Blast to the Past, Part 6

Methinks The Spell's Startin' Ta' Wear Off, Buddy

<T-BoneSK> ::can see... uhm...  a lot of torches around the castle::
<RazorSK> ::checks his systems:: So nice ta' get the radar back online...
<T-BoneSK> ::it's fairly easy to see in the distance from the jet::
<T-BoneSK> Yeah... Too bad our glovatrixes haven't reappeared yet...
<RazorSK> ::nods:: Guess we'll have to rely on the swords a little longer...
<T-BoneSK> Just hope we still remember how to use them...
<T-BoneSK> ::knows they can't go firing missiles... wouldn't do any good and only hurt the rebels as they're locked in close quarters hand to hand combat with the enemy army::
<RazorSK> ::grins:: "You know how to use this?  Sure! The pointy end goes into the other man."
<T-BoneSK> ::puts his head in one hand, trying not to laugh..  snorts instead::
<RazorSK> ::grins anew, then sobers:: I think we're gonna hafta' storm the place by foot... if Pasty hasn't already... T-BONE!! Turn, turn! ::eyes wide at the Cyclops approaching::
<T-BoneSK> ::banks the jet sharply::  Crud... Not another one of THOSE....
<T-BoneSK> Tell me we have missiles this time.
<RazorSK> ::checks...then slowly groans::
<T-BoneSK> That's not what I said to tell me, Razor...
<T-BoneSK> ::quietly:
<RazorSK> We've got....Net, cement launcher, and Rope. And maybe a couple Shredders...
<T-BoneSK> We'll break open the cement and aim for 'is eyes!
<RazorSK> We can do that, but it's gotta be away from the city...
<T-BoneSK> No problem. ::sends the jet darting around the cyclops' head like an irritating fly::
<Cyclops> ::roars, tries to catch the T-Kat::
<T-BoneSK> ::dartdartzip... flies off just a hair::
<RazorSK> I think he's irritated enough... ::as the Cyclops begins the chase:
<T-BoneSK> Good. ::leads him by much circling::
<RazorSK> We're nearing the bay... juuuuust a few more feet...
<T-BoneSK> ::circles one last time::
<RazorSK> Right on target... Cement launcher! ::fires::
<T-BoneSK> ::tries to give Razor a good shot::
<Cyclops> ::nailed in the eyes, tries to get the stuff off and hit the T-Kat at the same time::
<T-BoneSK> ::keeps them out of range::
<RazorSK> One down... ::target anew:: Rope missile... deployed!
<Cyclops> ::legs are tied up... falls inna bay::
<RazorSK> Bingo!
<T-BoneSK> Alright!  Now, I guess we have to land and head in on foot, huh?
<RazorSK> Who says it has to be on foot? ::grins::
<RazorSK> Why can't it be by wheels?
<T-BoneSK> ::grins back at him::
<T-BoneSK> Roger that.  ::sets the T-Kat down... on a wide sandy beach, well above the high tide line::
<RazorSK> ::heads down towards the bay:: Ready when you are, partner.
<T-BoneSK> ::is right behind him::
<RazorSK> ::gets onto the Cycltron::
<T-BoneSK> ::hops into the drivers spot, mwah!:: Hang on! ::roars outta there::
<RazorSK> ::Bad T-bone! Grips the handle bars::
<T-BoneSK> ((<Razor> Bad, T-Bone!  Bad!))
<T-BoneSK> ::heads for the castle:: Hope we're in time...
<RazorSK> Ditto... ::hand unconsciously reaches for his sword::
<T-BoneSK> ::comes roaring up to the castle gates where the fighting is fierce::
<Knights and etc> ::scream at the two kats ontop of the... mechanical horse::
<T-BoneSK> ::isn't sure where to start::  Uhm... Where would Pastie be? We find him, we end all this.
<LadyJessie> ::is...is wherever she is supposted to be at::
<Knight> ::charges at Jessie::
<LadyJessie> ::holds up her sword to defend herself:: AIY!! I hate sneak attacks!! ::As she swings it::
<Knight> Die, rebel!!
<SypherMage> ::is meanwhile, sitting onna floor of some... weird kind of magic abode, eyeing everything::
<MageTrix> Tell me again... we're mages, right? ::looking at his attire::
<SypherMage> ::looks over at Trix::  Yeah....
<LadyJessie> Rebel? me? HAH! I'm onna queen's knights! ::tries to knock 'im out with the side of 'er sword::
<LadyJessie> ((<Jessie> ::does *not* want to get blood all over her sword:: ))
<MageTrix> So what's with the weird clothing!? Weren't they ever uncomfortable?
<SypherMage> I just feel like I'm wearing bedsheets...  S'better'n when I make my own...  My question is: where are we?
<Knight> The Pastmaster will finish the Queen! ::evades sword::
<LadyJessie> Not while I'm still alive! ::swings swings...starts wondering whether she should just tackle the guy::
<MageTrix> You got me... a library?
<T-Bone> ::smacks the knight from behind with his sword::
<SypherMage> ::eyes all the old-looking books:: But, whose?   And, why did they bring us here?  ::stands to look around the room yet again... they've been there a while::
<Knight> ::is KOed::
<T-Bone> ::grins at Jessie... is in his flight suit again and looks downright weird to Dark Age people::
<LadyJessie> ::blinks:: what the...? *you* ::raises her sword suddenly..for some reason doesn't charge him::
<MageTrix> I don't know. I'm not reading to a buncha Medieval kittens any time soon.
<T-Bone> Hey, hey!  Whoa!  Razor, call 'er off!
<Razor> Jessie! It's okay! ::holds her by the wrist::
<SypherMage> ((<Trix>  And, then the handsome prince said, "I will awaken you, my Love, with this ki..." Who writes this crud?!))
<LadyJessie> SirJacob? ::smiles sticks her sword into the ground then hugs him:: you're..you're alive!!!
<MageTrix> ((::Dies!::))
<SypherMage> ((<Kittens> ::cry,want to hear the end::  <Trix> ::sighs::  "...this kiss..."  And, they...  smooched... Guh...  ::making faces::))
<LadyJessie> ((::DIES!!!::))
<MageTrix> ((::DEAD::))
<Razor> ::hugs her back:: You okay?
<T-Bone> She's still under the spell....
<LadyJessie> ((<T-Bone> Hey, hey! Whoa! Razor, call 'er off! <Razor> Jessie!!! HEEL!!))
<Pastie> ::appears in front of them suddenly::
<MageTrix> Hmph... ::goes to take a book out just for kicks... and drops it when Pasty appears::
<MageTrix> Heelllllllooooooo, Ugly.
<Pastie>  ::leers at them::  Is that any way to talk to someone who wants to make a deal with you?
<MageTrix> Not really.  But in your case, I'll insult you more... Shorty.
<Pastie> ::glowers::  This is my world now, you technological abominations.
<LadyJessie> ::grins:: I'm fine now that you're ok... but... what's with... him???? ::means T-Bone and why he's with Razor::
<T-Bone> I'm his partner!
<MageTrix> Oh, I'm hurt... Ouch... Oh, he's tampered with my fragile heart... oh, ouch...
<SypherMage> ::chuckles at Trix:: What do you want, PastMaster?
<Razor> He's with me. It's okay.
<LadyJessie> His what??? ::blinks:: you...you captured him and now you say you're his *partner*? ::is not quite believing it::
<Razor> He saved my life.
<Pastie>  Frankly, I'd prefer your cooperation.  I *can* destroy - make no mistake there.  Your technology may have been inadvertantly converted to magic by my spell, but you've little knowledge of how to use it.  However, I'm not in the mood to expend that much energy, so I thought we might come to an agreement.
<LadyJessie> ::to Razor:: if..if you say so Sir Jacob... ::as she grabs her sword from the ground and sheathes it::
<T-Bone> ::nods... then swings out suddenly to take down a charging knight, whacking him hard in the gut with his sword's flat::
<MageTrix> What say *we* say, "Neener, neener, neener" and tell you to go jump in the lake?
<LadyJessie> ::looks over at T-Bone:: I... ::shakes her head, blinks:: thanks for saving his life ... whoever you are...
<Razor> You believe me now? ::as he takes out his sword::
<Pastie> Then, I'll be forced to destroy you. But, why not accept my offer?  ::tone gets wheedling::  I'll remove your friends from their current positions and give them peaceful lives in the country. This instant if you wish.  They *are* about to perish fighting my army.
<T-Bone> Call me T-Bone.
<SypherMage> ::feels he couldn't teleport out of the room if he wanted to::  <Drat....>
<LadyJessie> ::blinks anew:: I'm... ::shakes her head, takes out her bow:: SirRazor I didn't say I didn't believe you... ::to T-Bone:: allright... I'm...Lady Jessie ::shakes her head anew::
<MageTrix> <What is it?>
<SypherMage> <We can't teleport out...>
<MageTrix> <You serious!?> ::as he tries::
<T-Bone> Not a problem. ::pitches into the fight::
<SypherMage> <Yeah...>
<SypherMage> ::looks up at Pastie::  And, we're supposed to believe you?
<Pastie> Can you risk not?
<LadyJessie> <what's going on here?> ::is still wondering why she didn't charge or threw her sword at T-Bone when he caught Razor:: what's...your plan?
<T-Bone> Find the PastMaster!
<LadyJessie> ::grins his way:: knew that much..
<MageTrix> ::sighs, looks at Sy::
<Razor> And, stop him before he does anything else.
<SypherMage> And, how can WE know you'll do anything you say?  ::crosses his arms::
<LadyJessie> Rrright!! so what are we waiting for?? lets find that crud...
<SypherMage> <Trix,...  is he more worried about our "powers"... or that we're not under the spell?>
<MageTrix> <I'd say a little bit of both...>
<SypherMage> <Hmmm.....  Ideas?>
<Pastie> You can't. ::grin::
<MageTrix> <Charge the little creep?>
<SypherMage> <He does know more about magic than we do...>
<LadyJessie> ((<Trix> let's just do what Jessie does for a change.. <Sypher> leap from a building? you nuts? <Trix> no Charge him!! <Sy> oh... won't than be plagiarism? <Trix> naw!! as long as she doesn't find out..))
<Razor> ::nods:: First, we gotta get the rebels out.
<LadyJessie> You get them out.. I'm going after the Pastmaster!
<Razor> YOu can't go alone...
<T-Bone>  ::to Razor:: Where's Trina?
<LadyJessie> I'll be fine!
<Razor> ::blinks:: Didn't Furklaw say the Pastmaster had her under... interrogation?
<SypherMage> ::pauses, realizing something::  <Trix...  Try to levitate something... anything.>
<T-Bone> Interrogation?  CRUD!
<Razor> We've gotta find her first!  ::pauses, grabs the nearest knight by the collar:: Where are the rest of the prisoners?
<Knight>  D... dungeon...
<MageTrix> ::blinks, and points towards a book.... aaaaaand....::
<T-Bone> Dungeon then!  C'mon!  I know where it is!
<Razor> ::lets him go::
<SypherMage> ::has realized that he can't...  which means....::
<LadyJessie> ::blinks at all this..::
<T-Bone> ::motions for the others and bolts that way::
<Razor> ::follows::
<Knight> ::to Trina:: Where is your Queen?!
<LadyJessie> I'm going after Pastmaster! ::as she runs off::
<SypherMage> ((<Trina> I'd kill for a watermelon right now... ::means to use as a weapon::))
<Trina> ::hanging by shackles on her arms:: Queen? Now which Queen would that be? Queen Elizabeth, Queen Anne?  The rock band?
<MageTrix> ((::dies, Sy!::))
<LadyJessie> ((ROFLDEAD!!))
<SypherMage> ((::dies Trina::))
<Knight>  ::smacks her:: Don't be mouthy with me!  ::has no clue what a rock band is tho'::
<Trina> Sheesh... that any way to treat a lady?
<LadyJessie> ::heads over to his castle.. the first place to start looking...::
<MageTrix> <Sy... the book... > ::issa levitating it::
<LadyJessie> ::tries to be as quiet and as unseen as possible::
<Trina> ::gives the knight the glare::
<SypherMage> <Drat....  Alright.. on my mark, blast the PastMaster...>
<Pastie> ::watching Trix:: As I said, *that* level of magic will do you little good...
<MageTrix> <You got it.>
<Knight> Where is the Queen, wench?!  ::growling, pulling out....  a hot brand?  ouchie::
<MageTrix> Will you shut UP!
<SypherMage> <NOW!>
<SypherMage> ::blasts Pastie... with his usual pure energy blast::
<MageTrix> ::flings the book at Pastie, firing a blast seconds later::
<Pastie> ::is hit by Matrix' magic with Sy's raw energy behind it...  gets sent flying as the two prove to be pretty potent together::
<LadyJessie> ::gets up there, sneaks up there actually...::
<Trina> ::blinks, eyes are wide:: Now... watch it, buddy.. You could poke someone's eye out with that...
<Knight> THAT is the point...
<Trina> Why am I not surprised? ::eyes the brand, is shivering::
<T-Bone> ::appears behind the guy to whack him one...he's getting good at that::
<LadyJessie> ::Gets in there just in time to see Pasty fly:: what in...? ::looks at Sy and Trix:: you *two* again! so you *were* telling the truth!
<SypherMage> ::looks at Jessie:: Yes, we were.
<MageTrix> Ha!! Told ya! Neener Neener!

<SypherMage> ((<Sy> Matrix! Act your age!  Oh wait...))
<MageTrix> I was talking to Pasty!
<SypherMage> Oh, well that's okay then.
<MageTrix> ((::Snorks!::))
<MageTrix> ::razz::
<Trina> ::breathes a sigh of relief::
<SypherMage> ((<Trix> Alright... If you insist... Waaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!  ::crycry, makes like he's a baby kitt cutting a tooth::))
<Razor> ::goes to take off the shackles:: You okay?!
<T-Bone> See I found you just in time... ::kicking the brand aside::
<Trina> You have no idea how glad I am you did...
<MageTrix> ((::DEAD, SY!!::))
<MageTrix> ((Fiend!))
<SypherMage> ((::beams::))
<Razor> ::takes off the shackles:: Where's the Pastmaster?
<Trina> In his tower... ::rubs her cheek where the guy smacked her:: I think he's plotting something else...
<LadyJessie> I believe you...
<T-Bone> Then, we have to stop him. C'mon.  We left the Cyclotron outside.
<Trina> Cyclotron? And, how did you get here?
<T-Bone> We'll explain on the way.
<LadyJessie> Who are you? ::to Trix and Sy::
<Razor> Better if we did. ::nods::
<Trina> ::sighs:: Alright.
<SypherMage> I'm Sypher.
<LadyJessie> ::shakes her head at the name...seems familiar but she can't connect it.. ::
<MageTrix> And I'm Matrix.
<LadyJessie> ::blinks:: I'm... I'm Lady Jessie ::smiles::
<MageTrix> ((<Static> And, I'm the CyberKat "sister!" And I'm soooooooo cute!))
