<DeathStar> 6* After weeks of battles against the forces of evil, the team has been winning more victories than their normal reality counter parts - due to the fact the Erevis team is there to aid them, and the lack of Legion so far. After Erevis and Katrina's combined psionic abilities have been capable of identifing Scars, they've slowly eroded the enemy forces. Until...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis was injured in the last battle that turned bad due to an ambush; after getting back to the base, Erevis recovers in the medical bay, fine and alert, but needing rest. Meanwhile, this means only Chii and Megumi can save us! --- or something.
<DeathStar> Location: The base. Stardate: Feb 14th
<DeathStar> 6* Warren prepares a meeting to take place; Cheryl sits at the table, quiet since the battle, having been a loner mostly.
<Kit> 6Chii returns from sneaking Aya out and confers with Katrina, wondering why everyone's all mopey over Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> 6That wouldn't have happened.
<Kit> <Megumi> <Heeey. Zephy, is your momma's partner okay?>
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eats some of the food she got with Chi
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sits by Erevis, looking worried still despite knowing she'll be okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gathers some stuff for the meeting. "It just means identifying the enemy will be harder now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the bed, a bandage on her head. "I am fine."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. ...Want some cotton candy?
<Kit> 6Chii holds out a stick of blue sugary cotton to her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits in the meeting room, arms pulled behind his head, having been noticeablly more brutal against the enemy lately.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina glances at Chii, making a tisking sound. "You really like to push Chad's buttons."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once. 1I know. But I'm still allowed to worry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I think so>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pokes about the base
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? I don't give a damn about that dusty old bastard.
<Kit> 6Chii makes an indignant face, chomping some of the candy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits himself in the meeting room, his head tilted back, an apple balancing on his forehead
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps into the meeting room and moves for a seat quietly, bandaged in a few spots from the previous battle, but otherwise fine for now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If he spanks Aya, won't you feel bad?
<Kit> <Chii> Not really. He'd just make her all rebellious if he did that. Then we'd have more fun and stay out later. I only come back early 'cause she says she has to. It wouldn't kill the wrinkly crone to notice his kid's brilliant an' good on her own.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he steps upto his daughter.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, peering over. 1"That an' if anyone tried anything with her, I'd kill them." 6She notes, as if it doesn't mean anything to do so, immediately shifting topics. 1"Do I have to go to the meeting?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not if you don't want to. 6* She moves to step out, petting Chii
<Kit> <Chii> I'm supposed to play along and be good, but it's always the same old. If it gets rough, I'm supposed to fix it somehow, or do the 'ninja' thing. Like that means I'm some sort of miracle worker. Just because I don't die easily doesn't mean they can be lazy... The meetings are boring, too.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gives XAn a tired msile.
<Kit> <Chii> Why listen when it basically boils down to 'hey, you go first, and if you don't explode, we'll follow!'
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Rest up. I'm going to go attend that meeting, then I'll be right back, alright? 6He gets to his feet and leans forward to kiss her cheek.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-Where are you going?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> To the boring meeting
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, getting up to follow her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. Let me know what is said
<Kit> 6Megumi lands on Zephyr.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once. 1Of course. 6He offers her a smile and slips out, moving towards the meeting room.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a noise and falls in front of Xan
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Decided to come?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then offers Chad some cotton candy
<DeathStar> <Aya> I got it in your favorite color, Daddy.
<Chad`Winters> What did I tell you about sneaking off?
<Kit> <Chii> W-Well yeah. You're going.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and peers down at the two. 1You interested in coming to a really fun meeting?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks sad, holding the candy out still
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... boooo
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters and takes a seat. Cheryl taps on the table, peering about the room as if observing things
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6A moment later, she perks her ears as her translator kicks in.
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh, we're supposed to come?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't think you have too. I'm not sure. 6He offers out a hand to each of them, to help them up.
<Kit> 6Megumi takes it, hopping to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr does the same.
<Kit> <Megumi> We're 'invaluable' in the field, though, right?
<Kit> 6Megumi looks to Zephyr. 1"I used that word right, right?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep.
<Kit> 6Megumi throws her hands up in huzzah.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Worth more than me. 6He shrugs slightly, offering a smile to them before he moves towards the meeting room.
<Kit> 6Megumi grabs Zephyr's hand and runs off after Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows along, jerking as she's dragged by the hand
* Chad`Winters squats a bit so he's eye level, he takes it. 1"Aya, you can't keep doing this. I know you want to get out and see things but it's dangerous out there right now. What if something happens to you?
<Kit> 6Chii slumps onto the table beside Katrina, a droll expression and blowing hair out of her eyes intermittently.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Chii protect me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Chii dryly. "I see some of us are glad to be here."
<Kit> <Chii> Yo, fearless leader.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps in and moves to take a seat. 1Sorry for the delay.
<Chad`Winters> And what if something still happened? How am I supposed to feel?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Xanatos as he leads in the two girls, then speaks. "Once Erevis recovers, we have a shot at getting close to those near the President, to see if they are Dark One agents, and exposing them."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Nothing will happen!
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That going to take long?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It shouldn't; we'll spend a few days scouting and gathering intel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, eyeing Cheryl, then jerks. She leans over to whisper to Megumi. "I don't think that's really Cheryl."
<Kit> <Megumi> What? Why?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans foward, grabbing the apple. 1"Sounds good to me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't feel her. 6* She whispers.
<Chad`Winters> But what about how I feel Aya?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll have our best stealth people aid in the intel. 6* He eyes the names. "Myself. Chad. Darien."
<Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head at Zephyr, then hops up onto the table and prances over to Cheryl, eyeing her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> But nothing will happen.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Megumi, then leans back. "Can I help you...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses to eye Megumi. "Xanatos, your cat..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Will you go shopping with me and Zephy?!
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly, then tilts his head slightly to glance at Megumi. 1Megumi, what are you doing?
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're in the middle of a meeting.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to the distraction, then leans forward. 1I'd be hurt, but I'm about as stealthy as an explosion.
<Kit> 6Megumi puffs her cheeks. Chii eyes Cheryl as the cat goes back to her seet, hrmphing.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"So you're fine with stressing me out?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans over to whisper to Marcus now.
<DeathStar> <Aya> But nothing will happen!
<Kit> <Chii> I'm a ninja and he didn't include me; But that being the case, Cherry, you want to go get some drinks while they play?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have things to do here.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses. 1"I'm buying."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses. 1Warren, can I talk to you outside for a moment?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seriously...I'm busy. 6* Katrina eyes Cheryl, squinting.
<Kit> 6Chii spins one of her guns out, aiming at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at Marcus, then hands Xanatos the stick he uses to point at info on his board; the leader stick.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron lingers in the back, eyeing them all.
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough. 6He picks her up. 1"If you're not going to respect me, then you're going on time out.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns to eye Chii; Cheryl eyes her back incredulously.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses to hold the stick, then eyes Chii.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She looks sad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Excuse me?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sighs. 1Zephyr says she can't feel Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers about, a confused look.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeeeah. Cheryl never refuses a drink, absolutely hates being called Cherry, and she definitely wouldn't hold back trying to rip my head off with her whip if I pulled a gun on her.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron rests his hand on his sword, leaning forward slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes. "And what if Zephyr is the fake?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly peers at Zephyr now
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks.
<Kit> <Chii> I didn't say anything about Zephyr in all that.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Megumi would be able to feel if Zephyr was fake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Marcus did.
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks, peering at Zephyr. 1"We talked mentally."
<DeathStar> <Warren> There are more than one Scar. Is Megumi herself?
<DeathStar> 6* He notes calmly, moving to his podium area.
<Kit> 6Megumi makes mystic motions. 1"ESP!"
<Xanatos> <Theron> Hm. Perhaps I should put all three in the holding cells?
* Chad`Winters carries his daughter for their room. 1"I'm sorry Aya, but I'm your father and you'll respect what I ask of you."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's a good point. If you're scar, just show yourself, I'm ready to fight.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's a Scar? 6He perks up
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then shoots Cheryl in the shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But---I d.. 6* Cheryl jerks and falls back out of the seat.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Chii. No one authorized you to attack!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks in late - and staes at Chii shooting Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes go wide and he kicks out of his chair aiming to tackle Chii to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* He pauses, then pinches himself.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, yeah.." 6She leaps up onto the table, snarling as Dias tackles her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to get to his feet and moves over to kneel by Cheryl, checking her wound.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and holds out the leader stick to Darien.
<Xanatos> MRP: err Warren.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr gets to her feet. Cheryl rises, looking pissed, and gets to her feet, moving to kick out at Chii's head; the wound is bleeding
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias brings her to the table and does his best to pin her down. 1"What the hells wrong with you?
<Kit> <Chii> Get off me you dumbass monkey!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes it. Katrina jerks to her feet and moves to try to restrain Cheryl
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to restrain her too.
* Jen|MoreMovingStuff has joined #Taw-Alternate
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shoot me, bitch?!
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- does this usually happen at meetings?!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Everyone needs to calm down. The next person to attack the other is gettign the brig. 6He calls out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes his gun, and aims at Cheryl. He steps over and takes his gun, pushing it into her wound suddenly, making her howl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What . The. Fuck.
* Jen|MoreMovingStuff is now known as Angie
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at Warren now, another confused look on his face
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and eyes Warren. 1What are you doing?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Looking into the wound
<Kit> <Chii> He's testing her like I did!
* Angie steps into the meeting room, attracted by the yelling. "What..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shoves the gun in, then out, eyeing some black fluids on the end beyond the red blood
<Kit> <Megumi> <A-Are they mad at Cheryl!?>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <It's not Cheryl!>
<Kit> <Megumi> <...But it looks like..>
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to peer into the wound as well. 1He made it bigger. Since blood can be faked. 6He holds his hand up towards the black.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So this isn't Cheryl, right?
<Kit> <Chii> I said that to begin with!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl relaxes, snarling a bit. "Well, you're all easier to fool than Angela was."
* Angie stares, her hand shakily going for her gun. "Not... Cheryl? YOU FUCK."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to slam her against the table.
<Kit> <Chii> Easier to fool? I shot your ass, bitch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face as she hits. "Bending me over, Marcus? I know you'd like to do me, but I didn't know you'd want to do it this way."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos holds his hand up towards Angela, giving her an eye.
* Chad`Winters opens the door to their room and he moves inside. He sets her on her bed.
<Kit> 6Chii shoves Dias off, moving to retrieve her gun.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh you just don't know me then babe, I love a crowd. 6He snarls.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a face, while Darien keeps the exit watched.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks as he's shoved off
* Angie is gripping her gun, she eyes Xan dangerously. "This is the bastard who killed them."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Xanatos; get him to the brig.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Does this mean they know where we are?
<Kit> 6Chii picks up her gun, turning and shooting 'Cheryl' in the ankle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hopefully this one hasn't reported back yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a noise and slumps more
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We have a hostage. If anyone attacks him again. I will personally end you. 6He says to them all, then reaches out to take the scar from Marcus, moving to take the Cheryl to the brig.
* Angie looks ready to draw and join in Chii's hobby.
<Kit> <Chii> I wonder if they regenerate like Cheryl would.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rotates his neck. 1Where the fuck is Cheryl?
* Angie watches Xan and Scar pas her by, twitching.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kisses Angela as she passes
<Kit> <Chii> If not, all I did was hobble it and make your job easier, crybaby." 6She eyes Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> They must have her then. 6He frowns now. 1"We'll find her Marcus."
<DeathStar> <Warren> During the ambush last time, they must have gotten her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...fucking shit. 6He rubs the bridge of his nose.
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephy say feel. Can Zephy feel real one?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If I'm close.
* Angie shakes, just stopping herself from pumching him. "Never touch me AGAIN."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You didn't say that last time, sweetheart.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How close is close?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winks as she gets pulled out
<Angie> "I'll END you."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A few miles.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron clears his throat. 1You musn't lose control your emotions, Angela. It's precisely what they require.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos just make a face, rounding a corner.
<Kit> <Megumi> 'They?'
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then where do we start?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clears his throat. "We have another problem."
* Angie shakes, she looks back at Theron, her eyes wild.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers up towards Darien. 1More bad news?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Another?
<Kit> <Chii> How do you say it? When it rains, it pours.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to the holovid. "An Earthquake just began a few mom---" 6* He pauses when a voice begins to speak in all their native languages, talking about the gift of the gods and in 24 hours, the victor gaining any wish
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh, I could get my own soul.
* Angie looks around slowly, distracted from her rage. "What...?"
<Xanatos> <Theron> Hm. Did anyone else hear a Erusian voice?
<Kit> <Megumi> Wooow. Famfrit!
* Chad`Winters pauses as he peers around
<Angie> "I heard Basic."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares. Darien shakes his head, then hits the holovid where the video talks about an earthquake and the location
<Kit> <Chii> Wait, that wasn't in nihongo?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, how many people were lost?
<DeathStar> <Darien> None, it's near Freyja's shrine.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias chalks it upto another voice in his head and he looks at the holovid
<Kit> 6Freyja is conveniently missing, after all.
<DeathStar> 6* The voice gives the location and ends
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That location, isn't it the same? 6He points to the screen.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is this some sort of trap to lure us out by the Dark One?
* Chad`Winters taps his ear comm. 1"Warren, I jsut heard a voice."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. It is.
<Kit> 6Chii finishes whispering to Katrina.
<Angie> "No coiincidence."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps back in. 1I think I'm losing my mind.
<DeathStar> 6* The holovid begins to speak about the entire world hearing a voice, and reports going as far as the colonies
<Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm. The wonders a person could do with one wish. I believe this will be quite interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just speaks into his comm. "It seems everyone did." 6* He pushes the comm to the side to focus. "We need to get people to the shrine to scout the area. If everyone heard that, you'll have thousands of people flocking to that shrine."
<Angie> "Anyone else get a feeling a whole hell of a lot of chaos is about to erupt around that area?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head at Chii, touching her shoulder; Erevis stumbles in a moment later, holding her head
<Kit> <Chii> It won't be easy. She's there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is trouble; I sense Progenitor energy.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well at least I'm not crazy...completely. You want me to take a team out there? 6He pauses and eyes Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What about Cheryl?
* Chad`Winters rubs his face and he looks at his daughter. He picks her up and moves for the meeting room
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You shouldn't be up.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Want to wish for candy.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe we can wish for her back to us.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Progenitor? <Erevis> Yes. A lot of... it.
<Chad`Winters> If it's true...6He looks to the side a bit.
<Kit> <Megumi> Could wish for world peace!
<Xanatos> <Theron> Perhaps I can interrogate the prisoner to give us her location?
* Angie glances at Marcus for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's an explosion that kncks Chad into a wall, and alarms go off. Another explosion goes off, and then one in the meeting room, exploding. Katrina is hit by a piece of the table, and Zephyr is jerked back, a piece of wood in her chest
<Kit> 6Megumi ragdolls, Chii kicking up her chair and rolling back behind it as a shield.
* Angie hits the wall outside the meeting hall, having been by the doorway, she slumps and groans.
* Chad`Winters hits the wall, his hands holding his daughter protectively as he slams into it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts as he goes back, and Darien ducks behind Xan
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, far enough away that she just hits the hallway floor
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tumbles as he's knocked about. He stands up slowly. 1"What the hell just happened?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is sent flying, with Xanatos shifting to protect Erevis and it would Seem Darien.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-What the.." 6She coughs dust. 1"Fuck."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron shifts for cover, covering his head slightly.
<Angie> "Guess... that fuck had time to plant some bombs..."
* Chad`Winters groans a bit as he tries to regain his senses. 1"Y-You alright, princess?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is quiet, looking limp. Zephyr groans in pain, eyeing the wood piece near her heart.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Is---everyone okay...?
<Kit> <Chii> Kat?
<Xanatos> 6* Theron gets to his feet, peering around. 1Is everyone alright? 6He quickly moves to kneel by Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets up slowly, then peers about; Katrina rises, holding her head in pain
<Kit> 6Megumi is in the corner, limp herself.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--- ... can't feel anything
* Angie picks herself up slowly, eyes widening as she sees Zephyr, she moves over to her. "Zeph!"
<Chad`Winters> Aya? 6He shakes his head, his eyes focusing on her. He reaches up for her neck. 1"AYA?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly pushes himself to his feet, some wood pieces sticking out of his back. 1Ah fuck I'm hurting.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes go wide. 1"Shit, Zephyr!" 6He quickly moves for her
<Xanatos> 6* Theron frowns. 1This is beyond my expertise.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Zephyr, jerking and moving over, kneeling. He frowns.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to check on Erevis.
* Chad`Winters checks for a pulse.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron moves to check on Megumi now, checking for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises. "Is everyone...okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be one
<Kit> 6Megumi's just unconscious. She was shielded a bit by Zephyr.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't think so. 6He shifts to step back in, peering around slightly at the damage.
* Chad`Winters breathes a silent sight of relief as he holds her protectively. He glances around.
* Angie pulls out a medical kit, she starts work on Zephyr. "Hold on Zeph..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Don't touch her. 6* He orders Angela.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fine fucking time to be doctorless. 6He winces. 1We need to get her to a hospital, a real one. 6He tells Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to Chii, helping her up
* Angie stops, looking up at Warren. "Sh-She's critical!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Warren then down at Zephyr again. 1"You're going to fine, Zeph."
<DeathStar> <Warren> She has a piece of wood near her heart. Are you stupid? If you move her, you risk killing her instantly
<Kit> <Chii> Tough bitch, I should be helping you up." 6She mumbles.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Then what can we do?
* Angie looks down, she moves away from Zephyr a little.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns, looking concerned. 1We can go get a doctor and crew, bring them here. But I'm not sure we'll have enough time.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He shifts to peer back at the wood coming out her back, then at Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's about an hour to the city if we go by vehicle; less by shuttle, but if we're detected...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think it's worth the risk. I'm pretty sure Ariel would too.
<Angie> "I think the whole world is a little distracted at the moment, let's get her there faster."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I got lucky. Are you okay? Anything broken?
* Chad`Winters shifts to stand, his hand reaching behind his back for his gun. He begins to move for the meeting room
<DeathStar> <Darien> Being fugitives, getting a doctor to come will be hard.
<Kit> <Chii> Nah, I heard a click and my reflexes are king.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You have a gun right? We can be persuasive.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron pauses and gets to his feet once he realizes Megumi is fine. 1I will check on the prisoner. 6he slips out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's head slumps.
<Angie> "I'm with Marcus on this, we either do something or we lose her."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and glances away slightly. 1Damnit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He checks her pulse. "We're losing her. But moving her will likely cause her to..."
<Kit> 6Megumi groans and stirs, finally sitting up
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Wh-What happen?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Can't her pilot help her?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers around for something to move her
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll see if the shuttle was hit.
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, then flails. 1"Ah! voice machine broke again!"
<Angie> "Doing nothing carries a pretty similar chance." *she looks around too*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves out
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks slightly. 1We have to try and stabilize her and get her moving. I'll grab a gurney. 6He runs out, pausing to wince slightly at the wood in his back.
* Chad`Winters steps into the meeting hall. His eyes looking at them all gathered up, then locking on Zephyr with wood stake through her.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers around in confusion, then jerks. 1"Zephy!" 6She scampers over, gaping
<Angie> "Megumi... how strong is your bond?" *her voice faltered, it taking this long for the girl to notice wasn't a great sign*
<Kit> <Megumi> Huh?" 6She eyes Angela, looking confused. 1"What bond?"
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Zephyr, sniffing. 1"Hold Zephy! Megumi make better!"
* Angie gets a hopeless look and rubs her forehead.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, looking at Warren. 1"What happened?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Scar. Bomb.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You two aren't connected, mentally?
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue again, he glances around. 1"Where's Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to grab Megumi's voice translator, working on it quickly since they need her ot understand. "Captured."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Gone. She was the scar.
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a face at Xanatos, looking confused at his words, then leans in close to Zephyr, closing her eyes and putting her hands around her chest, concentrating.
<Angie> "Not enough to notice her Dragoon is dying it sems."
* Chad`Winters 's face gets tense. 1"Damnt."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She can't understand you, Angela; stop being a bitch.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a damp cloth to Zephyr's head.
* Angie looks at Katrina, then sighs, nodding. "Sorry... just... extremely frustrated."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hate feeling helpless like this. 6He breathes out in annoyance.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is staring in horror as she's carried around
<DeathStar> 6* It seems she woke up
<Kit> 6Megumi starts trying to repair Zephyr her own way, though she starts bleeding from her own chest regardless.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Megumi----
* Chad`Winters frowns, quickly shifting to keep Aya from looking at Zephyr, a head stroking her head gently. 1"Just concentrate on me, princess."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks slightly. 1She's going to kill herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't seem to hear him
* Angie looks over at Megumi, eyes widening. "M-Meg..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks a bit; Darien comms them. "The shuttle is in one piece."
<DeathStar> 6* Theron would find Xanatos laying on the floor of the cell, looking unconscious
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, moving over to Aya, peering closely at her.
* Chad`Winters moves with his daughter out of the meeting room.
<Kit> 6Chii snorts at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls Megumi back after some healing has occurred
<Kit> 6Megumi seems to short, pasisng out on Zephyr after mumbling.
* Angie looks between them, face pale.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks her pulse, then puts Meg's device on her, half-repaired to pick up certain words
<DeathStar> <Warren> She can be moved now if we hurry
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll carry Megumi. 6He shifts to pick her up
<Angie> "We need something to hold her steady."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron pauses and glances for the wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be none
<Kit> 6Chii makes pawing motions at Aya, despite her blank face, not above humiliating herself for the kid.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus comes back in with a gurney.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, but seems to look less fearful
<Kit> 6Megumi bleeds on Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina works to patch Megumi with Angela's supplies
<Xanatos> 6* Theron pauses and sends Warren a message to let him know what he sees.
* Angie motions Marcus over.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the comm. "Shoot him in the leg."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron pauses and lowers the field to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos leaps up to try to tackle Theron
<Xanatos> 6* Theron shifts forward quickly with a headbutt.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels by Megumi after getting some supplies and touches her forehead, petting it softly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I gathered weapons from the armory. If we are going to be leaving, we will need it.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos goes down
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides the gurney over and kneels.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works with Xan to get Megumi on the gurney.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps back and raises the field again, holding his bleeding nose.
* Angie moves to one side of Zephyr to lift her, waiting for help.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gently works to get her on the gurney, making a weird face.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos gets cut in half by the field. Ho ho.
<Angie> * Help lifting her, that is.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his head
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Xan and Marcus to get her to the shuttle. He moves to get data off his terminals
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Xanatos move to cart her towards the shuttle, moving quickly, but not jerking around to cause more damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Dias get Megumi up
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias works with Kat.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he quickly moves for Ben's room, holding his daughter tightly
* Angie moves with Marcus and Xan, using a datapad to watch Zephyr's vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya talks loudly. "Daddy...what's happening?"
<Xanatos> 6* Theron holds his nose and steps out once he's sure Scar is locked down. He moves for the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waits at the shuttle, having cleared at spaces. Erevis takes the supplies she got, moving after them, wincing at how heavy they are
<Chad`Winters> They got a hold of Cheryl and placed a Scar in her place. Odds are he's the one that set the bombs up. Zephyr's injured badly and we need to check on Ben.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Xan shifts to get Zephyr up and lock her in place so she doesn't go sliding around. Xanatos then moves back down quickly to help Erevis by relieving her of her weight.
* Chad`Winters slides ups to Ben's room and he moves to open the door
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares blankly
<DeathStar> <Aya> DADDY?
<DeathStar> 6* Ben the baby is in his crib.
* Chad`Winters looks down at his daughter as he shifts over to Ben. 1"Princess?" 6He snaps a finger to her side
<DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't react.
* Angie sits down slowly next to Zephyr, continuing to watch her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Dias lock Megumi down.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to he pilot seat, then Warren to the co pilot seat; Erevis sits down, holding her head.
* Angie blinks a bit and looks over, she pulls out and extender and scans over Megumi as well. "I don't know famfrits enough to really tell their vitals, but..."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits by Zephyr, while Xanatos sits by Erevis and puts a hand to her shoulder. 1<Xanatos> You should stay here.
* Chad`Winters looks slightly worried and he carefully picks Ben up, cradling him in his other arm. He taps his ear comm against his shoulder. 1"Warren, I got Ben. What's the situation right now?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're on the shuttle, moving to a hospital. 6* He says into the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes a face at forgetting Ben, rubbing it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would seem everyone else is leaving; is that wise?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Wait for me. Aya lost her hearing and I'm not sure if it's temporary or not."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps up to the ramp. 1Would you like for me to interrogate the prisoner why you're absent?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do so.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Erevis then Warren. 1"I can stay here if you want."
* Chad`Winters quickly moves for the hanger.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once and moves off to get his tools.
* Angie looks as Theron leaves, she bites her lip a little to keep from saying anything, then looks back at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We might need Erevis to deal with Scars.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits down tiredly beside Megumi, rubbing her face. She seems to be thinking about the wish
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He makes a face at that, rubbing it. 1She's injured Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> A lot of us are injured; and if a Scar posing as a doctor showed up, it would be devastating
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...I hate when you make sense.
* Angie looks at Zephyr constantly now, hoping she doesn't have to make a certain wish soon.
* Chad`Winters steps into the hanger and moves for the shuttle and up it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to be getting paler again
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What do you want me to do?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien closes the ramp and lifts off, flying them out.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We might need you
* Angie looks at her vitals. "We need to go now, Zephyr's..." *she looks up, then goes quiet*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Woohoo!
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... as cannon fodder.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...WOOHOO!
* Chad`Winters takes a seat, holding both Ben and his daughter, his hand rubbing her back gently to try and calm her down
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We need our most charming person to try and get help. Kat, you think you're up to it?
* Angie looks over at Chad and the kids worriedly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. I'll do it.
<Kit> 6Chii leans in to Katrina, eyeing her. 1"So despite shaking your head at me, you're still thinking about it. Heh."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya keeps panicking at not hearing things
<Chad`Winters> Warren, take Ben for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts to take the baby, rocking him
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up
<Kit> 6Chii whispers. 1"The wish."
* Angie goes back to watching Zephyr's vitals.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If things get worse, we might need it... 6* She peers at Zephyr and Megumi
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, so that's what you're thinking of.
* Chad`Winters shifts out his datapad and types on it, then holds it for her to see. 1"We're heading to the hospital now to make sure it's temporary."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers to the side
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I was wondering about that. Can it be so broad as to say, "I wish back every ally we ever lost."?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at it, trying to read it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Never hurts to try.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That'd be cool.
<Angie> "Seems wishful thinking, but it would be nice."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Pretty damn awesome.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey Kat, think you can mindmeld the kid? She's wigging.
<Angie> "Wishful..." *she sighs a bit, musing over that*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mindmeld...?
* Chad`Winters frowns a bit and just hugs his daughter with both hands.
<Kit> <Chii> You kind of put words in my head sometimes, though maybe it'd work, sorry." 6She sighs, peering at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes a video of the holovid talking about people flocking to the shrine
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans over and touches Aya, closing her eyes and using her abilities to soothe her emotions and let her know it'll be fine
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Perhaps you should let her pet your ears. That calms children
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus works on drawing out the scene for aya on his datapad, showing it to her. It's a poorly drawn hospital and a doctor with a thumbs up, he then point sot Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, looking more relaxed now.
* Chad`Winters looks at them both then nods to Kat. 1"Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Ben cries for food. Warren frowns.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- you think that'd work?" 6She purses her lips.
* Angie looks over at Ben.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leans back slightly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I wouldn't mind petting your ears. 6* He jokes.
<Kit> <Chii> Piss off. You're not under ten.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> He is up here. 6He points to his brain.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them into Tokyo, flying in and trying to keep them looking nonsuspicious; so far no one's attempted to stop them
<Kit> <Chii> You are, too.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I have heard Warren say you act younger than ten, Xanatos. You may pet her ears, then?"
<DeathStar> *Warren Carmichael
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias craftily reaches over and pets Chii's ears
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Last time I tried she pulled a gun on me. So I guess not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches over to pet them curiously
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You didn't think to get him any food did you Warren?
<Kit> 6Chii smiles sinisterly at Xanatos, then eyes Dias slowly-- with death in her gaze.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. And I don't have Cheryl to feed him.
<Chad`Winters> That was my fault, Marcus
<Angie> "If we get to a hospital we can get him some formula."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lands at the hospital and powers them down. Katrina gets up, moving out of the shuttle and inside to do her thing
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slows to a stop then slowly pets again
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm. 6He considers something.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his chin slightly, watching Kat go.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are soft.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> My ears are that soft.
<Chad`Winters> You're heads that soft, Durran.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Says the person with horrible grammar. 6He tsks at Chad.
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes
* Angie watches Zephyr and the vitals of the dynamic bleeding duo.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's vitals suddenly drop
<Angie> "Sh-She's dropping."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly looks over at Zephyr
* Angie reaches for her supplies, looking worried.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuck, do something!
* Angie tries to stablize her with what supplies she has. "Come on Kat... hurry..."
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina steps out with the doctors who hurry over and inside the shuttle, peering them over, then move to take them off without question; both Zeph, then Megumi. They eye Marcus, and one doctor leads him in
<Kit> <Chii> See? You pet me, now they're dying.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and looks confused, as if he forgot he was injured.
* Chad`Winters steps up and moves after them with his daughter
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe you're just unlucky.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises with a wince.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos helps Erevis up, and moves after them.
* Angie looks relieved, she moves after them. She looks back at Warren. "Formula would be in the maternity ward."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts to move in with Ben, while Darien remains in the shuttle to monitor things.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Megumi, one i nsurgery and the other in extensive care, remain out of commission. The staff seems to be slowly lowering as people talk about the wish, and more patients are moving in with injuries on their way to the shrine
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in a waiting area, eyeing Ben, as night falls. Erevis and Katrina sit with them. So far, no attacks have occurred.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It seems like this wish really is keeping people busy for now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm just worried about Cheryl.
* Chad`Winters sits in the waiting room for Aya's results
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems distracted.
<Chad`Winters> A lot of us are, Kat.
* Angie sits with them as well, her hands folded together. "Promise people the power of altering reality, they forget everything else, we've seen it happen before plenty."
* Chad`Winters holds out a second sucker for his daughter, who's sitting in her lap
<Chad`Winters> NRP: his
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Me and my sidekick Were-Marcus will find her and rescue her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus paces, bandaged up pretty good. 1Don't start that crap. 6He glances to Warren. 1Any word from Theron?
<DeathStar> <Warren> He said Scar is being stubborn. Even without eyes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...right.
* Angie stiffens for a moment, but she doesn't seem disgusted.
<Chad`Winters> Getting him to talk won't be easy.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparantly Scar claims he'll tell where Cheryl is at if Angela lets him have one more 'go' at her
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela, clearly contemplating it
* Angie slowly tightens her hands into fists. "He can have a go at my fists."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He said, also, Cheryl would be raped and torture and dead with a 24 hour period.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So let's get this out in the open. Are we going for it? That wish? We could wish for no more Dark Ones and Scars.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says this all calmly, as if putting it all on Angela.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue.
* Angie shudders. "You're not... seriously thinking that, are you Warren?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes faces. 1God I want to rip their fucking heads off.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I would never order you to do something like that.
<Angie> "But you wouldn't stop me." *looks ill* "This is sick. Really sick."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not if you wanted to save Cheryl, no.
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor steps out to motion Chad over.
<Chad`Winters> You're the one who desperately cares about her sisters. 6He looks at the doctor and stands up, moving over to him, still holding his daughter.
<Angie> "She's my sister, however we get along, of course I want to save her." *she rubs her head a little*
<DeathStar> 6* He goes over the damage with Chad calmly, talking about how it'll take surgey and that'll likely only restore some of her hearing.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It is sick. Very sick. But you're your own person Angela. We can't exactly make you do or say one thing or another. After all, we're not even a unit, we're just people who run away very well.
<Kit> <Chii> How lame.
* Chad`Winters nods throught it all. 1"And how long can the surgery wait for or is something that has to be done right away?"
<Kit> 6Chii eyes them all, leaned against the wall.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> It can wait as long as you want.
<Chad`Winters> I just ask because you seem to be down a bit on staff, but I'll set something up as soon as I can.
<Angie> "I want to kill him. I want to rip out his heart and tear him to pieces... he murdered my children." *she closes her eyes and stands up* "...If I hear one god damned utterance of the word whore..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He might be lying and still won't tell. 6* He notes simply.
<Kit> <Chii> He likely is. So he can get one more laugh at your patheticness.
* Angie twitches, looking at Chii.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> She makes a very good point.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I think it's wrong honestly.
<Kit> <Chii> Even the genius gets it.
<Angie> "I think it's more then wrong. And the thought crossed my mind immediately. Do we have any other options?"
<Chad`Winters> Thank you, tho. 6He nods to the doctor
<Kit> <Chii> Too bad your bloodhound cat keeled herself with a stigmata.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's just hope Theron cracks him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Unlikely, but we can hope...though all he has to do is hold out more than 24 hours
<DeathStar> 6* Teh doctor nods, moving back into his area
* Chad`Winters moves back over to the others, a poker face on. 1"He'll force us to kill him before we break him before that time period
<Angie> "...I want some honesty... who thinks I should do it? The suggestion was clearly made."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly eyes Angela.
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela. 1"If you want to save Cheryl that badly, then you should do it."
<Kit> <Chii> They all want you to do it because they value you less than Cheryl, duh. They're just too chickenshit to say it out loud since they have at least the average person's morals.
<Kit> <Chii> Except for Chad, who doesn't give a damn what people think if it involves his exclusive VIP list.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces. Erevis tilts her head
<Angie> "...At least Chad's honest."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh yeah. It totally outshines everything else.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would do anything if it would help my friend, but... 6* She trails off, remembering Xevil. "I could not say I would suggest it, either, to another
<DeathStar> <Warren> Chii is correct. 6* He notes simply with a shrug
* Chad`Winters glances at Chii, his expression not changing. He looks at Warren. 1"There's more to this. We'll have to device our attention.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Divide, chad.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't care if you do it either way. I'll do something if you don't, I'll do something if you do. I do think you're pathetic enough to do it, though.
* Chad`Winters gives Marcus a look
<DeathStar> 6* Aya colors quietly
* Angie gives Chii a look, then walks away a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why are you so hard on her, Chii? 6* She tilts her head
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor steps out of surgery, moving to Warren to talk
<Chad`Winters> Unless she does this right away, which even then, I have a feeling he'll hold out till it coincides with that wish thing. We'll have to send some people to the wish to make sure it isn't real and others to Cheryl's location
<Kit> <Chii> Her?
<Kit> 6Chii raises an eyebrow. 1"I treat her any different from anyone else?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. I just do not recall you telling me I am pathetic.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's because she doesn't think you are.
<Kit> <Chii> Bingo.
* Angie moves to a window and looks out of it, ignoring people now.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to peer at the doctors and Warren.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Bing--o?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts to look over Marcus' sshoulder
<Kit> 6Chii holds her hand toward Erevis and clicks her tongue, winking.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren listens, frowning
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Chii, you really should be nicer to people.
<Kit> <Chii> That's what Kat says.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't see the point.
<Chad`Winters> It's impossible. She's only nice to her exclusive VIP list.
<Kit> <Chii> I rest my case.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Very mature of you Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is quiet; Erevis pauses, then momics the hand and click sound
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Basically if you act nice to people, sometimes you'll get a nice reaction in return.
<Chad`Winters> What can I say? It works for her. 6He moves for his daughter.
* Angie seems to just be staring out in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts as the doctor walks off.
<Kit> <Chii> Kat was nice to me because she's a nice person, not because I had to act like something to please her beforehand. Same goes for Aya and Ben.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Your face, it's bad isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. That is logical.
<Kit> <Chii> Erevis is interesting, brave and strong.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles at Chii, then peers worriedly at Warren
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I've never been mean to you, and you've mocked me a few times, how does that work? 6he tilts his head slightly.
<Kit> <Chii> Angela's just pathetic and twisted. Xanatos and Dias are retards. Warren's smart but more ruthless than me if you really get down to it.
<Kit> <Chii> Chad's a dusty old shell of some great man he probably used to be.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They got the wood out as best they can; she'll need more surgery. It's 50/50 at this point, but the doctor's tone indicates more 40/60
<Kit> <Chii> Or just a dusty old version of the same asshole. I can't tell which.
* Chad`Winters kneels down beside his daughter and joins in coloring with her
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. That's definitely not good.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns. 1"Is there anything we can do to help?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wish the wood out, maybe. 6* He shrugs, picking up Ben again
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's a shame you think like that. You could have more friends if you gave people a chance. Instead of just labeling me a retard right off the bat.
<DeathStar> 6* He hands him to Chii to feed, knowing she likes babies
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran is a very kind person
<Kit> 6Chii deadpans at Warren.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias closes his eyes concentrating hard and wishing
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, he is. It's why I threatened to shoot him instead of actually doing it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Without a lead on Cheryl, we need to focus on this Gift.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad; I would not wish to battle you. Your ears are very soft.
<Kit> <Chii> Think about it, Xan, if it was someone else, would I hesitate pulling the trigger?" 6She holds Ben out, eyeing him.
<DeathStar> 6* Ben eyes her breasts like they were foreign, since Cheryl bottlefeeds.
<Kit> <Chii> Hell, I had good reason but I couldn't be sure Cheryl wasn't Cheryl-- but I knew she could regenerate so I shot her.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Here I thought you just got lost in my eyes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, I can go ahead and get down there, scout the area out if you want.
* Angie looks at Ben and Chii, then starts to move off. "I'm going to maternity to get some formula for the kid."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Some of us will need to stay here, either way, to protect the wounded.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll go with him to help.
<Kit> <Chii> Hate to say it, but you probably don't want to go to the shrine without me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gave Chii some formula
* Angie stops, noticing it.
<Kit> <Chii> Goes for you, too, Katrina." 6She holds the bottle to Ben.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can stay. I'm partly responsible for Megumi and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then I'll go to the shrine, too, to scout.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll go. I'll be sure to becareful, Chii
* Angie sighs. "I'll go or stay, whatever you want Warren."
<Kit> <Chii> Freyja's there. You're going to have to deal with thousands of crazies-- on top of a ruthless bitch that'll turn your own fears and nightmares on you, walk within a neverending mist-- and then fry your ass if you manage to get past it anyway.
<Kit> <Chii> But since we feel each other, I doubt we'll run into that if I go.
* Chad`Winters glances at Warren. 1"I'I'll stay here and watch over everyone."
<Kit> 6Chii sits with Ben. 1"Unfair advantages are advantages nontheless.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks his gun. "Then you can come, Chii." 6* He doesn't comment to Angela, then moves off. Katrina moves after him. Erevis rises to go.
* Angie sighs and follows Warren.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses to look at her. 1Really?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves after.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus adjusts his gloves and his duster, then moves after Warren.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I still think you should just wear tighty blacks for your sidekick out fit.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her; his expression is hard to read, but it seems her deciding not to do fuck Scar has annoyed him
<Kit> <Chii> Tch, she's a shrine priestess. I don't have half the spiritual tuning she does. Even if we have the same amount of energy, she can use it way more efficiently than I can use blades.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Really?"
* Angie eyes him. "If that's how you're going to be, I'd better get dropped off at the base."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can't make you stay, I know.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, looking troubled at Ben, then hands him to Chad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If this is Progenitor technology, I may be needed. I should at least scout the area with them, should I not?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the elevator
* Chad`Winters takes Ben, holding him and feeding him
* Angie gets in. "I'll take the silence and burning look as an 'Okay Angela'."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. I guess that's true. Please be careful. 6He stands to give her a hug and a kiss.
<Kit> 6Chii runs over and kneels to pat Aya's head, smiling at her painfully-- forced like Cheryl might attempt, then jogs to the elevator.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps on the elevator
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We don't have enough time to fly you back to the base Angela. Use your brain.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks in surprise, but waves
<Angie> "So how am I even supposed to do what he wants?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> WHO cares? Do what you want. Fucking hell.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. Katrina eyes her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Rent a shuttle, get a vehicle, walk...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias whistles, since this is against his superhero code.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is bows to Xanatos, as the doors shut once all are on
<Angie> "I guess I'm getting a shuttle." *she shakes, moving off to do so before the door shuts*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But if you don't want to do it, don't do it, Angela. If others don't approve, they don't approve.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos watches them go then moves back to Chad and the kids, taking a seat.
* Chad`Winters is feeding Ben, his eyes on his daughter, a sad look on his face, but his eyes seem distant as he thinks hard on something
<Xanatos> <Marcus> My mind boggles how that girl can have no one making her do something and still try to act like a victim.
* Angie stops as she says that, she frowns, then stops leaving the elevator.
<Xanatos> NRP: just change that girl to you.
<Angie> "...I'm not... rrr..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "It is a difficult decision for anyone to make."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't growl at me. Or I'll show you how to growl right. 6He notes seriously, showing his teeth.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I just assumed since she spread her legs for everyone else, one more time wouldn't be hard. After all, didn't she have sex with Spade in YOUR body, Erevis?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts infront of Marcus. 1"Marcus."
<Kit> <Chii> Is not. Don't want to? Fuck everyone else. It's why I think you're pathetic. You have no will.
* Angie shakes a little more.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, then peers away.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes Dias and seems to calm somewhat, raising his gaze to the ceiling.
<Kit> <Chii> And when you do have will, it's so forced and only because of pressure it makes me sick. You're worse than any beta.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open and Warren head for the shuttle
<Angie> "I just... I need... I..." *she tries to breath*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pats him on the shoulder. 1"Come on, Marcus."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stares Angela down as he moves past her, storming for the shuttle.
<Kit> <Chii> Just need an easier way out. The back door is that way." 6She gestures to the rear hallway outside the elevator. 1"Though if you're going to do it anyway just because you've been bullied around, be sure to show Scar the backdoor when you bend over."
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hands behind her head and casually walks after the others.
* Angie gives Chii the finger and moves to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, Kat, and Erevis wlak up the shuttle ramp; Darien peers back
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves up the shuttle ramp with Marcus
<Kit> 6Chii enters the shuttle at her leisure, never actually catching the finger since she didn't wait for a response or look afterward.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's go scouting, shall we? 6He takes a seat.
* Angie moves up the ramp, still looking about as pissed off as she's ever been, she takes a seat then pulls out her oversized handgun, counting out shells.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah. Maybe we'll get lucky and get to knock some heads in
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Angela still here, in surprise
* Angie doesn't look up, probably keeping herself busy to calm down.

* Angie loads a yellow, black and red shell into the massive revolver port on the gun and then puts it and the shell pack away. She crosses her arms and slowly looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lifts them up, flying them off.
<Kit> 6Chii folds out the armtable on her set and sets down both of her guns. She whistles, disassembling them within seconds, then waits for Darien to make a turn-- as the parts slide she snatches them and starts reassembling them before they hit the ground; practice.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So--- have we put serious thought into the wish? What we should use it for?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wish?
<Angie> "An end to the Dark Ones."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And friends who have died?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What about them?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes a hard concentrated look
<Angie> "If I could have both, I would, I just wonder how they'd feel if we brought them back but let the Dark Ones live on to kill more people."
<Kit> <Chii> Or them again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So you wouldn't wish for your twins back, if you could?
* Angie flinches.
<Kit> <Chii> Oo, kicking low.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quiet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias winces at Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's a valid question. We all have lost people.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I vote we wish for the end of these fucking bastards and be done with it.
<Angie> "I do want them back Kat, but what good would wishing them back be if another Dark One kills them, or they win and we all die? I... I don't know."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're beating them.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You protect them, that's why you keep them alive.
* Angie looks down.
<Angie> "Okay."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If this wish is legit, it means I could wish back John's life. To help protect everyone.
<Angie> "...If it's legit... why is this happening? Who just leaves a power like that sitting around for all to claim? What's the real reason behind this?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Chaos.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if my race is involved, it cannot be good.
<Kit> <Chii> So if it can't bring back lives or end an entire race instantly, we stand there twiddling our thumbs without a wish.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well beside the present company excluded. 6He winks at Erevis
<Angie> "To achieve what? THe Progenitors... were they about causing chaos? I thought they were the opposition of the Dark Ones... or something like that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, then smiles. "Thank you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> All I know is this is an important wish.
<Angie> "Well, reguardless of what we wish... we'd better be the ones to get it."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't really see how any of us can be 'worthy' of a wish like this honestly. It just means when it comes down to it, we'll have to fight for it.
<Angie> "Who knows what someone else might wish for."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And hope whoever of us gets the wish doesn't abuse it
<Kit> <Chii> I wonder why Freyja wouldn't go after it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And no offense, but in a fight, I would win.
<Kit> <Chii> She lost someone. It's why I exist.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus. 1"Exactly. If we don't make it, then someone else might make something worse. We'll have to fight reguardless.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wolfie please. You still can't beat me.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus snarls at Dias. 1Don't start, or I'll show you.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias puts on his tought face and flexes his upperbody.
<Kit> <Chii> I'll cap both of you. Shut up.
<Angie> "Marcus, please, point teh attitude at the enemy."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Tough
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus growls at Angela, clenching onto his seat.
* Angie eyes him back, she doesn't look afraid anymore.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly relaxes, shifting infront of Marcus. 1"Don't."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why does Marcus Jones growl a lot?
<Kit> <Chii> Because he's freaking out. I would too if I smelled like a dog.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Chii. 1"Stop being so mean."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes Dias and then Chii. 1Fuck you. 6he spits.
<Kit> <Chii> Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Don't worry, I'll buy you two candy like I do Aya.
* Angie rubs her forehead.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You really are a heartless bitch, you know that?
<Angie> "Chii, stop."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sounds stern
<Kit> <Chii> Yep, cold and --" 6She pauses eyeing Katrina, then snorts, peering out the window.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus and makes a whipped noise
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs, peering out. "I wish we could all be happier; I cannot imagine how Katrina Jones handles the emotions."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leans back to eye the ceiling, obviously working to keep himself calm.
<Kit> <Chii> Maturity.
<Angie> "We've all suffered losses, our friends are hurt, and we're desperate now." *she sighs* "This entire mess... it's wittling us down."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts to massage Marcus shoulders. 1"Relax Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren flies over hundreds of people traveling thorugh the woods and lands by the shrine; near by, an area glows, but nothing seems opened yet.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just leave me alone Dias. I can keep myself under control.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey. We're bro's. Don't get mad at me.
<Angie> "Should we all agree on a wish still or just go with our hearts?"
<Kit> <Chii> What heart?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus frowns. 1Sorry. 6He mumbles.
* Angie eyes Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii is still gazing out the window, her tailtip flickering.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's alright. Sidekicks are always learning just like their superheros.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches Chii's chest
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes Dias at that, growling slightly again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your very strong heart inside. I can feel it. Figuratively, and literally.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises and steps out, eyeing the aura. Katrina and Warren move down
<Kit> 6Chii jerks, going for a knife on reflex, pausing to squint at Erevis' corny speech.
<Angie> "Surely you have one. No one with as much to say as you can, so much spunk, be lacking in heart."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles and pats his back. 1"That's why I love ya."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets to his and steps down the ramp, shoving his hands into his pockets.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down with Marcus
* Angie gets up, fixing her white coat over her weapons and bracers and moves out after Dias and Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren surveys the area, clearly trying to decide on defenses; he pauses, though, when military ships float up from the trees, and battleships begin to come in
<Kit> 6Chii hrmphs, holstering her guns and walks down with her arms crossed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers up. 1"That's bad."
<Kit> <Chii> Waited for us, or after the wish, too?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks tense, shifting slightly in an odd kneeling stance.
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be taking up positions, not noticing them yet. Warren waves them in the shrine, and Darien hurries out
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I doubt we're that important. 6He shifts a bit and make shis way to hte shrine
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and moves after Darien and warren.
<Kit> <Chii> Could have fooled me any other day.
* Angie moves after Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* They set up positions; one fires and blows up their shuttle, while troops land to secure the area. Some move for the shrine to investigate
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hrn, we need to block the entrance
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Guess we're that important
<Angie> "Another shuttle bites the dust... do they know how long it takes to tune those?"
<Kit> <Chii> It's already blockaded, Warren.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks for something to block the door, pausing to glance to Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then eyes the door entrance
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at Angela, who was all emo a moment ago to suddenly cracking jokes
<Kit> <Chii> Freyja's here." 6She leans her head toward the interior.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to barricade the door anyway.
* Angie still seems pissed off enough. She helps Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hrn.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then lets get the feel of the land, and decide what to do ... now
<DeathStar> -END-
