z-Watchwoman Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 She was happy. Someone loved her. On some level, that was less important than who, but she felt needed, wanted, complete. And then Tessa started shouting."Something..." It was her blood, her damned genes. Serene heard Tessa's shout, and it broke through, but not well. "Tessa, get Djane here, and wish it away..."She did what she could; she stopped her twitching skin, and that delectable scent faded away.Click to reveal..

Even so, her sense of duty to her friends and team were too much to just let her stop. That, and the knowledge that Matrix would never let her live it down if she was the only one who came back from this."Djane should be right behind me," she said to Watchwoman. "Sorry about disobeying your order, but after seeing what was going on, I thought it would be best if we stayed together. We're going to have to reach the top, and it won't be easy."

MegaGirl Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Tessa was yelling something, but it didn't matter. She had her best friend - better than best friend - in her arms, and she wasn't worried about hurting her, everything was perfect. Serene had the softest lips and Karra really liked kissing her, she even wanted to do more... She just hadn't figured out how yet, since neither of them was a boy.Click to reveal.. (Will Save) Will Save +1, DC 19: 1d20+6 = 19 = Success Then the smell of Serene filling her head faded away and Karra began thinking clearly again, or at least as clearly as she ever did. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she wasn't sure why. Karra looked at Serene, still held in her arms, her eyes wide, chewing on a lip."Um... Why... Um...Did we kiss?"

Celestial Centurion Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Centurion pulled up short of the pyramid, eying the structure warily. "Wait, all of you ... damn, its like trying to herd karpillians." Herak waited, the others seemed ill inclined to listen to his advice so he would allow them to try and reach their leader, perhaps Watchwoman could bring them into some semblance of order. As he watched them go he noted that as Djane moved away from him the crushing sense of despair seemed to intensify. I will need to investigate that, perhaps her powers will allow us to overcome this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaGirl Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Karra scrunched her nose at the smell as Serene was engulfed by smoke, though the feel of Serene's skin and clothes writhing was ticklish. When the smoke cleared, Karra noticed that Serene's wings are gone."Your wings are gone, Serene. Where'd they go?" MegaGirl turned towards the others as they caught up, Serene still in her arms.

z-Watchwoman Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 "Djane removed the wish," Serene said, having a blissful moment where the events of the past several minutes were very, very fuzzy. But she wasn't like MegaGirl; she didn't live in the Now. A blush of shame suffused her cheeks as her recall came back, but her mask hid most of it. She bit back the impulse to shove herself away from her friend and instead just tried to pretend that nothing had happened. It wasn't easy."Everyone, what is your status?" she asked over the ring, determined to get her head back where it belonged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get you, everyone, to the top, no problem. And then we'll find Mom." MegaGirl's confidence was climbing as things we going back to normal... well sort of, but enough for her.MegaGirl stretched out a long, strong arm, ready for anyone else who wanted to ride the KarraExpress, only stop - the top.

z-Watchwoman Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 "Centurion, thank you," Watchwoman sent to him, her mental voice still tight with disappointment. "We're going to approach the summit, and I'm concerned if you don't join us, you'll be stranded her if we are moved elsewhere. Can you join us?"Part of her wanted the older man closer. He was an adult, and that made her feel better, just to have one around. Especially since he seemed to back her, and that made her feel more stable, less like she was going to lose control of the group at any second.

MegaGirl Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 "Going to the Top now!" Karra exclaimed. She already had Serene in one arm and Tessa was holding onto the other. Karra flew in behind Echo and pulled her into a firm embrace with the other Legacy girls, then spun around looking at the two boys in concern."I'm sorry, but I don't have enough arms to - Wait! I know!" MegaGirl's expression brightened with an idea. "Hold onto my feet, really tight, not pretend tight, but tight-tight so you don't let go, 'kay?"MegaGirl flew so her feet were head level with the boys and when she had her latest passengers, she began to ascend to the peak of the pyramid. Her acceleration smoothly increased, not putting undue strain on her passengers, and within seconds they were all at the top, gazing upon the Marked Tablet and Rainbow-hued Orbs.Karra's heart began to pound, worry assailing her recently restored resolve...Click to reveal..

Joani Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 As soon as the young heroes landed on the top of the Pyramid an overwhelming sense of despair gripped their hearts. Any hope to actually making it out of here alive suddenly vanished and uncertainty was their predominant emotional state. With uneasy steps they slowly walked towards the tablet which was roughly 7 x 7 feet in size. Runes like they had seen before in the prison complex shone with a dark presence and the edges of the carvings seemed to bleed black blood.Click to reveal..

Underneath the orbs were golden copper like plates that were embedded in the Pyramid. Suddenly a huge shadow spread over them and with two powerful lashes of it’s mighty wings a huge Demon landed on the top of the Pyramid. It was easily twice the size of MegaGirl with devilish horns and the stereotypical legs that ended in hoofs. In one hand it held a fiery sword and in the other a burning whip which cackled with power.“Who dares enter my domain”, the voice of the Demon bellowed staring angrily at the heroes while it slashed with it’s fiery whip.Click to reveal.. ooc: Ok – some of you failed just by 1 or 2 on their saves.

Tesstarossa Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 There was a crushing dread that was gripping TK's soul as they landed, and then it all proved true when the Demon landed. She looked up at the massive thing and forwned. "Great, just what we needed, some baalrog-esque demon to bar our path."She grit her teeth and focused on the task at hand. "We're Members of the Legacy League, looking for our comrade. We have done no harm, and seek only to find her and leave." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestial Centurion Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Centurion felt the weight of crushing despair, the hopelessness of doom and defilement. Shoulder's sagging he struggled to maintain his footing. With a surge of effort he looked to the sky and at the baleful red giant star knowing that as all stars must this too was connected to Hælious. "Great Hælious, grant me the power to overcome this foul miasma!" Whether by a gift from the source of his power or enlivened by his own willpower Herak, the Celestial Centurion, suddenly burst into incandescence his body shedding light within the immediate area and with it a sense of serenity and hope bathed the pyramid banishing despair and fear. All within a hundred feet beheld the searing glow of a star and felt their hearts lighten and their fears recede. "Let us pass foul demon! We seek another who like us does not belong to this domain. Resist and you will have to fight us, relent and we will be gone quickly to bother you no further!"Click to reveal..

Rorx Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hype had just started to feel the despair that seemed to affect so many on the pyramid, when Centurion's conversion to another form banished it in a blaze of light and hope.

MegaGirl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The hammering of Karra's heart was so loud, it seemed to drown out all sound. She swallowed convulsively, staring up at the massive demon with wide eyes full of despair - for the first time in her short life, she felt small, weak, in comparison to another. Her arms went slack, dropping the other three women of the Legacy League to the ground.Then the Celestial Centurion flared with luminous warmth, and all of Karra's fears were burned away under a new confidence. She was MegaGirl! Mega-Strong and Mega-Tough."I'm MegaGirl! I'm looking for my Mom and nothing is going to stop me! Not even an Uggo-DemonDevilFiend-Thing like you!" The girlish timbre of MegaGirl's voice was gone, replaced the self-assurance of the powerful woman that she, in actuality, was.MegaGirl took a long step forward, the ground trembling slightly under the immense strength contained within her powerful frame, her golden-green eyes glowing brightly.

MegaGirl had the thing grappled, but Watchwoman knew that her strength wasn't enough to really help. However, when muscle wasn't enough, she had been trained to use her brain."Hype!" she shouted as she pulled out the grappling hook. She pointed it at a heavy-looking stone structure and fired. "Tangle his legs!"She hoped he understood what she wanted, as she prepared for him to rip her gun out of her hand and use the grappling line to trip up the demon.
