 AMANO-SENPAI! *jumps on Folken's back, trying to stop him from going after Amano* Hitomi-chan!! DO SOMETHING!!!
<<panic!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *eyes go huge as he sees the fire shooting at Allen* Oh no... *hurtles himself and Merle to the ground, hoping not to be incenerated* We've got other things to worry about than VAN, Merle!!
<<doesn't wanna die!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *wipes the side of his head, scowling* I don't recall there being a need for violence. However, I am well equiped to defend myself. *flexes his metal arm, then shoots the little needles out of his first two fingers* I didn't appreciate that. *flings his arm forward, trying to stab Amano's neck with the little needles*
<<still hearing the cat girls in the background...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *reaches the scene of the battle and sees Shesta flailing about, knocking into the WRONG people* Aw for crying out loud!! Shesta! C'mere! *yanks the arm of Shesta's guymelef and pulls him out of the way of the other dragonslayers* Whose side are you ON, anyway?? Get outta there! I know what your problem is. You need food.
<<babysitting Shesta??>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *while his scientists are hooking up and engaging the Enhancing Rod, stares through his NOSE to see what's happening on the flying fortress. is dismayed at all the damaged that had been done to the flying fortress.* oh well, can't be helped. this is a battle after all. *notices Naria plowing through the flying fortress.* why is she heading that way? the fight is behind her *is stunned to see Folken trapped inside the holding cell and being attacked by Amano. is equally shocked at seeing Dilandau starting burn the whole place. sadly shakes his head*
<<siiiiiigh>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Sees naria taking off. "No!!! Naria!!!! Wait!!! You're in your guymlef!!!! You'll bring the whole flying fortress down!!!!" Shakes his head. Sees dilandau powering up. what is he doing??? Sees the flames. "NO!! DILANDAU-SAMA!!!! STOP!!!!!!!"
<<bad idea dilly-boy>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *side steps all of Dilandau's blows while trying to avoid dryden and merle.* what's wrong with this manic?? doesn't he see there are two innocent lives just below our feet?? grrrrrr and what's wrong with dryden??? why did he bring merle here??? what happened to millerna and eries???? *scowls. sees dilandau powering up. gets ready. is shocked to see flames shooting at him!*
<<yikes!!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *grins wickedly and shoots his liquid metal at the Schezade* You won't get away from me, oh mighty knight of Asturia. *scowls at allen dodging the metal. shoots more as he draws his sword* Take this, *pivots* and this *parries* and this!!! *sees that allen dodges each swing and thrust of his sword* grrrrrrrr *powers up his flame thrower* See you dodge this!!!! *shoots out a wall of flame*
<<things are heating up!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *is very much alarmed by Folken's sudden silence* Sister!!! Something is wrong!!! Hurry!!! We must aid Folken-sama!!!! *turns her guymelf around and rushes towards the holding cell crashing through everything*
<<hold on Folken-sama!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *hugs Dryden back. sniffles. looks tearfully around. sees Dilandau and Allen as well as a whole mess of guymelfs. moves with Dryden as they dodge the Schezade* Dryden!!! *cries out in alarm* We can't go back to the Crusade!!! I haven't found Lord Van!!! *looks wildly about* LORD VAN!!!!
<<where's Van-sama???>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *sees Folken getting clobbered in the head* Oh No!! I can't take much of this! I know Folken is the bad guy here, but he's still my son. *flutters over Amano and tries to block the blow to Folken but it passes right through her.* oh dear, how am i going to help when i'm just a ghost?? *sees Van.* I'll go to Van. *flutters through the cell door right at Van.* oh dear, he won't see me either. *remembers the green energist* if i concentrate hard, *touches the energist.* Van! Van!!! Save your brother!!!!!
<<can you hear me????>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Ok! Let's get this show on the road! I wonder if that guy really worked for Folken...he was dressed funny..Oh well, no time to think about that. *hops into his guymelef and flys towards Dallet* Hmmm what havoc can I create...? *gets smacked into by Shesta and smoke starts to come out* GAahhhh!! You moron!! My Guymelef!
<<you are such an idiot!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Hai Dilandau-sama! *flys away from the Schezade and watches Allen and Dilandau fight* What am I doing?? I shouldn't be watching this. I should attack the others...*huge growling noise coming from his stomach* Ohhhh, but I'm so hungry! *smacks into Guimel's and Dallet's Guymelef*
<<ummm I can't fly well when I'm hungry...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *smiles at Jajuka's approach* Hello Jajuka! Looks like you have seen them! *hears Folken's voice on the comm* Yes Folken-sama? We hear you. *looks below at the crusade* Naria and I have spotted the crusade and it has King Aston's daughters on it...*pauses when he doesn't reply* Folken-sama? Folken-sama? Sister! I think something has happened to him! Should we go back and look?
<<what is happening to Folken-sama?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *gasps as Amano hits Folken in the side of the head* Amano-senpai...*runs over to Yukari* Yukari-chan are you ok? *looks back at Amano* Watch out Amano-senpai, he has a metal arm!
<<ummm this is getting really strange!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Uhh.... *looks around* We're rather out in the open, aren't we? Shouldn't we hide before someone.. unpleasant sees you? After all, you two are kinda important. heh, heh... Let's go hide! *scurries off*
<<a little too late>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *hugs Merle* It's okay, Merle. There aren't any headless bodies around here now. Don't worry... I'll get you back to the Crusade, safe and sound, okay? *walks back up on deck, and sees the fray of fighting* Oh, great! Just what I need... I get to manuver a crying kitten through a battle! *sighs deeply and starts to edge his way around the battle, almost getting squished by schezade* WATCH IT, ALLEN!
<<jeez!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Get your filthy hands off of Yukari! *sees that Folken got himself trapped inside the cell with them* You're gonna pay for locking us up! I KNOW it wasn't a mistake!! *punches Folken upside the head*
<<JERK!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Van! DANG IT! He's got the prince, and he's gonna get the girl with the pendant... *turns around and opens the cell again* One of you has the right pendant... *hears Nariya speaking over his comm* No time for THAT right now... *reaches out and yanks off Yukari's necklace, and shoves it in his pocket* Geez, I hope that was the right one! Nariya! Eriya! *stops talking when the door closes shut from the inside, trapping him inside with the people from earth*
<<uh oh...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *smiles as two of the scientists bring in the Enhancing Rod* Yes, yes. That will do. Now connect it!!!!
<<power, more power>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *tightens his grip on his sword* Dilandau!! Van, what is taking you so long??? *glares at Dilandau* I accept your challenge. Engarde!
<<let's fight dilly-boy>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Watches the challenge between Dilandau and the Schezade. Frowns when sees the Crusade. I think I'll fly over where Naria and Eriya are. Goes over beside the cat girls' and their guymelfs. Eyes widen when sees the princesses.
<<There are princesses here?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *flys on top and sees Gatti and Shesta fighting Schezade. snaps on his comm* LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!! *lands right in front of Allen* He's mine!!!
<<hee hee hee>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *powers up his guymelf and heads up to. sees Viole and Miguel fighting the Crusade's guymelfs and sees Shesta and Gatti fighting Schezade.* Hmmmm, looks like Shesta and Gatti have that situation under control. I think I'll go over and help Viole and Migue *starts throwing people everywhere while slashing wildly at guymelfs.*
<<yeeeehaaaaaa!!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stares dumbly as Chid is lifted by Escaflowne* V..a..*blinks as Yukari screams in her ears* Ouch..Yukari-chan, don't yell! That's Van! He's the friend I was talking about! *runs to the bars of the cell* VAN!!! I'M IN HERE!!
<<you came finally!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  What? Dryden isn't here anymore? Where did he go? Don't tell me he went to that fortress alone!! What if he gets hurt!! *the ship shakes a lot and falls down* Ouch...*gets up* Come on sister, Mr. Moleman, let's help him!! What was Dryden thinking? He's not Allen, he could get hurt!
<<worried about Dryden>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Heh, heh! You are doing a pretty good job there Miguel!! Here, lemme help you! *slamps more people in the wall* Maybe they should think twice before messing with Dilandau-sama's dragonslayers *flips his hair and flys up really high* Hmmm..are those Folken's cat girls? What are they doing?
<<having a bit of fun here!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Aaannnnnooooo....*wiggles a bit but reconizes Van's voice* Escaflowne! Van-sama! *smiles and points in the cell* Hitomi-san is in there! *looks over at Yukari* Don't worry Yukari-san, he's a friend!
<<glad you're here...kinda scared me though..>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh good!! Van is here!! *looks back a Folken* Don't worry my son. Van will save the children and he will save you too.
OOC: LOR: What were the names of Elrond's sons? Elladan and Elrohir.
<<Van!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You FOOLS!!! *snaps at the scientists* I need more power!!! *looks at one* Not that way!!!!! Hook it up to this!!!! *indicates a receiver to his left. grrrrr* Use the Enhancing Rod. *ignores their startled faces* DO IT!!!!
<<more power>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *grabs Dryden and starts to cry hard* Oh, *she sobs* there was..was...a...headless body! *wails* and i landed on it!!!!!
<<whaaaaaa>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ COWARD!!!! *he shouts after the running Escaflowne. looks at Jajuka.* See how he flees?? Van knows that he is no match for me!!! *glowers at Jajuka's suggestion* like i care if anyone else gets killed. *follows Jajuka up top looking for prey.*
<<who gives the orders around here?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *snaps on her comm* Folken-sama? Forgive the interruption but two of the princesses of Asturia are on the Crusade. What shall I do?
<<your orders?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *looks at Gumiel* I'm glad we got rid of the cat girl! She sure was scratching me pretty hard there. What??? Yes I know!!! YES!!! I"M GETTING TO MY GUYMELF...SHUT UP!!!!!!
<<darn these voices>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *is stunned to see the Escaflowne continue to crash through the flying fortress, destroying everything around him. looks at Dilandau* You did right, Dilandau-sama. The damage that would be caused by our guymelfs, especially down here, would cause more havoc than it's worth. The walls, floors and ceilings are crumbling down as we speak. I doubt that anyone could survive this. *comes closer to Dilandau* Dilandau-sama, you will get your chance to defeat the Escaflowne; but today isn't the day. Allen and his fighters are up top. Let's go get them!
<<Escaflowne ran away???>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *boards his Guymelf and jumps into the battle with Allen and his buddies from the Crusade* GET OFF OF OUR SHIP!! *starts whamming people into walls* Oops... I don't mean to be DAMAGING it... ^^;;
<<heh...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Wait just a minute!! *stands up and glares angrily as Folken and Chid leave* It was no mistake that I was put here!! They were going to slit... my... throat... *stops talking as she sees Escaflowne pick up Chid* AHHHHH!!! *points her finger and waves it as she shrieks* That boy!!! HELP HIM!!
<<gaaaahh!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *holds Merle under one arm and smirks as the dragonslayers run off* Hey little kitty. You're safe now! I just hope the same can be said for the princesses...
<<going back up!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *staggers forward from the blow Dilandau dealt him, then whirls around to face him* Dilandau... *sees Dilandau withdraw, then turns back and starts charging down the hallway again* I am NOT running away... I am NOT running away... I'm doing this to save Hitomi! *sees his brother and Chid leaving the cell* !! *reaches down a massive hand and picks up the boy* Chid-Ouji! Where's Hitomi?
<<got one of em!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ME? You want me to get scratched? *catches Merle as Dallet pushes her to him* Ok, don't hurt me...and I won't hurt you. Are you Folken's? *turns around and listens to Dryden* Folken sent you? Ok..here! *pushes Merle to Dryden* She's quite fiesty! *gasps* What are we doing down here? We have to help Dilandau-sama!!! *runs up the stairs*
<<aaahhh! Dilandau-sama! Don't kill us, cause we are late!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sighs as he watches Allen avoid Gatti's swing* Sigh...he's to good...and I'm sooo hungry!! *stares at Schezade and imagines it to be a big turkey* MMMmmmm turkey...*flys after Schezade and raises his sword* I'm going to eat you up!! HAHAAHHHAAA!!
<<delusional and hungry>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  There you are! You had us worried. *notices her sister's confused look* Dryden and I. But he has left. What were you doing with...*wrinkles her nose a bit* ...him anyway? *almost falls when the ship makes a sharp turn* This is getting dangerous. How long does Allen take to save Prince Chid and this girl?
<<who ever is steering the ship, stop making me fall!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hmmmm? *looks down at the Crusade and sees the princesses* You are right sister! They are the princesses of Asturia! I think you should call and tell Folken-sama. I'll stay here and watch the ship...
<<very interesting....>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *thinks about the green enegerist that Van suddenly has, the pendant and the encounter with Van's mother.* hmmmm, i wonder *snaps on his comm and calls for his scientists. waits impatiently as they arrive.* I want more power!!! Lots and lots of more power generating in my NOSE. Do it NOW!
<<i have an idea>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *glowers at Jajuka. curses softly and withdraws the liquid metal from Escaflowne* You have very good luck *snears at Van* too good of luck! Our dance always seems to get interrupted.
<<drat!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sister, look! On the Crusade! I believe that those girls are the daugters of the king of Asturia. What are they doing here? Maybe I should call Folken-sama?
<<uh oh...princesses!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Comes closer and sees Viole and Miguel scurrying away. "Forgive me Dilandau-sama," he says in a loud voice while looking at Van, "but I really believe that you and your sparring partner should take this someplace where it won't be as destructive?
<<concerned for safety>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *pivots just in time to dodge Gatti's swing.* okay Van, i got some of the dragon slayers distracted. i hope it'll give you enough time to rescue everyone.
<<keeps up the fight>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If it was a mistake, then I guess it is alright. *follows Folken out of the cell* But tell me, who is attacking you? Aren't we in Zaibach? Who would attack you in your own borders? I don't trust him..but what should I do?
<<sudden change of heart? Odd..>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *hears her sister call for her* I guess you are right. Well let's see what she wants. *doesn't wait for him to reply and drags him out of the shadows* Yes, sister? Here I am! I was chatting with Mr. Moleman here.
<<what do you want from me?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Man, Miguel can run fast! Geez, Dilandau-sama almost hit him too...he must be mad at him for some reason... *sees his guymelef* Well up I go! *hops in it and spots Shesta and Gatti fighting* Hmmmm looks like they need help!
<<Viole is here to help you guys!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *finally finds the two dragonslayers who are holding Merle* She's been captured! Better think of something quick... Hey! Excuse me, gentlemen! *walks in front of the dragonslayers* I was sent to take that cat girl off your hands. She is wanted elsewhere for... questioning. Please hand her over! Did that sound convincing?
<<something like that, anyway...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^  *attacks Allen from the other side to get his attention off of Shesta* Shesta can't fight well when he's hungry... He'll get himself killed! Jeez....
<<fighting allen>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *blinks in clear surprise* Prince Chid of Freid?? I... I give you my deepest aplogoies, your magisty. I was not informed that you had been taken prisoner. There must have been a grave error of some kind. *looks over at the two girls and the boy* The same goes for you. None of you have done anything to earn being jailed, and so I shall release you. I am afraid, however, that nothing can be done to return you to your proper places as of yet. You see, we are currently being attacked. Please, allow me to show you to someplace safe, and I give you my word to retrieve you when this is complete.
<<up to something>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *grins sheepishly at Millerna* Hey there, Princess! *hears people calling for her* Ah! I think you're wanted, your highness. *puts his head down slightly* Nobody cares whether I come or go?
<<despondant>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Ow!!! *looks at Guimel* I guess she's a cat girl like those that hang around Folken. OW!!! Hear, Guimel, you take her. She's hurting me!
<<you get scratched>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *kicks and scratches Dallet with all of her might trying to get free, but of no use. scared to look at her captor fearing he has no head* Please, *stammers out through tears* just let me go.
<<i'm scared to look>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh my, it's Folken. But...but he was with Van! *hears the rumbles* Van is on his way here. *flutters softly over to Folken, passing right through Prince Chid* Oh my son, I have given a message to your brother. He will save you from this madness that you suffer. Hold on my precious child, hold on.
OOC LOR: What was Tom Bombadil's wife name? Goldberry! *__*
<<a mother's love>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *watches Dryden leave* Millerna you better have not left the ship... *almost falls when the ship got hit* This isn't good... Millerna!! Millerna where are you?
<<We are in trouble and I can't find Millerna!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *knocks down one of the Crusades guymelefs* Sister! We must get them away from the fortress! It's not going to last like this!! *sees smoke coming from it* Don't worry Folken-sama, I won't fail you twice!
<<hey you weirdos, I'm over here!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh geez...I'm in for it now! Dilandau-sama called us a Moron... *sighs and almost runs into Dallet* Dallet! What are you doing? We need to get into our guymelefs...*pauses and stares at what Dallet has* Oh hello..what do you have here?
<<hmmmm>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees the mayhem unfolding* how can this be? my guards and my forces...they seemed to be almost like they're not there. why don't they fight? *sighs* all is lost. i will have to think of something else.
<<siiiigh>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Has jumped into his guymelf and sees Dilandau engaging in battle with Escaflowne. what is wrong with them? this is no place to fight. there isn't any room. they'll bring down the whole flying fortress about our heads killing everyone including the girl from the mystic moon! Sighs.
<<what shall i do?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes sister, I see them. *flies towards Crusade's guymelfs, baring claws.*
<<you're messing with the GIRLS boys!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh great...Dilandau-sama called me a moron. *runs for his guymelf* This is all Viole's and Miguel's fault. *bumps into a screaming cat girl.* Uh? *picks her up by the scruff of her neck.* Who are you?
<<uh?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *watches as Van disappears. turns to Folken but he quickly disappeared to. turns towards Dialandu but, alas, Allen is too slow for he has disappeared to. sees both Shesta and Gatti* Ah ha! *dodges the liquid metal* Enemies I can fight!
<<Engarde Shesta!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There is Allen, Gatti!! Let's double team up and take him on!! *flys over to Schezade and shoots his liquid metal towards him* Yes...if I capture you, Dilandau-sama will surely like me!! No more slapping for Shesta!!
<<Allen, you are going to be mine!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Are you Folken of Zaibach? I demand a reason why you have put me and my friends in your holding cell! I thought the Dutchy of Fried and Zaibach are allies. *frowns at Folken looking over him and over to Hitomi and Yukari behind him* Folken? Are you listening to me? *stamps his foot for emphasis* I'm losing my patience here!
<<grrrr...don't ignore the prince!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *quickly shuffles to cover the crack Amano has widened up* Oh great Folken is here...but what does he want? *watches Chid go up to Folken* Ummm Chid-ouji...*hears Varie's voice* Thank goodness Van is on his way!! Um, could you distract Folken..if it isn't to much trouble? *hears a familiar shriek* Merle? It couldn't be...
<<Oi...this is getting to weird for me...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *curses quietly* This isn't going as it should. I suppose I should get the pendant from the girl before Van finds her. *walks inside a hallway and takes the stairs down to the brig area of the ship* Why on earth are there so many people in that cell? Excuse me. *looking at one of the guards at the holding cell* I'll get the pendant. Unlock the door. *the guard unlocks the door and lets Folken in* Hm. There appears to be more than one girl from the mystic moon, and they're both wearing necklaces. Which one has the right pendant?
<<huh?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *presses himself flat against the wall as Dilandau's liquid metal almost hits him* AHHH!! Is Dilandau-sama trying to KILL me?? Y... Yes sir! *runs off in the OPPOSITE direction*
<<don't hurt me!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ siiigh.. very well, Princess Eries. *hops off the merchant ship, and off the Crusade to find himself on the Floating fortress* Hmmm.. guymelefs over there, destruction over here... *hears a faint shrieking coming from one direction* I'll go that way! *takes off running*
<<unnoticed?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *smiles and touches the pendant again.* Hitomi?? I think that's your name. Van is on his way to rescue you and the other children. Don't worry.
OOC: LOR: Galadriel's husband is Celeborn, King of Lothlorien.
<<comforting Hitomi>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stumbles when the flying fortress starts shaking (presumbably from Van crashing through the floors)...ends up falling down a dark hole.* AAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE *lands on something soft. looks and sees the headless doppleganger. screams at the top of her lungs and takes of running.*
<<AAAIIIIIEEEEEEEE>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *chases the Escaflowne.* RUN! YOU COWARD!!! BUT YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME!!!!! *shoots more of his liquid metal and hits the Escaflowne full in the back.* Now what you're going to do Van? Hmmmm? *notices Viole, Guimel, Dallet and Miguel.* Get into your guymelfs you MORONS!!!!! FIGHT!!!!!!
<<sheesh...i'm surrounded by fools!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Boy you are clumbsy Guimel! *watches him get up and say it was the stair* Sureeee it was! *continues to go up the stairs behind Miguel* Guimel, hurry up!! Is he just as dumb as Dallet? *runs smack into Miguel* Uh...sorry Miguel...*sees Van* Huh?? Van!
<<I spot the enemy here...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *nods her head at Naria and follows her* Folken-sama we are on our way! *hops into her guymelef and flys towards Folken* Folken-sama! Are you ok? *sees some guymelefs from the Crusade coming towards them* Come on sister! Let's get rid of these things...*flys off towards them*
<<into battle we go!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees Dryden and rushes over to him* Dryden, I just saw that young kitten on the flying fortress! *blinks when watch he was just yelling about sinks in* You don't know where my sister is? *looks about* Don't worry about her. I'll find her...you go and rescue that kitten!
<<millerna, you are in trouble now...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *hears all kinds of alarms going off on the Crusade and seals off the doors on his merchant ship* What in the? What happened to the princesses?? *looks around and sees Eries* Princess Millerna! Where are you??? *searches around in frustration for his fiancee*
<<not a good time to be hiding!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *doesn't react when Allen knocks him down, and can only stare in a blank shock* Mother... what can I do? What can I do to set things right? !! *leaps up, almost knocking over Schazarede* ALLEN! Stall for some time! I know where Hitomi is! *goes crashing about through the flying fortress, creating his own way down* Hitomiiii! I'm coming!
<<off!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees Escaflowne's energist turn green* What is this? *smiles at Dilandau's attack; but is disappointed at Allen's move.* You got lucky that time, Allen of Asturia. But your luck is about to run out! As we speak, my forces are attacking the Crusade as well as about to meet you and Escaflowne. But just in case you and young Van manage to get by my forces, I must get the pendant; even if I don't get the girl. *snaps on his comm and addresses the guards by the holding cell* Get that girl from the Mystic Moon. I want one of you to sieze the pendant she is wearing. Then by ANY MEANS possible, BRING IT TO ME!!!!
<<determined to get the pendant>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees Van's energist go from pink to green* Uh? What's going on? Why doesn't he answer me? Van? *glares at Folken as he clutches his sword tightly* What have you done to him? *hears evil laughter behind him. turns around to see liquid metal about to pierce both him and Van. doesn't have time to swing. leaps out of the way taking Van with him. both land in a heap on the deck. jumps back up.* Dilandau!
<<so, dilly-boy is here, eh?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *is terrified at the huge hands now grabbing her. looks at one and bites hard. is dropped. runs as fast as her legs can carry. doesn't pay any attention of where she's going. just knows the guards are after her.*
<<yikes!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *hears Dornkirk's call for the troops* Sister! Folken-sama is under attack! *throws Merle in a little bundle at a guard* Watch her! *runs to her guymelf.*
<<hold on Folken-sama! I'm coming!!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *has jumped into his guymelf and reaches the top. stops in surprise* Escaflowne??? *grins wickedly* Ah this is going to be so much fun. Both Escaflowne and the Schezade are here? *aims his liquid metal from both arms and shoots at the backs of both Allen and Van*
<<heee heeee heeeee>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *scowls at the arrival of Allen and the crusade* What horrible timing. I know I was close to getting Van to understand me! *sees Van's energist change color to an emerald green* That can't be good. I need to get our forces out here. *pulls out his comm and contacts Dornkirk* Dornkirk-sama, I'm afraid there is some trouble on board the fortress. Allen and his crusade have landed on the ship. Van and Escaflowne are here as well. I will order the dragonslayers to defend the ship immediately.
<<NOW he'll talk to dornkirk...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sighs and runs off with the others* Guess we'll just have to trick Dallet later. But I wonder what's going on? I hope nothing has happened to Dilandau-sama!!
<<off to his guymelef!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Perhaps we could find a way to break the crack bigger? *looks around the cell for a pole or something* Perhaps... perhaps that will work! *picks up a rusty bar and goes over to the crack in the wall* I'm gonna try and enarge the crack enough so we can fit through! *starts whamming the pole into the wall, fighting the dizziness from his head*
<<maybe I can get it...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hmmm that is a small hole Yukari-chan, but we could try...*tries to squeeze through, but doesn't fit* Ummm...I can't fit. Maybe you can Chid-ouji...but then again, it might not be safe on the other side. I wouldn't feel right about putting you in danger. *grabs her pendant and feels Varie's prensence* Varie! You are back! Did you reach Van?
<<I can't fit..>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Well there goes Allen. *stares out the window* Hope everything will be ok. *looks out another window and sees some familiar pink hair on the flying fortress* Is..that..*squints* Oh no!! It is!! Merle is over there!! *looks around for Dryden and Millerna* Where did they go? I need to tell them about Merle! *runs off*
<<gah!! how did Merle get there?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes sir! We will be on our way!! *runs up the stairs* Allen is here? Where did he come from? And I wonder what special thing Dilandau-sama wanted Dallet to do...? Oh well, it doesn't matter now. *trips over a stair* Owwww...oops. *gets up and retains compsure* What is up with that broken step??
<<off to battle!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Runs down the hall and sees Viole and Miguel talking with Dallet and Guimel. "Get to your guymelfs! We are under attack by Allen of Asturia! HURRY you fools! Dilandau-sama needs you on top! GO!!!!
<<stop your nonsense and help dilandau-sama>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh Van, my precious son, you can hear me. *sighs* Please son, please listen to me. Your brother has been brain-washed. I know it will be hard to forgive him for all the evil he has done, but truly it wasn't his fault. He knows not what he does. Please Van, you must be the strong one. You must stop this madness before it goes too far. Faneilia has been destroyed, but it can also be rebuilt. I love you, Van and I love Folken. I have something for you. *hands Van a green energist.* This one is made up of my love for you, your brother, your father, and all the people of Faneilia. It is very powerful and can only be used by those who try to do what is right. It will aid you. There are children being held captive two floors directly below you. They need you. *smiles* Remember son, I am counting on you to save Gaea and I'm depending on you to save your brother. *reaches out and gently touches his cheek* I love you my son. *slowly disappears back to Hitomi*
OOC: Our LOR fact: Who was the hobbit Samwise fell in love with and eventually married? Rose *__*
<<loves her sons>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Those horrible people in armour said I was a spy! They were going to slit my throat. *shakes head and tries to regain composure* Ne, Hitomi-chan, what's that? *goes over to a large crack in the wall* Hey, maybe we could get out through here?
<<kinda small tho...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stands perfectly still, staring blankly* M... mother...? *blinks and looks wildly about* Where are you? Are you there??
<<dallet ain't the only one who hears voices!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hmmm I gotta shake Dryden... *sees a shadow* Oh..what is that? *whispers very softly* Hello..*walks in the shadow when Dryden isn't looking* Moleman?
<<what do we have here?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Uhhh...yes sir! *salutes Jajuka and runs out* Why?? Why does Dilandau-sama always hit me?? I didn't even do anything that time!! He must hate me or something. Well if I defeat Allen...then, he will have to like me better! *runs up to where his guymelef is parked* I'm going to follow you out Gatti! *hops in and gets it started*
<<oh, the pain, the pain!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *hears Hitomi* Yes, young girl. I will try to get a message to Van. *closes eyes as she clasps the pendant. brings image of Van to her mind. opens eyes.* Van! Oh Van! It's me! Your mother! Can you hear me?
<<Van??>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees the situation with Folken. hollers into his comm* DILANDAU!!!! Where are you?? Get to Folken NOW!!!!
<<hey, where are my fighting forces??>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *looks at Van* Glad that you're okay. When I saw Escaflowne crashing...*pauses and turns to Folken* You might as well tell us what you've done with Prince Chid and Hitomi. You're all alone here, so you have no choice. *turns to Van* If he remains quiet, then I will go searching for them. *turns back to Folken while still talking to Van* I know you can keep him busy.
<<Good to see you Van!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *grins* Yes, dear sister. I think she'll make an excellent gift for Folken-sama. *sees the kitten fighting as if she was fighting for her life* Shhhh, calm down little one, *purrs* Folken-sama LOVES cats! He'll take care of you!! *eyes grow big with excitement* Say, dear sister, do you think he might let us keep her?
<<don't worry, we'll take care of you>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh no, this isn't good. *struggles, but gives up when realizes it is useless.* Take me to Foken!!! OH NO!!!! *starts struggling again.*
<<Oh Lord Van, I have failed you!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees the exchange between Dilandau, Gatti and Shesta. says nothing as Dilandau rushes out the door. turns to Gatti and Shesta.* WHAT ARE YOU TWO WAITING FOR??? Dilandau-sama needs us! GO to your guymelfs and help him! *rushes out to find the other dragon slayers.*
<<don't just stand there, rubbing your sore faces>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dilandau-sama asked for me to do something? *puffs out chest* SEE what happens when you do a GOOD job??? You get singled-out by Dilandau-sama!
<<I DID A GOOD JOB!!!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *glowers at Gatti* Do you have cotton in your EARS!!! *slaps Gatti. turns to Shesta.* Allen and the Crusade are here! *slaps Shesta* I want you and Gatti to get to your guymelfs! *backhands Shesta* And FOLLOW ME! *slaps Shesta again!*
<<going after Allen>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *flings open the door where he heard the horrible screams, and sees Dilandau barking orders at Jajuka* D... Dilandau-sama? ... Jajuka? I know the screaming came from in here, but I don't see anyone but these two!!
<<huh?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *is lurking in the shadows, spying on Millerna* Perhaps I can help the princess in her desire to escape this ship and go help. Hmmm... what can I do? *scrambles about in the darkness and waits for his chance*
<<being creepy!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *grins as he looks straight at Dallet* There's a horrible mess down there. Since you did such a GOOD job, Dilandau-sama wants you to clean it up. *smirks*
<<being mean!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stares at Folken for a long moment, but is broken out of it by Allen's arrival* Allen... *glares furiously at Folken* You think Zaibach is going to SAVE humanity?? You're the ones causing all the pain and suffering! Nothing you can say can justify you burning our homeland!! *turns and hops back into Escaflowne and stands by Allen* I listened to you as I said I would! Now, WHERE'S Hitomi?
<<peeved>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sigh* That didn't work...but I could try to reach Van! I'm sure he is here!! *sees Yukari's and Amano's confused looks* He's my friend here, and he has a giant machine that could fly us outta of here! Ok, I'm going to contact him...Van? Van can you hear me?? *sees Varie's face* Van's mother?? Are you ok? Can you hear me?
<<Varie...? Help us get Van!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hi there Yukari-san! *smiles* Yes, I am the Prince of the Dutchy of Fried. I guess you guys know Hitomi-san huh? Now let's try to find away to get out of this cell. *walks over to the door and pulls at it* It's locked tight..and it looked so old too...
<<sigh..this isn't going to open...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I thought you might agree with that! *smirks* Shush..he's coming this way! *hears Dallet talking to Guimel* Psst, Miguel are you ready? *sees Dallet and Guimel around the corner* Ok, let's get this done with! *pops out infront of them* Hi there Dallet! Uh...Guimel! *smiles evily* Guess what Dilandau-sama wants you to do...heh, heh
<<hee, hee...we are very sneaky eh?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Why you are right!! It is a kitten. *looks at Merle with curious eyes* What shall we do with you dear? *touches Merle's cheek with her finger* My, my..you are a cute one. *looks back at Naria* Perhaps we should take her to Folken-sama? *watches Merle struggle* Hmmm, fiesty too...
<<where did you come from kitten girl?>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Smiles to himself when he sees Dilandau's eyes soften. Snaps to attention when Dilandau starts barking orders. "I will gather the dragon slayers, Dilandau-sama, and have them meet you ontop." Watches Dilandau run out. Sighs. well he's back to normal
<<kindof miss Celena>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes sister, I think you're right. *turns back towards her guymelf when something lands on her back. a quick as lightening regains her balance while grabbing whatever jumped on her. eyes grow big in shock* Look sister! A kitten!
<<meow??>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees Allen getting into Schezade* he's going to board the Flying Fortress. There's got to be a way for me to get aboard. Lord Van needs me! *watches Gaddes watch the Schezde leap aboard the Flying Fortress. Hears him ordering his men to get ready to fire weapons as the Crusade comes very close to the Flying Fortress side.* this is my chance! *runs with all of her might and leaps as soon as she reached the edge of the Cursade. Finds herself landing right on a startled cat woman.*
<<uh oh...misjudged>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *runs to Schezade and powers it up. sees Gaddes organizing the men into groups. waves his sword to indicate "good luck" to Gaddes. turns and jumps on board the flying fortress, landing close to Folken and Van* VAN! *holds his sword in combat position* We're here. Let's get Hitomi!
<<the hero has arrived.>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *looks through his NOSE and sees the Crusade. snaps on his comm so it will be heard by ALL* Flying Fortress! Guards! FORCES OF ZAIBACH!!!! The Crusade is right there! DON'T LET THEM GET THEIR HANDS ON THAT GIRL!!! I don't care what you have to do, but GET THAT GIRL TO ME!!!!
<<drat...more help for hitomi!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *smiles at Guimel.* We've both done good. *gives him a good natured slap on the back.* Maybe Dilandau-sama may promote us to be his righthand men! *cocks his head* what?? hey, it could happened. No! no! *sigh* just be quite okay? *looks at Guimel.* I say this calls for a celebration! Let's go to the kitchen.
<<celebration time...come on!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Psst, Naria...what do you suppose Folken-sama wants from that skinny boy? *looks at her guymelef* I don't trust him. Let's be quick about docking our melefs and when we return we should keep a good eye on that boy...
<<you are suspicious skinny boy...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yukari-chan!! Wow, this is unexpected!! Oh and Chid-ouji, I'm so sorry to meet you in this place. Same with all you guys!! *gives Yukari a quick hug* Unfortanetly we are in a holding cell...and I for one don't want to be here. *sighs and watches Guimel and Dallet walk away* We need to figure a way out. Then I could introduce you guys to Van...and tell you all about this place!! *clutches pendant* Van? Are you ok? Where are you? I'm in a holding cell with some of my friends and Chid-ouji...
<<sad place for a reunion!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *smirks at Millerna* Indeed, we should find the young cat girl. Please, follow me. *Walks a little ways forward, keeping an eye on Millerna* There's no way I'm gonna let her get herself killed for that brash playboy of a knight! She outta take his advice and stay with me.
<<siiiiigh>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stands with a dazed expression for a moment, then sees the child glomping Hitomi* HITOMI!! *runs over and does the same* You've been gone for so long! *sees Amano* Amano-senpai! You're here too?? *looks down at Chid* Uhh... My name is Yukari. Did... did you say you were a prince??
<<overwhelmed>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ well, i can't just float around here doing nothing. children's lives are at stake. *watches Hitomi greet the newcomers* seems, she's the key to everything. everyone knows her. i'll try to reach her again. i must get a message to van!
OOC: LOR: Who was Wormtongue? The evil man that tried to take over Rohan by telling Theoden he was too old to rule.
<<reaching for the pendant>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *eyes soften* I...I *looks down mystified at feeling guilty for hollering at Jajuka. sheathes his sword* My orders are...*stops to hear a guard yelling about the Crusade landing* The Crusade? *grins wickedly* My orders are for you to get the dragon slayers and meet me on top. *runs for his guymelf.* okay, if i can't play with van, i'll play with allen
<<heh heh heh>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stares at Eries dumbly* I..I don't know what you are talking about..*frowns* Drat, how did she and Allen know? I think we should go look for Merle, don't you? We don't want her to LEAVE do we? *runs out the door, but runs into Dryden* Ah..sorry..Dryden. I didn't mean to run into you..
<<hmphf...everyone is against me>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Allen is certainly right about Merle not being the only one to escape.. *puts her hand on Millerna's shoulder* Millerna, dear, if you really want to help Allen, I think it would be best if you stayed here. Besides, you can help Dryden and the others give the orders.
<<I can see right through you...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh hello there Dallet. *listens to Dallet's speech about doing a good job* Really? *gives him a broad grin and elbows him in the ribs* That's the way to get on Dilandau-sama's good side! *looks back in the cell and points at Yukari* See that girl? I caught her! She was a spy! Dilandau-sama was pleased with me too! Well he didn't say it...but hey, Dallet is kinda of slow... *smiles and pats his chest* I guess we are too good today eh?
<<I did a GOOD job too!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You big ogre!! *rubs his arm and gets up* Ouch...*sees Hitomi and a bunch of other people* Hitomi-san!! *runs up to her and glomps her* I'm so happy you aren't hurt!! Thank goodness *lets go of her and smiles and then looks at the other people* Hello. I'm Prince Chid, of the Dutchy of Fried. *bows polietly* Who might you be and do you have a plan on how to escape?
<<yay!! Hitomi is ok!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Looks amazed as Celena turns back into Dilandau. Sees the fear in his eyes as he rants and raves. Slowly rises to his feet. Notices that Dilandau has drawn his sword. Slowly bows. "Dilandau-sama, I meant no harm. I saw you enter this room and came in here to await your orders. What are your orders sir?"
<<trying to sooth dilly-boy>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees the glint in Millerna's eye* i know that look. she will try to follow me. *opens mouth when merle speaks and leaves the room* uh oh, if i know my kittens, and i know that one pretty well, she's also going to try to sneak on board the flying fortress. *looks at Gaddes, about to give some orders when one of his men rushes in informing him that they are close enough to the Flying Fortress to try and board her.* All right, *says rising...looks at Gaddes* Split up into groups. Have them distract the guards on the Flying Fortress. I will get into Schezade. Oh, get one of the men to keep an eye on Merle, she's trying to sneak onboard the Flying Fortress. *looks at Dryden* And Merle isn't the only one! *doesn't wait for a reply, but rushes out of the room*
<<ready or not, here i come>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *also looks innocently at both Allen and Dryden.* I think that's wise, *she says to Allen* I'm going to find the Moleman. *rises and leaves the planning room* hmphf, if allen thinks i'm staying behind, then he's in for a big surprise. it's my fault that Prince Chid was taken. I owe it to him to try and rescue him. *sighs* i also need to help my Lord Van!! *remembers Escaflowne crashing* Oh Van-sama, please, please be all right
<<sneaky little kitty>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *in her sexiest voice says,* Right away Folken-sama *saunters alluringly over to her guymelf to put it away.* oh Folken-sama, i just don't understand why you protect this boy. *notices that Van has his hand on the hilt of his sword. eyes narrow*
<<i'm watching you>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *suddenly screams again and clutches head. room spins and goes dark. sees Jajuka* What??? *looks around, notices he's sitting on the floor very close to him. narrow eyes* What is going on here JAJUKA!!!! *jumps to his feet, drawing his sword* I don't remember YOU coming in here! *head throbs a little* In fact, I don't remember much of anything!! *glares suspciously* WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!!!
<<dilly-boy is back!!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees the young girl and the young prince thrown into the cell...one after the other.* my goodness! what is this?? what kind of enemy kidnaps children??? *looks at Prince Chid* see how young this one is...no, this can't be folken's doing...he won't do such things...not to children.
Our LOR fact: Did you know that the next DVD of the Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship) comes out next month???? *hic*
<<no folken, this isn't you!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *notices that the Flying Fortress is almost at Ziabach. snaps on his comm.* Guards! The Flying Fortress is almost here. I want a complete regiment out there to meet it. I want you to bring me the girl, UNDERSTAND??? *looks back at the scene with Folken and Van* Also have Folken come to me immediately after the Flying Fortress docks. Take him by force if necessary!!!
<<all traitors will be dealt with...harshly!!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *runs into Guimel.* Hi Guimel! Guess what??? *puffs out his chest while holding up Prince Chid.* This is the prince Dutchy of Fried and I caught him! Dilandau-sama said that I did a GOOD job! *snorts and looks into the cell* Yeah, I can see that. *looks back at Guimel* There's a lot of people in here! *Pulls himself up to full height.* YOU GET BACK!!! *draws his sword and he drops Prince Chid on the floor. opens the cell and takes Prince Chid by the arm. throws him in and slams the door. relocks it. looks back at Guimel* Yup! Dilandau-sama praised ME !
<<i did a GOOD job...dilandau-sama SAID so>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *stands with his hand on the hilt of his sword, staring at Folken for a long time* I won't leave Escaflowne, *he says at last* I don't trust it here with you and the minions of Zaibach. You want to talk to me, do it here. What is he trying to pull??
<<mistrustful>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *nods at Allen* Don't worry. *looks over at the princesses and catches a mischevious gleam in Millerna's eye* Hmm... They will be safe with me. Although I suspect my dear fiance is plotting to follow after her "knight in shining armor".
<<jealous again!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *smirks at Viole* Yeah! Let's do that! Heh... It'll serve Dallet right for being so... *twitches* "annoying". Let's wait for him out in this hallway. He'll come by this way after he drops off the kid, right?
<<hee hee hee...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Put your guymelefs in the dock! *speaking loudly to the cat girls, then turns to Van* Van... I promise to take you to the girl. But first, I desire to speak with you. Come and walk with me. *steps aside and waits for Van's response, while keeping an eye on his kitties at the same time* Yes... Now must be the time for me to convince Van to join me! Together, we can help Dornkirk in his quest to end pain!
<<plotting>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Are you serious? *eyes widen* What if there is a doppelganger, trying to kill Dilandau-sama now? *dashes out of the kitchen* Come on!! We have to investigate!!
<<aaahh!! Dilandau-sama, be ok!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *pouts* Who does he think he is? Does he really think I'm going to stay here and wait? I don't think so. What if Hitomi and Van are hurt? What then? They need a doctor... *gives Allen a tense smile* You think you are going to leave me behind? No way...not this time!
<<I'm not staying here...>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh well indeed. Well let's go! There is no reason for us to stay down here for long. *starts walking up the stairs and side steps the doppleganger body* Ugh...wonder who is going to clean this up. *stops and gets a wicked grin* Ne, Miguel...you know Dallet is being really annoying right? Why don't we tell him that Dilandau-sama told us to tell him to clean this up? What do you say?
<<hmmmm, plotting!>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *takes the group including Gaddes and several of his men to the planning room.* Now then, *he says after everyone is situated* Here's the plan. Gaddes, you say that we are several minutes behind the Flying Fortress. Once we get close, I will board her in Schezade. You take the men. Split them into two groups and keep the guards busy. I will search for Hitomi, Van and Prince Chid. *looks at Dryden.* I am entrusting the safety of the princesses in your care. Watch over them. *looks at Merle. gives her a smile before turning back to Dryden.* I'm also asking you to keep an eye on our kitty here. Make sure she stays put too! We don't need for anyone else to get captured!
<<hey ladies...stay out of this!!! that means you too kitty cat>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *slowly slinks over to Eriya.* Are you sure you're okay? *glares at Van. Turns head and tilts it slightly to look alluring at Folken* I too, *she purrs* await your orders Folken-sama.
<<mmmmmmm, Folken-sama>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *sees Van surrending* what is this? Van is giving up? or is Folken joining forces with him? *notices the catwomen* ah...so this is were they went. *frowns* but they disobeyed me and Folken refuses to answer me. i will wait until i get that girl and her pendant. then i will decide what to do about Folken
<<don't like the silent treatment...i'm in charge you know>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "What?" Looks at Celena in surprise. "What did you just say?" Waits but the girl only goes back to playing with her fingers. Hmmmmm, she called me Allen. Some of her previous memories must be returning. Softly strokes her hair. Poor little thing. Torn away from your family, tortured unmercifully until you're twisted into..into Sighs and continues to cradle the girl.
<<I won't leave you Celena>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *gives the Moleman a disbelieving look* Of course you wanted to just look around. But I'm not staying with you. I'm going to help the others rescue Hitomi and Prince Chid. Besides that, Lord Van will need m |
