Class of heroes

[Zorolo]

Zorlo looked at the ship and his face turned stern. "What in the world would I use any of that ship for. I mean, it looks like we're going to the damn Dagoba system," Zorlo complained as he looked at Yuno. "As for that... I like your enthusiasm, but I'm remiss to let a duel I have to win be ended by an outsider. Still, if you're so intent, you can try to steal the kill. We could even make a game of it," Zorlo joked at he looked at Nephilim and somewhat felt a bit of uneasiness about her.

"I'd forgotten... Nephilim... you have an aversion to death and murder... don't you?" Zorlo asked, looking somewhat sad. "Are you sure you wish to join us on this endeavor. I have no doubt it's going to be a potentially bloody affair..." Zorlo said sadly as he looked at Nephilim.

[Kaori]

"Zorlo Has a point miss nephilim, if you dont wish to take any lives then maybe you could just use healing magic to support us, and as for your question, M.A.U stands for Mobile Armoured Unit, think of it as a robot of sorts" Replied James.

[Zorolo]

"Dagoba!" Zorlo wrung up with a chuckle. "And... er... I hate to... express this fact... but Nephilim is somewhat... er... well, not very good with healing magic. Her capacity for destruction is second-to-none, but she can't heal on her own very well. Perhaps... it would be best if you remained here," Zorlo said as he rested his hand on her head. "After all, you shouldn't need to sell out your own principles because you wish to help... I fear that the trauma of killing another may be... a bit much for you right now," Zorlo said, looking quite sadly at her.

[nekoryuuha]

"Zorlo..." Nephilim looked down for a moment before taking a deep and nodding. "I'll go," she replied with determination before smiling like she always does. "If I don't go, I'll be too worried about everyone to wait and probably end up following anyways," she replied nodding to everyone. "Thank you for your concerns though. But I'll be alright. I may not be a good healer, but I've got a strong defense and outside Gensokyo, my attacks are second to none!" she declared confidently before thinking of something. "And... I did learn one healing spell... but I'll need Zorlo to help out it see if I've got it. You don't mind helping me, right Zorlo?"

[GamerKale]

The cultists ran past Trafalgar's hiding place and he sprinted back to the cultists performing the ritual. Unfortunately he didn't make it back in time to save the other sacrifices, but the cultists were very distracted, so he was able to take them down without much of a fight. Of course, demons aren't very particular about how they get their blood so it was kind of Trafalgar's fault when it reared it's ugly head, and also his fault when it went back the way it had come.

He grabbed what looked like some important documents and the book the ritual leader had been spouting from, and burned up pretty much everything else. When the cultists that had chased Trafalgar got back they found the entire place in flames and Trafalgar was gone. He had gotten airborne with aide from the updraft from the fires. Once he got above the treeline it was a simple matter to figure out where the school was and flew back. It was the highest he had ever flown and would probably be the longest flight he had ever had.

[Kaori]

"I dont mind if you come along miss Nephilim, but lets hurry we're burning daylight here" aid the Inquisitor as they got on board and took off.

"Tell me when Mcleod arrives, I'll be checking on the troops for taint" Drogan said to Mira, "will do and could you get me a mug of recaff?" replied Mira, "sure just wait here" Drogan replied, it wasnt easy just putting up a summons James better know what he's doing....

[Zorolo]

Zorlo laughed. "Such impatience. I know we're in a rush, but we'll be fine," Zorlo said with a smile as he looked at James and Yuno. "After all, you two are teachers. If we fail... its your fault," Zorlo said joyfully as he looked at Nephilim. "Anyway, yes, I will help you in any way you need, as I promised you," ZOrlo said with a smile.

[GamerKale]

((Oh look, there goes the plot.))
Trafalgar noticed something coming towards him as he got close, a small airship. Looks like an inquisitor's ship, what with the guns and that insignia. They might need whatever this stuff is that I found. Trafalgar banked and dove to intercept the craft. He landed/crashed on top of it and knocked on the glass dome trying to get the attention of the occupants. Is that Master Yuno in armor? And the majority of my party. I guess the school already knows all about the cultists. How long was I asleep?

[Kaori]

"What the frak?!" yelled James as the drake slammed into the windshield of the airship, "what in the world are you doing out there Trafalgar?!" asked miss yuno to the drake although she doubt she heard him, "James could you open a hatch or something to let him in?" asked Yuno to James, with that James opened a side door meant for emergency exits and Trafalgar got in looking as though he's been through hell.

[GamerKale]

Trafalgar pulled the door shut behind him and slid down the wall breathing heavily. There was blood on the handle of the door he had pulled shut, but it was too dark to really see it. "Sorry if I missed any classes Master Yuno, I assume I did. I pulled an all nighter making this." He presented the sword to Miss Yuno, his hand left a bloody print on the sheathe. "Last thing I remember I was on my way to get a sheathe for that and fell asleep on the bus. When I woke up I was chained up by some cultists. Long story short, complications arose, ensued, were overcome. Sorry, it took me so long. What are we doing? Some sort of class?"

[Kaori]

"its about rescuing my adopted sister Seiko from those Imperial army bastards" said Yuno as she helped up the drake, "might want to correct that Yuno, a report just came in that the convoy transporting them was annihilated, reports are that Seiko and Vash are missing and the latter was involved in a scandal some years ago regarding heresy, I'm willing to bet that they're going off away from here so I took the liberty of organizing an expeditionary force, and what concerns me is WHAT to do with Seiko after we rescue her"said James.

[nekoryuuha]

"What do you mean, 'what to do with her'?" Nephilim asked as she paused in coming to check on Trafalgar for injuries. She could literally smell the blood on him. For probably the first time since school started, Nephilim looked at James and frowned. "I didn't think there was any doubt about what to do. We save her. Who ever did all this gets punished and/or dealt with, Seiko is reunited with Miss Yuno and her rest of her friends and family and is returned to school after any injuries she may has are healed. Why would be a need to deviate from that plan? Isn't that why you're doing this? Or do you honestly believe those lies that guy was spouting able Seiko being a Demon?" Nephilim finished, the feathers on her wings being to puff out in her annoyance. "Miss Yuno, you agree with me, right?"

[GamerKale]

"Seriously? I go to sleep for five minutes and all hell breaks loose. Also, there's no way Seiko could be a demon. I just killed one and it was nothing like her." He gave Nephilim a toothy grin. "Thanks Nephilim, that's feeling a lot better." Trafalgar faced the front of the ship again, "But the pilot's got a point. If the Imperial Army came after her once, they're going to come after her again and I don't think the what four? five? of us here would be able to stop them. Maybe if we had some dragons we could force them to make a deal, but unless we come up with some way to make them consider taking her by force to be too costly, they're just going to take her when we get back. By the way, do we have a plan to get her back, or are we improvising? I'm good either way, just curious."

[Zorolo]

Zorlo sat quietly against the wall and listened to the discussion ensue as he thought and thought. "To be honest, Trafalgar, James won't help us if those paladins return to get Seiko. He's one of them, and you know old people and their meaningless convictions to organizations that are internally corrupt but claim to support justice. Aside from that," Zorlo stated as he stood up, "IF they come, we kill them. And we keep killing them until they admit defeat. It is possible for a handful of warriors to stall a massive army, it just requires a ton of strategy... and we have Nephilim on our side. Her powers count for a good number of people," Zorlo said with a smile.

"As for escape," the green haired man said as he opened his wrist computer as the sphere of data appeared again and began mapping out the area for them, "my wrist communicator/super computer can help out with that... with a little bit of tweaking," Zorlo said as he closed the panel and the data sphere vanished. The Erdgeist laid against the wall and smiled. "For now though, recover your strength. THe dead aren't useful to us in this kind of battle."

[Kaori]

"whoever said the Inquisition supports justice?" Yuno told the rest sarcastically "they're simply around to investigate and if necessary, kill whoever they see as a threat, however the difference between us and them are the fact that they have the legal authority to do it, so I suggest we refrain from killing them unless we all wish to be exterminated" finished Yuno as she eyed James, "what Yuno says is true, kill an inquisitor and they'll probably perform an exterminatus in your location ASAP, and as for Seiko, well she wasnt psychic nor was she an erdgeist so that only leaves one thing left vulnerable to it and thats a demon, and all demon's can change their appearance but oddly enough she was almost too human, we're approaching hochland airbase, once I set this ariship down dont make me do something I'll have to regret" said James as they were touching down he opened the ramp and outside were armed soldiers and two inquisitors, "welcome to hochland James" said one which he identified as Mira, "preparations for the expeditionary assault are complete, we're ready to move out" said the other which was Drogan, "good I trust you'll allow me to bring my retinue along" he told them as the rest were disembarking off the ship, "if they can hold their own fine but you do know what the objectives are right?" said Drogan, "of course its search and rescue right?" replied James, however the two other Inquisitors were silent, then James realized that the vehicles and troops present were carrying flame weaponry, "search and retrieve" muttered James as they went inside a chimera troop transport, within minutes they were arriving near a familiar area, "recognize this place Mcleod? it was the very same spot where you used to live but now the cultists have set up encampments, we'll provide a frontal assault while the you and your retinue sneak past them, but be warned, we have orders to conduct an exterminatus if you dont hurry, as for seiko..... Do what you see fit, and may the emperor watch over you" finished Mira as they got off they saw the battle raging around them, while the army was busy fighting the cultists they made their way underground.....

"they come" thought Vash as he stepped onto the altar, "lord of change grant me transcendence!" he cried out as he began to change, no longer was he human no longer was he Vash "I am now... A Demon prince" he laughed as he went to meet the intruders....

"What the frak?!" yelled James as they saw the Demon prince Vash, he stood 7 meters tall and was of distorted flesh and armour.

[GamerKale]

During the ride, Trafalgar pulled out something else he had nicked from the cultists a C3. After a moment of fiddling with it his class changed to something called Shiv's Inheritor. He offered the sword he had forged to Nephillim, "Here, she's a tad small for me, and carries herself like a mage. You should take her. She's a very special sword, just ask her and she may surprise you. Amongst other things, if you ask her not to, she won't cut." It is a one handed double edged blade, similar to a Chinese jian. "And give her a good name, that way she'll only answer to you."

When they encountered Vash he readied his sword and flames ran down his arm onto the blade. Shiny, I like my new class already. "Master Yuno, go find Seiko. We can handle this." He tossed the greatsword to his left hand. "By the way guys, I'm actually a lefty." Lightning replaced the flames and crackled down the blade as Trafalgar charged Vash, preceded by a flaming ball of electricity shot from his mouth. That's new.

[Zorolo]

Zorlo laughed. "Who said you could help," Zorlo said as he cracked his neck. "I finished my modifications while we were talking on the plane. You can't shut me down anymore, mortal. Aside from that, I finished this," ZOrlo said as a black beam rifle appeared in his hand and the barrel extended slightly as he pointed it at Vash. "All of you get out of here. If I can't beat him with my enginuity, I'll defeat him with the special ability to my clan of Erdgeist. After all, he isn't the only harbinger of a supreme being here," Zorlo said as he smiled. "Nu System, deploy!" Zorlo said as the funnels extended into a wing and spread out, moving around Zorlo. "If you stay here, you'll all only get in my way... except Nephilim. So, if you aren't her, get out NOW!" Zorlo ordered as he smiled. "I have a bone to pick with this one."

[nekoryuuha]

"Thank you, Trafalgar," Nephilim replied as she accepted the sword and placed it on her belt. While she wasn't all that great in swordsmanship, she knew enough from her Brother to keep from accidentally hurting herself or others if her need to used one. Touching the handle, she could almost feel the sword's inner strength. It was ready to help when needed. So the name was too hard to decided. It more came to her that she thought of it....

As Trafalgar charged and Zorlo made ready, Nephilim winged up and back to give herself and the others room as she drew her new blade, Sakuya. She closed her eyes a moment as she decided to go with her weaker, but far more versatile, Stardust magics and readied her first attack, a spell circle appearing below her for a second. "Star Sign 'Luminous Strike'!" she called out as she fired a thick spread of strong, star-shaped bullets at the transformed Vash from Sakuya's tip.

[GamerKale]

"As long as you don't miss I'll be fine. Focus on hitting it, I'll worry about not getting hit." Trafalgar rolled between it's legs, and.struck Vash in the back to keep it's attention on not the guy with the huge gun.

[Kaori]

"are you sure it was a good idea to just let them deal with an immortal demonic being?" Yuno asked James, "I'm sure they can handle it, I just hope that Vash hasnt reached total ascension" replied James, "what would happen if he did?" asked Yuno, "he would be invulnerable" replied James worried, "then how do you kill demons?" asked Yuno once again, "you cant, you can simply banish them back to the warp and it'll take many years till they can return here" he replied, then he remembered something else, "if they can simply stun him long enough I can get a knight squad to come in here and have him sent to the warp" he added with that they left the group to fight Vash while they went to look for Seiko.

"So my life was a lie" thought a certain consciousness, "all of it wasnt real, I just want to wake up now, I just want this lie to end, please let me wake up from this dream" it repeated but the consciousness would have yet to awaken.

"Fool's I feel no pain for I am its deliverer!" yelled Vash as the groups attacks harmlessly bounced of his skin, "pathetic weapons and arrogant fools! I shall tear your heads off and turn your skulls into **** buckets for my servants!" he yelled as he fired his demonic firearm at them, "I AM INVINCIBLE!" he cackled in delight, no matter what attacks they performed it simply didnt seem to work....

"I want to wake up" it said again,"please, I just want to wake up".

"there she is!" exclaimed Yuno, seiko was still in uniform but was lying unconscious on some sort of altar, "dont touch her!" yelled James, "she's awakened but she's... Arguing with herself?" said James bewildered, he sensed she was doubting her existence as human or demon, whatever the case they could only watch as she lay there unconscious.

"why do you want to wake up?" another voice asked, "I want to go home" replied another, "what home? You never belonged anywhere" it replied, "I do I live with my sister Yuno Usui and I am a student of particus academy!" it snapped back, "my my you are a strange one..." said the other voice "you could just stay here with me forever, never worry about being hurt or about being lonely, I will always be with you" said the other voice, "then why dont you come with me?" said the other, "you might like it there" it added, the other voice agreed.
