<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Rita eyes the door they are trapped behind in the freezer chamber; Rosetta trembles, not from fear or the cold.
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Time to break it
<Sera> * Setsuna seems to keep her cool. (Pun!) And nods to Mem. "Seems the only way."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia doesn't shivver, being cold blooded, but she suddenly starts acting super sluggish and slow
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> They are likely waiting on the other side in full force.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Shouldn't we escape in antoher direction, like vertically?
<DeathStar> >Rita> I'm worried about my siblings.
<DeathStar> 6* She notes softly.
<DeathStar> (Sorry, Hikari)
<DeathStar> (Haruki()
<Sera> * Setsuna peers upwards, looking for a route.
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki shifts in her men in black outfit, the suit and tie frosting a bit.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia slowly looks for an escape route
<DeathStar> 6* There is lab equipment above them to keep the room cold and the equipment working; it loooks very sensitive and complex, and likely highly explosive if one were to attack it. It likely could create a huge hole, and hurt them unless they seek shelter. There is the center of the room area where the eggs were stored. Haruki shifts her dark hair back, and leaps back bhind the equipment
<Nyaomi> <Mem> If we do, we're giving up those newborns, you're okay with that, Rose?
<Sera> Setsuna> "Everyone take cover."
<Nyaomi> 6Mem blinks
<DeathStar> <Rosett> We're not oging to give up. We just need to come in at them at another level; Haruki, lead us back to them. We'll flank them.
<DeathStar> <Haruki> Alright.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia looks for cover and moves towards any cover she can find
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta nods and moves back behind the center of the room, ducking down. Haruki peers at Mem, clearly seeing her as the Alpha.
<Sera> * Setsuna pulls out a trick kunai with a timed fuse, she moves to the center of the room and takes cover as well, waiting for everyone to be clear.
<DeathStar> 6* ethia would find the center area with the eggs is large enough to cover her as well, clearly the main center piece.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves to the center to take cover from the explosion
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta eyes it, and clicks her tongue; she doesn't think it'll be enough, and forms her spiked energy whip, then heaves it at the kunai, the whip glowing brighter and brighter as it flies; Rosetta begins to pant as the whip flies off, having expelled a ton of energy to throw her melee weapon, a talent Cheryl never had before - to actually throw ones' stationary weapon out like a ranged weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* And overload it
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Down. *she pulls mem down with them*
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Heh.
<Sera> * Setsuna gets down. "NIce trick."
<DeathStar> 6* The whip explodes with the kunai, and the room booms so loud, their ears ring, and everything shakes, and smoke and burning smells rush past them, filling the lungs of those who have to breathe; Rosetta and Haruki naturally hold their breaths as the room fills up
<Sera> * Setsuna holds her own.
<DeathStar> 6* Things swing around them, equipment and tubes and other things, and wails and other noise is heard, and other places in the base shake from the feedback as the base itself seems to be tearing itself apart from the overload going throughout it, hitting other power centers
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta lifts her head; not only did they tear a hole in the ceiling, they tore down the front door, and a hole in the floor, and part of the wall, the smoke being the only thing that is giving them any cover right now.
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> Whiiiiichhhh wwwwaaaaay?
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta stumbles weakly forward along the damaged floor, equipment sparking all over, and leaps up for the next floor before Illiums begin to fire into them
<Sera> * Setsuna baps her and whsipers, "Up."
<Sera> * Setsuna leaps after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki shifts and leaps up, grabbing the floor, which cracks a bit and lifts up; above the smoke level, they find themselves in a training room that is dead now from the damage.
<DeathStar> 6* Training dummies lay about, all dead, though it's clear they are high tech and deadly. The top of the line
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves up as fast as she can, the heat from the explosion probably helping a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta leans down and holods out a hand for Ethia as blasts fire into the smoke toward those on the floor below
<Sera> * Setsuna keeps low and wraps her mask around her face to keep out the smoke as best she can.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta makes noise so Ethia can find her hand in the smoke
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Here! Roar!
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia reaches for Rosetta's hand, trying to find it, coughing a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta grasps the hand as it lifts up above the smoke and yanks her up, right before a blast would have fried her
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta clears her throat, peering down at the smoke, since Mem is still down there
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> Thanks 6*She says through coughs
<DeathStar> 6* The blasts are getting thicker, frying the room
<Sera> * Setsuna pulls out something and gets ready to drop it down, Mem or no Mem.
<Nyaomi> 6Mem goes to get out after hurtling blades in all directions the size of small shuriken and razors
<kalonZombie> brb
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki leans down and pulls Mem up after she moves to get out and pulls her up too
<DeathStar> 6* A few blasts die out, or shift their aim. A few blasts begin to aim upward, as if the Illiums despite smoke have figured out what they are doing
<Sera> * Setsuna drops the flash bomb to roll towards the Illum, and shifts back a bit to get out of line of fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki leans back from the hole wioth Mem, R osetta is hit
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves over to Rosetta and starts patching her up with her medkit
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta nods and sweats, crawling abck with Ethia. Mem is hit in the back with a few blasts, tearing through her back and opening a few wounds as long as she remains near the hole
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Anyone have a grenade?
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki quickly rolls back completelyh
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Preferably quickly.
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> Used all mine trying to get in here.
<DeathStar> 6* Mem's arm is blasted
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Get away...from the hole, Memmy
<Sera> Setsuna> "Already dropped..." *the flash bomb goes off* "It."
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta peers up at a training droid, then rips it up off it's spot and throws it over; it appears the flash grenade did nothing earlier, and she takes note as she rips wires out of the droid, causing it to spark as she rolls it over into the hole, a boom is heard
<Nyaomi> 6Mem deadpans and moves away
<Nyaomi> 6Mem drops a string of blades into the droid as she drops it to make a claymore
<DeathStar> 6* Mem's arm is now hanging a bit useless, her left that is, and her back is bleeding badly. Rosetta stands up, nodding her thanks to Ethia, testing her shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki looks at Mem. "There are healing kits near here - this is where we are trained as new borns."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves to patch Mem up as well, sighing
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta looks horrified at the idea - these are killer training drones - they do not hold back. Haruki leads them to the exit, which has to be pried open. She grabs it and yanks it open, her long dark hair swishing with the effrort, and once opened, steps out, pointing at a wall for Ethia to get resupplied. It has the top of the line equipment, all Dragon Inc.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta grabs some knock out drugs as well, and other supplies so Ethia isn't overburdened, and moves to walk quickly, knowing Ethia can walk and patch up Mem since she turns pain into pleasure, and is likely high as it is now
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia rushes over to the wall to resupply
<Sera> * Setsuna follows, leaving a couple traps in her wake as she moves.
<DeathStar> <Haruki> The younglings are in the labs ahead. The rest, the older ones, can be anywhere. <Rosetta> There is nothing we can do about that. Unless you all have an idea how to get them all in one place.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> And even then, we have to somehow convince them to join us
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki is quiet, adjusting her sunglasses to hide her red eyes as they reach the labs; on the other side of some windows, they can see Illium Scientists moving toward sleeping girls of 5, who look like Cheryl in various ways, like Haruki, despite her dark hair and red eyes, and walking toward them with weapons to end them, the Illium weapons that vaporize you if they hit you, or if you're strong, damage you severely. Haruki jerks and forms a fonta blade and tries to smash the window, but bounces off; the steel doors to the lab look locked.
<DeathStar> <Haruki> NO!
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> ....
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 15 children in there. Ages 5-12.
<Sera> Setsuna> "And we're not exactly sitting on all the time in the world. They'll bring back up soo-- aww fuck."
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> Well... shit.
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki moves to the door and tries to beat the door with her weapon, an energy field repelling her
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl misses Cassandra with her punch due to her overdrive, but spins and grabs Mars' car as it comes back in and throws it through a building wall, a spike going through Mars' side, knocking her out, leaving Rita panicky.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *mutters about people not listening and driving off when she says to drive off as she moves in to strike Cheryl while she is still following through the the car throw*
<DeathStar> 6* Rita eyes the other dead body of Fiore, then Mars bleeding out, and squeals in panic. She takes deep breaths and climbs out of the broken car
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, grinning, pauses as she's hit and goes flying like in a TV show into a lamp post, crashing into it and bending it completely as her body is entangled into it. She mutters as her Presidential uniform is ruined; the sounds of sirens are heard, no doubt law enforcement by Illium government run bodies being sent
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to free herself, grabbing the lamp post and ripping it apart
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves immediately to try to follow up her previous attack with another strike, hopefully before Sheryl recovers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit again, and since the attack is not specified, the GM chooses in the arm, which jerks back a little; Cheryl rips herself free, grabs the lamp post, and with quick speed and locked on, swings the remains at Cassandra quickly at her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No more interrupts, Cass.
<DeathStar> *Sheryl
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *wraps her arms around the post as it impacts her, body jarred with the impact, though she tries to twist her momentum around to rip the lampost away again*
<DeathStar> 6* Sheryl loses the lamppost, but takes the moment to jerk in with quick speed and punch into CAssandra's stomach, sending her flying into a park car's side, with enough power to dent the door, though CAssandra would still have the lamp post. As she begins to walk toward her, she pauses as a timid voice speaks up, peering at Rita
<DeathStar> <Rita> Y-You stop right there before I fight you. <Sheryl> Rita. The reason you were put on tour guide duty is because you were a failure as a weapon. You have no fighting capabilities or will to battle. Stay out of this, traitor.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *rises up, taking advantage of Sheryl's distraction to swing at Sheryl's spine with the lamppost with full force*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, locked on, flips over the lamp post despite the override, and lands. Rita suddenly blurspeeds at Cheryl and her hand extends outward, forming a glowing ball, that expands, and expands, and expands until it's the size of a volleyball. Sheryl eyes it. "The hell---" 6* She pauses as Rita gets right in her face, and unleashes it into her faec, sending her her flying into the Dragon Inc. building side. Rita falls to her knees, whimpering
<DeathStar> Rita> Did I kill her?
<DeathStar> 6* Sheryl slides down the side, her face bloodied, and she looks pissed, her lock on temporarily disabled.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "No, but thank you." *then charges at Sheryl, using the lamppost like a large spear as she aims straight for the center of Sheryl's chest*
<DeathStar> 6 *Grabbing a human guard that runs out, she grabs his gun and aims at the two, especially at Cassandra. She throws that guard forward, so he's impaled bhy the spear anbd slows it down enough that she can dodge, the spear grazing her side, blood splurting out her side, and fires at Cassandra with rapid blasts of her gun
<DeathStar> 6* Rita hides behind a car as the shots are fired, covering her head
<DeathStar> <Guard> *had two days until retirement*
<DeathStar> <Sheryl> I am going to fuck you up, bitch. If not me, then you're fucking up your own body with that; I can smell your gears burning uip
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Sorry." *then tilts the lampost down and uses it like a pole vault to send herself flying up and over Sheryl's line of fire*
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to have gotten Cheryl's temper.
<DeathStar> 6* Sheryl aims upward and fires, and with Cassandra in the air, she cannot dodge as easily; it takes her a moment to get her in the line of fire, but she does before Cassandra reaches her, firing and blasting her in the lower thigh, the chest once, and the right shoulder as Cassandra reaches her
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *pops open a compartment in one of her arms and then drops a load of mini-explosives down in Sheryl ashs he starts to drop down herself*
<DeathStar> 6 *Sheryl quits firing as the mini-explosives land on her, and she shifts and springs, catching Cassandra, tackling them both to the ground
<DeathStar> <Sheryl> You plan to use that, you go with me
<DeathStar> 6t* She headbutts
<DeathStar> <Sheryl> Ah don't go alone
<DeathStar> 6* Rita peeks over the car as the firing stops
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "If I can take you with me, lady..." *punches at Sheryl's face with ehr left fist*
<DeathStar> 6* Sheryl takes the punch, spitting blood into her face, and grabs Cassandra by the hair, a death grip and knees her in the gut.
<DeathStar> <Rita> Oh my.
<DeathStar> (Going to scene shift unles Cass is going to trigger it)
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "The thing about being a cyborg is... I can turn off the pain receptors. Bang bang." *detonates them*
<DeathStar> 6* Rita stares as they blow up
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki tries to bust into the lab in a panic, and eyes the metal door
<Sera> * Setsuna pulls out plastique. "Will this do it?"
<DeathStar> <Haruki> Energy field
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki pauses, and puts her weapon against it, remembering what Rosetta did and attempts to overlaod it, stepping back
<Sera> Setsuna> "Then hit it with something strong enough to overload it.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta moves away.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia steps back as well
<Nyaomi> 6Mem peers at her left arm, gripping her fingers as she moves over with Rosetta
<Sera> * Setsuna backs up
<DeathStar> (*her fingers grip her ass*)
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki focuses hard, and the weapon overloads, taking out the field and doors, blowing it inward and hitting an Illium scientist against a wall, damaging them; there is 3 of them, and the wounded one looks dazed. The other two peer up, and turn back to the children who are stirring awake, and they lift their weapons, preparing to fire
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki rushes in there, and tackles one, and the scientist slings her off against a wall
<DeathStar> 6* Breaking her glasses
<Sera> * Setsuna leaps in and tosses a Kunai at the barrel of the weapon of the remaining one.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia rushes in, firing her pistol at the dazed one to finish it off
<DeathStar> 6* The large barrells of the vaporizing guns engulfs the kunai easily
<DeathStar> 6* The scientist fires, killing a kid, but seeing they cannot finish off more, turns toward Setsuna and Ethia
<Sera> * It goes off, another trick kunai. Small explosive force.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia turns around and fires at the scientist
<DeathStar> 6* The kunai detonates from the firing, and the kid still dies, but the gun is damaged, and begins to make a loud noise as if it's overloading
<DeathStar> 6* The dazed one is hit by Ethia's shots, and shifts, as the shots hit him, behind and grabs one of the 5 year olds as a shield, blueish blood leaking down
<DeathStar> <Scientist> Back off! *he pauses at the whirling*
<Sera> Setsuna> "What happens when that blows?" *she rolls to cover*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia dives for cover from the weapon as well
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki pauses, eyeing the weapon; the scientist with the overlaoding weapon is shot by Ethia and drops the weapon near a bunch of kids, stumbling and runs off, as does the other scientist that's fine
<DeathStar> 6* Only the dazed, shot up one remains with his shield, moving to a corner. Haruki points at the exit
<DeathStar> <Haruki> Everyone out!
<Sera> * Setsuna leaps up and tosses a wire line for it, she tries hurling the weapon towards the Illum, then runs for it.
<Nyaomi> 6Mem hurtles a chain lined with kunai to snare the children and pulls them along behind her as she runs for the exit.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia rushes for the exit
<DeathStar> 6* Haruki tries to get them all out, picking up confused ones, then rushes for the one in the corner with the overloading gun, it a high pitched one, the scientist's eyes wide, and the child he's holding having wide eyes, and leaps for them, tries to rescue it, as the gun goes off, half the room vaporizing
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta grimaces - but at least they got the others out except the other shot one
<Sera> * Setsuna looks unhappy too, grumbling a bit guiltily.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta says nothing, not even looking at Setsuna - with half the room gone, Haruki is no doubt dead as smoke rises.
<Nyaomi> 6Mem grinds her teeth a bit, looking angry.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia is quiet, looking aside
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> *she peers at the 13 children, who are staring at them, accusingly and confused*
<Sera> * Setsuna trembles. "Haruki..."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Haruki wanted us to get you out of here... *one of ther 12 year olds speak* <Girl> You're our enemy. You killed Haruki and another of sisters. We're not going with you anywhere
<DeathStar> 6* They move off to leave
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> It's dangerous here - the Illium are trying to kill you--- <Girl> We'll get out ourselves.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta clinches her fists, Haruki saying they needed all of them together to find Cheryl
<Sera> Setsuna> "...Please come with us. Take your retribution out of me when we get out of here."
<Nyaomi> <Mem> You little fucking brats
<Nyaomi> 6Mem yanks her clenched hand around the chain she snared them with-- now purposely using the blades on it to make a cruel point.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl speaks into a comm, telling the Commander where they are, and tosses the open comm at Setsuna's feet, then gets the little ones into the vents, and escapes. She cuts the chain with a scythe
<DeathStar> 6* The girl eyes Mem, sneering, with her own red eyes as she crawls in
<DeathStar> <Girl> That's for Haruki
<Nyaomi> <Mem> ...
<Nyaomi> 6Mem walks right over to the vent and tears into the wall around it making it bigger with her bare hands, looking possessed.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia makes a face at Mem "You... dumbass."
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta amkes a rface; right as the Illium Commander from before rounds the corner with 3 Elite Illiums
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Too late; we have a fight on our hands
<Sera> * Setsuna frowns and pulls out two more Kunai, looping a plastic onto one.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia pulls her pistol up and fires, just trying to create a distraction as she dives for cover
<Nyaomi> <Mem> For Haruki? She dies to get you out so you can get yourselves killed? Fuck off you little shit." 6She snarls into the vent, then glances over at the commander, her breathing irregular.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta forms her spiked energy whip; the elite Illiums, in their armor, quickly lift armored arms to block the shots for the Commander, who is wearing a nice vest
<Sera> * Setsuna tosses the plastic one at the ground in the path of the Illum and takes cover, tossing the other one down by it.
<Nyaomi> <Mem> I'm going to retrieve her memory chip. Right after I eviscerate this asshole for good.
<DeathStar> 6* As Setsuna goes to toss it, an Illium fires at the plastic in mid-air, and ex-plodes it, knocking them all back
<Nyaomi> 6Mem grunts as she's thrown back by the blast and torn up more, but seeming to serve fueling her mood state even more.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta reels as she's knocked back. The explosion also unbalances the elites.
<Sera> * Setsuna grunts, and from her prone position rolls something along the ground hard like she was bowling rolling to one side to move to get up.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia pops out of her cover long enough to shoot a few shots at them, keeping them distracted
<Nyaomi> *core
<DeathStar> 6* The commander spreads his wings and flaps, the rolling going back at them
<DeathStar> 6* The elites block the shots again, as they rebalance
<Nyaomi> 6Mem stands up and drop kicks the something back at him with force against the wing flap
<Sera> * Setsuna grumbles a bit and dives for cover, the thing doesn't go off though.
<Nyaomi> 6Then starts moving forward with a snarl in her throat
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia pops out, firing again, just running annoyance at this point
<Sera> * Setsuna pulls off a belt over her chest and starts doing something with two kunai.
<DeathStar> 6* The Elite Commander stops the wing flap so when Mem kicks it, it sails past him
<DeathStar> 6* The Elite Commanders make a face, one taking the blocking, while the other two begin to get ready to fire, the object sailing past them now
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta begins to dash forward, with her whip
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia blindfires at them from behind her cover, not even bothering to pop out this time
<Sera> * Setsuna peeks, and grunts when Rosetta dashes, not detonating it, she waits a bit more, finishing up her next trick.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta still isn't that close if Setsuna did something, unless it was osme MAJOR explosive
<DeathStar> 6* But by now it's going to sail on by in 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<Sera> * She lets it pass.
<DeathStar> 6* The object goes on out of sight
<Nyaomi> 6Mem starts shifting colors, focused entirely on the commander, her chameleon ability reacting on its own to shift her skin pale, eyes silvery white and hair the same, as if becoming an Illium gone human in appearance, but a sinister glow is building in her eyes similar to when Eluere manipulates machines, her left hand clutching behind her as she charges him.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta leaps at two Illiums and begins to fight for all she has in her, as the Elite Commander 1 advances on Ethia
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta tries to keep them off, but it's clear they're stronger and faster.
<DeathStar> 6* The Commander walks toward Mem, smirking
<DeathStar> <Commander> So the kids turned against you in the end --- how does that feel?
<Nyaomi> 6Mem, going right for him, leaps like an animal, roaring in response as she descends on him.
<Sera> * Setsuna slides out, dashing slow, letting Rosetta keep them busy a moment as she closes the gap, something in either hand.
<Sera> *slow = low
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia hops out of her cover, trying to dash further away from the elite, clearly not a powerhouse in this team, but then again she IS a medic
<DeathStar> 6* The Commander grabs her throat with dashing speed and strength, tightening his metallic like grip, smirking, his wings flapping a bit - it's clear they're not real wings, but add-ons, unlike Chiere. They seem to be adapted as part of their uniforms
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a blast hits him from behind and he drops Mem, surprised; Cassandra, half blown up and missing an arm, and her face bloodied, is propped up by a timid Rita
<DeathStar> 6* Helping her aim
<Sera> * The somethign looks like two lies of wire with Kunai strung into them, a mimicry of Rosetta's whips. She slides in with a sweep, lashing each one out at the Elite's legs, letting them go, projectiles meant to wrap around.
<Sera> *lines, wow
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *aims at the commander while he's down and then fires again*
<Nyaomi> 6Mem spits up somewhat, but especially as she is loosened on and he drops her she clutches him by the throat in return and squeezes, her eyes glowering brighter and channeling through her hand, gazing into him like having a staring contest but frozen.
<DeathStar> 6* The Commander uses his arm guard to block the shot, tryting to keep an eye on Mem and Cassandra; the blast is reflected at Cassandra.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *jerks Rita off to the wide as the shot ricpchets*
<DeathStar> 6* The Elite chases after Ethia, running after her to hunt her down, when a weapon smashes against his faceplate and blinds him
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia takes this opening, running up to him, putting the gun under his chin, and firing
<Sera> * If they hit, they wrap around the Elite's legs and latch on by means of stabbing and cutting Kunai, each of which have paper tags tied to them.
<DeathStar> 6* Rita keeps them down; the Elites with Rosetta and Setsuna pause as they are tangled up a bit, but their metallic wings shift down and cut the lines easily
<DeathStar> 6* The Commander and Mem seem to be having a choking staring contest.
<Sera> Setsuna> "Rose, back!"
<Sera> * As they pause to do so, she makes a Ninpo move and the five tags on each blast fire ninpo.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta pauses, leaping back as the fire attacks their armor, danmaging it. Rita aims Cassandra at the Elitesd
<DeathStar> <Rita> Cassandra blast.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *shifts her aim and thenfiress at one of the elites
<Sera> * Setsuna leaps back out of the way and pulls out her twin ninjato.
<DeathStar> 6* Ethia fires into his damaged faceplate, splattering blue blood about, but he somehow lives, showihng how strong Illium skin/skulls/muscles are
<DeathStar> 6* PEering at Ethia, half his face gone, he reaches and grabs her face.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia adjusts her aim a bit and fires again
<DeathStar> 6* The Elite fighting Ethia falls over dead.
<kalonZombie> 6*Still up through his chin though
<kalonZombie> 6*She slides away from him falling
<DeathStar> 6* The Elite is blasted and falls onto Rosetta's weapon and she curls her whip around the exposed part of the weapon, and cuts into him, slicing out a vital organ
<DeathStar> 6 *The remaining Elite leaps up, as the comamnder begins to strangle Mem, damaging her throat in their staring contest, despite apparantly nothing happening movement wise
<DeathStar> 6 *Sometimes the opposite happening
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining elite touches his armor and it begins to beep
<Sera> * Setsuna hurls a Ninjato at the remaining one. "Aw shit."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *aims at the remaining elite and then fires off a round, intending to blow him through the wall*
<DeathStar> 6* The weapon that hit Ethia's elite looks like a fanta blade
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra fires, and knocks him into the wall, her remaining arm sparking and falling off
<Sera> * Setsuna moves to Rosetta.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *eyebrow twitches, wishing she could rub the bridge of her nose in annoyance.
<DeathStar> 6* The elite explodes in the opposite room, the explosion hitting Mem and the Commander, knocking them out of their stance as they lose contact with each other. The Commander coughs up blood, a scar appearing on his face. He lifts up as Mem is separated from him, Mem having deep wounds over her body, and he stumbles off, falling into a hole
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta blinks at the Commander's wounds appearing, then at Mem
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> ....
<DeathStar> <Rita> What happened here? We saw children leaving and they told us you all were down here fighting the Commander. Haruki's sister was leading them out
<Nyaomi> <Mem> ..." 6she grits her teeth and winces, then spits and wipes her mouth, grinning at the Commander
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> ...Who uses Fanta blades?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Tkkk... quest... ttkkkk... later... evac... tkkk... now."
<Sera> Setsuna> "...There was an overloading weapon... I fucked up. Haruki didn't make it..."
<Nyaomi> 6Mem then makes a face and coughs up blood
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Fuck." 6She hisses, falling to her knees and collapses.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Evac... now... tkkkk..."
<Sera> Setsuna> "Ethia, get her walking."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves over and starts to heal Mem with a combination of the medpack nad her powers
<Sera> Setsuna> "We evac."
<DeathStar> <Rita> A few dragoons - Haruki used them, her sister Hika used them, and two others
<DeathStar> 6* Rita moves over to help lift Mem as Ethia works; Rosetta picks up Cassandra as they move out - a self destruct sequence is heard. Hopefully normal employees in the main offices above will have time to get out
<DeathStar> 6* Rita leads them quickly for the stairs
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Wait, Haruki uses them? *she peers back at the lab8
<Nyaomi> 6The wounds on Mem don't seem to be the main issue with her collapse but a complete lack of her usual vitality and energy reservoir.
<Sera> * Setsuna shifts to check the lab.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...tkkk... pulll... fire alarm... when we....tkkk... reach surface office."
<Sera> Setsuna> "HAruki...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Damaged sunglasses, part of a men in black outfit, an arm....
<DeathStar> 6* An Illium body that's been cooked lying in the corner
<Sera> * Setsuna rushes over, checking for any other signs.
<DeathStar> 6* Move body? Self-destruct is at 1 minute
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves to help Setsuna, because she's the medic dammit
<Sera> * She moves the body.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia helps
<DeathStar> 6* Rita waits with Mem, while Rosetta hurries with the heavy CAsandra up the stairs; reacing the top floor after 15 seconds that it takes the others to move the heavy body, she pulls the fire alarm in the lobby that's all broken up and damaged, moving outside
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...check...car...tkkk.."
<DeathStar> 6* As they move, they find the child dragoon that was held hostage, clearly pushed under the Illium by somehow, and a severely bloodied and dead looking Haruki shielding her, partially cooked herself, her long hair burnt in places, arm so black and damaged it looks useless, and naked and burnt in places, and not breathing
<DeathStar> 6* She's holding the girl tightly, who peers at them, with pink hair
<DeathStar> <Girl> H-Hi
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> Come on, let's get out of here, fast.
<Sera> Setsuna> "Ethia, the girl, I'll carry Haruki."
<DeathStar> 6* The count down hits 40 seconds as Rosetta gets Cassandra over to the car that she indicates, seeing Mars is alive and patches her up, setting Cassandra on top of Fiore
<kalonZombie> 6*She holds her arms out to the girl
<kalonZombie> <Ethia> I'm a doctor, okay? I'm good.
<Sera> * Setsuna lifts the body and tosses down a ninpo, a temporary, but fast burning ninja speed boost for them both and runs with Haruki.
<DeathStar> 6* 30 seconds as they reach the stairs again.
<Nyaomi> 6Mem punches the floor and gets up beside Rita. 1"Shit. Go."
<DeathStar> 6* Rita jerks and nods, moving to lead the others up the stairs
<DeathStar> <Rita> Follow me for a shortcut
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia takes the girl and runs like hell for the shuttle
<Sera> * Setsuna nods and follows Rita.
<DeathStar> 6* Rita goes through employee only doors
<Nyaomi> 6Mem follows, limping along after Rita. Her wounds looking better thanks to Ethia but it seems like her normally wolverinesque regeneration isn't functioning.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia follows Rita
<DeathStar> 6* Rita hurries along, and at 10 seconds, passing workers who are hurrying along in a panic, reaches an emergency exit, 10 people ahead of them trying to crowd out - the noises in the lobby indicate that it's a good thing, as it sounds like everyone is trying to get out that way. Rosetta drives the car over, puttering along and smoking, out front, watching with wide eyes at everyone trying to get out the front, wondering how the team will get out
<DeathStar> 6* Rita whines, hopping up and down - 8 seconds, and 8 people
<DeathStar> <Rita> Hurry, please--
<DeathStar> 6* A fat guy gets stuck, pushing women out of his way
<DeathStar> 6* 5 seconds
<DeathStar> 6* Fat guy still stuck, 3 seconds.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia shoves him out
<Sera> * Setsuna grunts and starts pressing them to move faster, guiding assassin style, she pushes the fat guy through
<DeathStar> 6* The fat guy pops out into the alley, 2 seconds. Rita hops out
<Sera> * Setsuna hops out.
<DeathStar> 6* The other people, screaming in fear, try to get out after her.
<DeathStar> 6* 1 second.
<DeathStar> 6* Rita hurries along the alley toward the front
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethia hurries with Rita
<Sera> * Setsuna runs for it after Rita.
<DeathStar> 6* 0 seconds. The building explodes, sending Mem flying out, and the building begins to collapse sideways and toward the car out front, a dust cloud flying out, people screaming.
<DeathStar> -TBC-
<DeathStar> Dun dun, the other group
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Katrina is waiting outside a door as Miyuki and Kasha foxhole up. Ulieah is there too
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> we got a...pair of joy
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Ulieah blinks a bit.
<DeathStar> <Chain> 6*she gestures to the girl and pops her down, with her manga
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "Kay."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* The real one waves; the duplicate sneers
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Duplicate> More weirdos
<DeathStar> <Nyaomi> <Kasha> Eehhh..
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* The real one takes her manga preciously
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> Quite or I dont show you how to drive
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's battle is going on right now
<DeathStar> <Chain> quiet^
<DeathStar> <Nyaomi> <Kasha> I hope we can be friends..
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* The real one smiles at Kasha
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Real One> I hope so to--- <Dupliocate> She's suckering oyu
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> Wheres the others and how much time do we have
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "Suckering? We're the good guys."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, using Kasha's advice, finishes her battle
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <KAtrina> Zephyr is fighting her arcana last I was plugged in; with that keycard, we can reach a shuttle one floor up
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Duplicate> whatever; we'll see.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> But there's vents to this room, so they should joion us when we're done
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "We should get it ready. I don't like staying here."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> should we enter? I unlocked rthe door
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> Ok, lets start moving the others to the pods
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her hand on the door to the test chanmber; the real one opens her mouth
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Real One> OH yeah, I should tell you my name
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Real One> It's Gemi
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> Ok Gemi, I'm Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "Gemi huh..."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Duplicate> I'm typically Emi
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides the door open and inside is the test chambers; the scientists were sent elsewhere by Katrina, but that won't last long; inside are floating children, all still young at tihs point, around 6-12. Non accelerated to 24 yet.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "Will take time to load all these."
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> We dont have time
<DeathStar> <Chain> 6*Miyuki closes her eyes and grits her teeth as she clones herself as many times as she can
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> Do we take htem out, or take the test tube?
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Gemi> If we wake them up, they should be fine --- but I can't say what their powers will do once awakened without supervision---
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> Lets keep them in it, if we get bumped it;ll afford them some extra protection
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* She pauses as Zephyr, Q, and Mick arrive in the vent with the spider girl. Zephyr can be heard asking her name
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Ulieah> "I don't like the idea of killing them. Enemy product or not."
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Girl> Gemi? Emi?
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Gemi> Hi!
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* She waves. Emi shrugs but seems pleased to see another of their kind
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Miyuki> I never said that, just I'd rather them be safer in the tube than out
<DeathStar> <AquaDerp> *Qayin rubs his head and helps Miyu
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <KAtrina> The plan is not to kill them.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> It's why we're keeping them in the tube.
<DeathStar> <Chain> 6*The Miyu clones and Qay load them
<DeathStar> <Chain> 6*The girl, Juni hugs her
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Uieah nods.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> *She shows Miyu clones the bay one floor up so they can fox hole up; they find it deserted and a big shuttle to load them in
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Cameras on loop
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Gemi returns the hug
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Ulieah helps as best she can.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> My concerrn is the 24 activated ones; how do we get them out>?
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Jumi> Thats easy
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> It is?
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watchs Miyki worriedly, hugging onto KAsha
<DeathStar> <Chain> 6*Jumi nods and makes a face as she communicates to them
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Katrina> Well they agree to help us though
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Jumi> <OH MY GOD SOMETHING CUTE TO PET!>
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> *will
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * ULieah frowns and watches warily.
<DeathStar> <kalonZombie> 6*Mick slowly wobbles towards the group, leaning on Qayn for support
<DeathStar> <Chain> <Jumi><It has like a bazillion fluffy tails>
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Gemi giggles; not all of them are interested in cute things, but a good many are curious and begin to head toward the room as they unload the tubes up to the shuttle. So far everything is going well, but with cameras on loop, a good portion of the 24 on the way, and even some wondering why some are oging and following suspiciously....
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Well, in the finale of THIS mission, anyhthing can happen
* DeathStar shows belly
* Chain rubs
* kalonZombie rubs
* Sera rubs
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks around as the clones and Qay are nearly done loading the children into the shuttle that Katrina found in the background, and the activated 24 year old ones are almost into the hanger, where they transported the test tubes with Miyuki's powers - all this has left her completely drained - taking the test tubes through shadows and using clones, meaning that the group has to protect her, and the children (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Jumi has summoned them with the cute comment, but only some have come to see the cute thing - most have come out of suspicion. How will they convince them to join them, and can they use them to find the real Cheryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks about, and Gemi speaks up, Emi scowling about
<DeathStar> <Gemi> They're nearly here now
<Sera> * Ulieah whispers to the air gently.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The shuttle is done being loaded. *The clone is putting the last one in*
<Chain> 6*Jumi gives a cheery smile
<Chain> <Jumi> Come on trust me~
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll go get the shuttle activated.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves up to the shuttle, having practiced flying from Iceheart, who they'll need to pick up at the resort once they bust out of there, and Freyja.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods, fanning herself with what she can
<DeathStar> (And Elwyn)
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <You okay?>
<Sera> Ulieah> "Be ready for anything... I think? All those coming this way... someone will notice."
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick moves into the shuttle
<Chain> <Miyuki> Really drained... I need to rest but I dont think I'll be able to pull off any heroics
<Chain> <Jumi><Hey none of the 'parents' are following you ok, they'll spoil it>
<DeathStar> <Gemi> Fighting our parents wouldn't be easy either; they are tough
<DeathStar> 6* The doors to the hanger open and 5 24 year old Cherylish girls walk in - all various looks and powers, which Chain can describe, clearly based on the Arcana.
<DeathStar> 6* Their weapons, which appear like a dragoon, are all varied as well
<DeathStar> 6* Gemi waves cutely
<Sera> * Ulieah peers over quietly.
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> So many new characters...
<Chain> 6*this is a tall order but many are based off the higher Arcana such as the fool, tempest, the world and even death but purely their meaning though some aesthetics play a part as holy hell Death looks like a goth punk in black pvc that clings very nicely
<Chain> <Jumi> Hihi~
<DeathStar> 6* The leader of the group, Death, crosses her arms, the goth punk peering them over. Despite her looks, she speaks clearly, with a bit of tude.
<DeathStar> <Death C> What's going on Jumi - Gemi.
<DeathStar> <Death C> Who are these people and why haven't you captured them already?
<Chain> <Jumi> These ladies are gonna take us to see momma!
<Sera> * Ulieah whispers to the air again, her pink hair shifting in a bit of wind.
<Chain> 6*Jumi bounces excitedly over to Miyuki and plays with all her tails
<Chain> <Jumi> and look how fluffy these are~!
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick stands there, rubbing the back of his head
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> You newbies starting something?
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha sniffs and brings up her hands like a boxer. 1"I'll take you."
<DeathStar> <Death C> How can they take us to see momma? <Zephyr> I'm her sister - I'm Zephyr. If you look at me, you can see the relation. *She steps forward.* I might look differnet, but it's in my eyes. We believe if enough of you gather, we can find her with your hlelp - the Illium are just using you, from stolen eggs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I want to make a family with you all, not use you
<Chain> <Miyuki> Ora Kasha knock it off
<DeathStar> <Death C> ... you're kidding
<DeathStar> 6* Death C snorts.
<Chain> <Jumi> Nah uh, they have a lot more info
<DeathStar> <Emi> That's what I'm saying.
<DeathStar> 6* More gather and look at them listening, soon all 12 of them there*
<DeathStar> 6* Then the twelve 12 year old that are activated show up
<Chain> 6*Jumi is all wrapped up in DAT FLUFF, Miyuki huffs weakly
<DeathStar> 6* They see the tails of Kasha and move up to play with the tails
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Ha! Adorable.
<Sera> Ulieah> "Together love power can beat all."
<DeathStar> 6* One looks like a tiny Cheryl right down to the details
<Chain> 6*murmurs of adorable, soft and such are heard
<DeathStar> <Death C> Oh great, the midget is here. *She eyes the duplicate of Cheryl - one has to wonder why they made one look exactly like Cheryl when all the rest are varied*
<DeathStar> 6* And why she's 12, not 24*
<Chain> 6*Jumi tries to think of something else to entice the rest
<DeathStar> <Death C> We have work to do here, why would we want to see mother?
<Chain> <Jumi><One had massive titties?>
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Eh! Quit playing with my tails! Brats! Aghh!
<DeathStar> 6* The 12 year olds listen, and most seem inclined to do so.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Look why would you wanna work
<Sera> Ulieah> "Why wouldn't you want to see your mother...? I know I miss mine..."
<DeathStar> <Death C> Never met her, don't care.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Cheryl was really big on kids, she had one of her own and I'm sure she'd wanna see all of you
<DeathStar> 6* Death C peers at Miyuki
<DeathStar> (*Death plots to kill the legitmate heir*)
<Chain> <Miyuki> Besides she didnt have a choice on concieving you. Nor giving you away
<DeathStar> <Death C> The Illium give us everything we need here. Going with you means we have nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Gemi holds up manga
<DeathStar> <Gemi> They said we'd get things
<Chain> <Miyuki> Isnt that narrow minded?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can only promise you a family - it won't be easy, and well be hunted, but we'll give you what we can - and we'll offer love.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And you can live the lives you want to live
<DeathStar> 6* Gemi sulks
<Chain> 6*Miyuki rises up. Jumi sitting on her shoulders
<DeathStar> <Gemi> I just--want to read new things
<DeathStar> 6* She looks hurt
<Chain> <Miyuki> Unless youre scared of change, then fine stay where its 'safe, familioar and stagnant'
<DeathStar> 6* One of the girls speak up. "I sense the Illium coming; if we're going to go, we need to now."
<DeathStar> 6* Death C jerks
<DeathStar> <Death C> I am not scared of change!
<Sera> Ulieah> "I might could hold them off with Fenrir for a while... but it wouldn't be long."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods
<DeathStar> <Death C> Things change, old ways die, old timer
<Chain> <Miyuki> Then make your choice
<DeathStar> 6* Death C sniffs
<DeathStar> 6* Death C eyes her, then shrugs, walking to the shuttle
<Chain> <Jumi> Yay~ come on everyone!
<DeathStar> 6* Others see her go, and follow
<DeathStar> 6* Emi groans and walks up after her; the 12 year olds gang pile Kasha and her tails
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick smiles and follows
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Graaahhh!!
<Sera> * Ulieah steps up onto the shuttle, nodding and whispering to air again.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki deadpans as Jumi stears her by the ears
<DeathStar> 6* The tiny Cheryl looks around, holding up her hands to be held
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha trudges to the shuttle like she's wading through a swamp
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, done with flight checks, smirks from her pilot seat, watching the external cameras.
<Sera> * Ulieah blinks and picks her up.
<DeathStar> 6* Midget, as she's called, claps
<Sera> Ulieah> *wobbles, a waif*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki blinks at the small one
<Chain> <Miyuki> Come on
<DeathStar> 6* Death C sits down, arms crossed, in the back, peering at the doors as the shuttle ramp closes as Ulieah barely gets Midget up the ramp
<Sera> * Ulieah carries her into the shuttle all wobbily comical.
<Sera> Ulieah> "Must... carry... cute."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Lets get out of here
<Sera> Ulieah> "Reminds a little of my little sis..." *she sighs softly and sets her down and sits next to her*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lifts up the shuttle, right as alarms go off, and the hanger doors begin to shut. Katrina flips the shield so they can go up into the ocean above and hits boosters, but the weight of the tubes for the unwaken arcana children is slowing them as they head for the closing hanger doors.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hang on...
<DeathStar> 6* Midget smiles, then peers out a window at the closing hanger doors and wailing alarms.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces as the shuttle shakes from the weight and booster speed, the hanger doors closing rapidly as they get closer - the timing going to be close
<Chain> <Miyuki> fuck, Mick help me secure these more, I'm not having them crack
<Sera> * Ulieah whispers to the wind and outside the shuttle, a Wind Summon appears, helping the shuttle go faster.
<DeathStar> <Emi> And we all crash and die, ending our glorious quest for mother and freedom. <Gemi> You're way negative.
<DeathStar> 6* The real one and duplicate glare at each other
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick helps Miyuki out
<DeathStar> (Wind in an underwater base?)
<kalonZombie> <Mick> No problem Miyuki.
<Chain> 6*Jumi looks about
<Chain> <Jumi> come on, they need our help~
<DeathStar> 6* Many of the older arcana girls help out
<DeathStar> 6* Death C moves to do so as well as does Gemi
<Sera> (Just till they get through the doors, then she'll call Undine.))
<Sera> ((Sorry, for her it's Slyph.))
<DeathStar> 6* The wind picks up and pushes, and they barely squeeze through into the ocean, a scraping sound heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Once in the ocean, they see Illium subs heading for them, lockiing on and Katrina flips off the warnings from them
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're about to be fired on.
<Chain> 6*One of the girls reels at the noise, a bit of a snobby prep look
<Sera> * The Wind summon, Aether, vanishes, flowing into the water as Slyph takes it's place, Ulieah looks tired as it forms and starts to cause trouble for the subs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina messages Iceheart, Freyja, and Elwyn back at the resort to be packed up and ready for pick up
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina boosts forward and up out of the water, flying over the ocean toward the beach
<Chain> <Fortune C> Ugh how useless...need me to summon some wheels for this paddle boat
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not yet - but if any of you can deal with the shuttles that will be waiting for us, and space vessels, please come up front
<DeathStar> 6* She says over the intercomm
<Chain> 6*Jumi skips to the front
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps out of the resort inn, with their luggage and waits on the beach with Freyja and Elwyn; Zephyr has formed her dragoon bustah, peering out to see what she can do
<Sera> Ulieah> "Need a bit to recover to call Quez..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lowers the back ramp, slowing down and stopping at the beach; Illium soldiers can be seen heading toward them as Iceheart hurries aboard, pulling her wife and daughter and she hits the ramp closed button, Katrina lifting up before the soldiers reach them.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You pissed some people off.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers over at Miyuki
<Chain> <Miyuki> Hello to you too
<Nyaomi> <Elwyn> What's going on?" 6She mumbles.
<Sera> * Ulieah has her eyes closed, some power felt as she uses Zen Meditation to start restoring herself so she can call another friend.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I grabbed you and Kasha's clothing and supplies from your room
<Chain> <Miyuki> Thanks
<DeathStar> 6* As Katrina rises for the clouds, 3 Illium attack vessels show up - dangerous to the shuttle; their speed and attack power are better than the Illium shuttle they are in. Katrina powers up shields and weapons, and motions for anyone who wants guns to take them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims out the window with her dragoon bustah, taking aim as the vessels take up attack formation to pin their shuttle to damage and force it down
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Don't look at me, I can't fly worth a shit.
<Chain> 6*One of the girls, Strength grumbles and places her hands on the shuttle glowing a little to reinforce
<Chain> <Jumi> You can shoot cant you?
<Sera> * Ulieah holds out her hands, whispering as she calls first Quez, a Lightning Blasting Gryphon, and then Aether back to her aid, if she can do the double summon, otherwise just Quez, and they start attacking the attack vessels, focusing on one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires out the window, hitting one of the attack vessels, damaging it's shields to 0% and slowing it considerablely from damage. The other two fire at them while the hit one recovers, but the reinforced shields are hioolding
<Sera> * They focus on Zephyr's target.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pants, as the attacked one begins to lag behind from being hit, leaving only two. Katrina breaks the atmosphere into space, and Katrina works on hyperspace coordinates.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll need 1 minute to make a jump, and they won't need that long to end us
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle rumbles as they pummel them, the shields holding thanks to the reinforcement so far.
<Chain> <Strength> I can hold on for one more big hit but I'll be knocked out after that, you pissed off a lot of them
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Zephyr-- can we do something about it?
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'm tapped out Kasha
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, and grabs Kasha, running for the ramp and hits the lower ramp, leaping into space
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> You are, I'm not.
<Sera> Ulieah> *keeps whispering* My limit is two at a time... need more help...
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart jerks as they all begin to get sucked out with the two and closes the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Kasha to her, and the two form a fox dragon mech in space
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I wish they would warn us when they do crazy shit
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Ready Kasha?> *she asks as Kasha appears inside her*
<Sera> * The two summons swing around to get ready to join another attack.
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Hell yeah.
<Chain> 6*Jumi huffs as she coccoons the unborn
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick holds his head, curling up in his seat a bit "Oh fuck not now please not now god damn"
<Chain> <Miyuki> whats wrong
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Horrible migrane... could you all please think less loudly?
<Chain> <Miyuki> A little hard when we might die dont you think
<DeathStar> 6* With no one taking guns, the shuttle is being pounded on, but as Zephyasha appears, one breaks off, as the shuttle's shields reach 20% - leaving only one to harrass them
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Sorry...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's a good break *she focuses on dodging one's attacks8u
<DeathStar> 6* Death C eyes Mick, thinking hard about death*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flies in at one vessel, forming Kasha like weapons
<Chain> <Jumi> Look we'll all shut up if you take the guns
<DeathStar> <Katrina> 35 seconds left.
<Sera> * Aether and Quez join Zerphyr's attack, coming in with sheering blasts of air that cut through the vaccuum and bolts of lightning.
<kalonZombie> <Mick> I can't, not like this, it's too fucking loud and I can't do anything to stop it.
<Chain> <Miyuki> What usually does!?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes a space cruiser jump in ahead, and curses loudly, unusual for her. Iceheart blinks, peering at Chii and Freyja - chii came along too when they got on
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Time... but they've been getting longer and longer...
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I think Katrina's stressed. *she moves and takes the pilot seat* I'll take over
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Just a little
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thanks
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart jerks and thrusts forward on the controls, doing elaborate dodges. Zephyr flies in at the ship attacking them, dodging attacks, and gets in close so Kasha can attack with weapons formed that she's comfortable using
<Sera> Ulieah> "At limit... if call off summons might be able to bring in... Him...."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now!
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha usually uses her hands, when she does actually make a weapon, it's a gigantic, squared-off blade zanbato.
<DeathStar> k6* Ulieah's attacks hit the shields, so far not piercing
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha makes use of the opportunity to try crushing the ship with it
<DeathStar> 6* The zanbato hits the shields, and for a moment a flicker of an opening apepars
<Sera> * The Summons blast at the opening.
<DeathStar> 6* Right as the ship fires, hitting Zephyr, damaging her right side; the summons hit the opening, damaging the hull and blasting a hole, taking out the shields. Zephyr's side has a gaping hole, but the enemy's shields are ghone and they have a hole.
<DeathStar> <katrina> 15 seconds. Zephyr, Kasha - you need to get back to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets Kasha know they have time for one attack, and then they need to speed back for the shuttle; Iceheart dodges the remaining enemy on them, keeping an eye on the battle cruiser heading for them
<Sera> * Aether pauses, and starts drawing the air out of the ship to power itself. While Quez starts archign lightning into it.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Everyone, buckle in - no more walking around
<Chain> 6*Miyuki grumbles thinking of everyone potentially more useful
<DeathStar> 6* Aether fails for whatever reason
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick buckles up
<Chain> 6*Miyuki and the girls buckle in
<kalonZombie> 6*He then looks over at Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* Death C and the other adults finish buckling in the tubes more, and they begin to buckle in
<kalonZombie> <Mick> ...Who was that?
<Chain> <Miyuki> What/
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Black girl. Who was that?
<DeathStar> 6* Death focuses on making an illusion of the shuttle exploding to the enemy vessel
<Chain> 6*the tubes are all nice and padded with webbing
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha focuses chi into her blade through Zephyr and makes a speed burst slash attack on the shuttle before retreating
<Nyaomi> shuttle~ship
<Chain> <Miyuki> Madison
<Sera> * The Summons blink out.
<Chain> <Miyuki> The hell how are you ---forget it what does it even matter right now?
<kalonZombie> <Mick> ...I swear to god if you introduce me migrane or no next time we get in a heavy situation like this I'll kill every last damn Illium myself.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship is hit by lighting and damaged along the hull, lights flickering, and then the speed flash cuts it deeply, leaving it depowered in space, and multiple explosions as Zephyr speeds back
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> 10, 9....
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Chii, get ready to open the ramp on my mark, then close it once they're in
<Chain> <Miyuki> IF WE LIVE SURE
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If the ramp is open when we leap into hyperspace, we all die
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> The rest of you shut up so Chii can focus on my mark
<Chain> 6*Miyuki grumbles internally
<Sera> * Ulieah quietly touches the wall of the ship.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr tries to catch up to the shuttle as Iceheart reaches 8, 7 - the enemy super ship fires at Death's fake vision, missing them - it would have vaped them if she didn't do it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> 6, 5--- MARK!
<Nyaomi> 6Chii does it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to detransform, holding Kasha as they are flung with momentum toward the ramp as it lowers inside
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> 4, 3 - MARK
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha jerks and kisses Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and KAsha slam inside with gravitry, Kasha having some frost on her from the 1 second in space
<Nyaomi> 6Chii closes the ramp as they enter
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, completely naked, returns the kiss
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick watches
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> 2, 1, 0--- 6* Iceheart pulls a lever and they leap into hyperspace, swirls of color
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Alright, resume talking
<Chain> <Miyuki> Wanna save some of that for me 6*ear and tail twitch
<Sera> * Ulieah collapses.
<DeathStar> 6* In hyperspace, everything is stable
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blushes
<DeathStar> <Gemi> Wow, you shave everywhere. *She leans forward to see. *The 12 year olds peer over*
<kalonZombie> <Mick> Now if you excuse me I need someplace dark, quiet, and as far away from as many people as possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Midget opens her eyes wide
<kalonZombie> 6*He clutches his head again
<Chain> 6*Miyuki reels and covers Zephyr and Kasha
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Mick, wondering if she try to help him, being psionic
<Sera> * Ulieah drools a bit, looking out of it. Too much energy and spirit used at once.
<DeathStar> 6* Emi pokes Ulieah a few times
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Sera> * Ulieah's leg kicks
<DeathStar> 6* Arriving at a temporary headquarters they set up to see if they were followed, they find a message from "Oracle", aka Aya's callsign. This base, not their main one, is small, not nearly big enough to accomodate all the little ones
<DeathStar> 6* The message reads simply:
<DeathStar> "Come to my location immediately. Spatial distortions detected. Also Illium has developed new weapon that could be end of us all. If you finished your mission, bring the little ones with you. Will find safe place for them."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at the message, then at Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Rare for Aya to want us to go to her place.
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Must be big potatoes
<kalonZombie> 6*Mick's migrane is gone, though it took quite a while
<Sera> * Ulieah, recovering, mews.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do we go? *She asks Miyu, the leader*
<Sera> Ulieah> "Get to see cuties..."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Theres no way we can keep the girls in one spot for long
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at the arcana girls, knowing they'll be safer with Aya*
<Sera> Ulieah> "Did... she know we were going to be taking these girls?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Aya can do a better job... I just want to be with them as long as I can. Aya will let me visit I hope
<Chain> <Miyuki> They'll track us eventually so its best if we move after we restock
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Aya knows us
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Even if Aya doesn't take them all, she can take some of them
<Chain> <Miyuki> Recon anyone stayed here on the temp base?
<Sera> * Ulieah nods.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We haven't been here in months, but yeah. Iceheart and Kat did.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> There's supplies here and med supplioes - enough to get us to Aya's in 3 days.
<Chain> <Miyuki> I mean currently
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Iceheart is reconing it right now
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No sign we were followed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But if this is serious, I suggest we only stay long enough to refuel and get food, then go
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We can sleep on the shuttle
<Sera> Ulieah> "The shuttle... any chance it's tagged?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me and Kasha and Iceheart went over it - we removed all tags,
<Chain> <Miyuki> Then lets do it now
<Sera> * Ulieah nods. "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr nods and kisses Miyuki's cheek; Iceheart sends over the comm the base is clean from her recon.
<DeathStar> -END FOR NOW-
