<DeathStar> Date: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Ruins
<DeathStar> 6* As they use the key and enter, they find themselves in a square room with no exit, seemingly, the walls looking high tech with pulsing green lights
<Seraphna> *A ero peers about. "Another puzzle?"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart frowns. "I don't see anything that looks like a puzzle."
<Seraphna> * Aero skates along the walls, looking for something.
<DeathStar> 6* As she moves along the walls, there's a slight shimmer from the north west wall
<Seraphna> * Aero skates over to it, feeling about.
<DeathStar> 6* Her hand passes through
<Seraphna> Aero> "Over here!"
<Jackieness> <XX> "A holographic wall then?"
<Seraphna> * Aero nods and pulls out a blaster, she peeks in carefully.
<Jackieness> <XX> *readies her buster and moves in behind Aero*
<DeathStar> 6* A mechanical dragon leaps through it and on her, biting down at her head
<Seraphna> * Aero squeaks and falls back to avoid the bite, onto her butt, she shoots at it, the rockets onher skates pushing her backwards.
<Jackieness> <XX> *aims at the mecha dragon and fires at it*
<DeathStar> 6* The double combo strikes the dragon and Iceheart throws an ice pick at it, knocking it off; it explodes and strange gems fall out
<Kizio> <Null> ... Now what is going on?
<Seraphna> Aero> "Zenny!" *she leaps, grabbing them all with $'s in her eyes*
<Jackieness> <XX> "Zenny?"
<Seraphna> Aero> "We use them as money."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> The future must be hell if the currency is called zenny...
<DeathStar> 6* She walks through the invisible wall into a hallway, and eyes lasers moving up and down in patterns
<Jackieness> <XX> "They appear to be gems."
<Seraphna> Aero> "I-I guess so. What's wrong with Zenny?" *she sighs and heads after Iceheart*
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves through the holographic wall as well*
<Seraphna> Aero> "THere are sometimes switches on the other side to turn these things off."
<Kizio> <Null> ... sigh, stupid autorepair.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Which one of you wants to risk it?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Can't I just teleport across?"
<Seraphna> Aero> "Teleporting might work now that we're inside."
<Jackieness> <XX> *tries to teleport to the other side past the lasers*
<Kizio> <Null> I can. Not like it matters if I get blown to hell again.
<DeathStar> 6* XX finds herself unable to teleport
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Those are moving kind of fast for that slow body, Null
<Seraphna> Aero> "We could hurl Null across."
<Jackieness> <XX> "My teleportations is being damapened."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Would the body make it past all the lasers?
<Kizio> <Null> It doesn't matter if it does, does it? It's not mine.
<Jackieness> <XX> "And Null, we are taking that slow body back for examination when we get out of this. Its a treasure-trove!"
<Kizio> <Null> It's a piece of shit.
<Jackieness> <XX> "A technologically advanced piece of shit."
<Seraphna> Aero> "You all don't seem that inferior to me."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Find, you, fast one, you go through the beams.
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF AERO
<DeathStar> 6* Up, down, Down, Up, Down, Down, Slide, Up, Jump

<DeathStar> 6* Aero makes it and finds a lever
<Seraphna> * Aero tugs it down.
<Seraphna> * Or whichever direction it goes.
<DeathStar> 6* The beams turn off; Iceheart moves quickly and past Aero into the next room. Floating in the center of the room is some strange device like a blaster. There's a door to the north that's been blown open by force
<Seraphna> Aero> "I think they went that way!"
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves through to the next room* "If they came through here, then why are all of these traps still intact?"
<Seraphna> Aero> "Door opening with the key might reset some of the traps."
<Seraphna> Aero> "It's more like an override hack that we used then a real key... the Ancients didn't need keys."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Why leave that I wonder
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the buster
<Jackieness> <XX> "Regardless, what is that gun looking thing and how do we get past it?"
<DeathStar> 6* They can walk around it and ignore it if they want
<Seraphna> * Aero skates over to the blaster and frowns, looking it over.
<Seraphna> Aero> "Mega should have taken this..."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Why?
<Seraphna> * Aero looks worried, reaching out to see if she can touch it. "We're treasure hunters, he's supposed to take upgrades."
<Kizio> <Null> I bet XX wants that gun-looking thing.
<Jackieness> <XX> "...yessssssss..."
<Kizio> <Null> Thought so.
<Kizio> <Null> She's really developed a taste for them since going to that Neo Arcadia place.
<Kizio> 6Null peers at XX suspiciously. 1"You were so rigid when we turned you on."
<Jackieness> <XX> "I seek perfection."
<DeathStar> 6* Aero is able to touch it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> How will you know when you reach perfection though?
<Seraphna> * Aero takes it, looking it over.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to hook onto a certain type of reploid
<Jackieness> <XX> "Perfection is an ideal. It gives me soemthing to work toward while also being inherently unachievable, therefore assuring that I keep seeking it out."
<Seraphna> Aero> "It's the flaw of a treasure hunter." *she frowns, checking to see if it'll hook to one of her expansion ports*
<DeathStar> 6* With some tinkering; though it looks like it could hook to XX easier
<Seraphna> * Aero hrms and skates over to XX, inspecting her ports.
<Seraphna> * Totally not sexual, maybe.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, it almost seems more designed for her and Mega than Aero
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks at Aero*
<Seraphna> * Aero installs it on XX. "There, you have a new blaster... wierd, you have the same ports that he does."
<Seraphna> Aero> "ARE YOU HIS SECRET LOVER!?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<DeathStar> 6* XX gains Portal Gun
<Seraphna> * Aero huffs suspiciously and skates over. "We should move on."
<Jackieness> <XX> "I don't even know him!!!!"
<Seraphna> Aero> "Sure, sure." *she doesn't believe her*
<Jackieness> <XX>
<Jackieness> <XX> ...let's just keep moving...
<Seraphna> * Aero nods and peers down the next hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the next area, they find a large number of pirates in there, with Servbots flooding the area, and a girl with her strange brother with red eyes, yelling about intruders beating them. They have the exit blocked off ahead
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ... what the hell?
<Seraphna> Aero> "Bonnes."
<Jackieness> <XX> "What are they doing in our way?"
<Kizio> <Null> Blast 'em.
<Seraphna> Aero> "I think they're trying to keep people from coming out. Hold on."
<DeathStar> 6* The Bonnes seem to be ripping up anything they can get their hands on. The leader seems to be holding a glowing blade he found
<Seraphna> Aero> "Hey Tron!!!"
<DeathStar> 6* There's a silenec as they all turn to face them, the male's red eyes blinking. "More intruders!?!?"
<DeathStar> 6* The female blinks at Aero, studying her
<Seraphna> Aero> "Oh hush Teisel."
<Kizio> <Null> ...
<Jackieness> <XX> "Don't do a thing, Null."
<Seraphna> Aero> "We're after the intruders. Let us through."
<DeathStar> <Teisel> Y-You're ordering me around?!
<DeathStar> 6* He advances with the giant sword
<Seraphna> Aero> "Tron, tell your bozo brother to back off, Mega is in trouble!"
<DeathStar> <Teisel> I am the most feared pirate in all these islands! <Tron> H-He's what? 6* She takes a mallet and hits Teisel, who falls over, the sword sliding against Null's foot
<Jackieness> <XX> "There, Null. A consolation prize that suits your current physical form."
<Seraphna> * Aero nods. "Some ancestor Reavers are after him and the treasure."
<Kizio> <Null> ...
<DeathStar> <Tron> ... come on! We're going after Mega. 6* She orders some hapless servbots, getting into a giant mech that towers over them, then turns and marches ahead down the hallway, the bots following, flailing their stubby arms
<Kizio> 6Null glares at XX and hrmphs, then picks it up.
<Seraphna> * Aero skates along after them.
<DeathStar> 6* It glows with power
<Jackieness> <XX> *follows*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart follows and Tiesel leaps up in their path. "Not so fast! You're not getting the treasure before me!"
<DeathStar> 6* Tiesel hops into a tank like device and aims at them
<Kizio> <Null> Do I look like I give a shit about a treasure?
<Kizio> <Null> Don't make me come up there, old man.
<DeathStar> <Tiesel> O-Old man?! 6 * His face begins to turn red. "Did you call me an old man!?!?"
<Seraphna> * Aero grumbles and grabs the mallet, tossing it at him. "Let us go or I'm sicking your sister on you."
<Seraphna> Aero> "And I'll call BARRET."
<DeathStar> 6* Tiesel is hit and then aims the tank and fires at Aero and Null, sputtering. A giant blast flies at them
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Move!
<Seraphna> * Aero skates away from the blast.
<Seraphna> * Aero grapples at Null and tugs her after.
<DeathStar> 6* Null is slide aside as the blast hits the wall, shaking the room. Pieces of the ceiling begin to fall down around them as Tiesel floors it, trying to run XX over
<Kizio> <Null> What the hell was that?
<Jackieness> <XX> *fire the portal gun at the ground under Tiwesel's feet then at the ceiling right above*
<Seraphna> Aero> "Grrrr... spank him!"
<DeathStar> 6* Tiesel falls down the hole and crashes upside down, defeated
<DeathStar> 6* Some gems pop out and a strange orb
<Jackieness> <XX> "Fascinating." *approaches the orb*
<Seraphna> * Aero skates by, takes them, then skates down the hall.
<Seraphna> Aero> "Treasure! Get!"
<Jackieness> <XX> *grabs the orb and moves after Aero*
<Kizio> <Null> She's as bad as the pirates...
<DeathStar> 6* As they move down the hallway, they find fried Servbots all over, faces red and smoking from traps they disarmed - with their bodies
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ... I'm guessing these are the metools of their day
<Seraphna> * Aero sniffles and salutes as they pass. "Good work, 34, 12, 14, 17, 22, and 8."
<Kizio> <Null> Looks like it...
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> How do you know so much about these pirates? 6* She asks Aero suspiciously
<Seraphna> Aero> "Mmm? Always need to know a rival gang. I'm part of the Bright Bats."
<Jackieness> <XX> "We need to continue forward."
<Kizio> <Null> The ... Bright.... Bats...
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart walks past the bodies down the long hallway. She mouths the word to herself mostly, pausing as they reach a new room and down below Tron is battling what appears to be a giant mechanical monster that's been Mavericked. The beast stands at 30 feet of height and 20 of width, with great big arms, and a single eye
<Seraphna> * Aero is continuing as she talks! "Yeah, we're a part of the Garrett family, you could say we're the civil side to the whole treasure hunting game. While the Bonne family is the wilderness and ocean rulers."
<DeathStar> 6* The eye fires a beam at Tron's mech and throws her into a wall
<Seraphna> Aero> "Tron!!!" *she charges her gun and starts to move in* "Sh-Shoot the eye!"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Hmmm." *moves forward then fire a portal above the monster, then another portal on the floor before dropping down*
<DeathStar> 6* The portal is much to small for such a giant beast to fall through and he walks over it easily, swinging an arm out and striking Aero into a wall
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flips down as the eye beam wears down, forming her spikes
<Seraphna> * Aero cries out as she hits the wall, whimpering.
<DeathStar> 6* Tron tries to move her mech, which sparks, while Iceheart begins to circle
<Seraphna> * Aero sniffs and charges her gun still, waiting for a good shot at the eye.
<Kizio> 6Null eyes her new sword and mumbles, firing clumsy shots from the borrowed body at the eye
<Jackieness> <XX> *drops down on top of the monster* "You want something to attack, then come at me!"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Null's old body is finally repaired and ready for use
* Chain has joined #ClassSession39
<DeathStar> 6* The monster turns, the shots missing, and it looks upward, swinging a hand up to try to grab XX off the head
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves, trying to evade the hand while also keeping its attention on her*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart throws an ice pick at the eye but it bounces off, too weak to penetrate
* Aqua-Koala has joined #ClassSession39
<DeathStar> 6* The monster's hand snakes around it's own head as it chases XX
<Seraphna> * Aero pulls herself up, skating to get in range for a shot while it's busy with XX, aiming and firing a charged shot for it's eye.
<Jackieness> <XX> "You are too slow! Too slow!" *hops over where its arm has already snaked around*
<Kizio> 6Null has the old body kneel and slowly wiggles her way out of it like a suit
<DeathStar> 6* The hand chases it around and then jerks, stuck inches from XX. Aero's shot hits it and damges it and is twirls, the arm spinning and going back the way it came, about to hit XX on the recoil if she doesn't leap. Null meanwhile gets back in her own body while Iceheart stands protection. Tron aims and fires missiles into the eye, keeping up the damage
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaps off of the monster!*
<Seraphna> * Aero charges another blast and keeps moving like Megaman, skatting around to ready another shot.
<Kizio> <Null> Much better...
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a floating shield flies up in front of the eye, blocking the shots, about 2 feet away from the eye itself. The monster still is able to see it seems, as it launches a hand right at Aero and Tron, grabbing both
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shifts and drives her shards into an arm joint on the one with Aero, loosening the grip slightly
<Seraphna> * Aero struggles and aims her blast at the arm itself, looking for a joint, she fires at it with the charged shot.
<Seraphna> * Aero then tries to get free.
<Kizio> 6Null focuses on Iceheart's tactic and nods, forming her revolver and snaps off two shots at it before charging up for another.
<Jackieness> <XX> *darts back toward the monster, coming from a flank*
<DeathStar> 6* Aero and Null break the arm off of Aero and Tron
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> That damn shield over it's eye is going to make aiming shots at it harder
<Seraphna> * Aero shifts to catch Tron and hops off to one side.
<Jackieness> <XX> *tries to fire a portal at the back of the eye shield*
<Kizio> <Null> Think I can take it out with an overcharge?
<DeathStar> 6* The portal sticks!
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> The shield looks pretty durable, I wouldn't waste a shot hitting it. Wait, XX has an idea
<DeathStar> 6* She nods
<DeathStar> 6* Tron's clothing is all burnt off; she shrieks
<Seraphna> * Aero huffs. "Relax, no boys here."
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves around and then fires another portal at the front of the shield*
<DeathStar> <IcehearT> Fire into the portal, Null!
<Seraphna> Aero> "Not where I would have put the second portal... but it works."
<DeathStar> 6* Tron pauses, considering, then shakes her fist at the giant robot. "You overgrown bolt!"
<Kizio> <Null> Right." 6She takes aim with the revolver and fires off an overcharged shot
<DeathStar> 6* IT eyes the portal, then strikes the eye on the other side; the robot explodes, zenny flying about and another orb
<Seraphna> * Aero squeals and drops Tron to collect Zenny, she swipes the orb too.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Which way did they go?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tron covers herself, then points at a solid wall, despite there being a doorway to the north. Iceheart frowns suspiciously
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves toward the wall and reaches to touch it*
<Kizio> 6Null squeezes her fingers, putting her revolver and the sword in subspace. She peers at the big clunker, wanting to smash it.
<Seraphna> * Aero comes back, handing half the Zenny to Tron. She then pulls out a big Beat Rockers t-shirt and puts it on Tron.
<DeathStar> 6* XX's hand passes through it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> More hidden walls...
<DeathStar> 6* Tron takes it and the shirt, then eyes Null. "What's her malfuction?"
<Kizio> 6Null slips the big clunker into subspace, mumbling, then glances at Tron.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks catty as Iceheart follows XX through the wall and into another hallway that is uber cvlean and the pulsing lights look high tech
<Jackieness> <XX> "We must be nearing the heart of this structure."
<Seraphna> Aero> "Dunno, she's got a short in a personality chip or something."
<Seraphna> * Aero moves after Iceheart, taking Tron's hand.
<Kizio> <Null> Now this looks advanced.
<DeathStar> 6* Tron follows, eyeing it with shinies in her eyes
<DeathStar> <Tron> This is the jackpot!
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the next chamber, they see Mega laying with a hole in his chest and the Mavericks dragging him onto a platfor that glows and they all vanish. One Maverick stays behind and aims his blaster at the glowing green core in the background and fires into it, damaging it slightly
<Seraphna> Aero> "It is a find... but where's Mega... ...MEGA!"
<Seraphna> * Aero starts moving for the teleporter.
<Kizio> <Null> Doesn't look all that Mega...
<Jackieness> <XX> *fires a portal right at the feet of the Maverick then on to the wall, extending her fist in waiting*
<DeathStar> 6* The Maverick, a bird like creature with wings, turns and faces them, hurling a tornado attack into Aero and sends her flyhing backwards, then flaps it's wings so as not to fall into the hole. It then launches it's wing into the core and damages it, the lights going out and it cackles. "So you Hunters followed us, but you're too late! We're going to Elysium to take the power there"
<Jackieness> <XX> *runs forward toward the bird maverick*
<Seraphna> * Aero cries out and catches the side, pulling herself back up. "Y-You hurt my Mega!!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Tron pulls out her mallet and leaps out, hitting the maverick in the beak, but is blasted into the core and falls down. It turn turns to face XX and Aero, and launches eggs at their faces
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart circles around
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves to dodge and roll away from the eggs*
<Seraphna> * Aero gasps and rolls away from the egg, gripping the side, she fires her grapple after Tron. "Grab on!!!"
<Kizio> <Null> A model like Storm Eagle?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Null, you may harms this one grievously!"
<Kizio> 6Null pulls out her revolver and saber, firing four shots near the maverick-- enough to threaten it, but intending to "herd" it closer to the ground.
<Kizio> <Null> Understood.
<DeathStar> 6* Tron grasps it weakly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Maverick dodges each shot, but is getting lower to the ground
<Seraphna> * Aero starts pulling her back up with the retractor. "Hold on Tronny!"
<DeathStar> 6* One egg hatches and a tiny bird flies at Aero while she pulls up Tron
<Seraphna> * Aero grips her rapple with one arm, shifting to fire at them with the other. "H-Help!"
<Jackieness> <XX> *circles around, trying to get in closer to the maverick*
<Seraphna> *them = it
<Kizio> 6Null withdraws a revolver quickloader, tossing it up and flicking her e-volver open to load it on the move, firing to route the bird some more as she closes in
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stabs the bird and saves Aero and Tron climbs out with her help
<DeathStar> 6* The Maverick Bird, Storm Hawk, flaps and send a tornado at Null as it lands
<Seraphna> * Aero hugs her a little and peers over at the Bird. "You okay Tronny?"
<DeathStar> <Tron> Y-Yeah...
<Kizio> 6Null dodges to the side to stafe the tornado coming at her, thouhg taking longer to get at Storm Hawk
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leaps and throws an ice shard at it's back; Hawk turns to dodge, momentarily exposed
<Seraphna> * Aero peers at the teleporter, then Storm Haw. She growls and fires her blaster at Hawk.
<Seraphna> Aero> "You're between me and my Mega!"
<Jackieness> <XX> *fires a portal above the Storm Hawk and then one at her own feert, trying to ambush it from above!
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk uses it's wings to block Aero's attack, not seeing XX coming in from above
<Kizio> 6Null sprinted inward and cleaves at the base of the wing that he keeps blocking with.
<DeathStar> 6* Null slices into the right wing and Hawk howls as it's cut off, falling to the ground; reaching out he grabs Null by the face and prepares a tornado attack
<Jackieness> <XX> *vomes down and then kicks!
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk is kicked and lets go, falling onto it's back
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leaps out and drives her shards into it's chest, oil spewing upward like a geyser
<Seraphna> * Aero aims a shot at Hawk as he falls back.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart then flips and lets Aero shoot
<Jackieness> <XX> "Take him!"
<Seraphna> Aero> *Aero shoots at the hole in it's chest. "Blow up creep!!!"
<Kizio> 6Null drops to her feet, then leaps upward and rolls in the air to perform a rolling slash dropping into a ground strike onto the maverick.
<DeathStar> 6* The Maverick flickers and explodes. The teleporter and core remains dead though. Two round slots are near a machine in front of the core.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I hate to see how amped up the rest will be at this ... Elysium. What is that? 6* She asks Aero, who is clueless
<Seraphna> Aero> "The orbs, we need to use them here."
<Seraphna> * Aero pulls our her orb and motions at XX to get hers, and moves over, putting hers in.
<Jackieness> ,XX> *moves over and places the other orb into the slot*
<DeathStar> 6* The core lights up green again as they do and the teleporter powers up
<Seraphna> * Aero hurries over to the teleporter. "Let's go save Mega!"
<Kizio> <Null> Guess we opened the front door.
<Kizio> <Null> You mean the guy with the hole in him?" 6She steps on.
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves on to the teleporter*
<Seraphna> Aero> "Coming Tron? Or do you wanna bring the troops to Elsyium?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tron hops on and Iceheart does. And then --- nothing. A voie speaks. "Authorization scan does not match."
<DeathStar> 6* Then it pauses and rescans XX
<Seraphna> * Aero huffs. "You let those creeps on!"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Do not annoy me."
<DeathStar> "Authorization scan does not match."
<Seraphna> Aero> "Fix your chips! You can see she scans like Mega."
<Kizio> <Null> ... Scan me.
<DeathStar> <Female Voice> So you finally have come. 6* It sounds almost robotic, despite it's female tone
<Kizio> 6Null tilts her head.
<Seraphna> * Aero looks about. "...Who..."
<DeathStar> 6* A woman who looks familiar steps out, reddish eyes glowing. "I am Sera. You wish to go to Elysium?"
<Kizio> <Null> The skater girl wants to save swiss cheese blueberry boy.
<Jackieness> <XX> "We must stop the Mavericks."
<Seraphna> * Aero blinks. "...Mega is in trouble! Those ancestor Reavers are trying to steal the ancient tech!"
<DeathStar> <Woman> I will let you have passage to Elysium. You must make sure they do not disturb the Master's programming. 6* She moves over to a glowing display that appears. Iceheart stares and jerks. <Iceheart> Seraphna?
<DeathStar> 6* But before she gets an answer, "Seraphna" taps a button and they all find themselves in a bright light, that dissolves into a new room
<Seraphna> * Aero blinks, looking at Iceheart, then around. "...Did you know that lady?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> No way she'd still be alive
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart pauses as the walls move and reveal space around them and earth down below, almost 90% covered in water
<DeathStar> 6* A door way also opens up to reveal a hallway toward a station in space
<Jackieness> <XX> "We can ponder later. We must stop the Mavericks."
<DeathStar> 6* Tron looks around, then runs ahead down the hallway.
<Seraphna> * Aero skates after Tron. "Hey be careful!"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Right. We also need to get our hands on the database if at all possible to see what happened
<DeathStar> 6 ICeheart follows after them toward the center of Elysium
<DeathStar> -TBC-
