Teddylot and his barrel finally rolled to a stop a few feet away from Kirbynite.
Teddylot: B-but ... But I'm going to need at least a minute. |

Kirbynite: Reset? What're you talking about?! You expect me to wait for that slim chance of time being rewound?! I'm not gonna wait.. that long.. Romani... Romani... She..
Kirbynite's eyes widen up. Another blockade in his mind had opened up.
Kirbynite: She was... She was my... she.. was like my little sister?
Kirbynite was struggling to put his fuzzy memory together. In the next moment, he turned to Teddylot, and flailed his arms.
Kirbynite: I am not going to wait 'till dusk. Who knows what damage those freaks could do to Romani.
The Dreamlander holds out his sword and points north east.
Kirbynite: Romani mentioned something about ghosts in Ikana. Their spaceships looked rather haunted to me. And so, I conclude that they headed to Ikana, and it's gotta be over in that direction. I'm not gonna wait for you guys to decide if you're gonna come along. |

Teddylot: *still rolling* We could always "reset," I guess ... or maybe wait 'til next dusk when they come again. |

Teddylot: *pops up from out of the barrel* You found me! 
...
Teddylot turned his head in every which direction, looking for the source of the silence. His motions became so frantic that the barrel he was in tipped over and started to roll its way toward Kirbynite's feet with his head still sticking out of the top.
Teddylot: *still rolling* Well ... at least the balloons are gone. |

((Teddylot's always so stylish  ))
It was almost time for the sun to give relief to the weary heroes. Kirbynite had a small grin on his face as he finished up a few stray aliens.
Kirbynite: Just a few more minutes...... Wait a minute.. isn't there some space between the ranch boundary... and the back of their house..?
The Dreamlander turned around. He looked up and noticed JD's sniping position. He looked down and noticed Teddylot's barrel.
Kirbynite: .... No! Neither of them can spot one that tries to--
The barn roof exploded out into the air, with debris falling everywhere. A pillar of light extended out from the inside of the broken structure. Kirbynite rushed to the barn door, and began banging on the door.
Kirbynite: Romani! Open up! Romani! Romaniii!
Kirby didn't get any response. He could hear frantic mooing, cuccos clucking like crazy, and the sound of a bow string being strung.
Romani: There's just too many of them!
Kirbynite: Romani! I'm gonna break down the door! Stan--
The Dreamlander was interupted when he saw a bunch of cows floating up the beam of light. A shriek echoed throughout the ranch as Romani's squirming body floated upward.
There was another flash of light, and the beam was gone. The cows and Romani was gone. All was left was the glowing object in the sky.
Kirbynite: Hey! Let them go! Damnit!
All of the aliens in the ranch disappeared in an instant. The glowing object hovered for a few more moments, and then shot off to the eastern skies.
Kirbynite stood there, with a gaping jaw.
Kirbynite: .... Romani.. |

After the first couple hours, Teddylot had tired down a bit and decided to be more conservative with his actions, so that he could stick it out through the rest of the night. He used a barrel as a bunker and shot at the aliens with a blaster of his, trying to pop them. If any of the monsters came within poking range, Teddylot would pull out his staff to knock it away. |

Kirbynite: Nice job, Cy-- er Gutsy.
This went on for several hours. Aparantly, everyone was quite caught up with the slaughtering of balloon shaped aliens.
Kirbynite: Oh yeah, we're supposed to figure out a plan to stop them from respawning.
Kirbynite walked over to the barn, and knocked on the door.
Kirbynite: Um... "They"... only come at night, right?
Romani: Yessum.
Kirbynite: Alright... Good. Thank you. *walks back* Ok, guys. we just gotta keep this up for one more hour. The sun should be up soon. |

Teddylot fired one shot from his photon cannon, taking out a slew of the aliens, then jumped off the building to join the fray, leaving his weapon on the roof for anybody who might want it. He pulled out from his pocket an ordinary-looking staff, then after giving it a strong twirl around his hand, its tip had become equipped with a stop sign. With his adaptable weapon, Teddylot took on any alien that came his way, changing it's tip from time to time. |

JDavis: Forget waiting 'til they get closer, I just got a scope for this sucker the other day. *snipes a couple aliens*
Gutsman placed his left hand on his right arm just above the base of the buster to help steady his aim. He then closed his left eye in an exagerated (and unnecisary) squint and began taking the aliens out form a distance as well.
Gutsman: Booya!
JDavis: ... Booya?  |

Kirbynite: Holy cucco! Kalar!
Kirbynite pulled out a star shaped object. Assuming he wouldn't be able to call down a Warp Star, he resorted to using a disposable one manufactured by his genius pal, Gooey. He tossed the object into the ground, causing a yellow puff of smoke to pour out. A star shaped object, slightly wider than Kirbynite himself, appeared.
The Dreamlander hopped onto the Warp Star and pulled on one of the starry tips. Kirbynite zoomed towards Kalar, and grabbed the scythe wielder's arm. Kalar was pulled out of the tractor beam, and was released in front of the barn.
Kirbynite: Looks like we can't go spawn camping. We're gonna have to avoid approaching those lights those guys are coming out of... So.. I guess we're gonna have to wait for them to get close so we can take care of them....
As he said that, he blessed his sword with fire, and swung at a nearby alien. The alien dissipitated into nothingness
Kirbynite: They're not attacking us, yet they keep coming... |

Kalar: "Pssh! You call that an attack?"
Only bolstering his already-overinflated coolness factor, Kalar leapt into the air toward a pair of the poe-like creatures and retaliated by spinning around viciously with his scythe in a manner similar to a certain green-clad warrior's recovery maneuvers, complete with slight gyroscopic tilts. The name, however, was not ripped off.
"Cyclone!!!"
Ok, well, maybe it was. In any case, the two creatures burst into flames and burned into nothingness as they fell from the ground. As Kalar landed gracefully on one knee, a light appeared above him, and he lifted off of the ground, caught in some kind of alien tractor beam type thing...
"I... wha... GAH! HELP!" |

More and more balloon shaped aliens poured out of the spawning lights. There didn't seem to be a pattern to how they appeared; "They" just continued to pour out.
Kirbynite gripped his sword and charged forward. He had a great deal to run since the aliens strangely were not spawning next to the barn. The figure of the intruders became more and more visible. Yellow eyes, dark bodies, poe-like figures and wardobe, and a strange, glowing, red symbol hidden under the head ornament.
With a mighty swing from the pink pugilist's sword, Kirbynite lunged at one of the shadowy creatures. He landed with one hand on the ground while the arm with the sword stuck out behind him, attempting to raise his cool factor.
Kirbynite: Heh...... .... wait a minute. *turns head* It didn't die?
He noticed the alien continued to move. Perhaps his strike wasn't strong enough?
Kirbynite: That's it. Slash N' Dash!
The pink Dreamlander held out his weaponless arm and began to concentrate. A white, elemental aura started to flow out from beneath Kirbynite. He then gripped his blade with both hands and leaned forward. The aura dissipiated as his feet flew from the ground. In what seemed to be a heartbeat's moment, Kirbynite struck down the ghost-like creature while landing with another cool pose. The creature erupted in flames and quickly disintegrated. |

Kalar: "Oh, please.... Don't tell me none of you can jump!"
He hefts the massive scythe from off of his back, and crouches at the sight of the lights.
"Oh, one last effect."
He straightened, turned his scythe around in his hands, pressed a small button on it, and activated the built in MP3 player. Suddenly, the X-Files theme began blaring around the ranch. Kalar crouched back down, and got ready to rumble.
"Let's rock." |

JDavis: Mine can minipulate the very fabric of time and space if I so choose... I just usually don't so choose, because I'm not into the whole god-moding thing.
Meanwhile, still on the ground, Gutsman had changed back into his robotic form and switched his arm into buster mode.
Gutsman: It's bustering time! |

Teddylot left the solid ground himself and followed JDavis up the ladder. He situated himself, surrounded by an artificial bunker, on top of the roof next to his castor rifling friend. The bear thenreached into his pocket to pull out an oversized photon cannon. Teddylot looked at JDavis's rifle, then at his cannon ... rifle ... cannon ... rifle ... JDavis.
Teddylot: Mine's bigger. |

Kirbynite spun around as JDavis sped past him. Kirby stumbled around before he managed to regain himself.
He looked around and noticed there were pillars of light spawning out of random places in the ranch. Kirbynite unsheathed his sword and squinted his eyes.
Kirbynite: They.. don't look like Grays... They... look rather balloon like... Like... Mutated Poes... No matter, they're going down with a little spawn camping. |

At the sight of the light, the horse neighed loudly and reared up on its hind legs. This caused Guts, who had fallen asleep before he could get the horse to stop running around, to fall off with a loud "THUD!"
Guts: Ow 
JDavis: It's a trap! *pulls out his phaser rifle* To the roof! *begins climbing a ladder leading to the roof of Romani and Cremia's house* |

Kirbynite: .... is the sun coming up?
Unfortunately for Kirbynite, he was dead wrong. A very bright light hovered above the center of the ranch. The Dreamlander squinted his eyes to see what the source was, but the light was sucking up any possible reflections.
Kirbynite: No way.... It can't possible be... one of those phatasmic ships I've heard from in those childhood stories.. |

OOC:  I just realized that we're doing the absolute wrong quest that I had in mind right now... I need to remember what we're supposed to be doing right now, I thought this was the thing with the milk... |
