cubey@aol.pl (02:16:52): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:16): Whatever you were doing today... DOES NOT MATTER.
Overman Zappa (02:19:34): WHAT WHY?
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:40): Suddenly the whole of Unity Group was put on its feet by an alert.
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:46): To be more precise - a Kaiju alert.
ZebulonCrispi (02:20:03): Ohoho.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:15): Everyone who was available to deploy has been mobilized and sent to the city that is projected to be targetted.
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:10): Pentacost: "Manila, ladies and gentlemen."
Overman Zappa (02:21:16): Fortunately amongst that group was someone who has some good experience withfighting giant foes; aside from the specialized Jaegers. Good ol Banjou Haran!
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:51): Pentacost: "That city is under attack by the kaiju - again. A generation 1 Jaeger from the Pan Pacific Defense Corps is already there to defend it. But it will not be enough."
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:15): Pentacost: "That's where you come in, Unity Group. I count on you to move in there and stop the kaiju before Manila become contaminated - or worse."
ZebulonCrispi (02:22:19): Suma: "Always wanted to fight one of those!"
tengusaur (02:22:24): Hetepheres: "Ah, an opportunity to meet one of the infamous colossi. Let us support the Jaeger, before it is overwhelmed. Prepare the Scaraber at once!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:30): You receive a briefing from the Marshall while your units are being transported south from Japan via shuttle.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:22:52): Yancy and Raleigh stand silently to the sides, eying everyone curiously…wondering how they'll do when confronting one of the beasts of the Pacific.
Overman Zappa (02:23:00): Daitarn 3 is flying alongside, Banjou keeping up with the briefing as well.
Meraxa (02:23:00): Ken was... tense, as ScarleTiger was set to move. Sure, he'd had experience already, and seen similar things, but... nothing had quite signalled the way things changed like the kaiju.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:28): Pentacost: "Any questions?"
Meraxa (02:23:53): Ken: Whats... the best advice you have?
ZebulonCrispi (02:23:58): Suma seldom has questions. Today is no exception.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:17): Pentacost: "Keep your eyes peeled and expect everything. Every kaiju we fought was more deadly than the last."
Ginkan SK (02:24:23): Raquel is snapped out of a good deal of training in when she heard there was a Kaiju alert so here she is. "Yes sir, is a persona's trooper's cockpit sufficently sealed against Kaiju blue? I tend to get up close and personal with how I fight."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:24:24): "Be careful with your weapons fire as well." Yancy says for starters.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:30): Pentacost: "And this is a category four. It will not be easy."
tengusaur (02:24:39): Hetepheres: "Are there any weapons we should refrain from using? I heard about the properties of Kaiju blood."
Meraxa (02:24:58): Ken: Category four? Those are the largest...
Aero (02:25:30): Willis: "So far!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:33): Pentacost: "Energy and melee weapons are your priority. The less kaiju blue is send splattering through the air, the better."
cubey@aol.pl (02:26:04): Pentacost: "Your cockpits should be protected from its corrosive effect. The buildings of Manila are not so lucky."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:26:22): "The blood of Kaiju makes an oil spill look like spring rain." Yancy clarifies. "Avoid any piercing weapons, and try to use heat or energy based ones if possible."
ZebulonCrispi (02:26:31): Hmm.
Overman Zappa (02:26:38): Banjou :" I'll try to keep it in mind but... it's not going to be easy."
Meraxa (02:27:06): Ken: Oh, those I can do. *He says, a small roar as ScarleTiger's face briefly glows*
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:09): Pentacost: "I see mr Beckett did his homework. Listen to his advice, he has most experience fighting the kaiju."
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:23): Pentacost: "We will maintain radio contact. Pentacost out."
Ginkan SK (02:27:32): Raquel "I get it keep to blunt taruma and fire I take it? Then?"
Meraxa (02:27:51): Ken: Then you take it down.
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:58): Right on time, as your aircraft arrives at the city.
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:17): Manila is in uproar, with a lot of civilians fleeing through its busy streets, trying to get away from...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:28:21): "One last thing" Raleigh says to the gang. "The chief goal every Ranger has when tangling with Kaiju…is holding the Miracle Mile. That's the line between the sea-coast and the populated areas. Hold that mile at all costs, and nobody has to die."
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:51): To get away from a Jaeger visible in the harbor area, fighting something in the waters.
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:55): Fighting... and losing!
Meraxa (02:29:27): Ken: ...It might be a bit late for the mile. But we can still keep it away!
tengusaur (02:29:43): Hetepheres: "I hear what you mean. Let us do this."
tengusaur (02:29:53): Hetepheres: "We shall hold the line!"
Ginkan SK (02:30:00): Raquel "Let's not screw around here! Got it so about two clicks out."
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:02): The friendly Jaeger:
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:30:03): Yancy: "Damn straight! Miracle Mile, everyone!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:04): http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131120025642/pacificrim/images/6/65/Jaeger-02.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:36): It seems entangled in the kaiju's tail. The tail is barbed and stabs the Jaeger's chest time and time again.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:30:45): Raleigh: "Horizon Brave! This is Gypsy Danger, read to drop in on your position! You need any–?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:30:51): Then the stabbing happens.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:30:54): "Jesus!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:59): Other than the tail, you see a crocodile-like head. If the rest of the body is proportional to it, the kaiju is actually pretty small...
Overman Zappa (02:31:04): Banjou: Looks like a bit of a relic down there.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:04): Only a bit larger than a mobile suit.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:20): Initiative order: Ken, Raquel, Banjou, Hetepheres, Becketts, Suma, Willis, Yuuya
Aero (02:31:22): Willis: "Huh....didn't they got that small."
ZebulonCrispi (02:31:25): Suma: "I imagined it would be bigger."
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:32): Ken, Raquel and Banjou, move out and rescue that Jaeger!
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:36): Enemies: MN-84
Overman Zappa (02:31:51): Banjou: "You got it!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:00): Allies: Horizon Brave (heavily damaged)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:32:12): Yancy: "We're not ready to drop yet, gang! Move in and get that Kaiju's attention!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:32:35): "Remember: Heat, blunt, and energy weapons!"
Overman Zappa (02:32:36): Drop? Pff, Daitarn is always ready to drop! He doesn't fit in your transport!
Meraxa (02:32:52): Ken: Don't assume anything till you see the whole body! I read last mission's report! *And indeed Ken leaps into the fray, ScarleTiger coming down... with a mighty kick!+
tengusaur (02:32:56): Hetepheres: "Size of an enemy does not matter. It often does not correspond to strength."
Ginkan SK (02:33:34): Raquel "Don't judge it by it's size. We can't let Horizon Brave's crew be killed let's move!" The Amazon drops in quicly using its Tessla drive ot keep in the air as it moves in to head towards the Kaijhuy she's going to attemp to steike at the base of the tail with a powerful Ki charged kick hopefully that might get it to losen it's hold on the Jager. "Good work holdinfg it till we got here." She notes to the Jager's crew.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:44): Do you attack the tail or the head, Ken?
Overman Zappa (02:35:40): *Daitarn changes from Daifighter and drops down beside the Kaiju, wasting little time working with Ken to smash it's massive fist into the Kaiju's ugly mug+
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:40): Congrats Raquel, you got the Kaiju's attention. It lets loose of the Jaeger - and tries to smack you with its tail, full force! It is very long and thick, much more than you'd expect from the size of the head... but also very fast with its whip like motion.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:44): React!
Meraxa (02:36:02): (Head on, apply directly to the forehead)
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:22): As Banjou and Ken move on to attack the kaiju's head, it raises from the water.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:30): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130807151818/darksouls/images/f/f1/Gaping_Dragon.png
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:36:38): Yancy: "Horizon Brave! What's your sitrep? Do you need us to cover your retreat?"
Aero (02:36:43): #Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:44): A huge body, over 100 meters tall, raises from the body.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:47): Approved Willis
Ginkan SK (02:37:21): Raquel attempts to evade there ain't no way she wants to become the next victem of the tail after all+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:37:24): Raleigh: "What the–it's like some kind of twisted Venus Fly trap!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:29): Most of its torso seems to be made of teeth... no, it's a maw - a gaping maw that loses a few teeth from the impact, but now tries to chomp down on ScarleTiger and Daitarn!
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:31): React!
ZebulonCrispi (02:37:31): Suma: "Ahahaha, that's more like it!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:37:47): #Ken and his Banjo?
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:59): Approved.
Overman Zappa (02:38:06): Banjou "How did I not see that coming?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:38:20): Yancy grimaces. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Aero (02:38:59): * "Heads up!" With it's attention on Raquel, Strahlend comes crashing down towards the Kaiju and uses the momentum of the fall to try to cut through the thicker part of the tail with it's sword. +
Ishikar3 (02:39:10): Yuuya and the argos flight follow in behind having exchanged their HEAT rounds for more basic HESH rounds at the recommendation of the operation commander. Yuuya: "Why can nothing ever be easier than anticipated?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:13): Horizon Brave pilot: "Heavy damage! [static] We ne[static] to..."
tengusaur (02:39:18): Hetepheres: "What a peculiar creature, full of horrible power! Are all Kaiju this ugly?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:30): Interrupted by the creature emerging from the waters.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:39:37): Raleigh: "You know it!" Gypsy's right hand unspools into a plasma caster. "Ken! Banjou! Clear the way!" Still being carried by the transport, Gypsy takes aim and fires from above, right into the Kaiju's mouth!+
Overman Zappa (02:39:40): *Even for it's size those teeth would do some hurt."I'm no dentist but!" Daitarn takes hold of some of the clamping teeth. And while trying to keep it's maw from closing, it's pulling it's teeth upward and out!
tengusaur (02:39:41): Hetepheres: "We have come to your aid, do not worry."
Overman Zappa (02:39:48): +
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:49): Both of the Rangers inside the mark 1 are struck speechless, probably.
Aero (02:39:52): Willis: "You'd think a TSF pilot would be used to things getting worse!"
Meraxa (02:40:26): Ken: Told you about the body! *There's some irritation, mind, as Ken tries to turn his kick into a leap, using the kaiju's body as his stepping stone!+
Ishikar3 (02:40:45): Yuuya: "Yes, but is still wears on the nerves. I'd like a NICE surprise on a mission for once."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:40:55): Yancy: "Say again, Horizon? We're getting static on your end!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:21): The whip like attack against Raquel misses, the kaiju's tail shakes in pain as Willis cuts into it!
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:40): At the same time, it is being held by Daitarn and takes a plasme caster shot to the colossal mouth.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:56): It does not like it, and the kaiju jumps back, towards deeper waters.
Aero (02:42:02): Willis: "Retreating already..."
Ginkan SK (02:42:12): Raquel says "Could be reactor issues, or something they know about how this thing fights." Raquel gets damn lucky and part of her minds wonders whart sort of world would spawn something like that?
Meraxa (02:42:21): Ken: Don't let it get away!
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:21): It is ridiculously strong, you lose your grip on it like it was nothing. Next thing you know, you're splashed with a huge wave of water.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:39): Hetepheres and the Beckett bros, go!
Ginkan SK (02:42:43): Raquel "IT's not running, I think it's trying to get into a better spot to strike."
tengusaur (02:43:04): Hetepheres: "I shall lure it out of the water. Get ready to strike."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:43:24): Yancy nods. "Right after you, Heph!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:31): Horizon Brave is gathering its bearings. The Jaeger is heavily damaged, but even if it's a mark-1, it can still fight.
Aero (02:43:41): Willis: "Still a tactical retreat!"
Meraxa (02:44:31): Ken: Especially where it might be harder for anything under a certain height to stand on even grounds...
tengusaur (02:44:37): * Scaraber flies around in circles on its insectoid wings, staying relatively close to the surface. With a spin, Hetepheres draws the staff from the shell and unfolds it, and proceeds to fire rapid lasers at the monster swimming underwater! +
Overman Zappa (02:44:43): "All you missy. But if it goes out too far, I can still give chase. I'm not sure how much pressure the rest of you can handle in your machines."
tengusaur (02:45:10): (Also Scaraber has the golden Noble Barrier, because it's the first turn.)
Ishikar3 (02:46:10): Yuuya: TSFs won't leak but we're not worthwhile underwater. If it comes to it we'll go back to swap equipment and provide bombardment support from above..
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:49:15): *Sounds good by me, Yuuya!" Yancy replies. "Raleigh! Get your arm charged up!" Gypsy Danger lands in the water, sending a cloud of spray into the air. The Mark III Jaeger breaks into a charge towards the creature, both it's arm cannons crackling with arcs of plasma–! &
VJockey (02:50:51): "Lets see if that thing likes getting blasted in half!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:13): Scaraber's attacks enrage the kaiju - seeing both it and Gypsy Danger get closer, MN-84's huge maw raises from the water once again. It's snapped back, but it moves in a powerful motion.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:35): Suddenly it gets dark as the huge mouth threatens to engulf both the Jaeger and the alien bug mecha - from above!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:38): React/continue.
Ginkan SK (02:51:49): Raquel is aiming to keep an eye on Horizon Brave to make sure it's crew gets the chance to recover. "There it is!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:04): Horizon Brave available for supports by the way.
VJockey (02:52:48): *Boost jumping would be a BAD idea here, so backpedal quickly while firing shot after shot into the kaijiu in an attempt to cut it apart even more than its mouth already splits it_
VJockey (02:52:50): +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:53:39): Yancy reopens the comm link to Horizon Brave. "Guys! Do you have any Cryo-Fluid left in your cannons?"
tengusaur (02:53:52): * "Now! It is all yours." Hetepheres takes off high into the air, outside of the jaws' range! She also fires a few more lasers right into the maw for a good measure. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:47): The attacks... do nothing.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:53): No, not because the kaiju is so tough.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:00): Rather, someone support-defended it.
Meraxa (02:55:21): Ken: !
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:25): A levitating rotund (which is to say: fat) robot with golden plating.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:55:30): Yancy: "…What is that?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:41): It spun its cane, generating a force field that tanked all the hits!
tengusaur (02:55:41): Hetephers: "...We meet again."
Aero (02:55:55): Willis: "I was kind of hoping he'd be dead after what I did last time..."
tengusaur (02:55:56): Hetepheres: "I did not expect to see you here."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:56:03): "Wait…" He thinks back over his mission debriefing. "That's one of those Ladyfinger guys, right?"
VJockey (02:56:09): "What the hell is he-"
VJockey (02:56:21): "Yancy did he just protect the-"
tengusaur (02:56:27): Hetepheres: "Cicero Townsend."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:56:36): Yancy: "Remember that report, Raleigh? Those Cockney teleport worshippers?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:38): Cicero: "I cannot have you destroy one of the Lady's messangers so easily!"
Overman Zappa (02:56:48): Banjou : Again... seriously...You just love getting in the way don't you?
Aero (02:56:53): Willis: "Maybe I should have put more effort into it..."
Meraxa (02:56:57): Ken: ...The 'lady' is responsible for the Kaiju?!
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:28): Cicero: "Everything that happens on Earth is because of the Lady. How foolish of you to not understand!"
tengusaur (02:57:43): Hetepheres: "You consider the Kaiju to be your Lady's messengers? You truly are insane."
Meraxa (02:58:02): Ken: ...Then by your logic, so will us kicking your ass be covered by that.
Overman Zappa (02:58:08): Banjou: "That's a bluff. No human is responsible for these monsters." And he firmly believes that.
Ginkan SK (02:58:19): Raquel "No one has the biotech tomake something like this."
Ginkan SK (02:58:25): Raquel "Not on earth."
Ishikar3 (02:58:35): Yuuya: I don't believe that the lady is a human Banjou.
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:42): Cicero: "Oh ye of little faith! Regardless, I take it your opinion has unchanged."
Aero (02:58:51): Willis: "What made you think that!?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:56): Cicero: "In such a case! Go, mugs! Move it!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:19): The Lady's Good Men appear from behind various buildings in Manila.
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:21): Which is to say, behind you.
Meraxa (02:59:23): Ken: Oh, its changed. Now I want to punch you even more!
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:28): It's a pincer attack!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:59:38): "Yo!" Yancy says sharply. "Cicero Townshead! Is your Lady in favor of watching an entire city get destroyed, along with every man, woman and child in it?"
Ishikar3 (02:59:54): Yuuya: They sound more like religious wackos worshipping some larger than life entity than anything to speak to them directly.
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:59): New enemies: Chain Yob x8, Blaze Yob x4, Razor Yob x4, Muzzle Yob x4, Robber Baron
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:21): (Say if you want descriptions of these things)
Ishikar3 (03:00:33): (Would be welcome)
Aero (03:00:40): Willis: "Looks like we're going to have to split up."
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:54): Cicero: "This is all your fault for abusing the Lady's gifts! Everyone who dies here today... their deaths are because of you, Unity Group!"
Ginkan SK (03:01:05): Raquel "I got plenty of faith, I just don't bow to your lady."
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:10): http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1172138
Yob

Chain Yob - armed with clubs and chains
Blaze Yob - flamethrowers
Razor Yob - whole body is buzzsaws
Muzzle Yob - body hides a large cannon
tengusaur (03:01:25): Hetepheres: "I am pretty sure Kaiju attacks have started long before Unity Group was established."
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:38): Suma and Willis, go.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:02:01): "Wrong!" Yancy says. "If anyone dies here today, it'll be because you're an asshole!"
Meraxa (03:02:01): Ken: He really is crazy in the head...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:02:15): Yancy grits his teeth. "What the heck is with this guy, Raleigh?"
ZebulonCrispi (03:02:27): Maaan she really wants to fight that Kaiju, but... fiiine. Sefet's a terrible match for that fight, anyway, and fighting in water is a pain.
Ginkan SK (03:02:33): Raquel "Correct, they have been a problem for a while. I don't know who this guy is but he's in for an ass kicking!"
tengusaur (03:02:34): Hetepheres: "You are getting in our way as we try to defend this city and its innocent inhabitants from a rampaging monster. Get out of our way, or meet our wrath."
VJockey (03:02:37): "I'd almost say he's one of those Kaijiu worshipping loonies."
Ishikar3 (03:02:39): Yuuya: We'll help run interference on the guys in the city, it's more favorable terrain for us
VJockey (03:02:41): "But he's worse."
Aero (03:02:51): Willis: "That seems like the plan for us smaller guys."
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:07): Cicero: "Those who can do, do. Those who cannot, complain! Tch." He throws away the now-useless cane. It kinda melted from taking too many hits during that defend.
ZebulonCrispi (03:03:13): * So instead, she goes straight for the Chain Yobs! Two longswords float around Sefet, ready to try and sever any chains that they bring against her, as she moves to cut them in half with the claymore. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:26): Robber Baron floats up higher, above the kaiju. MN-84 ignores it, as if not even noticing its presence.
Ishikar3 (03:04:19): Yuuya: That's odd, Do they have some system or pulse generator to confuse the Kaiju?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:04:20): "I can't disagree with you on that." Yancy agrees. "Keep those wackjobs off our back while we finish the Jaeger!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:34): The Yobs seem to have learnt from the last time. Sefet's charge is met with a ranged counter - the Yobs fling their chains from afar, hoping to connect before Suma reaches them, while the Muzzle ones provide supporting fire!
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:36): React!
Aero (03:04:52): * Well, Willis runs back towards the the city but not before tossing Quicksilver to send it spinning towards the Robber Baron. +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:05:07): [Redacted] "I can't disagree with you on that." Yancy agrees. "Keep those wackjobs off our back while we finish the Kaiju!"
tengusaur (03:05:29): Hetepheres: "His machine has a powerful stealth system that can fool radars. Perhaps it works on the Kaiju's senses, as well."
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:38): Cicero: "The gift of sneakiness is but one of many - but this one, the Lady bestowed upon me personally. Among others!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:21): The Robber Baron spins as Willis's blade nears it - and as if caught in a gravity field, the sword circles around the golden thing, and is then sent returning to sender - sharp bits first! React.
Meraxa (03:06:38): Ken: Like the cane that just melted?
tengusaur (03:06:48): # Willis
ZebulonCrispi (03:06:51): * Not one to be swayed, Suma pushes forward! The longswords spin around to cut the chains, and the scimitar plants into the ground blade-first - then Sefet uses it as a springboard to jump up over the incoming cannonfire! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:53): Cicero: "That was but a toy!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:56): Approved, Heph.
Meraxa (03:07:26): Ken: So you're just playing, I get it. Go back to the playground then.
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:41): Pentacost: "What the hell is going on out there?"
Aero (03:07:51): Willis: "Things got complicated!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:05): Pentacost: "How did those people sneak past Ranger support units?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:08:10): Yancy: "A third party entered the fray, General!" Yancy says.
tengusaur (03:08:16): * Scaraber suddenly gets in the way of that tossed sword, four khopeshes drawn in one smooth gesture! Hetepheres tries to use their hooks to block and grab the flying blade! Also, Scaraber still has the anti-physical golden Barrier. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:24): This question seems directed at someone on his side back at base, and the answer does not make him happy.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:08:31): "Those followers of the Lady that the U.G. encounter earlier! Apparently they have stealth systems!"
Aero (03:09:44): * Well since he has some form of remote control over the sword he tries to slow it down as it approaches to catch. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:47): Alright Suma, you get those chains out of the way and manage to cut down the nearest Chain Yob. But while you're mid-air, one of the cannon shots hits you in the shoulder, sending Sefet to the ground from the force of impact.
tengusaur (03:10:27): Hetepheres: "You have fought Scaraber before, Cicero. But you have yet to witness the power of the four-armed Scarab Frame!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:10:29): Suma: "Ggh!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:37): The blade is returned to Willis unharmed.
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:47): But the huge kaiju is looming above you now, ready to swallow you whole!
Aero (03:10:48): Willis: "Thanks Heph."
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:54): Ken, Raquel, Banjou, go.
Aero (03:11:00): Willis: "Ah..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:11:25): #Willis?
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:38): No need for reacts.
tengusaur (03:12:09): Hetepheres: "We need to occupy the Lady's Good Men until the Kaiju is dealt with."
tengusaur (03:12:41): Hetepheres: "I trust you can do that?"
Ishikar3 (03:13:04): Yuuya: We'll be all set to take care of that General
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:07): Pentacost: "Support fire teams will be at your location shortly, try to hold on until then... what?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:28): And suddenly, the line with Pan Pacific Defense Corps HQ is cut.
VJockey (03:13:33): "We'll handle it. Kill number five is-"
VJockey (03:13:37): "Marshall?"
VJockey (03:13:41): "Marshall come in!"
Meraxa (03:13:47): Ken: Come on! *Deciding to test out how well a beast this size holds its own weight, Ken unleashes his weight, aiming for a leg!* Scarlet Whip! *A whip that, despite the wet environment, ignites with a heat that could metal, and scorch flesh! But what of Kaiju?+
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:58): No reaction.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:14:08): Yancy flicks at the comm controls. "It's dead, Yancy! Something's interdicting the transmission!"
Meraxa (03:14:15): *his whip
Overman Zappa (03:14:25): *A ball drops from Daitarn's shoulder and is promptly attached to a chain. "I can at least use this much." he says, whipping the ball around and bashing through a few of those hideous teeth.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:36): Horizon Brave pilot: "First time [static static] has jamming on us."
tengusaur (03:14:41): Hetepheres: "Cicero Townsend, is this your doing?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:00): Cicero: "Huh?"
tengusaur (03:15:14): Hetepheres: "That answers my question."
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:05): As Ken tries to attack the kaiju's leg, it counters by the long tail shooting out again - it does not bother with entangling, the barbed end goes for a killing blow! React!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:16:07): "Yeah. " Yancy replies to Horizon. "This is damn weird. "
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:16:21): #Ken?
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:36): (By the way, Yuuya can move as well)
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:39): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:23): The huge kaiju mouth tries to grab at the ball, even though it wounds it and sends kaiju blue dripping down its body.
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:03): With a violent twist, it uses its terrifying strength to try to wrest the Daitarn Hammer from its namesake's hands. Banjou, react.
Meraxa (03:18:11): Ken: Not the first! *Really, really not the first tail to try this. Ken tries to leap up, perhaps letting it hit itself...? At the veey least, he tries to maneuver aside whilst maintaining a grip+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:18:20): *"Ain't gonna happen!" Gypsy Danger surges forward and grabs at the barbed tail, pulling it taut and holding it back from Ken! "Raleigh! Hold on!"+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:18:58): "Horizon Brave!" Yancy shouts. "If you've got cryo ammo left, now might be a good time to use it!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:19:07): @Gypsy, with Horizon Brave?
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:12): The tail tries to strike forward time and time again, but the tip can only shake angrily as the Jaeger's grip is strong and secure. The kaiju's leg starts to burn from intense heat!
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:17): Approved.
Ginkan SK (03:19:54): Raquel "Great, just great..." Theya re cut off and now they are going to have to do this on our own."
Overman Zappa (03:20:24): *"Made it bleed anyway... well... that option's out..." Banjou lets the hammer go but not before activating the spikes on it and letting the Kaiju have a nice yummy, spikey snack to get stuck down his gullet.
VJockey (03:20:41): "Lets just see what a little thermal expansion'll do to this thing!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:58): The kaiju spits the hammer away, but not before suffering further damage from the spikes.
Ishikar3 (03:21:20): *The argos flight kicks around and heads back towards the town. They take fire and focus on suppressing the Cannon Yobs as they approach taking particular care to cover Suma. When he gets close enough Yuuya dives in with his TSF's blade and strikes one of the cannon Yobs between the apparent armor plates in his shoulder.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:21:23): *Horizon Brave lumpers forward, wounded but not out of the fight! It levels it's pontoon-like shoulder cannons, and cryo fluid shoots out at high velocity, coating the red hot section of the tail! And you know what happens when hot objects suddenly shift temperature…!+
Ginkan SK (03:22:13): (Can I get a refresh on enemioes and where we are in action order?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:19): The tail becomes very brittle... and crumbles away at the base! The kaiju roars in pain, its giant mouth reaching for the sky.
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:27): Enemies (Good Men): Chain Yob x7 (2 damaged), Blaze Yob x4, Razor Yob x4, Muzzle Yob x4, Robber Baron (Cicero)
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:39): Also Enemies: MN-84 (Wounded)
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:54): Initiative order: Ken, Raquel, Banjou, Hetepheres, Becketts, Suma, Willis, Yuuya
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:57): Now moving, Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:12): The Yob pilots are not disciplined military men, I'll tell you that. Their formation is easy to disrupt if there's more than one attacker - and the Muzzle Yob takes some serious damage.
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:40): But the Blaze Yobs soon pick up, and Yuuya's flight find themselves in a warm place. Literally - they fire their flamethrowers. React!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:24:44): "Whooh-Hooh!" Yancy hollars. "Will you look at that? Fine work, if I say so myself, Raleigh!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:05): Horizon Brave pilot: "Good!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:21): (There's two of them but the other stays silent. Not a very talkative person.)
Aero (03:25:23): #Yuuya
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:26): Approved.
Aero (03:26:04): * Good thing those Blaze Yobs don't have Gravity Fields. The spinning blade is sent out to take out those Blaze Yobs. +
Ginkan SK (03:26:05): Raquel knows those better suited to fight the Kaiju are on it so she's going to go after the enemy uynits as she notices the Chain Yobs once more. She darts in skimming across the water at high speed mocing in to grab one by it's chains hopefully spin it around and use it as a weapon against its fellows!+
Ishikar3 (03:26:35): *As the flames lick up towards the TSFs they Vector their thrusters and use the wake wash from the thrust to push back the flames while darting back and to the side behind the cover of a building.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:26:45): "Sorry about that." Yancy says sheepishly. "That was fine shooting, Horizon. Fine shooting."
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:54): The Yob throws its chain at Amazon - how helpful. You spin it around and crash into an already damaged mook, trashing both.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:06): Then Raquel is met with a counter-attack of Muzzle Yob shots. React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:37): One of the Blaze Yobs is cut apart by Willis and explodes, the rest do not manage to fry the TSFs in time.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:51): Heph, Beckett bros - move.
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:05): (Raquel still has to react of course)
Ishikar3 (03:28:14): #Raquel?
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:20): Approved.
tengusaur (03:28:25): Most of the enemies are occupied for now, except one. Hetepheres turns towards the Robber Baron.
VJockey (03:28:51): "I say its time to give this thing a sharp taste in the mouth."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:29:03): "You know, Raleigh?" Yancy remarks slightly. "I agree!"
tengusaur (03:29:09): Hetepheres: "Show me what tricks have you learned since last time, envoy."
VJockey (03:29:17): [Barbed tail + Jaw = Jammed open? Probably not but to hell with it, lets give it a go!]
Ishikar3 (03:30:08): *As the TSFs scatter Stella cuts across the fire path of the Muzzle Yobs and looses a volley of HESH rounds to collide with the shell as it's leaving the cannon muzzle to intercept the shot.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:30:31): *Gypsy Danger picks up the severed, spiked tail of the Kaiju, and hefts it in one hand like a throwing spear. Then it charges forward at the Kaiju, approaching from the side and taking aim at one of it's jaws! &
tengusaur (03:31:07): * Scaraber starts to fly around the fat golden mecha, keeping a fair distance, as if waiting for an opportune moment to strike. And then, it happens! The bug-like robot moves forward, as if ready for a charge, but instead of rushing closer it drops down - and then raises straight up, spinning all four of its blades and attacking Robber Baron straight for below like a razor-sharp windmill! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:26): MN-84 is too furious for subtlety. It does not even try to eat Gipsy Danger, it just charges forward to meet you and crush the Jaeger with its mass.
Ginkan SK (03:31:26): Raquel moves to evade the incoming attack. "Thanks for the help!" +
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:28): React/continue!
tengusaur (03:31:50): Also Hetepheres' Noble Barrier switches to Silver mode - anti-beam.
Ishikar3 (03:32:12): Stella: "No problem, they should keep their toys to themselves, we don't care to play with them today."
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:18): One of the Muzzle Yobs suffers from a point blank explosion that renders it a useless wreck.
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:38): Amazon manages to evade another shot, but the third is a glancing hit! Be careful.
VJockey (03:32:40): *Well that momentum is going to be pretty painful for it! Elbow rockets fire to send its hand forward - and the incoming Kaiju's charge would embed the tail even deeper. They can deal with the impact... hopefully+
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:39): Cicero: "This battlefield needs neither women nor aliens. Out of my sight!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:33:39): Yancy: "C'MON! BRING IT!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:19): As Hetepheres' dance of death begins, Robber Baron lifts both of its arms - Scaraber starts to slow before a single hit can connect. It seems the Good Man tries to catch you in some kind of telekinetic grasp!
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:19): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:53): Gipsy Danger is trampled by the Kaiju - and starts accumulating damage. One of your legs is getting really stiff and unresponsive!
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:07): But the charge is stopped as the kaiju roars and stands up on its hind legs.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:14): Pained from having its own tail embedded in its mouth.
Aero (03:35:24): #Heph
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:37): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:47): Suma, Willis, Yuuya can go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:57): (Feel free to incorporate your # in your action, Willis)
ZebulonCrispi (03:36:12): (Enemy count?)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:36:19): *"Crap!" Yancy hisses. "The mechanics aren't going to like that!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:23): Enemies (Good Men): Chain Yob x5 (1 damaged), Blaze Yob x3, Razor Yob x4, Muzzle Yob x3 (1 heavily damaged), Robber Baron (Cicero)
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:25): + MN-84
ZebulonCrispi (03:37:24): * Suma... charges at the chain yobs again! Is she immune to common sense?
tengusaur (03:37:28): Hetepheres: "The only one this battle does not need is you." She throws one of her swords towards Robber Baron - but that is more as a distraction than to damage it. The real attack comes from another side - the now-free hand draws her laser staff and fires a focused beam, trailing it over her enemy's hands! "Begone!" +
VJockey (03:37:30): "No they aren't... but any fight we can walk away from.."
ZebulonCrispi (03:37:54): * ...Except this time, when the muzzle yobs take aim, her longswords fly like railgun shells right towards the open cannon ports. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:41): "Ahh, damn you!" His unit smoking, Cicero retreats rapidly, but not before sending Scaraber crashing down, the bug-like mecha disappearing underwater.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:56): That's good pattern recognition Suma - you put two Muzzle Yobs out of commission quite easily. But watch out, the chain ones grab their clubs and try to clobber you up in the meantime.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:57): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:13): (Ah, sorry, I did not wait for Willis defense yet. Scratch the Heph part)
Aero (03:40:26): (Ah it's fine.)
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:42): (Take your action anyway)
Ishikar3 (03:41:00): *Watching Suma charge the Argos flight flanks along the side streets, taking shots of opportunity and using the confusion of the streets to drive the Yobs into disadvantageos positions. Yuuya darts behind the confused Yobs and strikes with his blade into weak areas in the unit's backs.+
ZebulonCrispi (03:41:10): * This is why Sefet has so many swords! As the chain yobs approach, out comes the cleaver, which she spins in a wide arc to either cut them down or keep them at a distance. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:02): One of the Yob pilots was an idiot and did not stop even after Suma continued with sword swinging and such. The rest jumped back, only for one of them to be destroyed by Yuuya as well.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:28): But here's something new - another jumps at the TSF, razor saws on its arms and torso spinning.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:38): React before it turns your unit into mincemeat, Yuuya!
ZebulonCrispi (03:42:56): Suma: "I'll praise you for your courage, at least!"
Aero (03:43:24): * Before it hits the water Strahlend rushes over towards the machine and tries to catch it in a princess carry. He even reinforces the arms to make sure that they wouldn't fall off under the weight. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:53): Willis' gentlemanly rescue succeeds.
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:55): Good for you.
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:12): Too bad the kaiju is nearby and almost by accident tries to trample you with its legs.
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:13): React!
Aero (03:44:17): Willis: "Whew just in time."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:44:43): #Willis and Yuuya?
tengusaur (03:44:47): Hetepheres: "There is no time to be relieved yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:55): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:00): Wait, both of them?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:45:03): #Wait, no. Just Yuuya.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:45:10): ;)
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:19): Approved then.
tengusaur (03:45:28): # Willis
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:32): Also approved.
Ishikar3 (03:46:10): *As the Yob dives at Yuuya from behind he's surprised as the two assault cannons on the mount pylons kick back and release a barrage of fire with 36mm rounds and a pair of 120mm rounds. Taking advantage of the lapse Yuuya boosts forward and spins his unit around to add momentum to the rising slash from his blade.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:46:46): *"Whoah, there Kaiju!" Yancy says, as Gypsy Danger grabs one of it's legs and yanks sharply. "No trampling allowed!"+
tengusaur (03:46:56): * Hetepheres quickly gets up and fires her laser at the incoming legs! Now Scaraber is standing with one leg on Strahlend's shoulder, another on its head. Slightly less Heroic Rescue pose there. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:46): The kaiju is stopped dead in its tracks, and takes further damage from Scaraber's ancient egyptian laser beams.
Ginkan SK (03:47:48): (Is the kaiju after eveyrone?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:00): It was after Willis, but not anymore.
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:28): Yuuya manages to damage the Yob - but it's still going!
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:40): It tries to cut you into a million pieces...
tengusaur (03:48:52): Hetepheres: "That was close."
tengusaur (03:49:00): Hetepheres: "...Your rescue is appreciated."
Aero (03:49:03): Willis: "A bit yeah."
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:18): But suddenly a familiar sound is heard - sound of a Gespenst's beam rifle. The Yob falls to the ground, penetrated by the blast.
Aero (03:49:30): Willis winks. "You're very welcome."
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:07): Cicero: "Where are the... shiiit!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:50:09): "T'weren't nothing at all, miss." Yancy replies. "Oh hey! Reinforcements are here!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:17): His unit spins in air again, this time hit by two graviton rifle shots.
Ginkan SK (03:50:18): Raquel "They made it!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXrJgMGMOIo
Ishikar3 (03:50:48): Yuuya: "I hate running with the wrong ammunition for my targets. HEAT would have taken that unit with no issue."
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:57): Ingram: "No. It's not Pentacost's men."
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:31): It's not Ingram either! The units that appear do not look like anything he piloted!
Aero (03:51:31): Willis: "Just in time."
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:41): Ingram: "They are here."
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:59): The unit that shot at Robber Baron flies quickly towards it and the kaiju.
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:06): http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1213862 - it looks like this, only red
Ishikar3 (03:52:16): Yuuya: "They? But it's not that much an issue if they're our enemies enemy
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:33): ???: "Finally caught up with you, old man. Pwhoo, look at the size of that thing!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:52:59): Yancy blinks. "Who's…?"
Overman Zappa (03:53:13): Banjou: "NOthing I've ever seen before..."
Aero (03:53:24): Willis: "Looks nice."
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:24): Ingram: "Apollonius Gavin and his group. They fought hardest against the Lady's Good Men."
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:39): Apollonius: "That's right, the hero's here. Call me Loni!"
Ishikar3 (03:53:40): Stella: "Looks almost like a TSF crossed with a traditional mobile suit."
tengusaur (03:53:51): Hetepheres: "This is General Hetepheres. I am glad to see new allies appeared to help."
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:58): At the same time, two other units engage the Good Men in the city.
Meraxa (03:54:31): Ken: Its a huckebein I think. Same base model as Raquel's... this mean they know the clown?!
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:43): The aforementioned Gespenst (a standard mass produced type it seems) is coasting around the streets quickly, picking off targets of opportunity with precision.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:04): Another unit, similar to the red one, but blue, leaps into the sky and sprays a barrage of beam shots from its dual beam pistols.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:18): Loni: "It's no Huckebein boy, no Huckebein!"
Aero (03:55:20): Willis just whistles at the show of skill. "Impressive."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:55:30): "God bless the Gespenst, man." Yancy says. "Welcome to the party, guys!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:45): Updated enemies (Good Men): Chain Yob x2, Blaze Yob x2, Razor Yob x2, Robber Baron (Cicero) (damaged)
VJockey (03:56:01): "Pretty good on the draw there, but don't get too cocky!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:06): Blue unit pilot: "FightSaber and ShotSaber. There are no equals."
Ginkan SK (03:56:15): Raquel "Good to have you people here let's get these jokers handled!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:17): Cicero: "Tch!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:22): Ken, Raquel, Banjou, go.
VJockey (03:56:24): [Not really the one to talk but hey.]
Aero (03:56:50): Willis: "And modest too."
Aero (03:56:53): = )
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:01): The blue unit, ShotSaber, lands on a rooftop, its guns crossed on its chest.
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:20): Female Gespenst pilot: "... Don't show off Desta. We're on a mission."
Overman Zappa (03:57:58): *Daitarn takes off up into the air, but keeping up above the Kaiju. "Borrowing from the power of the sun. SUN! ATTACK!" The rest on it's head shines before firing down a beam a hot as the sun down upon the Kaiju!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:59): Loni: "Exactly. We got people to save, and maybe a kaiju kill to score, too!"
VJockey (03:58:36): "Sorry Loni, but we're probably going to bag this one before you do!"
VJockey (03:58:48): [A friendly challenge offered.]
VJockey (03:59:01): "But lets see who can score it first just to be sure."
Meraxa (03:59:06): Ken: Get in line old man.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:59:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpVv9GrIBh0
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:58): The kaiju roars, burnt by the light. But what can it do?
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:02): It can JUMP at Daitarn.
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:06): Oh dear. React.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:00:11): #Banjou?
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:15): Approved.
Ginkan SK (04:00:50): Raquel takes a deep breath now as she stares down the remainign Chain Yob's intending to put them out of the fight for good. While she attemps to avoid the cockpit blocks she's going to otherwise attempt to just rip them apart with her brutal punches and kicks.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:01:10): "Damn." Yancy says. "We should have an attack name like that, Raleigh!"
Overman Zappa (04:01:16): *Sun Attack intensifies. Even fi they're almost equal size, Banjou holds his ground. If it's coming for him, it leaves the Kaiju open to everyone else to flank it!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:48): Alright Raquel - it seems those Yobs have the fight mostly beaten out of them. You manage to neutralize... pretty much all the Chain ones.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:03): But the Blaze Yobs keep their distance and try to fry you from afar. React!
Ishikar3 (04:02:26): #Raquel
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:02:32): *"Here, I'll start it, and you finish. Borrowing from the power of the Nuclear Vortex Turbine–!" Gypsy Danger breaks into sprint and leaps, rocket motor carrying it a ways into the air…right at the Kaiju's back!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:35): Approved.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:02:42): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyNuFCG2dVE
Ginkan SK (04:02:57): Raquel moves to evade if she can there's no time to try anything more fancy to deal with the flames+
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:27): The sun-fried kaiju is stopped mid-air, and Gipsy Danger sends it - and itself as well, under the waves!
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:44): Time for underwater grappling with the weakened, but still not giving up toothy monster.
VJockey (04:04:05): *"Flying Jaeger Smash!"
Meraxa (04:04:41): Ken: Toh! *ScarleTiger can jump fairly well too, and does so towards the now submarine creature. They've the outside to be fairly vulnerable to the heat, so...* FACE FLAME! *How well might the insides cook, if Ken can reach and unleash the inferno from ScarleTiger's mouth into it? The steam might make things hard to see admittedly+
Ishikar3 (04:04:46): *Strafing over the corridor of flames VG and Tarisa stop in a hover over to use their wake wash to disrupt the flames and fire their 120mm cannons aiming for the fuel reservoir of the units in an attempt to invoke a catastrophic failure in their foes.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:51): The creature is too busy to counter Ken's attack and gets only grilled further.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:01): One of the Blaze Yobs bursts into fire itself - its liquid fuel tanks prove a fatal flaw in design, and its goggles do nothing!
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:10): Raquel evades the other's burst of fire quite easily.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:20): Hetepheres, Beckett bros, Suma, go.
tengusaur (04:07:55): Hetepheres: "You must realize you have no chance of winning here anymore, Townsend. Order your men to lay down their arms."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:11): Cicero: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:17): Cicero: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:31): Loni: "You really have to make it so difficult, old man?"
tengusaur (04:08:40): Hetepheres: "Very well then. Scarab Power!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:09:11): * Not many enemies left, eh? Suma turns her attention to one of the Razor Yobs!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:09:36): *Yancy reaches out with his hand in the cockpit, and Gypsy Danger grabs the Kaiju by it's head. "It's all yours, Raleigh!" He shouts. &
ZebulonCrispi (04:09:44): * She charges it head-on, claymore raised to clash against its spinning blades - then right as it's fully focused on her, draws the scimtar out of the ground and plants it down through the yob's head from above. +
tengusaur (04:10:03): * a burst of force emanates from Scaraber at the same time as its barrier becomes golden again. The mech gets ready to rush in... and suddenly, it's in the air right next to Robber Baron, swinging all of its swords over its shoulder at once! The purpose of this attack is to push the fat robot away, and send it flying into an empty part of the shore! &
tengusaur (04:10:09): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-aexLJKwME
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:36): The Yob is outmatched one on one, and impaled quite thoroughly. So much for that.
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:11): Cicero: "Not yet! You're not even my... main enemy!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:12:31): Suma: "I doubt you could take any one of us, let alone all of us, oaf."
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:32): Robber Baron tries to counter with a push of invisible but powerful force, yet it's being thrown towards the shore anyway. Continue.
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:12): Desta: "You sound like you already know how much of a failure he is."
tengusaur (04:14:06): * Pursuing her enemy, Hetepheres switches her weapon to the staff, which she grabs with all four arms. She stabs with the weapon from away, which causes a very long laser blade to emit from its head, and pierce right into Robber Baron! +
ZebulonCrispi (04:14:28): Suma: "He was none the more impressive the last time we crossed paths!"
VJockey (04:14:34): *Raleigh grits his teeth as he forced the stiff leg into the kaiju's jaw as he forcefully pried the beast's mouth open. It seems like a moment of total insanity as the Jaeger was willingly getting between those teeth... but... why Raleigh was doing that became apparent as Gipsy's metal knuckles embedded themselves into the softer, weaker flesh that made up the kaiju's interior, seeking to reduce it to a bloodied pulp and kill it through massive amounts of blunt force trauma and organ rupturing!+
tengusaur (04:14:37): Hetepheres: "Few people have the luxury to fall to what they consider their 'main enemy'."
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:06): Cicero: "Ugh... spare me the talk. Those who can do, do!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:15:32): Suma: "Then do!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:35): The Robber Baron makes a slapping move - and the resulting shockwave throws Scaraber off-balance in the last moment.
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:39): Slightly off balance.
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:57): Which means the attack only heavily damages the golden flying unit rather than just downing it outright.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:21): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:26): Something just gives.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:34): Gipsy Danger raises to the surface.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:43): MN-84 does not - too much damage, and it is now lifeless.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:46): Willis, Yuuya, go.
Aero (04:16:59): [Enemy Count?]
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:01): Loni: "It's dead?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:10): Enemies (Good Men): Blaze Yob x1, Razor Yob x1, Robber Baron (Cicero) (heavily damaged)
Meraxa (04:17:15): Ken: ...I think you two can claim that one. Even if I warmed I up for you.
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:16): Loni: "Really? Aww!"
VJockey (04:17:39): [Raleigh paused, giving the Kaiju one more punch for the road.]
VJockey (04:17:44): "Feels plenty dead to me!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:14): Loni: "Well, kaiju are for Jaegers to fight so I'll give you that one."
Ginkan SK (04:18:14): Raquel "Someone beam saber it to be sure..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:18:34): "Looks like it!" Yancy says…giving it one more punch for overnight. "And that's…Number Five!"
tengusaur (04:18:57): Hetepheres: "I do not think Townsend will give up until we beat him to a pulp. Feel free to join in, should you desire."
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:08): Loni: "That's the plan!"
Overman Zappa (04:19:09): Banjou: "Job done down there, boys?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:19:43): "Oh right." Yancy says to himself, and raises his voice "Hey Cicero! Looks like the Kaiju's Dead! So sorry! I didn't mean to interfere with your Lady's plan! Gosh are we clumsy!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:17): Loni: "He's going to say it's all part of the Lady's plan or something anyway."
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:30): Loni: "You know. Blah blah blah, typical cultist rambling, nothing you didn't hear a dozen times already."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:21:35): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHRQvTSFppw
Ishikar3 (04:22:02): *Keeping their initiative VG and Taris continue to focus on the Blaze Yob, VG firing on the front of the unit while Tarisa flanks to the side aiming for what weak points she can find. Yuuya and Stella turn to the Razor Yob, Stella firing with her four assault cannons to drive the Yob back while Yuuya closes to strike to sever one of it's legs to limit it's mobility.+
Aero (04:22:53): * Strahlend is waiting at the shore Cicero was flying right towards. Once it gets near he simply swings Quicksilver at the golden machine. &
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:07): The two Yobs are in full defensive. They both take damage, the Razor one stumbles back with one of its legs hobbled, the Blaze one throws its equipment away and tries to retreat.
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:58): Cicero: "No!" Robber Baron grabs Quicksilver and stops it from stabbing into its golden frame.
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:59): Continue.
Aero (04:26:21): * "Got you." And since it's doing that now Willis changes the shape of Quicksilver. The blade of the sword grows hazy as Willis starts to push the sword against the frame to finish off Cicero. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:46): Cicero: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:47): "NO!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:07): A fraction of a second before Willis's strike could connect against the Robber Baron.
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:23): Suddenly, a telekinetic shockwave throws Quicksilver, Strahlend, and the Scaraber for good measure away.
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:41): You tumble down to the ground from the strength of the last desperate attempt of the Good Man.
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:08): Loni: "That was pretty cool. I'll give you that."
tengusaur (04:28:15): Hetepheres: "Kh... His will to live is strong."
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:19): Loni: "Okay! Now want to see something really fucking cool?"
Aero (04:28:28): Willis: "No kidding..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:28:53): "Like a rat." Yancy growls. "Always managing to scurry away."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:29:00): "At least Kaiju have guts."
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:16): The FightSaber draws a blade. A long sword, almost as long as the mech is tall.
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:24): Also its blade revvs up - it's a chainsaw one.
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:33): Loni: "You're not getting away!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:06): FightSaber lunges at Robber Baron, its sword leaving a burning mark in the air.
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:12): Cicero: "La...dy..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:30): Robber Baron is cut in neat halves and FightSaber lands on the beach behind it, as the fat golden unit explodes.
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:44): Loni: "That's it for you, old man!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:30:54): Suma wants that sword.
Meraxa (04:31:02): Ken: ...s-show off.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:09): The remaining few Yobs try to retreat.
VJockey (04:31:15): "Nice hang time"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:22): Desta: "I don't think so."
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:30): ShotSaber leaps into the air once again, and picks off the Yobs one by one.
Ginkan SK (04:31:38): Raquel "... I think I'm just going to watch this."
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:40): They explode under the barrage of beam pistol blasts.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:45): The retreating ones.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:31:48): "Definitively ten points." Yancy agrees.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:50): And the ones that were immobilized too.
VJockey (04:32:09): "...Hey!"
VJockey (04:32:11): "HEY!"
Ishikar3 (04:32:17): Stella: "Did you need to kill the disabled ones really?"
VJockey (04:32:21): [Okay THAT was crossing the line!]
tengusaur (04:32:30): Scaraber gets back on its feet.
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:35): Desta: "They aren't of any use to us."
Ishikar3 (04:32:38): Stella: "That was overly cruel and termendously wasteful."
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:44): Gespenst pilot: "Desta...!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:50): Loni: "Dude. Not cool."
VJockey (04:33:00): "It doesn't matter if they weren't of you to 'us' or not!"
VJockey (04:33:07): "Those guys were human beings!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:19): Ingram: "It looks like the operation is successful."
VJockey (04:33:24): "They weren't even a damned threat when you went and offed them!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:43): Ingram: "Head back home, Unity Group. Gavin's group has some information for you."
tengusaur (04:33:53): Hetepheres: "...That was unnecessary. They were not a threat anymore, and now we cannot interrogate any of them."
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:00): ShotSaber shrugs and slungs its pistols.
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:10): Loni: "Dammit Desta."
VJockey (04:34:28): [Raleigh's jaw shuts with a click.]
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:35): Loni: "But yeah, we gotta tell you guys some things. Even if... I don't really trust that Ingram dude. There's something about him."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:34:40): Yancy clenches his teeth in silence.
Meraxa (04:35:11): Ken: ...Understandable. But considering this Cicero, it'd be best if someone finally enlightened us.
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:14): Pentacost: "Beckett brothers? Unity Group? Can anyone hear this?"
VJockey (04:35:24): "We're here Marshall"
VJockey (04:35:42): "Kaiju confirmed downed and Horizon Brave is still operational."
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:45): Ingram: "Indeed Marshall."
VJockey (04:35:51): "We're all roughed up... but we're alive."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:35:51): "Reading you loud and clear, Marshall!" Yancy says. "That's number five!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:07): Pentacost: "Major Ingram Plisken? Do you know who was responsible for jamming the communications line?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:12): Ingram: "I was."
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:35): Horizon Brave starts walking back towards Manila.
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:41): Looks like it is time for you to head back home as well.
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:51): Pentacost: "There'd better be a damn good reason for that, Major."
tengusaur (04:36:51): Hetepheres (UG people only): "I will talk with the pilot of that machine later. In the meantime, consider this a victory. We managed to save the city."
Ishikar3 (04:36:54): Yuuya: "What! Why would you jam our line to headquarters
tengusaur (04:37:17): Hetepheres: "I second the general sentiment."
Overman Zappa (04:37:24): Banjou lays back in the cockpit, and has Daitarn face the sun. "Another good day's work everyone."
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:46): Ingram: "Indeed there was. You will find it in my report."
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:50): Loni: "See what I mean?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:37:52): Yancy: "Alright, Major. What the hell?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:38:19): "That stunt could have gotten people killed!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:36): Gespenst pilot: "No."
Ginkan SK (04:38:53): "Just glad we got there in time, to be honest. Also what sort of world spawns things like these Kaiju, seriously!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:05): Gespenst pilot: "We were here. Loni, Desta, me... and the Unity Group. Thus it was impossible to lose."
Ishikar3 (04:39:13): Yuuya (over the local line to the UG pilots he sortied with): I still don't trust Ingram. He played the politics too much when we met and now this. I think an investigation needs to be done.
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:30): "And the jamming made our coming a surprise. Otherwise Cicero Townsend would have escaped again."
VJockey (04:39:52): (to Yuuya) "Got no arguments from me"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:40:44): Yancy grunts. "Okay. That's…reasonable."
Meraxa (04:40:59): Ken: ...Right.
Ishikar3 (04:41:13): VG: "I don't see why the Jamming was needed here. Couldn't the units have run radio silent and used stealth measures?"
Overman Zappa (04:41:14): Banjou: "He, unfortunately, has a point though... it was still a dangerous and blind move.
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:22): Anyway, the day is saved!
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:25): Mission successful!
