Session Start: Sun Apr 29 20:59:22 2001
* Logging #Pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log'
<Cody> OF DEATH AND MAYHEM!
<Rachel> wee!
<Niki> I want Niki to be able to talk to the flowers. :D
<Niki> It'll drive the rest of the party insane. ^_^
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<GMStoren> We last left the party as they snuck through the streets leading up to the harbor distrcit of Nortown, their eyes set on the galeons set to depart from the port for Mount Illusia with their precious cargo aboard, namely Cody...
<Mystere> «ooc: Galeon! What are you doing! Nooo! »
<Cody> «ooc: Heheh »
<Niki> «ooc: No we didn't. We left the party picking their noses while Niki complained. ;) »
<GMStoren> Chrys took the job of causing a distraction with the Flammie drum, but it'll be some time before he can get in position. Right now you have to deal with the tons of soldiers that are boarding the ships under Friedrich's orders.
*** Dayanara (enygma@29-136.001.popsite.net) has joined #PureLand
*** Niki sets mode: +o Dayanara
*** Rhiana (enygma@29-136.001.popsite.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** Dayanara is now known as Rhiana
<Rhiana> «ooc: ... »
<Niki> «ooc: WB. »
<GMStoren> From a position behind a stack of crates, you catch a glimpse of Khyros and Cody entering the plank to what is apparently the flagship out of the 7 or so assembled in the harbor...
<Niki> «ooc: We go? »
<GMStoren> « just one more second :) »
<Niki> «ooc: k. »
<Cody> «ooc: can't type! Goddamn O_O »
<GMStoren> « Okay Luks? ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Next time lay down a towel ^^>>
<Niki> «ooc: Is that suppose to be new news? ;) No I kid. »
* Cody walks emotionlessly and almost mechanically into the ship. He's dressed in what appears to be very fancy clothes. A silk shirt, slacks, and what appears to be Julius' royal cloak, a gaudy red and purple. His hair is slicked back and he generally looks like some sort of polished trophy. His eyes, though, are cold, blank, and fuzzy, and his face is almost devoid of any emotion and is quite pale.
<GMStoren> Before you can get a second look, Cody disappears inot depths of the vessel, follwoed closely by an elite guard.
<Rachel> <<Now we go? ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: NO! You must sit and rot! »
<GMStoren> [Purim] He looks like some kind of prize.. that makes me sick...
<GMStoren> « you can go ;) »
* Rachel tenses up, as if resisting the urge to dash forward after the man she loves....she shakes her head softly and forces herself to breathe... "...tell me about it..."
<Rahne> ...We'll get him back, Highness..
<Mystere> (m)...patience...we're getting him back.
<Rhiana> Well atleast there aren't as many guards as I thought there would be.
<Niki> That wasn't him...that was some stupid rich dummy.  He doesn't wear stuff like that.
* Rachel looks up at the sky for any sign of Chrys...
<GMStoren> You notice the vessel closest to you doesn't seem to be fully loaded yet. Perhaps the supplies you're hiding next to are for the last transport.
<GMStoren> There's no sign of him yet...
<Rhiana> ..I've got an idea.
<Rachel> <<yey....we can hide in crates!>>
<Mystere> (q) They're going to be coming over here soon...
<GMStoren> « lovely crates! ;) »
* Rhiana pries open one of the boxes
<Chrys> «ooc: Hide in the wet box! »
* Rhiana grins, "This will work fine."
<Chrys> «ooc: Solid Rhiana ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: This isn't MGS... »
<Rhiana> Anyone interested in stowing away?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh I get it... well, let's give em some dangerous cargo.. ;)
<Mystere> (q) It's as good a plan as any....
* Rachel watches Rhiana, nodding faintly. "Yeah. Let's get in before we get caught."
<Rhiana> Don't worry, I'll eat what we take out so we don't waste anything
<Niki> Man, where is he and Whitey.  Maybe I'll go run out and have some fun. :D
<GMStoren> A few workers begin to file over to your position with mechanized lifts. :o
<Rachel> Niki....I promise if you wait....you can have the guy with the funny beard.
<Rhiana> quickly..
* Mystere quickly climbs into one of the crates, hunching over.
<Rhiana> everyone get in
* Rachel hops into a crate.
<Niki> «ooc: Funny beard? Niki doesn't want to get Dr. Light. »
<Rachel> <<Khyros :P Sue me. She isn't exactly big on names, Niki isn't>>
<GMStoren> Keylia hefts one open, sliding in easily, followed by the princess, who shuts the lid. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. She's actually trying ot remember now. ;) »
<Rachel> <<Purim/Keylia fic!>>
<GMStoren> « Oh come on! ;) »
<Rachel> <<Exactly ;)>>
<Niki> «ooc: <Khyros> Hewp us Megwaman. »
* Rhiana opens a crate and leaps into it...you can hear her eating
<GMStoren> « Niki & Tori hiding? »
* Rachel sweatdrops in her crate at the sound of Rhiana eating. ^^;
* Tori climbs into a crate, shifting around for a sec to try and make room in the cramped quarters.
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rhiana> Mmm, forbidden donut.. »
<Niki> «ooc: I'll get on the ship my own way. And no that doesn't mean I'll run up and bust heads. ^^; »
<GMStoren> Tori notices he's right next to some guns. How ironic. :o
* Rahne looks rather helplessly about for a safe hidey-hole.. *
<Rachel> <<I swear, being able to talk to flowers (druggie) makes Niki more mellow ;)>>
* Niki looks at her ring. "Hey, there's to many people in that box. Can't I become invisible or something and run on the ship?"
* Rachel reaches out and grabs Rahne, tugging her into the crate with her.
<GMStoren> [Flora] Flora can do that for Niki... ^_^
<Niki> Okay. :D
* Rahne eeps quietly before being drawn into the crate. * O_o;
* Rachel secures the lid above them silently.
<GMStoren> A faint glow encircles Niki as Flora casts Dew Prism on her. She becomes stealthy and undetectable for a while.
* Niki knocks on the box.
<Chrys> «ooc: Dew prism!? AGHSKHILF »
<Niki> I'll tell you when you can come out of the box. ^^
<GMStoren> And just in time.. as the dockhands start loading the crates with the party in them onot the loaders. One complains about the weight.
<Chrys> «ooc: ..Niki, if I have to start calling you Mint, I will KILL YOU »
<Niki> «ooc: I didn't cast it. Call Flora...call her Mint. »
<Mystere> «ooc: Mint is cooler than any of the SoM characters. »
* Rahne hugs her knees to her chest and curls her tail around her feet and quietly waits.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Mystere: SoM or SoMRPG? ;P »
* Rachel remains tense, her gaze upwards at the lid worriedly...
<GMStoren> « Mint has Dew prism? ^^ »
* Niki secretly runs past the workers on the dock.
<Chrys> «ooc: Stor: Mint's the main character of Dew Prism ;P »
<GMStoren> « Oh. Heh. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: She's one of them. »
<Mystere> «ooc: Mint is the real main character. »
<Cody> «ooc: Isn't Niki in the box? :O Waah! I miss things when I run for dew »
<Rachel> <<Rachel: Rahne....have you ever felt....not so fresh? Rahne: There are times. For when I don't feel my freshest, I use ManaDouche. Made from 100% cotton and completely environmentally safe!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o RACHE WHAT »
<Cody> «ooc: O_o »
<Niki> «ooc: No, I'm the trump card for the party. ;) »
<Rachel> <<Girl talk in a crate ;)>>
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
<GMStoren> It's a little while before the cargo is aboard, the crates shaking to and fro as they are placed in the hold. Niki runs past the workers without much hassle at all. A few soldiers almost run inot her by accdient though.
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Girl talk? Yeah, right. It'd be more like.. <Rahne> You took my man! *sock* <Rachel> Oh yeah..?! Well...Divine Grace! *punch* »
<Niki> «ooc: >> Rahne holds up a box labeled ManaDouche. <Rahne> ManaDouche...for when just normal fresh isn't enough. *big smile* »
<GMStoren> « Oy. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « Niki where did you run? on board? »
<Niki> «ooc: I ran to the ships boarding dock yes. »
<GMStoren> Niki watches the last of the cargo abaoard, finding a bunch of soldiers march single file onot the ship, followed by a very disgruntled looking Azrael. :P
<Rhiana> «ooc: Followed by Gargamel, looking for those DAMN BLUE SMURFS »
<Niki> «ooc: >> Mystere farts. <Party> OH MAN! THAT FUCKING STINKS! <Mystere> It is the fart of Justice. With this fart we will succeed. >> The party starts beating up Mystere and the crate falls in the ocean. »
<GMStoren> [Azrael] Urg, I hate that little hero bitch.. but damn is she hot... it's such a shame...
<Cody> «ooc: ;_; Less OOC more rp »
<GMStoren> « going to follow them Niki? »
<Mystere> «ooc: Mystere isn't goofy. :P »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
* Niki gets slightly iritated as she thinks the 'little hero bitch' is referring to her, but she stops herself from beating them up and just follows them.
<GMStoren> The workers shift over to start shifting the plank away from the vessel, as Niki enters inot a throng of Empire soldiers.
<GMStoren> The flagship unfurls it's sails, as the rest do in succession.. a wall of red and purple filling the view. A shot is fired.. and they begin moving once the docks are cleared. :o
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 28: Endless Battlefield | Location: Imperial Fleet, Vandole Waters | Time: Gnome's Day, Morning | 349 Luc -=- Profiles love! http://rpgcafe.net/somrpg/'
<Chrys> «ooc: BRB! »
<GMStoren> « okay Chrys.. ^^ »
<Niki> .oO( Man...this sucks.  Where did they put that box... )
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys: It has 2 minutes still on it. ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: Er...nm »
<GMStoren> The fleet turns hard out of the port, bearing east for a foggy mountain that seems to stretch to heaven itself.
<GMStoren> Niki finds the stairs leading further down clearing as the soldiers take up positions.
* Niki almost loses her balance as the ship suddenly turns, she then completely slips and tumbles down the stairs.
<GMStoren> In the sky, a white speck appears, flying closer to the ships at a breakneck speed...
<Niki> OW...*covers her mouth* .oO( OWWWWW! )
<Chriswizard> «ooc: LOL »
* Chrys hollers as he steers Flammie, going into a suicide dive and pulling back just above the ships, blowing past their sails at nearly the speed of sound...
<GMStoren> A few guards on watch cry out alarms as the huge image of Flammie swoops dangerously close to the fleet, Chrys on her back!
<GMStoren> [Guard] It's.. it's the Mana Beast! We are under attack!
<Rhiana> . o O (...well so much for the element of surprise...)
<Mystere> (q) It's getting noisy out there. Maybe that's our cue.
* Chrys pulls around and makes another low pass, dropping a small harmless flash bomb towards the ship.
<Rhiana> ...if it's Chrys..I should whip him...
<GMStoren> Julius steps out onot the deck of the main ship, waving his saber.
<GMStoren> [Julius] Men, look alive... man the cannons.. we must not stop for anything!!
* Niki stands up and starts looking for the crate.
<Rhiana> ...is everyone here?
<GMStoren> Chrys comes under fire from the massive barrages of the ships's multiple culverins, a few cannonballs nearly blindsiding Flammie!
<Mystere> (q) I am present and accounted for.
<Rhiana> Well let's get out of here then...
<GMStoren> Purim and Keylia buts out of the crate. :o
* Chrys pulls up and pushes Flammie to the limit, steering her just outside of cannonball range, hovering for a few seconds.
<Rachel> <<...snicker ;)>>
* Rachel growls and lunges upward, pushing the top off the crate swiftly.
* Rhiana kicks open her crate and gets out
* Rahne peeks out of the newly opened crate.. *
* Mystere rolls over to press his feet on the side of the crate he is in, kicking it open and rolling out. "Hah!"
<GMStoren> Niki immediately sees the party freeing themselves, as the noise up top intesifies.
* Niki finds the party slowly tumbling out of the crates. "Hey...I said I wasd gonna tell you when it was okay to get out."
* Tori knocks the top of the crate off and stands up, pistol at the ready.
<Rachel> C'mon, Rahne...
* Rahne nods.. *
<Rhiana> ..I swear if that's Chrys...I'll kill him
* Rachel draws the Mana Sword slowly and looks upwards towards the noise. "He's our distraction."
<GMStoren> Chrys pushes Flammie hard, forcing the ships to retrain their guns.. a few shots land on her back, causing her to roar in protest, angered. :o
* Mystere unhooks his ruby red chakram. "A distraction is a distraction."
* Niki looks at Rhiana. "It is....have fun." ^_^
* Chrys prods Flammie and speeds off to the west, silently taunting the ship to come catch him...if they can!
<Rachel> Now. Let's get moving.
<Niki> «ooc: Oh yeah...I'm still invisible. :O »
<Chrys> C'mon, girl...shake it off...you'll be fine...
<GMStoren> [Purim] We have t get to their flagship.. there's not much time!
<Rhiana> ...I hope we don't run into...yeah..let's go
<Niki> Hey, your not listening to me.
<GMStoren> A few guards run around up top, two descending inot the hold to secure it, and promptly drawing their swords. "You..!"
* Niki turns around. .oO( Oops! )
* Rhiana looks at the guards, "Vacate this position now."
<Mystere> Very perceptive.
* Niki runs around the guard to flank them.
<GMStoren> Chrys tries to divert the fleet, but they don't fall for his ruse. Their goal is clear...
<Niki> «ooc: guards. »
* Rachel growls, her thoughts with a certain herbalist prince.....she glares icily at the guards.
<Rhiana> Report to the general that I ordered you back.
<Rhiana> ..there's no sense in you getting hurt over this.
<GMStoren> [Guard] ...is it true?
* Rhiana takes off her hat, "Yes, it's me. Now go."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o »
* Chrys growls and turns Flammie, hovering some more, well out of range. .oO(Now what...?)
* Niki readies her axe, still invisible...ready to strike.
<GMStoren> The two soldiers look at each other, then the group, then slowly withdraw.
<Rachel> <<Cast some magic Chrys ;)>>
* Rhiana looks back at the group
<Rhiana> ..what?
<GMStoren> [Julius] We have repelled the beast.. full sail! I will not be denied!
* Rachel nods.
* Chrys lightbulbs and quietly summons Undine
<Rachel> Let's go. 
<Niki> «ooc: >> Chrys casts Lunar Magic...Flammie turns into a little moogle, Chrys gains max stats, but since Flammie is no longer Flammie, he falls to his death. »
<GMStoren> « hehe »
<Cody> «ooc: Bwah! He should do that O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: HE CAN BE MINIED :D »
* Rhiana puts her hat away, "I don't have time to mess with my hair right now.."
<Rachel> <<Fall to his death, Luks? ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I didn't say anything... whatever works..
<GMStoren> The exit of the hold is free for the moment.
<Rhiana> Let's go
* Rachel heads for the exit...
<Rhiana> Before the Emperor finds out.
* Mystere nods.
<Rachel> . o O (....hang on, stud. We're coming to get you.)
<GMStoren> Chrys summons Undine in front of him. "Oh my.. this is bad... what do you want me to do?"
<Chrys> ...Fog. Lots of it, Undine...
<Chrys> If you can...I don't know if Khryos'll be able to screw it up...
<GMStoren> [Undine] Well, that I can do.. the ships are protected, but the oceans around them aren't!
<GMStoren> Undine blips out, as a waves of fog begisn to roll inot the area, the waves stirring up.
<Chrys> .oO(Anything to delay them long enough for Rachel and the others to get Cody..)
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
<GMStoren> On the deck of the 3rd ship, Nakano looks out to the approaching sea. "...Let him try"
*** McGoo (s@208.42.104.20) has joined #pureland
<Rhiana> ...I won't be able to order her, I'm afraid.
<GMStoren> The party exits the hold, ending up on the deck of one of the rear ships. A platoon of soldiers looks a mix of alaramed and confused.
* Mystere looks around at the fog slowly riding from the ocean. "Magic is afoot here. This should be interesting."
<Rhiana> ...I wonder if they'll listen to me too
<GMStoren> Azrael jumps down from the wheel, seeing the group. "Well I'll be... you're still kicking."
* Rachel narrows her eyes at Azrael.
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Tori is quiet ^^ »
<GMStoren> Just then the fog starts rolling in, partially obscuring sight .
<Mystere> Hmph. Who the devil are you?
<Rachel> <<Keylia has his sword...hehe....>>
<Rhiana> ...oh hey..it's him!
<Rhiana> ...who the heck are you
<GMStoren> Keylia raises his blade. "Feel a little less of a man without this, eh boy?"
<Rachel> It's Azrael, the wannabe hack swordsman.
<Rhiana> oooooh, no wonder I've never heard of him
* Rachel smirks at Keylia and grins at Azrael teasingly.
<GMStoren> [Azrael] Grr.. You made me look like an idiot for the last time!
* Niki idly walks behind Azrael. ^_^
<GMStoren> [Azrael] Men, get them.. make them bleed!
<Rhiana> That probabn't wasn't that hard..
<Chrys> «ooc: LOL! Azrael is the Tayne of SoM! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: -t »
<GMStoren> [Soldier] But Flaresoul said to...
<Rachel> <<Fuck you ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: I love you, Heather ^_^ »
* Niki changes her mind and walks directly in front of Azrael.
<Rachel> <<thank you. ^_^>>
<GMStoren> « Rhiana outranks Azzy. poor guy. »
* Rhiana snickers, "Yeah, I'd hate to see these soldiers risk their Imperial Military Careers for striking at a superior officer."
<Niki> «ooc: Azrael is male right? ^^; »
<GMStoren> Just as he barks out the orders, Niki becomes visible right in his face.
<Rachel> <<yes>>
<Rachel> <<Kick him in the nuts!>>
<GMStoren> [Azrael] What? She's a deserter, you.. wha?
* Niki gives Azrael a swift kick in the nuts as she becomes visable.
<Niki> «ooc: Rachel: Was gonna do that from the start. ^_- »
* Rachel barks out a laugh despite herself. ^^;
<GMStoren> Azrael sweatdrops as once again his weakness is exploited quite painfully.
<GMStoren> [Azrael] DAMNIT...!!
* Rhiana snaps her whip around Azreal's ankle
<Mystere> «ooc: Dude needs a codpiece. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o. Since when was Rhiana an officer? »
<GMStoren> Azrael gets hog tied by Rhiana. :o
* Niki looks at Azrael as he bends forward from the nut crunch. "Hi." ^_^
<Rachel> <<Niki must've been carrying a magnifying glass..>>
* Rhiana waves at Azrael, "Do you know how to..swim?"
<GMStoren> « Rhiana's the duaghetr of the highest general in Vandole Chrys. »
<Chrys> «ooc: I didn't ask. CW did. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: You mean Chris. ^_- »
* Rahne watches somewhat helplessly, sweatdropping. * ^^;;
<GMStoren> Azrael winces as he hits the deck, not exactly saying much of anything.
* Rachel glances at Keylia and then at the assembled guards.
<GMStoren> Well.. except various expletives.
<Rhiana> ...fine, be that way
<Rhiana> Soldiers, escort Mr. Azreal off the vessel, please.
<Mystere> Are you gentlemen still interested in dying?
<Mystere> If not, I reccomend you listen to her.
* Niki looks at Rhiana. "Ooh, ooh! Can I throw him in the ocean?" :D
* Rhiana shrugs, "Sure Niki..if he can't swim, now's the time to learn."
<Niki> Yay. :D
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Oh.Heh. »
<GMStoren> The soldiers hesitate, but then one of them kicks Azrael, and he rolls off the deck inot the ocean, the waves picking up.
<Cody> «ooc: Hehehe. »
<Niki> Hey!!
<GMStoren> [Azrael] I'll get you for.. *bulb*
* Rachel smirks. "Idiot."
<GMStoren> « er blub »
* Niki punches the guard. "I was suppose to do that!"
<Mystere> «ooc: Yeah, wouldn't wanna misspell that. »
<Mystere> Niki! Leave them be.
<Rhiana> ..okay, was he the captain of this vessel?
<GMStoren> [Guard] He was always a wuss.
<GMStoren> Niki punches the guard. "Hey!"
<Rachel> ....god damn. ^^;
<GMStoren> The one guy holds his nose a sec, and starts swinging at Niki!
* Niki points to Rhiana. "But she said I could do it...not him!"
* Niki jumps back a bit.
* Rhiana cracks her whip..very loudly
<GMStoren> « Rhiana is dom today.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> The ships ahead of the one the party is on begin to slow down in the fog, making maneuvering difficult.
* Niki points her ring at the guard. "Sister...put him to sleep or something. Blow him up or something."
<Rhiana> ...that's enough of that
<Rhiana> We need to catch up to the lead ship.
<GMStoren> [Flora] Flora not think ti good idea...
<Niki> Oh fine...
<Rachel> Rhi....maybe-......rrr....
<GMStoren> One guard runs up to Rhiana, looking very youthful. "Major Flaresoul!"
* Rachel reaches up to place her palm against her forehead, wincing.
* Rhiana blinks, "Oh I'm still a Major? Yes, what is it?"
<GMStoren> [Young] Soldier This was Azrael's ship.. but it is under your command now as the highest ranking officer here.
<GMStoren> « ack ;) »
<Rhiana> How..lovely.
<Mystere> I love the military.
<Cody> «ooc: Hello, Young! This is old! »
* Rachel murmurs to herself, something about Cody.... and shakes her head.
<Niki> «ooc: <Old> Hey...sonny *cough weeze* »
<GMStoren> [Purim] Makes me think of Dyluck.... no, let's just hurry.
<Rhiana> The Emperor is in danger, we need to catch up to his ship as quickly as possible.
*** Chriswizard (Cwizard59@ACAC4623.ipt.aol.com) Quit (Ping timeout)
* Rahne remains quiet and aprehensive.. *
<Niki> Ooh, I have an idea. :D
<Rhiana> Oh?  I have one too...but what's yours
<GMStoren> [Guard] The Emporer in danger? Then we'll set sail.. but this fog could make it difficult.
*** Chriswizard (Cwizard59@ACAC4623.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +v Chriswizard
<Rhiana> Don't worry about the fog.
* Rachel drops her hand and gazes at Rhi and Niki...
* Niki reaches behind her back and pulls out Cody's staff. She holds it in the air. "This can show us where he is cuz of all these stupid clouds." ^_^
* Niki blinks as nothing happens, looking stupid.
<Rhiana> Good Niki..way to go.
<Cody> «ooc: O_o Uh... »
<Rachel> <<whaaaaaaaaaaaat>>
<GMStoren> One of the soldiers gives the lead navigator a swift kick, and he takes the empty wheel, turning the ship inot the wake of the flagship, and breaking formation.
<Niki> «ooc: If something does happen, let it kick in after a minute. ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah. My take exactly. Wut. »
<GMStoren> « Hmm ^^; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Don't ask me, I'm just going with the flow ;) »
<Rhiana> ..I'll take care of the speed
<GMStoren> Niki notices Cody's staff is glowing faintly.
* Rhiana leaps to the back of the boat
<Rachel> <<How obscene is this?>>
* Niki sighs. "It didn't wor...oh wait, it did!" :D
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_O »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. Cody's thunderwanker has magical powers. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: SoD! »
<Niki> «ooc: SEE SEE! I said I wouldn't make that joke anymore AND LOOK WHO MAKES IT NOW! »
<Rachel> Not bad, Niki...
<Cody> «ooc: Every once in a while it's funny. Just not every MINUTE ;) »
<GMStoren> A few of the vessels in the outlying perimeter call out. "Lorima, what are you doing? Hold position! We could crash in this fog if we sail too close!"
<Niki> Come on glowing stick.  Where do we go. :D
* Rachel heads up beside the wheel next to the guard...she gazes intently ahead...

<Mystere> .oO( I wonder if she'll crash the ship. )
*** Dayanara is now known as Rhiana
<Rhiana> «ooc: What did I miss? »
<Mystere> «ooc: When'd you die? »
<GMStoren> Niki feels like it's trying to leave her hands, pulling towards Julius' ship.
* Niki starts walking with the staff. "This way." ^_^
<Mystere> «ooc: Niki is thor, she can fly through the air with her staff. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Did you get my call to Djinn? »
<Mystere> «ooc: Nope. »
<GMStoren> Niki bumps inot the railing. Unless she wants to take a briny bath. ^^
<Rhiana> Djinn, king of winds...I call to you...
<GMStoren> « working.. on it :) »
<Niki> Whoa...whoa!
<Niki> Stop you stupid stick....
<GMStoren> Rhiana summons Djinn!
<Rachel> Niki....careful....come here....the guy at the wheel needs to know where to go
<GMStoren> The genie of the airy heights appears behind the ship, and takes a deep breath, blowing inot the sails with a magical tempest...
<Niki> But it won't let me come back.  It keeps trying to to this way.
<Rhiana> Good day Djinn...we need some speed...and your breath is required for that...if you don't mind, of course.
<GMStoren> The ship lurches forward in a burst of speed, the sails filling... the flagship draws nearer.
<Rachel> Grh....
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Come on..
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Hmm.Transpose it? »
* Niki stumbles and flips over the railing as the ship suddenly gains the burst of speed.
<Rachel> ...Niki!
* Rhiana quickly draws her whip
<GMStoren> A few of the ships train their guns on the party's vessel. "Cease your movement! You are violating orders!"
<Niki> Wah!
<Mystere> «ooc: It'd be funny if she dropped the staff and it were lost forever. »
<Rachel> Oh, fuck. 
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<GMStoren> Niki stops an inch above the water...
<Cody> «ooc: I'd be mad :D »
<Cody> «ooc: THen I would get the mana uzi :D »
<Mystere> «ooc: You're evil zombie boy, we don't care about you. »
<GMStoren> A small vine is holding her, growing out of the ship's wooden hull.
* Rahne runs to the edge of the ship, looking down at the young girl.. *
<Cody> «ooc: ;_; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Fuck Cody :D »
<Cody> «ooc: ;_; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Fuck him right in the ear :D »
* Rahne calls down. * You okay?
<Rachel> <<I love him ;_; Fucking comes later!>>
<Cody> «ooc: I love you too :P »
<Niki> I'm gonna fall in the water!
<Cody> «ooc: er, that was to Rhiana and Roric ;) »
<Rhiana> Did I get Niki?
<Cody> «ooc: I love Heather too :D »
* Rhiana pulls on her whip
<GMStoren> The waves begin to pick up, rushing by at a tremendous speed.
<GMStoren> [Soldier] Major Flaresoul! If we keep going we'll be fired upon!
* Rachel closes her eyes as the wind whips her hair....
<Rhiana> Continue on present course!  They can't match our speed
* Niki looks at the water. "Yay, I'm flying."
* Rachel opens them quickly to look at the soldier at the wheel, ready to knock him out if need be.
<Rhiana> «ooc: How is Niki staying above water? ;) »
<Rachel> <<Vine. ^^;>>
<Niki> «ooc: <GMStoren> A small vine is holding her, growing out of the ship's wooden hull. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ah »
* Rhiana reels in her whip
<Mystere> «ooc: I want that ring./ »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<GMStoren> One of the frigate escorts fires a volley inot the water around the ship, making a hug splash in front of Niki.
<GMStoren> « er huge »
* Tori leans over the railing and motions for Niki to hand up an end the staff so he can help her back on deck.
<Niki> Wee, this is fu...*gargle gargle*
<Niki> Hey!  Don't splash water in my face!
<Rhiana> ...you know we could probably catch a shark with her down there...
<GMStoren> « LOL! »
<GMStoren> [Flora..] can't hold.. much longer.. Niki...
<GMStoren> « gack. :/ »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. Flora has evolved to Flora.. »
* Rhiana lets down her whip, "Grab my whip, Niki."
* Niki looks at the ship, noticing the vine. "Huh...I'm not flying?"
* Niki looks up. "Okay!"
* Niki grabs the whip.
<GMStoren> Niki gets a firm hold on it, just as the magical plant vanishes, sending her swinging.
* Rhiana looks at Tori, "Give me a hand, would you?"
<Cody> «ooc: As my staff plunks in the water ^_^ »
<Mystere> «ooc: It'd rule if she fell now. »
<Mystere> «ooc: Then we'd lose 3 weapons at once. »
<GMStoren> « oh wait.. the staff ;) »
* Tori grabs on to the whip and helps hoist Niki up.
<Niki> Wee!
<Rahne> << Make it float to Cody. ^^ >>
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o Tori actually did something to help someone else? Wow. »
* Niki smashes into the hull. "Hey! Watch out."
<Mystere> «ooc: Tori likes Niki. He's weird that way. »
* Rhiana smiles, "Thanks...that axe is pretty heavy..."
<GMStoren> Niki drops Cody's staff in her scramble to stay on the lifeline and get back aboard. It floats on the water's surface, then darts towards the flagship.
* Tori turns to look at Rhiana, is face still an emotionless mask.
<Tori> . . .
* Niki flips back over the railing. "Wee that was neat. Now stick where do we g...hey where did it go?"
<GMStoren> A few cannonballs rock the ship!
<Rhiana> Oh knock it off with the silent stuff, that's my line.
<Mystere> Damn...you lost the staff?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Gack!
<Niki> No I had it right in my hand, then I had to grab on the whip with both han....oops. ^^;
* Mystere suddenly tips over, nearly losing his balance. "Curse it! It looks as though we have more important things to worry about...can we return fire?"
<GMStoren> The shooting stops suddenly though as you slide up right next to the flagship, Glaive!

<Rhiana> Good work men...after we get off, I want you to return back to Northtown
* Rachel staggers a little and growls.
<GMStoren> Khyros and Julius immeditaely turn around, as the Mana Staff floats to Cody, landing in his hand.
<Rachel> ....
<Niki> Oh, there it is!
* Rahne runs towards the other ship, using her spear to vault over to the flagship! *
<GMStoren> [Julius] What is the meaning of this?!
<Rhiana> Everyone off
* Cody grasps onto the staff and twirls it once, expertly, but emotionlessly.
<Niki> Hi Cody...gimme my mallet back. :D
* Mystere measures the distance between ships, then vaults across the gap.
<Cody> . . .
* Rachel follows after Rahne, clambering up the side and onto the deck!
<GMStoren> [Khyros] You cretins.. you are too late..
* Rachel fixes her gaze on Cody...
<Mystere> We shall see.
* Cody doesn't seem to see the party at all.
* Tori takes a running jump and lands deftly in the middle of the flagships deck.
* Niki looks at Khyros and starts laughing.
<GMStoren> Keylia dashes oevr the soldiers, boarding the vessel. Purim punches out several guards, fighting her way on. "Etienne!"
<Niki> Y...your beard sucks. *laughs*
* Rhiana snaps her whip across the Glaive's Mast and swings across like Tarzan, yell included
<Mystere> ...if anyone has any aces up their sleeve, now is the time...
<Mystere> «ooc: Where's Chrys, anyhow? »
<Chrys> «ooc: On his way to meet you at Illusia. ^^ »
<GMStoren> The soldiers on the vessel do not atatck, but promptly pull away, unsure of just what is going on.

<GMStoren> « er your ship that is ^^ »
<Rhiana> These soldiers will remain loyal to the Emperor...I can't order them around..
* Niki starts climbing up the mast of the ship she is on...AKA not the flag ship.
* Rachel slams the hilt of the sword into a soldier's face, sending him down!
<Mystere> I have no immediate quarrel with the Emperor.
<Rahne> I'm taking you up on your offer, Highness..  I'm going to do what's best for the empire.  I'm going stop Khyros, he's leading you on the path to destruction.
* Rachel then staggers, hissing.
<Mystere> My interest is in Cody.
<GMStoren> Several of the emperor's finest rush to block the group from Cody and Julius.
<Rhiana> Stand aside, soldiers...
* Cody watches the battle as if completely detached from what is going on. There is no recognition whatsoever. Only coldness.
<GMStoren> [Julius] Sage Rahne... this is the moemnt of salvation. Why have you come to ruin it?!
* Rachel straightens up, concentrating just a little.....she then levels her sword at the soldiers.....
<Rachel> Stand aside like the lady said.\
<Rachel> Or else die.
* Niki reaches the top of the mast and she jumps off the ship in the direction of the flag ship. She uses her axe to catch the sails of the ship, and slide down, leaving a huge hole in the sails.
<GMStoren> The images of the great mountain appears on the horizon as the fog fades out... Mount Illusia...
<Mystere> You are in my way.
<Mystere> Today is not a good day to get in my way.
<Rahne> Not to ruin it..  but to save you.  You and Cody both, from Khyros' treachery.
* Rachel 's sword glints in the fading fog and she takes a step forward, staring at Cody, trying to figure out a way to snap him out of it...
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Nonsense. I bear no such treachery... I am here at the Emperor's side as he takes his place in history.
* Cody takes a step back from Rachel mechanically.
<Rhiana> Soldiers, I said stand aside..
<Chrys> «ooc: Heh. Heheheh. Khryos, you think someone believes you. ;) »
<Mystere> Your words are hollow. 
<Rachel> Cody....
<GMStoren> [Bodyguard] I'm afraid I only take orders from Julius.
<Rhiana> Otherwise, we'll have to do things a little more..painfully
<Rahne> You are here to stab a knife into his back as soon as convenient.  You wish to use him as a stepping stool to further your dark aims!
<GMStoren> [Purim] Liar!!
<Rhiana> ...as I figured...fine....have it your way
<Mystere> Julius! Call back your guards! Our goal is your traitorous general, and he alone.
<GMStoren> [Julius] I cannot call them back.. for our goal is right before us! Behold...
* Rhiana jams her heel into Mystere's foot, "The general isn't the one we're after you twit, we're after Khyros."
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: GO DOM WOMAN :D »
<Cody> . . .
<Mystere> «ooc: Er, I meant Khyros. »
* Niki walks up to the rest of the party, she then looks at Cody. "Why are you over there. Your on this team....oh yeah, gimme my mallet back."
<Mystere> «ooc: I thought he was a general. »
<GMStoren> The ship runs a ground, forcing you to steady yourselves!
<Cody> (monotone) ...I do not know you.
<Rachel> Aaagh...
* Rahne stumbles a bit.. * Highness, you're being tricked!
* Rachel stumbles backwards a bit before steadying herself.
<Rhiana> Good Goddess..who is driving this...

<Mystere> ...then the immortal judge of time shall exact judgement for your folly...
* Mystere stumbles, grabbing the railing.
<Niki> No way...you know me.  I let you borrow my mallet.
* Rachel looks around for Chrys...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Cripe.. the purelands! Grab Cody! Hurry!
<Cody> ...I do not ...know you.
* Niki pulls out Joch and holds him in out. "And you gave me him." ^_^
<Rahne> Blinded by your ambition!  Take a step back and see!  See how Khyros has been using you!  Is using you!
* Mystere makes a quick hand motion, and sends a cloud of pink sleep dust towards Cody.
<Rhiana> ..that won't work..his senses are already asleep...
<Rachel> <<Joch kwehs and starts humping Cody's leg! <Cody> .....stupid.....bird. I do not.....know you.>>
* Cody deflects the sleep dust away!
<Rachel> Cody...!!
<GMStoren> The soldiers cut off the group, their weapons glinting as they begin attacking from all sides, defending Cody from the attack!
<Chrys> «ooc: * Rachel cries and starts humping Cody's leg! <Cody> ...I do not...know you...but I want...to sleep with you.. »
<Mystere> Hmm. He's more skilled entranced than aware. This is not going to work.
* Cody steps back further, "...They wish to do me harm. Please...send them away...."
<Rachel> <<Ha ha ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Julius] I will not hear of it until this is over... I am sorry.
<Rhiana> okay, I'm mad now.
* Rachel growls and lunges forward. "Cody! You don't mean that! It's me, god damn you!"
<GMStoren> [Julius] Now, keep them busy.. there is no time to waste...!
* Rachel meets the wall of soldiers head on!
* Niki looks at her ring. "Hey sister...how come he's being stupid and saying 'I don't know you, I don't know you, I suck cuz I'm stupid' over and over again?
<Mystere> Then there's no avoiding it.
<GMStoren> Keylia & Purim engages the soldiers, trying to bat them away from Cody.
<Rahne> I am a Sage..  albeit a young and inexperienced one, but I have been raised with the same noble principals of my predecessors and peers.  I'm not lying, Emperor.  Besides, what have you to lose by pausing a moment to examine the situation?
<Rhiana> Time to blow some crap up, one of my favoriate past times
<GMStoren> Just then you notice someone on the shores of the mountain.
<Rhiana> «ooc: :O It's Shaft! »
<Rahne> Have you done any of the planning at all?  Or has Khyros done it for you?
<Cody> . . .
<GMStoren> It's a platoon of more soldier, bearing the standard of Pandora.
* Rachel slams her sword into the gut of a soldier, pushing him off to jerk the hilt into another soldier's face solidly with a loud crack. She looks towards the shores...
<Niki> «ooc: *beats her ring* Damn you answer me. :O »
<Cody> «ooc: ...beat yourself another time! ;) »
* Mystere catches the glint of steel on the shore and looks in that direction.
<Rhiana> «ooc: <Rhiana> That Shaft he's a bad mutha...<Rahne> Watch your mouth! <Rhiana> I'm just talkin' 'bout Shaft. <Rahne> I can dig it »
<GMStoren> [Flore] Cody is not there...
<Rahne> << Heh. ^^ >>
<Niki> Yes he is...he's right there. *points*
* Rachel then flicks her gaze to Cody, trying to barrel through an opening to get to him... "Rrgh....!"
<Mystere> «ooc: <Enygma> Leon is one bad mutha.. <Gayo> Shut yo mouth! <Enygma> I'm just talkin' about Leon. <Gayo> Then I can dig it. »
<Rhiana> Cody is a sleep..you guys don't realize it...he's like..in a deep sleep..and Khyros has put in a new personality for him...
<GMStoren> Purim gets a shot in the side, retailiating. "What? The Pandoran militia?"
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol I remember that Gayo »
<GMStoren> Khyros laugh. "I'm sorry. perhaps you believe he was your friend to begin with.. he knows his destiny now.."
<Rachel> Shut the fuck up, you twisted goat! 
* Cody repeats the same mantra over again, eerily, "I do not know you. I do not know you..."
* Mystere remains on guard.
<GMStoren> Khyros reaches behind him and grabs Chrys by the neck. "And I don't like little flies on the wall for a historic occasion."
<Rachel> .... Chrys!
<Mystere> ...damn it.
* Cody looks up to Chrys with fuzzy, dead eyes with no pupils...
* Niki stands there, looking confused.
* Chrys chokes. "...Good for...you. Too bad I'm...a fucking...mosquito."
<Cody> «ooc: I give you malaria! HAHA »
<GMStoren> [Julius] I must go to the gate.. I have no more time for talk...
<Niki> «ooc: <Cody> I AM...IMPOTENT »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: You suck, Niki :D »
<Niki> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Rachel> <<Can we not reach Cody at all then..? ^^;>>
<GMStoren> Julius takes the cadres of men not fighting with the group fiercely and advances onot the mountain. It almost looks like the other boats are doing the same... and meeting with Pandora?
<Rahne> Why do you hurry?  Why do you choose to not here what I say?
<Rhiana> ...shouldn't Pandora be trying to stop him
* Chrys kicks Khryos in the gut, trying to wriggle free before Khryos gets serious!
<GMStoren> Cody is pulled away from the group, as Khyros sends Chrys sprawling inot them.
<Mystere> One would think so, Rhiana.
* Chrys coughs for air as he hits the deck
<GMStoren> [Purim] Come back here!
* Cody gives the party one final, emotionless look before following Julius. Another defeat for you. ^_-
<Rahne> Cody..
* Niki is standing somewhat away from the party still confused. She looks down at Joch. "Do you know whats going on?"
* Rachel kicks a soldier in the stomach, yelling. "Cody!!!"
<Mystere> No time! Let's go!
<GMStoren> [Joch] KWEH!!!
* Rahne begins pursuit of Julius' party.. *
<GMStoren> [Joch] Kwarky!!
* Chrys curses loudly, picking himself up and following Rahne closely!
<Rhiana> Does the bird want to end up Pandora Fried Chocobo or what...
* Mystere follows close behind Rahne, slashing at any soldiers in his way.
* Rhiana dashes along
<GMStoren> « this is hard to manage.. gah :/ »
<Mystere> «ooc: It is, isn't it? »
<Chrys> «ooc: That's what you get for being epic. ^^ »
<Niki> Umm..okay. ^^;

<Rachel> <<And fluffy. Tho I'm sure fluffiness has nothing to do with this. ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: I go pee. BRB »
* Rachel attempts to pursue, keeping herself aware of her friends around her.
* Tori walks steadily after the group, watching cody's retreating form intently..and thumbing the hammer back on Seven-day.
* Niki starts following everyone else, still not completely clear on whats going on.

<Niki> «ooc: WTF... »
<GMStoren> The group encounters fierce resistance as they try to cut a swath to Julius. but however many fall, they can't seem to get close enough! Julius is joined by his generals, and meets the Pandora force, who begin following him up the slope.
<Rachel> N....no!! God damn you!
<Rhiana> ...okay, now I've seen everything
<GMStoren> In the distance, you catch a glimpse of a mounted general, in the robes of royalty. It's King Elman...
<Mystere> ...blood is going to run freely today...
<GMStoren> [Purim] My father... he's working with them ebcase of me... we have to change him around or there won't be any hope of getting there!
<Rhiana> I've seen a way cute half naked kitty cat girl..I've seen people smoking a mana spirit...I've even seen a white dragon..but that all pales in comparision to this...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh just great...
* Rahne endevours to break away from the group, ducking and dodging her way around the mess of soldiers all around, leaving behind the safety in numbers in a desperate attempt to catch up to her friend.. *
<Niki> Man, this sucks.
<Rhiana> Well, shall we?
<Cody> «ooc: Back :) »
* Rachel gets punched in the face and staggers back....she grabs her chin for a moment before slashing low, catching the soldier in the knees before twirling to lob off his head!
<Rachel> <<I love fight scenes. ^^>>
* Chrys pulls out the flammie drum. "We can still beat them up there...she's closeby.."
* Mystere dodges and weaves through waves of steel and blood, uninterested in the battle raging around him.
<GMStoren> Rahne weaves through the ranks with her agile body, catching the site of a masisve waterfall extending inot the clouds..
<Rachel> <<grh.. ^^ >>
* Chrys twirls the drum softly while running to catch up with Rahne..
* Rhiana whips her way past everyone
* Rahne battles on harder, a fierce determination welling from deep within her.. * ...
<Niki> Oh forget it.  I'm just gonna beat up everyone..
* Niki draws her axe and heads off.
<Mystere> «ooc: Hey, can we get like 10000 EXP for all the people we're beating up? »
<Chrys> «ooc: No. You can get 10. »
<Cody> «ooc: ;-: No! Then I'll be even further behind!...*Hears lots of 'fuck cody's' * »
<Mystere> «ooc: Bah, you'll get caught up for free. »
* Rachel brings down one more soldier before attempting to follow Rahne..
<GMStoren> Purim races to catch up, dodging weapons left and right. Keylia is hot on her heels, swinging.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Fuck Cody :D »
* Chrys curses and wonders why Flammie isn't answering the drum..
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, why not. Everyone else wants to :D »
<GMStoren> Flammie circles above, and swoops down in a sonic boom that sends several regiments flying.
* Niki runs past everyone, slashing away...Joch on her shoulder. "Yay, this is fun." ^_^
<Rachel> <<Flammie: ROAR! * Flammie and Mikey slug back another shot of tequila. Mikey: No no...more like this... roar.>>
* Chrys hops on Flammie. "Guys! COME ON! We need to pass them, not kill them!"
* Mystere grabs onto one of Flammie's legs and climbs onto her back, the wind whipping his hair into his face.
* Rachel stares and reaches out to grab onto Chrys, yanking herself up onto the back of Flammie swiftly!
* Niki stops in front of Flammie and shakes her head. "I'm not getting on."
<GMStoren> [Frierich] Men, rear guards, fire on the beast.. do not let it pass!
<Mystere> We don't have time to argue about it. Gop!
<Mystere> «ooc: ...go. »
<Rachel> We don't have time..!!
<Niki> No!
* Niki runs past Flammie.
<Chrys> Fine, then, Niki! But we have to save Cody! We'll meet you up top if you're that way...!
<Mystere> Then stay and distract the guards!
<GMStoren> Keylia scoops up Niki. "Argue later, kid!"
<Mystere> But whatever happens, let's take to the air before we get blasted to bits!
<GMStoren> A few bullets land where she was a second ago.
<Rachel> Keylia...! Get...yeah! Rhiana, Rahne! Purim! Tori! Get on already!
<Niki> No, I don't wanna ride with all of you!
* Rhiana whips another guard down, "Stay down!"
<GMStoren> Purim leaps on. "Drop me by my father! I need to get him to stop!"
* Rhiana leaps onto Flammie
* Chrys grabs Rahne and pulls on Flammie's mane, dodging a few blasts! "Hurry up! We're running out of time!"
<GMStoren> The Pandoran forces begin to slow when they notice Flammie's arrival.
* Tori leaps on to Flammie, eyes still glued to Cody and Seven Day still ready.
* Rahne grim reverie is snapped by the harsh tug upwards.. * ..!
<GMStoren> « Tori's a sniepr.. uh oh.. ^^ »
* Chrys soars up towards the top of the mountain!
<Niki> «ooc: >> Tori fires at Cody since he can't be brought back. Suddenly a booming voice is heard. "Head shot!" »
<Rachel> <<Grh.....please tell me we didn't leave Keylia behind. ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: >> Tori gets 3 frags »
<GMStoren> Keylia maaged to get on with Niki before she's left in the dust...
<Chrys> «ooc: No..she grabbed Niki ^^ »
* Niki squirms away from Keylia's grasp, and slides down to one of Flammie's claws. She sits there.
<GMStoren> Flammie levels out, shaking as her hide is pierces in several places... she roars and darts forth without waiting for an order!
<Rhiana> ...I'll get him for firing on me.
<Chrys> Come on, Flammie...
* Rachel grits her teeth and fixes her gaze on the convoy that has Cody in it...
<Rachel> <<We'd so better get a vacation after this is done ;)>>
<Mystere> (m) It's now or never...today is the last day of this life...
<Niki> «ooc: And free benefits. »
<GMStoren> Flammie speeds over the two armies, leaving a huge shadow as projectiles continue to fly all around from the Vandole cadre. Soon she is near the head of the army and Cody, but promptly grinds to a halt and swoops upwards before she crashes inot the waterfall itself!
* Chrys lets go of Flammie's mane for a split second to help Rahne all the way up, setting her on his lap absentmindedly and grabbing the mane again. "Follow that kid!"
<Rachel> Grrah...!
* Rahne scrambles up behind Chrys, clinging onto Flammie's fur during the rapid ascent! *
<GMStoren> Flammie loops around, causing you to lose your grip and fall to earth...
<Rhiana> ..this isn't going to tickle
<Mystere> «ooc: How high up are we? »
* Chrys curses as Flammie does some unasked for acrobatics and he decides to go into a freefall -_-;
* Rachel slips from Flammie's back and tumbles downwards! "Oh, shi--...!!"
<GMStoren> The party finds itself falling right at the head of the forces, landing on the ground a little painfully.
* Niki looks at her ring. "Not again! Save me this time!"
* Mystere twists in the air, managing to land without breaking anything.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Goddess.. that smarts! >_<
<Mystere> «ooc: Flora's going to DIE OF EXHAUSTION if Niki keeps leeching off her. ^_~ »
* Rachel hits the ground hard and tucks herself into a roll, landing on her feet but staggering faintly. "Ughh.... fuck!"
<GMStoren> Niki is caught by a little flower that springs up suddenly.
* Chrys lands on his feet and tries to keep his balance, wincing as he feels something wrench loose..
<Niki> «ooc: Last time we both fell down a pit, she just teleported off. ^_- »
<Mystere> ...nngh. 
<GMStoren> Purim goes inot a roll, dazed. o_o
* Mystere painfully stands, flexing.
<GMStoren> The two armies halt, as you feel hundred of eyes on you.
* Niki bounces off the flower and lands on her feet. "Thanks. ^_^ Your the best sister."
* Tori alnds in a crouching position hitting the ground with a solid thud but mostly uninjured.
<Rachel> ....uh. Excuse me. Do you have any grey poupon?
<Mystere> «ooc: Rachel = Ashton »
* Chrys dusts himself off and elbows Rachel. "Not the time..."
<Rachel> <<....LOL>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh, come on :D I like grey pupon. »
<Mystere> «ooc: Actually Ashton doesn't really do that much anymore, but now EVERYONE ELSE DOES »
* Niki looks at Rachel. "Why do you want poop? Its stinky."
* Rachel winces. "Sorry."
<GMStoren> Khyros, Julius, and Cody walk to the bottom of the majestic falls, ignoring you largely. It is then the mounted ruler of Pandora gets alarmed.
* Rahne lands on her feet.. wobbling a bit, but regaining her balance all the same.. her determined face is back on, and she surveys the area.. *
<GMStoren> [Elman] Purim?!
<Rachel> Cody....
<Chrys> ...Yes. Now if you'll pardon us...
<Mystere> Burn in the pyre of your own making, old man! We don't have time for you.
* Chrys runs...okay, limps quickly...after Cody and the Imperial Fudgepackers.
<Rhiana> ...I didn't even get a bag of peanuts...
<Niki> Oh yeah...my mallet.  *she looks around till she spots Cody's group, she then runs off.*
* Mystere takes a deep breath and runs toward the entourage, ignoring the pain in his legs.
<GMStoren> Keylia steadies herself and tries to get to Cody's group. Purim's father dismounts and brings his force over to the crash site.
* Rachel rushes after Chrys, panting roughly...
<GMStoren> [Purim] Daddy...! You have to stop this! Vandole has Etienne!
<GMStoren> The old king looks oevrjoyed to see his daughter alive, but then is immediately aware of the situation." Purim I.. what.. you mean.. he is Gemma? Your son?"
<Cody> «ooc: My father...you mean my dad?! »
<Rahne> << ^_^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: :) Well, I thought it was funny at the TIME. *Snicksnick* »
<GMStoren> « no Purim's dad. ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Elman] Goddess.. what have I done...
<Cody> «ooc: I'm just joshin' ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Locke should draw a pic of this epic battle, yo ;)>>
<GMStoren> The group minus Purim races towards the site, as a legion cuts off their advance.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Cody... now is the time... to do what you were born to do...
<Cody> (monotone) ...Yes....
<GMStoren> [Julius] Please Gemma, open the way to the Holyland of Mana.
<Chrys> ...Fuck...Rachel, Rahne...don't hate me...
<Niki> «ooc: Become the tree and then die like all the Mana Tree's do. »
<Rachel> Cody..!! Stop, damnit!
* Chrys pulls out a knife and launches it towards Cody, trying not to injure so much as faze him!
<Niki> «ooc: >> The knife lands square between Cody's eyes. <Chrys> Doh! »
* Cody takes a few steps forward, holding up the Mana Pendant towards the falls. His body begins to glow a green similar to what you saw when he broke the barrier in Wendel. His hair and cloak begin to float in some sort of etheral breeze.
<Mystere> «ooc: <Everyone Else> Yay! »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<Cody> «ooc: ...I hate you ;_; »
* Rahne charges the legion, using her spear as a pole-vault once more, clearing the wall of soldiers! * Cody...!
<GMStoren> The knife deflects around Cody, caught in a magical wind...
<Cody> «ooc: HAHA :D »
<Chrys> Hell! Fuck you too, Hylissa!
<Cody> (Monotonely) Klnka Imra Miryon Tin Qua.... 
<Chrys> Rachel! You're his fucking soulmate...DO SOMETHING!
* Rahne tries to tackle her friend, hold and him close! * Cody! Stop! Please Stop!
<GMStoren> Keylia wideyes. "Cody, don't reverse them, damnit! You'll open the final seal!"
<Mystere> «ooc: Read that as " »
<Niki> «ooc: * Cody looks at Chrys. "(monotome) I don't know....you. But Deepest hurt.....bad." »
<Rachel> ....Rrr....!
<Mystere> «ooc: Read that as "you're fucking his soulmate" »
* Cody makes a gesture with his hands towards the waterfall, completing the ritual!
<Chrys> «ooc: Keylia's his soulmate? »
<Rhiana> Let's not go opening any seals today
<Mystere> «ooc: Keylia: Aw, man! You suck! »
<GMStoren> Rahne tries to tackle Cody, but she is blown back as the ritual is completed! :o
<Rachel> Cody!!!!
<GMStoren> An eerie silence hangs for a moment as time seems to stop.
<Rachel> Rahne! FUCK!
<Cody> . . .
* Mystere shields his face from the storm of magical energy with his cape, wincing.
* Niki catches Rahne as she flies past her.
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<Mystere> ...what the hell...?
<Rhiana> Well one thing is for certain
* Rahne is sent sprawling backwards, but she's back on her feet in a flash. * No, I'm not giving up!
* Chrys growls with rage and stops, helping Niki keep Rahne from becoming a pinball. "Yeah, Rahne. It's certain that we're fucked."
* Cody mechanically lowers his hands and watches the his handiwork in his zombish detached way.
<GMStoren> The cascading water grinds to a halt.
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Rahne = Rhiana »
* Rahne tries to reach her friend again, the tears begining to flow again.. * I'm never giving up.. Cody...
<GMStoren> Then, one by one, it begisn to ripple, and go against the natural law. It begins to flow upward, like a river upon it's very source...
* Niki holds Rahne back.
<Rahne> << Moe: Oh criminy...  here come the waterworks. -_-; >>
<GMStoren> [Julius] Yes.. yes...
* Rachel reaches down to grab the pendant Cody gave her, squeezing it....she whispers...
<Chrys> Rahne! You idiot...! Don't kill yourself YET! There's still a chance...don't blow it...
<Niki> Quit running off.  Next you go flying off and never stop.
<Rachel> . o O (Please...hear me...just....)

<Tori> What happens after the gate's opened?
* Niki holds Rahne firmly.
<GMStoren> Khyros strides up to the two, a ball of black energy begiining to form in his hand.
<Mystere> It should be interesting to see, whatever it is.
<Chrys> ...Not sure, Tori. Khryos is involved, though...it's bad, whatever it is.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Yes history shall be restored...
<Chrys> ...If it's bad for no other reason than having to listen to one of his stupid monologues.
<GMStoren> Julius stops, turning back as he feels the energy.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] ...but it shall not be by you highness! Your only future is death!

<Rhiana> ...
<GMStoren> Khyros casts Anicent! upon Julius! But just as the ball of energy is about to engulf his, Friedrich rushes in to shove the Vandole emperor out of the way, taking the blast!
* Rahne pauses a moment, watching events unfold as she predicted, despite everything she tried.. * ..
<GMStoren> « er him »
<Chrys> O_o Wh...
<GMStoren> [Friedrich] Gurk... My liege...
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh, crap. Rhiana's turn to angst for once. »
* Rachel flinches.
* Cody goes back to his emotionally detached look.
<GMStoren> Julius is dumbfounded, as the noble Flaresoul shivers once and collapses.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Haha... now, come Cody. Destiny awaits.. as does Thanatos...
<Chrys> .....
<Cody> Yes, Master Khyros...
<Rhiana> ...grrrr...
<Rachel> Damnit...! Cody!! Don't..!
* Rahne takes advantage of the shock filled event to try and reach Cody once again.. ! * No..!
<Rachel> <<Hit her. ^_->>
* Chrys tenses, walking forward slowly. "No...this isn't happening...history...history can't be repeating for a third...no...fourth time..."
<Rahne> << eat your popcorn!  ha!  I'm free!  free! >>
* Rhiana rushes over to her father's body
<GMStoren> Khyros blasts Rahne backwards, as they float up out of her reach.
* Niki 's grip slips as Rahne runs off. At the last second, she grabs her tail.
<GMStoren> From behind you, Purim screams. "Cody!"
* Rachel stares helplessly, sword dipping down...
* Cody 's eyes seem to ...widen slightly?
* Mystere glances at Rhiana, closes his eyes, and then returns his dispassionate gaze to the waterfall.
* Niki slides along the ground as Rahne runs foreward, still holding on to her tail.
<GMStoren> [Purim] Etienne! Don't.. for the love of Mana! Randi died so this wouldn't happen!
<Mystere> «ooc: Hehehe. »
* Cody 's eyes seem to slip in an out of focus, his stony expression beginning to look confused and unsure, "M...Mamma..?"
<GMStoren> [Khyros] And so shall you for interefereing.. you no longer serve the purpose of this failed Empire. begone.
<Chrys> ...goddess...it's happening...again...this is what Hawkeye meant about more than just my soul being at stake...
<Rhiana> ...you are so dead Khyros...
<GMStoren> Khyros sends a blast inot Purim, causing her to rell backwards inot the arms of Elman.
<Rachel> Purim..!
<Chrys> ......
<Cody> M...Mamma...! Ma...I...I...
* Cody seems to be struggling with himself!
<Rachel> <<I'm using up all my exclamation points for this session.>>
* Mystere looks down, curiously silent.
<Mystere> (m)...everything's burning.
* Niki gains her footing, pulling Rahne back, and holding her in her arms. "Stop running!"
<Mystere> ....
<GMStoren> [Elman] You.. you Vandole dog.. you have broken your word!
<Rachel> Cody.....
<Cody> I...I...
<Mystere> (m)...let it burn. I'm ready to say goodbye to this cursed world.
<GMStoren> Julius tries to get to his feet. "No.. this is not how it is supposed to be..."
* Cody holds onto his head.
* Rhiana stands up and looks at Khyros, eyes blazin' with anger and stuff
<Rachel> <<....and stuff? ;)>>
* Chrys gazes up at Khryos, eyes cold and uncaring... "Khyros...You will die...not today, maybe not tomorrow...but when you least expect it...you will die at our hands..."
<GMStoren> Khyros and Cody float up the waterfall, out of view as they pierce the clouds.
<Niki> «ooc: <Khyros> Is that stuff in your eyes, banana pudding? Its my favorite. »
<Mystere> «ooc: Khyros: Really? huh. Better be careful then. *kills the party now* »
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> Friedrich is still alive.. barely..
<Rhiana> ...I'm going, now.
* Rahne , a little frayed from Khyros' blast, holds her eyes skyward.. * No! No I can't leave him! I've failed too many times in the past! Not anymore!
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Rhiana starts to climb up the waterfall...or tries to..she's not that gifted
* Niki looks at Rahne. "Fine, but I get to go with you."
<GMStoren> Before you can make a motion Vandole charges the waterfall, Julius at the lead, and the Pandoran army cuts him off, firing inot them!
* Chrys places his hand on Rahne's shoulder slightly before turning around and slowly limping away. "You haven't failed...you're just human...you can't create miracles..."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ....everyone...
* Mystere attempts to follow, slashing through anyone who gets in his way.
* Rachel looks at Keylia...
<Chrys> I'm sick of this...I'm sick of losing...so it's time to run. Run and regroup...make sure that I don't lose next time...
* Niki runs up to the waterfall, Rahne in tow.
<GMStoren> Keylia walks to the falls. "Get to those falls before it wears off! Move!"
* Chrys looks at Keylia darkly. "You think we have a chance?"
<GMStoren> Rahne sees Cody's pendant drop next to her.
<Rachel> Yes, you fucking brigand! Move it!
<Rahne> I'm not done yet..  If it takes a miracle, then I'll make one happen..
<Niki> Fox girl...I mean Rahne.  See I remembered...anyways.  Hold on!
* Rachel rushes forward
<Niki> Huh..whats that?
* Rhiana sighs and goes to check on her father
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Noone else can... not now...
* Tori dashes over to the falls.
* Rahne looks down to pick up the pendant, whispering to herself.. * I'm coming..
<Niki> «ooc: Rahne orgasmed over the pendant. »
<GMStoren> [Friedrich] RHhiana.. I'm still.. protect.. Julius...
<Chrys> ......Keylia...I swear to god I'll pay you back for everything you've dragged my life through...
* Mystere makes a flying leap over the head of a guard and grabs onto the rocks behind the falls, climbing as the water carries him upwards. The water blasts past him in a deafening rush, tearing his cape away.
* Chrys turns around and rushes to the waterfall, a bit slower than the rest of the party.
* Rahne picks up the pendant and clutches it to her chest, her eyes glancing skyward.. *
<Rhiana> ...no...I will not.
<GMStoren> [Friedrich] Then save the Gemma..
<Rachel> KEEP MOVING! Don't just stand there, Rahne!!
* Niki pulls out the the Chaos Forge, and the Golden Axe. She uses them to start to climb up the falls.
* Niki looks down at Rahne after a second. "Hey, grab on!"
<Rhiana> ..I plan on it..but I have to help ylou first...
* Rahne trembles a bit, but swallows hard, and quickly sets off after Niki above. * C-coming..
<GMStoren> Keylia smirks a minute at Chrys as she starts struggling with some soldiers at the base, clearing a path. Purim is still off to the side, her father and medic attending to her...
* Chrys follows after Niki, using his knives like she is her axes. .oO(Enough pain...Key's right...we're mana knights...the only ones who CAN make a difference...)
* Mystere spits water, continuing to climb.
<Mystere> .oO( Everything...is going to turn to ashes.... )
* Niki starts climbing again, Rahne holding on.
<GMStoren> « anyone not go up? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Um, Keylia isn't »
<GMStoren> The party finds themselves carried upwards effrotlessly in the current...
<GMStoren> Julius makes one final grasp for the water, but Keylia cuts him off. "You've done quite enough, little Emperor."
<Cody> «ooc: Go Keylia! It's your birthday :D »
<Niki> «ooc: <Keylia> It is time to send you to the Next Dimension!!! »
* Rachel looks back towards Keylia as she heads upwards, worried....
<GMStoren> Keylia looks upwards and suddenly the currents below the group reverse... Keylia is left at the base!
<Niki> «ooc: AGH I made a DBZ ref! *stabs himself* »
<Rachel> (w) Keylia....be safe.
<GMStoren> [Julius] You annoyance... you've doomed us all!

<GMStoren> >> Julius's attack is parried! Julius second attack is parried!
<Rachel> <<Pretty pretty Keylia!>>
<Niki> «ooc: >> Julius jumps up and down swinging his sword, just out of reach of Keylia. "Let me hit you." ;_; »

<GMStoren> ~~ RESUME ~~
* Niki looks down as the light flashes. "Wow, pretty light show."
<Chrys> ...What the...
* Rachel stares in horror down at the light flash..... "Keylia.....what did you do...."
<Rahne> ..I wonder what happened..
* Chrys clenches his fists as he hears the name Keylia. "...no..."
<Mystere> ....nngh...Khyros...
<GMStoren> The light soon fades, and the land below seems utterly quiet as the clouds obscure your sight for a short while...
* Mystere ignores the chaos below, intent on following the necromancer.
<Niki> Aww, no more light show.
* Chrys closes his eyes, a few tears falling from them, and he turns around and follows Mystere...
<GMStoren> You feel the current ebb, and you find yourself at the top of the waterfall. All around you is lush green gardens, and pillars of some forgotten civilization form what appears to be a rough path forward...
<Cody> «ooc: Depression Blues from LOM works well here :) »
* Mystere reaches up as he walks, tearing the soaked mask from his face and spitting out silt and water.
* Mystere is revealed as...Roric!
*** Mystere is now known as Roric
<Roric> «ooc: Yay. »
<Cody> «ooc: *claps* ^^ »
<GMStoren> Water flows all around you in a rivers that seem to trail off and cascade off the edge of the land itself. You are certainly no longer in the world you knew.
* Chrys opens his eyes and sighs, looking at Roric remove the mask. "Got tired of playing around, I hope...?"
* Niki looks at Rahne. "You can let go now. We made it to the top." ^^
* Roric ignores Chrys utterly, marching ahead.
<Rhiana> So very peaceful here...
* Chrys shakes his head and quiets down, following Roric closely.
<Rachel> ....
* Rahne lets go of Niki, curtsieing to her, and stepping with a manner of reverance into the Pureland.. *
* Rachel heads onwards, clenching the hilt of her sword so hard that her knuckles are white...
* Niki blinks, shrugs, then relatches the golden axe to the back of her armor.
<GMStoren> You feel completely calm, yet aware of the fact something is amiss.
* Niki looks as Joch. "Do you know where he went?"
* Rahne keeps her ears low, and her eyes wide, feeling incredibly at home in this place.. *
* Rahne looks for a path to travel.. *
* Roric gradually becomes less tense as he walks, the anger seeping out of him to be replaced by an eerie calm.
<GMStoren> Joch wiggles his way out of Niki's sleev, waterlogged. He kwehs, looking at the row of pillars leading inot the center of the floating land.
* Chrys growls, "calm" being an uncomfortable feeling for him...
* Niki looks at the pillars. "That way?"
<Roric> «ooc: Do we have to fight 10 dragons first? »

* Niki puts Joch on top of her head. "Okay, lets go then." :D
* Niki starts walking off towards the pillars.
<GMStoren> « and for the first time in forever, the group is alone.. ^^ »
* Rahne begins silently along the path between the ancient stone columns.. * ..oh Cody..
* Rachel staggers suddenly, gasping out
* Chrys looks back at Rachel. "Rache...what's happening...?"
<Rachel> Hhnnnhh!
* Rachel grabs her head and twist faintly.
<Rachel> <<twists>>
* Roric glances behind him.
* Rahne sways a bit.. leaning on one of the pillars and sucking in a sharp breath.. *
<GMStoren> Rachel's gasp echoes across the serene landscape.
<Niki> «ooc: * Rachel farts* Ahh, much better. »
* Chrys stops and turns around. "Rache...?"
* Rachel pales and she pants, staring blankly ahead...as if......seeing something...?
<Roric> ...
* Niki continues to walk ahead.
* Rachel then staggers again, hissing.. "H...hurts...Cody... I saw Cody...!"
<Chrys> ...Cody...?
<Rachel> <<...I almost typoed that as kissing.>>
<GMStoren> « heh! »
* Rahne lets out a small whimper, and presses her her hand against her forehead.. *
* Chrys offers Rachel a hand. "Come on...this isn't a good sign.."
<Rahne> << nuke 2nd her.. >>
* Rachel takes the hand... "...."
<GMStoren> Niki steps on some uneven tiles, apparently part of the anicent road.
* Chrys rushes ahead to catch up with Roric
<Cody> «ooc: Everyone ignores Rahne's pain. Bitches ;) »
* Rahne shakes her head, gatheing what she can of her wits, and darts off down the path with abandon, forgetting the reverence for this place for another day.. *
<Roric> «ooc: I'm ignoring everyone's pain. »
* Rachel follows...
<Chrys> «ooc: I ignored Rahne's because I figured it was the same as Rache's, but less minor. »
* Chrys looks to his side at Rahne. "You feel what Rache did, too...?"
* Niki looks up, trying to see Joch, but can only see his beak. "Umm, now what?"
* Rahne whispers under her breath. as she runs.. * ..I'm coming.. hold on..
* Roric stares after her for a minute, then shakes his head and wipes a sewaty lock from his brown.
<Roric> «ooc: brow »
<Roric> ...come on, people. Let's be heroes.
* Roric runs after Rahne.
<GMStoren> Rahne catches up to Niki, as they reach an intersection in the holy land. Trees cover the left side, and an aquedect runs off to the left. Ahead is what seems like a shrine of some type, the roof long gone to the sands of time.
<Niki> Umm...
* Rahne momentarily examines the area, before heading into the shrine.. *
* Niki walks towards the Shrine. "Lets go this way."
<GMStoren> On the floor is a 8 pointed star tile, reminsicent of what the party once encountered in Wendel, the tiling underneath it causing it to jut out in disarray.
<GMStoren> Laying on the floor by it is JUlius's royal cloak.
<Niki> The people who made this house suck at making stuff. :D
* Niki picks up the cloak.
* Niki tries it on.
<Chrys> ...
<Niki> Ooh. :D
<Roric> «ooc: Niki is Marlene. »
<Chrys> Y...eah.
<GMStoren> Niki finds it's a bit big for her, dragging on the floor.
* Chrys shakes his head, going forward. "Not enough time, guys..."
<Niki> This thing is to long.  I should cut off the end.
<Roric> We have all the time...in the world.
* Rahne examines the area, looking for a new direction to head in.. *
* Roric chuckles quietly to himself as he advances.
<GMStoren> Chrys steps on something.
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> Fucking dog shit. -_- »
* Chrys looks back at Roric, opening his mouth to say something, but closing it as he hears something snap.
<GMStoren> It's a phoenix bracelet, cracked, apparently from impact.
<Chrys> ...Oh...hells..
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: NOT AGAIN! ;_; :_: ;_; »
<Rachel> ......
* Chrys lifts his foot and bites his lip
* Rachel twitches once. Just once.
<Cody> «ooc: If she twitched twice, lookout! »
<Rachel> <<Heh.>>
<Niki> «ooc: * Runs up to Rache's face, and manipulates her face to make her twitch again. »
<Cody> «ooc: The castle explodes...No I'm just kidding! »
* Tori looks at the bracelet.
<Tori> Fate has a nasty sense of symbolism. 
<GMStoren> There's a faded inscription on the wall by the tile.
* Chrys reaches down and picks up the bracelet. "We need to hurry."
* Rahne examines the writing.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Written on the wall in blood, "NO BEER AND NO TV MAKE CODY...SOMETHING SOMETHING..." »
* Niki walks up to a nearby wall...not the one with writing, and sits down.
<Chrys> «ooc: You got that backwards, Cody. »
<Cody> «ooc: It's no TV and Beer? ^^ Well, you knew what I meant! »
<Niki> «ooc: No, its "...SOMETHING SOMETHING...CODY MAKE TV NO AND BEER NO" »
<Cody> «ooc: OOH! How fucking stupid of me! :D »
<Roric> «ooc: ... »
<GMStoren> "This is...plac..cast off...sin an...burden. Road... ahead... open to the... emma's chosen."
<Niki> «ooc: Emma's chosen? Lets go get her and her Emma motor real quick. ;) »
* Rachel runs a shaking hand through her hair as she reads the words.....
<Rahne> << No, it's "No beer and no TV make Cody go.. something.. something..  "go crazy?"  don't mind if I do!  Ablooblooblooobloooo! >>
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: I know ;) »
* Rahne ponders the words.. *
<GMStoren> « is everyone egenrally near the thing? :) »
<Roric> «ooc: I am. »
<Niki> «ooc: Not really. ^^; »
<Rachel> <<I am>>
* Rahne walks back towards the center of the room.. * ..What sin? What burden..?
<Niki> «ooc: I'm sitting near another wall of the bilding. »
* Chrys looks at the wall, piecing together words. "Place to cast off sin and burden... road ahead open to the...what's that...? Gemma's chosen...does that mean us...?"
<Rachel> I'd assume. 
<Cody> «ooc: I, Cody the Gemma catcher, choose you! »
<GMStoren> As rahne ponders the words, the tiel begins to glow, and the star spins upwards from the floor around everyone...
<GMStoren> « er Tile ^^ »
* Niki scratches her head. "What a geemma?"
* Rahne 's breath catches again.. *
<GMStoren> Niki watches as the star spins faster and faster, causing her friends forms to glow brightly, and fade from view.
<Niki> Whoa!
<Niki> That was neat.  Do it again. ^_^
<Roric> «ooc: Niki is insane. »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: Go on the damn Star! ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm not joking, actually. »
<Cody> «ooc: Spin and dance! ;D »
<GMStoren> [Flora] Niki... must go inot sacred place! Friend waiting!
<Cody> «ooc: well, the profile now says psychopathic brat ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: She is clinically insane by psychological standards. »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh well. »
<Niki> Oh...you mean its like those glowing doors at home?
<Cody> «ooc: Roric: Howso, besides the fact she wants to kill everyone? :) »
<Roric> «ooc: It's the apparent end of the world. She's almost certainly about to die unpleasantly. »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Niki is Maria if Sanguine more resembled Sana Kurata. »
<Cody> «ooc: Tee hee :) »
<GMStoren> [Flora] Yes.. sister know them. It safe! Get Cody!
* Niki hops on the star and points upwards. "Here I come to save the day!"
<Cody> «ooc: Oh god :o »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<GMStoren> The ring's voice fades and Niki is similarly transported.
<GMStoren> « How.. cheesy. ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Niki...is...mighty mouse. »
<Niki> «ooc: Thanks. ^_^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Well she has that cloak on. ^^; »
<GMStoren> The group stumbles out inot a large collesium of sorts, Niki landing on the floor, dazed. x_X
<Chrys> ...
* Niki has swirly eyes. "Here I come...to save the.....whhhhoooaaa." @_@
* Rachel staggers a bit but regains her footing...
<GMStoren> The circular shape of the age old structure is preserved, but it's not so much the decorum as the fact there is a dragon in front of you.
<Chrys> ...Great, what now...? You'd better be here, Khryos, or I'll be pissed...
<Rachel> ....fuck.
<GMStoren> It doesn't seem solid though.. the body flickers in and out of being.
<Roric> ...things are falling apart.
* Rachel looks spooked for a moment.
<GMStoren> [Dragon] Knights... the power of Mana is fading... and the one with the mark of the cursed One is here.
<Chrys> ...Cursed one?
* Niki stands up. "Ugh...my stomach is spinning in circles."
* Roric looks up at the dragon. "Tell me...is this the end of the world?"
<Chrys> «ooc: Pedro! »
<Rahne> M-may we pass?
<GMStoren> [Dragon] This is the end of the world. What will come after it is what will be decided...
<Roric> Is there any hope at all
<Roric> ?
<Rahne> No..  it's not over yet.  I won't give up..  May we pass by here?
<GMStoren> [Dragon] The Seed of Destruction must not be planted, or else hope is lost. Only the Seed of Creation will stop the great unravelling. Go forth Knights... there is nothing we can do but pray.
<Roric> ...I don't pray.
* Rahne immediately proceeds.. *
<GMStoren> The images disappears.
* Roric looks down, smiling. "I just...do."
* Roric follows.
<Chrys> ...That's the way to think, Roric...
<Roric> Heh heh.
* Chrys follows in his normal non-leaderly fashion
<Roric> It's funny.
<GMStoren> « one second.. »
<Cody> «ooc: BRB while you're doing one second :) »
<Roric> I've spent the last half of my life hiding from people who wanted me dead.
<Roric> But I didn't really accomplish anything.
* Niki follows.
<Roric> ...
* Roric smiles to himself, fingering the Mana Boomerang.
<Roric> I'm done living for nothing.
* Tori look as Roric out of the corner of his eye.
<Niki> «ooc: Sorry, no comment, that joke is to old. »
<Roric> I'm ready to die for something.
<Roric> «ooc: Good. »
* Chrys grins. "Good...let's do this, Ror'. We won't die without a fight, will we...?"
* Niki looks at Roric. "Why die? That would suck. You can live and uhh....do stuff." :D
<GMStoren> Where the dragon once stood is the gateway outside the arena, leading to a lake and forest...
<Cody> «ooc: You're right, Roric. She is mentally ill :) »
<GMStoren> « Yes. »
* Rachel continues onwards, shoving her doubts and hurt to the back of her mind and calling on past defenses to make herself stronger....
<GMStoren> As you look up inot the distance it seems like something is missing, but you put your finger on it. The natural path winds around several rocky waterfalls, as the trees become thicker. Soon they open up inot a wide clearing...
* Rahne examines the area.. *
<GMStoren> In front of you lays what could only be described as an enourmous network of roots, leading up to a wizened stump that is wider than any tree you could possibly imagine. It once held life, but now is nothing more than a withered monument. And it is atop this, that Cody stands, looking up at the great falls behind it.
<Rahne> Cody..!
<Roric> ...let's do this thing.
<Rachel> ...Cody...
<GMStoren> Khyros is off to his side, a grin playing on his lips as he realizes they are not alone.
<Roric> «ooc: BRB »
<Niki> «ooc: <Roric> ...let's do this thing. * Roric takes a piss on a nearby tree. »
* Rahne endevours to clamber up the roots in an attempt to reach Cody.. *
* Cody turns around, looking at the party blankly, but there is a deep running current of darkness behind his pupiless eyes.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Still insisting on rudely interrupting me. I thought you would have learned by now...
<Cody> ...Do not interfere.
* Rachel mutters something about Rahne trying to commit suicide....and then turns her icy gaze on Khyros. "I really wish you would shut the fuck up."
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> Hey, thats my line. »
<Chrys> ...
* Cody swings his staff downwards, hitting Rahne in the hand in order to loosen her grip!
* Rahne grimaces, and lets out a yelp! * No! No, I'm not stopping!
<Rachel> .....
* Chrys draws his knives. "C...Gemma...Khryos.. You aren't going to win. We're too stubborn to die."
* Rahne tries to pull herself up.. * I'm not letting you go!
<Niki> Yeah, dying sucks.
<Cody> ...Gemma. So clear. I didn't see it then. All you see me as is the Gemma. I am destined to die and dictate the revolution of worlds...
<Rachel> ....that's not true.
* Cody hits Rahne in the hand again, harder, causing her to lose her grip!
<Rachel> Cody...Etienne....
<Chrys> ...That's not Cody, Rachel...
<Chrys> If it was Cody, I'd call him Cody.
<Rachel> He's in there, god damnit. 
<Roric> It's all over, Khyros. One way or another. But...if I die here, I'll drag you screaming into the pit with me. This I swear.
* Chrys mutters. "In there, but not him.."
* Rahne slides down a bit, but struggles to regain a hold.. the tears flow now, and her the welts on her hands are becoming apparent, but she tries to go up again.. *
* Cody actually smirks at Chrys, altough the emotionlessness is still there, "Will you destroy me then? I knew you hated me, but this...*tsk* This is unthinkable..."
<GMStoren> [Khyros] I see you still seek death. very well then... how better to have it, then by the hands of your own friend.
<Rachel> ....
* Cody grins further, and hops down almost skillfully from the tree, landing on his two feet.
<Cody> . . .
<Cody> ...I will not let you interfere with my destiny.
* Chrys grins. "No, treehugger. I won't destroy you. That'd be too good for you, don't you think...? Too good for your destined, unloved self... Shut the hell up and bring Cody back."
* Rachel steps forward, gazing at Cody....
<GMStoren> >> Druid Cody appears! Necromancer Khyros appears!
* Rahne slides back down.. abandoning her climbing attempt.. *
<GMStoren> [Khyros] If you do not destory him, he will destroy you....
<Roric> *draws the Mana Weapon* ...Rachel...are you going to be able to do this...?
<Niki> I thought I wasn't suppose to kick his butt...only the guy with the stupid beard.
<Rachel> ....
* Rachel 's face is stoic...
* Cody raises his staff, and begins to chant in a familar tounge, only with his montone voice, it seems unfamilar and harsh.
<Chrys> Niki...don't kick Cody's butt. Rachel's right...he's still in there...but if you kick Khryos's butt, you'll free Cody. And get your mallet back.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] You could never save him.. and now you cannot save yourselves... go Cody... show them your birthright.
<GMStoren> >> Cody's action!
<Rahne> << Hmm..  speedy..  ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « being evil is always a good thing ;) »
<Cody> (Monotone) ...You are strong...
<Cody> ...
<Cody> I am stronger.
<Niki> «ooc: LOL, Cody yielded ot the powers of evil so his stats got pumped up by 20 automatically. ;) »
<Cody> Cold black iron, red hot iron, white hot iron. With iron taste and iron smell, ignite my rage to buring flame! To sear! To burn! To quell!
* Cody strikes the ground with the tip of his staff, as the ground heaves. The groundswell lurches forward until is rests beneath the enemy. Suddenly all hell breaks loose in a fiery fountain of magma and fire!
<Rachel> <<Heh!  This new keyboard has a button that opens the calculator!>>
<Rachel> <<Spiffy ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh FUN :D »
<Roric> ....nngah!
<Niki> «ooc: Eww...Multimedia keyboard. »
* Chrys stands unflinching.
<Roric> Damn it!
<GMStoren> >> Cody wide casts Fire Broquet!
<Niki> «ooc: I have one, but the multimedia functions aren't installed. ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Maybe Rahne will up my strength now. ;) »
<GMStoren> « gimme a sec here :) »
* Niki readies her axe. "Okay...the old man gets to be chopped up now." ^_^
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. I almost have a feeling I KNOW what Rahne is gonna do. »
<Rahne> << Actually, I am thinking about Blaze of Glorying.. >>
<Cody> «ooc: THAT'S what I thought you were gonna do ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: We all saw that coming. ;) »

<Niki> «ooc: Er...quotation marks in there somewhere. »
<Roric> «ooc: What's Rachel's current charge? »
* Chrys pats out the flames. "I have spells, too, kid..."
* Chrys starts chanting...
<GMStoren> « full. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: What's Rahne's? »
<Niki> «ooc: Whats my charge? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « 2/4. ^^ »
* Rachel continues to gaze at Cody...
* Rahne casts ¤Blaze of Glory! A fiery pillar erupts in the midst of the battlefield, whirling itself out of existence and leaving behind Salamando! He looks sternly at Rahne for a moment, before closing his eyes and calling down a flaming tornado to surround her! The flaming vortex slowly fades out, as does Salamando. "Be careful, girl," he says before vanishing.. *
* Cody stares at the party with a blank, emotionless face.
<Chrys> Guys...Keep Rahne alive...I have a plan...
<Niki> «ooc: Is that Rahne's charge or mine? ^^; »
* Roric looks at Rahne. "I'll do what I can."
<Roric> «ooc: Can someone else heal her? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Tori can, Rachel can. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Blaze of Glory! She ebcomes the target of all spells this turn!
<Rahne> Sorry guys..  I think this is best..  please work around it..

<Roric> «ooc: I mean, anyone can using an item. »

* Rachel keeps her sword dipped down...
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: Techically, doesn't BoG only work a turn anyway? »
* Rahne smiles at Cody, a calmness sweeping over her.. * We're coming, Cody.. don't give up..
<Rahne> << Yep. ^^ >>
* Tori raises Seven Day Sunrise and aims, carefully.
<GMStoren> « btw you can try to strike Khyros... but it'll be diffcult. ^^ »
* Tori fires at Khyros!
<GMStoren> >> Tori fires at Khyros, the energy bullet whizzing by Cody and plnating itself in the sleeve of the necromancer's cloak. 26 damage! Charge at 2/4!
<Cody> ...What are you doing? Do not do that.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] You little toys cannot save you.
<Niki> Man, this thing is getting in the way...
* Niki takes Julius' cloak that she had on and throws it off to the side.
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
* Chrys pulls in his knives close to his chest, then throws his arms wide. Trails of light and wind dance and play between the outstretched blades, and then flow towards Rahne, covering them in a transparent film of light...
<Chrys> Twist and twine, to turn and seek the places fine and deep. Let no malady pierce the designs I make!
<GMStoren> >> Chrys casts Retribution on Rahne!
<Roric> «ooc: That's a cool chant. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Thank DNW for the chant. »
<Cody> «ooc: That's a DNW one, right? :) »
<Cody> «ooc: THought so! Any cool Chants...they're prolly DNW :D »
<Roric> «ooc: DNW is god. »
<Niki> «ooc: Cody just said that we all suck at making up chants. ;_; »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: Er...no I didn't...er.. ;_; »
* Roric spits on two fingers and draws a slow circle in the air with them. "I will match magic with magic!" With a flash, the traced circle becomes a round, incandescent barrier. It spirals through the air to settle in front of rahne. "Ha hah!"
<Roric> «ooc: Must remember to capitalize names in aliases. »
<GMStoren> >> Roric casts Green Shield on Rahne! Her spirit increases by 16!
<Niki> «ooc: Shit, I could use that. »
<Roric> «ooc: Not when BoG is on. »
<Niki> «ooc: Well not when Roric is cannon fodder. »

<Niki> Okay, here I go!
<GMStoren> « wow, with her Emel, that bonus is ever better than 16 ^^ »
* Niki runs straight for Cody, her axe ready.
<Rahne> << Oooh...  yes... ^_^  Spiffiness. ^^ >>
<Niki> «ooc: Lemme finish. ^^; »
* Niki jumps in the air, swinging at Cody, missing on purpose. When she lands she dashes towards Khyros and slashes him instead.
* Rahne wideyes a moment. * No..! Khyros, Niki! Khyros! O_o
* Rahne breathes a little easier.. *
<GMStoren> >> Niki attacks Khyros! She manages to swipe at his black cape, but the dulled Chaos forge doesn't seem to peirce his flesh... 66 damage!
<Cody> ...You cannot kill Master Khyros. He is unkillable. You're wasting your breath...
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 3/4!
<Rahne> We're not killing him..  we're saving you..
<Roric> ...we can try.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] You waste your strength...
* Cody chuckles darkly.
<Niki> Oh shut up.  I bet I can kick his butt.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<Rahne> << Spot me a few Hp, Rache? ^^ >>
<Niki> «ooc: Rahne: Yeah right...she has a full charge bar...what do YOU think she's gonna do. ^^; »

<Rachel> <<Here I go. ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Uh oh. ;) »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I wanna kill Cody :( »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
* Rachel stares at Cody blankly.......her voice is soft, softer than you've ever heard it.
<Rachel> Remember me, Cody. Remember us. I'm not Rahne. I'm not Chrys. I'm not Rhiana. You know me as well as you know yourself. You know I can't let you harm these people who stand beside me. My family.
* Rachel dashes forward suddenly, sprinting at Cody...!
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> Mama mia! Here we go! Yeehee! »
* Rachel grabs Cody by his left shoulder, tugging him close to her. So close he can smell the familiar scent of her hair.
<Rachel> .....I love you, Etienne....not for the Gemma part of you...not for the Prince....not even for the Cody part. I love all of you......so forgive me.
* Rachel suddenly draws the Claymore back to slam it hilt first HARD into Cody's temple before drawing her hand back to punch him in the stomach!
<Rachel> <<Vicious intentions. ^_^>>
* Cody cries out!
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Wow. O_o »
* Rahne winces! * Cody!
* Niki drops her axe, rubbing her eyes.
* Chrys blinks, stunned.
<Cody> «ooc: Niki is so passe ;) »
* Niki kneels down and picks up her axe again, still looking onwards.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel uses Vicious Intentions! Cody is knocked by by the knight despite her semi-melted legendary blade... 234 damage!
* Rachel brushes her lips against Cody's forehead lightly, hesitant to release him... "....I'm sorry...."
* Rachel jumps back!
<Rahne> << Amusingly, the first spell I'd initially considered was Sylvan Martyr. ^^; >>
<Cody> ...You...You...Bitch!
<Roric> ...Cody.
<Rhiana> So she hit him..all good women need to smack their men around a bit

<Niki> «ooc: Man...is Rhiana here or with her father? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « natural action.. »

* Cody points his staff at the enemy, and thousands of vines erupt from the tip and ensnare them all! Cody then holds his hands on either side of his now hovering and spinning staff, and funnels of intense wind kick all the enemies high into the air! Cody reclaims his staff and slams it into the ground, causing a forest of stone spikes to appear where the now falling enemies land!

<Rachel> Cody...damn you....
* Rahne 's breath flees her body, and she drops to her knees looking at Cody one last time before her eyes roll up and she slumps over backwards.. *
<Rachel> Think of your mother....of what you're doing....you don't want this...
<GMStoren> « Rache is 9, Niki 31.. Niki is NOt critical ^^ »

<GMStoren> [Khyros] Marvelous... there is no question now Cody...
* Cody blinks, "She..."
* Rachel grabs at the wound at her side....she gazes at Cody, leaning on her sword for balance... "Yes....she....is. You called her 'Mamma'. She loves you."
<Niki> That does it!  I don't care who you are...I'm gonna kick your sorry little butt!

<Niki> «ooc: This'll take a minute. New Sky Missle, but I haven't done the alias yet. ^^; »
* Niki points the Chaos Forge to the sky. "Sister...help me. Let me fly..."
* Cody opens his eyes and stares at Rachel for a moment, looking unsure.
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Cody.. you are gemma.. you have no need of friends where you shall soon be going...
* Cody blinks, and his eyes once again go blank, "No friends. No hope. Eternity..."
* Niki closes her eyes and her ring faintly glows. A rather large flower sprouts under Niki's feet and rapidly sprouts upwards launching her into the air. She looks down at Cody.
<Rachel> ......
<Niki> I'm sorry sister, Cody...but....YOU SUCK!  SKY MISSLE!
<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Niki> «ooc: Not exactly what I want, but its okay for now... »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
* Niki falls back down to the ground, the flower catching her and setting her down before vanishing.
<Niki> «ooc: Doh! »
<Niki> «ooc: Forgot the throwing line! »
* Cody looks up to Niki quickly, before he's plowed into!
<Niki> «ooc: Transpose this. ^^; »
* Niki holds her axe with both hands. She spins around a few times to gain momentum then launches her axe at Cody.
<GMStoren> >> Niki uses Sky Missile! Cody is cracked across the face by the huge axe... 199 damage!
<Niki> «ooc: I should Odinson'ed. ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Should have. »
<GMStoren> « well it's alright.. »
* Cody 's cheek is split open, lifeblood running down his cheek.
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Holy crap...if Cody din't have Super Boss HP, he would've died in one hit. »
* Niki runs up to Cody and yanks her axe out.
<Niki> «ooc: Damn Fire Broquet. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<GMStoren> « yes, damn it ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
<Roric> «ooc: See, I told you PvP sucks in this system. ^_~ »

<Niki> «ooc: Cody should hit me and cause like 5 or 6 damage. ;) »
* Rachel grabs the pendant Cody gave her and tugs it free from around her neck....she holds it up to Cody, eyes flashing.... "Look around you, Etienne.....Cody.....no friends...? We came here......we fought to SAVE you....because we NEED you...."
* Cody steps back a bit, blinking
* Rachel glows faintly as she summons Divine Grace to heal herself....
<Rachel> Your strength...
<Chrys> «ooc: Cody: Player versus Player »
<Rachel> Your kindness...
<Rachel> Your courage...
<Niki> «ooc: Damn you! Wide cast it!! »
<Rachel> We NEED you...
<Niki> «ooc: Please? ^^; »
<Rachel> <<Uh. Yeah. I'd heal you like 7 HP. >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Niki, don't ruin the drama. »
<Niki> «ooc: Er...unless I'm gonna get critical cond next round. ;) »
<Rachel> Open your eyes. We would all give our LIVES for you...
<GMStoren> >> Rachel casts Divine Grace! She recovers 159 HP!
* Cody begins to breathe quicker.
<Rachel> Some of us already have.
<Niki> «ooc: <Niki> Speak for yourself! <Rachel> SHUT UP BITCH! I'm trying to be melodramatic. »
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<GMStoren> >> Cody wavers...
<Roric> «ooc: Whenever someone tries to be dramatic at ALL in an RPG, annoying people always chime in and call it "melodramatic". »
<Rachel> I'm....right....here....
<Niki> «ooc: Roric: Yep. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Ror, I don't. Mainly because I was the first one to be called such in the face of acting ;P »
* Cody begins to sway, his eyes focusing and unfocusing.
* Rachel answers the silent pleas out loud now....
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Cody... get away from her! You are above her! They want you only s you can die for them!
<Rachel> I always have been...
<Rachel> I always will be...
* Niki looks at Cody, a fire in her eyes....still pretty pissed. She doesn't say anything.
<Roric> «ooc: All your characters do, though. But thgat's not really annoying as much. Uh, anyhow. »
<Cody> R...R....You're alive...?
<Rachel> Yes... yes, gods....Cody... I'm alive....
<Cody> I...I...
* Cody holds his head and screams, falling back!
<Niki> «ooc: Aww, can't I attack once more? ^^; »
<Rachel> Niki...! Attack Khyros...!
<Roric> «ooc: Khyros is still cruising for a bruising. »
<GMStoren> Khyros's eyes widen as a wispy black form is dragged screaming out of Cody's body!
* Niki doesn't say anything, still intent on Cody.
<Chrys> «ooc: NIKI IS FOOL »
<Rachel> He's healed, Niki...look...the darkness left him...!!
* Rachel laughs to herself, tears running now... "Oh gods...."
* Cody stirs a bit, his face once again regaining it's warmth and kindness even though his eyes are closed. ^^;
<Niki> NOOO!
<Niki> «ooc: One sec. ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: Slight change to this alias... »
<Rachel> <<Please tell me you're not gonna kill Cody. O_o>>
<GMStoren> >> At the same time a wave of energy surges from the stump, epxloding outward, and forcing Khyros to cringe. "The fools..."
<Cody> «ooc: ...If she does...I'll kill her :D »
<Rachel> <<I'll kill her first :D>>
<GMStoren> >> The party recovers with 1 HP!
<Roric> Ugh...what...
<Niki> «ooc: NO, lemme attack. ;_; »
* Roric pushes himself to one knee. "Not...dead...yet?"
<Niki> «ooc: Or better yet...let the party see me intent on kicking Cody's ass. ;) »
* Cody sits up slightly, his eyes no longer blank and dead looking, but warm and very, very confused, "...Where am I...? Everyone...?"
* Rahne stands.. extremely disoriented.. * Ugh..
<Rachel> .......C.....Cody...
<Roric> «ooc: Pooh, I didn't get to do my thing this session. »
<Cody> I'm...I'm free...?
<Chrys> Ghkks..
* Rahne 's head snaps up at the sound of Cody's voice.. * ..Cody?
<Cody> I'm...I'm bleeding?
* Chrys picks himself up... "Cody...that better be you...if it's just something using your body, I'm gonna be pissed..."
* Rachel holds the wound across her side, staggering faintly...
* Cody puts a hand to his face, his hand drawing away blood.
<Niki> «ooc: Okay, ready. :D »
* Roric stands with agonizing slowness. "Not...not dead yet." He laughs weakly. "Cody...that you?"
<Cody> Chrys...What's going on? Where is this...?
<GMStoren> Khyros's cape starts fluuetring in a dark breeze. "...fools.... death.. death to all of you... the balck shadow looms... Thanatos..."
* Niki looks up at Cody..."Your time is up..."
* Tori pushes himself slightly up from his face-forward position on the ground and hacks up a pretty large amount of blood before gingerly standing up all the way.
<Chrys> ...Don't ask...
<Rachel> Niki.....!!!
* Rahne runs towards her friend..! * Cody..!
* Niki holds her axe up in the air as Cody lightning bolts strike the blade. What appears to be Niki's soul emerges from her body looks down at her body. Both body and soul begin to chant while the blade absorbs the energy around her.
<Niki> From the depths of my body I call upon my soul to aid me. Through the eternal strength of the spirits we call up on thy inner strength. From life to death, Lightning to dust. Odinson Catastrophe!
* Niki lowers the now glowing axe as the lightning dies. She takes a dashing stance and runs towards 20. She runs past Cody, only barly hitting him with the edge of her axe, tearing his shirt. She continues her dash towards Khyros, swinging her axe with all her might. As the blade hits Khyros the absorbed lightning releases an electral discharge. For a few seconds small static field can be seen around Khyros, it then disappears.
* Cody turns to Niki quickly, "W...What?"
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Roric> «ooc: Mixed up a bit there, Niki. »
<GMStoren> « heh ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. YOU NEED TO STOP BlOWING UP THE CASTLE NIKI :P »
<Niki> «ooc: :D »
<Niki> «ooc: I planned to do that. ^^; »
<Chrys> ...I knew she wasn't all right in the head, but..oi.
<Niki> «ooc: *deletes the Odinson Khyros alias* »
<Cody> ...Did I hurt you? What's going on...?
* Cody begins to sound panicked.
<GMStoren> >> Niki uses Odinson Catastrophy! She attacks Khyros with all her fury, the blade striking home!
* Chrys picks himself up and stumbles over to Rachel. "Cody okay....?"
* Rachel staggers....
<Rachel> .....y...yeah...
* Rahne bowls into Cody, catching him in an embrace.. * Cody..
<GMStoren> >> 256 damage!
<Roric> It's...good to have you back, Cody. It's...the end of the world...and love is all that matters.
* Rachel gazes at Cody and Rahne...
<GMStoren> Khyros begins to bleed onot the earthy floor...
* Cody winces, but holds Rahne onto Rahne, looking happy, "I...It's really you! All of you! You're alive!"
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Ha...hah...ha...HAHAHA!
<Chrys> ...Good....meanwhile, those of us not romantically entwined with you have a bigger problem, Cody...
<Rachel> .....shit...
* Chrys picks up his knives off the ground.
* Rahne hugs him, making her tail curling around the two as best she can manage.. * I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry...
<Roric> «ooc: I don't suppose we can all heal like heck before we have to fight something mean? »
<Cody> Sorry...why...You didn- *Looks up at Khyros* ...No!
<GMStoren> [Khyros] In my death you only sign your.. souls away to.. him.... my dark Lord... take this body and punish the fools... for Chaos deems it!
* Niki looks off into space, her axe still embeded in Khyros. "See...I..I did it. I saved him..."
* Niki collaspes, holding on to her axe as it chunks out of Khyros and lands next to her.
* Rahne watches Khyros onward.. but unwilling to let go.. *
<GMStoren> Khyros slumps over to the floor, deefated.
<GMStoren> >> Victory!
<Rachel> ....
<Chrys> Fuck...
<GMStoren> As Khyros's corpse withers to dust, a black fog rises from it...
<Cody> ....What is...?
* Chrys mutters as things start to fall in place. "Cody was just a decoy..one that could be used in a pinch, but...the real sacrifice...was Khryos himself...?"
* Cody begins to shake.
<Roric> Is that...Thanatos?
<Chrys> It better not be, Roric, but I have a bad feeling it is...
<Rahne> ..Cody..?
<Roric> ...then this very long day...ain't over yet.
<Cody> I can't...Move I can't...It's...
<GMStoren> It takes the form of a gigantic skeletal face, laughing... a robe that holds the patterns of a dark galaxy hanging off it's anicent bones.
<Rachel> .....
<Chrys> ...Fuck. It is....History...is repeating...
<Cody> ...Thanatos...?
* Rahne hugs her trembling friend.. * No.. you're strong.. everything's gonna be okay..
* Rachel pauses before raising her sword...
<Rachel> ....bring it on.
<Roric> «ooc: END THERE »
<Chrys> «ooc: YES. »
<Niki> «ooc: ;_; No one gave a rats ass that Niki passed out. »
<Rachel> <<Now now. I'm sure the skeletal dude has to say something cool>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys was bleeding. He'll notice when it's time to run like hell. »
<Cody> I won't let you pollute this world!  I...
<Chrys> «ooc: BADUH CODY ;) »
* Cody tries to stand up, but fails, still being weak.
<Roric> «ooc: Too late. Cody sucks! »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh shut up :P »
<GMStoren> The Dark Lich casts an evil grin upon Rachel, raising it's hands. The wind begins to howl through the glade as the final battle for the future could well be at hand...
