Kara: I’m just glad we pulled it off with our any issues.
******
Jorin: *she walks into the office and up to the front desk. The guards watch them but otherwise let them past* I guess we’re expected. *she looks at the clerk behind the desk* uh I’m Jorin krayt here to see the marshal I hope it’s ok that I brought a few friends.
Clerk: *he seems to be entering something into a console not even looking at them.* the lift in your right, top floor and down the hall. Have a nice day.
Jorin: oh um thanks. *she walks into the lift shrugging to the others* I guess they get pretty busy around here
******
Cass: oh you’re very much mistaken I’ve got nothing to lose. I could end you but you’d just come back like the cockroach you are. But I don’t come back so go ahead. Put a bullet thru my heart, or better yet let nexa kill the one she loves cuz I’m not going away this time and this only ends when you or me are dead for good. * her smile grows psychotic as she laughs*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: we did damn good and had a great time doing it *she calls for the Tepes to beam them up. Soon departing and doing the slingshot maneuver to return to the present*
*******
Freeman: *he follows along, looking around behind his helmet* it's government work. Nobody is really busy unless there's a war.
*******
Erin: did he tell you who he was or did he just remain quiet like when we talked to him? We had to pull a device that would have melted him. He wasn't meant to be taken alive I suppose.
*The man only admonished the Republic but didn't say much else*
(Full thing can happen when I return from boot camp. I'll have to go dark in a few hours. Just to be clear my characters are gonna exist. Don't disappear any of 'em while I'm gone. Erin is gonna remain on the Lexington until I return then she can have her ship back and we do the whole special thing with her and all that. As for Nick, Bri and the Tepes and her crew They'll be doing recon and busy. Not disappeared like others because I do intend to return. Keep this thread alive while I'm gone will you?)
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
*They arrive in the present with no trouble, though Bri receives a notification at some point that Temporal Investigations would like a report*
T'Lera: I guess now we meet up with Nick and T'Panne. *she looks happy, hoping to celebrate once reunited*
***
Rax: Probably depends, some are busier than others. It's a big planet, and a big galaxy. *He continues looking around at the inside, he never went in the interior of the Senate more than once in the past, but it has changed a bit compared to what little he remembers*
***
Seventeen: No, he only voiced his distaste for the republic. I'll have to do a more thorough questioning later hopefully when receive more word from the Republic.
***
Nexa: No, he won't. And you won't kill me, either because Val won't let you, or I'll stop you. Its the futility of it that makes you so angry, so spiteful. All this time you've lived and you weren't satisfied but now Val is. You could have that too if you could let go of all that hate. *There's a kindness to her voice, mixed with her defiance.* I don't know what you've been through, I've only lived several lifetimes and you've lived thousands.

Krystal: Honestly I'm not that optimistic about turning the guy around just from hearing that.
Bri: well we're already close to Vulcan. Back to the transporter room.... Again... *She ignores the message for now*
*The Tepes enters the Vulcan system and for the sake of time the characters are beamed down to meet captain O'Connor and T'Panne*
*******
Nick: The Tepes is back in our time. They'll be here shortly I'd hope
******
Freeman: *he enters the turbo lift with the others* why do I feel like this is gonna be a long ride.
*The scene fades for the turbo lift ride to continue on return from boot camp*
*******
Erin: So what exactly awaits him if he doesn't conform? You can't exactly let him go free to do whatever he would please, can you?

T'Panne: Good to see you all again. *she nods to the group as they reappear*
T'Lera: I was thinking maybe we could do a little celebration, it'd be nice.
***
Seventeen: The republic will figure it out I'm sure. Maybe he'll be returned to the Empire, or maybe he'll be kept a prisoner. *she holds her chin* It will depend on how things go.
***
Nexa: *She just watches her, seeming unafraid even with the pressure on her neck. The lights are very dim now, making the hall look almost abandoned. Even as Cass looks into her eyes, Nexa is just gone. Nothingness in her hand. Everything around them feels empty, like the entire crew of the ship vanished, and even the gentle hum of the ship running is muted.*
Kara: well a party needs food sooo… *she holds the sentence as if waiting for something* huh I coulda swore she’d pop u-
*as if on queue a short blonde woman with an eye patch on her left eye pops out of a portal next to kara*
Seras: did someone say party?
Kara: *chuckles* every time.
******
Cass: huh what little party trick is this? Pulling us into another dimension? You ganna try to bring up my worst nightmares? Did you forget that what you do to this body you do to her both physically and mentally we are two halves of the same coin you can’t hurt me with out hurting her.
Alucard: then we’ll just have to pull her out.
Cass: are you deaf? I just sai- *she’s interrupted by a solid punch from alucard that sends her stumbling backward* alright I guess we’re doing this then.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nick: I'm not gonna question it. So it all went well?
Bri: Very well. *She smiles and waves to seras* party down here on Vulcan in the heat or we going back up?
*******
Erin: *she nods slowly* very well... I should probably go eat. Reina, would you be a dear and lead me back to the quarters? We can make something for lunch together.

T'Panne: Here is a fine place if you do not mind the climate.
***
Reina: That sounds great. *she gives a wave to Seventeen then takes Erin's hand, offering to lead her home* We'll see you all later.
***
Nexa: *speaking from what feels like all around.* I told you I would stop you if she couldn't. I'll follow Alucard's lead here, We'll just have to pull Val out.
kara: yeah, is this the first time you've met her? and here works i dont mind the heat.
seras: *waves to bri* i look for any excuse to cook for my kids
lythe: thats your mother?... is appearing out of nowhere a common occurrence with your family?
kara: pretty much.
******
cass: ive been fighting for over ten thousand years you have nothing on me! *she gets into an odd looking stance calling vals chainsword in one hand and her bolt pistol in the other.* but by all means try me.
alucard: hmm this may be a problem. *he holsters his silver pistol calling forth his own sword, he charges in and the two start trading blows most being blocked, each of them trying to gauge the others strength as they fight*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nick: Well then serve up the food then we can head back home, right now it's party time!
Bri: *she smiles and leans into Kara*
*The group fades out as they begin the party. Afterwards they'll return to the Tepes. Bri will resume her duties as first officer and the Tepes will return to base at K-13.
*******
Erin: you can come too admiral. I think we would both enjoy it if you did. *She gives a flirty wink before Reina leads her away, this scene fading out too. Krystal can get one more in if she goes to join.*
(And with that, I'm off. See you after boot. Love you all. Don't let this thread die.)

Krystal: Wish I could but the paperwork is stacking up... again... *sighs and looks at one before throwing the PADD across the room* AGAIN WITH THE POINTLESS GEOLOGICAL REPORTS!? ITS GRANITE! WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT GRANITE?! WHY GIVE ME A 200 PAGE REPORT ON GRANITE?!
Cass: *smirks* nice try there, Kara has a very distinct presence and never hides it. You’re ganna have to try harder then that. *as they fight it’s clear that alucard is out matched by cass, already suffering significant damage* I thought this would be fun but you’re just boring me….
Alucard: *breaths heavily as he reattaches his arm* sorry to disappoint….
*it’s difficult to tell currently if Val is there or not or if she even heard what nexa said*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
*Nexa pauses, having a different idea... feeling something gnawing at her for a moment before giving in and letting herself channel the feelings of another. The room chills, becoming colder as frost covers the walls and a familiar voice is heard again, that same demonic distortion...*
Dark Val: *Her presence is felt again, its ethereal since she was slain before* After everything you went through and did to me... you're letting this... b**** get the better of you? Threaten what's precious? Stand up and show her why you're better. *the voice starts becoming angrier* Show her why you're better than that, show her the fire that burned away the frost of hell. Show her why you'll never be me!
*alucard looks like he's sustained sever damage even for a vampire, he falls to one knee as cass kicks him into a wall.*
cass: of all the trash you could have pulled from the gutter you choose this one? really? *she looks around with an annoyed expression, suddenly she drops her bolt pistol as her arm begins to shake and her hand spasms* damnit... im. in. control now.... *she stares at the flailing arm with a vacant expression. blood trailing down her nose.*
alucard: come on kid dont let her win......
*they stand silently for awhile, until something pulses into the spasming arm*
cass: *suddenly rips off her arm at the elbow and throws it away grunting* goodbye valendria. *she says with a wicked smile as her arm regenerates and the discarded arm turns to ash*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *she whispers to Val* Keep fighting, I'll help however I can. My strength is yours. *If Val can't muster up something else she might have to resort to more drastic measures but she still believes in her*
Dark Val: If it means kicking that c***'s a** then you can take whatever I have left, I know you want me erased.
*a flame sputters to life slowly growing in intensity, after a moment it envelopes the area in a blazing inferno, nexa can send they’re somewhere else entirely.*
Cass: figures…
*from the burning walls Val shambles thru a single blood shot red eye staring wide eyed at cass thru the long strands of hair that cover her face she holds her hand out calling forth an odd looking sword tinted red in one hand and a blue one in the other*
Val: this ends here. And when I’m done with you I’m wiping that stain of myself from the fabric of reality! *her tone is wobbly and unhinged as she shake with unrestrained fury*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *she remains in her less than solid state just in case Cass tries anything, but her presence is rooting for Val watching the two of them closely* Don't let your anger consume you... but kick her butt!
*she does check on Alucard though he may not see it, inspecting the damage to him.*
*Dark Val stays quiet, seeming satisfied finally atleast for the moment*
*the two lunge at each other blocking and trading blows, carving flesh and painting the ground with each others blood. its difficult to tell how long the two were hacking at one another but by the end of it they both stood battered and broken. cass suffering multiple lacerations and missing pieces of her flesh, her left arm cleaved off a bit past the shoulder. val looks much the same missing one of her eyes and her right arm. they stand breathing heavily and shuffling towards each other to deal the final blow. val sluggishly swings her arm over head as cass cleaves it off. with no other means val unhinges her jaw lunging for cass' throat biting down on it just as cass plunges her blade thru val's chest piecing her heart. she pauses grunting for a moment and as a last defiant cry lifts cass up with her neck and back alone and slams her down with enough force to shatter her neck and mangle the remnants of her legs and lower torso.*
val: *falls to her knees with the chainsword still firmly jammed in her chest.* looks like... we both lose..... *she says struggling to breath, cass gargling in response* i know you're still out there! if im going to die im at least dragging you down with me!
*alucard has suffered extensive damage hes slumped on a wall unable to regenerate after expending too much energy.*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *she reforms herself, though it takes a moment as she's not sure how, having little experience with using her abilities like this. She does still have her clothes from before, and she walks over to Val, kneeling down but keeping a careful eye on Cass* You don't have to die here... I know how strong my blood is for you, maybe it can help save you...
val: not yet.... *she looks around for her arm shuffling over to it and picking it up in her mouth. she walks over to cass setting the arm down by her severed stump and looks down sitting next to her, her body rapidly decaying.* how long have we been at this? ten?, twenty thousand years? *she sighs* its time to come home cass you and i both know one cant go on with out the other... *she looks over to nexa* i dont have much time left, i need you to move the arm closer and if you could drip some blood on it. if all goes well cass and i will cease to be, made whole once again.... see you soon love. *she closes her eyes as she falls back, turning to ash*
alucard: its up to them now....
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: Trouble always finds us. *she sighs and places Val's arm as instructed then a strand of barbed wire forms from nothing, wrapping around her hand and cutting her palm, allowing blood to drip from it onto the arm. When enough blood is used the barbed wire unwrap and vanishes* See you soon love.
*the arm reattaches its self after a moment but remains motionless.*
alucard: at this point they either merge or one dominates the other, we can only wait and see.
*after what feels like hours val finally moves, she sits up opening her eyes, blood red in color. her hair seems longer and blacker then normal and her size remains largely unchanged*
val: *groans holding her head* whats going on..... *she looks at nexa and alucard confused* who are you?
alucard: hmm i cant say i was expecting this. a possible side effect of merging two minds, judging by your appearance you are valendria correct?
val: yes but what are you talking about....
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: I'm Nexa, your Fiancé. *she looks a bit saddened but glad to see Val in better condition as she shows her the ring Val gave her, hoping that it will stir her memories* you've been through some rough times, I'm not exactly sure how much you've forgotten...
val: *she looks perplexed at the ring and then nexa* i suppose my memories will catch up in time.... i remember two people talking then it was like waking up from a long dream... i see flashes of memories as if im seeing them thru some one elses eyes but they are mine... *she stares off for a moment* and there is this anger for something i cannot shake...... *she sighs* alright nexa lets start by getting out of here.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nexa: *She nods and focuses for a moment, the darkness receding and the lights brightening until reality returns to normal* We're home again, if you feel hurt in any way let me know you were in bad shape before. I should probably let Mom know that something happened to you... *She scratches at her chin in thought before offering a hand to Val*
