Log:Chrissie, Scene 3

Chrissie 2007/10/25 	 Variable Jennifer and Jessica Rebound Heavy Metal Princess Akeno Hg'awrk and his androids 3

Windswept Point

It's getting late in the afternoon now, the shadow of the long grass lengthening across the sand.

Jessica says, "We ought to stay back out of sight."

Chrissie nods. "How far back?"

Chrissie changes shape to look like Jennifer. Seems only fair. :)

Rebound blinks.

Jessica says, "Not so far that I can't get forward to help if needed. Right, how about over there. Down behind the sand-dune."

HMP makes her way to the meeting under the board walk to stay out of sight

Chrissie nods and crouches down behind the dune.

ooc The boards are laid flat on the sand. There is no underneath.

HMP walks up from behind coming a few moments later then the rest since she had to change. she said in a quite voice, "Hey there"

Chrissie jumps nervously and looks at the newcomer. "What are you doing here?"

Jessica says, "Get down."

Jennifer walks on towards the point.

There are a couple of large men hanging about near the designated meeting point, standing about and chatting. They look up as Jennifer approaches.

HMP smiles, "next time you want to have meeting with no one listen on do it in a place that not public"

Rebound is lying on his back down on a dune, so that he's completely hidden from the rendezvoud point. "Wha... Hey... you're the Princess, right?"

Chrissie says, "Ohmygod how many people overheard?!"

Jessica says, "Only one. The Gym is a shielded building. We have SWAT, FBI, and military people training there. It's secure."

Jennifer looks at the two figures waiting on the point, and glances down to see how deep their feet are in the sane compared to her own.

HMP laughs, "then how did I know about this little tea party" She think (It going drive them crazy trying to know how. She ca see all the extra sheilding and bug sweeping after this)

Chrissie looks really worried now.

Rebound whispers. "We can sort that out later..."

"So, you came," says one of the guys.

HMP nods and whispers, "This is your party I here in case things go bad"

Jessica nods, looks at HMP. "Chrissie has enough to worry about without having to fear who might have been listening in. Do you tell her or shall I? Oh, and those two big guys. They are too heavy for humans. Their feet are inches deep in the sand."

Jennifer nods looking sullen.

One takes a step towards Jennifer. Then pauses. The other seems to freeze up too. Then they each raise an arm toward Jennifer.

Jennifer steps back slowly for her, shaking her head. Trying to mumble and throwing in a sob or to to disguise the difference in voice she says, "I'm here so let my mother go,"

HMP Nods, "go tell her if you want." She then looks out and frowns under her helmet, "I have a feeling something bad about to happen"

And both men flicker to robot form and fire at Jenn. "Foolish girl!" says one, as they shoot - and loudly, not to Jennifer. "Didn't I tell you to come alone?"

Two concentric force bubbles form, but Jennifer is outside them!

Jessica says, "Wait. I'll.. I mean Jenn will let them bubble her and then we'll see what they do."

The robots make another attempt to capture Jennifer.

Two more bubbles form - this time with Jennifer inside. The robot speaks again. "I have your friend. Now. Are you going to be a sensible girl and come out, or do I have to hurt her?

Jennifer says, "She didn't trust you. She didn't think you'd let her mother go. Since I don't see her mother here she was right not to trust you wasn't she. Take me to her mother and I'll tell her to come to you. That's what we agreed."

The robot looks back at Jennifer. "She was told to come alone. She broke the agreement."

No entry for 'second robot starts walking toward the dune where people are hiding.'.

The second robot starts walking roughly toward the dune where people are hiding, though not before reassuming human guise.

Jennifer says, "You said her mother would be released but she isn;t here to be released. You broke the agreement also. So let's start again. You have me. Take me to where her mother is and then she'll come to you."

Rebound sits tight for now.

"I think not. NOt till I know how many others are here."

Akeno suddenly appears, right behind the second robot and reaches to tap it on the shoulder. "Just me. Speaking of which, which one of you happens to have my PDA and gave me the headache?"

An energy blast misses Akeno. Akeno's pretty sure it's the same one as knocked him out before.

Akeno moves to the side almost as if he were dancing. "Cool it, robot. I'm with her." He motions at Jennifer. "And I just want my PDA back for the moment. Where is the girl's mother?"

HMP stands where she kneeling and pulls out her sword as she chargest forward. She swings her sword as hard as she can with little effect

The second robot says, in the same voice, "Come out, little Shifter. And tell your friends to stand down. Last chance."

Jessica says, "Why doesn't anyone ever stick to a plan? Okay, let's take the robots down. Don't damage them if you can avoid it."

Chrissie trembles visibly behind the dune.

Rebound says, "Right. Let's do it."

HMP frowns at how though they are turns to face to metal foe once more and raise he sword and swings it hard letting out a war cry.

The robot, with a huge gash in its side, goes flying back about 10 metres and hits the sand. And isn't moving.

"Very well. So be it," says the remaining robot. And the large sand dune - the one Akeno walked right by before - begins to shift. And rise And as the sand falls off, there is a spaceship, of a classic flying saucer variety, getting steadily higher. "I am sorry it had to come to this, little shifter, but I told you not to get others involved. Now they will pay for your folly."

Rebound stumbles backwards, looking up at the spaceship. o O ( $^&!@ )

HMP cruse at the sight of the ship, "It don't matter if I break you first. Tin man"

Akeno disappears again suddenly as the spaceship rises upwards. Akeno reappears on top of the spaceship, crouched down as he begins searching it seems.

Jennifer strikes hard at the force bubbles.

Rebound looks to Jess and thumbs towards the saucer. "Need a lift?"

Jessica breaks into a full sprint towards the alien ship.

The robot fires on the rapidly-approach Jessica.

A force field beam project by the robot tries to cut into Jessica.

Jessica is knocked over by the blast but rolls back to her feet.

Rebound springs! into the air, trying to land on saucer.

Rebound leaps into the air for the saucer. It appears that he's going to fall short, but he reaches for the craft with a stretched out arms and manages to pull himself on board. He looks to Akeno and shouts, "Can you open a hole in the hull?"

Chrissie does shapeshift now, into an appparent middle-aged jogger. She suspects not looking like herself has become a good thing.

HMP The ship does make her worry and she knows she has to end this before they can do any more harm. She smiles as she allows her eyes to go back to the wreckage of the first Robot she smashes, "There junk. Over size toys. You're going down tin man!" She turns to the other robot and smiles under her helmet. She turns on her scanner that fixed at the moment to a Heavy Metal station on the radio filling her helmet with loud music. She raises her sword and charges forward sword held ready for the strike. She let out a loud war cry the echo the screams of the singer in the music. She brings down her sword with all her might ageist the bubble.

It's a spaceship. Even its paintwork can take that.

Akeno winces as he shakes his hand after slamming a fist into the hull of the ship, "Ow..." He continues looking before he calls out, "Hey! Any ideas on where some place vulnerable is on this thing!?"

Jennifer throws up an arm to block the lethal sword blade as it slashes down at her, getting the sleeve of her jacket sliced with a trickle of blood starting to seep from the gash.

The spaceship flies up another 10 metres and then fires a beam from its underside, at the space between Jennifer and HMP and where Chrissie still is. Result: an area of the beach is now red-hot glass. "Last warning, little shifter. Next time I won't aim to miss."

Rebound scans the smooth upper surface of the ship. "Give me a sec." he says to Akeno. "We're standing on the sensor array..."

Jennifer runs towards Jessica is an angle that cuts down the distance to bot Jessica and the underside of the saucer, waits for a moment for Jessica to pull something out of a utility belt and fasten pads to her hands and feet. Then Jennifer reaches out with her energy whip at full stretch and lifts Jessica up to the saucer.

Jessica clings onto the underside of the saucer with the climbing pads and reaches back into the utility belt for a short thick rod. Extending a hand she places one end of the rod on the hatch and activates the sonic disruptor.

Rebound raises his fist and lowers it till it touches the skin of the craft in a practice strike. He raises his fist over his head again, and this time, when he brings it down, it's full force, with a fist shaped like a giant sledgehammer.

Chrissie isn't sure now - this is getting dangerous. Maybe she should give herself up?

Akeno begins checking for other vulnerable spots, then frowns and decides that Rebound has the right idea. Sensor array means how they see, so he brings his own fist back. Once Rebound strikes and hopefully gets out of the way, Akeno follows it up with a similar, hard strike.

HMP Steps back as the ships fires. She feels the heat of the hot sand/glass but don't mind it she has a job to do and she going to finish it, "You shut up now!" She charges forward given out the war cry as she swings her sword at the bot.

The blow hasn't gone through, but it's certainly trashed this sensor array, and has done structural damage.

The sword takes an 'ear' off and cuts deeply into the shoulder, right through the robot's armour. It also knocks it into the sea.

The spaceship abruptly flips itself upside-down, trying to throw off the evidently dangerous humans on the roof!

Akeno manages to hang on to the damaged sensor array and so still be set up for the Haymaker, if desired!

Jennifer also gets her climbing pads out and fits them on her hands and feet before pulling herself up with the energy whip to the side of the hatch outside the ring of energy projectors.

Jessica grips the sonic disruptor in her teeth for the moment, moves onto the hatch and punches one side to gauge its strength.

Jessica wonders after hitting it the first time if there was a 'open' button there. Probably not.

Rebound changes into flying squirrel mode. Lifted precariously by the thermal updraft created by the last energy blast, he floats up towards the cracked roof of the ship.

Rebound seems to get *partway* into the cracks....

The cracks Rebound started deepen....

Akeno hangs upside down now by the sensor array. He looks up and just switches plans. A loud *THUMP* is heard as the detective martial artist slams a fist into the hull. He quickly brings back his fist again to prepare to do the same once again.

The spaceship returns to the upright....

Akeno finally knocks a hole in the spaceship - big enough for Rebound to fall through!

Chrissie thinks. o O (They're doing it! They're getting in!)

Akeno makes his way into the ship through the hole he made, whistling back at the others once through before he takes to looking around inside the ship.

The interior of the spaceship consists mostly of open space with alcoves around the outside. On seeing the breach made by Rebound and Akeno, he growls and closes on the Akeno.

In another alcove is a woman in a force bubble. Surprise surprise.

The creature extends a 'sword' of force which seems not to do as much damage as you might expect. But colliding with the wall isn't nice.

He growls, "Get off my ship!"

Rebound says, "Now what's the magic word?"

Jessica applies the sonic disruptor to the same side of the hatch as she punched.

Jennifer moves through the hole made by Jessica and looks around for thing and aliens to hit.

Jennifer lashes a whip strike at the internal mechanism of the saucer's main weapon system. "You know if you.." *crunch* "... had handed Chrissie's mother over in the first place you would still have had a working spaceship.

Jennifer says, "Rebound, Akeno. This is a military vessel."

He swears as the weapon makes an unhealthy sound. "You ungrateful humans! You should be grateful I'm removing dangerous terrorists from your pathetic planet!"

Rebound snatches a loose hanging piece of the sensor array. He pulls back the dingus, using his thumb like the pocket of a sling. ".. It's 'Please'. That's the magic word. As in: 'Please Rebound, stop hitting me!'..."

He's sent flying across the ship but manages to regain his feet.

Rebound adds. "Besides... if you were official, Starguard would be here with you."

"Feh! Why should I share the bounty with human? *I* found them."

Rebound says, "'Get of my ship'..? Get off my planet!"

HMP walks over to the dune that Chrissie is hiding behind, "Hey how are you doing?"

Akeno moves forward, trying to aim the thing at the weapon console with a sharp kick. "Better yet, we'll make sure you leave."

Chrissie stares wonderingly at the obviously-on-autopilot ship. "They're winning!"

HMP nods and and looks at the ship, "look like it. I told you everything will be okay"

He hits the console hard enough to do some more damage.

Jennifer sighs overdramatically, "If you want him to leave the planet I suppose that means I can't trash the ship? You're taking what little fun there was right out of this."

Akeno tilts his head as he looks at the hard impact, then quirks a brow as he looks at the others, then looks at Jenn, "Well, no, but we can just hand him over to Starguard. How much you want to trash the ship?"

Jennifer says, "Well fair is fair. You and Rebound are bouncing him around. And I haven't trashed a spaceship before. It's a new experience. I mean I could live without it.> She grins, "But it would be fun."

He gets up. "This is my ship. My bounty. Mine." And we raises a wall of force between you and the weapon and ship controls.

Rebound looks to Akeno. "Can you take anyone with you when you do the wind zipping thing?"

Jennifer laughs and quickly assembles a Japanese style Katana blade. "You know Mr Y's ninja clan wouldn#t approve of this. Vibroblade. She slashes at the force wall.

Akeno shakes his head, "No. I can however get down there and catch someone." He looks at Chrissie's mom, "Can you get her out of that thing?"

Jessica enters through the hatch and also assembles a katana.

Rebound reaches out and tries to squeeze the bubble into collapsing.

The bubble 'pops'.

Akeno nods, hurrying over Chrissie's mom and pulling her towards the hatch. "Come on, ma'am. Time to go. And trust us, already. I'm with the Police Department."

Chrissie's mom is glad to go.

HMP smiles, "behind her helmet, "looks like mommy coming down"

"No! She's mine!" The alien dives into the pilot's seat and starts taking the spacecraft rapidly upwards. Maybe not such a good idea, what with the holes.

Jennifer flips open a panel on the weapon system and pokes a sword into the internals. "Oh this looks complicated. I bet it will take ages to repair. Especially after I find the automatic repair systems and put them out of action."

The weapon is now quite clearly severed from its controls.

Jennifer strides over to the alien and slashes at random into the control console. "I've got a couple of mini-chutes. We can get down with just a few bruises."

Akeno nods, "Then, let's crash this thing and go."

Rebound says, "Careful... we're still close to the city..."

Jennifer wiggles the sword inside the control console. "Or you could land us. Your choice really." she mentions to the alien in a casual tone of voice.

"You fool! What have you done?!"

Rebound slinks an arm around the mom and one around Akeno. "I've got you. Jump when you're ready."

The ship seems to be moving round even mroe erraticly that Jennifer's sword-wiggling.

Jennifer says, "I'm not a spaceship mechanic. I have no idea what I'm doing. I just love wrecking vehicles. All sorts of vehicles."

Akeno frowns. "Rebound, you sure?" He looks towards Jennifer, "We're leaving! Let's go!"

The alien is outraged and takes a swipe at Jennifer.

No one is flying the ship now. It's not clear if this makes a difference.

Jennifer and Jessica give the alien a grin, "Remember this. Next time I might get angry." and turning they run for the hatch and dive straight out. At this height they can get their parasail shutes working and glide down.

The alien appears not to escape, himself... The ship goes into a wild descent - not even a true spin, with the weird effects of the gravitic drive. It crashes - in the golf course of the country club (near the 13th hole). There's a big nobody-could-have-survived-that boom.

Jennifer watches the ship go down. "Oops." she says hanging under her chute. "That's one heck of a large bunker. Lucky it missed the Green." She not worried about the alien. His force field technology is easily good enough to protect him.

HMP frowns seeing the explosion and not sure if everyone made it off so she looks at Chrissie, "I got to see if everyone okay" she then runs to the crash.
