Age of Strife

Halt's face is expressionless, "Just following orders, prisoner....we shall heal you quickly, and then you can answer my questions"
Halt nods to the guards, "Please go get a healer for me"
The guards leave quickly following the orders of their captain
Omega notices that Halt's right hand is bleeding quite severely
Halt turns back to Omega, and follows Omega's eyes to his injured hand, "Absorbing energy into my fists does not come without it's tolls, whilst I can punch harder and deal considerable damage to my enemy, I also take damage to my hands and knuckles....though higher ups, and the ones that control the lesser ones, don't care about that, they just see you as a force they can use, until it is extinguished, anyway....time to answer my questions...."

Halt rushes quickly to Omega's side, "Hang in there Omega, the healers are coming, I can't let you die, The superiors will not be pleased..."
Halt's hands glow and he quickly heals Omega's ribs, but not fully, Halt is not very skilled in healing, but Halt does enough to allow Omega's breathing to be easier
Halt has a sudden thought that perhaps Omega is faking this, but brushes it aside, he wouldn't injure himself this badly just to achieve his goal

Halt looks curious, "What two individuals?"
Halt hopes Omega's current state might cause a slip of the tongue
The healer arrives and Omega is soon healed, but needs time to recover
The healer salutes at Halt and leaves quickly with the soldiers who escorted him there

Jaheria steps up to Shard and Kassern "answer me these questions:
what do you know about removing the curse on the people of Lorden?
what do you know about defeating 'the beast'?
what are your weaknesses, and the weaknesses of the other 10? and the weakness of the the beast/Alpha.
what can you tell me about the city of three moons, Ember, and the city of bones that are of significant note, and/or are secrets they hold?"

Shard speaks, "The curse on Lorden, your scanners will come upon the answer, but by a small amount of blood from the golden eyed, it shall be broken, placed upon the crescent of the three moons, then the people shall be free"
Kassern answers the rest of the questions, "The City of three Moons is an ancient tribe, wizards they were, skilled in magic, the golden eyes are powerful...The City of Bones, was where the beast was born, he was called up from the depth of the world, to prey upon the living, and did so successfully...As for the weaknesses of the Twelve, some are very simple others quite peculiar, they are the methods in which we died as humans, Scylla our third member died from a deliberate explosion set by an uncle, so her weakness is explosions, she will die if caught in one, and stay dead...Erin our eighth member died from a pike being stabbed straight through her by her own brother, so the pike can kill Erin...Sol was from EdgeGate, and was fatally electrocuted on purpose by a friend, who wanted Sol's position in the work place, so being electrocuted will kill Sol.....Calkara our leader's weakness is...."
A loud screeching sound is heard, and Kassern and Shard fall unconscious, a voice speaks from Kassern, although it is not Kassern's voice it whispers, "Beware..."
They notice that Kassern's eyes are glowing a turquoise green in colour, the people in the room feel a presence pressing on their minds
Kassern's eyes stop glowing, and when they do Shard and Kassern vanish, teleported by the owner of the voice elsewhere

Adar staggers and collapses breathing heavily, his turquoise eyes cease glowing with power, and look strained
Adar trembles his vision a blur
Alix looks at Adar, "Adar!...what's wrong??"
Adar manages to whisper four words, "Forced...mind...to...intervene"

(does Lorden have three moons?)
Jaheria a little unerved reminds the soldiers to stay wary, and of the weaknesses they know of so far for each person, and to keep the Reliant scanning the city. she then brings up a huge map of the city and shows it the group "is there any where in particular that Shard may have been refuring to?" she examines for key features around the map.

Halt injured slightly but not much, swears "I should have expected some form of trap, I did but I knew not what sort of trap would occur"
Halt quickly contacts the ISA and Jaheria, suspecting that perhaps the information about Omega being in EdgeGate might be useful, he also asks about their own progress in reference to the curse so far

(Silence, Lorden doesn't have three moons, The city of Three Moons, is named because the great wizards who began the nation were called the three moons, each with a colour to match their temperament, blue, red and silver, the moons refer to people no actual moons)

(aside) I've been off for a while, we're in the city of the three moons, yeah?

The scanners suddenly all go black.
for those in the City of the Three Moons, all sound ceases.
Then everything returns to normal.
To the person who is wise, they realise a portal to the void was opened, and closed, in the centre of the city.
The Ascetic pretends to have had nothing to do with it.
But he no longer has the Voidthirster...

Jaheria recieves connection with Halt, and has a loud speaker conversation with him (the others can hear it). She thanks him for the information on omega, and tells him about what shard said. "Do you know anything that could help?" At that point the area goes briefly silent, and the scanners black out. Evelyn recalls this happening in ember (when lidless eye guy came), but doesnt know the cause of it... Yet.
*************
Some soldiers hear omega teleport into a nearby building and go to investigate.

(I really can't keep track any more)
(Sorry about this)

(aside)
HIKARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*tackles*
*hugs*

(Shall I summarise for you?)

(depends on who does it. you may want long, then a summary of that)
the soldiers creep forwared with guns raised, some of them have strange goggles, and of these soldiers, one notices Omega as he steps in!
"HALT! who goes there?!" he raises his gun, he presses somthing on the side of it (it will fire automatically if it detects a danger towards the wielder. IF it detects, it may recognise a projectile, but wont shoot at a creature with claws, unless the claws are in the process of swiping the wielder). one of the soldiers steps back and reports back to Jaheria that they have made contact with someone.
Jaheria notifies the rest of the group.

Anglachel mutters to herself
Jet talks with Arca
Arca seems a little distracted by something, and his thoughts or mind seems to keep wandering onto other things
Aerrow sharpens his sword
Del swoops down near where the soldiers are
Del waits just in case they need his help

Halt answers Jaheria, "I see no way of detaining that one...but be careful about your men/soldiers, this guy does not hesitate to kill"

as Omega leans up against his new cover, he notices that he has some scoulding hot wounds, with no bullets. some of soldier's guns automatically fired at the sight of the revolver rounds (its electronic, it would have detected). the Revolver rounds hit the soldiers, killing one of them as he is shot in the face. the rest dont get wounds that they cant recover from. and some of them get knocked back. the leader yells to retreat.
when the grenade goes into the air, two of the four automated guns fire, and it ends up imbeded in the wall next to Omega. (the other two ran out of juice. doing that many calculations for autofiring is expensive) when Omega relises, he has about a second or two left. the Soldiers by that point are scrambling through the door, and back up has already been called for by the soldier outside.

By the time the machine is ready, and he rolls out to start shooting (it wouldve taken a while to be fair), he is just in time to see a cruiser closing its doors as it takes off with the soldiers inside.
but before he can shoot, two fighters swoop past and drop two rockets onto the barrals, knocking the gun sideways. Omega can see a large number of cruisers and fighters closing in on his position.

Omega is idsorientated, as he goes momentarily deaf and bangs his head a number of time. he eventually relises that the tank was shot by somthing huge, and is now upside down surronded by heaps of buildings. he then hears a number of bangs, explosions, and the sound of rubble caving in on the tank, burying it further.
<<<<
the Reliant shoots it's capital ship gun, the huge firery shot hits the tank side on, and sends it spinning left through a large number of buildings causing major damage, ripping most of the tank up as it is (its a capital ship gun. it was designed to fight of capital ships, so dont complain. it wont be firing again for at least 30 ish seconds). when it eventually settled, having gone through a few buildings, it settles upside down in the near centre of one.
fighters and cruisers the blow up the roof, and surronding walls, caving it in.
