<DeathStar> Date: 10-615.4.24 (Year 7)
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* After the incident with X and the battle, Taiga has detected 3 shards in the Classic Reality, which is threatening to break away like the Alt Reality did. Suited up to go with those who want to go, which is not Ouka since she's still tied up in medical with Oui, she slides into the shuttle. X, having finished torturing Xander, relaxes in the lounge where others can see her. Tora sits in the shuttle to go
<Jackieness> <Airym> *boards the shuttle as her job of identifying their mole has completed successfully*
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash heads for the shuttle, all repaired, though it looks like a patch job. He needs Tabetha.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga glances at Tora on the shuttle and then ahead, not commenting on her coming along
<Chain> 6*Kitty rubs her temples quietly
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sits in the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is all of us?
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga nods and begins to close the ramp
<Nyaomi> 6Mem moves in, wearing bandages
<DeathStar> (Mem isn't here)
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga lifts off after closing the ramp and flies out, checking the readings before getting ready to make a jump
<DeathStar> <X> You okay, Kitty?
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga's group makes a jump into reality space
<Chain> <Kitty> just rest for now, dont worry about it mom
<AquaKoala> *Jade naps, lying on Kitty's lap
<DeathStar> 6* Sensor alarms go off, indicating a ship is coming in of unknown origins
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Readying sensors to identify incoming."
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks and eases Jade up, moving to see
<kalonZombe> 6*Denise, still groggy, moves to check it out
<AquaKoala> *Jade blinks and yawns, looking around
<AquaKoala> *Horus fox holes to the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* A strange shuttle with what is likely the new EarthGov symbols on it from this reality approaches
<DeathStar> 6* Oui hops out of medical to check on it and X walks over as well, frowning
<kalonZombe> <Denise> Great... we don't need this right now.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Shall I open comm channels?"
<Chain> <Kitty> yes
<DeathStar> (Airym is gone)
<AquaKoala> *Horus moves to open the channels
<DeathStar> 6* Isis' face appears, with Umi behind her with two kids. Likely Hi and Miyuki and Kasha on the station will be very happy
<DeathStar> <Isis> Permission to dock. Lorelei gave us the ability to track you all
<AquaKoala> Horus> Mom!
<kalonZombe> <Denise> Permission granted.
<kalonZombe> 6*Denise sets it all up, then goes to nap
<Chain> <Kitty> Oh Mrs.Nue
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hello, Horus. *She smiles wearily*
<DeathStar> <Oui> *She leans forward curiously*
<AquaKoala> *Horus rushes for the hangar
<Chain> 6*Miyuki and the Nue herd are there
<kalonZombe> 6*As is Hi, eager to meet them to see if the kids are back, standing up out of her chair on her own for the first time since they disappeared
<kalonZombe> 6*She's actually lost weight in worry! GASP!
<DeathStar> 6* Isis lands a little roughly
<DeathStar> 6* Bouncing Umi
<DeathStar> 6* Then powers down before needing to hit the nets
<Chain> <Umi> ;A;
<DeathStar> <Isis> *She looks back at the wounded Kay* We'll get you help in medical
<AquaKoala> *Kay mumbles, having lost a lot of blood before he stabilized
<DeathStar> 6* Isis lowers the ramps and walks out, taking the little ones from Umi to show Hi and Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* Rin watches calmly to see those who will steal her place.
<Chain> 6*N-N-Nue RUSSSSSH
<DeathStar> 6* Isis jerks and moves behind Kay as a shield, propping him up
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha glomps from behind
<DeathStar> 6* Isis squeals
<Chain> 6*The Nue clan overtake the injured man and hoist Isis up, crowd surfing her
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles takes Kay onto a stretcher and rolls him out
<kalonZombe> 6*Hi hugs Isis tightly and takes the little ones, crying in happiness
<DeathStar> 6* Isis pets Hi, smiling
<DeathStar> <Isis> I see I was missed. What did I miss. <Oui> Me saving the day
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Classic Reality
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga exits the reality jump coordinates, approaching Earth. She frowns, observing a ton of Tsivrixsh ships in orbit, as well as what looks like reploid stations
<DeathStar> 6* She flicks a switch, testing the cloaking device on the Tiger's Claw
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks out, blinking
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Well now it's time to see if the cloak works I guess
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This cloaking device is capable of evading Illium sensors."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga flies in, avoiding the Tsivrixsh battle cruisers and moving for the planet
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is strange. *She tries to figure it out*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Reploid and Tsivrixsh cruisers
<DeathStar> 6* She gets lower, and begins low level scans of the planet
<DeathStar> 6* Tora leans back, not knowing any history
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I could attempt to make contact with Bot World for an update."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And if history has changed even for them?
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Bot World? 6*Since it was Classic Ash that went there, not this one
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga frowns, noting that what human scans show them in concentation like camps, doing labor work.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "...I am uncertain. Our resources are limited."
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixsh and reploids seem to be the majority of the population
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Is different than when left.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> How different? Scale of 1 to 10.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, definitely something has changed. We need to land. 6* She brings them down for Mega City, which looks to be more robotic and has very little humanoid lifesigns. Pinned to the capital building is the lifeless corpse of John, energy pylons in him to keep his progenitor energy from leaking out
<DeathStar> 6* IT seems his body is used to power the city
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If it is any consolation, once Classic separates from the Trinity, it is possible that the paradoxes will revert back to its pre-shard state."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga frowns, wondering if that is true and lands near what looks to be a data center
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets use this to get information.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks at John
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga steps out and moves to enter the building slowly. Tora steps out, peering up at the tall building in the distance
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash steps out as well
<DeathStar> <Tora> Someone hated that guy
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Is father.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pads after Taiga quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga moves to enter the building, various reploids moving around - they have a purple spark to them, indicating they have the Maverick virus. They are hooked up to terminals to get data, movnig about every day life
<DeathStar> 6* So far they have not detect the organics with them - Taiga and Tora.\
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga makes a face, moving toward the back for an empty data hub
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves with the others*
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash moves with Taiga
<DeathStar> 6* Tora walks along stiffly, and Taiga stops them in front of the data terminal - there is a plug in to access the data net and bring up what you want on the three screens in the data terminal
<DeathStar> <Taiga> One of you plug in and bring up the history - uh from the First Alien War? Whatever it was called
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods and does so
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Find out what changed. Likely to do with Death Star being dead
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Be careful. The data channels may be carriers of this virus."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> It's alright. Teddy has a bear's endurance.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Am bear.
<DeathStar> 6* The Year Long War comes up taking place in the year 2180. It details how Dominator led the Hunters instead of Death Star and was defeated. The Hunters were utterly destroyed by Sigma after barely surviving a test fleet from the Tsivrixsh on February 26th, 2180
<DeathStar> 6* This allowed the Mavericks to begin their take over of the planet and then they made an alliance with the Tsivrixsh.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy relates what he finds out
<DeathStar> 6* 20 years later, a resistance cell appeared and their leader, John McCormick tried to stop them but he was lost in space, only to appear later claiming to be Wind, a progenitor, after falling into hyperspace. The resistance group was destroyed, supposedly, 3 years later. Many of the faces are those they recognize - except Seraphna's, there is many of the originals up there from what would have been the Galactic War
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely listed on here is still Megumi's name as wanted at large, despite the reality change.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> One man's death is causing all this.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Amazing
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Chaos theory. A variable has changed, the system changes."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Is Deathstar, is hero of universe.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> True. He led the Hunters in the First War, but what was important was for him to get lost in the Second War and for Wind to use his template
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And when he died during our shard activation, we scrambled everything
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Wait, so with the reality shift, does this mean those lizard guys are extinct now?
<DeathStar> <Tora> Lizard guys?
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Lizard guys?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I would assume they ceased to exist. They were never brought over here to this Classic. And they likely never emerged in our reality whenever we shift over.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> We brought some lizard people hiding under the Earth over.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Until we can get all our realities back on course. And I'm beginning to see what we need todo
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have to save Death Star's life
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Alright.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> How do?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Centerpoint. If we can get it working long enough, is it possible to open a reality gate or a moment in time to stop the shot that killed him last year?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might create a splinter reality, but ours would be fixed
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, I believe so."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Centerpoint operates as a mass-scale computer. The missing data can be re-inserted back."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Let's do it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Then we need to get enough to make it and go back in time to last year. And try not to damage anymore. Death Star is the main variable. If we put hgim back in, this entire adventure might not even happen
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Granted, a reality will branch off where it did happen, or worse case, a reality will occur where all our fuck ups remain, but we can fix our mistake in ours
<DeathStar> <Tora> Sounds complicated
<Jackieness> <Airym> "However, we must survive to that point."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm only assuming it will because of Tareh
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That reality never vanished even after we fixed ours
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses, turning around and notices several Mavericks approaching them
<kalonZombe> <Ash> We should split.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "A machine life form should go with each group for bluffing purposes."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks around for exit, noticing the Mavericks are blocking the nearest one
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Yeah that could work.
<DeathStar> <Tora> How do you propose we bluff now?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We are being coralled in. Going deeper into the complex may be the only option."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Could go through.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga leans back, peering between two rows of data storage units that go further in
<DeathStar> 6* The Mavericks aim their weapon cannons
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We must move now."
<DeathStar> <Maverick> You will come with us for processing, unidentified reploids and organicsa
<DeathStar> 6* There are four of them
<Seraphna> * Seraphna, looking stony and cold, leaps out form her concealment among the ones aiming and begins to cut into them with a "beam saber" created from wind energies.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga backs up and prepares to make a run for it
<kalonZombe> 6*As does ASh
<AquaKoala> *Teddy charges the Mavericks
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Wait, we have received assistance."
<DeathStar> 6* The Maverick on the far right jerks as it's cut into, sputtering. Sitting on a desk is a famfrit Megumi, wearing Mad MAx type clothes, eating fruit
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash forms his buster and fires on the Mavericks
<DeathStar> 6* Tora forms ninpo and throws lightning into the farl eft one, shocking it's gun cannon and shocks it; the one in the middle, hit by Ash, jerks and throws it's ball andChain at Teddy
<Seraphna> * She does a Zero like spinning slash to catch the next one, eyes glowing softly as she doesn't utter a word as she continues, not showing signs of the same spirited woman who learned to fight from louder fighters.
<DeathStar> 6* While a skinny one dodges Seraphna and runs for the exit
<DeathStar> 6* To hit the alarm
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash blasts at him
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds out her hand and creates a gust attack to try and pull him back and hold him for the blast.
<DeathStar> 6* The skinny one jerks back into the blast, blowing up
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy is hit into the wall by a spiked ball that shocks him
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars and strains against it
<DeathStar> <Ape MAverick> Ha. Ha. Ha.
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy breaks free
<Seraphna> * Seraphna swings her wind blade to chop the chain.
<DeathStar> <Ape MAverick> ... *loses his weapon and he leaps to go away*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That one must be stopped."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi tosses a banana peel down for it to trip on*
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash pulls his spear out and leaps for the maverick, swiping at its arms
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks at Sera
<DeathStar> 6* The Ape trips and loses it's arms, sparking and falls to it's knees
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga has worked on hacking the system to erase the footage for the last hourt
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash shishkebabs at his face
<DeathStar> 6* The Ape Monkey begins to blow up, dropping data chips for Ball and Chain weapon
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers at Meg. "...The organics have clean reploids with them."
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash picks one up
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Tora walks over, studying Seraphna
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I'm Ash. That's Teddy. We're kinda awesome.
<DeathStar> <Tora> You look like Angela
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers at her and raises an eyebrow. "...Who?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy salutes
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Made by you.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I would advise we save introductuctions until we are once more in safety."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Well he is. I'm not. Well... this version of... you know it's a long story and we really should go.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga finishes and pulls out the scanner - there is a shard located in Mega City, in the same building that John (Wind) is hanging from
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There is a shard in that big building a few blocks from here - in that capital building
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Dangerous there
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Need to do it.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Leader of Mega City zone
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "..." *she peers, looking annoyed all XX style and grumbles* "Nearly suicidal. What's a shard?"
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Will make world better.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We'll explain on the way.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga kneels on the roof, musing, staring at the building a few blocks away, eyeing the flying reploids and the giant Fishshaped Battleship
<DeathStar> <Tora> So that guy powers this city grids
<Seraphna> * Seraphna speaks monotoned for this answer. "Yes."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy tilts his head "Is Wily?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna twitches at the name.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Your reaction is telling."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Leader, know who John is.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If we can yank him down we can make a power outage
<kalonZombe> <Ash> What kind of name is Wily any... why didn't anyone see him going evil, I swear.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga muses, eyeing the giant rods hookedu p
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at Airym
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "..."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You have orders?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm leaving the drone in the ship to you, try to take out the power grid on Joh--Wind out.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Once it blacksd out, we'll go for the building and you can follow - do as much damage with it before it's destroyed
<Seraphna> * Seraphna's eyes flicker at Taiga.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Affirmative. Making a connection now... ... ...drone is now in flight."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Aim at the reploid and bot unit cores for stronger explosions."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Free them from this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga moves to leap off and Tora follows
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hard to free reploids who are infected
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash moves for Taiga
<Seraphna> * Seraphna leaps after them. "Death is a form of freedom."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. We'll see.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Taking out Sigma is another if my memory is right
<DeathStar> 6* Tora hops down, landing hard on a trash can. MEgumi sticks with Airym to make sure she doesn't shoot Wind directly
<DeathStar> 6* The drone exits, a heavy duty thing. As it flies out, the flying reploids target it, coming in
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If done properly. He has a habit of simply leaving bodies behind."
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself, Jackers!
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Hell yeah, get to kill Sigma.
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Up, Up, Down, Right, Left

<DeathStar> 6* Airym has a free shot at the left pylon for 5 seconds
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Jackieness> <Airym> *fires at the pylon*
<DeathStar> 6* A massive explosion goes off, and energy shoots everywhere, Wind's body half slumped forward now as the enemy reploids chase the drones off, chasing it away sdo that Airym has to make a second pass. Prepare yourserlf
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Wiggle Dat Ass

<DeathStar> 6* Airym comes in a quick angle due to the enemies, having only a few seconds to fire atthe last pylon
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Jackieness> <Airym> *goes pew pew at the pylon
<DeathStar> 6* it blows up, Wind falling for the ground
<DeathStar> 6* The lights go out and TAiga runs inside
<DeathStar> 6* Tora tries to keep up as they bust through the glass door inside the lobby
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash rushes after her
<Seraphna> * Seraphna runs with her, those slower get a gust of wind pushing them forward.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy tries to get the drone as it wrecks havoc in the sky, the Fish Battleship comes down, opening fire until it takes it out
<AquaKoala> *Teddy rushes in, going throigh the wall and toaring
<AquaKoala> Roaring*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *guides the drone to bob about and draw the battleship's line of fire at ground and air forces*
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga eyes the Maverick lobby keepers who rise up and she uses her darkness ninpo, hiding the entire group in it
<DeathStar> 6* Airym soon loses control of the drone from the ship's bombardment
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have done what I can. We must move." *looks at Megumi*
<DeathStar> 6* She runs past the goons in the lobby, holding Tora's hand and moves for the stairs, not trusting tech
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash stays still and silent, activating his own cloak just in case. Ninja after all.
<DeathStar> <MEgumi> *is gone to find Wind's body*
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash follows Taiga
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps on Taiga's tail, not literally of course.
<DeathStar> *not even a note left for Airym*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires his chest rocket, roaring, attempting to draw attention
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves to the building lobby*
<DeathStar> 6* As they leave the lobby, the darkness fades; Teddy left alone in the lobby to fight the lobby Mavericks, of which there are 8
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket making them duck down and fire their blasters over their desks
<AquaKoala> *Teddy charges at them
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy is hit by the blasters, his armor chewed up slowly, but he reaches the desks like a bear right as Airym reaches the busted in windowed doors
<DeathStar> <Tora> You think the bear is okay? <Taiga> Teddy loves doing things like that.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy starts to push the desk over on them and breathes fire from his mouth
<kalonZombe> <Ash> He's fiiiiiine.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *pulls out a light, rapid-fire pulse gun from one of her equipment modules and starts applyign suppressing fire to assist Teddy*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Whoever programmed that has to be crazy."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> You did.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* The five mavericks are pinned, then burned, damage inflicted. The remaining three behind another section of the desk take aim, then are shot by Airym, falling over - being lobby Mavericks that greet people they are easily beaten*
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga follows the symbol to the 66 floor, where an evil presence is felt. Stepping out, Vile is there in his crusher armor
<AquaKoala> *Teddy grabs the desk and hurls it at a wall then wanders through the hole, going BESERKER
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We must hurry to join the others, Teddy." *moves past the damaged and destroyed Mavericks*
<DeathStar> <Vile> So you are the maggots who came busting into my capital building
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Am drawing attention
<DeathStar> 6* He marches forward, the shard part of his battle armor
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "I thought I smelt a cheating bastard."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "...attention has been drawn."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Fuck. How do we get it without breaking it
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks and nods, following Airym
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Oh, hey, you're that dude!
<kalonZombe> <Ash> With that thing!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Immobilize him and destroy his cannon."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...Who are you?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Where is Jade when you need her, or Kitty or Miyu sis
<DeathStar> 6* Vile stomps forward
<DeathStar> <Vile> I'm your worst nightmare
<DeathStar> <Vile> You're no X, but you'll do
<kalonZombe> <Ash> You don't LOOK like a giant toilet.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Close but...
<DeathStar> 6* He charges forward, his clawed hands on his armor punching forward and extending, hitting Taiga and grinding into her flesh
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ARGH1\
<DeathStar> 6* Vile's speed is surprising in his armor crusher
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs her and pulls her back with her, wrapping them both in a rolling wind shield.
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash teleports into the cockpit with him and starts pushing buttons "WHATS THIS DO WHATS THAT DO WHATS THIS DO WHATS THAT DO
<DeathStar> 6* Tora jerks and palms the ground, unleashing lightning ninpo into the armor
<DeathStar> 6* Ash would just teleport onto his head
<DeathStar> 6* Since it's a one man armor suit
<DeathStar> 6* Vile electrocutes him off
<kalonZombe> 6*He's thrown off and shakes his head
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Rebooting... rebooting...
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash seems to be an easy target right now
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I detect battle ahead, Teddy."
<DeathStar> 6* Vile charges for Ash as Sera saves Taiga
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy and Airym arrive
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga bleeds out, using her ninpo healing
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls Taiga away and then refocuses the wind shield, pulling it out and rolling the air rapidly to create a Rolling Shield effect. She then hurls it at him while Ash keeps him occupied.
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash teleports behind the rush and chucks the spear at his head
<DeathStar> <Vile> HOO-HAW, I LOVE BLOODIED REPLOIDS IN THE MORNING
<kalonZombe> <Ash> PSYC!
<DeathStar> 6* Vile is hit, but the armor takes damage
<DeathStar> 6* He turns around slowly, then hops up, armor crusher and all and tries to land on Ash
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash waits until the last second, then teleports right out of the danger area
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If one of you has that Chip, use it to wrap his legs."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> How do you NOT get that this is my thing yet?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Teddy, I am detecing the shard inside that suit. Be careful with your attacks."
<DeathStar> 6* Vile sneers and taps a button and a warning goes off about bombs in the room and a timer counts down from 3 minutes
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have to yanks it out
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I told you, cheating bastard."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga points at it on the outer edge of it
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash forms the weapon from the chip he took and wraps around the legs of the armor
<DeathStar> 6* Ash turns pink
<AquaKoala> *Teddy rushes in to attempt to pin Vile
<DeathStar> 6* The armor gets locked up during a charge
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Oh, I also have this thing!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Now. Grab it."
<DeathStar> 6* Tora uses a rock ninpo and stabs into the armor near the shard, trying to pry itr open
<DeathStar> 6* Vile fires missiles at Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Four come in flying from 4 directins
<Seraphna> * Seraphna leaps at Vile and uses a wind blade to stab in on the other side and try to help pry with opposing force.
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash waits for the last second for all 4 to hit him at once, then teleports
<kalonZombe> <Ash> YOU NEVER LEARN! THIS IS SO FUN!
<DeathStar> 6* Vile then begins to back up once he teleports and the weapon vanishes
<DeathStar> 6* Tora jerks, dragged along
<DeathStar> <Tora> GAah
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hold on!"
<kalonZombe> 6*He tries to wrap him up again
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga stabs down and uses a rock attack from behind to hold him in place when he g oes to dodge Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Vile fires missiles at Ash again
<Seraphna> * Seraphna kicks to get a footing on the armor with her boots, then shifts into Hybrid form for extra muscle, prying hard.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy contiues trying to pin Vile
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash switches to his buster and shoots the missiles out from the sky
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy would not be able to pin him, the armor stronger
<DeathStar> 6* The two manage to pry open the shard, but if they stop for a second the pieces will slam shut again
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Come off you piece of @#@!$" *censored for just plain rude Tsiv*
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Figured those might be different. I mean, you're dumb, but not THAT dumb
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Well... maybe that dumb.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Someone grab that thing NOW."
<DeathStar> 6* Vile begins to do his charge back again
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga behind him eyes her rock pieces break apart
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves forward to pluck out the shard*
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash wraps his legs up if he can
<AquaKoala> *Teddy attempts to grabs the shard
<DeathStar> 6* Airym grabs it, but it's in there tight. 3 seconds to pull out
<DeathStar> 6* Vile leaps up to dodge
<Jackieness> <Airym> *pulls
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga hits the ground
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds on tight.
<DeathStar> 6* Tora slams into SEra
<DeathStar> 6* 2 seconds
<DeathStar> 6* Vile begins to come down on all three
<Jackieness> <Airym> *keeps pulling*
<DeathStar> 6* 1
<DeathStar> 6* 0
<Seraphna> * Seraphna growls. "PULL IT OUT"
<DeathStar> 6* He slams down on them as Airym gets it out
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have it." *pulls back*
<DeathStar> 6* And the mech begins to explode with 1:30 seconds left.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga rolls back
<DeathStar> 6* Tora forms rocks to protect herself
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash rushes for the group, grabs them "Where to? I have some teleports left in me!
<Seraphna> * Seraphna howls and air blasts up to push it off them and rolls, taking Tora with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Vile leaps out
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Outside!
<DeathStar> <Vile> Well. N...o...w I--will kill you
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Anywhere but here."
<DeathStar> 6* He dashes, his speed faster, and charges his arm canno
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash teleports outside
<kalonZombe> 6*With the group
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks around the roof, when Vile leaps out the window of the 66th floor
<DeathStar> 6* And hovers in mid-air, charging his cannon still
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash fires at him
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Bloody cheater. I tell you. But now we're outside."
<DeathStar> 6* Vile fires his cannon and cancels it
<DeathStar> 6* Then he zooms away onto the Fish Ship
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We had best leave before he aims that monstrosity at us."
<DeathStar> 6* MEgumi is on the roof with Wind, who is eyeing them all with John's body
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I advise a tactical withdrawal before additional forces deploy against us."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Yeah you better run!
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Have parachutes
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Where to Taiga?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks to Megumi. "Is it intact?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The next shard is on another continent. Lets get back to the ship. <Wind> I have many questions myself
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi sits on his lap in a nurse outfit
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash grabs them and teleports to the ship
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They have... weird answers, Wind."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga powers up and Tora sits back, bleeding a bit. Taiga looks woozy herself and lifts up and begins to fly; despite the cloak, the Fish Ship begins to chase them
<DeathStar> 6* Vile's face appears
<DeathStar> <Vile> Ash---Ash Ash Baby
<DeathStar> <Vile> I have a present for you
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks
<DeathStar> 6* The Fish's mouth opens, a giant cannon extends
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Vile, sweetie, we should see other people.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...I don't like him."
<DeathStar> <Vile> I will see you in your nightmares, Ash
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is slow to maneuver and aim. I advice evasive tactics."
<DeathStar> 6* The cannon charges; at the level of power, their ship will be destoryed
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I guess the toilet can be a shade of puke purple now, maybe.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga nods and begins to attempt to fly side to side, but the Fish Ship keeps a lock
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How is it tracking us
<AquaKoala> *Teddy climbs out and fires a chest rocket at the opening of the canon
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're cloaked
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I can teleport us all... but I'll be down for hours.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I think he slipped a tracking device on us."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Your call.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Or he's tracking an energy signature."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *looks at Wind* "Or his power signature is so great that it is leaking out of our cloak."
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket flies along slowly, then hits it, blowing up and the damage is minimal
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm drained
<DeathStar> <Wind> Likely one of you have trave amounts of the maverick virus
<Seraphna> * Seraphna eyes Airym. "Scan."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *runs a scan over the shuttle interior*
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...It's the shard.
<DeathStar> 6* Ash has virus particles all over him like a STD
<kalonZombe> <Ash> He's tracking the shard.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "No, he is tracking you, Ash."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ash could be right - we're tracking the shard
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "This is what you get for sleeping with bad men."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...Well dammit.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But Ash might want to get that cleared up - I think he got it from VIle
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I couldn't resist his bad boy charms! I just had to shove my spear in his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga takes the shard and puts it in acontainer
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *pulls out a datapad that more or less looks like a torture device with wires*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You are contaminated."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hold still."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga begins to dip and dive as the ship fires, missing them by mere seconds
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...Pain receptors are turned off.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Someone take weapons and fire back
<AquaKoala> *Teddy does so
<DeathStar> 6* She points at seat 2
<DeathStar> <Vile> Ash Ash Baby. Do you feel me on you?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna hooks it up and starts trying an antiviral on him.
<DeathStar> <Vile> X felt me ... as I wore his innards
<AquaKoala> *Teddy starts to fire back
<AquaKoala> Teddy> This one makes me uncomfortable
<DeathStar> 6* Their blasts rain down on the cannon, damaging it heavily with their superior technology
<kalonZombe> <Ash> It's so nice that I annoyed you so much that you have a personal vendetta against me now.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Has gone insane...sinch killing hisnemesis
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Honestly, I feel accomplished.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans Ash to study both the virus and Seraphna's anti-virus*
<DeathStar> <Vile> You are simply another X to crush like an insect. I will enjoy having you inside me. Don't you want to be inside me?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna's method isn't born from years of study and schooling like before, but rough need and rudimentary figuring out, programming that hurts.
<DeathStar> 6* His Boba fett like helmet glows, indicating all the souls of the reploids he's consumed
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Well I want to shove a certain spear in your ass.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Does that count?
<DeathStar> 6* A weak spot appears for 3 seconds in the weapon control
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I advise not indulging him, Ash. The cirus is likely linked to him."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Awww, alright.
<DeathStar> 6* The Fish Canon blows up and the Fish Battle Ship explodes, crashing
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grumbles and keeps working. "Please don't tell me I'm the one that made you so talkative."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Nah, this version of me was someone else.
* Harusame has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to clear Ash up thankfully
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Though Ted says I'm not far off from the one you made.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy blow up fish
<DeathStar> 6* Even as the ship crashes, they hear Vile laughing on the comm
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Virus has degraded by 30% and improving."
<DeathStar> 6* Until the comm dies out from the explosion
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You're lucky I don't need to crush your core... we've had people we couldn't detox."
* Wyrd has joined #TAW-Shards
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi in her nurse outfit gives Ash a shot in his ass
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I'm so glad I turned the pain receptors off.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Likely improvements made by the Hunters to harden his system against the virus is helping."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga lands in Siberia where the second shard is, however there is high levels of radiation still. There are in the epicenter of the nuclear explosion where X and Zero died after X4 in the TAW1 timeline
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You'll have the equivalent of a hangover after playing drinking games with Tsiv elite warriors in the morning."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> So, Tuesday night then?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head to the side* "This treaty of Ash is somehow stimulating."
<Jackieness> *treatment
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Radiation levels are too high for mea nd Tora. And I don't know if we have suits on herre
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Don't tell me this is getting you hot."
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around, walking around the shiup, having three levels
<kalonZombe> <Ash> God no.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> You're not my type anyway.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks out
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers out. "The radiation is no problem for me."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Yeah I'm fine with radiation.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I lived here for a while... before the War."
<DeathStar> <Wind> That is why the reploids were banished here
<DeathStar> <Wind> Before the Year Long WAr
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, Airym can direct you to the shard.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's in the epi-center core
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "And one unlucky alien who didn't know what she was."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll work on locating the third
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Call if Vile pokes his head around.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I want a round two.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's in the bunker?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> *turns to a screen and then maps the location to the shard out for Seraphna*
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga checks a few things with her equations while they wait for someone to go oiiut
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns, getting up to go out.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy goes out as well
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash heads out
<Jackieness> <Airym> "And please be careful."
<DeathStar> 6* As they exit the ramp, the screen set up to keep radiation out, the wind and snow/hail blows up, whistling hard. Unlike other parts of the Siberian Wastleland after the nuclear fallout, this part is still a frozen wasteland in the epi-center
<DeathStar> 6* Which became a desert due to the manipulation of the climate
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *peers around for a moment, remembering a moment riding in Ariel's coat pocket in the area, letting out a breath*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I still have shard on my sensors."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods "Lead way"
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, is a crater. Due to the fact Earth was never restored in this timeline, the fact Teddy was here near the end of the Classic sessions when X was evil, this looks nothing like it did then
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga eyes scanners, picking up nothing but the scanner due to the radiation
<Jackieness> <Airym> *indicates the direction and then moves toward it*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If there is anything out there waiting on them I can't pick it up - I wonder what the hell they used to blow this place up
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves along toward it. "Keep your eyes peeled."
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash nods, moving along with Sera
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ash, I recommend that you try not to teleport until you have tested on an inanimate object. The radiation may interfere."
<DeathStar> 6* As they work their way downward, images flicker and change, and what seems to be playing is scenes from a high school on Earth of two Kitsune, the air becoming clearer for a moment as Miyuki and Kasha are back in high school before they were sealed away by Cran. However, with the radiation raging right outside, it's only a matter of time before it bleeds right into the road they are walking down and will flood them and Cran's agents that fateful day that brought them to present day TAW5
<DeathStar> 6* Even if the agents die, time will have been screwed
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Got it.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga squints at the readings, seeing what looks like a clear spot of no radiation, though it's slowly fading
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What the hell - I'm picking up buildings, Japanese style buildings
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And people.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "What's all this?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The shard is now active. We must hurry."
<DeathStar> 6* Down in the core is the bunker they want as the scene plays outto their left
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Dimensional crossfade?
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sneaks for the bunker
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I... might be able to make sure the radiation doesn't leak into those pockets, if that's what they are."
<DeathStar> 6* More and more of the Japanese landscape is being eaten by radiation and snow. So far neither Miyuki or Kasha of the past have noticed, or the agents.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Then do what you can. We must contian the shard before reality is affected." *moves toward the bunker*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy speeds up some
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and shifts her emitters allowing her to use her wind abilities and instead starts forming a containment barrier.
<DeathStar> 6* The bunker door as Teddy reaches it is sealed shut from snow and the explosion
<DeathStar> 6* The agents move and knock the two out, bringing them to their car
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Teddy, this will require brute force to open."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds it, watching the scene to see if she when she can let it down, it looks like a form of psi-barrier, but using an air manipulation to hold back radioactivity.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Uhhh should we help them?
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hauls on it "Do not interfere"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It seems the point is not to interfere."
<DeathStar> 6* The agents pack them into the trunk, looking around
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Right. Got it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door wrenches open and stale air leaks out - inside is part of the base that remains. Pure darkness is inside, but the shard reading is very close. Within 20 meters
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans the area in front of her as she moves inside*
<DeathStar> 6* The agents get into the car and begin to drive, taking a right - heading right for the barrier, so far talking and not noticing they are about to drive into a radioactive wasteland
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks about
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and peers around for something to block the road and force them to divert their path.
<DeathStar> 6* Less radiation inside; there is dead bodies inside of beings who hid inside during the explosion but it did not save them - up on a control panel is the shard
<kalonZombe> 6*Ash heads inside, unable to really help Sera, unfortunately
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna would see men a work sign that was left from the day before
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves to grab the shard*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna concentrates, nose bleeding since this isn't her better ability and TKs the sign out into the way.
<DeathStar> 6* As Airym moves to grab it, she would see it is propped against secondary launch codes. It needs to be lifted up without any pressure being exherted on the controls
<DeathStar> 6* The car stops, peering around for the men. They debate just going around it
<DeathStar> 6* Of course Airym could grab it and run like hell
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves to pick up the shard carefully*
<Seraphna> * She then wiggles her rear and a wind shaped into a tail crashes some trees into the roadway.
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Up, Up, Up, Up
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Jackieness> dddddd
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* It lifts up without incident - the scene vanishes for Seraphna
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* Once they are back inside and decomtaminated, Taiga has found the third shard
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Great.
<kalonZombe> <Ash> Where is it at?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna lays on the floor grumbling. "Megumi I'm putting in for overtime."
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...Don't tell me, Vile's ship.
<DeathStar> <Tora> What? <Taiga> *She looks up at the others as they return* When I said the Hunters were killed by Sigma, that did not include Hunter Station
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It became Maverick Station
<kalonZombe> <Ash> ...So we get to go fight Sigma?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "A few remnants had time to get out thanks to that."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sigma's Command Post in space has the third shard. Likely he has already discovered
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Most likely, Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi just pats her Wind
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<kalonZombe> <Ash> I am simutaniously excited and terrified
<DeathStar> Date: 10-615.4.26
<DeathStar> 6* There is a beeping from Taiga's readings on the black hole between Earth and the Moon where Centerpoint once waws
<DeathStar> 6* Oui looks over, having Ouka tied up wearing only bandages
<Seraphna> * Si rubs her eyes and peers at it.
<Chain> 6*Kitty looks as well
<DeathStar> 6* The faint outline of Centerpoint is forming, in and out, as if something is remaking it. Which should not be possible with the shards scattered everywhere and Taiga not having put forth her plan yet.
<Seraphna> Si> "That can't be good, can it?"
<DeathStar> 6* And it looks exactly like the old one, no changes
<Chain> <Kitty>DENISE
<kalonZombe> <Denise> ...Can we pretend that it is?
<kalonZombe> <Denise> Ahh! Ahh! We're right here!
<Chain> <Kitty>scan that motherfucker
<kalonZombe> 6*Denise starts to scan it
<Seraphna> Si> "That... shouldn't be possible. Warren Carmichael ensured that it was done for... I thought."
<DeathStar> 6* The scans slowly begins to come back, though it's hard since reality is forming and collapsing around it, as if the variables for it are not quite locked in.
<Chain> 6*Kitty crosses her arms, in resting bitch face
<DeathStar> 6* Finally after hard computing that strains the computers, it comes up with one variable:
<DeathStar> 6* Reality variables are resetting to where Centerpoint was not destroyed
<Seraphna> Si> "...It's like some kind of failsafe. The system crashes and it resets to a working point in time."
<Chain> <Kitty>...if thats the case...wouldnt that mean Erevis's child is alive there 6*Since Jamie died
<kalonZombe> <Denise> It's... possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Oui muses
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at the board
<Seraphna> Si> "It also means a lot of things, like people who should now be gone might be coming back. And things that were changed long ago might be reseting to default as well."
<DeathStar> <Oui> I might be a dumb kid but according to what Taiga has been writing on her board
<DeathStar> <Oui> We're living in an alternate prime reality or whatever
<DeathStar> <Oui> Right?
<kalonZombe> <Denise> Right.
<Seraphna> Si> "Technically we're an alternative now yeah."
<DeathStar> <Oui> Then that means you guys never blew up Centerpoint then. Right?
<Chain> <Kitty> yeah
<Seraphna> Si> "...Yeah."
<kalonZombe> <Denise> That... makes sense.
<DeathStar> 6* Oui eyes Taiga's board, tilting her head
<DeathStar> <Oui> I wonder if someone did this on purpose. It just seems really hard to believe. Even to me
<Seraphna> Si> "Centerpoint was done with in a trinity, but if you add a fourth shard there's still a centerpoint..."
<kalonZombe> <Denise> What happens if this comes back and we haven't gotten all the shards we need?
<DeathStar> 6* Oui shrugs, looking at Kitty
<DeathStar> <Oui> Do we try to stop it or wait on Taiga?
<Seraphna> Si> "Conflict."
<Chain> <Kitty> in all honesty, CAN we stop it with out her?
<DeathStar> 6* Oui eyes the shards they have so far locked up
<DeathStar> <Oui> Dunno.
<DeathStar> <Oui> We might have to.
<Seraphna> Si> "Of course... my specialities include kicking people, lighting things on fire and eating pocky. So I could be entirely off..."
<DeathStar> 6* X, who has been listening in, puts an arm around Kitty
<Chain> 6*Kitty blinks
<Chain> 6*then looks up at her mom
<DeathStar> <X> Isis said Lorelei was looking into someone who might be manipulating things in the government. IF need be, we will go to the blackhole if Taiga doesn't return soon and monitor things
<DeathStar> <X> They might need us to be there to help see what this thing is
<Seraphna> Si> "You're the wise experienced one."
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods
<DeathStar> -To Be Continued-
