OoC @Furioso: Yeah, he just left. So I'll be picking up on the prison event too. Alright then.

Moving through the prison, the various prisoners had split up, mostly in groups of 20. One such group was following Envy, who moved down the main tunnel. "You do have a plan, right?" one of the prisoners following Envy asked.

Ardimas momentarily stopped his persuit to better listen to the footstepts that echoed through the tunnels in an effort to better locate the escapees. Although he couldn't tell precicely where the various escapees were over the cacophony of sounds, even with his sensitive hearing, it did gave him a better idea of who was where. He went north, following the noise that was loudest, and for that reason, likely closest to him. As he ran, he brought his hand to his ear.

Estalla. They've split up and are moving through the sewer system. Have a squad placed at every exit.

Acknoledged. Estella entered the prison after the soldiers who had entered earlier. "New orders! Move to manholes five and eight, cut them off there."

And then! *Poof. Time buble'd*

The attack connecting to the hover-tank it left deep gashes from with electrcity sparked.

Code:
Damage at 15%.
read a screen inside the tank. Scoffing, Astasis fired the main cannon at the golems, making short work of three of them. "Hahaha! At this rate, I'll be a general in no time!"

The missiles impacting against the building where the Xiphatian took cover, it took heavy damage. Three mages used shield magic to protect and their fellow soldiers. themselves from the falling debris.

Having recieved little to no cover as the broke off, the Xiphatian troops took four casulties from the Xiphatian fire. The golems that had survived the tank cannon shot advanced on the Legaian infantry. One golem unleashed a jet of flame from its hands, burning three soldiers while making others spread out more. The four other golems moved to surround the Legaians in an attempt to box them in.

Wordlessly, Athena instructed a squad of five soldiers to follow and cover her as she moved to another position. Once given the mark, they ran towards another building. Two soldiers kept up a moderately strongs barrier with their shield magic, while the two others cast fire spells at the Legaian infantry, this resulting in the deaths of two Legaian soldiers. The fith mage cast lightning spells at the nearest turrets, disableing two of them as they overloaded. Athena unleashed the power she had stored up at the tank, encasing the main cannon in ice. Before she and her squad reached cover, one mage was gunned down by turrets.

Even with the damage done by Yukino, the tank was still air-tight, making Nybeth's poison gas attack ineffective.

The Xiphatian soldiers that had managed to break of from the rest of their troops were now behind the tank. Savranth was amongst them.

Jessica looked up at the colorful explosion and a wide smile grew on her face. She gave an enthusiastic "Sure!" before asking, "So what do you want me to try and do? I can try and read your surface thoughts, or I could set up a mental link between the two of us so we could communicate by thinking."

She listened to Ness intently, seeming to take mental notes of what she said. After she was finished, she elaborated on what she had said before. "Well, no, not exactly. In my homeland, magic is actually a physical presence in the world. It stems more from the environment than people though. My people's biologists are almost certain that our Psionics are due to exposure to magical energy though, since the place we live is the most thickly magic-steeped area in the world, as far as we know, and we didn't have anything like them until we had been living there for several generations. Have people always had magical powers where you come from?"
[hr]

Having lost interest in the tank upon seeing that his poison cloud seemed to have no effect on the man inside, and not wishing to spend any more effort to kill just one man Nybeth focused his attention elsewhere. He located the largest grouping of Legaian soldiers within close proximity of each other and proceeded to conjure up another massive cloud of toxic fumes within their midst, then quickly moved to hide himself, as he knew precisely what gunfire could do to the human body.

Yukino hopped back as she saw the lack of damage she had done. Sh growls as she snaps her fingers and manages to open up 5 black holes. 3 of the shots go toward the turrets that shot at her, while 2 aim for the gashes that her scythe had made. She coughs up a bit of blood as the wounds on her leg got a little bit better over time, a lot slower than she was used to. [color=bb66bb] ...Shitshitshit... I couldn't... have hit my limit yet... right? [/color]

[hr]

Ness put her hand to her chin as she noted what Jessica was explaining. "I see... That's pretty interesting that the environment can affect so much. So does your ecosystem have some sort of 'magic cycle' where used magical energy can be naturally converted back using some sort of residue?"

She grins at Jessica as she says "I'd like to make a mental link! That's always been a bit of a dream of mine."

She paused a bit before answering Jessica's question. Her tone was a bit unsure. "On my world, people have been able to use magic for a long period. ...In fact, mostly any living being in my world can use magic, provided their soul network can generate enough SP to do so... but that's a bit of a tangent."

"There are still disagreements on what theory is the correct one for how the entirety of my world attained magic/the soul network. One is that we obtained it after our ancestors engaged in a nuclear war, and the radiation in the aftermath gave us this as a mutation in our genes. The other is that the nuclear war happened, nearly wiped out all existence, and a goddess by the name of Pheonix came and bestowed the genetic gift to us. She also supposedly rewinded the world to give us a second chance. There's evidence supporting both..."

Code:
Warning: Main cannon blocked.
A screen read in the tank. Astasis growled and locked on to the golems, firing the missile pods once more. "Die, stone abominations!" The missiles hit two golems, turning one to rubble, and damaging the other to such an extend, it couldn't fight any longer.

When a cluster of of six Legaian soldiers found themselves in the midst of a poisonous cloud, a majority of them held a hand over their mouths and noses as they moved away in a panicked hurry, trying their best to hold their breath. As they ran, one of the golems smashed a soldier into the ground with a fierce punch. Another golem brought forth bolts of lightning that killed two soldiers, and incapacitated another, making him drop to his feet, convulsing, and leaving him fully exposed to the poison gas.

With repeated fire, the Legaian soldiers brought down a golem at their rear and began to fall back, moving towards a better position. Two soldiers braved the toxic cloud to pull out the soldier who was struck by the lightning.

Being immobile targets, Yukino's dark energy projectiles destroyed the turrets they were going for. The two projectiles heading for the tank also hit, damaging it further.

Code:
Missile pod two: Offline. Damage at 26%
"Oh, come on!" Turning the tank around, Astasis scanned the area for targets, then fired at the general area where Yukino was with the remaining missile pod.

In a twist of fate, the wind blew the poison cloud Nibeth had conjured up towards the Xiphatian soldiers who had broken off from the main force. forcong them to hurriedly switch positions. The Legaian forced opened fire on them as the moved, killing four Xiphatian troops.

With the attention of the tank drawn away from them, the main Xiphatian force moved from cover and attacked the Legaian forces with fireballs and ice shards, this neutralising three Legaian soldiers.

From her position, Athena conjuring up a thick wall of ice closer to the tank and ordered her squad to advance to that location. Doing so and taking cover behind the wall, the Xiphatians attacked the tank, using earh magic to damage its underside.

The remaining two turrets tracked Nybeth and opened fire, both turrets firing lasers.

"Well, the 'magic cycle' as you put it is that magical energy tends to eventually return to its original form naturally. The majority of magic used is usually just the conjuring of different forms of energy for various effects. So once the effect is done with, the energy that was 'created' will convert back into magical energy." Jessica explained to Ness.

She tilted her head quizzicaly at Ness' explanation of magic from her world. "Your world has actual evidence supporting the existence of God-Like entities?" She replied, asking the question that was brimming at the top of her mind.

Nodding at Ness, she walked up closer to her until she was standing a few feet in front of her. "Okay, so, to form the mental link, I have to place my hands on your head....Is that okay?" she asked, sounding somewhat uneasy.
[hr]

Nybeth glanced out of cover to take stock of the situation. He noticed that the changing winds had caused his own poison cloud to end up killing some Xiphatians, but he didn't seem at all broken up about that fact. As he glanced out, one of the lasers fired by the turrets barely missed striking him in the head, though it was still close enough that the heat burned one side of his face. Hissing in pain, he cast Meteor Strike, bringing down large rocks from the sky down onto the turrets that were attacking him before slinking back into cover.

"We're not really alowed to hand out maps to civilians. To the west of here is a town where you could buy one, though." the soldier answered Hellosh.

OoC: My next post will be my last one for the day.

OoC: I'm going to assume Dot left.

Nybeth's Meteor Strike impacted with the wall on which the turrets were mounted, crumbling a section of the wall, destroying the turrets.

Being struck on its underside by spikes of hardened earth, the tank stopped hovering and dropped to the ground.
Code:
Anti-grav: Offline. Damage at 32%
Behind the two golems, the main Xiphatian force advanced further towards the Legaian infantry. Seeing how the battle was going, one Legaian soldier dropped his weapons and stepped forward, hands behind his head. "I surrender!" other Legaian soldiers looked at eachother. With the turrets and mechs destroyed, and two of their superiors having fled, they knew the battle was as good as lost. One by one, the dropped their weapons and surrendered.

"Surrender now, Astasis! You've lost!" Athena shouted from behind the ice barrier.

Looking over the status display of the tank, Astasis frowned. The tank was imobalised, most of its weapons were disabled, and it stood in a less-then-favorable position. The humming sound the tank's engine emitted stoped as it was shut down, Astasis begrudgingly admitting defeat. Opening the hatch, Astasis slowly left the tank, showing his hands first.
[hr]
Having calmed down somewhat after having spend time near Holadino without anything happening, Fafnir laid down, occasionally eyeing Holadino's livestock. Eventually, both Fafnir and Loki fell asleep.

OoC: Yay. Victory. The aftermath will be dealt with tomorow. I'm off to bed.

Hearing the sounds of battle die down, Nybeth cautiously glanced out of cover again. Seeing that nearly every threat was dealt with, Nybeth left cover, hiding the burn wounds on his face by pulling his turban down over it. Approaching one of the soldier he had fatally poisoned, who was laying on the ground, groaning in agony, he touched his walking stick to the man's chest and subtly cast Drain Heart. What little life the man had left flowed into Nybeth, reinvigorating him and healing the burns on his face. The man would now lie dead, looking no different than if the toxins in his blood had done him in, while Nybeth readjusted his turban, playing it off as though it had simply come loose and covered his face during the middle of battle.

@Dirty: Well Jessica is somewhere in Lakewest, I guess. Unfortunately she's in the middle of what I'm now assuming is a time-bubbled conversation since Dot seems to have nodded off or something like that. Also, I'm just gonna go to bed now. G'night!

Trilby sighed, walked back to the bench he had slept under the night before, and sat down.
Where the fuck did you wander off too, Shadow? he thought to himself.

"Maybe because he's nuttier than a squirrel's kitchen cupboards?" Trilby suggested. "Then again, I've done much, much worse, so I can't exactly talk."
