<DeathStar> (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The group, damaged from the battle, moves through the door. A damaged Teddy, played by Kalon now, Null with an right eye that's popped out and left hand that's useless, and a limp, DS with cracked and broken armor on one side, Chou who looks a bit out of it, her healing offline momentarily as it recharges. Cass, in Teddy, with burns, and Teddy with his left arm missing and missiles unloaded. Sera and Elayne low on energy.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We're all a bit ragged, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> 6* On the other side is a long archway from X's area of Eruasia to another large complex, the archway about a mile long, the glass surrounding it. Down below is a large area under construction, hundreds of drones flying about building
<kalonZombie> <Teddy> Teddy has owies.
<DeathStar> <DS> A little. <John> Heh. *he winces, his armor burnt up on the side as he limps and peers across. Zero is already entering the complex on the far side, the doors shutting*
<Jackieness> <XX> "This stupidity is already costing too much."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I agree.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna applies a repair patch to Teddy, she frowns and muses. "Make sure your auto-repairs are all engaged as we move."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy nod
<Seraphna> * Elayne rubs her head. "We need to be extra careful... protect one another. Don't allow him to use anything we throw at him against one another. We're weakened and he'll be strong, don't allow him to focus on anyone too long."
<DeathStar> 6* The count down reaches 1 h our and 10 mins
<Jackieness> <XX> "We are losing time."
<DeathStar> 6* DS hurries along the sky walkway
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne move along.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy follow, Teddy not letting Ash ride him since he only has one arm
<DeathStar> 6* Chou walks along, not running
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves along faster*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Gaining it, really, I wanted us all to have time to refresh before Sigma, but Zero's rushed us."
<DeathStar> <john> He did say for us to handle the countdown while he faced Sigma
<Jackieness> <XX> "We should focus on stopping the launch."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods, peering around. "It'll be inside the complex, yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* John nods to XX
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks at Chou.
<DeathStar> <Chou> At least someone listens. *she mutters8
<DeathStar> <Chou> *she is eyeing the ground, not noticing Sera looking at her*
<DeathStar> 6* DS pauses as the walk way, when they reach the half-way point, shakes a bit
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Chou? The controls would be inside the complex we're heading to, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> Huh? Controls? *she looks up*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "For the launch."
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head as the shaking grows worse. <Chou> I have no idea.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly red lights flash and behind them in the direction of X's area the sky platform begins to break apart
<DeathStar> 6* Falling the huge distance to the ground below
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Not good!
<Jackieness> <XX> "What the?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Drones being hit by the pieces
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "..." *she rubs her head* "Move."
<DeathStar> 6* DS grabs Chou and runs for the door
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy run for it
<Seraphna> * Seraphna beings to run for the door, as does Elayne, who supports John.
<Jackieness> <XX> *starts running across to the door*
<DeathStar> 6* John runs as fast as he can, cursing and holding his side
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Teddy, pick up John."
<DeathStar> 6* A piece of the skywalk drops out in front of them, leaving a hole. DS leaps over it
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy picks John up with his good arm and tries to leap the skywalk gap
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash tries to leap the gap as well
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs Null and leaps over the hole. Elayne leaps on her own.
<DeathStar> 6* The bear barely manages to make it; Sera, pausing to grab Null, is left lagged so she's not near the one hole left and the skyhall way is dropping out under her from the falling floor
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaps over the gap*
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to fall with her and Null
<DeathStar> 6* The others make the one leap
<Seraphna> * Seraphna goes dragon to glide her and Null over.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera and Null glide under the skywalk
<Seraphna> * She tosses Null up and then glides up to get to the skywalk.
<DeathStar> 6* AS She tosses Null up, that part of the skywalk drops
<kalonZombie> <Ash> SHIT!
<DeathStar> 6* DS runs and reaches the door meanwhile and hits the door open; only a few more left of the skywalk
<DeathStar> 6* It opens and he slides in
<Seraphna> * Elayne TK hurls Null towards the rest of them, but this is the last time she's spending energy to save Kit, Hint, Hint. Seraphna glides to the door as she gets up.
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves in through the door*
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy rushes for the door with Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Still under the skywalk, the next piece drops toward Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne hurls Null in
<DeathStar> 6* But she needs to get in herself, as her piece is dropping out
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves back to go help her just in case
<Seraphna> * Elayne leaps for the door and hurls herself in.
<Seraphna> * SEraphna FLIES up. And to the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The last pieces of the skywalk falls out as Sera finally flies upward and then the door begins to seal. Everyone else is in
<DeathStar> 6* DS grabs it, keeping it up, the gears in his arm making noise
<DeathStar> <John> Hurry
<Seraphna> * Seraphna tucks her wings and rockets herself through the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera makes it through and DS lets go
<DeathStar> 6* They find themselves in a large area, dead reploids all over the place. Chou looks around, pale, and they can see Zero carved an arrow for them to take a left hallway
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Let's follow the man's directions..." *she growls, wearily, shifting back to conserve and recharge power*
<kalonZombie> <Teddy> We go left.
<Jackieness> <XX> "I wonder why he did not simply do this earlier?" *starts to the left*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne begin heading left.
<DeathStar> 6* John hugs Sera
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy and Ash head left as well
<DeathStar> 6* As they move leftward, they find a terminal there
<DeathStar> <DS> Guess he wants us to hack it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Are you familiar enough with this one Chou?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> I can ... try.
<DeathStar> 6* She walks over lifelessly, and begins to work at it. DS peers about, shadows all over the place; it almost feels like the shadows are watching them
<Seraphna> * Seraphna groans. "Don't tell me, something's guarding this."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out her saber, Elayne frowns and pulls out her blaster.
<Jackieness> <XX> *glances around*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash forms his buster since his spear is out of commission.
<DeathStar> <DS> Something feels familiar about this
<Jackieness> <XX> "Do share before we find out the hard way."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If it forms into a giant one eyed blob, I am going to murder my great grandfather when we meet. In a loving familial manner."
<DeathStar> <DS> I can't put my finger on it. Just.... feels like someone I knew from my past.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Like who?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Wein?"
<DeathStar> <DS> Yes.
<Artemis> <Null> You have weird family...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He's supposed to be dead again... but... with Sigma and his habit or reviving things..."
<DeathStar> 6* As DS says this, Chou's shadow shifts and stabs her with a blade into the gut, a virus spreading into her. Chou blinks, having just gotten the data
<DeathStar> k6* The sahdow shifts away
<DeathStar> 6* DS twirls, activating his saber
<Jackieness> <XX> "An ambush!"
<DeathStar> 6* Chou falls to her knees, holding her stomach, trying to heal herself, but the virus seems to prevent it, sparks emitting
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy are on guard, looking around
<DeathStar> <DS> He's gone now.
<Artemis> 6Null jerks and grabs ahold of Chou
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grumbles and tosses a sticky flare up to the ceiling, to keep shadows down, and then rushes to Chou, she plugs something into her and pauses. "Null, Antivirus."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou shakily puts the data onto a datapad.
<DeathStar> <John> Great.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna takes the data and frowns, while ELayne keeps a wary eye. "There was a time I used to like that one's antics."
<DeathStar> 6* He shivers, eyeing shadows that remain paranoidly
<Artemis> <Null> I'm trying..! What, you think I want to lose her!?
<DeathStar> 6* The virus in her seems to be a mutated form of the Maverick virus, not exactly Sigma's virus
<DeathStar> 6* And it seems without taking a chunk of Wiendigo and studying it, can they beati t
<Artemis> 6Null attempts regardless
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Try harder." *is all she says, but not unkindly, she eyes the data*
<Seraphna> * Elayne watches the shadows.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy watch the shadows
<Jackieness> <XX> "The data she placed on the datapad. We should study it while you treat her."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Already doing so."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Keep Mom covered. If you see a shadow, disrupt it with light or stab it."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the generator is in the heart of Eruasia; there's a hidden maintenance elevator nearby in a wall
<DeathStar> 6* A countdown announces 1 hour
<DeathStar> <DS> I feel him again, watching us...
<DeathStar> 6* He looks about
<DeathStar> <DS> I don't think he'll attack until he feels it's necessary.
<Artemis> <Null> Let him come..." 6she snarls
<Jackieness> <XX> "Focus!"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Taunting him never proved to work either. Patient bugger."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves towards the elevator, keeping shy of shadows, pulling out another flare.
<DeathStar> 6* John makes a face. Null's missing eye space shifts slightly in the darkness as Chou leans against her
<DeathStar> 6* He follows and DS holds out his saber to cast light
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves after Seraphna*
<Seraphna> * Elayne frowns and turns on a flashlight, she floats it up, like a sentry turret. She walks over as Seraphna tries to work out the panel or whatever is needed to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the hidden wall, they can see a deactivated Super Mech guarding it, that will likely activate upon hearing sound
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *pauses*
<Jackieness> <XX> *stops moving*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy pause
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *internal comm* "We need to disable that without making a sound."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems covered in dust right now and looks nonchalant
<Artemis> <Null> Chou, Chou!
<DeathStar> 6* Null's voice makes it stand up
<DeathStar> <Chou> ... ungh.... *she lifts her head weakly toward Null, looking creepy* Yes....?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *internal comms* "Somone hurl Null at it. God Damnit."
<DeathStar> 6* IT begins to walk toward Null and Chou, leaving the wall
<Jackieness> <XX> *twitches as Null wakes it up*
<DeathStar> 6* DS slides around and moves to the wall area and John follows
<Seraphna> * Seraphna quierly shifts around while Null has volunteered to keep it busy.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy shift to follow DS and John
<Artemis> <Null> You can't tick off here. You have to help me with your friend.
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves around to the elevator panel while the emch moves away*
<DeathStar> <Chou> *nods weakly*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna starts working on the elevator when she reaches the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no obvious panel on the wall, it looks like a wall; they all would see nothing to indicate it's more than a wall*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech aims at Null and Chou, turrets turning as the gatling gun stars up
<Seraphna> * Seraphna feels around carefully to see if there's a hidden panel or something similar.
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna feels along the wall, a click is heard and a panel opens up, revealing the elevator pad, large enough for a mech - no doubt for supplies
<DeathStar> 6* John and DS step on
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves on to the elevator*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne step on. Elayne pulls out her spare blaster and starts charging it.
<Artemis> 6Null activates the spare saber she was given and flings it back into the mech's optics, grabbing Chou to move her
<DeathStar> 6* The mech is hit by the saber, it's shots going wild a moment and tearing chunks in the hard metal floor, showing it's very, very strong to do so
<DeathStar> 6* Chou leans on Null, her owund healing itself as the virus takes root
<DeathStar> 6* The mech shakes the saber off and turns toward the elevator as Null and Chou reach it. DS hits the down button
<DeathStar> 6* The mech launches rockets
<Seraphna> * Elayne waits till Null is moving and tosses the overloading blaster at the mech, aiming for a spot away from Null and Chou.
<DeathStar> 6* John points at the rockets
<DeathStar> <John> Shoot them
<DeathStar> 6* The blaster hits the mech off balance
<Seraphna> * Seraphna tries to use a Gale Burst to knock one rocket into antoher, ELayne fires at a rock.
<Seraphna> *rocket
<Jackieness> <XX> *raises her buster and shoots at the rockets*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash fires his buster at the rockets
<DeathStar> 6* The rockets explode against each other and knock the mech completely onto it's back, where it wails in frustration
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Wow, really?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Damn old models, no balance gyros."
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator begins to go downward, traveling rapidly
<Artemis> 6Null sits with Chou and keeps trying to fight the virus in innerspace.
<DeathStar> 6* It's very dark on the elevator
<DeathStar> 6* John cries out in pain
<Seraphna> * Seraphna lights the next flare.
<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo is seen vanishing into a shadow as the flare goes up
<DeathStar> 6* John falls over
<Seraphna> * Elayne grabs onto John, as soon as she can see the wound, she starts healing him.
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne would see his spine was severed
<DeathStar> <John> Can't...feel my legs...
<Seraphna> * Elayne takes a deep breath, and begins to mend it, she starts to look a little gray as she uses intense energy.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "HOld still so I can set it right."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'll be useless for a while after this."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and tosses the flare to it sticks to the elevator roof, minimizing shadows.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Then we'll just have to ujse more explosions."
<DeathStar> 6* There's no roof
<Seraphna> * She holds it up high then.
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy takes it and holds it high
<kalonZombie> <Teddy> Teddy is taller than momma.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna touches Elayne, they glow together with the healing energy as she puts in her own energy to save John's mobility.
<DeathStar> 6* John is quiet, in clear pain, pale and white. Chou rocks as Null struggles to keep the virus at bay; after a bit the elevator grinds to a stop, sparking and smoking, the shadows under it having been used to tear it out. The datapad indicates they are 10 floors above twhere they need to be
<DeathStar> 6* And have 45 mins to go
<DeathStar> 6* DS frowns, using his saber light, to peer at the floor, he opens a floor panel and peers down the dark shaft
<DeathStar> <DS> Clever Wiendidong
<Jackieness> <XX> "We'll have to take the express route."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks down as well
<Seraphna> * Elayne finishes her mend, panting. "I can't spare you pain love, and your legs will be numb for a while, and you'll definately need some of Mom's tech when we get home... but you should be humping... walking... again sometime soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, they can't try to wreck the elevator into falling due to back up safety protocols and the fact there's floors under their needed floor
<DeathStar> <John> T-Thanks
<DeathStar> <John> Just stuff me in ... Ted...
<DeathStar> 6* Chou grins creepily, eyes a bit red.
<DeathStar> <Chou> Who's afraid of the dark?
<Seraphna> * Elayne turns into a baby and floats int SEraphna's cleavage. Seraphna picks him up carefully and puts him in Ted with Cass.
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy blinks, but opens his chest for John
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Cou, fight it."
<Seraphna> *chou
<DeathStar> <Chou> R..Right...I wish I had a bon bon...
<DeathStar> 6* DS takes a breath and goes under the elevator
<DeathStar> 6* He grabs a rope and begins to slide quickly. Wiendigo attacks him and the two begin to fight on the way down, giving everyone a chance
<Seraphna> * Seraphna puts a bon bon in her mouth, then peers down the shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* It's clear wiendigo, with cthulu like shadow tendrils, is stronger than ever, and is beating the shit of DS
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks at the rest. "Slide down quickly. I have a plan to help DS after."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Now!" *moves down next, grabbing the rope*
<DeathStar> 6* But they need to focus on the mission
<DeathStar> 6* Chou swallows and hugs onto Null, since she has a bad arm
<DeathStar> 6* And grabs a different cord
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out something and indicates to Teddy to slide down.
<DeathStar> 6* She slides down
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Teddy grab a rope and slide down
<DeathStar> 6* Chou and XX slide past DS and Wiendigo, who are no longer on the cords, in the shadows fighting
<DeathStar> 6* DS trying to drive a saber into the shadow Wiendigo
<Artemis> <Null> I need a piece of him!!
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils swipe out of the darkness at XX, cutting her cheek
<Seraphna> * Seraphna slides down, securing something to her rope and other ropes on the way down.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Gah! It got me!"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Engage your viral barrier."
<Jackieness> <XX> *engages* "Engaging."
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils try to stab Teddy in the back
<Seraphna> * Seraphna slides down, Elayne in her cleavage, she waves a flasre in between the tendrils and Teddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Another tendril snags Elayne from Seraphna's breasts, carrying her off.
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy roars at them to back the fuck off... then swings to avoid them
<Seraphna> * Elayne squeaks and Seraphna dives to grab.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No you asshole you're not taking my daugther!"
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils back off the bear and Seraphna grabs Elayne, but hten begins to fall the rest of the way down as she loses her grip, falling all the way down to the right floor
<DeathStar> 6* XX reaches the correct floor at the same time Sera falls by
<DeathStar> 6* Chou reaches the 10th flooor with Null
<Seraphna> * Seraphna blasts air as she falls to cushion and roll on the right floor.
<DeathStar> 6* DS cuts himself free with some of Wiendigo's tendrils and falls down aftrer the others
<DeathStar> 6* Right as he's stabbed in the gut with a tendril
<Jackieness> <XX> *goes on to the floor and then eyes Seraphna sliding past*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then hits the trigger the multiple flash bombs she set going off.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors to the floor are shut, meaning someone has to open them
<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo winces and retreats
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Teddy! Door!
<DeathStar> 6* His Protoman visor barely enough
<Jackieness> <XX> "Open!" *tries pulling the doors open herself*
<kalonZombie> 6*Teddy tries to open the door
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves to help
<DeathStar> 6* DS falls past the group if not grabbed
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash will instead try to grab DS
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy and XX open the door
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shifts and grabs him, going hybrid for the extra strength to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Ash grabs DS, who keeps hold of the tendril and the otheri n his gut wiggling, damaging him
<Seraphna> * Elayen shivers pathetically back in Sera's cleavage.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is the heart of Eruasia, a giant generator that's shaped like a beating heart, wires and conduits plugged into it from all over, and hundreds of reploids and drones all about
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash pulls DS up
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I gotchya
<DeathStar> 6 *DS nods and climbs inside. "Thanks."
<Seraphna> Sraphna> "DS... he got you in the gut... did he...?"
<DeathStar> 6* He yanks the one tendril out; the lighting in the Heart of Eruasia is poorly lit. "I'm immune to the virus after what happened."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods and looks through the door
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps forward through the elevator doors*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I think he would have made a joke about date rape about right here."
<Artemis> 6Null squints and grabs the tendril falling from DS and re-enters innerspace.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Ugh."
<DeathStar> 6* There's reploid guards all over, reploid techs, scientists, and others, preparing as the Heart of eruasia powers up
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I have an excuse, I was exposed to him at an early age."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Right... anyone have any bright ideas?"
<DeathStar> 6* It's so massive, it's technologically impressive. The heart itself looks like a chamber of sorts that one can enter. Likely they need to get inside
<Jackieness> <XX> "Blow it from within."
<kalonZombie> <Teddy> Teddy likes that plan.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'd like to be leaving when we do. But I more meant the army in front of us."
<DeathStar> <DS> Diversion...
<DeathStar> <DS> I can create one for you all
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You'd better come out of this alive."
<DeathStar> <DS> I'll try.
<DeathStar> 6* He limps off.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Otherwise my next DS-Fangirl newsletter will be totally depressing."
<Jackieness> <XX> "He knows what is at stake."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou is quiet
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You okay Chou?
<DeathStar> 6* While Null works innerspace, her body is all limp
<DeathStar> <Chou> Null is trying to heal me, but the virus is resistant.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We wait for the diversion, then head straight there. Carry Null if she's not awake by the time that happens."
<DeathStar> <Chou> you will ... need me-e-hehehe...inside that place....to ... shut it down...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Chou, get through this, I will buy you one million bon bons.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'll buy you as many as I can afford.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Mom I'm gonna need a raise on my paycheck.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a major explosion away from the heart and DS can be seen in the light it casts. "I am Death Star! Reaper of souls! Come and stop me if you dare, reploids! Or bow before me, for either way, Eruasia is mine now!" 6* He shouts
<DeathStar> 6* All the reploids and drones turn to face him, not paying any attention to their surroundings, guards moving toward DS
<Jackieness> <XX> "Now."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He was always a horrible actor... you should have seen him on newscasts..." *she sighs and starts making her way there, motioning them to be stealthy*
<Jackieness> <XX> *sets Null on Teddy's back and then starts moving*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves with her. Teddy does as well, as quiet as a bear can be
<Seraphna> * Seraphna motions Ash to make sure Chou moves.
<DeathStar> <DS> I will start try outs now to see who is worthy to be my right hand man. Only the strongest can claim that title.
<DeathStar> 6* He stands, a cape billowing; those who arent' going after him peer at each other, debating
<DeathStar> 6* Chou moves along
<DeathStar> 6* DS slices the head off two reploids, and with that, reploids fight each other, creating some chaos - after all, DS did lead a Maverick War
<Seraphna> * Seraphna smiles a little as she moves along.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the door, there's a scanner stating that only a Commander can enter.
* Cthulhu-Fhtagn has joined #ClassSession55
<kalonZombie> <Teddy> ...Do we have hacker?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "XX, pretend to be your brother."
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves forward to let it scan her as X*
<DeathStar> 6* The scanner seems confused a moment , scanning her breasts, then muses. "Accepted. X is a cross dresser. Welcome, Lord X.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open
* AquaKoala has joined #ClassSession55
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps in through the doors*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Not surprised..." *she muses and steps through*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves with her
<kalonZombie> <Ash> That'll be a great story for the paparazzi
<kalonZombie> 6*He heads in after Teddy, not riding him since he's only got one arm
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps an eye on Chou as they enter.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is a cell like place, though it's been made to look comfortable. There's holovids set up and a holoterminal, a bed chamber for a reploid to rejuvinate, a female reploid - asleep - that's naked, no doubt for sexing. And there's food on the table for plenty. The food looks delicious and tempting. A rough, commanding voice speaks. "Welcome, Hunters. Partake of some food with me?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Chou, a crazy look, peers about
<AquaKoala> *Teddy makes a face "Is trap."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Duh?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna blinks and peers over at the owner of the voice.
* Cthulhu-Fhtagn has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 194 seconds)
<Jackieness> <XX> *visibly twitches*
<DeathStar> 6* Sigma steps into view, in his first form, scars on the face, and he looks tired and weary. He moves over to sit down and takes some of the food, cutting the steak. It seems he was watching the chaos outside when he paused in eating.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Trap?
<DeathStar> <john in Teddy> Whaat?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well... Zero is supposed to be fighting you right about now."
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Is he? Well, I'm not here.
<AquaKoala> Teddy>...I-.
<DeathStar> *he's
<AquaKoala> (NCEPTION)
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You appear to be here."
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Yes, I am.
<Jackieness> <XX> "So is he running around aimlessly and destructively?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Or are there multiple Sigmas?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sighs
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Possiblely. It depends on what X and Wiendigo are up to, I suppose.
<DeathStar> 6* Null slides off Teddy's back
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Wein is being himself, albiet, more of an asshole then usual. X is taking a nap. You know why we're here?"
<DeathStar> 6* The female reploid wakes up, peering at them, adjusting her green hair to eye them all
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I'm assuming to kill me.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I could actually care less whether you live or die."
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Oh?
<AquaKoala> Teddy sits, waiting patiently
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "WE're here to stop the continent from rising and millions from dying."
<Artemis> 6Null fight oh fight oh fight on
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Ah, X's plan for Eruasia.
<DeathStar> 6* He nod tiredly
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash resists the urge to tell his mother it's COULDN'T care less. COULDN'T
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He no longer has a need for it. I don't suppose you'd LET us stop that?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna eyes the green haired one a moment, musing on whether or not it's from Anyata's line.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I want a place for reploids to be from humans. Permenantly. I want Eruasia to succeed. So X and I worked together to create this place. But his goals became corrupted and he locked me up to power Eruasia since I am a virus and could supply unlimited energy. I was blinded to his goals due to my desire to finally end this conflict and leave Earth. I didn't care how we did it, as long as we did. Kill millions or not, it didn't matter to me, as long as it was done. We needed certain things from Earth, hence the need to build it to here, as we did.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Now I'm tied to this damned generator-- -6* Null rises and attacks Sigma, stabbing him in the throat.
<DeathStar> 6* Null's missing eye having shadow tendrils
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Stop it and we'll create a peaceful solution. Wh... NULL!"
<DeathStar> <Null with Wiendigo VOice> You talk too much
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Shiiiiiiiiiiiit
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars
<DeathStar> 6* Null pins Sigma to the wall with a blade - in the face, so Sigma can't answer. The countdown down to 20 mins
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Oh you smarmy asshole." *she growls and grabs Elayne's flashlight, shining it into the eye*
<DeathStar> 6* Null jerks , the tendrils moving inside further in the darkness of Null's insides
<DeathStar> <Null wiendigo> Not good enough; even as Null completes a counter virus, I'll destroy her body
<DeathStar> 6* Null Wiendigo begins to overload
<DeathStar> <Chou> N-No
<AquaKoala> *Teddy tackles Nulldigo
<Artemis> <Null> Works for me, asshole. You're coming with me.
<DeathStar> 6* The female Reploid eeks
<AquaKoala> *Tries too
<DeathStar> 6* Nulldigo is tackled.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rushes forward and pulls out a kife, stabbing at the circuls that would allow Null to move.
<DeathStar> <Nulldigo> Ungh... *unable to move, Wiendigo inside merely waits, a virus himself now, so he can pull a Sigma and leave
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Does anyone wknow what to do?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then opens Null's mouth and shoves eomthing inside.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Find a way to trap him and stop this infection right here right now?
<Artemis> <Null> My sabe--uungfhh!?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "This'll hurt you a LOT more then it hurts her."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Its trying to wait us out, using Null like a crab uses a shell."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou looks panicky.
<DeathStar> 6* Sigma remains pinned, unable to move and talk
<Seraphna> * A light beacon turns on inside Null.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over to Sigma and tries to free him
<DeathStar> 6* Outside people keep fighting and DS is clearly out numbered. Wiendigo is driven out
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves over to Sigma to help, trying to make sure he doesn't die.
<DeathStar> 6* A virus Wiendigo face seen floating off into the shadows
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I can't believe I'm doing this, but I want you to live to shut this damn thing off."
<DeathStar> 6* Once free, Sigma heals, apparantly tough to kill in him
<Jackieness> <XX> "It is getting away!"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Let it, for now."
<Artemis> <Null> Damn it! I wanted that jackass dead!
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I can't shut it off, I'm a prisoner in here. You could try to destroy me and stop it, if you're killers. *he notes calmly*
<DeathStar> <Sigma> If you have the Sigma Virus antivirus, that might do it
<kalonZombie> <Ash> How would destroying you stop it?
<DeathStar> 6* Chou repairs Null's movements again
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "I do."
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I'm tied to the generator
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He's the power core."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Cutting him off would depower the heart."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Sigma... I promise that I'll make sure there's a way Reploids can be on their own if they choose and leave Earth."
<DeathStar> <John in Teddy> So kill you when you're cooperating.... <Sigma> Yes. Making the Hunters the ultimate hypocrits
<Seraphna> * Seraphna smiles. "Didn't you hear? They have a new commander and a new motto."
<DeathStar> 6* Sigma simply eyes her
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *she pulls out her datapad* "Everything always has a third solution."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out a cord. "In all irony, a Wily is the one to do this."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou eyes the food, and takes some of it
<Seraphna> * Seraphna readies to inject him with the antivirus.
<DeathStar> <Chou> S-So you're just going to kill him?
<Artemis> <Null> Chou-- how are... you doing..?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No, but I am going to remove the virus."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou pauses, considering. "Better now - whatever you did work."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Okaaaaay, mom's gone off the deep end
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Anyone remember their history lessons? Who is Sigma."
<Jackieness> <XX> "I see. Reprogram Sigma to a non-virus state."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna does something on a special datapad and then seals it in a special case, like she did with X's memory chip.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I'm afraid that will not work
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Never tell me what can and can't work, because I'll engineer a way to make it happen."
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I am the virus
<DeathStar> <Sigma> I've long sense mutated.
<DeathStar> *since
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yes, ye,s, I saw the data."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna begins to antiviral step to her plan.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> And what X has done, I've become strained.
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Trying to copy my data, would not work
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "For what it's worth, I'm sorry."
<Jackieness> <XX> "then engineer it fast."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's not your data that I copied. You may see one day."
<DeathStar> 6* Sigma shrugs.
<DeathStar> <John in Teddy> Why not fight us?
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Why bother anymore.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm never going to get to ask this question again, so I wonder, did the virus start with you? Or did Albert Wily write it?"
<DeathStar> <Sigma> Sometimes can't be answered.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna watches the upload of the antivirus.
<DeathStar> 6* Sigma's body turns to dust
<kalonZombie> <Ash> And there he goes.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs, she then checks the consoles to be sure this is over.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Get ready to get out there and help DS with an escape plan."
<DeathStar> 6* The female reploid peers down, and outside reploids are gathering to enter the room - apparantly DS held them off as long as he could. The generator seems to have stopped, and without Sigma it's gone critical. Eruasia is self-destructing. Chou sighs
<DeathStar> <Chou> I might could have found another way to stop iut
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "This has another long term effect. Can we signal an evacuation?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "How do we get past the mob out there?"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Good question
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Either they leave when the evacuation comes up, or they're morons who are gong to die either way. At any rate, I'm done playing games."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou is quiet, moving to the terminal Sigma had
<Seraphna> * Seraphna checks to see how extensive the damage will be. At the terminal.
<DeathStar> 6* She quietly works at it, going through files and whatnot. The green haired reploid weeps for Sigma
<DeathStar> 6* It seems when Eruasia goes, it will damage a good portion of Asia
<DeathStar> 6* OR I should say, Asia's underground
<Seraphna> SEraphna> "See if we can launch the core into space, or some other means of minimizing damage."
<DeathStar> <Chou> Impossible.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Ash, charge your biggest teleport."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods, readying it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Any buffers keeping us from leaving?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> No, all that is offline. 6* She finishes and sets up evacuation alarms.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sees if she can at least send out a warning for evacuation.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy grabs onto Ash in prepartion
<Seraphna> * Sraphna nods to Chou.
<DeathStar> 6* The reploids outside pause and begin to leave
<DeathStar> 6* Chou turns and walks off
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Come with us."
<DeathStar> <Chou> No
<Artemis> <Null> Chou....
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We still have to find your friend and repair her."
<Artemis> <Null> Seraphna, you idiot. Because of what you did this place is about to blow.
<Artemis> <Null> Need I remind you where her friend is!?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm well aware."
<DeathStar> <Chou> I'll find her on my own
<Jackieness> <XX> "Stop talking and act."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *shifts to peer out, looking for DS-like remains*
<Artemis> <Null> Then I'm done with you, too.
<DeathStar> 6* The area is too large and there's too many reploids moving about
<Artemis> 6Null takes Chou's hand and runs.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Alright, check that we can teleport and let's get out of here."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Ready when you are
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hope you got out DS..."
<Jackieness> <XX> "...let's go." *sticks close to the others*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Alright." *she puts a hand on Ash*
<kalonZombie> 6*When everyone is ready and holding hands or whatever, Ash attempts to teleport out
<DeathStar> 6* As Chou said, the teleports are down and they beam out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Rushing through the exploding Eruasia over the next 25 mins, areas blowing up and falling apart, Chou and Null reach the area that Chloe fell to by pure luck, having had to fight their way through drones - both are bloodied and Null's bad leg has all but broken off. The lights are pure red and areas are locking down from exploding
<DeathStar> 6* Chou approaches the top half of Chloe when a flying drone grabs her and begins to fly off
<Artemis> 6Null turns and isntantly shoots it with the gun she was given
<DeathStar> 6* The drone explodes and drops her. Chou catches her. Chloe is off line still, damaged and will need who knows how many months of repair. The area shakes as the big one is coming
<DeathStar> <Chou> We don't have enough time to escape and I lack a teleporter
<DeathStar> 6* Chou looks about, spotting another flying drone, debating using it
<Artemis> 6Null shifts to grab it, holding it in place.
<Artemis> <Null> Do it.
<DeathStar> 6* The green haired reploid has followed them, holding a vial of Sigma dust quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Chou grabs it and stabs the cortex so they can control it, then lays Chloe on it. She then wraps her legs around it. The green haired reploid walks up timidly behind Null, motioning mutely if she can come
<Artemis> 6Null blinks, then shrugs and motions.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl climbs up as the ceiling begins to crash around them, and the top platform that they were on when Chloe fell begins to tilt and fall toward them. Once Null is on, Chou steers the drone upward using her datapad and dodges
<DeathStar> 6* She steers them upward; Chloe's body rolls along, needing Null to grab and hold on before it falls off
<Artemis> 6Null grips her, otherwise the trip was pointless
<DeathStar> 6* Chou flies them around and through a hole up through a sewer system into a Chinese City.
<DeathStar> 6* The city shakes as Eruasia finally explodes and earthquakes shake Asia all over
<DeathStar> 6* A few buildings fall down and crash
<DeathStar> 6* Chou dodges the buildings as they fall, going through one's floor as it tilts and out the other side. She pants, her pink hair wild, as she flies onward
<DeathStar> <Chou> ... Null, I have a question.... 6* She asks as they leave the shaking city as the quake dies down
<Artemis> <Null> Now?
<DeathStar> <Chou> *nods, as they fly along, things peaceful now*
<Artemis> <Null> What is it?
<DeathStar> <Chou> Are you going back to the Hunters?
<Artemis> <Null> Not likely.
<DeathStar> 6* She peers back, landing the bug drone outside the Chinese City. "Since Sigma's Maverick Virus doesn't seem to be the true virus anymore...and the one I was infected with is...are you going to give them the cure to the Wiendigo Virus?
<DeathStar> 6* She thinks of what the Wiendigo Virus might turn into - even if it mutates into something beyond the current cure
<Artemis> <Null> I didn't think about it. I should.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The others arrive back at Hunter Station. Aya runs up
<DeathStar> <Aya> Where's my Null?!
<DeathStar> 6* Wind walks up in his suit with Megumi and Kumiko
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "She went to retrieve a friend. I expect she'll report in sometime."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi having a datapad full of reports on earthquakes
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rubs her face tiredly.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves to Medical with John
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sighs, moving for the repair center
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Mom, when you get a free moment, new spear, I have a few ideas...
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves with Teddy.
<Artemis> <Megumi> ..." 6She sulks at all the damage
<Jackieness> <XX> *crosses her arms, looking unhappy*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Take heart Megumi, if the launch had happened the numbers would be a lot bigger. And I'm not sure how to put a price on lives."
<Artemis> <Megumi> Rep... loid or human?
<Seraphna> * Seeraphna salutes to Wind. "Sigma is dead. Zero is MIA, unless he reports in. Null is on leave."
<DeathStar> 6* John is taken to medical to rest.
<Jackieness> <XX> "It was still a cluster. And whatever is on that memory chip, I want to know."
<DeathStar> 6* Katirna keeps working on XX's stuff in the lab
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "X is also dead. And... there's a new threat."
<DeathStar> <Wind> New threat?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Weindigo has become a virus."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind sighs
<DeathStar> (you'll never spell his name the way X1 spelt it will you?)
<Seraphna> (I REFUSE)
<Seraphna> ( I will now spell it Wihtikow))
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'll glance over your full report when you finish it
<DeathStar> <Wind> For now, all of you look like hell, get rest and repairs
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "After rest... and loading up new projects... I have some... artifacts to look over."
<DeathStar> <Wind> And make sure to take a lot of time off. Megumi and I will handle the representatives of Asia
<Artemis> 6Megumi bows.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "For what it's worth, I'm sorry I couldn't find a better solution. Sigma was being used as the core."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hurries back to the COmmand ROom, checking for messages frtom Null
<DeathStar> <Wind> Sigma was an evil that needed to be dealt with
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He... let us stop him."
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads to KAtrina's lab*
<DeathStar> <Wind> *he blinks* There must have been some agenda.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come in.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "X it seems... was the big bad all along."
<Artemis> 6Null says she's coming soon, but needs to talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at Null eing okay and relaxes.
<DeathStar> <Wind> We'll see...it'll take a lot of itme to sort this all out, and with all the evidence destroyed...
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, go rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind points. "Kumiko, get her to medical?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I have some, but I'll share it after I rest."
<Seraphna> * Kumiko nods and leads Seraphna off, who looks half alive.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Promised him I'd make sure... heh..."
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps in* "I am now more ready for a new look than I was previously."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll need more time to finish this. *she notes* It's only been a few hours. *she points out*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But the funds were cleared
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans in, concerned
<Jackieness> <XX> "No, I am not."
<DeathStar> <Katirna> Come here, lets talk. I can listen while I do work. 6* She takes XX's arm and walks over.
<DeathStar> -END-
