GURPS Negima/Pokemon Crossover Campaign

Lol don't worry darkness it gets better

Also I found it funny when dark said the light was aggresive since I'm quite sure its the darkness who runs into every avialable corner xD

[21:57] <@Dorian> Last session, you all got into a rather trippy mental trip thing whilst sat in a rather boring waiting room. This session, you're waking up! Yeah, other than that, I got nothing. Roll the music!
[21:58] <@Dorian> }{}{Music rolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hequz8qznu8&list=FLolJIqsvKNmJmNSz2uiTwFw&index=34&feature=plpp_video
[21:58] <@Dorian> Yes, we hane an intro now.
[21:58] <@Dorian> Shut up}{}{
[22:00] <@Dorian> You all awake in the waiting room with no recollection of how you got there. Iocus, the Harbinger, a still-sleeping Eva and the quiet girl are all in the room. Nodoka and Claire are still outside. Not more than five minutes can have passed.
[22:02] <Codex> I sit up properly and burp a tiny bit of faerei fire. "Excuse me."
[22:03] <Spiritcurse> "I... I feel... sexy!"
[22:03] <Dark> Conjack does no seem to awaken, but the sound of hissing and growling of the Darkness grows, as if its fighting
[22:04] <Codex> I gesture to Conjack "This could be interesting."
[22:04] <kite> "Did you all have a nice trip?" The purple haired girl asks as she notices everyone but Conjack awaken.
[22:04] <Dark> Snakes rise from his shoulders and for some reason begin snapping and trying to bite each other in a frenzy
[22:05] <Codex> "Oh, hello!" I begin. "I never actually caught your name you know. I'm Codex." I outstretch a hand, leaning over.
[22:05] <Spiritcurse> "This is worse than the time that Grah and I ate those mushrooms we found by the springs. Expect back then, I didn't start glowing gold. Well, Grah said I did, but he was breathing rainbows, so I can't trust his advice."
[22:06] <@Dorian> Iocus looks over, "Sorry, what?"
[22:06] <kite> "The girl blinks to make sure she heard that right before turning her attention back to the snakes.
[22:06] <Spiritcurse> "Never mind. Not important. Probably."
[22:07] <Dark> [NO! Jackie is mine! Let me have him...]
[22:08] <Dark> With a flash of blue light, Conjacks eyes snap open and the snakes a flung away from him, still tied to his spine by their own bodies and each seeming to howl in pain
[22:08] <@Dorian> Iocus rolls his eyes, "Oh, great, Corruption's being annoying again."
[22:08] <Dark> "YOU DARE DEFY ME!"
[22:08] <Codex> I watch Conjack curiously. "Oh, this is going to be good."
[22:10] <kite> The purple haired girl seems to be interested too though she slowly seems to be creepy to hide behing the nearest person in case something happens.
[22:10] <Dark> Conjack seems to pay no mind to me as the snap at his head, instead standing up with a body bathed in shadow and with eyes that glow a brighter blue than every before. slowly, his head looks around you all
[22:10] <Spiritcurse> With a subvocalised command to Aegis, I begin exuding a slightly lavender scent mixed with calming pheremones. "That should do the trick, calm him right down."
[22:11] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs and braces himself.
[22:11] <Dark> "[DO NOT IGNORE ME PUPPET!]" The darkness roars, its voice having lost all of the calm crulty it had before
[22:11] <@Dorian> "Oh, shut up, Corruption! You've lost. Get over it."
[22:11] <Spiritcurse> The lavender scent neatly increases in intensity several times over. "Well done Aegis, you're getting better".
[22:12] <Codex> I put my head in my hands and watch, with the cat watching a fish tank. "I wonder what happens when he shakes that thing."
[22:13] <Dark> Abruptly, the snakes look towards Iocus and Conjack slowly walks across the room. Somthing akin to fear flashes across the snakes eyes as they try to pull him back but Conjack continues walking until he reaches Iocus and, without a sound, smahes a fist across his face sending him flying back thanks to a little enhanced darkness streignth
[22:14] <@Dorian> Iocus stands up, and wipes a little blood from the corner of his mouth. "Ok, I guess I deserved it."
[22:15] <Dark> "There is no curse in human, magical or Darkling that I can think of for you...Illusion!" Conjack snarls, his voice seeming enhanced with traces of the Darkness "No after what you have done"
[22:16] <@Dorian> "Like I said, I deserved it. But I did defy the will of Zanton once I knew it was he who I helped to free."
[22:17] <Spiritcurse> "I can think of several, including one that requires ritual scarification of the vocal chords. Ask me once I've got a few drinks down me."
[22:18] <Codex> In response, a barrel of Ale appears before Hrar as I flick my wrist.
[22:18] <Dark> "Oh you but waited to look into it didnt you! You didnt think to question what you freed until you had burned a thosand inoccent lives and freed DEATH!"
[22:18] <Spiritcurse> Locating a small hatch on my armour marked "life support maintenance", I pour the ale inside.
[22:19] <Dark> The snakes look almost as if they are in panic, snapping and roaring with deafening volumn as if they are trying to get away from Conjacks body all of a sudden
[22:20] <@Dorian> "I was told I would be aiding one of my people escape from eternal torment! Technically, I was. Downside was that noone told me I was freeing the goddamned DESTROYER!!!"
[22:21] <Dark> "AND YOU DIDNT THINK TO QUESTION!! No...you were just his obidiant little puppet werent you. Little Illusion was being a very good boy
[22:21] <Spiritcurse> Due mostly to intravenous alchohol systems, I slam my fist on the table and say "Well, where is he? I'll headbutt him back into hell if I have to!"
[22:22] <Dark> "[Take you revenge Jackie!]" The snakes finally hiss, as if trying to ragain some sort of control but instead, their yellow eyes flash manic again as Conjack's eyes shoot around to gaze at them
[22:24] <Dark> "[NOOOOOO]" They howl as they again try to pull away before a darkness wrapped hand grips one by the throat and slams it against the wall, actually making the Darkness make noises as if being strangled
[22:24] <Dark> "You will be silent!" Conjack snarls "For once in my life you will SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!!"
[22:25] <Dark> and, with a final gagging sound, The Darkness complies
[22:26] <@Dorian> "For the love of the Akashic force, you don't question when someone proves you'll be saving one of your people! Especially when, at most, there are around five thousand of us left! MAYBE LESS! If you had a chance to save one of your people, what would you do!?"
[22:26] <@Dorian> "AND BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, YES, I KNOW YOUR PEOPLE ARE DEAD!!!"
[22:28] <Codex> Legs folded, I continue to watch the exchange, wondering who will land the the next blow and when it will escalate.
[22:30] <Dark> "Oh I know you know" Conjack says, his voice now strangely quiter as he releases his grip on the snake and turns. The snake actually falls and slams against the ground, taking deep breaths after being stragled. "But what you unleashed will destroy thats remaining five thousand out of sheer boredom! You have unleashed somthing beyond reason! What pains me is seeing you do the exact same thing I did with that..." He waves an arm at the crippl
[22:31] <Dark> the crippled snake. He seems as if he is about to say somthing elese but instead just gives a low sigh and falls silent, the glow of his eyes finally fading
[22:32] *** [1]kite (kite@sux-A2C8104E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined
[22:33] *** kite quit (Ping timeout)
[22:33] *** [1]kite changed nick to kite
[22:34] <@Dorian> "For reference, when I released him, not only was he not at full power, but niether was I. All Deiim were highly limited in their power after the War in Heaven, to prevent it happening again. The limits have been falling since about a week ago, though. I believe Zanton has found a way to use the power of the Akasha to break the limits on the Deiim."
[22:34] <Dark> Casting another look towards the Darkness Conjack gives a growl "Its all just a big joke isnt it"
[22:35] <kite> "The deiims... are getting stronger again?"
[22:35] <Codex> "Is this good or bad?"
[22:35] <Dark> "[My power...It...]" The Darkness starts to say somthing before seeming to be struck by a blast of pain and giving a yell
[22:36] <Spiritcurse> "How do we get hold of this power? Purely for safe keeping, of course."
[22:37] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "The Corruption was never limited. Or it was, but not in the same way. It was sealed under a different method, within a species." He nods at Conjack, "Your species."
[22:38] <Dark> "A prision the prevented it from ever being whole again. Until me that was"
[22:38] <Codex> "I'm sure we could find a nice pocket dimension for the destroyer you know. Fill it with a replica of Tokyo once a week, give it a little food, then seal it back up again." I muse to myself.
[22:40] <@Dorian> Iocus looks over at Codex. "You mean to create a pocket universe? That was how Zanton was sealed. Only with more seals, to prevent him simply leaving. All Deiim travel the multiverse to carry out our duty. This universe just happens to be really interesting."
[22:40] <Spiritcurse> "I'm flattered. Why this one?"
[22:40] <Dark> "[So many in one place. So much suffering...how could I not]"
[22:42] <Codex> "Creating one is not the issue I believe. Getting it inside however, might be."
[22:42] <@Dorian> "Because you've got the highest rate of RIS in the base sector of Quanta Six. Also, that was the problem last time."
[22:42] <Codex> "RIS?"
[22:43] <@Dorian> "Really Interesting Stuff. Technicall term. And before you ask, no, I didn't come up with it."
[22:44] <Spiritcurse> "So if we give you some shiny gadgets, will you leave us alone?"
[22:44] <Dark> "I know not what became of The Destroyer after it left my world. It destroyed all but, when The Darkness started the Heartless plague it left our world as it saw all life snuff itself out in oblivion. We thought it had been driven away...now it seems this Zanton just saw its sport dissaper and left..."
[22:47] <@Dorian> "He fought on that field. He fought me, Arcanus, and Ingenium that day. We lost. Badly."
[22:49] <Dark> Conjack's eyes flash blue again and the snakes snarl cruely "And now all that death was for naught. I saw HER fight him!" Conjack roars, waving an arm in Eva's direction
[22:50] <Codex> "Well, she is a skilled fighter."
[22:50] <Dark> "[Rather appropiate really. He destroyed your family Jackie...It is fitting he kill this...fake one ye...GAH!]" Again the snake is cut short by Conjack grabbing it by the neck
[22:56] <@Dorian> "Zanton will destroy your world. He conquers because your world has the key to freeing him from his sealing. He seeks freedom to return to his reign of destruction. He must be stopped."
[22:57] <@Dorian> The Harbinger's speech seems to startle Iocus, who jumps slightly.
[22:58] <Dark> "Dont we all..." Conjack finally sighs after a long moment "I somtimes feel like my life is nothing more than a long show for the Deiim. The Darkness, The Destroyer, The Angelus...they all come just as I start to find peace to destroy it. Like I'm some sick pantomine to them"
[22:58] <@Dorian> Iocus frowns, "The Angelus is not a Deiim. At least, not one I know of."
[23:00] <Dark> Conjack casts him with a flashing blue eye and the snakes snarl "Either way, the show must go on. I will give them a show...and i will make them all pay dearly for what they have done"
[23:02] <@Dorian> Iocus smiles, "Then let the show commence!"
[23:03] <Dark> "But first...." Again Conjack turns towards the snakes and leans close to it before hissing somthing in Darkling. Somthing that makes the snakes' eyes flash in as close to fear as they can do
[23:04] <Dark> After a moment, the snake gives a low and angry growl before slowly bowing its head and hissing in words that seep with venom "[I am yours to control...for now]"
[23:09] <Dark> With a final word of Darkling, Conjack turns back and seems to completly ignore the snakes
[23:12] <Codex> "So where are we off?"
[23:13] <@Dorian> "We need to gather an army if we are to take on Zanton. We cannot hope to fight him alone." Iocus' words seem grim.
[23:13] <Spiritcurse> "Somewhere where I can get a good pint and a good scrap, I reckon."
[23:13] <Codex> I turn to Hrar. "How many followers do you have now?"
[23:14] <Dark> "[The army of Darkness is now...at your disposal]"
[23:14] <Codex> "More importantly, how many are combat worthy and willing to fight?"
[23:14] <Spiritcurse> "Roughly ten thousand. Willing, all of them. Actually any good, maybe a hundred."
[23:15] <Dark> "[I have untold numbers]"
[23:16] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "Yeah, but do you remember what happened last time you sent your armies against him?"
[23:16] <Dark> "[The Heartless were not under my command back then]"
[23:17] <Spiritcurse> "Of course, we could always recruit followers of mine from alternate worlds, right? Is that allowed, with your magic?"
[23:18] <Codex> "Certainly. Spreading your word and recruiting people though, is an entirely different thing. Not everybody appritiates a show of physical force. Regardless, we should start in the field you're good at."
[23:18] <@Dorian> "And you think that will make any difference... why?"
[23:18] <Spiritcurse> "Well, why not open portals to worlds where my worship is an important feature? A physical manifestation of their god should do the trick."
[23:19] <Codex> "Because if we're recruiting humans, they are certain to fight for their own existance, if they're aware it's in peril."
[23:19] <Dark> "[I could turn the student body of Mahora into a...GAH]" Again Conjack sends a mental jolt into the now submisseve Darkness to cut of its suggestion
[23:20] <Codex> I chuckle at the Darkness. "Let's think of bigger numbers for now."
[23:20] <@Dorian> "Not you, Codex, I was talking to Corruption." Iocus sniggers, "And I see that your host... sorry, JAILER, doesn't like that idea."
[23:21] <Spiritcurse> "Find a world where I'm the primary source of worship, or at least in the top three, bring across millions?"
[23:21] <Dark> "[A jailer is always remembered for the one time that he fails to hold his charge...no one remembers them for the eternity of holding]"
[23:22] <Codex> "My apologise." I turn back to Hrar. "Your... girls. What were they saying about you not being allowed to be a religeon? I'm certain we can work off of that."
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> "I'm not sure, but I reckon if I come back with the skulls of a few gods, they should change their minds. Who's high up back there?" This last point is addressed to all, specifically Aegis.
[23:26] <Codex> I facepalm. "I've just realised how cliché this will look."
[23:26] <Codex> "An army of the Darkness fighting along side worshippers of the light."
[23:27] <Dark> "[Thats true...it sounds like one of the vassles anime..]"
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "It's happened before. Grudgingly, I'll admit."
[23:27] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "Oh, this is going to be Synos all over again."
[23:28] <Codex> "History has a thing for repeating, I've found."
[23:29] <Dark> "You will have to tell me about that one day Iocus" Conjack says "It has been millenia since I met another vertran of the war"
[23:30] <Dark> [hear that Jackie? and here is your history of The Destroyer killing your...] abruptly, the snakes explode into black smoke as Conjack shatters their pressence
[23:30] <@Dorian> Iocus laughs, "Oh, I will. Synos was probably the epicenter of the war. you can imagine how fun THAT was."
[23:32] <Dark> "Yer..."
[23:37] <@Dorian> The Harbinger sighs, and glances at Aria, "Aria, why don;t you go with them? You could do with the social interaction."
[23:38] <kite> "Me...? Are you... sure?" Aria says still hiding behind Hrar.
[23:39] <@Dorian> "Yes, I am. You really do need to get out more."
[23:39] <Spiritcurse> "Three questions first, before you join us. Who are you, are you likely to attempt to kill me, and are you ranked higher than level four on the divine scale?"
[23:39] <Codex> I chuckle at Hrar's grilling. "Don't worry," I begin, "We'll keep you safe."
[23:40] <Dark> I mutter somthing before looking over to the Harbinger "Hey! You got any tea?"
[23:41] <@Dorian> The Harbinger shrugs, "Probably. Check under the chairs, that's where we usually keep everything that's not related to fortune telling."
[23:41] <kite> "My name is Aria Widows... um... I try not to hurt people who aren't trying to... um hurt me and... I don't think I'm divine." She hastily says before seeming to shrink into the closest shadow.
[23:42] <Spiritcurse> Responding neatly, Aegis dispenses a small cup of Earl Grey tea from an arm hatch. I place it on the table, a mild look of confusion on my face.
[23:42] <Spiritcurse> "Well, you're cute, so welcome aboard! Now give me a hug!"
[23:42] <Dark> Conjack walks off aimlessly in seach of tea
[23:46] <kite> Aria takes the cup of tea seeing as Conjack isn't going to drink it since he's looking for his own tea.
[23:47] <Spiritcurse> "I didn't even know I could do that. Huh."
[23:49] <Codex> "So, what does Aegis say about it, where should we start to build your army?"
[23:49] <Dark> "Hello!" COnjack calls out as he finds some tea...pulling it out from under a pile of things that promptly comes crashing down on top of him
[23:50] <Spiritcurse> "She's saying to head to our base and begin construction of an... I don't know. I think she's having fun, all I'm getting are blueprints."
[23:54] <Codex> "Fair enough, but I think starting as soon as possible would be best. Let her have her fun and when she's finished, we'll do it if it's viable."
[23:55] <kite> Aria realizing that she doesn't really understand what the yare saying decides to go see if Conjack is free of the stuff that fell on him.
[23:55] <Spiritcurse> "Well, I've no idea what half of this is - it looks like she's trying to render a small planet in mathematical equations. I'll leave her to it. Shall we go look for worshippers?"
[23:55] <@Dorian> Iocus frowns, "Let's be quick about it. Time is of the escence."
[23:56] <Dark> "Just a minute!" Conjack calls as he pulls himself free "...why does she have so many things..."
[23:57] <Spiritcurse> "Things are great. Some of my best possessions are things."
[23:57] <Codex> "I'm certain I could knock up a quick chunk of earth in the sky for her."
[23:58] <Dark> "Yer yer" He just mutters as he pulls out some tea "there we go"
[23:59] <Spiritcurse> "She seemed to like that, yes. We'll do it when we get back, she's only four percent done calculating. Though... she's got a violent streak. No joke, there's a cannon at least four miles long here." I point at my visor, before realising it doesn't actually project outwards. "Never mind."
[00:04] <Codex> "Before we rally followers and armies of light and dark, let's think for a moment. This 'Destroyer', What is it, How do we fight it?"
[00:05] <Spiritcurse> "Maul, to face. It's a simple tactic, but I've yet to meet something it didn't kill."
[00:06] <Codex> "Maul me in the face. Right now."
[00:06] <@Dorian> Iocus looks over, "The Destroyer is literally that. A Deiim that embodies desctruction. Also.... hwat?"
[00:07] <kite> "Um... can you guys please not fight inside...?"
[00:07] <Spiritcurse> I shrug, and swing for Codex's face with my maul, activating the power boosters on a whim.
[00:09] <Codex> After phasing in and out of existance, I remark: "I didn't expect you to actually do that."
[00:09] <Dark> "I leave you alone for a second and you start this..."
[00:10] <Spiritcurse> "I didn't expect much in that forty degree angle to remain standing. You do surprise me, mage."
[00:11] <Codex> I nod. "This is what I'm getting at though, if I can manage, I'm sure this destroyer will not allow you to demolish it so easily."
[00:11] <kite> Aria stands there puzzled since she honestly doesn't understand why someone would try to beat their own friend's face in.
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "True. Hmm..." I swing again, with no warning at all.
[00:15] <Codex> I burst into air as the maul swings, allowing it to pass through me harmlessly.
[00:15] <Codex> "Stop that." I reply, as I reform, sat down on my chair.
[00:16] <Spiritcurse> "Sorry. Wondered if surprise'd do it. Right, in this case, we need more power."
[00:17] <kite> Aria stills stands there even more confused now. It seems like she is trying to think but failing at it.
[00:17] <@Dorian> Iocus nods, "Yes, you do."
[00:17] <Spiritcurse> "Just testing him. He passed, thankfully. I would be upset if I'd hit him. So, who first?"
[00:19] <Codex> "Wasn't someone stopping you from gaining followers by calling you a cult?"
[00:19] <Dark> [Cult of the blind...]
[00:20] <Spiritcurse> "I think so. We, who's his major god? I'm sure we can convince them..."
[00:21] <Codex> "Name a place, We'll go."
[00:22] <Spiritcurse> "Asgard. I heard the name tossed around quite a bit when Aegis was running threat analysis."
[00:22] <Dark> [Oh you have got to be...]
[00:29] <Codex> "Asgard..." I murmur, collecting my thoughts and prepareing myself.
[00:30] <Spiritcurse> "When we get through, be ready to teleport us back - we don't know what we're getting into."
[00:32] <Codex> I go to the wall and trace a oval with my finger. The oval after a moment, the oval glitters a purple light and grows steadily more vibrant until it drips into the inside of the ring and covers that segment of the wall.
[00:32] <Codex> "When you're ready." I say, Casting a few spells to keep myself ready shifting to my meta-mind form.
[00:33] <Spiritcurse> "I'm always ready." There is a dull roar as my jetpack and reactor shift into a higher power level, and I fly towards the portal, ready to step through.
[00:35] <Dark> A shimmer of black energy and Conjack is standing beside you, the two snakes back out but looking more submissive
[00:37] <Codex> I step through, Wondering whether we should have woken Eva or brought to outside with us.
[00:37] <@Dorian> The Harbinger shrugs, motions for Iocus to stay, and powers up his plasma fists.
[00:37] <@Dorian> He follows through the portal, frownong slightly.
[00:38] <Spiritcurse> I step through, coated in enough fields to make the air hazy.
[00:38] <Dark> "[My powers are your Jackie...but know this. With each light you take, I grow closer to owning your soul!]"
[00:39] <Dark> Shaking his head, Conjack follows
[00:41] <kite> Aria looks at the cottage one last time before going through the portal.
[00:47] <@Dorian> As you step through the portal, a glorious sight greets your eyes. A humongous citadel is before you, seated on a bed of clouds. A rainbow bridge extends from it down into the abyss below the clouds.
[00:48] <@Dorian> }---.<O\(|[|][|][|][|]|END OF SESSION|[|][|][|][|]|)/O>.---{

[21:58] <@Dorian> Last session, after some rather disturbing troubles involving personal issues that shall not be mentioned due to alcohol induced amnesia, you all arbitarily decided to invade Asgard. Not QUITE sure why, but why not, hey?
[22:00] <@Dorian> You stand now at the lip of the Bifrost, looking into the heavenly city of Asgard itself. Heimdallr looks at you with distaste - for some reason, he's a 6'8" dude with a great big bushy beard, a mohawk, and full plate from the neck down. Also a sword that puts the Buster Blade to shame.
[22:00] <@Dorian> Theme for this session is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NST6OpuXW9I
[22:01] <@Dorian> Heimdallr looks at you with increasing distaste, "Who are you, strangers who would enter Asgard without permission?"
[22:02] <Spiritcurse> "I am The Ascended Archbishop Grand High Lord of the Sun, Thrice Blessed by the Arcane Waters, Lord of the Dance, Master of Weaponry and Form, Attendee to the Creator, Supreme Protector Hrar All Hailed by the Seven Suns, Defender of the Light, Slayer of Fell-Kind, Light of the Ever-Soul and Magister of the Sky Court. I seek your lord, Thor."
[22:03] <Codex> I make a point of leaving the portal behind me open.
[22:03] <@Dorian> "And why would you seek the lord Thor, Hrar of many titles?"
[22:03] <Dark> The snakes emitting from Conjack roll their eyes at Hrar's introduction whilst Conjack himself simply gives a slight smirk at Heimdallr
[22:04] <Spiritcurse> "I wish to challenge him to a contest. A duel of sorts."
[22:06] <Codex> I blink up onto one of Hrar's massive shoulders. "We'd appretiate swift passage, we have many a reason behind this."
[22:06] <@Dorian> "Then you must seek audience in his chamber over yonder." He gestures towards a large mansion from which the sounds of roading laughter echo.
[22:06] <Dark> "[I'm just here for the entertainment]"
[22:07] <Spiritcurse> "Thank you for your assistance." With that, I activate my jetpack and begin to glide.
[22:08] <Dark> Conjack offers a bow, one which the Darkness makes a point of not following, before a pair of black wings carry him along with Hrar
[22:09] <Codex> I shout back to the guardian, "Thank you very much!"
[22:09] <@Dorian> "Do not mention it."
[22:09] <Kite> Aria sighes and just walks after everyone not able to fly or levitate or so.
[22:10] <Codex> Spotting Aria walking, I motion for Aria to follow, casting a spell as I do.
[22:10] <Spiritcurse> "So, how're we going in? I vote we go in through that wall there."
[22:12] <@Dorian> A glance behind you sees that The Harbinger and Iocus are sitting down for a brew with Heimdallr.
[22:12] <Codex> "They've shown us hospitality, let's just use the door."
[22:13] <Dark> "Never thought I would say that Iocus has the right idea" Conjack mutters as he lands by the door and calls up to Hrar "I shall let you make your entrance, then I shall enter"
[22:13] <Spiritcurse> "Eh, I suppose so. But when it goes sour, we're leaving my style."
[22:14] <Codex> "Of course,"
[22:14] <Codex> I pause for a moment. "You realise this has no choice but to go sour, right?"
[22:14] <Spiritcurse> "That was, in fact, my intention."
[22:14] <Dark> *sigh*
[22:16] <Codex> "As long as you're aware." I say, turnign to see if Aria has caught up and if we're close enough to the door to proceed.
[22:16] <Spiritcurse> I accelerate, but in deference to my passenger's wishes, aim for the door.
[22:17] <Codex> "Try not to break the door!" I yell as we accelerate.
[22:18] <Kite> Aria flies behind you trying to get use to being in the air.
[22:18] <Spiritcurse> "If the door breaks, it wasn't a good enough door." I layer a few forcefields in front of my, in case it's harder than I thought.
[22:19] <Dark> A snake rises to get a better view of the doors coming destruction whilst Conjack casts a glance towards Aria with a slightly raised eyebrow
[22:22] <Kite> Aria seems to not notice that the door is about to be broekn down, too busy trying not to crash into a wall.
[22:26] <@Dorian> As Hrar impacts with the door, a cataclysic crash is heard, as the doors remain exactly where they are. The rest of the building, however, flat out dissapears. Apparently having strong doors and a weak building isn't a good idea.
[22:26] <Codex> "Fuck."
[22:27] <Spiritcurse> I lower myself to the ground, the forcefields having stopped most of the damage. "Erm..." I knock three times on the door.
[22:27] <Dark> "[Oh now that was amusing]" the snakes laugh whilst Conjack simply faceplams
[22:28] <@Dorian> Thor leans aout from around the door, a large hammer in his hand. "What doth thee require?"
[22:29] <Spiritcurse> "I seek to challenge you in a duel."
[22:29] <@Dorian> "Then I do accept! Where shall we do battle?"
[22:30] <Spiritcurse> "Wherever you please. As the challenged party, I believe the choice is yours."
[22:30] <Codex> I raise an eyebrow and mumble to myself. "Well that was easy."
[22:31] <@Dorian> "Very well." Thor turns around and starts to examine the landscape.
[22:31] <Codex> Hoping Thor hasn't noticed her yes, I wave a hand behind Hrar, turning Aria invisible. I wink, looking where she once was and put a finger to my lips, before turning back.
[22:32] <Dark> The snakes look upon Thor and grin amongst themselves
[22:32] <@Dorian> Thor spins and swings Mjolnir directly at Hrar's head. "Have at you!"
[22:33] <Codex> At Thor's swing, I burst into a cloud of air and proceed to journey away from the pair of giants.
[22:34] <Spiritcurse> I block with a disc of force on my left arm. "Bad Thor. Have you no honour?"
[22:34] <Codex> "We did just flatten his house."
[22:34] <Spiritcurse> "Even so. Thor, I have but one thing to say to you, and I bid you hear it well. YOL TOOR SHUL!"
[22:34] <Dark> Conjack simply crosses his arms and smiles slightly to watch the fight as it begins, the snakes beginning a talk amongst themselves in Darkling which seems almost like they are exchanging bets
[22:36] <Kite> The now invisibly spidergirl runs away from where they are fighting to stand behind Conjack.
[22:37] <Dark> "Glad you came along?" Conjack says as you reach him, seeming to know you are there despite your invisibilty
[22:39] <@Dorian> The flames from the very heart of the universe lance up and rage, spreading like the fist of the Aether, ripping both Thor and most of Asgard into rather pretty glowing orange confetti. Oh, no, wait, that's charcoal ashes. What. The. Fuck.
[22:39] <Dark> "That was...anticlamatic..."
[22:40] <Codex> "I..."
[22:40] <Codex> "I don't even."
[22:41] <Spiritcurse> I survey the ash for several seconds. "... How in my own name am I going to nail this to my codpiece?"
[22:41] <Codex> I turn, to see the reaction of the guardian to the recent event.
[22:43] <@Dorian> Heimdallr is stood with a cup of tea, looking rather bemused at the burning hole in reality where 99% of Asgard used to be.
[22:43] <Codex> I reform on Hrar's shoulder as flesh again. "You'll have to teach me how to say things like that."
[22:44] <Spiritcurse> I scoop up some ash and deposit it into a small receptacle on my armour. "It's easy, they're just written on rocks lying around back home."
[22:45] <Codex> "We'll have to visit your home one day then."
[22:45] <Spiritcurse> "We will. I've got a war to win."
[22:48] <Codex> Looking at the embers before us I grimance. "I feel like we just lost our cause here."
[22:49] <Spiritcurse> "What cause? With those defeated, I can take control of their followers and gain their power for myself. And this... this is only the beginning."
[22:49] <Dark> "What? You mean the army you can to gain? feck that" Conjack says sarcastically as a Heartless appears out of a swirl of shadows and hands up a cup of tea for some reason
[22:50] <Codex> "All of thier followers are dead." I say, sounding moody as a Dunmer.
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> "They wouldn't be - they'd be back on their plane, not here."
[22:52] <Codex> In a huff, I dispate the invisibility spell from Aria (But not flight.) and sit in silence, realising I was wrong.
[22:53] <Spiritcurse> "Right, shall we get gone?"
[22:53] <Dark> Conjack seems to have lost interest in what is happening and is instead humming somthing to himself as he sips at his tea, the Heartless sat by his feet like a loyal dog
[22:55] <Codex> I wave to Iocus and the Harbringer, opening another portal next to Hrar, accomodating for his height.
[22:55] <Spiritcurse> "Thanks. Where's this too?"
[22:56] <Codex> "That cottage of theirs," I gesture to Aria.
[22:57] <Spiritcurse> "Perfect. I could just do with a pint or six."
[23:02] <Kite> Aria now bored takes back to the sky to try and get use to the art of flying.
[23:03] <Spiritcurse> Pausing only to dispense a pint from my wrist ale-dispenser, I leap through the portal.
[23:04] <@Dorian> Iocus and the Harbinger, having finished their tea, jump through the portal as well.
[23:04] <Codex> I duck as Hrar does this, to make sure I fit through the portal.
[23:05] <Kite> Aria flies down from the sky and flies into the portal.
[23:05] <Dark> Conjack follows, slowly as he continues his drink after an almost disappointed look around him
[23:08] <Codex> "So, what now?" I address the party, keeping the portal open for Iocus and the Harbringer. And maybe even the Guardian if he proceeds through.
[23:09] <Spiritcurse> "I'm not too sure."
[23:09] <@Dorian> The Guardian sighs, and goes back to Guardianing like a boss.
[23:16] <Codex> "How's your Aigis manageing with them designs?"
[23:17] <Spiritcurse> "Almost done, apparently. Not sure what she's doing, but we can probably get it done quickly now."
[23:18] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "We need to marshal our forces. This moon base sounds like the perfect place to do so."
[23:18] <Spiritcurse> "And commence the summonings. Aegis has found a few candidates."
[23:19] <@Dorian> "This is good. This is good."
[23:19] <Codex> I raise an eyebrow at Iocus, suprised. "Let's get started then!" I say, patting Hrar, expecting liftoff any second.
[23:20] <Spiritcurse> Right on cue, I unleash a large blast of flames, propelling us up at extreme speeds.
[23:20] <Codex> I throw every fire shield imaginable up in the process, to prevent any atmospheric burning.

[23:21] <@Dorian> Due to lack of a key player, you understand.
[23:21] <@Dorian> Not, in any part, due to a lack of ideas.
[23:21] <@Dorian> No, siree
[23:21] <Codex> "Oh, of course."
[23:21] <@Dorian> FOURTH WALL. GET BACK BEHIND IT.
[23:21] <@Dorian> NOW.
[23:21] <@Dorian> Goddamn it, every time!
[23:22] <Codex> Eeep!
[23:22] <@Dorian> I SAID:
[23:22] <@Dorian> GET!!!!!!!!!
[23:22] <@Dorian> THE!!!!!!!!!

[23:22] <@Dorian> Goddamn PCs

For all those interested. The final chapter of Negima is out! the manga has come to an end.

R.I.P. Negima, thank you for the hours of entertainment you've brought to me.

[22:33] <@Dorian> Last session, you went through some major-league bullshit involving shouting Asgard out of existence with fire. Fuck knows how that happened. This session, you're on your... moon base? Seriously? I mean, fuck, what? You know what, screw it. I'm done. It's over. Get Brian back, I don't care. I quit.
[22:33] <@Dorian> I've got the job back? SPLEEENDIIIID!!!! YOU ARE ALL SITUATED IN THE MAIN ROOM OF THE NOW-FINISHED MOOOOOON BAAAAAASE!!!!! IOCUS AND THE HARBINGER ARE AWAY ON SCOUTING, WHILST YOU ARE HAVING A WAAAAAAAAR MEEEETING!!!!!!!! IT HAS BEEN ABOUT FIVE DAYS SINCE THE DESTRUCTION OF AAAASGAAAARD!!!!!
[22:35] <Spiritcurse> Reclining in my gold embroidered, gem encrusted, platinum lined swivelly chair, coated in the hides of several rare and expensive animals, I survey the crew of the ship. "So. Where to next, men?"
[22:35] <Codex> "Well Hrar," I say, "Did you get any change in your number due to your... debacle in Asgard?"
[22:36] <Spiritcurse> "I think they're still pushing paperwork. I'm not sure, are we a religion yet?". This last question is aimed mostly at the ship's AI.
[22:37] <@Dorian> A cool female voice emenates from a set of Surround Sound speakers set in the walls, "We are now technically classified as a Cult, due to not being a not-for-profit organisation."
[22:37] <Codex> "I'm never going to get used to being inside of something of this intellect." I mumble.
[22:38] <Spiritcurse> "So... What do we have to do?"
[22:38] <Dark> Conjack says from behind you, his eyes closed as he mentialy directs a force of Heartless that are currently crawling through the entirety of the base
[22:38] <Dark> "Somthing productive*"
[22:39] <Codex> "So, to secure more followers for the both of you, or to find out more about the Destroyer, to help us combat him more effectively when the time comes."
[22:41] <Spiritcurse> "Either of these things could work. Do we have the teleporter room online?"
[22:42] <@Dorian> "The teleporter room is currently experiencing a fluxuation in the Aetheric Disstablisation Unit. It will be online in thirty cycles."
[22:42] <Codex> "I've got portals covered until then I suppose."
[22:43] <Spiritcurse> "Have you tried rerouting the power through the temporal adjustment matrix to allow for trans-mundanic factors?"
[22:43] <Spiritcurse> "You're not the only one who can make up words. How long, in hours?"
[22:44] <@Dorian> "Sir, you appear to have got your technobabble on my sarcasm matrix. And it will take approximately one hour."
[22:44] <Spiritcurse> "Right, wonderful. When it's done, find us a few likely looking conscripts, rip them over to here and prepare them?"
[22:45] <@Dorian> "I will prepare the necessary RT Convergence Equations, sir."
[22:46] <Spiritcurse> "And if you could recharge my suit's ale dispenser, that'd be wonderful. Now, what's the plan for today?"
[22:47] <Kite> "Maybe we should... um... find a way to make us... stronger? Codex already showed that we aren't stronger... enough to be Zanton..."
[22:48] <Dark> "Well, we have the world under the grip of the Destroyer, the magic world soon to be so at this rate and a war coming. Anything to do with that and not simply going to get wasted"
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> "Excuse me? I fight better when I'm half cut, you know this. But yes, we do need to find some more killing power from somewhere."
[22:51] <Codex> "The question is, Where?"
[22:52] <Spiritcurse> "Good point. Can you check for anything causing a bigger magical disturbance than you?"
[22:52] <Codex> "I reckon so, yeah. Give me a moment." I say, as I begin to focus my thoughts.
[22:53] <Dark> "Oh hey, one question. Do you guys have a way to get to the real world from here...i think thats what kids these days still call it"
[22:53] <Spiritcurse> "Well, we can use the reactor to give enough energy to teleport pretty much anywhere."
[22:53] <Dark> "Excellent" he nods simply
[22:54] <Dark> [Dont get any ideas now Jackie...]
[22:56] <Codex> I shake my head. "Not much. It's all just background magic. It seems to be getting stronger though, because it wasn't here when I first arrived."
[22:57] <Spiritcurse> "Any psychic or... anything? Any tech that stands out?"
[23:01] <Codex> I grip my head as my nose begins to bleed. "I was not expecting that at all." I begin, my voice quiet.
[23:02] <Spiritcurse> "Konoka! I think we have an emergency!"
[23:02] <Kite> "What happenned?"
[23:02] <Dark> A snake lowers towards you slowly "[what?]"
[23:03] <@Dorian> The AI speaks over the tannoy, "Medical Cheif Konoka is on her way now, sir."
[23:06] <Codex> I lower myself to my knees and close my eyes, trying to focus. I flick a quick look to Conjack before closing my eyes again. A plee for aid?
[23:10] <Dark> Snakes snap as they begin to circle and Conjack kneels before you, muttering in Darkling.
[23:12] <Codex> With a quick flash, an Utterdome of NOPE envolops Codex and Conjack.
[23:14] <Dark> The snakes give out loud roars as they are cut from Conjack, who only looks at Codex with a brief look of surpirse before putting a hand on his shoulder and simply saying "keep your mind steady"
[23:15] <Codex> I nod, quickly.
[23:15] <Spiritcurse> "I'm taking that as a yes. Where is it? I want to fire the gun!" with this, my face lights up in glee, as of a small boy being given access to a LARGE cannon.
[23:17] <Codex> "It waiting for this dome to come back out." I nod to the walls of the small dome.
[23:18] <Dark> Conjack nods simply as he sighs "Have you any idea what it was?"
[23:19] <Codex> "Its mind was HUGE and shouting."
[23:19] <Dark> "Shouting what?" hes eyes narrow
[23:20] <Codex> "It asked if it thought It couldn't hear me, or that I could hide from it."
[23:21] <Codex> "It claimed to be everywhere and that it is everywhere where knowledge is."
[23:21] <Dark> "I see...and where were you looking when it found you? Was it somewhere in this universe?"
[23:23] <Codex> "I didn't have chance to know, as soon as I opened my mind I was blasted by it." I begin, wiping the blood from my nose.
[23:23] <Codex> "It stopped me from casting at one point."
[23:23] <Dark> A nod and Conjack gives an attempt at a reasurring smile "You did well then, mental battles like that are a bitch right?"
[23:24] <Codex> There is obvious distaste about that thought in Codex's face.
[23:24] <Codex> "Yeah," Codex chuckles, wiping a bloodied sleeve on the floor. "It really is."
[23:25] <Spiritcurse> "You still want medical?"
[23:25] <Codex> "I'm going to cast some wards now, before lowering this." I gesture to the walls.
[23:26] <Dark> "If your feeling up to it" I nod "I carnt protect your mind directly but I can at least support. Move as quickly as you can and we will talk after. Ok?"
[23:26] <Codex> I nod and stand, prepareing to cast.
[23:26] <Dark> "[Lower the spell]" The snakes shout from the other side "[return my host!]"
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "I can divert some of Aegis' and Guida's power to a psi shield if you like. Only inside the base, but it's powerful."
[23:31] <Codex> "It's alright, I reckon." I begin, casting a series of spells and getting ready to dispel the Utterdome.
[23:32] <Dark> Conjack watches you in silence, seeming deep in thought about somthing
[23:33] <Kite> Aria sits off in a corner frowning sadly looking as if she might be thinking... though it's slightly hard to tell.
[23:33] <Codex> With a small glow and the appearance of a pentagram, I lower the dome.
[23:34] <Dark> Conjack tenses as he watches Codex
[23:35] <Codex> I look around the room. "It's gone." I say, surpised.
[23:36] <Codex> "What in the name of Pelor was that?" I exclaim, checking myself and double checking my wards.
[23:36] <Dark> "But what was it?" Conjack seems to relax at your words and instead places a hand against his chin and begins to pace "We could do without somthing watching our actions like that"
[23:36] <Kite> Aria's face brightens up somewhat realizing that Codex is okay.
[23:36] <Dark> "Was their anything familier to you? I know you havent met the Destroyer yet but did you feel anything you recognised?"
[23:37] <Codex> "No, nothing."
[23:38] <Spiritcurse> "Good point. Are you sure you don't want a shield throwing up?"
[23:38] <Dark> "Not good..." Conjack begins pacing "And whatever it was its good at covering its tracks...I sort of...went into your mind myself just after you got the sheild up and there was no trace of it"
[23:39] <Codex> "If you think the ship can afford it Hrar, be my guest." I smile.
[23:40] <Dark> "Though I'm tempted to open my mind and hear this voice for myself..."
[23:40] <Codex> Taken aback, I look to Conjack. "My mind is getting rusty it appears."
[23:40] <Spiritcurse> "Easily, we've got more than enough processing power. Guida, do the honours?"
[23:40] <Kite> "Please... don't..." Aria says in her corner.
[23:41] <@Dorian> "Of course, master." A mental barried errects itself around Codex.
[23:41] <Dark> "Huh? Oh just an old man thinking. I'm curious and to be honest, I'm used to the whole mental war thing. Plus I think the Darkness might be able to get some info on the it if I give the two some contact"
[23:41] <Codex> "I agree with her," I begin. "I can lend you some spells to protect yourself though, if you feel it's nessacery."
[23:41] <Spiritcurse> "Everybody, please. In fact, built it into the hull, it's what it's wired for."
[23:44] <Codex> "Well," I begin. "I can definately help. Decide a signal of some sort and I can throw up some barriers on you, incase anything goes wrong."
[23:45] <Kite> Aria's frown deepens though she says nothing.
[23:45] <Dark> "Hmmm" COnjack gives a nod "If we are talking about another Deiim then it would be a risk...but at the same time I can not risk having an unknown enermy watching us...especially if it sees as much as it claims"
[23:45] <Dark> A snake turns and raises an eyebrow at Aria "[You worry?]"
[23:48] <Kite> Aria says nothing giving neither a yes or a no.
[23:48] <Codex> "Perhaps we should contact the Harbringer and Iocus. Get their opinions on it perhaps. I'm sure I can recount what happened to them. I'd rather only do it the once though."
[23:48] <Dark> The snake merely gives a chuckle at your silence before looking back to where Conjack is still pacing.
[23:49] <Dark> "yes...perhaps...but I still dont trust either of them"
[23:49] <Dark> Abruptly, Conjack stops and looks towards you "Codex, do you trust me?"
[23:50] <Codex> I look the snakes before answering, slowly. "Yes?"
[23:50] <Dark> [loaded question] the darkness mental chuckles in Conjack head
[23:51] <Dark> "I need to know what that voice was like. I would prefer first hand but dont want to risk putting you though that again so..." he pauses for a second before doing a slight bow of repect "I request permission to view it from you memories...directly"
[23:52] <Dark> A small tendral, thinner and smother than those of the Darkness, rises from beneath Conjack plam and moves upwards. "I would simply neet to place this against your forehead, not awkrawd stuff"
[23:53] <Codex> I ponder for a moment. "Make it quick and be careful, I'd hate for you to get lost or something." I nod to the snakes. "They won't like it in there."
[23:54] <Dark> The snakes merely give a low chuckle as Conjack places the tip of the tendral on your head. "Dont fight and I wont need to pry more than I need to"
[23:58] <Dark> With a sudden flash of blue light from my eyes and a snarl from the snakes, the tendarl snaps away from you head as if it had suddenly become agnoising to touch. Conjack's eyes wide open as they glow
[23:59] <Dark> "HIM!" He snarls, his voice filled with sudden venom
[00:01] <Dark> "Hrar" He says, not looking up yet speaking with sudden authority "I want that mental sheild around the base at all times. You hear me? 24/7"
[00:02] <Spiritcurse> "Tell Guida, I don't run the thing."
[00:02] <Dark> With a roll of my eyes i shout "Turn the sheilds to full power NOW! Whoever the hell does it! I will not let him watch us anylonger!"
[00:03] <@Dorian> "Very well, as you wish." A slight hum signifies the shields powering up.
[00:03] <Kite> "What's wrong?"
[00:04] <Spiritcurse> "Guida, full power to shields. Get a reserve for an emergency plane shift, and if we're hit by anything that even threatens to breach shields, I want a time stop. Mobilize fourty per cent of the troops, and ready ECM and missile barrages."
[00:04] <Dark> Nodding Conjack finally turns towards you, the snakes snapping in their enjoyment of his anger "Whats wrong is that the war has found us again? I little mental invasion came from the ones who started it. Domino"
[00:04] <Dark> He says the name with a trace of Darkness filled hatred slipping into his voice
[00:05] <Spiritcurse> "And while we're at it, wake all the hackers up and tell them to take out anything even pinging us. Black ICE and flatline are permitted."
[00:05] <Dark> "[Oh and how the little pup has gotten arrogent]"
[00:06] <Codex> I shake myself out of my daze and try to catch up on the goings on around.
[00:07] <Dark> "Thank you" Conjack spare his anger long enough to give Codex a nod
[00:10] <Spiritcurse> "Now that I come to think of it, get the plane shift ready now. Scan all nearby planes for those safe, and get the hackers following your scans. Prioritise those scans that haven't been detected. Codex, can you interface and tell her how to jump? Imbuing magic into an AI is a little beyond my team."
[00:12] <Codex> "I can certainly try."
[00:12] <@Dorian> "Aetheric Tunnel coordinates locked in. RT Convergance Link stablizing. Please prepare Planar Shift frequencies."
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "Codex, your time to shine. Just... I dunno, cast it into the AI? It'll seem intutive once you're plugged in."
[00:13] <Dark> "And take us where?"
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> "Preferably somewhere allied to us. Failing that, anywhere not allied to them."
[00:14] <Codex> I look around for an ideal place to inform the AI of what to do. Failing, I touch the wall of the ship and begin a spell.
[00:14] <Dark> "[Why keep running?]" a snake hisses "[We should take the fight to them!]"
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> "Oh, and when we jump, have the hackers send equal virtual mass to every other plane. Should throw them off."
[00:15] <Dark> "It will buy us time at least" Conjack nods at you "Anything I can do?"
[00:15] <@Dorian> Guida takes the spell. "Thank you. Preparing jump to Cooridnates: 6793X - 450.3Y - 978.123Z - AlephNull alpha - Infinity omega. Breaching Aetheric barrier. Preparing for trans-temporal transit."
[00:16] <Spiritcurse> "Keep the barrier maintained. Anybody tried to breach it, pop them."
[00:16] <@Dorian> A white glow surrounds the moon-ship. Guida speaks one last time. "Now departing from: This universe. Target: The future."
[00:16] <Codex> "This is... insane." I say to myself, looking around, watching personel run past the room in quick succession.
[00:16] <Dark> "[wait...what?]"
[00:16] <Codex> "Wait, What?"
[00:16] <Spiritcurse> "Wait, what?"
[00:16] <Kite> "Err... what?"
[00:17] <@Dorian> The ship winks out of standard space-time in a flash of purest primal reality.
[00:17] <@Dorian> {}{}{}[END OF SESSION]{}{}{}

[21:42] <@Dorian> LAST TIME, YOU ALL HAD SOMEWHAT OF AN ARGUMEEEEEEENT!!!!!!!! THERE WAS A BIT OF CONFUSION AS TO WHAT TO DO NEXT, SO YOU DECIDED TO SCAN FOR NEARBY MINDS! THIS TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD IDEA, AS DOMINO HIT YOUR BRAIN WITH HIIII~IIIIS!!!!! ONCE YOU'D GOT ALL THE TRAUMA OUT OF THE WAY, YOU DECIDED TO HEAD FOR THE NEAREST SAFE AREA! WE RESUME JUST AFTER EXITING THE REALITY TUNNEL TO THE NEXT UNIVERSE OOOVVVVEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:45] <Spiritcurse> "Where are we? And when? And... who might be a valid question."
[21:45] <Dark> The snakes of the Darkness whisper words in their language as the look around the people in the bridge whilst Conjack curses "AI. Get me a visual on the planet below. NOW!"
[21:46] <Codex> "I think I taught the AI the wrong spell... AI's shouldn't really be given spells."
[21:46] <Spiritcurse> "Everything should have spells. Means you can take a break, check out the fine array of taverns, pubs, ale houses, breweries, nightclubs, inns, and other alchohol dispenseries that this ship has to offer."
[21:48] <Dark> Conjack shoots an irritated look as he snaps at the AI again for a visual of the planet, the snakes seeming amused at him
[21:48] <@Dorian> The AI speaks up, "I do not take orders from impudent Darklings. Sir, we are currently located in Universe QQX 90-Beta, which is located precisely one universe over from our own. We did not travel temporally, although this universe came into being some eight hundred years before our own. You are all still yourselves, although this does not mean much when it comes to immpudence."
[21:50] <Dark> Mumbling a set of darkling curses Conjack turns to Hrar "All right then. You ask it for a visual if you would be so kind"
[21:50] <Spiritcurse> "So, in terms of attacks, what're we looking at? And could I have a visual?"
[21:50] <Dark> [and tell that AI to respect its elders]
[21:52] <@Dorian> The screen comes on, displaying a Mars that is identical to the one you just left in every way. Except for several hundred years of Cyberpunk-esque Arcanotechnology covering the surface. The AI speaks again, "If we were to be attacked, it could be with anything from a handheld rail gun to an Anti-Energy cannon."
[21:53] <Spiritcurse> "Neither of these things strike me as good. Right, where's the nearest place likely to be friendly, and who's in charge there?"
[21:54] <@Dorian> "Scanning... this may take up to one cycle. Please hold." Calming elevator music begins playing.
[21:54] <Dark> "And how do we get this heap of metal back to our...main universe?"
[21:54] <Dark> "Or plain or whatever you want to call it"
[21:55] <Kite> Aria hums quietly in tone to the elevator music.
[21:58] <Spiritcurse> "Same way we get here, I'd imagine. Shoot a hole in the universe, fly through before it realizes what just happened."
[22:00] <Dark> "Then lets get that done as soon as possible"
[22:00] <Codex> "I'm sure I can assist with that."
[22:00] <@Dorian> "Scan complete. I appologise for the delay. It appears that the most friendly local faction is the High Church of Sol."
[22:00] <Kite> "Shouldn't we stay as long as possible though?"
[22:01] <Codex> "I don't see why not."
[22:01] <Spiritcurse> "Hmm, seems somewhat familiar. Anywhere we can land?"
[22:01] <Dark> "Why would we do that?" COnjack turns to the Aria "Our world is being destroyed and you want to just leave it and fuck around with another one?"
[22:02] <@Dorian> "I have arranged for a docking bay in the local space station. We shall dock there."
[22:02] <Codex> "We can just hop back to 3 seconds after we left off. I've done that before."
[22:02] <Spiritcurse> "A landing craft, surely?"
[22:03] <Dark> "Oh I bet you have" His eyes flash blue as a snake seems to shiver
[22:03] <@Dorian> "No, sir. We shall dock there." The room rocks as the entire base moves.
[22:04] <Kite> "No... but if this is the future then wouldn't it be nice to know... if we won or not... and to see how it happened...?" Aria says to Conjack trying to both think and listen to Codex's and Hrar's conversations.
[22:04] <@Dorian> "You misunderstand. This universe is not yours. This is a universe that contains what would have been 800 years after your time had extraneous elements not entered into the picture."
[22:05] <@Dorian> "Afternote: We are now docked."
[22:05] <Spiritcurse> "Very well. Have the hackers on standby, if we're scanned, I want them to return a 'we're a clearly legitimate merchant craft' signal."
[22:05] <Dark> "I've already been to one version of the future lately...Forgive me for not wanting to see anything like that again" His tone is clearling not asking for forgivness
[22:06] <@Dorian> "Sir, we are a semi-robotic moon bristling with the kind of weaponry designed to intimidate solar systems. We cannot appear to be a 'clearly legitimate merchant craft'."
[22:06] <Dark> "[Oh come now Jackie. You are actually surprised to find that these...allies you have dont give a damn about the world you protect? hahahaha]"
[22:06] <Spiritcurse> "In that case, broadcast the same signal, but in a 'and we'll blast those who ask to many questions' tone."
[22:07] <Kite> Aria looks at Conjack and his snakes with a confused expression before sighing.
[22:07] <@Dorian> "Innitiating order, sir."
[22:08] <Dark> "[I for one would like to thank this sun slave and his freinds for bringing the Darkness to yet another plain of existance. I wonder if any of my shards landed here...]" A snake laughs as it closes its eyes with a smile
[22:09] <@Dorian> "Sir, some men wish to come aboard. They appear to be inquiring as to why we have their moon."
[22:09] <Spiritcurse> "It's got our flag on it, ergo, it is ours. But bring them aboard and to me."
[22:10] <@Dorian> "Corridors alligned, sir."
[22:12] <Spiritcurse> "Excellent! Tell them the captian and his mates want to see them."
[22:12] <Codex> With a flash, I appear on Hrar's shoulder, ready for the incoming shit storm of the angry locals.
[22:13] <Spiritcurse> I absent-mindedly pat Codex on the head before striking my most captain-ly pose.
[22:13] <Dark> Conjack gives a curse again as he manages to retract the Darkness, pushing his hat low to hide his irritated expession
[22:14] <Codex> "I feel the need for a cracker for some reason."
[22:14] <Kite> Aria giggles at the display while she waits for the people to arrive.
[22:15] <@Dorian> Four men in what appears to be the fusion of priestly garments and arcanotech power armor. Uppon seeing Hrar they all gasp, cross themselves (an X as opposed to the christian [stolen from gaelic] cross), and crouch down kneeling in front of him.
[22:16] <Spiritcurse> "Where I come from, we say hello. Now, who are you?"
[22:16] <@Dorian> The man in the gaudiest power armor speaks up, "My lord, do you not know? We are your loyal dsiciples, the Church of Sol!"
[22:17] <Spiritcurse> "I've been... busy. Remind me again who you are and what you do?"
[22:21] <@Dorian> "We are the Church of Sol, worshippers of Hrar, called Col Incarnate, the Unconquered Sun. We are the most influential religion and third most influential political party in the Verse."
[22:21] <Dark> "Of for the love of..." Conjack mutters as he rubs his eyes
[22:21] <Spiritcurse> "Only 'incanate, the unconquered sun'? We've got some catching up to do. But anyway - there are things more powerful than my worshippers and I?"
[22:21] <Dark> [Blind sun slaves...I take it back Jackie...this universe makes me sick]
[22:22] <@Dorian> "Politically, yes. In military terms, no, we are unrivalled."
[22:23] <Spiritcurse> "Even so, this cannot be! I didn't destroy my way through several universes to be the third most influential person!"
[22:25] <Codex> I put a hand on Hrar's head. "Hold a moment, don't tell of our deeds yet, let's get some more information."
[22:26] <@Dorian> The main priest/soldier guy thinks briefly, "My Lord, you would not happen to be the Parallel Lord, would you? Lord Hrar, come again from the other universe?"
[22:27] <Spiritcurse> "That seems more likely. Tell me of this other Hrar."
[22:29] <@Dorian> "He is you in every way. He is our Lord, and we must follow his way of life in every aspect. However, the one notable difference we know of is that he did not have to fight any Deiim to create the High Church of Sol."
[22:29] <Spiritcurse> "Well, he certainly seemed to have the easier way of doing th- wait. Are you saying I need to fight a deiim?"
[22:30] <Dark> "Oh great. Now theres two of him..." conjack groans as he turns and simply walks to a window "I'm gonna need some tea"
[22:30] <Spiritcurse> Almost without thinking, a small cup is dispensed from the shoulder of my armour, filled with tea.
[22:31] <Dark> "For once, I'm gonna accept that" A black tendral reaches out and pull the cup away, my eyes flashing as I sigh whilst drinking
[22:34] <@Dorian> "We have been informed by the Deiim Kalia that you are currently at war with the Deiim Zanton and his followers."
[22:34] <Spiritcurse> "This is very true, yes. Who's Kalia?"
[22:34] <Dark> "Oh nice. At least they are able to pay attention"
[22:36] <@Dorian> "Kalia is a Deiim who has been working with us for several centuries now. She embodies technology, and has granted us the knowledge to make all of what you see that is not inherent to your universe."
[22:36] <Spiritcurse> "Seems useful. Can we take some?"
[22:38] <@Dorian> "Of course, my lord. We cannot give you the highest of technologies, by order of Lord Hrar Himself, but there are three people who will be joining you for your fight."
[22:38] <Spiritcurse> "Would I be able to override my own command in this case? And who?"
[22:39] <@Dorian> "You would not, my lord, by order of Lord Hrar. And they are on ther way now."
[22:40] <Dark> [Oh new freinds to your growing group of misfits]
[22:42] <Spiritcurse> "So, by my own order, I'm unable to overrule anything I've said previously?"
[22:43] <Codex> "You an this other Hrar are not the same person, keep in mind."
[22:43] <Spiritcurse> "True. In that case, I have another question - is he sexier than I am?"
[22:44] <@Dorian> "Sir, he is you, give or take several centuries."
[22:44] <@Dorian> He holds his hand up, "The three are here, sir. They should be here momen-"
[22:44] <@Dorian> As he says that, three men walk through the doors and form a line, each standing at a variation of "at ease". From left to right, they are a man dressed in a blue robe who is keeping his head down, a man with ice blue eyes and dark brown hair wearing the same combat armor as the others sans a helmet and carrying a rather nicely pimped out assault rifle, and a woman with a wild hairstlye and a multi
[22:44] <@Dorian> -coloured dress.
[22:45] <Spiritcurse> "Even so, that rule should probably be lifted when he's drunk. And hello gentlemen and woman, enchante."
[22:46] <@Dorian> The first man, in the blue robe, steps forward. "Relino, at your service. Telepath."
[22:46] <@Dorian> The second steps forward. "Darren here." He bows.
[22:47] <@Dorian> The woman, last in line and last to step forward, does so as well. "Name's Erika. Assassin and summoner.
[22:47] <Dark> As they enter, Conjack's eyes flash blue as he watches them, a snake hovering above his shoulder letting out a slight hiss.
[22:48] <Spiritcurse> "Excellent! So... Magnus. Can I call you Magnus?" I ask, looking at the priest/soldier. "What do they do?"
[22:49] <Kite> Aria slowly begins to creep out of the room to go dow one of the corridors as Hrar talks to his people.
[22:49] <@Dorian> "I belive they just stated their roles, sir. In any case, they each have a Neural Interface chip paired with a Deity Receptor attuned to your divine frequency, which will let you possess any of them at will."
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> "Wonderful! Darren, Relino, Erika, Magnus, come with me. We'll plan our next move."
[22:51] <@Dorian> Magnus bows, "Sir, I must stay. In fact, both I and the other priests have duties to attend to."
[22:52] <Spiritcurse> "If those duties don't involve drinking, they're not important. Now, thanks for the help, I'll return at some point."
[22:54] <@Dorian> Magnus bows again, nods to the three other priests, and walks out.
[22:55] <@Dorian> The other three priests follow, their heads bowed.
[22:55] <Dark> "I dont trust them" I say simply once they are gone, sipping again from the tea
[22:56] <Spiritcurse> "Me neither. Far too helpful. So, where to next?"
[22:56] <@Dorian> Relino sits down in the lotus position as Erika wanders off in search of... something.
[22:57] <Dark> "Their hearts are blank" I mutter "One I read nothing at all, one nothing but jibberish and one is far too...All he thinks is "I think, therefore I am"
[22:57] <Dark> "[So distasteful]"
[23:01] <@Dorian> Aegis speaks up, "Sir, I have inverted the coordinates and believe we may be able to return to our own universe with all due haste."
[23:01] <Spiritcurse> "Useful. Everyone okay with going there?"
[23:01] <Dark> "Best news I've had all day"
[23:02] <Kite> Aria doesn't answer as she is currently not here.
[23:03] <Codex> "I suppose."
[23:03] <Spiritcurse> "Darren, mind if I test out the link? I need to be in the control room now - biolinks."
[23:05] <@Dorian> Darren nods.
[23:05] <Spiritcurse> "Sweet. I'll get up to control, then take over." I walk away, whistling a tune.
[23:06] <Dark> "Because why not give the vilonce and drink obsessed caveman more control and power"
[23:10] <Spiritcurse> Darren suddenly blinks twice, then stands to attention. "This feels odd, but I'll get used to it."
[23:10] <Dark> "Trust me, having others in your head is not somthing you want to get used to"
[23:11] <Spiritcurse> "It's different - like we've blended together somewhat."
[23:11] <Dark> "I refer you to my last comment"
[23:11] <Dark> "[Aww, you love me really Jackie]"
[23:12] <Dark> "Shut it"
[23:13] <Spiritcurse> "Right, so where to next? I need to test out what I can do."
[23:13] <Dark> "Back to world we came from"
[23:14] <Spiritcurse> "I'm up for that."
[23:14] <Codex> "I have a feeling the base won't listen to us." I smile, "You should ask them to set us off."
[23:15] <@Dorian> "Transition preperations beginning."
[23:15] <Spiritcurse> "It's okay - Hrar's handling that up at control."
[23:21] <@Dorian> "Transition preperations complete. Transition beginning. Destination: Home."
[23:24] <@Dorian> The world dissapears in a burst of light as the moon base enters a Reality Tunnel.
[23:24] <@Dorian> }<_*).......END OF SESSION.......(*_>{

[22:31] <@Dorian> LAAAAAAAASSTTTTT SESSION, YOU WENT TO ANOTHER UUUNNIIIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEERRRRSSSSSEEEEEE THAT SSEEEEEEEEMMMMMMED TO BE THE FUUUUUUUTUUUUUUUUUURE!!!!!!!!!! FROM THERE, YOU GOT SOME NEW FRIENDS BEFORE RETURNING BACK TO YOUR OOOOOOOOWN UUUUNNNNIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEEEEERRRRRRRSSSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:31] <@Dorian> THIS SESSION BEGINS ABOUT TWO HOURS AFTER YOU RETURNED TO YOUR OWN UNIVERSE, JUST AS IOCUS IS CONTACTING YOU FROM EEEAAAAARRRRRTTTTHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
[22:34] <@Dorian> As you are all hanging around in the comms room of the moon base, a beeping fills the room.
[22:35] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, can you get that? I'm still not used to this" I say from various bodies scattered around the ship, eventually stopping at Erika.
[22:35] <Dark> Haviving nothing better to do in the room, Conjack has been sat in the back reading manga. Upon hearing the beeping, he gives a slight twitch but nothing more
[22:37] <@Dorian> "Sir, the message seems to be from Iocus. He appears to be calling from Earth."
[22:38] <Spiritcurse> "Put him on hold for 15 minutes, I'm busy". With that, I lean back in a comfy chair and pick up a glass of lemonade.
[22:38] <Dark> "I like it"
[22:39] <Spiritcurse> "I think this is a perfectly justifiable use of time", I reply while flicking through channels on the nearest tv.
[22:39] <Dark> "For once I agree" I chuckle slightly, turning the page of the manga
[22:47] <@Dorian> Fifteen minutes later, a life-sized hologram of Iocus appears in the middle of the room.
[22:47] <@Dorian> "What the fuck was that?"
[22:47] <Dark> Conjack obviously tenses slight at the sight of him, peering over the book of his manga before looking back and ignoring
[22:47] <Spiritcurse> "That was a display of the finest elevator music we could find."
[22:49] <Codex> Codex chuckles and stands.
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> I lean back in my chair and sip my lemonade. "So, you have a message? I do hope it was urgent."
[22:50] <Dark> "And life threatening"
[22:50] <Kite> Somewhere in the ship Aria stops getting annoyed at the heartless that she sees everywhere and begins to hurry back to the room.
[22:51] <Spiritcurse> "And I hope we're a premium number."
[22:52] <@Dorian> Iocus smiles grimly, "Oh, yeah. Life threatening and urgent. Yes, it is. Zanton has found a cosmic keystone."
[22:52] <Dark> "Tell him to put them with the chaos emeralds"
[22:52] <Spiritcurse> "I am almost certain this is bad news. Where, when, and how many explosives do we need?"
[22:54] <@Dorian> Iocus gives Conjack a scathing look. "Oh, yeah, because sarcasm is perfectly called for when the most dangerous Deiim ever has the key to the underlying power of reality."
[22:54] <Spiritcurse> "I find sarcasm to always be a fitting response. For one, it pisses you off. Now, get to the point - who am I blasting?"
[22:55] <Dark> "And I have had everything I known destroyed for like the fifth time now and just went to a world where everyone worshipped him" I jeer a finger at Hrar "Honestly, I feel like i've stopped giveing a smeg for a while"
[22:56] <Spiritcurse> "As sexiest man on this ship, I demand you accept they had at least some reason to do so."
[22:56] <Dark> Conjack simply grunts somthing in Darkling and turns back to his manga
[22:56] <@Dorian> He then turns to Hrar, "He's in the Artic, but he's using some form of dimensional seperation barrier to stop all entry to the area. We'll need to destroy the focal points for that first. Thankfully, power does not equal intelligence, so he's mounted them.... are you even listening to me? Hello? Fate of the world here?"
[22:58] <Dark> With a final grunt Conjack slams his Manga shut and walks over "Alright then mister Illusion. You have until this Heartless" He pulls out a very chibi looking HEartless "Works out how to destroy this holgram machine to tell us everything"
[22:58] <Dark> He then places the heartless on the table and i starts poking the machine like its stoned
[22:59] <Spiritcurse> "I swear to god, if that heartless has been in my... medicine cabinet, I'll stab it myself."
[22:59] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "Eight floting crystal palaces. Smash force field machines in them. Go to artic. Fight Zanton. Hope to hell he doesn't get phenomenal cosmic power."
[23:00] *** [1]Kite (Kite@sux-A2C8104E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined
[23:00] <Spiritcurse> "On a scale of zero to one, how many times do I have to hit these palaces with a giant moon laser?"
[23:00] <Dark> "Would one of those castles happen to be the home of a certain Domino by chance? cause I was heading there anyway"
[23:00] *** Kite quit (Ping timeout)
[23:00] *** [1]Kite changed nick to Kite
[23:01] <@Dorian> "Domino does live in one, yes. Also, moon lasers would be bad. There is a high chance that it could cause a chain reaction and blow up the planet. Oh, also the fabric of reality."
[23:02] <@Dorian> "Shut up, I did the calculations."
[23:02] <Spiritcurse> "What're the odds, to the nearest percent?"
[23:03] <@Dorian> "About 33, why?"
[23:04] <Codex> Codex puts a hand on Hrar's shoulder. "Un-wise."
[23:04] <Spiritcurse> "I've bet on worse. Navigator, open a portal to wherever creepy illusion guy says, ready my favourite blast pattern - you know, that one that leaves a crater shaped like my middle finger."
[23:04] <Dark> "Domino..." Conjack mutters before growling as his eyes flash blue "I want to kill him face to face. No lasers"
[23:05] <Spiritcurse> "Urgh, fine. Navigator, loose that beam at any mortal who's been particularly nasty lately. Shame to waste a good beam."
[23:05] <@Dorian> Iocus raises a hand, "Killing Domino would not only be hard, but unwise. For one, he can't suffer when he's dead."
[23:05] <Dark> "Oh...Darklings have very diffrent views on what counts as dead"
[23:06] <@Dorian> Aegis responds to this, "Sir, no such mortal could be found. There is now a imprint of a middle finder on Io."
[23:06] <Spiritcurse> "That'll do. Is he pissed?"
[23:06] <@Dorian> "Io is a moon, sir."
[23:06] <Spiritcurse> "I knew that."
[23:07] <@Dorian> Iocus looks at Conjack, "Yes. I know. However, we have the same goal in this. Domino is responsible for killing... well, you remember."
[23:08] <Dark> "I know perfectly well what he is responsible for. And a lot more"
[23:08] <Dark> "[He insults what corruption means]" and snake adds from where it was hovering above the machine, revleaing itself with a hiss
[23:10] <@Dorian> "Do you? Really? You seem to have a grudge on him after he did that whole 'Have a look at the future' thing. He told me about that, gloating that he'd broken you. I had a word with the Oracle about that. Zanton did that. Noone else, just Zanton."
[23:10] <@Dorian> "Also, shut up, Corruption."
[23:11] <Spiritcurse> "He never listens to me, don't bother."
[23:12] <Dark> "It is not a matter of what he did or didnt to the future. I can recognise the work of the Destroyer. And it would take a lot more than that to break me, a see a world like that everytime i go to sleep"
[23:14] <@Dorian> "What is it, then? Why do you hate him so? What do you have against him that I cannot do not fucking have a thousand times stronger!?"
[23:15] <Spiritcurse> "He didn't sleep with your woman, did he? Because if so, let me know, I'll plane shift right now."
[23:16] <Dark> "It is what he has said and done. His lack of remorse as I buried..." He grunts as he looks up at the Darkness and his eyes flash "Domino views all others as nothing more than toys for his own entertainment. He calls himself a puppet master and thinks that controling others is his birth right...A thousand reasons and one that makes him the form of what I seek to stop and..." A snake laughs and he curses, seeming to stuggle to put to words what h
[23:18] <Dark> wants
[23:19] <Spiritcurse> "We'd best get moving. Codex, ready a plane shift? And navigator, blast Io again for good measure. Don't want it thinking that with us gone it can start being a serious moon. Bloody casual moon, Io is."
[23:21] <Spiritcurse> "If we don't need the plane shift, teleport. If we don't need the teleport, create lemonade should do the trick."
[23:22] <@Dorian> "He does, doesn't he? No respect? You're angry at him.... for not having respect. Oh, yeah. No respect holds up REAL well against HE KILLED MY DAUGHTER. And as for the whole 'puppet master' thing, his very existence lets him control the minds of others. I think that counts, right? You're just making up reasons. You're putting yourself up against an enemy you think is responsible for all these things but he isn't."
[23:23] <@Dorian> "Really, you're just fooling yourself. You're trying to fight something that's not there."
[23:23] <Dark> "[Let me lay it out to you Illusion]" The snake curls down, circling the table "[When Domino came before Conjack during his time in that future I was in search of a way to make Conjack join me. I needed him to hate. Domino's apperance in that world was exactly what I needed so I...increased a couple of emotions here and there] It laughs and turns "[and if anything, Darklings are simply wonderful at holding a grudge]"
[23:23] <Codex> Codex begins to trace a portal into the air, applying wards for a one-way trip.
[23:24] <@Dorian> "So, Corruption. You're forcing him into this. Not supprised, honestly. Codex, can you sort this out? Fix Corruption's influence?"
[23:24] <Spiritcurse> "Do it after the fight. No need to take the venom out of our secret weapon."
[23:26] <Dark> "[Oh its no longer that]" the snake laughs again as a tendral stokes Conjack's cheek "[This is war no Illusion. And Darkness thrives of war. Both my host and I want to face Domino in battle. And this anger towards him is all Conjack's heart now. I simply pushed it in the right direction]"
[23:26] <Codex> "I honestly have no idea. I could try though." Codex gives a nervous smile.
[23:27] <Dark> "[And we want to make him suffer]"
[23:27] <@Dorian> "We need him to be calm, though, otherwise Domino will walk all over him. Codex, try your best. And Corruption? You may have just killed yourself if you can't fix it. Well done. I always knew you had it in you." With that, Iocus' hologram winks out.
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "I'll just change, for this battle." Erika leaves the room, and is quickly replaced by Relino. "'K. Let's do this."
[23:31] <Codex> Codex sighs, finishing the portal. "Well then, shall we?"
[23:32] <Spiritcurse> "We shall. After you, Conjack."
[23:32] <Dark> "Where does it lead this time?"
[23:37] <Codex> "The artic of course. Let's go get these crystal towers. I don't know exactly where they are mind, we may have to travel a little."
[23:38] <Spiritcurse> "That's fine by me."
[23:38] <Dark> Nodding Conjack walks over to the portal and pauses. With a click of his fingers two snakes rise from his back and a pair of Assassin Heartless appear by his flanks like loyal dogs. Then he walks through in silence
[23:39] <Spiritcurse> I step through,a minor flickering as my invisibility activates.
[23:39] <Kite> Aria sighs as he walks through before following.
[23:40] <Dark> Left alone, The chibi Heartless resumes its work of trying to headbut the hologram machine apart...with little effect besides a dented head
[23:41] <Codex> Codex steps though, closing the portal behind himself.
[23:45] <@Dorian> As you walk out into the Artic, you realise that warm coats might have been a good idea. Also that Iocus isn't there. Although a giant black sphere of solidity is.
[23:46] <Spiritcurse> On a whim, I trigger stigmata on myself, visualising a campfire hovering beside me, neatly radiating warmth all around.
[23:46] <Dark> With another click, a shroud of Darkness covers me and forms a protective layer against the cold
[23:49] <Spiritcurse> "Codex. That telepathic cock-end has found a place, wants you to teleport him to... hold on". I send a mental image of the place Iocus is visualizing.
[23:50] <Dark> "Oh great, now hes sending us directions" Conjack looks like a 3D shadow with a face thanks to his warm layer as he turns
[23:50] <Codex> "Where is he actually?" Codex replies, as snowflakes melt when they come within a foot of him.
[23:50] <Spiritcurse> "I mean teleport us to him, sorry."
[23:50] <Codex> "Ah, fair enough, One moment then.
[23:51] <Kite> Aria frowns at the cold before taking a look around.
[23:52] <Codex> With a click of his fingers, Codex produces a white flash, without a bang, envolping the party.
[23:52] <@Dorian> In a burst of light, the scenery changes itself to the ruins of Mahora. For some reason, even though it should be about midday here and now, the skies are dark.
[23:53] <Dark> A sudden glow and the snakes begin snapping at the air "Why would he bring us here?"
[23:53] <Spiritcurse> My camoflauge changes once more, and I release my mental domination of... myself.
[23:57] <@Dorian> The ruins of a massive-ass city are all around you. Apparently, Zanton WRECKED this place.
[23:57] <@Dorian> Iocus walks up to you. "Hey."
[23:58] <Dark> Muttering in Darkling, the snakes watch as Conjack crouches down and runs his hand through the ash on the ground
[23:58] <Dark> "[Remembering somthing Jackie?]"
[23:58] <Dark> "Shut up" Conjack hisses before looking up to Iocus "Why did you bring us back here?"
[23:59] <@Dorian> Iocus points upwards, "Because of that."
[23:59] <Dark> All three of Conjack's 'heads' look upward
[00:01] <@Dorian> The sky is blocked out by what, on closer examination, appears to be a crystal disc.
[00:01] <Spiritcurse> "I'm guessing that's what we need to destroy."
[00:05] <@Dorian> "It is."
[00:05] <@Dorian> "It's also a thriving city, so you can't just blow it up."
[00:06] <Dark> "[Since when as that stopped him]"
[00:07] <Spiritcurse> "It's also in my way."
[00:10] <@Dorian> "So go up there and blow up the bit that needs blowing up."
[00:11] <Spiritcurse> "But if I blow ALL of it up, not only is it quicker, but prettier too. Failing that, Codex, any chance you can scry and teleport us in?"
[00:12] <Codex> "I'm wondering if that's wise around something so critical to the destroyer. It'll obviously be warded."
[00:14] <Kite> "Well we can always.. attack it from a distance to see what happens..."
[00:15] <Dark> "Artillary Heartless?"
[00:18] <Kite> "Actually... wait one moment... please..." Aria says before she looks up at the disc in the sky again.
[00:25] <Kite> "The disc in the sky is infact inhabited... and is about half a mile up... We can try to destroy the tower... I'm not sure what would happen though..." Aria finally says.
[00:25] <Dark> "INhabited by?"
[00:25] <Spiritcurse> "Obvious way is to teleport or fly in, go incognito, and then sabotage from within."
[00:25] <Kite> "Regular... people..."
[00:27] <Dark> "Wonderful..." Conjack mutters as a snake hisses somthing and he swats its suggestion away
[00:27] <Codex> "Fair enough. Well, since when has that stopped us before?" I prepare a spell to rise us up there at speed.
[00:29] <Kite> "Also I see nothing that... could harm us though... we should be careful... I can't see everything..."
[00:31] <Dark> "Once we get there I will send Assassin Heartless trhoughout the entire city. I will find threats soon enough"
[00:31] <Codex> A transparents, glowing disc appears under Codex, which widens over a short amount of time. "Step on, let's go."
[00:32] <Spiritcurse> I step on, focusing for the probable battle to come.
[00:34] <Dark> The snakes his repeatedly as I step on "[Finally host...it begins]"
[00:35] <Kite> Aria steps on after watching everyone else do so.
[00:50] <@Dorian> The disc ascends towards the city, heading outwards to get above the rim of the disc. As it does, a glorious sight can be seen: A thriving city of crystal, some five miles in diameter. At the center of the city is a single tower of a different sort of crystal (because ripping off Final Fantasy was always a good idea) which reaches upwards into the heavens themselves. The city seems to have been designed with human habitation in mind, as it is full of humans; at least ten million must live here.
[00:52] <Kite> "It's... beautiful..."
[00:54] <Spiritcurse> "Possibly too many to kill all at once."

[23:06] <@Dorian> LAST SESSION, YOU ALL RETURNED TO THE RAVAGED EARTH!!! ONCE THERE, YOU RETURNED TO THE RUINS OF MAAAAHOOORRRAAAAA!!!!!!! MEETING IOCUS HERE, YOU STARTED TO ASCEND INTO THE GLORIOUS CRYSTAL CITY UPON WHICH THE PROJECTOR FOR THE GREAT SPATIAL DIVISION RESTS!!!!!!!!
[23:07] <@Dorian> AS YOU LAND, YOU TAKE STOCK OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!!! YOU APPEAR TO BE IN A PLAZA, SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY EMPTY STREETS!!!
[23:08] <Codex> "Let's get going then!" I say, stepping off of the disc.
[23:09] <Spiritcurse> "Right, this doesn't look good. Got any defences ready I don't already have?" Relino states, humming quietly.
[23:13] <Kite> "Be careful guys... there are bugs... everywhere... and they are moving awkwardly from what I can see."
[23:13] <Dark> "[I do not like this place]" A snake hisses as it looks around "[The heart waves here hurt]"
[23:13] <Dark> Rather worringly, Conjack gives a mutter of agreement with the Darkness
[23:13] <Spiritcurse> "I'll check for sentients. But now, let's move."
[23:13] <Codex> Impatiently, and somewhat paradoxically I say, "Come on, there's no time like the present. Sort of. Actually, there's an infathomable amount of times, but that takes time to explain."
[23:13] <@Dorian> Iocus rolls his eyes, "Of course they do. Each of the circle has one city. This is Effervo's."
[23:14] <Dark> "[The swarmlord? Shame]"
[23:16] <Spiritcurse> "Can you teleport us closer?"
[23:16] <Codex> Suddenly, Codex bounces off of the pavment and back onto the disc. "What the flying fuck are THEY!?" Pointing at the ground.
[23:17] <Spiritcurse> "Bugs. Stand close to me, they don't fare too well. Turns out a tiny mind is easy to switch off."
[23:17] <Codex> "There's so many!"
[23:18] <@Dorian> Iocus glances down, "Beetles, flies, ladybirds, you name it. Ignore them, there's nothing too dangerous."
[23:18] <@Dorian> Sure enough, in a radius of about 1 foot, all the bugs around Relino are dead.
[23:19] <Codex> Codex proceeds to float into this one foot radius on the disc.
[23:19] <Spiritcurse> "Their thoughts are delicious... Nah, I'm joking. They barely have thoughts - buzz buzz, fly fly, eat eat, mate mate."
[23:19] <Dark> A snake loweres down and sniffs at the dead bugs before giving a snort and pulling away "[Worthless things]"
[23:19] <Kite> Aria jumps off the disc not giving a care what so ever about the insects.
[23:19] <Codex> Codex chuckles nervously. "Alright then, let's press on. Where are we going?"
[23:19] <@Dorian> "The tower base. The Harbinger is waiting for us there."
[23:22] <Kite> "Well then... let's go..."
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> "Can you teleport? Fly? Or something, surely."
[23:22] <Dark> Conjack nods and moves, a pair of Assassin Heartless appearing from thin air to flank him
[23:23] <@Dorian> "Me? Not for all of us."
[23:24] <Dark> I hold the chibi Heartless (Yes its a class) "Take this, I can trace it and appear where ever it is...so long as their is a small bit of shadow"
[23:24] <Codex> With a wave of a hand, the disc dissolves, yet codex remains floating. As does anybody who doesn't already have the ability to fly.
[23:25] <Spiritcurse> "Best get this ready, not sure what reception we'll get". I swell my aura to a few yards, and all insects around drop to the ground. "Nom."
[23:26] <Codex> "Let's be off then."
[23:26] <@Dorian> "This is true, noone knows what's inside the towers. Also, 'nom'?"
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "Delicious insect thoughts. I'm joking. I've no idea how to fly in this, by the way."
[23:28] <Codex> "Just sort of push yourself in that direction with your... energy. It's not a concious thought but it's not a discernable thing in your head that happens either. You just sort of do it."
[23:29] <Spiritcurse> "That works, I guess." I use my illusions to visualize a more intuitive method, then glide up.
[23:29] <Dark> Propelled by wings made purly from dark smoke, Conjack flies ahead, his face a dead pan expression
[23:30] <Codex> "That's pretty cool." Codex remarks, making his way towards the tower.
[00:10] <@Dorian> As you approach the tower, you notice the Harbinger stood, looking up at the spire.
[00:11] <Spiritcurse> "Want me to mess with him from here? Or just invisibility?"
[00:12] <@Dorian> Iocus glances over, "No, no, we're good."
[00:13] <Spiritcurse> "Right, do we need to ignore him? Kill him?"
[00:13] <@Dorian> "He's an ally."
[00:13] <Spiritcurse> "So are those me-damned dark creatures, and I'd splat any of those that got too close."
[00:14] <Dark> "[Likewise]"
[00:17] <@Dorian> Iocus rolls his eyes, "Look, just land, ok?" He then begins his descent.
[00:19] <Spiritcurse> "Fine..." I drift to the ground, spreading my aura around and excluding present company from it.
[00:21] <Codex> Codex follows, keeping close to the telekinetic.
[00:22] <Dark> I land gently, my fave still void of expression
[00:27] <@Dorian> The Harbinger glances over and nods, before turning back to the tower. "This is going to be a hard fight."
[00:27] <Dark> "Arnt they always?"
[00:27] <Spiritcurse> "I'm sure we'll do okay. The others are standing by."
[00:28] <Codex> "What's the plan?"
[00:28] <Kite> "Walk in... maul in faces...?"
[00:29] <@Dorian> Iocus looks over. "Split up. Start fighting. Don't stop until we've destroyed the generator."
[00:29] <Dark> "[mindless destruction]"
[00:29] <Spiritcurse> "Got it. Where is it?" My aura spreads to full, and I cackle slightly.
[00:30] <Codex> "If you need things broken, point me in the right way and I'll start the overkill."
[00:30] <@Dorian> "Top of the spire, where else?"
[00:31] <Codex> Drawing the dagger he created last time, Codex looks around for a door. "It's been a while since I've seen such a tall building.
[00:31] <Spiritcurse> "Got it. Want their attention?"
[00:31] <Codex> "If you need a distraction, I can cover that with some flashy spells."
[00:32] <Codex> "We can have them all focus on me while you guys take out the power sources."
[00:33] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "Look, Codex, you go left, Relino right, Conjack from the front and Aria from behind. I'll hit it from below and you, Harbinger, hit it from above."
[00:33] <Spiritcurse> "Okay, let's do this!"
[00:34] <Dark> THe darkness gives a cruel laughter as it turns to Conjack, a knowing look spreading across its face
[00:34] <Codex> Codex turns to his allotted direction and starts walking, a grin on his face. One might even say, a shit-eating grin.
[00:35] <@Dorian> The Harbinger nods takes a few steps backwards. "Give me a little room?"
[00:37] <Dark> Conjack simply grunts as he walks forwad, his mind clearly not completly paying attention to what is happening as the snakes mutter in Darknling
[00:37] <Kite> Aria goes to her given direction wordlessly.
[00:39] <@Dorian> The Harbinger braces himself briefly before taking a running jump straight to the top of the tower.
[00:40] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "Showoff."
[00:40] <Codex> "Impressive."
[00:41] <@Dorian> As the Harbinger fades out of sight near the top of the tower, an explosion is heard and a large chunk of the top of the tower falls down.
[00:42] <Dark> Conjack doesnt even glance to look at him as he starts to...well sink into the floor. Every step looking like he is wading into a deeper tide until is head vanishes under the ground and nothing but a black shadow can be seen to head up the wall like a slithering snake
[00:43] <@Dorian> Iocus simply fades out, going noone knows where.
[00:43] <Kite> Aria simply just walks up the wall.
[01:36] <@Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

[00:51] <Codex> So, Codex walks to the left to attack the thing from his designated position.
[00:53] <Dorian> As you head to the left, you can see a weak point in the structure of the building.
[00:53] <Codex> I inspect the material. How breakable on a scale of one to potato and which way would it make it topple if able.
[00:54] <Dorian> The cracked crystal looks like it might crumple under a strong hammer blow.
[00:59] <Codex> Shaping my dagger into a hammer and crafting a spell to increase my strength at the same time.
[00:59] <Codex> I take a swing at the breakable part of the Crystal.
[01:02] <Dorian> As your hammer hand hits the wall, you fall through due to just how little resistance the wall puts up.
[01:03] <Codex> "Oops."
[01:11] <Dorian> The corridor you have broken into is empty, but you can sense a faint aura coming from the path to the left.
[01:14] <Codex> I proceed to take a quick peek down this path.
[01:15] <Dorian> As you glance down the path, you can see the shadows of a swarm.
[01:20] <Codex> I attempt to conjure a flame jet to fire down the corridor towards this swarm.
[01:23] <Dorian> As the jet sears down the corridor, it removes a decent-sized chunk of the swarm... which quickly reforms. And takes on a humanoid form.
[01:26] <Codex> "I fear that was a mistake."
[01:26] <Dorian> The swarm speaks to you, "It was."
[01:26] <Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

[00:44] <Dark> I'm creeping up the wall, looking in windows if any and always scanning for hearts of note
[00:44] <Dorian> There appears to be a command room about 20 or so floors up.
[00:44] <Dark> Will enter a point of entry that seems appropiate
[00:44] <Dark> there we go then
[00:45] <Dorian> As you slide up the room, you sense a command room, containing some ten or twelve people.
[00:46] <Dark> Silently, the snake like shadow slides across the cieling, keeping the the edge where it blends in with the natural shadows to see the people
[01:10] <Dorian> As you look at the people, you recognise them as the suit-wearing men from before.
[01:12] <Dark> doing anything of interest?
[01:13] <Dorian> The men are simply doing things that most people would be expected to do in a command room - drinking coffee, chatting, playing cards, ignoring their stations.
[01:16] <Dark> I continue to slip across the room, searching for a machine that looks as though it would store logs on other locations of circle members or of what happened after we had left Mahora
[01:17] <Dorian> You can see no suc machine, although a strange humming can be heard from a few rooms away.
[01:19] <Dark> Surpressing irritation, the snake slides to the door and into the corridor, heading towards the humming whilst eternally keeping an eye out for things of interest
[01:25] <Dorian> As you head into the room in question, you see a small swarm in the middle of the room.
[01:26] <Dark> Pausing, the snake merely pokes its head through the door, glancing around the room without fully entering
[01:27] <Dorian> The swarm is simply hovering in front of a comuter bank.
[01:28] <Dark> anything that indicates what its for?
[01:31] <Dorian> The computer appears to be a primary databank.
[01:32] <Dark> slithering fowrad, the snake spilts into five seperate shapes and incircle the swarm, leaving a breath of space between themselves and the swarm as they lower just enough to have their jaws open in 3D
[01:34] <Dorian> The swarm appears not to notice.
[01:34] <Dark> With the sickly sound of the Darkness exhailing from five diffrent mouths, a black mist pours out like fire from a dragon and surrounds the swarm
[01:35] <Dorian> The swarm is well and truly poisoned, and falls down dead... before reforming some three feet away and taking a humanoid form.
[01:35] <Dorian> "Greetings, Corruption."
[01:35] <Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

00:45] <Dorian> As you head for the roof, you can see a large main entrance round the back of the tower.
[00:46] <Kite> Aria smiles before geting off the wall to go through the door.
[00:55] <Kite> Aria wanders around as she searches the area for anything of importance.
[00:55] <Dorian> There isn't much of importance around, just one pillbox with a few guards in it.
[00:57] <Kite> Aria begins to walk up the wall then on the ceiling, crouching to make sure no one sees her as she begins to make her way to her destination.
[01:00] <Dorian> None of the men see you as you head towards them.
[01:01] <Kite> "Sorry..." Aria whispers softly as she begins to take aim at them.
[01:06] <Kite> As Aria continues to aim her fingernails begin to glow a faint purple before she fires, a blast of white sticky web fills the room before all the men scream from the poison invading their systems.
[01:12] <Kite> The men don't get much time to scream before they begin foaming from the mouth. Soon they stop squirming and quiet fills the room again.
[01:15] <Dorian> As the room falls quiet, a slight humming can be heard.
[01:15] <Kite> Aria begins looking around for the source of the humming.
[01:16] <Dorian> As you look around, you can see the shadows of a swarm.
[01:16] <Kite> Aria frowns before taking aim for the swarm.
[01:25] <Dorian> The swarm hovers aimlessly in the middle of the room.
[01:27] <Kite> Aria pauses for only a moment before she fires at the swarm of insects.
[01:30] <Dorian> As your bullet hits the swarm, it detonates, taking out a decent chunk of the swarm.
[01:30] <Dorian> It quickly reforms, and takes on a humanoid form, "Bad move."
[01:30] <Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

-+-

[00:49] <Dorian> As you head upwards, you can sense a center of high power near the middle of the tower.
[00:54] <Spiritcurse> "Time to have some fun." I focus on one guard and try to twist their mind, casuing phantasmal creations to leap at them, and their friends to appear to turn against them.
[00:55] <Dorian> You can sense the guard going mad and start attacking his friends. He is quickly put down in a burst of plamsa-y death.
[00:55] <Dorian> Not before taking two of his friends, though.
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> After a brief check on how many are left, I lock into another and bypass his defences, ready to drop him at will.
[00:58] <Dorian> Of the remaining twelve, you manage to be at the ready to hijack one of them.
[01:00] <Spiritcurse> Forcing my illusions on him, I focus enough to boil the flesh from his bones.
[01:00] <Dorian> The man collapses, screaming in pain. He's still concious and alive, somehow.
[01:01] <Spiritcurse> Surprised at this turn of events, I concentrate for a further second.
[01:02] <Dorian> The man collpases, no longer screaming in pain. Or moving. Or breathing.
[01:03] <Spiritcurse> I switch to the next mind, break in, and change events for him. He's alone in a dark room, nothing but cold stone beneath him, and darkness in every direction. Light blazes in front of him. "YOU'RE NEXT".
[01:04] <Dorian> The man falls over, screaming in fear.
[01:05] <Spiritcurse> As he falls, he seems to fall through the floor for an age, before landing on his feet, somehow unharmed. Still in utter darkness, the sounds of heavy breathing on his neck break the eerie silence.
[01:12] <Dorian> The man simply collapses, passed out from fear. His friends are now looking around for what is attacking them.
[01:16] <Spiritcurse> I turn my mind's eye to a soldier, and attempt to wrest control of it for my own ends.
[01:16] <Dorian> Your attemps to control backfires about as much as it can, and you end up giving control of your mind to the man.
[01:28] <Dorian> Your mind blanks out as a feedback loop creates a link between you and the man you had set illusions on.
[01:28] <Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

Spirit, you messed up it a bit

[Finally, his arrogance has come back to bite him...]

I'm not used to having the possibility of failure! It feels... exciting! Though by gods I feel sorry for you if he keeps those powers much longer.

[21:56] <Dorian> The swarm is stood in front of you, having just informed you your flame jet attack was, to use your words, a "bad idea"
[22:04] <Codex> "I have a feeling this fight might... Drag-on."
[22:05] <Dorian> With that attrocious pun for which the DM will probably KILL you, you turn into a rather large dragon.
[22:05] <Dorian> "Oh."
[22:05] <Dorian> "You have some impressive skills, mage."
[22:07] <Codex> ["I try."]
[22:09] <Dorian> "Too bad they will not help you here."
[22:10] <Codex> ["Oh?"]
[22:19] <Codex> Opening my maw, I let out a jet of death towards the swarm ahead, Along with a mighty roar.
[22:21] <Dorian> The swarm melts and fizzles. Along with most of the corridor.
[22:32] <Codex> I decide to take in my surroundings and begin search for a weak spot.
[22:35] <Dorian> As you wander around the building, you see what appears to be a structural weak point.
[22:36] <Codex> I proceed to smash it as hard as I can with my tail, whilst preparing a spell.
[22:50] <Dorian> A rumble can be heard as the roof starts to fall in.
[22:53] <Codex> I collapse my body into flame and head for the exit as fast as possible.
[22:53] <Dorian> Being made of flame, everywhere is an exit.
[22:53] <Codex> I leave via everywhere.

__**__

[21:58] <Dorian> The swarm in humanoid form is stood in front of you, looking incredibly... impassive. Due to, you know, the whole "no face" thing.
[22:00] <Dark> "[Ah]" The snakes smile as they form back into one, chuckling slightly "[Hello again Swarmlord]"
[22:03] <Dark> "[I was wondering when you would send you're little pets to find me instead of these worthless guards]"
[22:04] <Dorian> "Why are you here, Corruption?"
[22:07] <Dark> "To enjoy myself and...provide my host with the information he desires on what has become of his precious allies that lived in this world]" A tendral pokes at the computer screen "[He always did alow his compasion for others to drive him to do stupid things]"
[22:11] <Dorian> "Then why is your prison here?"
[22:12] <Dark> "[As I say, because he cares for this world and its people for some reason. When he found out the...histroy of your master he has had so many images of destruction and memory go through his mind, some caused by me, and he wants to know of his so called freinds and their fate]"
[22:13] <Dorian> "Where would these friends be? Many groups have been illiminated since you left."
[22:15] <Dark> "[Oh I bet they have]" The snake gives a cruel laugh "[As a matter of fact I'm hoping for it. Jackie is already losing himself in his need for vengunce again. But as for his freinds]" a second snake lowers and hovers by the compute "[if you dont mind?]" for some reason it smiles again
[22:17] <Dorian> "Go ahead. Be warned, if we must fight you will lose."
[22:19] <Dark> The snake rolls its eyes "yes, yes. We all love our power and showing it to be greater but to be honest, I couldnt care less. I didnt care during the war and I dont care now]" Again a cruel laugh as the computer is accessed by the second snake "[I'm just a Deiim who wants his message to be heard by all]"
[22:22] <Dorian> "This tower cannot broadcast. It can only create the feild."
[22:23] <Dark> "[Oh please dont insult me Swarmlord. As if the Darkness needs some computer to show others freedom]"
[22:25] <Dark> "[Ground zero?]" The snakes eyes flash a deep yellow as it grin widens "[That sounds fun]"
[22:26] <Dorian> "Which ground zero do you refer to?"
[22:26] <Dark> "[New York. I'm assuming that would be of your master's design?]
[22:27] <Dorian> "Indeed. The Americas were the most resistant. Total annihilation of their cultural capital was necessary to pacify them."
[22:30] <Dark> "[Yesssssssssss]" The snake shivers as it smiles "[My host remembers the tactics of your master.]" It gives an animal sound "[Though I always found it crude. But I als see even your cricle has failed to tame this world completely]"
[22:30] <Dark> The snake begins to circle "[Having a little trouble with a resistance?]"
[22:31] <Dorian> "The resistance. They will perish. They have been confined to the Carribean islands. Time is the only issue here."
[22:33] <Dark> "[Oh I'm sure. The master will purge all and this world will burn as so many have before. But what then?]"
[22:36] <Dorian> "We will unlock the Cosmic Keystone, and transcend the state of Deiim."
[22:37] <Dark> Again the snake laughs as it says sarcastically "[and then you shall have UNLIMITED POWER!]
[22:38] <Dorian> "Not unlimited. Just enough to remake the worlds as we see fit."
[22:38] <Dark> "[Oh I'm sure. But enough joking]" the snake turns back towards him with a grin "[I feel the need to offer you my thanks swarmlord]"
[22:42] <Dorian> "Oh? Why?"
[22:44] <Dark> "[For handing me the heart of my host on a silver platter]" The snake gives a mock bow of respect as it laughs "[He was trully putting a fight lately and had recieved a lot of aid from those who would rob me of my birthright and I wont deny I woud have taken another century at least to take him. But now...now your actions have allowed me to take his heart. His rage embraces the night]"
[22:44] <Dark> [Thanks to your circle, Jackie will soon by mine]"
[22:46] <Dorian> "Oh, that is good news. It will make it much easier to defeat you." The swarm seems to chuckle, before glancing away. "Huh. We seem to be in a falling building."
[22:46] <Dark> "[and now we have even come to a world full with those he sees as enermies and...even more satisfying to see...is currently going through a repeat of his own worlds last hours. Can you imagine the images he has flashing though his mind to see his world die to the same foe yet again?]"
[22:48] <Dark> "[And to top it all off...a world away form his beloved vampire! Its...]" The snake tilts his head before somehow shrugging (rather hard to do without sholders) "[Hmmm....I guess the hosts allies got their work done]"
[22:48] <Dorian> A rumble can be heard as the roof starts to fall in.
[22:49] <Dorian> "Goodbye, Corruption. I will see you in the Artic."
[22:49] <Dark> Grimicing slightly against the light that comes through, the snake fades into a shadow and slips through the gap with a final cry of "[A last thank you Swarmlord, and I shall be sure to, thank, each of the circle in person]"
[22:49] <Dorian> The swarm starts to disperse out of the building.
[22:50] <Dark> The Darkness makes no move to stop the swarm leave, laughing to itself
[22:54] <Dark> "[Are you happy now Jackie? I got you the information you wanted]"
[22:55] <Dark> The snake pauses before howling with laughter as it feels the emotion of hate surge through its body from its hosts mind
[22:55] <Dark> [YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.....]
[22:59] <Dorian> The falling building is now rather pressing, if only due to the large spike through the floor.
[23:00] <Dark> remaining in its 2D form, the snake moves out of the way still silently laughing

__**__

[22:01] <Dorian> The swarm is stood in front of you, giving you a look of absolute contempt, for all that a swarm man can give looks of contempt
[22:05] <Kite> Aria looks at the swarm man before running on the ceiling and out of the room.
[22:07] <Dorian> The swarm disperses and starts to follow you at high speed.
[22:08] <Kite> As the swarm follows Aria jumps, the launch sending her furthur away from the swarm then it should have down one of the corridors.
[22:10] <Dorian> "Arachae-based humanoid. Type: unknown, probably sniper. She must be iliminated."
[22:12] <Kite> "That's not very nice..." Aria says from down the corridor. She stays watching it for a moment before jumping down another corridor.
[22:12] <Dorian> The swarm completely disperses, dissapearing into the walls.
[22:13] <Kite> "I... can still see you..."
[22:18] <Kite> "... This can be... very troublesome though..." Aria says. She frowns before shooting her bullet experimentally into the wall where a part of the swarm went into.
[22:21] <Dorian> The wall shatters, revealing billions of fucking insects. BILLIONS of them. Apparently, they have sensing protection or something. Or the crystal does.
[22:26] <Kite> "This is... not good..." Aria says worried before shooting that same place again.
[22:28] <Dorian> The swarm breaks at the impact zone and lots of it gets tangled up in the web. The rest starts to seep out and take on a humanoid form.
[22:29] <Kite> "...Hello again..."
[22:29] <Dorian> "Indeed."
[22:36] <Kite> Aria looks at the swarm before shooting again this time above the swarm onto the ceiling. The web that explodes from the shot falls down around and on the swarm poisoning everything it touches.
[22:43] <Dorian> The insects are pinned beneath the web, strugglign to get out.
[22:47] <Kite> As the insects struggle more poison courses through them. As that is happening Aria leaps back to seperate herself from the swarm just in case.
[22:50] <Dorian> A rumble can be heard as the roof starts to fall in.
[22:52] <Kite> Aria begins looking around looking for the cause of the roof collapse as she starts to move away.
[22:55] <Dorian> The roof appears to be falling in due to a structural error in the building.
[22:56] <Kite> Aria grimaces before running looking for an exit, using her vision to see if she can see any of her partners or any enemies while she does so.
[22:59] <Dorian> Aria can make out a decent exit, as well as a large glowy magic sign being projected by Relino
[23:02] <Kite> As Aria runs towards the exit the posion in the web still works over what's left in it, not caring if it's alive or dead. With that Aria makes her way out though still looking around to make sure everyone else is okay.

__**__

[22:06] <Dorian> As the blackness fades, you come face to face with about 30 of the masked men, all of them pointing their gun finger at you.
[22:07] <Spiritcurse> "Oh gods no. I don't suppose you've come to take me in peacefully?" I raise my hands above my head and spread my aura to encompass all of them, invisibly.
[22:11] <Dorian> One of the men clutches at his head and starts screaming. The others all start charging their weapons. "Shut down the aura. NOW."
[22:13] <Spiritcurse> "Done." I lessen the effect of the aura, targeting it against the senses, especially that sensing mental pain.
[22:17] <Dorian> Several of the men collapse into extreme pain, sreaming as they go. The remaining men fire several warning shots over Relino's shoulders, grazing him slightly. "I said SHUT DOWN THE AURA. NOW!!!"
[22:19] <Spiritcurse> "Fine, spoil all my fun..." Taking advantage of their presumably lowered will, I fill their minds with an illusion of their flesh burning, so real the room starts to heat slightly.
[22:21] <Spiritcurse> After half a second of contemplation, I replace the scent of melting flesh with that of warm lavender. "Delicious."
[22:37] <Dorian> You can hear the smash of a dragon smashing a massive ass slab of crystal.
[22:39] <Spiritcurse> "That sounded nice." I hover into the air and move towards the sound.
[22:51] <Dorian> A rumble can be heard as the building starts to collapse
[22:51] <Spiritcurse> Shrugging, I move out of the nearest available exit.
[22:52] <Dorian> Being near a largr hole in the wall that you hadn't noticed, you get outisde will all due haste.
[22:53] <Spiritcurse> I emit a bright glow and shape it into "RIGHT, COME HERE, WE'LL GET OUT" above myself in 30 foot high letters.

__**__

[23:04] <Spiritcurse> I drift quietly out of a hole in the wall before sending up a signal. "RIGHT, GET OVER HERE" in yellow 30' letters decorates the sky above.
[23:05] <Codex> Fire emerges from the cracks over one quater of the crystal and pour over the edges searching for a platform to land on and reform.
[23:06] <Kite> Aria pants as she runs out of the building before running towards were everyone is meeting up.
[23:07] <Dark> With a swirl of black shadow, a large snake of black slithers along walls and towards you, its enitre body shaking with laughter as it comes
[23:09] <Kite> "Glad to see... everyone is oaky..."
[23:10] <Dark> Continuing its laughing, the snake rises and a tendal rips from the ground, hurling a shadow onto the ground that solidifies into Conjack just in time to slam hard into the ground
[23:10] <Codex> As the fire reaches it's destination it reforms into a large dragon. ["I don't know how to undo this."]
[23:11] <Spiritcurse> I dismiss the letters with a wave of my hand. "I... what did you do?"
[23:13] <Dark> "Let it burn" Conjack hisses as he stands, his eyes glowing "Let the entire place burn"
[23:13] <Kite> Aria grimaces before taking a step away from the dragon and the burning building in general.
[23:14] <Codex> I begin to lay down. ["Magic. There was a man made of bugs in there."]
[23:16] <Codex> I stretch my wings out. ["Perhaps this wasn't the most practical idea for an indoor situation."]
[23:16] <Spiritcurse> "And you thought the logical thing to do was become a dragon?"
[23:17] <Codex> ["I've never seen a dragon die. Have you?"]
[23:17] <Dark> "Yes"
[23:17] <Spiritcurse> "I've never seen a dragon."
[23:18] <@Dorian> Iocus fades into view, "What the fuck did you do?"
[23:18] <Codex> I turn to Conjack. ["That's not what I wanted to hear"] A large gutteral groan is emitted along with this thought.
[23:19] <Dark> "What had to be done" COnjack says with no emotion, the snakes sneering at Codex's words
[23:20] <Spiritcurse> I mutter into a commlink on my collar. "Prep the medbay and cybernetic surgeons. I have an idea. Oh, and Codex is gonna need a bigger bedroom."
[23:24] <Kite> "Well then let's go...?" Aria says before climbing on Codex's back.
[23:24] <Codex> I roll my eyes at Relino. ["The next ones, let's make short work of them."] I address Iocus with this.
[23:25] <Spiritcurse> I jump on Codex's back and settle down, mentally replacing the scratch of the scales with a fluffy pillow.
[23:25] <@Dorian> Iocus looks over, "Why the fuck are you a dragon?"
[23:26] <Codex> ["Dragons don't die often." I pause for a moment. "I also thought of an amazing pun when I was about to cast a spell and it distracted me from my actual spell."]
[23:27] <@Dorian> "Puns and power." Iocus shakes his head, "Of. Course."
[23:28] <Dark> "You are surprised?"
[23:28] <Spiritcurse> "I'm impressed."
[23:28] <@Dorian> "Not in the slightest."
[23:29] <Codex> ["You would have done the same."] I give my wings another stretch. ["Can you tell us where the next one is?"]
[23:29] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "You should probably change back. The next one will require more finesse than 'Dragon'. It belongs to Domino."
[23:30] <Codex> ["That's disapointing."]
[23:31] <Dark> At the name, Conjack tenses and the snakes grin
[23:34] <Codex> With a draconic sigh, I begin to change back, allowing the two on my back to slump to the floor. "Would you get off of me please?"
[23:36] <Kite> Aria gets off Codex's back laughing softly though it doesn't last long as she begins to look at Conjack's snake thinking.
[23:37] <Spiritcurse> I jump off and continue focusing intently.
[23:38] <Dark> The snake notices you staring and turns to you with a grin and a flash of yellow eyes "[Having fun?]"
[23:41] <Kite> "..."
[23:42] <Dark> Again the snake sneers as its eyes lower to where you heart is. With a chuckle of somthing in Darkling, it turns back to watch Conjack
[23:42] <Codex> "Illusion man." I turn and stand. "Give us the directions and, if possible, any helpful information."
[23:42] <@Dorian> Iocus nods, "Ok, we need to head north east from here. About 1000 miles."
[23:42] <@Dorian> "Oh, and when we get there, try not to think. At all."
[23:42] <Spiritcurse> "In that case, I should switch a simpler body."
[23:43] <Codex> I stay silent for a moment, attempting to comprehend what has just been said.
[23:44] <Dark> Conjack has remaind silent since Iocus had announced Domino, his eyes glowling slightly yet not focusing on anything
[23:48] <Kite> "So now what..."
[23:50] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, "We should set out as soon as possible. We'll need the travel time."
[23:51] <Dark> "[Oh my host and I have been ready to go may our dear Domino a visit for a while]"
[23:53] <@Dorian> }{[[END OF SESSION]]}{

This was fun... xD

[22:13] <@Dorian> LAST SESSION, YOU ALL WENT POSTAL ON EFFERVOOO!!!!! THIS WEEK, IT'S DOMINO'S TURN, AND IT IS ON LIKE DONKEY KOOOOOOONNGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[22:14] <Codex> "So, how are getting there?"
[22:14] *** Kite (Kite@sux-A2C8104E.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) joined
[22:16] <Spiritcurse> "Teleport?"
[22:17] <Codex> "He just said, 'Try not to think', Suprisingly enough, teleporting takes quite a thought."
[22:18] <Codex> "Well, more of a really strong will."
[22:19] <Spiritcurse> "Get the people back home to teleport us?"
[22:19] <Codex> "Seriously, don't get distracted while you're teleporting, I was once suprised by a spider when I was teleporting and ended up..." I shake my head. "It was horrible."
[22:20] <Spiritcurse> "Same thing with my tricks. Hiccuped half way through a power word, and... oh wait, you were at Asgard too, right?"
[22:20] <Codex> I giggle and nod. "I remember that."
[22:20] <Spiritcurse> "Good times, I know."
[22:23] <Codex> I turn to party asking, "Any ideas?"
[22:25] <@Dark> "If Domino reads minds...Perhaps we should send those without minds to scout?"
[22:25] <Spiritcurse> "You want to be telefrag him with republicans?"
[22:26] <@Dark> "Funny"
[22:26] <Codex> "I'm certain I could 'throw' something in the general direction if I was given a pointer from our friends here." I pause for a moment. "What do you have in mind?"
[22:26] <Codex> "Or lack thereoff."
[22:27] <@Dark> "I was reffering to the Heartless" I say simply "I have been gathering them for my next meeting with this scum. They are nothing but mindless puppets...he has no authority over them"
[22:28] <Codex> "I think we'll need a couple of them guarding us each when we go through, I don't know about you, but I don't know many things to quieten a mind. Not off the top of my head anyway. Funny that."
[22:28] <Spiritcurse> "I'm good with minds. I can do some shenanigans if requested."
[22:29] <Codex> "Can you hide us from a Diem?"
[22:30] <@Dark> "Indeed. I will send Assassin Heartless ahead of use to form a mental map of the place for me. Warriors and Scorpiok will strike where we need them"
[22:30] <Spiritcurse> "Depends. If he's distracted, asleep, or high, yes. Otherwise, probably not."
[22:32] <Codex> "J r
[22:32] <Codex> "I reckon we could get him high." I turn to Iocus. "Are we in a rush?"
[22:37] <@Dorian> Iocus nods his head, "Sort of. We have about a week before we're all fucked."
[22:37] <Codex> "That's plenty of time, do you know his habbits, for instance, when he eats?"
[22:37] <@Dark> [lets go on vacation then Jackie]
[22:37] <Kite> "To just take care of Domino... or until the whole world comes down?"
[22:38] <Codex> I place my hands before me, creating a small ruby, growing it over time and enchanting it as the conversation moves on.
[22:40] <@Dorian> "Until the whole world is gone. Also, I have nothing, only the general area."
[22:41] <@Dark> "If we could isolate one of his main servents I could do my mindy rape and find out?"
[22:41] <Codex> Once the ruby is roughly fist sized, I stop growing it and turn to Conjack. "We'll need a mindless drown."
[22:42] <@Dorian> "Probably not. Domino is, after all, a massive dick, and probably takes all memories that could be used against him."
[22:43] <@Dark> "I'm sure he does..." I sigh "Any size of mindless drone?"
[22:43] <Codex> "The faster and harder to see, the better."
[22:44] <@Dark> I nod before raising a hand. behind me, a largeish Arachnid like Heartless rises upon eight, needle tipped legs
[22:45] <Codex> I look to the ruby and then to spider. "A way to hold this might be useful for them."
[22:45] <Kite> Aria stops what ever she was doing as Conjack summons the heartless simply content to stare at the spider like heartless.
[22:46] <@Dark> The Heartless tilts its head before its black body seems to shape slightly and a open space appears beneath its body
[22:48] <@Dark> "Place it in there...I mean it when I say there is nothing inside that thing"
[22:49] <Spiritcurse> With a murmured prayer to myself, I bless the little heartless with luck, fortitude, and speed.
[22:49] <@Dark> The Heartless clicks loudly as it is blessed (clearly not happy with the idea) before going silent again
[22:51] <Codex> The ruby glows before dimming down again, as I tentitivly place it in the heartless. "Hopefully that'll help." I turn to Conjack. "I guess you've got the wheel now."
[22:52] <@Dark> "I hope" I nod as the Heartless's body seals around the ruby
[22:53] <Codex> "Iocus, could you assist me with targetting a spell to where we need this thing to be?"
[22:54] <@Dorian> "Got it."
[22:54] <@Dark> With a loud hiss, one of the snakes breaths out a cloud of smoke which forms around us like a screen to show images of...us
[22:54] <Codex> "This is interesting."
[22:54] <@Dark> "[I can see through the creatures eyes...though it is distasteful]"
[23:01] <Kite> "What's wrong with this?"
[23:03] <@Dark> With a loud series of clicks the Heartless begins to bulge and spasam as its legs kick and stap at the ground. Then, a thick black cloud rises from its body and consumes it into a black tornado that rises high into the air. When it fades, the Spider Heartless has been replaced with a black Tiamat with glowing yellow eyes
[23:03] <@Dark> "What was the point of asking me for a stealthy Heartless?"
[23:03] <Spiritcurse> "This is MUCH better!"
[23:04] <Codex> "I accidentally a spell."
[23:05] <@Dark> "[But this isnt...]" The snake hisses "[you corrupt my own minions into your pointless show of streingth!]"
[23:06] <Spiritcurse> I lean down to my collar and speak a few words into the mic. "Trace this port. Get a suit of the old Draconic Aegis MkII, alter to fit, and slip that on."
[23:07] <@Dorian> Iocus sighs, and reaches over to Codex, his hand touching Codex's forehead. "Here is where it needs to go."
[23:08] <@Dark> The darkness snaps at the air, its anger at what is happening clear yet held in check by Conjack
[23:09] <Codex> With a nod and quick flick, the creature is gone from sight, rather un-ceramoniously.
[23:09] <@Dark> The snakes hiss again and Conjack closes his eyes, his mind keeping an trave of the Heartless
[23:10] <Codex> I turn to Conjack. "I'm sorry about that, but this should atleast shake 'em up a bit."
[23:10] <@Dark> "I care little for the Heartless. Plus it pissed him off to no end" I gesture to the snake "So no problem"
[23:11] <Spiritcurse> "If he damages my armour.... I was going to wear that when I become a dragon."
[23:11] <Codex> I smile. "At least you have a new pet to play with."
[23:11] <@Dark> "True. May be useful"
[23:11] <@Dark> "[It is tainted...]"
[23:11] <@Dark> "Oh shush"
[23:13] <Codex> I wait for a moment. "So... is there a way you can show us what's happening?"
[23:16] <@Dark> "I already am" I gesutre to the spoke from before
[23:16] <Codex> "Ahh, of course."

[00:06] <@Dorian> The fog codelaces into an image of Tiamat in rather large magitech power armor in the middle of a city.
[00:12] <@Dorian> Tiamat roars with heads 2-4. Head 1 is gazing longingly at the crystal spire in the middle, whilst head 5 is breathing firey death at said spire.
[00:13] <Dark> "[This is no longer connected to me]"
[00:14] <@Dorian> Iocus nods, "Greater Wishes can have that effect. Upside, you should be able to give it memories of when it was a heartless."
[00:14] <Codex> "That's not good."
[00:15] <Spiritcurse> "Want me to lock the armour down if it gets too bad?"
[00:15] <Dark> The snakes eyes flash and turn towards Iocus "[Why would I? That think is no longer one of my warriors. It may still serve me but it now goes agaisnt everything I stand for]"
[00:16] <Dark> "[I will place command of that mutent under the mage's control once it returns]"
[00:16] <Codex> "You stand against dragons? Also, I don't remember putting that armour on it."
[00:16] <@Dorian> "Can still give it memories and use it as the sledge-hammer to your metaphorical hair-pin."
[00:17] <Dark> The snake gives another growl before looking back to the smoke, Conjack keeping his eyes closed as he mentally guides the former Assassin
[00:17] <@Dorian> Tiamat is now being assailed by some of those men in weird armor from way back when that are probably worse than cannon fodder to you now.
[00:18] <Spiritcurse> "That was me, I had the men back home play around a little. Minor benefit, it's also all but immune to malaria."
[00:18] <Dark> "[I rest my case...pointless destruction]"
[00:19] <@Dorian> Iocus grins, "Oh, but sometimes a little chaos is just what is called for, and the only way to incite that is destruction."
[00:19] <Codex> "True. Also, this means we don't have to get directly invovled for once, if it goes well."
[00:19] <Dark> "[Remind me again why we should trust you not to be working with the Deiim of destruction?]"
[00:19] <Spiritcurse> "Besides, it's only creation backwards. That's like creation, right?"
[00:20] <@Dorian> "He ahd my daughter killed brutally and painfully?"
[00:20] <@Dorian> "He wants to destroy everything everywhere ever?"
[00:21] <Codex> "Oh no, not everything!"
[00:21] <Dark> The snakes grin and chuckle amongst themeslves "[I do like the way people's hearts shudder when they say things like that]"
[00:23] <Dark> "So where am I taking this thing?" Conjack asks, twitching his fingers in mental guides to the beast
[00:29] <Codex> "The same thing we came here to destroy I guess."
[00:30] <Dark> The snakes mutter in annoyence in their language before a tendral sways its arm and the creature heads towards the energy core that Codex had demonstrated destroying in the last one
[00:32] <@Dorian> As Tiamat swaggers towards the core, she lets out her breath weapon from each of her heads. This... well, remember Asgard? That.
[00:33] <Codex> "Now that has got to be fun."
[00:33] <Dark> "[........]"
[00:33] <Spiritcurse> "I want one."
[00:34] <@Dorian> "Oh, that is ridiculous on so many levels."
[00:37] <Dark> As the city burns and begins to fall, the snakes give another hiss and a second tendral waves in unision with a flick of his own hand. Upon the motions, the creatures fades into a cloud of shadow
[00:39] <@Dorian> Iocus glances over, "So, where to next?"
[00:40] <Dark> With another wave the best appears beside Conjack where a snake begins to hiss in its language at it. Then, with a loud snap of the Darkness' jaw, it vanishes again
[00:41] <Codex> "We've been following your orders, you tell us."
[00:41] <Spiritcurse> "Next one, unless we can arrange a more effective strike?"
[00:41] <@Dorian> "I like Relino's idea. Downside: I have no clue where the enxt one is. I was relying on that place's computer banks to find out.
[00:41] <@Dorian> "
[00:42] <Dark> "[And that is why I prefer taking my time in war. You pay attention to more then just "What can we kill next"]" the snake hisses in contempt
[00:42] <Spiritcurse> "Good thing we've got a satellite, we can get images."
[00:43] <@Dorian> "Oh, and you don't think I tried that? They're all shrouded from orbit."
[00:44] <Spiritcurse> "We've got arcane and technical scanners, not to mention a genius AI. How're they protected?"
[00:44] <Codex> "That's a tricky one."
[00:44] <Dark> With a sway of its tendral again, a sea of black smoke rises and forms the image of the various worlds. Its eyes flash a bright yellow it marks out a few places in bruning white "[then what is this that the night has found?]"
[00:47] <@Dorian> "...What I couldn't, apparently."
[00:48] <Dark> Eyes flashing yellow the snake grins "[Not saying much, Illusion]"
[00:48] <Spiritcurse> "Right, want orbital strikes on those locations? We can take one with various summons, two between us in groups of two, and Aegis can handle three."
[00:48] <@Dorian> "What did I say about orbital strikes?"
[00:49] <Spiritcurse> "Well, sending a dragon worked."
[00:49] <Dark> "[You deal with all the ones you want sunslave. I will deal with this one]" a swirl of shadow zooms into a base stationed on the far side of another world.
[00:56] <@Dorian> "Dragons aren;t orbital strikes. Also, Pluto? Really?"
[00:56] <Dark> "[I need a break]" The snake states simply
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> "Smart missiles'll work, I'm sure."
[00:57] <@Dorian> "No. No smart missiles."
[00:59] <@Dorian> "Actually, you know what? Let's all take one city, and meet back in the Artic Circle in three days."
[01:02] <Spiritcurse> "Sounds like a plan." I turn again to my mic, and mutter several hushed commands to Aegis.

[22:47] <Dorian> After a lot of off-camera discussion, you decided to split the party, causing even more havoc for the group than was absolutely necessary. You chose to beat down Europe, as it was that or Australasia and man, FUCK Australasia.
[22:49] <Spiritcurse> Pausing only to ensure I'm sufficiently armed, I nod to my crew and settle into my usual form. The teleporter activates, creating a shimmering field of light before me, and a linked one hovering in the air above the next city.
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> I fire a couple of rockets from my shoulder-mounter cannons, and dive through the portal with a blood curdling scream. Paris had never shat so many bricks, even with the large crystal phallus I mean palace hovering above the Eiffel tower.
[23:02] <Dorian> People scatter as a single figure steps forward to challenge you. A single, diminuitive, recognisable figure. Aperiant.
[23:02] <Spiritcurse> "Remember me, little one?"
[23:04] <Dorian> Aperiant says nothing, but draws his Tri-code Key and takes a fighting stance.
[23:05] <Spiritcurse> "Ever the diplomat. Let's dance." I draw my maul and activate all shields while Aegis locks on.
[23:07] <Dorian> Aperiant lowers his stance, focuses briefly, and jumps, heading straight for you at high speed.
[23:07] <Spiritcurse> I flicker up another forcefield and fill the spaces between them with fire. "Stop that."
[23:08] <Dorian> As you start firing, Aperiant flickers out, like an image being turned off.
[23:10] <Dorian> As Aperiant flickers out, you hear something behind you.
[23:11] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, 360 vision please, I can tell he's going to be annoying."
[23:12] <Dorian> "Affirmitive" Aegis intones as Aperiant's key smashes into your sheilds.
[23:13] <Spiritcurse> "Wonderful, thanks. Now boy, you're mine." I create a dome of fire around us, then raise the heat as high as my climate control can handle.
[23:22] <Dorian> Aperiant just about manages to get out of the dome with some minor scorching. He then proceeds to flicker away again, like a goddamn teleport-spamming faggot.
[23:23] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, are you able to track this bastard?"
[23:23] <Dorian> "Affirmitive, although there will be some lag on all hypersonic movements."
[23:25] <Spiritcurse> "Excellent! Could you also message back to this ship - I want a time stop down here, and I want it YESTERDAY."
[23:25] <Dorian> "Affirmitive. It has been done, as you ordered."
[23:25] <Spiritcurse> "Not literally. I know Aucieccerax, funny man'll actually do it, and that won't help. Now would also be perfect."
[23:27] <Dorian> "Affirmitive"
[23:27] <Dorian> Time slows to a crawl around you, colour draining from everything.
[23:29] <Dorian> You manage to notice that there are a lot of instances of Aperiant around. And they all have colour.
[23:31] <Spiritcurse> "Gah. Right, new plan."
[23:32] <Dorian> All of the Aperiants take on a fighting stance as Aegis chimes in, "Sir, it appears he can move within the time stop."
[23:33] <Spiritcurse> "This strikes me as a bad thing. Right.... how many counts of Haste do we have charged?"
[23:33] <Dorian> "Five, sir. The others have been being periodically deployed in order to keep up with him."
[23:34] <Spiritcurse> "Dammit. We got any Great Wishes left?"
[23:34] <Dorian> "No, sir. All of that energy was expended in the dimension shift."
[23:34] <Dorian> One of the Aperiants attacks head on as you are talking to Aegis.
[23:35] <Spiritcurse> "Dammit." I flick my hand up just in time, deflecting the attack with an energy pulse.
[23:36] <Spiritcurse> "Right. How long for a ceremonial casting? Feel free to mess with time."
[23:36] <Dorian> The Aperiant flickers out, to be replaced by another one just behind him. Still attacking you.
[23:39] <Dorian> His key slams into your sheilds, damaging them heavily but not altogether noticably.
[23:41] <Spiritcurse> "Right, get a wish charged, I'm PISSED now. YOL TOOR SHUL!" I bellow, aiming in the rough direction of a large collection of bladers.
[23:47] <Spiritcurse> A roaring sea of flame pours from my mouth onto the battlefield, searing all it touches with a horrifying hiss. After rushing over the keybladers, it coalesces into a horde of skeletons, bodies composed of fire, clutching crude fascimiles of weapons in their flaming bones. The front most one kneels, and all speak as one. "My creator, I serve with honour."
[23:49] <Dorian> Some (i.e. about 66.666666.....%) of the skeletons near the back start to deform from sweeping, blade-like winds.
[23:51] <Spiritcurse> "Bought me some time. Aegis, progress on that wish? And link me to the ship's reactor, I need to try something."
[23:51] <Dorian> "Affirmitive."
[23:52] <Dorian> "..."
[23:52] <Dorian> "We have a 31.415% progress on the Wish, sir. Synchronising with the universe cannot be altered in time."
[23:53] <Spiritcurse> "So no reactor link? If not, at least get mine pumping out more, I need the juice."
[23:55] <Dorian> "I ahve raised your reactor's power by 900%. This will reduce the operational time by a quadratically proportional time, however. You have approximately one month remaining."
[23:56] <Spiritcurse> "That's okay, we can refuel at base."
[23:58] <Spiritcurse> "Perfect, this feels good. GAR IRA FURIA YOL TOOR DIVINUS NITOR SANCRETA SHUL!"
[00:11] <Dorian> The slight error in one of the words makes an... unusual effect. You're not quite sure what, but for some reason, the name "Xom" is now engraved on your eyelids.
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "But... huh. Aegis, should I try to find out what went wrong?"
[00:12] <Dorian> "No. You really should not."
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "Right. One usually works, how about two, and I'll work my way up?"
[00:13] <Dorian> "This seems like a good idea, sir."
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> "IRA GAR FURIA!"
[00:16] <Dorian> A blast of rainbow-coloured butterflies emminates from your mouth.
[00:18] <Spiritcurse> "Clearly a useful power. IRA GAR FURIA YOL TOOR SHUL!"
[00:20] <Dorian> A scroll apears on the floor.
[00:22] <Spiritcurse> Figuring it best to appease the power cursing me, I consume the scroll.
[00:24] <Dorian> As you consume the scroll, you get a little jolt of electricity throughout your body and hear a slight cackling in the back of your mind.
[00:26] <Dorian> Aperiant cocks his head and attacks head on, swinging madly with his key.
[00:29] <Spiritcurse> I block with another lazy slap of a forcefield, then raise my maul for a counter.
[00:32] <Dorian> As your maul swings through Aperiant, he goes hypersonic backwards to dodge it. This is the real one.
[00:32] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, fire."
[00:34] <Dorian> "Affirmitive" Aegis opens fire with the stun guns, which for some reason fire bolts of divine lightning. Some hyper deity is REALLY interested in you!
[00:35] <Dorian> The divine lightning rips into Aperiant, blasting him away to somewhere not ehre.
[00:38] <Spiritcurse> "Right, now slow down and fight properly."
[00:41] <Dorian> You realise that by "not here", the universe means either several thousand miles away or some other dimension.
[00:42] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, take me there. And if not, send a volley from the cannon there and take me to this core."
[00:43] <Dorian> "Location unknown. Cannot locate on all long-range sensors."
[00:46] <Spiritcurse> "Pretty much dead then. Right, to the core! And prep the mass driver."
[00:47] <Dorian> "Affirmitive. Activating teleportation circuits."
[00:48] <Dorian> A portal appears around you and starts to tug you towards the core of the building.
[00:49] <Spiritcurse> With typical Hrary foresight and planning, I leap into the portal, head pulled back ready to headbutt the first obstacle.
[00:52] <Dorian> The first thing that comes into view is a nice big glowy power thingy
[00:53] <Spiritcurse> True to my mental word, I slam my forehead into the nice big glowy power thingy at near-relativistic speeds.
[00:55] <Dorian> IT goes boom, in a highly satisfying explosion.
[00:55] <Dorian> That consumes the core and makes the city fall and smash into the ground.
[00:55] <Dorian> You remain immaculate, being the minmaxxing faggot that you are.
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> "Beautiful. Now, I'm fairly certain I need ale and female company. Aegis, beam me up!"
[00:58] <Dorian> Aegis takes on a Scottish accent, "Aye, captain."
[00:59] <Spiritcurse> "Wonderful."
[00:59] <Dorian> You are then beamed up in true Star trek fashion
[01:00] <Spiritcurse> "Right, that went well. Now, you, you, and you. Between you, you should be able to bring me my ale mug.
[01:00] <Spiritcurse> GO GO GO!"
[01:02] <Dorian> The three people indicated run off, and come back holding what is best described as a metric fuckton of 9001% proof yeasty... stuff.
[01:03] <Spiritcurse> "Glorious..."
[01:16] <Dorian> {[========*[*[END OF SESSION]*]*========]}

[22:44] <Dorian> After some rather boring discussion, you all decided splitting up and taking a city each was a wise idea. You opted to take on America and it's assets, for whatever reason that seemed like a good idea.
[22:53] <Kite> Aria arrives in the America's out of a portal made by one of the few friends she can. The portal places her in a giant bare field of destroyed buildings. Signs buzz and crackle with wasted electricity as Aria looks around. It can easily be seen that this was once a great city but now it is nothing but a giant pile of rubble.
[22:54] <Kite> Looking up Aria sees the object she was looking for, a large disk in the sky that a crystal city rests upon.
[22:55] <Kite> Looking around there isn't much for Aria to use to get up their since mostly everything is now destroyed.
[23:00] <Dorian> There are, however, several rocky outcrops here and there that could be used as a jump-off point.
[23:03] <Kite> Aria looks around sighing sadly while taking note of any alive things that can be saved around her. Afterwards she runs before jumping on one of the rocks using it to help her reach teh city.
[23:06] <Dorian> Your jump just about makes it, landing you on the outskirts of the city.
[23:08] <Kite> Aria frowns at just makign the jump before making a mental note to practice increasing her jumping skills. With that she takes a quick look around to look around to see if there is anything of note.
[23:17] <Dorian> There isn't much, just a few signs that seem hand painted saying "WARNING! DO NOT ENTER!"
[23:21] <Kite> Aria begins to catiously walk around the city lookign for signs of the core as well as for anything dangerous.
[23:22] <Dorian> All you can see is the marks of either a heated battle or someone going to town on the buildings.
[23:24] <Kite> "Well this is...fustrating. how do I find it... if there's nothing here." Aria says as she continues to look around.
[23:26] <Dorian> You manage to notice a few people fighting off in the distance. Whoever's winning, it looks like they're using some sort of red energy blasts.
[23:27] <Kite> Aria begins to walk towards it to see what's battling and against who.
[23:31] <Dorian> As you get closer, it becomes apparent that the victor is a young woman and the loser is a large number of civillians.
[23:31] <Dorian> The young woman looks like... well, ever seen Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0: You can (not) advance? Mari from that.
[23:31] <Kite> Aria begins looking at the civilians seeing what kind of weapons they had been using against the lady.
[23:32] <Dorian> They are entirely unarmed, save for a single sharpened stick.
[23:32] <Kite> Aria frowns deeply at the scene before heading towards the lady.
[23:36] <Dorian> The woman glances over as she hits the civilians with a burst of explosive red energy. "Who're you?"
[23:38] <Kite> "..." Aria says nothing as she looks at the civilian that was just recently hit.
[23:46] <Dorian> There sort of isn't a civilian left.
[23:46] <Dorian> At all.
[23:46] <Kite> "...May I ask... what that person did to... deserve that?"
[23:47] <Dorian> "Tried to oppose me."
[23:47] <Kite> "...And may I ask... why they would try... to oppose you?"
[23:50] <Dorian> "Because I killed their friends for opposing me. Duh."
[00:12] <Kite> "...Where you the one... that destroyed this city?"
[00:13] <Dorian> "Well, yeah. They tried to revolt against me. I ran this place, you know."
[00:14] <Kite> "...But... why? you didn't have to destroy the whole place." Aria says her voice rising a bit.
[00:17] <Dorian> "Why not? I needed to make an example."
[00:18] <Kite> "By destroying all of the things they hold dear?"
[00:20] <Dorian> "Of course. How else?"
[00:24] <Kite> "..." Aris once again says nothing as she slowly takes deep breathes to keep her anger down.
[00:26] <Dorian> "You seem angry."
[00:27] <Kite> "Yes...I ...am..." Aria says holding her head as she slowly gets her emotions back in control.
[00:36] <Kite> somewhat calmed Aria looks at the girl in front of her. "Before we fight... may I ask your name.."
[00:37] <Dorian> "I'm Ruina. You?"
[00:38] <Kite> "You're Ruina..." Aria says remember something Conjack told her before. She shakes her before looking back at Ruina... even though she could technically see her even while lookign away. "My name... is Aria."
[00:44] <Dorian> "Really? Great! Let's fight!" She smiles and takes a swing with a blade made out of the red energy from before.
[00:49] <Kite> Aria jumps back just in time to not get hit the blade though it makes the barest of contact with her. Aria looks at Ruina that says 'Come and find me' before dashing back into the crystal city.
[01:08] <Dorian> Ruina cracks her neck, "Well, then. Let's play!"
[01:13] <Kite> As Aria enters the city she quickly begins looking for a good place to hide.
[01:15] <Dorian> There are a variety of good places to hide, although not one of them is in any way perfect.
[01:15] <Kite> Aria quickly hides in the first avialable place all the while using her vision to keep a tab on where Runia is.
[01:16] <Dorian> A cry rings out, "Ready or not, here I come!"
[01:16] <Dorian> {[========*[*[END OF SESSION]*]*========]}

-*-


[22:43] <Dorian> After a brief period of deliberation, you all decided that going to different crystal cities would be a good idea. You took the one on Pluto, as this "Dark One" seems too good to pass up.
[22:45] <Dark> [Another fool leaching from my legacy...]
[22:48] <Dark> with a swirl of blackness, the pitch black shape of Conjack appears within the void of space hovering above the City built upon the surface of pluto. His face is nothing more than a black slate as the Darkness protects him from the void and the snakes hiss in joy at the nothing around them.
[22:49] <Dark> Turning towards the city, he begins to desend towards an entrance without a sound
[22:52] <Dark> Landing upon the surface of the small "World", he pauses long enough to gaze around the alien landscape before moving forwad
[22:52] <Dark> [I like it here]
[22:57] <Dorian> You aren't spotted as you enter the city, although the security seems incredibly minimal for a highly protected military installation.
[22:58] <Dark> "Stealth time" I mutter as I sink into the wall as a shadow nad begin to run along the roof, opening my senses to the hearts of the world around me
[23:05] <Dorian> The hearts seem... not there. There are no hearts around you. No people. Nothing alive. Just cold emptiness.
[23:07] <Dark> Keeping my senses open I begin to drift in the general direction of the city core, as always keeping my eye open for anything else of interest as I go
[23:09] <Dorian> The city seems... weird. Dark. Unusual. The entire city is open air, despite literally being on an oversized asteroid.
[23:10] <Dark> [Stay alert Jackie]
[23:11] <Dark> "Like I need you to tell me that" I mutter as my shadow continues to move in the direction the last two cores had been, long claws growing across the 2D fingers
[23:13] <Dark> [I sense somthing host...it feels GGGAAAAAAAAHHH!!!]
[23:14] <Dark> With a snap the heart scans snap shut and the Darkness retreats slightly into Conjack's mind as he pauses with its cry of pain
[23:15] <Dark> Pushing the night deeper into his mind, Conjack moves slower
[23:16] <Dark> "How long have you been so whiny?"
[23:16] <Dark> [Silence host!]
[23:16] <Dark> "Hehehe"
[23:21] <Dark> Maintaining his shadow like shape, Conjack continues moving, albet a lot slower now.
[23:23] <Dorian> The other, benign shadows seem more malevolent. Not sure how or why, but they are.
[23:24] <Dark> "heh. You know if I didnt live in shadows I may have packed this in" Conjack actually chuckles as she drifts on, zig-zagging across the roof
[23:26] <Dark> [Shadows are no threat to...hssss...Darkness] the strained voice echoes
[23:35] <Dorian> The corridors seem to be twisting themselves somehow.
[23:36] <Dark> [Get the feeling someone is trying to scare us Jackie?]
[23:36] <Dark> "Yup"
[23:42] <Dorian> Your sight starts to distort slightly. Apparently even the power of the Darkness doesn't stop you needing to breathe.
[23:45] <Dark> fianally stopping and sighing, Conjack closes his eyes in his 2D shape and falls to the ground with a stomp calling out "Enough of this. I know your out there so come out and speak. Cut all this trying to be intimidating bullcrap"
[23:47] <Dorian> You spot a tall figure at the end of the corridor for a split second before it dissapears aroudn the corner.
[23:48] <Dark> Sighing in irritation, Conjack clicks his finguers and a pair of Heartless form around his feet and move to puruse the figure, Conjack walking slowly behind funnuling a part of his vision though the Heartless to see what they see
[23:50] <Dorian> The Heartless round the corner and dissapear from Conajck's view and control. Not removed, not killed, not even taken control of, just... gone.
[23:51] <Dark> "Ok, least i know what sort of thing you are now" I call out as I continue walking "All about the scaring of the mind and such"
[23:51] <Dark> [Jackie-]
[23:51] <Dark> "Shut it"
[23:57] <Dark> Rounding the courner, Conjack holds his arms out with a raised eyebrow
[23:58] <Dorian> There is nothing there save an impression on the wall of something that might have been.
[23:59] <Dark> "Yup, thought as much" He rolls his eyes before turning "Well "Mr. Dark One" but this "Dark Phoriah" hasnt got time for you childish hide and seek at the moment. If you wish to talk then come and talk and I will listen" With a shrug, Conjack resumes walking towards where the core should be
[00:14] <Dorian> You spot the figure further down the hall, veiled in shadows.
[00:15] <Dark> "Ah there you are" Conjack pauses and nods at the figure "Pleased to meet you I suppose. My name is Conjack Darkright and you would be?"
[00:21] <Dorian> The figure cocks it's head at you and a screaming reverberates throughout your mind.
[00:22] <Dark> "Now thats enough of that" he winces "Only trying to talk to you. And I have enough fecked up things in my mind as it is"
[00:23] <Dorian> You blink and the figure is gone
[00:24] <Dark> Groaning, Conjack rubs his eyes before walking again, talking to the air knowing the figure will be listening
[00:25] <Dark> "Ok, so heres the deal. I know you were sent here to protect this place and for whatever reason you have decided to throw your lot in with Zanton or Destroyer or whatever name hes going by now. Am I right?"
[00:26] <Dark> "Of course I am. Now you see I on the other hand am here to represent the force opposing him, and I'm here to offer you a deal. Now I'm not asking for you to join us and go to fight Zanton, all I'm asking is that you stand aside"
[00:26] <Dorian> A small hole appears in the wall next to you.
[00:27] <Dark> "Now I know what your thinking" He raises an eyebrow at the wall "Why would you do this? Well let me anserw you by pointing to this base" He holds out his arms "What do you see in this base?"
[00:29] <Dorian> Another hole appears in the wall, this one somehow shaped like a tesseract.
[00:31] <Dark> "Well yes, but I'm thinking more about whats within it. Nothing. Nothing put an empty base on the furthest edge of the systerm. And, I think, this is not the sort of place that suits you no matter what Zanton or his circle told you"
[00:39] <Dark> "I mean look at you" He gestures to the shadows and wall "Your a hunter, a preditor who likes to stalk his prey. I've heard stories of your kind...or mabye it was you yourself...hunting in forests and such areas praying on the young humans. Thats what you thrive in...what do you have here? nothing"
[00:43] <Dorian> Everything seems to go quiet.
[00:43] <Dorian> Er.
[00:45] <Dark> "Exactly. No life, no sound nothing but you and the shadows" His voice lowers slightly "Trust me, I know that may sound ideal at the moment but imagine in a few years? Alone with nothing. You like people fearing you, whats there for people to fear from a being left forgotten on Pluto? Zanton has both used you and shooved you out of the way"
[00:56] <Dorian> Nothing happens for some time, then continues to go on not happening.
[00:57] <Dorian> It seems the figure has either left or stopped caring.
[00:58] <Dorian> Billions of years of introspection can still leave you some room to be tricked, apparently.
[00:58] <Dark> Standing in silence I reach back into my mind and call the Darkness back, spreading my mental scan for hearts once more
[00:59] <Dorian> There is nothing, but somehow less nothing than last time.
[01:00] <Dark> Sighing again, Conjack begins to resume his walk towards the core "Now that was rude"
[01:02] <Dark> Clicking his fingers, he sends a swarm of heartless ahead to scan the area whilst he lazely walks on
[01:02] <Dorian> The Heartless quickly find the core, but not much else.
[01:04] <Dark> "Welp, job done then i suppose. Shame really" Conjack fades into a shadow and reappears where the HEartless called. With a couple of swinging tendrals and Heartless claw slashes vital things are cut and the damage is done
[01:16] <Dorian> {[========*[*[END OF SESSION]*]*========]}

-*-


[22:42] <Dorian> After some deliberation, most of which you don't really remember, you all decided to split up and take on a seperate crystal city. You got sent to the one in India, for some unknown reason, but whatever.
[22:56] <Codex> Stepping through my portal and closing it behind me, I find myself on the rooftop of a building looking out over a massive crystaline city. One or two of the buildings in the area are domed in a beautiful and intreaging fasion, however they are over-shadowed by the massive tower right in the middle.
[23:04] <Dorian> Everyone in the city seems subdued and efficious. Far too subdued and efficious. Far too much, in fact, like your Vision. Something is wrong here.
[23:10] <Codex> With a blink, I try to see better using a spell.
[23:11] <Dorian> The city does not change, but you suddenly notice that everyone has some form of firearm on them.
[23:17] <Codex> With another couple of spells, I leak into the air and proceed to fly at a casual speed to the tower, seeing if I can find anything out about the place below.
[23:20] <Dorian> The city seems industrial, mechanised, and militarised beyond belief. You don't recognise the military force, but it seems to be in near-perfect harmony with itself.
[23:22] <Codex> Suspecting a hive-mind or dominance of some sort, I protect myself with a spell to help hide my thoughts and mind from anyone who could detect them.
[23:24] <Codex> I then proceed further towards the tower, keeping an eye out ready.
[23:24] <Dorian> The spell works perfectly, although noone seems to take the blindest notice. This either means you were wrong or it makes no difference whatsoever.
[23:33] <Dorian> The tower seems to be under ABSURD guard from all sorts of different sqadrons, although they are all along the same lines: Civil Protection
[23:47] <Codex> I search around the edge of the tower for a door or an open window.
[23:51] <Dorian> There are a lot of open windows and simmilar, although most seem to be guarded. One seems to be not so heavily guarded as the others.
[00:13] <Codex> I proceed to look into the window and search for a guard.
[00:13] <Dorian> There are no guards in sight, which is really weird all things considered.
[00:22] <Dorian> The room appears to be a small guard break room, which looks totally unused.]
[00:23] <Dorian> There is also a table on the wall which details guard rotas.
[00:23] <Codex> I proceed to enter the room and attempt to detect any nearby life with a spell.
[00:24] <Codex> I approach the rota whilst and begin to read it, wondering what time it is.
[00:25] <Dorian> The rota happens to be right next to a clock (convenient, eh?), and shows that the core room patrol should be changing in about 5 minutes, givng you some time to break in and smash that shit.
[00:32] <Codex> I proceed to attempt to go under the door to get into the rest of the tower, searching for a map or some sort of direction to the core room.
[00:45] <Dorian> You cannot find one, although the layout seems similar to that of the last one of thses you blew up. Also, it turns out that magic can keep memories very well.
[00:46] <Codex> With this revalation, I travel to the core room.
[00:47] <Dorian> As you get there, you can see a few guards defedning the room. Also a man in a very nice suit and a trench coat.
[00:49] <Codex> I try to stick to the cieling in my gaseous form and cast a spell to read the mind of one of the guards.
[00:52] <Dorian> You get a full list of rules and regulations, but no outside interference. This man is not mind controled, just really well trained.
[01:07] <Dorian> The guards appear to be thinking of the Suited Man as a superior of such a degree that he could tell them to kill themselves and they'd happily do so and feel good for obeying orders.
[01:12] <Codex> Still sticking to the ceiling, I attempt to slip through the door, again in a gaseous form.
[01:16] <Dorian> {[========*[*[END OF SESSION]*]*========]}

That was fun read, I kinda like the sessions where we all get split up xD

[21:49] <@Dorian> LAST SESSION-
[21:49] <@Dorian> No
[21:49] <@Dorian> WHAT!?
[21:49] <@Dorian> No. I'm back. Fuck you, Blessed, you're fired, I'm narrating the finale.
[21:49] <@Dorian> BUT YOU WERE FIIIIRRREEEEEEEDDDD!!!!!
[21:51] <@Dorian> And? Doesn't mean I can't take my job back. With a crowbar.
[21:51] <@Dorian> *THUNK*
[21:51] <@Dorian> Now, where were we? Ah, yes...
[21:51] <Dark> [heh heh]
[21:52] <@Dorian> Shut up and get back behind the wall, you.
[21:52] <Dark> [awww]
[21:56] <@Dorian> Last session, everyone went off to take their own crystal city, which seems like a stupid idea to me but hey, I'm just the narrator. Now, as you're all returning to the ship, you can see the protective field over the Artic dissipating.
[22:14] <@Dorian> As you are all stood on the observation deck, Codex appears in a blast of light, looking slightly singed.
[22:14] <Dark> From where Conjack too is emerging from a pool of darkness on the other side of the room, hs gives a cheerful wave and clears his voice "So how did we all do?"
[22:15] <Spiritcurse> "Ah, it's much better to be back together. How did your journeys go?"
[22:15] <Codex> "Hey there." I say with a smile, putting out a hair that is on fire.
[22:15] <Spiritcurse> "Personally, I headbutted the thing out of the sky. You'd be amazed what you can do when you're sufficiently annoyed."
[22:16] <Codex> "I let lose the very essense of fire itself in the control room. It's probably still falling now."
[22:16] <Dark> "I talk a being of wannaby darkness and intimidation into leaving the base to be destroyed" I laugh
[22:17] <Codex> "You talked it into that?"
[22:17] <Codex> "We need to start calling you silver tounge."
[22:17] <Dark> "Yup. It just walked of in the middle of the talk" I chuckle "Rather rude but ya know"
[22:17] <Dark> "And I'm the host of corruption itself. If thers anything I can do its talk"
[22:18] <Codex> I look around the deck, chuckling. "Where is our arachnid friend?"
[22:19] <Dark> "He not here yet?"
[22:20] <Codex> "Apparently not." I pause. "Does Aegis respond to me, or only Hrar and his... subsidaries?"
[22:20] <Spiritcurse> "The ship to anyone authorised, my personal one, only me."
[22:20] <Dark> "Then tell it to get a camera on her will ya"
[22:21] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, camera on our errant friend, if you will."
[22:22] <@Dorian> "Very well. Beginning broadcast. Running temporal up-to-date footage, then switching to real time broadcast." A screen on the wall switches on. The screen is larger than cinema size.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [21:49] <Dorian> Last session, you were facing down Ruina in the ruins of a floating city and I swear to all known deities I did not plan that. But yeah. Boss fight time.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [21:51] <Kite> Aria watches Ruina watchful of anything she does being quite certain that any hit would probably be a kill.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [21:54] <Dorian> Ruina cracks her neck and summons up two red energy swords, whilst coating herself in a simmilar red force field.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:00] <Dorian> As she does so, she jumps forward, swinging both her swords straight at you.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:08] <Dorian> Her blades slice your cover to pieces. The pieces then disintegrate. You get the idea it would be BAD to get hit with those.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:13] <Kite> "That's not... nice." Aria says frowning. She jumps back away from Ruina to get a bit of distance.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:16] <Dorian> Ruina frowns, "You running away now, you little bitch!? Get back here!"
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:17] <Kite> "Well, I don't have fancy magical armor to keep me safe...." Aria says somewhat sulking.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:18] <Dorian> "Then stay still so that I can kill you properly!"
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:18] <Kite> "Um... I like being alive... sorry..." Aria says.
[22:23] <@Dorian> [22:21] <Dorian> "JUST! STAY! STILL!!!!" Ruina shouts, evidently frustrated, as she starts shooting explosive laser beams at Aria.
[22:23] <Dark> "Huh...She got in a fight with that one did she"
[22:24] <Codex> "Does she need assistance do you reckon?"
[22:25] <Spiritcurse> "Possibly, I'm not sure."
[22:25] <Dark> "[We could do that...or we could get popcorn]"
[22:26] <@Dorian> [22:25] <Kite> Aria frowns as she jumps away from the attack not hurt but clothes damaged a bit.
[22:27] <Codex> "I can't tell if she's accomplished her mission or not. I'm assuming no at the moment."
[22:28] <Spiritcurse> "I doubt it."
[22:28] <Dark> "Indeed...to busy playing cat and mouse..."
[22:28] <Dark> "Should I send some Heartless to make the most of the destraction?"
[22:28] <Spiritcurse> "Might be worth doing."
[22:29] <Dark> I click my fingures and 20 arachnid like Heartless apear around the bridge "Give the word"
[22:29] <Dark> "And I can send more if you wish"
[22:29] <@Dorian> [22:28] <Kite> Aria looks at Ruina before aiming to the side of Ruina and shooting, testing her armor and to see what she will do.
[22:29] <Codex> "I think she just needs a distraction to either get away or get a good hit in.
[22:30] <Dark> "I can do both?"
[22:30] <Codex> "Well then, do they need a portal?"
[22:30] <Dark> "Not really. Hrar, can you zoom a part of the screen on a shadow for me?"
[22:32] <@Dorian> [22:32] <Dorian> The shot slams into Ruina and flat out ignores her armor, ripping through her side. However, it overpenetrates, going straigh out of the other side of her and hitting the building behind her, coating it in highly toxic gunge.
[22:32] <Dark> "Meh, the rubble of that should do"
[22:33] <@Dorian> [22:33] <Dorian> Ruina screams in pain and collapses, still concious but immobile with blood loss and agony.
[22:33] <Codex> "Oh, hang on. She may not need us after all."
[22:33] <Spiritcurse> "Excellent!"
[22:33] <Dark> "Impressive" I grin, ignoring a dissapointed look on the Darkness
[22:34] <Codex> "I didn't realise she could do stuff like that." I nod in agreement.
[22:35] <Spiritcurse> "She's got some power in her."
[22:35] <Dark> I smiply chuckle as I dismiss the Heartless with the exception of one whome I send to get me some tea
[22:45] <@Dorian> [22:37] <Kite> "I'm... sorry..." Aria says out of obligation before silk begins to form out the tips of her fingers this one none poisonous. She takes it and first wrappes up Ruina's arms and legs before wrapping up the wound she inflicted to her.
[22:45] <@Dorian> [22:43] <Dorian> Ruina looks up at Aria, tears of agony and rage in her eyes. "Fuck you, you goddamned spider whore!"
[22:45] <@Dorian> [22:44] <Kite> Aria frowns before binding up Ruina's mouth as well.
[22:46] <Dark> the mouth of the snake beside me twitches "[This should prove interesting now]"
[22:46] <Spiritcurse> "Well, seems she's got a bit of my spirit in her..."
[22:48] <Codex> "I think I know where this is going. I'm not sure if I'm okay with it."
[22:49] <Codex> "Oh, wait, that's not a right of passage here is it? Never mind then."
[22:49] <@Dorian> [22:49] <Dorian> Aria notices a thin red line down the side of the bondings. Ruina smiles as she brings her arms up, slicing the bondings with her energy blades and swinging them at Aria.
[22:50] <Dark> "Ah...bugger"
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> "Oh dear."
[22:50] <Codex> "Let's get in there then."
[22:51] <Dark> "Heartless in bound"
[22:51] <@Dorian> [22:50] <Kite> Aria moves out of the way frowning as her webbing is destroyed. "If you keep moving... you might hurt yourself more..."
[22:51] <Dark> I click my finguers and dispatch a bunch of Heartless with the orders to surround Runia but await Aria's orders
[22:51] <Codex> I raise an arm, the air between my palm and the floor shimmering. "Get ready."
[22:53] <@Dorian> [22:52] <Dorian> Ruina winces as her bandages start to leak blood and jumps to the skies, spreading ethereal wings.
[22:53] <@Dorian> [22:53] <Dorian> Several Heartless appear aound where Ruina just was. Seeing this, Ruina bolts, moving a lot faster than she had done previously.
[22:53] <Dark> "[Puruse her!]" THe darkness howls and the Heartlesss, somehow hearing do so
[22:54] <Spiritcurse> I click my fingers, and several armoured girls with assault rifles see to appear from nowhere and dash through the portal.
[22:55] <Dark> With another wave of the Darkness, dozens of flying warriors also appear and join in the chaise
[22:55] <Codex> I wave them in, shouting all the while: "Go, go, go!" I turn to Hrar. "Go!"
[22:57] <Spiritcurse> "I'm in." I leap through, activating my jetpack and screaming the demonic rune for "go faster".
[22:58] <Dark> Becoming nothing more than a missile of black smoke, Conjack pours forth and joins with his Heartless in the pursuit
[22:58] <Dark> [Do NOT let her escape!]
[22:59] <@Dorian> [22:58] <Kite> "Stop running... you'll kill your self.."
[22:59] <Codex> I pull my hand over my head and step through, effectively ending the portal.
[23:00] <Kite> Aria sighs before she begins to move towards Ruina with a sigh.
[23:01] <@Dorian> Ruina turns back to see all of the various different forms of death and deastruction chasing her. Terrified beyond belief, she kicks her flight into overdrive, accellerating rather too rapidly for a human to take.
[23:04] <Dark> "[Surrender Ruina!]" The sound of the Darkness roars
[23:04] <@Dorian> "Fuck that!"
[23:04] <Dark> There is only a chours of laugther in reply to her
[23:04] <Codex> I take off after her in an attempt to get close, casting a force shield over myself to stop any resistance damage.
[23:08] <Dark> "[ACCEPT YOUR FATE!!]" The darkness bellows in an authoritve tone
[23:12] <@Dorian> The tones go straight to Ruina's cerebral cortex, forcing her to slow right down.
[23:14] <@Dorian> Out of the corner of your eye, you see two figures jump into the air and shoot towards Ruina. They grab her and flat out vanish with their speed. Ruina is gone with them.
[23:15] <Dark> "[NOOO!]"
[23:15] <Codex> "Suits!"
[23:17] <Codex> I sigh, and turn to look for Aria.
[23:18] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, track them. If they're not near a friendly populated city, genius bomb them."
[23:18] <@Dorian> "Unable to comply."
[23:18] <Kite> As the people take her away, Aria groans.
[23:18] <Dark> "[Hunt for her!] the snakes snarl at the Assassin Heartless "[Search every inch of this light damned world!]"
[23:19] <Spiritcurse> "You are a mega computer the size of a small planet. Why not?"
[23:19] <Dark> As the first snake shows its rage, the second slowly turns to look at Eria, eyes glowing
[23:19] <@Dorian> "Because space-time says no."
[23:20] <Spiritcurse> "Well, get the university magi and engineers to track them then."
[23:21] <Codex> "Who was that, Aria? Why were we calling for her to surrender?"
[23:21] <@Dorian> "We have been doing. The Assassain class Heartless are doing it better. There's a few square miles where we know she is."
[23:21] <Dark> "[Hunt]" The snake growls at the air, seeming to have its attention utterly focused upon the guideing the Heartless
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> "Some bloody great demons did better than an entire planet of mages? If there was any concievable way to punish you..."
[23:23] <Dark> "[Yesss....]"
[23:23] <Dark> With a blink, the snakes eyes flash back into reality and look up with a cruel grin
[23:24] <Dark> "[The artic Circle. They took her there...but with Spartial Divisions...]"
[23:25] <Codex> "Divisions... as in... she's in several places at once?"
[23:26] <Dark> The snake snaps at the air "[Her stench fills time and space!]"
[23:27] <Codex> "So several when's at once as well. Amazing." I pause. "Who is she?"
[23:27] <Dark> "[Only to be found when wanted...beyond my reach!] In rage, a tendral strikes out and cleanly decapitates a Warrior Heartless
[23:27] <Spiritcurse> "Metaphorically or physically?"
[23:28] <Dark> "[both]"
[23:28] <Spiritcurse> "So, another universe, in a place of utter purity?"
[23:29] <Dark> "[No...in a place that can only be accessed by the permission]" the snakes eye glow "[A pocket dimension with a lock on the inside]"
[23:29] <Spiritcurse> "Can we not plane shift? A mere lock has never stopped us."
[23:30] <Dark> "[My minions can not breach deeper...I can not tell]"
[23:34] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, get the hackers on this? It can't sustain a defence for long."
[23:37] <@Dorian> "Sir, if you take out this city's power generator, the feild should fall. However, I advise against an orbital strike."
[23:37] <Dark> "[Unleash my warriors. Destroy it now]"
[23:37] <Spiritcurse> "Yes, but I haven't got to use one yet. Load the cannons!"
[23:37] <Codex> "Perhaps that's for the best, friend."
[23:38] <Codex> "Don't worry though, we have more to do yet." I look around. "Seriously though, does nobody know who they were?"
[23:39] <Dark> "Warriors loyal to Ruina" Cojack finaly speaks up "Their hearts were very loyal to her"
[23:39] <@Dorian> "Sir, if an orbital strike is used, there is a distinct probability that the targets will be empowered to a point that combat would eb a distinct impossibility."
[23:39] <Codex> "Ruina, now we're getting somewhere. Who is that?"
[23:40] <Codex> "Also, they absorb our strikes?"
[23:41] <Codex> I blink up to Hrar's shoulder. "This is getting pretty rough."
[23:41] <Spiritcurse> "True."
[23:41] <Dark> "OH you dont know do you. She was the daughter of Domino and a member of the circle"
[23:45] <Codex> "Ahh, right. I see. Problematic."
[23:45] <Dark> "[She escaped! They know about all of us now! Time runs short!]"
[23:49] <Kite> "Didn't they already know about us?... well at least... you three."
[23:50] <Dark> "[And now they know of you two]" The snake snaps back
[23:51] <Kite> "How important can that be...?"
[23:55] <Dark> The snake simply stairs
[23:56] <Kite> "I mean... they already knew we were coming..."
[23:57] <Dark> "Did she saying to you that could be of help to us?" Conjack calls over, ending the Darkness' talk
[23:58] <Kite> "No... she just generally told me to stop running."
[23:59] <Dark> "Hmmm...was hoping for her to have let somthing slip" I mutter
[23:59] <Kite> "...Sorry..."
[00:00] <Dark> Looking up, Conjack gives a smile and nods "You did well"
[00:00] <Kite> "No... I failed... Ruina escaped..."
[00:01] <Dark> "Aye, but she was bloodied and scared. And the base is ours to destroy. Thats a mission accomplised in my books"
[00:01] <Spiritcurse> "Next time, if you absolutely must go non-lethal, break a couple of limbs."
[00:01] <Kite> "No.......that's is a failure..... you either complete it all or you might as well have done nothing..."
[00:02] <Dark> "And you want go far thinking like that" Conjack gives her a pat on the back "Take it from someone who has experiance in that regard, you did well today"
[00:04] <Codex> "It could always have been worse." I remark. "Trust me. Litterally. There's a universe where she killed you somewhere out there."
[00:05] <Kite> Aria simply nods at all of your words, though it's easy to see she doesn't really take them to heart.
[00:11] <Codex> Okay, let's go finish the job and think of a plan while we do so.
[00:11] <Dark> "Let Aria do the damage to that base" I say "She has a mission to complete"
[00:12] <Spiritcurse> "Agreed, let's go."
[00:12] <Kite> "It's okay, you guys can do it... I'd take forever anyways..."
[00:14] <Dark> "Nope. Matter of princable"
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> "Even so, you do it. We've got a kill to finish."
[00:19] <Kite> Aria sighes before going to the machine. She aims quickly at it before shooting right into it.
[00:21] <Dark> "And there we go" Conjack almost seems to beam
[00:21] <@Dorian> The machine breaks rather efficiently, and the city, evidently heavily damaged from Ruina shashing shit at random on it, starts to fall slowly
[00:22] <Codex> "Nice."
[00:23] <Codex> "Does anybody have a plan?"
[00:27] <Spiritcurse> "Teleport in, raise hell, teleport out?"
[00:29] <Codex> "Will that even work?"
[00:29] <Spiritcurse> "Has done so far, aye?"
[00:29] <Dark> "[He will be there you know]" A snake hisses "[The Destroyer]"
[00:29] <Spiritcurse> "Wait."
[00:30] <Spiritcurse> "We know her name, and have a ton of mages on board, under you. We freeze time while you research a custom summon spell, bring her to us, and smash."
[00:31] <Codex> "You know what? I think the universe would get very angry at that..."
[00:31] <Codex> "Let's do it."
[00:31] <Spiritcurse> "Exactly. Aegis, give this wizard all the research things he likes, a time stop, and several concubines."
[00:33] <Codex> "I don't think I could eat a whole one. Anyway, let's see if this lock prevents summoning. If it does, there's not much we can besides go there in person."
[00:34] <@Dorian> "Of course, sir."
[00:34] <Spiritcurse> "You'll have as long as you need to research, and won't need food nor sleep."
[00:40] <Codex> "The only way I see that working is a massive counterspell at the same time. Who's to say they won't just counterspell that?" I sigh, "Messing space is easy. Space is thickle, easily and sometimes willingly tricked. Time is a completely different mistress. She won't take the kind of punishment you give to space."
[00:41] <Spiritcurse> "Could you not simply rotate the spell by ninety degrees?"
[00:41] <Codex> "I-"
[00:41] <Codex> "I don't think I understand."
[00:43] <Spiritcurse> "Well, if it's just another dimension, rotate through it after casting normally."
[00:46] <Codex> "Let me get this straight a moment," I begin, putting an elbow on Hrar's head. "You want me to teleport you in... sideways. To break the effects of a teleportation blocking spell."
[00:47] <Spiritcurse> "Talk to Aegis, I'm just saying what she's saying. She'll explain it better than me."
[00:50] <Dark> "[Not saying much]"
[00:51] <Spiritcurse> "Now now, be friendly while you're aboard my ship."
[00:51] <Dark> "[Humph]"
[00:52] <Codex> "The reason I'm so abrasive against trying this is the fact that teleports are actually fairly easy to cancel. And therefore cause damage to the person teleporting, or worse, toss them into the twisting nether. A more ideal alternative would be to teleport nearby and then run in at the speed of... well, however fast you can run."
[00:52] <Codex> "They can't cancel that. Except maybe with a force-wall, but I can get rid of them."
[00:53] <Spiritcurse> "That works for me."
[00:54] <Codex> "Then let's get on, but first, rally everything you can. No messing around, we need to get this done fast and efficient."
[00:55] <Codex> "Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a teleport, or at least, some sort of ideal nearby place?"
[00:56] <Dark> "My heartless detected its start during their hunt"
[00:57] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, round up my mantles and any fangirls not currently too busy."
[00:58] <Codex> "This is it, isn't it? The Destroyer should be there."
[00:59] <Dark> "The final one..." Conjack seems to stair into space "The one who destroyed my home..."
[01:00] <Spiritcurse> "In all fairness, Conjack, you destroyed my home. But I've still reason to hate Zanton."
[01:00] <Spiritcurse> "Well, your people."
[01:01] <Dark> "Only a small portion of my people Hrar. I was there when your home burned and I fought to protect it"
[01:01] <Dark> "I say a small portion and I mean 1 Darkling"
[01:02] <Spiritcurse> "Well done. You managed to destroy a village of mundane humans, only two of which had magical power. You must truly have been a powerful race."
[01:03] <Codex> "Not right now please, gentlemen. You can compare how big your hammers are later. Focus your efforts on the destroyer."
[01:03] <Dark> Turning to face him I frown with eyes that flash yellow "I'm sorry? I just said i fought to protect you home!"
[01:03] <Dark> "[As he did his own...hahaha. And he failed each time]"
[01:04] <Spiritcurse> "Agreed, we'll solve this after my timeport."
[01:05] <Dark> Conjack's eyes continue glowing but he turns away without a word
[01:10] <Kite> Aria sighes at how the two of you act but says nothing.
[01:15] <Dark> [Almost feels like fate dosent it Jackie...] the darkness echos in Conjacks mind [After all we have been through...we are back here fighitng the one that destroyed your kind...and surounded by people you dont know you can trust]
[01:16] <Dark> "Shut up..."
[01:20] <Codex> "Don't let that thing distract you from here until the destroyer is gone. Or it'll have to answer to me." I smile at the nearest snake for the last bit.
[01:20] <Dark> Conjack gives a slight smile and the snake shoots you a look, clearly having not forgotten what you did to the crystal

[21:48] <Dorian> Last session, as you looked down on the guards from your hidden point all over the room (goddamn air form plus invisibility), you were just reading the guards' minds. You'd just got through the door to the generator room.
[21:50] <Codex> Ahh, the generator room. What here looks important enough to deem an iceicle through it?
[21:51] <Dorian> Most things, to be honest
[21:51] <Dorian> Everything looks spindly, important, and technomagical.
[21:53] <Codex> I breath in, but as I breath out, BOOM, Iceicles.
[21:57] <Dorian> The icicles spead out and shatter some rather important looking magical conduits. As this happens, the entire generator room starts to lose power.
[21:58] <Dorian> The guards run in, and promptly start panicking over what they should do as to whether or not they should try and fix it.
[22:00] <Codex> I give a wave to guards, causing essential fire to flood the room.
[22:02] <Dorian> The fire created feeds off the unused magical power from the generator, and swiftly consumes a good ALL of the room. The guards go up with this, and fall to the ground screaming in agony.
[22:07] <Codex> With another wave, I teleport out of the fire-filled room, back to the moon base.

[01:44] <Kite> "Hello..." Aria says knocking on the fourth wall. "Did.. they forget us?"
[01:48] <@Dorian> Oh, for the love of... get gone, dear, we're done here.
[01:48] <Kite> "T_T"

It is all coming to an end...

[22:06] <@Dorian> Last session, you tried to fight Ruina in her floating city, which went about as well as could be expected for all parties involved. This session, you have just met up with the Harbinger and Iocus, and are preparing to pass through the now fading spatial barrier around the Artic
[22:06] <@Dorian> A large cathederal, situated directly under the nearly eclipsing sun, can be seen in the distance.
[22:08] <Spiritcurse> "Right, have we a plan?"
[22:09] <Dark> Standing in utter silence, Conjack seems to be in deep thought as a pair of snakes hover before him whispering to him in their dark language
[22:09] <kite> "I generally... leave that to you guys..." Aria says.
[22:10] <Dark> "[Hrar Smash]" A snake beside Hrar sneers "[thats how it usually goes right?]"
[22:11] <@Dorian> "It is." Iocus agrees. "We only have to travel a good three hundred miles to get there."
[22:12] <Spiritcurse> "Prepare the teleport."
[22:14] <Codex> Codex nods. "Right away, you two have your... friends ready?"
[22:21] <Codex> "I'll take that as a yes," Codex says in a pissy tone, raising his arms to cast a portal.
[22:22] <Dark> [It is time Jackie...time for the end]
[22:24] <Spiritcurse> "Porting just us? I'll have the others summon some."
[22:26] <Codex> "The portal is ready." Codex replies dimly, a glass pane swirling into existance before them.
[22:27] <@Dorian> Iocus nods, "This might work."
[22:27] <Dark> "That will take us there?" Conjack asks his eyes narrow
[22:27] <Dark> [to oblivion...]
[22:28] <Codex> "It'll take us a few miles off, so we can charge in from a short distance away. We can't just portal in, if we fail, they could just appear up here and bring this place down."
[22:30] <Codex> "Prepare yourselves, we're a while off and we should use any summons and things now before we get there.
[22:31] <Spiritcurse> "Fangirls, approach. Darren, call in any favours you're owed at the company. Erika, more demons. Relino, illusory demons."
[22:31] <Dark> Nodding, Conjack walks away a few paces before holding out his hand. A black mist falls from his palm onto the ground and swirles before him like water pouring from a tap. The mist spreads further and further away until it is like an ocean of blackness before him
[22:32] <Dark> Then, with the click of his fingures, the ocean stirls of from the nothingness rises a legion of Heartless, thousands of black creatures of all shapes and sizes rising o click and howl at the air. In their centre, the monster born from Codex's power dusing with Heartless
[22:34] <Dark> "[behold]" A snake seems to pure as the legion rises "[Behold the Heartless race lay bare before you]"
[22:36] <Codex> Summoning a demon directly below himself, Codex rides the shoulder up into the air, surveying the wave that Conjack has just risen. "Impressive."
[22:36] <Dark> "I take no satisfaction in it" Conjack mutters "There has not been a gathering of Heartless on this scale since Heartless plauge that finished off my world"
[22:37] <Codex> "At least they're on your side now."
[22:38] <Dark> "Hmmm" Conjack looks back at them with a look of almost disgust before turning "They will do their job"
[22:38] <Dark> "Give them a target and everyone of them will die before they fail in carrying it out"
[22:39] <Codex> "Hrar, bring me your 10-20 finest fan-girls. Preferabely mages."
[22:39] <Spiritcurse> "Please, friend. This is not the time, concentrate on the battle."
[22:39] <@Dorian> Iocus rolls his eyes
[22:39] <Codex> Codex giggles. "No, a legit purpose this time, I swear."
[22:39] <Dark> With a gesture, a dozen Arachnd shaped heartless advance upon Aria and bow before her clicking
[22:40] <Spiritcurse> "Okay. But just so you know, that poor girl still can't sit down without wincing." I clap twice, and am surrounded by 20 mages in skimpy flowing robes, armed with MP40s. Somehow.
[22:40] <kite> "Um..." Aria says a bit confused at there random apperance or why they're there.
[22:41] <Dark> A flash of amusment and Conjack simply says "You may take them as guards as you want. They are at your command. If anyone else wishes us of Heartless units, speak now"
[22:43] <kite> Aria nods before looking over the heartless.
[22:49] <Codex> Codex takes the girls aside and engages in conversation with them, tapping them on the head once each to pass on knowledge of a spell.
[22:52] <Codex> Codex returns to the party. "We should move on before we lose any element of suprise we may have."
[22:53] <Spiritcurse> "Agreed. I'm ready as ever."
[22:55] <@Dorian> "Are we going then?"
[22:55] <Dark> The snakes smile as Conjack steps up and the Heartless unleash a hail of clicking "I do not expect to survive this...but if this is to be the final conflict of the Darkling race, then I will fall fighting to the last" With a flick of his wrist a long sword bathed in a shadowy mist appears in both hands
[22:56] <kite> "I'm ready when you guys are..."
[22:57] <Spiritcurse> "Let's roll."
[23:00] <Codex> Casting spells to his fraction his own concept, Codex sits atop the demon, standing behind Hrar, getting ready for the advance.
[23:01] <Dark> Rising in the air upon black wings Conjack looks down upon the legion of Heartless and, giving a roar of a word in Darkling which echos through the mouths of a hundred snakes, the legion of the Darkness swarms forth
[23:06] <@Dorian> The cathedral can be seen in the distance, some one hundred miles off. It's obviously fucking massive. However, you're moving pretty fucking fast, so it'll only take you a few minutes at most.
[23:06] <Spiritcurse> "Boost me, Codex!" I bellow to my passenger, devoting more power to engines.
[23:08] <@Dorian> The swarms of Effervo can be seen as you get really close, outnumbering the start by several orders of magnitude. Fucking cannon fodder. However, the obviously new giant insectoid death machines are probably going to be somewhat of an issue.
[23:10] <Codex> With a wave, Codex changes the fuel into something more... pure.
[23:11] <Dark> At the forward of the Heartless legion, Giant Scorpian like shapes begin to leak black mist from their claws
[23:13] <Spiritcurse> Passing over the hordes, I decide to try some power words. Namely, "INCANDECI, INCANDECI, INCANDECI..."
[23:16] <@Dorian> The world behind you dissapears into fire. Because fuck the artic
[23:16] <Dark> With a loud set of clicking as the Scorpix class Heartless each hurl out Explosive darkballs, a sea of flying into the air
[23:23] <Codex> Wive a wave, Codex creates a barrier to stop the fire that is the result of the super-sonic bombardment that is Hrar's attack from hitting the army we've collectively summoned.
[23:27] <kite> "He's going fast..."
[23:27] <@Dorian> As you get to about a half-mile out, the helicopters start to fire missiles at the cathedral. They don't make it. A wall of force springs up, stopping the missiles in their tracks.
[23:27] <@Dorian> Explosively.
[23:28] <Codex> "Ah. I don't like that."
[23:29] <Dark> With a wave Conjack orders his Heartless to fire their black orbs upon the sheild, all upon the exact same spot to see how resiliant it is
[23:34] <Codex> Codex raises his hands into a casting position, obviously with a prepared spell
[23:35] <@Dorian> The majority of the dark blasts hit, rippling the sheild and making it visible, if only breifly.
[23:37] <Codex> Attempted to deny any magic to the shield, Codex lets lose his spell, unfortunately to no effect.
[23:37] <Codex> "Hrar, contact the mages and the hackers left on the base. Bring down that shield. Preferabely without killing us in the process.
[23:38] <Spiritcurse> "Consider it done. The hackers should be working in a time field, so it won't take long."
[23:40] <kite> Aria looks towards the shield before trying her lcuk at getting through it with her ability.
[23:40] <@Dorian> The bullet impacts but does next to nothing. This is obviously a powerful barrier.
[23:44] <kite> "Hm... that's depressing..." Aria says sulking a bit.
[23:52] <Codex> "I guess I could give this a try." I climb the top of my demon and Let loose a beam of red and blue light towards the shield, in an attempt to disable it.
[23:52] <@Dorian> The sheild tries to sustain the powerful anti-magic beam and fails, meling into nothing.
[23:53] <Dark> With a chours of clicking, Conjack directs the Heartless to charage again at full power, the Scorpiox again charging their Dark orbs
[23:55] <Spiritcurse> "Right, hackers, you're no longer needed. Aegis, fire."
[23:59] <@Dorian> You all notice several figures stood in front of the cathedral. Eight figures, to be precise. Octagonal Circle
[00:00] <Dark> Conjack's eyes narrow and the sound of the Darkness laughing echos across every single heartless like a chours of voices
[00:07] <Codex> After a series of short spells, a massive ball of Air, Fuel, Fire and other sorts of energy are being held above Codex's head. Another spell later and the bomb can conduct energy.
[00:12] <Codex> With another spell to make his sight keener, Codex throws the bomb forwards at the army ahead, hoping that not too much has been thrown in.
[00:14] <Spiritcurse> I bellow my vocabulary of power words into the spell, focusing on destroying hostiles.
[00:17] <@Dorian> A flash of light shoots out of the top of the cathedral, absorbing the spell bomb in it's entirity.
[00:17] <Codex> "That is not good in anyway."
[00:18] <Dark> With a hail of clicking, the Heartless artillary speaks again
[00:36] <Codex> A spell later and the counter-spell that stopped the bomb has a counter-spell of it's own.
[00:37] <Codex> Which is in turn, counter-spelled. This goes on for a while with the eventual result of no spells being cast.
[00:50] <Codex> Codex telekinetically death-touches one of the members of the circle, feeling the life drip out of them and being pleased to discover that that combination works.
[00:55] <@Dorian> Sandalphon falls over, as dead as when Hrar rammed him.
[00:59] <Spiritcurse> I collide with the circle at an obscene speed, causing a large explosion of dust of ash, containing a pissed off god and a smug wizard.
[01:01] <@Dorian> Most of the circle seem unfazed by this, through whatever means, be it teleporting to the same place, phasing out, activating a forcefield, dodging every mobile atom in the shockwave, or simply not giving a fuck.
[01:03] <Dark> using the smoke as cover Conjack leads the Heartless waves into the fray, some attacking random members of the circle whilst most converge upon Domino as COnjack's eyes glow yellow
[01:29] <Dark> Revleaing his inner rage, Conjack swarms Domino in a sea of bodies as the Heartless tare at him and the Darkness swings out with tendral, tooth and blade. Words of Darkling echo out across the area in its voice as the Heartless Warriors swarm around their masters pray
[01:31] <@Dorian> Domino phases through the majority of Conjacks attacks, though one clips him rather badly on the shoulder. He then proceeds to turn into air in order to avoid the rest of the attacks.
[01:44] <Dark> As the Scorpiox Heartless fire to little effect upon Runia, the Assassin class, under Aria's orders, lunge out too
[01:55] <kite> Aria tries to take aim at Ruina but for some reason that she's never faced before... it explodes before it leaves her hands.
[01:55] <Codex> In quick reposte, Codex rips a silvery light from Hrar, flinging it across to Aria.
[01:57] <kite> "That's...new..." Aria says quite surprised.
[02:03] <Codex> With Aria's life assured, Codex turns and seems to direct a push at Domino in the circle, with a purple light streaming forth, in an attempt to whisk him away.
[02:05] <@Dorian> Domino cries out as his very being is shunted several billion dimensions to the left and counter-clockwise of the future.
[02:07] <Dark> "[NNNOOOOOOOO!!!]" The Darkness roars
[02:08] <Dark> With a loud clikcing noise...the Heartless all turn to look at Codex
[02:08] <Dark> "[Insolent little insect!]"
[02:09] <Codex> Seeing the response of the Heartless, Codex covers himself in an Utterdome.
[02:09] <Spiritcurse> "Aegis, antimatter strike on my location."
[02:10] <Dark> In a flash of black mist Conjack appears before Codex's sheild, eyes glowling sickly yellow "[What have you done? he was OUR pray!]"
[02:11] <Codex> "He just took Hrar's most powerful hit and was only hit once by yourself and most of your army, I didn't realise you had a claim on anybody. There's a far more important task at hand here, 6 of them still stand."
[02:13] <@Dorian> Aegis chimes in, "Strike ready, sir, but I would advise delays. There is a distinct possibility that some of your allies may be caught in the blast."
[02:14] <Dark> Loud hisses erupt as the snake's eyes glow. Behind him the heartless take flight again and a roar of inhuman hate echoes "[We will destroy the rest...then we will take our revenge for this insult]"
[02:15] <Codex> "I've insulted you by getting rid of a threat against the multi-verse itself. Logical."
[02:16] <Dark> Somthing cruel flashes over the snakes eyes as it sneers before it vanishes into black smoke
[02:28] <Codex> A flurry of spells are aimed at the Slenderman in the ring, First an attempted death touch, then a bolt of lightning, which unfortuantely both fall short of target or are resisted.
[02:28] <Codex> Finally, the utterdome is replenished with a wave of a hand.
[02:29] <@Dorian> Slenderman screams and begins pounding on the dome with the force of a thousand suns. It does shit all.
[02:31] <@Dorian> Ruina collpases next to Sandalphon, and begins to cry heavily. Her sobs can be heard for several miles due to the echoing of them.
[02:31] <Dark> "[Yessss....pain of war]"
[02:32] <kite> Aria frowns at Ruina's crying but says nothing.
[02:32] <@Dorian> Mr. 3 decides this fight of gods is too much for him, and absconds off into the distance like a little pussy.
[02:32] <Dark> From within the mass of Darkness, Conjack's face is blank and expressionless save for sorrow tinted eyes that burn with yellow hellfire
[02:33] <@Dorian> Effervo, noticing Conjack's sorrow, takes an opportunity swing at him.
[02:38] <Dark> "[HA!]" The Darkness laughs as it sees the attack, the snakes sneering to watch Effervo in Conjacks place as his body explodes into a black mist "[You can not catch the Darkness by surprise so easily]"
[02:47] <@Dorian> As this happens, you all notice a strange flash in the sky. It's Aperiant, being punted out of a time hole by a past Hrar.
[02:48] <@Dorian> He turns in mid-air and swings for the nearest enemy, which happens to be Conjack
[02:52] <@Dorian> His attacks miss rather spectacularly, as is to be expected from someone being thrown out of a time portal.
[02:53] <Dark> "[I know you...]" the snake hisses as it watches the missed attack "[Little one...]"
[02:54] <@Dorian> The final, unknown member of the circle, who, spoilers alert, is M. Bison, turns to attack Hrar, like a sensible person.
[02:55] <@Dorian> His attacks are... ineffectual.
[03:01] <Spiritcurse> I reply in kind with a loud bellow of light, using the time to smash Bison to a thin red mist. He has time to widen his eyes in shock.
[03:02] <Spiritcurse> The word causes a blazing corona of light to surround each and every party member and respective minions, burning away at the forces of evil and darkness.
[03:28] <Dark> As the Heartless erupt into oblivion at the attack the Darkness looks up and its snake like eyes flash open in an emotion that has never been seen on it before-terror
[03:29] <Dark> "[NOOOOOOO!!]" The light strikes it head on "[I CAN NOT DIE!! I AM ETERNAL!! I AM THE DARKNEEEEEEEEEE------]" In the light of its own destruction, the shape of the snake can be seen shattering and disintegrating

Soooo...question. What exactly is the state of the battle now? Did Spirit just nuke me or did that kill others too?

Nuked everything that was hostile to me or any of my close friends. This includes the octagonal circle, unless they resisted, all of their minions, and unfortunately, you and yours. Any friendly troops are in an aura of light that burns hostiles and heals them.

thought as much...

Oh yes - when I attack, I try to attack everything if possible. Had to make a choice - fire would kill all of our soldiers as well, light would only kill some.

[21:10] <@Dorian> Last session, after thoroughly screwing over the DM and his plans for a series of sub-bosses with a Power Word: Light... well, that's more or less it, really. Also, you're attacking Zanton's main fortress, because you can. You know, like real men. Except one of you is a woman.
[21:13] <@Dorian> The dust and light clears around you, revealing one intact huge-ass citadel/cathedral thing, you four, a bunch of black dust, and the eight unconcoius corpses of Octagonal Circle
[21:19] <Spiritcurse> Noticing the unconcious bodies, I draw a few items from my armour. Namely, a monomolecular axe, a hammer and several nails. I then approach the closest unconcious body, axe in hand.
[21:20] <Kite> "What are you about... to do?"
[21:20] <Codex> "I thought you were joking about all of that."
[21:20] <Dark> I'm lying face down in the ground, minour traces of darkness fading away from my motionless body
[21:21] <Spiritcurse> "I'm nailing their skulls to my codpiece in order to gain their power. Of course. Sandalphon, your turn."
[21:22] <Kite> Aria turns away from what Hrar is doing to leave him to his business while going to check on Conjack.
[21:23] <Dark> I groan heavily as I raise my head, throwing up on the ground as I curse in a stream of Darkling
[21:27] <Codex> With the wave of a hand, Codex attempts to remove any sickness and pain for Conjack, then jumping back under a shield.
[21:28] <Dark> Slowly, as the pain starts to receed, my eyes flicker open in a stream of glowing blue light, muttering of Darkling continuing to echo out as i look up
[21:28] <Dark> "What...the...fuck...was...that?"
[21:29] <Codex> "I take it that was bright. And loud."
[21:30] <Dark> I simply groan as I close my ideas again, the glowing fading into nothingness as I slump in a darkling curse that ends with "sunslave"
[21:30] <Spiritcurse> With Sandalphon's head now forever affixed to my orichalcum crotch, thankfully remembering to decapitate him first, I walk towards Ruina.
[21:31] <Codex> With another wave of a hand, a cloud forms a short distance above Conjack, protecting him from any sunlight or light from above.
[21:32] <Kite> Aria sighs as she takes a seat on the ground.
[21:32] <Dark> As my body is wrapped in shadow i again groan, traces of the darker light beginning to liquify and drift into my flesh. After what feels like an age, I finally sit up and, after throwing up again, slup forwards "Again...what was that?"
[21:33] <Spiritcurse> "I made an executive decision." Now stood next to Ruina, I raise my axe high.
[21:33] <Codex> "Are you certain you want to do that?"
[21:34] <Dark> I slowly stand and wobble around, a look of pain on my face "I feel...empty...I..." I break back into Darkling
[21:34] <Spiritcurse> "Yep. As is written in the Book of Dire Rituals, nailing the skull of an enemy to your nether regions grants you power."
[21:38] <Codex> "Think about it for a moment."
[21:39] <Spiritcurse> "I've thought about this moment for a long time." I point to my codpiece, indicating a small dinosaur skull. "My first, which granted me the power of strength." I then aim the axe at Ruina's neck, ready to sever her head.
[21:41] <Kite> "But why... is strength that important... to disgrace another's body?" Aria asks curiously.
[21:41] <Dark> struggling to walk, I cast a cruel look towards Hrar before making my way towards where Domino lies a chours of Darkling echoing from me in a stream that would have made anyone blush were tehy able to uderstand
[21:41] <Spiritcurse> "Yes, yes it is." THUNK. The head rolls from the body before swiftly being placed between Thor's and Sandalphon's.
[21:43] <Codex> Codex flinches slightly as the axe comes down. "So be it."
[21:44] <Spiritcurse> I walk to Effervo and frown. "This is going to take some magic. WIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS!"
[21:44] <@Dorian> "Yes?"
[21:44] <Spiritcurse> "Make him decapitatable."
[21:45] <@Dorian> "Why would I bother?"
[21:45] <Codex> I approach Aria, in as sympathetic way as possible.
[21:45] <Spiritcurse> "Because!" I address Aegis. "Have my wizards make him decapitatable."
[21:47] <Kite> Aria begins to waste time as Hrar does his thing by making strands of silk and trying to manipulate them until they begin to look like a spiderweb.
[21:47] <@Dorian> "Your robot will not work here."
[21:48] <Codex> "You know, there is a way you can speak to her again." Codex pauses. "I don't know either of you though. I don't know if she would appritiate what I have in mind."
[21:48] <Spiritcurse> Pausing, I lean down and pluck a bug from Effervo. "THIS WILL HAVE TO DO."
[21:49] <Dark> As I reach up Domino, a thousand tendrals of pitch black and snakes with eyes glowing blue swarm out and set upon his body, tearing and slashing. As the mutilated body is lifted into the air, Conjack reaches out with his own hand and rips his heart clean about before tossing it into the open jaw of a snake "I've been looking forward to this..."
[21:49] <Spiritcurse> With the insectile exoskeletal form attached to me, I lean down again. "Fernus, bitch."
[21:50] <@Dorian> "Have you now? You know, I should probably stop you doing that."
[21:51] <Kite> Aria finally gets up to stretch. "Call me when... you guys are done... I'm going for a small walk..."
[21:51] <@Dorian> "No, you're not."
[21:52] <Dark> With a growl of rage, I toss the bloddy debris of the body away and whisper "I feel empty...I hear nothing..."
[21:52] <@Dorian> As Hrar burns Effervo, he dissapears into ashes
[21:53] <Kite> "Why not?" She says turning towards the person who spoke to her.
[21:53] <@Dorian> "Because," says the elderly man standing in front of the citadel, "You just killed my mercenaries."
[21:54] <Spiritcurse> "I see. Well, I see no reason to stop there. You have a wonderful looking skull."
[21:55] <Dark> "You..." I turn slowly as I look at him, eyes wide and take a step back, the snakes snapping in the air yet void of the hatefilled expression of the Darkness
[21:55] <Kite> "Are you...Zanton?" Aria asks clearing the web she was making from her hands.
[21:55] <@Dorian> "Got it in one."
[21:57] <Kite> "..." Aria says nothing as she instinctively steps back.
[21:58] <Dark> "Monster..." One is of the few words in human that I mutter, hands flexing as Darkness wraps around them "I knew.."
[21:59] <Codex> "Oh hello there, My name is Codex." I offer a wave from within my Utter dome.
[22:00] <Spiritcurse> "It's been a long time. I've been waiting to add you to my collection." As I speak this last sentence, I gesture in the direction of my genitals.
[22:01] <@Dorian> "...Ok, wow. You really are a barbarian, aren't you?"
[22:01] <Spiritcurse> "I'M A CLERIC!" I yell, which is Hrar-ian for "Power Word Fire".
[22:01] <Dark> "and I've been waiting for over a billion years! iSince you murdered everything I knew and left my people to destroy themselves!"
[22:02] <Spiritcurse> This power word expresses itself in a large explosion of flame issuing from my collection of skulls, aiming directly for Zanton.
[22:03] <@Dorian> Zanton smiles slightly and counters the fire into steam with a blast of essential ice and a whisper of "Frigis"
[22:04] <Spiritcurse> I gaze into the steam and focus light into it, the refraction causing a rainbow of arcane power with a mutter of "Lumin."
[22:05] <@Dorian> A black void opens up and devours the light.
[22:06] <Dark> Conjack dosent even seem to register the power words being thrown about as he stairs at Zanton, almost seemig to battle with flashbacks as the snakes snap again and again
[22:06] <Spiritcurse> "Gar, bitch" I yell, causing the void to explode by Zanton's face.
[22:08] <@Dorian> Zanton raises an eyebrow, and the entire explosion is nullified
[22:09] <Spiritcurse> "Sancreta Iria" I reply, transforming the wasted energy into a new blast of sacred light.
[22:16] <@Dorian> "Destructus." The light is promptly turned into explosions and directed upwards
[22:16] <Dark> "YOU DID THIS TO ME!!" I suddenly scream and around me, around 3 dozen snakes suddenly howl as their jaws disjoin and snap to open impossibly wide, ignoring everything Hrar is doing. A howl that seems to tear at the hearts of all who hear it seems to converge upon Zanton
[22:31] <@Dorian> Zanton, noticing that the death screams are rather more dangerous than most attacks, tries to Utter Dome it. Then Utter Domes it again. Noticing that this isn't working, he creates several psychosomatic relays to redirect the energy. This looks more than a little draining.
[22:32] <Dark> "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE!" Conjack's voice howls over the screaming "FOR MY FAMILY! MY FREINDS!! AND FOR ME!!!!"
[22:32] <@Dorian> The relays hold, but only just.
[22:33] <@Dorian> Mars now looks slightly damaged now.
[22:34] <Codex> "That was unexpected"
[22:36] <@Dorian> "Well. You have to die."
[22:37] <Dark> "I WILL DESTROY YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME!!"
[22:37] <@Dorian> "Really."
[22:38] <Kite> Aria takes the moment of his slight distraction to try and hit him with her sniping ability.
[22:39] <@Dorian> The blow hits, immobilising hi- imobilising where he was. He's now 5 meters to the left.
[22:41] <Kite> "I ...missed...?" Aria says as the move fails to do anything to him.
[22:43] <Codex> "I think he just moved out of it."
[22:45] <Kite> "I've never... been much good against magic..." Aria admits sighing.
[22:47] <@Dorian> "Good shot. I've seen better."
[22:48] <Kite> "..." Aria says nothing confidence obviously wounded slightly.
[22:52] <Codex> A flurry of spells results in time moving oddly for everyone in the party, things are slower and more precise. Another quick wave results in a ring of essential flame within the utterdome, not being released as of yet.
[22:55] <@Dorian> Zanton charges a brief ball of energy into his palm and releases it as a blast of pure gamma energy aimed directly at Codex
[22:59] <Codex> With a large bang, the utterdome is gone, and Codex is up in the air, breaking the sound barrier.
[22:59] <Codex> Surrounded in a ring of Essential Fire.
[23:03] <Spiritcurse> I trap Zanton in a small cage and swing for him, achieving nothing.
[23:05] <Dark> Rising to his feet, Conjack's holwing increases as more snakes rise and their jaws open further, increasing the soul tearing noise
[23:07] <Kite> Aria covers her ears in a vain attempted to avoid the noise.
[23:07] <@Dorian> -CUTSCENE BEGINS-
[23:07] <@Dorian> Zanton shatters his cage and bindings, floating up into the air.
[23:07] <@Dorian> "You're good. You're REALLY good. But not good enough."
[23:08] <@Dorian> He flies in towards the center of his cathedral, moving very fast.
[23:10] <@Dorian> You all follow, flying at VERY high speeds under the power of Codex's magic.
[23:11] <@Dorian> When you get there, Zanton is stood under an apeture to the now-Eclipsing sun. He is drawing power from it, and seems to be changing. And splitting into two beings, one gargantuan and winged and demon-y, the other about human-sized but all shadowy and scary.
[23:12] <@Dorian> The two speak as one, "Well then. Shall we begin?"
[23:12] <@Dorian> -CUTSCENE ENDS-
[23:13] <Kite> "This... will be hard... won't it..." Aria says preparing herself best she can.
[23:14] <Dark> "Heh...an eclypse...perfect!" Conjack roars, a strange sound of joy echoing throughout him as he rises into the sky born upon wings of night "YOu obviously dont remember much about my people Destroyer"
[23:16] <Dark> The very air seems to heave as his body twists and convulges, black energy swarming out of his very existance as the sun is hidden.
[23:17] <Dark> From the swirling nothing, a sea of snakes appear and the sound of howling laughter echoes across the entire room and an all too familer voice hows with joy
[23:18] <Dark> "[Behold insects!! Behold the restoration of the Darklings power! Behold out POWER!!
[23] <Dark> ]"
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> I launch myself to the larger form, hammer at the ready.
[23:33] <Dark> In a burst of black smoke and fog, Conjack's form hurls into the air towards Zanton, the roar of the Darkness sounding in utter unison with the enraged roar of Conjack
[23:52] <Kite> Aria shakes her head a bit before taking a short at the smaller of the Zanton forms.
[23:52] <@Dorian> The shot hits... and phases through him, doing nothing
[23:53] <Kite> "I'm... going to have to train... and learn new techniques... if I survive this..."
[23:55] <Codex> "Hold my hand!" Codex shouts, aware of the gargantuan THING that is nearby.
[23:56] <Kite> "Okay..." Aria says not really wanting to do so.
[23:59] <Codex> Codex, with his other hand, waves a hand through the air with extreme speed, shaping essential air and fuel into existance in multiple rings around himself and Aria.
[00:00] <Kite> Aria quickly removes her hand from Codex instinctively before firing another bullet to hit the ground right in front of the Zanton.
[00:03] <Kite> As the bullet connects with the ground before him the web shoots out spreading across the area.
[00:05] <@Dorian> The web captures Zanton, poisoning him rather well. Really rather well. His phasing more or elss doesn't work.
[00:09] <Kite> Even though he is apparantly affected Aria keeps on guard keeping her senses ready if he does anything though she hopes he just stays there and keeps getting poisoned.
[00:20] <@Dorian> Zanton raises a hand... tentacle... thing and swings it at Codex.
[00:22] <Codex> Codex makes a quick head movement, as if flicking away some unknown mental influence.
[00:27] <Kite> Aria makes a repeat shot layering Zanton in more webs as the last web continues to poison him along with the new one.
[00:37] <Kite> After that Aria points both of her hands at the Zanton form before concentrating all the mana Codex gave her and firing it out at Zanton both beams of pure mana racing towards the trapped deimm.
[00:39] <@Dorian> The mana rips into Zanton, causing a scream of pain. The main downside of this, however, is a mana link to the gargatuan Zanton and the Eclipse Apeture.
[00:39] <@Dorian> -CUTSCENE-
[00:40] <@Dorian> The gargantuan Zanton is dissolved down to his component magical force, as is the smaller Zanton.
[00:40] <@Dorian> They are then focused into the apeture, which condenses them... and explodes.
[00:40] <@Dorian> Taking the citadel with it.
[00:41] <@Dorian> Everyone about makes it out with superficial damage, for whatever reason, in a escape scene that would make millions could anyone be arsed to write it up.
[00:43] <@Dorian> As the dust and rubble clears, another figure can be seen in the rubble. The figure is basically a young male human, with red eyes and blonde hair. He gives off an aura of power unlike any of you have felt before.
[00:44] <@Dorian> The man cracks his neck and stretches. "I'm back."
[00:44] <@Dorian> }}{[END OF SESSION]}{{


[23:23] <Dark> In a burst of black smoke and fog, Conjack's form hurls into the air towards Zanton, the roar of the Darkness sounding in utter unison with the enraged roar of Conjack
[23:24] <Spiritcurse> I fly after him, propelled by fire and hammer at the ready.
[23:24] <Dark> From the mist, a sea of black snakes all rise into the air and unleash their screams, tearing at the hearts of all around
[23:39] <@Dorian> The gargantuan Zanton swings at Hrar, but gets blocked very efficiently by the same-said Barbarian
[23:44] <Spiritcurse> I take a few swings to his brain, straight ignoring the flesh and bone before delivering a flawless octuplet of impacts to the cerebrum.
[23:55] <Dark> Conjack's scream continue, sounding almost mournful as Conjack pours all of the hate that he has gathered since the Night of Fire upon Zanton, somthing akin to tears glistening in a few snakes eyes
[00:19] <@Dorian> Zanton swings out and clips Conjack, smashing him through a nearby glacier
[00:26] <Spiritcurse> I retaliate to this by smashing a few more times at the brain, inducing a roar of agony.

This shall be awesome,Final Zanton versus all of us... we cand it uys because we have a secret team mate.. by the name of Yamcha. Nothing can touch the overpowering strength he shall giv us. We shall win!

[22:17] <@Dorian> The gargantuan Zanton is dissolved down to his component magical force, as is the smaller Zanton.
[22:17] <@Dorian> They are then focused into the apeture, which condenses them... and explodes.
[22:18] <@Dorian> Taking the citadel with it.
[22:18] <@Dorian> Everyone about makes it out with superficial damage, for whatever reason, in a escape scene that would make millions could anyone be arsed to write it up
[22:18] <@Dorian> As the dust and rubble clears, another figure can be seen in the rubble. The figure is basically a young male human, with red eyes and blonde hair. He gives off an aura of power unlike any of you have felt before.
[22:18] <@Dorian> The man cracks his neck and stretches. "I'm back."
[22:20] <Spiritcurse> "Back again?"
[22:20] <@Dorian> "Yeah, I'm back. Tell a friend."
[22:22] <Dark> "Not for long" Conjack growls from where he hovers, a hundred snakes snapping and hissing at the air around him
[22:22] <@Dorian> "Really?" Zanton smiles, and raises a hand nonchalantly.
[22:22] <Spiritcurse> "I'll defeat you monster, 'ceause nobody wants to see Zanton no more, leave you knee deep in a blood river."
[22:26] <Codex> After a few random spells, Codex stands and looks around, confused.
[22:30] <Dark> Slowly, severl of the snakes back up slowly as their jaws begin to glow whilst the rest of the snakes resume the relentless schreeching
[22:30] <Spiritcurse> "Let's try a simple thing first." Taking the advice from a tactical program in Aegis, I use my head in combat.
[22:32] <@Dorian> Zanton continues smiling and is promptly not affected by any of this. Except for a slight bit of dust around him.
[22:33] <Dark> Conjack roars out words in Darkling, words that are clearly not very plesent
[22:34] <@Kite> Aria points her finger towards the ground before Zanton and shoots her poison to see how he reacts.
[22:34] <Spiritcurse> "Listen, fool. I am "Fool, I am His Royal Hugeness, The Ascended Archbishop Grand High Lord of the Sun, Admiral of the Stars, Captain of the Moon, Thrice Blessed by the Divine Waters, Lord of the Dance, Master of Weaponry and Form, Attendee to the Creator, Supreme Protector Hrar, "Gives No Quarter And Fewer Fucks" Sun-God, Sol Incarnate, the Unconquered Sun, All Hailed by the Seven Suns, Defender of the Light, Slayer

Stand aside, or we shall attack again."
[22:35] <Dark> "OH WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU SELF RIGHTOUS BASTARD!!"
[22:35] <@Dorian> "What the shadow scum said."
[22:35] <Spiritcurse> "You're just jealous you only came forteenth."
[22:36] <Dark> "....I'm going to kill you in your sleep"
[22:36] <@Dorian> "Hey, kind of important over here. Hello?"
[22:36] <Dark> "No, just up for a second Destroyer!" I snap
[22:36] <Spiritcurse> "That's still only going up one place. And be quiet, number twenty-two."
[22:36] <@Dorian> "Twenty..."
[22:37] <Dark> "All you have done since I met you is brag and rant. I have had it!"
[22:37] <Spiritcurse> "If you wanted to be sexiest, you should have founded your own magazine in a parallel dimension."
[22:38] <Dark> "...."
[22:38] <Dark> "I used to have a magazine..."
[22:38] <Codex> Codex just stands off to the side, watching the argument, seeming a little distant.
[22:38] <Spiritcurse> As proof, I retrieve the front cover of SOLAR magazine on Aegis, and project it. An image of Hrar promoting his latest summerwear lights up the battlefield.
[22:39] <@Dorian> "Oh, I did not need to see that."
[22:39] <Spiritcurse> "Hey bitch, I'm number one. You know you love it."
[22:39] <Dark> "[OH MY GODS CAN NOT UNSEE!!]"
[22:40] <@Dorian> "Wait, you have gods? We're above gods in the Hierachy Of All"
[22:40] <Codex> "Are they allowed to print that?"
[22:40] <@Kite> Aria moves her head to the side in slight confusion not understanding what's going on.
[22:40] <Dark> "Its a bloddy figure of speech you idiot!"
[22:40] <Spiritcurse> "Yeah, turns out when you're god you can pretty much do as you please."
[22:40] <@Dorian> "Not you, sun fucker, wizard boy, or spider bitch. Hell, or you, shadow scum. Just me and Corruption."
[22:41] <@Dorian> "You're all worthless, and can just go and die."
[22:41] <Dark> "[On all save my host, I'll agree]"
[22:41] <Dark> "Shut it!"
[22:41] <Spiritcurse> "If you weren't technically correct, I'd smack you. And no I can't, we've been through this."
[22:42] <@Dorian> "What he said. Also, weren;t you banished to some indeterminate plane of... this has gotten stupid. I'll just erase everyone you know and love from time and space to get your attention, how about that?"
[22:43] <Spiritcurse> "Little impolite. Try this instead." I lunge forward with another headbutt.
[22:43] <Dark> "Not again!" Conjack screams out, suddenly turning back towrards Zanton with his voice in perfect unison with that of the Darkness
[22:45] <@Dorian> Zanton stops Hrar with a thought. "Well, to be honest, that happens without me trying. You know, it really is fun to watch people scream as they realise all thier loved ones have been dissapearing over time."
[22:46] <Dark> With a roar the snakes screaming begins to increase and pitch, a look of pure hatred glowing in his yellow light eyes
[22:46] <@Kite> Aria shoots her attack this time into the air so that when it bursts the poisonous web begins falls down on Zanton.
[22:46] <Spiritcurse> Taking a novel approach, I flex my muscles and wink at Zanton. "Maybe this doesn't have to end in combat..."
[22:48] <@Dorian> "Yeah, no. Not gonna happen. Also, you'd better not be trying any... excuse me, one second." The web flays in mid air, "Where was I? Ah, yes. You'd better not be trying any form of trickery, spider bitch."
[22:48] <Dark> Suddenly...the screeching stops completly and Conjack's face goes utterly blank
[22:48] <Spiritcurse> "Why not? We can both shapeshift, if that's what's bothering you."
[22:49] <@Dorian> "But I really do not give a fuck for any sun worshipping scum like yourself."
[22:50] <Dark> "No..."
[22:50] <Spiritcurse> "Perhaps I could tempt you with a nigh-infinite supply of fangirls?"
[22:50] <@Dorian> "Try the shadow scum, he seems like he needs some right now."
[22:51] <Spiritcurse> "You really need to chill. How about we go back to the ship, I set you up with Fiora and Lucy and Violet, we drink, and it'll be cool?"
[22:52] <@Dorian> "Me or the shadow scum?"
[22:52] <Dark> Conjacks eyes glow a pulsating blue as his lips curl back into a feral snarl
[22:52] <Dark> "What have you done..."
[22:52] <Spiritcurse> "You. He at least got some before he went crazy murder style."
[22:52] <@Dorian> "Destroyed everything you know and love. It's what I do."
[22:52] <Codex> "That's rude."
[22:53] <Dark> "No...No..." his eyes burn "NOT AGAIN!!"
[22:53] <@Dorian> "Oh, and yeahNO." Zanton raises a hand and flips Hrar off, sending him spinning through a glacier some five hundred miles away.
[22:54] <Spiritcurse> After a couple of seconds of flying, I arrive back. "Really impolite. Fiora is one of my few fangirls who still has her... enough of that. FALCON HEADBUTT!"
[22:55] <@Dorian> Zanton dodges by disregarding physics for a few seconds.
[22:56] <Dark> "I WILL SHATTER YOUR MIND!!!" COnjacks voice sounds utterly insane as he suddenly shoot forwards, the snakes howling their scream as ball of pitch blackness fly out and beams of nothingness that can tear souls apart hurtle towards the Destroyer
[22:56] <Spiritcurse> "So, in the red corner we have an immortal bastard with wings. And in the blue corner we have an immortal bastard with glowing red eyes."
[22:57] <@Dorian> "Wow, he's pissed, isn't he?" Zanton says as he dodges all these attacks with little to no effort.
[22:58] <Spiritcurse> "He does appear so."
[22:58] <Dark> Words in Darkling and other forbidden languages screech from Conjack (his voice now much closer to the Darkness)
[23:00] <Kite> "Zanton I have a question... do you have anyone you care for?" Aria askes curiously trying to think of something.
[23:01] <@Dorian> "No, why?"
[23:01] <Codex> "Curiosity. Any particular reason?"
[23:01] <Spiritcurse> "Then you really need to get laid."
[23:02] <Kite> "Did you ever... have one...?"
[23:02] <@Dorian> "I had sex with everyone in your tribe, sun fucker. Try me. And no, I did not."
[23:02] <Spiritcurse> "Even... even me?"
[23:02] <Dark> "You should be gratful you dont!" I hiss "Or I would make you go though what you have done to me! THere is no word in the human language for what I will do to you!"
[23:03] <Spiritcurse> "Try 'fuck you up', it usually suffices."
[23:03] <@Dorian> "Yes, of course I had sex with you, full of all the diseases you are. Also, fuck you too, shadow scum."
[23:04] <Spiritcurse> "I'm a servant of god, I can't get diseases!"
[23:04] <Dark> Again the snakes screech out loud, a sound that seems to tear apart reality around him in its power
[23:06] <@Dorian> "Nice trick."
[23:07] <Spiritcurse> "Wait... if you had everyone in my tribe, and you keep calling me sun fucker... are you my father?"
[23:08] <@Dorian> "Of course. I am your father. That's why you have inherent infinite power over the aspect of destructionOF FUCKING COURSE I'M NOT."
[23:09] <Dark> "[If its any conselation your village was also had by the Heartless plauge]"
[23:09] <Spiritcurse> "Well, I've been able to do this for a while..." I bellow the Word of destruction a few times.
[23:10] <@Dorian> Zanton deflects the words towards Hrar's space cathedral. "Nice."
[23:10] <Dark> Rising into the air, nearly two hundred snakes turn and bellow the word of darkness in Darkling at Zanton
[23:10] <Spiritcurse> The ship is barely glanced. Aegis comments "Want me to return fire?"
[23:11] <@Dorian> The word is compressed by light stolen from Hrar.
[23:15] <Dark> Howling in rage again, Conjack simply throws himself at Zanton again
[23:16] <@Dorian> "Just stop. Please. It's embarrasing now." Zanton raises a hand and Conjack stops in mid air, suspended by some unseen force.
[23:17] <Dark> "YOu think i care!?" Conjack screams, his face torn in rage and mental agony "You have taken everything from me AGIAN! I have nothing!" The rest is darkling
[23:19] <Spiritcurse> With the subtlety of my usual combat tactics, I launch a wizard at obscene speeds above and behind Zanton. "Yeah, take that! Wizard to the face!"
[23:20] <Dark> Conjack pays no attention to this strange act, simply thrashing and snarling in an attempt to strike Zanton
[23:21] <Codex> With a gust of wind to cusion the contact with the pillar of energy behind Zanton, begining to float within the energy.
[23:22] <Codex> "So this is a thing."
[23:22] <@Dorian> Zanton turns around, and his eyes widen. "Nonononono this IS NOT HAPPENING! NO!!!"
[23:23] <Dark> Taking advantage of his distraction, the snakes resume their attack
[23:23] <Dark> "You end is what is happing Destroyer!!"
[23:24] <Codex> "Get in here, Everyone!"
[23:24] <@Dorian> "Yeah, no shit. You know what, shadow scum? FUCK YOU!" Zanton twitches, and throws Conjack at a nearby bit of thin ice.
[23:28] <Dark> As he hits the water, the sounds of howling snakes can still be heard
[23:28] <Codex> Codex appears to concentrate for a moment as he shouts, attempting to just drag everyone in via telekenisis.
[23:28] <@Dorian> "WIZARD! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! ANYONE WEAKER THAN A DEIIM CAN'T CONTROL THAT! YOU'LL KILL US ALL!"
[23:30] <Dark> Conjack blinks as he appears beside Codex, thrashing and snarling before looking around, his eyes bruning with hate "...."
[23:30] <Spiritcurse> "I'M STRONGER THAN HIM, I'LL DO IT! THE SKULLS ON MY CODPIECE GRANT ME POWER, ONE OF THEM MUST BE CONTROLLING STUFF!"
[23:30] <Codex> "I am to be stronger than a Deiim."
[23:31] <@Dorian> "...What."
[23:31] <Dark> "I will end him" COnjack growls "I have nothing left in this world now, the Deiim of Corruption flows through me! I WILL DESTROYER THIS MAGGOT!!"
[23:31] <@Dorian> Zanton's face falls completely.
[23:31] <@Dorian> "...What."
[23:32] <Dark> Conjack's laugher sounds with hints of the Darkness as he looks down towards Zanton "Shall I list all of my loved ones that died at your hands?"
[23:32] <Spiritcurse> "He's out-wizarded you, deal with it."
[23:33] <Codex> "I'm going to take a moment to do some rustling. What do you think is going to happen next?"
[23:34] <Dark> "For example..." He growls as his snakes swing back and vomit a series of orbs towards Zanton, Conjack listing a name with each orb fired
[23:36] <Dark> "This is for Harnit, Sarien, My family, Grantat, The city of Trapia" THe list goes on and on before his eyes burn as he fires a final two "And this...." He pauses as his narrow with a look of pain "Is for Evangeline A.K. McDowell. Who you took from me..."
[23:37] <@Dorian> "Fuck them, shadow scum, and fuck you too."
[23:35] <@Dorian> "You're going to harness the power of the Cosmic Keystone to empower yourself and ascend the state of Prensha."
[23:35] <@Dorian> The orbs hit Zanton in the back, fucking him up royally... at least, so it appears. He is actually unhurt, and really fucking angry.
[23:35] <@Dorian> "Oh, you are DEAD, shadow scum!"
[23:36] <Codex> "So, Why couldn't you do this? See the keystone and such?"
[23:37] <Codex> "Rude."
[23:37] <@Dorian> "I could see the Keystone becau-mmph."
[23:37] <@Dorian> His mout is zipped up rather effectively, which seems to piss him off no end.
[23:37] <Dark> Conjack simply says nothing, his face showing an almost numb expression
[23:37] <Spiritcurse> "Wahey, bitch. He headbuttable yet?"
[23:38] <Codex> Codex turns to Conjack. "Do you want to hear any more out of him, or shall we finish him?"
[23:39] <Dark> "End him" The words growl from him
[23:39] <Codex> "Well then,"
[23:40] <Spiritcurse> I fall into the pillar, unused to being moved telekinetically in a non-violent manner.
[23:43] <Kite> Aria falls into the pillar a bit awkwardly and lands slightly painfully.
[23:44] <@Dorian> A voice sounds from absolutely nowhere, "BRILLIANT! LET'S GET THIS STARTED, THEN!"
[23:44] <@Dorian> Time freezes
[23:44] <@Dorian> ---
[23:48] <@Dorian> Time unfreezes
[23:49] <Codex> "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hHDxlm66dE"
[23:49] <@Dorian> Zanton looks around, then looks up, scared at what Codex has just said. "What was that? WHAT DID YOU WAY!?"
[23:50] <@Dorian> "Oh god... it's back..."
[23:50] <Dark> As one, the snakes howl as their mouths seem to dislocate and open impossibly wide, each blasting out a beam of pure black oblivion towards the source of Conjacks agony "AND THIS IS FOR ME!!"
[23:51] <Spiritcurse> Looking somewhat annoyed, I increase my size tenfold and swing down on Zanton.
[23:51] <Codex> "I'MA FIRIN' MAH LASER!"
[23:52] <Kite> Aria simply skips the dramatics and fires her poison bullet.
[23:53] <Codex> Codex let's loose a devastating laser attack, shoopda'wooping in the face.
[23:54] <@Dorian> The attacks all fuse into one glowing, horrific figure of Hrar, charging straight at a terrified Zanton. The last thing that can be heard is a quiet "Oh, shi-" before Hrar's hammer slams down on him and creates a large enough explosion to end a small moon which is totally not a space station.
[23:55] <@Dorian> As the dust clears, nothing can be seen save for a fuck-off crater.
[23:55] <Codex> "Fatality."
[23:59] <Dark> "The judgment of the Dark Phoriah and the Darkling race comes for all..."
[00:01] <Kite> Aria slumps down with a sigh.
[00:02] <Dark> Conjack lands in the area of death, his face a blank expression as he looks around
[00:03] <Kite> Aria gets up after a small while before she begins to walk away.
[00:03] <Spiritcurse> "What just happened? I... I think I hit him a little hard."
[00:04] <Codex> "We rustled his jimmies."
[00:06] <Codex> "Also, we fired all our attacks at once, which became you somehow and then you hit him."
[00:06] <Spiritcurse> "I became an attack?"
[00:07] <Codex> "Yes, it was very interesting!"
[00:07] <Spiritcurse> "Did his skull survive?"
[00:07] <Dark> "If it did I would destroy it now"
[00:08] <Dark> As if to prove his point, Conjack spits on the ground where Zanton had been standing
[00:08] <Spiritcurse> "I need it", I reply, gesturing to my crotch.
[00:08] <Dark> "I'm not going to ask"
[00:11] <Codex> "Where has Aria gone?"
[00:11] <Codex> "They weren't absorbed by the blast, were they?"
[00:12] <Dark> I look in the direction Aria went before sighing heavily and closing my eyes, reaching my mental pressence through the bonds of hearts
[00:14] <Dark> Eyes shooting wide open, Conjack's body explodes into a cloud of black mist and he is gone
[00:18] <Codex> "So that's it, we're free. But let's make sure destruction is still possible..." Codex turns to Hrar. "Do something Hrary."
[00:18] <Spiritcurse> I summon alcohol and bitches.
[00:19] <@Dorian> You summon alcohol and bitches
[00:19] <Dark> somewhere far away, Conjack groans
[00:19] <Codex> Suddenly, Dance club.
[00:20] <Spiritcurse> I dance. My apparently elven bitches do the same. A jazzy techno beat plays.
[00:21] <@Dorian> The jazzy techno beat cuts out, to be replaced by Dancing Queen, by Abba
[00:24] <Codex> "I like it."

[00:27] <@Dorian> Sure, it was, good job. Also, I have issues with this script! It doesn't explain anything! Everything is all out of nowhere, and makes no sense! What are the Prensha? What are the Raksha? What the fuck is this even!?
[00:27] <Kite> "Calm down people... none of this matters... lets just go ... do what ever we were doing before."
[00:27] <@Dorian> But it does! It's annoying me!
[00:27] <@Dorian> The stupid writers left some massive holes in the plot!

[00:27] <@Dorian> Who's going to fix them? WHO!?
[00:28] <Kite> "You will... eventually."
[00:29] <Codex> I know how to explain it.
[00:29] <Codex> > WIZARD
[00:30] <@Dorian> Stop speaking in Green Text, you're not supposed to let people know we can do that!
[00:30] <Codex> Oh no! Is that one of the rules?
[00:30] <@Dorian> Nope
[00:31] <@Dorian> It's just one of those things that you kind of do, you know?
[00:31] <Codex> Alright, Will do.

Everyone Else's Desire PMs (Guess who's who)

[23:47] <Dorian> "You desire the return of your loved ones. This does not meet the criteria. You will be granted the power you need temporarily, and your desire will be granted."

[23:47] <Dorian> "You desire happiness for your friends and yourself. This does not meet the criteria, but is admirable. You will be granted the power you need, and your desire will be granted."

[23:47] <Dorian> "You desire the return of your village. This does not meet the criteria. You will be granted the power you need temporarily, and your desire will be granted

PM bit that explains the whole "Codex's New Ventures Into What The Fuck"

[22:20] <Dorian> You feel an odd pull, as if your concious mind was being taken somewhere else.
[22:27] <Dorian> "Do not worry, you will not be harmed. We are contacting you about what you are, and what you will be."
[22:28] <Codex> [Oh alright then... and what's that?]
[22:29] <Dorian> "One of us. One of the Raksha."
[22:31] <Codex> [Oh, well that's certainly interesting. Though I feel this might not be an excellent time.]
[22:34] <Dorian> "Do not worry, this will not intefere with your real self. You will do as you would, and will, there, whilst you speak to us."
[22:37] <Codex> [I see. I must say, this is fairly bewildering.]
[22:37] <Codex> [Think.]
[22:38] <Codex> [Thing. I don't know at the moment.]
[22:39] <Dorian> "It is often indeterminate. Do not worry, it will make sense in time."
[22:41] <Codex> [All right, so, what is a Raksha?]
[22:50] <Dorian> "For that to be answered, the Hierachy Of All must be explained. Deiim rule over Gods, who rule over Mortals. Angels and Demons are on about the same level as Gods, though with as much authority as Mortals. All of these are known as the Prensha, the Beings of Stability. They are on a level with the least of the Raksha, the unformed beings of Chaos known as Aether Spawn. The Prensha and the Aether Spawn are both servant to the Aether Lords, which is what we, and soon you, are."
[22:55] <Codex> [An Aether Lord... that certainly sounds like fun.]
[22:56] <Dorian> "It is. You rule over all Reality you know of currently, and answer only to the Akasha. However, that only happens when you step out of line with the ruleless rules of the Aether."
[23:03] <Codex> [I'm assuming it's difficult to break ruleless rules.]
[23:03] <Dorian> "Oh, you have no idea."
[23:04] <Codex> [So, what do I... do?]
[23:06] <Dorian> "Rule everything everywhere ever. But first, you must ascend to have ascended."
[23:07] <Codex> [Sounds like fun, how did you do that?]
[23:10] <Dorian> "You must get to the focus of the Cosmic Keystone. Take your friends. You will be able to stop the rouge element."
[23:11] <Codex> [The Cosmic Keystone. Where, When and how is that?]
[23:13] <Dorian> "It is where the rouge element's cathedral was, it is everywhen, and it will appear as a beam of infinite mana to your magical senses
[23:13] <Dorian> "
[23:14] <Dorian> "Sorry about the mix up on the speech marks, we're not used to doing this."
[23:15] <Codex> [It's alright, I do it all the time.]
[23:16] <Codex> [What do I do with it?]
[23:16] <Dorian> "Indeed. Also, you seem to have spotted the pillar. Distract him, and get into it."
[23:19] <Codex> [Thank you, I'll attempt that right now.]
[23:20] <Dorian> "Nice."
[23:29] <Dorian> "...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!"
[23:29] <Dorian> "You know what? Tell him. We want to see his face."
[23:44] <Dorian> "Yo, dude, Freedom's your one main desire, right?"
[23:45] <Codex> [Yes?]
[23:45] <Dorian> "Sweet, that's the criteria done, welcome to the ranks of the Aether Lords.
[23:45] <Dorian> "
[23:45] <Dorian> "AGAIN WITH THE SPEECH MARKS"
[23:47] <Codex> [Don't worry about it, it happens.]
[23:50] <Dorian> "Oh, yeah, he has a stutter."
[00:00] <Dorian> "Dude, don't forget the time ripples"
[00:01] <Dorian> "And you should probably explain this in character as well."

And, finally, Hrar, Codex, and John Smith's telepathic communications.


[23:18] <Codex> [I need to be in the giant invisible magic pillar behind him. Throw me as fast as you can, don't think about it, just do it.]
[23:18] <Codex> [Directly above him.]
[23:18] <@Dorian> "Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?"
[23:18] <Spiritcurse> [Fuckin' trolls.]
[23:19] <@Dorian> "Oh, shut up. Anyway, we suggest you do as he asks."
[23:20] <@Dorian> "Good shot."
[23:20] <Spiritcurse> [Thank you. Now, this is odd. This is supposed to be a private channel]
[23:21] <@Dorian> "It is. We kind of ignore those restrictions."
[23:22] <Spiritcurse> [Impolite. This channel is used for emergencies and naked pictures only]
[23:22] <Codex> [Wat do?]
[23:23] <@Dorian> "Get everyone else in. Now."
[23:23] <Codex> [Oh of course!]
[23:32] <Codex> [Is this where we get him mad?]
[23:32] <@Dorian> "It is. Go on. Do it. It'll be funny."
[23:37] <@Dorian> "OH SWEET DEADPOOL YES!!!!"
[23:38] <@Dorian> "DO IT! FINISH HIM!"
[23:39] <@Dorian> "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hHDxlm66dE"
[23:42] <@Dorian> "Come on, one more to go...£
[23:42] <@Dorian> "FUCKING POUND SIGNS!!!"
[23:55] <@Dorian> "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARy1PR1VAkg"
[00:03] <Codex> [I don't even.]
[00:03] <@Dorian> "Dude, brackets."
[00:04] <Codex> "Oh, of course."
