Part I - Part II - Part III - Part IV - Part V - Part VI - Part VII - Part VIII CHRISTMAS DAY, 2009 - GINGA TV STUDIO 7B"So, people of Earth.... tell me... where is your God now?" Meioh Setsuna chuckled as she stared into the camera monitor that was broadcasting her signal to all of Japan, as well as most of the western world. on the screen behind her, the picture of a drunken Sailor Moon-- passed out and drooling on the floor of an animation convention, was plastered for all to see. The Queen that had taken her King from her... the woman who had stood by and done nothing while her powers had been stripped from her-- finally, she was exposed as a fraud! The people's belief in her would break, and just as Chibi-Chibi promised, she, Sailor Pluto, would be the greatest hero Earth ever saw! Smirking as she looked into the camera, Setsuna suddenly realized it's transmission light had winked out. Moreover, the cameraman behind it had vanished. Standing, she realized he had crumpled to the ground, unconscious. What was going on...? That was when she saw him. Standing upon the body of the prone cameraman, a small white cat in a shoddy Batman-esque costume. Artemis, in his guise as the crimefighting Cat-Man. "You!" she snapped, pulling out her Big Assed Key from behind the Anchor Desk, swinging it around, charging up power into the Garnet Orb mounted at its top. Artemis arched his back and hissed. He hadn't thought this through all the way-- rushing to the studio, he'd stopped the transmission from going out seconds after it started, but there was no way he could fight a Time Senshi with one of the Three Talismans--! Setsuna leapt at him, swinging the staff around, prepared to bring the end of it down on his braincase, but then a fist SMASHED into the side of her face, sending her crashing into the LCD monitors that were mounted in the wall. Struggling to focus her vision, Setsuna squinted, seeing the fuzzy form of a tall, angry blonde blowing on her fist. Sakura? No, this girl had a huge mane of blonde hair totally unlike Sakura's orange-blonde ponytail. Minako? No... her eyes were a light purple. This was no one she'd ever seen before. "Meioh Setsuna," the girl said, grinning out of the corner of her mouth and cracking her knuckles for another shot. "You're coming with us." She stepped aside to reveal three other girls behind her. "Time... stop!" Setsuna incanted, halting the flow of time in the room, freezing the moment. She would have free reign of the area, but not them, and then she'd wipe the smirk off the bimbo's face. Standing, she spun the key around and prepared to slam it into the side of the girl's face when she realized the girl was still moving-- albeit slowly. Before she could process that, two of the other three girls rushed at her, seemingly unaffected, the third also struggling to move forward. What the hell?! was all she could think before one of the girls-- a young brown-haired woman with golden-brown eyes who was wielding dual blades, repeatedly struck at her arms with the back of them with incredible speed, causing her to drop the Time Staff. In the next instant, as she struggled to dodge, a girl with long, raven-black hair swooped in and punched her right in the face, knocking her out cold, snapping the Time Stop. "Paisley what the heck?!" the fourth member of the group, a short, pale black-haired girl wearing a black lolita dress, platform boots and a blood-red petticoat exclaimed, her voice high with excitement. "We needed her concious to get us to the Time Gate!" "Bloody hell, Vermellia," the taller woman with black hair replied in a refined English accent, taking a moment to adjust her silver-rimmed antique glasses, "I don't punch nearly as hard as Cressida there," she protested, nodding to the blonde. "She'll be up and about shortly." "You put her halfway into the wall," the young woman with the swords replied flatly, folding them up and sheathing them, taking a moment to adjust her short brown uniform jacket which bore the insignia of Gallifreyan Intelligence-- the Celestial Intervention Agency-- on the side. "Yes, Intern," Paisley snapped, annoyed, "but Cressida there would have put her through the building." Cressida shrugged. "Anyway, this is where the transmission said we'd find her." "Who are you guys?" Artemis asked, confused. He'd never seen any of them before. The brown-haired girl turned to Artemis and squatted down to try and get on eye level with him. "I'm called 'The Intern'. I'm a Time Lord who was assigned the task of..." she trailed off, trying to determine how much she could reveal, "...helping your friends Haruka and the others to deal with this crisis." Artemis frowned. The only Time Lord he knew was Minako's husband, Doctor Xadium. "I'm a friend of Lord Xadium," Intern quickly added. Why didn't he come himself, Artemis wondered. "And who are these other people?" he asked. "Paisley, Vermellia and Cressida," Intern explained quickly. "We're here to get to the Time Gate in the 31st century and stop whatever it is that this 'CiCi' is up to." "Aren't you a Time Lord?" Artemis challenged. "Can't you just use your TARDIS to get there?" "During the Plutonian Epoch the entire planet was protected by a time barrier because of the Black Moon shenanigans," Cressida answered. "The only way in is by the Time Gate to the palace." Artemis stared at Cressida for a long time-- and it wasn't just because of the low cut of her shirt. Something about her seemed very, very familiar to him. But he knew he'd never seen her before in his life. And she seemed to look at him with a similar familiarity. "Haruka and the others won't make it in time," the short black-haired girl continued quickly. "They got ambushed in space while trying to slingshot around the sun by some dude named Faris. He knocked them into the sun and it took them ages to get out." "Into the sun?!" Artemis shrieked. "And they're okay?" "Looks like their craft had good shields," Intern said. "But it means they won't be there soon enough to intercept the enemy." "How can the concept of 'soon enough' even come into things when you have Time Travel?" Artemis protested. "They can just adjust... stuff somehow and try to hit their original destination, right?" Intern shook her head. This was perhaps one of the hardest concepts to explain to non time travellers. "Time might seem to be a linear sequence of cause and effect, but in reality it's what we call a 'Causal Nexus'-- an everpresent now, if you will, in which everything occurs simultaneously in relation to everything else. Relative to each other, Haruka and the others had one shot to make it to Crystal Tokyo in a certain timeframe, and they missed it." Artemis didn't really follow. "So where do you guys come in?" "We got a message" Vermellia chirped excitedly. "From them! They were trying to let folks in 2010 know what was going on, but because they'd already started time travelling, it only got to us in 2014!" "You're from 2014?" Artemis asked in shock, as the taller black-haired girl in glasses smacked the shorter girl in the back of the head. "Way to go, genius," Paisley scolded as Vermellia chuckled in embarrassment. "Right," Intern confirmed. "So we've come back to help. And that's why we need Miss Meioh here. We need her to get past the Temporal Barrier surrounding Crystal Tokyo." "I'll never... help you..." Setsuna groaned, coming to slowly. "The future will belong... to Ci-Ci-sama..." "Oh yeah?" Cressida asked cockily, taking the Time Staff from her and gazing at the Garnet Orb. "That's an awfully nice Talisman you got there... shame if anything were to happen to it~" She grinned mischievously. "Hah," Setsuna scoffed, unimpressed. "You need me to have that if you want to have any chance of opening the Time Gate." "Leave this to me, guys," Paisley said confidently, adjusting her glasses and walking over to Setsuna, pressing a hand to her forehead. Closing her eyes, Paisley summoned up a rarely-used portion of her mental training, a technique used by the Sisterhood of Karn usually for self-defense or leading their enemies to their deaths-- mental illusion. Oh god, the neuroses in this one, Paisley thought to herself as she made telepathic content and quickly did a non-invasive mental scan of Setsuna's concious and subconscious mind. And the things she wants to do to that man. She shuddered. Setsuna shivered as her vision went blurry again, and Paisley's image in front of her seemed to waver and crack, like a flickering flame. The next moment, she was gone-- replaced by the tall, lean, refreshing visage of a man in a questionably fashionable lavender tuxedo and top hat-- an illusion she allowed the other girls to see as well. "My king," Setsuna cooed, legs crossing involuntarily, hearts pulsing in her eyes as she greedily scanned every inch of the royal personage. At that moment, Paisley was glad she had decided to augment the illusion with a roll of socks down its trousers. "What is this horrible fashion?" Cressida balked. "Does the King shop at thrift stores?" Vermellia asked honestly. "What is thy bidding, my Master," Setsuna asked, kneeling, breathing heavily from barely-repressed desire. "Did she just turn into Darth Vader?" Vermellia squeaked as Cressida lightly slapped her on the back of the head. "Take us to the Time Gate," Fake Future King and Ultimate Fashionista Endymion commanded. "Yes, my Master," Setsuna intoned in a husky voice, dripping with needs. Horrible, terrible needs which Paisley could unfortunately see in excruciating detail thanks to the mental link. Paisley-as-Endymion took the Time Staff back from Cressida and handed it to Setsuna, who drove it into the ground hard, the bottom part sinking into a vortex of purplish energy. Grasping the staff firmly at its center, Setsuna turned it like a key (which is essentially what the giant staff was), and there was the sound of a groaning clank which echoed throughout the room. "That's nifty," Vermellia remarked, impressed. Presently, cracks of purple energy spidered outwards from the base of the key, moving across the floor and then rising into the air, forming the shape of a growing double door, outlined by tendrils of electricity. Within moments, the tendrils solidified into a massive tangible doorway about twenty feet high. Slowly, the doors swung open, revealing a slender pathway that seemed to slip into infinite space. "This opens directly into the Time Vortex," Intern noted appreciatively. "Rather like a Time Corridor, but--" she paused, frowning as she noted how easy it would be to fall off the sides of the path, "--without any real protection from the Vortex itself beyond this walkway." "It served as an emergency escape route for the Court of Selenos," Pluto explained, as she began leading the party over the walkway. "The Court of who?" Vermellia asked, not familiar with the name. "Over a hundred thousand years ago, they were the rulers of this Galaxy," Pluto explained, waving her staff at a region of the void above them, which shimmered, revealing scenes of an idyllic paradise world whose architecture looked something like a cross between Ancient Greece and Blade Runner. "Their Queen was presented with a crystal cut from an exotic material called 'Imperium Crystal' that was formed by the castoff of newly birthed Sailor Crystals and starseeds at Galaxy Cauldron which had been tempered and enchanted by an ancient clan of now-extinct magesmiths. It was a symbol of her unquestioned dominion over all the Galaxy. She named it 'Ginzuishou'." "That's the Legendary Mysterious Illusory Silver Crystal, right?" Cressida asked. "The one that the Serenity line wields?" Pluto nodded. "As you may know, the Silver Crystal is made of a substance that can respond to and amplify human will-- lens of unimaginable power that focuses, and makes real, the will of the user, but if used recklessly, can burn out their life force as well. Obviously, such a weapon would have been the ultimate tactical advantage to any army. During the height of the Sailor Wars, the mage-smiths who created it were killed by Chaos Senshi seeking to learn the secret of its construction, and the Court of Selenos, realizing that the enemy would never stop looking for them, constructed this Time Gate to escape through, abandoning their world and allowing it to be sacked and destroyed by Chaos. History thus recorded them as dead. Only the Gallifreyans, Oans and Arisians knew better." The views overhead shifted to show the tragic decision to abandon Selenos, with their ruler-- wearing a very familiar rabbit-like bun hairdo making the hard decision to leave some of her court behind to be sacrificed, in order to lend credence to the notion everyone had perished. "So what happened to them?" Vermellia asked, humbled by the sight. "Escaping to a colony world, they set off in starships for the furthest corner of the Galaxy," Setsuna replied, pointing towards an image of a spiral arm. "Mutters' Spiral," Intern intoned, using the Gallifreyan designation for the spiral arm of the galaxy that was home to the Solar System. "Yes," Setsuna confirmed. "They made it to Earth, but found it barbaric, filled with ape-like creatures and atavistic demons. Having no choice, they settled in a biosphere on the Moon's surface. Now calling themselves the line of 'Selenity' to hide their origins, they settled on the Moon and began the process of guiding Earth evolution so that the beings there would be more like them." She diverted the group down a side path to make sure they would reach the right year, as the image of the spiral arm was replaced by that of the Moon Kingdom, which would not become the Silver Millennium until years later after a schism within the Selenity line led to the exile of Selenity X, the ancestor of Queen Nehelenia of the Dark Moon." "So hang on," Cressida interrupted, pondering. "If they had this Time Gate, why did they just go to the Moon? Couldn't more of them have escaped into the future?" Setsuna tilted her head, pondering the question. She had never thought to look into the matter, having been far too harried during the tumultuous events of her own life. Born in the 29th century due to Mizuno Ami's modification of King Endymion's DNA to "recreate" a cloned Pluto who would still have her powers, this Setsuna-- who was ironically the original-- went back in time via the Corridor and presented herself to the Court of Selenity on the moon and become their advisor, guiding them forward through the tragic events of the Dark Kingdom invasion. Before Setsuna could look into the matter further, they had reached the end of the corridor, where the time door was being held open by a struggling Sakura Xadium Aino. CRYSTAL TOKYO, 3027, TIME GATE - CRYSTAL PALACE"You!" Setsuna exclaimed, preparing to knock Sakura out with her Big-Assed-Key of a Time Staff, when Cressida unceremoniously punched her in the head, knocking her straight through the gate. Rushing though the gate, Cressida, Intern, Paisley and Vermellia found themselves standing in the basement of the Crystal Palace, which was surprisingly banal and grey cinder-block in construction. "Who are you guys?" Sakura asked confused as she saw the four strangers head out of the gate. And she could have sworn one of them was King Endymion for a second. "Us? We're the bloody cavalry," Paisley replied with a grin. "Here to solve your mudkip problem." Sakura looked over the motley crew, eyes widening as she saw Intern's brown jacket, the Gallifreyan writing on its shoulder insignia corresponding to the Time Lords' elite intervention squad. Things had to be pretty bad if they were sending an agent out here. "You there!" she snapped at Intern, trying to sound as authoritative as possible, knowing that with Time Lords posture went a long way. "Report!" Intern saluted, left arm behind her back, fist at the small of her back, right arm in front of her chest, her right fist centered between her hearts. "Yes, Lady Blyledge! My name is The Intern! We've come from the 2014 time zone to aid in the matter of the Crystal Millennium invasion as Ten'ou Haruka and companions are currently delayed en route!" She knows who I am, Sakura mused. To be expected from the CIA. She'd done some freelancing for them in the past. "'Intern', huh?" Sakura asked with a smile. "That's a strange title to pick for yourself." She grunted as she struggled to keep the time passage open-- Furuhata Unazuki, the girl who was temporarily borrowing the powers of the Sailor Senshi, was somewhere in the Palace trying to find a way to deal with the giant 90 meter tall Mudkip that was carving a path through the city. "I chose it because of my desire to do my best to help everyone to the best of my ability," Intern explained. "...and it was a nickname that rather stuck." She smiled nervously. "And who are you?" Sakura asked Cressida, the girl seeming familiar to her somehow. "Me?" Cressida asked nervously, fingering the Sigil of Venus that hung from her necklace. "I'm just a gal who's along for the ride~" she bluffed. "Uh-huh," Sakura replied skeptically. She looked to Paisley and Vermellia next. "Same. Ride!" Vermellia chirped. Totally not your sister from another timeline's daughter no way Aunty Sakura, she thought to herself, grinning. "A bit of a Time-Travel Roadtrip," Paisley replied. "She's Vermellia and I'm Paisley, and by the looks of it you're having a hell of a time holding that gate open, so should we really be having speed-dating introductions right now?" "Way to try and change the subject, Sister of the Flame," Sakura replied with a smirk. "Oh yes, be all smartarse because you can see the tattoos on my shoulder," Paisley shot back. "I see through your tricks, Sneaky Future Girl." Sakura sweatdropped. So much for impressing the room. "Okay so whaddya we need to do?" Vermellia asked Sakura. "Just take out the giant Pokémon thing?" She reached behind her back, pulling out a red rectangular object, and pressing a small activation button on its side, causing it to unfold into a huge, wicked looking combat scythe with sniper rifle built into the handle. Sakura's eyes widened. That design was very familiar to her, even if it was more complex and not inscribed with runes. It look like a variant of the one that Da-- "So, you f[BLEEP]ing b[BLEEP]ches are here to try and ruin the show, are you? This Motherf[BLEEP]ing sh[BLEEP]itco[BLEEP]kery must cease!" Storming into the hall was the extremely diminutive Ci-Ci, flanked by four Elemental Senshi - Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus. She quickly produced a stepladder, scaled it and pointed at Sakura and the others. "Kill those snotlicking sons of b[BLEEP]tches!" Venus shot a crackling, white hot crescent beam at the group, which Cressida blocked with the Kinamantine gauntlet protecting her right arm. Uranus' World shaking was batted back like a golf ball thanks to Vermellia using her Sniper-Scythe like a golf club, Mercury's Shine Aqua illusion was dispelled by Intern spinning her twin Validium blades at extremely high speed, and Paisley used her mental power to cancel out the effects of Neptune's mindbending Submarine Violin tide. "What the s[BLEEP]t?!" Ci-Ci screamed, "Who are these illegitmate s[BLEEP]ts from the future who would challenge my goddamn unstoppable force of superior destiny!?" "Who the f[BLEEP]k TALKS like that?!" Paisley yelled back in reply. "Do you have any idea how you sound?!" "I know who they are, Mistress!" Setsuna exclaimed. After Paisley had been forced to deflect Neptune's mental attack, she'd dropped the illusion of herself as Endymion from Pluto's mind. Scandalized, Pluto had quickly looked up the timelines of the quartet in the Time Corridor. She dashed over to CiCi and explained. "No no no no NO!" CiCi screeched. "GET RID OF THEM!" Snapping her fingers, she summoned forth four more henchmen, who Sakura immediately placed but the others didn't. "CobraWolf! Admiral Miller! Chris J.! Oronde! KILL THEM!" CiCi whispered something to them and waved them forward. "Sakura i am going to fight you, then we'll get married!" CobraWolf exclaimed, bounding towards her. "Then X-chan will respect me and I'll write stories all about it while we're on our honeymoon!" "NOT HER YOU SCROTE! THE KIDS!" CiCi Boomed. Chris J. slowly walked forward, carefully regarding the entire area, focusing his attention on the girl, Sakura, who was struggling with the Time gate. She was the child of Aino Minako, that special someone he had laboriously journeyed to meet after so many long years, making his way to her home in Japan, hoping to spend even a fraction of a moment's time with the woman who so captivated him, but in the end she had gone on to remain with Doctor Xadium and apparently given rise to this girl. While staring at her, he felt an emotion in his chest that stirred slightly, and emotion that he could perhaps name if he took a few moments to ruminate upon it, which he would now do. A struggle of a smile occurred on his face, but the depression in himself was like a giant filled with a terrible resolve. He slowly reached for the blade of his-- "JESUS MOTHER[BLEEP]ING CHRIST, WILL YOU MOVE!" CiCi roared as Chris J. just seemed to stand there, staring off into space while Cressida and others just ignored him. Oronde, for his part shuffled forward in a Torgo-like manner, mumbling "...will do... whta the master... says...8" "Who ARE these guys?" Cressida asking in disbelief, making a beeline for CiCi. "Guys who spent years causing trouble in Ten'Aino House!" Sakura yelled as some of the Elemental Senshi rose up and began attacking her. "They're silly, but they can be troublesome!" "My an' My army'll blow yew roight up de arse!!" Admiral Miller roared as he charged towards the quartet from out of nowhere, doing hsi best Russel Crowe imitation. "FOR THE GLORY OF BASTICH!" He slammed into Oronde, who tumbled into Chris J, who smacked into Cobrawolf, the four of them tipping over like dominoes and tacking Paisley, Vermellia, Cressida and Intern, sending them falling back into the Time door, and off the protective pathway-- the last sight they saw being Furuhata Unazuki swooping in with her borrowed powers coming to Sakura's aid, as well as CiCi screaming "REMEMBER YOUR ORDERS!" to her four Trollmen of the Apocalypse, just before piling in behind them to escape Unazuki. "Grab on!" Cressida yelled, extending a hand to Intern as they fell through time and space. Intern reached out for Vermellia, but the girl had already been dragged away into another portion of the vortex, with Paisley. Then, the world changed. | ||

[15:54] <@spiritflame> but... just sailor venus [15:54] * In the nick of time, ANGSTYPERSON flies out nowhere to make a MIRACLE SAVE, Glomping Cobrawolf and taking the explosion, sacrificing hir own body to have her ONE AND ONLY LOVE! [15:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [outside] The hell [15:54] * Sailor Cobra Moon [outside] cheers! "YES FINALLY MY ACCURSED MARRIAGE IS OVER! TIME TO CONQUER THE WORLD AND KILL X-SAMA [15:54] <Matsumi Kaze> ..... [15:55] <Ryan> I'm... just Awesome. [16:30] * Sailor Cobra Moon [outside] jumps into a time portal [15:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [outside] Quick! After it! [15:55] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte [outside] follows [15:55] * Vermellia X. Rosso [outside] too [15:55] * ANGSTYPERSON slowly reforms, though it may take years... for wherever there is internet... there will be... ANGST [15:55] <@spiritflame> and i have seen that foul-mouthed midget before [15:55] <@spiritflame> somewhere [15:55] * @spiritflame thinks back [15:55] *** Wolf [Lone_Wolf@Armored_Solutions.rr.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi2 [15:56] <Matsumi Kaze> it seemed to know I was an outer.. [15:56] <Ryan> That midget certainly amused me for a bit. [16:35] *** MEANWHILE, ELSEWHERE IN TIME [09:21] * Knight Nephrite walks in and promply stomps and the Hypno Toad, "Stupid little f[BLEEP]ker, that's enough!!" [09:22] * Hypno Toad is far too awesome to be delt in with a stomp! [09:22] <Hypno Toad> @________@ [09:22] * Mango-chan clings to Knight Nephrite, still clad in Panties, "Where's Vana? I want VANA! VANA'S MINE!' [09:22] * @The Intern and Cressida are behind Tuxedo Sofa. [09:22] <@The Intern> If I had to guess, we've moved back in time-- this would seem to be The HOTEL when it was still a house. [09:22] <golD_lux> Yeah in my time it's been preserved as a historic artifact, this is totally it. There was no HOTEL where I come from. [09:22] * @The Intern licks the chair. [09:22] <golD_lux> Eww gross what are you doing!? [09:22] * @The Intern tastes the residue on her tongue. [09:22] <@The Intern> Gods I'm going to need mouthwash. But excluding various utterly unsanitary substances, I place as somewhere in 2005... probably August thereof... and is it just me, or are they battling some kind of amphibian? [09:22] * Knight Nephrite unsheaths a sword then and runs Hypno Toad through [09:23] * Hypno Toad is ker-stabbed [09:23] <golD_lux> you can tell how old something is just by licking it? [09:23] <@The Intern> Yes? [09:23] <golD_lux> That's one talented tongue... [09:23] * @The Intern raises an eyebrow [09:23] * Just then, Chris J. enters the room. No one realizes that he has entered of course, because he is a man who moves through the world rarely noticed, even though he is plainly seen. A simple man, wearing a simple blue Hakama and Obi and white keikogi, he is a man who does not demand respect, but finds himself desirous of it in the eyes of others, perhaps to some inner shame. Nonetheless, he has come through the portals of time to hunt down the two women he saw floating through the Time Space gate, and he will deal with them. It is a pity, he reflected, that he would have to kill the two attractive young women-- in another life he would have enjoyed the sight of their smiles. Perhaps they would have made eye contact with him and smiled due to his presence, and not just the mere pretense of social grace; such a gesture would have certainly warmed his heart. But alas, fate had cruelly determined that this was not to be. He reached for one of his blades, with regret, but a grim certitude that his path, no matter how bloody, was the correct one. He advanced. [09:23] * whilst Chris J. was in the middle of his internalization, the two women had made their way to the kitchen of the house. He had lost sight of them. [09:23] * golD_lux has moved to: [ Kitchen ] [09:23] * @The Intern has moved to: [ Kitchen ] [09:23] <@The Intern> [Kitchen] I might be able to get us back to the present day HOTEL. Let me see your Vortex Manipulator. [09:23] * golD_lux [Kitchen] unstraps a devide she has cuffed to her forearm-- it's a Time Travel device used by Time Agents of the 51st century. [09:23] * @The Intern [Kitchen] checks it over with her sonic. adjusting some of the incredibly primitive mechanisms. [17:42] <@The Intern> [Kitchen] Okay, this should work, let's give it a try. [09:23] * @The Intern [Kitchen] puts her hand on Cressida's forearm. "Start it up." [09:23] * golD_lux [Kitchen] taps on the Votex Manipulator, an the world goes fuzzy [15:27] * golD_lux has moved back to the livingroom [15:27] * @The Intern has moved back to the livingroom [15:27] * @The Intern and Cressida end up in a secluded corner of the livingroom by Plant-kun. [15:27] * Plant-kun reaches out a tendril for Intern's bottom. [15:271] * @The Intern smacks it away [15:27] <@The Intern> what's with this plant?! [15:27] <golD_lux> It appreciates beauty :P [15:27] <@The Intern> - Like a Lech. - [15:27] *** Mango-chan has joined #suburbansenshi2 [15:27] <golD_lux> Looking at this, we've moved forward a day or two. [15:27] <@spiritflame> Irasshai Mango-chan [15:27] * Mango-chan frets! [15:27] <Furu> Eheh. Thanks, Q-san. [15:27] <Mango-chan> I'm dissapearing! [15:28] * Sailor Quinox hugs mango "I'll miss you mango" [15:28] <@Indigo> Going somewhere, Q? [15:28] <Furu> Mango-cha...WHAT?! [15:28] <@The Intern> What's going on with Mango? [15:28] <golD_lux> I don't think they can hear us over here. This house is famous for aural dead spots. [15:28] * @The Intern nods [15:29] * Chris J. walks slowly in the background, having spent three or so days exploring the vast interior of Ten'Aino house, mainly in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the vibrant and exciting Aino Minako, whose fresh-faced antics bring a ray of much-needed sunshine into the dark depths of his blackened, saddened heart. Unfortunately, as if in some sadistic curse, he only caught sight of her while she was "occupied" with her husband, further reinforcing the feelings of isolation and haunted loneliness that characterized his time on the mortal coil. Still, he was assigned a mission and he could complete it, and with the continual fracas that was the livingroom of Ten'Aino House providing the necessary background, he was certainly confident that he would be able to accomplish his goal with a minimum of undesired attention or fuss. Even so, if he was caught, he was armed-- and despite not being the most powerful fighter in the area, he was sure he could accomplish his goal before he was ended by the assembled heroes present. [15:29] * Mango-chan is hugged, "I'll miss you too! But I think I'm dying! EEEK! [15:29] <Sailor Quinox> I'm going to my vaction house near mt. fuji [15:29] * Mango-chan continues fretting [15:29] <@Indigo> Aaaaah, that [15:29] <@Indigo> Have fun. [15:30] <Mango-chan> I'm becomming Invisible! [15:30] * @The Intern scans Mango. "There appear to be significant temporal distortions affecting her..." [15:30] <golD_lux> What's causing it? [15:30] <Furu> Y-you can't be dying! You're heartless! [15:30] <@Indigo> ... [15:31] * Mango-chan falls again [15:31] <@Indigo> Hey, I think someone's f[BLEEP]king up time [15:31] * @The Intern looks to Cressida "could our presence be causing this?" [15:31] <golD_lux> You tell me, Nixie, you're the Time Lord. :P [15:32] <Furu> Well, what else is new? [15:32] <@Indigo> As in Mango's timeline thing [15:32] <@Indigo> She might've died at some earlier point [15:32] * Sailor Molybdenum Fledermaus remembers an episode of Quantum Leap that was a bit like this... [15:32] <Furu> Stupid space-time...thing. [15:33] <Furu> So, someone went to the past and killed her? [15:33] <@Indigo> Or she might've never left a place, like that alternative universe where Envy came from [15:33] * Chris J. Hears this exchange and nods in satisfaction-- it would seem that CiCi's ultimate objective was successfully realized and the repercussions were now being felt throughout all time and space, which meant her touch now spread throughout all of creation; he hoped that he too would be touched by her majesty, that he would be rid of the weight that hung around his soul like a steel albatross. To be touched! It was the highest form of desire that he felt, to be sure. To have actual physical contact, and the appreciation that came with that-- yes, yes he wanted that more than anything in the world. It was why he'd brought that small dog Mina into his life, a creature whose whole existence was wholly dependent on him, so it had no choice but to curry his favour and stay in his good graces.Was this the world CiCi was trying to fashion as well-- a world where fear and insecurity over her next moves would drive the masses into a kind of awestruck respect and adulation for her borne out of the hope that they would be spared the flames of her arbitrary caprice? [15:33] <Sailor Molybdenum Fledermaus> We have to stop Mango being framed for murder and executed back when she was a fighter pilot in America... [15:35] <@Indigo> ....or she might've never left that planet thing, wild guess [15:35] * Furu nods [15:35] <@The Intern> Cressida, I think this problem is larger than we suspected. [15:35] <golD_lux> Yeah. [15:35] * Mango-chan kinda just fades awayyy [15:35] <Furu> Well, obviously, we have to save her! [15:36] *** Mango-chan has quit IRC [15:36] * golD_lux gasps "she's gone!" [15:42] * Chris J. slowly circles around behind the Blonde girl with the wild, almost untamed hair. He is glad she doesn't notice him as he slowly withdraws his katana, moving ever closer for the kill. All it would take would be one strike in the center of her back, or a slash on the side of her pretty little neck and that would be the end of it. The end of her. And then the one with the brown hair would notice him, and probably attack him in some kind of need for revenge or self-defense, and then there would be that look in her eyes. The look of recognition. The look that indicated that, for once, he had registered in the mind of someone, even if it was an inscription upon their heart of hate borne by the gift of violence he was bestowing into their lives. It was a tragic fate, he lamented privately, but not altogether ironic. Where love would not find him, anger would, and he would become Known, and once Known, simultaneously shunned and yet immortalized, at least forever in the brown-haired girl's mind. Unless he managed to kill her too, in which case the burden of memory would fall upon yet another of the bystanders in the Livingroom of the house. For once it would not be another one of their heroic miracles that they had always performed in the nick of time, no. It would be a sudden, abject, complete and horrifying loss. Slowly, he raised the blade and moved to strike. [15:43] * @The Intern and Cressida made another time jump about 5 minutes ago while Chris J. was busy thinking. [15:43] <Chris J.> Well, s[BLEEP]t. [19:08] *** YET ELSEWHERE [13:52] <Matsumi Kaze> *burble burble* [13:53] * Candy giggles. [13:54] <LOVELYgirl> What are you two doing?

[13:58] <Candy> well not real bubbles that is :P [13:59] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Hot Springs] and Vermellia are soaking in some Hot Springs, having ended up in July 2008 somehow. They are a slight distance away from the others, far enough away so as not to be really noticeable amonst all the other springs visitors. [13:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Hot Springs] Any sign of that Cobrawolf moron? [13:59] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hot Springs] No yet... but it does feel good to take a break from things a bit and relax~ [13:59] <LOVELYgirl> Oh. [13:59] <LOVELYgirl> We should make some, then!

[14:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Hot Springs] sees an odd look on Vermellia's face. "What is it, kid?" [14:00] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Hot Springs] Sheesh don't call me kid I'm only a few years younger than you. *pouts* [14:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Hot Springs] Yes well compared to me you act like a 5 year old :P [14:00] <Vermellia X.

[14:02] <Matsumi Kaze> well that's good...hey any drinks around here? [14:03] <Matsumi Kaze> espcally in this hot spring [14:03] * Xanthippe points to her barrel of mead.

[14:06] <Yaijinden> Alive! [14:06] <@Darkness Kusanagi> Alive is excellent! [14:06] * Admiral Miller rises from the water of a nearby hot spring, leveling his sights at Darkness, focusing them. "Not for long, luvvie~" [14:06] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hot Springs] pops up behind Miller. "Hey Mister, whatchya doin'?" [14:06] * Admiral Miller spins around, only to get rabbit-punched in the face by Vermy [14:06] * Admiral Miller drops his rifle in the water. [14:06] * "No, not my Blastich Arms mega laser rifle!" he yells as Vermellia jams him the ribs with her Sniper-Scythe's handle [14:06] <Vermellia X. Rosso> - Nobody shoots my gramma! - [14:06] * Suddenly, Vermellia gets lifted bodily and flung over to the next spring, Sailor Cobrawolf looming like a classic B-movie monster! [14:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Hot Springs] I'm coming, Vermellia! [14:07] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Hot Springs] leaps for Cobrawolf, landing a punch squarely on hir jaw [14:07] * Cobrawolf releases Vermellia and swings a hammer at Paisley, who blocks with one of her Block Transfer Incantations, making a larger golden hammer. [14:07] * there is a minor thunderclap [14:09] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Hot Springs] hooks Miller with the crescent of her Scythe, hauling him to her, then switching the blade up so her jerks forward, then flips it so the gun barrel rests on his body-armor covered chest, FIRING. As he is hit, she lets him fly, then BOUNDS off a rock to catch his leg, and sails off into the air with him! [14:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> [Hot Springs] Cripes what is that idiot doing now?! [14:09] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte [Hot Springs] continues fighting with Sailor Cobrawolf [14:09] * Vermellia X. Rosso has moved to: [ Midair ] [14:10] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Midair] clambers up on Miller's flying body and bodysurfs him, collapsing down her Scythe to a a gun shape, pointing it at his face. [14:10] <Vermellia X. Rosso> [Midair] Why did you try to kill Gramma!? What's going on?! [14:10] * Admiral Miller chuckles. "Yer gram's just a domino,luv~" [14:10] * Admiral Miller activates BLASTICH Rocket boots and BLASTS them, changing course rapidly, THROWING Vermellia off [14:10] * Admiral Miller is away [14:10] * Vermellia X.

Rosso [Midair] FIRES again and AGAIN until she has control of her ascent, sailing into the air over Tokyo [14:11] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Midair] looks for all the world like a witch on a flatulent broomstick whose farts are being lit on fire. [20:04] * Vermellia X. Rosso [Midair] angles herself down to try and find Paise. [00:46] *** IN ANOTHER TIME [19:02] <Spamassassin Jade> Good Luck.

HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!! [19:09] * Cerulean is impacted, but reacts not; still clutching onto Akuri in Kamikaze mindset [19:09] * Furu falls back with Jasmine in top of him! [19:09] <Chaos Avatar> I want my money. I told you he was like me [19:09] * psYchO_saKi joins in the fun walking in the firestorm and picking off those trying to flee [19:09] * ...then she stops. [19:09] * psYchO_saKi stands in the middle of the firestorm, amists the chaos and falling buildings and screams and fire... and processes. Two signals. Temporally displaced. One close. One far. [19:09] * Dark Miracle sinks to the ground, pulling her arm, and the Solista Saber back....... [19:09] * Meruhesae is back [19:09] *** Chaos Avatar [destroyedsoul@the.end] has left #suburbansenshi2 (The fall of a human is glorious to behold) [19:09] <Solarchos> Dammit... [19:09] * Roomie Rantsom's Convoy meanwhile races to get to the Spamassassin hub as he sees buildings in he background fall, he notes other attacks, non-sol attacks. He snorts. [19:09] * @Wolfwood hands Avatar a fifty [19:09] * psYchO_saKi looks down, switches her gun to high explosive ammo and BLASTS a hole in the already weakened street [19:10] * psYchO_saKi drops into the flaming sewer. [19:10] <psYchO_saKi> (one is a Time Lord. Female. The other seems to be a Sailor Senshi with Venus energy....) [19:10] * psYchO_saKi cackles darkly, locking and loading, striding through the flames, eyes glowing red. [19:10] * psYchO_saKi hopes it's that b[BLEEP]ch Sakura Xadium Aino, she'll put an end to her once and for all and free herself of Eudial's goddamn prime directive. And there won't be any rei.bot to save her ass from the fire! [19:12] * psYchO_saKi strides forth, a demon in the dark. [19:14] * golD_lux [Sewer] lies washed up in a small drainfield, burnt and scorched, clothes torn and tattered, proud blonde mane of hair matted and disheveled, caked with the waste of humanity. [19:14] * Oronde... is pretty badly fcuked,..up.. * [19:17] * golD_lux [Sewer] can't move very well. Thanks to her unique constitution, impact damage did nothing to her, but the flames and energy really took it out of her. Her senshi-like healing factor works, but having no real access to her powers it's taking its sweet time. [00:17] * ...Time she doesn't have. [19:18] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ Well, well. What do we have here~? ♡ [19:18] * psYchO_saKi scans the blonde, kicking Oronde to the side like an afterthought. [19:19] <psYchO_saKi> Hmm. Scan Results: One Quarter Time Lord, Half Human, part Venusian. [19:19] <psYchO_saKi> Not Sakura. [19:19] * psYchO_saKi kneels and pushes the girl over, running a finger over her bleeding lips and placing it on her tongue, tasting, and relishing. [19:19] * psYchO_saKi scans the DNA in the blood directly via this method. [19:20] <psYchO_saKi> Parents: Sakura Xadium Aino... and... ichiro Oogami. How interesting. And the DNA is cross dimensional... [19:20] * psYchO_saKi tilts her head. One parent from this timeline... the other not. [19:21] <psYchO_saKi> ♫ What an interesting little doll you are~ ♫ [19:21] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ All the more Fun to BREAK! HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ♡ [19:22] * psYchO_saKi fires a shot at Cressida point blank between the eyes [19:23] * golD_lux [Sewer] manages to get up a kinamantine gauntlet to block the shot, it ricochets, and the kinetic energy rebounds into Cressida, giving her a much needed jolt of energy [19:23] <psYchO_saKi> - NO! - [19:24] * psYchO_saKi is ENRAGED that the shot didn't hit home! [19:25] * psYchO_saKi makes a fist and uses her metal control to YANK the girl up by her gauntlets and SMASH her into the side walls of the sewer [19:25] * golD_lux [Sewer] feels the hit, and the rebound of energy into her body. Her hair starts to glow a little [19:26] * psYchO_saKi registers the power increase [19:26] <psYchO_saKi> What the f[BLEEP]k?! [19:26] <psYchO_saKi> Her power level's rising?! [19:26] ☼ Scouter indicates golD_lux has HP level of 500! [19:26] ☼ Scouter indicates golD_lux has HP level of 700! [19:26] ☼ Scouter indicates golD_lux has HP level of 900! [19:27] * golD_lux [Sewer] grins "I like it rough, Saki~ do it again~" [19:27] * psYchO_saKi chuckles. "No such luck, you little s[BLEEP]t~ [19:28] * psYchO_saKi presses in close, pulling out a jagged shard of glass from under her dress, DRIVING it into Cressida's side [19:28] * golD_lux [Sewer] 's eyes widened and she went into immediate shock, hanging int he air like a broken doll [19:29] <psYchO_saKi> Not so good when you get _penetrated_, eh~? At least your mother had good sense to armor herself~ [19:29] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ I'm gonna take my time with you~ ♡ [19:29] * psYchO_saKi twists the knife a little, expecting to hear a whimper or scream. But it's no good the girl is already passed out. [19:30] * psYchO_saKi just drops her in the filthy water. Infection would the least of her worries soon. [19:30] * psYchO_saKi watches her blood mix with the sewer water [19:32] * psYchO_saKi slaps her around a little, trying to wake her up, each slap giving Cressida back a tiny jolt of power, but not enough to be useful in combat. [00:36] *** Hours pass [00:37] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] floats in a pool, on a rubber raft, sipping a margarita. [00:38] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] stares up at the clear blue sky. It's so very peaceful. [00:41] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] could stay here forever. All the place needed were some cute guys or girls to keep her company. But there was no one. [00:42] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] (Man, this is so relaxing. How did I get here again?) [00:44] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] sits up, wearing a nice one-piece bathing suit, albeit with a tear in the abdomen. [00:46] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] feels the tear and winces. Her skin doesn't look bruised, but goddamn it hurts to touch. [00:47] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Finally back with us, I see. [00:47] * // J_Daito // [Dreamscape] is sitting on the back of a Dolphin what the f[BLEEP]k. [00:49] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] blinks. By the clothing and his hair, Cressida recognized the Jedite before her as the one from her time. "Uncle Jed", as she used to call him. The man who'd help train her with fighting when rei.bot was unavailable. [00:49] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] Where are we, Uncle Jed? [00:49] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You tell me. This is your dream. [00:50] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] Dream? Hah, right. There's no one else here but us. [00:50] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] And I pushed myself in. So what does that tell you? [00:50] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] I dunno, what, Mr. Freud? [00:50] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] That you're floating down the river styx. [00:51] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] What are you-- [00:51] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] pauses, as she feels something in her mouth. A coin. Both sides blank. [00:51] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] What the-- when did this... [00:51] *** The Scene shifts to a hellish black wasteland, filled with tar, fire and cries of pain [00:52] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You're dying. And it's such a shame! i was looking forward to seeing you develop. [00:52] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] crosses her arms over her chest. "Pervert" :P [00:53] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Not like that-- Well, maybe not totally like that. [00:55] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] But you were Sneaky Future Girl's child. Trained by rei.bot, by me. Sparring every day with he speed demon that is your cousin. [00:56] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] And you get done in by a piece of glass. A shank. [00:57] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] ... [00:57] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] the Venus senshi who fights with her fists. [00:58] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] There's no shame in that! [00:58] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Oh, you're devastating. If you can touch your enemy. [00:59] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You're billy club no senshi-- useless at range. [00:59] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] HEY. I've tried! I've tried to unlock--- [00:59] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] doubles over, wheezing [00:59] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Ooh, I think you may have lost a of blood there. Our conversation may not last a lot longer! [01:00] <golD_lux> nnngh... [01:00] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] I've tried everything I can... but I can't bring out... the Venus attacks... [01:00] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] I'm... not like Mom... or granma... [01:04] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You can't bring them out because you're trying to copy someone else's gimmick. [01:04] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] Huh? [01:04] * // J_Daito // [Dreamscape] picks his nose. [01:05] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You can fight. You love the thrill of it. But you don't seek it out. You're a Vegan. [01:05] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You care about people and their little lives. [01:06] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] But not so much... your own. [01:06] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] ... [01:06] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You jumped right into that Dragon Slave to protect your grandfather and his friends. [01:07] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] No thoughts to the people you'd leave behind. [01:07] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] pictures Vermella, Mom, Ike and Intern [01:07] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] I did what I had to do... [01:08] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] For others. To be a hero. Because it's expected of you. [01:08] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE EXPECTING THINGS OF ME! [01:08] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Because I'm an a[BLEEP]le. [01:09] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Of course I want to see what a Goddess of Battle you'd become. It scratches one of my particular itches. [01:09] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Also, some pride in knowing "I shaped that." [01:09] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] feels weaker [01:10] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] Well... sorry to let you down... [01:12] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Me? [01:12] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] What about yourself? [01:13] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] What have you done for yourself? [01:13] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Because you wanted to? [01:14] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] When you were 16 a Time Agent got killed saving your life. You picked up his investigation to pay him back. You took a job there to keep paying him back. You came back to the 21st century to back up your cousin and your uncle. [01:15] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] You don't eat the animals because you feel bad for them. [01:15] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] But what do you feel for yourself? [01:15] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] ... [01:16] <golD_lux> [Dreamscape] I don't understand... [01:16] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] That's just the problem with you goddamn heroes. [01:16] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] So self-sacrificing. [01:17] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] And you, the third generation. You've literally embodied that. You have sacrificed your self. You give all of yourself and just coast along in life, waiting for more chances to serve. [01:19] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Are you just born to fight and die? Sacrificed for a Hero's Narrative? [01:20] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] So ready to die, but so afraid to live. [01:25] <// J_Daito //> [Dreamscape] Are you going to be a girl who quivers in a corner and lets death take her, or are you going to stand up, take charge of your destiny and in the finest tradition of your clan, punch death in the nethers and CHOOSE LIFE?! [01:26] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] takes the blank coin from her mouth [01:26] *** golD_lux flips a coin into the air and catches it, heads side up [01:26] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] catches it, and now sees a face in it. Her own. [01:27] * golD_lux [Dreamscape] forces herself to sit up, crouched now, a slow grin spreading across her face. [01:27] <golD_lux> Thanks Uncle Jed. [01:28] *** // J_Daito // [Jed@dialup666.darkkingdom.co.jp] has quit IRC (What are you talking about, I'm just a figment of your imagination.)

[01:29] * psYchO_saKi cackles [01:29] * golD_lux punches her wound again, gritting her teeth and screaming in pain [01:29] <psYchO_saKi> Wow, You are a masochist~ [01:29] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ I approve~ ♡ [01:31] * golD_lux punches again, and again, and again, the wall behind her cracking as she literally starts driving herself into it [01:31] <psYchO_saKi> Ho ho~ trying to build up energy~? Well I won't allow it~! [01:31] * psYchO_saKi runs at her with the glass again [01:32] * golD_lux takes her time this time. Using Observation Haki to sense the incoming attack, and dodge the glass, instead letting the android bodycheck her with all those tons of weight, sending them both into the wall, the debris collapsing on them both. [01:33] * psYchO_saKi EXPLODES of the rubble [01:33] * golD_lux DOES TOO [01:34] * golD_lux 's hair is glowing a bright gold, golden fire radiating from it, her fists also wafting off golden energy; her eyes are also flashing gold and red [01:34] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ ho ho~ gone super saiyan, have we~ ♡ [01:34] * psYchO_saKi FIRES off several high-velocity explosive rounds at Cressida [01:35] * golD_lux SPINKICKS one out of the way, PUNCHES another so that it detonates in front of her fist, and then PUNCHES at the air in front of another bullet, golden flames from her fist creating a plasma compression shockwave that causes the bullet to explode away from her [01:35] <psYchO_saKi> .... [01:36] * golD_lux stands, the golden light of Venus surrounding her, forming an inferno of light that could be mistaken for fire. Its heat cauterizes her wound, which is already starting to fade [01:36] ☼ Scouter indicates golD_lux has HP level of 7000! [01:36] ☼ Scouter indicates golD_lux has HP level of 8000!

[01:38] * golD_lux grins, pulling one arm back [01:38] <golD_lux> ♡ We'll laugh about this some day, Saki~ ♡ [01:38] <psYchO_saKi> .... [01:39] * golD_lux shakes her arm to c[BLEEP]k and load the gauntlet on her arm [01:40] * golD_lux PUNCHES FORWARD and HITS the air with her fist and her aura, creating an EXPLOSIVE WAVE, firing off a full barrage from her gauntlets as well! [01:40] <psYchO_saKi> O_o [01:41] * psYchO_saKi is BLASTED BACK by the sheer power, crashing up through the street and zooming into the night sky, her body disintegrating as she goes. [01:41] *** psYchO_saKi has quit IRC (GOD DAMMIT!!! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS ONE DAY!!) [01:42] * golD_lux leaps through the hole Saki left, tossing her hair and shaking it out to its usual wild mane. [01:42] * golD_lux looks back down into the hole. [01:42] * Oronde treis... to get away... 8 [01:43] * golD_lux throws a rock at him, knocking him out. [01:43] <golD_lux> Nah-ah. [01:43] * golD_lux jumps back down and collects him. [01:45] * golD_lux then hits street level and sees it's past midnight. Construction crews are busy repairing the damage to Azabu-Juuban. [01:45] <golD_lux> ...Neminix! [01:45] * golD_lux runs to the Bunker, where she finds The Intern sleeping, looking miserable. [01:46] * golD_lux taps her on the shoulder. "Hey, sleepyhead! Time to go!" [01:46] * @The Intern [the Bunker] wakes, and can't believe what she's seeing! [01:46] <@The Intern> [The Bunker] Cressida?!

[01:47] * @The Intern [Azabu Juuban street] laughs [01:47] <@The Intern> [Azabu Juuban street] How did you-- are you? [01:48] * golD_lux thumbs her nose and chuckles. "Never mind that. We have our first prisoner of war." [01:48] * golD_lux nods to Oronde. [01:48] <@The Intern> [Azabu Juuban street] We should take him back to the HOTE-- to Ten'Aino House. [01:49] <golD_lux> Right. [01:52] * @The Intern walks into the Livingroom, which is empty as Yaijinden is currently in Tomoe's lab with Akuri, doing analysis on her. [01:53] * golD_lux puts Oronde on Venus Sofa. [01:53] <golD_lux> So, Oronde... what was the whole deal back there trying to stop Gran--- Xadium from raising that barrier? [01:54] * Oronde laughs.8 [01:54] <Oronde> you know... notheing...

Rosso [Shadow Plane] aims the barrel of her scythe down and the ground and FIRES, rocket-jumping out of the way [20:07] * -Vermellia X.

[20:07] <-The Actuary> (It's never done this before!?) [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] STOP BEING A B[BLEEP]CH! [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] * -The Actuary snarls, showing a fang [20:07] <-The Actuary> A *B[BLEEP]CH*?! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M PREPARING TO DO AND YOU THINK THE WORD b[BLEEP]ch EVEN COMES CLOSE TO DESCRIBING WHAT I AM?! [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I HAVE NO IDEA WHA--- (Oh S[BLEEP]T THIS IS WHEN SHE FIRST ARRIVED!!!) [20:07] <-The Actuary> I AM.... A *MONSTER!* [20:07] * -The Actuary ROARS And leaps for RED, claws out [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER! YOU'RE JUST STUBBORN AND STUPID AND PRONE TO OVERKILL!

Rosso> [Shadow Plane] NO YOU WON'T YOU F[BLEEP]KING LIAR! [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] * -Vermellia X. Rosso [Shadow Plane] is huffing, bent halfway over, looking very, VERY angry [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] The only monster in this room is me. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> - You like to pretend you're a demon of the dark, ruthless and unfeeling... - [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> - But that's not who you are inside! - [20:07] <-The Actuary> ...the HELL do you know about me. [20:07] * -Vermellia X. Rosso [Shadow Plane] grins, but it's a grim one [20:07] * -Vermellia X.

Rosso> - Oh yeah. - [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> - You heard me. - [20:07] * -The Actuary backs up half a step, the look in this girl's eyes... but how could she know? Only Sakura Knows...

[20:07] <-The Actuary> you're not... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> - Oh I'm not you. - [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> - Look at ya, tryin' to put the pieces together. It's not often the mighty Actuary encounters something she can't calculate. - [20:07] <-The Actuary> There's not... enough... data... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Lemme tell you something from personal experience. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] It's easy to kill people from a distance. To push a button or issue a command that sends soldiers out to fight and do the killin' for ya. It becomes safe, like a video game. But when you're out there, tooth and claw with the enemy, cutting them down, getting soaked in their blood... [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I know why you're here. And what you wanna do. And why. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Is it truly necessary? You think it is. You're gonna end up hurting a lot of people. [20:07] <-The Actuary> I know that. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Then don't do it. [20:07] <-The Actuary> I won't be deterred. [20:07] * -The Actuary looks stern again, her momentary surprise wearing off. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I know. Once you've got your hearts set on somethin', you see it through. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Thinking you'll just take the consequences and suffer if you have to later. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] (How do I tell her that what she did will come to nothing...) [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] (I can't... but maybe...) [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Noriko. Right now, you have no respect for the people you see as obstacles in your way. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] You're gonna roll right over them, no f[BLEEP]ks given, no quarter, like ya always do. [20:07] <-The Actuary> I'm efficient. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] You're a jackass. [20:07] <-The Actuary> Who are YOU to lecture me. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Someone who ran crying though the night with a knife killing murderers at age 7. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Someone who did way more harm than you've ever done right now in your sorry little sheltered life. [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I'm someone who lost everything for so long. You're someone who's gonna hurt your friends for something you won't lose,just because you want to make a sure bet on a future. [20:07] <-The Actuary> They're not my friends. And after I'm done they will be my enemies. [20:07] <-The Actuary> I don't have friends. [20:07] <-The Actuary> All I need is family. [20:07] * -Vermellia X. Rosso [Shadow Plane] THROWS down her scythe. [20:07] <-The Actuary> .... [20:07] * -The Actuary narrows her eyes to see if this is a trap... but the emotion in that girl's eyes cannot be denied... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] (F[BLEEP]k it.) [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] then as family. [20:07] <-The Actuary> ......................... [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I'm telling ya. I'm beggin' ya. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] There's gonna be a day, long after this time. When you'll meet those people again. The ones you don't consider friends. The ones who'll hate you for what you're about to do. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] And you'll have a chance... to either continue being the haughty self that you are now, so sure that you can make it just you against the world--- or you can bow your head and apologize. [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] <-The Actuary> There's no apology that will fix this. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] Words alone, nope. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] But you can help the people you're gonna hurt. And it'll help you, too. [20:07] <-The Actuary> ...Who _are_ you. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] I can't tell you. But if you listen to me, we'll meet again someday ^^ [20:07] <-The Actuary> I don't think there will ever be forgiveness for the sin I'm about to commit. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] And again, that's where you underestimate the quality of the folks you're dealin' with. One day you may even call them "friend". [20:07] <-The Actuary> ... [20:07] * -The Actuary has to go... if she keeps talking to this strange girl she's going to lose her resolve.. [20:07] * -The Actuary abruptly turns and exits the shadow plane. [20:07] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] fffffffff [20:07] * @S.X. Aino notes Shinji's inflatable Lara Croft has been damaged beyond repair [20:08] * @Dr_Xadium hugs Darkness-chan and watches this [20:08] <Solarchos> Sakura - He's gonna be REALLY disappointed about that. [20:08] <@Shinji Ikari> Eh, I've already had the real Lara a few times. [20:08] * @S.X. Aino is away: I just won't tell him [20:08] * Darkness watches this, staying fairly calm [20:08] * -Cobrawolf watches X-sama and Darkness from the kitchen... [20:08] * -Cobrawolf saw sakura-chan here earlie and wants to propose to her but has to keep business in mind.. [20:08] <Solarchos> Great. New threat. Now I've gotta figure out how...or even IF...I can figure out a defense. ~_~;;; [20:09] <@Dr_Xadium> Whoever she is, she's gone now. [20:09] * @Dr_Xadium hugs Darkness-chan closely [20:09] <Darkness> Well, that was pointless. [20:09] <@Dr_Xadium> Perhaps it was an introduction? [20:09] <Solarchos> Xadium - She's gone. For the moment. [20:10] <Darkness> Even then. [20:10] <-The Actuary> Oh wait. [20:10] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> [Shadow Plane] (Arrgh she's back..) [20:10] * Solarchos feels the need to try and help Sakura. [20:10] <-The Actuary> One last thing to do. [20:10] <-The Actuary> Where is the abomination? [20:10] * Darkness resists the urge to laugh at the Actuary [20:10] <Solarchos> Abomination? [20:10] <@Dr_Xadium> The what? [20:11] <-The Actuary> hino rei.bot [20:11] * @spiritflame is here [20:11] * -Cobrawolf needs to strike but not while rei.bot is there... [20:11] <Solarchos> BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!! [20:11] * -The Actuary walks up to the validium construct. [20:11] <-The Actuary> You there, you have the power. [20:11] * Darkness bites her finger... no laughing... common no laughing... [20:12] * @spiritflame regards this actuary impassively [20:12] <-The Actuary> Register me to this place. [20:12] <@spiritflame> why should i do that [20:12] * -Vermellia X. Rosso [Shadow Plane] watches this... fascinated at seeing her mom this young, but then she thinks she sees someone else... [20:12] * -Cobrawolf is preparing to henshin into its final form! [20:12] <@Shinji Ikari> I'd totally do that. [20:12] <@Shinji Ikari> Because I'm Earth-2 Shinji! [20:13] * -The Actuary narrows her eyes darkly [20:13] <Darkness> Ikari go to your party [20:13] <-The Actuary> You will register me. And you *will not* interfere with my purpose here. [20:13] * -Cobrawolf can't wait any more... [20:13] * @spiritflame matches the actuary's gaze [20:13] * Solarchos stays out of this. [20:13] <@spiritflame> ... [20:13] <-The Actuary> ... [20:13] * @spiritflame sets mode +r to The Actuary [20:14] <The Actuary> Good. [20:14] <Solarchos> Huh? rei.bot? [20:14] * The Actuary spins on her heels curtly, efficiently, and walks away. [20:14] * -Cobrawolf prepares to STRIKE! [20:14] * -Vermellia X. Rosso [Shadow Plane] BLURS out of the shadows and TACKLES Cobrawolf, pushing it into the Shadow Realm and then back out to the backyard of the house! [20:14] * The Actuary senses the intraplanar movement and heads out to the backyard. [20:15] <Darkness> Well... this is a twist [20:15] <@Dr_Xadium> That's never happened before. [20:16] <Solarchos> Great. Some new threat none of us can even help out against. Dammit. ~_~;; [20:16] * @Dr_Xadium shakes his head. "For now, we can but watch." [20:16] * @Dr_Xadium hugs Darkness-chan softly. [20:16] <Darkness> I swear, one problem ends and another begins, don't we get a break? [20:16] * -Vermellia X. Rosso faces down Cobrawolf, which is in its ultimate Shogun Sailor Bulls[BLEEP]t mode or whatever the hell [20:16] * The Actuary sees Red again, and a creature she vaguely remembers reading about [20:16] <The Actuary> You there. It sounds like you need a MonGooseTiger :P [20:16] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> Yeah well there aren't any around here yet! So it's just me!! [20:17] * -Vermellia X. Rosso unsnaps her Sniper-Scythe and rams the tip into the ground to stabilize it, and loads some flechette rounds [20:17] <The Actuary> You mean *us*. [20:17] * The Actuary withdraws Vindicator from its sheath. "Why is he here?" [20:17] <-Vermellia X. Rosso> I don't know... but he was getting awful close to gr--- your mom and dad!

[20:56] * The Actuary 's eyes widen as she makes an educated guess. The only one that works, really. [20:56] * The Actuary cannot see how it would ever be possible, however. [20:57] <The Actuary> (unless what she said is true) [20:58] * The Actuary gets an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach. One of panic. [20:59] * The Actuary has only ever felt this way when it came to her family.

[21:02] * Someone approaches behind The Actuary. "Noriko. I got this."

[21:04] * -Paisley Pythia Peinforte squats down beside Vermellia and puts her hands over her, a golden, hex-shaped barrier fanning out over the girl's body.

[00:05] * ::Vermellia X. Rosso 's left ear twitches. "Hey, I hear people coming in, we gotta hide!" [18:01] <::Chris_J> * walks in the room slowly, but confidently. Actually he had been there for hours, but as was his fate in life, no one had noticed him-- certainly not the four girls chatting amongst themselves in the corner. Girls never seemed to noticed him, which is why he was privately amazed that Chibi-Chibi had paid attention to him-- but then again she resembled more of a chainsmoking grizzled old man than a girl, so that probably explained the unexpected recognition. Still, it was a simple matter for him to palm the Golden Crystal from Paisley Pythia Peinforte's hand, as she, like the others, did not even seem capable of seeing him. It was their loss, he consoled himself, in more ways that one as he slid the crystal into the folds of his Kimono and silently made his way away from them, mingling effortlessly with the incoming midnight crowd of Ten'Aino House, none of whom could be bothered to pay him any mind either. With deliberate pace, he at once cursed and celebrated his destined anonymity and melted into the crowd, alone in a sea of many... always alone. Painfully alone. Tragically alone. [00:05] <::Adam> Gah... my heart won't stop beating... [00:08] <::YingGirl> *sweatdrops* Oh Sephy-kun! Give me back my fricken black materia...I have to screw up the time continunaty, which will probably screwtinize the furtue and the present as worse as the Bush admistation if I'm ever gonna get that Golden Crystal... [00:10] <::Adam> Hey Ying... [00:10] <::YingGirl> And apparently, the black materia can do that with ease, even though it means that the timelines & realities of TGTN & Sub. Senshi will eventually be f[BLEEP]ed royally from using the Black Materia. [00:11] <::YingGirl> *still dressed up as Yuffie* So come on, we know you love screwing up timelines and realities even more than Chibi Usa want to screw her daddy. [00:13] <::YingGirl> Please Sephy-kun, gimmie the black materia to screwtinize time! PLEASE?!!! [00:14] <::kevryn> <-- WTF are you talking about, you can't sing, Haruka? what's all these albums, then? [00:15] <::kevryn> ... and once again I am way to late in the conversation. [00:16] <::kevryn> I need to go to bed, I\'m just too damn slow tonight. [00:16] * ::Paisley Pythia Peinforte gets wrapped up in whatever melodrama's going on over there, and then flexes her hand, realizing the Golden Crystal isn't there! [00:17] <::YingGirl> Or become an insomic...plus the Black Materia is the only thing that can screwtizine Xadium's safe, but it means TGTN & Sub. Senshi will end up mingling because of the corrupted black materia power of f[BLEEP]ing around with time realities. [00:17] * ::golD_lux sees the look on her face "What is it, Paise?" [01:22] <::chibichibi> chibi [01:22] * ::Vermellia X. Rosso POINTS [01:22] <::Vermellia X.

[01:22] <::Chris_J> * calmly makes his way to Mistress Ci-Ci and places the Golden Crystal in her hand, wishing her well even as she takes her cigar and stubs it in his hand, bring his senses to a fine point of sharp focus as the pain coarses through his system, reminding him harshly of the pain inherent in any human relationship-- still, it was a sensation given to him by another and for that he was grateful, so very grateful. It was a memory he would treasure forever. Silently, he wished Chibi-Chibi well and sent her on her way to find whatever manifest destiny she so greatly desired. It made him sad that he wouldn't be there to witness the ultimate moment of her triumphant revenge, but then he knew that knowing, inside, that he had a part in changing the face of the future was more than enough for him. Smiling, he activates a time displacement portal and steps through. [01:22] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> OH NO YOU DON'T! [01:23] * ::Paisley Pythia Peinforte GRABS VERMELLIA [01:23] <::Vermellia X.

[23:31] <@The Intern> (I can never look at him the same way again) [23:31] <::Chris_J> * does not understand why the girls threw the short one at him. Maybe they were trying to get her interested in him for dating purposes? He was sure that wouldn't work, however, since she seemed prone to carrying around a very large, very powerful weapon, and he privately despised such a blatantly lewd display of power. It stood in too great contrast to his simple method of carrying only a simple Katana and wakizashi. Nobler weapons for a nobler age. Still, as he watched the battle unfolding in the yard, he knew he had to get going. Victory wasn't assured yet. Thankfully, as usual, no one noticed him, as was typical for his life. [23:31] * // J_Daito // leaps forward to catch her, and sails down to the yard [23:31] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- pulls herself back onto the roof where she was hanging [23:32] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- spins and unleashes a space turbulence attqwck into the yeard [23:32] <::Solarchos> ( whips out two knives...both are sharp as scalpels and one has a 10-inch blade...charges after Haruka ) [23:32] <::Jup.Knight> *Takes out Sword of Jupiter(katana)* [23:32] * // J_Daito // puts up a temp, barrier [23:32] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- turns and fires a space turbuilence at Solar [23:33] * Cést_la_V pulls herself as close as she can [23:33] <::Solarchos> ( begins stabbing and slashing at Haruka...ambidextrous-style...one knife to cut while the other is used to parry ) [23:33] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> W T F is tyour damn POROBLEM [23:33] <::Jup.Knight> Oh yeah a sword fight!

He would go after the girls to finish them off, but they're running about very helter-skelter and it would probably be wiser to wait until matters calmed down some and he could encounter them all as a group and finish them off in one decisive stroke, which was so unlike the notoriously-long winded methods these "magical" girls employed, which he had always personally found hightly impractical. He valued the virtues of simplicity, precision and concision in combat.

Staring at the two in combat, he noticed that he was, once again, not noticed. Sighing, he elected to continue to watch this nonsense for a while longer-- after all, what did any of it matter?

[23:52] <guest_Jeruka> *merely catches it in her gloved hand and crushes it. [23:52] <::Chris_J> * did not know when or how it had occured-- possibly during the fusion-- but he had been crushed by Jeruka's foot when the gestalt being had come into existence and then had been ground up a bit more when Jeruka stepped forward to crush whatever had been thrown at hir. It was extemely painful, he reflected, and it was possible also that had been mortally wounded. Was this really true? Could this be the end? No. It was not. The end had apaprently occured the moment he had been stepped on, and he was only now re [23:52] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?! [23:52] <::golD_lux> YESOH MY GOD JERUKA THAT IS AMAZING [23:52] <@The Intern> ...And Jeruka's energy field is what's going to cause us to shift! [23:52] <::Vermellia X.

[01:49] * FireFly_9 's pillow mountain is knocked free [01:49] <::YingGirl> Hm. I doubt it. But in order for her to gain my respect...I must kill myself to repent for showing weakness in front of her by asking for her aid. [01:49] * ::Paisley Pythia Peinforte and the others have arrived at a strange scene. [01:49] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> what fresh hell is this? [01:49] <::Zoi-chan> What the hell did you say to him, anyhow? [01:49] * FireFly_9 makes her way into the other room and assimilates more pillows from the couch [01:50] * FireFly_9 's pillow mountain is now totally soundproof [01:50] <// J_Daito //> ahh, damn I love infomercials. [01:50] <::YingGirl> ........I said nothing. I just hate being complicated... [01:50] <::Wolfwood> I think I can...persuade her...to set you free [01:50] * // J_Daito // leans back to relax [01:51] * // J_Daito // does not notice the lack of a pillow [01:51] <::Zoi-chan> Can you we discuss this in private, then? I promise I won't yell or anything. ^_^ [01:51] * // J_Daito // sits up with a start [01:51] <// J_Daito //> GAH! YOUMA! [01:51] <::Wolfwood> you'll never guess where I am...and who I have at the end of my knife... [01:51] <::YingGirl> ...My death is my freedom. I'll become a sailor soldier, being revived by her... [01:51] * // J_Daito // feels the stomach pains from before [01:52] * // J_Daito // makes for the crapper puking all the way [01:52] * FireFly_9 is finally asleep [01:52] <::Wolfwood> oh I don't think it'll come to that....will it queenie? [01:52] <::golD_lux> wait a sec what... where the hell are Wolfwood and Ying?! [01:52] * @The Intern frantically triangulates [01:52] <@The Intern> The transmission source seems to be coming from... the moon? Crystal Tokyo?! [01:52] <::YingGirl> Yes. That's why she wants me to die...but my sword and powers keep on stopping me or reviving me.. [01:53] <::Wolfwood> now...now sir...don\\\ \\\\\\\\ \\\\'t do anything stupid [01:54] <::YingGirl> *looks at Wolfwood* What do you want? Solrchaos wants to protect me...but he's just using me to get my sword. [01:54] <::YingGirl> Sir? YOU THINK I'M A FAG IN THIS SKIRT?!!! [01:55] <::Serenity> i\'m sure we can come to some...agreement ..if you lower that bone knife.... [01:55] <::YingGirl> *glares* [01:55] <::Wolfwood> not a chance sweetheart... [01:56] <::YingGirl> Wolf...what the hell? [01:56] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> is Wolfwood trying to KILL Queen Serenity?! [01:56] <::Vermellia X. Rosso> What what WHAAAAAAAT this makes no sense MIND ASPLODE!!! [01:56] <@The Intern> This is from before the time Serenity left to go back to the past! [01:56] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But why's he doing it, it makes no sense!! [01:56] <::golD_lux> according to some histories, there was a period when Queen Serenity apparently went mad with power, using the Silver Crystal to mindwipe people and sending them off to Nemesis, and that eventually lead to the Black Moon invasion of Earth. [01:56] <::golD_lux> Grandma always said there was more to the story than that, but never said more. She _also_ said that at some point YingGirl was-- or thought herself, anyway-- a battle thrall of the Queen. [01:56] <::Vermellia X. Rosso> do you think Wolfwood's trying to free Ying? [01:56] <::YingGirl> Wolf...what the hell? [01:56] <::Wolfwood> funny thing,Usa's crystal key...not very well taken care of... [01:57] <::YingGirl> Wolf...what are you doing? *begins to draw out her sword...that has a strange resemblance to voltron's sword* [01:57] <::YingGirl> Hands off the queen... [01:57] <::Serenity> please...don't kill me... [01:58] <::Serenity> i'll give you whatever you want [01:58] <::YingGirl> *she dashes towards Wolfwood, using the sword to knock him off the queen* [01:59] <::Wolfwood> then set this b[BLEEP]h free from your little curse,and i'll kindly take the shiv away from your neck [01:59] <::YingGirl> *stops, looking around* What the?? [01:59] <::Serenity> allright,yes...s he's free...just don't kill me [02:00] <::YingGirl> *appears behind Wolfwood, pointing the sword at his back* Off our Queen... [02:00] <::Wolfwood> all your guards...all your advanced tech...you people think you're invincible... [02:01] <::YingGirl> *she raises her sword, sending an attack onto Wolfwood from behind him* [02:01] <::Serenity> sigh...Ying...I set you free of your curse.. [02:01] <::YingGirl> OFF OUR QUEEN!!! *her eyes goes red as she attacks Wolfwood with the sword* [00:35] * @The Intern 's eyes go wide, she can feel a tingling in her whole body... like the universe is moving around her... that events are aligning... it's a feeling impossible to explain to humans. [02:01] <@The Intern> Paisley, Vermellia, Cressida, WE HAVE TO GO NOW! [02:02] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Go? What the hell do you mean, Intern?! [02:02] <@The Intern> No time to explain! [02:02] <::Wolfwood> don't...or I slit this c[BLEEP]t's throat.... [02:03] <::YingGirl> I'll paint the walls with his blood, your highness! *unleashes a large fireball at Wolfwood* [02:03] <::Wolfwood> you know i'd do it too...SO DON'T F[BLEEP] WITH ME [02:03] <@The Intern> if we stay here we are going to get locked into a fixed point in time! [02:03] <::Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I can open a portal but it'll take time! [02:03] <@The Intern> there's no time! [02:03] * @The Intern DASHES with the others to Xadium's Mountain Dew Vending Machine TARDIS [02:04] <::Wolfwood> (ducks fireball) [02:04] <::YingGirl> You'll die....now. *points her sword at him* [02:04] <::Wolfwood> SHE JUST SET YOU FREE YOU STUPID WHORE!!! [02:04] * @The Intern uses her key to the TARDIS, which works because even though she won't take over the TARDIS for another decade, it exists in all points in time simultaneously and-- oh, nevermind. [02:04] * @The Intern throws open the door and runs in with the others [02:06] <::golD_lux> Wait! My grandparents might be in there--- erm... making things happen! [02:06] <::Wolfwood> wake the f[BLEEP] up for christs sake [02:06] <::sniper30xx> looks through her scope [02:06] * @The Intern has ZERO TIME for human taboos and just SLAMS her hand down on the console making emergency contact with the telepathic circuits, the interior of TARDIS flickering and changing to the refit version of 10 years' hence, doors slamming shut, walls going up to trap Xadium and Minako inside, safely away from the console room. [02:06] <::Serenity> do what he says...PLEASE! [02:06] <::sniper30xx> adjusts the transplanetary rifle .001 arc seconds [02:06] * @The Intern HITS Demateralize, determined to get the TARDIS out of this time zone NOW! [02:06] * the Vortex engines of the TARDIS strain at the sudden takeoff, and it BLASTS into the Time Vortex, SCREAMING away from 2004 June [02:06] <::YingGirl> My freedon is my death. But I want to prove to the qwueen I am still worthy...FLAME SWORD! *slams the blade of the sword onto the ground, unleashing a shattering fire wave at Wolfwood* [02:07] <::sniper30xx> has the b[BLEEP]h in her sights [02:07] <::sniper30xx> takes the shot |
