<DeathStar> Cheryl brings together a meeting for the Reality Strikers in which she underlines Wind having been missing for five years in the Nazi-ruled Classic reality whilst Seinrich has become prominent and rampant with his experimentation upon the Classic reality's eggs of its own dead Cheryl and points out its similarities to the Alternate reality's plights. The apparent return of Death Star is also touched upon.
<DeathStar> The first order of business is to re-enter the Alternate reality and permananently cast aside what allows the Illium to enter Prime and vice versa, as well as provies their source of amber weaponry, then meet up with the resistance of Aya the Oracle and the remaining members upon her nebula planet.
<DeathStar> After gaining their trust if need be, traveling to the Classic reality would be in order to locate the missing Wind or destroy its risen guardians to return the reality powers stolen to Wind and/or Cheryl herself. Knowingly, she forces Zephyr and Megumi to sit the sidelines for the first mission if they want to participate at all. Miyuki Nue volunteers to lead the primary assault.
<DeathStar> Meanwhile, in the aftermath of Classic's own escapades, the group gets ready for another fight while licking its wounds and losses. John having been in critical since their last encounter, has had a donation from Aya to stabilize, but when he awakens quickly realizes at what cost. His arm succumbs to the taint of his motenk blood and goes berserk even while tranquilized "eating him from the inside," but Katrina's faith in him assures that he will overcome.
<DeathStar> In Alternate, a month has passed and Aya, the Oracle, informs the group that she has located what the gods would do anything for and summons them to arrange their own assault at their behest, splitting them into two groups.
<DeathStar> Back in prime, the group with Miyuki prepares to invade, and a hectic invasion fueled by fancy flying at Curali's hands the succeed in their hit and run and return to close the portal on Prime's side. Raiding upon the planet that the devices were located they take hostage of engineers after learning that warriors would never bend, separating them in a raid strike.
<DeathStar> In Prime, the fact of Zephyr being pregnant is released and that her being soul split is having an unknown effect that cannot be predicted. On the asteroid base, Cheryl reveals their Reality Striker vehicle-- an advanced shuttle covered in tarot to hop realities and they prepare to venture out.
<DeathStar> 10-608.2.4 (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The date of the mission is here. Miyuki and Kasha are packed up in their mansion and are ready to go. This is taking place during the Gang Wars sessions (370-372), and likely any mansion member seeing them off has been given the run around lately with that. Isis holds Iku and Shion, walking to the front door with them as they get ready to go, taking time off from work on the PAX to stay at home full time until they return, watching the children with Hi'Saa
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga follows them along, hands in coat pockets over her school uniform. Her zodiac team has been up to stuff as usual and she looks tired, but she peers at Miyuki. "You be safe out there - those two realities are dangerous, sensei."
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'll be fine
<Chain> 6*Koneko and Iku whine in Hi's arms
<DeathStar> 6* Isis leans in to kiss Miyuki deeply, with tongue action, then grabs KAsha roughly and does the same
<DeathStar> <Isis> That will protect you. <Taiga> G-Geeze.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon swoons
<DeathStar> 6* Wearing a maid outfit, the Nue family maid lately
<Chain> 6*Miyuki smiles at Isis, then kisses Hi'saa deeply before looking at her oldest children
<Kit> <Ouka> Take care, Miyukineesama!
<DeathStar> 6* Chieko is there in a cute fairy outfit
<Kit> 6Kasha chirps and blushes at Isis.
<DeathStar> <Chieko> Bring me back cute things
<Chain> <Miyuki> You help your mommas out while were gone <Tonbo,Hotaru,Suzu,Mitsu> yes mom
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'll do what I can
<Chain> 6*Miyuki kisses her platoon of children
<DeathStar> 6* Miyu's datapad beeps
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei runs down from her position in the command center, her arm bandaged, and arrives in the family yard, snuggling everyone goodbye
<Kit> 6Kasha leans Isis back and reverses on her
<Chain> 6*Miyuki answers
<DeathStar> 6* Isis squeaks, ears twitching. X follows Lorelei and holds a box wrapped up
<DeathStar> 6* An image of Power Girl is there, hands on her hips and speaks in Darien's voice. "To help out with the family while you're on the mission, I hired another maid to help out with Lemon. As one super hero friend to another." 6* Power Girl's breasts jiggle as she salutes
<DeathStar> 6* X steps up and deadpans
<Chain> 6*Miyuki deadpans at Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel arrives with her bags, looking about and walks over
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Hello -- Darien sent me to help with some children. *She bows* There is no one left where I am staying at currently
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon walks over and takes Ariel's hand. Ariel blinks at her looking just like Cheryl
<Chain> 6*Miyuki blinks
<Chain> <Miyuki> I-....
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hugs onto Miyuki
<Chain> 6*Miyuki looks at her wives then back to Ariel
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lore going to miss Miyu-sis. <X> I wanted to give you a goodbye present
<DeathStar> <Isis> It will be fine. Another hand cannot hurt, and if she has no-one left at her place, we can provide a room here
<Chain> <Miyuki> you guys make it out like I'm not coming back
<DeathStar> 6* X hands Kasha a present
<DeathStar> <X> Due to the time difference, it could be a few months if you are slow in defeating the evil ones
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei whines
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think X is insultoing you, sensei
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You just have to do it in a day and come back in a few weeks
<Kit> <Kasha> Th-Thanks, X
<Kit> 6Kasha peers at it
<Chain> <Miyuki> Either way, I'm coming back
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is snow globe with two foxes playing in it
<DeathStar> 6* A chime on Miyuki's datapad reminds her it is time to arrive at Asteroid C for the briefing
<Chain> <Miyuki> We better hurry, we'll be late for the briefing
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hugs and kisses her family one more time, waving bye to friends before walking with Kasha to the teleport to asteroid C
<Kit> 6Kasha squeals and hugs X, then chases Miyuki
<DeathStar> <X> I will tell Delano you left with a weapon's grace.
<DeathStar> 6* X waves.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis lets out a breath as they go, waving Shion's hand goodbye, even as Shion hides behind her tail
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back in his chair as Miyuki and Kasha arrive, doing a wave with his hand.
<Seraphna> * Angelos sits looking fabulous in his sombrero.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Thanks for the....maid Power Pockets
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is at the main computer terminal as projections are run and Airym is shut off, face forward. Eluere and Curali are in the hanger, with the battle shuttle with tarot cards. Cheryl is in her battle armor
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thanks for taking her.
<Chain> <Miyuki> If I die you are taking care of my wives and children
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica is pacing a little as they get things ready and Zephyr tests her weapons a few times, forming and deforming
<Chain> <Miyuki> financially
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm pretty broke these days, but I'll see what I can do
<Seraphna> * Cameron seems to be going over a small collection of ninja tools, by small, it's a wonder he fits them on his person without dragoon subspace.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright. Head count. *She glances at Lisa* Who all is here.
<Aqua> *Sarah waits
<Kit> <Eluere> This shuttle.." 6She feels it
<Seraphna> * LIsa peers over them quickly. "Sarah, Angelos, Cameron, Darien, Warren, Miyuki, Kasha, Eluere and Curali who are in the hangar... Airym who may need a suitcase mode..."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits on her
<DeathStar> <Curali> She's a beauty - two levels, bed rooms with four beds per rooms, a lounge room, rest rooms, a meeting room, a small holoroom, large bridge.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So no Denise.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes headl
<Seraphna> Lisa> I could give her a comms and see where she is?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She eyes her time table* We can't wait anymore. You can try to page her but we all need to head down to the shuttle. Everyone is clear on the mission parimeters?
<Kit> <Mem> Cheryl..
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina arrives
<Aqua> Sarah> Denise had to go to the bathroom
<Seraphna> * Lisa nods and pages Denise to the shuttle. "And there's Katrina and Mem."
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise comes running up "Sorry... I've been feeling sick lately."
<kalonZombie> *we've
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks over - he and Arhn are staying behind like Lisa. Benjamin heads onto the shuttle and to the bridge. Curali moves in and into the pilot seat.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Not in the mornings I hope?"
<Aqua> *Sarah climbs on
<Seraphna> * Angelos nods to Cheryl and he and Cameron move onto the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica heads for the shuttle, hand on Brony's head. Zephyr walks along to the hanger floor
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Actually yes, we've always only been sick after we wake up and fine about an hour later 6*She walks in
<Chain> 6*Miyuki walks to the shuttle
<Seraphna> * Lisa deadpans.
<Kit> 6Mem makes a face when Cheryld oesn't answer and looks to Katrina.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Sure you're not preggers?"
<DeathStar> 6* Once on the hanger floor, Zephyr hops in and glances around at the large size. Cheryl helps Chii in
<Kit> <Mem> Should I come?
<kalonZombie> <Denise> ...We might be...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This is the mission we've been building to.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need everyone we can get
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hops in
<Aqua> Sarah> Last I checked I don't have a penis
<Aqua> Sarah> So that kinda eliminates that
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica hops in and pulls Brony up
<kalonZombie> <Denise> But you did use that marb- 6*She clamps her face and goes red in embarassment
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can all pick what rooms you want; there's 15 rooms with 4 beds each
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Mmm, I'd come shield you all, but I'm with Sky." * Angelos settles down, he glaces at a picture of Elder quietly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Outside my captain's room, which is mine and Chii's
<Kit> <Mem> Right..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along toward the bridge
<Chain> <Miyuki> and we can crash it too
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Is there a medical bay?"
<Kit> 6She gets to the shuttle and sits quietly, still looking demoralized
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hugs Mem close
<Chain> 6*Miyuki skips after Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is the big one, Mem. We can do it
<Aqua> *Sarah moves to pick a room
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise quickly moves with Sarah
<DeathStar> 6* Curali has powered up the bridge and Miyuki can feel the power of the tarot cards flowing throughout the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica slides into the communication chair
<DeathStar> 6* Darien picks the co pilot chair
<DeathStar> 6* There's four weapon chairs, it seems
<Seraphna> * Cameron heads to the medical bay to set up in there, assuming there is one. Angelos hasn't taken a room right away, seeming a bit zoned, despite wanting to come on the mission, he looks like he's going to miss his family.
<DeathStar> 6* A tractor beam chair - three pilot chairs (Two are co pilot)
<DeathStar> 6* The Captain's chair and two co Captain chairs
<DeathStar> 6* Observer chairs and couches
<DeathStar> 6* A communication officer's chair and a scanner/science officer's chair. Airym is hooked up to the shuttle
<Seraphna> Angelos> "This thing is a full fledges starship."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takers the couch in the back
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits in co-captain
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's not overly large, but it's compact inside with a lot of firepower
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We can't afford to lose all these tarot cards I made
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're reuseable
<kalonZombie> <Denise> So... this is a nice room.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Hrm... I'll have to show the girls that their aunt still has a technical mind up in there when we get back." *he grins a bit*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a weapon's chair
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She glances to her right* Ready, little girl?
<DeathStar> 6* She asks Miyuki
<Chain> <Miyuki> I am
<DeathStar> 6* With her left hand, she takes Chii, so she can regulate her energy
<Aqua> *Sarah nods and smiles, putting her luggage away
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, Chii; I need your help so I don't burn myself out. We've never tried moving this ship before
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise smiles and helps "So... are you excited?"
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies them out of the hanger, just in case the reality warp tears the hanger apart
<DeathStar> <Warren on comm> You are cleared of the asteroid
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Will this jump knock us a good one like the other one did?"
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin settles into the tractor beam chair
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It shouldn't. The ship is buffered.
<Kit> <Chii> Of course
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips Chii's hand. Zephyr feels out for where Megumi is on the ship quietly as Cheryl uses the bond to draw energy
<DeathStar> 6* The ship's walls seem to bend a little around them, wavering with reality as the tarot cards activate
<DeathStar> 6* Then the ceiling
<Aqua> Sarah> Mhm
<Kit> 6Chii forms seals and chants, summoning Celsius, using her to help channel her spirit for Cheryl so she isn't as worn
<DeathStar> 6* Followed by the second level floor, which those on the bridge can't see, but those in the dorms can
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Are you hoping for a boy or girl?
<Kit> 6Mem leans against Katrina, eyes closed.
<Aqua> Sarah> Hmm, either sounds nice
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses Celsius to maintain her energy - it's clear moving the ship is straining her, but with Chii's help the ship begins to transverse forward and jumps; the asteroid no longer there, but the stars the same. The wavering stops. Katrina moves to the science station and begins to check, tapping into what remains of this reality's holonet
<DeathStar> <Katrina> 10-605.7.24. We're 2 years and a half years ago.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shit. We're pushing it. I didn't slow things down in this reality as much as I would have liked.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "How long have they been without us then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps a button on her arm rest; Chii and Miyuki would notice their co captain chairs also have buttons on their arm rests. It brings up a holographic screen that taps into the computer
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to eye the nav computer that the pilots have
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise taps on her datapad screen like mad
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The girls and Chii and I were here a month ago, but that's not what is what has me worried.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses her finger, pushing through the screens; Zephyr is sweating and swaying, and holding her sides
<DeathStar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7ExWUzXAUrM
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This is the day our kids went to when they entered this reality when they tried to rescue us. James' team is about to be wiped out
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr collapses
<Seraphna> * Angelos moves over and picks her up, he carries her to medical. "Micah! Incoming!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr feels hot to the touch and has spittle on the corners of her mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses and glances up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What is going on?
<Seraphna> * Cameron raises a brow, but prepares a bed for Zephyr and Angelos puts her down on it. Cameron begins scanning to know what's up and to treat it.
<Chain> <Miyuki> whats happening
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise blinks, putting her datapad away and moving to help Angelos
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- I don't know, she's reacting
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's system has gone haywire, putting her and the fetus at risk. Her entire immune system has just started breaking down
<DeathStar> 6* But not at a rapid pace at least
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I'm fine...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nmoves to the medical bay
<Seraphna> * Cameron starts trying to stabilize her. "Bullshit."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She leans forward, frowning* Speak to me
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *focuses on her healing, shivering*
<Kit> <Megumi> You're not fine!!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can feel my other self finally...
<Kit> <Megumi> It's that, isn't it!?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mumbles feverishly
<Seraphna> Cameron> "And something is wrong with her?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're where we're going
<Kit> <Megumi> She's reacting to the other Zephyr!
<Seraphna> Angelos> "I could try isolating her? I know we don't like me using that shit but if she melt down with the kid inside her..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She eyes Megumi* I'm too wiped to take her back to our reality right now
<Kit> <Megumi> Then...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Put a barrier around her - IF, IF it's the other half of her she's reacting to that should stop, or slow it down
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Until we figure it out. I'll put a thin reality barrier to the barrier too
<Seraphna> * Cameron raises a barrier up around her, monitoring.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl touches the barrier, focusing her reality power as best she can, straining
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to go into a sleep
<Kit> 6Megumi storms out
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll find out more when we arrive - the other group will be wiped out unless we get there
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves back for the bridge
<Seraphna> Angelos> "If this fails, we still have my Protocols to fall back on."
<Seraphna> * Angelos turns and goes with her, Cameron monitors her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Angelos. "That is unlikely to work. If Megumi is right, she split her soul in half. Your protocols would be meaningless."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise heads back out
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arrives back on the bridge, taking her CAptain's chair. Katrina is peering over, loooking thoughtful
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Just worried about the kid..." *he rubs the back of his head, moving with her still*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need to get to this planet, Curali
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves her hand over the screen in front of her chair, tossing the data over. Curali nods and inputs it, sending them into hyperspace
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica bites her lip, wondering what is up, while Darien gets up to find Megumio
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/REVERSE-
<DeathStar> 10-605.7.23
<DeathStar> Location: Oracle Planet, Right Before The Two Teams Launch
<DeathStar> 6* James' team is gathered in front of their shuttle. Miyuki and Kasha are on the team so the gods, if they get their powers back can know where James' team is at, and Zephyr is with them. Ama's team has Iceheart as their pilot, and Haruki as well
<Seraphna> * Lisa and Ulieah are with the gods, Wolf and Leyaeh with James.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hops on James's back
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and RObb are catching up
<Chain> <Miyuki> looks like I cant save you in an instant so try to not mess up James
<Aqua> *James blinks and nods
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Cheryl checks over the gods' shuttle and nods approvingly when it checks out, sitting down. Rosetta sits down with her
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down in James' shuttle, with Cae
<Chain> <Miyuki> so take care of my waifu you hear
<Aqua> *Kagu Jr waits by the gods shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Aya, in her command center, sends the two shuttles the a-okay. Cassandra being with James' team.
<Chain> 6*she squeezes James's face
<Chain> <Miyuki> or I will eat you
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh inspects a gun, her suit made to adapt to her crystal armor.
<Aqua> James> I will *He seadpans a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Miyukii as they sit in James' shuttle
<Chain> 6*Miyuki gives a foxy smile, tails wagging
<Seraphna> * Setsuna, also with James' team, leans on Cass.
<Chain> <Miyuki> theres a good boy
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, I hear James' always misses up in some way yet still succeeds
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How is that possible?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki kisses Zephyr
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale starts to board, Robb staying behind as tech help
<Chain> <Miyuki> luck
<Aqua> James> Skill
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Hale and I usually pull him out of the fire." *she grins, it's supposed to be a joke*
<kalonZombie> <Hale> It's true. 6*He grins
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I was under the impression you started most of the fires to begin with."
<Seraphna> Wolf> "...Details."
<Seraphna> * Angela sits with Aya, she goes over some data quietly, working.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Not important
<DeathStar> 6* James' shuttle is cleared to fly off, a sleek prototype based on the stealth shuttle. All black EarthGov with plating from Illium vessels
<DeathStar> 6* Just needs someone to fly it
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart, meanwhile, lifts up the gods' ship - they have Isara and Dawn on their shuttle, taking Isara on the event that the gods need the doctor, and fly off camera
<Seraphna> * Setsuna moves to pilot if no one else does it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her belly, between KAsha and Miyuki
<Aqua> *James takes off
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Pretty princess
<Chain> <Miyuki> Or prince
<DeathStar> 6* They exit up through the clouds into the purple and red nebula. Iceheart's shuttle does a wag shake in space at them in goodbye and enters hyperspace
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Princess.
<Kit> <Kasha> ...
<DeathStar> 6* That poor boy
<Seraphna> * Ulieah can almost be heard Mewing goodbye to Leyaeh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cae peers at Ulieah
<DeathStar> <Cae> *she eyes the blink of light of the other shuttle, and mimics the sound*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki rubs it regardless
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh tilts her head. "It's spreading."
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter hyperspace for the next 14 hours, they have little to do but entertain each other
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *pulls out a deck of cards* Strip poker?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who all is in?
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "..." <Setsuna> Cass and I are in! Cass chooses a handicap.
<DeathStar> 6* Bitch Zephyr plays with the cards between her hands
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra picks her handicap to be Setsuna to be nude
<Chain> 6*Miyuki takes a hand
<Seraphna> * Setsuna sniffs and pulls off her shirt. "Well played."
<DeathStar> 6* 1 hour later, Zephyr is wearing only boots
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh is wearing Zephyr's clothes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *grumble* I forgot I suck at this
<Chain> 6*Miyuki chomps on an unlit cigar
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "...Beginners luck."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Zephy you shouldnt pick a game youre bat at
<DeathStar> 6* Cael seems to be a superior player
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I wanted to see nude girls... boo
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 7.24 - in the future -
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica walks along the ship as they travel through hyperspace; as she makes her round in engineer, she notices some valves are damaged and key areas shut off and broken off
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica taps her comm. "Bridge - we have a saboteur onboard."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, in her room with Chii, grimaces
<Aqua> *Sarah makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out and heads along the hallway to engineering. Darien and Curali meet in engineer, from separate locations. Katrina comes from the mess hall
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin arrives from almost nowhere. Cheryl eyes the damage - critically and expertly done
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great.
<Seraphna> * Angelos makes his way over, he frowns. "The hell?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki peeks in
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Huh?
<Chain> <Miyuki> that-....doesnt look right
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mother, do we have anyone onboard that shouldn't be? <Mother> Negative. <Cheryl> Did you get any recordings down here of anyone damaging the ship? <Mother> Negative
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we have a traitor on board.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels and examines it, trying to see what this damage will do to the ship
<Seraphna> Angelos> "I can get to repairing this... I hope." *he pauses and considers* "Where's Zephyr, still in medical?"
<Kit> <Chii> Tch..
<DeathStar> <Aurica> She should be,
<DeathStar> <Mother> Zephyr is still in medical; Megumi Zhenmei is there currently watching her
<Seraphna> * Angelos peers it over with her, putting his mechanical knowledge to work.
<Seraphna> * Cameron yawns, moving ove to check on Zephyr.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Mom? want me and Kasha to look around? our fox holes can get us in the nooks and crannies
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It seems to me this will affect our shields and weapon performance, as well as our engine speed. 6* Angelos would get the same thing
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes, please. *She nods to Miyuki*
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Agreed, this leaves us at a bit of a disadvantage to attack."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods and looks to Kasha before foxholing down
<kalonZombie> <Denise> We'll go look too.
<kalonZombie> <Denise> We're small.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "I would... be sure we're not going to be. Because this is a perfect move if the enemy somehow knows we're here."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica moves off to investigate. Benjamin walks about engineering, a Warren look as he studies the place. He touches the ground, then sniffs his fingers as he kneels
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We still need to go where we need to go, but we have to keep this disadvantage in mind. *She whispers to Angelos* If we fix this, do not let the others know for now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises and leaves it to him
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise heads off to help look
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin takes samples of the air and ground for now, pocketing them
<DeathStar> 6* Then rubs his blonde beard
<Seraphna> * Angelos nods and grumbles, he pulls out tools and starts to get to work, but makes a show of how impossible it should be this damaged.
<DeathStar> 6* As the others investigate, over the next few hours, they find there is definitely no other intruder onboard.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki shifts to fox size as she inspects the nooks and cranies of the ship, huffing
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is back in the mess hal lduring this, making a fabulous meal
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has opened her eyes during this, glancing at Megumio
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *she touches the barrier, feeling better*
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Guess the jump here rattled my body more than I realized, huh?
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Apologies Zephyr, but I want to keep it up for a while, it may be the only reason your healing was able to help."
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise hrmphs, still looking and not having given up
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I need to find the other me and get to the bottom of this
<Seraphna> Cameron> "How much control do you have over that link of yours? Is it possible to say, corner it off temporarily?"
<Aqua> *Sarah yawns a bit, nibbling a candy bar
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have none.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> IT's been offline for 5 years.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm here to find out why
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Hrm... and now suddenly it's reactivated the moment we enter Alternate with you."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's not reactivated - I still feel nothing
<Chain> 6*Miyuki scratches to be let in
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just know know she's somewhere nearby
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Like a feeling
<Chain> 6*behind the breadbox
<Seraphna> Cameron> "That's feeling something isn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers, then shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves the breadbox
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Perhaps your reaction was to the shock of reconnection."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes?
<Chain> <Miyuki> Kon
<Seraphna> * Cameron looks over the scans. "We'll have to see."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd know if I reconnected, trust me
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey. *She picks up Miyuki, petting* Seen Mem around?
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Alright... there goes one theory. We have a sabetour on board."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings her over to the large table of food she made
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's been a few hours
<Chain> 6*she shakes her head
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise moves up to Sarah and looks at her candy longingly
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's not been herself lately as you know
<Chain> 6*Miyuki cocks her head
<Aqua> *Sarah shares with her
<Kit> <Megumi> I'll take care of it, don't worry
<kalonZombie> 6*Sarah nibbles
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A lot on her mind since the one mission
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pets Miyuki
<Chain> 6*Miyuki mrrs, understanding a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica listens to Mem, then narrows her eyes and seeks her out
<DeathStar> (er, Kat)
<DeathStar> 6* While Darien moves to engineering
<DeathStar> <Darien> How goes repairs? *he asks, hands in his pockets*
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Poorly, someone did a number on this."
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin, meanwhile, works in the science lab, testing what he picked up
<Seraphna> Angelos> "I doubt I'll have it back up anytime soon."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see. *He studies the equipment, then Angelos. He turns and steps back out*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks onto the bridge and sits down on her chair, studying a few things. Curali is there, eating a muffin as she over sees the hyperspace clock
<DeathStar> 6* A pic of Eluere attached to her console
<Seraphna> Angelos> <Oh sister. I've had one inquisitor so far.> *he continues to work, under torn wires it's going much better than before*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Who?>
<Aqua> *Sarah pulls Denise into her lap, nibnling on her neck
<Aqua> Sarah> How's the search going?
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Poorly. Haven't found anything.
<Seraphna> Cameron> Mother, I need a scan of everyone on board, vitals check and ident scan. I'm pulling up my records from older files as a match.
<Aqua> *Sarah nods, rubbing her stomach
<Seraphna> Angelos> <Darien.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. She sends an inquery to Eluere, asking if anyone has hacked the AI systems
<DeathStar> 6* Figuring Eluere is holed up in Mother's mainframe room
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Which is a large circular room with terminal slots like in Alien
<Kit> 6Eluere checks it for Cheryl immediately
<DeathStar> 6* Nope.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rings a bell for supper throughout the ship. She's made a variety of meals, including Miyu and KAsha's favorite, Denise and Sarah's and Eluere's
<Aqua> *Sarah grins and moves to eat
<Seraphna> * Angelos keeps working, ignoring the bell, as does Cameron, who starts matching scans of everyone at the present with files he gathered of them before the Reality Strikers were formed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks in and sits down to have some food. Curali eyes the time and moves off. Cheryl remains behind on the bridge, not wanting to eat right now and leave the bridge unguarded
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone seems okay scan wise - outside Zephyr being pregnant and her stats being out of whack from whatever hit her, though they're being better with the barrier up
<DeathStar> 6* For now
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 7.24 - a bit in the past -
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flies the shuttle with the gods, playing some rock music tune. Alt Cheryl is leaned back, legs kicked up. Tsuki is wearing armor with ammo straps forming an X and two large ass guns and Rosetta is wearing a tactical suit
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flips a switch and glances back at the gods - Inari, Ama, Tsuki, Thara, Kagu Jr, etc.
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara sharpens her swords
<DeathStar> 6* Ahnd the good doctor, Isara
<Seraphna> * Ulieah is in a fabulous dress, and rocking out to the music with an air guitar, bouncing about.
<Chain> 6*Ama sighs, dressed lighter with her diamond clubs
<Aqua> *Kagu Jr.yawns a bit, napping
<Seraphna> * Lisa sits in the back quietly, still as silent and slightly psychotic as when they found her, only she seems to be able to bear other people now.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We're approaching the planet where Aya said all the clones were at - you might want to look out the window. I'm not quite sure they're on the planet.
<Chain> 6*Ama looks
<DeathStar> 6* Outside the window, a large cube shaped object is hovering near the planet, with a stem like thing from the bottom going down to the planet. The cube has tons of grooves and ridges and valleys like the Death Star, and looks to be a fortified fortress. The gods were given Myria's best prototype stealth shuttle and they are cloaked so far, but it's hard to say how close they can get. Iceheart turns the music off and stops
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara looks, sliding her swords back up her kimono, a tac suit underneath it
<DeathStar> 6* The location of the planet is very, very close to the galactic ring that connects the two galaxies, also
<DeathStar> 6* Where the Illiums came from
<Seraphna> Ulieah> "Death Cube?"
<Aqua> *Kqgu looks, raising an eyebrow
<Chain> 6*Ama gently presses her hand against the window
<DeathStar> 6* As they observe, a small section opens up and a patrol flies out, not in their direction.
<DeathStar> 6* The section closes, and you'd nevert know it was there
<kalonZombie> <Thara> Hmm...
<Chain> <Ama>...my bones ache
<Seraphna> Lisa> "...This is going to be a hard trip... I hope she's okay..."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well, here's what we can do
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We can try the stealth approach and see if we can enter from the planet - that could take days of planning
* Jackieness has joined #RealityStrikersSession1
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Or the next time that hanger opens, I gun the boosters and we try to crash into the cube
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> That'll likely draw your clones out, and whatever else is in there
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Which is likely an army of enemies."
<Chain> <Ama>...we might be afforded such luxeries
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at Ama
<Chain> <Ama> if we are given the chance we should take it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> So the latter?
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<Seraphna> Ulieah> "This gonna hurt isn't it... mew?"
<DeathStar> <Alt Cheryl> Most likely - buckle up, Rosetta
<DeathStar> 6* She does so. Alt Cheryl leans back with Isara and Dawn
<Seraphna> * Ulieah buckles up, ears low.
<Kit> 6Isara makes a face, then kneels and puts her hands on the floor of the shuttle, focusing. Attempting to reinforce it and sharpen the front of the craft witha crystal spire, then buckles in
<Seraphna> Lisa> "...I will find her..."
<Kit> <Dawn> I have a bad feeling about this ;A;
<kalonZombie> <Thara> Oh it'll hurt alright... 6*She grins a bit sadistically
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart waits - 20 minutes later it opens again and another patrol goes out and Iceheart hits the boosters
<Chain> 6*Ama closes her eyes, praying stoicly
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies along at high speeds, spinning and twirling through space, coming in toward the cube as it begins to close; the shield Myria made for this prototype shuttle breaks apart at the high speed after 30 seconds
<Seraphna> Lisa> "...Fuck this noise..."
<Chain> 6*Ama gently squeezes her twin's hand
<DeathStar> 6* The cube begins to fire at them and Iceheart spins and dodges as best she can, hoping the Illium plating frrom the new shuttle they got a month holds and two hits rock them, the shields blowing out and static and sparks flying everywhere - but by then they reach the hanger, right as the doorway is 10 meters from closing - the shuttle is only 10 meters
<DeathStar> 6* Tsuki squeezes
<Chain> 6*Ama opens her eyes, looking to her
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pushes the thruttle in so hard the stick snaps and they fly under the door, a crunching heard above them and grinding
<Chain> <Ama> My Moon
<DeathStar> <Tsuki> My Sun
<Kit> <Isara> Heavens allow my enhancements to work ;A;
<Seraphna> Ulieah> "Need push!" *she whispers, around the shuttle an air elemental works to push the door open just enough to get them though*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart keeps going, even as the shuttle jerks and shudders, and they bop in, shooting like a launched pea inside a blue lit hanger that goes on for miles
<Chain> 6*she presses her head against hers lightly, peering into her eyes
<Seraphna> * Ulieah keeps whispering, keeping the elemental with them to help guide them into a safer crash.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger shutting; the fighter ships all about them are shaped like triangles with green colors and black markings. They zing in at high speeds, the controls broken. Tsuki does the same, smiling at Ama, even as they fly forward for half a mile, then bounce like a skipping rock, crushing a few Illium workers, a lunch lady, some soldiers
<Chain> 6*Ama grins gently
<DeathStar> 6* A floor panel opens up to let more fighters into the hanger and they tip in and fall down a shaft, plummeting past green lighting for half a mile and crunch on the tip of Isara's shards, the jolt shaking and blowing out the power
<DeathStar> 6* Acidic smoke is smelt, but no one is dead
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara grins gently as well
<Kit> <Isara> ... wow
<DeathStar> <Alt Cheryl> Well.... we're in the belly of the beast
<Seraphna> * Ulieah releases the elemental, hoping it helped a little.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "...You had to use that line."
<Chain> 6*Ama rises
<DeathStar> 6* With them being on the tip of the shuttle, vertical, the ramp is now way above them
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart unbuckles and breaks out the windows of the shuttle front so they can get out
<DeathStar> 6* Using her gun
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Gods and Goddesses, welcome to your destination
<Chain> 6*Ama bows before climbing out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 7.24 - parallel time -
<DeathStar> 6* James' group comes out of hyperspace above a planet where below there is a city that has been turned into production for this amber weapon production - somewhere in the center is where they have to hit
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has gotten here clothes back from Setsuna and Cassandra
<DeathStar> 6* The stealth unit is working - a dancing Myria indicating it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to say something when she jerks and grabs her chest and falls over, shaking
<Aqua> *James flies the ship
<Chain> <Miyuki> Zeph!?
<Aqua> *James blinks
<Seraphna> Setsuna> "Remember when we went to disrupt thi--- the hell?"
<kalonZombie> <Hale> The fuck?
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh peers over, she moves over to Zephyr and checks her vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* Cae glances over; Zephyr is sweating with a fever and looks out of it
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We did nothing to her clothes."
<Kit> <Megumi> Damn it...
<Chain> 6*Miyuki holds Zephyr
<DeathStar> (Kasha you mean)
<Chain> <Miyuki> Zephy whats wrong
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "System shock..." *she pulls off the glove of her outfit* "Kasha, focus on Zephyr and focus on bringing out her Dragoon Healing."
<DeathStar> 6* Miyuki and Kasha, in their bond, can feel Zephyr is losing her focs
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh gently puts a hand on Zephyr, starting to work minor reconstruction aimed to help stabilize someone by reminding their body how to work. "Be quick about it. NOW. Both of you."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki shakes her lightly
<DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle gets lower, James would see the city is an urban city like New York of the 21st century.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Zephy baby you need to focus
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Mi...?>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at her slowly
<Chain> <Miyuki><I'm here baby>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <So hot>
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Do what you can to get her healing. I cannot hold this forever."
<Chain> <Miyuki>< Youre gonna be ok sweetheart>
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I don't know what's wrong, but we have to get her stable."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki scowls at Leyaeh being snippy at her, since she wouldnt know how to help either, using her element to try and cool her
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I think I felt ... me ... for a second. Like a brief sensation ....>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rambles mentally.
<Seraphna> * Wolf grabs a medical kit and moves over, looking for some medication.
<DeathStar> 6* It's stocked with all the latest stuff
<DeathStar> 6* A flying patrol heads toward the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Myria beings to twerk, an indication the cloak is in danger
<Seraphna> * This Leyaeh is always snippy. The fact that she's not cursing like a sailor means she's calm. Wolf begins to administer treatments to help with stability.
<DeathStar> 6* As Miyuki cools Zephyr down, she begins to use her own healing on herself
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *points at the stealth status* "Does tasteless mean a problem?"
<Seraphna> Setsuna> "Our shields are in danger."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... *She shakily looks about, looking sick and ill, but not dying outright right now*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll be okay..
<Seraphna> Setsuna> "Or cloak."
<Seraphna> Setsuna> "One of those things."
<DeathStar> 6* The patrol gets closer
<Chain> 6*Miyuki holds Zephyr tight
<Chain> <Miyuki> dont scare me like that
<Aqua> *James attempts avoid the patrol, hoping the cloak holds
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry...not sure what happened....
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Robb looked at the cloak earlier... it should be good...
<DeathStar> 6* The patrol continues on it's way. Scanners indicate the buildings in the center of the city, abandoned skyscrappers with holes in them and windows busted out, have been converted to Illium weapon production and testing grounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Myria goes back to dancing
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nuzzles her gently
<Aqua> *James looks for a place to hide so they can look over the cloaks and the shields safely
<DeathStar> 6* It's a city. There's tons of sky scrapper buildings, roads, parking lots, etc.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Find a nice alley.
<DeathStar> 6* And again, the mission objective is the center few buildings
<Aqua> *James looks for a spot nearby them
<DeathStar> 6* Nearby there is parking garage, an abandoned park, and a few tight squeeze alleys
<Kit> <Kasha> Neesan... what's wrong with Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *she shivers with her fever, but forms her gun to see if she can, then deforms it*
<Chain> <Miyuki> I dont know...
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh grumbles as she sets the stabilization in place and sits back, sighing.
<Aqua> *James attempts to go into the parking garage
<Seraphna> Wolf> "SOme more meds should calm her, but I gotta pace them."
<DeathStar> 6* Abandoned cars are left behind as they enter.
<DeathStar> <Cae> Are here.
<DeathStar> 6* She checks her weapon as she steps off the shuttle.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Geeze. Look at this place. Hate to think what happened to the civilians."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "It was kind of like what happens if a Famfrit overconstructs, but different, I'm not a doctor, but a Typhoon must learn to heal before she can kill. So... did what I can."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Try not to, Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Cae walks by one car that has a skeleton inside
<Aqua> *James makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* Holding the wheel of the car, since this is an urban city of the 1990s equivalent
<Chain> <Miyuki> Zeph...maybe your should stay in here
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'm a soldier. I know when to put it out of mind."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No. Something could happen to me if I did. I'm coming
<DeathStar> 6* As they power off the shuttle....
<DeathStar> -BRIEF SIDE SCENE
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances over as a projector beam on Myria who is dancing dies off and she can stop
<Seraphna> Angela> "Why... not just use a recording?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> You know...it might be easier if you just pre-recorded the actions and put it in the camera, or just spoke the warnings if someone is about to enter the cloaking field range
<DeathStar> (camera = computer)
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then flops over*
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think she is in agreement
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* James' team makes is way through the abandoned skyscrapper, and is on the 24th floor so far; a giant hole in the side of the wall lets them see out
<DeathStar> 6* Cae peers out quietly
<Aqua> *James looks out
<Chain> 6*Miyuki peers out
<Seraphna> * Setsuna peers around carefully, paranoid about traps, Wolf sighs. "We should keep our distance still, this stuff goes off when we're nearby, we're fucked."
<DeathStar> 6* The ruined city looks beaten and half destroyed; in some buildings the ycan see Illium scouts and activity, doing projects in them
<DeathStar> 6* Much like in this one they are in, despite no contact yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipers set up on rooftops to get people on the streets
<DeathStar> <Cae> Depressintg
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Always is."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki scowls
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Well this sucks.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Of course, the weapon itself could be used to shut down this operation."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr weakly turns back to the hallway to continue when there's a flash of light to the side and the group of kids from Session 300 appears, looking about baffled. At that moment, a group of black armored and helmetted Illium rush down the stairs and aim new weapons at the group - they fire amber down the hallway that rapidly begins to fill it, the entire hallway becoming encased.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... back down the stairs we came up!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks and makes a run for it
<Seraphna> * Sera's people runs for it.
<DeathStar> 6* The kids that appeared disappear in a flash
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *turns to escape with the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Cae follows
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale runs for it
<Aqua> *James books it
<Chain> 6*Miyuki fox holes out
<DeathStar> 6* As they move down the stairs and escape the amber, it seals the entire hallway behind them. However, there's more in front of them, blocking the only escape route - and they take aim
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Reality Strikers Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the Captain's chair with everyone else. Zephyr is weakly back on the bridge, shivering
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies the ship; Cheryl has called Angelos back up
<Seraphna> * Cameron looks tired, Angelos wipes some grease off his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Airym has been brought online
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks over and stans next to Cheryl's seat*
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise sits next to Sarah
<DeathStar> 6* With the Captain chair and 2 co pilot chairs, the sensor/science chair, communication chair, tractor beam chair, 4 weapons chair, pilot chair and 2 co pilot chairs, and the observers chairs/couches in the back, it's a large bridge
<DeathStar> 6* And it's got room to be added to
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the communication chair for now and Aurica is in the weapon's chair for Zephyr
<Chain> 6*Miyuki drapes a blanket around Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Curali and Darien flying again
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Welp, I hope we get there soon."
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin works the tractor beam chair
<kalonZombie> <Denise> We do too.
<DeathStar> 6* They exit hyperspace over a planet
<Jackieness> <Airym> "All systems are operational, Cheryl."
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise sits in one of the weapons chairs
<Chain> <Miyuki> you should take it easy Zephyr
<Seraphna> Angelos> "So where are we at?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's good. Right now Eluere is is likely in the terminal hub with Mother (Ship's AI - think Alien)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Some planet where the kids saw them being attacked with amber.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl brings the shuttle in and cloaks them
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Oh right, where they were about to get screwed right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien land Curali work on flyhing them in
<DeathStar> 6* As they fly in, the unmanned sensor terminal beeps with info on a city
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses her chair to bring it up in front of everyone
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There
<Chain> 6*Miyuki reads it
<Kit> 6Mem reappears and hugs onto Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them in and they begin to go down main street; Miyuki as she is there would see it's a 20th century urban city with a lot of Illium lifeforms and production
<Seraphna> * Cameron looks it over, Angelos moving over to the science controls.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Miyu, scan for yourself in that city
<Chain> <Miyuki> of course
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Herself?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kitsune will be unusual
<Chain> 6*Miyuki scans
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And she was in the group
<Kit> <Kasha> About that...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans into the hug
<Kit> <Kasha> The two of us are still sisters and stay near one another, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans back wit hthe blanket, watching
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You two are still close in this reality too
<DeathStar> 6* Miyuki picks up on two kitsune lifeforms in the middle of the city
<Kit> 6Megumi storms in, biting her lip. 1"Cheryl Mizukaze."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes?
<Kit> <Kasha> I can feel Miyuki then. I can find her, no matter what.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Two foxes in the middle
<Kit> <Megumi> We need to find the other Zephyr, now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> First thing is first, Megumi - we have to save the other group. She is likely with them - if they die, she dies.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is logical that the other Zephyr with with the others."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies in down the middle of the street. A few Illiums pick them up and fire snipe shots at the cloaked vessel, trying to hit.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "We have teleporters on this ship? If I can get exact locations..."
<DeathStar> 6* The shots coming in from buildings on the left and right ahead
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's too many to teleport. There's a hatch on the top - head up and get it open. I got an idea
<Kit> 6Megumi holds out her hands, forming temporary crystalline barriers to take the hits
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have triangulated hostiles and relayed their locations to gunnery."
<Kit> 6Kasha nods to Darien and scrambles for the hatch
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica fires blasts at the building on the right and blows it up
<Seraphna> * Angelos raises a brow, he keeps an eye on the monitors and engineering since Kasha is going.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien comes in on the building in the center and swings the wing tip for the 24th floor
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The Illiums aim their amber weapons and begin to fire, the amber closing in when suddenly there's a rumbling and the wall behind them crumbles with a defeaning shake and ship decloaks; a beautifully slick ship with kitsune like tails at the end. A hatch pops open and a KAsha appears, gesturing for them to get on top of the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr weakly blinks, wihle Cae just jumps on top of the large shuttle/ship
<Aqua> *James reels but runs for It
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh forms a crystal shield to stop what's coming at them and runs for the shuttle, as does Setsuna and Wolf.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale grabs Wolf and runs for it
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *runs for hatch*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hauls ass with her twin and Zeph
<DeathStar> 6* The amber gets closer and closer. Zephyr makes a run and jump, but stumbles and begins to fall in the space in between the building and the shuttle until Miyu grabs her
<Chain> <Miyuki> hold on tight to me
<DeathStar> 6* She does so. As they all land on top of the ship, it begins to pull away from the building; blasts fly at it, hitting crystal walls
<DeathStar> 6* And it begins to fly away, moving slowly so they don't slide off
<DeathStar> 6* The wind slapping them in the faces
<Seraphna> * Sera's people move towards the hatch.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pushes Zephyr and Kasha in
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Get yer fuckin rear ends inside!"
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies forward as a light indicates the hatch is closed; blasts fly in and he eyes Sarah
<DeathStar> <Darien> Start firing, we're about to be overwhelmed - and tuirn the shields on
<Aqua> *Sarah nods and does so
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica takes firing on the rightt, blowing away building after building as they begin to get out of the city.
<DeathStar> 6* An Illium shuttle flies up in front of them, trying to ram
<kalonZombie> 6*Denise fires at it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr weakly holds Megumi's hand, eyeing a monitor of the other Zeph on board
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle blows up and they fly through the debris
<Kit> <Megumi> I'll get her, Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, three fighters chase them
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll talk once we land - too much -- going ---on
<Aqua> *sarah fires at them
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Weapon systems are proving effective against Illium hardware so far."
<Seraphna> * Angelos peers at his monitor as he shifts some reserves to the shields, careful not to overload. His face like Cran whenever he had a trick up his sleeve. Sera's people move to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Two of them blow up and go down
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This was made to be effective against them
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica fires at a building and it blows up in front of the last, destroying it. Darien muses at how well the systems are holding up, noting Angelos lied
<Chain> 6*A.Miyuki helps Zephyr to the bridge as well
<DeathStar> 6* They manage to leave the city and they fly toward some plains nearby and Cheryl motions for him to land
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* With the ship landed, Cheryl moves to greet both groups on the bridge. Zephyr peers at her other half, Zeph
<DeathStar> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7ExWUzXAUrM
<DeathStar> <Zeph> ... tch... so you finally show up.
<DeathStar> <Zeph> After 5 years....
<DeathStar> 6* She looks enraged.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> This is soooo weeeeeird...
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Whoa, whoa. She didn't know anything was wrong."
<Chain> 6*A.Miyuki holds hers close
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I had no idea...I've been...trying to get back here so we can reunite again
<DeathStar> <Zeph> Not happening now. I'm pregnant
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reels
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Greetings, I am Airym. Cybernetic support for all Reality Striker operations."
<Seraphna> Angelos> "...I think they both are. Am I right?"
<Chain> <A.Miyuki> what
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Both halves of her get pregnant at the same time?!
<kalonZombie> <Denise> Weird.
<Seraphna> Angelos> "The universe has a way of making sure something that should happen, does happen."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look, you're clearly sick, both of you. We have to figure out what it is
<Seraphna> Angelos> "It's clear Zephyr's meant to have a kid."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Also --- *to James and Alt Miyuki* We need your help to save all the realities by going to the classic reality. We're willing to help you finish whatever business you have here
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Their link... do they have seperate souls?"
<Aqua> *James looks around "Oh..alright."
<Kit> <Megumi> That's unfortunate, but it has to happen. You are dying.

<DeathStar> <Zeph> You can't be serious!!!!
<Kit> <Megumi> You're coming back, like it or not. I won't lose Zephyr, too
