tengusaur (22:02:35): Last time, on SRWU:
tengusaur (22:02:57): The Sage Trinity asked Ashe to come in to their place so they could take a look at Biometal Model A.
tengusaur (22:03:28): Of course going alone would be too dangerous if Prometheus and a whole army of Mavericks decided to show up again, so a few people accompanied her.
tengusaur (22:03:38): One of those people has his own reason for coming...
tengusaur (22:04:04): Flit's mysterious friend, Yurin, showed up again, turned out to be present at the Legion HQ!
tengusaur (22:04:15): And thus, your group embarked.
tengusaur (22:04:42): The way to your destination was pretty eventless. Nothing attacked you on the way, giving you time to watch the scenery.
tengusaur (22:04:53): (No shuttle here, just walking/flying on your own.)
tengusaur (22:05:19): But now, after a few hours, you can see the city where your destination is in the distance.
Drascin (22:05:22): Ashe: You guys are going to love HQ. It's basically a huge city, it has everything! And the Sages try out all sorts of weird new techs they think up in HQ before giving them to the world.
VJockey (22:05:31): [Red Alert was listlessly checking through as many sensor forms as he could manage with his on board systems. Paranoia is justified when people are actually out to get you.]
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:41): "We didn't go on that camping trip after all..." Izuru looks around, bored by the journey.
Drascin (22:05:42): Ashe is gabbing quite happily as they ride to the city
VJockey (22:05:48): [Optimus and Bumblebee were a lot more sedate as they drove onward.]
Wyverncakes (22:05:49): Flit's pretty excited too.
Wyverncakes (22:05:58): The Sage Trinity's not really the reason why though...
tengusaur (22:06:06): And indeed, the place looks like a whole hi-tech city, with a very tall tower standing high in the middle of it.
tormterra (22:06:07): Kei: "Why do you want to camp anyway? It's full of bugs and bumpy ground when you're trying to sleep."
tengusaur (22:06:07): http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081128014431/megaman/images/d/d0/ZXALegionHQ.jpg
Wyverncakes (22:06:12): Rather the chance to catch up with Yurin and see how she was doing-
VJockey (22:06:12): Red Alert: "Does anyone have anything on their sensors?"
Wyverncakes (22:06:27): ... Not that the Legion HQ didn't look amazing thouh!
VJockey (22:06:31): [His voice sounded rather strained, like elastic that's being stretched to its limit.]
Overman Zappa (22:06:38): Banjou: "If camping is an issue, you're welcome to camp out a tmy estate." Yanno, to lessen some disappoin tment.
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:52): Izuru: "It's an adventure!"
Drascin (22:07:05): Ashe: Come on, Kei! Wha are a few bugs and rocks? Where's your sense of adventure!
cubey@aol.pl (22:07:25): Izuru: "See?" Familiar mind detected.
tormterra (22:07:54): Kei: "...I'm fighting aliens, robots, demons and who knows what else every day. Sleeping in a tent seems pretty minor in comparison."
Drascin (22:08:16): Ashe: My point precisely!
VJockey (22:08:18): Bumblebee: "Yeah, but when's the next time you're going to get a quiet day out in somewhere pretty?"
tengusaur (22:08:22): Red Alert? Funny you mentioned that... Because those with better sensors can suddenly detect an energy spike in the middle of an HQ.
VJockey (22:08:33): "Take what you can get right-"
tengusaur (22:08:42): And then, suddenly, an explosion on top of one of the buildings!
Drascin (22:08:47): Model A: ...uhhhh, guys? Did anyone else feel that?
Ashe: Feel what?"
VJockey (22:08:49): Red Alert: "ENERGY SPIKE! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:08:57): Izuru: "Aah! Did you see that guys?!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:03): Stupid question. Of course everyone could see that.
VJockey (22:09:15): [And Red immediately swerves off the path to transform and draw his weapons, pointing them around frantically.]
Wyverncakes (22:09:18): Flit: "W-what?!?"
Drascin (22:09:35): Ashe: ...uh oh. Did Prometheus get here first? Okay, guys, time to speed this up!
tormterra (22:09:47): Kei: "Something's at the HG. I'll try to gather more information."
tengusaur (22:10:09): From far away, you can see tiny dots swarming around the city... And Kei can identify them as small robot drones!
VJockey (22:10:13): Optimus: "Understood Kei, keep us posted."
tengusaur (22:10:16): http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:CuttingGyro.gif
cubey@aol.pl (22:10:17): Izuru: "We're not under attack... but that city is! Let's save them!"
tengusaur (22:10:41): There are bigger enemies present too, but they stay out of sight for the time being.
Overman Zappa (22:10:42): Daitarn: "Definitely.
tengusaur (22:10:57): Well, not for long, because you're at the city's doorsteps!
Drascin (22:11:01): (bigger image for better reference: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080111014550/megaman/images/thumb/7/77/GyroCannon.jpg/200px-GyroCannon.jpg)
tormterra (22:11:28): Kei: "The enemy appears to be a number of small robot drones. I'll send you the images...Focus on anti-personel and other lighter weapons."
Wyverncakes (22:11:47): Flit's now kinda regretting that he didn't include vulcans in the AGE-1...
tengusaur (22:11:56): It goes without saying that you're moving in as fast as you can, right?
tengusaur (22:12:08): Soon, you can see the enemies more clearly!
VJockey (22:12:12): [Save the city indeed! Optimus and Bumblebee were moving towards the fray at full ground speed. Red is carrying the rear as he runs.]
cubey@aol.pl (22:12:28): Izuru: "Got it, Kei!" Red Five accelerates!
Drascin (22:12:41): Model A: Just drones? Whew. That's good.
Ashe: Model A!
Model A: What?!
Ashe: Stop jinxing it!
tengusaur (22:13:03): In addition to the small drones flying in the air, there are also previously encountered robots walking on the ground - big squads of Galleons and large, bipedal Cannonwalkers are shooting at everything!
tengusaur (22:13:18): Spider-like robots are crawling on the walls!
tengusaur (22:13:26): Cannonwalker
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cannonwalker.gif

Galleons
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:Galleons.jpg

Web Bolt
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101212034242/megaman/images/a/a5/Web_bolt_sprite.gif

Gyrocutter
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080111014550/megaman/images/thumb/7/77/GyroCannon.jpg/200px-GyroCannon.jpg
tengusaur (22:13:29): And, among all of this...
tengusaur (22:13:41): Several Gundam-sized mechanical flies are buzzing!
tengusaur (22:13:46): King Flyer
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:BM125.png
Drascin (22:14:03): Ashe: Those robots... those were the ones Prometheus and his cronies were using! So it IS them!
Wyverncakes (22:14:07): Flit: "So many of them...!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:14:09): Izuru: "These robots are the same as from before!"
tengusaur (22:14:10): There is someone standing on top of one of them... A bird-like robot, the size of smaller Transformers.
tengusaur (22:14:14): Vulturon the Condoroid
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:ZXACondorrock.jpg
Wyverncakes (22:14:15): "But why would they be here now?"
tengusaur (22:14:40): Vulturon: "Finally my audience has arrived. I am Vulturon! Welcome to my concert of death!"
tengusaur (22:14:47): He plays a chord on the guitar he's holding.
Drascin (22:14:49): Ashe: What else? They've come for the Biometal! They must have caught wind that we were coming somehow!
tengusaur (22:15:25): Vulturon: "Ah, you're a sharp one, Megaman! Say, why won't we have some audience participation?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:40): Izuru: "This is not the time for playing a guitar! ... Even if it is kinda cool..."
tengusaur (22:15:57): Vulturon: "I'll play the lead guitar, you can handle the lyrics with your dying screams."
tormterra (22:16:01): Kei: "Others might use them too...But whoever that guy is, be careful."
VJockey (22:16:03): Optimus: "I am afraid your show is over!"
Drascin (22:16:16): Ashe: You wish! We're ending your career right here!
tengusaur (22:16:23): Vulturon: "Quite the contrary! It's just starting!"
Drascin (22:16:24): Model A: ...yeah! What she said!
tengusaur (22:16:38): Vulturon: "Let the concert of death start! Listen to my song!"
tengusaur (22:16:42): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogh14KY6P7E
tengusaur (22:16:49): Enemy List: Cannonwalker x12, Galleon x35, Web Bolt x20, Gyrocutter x40, King Flyer x4, Vulturon
tengusaur (22:16:54): Initiative order: Ashe, Flit, Optimus, Izuru, Kei, Banjou
tengusaur (22:17:01): (Ashe, Flit, Optimus)
Wyverncakes (22:18:13): Using the DODS Rifle was going to be a tricky thing in this environment. The enemies were small, but the chance of collateral was so high...
Drascin (22:18:23): Ashe: let's clear the way first!
Wyverncakes (22:18:57): * "But I can at least cut you down no problem!" AGE-1 flies off at one of the King Flyers, bringing out the Beam Rolling Lance and slashing down at the giant bug!+
tengusaur (22:20:12): The gigantic fly is cut into two halves, which explode! But watch out, now suddenly another one of them is charging towards Flit - and Vulturon is rocking out while standing on top of it, creating a powerful rippling soundwave to accompany the charge! (react)
Drascin (22:20:27): *And true to what she just said, Ashe dashes down the street, jumping on a Cannonwalker, shooting it with a piercing laser as she leaps upwards and towards a group of Galleons - and in a blink turns into Buckfire and flies down into the group with an explosive kick!+
VJockey (22:21:13): *Well Ashe, Optimus and Bumblebee are going to help with that quite well as they rev up their engines and rush forward at full speed. While Optimus is just ramming the Galleons over, Bumblebee is taking a different approach... that is to say the front of his vehicle form's armor pulls open to reveal a cannon almost as large as he was, that was opening fire on the legs of the cannonwalkers as he swerves and weaves through the crowd.+
tengusaur (22:21:59): The Cannonwalker tries to fire its guns at Ashe, but she's too fast for it and pierces right through it with her laser! And then that fire Rider Kick smashes right in the middle of a group of Galleons, scattering around pieces of around a dozen of them!
Drascin (22:22:20): Buckfire: Booyah!
tengusaur (22:22:39): But then, a group of around five Web Bolts descends towards Ashe/Buckfire from the walls, firing lasers repeatedly! (react)
Drascin (22:23:33): Buckfire: Alright, let's see if this thing works...
Wyverncakes (22:23:41): * AGE-1's thrusters fire again to take evasive maneuvers, and as quick as he can, Flit grabs hold of his shield and pulls it in front of him for protection.
tengusaur (22:23:48): The Transformers' combined attack takes care of two of the Cannonwalkers and around 10 Galleons, smashing them into useless wreck! But now, the swarm of Gyrocutters starts flying around them, peppering them with cannonfire! (react)
tengusaur (22:24:21): Flit manages to avoid the attack in time, though AGE-1 is still shaken a little from that sonic boom passing by!
tengusaur (22:24:28): (Izuru, Kei, Banjou)
Wyverncakes (22:24:48): Flit: "So fast...!"
tengusaur (22:25:01): Vulturon: "How's that? You can see I can rock on hard!"
Wyverncakes (22:26:00): Flit just grit his teeth.
cubey@aol.pl (22:26:01): *Targetting reticules appear on Izuru's interface as he locks on targets. "Alright, I just need to take these down!" Red Five starts zipping mid-air, using both of its pistols to send short, controlled bursts of fire towards the gyrocutters.+
VJockey (22:26:05): *Optimus and Bumblebee make for some crazy stunt driving, but surely evasion alone wouldn't help against airborne swarms would they? Well... thankfully Red Alert was there to help in his own way, letting loose several shots from his rifle at the Gyrocutters!+
Drascin (22:26:07): *And so Buckfire turns and dashes behind a wall, the thrusers in his legs propelling him forward... a second of silence while he's out of sight... and then he crashes right through the wall the spiders are coming down through, horns lowered!+
Drascin (22:26:12): Buckfire: OH YEAH!
Wyverncakes (22:26:18): Extremely fast enemies were something the AGE System still hadn't found a solution to just yet.
VJockey (22:26:30): Red Alert: "I knew it was going to be a bad day to get out of the base!"
VJockey (22:26:45): Bumblebee: "You say that every day!"
Overman Zappa (22:27:43): Banjou, so used to fighting things 'his own size', takes aim at the buzzing King Fliers with the DODS rifle, and starts shooting away from beneath one.+
tormterra (22:27:45): * "Autobots, lay down suppressing fire and target the bug that the enemy leader is riding on. Flit, use that opening to try to snipe it away under him to knock him off-balance so we can strike later before he gets his bearings in flight." +
tengusaur (22:27:52): The Transformers manage to avoid the incoming barrage while taking only a few glancing shots, probably thanks to Red Alert's twitchy finger and Izuru's supporting fire. 16 Gyrocutters are down - they don't seem to take that much damage to take down.
tengusaur (22:28:37): But now, the rest of the drones are flying towards Red Five! Their tactics - cut into it with their spinning helicopter blades! To make it worse, a few Cannonwalkers are sending cover fire from the ground! (react)
tengusaur (22:29:00): (take your Kei-given actions folks)
VJockey (22:30:18): *Optimus and Bumblebee skid across the road and transform, drawing their weapons in a smooth motion and open fire, admittedly Red Alert beats them to the punch with a shoulder launched rocket towards Vulturon's ride!+
tengusaur (22:30:39): Ashe in Buckfire's skin smashes through the wall, sending four of the robotic spiders crashing down and breaking them while receiving only a few bars of energy damage herself! On the bad side, now the place you were supposed to defend is even more damaged.
cubey@aol.pl (22:30:39): Izuru: "Uh oh..."
VJockey (22:31:10): Red Alert: "Argh... your music is even worse than those messes Blaster keeps pumping through the comms! I'm hitting your mute button right NOW!!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:31:14): *Red Five reverses thrust and tries to back off, at the same time its arms are stretched forward and try to shoot down the closest drones to give Izuru more breathing room.+
Wyverncakes (22:31:19): * "Right...!" Bringing out the DODS Rifle, Flit focuses, trying to line up the shot and tap into that... whatever it was that had let him occasionally hit right where he needed. No such luck this time, but when he thinks he has the shot he fires!+
Drascin (22:31:31): Model A: Ashe! You said we're supposed to save this place!
Buckfire: That wall was already breaking down! Doesn't count!
tengusaur (22:32:05): Banjou's shots pierce through one of the giant robotic flies, causing small explosions inside, and it starts descending towards him rapidly, smoking! Looks like it's going to crash - into him! And while it does so, it still spits balls of energy from its mouth towards the Genoace! (react)
tengusaur (22:33:33): Izuru escapes most of the incoming attacks, though a few of them cut into his barrier and cause strain on it. He manages to shoot down five of the attacking drones though.
Overman Zappa (22:34:38): "DAITARN WE-" Oh wait... in a haste, Banjou puts up the Genoace's shield to block the shots while taking a couple more shots to further break up the descending wreckage+
cubey@aol.pl (22:35:03): Izuru: "Ah, there are no Daitarn weapons on the Genoace!"
tengusaur (22:35:28): The shots fired by the Transformers cover the giant robo-fly in small explosions, stopping it in mid-air. This gives Flit a chance to pierce right through it with his DODS rifle, causing a large explosion!
Wyverncakes (22:36:09): Flit: "Did that get him?"
tengusaur (22:36:26): Banjou's shield takes quite a damage from this shots, but his further fire causes the fly to fall apart into pieces before it reaches him. It crashes into a nearby building, already turned to ruin before you even arrived.
tormterra (22:36:29): Kei: "I would have thought that was obvious, Izuru."
Drascin (22:36:30): Ashe in the meantime is transforming back into herself. Buckfire is a nice body to visit but she wouldn't want to live there
tengusaur (22:36:45): Vulturon: "Of course not!"
Drascin (22:37:01): Ashe: Flit! What did I say before about not jinxing it?
tengusaur (22:37:10): The birdlike robot appears in mid-air, right above the explosion. It looks like he has the ability to teleport to some extent.
Wyverncakes (22:37:34): Flit: "But there was no way to be sure or not!"
tengusaur (22:37:46): Vulturon: "Let me show you my special ability. Not sure if you realized, but all of these Mavericks are under my direct control."
tengusaur (22:37:57): Vulturon: "Which means...!"
tengusaur (22:38:15): He keeps playing the guitar vigorously!
tengusaur (22:38:33): And, suddenly, some of the previously destroyed enemies, thought to be broken, raise from the ground!
cubey@aol.pl (22:39:00): Izuru: "Robot... zombies?"
tengusaur (22:39:00): They move in a jerky fashion, like zombies that they pretty much are... But they still move.
VJockey (22:39:09): Optimus: "Its like Paradigm City all over again..."
Drascin (22:39:13): Model A: Hey! That's cheating!
Ashe: Wha the heck?
Drascin (22:39:29): Ashe: We took those down fair and square!
Overman Zappa (22:39:30): Banjou: "That's... not as unsettling as you'd imagine." he says, still ready to wreck shop.
tengusaur (22:39:32): Enemy reinforcements: Zombie Galleon x20, Zombie King Flyer, Zombie Cannonwalker x2
tormterra (22:39:41): Kei: "How do they even move...Shouldn't their servos be destroyed?"
tengusaur (22:39:56): And all of them start shooting! Their attacks are focused on a single target - Purple Two! (Kei react)
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:10): Izuru: "They're zombies Kei, it doesn't have to... watch out!"
tengusaur (22:40:11): Vulturon: "Isn't it obvious? Even the dead will dance to my music!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:13): #
VJockey (22:40:16): #?
tengusaur (22:40:16): (approed)
tengusaur (22:40:19): (also)
Wyverncakes (22:40:50): Flit: "If that's how you're doing it, then we'll smash that guitar to pieces then!"
Overman Zappa (22:40:56): Banjou: "Don't think of them as zombies. Just... repaired.
Drascin (22:41:05): Ashe: It's not even very good music!
cubey@aol.pl (22:41:11): *Red Five flies up to Purple Two and extends its energy barriers, creating another layer through which the shots have to go through to hit.+
VJockey (22:41:15): *Optimus doesn't continue his words, simply leaping up from his trailer, climbing and kicking off a building up towards Kei to quickly pull her out of the line of fire!+
Drascin (22:41:16): /shot fired
tengusaur (22:41:57): Vulturon: "Don't tell me you're one of those people who wouldn't know good music if it hit them in the face! That can be arranged, by the way."
tormterra (22:42:01): * Kei was suddenly forced to ignore commenting on Izuru's logic to instead focus on the incoming shots. While her shield was strong, it was still a lot of shots to protect against. While keeping her shields up, she strived to try and dodge behind a nearby building to avoid getting hit in the first place. +
tengusaur (22:42:53): Thanks to her own evasion and Optimus pulling her out of the way, Kei dodges the incoming attacks! What she didn't dodge, Izuru tanks with his own energy barrier, which gets strained a bit more.
tengusaur (22:43:04): And then, suddenly!
tengusaur (22:43:15): Kei can detect more energy signatures incoming!
cubey@aol.pl (22:43:16): Izuru: "That was close!"
tengusaur (22:43:18): They're coming from the sky!
tengusaur (22:43:30): You have very little time to even mention it, though...
tormterra (22:43:37): Kei: "Something's coming from above."
tengusaur (22:43:45): Because right now, a pink explosion appears on the side of the HQ's main tower!
tengusaur (22:43:57): And a swarm of beam shots descends on the city!
Drascin (22:44:07): Ashe: What the-?
tengusaur (22:44:17): It's fired by incoming Mobile Suits...
tengusaur (22:44:20): But that's not right.
Wyverncakes (22:44:25): Flit: "More friends of yours?!?"
tengusaur (22:44:31): They weren't supposed to attack again for 7 years!
tengusaur (22:44:37): Gafran
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gafran-ms.png
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/File:Gafran_violet.png

Baqto
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ovv-a_Baqto_Front.png
tengusaur (22:44:42): The Unknown Enemy are here.
tengusaur (22:44:45): And not just that.
tengusaur (22:44:49): There's a new model.
Wyverncakes (22:45:03): Flit's almost immediately eating his words.
tormterra (22:45:07): Kei: "Prepare to engage the new enemy."
Overman Zappa (22:45:08): Banjou: "Damn!"
tengusaur (22:45:10): Enemy List: Cannonwalker x9, Galleon x13, Web Bolt x16, Gyrocutter x19, King Flyer, Vulturon, Zombie Galleon x20, Zombie King Flyer, Zombie Cannonwalker x2, Gafran x8, Baqto x3
Wyverncakes (22:45:16): "The U...E...?"
tengusaur (22:45:29): (Ashe, Flit, Optimus, go)
Drascin (22:45:46): Ashe: Flit! Snap out of it! Fighting first, identification later!
Wyverncakes (22:45:56): Flit: "I know, I know it's just...!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:46:43): Izuru: "UE are attacking so quickly? And they're on Earth!"
VJockey (22:46:44): Red Alert: "Another enemy?! Well this just means my backup plan is justified!"
Wyverncakes (22:47:08): * AGE-1 chages at the Gafrans, DODS Rifle lining up to open fie! "This isn't the time or the place they were going to attack... but... no matter why there here, I won't let them destroy this place like they did Nora and the other colonies!"+
tormterra (22:47:38): Kei: "Yes...I'll gather what data I can to bring it to the military hierarchy. Maybe they can find answers."
tengusaur (22:48:47): One of the Gafrans is penetrated by the DODS beam and explodes, the rest of them scattering to the sides! Not the Baqtos, though - all three are moving straight for the AGE-1, firing rapid-fire beam vulcans from their hands! (react)
Drascin (22:49:12): *And true to her words, Ashe zooms forward, taking advantage of her superhuman speed, zooming under the cannonwalkers' legs and zigzagging across the battlefield before jumping. The world seems to go slow motion for a second as she turns on the air, acquiring all the targets around herself - and then lets go a positive storm of bullets in all directions as she spins on herself in the air!+
tengusaur (22:49:47): (preference in targets, Ashe?)
Drascin (22:49:50): Model A: Take that! Crush attack!
(Ashe is too busy killing shit to point out how terrible a name this is)
VJockey (22:50:40): *To which a section of his body opens up to pull out ... a tapedeck? Wait- is that BLASTER?! The Autobot comms expert stumbles a little clumsily, so maybe his appearance wasn't all that voluntary but as everything's slowly starting to clear up. "Enemy! Sound based attack! PLAY! PLAAAAAY!!!" Red Alert's frantic direction towards Vulturon kind of kills any questions and gripes he has at this moment as he turns up the volume to maximum and starts pumping out music to mess with whatever control is had over the Zombots!+
Drascin (22:50:41): (pretty much anything fragile - ie, anything but Vulturon and the Fliers. Crush is basically a wide area artillery sweep)
VJockey (22:50:52): ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73dc1D8YHBg )
Drascin (22:51:07): (so whatever the biggest groop of mooks is)
Wyverncakes (22:52:12): * With the three Baqtos focusing down the AGE-1, Flit begins to fall back and make the most of the AGE-1's mobility and its shield! "Need a good angle to hit them with..." He strafed around until he could make a shot running parallel to the Legion's HQ, and then opened fire on the lead Baqto!+
tengusaur (22:53:35): It seems that Blaster's sound-based attack manages to disrupt Vulturon, because roughly half of the zombie-like destroyed robots stop moving and collapse! And it seems he's shaken by the attack himself too. "Argh... I don't think I called for a supporting act! Take this!" Vulturon suddenly disappears and teleports right above Blaster, and smashes his guitar into him from above, like a club! (react)
tengusaur (22:54:24): Flit's shield takes the brunt of the impact here, and despite his rapid dodging, the main body of AGE-1 doesn't go without any harm either! These units really are elites...
tengusaur (22:54:29): But now, he fires a countershot!
tengusaur (22:54:45): The lead Bagto raises its forearms, and some kind of force field appears over them!
Wyverncakes (22:54:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rECPwWtHLM8
VJockey (22:55:07): *Oh dear! With the speed that happened, Blaster barely has any time to dodge, so he focuses on blocking! Vulturon however will find both Bumblebee and Red Alert opening fire at him though!+
tengusaur (22:55:11): The DODS shot hits it... And instead of damaging the Mobile Suit, it's dispersed!
Wyverncakes (22:55:19): Flit: "Wh-what?!?"
tengusaur (22:55:24): Into a bunch of smaller beams, that hit the nearby buildings!
Wyverncakes (22:55:44): He just stares in disbelief -and then horror- at the damage his own shot did to the city...!
Overman Zappa (22:55:45): Banjou: "It deflected the beam? That beam? "
cubey@aol.pl (22:56:03): Izuru: "A... ah, the city!"
Wyverncakes (22:56:05): "A DODS beam... getting stopped like that..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:56:26): He's seriously too busy trying not to die to do more than just momentarily gape in shock.
tengusaur (22:56:39): Ashe's rapidly firing attack destroys pretty much all the zombified enemies (except the King Flyer), as well as cutting down considerably on the number of other Mavericks - roughly half of them are down, in fact. Area attacks are good for large groups of small enemies like this.
tormterra (22:57:18): Kei: (After a fairly long silence) "Avoid using beams to fight those enemies, rely on physical attacks for them."
Drascin (22:57:19): Ashe lands, her guns smoking
tengusaur (22:58:04): Cracks starty to appear on Blaster's arm as Vulturon slowly overpowers him... But then the rescue comes, and the bird-like robot is forced to jump back into the sky! The shots fired by the other Transformers still graze him, however.
tengusaur (22:58:07): And, when Ashe lands...
Drascin (22:58:08): Ashe: ...that was exhausting.
Model A: Don't worry, I recharge! Just give me a bit.
Overman Zappa (22:58:19): Banjou regrets that this machine has a stick.... A heated stick but still a stick. "Understood Kei.
tengusaur (22:58:28): Suddenly some kind of shape fades out of a shadow behind her.
cubey@aol.pl (22:58:35): Izuru: "Got it! Please hang in there, mr Optimus and friends!"
tengusaur (22:58:41): ???: "TARGET ACQUIRED. INITIALIZING BATTLE."
Drascin (22:59:05): Ashe: Wait what-
tengusaur (22:59:05): Two very large, purple shurikens are thrown at Ashe's back with great speed! (react)
tengusaur (22:59:29): The one that threw them...
tengusaur (22:59:45): Is a zombie-like, human-sized robot (??), clinging to a nearby wall before jumping down to the floor.
Drascin (22:59:46): *And it's all Ashe can do to dive for cover to the side behind a rubbled building+
tengusaur (22:59:48):
http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/File:SiarnaqModelP.png
tengusaur (23:00:44): The shurikens cut through the rubble, some of it ricocheting off Ashe's armor! Fortunately none of them hit her despite that.
tengusaur (23:00:54): ???: "DATA MATCH FOUND. SUBJECT IS MEGA MAN MODEL A."
Drascin (23:01:07): Model A: Who the heck IS this guy?
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:22): Izuru: "A robot ninja! First zombies and now a ninja!"
tengusaur (23:01:25): ???: "CODENAME SIARNAQ. MODEL P, THE SHADOW MEGA MAN."
tengusaur (23:01:50): Siarnaq: "MODEL A, REQUESTING INPUT."
Drascin (23:02:06): Ashe: ...there's more Mega Mans? ...Mega Men. Whatever! The thing is, why the heck are you trying to kill me then!
tengusaur (23:02:23): Siarnaq: "INPUT INCOMPREHENSIBLE."
Drascin (23:02:27): Model A: Input? I have no idea who you are!
tormterra (23:02:30): Kei: "Don't bring up the idea that pirates are next."
Wyverncakes (23:03:14): Flit: "Is he... a human or a machine?"
Overman Zappa (23:03:20): Banjou: "Inpu t requested. Give it an order! I think it's asking for one."
tengusaur (23:03:36): Siarnaq: "I AM A MEGA MAN."
Drascin (23:03:47): Model A: Uhhhh... okay. Then, um, hey, you! Help us destroy this Vulturon guy!
tengusaur (23:04:29): Siarnaq: "NEGATIVE. THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED..."
tengusaur (23:04:34): Siarnaq: "IS MODEL A."
tengusaur (23:04:35): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izRgb9zWK6I
tengusaur (23:04:45): (Izuru, Kei, Banjou, go)
Drascin (23:04:59): Model A: Well-
Ashe: -crap
tengusaur (23:05:05): Enemy List: Cannonwalker x5, Galleon x8, Web Bolt x9, Gyrocutter x10, King Flyer, Vulturon [light damage], Zombie King Flyer, Gafran x7, Baqto x3, Siarnaq
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:15): Izuru: "I wasn't going to do that..."
VJockey (23:05:21): Red Alert: "Everything is getting worse! I TOLD YOU OPTIMUS! I TOLD YOU WE NEEDED TO PREPARE FOR NINJAS!"
Overman Zappa (23:05:37): Banjou: "Well... I didn't expect that! Sorry!"
VJockey (23:05:39): Optimus: "No you didn't Red Alert..."
VJockey (23:05:57): Red Alert: "IT WAS IN MY SECURITY PROPOSAL DOCUMENT!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:28): *Red Five quickly changes weapons equipped - its left arm grabs for the tripple barrelled chaingun. "Anyway, if you said no energy weapons Kei, then... here I go!" Izuru charges at one of the Baqtos, filling it with lead before, as soon as he gets in range, slashing across its chest with the revved up chainsword!+
Wyverncakes (23:06:47): @ Izuru
tengusaur (23:06:53): (approved)
Wyverncakes (23:07:15): Flit: "Izuru, be careful! We still don't know everything this model can do!"
tormterra (23:07:18): * "The new arrival is hostile. I'll try to keep tabs on his position, hopefully his ninja skills aren't enough to evade detection...Ashe, he seems to be going for you. Focus on staying in areas with plain sight and lots of visibility where he can't get the drop on you. Autobots, when the other robots focus on attacking her, use their moment of distraction to take them out." +
cubey@aol.pl (23:07:51): Izuru: "But we must stop them before they do even more damage!"
Wyverncakes (23:08:12): * "I know..." AGE-1 flies in to accompany. "But you don't have to go it alone!" The Gundam's DODS Rifle isn't worth much in this situation, so back to the Beam Rolling Lancer to strike down at the machine with his Rolling Lancer!+
Drascin (23:08:15): Ashe: Izuru is right! there's a time to be careful but this is not it!
Overman Zappa (23:08:30): *Banjou moves to support Flit by flanking the previously defending Baqto and thrust the heat rod through it's side. "Fear the power of THIS Sun!"+
Drascin (23:08:32): Model A: Why did I know you'd say something like that...
tengusaur (23:08:35): (take your Kei-granted action)
tengusaur (23:09:47): The Baqto proceeds to evade the shots Izuru fired, but his melee attack connects, and the chainsword starts to dig into the enemy's armor!
VJockey (23:09:50): *Optimus motions to the others as they move into position to get the drop on the attackers - unleashing weaponsfire on the first possible opening!+
tengusaur (23:10:35): Flit is less lucky... The enemy raises a forearm again, creating a momentary force field to protect against the rolling lancer.
tengusaur (23:11:01): Banjou hits the side of the Baqto... And barely does any damage. The enemy's armor is too strong for the humble heat rod to do much to it!
Overman Zappa (23:11:35): Banjou: "And here I regret playing fair"
tengusaur (23:11:43): The Baqto suffers visible damage now... But do you see those five points on its chest?
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:49): Izuru: "This guys are really tough!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:52): *These
Drascin (23:11:58): *Ashe runs, trying to use the fallen debris as cover as much as possible. Open areas are all well and good when you're inside a mech, but Ashe is not really super keen on seeing first hand what those shurikens do. She's low on A energy too, after the Crush stunt just now. Darn it. Well, nothing to it but keeping at it! And so, Ashe bounceson a wall and lets go three laser shots that reflect off the nearby walls in weird ways, spiraling for Siarnaq+
tengusaur (23:12:02): Suddenly, a beam blade extends from each one of them, striking at nearby enemies!
tengusaur (23:12:15): And then all of them connect into a huge beam blast, which fires at them!
tengusaur (23:12:23): (Flit, Izuru, Banjou, react!)
Wyverncakes (23:12:28): Flit: "Ah!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:12:39): Izuru: "Woah!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:13:20): *Red Five tries to jump up above the Baqto, extending the energy barrier downwards.+
Wyverncakes (23:13:26): * So close, Flit's forced to abandon the trusty beam pizza cutter and raise his shield! Another UE attack so soon... and the AGE-1 fairing barely any better than a Genoace!+
tengusaur (23:13:32): As Ashe starts jumping around, some of the smaller enemies fire at her - but then the Autobots take them down one by one with defensive fire! The Galleons are pretty much all down now, as is one of the Cannonwalkers.
tengusaur (23:14:24): The first two laser shots hit Siarnaq, scorching his armor... But he dodges the third one, jumping up and disappearing into a cloud of darkness!
tengusaur (23:14:46): Suddenly four Siarnaqs appear in mid-air, and each one of them starts throwing a bunch of razor-sharp kunai at Ashe! (react)
tengusaur (23:14:51): Siarnaq: "DESTROY."
VJockey (23:15:14): #Ashe with Bumblebee?
tengusaur (23:15:20): (approved)
Drascin (23:15:29): Ashe: Whoa!
Overman Zappa (23:15:51): * Banjou puts the remains of his shield to use and throws it between himself and the incoming blades. +
tengusaur (23:16:25): Banjou loses his shield, and Izuru takes further damage to his force field, but they manage to escape this attack more or less undaamged.
VJockey (23:16:28): *Well this was quite a predicament, Bumblebee splits off from the rest of the Autobots to transform and rush in to help Ashe out, grabbing some debris and holding it up as a shield!+
VJockey (23:16:43): B: "What is with this guy?"
tengusaur (23:16:45): That's because the brunt of it was taken by Flit. AGE-1 has suffered some dangerous damage now, even protected by the shield...
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:58): Izuru: "Ahh... that was close. The shield can't take much more. You okay, Flit?"
Wyverncakes (23:17:00): Flit: "Aaaaaaaaaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:00): "... Flit?"
Drascin (23:17:06): *Yeah, Ashe has more than enough with dodging that avalanche of laser knives (how does that even work) right now, putting all her acrobatics to the test as she jumps, weaves, and rolls across the field like a gymnast+
Wyverncakes (23:17:49): AGE-1's blown backwards, parts of its shield destroyed and its right arm hanging loosely from the shoulder joints.
Overman Zappa (23:17:54): "Hey! Flit!" Banjou moves his Genoace to get between the AGE and the Baqto...
tengusaur (23:17:58): Ashe avoids the attack, partially because Bumblebee got in the way... He's thrown back, the rubble in his hands crushed, and with a rather bad gash on his chest!
VJockey (23:18:30): B: "Aghk! N.. not the best idea!"
tengusaur (23:18:44): Also, some of the destroyed enemies around you are raising from the ground again as zombies. Including one zombie Gafran, with a huge hole in its chest...
Drascin (23:18:45): Model A: Hey! Giant robot guy! Is he okay?
Ashe: I don't know! Giant robot guy, are you alright?
tengusaur (23:19:00): Vulturon: "What's this?You forgotten about me?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:07): Izuru: "These enemies are much stronger than the last time!"
VJockey (23:19:20): B: "Not trying to be funny here, but I could really use a hand, or two if you can spare 'em!"
Drascin (23:19:22): Ashe: Kind of hard to do that when you keep blasting that noise!
tormterra (23:19:22): Kei: "Flit, Bumblebee, are you okay? And everyone, keep distance from the new UE."
tengusaur (23:19:31): And then, you get a transmission.
tengusaur (23:19:37): Vargas: "Flit! Flit, can you hear me?"
Wyverncakes (23:19:42): Flit: "But from a range, nothing can-"
Wyverncakes (23:19:44): "V-Vargas!"
Wyverncakes (23:19:51): "The UE are attacking again!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:54): Izuru: "We need to take care of that bird rocker..."
tengusaur (23:20:43): Vargas: "I know! Listen, Flit. After the battles with the Zentraedi and the Noise, where the DODS Rifle proved ineffective, I was working on a new weapon. And the Builder system has finished it now."
tengusaur (23:20:56): Vargas: "I'm sending it to you as we speak! Catch it!"
Wyverncakes (23:21:15): Flit: "Something... even stronger than the DODS Rifle?"
tengusaur (23:21:30): Vargas: "Yes."
tormterra (23:21:30): Kei: "Physical weapons an work at longer range too."
tengusaur (23:21:45): Flit can see something moving in the sky between the buildings already!
tengusaur (23:21:54): Vargas: "Gundam AGE-1 Titus."
tengusaur (23:23:41): Enemy List: Cannonwalker x4, Zombie Galleon x8, Web Bolt x9, Gyrocutter x10, King Flyer, Vulturon [light damage], Zombie King Flyer, Gafran x7, Zombie Gafran, Baqto x3 [1 damaged], Siarnaq [light damage]
tengusaur (23:23:52): (Ashe, Flit, Optimus, go)
VJockey (23:24:39): Optimus: "Kei, I'm having Bumblebee retreat. He won't be able to continue fighting here, not with what we're up against."
cubey@aol.pl (23:25:53): (test)
VJockey (23:26:26): [Bumblebee looks to argue against this but ups his shut. Optimus' expression looked dire indeed as he gave a nod in compliace to the order and got the heck out of dodge.]
tormterra (23:26:43): Kei: "Understood. We need to cover him as he does so."
Drascin (23:26:46): Ashe (musing to herself): Okay, so he can ninja vanish, and multiply, and throw laser knives that make no sense. Hmmmm...
VJockey (23:28:29): "Red Alert. Cover me!" *Optimus is rushing towards Vulturon, regardless of any enemies between him as he readies his arm axe, using enemies as stepping stones to get more height as he leaps up to bring his axe down upon the rocker bot's own!&
Drascin (23:28:56): *Well, let's try for a trick. Ashe runs to the side, getting a lock on Siarnaq before losing herself in a corner - and coming from the sky as Buckfire a second later, roaring...!&
Wyverncakes (23:29:55): On the other side of things though... Flit moves towards Vargas's delivery, springing into the air!
tengusaur (23:30:17): "Ha ha, take this!" Vulturon stops headbanging for a moment (he constantly does that, just for the reckon) to bring his axe to meet with Optimus', in a clash that causes a loud thunder-like sound! But he's not playing fair, because at the same time he directs the drones to shoot projectiles at the Autobot leader! (react/continue)
Wyverncakes (23:30:53): After holstering its DODS Rifle on its back, the AGE-1 ejects its arms and legs before the new, bulky ones drop down, gliding into place and connecting!
tengusaur (23:31:52): Seeing a giant gazelle-robot descending towards him, Siarnaq dodges back, sending another purple shuriken spinning at Ashe! (react/continue)
Wyverncakes (23:32:14): It lands with a heavy impact, standing up again at the various enemies!
Wyverncakes (23:32:17): http://images.wikia.com/gundam/images/archive/4/41/20120316043927!Age1-titus.png
Overman Zappa (23:32:19): Banjou: "That's certainly a fancy trick. I should look into Daitarn with interchangable parts sometime.
Wyverncakes (23:32:23): Flit: "AGE-1... Titus..."
tengusaur (23:32:50): Watch out, Flit! The UE have noticed a new enemy and are moving in already!
cubey@aol.pl (23:34:05): # Optimus
Drascin (23:34:07): *...except that by the time the shuriken is launched there is no giant gazelle, just a much tinier girl in a Mega Man suit turning in the air with a shit eating grin.
Ashe: Surprise!
-and she lets go of the lightning bolts she had locked on before, which converge on the Model P Mega Man!+
tengusaur (23:34:24): (approved!)
cubey@aol.pl (23:34:46): Izuru: "Mr OPTIMUUUS!"
VJockey (23:35:02): *Well this is going to be tricky. The timing is going to be difficult as all hell here and he may get hit a few times regardless, but he's going to hook his axe onto the neck of Vulturon's guitar and attempt to pull both himself and the instrument away!+
VJockey (23:35:05): "!"
VJockey (23:35:09): "Izuru!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:30): *With this battle cry, Red Five falls from the skies. Good luck facing Optimus's axe if it's backed up by a giant chain sword!+
Wyverncakes (23:35:33): Flit: "If you want to fight up close... I'm all game now!"
Wyverncakes (23:35:43): http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Tatakai+No+Kakugo/4zICCw?src=5
tengusaur (23:37:09): Siarnaq's shuriken hits pretty much nothing! Then, the robotic ninja is hit by the lightning blasts, his dodge attempt completely futile! He's standing there for a moment, zapped by the electricity!
tengusaur (23:37:25): Siarnaq: "H...HIGH DAMAGE SUSTAINED..."
Wyverncakes (23:37:27): * AGE-1 charges forward with its fists clenched tightly, and with an angry cry Flit has the Gundam spring into the air! "You... should have never come back! Not today, not in seven years!" And AGE-1 plunges at one of the Baqtos with a meaty punch!+
tengusaur (23:38:53): A single weapon is no match against two, and Vulturon's guitar is pulled out of his hands, while the robot itself is thrown away and smashes into a nearby wall! He drops to the ground, heavily damaged.
tengusaur (23:39:12): Vulturon: "Ahh! How am I supposed to party on now?"
tengusaur (23:40:09): The first Baqto met by AGE-1, previously already damaged, now gets hit by that strong punch, which causes a big hole in its armor!
tengusaur (23:40:14): The Baqto blows up!
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:17): Izuru: "Do this kind of thing at home, not on the battlefield!"
tormterra (23:40:37): Kei: "You aren't. And is destroying a city really a party?"
tengusaur (23:40:50): Two Gafrans are already descending towards Titus, trying to stab it with beam sabers emerging from their wrists! (react)
Wyverncakes (23:40:51): Flit: "Yes!"
Overman Zappa (23:41:04): #Flit
tengusaur (23:41:34): Vulturon: "A party of destruction!" He teleports to his guitar and lifts it, but it looks heavily damaged. It doesn't seem like he can control the zombie-robots now, and they collapse.
tengusaur (23:41:37): (approved)
tengusaur (23:41:46): (Izuru, Kei, Banjou)
Wyverncakes (23:42:01): More UE suits trying to get in close! It didn't take long for Flit to look through what Titus could do, and not only that know what he needed to do in reponse!
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:30): Izuru: "It's over for you!"
tormterra (23:43:01): * "The enemy Megaman and the leader of the Mavericks are down. Autobots, use your numbers to cut them off and take them out before they can recover from their falls." +
Overman Zappa (23:43:14): *Banjou moves to Flit's 6 and starts shooting away at the descending Gafrans, since the DODS will surely work on those punks!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:18): *As Vulturon backs away through teleportation, the red AHSMB follows by flying through the air normally! The headbanging robot gets a slash with the chainsword for its troubles, but as Izuru passes him - there comes another stab from an offhand forearm blade!+
tengusaur (23:43:59): (take the Kei action)
Drascin (23:44:11): Ashe: I don't think Siarnaq is completely down, Kei!
Wyverncakes (23:44:16): * "Beam lariats online!" Around both of the Gundam's wrists a DODS-style beam formed in the shape of a ring! As the Gafrands charged Flit backhanded into each blade to knock it off-course, and subsequently smash his knee into one of the Gafrans!+
tormterra (23:45:07): Kei: "I don't either, but he's knocked down and much less mobile than before, giving us the opportunity to strike before he can recover."
Drascin (23:45:22): Still, she looks to the enemy megaman, pointing a gun at him - but not finishing him off
Ashe: You! Tell me! Why does the Model A Mega Man have to die?! What is that Game Prometheus said he shoved me into?
tengusaur (23:46:02): Flit's defense is successful, and none of the beam blades even scratch Titus - the Lariats catch them! And then, beam blades emerge from the knee as Flit smashes it into the Gafran, causing the enemy to explode!
tengusaur (23:46:39): The other Gafran is blown up by a DODS rifle shot from Banjou. It cannot protect itself at the moment, being engaged in melee with Titus.
tengusaur (23:47:56): Siarnaq: "NEGATIVE. SHARING OF INFORMATION, DENIED."
tengusaur (23:48:14): He disappears into darkness and appears on a nearby wall, ready to fight again.
Wyverncakes (23:48:20): Flit: "Mr. Haran, than yoU!"
Wyverncakes (23:48:21): ^you
tengusaur (23:48:38): (Banjou can still take his own action)
Overman Zappa (23:48:45): Banjou: "Please, no need for formalities"
tengusaur (23:48:56): (will wait for the result of Izuru's action after the Autobots move)
Overman Zappa (23:49:47): *Though it's risky business to even try, since buildings, Banjou takes a shot at the Model P as it perches on the wall of a building.+
Drascin (23:50:04): Model A: Come on! We were asking ncely!
Ashe: No more miss Nice Hunter it is, then.
Wyverncakes (23:50:28): Flit: "Ashe, Optimus Prime... how are things fairing against the other enemies?"
VJockey (23:50:59): *Well to be honest there were only three Autobots but- wait, scratch that... Blaster brought out his cassettes to play! The Autobots moved to cordon off the Mavericks and lay down some fire!+
VJockey (23:51:11): "As well as could be expected Flit! Don't worry about us!"
tengusaur (23:51:24): Banjou's shot hits the wall, causing Siarnaq to jump off it quickly! The metallic rubble comes falling down, destroying several Gyrocutters.
Drascin (23:51:39): Ashe: We're managing. I've been in worse spots
tengusaur (23:51:48): As he jumps off, Siarnaq throws several laser kunai right at Banjou's machine! (react)
tengusaur (23:52:27): Other Mavericks try to support this fire... But the Autobots thin their numbers down considerably with their barrage!
tengusaur (23:52:43): Pretty much the only one that remains now is the fly...
tengusaur (23:53:15): Which flies around, repeatedly spitting projectiles as whatever is close! This means Optimus and company, and Purple Two! (react)
tengusaur (23:53:36): As for Vulturon...
tengusaur (23:54:06): He raises his guitar to defend, and starts playing it, creating a sound wave which rumbles through Red Five...
tengusaur (23:54:15): But the chain saw cuts right through it!
Overman Zappa (23:54:19): *So used to using his body as it's own shield, but remembering this time he's not in Daitarn, he just put his his arms and the rifle up in his defense.
tengusaur (23:54:43): The vulture-like robot tries to evade, counting on the mavericks to provide cover fire, but none comes.
tengusaur (23:54:55): The second blade stabs right through Vulturon's chest!
tormterra (23:55:01): * Sitting in a giant, flying hunk of metal didn't lend itself particularly well to dodging a large spray of projectiles. Hunkering down behind her shield, Kei fired her electrified spike at the enemy to stop its movements and leave it open to attack from others. +
tengusaur (23:55:25): Vulturon: "Argh! This was supposed to be your last song... Not mine...!"
tengusaur (23:55:35): And then he blows up!
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:55): Izuru: "I did it." He stares forward as the robot explodes behind him.
tengusaur (23:57:02): A small glowy object emerges from where Vulturon used to be, and floats in the sky. Well, perhaps "a piece of data" is more accurate.
tengusaur (23:58:09): Blocking this kind of attack is not a very good idea when using a fragile mech like the Genoace - the knives cut deeply into the Mobile Suit's arms, also damaging its rifle!
tengusaur (23:58:23): (Ashe, Flit, Optimus)
Drascin (23:58:26): Model A: ...wait, these guys actually have- Ashe, get that!
tengusaur (23:58:28): (Optimus gotta react first)
Drascin (23:58:33): Ashe: On it!
Wyverncakes (23:59:06): (Enemies left?)
tengusaur (23:59:18): Kei's electrified spike stops King FLyer for now, in that it attached Purple Two to it. The shots shake her mech, however, even if most of them don't penetrate the shield.
tengusaur (23:59:30): Enemy List: King Flyer, Gafran x5, Baqto x2, Siarnaq [medium damage]
VJockey (23:59:38): *Optimus and Red Alert quickly transform and drive for their lives, Blaster and the Cassettes scatter as they ducked and covered!+
20 August 2014
tengusaur (00:00:42): Optimus gets hit by one of the shots, causing some damage to his truck form and trailer, but the other Autobots manage fine.
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:13): Izuru: "Ah!" It's like he snapped out of Juria System-caused trance.
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:18): "Is everyone alright?"
tormterra (00:01:50): Kei: "Mostly."
Wyverncakes (00:01:58): * With Optimus and Ashe's assurance that things were going okay -along with the defeat of the vulture Maverick- Flit keeps focusing on the UE attackers! Titus lunges at one of the remaining Baqtos, but rather than simply smash it to pieces, he moves to grab hold of its arms!&
VJockey (00:03:16): "Minor damage... nothing to worry about..."
tengusaur (00:04:00): Flit catches a Baqto! Before he can put it into a pokeball, the Baqto tries to break free by firing a handheld beam rifle at Titus, at point blank! (react/continue)
VJockey (00:05:26): *In any case, Optimus' semi-damaged trailer opens up as the turret rears up to send a pair of missiles at the fly!+
Wyverncakes (00:05:44): * And then it happens again. That same kind of pressure he feels, a sense of a course of action he needs to take! As fast as he can the Gundam smacks away the Baqto's arm to try to knock the beam shot off-course, right ideally throwing the Baqto at its sibling machine so Flit can shoulder-charge the both of them!+
tengusaur (00:07:03): King Flier is heavily damaged, but not destroyed! This thing needs a bit more push to blow up... Fortunately it cannot shoot back at the moment, too busy being kept on a leash, so to speak.
Drascin (00:07:20): And indeed, Ashe zooms off, jumping atop a billboard, turning into Buckfire, and bouncing between buildings with rocket powered feet before touching the data cluster
Model A: Yeah! That saves me a lot of trouble! New A-Trans!
Ashe: Really? Well tha gives an idea!
...and so Ashe lands with a thump and runs straight at Siarnaq, blasting him with laser shots while running in the open, totally open to a counterattack with his kunais...&
tengusaur (00:08:54): Flit smashes the Baqtos one into another! The beam still grazes him, but it doesn't do much to Titus' heavy armor. And then, the beams emerge from the Mobile Suit's shoulder, piercing through both Baqtos and destroying them completely!
tengusaur (00:09:37): Siarnaq, seeing Ashe shooting at him, dodges to the side, zooming in mid-air at great speed, and throws a bunch of kunai at her, pretty much as expecte! (react/continue)
Wyverncakes (00:09:39): Flit: "That's all three of the bigger ones down!"
tengusaur (00:09:45): (Izuru, Kei, Banjou, go)
tengusaur (00:09:59): Enemy List: King Flyer [heavy damage], Gafran x5, Siarnaq [medium damage]
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:01): Izuru: "You really got them good!"
tormterra (00:10:52): * Seeing the fly just barely hanging on, Kei reeled it in towards her, firing her gatlings as she did so, cutting the wire in the last minute to blast off and get some distance again. As she did so, she kept her gatlings aimed at the robot and kept firing to make sure it went down. +
cubey@aol.pl (00:11:23): *Red Five's main gun changes its configuration into the large beam launcher. The enemies are airborne, aren't they? That means Izuru can target them from the ground without having to worry about collateral damage.
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:17): * "Red Five, attacking! Here I go!" The beam fires at Gafrans, threatening to overwhelm them with its width and explosive power.+
Drascin (00:12:53): *...andinstead of dodging, Ashe straight up jumps into the path of the kunais. Except mid flight there suddenly isn't any Ashe. There's Vulturon, who blasts a note so powerful it might as well be a shield, plinking the knives away as the momentum directs him like a cannonball straight into Siarnaq-
Vulturon: You like music? Then here's some heavy metal!
-and slams his guitar right into his face with enough power to make a certain Haruko wince about excessive force+
Overman Zappa (00:14:21): *Banjou puts what's left of the rifle to work by firing at as many Gafran as he can hit... and as soon as it seems the thing won't work anymore, he lobs it at them as well!
tengusaur (00:15:45): King Flyer is riddled with bullets, and it already took quite a lot of damage before, making it impossible to shoot back now. The fly-like robot is overwhelmed and crashes into the ground, blowing up.
tengusaur (00:17:02): The powerful beam cannonade fired at the Gafran's by Izuru and Banjou catches three of them in the crossfire, and they explode! Only two UE units are left... And instead of fighting, they take off into the sky, retreating quickly!
tengusaur (00:17:38): As for Siarnaq...
tengusaur (00:17:59): His knifes go off their course, thrown off by the powerful sonic barrier!
tengusaur (00:18:59): And then his head is smashed with a guitar with great force, pretty much making a large crater, with the ninja-like Megaman in the center!
tengusaur (00:19:16): Siarnaq tries to get up, and only manages to do so on one leg.
Drascin (00:19:33): Ashe turns back into herself on landing
tengusaur (00:19:48): Siarnaq: "CRITICAL DAMAGE... SUSTAINED... CONTINUED COMBAT, NOT POSSIBLE..."
Drascin (00:19:56): Ashe: NOW are you willing to tell me? Come on, we can work something out.
tengusaur (00:20:21): Siarnaq: "...NEGATIVE. COMMENCING RETREAT."
tengusaur (00:20:33): Suddenly, his body is covered by a thick cloud of darkness!
Drascin (00:20:45): Ashe: Wait wha- hey! Hey!
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:48): Izuru: "Everyone's trying to flee?"
Drascin (00:20:59): Ashe tries to tackle Siarnaq into immobility
tengusaur (00:21:17): Ashe jumps into the cloud, dispersing it. But Siarnaq is already gone.
Drascin (00:21:36): Ashe: Argh! Come on!
VJockey (00:21:47): [Optimus transforms back into robot mode, brushing the area he got shot.]
Drascin (00:21:51): Model A: Well, at least we won, right-
VJockey (00:21:54): "Is everyone alright?"
tormterra (00:22:08): Kei: "Well, the ones who remained, most enemies have been destroyed. Regardless, the city is safe and we're all alive."
tengusaur (00:22:26): But on the bright side, the battle is won. All of the enemies are destroyed or escaped, and the place didn't suffer much damage. Also, Ashe can copy the data of Siarnaq now! But...
Overman Zappa (00:22:27): Banjou: "I think I wrecked another machine but I'm doing fine otherwise.
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:29): Izuru: "Looks like it. We won!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:40): Izuru: "Great job!"
Wyverncakes (00:22:40): Flit: "We did..."
Wyverncakes (00:22:47): "And... and the city's okay!"
Wyverncakes (00:23:37): The UE becoming active so soon again made Flit worry... but he'd been ready for them. The AGE System had been ready for them!
Drascin (00:23:57): well, sorry to interrupt, but
Drascin (00:24:03): Ashe starts screaming. In her mind, Model A is too.
Drascin (00:24:34): Something is happening inside him and it's NOT pleasant, and Siarnaq triggered it, and it's all she can to fall to her knees and grab her head.
tengusaur (00:24:39): Absorbing Siarnaq's data, for some reason, causes horrible pain to both of them!
Wyverncakes (00:24:45): Flit: "A-Ashe!"
Drascin (00:24:46): Ashe: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:58): Izuru: "Ashe!?"
tengusaur (00:25:01): The reason might have with the fact that Ashe starts to hear a voice in her head...
tengusaur (00:25:06): An unlocked memory of some kind...?
tengusaur (00:25:23): ???: "......Congratulations. The Model A which I created is protected by a cipher that is broken only in battle. You, who broke the first cipher, are worthy to know its truth and power. Through my research of the lost technology, I have created a key to unlock the door to a new evolution. Biometal Model W... He who holds it, will hold the power to rule the world. "
Drascin (00:25:36): Ashe: Wh... what...?
tengusaur (00:25:47): ???: "But it will take much time before people will finally appreciate my work. Sacrifices are necessary to awaken Model W. Model Ws which I have hidden throughout the world are waiting to be awakened. Waiting for when the one who understands my work appears, to receive the power. And so I've decided to select a new Chosen One suitable for Model W, the next step in evolution. Finding a suitable candidate in this world is nearly impossible, I know this."
tormterra (00:25:48): Kei: "Ashe, what's wrong?...We need to get her to a doctor...Or maybe a mechanic as soon as possible." Hopefully she fould find some place still operating in the city
tengusaur (00:26:01): ???: "But I can do it, because as one of Legion's Sage Trinity, I know everything about the world..."
Drascin (00:26:17): Ashe is breathing heavily
tengusaur (00:26:18): The message ends. So does Ashe's pain.
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:19): Izuru: "She's not a robot! I think..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:36): Red Five flies in close to Ashe, but carefully. Last thing we need is a collision.
Drascin (00:26:54): Ashe: Model A... what was that? (the rest of the group is momentarily forgotten)
Model A: A... memory, I think? Like something I had locked in me?
tormterra (00:26:59): Kei: "No, but that thing appears to be some kind of robot suit or power armor or similar."
Drascin (00:27:13): Ashe: But... what it said?
Model A: Yeah...
Drascin (00:27:18): Ashe gets up unsteadily
Drascin (00:27:33): Ashe: ...guys. We have to go meet the Sages
Wyverncakes (00:27:49): Flit: "But... we were going to do that already, right?"
Drascin (00:27:50): Ashe: The one who made the Biometals and the Mega Man. It's one of them.
Wyverncakes (00:27:57): "What?!?"
VJockey (00:28:04): Red Alert: "Not directly! That's a bad idea!"
Wyverncakes (00:28:10): "But... then he'd be responsible for all of the damage then!"
tormterra (00:28:26): Kei:"Right...Wait, what? We should avoid confronting them for now, we're in the middle of the city and would head into their stronghold."
Drascin (00:28:35): Ashe: It's... sme kind of locked memory. In Model A. Beating Siarnaq unlocked it.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:57): Izuru: "Are you serious?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:12): He tries to consider the implications of it all!
Drascin (00:29:18): Ashe: No! What are you, kidding! One of these people is a maniac talking about taking control of the world! I'm not going home and taking a cup of tea while that is happening!
Drascin (00:29:35): Ashe: I'm going to confront them! You can come or not, your choice!
Overman Zappa (00:29:57): Banjou: "While you have a point, you can't go in there unprepared. Nor can we."
tengusaur (00:30:12): It's pretty obvious where the Three Sages are...
tengusaur (00:30:17): Remember this building?
tengusaur (00:30:18): http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081128014431/megaman/images/d/d0/ZXALegionHQ.jpg
tormterra (00:30:28): Kei: "...You don't know which one it is or if it's all three of them and we've sustained damage in battle and are just a small detachment of Unity Group forces."
tengusaur (00:30:31): This is the main tower of the whole HQ.
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:34): Izuru: "I won't let you go there alone, you know."
tengusaur (00:30:58): They've gotta be on the top floor.
VJockey (00:31:31): Optimus: "Neither will I."
Drascin (00:31:39): Ashe: Then come on! Give me a lift, I have way too much of a headache for all those stairs
Model A: Um, you know, the thing with caution they're pointing out...
(Ashe pointedly ignores that)
VJockey (00:32:12): [Red Alert has a look that goes beyond disgruntled as little sparks seem to fly off his head.]
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:20): Izuru: "We're only going to talk, not to fight." He picks Ashe up - and up they go!
Wyverncakes (00:32:21): Flit: "Whoever did all of this... we have to make them asnwer for what they did!"
VJockey (00:32:26): [Seriously he just looks like he's trying to hold back a tsunami of curses.]
tengusaur (00:32:55): Izuru and Ashe fly straight up, to the top of the tower!
tengusaur (00:33:01): What awaits you there?
tormterra (00:33:06): Kei didn't say anything more, just wordlessly joining Izuru and Ashe in their reckless charge
tengusaur (00:33:27): (It's a good idea to grab Optimus, considering he can't fly.)
tengusaur (00:33:31): But in any case...
Overman Zappa (00:33:38): Busted as the Genoace is, Banjou tags along. It's mostly the arms that are a wreck, not the whole thing.
tengusaur (00:33:46): At the top of the tower, in the main command chamber...
tengusaur (00:33:58): The three sages are discussing something.
tengusaur (00:34:09): Mikhail: "Gah! I can't stand Mavericks!"
tengusaur (00:34:22): Thomas: "I still find it hard to believe that they're cooperating."
tengusaur (00:34:31): Albert: "Perhaps they are taking orders from a leader?"
tengusaur (00:34:53): Mikhail: "And what do they want? Make enemies with every nation in the world?"
tengusaur (00:35:08): Albert: "Maybe they are just... fed up with the world."
tengusaur (00:35:14): Thomas: "...What?"
tengusaur (00:35:31): Albert: "A new rule... For the evolution of the ultimate Mega Man..."
tengusaur (00:35:48): Albert: "And there's one scientist who wants to see that evolution through, to its very end."
tengusaur (00:36:05): Mikhail: "What are you saying?! No... You didn't...!"
tengusaur (00:36:31): Albert: "I have a propasal. A system to come up with fair solutions, based on the doctrine of the Sage Trinity."
tengusaur (00:36:54): You can hear this whole conversation, thanks to sensors. But only can do you actually see them!
tengusaur (00:37:06): Albert: "If you're opposed, then just try and stop me..."
tengusaur (00:37:25): You can see that there are four Biometals flying around Albert! But they look different than Model A...
tengusaur (00:37:50): He's standing by the window, on the other side of the tower. The other two Sages are away from him, shocked.
tengusaur (00:38:40): Thomas: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:42): Izuru: "You were actually a bad guy all along? Don't worry, master Thomas and Mikhail, we'll save you!"
tengusaur (00:39:09): Mikhail: "Ahah! Here they are! Right on time!"
Drascin (00:39:10): And Ashe jumps inbetween Albert and the other two
Drascin (00:39:25): Ashe: Don't mind if we do, then, you crazy weirdo!
Wyverncakes (00:39:30): Flit: "You..."
tengusaur (00:39:32): Albert grins like a madman!
tengusaur (00:39:33): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101015005502/megaman/images/1/15/ZXAAlbert.png
tormterra (00:39:47): Kei: "...Did he just reveal himself right after his underlings lost the battle?"
Wyverncakes (00:40:12): "You talk about grand things and improving the world, but all I have to do is look outside and see all the death you're responsible for!"
VJockey (00:40:13): "He would not do that unless he had a plan."
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:30): Izuru: "You have nowhere to run. Surrender!" With its both arms free, Red Five grabs for the beam handguns and aims them at Albert.
tengusaur (00:40:31): Albert: "Winning the battle was never the intention. A cipher was already broken. I wanted to stall for longer... But she's developing faster than I expected."
tengusaur (00:40:40): Albert: "Excellent, Ashe! It pleases me!"
Drascin (00:40:48): Ashe: Wait what?!
Wyverncakes (00:41:02): Along with Izuru, Flit brings his DODS Rifle to bear on Albert as well!
tormterra (00:41:16): Kei: "You do know that there is substantial firepower and long-range communications right here, right?"
tengusaur (00:41:25): Albert: "I know everything about you, Ashe! As if you were my own daughter. I want you to grow! Evolve! Show me your strength!"
tormterra (00:41:52): And with that, she sent her recordings of things back to her superiors at Unity Group. They could probably win, or at least successfully retreat, but it didn't hurt
Wyverncakes (00:41:54): Flit: "You're talking about an actual person, you monster!"
Drascin (00:41:59): Ashe: Shut up!
Drascin (00:42:15): *And Ase is going to basiclaly shoot Albert in the face+
tengusaur (00:42:32): (anyone wants to do the same thing?)
Wyverncakes (00:42:49): You better believe Flit's joining in on the shooting!+
tormterra (00:43:34): (Kei isn't. It seems ludicrously dangerous to shooting autofire gatlings into a hostage situation)
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:54): Izuru hesitates... but doesn't. Albert didn't do anything except gloat yet, it wouldn't be heroic to shoot at an unarmed person like that.
tormterra (00:44:34): Kei was just sitting there as well, there were other people in the room and her gatlings weren't exactly precision weaponry
VJockey (00:44:34): *Optimus keeps his weapon ready as he hangs onto the AGE but doesn't fire, not yet... something about this situation is too off...+
Overman Zappa (00:44:39): Banjou is analyzing the situation while his slightly younger compatriots do the trigger pulling.
tengusaur (00:44:44): Albert laughs and raises his hands, causing a shield to appear between the Biometals! The shots hit it and are stopped cold, completely! The only thing they do is break the windows behind him.
tengusaur (00:44:57): Albert starts to hover in mid-air, slowly moving backwards.
tengusaur (00:45:17): Albert: "We will meet again, Ashe. You are, after all, made in my image..."
Wyverncakes (00:45:40): "Arrrgh.... get back here!"
tengusaur (00:45:48): Thomas: "Wai- get down!"
tengusaur (00:46:04): Suddenly, a huge explosion shakes the whole highest level of the tower!
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:17): Izuru: "Aaah!"
Drascin (00:46:33): Ashe: What the heck are you even talking about-?!
And then her Hunter instincts ping and she dives to the ground
tengusaur (00:47:14): After that explosion, what's left of the room is full of thick smoke...
tengusaur (00:47:31): Albert is nowhere to be found...
VJockey (00:47:52): "...He couldn't have gone far..."
tormterra (00:48:06): Kei threw herself between herself and the others to try to shield them with her own shield. "Unless her can teleport in some way."
VJockey (00:48:12): "Red Alert and Blaster are still at ground level, I can have them comb the area."
tengusaur (00:48:35): Thomas: *cough* "Everyone, are you alive?"
Drascin (00:48:49): Ashe: Aaaaargh! What WAS up with that guy?! And why was he creeping on me so much?
tengusaur (00:48:57): Mikhail: "Albert... I can't believe he was a traitor...!"
tormterra (00:49:00): Kei: "I don't have information on everyone in the tower, but we are...And do you really want to know, Ashe?"
tengusaur (00:49:01): Thomas: "..."
Drascin (00:49:17): Model A is just kind of silent
tengusaur (00:49:31): The two sages emerge from the smoke, not exactly unscathed but alive.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:36): Izuru: "He can't be planning anything good now..."
Drascin (00:49:37): Ashe: And what dd he mean made in his image? I'm nothing like that guy!
Wyverncakes (00:49:43): Flit: "That man..."
Wyverncakes (00:49:51): "How could he just... do all of that?!?"
tengusaur (00:50:00): Thomas: "Ashe. We will have to talk later."
Drascin (00:50:15): Ashe: What for?
tengusaur (00:50:55): Thomas: "Important matters. Don't worry, you're not in trouble. If anything, I want to help."
VJockey (00:51:00): "We will not know for certain without investigating."
VJockey (00:51:07): "But we will find out Flit."
tormterra (00:51:14): Kei: "How much do you know about your past..." She fell silent for a bit, continuing in a private line with Ashe. "You might be a genetically engineered clone or similar.
tengusaur (00:51:50): Mikhail: "I know it's a bad time... But thanks for your help."
tengusaur (00:52:37): And on that note...
tengusaur (00:52:39): MISSION COMPLETE
Drascin (00:53:07): Ashe: Fine, then. We'll talk later, Master Thomas.
