Aero (22:09:04): The MJP Group (and by extension the Unity Group) have been asked to "assist" with an Operation that involves attacking a Wulgaru Supply Fleet. Of course, by assist they meant do all of the work while a single ESUN Admiral by the name of Komine bosses you around and takes the credit. All of you are now on-board the MJP main ship called the Godinion which is now heading to intercept the Supply Fleet.
Aero (22:09:06): BUNNIES
Aero (22:09:27): You'll notice that your AHSMB units are looking a bit...bare. They also have advertisements plastered all over them.
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:40): Izuru: "Eeeeh?!"
tengusaur (22:09:43): Asagi: "...What."
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:45): "What happened to you, Red Five?"
Aero (22:09:57): Godinion: http://mjp-anime.jp/12mecha/images/mecha8a.png
tengusaur (22:10:02): Asagi: "We're supposed to attack the Wulgaru like this?"
tormterra (22:10:07): Kei: "...I really hate the PR division."
Meraxa (22:10:51): Ataru: This... I just...
Aero (22:10:55): ???: "It was Admiral Komine's idea."
Aero (22:11:10): Hey it's the Chief Mechanic for your AHSMBs.
VJockey (22:11:10): [SNEEZE.}
Aero (22:11:11): http://www.nautiljon.com/images/perso/00/56/saionji_reika_9465.jpg?0
VJockey (22:11:24): "Aaah! Its all over my helmet!"
Aero (22:11:48): Reika: "After your last success he wants to make a big impression by showing that we'll be able to defeat the Wulgaru forces with minimal effort..."
Aero (22:11:56): She sounds pretty annoyed at the situation as well.
VJockey (22:12:07): [Leos is now messing with said helmet.]
cubey@aol.pl (22:12:14): Izuru: "Will it really be alright... Red Five almost doesn't have weapons, the way it is now..."
tengusaur (22:12:22): Asagi: "The admiral *does* know we need weapons to fight, right...?"
tormterra (22:12:38): Kei: "That was minimal effort?" It certainly hadn't felt like it at the time
Meraxa (22:12:51): Ataru: Moreover, bit of a leap to assume we CAN do it with minimal effort...
Aero (22:12:54): Reika: "Your regular handheld weapons will be launched with you."
Aero (22:13:04): Reika: "He gave us that at least."
VJockey (22:13:34): "Don't worry guys! You're all great heroes!"
VJockey (22:13:40): "There's no way we can lose right?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:53): Izuru turns around.
tengusaur (22:13:54): Asagi: "And is it a good idea to bring..." He looks over his shoulder to make sure Leos is not paying attention before whispering. "This guy? I thought he was put off duty for a while for counseling..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:14:01): "Leos? What are you doing here?!" Le surprised face.
VJockey (22:14:05): "Eheh..."
VJockey (22:14:30): "Well this Admiral Person was looking around for people from the Unity Group to come along..."
tormterra (22:14:32): Kei: "Yes...The commander promised he would be." Kei looked rather angry at being reminded of the whole thing
VJockey (22:14:40): "I can't believe he asked for me by name!"
Ginkan SK (22:14:51): Russel: "So this is how things tend to go and why are there ads on them? Seriously this isn't Nascar...."
Meraxa (22:14:54): Ataru: Oh brother...
Aero (22:15:04): Reika: "This fight will be televised..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:08): Izuru: "It's not usually like this, mr Russel. Really..."
VJockey (22:15:14): "...."
VJockey (22:15:18): "EEEEEH!?"
tengusaur (22:15:22): Asagi just grabs his stomach and makes a pained face. The ulcer's acting up already.
VJockey (22:15:22): "Nobody told me that!"
VJockey (22:15:28): "oh nonono!"
Ginkan SK (22:15:45): Russel "...what in the name of God?!"
VJockey (22:15:59): "We don't have any progtech stuff to stick onto the mecha they gave me to use!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:12): Izuru: "Everyone will be watching..." He starts to shake. Not from fear though...
Meraxa (22:16:18): Ataru: ...I don't want to be on TV again.
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:23): Izuru: "Let's show how great a team we've become!" It's from excitement.
VJockey (22:16:40): "... Well its your fault for hitting me in the face."
tormterra (22:16:54): Kei: "And nobody thought that things could go wrong in front of everyone that way?" Really, where there no competent officers in the world?
VJockey (22:17:04): [Leos is childishly sticking his tongue out at you Ataru. Unfortunately you can't see it through his helmet.]
Aero (22:18:58): Reika: "Just do your best, if things get too rough we'll get your Jaegers out to at a moment's notice."
tengusaur (22:19:11): Asagi: "Please tell me this supply convoy doesn't expect our attack and has minimal escort..."
Aero (22:19:29): Reika: "That is the plan"
Ginkan SK (22:19:35): Russel "What kind of Public Relations stunt is this!"
Meraxa (22:19:47): Ataru: Never know though. We don't have the full details on their operational capacity after all.
tengusaur (22:20:13): Asagi: "Maybe it will work, then... And I didn't know we're in the Jaeger program."
cubey@aol.pl (22:20:25): Izuru: "We can do it if we work as a team of heroes. Right?" He looks around, searching for support. "Right?"
Aero (22:21:08): Reika: "We still have another hour or so before we make contact so just try to relax for now. Alright?"
tormterra (22:21:22): Kei: "We don't have a choice." She just wished people wouldn't be watching
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:29): Izuru: "Yes ma'am."
VJockey (22:21:33): "Right!"
Aero (22:21:41): With that said...
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:43): The only person here happy with the arrangements, apparently.
Aero (22:21:50): Suddenly the alarms ring out.
VJockey (22:21:50): [Well Izuru, at least you had one person backing you up.]
tengusaur (22:21:57): Asagi: "Look for your Jaeger partner in the meantime or something, Izuru."
tengusaur (22:22:03): Asagi: "Ehh?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:22:30): Izuru: "Let's Drift together, Asagi!"
tormterra (22:22:33): Kei immediately tensed up at the alarm. Looked like things wouldn't be that simple.
tengusaur (22:22:40): Asagi: "Hell no."
Aero (22:22:53): Commander Suzukaze: "All pilots prepare for combat....there's an advanced force approaching the Godinion."
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:14): Izuru: "Advance force? BUt I thought we're ambushing them! It's not very heroic, but..."
VJockey (22:23:20): "Okay!"
tormterra (22:23:22): She also looked very faintly disappointed at Izuru's proclamation, but it was quickly brushed aside by Suzukaze's orders. "Understood."
VJockey (22:23:23): "..."
VJockey (22:23:28): "Um..."
tengusaur (22:23:30): Asagi: "They found out..."
VJockey (22:23:41): "I've... never actually fought in space before"
VJockey (22:23:47): "That's not going to be a problem right?"
tengusaur (22:24:06): Asagi: "..."
tormterra (22:24:07): Kei: "Do you know how the thrusters work?"
VJockey (22:24:17): [And with that statement Leos preps his Huckebein.]
tengusaur (22:24:23): Asagi: "Why did you even come here!"
VJockey (22:24:35): "Yeah! I press a button and it pushes me forward with rockets right?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:24:47): Izuru: "Something like that..."
Ginkan SK (22:24:57): Russel "Wait you have no training for space combat?!"
Meraxa (22:24:59): Ataru: Looks like they saw us coming.
tormterra (22:25:41): And this would all be on tv for everyone to see
tengusaur (22:25:46): Asagi: "Commander, I request for Leos to stay behind. He'll get himself killed."
tormterra (22:26:09): Kei: "I support Asagi's request."
VJockey (22:26:49): [Leos wants to say something...]
VJockey (22:27:01): [But clearly if those two said it though......]
Aero (22:27:39): Commander Suzukaze: "If it were up to me I would keep him behind but the Admiral has insisted that EVERYONE here launches."
VJockey (22:28:20): "Well if he's an admiral that means he's good at his job right?"
VJockey (22:28:29): "So he has to know what he's doing!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:28:35): Izuru: "..." Sweatdrop.
VJockey (22:28:45): "I'll do my best not to drag you guys down! I promise!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:29:13): Izuru: "It will be alright if we stick together. I think."
tengusaur (22:29:18): Asagi: "Just... Just try not to die, okay?" This is just getting better and better. He's getting into the cockpit, because what else can he do? The enemies are incoming!
cubey@aol.pl (22:29:20): Okay, even he is starting to think this may not be the best idea.
Aero (22:30:07): Well too bad!
Aero (22:30:11): Everyone has to launch
cubey@aol.pl (22:30:21): Izuru: "Red... Five! Taking off!"
Meraxa (22:30:27): Ataru: Trust me, a lot of officers get by on theory. Gold Four, ready to go!
tengusaur (22:31:21): Asagi: "Blue One, launching."
tormterra (22:31:48): No, it probably didn't mean he was good at his job. Nothing so far had suggested anything of the sort. Regardless, Kei got into the cockpit and prepared to head off as well. "Purple-2, launching."
VJockey (22:32:06): "..."
VJockey (22:32:17): [Not wanting to feel left out...]
Ginkan SK (22:32:25): Russel does not like this at all but awayt he goes.
VJockey (22:32:32): "Grey Zero! Moving out!"
tengusaur (22:32:39): Asagi: "..."
Ginkan SK (22:32:45): Russel's Gespenst launches from the hanger. "Bagman Launching."
VJockey (22:32:45): "whaaat?"
VJockey (22:32:50): "you guys were doing it!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:33:00): Tamaki: "Eeeh? We have a new member?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:33:08): Rose-3 is there too, the fattest.
Meraxa (22:33:31): Ataru: Leos, thats not how Team Rabbits works!
tormterra (22:33:42): Kei: "No. He just made that name up."
VJockey (22:34:11): "But I didn't wanna feel left out..."
VJockey (22:34:16): [Sadfais]
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:23): Izuru: "The sixth new member should be silver, or black."
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:36): Izuru: "That's how it worked in... aah. The mission!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:44): He starts to pay attention to the incoming enemy force.
Aero (22:35:02): Once you all launch there are trails visible from pretty far away...but they're approaching very quickly.
Aero (22:35:03): Kei!
tengusaur (22:35:04): Asagi: "A black AHSMB? That just sounds weird."
Aero (22:35:20): Since your sensors/cameras are much better you can tell that there are only 4 units.
frifreeman (22:35:21): Kakizaki: "don't worry Leo, you could be vermillion four!"
Aero (22:35:29): [Enemies: White Wulgaru Machine (???), New Wulgaru Drones x3]
White Wulgaru Machine: http://mjp-anime.jp/12mecha/images/mecha12_2.jpg
New Drones: http://mjp-anime.jp/12mecha/images/mecha18_2.jpg
Meraxa (22:35:31): Ataru: I'm four!
VJockey (22:35:52): "...Wow... these guys look really evil!"
Aero (22:35:55): They're also about to fire at all of you.
VJockey (22:35:57): "No doubt about it!"
Meraxa (22:36:02): Ataru: Move!
cubey@aol.pl (22:36:06): Izuru: "I didn't see those before! Ah, watch out!"
tengusaur (22:36:07): Asagi: "New ones! Watch out!"
Aero (22:36:14): [React everyone...except the Bunnies.]
VJockey (22:36:24): "Awk!"
VJockey (22:36:44): *Leos hits the boosters.... and ends up going into a wild spin awaaaay. Wheeeee.+
tormterra (22:37:01): Kei: "No more are showing up, it might be a scouting unit. But then they would retreat, rather than attack. Be careful, we don't know their capabilities or goals."
Aero (22:37:03): The reason for that is because well...remember when your machines almost ran away from that giant Wulgaru force? Well these machines have pretty much paralyzed your AHSMBs.
tengusaur (22:37:05): Asagi: "There he goes..."
Aero (22:37:17): They are terrified.
frifreeman (22:37:22): Kakizaki: "I'm number three too! I'm vermillion three!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:37:36): Izuru: "Ghh... can't move! Red Five, why?"
Meraxa (22:37:56): Ataru: I-Is it fear...?!
tengusaur (22:37:59): Asagi: "Ack... My AHSMB is stuck in defensive mode!"
tengusaur (22:38:05): Asagi: "Come on, fight!"
VJockey (22:38:36): "GAAAAH"
tormterra (22:38:36): Kei: "Isn't it supposed to respond to your emotions?" She certainly did feel fear creeping in. Even if she wasn't sure why
cubey@aol.pl (22:38:43): Izuru: "These guys must be really strong..." Hesitation starts to sneak into his voice.
Aero (22:38:47): Komine: "What are you doing? Fight fight!"
Aero (22:39:04): Komine: "What did we create you for if you can't even fight against four enemies!?"
tengusaur (22:39:23): Asagi: "I'm trying my best! ...Sir!" Yeah, the admiral's yelling is not helping him feel less stressed at all.
Meraxa (22:39:47): Ataru: You're not helping!
Aero (22:39:55): [Leos] Well actually, it doesn't seem like any of the shots are directed at you. They're firing at the MJPs!
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:23): Izuru: "Move.... if you don't move, then we're good as dead!"
Ginkan SK (22:41:02): Russel's now in space for a moment "Don't look at me I'm in a Gespenst."
tormterra (22:41:03): Kei: "The AHSMBs aren't responding, sir."
Aero (22:41:42): And...all of those shots fly right past the AHSMBs.
cubey@aol.pl (22:42:01): Izuru: "What aws that?!"
Meraxa (22:42:33): Ataru: Did they miss...?
tormterra (22:42:52): Kei: "Or were they trying to send a message?"
tengusaur (22:42:56): Asagi: "Is their aim that bad? Or..."
Aero (22:43:17): You are answered by more shots that only narrowly miss the lot of you.
tengusaur (22:43:27): Asagi: "Ghh... Don't toy with me...!" Easy to say that, though. He still can't move yet.
Aero (22:43:35): Staying still was probably the only thing keeping you alive right now.
Meraxa (22:43:51): Ataru: ...They're showing off.
Meraxa (22:44:05): Ataru: Because if we shift from our current positions...
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:15): Tamaki: "Oooh! This makes me so angry!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:20): Still, she's as helpless as the rest.
Aero (22:45:07): The fact that this is all being televised probably isn't helping.
tormterra (22:46:18): Kei was just hanging silently. It really said something about the war that the Wulgaru felt comfortable toying with them. And the admiral had just shouted out their background too
Aero (22:46:56): Commander Suzukaze: "Enough is enough, we're not continuing with this ridiculousness. Leos, Russel the two of you need to get their attention away from Team Rabbits."
VJockey (22:47:21): "o--okay!... Just... almost got... control..."
Aero (22:47:34): Commander: "We're launching your Assault Jaegers. Get ready for link up once space is created for you. We need to get this right or else we're not recovering from this."
Aero (22:47:43): [Initiative: Leos, Russel]
Aero (22:47:48): [Leos and Russel can go!]
frifreeman (22:47:54): Kakizaki: "And I'll shoot them all down, gotcha!"
Aero (22:48:07): [And Kakizaki]
Aero (22:48:18): [Just assume she included him with that statement also]
Ginkan SK (22:48:26): *Russel meanwhile moves to engage the new looking grunts. He'll leave the strange new semmingly command unit to the others. His plan is to keep the other ones off his comrades's backs. A missile pod detatched and the split missiles are flying for the new unknown enemy grunts.+
tengusaur (22:48:37): Asagi: "We're supposed to dock in the middle of a fight...?"
VJockey (22:48:51): "Alright!"
Aero (22:48:52): Commander Suzukaze nods.
tengusaur (22:49:09): That sounds difficult. It's nothing Asagi did before, outside of training at least. But...
tengusaur (22:49:19): Asagi: "...I'll try my best..."
Meraxa (22:49:25): Ataru: Make sure not to miss!
VJockey (22:49:27): "Lets go! BOX BAZOOKA!" -Rectangular Launcher- "....My name's way better."
cubey@aol.pl (22:49:51): Izuru: "Everyone is risking their lifes to help! We need to dock quickly, please hurry!"
tengusaur (22:49:53): Asagi: "I'm not gonna miss...!"
VJockey (22:50:21): *Without further ado, Leos hauls the launcher up and takes aim at the White Wulgaru, closing one eye with his face set into a comical look of concentration... yet...
VJockey (22:50:28): "I won't miss...."
VJockey (22:50:34): "I won't..."
VJockey (22:50:53): He murmurs to himself surprisingly seriously as he takes the shot.+
Aero (22:51:14): [Russel] The Drones clap their hands together and build up a huge sphere of energy which is tossed at those missiles, devouring all of them. Once the smoke from the explosion clears the drone rushes at the Gespenst unleashing a barrage of blue lasers at you. [React]
Aero (22:53:00): [Leos] You didn't miss! Instead you hit...the sword of the machine...by that I mean he cut those gigantic powerful rounds right in half casually. One of the drones then breaks off from the firing formation to charge at you. [React]
Aero (22:53:08): [MJPs are now freeeed]
VJockey (22:53:13): "!!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:15): #Leos
Aero (22:53:15): [Initiative: Kei, Izuru, Asagi, Ataru, Russel, Kakizaki, Leos]
Ginkan SK (22:53:23): *Russel moves to react anbd he stares for a moment okay that didn't work at all he's shifting to get his m90 but he goes on the evasive now.+
Aero (22:53:24): [Kei, Izuru go]
Aero (22:53:26): [Approved]
VJockey (22:53:45): *Leos is going to draw his Beam Sword and counter charge!+
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:58): Tamaki: "Gyoooo!" *Suddenly, Rose Three can move! The huge AHSMB slams at the charging drone with its mass and shields.+
cubey@aol.pl (22:54:05): Tamaki: "Leave Grey Zero alone you jerk!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:54:45): Izuru: "Captain, when will the Jaegers launch?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:55:34): *Red Five draws its beam handguns. It starts to circle around the sword wielding Wulgaru while shooting a wild barrage, trying to overwhelm it and push to defense!+
Aero (22:55:52): [Leos and Tamaki] Well...you're both approaching charging at the same area here and Tamaki is kind of clumsy...and Leos is new to fighting to space. The drone suddenly ascends up and...well Leos. There's a very fat AHSMB on a collision course with you right now. [React Both]
cubey@aol.pl (22:56:27): Tamaki: "Nooo I'm sooooorry!" *She tries to ascend away from Leos' Huckie, as well.+
tormterra (22:56:31): * "We can't afford to get too close to the enemies. Stay on the defensive for now, try to fire at them to get them pinned down so they can't aim properly. Russel, Kakizaki, we're going to have to rely on you. Use large area attacks to try to confine their moements."
Aero (22:56:32): Commander Suzukaze: "Your Jaeger is still warming up Red Five. Gold Four and Blue One we're sending yours out now."
VJockey (22:56:39): "AAAGGAHGRAJHSAKGJHKKGADSGD"
VJockey (22:56:56): *Leos shuts power off from the sword and tries to manuever away-!+
Aero (22:57:33): [Russel] The Gespenst actually has problems keeping up with this drone. The beams tear into the Gespenst's armor while you only inflict minimal damage to it.
Aero (22:58:29): [Leos and Tamaki] The two of you only BARELY avoid each other. One of the Huckebein's horns is knocked off though.
Aero (22:58:36): [Ataru and Asagi can go go go]
Aero (22:58:41): [Take your Kei actions also]
Aero (22:59:17): [Izuru] Surprise! It can also deflect beams with that sword. Where it's deflecting to? Back at you of course Izuru. [React]
tengusaur (22:59:25): * Asagi takes deep breaths, trying to calm himself down as he sees his Assault Jaeger approach quickly! He tries to match his speed with the combat frame, move in, and dock with it! &
VJockey (22:59:30): "Um... the horns aren't important right?"
tengusaur (22:59:41): Asagi: "Steady... Steady... Steady..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:59:58): Izuru: "Ahh! Asagi, he stole your trick!"
Meraxa (23:00:03): Ataru: Nnnngh, come on! *Fortunately for Ataru at least, his primary weapon os built in, so all he's gotta do is connect one arm to another, and...* Fire! *He's gonna give the enemy mooks a taste of their own medicine, except he won't miss! ...hopefully+
tengusaur (23:00:24): Asagi: "Huh?" There goes his focus!
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:27): *Red Five is severely lacking in the... everything department at the moment. It kicks itself up, to perform a roll that will hopefully get it out of harm's way.+
Aero (23:00:42): [Ataru] Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss. Now comes the return fire. [React]
Aero (23:01:02): [Asagi] AND YOU JUMP OUT OF THE WAY OF YOUR JAEGER AT THE LAST MOMENT. Nice Job Asagi.
Meraxa (23:01:30): Ataru: Their speed...! *Ataru's in awe, forced to try and move away, trying to find cover somewhere...! But this is deep space!+
Aero (23:01:45): [Russel, Kakizaki, and Leos can all go.]
tengusaur (23:01:56): Asagi: "Aaargh~! Damnit!" He lost focus and panicked! Right on camera! Excellent.
Aero (23:02:10): WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
frifreeman (23:02:40): Kakizaki: "okay team rabbit, don't panic. Watch your senior got in action!"
Meraxa (23:03:29): Ataru: Watch it, they're too fast!
tengusaur (23:04:03): Asagi: "No! Shit! Come back!" He tries to catch up to his fleeing Assault Jaeger, without much success.
Aero (23:04:08): [Ataru] Thankfully without all those extra weapons the naked AHSMB is pretty fast so you avoid any lethal shots.
VJockey (23:04:17): "Gaaaah! Too fast! Too fast!"
VJockey (23:04:24): "Slow down so I can hit you!"
frifreeman (23:04:25): flies into the camera's view, turn into battroid mode and waves toward the camera, before strafing with his gun toward one of the wulgaru+
VJockey (23:04:28): "Please?"
Aero (23:04:30): Commander Suzukaze: "We're bringing it around again Blue One."
Aero (23:04:33): She seems annoyed
Aero (23:05:14): [Izuru] The shots fly in a perfect circle around you. He's still showing off.
Ginkan SK (23:05:14): Russel's machine takes some nasty damage there and he's now wondering how are they going to wonder about this? It seems the enemy has adapted to some of the humans tactics.
VJockey (23:05:39): *Leos brings out the Photon Rifle - which is admittedly more to his speed and takes a few carefully aimed shots at the Wulgaru leader! Because seriously you ALWAYS should go for the leader!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:59): Izuru: "Ah! Was that on purpose? These guys are something else!" He starts to sweat.
tengusaur (23:06:15): Asagi: "Urk..." His stomach hurts too much to even try to mutter an apology right now.
Aero (23:06:49): [Kakizaki] Battroid mode ain't fast enough to keep up with these drones. The shots end up short and again the simply return fire. [React]
tormterra (23:07:35): For her part, Kei was just desperately looking over all the information she had to see if she could find some kind of solution to the situation, if only to try to reassure herself and distract from how bad the situation had gotten.
Aero (23:08:02): [Leos] The leader pulls out yet another sword and sends it spinning forwards. The shots are all deflected away AND there's a spinning blade coming at you Leos. [React]
Aero (23:08:07): [Kei and Izuru can go]
cubey@aol.pl (23:08:26): Izuru: "Now!"
Aero (23:08:34): Commander Suzukaze: "Red Five we're sending out your HF Launcher now!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:08:37): # For Leos (will incorporate into my action if possible)
VJockey (23:08:37): "... WHERE DID HE EVEN GET THAT ONE?!"
Aero (23:08:47): [Approved]
VJockey (23:09:15): *Leos sends his Huckebein in another poorly aimed dodge, once more going into the verge of losing control of it!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:09:29): Izuru: "Leos, watch out!" *Red Five fires a double-handed barrage before throwing its pistols awy. The shots... are aimed at the blade - to throw it off-course!
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:23): *At the same time, the AHSMB main body stands still and lets the Jaeger armor surround it. Izuru wastes no time - Red Five's eyes shine and it creates a hail of physical gunfire, aimed at the white foe.+
tormterra (23:10:54): * "Ataru, you're armed now...Do you have missiles? We need to get them distracted for a bit, so we can regroup and attacking a wider area will help. If the attack is too big, they can't dodge. Focus on the one attacking Russel." +
frifreeman (23:12:20): Urk. Kakizaki knows that Fighter mode would be better to deal with these guys, but he won't be able to wave at the camera with fighter mode! Still, he switcvhes into fighter mode, and barrel roll away from the enemy shots.+
Aero (23:12:48): [Leos and Izuru] The sword...veers off course at the very last moment. Somehow it spins back around towards the white machine, which grabs the weapon and puts it away neatly somewhere.
Aero (23:13:12): [Edit] BY THAT I MEAN HE DUAL WIELDS THEM TO BLOCK ALL OF THOSE BULLETS.
Meraxa (23:13:22): Ataru: I'm only armed because you can't really take the particle gun out. So no missiles, but I still might be able to lay down some suppressive fire.
cubey@aol.pl (23:13:29): Izuru: "That's ridiculous!"
VJockey (23:13:30): "... Now he's just showing off!"
Aero (23:13:51): [Asagi and Ataru can go]
Aero (23:14:27): [Kakizaki] Much better, now you're just as fast as the drones so those beams all miss the fighter.
tengusaur (23:15:16): * Asagi waits for his assault frame to turn around and then tries to dock with it again, while trying to control his ailing stomach at the same time and not thinking about how he's being filmed. &
Aero (23:16:08): [Asagi] THERE YOU GO, the Assault Jaeger surrounds Blue One and finally docks correctly. [Continue]
Aero (23:16:14): [Ataru is fully equipped now also]
Meraxa (23:16:43): Ataru: Wait... Aha! Kei, I've got missiles!
Aero (23:16:45): Kei
Aero (23:16:48): More bad news...
Aero (23:16:54): Remember that supply fleet?
Aero (23:17:03): Well...it's within detectable range now.
Aero (23:17:13): and...that definitely does not look like a supply fleet
tengusaur (23:17:36): Asagi: "Yes...!" It worked this time! He draws the heavy machinegun with a single over-the-shoulder gesture and sends a long burst of focused fire at the escort drones! +
tormterra (23:19:14): Kei: "Look out. The 'supply fleet'is preparing to attack. It's not a supply fleet either, it's a full combat fleet."
Aero (23:19:18): [Enemies: New Red Wulgaru Drones x10, Wulgaru Drone x100]
VJockey (23:19:36): "Oh no..."
VJockey (23:19:42): "Its the supply fleet!"
tengusaur (23:19:45): Asagi: "It was a trap...!"
VJockey (23:19:47): "And their supplies are death!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:56): Izuru: "It wasn't supposed to go like this!"
Aero (23:20:09): ???: [Prince Jiart...the servants of the Spirit Emperor have arrived. Your hunt here will have wait for another time]
Meraxa (23:20:18): Ataru: Eat it! *Ataru unleashes his missile payload, to at least put up a wall of explosives to let them back up and restrategise.+
VJockey (23:20:26): ( http://www.dreamwidth.org/userpic/7479044/2145966 )
Aero (23:20:35): Jiart: [Already...]
Aero (23:21:10): [Asagi and Ataru] Well you don't have to worry about that because that white machine along with it's escorts are leaving. You've barely left a scratch on them. Good Job everyone!
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:23): Izuru: "Ah! Where do you think you're going?"
Aero (23:21:47): [Since this should be a new round everyone can go.]
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:49): Red Five freezes in space, and looks ready to leap (figuratively) in pursuit!
Aero (23:21:56): [Kei you're still horribly underequipped.]
Meraxa (23:22:07): Ataru: Izuru, focus on the fleet!
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:13): Izuru: "R... right!"
VJockey (23:22:14): "What the- GET BACK HERE!"
Aero (23:22:16): Commander Suzukaze: "Red Five don't pursue him."
Ginkan SK (23:22:17): Russel "thanks for teh assist!" Sometimes it's someone else has Russel's back.
tengusaur (23:22:37): Asagi: "They're leaving. Are they bored with us?" He sounds frustrated.
VJockey (23:22:41): *Leos fires several shots at the Wulgaru as it leaves!+
Aero (23:23:06): [With which weapon?]
VJockey (23:23:06): "GET BACK HERE AND FLY INTO MY LASERS YOU DAMN SPACE CHICKEN!+
Aero (23:23:12): [Alright then]
VJockey (23:23:13): (Photon Rifle)
Meraxa (23:23:29): Ataru: Alright, readjusting for new targets... *Ataru shifts around, turning towards the oncoming drones... And fires repeatedly! Those red ones look particularly nice targets!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:24:11): *Red Five circles around the first lines of the fleet's defenses, a tripple-barreled machinegun in one hand, the chain blade in the other, both weapons firing before Izuru lunges forward and slices downwards at the closest foe.=
cubey@aol.pl (23:24:12): +
tengusaur (23:24:27): Asagi: "Damn... I'll clear the way for you, guys!" Time to take out his frustration on these new targets! He rushes towards the incoming horde of Wulgaru, slashing through whatever drones are nearby with wide swings of Blue One's katana! +
tormterra (23:25:27): * "We need to keep them from advancing. There will probably be more and we're hardly prepared for battle, try not to move too aggressively so you'll get cut off. Ataru, Kakizaki try to fire into their formation to slow down their advance." +
Aero (23:25:30): [Leos] The machine turns around one last time. It's movements are clearly different now. It slowly deflects each shot and this time all of them are headed straight at the Huckebein. One hits the left leg, another on the other leg, another on the left arm and the final one takes off the head of the Huckebein. Somehow, one shot manages to slam into the chest of the Wulgaru boss but it does not seem like it did any damage.
Ginkan SK (23:25:48): Russel "If they are leaving they might be clearing a firing lane for a support vessel to fire...."
cubey@aol.pl (23:25:54): Izuru: "Ah, Leos!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:26:02): Izuru: "You bastard, what did you do to him!"
Aero (23:26:03): [The Huckebein can still fight but it's only a torso and a right arm now.]
VJockey (23:26:25): [Leos yelps as several screens go red and things just spark wildly.]
VJockey (23:26:29): "That's not good!"
tengusaur (23:26:32): Asagi: "Get out of there!"
Aero (23:28:30): [Izuru and Asagi] The two of you tear into the swarm, drone after drone falling from attack after attack. Of course, the only survivors are those damned new drones which are still just as annoying. They return fire, only with RED BEAMS this time. [React]
Aero (23:29:16): [Ataru] Same as before, those red ones casually get out of the way as your shots destroy the smaller drones flanking it. More red beams [React!]
tengusaur (23:29:38): # Ataru if possible?
VJockey (23:29:47): #Izuru & Asagi as insane as it is?
Aero (23:30:03): [Leos approved, Asagi you're being overwhelmed as it is so no]
Aero (23:30:12): [Well actually wait for Leos first then maybe]
Aero (23:30:23): [Do your react first]
frifreeman (23:31:01): Kakizaki: "Roger! Let's call this the number three combination!" Kakizaki fires a swarm of missiles toward their formation as Kei ordered.
tengusaur (23:31:53): * Asagi zooms around the enemy group, trying to escape as many of the beams as he can, and either intercept the rest with his force field or reflect them back with his katana! The end of his maneuver is to position himself between the attackers and Gold Four, to take at least some heat off Ataru. +
Meraxa (23:32:27): Ataru: Tch *Ataru's forced to go on the defensive yet again, trying to get off a couple of potshots before flying about+
VJockey (23:32:40): *Well this was going to be very difficult... so he was going to do something very stupid... put his heavily damaged Hucky on a blind charge as he fired rapidly at the new drones attacking Asagi and Izuru!+
tengusaur (23:33:12): Asagi: "What are you doing? Move back!!"
Aero (23:33:30): To make a bad situation worse...
VJockey (23:33:31): "I'm not leaving you guys behind!"
tormterra (23:33:31): Kei: "Fall back, Leos. Your unit is damaged, you're only going to endanger yourself."
cubey@aol.pl (23:34:05): Izuru: "Leos? Wait, you were not supposed to act recklessly like that!" *Red Five quickly drops its left hand's gun (leaving it floating in space) and shoots out a rocket punch - but the hand emits a force field, interposing in front of the lasers meant for Red Five, and also whatever goes in Leos' direction!+
Aero (23:34:26): Komine: "Rose Three, stop staying still and get out there to do your job!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:09): Tamaki: "Eeeh? R... roger that!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:50): *Rose Three hesitates a bit after the recent maneuver ended in a colossal failure, but Tamaki overcomes her AHSMB's survival instinct... and charges recklessly right into the middle of the enemy fleet!+
Meraxa (23:37:06): Ataru: Wha-?!
Aero (23:38:09): [Leos, Ataru, Asagi, Izuru mess] Rocket Force Field Punches stop those lasers but this barrage is overwhelming. Despite all of your defensive measures your machines are pelted and Leos well...his last thruster is shot off from all of that. Damage is gathering on all of your units and Leos is now a sitting duck in the middle of a massive enemy swarm.
Aero (23:38:23): AND the new drones STILL aren't touched.
VJockey (23:38:28): ".........."
VJockey (23:38:44): [Leos is going to mess with his controls... nope. No movement.}
VJockey (23:38:50): "Uh oh..."
Aero (23:39:01): [Tamaki] That...does not help either. The beams are actually powerful enough to tear through Rose-3's barrier with ease and...well with a target that big.
VJockey (23:39:12): [The tone he yelped the words out in would almost be hilarious...]
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:14): Tamaki: "Aaaah!"
VJockey (23:39:21): [If he wasn't in such a bad situation.]
Aero (23:39:26): AND
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:30): A panicked shriek coming from the pilot, even louder than usual.
VJockey (23:39:37): "Rose Three?!"
Aero (23:39:39): To top off this gigantic mess
tengusaur (23:39:42): Asagi: "It's getting bad... Tamaki!"
Aero (23:39:44): KEI!
Meraxa (23:39:57): Ataru: This... this power...
Aero (23:40:17): 4 of the new drones have found you and...well those beams are heading right for your defenseless AHSMB.
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:56): #!
Aero (23:41:06): [For Leos, Tamaki, or Kei]
Aero (23:41:11): [YOU CAN ONLY SAVE ONE]
griefgathering (23:41:43): er #Leos
cubey@aol.pl (23:41:45): Kei it is then.
Aero (23:41:54): [Approved and Approved!]]
Aero (23:41:57): [RIP Tamaki]
Meraxa (23:42:08): ...#Tamaki?
Aero (23:42:17): [You're too far way...sorry...]
tormterra (23:42:31): * Seeing the drones coming for her, Kei looked over her controls desperately trying to find the correct direction to retreat in, pulling back to try to get some distance before they fired, only to find herself caught in the crossfire and even a desperate dash upwards would be unlikely to save her. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:37): "Waaaait!" *Red Five leaps in front of Purple Two, arms stretched.+
Aero (23:43:31): [Kakizaki] This is the first time the Wulgaru have been to Itano's Circus. The missiles light up space, but again only the weaker older drones are caught.
griefgathering (23:43:42): *Cue beams, lots and lots of golden beams appearing from wormholes around the Huckebein's location, aimed to repel, if not destroy the surrounding enemies outright!+
Aero (23:45:15): [Izuru and Kei] Moments before the beams wreck Purple-Two Red Five appears from out of nowhere and tanks all those those hits...every single one and...well. The machine isn't responding anymore.
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:26): Izuru: "Aah!"
VJockey (23:45:46): "Aaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:48): That was a bad idea, all lights in the cockpit are red now, warning flashes shining against Izuru's helmet.
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:54): Izuru: "A... are you okay, Kei?!"
Aero (23:46:09): [Mysterious Enemy of all Greenrivers] The beams destroy all of the enemies attacking the Huckebein. BUT WHERE DID THEY COME FROM???
Aero (23:46:35): As for Tamaki...more new allies!
tormterra (23:46:39): Kei: "Izuru! Respond!" And something shocking happens, Kei actually cries out for real, desperation marking her tone. "Are you alright? Did they hit anything important?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:08): Izuru: "Don't worry, I'm still fine somehow. My body... moved on its own."
Aero (23:47:27): Conviniently the enemies going after Tamaki are all shot down by powerful beams coming from 3 machines.
Aero (23:47:29): http://mjp-anime.jp/12mecha/images/mecha6_2.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:46): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW-iVc3XauA
tengusaur (23:47:56): Asagi: "Allied reinforcements!"
Aero (23:47:57): They're also the first ones that ACTUALLY SHOT DOWN ONE OF THE NEW DRONES.
tormterra (23:48:03): Kei: "How bad is the damage? Can you move?" Yeah, donøt expect much mission control from here just yet
tengusaur (23:48:04): Asagi: "Wait... Aren't those...?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:48:34): Izuru: "Not really, let's see now..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:22): Izuru tries to turn off non-essential systems. Worst case scenario, he'll go back to purging the armor - again!
Aero (23:49:52): Funny thing Izuru...even your emergency escape systems are all broken.
VJockey (23:50:03): "... Um... I don't know how to say this..."
Aero (23:50:03): It's also getting very steamy.
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:26): Izuru: "Ahh, it's getting really hot in here." He tries to sound like it's no big deal. He's not really successful.
VJockey (23:50:45): "But I think my everything is broken..."
Aero (23:51:10): Commander Simon: "Team Doberman will retrieve Red 5 and Professor Shirakawa will cover the rest of you. We need to withdraw from this area. "
tormterra (23:51:11): Kei: "Everyone keep the Wulgaru off Izuru...Tamaki, grab on to him and retreat." Kei was trying to get back into controlled mission control mode. Operative phrase being "trying"
griefgathering (23:51:18): Chika: (to Leos) "Keep calm, kid!"
Meraxa (23:51:48): Ataru: Dammit...! This was supposed to be our second victory!
Aero (23:51:52): Thankfully someone with a sane mind has taken over commander for this Operation.
griefgathering (23:51:56): Chika: "It's a shame we just missed that silver-white unit earlier though..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:51:59): Tamaki: "Okay, Kei! I'm right there!"
VJockey (23:52:20): "O.. okay!"
tengusaur (23:52:21): Asagi: "I can do that. Let's get you out of here safely!"
VJockey (23:52:39): [Is Leos answering Chika or Kei? Or both?]
tengusaur (23:52:41): Asagi: "Thanks for your support, Dobermans and professor. And the bird."
VJockey (23:53:05): [Either way he tries to have his Huckebein take a shot to cover Izuru...]
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:11): Izuru: "Please hurry Tamaki..."
Aero (23:53:14): Commander Suzukaze: "There's another massive Wulgaru fleet gathering, if they meet up it'll only be trouble for us. We have to retreat. Better we lose our pride than our lives."
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:20): He can't even wipe the sweat off his brow. Helmet gets in the way.
Aero (23:53:21): [Leos] The Right Arm falls off.
VJockey (23:53:27): ^that
VJockey (23:53:43): "....."
VJockey (23:54:07): [Leos is just going to curl up in his pilot seat right now with a very frightened look.]
Ginkan SK (23:54:51): Russel is pulling the folding two way canon off the back of his machine at this poiint having put the m90 rifle away. His comrades need help and he's going to need to bring tthe most firepower he can right now against them. It's pretty serious now as Leo's arm fell off, the raven is going to pieces right before his eyes.
tormterra (23:55:20): Kei: "Understood, commander." Her voice was a bit flat...At least Izuru was still alive and they had a chance to pull out of this disaster
Aero (23:55:36): [Everyone is free to go except Izuru and Leos]
Aero (23:55:40): [They're dead]
tengusaur (23:55:47): (don't say dead!)
VJockey (23:55:53): (DEAD)
Ginkan SK (23:56:14): (You are dead, dead!)
Aero (23:56:47): [Enemies: New Red Wulgaru Drones x7, Wulgaru Drone x51]
tengusaur (23:57:36): * Asagi starts to back away, covering his retreat by firing long machinegun bursts at any Wulgaru units who make the mistake of getting close. He's closing in towards Leos, to grab his machine with a free hand.+
cubey@aol.pl (23:57:53): Tamaki: "Make waaaay!" *Purple Rose retreats like a force of nature, surrounded by a swarm of missiles, lasers shining through space like a rave party. As it passes by Red Five and Purple Two, it releases the cable which attaches itself to Izuru's broken AHSMB.+
tengusaur (23:58:22): Asagi: "I'll make sure you won't die here!"
Ginkan SK (23:59:34): *Russel is waisting no time at this point as he brings up the canon, it folds out and he taakles im for the swam of standard drones coming for them. He fires a blast from the canon raking it over the ranks of the enemy trying to thin out the ones he knows how to take it, if only so they have less things after them+
14 June 2014
VJockey (00:00:05): [Leos only yelps in surprise as he's dragged back by Asagi.]
Aero (00:00:30): [Leos] That loosens one of the overhead monitors, which falls down right on top of your head.
Aero (00:00:49): Thankfully it wasn't that high up!
Aero (00:01:32): [Russel and Asagi and Tamaki] The chasing drones are destroyed and you guys FINALLY manage to destroy one of the new Wulgaru drones.
VJockey (00:01:54): [Cue flailing.]
griefgathering (00:02:04): *Shu is looking mighty serious here as well; "Well then, let us not waste more time." The Granzon projects a line of wormholes in the direction of the enemies with a wave of its hand, and its six chest pieces open up. "Distorium Break!" Once he's made sure that no allies are in the line of fire, a single beam shoots out from the Granzon's chest - amplified repeatedly by those wormholes, and turning into a gigantic space-time distorting wave directed at the largest group of enemies!+
tormterra (00:03:13): * "Ataru, pick off ones that dodged before they can recover." +
Aero (00:04:42): [Shu] With their jobs taken care of for them the Dobermans join in with the Distorium Break by firing their own beams into the wormholes. The gigantic amplified huge beam makes short work of the remaining enemies save for 3 last New Drones....who promptly try to get the hell out of this battle.
Aero (00:04:45): [Ataru?]
tengusaur (00:05:14): Asagi: "They're good..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:05:40): Izuru: "Amazing..." He stares in shock and surprise.
VJockey (00:06:55): "What? What happened?!"
Aero (00:07:05): [Silence]
Aero (00:07:19): The comm system of the Huckebein breaks down at that exact moment.
VJockey (00:07:22): [Leos would be amazed too... but he had no working monitors left to see things from and-]
VJockey (00:07:26): "............"
Aero (00:07:30): Enjoy the silence the darkness Leos.
VJockey (00:07:30): ;-;
tengusaur (00:07:59): Asagi: "You'll hear about it later. For now be happy you're alive, Leos."
tengusaur (00:08:05): Not that he can hear him.
Ginkan SK (00:08:20): *Russel and the otehrs get lucky they cleared out the wost of the fodder, and now they got some breathing space, he's now going to turn his attention to his downed allies.
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:29): Izuru: "They wiped out almost all the Wulgaru very quickly!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:36): Izuru: "Our friends are something else."
griefgathering (00:09:19): Chika: "Hey, hey, this is still a retreat for a reason! Keep moving!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:37): Izuru: "Y... yes!" Said while being incapable of movement.
tormterra (00:10:25): Kei: "Yeah..." She just sounded tired. She'd been certain that she'd die out there and then that Izuru would
frifreeman (00:12:31): Kakizaki:"Yeah, they're pretty cool."
VJockey (00:12:39): [Well on the plus side, nothing else in the cockpit was going to break.]
Aero (00:14:41): And Ataru manages to shoot down one of the last drones. However, the final two do manage to retreat as well.
Aero (00:16:09): Somehow, despite how horribly this Operation started off you technically achieved the goal of the mission. On the other hand any shred of dignity you all had left is pretty much gone.
cubey@aol.pl (00:16:23): Izuru: "Oh yeah..."
Aero (00:16:24): MISSION FAILED?/COMPLETED?/ACCOMPLISHED?
cubey@aol.pl (00:16:30): Izuru: "This was all being recorded, right?"
tengusaur (00:16:31): At least now everyone else knows how it feels to be a Rabbit!
tengusaur (00:16:51): Asagi: "..."
tengusaur (00:16:54): Asagi: "...Yes."
Aero (00:17:06): Commander Suzukaze: "...It was being broadcasted live."
Ginkan SK (00:17:07): Russel "... God when Katina hears about this..."
Meraxa (00:17:13): Ataru: The forums are gonna explode...
tengusaur (00:17:24): Asagi: "Is it over? I think I'll just go and die now..."
Ginkan SK (00:17:32): Russel "Forums? Wait you guys are publicly known?"
frifreeman (00:17:35): Kakizaki: "Man, and when I thought I got a chance to be on tv..."
tormterra (00:17:36): Kei: "Who even thought that was a good idea?"
Aero (00:17:53): Admiral Komine!....who has disappeared into his room.
VJockey (00:18:29): [...!]
VJockey (00:18:42): [Leos has a horrifying revalation.]
VJockey (00:18:53): [Nobody was gonna hear it but...]
VJockey (00:19:03): "Lana is gonna murder me..."
VJockey (00:19:05): QAQ
