Who was there:Ami/Puck40, Michiru/MichiruLum, Haruka/HarukaYui, Setsuna/me, Hotaru/GothSaturn, Seiya/SeiyaOrion, Taiki/AlphaAlfa... don't think I missed anyone.
What Happened : Genrou bangs on the door and tells them to open it... at 5:30 AM. Haruka yells that it's already open and goes over to open it anyway. She scolds Genrou for being so loud since everyone's asleep, though he's awakened pretty much everyone already. Genrou reminds her that they're staying at his house and he tells them that breakfast will be ready in half an hour, then leaves. Haruka kisses Michiru and tells her she has a gift for zoning out((A gift? Sure, if that's what you wanna call it...)), and Michiru says she can't help it. Ami wakes up and comments that she never wakes up in the same place she fell asleep anymore. Haruka goes over to Setsuna and takes the small crystal Taiitsu gave her and says they need to get started on finding the scroll. Tomite agrees. Haruka tells Michiru to look for the scroll with her mirror, which she does, and a Kutou military encampment appears in the glass. Genrou comes back and scolds them for taking so long, so they all go to breakfast with the exception of Haruka, Tomite and Setsuna, who's still asleep((Well gee, we've had a few sleepless nights lately, so she has an excuse to sleep like a dead rock ;P)).
At breakfast, some guy comes in and does this.. thing, with himself... pretending he's two people have a... conversation. Genrou laughs and calls him a nutball, then the.. guy, comes back into reality and he and Genrou do this funky dance thing. He is Koji, Genrou's best friend and a serious flirt. He immediately starts hitting on Seiya, and Seiya has a hekuva time trying to prove he's a guy and not a girl, but with no luck. Koji departs, still believing that he has a chance with the feisty Seiyako...
Haruka and Tomite, doubtful of Michiru's mirror, call Taiitsu. They talk and iron out their plans: Seiryuu no Miko is in the military encampment, so some of the Seishi will go there to deal with her since she's still a threat. The others will head to Hokkan to look for the scroll. Taiitsu leaves and they rejoin the others for breakfast and lay out their plans. Ami looks for her computer, unable to find it, and Genrou takes it out of his pocket. Michiru offers to trade her earrings for it, then he takes Michiru's earrings out of his pocket as well. Haruka tells Genrou to give the computer back unless he wants to suffer the computer curse: getting haunted by Ami's dead grandparents. Of course Genrou doesn't want to be haunted by Ami's grandparents, and who would, so he gives it back. Setsuna joins them and Haruka decides to take her to the camp while the others go to the Hokkan mountains((note that no Genbu Seishi are accompanying them to the military camp...)). Meanwhile, Tomite says he can teleport the others to Hokkan because Taiitsu gave him a teleportation device. He, Genrou their guide, Usagi, Michiru, Hotaru, Ami, Seiya and Taiki teleport to the mountains, leaving the others locked safely in Genrou's house.
As Setsuna and Haruka journey to the camp, Setsuna comments on how quiet Haruka is. Haruka says she has a bad feeling about the camp and Setsuna asked why they need to go there. Haruka says it's to talk to Seiryuu no Miko. Setsuna stops dead in her tracks and says she has a bad feeling now too, but Haruka says everything will be okay. They continue and shortly after reach a light forest separating them and the camp. They stop, a moment of nervousness, and Haruka reassures Setsuna by saying they'll be all right, and Setsuna says she trusts her word. Setsuna makes her staff appear so she'll be ready for any threats. They continue into the forest and start telepathically communicating so no one can hear them, since the camp is guarded. Setsuna sees an unguarded area and begins leading them to it, but they stop as they notice two guards coming for them. Setsuna tells Haruka to pretend she's a deer and Haruka doesn't understand, so Setsuna says she'll explain later and instead tells Haruka to stay low and still. ((Ehh, just a joke, like how deer freeze really really still and won't move for the longest time if they think they're in danger)).
As the Hokkan troop goes on, a huge dark cloud forms over them and it starts raining. Genrou says he knows the cloud and tells everyone to take cover, but of course, no one does. Blue lightening strikes down, hitting Taiki((26 15 roll O.o)). Seiya and Usagi are hit next, then Taiki again((Who says lightening can't strike the same place twice?)), then Michiru and Hotaru. Those killer yoyo things strike out of nowhere and hit Genrou. By now, everyone thinks they'd better get out of there quick and make it to a cave. Taiki tries blocking the entrance with ice, but it tires him out too quickly and he's unable to do it, instead falls unconscious. So the cave stays unsealed and leaving them vulnerable as lightening crashes around the cave.
Meanwhile, Setsuna gasps as she feels the pain of Hotaru being hit by lightening, and Haruka claps her hand over Setsuna's mouth just in time to prevent the guards from hearing it. Haruka tells Setsuna they should attack, and Setsuna says that if they do more guards will come. Haruka says "Not if we do it the right way..." as they wait, Haruka accidentally rustles a few leaves and the guards hear it and approach them. Haruka tries grabbing Guard #2's staff and misses, so she just hops out and knocks his jaw off((Can we say 25 15 roll?)). The 1st guard attacks Haruka with his staff, misses, and Setsuna tries hitting him with her staff, missing horribly. Haruka kicks him in the shin((2 dam)) and the guard tells her it really hurt. Haruka grabs Setsuna and pulls her into a tent, a DARK one. Haruka gropes around for a light((Ooh, not groping around in Michiru's shirt for once...)) and bumps into something... or someone. She asks if it was Setsuna and she has no idea what she's talking about. Setsuna bats around in front of them with her staff, hearing a thud as it hits something. She steps back and the thing puts a sword to Haruka's back. Haruka tells Setsuna to go find Seiryuu no Miko and she'd join her shortly, so Setsuna runs into another tent, hoping to find Seiryuu no Miko but only finds a dark, but safe tent. So she stays there to wait for Haruka. The figure slashes at Haruka, cutting her cheek. Haruka fights the figure for awhile, but can't really do anything in the dark so she runs to another tent.. unfortunately, not Setsuna's. She crouches down and peers out the entrance, then hears someone say hello from behind her. She turns and sees some guy who asks what she wants. She says she wants to speak to Seiryuu no Miko and the guy says that no one can see her without HIS permission. Haruka asks who the guy is. He introduces himself as "Seiryuu Seishi Nakago."
Haruka remembers the name and telepathically screams for Setsuna. Nakago hears it((stupid demi god)) and asks her if she can use telepathy. Haruka says maybe, maybe not. Meanwhile, Setsuna hears her and picks up her staff and tries calling for Haruka. Since Nakago's figured her out, Haruka doesn't respond. Setsuna tries again, not wanting to run blindly into danger. Finally, she decides to just run out and find Haruka.
Nakago binds Haruka in the room and asks what she wants to talk to Seiryuu no Miko about, and Haruka says "None of your business!" Nakago replies "I make it my business." and blasts Haruka((44 44 hit)). Setsuna arrives in time to see Haruka being blown across the tent, and Setsuna flies at Nakago with her staff((2 23)), denting his armor. Nakago is obviously displeased with the greeting and binds Setsuna in the room as well, then asks her why they should want to see Seiryuu no Miko. Setsuna says that they want to help save their planets, and if they don't, everyone will die and the Miko won't be able to enjoy her wishes anyway. Nakago says that the Miko is just a pawn. Nakago prepares to blast Setsuna, but Haruka moves in front of her and is attacked instead((7 35, Haruka's down to 2)). Haruka drops to one knee and Setsuna forces herself to keep her focus off of Haruka and on Nakago. She attacks him with her Seishi power, a blast of hot wind((16 21)) and only dents his armour more. Nakago calls Setsuna annoying and blasts her across the room((62 62 hit, Sets has 1 HP!)). Setsuna crumples to a heap on the ground, terrible wounded, and her staff clammers to the ground((meanwhile the muns have a short conversation about how 6+6 does not equal 13)). Haruka forces herself up, hissing "You....incredible... kisama..." and punches Nakago((21 15)). Haruka demands to talk to Seiryuu no Miko. Nakago looks at her calmly and blinks, giving his and Haruka's shot. Blue chi hits Haruka's chest((54 49)) and she flies into the tent side and slides to the ground... dead.
Nakago stands up((we got beat up by a guy sitting down?!)), and Setsuna forces herself up as well, tears streaming down her face from pain. She tells Nakago to either kill her or let her talk to Seiryuu no Miko. Nakago takes the second option and leaves to get his Miko. Setsuna then collapses to the ground and checks Haruka's pulse, feeling nothing, and realizes she's dead. More tears flow down her face. Seiryuu no Miko((Yui)) walks in and asks Setsuna what she wants. Setsuna tells her that they're on a mission to save China and Earth, and if they don't succeed, the two will collide and be destroyed. If this happens, Yui won't be able to live her wishes, so she might as well help them. Yui is very skeptical and asks who Setsuna is. She says she's a Byakko Seishi and that she's from Earth, just like Yui. Yui's still skeptical and calls Setsuna's explanation crazy. Setsuna pleads more, but with no luck, as Yui calls her a liar and runs out. Nakago returns, and Setsuna, given up, tells Nakago he can kill her. Nakago tells her that he'll let her live. Setsuna asks why and Nakago tells her to give her "little friends" a message: "Stay away from Seiryuu No Miko. Or end up... ::points at Haruka:: Like that." Setsuna says that that's no use, because her friends will come back anyway. Nakago ignores her and leaves((Oh right, I've got 1 HP and I'm supposed to climb a mountain to get back to Genrou's place?!)). Haruka's body fades away, leaving only her sword, so Setsuna picks it up, dismisses her staff, and heads back to Genrou's house.
Meanwhile, Michiru wakes up and asks Tomite what happened, and he tells her the storm thing. Michiru comments about how bad Taiki has been hit, wondering how a storm could do that, and if Taiki was holding a metal rod. Tomite says he was just born under an unlucky star, then some A 1 guy comes in and says "Just like you." The Seishi soon find out that A 1 hasn't been visiting Gallagher's on a regular basis as he attacks Tomite... really bad though((9 8.. oh THAT'LL leave a mark...)). Tomite counters with frozen arrows((7 25)) and A 1 attacks again, missing. A 1 is just about dead, but still attacks, so Michiru does her "power thing" at A 1((14 20)) killing him. A 2 comes up as well as A 3. They're both just really really bad and get killed plenty easy by Michiru, Taiki and Tomite. Taiki's still in bad shape though and way exhausted, and he collapses.
Setsuna reaches the top of the mountain and collapses to her knees from exhaustion, but she stays awake to call Michiru telepathically. Koji finds her sitting there and asks what she's doing, and she replies that she's dying. Koji helps her into her house and gets some medicine to try and help her. Setsuna refuses the help, and Koji says he won't let a beauty like her die on him. Finally Setsuna admits that she's a nurse and tells him how to apply some ointment, but won't do anything else, so he tries her best to bandage her anyway, though it's really pitiful((Sets' gonna have to take those off later...)).
Meanwhile, in talking to Michiru, Setsuna continuously apologizes as she tells Michiru that Haruka's dead. Then she tells her of Nakago's threat, and Michiru tells Tomite, and Tomite says they'd better stay away from Seiryuu no Miko and concentrate on the scroll. Setsuna says she'll join them soon and uses her staff to make a portal, teleporting to them.
Tomite nearly has a heart attack from seeing the portal open from nowhere and Setsuna apologizes, then gives Michiru Haruka's sword. They discuss going to find the scroll now, and Setsuna offers to come, but Tomite immediately shoots that down since she's so hurt. Tomite asks why he didn't just go ahead and kill her, and Setsuna says she doesn't know, admitting that she asked him to though he didn't. Tomite glares at Setsuna, asking if she gave up, and Setsuna can't reply. Tomite then turns his attention to the sword and says that the reason it didn't disappear with Haruka might be because it has chi left in it. Again they try and decide whether to leave now or wait until morning to give everyone else a chance to rest. Setsuna refuses to stay in the cave((Not that she wants to leave Hotaru unprotected, but c'mon, you'd get a little insecure too after nearly being killed...)). Tomite says Setsuna's in no condition to make the journey and Michiru tells her to stay and protect Hotaru, but Tomite decides anyway that they should wait until morning. Michiru volunteers to keep watch during the night, since she's the least injured, so Tomite goes immediately to sleep. Setsuna, unable to sleep, sits and talks to Michiru awhile, and they watch the still falling rain outside.
