with intense heat.
01[21:19] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "He can't regenerate a head."
[21:20] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts around Asmodeus, ducking low. He swings his fist upwards to uppercut flame girl in the jaw.
[21:20] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and opens her ripple around the "statue"'s neck
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and falls back, shaking his arms and legs. 1Ow shit. Hot. Fuck. Ow. OW.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6*X aims at another area of Asmodeus' neck
[21:20] <01@Kit> 6Chii stops firing, wincing as people start getting into melee.
01[21:20] <01@Jennifer> * The girl falls back, Dias punches Asmodeus up into the ripples, he falls back, headless.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sneaks onward
01[21:21] <01@Jennifer> * The girl pulls herself up and runs through the door into the 10th floor.
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Let her go. 6He moves after Lemon.
[21:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> Forget her. 6He eyes thedead Asmodeus and starts moving for the stairs
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole frowns. 1But...my armor is all stupid looking now. 6He seems upset.
[21:22] <01@Kit> 6Chii eyes Lemon and turns to cover her.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves on
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sighs and being ignored and moves after them.
[21:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias sprints up the stairs now
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> NRP: at*
01[21:26] <01@Jennifer> * At the 22nd floor, the door way leads into a large hallway, at the end of which are two large double doors. In front of those doors is a mass of blackness, it floats there like a deadly gas waiting for them.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* X squints at it, the ntries to open a ripple to 23
[21:27] <01@Kit> 6Chii pauses at the blackness, eyeing it scrutinizingly
[21:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop, eyeing it.
01[21:27] <01@Jennifer> * A ripple opens to 23.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* X pokes her stick through
01[21:28] <01@Jennifer> * The stick goes through, and then starts to melt, stopping at her end of it.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm glad we've adapted to this stick method. I'm sure it wouldn't have meant well for Dias, otherwise.
[21:28] <01Dias`> <Dias> So what's this crap?
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> A trap.
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "I... I do not know... we have not encountered this before."
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> And evil one at that.
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> NRP: an* ;-;
[21:29] <01@Kit> 6Chii reaches out a hand and closes her eyes, trying to draw the darkness to herself her hand going to the floor to create a devouring rune.
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> * A voice speaks out, it sounds to each person like the female voice closest to that of a mother to them. "Come... join us..."
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> * It doesn't react to Chii's draw.
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole picks his at his ear, he doesn't have a mom.
[21:29] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel... has never had a mother in her life.
01[21:30] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby looks about confused. "Coomander...?"
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow, glancing around. 1Ah. Of course.
[21:30] <01@Kit> <Chii> Fuck it." 6She stands up, then just starts to walk into it.
[21:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers around, not having a mother either. Poor motherless weapons.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks to grab Chii
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Please becareful.
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> H-Ha-ha. I think Ariel is talking to me. That's so weird.
[21:31] <01@Kit> <Chii> I'm not afraid of darkness.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes Lilith beside her, then looks unphased at the voice.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Please...wait a moment while we test it. I don't want you hurt.
01[21:31] <01@Jennifer> Voice> "Come join us... Chii..."
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It's trying to lure us forward. Clearly it would be bad to go inside.
[21:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well we need to get to the other side
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around, holding Chii, peering for other entrances.
[21:32] <01@Kit> 6Lilith eyes X, having been an abandoned child.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* X tries to open a ripple beyond the door, though away from the team in case gas comes out
[21:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well let's try the normal approach. 6He begins gathering Dark Energy into his hands.
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> * The hallway is devoid of other doors. Vapors of the gas reach out through the ripple.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <X> There's nothing beyond that door that we want. 6* She closes it
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Then where is Cheryl?
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pings Cheryl as she searches
[21:33] <01Dias`> <Dias> Yet it's the only way to move on it appears. 6He steps forward, shoving both hands out and firing a Dark Beam for the gas and through it towards the double doors.
01[21:34] <01@Jennifer> * The dark beam breaks into gas as it hits the dark gas, which seems to get thicker, Dias feels like he's suddenly been washed over in dirty water.
[21:35] <01@Kit> <Chii> Where is she.." 6She scowls, closing her eyes and starts to try and reach out to Cheryl as well.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> .... Hm. 6* She nods at the door. "She is through there, but I fear going through it.
[21:35] <01Dias`> 6Dias pulls his hands back, making a face now.
[21:35] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns when she sees that... she tries a low power holy blast into the darkness
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <X> I got an idea. 6* She opens two ripples - one from the team, the other in the gas, seeing if she can drain it away from the door and team.
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> * Gas comes out the ripple but it just seems to spread instead of move. Raquel's blast makes an area of it shrink.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <X> Interesting
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around the structure. 1It would seem Holy is our only option again?
[21:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> I feel dirty. 6He waves his hands now
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <X> You should take a bath
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You didn't bath today man.
[21:37] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...you should invent a holy bomb."
01[21:37] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "It appears so..." *she holds her hands together and begins to channel Light into her hands*
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It's on my list. 6He notes, glancing slightly to Raquel, whether he's lying or not, well...
[21:37] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'll remember to take one then.
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6 Who knows.
01[21:37] <01@Jennifer> Voice> "Naughty children... come and join us, join us like Cheryl did..."
[21:38] <01@Kit> 6Chii squints, moving away from the holy stuff
01[21:38] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby fires a beam of light into the fog, and some of it dissapears, more seems to roll in from inside the room.
[21:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I've never used holy energy before...6He raises his hand towards it.
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "There is a lot of it..."
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We need to find the source and cut it off.
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Inside the room I take it. Stuffs coming in through the door."
[21:40] <01Dias`> 6Dias takes a deep breathe then starts to form Holy energy around his hand.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then blast down the door with the holy.
[21:40] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel doubletakes at Dias
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias slowly
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> All I got is lightning. You konw, pew pew.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shields Chii from holy stuff.
[21:41] <01Dias`> 6Dias' face twitches slightly as it begins to gather. 1"This is harder than I thought it would be."
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> * Dias creates holy energy with his will, though it seems to take energy from the crystals.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would imagine so. Using your force of will to create such a thing.
01[21:42] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby charges up another holy blast. "We should join attacks, overwhelm it."
[21:42] <01Dias`> <Dias> I do the same thing with the Dark beams. 6He growls then steps forward, throwing his hand forward and unleashing a Holy Beam towards the gas and the door.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* X fires a holy arrow
01[21:42] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby fires a holy beam.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole makes firing motions with his finger.
01[21:43] <01@Jennifer> * The gas dissapates and the doors are flung open, to reveal the gas backing into a dark room, lined with large glass windows, and a girl standing over a table, holding a bloody knife.
[21:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias shakes his hand, smoke rising off it. 1"Good thing I have 4 of 'em.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes aim with his pistol as he approaches.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> It's why I gave you so manuy
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around oddly as he moves.
[21:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias starts moving towards the room now
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries forward in a panic now
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> * The girl looks up, the mist spreads across her and the table, Cheryl strapped down on it, blood seems to be everywhere, she looks up with a mischievious grin. "And the children have arrived for our little party."
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Step away from her. Or you will die.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gathers energy into her hands, clearly going for her max capicity
[21:46] <01@Kit> <Chii> You better hope you didn't harm her much. 'Cause I'm going to turn it back on you three times.
01[21:46] <01@Jennifer> * The girl giggles softly and caresses Cheryl's face. "Apathy and I have been having a lot of fun together... I'll be happy to see you make the first move... if you can pull it off before I slit her throat."
01[21:46] <01@Jennifer> * The Mist pours back behind her, moving about her like a cloak.
[21:46] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop then glances at X.
[21:46] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to create a small ripple under the knife, and against the girl's own throat.
[21:46] <01@Kit> 6Chii instantly draws a gun and fires for her Omega Lilith's hand.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind the mist if possible, and firing a ohly arrow
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head. 1...
[21:47] <01@Kit> 6Chii's other hand draws and fires for her head.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon fires the blast forward just over Cheryl in case the attack makes it
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems to be evaluating how this is going to end.
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> * The girl leaps aside to dodge the gunfire, the holy arrow nearly striking Cheryl, she leaps out the window with the mist.
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She....ran away.
[21:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias dashes forward towards Cheryl now.
[21:47] <01@Kit> <Chii> Hrmph. Not too fast.
[21:47] <01@Kit> 6Chii runs over to join Dias and Cheryl
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves towards Cheryl, peering her over with a frown.
01[21:48] <01@Jennifer> * Cheryl would be KO'ed right now, badly wounded, but strangely healing rapidly.
[21:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> She looks like shit.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> See how her wounds are healing? 6He points one spot out.
01[21:48] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby frowns. "Get her off of that and move, you need to run now..."
[21:48] <01@Kit> <Chii> She looks way better than Lilium's going to.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks over Cheryl worriedly
[21:49] <01Dias`> <Dias> Unless her dragoon healings tapping into her crystals, I don't think that's right.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Question. Why?
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It's not. I'm sure this is what they use to keep their victims alive during torture.
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "Torture table, it heals someone rapidly so she can spend hours killing them over and over again... yes Kane."
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to remove the restraints from Cheryl.
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> * They come off, and the building rumbles around them.
[21:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias rubs his face. 1"She didn't need this, especially right now."
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. So why don't we all sit on the table and get a little pick me up? Oh cause the building is shaking, duh!
[21:50] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...don't tell me she was a load baring boss..."
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "...No... no this is not good... I have never felt that before..."
[21:50] <01@Kit> <Chii> Here comes anti-Ragnarok.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <X> So, .... Korangar?
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "That mist... was her pilot."
[21:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at Raquel. 1"Get Cheryl and Lemon out of here.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers out the window slowly
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves to the window's edge and peers out.
[21:51] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and moves over to Lemon and Cheryl, "...ready to freefall a bit?"
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to lift Cheryl up into his arms, peering around at the shaking.
01[21:51] <01@Jennifer> * The ground rumbles again as a large gear starts to rise outside, massive, larger then the building itself.
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Whoa. That's massive.
[21:51] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes the gear rising outside then looks over at Kane and Cheryl.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to the window instead
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> * Cheryl would wake now.
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> SHe's in no condition to form a gear, even if she and Chii could. We'll have to rely on Gabby and her team to do something.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes slowly, then snarls in rage, shifting to knock Kane aside. Biiiiitch."
[21:52] <01Dias`> <Dias> It won't stop her.
[21:52] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, people making this difficult for her.
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is caught off guard and is knocked aside. Poor Kane.
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby moves to the window, Kaze moving to join her. "We will... attempt to hold her off with the Ragnarok."
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks around in rage.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. There. 6He points at the big gear for Cheryl.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll break your knees. Cut your organs out. Burn YOU alive. 6* She eyes the window now
[21:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl. 1"You want a piece of her, then you need to find that bond you and Chii lost.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole also steps aside, looking afraid.
[21:53] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I'm not certain she has organs at the moment."
01[21:53] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron stares out. "It's a bloody goliath..."
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl coils her whip around her fist
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to a sitting position, eyeing Cheryl with a frown.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the window like a raging beast. Lemon turns to restrain her
[21:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts and grabs onto Cheryl from behind.
01[21:54] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby holds out her hand and fires a blast at the window, shattering it, she and Kaze dive out, forming a formidible gear outside, wield a much larger Ragnarok Edge.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* X watches
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes his time to check his datapad again.
[21:55] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X uncertainly
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Let. Me. Go. Lemon. <Lemon> No
01[21:55] <01@Jennifer> * THe crystal is rapidly moving in from the East.
[21:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> Not until you clear your head.
01[21:56] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Unless you can turn into one of those... I don't think you're gonna help lass."
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl relaxes, complying
[21:56] <01Dias`> 6Dias relaxes his grip slightly, his eyes focused on her from behind. 1"You thinking straight now?"
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts now to break free, but Lemon tightens her's, expecting that
[21:57] <01@Kit> <Chii> Cherry, knock it off.
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks and tightens his grip again.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then relaxes
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet and shakes his head. 1She's angry. She needs to vent or she'll bottle it up.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...... ....... 6* She grinds her teeth, as if trying not to berserk.
[21:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> Lemon had a good point. We broke it off before. We didn't break it off this time. It's just sleeping since it was desynchronised so long. Just like the devices we're using to move through realities, it got knocked off track.
[21:58] <01@Kit> 6Chii puts a hand to her face. 1"...We just need to relax. ...Get back on track."
[21:58] <01Dias`> <Dias> Oh I agree, and she can vent all she wants when Chii and her get there act together
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm...not in.,..the best frame of mind...to relax...
[21:58] <01@Kit> <Chii> Then look at it like I do.
[21:58] <01@Kit> 6Chii grins slightly, her eyes lighting up as she peers outside. 1"The quicker we relax, the quicker we can get out there and fuck things up."
01[21:58] <01@Jennifer> * A large mech, nondragoon lands, pulling out a large buster cannon, charging. Gabby takes to the sky, Betas flying in a bio-mechanoid gear form to join her in formation.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You don't...understand.... I'm....really not...a happy camper.... 6* She flexes her fingers
[21:59] <01@Kit> <Chii> There's no better therapy. Except you in bed.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks outside again
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh guys. There's a biiiiiig fight going on outside.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'm sure they'll do fine. Can we warp out?
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> The mech has the reality crystal signature.
[21:59] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel moves to peer outside
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Kane*
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't think this one is worth it, myself
01[22:00] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby moves in, clashing with Ragnarok blade to a dark sword, they start to go at it, a duel in the sky as the buster cannon keeps charging.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers to Cheryl, the to X. 1If we leave, Cheryl won't be able to get revenge for what they did to her.
[22:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> I can hold you forever until you decide to be a happy camper for 15 minutes.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her fingers, eyeing her body, twitching, struggling to calm now.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You holding me is just pissing me off.
[22:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> Deal with it.
01[22:01] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby is thrown into the ground, two Beta's exploding as they rush to guard her from another attack, her mech slowly stands, raising the Ragnarok.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps her device to shock Dias
[22:01] <01@Kit> 6Chii moves over and grabs Cheryl by the ear.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face and eyes Chii
[22:01] <01Dias`> 6Dias' entire body tenses now but he doesn't let go.
[22:02] <01@Kit> <Chii> You're kind of making me angry, now, you know. I'm not very good at public show and tell, but you know I'll do it if you keep being a pest.."
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth, those words just pissing her off more it seems.
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Will you two just leave her alone for a minute? If she jumps out there alone, she's dead, but if she can calm and sync with Chii, then she can exact some proper revenge. 6He moves forward, the pulls Dias off.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Kane, then the scene, then Kane. "I think it's best to get out at least, then let her calm."
[22:03] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Kane as he grabs him.
01[22:03] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Should we like, give the ladies some privacy eh?"
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> And then she will resent us. We can't have a leader that does that. We will deal with this now. Lemon can start syncing us just in case.
[22:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias lets go finally, eyeing Cheryl then steps back
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face, taking deep breaths
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to Dias, then looks to Cheryl, taking a step back. He doesn't give her encouraging words.
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers outside and then lets out a whistle. 1I wish I could be a big mech thingy.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl debates hurting herself, but then just winces, as if the idea would no logner calm her
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> How do we reconnect then? 6* She says thorugh her clenched teeth
[22:06] <01@Kit> <Chii> Like the old days, I'd guess.
01[22:06] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby and Evil Lilith go at it outside, Gabby crashing into a building as she's beaten back, two other Dragoons join the fight, by the looks of them, Mykel and Uriel.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is quiet, having gone to her usual demeanor for now
[22:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves to the window, watching the scene outside now
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She shakes her head, turning away. "I can't right now. All I see is red. Lets just...get out of this place."
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We have to find a way past the radiation then.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Out of here, then. Whatever. Fuck. Lets just step away from the big things outside the fucking window
01[22:07] <01@Jennifer> * Evil Lilith's voice booms out. "Is that all you have? Is this all the Arcs can bring to bear on me!?"
[22:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks back at Cheryl now. 1"Then make yourself see something else besides red."
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth at the sound of her voice, looking like she wants to rage all over again
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and motions to everyone. 1Let's get out of here.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, Dias, why don't you get caught on fire alive and feel every part of your body burn and then calm your mind to a point you don't damage your lover's mind by trying to connect her, hm?"
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, flexing her fingers.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> * The buster rifle fires, and Lilith cries out in pain suddenly. She roars and attacks the normal gear, it goes flying back, exploding.
[22:09] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'd just focus on the one thing that made me happy and only that.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just...fuck you
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> * Eilith.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cehryl walks out
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ho hum. 6He says then throws out 4 blue orbs up into the sky to send lightning towards the evil Lilith. Like that'd help, then moves after Cheryl.
[22:10] <01@Kit> 6Chii laughs slightly, but doesn't look all that amused as she follows Cheryl
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sighs, following
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his temples as he follows them.
[22:11] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitantly heads after Cheryl
[22:11] <01@Kit> 6Key peers between the splitting group and then holds a hand to her chest, concentrating as she shifts into valkyrie mode.
01[22:11] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shrugs and heads after Cheryl.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias, then follows Cherly
[22:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances outside again then turns, taking the rear of the group.
01[22:12] <01@Jennifer> * Stairs lead down outside the hall, the building constantly shaking from the fighting outside, Eilith's laughter filling the place.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <X> Lilith's laugh is better. I think.
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane taps the device on his arm, activating the holo-map and also testing the sync properties.
[22:13] <01Ariel> Raquel> *frowns thoughtfully* "...does Lilith laugh?"
01[22:13] <01@Jennifer> * The map is a bit sketchy, the sync isn't working here.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... *hangs her head*
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Everyone laughs!
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is quiet now, trying to calm herself visiblely
01[22:14] <01@Jennifer> * The laughter ends as the battle sounds rage louder, it seems more have joined the fight, but by the explosions, plenty are also dying.
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If we could find a shuttle, we could get out of here completely.
[22:14] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel rests a hand on X's shoulder, trying to not think about her inability to do anything at this point
[22:14] <01@Kit> 6Chii just sits, kneeling beside Cheryl silently.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is walking
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane turns the map off, annoyed at the tech interference.
01[22:15] <01@Jennifer> * They travel downstairs uneventfully, however, waiting outside for them is a black gear with green stripes, it seems to have been waiting for them.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it, stopping
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmph. Of course. We let her go.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <X> The one that got away.
[22:16] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes it outside, tensing slightly
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole bounces on his heels slightly. 1Oooh yeah. She burned me good.
[22:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> Cole, ready for some action?
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're all puppets to that teenage freak - they get off on pain, too. Nice family.
01[22:16] <01@Jennifer> * It holds out a large, clawed hand, flames licking it. "Mistress wants your crystals..."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves in front of Cheryl to protect her. Cheryl blinks at that
[22:17] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves through the group and past Lemon and Cheryl.
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole whistles as he walks forward.
[22:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> You take the high road?
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Only because you're too short. 6He tenses and breaks into a dash, leaping towards the 'chest' area, his katar's forming.
[22:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, dashing in low now.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* X gets ready to battle, strafing
01[22:19] <01@Jennifer> * The gear bursts into flame as Cole nears, it punches out at him.
[22:20] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel moves to the side, creating a ripple under it's left heel to throw it off balance
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole teleports and appears behind the team, landing on the ground, sliding forward slightly. 1Oh damn. Angry town. Population her.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple behind it's head to fire a holy arrow
01[22:21] <01@Jennifer> * The gear stumbles forward, throwing out a wave of flames at everyone.
[22:21] <01Dias`> 6Dias' skin glows briefly and he kicks off, spin kicking for it's right knee, tapping into two of the crystals
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole arms do a sweet shape changing trick to reveal the miniguns. He lets otu a whistle and tries to jump over the wave of glame.
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to run back from it, getting cover in the building.
[22:21] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel takes cover behind something solid
01[22:21] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron lets out his own flame to act as a shield. He gets blown back a bit.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds up her arms to protect Cheryl, wincing in pain. Cheryl pushes her down and covers her
01[22:22] <01@Jennifer> * The gear's knee bends under Dias' kick, it turns and blasts a gout of green flame at him.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't be stupid. 'm fine.
02[22:22] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X uses ripples to protect herself and her dog and her lackey.
[22:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks in with his other foot to shove off it as the green flame comes flying in
03[22:23] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole starts to fire rapid fire shots towards the gear as he strafes away from the group, charging up all barrels with the free hand.
01[22:23] <01@Jennifer> * It slowly picks itself up, tossing out a gout of flame over them from each hand like two very large, green flame throwers. "BURN BURN! TAKE THE CRYSTALS FROM THEIR ASHES!"
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits Lemon back and Lemon gets out a nanite shot for herself. She turns and rushes at the gear
[22:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands to it's side and slides backwards. He gathers Dark Energy into his left hand and shoves it forward, sending a dark beam for the same knee.
[22:25] <01Kit> 6Chii holds up a hand and shakes her head. 1"Thanks for buying me time. Mine to command is the wrath of the heavens. It ends here." 6She summons up an overpowered lightning art. 1"Indignation!" 6And brings her hand down, trying to strike one of the flaming gears' knees.
[22:25] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel stays behind cover, glancing around just a brief moment to get the gear's posistion, so she can use a ripple to shoot a holy blast at it's eyes
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* X fires another holy blast or it's flamethrowers to damage it
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in and tries to get behind the gear, waits for Chii's attack, then attacks it's back with her whip, trying to knock it forward if the knee is damaged enough
01[22:26] <01@Jennifer> * The gear topples from Dias' beam, but aims a flaming fist at him to land with it. It's other arm is shot up by Cole. It is unable to get up after Chii's indignation takes out another leg. Raquel and X seem to annoy it.
[22:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias is hit and sent flying covered in flames
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* X jerks to eye Dias. "Dias!"
01[22:26] <01@Jennifer> * Cheryl's attack makes it's topple a forward motion instead of backward.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches with her coiled whip at it's back while she's at it, aiming for the spine area
01[22:27] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron draws a circle, waiting quietly.
[22:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop and starts to rise again, patting the remaining flames off him.
01[22:27] <01@Jennifer> * It roars and busrts flame upward from it's back at Cheryl.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists to the side to avoid it. "I'm used to fire now."
01[22:28] <01@Jennifer> Gear> "YOUR BURNED SO NICELY! HEHEHEHE..."
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts up to the head to pound at it
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* A highly concentrated beam of energy flies out from the building, towards the gear. Kane apparently is using his rifle. The blast moves for the lower chest.
[22:28] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel puts on her bracelet, using her incorporeal form to get close to the gear, and tries to drain it's energy
[22:29] <01Dias`> <Dias> Fucking flames. 6He starts moving for it, his skin not showing sighs of being burned
[22:29] <01Kit> 6Chii moves to where she has a better view, forming seals with her hands. 1"Doesn't like light... well, it's not my specialty, but let's give it a whirl.."
01[22:29] <01@Jennifer> * The gear struggles and lifts itself up, swattign at Cheryl. It freezes when Raquel starts to drain and the beam pierces it through the chest.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* X tries to open a ripple under the gear and then cut it off when half of it falls in if successful, to chop it it in half.
01[22:30] <01@Jennifer> * The moves clumsily to avoid the ripple, screaming as it'ss ide is cut open, and it shifts out of gear form, becoming a very fucked up blonde girl.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers at the blonde girl, coiling her whip arond her fist to pound at her face, not abotu to stop
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers away
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> * A man falls with her and rolls, pulling out two guns, glaring at them all. He fires at Cheryl.
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole fires the charged shot for the man.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists so he'll hit the girl if he's not careful
[22:31] <01Dias`> 6Dias swings his left hand forward, firing a dark beam for the man
[22:31] <01Kit> <Chii> Got'cha.
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back out, holding his rifle by the strap.
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> Man> "Get away from her---" *he goes flying from the dark beam*
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to her face pounding if able
01[22:32] <01@Jennifer> * And the charged shot... and well... he's fucked.
01[22:32] <01@Jennifer> * The girl stops screaming after a moment, not moving anymore.
[22:32] <01Dias`> 6Dias lowers his hand now, letting out several deep breathes as he kneels know.
[22:32] <01Ariel> 6* Spirit returns to her mortal form, now that this enemy is dealt with
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps punching, a grin on her face
01[22:32] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks away slowly.

01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> * The very dead girl continues to have her skull smashed in by Cheryl.
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes the man now that they're seperated, finished with a silent chant. 1"Katon, Futon, na Raiton. Rengeki da... Zettai Hikari." 6She aims her open palm toward the pilot.
01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> * The pilot lays unmoving on the ground.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally stops, stepping back, waving her fist to shake off blood
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> How'd you like that, bitch? You like that?
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Chii drops a prismatic set of light pillars on him, converging at its focal point.
01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> * The dead do not answer.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms, eyeing Chii oddly
[22:34] <01Kit> <Chii> What?" 6She makes a face at X eyeing her.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes eerily calm again, running the bloodied hand through her blonde hair
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <X> A waste of energy on a dead man
01[22:34] <01@Jennifer> * The battle rages on and a Gear, holding the Ragnarok, crashes into the ground nearby them, looking heavily damaged.
[22:35] <01Kit> <Chii> Makes me feel better.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon keeps her eyes closed, not wanting to see
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* X moves to check on Dias
01[22:36] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron makes a cross sign and shakes his head, looking over at the large gear landing near them. It struggles to get up.
01[22:36] <01@Jennifer> Gabby> "C-Commander... she isn't responding... Samantha... Uriel... please come in..."
01[22:37] <01@Jennifer> * Eilith looms over everything, beating back gears and Betas, the Betas becoming sloppy with Gabby's worsened condition.
[22:37] <01Dias`> <Dias> Hey beautiful. 6He smiles at X
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <X> Are you okay?
[22:37] <01Dias`> <Dias> I think so, I dont' smell any burnt flesh.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chii now. "I feel better, too."
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <X> You probably have a bad nose, too, in addition to seeing colors.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ignores the fact she smeared blood through her hair, then glances at Kane and Dias. "Where do we go now?"
[22:39] <01Dias`> <Dias> My nose is very keen. 6He grunts as he pushes himself up now, then looks at Cheryl. 1"Deal with that giant gear?"
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We can head back to the camp and try to find a shuttle. Though with it being a solar flare, I'm not sure if we'll be able to escape the radiation from it.
01[22:39] <01@Jennifer> * Stray fire blasts through buildines, and even at the grounds outside the city. They're in the middle of a warzone, against a mammoth Dragoon who's firing about without any care for who she hits now.
[22:40] <01Kit> <Chii> Great. I know genocide makes me feel great, too.
[22:40] <01Kit> 6Chii puts up a hand. 1"Don't tell the others, though."
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the fight, then nods at Kane. "Escpae the system."
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That's what I think. 6He glances around, then moves towards the direction of the camp.
[22:41] <01Dias`> <Dias> That thing might chase us out to space.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to help up Lemon. "It might."
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head then throws up 3 more blue balls into the sky, letting out a breath.
01[22:41] <01@Jennifer> * The Commander comes walking out of the dust towards them, her mask cracked through.
01[22:42] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "You're... all alive. Good."
[22:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias studies Cheryl then crosses his arms. 1"You're the boss."
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You look like shit, lady.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes the commander
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She peers at the ground sadly, as if not liking they're not stoping the gear.
[22:43] <01Dias`> <Dias> If you give me all the crystals I can probably blow a hole in that thing.
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "Gear was destroyed... Gabriella is about to unlock the Ragnarok. It's... not good. We don't have enough firepower to stop her."
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sounds terrible.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> And unfortunate.
01[22:44] <01@Jennifer> * The Commander pulls off her mask, a gash runs across her face, under which, blue energy glows. "It was named Ragnarok because the day it's used... the world will end."
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, we need a shuttle fast, then. 6* She notes to Kane sourly.
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns. Rubbing his face slowly. He nods to Cheryl.
[22:44] <01Dias`> <Dias> Screw it. 6He tenses his left hand and begins to gather Dark energy into it.
01[22:45] <01@Jennifer> Commander> *she looks over at Dias slowly*
01[22:45] <01@Jennifer> * Gabriella takes to the sky, the gears on the sword moving rapidly*
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias. "You plan to risk everything we're doing to get invovled in a fight that none of them could beat with superior numbers?"
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stand. Down.
01[22:46] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "...There is a way... I think, that this can end better."
[22:46] <01Ariel> Raquel> *hangs her head* "...not to mention superior firepower..."
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Curious you didn't mention it immediately.
[22:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> Yeah I do. 6He begins tapping into the crystals again.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the Commander, sharing Kane's words with her expression
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said STAND DOWN DIAS
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shouts the words.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up his pistol, eyeing Dias.
01[22:47] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "...It means... another kind of end for this world. But I think I understand now..." *she holds out her hand, and the energy behind her gash fades, and in her hand, is a crystal*
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and eyes her. 1Of course.
[22:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Kane grabs his gun.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks back and forth
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. We still can't leave you know. Radiation stuff and all that.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods for Lemon to take the crystal.
01[22:48] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "...I am entrusting you with this. Please guard it well."
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon reaches out to take it
01[22:48] <01@Jennifer> * The commander lets her take it, it glows with the same blue energy for a moment.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at it
[22:48] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Well that was easy.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Dias. If you don't stand down. I will make you. We can't risk everything for this. And if you think you can, you're on this team for the wrong reasons. We can't save every reality. We just can't.
[22:49] <01Dias`> <Dias> You'll make me, huh? 6He stares at him, then clenches his fist, letting the dark energy disappear.
01[22:49] <01@Jennifer> Commander> "It's said that this must dissapear on the day of Ragnarok... my life goes with it... wait here... the battle will be over soon."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, a hard look, clearly debating what to do
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Without hesitation.
01[22:50] <01@Jennifer> * The Commander walks towards the battle, Gabby falls out of the sky again, smashing into teh ground nearby, her Dragoon form breaks and she lays there, a bloody mess. Kaze lands by her and picks her up.
[22:51] <01Dias`> 6Dias crosses his arms now, his eyes focusing on the fight instead
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You were going to disobey me, Dias. I told you what I would do if that day came.
[22:51] <01Kit> <Chii> We have an interesting effect on realities. Did I mention most of the ones I left were in some kind of ruin? It was pretty rare I was able to leave on good terms.
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses, then turns to eye Cheryl and Dias.
01[22:51] <01@Jennifer> * The Commander eyes Kaze and nods to him, she then walks on towards Evil Lilith.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* X tenses, eyeing Cheryl
01[22:52] <01@Jennifer> * KAze moves over to them, carrying Gabby. The remaining two Dragoons work their way out of the battle. Kaze looks at them. "...Come with me... I'll take you to a shuttle."
[22:52] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then I guess I'm lucky I listened.
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Quickly. 6He tells Kaze.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You weren't. And you might not in the future again. I won't have you on this team - not if you risk the team in fights that prevent us from our goal. 6* She turns to follow Kaze.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to follow as well, frowning, and X eyes Dias
01[22:53] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze frowns and nods, heading for the fields. "You've... got time. Are you all alright?"
[22:53] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel follows quietly, looking uncomfortable about all this.
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole both move on. Though Cole gives Dias a pat on the shoulder.
01[22:53] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze walks, cradling Gabby like a child as she self repairs in his arms.
[22:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cole then moves to follow.
04[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We're alive. We need Jennifer as well.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whispers something to Lemon as she walks. Lemon looks surprised, but then nods once, peering down
01[22:54] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze nods. "Raphael is with her... he's... seeing the wounded." *the sky behind them lights up with a blue light*
[22:54] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl now. 1"You're serious?"
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've always been serious about this, Dias. You swore you wouldn't go against me. You might have just now if things didn't go as they did
[22:55] <01Kit> 6Chii frowns, looking to the side as she follows. 1"..."
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think I'd risk that?
01[22:56] <01@Jennifer> * As they cross the fields, an explosion booms, the light grows more intense and then fades. Eilith no longer visible in the distance.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Lilith> ...This is rather disturbing.
[22:56] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances off to the side, frowning now. 1"Sorry."
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <X> ..... 6* She looks mad at Cheryl.
01[22:57] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze looks down at Gabby and frowns.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She peers at him, as if trying to decide if he means it.
01[22:58] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze's comms starts to pick up chatter, he grabs it and chokes out. "Commander is dead. It's over. All forces retreat back to Ares, bring the wounded to the forward camp."
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a sigh. 1Blue scar aside, she wasn't half bad to look at. Sucks she had to go and die.
[22:59] <01Dias`> 6Dias doesn't say anything else, proably because he doesn't know what to say.
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> * They arrive at the camp, Jennifer sitting up despite a flailing Raphael who looks worried, then looks at the others who are bearing wounds and gets up, his concern shifting.
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> Kaze> "She'll live... for anotehr hundred or so years..."
[22:59] <01Kit> <Chii> She didn't." 6She stares at Cole blankly.
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze looks down at Gabby again.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. We all need a new reality to clear our heads. Forget about it. All of us...aren't right...
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Wait..what? 6He pauses. 1Oohhhhhhhh.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers ahead
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to check on Jen and help her up
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers Jen over, but lets Lemon take care of her, he instead looks around for that shuttle they'll need.
[23:00] <01Kit> <Chii> Lemon, is it possible to direct where we go next in any regard?
06[23:00] * 01@Jennifer smiles at Lemon and lets her help. She winces from her wound as she moves. "Everyone okay...?"
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I can only go to realities that I have been to.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> By choice.
[23:01] <01Kit> <Chii> With certainty, yes. But if I gave you a kind of... Well, like you did with Cheryl. A 'ping' to follow. Could you move us in the 'right direction?'
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> No
[23:02] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Damn.
06[23:02] * 01@Jennifer looks between them, she looks over at Cheryl and smiles with relief. Raquel starts to heal the wounds of anyone who's been damaged.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks apologetic
[23:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias forms three of the crystals and moves over, holding them out to Lemon
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes them awkwardly
01[23:03] <01@Jennifer> * Or Raphael, who's a turtle.
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> Kaze> "We'll take you on the Yggdrassil."
[23:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias steps back. 1"Where's the shuttle for us to leave?"
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> A shuttle is fine.
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze moves for a shuttle. "We ummm... don't know if the warp gates are working."
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> Kaze> "The Yggdrassil can jump on it's own, it'll take you anywhere fast enough."
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and tilts his head. He sighs slightly and moves for the shuttle.
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers at everyone and pulls his arms behind his head, moving towards the shuttle.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shuttle is fine. Solar flare shouldn't go that far
[23:05] <01Dias`> <Dias> Can't we just go underground somewhere?
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She considers
01[23:05] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze looks over at her. "Without a jump, a trip to even Alpha Centauri can take days."
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> A solar flare won't go far. 6* She repeats to Kaze
01[23:07] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze shrugs and motions to a shuttle. "Alright... I'm assuming we're not going to see this shuttle again."
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. 6* She moves for it
01[23:07] <01@Jennifer> * Gabby opens her eyes slowly. "Thank you... I am sorry we troubled you..."
01[23:08] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze looks down at her and grins awkwardly.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Gabby once, then just steps onto the shuttle
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks Dias over, whispering. "Are you okay?"
[23:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves to and steps onto the shuttle
03[23:08] * X1 (scoutx1@99.54.143.19) has joined #taw
[23:08] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I'm sorry we couldn't save you from their superweapons." *heads to the shuttle*
[23:08] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'll be fine.
06[23:08] * 01@Jennifer leans on Lemon for support. Cameron steps onto the shuttle.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... Are you sure?
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves to the shuttle
[23:09] <01Dias`> <Dias> Yeah...6He looks at her, giving her a slight smile, then kisses her on the cheek.
06[23:09] * 01@Jennifer moves with Lemon, a smile on her face to see everyone is okay.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <X> If it helps, I'll go with you if you do want to disobey her and save people.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a seat, peering at the co pilot controls, a troubled expression
[23:11] <01Dias`> <Dias> She's right tho, I can't save everyone. 6He frowns slightly and moves to take the pilots seat
01[23:11] <01@Jennifer> * The shuttle it active and ready for them, the sky above still dark, but now stars begin to appear.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sits, sighing, moving her dog and lackey on
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole takes a seat. Kane peers over her shoulder. 1Do you think you understand how to fly this?
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll let Dias fly
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and takes a seat.
[23:11] <01Dias`> 6Dias grabs the controls, going quiet again as he feels them out then takes off towards space
06[23:12] * 01@Jennifer sits with Lemon, closing her eyes again. "Glad you're safe..."
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. If you need drugs, I have them
01[23:12] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron pulls out a teacup and a thermos.
01[23:13] <01@Jennifer> * Kaze steps back with Gabby, Raphael joining them.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl checks to see how big the shuttle is to see if there's a private area, or if it's a small one
01[23:13] <01@Jennifer> "Don't want any right now... I don't like sleeping..." *she sounds almost childish*
01[23:13] <01@Jennifer> * It's large and comfy, enough for a private area*
04[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Are you in pain? 6He asks Jennifer.
01[23:14] <01@Jennifer> "Always in pain... it's alright for now..."
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just get us past pluto or so, and we'll try synching.
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon frowns
[23:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes the controls to see if theres a star map so he can find which way is pluto
01[23:15] <01@Jennifer> "R_Really... Raphael numbed it a bit." *she tries to smile again*
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If it gets too much, let us know. Don't act stupid. If you're in pain, take medication.
01[23:16] <01@Jennifer> * There's a simple navigation system, and it goes way beyond pluto, but there's about 5 red circles in the solar system all showing red rings that are blinking.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Kane is riight
[23:16] <01Dias`> 6Dias plots a course that avoids them and heads for pluto
[23:17] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...what are those?"
01[23:17] <01@Jennifer> "I will... I just don't want to sleep right now..." *she looks down, obviously bothered by something* "I'd rather be with you all..."
[23:17] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Don't think I want to find out. You know?
01[23:17] <01@Jennifer> -TIME SHIFT-
01[23:18] <01@Jennifer> * Dias successfully gets them just past Pluto, which in this universe IS a planet, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And Syncing becomes available.
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What a stupid universe
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, Lemon, lets jump.
[23:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> Is it even smart to jump out in space?
[23:18] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We've done it before.
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The device should put us closest to the crystal
[23:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods and stands up now
[23:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon taps her device and they jump
06[23:19] * 01@Jennifer is resting against Lemon, still not asleep, Cameron sips tea.
01[23:19] <01@Jennifer> -END-
