Mission 021 - Heaven's Wings

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (03:39:35): No opening because... nothing bad really happens for now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:44): Other than Kanade and Tsubasa being bored, that is.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:58): They mostly have to sit around in a room, watched by a single soldier.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:13): While Ryouko and Genjurou are off somewhere (with your relics), impressing ministers and such.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:17): Let's hope it goes well!
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:35): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:50): ???: "Ah, miss Kaname Chidori? I'm glad we could finally meet!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:10): Kaname (and Sousuke, who is tagging along as bodyguard) meets the person who sent her the invitation.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:14): The person in question...
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:23): http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100513142220/fullmetalpanic/images/8/8f/Tessa_testarossa.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:31): Is a fragile-looking teenage girl.
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:37): Is she really a Captain in Mithril military?
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:48): Tessa: "My name is Teletha Testarossa, but please call me Tessa!"
healingpink (03:42:07): "Huh?" Kaname spins on heel to face the sound of the voice -- only to see a girl that looks even younger than her standing there. THIS was the captain who wanted to meet her?
healingpink (03:43:05): Okay... How exactly is she supposed to introduce herself? And what did this Tessa want with her anyway? She should give an introduction at any rate. "I'm Kaname Chidori, but I'm guessing you already know that."
Dude Spacely (03:43:07): Sousuke instantly snaps a salute. "Ma'm" He doesn't seem shocked at how young his commander officer is.
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:24): Tessa: "Yes, of course. Thank you, at ease sergeant."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:49): Tessa: "We're not in... most pleasant circumstances here today." She seems troubled about something. "But I'm glad we could meet, even if like this."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:54): "As a fellow Whispered."
healingpink (03:44:24): ...AND judging from that weirdo's salute, Tessa definitely was in some position of power. Weird. Maybe she was just one of those twenty-somethings that looked a lot younger than she actually did. But there's no time to deliberate, as Tessa says something that catches Kaname's attention.
healingpink (03:44:27): "Whispered?"
Aero (03:44:38): Kanade lets out a very audible sigh. This was so boring. The only thing to do now was either mess with Tsubasa or the poor soldier. She thinks on it for a moment before going with option B. "Hey isn't there a better place around here that we can kill time at? There should be a pool or a movie theater or a karaoke place right?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:48): Tessa: "Oh, no one told you this yet? You see..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:01): At the same time:
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:24): Soldier: "Umm... there is a recreation facility, but I do not think we have anything like that."
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:42): "Also, I am not sure if I am allowed to let you move around unsupervised..."
Dude Spacely (03:45:47): Sousuke stands at ease, still rigid in his posture. He does seem to react to the word 'Whispered', keeping his focus on his commander. Maybe he would learn about why Ms. Chidori was a target.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:48): He seems pretty new to this.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:53): SUDDENLY!
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:58): Your fun conversations are cut short.
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:19): Due to alert sirens that blare all over the base.
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:34): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
healingpink (03:46:43): Kaname's reaction is immediate: "W-What's going on?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:06): Announcer: "Noise have appeared on the grounds! Everyone, please evacuate to shelters. I repeat..."
griefgathering (03:47:30): Tsubasa was just about to remind her partner that this counts as a mission, but then that happens.
healingpink (03:47:31): Okay, this wasn't good. This was so not good. Kaname's eyes flicker over to Sousuke.
Aero (03:47:52): "Soooo much for messing around time. "
griefgathering (03:48:04): Tsubasa: "The Noise...here?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:06): Tessa: "Ah! This is... really not good!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:13): Tessa: "Please come with me!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:23): She runs off to a nearby room... and almost trips while doing so.
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:27): The Captain is apparently quite clumsy.
Dude Spacely (03:48:55): "...." Sousuke is already drawing his pistol and checking the ammunition, scanning his surroundings. He pulls back the body and lowers it, nodding to Tessa. "I'll cover your exit."
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:55): Soldier: "It's an emergency! Please follow this way to a shelter!"
Aero (03:49:19): Kanade remains pretty calm. "Tsubasa try to contact the Bossman or Ryoko."
healingpink (03:49:23): Was this woman really a captain?! At any rate, Kaname's not about to argue -- not while alarms are going off, anyway. Kaname immediately follows after the girl with the platinum blonde hair, pausing only briefly to look behind her at Sousuke before moving on.
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:28): Ryouko: "Kanade-chan, Tsubasa-chan. Please come to block B300."
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:33): Too late Kanade. She was first.
griefgathering (03:49:39): Tsubasa: "Roger."
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:53): Ryouko: "You can find me there... and your treasures, too. It's part two of our presentation."
Aero (03:50:17): Kanade stretches her arms and just grins. "Well time to head out then."
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:26): The room Tessa run off to is... a holding cell.
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:35): From which she retrieves a teenager. A really unstable looking teenager.
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:54): He looks ready to snap and kill everyone around at a moment's notice. Doesn't do that only because he's handcuffed.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:06): http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130609192322/fullmetalpanic/images/3/34/Takuma.jpg
healingpink (03:51:12): Kaname's brows immediately furrow. "Who's this person?" Her eyes narrow on the unstable-looking teenager.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:39): Tessa: "He is a member of the terrorist group A21. We secured him after..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:45): Teen: "SHUT UP!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:56): Tessa: "!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:20): Takuma: "My comrades will be back for me. They'll pick me up really soon. Just you wait!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:25): "And then... you'll all pay for this!"
healingpink (03:52:54): "Why are we worried about this bozo? Just leave him here! It's not like he matters,anyway." Kaname does not seem particularly enamored with him -- not with how he's acting, anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:13): Tessa: "No, he is really important. I know it does not look like it, but..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:16): Another interruption.
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:22): This time by an explosion, really close to you!
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:27): This was not caused by the Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:30): This was caused by humans.
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:59): It seems his comrades came faster than even Takuma expected.
Dude Spacely (03:54:00): Sousuke eyes narrow on the teen, clutching his gun. It wouldn't do to shoot a prisoner. "That won't be an option." Sousuke replies flatly. He looks to Kaname, almost agreeing with her. However they would need to get intelligence from this prisoner.
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:15): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:47): Commander Antov: "Everyone, please hurry! The base has been attacked not by Noise, but by a terrorist group!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:57): Fortunately the base was very close to Sakihama so the Unity Group is deploying already.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:38): On the outside, you can see that the main building has had a big hole blown into it by explosives.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:43): And there are terrorist Arm Slaves around it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:54): Arm Slaves that try to stay away from Noise that are rampaging around...
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:09): Normal human weapons cannot hurt those after all.
VJockey (03:56:22): [This earned a rather sharp breath from a security guard. Yeah she sees that... what a mess...]
tengusaur (03:56:23): Asagi: "Terrorists? Why would they do this when the Noise are around!"
healingpink (03:56:50): Those had better not be his comrades. "So what now?" Kaname's eyes dart from Tessa to Sousuke. Someone's got to know what's going on, right?
tormterra (03:56:52): Kei: "They probably hope people will focus on evacuating insted."
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:04): Imogen: "Isn't it obvious? They saw an opportunity in the Noise attack, and struck."
Wyverncakes (03:57:08): Flit: "But... it's ridiculous that they're trying to take advantage of it!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:15): (Please wait a minute in the Sousuke and Kaname front0
Wyverncakes (03:57:16): "The Noise are the enemy of everyone!"
Wyverncakes (03:57:21): (Sorry)
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:49): Anyway, total enemies present:
tormterra (03:57:56): Kei: "...Since when has that stopped terrorists?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:12): Terrorists: Rk-92 Savage x12, M6 Bushnell x10
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:36): Noise: Blob and Soldier Noise x a lot (mostly inside buildings), Giant Noise x9
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:41): Lone and terrified security guard, act!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:43): Peolla, go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:49): Rk-92 Savage
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100509040802/fullmetalpanic/images/e/ed/Savage.jpg

M6 Bushnell
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090219070447/fullmetalpanic/images/6/6c/M6.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:54): Blob and Soldier Noise
http://tinyurl.com/q2a7esy

Giant Noise
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120207112118/senkizesshousymphogear/images/0/0e/Senki_Zesshou_Symphogear_-_01_-_Large_31.jpg
Meraxa (03:59:07): Ken: But both of them in the same place...?!
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:36): While dust settles for Kaname and Sousuke...
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:44): The good news is that you have Takuma with you.
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:47): The bad news is...
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:52): Takuma: "Sis, you came!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:18): An unknown woman is at the other side of the room, by the hole in the wall. She's accompanied by several other unknown men. They all hold guns.
tengusaur (04:00:22): Asagi: "Doing something like this when we have aliens and monsters attacking us from all directions..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:25): And they aim them at you, and also at Tessa whom they hold hostage.
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:32): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130609193023/fullmetalpanic/images/9/94/Seina.jpg
VJockey (04:00:38): *Well in this situation there's only one thing to do.... SHOTGUN! A Not-Kai Gespenst Mk-II opens fire on the enemy Arm Slaves as it closed in to attack! A reckless manuever since there were a lot of them... but hey, need to stall for time! And up close is where she excels+
tormterra (04:00:41): Kei: "I'm sure they believe they have their reasons."
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:12): Terrorist: "Seina, our outside perimeter is being attacked!"
healingpink (04:01:18): Kaname slowly raises her hands in surrender, the ends of her lips twitching slightly. "Look, I'm not even involved with this," she says. "I'm just an ordinary civilian, okay?"
VJockey (04:01:21): "Ergh...hello?...Hello is this thing on?! ...Damnit how do you work the radio on this thing...."
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:35): Seina: "That just needs we need to hurry. Give Takuma back to us... or we'll just blow her brains out."
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:43): She aims her pistol at Tessa's head.
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:54): Tessa: "Ghh..." She grits her teeth in determination.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:06): At the same time, one of the Savages falls down from a shotgun blast to the torso!
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:41): Others turn, their pilots surprised - but not surprised enough not to fight back! They grab their Totally Not AK-47s and fire back.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:43): React, Peolla.
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:06): At the same time, Kanade and Tsubasa are having a slight problem.
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:07): Mainly...
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:12): Which way is block B300?
Aero (04:03:31): "This way is blocked also...and this door won't budge."
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:49): ???: "This way, please. Agh..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:52): Fortunately help arrives.
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:59): In the form of the soldier who was watching over you before!
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:19): He's wounded though. His leg is stained red, bleeding uite heavily.
griefgathering (04:04:26): Tsubasa: "Ah!"
Aero (04:04:28): Kanade: ""You're that guy from earlier...
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:59): Soldier: "This way. Please go, I'll cover you." He grabs for his assault rifle.
healingpink (04:05:03): Great. If they're holding this guy prisoner here, it's got to be for a good reason, so it's not like they can just hand him over. Do these people even negotiate with terrorists? Kaname's only 16 -- she's too young to die!
Ginkan SK (04:05:07): Raquel is a bit later in arriving than the otehrs but she's comming Noise are a serious issue, but she's wondered could her Ki do anything to them? Would it /help/. She didn't know at worst she could do crowd control at the very least.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:08): "I am just a grunt... but even I can buy you some time, at least."
VJockey (04:05:17): *She just killed- No... Can't think about that now! Gunfire! Have to react! Just like she was trained... now move in for the kill.... She jerks at her controls hard to evade the gunfire, dropping the shotgun and drawing an assault blade! The teeth on the large chainsaw sword revving up as she moved in to literally carve up the competition and lower the amount of shots being sent around!+
griefgathering (04:06:09): Tsubasa is reluctant to leave someone behind like that but...
griefgathering (04:06:28): Well without the relics, they don't stand a chance.
Aero (04:06:35): That strikes a nerve. "You're not just a grunt. You're a human being also, so please don't talk like you're going to throw away your life."
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:50): Good thing is, those Savages are quite lightly armroed and tiny for a mech, so you cut one apart quite easily.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:20): The bad news: the rest manage to damage the Gespenst quite seriously. Watch out, they are primitive but one more barrage like that and...!
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:36): Seina: "There's no time. Make a decision now!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:47): Soldier: "!!" He is surprised by Kanade's words.
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:12): Asagi, Kei, Flit, move now.
Dude Spacely (04:08:42): Sousuke's eyes narrow as he takes note of the situation. The commander is a hostage and there was no way he was going take them all out. He lowers his gun and takes hold of the prisoner. "The prisoner for your hostage."
Aero (04:09:14): "Fight to survive and don't give up on your life. That's all I can ask for right now."
Wyverncakes (04:09:27): (Enemy Arm Slaves are outside?)
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:29): Soldier: "Y... yes!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:31): (Yeah)
Wyverncakes (04:09:35): (Alright)
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:51): Soldier: "I'll try to survive. So, go now! Save everyone!"
VJockey (04:10:23): "Damnit!Damnit!Damnit!"
Wyverncakes (04:10:45): And coming in and landing in front of the damaged Gespenst is none other than... a Gundam! The AGE-1, with Rolling Lancer in one hand and its shield in another!
Aero (04:10:54): Kanade just gives him a nod before she starts running towards Block D300.
griefgathering (04:10:54): Tsubasa: "You don't need to tell us that. It is a protector's duty after all."
Wyverncakes (04:10:58): However... it's not moving to take hostile action against the terrorists!
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:59): Seina: "Alright. Good... let Takuma go and I'll leave the Italian girl alone once he's halfway to our side."
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:05): What do you do, Sousuke and Kaname?
Aero (04:11:19): Kanade: "...That was selfish of me...wasn't it."
tormterra (04:11:19): * "We need to distract the terrorists from that Gespenst. Ken and Raquel get in there to try to draw their attention away. Use your mobility and the close range to try to evade shots in retaliation." +
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:44): Ken and Raquel, take the Kei-granted action.
Wyverncakes (04:11:49): * Instead... Flit just tries to clear his throat before beginning to speak. "All of you... stop! Monsters are attacking... you don't care about other people in there? You're just going to turn a blind eye to an absolute enemy of people?"+
healingpink (04:12:13): Kaname glances over at Sousuke uncertainly. "Is it really okay for you to turn him over like that?" she says in a quiet voice.
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:25): Several Arm Slaves turn their heads in AGE's direction.
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:53): And then like on command, the Bushnells fire underslung grenade launchers at him! A total of 4..., no, 5 self propelled projectiles. React!
Dude Spacely (04:12:54): "Negative. we go at the same time." Sousuke says flatly, taking note of the terrorists. "On three...." Sousuke hears Kaname and there is a very slight hint of concern in his eyes. "Three..........two...."
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:01): Terrorist: "Who cares about our enemies? This just makes our job easier!"
VJockey (04:13:10): #Flit?
tengusaur (04:13:10): * "You're attacking during a Noise outbreak. How many civilians do you think will die because of you!" Suddenly Blue One drops down from above towards one of the Savages, Asagi slashing at it vertically with his katana! And then he follows up with a wide vertical swing, to cut into the closest other enemy too! +
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:16): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:24): Seina: "Two, one..."
griefgathering (04:13:29): Tsubasa is being silent while she runs, but it's not hard to tell what her answer is, Kanade.
Meraxa (04:14:05): Ken: Roger. *Ken's worried about other things, but he understands there's a time and place for things.* Raquel, head left! *He says, going right, lashing the ground several times with his whip to gain the attention of the enemy, before lashing it towards one Savage's neck, hoping to pull it in for a hard kick!+
Wyverncakes (04:14:10): * They're attacking him. Honest to God, human beings are actually opening fire on him. "You... can't even answer?!?" Shocked and angry, Flit just raises his trusty shield up to guard against the grenades and charges. Screw these guys, he'll just smash through them.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:22): Both prisoners are released... and then, the room shakes from another explosion!
Dude Spacely (04:14:40): Waiting for signs of Tessa being pushed, Sousuke gives the prisoner a sudden shove on one.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:45): "Aaah!" Tessa stumbles and falls. This means she's away from the terrorists though.
VJockey (04:14:50): "Tch! People like you are seriously the worst! You make me sick!" *The Gespenst's arm cocks back as the plasma stakes on its arm flare to life! Moving to flank the Bushnells she attempts to slam into as many as possible with...+
VJockey (04:14:57): "ROAR! JET MAGNUM!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:57): On the other hand, Kaname is really close to Takuma now. And the terrorist tries to run away!
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:01): What do you do about this, Kaname?
Aero (04:15:12): Kanade: "But you know, as long as we're soldiers it won't be unusual for us to die at some point. If the people we meet or save manage to live I'm sure we'll still be remembered. At least that's what I hope they do."
healingpink (04:15:56): Grab him, of course! It's not like she can just let the terrorist run away like that! Not when he was important enough for them to hold this Tessa girl hostage and attack the facility.
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:06): Asagi and Ken take care of three Savages total. However, they counter with melee weapons - mono molecular cutter knives start stabbing in your direction! React, both of you!
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:40): Peolla provides a convenient distraction and falls one Bushnell. Flit tanks the other with minimal damage, and finishes it off too!
Ginkan SK (04:17:45): Raquel is worried as well however she's going to follow KEn off as she moves to try to get the enemuy's attention, her vulcans open fire to get the armslave's attention as she moves in trying to get up close. Her intent is to start ripping off the enemy unit's limbs. They may need to quiz these guys besides they are beneath her really. Even a Genoace pilot gets her respect, terrorists like this. Don't.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:54): Takuma; "Argh! Let go!"
Meraxa (04:18:09): Ken: You think that'll work?! *And Ken puts a combination of his training and the motion capture system to work, aiming to deflect his opponent's strikes, and then spin to strike with an upward kick! See how these guys do without the ground beneath their feet!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:12): He starts punching and scratching, trying to wrestle his way out of Kaname's hold.
Aero (04:18:19): Kanade: "There it is! Block D300."
tengusaur (04:18:42): * Asagi takes advantage of his flight to quickly move around the attackers, using a combination of parrying with his katana and blocking with the energy shield to defend against the attacks! He watches for an opening that might give him an opportunity for a counter-strike. +
VJockey (04:19:03): "Hey! You in the White machine.... you okay?"
Wyverncakes (04:19:27): Flit nods. "Yeah..." But he's looking down at the Bushnell he pretty much trampled over. He... kinda hopes the pilot isn't dead.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:29): Two Savages are suddenly limbless.
healingpink (04:19:33): "No way!" Kaname's hand tightens around Takuma's arm -- just in time for him to start punching and scratching at her. "Ow! Cut it out!"

Still, it's enough to loosen the bluenette's grip on him.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:39): But they counter with head-mounted chainguns! React, Raquel.
Wyverncakes (04:19:41): "AGE-1's meant for a worse enemy than this..."
Dude Spacely (04:20:02): "Ms.Chidori! Get back!" Sousuke raises his pistol, attempting to cover her. This was a bad situation. "....Commander please get to safety, I will hold them off while I retrieve, Ms.Chidori."
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:06): Asagi and Ken manage to deflect most of enemy hits - more so for Asagi, thanks to the shield, and one more Savage falls.
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:27): Seina: "No, I don't think so."
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:46): She throws a flashbang while the rest of the terrorists open fire in the room! Sousuke, react!
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:15): Kanade, Tsubasa:
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:22): You made it.
tengusaur (04:21:36): Asagi: "Are the Noise still immaterial? Where is the Zwei Wing?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:38): "Oh my. Right on time!" Ryouko throws you your relics.
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:52): Minister of Defense: "What are you doing? Shouldn't you evacuate?!"
Meraxa (04:21:56): Ken: That's what I wanna know! They were in there when the attack started.
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:04): Genjurou: "The counterattack begins right now."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:17): Not too far away from B300:
Aero (04:22:22): Kanade: "Let's do it."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:28): The soldier from before ran out of ammo and didn't manage to harm a single noise.
griefgathering (04:22:33): Tsubasa: "Right!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:44): "Is this... the end?" He tries to back off from a swarm of Blob and Soldier noise that go through the corridor.
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:52): But it seems he's done for as they lunge forward!
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:54): Or...
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:57): Is he?

cubey@aol.pl (04:23:00): GO
tormterra (04:23:10): Kei: "The terrorists might have attacked them...Or perhaps the Noise caught them somehow." She's sounding pretty worried at this
Wyverncakes (04:23:32): Flit: "We'll just have to try to get to them in time!
tengusaur (04:23:39): Asagi: "Damn..."
Dude Spacely (04:23:42): Sousuke winces, blinded by the flash bang. Without thinking too deeply into it, he attempts to dive and push Kaname out of the way from where he perceived her last.
Aero (04:24:05): * "Croitzall Ronzell Gungnir zillz." The words ring through the hallway and within seconds several dozens spears fly through the air right at the Noise.
Aero (04:24:06): +
Meraxa (04:24:14): Ken: We need a sign...
Dude Spacely (04:24:28): +
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:18): Kanade:
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:33): Suddenly, the Noise are no more. They disintegrate into carbon and fade away, struck by the spears.
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:39): Soldier: "Eh?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:48): He notices you. His face beams.
Aero (04:26:11): Kanade: "Heh good you kept your word."
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:18): Soldier: "So did you!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:28): But you have something to take care of now, right? The rest of the base.
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:32): Kanade, Tsubasa, act now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:57): Updated enemy counter: Blob Noise x 190, Soldier Noise x 90, Giant Noise x 8
Aero (04:27:06): Kanade: "There's a room where you can make announcements from right?"
healingpink (04:27:22): Sousuke manages to land a hit on the bluenette, sending the girl to the ground. Her grip around Takuma's arm is completely relinquished now.

"Ahh!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:22): Soldier: "Yes, this way!" He waves his arm.
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:41): "And... my name is Tsuyama."
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:07): Terrorist: "So much for a hostage..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:11): Takuma: "Who cares, let's go!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:33): Indeed, once the flashbang's explosion clears, it was obvious that the terrorists only fired covering fire for Takuma and Seina's escape.
Ginkan SK (04:28:40): Raquel smireks as she seems to have handled. "Well that's enough with the trash there. Whose next!?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:41): They didn't grab Kaname at least.
Aero (04:28:58): * Kanade follows along cutting through every and any Noise that she encounters along the path with Gungnir. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:02): (Still need a react from Raquel)
VJockey (04:29:06): "My guess? Those things"
griefgathering (04:29:37): Your partner is a bit behind now, Kanade. You move too fast. But as a bonus, she made sure that the people in the meeting room are ok.
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:42): But it means the on-foot terrorists are escaping! And the mecha front is too busy to probably even notice that...
griefgathering (04:30:34): *She catches up pretty quick, though, and a small group of blue energy swords fly towards the Noise that are too close to either Kanade or Tsuyama!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:07): The two wings slice their way through mook noise no problem! Surely the ministers are shocked by your performance - if they observe it right now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:20): You reach the monitor room.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:32): Do your thing!
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:34): At the same time.
Aero (04:31:35): Kanade: "You know how to work all of this right?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:39): Tessa: "That was close... aah!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:47): She notices some Noise coming through the wall.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:52): They approach in her general direction!
Dude Spacely (04:32:51): Sousuke opens fires on the noise, moving to seize Tessa's hand and pull her to safety. He realizes quickly that it isn't going to do much. "Quickly, we need to escape."
Aero (04:33:52): @Sousuke
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:56): Approved!
Aero (04:34:03): http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/-/4QfAUC?src=5
Dude Spacely (04:34:34): +
Aero (04:34:48): *And as Sousuke opens fire a song suddenly rings out through the entire PA system of the base. Spreading the effect of her Symphogear through the entire area. +
Wyverncakes (04:35:12): Flit: "... Wait... that's them right?"
Meraxa (04:35:14): Ken: ...That voice...!
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:14): Everyone else can hear the song as well!
Wyverncakes (04:35:16): "Then they're okay?"
Meraxa (04:35:24): Ken: Gotta be!
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:26): Some kind of weird wave goes through the whole compound.
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:56): The first few bullets shot by Sousuke have no effect, but after the wave reaches the Noise, they become physical - and the bullets take them down one by one!
Aero (04:36:25): Kanade gives Tsuyama a thumbs up while continuing to sing the song with as much gusto as she could put into it.
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:33): Tessa: "What is this? A song?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:50): Tessa: "Ah, you saved me sergeant! Thank you!" Surely this is not the beginning of a complicated love triangle.
healingpink (04:37:10): If there's anything Kaname has going for her, it's her sheer athleticism. In moments she's back on her feet and ready to run alongside Tessa and Sousuke. "Is it okay to just let him leave like that?"

Not that they just let him leave, or anything, but...

There's no time to talk about it any longer, as the song reverberates throughout the entire compound.

"What is that?!"
tormterra (04:37:19): Kei: "Yes...Prepared to repel the Noise before they cause more harm. There might still be people who haven't managed to evacuate between the Noise and the terrorists."
tengusaur (04:37:31): Asagi: "Yes! We can strike at the Noise now!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:34): Tsuyama: "The song... it's a weapon against Noise? If it touches your heart..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:18): If the terrorists hear the song, they do not comment. In fact, they are pulling back!
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:31): Time to strike in full force.
Wyverncakes (04:38:34): Flit: "Finally!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:40): Ken, Raquel, go.
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:52): Also Sousuke, since Arbalest was so conveniently parked nearby.
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:57): Getting to it is a free action.
Wyverncakes (04:38:59): If they're easing off, then the group won't have to juggle fighting them and Noise at once!
Ginkan SK (04:40:34): (enemy check please?)
cubey@aol.pl (04:40:58): Terrorists: Rk-92 Savage x7 (2 limbless), M6 Bushnell x8
Noise: Blob Noise x 186, Soldier Noise x 88, Giant Noise x 8
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:01): The terrorists are in retreat.
Meraxa (04:41:22): Ken: I'll get these big ones! *He loudly declares, bring the hands of the ScarleTiger to its shoulders...* Scarlet Shotels! *To deploy a weapon he's not used thus far! The shoulder fins pop out a couple of handles before pulling off, adjusting slightly to reveal themselves as bladed weapons! With their superheated edges, he jumps at the nearest Giant Noise, and attempts to slice and dice!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:55): The Noise raises its huge pincer like hands - and tries to use its superior reach to grab and cut you apart before the shotels can reach it Ken. React!
Aero (04:43:21): #Ken?
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:25): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:21): Tessa: "Miss Kaname..." She looks at you seriously, trying to get your attention.
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:31): Somehow, you have a feeling the worst is not over yet.
griefgathering (04:45:03): Tsubasa tries to reach the UG with the communicator now, because Kanade is doing the more action-y work this time. "Sorry for being late...we had trouble getting to our relics."
Dude Spacely (04:45:36): "Commander, please escort Ms. Chidori to safety. I'm going to pressure the terrorists and try to defend the area." Sousuke checks the area before moving toward the Arbalest's location. He quickly gets to the Arm Slave and begins the start up sequence. Within moments the White Arm Slave comes to life, drawing it's scatter gun and moving to join the battle. +
Ginkan SK (04:45:44): Raquel moves to finish off the two savages that she got some of the liumsb on. She turns about to finish them off by going for the legs to render them helpelss and out of the fight hopefully.+
healingpink (04:45:47): And Tessa has it. "What?" Kaname asks, turning wide-eyed to face the other Whispered.

She doesn't wait for an answer. "Don't you think we should get somewhere safer?"
tengusaur (04:46:08): Asagi: "You're not too late. That's what's important!"
tengusaur (04:46:35): Asagi: "Looks like we're getting reinforcements."
Aero (04:46:42): *Suddenly, a torrent of spears burst through a nearby wall and they all fly right towards that Giant Noise. To add to Ken's attack as well as maybe cutting off those arms to protect him+
Wyverncakes (04:46:55): Flit: "It's fine... it's just good to know you're alright."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:04): Tessa: "No location is really safe at the moment" The wind from the huge hole blows behind her for dramatic effect. "But..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:18): Tessa: "You see, the reason why this young man we captured was so important is..."
tormterra (04:47:23): Kei: "Right. We can still destroy the Noise, so don't worry."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:46): Tessa: "He is able to use Lambda Driver."
VJockey (04:48:12): "I thought you guys already were the reinforcements!"
tengusaur (04:48:54): Asagi: "More reinforcements then."
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:00): The scatter gun's giant shotgun-like rounds obliterate a whole group of human-sized Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:04): They had no chance.
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:19): But another group turns into small spear-like projectiles and throw themselves at the Arbalest!
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:23): Sousuke, react (when you come back).
griefgathering (04:49:29): #Sousuke?
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:37): Approved.
healingpink (04:50:25): "What? Are you serious?" This wasn't good; Kaname saw firsthand what the Lambda Driver could do -- and that kind of technology just wasn't safe in terrorist hands. "How does he know that?"

He didn't have powers like her, did he?
Meraxa (04:50:39): Ken: Wuooooh! *Well if its trying to hit him, he can use that chance to try and hit it with a parry instead! A point of contact either way!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:41): Tessa: "Not only that, but his condition - and his psychological problems as well, are both caused by a special drug he has traces of taking. Which means the A21 group makes him able to use the Driver on purpose."
tormterra (04:50:42): Kei: "Does it matter who's reinforcements and who were the original force?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:51): Tessa: "So more likely then not, they have a working unit of their own."
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:20): Those two Savages are out, Raquel.
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:34): But the rest try to get you in some crossfire hell as they retreat back further. React to the swarm of bullets!
griefgathering (04:51:59): *Her own katana isn't enough to do what she has planned, so Tsubasa adds to that by wielding one of those energy swords she can summon. She leaps through the air, two blades slashing wildly, trying to cut down as many of the Noise-projectiles heading towards the Arbalest as possible!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:29): Ken finds the giant Noise's attack easy to parry - because it's suddenly penetrated by an avalanche of spears. It's severly wounded now, and the spears still stick out of it.
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:45): Peolla, Asagi and Kei, go.
healingpink (04:52:54): Kaname presses her lips together pensively. "We can't just let him get away, then! But..."

What can she do? It's not like there's anything she can do. Is there...?
Meraxa (04:53:41): Ken: You know, I thought idols were supposed to be on time for the show.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:59): Tessa: "For now, we need to reach a comm room of some kind. Unity Group must know that the terrorists can't get away!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:13): Tessa: "I know the Noise are horrible as well but this can be even more dangerous if we leave it unchecked!"
tormterra (04:54:16): (Do we have communications with Kanade and Tsubasa now or was it only at the communications room of the base?)
tengusaur (04:54:24): Asagi: "I'll see if some people are still in danger!" He does as he says, taking off and flying over the area, close to the ground, to survey it! But that's not the only thing he does - as he flies over the swarm of the Noise, he bombards the small ones from above with rounds from Blue One's heavy machinegun. +
healingpink (04:54:26): "Right!" Kaname nods. "Lead the way!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:29): (Yeah, you can communicate with them)
Aero (04:55:09): Kanade: "Sorry we took so long, we ran into a bit of trouble in there."
VJockey (04:55:13): "Alright... one more time!... JET! MAGNUM!" *Peola sends her Gespenst into a leap before letting the thrusters fire at maximum power, swinging the arcing arm-mounted weapons forward into one of the giant noise!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:24): Asagi sees a small group of base's guards, who manage to push back the Noise thanks to your bombardment.
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:35): But don't get distracted, as one of the big ones swings its mighty limbs at you from above!
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:37): React.
Meraxa (04:56:07): Kanade: And the others? Did you see where Kaname went?
tormterra (04:56:20): * "Tsubasa, Kanade, you know more about the Noise than the rest of us. Can you clear out the smaller swarms closest to us so movement won't be restricted while dealing with the big ones?" +
Wyverncakes (04:56:45): # Asagi
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:48): Approved.
Wyverncakes (04:56:57): Flit: "Asagi, watch out!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:58): Tsubasa and Kanade, take your actions.
Wyverncakes (04:57:15): Funny thing though...
tengusaur (04:57:21): * Asagi: "Get to safety, I cleared the wa-ah!" He calls out to the guards, but then suddenly he's attacked! Blue One turns around, a spear suddenly in its hands, and stabs the strong blade with full force at the incoming giant arm! +
Wyverncakes (04:57:51): Even as Flit sees the Noise, and is crying out to Asagi to dodge and mentally going through the process of bringing his DODS Rifle to bear on the Noise...
Wyverncakes (04:58:05): * ... Suddenly he realizes he realizes he's already firing at the monster.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:07): (The actions granted by Kei, I mean)
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:21): Peolla, do you attack the damaged Noise or a fresh one?
VJockey (04:59:02): (Lets go with Fresh)
griefgathering (04:59:05): Tsubasa: (to Kei) "Understood."
Aero (04:59:14): * "Got it!" Kanade lands and grips Gungnir with both of her arms before focusing. "Tsubasa, Disaster Blast." She just gives that tiny note to her partner before winding the spear back and swinging with all her might to release a huge wave of energy. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:18): Asagi's shield is broken by impact. You're quickly falling to the ground!
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:31): And then, suddenly the momentum stops and you can regain mid air balance.
Dude Spacely (04:59:37): The Arbalest continues to fire, even as projectiles race toward it. The swift machine backs up, firing to shoot down as many as possible from the Noise that manages to escape Tsubasa's aid. The Arm Slave requickly reloads before firing a few more rounds to thin out its path forward.
Dude Spacely (04:59:40): +
Ginkan SK (04:59:40): Raquel attemps to deflect and block the bullets with her suit's arms. There's a method to her madness however she's charged the arms with KI which could reduce the amount of damage she's taking from them+
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:47): As the Noise is shot by Flit and, adding that to your stab, it's enough to disintegrate it.
Wyverncakes (04:59:55): Flit: "... I... shot it?"
Wyverncakes (05:00:03): Not like he wasn't PLANNING on that.
Wyverncakes (05:00:10): But... he couldn't even remember pulling the trigger.
tengusaur (05:00:24): Asagi: "...Yeah. And looks like I'd be in trouble if you didn't."
griefgathering (05:00:42): *Tsubasa complies by joining her partner in a combined attack, she takes up a stance with her sword and swings, releasing a second blast of energy that fuses with Kanade's!+
Wyverncakes (05:00:47): Flit: "Right...!"
tengusaur (05:00:49): Well, he still got bruised a bit by the impact.
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:00): Shooting shells into melee is dangerous, but somehow you manage to avoid friendly fire and clear a path, Sousuke!
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:32): Peolla, your plasma fist is met with a giant pincer-hand. A clash of strength!
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:33): React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:01): The Amazon takes some damage - relatively little, but the real thing is that you're pushed on the defensive, Raquel.
tengusaur (05:02:02): Asagi: "That will leave a bruise later... Anyway, I got a group of guards to safety. That seems to be all of them!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:04): The combined Tsubasa and Kanade attack rages through the base. Any noise hit is instantly obliterated - which means most of the human sized ones are gone!
tormterra (05:03:10): Kei: "So evacuation is complete? Understood. We need to keep the Noise contained so it doesn't spill over into areas not evacuated yet."
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:38): Kaname somehow managed to find her way to something resembling a comm room.
Aero (05:03:46): Kanade: "We've cleared out all detected Noise in the base."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:06): Tessa followed after you but she's lagging behind. Not only clumsy, but pretty bad stamina as well it seems.
Aero (05:04:09): Kanade: "Most of the civilians made it to the emergency shelters so we should be fine."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:21): Anyway this means you can tell something to the rest and they can listen!
Meraxa (05:04:31): Ken: Right... guess that means they're safe...
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:34): Flit, Kanade, Tsubasa, go.
tengusaur (05:04:44): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:57): Terrorists: Rk-92 Savage x5, M6 Bushnell x8
Noise: Blob Noise x 70, Soldier Noise x 38, Giant Noise x 7 (1 severely damaged)
healingpink (05:06:42): Time waits for no one -- and neither does Kaname Chidori, not when there's information that needs to be conveyed about terrorists on the loose!

Kaname is not familiar with the comm system in the least, but it doesn't stop her from jamming random buttons until sound starts coming over the intercomms.

"Sousuke!" Kaname shouts out, because she has no idea who else is out there listening. "You need to capture that terrorist-boy at all costs! He can use the Lambda Driver... We can't let him get away! Ignore everything in front of you and chase after him!"

That goes for everyone!
Wyverncakes (05:06:54): * Much more willing and comfortable with fighting the Noise than terrorists, Flit has the AGE-1 begin to move parallel to the base, opening fire at one of the Giant Noise over and over again to bring it down. "Get... back-"
Wyverncakes (05:06:56): ^+
Wyverncakes (05:07:11): ... But only then does he hear what Kaname's warning.
Wyverncakes (05:07:26): "Even the Noise?"
Meraxa (05:07:42): Ken: ...Kaname what are you doing on this frequency?!
griefgathering (05:08:14): Tsubasa: "I'd like to know that as well."
VJockey (05:08:24): *Peola snarls and urges her Gespenst forward, forcing it to take a step towards the noise and push the struggling arm harder - sweat beading on her brow as she fights against the pressure on her controls! Then she fires off the plasma stakes into the massive arm she's fighting against... she didn't exactly trigger them did she?+
VJockey (05:08:31): *trigger them before
Aero (05:08:46): Kanade: "Kei can you spot him on your sensors?"
tengusaur (05:08:51): Asagi: "I think what she says is the more important matter..."
Aero (05:09:09): They were kind of the right size for stopping just a person running away.
tengusaur (05:09:20): Asagi: "Should we split between a pursuit group and a Noise cleanup group?"
tengusaur (05:09:35): Asagi: "We can't really let them run rampant."
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:46): The Gespenst's arm creaks... and breaks!
tormterra (05:10:03): Kei: "I'll try to see if I can track him. It might take a moment...Kanade, Tsubasa, Flit...Can you hold off the Noise. The rest of you prepare to give pursuit once I find something."
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:12): But as the broken parts, still hot with plasma, cut into the Noise's limb, it turns black. And so does the main body!
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:15): That's one down for the count!
VJockey (05:10:41): [One arm for one huge enemy... well that's sort of a fair trade.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:56): The Giant Noise is staggered by AGE's barrage of fire, but it starts swatting around to bring the Gundam down like an annoying fly.
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:58): React, Flit.
Aero (05:10:59): Kanade: "Alright, might as well go all out then."
VJockey (05:11:07): [The Gespenst still has another arm and a sword, so its all good.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:30): Kei detects a small group of people running on foot between the escaping Bushnells.
Meraxa (05:11:37): Ken: Suppose I've got the speed for it...
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:38): Is the teenage terrorist among them?
tengusaur (05:11:38): # Flit
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:39): Probably yes.
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:40): Approved.
Wyverncakes (05:12:21): * Well, no time to get distracted with the dangers one human terrorist presents! Flit tries to keep his shield up for protection against the Noise while switching to the Rolling Lancer and slashing down at the attacking limb!+
Dude Spacely (05:12:29): Sousuke hears Kaname call out for him. "A Lambda Driver? Affirmative. It is not a problem." The White Arm Slave begins to move quickly toward the path of the terrorists, trying to avoid combat with the noise.
tormterra (05:12:59): Kei: "Think I found him. He's among the Bushnells. Pursuit group, move to cut them off and prevent them from reaching his unit."
Ginkan SK (05:13:10): Raquel is forced back and isn't doing so well here, she's not too badly hurt. Still she's not qwuite on the attack anymore so she's got to think about what she's doing next, she's going to have to test her ki theroy on the noise pretty darn soon too.
tengusaur (05:13:22): * "Oh no you don't!" Suddenly Asagi lands on the back of the giant Noise, piercing right into its body with Blue One's spear to distract it from striking at Flit! +
Dude Spacely (05:13:38): He quickly radios the other members of Unity. "Attention all friendly units, the terrorists who attacked the base are in possession of a prisoner who can use a super weapon, I need assistance in apprehending him before he gets away." The Arbalest moves quickly. +
Aero (05:13:50): * Kanade leaps into the air, knowing how focused she was in combat she knew she could count on her partner to follow up now even without a signal. Hundreds of spears suddenly lined up around her. "Starlight!" & (Tsubasa will finish)+
tengusaur (05:14:08): Asagi: "As soon as I'm done here, I'm moving in to help you capture him! You okay Flit?"
Wyverncakes (05:14:24): Flit: "... Managing...!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:14:34): Asagi distracts the Noise long enough for Flit to sever the offending limb. That was really close though.
Meraxa (05:14:39): Ken: We know that! Keep up Mr bodyguard! Drive Mode! *Ken has the ScarleTiger shift into its vehicle form. If there's anything built for pursuit, its this!*
griefgathering (05:15:27): Tsubasa: *And around those spears, blue swords will form. "...Fall!" Like a wall, the energy weapons descend simultaneously on the enemies!+
healingpink (05:15:30): "I'm telling you guys what you need to do, so go do it and don't argue or ask any questions, okay?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:17): A large area bombardment wipes out all but three of the large Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:26): Well, two of them were severely wounded already, but still.
tormterra (05:16:28): Kei: "I've given them directions, but we need to safely disengage from the Noise."
Meraxa (05:16:28): Ken: We are totally talking about evacuation priorities later...! *Ken yells as he drifts off*
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:32): The small ones had no chance.
Ginkan SK (05:16:46): (Time to act again?)
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:50): The three remaining ones seem unfocused and... confused somehow? They won't be a problem.
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:58): Ken, Raquel, Sousuke!
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:00): Go now!
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:06): Do something about the escaping terrorist!
tengusaur (05:17:58): Asagi joins the pursuit as ordered (and doesn't do much more yet because not his action).
griefgathering (05:18:50): Tsubasa: "We should have the Noise handled. Please go on!"
Aero (05:19:06): Kanade: "This is our job after all so don't worry about them."
Meraxa (05:19:33): Ken's got a regular cruising speed of several hundred miles an hour like this. Yeah, they're not getting away! Even if the only thing Ken can really do for combat is an old school hit and run! Just need to find them first!+
Wyverncakes (05:19:38): Flit: "... ALright!"
Wyverncakes (05:20:15): The AGE-1 goes to follow after Asagi. Flit doesn't like the idea of having to seriously fight other humans... but if this person becomes an enemy even worse than the Noise then he can't be a savior unless he makes sure they're stopped!
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:32): Well Ken, while you easily catch up to the on foot terrorists, the problem is that the Arm Slave ones see you coming - and fire with everything they have! Assault rifles, RPGs, react!
tengusaur (05:20:35): (no Flit no, you're supposed to fight the Noise!)
Wyverncakes (05:20:43): (Wait, derp)
Aero (05:20:53): (It's cool, Symphogears are confident.)
Meraxa (05:21:29): Ken is going to have to call upon all the training he's ever had for dodging whilst driving...! ...Which considering he's 17, means video games. But he'll try!+
Dude Spacely (05:21:41): Sousuke keeps moving toward his goal, coming into point blank range with the Noise and pulling the trigger of his Scatter gun repeatedly. If this doesn't finish it off, he uses his momentum to literally body check the Noise out of his way. +
VJockey (05:22:07): [Peola's kind of torn here. On one hand, its her job to protect this place... on the other...]
VJockey (05:22:17): "Damnit... what would he do...?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:29): The Giant Noise takes a shot after shot to the body. But as you body check it... well, it takes more damage. But it also starts to shift through Arbalest's solid matter!
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:46): At this rate it will reach the cockpit, and people who touch the Noise are... well, don't let that happen. React!
healingpink (05:23:50): While all this is going on, Kaname darts back into the hallway to check in on Tessa's progress. She's still coming, isn't she?
Dude Spacely (05:24:42): Sousuke realizes he is dealing with a ghost monster....which could probably cause his problems by resolidifying or things he doesn't understand. He uses the Arbalest's legs to leap backwards from the noise and avoid ghost death. +
Aero (05:25:15): @Sousuke?
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:32): It was a react so sorry, nixing that
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:16): Okay Ken.
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:38): The good news is, you manage to avoid any serious damage while your reckless driving causes the terrorists (arm slaves and people) to scatter around.
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:40): The bad news...
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:10): You're pretty sure the escapee is not among them.
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:16): But then, where is he?
Meraxa (05:27:31): Ken: ...Huh? He's not here...?!
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:35): Seina: "I just end up using you in the end. Sorry, Takuma."
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:51): Takuma: "It's alright, sis. Hnngh... I can do it. I'll destroy everything for you!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:07): Something huge raises from a nearby building, reducing it to rubble in seconds.
Meraxa (05:28:17): Ken: ...Oh, joy.
VJockey (05:28:22): "...That's not good..."
tengusaur (05:28:40): Asagi: "What is this?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:01): A giant red robot, at least 40 meters tall. Its eyes flash as it stops you, and it moves forward, ready to crush you into paste.
griefgathering (05:29:04): Tsubasa: "What's happening?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:07): *spots you
Wyverncakes (05:29:12): Flit: "That's... that's not like the last thing we saw with a Lambda Driver!"
Meraxa (05:29:22): Ken: Thats... a super...!
Aero (05:29:24): Kanade: "Is it a Super Robot?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:27): At its feet, a smaller but modern-looking Arm Slave walks from the rubble, holding an assault rifle.
tormterra (05:29:47): Kei: "...The one he was drugged to pilot. We'll need to find a way to fight it, somehow."
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:07): New enemies: Plan-1051 Behemoth (Takuma), Zy-98 Shadow (Seina)
tengusaur (05:30:12): Asagi: "Can't we just pierce through its shields?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:19): Behemoth: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100509054835/fullmetalpanic/images/6/62/Profile_behemoth.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:25): Shadow: http://fullmetalpanic.wikia.com/wiki/File:Profile_shadow.jpg
Aero (05:30:25): Kanade: "That sounds right up my alley."
tengusaur (05:30:35): Asagi: "Lambda Driver is pretty much a shield, isn't it?" A bit uninformed there.
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:38): Peolla, Asagi, Kei, go.
tormterra (05:30:45): Kei: "It's enormous and has a lambda driver. Who knows what it can do?"
tengusaur (05:30:46): (enemy list?)
VJockey (05:30:49): "All else fails..."
VJockey (05:30:55): "Hit it until it breaks!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:04): Terrorists: Rk-92 Savage x5, M6 Bushnell x8, Plan-1051 Behemoth (Takuma), Zy-98 Shadow (Seina)
Noise: Giant Noise x 3 (1 damaged)
Aero (05:31:08): Kanade: "Only one way to find out..."
Meraxa (05:31:13): Ken: Sounds like a plan to me!
tormterra (05:31:24): * "Anyway, Flit, try to shoot it with the DODS gun to see what kind of defensive capabilities it has. Everyone else keep your distance and prepare to evade should it attack."
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:37): Kaname found Tessa. She was actually helped... or maybe helping, a wounded soldier whom you don't recognize.
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:45): Take your action Flit.
Meraxa (05:31:49): Ken shifts form again, sounding a bit... eager, actually.
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:53): Tessa: "Oh no..." She sees the Behemoth rising.
Wyverncakes (05:31:54): Flit: "Right..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:02): Tsuyama: "What... is that thing?"
VJockey (05:32:03): "We'll start from the legs up and work our way from there!"
healingpink (05:32:19): Kaname's eyes dart to the soldier. "H-hey, is everything okay?" But before she can ask anything more, she watches as Tessa looks up -- and Kaname's eyes follow.
healingpink (05:32:19): This wasn't good.
Wyverncakes (05:32:22): If there was anything that could test how sturdy the Behemoth would be from a range, the DODS Rifle was certainly a good way to go!
Dude Spacely (05:32:46): Sousuke: "It is a little more complicated than that...."
Aero (05:33:06): Kanade: "Well...could you give us the short version?"
griefgathering (05:33:21): Tsubasa isn't very used to fighting big things that aren't Noise, so she's going to follow Kei's instructions here.
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:26): Seina: "Today we all will have our vengeance. On the world that hurt us so much."
Wyverncakes (05:33:37): * "Alright, everyone be careful...!" He targets the Behemoth's knee and then fires, letting out the drilling blast... one that'd yet to let him down!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:41): The DODS rifle shot spins, ready to penetrate through anything.
Aero (05:33:46): (Can we hear that?)
Dude Spacely (05:33:47): Sousuke: "....I'm not even sure if I understand but it is something that allows the pilot to transmit his thoughts into reality?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:50): Takuma: "No, no, no, no, no!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:52): (Yes)
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:57): Takuma: "Everything will BURN!"
Dude Spacely (05:34:05): Sousuke: "Thats to my understanding...."
Aero (05:34:06): Kanade: "Fighting for revenge huh."
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:13): The Lambda Driver creates a powerful force field that deflects the DODS Rifle blast!
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:15): There is no damage.
Aero (05:34:16): Kanade: "That's good enough I guess."
Wyverncakes (05:34:19): And...
Wyverncakes (05:34:23): Flit: "It completely..."
Meraxa (05:34:35): Ken: Well, definitely a Lambda Driver.
VJockey (05:34:59): "Then we'll just have to reject that reality of his and slam his head into ours. Up close and personal it is then!"
Wyverncakes (05:35:04): He knew not to underestimate the Behemoth, but the fact that the Rifle shot was stopped so easily...
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:20): By the way.
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:22): Kanade and Tsubasa?
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:27): Something is bubbling under your feet.
tengusaur (05:35:30): * Asagi: "You're having your vengeance on innocent people!" He circles around the behemoth, trying to use the same tactic as before - find what looks like the weakest point on its back, then drop down and stab right at it with the spear, with both hands! +
VJockey (05:35:59): *Peola sends in her Gespenst to menace at the Behemoth's legs! Seeking to jam the assault blade's teeth into one of the knee joints and dig its way through!+
Ginkan SK (05:36:11): (I missed my turn to act didn't I?)
tormterra (05:36:17): Kei: "Try to attack from different angles at once, he might not be able to focus on all of them to bring the shield up."
Aero (05:36:18): Kanade: "Huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:36:25): The Behemoth looks up at Asagi's Blue One. Its fires chainguns hidden inside its head - four of them, each as strong as a regular mobile suit main weapon!
Wyverncakes (05:36:28): Still...
cubey@aol.pl (05:36:30): React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:36:34): (Yes, but you can go now)
griefgathering (05:37:03): Tsubasa is a bit too focused on the Behemoth right now.
Wyverncakes (05:37:11): Flit: "How will doing this make anything better for anyone?" Gritting his teeth, Flit brings out the Beam Rolling Lancer! "Making the world burn will just make more people like you!"
Aero (05:37:25): Kanade: "Tsubasa look out!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:37:30): The leg kicks in the Gespent's direction. You can already see the Lambda Driver field forming a huge distortion - your attack won't do anything, and if you get kicked by this... well, don't get kicked Peolla. React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:37:57): Seina: "Shut up."
cubey@aol.pl (05:38:09): Seina: "Spoiled brats, you have no idea what I have been through."
Wyverncakes (05:38:26): Flit: "I've had my home destroyed by enemies of all of humanity!"
Wyverncakes (05:38:29): Oh boy.
Wyverncakes (05:38:37): Don't go playing that crap on Flit, Seina.
VJockey (05:38:41): *Peola lets out a soft mutter before moving to swing around the incoming leg!+
tormterra (05:38:50): Kei: "...And you don't know what we have been through either."
Wyverncakes (05:38:55): "Two colonies... so many people dead or displaced...!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:20): Kanade and Tsubasa are forced to quickly evacuate as a big noise emerges (not hastily enough to be an immediate threat fortunately) from under the base floor.
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:39): It's made up entirely of some kind of green cancerous mass.
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:43): It keeps moving and growing.
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:48): https://i.imgur.com/OIzlI1p.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:58): But doesn't actively try to attack anyone... for now.
tengusaur (05:40:02): * "Gah!" Asagi swerves and sends Blue One into a spinning charge, trying to zoom between the incoming hails of gunfire and avoid as much of this barrage as he can (and tank the rest with the shield) while still hoping for the attack to connect! Though he probably won't hit at the point where he was aiming anymore...+
Aero (05:40:10): Kanade: "This keeps getting better and better..."
tormterra (05:40:39): Kei: "Any knowledge on Noise like that? When can we expect it to attack?"
Aero (05:40:52): Kanade: "I've never seen anything like it before."
Ginkan SK (05:40:55): Raquel stares down the Behemoth for a moment, she looks at the huge thing and ponders. How to bring a foe that large down, it's armored well many joints she could go after are very well protected. She breathes deeply as she throws herself at it her machine is charge and she attempts to launch the energy dragons she's prone to use in at the apex of her jump. Hopefully she can over load it's defence!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:22): Blue One's stab hits a main armor plate, so needless to say there is only a scratch. And the shots damaged you rather seriously.
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:48): Peola barely manages a direct hit! But even the Lambda Driver field itself has enough force to knock the Gespenst down on its ass.
tengusaur (05:42:15): Asagi: "What kind of armor and firepower is this...? Even normal super robots are not this strong."
tengusaur (05:42:22): Asagi: "And what the hell is that green thing?"
griefgathering (05:42:27): Tsubasa: "A new type of Noise..." Well, she can only hope there won't be any more, because this, piled up with the other enemy, doesn't make the situation any less worse.
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:32): As Raquel flings herself (or rather her unit) up, the Behemoth fires another chaingun barrage at her!
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:33): React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:35): Also
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:42): Several stray chaingun bullets hit the green noise.
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:55): Some of its parts fall off to the ground! That was easy!
Aero (05:42:55): Kanade: "Even if it doesn't attack we need to careful."
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:59): Except...
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:06): The parts do not turn black and carbonate.
Meraxa (05:43:11): #Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:15): They keep wriggling and growing into more of the same noise!
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:17): Approved.
Aero (05:43:21): Kanade: "!"
Dude Spacely (05:43:31): Sousuke watches the Behemoth rise and the pilot start to rant. He begins to take note of the eradic state of the pilot, knowing he can out smart the pilot if he manages to break his composure. He begins to open fire with his Scattershot rifle and the machine guns from his head unit, aiming for the legs of the unit to hopefully knock it over.+
griefgathering (05:43:34): Tsubasa: "It's replicating itself..?"
tengusaur (05:43:37): Asagi: "It's multiplying..."
Meraxa (05:43:52): Ken: Watch yourself! *Ken lashes out with the ScarleTiger's whip, hoping to pull the Amazon out of the enemy's line of fire!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:53): (You already took your action Sousuke)
tormterra (05:44:14): Kei: "Keep the giant armslave from facing the Noise. Keep it occupied, but prioritize defense. I'll try to see if my sensors can reveal any weak points."
Dude Spacely (05:44:20): (Ack sorry...I'll hold that)
VJockey (05:44:22): "Ngh..."
VJockey (05:44:28): "Damn thing's tough..."
Aero (05:44:29): Kanade: "This is bad..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:44:32): Tessa: "Nothing seems to be working. Its Lambda Driver is incredibly powerful."
Aero (05:44:39): Kanade: "On both ends..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:44:59): Tessa: "No... it's not the Lambda Driver itself. It's the pilot. They must have injected him with a very strong dose!"
healingpink (05:45:14): "But if Sousuke uses his Lambda Driver... he should be able to defeat it, right?" Kaname doesn't sound entirely certain. Then: "A dose? A dose of what?"
Aero (05:45:19): Kanade: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:45:28): Tessa: "Drugs that allow him to pilot that... thing."
Aero (05:45:38): Kanade: "So he's the same as me."
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:07): Flit, Kanade, Tsubasa, go.
tormterra (05:46:41): Kei: "...What do you mean, Kanade?"
griefgathering (05:47:26): Hearing all that, Tsubasa just looks worriedly at her partner for a moment.
tengusaur (05:47:37): Asagi: "I'll... tell you later Kei."
Wyverncakes (05:48:23): * Left without much to work with and facing an enemy he has no idea how to even begin harming... Flit begins to reconsider the melee route with the Lancer. No... if he can't attack the machine itself... "This... feels like something Largan might try!" And he begins to open fire not at the Behemoth itself... but around its feet! Big and heavy things have to follow the laws of gravity too, after all!+
Aero (05:48:27): Kanade: "I'm in the same position he is....I have to take a drug to even activate my Symphogear."
Aero (05:49:12): Kanade: "Without it I wouldn't able to fight."
tormterra (05:49:32): (Do we have Tessa's identity? Or is she just a mysterious voice over the radio for those not Sousuke and Kaname?)
cubey@aol.pl (05:49:41): The Behemoth walks forward... scarily quickly, even. That thing doesn't care much for physics!
cubey@aol.pl (05:49:50): (You don't really know who she is)
Ginkan SK (05:49:52): Raquel attemps to evade but is still going to try to finish her attack upon the machine. It seems her plan to distract it didn't work quite right.+
griefgathering (05:50:02): Tsubasa: "Kanade..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:50:02): But even if so, it stumbles when its feet fall into a hole.
tormterra (05:50:16): Kei: "I see. I didn't know that." She sounds a bit worried, but is quickly distracted by the gravity of the situation. "And you, on the radio, do you know anything about the drugs? How long do they last?"
griefgathering (05:50:23): But no, Tsubasa knows now's not the time for this.
cubey@aol.pl (05:50:33): Seina: "Oh no you don't!" While Flit is busy digging holes, the Shadow jumps at AGE, a long knife held in hand and expertely swung to seperate its bodyparts. React.
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:14): Tsuyama: "It's different."
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:26): Tsuyama: "Zwei Wing's power exists to save lives, not to destroy!"
Aero (05:51:38): Kanade tries to put on a strong face. "You're right, unlike him I'm doing it because there are people I want to protect."
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:24): Tessa: "Long enough that it can destroy a large part of this city... but if you can disrupt the pilot's concentration or snap him out of his mindset, his control over the Lambda Driver should weaken."
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:28): Tessa: "... I think."
tengusaur (05:52:59): Asagi: "So our best shot is a shot in the dark..."
healingpink (05:53:04): Kaname: "You THINK?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:08): Raquel'a Amazon gets body-checked by a huge Arm Slave and falls to the ground. This is bad. This is really bad!
Aero (05:53:22): With that knowledge Kanade amplifies the communicator on her neck.: "What that pilot is doing right now is mindless and pointless. The act of a sad person who's blinded by revenge."
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:22): You can't take another hit like this!
VJockey (05:53:27): "Hey... a chance is better than nothing right...?"
tormterra (05:53:29): Kei: "Yeah...I'll keep scans, but if anybody have any good ideas on how to rattle him, use them."
Aero (05:53:53): Kanade: "He's nothing more than an immature child."
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:55): Tessa: "I'm sorry, that's the best I have!"
Meraxa (05:54:03): Ken: ...I can't believe I'm going to try this, but... hey! You in the big suit!
Wyverncakes (05:54:26): * And with the Shadow moving to attack, Flit jukes back before charging the machine with his shield! No time to switch over to a beam dagger! "You... have a lot of nerve! What gives you the right to do all this... do this to a comrade!"+
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:00): Seina: "Takuma does this out of his own volition!" She grits her teeth as her Shadow is shield-slammed - but her knife twists its way around the shield and stabs AGE's arm.
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:03): "He'd do anything for me!"
Aero (05:56:25): Kanade: "And what are you gaining from this mindless violence?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:48): Seina: "The same thing as everyone in A21."
tengusaur (05:56:53): Asagi: "Or does he only think he does? And in reality you're just using him?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:57:09): Seina: "Vengeance! We lost everything, so the last thing we can have is to enact vengeance on the rest of the world!"
Wyverncakes (05:57:55): Flit: "And then nobody has anything and then we're all dead!"
tengusaur (05:57:55): Asagi: "...Flit. Tell her."
Aero (05:58:05): Kanade: "Do you think that you're the only ones that lost everything? Do you honestly think that justifies what you're doing?."
Wyverncakes (05:58:06): "Which is exactly what all our enemies want from us!"
tormterra (05:58:24): Kei: "You're not making any sense. How did random people cause you to lose everything? And what makes your loss so much more important than that of others?"
Wyverncakes (05:58:25): "I lost my home twice... I lost my mother to monsters!"
Wyverncakes (05:58:39): "BUT I NEVER WANTED TO TAKE IT OUT ON NORMAL PEOPLE!"
healingpink (05:58:52): Kaname opens her mouth -- then immediately shuts it as others begin to speak over the comms.
Wyverncakes (05:59:02): "You're just a psycho looking for any excuse you can to hurt people!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:59:11): Seina: "!!" Your words give her pause.
griefgathering (05:59:40): *Tsubasa is kind of stuck here, but what the heck. She doesn't know how the green Noise will react to an energy-based attack, so she flings a single wave of energy at it!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:59:41): Did your point get to her?
tormterra (05:59:56): Kei's face show up on a screen on Asagi's comms for just a moment, sending him a rather meaningful look. Not like they didn't know loss either
cubey@aol.pl (06:00:07): Takuma: "No! Burn everything!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:00:30): Congrats Tsubasa, you cut the green Noise neatly in half.
VJockey (06:00:40): [Peola isn't sure just what she could say to all of this...]
tengusaur (06:00:47): Asagi simply nods in response solemnly. It's not as bad as losing your whole family to aliens, but... Yeah.
Aero (06:00:55): Kanade: "...I was just like the both of you once. I lost my entire family to Noise and all I could think about was revenge."
cubey@aol.pl (06:00:58): But alas, it starts growing quite haphazardly. As in, the whole location around you is suddenly full of green, wretched things!
griefgathering (06:01:25): Tsubasa: "No good, either...!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:01:29): That takes more and more available space. And at the same time... the Giant Noise were confused before. They are not so confused anymore. Their giant clawed fists swing down upon you.
cubey@aol.pl (06:01:30): React.
tengusaur (06:03:19): # ?
griefgathering (06:03:23): *All Tsubasa can do here is try to move as quickly as possible to escape - she even lights the small thrusters her armor has to give herself an added burst of speed!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:31): You are too far away, Asagi.
Aero (06:03:40): #
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:46): You can only watch helplessly as Tsubasa tries to dodge the giant limbs, and is not successful.
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:47): Approved.
Aero (06:04:02): Kanade: "Tsubasa!"
tengusaur (06:04:18): Asagi: "Damn! Watch out Tsubasa!"
Meraxa (06:05:04): Ken: Agh! So caught up I forgot about the Noise!
Aero (06:05:17): You're not the only one!
tormterra (06:05:32): Ken: "Asagi, Ken, you're the fastest try to get over there and help her."
tengusaur (06:05:43): Asagi: "They seemed docile for a moment! Something changed!"
Ginkan SK (06:05:45): Raquel is down and she's been hit pretty darn hard by this thing, she's moving to get up but she's slow she's been dazed by the force of the hit.
VJockey (06:05:46): "Damnit!"
tengusaur (06:05:47): Asagi: "I'm going!"
VJockey (06:05:53): "What just happened?!"
Aero (06:06:13): Kanade: "We need to break the field and wipe out the Noise in one attack..."
Aero (06:06:17): Kanade focused.
Meraxa (06:06:46): Ken: But- I- Right! *Ken shifts into Beast Mode this time. Its a good deal slower than Drive Mode, but he can't afford he lack of protection*
Aero (06:07:07): *Kanade kicks off of the ground and attempts to catch her partner and get her the hell out of there before the situation got any worse. +
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:23): Thanks to Kanade, Tsubasa managed to avoid a direct hit.
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:41): But the punched still grazed by her Symphogear, which means she is battered pretty badly.
Aero (06:08:25): Kanade: "Tsubasa, Tsubasa.""
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:31): That was really close! And even so, you could not protect your partner fully, Kanade.
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:32): What do?
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:37): (Kanade go)
griefgathering (06:09:21): Tsubasa is conscious after that, but just barely.
griefgathering (06:11:08): Tsubasa: "Nhh..."
Aero (06:11:26): Kanade: "Just hold on Tsubasa. I'm going to end this."
griefgathering (06:11:40): She is also trying her very best to get back into things, but no one really knows that she's trying.
Aero (06:13:46): * Kanade closes her eyes...and raises her spear before she begins to sing again. "Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal, Emustolronzen fine el balal zillz, Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal" As each verse is sung a huge amount of energy starts building up around Kanade. "Emustolronzen fine el zillz." Once the last verse is finished she thrusts the spear out and a huge drill-like spiral of energy erupts from it flying at both the Replicator Noise and Behemoth itself. +
Aero (06:13:55): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O5S_dfKjPQ
cubey@aol.pl (06:15:13): It's as if a wind suddenly swept through the battlefield, carrying a beautiful but haunting melody.
Meraxa (06:15:18): Ken: What is she...?
VJockey (06:15:30): "!!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:15:31): The Noise... are swept away by the wind, instantly turned to ash.
VJockey (06:15:33): "This..."
tengusaur (06:15:34): Asagi: "That song is... Different..."
Wyverncakes (06:15:39): Flit: "What...?"
VJockey (06:15:44): [She feels something within this 'wind'...]
VJockey (06:15:50): [But...]
cubey@aol.pl (06:15:54): A trickle of blood flows from the corner of Kanade's mouth.
healingpink (06:16:08): Kaname: "What was that?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:11): As for the Behemoth...
VJockey (06:16:19): "This is..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:28): Takuma: "No! Shut up! SHUT UP WITH THE SONG SHUT UP SHUT UP!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:31): He's freaking out!
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:45): Tessa: "That's it!"
tormterra (06:16:51): Kei: "It's different...What is it?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:17:05): Tessa: "He may not be a Whispered... but in the current state, he might as well... miss Kaname."
cubey@aol.pl (06:17:17): "Please try out to reach to him. Focus your mind... on the song you heard earlier."
tengusaur (06:17:20): Asagi: "Normally their songs are much more upbeat and stuff... But it worked really well."
healingpink (06:18:17): "On that song?" Kaname looks uncertain.
Aero (06:18:21): Kanade: "That's the difference between us...I'm using this power to protect people...no matter what...it does..."
healingpink (06:18:22): There's a moment of reluctance and then --
healingpink (06:18:29): "Okay."
cubey@aol.pl (06:18:30): Tessa: "Don't use words. Just... your thoughts."
cubey@aol.pl (06:18:33): Funny thing.
cubey@aol.pl (06:18:39): That last sentence? Only Kaname heard it.
Dude Spacely (06:18:40): Sousuke: "....Is the song really effecting him that much?"
tormterra (06:18:46): Kei: "Did her words just now sound worrying to the rest of you as well?"
Aero (06:18:55): Kanade falls onto one knee still holding her partner in her arms.
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:04): Hey Kanade.
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:16): Your face is bleeding. You may want to do something about it.
Meraxa (06:19:16): Ken: ...This isn't right. Miss Kanade!
tengusaur (06:19:49): Asagi: "...Kanade. Tsubasa. Are you okay?"
healingpink (06:19:51): Kaname begins to focus on the song -- and on reaching that brat of a kid. It seems crazy, like something out of a science fiction movie, but what HADN'T been strange since she was kidnapped all those months ago?
tormterra (06:20:07): Kei: "Ken, get them out of here and find a hospital or infirmary or similar."
healingpink (06:20:12): In any case, it was worth a shot.
cubey@aol.pl (06:20:55): Peola feels a strange sensation. A mind, trying to probe around... or something like that.
griefgathering (06:20:56): Tsubasa was still only half conscious when this happened...but now she staring at her partner with her eyes wide. "...Kanade...?"
Wyverncakes (06:20:57): Flit: "There... there has to be one in the base, right?"
Wyverncakes (06:21:00): "A doctor?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:01): But it does not turn on her, but rather on someone else.
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:10): Takuma: "NO! STOP!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:15): "I WILL KILL.... AAAGH!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:24): The Behemoth shudders.
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:28): Being stuck in a hole doesn't help.
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:32): But suddenly...
griefgathering (06:21:33): It's clear that whatever that song was, even the blue haired idol is freaking out, but for a different reason.
Meraxa (06:21:37): Ken: I'll try! If I can even get close...!
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:44): Its lambda driver barrier is gone!
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:53): Tessa: "Ah! Thank you, it worked!"
Wyverncakes (06:22:00): Flit: "It's down...!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:04): Tessa: "Please hit and destroy the lambda driver generator, it should be at the bottom!"
Aero (06:22:07): Kanade: Hey partner....you took a pretty bad beating there."
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:10): Ken, Raquel, Sousuke!
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:14): Act now, and make it count!
VJockey (06:22:35): [Her mind itched at that, she took a sharp breath because what the flying fu-]
Aero (06:22:44): She says as more and more blood escapes her.
healingpink (06:22:52): Kaname presses a hand against her head as she finally snaps out of it.
healingpink (06:23:00): "It worked..."
VJockey (06:23:13): "What was that...?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:23:17): Tessa: "Do you see what I meant now, miss Kaname?"
healingpink (06:24:06): Kaname: "I don't really get it..."
Meraxa (06:26:17): Ken: ...Ngh! *Ken hears Tessa's command, and looks back towards the distant but large machine. It'll be brief, but the ScarleTiger shall transform, and with all the power the machine can muster, its scarlet shotels are thrown back the way it came. Right towards in fact...* Raquel, take 'em! *Before Ken's does indeed shift to Drive Mode now, and hits the face flame for a nitro boost. Please, don't let him be too late...+
Dude Spacely (06:28:51): Sousuke watches the Behemoth’s shield go down and the pilot freak out. “Ribht. Now is my chance.” He begins to open fire with his Scattershot rifle and the machine guns from his head unit, aiming for the legs of the unit to hopefully knock it over. He finishes off the attack by chucking a grenade toward the underside of the machine, hopefully blowing off one of its legs.+
tengusaur (06:29:38): @ Sousuke
cubey@aol.pl (06:30:10): Approved.
Wyverncakes (06:30:16): @ Sousuke as well?
cubey@aol.pl (06:30:27): Approved, but make it quick.
cubey@aol.pl (06:30:33): (While we wait for Raquel)
Ginkan SK (06:30:43): Raquel struggles to get up the feed back is gone but her machine took a heck of a hit there and she knows it. She gets back up slowly struggling but she seems able to do so. She takes the blades, she's not one for melee weapons often, however her master did not entirely discount some basic training with them. Raquel movces in with them and leaps in to follow ups Ken's attack making a strike where Tessa has commanded with both blades.+
Wyverncakes (06:31:23): * With his arm damaged from the exchange with the Shadow, Flit decides to keep it simple... and just throw one of his beam knives at the general weak point of the Behemoth.+
cubey@aol.pl (06:31:26): The leg... is actually in a bad spot and surprisingly fragile, so Sousuke breaks it easily. The titan starts to topple!
tengusaur (06:32:01): * "Kanade? Are you... Damnit! Laying supporting fire!" Asagi is conflicted, but he can't let the change slip by - the behemoth has to go down! He pulls out his beam cannon, aims, and sends a bright shot at the point where Sousuke is aiming! +
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:07): It tries shooting back, but its chainguns break when hit by the beam knife.
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:23): The beam shot only further speeds its descent up.
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:41): Then Raquel strikes the lambda driver with the shotels - and destroys it beyond use.
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:57): The Plan-1051 Behemoth... starts to collapse on itself.
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:09): Without the driver, suddenly laws of physics reminded it that they're still there.
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:15): And it's way too heavy to support its own mass, so it does not.
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:34): Takuma: "Ha ha ha! No! I will... crush you all! For Seina, for sis!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:40): Seina: "Takuma..."
tormterra (06:33:44): Seeing the Behemoth collapse, Kei relaxed in her seat. It was finally over, even if it was hardly the best outcome...At least she hoped the other terrorists would give up
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:48): Seina: "I'm not your sister."
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:53): Takuma: "Eh?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:34:02): Seina: "Did you forget already? You killed your sister months ago."
VJockey (06:34:18): "......"
cubey@aol.pl (06:34:35): Takuma: "Eh? Ehh? Impossible..."
healingpink (06:34:36): Kaname's mouth drops.
Ginkan SK (06:34:47): Raquel stares in muted horror.
cubey@aol.pl (06:34:55): There is no further message from the behemoth's cockpit. It crushes on itself, mercifully quickly.
Wyverncakes (06:35:15): Flit: "He... killed her? Why would he kill her?!?"
griefgathering (06:35:15): As the Behemoth collapses, Tsubasa tends to her partner. She's using what strength she has left to lift the older girl. Ironic how the situation's now reversed after what happened.
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:32): The rest of the terrorists see they are outmatched. Without the Behemoth, they lost their spirits.
tormterra (06:35:33): Kei: "He's not the most stable..."
tengusaur (06:35:41): Asagi: "That was messed up..."
VJockey (06:35:42): [Peola flinched at that... and not just from the death that happened.]
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:45): Seina: "He was psychotic. In the end, I was only using him..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:55): The Shadow jumps off and tries to flee!
Wyverncakes (06:36:06): Flit: "RUNNING AWAY?!?"
tengusaur (06:36:11): Asagi: "The rest of you, drop your weapons. HEY! "
Wyverncakes (06:36:12): "TO DO THAT TO MORE PEOPLE?!?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:36:43): "No... you are right."
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:00): The Shadow stops after one jump. It just stands atop a ruined building.
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:09): Seina: "I have lost everything to live for. Therefore."
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:13): Seina: "This is farewell"
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:15): It explodes!
VJockey (06:37:24): "Wai-"
VJockey (06:37:30): "...."
healingpink (06:37:32): Kaname's mouth continues to hang open.
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:41): Tessa looks at the scene with a sad expression on her face.
tengusaur (06:37:41): Asagi: "...Why. Why would anyone do this."
Wyverncakes (06:37:52): Flit: "I..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:56): Tessa: "I am sorry this meeting ended up as troublesome as it was."
Wyverncakes (06:37:57): "I can't even begin to imagine..."
griefgathering (06:38:01): Tsubasa: "..."
VJockey (06:38:15): [A tremendously ill feeling falls over Peola, she clutches herself inside the cockpit and shivers.]
Dude Spacely (06:38:15): Sousuke: "...."
cubey@aol.pl (06:38:19): Genjurou: "Hey now.
VJockey (06:38:23): "What... what is all this..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:38:27): "Don't think you can escape responsibility like that."
cubey@aol.pl (06:38:55): Genjurou: "Dying is the easy way out. If you committed sins in the past, redeem yourself by working twice as hard towards good!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:39:21): The 2nd section commander is standing at the base of the ruined building.
cubey@aol.pl (06:39:31): Over his shoulder, he holds the unconscious, but alive, terrorist leader.
cubey@aol.pl (06:39:36): How did he rescue her in time, is a mystery.
tormterra (06:39:40): Kei was sitting there, very quietly. This had turned out quite awful
VJockey (06:40:02): "Wha-"
cubey@aol.pl (06:40:06): Genjurou: "By the way, I just received word from the minister of defense. He is impressed by your performance, so the Symphogear program will continue."
VJockey (06:40:19): [Okay, now THAT caught her even MORE off guard.]
Ginkan SK (06:40:20): Raquel "The cowards way out..."
tengusaur (06:40:48): Asagi: "...This guy. He's just un- nevermind, what about Tsubasa!"
tengusaur (06:40:50): *Kanade
griefgathering (06:40:53): Tsubasa: "...Commander, Kanade is..."
Wyverncakes (06:41:05): Flit: "Is she going to be okay?"
Dude Spacely (06:41:12): Sousuke: "Is everyone alright? Commander?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:41:27): Genjurou: "Don't worry, Amou is tough. Medical aid is on its way, just in case."
Ginkan SK (06:41:34): Raquel "I'll live...hows everyone else.... and the Commander? Good."
tormterra (06:41:43): Kei: "Are you sure? It looked bad."
cubey@aol.pl (06:41:57): Indeed, medics arrive at the scene already.
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:00): And they are not alone.
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:23): Genjurou suddenly sounds more serious: "I wish I could say it's the first time this happened. But since it didn't, at least I can tell you that yes, she will be alright."
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:36): With the medics, on a crutch, walks a certain soldier from before.
tengusaur (06:42:39): Asagi: "That is... good to hear."
Aero (06:42:42): Indeed, despite the fact that her transformation has ended and she's covered in blood she seems to have stabilized.
Meraxa (06:42:43): Ken brings his vehicle to a screeching halt nearby. Even if he's... no longer needed, he can't help but emerge from the vehicle. Just to try and make sure.
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:48): Tsuyama: "Actually I wanted to say..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:51): He is carrying something.
Wyverncakes (06:42:54): Flit just... breaths a sigh of relief.
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:58): A Zwei Wing CD.
cubey@aol.pl (06:43:06): Tsuyama: "I am a big fan! Could you sign... oh."
cubey@aol.pl (06:43:15): He notices the condition Kanade and Tsubasa are in.
cubey@aol.pl (06:43:18): Well this is awkward.
VJockey (06:43:43): [Peola just slumps in her seat. This was way tougher than anything she was used to.]
cubey@aol.pl (06:43:48): Regardless, the operation ended in a success!
VJockey (06:43:52): "I..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:44:01): A messed up success with a lot of complications, but a success nevertheless.
VJockey (06:44:02): "Am never complaining about things being too easy ever again"
Ginkan SK (06:44:20): Raquel is quiet in her cockpit she's got osmething to think about however Peola has caught her attention, to be certain.
cubey@aol.pl (06:46:58): MISSION COMPLETE
