Vin_Da_DM: Previously on Warriors of Destiny: After a day in hyperspace the Ettik and her crew grew closer to Krinsarr. To avoid planetary detection the ship exited hyperspace inside the planet�s atmosphere and landed on the surface.
Vin_Da_DM: There the Warriors met fellow Warriors Katie and Shinta. After learning that Katie had tagged Cain�s escape craft with a locator the crew set of North to follow him. Unable to convince Tewyn that Clarice was indeed alive he separated himself from the rest of the group as they traveled.
Vin_Da_DM: Approaching Cain�s suspected hideout the group�s hovercraft was attacked by an evil geomancer, Teresa. As the group recovered from the wreck Teresa summoned five of RD�s spider bots to aid in the battle.
Vin_Da_DM: Raising her pistol she gathered ice crystals for her attack before firing�
Vin_Da_DM A massive boom sounds as the ice attack swirls in the air toward the group. Halfway there it shatters, crashing into the snow a few inches in front of your feet.
Vin_Da_DM: $ Start
^^Katie^^ blinks.
^Vincent^: �Looks like that was a dud, you should try female Viagra there, toots.�
Claron shivers.
Luna_Faline growls, �What a bitch.�
^^Katie^^: �S�at it?� snorts.
Tewyn raises up out of the ground, �Tsk, tsk, lil lady�Can�t be letting you kill these humans�If anyone does it shall be me...now let�s me and you party.�
^Shinta looks over, �Seems he came back.�
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa the geomancer grins at Tewyn. Motioning with her hand she speaks slyly, �Capture the others. Leave him.�
^^Katie^^ gives Tewyn a sidelong glance, �Nice to see ya, Froggie.�
Tewyn smiles back��Your gonna be fun.�
Vin_Da_DM: The spider bots skitter across the snow, heading for the group as they pass Tewyn.
Claron stands shocked while thinking, �Yeah, he wants to start with me.�
Luna_Faline looks around at the spiders, extending my claws and hissing.
^Shinta draws his blade, �I always hate this part.�
^^Katie^^ whacks a bot with her staff as it nears her.
^^Katie^^: �I HATE spiders!�
^Vincent^: �So have any of you fought these bugs before?�
Tewyn starts walking toward Teresa sending a wave of earth toward her.
Vin_Da_DM: �I hope you guys can handle them!� Finn shouts as he leaps into the air towards one of the spider bots. Landing on the bot it slides back a hundred yards into the snow.
^^Katie^^�s emerald eyes blaze angrily she focuses on the bot she whacked, willing it to fold into itself.
^Vincent^: �Ohh, well?� runs towards one and swipes at the joint in one of the front legs.
Vin_Da_DM: Katie�s staff *pangs* off the leg of the spider bot. Several feet above her head the mass of tentacles aim at her and begin to fire at her�
Claron looks over at Tabris...�Shall we team it again?�
^Shinta watches closely then leaps at the tentacles slashing as they aim at ^^Katie^^.
^^Katie^^: �Thanks, Ducks.� She gives Shinta a quick trembling smile.
^Shinta gives ^^Katie^^ a familiar smile.
^^Katie^^ rolls out of the way of the fire, still focusing on the bot.
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa lifts her hand, mass of snow crashing into Tewyn�s earth wave. Pulling her other hand back spears of rock shoot toward Tewyn from the ground up.
^Vincent^ runs under a spider bot and climbs up the leg.
Claron watches as Tabris begins to run towards one of the spider bots with his black swords ready. As he jumps in the air, I lower his gravity to enable him to jump on its back.
Tewyn jumps back. �Ohhh, nice trick...guess I�ll have to show you mine now.�
Vin_Da_DM: Shinta�s slashes sever the bots tentacles, slowly the laser blasts die out as Katie�s power causes it to spark, screech and crunch down.
^^Katie^^: �Ha ha. Bastard.� she turns her attention to a bot a bit farther away, eyes still dancing angrily.
Luna_Faline goes to all fours and runs between a spiders legs, slashing at them with my extended claws.
Vin_Da_DM: �Vincent�s claws scrap off the paint on the legs, making a horrible noise in the process. Glancing at him the spider bot lifts his leg and send it into Vincent�s chest, sending him flying.
Tewyn slams his hands to the ground forming rock hand around Teresa and causing them to slam together.
Claron nods her head at Tabris indicating she is ready, then watches as he thrusts his obsidian sword into the where the heart of the beast is. As he does so, I make the gravity heavier to help Tabris hit the mark.
^Vincent^ lands on the ground with a loud thud, slowly gets to his feet and looks at the bot, then bolts forward tearing at the leg in front of him.
Vin_Da_DM: Tabris cringes as his swords bounce off a shield covering the spider bots hull. Suddenly the other functional bots gain shields as well.
^^Katie^^ feels a pressure behind her eyes as she feels the drain, but keeps concentrating.
Luna_Faline running out behind the spider I spin around and look at it. Wondering what the cloud would do to the spider, and not sure how it works. I hold up the paw that absorbed the cloud and aim it at the spider�s shield. I hold my breath trying to will something to happen.
^Shinta pauses... �Seems they were prepared.�
Claron curses loudly....�Damn it to hell!�
^^Katie^^ nods distractedly.
Vin_Da_DM: Tewyn�s rock hands crack and blow apart. Teresa dusts off her sleeves and grins. Lifting a hand she blows Tewyn a kiss, which turns into a massive red-hot rock mouth flying at him.
^^Katie^^ focuses on scrambling the shield on the bot in her sights, tiring, but unwilling to give an inch.
Vin_Da_DM: Katie finds her powers cause one of the bots shields to gap, before her mind is invaded with a dark presence.
^Vincent^ steps back eyeing the bot searching for a weakness.
^^Katie^^ gasps, �Shinta!! NOW!� staggering a bit.
Vin_Da_DM: The cloud mists out over Luna�s hand, then seems to pause hesitantly for a moment.
Tewyn pulls up the snow covered earth sending it at flaming rock. �Lady, you need some new tricks...these are just sooo clich�.�
^^Katie^^ feels through her haze, that working together like is so familiar.
Luna_Faline: �Go on!! Do something!!� I growl trying to push it with my will.
^Shinta spots the opening and lunges for it.
Claron tries concentrating on the minute particles of the shield of the spider bot that Tabris is standing on. Trying to make an opening for Tabris to thrust his black sword deep into it.
Vin_Da_DM: The spider bot in front of Luna begins to fire blasts at her and Lilly. Lilly takes a hit in the shoulder and goes down, Eclipse rushes over to her and the two disappear into her shadow.
Tewyn sits tapping his foot, �You call yourself a geomancer, I�m not even trying yet.�
Luna_Faline dodges and rolls out of the line of fire. �Damn it, what is wrong with you?� I ask my cloudy paw.
^Vincent^ kicks some dirt and snow on the shield to see if there are any gaps.
Vin_Da_DM: Shinta�s blade sinks into the opening, cutting off one of the spider bots legs. Adjusting it�s stance it flings bladed tentacles at him.
^Shinta rolls, �OHHHH, BUDDA!!! Kyo, your up!� Eyes shimmer and his blade speed increases blocking the bladed tentacles.
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa sighs, �Then how about we both start trying. I�m bored of hearing you talk!� Hovering into the air multiple spouts of lava geyser up around her, whirl a spiral around her and then shoot out toward Tewyn. Ten in all.
^^Katie^^ growls, wincing, �Oh, no ya don�t, ya bastard.� She concentrates, trying to magnetize the legs together so the bot will fall.
^^Katie^^ hears a name that makes her falter. �Kyo,� she thinks. �Yes, Kyo.�
Vin_Da_DM: Luna�s cloud paw glows white for a moment, then the claws on her hand wiggle for a moment before detaching and fly at the nearest spider bot. Flying-through-the shield they sink into it�s chest with sparks.
Tewyn smiles, �Ohhh, if you insist.� Draws an armor suit of lava rock over him jumping from geyser to geyser, �Ready or not, here I come!!�
Luna_Faline looks at the paw in shock, �HOLY SHIT!� I screech.
^Shinta runs slashing at the remaining legs.
Vin_Da_DM: Shinta manages to de-leg the spider bot. Sparking it falls lifeless. Luna�s bot skitters around, it�s shield fading from her attack. And Vincent�s begins to unleash a barrage of blasts at him.
Tewyn giggles has he jumps, �Eennie, meannie, miney, moe, burn the bitch head to toe!�
Claron stands still concentrating , knowing that if an opening is achieved, Tabris will deal a death strike.
Vin_Da_DM: Off in the distance you hear a loud electronic screech. Several pieces of the fifth spider bot sail across the sky, landing perfectly on the two downed spider bots.
^Vincent^ dives, jumps, and rolls out of the way of the blasts, then charges towards a leg attempting to put his claw thru it.
^Shinta checks to see how many remain.
Luna_Faline looks at the spider, �Cool.� I try it again with both paws. I turn to the spider attacking Vincent. I aim at the sensors that show it where to shoot.
Tewyn stands on top of the geyser closest to Teresa and waves, �Well, hi there, playtime�s over.�
^^Katie^^ staggers to Luna, her vision blurring, magnetizing her metal staff, she swings it toward the leg of the bot with what strength remains.
^Shinta runs and checks on ^^Katie^^, �How you holding up?�
Tabris manages to get on top of the damaged spider bot. Raising his swords he scowls, �I...hate...giant...bugs!� Plunging downward the bot crashes to the snowy ground.
^^Katie^^ hits her knees, and sways.
Tewyn lets himself be engulfed into the geysers and sinks down into the ground.
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa watches Tewyn with a quaint smile, hovering in the air above the geysers she waits.
^Vincent^ dodges the lasers "Ummm, lil help, please?"
Claron lets out the breath she had been holding as she sees Tabris plunge his sword downward...
Luna_Faline kneels next to Katie, placing a paw on her shoulder as I keep an eye on the spiders. I push strength into Katie, �Are you hurt?�
^Shinta looks at Luna_Faline, �Is she okay?�
^^Katie^^: �Tired�� she murmurs. �Head hurts bad.�
Vin_Da_DM: The last spider bot�s lasers die down as it gets in close to Vincent. Lowering down it looks at him with it�s sensor.
^Vincent^ jumps and tries to plunge his claw into the sensor.
Tewyn springs back out of the ground suddenly inside a geyser of his own directly under Teresa, reaching out with a magma rock covered hand and grabbing her by the throat on the way up.
^^Katie^^ rubs her head, �Something in there...ohhhh, gawd.�
Luna_Faline: �I see no injuries, I don�t know what to do for her.� Placing both my paws on her shoulders.
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa�s grin widens as Tewyn grasps her, grabbing his hand the geyser and all the magma begins to freeze over.
^^Katie^^ blinks to clear her vision, �Bastard. Go �way.� She staggers to her feet, pushing the pain away as best she can. She stumbles toward the remaining bot, eyeing it tiredly.
Luna_Faline looks at Shinta, �You�re the head man. What do you think?�
Claron makes her way over to Tabris.
Tewyn smiles back, �Amateur!!� Grabs a shard of the frozen magma and drives it into her chest.
Vin_Da_DM: Katie feels the presence inside her mind probing, looking for something before it vanishes with a evil whisper.
^Shinta grabs ^^Katie^^, �Easy, easy.�
^^Katie^^ closes her eyes breathing hard.
^Shinta whispers, �Don�t have to be the hero this time.�
Luna_Faline looks around at the rest of the Warriors, checking for anyone else hurt.
Vin_Da_DM: Blinking Teresa looks at the shard then at him, rolling her eyes she chuckles, �Oooh. Ouch. Your lover told me you to do some good penetration.�
Vin_Da_DM: Vincent�s claw burrows into the spider�s sensor, giving Vincent a sizeable shock. The spider bot walks back, then simply stands there.
Tewyn glares at Teresa, �You will never speak of her again!� squeezing with my hand around her throat then ripping at it.
^Vincent^ falls back onto his ass, �Oww�ooww...owww!� shakes his head.
Luna_Faline looks back at the spider in front of Vincent shaking my head.
Vin_Da_DM: Teresa continues to chuckle, then gurgle as Tewyn rips her throat out. Her body goes limp and turns into snow that falls to the ground.
Claron concentrates on the spider bot that is left trying to make it explode from the inside out.
Tewyn falls to the ground.
Vin_Da_DM: Before Claron�s powers can effect the spider bot it self destructs with a vaporizing blast that takes out the wreckage of the other spider bots but not the group.
^Shinta looks down at ^^Katie, �Come on, snap out of it.�
^^Katie^^ suddenly sits rubbing her heels of her hands against her temples.
^Vincent^ looks at the explosion, �Did I do that?�
Claron looks at Tabris, �We should check to make sure Tewyn is alright.� I begin to move towards Tewyn.
^Shinta smiles as ^^Katie^^ sits up, �You ok there?�
Luna_Faline moves toward Vincent, �You alright?�
Tewyn sits there pounding the snow, �Told you that you wouldn�t get to say it again.�
Tabris: �I guess so,� Tabris shakes his head looking at the now empty battlefield.
^Vincent^ stands up and shakes a bit and looks at the group, �Well, that was shocking!�
Claron approaches Tewyn cautiously as he pounds the snow.
Vin_Da_DM: Landing with a soft sound on the snow Finn looks around, �That looks like all the defense I�ve seen so far.�
^Vincent^: �Umm, yeah Kitty, alright.�
^^Katie^^ tries to smile. �Other than feeling like I�ve got concrete in my brain? Just peachy.�
Luna_Faline laughs lightly, �I would imagine so,� as I look around for the shadow that Eclipse is hiding in.
Tewyn turns and eyes Claron as she walks closer.
^Vincent^ walks over to Katie and reaches out his hand, �Need help up?�
^Shinta nods, �Good to hear.� Caresses her cheek and moves away.
^^Katie^^: �Thanks.� Takes Vincent�s hand.
Claron: �Are you hurt anywhere, Tewyn?� I ask softly.
^^Katie^^ watches Shinta and gets an old feeling of familiarity before she shakes it off.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse slithers out from Luna�s shadow, white bandage wrapped around his upper arm, �Lilly�s safe back at the ship. Another one of those bots attacked on the way back.�
Tewyn stands dusting off the snow, �I�m fine...but you ever doubt how I felt for your sister again, and I promise your fate will be far worse than what you just saw.�
^Vincent^: �So it looks like were walking now.�
Luna_Faline kneels down next to Eclipse, �How bad is it?� as I try to look under the bandage.
^^Katie^^ looks at the scraps of their hovercraft. �Evidently.�
Claron looks at Tewyn unwaveringly, �I have no doubts that you are true to your words��
^Vincent^ shakes his head then mumbles.
Vin_Da_DM: Finn looks over at Tewyn for a second then shakes his head, then ahead at the complex. �We should probably go inside. I saw an entry when I was fighting.�
Luna_Faline pulls the bandage off Eclipses wound and lightly runs my paw across it, willing it to heal.
Tewyn eyes narrow, �Least I�m true to those close to me, knowing them or not.� Starts walking away.
^Vincent^ looks at Finn then goes to the complex.
Vin_Da_DM: Grabbing Luna�s wrist Eclipse shakes his head, �Laser blasts don�t quick heal I�m afraid. Not without bio-gel.�
^Shinta looks ahead, �So what awaits us inside?�
Claron: As Tewyn starts to walk away I ask, �Are you implying I am not?�
Luna_Faline carefully replaces the bandage. �I�m fresh out of that, I�m sorry to say.� I purr softly.
^Vincent^ looks at Shinta the shrugs, �Beats me?�
Tabris: �Your guess is as good as mine,� Tabris looks ahead then walks over to Claron�s side.
Tewyn keeps walking, �Clarice would know, now wouldn�t she.�
^Shinta returns his blade to its sheath on his back and starts to walk toward the complex.
Vin_Da_DM: Finn begins to head for the complex as well.
^^Katie^^ ambles tiredly toward the complex still blinking a bit.
^^Katie^^: �Well, THAT sucked.� She trudges, still watching Shinta.
Luna_Faline walks with Eclipse toward the complex. �I saw what the cloud did to me,� I whisper to him as we walk.
^Vincent^ shakes his head, �What I wouldn�t do for whiskey bout now.�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse looks at Luna and tilts his head, �Impressive, I hope.�
^Shinta keeps walking head turning now and then as if talking to others.
Vin_Da_DM: �Come on, Claron,� Tabris grabs Claron�s hand and tugs a bit as he takes a few steps.
^^Katie^^ turns the name Kyo over in her mind, trying to make some sort of connection, but only comes up with a laughing rodent-man in a tuxedo smiling at her.
Luna_Faline looks down at my paws, �A little,� I sigh. �It didn�t work at first, just hovered around my paw. Then my claws shot out of my fingers, went thru the bot�s shield and into it�s body,� purrumbles, �That was impressive.�
Claron stands shaking her head as she turns toward Tabris, then turns back in the direction Tewyn walked off in, �Damn it, Tab...I wasn�t through with him yet.�
Vin_Da_DM: �There it is.� Finn point towards a rusted hatch on the side of the equally rusted building. The complex appears to be a cross between a prison and a warehouse.
Claron follows Tabris hesitantly.
Tabris: �Don�t worry about him. Once he sees the real Clarice, hopefully she�ll knock some sense into him.� Tabris watches Claron as they walk.
Tewyn starts humming in Elven looking around, �I miss that visor.�
^Shinta slaps at the air, �NOOO! Remy. I will not ask the feline that!�
Claron: �I hope you are right, Tabris.�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse raises a brow as he looks at Shinta, �Is he...alright?�
Claron sees Finn pointing��She is in there?�
^Vincent^ looks at Shinta then at the group.
^^Katie^^ raises an eyebrow at Shinta, and smiles, despite her discomfort.
^Vincent^ walks over to the hatch and kicks it.
^^Katie^^: �Remy, fer gawd�s sake, ya lil hornball.� Then slaps a hand over her mouth, staring in horror and wondering where THAT came from.
Luna_Faline ears twitch catching the word �feline� in Shinta�s monologue, �He has.... Company. So to speak. Sounds like one of them wants to know something.�
Vin_Da_DM: �She�s in there somewhere. I can�t get an exact location because I�m being blocked by something...dark.� Finn shakes his head at Vincent, �Move.�
^Shinta looks over at ^^Katie^^ strangely, �What did you just say?�
^Vincent^ steps out of the way, �Go head.�
^^Katie^^ stares, �I�I don�t know.�
Claron hears Katie, �Looks as if Katie must remember bits and pieces of her past, Tab.�
^^Katie^^ wanders a bit away from the group, frowning and wondering what the hell is wrong with her that she would speak to a stranger so.
^Shinta: �Its quite alright...seems you have done some checking up on me.�
Vin_Da_DM: Lowering a brow Finn eyes the hatch. It and it�s frame blow into pieces that glide down the floor of the dimly lit hallway beyond.
Claron: �You mean you don�t know, Finn?!�
^^Katie^^�s frown deepens. �I don�t think I have.�
Luna_Faline as Eclipse and I walk up to Shinta, I ask with a gleam in my eye, �Ask me what, Remy?� I grin a toothy smile at Shinta.
Vin_Da_DM: �This should be interesting,� Eclipse watches Luna and Shinta, then glances over toward the open hallway.
^Shinta: Catching him off guard Remy blurts off, �Are you a furry pussy all over or a Mexican hairless!!� Shinta covers his mouth in shock.
Vin_Da_DM: Stepping into the hallway Finn looks over his shoulder at Claron, �She�s here, I can sense that. Just not where.�
^^Katie^^ heads for the hatch and peers in absently.
Luna_Faline raises a mischievous eyebrow and purrs, �Maybe you�ll find out yourself some day,� allowing my robe to open enough to show my leg as I turn toward the door.
Tewyn looks back, �Well, the kitty has someone�s attention it seems.�
Claron moves in closer to Tabris, sliding her arm around his waist, �Then lets start searching.�
^^Katie^^ turns and stares at Shinta.
^Shinta hides his eyes.
Tabris eyes Katie, then Claron. �I agree.�
^^Katie^^ blinks a few times, frowns again and steps gingerly into the hallway.
^Vincent^ ventures into the hatch.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse chuckles as he follows Luna.
Luna_Faline follows Vincent thru the hatch, half tempted to give him a push.
^Shinta: �Remy, you will be the death of me yet��
Claron and Tabris head for the opening.
^^Katie^^ shivers and sees a flash of naked Shinta berating Remy for the loss of his robe.
^^Katie^^ claps her hands to her ears, trying to make the images stop, and keeps walking.
Tewyn looks at ^Shinta, �And they say I�m crazy??�
Vin_Da_DM: Inside the hallway is less rusty and dimly lit by strips of fluorescent tubing. Doors to either side look like a mental ward with only a little rectangle window to view inside.
Vin_Da_DM: Old blood stains and various other marks line the floor heading away from you toward a side hallway.
^Vincent^ walks over to a door and looks thru the little window.
^Shinta steps inside the door and looks around.
Claron and Tab enter the hallway.
Luna_Faline sniffs the air trying to get a familiar scent.
Tewyn: �Well, doesn�t this say cozy all over it.�
Vin_Da_DM: Vincent notices a skeleton leaning against the far wall. Half of it is made of rusted mechanical parts. It looks to have been dead several years.
Claron looks around as they walk.
^^Katie^^ looks at Tewyn and smirks, then pats her pocket again for comfort.
^Vincent^: �Well, this sure is interesting,� he says as he starts to walk again.
Vin_Da_DM: Finn continues down the hall, not looking around and cringing. �Whatever is blocking me, it�s strong.�
Luna_Faline moves slowly down the hall following the trail of blood and sniffing the air.
Tewyn gives ^^Katie^^ a small smile.
Tewyn: �Now where is she?�
Vin_Da_DM: Luna smells stale air and faint scents of humanoids and...oil?
^^Katie^^: �Just needs a lil TLC, eh, Froggie? Make it right nice, ye think?�
^Shinta lowers his head, �So much death...the voices are overwhelming.�
Tabris: �This place doesn�t look very friendly,� Tabris eyes the doors and marks on the floor.
Luna_Faline decides to follow the smell of oil, as it seems to be stronger.
Tewyn: �Well, possibly.�
Claron remains quiet as they walk, listening to everyone and trying to hear anything out of the ordinary.
Vin_Da_DM: While the marks and blood on the floor turn down the side hallway, Luna�s scent trail keeps her going straight. Several doors down the side sound with bangs as she grows closer.
^^Katie^^ arches an elegant eyebrow and watches Finn.
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse looks around with disgust. Shaking his head he looks at the others, �I�ll go have a look around. See if I can find anything.�
Luna_Faline moves slowly toward the noises. I move closer to the wall next to a door, then carefully peak in the window.
^Shinta covers his ears and kneels to one knee, �These poor people, how could anyone do this!�
Vin_Da_DM: Finn pauses at the hallway split off as Eclipse dives into one of the shadows, leaving a ripple.
Claron hears the sound of bangs��You still being blocked, Finn?�
Tewyn ears twitch.
Vin_Da_DM: Luna sees a set of eyes looking back at her, twisted with pain. The creature backs away, a mangled mess of machinery and human...if you could call it that anymore.
^Shinta cries out, �These poor souls will never be at rest.�
Claron: �What if we are too late?�
^^Katie^^ places an soft hand on Shinta�s shoulder, �Shhhh, lovie.�
Luna_Faline gasps at the sight that I see, �O�Goddess,� I pray for the souls of those here.
^Shinta looks up at ^^Katie^^ eyes filled with pain.
Vin_Da_DM: The banging continues, several of the doors are dented outward as if this had been done repeatedly for months.
^Vincent^: �This is kinda creepy�and I like it.�
Luna_Faline moves on to another door to look inside.
^Vin^: Finn cringes, then looks down the hallway, �This way...come on.� Shaking if off he heads off following the old blood trails.
^^Katie^^ looks at Shinta with concern.
Tabris; �Man...this is just gross.� Tabris makes a yuck face as he looks in a few of the door windows.
^Shinta stands slowly, �They intentionally mutated and experimented on people here...those that failed were killed.�
Claron and Tabris follow after Finn.�
^Vincent^ follows the group.
^^Katie^^ nods, �Not the first place we�ve seen like this. Or been played with in�� She frowns, reaching for the memory.
Tewyn starts following, �Yep, this has human written all over it.�
Luna_Faline moves to look in the other windows quickly, still sniffing trying to get Clarice�s scent.
^Vin^: Luna notices one of the mechanical dogs, looking more like it�s natural state than the machine. It looks at her and tilts it�s head.
^^Katie^^: �I�don�t know what I�m saying�� She drops her hand and backs away, scurrying after the others.
Luna_Faline shakes my head at the poor creature, �I am not falling for that innocent look, buster,� I mumble.
^Shinta whispers, �Yes, Kyo...her memories are haunting her and she is afraid.�
Luna_Faline: �I�ve been bitten before by a cute little furry,� I mutter as I move back to the group.
Vin_Da_DM: Finn continues to follow the hallway. Turning another corner he pauses, �I...well�think this is a sign we�re on the right track.�
Tewyn: �Ohh, don�t be a big pussy...oh wait, never mind, ya are already.�
^^Katie^^ reaches into her breast pocket as she walks, her fingers curling around a familiar chunk of metal. �Daezhel, I dinnae ken what the hell is going on, but it�s scaring the shit out of me.�
Claron: �How can you be sure, Finn?�
Tabris: �From what I remember of Clarice, that should be a dead giveaway, Babe.� Tabris points towards the wall where a frost-burned cyborg is frozen against the wall from the knees up.
^Shinta hurries to catch the others.
Luna_Faline glares at Tewyn, �If you want a pet, try the fourth door on the left. Closest thing to fur you�ll be getting.�
Tewyn eyes the cyborg, �Someone was baddddddd boy.�
Vin_Da_DM: Finn continues down the hallway, passing several more frozen cyborgs and ice patches. �We�re getting closer, I think.�
Claron finally sees the frozen cyborg against the wall and feels her pulse quicken at the sight of it.
Tewyn looks at Luna_Faline and giggles, �No, thank you. I prefer them nicely trimmed.�
^^Katie^^ whispers, �Why do these people make me remember the things that should be long buried? Why do I suddenly want to know what it is I�m missing? Oh m�dear, I wish you were here. I�m so confused.�
Tabris waves his hand in front of the cyborg�s frozen head, the pokes the ice. �Cyborg-cicle. Tasty��
^Shinta stands back watching still trying to block out the painful cries of those killed.
Luna_Faline: �You always have been...unnatural,� I mumble under my breath.
Claron shivers as she sees the frozen cyborg closely then whispers...�I once was very cold like that.�
Vin_Da_DM: Katie hears a dark whisper in the back of her mind for a moment, �I can help you remember�� It fades away as quickly as it arrived.
^^Katie^^�s eyes widen.
Tewyn: �She is close.�
^^Katie^^: �Nooooooooo,� she moans softly.
Claron avoids making a comment toward Tewyn.
^Shinta: �I suggest we hurry it up.�
^^Katie^^ turns and looks at Shinta, lost for a moment.
Vin_Da_DM: Continuing down the hallway Finn pauses in front of a set of barred doors. �She�s...she�s here. Several others as well....all dark.�
Luna_Faline: �Be sure this time.� I whisper.
Tewyn moves forward, �Where? Just tell me where.�
^Shinta: �You okay there, ^^Katie^^, seems like your out of it.�
Claron finds it hard not to�whispers to Tabris, �And how does he know that? Is he psychic... thought he didn�t look for the dead .�
^^Katie^^ stares for a moment, then frowns. �Fine.� She scowls, backing up a few steps.
Vin_Da_DM: �I�ll need to go first. In order to protect you...from him.� Finn raises a hand to the door and pushes it apart with his power.
^Shinta nods, �Okay, just making sure.�
Luna_Faline gets ready for another fight if need be, watching Finn open the doors.
Tewyn ears start to twitch anxiously.
Claron: �Oh, God�� her heart pounding faster.
Vin_Da_DM: Finn glances at the next hallway beyond the doors, then at the set of bloody doors directly ahead.
^^Katie^^ panics, realizing she forgot to grab her staff in her headachy state.
^^Katie^^: �My staff�� she groans.
^Shinta: �We can replace it...no time to go back now.�
Tabris looks at Katie for a second, extending a hand toward her a black obsidian staff builds itself in seconds. �This�ll have to do.�
^^Katie^^: �What do you want me to do?� she snaps, �Knock �em dead with my rack?�
^^Katie^^ smiles gratefully at Tab.
^Shinta steps back, �I�m just stating...that is all.�
^^Katie^^ takes the staff.
Claron reaches in her waistband and hands Katie the steel boomerang. �Maybe this will be helpful along with you magnetic personality.�
Tewyn: �Come one already, lets go!�
Vin_Da_DM: Motioning the others into the next hallway Finn approaches the doors. �All right. You�ll have to handle the fight, I�ll be using all my power to stop him.�
^Vincent^ cracks his fingers, �Will do.�
^^Katie^^ smiles, �You need that, Claron. Yer hubby�s doodad will be just fine.�
^Lilly^ groans as she moves around, suddenly she grabs her shoulder and winces. Her eyes pop open and she sits up. �Huh, what...where am I?�
Luna_Faline nods to Finn, �Let�s go then.�
^Shinta: �Oh dear, more violence... Do we have to?�
Vin_Da_DM: Alexei pushes Lilly back against the table, �Stay still or I�ll miss with the stitches.�
Claron smiles, �So I see.� Readies the boomerang in her own hand instead.
^^Katie^^ walks forward, her stance wary, ready.
^Lilly^: �Alexei?...what happened?� She looks around trying to figure out what was going on. �Where is everyone.� Laying back down looking at him concerned.
Tewyn readies his sword, �She better be here.�
Vin_Da_DM: Finn lifts a hand as the double doors fly off their hinges. He steps forward and down the steps into the large tiled operation chamber.
Luna_Faline extends my claws, ready to rip out a throat if I have to.
^Shinta steps forward slowly.
^Vincent^: �Hope I don�t get another shock today.�
Vin_Da_DM: Blood is coating nearly every surface in this room. Rusty lamps hang from the ceiling, casting conical spotlights on the floor, an operating table, and a vertical slat where a blonde woman is bound and gagged.
^^Katie^^ takes in the gore and shudders.
Vin_Da_DM: Several black cloaked figures fade into existence on either side of the room. Ahead Cain stands near Clarice holding a knife at her neck. Raisha picks at her nails with her recently bloodied stiletto dripping with blue blood.
^Vincent^: �I need the number of the decorator.�
Claron steps in the room slowly and sees the blonde gagged woman��Clarice!�
Vin_Da_DM: Eclipse lies to the side clutching at his chest, as a large spider-like armored figure holds him down with a boot.
Tewyn screams out, �CLARICE!!!!� starting to move forward.
Claron: �You fucking bastard!� I scream as I remember the knife around my own throat.
Vin_Da_DM: Tewyn finds himself unable to progress halfway across the room before being thrown to his feet by some sort of field.
Tewyn snarls, �Fucking ass, I�m gonna kill you!� struggling to get back.
Vin_Da_DM: One of the black hooded figures approaches Tewyn from the other side of the invisible shield. He chuckles with a deep echoing bass voice. �Warriors. How predictable.�
Tewyn: �Hope you can predict death...cause you will all die before this day ends!�
Vin_Da_DM: Finn narrows his gaze, �That him...show yourself!� Finn shouts as he walks toward the man from his side of the shield, standing next to Tewyn.
^Shinta: �This is not good, we must fight carefully.�
^Vincent^ eyes the room for any weapons to use.
Luna_Faline stares at Eclipse wishing I could get to him. I move to stand in Shinta�s shadow, hoping that somehow it might take me to Eclipse.
Vin_Da_DM: Time seems to stop as the hooded figure slips his hood back. Daegriss grins at you with his half human, half demonic face. �I think it will be you who will be dying today, Warriors��
Vin_Da_DM: $ End
