<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> (Intro following)
<DeathStar> 6* Twirling through time and reality itself, Leruste, Rachael, Crimson, and Butler, land on some grass, in the distance strange buildings visible with unknown designs, some trees, a dirt road. Butler is bleeding heavily from being stabbed in the back in the kidney, her blood oozing along the ground, a crystal dagger in her back still
<AquaKoala> *Butler writhes in pain, still screaming out from it
<Seraphna> * Crimson frowns, not looking around much, he starts using a Templar Heal on her. "Hold still."
<AquaKoala> *Butler tries to for him, still twitching slightly
<Seraphna> * Crimson pulls out the dagger as he continues healing her, eyes focused.
<DeathStar> 6* The dagger refuses to move
<AquaKoala> *Butler winces, closing her eyes
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste slowly gets up, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits up weakly, holding her head, peering over at the screaming
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> ...Guys, I don't think we're on Garterah anymore.
<Seraphna> Crimson> "It won't come out..."
<kalonZombie> *Terah
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over and tries touching her back, examing as Butler begins to pass out
<Seraphna> Crimson> "We'll have to destroy the dagger itself or pull flesh around it... I think. Rosetta meant this to kill."
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste draws his swords and stands guard while the people capable of healing heal
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael begins to cast basic heal spells under the new rules of Mage, touching the dagger and trying to focus, and begins to crack it
<AquaKoala> *Butler whimpers, trying to hold on
<Seraphna> * Crimson holds her still so Rachael can get the dagger out, ready to heal tissue damage with the new Templar Heal Magik skill after.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael destroys the dagger, some shards entering into the flesh inside Butler, panting as the wound begins to close until she taps out of MP, only partially done.
<DeathStar> 6* About half a mile away people are peering out of their house, staring. Rachael, holding her face and looking ill and weak, tries not to pass out
<AquaKoala> *Butler pants, her eyes tightly shut
<Seraphna> * Crimson uses his energy to heal after she's done. "She'll need a proper doctor, but this should keep her from bleeding out. We... should probably get out of here. Leruste, carry Rachael."
<Seraphna> * Energy ---> Mana
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste nods, putting his swords away and picking up Rachael
<Seraphna> * Crim stands up, holding Butler carefully. "Where do you think, the road? We need to find a medicine woman or something."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans against Leruste. Butler wound feel burning inside her and mild pain, but it's bareable now at least, but she would barely be awake now
<DeathStar> 6* With so much blood loss
<AquaKoala> *Butler holds onto to Crim, her breathing slowing finally, trying to stay awake
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I don't even know where we would begin. Where are we? WHEN are we?
<Seraphna> * Crimson seems distant about Butler's pain outside basic concerns, "We're in the middle of a field. In another time. We'll find out more by moving on."
<AquaKoala> *Butler points to the houses "Ask."
<Seraphna> * Crimson starts heading towards the houses.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler starts moving with him, carrying Rachael
<DeathStar> 6* The people eye them coming and go inside, slamming the door shut, firing warning shots into the ground
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Bad...idea...
<Seraphna> * Crim backs up. "...Down the road then."
<Seraphna> * Crim turns to go in another direction.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yyyyyyeeeeah... looks like we didn't choose exactly the friendliest neighborhood
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler follows Crim
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 10-593.8.5
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis muses, peering at the time machine chair - Isis still on her honeymoon at this point. So no one has been allowed to work on it.
<Seraphna> * LEyaeh flicks an ear, looking over reports.
<Kit> <Megumi> What are you brooding over?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm? It would seem that our future, or a future, depends on us figuring out what tampering was done to this chair. I have a theory the Others sabotaged it to prevent us from usiong it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe it is Isis' daughter that opened the time gate that sent those strangers through time
<DeathStar> 6* As Ama is meditating, she would sense a kitsune that is...different, somewhere on Earth.
<Chain> 6*Ama opens her eyes, blinking at the sensation
<Kit> <Megumi> So the future isn't as far off as it would seem?
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Well, the Others have been very heavily against us using the chair, trying to kill all Red Heads of your line, Empress."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Cheryl is looking for this 'angel' to get the exact dates, but we believe, based on the memories this Aschae shared, doomsday is in 14 years when the Others will reach Earth using lightspeed due to my tampering with hyperspace
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Isis' daughter had red hair
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It seems they either wished Isis dead to prevent her birth, or were completely wrong and did not know it was a child of Isis with red hair they should stop. Perhaps they have knowledge of the future too
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Either way, I only wish Little Kitten to work on the chair to fix it. Until her honey moon is over, we will wait
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Psionics? Some other means of telling the future?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis taps a button, putting the chair back under the Captain's chair
<Chain> 6*Ama has moved with Iro in her arms to see Erevis
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Didn't Wind send some message about a Book of Prophecy being taken from him back when those Zombies attacked Earth and kidnapped Athena?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I recall something about that long ago
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers as Ama comes up the stairs
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "If these Others are in every reality, that might be something to theorize on."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, my goddess. *she has Lenneth, Jaime, and James on a chair on the bridge*
<Chain> <Ama> My darling, if I may have a word
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. *she turns toward Leyaeh* At least Kitten's dark matter research and devices are done. Once we return to the the black holes the Others are trying to use, we can destabilze them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I only wish to wait for more battleships to be built and equipped with Kitten's design
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks over to Ama
<Chain> 6*Iro mewls and holds chubby hands to Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sends in her report that the Erusian planet is 90% terraformed and the bunnies are busy digging
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes Iro and Lenneth, holding both
<Chain> <Ama> I sensed another Kitsune....however...
<Seraphna> LEyaeh> "Mmm, the Erusian Homeworld is nearly done."
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However?
<Chain> <Ama> It was unusual....it felt different than any I have felt before
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see... is it on PAX?
* Jackieness has joined #session261
<Kit> <Megumi> It wasn't my wish to develop weapons, but in this case, I suppose I have no choice.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically strokes Megumi's ears, bringing her over
<Chain> <Ama> No the earth
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shall I inform Lemon Mizukaze to look out for her, and perhaps Miyuki Nue Zhenmei?
<DeathStar> *them
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh flicks an ear. "I'll send a report down."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she hugs her girls, holding the babies*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 7.27.2225
<DeathStar> 6* Wind holds out his hands to the two who came with him
<DeathStar> <Wind> Grab on
<AquaKoala> *Teddy does so
<Jackieness> <XX> *grabs his hand as well*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind teleports toward the location indicated, appearing behind a tree as he leans around, spying on the four people ahead, two being carried by shadey looking people in cosplay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cass peers ahead
<AquaKoala> *Teddy watches them closely
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Renactors?
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... *he pauses, sensing another reality tear, a bigger one. And further away. This one does no show up on other sensors*
<DeathStar> <Wind> You two handle this
<DeathStar> 6* Wind teleports away
<Jackieness> <XX> "...annoying."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *comms* Where'd he run off too? Anyway. Find out who they are. Preferrably without a fight.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks and moves to wave over the cosplayers, looking as friendly as a giant bear can
<Jackieness> <XX> *sighs and unzips her front a bit before moving forward*
<DeathStar> 6* Cass holds onto Teddy. Rachael peers over Lersute's shoulder, and points. She speaks in a strange language
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <Giant strange bearoar!>
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <And a prostitute!>
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Why is that little girl riding it?]
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks, tilting his head at the language "Hello there!"
<Seraphna> Crim> [And they have a little girl captive.]
<DeathStar> 6* Butler at this point is passed out
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [...Did the bearroar just talk?]
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <... I think so...>
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets down, leaning on Leruste
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [...That's it. I'm done.]
<AquaKoala> *Teddy waves, giving a smile
<DeathStar> <Cass> Hi!
<Seraphna> * Crim puts a hand on his large red spear. [It looks oddly friendly.]
<DeathStar> <Cass> Are they Japanese?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *she eyes the woman* <Maybe the prostitute has tamed the bear as a protector?>
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy not recognize language, alien?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [What about the little girl? How does that fir into it?]
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *eyes the smile* <I think it's snarling>
<Jackieness> <XX> "They look brutish and dim-witted."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <Prostitutes sometimes have children
<AquaKoala> Teddy> That's rude XX.
<Seraphna> Crim> [Does that make the bear the father?]
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [I think the prostitute just insulted me. That sounded like an insult tone.]
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares at Crim
<Seraphna> Crim> "
<Seraphna> Crim> [What? I've seen weirder.]
<Seraphna> Crim> [I know Leruste after all.]
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Crim, stop making this weirder than it has to be.]
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael points at Butler's back, indicating the injury, and makes a heal spell flash, tryingt to get the point across they need a doctor
<DeathStar> <Cass> Wow. She can do flashes
<AquaKoala> *Teddy tilts his ead and moves over, looking at the wound
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *comms* "...Look, just bring them in. I'll send a shuttle out to you."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Bring doctor *comm
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Is it just me or does the prostitute just look annoyed?]
<Jackieness> <XX> "How irritating."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <Bad season for business>
<DeathStar> -Spinning Megumi-
<DeathStar> 6* At the base, Rachael stares at the technology while Butler is in a capsule being healed. Katrina stares at her, checking her ears and DNA, while Aya is being run through scans and frozen. So far the base hasn't been yet by Senreich in retaliation.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's definitely an evolved Famfrit
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina scans the others. Rachael looks at Leruste. <We must be in the past>
<AquaKoala> *Teddy plays nearby with Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Cass wheees as she's thrown in the air and caught
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Yeah... think we could stop the Gods this far back?]
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [I mean, it doesn't look like they've gotten here yet.]
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *she eyes the crystals, then comms Megumi* Can I see you, Megumi? *She says, seeing shards inside Butler, near her spinal cord*
<Seraphna> * Angel flaps and lands on Rachael's head, looking studious. Seraphna peers people over. "We'll have to find some way to translate..."
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ..." 6She clicks an affirm.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's mother, Eve, sits near Aya. She frowns, in a tactical suit, wired up
<Seraphna> Angel> "Hi!"
<DeathStar> 6 *RAchael looks up and jerks. "It's a tiny Kaji>!
<Jackieness> <XX> *continues to look irritated by her day.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Must have just hatched.]
<Seraphna> Angel> *waves at Rachae and hangs on* "Meep!"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Angel, don't startle the guests dear." <Angel> Sorry mommy! *She flutters into Seraphna's cleavage*
<Kit> 6Megumi makes her way to Katrina as requested
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste walks up to Seraphna [Careful, those things eat a LOT when they grow up. Hope you have a good pasture.]
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up as Megumi arrives in medical, and she shows the manifested crystals. "These remind me a bit of what you can do, but they're now dissolving and remain inside - their location makes it impossible to do surgery. I was wondering if you had any ideas on what to do? Shattering them is likely a bad idea next to the spinal cord, right?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Still can't understand what you're saying hon."
<DeathStar> 6* Sensor alarms pick up someone approaching the base
<DeathStar> 6 *Rachael grabs her ears, wincing in pain
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and moves to check the sensors.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks and moves with her
<DeathStar> 6* Outside, it seems Wind is approaching on foot, but he's in black and blue armor, with spikey hair and a sabre on his back.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler moves over to Rachael [You okay?]
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The hell...?" *she taps the outer comms* "Identify yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael nods as the alarm stops
* test5437 has joined #session261
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ moves to Seraphna's side "Should I get my spear ready?"
* test5437 has left #session261
<DeathStar> 6* Wind? looks up, arms crossed. "Seraphna. You don't recognize me."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Deathstar...?"
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> We need to talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks her head to the monitors. "He came back too..."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Damn right we do! Where the hell have you been!?"
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks at the crystals, studying them herself.
<Jackieness> <XX> "And just who is that supposed to be?"
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> Thinking. Can I come inside, or shall we play twenty questions through these comms. Senreich is coming, but not in the way you think
<Seraphna> * SEraphna notifies the guards to let him into the first holding zone to get into the base, just in case it's a trick. "Come in, I'll meet you there."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Should Teddy go with?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna makes her way over. "Ash, with me, the rest, stay inside."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods and sits back down
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Oh great, Baron von Deadguy is coming. 6*He moves with Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi likely can tell that they can be isolated, but never fully removed and will give Butler trouble forever more
<Seraphna> * Crim sits quietly, looking at Butler and thinking
<DeathStar> 6* DeathStar walks inside. Katrina looks at XX
<Kit> <Megumi> ... Can... not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is - was - the leader of the Hunters during the first Alien WAr.
<Kit> <Megumi> Separa...ted...nothing... more.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna makes her way over to him. "We'll save tjhe 20 questions for later when we have time to catch up, but what do you mean, not in the way we think?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Megumi, distracted in thought. "Thank you. I'll try to do that. Can you help?"
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> Wind has been removed from the picture - a reality tear was formed by something and he tried to seal it. The force of the explosion knocked him off grid. He'll take hours to pull himself together. Senreich is now using Maverick technology to teleport underground and will come up through the floor at your weakest point
<Kit> 6Megumi nods slowly.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "How the hell did you learn all that...? Nevermind... where's the point? We'll pour hot butter down his face."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...Well that's... uh...
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Should I ready the coffee gun?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That's what I was thinking, and a lot of explosives."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> But can the base survive the earthquake he plans to bring it all down?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No. We'll have to evacuate to the Ocean Base."
<Jackieness> <XX> "These goose stepper wannabes are irritating."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> Also, the Mavericks have found Harpuia and Leviantha in a desert to the east and are about to destroy them.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins the operation
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "You come bringing so much good news."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at Leruste, sensing something is wrong
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste rubs her shoulder
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> It's why I risked coming - I can't go showing my face as the most hated reploid in history
<Kit> 6Megumi observes, using her clairvoyance to assist in avoiding problems.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [It'll be fine, I'll protect you.]
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Why not? It looks awfully like the President's. Anyway..." *she taps her datapad, sending out a message to each hunter and special unit to begin a planned evacuation*
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> AS for the newcomers, if you still can't understand them, if Wind, when remaking this reality, recreated the Tower of Babel, it will be located here. *He points at map* It may be the quickest way to resolve the language barrier
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We'll have to send a team to save the other two while we evacuate."
<DeathStar> 6* DS turns to go
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <You mean me protect you>
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'd appreciate it if you didn't go. We need everyone we can get right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve studies Aya in her tube, rubbing it
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ moves to begin evac prep
<DeathStar> <DS> You realize after my stunt to bring humans and reploids together, if I'm seen, and they realize I'm not the President, you will have a lot of troub le
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Eh, we usually end up saving each other about evenly.]
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well for the next few hours, you're Wind."
<DeathStar> 6* DS shrugs. "Where do you want me, then, Seraphna?"
<DeathStar> 6* He looks around, quietly, a longing in his blue eyes
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Helping get back the two advanced Reploids before they fall into Sigma's hands."
<DeathStar> <DS> Alright.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks at Ash. "I'm sending you, Anyata and Teddy with him."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Evac them and anyone else not a Maverick to the Sea Base."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...In fact, take Null too."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Yes sir.
<DeathStar> 6* DS twirls his saber in his hand as he listens
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sends out the orders to Null, Anyata and Teddy. "Anyata will serve as field commander for the mission. But listen to DS, he's a vet."
<DeathStar> 6* DS moves off camera with his team, to pop up later
<Jackieness> <XX> "And the rest of us?"
<DeathStar> 6* For now, we'll focus on those still on the base
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Megumi continue to work, 1/4th done. Rachael watches them
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then heads in, making sure John and Elayne are evacuating with the kids as well. She taps her comms. "Senreich is coming for this base, due to his method of attack, we are evacuatign all personell to Sea Base."
<DeathStar> 6* John lifts his head and nods. He pauses, peering at AYa hooked up to cyrogenics
<DeathStar> <John> How do we plan to move Aya?
<DeathStar> 6* Eve frowns, her eyes gleaming in anger.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Using a portable generator. We'll have her teleported right into X1's lab."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's risk it or leave her in a base about to be swallowed up by an Earthquake."
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste watches them as well [Wonder what put sand in their pants.]
<DeathStar> <John> Is the Station out in the Ocean even ready for this?
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at the damaged, offline Iceheart too
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No, but we'll have to speed up production."
<DeathStar> 6* A cup begins to shake
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *frowns* "I don't know how to stop this attack and we don't have time."
<Jackieness> <XX> "The fool is coming."
<DeathStar> <John> Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves to a teleporter to get the kids
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [...Am I the only one who feels that shaking ooooor?]
<DeathStar> 6* Eve uses a vine to whip snap a portable generator over to Aya's thing
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps working, over half-way done with Megumi
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can't leave until I finish, Sera
<Seraphna> * Seraphna hits the alert, having staff evacuate. She frowns. Leading the guests to a telepeort and sending them off.
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael jerks from Sera's grasp, pointing at Butler
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'll confuigure a field to teleport you Katrina, keep working."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna gives them a reassuring sound.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Any specific orders for me?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then works on getting the generator up. "Yes, you're going to be teleporting Katrina and this girl over with Megumi."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stubbornly remains by Kat
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [Rach, sounds like they have it covered. C'mon...]
<Jackieness> <XX> "Understood." *walks over to Katrina's side*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> <No>
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste sighs, but stays with his wife
<DeathStar> 6* The shaking grows worse, making it harder on Katrina, who relies more on Meg's clairvoyance
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is annoying...
<Kit> <Megumi> Remain... calm...
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns, shaking her head. "I'll have to teleport them too." *she pulls up base controls and sets a device on Aya's case, working on teleporting her and Eve over*
<Seraphna> * Elayne helps John with the kids and making sure that Cheryl and Kumiko come over.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets everyone rounded up and over
<Seraphna> * Anyata retrieves Atayna and heads over to the Sea Base.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya vanishes, her fate unknown. Atayana already went off camera
<Kit> 6Megumi glances between Leruste and Rachael, nodding for some reason.
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart's body lays about
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches Megumi, nodding back
<Seraphna> * Seraphna secures Iceheart's body and sends her over next.
<DeathStar> 6* Her ears shift a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Megumi reach the final bit when the base splits in two, jerking and sending Katrina sliding toward the crack, leaving Megumi to finish
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> [...Do we know her?]
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then sets up a field around the visitors, Katrina, Meg and Butler.
<Kit> 6Megumi holds out her free hand to grasp Katrina telekinetically.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds out her hand, sending a Gale Blast aroudn to pull Kat back, she grips the teleport control.
<DeathStar> 6* The base begins to tilt more like the Titanic. Katrina is snagged telekenetically
<Jackieness> <XX> "We must leave now."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "Meg, are we ready?"
<DeathStar> 6* As she's held by Megumi, the gale burst pulls her back to the operating table.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not quite....
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns just slightly, keeping herself, the table and Butler and Leruste and Rachael anchored as if gravity hadn't shifted.
<Seraphna> * Crim holds on tight.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "30 seconds. Then I'm sending us all over."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches and begins to try to wrap it up as the base sinks lower. XX's favorite upgrade can be seen falling into the abyss
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright..got it!
<Jackieness> <XX> "Why didn't anyoen get that?!"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods and hits the button. "XX, SYNC NOW."
<Kit> 6Megumi nods, and grasps the upgrade instead now that she doesn't need to hold everyone.
<Jackieness> <XX> *tries to teleport them in sync*
<Kit> <Megumi> Ex... pensive.
<DeathStar> 6* They jump, with upgrade
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-593.8.15
<DeathStar> 6* Isis works on the chair for her first day back - this taking place after various minis that are still being done and likely will be done with her on her honey moon. Working on PAX by day, living at the mansion by night, except when Miyuki stays on the PAX which happens some times, by Erevis' insistence. With a second battleship done and Ao's battleship returning now that the Erusian Homeworld is finished and other ships are going there to take over, leaving it to scientists to study off camera and at Jackie's leisure, the three ships are together, preparing for the last battleship that will be ready any time soon to be finished in the next few weeks. Ao's ship jumps back to the Erusian Homeworld every other day to check on it and explore the area.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis runs her hand along the chair, while Erevis deals with various crisises going on with races. The need for crystals has been rising and Thomas has been having to give the fish people more minor ships, and they seem on the verge of joining full time.
<Seraphna> * Leyeah has extra security on duty today while Isis works.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, though, it seems their real problem is Loki is beginning to get impatient ofr them to help free the Cartel Homeworld.
<AquaKoala> *Thomas works on his deck, going over some stuff for the fish people
<DeathStar> 6* While meditating again, Ama feels the strange Kitsune, the location more pronounced so she can give Lemon the heads up
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa, unfortunately, has to go back to her studies for now.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the person is in the south
<Chain> 6*Ama takes her datapad and messages Lemon
<Seraphna> * Ulieah mews, "We need save Lokiman soon and spank big sis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits with Megumi, Leyaeh, Thomas, and others
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Agreed....but we cannot devert forces to the Cartel Planets and deal with the blackholes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And push into the Ascendency to help them
<kalonZombie> 6*Fi'Rel sits in on the meeting since the Gitari have joined full time and I'm pretty sure she'd be able to sit in on stuff like this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The blackholes are still the biggest priority. If they can find a way to Earth with them, it is over. 6* She says this apologetically to Ulieah and Yasha
<AquaKoala> Thomas> The extra man power and ships could come in handy though, they would probably help if we did.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> "Then we fix holes, since they could bring reinforcemets to Cartel anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon lets Ama know she is on it.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> "I sure Loki understand, then when Cartel is part of Empire, promise of technology fulfilled!"
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I wonder who swindled who..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I merely worry about battling in the Famfrit blackhole cluster.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Your plight is undertstood. It is the burden of leadership."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> For now we must focus on what we can accomplishi
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "We'll have to be careful, but the hazards that give us trouble likely bother the Others too."
<kalonZombie> <Fi'Rel> We can only hope.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then let us move forward
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon has sent Em, Miyuki, Kasha, Peter, Josephine, and Hale out to the location in the south. Josephine is going along since one of the money trails she's been chasing is born here anyway, as Darien's team worked in the area briefly and they can go over the area if they have time
<DeathStar> 6* The van they're in is decked out with lots of cool weapons, but looks normal
<Seraphna> * Peter drives, being a great driver.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Peter, your driving sucks. 6*He says with a grin
<Seraphna> Peter> "Thems fightin words Lieutenant."
<DeathStar> 6* As they drive along, they pass an apartment building that Darien's old team lived in - outside is where Erevis and Xanatos spent hours learning about Erevis' humanity. This is the area of the kitsune thati s not a kitsune's appearance
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Don't antagonize the guy behind the wheel." *checks one of her pistols*
<Seraphna> Peter> "So we're here to find a kitsune that's... not a kitsune. Great."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki makes a face
<kalonZombie> <Hale> So in short we have no idea what we're really looking for.
<DeathStar> 6* Em steps out. Isis is in the van too, taking a break from the machine after learning what this area was
<DeathStar> 6* Isis looks about, peering at the apartment complex
<DeathStar> <Isis> So this is where mom lived after PAX1 station was destroyed....
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale steps out, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the building, trying to picture her mother, knowing nothing about the humanity she was now introduced to by taking Katrina's body, trying to learn it from Xanatos
<Seraphna> Peter> "Along with Chad. That had to be fun."
<Kit> <Kasha> One that feels weird, doesn't mean it's not..
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "So what else can you tell me about this place?" *steps out, sliding her pistol back into the holster*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki flicks her ears as she tries to sense the area
<Seraphna> * Peter gets out, frowning a bit and shaking his head over some stray thought that rewrites itself. "This is where... Legion first started causing problems. I believe. And Dahok first appeared."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves to go inside and see if Ereivs' room is untouched, since Darien owns the building still
<DeathStar> <Isis> This was before Legion's time
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves with them, getting his rifle out
<Seraphna> Peter> "Was it? Who was the problem again?"
<Seraphna> * Peter adjusts his coat and peers around for problems.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis heads upstairs
<DeathStar> 6* As Miyuki and KAsha sense, they would feel a kitsune that's...different nearby. In the building
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sniffs and moves into the building
<Seraphna> Peter> "Looks like she's... got a scent?"
<Seraphna> * PEter heads after her.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale follows Peter
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "HEads after Miyuki*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki smacks Peter with her tail
<Jackieness> *
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'm not a dog
<Chain> tails^
<Seraphna> Peter> "What? It's not like I'm giving you biscuits." *sniffs* "Now you don't get one." *he gives an actual biscuit to Hale*
<DeathStar> <Isis> Miyuki!!! Come here!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Isis shouts from a room, her voice raised
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale eats it.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hurries to Isis
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Not bad. Little bland but- 6*He blinks at Isis and follows Miyuk
<kalonZombie> *Miyuki
<Seraphna> * Peter looks at Hale, then Miyu running when called, then eats his buscuit and follows*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *draws one of her twin pistols and moves after the others to where Isis is*
<DeathStar> 6* as Miyuki enters the room - she'd see a blasti nto the past. Drawings on the wall, colored with age, of the team. There's a lot of Xanatos on the wall, brooding and looking emo, sad and lost, without Katrina, but also Cass and Setsuna, both having feelings but not admitting it at this time, and others that were on the team at this time. Snow falling, no doubt Erevis' first time seeing it, an iced pond that Erevis drew, for some reason, children playing, flowers growing. There's also posters of cute animals. There's little belongings in here, but clothes do hang up - from the era so long ago, nearly 5 years now I think
<DeathStar> <Isis> I... never thought I would see such things
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, KAsha, who hasn't followed, would see a tail moving out the back door
<Chain> 6*Miyuki smiles gently at them
<DeathStar> 6* There's a diary on a table
<Kit> <Kasha> Eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis eyes the diary, reaching for it slowly, stopping, and hesitating
<Kit> 6Kasha wiggles uncontrollably, then follows the tail like a cat.
<DeathStar> 6* Kasha steps out back, she'd see a blonde kitsune moving along
<Kit> <Kasha> Uwaa! Fox!
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "I'm going to go look around."
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale blinks, moving for Kasha "Which way?"
<Seraphna> * Peter lets Hale check on Kasha and nods to Josephine.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox seems to be trying to move for the neigherbood ahead
<DeathStar> 6* Isis snatches it, blinking at the commotion
<DeathStar> <ISis> I think we found the kitsune
<Chain> <Miyuki> Peter, stay and look after Isis, I'm going to that kitsune
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads back to look around the apartment building*
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves after the fox
<Seraphna> * Peter nods and looks at Isis.
<DeathStar> 6* Em, who has been guarding the van, peers around
<DeathStar> <Em> <Should I speed tackle?>
<Chain> 6*Miyuki foxholes after Kasha
<kalonZombie> <Hale> <Do it.>
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *opens one door and goes inside*
<DeathStar> 6* Em speed dashes toward the kitsune; the kitsune suddenly thrusts her palm out and Em goes down like a puppet who's strings were cut, but isn't hurt. The manuever and energy used is unlike things kitsune use. She turns, her face squinting back, looking 24ish, her tail swishing, beautiful blonde hair about
<DeathStar> 6* She's not that far from KAsha and Miyuki - 200 meters.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale winces, trying to catch up with Kasha and Miyuki
<Chain> 6*Miyuki materializes beside Kasha
<Chain> <Miyuki> Need a lift/
<Kit> <Kasha> Another fox!
<Kit> 6Kasha points and hops excitedly.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods and picks up Kasha
<Chain> <Miyuki> ready?
<DeathStar> 6* The woman blinks at seeing Miyuki and Kasha
<DeathStar> <Woman> Dha blaer caha?
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves towards Em "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Em strains. "I feel...like I can't access my powers..."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves to try to find JOsephine
<Kit> <Kasha> Hai!
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale picks her up and carries her back to the van, looking over at Kasha and Miyu who seem to have it under control
<Seraphna> * Peter follows Isis as a bodyguard.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods and tosses Kasha over to the otherside of the kitsune, blocking her escape
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *comm* "Someone has been in here."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis blinks as she joins JOsephine
<DeathStar> <Isis> Who?
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale reports in to Peter "Peter, looks like Kasha and Miyu caught up to our mystery guest. I tried to have Em intercept but... appparently she did something to Em."
<DeathStar> 6* The kitsune turns, peering at her escape route being blocked, tensing
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Someone who likes expensive perfume."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Isis, our girl is outside."
<DeathStar> 6* The kitsune calmly holds up her hands, then reaches for Kashain a way that looks like she's not trying to be threatening, but touch her
<DeathStar> <Isis> I know, but Josephine also came here for a reason - I felt it wrong to leave her alone
<Seraphna> * Peter nods, peering at Josephone. "Watch Isis, alright Jose?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki's tails writhe as she starts to get closer to her
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Understood."
<Kit> 6Kasha tilts her head, holding out her hands the same way
<Seraphna> * Peter heads out to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* The kitsune touches Kasha, focusing a moment
<Kit> 6Kasha hugs the kitsune.
<DeathStar> 6* KAsha can tell by touch this kitsune is different - and when they hug more so. Her energy is different - evolved differently and changed.
<DeathStar> <Kitsune Woman> Cha...a.... stand me?
<DeathStar> <Isis> *she runs scans of the air*
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale puts Em back into the van, keeping an eye on Kasha and Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* Em slowly sits up in the van, working her hands
<Seraphna> * When Peter gets out the door he makes a Ninpo sign and launches himself over to land near the Kitsune with Wind Ninpo. He steadies himself and peers her and Kasha over.
<DeathStar> 6* The woman looks at KAsha and Miyuki. "You are Azuha?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Perfume is French and pricey. I got a bottle on my sweet sixteen." *looks around*
<Chain> <Miyuki> No, Kitsune
<DeathStar> <Isis> *jots notes*
<DeathStar> <Woman> Kitsune?
<DeathStar> <Woman> What is that?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki points to ears and tails
<Seraphna> Peter> "Did she say Azuha?"
<Kit> <Kasha> Hai.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Our guests used that word to describe you two before."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman studies them; she seems to hold herself very reserved, like a leader, and despite appearing 24, she seems much older in the eyes
<DeathStar> <Woman> Guests?
<DeathStar> <Woman> I am being rude. I am ... Gemane.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Guests, some interesting names too, Aschae, Seth, Belit."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Germane? Do you know Bel?
<DeathStar> <Gemane> Belit?
<Chain> <Miyuki> Or who was that meat head....Narok?
<DeathStar> <Gemane> Yes. I know them all.
<Seraphna> * PEter nods. "You're one of those who got seperated then."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Then you should come with us, we'll bring you all back together
<Seraphna> Peter> "Any others with you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Gemane's tail shifts. "Yes. It seems we all have much to talk about." 6* She studies Miyuki and Kasha, touching their ears a moment, letting go as if that is a private area. o"Kitsune..."
<DeathStar> <Gemane> No. I am alone. 6* She moves to follow them, this will be followed up in minis, including Josephine's
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Classic Realm
<DeathStar> 6* DS flies a shuttle hot and wild, clearly a damn good pilot, if not wild. Null, Teddy/Cass, Anyata, and whoever else ion the back
<Seraphna> * Ash was also sent.
<DeathStar> 6* So far he's not really spoken much, no doubt figuring they don't want to talk to a hated reploid like him, after what happened in the events of the story TAW: Children of Light, which you can read
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers at him. "...You did all the real work when X and Zero fought the Mavericks."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy quietly plays with Cass
<Kit> <Null> Yeah. Even if it was a dream.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ moves with Anyata, looking at DS
<DeathStar> <DS> IF you're referring to the Maverick Wars in the past, I was a cog in a system, just like X and Zero
<DeathStar> <DS> They handled the Maverick Masters and Sigma, while Dominator, Slash, and I handled the legions of Mavericks out there
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Mmm. Well, Miss Seraphna trusts you, so I do. Dominator... was a friend of mine."
<Kit> <Null> Still...
<DeathStar> 6* DS boosts into a canyon, rapidly trying to catch up when a shadow falls over them
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...Maverick contact?"
<DeathStar> <DS> You can learn a lot from X and Zero before Zero's insanity
<DeathStar> <DS> Yes.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> I'm ready.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks at the shadow and looks out a window
<DeathStar> 6* Chill Penguin's flying vessel is above them
<DeathStar> 6* A flying penguin shaped ship
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Penguin plane?
<Seraphna> * ANyata groans. "Fire element needed. It seems they're reviving more Robot Masters."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy shoot fire rocket?
<DeathStar> 6* DS frowns and boosts upward, flying up beside it
<DeathStar> 6* The massive beast is big enough someone could run along it and battle it like an entire level
<Seraphna> * Anyata nods.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...Chilly's back? Seriously? He was like... the lamest guy ever.
<DeathStar> <DS> It's based on Storm Eagle's ship I see.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves over to the hatch looking ready to jump across
<DeathStar> <DS> Which itself was a strange design.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Horrible pattern, I believe the notes were. Try firing from here Teddy, retrieval will take time."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> At least Storm's had SOME dignity. This is just gaudy as hell.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods and his chest comes apart, a misce firing out of it towards the ship
<AquaKoala> *missle
<DeathStar> 6* The missile hits the ship, doing 0 damage. DS muses. 6" Hold your fire."
<DeathStar> 6* He shifts and begins to fly in closer, avoiding fire as he tries to get them toward the engines, which are two spinning tail shaped propellers.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Seriously, look at this thing. It's just... what the hell man?
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods and waits for the word
<Kit> <Null> Before insanity..
<DeathStar> <DS> This will take a combination of moves. Teddy. You will fire your missile at that left engine and cause an explosion - while thata is happening, Anyata will teleport Null who will begin to eabsorb it
<Seraphna> Anyata> "They do have Dr. Wily building for them."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods "On three?"
<DeathStar> <DS> Null, you will then unleash it back through the engine exhaust
<DeathStar> <DS> Anyata, you iwll teleport her back.
<Seraphna> * Anyata nods and picks up Null like a weapon.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy ches comes apart again
<DeathStar> <DS> Ash, take the weapon controls and shoot down projectiles
<DeathStar> <DS> On 3.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ nods, getting into the weapons seat
<Seraphna> * Anyata readies herself to teleport to the blast location with Null.
<DeathStar> <DS> 1. 2. 3. (OGs coming up. Teddy will go first)
<Kit> <Null> Uh-- right
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself TEddy
<AquaKoala> (Ready)
<DeathStar> 6* Up, LEft, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 6* The missile flies in at the perfect angle, hitting the engine and damaging it in a mighty explosion for Null to absorb - prepare yourself NULL

<DeathStar> 6* Anyata painfully pushes neergy into Null by shooting her so her absorption takes over, causing Null damage, but Null absorbs the explosion and is able to fire it down the tunnel. Howeer, it's not perfect and the explosion, while taking out the exhaust port, knocks Anyata and Null both off, separating them as they fall through the air. AT this moment, projectiles are comingi n for Ash to shoot
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Up, Down

<Seraphna> * Anyata grumbles and attempts to first teleport just below Null to catch her, then teleport back to the shuttle using her energy reserves.
<DeathStar> 6* Anyata will have to do a complicated OG to achieve this, prepare ytourself, as missiles explode around her from Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 6* Anyata peers on the shuttle, damaged a bit as the flying penguin ship crashes into the canyon top and begins to, blowing up sections and knocking rock loose and sending it flying; DS boosts along, aflipping to avoid it as areas blow up
<Seraphna> * Anyata sits back, using her Repair Kit so she can recharge energy for battle.
<DeathStar> <DS> Good job. You might make the old generation proud yet.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* And now!!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's team. Let me see if I can get the log of the final lines
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks out, dazed - no sign of thei ce helped Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Seth opens the hatch to check on Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* A green robot like poerson and a female robot like person are out there, panting, damaged and sparking, having helped.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Female Robot> You picked a bad time to crash the party.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* She leans on a lance.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Jennifer> "Reploids..."
<DeathStar> <kalonZombie> <Ethan> Does that mean we made it?
<DeathStar> <Kit> <Harupia> ... Made... it?
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Jean checks on Truth with the mark, whos back was healed.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Leviathan looks up and points, sparking
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Jennifer jerks and rushes out to check on Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Jennifer doesn't see Cheryl, but she does see --- 100 Mavericks rushing down the mountain cliff, blasters armed, with a Vile with a damaged helmet leading them
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Leviathan> Made it to hell
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "These clowns..." *she frowns and ducks back inside* "Chii! I need you to sense out Cheryl!"
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> What do you mean these clowns? You know them?
<DeathStar> 6* Leviathan holds her side, sparking a bit. The Mavericks begin to blast the shuttle, blowing out chunks of it
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I may or may not have fought the Mavericks before."
<Seraphna> * Truth creates a Holy Barrier outside the shuttle to buy them some time.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks around, confused at the chaos, and Lorelei squeals, holding Aurica and Broney and Pupumi
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> ...Doesn't surprise me one bit, honestly.
<DeathStar> 6t* Nearby is a cave opening
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "We need to get over to that cave. Now."
<Chain> 6*Umi and Pup stare out, Broney growling softly
<Kit> 6Harupia stands, letting energy wings form and forms two sabers again, taking off to fight the mavericks after the shuttle. 1"Withdraw!"
<DeathStar> 6* Leviathan moves to follow
<DeathStar> <Vile> Remember, I want their data chips!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds Wyrd in her hands, and whips out and takes out a MAverick hopper that busts through the back of the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Jean> This place is scary.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "They're not after us, they want those two. Kids to safety. Now."
<DeathStar> 6* She can feel a few in the mark, faintly, far away.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei moves with Pupumi, trying to get ot the cave - when Mavericks fire down at her
<Seraphna> * Truth forms two blades and her armors, leaping out with Jean and slashing with Holy Strikes at any neaby Mavericks.
<DeathStar> <Mavericks> HUmans with tails!
<DeathStar> <MAverick> I told you they were monkeys!
<kalonZombie> *Ethan moves for the cave
<Kit> 6Harupia dives to slice through waves.
<Chain> 6*Broney tails after Pup and Lore, Umi going to keep them safe
<DeathStar> 6* Harupia takes out several wives, but the MAvericks seem to fire in droves to take him out, blasting chunks of armor off of him. Leviathan doesn't fair much better.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei squeals, stopping as a big blast comes down for her head
<Seraphna> * Jennifer holds out a Spirit Blast to intercept the shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The blast is stopped by Jennifer
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei jerks and dashes into the cave
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tiwrls and destroys three more reploids with her Wyrd chain. "Into the cave!" 6* She throws Aschae in
<Seraphna> * Seth leaps out and fires Ice Blasts and Cones of Cold at enemies as he makes his way towards the cave.
<DeathStar> 6* then rushes and dives in, rolling
<Seraphna> * Jennifer grabs Chii and tosses her for the cave, then rushes in herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to spark, about to explode
<Seraphna> * Truth moves after Jean, guarding her and the others.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer tries to see if Cheryl is anywhere in sight.
<DeathStar> 6* Vile watches as the two advanced reploids destroy the majority of the waves, then times his shots and fires two canon shots, disabling Harupia and Leviathan, dropping them to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is still out of sight
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Can you get those two?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, seeing the MAvericks moving to the cave, using EArth Magik and collapses the entrance, sealing them inside and plunging them into darkness
<DeathStar> <Jean> No.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Damnit... where the hell is Cheryl..."
<DeathStar> 6* The camera remains inside
<Seraphna> * Seth peers around, then hisses a bit as Truth creates a Light Orb.
<Kit> <Aschae> I believe those two were... disabled?
<kalonZombie> 6*Cronie, who kalon just remembered is also here, totally came in the cave as well. Yup. Ran right in here. Ethan can attest he surely ran here.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Owww... warning next time."
<DeathStar> (*ran in and got crushed by Jena. Jean is traumatized*)
<DeathStar> 6* aurica is crying
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks shaken herself and Jean picks up Lorelei, touching and making her fall asleep
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan moves over to her "Heyyyy shhh it's okay it's okay"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer picks up Aurica and cradles her. "Shhh... it's okay sweetie."
<DeathStar> <Jean> This place is very hostile
<kalonZombie> 6*Her being Aurica
<Chain> 6*Brony shifts till he is in his humanoid form and holds her hand
<Kit> <Aschae> Indeed, reminds me of home.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...If Vile won out there he might try and get in just out of curiosity."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "We need to contact Wind. Cheryl might have just gotten blown in another direction away from this."
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> That's... not good. Wait- Vile, seriously, that's his name?
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> What next? Evil McBadguy?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I know, I know. But he works for Sigma."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica holds onto Brony, her Tuxedo Fox
<Seraphna> * Jennifer frowns and pulls out a datapad, trying to see if she can get any frequencies in this reality.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a lot of technology about
<DeathStar> 6* The MAvericks move about outside the rock, blasting at it
<DeathStar> <Jean> .... We need to go further in, or make a stand
<Seraphna> * Truth looks about.
<DeathStar> 6* The cave tunnel does go further in
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Further in, we can't risk the kids."
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> Yeah. Let's go.
<DeathStar> 6* she holds her dog!
<Seraphna> * Jennifer starts leading them deeper, Truth providing light. Seth reinforces the rocks with a sheet of ice and heads after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean rubs Umi's head. "Help protect Lorelei."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stays in the back, trying to create more earth barriers to slow the MAvericks
<DeathStar> 6* lorelei, unconscious, is laid out on Pupumi's back
<Chain> 6*Umi nods and cuddles Lorelei, Pup shifting to her humanoid form, all teenie Umi
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan and cronie follow.
<Seraphna> * Seth keeps moving, carrtying Chii over his shoulder.
<Seraphna> * Truth drags Aschae along.
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel along, the ground shakes and suddenly, a Maverick that looks like some Spark Mandril busts in front of them
<DeathStar> <Mandril> No escape!
<DeathStar> <Jean> I sense no human life from them
<DeathStar> *organic
<Seraphna> * Jennifer growls and puts her hands together, firing a spirit blast. "Go back to whatever outdated century you came from!"
<DeathStar> 6* The upgraded reploid knocks the blast aside easilty
<Seraphna> * Seth forms an Ice Sword and Ice Shield, getting ready. Truth holds her weapons ready.
<kalonZombie> 6*Cronie draws his bastard sword and shield
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds the chian sword
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "D_Damnit..."
<DeathStar> 6* turning into a spinning mess, it spins right at them, a field making it invincible
<DeathStar> 6* Jean throws herself tgo the side
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica trusts her Tuxuedo Bark
<Seraphna> * Jennifer leaps aside, as does Seth, Truth guards the kids.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan and Cronie leap to avoid
<DeathStar> 6* Armadillo rolls on
<DeathStar> 6* It keeps goingt until it hits a certain metallic rock that knocks it out - the rock, strangely, is a simple ore. It looks dizzy
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> ... Seriously?
<Seraphna> Truth> "...Metal?"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Strike it while it's dazed!"
<Seraphna> * Seth casts Ice Shards Lv. 3 and hurls them at it's back.
<DeathStar> 6* JEan whips out with Wyrd, striking it's back
<Kit> 6Aschae tilts her head, and tries using Freeze on it.
<Seraphna> * Truth fires a Holy Blast II at it's back.
<DeathStar> 6* Armadillo is struck, sparking and parts of it fall off, then the freeze and holy blasts it hit, damaging it - magik seems to work well, as it begins to blow up
<DeathStar> 6* The explosion,however, makes the area shake. Jean points at the tunnel it dug to get down there
<DeathStar> <Jean> We must get out now
<Kit> 6Aschae nods, motioning them to do so
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Right."
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> This place is weird, even for my life.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean forms earth hand grips, panting, weak now
<Seraphna> * Jennifer grabs Aurica and Bropup and heads there.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan nods, cronie puts his sword away
<Seraphna> * Seth forms ice to help hold up the place a moment longer and rushes to the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer keeps falling, her strength not enough to carry both
<DeathStar> 6* This means she falls down onto Seth
<Chain> 6*Pup and Umi follow, holding Lore
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan and Cronie follow carefully
<Seraphna> * Jennifer carries Aurica only then.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan will carry Bropup
<DeathStar> 6* Jean picks up Chii over her shoulder, then begins to clim, despite her weakness
<Seraphna> * Truth helps Jean out. And Seth heads down.
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnel leads upward, a light seen above.
<Kit> 6Chii ebbs some of her spirit energy into Jean
<Kit> 6Aschae takes up the rear, since she can provide defenses with her magik if necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at Chii, studying her, a curiously longing expression on her face a moment before she focuses on climbing - from this closeness, Chii can tell she smells a bit like Cheryl and herself, but it's artifical in ways
<DeathStar> 6* The cave slowly collapses behind them as they begin to reach the top. As they do a shuttle is seen and a ramp lowers. A girl on a giant robot bear is there, the bear reaching down
<DeathStar> <Girl> Hi!
<DeathStar> <Girl> Grab on!
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...I..."
<DeathStar> 6* DS shouts from the pilot seat. "Do it!"
<Seraphna> * Jennifer moves over to leap on with Aurica.
<DeathStar> 6* DS looks back - to those without keen eyes it's Wind
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan grabs on, not even bothering to question it anymore
<Kit> <Aschae> Well now, that's unique.
<Seraphna> * Truth picks up Jean and Wind Jumps up, Seth does the same.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sees Jennifer doing it and wind bursts herself onboard with Chii, panting
<Kit> 6Chii shifts to take Jean instead and leaps upward-- like an ex-ninja.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean squeaks as Chii and Truth helop her
<Kit> 6Aschae leaps off Truth to reach upward.
<kalonZombie> 6*Cronie tries to hop on as well
<Chain> 6*Umi and Pup blink at the robo bear and hurry after the rest
<DeathStar> 6* Chii can feel Cheryl moving away, as if flying on something
<Kit> <Chii> <Where are you going..?>
<DeathStar> 6* DS does a head count and begins to fly along
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Wind? Or..." *she peers*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <The Maverick vessel. Vile has me. Too weak...to fight him off...> *She's barely conscious
<DeathStar> <DS> Death Star. Hold on. We're here to pick up two advanced reploids from Maverick hands
<AquaKoala> *Teddy waves to all the new people
<DeathStar> 6* DS boosts, closing the ramp, trying to catch up - an advanced super suhttle is seen ahead.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Chii, have your found Cheryl yet?"
<DeathStar> 6* DS targets with all his weapons, about to blow it out of the sky - the reploids can be repaired later. He seems unaware Cheryl is aboard and can't be.
<DeathStar> <DS> Teddy, Ash, Null, Anyata, get ready to hit this with everything - it's faster than us. We only have one shot.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods and moves by the hatch
<Seraphna> * ANyata nods and gets ready as well.
<DeathStar> 6* DS begins to lock on while he can, the window closing to fire.
<AquaKoala> *Teddt waits for he word
<AquaKoala> *the
<DeathStar> <DS> Just hope Harupia and Leviathan forgive me after we scrape up their pieces.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ nods and waits
<DeathStar> 6* Chii has mere moments to stop DS from blowing up her wife-u
<Kit> <Null> Right.
<Kit> <Chii> You do it I'll kill you.
<DeathStar> <DS> What are you talking about?
<Kit> <Chii> Cherry's on that thing.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm going.
<DeathStar> 6* DS eyes the window closing, his hand reaching for the trigger. He pauses.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks. "Our Cheryl isn't a reploid."
<DeathStar> <DS> What? *He looks at Chii.. Chii won't be able to reach it at this time, though*
<Seraphna> Truth> "Can we disable the shuttle somehow?"
<DeathStar> <DS> No. *he flexes his hand., then eyes Chii* If it gets away, can you find it later?
<Kit> <Chii> I don't need to." 6She smiles, holding up a hand and starts to chant, beckoning on Aether.
<Kit> <Chii> Aether, Phoenix, I could use a hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ahead suddenly does a strange warp and vanishes, disappearing from sight
<Kit> <Chii> Well fuck.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "She can track it later."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "She has a telepathic link with Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <DS> It's a new warp they got from the Bot Homeworld
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Must be pretty advanced..."
<DeathStar> 6 *DeathStar quietly studies them all. Jean is silent, trying to feel out those in the mark, and eyeing Teddy and the rest, not sure what to make of them. Lorelei is waking up and rubbing her face
<Seraphna> * Jennifer sighs. "You don't know me, I'm Jennifer Carmichael. We're friends of Wind."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> *He looks at Anyata* I say we keep tracking them. If we go back to the Hunter Station we might be too late.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> Are you with me on this?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I agree."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods "teddy agree"
<Seraphna> Anyata> "They cannto get the data off those reploids, they are too powerful as is."
<DeathStar> 6* Death Star nods, then sets Chii in the co pilot seat. "Then we drop off the kids in Mega City and keep going."
<Chain> 6*Umi and Pup rub cheecks with Lore
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei giggles and nuzzles back.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Alright then.
<DeathStar> -FINAL SCENE-
<DeathStar> Location: Hunter Station
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone that teleported earlier appears on the floating ocean station that fell from space. It's still being worked on, so that it doesn't sink, and the half under water can be sed.
<DeathStar> *used*
<AquaKoala> *Butler continues being unconscious
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs, sending staff to start speeding up getting it's defenses up to strength.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We've got a lot of work to do."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's machine is barely working right, but is working
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the scanners which are working
<DeathStar> <John> We have a problem.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> <John> There's a large 5th Column battle armada coming our way.
<DeathStar> <John> They'll be here in an hour.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This place isn't battle worthy yet...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Then this is where we make our stand. We'll have to call in the military and hold out till they can get here."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We're out of strongholds to run to... I think." *she frowns and peers at everyone* "WE have an hour to get as many defenses as possible online."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Rachael and Leruste and Crim
<Seraphna> * Seraphna then makes the mayday call, sending for military reinforcements.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We should send them with one person we can spare to the Tower of Babel
<DeathStar> <Eve> I will take them
<DeathStar> <Eve> Unless you want me to repair things. *she is an engineer*
<DeathStar> <John> I suck at engineering. I'll go with them
<Jackieness> <XX> "These self-proclaimed nazis are getting on my nerves."
<DeathStar> <John> Then, XX, in an hour you get to sink their battleships
<DeathStar> 6* John holds out a hand
<DeathStar> <John> Lets end tis
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Alright. John go, Eve, I need your brains here."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Finally."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, touching her daughter's capsule lovingly, then moves to get to work. Cheryl sits around, waiting for fighting to begin
<DeathStar> 6* John waits to shake XX's hand, hoping she doesn't leave him hanging
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs John's hand, tugs him to her and kisses him deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks and kisses Seraphna
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You be safe."
<DeathStar> <John> I will. *he pats XX's shoulder, then points at Leruste and Rachael and Crim, indicating to follow, grabbing gear.*
