Session Start: Mon Feb 11 16:28:50 2008 Session Ident: #VCB [19:53:30] * Vice City Blues [19:54:48] * After a showdown with the Enforcer of Many in One, Noah took the fastest route to the last remaining power threatening them - the Core, by simply 'being' there. [19:56:11] * Getting that close to the god of this little City, though, doesn't seem to have been a good idea. All it's defenders are there, and it's traitorous one nearly turned back Black. [19:57:31] * The surroundings have turned into a formless void, the Core unable to be detected within it's obliviating blankness, but the Enforcers are definitely not hiding... [19:58:45] * Start. 06[20:01:43] * ManInChains suddenly starts laughing, manically, the sounds bouncing around from everywhere but where you see him. "Mwaha - haha - hahaha" And suddenly he's stabbing where Noah was a moment ago " -ahahaahah!" - with no transition in between. 03[20:03:40] * Demota (demota@76.103.49.119) has joined #VCB Session Start: Mon Feb 11 20:03:40 2008 Session Ident: #VCB 03[20:03:41] * Now talking in #VCB 03[20:03:41] * Topic is '2/4/2008 off due to the GM being unconcious or close to it.' 03[20:03:41] * Set by sbpr on Mon Feb 04 15:07:21 Session Close: Mon Feb 11 20:03:51 2008 02[20:03:51] * Tetsuko (demota@c-76-103-49-119.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ) 03[20:03:54] * Demota is now known as Tetsuko 06[20:08:10] * ManinRed , blurs - in the dark void, his form trails behind him, zooming with uncanny speed to engage Tetsuko with the blazing red blade of energy. His speed with it is just as fast, and overwhelms Tetsuko's expert combat defenses, the last strike swiping clean through her - leaving her body untouched. [20:08:55] Tetsuko! 06[20:12:22] * Tetsuko sends out an EM signal requesting assistance from Navi and wiring over details of her emergency internal weapons system. 06[20:21:12] * Navi motions and Tetsuko & Noah suddenly become sheathed in electricity, the ozone cackling around them. She herself flies high enough so that the opponent's blades can't reach her, and vanishes. 06[20:22:32] * Noah starts. "Woah! ...hey, cool, thanks, Navi!" 06[20:23:14] * Tetsuko stretches and suddenly gains a few extra inches in various dimensions. A flood of miniature missiles swarm from her clothes. [20:25:26] * .. and as the smoke clears, only the one in red looks significantly worse for wear. 06[20:26:40] * Tetsuko is still flooding the area with missiles. The air is becoming clouded with vapor trails arcing and swerving through the air, out of the way of allies and toweards her foes. [20:28:43] * The Red Enforcer manages to keep up, blurring and speeding and weaving through the salvo, cutting down the missiles within his reach. The one in the chained mask, though, is nicely sooted. 06[20:30:02] * ManinRed is at the tether of it's speed - it can't quite keep up the juice, and the defensive swipe at the missile headed his way missed by a hair, and he goes flying back, still. 02[20:31:28] * ManinRed (HeWhoHunts@68-118-60-90.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) Quit (Quit: Ker-BOOM!) 06[20:32:01] * Tetsuko goes *click* *click* *click* as her missiles deplete. She recompresses. 06[20:32:19] * ManInChains laughs through the explosions, loudly, clearly, and all over. 06[20:33:45] * ManInGreen doesn't budge for the missiles. He doesn't look hurt too much. 06[20:36:06] * WomanInBlack is staring off at some point in the void, still wide-eyed and shaking, mostly staying on guard. 06[20:36:19] * Tetsuko is surrounded with trails of smoke and colored tracer missile trails. The area would be pitted and scorched if it existed. 06[20:38:49] * Noah vanishes, and suddenly there are a half-dozen Noahs surrounding each of the Enforcers, and another twenty just scattered about the battlefield, all flying, hovering, and crackling with Navi's electricity. There are 20 each of Tetsuko, Navi, and Petronella, as well. The Noahs surrounding the Enforcers all leap to the tackle, trying to wrestle with the too-real monsters. [20:40:22] * ... for a half-second, before the manifestion is squashed by an overpowering exertion of will. 06[20:42:07] * Noah - the real Noah - is left revealed to be one of the half-dozen that was surrounding the Man In Green, attacking the arm ending in the green energy blade with his pocket knife and all his strength, trying to sever it from the body. 06[20:45:56] * ManInGreen doesn't seem to much notice the knife. He does, however, notice the prey that came to him. 06[20:48:53] * ManInGreen doesn't seem to much notice the knife. The shock that discharges from it does run along him, seemingly muted, dying quickly. He does, however, notice the prey that came to him. (overwrite previous line) 06[20:50:17] * ManInGreen follows up that notice with a grunt, and a massively powerful swing of the blazing green saber, the after-images it trails behind in the void going past - and around? Noah. 06[20:50:51] * Noah curses. "Tetsuko! Try to cut off their blade-arms! We need their weapons!" [20:54:32] * The air _ripples_, the surrounding deepen to an even further, soul-sucking black, and suddenly, the ripples converge like spears of light and waves, spearing through Noah and Tetsuko, and just around where Navi is, narrowly missing her. Noah and Tetsuko find themselves shoved to the ground by an enourmous, invisible strength. 06[20:55:21] * Noah grunts as the wind is driven out of him, struggling. 06[20:57:34] * ManInChains pauses, the manic laughter lost somewhere in the missile volley. With no fancy theatrics, or shifting, he simply walks over to where Noah is, preparing to stab him where he's stuck. 06[20:58:54] * Noah struggles, but can't seem to get free. 06[21:00:04] * Noah seems...diminished...as the blade pierces him. 06[21:00:49] * ManInChains stabs him, shaking weakly as the electric feedback rushes over him. 06[21:07:34] * Tetsuko tries to break out, but can't. 06[21:10:26] * Navi motions, the electricity channeling back to herself then sending out a huge bolt of electricity to each of her allies, and around herself, shielding them from harm as well as providing a rather dangerous barrier to cross. 06[21:11:01] * WomanInBlack snaps to - and promptly runs, and tackles the Chained Enforcer, passing right through him, and landing roughly on the other side. 06[21:20:26] * Noah flickers, fading for a moment, before Something yanks him back into reality. He smiles softly, a bit of his golden aura returning. "I'll get your girls out of this. We're going to destroy you, Core, if you don't surrender." He turns his head to look at the woman who just tried to get the man in chains off of him. "Petronella, do trust me? I mean, -really- trust me?" he asks, smiling with that 'I never lose' smile of his. [21:22:05] Is the fact that I'm trying to save you, and have followed you despite my misgivings, not proof enough!? 06[21:24:22] * ManInGreen pauses, looking at the electrical barriers. Instead of attacking, he gestures, manipulating the reality - and suddenly, the Masked Man doesn't look so weak anymore. [21:27:03] * ... before a sudden snap reverts it. 06[21:27:12] * Noah nods weakly. "I just needed to hear you say it. Tell me you trust me. Don't tell me you'll die for me. Tell me you'll LIVE for me." 03[21:28:42] * Core (HeWhoHunts@68-118-60-90.dhcp.csby.or.charter.com) has joined #VCB [21:29:38] ~SHE IS MINE~ 06[21:30:16] * WomanInBlack starts to nod, before the black bracers start to form on her again, slowly, softly shimmering into existence on her... [21:31:27] No. ~SHE IS MINE.~ 06[21:40:25] * Noah ... well, that metaphorical golden glow stops being quite so metaphorical. ~DESTROY THE CORE, MY CHAMPION.~ [21:50:10] * For a moment, everything stops. In the stillness, an eternity passes by, many wills pooled together, bonded together by desperation and friendship, versus one, overpowering, everpresent absoluteness. [21:50:25] * ... and then something gives. 06[21:54:14] * WomanInBlack stands, the half-formed bracers falling to the ground, uselessly, and glowing softly golden. She's still for a moment, then the golden halo turns blinding, a shimmering blade of the same color forming in her hands. "... I've faced you once, Core, and have wounded you. Between all of us, we shall do more than wound you this time." And the forces holding down Noah and Tetsuko snap. [21:54:22] * Session end. Session Close: Tue Feb 12 00:00:00 2008
