Badlands - Sector S5

Worn, the streets and buildings of this area have seen MUCH better
days, dust and dirt and scorchmarks muddying up what was once a
brand new coat of paint several years ago. Now this area is far from
new, the walls of the surrounding buildings covered in cracks and
sometimes missing altogether, the roads in much the same condition.
No useable debris can be seen, useable by badlands standards, anyway.
Large slats of metal and wood are non-existant, hauled off long ago
to patch up other buildings, metal beams and mechanical components
whisked away to be melted down into more important things. All that
is left are mounds of rubble on the streets, small bits of plaster and
brick stacked as tall as a man's head in some places.

Continuing north, east and south, the roads branch off and lead into
various areas of the worn and battered city, the border walls still visible
to the south while to the northeast the tops of skyscrapers can be seen
rising into the sky. To the west a low rumble can be heard throughout
the day and night, the steady crash of waves against the 100 foot
cliff-face that marks the western border of the badlands.

[!] From deep within the Badlands, an explosion erupts, blowing a
column of light high up into the air that looks vaguely like a cross.

Meanwhile back at the NTSDF Base:

Asuka is outside, answering questions of two fanboy soldiers.
She was already in her plugsuit as she was going to officially
move her EVA unit so it could get the hook up on some make shift
power connectors and then the sky lit up and the ground shook a bit.
She looked in the direction of the cross rising up to the sky with a
gasp of shock. "An angel!?"

Asuka says, "Well don't just stand there you idots! Get whatever
that battery thingy is you want to hook up! That's an angel!
What is that place!?"

"That's the badlands Miss Soryu. Nothing but trouble comes out
of that place." One of the soldiers says before sprinting off to do
as the red haired goddess commands."

[A second blast erupts from the Badlands, followed shortly by
a third, each one getting a little closer to the main city.

Meanwhile back at the NTSDF Base:
Asuka hmppphed. "Badlands indeed." She then ran to her EVA,
jumping up in the hand and running up the arm and climbing up
into her insertion plug.

Asuka pages, "ON COMMS: Where are you wonder girl!?
We got an angel attack? I'm waiting for this idiots to finish
hooking up the auxiliary battery back crap they developed on
short notice! This thing better not blow up on me!" to you.

Asuka pages, "ON COMMS: Hey! Don't go charging off like
you are all gung ho heroic! I don't need you trying to get killed
and stealing all the limelight! Do we have any information on
this angel yet? Come on! You guys are too slow damn it!
NERV would already have the info to us!"" to you.

A fourth explosion goes off, and an ominous low tone can
be faintly heard from where teh explosions originated.

Meanwhile at the Base:

EVA-02 waits as the heavy lifters raise the battery into place
and attach it.

A blue and white aircraft streaks overhead, passing over Evangelion
Unit-02 as it's prepped. "This is Lt. Souta Miyashiro, NTSDF." The
male voice comes in over the comms. "What's the situation?" He
asks as he banks the Gaia Gear, sending the machine flying along
the edge of the wall in an arc as he scans the ground below via
sensors and his own eyes, scanning the line of explosions in the distance.

Meanwhile back at the NTSDF base:
EVA-02 activates her external comms, "Beeilen Sie sich, ihr Idioten!!!"
She sounds irritated. It's taking too long to get the power attached and
she didn't like that captain's assessment of 'two more minutes'

The crews are having trouble getting it in place. Asuka gets annoyed
and growls in frustration. She activates her EVA with it's 1m37sec
remaining. She reaches back, careful not to kill anyone and grabs the
battery pack and shoves it into the socket like a pro. Her timer resets
to 15m! "GOT IT! EVA UNITS MOVE OUT! REI! YOU LEAD!"

Unit Zero takes the lead, marching out through the gate through the
wall and out into the badlands.

An odd object seems to be , well resting, or waiting, amidst the rubble
and smoke and dust. It looks like a large sphere, attached partially to
a half dome that hovers above the ground. From either side of the
upper half are 2 long round ribbons, or arms of some sort, pointed at
the end, that all four just idly flit about. Inbetween the eyes on either
side are a set of 3 gem looking object, a pair of smaller blue diamond
shaped ones, and a larger orange colored oval one between them.
Around the bottom of the half dome are some 10 or so small red
looking sections, that seem to be faintly glowing anf humming,
possibly what is keeping the thing it's controlled distance above
the ground

En route:
EVA-02 moves out behind Rei, snatching up her rifle that had
been reloaded for her. "So what do you know about these
badlands Wonder girl?"

Unit Zero plods rapidly forward. her own rifle held at the ready.
Rei replies through the coms. "It is a described as a place where
universes meet. Usually the bad places."

The Gaia Gear follows the Evangelion Units, keeping at a high
altitude to provide overwatch at the very least. Sounds like
they're focused on chatting amongst themselves and ignoring
his communications. That's fine. As far as Souta's concerned he'll
stay up high for as long as possible to get as much information
about what that thing is as he can. As the massive, rounded sphere
comes into view there's a slight narrowing of the young man's eyes.
He can feel it, sense some kind of output from the thing, creature.
He closes his eyes, trying to cut himself off from the nascent
psychic feelings he's receiving through the Man-Machine's
Psycoframe.

Meanwhile, still En Route:
EVA-02 keeps running behind Unit 00 about 50 yards back.
"Isn't that where you dropped in? Heard the soldiers talking
about you arrived. Figures you'd come out of a place called
the badlands!" She snerked.

Unit Zero is silent. apparently Rei is not deigning to respond.

The thing moves ever so little, putting itself out into clearer ground,
as the 2 small blue gems on each side get closer to teh oval one,
then separate back out, as it's arms wrap around it's upper half, the
gems like objects on the one side turn to face the general direction
of where teh Eva's are approaching from

Unit Zero has arrived.
EVA-02 has arrived.

Unit Zero arrives at the scene, rifle ready, the cyclopean head,
turns to watch the angel as the pilot tries to figure it out.

EVA-02 split off some distance back, to move off to the right,
placing her bright red angel killing machine on a 90 degree off
axis from Rei. She looked at the angel through the scope of her
EVA sized assault rifle. "In position Rei! That thing looks weird!
Weirder than usual!"

Unit Zero offers a one word agreement. "Indeed"

No sooner does the second EVA stop moving, than the red gem
flares, and the angel sends blast towards both Evas.

Unit Zero leaps forward into a roll, attempting to clear the blast
radius of the attack. If successful, as it comes to it's feet, the Eva
will fire off two shots from the 'rifle' with the caliber of a 15 inch
naval gun.

EVA-02 was expecting the angel to go Rambo the second they
arrived and spreads her AT field out and does a combat roll to the
side which crushes a bunch of abandoned buildings along the way.
"HA! Fiesty aren't you!? Nimm das du Arschloch (Take this you
asshole)!" She fires a 5 round burst from her battle rifle dead
center on the Angel.

The Angel shifts to one side, avoiding one set of rounds, the others
clipping one of it's arms which have come out and begin moving
around, now one of them significantly shorter

Unit Zero marches forward quickly, Firing twice more on the
move. Again the single eye and head move about, looking for signs
of the angel's core.

EVA-02 rolls around in an almost breakdance like maneuver and
flips back up on to it's feet, running around the Angel and maintaining
the range to target, using the ruined buildings for partial cover as she
moves, firing short controlled bursts between each building as the angel
becomes visible. "Be careful of those arms! Remember that one angel
that could slice entire buildings apart with one flick!"

the angle takes the tips of it's arms and folds them up ro down, and
begins spinning the around it's core, shielding its gems from direct
attack as the one along it's base flare, kicking up massive amounts
of dust and debris, as the rounds either deflect off its AT field or do
minimal damage to it's surroundings, and a small crackle appears in
the sky a short distance away.

Unit Zero pauses and takes cover behind a building. The gun at
the ready but not firing again. "Analysis?" the pilot asks.

EVA-02 is oblivious to the crackle in the sky and is more
interested in trying to see if there is a timing pattern she can take
advantage of to snap shot through the whirling arms to try and
hit one of the gems.

the Angel's gems shift form side to side, taking potshots at the areas
the Evas are in, as the crackle grows, lighting just arcing in midair
with no discernable point of origin or destination.

Unit Zero ducks as a shot comes close, then pops out and takes a
carefully timed shot at the angel trying to get a direct hit either on
the arms or between them. The EVA then ducks back under cover
not waiting to see the effect. Again the single-eyed head scans the
sky but there is no more communication over the Coms. Rei has
realized there is no base command here.

EVA-02 combat rolls to the right barely dodging the beam attack.
"Oh just give up already! You're going down you just don't know
it yet!" She gives a battle cry and goes full auto on the angel, raking
it back and forth in hopes the mass of fire will weaken the AT Field
enough for her to get close and personal with it.

The angels' AT Field shimmers with each round that hits it, the
field slowly contracting, growing closer adn closer to the main
body as teh crackles grow a bit more, and a blue and purple
vortex opens in the middle of teh air, swirling with teh crackling
dancing around it.

Unit Zero appears encouraged by the shrinking AT field and
adds more fire to the mix. a pair of shots, then another pair.
A pause occurs at the EVA again looks at the strange atmospheric
effect, then four more shots in rapid succession.

EVA-02 transmits, "I Don't like the looks of that! Damn it!
Where is Misato when we need her feeding us info on whatever
the hell that is up there!?" She ejects the first clip and slaps in a
fresh one and keeps moving between buildings, laying down a
barrage of accurate center mass fire.

Unit Zero responds "Affirmative. This is... difficult."

The angel continues to contract it's AT field as the vortex opens
up and a streak of green hurls towards the ground, kicking up
a large pile of dust, and from the the dust comes a sound of
pure rage, a howl or anger and rage as the cloud clears revealing
one very berserk EVA Unit 04. It's color emerald Green with
slightly faded colored piping, it's mouth open, in a very offensive
stance, the umbilical cord severed on it's back, with an odd emblem
and the letters BAKA on it's shoulder blades as it rear back and
howls in anger, looking side to side with it's head as it catches
a sight of the Angel. Almost as if a comical counter point, a
moment later a flatbed truck with a similar emblem on it's door
and a wire spool of some sort on the bed falls from teh now closing
vortex, landing on it's wheels a short distance behind the greem Eva.

EVA-02 quickly locks on to the green EVA and watches the truck fall.
"Is that .. another EVA unit!? Or another angel!? I can't tell if it's
pattern blue or not! Scheisse!"

Unit Zero stops as if the pilot is momentarily stunned. "That IS...odd".
Then it returns to firing on the known Angel "One threat at time Asuka."

The Angel wastes no time in throwing blast from it's backside at the
new threat.

EVA Unit 04 only growls as the incoming shot easily deflects off
it's AT field, as it's shoulders open up, ejecting a pair of prog knives
out, which are caught as the Eva powers them up and rushes forward
with no care for anything else.

EVA-02 switches her aim back to the Angel since it looks like this
new EVA she's never seen is on the attack against the Angel.
She blazes away with her battle rifle and snaps sharply at Rei, "I
know what I am doing wonder girl!"

Unit Zero changes magazines and pours fire onto the angel, firing
as fast as the trigger can be pulled. "It looks like a Berserk EVA.
The markings are unfamiliar"

The Angel's AT Field is almost fully pulled in as the rounds are
taking their toll, more pieces of it's flailing arms fly off, of course,
not stopping it from trying to kick up more dust or fire off more blasts.

EVA Unit 04 gets into melee range and flat out lunges it's blades
into the Angels At field, making some headway, really gouging up
the arms as the Angel fires off a point blank shot, throwing the Green
demon back some ways, the knives being blown out of it's hands
and away from it as the Eva gets back to it's feet.

EVA-02 runs out of ammo and out of magazines so she flicks the
weapon up to release the bayonet on the rifle then one arm vaults
over a building and charges full speed with her own battlecry shouting
out over comms as the sharp point of her rifle bayonet leads the way!

Unit Zero still has a magazine left. It's quickly switched in and
nearly as quickly emptied.

The angel continues trying to kick up dust, dodge bullets and spin
it's arms around it's body to deflect damage as it takes shots at the
charging machines. The driver of the flatbed truck apparently
finally comes too, and tries to get his truck started and the FRELL
out of the way of whatever he fell into.

EVA Unit 04 finally returns to standing, and narrows it's eyes,
disconcerting coming from a berserking EVA, as it's shoulder
opens up one more, dropping a pointed rod into the waiting had
below, the rod extends out into an Eva size lance, the tip discharging
a single small crackle of lightning as the Eva readies it's next attempt.

EVA-02 dodges left, then ducks under and does a final leaping
spinning jump, swinging the point of her bayonet around hard to
smash the sharp tip into the AT field with all her might, focusing her
on AT Field on that point of impact.

Unit Zero also charges forward. Rolling and crouching to dodge
any blasts directed it's way. The EVA finally comes into contact,
AT Field to AT field and tries to rip it open while bringing the rifle
in from a high port to use the butt end as a club. FEEEEP! Rei's
system announces that she has 5 minutes of battery time left. 4:59..4:58...

A soft crackle comes across the communication lines of the EVAs.
"*crackle* He-*crackle crackle* synchronize with their *crackle*-cast
frequencies." It's a woman's voice. "Raising Heart, try- there we go!
This is First Captain Takamachi, TSAB, calling to allied... mecha?
I am approaching your location to assist in your engagement. SITREP
requested, over."

Probably not even a spot on the radar is a auburn haired girl with pink
angelic like wings flying onto the scene with what looks like a plushie
leading the way, she doesn't have any sort of way to communicate the
way Nanoha does, but is following her here.

The Angel's AT field shimmers near failing from teh bayonet charge
and rifle assault. It tried to use what is left of it's arms to bat, grab, or
otherwise immobilize the weapons but it is ratehr difficult.

EVA Unit 04 takes a moment and then begins to run toward the
angel, building up speed.

EVA-02 slams the bayonet repeatedly against the AT field until the
tip snaps off finally. Asuka is heard growling over the comms in
frustration and anger. "SITREP IS I AM PISSED OFF!" She slams
her fists into the weakened AT Field, focusing her own to try and
bore through the weakened field and then pull it apart with her
EVA's bare hands. RAR!

Unit Zero drops the rifle and presses up against the angel's field,
Hexagonal lights flash as she tries to mate the fields and neutralize
the angel's. On the Coms frequency Rei's voice says "All units I
am attempting to Neutralize the Angel's AT field, be prepared
for an all out attack once this barrier is down, Target is the angel's
Core." Unfortunately she doesn't explain her terminology or
describe what the core looks like.

Sakura-chan keeps a eye on Unit-02's attack, she's not able to
communicate with the other people, so she goes for her usual
response for a giant monster, "Make me a size comparable to
the giant monster, BIG!" as she slams a card with her wand, the
wings vanish from her back and for a moment she seems to drop,
before a moment later, Sakura and all that she's wearing is the size
of an Evangelion, another card flies from her cardpurse as she calls
out, "SWORD!!" the card also vanishes and her wand would take
on the form of a rather ornate sword, and she prepares to assist the
attackers.

"...Duly noted." Nanoha glances at Sakura as the pair of pink-
winged magical girls streak through the sky, the coms window
hovering before her as they approach. "Best if we stay above the
fray... Raising Heart!"

"BUSTER MODE!" There's a click as her staff's head shifts
into a distinctive, tuning-fork-shaped configuration. Nanoha aileron-
rolls as she increases altitude, then comes to a halt. There's a
thrumming as a pink sphere of light forms at the tip. Nanoha narrows
her eyes and takes aim as a pink HUD glows before her eyes, the
familiar report of her cartridge system cracking in the air. "TARGET
LOCK ON! LET'S SHOOT IT MY MASTER!"

"DIVINE BUSTER EXTENSION!" A torrent of pink light surges
forth, slicing through the air towards the Angel.

The Angel makes one last ditch effort to pulse it's field to throw
it's attackers off, beginning to spin it;s entire form, kicking up
more dust as the pink beam from above distorts it's field,
pushing the hovering angel closer to to the ground.

EVA Unit 04 reaches a certain point and leaps into the air in an arc
that will take it right down atop teh Angel, as it shifts itself in midair,
bringing one end of the lance to bear, a shimmer can be seen almost
drinking from around the Eva itself, as teh tip of the lance begins to
glow brightly as it rapidly descends toward the angel and its
attacking dogpile.

Sakura-chan gets the idea and sword in hand, knowledge imparted
from the card on how to fight with said weapon, she charges for the
monster, aiming for wherever Unit-04 is with its lance.

Unit Zero is pushed back but recovers quickly enough, lunging
forward again as the angel starts to spin. attempting to reach in with
both hands The EVA aims to grab the angel. "Asuka, the new EVA!
Hold the Angel Still."

EVA-02 pops her Progressive Blades from their shoulder mounts
and brings them in an over head downward swing to smash them
into the AT field and hopefully through so the blades can dig into
the Angel's body and slow or stop it's spinning to allow the rest of
the Angel Beat Down Brigade to finish this ugly bastard off.

The Angel can hardly move, but it keeps trying to.

EVA Unit 04 comes bearing down, the glowing tip of the lance
easily slicing right through whatever was left of the Angel's AT
Field, skewering it like a kabob, the glow vanishing as the field
re-asserts itself over the green EVA should the angel try and go
explosively postal.

Report after report cracks in the air as Nanoha loads a few more
cartridges from the magazine. The Divine Buster crackles, then
expands, the torrent of pink light widening and intensifying into
a pillar of rose-colored doom hammering down on the Angel.

Sakura-chan's eyes narrow, she pours more power into the sword,
willing it to cut through the monster's shields and core, the sword
is said to be as strong as Sakura's will, so lets hope its strong
enough. She attempts to slash at the monster again, aiming again
for where the other attacks were aimed, while trying to give
everyone a clear shot as best she can..

Unit Zero holds on for dear life trying to pull the angel's arm away
from its central body. The EVA backs up a bit to achieve this and
also give the other attackers more room for their attacks.

EVA-02 sinks the blades in deeper, sparks showering everywhere
as she does. She growls as she uses sheer will to try to hold the
Angel in place, "Would.. you.. just.. DIE ALREADY!?"

the Angel's arms stop flailing as it falls to the ground, all the gems
beginning to give off a bright glow as it's main form is peirced and
the various attacks are now slicing it apart.

Nanoha 's voice clicks in over the comms. In addition, a little
window pops up in Sakura's peripheral vision. "I'm not exactly sure
what that thing is, but are those gems supposed to be glowing?"

EVA Unit 04 just roars and leaps backwards pulling the lance out
with it, landing on it's feet, with one hand steadying itself and the
/other holding the lance as it staes at teh dying angel.

Unit Zero backs away and over the coms announces "We need to
destroy the core or withdraw. The Angel appears ready to self destruct."

Sakura-chan looks over at the screen then towards the monster,
"Thats never a good sign..." she backs away then over to the other
combatants, she mutters, "I'm going to feel this in the morning...
" she calls out, "Become a barrier to protect us, SHIELD!!" as the
card vanishes at the touch of her wand as it changes back from
being a sword, a large pink dome about the size of a city block
would form around her and anyone in her general area, that ends
right before the angel, she calls out, "WHEN IT GOES UP, RUN
INTO THIE SHIELD!" hopefully the EVA's can hear her.

EVA-02 withdraws it's knives and stores them back in their holders
and she backflips away in style and then finally notices the HUGE girl.
The face she makes if one could see her now is purely a WTF face
but she still slides through the shield barrier.

The Angel does go ballistic, letting off the full contained power it
held, exploding outward with a force that will elvel just about
anything the isn't AT field or similarly protected.

Well, that was certainly useful. The Divine Buster cuts out as
Nanoha dives down through the air and slide into the shielded area.
"Raising Heart? Any estimate on this shield's power level?"
"SCANNING..." The Device chimes. "SPELL POWER RATING
APPROXIMATELY SS+ CLASS..."

Sakura-chan grips her staff with all her might, pouring all her will
and heart into the shield, her magic draining at alarming rates for her
to hold off an explosion of this magnitude and of this much area,
but she's powering through it as best she can, she remains standing
and focused but isn't really talking, because she's focusing on
keeping the shield up.

Unit Zero didn't make it to the shield and is bowled over, tumbling
head over heels for a couple of city blocks its own AT Field showing
the Hexagonal stress marks of being under assault, but apparently
not breached.

EVA Unit 04 makes no motions other than to stand up and take the
brunt of the shock wave, not even flinching. Looking at it...you
might think it would spit if it could, as the dust settles, it collapses
the lance, returning it to the shoulder blade it came from and begins
looking across the horizon.

Nanoha looks up at Sakura, then lifts Raising Heart and flicks it
towards her. Ribbons of pink light swirl up to Sakura as she transfers
magical energy over to the giant girl, supplementing her output.

Sakura-chan's eyes go wide as she feels a supplemental magical
power flowing through her, the drain is far less, and she pours it on,
till the blast ends and she colapses 'The Shield' back into card form,
then looking over to Nanoha and grinning broadly, "Nice teamwork!"
then over towards the mecha, "Is that it? Is it over?"

Sakura-chan does attempt to go over and try to help Unit-0 to its feet
if possible, that must be a sight, a huge girl trying to help a giant
robot stand.

EVA-02 is protected by Mega Sakura's shield with the energizer
mecha backup power supply. She was more than willing to let someone
else get blown up for once. She then turns her EVA to face the green
one. "Pilot of the green EVA unit! Identify yourself immediately!"

Unit Zero gets up. The EVA doesn't spurn Sakura's assistance but
hardly needs it. FEEEEEP anounces the internal systems. 3:00...2:59...

EVA Unit 04 just growls at the other Evas, and fixates on a direction,
and begins walking towards teh city. Oddly enough as it walks away,
it takes care to avoid anythign left standing, as if not wanting to cause
any damage that is avoidable.

Sakura-chan hmphs, "Is that any way to treat your friends and
teammates? Meanie! You come back here and appologise! They put
their life on the line with you!
post."

Nanoha says, "...You know, fighting giant monsters is a lot easier
when you have a giant robot on your side. Who knew?" She
dismisses the Divide Energy spell and turns her attention to the
comms window. "Could one of you patch me through to your
commander?"

Sakura-chan smiles up at Nanoha, "You did great! Without you I
don't think I could have kept the shield up as long as I did, Being
big doubles the amount of mana my magic costs too..."

EVA Unit 04 just continues to walk away, ignoring everything,
even the flatbed that is trying to follow behind it as it makes a more
or less bee-line for something in the city proper.

EVA-02 redeployed her progressive knives and shadowed the
EVA as it moved. "Get on your feet wonder girl! This EVA may
be all screwball like that last one. We don't have a commander
right now! Just follow us for now if you want to help! This EVA
may be beserker or infected! To the pilot of the green EVA, I say
again, respond! You are heading toward Neo-Tokyo! Identify or
you will be engaged!" She huffs.. engaged by nothing because the
JSDF is in kind of suck mode at the moment on her EVA and Rei's
are running lower on power.

Nanoha says, "...Also, is -that-," she points at the retreating green
mech, "supposed to be going into the city?"

Unit Zero moves to stand in EVA 4's way. Repeating Asuka's
demand "Identify Yourself". She also takes time to reply to
Nanoha "We are...lacking a commander at the moment."

Nanoha says, "...Answers my question." Nanoha readies her
staff and shoots off towards the retreating EVA, a bright pink
contrail trailing behind her. "Sakura, move in as well, but try
not to engage in direct combat..."

Sakura-chan nods and was already en route, as embarrassed
as she is that anything below here might be getting a show,
she runs at her top speed to assist the others, but staying back
from attack range like Nanoha suggested, her mind running
through the cards at her disposal, she has one thing she can do
if it comes to it...

EVA Unit 04 makes no motion to stop, and continues on it's is
straight path, avoiding damaging any buildings or property as
best it can, apparently not concerned about power.

Nanoha says, "Sakura, do you happen to have anything that
could slow that thing down?"

An extrapolation of the errant unit would show among other
things, the Talikihongan Temple would be in it's path.

EVA-02 follows not really wanting to tangle with another
EVA without more weapons and she's a bit worn out from that
fight. Then she notices the EVA is actually avoiding crushing
things and is going out of it's way to follow paths that keep it
from doing so. "Rei, this EVA looks like it's going some place
specific and it's going out of its way to not damage the environment."

Sakura-chan nods, "WINDS, BECOME A BINDING CHAIN!"
as she strikes another card as it would vanish and a giant beast
that for a moment looks like a giant pink etherial bird would
appear then vanish and chains of solid wind would attempt to
bind unit 04's legs and arms.

Unit Zero's pilot has one eye on her count down timer.
"Perhaps it would be safe to allow it to proceed?"

EVA Unit 04 is slowed, but growls, and continues to make
slow progress, it's eyes getting a little brighter.

Unit Zero's pilot adds. "And what is that smaller vehicle?"

Nanoha blinks at that. "Smaller vehicle?"

EVA-02 continues to follow, noting the chains. Asuka speaks
through the external speakers, "Hey... you.. giant ..magic.. girl..
person.. I can't believe I just said that... let it go. Don't agitate it
just yet. It's heading somewhere. We'll follow it closely."

Unit Zero stops to pick up the rifle. Then for Nanoha's sake points
at the actually rather big, truck that appears to have once been tethered
to the Green EVA and following in it's wake.

Sakura-chan nods greatfully and releases Windy from unit-04, her
other option was going to pretty much have her calling on
ANOTHER element card at the same time, she steps back and
allows herself some recover time while just supporting 'The Big'
as she defers to the experts, but follows them just in case they need
backup, "The strong, silent treatment isn't cool nor does it win you
friends ya know..."

EVA Unit 04's eyes go back to the previous dull glow as it
proceeds on it's way...

Nanoha frowns. Now that was something she -should- have noticed
before. Why was there a lorry hanging around a giant robot battle?
She descended quickly, flying down and matching speed with the
truck to try and peek inside the windows of the cab.

The truck is moving, the driver looking very weary and tired, but
none the worse for wear, just grumbling about silly pilots and wanting
to be back home.

Kero-chan alights next to Mega-Sakura's head, looking more like a
gnat when compared to her, "Yeah, this one's worse than Yue ever
was... Least he spoke when he was being moody..."

EVA-02 transmits, "Rei, I think there is a pilot inside. They may
be unconscious. I think this EVA is working under it's own power
maybe? It's just weird!"

Unit Zero follows, the pilot still watching the power timer.
"It appears to have once been plugged into the power supply.

Unit Zero notes the trailing severed cord and how it matches
the end sticking out from the truck. "Mobile power supply?"

EVA Unit 04 makes it's way through the city, slowly, carefully,
doing little more disturbing some animals, knocking over a traffic
light, and disturbing some plants until it comes to the outer gates
of the Godesses Temple. It looks down at teh temple, and slowly
goes to 1 knee, with a finger very carefully, and with some
difficulty traces a letter U in the nearby disturbed dirt, and just
begins to wait, looking at teh front door...as if waiting for something.

EVA-02 comes to a stop a ways away. "Looks like it's stopped at
that temple over there. Okay. This is officially weirding me out!"
She looks at her timer. "Almost at the point of no return here too."

Unit Zero having carefully followed the other EVA much of the
way, also stops. "I don't think it means harm. and...we are out of time."

Sakura-chan slumps a bit and she returns to normal size as 'The
Big' returns to its cardpurse, and her angelic wings reappear before
she falls to the ground because of her mass shrinking, "That took
alot out of me, I.. I'm heading home, I'm with Nanoha though,
I want to hear all about this.. This was a weird night... At least
Oblivion stayed away...

Nanoha says, "We should probably notify the authorities about the
giant mecha currently sitting in the middle of Tokyo..." Which
authorities? Did this place even have authorities? She glanced over
towards Sakura. "I can handle a debriefing if necessary. Go rest."

EVA-02 opens up a channel to the NTSDF. "Okay, we have to
pull off target. Get some military around this EVA and keep people
away until the pilot emerges or it goes nuts. We have to RTB!"

Sakura-chan nods, "Ok, keep me informed..." and she turns and
flies off back into the city, towards Tomoeda..

Unit Zero says, "Captain Takamachi. You can find us currently at
the NTSDF ground base." To Asuka it is said "Affirmative. NTSDF
or NTPD should be notified."

Nanoha says, "Roger that." Pause. "Um... not to sound like an idiot,
but... where is that, exactly?"

Nanoha says, "I literally just arrived today, so I'm a not exactly familiar with the area."

Unit Zero rattles off an address, it also happens to back onto the badlands. with it's own gate in the wall. For which in point of fact, the EVAs are headed.

EVA-02 transmits with a sigh, "Dummkopf...."

Nanoha says, "Roger." Nanoha performs a sharp bank and shoots off in that direction."

|Date = 05/19/2016
|Where = Murphy Academy's Science Block's basement.
|Log=

Science Block : Bottom of Stairway
It is almost entirely pitch black here, at the bottom of the thirty foot staircase. However, light filters through a nondescript door, keeping the grues at bay.

It's dark, not dark and WET, but still stereo typically QUIET. Shirou had been hearing rumors of activity in an old science building that drew her attention. Most specifically the fact someone had seen some of the classed skeletons roaming from this area now and then. Since such a rumor was floating about in the right 'channels', she assumed this was worth checking out and had her servant watch from a distance for any INCOMING undeads. She makes her way down the dim stair case and finds...nothing that looks any more suspicious than the rest of the building. Maybe this wasn't the right place after all? The red head narrows her eyes and starts looking closely over the floor here, making sure there's no OBVIOUS signs of a magical circle or blood stains.

Quiet? Forget quiet. An outright /shout/ can be heard at the top of the stairs, as a voice calls out, "Hello? Is anyone there? Is this the basement of Fuurinkan High School?" Down the stairs trudges Ryoga, lost as usual.

As luck would have it, one of the city's longest residents, Kinomoto Sakura is literally flying overhead at this moment, yes, flying, pink feathered wings and all, by now people probably are used to this kind of thing so the calls of an angel flying overhead is probably either stopped or ignored, Unless something draws her attention however, she will probably continue on to home...

The sight of a teenager in psionically-generated armor about half again her size might well bring Sakura up short; Hisako had heard some of the rumors about this place, and is on her way to investigate. Travelling *without* her armor up would probably draw less notice, but she doesn't have access to any vehicles and her armor's stride length is longer than her own.

Miss_Emiya nearly falls RIGHT on her face at the sudden SHOUTING breaking the silence. "Erk---uhh? Sorry? I think the signs said this was Murphy Academy?" She's still a little thrown off by a living person showing up and not even meaning to be here, but dusts herself and smiles up at Ryoga. There's DEFFINETELY a dark energy seeped into this room that's likely felt by strong enough senses for magic on the outside of the building. "You might want to start looking else where anyway though. I've heard some ugly things about this place."

Sakura-chan has always responded to incidents if she sees them occuring, so when she sees Hisako arrive she banks a bit to start to circle the building, those who can see, might notice the small.. Plushie?! Flying with her start heading for the building..

Ryoga sighs and slumps his shoulders as he hears it's in fact not the right school at all. "Thank you, miss. I'll just be on my way, then." He turns to leave, but not up the stairs. No, he's reaching right for the door at the bottom of the stairs, and unless he's stopped, he goes right ahead and turns the knob and walks right on through.

Nyarko-san arrives on foot. running so fast as to leave a dust plume behind her. She's also on the phone. "So I'm checking out the energy like you said but it doesn't APPEAR to be from space..." She stops at the top of the stairs as she notes the others. "Oh this is interesting. Call you back boss."
Red glowing eyes open and peer at the group from the shadows underneath the stairwell for a moment, before closing and vanishing again.

Hisako slows to a normal walk, her armor shrinking and disappearing as she reaches the ground-level door; she would have stayed armored, but it would have been tricky to fit through the door at her usual armor's size. At least, she thinks, she isn't going to be alone in looking around. "Hello," she greets Nyarko, waving briefly to the white-haired girl. "Did you come to investigate the rumors too?" She'll probably start heading downstairs as well, unless Nyarko (or anyone else) holds her back from proceeding into the depths of the building.

"Ossu!" a odd voice calls out next to Hisako and Nyarko, for a moment it might seem to be from nowhere, till you might notice what looks like a plushie cat? lion? what *IS* that thing? Well its floating there, staring at the others, "So, whats going on here? Alot of people gathering around a closed school..

Miss_Emiya shivers and actually seems to SMELL the air suddenly. "H-hey, wait," she calls toward Ryouga, "I don't know what's in th---" the darkness of this little downstairs room causes her not to notice something on the floor and trip over it. "Kkhh...what?" She looks over her shoulder at the ground behind her and sees what looks like a skeletal arm just laying there unattached to anything. "Yeaaaaah that really might be a bad idea..."

Nyarko-san ponders this question, These Questions. "I am investigating on behalf of the Planetary Defense Organization. We have evidence of something we have jurisdiction over being up to no good". She pauses for a moment "and I am Nyarko, The Chaos that crawls up to you with a smile!"

Ryoga opens the door, but doesn't yet look inside as Emiya trips and falls behind him. "Are you all right, miss?" He then looks down at the skeletal arm, then back to Emiya. "A bad idea? Why, isn't this the exit?"

Miss_Emiya says, "No, that's deeper into the basement, and I came here because there were rumors some old ritualistic cult might be acting up down here, playing with things like ressurecting the dead." A moan suddenly sounds from the direction of the open door, causing Shirou Emiya to grimace. "Now would be a good time to get away from that door...""

Kero-chan can't help but find a odd kenship with Kyarko, just a feeling it had, "Keroberos! Nice to meet you.." he looks up, "My mistress saw you guys down here and sent me to investigate.. One sec, I'll go get her.. Something DOES feel real off about this place, and not in a good way..." he waves and heads up towards the circling girl, moments later she pulls a rod from seemingly nowhere and starts to land where Hisako and Nyarko are but isn't there yet.

Hisako Ichiki answers Ryoga, "The exit is back upstairs," pointing back at the stairs leading up. "And I'm Hisako, codename 'Armor'. I heard about the rumors of some kind of cult, and I wanted to take a look around." The floating, talking plushie ... actually doesn't seem too surprising to her, although she DOES double-take at it when she realizes that's where the Kansai accent came from.

Ryoga blinks and looks at the door. "Ressurecting the dead? I'm going to guess this isn't a good thing?" At the sound of the moan, he takes to a fighting stance. Raising the dead, moans like that... Ryoga has seen a few zombie movies, so he has a vague idea as to what could possibly be behind door number two. "Ryoga Hibiki," he says in response to Hisako identifying herself.

Shirou gets back to her feet and rushes over to join Ryoga. A symbol on the back of one of her hands is glowing a little, but it seems to be nothing out of the ordinary to her. As the two of them prep for battle, a trio of zombies slowly file out of the door toward them, moaning and clawing at the air. "Deffinetly not good," she answers before looking toward the steps, "Careful, Armor, it looks like it wasn't just a rumor." She grabs up the arm bone and swings it at one of the on coming zombies like it's a sword.

Ryoga blinks at the zombies. "They're really not that intimidating as in the movies," he says before throwing a testing punch at one of the zomies' torso. Not quite enough room to really cut lose in this small space, but then again... When they move that slow, does he really need to?
Hisako Ichiki says, "S-so I see ..." She moves through the door, getting towards the front of the group so she'll have room - and that shimmering energy blossoms around her body again, her exo-armor coalescing. The zombies start coming into her reach shortly thereafter, and she begins fighting to hold them back - mostly with punches and arm-sweeps, adapting what she's learned of hand-to-hand to work well with her mutant power. Odd that one of the smaller girls in the group should be one of the 'big guys' for actual combat, huh?"

"Winds! Become a binding chain!" is heard from the door, a young girl's voice, as a stiff wind would blow past others in the room, but when it reaches the skeletons, it would attempt to pull them together and bind them in place, hopefully imobile, "Sorry I'm late!" says the young girl.

Nyarko-san about to open with a flying kick to the vulnerables, instead just stands aside and watches. "Grump! nothing left for me to fight"

The three zombies are really no challenge, already taken down. "Huh...well....maybe we don't have that much to worry about after all? That wasn't even as bad as those skeletons, and THOSE were light weights," Shirou notes before taking a closer look through the door. "Or maybe I spoke too soon," she states, slamming the door shut behind her as a sudden ROAR of things SLAMMING at the door and the wall it's built into sounds behind her.

Hisako Ichiki nods to Sakura, "I'd say your timing's pretty good ... what's in the other room?" she asks Shirou. "And more importantly, do we need to stop it before it has any chance to try and reach the surface?"

Ryoga blinks at the loud roar and the pounding. "They've blocked us from the exit! We have to go through them!"

Sakura-chan settles herself firmly on her feet as the wings on her back vanish and form into a pink card that forms in her hand, as the other skeletons are taken care of the wind too seems to vanish as a card takes its place as well, and both seem to float into the hand of the auburn haired girl, "Sorry..." looking to Nyarko, then at the sound of banging on the door, "I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed? Or got woken up?

Nyarko-san's ahogi crinkles up. and she just frowns, waiting for the other shoe to drop on these zombies.

Shirou slowly turns and backs away from the wall, looking concerned. "It'a a lot of bodies, most of which AREN'T staying down. It looks like a blood bath in there..." she answers, seeming very composed for someone that looks like such a normal, mundane girl incapable of not much of anything. Well mundane and normal aside from the glowing from her hand. Soon there's a loud CREAKING noise before the entire wall bursts apart, followed by a large army of zomibes and skeletons to come surging toward them. "Khh...so many," Shirou mutters, gripping tightly at the bone she's holding. These enemies aren't wasting near as much time as the three before. Angry, or hungry, or whatever these monsters are, they're rushing everyone visible in the small room before them.

From off to the side, those red glowing eyes open, peering at the group. Some may see them for the moment they are there..... or maybe not. Then, they close and are gone again..... leaving a sense of dread somehow to those who DO witness them.....

Nyarko-san opens with a flying kick to the vulnerables of the nearest zombie and then escalates to to her space CQC part two. Brandishing a tire iron she lays into every zombie within reach, aiming as smashing skulls with leg breaking followups.

Hisako Ichiki scales up as far as she can go without blocking anyone else (and without hindering herself), and just punches the lead undead as hard as she can in between her allies' attacks. She's going for torsos rather than heads or 'vulnerables' - undead anatomy is generally limited to holding things together and moving, save for their heads normally being vulnerable to removal or obliteration. Her main goal is to keep the 'crowd' from pressing her allies, or herself, too heavily; she's not sure whether these are contagious undead, but she'd just as soon not find out.

Ryoga drops down into a battle stance and then runs /towards/ them. No, it's not his poor direction sense, it's just his poor descision making skills in general. With a shout, the leaps into the air and sends a foot right into the first one he can make contact with. Landing on the ground, he turns to throw a punch at another, and then pauses. He blinks, then contunes to throw punches and kicks around, but his face no longer holds that fierceness it did when he first lept into battle. He looks almost... sad?

Sakura-chan frowns as she seems to recoil a bit at the sheer amount of undead, there was a time that she would go screaming from this. However she pulls out a pair of cards, "Shield, Sword!" they twirl around her for a moment, she poins her wand with the star tip at the pair of cards, a pink semi-translusent shield forms over her right, and her wand transforms into a gem-handled long sword. She prepares for whats heading for the group, "I can't safely use all my power in a building like this..."

Of note, all these skeletons and zombies that are up front and going down so easily look like the used to be...modernized people. Like they were possibly people that lived somewhere near the academy, or any random modern day place before they became zombies or animated groups of bones. They aren't carrying weapons like the ones that showed up in the previous incidents, they're just surging forward and flailing about violently. However, anyone high up or tall enough to see beyond this surge, would see a group of much OLDER looking undead further back, dressed in armors and equipped with weaponry. For now though, the much more numerous, weaker zombies and skeletons attempt to chew and tear at the people who are so EASILY knocking them down. The ONLY threat at this point is the sheer number...but those older looking ones might ACTUALLY be a threat.
Nyarko, Hisako, and Ryoga are doing a WONDERFUL job of working through the mass of modernized enemies, already having cut down a third of them. As for Shirou, she's not doing quite as well, but at least doesn't seem to be in danger yet. She's still swinging that bone around like a sword, knocking the heads off a couple of zombies in the process, but they're starting to crowd up around her more and more. "I can't call her in here..." she murmurs, "And WHAT is that presence I keep feeling from the stairs?!" She's not managing to see the eyes, but she keeps SENSING that feeling of dread attached to them.

Hisako Ichiki answers Shirou, "I'm not sure, but -" She moves to one side a bit, making more room for Sakura. "Whatever it is, do you think it's more dangerous to us than the horde is?" And speaking of the horde, she winds up and punches a zombie hard enough to bowl over a few skeletons who were coming up behind it; if she has enough of an opening, she tries to take a step forward and stomp on the bones before rejoining the group's front line proper.

Nyarko-san unbuttons the top of her blouse and pulls a hand grenade with a pink bow tied around it out of her cleavage. "Time for Space CQC part 3!" she shouts and lobs the grenade deep into the mob. As an after thought she takes the spinning and whirling tire iron to any closer targets.

Sakura-chan sees everyone in combat and shakes her head, she pulls back the sword and joins the others in taking apart several of the skeletons, the number of them is amazing, and she's fighting with a skill that someone like her PROBABLY shouldn't have, not to mention the sword seems to be attempting to cut through whatever it hits like a hot knife through butter, that is till she reaches mid swing after felling a skeleton, she steps back, her eyes go wide, "Wh... What... Who?" she stumbles back and actually falls onto her rear, the sword and shield falling from her hands and returning to card form but hovering around her almost confused and definatly protectivly, "NO!!! NO!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" she grabs at her head, "I WON'T LET ANYONE DIE HERE!!!" what the HELL?!

Ryoga continues fighting through the horde of weak zombies, but it's clear for some reason his heart isn't quite in it. Something has gotten to him, it seems... and as his face slowly turns more towards a look of sadness, a look of depression, suddenly his stance falls slightly before he looks up and makes a rather distinctive shout.

"Shi shi hoko dan!" The sphere of dark pink energy roars through the zombies, and Ryoga spots the wall. He perks up, ever so slightly. "I'll break a way out!" he shouts before running at the wall, one single finger extended. "Bakusai Tenketsu!" he yells as he jabs the finger /into/ the wall... which then explodes outward, showering him and anything around him with debris. "Let's go!" he shouts, before running off into the darkness... The shout can once again be heard, "Bakusai Tenketsu!" followed by the sound of more stone exploding outward. His shout can then be heard as he apparently has exploded his way into an open area... a shout that is followed by a splash. Oddly enough, what sounds like a small pig bweeing can be heard echoing in the darkness afterwards, the sound carrying away into the distance.

A thin black mist seems to suddenly move throughout the area.... it doesn't hinder anyone, nor have any effect at all. The feeling of dread seems stronger, but whether its due to this strange environmental effect or not is unknown....

With Nyarko throwing a /grendade/ into the masses and the continued efforts of the others, AND Sakura joinging in, the horde has dwindled to less than ten already. How in the world were SO MANY things in that room anyway? With the army almost being gone now, Shirou rushes foward, leaping and bringing the bone in her hands down hard on a zombie's head, smashing it in the process. She shudders again, eyeing the black mist. "I can't tell which is worse," she murmurs, seeming to grow a little confused as she stumbles a little and loosens her grip on her makseshift weapon...that REALLY seems to be working way too well for what it is. 10 of these zombies and skeletons seem like they aren't even worth bothering with, but from further back into the LARGE room the zombies had come from arrows start to fly at everyone involved in tangling with them. And at the noise caused by Ryoga combined with that grenade AND the wall that was already broken by the zombie horde, a male voice suddenly seems to call out loudly in irritation. "WHAT'S ALL THAT RACKET?! I CAN'T HEAR MYSELF THINK HERE!"

Nyarko-san continues beating on zombies and skeletons. Something makes her attack to her left when there is nothing there and she finds herself wide open for the arrows. taking on in a shoulder and another in the throat "Ackthpfff!"

Hisako Ichiki yelps in surprise as arrows start slamming into the glowing energy field of her 'armor'; fortunately, they're not going to get through, but she still brings an arm up so the armor can protect her vitals a little better. "Sakura, have you got anything to deal with whatever the arrows are coming from?" She glances at Nyarko as the silver-haired girl reacts to the arrows, then adds, "Or anything that would at least let us see what we're up against?"

Sakura-chan looks up to Hisako and tears are streaming from her eyes, almost like somoene who experienced a flashback, her eyes blink, then focus, then calls out, "SHIELD!!!" as the card would vanish, and a dome would appear, and attempt to block the arrows, its not very big, it'd cover about four peolpe if they were friendly... Though it works both ways so if you want to attack them, gotta leave the shield.

The dome would be semi-transparent energy-shield like dome.

And pink.

Thankfully Shirou's saved by the sheild in her moment of confusion. "There's way too much dark magic senses flying around here all at once," she states. The armed enemies move foward now, thankfully in much smaller number than the army that came before them. There's about 2 skeletons and 2 zombies each to a weapon type, including swords, lances, staves, and bows and arrows. The archers hang back instead of marching forward with the others. The lancers and sabers start attacking the energy dome viciously. Shirou picks the bone back up from having dropped it. "...but who in the world is yelling," she wonders. "WOULD YOU ALL SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!?" the voice insists.

Nyarko-san is occupied trying to remove arrows from her body. The one on her shoulder comes out easily enough but to deal with the one through her throat she has to push the head out the back of her neck to break it off before withdrawing the shaft. "AckThpt!" she insists. One her hands are free she'll pick up her tire iron/pry bar... thing.

Hisako Ichiki sideglances at Nyarko, and would probably stare if it weren't for the undead still assaulting the shield dome. She took an arrow through the *throat* and she's still capable of complaining about it? That's further down the 'weird' scale than she was anticipating today. "Sakura, are you all right? We need you to hold it together for just a bit longer ... all of us need to make one good offensive push, and we need to do it together! Everyone ready?"

Sakura-chan takes a deep breath, "Wait... None of you saw that? Heard that?" she stands up straight after a moment, muttering, "I thought those stopped... Not again.." she pulls out four cards and she picks up her wand again, "Ready... But stand back.." the cards read 'Firey, Windy, Watery, Earthy'.
As if in answer to Hisako, a male voice speaks, saying "I'm ALWAYS ready......". It's followed by a faint chuckle, and seems to echo through the room

Miss_Emiya stares at Nyarko for a short moment. Have to focus on the battle... "Ready, Armor," she calls back, bringing the bone she's been using up in a bat like stance now. The 10 modern, WEAK zombies scratch uselessly at the shield while the Sabers and Lancers wail VIOLENTLY on it. The Casters and Archers seem to be holding up while the shield is in place. "DO I /HAVE/ TO COME OUT THERE?! I'M TRYING TO WORK IN HERE, DAMMIT!!!," the previously mentioned mystery male voice screams out again. "Hear and see what...Sakura," Shirou wonders curiously, hesitating upon not being sure of the girl's name, "W-wait...I did just hear ANOTHER voice besides that one that keeps screaming things...is that connected to that evil feeling mist that's been floating about?"

Miss_Emiya says, "Or was it that evil feeling from the stairs? ...there's so much evil feeling here..."

After the 2nd voice speaks, the mist seems to move to a single point, solidifying into a black-armored being, with red-glowing eyes visible through a visored helmet. Lances of black and violet astral energy spear up from beneath the 10 weakling undead banging on the shield, which promptly dissolve into dust. The man turns to look over his shoulder, smiling at the group "Told ya i was ready! Rest are yours". He winks, then vanishes as suddenly as he had appeared. For those sensing such, it becomes clear as he appears that HE was the source of the intense dread and evil.

Sakura-chan looks to everyone, sighs and drops the shield, "THEN HEADS UP IN THERE!" she cries out, pointing her wand at the four cards, "FIREY, WATERY, EARTHY, WINDY! Turn that room into a conglageration!" the good thing about having sentient cards that are a portion of yourself is you get a general idea whats going on in there. Between whats been going on and then hearing *THAT* voice she turns and her eyes go wide, "OBLIVION! You're..." she says the last word softly, "back..." almost a squeek.
Meanwhile the cards rush into the room and try to obey the will of their mistress..

Hisako Ichiki doesn't look like she quite expected THAT to happen, but she's not going to argue about the results; she's just going to keep doing what she can as 'party tank,' especially since Ryoga got separated from the group ...

Nyarko-san charges in, tire iron swinging. Her style is less super hero/martial artist and more gangster-delivering-a-beat-down.

Hisako seems to concentrate for a moment. Suddenly a swirling silver portal opens up before her, allowing a glimpse through it to a dark void, speckled with silver energies. As you look, she steps through, the portal fading about her.

Miss_Emiya raises a brow. "Eh? The mist is a person? ...guess I shouldn't be surprized after dealing with servants," she decides before raising a hand toward the undeads and casting some form of light toward them from it. The group stops moving, being unable to avoid the attacks of thier enemies while Shirou uses her other hand (holding that bone she's been using) to knock off the head of a Saber skeleton, losing a little hair in the process as it swings it's sword. "Is that woman with the arrow in the neck actually going to be OK?" She was so thrown off by Nya's reactions that she almost forgot she was even wounded in the first place. That voice screams out yet again, "DAMMIT! REALLY?! ....fine, I'm coming out there." With the combined efforts of everyone all the modern enemies are gone and all the Sabers and Lancers go down as well.

However, there's still the Archers and Casters who....suddenly fall to peices thanks to Sakura. With the sound of a snapping finger, the lights finally turn on, revealing a VERY bloodied room complete with bloody magic circles and various make shift alters, one of which seems to have gone from a make shift alter to a make shift bed that's currently holding what looks like a VERY mangled and deformed body that's missing several bits and pieces and is currently surrounded in like wise make shift medical equiment, with many different tools holding thier barely connected parts that ARE there together.

The source of the snapping looks to have come from a young looking man wearing a doctors coat and white gloves with what looks like a white straight coat without the arm constraints. He has short, black hair and dark, red eyes....eyes that seem to be glaring hatefully toward the destroyed undeads and the people who are here. "...now WHY are you being SUCH an annoyance, exactly? If you came to sell something, I DON'T want it!"

The elementals vanish and return to card form, soon as they do, Sakura colapses to her knees and hands and almost seems to the point of colapse, then seeing Oblivion there, and being so magically drained, she was hoping her strongest attack would make a difference, but this doctor and everything from a horror movie and punctuated with Oblivion toying with her, she colapses onto her side, panting in a mix of exaustion and fear.

Nyarko-san strikes a pose "A-ha." she points at the man "Malefactor, re-animator. Cease your operations at once!" Her Ahogi is straight up like an exclaimation mark. "Re-animation is not sanctioned by the Planetary Defense Organisation"

A circle of shadowy energy forms on the ground off to the side, and Oblivion rises up from it, arms crossed and grinning "Interesting setup you have here...... if a bit primitive". The red glows of his eyes pulse a bit brighter for a moment as he seems to stare at the necromancer/doctor/personthingy

"Aha! I KNEW I smelled a servant all over this," Emiya Shirou states as she points in the doctor's direction, "And just HOW many figures in history, mythology, and literature would be in a set up like this? ...I mean /she/ even just called him Re-Animator!" Shirou points at Nyarako as she says that. "You really MUST not care about being a servant if I can tell WHO you are before I know WHAT you are, Dr. West!"

The doctor just looks at Nyarako, Shirou, and Sakura like they all grew second heads. "First of all, why the hell are you people bringing a CHILD here?! Second of all...Malfactor? Planetary Defense Organization? Servant? You think I /wouldn't/ keep trying to succeed at my research after acending from the mortal coil of humanity? You think I'll just give up on my goal of finding how to break the boundary between life and death?! I WILL discover the secret the gods have been hiding from us all! And some bunch of annoying house guests isn't going to just talk me out of it." He glares toward Nyarako particularly, given she seems to be the current figure of authority trying to bring down his research.

"...gotta be a Caster," Shirou mutters.

Caster West lets out a growl of annoyance and materializes a set of scapels between the fingers of one hand and syrenges in the other hand. "Don't....toy...with ME children...." Not that he looks any older.

Sakura-chan fights with all she has, Oblivion and what turns out to be the Dr. West from Lovecraft standing right before her, like a REAL person, but.. Oddly he feels like her cards do when they manifest, "What.. Gives you the right?" she forces her body to work, "No one should have such control! I won't allow it.." she palms a card as she wobbles to her feet.

Nyarko-san reaches into her blouse and pulls out a capsule suspiciously resembling a pokeball. she winds up like a baseball pitcher throwing the ball over the plate with the bases loaded.

Oblivion smirks, shaking his head "You call them children, yet you are the one throwing the tantrum? Amusing.....". As Nyarko throws her pokeball-looking object, he can't help but say it "Well, SHE has balls, it seems.....". He otherwise stays put.

Thump! Thump! Thump! There's the heavy sound of leather boots; or is it hooves? either way, there's the scent of cigar smoke as a huge being swings the door open. Hellboy. "This a private party or can anybody join?

Minerva peeks in around Hellboy's bulky form. "You guys really should put up better wards to hide dark magic better, you know. Draw adventurers faster than rumors of shiny treasures and emperiled princesses... oh, Hi Nyarko-chan, everything okay down there?"

West narrows his eyes and seems to teleport out of the way of this ball being thrown at him. "So you'd rather just give up and die, and let all the people you CARE about die, little girl," he asks, "WHY should anything but ourselves have the choice of rather life continues or ends?!" "OH FOR FUCKS SAKES," he cries out in annoyance as two MORE people show up, "It's called a laboratory, NOT your friend's house!" He lets out a long suffering sigh like he really IS just dealing with a group of annoying door to door sales people. "No one knows how to even KNOCK anymore!" "...you have NO idea how much I DESPISE doing this...ESPECAILLY since you brought a CHILD here, but if you're going to get in the way..." He traces some sort of symbol in the air with his sharp, pointy object filled hands.

"Oh, hi miss Minerva," Shirou calls before looking back toward the mad doctor and frowning, "Thaaaaaaat might be really bad...."

The aforementioned practically disected, missing some bits corpse suddenly shakes up to it's feet. Now that it's not lying down it looks RATHER huge and not so pathetic and likely to fall apart anymore.

Hellboy hmms. "Just like home. C'mon, patches, let's dance!" He leaps forward towards the rising corpse, letting fly with with his massive stone fist, adding, "It's always the talkers who're trying something stupid! Seen it before!"

Nyarko-san says, "Shanta-kun I choose you!" and releases a Shantak bird, A large reptilian/chicken looking thing, from the oh-so-not-a-pokeball. She also recovers her crow bar from hammerspace or wherever she put it."

Minerva grins beautifically. "Is this a present? An excuse to play with fire? I'm rather bad at it still, but I'm getting better, and I do best in combat scenarios... and fire is supposed to be best against undead." She pauses. "Well, unless the fire's not hot enough, then you just have zombies on fire, and that's not a fun party for anyone." She shrugs as Hellboy goes to play, and walks towards Herbert West, extending her right hand. "Pleased to meet you, sir. My name's Minerva White. Mind telling me why we're all fighting?"

Oblivion just stays where he is, leaning against the wall, smirking a knowing smirk of some kind...... "THIS should be entertaining to watch!".
Sakura-chan says, "I don't want to die, nobody wants to die, but when its your time, its YOUR time, and no one should have absolute power over who lives and who dies! You are NOT a god.." the card in her hand vanishes and forms a bow and arrow in her hands as they draw back, "Arrow, pierce his heart!!" as it shoots off a glowing arrow, heading for the doctor, "What you don't know, is YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!" her family line has natural spirit sense so, it should be a no brainer... That should also help inform Minerva whats going on."

Miss_Emiya narrows her eyes as she watches the battle, going after THAT thing with this bone seems like a bad idea. She doesn't have anything else on hand right now though, she REALLY hadn't expected a quiet check into things to turn into a crazy army of zombies and this mess. She starts to approach the battle, her hand glowing even more than it already was.

West growls again before throwing the scaples upward, muttering something under his breath, actually bothers to shake Mina's hand, and catches the scaples again. Lightning somehow falls to the ground despite them being in a basement with a roof, it attacks the arrow meant for him but arcs about without control for a moment, striking Shirou as well, causing her to cry out in surprize and fall over. "Well I /WAS/ just doing my research, but then everyone decided to invade..." he grumbles, "And I /know/ I'm dead, little girl."

The Hellboy and the Shantak do some obviously GOOD hits to the ....might as well be a huge, animated, anatomical model, as it shudders and lets out a ROAR of anger. It then picks up what used to be it's bed and SWINGS it at the bird and the red dude.

Hellboy says, "Crap! Freakin'two bit Frankenstein," he strikes the right hand of doom at the incoming bed-become-weapon, "I'm comin' for you when I'm done with patches here!" he warns. These anumates are always ridiculously strong, but hey, so are demons!"

Nyarko-san Watches Shanta-kun get clocked by a bed and aims a flying kick at the undead things groin. "Let's see if those were reanimated as well."

Minerva nods. "I apologise for that on my part. Too much concentrated dark magic, I had to investigate." She pauses. "Did you just arrive? Welcoming a new neighbor, I should have brought cookies, or a casserole.... so, necromancy, or science?" She appears genuinely interested in the question, tucking her hands back behind her back as she was taught is polite to do in another person's lab to avoid touching anything.

Oblivion stares at Minerva.... and bursts out laughing as she interrogates the necrodancer in question like a homecoming encounter of some kind! Just too funny! He doesn't seem to pay any attention to the fight with the big guy further away.

Sakura-chan grits her teeth as the lightning hits Shirou, she lets the bow vanish and the arrow vanishes too, she's low on mana and she pants, "He's attacking people with skeletons and has been tormenting the people of the town for weeks, miss! He is no friend of any person here!

"Science...but I'm being forced to commit magic sometimes..." West mutters, "It's bad enough I'm this 'servant' thing now...being this thing is an affornt to science all around." He seems FINE just talking idlely with Mina as if all this mess isn't even going on... Then again he MAY very well be insane. "I'm not attacking ANYONE. Those mindless failures just go about doing whatever they please, annoying me AND anyone else they come across...oh and yes, I am slightly new here..."

Shirou grunts and pushes herself up to her hands and knees, suddenly pausing to stare at the ground. The bloody magic circle she happened to land in suddenly starts glowing brightly, seeming the draw in the last of the lighting that's arcing about. Light starts appearing and taking a form in the middle of it.

The giant corpse's bed weapon breaks on impact with Hellboy's right hand of doom. It then wobbles back, being hit by Nyarko's kick, but imediately attempts to GRAB her into a REALLY tight bear hug.

Hellboy says, "Enough's enough, patches," he whips out the samaritan, "say hello to my little friend." His friend isn't litt;e though, it's HUGE! And the smaritan says hello to the walking corpse, "hands off the lady!""

Minerva shakes her head. "Not really. Are you familiar with Clark's law? Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. It's why I try to study my magical abilities with scientific zeal. I figured it's just insufficiently understood." She kinda figured there was a little insanity in there, to be honest. MAD Scientist, after all. "And experiments should be properly disposed of after the experiment is over. Why are your failures allowed such freedom?" she asks curiously. There's no malice in her voice at all, or chiding, simply.. a desire to -know-. If she hears Sakura, she either gives no indication, or is playing a completely different game from violence is the only answer.

Hellboy says, "Crap...she's gonna talk him to death...."

Nyarko-san is qetting squeezed "Meep! I guess I'm going to have to get serious now. Space CQC enhancer!" She starts to glow all over and under the light her form shifts slightly. Cue Henshin music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z51LFKXtjeY

Nyarko-san morphs into a kamen rider.

Sakura-chan blew her most powerful spells early on, her mana is almost gone, for now, she leans aginst a support and just watches for now...

Oblivion stands, and vanishes abruptly. He has other buisness to attend to, you see. Busy evil being and all!

West seems to be growing more interested as Mina's chatting seems more like an honest conversation than someone else coming to try and keep him from his research. "...I suppose that might be a good point to operate from now that I'm stuck like this," he admits. "Well...they're loud and annoying, but they've done nothing to ME," he states, "I didn't see a NEED to take life from them again...they're living things, even if they ARE mindless pains in my ass... Unlike SOME people all they've ever done in my presence is wander around groaning. Well untill these people opened the door, then the failures apparently raged out on them..."

The giant corpse is hit with the smaritan, causing it to back away again, dropping Nya in the process of her henshining. One could say it's looking bad now, but that's hard to say given the state it STARTED from.

The light in the magic circle finishes forming into what seems like a human form before it disperces, showing what looks like a tall woman dressed in a combination of a brial uniform and...some sort of metal unicorn? She's carrying what looks like a staff with a LARGE metal sphear on top of it which she rests against the ground. Her one visable eye, that isn't being hidden by her red hair peers toward Shirou. "...........master?" Shirou blinks, looking up at her from her spot on all fours within the magic circle, charred looking as she is. "Y...yeah..." Shirou murmurs, "H-help her out, would you?" She murmurs as she points toward Sakura. The tall woman moves toward Sakura and picks her up.

Nyarko-san,now looking like a Kamen rider ripoff, jumps up and spins around as energy gathers in her hand. She shouts "Final Finishing Bullet!" as she aims a punch with literal explosive force... quite a lot of explosive force.... maybe more explosive force than is a good idea in an enclosed space...at the monster.

Well, YES it's honest conversation. Mina tends to belong to the school that if you befriend someone, that person is no longer an enemy. "I see your point. Perhaps then confinement, so they pose no danger to themselves or others, until the source of such degregation can be located. Redundancy can work in one's favor, after all." She rocks back and forth on her heels a little, seemingly unbothered by the nearby chaos even as explosions ruffle her hair. "Maybe we can find a way to bring them up a bit more? Retrofit them to sentience, or something like it at least." She can't help but smile though as Miss Emiya makes a new friend.

Sakura-chan doesn't resist, she's weak mentally and physically, she looks at the odd being and smiles, "T..Thank you..." she looks up at west, "You claim to be a man of science, but... There is nothing scientific about you anymore...

Hellboy decides to press the advnatage, he runs, jumps, leaps, swings, aiming for the corpses' head with his stone fist. USually works, dead or alive, taking the head off, right? And Frankenstien Jr. Over there is just about as nutty as they get; gonna have to have words with that guy. But not Minerva-type words. Hellboy type words.

West ACTUALLY looks annoyed at the summoning of FRANKENSTEIN's monster in his presence. He's making a pointed effort of trying to IGNORE it for the sake of his conversation, but it obviouslly REALLY pisses him off for some reason. "Well, sentiance is the whole problem...that's my goal, is to make a full, successful resssurection. THAT'S why all these MONSTERS are miserable FAILUERS." Sakura causes him to twitch as well. "What do you know of science, little girl? WHAT degrees have you gotten from your YEARS of studying? ....why am I arguing with a child?"

The giant corpse monster takes both the hits to GREAT affect again. EVERY attack against this thing has been a great success....seriously all rolls came out higer than 7. As such it's just barely able to move now, falling down, but still trying to CRAWL at Hellboy and Nyarko. ...hanging by threads...in some cases LITTERALLY.

Franken-tan nods at Sakura and pats at her head a little. Shirou just colapses face first back down onto the ground in the now powered back down magic circle.

Hellboy growls, "Ya can't reason with crazy!" he barks in dis-belief. Is that Frankenstien's monster now? This is a crazy day, still, Frankie ain't all bad. But he's got a side-of-beef to finish off, so he focuses on laying into the re-animate. One fist-stone-fist-red-fist-blow fist? Naw, that don't work. He just goes to town on it.

Nyarko-san strikes a pose and let's her scarf flutter in the wind.

The corpse seems to EXPLODE into...well no there is no explosion anymore, it just stops moving after the over killing town going Hellboy drives into it with his fists...with Nyarko posing before them.

Sakura-chan frowns and shakes her head, Hellboy is right, she takes a deep breath again and reaches into her cardpurse for another card, but makes no move to activate it yet.

Minerva smiles a bit understandingly. "Because... I imagine... part of you still wants to share your discoveries, and teach them to others." Plus, questioning the dude in his own field is... bound to push some buttons. While she didn't know walking in, she's putting the peices together as to whom her host may be. "You look stressed. How long has it been since you've eaten anything? Or tended to your own body's needs?"

Hellboy says, "Eww...don't make 'em like they used to..." he wipes some smutch off his face, then turns to face West and the others. "Listen," he says to Minerva, "Re-animating corpses and crap is usually frowned upon. Take Mr. Wizard here, throw him in a cell and call it a night already.""

"I don't even remember," West replies, "I haven't since I was summoned to this place...and part of me? My entire point is to find the secret to truely defeating death and letting EVERYONE know it...why should our lives be in the hands of some so called gods? ...Gods I'm not so sure are fictional anymore thanks to being some kind of ghost now..." "Oh yes, throwing me in jail is a BRILLIANT idea...here, let me just go incorperal and slip right through the walls for you," West replies to Hellboy's suggestion.

Hellboy lights a cigar. "Got a crap-load of magic user types around here, I'm pretty sure they can take care of that for ya," to West, "Might be able to set up some wards myself, keep ya locked up in yer little play-pen here, capiche?

Minerva throws her hands up. "No -wonder- you're cranky! I bet you haven't slept in ages either. And you expected your experiments to go well when neglecting your most important tool, yourself? Food. Sleep. IN THAT ORDER." Hands go right on her hips. "Don't think I won't enforce it either." And while she's curious, it feels like it's safer not to ask about WHO summoned West here. Allthough... "What did summon you here?"

Sakura-chan looks to Hellboy, "Maybe if I rest for a day or so, I spent everything trying to destroy everything in that room... Even him...

Hellboy tosses Sakura a baby-ruth. "A for effort kid," he says.

Sakura-chan grins and catches, she's catches flying things for her after school club, she smirks, "Nice taste in candy bars!

"And you did a surprizingly good job of it considering WHAT I am," West notes toward Sakura, "Better than most people I dealt with WITHOUT being like this..." "Ughh...everyone knows sleep and any breaks from research longer than a coffee break are for the weak," he mutters, ruffling his own hair. He pauses at the tossing of the candy bar though. "...caffine sounds good right now..." he murmurs before looking to Hellboy again. "You know you're just doing exactly what I want if you trap me in this place with all these forgotten, abandoned corpses, right? "

Hellboy makes a mocking yapping motion with his left hand, "Yadda yadda yadda, don't mean we don't clean it out first. Ain't gonna leave ya with yer toys," he puffs his cigar, 'Pop taught me better then that."

Minerva gives Hellboy a look that clearly says, 'at least we'll know where he is'. "And for all you're a heroic spirit, still human." she points out, almost gently, then reaches into a pocket, pulling out a small plastic bag. "I've only got my emergency chocolate covered coffee bean stash, I'm afraid."

Dr. West frowns and narrows his eyes at Hellboy. "Cruel and unusual punishment!" He then blinks at Minerva's statement and actually seems to perk up a little. "Well, alright...I'm obviously not going to be researching for a while anyway, so a snack can't hurt."
Franken-tan carefully puts Sakura down and goes to try and rouse her charred master. Though this is quickly followed by a certain OTHER servant in blue and silver to come rushing in to help Shirou out too. With the two of them trying to rouse her, Shirou sits up and rubs her eyes. "Ugh...well that was unexpected," she murmurs.

Minerva flashes a quick grin. "Caffiene is caffiene, right?" She extends the ziploc bag full of a pile of chocolate covered coffee beans towards Doctor West, about the size of a man's fist. HOW much caffiene does she run off of if that's her version of an 'emergency stash'??? "Just, try to keep things a bit more confined, okay?"

Hellboy turns to stride out. He's generally not willing to let a loose cannon mad-scientist go unscathed, but he doesn't kill humans, even if he is a ghost, but giving him candy and a talk just doesn't sit well with him.

West nods hesitantly and takes the beans. "Right...I'll try to work out some way to have more control on things..." he murmurs, "I mean...at least SOME people here are understanding of the fact I'm not TRYING to cause rampant chaos."

As Shirou finally gets up, something that looks like a huge portal suddenly appears before her. "....huh? Really...THAT'S all that I needed to do?"

Sakura-chan's eyes look up in time to see the portal and hair goes up on the back of her neck, "That... Is a lot of mana.. Be careful!

Miss_Emiya says, "Oh it's not dangerous...just don't get too close unless you want to be displaced in time space and possibly not get back here again. ...well it was nice knowing you people, but it looks like I just got sent on a side quest and accidently finished it...I've gotta get back home, apparently there's still work to do.""

Minerva nods. "I know, trust me." She turns to look towards Shirou. "I take it you're off to another part of the multiverse? Have fun out there." She stays well back, fully intending to NOT go through that thing. Too much to enjoy here to be honest.

Hellboy tromps out, looking for beer and maybe more mischeif. He doesn't have anybody trying to corral him here, after all.

Miss_Emiya says, "Back to my own reality...I was really worried for a while there that it wouldn't exist anymore, but it obviously does. Thanks for helping out guys!" With that she steps through, followed by her Saber and her new Berserker. The portal quickly dissapears behind them, leaving no sign."

Sakura-chan takes a deep breath and nods, "Be careful out there, I have no intrest in returning to where I was, or another world.. But, if you ever need us, and you can.. We'll be here...

West noms on the beans, seeming content now that it seems people are letting him be instead of being noisy. "Well...assuming that person lets me keep doing as I like, you know where to find me..."

Minerva nods, then pauses. "That person?" she asks before catching herself. "Aah, I do hope you continue to have the freedom to experiment." Cause if he's being a scientist, he's not being called upon to fight aything. Best all around, really.

It really should be a reliefe given the guy did almost NOTHING in this battle and there was still all that craziness that happened. Who knows WHAT his powers actually ARE when he uses them. In any case, this seems like as closed a case as it can get without fighting West....

Outside of the Science block, on top of a nearby place, a guy with blue hair is watching the the building...

Title = Looking for Fun at the Amusement Park
|Summary = A bored, green trouble maker goes to see what's up at a certain green haired trouble maker's base.
|Who = [[Scourge]], [[Harley_Quinn]]
|Date = May 15, 2016.
|Where = Outside the entrance to the Funhouse
|Log=
The park is actually a bit busy tonight! People are bustling around, moving boxes and carting cans and just generally looking busy. Presumably these are all park workers, as they all seem to be wearing clown masks - though aside from that the attire varies anywhere from 'actual clown costume' to 'dude in a business suit'. A woman in a red-and-black harlequin suit seems to be overseeing it all from her perch atop the giant clown face that constitutes the Funhouse entrance - she's sitting on its nose, kicking her feet idly while calling down the occasional instructing. "No no no, Lefty, that one goes to the dunking booth! Punch, if you fall in that crater again I ain't pullin' ya out. Rocco I swear if you drop those fireworks again... c'mon boys, chop chop, we're on a /schedule/!"

Scourge wanders over to the park he first arrived near when he popped into this place. He's got no real thing in mind, he's still just trying to figure out what all's going on in this place. He hears the lady ordering around the people in the masks and gets a bit curios. As such he wanders right into the park like he was invited. "Sooooo, sounds like something is going on here..."

One of the masked men turns to look over at him. "Hey, what the heck are you supposed t'be? We ain't running a petting zoo, spiky. Run along home to your owner." They were no strangers to 'unusual' animals! ...Green ones were kinda new. As were ones wearing clothes. But nobody ever accused henchmen - ah, /workers/ - of being too bright.

Scourge grunts and balls his fist a little. "Well good freakin' thing I'm not here for a job," he states, "Only one person is the master of me and that is me...sooo what's going on Tiny?"

The goon stepped back a bit, presumably startled - though it was hard to tell because, well, mask. "Woah! It can talk? What the hell kind of place is this?" He peers at the hedgehog over the box in his arms. "...Are you one'a the Boss's... experiments?"

Scourge says, "No, I'm not some experiment. I'm Scourge, used to be king of Mobius. Not so great to meetcha. How about you answer the damn question before I decide I'm bored of talking to you?"

Can a clown mask look suspicious? This one makes an attempt. "Who're ya askin' for? We're... movin' stuff. What're you, some kinda spiky spy?"

"Maybe 'e works with the Bat," another lanky, masked minion offers as he passes by with a can of paint. "Bat an' a Rat, all we're missin' is th' Cat."

Scourge says, "Uggghh...apparently you're all as deaf as you are stupid. I'm not a rat, and I work for my own damn self, AND I don't know any freakin' bats. I ask one more time and I'll see if I can BEAT some smarts into ya."

The bulky goon gives a faintly offended huff. "Yeah, like I'm gonna be intimidated by a spiky green hairball. You wanna go stickin' yer nose where it don't belong, huh? Maybe we should take you to the Boss and see what he thinks." He moves to set the box down, as it is hard to grab things while holding a box.

Scourge says, "Well, if the boss knows how to talk to people and you know HOW to show me where someone is, I'd be fine goin' to talk to them. Don't screw up now..."

"Oh, we'll show yeh, a'right," the lanky goon says with a chuckle, as the bulky one moves to try and grab up the hedgehog with big ol' hamhands. Who expects a fuzzy animal to be all that dangerous? He's encountered much bigger and not been mauled! Yet!

Scourge quickly jumps high into the air, and comes back down spinning, aiming to drop both his feet down hard onto the goon's back. His speed is making the force of his hits WAY stronger than his small, scrawny frame looks like it can produce. "An' that's just a love tap, don't make me actually HURT you."

The man is sent sprawling with a surprised grunt, wind knocked out of him. The lanky goon takes a step back - apparently 'courage' is not his forte. "Hey! Yeh little pest!" Is he going to do anything about that? Apparently not. That can of paint isn't going to transport itself!

Scourge says, "You want some too Twiggy? What's the matter, too scared to deal with the guy who took over a planet? How about you just do the smart thing and talk or take me to someone who WILL?"

'Twiggy' seems to weigh his options. He glances to his winded co-mook, and clears his throat a bit. "Yeh wanna talk t'somebody in charge, eh?"

Scourge says, "Somebody who can actually talk smart, sure..."

He gives a little snort, clearly still /trying/ to look like he's got some kind of authority here. "Fine, fine, c'mon, yeh hairball. But yer the one who asked fer it." He turns to head for the Funhouse, still lugging the can of paint.

Scourge follows along after the mook, crossing his arms. "So you dumb asses CAN be taught after all. Do anything stupid like your friend did and you'll be lucky to see tomorrow in one piece.

The mook chuckles dryly. "Fuzzy, /yer/ the one askin' t'go talk to the Boss." He leads the way towards the Funhouse entrance, but doesn't quiiite get through the clown mouth before-

"And just where do ya think you're going?" The harlequin-clad woman peers down at the pair, draped over the clown's nose, chin on her hands.

The goon clears his throat. "Ah, 'e's demandin' t'see the Boss, Miss Quinn," and he jerks a thumb over at the hedgehog.

Scourge says, "Well /actually/ I was asking to talk to someone who had enough brain cells to answer simple questions, but they seem to think you're the only one with a brain! I'm just bored, so I was askin' what the heck's going on here. Heck, when I showed up at this place, /this/ place of your's had an explosion, and now something else is going on..."

Harley_Quinn blinks. And stares for a beat. Aaand gives a happy little squee! "Awww! Oh my gosh, what're you? You can talk? That's so awesome!" She swings herself down from her perch on the clown's nose in one fluid motion, even managing a flip in the process before landing lightly on her feet as if the at-least-six-foot drop wasn't a problem at all. She shoos the mook away with one hand, and when he tries to protest with a faint, "But..." cuts him off a little sharply. "Mistah J ain't seein' visitors! Entry goes through /me/, Ace. Now get that paint where it goes b'fore I start thinkin' it's time to test out the ferris wheel." He hesitates a beat before scurrying off, and she gives a faint snort. "Imbecile. Sorry 'bout that."

Scourge says, "Yeaaah, it happens. I've had a few mooks of my own. They never seem to last. Hard to belive a dame like you isn't swimming in mooks though. I'm Scourge, been trying to get a handle on what this world is about, but I was having trouble finding anyone that seemed...right to talk to. Oh, and I'm a hedgehog."

Harley_Quinn seems just absolutely thrilled by that! "That's so cool! I've never talked to a hedgehog before. Harley Quinn! Pleased to meet'cha." She gives an excited little bounce on the balls of her feet. "I dunno much myself! We just sorta popped in. Only mooks we got are the ones who were in the park when it all happened, I guess? But a new place is full of /opportunity/! So we're makin' plans. Gettin' things set up."

Scourge says, "Intrestin'... What kinda things is a beautiful task master like yourself interested in doing? I mean, I'm not after your secret plans or anything. I don't even know people yet, so I aint got no alliances or anything. I'm just trying to meet people, learn what's what so I know who I should an' shouldn't start making problems for."

Harley_Quinn giggles cheerily, though she does eye him up and down as she leans back against the Funhouse entrance, crossing one leg in front of the other casually. "I wouldn't suggest makin' problems around here. Mistah J's already a little heated over the... crater incident." She casts an idle glance towards the half-filled hole remaining from the aforementioned explosion. "...Buuuut I guess ol' B-man wouldn't do somethin' so fun as to start working with a talking hedgehog!" The idea is... apparently hilarious, sending her into a bit of a gigglefit for a moment before she composes herself. "I guess I can probably say we're plannin' a few little... pranks, is all. It's a new place! A new town! We gotta see if people 'round here got a sense of humor."

Scourge says, "Pranks? That's got a damned lot of potential to be awesome. You keep sounding more and more like my kinda people. Depends on what kinda pranks it is, but I think I'll just letcha surprise me. Don't wannt be TOO nosy." He smirks and gives a little shrug. "Might inspire me to stop poking around and get to work too.""

Harley_Quinn grins widely - which seems to be her default. "Oh, don't worry! My Puddin's a comedic /genius/. It's gonna be a good time. And best of all, nobody's expectin' it! I haven't seen him so excited in months." She seems to find this very pleasing! The nearby mooks filtering in and out of the Funhouse seem to find it a teense unnerving.

Scourge snickers a little. "I can't wait to see it...or at least the looks on people's faces. If your boss is so excited it must be HUGE. Hopefully whoever that Bat is you guys keep mentioning gets it's wings all tied up in something ELSE. Hrrmmm...who IS this Bat?"

Harley_Quinn gives a little huff. "Oh, I dunno. None of us do. Mistah J says that makes things more fun, but I think knowin'd probably help things, y'know? He sure causes us plenty of trouble, the old grump." She says 'grump' with the air of one who considers this one of the most unpleasant things a person can be. "Just a real party crasher, y'know? No sense of humor."

Scourge says, "Oh yeah, I know one of those types. 'Have to HELP everyone, what you're doing is too violent, I'll stop you from causing all this chaos, blah, blah, blah...' Stupid loser doctor." He shakes his head. "Anyway...I'll have to see what this comes out like. Looking forward to seeing stuff happening."

Harley_Quinn chuckles and shakes her head slightly. "I think more of us are doctors than he's got on his side..." She seems to consider this for a beat, then shrugs. "Well, you can hang around if you like. I'll tell the boys not to bother ya. Just don't go poking 'round too much in the Funhouse. Mistah J won't let nobody but me get around him when he's workin'." She sounds /quite/ proud of this status level. "Somebody should remind Ace of that before he gets himself in trouble."

Scourge says, "If 'e's anything like those goons that greeted me, good luck with that one. I think I'll check out some of the rides and games out there, but I don't wanna get in the way of anything. If I get too bored waiting, I'll just do some of my own pranking elsewhere."

Harley_Quinn chuckles and waves a hand. "Ah, he thinks he can get in with Mistah J an' go over my head. Like I wouldn't notice. Sure, explore, have fun! ...Maybe skip the ferris wheel, though, we're still workin' on that."

Scourge says, "Oooh, one of those kinda idiots. Wonder how long that'll last...anyway, you seem busy with this, so I'll drop in some other time."

Harley_Quinn grins. "Sounds like a plan. Scourge, was it? I'll make sure the boys keep off your back. Hey, if you /are/ in with B-man, maybe it means he's lightening up a bit, and that'd be fun too." She giggles and shakes her head. "But I doubt that."

Scourge says, "Yep, name's Scourge the Hedgehog. 'Call' me sometime if we haven't ended up as enemies and we can have some thing like...I dunno, drinks and dynamite?"

Harley_Quinn giggles. "I like the way you think. Just don't go hittin' all the good targets before we get a swing at 'em. Mistah J doesn't like to play the follow-up act." She says it jovially enough, but there is a slight warning in the tone. Less 'threatening' and more 'no seriously I'm saying this for your own good', but it's there!

Scourge is making his way off to look around the park as he waves over his shoulder. "Eh, I don't have any real motivation to get off my ass and attack anything juuuuuust yet, so we shouldn't have much problem there. If I get TOO bored, that might change, but yer boss just might keep things interesting enough."

The Usual Restaurant

You walk into a well lighted room, it's high ceilings lit by dozens of fluorescent
lamps hanging from the ceiling. To the south and west are windows, which you would
normally expect to see the outside world from, but looking out of them, you see
only a misty gray haze. On the walls to the north and the east of the inn are an
eclectic collection of paintings, photographs and even holographs of many cheap
1970's to 1980's B-movies. The bar on the east side is made out of hardwood, it's
surface polished and shiny. Behind the bar, the various beverages that are served
here are kept in relatively neat containers on wooden shelves. There is a large
stage in one of the corners of the restaurant with a impressive sound system and a
few microphones strung about it. Multiple round wood tables are in this room, near
the north wall, is a double swing door that leads to the kitchen. On the east wall
is a door leading to the UR's dance club and on the west one leading to the Gym.
To the south, is the exit to the outside. A recent addition to the UR is a large
fireplace against the west wall, it matches well to the rest of the restaurant
and looks like it should have been there all along.

Sitting alone in the UR, the young Eva Pilot, is ... consuming, a meal consisting
of precisely ordered amounts of defatted cream cheese, crackers and orange juice.
She looks pale and blank. Wait a minute, Rei always looks pale and blank. Today
she looks more so. Rei is seated at the bar.

Violet steps into the restaurant with a slight yawn as she approaches the bar.
She pauses halfway there, blinking at the sight of Rei at the bar. With a light
sigh, she deflates just a little and approaches, sitting in a seat two away from
her to give the Eva pilot some space, but still easily close enough for conversation.
"...You're gonna get a lot of unwanted looks with that getup, Miss Ayanami."

Rei pauses mid-bite, puts her morsel down and turns empty handed to examine the
person who just addressed her. There is a pause, as if she is evaluating the need
for a reply. "I have already noted the problem." another pause. a slight narrowing
of the eyes as yet another stranger takes liberty with her name. "Identify yourself."

Violet
Long green hair contrasts with the red in her uniform. She's wearing a jacket
with a pattern on it like a red vest with white shoulders. The jacket goes all
the way down to her thighs, and is held close to her waist by a black belt,
which has two holsters for her blasters. There are markings on the upper arms
marking her as a Lieutennant Commander. Under the jacket she wears long black
pants, all the way down to end over her black boots. She seems fairly young,
at the oldest in the early twenties, but more likely in her late teens, and has
a relatively thin, athletic build. If forced, she'll have on her red beret, but
most likely she won't have that on.

Violet frowns slightly, recognizing the look of distaste. "Lieutennant Commander
Violet Karrde. Uhhhh... I guess you don't recognize my voice at all, do you?"
She glances away with a terse sigh. . o O ( Well, at least she can use personal
pronouns. ) She then looks back to Rei with a shrug. "Can't say I blame you,
to be honest. Not like I really did anything, in the end."

Rei nods, more an internal expression 'information noted'. "Against the Angel.
The...Gundam?...pilot." the human file cabinet shuffles a few more files. "NeoTokyo
Space Defense Fleet", Her final nod can be taken as a polite greeting. She then
proceeds to pop a precise amount of cracker and cheese into her mouth and chew
stolidly.

Violet raises an eyebrow and nods. "Let me guess: You figured that out from
the 'didn't do anything' part more than anything else." She sighs and shakes
her head before turning to the bartender to order a club sandwich and orange soda.
She mutters something about women acting like robots under her breath, then shakes her head again. "So if you've noted the problem... why?"

The blue haired girl remains largely expressionless, then decides to offer a
correction "I recognize authority." then appears to think some more before answering
the question. "It is not an urgent concern..." there is a pause "I have seen the
internet." Rei grows, if possible, more pale.

Violet tilts her head and grabs her soda as it arrives, raising an eyebrow at the
announcement of seeing the internet. "Well... Good?" She doesn't seem to get
why seeing the internet is a thing worth talking about. It's the worsening expression
on Rei that finally gets it to click with her. "Wait.. you didn't... Google
yourself, did you? Please tell me you had safe search on..."

Now there is a blush on Ayanami's cheeks and her expression can only be described
as utter befuddlement mixed with a healthy dose of mortification. "No." is her only
answers. Two more precise doses of crackers and cheese are rapidly consumed.

Violet groans and facepalms. "Oh, dear god. There should be like a pamphlet or
something for people that show up here... and the first words should be 'Do not
Google yourself without safe search on.'" She sighs again, shaking her head for
a moment before looking up again. "You gonna be okay?"

Rei eats some more precision portions of her dinner before answering. "It's not
a problem." again a pause. "However, I am... Disappointed."

Violet blinks. "Disappointed? What, that they keep getting something wrong about
you, or just in the fandom or humanity in general? Because you're gonna have to
get used to the fact that some of the more obsessive types can make up stuff that's..."
She frowns slightly, trying to come up with the right word. "Scary," is what she
settles for.

Rei shakes her head. "I am not frightened. I find it...distasteful." She eats
some more cheese and crackers and washed it down with her first swig of orange
juice. "The NTSDF will need help against the Angels."

Violet nods, assuming Rei just didn't delve deep enough to find the scary stuff.
Like the guys that claim that a pillow with her likeness is their wife. "W-well,
uh, yeah, I guess. I mean... The whole... AT field is kinda impenetrable
except for you guys.... and apparently Artanis... So yeah, we can't really
do... anything against them, as I proved." She then sighs again, leaning
forward almost far enough to nearly hit her head against her sandwich as it
is placed in front of her.

Rei nods thoughtfully. "A particle beam energized with all the power of Japan
can penetrate an AT-Field. Perhaps larger ships in the fleet might have some effect."

Violet grabs half the sandwich(it came cut in half!) and munches on it as she
raises an eyebrow at that line of thought. "I'll have to see how that compares
to Asgardian tech. Maybe Phoenix can penetrate an AT-field with an orbital
strike." She actually sounds serious at that. "But then again, if my XO can
just jump at an Angel and... somehow cut into it, an orbital strike seems...
excessive."

Rei says, "I am unfamiliar with your executive officer."

Violet munches on another bite of her sandwhich and swallows before replying,
"Do you remember the guy that... jumped at the angel? He wasn't human, has
energy blades over his hands on his armor? That's Artanis, who is now my
XO on Phoenix. Not... really sure why his blades worked, to be honest."
She shrugs to emphasize the point.

Rei says, "perhaps they were pure expressions of his will."

Violet looks upward, chewing on her thoughts as she chews a bite of her sandwich.
"Well, I think he called them 'psi-blades' at one point, so... I guess
that kinda makes sense?"

Rei says, "The AT Field is an artifact of Self. It is the ultimate barrier
against the other."

Violet shakes her head. "Yeah, I... saw the show, it just..." She sighs,
her shoulders drooping as she does so. "Only about half of it made any sense to me. The main thing I got about AT fields was... 'We need Evas to penetrate them.'"

Rei shakes her head. "In theory, all that is needed is an another AT Field."

Violet says, "Well, yeah, but the EVAs could do it, and pretty much nothing
else could make one strong enough or something?" She groans slightly.
"Can we talk about something else? As far as I'm able to do, my only tactics
are 'Send Artanis in' and 'Shoot at it with Asgardian tech guns from orbit.'"

Rei nods. "What do you wish to talk about?" she eats some more of her dinner.
working though the square on the plate in efficient rows.

Violet says, "I..." She pauses and frowns, then points to Rei. "...How
about why you're out eating in your, what was it callled, plugsuit?"

Rei ponders. "I need sustenance." She answers finally. as if that told the whole
story.

Violet's left eye twitches. "No, I mean..." She suddenly drops her face
into her palms. "Oh, god, it's like talking to Killer Bee again." She looks
up again, a look of exasperation on her. "Plugsuit. Why?"

Rei looks down and tugs at her plugsuit. "At the moment I have no other
clothing."

Violet's left eye twitches. "You've been here... how many weeks?
Haven't they payed you anything yet? I mean... I assume if your EVA
is on base, you're doing work for the NTSDF, right?"

Rei says, "At the moment I appear to be. 'freeloading'." After a pause
she adds. "I have acquired some currency though."

Violet says, "Yeah, Rei, first thing you need is... clothes. Maybe
a hat or new hairstyle so you can avoid the fanboys." She shakes her
head. "Once again, I am glad I'm from here instead of from a TV show."

Rei says, "I shall purchase some." she nods "That has already been decided."

Violet says drily, "I'd do that before going out to eat away from the
barracks' mess hall. Really, I know I've been known to wear skimpy
clothes from time to time, but you look like you might as well have
painted that suit on."

Rei finishes up her dinner and notes "It is vacuum sealed to maximize
plug connectivity"

Violet frowns. "I'd feel more exposed in that than in my halter top."
She pops the last of her own sandwich into her mouth.

Rei nods "It has not concerned me. However I shall purchase more clothing".
She pauses then looks over at Violet. "I do not know where to purchase clothes.

Violet nods. "Right." She downs the last of her drink, then looks around.
She seems to ponder for a moment, then says, "Well, I've nothing better to
do tonight. Need help?"

Rei ponders appropriate responses "Please?"

Rei get's up and nods politely to Violet as she also puts money on the bar.

Violet blinks and pauses a moment before laughing as she puts her own money
down. "Somehow, that actually surprised me. Sure, I can help ya out."
She stands up with a bit of a grin. "I suppose a bus trip to the mall is in order?"

Rei shakes her head. "I have transportation. I found it in the badlands."

Violet blinks and raises an eyebrow. "Alright, then, you drive?" Rei looks a little young to be driving to Violet, but.... Hey, it's NeoTokyo. As such, she shrugs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Center of NeoTokyo

Here you are in the epicenter of the insanity lovingly known as NeoTokyo
and right in what seems to be the center lies the mysterious wonder known as
Tokyo Tower, now seeming to have found it's way as an epicenter in this
altered world. From here you can go in many directions to various streets
and homes and wherever you may want to go. The area oddly enough seems to
give off an odd aura from every direction.

Vehicles: JASDF Jeep
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeep Cabin(#14504R)
The inside of a military jeep. Very spartan but there's room (Barely) for 6,
as long as the back four don't mind an experience like a cross between riding
the back of a pickup truck and being compressed into a sardine can.

Rei starts the shot up and battered jeep with grinding of gears and a lurch
forward. But she takes it from there smoothly enough.

Violet says, "Wow... This thing has seen better days... I certainly can
believe you found it in the badlands..."

Rei says, "It has full functionality." as she navigates traffic.

Rei drives JASDF Jeep to The Boardwalk.

Rei drives JASDF Jeep to North Seaside Road.

Rei drives JASDF Jeep to Gingakei Mall: Parking Lot.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gingakei Mall: Parking Lot
A black sea of asphalt stretches before you, the wide expanse of the Gingakei
Mall parking lot. Bright yellow lines painted on the cement separate the parking
spaces of differing sizes. Beyond the parking lot looms the enormous Gingakei
Mall itself, the entire front made of tinted glass that reflects the outside
world. Within, you can dimly make out civilians strolling through the large mall,
usually a greater population on the weekends.

Rei pulls into the Mall parking lot with a little more grinding gears and fender
rub on a concrete pylon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gingakei Mall: Floor 1
A wide promenade stretches before you, the floor tiled with thick blocks of
dark grey stone. The promenade stretches in each direction of the compass,
the north and south reserved for the entraceways whilest the east and west lead
to the main areas of the mall. At the center of this compass is a magnificent
fountain carved from smooth ebony stone, polished til it practically glows.
Cool, clear water bubbles up from spouts within the fountain, sprinkling a light
shower into the "moat" around it.

Rei looks around the Mall, obviously overtaken by the number of choices.

Violet winces slightly. "I still think you might need to have a few... formal
driving lessons. I've never driven a manual myself, but I think you're going
to kill your clutch the way you're driving..." As they enter the mall, Violet
looks around with a slight frown. "Okay... so we need to first figure out...
what general kinds of clothing do you want to wear?"

Rei looks blank. "want?" she pauses "This requires thought"

Violet laughs a bit into a facepalm as Rei attempts to figure out what kind
of style she might want. "Let's start with the basics... conservative,
trendy, casual, or... skimpy?"

Rei arches an eyebrow. "conservative." She reconsiders "Perhaps casual"

Rei says, "Previously I wore what was ordered by school."

Violet says, "Eheh... Yeah, let's not go with the school look..."
She looks around, debating to herself what store to attempt. In the end,
she decides on the large department store! Casual and conservative should
be easy to find there, right? "Okay, let's go to Upton's, and we'll see
what strikes you as we walk around a bit, okay?" She then frowns again.
"Or do you want me to just point you at some more specific things?"

Rei looks blank. "I have never... shopped."

Violet facepalms again. "Nggyyyr..." She takes a moment before looking
up again. "Alright. So let's head in, and I'll... try to find something
that fits you." She pauses a moment, then clarifies herself. "Fits you in
a figurative manner. I'm sure we can find clothes your size."

Rei nods firmly "Affirmative"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upton's
Though not quite as high class as some of the other stores in the Gingakei Mall,
Upton's still has a wide variety of clothing for discount prices. Signs
everywhere proclaim items to be 10% - 50% off. Heavy metal carts loaded with
sweaters, dresses, shirts, and more on hangers are sometimes seen being wheeled
down the wide aisles of perfectly flat cream linoleum. Besides selling clothes,
the store also has a selection of shoes and a few other similar wares.

Rei enters the store, and looks about. Clearly overwhelmed by her choices.

Violet says, "Okay, so... this isn't exactly the most stylish of places, but..." She glances at Rei. "I'm going to guess you don't particularly care about that." She keeps looking at Rei, then to racks, then back to Rei. Finally, she just sighs and shakes her head. "Screw it, I'm gonna wing it."

Rei follows looking uncertain. 'Screw it I'm going to wing it' not exactly words
to inspire confidence.

As Violet looks about the place, she picks up items, holds them up to Rei and
nods or shakes her head. One item in question is a relatively low cut white
V-neck T-shirt. "I know you said conservative, but I'm thinking this will go
really well with this vest..."

Rei reaches out and takes the items. "I assume I am to try them on?"

Violet nods. "But let's find some pants first, since... you don't have any..."
She pauses with a frown, then goes out to find a few pairs of jeans, returning
before too long. "Okay... Let's give this a shot, eh?" She now hands over the
pants to add to the bundle Rei is already carrying.

Rei looks around for a change room.

Violet stands outside the changing room, waiting on Rei to decide if she finds
it sufficient or not. Suddenly she just blinks, as if in surprise. "Why did I
get myself into this?"

Rei tries out the outfit. slipping out of her plug suit and putting the other
clothes on. After a short while, Rei is efficient, she comes out of the dressing
room.

Violet looks over Rei and offers her a smile. "Looks pretty decent, I think?
How's it fit?"

Rei shrugs and wriggles. She has a degree of grace when she chooses to apply
it. "The fit is adequate. and the look is...not a maid's uniform, or ... less.

Violet :tilts her head with a raised eyebrow. "Maid's uniform?" Then she
recalls an early part of their conversation, and facepalms. "Oh, right.
Yeah, let's get you some shoes to finish this off..."

Rei nods firmly "footwear would be comfortable." Rei isn't wearing any socks
aparantly.

Violet blinks as she looks down at Rei's feet. "And socks... Okay. You
really didn't have anything... uhhh... You had... underwear, right?"
Not waiting for the answer, she leads onward to the shoe section, which
thankfully has socks nearby! "Hrrrm... I'm thinking...." She finds a pair
of pointy toed boots with a low, wide heel. "What do you think?"

Rei obediently tries the boots on. with socks. guess that's a sale already
made. She refrains from comment about her underwear or lack of it under
the skin tight suit.

Violet says, "Well... Like I said... Looks good to me? It certainly
beats walking around in a plugsuit everywhere..." She walks around,
looking at Rei from various angles, then in the end... Shrugs. "How do
you like it?"

Rei turns around in front of the mirror and shrugs uncertainly. "It is
adequate. It is not something that the internet suggests I should wear."

Rei says, "Perhaps I should purchase it. If I find it deficient in some
way I can always buy more."

Violet scrunches her lips to one side. "....That's a good thing, right?
The not what the internet puts you in part?" She then nods to Rei's
thoughts on buying more. "Right. Hopefully this gets you started on
finding your own style?"

Rei nods firmly and heads for the sales counter. pausing to grab purse
at random to add to the sale.

Rei(#13120PBC)
Pale blue hair cropped in an untidy 'page boy' is probably the first thing
you notice about this quiet young woman. Next might her eyes.They're red,
not bloodshot, the iris is nearly crimson. The heart shaped face has a
snub nose and a pale pale complexion. You imagine from her habitually
serious expression that she is older than she looks, Which would be
early teens judging from her height and a little older judging from her
feminine contours.

Rei is dress casually. Pointy toed boots with low heels cover her feet
while boot cut blue jeans cover most of the boots. Her shirt is a simple
white tee with a low v-necked bodice. Also covering her top is a simple brown vest.
