Aero (00:01:14): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
Aero (00:04:21): JAPAN, Monster Attack Central. The Unity Group has been invited to join in on a massive meeting of machines. This entire gathering was apparently put together by a UN Official from the Yokohama Base. An entire coastline has been occupied by these machines and you all just landed in some sort of Robot haven. There seems to be hundreds of machines throughout the area. Super Robots, Real Robots, whoever put this together probably invited the entire world. So what's going on with all of you?
Ishikar3 (00:05:24): Yuuya "This is not what I thought was going to happen when there were rumors of an operation going on in the area"
tengusaur (00:05:55): Well, all this spotlight means Asagi is getting stressed as hell and his stomach ulcers start to murder him! Also...
VJockey (00:05:58): Leos: "But it looks like fun though! Look at all these robots!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:06): Denzel: "Look good, everyone. Time to show the Glory Stars' best side."
Ginkan SK (00:06:25): Russel "This is quite the formation unitsl. We should get some really good training time in here. So lets put forth our best."
tengusaur (00:06:26): Asagi: (Yuuya carefully omitted from the transmission) "Why is this guy here, if he hates Japan so much...?"
Meraxa (00:06:37): Ken's somewhat annoyed that this had to cut into his training, but then, early days, so its not like he's lost much either. He stays plenty away from particular parts of present company, and instead sticks to those he better knows. "You sound like a kid at the toy shop Leos."
Ishikar3 (00:06:39): VG "Man it was hard enough being popular before, I'm going to have to hire bodyguards after this"
VJockey (00:06:45): [The unbalanced AC pilot would be bouncing around his cockpit like a hyperactive bunny in the Jenice he appropriated.]
TormTerra (00:06:54): Kei was doing Kei like things on the eve of a conflict. Which meant having purple-2 float there and trying to get as much information as possible in advance to reassure herself and make her work easier for the upcoming training exercise. She really hoped it would be better than her last one. "I don't know...Why does he even hate Japan?"
VJockey (00:07:08): [Had he not been strapped in.]
Aero (00:07:54): You're all hailed by the Command Post.
Aero (00:07:56): Command Post: "Ah you must be the Unity Group, your match has already been scheduled. It's over by the valley over there."
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:06): Setsuko: "I did not expect so many various models..." She does not like the crowds much, but on the other hand she looks around with curiosity.
TormTerra (00:08:07): Kei: (To Asagi only) "And why is Leos here? He shouldn't be anywhere near politing..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:11): "The variety is staggering."
tengusaur (00:08:20): Asagi: "Because some Japanese people were horrible to him. Why not ask him yourself? Or better yet, don't..."
tengusaur (00:08:51): Asagi: "Ehe... I wonder too..." Sweatdrop. Yeah, he's the one who suggested Leos can get his AC back by piloting something else after all.
Ishikar3 (00:09:08): Stella "Alright people, let's not keep our opponent waiting."
TormTerra (00:09:29): Kei: "I see..." (To everyone) "And there really is a lot of variety...Even trying to figure out what they all are is quite a job."
Ginkan SK (00:09:34): Russel's Machine is in it's type C config for heavy weapon support from the looks of it and he was now going over a data pad checking over the jobs the techs have done on it.
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:41): Toby: "Exactly! Politeness means you're always on time."
Meraxa (00:10:52): Ken simply sighs, shakes his head, and then moves his Genoace along towards the valley. "Wonder who we'll face..."
Aero (00:11:16): When you arrive to the designated combat zone it seems...rather isolated from the rest of the events. In fact the only person there is a purple haired woman in a lab coat waving you in.
Aero (00:11:26): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121225061017/muvluv/images/8/84/Rebirth_34.png
Ishikar3 (00:11:54): Yuuya "What on earth does she want here?"
VJockey (00:11:56): "Eh?"
tengusaur (00:12:00): Asagi: "...She's not our opponent, is she?"
VJockey (00:12:08): [Wasn't that Shu person a guy?]
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:18): Setsuko: "On foot...?"
TormTerra (00:12:19): Kei: "She can't be...So what does she want?"
tengusaur (00:12:42): Asagi: "After all the craziness I've seen lately, I can't be sure anymore."
VJockey (00:12:44): "Where's the bird?"
Ishikar3 (00:12:48): Stella "Well we've seen plenty of crazy things already, lte's not judge too quick"
VJockey (00:13:08): "Doesn't Mr Shirakawa have a bird with him? A talking one? That's what I heard."
VJockey (00:13:18): "Or... is it Miss Shirakawa?"
Meraxa (00:13:25): Ken: Leos, just because she has purple hair doesn't mean she's... that guy.
cubey@aol.pl (00:13:31): Setsuko: "Umm, Leos, I don't think that's Shu Shirakawa."
VJockey (00:13:52): "...EH?!"
TormTerra (00:13:54): Kei: "You're right." She sounded rather resigned about the truth of Asagi's comment
VJockey (00:13:58): "But... she looks just like him!"
Aero (00:14:00): Yuuko: "Oh! So he is alive then. That's good, here I thought they were joking when they said he was alive"
Aero (00:14:10): She's pulled out a large megaphone.
Meraxa (00:14:18): Ken: ...I can name at least two reasons why she doesn't.
Ginkan SK (00:14:30): Russel at mention of Shu grimaces he's not forgot the brawl with Grandzon.
Ishikar3 (00:14:57): VG: quietly "Well small reasons compared to Venus"
TormTerra (00:15:00): Kei: Somehow she managed to project an angry glare at Ken over the radio. Don't ask how that works, but it does
Aero (00:15:03): The command tent is apparently right next to her.
VJockey (00:15:16): "Eh? Reasons?"
Aero (00:15:17): How did that get up so quickly?
Ishikar3 (00:15:40): Stella "What was that VG?"
griefgathering (00:15:51): In case you're wondering, Seta has been around but quiet all this time because all the robots and people. This has absolutely nothing to do with her player debating on who to send still, not at all.
cubey@aol.pl (00:15:52): Denzel: "As you can see and hear, the Unity Group team has arrived. So, who's our opponent?"
Aero (00:16:36): Yuuko: "They should be coming right now."
Aero (00:17:00): Indeed there are 7 signatures all rapidly approaching you.
tengusaur (00:17:37): Asagi: "Just 7? We have a number advantage."
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:39): Toby: "That few? They're taking us pretty lightly, aren't they?"
VJockey (00:17:58): "They're kinda fast though.."
Meraxa (00:18:08): Ken: Could always be they're that confident...
Aero (00:18:14): [Enemies: Rein, Wahr, Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai]
Shiranui:http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111222073701/muvluv/images/4/49/TYPE_94_SHIRANUI.png
Fubuki:http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110811022753/muvluv/images/1/1d/TYPE_97_FUBUKI.png
Grungust Kai:http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121210032912/superrobotwars/images/4/42/Grungust_Kai_OG.jpg
Ishikar3 (00:18:23): Yuuya: "Or Arrogant"
TormTerra (00:18:30): Kei: "Maybe they want us to help train them, not the opposite."
Aero (00:18:58): Next to the TSFs and the Super Robot are two NEXTs.
Ishikar3 (00:18:58): Yuuya: "Wait? Japanese TSFs with a Grungust?"
tengusaur (00:19:03): Asagi: "That one is big..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:27): Setsuko: "A super robot and Armored Cores, side by side with TSFs?"
Aero (00:19:30): Primo: "Pfffffttt these are our opponents? Little girls and kids? Where are all the men?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:33): This is starting to sound like a mini-Unity Group.
VJockey (00:19:38): "... I'm a man!"
Aero (00:19:48): Irm: "Yo Russel, long time no see."
Ishikar3 (00:19:52): Yuuya: "Guess the UN isn't the only one raring for combined arms"
Meraxa (00:19:56): Ken: ...Excuse me...?
TormTerra (00:20:11): Kei: "It does...Maybe Yuuya's right. Or perhaps it's some other branch of the UN."
tengusaur (00:20:22): Asagi: "There are no little kids here!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:34): Toby: "Hey now, is that really the introduction you want to be remembered by?"
VJockey (00:20:34): "Yeah!"
TormTerra (00:20:41): Kei: "And hopefully no psychopaths either."
Meraxa (00:20:47): Ken: You two are not helping the case.
griefgathering (00:21:00): Seta: "....Perhaps it was a bad idea to have me here..."
Ishikar3 (00:21:33): Stella: "Don't worry so much about it, it's just a training mission so take it in stride and if you need help leave it to us."
cubey@aol.pl (00:21:48): Setsuko: "Don't say that, I'm sure we can work together."
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:03): She says while pondering how will Seta actually fight here.
Ginkan SK (00:22:14): Russel "Combined arms is never a bad thing wwhen it comes to coperation. LEt's see what they can do, shall we?"
griefgathering (00:22:52): Good thing to think about because she's still on foot. Staying waaaayyy back though.
griefgathering (00:23:13): And by that I mean about a quarter of a mile back.
Ishikar3 (00:23:14): Yuuya: "Well don't count on the Fubukis to do to much, I flew one of those and the thing's like tap dancing on ice."
Aero (00:23:19): The Shiranui Pilot pipes up. "I apologize for the behavior of my 'allies' " She's taking time to directly communicate with you at least. She looks like this. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110907172634/muvluv/images/5/55/Isumi.png
VJockey (00:23:39): "..."
Aero (00:24:04): Fubuki Pilot: "Considering that they're being partnered up with a bunch of girls."
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:12): Denzel: "Don't worry about it. Unity Group has all kinds of characters, too."
tengusaur (00:24:19): Asagi: "I preemptively do the same." Thinking about you, Leos.
Ishikar3 (00:24:34): VG: "Wow, talk about a beautiful woman, another goddess of battle like our Venus here perhaps?"
TormTerra (00:24:46): Kei: "Do you ever talk about anything else, VG?"
VJockey (00:24:53): "But wouldn't tap dancing on ice mean that they're really skilled?"
Aero (00:25:03): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Look at that Lieutenant Irm, they have someone just like you on the other side"
Ishikar3 (00:25:30): Yuuya: "No it means you can't hold a course for a damn."
Ginkan SK (00:25:34): Russe" "Irm? It's been a while, your dad doing all right?"
Ishikar3 (00:25:53): VG: "sure I do, you just haven't seen it"
VJockey (00:26:16): "Oh, okay."
Aero (00:26:27): Irm: "The old man is still the same as always." Which means like Irm and VG of course.
TormTerra (00:26:29): Kei: "Right." That was one flat tone
Aero (00:27:09): Fubuki Pilot 1:http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120917224253/muvluv/images/9/96/Hayase_Pilot_suit.png
Aero (00:27:19): Fubuki Pilot 2:http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110906074259/muvluv/images/1/10/Trollakata.jpg
Aero (00:27:27): Fubuki Pilot 3:http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110906230435/muvluv/images/6/6a/Fight18.png
VJockey (00:27:37): Lana: "Pilots Kugimiya and Bridges. A moment of your time?"
TormTerra (00:27:45): Kei: "Yes?"
Ishikar3 (00:27:57): Yuuya: Yes?
VJockey (00:28:13): Lana: "Make sure Leos doesn't somehow kill himself in this training exercise."
VJockey (00:28:22): Lana: "That is all."
Ishikar3 (00:28:28): Yuuya: "Like that even needs to be said"
TormTerra (00:28:29): Kei: "Understood...Do you even know who let him out there?"
tengusaur (00:28:30): Asagi: "That's a big responsibility."
Meraxa (00:28:34): Ken: And of course, the ones calling us girls are actually female themselves.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:45): Setsuko: "That was just that one pilot..."
tengusaur (00:28:46): (nah Ken, it was someone else)
VJockey (00:28:47): Lana: "I am still looking into the matter."
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:54): She hoeps the other LYNX is less of a jerk actually.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:57): *Hopes
VJockey (00:29:03): Leos: "I can hear you all..."
VJockey (00:29:09): [SADFAIS]
Aero (00:29:18): The other Lynx isn't saying anything.
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:21): Toby: "That means everyone cares for you Leos, you should be happy!"
VJockey (00:29:34): Leos: "...Oh....you're right!"
VJockey (00:29:47): [And he's back to his usual happy self. Thanks Toby!]
Aero (00:29:47): Yuuko: "Alright then, if you're done with the prematch trashtalk we can get this started."
tengusaur (00:29:51): Asagi: "He's so easy to cheer up..."
Aero (00:30:06): Yuuko: "Reeaaadddyyy FIGHT!" Yeah she's having too much fun with this.
Aero (00:30:07): [Initiative: Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko, Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos]
Aero (00:30:16): [Russel, Kei, Asagi, gooooo]
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:17): Denzel: "Alright guys. Cut the chat, time to blow this joint!"
VJockey (00:30:21): Lana: "Good luck Leos." [and she's out.]
Meraxa (00:30:41): Ken: ...Right, right...
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:49): The Glory Stars get in formation.
griefgathering (00:31:08): Seta: "I will support you...from here."
Ishikar3 (00:31:53): Yuuya: Argos-1 to to flight, let's get those Fubuki's suppressed first and leave the walking targets to the others for now
Ginkan SK (00:31:53): *Russel: Knows just what a problem Irm can be in a fight. "Right then shall we get to it?" Russel is being a bit more agressive than normal. For he's going right for Irm and opening fire with his gatling after Irm. He seems almost excited he'd never really got a chance to test him self against Irm back in the old days. He as eager for the chance now and away he goes opening fire. "Let's do this!" Yes even Russel can get fired up once and a while.+
VJockey (00:32:02): [Leos smiles as he moves into position with Setsuko's little group of friends.]
tengusaur (00:32:06): * "Let's see how good that mech can do against fliers!" Asagi takes off into the skies, taking the lead in the attack. He circles around the enemy group and fires several controlled bursts from his heavy machinegun, aiming at the Grungust! +
TormTerra (00:34:08): *"Try to keep your distance from the big one, it doesn't appear very mobile, but its size makes it dangerous if you get in range. Glory Stars, coordinate with Argos Flight to cut one of the TSF's off from its formation, between your combined firepower it should be possible. Then use the opening to hit it before they manage to lay down suppression fire in response."+
Ishikar3 (00:34:56): Stella: "Already thinking like a TSF ace there Kei."
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:21): Denzel: "Sounds like a plan. Ready, guys?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:34): Setsuko: "Y, yes, Chief!"
Ishikar3 (00:35:35): Yuuya: "Just try to keep up old man."
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:55): Denzel: "I'm not even 40!"
VJockey (00:36:08): "Really?!"
Aero (00:36:10): [Asagi and Russel] "Oi oi oi come on, you should know that this is a Super Robot." The gatling and heavy machine shots barely scratch the paint of the Super Robot. The missile rack on top of the machine opens up and it unleashes a storm of missiles at the two smaller machines. [React Russel and Asagi]
VJockey (00:36:13): "I thought-..."
VJockey (00:36:17): "Um... nevermind..."
Ishikar3 (00:36:22): Yuuya: "Section chief makes you old man, I'm just flight lead."
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:27): Toby: "I'd stop right there if I were you Leos."
VJockey (00:36:38): " 'kay."
Aero (00:37:03): [Take Kei actions plz]
tengusaur (00:37:24): * Asagi: "I know that. That's why I'm engaging you first!" Time for some quick dodging, combined with a few short bursts towards the incoming missiles in an attempt to shoot them down before they reach Blue One! +
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:37): Toby: "Sorry about that, flight leader. Here we go!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:49): Denzel: "Fire, fire!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:06): Setsuko: "Gung ho, gung ho, gung ho!" It was supposed to sound hot blooded but, you know, it's Setsuko.
Ishikar3 (00:38:43): *Yuuya kicks into the lead with Tarisa right behind. VG and Stella take up sweeping cover positions as they begin to drive a wedge to push the TSFs towards more open terrain.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:44): *The three Virgola units charge forward and spray a lot of ray pistol blasts into the air, trying to seperate the Shiranui from the rest of the TSFs.+
Aero (00:38:52): [Asagi] The missiles are shot down, but suddenly, another barrage of fire comes from the Rein. "COME ON KID, SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT." There's just a storm of bullets coming from the two chainguns on the machine. [React]
Meraxa (00:39:09): Ken: Setsuko, thats not really the kind of thing you yell out.
Ishikar3 (00:39:25): Yuuya: "Push them into the open, don't let them get into terrain that's too dense or they'll make life hell for targeting them."
griefgathering (00:39:51): Seta (to Ken): It isn't?
TormTerra (00:39:58): Kei: "Just let her shout it."
Ishikar3 (00:40:40): Stella: laughing "Sure why not, it's certainly a nice addition to her character."
Meraxa (00:41:18): Ken: If you have to yell anything, its either a declaration, or the name of an attack! Thats the rules!
TormTerra (00:41:49): Kei: "You yell whatever helps you focus...And why would you ever even /name/ your attacks?"
tengusaur (00:42:00): * Asagi: "I'm not a kid!" Well, he can't shoot the bullets down, but he can get quickly behind the cover of some nearby rocky cliffs! And Blue One still has its shields. +
Meraxa (00:42:11): Ken: ...Do you know nothing of Super Robots?
Ishikar3 (00:42:36): Tarisa: "What are you talking about Ken? You really think yelling loudly is going to make your attacks better? It's all about focus!"
TormTerra (00:42:39): Kei: "Izuru is the one who's all about super heroes."
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:39): Setsuko: "Can... we leave this for later?" Her allies' comments leave her sweating more than the actual exercise.
Aero (00:42:41): Irm: "It's a man's pride!"
Meraxa (00:43:01): Ken: This guy gets it! Plus! A lot of them use it for the controls!
Ishikar3 (00:43:13): Yuuya: "Is this a military unit or a kindergarten..."
VJockey (00:43:34): "...I thought it was more a high school!"
VJockey (00:43:42): [Totally not helping.]
Meraxa (00:44:06): Ken: If it were, Kaname wouldn't complain so much.
Ishikar3 (00:44:15): Yuuya: "Leos.... just focus on what your doing alright?"
VJockey (00:44:55): " 'kay!"
Aero (00:46:21): [Argos Flight and Glory Stars] "Don't break formation, we need to show the Unity Group the pride of the Valkyrie Squadron." The Fubuki in the back with a large shield storms forward tanking most of the shots for the Shiranui while the others follow behind it. "There's a name for attacks involving three of the same units isn't there?" "Oh shut up and concentrate Munakata!" As for the shots from the TSFs well...remember how the Fubuki totally sucked with it's movements when you piloted it Yuuya? It's not doing it now, they have no problems evading the heavy fire. There's also a very large sniper rifle round coming towards the Shiranui Second. [React Yuuya]
Ginkan SK (00:46:29): *russel knows Irm, he knows Irm's machine and how he fights he intends to make use of what he knows and hopefully keep Irm and his machine's busy. "I know it's as dangerous as your love for women is strong." Russel's not shocked about his weapons not doing much and he contiunes ot try to keep the other machine busy, however there are misses. Russel pops off a chaff and also attemps to shoot the missiles down with his m90.+
griefgathering (00:46:35): All this talk about name calling has officially decreased Seta's morale...by 20.
Aero (00:46:42): [Setsuko, Seta and Ken take your actions]
Meraxa (00:48:47): Ken: Tch, I'll just go! *And so he does, deciding to take on one of the Fubukis. Doesn't matter which, because the nearest will be getting a load of beam spray fire as he rockets up higher onto the side of the valley+
Aero (00:50:09): [Russel] The missiles are cleared but you can hear something revving up. When the smoke from the destroyed missiles clear you can see the Grungust pulling back it's right fist. "Listen carefully kids, this is how it's done. BOOST KNUCKLE!" The entire forearm of the machine is sent rocketing out at the Gespensts. [React Russel]
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:28): (Enemy list please)
Ishikar3 (00:50:51): *Yuuya kicks his boosters off and turns their output to thrust to the side kicking between two rocks to slide between them and emerge to get a better line on the sniper+
Meraxa (00:50:59): Ken: Thank you!
Aero (00:51:36): [Enemies: Rein(Engaging Asagi), Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Ishikar3 (00:51:57): Yuuya: "Oh dear lord they honestly made something that stupid."
griefgathering (00:52:28): Seta: *"Yuuya and Ken, I will assist you." She raises her hand, "Please answer, RB...!" and out comes the same disembodied arm from the last mission, only holding a large, bladed silver handgun this time. The same arm is pointed upwards as it fires four rounds, each going in a ballistic trajectory over obstacles and coming down on the forward Valkyries approximate location. They aren't meant to hit though...
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:54): Denzel: "Keep up the pressure, Star Two! Star Three, take care of the sniper!"
griefgathering (00:52:57): Instead, the area of impact is temporarily relieved of light, turning completely dark and serving as a distraction!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:04): Setsuko: "Roger that, Chief!"
Ishikar3 (00:53:33): VG: "Really that's the one who thought she wouldn't be useful? Don't sell yourself short honey."
Aero (00:53:55): [Asagi] The area around you is quickly turned to dust from all of the bullets. The occasional glancing shots bounce off of the shield. "Come on, are you gonna keep hiding like a rabbit all day? Guess I have to clear you OUT" The largest cannon on the back of the machine is aimed down and fired, unleashing a huge grenade. [React]
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:07): *Virgola Unit 3 jumps towards the canyon wall. Using it as a cover, it peeks at the Wahr, Gunnery Carver already held prepped - and firing!+
Aero (00:55:33): [Ken] This might come as a surprise but the beam spray fire hits the TSFs...and it doesn't seem to do anything to them. In fact the only thing they do is fire out a single large shell from the 120mm Cannon. [React]
tengusaur (00:55:48): * Asagi: "Now!" He takes aim at that grenade and fires at it quickly, trying to blow it up while it's still close to the opponent! +
Meraxa (00:56:49): Ken: I'm going to have to ask how that Dods rifle is coming along at some point... *Ken attempts to dodge aside, adding to the mental list of enemies not to bother shooting with this thing.+
Aero (00:57:21): [Yuuya and Setsuko] That brings you into sight of the sniper, the exact moment he fires his sniper rifle his shot is put off by Setsuko. The large bullet whizzes past the head of your TSF. "Tch...I'm gonna need a better weapon next time."
Ginkan SK (00:57:42): *Russel: has a moment of oh snaop he knows this it's a freaking rocket punch this is not something you want to be on the business end on that he's going to try to dodge that one.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:56): Setsuko: "Next time? Are we doing this more than once?"
Aero (00:58:34): [Leos can go]
Ishikar3 (00:58:37): Yuuya: "Looks like you weren't just a rookie to begin with, but lets see a sniper in close battle and see how that goes
Aero (00:58:49): [Yuuya also]
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:46): Setsuko: "It's true that I'm not very experienced... but even I am a soldier."
Ishikar3 (01:00:14): *Seeing the sniper suppressed and his flight proceedint to wedge the TSFs away from the other units Yuuya weaves through the debris and pulls up beside the lead TSF, firing on her from the flank.+
Aero (01:00:34): [Asagi] You just straight up punk him hard, the grenade explodes in front of his face. Severely damaging the AC. "If we were allowed to use Primal Armor here you'd be done for. Even the Granzon would be jealous at the output I can put out." Yuuko can be seen laughing and almost falling out of her seat at this statement. Now pissed off he charges you with a very large Pile Bunker. [React AGAIN]
VJockey (01:00:49): *Well then, looking at all the targets present Leos is going to go for the one that he thinks he can take on in combat! So he dashes through past the various melees to get up close and personal with the Wahr, leaping up to hopefully get out of its firing arc before coming down in a double drop kick!&
VJockey (01:00:57): "JENICIIIIDE KIIIIICK!"
VJockey (01:00:59): "..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:59): Toby: "That guy's more bark than bite!"
VJockey (01:01:06): "No no. That was terrible."
VJockey (01:01:11): "Never doing it again."
Aero (01:01:34): [Russel] "Heh just as planned." You dodge the rocket punch Russel...the problem? It's heading straight for Kei. [React Kei!]
Meraxa (01:01:44): #Kei
Aero (01:01:48): [Approved]
Meraxa (01:02:54): Ken: ...Please, pack some punch. *As he was dodging the other shot, Ken realises whats going on with the rocket punch, and turns his beam spray gun towards it before opening fire. How hard could it be to throw off course?+
Aero (01:03:14): [Seta and Ken] Again it's a very close call but thankfully the shot only hits the left arm. Unforunately that arm belongs to a Genoace so it's out of order.
tengusaur (01:03:17): * Asagi: "Angry because you're losing to a 'kid' ? Give me a break!" In a single move he draws Blue One's katana, clashing it against his opponent's pile bunker. He tries to overpower him and maybe sever the weapon if he can exert enough force! +
Aero (01:03:23): [Ken] Ping.
griefgathering (01:03:52): #Kei (if that's okay)
griefgathering (01:04:00): or @ Ken
griefgathering (01:04:07): However that works
TormTerra (01:04:46): * The second the she saw the rocket punch come from her, Kei pushed for purple-2 to speed upwards. There was no way it could take a hit from that and none of her weaponry had the power to so much as slow it down. She'd just need to try to get a proper view of the battlefield later, once the threat was over +
Meraxa (01:04:54): Ken: Nnnngh. *Down an arm, and the gun is still useless. Great*
Aero (01:05:23): [Approved]
griefgathering (01:06:59): *The good thing about these disembodied limbs is that they can be used at range too, Seta still has to get a bit closer than she'd like, but another magic circle appears in front...and slightly below the Rocket Punch's trajectory, before another disembodied arm rises from it and tries to punch the rocket punch out of its path!+
Aero (01:07:24): [Leos] The Wahr is sent flying back from the force of the kick but he draws two beam daggers in response and rushes at you. [Continue/React]
Aero (01:09:42): [Kei and Seta] At the very last second the Rocket Punch is sent flying away by the second disembodied arm. The fist smashes through a cliff and emerges out the other side unscathed. That would have been really bad if it hit you Kei. The fist returns to it's owner in shame. "Looks like you have some neat tricks on your side also."
VJockey (01:10:13): *Leos smiles as he draws his heat saber... of course close combat was for suckers really so he reverses as he raises his machinegun and fires it along with his four torso mounted machine cannons at the Wahr+
cubey@aol.pl (01:10:48): Setsuko: "Ah.. that was close. But how?"
TormTerra (01:11:48): Kei: "Yeah..." She's pretty clearly trying to catch her bearings again after that. Who used something like that in a spar?
Aero (01:12:00): [Asagi] "Screw you kid, I've defeated Arm Forts. You're nothing compared to me you got that!" You both pass each other, the pile bunker slamming Blue One pretty hard but a few seconds later the pile bunker is severed in half along with the legs of the NEXT. It doesn't look like it'll be getting up any time soon. [REIN DOWNED]
griefgathering (01:12:43): Seta: "Too close..." She's actually winces, as if she's punched a wall or something.
griefgathering (01:12:52): ^She
tengusaur (01:12:57): Asagi: "Oof, that was too close... What is this guy's deal?"
Aero (01:13:55): [Yuuya] Despite the fact that it's just a regular Shiranui, the TSF is easily outpacing yours. The occasional glancing shot hits the machine but it evades damage to it's critical systems. The sub-arm on the back swings up and the machine grabs the PB Blade from it and swings at you. [React]
Ishikar3 (01:13:56): Stella: "well well, looks like the old addage does have some weight still. The bigger they are the harder they fall."
Aero (01:14:35): [Russel, Kei, Asagi can all go]
Aero (01:14:41): [eeeh Setsuko also]
tengusaur (01:14:47): (enemy list?)
Aero (01:14:57): [Enemies: Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Aero (01:15:12): [Enemies: Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui(Engaging Yuuya), Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Aero (01:15:37): Primo: "Dammit Alex you were supposed to have my back there!"
Ishikar3 (01:16:00): *Yuuya curses loudly as he kicks his TSF back and out of the line of the attack as quickly as he can and tries to drive her back with 120mm rounds.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:18): Setsuko: "We need to maintain the pressure on the AC!"
tengusaur (01:16:40): Asagi: "Pressure? Let me help you with that."
Aero (01:16:58): Alex:"It's your fault for rushing forward"
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:58): Virgola unit 3 leaves its cover, and springs forward! "Eeey!" Wielding the gunnery carver butt-side first, Setsuko slams the implement in Wahr's face!+
Ginkan SK (01:17:16): Russel "I should have seen that one Coming, Irm!"
Ishikar3 (01:17:23): Yuuya: "This stupid piece of crap is supposed to be an upgrade to her unit, it doesn't help if the controls are so difficult to work that you can't take advantage of that!"
tengusaur (01:17:39): * With one AC out of the fight, it's time to engage another one. Asagi drops down towards Wahr from the sky, slashing with his katana in a single, double-handed swing. He's aiming for the arms and his sniper rifle! +
Aero (01:17:57): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Oh are you getting frustrated?" (Directed at Yuuya)
Ishikar3 (01:18:32): Yuuya: "Yeah yeah, laugh it up just like everyone from your damned country does."
TormTerra (01:18:54): * "Seta...Can you prepare to use that thing to block further attacks? I think it's what we have most capable of standing up to something like that. Ken, assist Yuuya. He's keeping that enemy occupied, which should leave her open to attack and even if not, having to defend against two people is a lot more difficult." +
griefgathering (01:20:39): Seta: "...I will try." The reply comes with a small nod.
Meraxa (01:20:53): Ken: ...Ngh, isn't there anyone else?
Aero (01:21:19): [Setsuko and Asagi AND Leos] Well, he wasn't expecting that. "Get back here you coward!" To make matters worse the butt of a gun and a katana suddenly come at it. He backs out, leaving the sniper rifle behind. A large railgun is swung over his shoulders and he takes aim at the three of you and FIRES IT? [React]
Aero (01:21:29): [All three of you]
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:42): Denzel: "Did you forget about us? Press on Ken, Glory Stars will support you."
Aero (01:21:54): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Look at that Mitsuki, he's almost as uptight as you are."
Aero (01:22:03): Fubuki: "Munakataaaaaa...I swear."
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:23): Setsuko: "Aaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:41): *Virgola performs another thruster-assisted jump, trying to get out of the railgun's firing range by going up.+
Ginkan SK (01:22:58): Russel "Still not bad, not bad at all!"
tengusaur (01:23:19): * Blue One shoulder-tackles the enemy AC, trying to disrupt its pilot's aim and make that railgun fire into the sky instead! +
Meraxa (01:23:30): Ken: Tch, guess I have no choice... fine!
VJockey (01:23:49): *Leos is going to dive to the side to avoid the shot!+
Aero (01:25:07): [Yuuya] Isumi: "I was told you were a skilled test pilot but it seems like you just want to blame your machine for your own shortcomings." That's not nearly enough, again the Shiranui moves with grace. If you didn't know better it'd almost seem like an entirely different kind of machine. The PB Training Sword comes down and it sends the Shiranui flying into the dirt.
Aero (01:26:05): Shiranui Second*
Ishikar3 (01:27:00): Yuuya "Gah! Damnit you sound just like that other damned japanese doll. They teach that condescension to you in finishing school or something?"
Aero (01:27:56): Mitsuki: "It's called having respect for the machine you pilot you dolt."
Aero (01:28:19): Mitsuki: "Is he always like that whenever he loses?"
Meraxa (01:28:25): Ken: Yes.
griefgathering (01:29:00): Seta: "That was a quick response..."
Ishikar3 (01:29:03): Yuuya: "I should have figured an operation here would leave me so outnumbered it wasn't worth actually trying to defend myself."
Aero (01:29:50): [Setsuko, Asagi, Leos] The railgun is thankfully knocked into the air and the shot shoots through the clouds. A flare is fired from the command tent.
Aero (01:30:11): Yuuko: "Alright alright that's more than enough, it's all fun and games until someone tries to fire a high powered railgun."
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:15): Denzel: "Can you two stop arguing for just a damn minute?"
tengusaur (01:31:04): Asagi: "Is that it? We've won?"
tengusaur (01:31:19): Asagi: "My first mock battle victory..."
Aero (01:31:33): Yuuko: "You just forced a Ranked Lynx to resort to extremely deadly force because he was shown up."
TormTerra (01:31:45): Kei: "You just had to say it."
tengusaur (01:31:57): Asagi: "...I said that aloud, didn't I."
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:07): Setsuko: "Yes. Sorry."
tengusaur (01:32:27): Asagi feels the power of ulcer intensifying.
griefgathering (01:32:39): Seta: "...This is the same for me as well...a victory in a spar..."
Ishikar3 (01:33:06): Yuuya snorts in his cockpit but has enough sense not to gloat about Asagi's mistake while he's trying to right him machine
Ginkan SK (01:33:17): Russel "I'm still not so sure about the nature exercise ot be honest but still that was ... a workout."
Aero (01:33:19): Yuuko breaks communications with the rest of you to talk to your opponents. A few minutes later they look ready to take their leave.
Aero (01:33:33): Isumi: "I apologize for how things broke down there."
VJockey (01:33:35): "We..."
VJockey (01:33:38): "We did it?"
VJockey (01:33:43): "We won?"
VJockey (01:33:49): O.O
VJockey (01:33:52): X333333
VJockey (01:34:08): [There is much cheering from Leos.]
Ishikar3 (01:34:20): Yuuya: "geeze, that's gonna leave a mark."
Aero (01:34:32): Oddly enough...the Command Tent seems to have disappeared...
Meraxa (01:34:43): Ken: ...Hm?
Ishikar3 (01:34:44): Yuuya: "or rather it would if I wasn't bolted into the seat"
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:55): Setsuko: "It looks like there are amazing people outside of Unity Group as well."
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:04): "But, how are you able to do that?" The last question was aimed at Seta.
TormTerra (01:35:05): Kei: "Why wouldn't there be?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:15): And by that she means everything that just happened.
Aero (01:35:30): The sun begins to set but something seems weird about the entire situation.
Aero (01:35:44): No one has told you what you need to do now.
griefgathering (01:35:44): Seta: "It's...difficult to explain."
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:03): Toby: "So, that's it? Looks like it's time to go back home."
Ishikar3 (01:36:39): Argos flight reforms and regroups near the rest of the UG group.
Aero (01:36:48): Those of you with Radar can see that there's another hostile approaching.
Ishikar3 (01:36:51): Yuuya: "Command, any advisement for the next stage of the operation?
Aero (01:37:00): No response
Ishikar3 (01:37:10): Yuuya: "Command respond"
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:17): Setsuko: "There is a next stage?" That sounds worrying.
griefgathering (01:37:19): Seta: "...What is going on?"
Meraxa (01:37:20): Ken: Something's not right...
TormTerra (01:37:27): Kei: "Something's approaching, be ready to respond. Whatever an appropriate response will be."
VJockey (01:37:38): "Huh?"
tengusaur (01:37:54): Asagi: "If this is some kind of a trap..."
Ishikar3 (01:37:57): Yuuya: "Argos flight let's move up and get a visual on this thing."
VJockey (01:38:02): "Do you think they went out for coffee or something and forgot to tell us?"
TormTerra (01:38:42): Kei: "No, I don't, Leos. It seems rather unlikely they didn't leave someone to inform us of what to do if they did."
Aero (01:40:19): None of you seem to have any data on the unknown...wait no. One of you do.
Ishikar3 (01:40:36): Stella "It's a TSF, data link is showing the records in your TSF's database Yuuya, It's a Type-00 Takemikazuchi"
Aero (01:40:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aj7_U1h-yE

tengusaur (01:41:26): img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110905051618/muvluv/images/0/00/Type-00FYui.jpg
Ishikar3 (01:41:30): Yuuya "The hell, an elite japanese TSF for the royal guard? She can't possibly be that petty can she?"
Aero (01:41:57): She's not packing training swords either, the blades on the back of the machine are for real combat.
VJockey (01:42:18): "Ow.."
VJockey (01:42:21): "Owowow"
VJockey (01:42:24): "My eyes.."
Aero (01:42:25): The yellow TSF draws the PB Blade and points it at all of you.
VJockey (01:42:32): "They hurt! Too bright!"
tengusaur (01:42:34): Asagi: "I didn't know there are gold TSFs... What does it want from us?"
Ishikar3 (01:43:03): Tarisa: "Oh, so the princess wants to play too? I'm up for a round." yelling as she charges forward
Meraxa (01:43:14): Ken: Wait!
TormTerra (01:43:27): Kei: "Why are you bringing actual weapons to a training exercise?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:30): Denzel: "A TSF elite? We should be honored..." He smirks.
Aero (01:43:34): No answer.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:56): Setsuko: "Please respond! Why do you maintain radio silence?"
Aero (01:44:23): [Tarisa] The Takemikazuchi sidesteps Tarisa's charge and sends it slamming into the ground. The machine even steps on the fallen TSF and skewers the machine with her sword.
Aero (01:44:35): It is not joking around
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:40): Toby: "Damn!"
tengusaur (01:44:46): Asagi: "Hey! This is just a training exercise! Not a real fight!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:53): Toby: "Stop fooling around, are you trying to kill somenoe?!"
Aero (01:44:55): [Enemies: Takemikazuchi 00-C]

[Initiative: Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko, Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos]
Meraxa (01:44:57): Ken: I think it just became one.
Aero (01:45:10): [Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko GO]
griefgathering (01:45:27): Seta is all sorts of >_< right now.
Aero (01:45:32): (00-F sorry)
tengusaur (01:46:28): * "I'll stop this maniac!" Both mecha have swords. Good. Let's see how the enemy pilot likes it when Asagi zooms in and then attacks upwards with a rising slash! +
TormTerra (01:47:54): * "She's not listening. We need to subdue her. She seems to focus on Argos Flight. Glory Stars lay down suppressing fire to keep her from getting to them and allowing Asagi to move in. Argos Flight, try to keep your distance and rely on ranged attacks as much as possible." +
Aero (01:48:11): [Asagi] The slash is parried by a PB blade slamming into the side of the blade. The Takemikazuchi thrusts it's hand out towards Blue One. [Ract]
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:25): Denzel: "Make sure Tarisa is alright. Get off, you asshole!" *With a forceful charge, Virgola unit 1 slams its Carver at the Takemikazuchi. While Denzel has the pilot's attention, the two others bombard its legs with Straight Turret shots+
VJockey (01:48:58): [Leos is going to move over to the fallen TSF anxiously.]
VJockey (01:49:10): "Hello? You're still alive in there right?"
VJockey (01:49:14): "...Right?"
Ishikar3 (01:49:30): Tarisa *Loud and constant profanity*
tengusaur (01:49:55): * "Tch..." She's much better at swordfighting than Asagi is. He really should've seen this coming. He raises his sword for a parry, trying to block the opponent's strike just like she did with his own right now. +
Ginkan SK (01:50:07): *Russel: "...live fire?" Russel does not like this and he's not about to let his forces be cut down because some royal is going nuts. "Bagman here all unituy units, use lethal force if needed to protect yourselves. Bring that unit down. That's a direct order, if you have to kill the pilot to protect your self? DO IT!" Russel now pulls a steel knife out and is closing in on the crazed TSF. He's not playing with honor he's playing like putting down a mad dog he's oing to get them from behind with the knife trying to get it into some of the more vital systems+
VJockey (01:50:19): "..She's okay!"
griefgathering (01:50:41): Seta: "Thank goodness..."
tengusaur (01:51:09): Asagi: "Get her out of there to safety!"
TormTerra (01:52:17): Kei: "And support Asagi. There's only one of her, she can't respond to all angles of attack at once."
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:40): Setsuko: "You cannot be serious... why did it come to this?!" It was supposed to be a training fight, not a battle to the death.
Aero (01:57:55): [Asagi and Glory Stars and Russel] Almost as if she was responding to that statement Kei the TSF's subarm swings up with the PB Blade, knocking away the the Carver. With the Blade in her right hand she sends Asagi flying back from the force of her blow. The machine turns back towards Virgola unit 1 and...impales the machine's shoulder with it's left hand, pulling the machine in the way of the shots from Denzel. Once those were blocked she pulls the bladed fist back and extends a large forearm knife to parry the steel knife, finally swinging her PB Blade at him at the end of that crazy sequence. [React Russel]
Aero (01:58:03): [Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos can go]
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:41): Denzel: "Graaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:52): Toby: "Chief! Shit!"
griefgathering (01:58:52): Seta: "This is...too dangerous..."
VJockey (01:58:56): [Leos watches all of this and feels himself break out into a sweat... this was like-....]
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:20): Denzel: "Not yet! We are the Glory Stars, don't think it's over!"
VJockey (02:00:06): [If this was the case he couldn't back down. He puts the Jenice's gun away and points the machine's heat sword at the Takemikazuchi.]
VJockey (02:00:12): "HEY!"
TormTerra (02:00:36): Kei: "Leos, stand down. Provide supporting fire, don't engage in melee."
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:51): Setsuko: "This is a bad idea, this is a very bad idea..."
Ishikar3 (02:00:52): *Screaming in anger VG and Stella charge forward trying to suppress the unit and get their fallen comrade to safety. Yuuya attempts to fire his machine guns but finds them empty so he draws his training blade and charges in behind them to try to force yui back with a blow coming from the lower left to upper right.+ "So you really want to do this now Lt. Takamura, fine, I'll give you what you want I'm right here!"
tengusaur (02:01:30): Asagi lands heavily. "Gah...! How ridiculously powerful is she? She's just one pilot!"
VJockey (02:02:31): "But everyone's just charging in! If I shoot they'll get hit!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:03): Setsuko: "It's a supremely powerful melee unit... stand back! Everyone, attack from a distance!"
Meraxa (02:03:12): Ken: Huu... *Ken is... actually put off, by what he sees, but even with an arm disabled, and a gun that probably won't do a thing, he has to fight...* You'll get a chance Leos. At least your gun is worth a damn. *Ken says as he tosses the beam spray gun aside*
Ginkan SK (02:03:33): (So we got several people in melee right?)
Ginkan SK (02:03:41): (checking before I do something so I don't hit someone.
Aero (02:03:53): (Just you and Denzel now)
VJockey (02:04:17): "..."
griefgathering (02:04:17): Seta: "I am afraid I cannot be of much use here..." Because melee unit on foot, and ranged attacks are a bad idea...if only she was a nin-ja.
VJockey (02:04:21): " 'kay."
TormTerra (02:04:34): Kei: "And if you charge in, you'll all get in the way of each other. But with careful aiming you can still hit at range."
Aero (02:04:36): (Oh and Yuuya)
Ginkan SK (02:04:56): (Checkiung with Cubes before I react)
Ishikar3 (02:05:14): (np)
VJockey (02:05:40): *Leos reluctantly sheaths the heat blade... and promptly moves to pick up the cast aside beam spray as he drew his machinegun out again, taking a sharp breath as he carefully took aim and fired with guns akimbo!+
griefgathering (02:06:01): (Skipping this turn with Seta so people can get moves in)
Ginkan SK (02:06:40): Russel opens a channel to Denzel.

Aero (00:01:14): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
Aero (00:04:21): JAPAN, Monster Attack Central. The Unity Group has been invited to join in on a massive meeting of machines. This entire gathering was apparently put together by a UN Official from the Yokohama Base. An entire coastline has been occupied by these machines and you all just landed in some sort of Robot haven. There seems to be hundreds of machines throughout the area. Super Robots, Real Robots, whoever put this together probably invited the entire world. So what's going on with all of you?
Ishikar3 (00:05:24): Yuuya "This is not what I thought was going to happen when there were rumors of an operation going on in the area"
tengusaur (00:05:55): Well, all this spotlight means Asagi is getting stressed as hell and his stomach ulcers start to murder him! Also...
VJockey (00:05:58): Leos: "But it looks like fun though! Look at all these robots!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:06): Denzel: "Look good, everyone. Time to show the Glory Stars' best side."
Ginkan SK (00:06:25): Russel "This is quite the formation unitsl. We should get some really good training time in here. So lets put forth our best."
tengusaur (00:06:26): Asagi: (Yuuya carefully omitted from the transmission) "Why is this guy here, if he hates Japan so much...?"
Meraxa (00:06:37): Ken's somewhat annoyed that this had to cut into his training, but then, early days, so its not like he's lost much either. He stays plenty away from particular parts of present company, and instead sticks to those he better knows. "You sound like a kid at the toy shop Leos."
Ishikar3 (00:06:39): VG "Man it was hard enough being popular before, I'm going to have to hire bodyguards after this"
VJockey (00:06:45): [The unbalanced AC pilot would be bouncing around his cockpit like a hyperactive bunny in the Jenice he appropriated.]
TormTerra (00:06:54): Kei was doing Kei like things on the eve of a conflict. Which meant having purple-2 float there and trying to get as much information as possible in advance to reassure herself and make her work easier for the upcoming training exercise. She really hoped it would be better than her last one. "I don't know...Why does he even hate Japan?"
VJockey (00:07:08): [Had he not been strapped in.]
Aero (00:07:54): You're all hailed by the Command Post.
Aero (00:07:56): Command Post: "Ah you must be the Unity Group, your match has already been scheduled. It's over by the valley over there."
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:06): Setsuko: "I did not expect so many various models..." She does not like the crowds much, but on the other hand she looks around with curiosity.
TormTerra (00:08:07): Kei: (To Asagi only) "And why is Leos here? He shouldn't be anywhere near politing..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:11): "The variety is staggering."
tengusaur (00:08:20): Asagi: "Because some Japanese people were horrible to him. Why not ask him yourself? Or better yet, don't..."
tengusaur (00:08:51): Asagi: "Ehe... I wonder too..." Sweatdrop. Yeah, he's the one who suggested Leos can get his AC back by piloting something else after all.
Ishikar3 (00:09:08): Stella "Alright people, let's not keep our opponent waiting."
TormTerra (00:09:29): Kei: "I see..." (To everyone) "And there really is a lot of variety...Even trying to figure out what they all are is quite a job."
Ginkan SK (00:09:34): Russel's Machine is in it's type C config for heavy weapon support from the looks of it and he was now going over a data pad checking over the jobs the techs have done on it.
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:41): Toby: "Exactly! Politeness means you're always on time."
Meraxa (00:10:52): Ken simply sighs, shakes his head, and then moves his Genoace along towards the valley. "Wonder who we'll face..."
Aero (00:11:16): When you arrive to the designated combat zone it seems...rather isolated from the rest of the events. In fact the only person there is a purple haired woman in a lab coat waving you in.
Aero (00:11:26): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121225061017/muvluv/images/8/84/Rebirth_34.png
Ishikar3 (00:11:54): Yuuya "What on earth does she want here?"
VJockey (00:11:56): "Eh?"
tengusaur (00:12:00): Asagi: "...She's not our opponent, is she?"
VJockey (00:12:08): [Wasn't that Shu person a guy?]
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:18): Setsuko: "On foot...?"
TormTerra (00:12:19): Kei: "She can't be...So what does she want?"
tengusaur (00:12:42): Asagi: "After all the craziness I've seen lately, I can't be sure anymore."
VJockey (00:12:44): "Where's the bird?"
Ishikar3 (00:12:48): Stella "Well we've seen plenty of crazy things already, lte's not judge too quick"
VJockey (00:13:08): "Doesn't Mr Shirakawa have a bird with him? A talking one? That's what I heard."
VJockey (00:13:18): "Or... is it Miss Shirakawa?"
Meraxa (00:13:25): Ken: Leos, just because she has purple hair doesn't mean she's... that guy.
cubey@aol.pl (00:13:31): Setsuko: "Umm, Leos, I don't think that's Shu Shirakawa."
VJockey (00:13:52): "...EH?!"
TormTerra (00:13:54): Kei: "You're right." She sounded rather resigned about the truth of Asagi's comment
VJockey (00:13:58): "But... she looks just like him!"
Aero (00:14:00): Yuuko: "Oh! So he is alive then. That's good, here I thought they were joking when they said he was alive"
Aero (00:14:10): She's pulled out a large megaphone.
Meraxa (00:14:18): Ken: ...I can name at least two reasons why she doesn't.
Ginkan SK (00:14:30): Russel at mention of Shu grimaces he's not forgot the brawl with Grandzon.
Ishikar3 (00:14:57): VG: quietly "Well small reasons compared to Venus"
TormTerra (00:15:00): Kei: Somehow she managed to project an angry glare at Ken over the radio. Don't ask how that works, but it does
Aero (00:15:03): The command tent is apparently right next to her.
VJockey (00:15:16): "Eh? Reasons?"
Aero (00:15:17): How did that get up so quickly?
Ishikar3 (00:15:40): Stella "What was that VG?"
griefgathering (00:15:51): In case you're wondering, Seta has been around but quiet all this time because all the robots and people. This has absolutely nothing to do with her player debating on who to send still, not at all.
cubey@aol.pl (00:15:52): Denzel: "As you can see and hear, the Unity Group team has arrived. So, who's our opponent?"
Aero (00:16:36): Yuuko: "They should be coming right now."
Aero (00:17:00): Indeed there are 7 signatures all rapidly approaching you.
tengusaur (00:17:37): Asagi: "Just 7? We have a number advantage."
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:39): Toby: "That few? They're taking us pretty lightly, aren't they?"
VJockey (00:17:58): "They're kinda fast though.."
Meraxa (00:18:08): Ken: Could always be they're that confident...
Aero (00:18:14): [Enemies: Rein, Wahr, Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai]
Shiranui:http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111222073701/muvluv/images/4/49/TYPE_94_SHIRANUI.png
Fubuki:http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110811022753/muvluv/images/1/1d/TYPE_97_FUBUKI.png
Grungust Kai:http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121210032912/superrobotwars/images/4/42/Grungust_Kai_OG.jpg
Ishikar3 (00:18:23): Yuuya: "Or Arrogant"
TormTerra (00:18:30): Kei: "Maybe they want us to help train them, not the opposite."
Aero (00:18:58): Next to the TSFs and the Super Robot are two NEXTs.
Ishikar3 (00:18:58): Yuuya: "Wait? Japanese TSFs with a Grungust?"
tengusaur (00:19:03): Asagi: "That one is big..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:27): Setsuko: "A super robot and Armored Cores, side by side with TSFs?"
Aero (00:19:30): Primo: "Pfffffttt these are our opponents? Little girls and kids? Where are all the men?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:33): This is starting to sound like a mini-Unity Group.
VJockey (00:19:38): "... I'm a man!"
Aero (00:19:48): Irm: "Yo Russel, long time no see."
Ishikar3 (00:19:52): Yuuya: "Guess the UN isn't the only one raring for combined arms"
Meraxa (00:19:56): Ken: ...Excuse me...?
TormTerra (00:20:11): Kei: "It does...Maybe Yuuya's right. Or perhaps it's some other branch of the UN."
tengusaur (00:20:22): Asagi: "There are no little kids here!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:34): Toby: "Hey now, is that really the introduction you want to be remembered by?"
VJockey (00:20:34): "Yeah!"
TormTerra (00:20:41): Kei: "And hopefully no psychopaths either."
Meraxa (00:20:47): Ken: You two are not helping the case.
griefgathering (00:21:00): Seta: "....Perhaps it was a bad idea to have me here..."
Ishikar3 (00:21:33): Stella: "Don't worry so much about it, it's just a training mission so take it in stride and if you need help leave it to us."
cubey@aol.pl (00:21:48): Setsuko: "Don't say that, I'm sure we can work together."
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:03): She says while pondering how will Seta actually fight here.
Ginkan SK (00:22:14): Russel "Combined arms is never a bad thing wwhen it comes to coperation. LEt's see what they can do, shall we?"
griefgathering (00:22:52): Good thing to think about because she's still on foot. Staying waaaayyy back though.
griefgathering (00:23:13): And by that I mean about a quarter of a mile back.
Ishikar3 (00:23:14): Yuuya: "Well don't count on the Fubukis to do to much, I flew one of those and the thing's like tap dancing on ice."
Aero (00:23:19): The Shiranui Pilot pipes up. "I apologize for the behavior of my 'allies' " She's taking time to directly communicate with you at least. She looks like this. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110907172634/muvluv/images/5/55/Isumi.png
VJockey (00:23:39): "..."
Aero (00:24:04): Fubuki Pilot: "Considering that they're being partnered up with a bunch of girls."
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:12): Denzel: "Don't worry about it. Unity Group has all kinds of characters, too."
tengusaur (00:24:19): Asagi: "I preemptively do the same." Thinking about you, Leos.
Ishikar3 (00:24:34): VG: "Wow, talk about a beautiful woman, another goddess of battle like our Venus here perhaps?"
TormTerra (00:24:46): Kei: "Do you ever talk about anything else, VG?"
VJockey (00:24:53): "But wouldn't tap dancing on ice mean that they're really skilled?"
Aero (00:25:03): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Look at that Lieutenant Irm, they have someone just like you on the other side"
Ishikar3 (00:25:30): Yuuya: "No it means you can't hold a course for a damn."
Ginkan SK (00:25:34): Russe" "Irm? It's been a while, your dad doing all right?"
Ishikar3 (00:25:53): VG: "sure I do, you just haven't seen it"
VJockey (00:26:16): "Oh, okay."
Aero (00:26:27): Irm: "The old man is still the same as always." Which means like Irm and VG of course.
TormTerra (00:26:29): Kei: "Right." That was one flat tone
Aero (00:27:09): Fubuki Pilot 1:http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120917224253/muvluv/images/9/96/Hayase_Pilot_suit.png

VJockey (00:27:37): Lana: "Pilots Kugimiya and Bridges. A moment of your time?"
TormTerra (00:27:45): Kei: "Yes?"
Ishikar3 (00:27:57): Yuuya: Yes?
VJockey (00:28:13): Lana: "Make sure Leos doesn't somehow kill himself in this training exercise."
VJockey (00:28:22): Lana: "That is all."
Ishikar3 (00:28:28): Yuuya: "Like that even needs to be said"
TormTerra (00:28:29): Kei: "Understood...Do you even know who let him out there?"
tengusaur (00:28:30): Asagi: "That's a big responsibility."
Meraxa (00:28:34): Ken: And of course, the ones calling us girls are actually female themselves.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:45): Setsuko: "That was just that one pilot..."
tengusaur (00:28:46): (nah Ken, it was someone else)
VJockey (00:28:47): Lana: "I am still looking into the matter."
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:54): She hoeps the other LYNX is less of a jerk actually.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:57): *Hopes
VJockey (00:29:03): Leos: "I can hear you all..."
VJockey (00:29:09): [SADFAIS]
Aero (00:29:18): The other Lynx isn't saying anything.
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:21): Toby: "That means everyone cares for you Leos, you should be happy!"
VJockey (00:29:34): Leos: "...Oh....you're right!"
VJockey (00:29:47): [And he's back to his usual happy self. Thanks Toby!]
Aero (00:29:47): Yuuko: "Alright then, if you're done with the prematch trashtalk we can get this started."
tengusaur (00:29:51): Asagi: "He's so easy to cheer up..."
Aero (00:30:06): Yuuko: "Reeaaadddyyy FIGHT!" Yeah she's having too much fun with this.
Aero (00:30:07): [Initiative: Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko, Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos]
Aero (00:30:16): [Russel, Kei, Asagi, gooooo]
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:17): Denzel: "Alright guys. Cut the chat, time to blow this joint!"
VJockey (00:30:21): Lana: "Good luck Leos." [and she's out.]
Meraxa (00:30:41): Ken: ...Right, right...
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:49): The Glory Stars get in formation.
griefgathering (00:31:08): Seta: "I will support you...from here."
Ishikar3 (00:31:53): Yuuya: Argos-1 to to flight, let's get those Fubuki's suppressed first and leave the walking targets to the others for now
Ginkan SK (00:31:53): *Russel: Knows just what a problem Irm can be in a fight. "Right then shall we get to it?" Russel is being a bit more agressive than normal. For he's going right for Irm and opening fire with his gatling after Irm. He seems almost excited he'd never really got a chance to test him self against Irm back in the old days. He as eager for the chance now and away he goes opening fire. "Let's do this!" Yes even Russel can get fired up once and a while.+
VJockey (00:32:02): [Leos smiles as he moves into position with Setsuko's little group of friends.]
tengusaur (00:32:06): * "Let's see how good that mech can do against fliers!" Asagi takes off into the skies, taking the lead in the attack. He circles around the enemy group and fires several controlled bursts from his heavy machinegun, aiming at the Grungust! +
TormTerra (00:34:08): *"Try to keep your distance from the big one, it doesn't appear very mobile, but its size makes it dangerous if you get in range. Glory Stars, coordinate with Argos Flight to cut one of the TSF's off from its formation, between your combined firepower it should be possible. Then use the opening to hit it before they manage to lay down suppression fire in response."+
Ishikar3 (00:34:56): Stella: "Already thinking like a TSF ace there Kei."
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:21): Denzel: "Sounds like a plan. Ready, guys?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:34): Setsuko: "Y, yes, Chief!"
Ishikar3 (00:35:35): Yuuya: "Just try to keep up old man."
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:55): Denzel: "I'm not even 40!"
VJockey (00:36:08): "Really?!"
Aero (00:36:10): [Asagi and Russel] "Oi oi oi come on, you should know that this is a Super Robot." The gatling and heavy machine shots barely scratch the paint of the Super Robot. The missile rack on top of the machine opens up and it unleashes a storm of missiles at the two smaller machines. [React Russel and Asagi]
VJockey (00:36:13): "I thought-..."
VJockey (00:36:17): "Um... nevermind..."
Ishikar3 (00:36:22): Yuuya: "Section chief makes you old man, I'm just flight lead."
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:27): Toby: "I'd stop right there if I were you Leos."
VJockey (00:36:38): " 'kay."
Aero (00:37:03): [Take Kei actions plz]
tengusaur (00:37:24): * Asagi: "I know that. That's why I'm engaging you first!" Time for some quick dodging, combined with a few short bursts towards the incoming missiles in an attempt to shoot them down before they reach Blue One! +
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:37): Toby: "Sorry about that, flight leader. Here we go!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:49): Denzel: "Fire, fire!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:06): Setsuko: "Gung ho, gung ho, gung ho!" It was supposed to sound hot blooded but, you know, it's Setsuko.
Ishikar3 (00:38:43): *Yuuya kicks into the lead with Tarisa right behind. VG and Stella take up sweeping cover positions as they begin to drive a wedge to push the TSFs towards more open terrain.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:44): *The three Virgola units charge forward and spray a lot of ray pistol blasts into the air, trying to seperate the Shiranui from the rest of the TSFs.+
Aero (00:38:52): [Asagi] The missiles are shot down, but suddenly, another barrage of fire comes from the Rein. "COME ON KID, SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT." There's just a storm of bullets coming from the two chainguns on the machine. [React]
Meraxa (00:39:09): Ken: Setsuko, thats not really the kind of thing you yell out.
Ishikar3 (00:39:25): Yuuya: "Push them into the open, don't let them get into terrain that's too dense or they'll make life hell for targeting them."
griefgathering (00:39:51): Seta (to Ken): It isn't?
TormTerra (00:39:58): Kei: "Just let her shout it."
Ishikar3 (00:40:40): Stella: laughing "Sure why not, it's certainly a nice addition to her character."
Meraxa (00:41:18): Ken: If you have to yell anything, its either a declaration, or the name of an attack! Thats the rules!
TormTerra (00:41:49): Kei: "You yell whatever helps you focus...And why would you ever even /name/ your attacks?"
tengusaur (00:42:00): * Asagi: "I'm not a kid!" Well, he can't shoot the bullets down, but he can get quickly behind the cover of some nearby rocky cliffs! And Blue One still has its shields. +
Meraxa (00:42:11): Ken: ...Do you know nothing of Super Robots?
Ishikar3 (00:42:36): Tarisa: "What are you talking about Ken? You really think yelling loudly is going to make your attacks better? It's all about focus!"
TormTerra (00:42:39): Kei: "Izuru is the one who's all about super heroes."
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:39): Setsuko: "Can... we leave this for later?" Her allies' comments leave her sweating more than the actual exercise.
Aero (00:42:41): Irm: "It's a man's pride!"
Meraxa (00:43:01): Ken: This guy gets it! Plus! A lot of them use it for the controls!
Ishikar3 (00:43:13): Yuuya: "Is this a military unit or a kindergarten..."
VJockey (00:43:34): "...I thought it was more a high school!"
VJockey (00:43:42): [Totally not helping.]
Meraxa (00:44:06): Ken: If it were, Kaname wouldn't complain so much.
Ishikar3 (00:44:15): Yuuya: "Leos.... just focus on what your doing alright?"
VJockey (00:44:55): " 'kay!"
Aero (00:46:21): [Argos Flight and Glory Stars] "Don't break formation, we need to show the Unity Group the pride of the Valkyrie Squadron." The Fubuki in the back with a large shield storms forward tanking most of the shots for the Shiranui while the others follow behind it. "There's a name for attacks involving three of the same units isn't there?" "Oh shut up and concentrate Munakata!" As for the shots from the TSFs well...remember how the Fubuki totally sucked with it's movements when you piloted it Yuuya? It's not doing it now, they have no problems evading the heavy fire. There's also a very large sniper rifle round coming towards the Shiranui Second. [React Yuuya]
Ginkan SK (00:46:29): *russel knows Irm, he knows Irm's machine and how he fights he intends to make use of what he knows and hopefully keep Irm and his machine's busy. "I know it's as dangerous as your love for women is strong." Russel's not shocked about his weapons not doing much and he contiunes ot try to keep the other machine busy, however there are misses. Russel pops off a chaff and also attemps to shoot the missiles down with his m90.+
griefgathering (00:46:35): All this talk about name calling has officially decreased Seta's morale...by 20.
Aero (00:46:42): [Setsuko, Seta and Ken take your actions]
Meraxa (00:48:47): Ken: Tch, I'll just go! *And so he does, deciding to take on one of the Fubukis. Doesn't matter which, because the nearest will be getting a load of beam spray fire as he rockets up higher onto the side of the valley+
Aero (00:50:09): [Russel] The missiles are cleared but you can hear something revving up. When the smoke from the destroyed missiles clear you can see the Grungust pulling back it's right fist. "Listen carefully kids, this is how it's done. BOOST KNUCKLE!" The entire forearm of the machine is sent rocketing out at the Gespensts. [React Russel]
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:28): (Enemy list please)
Ishikar3 (00:50:51): *Yuuya kicks his boosters off and turns their output to thrust to the side kicking between two rocks to slide between them and emerge to get a better line on the sniper+
Meraxa (00:50:59): Ken: Thank you!
Aero (00:51:36): [Enemies: Rein(Engaging Asagi), Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Ishikar3 (00:51:57): Yuuya: "Oh dear lord they honestly made something that stupid."
griefgathering (00:52:28): Seta: *"Yuuya and Ken, I will assist you." She raises her hand, "Please answer, RB...!" and out comes the same disembodied arm from the last mission, only holding a large, bladed silver handgun this time. The same arm is pointed upwards as it fires four rounds, each going in a ballistic trajectory over obstacles and coming down on the forward Valkyries approximate location. They aren't meant to hit though...
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:54): Denzel: "Keep up the pressure, Star Two! Star Three, take care of the sniper!"
griefgathering (00:52:57): Instead, the area of impact is temporarily relieved of light, turning completely dark and serving as a distraction!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:04): Setsuko: "Roger that, Chief!"
Ishikar3 (00:53:33): VG: "Really that's the one who thought she wouldn't be useful? Don't sell yourself short honey."
Aero (00:53:55): [Asagi] The area around you is quickly turned to dust from all of the bullets. The occasional glancing shots bounce off of the shield. "Come on, are you gonna keep hiding like a rabbit all day? Guess I have to clear you OUT" The largest cannon on the back of the machine is aimed down and fired, unleashing a huge grenade. [React]
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:07): *Virgola Unit 3 jumps towards the canyon wall. Using it as a cover, it peeks at the Wahr, Gunnery Carver already held prepped - and firing!+
Aero (00:55:33): [Ken] This might come as a surprise but the beam spray fire hits the TSFs...and it doesn't seem to do anything to them. In fact the only thing they do is fire out a single large shell from the 120mm Cannon. [React]
tengusaur (00:55:48): * Asagi: "Now!" He takes aim at that grenade and fires at it quickly, trying to blow it up while it's still close to the opponent! +
Meraxa (00:56:49): Ken: I'm going to have to ask how that Dods rifle is coming along at some point... *Ken attempts to dodge aside, adding to the mental list of enemies not to bother shooting with this thing.+
Aero (00:57:21): [Yuuya and Setsuko] That brings you into sight of the sniper, the exact moment he fires his sniper rifle his shot is put off by Setsuko. The large bullet whizzes past the head of your TSF. "Tch...I'm gonna need a better weapon next time."
Ginkan SK (00:57:42): *Russel: has a moment of oh snaop he knows this it's a freaking rocket punch this is not something you want to be on the business end on that he's going to try to dodge that one.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:56): Setsuko: "Next time? Are we doing this more than once?"
Aero (00:58:34): [Leos can go]
Ishikar3 (00:58:37): Yuuya: "Looks like you weren't just a rookie to begin with, but lets see a sniper in close battle and see how that goes
Aero (00:58:49): [Yuuya also]
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:46): Setsuko: "It's true that I'm not very experienced... but even I am a soldier."
Ishikar3 (01:00:14): *Seeing the sniper suppressed and his flight proceedint to wedge the TSFs away from the other units Yuuya weaves through the debris and pulls up beside the lead TSF, firing on her from the flank.+
Aero (01:00:34): [Asagi] You just straight up punk him hard, the grenade explodes in front of his face. Severely damaging the AC. "If we were allowed to use Primal Armor here you'd be done for. Even the Granzon would be jealous at the output I can put out." Yuuko can be seen laughing and almost falling out of her seat at this statement. Now pissed off he charges you with a very large Pile Bunker. [React AGAIN]
VJockey (01:00:49): *Well then, looking at all the targets present Leos is going to go for the one that he thinks he can take on in combat! So he dashes through past the various melees to get up close and personal with the Wahr, leaping up to hopefully get out of its firing arc before coming down in a double drop kick!&
VJockey (01:00:57): "JENICIIIIDE KIIIIICK!"
VJockey (01:00:59): "..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:59): Toby: "That guy's more bark than bite!"
VJockey (01:01:06): "No no. That was terrible."
VJockey (01:01:11): "Never doing it again."
Aero (01:01:34): [Russel] "Heh just as planned." You dodge the rocket punch Russel...the problem? It's heading straight for Kei. [React Kei!]
Meraxa (01:01:44): #Kei
Aero (01:01:48): [Approved]
Meraxa (01:02:54): Ken: ...Please, pack some punch. *As he was dodging the other shot, Ken realises whats going on with the rocket punch, and turns his beam spray gun towards it before opening fire. How hard could it be to throw off course?+
Aero (01:03:14): [Seta and Ken] Again it's a very close call but thankfully the shot only hits the left arm. Unforunately that arm belongs to a Genoace so it's out of order.
tengusaur (01:03:17): * Asagi: "Angry because you're losing to a 'kid' ? Give me a break!" In a single move he draws Blue One's katana, clashing it against his opponent's pile bunker. He tries to overpower him and maybe sever the weapon if he can exert enough force! +
Aero (01:03:23): [Ken] Ping.
griefgathering (01:03:52): #Kei (if that's okay)
griefgathering (01:04:00): or @ Ken
griefgathering (01:04:07): However that works
TormTerra (01:04:46): * The second the she saw the rocket punch come from her, Kei pushed for purple-2 to speed upwards. There was no way it could take a hit from that and none of her weaponry had the power to so much as slow it down. She'd just need to try to get a proper view of the battlefield later, once the threat was over +
Meraxa (01:04:54): Ken: Nnnngh. *Down an arm, and the gun is still useless. Great*
Aero (01:05:23): [Approved]
griefgathering (01:06:59): *The good thing about these disembodied limbs is that they can be used at range too, Seta still has to get a bit closer than she'd like, but another magic circle appears in front...and slightly below the Rocket Punch's trajectory, before another disembodied arm rises from it and tries to punch the rocket punch out of its path!+
Aero (01:07:24): [Leos] The Wahr is sent flying back from the force of the kick but he draws two beam daggers in response and rushes at you. [Continue/React]
Aero (01:09:42): [Kei and Seta] At the very last second the Rocket Punch is sent flying away by the second disembodied arm. The fist smashes through a cliff and emerges out the other side unscathed. That would have been really bad if it hit you Kei. The fist returns to it's owner in shame. "Looks like you have some neat tricks on your side also."
VJockey (01:10:13): *Leos smiles as he draws his heat saber... of course close combat was for suckers really so he reverses as he raises his machinegun and fires it along with his four torso mounted machine cannons at the Wahr+
cubey@aol.pl (01:10:48): Setsuko: "Ah.. that was close. But how?"
TormTerra (01:11:48): Kei: "Yeah..." She's pretty clearly trying to catch her bearings again after that. Who used something like that in a spar?
Aero (01:12:00): [Asagi] "Screw you kid, I've defeated Arm Forts. You're nothing compared to me you got that!" You both pass each other, the pile bunker slamming Blue One pretty hard but a few seconds later the pile bunker is severed in half along with the legs of the NEXT. It doesn't look like it'll be getting up any time soon. [REIN DOWNED]
griefgathering (01:12:43): Seta: "Too close..." She's actually winces, as if she's punched a wall or something.
griefgathering (01:12:52): ^She
tengusaur (01:12:57): Asagi: "Oof, that was too close... What is this guy's deal?"
Aero (01:13:55): [Yuuya] Despite the fact that it's just a regular Shiranui, the TSF is easily outpacing yours. The occasional glancing shot hits the machine but it evades damage to it's critical systems. The sub-arm on the back swings up and the machine grabs the PB Blade from it and swings at you. [React]
Ishikar3 (01:13:56): Stella: "well well, looks like the old addage does have some weight still. The bigger they are the harder they fall."
Aero (01:14:35): [Russel, Kei, Asagi can all go]
Aero (01:14:41): [eeeh Setsuko also]
tengusaur (01:14:47): (enemy list?)
Aero (01:14:57): [Enemies: Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui, Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Aero (01:15:12): [Enemies: Wahr(Sniping), Shiranui(Engaging Yuuya), Fubukix3, Grungust Kai(Being Irm)]
Aero (01:15:37): Primo: "Dammit Alex you were supposed to have my back there!"
Ishikar3 (01:16:00): *Yuuya curses loudly as he kicks his TSF back and out of the line of the attack as quickly as he can and tries to drive her back with 120mm rounds.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:18): Setsuko: "We need to maintain the pressure on the AC!"
tengusaur (01:16:40): Asagi: "Pressure? Let me help you with that."
Aero (01:16:58): Alex:"It's your fault for rushing forward"
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:58): Virgola unit 3 leaves its cover, and springs forward! "Eeey!" Wielding the gunnery carver butt-side first, Setsuko slams the implement in Wahr's face!+
Ginkan SK (01:17:16): Russel "I should have seen that one Coming, Irm!"
Ishikar3 (01:17:23): Yuuya: "This stupid piece of crap is supposed to be an upgrade to her unit, it doesn't help if the controls are so difficult to work that you can't take advantage of that!"
tengusaur (01:17:39): * With one AC out of the fight, it's time to engage another one. Asagi drops down towards Wahr from the sky, slashing with his katana in a single, double-handed swing. He's aiming for the arms and his sniper rifle! +
Aero (01:17:57): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Oh are you getting frustrated?" (Directed at Yuuya)
Ishikar3 (01:18:32): Yuuya: "Yeah yeah, laugh it up just like everyone from your damned country does."
TormTerra (01:18:54): * "Seta...Can you prepare to use that thing to block further attacks? I think it's what we have most capable of standing up to something like that. Ken, assist Yuuya. He's keeping that enemy occupied, which should leave her open to attack and even if not, having to defend against two people is a lot more difficult." +
griefgathering (01:20:39): Seta: "...I will try." The reply comes with a small nod.
Meraxa (01:20:53): Ken: ...Ngh, isn't there anyone else?
Aero (01:21:19): [Setsuko and Asagi AND Leos] Well, he wasn't expecting that. "Get back here you coward!" To make matters worse the butt of a gun and a katana suddenly come at it. He backs out, leaving the sniper rifle behind. A large railgun is swung over his shoulders and he takes aim at the three of you and FIRES IT? [React]
Aero (01:21:29): [All three of you]
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:42): Denzel: "Did you forget about us? Press on Ken, Glory Stars will support you."
Aero (01:21:54): Fubuki Pilot #2: "Look at that Mitsuki, he's almost as uptight as you are."
Aero (01:22:03): Fubuki: "Munakataaaaaa...I swear."
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:23): Setsuko: "Aaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:41): *Virgola performs another thruster-assisted jump, trying to get out of the railgun's firing range by going up.+
Ginkan SK (01:22:58): Russel "Still not bad, not bad at all!"
tengusaur (01:23:19): * Blue One shoulder-tackles the enemy AC, trying to disrupt its pilot's aim and make that railgun fire into the sky instead! +
Meraxa (01:23:30): Ken: Tch, guess I have no choice... fine!
VJockey (01:23:49): *Leos is going to dive to the side to avoid the shot!+
Aero (01:25:07): [Yuuya] Isumi: "I was told you were a skilled test pilot but it seems like you just want to blame your machine for your own shortcomings." That's not nearly enough, again the Shiranui moves with grace. If you didn't know better it'd almost seem like an entirely different kind of machine. The PB Training Sword comes down and it sends the Shiranui flying into the dirt.
Aero (01:26:05): Shiranui Second*
Ishikar3 (01:27:00): Yuuya "Gah! Damnit you sound just like that other damned japanese doll. They teach that condescension to you in finishing school or something?"
Aero (01:27:56): Mitsuki: "It's called having respect for the machine you pilot you dolt."
Aero (01:28:19): Mitsuki: "Is he always like that whenever he loses?"
Meraxa (01:28:25): Ken: Yes.
griefgathering (01:29:00): Seta: "That was a quick response..."
Ishikar3 (01:29:03): Yuuya: "I should have figured an operation here would leave me so outnumbered it wasn't worth actually trying to defend myself."
Aero (01:29:50): [Setsuko, Asagi, Leos] The railgun is thankfully knocked into the air and the shot shoots through the clouds. A flare is fired from the command tent.
Aero (01:30:11): Yuuko: "Alright alright that's more than enough, it's all fun and games until someone tries to fire a high powered railgun."
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:15): Denzel: "Can you two stop arguing for just a damn minute?"
tengusaur (01:31:04): Asagi: "Is that it? We've won?"
tengusaur (01:31:19): Asagi: "My first mock battle victory..."
Aero (01:31:33): Yuuko: "You just forced a Ranked Lynx to resort to extremely deadly force because he was shown up."
TormTerra (01:31:45): Kei: "You just had to say it."
tengusaur (01:31:57): Asagi: "...I said that aloud, didn't I."
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:07): Setsuko: "Yes. Sorry."
tengusaur (01:32:27): Asagi feels the power of ulcer intensifying.
griefgathering (01:32:39): Seta: "...This is the same for me as well...a victory in a spar..."
Ishikar3 (01:33:06): Yuuya snorts in his cockpit but has enough sense not to gloat about Asagi's mistake while he's trying to right him machine
Ginkan SK (01:33:17): Russel "I'm still not so sure about the nature exercise ot be honest but still that was ... a workout."
Aero (01:33:19): Yuuko breaks communications with the rest of you to talk to your opponents. A few minutes later they look ready to take their leave.
Aero (01:33:33): Isumi: "I apologize for how things broke down there."
VJockey (01:33:35): "We..."
VJockey (01:33:38): "We did it?"
VJockey (01:33:43): "We won?"
VJockey (01:33:49): O.O
VJockey (01:33:52): X333333
VJockey (01:34:08): [There is much cheering from Leos.]
Ishikar3 (01:34:20): Yuuya: "geeze, that's gonna leave a mark."
Aero (01:34:32): Oddly enough...the Command Tent seems to have disappeared...
Meraxa (01:34:43): Ken: ...Hm?
Ishikar3 (01:34:44): Yuuya: "or rather it would if I wasn't bolted into the seat"
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:55): Setsuko: "It looks like there are amazing people outside of Unity Group as well."
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:04): "But, how are you able to do that?" The last question was aimed at Seta.
TormTerra (01:35:05): Kei: "Why wouldn't there be?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:15): And by that she means everything that just happened.
Aero (01:35:30): The sun begins to set but something seems weird about the entire situation.
Aero (01:35:44): No one has told you what you need to do now.
griefgathering (01:35:44): Seta: "It's...difficult to explain."
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:03): Toby: "So, that's it? Looks like it's time to go back home."
Ishikar3 (01:36:39): Argos flight reforms and regroups near the rest of the UG group.
Aero (01:36:48): Those of you with Radar can see that there's another hostile approaching.
Ishikar3 (01:36:51): Yuuya: "Command, any advisement for the next stage of the operation?
Aero (01:37:00): No response
Ishikar3 (01:37:10): Yuuya: "Command respond"
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:17): Setsuko: "There is a next stage?" That sounds worrying.
griefgathering (01:37:19): Seta: "...What is going on?"
Meraxa (01:37:20): Ken: Something's not right...
TormTerra (01:37:27): Kei: "Something's approaching, be ready to respond. Whatever an appropriate response will be."
VJockey (01:37:38): "Huh?"
tengusaur (01:37:54): Asagi: "If this is some kind of a trap..."
Ishikar3 (01:37:57): Yuuya: "Argos flight let's move up and get a visual on this thing."
VJockey (01:38:02): "Do you think they went out for coffee or something and forgot to tell us?"
TormTerra (01:38:42): Kei: "No, I don't, Leos. It seems rather unlikely they didn't leave someone to inform us of what to do if they did."
Aero (01:40:19): None of you seem to have any data on the unknown...wait no. One of you do.
Ishikar3 (01:40:36): Stella "It's a TSF, data link is showing the records in your TSF's database Yuuya, It's a Type-00 Takemikazuchi"
Aero (01:40:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Aj7_U1h-yE

Ishikar3 (01:41:30): Yuuya "The hell, an elite japanese TSF for the royal guard? She can't possibly be that petty can she?"
Aero (01:41:57): She's not packing training swords either, the blades on the back of the machine are for real combat.
VJockey (01:42:18): "Ow.."
VJockey (01:42:21): "Owowow"
VJockey (01:42:24): "My eyes.."
Aero (01:42:25): The yellow TSF draws the PB Blade and points it at all of you.
VJockey (01:42:32): "They hurt! Too bright!"
tengusaur (01:42:34): Asagi: "I didn't know there are gold TSFs... What does it want from us?"
Ishikar3 (01:43:03): Tarisa: "Oh, so the princess wants to play too? I'm up for a round." yelling as she charges forward
Meraxa (01:43:14): Ken: Wait!
TormTerra (01:43:27): Kei: "Why are you bringing actual weapons to a training exercise?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:30): Denzel: "A TSF elite? We should be honored..." He smirks.
Aero (01:43:34): No answer.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:56): Setsuko: "Please respond! Why do you maintain radio silence?"
Aero (01:44:23): [Tarisa] The Takemikazuchi sidesteps Tarisa's charge and sends it slamming into the ground. The machine even steps on the fallen TSF and skewers the machine with her sword.
Aero (01:44:35): It is not joking around
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:40): Toby: "Damn!"
tengusaur (01:44:46): Asagi: "Hey! This is just a training exercise! Not a real fight!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:53): Toby: "Stop fooling around, are you trying to kill somenoe?!"
Aero (01:44:55): [Enemies: Takemikazuchi 00-C]

[Initiative: Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko, Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos]
Meraxa (01:44:57): Ken: I think it just became one.
Aero (01:45:10): [Russel, Kei, Asagi, Setsuko GO]
griefgathering (01:45:27): Seta is all sorts of >_< right now.
Aero (01:45:32): (00-F sorry)
tengusaur (01:46:28): * "I'll stop this maniac!" Both mecha have swords. Good. Let's see how the enemy pilot likes it when Asagi zooms in and then attacks upwards with a rising slash! +
TormTerra (01:47:54): * "She's not listening. We need to subdue her. She seems to focus on Argos Flight. Glory Stars lay down suppressing fire to keep her from getting to them and allowing Asagi to move in. Argos Flight, try to keep your distance and rely on ranged attacks as much as possible." +
Aero (01:48:11): [Asagi] The slash is parried by a PB blade slamming into the side of the blade. The Takemikazuchi thrusts it's hand out towards Blue One. [Ract]
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:25): Denzel: "Make sure Tarisa is alright. Get off, you asshole!" *With a forceful charge, Virgola unit 1 slams its Carver at the Takemikazuchi. While Denzel has the pilot's attention, the two others bombard its legs with Straight Turret shots+
VJockey (01:48:58): [Leos is going to move over to the fallen TSF anxiously.]
VJockey (01:49:10): "Hello? You're still alive in there right?"
VJockey (01:49:14): "...Right?"
Ishikar3 (01:49:30): Tarisa *Loud and constant profanity*
tengusaur (01:49:55): * "Tch..." She's much better at swordfighting than Asagi is. He really should've seen this coming. He raises his sword for a parry, trying to block the opponent's strike just like she did with his own right now. +
Ginkan SK (01:50:07): *Russel: "...live fire?" Russel does not like this and he's not about to let his forces be cut down because some royal is going nuts. "Bagman here all unituy units, use lethal force if needed to protect yourselves. Bring that unit down. That's a direct order, if you have to kill the pilot to protect your self? DO IT!" Russel now pulls a steel knife out and is closing in on the crazed TSF. He's not playing with honor he's playing like putting down a mad dog he's oing to get them from behind with the knife trying to get it into some of the more vital systems+
VJockey (01:50:19): "..She's okay!"
griefgathering (01:50:41): Seta: "Thank goodness..."
tengusaur (01:51:09): Asagi: "Get her out of there to safety!"
TormTerra (01:52:17): Kei: "And support Asagi. There's only one of her, she can't respond to all angles of attack at once."
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:40): Setsuko: "You cannot be serious... why did it come to this?!" It was supposed to be a training fight, not a battle to the death.
Aero (01:57:55): [Asagi and Glory Stars and Russel] Almost as if she was responding to that statement Kei the TSF's subarm swings up with the PB Blade, knocking away the the Carver. With the Blade in her right hand she sends Asagi flying back from the force of her blow. The machine turns back towards Virgola unit 1 and...impales the machine's shoulder with it's left hand, pulling the machine in the way of the shots from Denzel. Once those were blocked she pulls the bladed fist back and extends a large forearm knife to parry the steel knife, finally swinging her PB Blade at him at the end of that crazy sequence. [React Russel]
Aero (01:58:03): [Seta, Ken, Yuuya, Leos can go]
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:41): Denzel: "Graaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:52): Toby: "Chief! Shit!"
griefgathering (01:58:52): Seta: "This is...too dangerous..."
VJockey (01:58:56): [Leos watches all of this and feels himself break out into a sweat... this was like-....]
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:20): Denzel: "Not yet! We are the Glory Stars, don't think it's over!"
VJockey (02:00:06): [If this was the case he couldn't back down. He puts the Jenice's gun away and points the machine's heat sword at the Takemikazuchi.]
VJockey (02:00:12): "HEY!"
TormTerra (02:00:36): Kei: "Leos, stand down. Provide supporting fire, don't engage in melee."
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:51): Setsuko: "This is a bad idea, this is a very bad idea..."
Ishikar3 (02:00:52): *Screaming in anger VG and Stella charge forward trying to suppress the unit and get their fallen comrade to safety. Yuuya attempts to fire his machine guns but finds them empty so he draws his training blade and charges in behind them to try to force yui back with a blow coming from the lower left to upper right.+ "So you really want to do this now Lt. Takamura, fine, I'll give you what you want I'm right here!"
tengusaur (02:01:30): Asagi lands heavily. "Gah...! How ridiculously powerful is she? She's just one pilot!"
VJockey (02:02:31): "But everyone's just charging in! If I shoot they'll get hit!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:03): Setsuko: "It's a supremely powerful melee unit... stand back! Everyone, attack from a distance!"
Meraxa (02:03:12): Ken: Huu... *Ken is... actually put off, by what he sees, but even with an arm disabled, and a gun that probably won't do a thing, he has to fight...* You'll get a chance Leos. At least your gun is worth a damn. *Ken says as he tosses the beam spray gun aside*
Ginkan SK (02:03:33): (So we got several people in melee right?)
Ginkan SK (02:03:41): (checking before I do something so I don't hit someone.
Aero (02:03:53): (Just you and Denzel now)
VJockey (02:04:17): "..."
griefgathering (02:04:17): Seta: "I am afraid I cannot be of much use here..." Because melee unit on foot, and ranged attacks are a bad idea...if only she was a nin-ja.
VJockey (02:04:21): " 'kay."
TormTerra (02:04:34): Kei: "And if you charge in, you'll all get in the way of each other. But with careful aiming you can still hit at range."
Aero (02:04:36): (Oh and Yuuya)
Ginkan SK (02:04:56): (Checkiung with Cubes before I react)
Ishikar3 (02:05:14): (np)
VJockey (02:05:40): *Leos reluctantly sheaths the heat blade... and promptly moves to pick up the cast aside beam spray as he drew his machinegun out again, taking a sharp breath as he carefully took aim and fired with guns akimbo!+
griefgathering (02:06:01): (Skipping this turn with Seta so people can get moves in)
Ginkan SK (02:06:40): Russel opens a channel to Denzel. <get clear="clear" i'm="I&#39;m" going="going" to="to" try="try" and="and" keep="keep" them="them" busy="busy" with="with" a="a" point="point" blank="blank" shot="shot" form="form" the="the" twin="twin" beam="beam" canons.="canons.">
Ginkan SK (02:07:34): *Russel seme to be aware of just how serious things are. Russel's forced to attempt to defend however. He's parried and now it's coming for him he's forced back and it seems Russel's perfing to defends, for now. If he gets hit that's one thing he's got TSF in range of the Twin Beam Canon range. He gives Denzel a count to five before he fires. He's likely going to pay for this, but all bets are off. "TWIN BEAM CANON FIRE!" The canosn roar to life at close range, but will it do any good. That is the question, on his mind.+
Meraxa (02:08:18): Ken: Hee... YAH! *After a brief charge, Ken leaps up, firing the Genoace's boosters in the same moment. The machine is carried forward through the air, above the immediate line of fire, before eventually gravity does its work. The Genoace... spins! Building up momentum before swinging out one leg...!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:20): Denzel: "Come on, come on..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:22): @ RUssel
Aero (02:08:31): [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:17): Denzel: "Thanks for the warning. Now... rogue TSF pilot, elite or not!" *He's getting away, his unit tries to back out.
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:35): *By firing its large beam cannon at point blank range and use the momentum to throw the Virgola back!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:48): Denzel: "Don't take us lightly!"
Aero (02:19:19): [Ken, Russel, Yuuya, Denzel, Leos] This would be really bad...if Yui didn't get some convenient support defends. When Ken comes flying in she grabs the Genoace out of the air and tosses it in the direction of Russel's Beams before doing the same thing with Yuuya, grabbing his sword arm with her left arm while returning the PB blade to it's subarm. She barely manages to toss the Shiranui towards a cliff, ditching her PB Blade to leave something blocking the huge beam from the Virgola. The beam whizzes by the Takemikazuchi, the right of the machine scorched just by being near the beam. She's still rushing at you with her remaining blade Yuuya. [React Yuuya]
Aero (02:19:38): The amount of friendly fire in stage is magical.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:03): #Yuuya
Aero (02:20:08): [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:27): Setsuko told everyone to use ranged attacks. But...
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:45): Setsuko: "No, why are you doing this? Don't the two of you know each other?!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:41): "Stop, please!" *Virgola leaps in front of Yuuya's TSF, and raises its Gunnery Carver. The physical Jack Carver blade appears at the end, like a spear's tip, held in front defensively to dissuade the Takemikazuchi from attacking.+
Ishikar3 (02:21:58): Yuuya: "Shit!" *Taking his blade back up to his hand he rises and begins to charge back towards her.+ "Stay back, she's after me and anyone else is just going to get hurt.
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:36): Setsuko: "She will kill you!"
Ishikar3 (02:23:39): Yuuya: "Then it's only me, didn't you see what she did there. If she's so damned fired up to have me then I'm going to make it hell for her but I won't let anyone else's death be on my conscience."
VJockey (02:24:07): "No."
tengusaur (02:24:13): Asagi: "What did you do to piss her off?"
VJockey (02:24:16): "She isn't going to kill you."
tengusaur (02:24:23): Actually, Asagi can probably imagine what.
Aero (02:24:50): [Setsuko and Yuuya] The TSF elbows the blade of the Carver away and charges straight past the Virgola. She might only have one blade left but that's more than enough to deal with you Yuuya. The TSF is putting all of it's strength into this swing. [REACT]
Ishikar3 (02:24:56): Yuuya: "I don't know, first words she ever really said to me were that I was a disgrace to all japanese and that was before I'd said word one to her."
TormTerra (02:26:09): Kei: "Why do we keep running into lunatics? Regardless...She's too dangerous at close range. Keep your distance, focus on ranged attacks and if she approaches you, focus on putting distance between you."
VJockey (02:26:36): "Yuuya?"
VJockey (02:26:41): "Do you mind if I kill her?"
Ishikar3 (02:26:45): *Bringing up his blade full fore to match Yuuya turns both thrusters into opposite directions to add to the spin while the knife sheathes on his arms turn into the to aid the rising spin.+
VJockey (02:26:54): "I don't like it when people hurt my friends and say bad things to them."
Ishikar3 (02:27:10): Yuuya: "Goddammnnn you!!"
VJockey (02:27:32): @Yuuya?
Aero (02:27:46): [Denied]
Aero (02:29:06): [Yuuya] Now you're getting it, that actually forces her back a bit. However, she's charging in again and it doesn't look like she's going to back off this time. [REACT YUUYA]
Ishikar3 (02:31:28): *Charging forwards Yuuya waits until the last minute to spin and slide to bring his blade down as hard as he can striking for the Takemikazuchi's wrists/hands to drive the offending blade away from her.+
Ishikar3 (02:32:26): Yuuya: *unintellibible rising yell*
Aero (02:32:56): [Yuuya] And...success. The Takemikazuchi's blade is sent flying backwards and lands far away from her hands. The TSF stops after that.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:13): Setsuko holds her breath... and finally releases.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:20): Nevermind being shoved out of the way like that.
griefgathering (02:34:13): Seta: "Is it over...?"
Ginkan SK (02:34:19): (Did I miss my next go in dealing with the puppies?
Ishikar3 (02:34:23): Yuuya: ragged breathing "what was that." *Yuuya looks down at the arms and blade of his TSF* "was she trying to drive me to teach that..."
tengusaur (02:34:23): Asagi: "That's it, right? Tell me that's it."
TormTerra (02:34:31): Kei: "What just happened?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:48): Toby: "What the hell were you thinking?!"
Aero (02:34:55): Yuuko: ""Right are we all done here yet? That good enough for you White Fang One?"
Aero (02:35:12): Oh hey suddenly the command tent is back up and running and the purple haired lady is on your comms.
Ishikar3 (02:35:17): Yuuya: "You mean this was planned from the START?"
tengusaur (02:35:35): Asagi: "What the hell!"
Meraxa (02:35:38): Ken: ...What? *Ken is... sounding slightly ticked as he struggles to get his smoking Genoace to its feet*
Aero (02:35:53): Yuuko: "Oh of course."
VJockey (02:35:54): "...."
VJockey (02:35:59): "Can I kill her too?"
Aero (02:36:02): Yuuko: "It was really hard to get everything right."
Aero (02:36:28): Yuuko: "You should have seen how hard it was to move the command tent."
Meraxa (02:36:51): Ken: ...WHAT?
Ishikar3 (02:36:52): Yuuya: *odd word fragments as words fail him*
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:57): Denzel: "An advance warning wouldn't hurt the next time, before everyone almost dies."
Aero (02:37:01): Yuuko: "Usually I'm not one to respond to personal requests but it did come from the Imperial Royal Guards."
tengusaur (02:37:02): Asagi: "Not as hard as almost dying here..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:11): He wipes the sweat off his brow, that was too close.
TormTerra (02:37:26): Kei: "Why would you even do that? What purpose could this possibly serve?"
VJockey (02:37:42): "Because they were jerks?"
tengusaur (02:37:45): Asagi: "This is finally over, right?"
VJockey (02:37:49): "Can we kill them Kei?"
VJockey (02:37:53): "Please?"
Ishikar3 (02:37:56): Yuuya: *just what was that, is that the feeling of being one with a TSF, is that what she wanted to teach?*
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:22): Setsuko: "Yuuya, are you alright? You seem out of it..."
TormTerra (02:38:26): Kei: "No, we're not killing anybody."
Aero (02:38:26): Yuuko: "Not quite...they should be here pretty soon so you might want to get that damage repaired."
Aero (02:39:11): Right on cue, an alarm rings out.
Meraxa (02:39:11): Ken: ...'THEY'?!
Aero (02:39:12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5JICa_ZxBk
Ishikar3 (02:39:14): Yuuya: "eh, no I'm fine, I just think that I finally got something about something she said to me. Maybe this is what I needed in the long run
Ishikar3 (02:39:44): Argos flight jerks in their cockpits. Yuuya: "BETA here, what the hell!"
tengusaur (02:39:51): Asagi: "BETA?!"
VJockey (02:39:54): "............."
Ishikar3 (02:39:57): Stella: "Kei GET DOWN NOW!!"
VJockey (02:40:06): "Kei. What was that about about not killing people?"
Ishikar3 (02:40:11): She begins to fly up to grab the younger pilot.
Aero (02:40:28): Yuuko: "We are pretty close to Sadogashima, it sure is a good thing we had all these robots here."
griefgathering (02:40:40): Seta: "...."
Aero (02:40:42): Kei you're barely brought down in time as lasers ring through the sky.
Ishikar3 (02:40:46): VG quickly moves to recover Tarisa's fallen unit and evacuate her from the battlefield.
VJockey (02:40:47): "Miss Not Shirakawa?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:49): Denzel: "This sounds too much like a coincidence..."
VJockey (02:40:55): "I would like to say I hate you."
VJockey (02:40:58): "I hate you a lot."
Ishikar3 (02:42:12): Yuuya quickly moves to the re-arming station replacing his discarded assault cannons with fresh ones and removing the sheathe from his training blade. *Let's see just how well this lesson carries though.*
Aero (02:42:27): Yuuko: "Good, I'm not here to make you like me. I'm here to make sure humanity survives. Now get fixed up...we've brought enough parts here to repair most machines. There's also plenty of ammo"
griefgathering (02:42:33): Meanwhile, Seta completely bails from panicking. It seems that Code 991 is too much for her...
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:15): Virgola unit 1 is there to resupply and quickly repair.
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:28): Denzel: "Are you sure you did not predict the Beta coming and brought us here on purpose to stop them?"
Aero (02:43:41): Yuuko: "Of course not, I'm not a psychic."
Ishikar3 (02:43:46): Yuuya: "If we could predict the BETA we'd have won by now."
griefgathering (02:43:48): And that takes form when someone tries to look for her...she's just gone.
VJockey (02:44:03): [Well Leos is going to get his Jenice sorted out quick as you please, his face set into an unhappy expression.]
Meraxa (02:44:07): Ken: 'Here to make sure humanity survives'. And there was no reason she couldn't be upfront about that?! *Ken's mostly grumbling at this point, and some of its funny, given his background... nevertheless, he gets the Genoace fixed up(
tengusaur (02:44:10): Asagi: "Good to hear about resupply at least. I'll need more weapons for this."
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:12): Denzel: "Just checking."
VJockey (02:44:21): "No. Because she's a terrible person."
Ishikar3 (02:44:27): Yuuya:" Try to keep the other classes between you and the laser class, we'll try to go hunt them down by the will not shoot through another BETA to hit you.
Ginkan SK (02:44:29): *Russel gets a look of horror on his face with what's going on he does move in whith his steel knife. He's wathcing the unit, if it twiches he will be going for a kill shot. Then the Alarms go off. "You seem to like the Adler Kotch method of pilot training,. You make me sick, your scum just like most of the Divine Crusade was." Russel is beyond words with his outrage over what was done but now there's aliens coming here. "I'm not so certain this isn't a setup on their part. Given the tactics they are willing to use on allies."
VJockey (02:44:30): "She's a terrible person Ken."
Ginkan SK (02:44:36): (Russel does not approve -50
Aero (02:45:07): Yuuko: "I haven't resorted to torture yet, besides Adler Kotch was an amateur compared to me."
Meraxa (02:45:34): Ken: ...
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:39): Setsuko: "It's not a setup! That'd require..." She's not sure what to say, quickly making preparations as the worst is coming. "H... huh? Where is Seta?"
Aero (02:46:18): Yuuko: "Anyways I need to return to the actual command post to help this operation. I wish you the best of luck Unity Group."
VJockey (02:46:23): "... I don't know who that Adler person is but you're just making yourself sound worse."
Meraxa (02:46:29): Ken: Yeah right you do.
VJockey (02:46:30): [Disillusion face.]
Ishikar3 (02:47:59): Yuuya: "Argos lead and 4 will take the laser class. Watch out for the front shells of the destroyer class they can take multiple 120mm shots, get behind them.
tengusaur (02:49:08): Asagi: "Where are they now? How much time do we have?"
Aero (02:50:24): Actual Command Post: "They'll be here in 20 minutes they've emerged from a Sadogashima Tunnel while covering themselves with the laser-class"
tengusaur (02:51:10): Asagi: "That's enough time to evacuate everyone that needs evacuating."
VJockey (02:51:31): "Do you actually mean 20 minutes?"
VJockey (02:51:54): [Yeah, after what happened a short while ago Leos REEEEALLY isn't trusting them.]
VJockey (02:52:08): "I mean they could mean 20 seconds."
TormTerra (02:52:24): (Any civilians in the area who need evacuation?)
Aero (02:52:29): Actual Command Post: "We have no reason to joke around with this."
Aero (02:52:44): (Civilians were also conviniently evacuated while you guys were dealing with the Takemikazuchi)
Ishikar3 (02:52:58): Stella: "Kei are you alright, I'm sorry I didn't have more time to explain but I knew we had to get you down fast, laser class killed to many pilots early on and I was worried.
tengusaur (02:54:06): Asagi: "Stay near the ground and these lasers won't target you, right?"
TormTerra (02:54:24): Kei: "I'm fine, don't worry. Is everybody operational? We need to be able to cover the command personal while we move out."
Ishikar3 (02:54:38): Yuuya: "Correct, they watch a certain arc but the best way to avoid fire is keep another BETA between them and you.
Aero (02:54:51): Actual Command Post: "Correct, laser-class will also not fire through each other. Try to use that to your advantage."
Ishikar3 (02:54:57): Yuuya: "These guys have a 100% clean friendly fire rate."
VJockey (02:55:25): "Does that mean we should pick one up and use it as a shield?"
VJockey (02:55:31): "Or is that a really bad idea?"
Ishikar3 (02:56:00): Yuuya: "Never heard of anyone doing that but hey might work. Just don't kill yourself doing it Leos.
Aero (02:56:12): One way another you've all joined the defensive line. Setsuko and the Glory Stars were asked to assist a smaller front. Not only that but Seta has gone missing throughout all of this.
VJockey (02:56:24): "I promise I'll stay alive!"
Aero (02:56:55): Kei, you were given details on the variety of BETA Classes.
Ishikar3 (02:57:10): Yuuya: "One final warning, watch the tank class, the smallish red ones, they'll swarm your mech and rip you apart. Highest Eishi kill rates there but really easy to kill."
tengusaur (02:58:05): Asagi: "I've dealt with Wulgaru. I can deal with BETA too."
Ishikar3 (02:59:19): Stella: "A lot of pilots just as good as you have died, don't think this is going to be easy. Command, are there any AL equipped support units in operational support range?"
Meraxa (02:59:24): Ken: Lets just get this over with. *Ken is gonna be making extensive use of his gym after this...*
Ginkan SK (03:00:03): * Russel "Adler Kotch? Leos you don't want to know." Russel does not voice he agrees yes she's not painting a good picture of herself at all. "Understood command." He's got more imporant things to worry about here. "ALl right get switched iover to live rounds, we got aliens to worry about."
Aero (03:01:46): The ground begins to shake and you can see them approaching off in th distance.

Aero (03:03:03): [Enemies: 50x Grappler Class, 100x Destroyer Class, 20x Heavy Laser Class, 30x Laser Class, 10x Fort Class, 1000x Tank Class]
[Initiative: Russel, Kei, Asagi Ken, Yuuya, Leos]
griefgathering (03:03:19): As for Seta, well...
griefgathering (03:03:26): She's hiding behind a rock, for all that's worth.
Aero (03:03:30): http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904172812/muvluv/images/6/6f/Betasize.png
griefgathering (03:03:42): Any of the UG pilots can see her.
VJockey (03:03:55): [Leos is quietly counting them all off.]
VJockey (03:04:02): "....Wow."
Aero (03:04:05): (Right to left: Laser Class, Heavy Laser Class, Fort Class, Tank Class, Grappler Class, Destroyer Class, Small Class that probably won't cause any problems.)
Aero (03:04:31): [Russel, Kei, Asagi you can go]
Aero (03:04:46): Hey look Leos, you found Seta.
Aero (03:04:51): She's cowering behind a rock.
tengusaur (03:05:00): Asagi: "Damn, some of them are really huge..."
VJockey (03:05:04): "Eh?!"
VJockey (03:05:18): "Miss Seta! If you're scared you should really get out of here!"
Ishikar3 (03:05:34): Yuuya: "Watch the tail on the big ones, It's a whip weapon with a corrosive coating."
griefgathering (03:05:56): Seta: "I can't just abandon everyone..."
Aero (03:06:04): Seta you can hear footsteps.
Aero (03:06:14): The ground itself is shaking and this is just all too much.
griefgathering (03:06:24): She's going to look for the source.
tengusaur (03:06:37): *Asagi: "Let's thin out their numbers first!" From afar, Asagi braces his feet against the ground and then fires several large shots from his beam cannon, not aiming at any creatures specifically, just into the middle of their horde! +
VJockey (03:06:42): "But there's monsters! You-"
Aero (03:06:42): And Leos, you see Seta disappear behind some rocks. DOES THOU FOLLOW?
VJockey (03:06:50): [Yes he does!]
Aero (03:07:28): Whelp...
Aero (03:07:39): When you come around the rock you see...
Aero (03:07:40): Well...
Aero (03:08:48): You only see Seta's face for a second before it's in the mouth of a tank class...she's torn clean in half as the rest of the smaller BETA swarm the leftovers. There's just blood and gore everywhere.
VJockey (03:08:57): "........................"
VJockey (03:09:06): "MISS SETAAAAAAAAA!"
VJockey (03:09:16): [Yeah everyone can hear that scream.]
Meraxa (03:09:20): Ken: !
tengusaur (03:09:23): Asagi: "W, what?"
TormTerra (03:09:44): * "Make sure to always keep another BETA between you and the the laser classes. Stella, Russel use any openings you see to shoot the lasers. Picking them off will improve our ability to maneuver immensely. Everyone else keep your distance for now...Leos, what happened? Can you help her? +
Ishikar3 (03:09:57): Stella: "What! No she should have been evaced already, BETA are too dangerous to humans on foot.
VJockey (03:10:36): "M..Monsters!"
VJockey (03:10:40): "Monsters!"
TormTerra (03:11:28): Kei: "Leos, fall back. Can anything be done to save her? If yes, we will help you, but don't stay there alone."
Ishikar3 (03:11:29): Stella: "Leos no, calm down, charging in here is just going to have you get yourself killed.
Aero (03:11:35): [Asagi] Beam weapons are extremely effective against the BETA, the beams rip right through those Mohs 11 shells but they care little about the corpses of their allies. The Destroyers continue to come in and it makes a beeline right for you. [React]
VJockey (03:12:09): "Ate-"
VJockey (03:12:14): "It ate her-"
VJockey (03:12:26): [Leos sounded like he was about to go into hysterics]
Meraxa (03:12:33): Ken: ...I... what...
Aero (03:12:45): [Russel and TSF Team take your Kei actions when you can]
VJockey (03:12:46): "They're eating her.."
TormTerra (03:13:50): Kei: "Somebody go and retrieve him...Somebody with a big unit."
Ishikar3 (03:14:13): *Stella sets up with her support cannon and shoots out the legs of one destroyer class to open a window to fire at the Laser Class behind it.+
Ginkan SK (03:14:14): (Sec)
griefgathering (03:14:28): Well, Leos...
tengusaur (03:14:36): * Asagi: "What...?! Why didn't she leave the area? Damn!" Seeing those very large BETAs coming in, he draws Blue One's spear, then tries to meet them in melee! But instead of charging head-on, he's flanking, trying to look for weak points in their armor and then stab into there. +
griefgathering (03:14:37): This is how horrible the BETA really are.
griefgathering (03:14:55): But something is wrong, and it's not the BETA.
griefgathering (03:15:17): All the blood, the gore...turns solid black.
griefgathering (03:15:35): Even all the bits in the BETA's mouths.
griefgathering (03:15:57): The largest puddle there...
griefgathering (03:16:07): Now has 17 eyes, glowing orange.
VJockey (03:16:30): [Now whatever Leos expected. It wasn't that.]
VJockey (03:16:37): "..I-"
VJockey (03:16:42): "... Eyes..?"
Meraxa (03:17:03): Ken: What do you mean eyes?
Aero (03:17:21): [Stella] The Destroyer loses it's balance and falls to the ground, the Laser Class behind them are destroyed but that leaves an open line of sight to Stella's TSF. [React?]
VJockey (03:17:26): [Yeah sorry Ken, Leos has no idea how to clarify.]
griefgathering (03:17:29): *And from the puddle, a giant serpentine tongue suddenly sticks out, lashing at all the nearby BETA and dragging them towards it...+
griefgathering (03:18:05): If you've ever seen an animal retaliating, that's how this feels for some reason.
Aero (03:18:31): [Ken Yuuya Leos can all go]
Ishikar3 (03:19:04): *Firing of a staccato of fire at the laser class Stella immediately breaks to the side and in line behind yuuya as he begins to weave his way through the BETA using his blade to stagger Destroyer class and his assault cannon to finish them off from behind.+
Ginkan SK (03:19:08): *Russel will worry about personal issues with others right now. He watches in horror as the other is eaten. "Form up, we need to keep our fire focused don't let them draw you off!"


Russel's machine is already locking on to the living nightmares. It's not long before several split missile pods are launching into the front line of the Beta units. He's intending to try and to suppress them. "You heard them she claims they don't fire through their own units. Watch it though." The missiles cork screw though the air while the large beam canons on the back of Russel's machine swing into the place and prefer to fire but he's going to need time to fire. Then he catches sight of the horror show what in the name of all that's holy? No he's got to focus, he's got to focus on fighting here.


"Octo-2 engaging beta forces. Attempting to provide support fire."


Russel also makes sure the Tessla drive is ready to go, he does not want to get caught in close combat with these spawn of lovecraft.+
Aero (03:20:32): [Asagi] The spear pings off of the mohs 11 shell, once you finally get around to the exposed rear though the spear finds it's mark. The Fort Class BETA now has it's non-existent sights on you and a very large whip-like tails flies out. [React]
Aero (03:21:25): [Seta] The BETA are drawn into the pool and disappear within it... Whatever was happening was not something the BETA were used to dealing with.
VJockey (03:21:49): "Th.. the eyes..."
VJockey (03:21:56): "They ate the BETA!"
Ginkan SK (03:22:12): Russel "Leos! I don't know focus on staying alive!"
griefgathering (03:22:36): Nom. Now, before this all gets out of hand, Leos; you're not being targeted at all.
Meraxa (03:23:06): Ken: ...Great. *Ken can't tell what to think at this point, and so instead decides to simply attack. Which means charging ahead, firing the beamspray gun ath the ridiculous swarm of little enemies+
tengusaur (03:23:07): *Asagi: "What the hell is this? Stay away!" He's backing away quickly, swinging his spear in a defensive circle - if any of those tails get close enough, its halberd-like blade will cut into them from a safe distance, preferably before they reach Blue One! +
VJockey (03:23:17): [Leos was ramrod straight in his seat, possibly panicking as well] "Right!"
griefgathering (03:23:47): In fact the 'whatever it is' even cringes like it just ate something awful-tasting...but all the bits coalesce...and form something vaguely human looking.
VJockey (03:24:07): *So he fires EVERYTHING into the crowd of monsters and sweeps the collected firepower of both guns in his hands and the guns on his Jenice's torso along them+
VJockey (03:24:19): (Target is the small fry more or less.)
Aero (03:24:25): [Asagi] Your spear is knocked away and the Fort Class lowers it's body towards the ground...it's getting ready to do...something. [You may continue to react]
griefgathering (03:24:56): And that vaguely human-looking thing eventually returns into Seta's regular form. Complete with clothing.
Ishikar3 (03:25:22): #Asagi
griefgathering (03:25:22): Seta: "...I knew this was not a good idea..."
Aero (03:25:36): [Leos] Well the combined crazy ballistics of both of the guns against the small fry cuts down their numbers severely. You're now in the danger zone, having stayed there for this long. Several Grappler arms are swung towards you. [React]
griefgathering (03:25:53): #Leos
Aero (03:26:13): [Approved]
tengusaur (03:27:11): Asagi: "What is it doing trying to do? I don't know this thing's abilities!" With the spear knocked out of his hand, he pulls out the beam cannon and fires at the huge creature again! It worked well against smaller BETAs! +
griefgathering (03:27:19): *The Grapplers...are met by a disembodied leg sticking out of a magic circle. It's a straight kick to knock their attacks off-course!+
VJockey (03:27:23): "S...Stay away! STAY AWAY!"
Aero (03:27:23): [Ken] Hurray, the beamspray gun can actually hurt those little swarms. They manage to leap onto the Genoace though and begin to munch. [React]
VJockey (03:27:35): *Leos is going to leap backwards and try to shoot them+
TormTerra (03:27:38): Kei: "It'll release more of them...Hopefully killing it before it does so stops it."
Ishikar3 (03:28:11): *Yuuya turns his boosters on full blast and charges past Asagi opening fire with 120mm hesh rounds and raking his blade across it's underside near it's legs.+
tengusaur (03:28:13): Asagi: "So it's like a living transport?"
TormTerra (03:28:51): Kei: "Yes."
Meraxa (03:29:51): Ken: REALLY not the best day for you to do this! *Ken will punch his own unit he has to get them off, and otherwise crash all about.+
Aero (03:30:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGHwR8UprWs
Aero (03:30:33):
[Russel] The Bagman Barrage tears through the swarm, beam weapons turned against them works pretty well. The missiles fly into the swarm sending charred BETA flesh everywhere. The beams simply evaporate those that try to get close. However, there are plenty more of them. Another set of Grapplers manage to reach you and take a swing. [React]
griefgathering (03:32:32): Seta herself is still pretty wobbly from her experience that she has no intention of repeating, but...she activates the communicator she has with her, which is somehow still intact. "Does this still work...?"
Aero (03:32:50): [Seta and Leos] The arms are knocked away and Leos manages to pick off a few more. You MIGHT want to explain yourself soon Seta.
Ishikar3 (03:33:27): Stella: "Seta? But I thought.... What happened?
VJockey (03:33:42): "Sh..."
VJockey (03:34:08): "They..."
Ginkan SK (03:34:09): *Russel now is force into cloose combat, he's forced to fight them with his steel knife and he attemps to fend them off while his beam canons are charging.
VJockey (03:34:20): [Leos only could let out a weak whimpering noise.]
griefgathering (03:34:35): Seta: "This...is why I could not tell you some of our secrets..."
Ginkan SK (03:34:57): +
Aero (03:35:10): [Yuuya and Asagi] The Fort Class is knocked down and one moment later the hesh round blows the lower body of the Fort wide open. Inside of it you can all see hundreds of more BETA. Thankfully they are all turned to dust from the Beam Cannon. The Fort stops moving after that.
Meraxa (03:35:13): Ken: Maybe you can explain NOW since you apparently broke the mind of a teammate!
TormTerra (03:35:17): Kei: "You were eaten..." Why did she have to end up with this?
tengusaur (03:36:07): Asagi: "...Thanks." He admits this grudgingly to Yuuya.
Ishikar3 (03:36:46): Yuuya: "No problem, care to try for seconds while I head off the laser class?"
Aero (03:36:52): [Ken] it's not working so well! You get a few off but the ones remaining are still chewing into the Genoace and that munching sound is getting dangerously closer. [React!]
Ishikar3 (03:37:26): #ken?
VJockey (03:37:28): #Ken?
Aero (03:37:28): [Kei Asagi Seta can all go]
Aero (03:37:31): [Both approved]
tengusaur (03:37:35): Asagi: "Don't mind if I do. And... Is that girl immortal...?"
Aero (03:37:43): Otherwise he's going to crash into more BETA
griefgathering (03:37:55): Seta: "...To put it simply, I...am not human. However, there is no time to explain the rest, right now...the BETA are the targets."
Meraxa (03:37:56): Ken: ...Of all the days...
Aero (03:38:33): [Russel] REALLY BAD IDEA, the steel knife shatters from a single punch and the second arm slams into the Gespenst's chest. Crushing several systems.
VJockey (03:38:54): *Hey Ken? Leos already had to see someone get eaten so he'd rather not have someone who he shared friendship pudding with get turned into a BETA treat, he's rushing to your side to remove the Tank Class... and by remove I mean literally crush them in the Jenice's hands and splatter gore all over both MS+
tengusaur (03:39:42): * Asagi takes another Fort-class on his sights, ready to fire several beams at it! But between each shot, he's moving around, circling the enemy group - to catch more BETA in the blasts, but also to quickly use more of them as obstructions against potential incoming lasers. +
Ishikar3 (03:39:58): *yuuya turns away from his course upon seeing Ken being swarmed and holsters his assault cannon and replaceing it with his knife. Pushing his unit to full boost he tears through the intervening Beta and begins to use his knife to clear the unit and sword to keep the area under control.+ Yuuya: "Ken give us a minute and then get out, we'll take you into one of our cockpits."
TormTerra (03:40:11): Kei: "I don't know...Not sure I want to know."
TormTerra (03:40:41): (Uh, that was an answer to Asagi...Sorry for being unclear. <.<)
griefgathering (03:41:19): *It's taking all she has not to just freeze there right now, but Seta summons those limbs again; this time, both arms appear - covered in light. They let loose a blinding barrage of punches at the nearby Grapplers and Tanks, a barrage that ends with a charged punch that creates a searing explosion!+
Meraxa (03:41:37): Ken: The unit can still move, I just need these damn buggers off me! *Ken objects quite vehemently as he tries to fling some off as well+
TormTerra (03:42:54): * "But...Somebody needs to go relieve Russel and Ken. Argos Flight, target the one attacking Russel. It should be distracted and you know these things better than me. Seta...I don't know what's up with you, but pull those things off Ken before they eat him and Leos...You can do that, right?" +
Aero (03:43:05): [Ken, Leos, Yuuya] Several shanks, some gore, and a lot of tossing later you're finally freed of the mass of tanks. The Genoace is in very rough shape though, like a plastic model that was found by 2 year old. There are a lot of large teeth marks throughout the machine.
Ishikar3 (03:43:20): Yuuya: Fine then but don't bite off more than you can chew.
Aero (03:43:21): [The three of you can also go]
VJockey (03:43:36): "I.. I got it..."
VJockey (03:43:41): "..K.. Ken's safe.."
VJockey (03:43:45): "S..Safe.."
TormTerra (03:43:58): Kei: "Ken fall back...You're in no position to fight anymore."
Aero (03:44:08): [Kei actions go go]
griefgathering (03:44:27): (er, Ken is free, so what should I do?)
Aero (03:44:44): [Take two actions then]
VJockey (03:44:48): *Leos is just going to go back to slaughtering the Tank Class hordes in an almost frantic manner.+
VJockey (03:44:58): "These things..."
VJockey (03:45:03): "These things!"
VJockey (03:45:16): [Aaaand hyperventilating.]
Ishikar3 (03:45:42): *Stella sets up with her full array of firearms and begins to rake over the BETA in melee with Russell with 36mm rounds. Yuuya turns back to the field and grabbing a nearby chunk of a fallen grappler class charges at the Laser class and begins to use the support arms to rake them with fire until he is close enough for melee.+
Meraxa (03:46:03): Ken: ...Just shut up. Just shut up! *That seems to be... in general, as Ken rather does NOT fall back, and instead gets gets right back to shooting... at the fort class he charges at+
griefgathering (03:46:28): *Well, Ken is safe, but Seta has no intention of letting anyone else get Tank'd, so she'll take Kei's advice and direct her attacks at the Tank-classes Leos is attacking.+
Aero (03:47:02): [Leos and Seta] Are you having fun yet? The crazed barrage combined with Seta's assault finally cleans up all of the Tanks on your front.
Ginkan SK (03:47:05): *Russel loses his knife and he's clearly in a bit of trouble here. He's going to try to diengage and get the hell out of close combat he's got the idea that was not the best idea but it may be a fatal mistake.+
Aero (03:48:34): [Yuuya] WELL THAT'S NEW, it's no surprise that you have no problems mopping up the rest of the Laser Class. They were busy shooting at the trying to approach aerial support. Between recharge time and not having any other weapons the Argos Flight manages to wipe out all of the laser class and free up Russell.
griefgathering (03:49:12): Seta: "...Is everyone else alright...?"
Aero (03:49:17): [Enemies: 18x Grappler Class, 74x Destroyer Class 9x Fort Class]
griefgathering (03:49:57): Yes, she knows Leos isn't...
Ishikar3 (03:50:11): Yuuya: Command this is Argos Lead, Laser class have been eliminated. I repeat we are clear of laser class at this time.
TormTerra (03:50:31): Kei: "Everyone's showing vitals, but Ken's unit is wrecked, the Gespenst is quite damaged as well...And there's Leos."
Aero (03:50:40): [Ken] The beam spray gun is not nearly as impressive against the fort class and that poor Genoace is knocked to the ground with a single lash of it's tail. The Genoace was nearly torn in half, it's lower body only hanging on by a thread. It swings the tail back again and this time plans on skewering the Genoace...venom dripping from the end of the stinger. [React]
Ishikar3 (03:50:59): #Ken
Ishikar3 (03:51:00): ?
tengusaur (03:51:00): Asagi: "Finally we can fly again? Good!"
Aero (03:51:12): [Everyone can go]
Aero (03:51:14): [APPROVED]
tengusaur (03:51:15): (I wrote an action, did you miss it?)
Aero (03:51:21): [YES I DID]
VJockey (03:52:30): *Leos is going to let out a scream as he drops his guns, draws his sword and just tears at the Fort Class trying to murder Ken with his Heat Sword.+
Meraxa (03:52:33): Ken: Come on! *Ken gives no damns, simply flipping the machine back over. And indeed, when that tail comes... Ken jumps up, to try and run along it as he charges, planning on shooting it as close to the 'face' as he can manage+
Aero (03:52:39): [Asagi] With most of the lasers wiped out you can finally take to the skies and not worry about retaliation. The beam rings into the Fort-Class but it remains standing and swings it's stinger at you. [React/Take your Action]
VJockey (03:52:47): [In essence his plan is essentially STABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTAB]
Ishikar3 (03:53:09): *Turning back to the battlefield Yuuya notices Ken's fallen unit. "You idiot, what were you thinking! Dropping his blade and shething the knife Yuuya goes full burn and dives between the tail and Ken trying to grab his unit and pull it clear of the kill zone.+
Aero (03:54:04): [Ken and Yuuya] You're trying but the Genoace can't keep up with this anymore when you try to jump the lower half of the Genoace falls off. Yuuya barely manages to secure the upper body of the machine as the tail stabs into the lower half...the acid melts through it in seconds.
tengusaur (03:54:15): * "Saw it coming!" The stinger is met by several slashes of Blue One's katana! Asagi uses the very sharp blade to sever the incoming digit... And then he raises the beam gun again and continues burning the giant target! +
TormTerra (03:54:51): * The lasers being gone meant she could take to the sky as well. She hadn't been targeted so far, but it was better not to have vulnerable mission control where it needed defense. Pushing herself up and away from the battlefield, Kei kept focusing on the monitors to try to figure out what to do. "Russel, take Leos and Ken and get out of their. They're a danger to themselves in their conditions. Argos Flight and Seta, cover the retreat and don't let the BETA get to them. Target any that appear determined to give pursuit." +
Meraxa (03:55:19): Ken: God dammit, out of the way! I'm taking that bastard down!
griefgathering (03:55:21): *Time for disembodied limbs with giant guns. The silver revolver from earlier is joined by another...a brass (or golden) one with three barrels, and both are aimed at one of the Fort Class. When they fire, the clusters target the Fort's head.+
Aero (03:56:05): [Asagi] Continuous fire on the other hand is having a much better effect. The Fort continues to struggle towards you, the stinger is cut apart and it only takes a few last steps before the beam finally goes right through it and it collapses.
griefgathering (03:56:07): *And then Seta's volley shifts to the pursuing BETA as per Kei's instructions.+
Ginkan SK (03:56:14): *Russel does attempt to disengage but he's also turning on his flight system now as he tries to disnage and shake the beta off his machine. He hopes he can get a bit help of the foe of all evil things from space, gravity.+
Ishikar3 (03:58:23): *Yuuya will pass off the upper portion of Kens cockpit to Russel and turns back, with a look at his propellant Yuuya realizes that he's going to have to limit it to emergency evasions if he's going to want to keep up with this. He readies an assault cannon and takes up postition by Stella to assist with covering the regroup/retreat.+
Aero (04:00:03): [Seta and Leos] Dozens of the Destroyers are destroyed now that they've made their initial charge. The Fort's head is blown wide open before it's torn into by a heat blade over and over and over and over and over. By the end of it the Jenice is just covered in heated blood.
VJockey (04:01:00): [Leos hasn't stopped stabbing at all.]
Aero (04:01:05): [Russel and Yuuya] Through a combination of high speed maneuvers you're able to get rid of the Grapplers hanging on and take Ken's cockpit from Yuuya. Nice flying kids.
Aero (04:01:24): [Enemies: 18x Grappler Class, 24x Destroyer Class 7x Fort Class]
Ginkan SK (04:01:26): (I got Ken now right?)
Aero (04:01:32): [Correct]
VJockey (04:01:37): "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Aero (04:01:49): Yuuko: "Heads up kids, you might want to back up real quickly."
Ishikar3 (04:02:10): Yuuya: "Asagi, pull Leos back, I can't get back in to him safely!"
Ishikar3 (04:02:36): Yuuya: "Me and Stella will help cover you."
Aero (04:02:37): Command Post (To Kei): "An airstrike is coming in now, tell your unit to back off from this area."
TormTerra (04:03:50): Kei: "Airstrike incoming. Back off...Asagi, do as Yuuya says."
griefgathering (04:04:31): Seta: "Roger...!"
griefgathering (04:04:46): Time to escape, for real.
tengusaur (04:05:14): Asagi: "Alright, Blue One pulling back. Finally a battle where we can do this!"
tengusaur (04:05:43): Asagi will grab Leos' machine and pull it to safety with him.
TormTerra (04:06:24): As she pulled back herself, Kei leaned back in her seat. Was this going to be the norm? Battles like this?
VJockey (04:07:29): [Leos doesn't even react to the grab - though he does lose the sword.]
Aero (04:07:48): Once the area is cleared the airstrike comes in, the remaining BETA are wiped off from the map. The explosions ring out for what seemed like forever before finally stopping.
tengusaur (04:08:11): Asagi: "Hey, Leos. Seta is alive! You can calm down!"
VJockey (04:08:28): [No reply.]
VJockey (04:08:35): [Leos just seems to have shut down.]
griefgathering (04:08:46): Seta: "That is my fault..."
tengusaur (04:08:49): Asagi: "...He needs help."
Aero (04:08:59): Command Post: "To all units...the Emergency Operation was a complete success. Our casualty rate was....1%"
Aero (04:09:13): The Operator is in complete disbelief.
Ishikar3 (04:09:22): Stella: "Congratulations everyone, you've made it through your 8 minutes. You're officially Eishi now."
Meraxa (04:09:43): Ken is just pounding his control in frustration. Another sortie when he's proved unable to step up. Eventually, he would stop, but only to clench and tighten his fist. Guess only a few days in, and he'd already be revising his training regimen.
Aero (04:09:50): Yuuko: "We sure were lucky, who knows what would have happened if our guests weren't here today."
VJockey (04:09:59): "..."
TormTerra (04:10:02): Kei: "He does...Why was he even out here?" Kei sounded rather flat and tired as she said that.
Aero (04:10:39): Leos that fucking smirk. You can feel that smirk.
tengusaur (04:10:57): Asagi shakes his head. "I don't even know anymore... 1% is very low casualty rate, isn't it. For a fight against BETA."
Ishikar3 (04:10:58): Yuuya: *takes a moment to slowly exhale before speaking* "I think I've found what I was missing. And thanks for covering for me at the end there Asagi."
griefgathering (04:11:00): Even Seta is in disbelief when it comes to this woman...
Aero (04:11:02): It'd look something like this.
Aero (04:11:03): http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=239485
VJockey (04:11:19): [Yes he does, though he can't muster the ability to react to it.]
griefgathering (04:12:24): Seta: "I also...owe all of you that explanation. Let us discuss it where it's safe..."
tengusaur (04:12:30): Asagi: "You said we'll act professionally in a fight, didn't you."
Aero (04:13:02): Somehow there's the feeling that you've been manipulated, however the operation was a complete success and almost everyone survived. The simple fact is that without your presence this attack would have had far more casualties. As such.
Ishikar3 (04:13:05): Yuuya: "Well maybe I didn't give you enough credit." *and maybe I didn't give Yui quite enough either*
Aero (04:13:07): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Aero (04:13:50): Battle Mastery: GET (Defeat Primo and Alex in one turn)
Ginkan SK (04:13:50): *Russel gets Ken and he' getting the helol out of here at this point he's falling back as the heavy fire comes in to wipe away the Beta. "Were these right out of the maw of hell... Ken you all right and ... hows Leos?"
