(8:55:59 PM):     VOLYA!
(8:56:35 PM):     A short while ago, you decided to play good samaritan to a kid at a hospital who was suffering from a very serious disease.
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:02 PM):     One who had poor prospects for living and having a good quality of life without a transfusion from someone who'd previously beat said disease.  Fortunately, you had so huzzah!
(8:57:32 PM):     Bad news: you're currently face-to-face with the kid's mother.  Sarah Daniels.  The Maverick Firestorm.  One of the scary people from the Knights of the Guiding Hand who tried to kill you.

VJockey 8:58 pm

tengusaur 9:02 pm
(9:02:49 PM):     While this is going on, Hetepheres is fulfilling some of her duties as an ambassador and doing paperwork. Which means two of her subordinates are doing paperwork and she's overseeing the process/slacking off.

VJockey 9:09 pm

wyverncakes 9:25 pm

wyverncakes 10:01 pm
(10:01:06 PM):     [Volya] The not-Fungal Growth is launched at the Brave, the machine retorting to throwing its cape at the attack!  "Hate to sac protection like this... but if it ends this fast!"  The Brave charges forward, slamming its axe down and into the ground!  The ground in front of it rumbles, not severely because, again... what Percival said about people dying, but it's still enough to knock both the Virgola and Interitus off-balance a bit!  Enough for the Brave to then charge on ahead again and attack Interitus!

wyverncakes 10:08 pm
(10:08:33 PM):     [Willis, Toby, and Volya] Well, the surest way to stop a pincher is to make an Oreo to, well, you get the idea.  The Strahland moves to guard against the Brave's attack... but the machine's hefty nature lets it unfortunately more-or-less swat the Strahland to the side in one blow and tear part of it off.  Oh well, give it enough time and nobody'd ever know.  It still buys Volya the time to bind up the bulky Brave though!  And Virgola Unit 2 has considerably better luck with stopping the Defender's own attack!
wyverncakes 10:08 pm

David was being cautioned about not losing his head.  Unfortunately, he didn't have a say in it as the Defender's just completely shot up from afar.  "H-hey... n-nooo!  Tha'ts... not faaiiii-" Try as he might to counter, Denzel had experience, surprise, and a tech advantage on his side.  The Defender goes down like a total bitch.  Which would be great, except...

VJockey 10:21 pm
(10:21:17 PM):     *Interitus moves to assist Denzel, pulling a sword from the mass of vines... sadly unlike the Lobera, its swings and slashes are clumsy and uncoordinated.+

wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:03 PM):     [Hetepheres] In spite of your numbers and the khopeshes own anti-sword design, Nathaniel nevertheless manages to hold his own as you continue your semi-offensive!  The silver barrier wards off the electricity of the Lightning Blade, leaving it a purely physical danger too, but the Knight keeps the blade tight in both of his hands, working to bat the khopeshes away!  "If only I knew where your cockpit was so I could be sure not to hit it...!" The best he can safely do to you though is abruptly swing up a leg to kick away one of your khopesh-wielding limbs and quickly slash down, taking the limb off at the wrist!

(10:22:17 PM):     (React/continue: Hetepheres)
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 pm

Which is followed by sending the whole thing slamming down to the ground.+
(10:23:15 PM):     Denzel: "But that thing makes all the difference!"
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:19 PM):     [Raquel] Well, the obvious reason is these guys are misguided... but not necessarily jerks.  Reason enough as you knock one to the ground with your sweeping strike that tears off its legs at the ankles while the other is smashed into the pavement.
tengusaur 10:24 pm
(10:24:53 PM):     "I know where yours is not for certain. And that is here!" Suddenly, using her free hands, Hetepheres quickly draws her staff, unfolds it to full length, stabs its head into Arondight's shoulder and fires a brief, but powerful laser right into it! +
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:30 PM):     [Heph] Well, yes indeed that's not where it is!  And Nathaniel pays for taking the Scaraber's hand with taking a blasts that costs his own machine its entire limb, blasting it backwards and leaving it to pry its blade from its fallen limb.  "Wel... well played..."
tengusaur 10:27 pm
(10:27:14 PM):     Hetepheres: "I have three more arms to spare. What about you?"
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:46 PM):     [Glory Stars and Volya] Setsuko and Toby do an admirable job of holding out against the lowly Defender mooks, and in the meantime Denzel's Gunnery Carvery stops the Lobera's blade, the weapon lodging in the gun's backside!  However, as Denzel tries to slam it down the weapon seems to begin to glow, gathering additional energy as it tears itself free from Denzel's trap!  And in that period of time he moves to continue his attack again... right before having to spin around and guard against Interitus's clumsy defense!
(10:30:01 PM):     Percival: "It has... no technique to those blows...!"
(10:30:08 PM):     But then...

wyverncakes 11:06 pm

wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:14 PM):     [Heph take 2] The missiles, not actually explosive but rather electrical, get destroyed with the Scaraber getting let off with a much smaller shock than it would've otherwise.  Unfortunately, no smokescreen though, so the Knight is able to bank to the side to try to avoid your attack and parry your blades... succeeding with the first two but not getting the third in time.  It settles instead for cutting off your limb with its laser blade, and pulling the khopesh out.

There is a thunderclap, and Tiankui is gone. A crater lies where it stood, as the force of it kicking off the ground and dashing back into the fray utterly destroyed the ground beneath it. Sarah's target is the enemy ship, and she moves almost too fast for the eye to follow as she goes to kick it. Specifically, she is trying to kick it out of the city.&
wyverncakes 11:18 pm
(11:18:01 PM):     [Denzel] The powerful energy cannon blasts out, but the not-funnels/"Slaves" scatter as if acting on a reflex.  Seven of them are still obliterated by the beam, but the Bird's response to Denzel's intervention is simple.  Unleash its own energy cannon blast at Unit 1, an attack that even manages to catch and damage a number of Bugs that were too close to the firing lane!  BUT... as it comes hurtling in, Percival's Lobera is still there for the automatic support defense, the machine's shield at the ready!
wyverncakes 11:19 pm

wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:08 PM):     [Sarah and Seta] Seta's little kinda-Hellzone Grenade trick does manage to thin out some more of the Slaves, minimizing the damage the RB takes... several more of them also heading towards the Huleh!  And there's Tiankui heading towards the Huleh too...!  Except... the Bird from before isn't unaware of this, moving to intercept with blinding speed to match Tiankui's!  From its hand a large beam saber generates, the machine slashing down at the attacking limb!

(11:38:05 PM):     (Meant the "it" to be the Huleh.  My bad.)
(11:38:15 PM):     (Just saying the Great Bird's preoccupied and can't defend the ship)

(11:38:17 PM):     *"Son of a-" her flight is interrupted by the attack, which knocks her slightly off course. It hits where Seta's kick landed before, and Sarah's side (inside the cockpit) is cut open, making blood drip out. Tiankui lands in the street, its jump failed. But Sarah's still got LUDICROUS AMOUNTS OF ENERGY, so she's gonna put it to good use. Tiankui places its palms in front of it, and a beam of blazing energy shoots out. It's diffuse at first, spread out over a large chunk of the hull, but as the ship gets pushed away Sarah will focus the beam into one coherent stretch of utter annihilation.+

VJockey 11:39 pm
(11:39:37 PM):     *Interitus proceeds to pull out some of its vines, a little painful, but either way Volya throws the flailing plant life at any of the enemy troops close by - especially the ones threatening allies. The vines that make it would snap tightly around their targets before explosively growing to engulf the machines they landed on+
cubey@aol.pl 11:39 pm
(11:39:38 PM):     Setsuko: "Please leave it to me!"
wyverncakes 11:39 pm
(11:39:44 PM):     [Raquel and Heph] Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams (admit it: you knew that term would be used during at least one mission) are not to be underestimated, with a number of Bugs falling by the wayside from the attack... and it ALSO frees up Raquel to pulverize the Knight at long last!  To say nothing about the damage it inflicts on the Huleh, striking that exposed weak point.
wyverncakes 11:40 pm
(11:40:49 PM):     [Volya] And Heph's not the only one trying to thin out the mooks!  The various Bugs are the easiest and most numerous threat to depower, and draining them makes life considerably easier for the various knights as they engage in their own fights as well!
cubey@aol.pl 11:41 pm
(11:41:06 PM):     *Virgola unit 3 already charged after in a followup strike. The Jack Carver is set up and prepared - and stabs into the deep wound on the side of the capital ship. Having penetrated its armor, it starts slicing in a single, long go.+
wyverncakes 11:43 pm
(11:43:52 PM):     [Setsuko and Sarah] And just as Sarah unleashes her salvaged attack on the ship, Unit 3's following in 2's footsteps, cutting into and then expanding on that wound, dicing the Aerogator vessel up more and more... before Sarah's supercharged attack finally connects, pushing the vessel up and up...
(11:44:39 PM):     The damage to Tiankui is meaning this kind of attack is putting a nasty strain on both the machine and its pilot, but she still manages to focus the blast...
(11:45:00 PM):     ... Piercing through the damaged section of the vessel before it finally explodes in a flashy explosion!
(11:45:42 PM):     There's a very brief pause with the remaining, and still somewhat numerous Aerogator forces.
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:09 PM):     ... Right before the Great Bird suddenly has one of its Slaves blow apart a stray Bug.
(11:47:22 PM):     The other machines suddenly seem to get this message, and suddenly chaos erupts right before you, with the remaining Bugs and Soldiers suddenly just opting to engage in their own personal teamkill-fest.  A rather explosive one too, on account of, well... everything.
(11:47:51 PM):     Seraphina: "H-heh!  They're all just scared now on account of-"
cubey@aol.pl 11:47 pm
(11:47:52 PM):     Setsuko: "What's going on? Why did they act like this?"
Atrament Corel 11:47 pm
(11:47:56 PM):     Seta: "...What..?"
wyverncakes 11:48 pm
(11:48:05 PM):     Percival: "...T-the stronger ones!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:48 pm
(11:48:16 PM):     Sarah: "They really don't want to leave anything behind to be analyzed, huh..."
tengusaur 11:48 pm
(11:48:16 PM):     Hetepheres: "They are not going to be a threat to the city anymore. Enjoy the bizarre spectacle."
wyverncakes 11:48 pm
(11:48:34 PM):     Sure enough, the damaged Lobera is pointing at the remaining two Knights and the Great Bird, now fleeing.
(11:48:47 PM):     And actually quite far away.
(11:49:32 PM):     Dirchs: "... Using the confusion of that to cover an escape.  Along with not possibly not wanting to leave their tech behind."
(11:49:40 PM):     "... They're stepping their game up."
wyverncakes 11:50 pm
(11:50:21 PM):     Indeed, there's a reasonable chunk of the city that's just now a complete wreck.  Honestly, David's road-stab that started all of this is the least of it now.
(11:50:29 PM):     And speaking of the Knights...
tengusaur 11:50 pm
(11:50:42 PM):     Hetepheres: "We have succeeded in driving them off. That is the most important part."
VJockey 11:50 pm
(11:50:45 PM):     "...."
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:09 PM):     Percival's just walking back towards the other machines.  "And we should be fortunate enough our own battle was incentive to start evacuation.  With that in consideration, hopefully nobody died here."
Atrament Corel 11:51 pm
(11:51:34 PM):     Seta quickly sets down her Craft and dismisses it once she's on the ground. It still strains her to maintain that after all.
cubey@aol.pl 11:51 pm
(11:51:41 PM):     Setsuko: "I... am not sure." She looks around the devastation.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:51 pm
(11:51:46 PM):     Sarah: "Hey, percy, you alright in there? You took a lot of hits..."
cubey@aol.pl 11:51 pm
(11:51:57 PM):     "If we were not here to intervene, it would be much worse than this... right?"
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:00 PM):     There's some more grumbling from the Knights' commander.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:52 pm
(11:52:16 PM):     Sarah: "Good to know."
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:22 PM):     Nathaniel: "If they would have attacked this place regardless of us being here, yes."
(11:52:26 PM):     "So for that..."
(11:52:36 PM):     Percival: "Everyone.  We're leaving."
VJockey 11:52 pm
(11:52:51 PM):     "..!"
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:55 PM):     The damaged Lobera turns to you all.  "This city has seen enough destruction, and we have damaged in the streets."
(11:53:09 PM):     "I do not want to risk anyone else's life here today.  Even Volya's."
(11:53:17 PM):     "He's saved my son's life-"
(11:53:20 PM):     WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?
VJockey 11:53 pm
(11:53:26 PM):     "!!!!"
tengusaur 11:53 pm
(11:53:29 PM):     Hetepheres: "If not for our united defense of the city, it would have probably been razed to the ground completely. The casualties would have been very high."
cubey@aol.pl 11:53 pm
(11:53:32 PM):     Toby: "Come on. I know a few organisations who attack us just because Unity Group's there, I don't think we need to add Aerogators to the mix."
VJockey 11:53 pm
(11:53:32 PM):     "Jacob is-"
(11:53:40 PM):     "..."
(11:53:54 PM):     [Ow.. OWOWOW. Brain. Hurt. Too much to deal with.]
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:00 PM):     "... And he was crucial in dealing with the Aerogator's warship.  For that, we can look away.  Just this once."
VJockey 11:54 pm
(11:54:27 PM):     "...Thank you..."
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:37 PM):     David: "Y-you're kidding!  All that talk of him... of him destroying the world and..."
(11:54:40 PM):     His voice is just trailing off.
(11:54:44 PM):     Nobody cares about you David.
cubey@aol.pl 11:54 pm
(11:54:46 PM):     Denzel: "I hope it's not just a one time thing. You just experiened it yourself - better to work with us, not against."
VJockey 11:54 pm
(11:54:56 PM):     [Yeah his heart sort of sinks here.]
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:57 PM):     The Lobera just hefts up the wrecked Defender.
VJockey 11:55 pm
(11:55:09 PM):     [Best friend wanting to murder him that badly? Not a good feeling.]
wyverncakes 11:55 pm
(11:55:24 PM):     "And any conflicts, disregarding Volya, you can count on the same."
Atrament Corel 11:55 pm
(11:55:37 PM):     Seta: "I will say that...I do not wish to have to fight you again..."
wyverncakes 11:55 pm
(11:55:46 PM):     "But for now... good bye."
(11:56:20 PM):     The knights with functioning arms salute.  The ones without but working waists bow.  And after that?  They depart.
(11:56:23 PM):     MISSION
(11:56:25 PM):     ACCOMPLISHED
tengusaur 11:56 pm
(11:56:44 PM):     Hetepheres: "If you attack again, we shall fight against you again as well. That will not change, but we shall fight with honor. Farewell."
