* ChadWinters` goes for two and does not punt
<Xanatos> !.*<&>^
<ChadWinters`> Uh oh
<DeathStar> That's 2?
<Xanatos> Yeah that was my action.
* Jackieness flops
* DeathStar wiggles Sara the item
* Jackieness curls around the Sara
<DeathStar> 3
<Chaintan> whats the item
<DeathStar> Sara
<DeathStar> But I accept the question as 4
<DeathStar> Lets do this
<DeathStar> 10-637.4.10
<DeathStar> Location: The Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has called various people, including Miyuki, Xanatos, Chad from the PAX, X, Em and Hale, etc
<DeathStar> 6* And also Mem
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands in the meeting room, arms behind her back
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yo. 6* He says as he walks in, leaning against the wall in the back.
* ChadWinters` sits in a chair, leaning back.
<DeathStar> 6* Em sits down, the green haired wonder doing nicely since the Weapon-Dragoon War. X sits down and the two eye each other
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not quite the turnout I hoped for. *she also sends a message to Cassandra of all people, eyeing her datapad as another ding is heard*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *steps into the meeting room and takes a seat*
<ChadWinters`> Something you need a lot of us for? 6He looks over at Cheryl curiously
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. Mainly I called you all because it involves you all. *Outside the room, Ren sits on Kaori's head in fox form, straining to listen*
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I could go get the kids, that'll add like 3000 extra bodies.
<ChadWinters`> That's probably just one family alone. 6He notes to Xan
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Do you need anyone else?"
* AndroUser2 has joined #TAW-Session72
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kids is what this is about *she tells Xan*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan arches a brow, leaning forward slightly, more interested.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> excuse you
<DeathStar> *Cheryl sits down and brings up the base files* Sometime last night, Ben vanished. That isn't too surprising but then I got reports from Cassandra that Lorelei and Umi were missing
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch outside
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> yes and the last time they went missing, they came back with puppies
<Xanatos> <Xan> Missing as in 'poof, gone' or 'holy shit there was a struggle and someone may be dead'?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I then contacted Erevis who said that Ako, Iko, Lenneth, and Jem
* ChadWinters` crosses his arms, studying Cheryl now. 1"That's enough of a coincence.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Erevis is investiating it now. Then X called me and let me know Kitty is missing too
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> wait theyre gone too?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Whoa whoa whoa. My kids are missing and I'm just now finding out?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. As well as Mizu and Suzu. And it happened in the late night hours. I had to investigate it more
* AndroUser2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 195 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It also seems Taiga is gone, and Aya
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> again, they COULD be somwehere
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "All of them? Did you find anything?"
* ChadWinters` glances at Miyuki then Cheryl. He pulls his datapad out, typing on it.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Obviously we're going to treat this seriously. But Miyuki has a point, what if they're off doing...I dunno a mission or something?
<DeathStar> *Ren peers down at Kaori at the mention of Hess' mom being gone and her's*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Finally, Mal seems to be MIA too
<Chaintan> <Hess> what do you mean my uncle is gone too
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *another dig* And Aurica. My second daughter
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. I been trying to figure out what ties them all together
* AndroUser2 has joined #TAW-Session72
<ChadWinters`> Aya would've mentioned something to me if that was the case. 6He begins running a scan for Aya, using his tracer he's placed on his family.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not all of them were on the Strikers.
<DeathStar> *the tracer comes up out of range*
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Okay, yeah I'm starting to freak out.
<Sara> * Kaori's ears droop
<ChadWinters`> Aya's either off planet or wherever she is they found a way to block my tracer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Since Hess and Ren are here, I have to think it has something to do with their generation
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "So the middle children are gone?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess bristles
<ChadWinters`> It does seem to be a specific range of people.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, the second generation of us. If you consider us the first and Ren and Hess the third
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Even Billy is MIA according to Reikana
* Nyaomi has joined #TAW-Session72
<Xanatos> <Xan> So what are our leads?
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki texts Isis for a head count of their children
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *twitches* "...both?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think the younger one you call it
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...damn it."
<DeathStar> *Isis gives back a reply. It seems only a few are MIA*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> more in my lot are missing it seems
<DeathStar> *Cheryl moves over to a board, pinning their faces. X studies them from Mal to Jem*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As for leads, I have no idea. Well I do have one idea but it can be done away with also
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's the idea?
<ChadWinters`> Think someone's going after us by targetting our kids? 6He glances at Cheryl. 1"Cran wouldn't be stupid enough to do something like that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Many of the kids dealt with crisis we were having with a darkness with sentience. But what also points away is kids like Aya had nothing to do with that
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Again, why that middle group? If it were targeting us, our grandkids would have been targeted too."
<ChadWinters`> True. 6He nods to Cass
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's why I said it was possible the Others did it. If you recall Cassandra, we were defeated in a time stop. The kids saved us
<DeathStar> *Cheryl brings up a sector of space near the Tsivrixsh realm* Here
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...I thought time was reversed and the Others fuill on removed from existence."
* ChadWinters` rubs the side of his face. 1"It's our only lead as of now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think you are talking about the Illiums
<Xanatos> <Xan> So why can this idea be done away with? Lack of proof?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As for the Illiums, some of their tech is still out there. Well, Xan, 2 things. Like I said, not all the kids were involved, and at the end, the kids literally talked the Others' consciousness to self-terminate
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well hey even if it's just a couple of us I'd like to check out any and leads. You know what I mean?
<Xanatos> (any and all)
<ChadWinters`> Was their tech able to make people disappear without a trace? Even on an advanced ship like the PAX?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Their tech was PAX tech with a couple more centuries on top of it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she leans backm recalling* Their tech wasn't as strong as the Illiums, but some races found Other tech and combined it with Illium. If we encounter THOSe ships
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'd lose
<ChadWinters`> So it's possible.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rises* Well, I'm going to check it out. Anyone with me? If we find dark readings we might be on the right track
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah I'm definitely coming.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'm with. Finding Billy is my responsibility."
<ChadWinters`> I'll task my team to keep running scans on Earth for Aya's tracer while we go check out your idea.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Ren paces, having gathered the kids from her generation*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I say we steal a shuttle and follow
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...my mom is missing..."
<Sara> <Kaori> Is that even a question? Because I think everyone has already decided, Ren-Ren
<DeathStar> <Ren> And mine. If this is something our parents beat before, I say we do it, too
<Chaintan> <Hess> I dont think it was ever a question of us not going
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "But what is 'it' anyway? They soudned like they were just guessing in there."
<Nyaomi> <Hope> Not saying you're wrong, but... don't underestimate things just because it was 'done' before..
<Sara> <Kaori> Really living up to your name there, Hope
<DeathStar> <Ren> True. *she rubs her chin* Reikana, I got an idea
<Nyaomi> * Hope makes a face. "Saying 'be careful' isn't preparing to lose."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Call your third mom. That older Billy
<DeathStar> <Ren> Surely both Billys can locate each other
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *pulls out her phone and dials home*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And maybe Elwyn has the red thread of fate too!"
<Chaintan> <Hess> I will laugh though if it turns out one set of parents went off to fuck or something...
<Sara> * Kaori jerks
<Chaintan> <Hess> what!
<DeathStar> *Sugar busts in and shakes Kaori* Where is my Elwyn? *referring to the younger one* She's your pilot
<Nyaomi> * Jubei pops out of the floor, latching onto Reikana's waist
<Sara> <Kaori> H-Hessie. *she simply replies, but then she blinks at being shaken*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Hey!
<DeathStar> *Elder Billy appears, peering down at Jubei*
<DeathStar> <Billy> Jubei!
<Sara> * Kaori makes one of those cartoony "being shaken" noises
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ack! What the hell?!" *looks up* "Mom!"
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Big siiiis, save usssss!
<Chaintan> 6*Hess pulls Kaori free and behind her
<DeathStar> *Sugar pants, eyeing Hess like she might shake her too*
<Chaintan> <Hess> you dont shake my girlfriend
<DeathStar> <Billy> What can I do for you, sweetie?
<Sara> <Kaori> We haven't gone anywhere yet! It wasn't us! T_T
<Nyaomi> <Hope> El's missing..
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Other mom and a whole bunch of others have disappeared. Cna you sense her out?!"
<Nyaomi> * Hope muses. "Sug, have you been down to engineering?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> Also I thought I was Kaokao's piolet...
<Chaintan> pilot^
<Sara> <Kaori> I think half of us can pilot
<Sara> * She notes seriously, having been taught back then herself
<Nyaomi> <Hope> Yeah. It relegated a lot of the menial chores to El. She's been handling supply runs for the bases.
<DeathStar> *Billy muses and glows black, tendrils spreading out and touching the others*
<DeathStar> <Billy> I think I can feel her
<Chaintan> 6*Hess swats the tendril
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Where?"
<Nyaomi> * Jubei rubs her face on Reikana, sniffling. "Feel mom?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> In a place that feels like our old homeworld. I wonder if Billy will be used up there
<Xanatos> <Saf> Is that the same area the old folks went?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We don't knwo if they even know where to go!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> Touch me and I will try to transport us
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel blinks at Billy then shrugs and touches her shoulder
<DeathStar> *Ren touches her immediately. Sugar sits and composes a depressed song about her Elwyn*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> 8reaches out to Elder Billy*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess touches
<Sara> * Kaori hesitantly touches
<Xanatos> 6* Saf reaches out to touch as well.
<DeathStar> *once all are touching, a tendril lifting Jubei into Lemon's room to keep tabs on, she warps them*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown Worls
<DeathStar> 6* Kitty, Jem, Aurica, Lorelei, Ako and Iko, Lenneth Elwyn, Jem, Mizu and her twin, Billy, Taiga and so on. sure I forgot someone. Mal seems to be unconscious.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty deadpans
<Chaintan> <Kitty> so this is a interesting line up
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits up, groaning, with Ako and Iko looking dizzy. Aurica seems to be wearing sexy wear, her white hair a lot longer than in the past. Lorelei sits up and touches Umi*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> What are we doing here? *she looks around and there is darkness all over in the air. There are familiar villages nearby, but look empty*
<DeathStar> <Aya> *she dusts herself off* If this is a surprise anniversary party, I do not like it
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Jade is gonna be pissed
<Nyaomi> <Elwyn> This is what I get for falling asleep playing guitar..
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she eyes the line up, with Ouka nearby face first in the ground*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Some of the people are Strikers, but others. *she studies Billy and the twins*
<DeathStar> *Aurica beams at seeing Kitty and Mizu, grabbing them in hugs* It's been ages
<Chaintan> 6*Mitsu pets Aurica as does Kitty
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I need to show you my latest kid. #10!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin groans, pushing himself up from behind Mal.
<DeathStar> *Taiga jerks, recoiling at her sister. Lorelei wanders about* <Lorelei> This place feels familiar.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> ten already?
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Yep. *she beams*
<Chaintan> 6*Mitsu giggles
<Chaintan> <Mitsu> we're working on our twenty fourth
<Chaintan> *Kitty reels
<DeathStar> *Taiga jerks again*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin rubs his face, glances around at everyone present
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she turns around and claps her hands* I think we should split up to cover more ground. *Taiga glares at her older sister taking charge*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...where are we?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> that might not be wise Lore
<Chaintan> <Kitty> especially since we dont have our barings and could REALLY get lost
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe not. but there's a lot of us. I think we'll be okay for now. *she hands Kitty a datapad, then hand blasts the ground, making a large sand dune that goes high up to be seen* And this can be our meeting point
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I agree with Kitty
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty coughs as she turns away from the blast
<Chaintan> <Kitty> that wont alarm anyone to our presence
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *Grins like cheryl* I welcome it. *she drags Ako and Iko off with her and Aurica*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Let her go. I'm a better leader anyway with my co-captain. *she pats Kitty* I say we check the village out
<DeathStar> <Billy> *she looks around, looking out of it*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> guess we don't have much choice huh
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Normally I follow her around...but I don't know you guys that well, so I'm going to follow you! 6* He slides up by Aurica and Kitty.
<Xanatos> (Taiga)
<DeathStar> *Lenneth stares around, in royal gowns that are dusty* Great
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I've been kidnapped. No doubt they want me to ransom
<Chaintan> <Kitty> morning your highness
<Xanatos> <Kellin> OH hey Len, if they wanted to ransom you...then why aren't they here now and why aren't you in...cuffs...
<DeathStar> *Taiga pats Kellin and heads for the village. Billy keeps standing there until Lenneth drags her and Jem along* Good morning, Kitty
<Chaintan> 6*Mitsu moves over to her cousin-in-law?
<DeathStar> <Lennth> I dare them to cuff me
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin trots along and snerks at Lenneth.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Heh, like your mother.
<DeathStar> *As they reach the village, the darkness is more thick here and Kitty, and others in TAW5 Session 299 would likely remember this. This the village they visited so long ago*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> well shit...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Deja vu. *she opens a door to a house and it crumbles to dust*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tilts his head at Kitty and Taiga
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You been here?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Long ago, when we were barely teens
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If that
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Good memory... I don't really..
<Chaintan> <Kitty> barely middleschoolers..
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ha ha. *she rubs the back of her head* I can't believe we were crazy enough to come here that young
<Chaintan> <Kitty> we really just shoot from the hip huh
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But where are all the villages that lived here? And wasn't this place restored after we talked Lia down and Nanashi?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I dunno but I'm guessing the gloom has something to do with it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *the darkness seems to be leading to a nearby valley. Billy, looking out of it, heads that way*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> When you all were kids, you got into way too much trouble. I on the otherhand was proper
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh, something's up with billy.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> OI Billy
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin walks after her
<DeathStar> *Billy seems to ignore them, mumbling about something calling her. Taiga squints*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> She's like...zoned out. 6* He calls.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh yeah this isn't good
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Tie her down then, Kellin
<DeathStar> *She waves her hand to get on it*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin reaches out grab Billy in a bear hug.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Got'er!
<DeathStar> *Billy then jerks, exploding in darkness, it shooting out of her mouth and eyes, as the cloud grabs them both and drags them off*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh good
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Rescue Team A
<DeathStar> *Cheryl lets the shuttle auto-pilot, reading a romance book*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "ETA?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she checks the readings* A few more hours
* AndroUser2 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 204 seconds)
<Xanatos> <Xan> I bet I could get us there faster. 6* He hmphs
<DeathStar> <X and Em> *glower at each other*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl turns slowly in her seat to eye Xan*
* ChadWinters` opens up a case of his that one of his tact suits in it, he glances through it then shuts it again. 1"Sure, but I'd prefer to get there safely
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'll let Aya know how little you care for her.
* AndroUser2 has joined #TAW-Session72
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...you did not just do that..."
<ChadWinters`> He did. He thinks it'll rile me up.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It used too. Old man.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could work on his brain, reset him to factory default like when he was younger
<ChadWinters`> Traded my feelings to the devil for a golden violin
<Nyaomi> <Fiona> ... Can you even play violin?
* ChadWinters` glances at Fiona suddenly being here.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Ok,e veryone. Cool it!"
<DeathStar> *she begins to say when proximity alarms, and the shuttle comes out of hyperspace. Before them is a fleet. Tsivrixsh, Cartel, and Erusian ships. With Other/Illium tech attached. They seem to be surrounding a dark planet*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Of fuck me
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can tell Cass hasn't been around is in a whi-6* He pauses and leans forward, peering out.
* ChadWinters` glances ahead. 1"That doesn't look good."
<Nyaomi> <Fiona> ... Give me that fiddle.." She gapes at the view
<DeathStar> *Cheryl grabs the controls and moves them behind an asteroid*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...what the hell?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There are way too many of them to deal with. We'll have to sneak by. *she eyes Xan, as if debating letting him take over*
<DeathStar> <X> Is it me, or are all three working together?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Don't like half of these guys hate the other half?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Definitely seemed that way.
<ChadWinters`> They're not shooting at each other so, I'd say you're correct X.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I could take us in, but I make no promises to the safety of anyone on board.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl lets Xan have the secondary controls* Try to avoid being shot up
<Xanatos> (*onboard)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not sure if I'm good enough to dodge them all
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yup yup. 6* Xan eases the ship out slightly and watches their patterns for a few moment before taking them in.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...so any meteors nearby?"
<DeathStar> *Within moments, many of the ships from each group break off, and begin to open fire at them. X clapses her hands and prays* I will miss you, Kitty
<Xanatos> <Xan> Haaaaang onnnnn
<ChadWinters`> Should've tried a hyperspace jump to the planet's outer atmosphere.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "That type of stuff only works in movies!"
* ChadWinters` grabs onto a rung, holding it tight
<DeathStar> 6* Up, down, Left, Right, Down, Up, down, Left, Left, Right, Down Left, down Right, Left, Down, Up, down, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down

<Nyaomi> durludurrlurulruduudlrudlru
<Xanatos> durludurrlur=dlruduudlrudlru
<DeathStar> -0-
<Nyaomi> * Fiona makes a face, her hand held out toward the copilot's controls
<DeathStar> *The shuttle flips, goes upside down, jukes, left, right, down, up, and gets pass them, nearing the planet. However, the hybrid ships charge up and fire dark matter balls that spread out like angel wings ala Illium*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Behind us, behind us
<Xanatos> <Xan> What is that!?
* ChadWinters` jerks around, his body tense. 1"Death."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan adjsuts their angle so they don't burn up on impact then hits the full thrusters.
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up
<DeathStar> 5

<Xanatos> duurludurlud

<DeathStar> *they dodge them and begin to enter the atmopshere*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Rescue Team B
<DeathStar> 6* Elder Billy appears on a dust landscape with the others. Up at the stars look like an armada, while at a mountain nearby is full of darkness
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hate that darkhole transport. *she pukes*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *lands on her feet* "Where are we?! What is that?!"
<Nyaomi> <Hope> It's not that bad
<Xanatos> 6* Saf holds her stomach and mouth, urping a few times.
<DeathStar> *Ren leans on Kaori*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel stumbles a bit then falls to her knee, clearly looking dazed
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh yeah. Sure. It feels like I was upended. *she looks around at the bleak landscape. It almost looks like the moon except far far in the distance are villages, and even further is the mountain glowing with darkness*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Bleak place
<Sara> <Kaori> Creepy
<Xanatos> <Saf> ...you're not kidding.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *looks at Elder Billy* "Where are we?"
<Nyaomi> <Hope> Hate to say it, but if certain folks are your girlfriend, maybe you should get used to the transport." She nudgets Ren, then sighs at the scenery
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> ...XV would enjoy this terrain.
<Nyaomi> <Hope> Is this the moon?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "The moon has a couple million people on it. This is not THE moon."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah. No domed cities
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> If it was our's, some of us would be dieing right now
<Xanatos> <Saf> I lived on the moon once, it was kinda nice.
<Nyaomi> <Hope> It was just a guess, okay! I have an eidetic memory for details, not an encyclopedia ;w;
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Enough about that... there's a war going on up there!"
<DeathStar> <Billy> It is hard to say. But the darkness here is much like The Others mixed with Dark One tech
<Nyaomi> * Hope peers up where Reikana is looking
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Where is the strongest feeling of it? 6She looks at Billy
<Sara> * Kaori peers up
<DeathStar> *The ships above are all on standby, firing at something*
<DeathStar> *It seems they are drawing something from this planet*
<DeathStar> <Billy> The mountains
<Xanatos> <Saf> Oooh, is it that mountain? Look at it.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "What is it, mom?"
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> That would probably be the most likely place to go to then. 6She peers at it
<Xanatos> 6* Saf nods once to Billy, proud of her educated guess.
<Xanatos> <Saf> Well, shall we? 6* She starts to move towards the mountains.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves along with Saf
<Sara> * Kaori starts walking
<DeathStar> <Billy> HArd to say but I would be careful. The darkness will try to move into your soul
<DeathStar> *Ren helps Hess up and follows*
<Xanatos> 6* Saf pauses and glances to Billy, then the mountain, then Billy again.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...uhhh... what would that do to me?" *starts walking*
<DeathStar> <Billy> As I am having trouble concentrating here, it may try to use you as a host for the darkness, and awaken your innate Dark powers
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Hmmm....It doesn't seem like we have any other choice. Unless someone can feel out the ones that are missing
<Xanatos> <Saf> I'd really like my soul to be left alone.
<DeathStar> *As they pass a village and a strange tall sand done, the area looks empty
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...kaaaaaay..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel points at the tall sand dune. 1"That seem's out of sorts.
<DeathStar> *on top of the dune is a pair of Umi's panties. As a flag*
<Nyaomi> * Hope nudges Ren again
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...yeah... they were here."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right. *she eyes it, then peers around at the area*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess deadpans
<Nyaomi> <Hope> I don't really know what Billy means, but if that happens, would you try to stop it?
<Xanatos> <Saf> Maybe we should call out in case anyone is here but hiding?
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Should we head there first to look for foot steps to track?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'd kiss her back to her senses. *she whispers*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ummm... could I even stop it...?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Why... that? *she refers to the panties*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We might as well travel through the village to see if we can learn anything
<Nyaomi> <Hope> You and I don't have pilots. You could probably interfere with something if you let her become yours.
<Nyaomi> * Hope quiets when the others are paying attention to Ren
<Xanatos> 6* Saf nods to Ren and moves towards the village.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> That seems like a smart plan. 6She nods and moves towards the village
<DeathStar> *Ren reaches the village but as they arrive, there seems to be a lot of destruction that wasn't there in the previous scene. Houses are gone, a trail gourged into the ground toward the mountains*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What happened here?
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel eyes the trail and how wide it is
<DeathStar> *it looks like a large tornado tore it up*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...did something crash?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel kneels down, putting her hand over the sand to see if it's warm or hot
<DeathStar> *it is cool right now. It happened hours ago*
<DeathStar> *Ren kneels by some footprints, measuring them* I think the small ones is mom
<Xanatos> 6* Saf squints
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "They must have been what those ships up there were shooting at."
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Whatever came there here happened awhile ago I imagine. 6She's peers towards the trails direction
<DeathStar> *the thing in the sky that was shot down seems to be getting larger and crashes near the village*
<Xanatos> <Saf> As much as I don't want to do it...we should probably follow it.
<DeathStar> *Ren falls on her rear from the impact and dust*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel covers her face, getting low as it crashes in to the ground
<Xanatos> 6* Saf covers her face, then squints afterward to see what it was.
<Nyaomi> * Hope forms a blade in her hands that's more like a crude giant chunk of metal, but covered in plasma and cleaves into anything that flies at her or Ren from the crash
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel squints as she tries to see through the dust kick up
<DeathStar> *It looks like a very royal looking Erusian ship, all bent up. could anyone live through it?*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess turns her back to it, pulling Kaori to her chest to sheild her
<Xanatos> 6* Saf moves over toward it, cannon rising out of her arm, she reach out to jerk open the hatch, aiming.
<DeathStar> *The inside is very crunched up and an Erusian, one of the royal ones, is laying there, with a mask on their face*
<DeathStar> *The mask looks like it is permenantly attached to her face*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves over after Saf, drawing a blade out
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> What do you see inside?
<Xanatos> <Saf> Erusian. Royalty. 6* She shifts inside, aiming around, then pulls the masked erusian free if she can, otherwise she would assess wounds.
<DeathStar> *the mask seems like it has been put on with some tech that does not move*
<Xanatos> <Saf> Do any of you know how to speak Erusian? 6* She calls out.
<DeathStar> *Ren studies them, and tries using her datapad to get her fingerprints/DNA. It comes up wonky, as if something is masking her DNA*
<Xanatos> 6* Saf checks to make sure the person is alive.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> No, but your datapad should have a translater on it.
<DeathStar> *they are*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kaori, someone else
<DeathStar> <Ren> check the homes. See if there is anything for medical. *Saf would see some wounds*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "This is getting weirder..."
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel nods to Ren and moves off quickly for a home to start checking
<Sara> * Kaori nods and goes with Cel
<Xanatos> <Saf> Multiple injuries.
<Sara> * Reluctantly parting with Hess' protective wonderfulness
<Chaintan> 6*Hess pats her head
<DeathStar> *As they check the homes, there is dusty food, as if it is ancient, years old, maybe more. Everything has dust. A bathroom cabinent has a medical kit8
<DeathStar> *Ren helps get the wounded Erusian out of the crashed ship, laying them down. She turns around, noticing the other Billy is MIA*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I think I found something. 6She opens it, quickly looking inside
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "... ... ...mom?!"
<Nyaomi> * Hope pauses, not usually letting even a small detail escape her, trying to recollect the Billy leaving
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel pulls whatever she finds inside it and quickly moves back for Saf, Ren and the others
<DeathStar> *It's almost like Billy vanished*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I found this. 6She holds out the stuff she found inside
<Nyaomi> * Hope whispers to Ren. "... She disappeared.." unsure if she wants to mention that to Reikana
<Xanatos> 6* Saf takes the supplies and works with Ren to stablize the Erusian.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *turns toward the dark mountain and squints her eyes*
<DeathStar> *gause wraps, a device to close wounds, etc.. Reikana would feel both Billys, faintly there*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Team Strikers
<DeathStar> 6* As the darkness storm sweeps up Kellin and Billy, it begins to form like a tornado, tearing up a house and going after them*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> OH shit
<DeathStar> *Taiga runs for it*
<Nyaomi> <Elwyn> Kelly!?
<Nyaomi> * El hesitates on running for it and eyeing the storm
<Nyaomi> * Ouka runs after Taiga, teeth gritting. "This is all your fault, somehow!"
<DeathStar> *Lenneth pulls out dueling energy swords, eyeing the tornado, as if to attack it. Another house is destroyed and Kellin would feel wood whapping on him*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> M-Mine?! Kitty, is this my fault?
<DeathStar> *her ears droop*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> OWWW 6* He shouts, hanging on.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> It always turns out you did something to the timeline-- DON'T GO ASKING KITTY FOR ABSOLVANCE EVERY TIME!
<DeathStar> *Taiga whimpers, poking her fingers together like a chided child. Billy vanishes in the storm and it flings Kellin out at home at top speed as it vanishes*
<Nyaomi> * Elwyn moves over to Lenneth and puts a hand on her shoulder after spotting her peering at the storm. "I'll help, please, do something."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *she leaps up and tries to catch Kellin*
<Nyaomi> * Elwyn jerks, then focuses, making a series of foxholes
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin makes another weird 'ghwuuwuu' sound as he flies towards Lenneth
<DeathStar> *Lenneth leaps out of one of the foxholes, catches him and falls back in, coming in at Elwyn*
<Nyaomi> * Elwyn flails, then attempts to catch them, playing Portal with foxholes after to not 'impact' but looks sick and dizzy
<DeathStar> *Lenneth lands by Elwyn, holding Kellin. Taiga eyes part of the storm trail going up the mountain*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> you know Taiga youre making it hard to understand why we didnt end up hooking up
<Xanatos> <Kellin> oooo, my heroes....
<Nyaomi> * Elwyn smiles, softly patting his head, being the younger Elwyn
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Sometimes I wonder the same, since she's always sneaking off to you..." She shrugs at Kitty, hands up exasperated
<Chaintan> <Kitty> she just loafs I assure you
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Our families are something else." She peers back at the storm
<DeathStar> *Taiga swoons at both, hugging Ouka and Kitty together*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *rises* Should we attempt to follow Billy up the mountain?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I think so!
<Nyaomi> <Elwyn> ... A-Alright.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> might be a better option than...this
<DeathStar> *Taiga forms her energy gloves, punching them together* Lets do it. *she marches ahead*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin points to his nose, then to Kitty, nodding.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Out of the shallows and into the maelstrom.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *she lets out a breath and hides her dueling blades, following*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Oh! wait I know this one
<Nyaomi> * Ouka holds out her hand, then slowly pulls her nodachi out of subspace.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Hess says it a bunch
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> something something, till sea swallows all?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I hope we don't get wet ;-;
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...do you not know how to swim
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Oh, you'll be wet all right.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin trots along, mimicing taiga by smashing his fists together all serious, then smirks.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> But I'd prefer it wait until we're home.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I-I can swim! Just not great
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty jiggles
<Nyaomi> * Elwyn eyes them all brandishing weapons, she affixes something to her wrist, then snaps out an energy whip.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> good thing your wife and I both can and can serve as floatation devices
<Nyaomi> <Elwyn> *huff*
<DeathStar> *Taiga flusters at both of them and tries to be all proper leader*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Rescue Team A
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans over Miyuki, pointing at a strange dune shape near a village
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Land near that
<ChadWinters`> It is the oddest thing out here.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> why am I your pillow
<DeathStar> *Cheryl hugs Miyuki* You're my sweet daughter
<Xanatos> 6* Xan moves to land if still flying, otherwise he would pout from the side.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> and mother to your second son...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well that's...nice
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *looks depressed at a bit at Wolfe being MIA* She's my adopted daughter. Isn't she great?
* ChadWinters` grunts at that.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl pets Miyuki, then steps out*
<Nyaomi> <Fiona> Her family's weird...
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'm almost starting to miss Sun VI now."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan gets out, giving Chad a smug look that he didn't crash them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes panties flying on the dune, looking dusty. Nearby is Lorelei's group. She stands with Ako, Iko, Mitsu and Suzu and Mal. They appear to be waiting*
* ChadWinters` locks his tact suit in place, tossing a shirt on the shuttle floor as he steps out, patting Xan on the back
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh. *she rises, holding Umi* Mom
<Chaintan> 6*Umi wags and barks
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well we didn't have to go far.
<Chaintan> <Mitsu & Suzu> Hi Momma Cherry
<DeathStar> *Jem is tied up and gagged right now. X and Em step out, looking relaxed*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> At least we finally met someone else. We explored all over and the other group never came back
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Nice job, Xan. You found them."
* ChadWinters` glances up at the sky to see what the ships are doing.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan smiles at Cass, moving to check on Iko and Ako.
<DeathStar> *they seem to be draining the planet again*
<DeathStar> *Ako and Iko leap on Xan and hugs*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When is the last time you saw the others?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. 12 hours?
<Xanatos> <Xan> You all split up?
<ChadWinters`> Is my daughter with you guys? 6he looks over at Lore
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aya is near by. She's doing checks of a crashed ship
<DeathStar> *Lorelei says the 12 hours8
<Nyaomi> <Fiona> ... Why is Lenneth's bodyguard hogtied?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Crashed ship?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You haven't seen your siblings for 12 hours ago? *Aurica is showing pictures to everyone of her kids*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Oh, Jem. she kept talking. You know how it is
* ChadWinters` nods. 1"They've been gone for 12 hours? 6He rubs his face, eyeing the area
<DeathStar> *she motions them to follow her. Aurica gets up and follows. The nearby mountain looks like it has a super storm formed over it right now*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Crashed ship? 6* He peers towards it, then towards the mountain.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Is it one of the ship's from aboce?"
<Jackieness> above
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sets Umi down. Aya is checking out what looks like an empty royal ship for the Eruisans. It looks like it crashed many hours ago*
<ChadWinters`> That looks foreboding. 6He looks at Xan then the ship. 1"Looks Erusian
* ChadWinters` moves over to Aya, pulling out his scanner towards the storm, and seeing if he can get any readings off it
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah, newer than I'm familiar with, but their design is hard to miss.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Some blood. *she notes into a recording* DNA can't be made out. A lot of footsteps here. Looks like younger footsteps. Can't be the others who split off. that means there's younger people her than us
<DeathStar> *The readings are a lot like Dark One readings*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "... ... ...you don't think...?"
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue. 1"They probably over heard us talking.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Dad. *she turns, smiling. Lorelei seems to have set up camp in one of the houses*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. But how did they beat us?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...Billy..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Maybe they used one of my modified ships. 6* He gives Cheryl a look.
* ChadWinters` gives her a hug. 1"I'm glad you're safe." 6he looks over at Cheryl. 1"Who ca...Makes sense."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If that's the case, they have hours on us
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Stupid! Should have called the other Billy!"
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *smacks herself on the forehead*
<ChadWinters`> Fiona decided to sneak on the shuttle at the last minute. 6He notes to Aya.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan looks to see where the footprints lead too, if it's legible.
<DeathStar> <Aya> *grunts and moves to talk to Fiona while Lorelei unties Jem*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be following another set of footsteps up toward the mountains*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Looks like they're all going towards that storm.
<Nyaomi> <Fiona> Mother, you're okay!
<ChadWinters`> It seem's they have a good lead on us and based on that storm giving off Dark One signature. We're behind schedule of something bad
<DeathStar> *Aya hugs Fiona* <Lorelei> I guess that means we follow
<Nyaomi> <Jem> Oh god, the auras look terrible, Lenneth could be in trouble!
<Nyaomi> * Fiona returns the hug. "They didn't have a medic."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And dark One stuff... the billies and my granddaughter could be in danger!"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei has Aurica stay as a scout, and lets Mitsu and Suzu stay too.*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then get your weapons ready, we follow
<Xanatos> <Xan> We can use the shuttle to get closer but not TOO close, that storm is too bad.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl nods to Xan*
<DeathStar> -FINAL SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Rescue Team B
<DeathStar> 6* Waiting an hour, the Erusian finally begins to stir. Ren paces, eyeing the mountains. It looks like the dark storm is picking up*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Does it seem like the storm is changing? 6She points at it
<Xanatos> 6* Saf turns on the translator on the datapad.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...I'm feeling... something... a buzz."
<Xanatos> <Saf> Easy, you're injured.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel looks over at Rei. 1"A bad feeling?
<Jackieness> 6* The Erusian finally gasps as shestruggles to sit up.
<DeathStar> <Ren> It looks like it's getting worse
<Xanatos> <Saf> Easy. Easy. 6* She helps her sit up.
<Nyaomi> * Hope moves over, cat ears twitching. She takes a deep breath, then slowly says, in Erusian, "Nyo, nya feeling okay?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess busies herself making a makeshift shelter
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Its all this dark energy. I can feel it."
<DeathStar> *she paces around Kaori and Hess. Their parents' footsteps still remain, heading up into said storm*
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "Where am I? What has happened?"
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Are you going to be ok?
<Xanatos> <Saf> You crashed your ship. We were hoping you could fill in the rest.
<Nyaomi> <Hope> <Eru> Nyat's a good question. But first, who are nyu?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...if I unleash Noire, I don't knwo what would happen."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Then try not to unless absolutely necessary
<Jackieness> <Erusian> "...I am... Yasha... Princess-Majestrix of the Erus Ascendancy."
<DeathStar> *Ren jerks her head toward the translator*
<Nyaomi> * Hope's ears perk
<DeathStar> <Ren> Did she say princess?
<Nyaomi> <Hope> She said princess.
<Xanatos> <Saf> Told you. Royalty.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the masked woman, then moves to Hess and Kaori*
<Nyaomi> <Hope> <Eru> Nice to meet nyu. I'm Hope, these are..." She names them one by one.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> IF you feel like it is taking over, I could try and shock you unconcious with my electricity
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "...what has happened to me?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll need to follow the others soon. Can you two keep an eye on the royal girl as we go?
<Nyaomi> <Hope> <Eru> Shot down fighting something above us. We're not really sure entirely what's going on ourselves.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I think I'm alright for now. I don't know about what would happen if we got closer."
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *runs her hands across the mask* "...what is this thing? Why can I not remove it?"
<DeathStar> *Yasha would have a flash of memory of what looks like herself placing a mask on her and sealing it to hide who she is, the other Yasha smiling evilly*
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Nnnnn.... no.... another me... a usurper."
<Xanatos> <Saf> Usurper...?
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Let us know if something changes so we can be prepared Rei. 6She looks over at Saf. 1"See if she's able to move, I believe some of the team are getting anxious
<DeathStar> <Ren> We need to hurry before that storm gets too bad. If needbe, we carry this Yasha
<DeathStar> <Ren> But if we wait too much longer we might not reach our parents
<Xanatos> <Saf> Yeah can you stand? We need to move.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *rises to her feet* "I will not lay still while... I am conspired against..."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods approvingly
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Then let us make haste.
<Nyaomi> * Hope takes Yasha, then lifts her up, shifting so she's on her shoulders. "Don't worry, I can get this."
<Xanatos> <Saf> Nice. Well let's get moving.
<DeathStar> -To Be Continued
<Nyaomi> <Hope> Besides, if something happens, I can speak without the translator..
<DeathStar> Next time we do 173 it will wrap up this plot and start the prologue for the Anniversary
<DeathStar> Next time I'll have us move through groups based on timeline
<DeathStar> Kitty/Ren/Cheryl
