BartMayfield takes a cold offered by Cross and sits on the edge of the gathering. Sipping his brew, the mechanic would space out watching the colorful wisps in the sky. He idly rubs at his jaw, it occurring to him that a shave was overdue. For a time, he and his fellow engineer entertain the idea of making a decoration out of those ultralisk scythes. Bart only lingers for a time, the old tank driver slipping back into the familiar, heavy machine an passing out for the night.

Cross - BreakfastWhile Cross his moody eldest daghuter comes into the fob kitchen carrying a set of archaic maintenance tools she set's them on the table jabbing a wicked sharp spike into her shoulder causing the arm to spasm and open unfolding and revealing outdated and worn servos and she picks up a soldering iron plugging into the outlet above her she then pulls out a rag from down her undershirt rolling it up and biting it before she starts making repairs mild grunts of pain coming from her. just as she finishes her arm maintenance lily enters carrying a large case."Rose restrain her" Rose's holographic body appears behind Vania restraining her it's at this point Cross sees the classic biohazard symbol on the case and registers the cold in his butterflies voice like a blizzard. lily fly's up to Vanias head level staring her dead in the eyes before opening the case to reveal a chip that one of D-55's drone grabs with a small manipulator.

In a flash after the little drone grabs the chip Vania has a flip out and her cybernetic arm reverses breaking Roses grip for a moment "Hold still you drug addicted teen " Lily produces a small laser scalpel and opens her sisters head presenting a clear view of the cybernetic installed in her head. lily then removes a chip no doubt the same inhibitor the warning the previous day mentioned replacing it with her own model lily uses another tool to heal her sisters head and Rose leaves Vania then spits out her rag from earlier taking a swing at her little sister with her cybernetic fist sending her flying into cross's back as he finishes breakfasts setup "Sorry daddy she been in a mood somethings wrong but I think I've made it worse" Vania grabbes her sister dragging her outside before producing another spike and running it through her sister's shoulder "who said to go rooting through my head hmm half pint I may be unstable but that chip makes the voices worse next time ill root through your head and not with a tool it'll be my bare hands and what's left" Vania then pulls from her shirt again a small gun putting a bullet in her head an the gose to see Doctor udun for some actual surgery after Vania leaves lily pulls the spike out and the hole closes itself "Sorry again daddy I though she needed a replacement part as i have a chip with a similar function and need it to keep my power core from overloading I figured it was the same for her but it was most likely how people controlled her" eventually Vania comes back good as new and less pissed off evident by her attempt to get her sister to do shots with her at Cross's tell of she just blows cigarette smoke in his face and gose outside with her tools to work on a motorcycle that was stored in her apparent pod and while she works she has some drinks and listens to her music rather loud again and proceeds to pick fights with some of the mechanics over parts she needs and taking their tools causing both Xel and Mari to restain her and break up several fights before she killed someone "Crossy come deal with this"


Yasir - The warp Yasir as he sends his silent pray finds himself no longer sitting with friends but rather upon a throne of skulls infernal creatures bowing to him his patrons voice echoing around him "To further you ends my champion I give you this sliver of my domain use it as you see fit as well as one of my chaos marine fleets to see your arms are guarded and transported properly those 10 ships wait your first sale and to celebrate this occasion I invite you to dine with me" he shifts again finding himself at a long dining table in a small contemporary manor a large man clad in heavy armor sits across from him a vast feast separating them "Eat please we have as long as we need a bloodthirster will relay are meeting to your comrade when the wake" as the two eat several other people join them the first is a older looking man in a robe whome his paton calls Tzeentch, the second is a man who is heavily diseased and called Nurgle the final one to join them is a woman of unrivaled beauty dressed extravently called Slaanesh. the head of the table eventually stands up "devious Tzeentch,Pestilential Nurgle and Cruel Slaanesh Thank you for joining me here I have found a new champion " he motions to Yasir Slaanesh give him a good look "Mmmm Khorney where did you find this one i'd love me a piece of him" Tzeentch is the next to speak "He indeed does have some potential Nurgle what do you think" the diseased man gets up from his seat and gives Yasir a good look "he is indeed a strong champion perhaps we should have him meet the others " they all laugh "Indeed he should but for now i have a job for him as their is a young woman on his Plane I want him to bring me did you all do your parts" each of the diners produces a item and then presents them to Yasir and at his puzzled look Tzeentch exsplains "those items are in a way tribute they show are acknowledgement for your station from me the Tome of Erthron, from Slaanesh the Gauntlet of aspect and from Grandfather Nurgle the helm of pestilence my tome is a collection of magic spells from here in the warp use them liberally" Slaanesh then elaborates on her gift "Mmm Tzeentch you know it all my gift is indeed the gauntlet of aspect while you wear it your very arm is a weapon" Nurgle then elborts upon his "The helm of pestilence will give you immunity to all diseases and immortality age will no longer define you serve well child" khorne claps his hands together "very good my friends and now my promise to you my champion is this get me the woman called Vania and i will grant you true power"tzeentch stands abruply "she was uncotus and frozen and kill the last champion you think now she walks again she will be any easier that addict has more physical power than you and has stolen most of my relics"..."THATS WHY HE HAS MY BEST TO HELP" the room falls silent and several heavy armored marines enter and stand behind Yasirs "they will wait in your domain till you are ready to subdue the woman Vania as she will not come quietly and if she kills you they will recover your body for resurrection if you have any question you know how to ask" moments later he's back at the party where he was before items in front of him



Chief mayfieldThe chief wakes up to a rather rude awakening of hearing someone argue with his boys over parts and tools with rohdenberry banging on the hatch as he's needed

Teen Angst
right-aligned image


Cross gave his eldest a smile as she came into the FOB kitchen but he remained quiet and focused on his cooking as he registered her disposition, moody and sullen, clearly not the morning person he was. As he watched her working on her cybernetic arm with clearly old and well worn tools he resisted the urge to step up and offer to help, from what he had learnt so far about her she was fiercely independent. what happened next was surprising, Cross hadn't heard that tone in Lily's voice since the space station and the shock of hearing it again and seeing what was happening was enough to cause him to pause long enough for his youngest child to take a laser scalpel to Vania's head and swap out a chip in her cyber-ware, clearly without her consent.

The impact of Lily colliding with him after being struck by her sister is enough for him to regain his focus but he is prevented from following immediately by the sharp return of his migraines as cant help rolling his eyes as Vania grabs Lily and drags her outside, stabbing lily and making her threat before heading off to find Doctor Udun.

When Lily comes back inside, her wound already closed by her Nanites, Cross is waiting and he isn't happy. his voice calm and cold as he holds out his hand during Lily's apology and explanation. "Rose's Holographic projector please" taking in both hands as if he is about to snap it in half after the young girl passes it to him sheepishly. for a moment he is considering it but after taking a deep breath he turns it over and pulls the power cell from it and slips both into a pocket before pulling out his Datapad, the same one which housed Rose's Artificial Personality Program, Powering it down.

The result would be a gap in Rose's memories for the period it was switched off, a blank space that made Rose feel very uncomfortable, it was the reason he very rarely powered down the pad but she had overstepped her bounds and there had to be consequences. he was aware that Lily was special and her influence on Rose was most likely more than the Artificial Program could handle but this punishment was as much Lily's as it was Rose's. he knew the young girl would be aware of Rose's discomfort at being deactivated.

"I'm not mad at you butterfly and i still love you but i am very disappointed in you. I know you were trying to help Vania but you know what you did to her without her consent was very wrong, after everything that happened to you without your permission how could you put your sister through the same thing? there is no excuse is there?"

For a moment Cross stood looking down at the young girl before kneeling at her level and giving her a smile, brushing a strand of hair out of her face "I'd like you to apologise to her when she gets back and has calmed down okay? out loud please, not over your private channel, deal?"

The older girl returned not long after, clearly a lot calmer and friendlier with Lily but still in a bad mood it seemed when Cross told her to stop trying to get her 11 year old siter drunk. he wanted to let her calm down and let her leave and have some time alone while he hunted for something for his headache but from the sound of things outside and Mari's call shortly after he realised he was going to have to step in and take a more proactive solution to her attitude.

Pausing to root around in a container, Cross found a canister of the paint he had passed to Naisgrus earlier to mark her Zerg Brood and went outside to see Mari and Xel restraining Vania and one of the Chiefs mechanics holding a rag under his clearly blooded nose. Cross restrained a curse that would have made Vania proud and pinched the bridge of his nose in pain before he found an open space and crudely painted out a square on the floor, roughly ten feet on a side. not as straight as he would have preferred but good enough for his purposes.

"ENOUGH!" His voice bellowed out angrily, his full authority in his tone. both Terran and Protoss.

Striding over, Cross gripped Vania's cybernetic arm tightly and pulled her towards to newly painted out area, using her surprise and quick movements to keep her off balanced enough that she couldn't pull away until he pushed her into the ring "Take Mr Trent to get his nose checked out by the doctor please"

Stepping into the ring, Cross removed his jacket and holster and belt, dropping them outside the painted ring before turning to the angry girl screaming at him "BE QUIET!" he snapped

"Be quiet and listen Vania, I know why you are angry and you have every right to be, what Lily did was wrong and she is sorry, i am sorry for what happened to you too but this attitude of yours has got to stop. you have been dealt a bad hand in life for sure but guess what? your not the only one, so suck it up and deal with it. your angry? join the club! the universe doesn't revolve around you and doesn't owe you anything, get over yourself"

"You want to be angry at everyone and fight the world? fine..start with me. i'm the one your really angry at, i'm the one who is making you feel all these happy feelings, i'm the one who is giving you a family and a home and cares about you and you don't know how to deal with it so you lash out and pick fights. So pick one with me"

As he talks to the girl, he steps closer and pushes the girl, his hand flicking out faster than humanly possible, stopping by her face to gently slap her cheek before dancing back away. again and again, moving around her and taunting her to fight back and let out her emotions. Cross was always fast and light on his feet but his training with M'Lash to help him assimilate Ynorich's memories and martial training is making him even faster still, scary fast on his feet and reactions it seems, fast enough that even Vania's combat tracking cyber-ware can barely keep up.

"Go ahead girl, punch me, let it out already..we can't go on like this" his light humiliating taps to her cheeks continues, he can read her emotions in her eyes and knows she is fighting anger and sadness, knowing everything she has been through she is scared to care and needs a push to accept that someone cares, he knows she will break soon and lash out, fully prepared to take the beating she will start to give, his intention to avoid the blows thrown by her cybernetic arm and let the ones from her human arm connect, rolling with the blows and letting her use him as her punching bag both physically and emotionally

Yasir bin Abadard XXIV - Merchant of Death!
right-aligned image

Well! Thought Yasir to himself. THAT was something!
At a glance around, he could see that the others had not noticed his absence, assuming that he had physically left in the first place!
His new gifts were gaining some attention though.
He picked up the Helm of Pestilence, examined it for a moment, before placing it upon his head, his armour seemingly melding with it.
He gave the Gauntlet of Aspect the same scrutiny, before placing his right hand. Yasir could feel power coursing through the Gauntlet, and he resisted the strange urge to Snap his fingers!
Lastly, he picked up the Tome of Erthron.
What Dread Secrets that Mankind was not meant to know, do YOU contain? He wondered, before opening it up to discover for himself!

Cross - The **** kicked out of himAfter a bit of Cross harassing Vania he gets her to snap, a quick and hard right hook catching his jaw he has barely enough time to get his bareings and dodge her cybernetic arm he can feel it catching his hair. "You want the truth i'm mad at nobody I'm just a drunk washed up addict that was a test to see if enough cybernetics could grant endless life and guess what it does" as she rants Cross takes several blows to his chest and gut quickly realizing she's faster than even Ji'nara and is giving him a hard time blocking her cybernetics he takes two more hits before she continues "I will not have any more of those forsaken eldritch deities meddling in my life or with my new sisters head" yet again more hits too his chest and a swift roundhouse Cross barely saw coming as she talks at this point she stops hitting him and open her cybernetic arm withdrawing a stim that holds bright purple fluid terrazine pure in liquid form and in a dose that would kill nearly anyone but at this point several of the templar from Cross's guard intervene psionically holding her from using the stim but with only moments of success as hee force of will brings hell to bear. her glittering eyes now a flaming neon purple her cybernetic hand wreathed in pure psionic energy as it's ripped from the very planets living flesh "I spent so long alone and will not go back to it you as a hunter should know better than anyone how the loneliness is only worse with time" she then grabs his arms pulling him to knee his gut and then hit him in the back with paralyzing force her sheer speed and power here only possible with extreme psionic prowess. she then bends over whispering in his ear "you'll be able to move in roughly the net 2 minutes I won't use lethal force on my father but will not back away from a fight" she then picks him up sitting him in the Fob putting his jacket and holster next to him lily beating on her sister and crying cause she hurt Cross "i'm going to go beat on some zerg I saw nearby"and she leaves out the window Cross and all standing outside can see purple flashes and hear the screaming of zerg as the young girl rips through the horde

Yasir bin Abadard XXIV - On a Mission From Gods!
right-aligned image

Yasir stood up again.

"I should go out there too!" He says, smoothly. "There is a Foe out there, that I must Test my Abilities on!"

All of this was quite true, although the wily Merchant did not say precisely whose foe he was referring to!
He marched out to where the sounds of battle and the purple flashes were coming from.

Cross is incapacitated, and his "Daughter" is fighting Zerg by herself. I doubt that we will get a better chance than this! Thought Yasir, sending his thoughts into the sliver of the Warp that his Lord had granted him, the one where a Troop of fearsome Chaos Marines waited.
The Gods of Chaos demand this Woman! Take her to them! He Mentally Commanded, Drawing them forth from the Warp!
Once they appeared, Yasir got within 60' of the angsty cyborg with rage issues, and used his Telepathy Graft to shout:
"FROM BENEATH YOU, IT DEVOURS!" In a voice that he hoped sounded like that of Tzeentch, hoping to throw off her balance and make her easier prey for his Marines!

OOC
Actions: Call His Chaos Marines from The Warp.
-Second Action: Clever Feint against Vania (see below)
Dice Clever Feint - Bluff Check:
1d20+12 (5)+12 Total = 17

Dice CONVINCING LIAR (EX; BLUFF) Re-roll Check:
1d20+12 (8)+12 Total = 20

-Clever Feint (Ex)
As a standard action, you can fake out an enemy within 60 feet, making that enemy open to your attacks. Attempt a Bluff check with the same DC as a check to feint against that enemy (though this isnt a standard check to feint, so Improved Feint and Greater Feint don't apply). Even if you fail, that enemy is flat-footed against your attacks until the end of your next turn. If you succeed, the enemy is also flat-footed against your allies attacks until the end of your next turn. You can use clever feint against a creature that lacks an Intelligence score.

Chief MayfieldBart startles awake, straining to amble himself upright. The ocular implants fire up as he searches the tank's cabin, his sight calibrating as he would pull himself towards the dull banging. Mayfield pulls down the hatch ladder, his tungsten reinforced boot stomping on the first rung before he hoists himself upwards. He grasps tight the handle of the hatch, the seal hissing as that round lid lazily flips over. Bart's head juts out from the top of the siege tank, a deep grimace on his face.

"What?! What's the commotion? I told y'all to mind the drink. I don't need to handle another drunken brawl, dammit!"

The chief groans in pain as he plants his palms on the hull of the tank, pulling himself up from the open hatch. Bart sighs, feeling the crack of his back and shoulders, the engineer rolling over and sitting on that massive warmachine, his legs dangling over the side. First the tanker looks to Rohdenberry, assessing his condition before glancing at the others. His eyes were small ivory pinpricks set in his dark, hardened face, reaching to his breast pocket a smoke as he looks over the rowdy assembly. He mutters to Rohdenberry but keeps himself facing in the direction of the group.

"What's happening here? They get to the good stuff? Got a snag with payroll?"

Yasir - And Psionic hellAs Yasir makes his mental call he earns the aire of the drugged teen as she drives a spike into a ultralisk standing atop a pile of zerg corpses and as she looks down at him he sees her leather jacket torn and tattered her human arm had several acid spines sticking out, her grey undershirt now sports a hole in the center of her cleavage a black hole now seen where skin should be as she draws a glowing combat stim from the hole "Hahahahah" she burts out laughing one hand to her head "IT TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH KHORNE! and of all people a glorified merchant " she presses the stim to her neck her fiery psionic presence coming to bear coating her cyberarm fist in energy and her left eye burning purple the very flame made real as Vania fully finishes her adversary his marines arrive out of the warp armed with several weapons type ranging from a heavy plasma cannon to chainswords and most marvelous they bring with them is a hellbrute armed with a melta gun "OOOH I'm so scared of a hellbrute go back to your lord and save some lives for once" she draws a set of pistols from the hole "If not then the one left will be the mechant"and then the teen seemes to register the words that were spoken by Yasir and she glances down before leaping off the pile and landing on a marine who was charging her shooting him once ending his life "I estimate five bullets for the sword bearers and one for you ranged persons" she giggles at a joke not made before taking to nobody "of course we can't silly we arn't that cruel but we could be" as she ponders this she puts her guns away and the plasma cannon fires hitting her square in the chest as well as the remaining chaos marines charging her the smoke clearing to reveal that they cropped the bottom of her undershirt off and her skin restoring itself slowly from the burns as she takes several blows from roaring chainswords spilling blood and seeming to thrill the girl before she shakes them of and hitting one hard enough to dent their ceramite armor and the chaos librarian stood next to his leader invokes the warp healing the warrior and summoning several chaos spawn as the hellbrute unleashes a grenade barrage and lastly a heavy bolter roars sending a hail of supersonic lead at the teen


OOC about Yasir vs VaniaYasir is at no personal risk here in fact this is so he can test his new items and combat will alternate with actions in posts no inshitave necessary


CrossCross is unparalyzed as of Vania killing the first marine and may act whenever


Chief mayfieldMari looks at Mayfield "There ain't a snag with payroll just Cross's girl taking your boys tools and now knocking her father on his ass although it was rather fun--" she elbowed in the gut by Xel "Mari his intent was to lose even I can not compare to her. Mayfield Cross made breakfast how about we all go get some"

Yasir bin Abadard XXIV - Revengers...Assemble
right-aligned image

"Who better to strike a deal with, than a Merchant!" Came Abadard's mental reply, in the same tone as before.
That implant was handy, it allowed to to hold a conversation whilst doing other things, and what he was doing right now was running through the Tome of Erthron, whilst edging closer to the insane cyborg.
"And Khorne does not not demand this reunion alone. TZEENTCH also sends his greetings!"
At the word "Tzeentch", Vania was engulfed in searing blue flames!
Yasir knew that spell caused damage over time, so was good opening gambit, and a fair test of his new abilities.
Yasir hoped that she would not be overpowered too quickly, there were several other powers that he wanted to test out first.
"And when Tzeentch is done with you, Slaanesh and Nurgle would like a word too!"

OOC
Move Action: Move up to 30' away from Vania
Action: Cast Warp Flames at Vania

YasirThere is another giggle from the insane teen and she speaks in a shrill voice mixing with the giggling "This tickles are you really using warp magic or that flashy stuff those new people use"as the flames rage and burn her she reaches out grabbing a marine by the arm and ripping it off before shoving it down his throat killing him she then takes his sword and proceeds to eviscerate two more the blood covering her giving the flames a red hue and as she continues eviscerating the chainsword wielders Yasir's chaos librarian points out that her psionic energy is retrieving the slains gene seed keeping it pure but also desecrating it by harvesting it the wrong way "we must retrive their gene seed but the mission comes first please sir distract her and I will attempt a recovery"As the librarian proposes his idea Vania finishes with the last of the swordmen and moves onto fighting the chaos spwan as yet another hail of plasma, bullets and grenades pelt her with more insane giggling and yet more combat stims and a menagerie of drugs

Teen Angst
right-aligned image

For once the graft migraine was not an issue for Cross as he lay there propped up against the wall of the FOB, the issue was the severe pain radiating from everywhere else on his body. It had been a very long time since he had suffered a beat like that, his plan to get the girl to open up and express her emotions working a little too well and he had severely underestimated how fast she was, though if he was honest with himself it was more he had overestimated his own skills.

He opened his eyes to see Snowlily kneeling beside him crying, watching him with fear in her eyes, clearly wanting to hug him but afraid he was too hurt, that look in her face hurt him even more than the beating he had taken and with a soft smile he hid his pain as he opened his arms to the girl "Its ok little butterfly, no harm done..your sister and i were just sparing and i lost that's all"

Wrapping her in a hug he held Snowlily tight and rocked her as she cried and he felt the feeling returning to his legs, he would have to ask Vania where she had learnt that particular paralysing move. Outside he could hear the screams of Zerg, and the sounds of gunfire and shouting though he could not make out the words, the radios and electronics in the FOB were screaming bursts of static over and over, whatever was happening outside, clearly there was alot of warp manipulation going on which was a disconcerting thought.

It took several minutes for Lily to calm down enough to let go of Cross, his tiny arms bruising his aching ribs even more but he didn't tell her that or try to move her before she was ready, he was in no hurry though as it also took several minutes before he felt well enough to move, which he did, standing slowly and barely restraining a groan of pain, it would take several more minutes of walking and movement to work out all of the aches and kinks in his body.

A particularly loud and long burst of warp static over the radio caught his attention, clearly something major was happening outside and with Vania's current mood he was sure it wasn't good and she was involved. Cross grabbed his Anti-matter rifle and headed outside, seeing the look on Snowlily's face he paused and offered her his hand "Come on princess, lets go see what trouble your big sister has gotten into this time"

Leaving the FOB and cresting the hill, towards the sound of the skirmish, Cross was shocked at what he say, barely able to comprehend what he was seeing, More Imperium Marines had somehow appeared and were making an attempt on his others daughters life now, though she seemed to be handling them easily, her body covered in blood and flame, from the state of her clothing clearly some of it was hers but she fought on. Standing off to the side was Yasir, his new modified armour on display, Axe in one hand and what looked like an old book in the other.

The Marines appeared to be ignoring the Merchant, as if they didn't see him as a threat, but Yasir's actions seemed off, he couldn't quite understand what was going on. If he didn't know the man he would have said he was in league with the marines but he couldn't be. But why wasn't he defending Vania? Why weren't the marines attacking Yasir, he was clearly a threat with that unholy axe so close to their flanks?

So for moment all Cross could do was stand and watch wide eyed, trying to figure out what in the White was going on and what he should do

Yasir bin Abadard XXIV - Revengers...Assemble
right-aligned image

What the Warp is a Gene-seed? Wonders a bewildered Yasir, and then: "Distract her", how am I supposed to do that?
He considered the Spells in the Tome.
I supposed that one MIGHT work! She seems pretty strong, so it could completely rebound and affect ME instead! I'll have to risk it and hope for the....wait!
He could hear something approaching from the rear, so he looked to identify this potential, new threat.
More Zerg....? No, worse! It's Cross and Vania's adopted sibling. I can't let him get involved!
Thinking quickly, Yasir mentally called out.
"Stay back, Cross! A Great Threat has escaped from The Warp..." Not a lie, either the Chaos Marines Or Vania were a threat, depending on your point of view!
"...I am trying to contain it..." Again, not a lie.
"...Vania is perfectly capable of looking after herself right now!" Perhaps the most truthfully accurate thing that the wily Merchant had just said!
Concentrating, Yasir broke several Laws of Physics and called forth his Granted Sliver of his Lord's Domain, forming AROUND himself, the Chaos Marines, and Vania!

Yasir - inside his domainYasir folds space and time moving them all to his personal domain but rather than fear Vania laughs "You fool your master fears me and you bring me here where I have more power than him he wants me incapacitated so he can stop me from keeping my earned strength" she reaches in side the void of her chest drawing out a Khaydarin crystal but it's color is off rather than blue it's a deep black and metal orbits it forming a disc with twelve points and twelve glyphs the collected gene seed stowing away in the void of her chest she then clasps her hands together dispelling the chaos spawn and the flames prematurely. as the flames fade she sets her hands on her hips and her clothes are all but destroyed "tch these were my favorite leathers and nets" she waves her hands and a new outfit replaces it this time a cropped t-shirt styled to draw attention to the hole in her chest, cropped jean shorts are highlighted by a chain set from one pocket to the other wrapping around her backside,n her new look is rounded out by a curtain of black hair with specks of ever shifting color all throughout the crystal and it's apparatus sharing the same starry void look the last pice of the outfit is a set of thigh highs that mimic her hair heeled boots finishing the look. "Much better now that I'm dressed lets finish this" she claps and three quarters of his remaining force die instantly thier gene seed being collected by her psionic energy "also we should hurry before my dear adopted father decides to intervene here but as previously stated before my dear merchant you won't die but may question your allegiances"



Cross - less than idealCross crests the hill and before he knows a blood red dome is now present but every instinct he has tells him to walk through though his training tells him otherwise but he takes that critical step forward and finds himself and lily stood of to the side of the fight bound in place (make the check to be freed)


OOCto those who saw the original post that was meant to be a sort of place holder for that moment while i waited for Yasir as i responded to his question a bit late a night for me but he responded much quicker tha i thought kudos to you buddy

Helpless and Angry
right-aligned image

Cross heard the merchants words, something had escaped the warp and he and Vania were fighting it, clearly whatever it was had brought the Marines with it to cause chaos and mayhem but from the brief glance he had Yasir and Vania were making short work of the soldiers. But stay back? while his child was in danger? clearly the merchant underestimated his paternal instincts.

After the beating he had just taken, he was clearly aware of just how capable Vania was of dealing with any threat but that didn't mean she should have to deal with it alone, neither should Yasir. But before Cross could even take a step towards the others, the air in front of him shimmered and warped, his headache flaring and his radio screaming static as a huge blood red dome coalesed and appeared before of him and Snowlily, dropping over the battlefield and his other daughter without warning.

He knows intellectually that entering the dome is foolish, down right dangerous but his body moves without listening, his every instinct pulling him forward, his eyes tell him that the dome is impenetrable but he ignores them, he knows he can get inside, a fact proved right as he feels little resistance as his body pushes through the outer surface of the dome as if it was water, or more disconcertingly accurately as if it was warm blood.

Once passed the surface, Cross could see the battle playing out still on the other side, now cast in a red hue, Vania waving her arms and somehow manipulating the warp like she is some old earth fairy tale wizard, the flames surrounding her disappearing along with some hellish warp creature, standing practically naked for the briefest moment before another wave of her hands conjures up new clothes.

Her and Yasir appear to be talking to each other, but Cross finds he is unable to make out their words, something is holding him in place and everything is muffled and muted. He strains his body against whatever force is holding him but he is stuck fast and can do nothing more than fight against the hold this strange red place had on him as he watched Vania wave her hands and several of the Marines dropped to the floor, clearly dead as something was ripped from their chests by tendrils of psychic energy emanating from Vania and the void Black Crystal floating by her side.

Beside him Snowlily also appears to be bound in place, having followed him through the dome to rescue her sister, or to give her a beating in retaliation for the one Vania gave Cross he wasn't sure, for now though all he can do is watch the nightmare scene before him and scream out to his child

"VANIA!"

Yasir bin Abadard XXIV - Revengers...Assemble
right-aligned image

Yasir had cut Cross off from assisting Vania and put her in reach of his Master...or had he?
If anything, Vania's power seemed to INCREASE!
"You have "More power" than him here? How can that be? This is HIS Domain...isn't it?"
The damage he had done previously was little more than to her, and seemed to have been healed by her transformation.
Ok, desperate measures!
Reaching out with the powers of The Warp, he attempted to hold her in place!
Hopefully, it wouldn't rebound and hold him in place instead!
---------
Either way, he telepathically asks her:
"Why would I question my Allegiance? Just who, or what, ARE you Vania?"

OOC
Action: Cast Warp Hold on Vania
-hold any creature with at least 1 hit dice less than you if it has more than 2 hit dice than you you are held by the spell
