The 10 soldier kept shooting at her, even though the barrier of a red shield blocks them. Sooner or later, Hikaru will to run out of Spirit Energy. She has to.

The generator became critical, and emergency stabilizers have been activated, followed by a strong shield that surrounds the generator. The generator is barely stable. In case the generator fails, three backup AM generators have been activated. These aren't as powerful as the main generator, but all three of them together are as powerful as the main generator. The AM generators are positioned close around the main AM generator, in an equilateral triangular formation, yet a safe distance away.

Two crews with rocket launchers, three for each, has come in, and loaded their rocket launchers. These are HEAT rounds, so these are explosive, yet these have armor-piercing capabilities. They then fired at Hikaru, ignoring the fact that the generator would most likely damage the generator or the stabilizers, turning the generator into a ticking bomb.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me..." Hikaru barely had time to mutter as she pulled the katana out of the generator. She didn't feel her magic back, and what was worse, she felt the same strong suppression of it. Had it all been for damn nothing? Hikaru didn't have time to worry about it, because at that point, missiles were coming for her?! These guys just didn't know when to give up.

Jumping to the side, she dropped and rolled out of the way as the missiles hit the generator and it exploded in bits and pieces. The barrier would keep the explosion from harming her, but even with the unknown source adding to her spirit energy, there was a limit. Hikaru didn't know the limit it, but she knew it couldn't last forever. "Dammit, Dammit, Dammit!" She swore, as she jumped behind what looked like another generator. Wait... another one?! But she didn't feel a magic pull from this one... Did this mean they had more than one thing to stop magic? Perhaps other things? There was only one way to find out.

Hikaru now had her plan. "Let's play follow the sage..." She whispered to herself, crouching behind the second generator. All she had to do was wait...

Gaserlake · « **Reply #52 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:32:03 AM »

Of course, the rockets destroyed the generator. Since the generator is destroyed an not unstable, there won't be such a big explosion.

This generator wasn't a generator. Each generator has its own room. What she's behind is a stabilizer. The Aralangs know her idea: to get them to destroy as much as their own equipment as possible. Instead of shooting rocket launchers, they slowly got to her sides as they shot her, attempting to surround her.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #53 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:57:25 AM »

Only, they moved too slowly. But why weren't they attacking? Hikaru wondered. Sure, they were still shooting the guns at her, but why not the missiles? It didn't make sense. Had they figured out her plan? In any case, if they did, she would just have to make another. Locating the door behind her, Hikaru quickly ducked down to avoid the fire from her sides. Opening it, she went through, but not before first focusing on the spirit energy. By the time she had gone through the door, she was not one, but five Hikaru's.

It was time to find the rest of the AM Field. She NEEDED her damn magic. There was no way she could keep this up forever...All five Hikaru's split up.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #54 on:** July 16, 2010, 01:07:25 AM »

She would be the one to move too slowly. Defenses have already been set up. Three heavy machine gunners have been set up around the door, 20 feet away, mounted on a pile of sandbags. Two rocket launcher crews have been positioned between the three heavy machine guns. 6 other Aralangs stood by with their rifles. They all fired at once, the rockets and the bullets flying. Then, another HIkaru came out, then another, and another, and another. Five Hikaru's? What's going on? This did not stop them from attacking though.

The infrared and biological sensors confirm that these are not illusions. Are these clones?

The chasing Aralangs caught up with the five Hikaru's, and fired, even though they were confused. They know that these represented a criminal, so they had no reason to not shoot at them. They made sure not to hit other Aralangs on the other side, in the other room.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #55 on:** July 16, 2010, 08:09:01 AM »

The instant the five Hikaru's walked through the door, they ducked, and hit the walls. Hikaru didn't know they were waiting, no. But with what was happening so far, she wasn't about to take any chances, and seeing the fire from the corner of her vision, she knew she had made the right choice But she was far from being safe. Before the dodged bullets and missile's could hit the opposite walls, her and the other four Hikaru's rased one hand in a sweeping motion while runing. Cast in spirit energy, the pull from the spell levitated the airborne attacks and directed them at the generator within the room.

All five had done the spell gesture, but to conserve energy, only one had actually done the spell. It would remain unknown as to which. But with the distraction of the confusion from the controlled attacks giving them little time, Hikaru and her four clones made it to the next door, but did not go through. Clinging to the walls, they waited first to make sure the generator had been hit. If it hadn't, it would be all in vain.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #56 on:** July 16, 2010, 05:37:31 PM »

The rockets hit one backup generator, destroying it. This encouraged the Aralangs to not use anymore rockets. The tank crews then switched to their rifles.

Beyond the next door is a tank, aiming at the door, waiting for a Hikaru to come through. 6 Aralangs are at the sides of the tank. Behind the tank is the second backup generator, surrounded by 7 soldiers. There are two doors. One to another room, and a door to the generator. 4 Aralangs, two for each, are in front of the door, guarding it.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #57 on:** July 16, 2010, 07:21:10 PM »

"I can't keep this up forever..." Hikaru muttered to herself, grabbing onto the handle of the door, while the four clones of her slashed what bullets they could out of the way. Though she didn't have the time, she froze before going through the door. So far these guys had been ahead of her one step each room. She could now feel the pull on her magic weaken thanks to the destruction of the generator, but it wasn't enough. She still couldn't call to it. If they had another surprise waiting in the next room, what the hell was she going to do?!

"Be ready," She said to the clones, and opened the door, the clones of her jumping ahead and going in through first.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #58 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:28:33 PM »

The tank shot at the ground at the doorway soon as the door opened, knowing that they are all right on the other side of the wall. The plasma shot went at over two miles per second. Seeing as this is a room, the shockwaves bounce off the walls. The Aralangs have some resistance to the blast, and that saved them from injuries. The area hit was melting slightly, and there was an explosive blast where it is was hit. The Aralangs then shot at any Hikaru's in sight. The tank quickly reloaded.

The Aralang troops behind them chased the Hikaru's, yet stayed clear for the tank blast.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #59 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:47:01 PM »

It appeared that Hikaru had guessed right. The clones hit, they burned up in the plasma and a mess of Spirit Energy, leaving the real Hikaru underneath them. Not bothering to stick around, she jumped up, and ran for it, ducking, and dodging bullets, as she slid underneath the tank while it took the time to reload.

Though she could probably do damage with the katana, to the tank its self. She wouldn't. Hikaru didn't know much about technology, but she knew enough to know the damage a tank could do, especially by the impact it had on her clones. She instead focused on the spirit energy, forming an image within her mind. Once she had the image, she expanded it to outside of her mind. About now, the Aralangs would be seeing Hikaru run out from under the tank and towards where she sensed the generator. Only... it wouldn't be real. An Illusion!

Gaserlake · « **Reply #60 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:57:06 PM »

Two Aralangs got to the front of the tank before Hikaru. One of them hit her in the chest with the muzzle of the rifle. The other hit her in the back of the head. 4 of the other Aralangs went around her and started beating her down, kicking her and hitting her with the rifles. Some tried to push her down. If bullets won't work, then melee combat is the next thing. The tank backed away in the process, maintaining distance from Hikaru.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #61 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:11:08 AM »

Before the first one could hit her in the chest, she threw up her leg and kicked him straight in the nuts. But then fell forward from the blow to the back of her head. Dropping to her knees, she knelt on the ground and threw one arm over her head to shield, while using her other hand to swing the katana in an arc shape, aimed for their ankles. The blade still alight with spirit energy, it sent out waves of it in mid-swing. Dammit! She had been hoping they wouldn't go for melee.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #62 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:36:37 AM »

The guy buckled over in... pain? It's not actually pain... but whatever it was, it was enough to make him go down to the ground, bucked over. It also made him sterile for a good few seconds.

The others kept at her. Two of the Aralangs have been slashed in the ankles. They both cried out in pain as they fell to their knees. One behind her kicked her in the back, pushing her down. One of them pressed the foot down on the wrist that held the katana, immobilizing that arm.

The two kept beating her down, one hand with the rifles, the other hand keeping them up. The cuts were bad enough to prevent them from standing. The rest continued beating, kicking, and stomping her down.

The Aralang forces chasing her eventually caught up to her. They began to surround the scene.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #63 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:46:58 AM »

Hikaru fell to the ground. She could feel her wrist being crushed, but this didn't make her drop the katana. She couldn't! It was her only damn weapon left! Practically eating the ground from the beat down, the only thing Hikaru could really do was thrash about, which accomplished nothing. But she wouldn't be captured again, dammit! She had gotten this far... She couldn't allow it under any circumstance!

Reaching her free hand out, while withstanding the the beating for as long as she can, Hikaru grabbed the blade of the katana. Because it was alight with spirit energy, and so was she, the blade didn't cut her. Once she had a grasp on it, she let go of the hilt with her crushed hand, and stabbed what was left of the blade hanging out her other hand, into the leg of the two Aralangs on her other side.

Then with the distraction of that, Hikaru rolled herself over, and kicked at the the fifth Aralang. Wasting no time, she jumped up, threw the katana in the air, and levitated it into the generator at the speed of a bullet, a fast levitation. Because the katana still had spirit energy around it, at impact, it would explode. Not sticking around through the levitation, Hikaru ran like hell towards the door she could sense the next generator through.

But that wasn't all, because her clones had been made completely of spirit energy and not a spell, when they were hit they were destroyed, but the energy could not be. Instead the lingering spirit energy went back to Hikaru herself, forming around her as barrier.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #64 on:** July 17, 2010, 10:27:57 PM »

The two fell to their knees, hitting with their rifles. The one standing got hit in the shin. He hopped around for balance for a few seconds before the pain went away.

The tank shot it's machine gun at Hikaru, when it realized that Hikaru was winning the melee fight. It made sure it didn't hit any of its own troops. When Hikaru's on the run, it shot its main cannon at her. The generator exploded and got destroyed. Two soldiers at the next door shot at her, then went into melee combat again when she was close enough.

Behind the door is a Fighter, ready to fire.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #65 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:18:35 PM »

The pulses from the machine guns were useless, as the former spirit energy of her clones was now around Hikaru as a barrier. But the cannon? That was another story. Raising her hand that wasn't crushed, the other one she could barely move, she took hold of the plasma blast from the cannon through levitation, and aimed it at the the door she was running to. Usually a feat that would have been almost impossible, but with two generators gone by now, she started to feel her senses coming back. Her magic wasn't, but her ability to sense things around her, wasn't quite as blocked anymore. This gave her the ability to sense the oncoming cannon before it could hit her.

If they had no way of stopping it, the cannon blast should have broken through the next room enough to take out the element of surprise as to what she was going to next face. Because at this point in time, Hikaru knew they had something. She didn't know what, but so far they had thrown everything but the damn kitchen sink at her. Was that next? Who the hell knew?!

Gaserlake · « **Reply #66 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:34:04 PM »

It revealed the Fighter hovering, alright, and the Aralangs are pissed. Now, martyrdom is in effect. The Fighter shot all of its guns at Hikaru, disregarding the wall, which gave way very easily, and straight at her, ignoring the fact that there are many Aralangs and a tank there, and they would be killed. The Aralangs ran out as the Fighter shot at Hikaru. Some survived, but most of them didn't. The tank melted, and the Aralangs are no more. Every single Aralang that was still in the room has been killed from the blast or the heat. Hell, many holes to a room below has been opened. The room below has several Aralang soldiers, looking up. They saw Hikaru, and opened fire on her.

The generator is around the corner of the room, in a widened, circular part of the room. The Fighter itself would block the way partially, but the shields would block the rest.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #67 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:14:19 AM »

They fire on their own people? What the hell?! Hikaru barely had time to think, as the fighter fired on her, luckily the barrier had saved her. In fact... As she stood there in shock, but also in one piece, the barrier had increased in size, not just around her, but around the whole room. Everything aglow with the eerie multi-spectrum of colored spirit energy. Just, what the hell was going on? By all rights, she should have been dead ages ago, back in the first generator room. She almost used up her whole spirit, her whole being...but by some miracle she had lived, and had more energy then ever?

And now....this? Where was all the energy coming from?! The barrier hadn't just expanded, it had also increased in strength as well. It seemed more powerful, more solid...and yet....familiar... too familiar... But that was impossible? Wasn't it? Her senses partly returned to her, she could sense Revelations in the barrier, but it wasn't magic, it couldn't be.... Unless.. but again! That was impossible!

Still.. impossible as it was, she couldn't ignore her senses. If what she felt was true, the Revelation magic was all around her, in her. But around it, it held spirit energy... as if it was coated with it, keeping the magic usable, by providing the spirit energy its self a shield.. If this was true then...

Hikaru clenched the fist of her good hand. "I suggest you all leave, NOW!" She shouted, to the Aralangs. Hikaru understood now. By taking the book into her, it seemed she had tapped into its power, its inner power and magic, and the spirits of all those that had ever used it and sealed themselves. Because of the AM field, the spirit had merged with the magic and provided it an outside casing, letting it exist in the field. In her shock of what they had done, the power she had tapped into not only saved her, but also saved what she was thinking about.

If all of this was true.... Things were about to get hectic. "Martyrs or not," She muttered, sparking with the Revelation Spirit Magic that flowed within her now, thanks to being one with the book. "Get the hell out of my way, if you want to continue living."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #68 on:** July 18, 2010, 12:41:45 AM »

What the hell? She survived THAT? Under an IAM field? Something has be helping her a lot. An anomaly has been detected in Hikaru. The Fighter made a noise, as if it was an emotion, like a voice. It sounded like it was curious. It certainly wasn't mechanical. Sounded a bit like a low-pitched horn, and a growl. The Aralangs attached themselves to the ships, the Fighter included. It circled as if it was analyzing. Anything in the shield's way gets disintegrated.

The Fighter slowly and curiously moved into Hikaru, the shields making contact with her, poking her, seeing if it does anything.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #69 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:12:10 AM »

Too slow. Before the shield could touch her, Hikaru was gone. In the air and hovering near the ceiling above the fighter. She observed from her place as one of the walls disintegrated, and she could see more of the room above. The AM generator didn't seem to be there. Then where was it? Wait! Why did she even care? She had a form of magic again!

Smirking as she did it, Hikaru held out her good hand and focused on the form of the generator. Forming the picture in her mind from the ones she had seen so far, and calling to where she felt it, she summoned the generator to her, cords and all, but not where she was, no. She summoned it mere centimeters away from the fighter, and then let it drop on the shield.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #70 on:** July 18, 2010, 01:34:58 AM »

The generator's power source is gone, and the station's only AM generator is gone. The shield started disintegrating it, but then the Fighter used its tractor beam, moving what's left of it away, and used it as a weapon. The Fighter swiped the generator at Hikaru.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #71 on:** July 18, 2010, 03:02:10 AM »

The remainder of the generator burst into golden flames and turned to ashes, right before it hit Hikaru. With the AM Field finally gone, she could feel the magic literally flow back into her soul, and rejoin her spirit. Mixed with the Revelation Spirit Magic, it seemed to be stronger, more powerful than before, and her own spirit started to slowly restore. Her injuries from the fight, as they were only physical injuries, began to heal up, her wrist as well. With magic returned, her Phoenix DNA had taken effect, and the injuries were no more. Too bad for these guys, Hikaru was back.

Then she attempted to teleport....
Only to find she couldn't.

"Dammit." Hikaru swore. "All of that and I STILL CAN'T get out of here! What the hell?!" What the hell indeed. She had destroyed all of the AM Fields, she had survived, and she had returned her magic to her. But she STILL couldn't leave?! It was how she originally got captured, all over again. She had taken the hostage, they had lowered the field, and she was unable to leave. Only this time.... They couldn't raise the fields again.

"Grrr..." Raising a finger to her throat she cast a voice amplification spell to echo through the whole station. "Either you tell me what trickery you're playing, and how to get the hell out of here . Or I'm blowing this whole damn dimension up, and you with it!"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #72 on:** July 18, 2010, 04:04:48 PM »

"We're martyrs", a voice said in Hikaru's head. "Your threats mean nothing to us." The Fighter then fired at Hikaru, as well as ramming into her.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound. The ground started to shake, then the whole room started to shake. It intensified. Whatever it was, it was big.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #73 on:** July 18, 2010, 04:56:45 PM »

The shots fired from the fighter merely burst into golden flames as well. Hikaru still had her barrier up and added with her magic, it meant a protection of Holy Fire as well. Without magic, they couldn't touch her. As for the ramming, she just flew out of the way.

"Martyrdom isn't getting your whole race killed for one person, no that's genocide. If you call that honor, I call you fools." She meant to mutter, but because of her cast spell, it also echoed around the station. After her statement, flames of Revelation magic ignited around her. Gathering it to her hands, she pointed to the floor where the fighters attack had broken the floor, aiming for the Aralangs below.

"But if you want your people to die so bad, then so be it. Watch them burn!" At that she prepared to send the wave of flames down with a flick of her hand. But then she froze...her hand in mid-flick, the wave of flames stopping in mid-air. What the hell?! For some reason she couldn't do it, she couldn't send the spell all the way, or even make that hand move further. When she tried, it just stayed frozen.

What was going on?! Why couldn't she kill them, dammit?! With all her hatred of them, and everything they had done to her, including keeping her there. Now when she had a chance to make her point, she couldn't seem to do it. She just couldn't bring herself to kill any of them, or even feel the inclination to do so.

This thought raced around in her mind as she lowered her hand, the flames fading. Just what was wrong with her? Killing? Second nature, ....right?

"Very well then..." She cast the barrier just around herself, and reinforced it then turned around to face the air. "I'll just get myself out of here.." she muttered the last part to herself.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #74 on:** July 18, 2010, 05:41:55 PM »

The Holy Fire actually helped the plasma, due to the increase in heat, but the heat has been too dispersed to go through.

"We are willing to sacrifice the entire race over one person. Don't tell us what is foolish about our ethical way of the living and the dying," said the same voice in Hikaru's head.

The Fighter sensed Hikaru's confusion. She can't kill, but why? She already did kill some Aralangs back in Aralia, so why not now? The Fighter circled around as it read her mind, trying to find out why.

The rumbling and the shaken intensified. It would be very hard to stand at this point.
