Orion's Mentor

This story happened before Orion's death, it tells of the demise of the woman who taught her magic.

The 2nd of Feburary, 2002...

Auriga enters this room

Auriga walks in through the door. "So this is the place?" she muses.

Auriga walks over to one of the walls and examines what looks to be the surface of a large marble sphere. She snorts. "This is going to be too easy. I'm dissappointed, young one."

Auriga turns her back to the wall and looks at one of the men, delight in her eyes.

[Auriga] This IS too easy. He's here as well!

Auriga walks over to Thisel. "I see she hasn't killed you yet. Either she's too weak or something happened to her mind. Nevermind. You will both die soon."

Thisel shakes his head at Auriga. "And since you know who I am, mind if I know you?"

Auriga blinks. "You don't remember me, do you? I should have expected as much."

Auriga drops a hint. "You took something from me. I wonder? Was she good in bed?"

[Auriga] Were her screams pleasing to hear?

[Thisel] "I have had quite a hard time late ....... " He blinks at her. "Three woman I have taken to bed, I have doubts that you know of the first and you don't seem to be a friend of Peria's, and well Ronnie my wife..."

[Auriga] She found her way back to me, after a while. She had been taken. I turned her loose again, after I adjusted her training. Something must of happened, because you are still alive. It's been so long now I can't remember her name. 'Orielle?' Goddess only knows what she calls herself nowadays.

Thisel looks at Auriga. " So do please tell which of those ladies I "took to bed" that you wanted for your self?"

[Auriga] I don't want her any more, except to kill her. 'Orinell?'

Thisel smiles at Auriga. "Oh.... I thought you would have come after me sooner... you know the saying 'If they don't chase you a mile they won't chase at all.'"

Rochelle enters this room

Rochelle walks in through a wall, like it were opaque air. She yawns, and waves to Thisel. "Heya Thiselliepoos."

Rochelle 's got a pet name for Thisel. Awww... How cute. :D

Thisel slowly gets up and turns around. "Rochelle... I suggest you go." and tosses her a small tube. "Find me later and don't open that tube."

[Auriga] 'Orion?'

Rochelle blinks and stops the tube before it hits her, before taking it out of the air. Go psychokinesis. :D

Rochelle blinks quietly at Thisel, then looks to Auriga. "...What about my wife?"

[Auriga] Huh?

Thisel crosses his arms and turns to face Auriga. "She failed, I think some people should do their own dirty work..."

Rochelle quirks a slightly tired eyebrow at Auriga. "Orion. That's my wife's name."

Auriga looks at the strange woman. "You have a wife. How quaint."

Rochelle looks between Thisel and Auriga. "...Something tells me I walked in at a baaad time."

Thisel grimices. "Oi vey."

Rochelle widens her eyes at a whisper, then looks to Thisel. "Oh HELL no."

[Auriga] That's why I'm here. But you can wait. I want the girl first. *more to herself* What was her name?

Blaze watches Thisel and Rochelle, wisely shutting up and staying where he is.

Rochelle narrows her eyes at Auriga. "....Orion... Douglas perchance?"

Rochelle was made to destroy a kitsune, Blaze. You're a smart man.

[Thisel] "And women say men are bull headed."

Rochelle points at Thisel with a warning finger. "Quiet you."

Blaze looks at Auriga, narrowing his eyes, but stays, perched on the bar, holding the razors.

[Auriga] Douglas. Now HE was a nasty man. Kept his daughter for his own use after her mother died. I found out about and killed him and took for my ow.. YES!

Auriga looks with renewed interest at Rochelle.

Rochelle widens her eyes... then narrows them. "...So you ARE after my wife..."

Blaze mutters softly, "Oh, shit."

Thisel looks at Rochelle. "One woman tells me quiet, yeah... right."

Rochelle grins ... darkly.... "...Honey... You are treadin' on thiiin ice..."

[Auriga] I know all about ice.

Rochelle narrows her eyes to mere slits, snarling softly. "...Ice isn't going to help you too much..."

[Auriga] You'll be seeing a lot of it if you don't bring her to me.

Rochelle flexes her right wrist...

[Rochelle] "Oooh... I'd LOOOOOVE to... But this is a no breathing zone..."

Auriga looks at Rochelle's wrist and a chunks of ice starts condensing around it. "Don't try dear, just go fetch."

Rochelle grins... She tenses her hand, snarling as the hilt of her Spirit Blade appearing, and the firey red energy blade flashing into life...

Thisel sighs. "Why doesn't anyone listen to me?"

Rochelle winces at the ice, and holds her left hand over it, heating it up firmly, her aura flaring with heat.

[Auriga] Has she been teaching you tricks?

Auriga increases her concentration and tries to bind both of Rochelle's hands.

[Thisel] "Not my fault you wanted them dead, and I needed them alive was it?"

Rochelle glares directly at Auriga. "I should warn you... I'm more than meets the eye..." She grins a bit, and increases her aura of heat, stepping forwards towards Auriga as she slowly controls her aura to keep the ice at bay.

Hadrienne_C. oocly blinks...Rochelle's a transformer....*G*

[Auriga] No. You're.... something different.

Rochelle 's part demon, part Fire elemental, part human, and part fox. There's a reason she was named "Project: Starfury"

Rochelle smirks darkly, stepping forwards. "Welcome to the next level, missy. It's dying time."

Auriga trys to bind Rochelle's aura from stopping the heat Rochelle's generating from travelling too far.

[Thisel] "Do mind if I help Rochelle, at all?"

Rochelle 's player wonders if that'll be causing lots of condensation? Considering her fight with Rosetta, she'll have gotten stronger methinks.

[Auriga] (( I'm thinking pressure cooker. The heat just build and builds... ))

Rochelle keeps walking towards Auriga, snarling and increasing her aura further, about half way there at the moment to her full power... "Not at all Thisel. You're as much in this as me I'm guessing."

[Rochelle] (( Roch's gonna love that. ^.^ ))

[Auriga] (( Auriga don't know that ^.^. Regular people, even other mages, would be roasted after a short time ))

[Rochelle] (( *Giggles* Vaaatch tha finger... :D ))

[Auriga] (( *flips the bird* =D ))

[Rochelle] (( *giggles* You know where you can stick that finger don't you? ^.~ ))

[Thisel] "More so then you think Rochelle....." as he waves his right hand and his staff appears in it. "Hmmmm I wonder how long you'll last against the both of us?" looking at Auriga.

Rochelle feigns weakening as she steps forwards.

Rochelle even starts panting a little. "...Ngh... By the way,... Miss... Did I... ever tell you about... the time I... Hehe... Defeated an ice elemental, and an ice Kitsune?..."

Auriga grins at Rochelle. "Looks like you're almost washed up!" She glances at Thisel and suddenly a chunk of the marble room which makes up Orion's room goes flying at him.

Rochelle while Auriga's distracted, gives up the illusion, and dashes forwards via psychokinesis, aiming a slash with her Spirit Blade, without a single word.

Auriga dodges to the left, leaving an stone copy of herself where she was.

Thisel looks at the marble chunk flying and vanishes as it hits a second after he's dissapeared.

Thisel chants slowly from behind and above Auriga.

Rochelle cuts right the way THROUGH the stone copy... Everything pauses for a second, before the statue slides in half, absolutely cleanly cut, before shattering on the ground, She looks to Auriga and grins cheerfully. "By the way. Thanks for the boost." She then phazes out and reappears above Auriga, flying downwards with another slash.

Auriga rolls backward.

Rochelle ends up in a crouch, a large slash cut into the ground...

[Auriga] What ARE you?

Rochelle stands slowly, glancing over her shoulder. <Movie scene>"Your WORST nightmare..."</Movie scene>

Thisel starts to glowing softly "Uth Samar..." he smiles as a bright light appears behind him and he drops back down to the floor.

Auriga concentrates slightly before arcs of electrictiy jolt from her hands at Rochelle.

[Auriga] YOU! My worst nightmare! HA!

Rochelle narrows her eyes, noticing the lightning only too late, giving a yell as it slams into her, the energy crackling around her body... Staggering back a bit, she grits her teeth, immediately revealing her twin fox tails, the two bushy appendages rubbing against each other...

Auriga goes o.O at the tails.

Rochelle holds her left hand up. "...My sister could have pummeled you into the ground in a mere second... I defeated her."

Auriga tears another chunk of ODie's home and aims it at Rochelle.

Thisel jumps infront of Rochelle takeing the brunt of the marble.

Rochelle narrows her eyes, this time phazing out, reappearing after the chunk's gone through where she was, giving a yell as a blast of energy is fired from her outstretched hand towards Auriga's chest... Soon after, one of her tails flicks forwards, sending a LARGE jolt of energy backwards at Auriga as well.

Thisel slams into the wall and slowly gets back up, all that that seems to hurt his bottem lip.

Auriga redirects most of the fire energy at Thisel but still takes a hit.

Rochelle leaps forwards again snarling in fury.

Thisel sees the fire comeing toward him and laughs as the flames engulf him. "Oh, that's smart....."

Auriga channels another lighting burst at Rochelle.

Thisel runs toward Auruga "Tsk tsk tsk."

Rochelle this time is facing it, so yells out, using her sword, bringing it to try and block the burst of lightning... There's a short space of "bullet time" so to speak I hope this works ... Then the energy slams into her Spirit Blade... (Roll 1d20. Highest wins. ))

( Rochelle rolls 1d20 => 12 )

( Auriga rolls 1d20 => 16 )

Rochelle grits her teeth, trying to force the blade to absorb the attack, but instead, she doesn't QUITE get it right, gives a cry, and is sent to the ground again, leaving a crater in the ground.

Auriga slaps her forehead and mutters "Duh, forgetfull!"

Auriga flings another chunk of rock at Thisel.

Rochelle pants a little, then flips to her feet, giving a yell as Auriga throws that rock, throwing her hands forwards and releasing a flare of almost volcanic heat at the female mage.

Thisel stops near Aurgia and looks at the rock. "Oh dear....." He points the head of his staff at the marble, sending a bolt of energy to make it into sand.

Auriga takes almost half of the flare as she dodges. Thisel gets sand in his pants.

Rochelle , now incensed, dashes forwards again, making almost frenzied slashes and attacks at Auriga.

Auriga screams in fear/rage as she dodges, electricty going wild and more chunks of ODie's home flying into the fray.

[Auriga] (( d20 to hit with lighting ))

( Auriga rolls 1d20 => 6 )

Thisel has robes Auriga...and he places a hand on the floor with the sand, and it begins to bubble with water. The the sand and water swirl quickly to form a sand elemental.

Rochelle yells out in equal fury, slashing through, phazing past, and full on taking the attacks as necessary, still fighting on

( Rochelle rolls 1d20 => 1 )

Rochelle takes a one. She barely gets four attacks in before she's battered back through two tables and lays panting for breath...

Auriga gets numerous cuts as she dodges, gusts of wind assisting her.

Thisel moves the sand elemental toward OD's home to stop the on coming rocks.

Auriga blinks at Thisel as Rochelle goes flying backwards. "Fool."

Auriga applys a little heat to the sand elemental, solidifying it.

Auriga notes that their is a largeish hole in the side of ODie's home now.

Thisel turns his attention toward Auriga, and smiles, then points up. "You should check more often." Noteing that a small plume of water is heading toward her.

Rochelle groans and tries to get up....

Auriga redirects the plume at Rochelle.

[Auriga] Checkmate?

Thisel flicks his fingers at the now glass golem. "Come on big guy." as the golem rushes toward Aurgia.

Rochelle looks up into an oncoming stream of water. "...fuck." Then she gets knocked across the floor, and into a wall heavily by the looks of it... The water stops anything being seen. But she DOES give out a scream.

Auriga smiles at Thisel gives her an idea. A slight gust of wind blows into ODie's abode and it's marble walls turn into fine sand.

Thisel puts his hand out toward Rochelle, chanting somewhat. "Fire never was my best suit."

Rochelle : Something drips water on Auriga from above, accompanied by the sound of something large charging up... and the light darkening quite rapidly above the female mage...

Rochelle 's above Auriga now. She was for a while.

Auriga notices the darkness.

Rochelle is indeed above Auriga... And proves it by giving a rage scream, launching a beam of intense bright firey energy down at her... Souper!

Auriga puts up an Ice shield and tries desparatly to keep it reinforced.

Thisel now fires a few hard water balls at Auriga.

Rochelle keeps the beam attack going from sheer rage. "NnnrrrrRRRAAAGH!!!"

Auriga :: The balls of water attach themselves to Auriga's ice shield. Free re-enforcements! ::

Auriga notes ODie's room slowly fills with sand.

Rochelle finally stops the attack, exhausted, eyes wide as she realises what Auriga's doing. "ORION!!" She vanishes quickly and makes a sharp trip to Orion's room. She's got a fox and a wife to save.

Auriga starts weakening, the ice shield becoming thinner.

Thisel frowns and continues to fire, quickly forming a shpere around Auriga and then uses His Ice spells to freeze the air around and inside to Liquid temps.

Auriga quickly begins radiating fire. Liquid air flowing all over the floor.

Rochelle , now that she has Orion and Jolt safe, transports them to her lab, hidden between dimentions... She walks in through a wall... Looking VERY different... In place of what she was wearing before, is a black and blood red style armour suit complete with forearm mounted phase blasters, a HUD visor and full combat computer in the headset, and kinetic and energy shielding.

Auriga is encased in a hollow ball of ice.

[Rochelle] "I guess it's about time I field tested this baby..." She looks PISSED... and tired... And wounded...

Thisel walks out of the pilar of water and towards Auriga. "Now that you've cooled off..." he spins his staff to keep the Liquid from harming any others by pouring back onto the the sphere.

Rochelle aims her phaze blasters at Auriga. "Thisel. Get back. This will hurt like HELL when it hits.

Rochelle lifts herself off the floor a bit, still charging her energy blasters... This suit was designed to take her through Hell.

Thisel drops his spells letting the rapid heat do his work.

Rochelle aims her right arm at where Auriga is, and suddenly gives a yell, firing off a long rail-gun-esque blast of plasmatic energy...

Rochelle then aims the other, firing off a similar blast, each firing sending her back a step. She grins a bit. "Mental note. Recoil is good."

Auriga :: The shield shatters and a large cloud of steam obscures Auriga. You hear a scream and then a LARGE bolt of lightning travels towards Rochelle. BOLT3! MUDDA-FUGGER! ::

Rochelle dashes forwards, a pair of energised foot long claws sliding rapidly out from the wrists as she tries to slash through Auriga

Rochelle grits her teeth and gives a yell, the bolts striking directly into her shielding, knockign it down by a good two thirds. She swears audiably. Like so. "F*CK!"

Auriga jerks backward as claws come at her from the mist. She screams in pain as her left hand is severed.

Rochelle grins, following up the attack with this comment. "Missing something?" She then slashes UP with her other claw, attempting to rend through Auriga's chest....

Thisel walks toward Auriga and Rochelle and casts the best spell to shut someone up, He chants lightly. Makeing the 15' area around him dead quiet, no sound what so ever.

Auriga is missed entirly.

Rochelle blinks at the sudden quiet, and tries to say something, pausing... She goes to squeak a finger in an ear, then realises she's wearing her armour and stops herself before she gives herself a lobotomy.

Thisel quickly moves to Grapple Auriga.

Rochelle 's been utterly distracted now by the silence. She looks around for Auriga, then goes to yell something... Finding nothing's doing, she swears silently and looks around for the one who tried to kill her wife.

Auriga rolls against Thisel for no reason at all.

( Auriga rolls 1d20 => 11 )

( Thisel rolls 1d20 => 13 )

Thisel holds Auriga tightly.

Auriga doesn't then. She gets grabbed and sends an electric shock to whoever grabbed her.

[Thisel] watches the spell flicker off his spell protections. ~Auriga, don't make me break your arm~

[Auriga] ~GET OUT OF MY HEAD~

Thisel sighs as he grabs for the arm with the severed hand and he wraps it up in white cloth~

Auriga hurls another rock at him.

Rochelle watches Auriga and Thisel. "..."

Thisel gets smacked in the back with a rock and he would yelp if any could hear it. ~Son ofa, Rochelle can you subdue her please...~

Rochelle nods to Thisel. ~Oh gladly.~ And with that, she phases out, and phazes back in right behind Auriga, aiming a sharp elbow at the mage's spine.

Auriga screams and slumps to the floor.

Thisel sighs and looks around for one severed hand and brings it over to Auriga.

Rochelle casually whistles a tune and turns to face Auriga, flipping out a knife and placing it to Auriga's throat. "You've got 5 seconds to give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you for trying to harm my wife, my pet, and a friend..."

Auriga melts the blade in front of her vision.

Rochelle blinks at the blade. "...Crap." She lets the molten metal splash into Auriga's face though. She's immune to the heat. :D

Auriga screams in pain as she looses her eyesight.

Rochelle grins coldly and giggles, seeming to enjoy the screams. "Enjoyin' that?"

Rochelle likes the fact Thisel's not stopping her. ^.^

Thisel frowns at the two ladies. "Yeesh," places the stumps together and chants reattaches the hand. He blinks at Rochelle. "Rochelle, enough.... you trying to turn yourself in her?"

[Auriga] Fuck you! She was used up anyway!

Thisel thinks Rochelle posted a wit bit early.

Rochelle narrows her eyes, and turns Auriga over, literally lifting her by the throat. "...She's my wife. I love her. I will protect her at all costs..."

Auriga gurgles and chokes out. "Yeah, she must be wild in bed."

Thisel takes out another cloth and stuffs it into Auriga mouth, while she has it open.

Rochelle nods to Thisel. "Thank you. Got any rope? I think she needs a bath... and a pair of concrete overshoes.

Rina looks over to Rochelle for a moment, then turns her head away. She doesn't see a dang thing now.

Thisel gives Rochelle one good look. "That's enough, Rochelle, I will tell what you need to know."

Auriga bites down.

Thisel is glad his fingers aren't in her mouth any more.

Rochelle begins almost casually choking Auriga.

[Rochelle] "You've got as long as it takes for her to die, Thisel.

[Rochelle] "Orion and Jolt were going frantic in our home just now. They honestly thought they were going to die. On top of this I'm going to be playing Demon Hunter, and saving two souls at the same time sometime soon. I've got enough problems with Dr. Arc looming somewhere I bet, and now SHE comes along and screws everything up. You TRY and give me a good reason not to rip her head from her body, because Gaia help me I swear I will.

Auriga tries to force the cloth out with her tounge.

Rochelle notes not to think of this as murder, Rina. Think of it as.... Mercy Killing. :D

Thisel takes out some binders and claps Auriga. He looks at Rochelle. "You know I have had it up to here with the femme BS!" His faces turning a deep red. "NOW I said drop her NOW! I will deal with her."

Thisel eyes suddenly does a deep black and if anyone know's a wanderer's spawn is they can feel it comeing from him.

Rochelle stares at Thisel coldly... She narrows her eyes for a second.... Then carefully hands her over. "...I'm only doing this because you're a friend, Thisel... Don't let me ever see her again. Because I will kill her..."

Rochelle doesn't break her gaze from Thisel.

Thisel cluches his head and drops to his knees.

Rochelle frowns soflty, and gives a sharp crack to the back of Auriga's neck with her battle fan, aiming just to knock her clean out, before setting her down with Thisel. "Get a hold of yourself Thisel... Madness is not becoming of you."

( Auriga rolls 1d20 => 3 )

[Auriga] (( roll d20, roch.. ))

( Rochelle rolls 1d20 => 19 )

Rochelle 's player oh HELL yeahs.

Auriga :: You hear a snapping sound ::

Rochelle hears a snap, and glances to Auriga's neck. "..."

Blaze 's Cattie looks over. "Oh. NICE one, Roch..."

Rochelle shrugs a shoulder and lays Auriga carefully down.. Very carefully, then slips the fan to her belt again, and exits....

Rochelle thought so too, Cattie. She's not a medic though. ^.^;

Blaze 's Cattie guesses not! ^.~

Rochelle Already cut off her hand, blinded her, might as well break her neck. *sniekrS*

Rina types in her report that Auriga's neck was broken due to a fall off the stairs. Additional injuries were caused by the fight already in progress when this unit arrived.

Thisel shivers and slowly his up. He sighs and looks at Aurgia, "Damn it.... she didn't know any better..." he sighs and shakes his head. He chants softly and quitely mending the broken neck."Now for the life force."

Auriga would rather die than be brought back to life by Thisel.

Thisel is quite aware of that fact.

Thisel chants in a melodic tone and hopes that works.

( Thisel rolls 1d100 => 3 )

( Auriga rolls 1d100 => 31 )

Thisel sighs and shakes his head, looking very tired....and aged?

Thisel picks up Auriga and chants softly again, her body sent to a timeless limbo untill he can give her a proper bural.

Thisel gets up slowly and wobble's to the door.

Thisel exits from this room
