VJockey 10:02 am
(10:02:44 AM): Well everyone, today's off to a good start isn't it?
(10:02:50 AM): Howling wind and rain outside.
(10:03:31 AM): The shuttle rattling as it begins to close in on Brussels for you all to assist with the evacuation while the UN tried to deal with whoever was attacking the city.
wyverncakes 10:04 am
(10:04:10 AM): Selena's having Elma continue monitoring weather patterns, to let everyone know if/when things get better or worse.
VJockey 10:04 am
(10:04:24 AM): If you look outside of the shuttle you could see sections of the city aflame
(10:04:33 AM): while others were sporadically lit up with gunfire
Overman Zappa 10:04 am
(10:04:37 AM): Garrod: "So who wants to bet lunch that we're here to do all the work?"
ZebulonCrispi 10:04 am
(10:05:00 AM): Suma: "I don't bet against outcomes I'm hoping for."
tengusaur 10:05 am
(10:05:06 AM): Roger: "Attacking a civilian city... It goes without saying that whoever is behind this is not a gentleman."
(10:05:18 AM): Roger: "Do we know anything about the enemy?"
VJockey 10:06 am
(10:06:02 AM): Shuttle Pilot: "Nothing at all, No updates from the troops on the ground and the weather's making it hard to get any visuals or concrete scans..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:06 am
(10:06:22 AM): Ren stands in front of the genoace, hands closed together and head lowered as if in prayer.
(10:06:39 AM): "Please hang in there, everyone. It will be over soon..."
wyverncakes 10:06 am
(10:06:53 AM): Selena: "They certainly picked a day for this though..."
wyverncakes 10:07 am
(10:07:07 AM): Albhard: "You hoping that or knowing it, Ren?"
VJockey 10:07 am
(10:07:15 AM): "We'll be landing soon so I suggest you guys get prepped. And watch your fire down there, we're here to make sure we get people out of the worst of the fighting not pull them into it."
cubey@aol.pl 10:09 am
(10:09:01 AM): Ren: "Truth to be told... it doesn't really make a difference, does it?"
ZebulonCrispi 10:09 am
(10:09:08 AM): Suma: "The brave heroes of the Unity Group, swooping in at the darkest hour to protect the weak once more."
(10:09:25 AM): Suma summons Sefet.
wyverncakes 10:09 am
(10:09:41 AM): Selena: "I guess not..."
Overman Zappa 10:09 am
(10:09:43 AM): Garrod: "Sounds like another day's work. Man to think how far i've come..
tengusaur 10:09 am
(10:09:59 AM): Roger: "'I'm ready. This city doesn't deserve such treatment." He climbs up to Big O's chest and enters the cockpit, which closes behind him. "Big O, action!"
VJockey 10:10 am
(10:10:03 AM): As the shuttle closes into the ground you could see convoys of people moving towards an evac convoy along with a few assorted guard mecha... the shuttle lands in an empty spot close by and the hatch opens up...
wyverncakes 10:10 am
(10:10:04 AM): Scooping up Elma -and getting a cry of surprise from him-, Selena heads to the Gesterben while Albhard hops in the Grungust!
VJockey 10:10 am
(10:10:51 AM): For those not inside any machines you would feel the wind all but blast against you with surging force as rain hammered against you.
cubey@aol.pl 10:11 am
(10:11:48 AM): "Ah!" Ren is surprised by the strength of the torrent and falls back a step, before regaining footing - and knowing better, quickly runs up to the mobile suit's cockpit.
VJockey 10:12 am
(10:12:04 AM): UN Pilot 1: "You the Unity Group Guys? Thank god... We've been sitting on pins and needles waiting to be relieved for hours..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:12 am
(10:12:35 AM): Ren: "Everything is going to be alright now. You did well. Thank you."
VJockey 10:13 am
(10:13:10 AM): Alex... you're probably caught along in the crowd moving along to get out of there. How are you holding up?
Overman Zappa 10:13 am
(10:13:16 AM): Garrod: "You know... I wonder what the science is with rain not really helping put out the fires..." Famous, meaningless last words before taking off.
wyverncakes 10:13 am
(10:13:38 AM): Elma: "Well that is easy..."
tengusaur 10:13 am
(10:13:44 AM): "We're here to deal with the attackers. Who are they?", Roger asks as Big O keeps moving forward, looking around for hostiles, the massive shields at ready to protect allies and civilians from them.
VJockey 10:14 am
(10:14:33 AM): UN Pilot 1: "Hard to say... they look like mobile suits from what I've heard but the weight distribution in the sihlouettes was all wrong."
wyverncakes 10:14 am
(10:14:54 AM): "So long as a fire burns hot enough and the heat isn't disappated quickly enough, an object can burn even if it were underwate!"
(10:14:58 AM): ^water
(10:15:12 AM): Selena: "Elma, less science lessons, more monitoring."
(10:15:20 AM): "R-roger!"
tengusaur 10:15 am
(10:15:32 AM): Roger: "Hmm?"
Overman Zappa 10:15 am
(10:15:42 AM): Garrod: "That's... actually a scary thought..." So then why don't beams work underwater... Also unimportant and probably the worst time to verbally ask the question.
tormterra 10:17 am
(10:17:11 AM): Alex was caught well and truly up in the gridlock that always happened when you tried to empty a city at once. At least she'd been fortunate enough to have been outside and had the chance to grab a coat to help her withstand the elements. Shielding her face against the wind, she looked ahead to see how far it was to the shelters
VJockey 10:18 am
(10:18:14 AM): Not that far actually. The Crowd was moving along at a decent pace and the UN mecha waiting close by helped keep people calm, as did the sight of the newly arrived Unity Group machines.
(10:18:25 AM): After all with all this firepower they were probably safe...
(10:18:26 AM): right?
(10:18:34 AM): Selena! Elma!
wyverncakes 10:18 am
(10:18:56 AM): Elma: "Aah! Selena!"
VJockey 10:19 am
(10:19:06 AM): Despite the weather generally playing havoc on sensors you've got contacts moving in
ZebulonCrispi 10:19 am
(10:19:35 AM): Suma: "Here they come!"
wyverncakes 10:19 am
(10:19:53 AM): Selena: "... Everyone, we have company moving in! Elma, put everything you can into long-range sensors!"
tormterra 10:20 am
(10:20:25 AM): She relaxed a bit, or at least as much as she could in this weather, looked like she'd be safe soon. Hopefully everybody had been brought to safety and it would only be material damage to deal with afterwards
wyverncakes 10:20 am
(10:20:41 AM): No desire to have civilians get massacred by oncoming enemies, but also no desire to shoot first and cause friendly fire.
VJockey 10:20 am
(10:20:46 AM): UN Pilot 1: "Shhhh- Damnit! The forward patrols were supposed to be keeping this area clear-"
tengusaur 10:21 am
(10:21:09 AM): Roger: "Looks like this is our job now. Here they come!"
VJockey 10:22 am
(10:22:34 AM): Whatever he said was cut off when a dark figure several blocks down dashed around a corner with a rifle raised. A beam lashed out and was dodged... but a building close by was struck - causing an explosion of debris.
(10:22:42 AM): Remember how I said the crowd was calm?
(10:22:47 AM): They aren't now.
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 am
(10:23:03 AM): Ren: "!"
(10:23:08 AM): #
VJockey 10:23 am
(10:23:16 AM): (approved)
tormterra 10:23 am
(10:23:29 AM): (Is this the crowd Alex is in or a different one?)
VJockey 10:23 am
(10:23:36 AM): (Same)
cubey@aol.pl 10:24 am
(10:24:30 AM): *The Genoace's visor flashes. A mobile suit's frame cuts through the dark rain, which would look impressive if it wasn't a Genoace. It holds its arm up to catch the falling rubble on its shield.+
VJockey 10:24 am
(10:24:33 AM): (Initiative: Selena, Garrod, Ren, Seta, Roger, Suma)
Atrament Corel 10:24 am
(10:24:39 AM): Seta has been trying to get her fancy earpiece-communicator-thing working ever since the doors to the shuttle opened. The weather definitely took it's toll there.
tormterra 10:24 am
(10:24:46 AM): And just as she'd been relieved, things went wrong. Like everyone else, Alex began moving faster to get out of the way. She wasn't going to get hit by a straight shot or get trampled by those behind her should an actual panic start...But hopefully it wouldn't come to that
VJockey 10:25 am
(10:25:35 AM): Ren! Your timely intervention prevents several civilians from getting injured or killed by the debris, especially one civilian in particular.
cubey@aol.pl 10:26 am
(10:26:03 AM): Ren: "Please, stay calm. We will protect your lives, no matter what."
VJockey 10:26 am
(10:26:07 AM): (Enemies: ??? x 15)
cubey@aol.pl 10:26 am
(10:26:21 AM): The giant mobile suit is staring down at the civilians, its visor expressionless.
(10:26:33 AM): But for some reason, there is a soft glow around its head, visible despite the horrible weather.
wyverncakes 10:26 am
(10:26:45 AM): Selena opens a channel to the mystery attackers!
(10:26:52 AM): "Whoever you are, identify yourselves."
ZebulonCrispi 10:26 am
(10:26:54 AM): (what are the enemies armed with?)
VJockey 10:26 am
(10:26:57 AM): Several more units approach the area, they aren't registering on IFFs so presume hostile.
(10:27:08 AM): (As far as anyone can tell, some form of beam weapon)
tormterra 10:27 am
(10:27:23 AM): Alex stopped to look up at it for a second, dimly realizing the glow though she didn't quite have the presence of mind to think about whether that was normal or not. She quickly resumed moving to try to get to safety as soon as possible
VJockey 10:27 am
(10:27:40 AM): (Selena, Garrod, Ren)
wyverncakes 10:28 am
(10:28:16 AM): Albhard: "With all these refugees around-"
VJockey 10:28 am
(10:28:22 AM): (Allies: F-4 Phantom TSF, Gespenst Mk-II x2, Genoace x2)
(10:28:33 AM): (You can call on them for supports and attacks)
wyverncakes 10:28 am
(10:28:44 AM): Selena: "We'll just need a woman's delicate touch." Cue the Gesterben assembling the Stealth Boomerang!
Overman Zappa 10:28 am
(10:28:53 AM): *Rather than risk missing and damaging more buildings, Garrod approaches one of the mystery suits with beam saber drawn, and starts off with a diagonal slash to it's weapon-arm!+
cubey@aol.pl 10:28 am
(10:28:57 AM): Ren: "No one's going to die. Don't worry, this time I'm sure of it."
VJockey 10:29 am
(10:29:13 AM): Selena, you get no reply.
Atrament Corel 10:29 am
(10:29:15 AM): Seta: "...Ah, everyone, I believe this is functional now...please hold on...!" And out of the shuttle she goes, finally.
cubey@aol.pl 10:29 am
(10:29:49 AM): *Gotta get away from the civilians. The Genoace moves forward in long steps, its shield raised, the spray gun shooting from behind its cover. Yellow beams are concentrated on the closest unidentified target.+
wyverncakes 10:29 am
(10:29:53 AM): Selena: "Hostile actions and refusal to answer communications... can't say we didn't try!"
(10:30:52 AM): * The Gesterben rises up into the air and hurls its boomerang down at one of the mystery assailants, the weapon juking and redirecting its flight path every few seconds thanks to Elma's assistance!+
VJockey 10:30 am
(10:30:57 AM): Garrod! You let loose with an attack at one of the machines. It lets loose with vulcans at you... which chew through your armor a bit faster than normal vulcans would... but even then that's not saying much. You damage its weapon and makie it back off before it has to draw one of its own to stab at you!
(10:31:03 AM): React
(10:32:55 AM): Selena! Ren! Another Mystery attacker attempts to evade the Stealth Boomerang, the erratic flight patterns making it struggle in the air... right before it was bombarded with beams and lost a significant chunk of its body when the boomerang finally hit. It explodes - away from the civilians thankfully.
VJockey 10:33 am
(10:33:09 AM): It also had another side effect.
(10:33:20 AM): it gave enough light to see just who your attackers were.
(10:33:30 AM): ( http://www.gearsonline.net/series/superrobotwars/mecha/aerogators/AGX07zechariah.jpg )
(10:33:55 AM): (Enemy List (Updated): Zechariah x 14)
wyverncakes 10:34 am
(10:34:03 AM): Albhard: "Aerogators!"
Atrament Corel 10:34 am
(10:34:23 AM): Seta: "...Those machines..."
ZebulonCrispi 10:34 am
(10:34:44 AM): Suma: "Ha! Never a dull moment with UG, is it?"
VJockey 10:34 am
(10:34:58 AM): (Seta, Roger, Suma)
wyverncakes 10:35 am
(10:35:02 AM): Selena: "I'd rather this evacuation *was* a dull moment."
cubey@aol.pl 10:35 am
(10:35:07 AM): Ren: "So this is who you are."
VJockey 10:35 am
(10:35:19 AM): (Garrod, your react please?)
Overman Zappa 10:35 am
(10:35:34 AM): *Garrod has a spiffy shield to defend against that attack, while continuing to chop away at it's weapon arm+
ZebulonCrispi 10:36 am
(10:36:06 AM): * Sefet leaps towards the new enemies, longswords in hand! Darting between buildings to avoid fire and close distance, she tries to get into melee range of the Aerogator units... &
VJockey 10:36 am
(10:36:20 AM): Garrod, your attacks were parried for the most part, but you manage to get quite a few good hits in with only superficial damage.
Overman Zappa 10:37 am
(10:37:16 AM): Garrod: "What kind of shells are they using...? Those vulcans really hurt!"
tengusaur 10:38 am
(10:38:28 AM): * Roger: "The mysterious aliens? No wonder they acted this way. This is the first time they get to fight a Big... Let's make sure it's a time they won't forget!" With loud steps, the massive Megadeus moves towards one of the green attackers, protecting itself from counterattacks with its arms during approach. Then, it hits the Zachariah with several straight punches, to send it flying towards another Aerogator. &
VJockey 10:38 am
(10:38:47 AM): Suma. The Aerogator units fire at you... unfortunately while your side has some semblance of firing discipline... the enemy didn't and obviously cared not for it. Their Optical Laser rifles spit bolts of energy rapidly without concern for collateral damage. Buildings get blasted apart and threaten the evacuees! and to top it off, you've got a pair readying to fight you up close! React
wyverncakes 10:39 am
(10:39:11 AM): # Suma (or more rather, the evacuees)
VJockey 10:39 am
(10:39:20 AM): (Approved)
Atrament Corel 10:39 am
(10:39:25 AM): Seta: *"...Craft Ignite - Complete. Code: Rebellion!" A bright glow summons her mecha, which promptly forms a number of glowing spheres in the air. "Haa!" These are all sent flying at one of the Zechariahs with a wave of a hand, and much like the Gesterben's boomerang, each sphere seems to zigzag in a complex manner, before homing in and striking their target from different angles!+
wyverncakes 10:39 am
(10:39:53 AM): Albhard: "Worry about the aliens, the Grungust can handle the wreckage!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:40 am
(10:40:17 AM): * Debris threatens evacuees, but Aerogaters threatens them even more. She ignores the collateral as she closes to cleave the arms off of one Zechariah, her claymore launching to thrust itsel towards the heart of the other. +
ZebulonCrispi 10:40 am
(10:40:57 AM): Suma: "With pleasure!"
VJockey 10:41 am
(10:41:04 AM): Roger, on your end barely much gets past your megadeus' mighty approach - the bolts merely causing the metal of its arms to glow slightly with each strike. The Zecheriah you close in on draws its laser blade and attempts to take you on up close... and promptly got punched. Serveral times, each blow pulverizing armor before sending it crashing into one of its comrades.
wyverncakes 10:41 am
(10:41:09 AM): * The Type-2's Boost Knuckles get fired off at the falling rubble, moving to quickly shove them away as the Stealth Boomerang comes around for another pass, smacking and not slicing other pieces away as well!+
VJockey 10:42 am
(10:42:38 AM): Seta! Another Zechariah is down for the count, unable to keep track of the multiple projectiles effectively before it was struck mercilessly. Two more attempt to attack your summoned machine at range though.
tormterra 10:43 am
(10:43:06 AM): Alex winced, ducking instinctively as the explosion rocked the building next to her and she would have broken into a run if it wasn't for all the people around her trying the same keeping her from moving. As she did so, she found herself pushed to the edges by the movement of the crowd, though she was still in the refugee stream and hadn't been pushed out to be on her own in the rubble
VJockey 10:43 am
(10:43:36 AM): (Continue Roger)
Atrament Corel 10:44 am
(10:44:16 AM): (Er sorry, is that a react? Which weapons are they using?)
VJockey 10:44 am
(10:44:25 AM): (Optical lasers)
(10:44:31 AM): (and yes)
cubey@aol.pl 10:44 am
(10:44:46 AM): # Seta
VJockey 10:44 am
(10:44:53 AM): (approved)
cubey@aol.pl 10:45 am
(10:45:15 AM): *Genoace moves in to intercept those blasts with its shield.+
cubey@aol.pl has left the room. 10:45 am
tengusaur has left the room. 10:45 am
tengusaur has entered the room. 10:45 am
VJockey 10:45 am
(10:45:49 AM): Albhard, Selena, Suma. The Rubble is rendered a non issue. The first Zechariah loses its arm, but continues to attack regardless, managing to land a hit on the side of the Sefet. Its comrade isn't so fortunate as it gets stabbed straight through the chest.
tengusaur 10:46 am
(10:46:00 AM): * Roger: "This is it. Bye bye!" Big O's eyes flash brightly, and suddenly two pink beams fire from them, heading towards the punched Zechariah and its ally. They crawl over the green robots' surface, burning thin lines in them, followed by explosions! +
Atrament Corel 10:46 am
(10:46:01 AM): *Seta pulls that convenient anti beam cloak over RB's body in defense!+
VJockey 10:46 am
(10:46:18 AM): Roger, that's another two down!
ZebulonCrispi 10:46 am
(10:46:39 AM): Suma: "So you have some skill after all... not bad, enemies of mankind!"
cubey@aol.pl has been invited. 10:46 am
VJockey 10:46 am
(10:46:43 AM): Seta, RB's cloak manages to fend off the attack well enough.
(10:47:09 AM): Ren's assistance renders any further fire a non issue as well.
cubey@aol.pl has entered the room. 10:47 am
VJockey 10:48 am
(10:48:39 AM): UN Pilot: "New contacts! East side!"
wyverncakes 10:48 am
(10:48:52 AM): Selena: "More Aerogators or someone else?"
VJockey 10:49 am
(10:49:29 AM): Well Selena...
(10:49:33 AM): ( http://www.gearsonline.net/series/superrobotwars/mecha/aerogators/AGX08habakkuk.jpg )
(10:49:42 AM): A pair of these stomp onto into view
(10:49:59 AM): parts of their legs shifting to form cannons that fall over their shoulders....
Overman Zappa 10:50 am
(10:50:57 AM): Garrod: "Wow... those look... uh... who's... Can we even stop those canons!?"
tengusaur 10:51 am
(10:51:08 AM): Roger: "A new type?"
VJockey 10:51 am
(10:51:17 AM): A funny question to ask Garrod
tengusaur 10:51 am
(10:51:39 AM): Roger: "We shall see!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:51 am
(10:51:48 AM): Suma: "If you can't stop the cannon, destroy it before it can fire!"
Overman Zappa 10:52 am
(10:52:07 AM): Garrod: "I"ll do what I can!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:52 am
(10:52:26 AM): Ren: "That's a really strange design, isn't it?"
wyverncakes 10:52 am
(10:52:50 AM): Selena: "The Aerogators all seem to go for unusual machines like that..."
(10:53:12 AM): Elma: "And names with Hebrew terms."
VJockey 10:53 am
(10:53:22 AM): you see, just as they were charging up their weapons... a massive figure up and crushed one into the ground, a brief explosion signifying its death. The other turned to face the new attacker to try fire its weapon, but somehow fired prematurely, missing at point blank range.
Atrament Corel 10:53 am
(10:53:43 AM): Seta: "...Ah!"
wyverncakes 10:53 am
(10:53:46 AM): Albhard: "Speaking of which, do the files from La Gias mention anything about these newcomers- WHAT THE!"
VJockey 10:53 am
(10:53:57 AM): The blast gave everyone a good look at the thing... though it would make everyone wish they didn't look at it...
VJockey 10:55 am
(10:55:53 AM): A mish mash of reptile and mammal - standing as high, if not higher than the Grungust and moving in a horrific parody of a walk on six clawed legs, resembling no terrestrial animal in existance. Its huge body ended with a cavernous maw that was constantly drooling, the sludge eating into the very ground... and the metal of the Aerogator machine beneath it.
tengusaur 10:56 am
(10:56:23 AM): Roger: "...Not a friend of yours, I presume."
VJockey 10:56 am
(10:56:26 AM): The very sight of the creature seemed to repulse one's sight.
(10:56:38 AM): Looking at it too long almost hurt.
wyverncakes 10:56 am
(10:56:42 AM): Selena: "... Far from it..."
ZebulonCrispi 10:56 am
(10:56:59 AM): Suma: "And here I thought there was a dearth of proper monsters left in the world..."
Overman Zappa 10:57 am
(10:57:01 AM): Garrod: "Ugh... *gulp* what IS that even..."
Atrament Corel 10:57 am
(10:57:08 AM): Seta: "I certainly do not have friends like that..."
wyverncakes 10:57 am
(10:57:18 AM): Elma: "What even is that? Some sort of Kaiju? A straggler from the Dinosaur Empire...?"
Atrament Corel 10:57 am
(10:57:23 AM): She actually looks almost hurt here.
cubey@aol.pl 10:57 am
(10:57:36 AM): Ren: "What kind of creature are you?"
VJockey 10:57 am
(10:57:50 AM): Before any further action from the Aerogator could be taken, it was snatched up by the beast, crushed, melted and all but devastated quickly.... before it turned to face the crowds of fleeing civilians.
cubey@aol.pl 10:57 am
(10:57:54 AM): Trying to avert the gaze away from this thing, and being discreet about it.
tormterra 10:59 am
(10:59:08 AM): As the creature into sight, Alex winced despite having her back turned to the thing. As she did so information seemed to flow into her head unbidden. Stopping for a second, she held her head trying to make sense of what was happening. It was made no easider by the way the pendant she wore seemed to get heavier and almost move on its own
VJockey 10:59 am
(10:59:15 AM): Its sides bulged outwards as it began its loping walk towards them... twisted and deformed rock-like creatures falling out of it like shed skin and scales before they joined in its march.
wyverncakes 10:59 am
(10:59:24 AM): Albhard: "Looks like its priorities are changing... but it went after a mech before people on the ground! Let's see if we can't draw it away from the!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:59 am
(10:59:46 AM): Ren: "No! Stay back!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:00 am
(11:00:04 AM): The Genoace tries to take a stand between the monster and the civilian crowds.
tengusaur 11:00 am
(11:00:05 AM): Roger: "I can see what you're trying to do, big ugly. I'm not going to let you!"
VJockey 11:01 am
(11:01:40 AM): Alex... the crowd flees all around you, doing their best to get as much distance away from the beast and the Aerogators as they could...
(11:01:54 AM): but something is making you stay...
(11:02:02 AM): isn't there?
VJockey 11:02 am
(11:02:26 AM): (Selena, Garrod, Ren)
tengusaur 11:02 am
(11:02:54 AM): (enemy list?)
VJockey 11:03 am

tormterra 11:03 am
(11:03:45 AM): Gritting her teeth, Alex looked over the crowd for a bit, before finding a nearby empty side street to run down. The rest of you see that one of the civilians, a girl looking to be somewhere in her teens, had apparently taken leave of their senses to run away from safety to head down a small side street where she could easily get caught in the crossfire or get hit by falling rubble

tengusaur 11:04 am
(11:04:28 AM): Roger: "What... Don't approach! It's dangerous here!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:04 am
(11:04:39 AM): Ren: "No, what are you doing? Please stay back!"
wyverncakes 11:05 am
(11:05:01 AM): * The Grungust's Doomblade is out and drawn as the machine advances towards the mystery monster! "No idea where you came from or what you are... but we're not the kind of machines that can't defend up-close!"
Overman Zappa 11:05 am
(11:05:08 AM): "Damn I don't even know if... I'm leaving him to the bigger guns."
*Garrod returns his attention to the Aerogaters, rather than even try the larger foe. Switching beam saber for rifle, Garrod takes a few shots at the Aerogater machines before following it up with a quick flash of a beam crescent shot from the Harmonica shield.+
wyverncakes 11:05 am
(11:05:15 AM): Selena: "All the more reason to try to knock it back! Albhard, let's go!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:05 am
(11:05:48 AM): *Ren's teeth are grit. They can't fall back a single step here! The Genoace unsheaths its most powerful weapon. "DODS gun, firing!" A spiral beam shoots out at the monster at close range.+
wyverncakes 11:06 am
(11:06:39 AM): * The Gesterben and Grungust charge at the abomination, the modified Gespenst moving to flank it and firing through gaps in buildings and opens fire with its Blade Railgun! On Albhard's end, the Grungust swings out with its doomblade to de-limb the creature!+
VJockey 11:07 am
(11:07:43 AM): Ren, whatever the beast is it's ignoring you... until you get its attention with the DODS gun. The blast scorches fur and scale and seared skin can be seen.... and then it screeches loudly and launches a massive gout of foul slime at your MS! React!
cubey@aol.pl 11:08 am

tengusaur 11:08 am
(11:08:13 AM): #
cubey@aol.pl 11:08 am
(11:08:40 AM): *Willing to make this a stand, Ren shields the mobile suit with its, well, shield. It was already damaged, but trying to dodge means people behind it - one person especially, gets hurt.+
tormterra 11:09 am
(11:09:31 AM): Alex looked up at them for a second, mostly looking confused but also giving them a small, sheepish smile. After a few seconds of doing so, she got caught up in a shimmer like water or mist surrounding her. Swirling around her the shimmer seemed to lift her, taking a humanoid shape. After a few seconds it fully took shape, taking the form of a Gundam-sized man made of some kind of shimmering metal. The man or robot or whatever it was, had a square beard that the more learned would almost certainly associated with ancient Mesopotamia and had designs like it was wearing scaled armor and a horned crown. From its shoulders a cloak of water flowed, dissolving into mist before hitting the bround.
VJockey 11:09 am
(11:09:37 AM): Selena and Albhard! The ranged attack manages to leave a few scars across its skin but... as the Grungust closes in... Albhard... you feel a horrific pressure on your senses the closer and closer you get to him, literally feeling like something is crushing your senses backward away from this loathsome thing... react!
wyverncakes 11:09 am
(11:09:56 AM): Albhard: "W-what the...!?!"
tormterra 11:10 am
(11:10:34 AM): "Guh..." In the small compartment serving as cockpit, Alex was trying to catch her bearings and make sense of all this. Hopefully quickly enough to not get herself or others killed in the process
wyverncakes 11:11 am
(11:11:09 AM): * Albhard falls back just for the sake of mental clarity... but he doesn't break off the attack! No... he still has the Doomblade in his hand... and one Boost Knuckle later, he's firing that hand straight at the monster to stab it!+
(11:11:13 AM): Albhard: "Stay away from it!"
(11:11:29 AM): "It's upsetting enough just looking at it, but when you get close...!"
VJockey 11:11 am
(11:11:41 AM): Garrod! Your shots get the attention of the Aerogator machines and damage quite a number of them - and you aren't alone as the Gespenst from the UN team guarding the evacuees open fire as well - keeping the Aerogators from retaliating!
Atrament Corel 11:11 am
(11:11:41 AM): Seta observes the goings-on curiously, but there's still that giant monster...so...
VJockey 11:12 am
(11:12:02 AM): (Roger defense approved)
tengusaur 11:12 am
(11:12:05 AM): * Big O steps in, raising a powerful arm covered in thick shield-like armor to protect the Genoace from the incoming ooze! As well as the girl Ren protects, though that seems to be unneeded at this point... +

tormterra 11:13 am
(11:13:54 AM): Alex: "It's old...I think. I don't really know..."
VJockey 11:13 am
(11:13:57 AM): Roger & Ren! The sludge was... definitely different from the optical lasers... you can see it starting to eat away at metal... and almost hear it happening. Big O takes the brunt of it though and the most the Genoace gets is a few minor splashes.
(11:14:09 AM): (Roger, Alex, Seta, Suma)
cubey@aol.pl 11:14 am
(11:14:30 AM): Ren: "That was so close... thank you, mr Roger. Huh? Why is everyone acting so strangely?"
VJockey 11:14 am
(11:14:44 AM): Albhard! The Doomblade leaves an ugly scar across the beast, making it thrash angrily... and pulverize a building next to it in rage.
ZebulonCrispi 11:14 am
(11:14:48 AM): (Enemies = Aerogaters and horrible monster?)
cubey@aol.pl 11:14 am
(11:14:50 AM): The Genoace looks above its shoulder, and freezes for a few seconds at the sight of the new arrival that was not there before.
tengusaur 11:15 am
(11:15:21 AM): Roger: "That acid is powerful... Good I didn't let it hit anything more fragile. Young lady, are you inside that thing? Can you control it?"
tengusaur 11:15 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:15 am
(11:15:29 AM): "You are not just an ordinary person, are you? Can you hear me?"
(11:15:51 AM): The mobile suit was already mid-way of trying to turn before Ren realizes how dangerous it is and faces the big ugly monster again, instead.
ZebulonCrispi 11:16 am
(11:16:17 AM): * Sorry, monster spotted, someone else will have to deal with the Aerogaters. Suma breaks away from the aliens, processing her revulsion by trying to lose herself in bloodlust instead.
(11:16:51 AM): * With a half-mad battle cry, Suma launches Sefet forwards, bringing its oversized meat cleaver down to try and butcher the abomination! +
wyverncakes 11:17 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:17 am
(11:17:42 AM): Ren: "That's really dangerous, watch out!"
tormterra 11:18 am
(11:18:16 AM): * Grimacing one last time to try to clear her mind. Alex focused her attention at the monster. It didn't make much sense to her, but even if the voice in her head had lied it was destroying her home. Concentrating for a second, the robot reached out just like she'd learned it would, seeming to grab the water pouring down from the sky, trying to bind and restrain the monster. It wasn't particularly fast, though, between the sheer revulsion from the beast and her lack of bearings.
(11:18:58 AM): * Regardless, she followed up with a sweep of her arm bringing a high-powered jet of water with it that cut into several buildings on its way to the monster. +
tormterra 11:19 am
(11:19:32 AM): Alex: "I am...Or I thought I was...And I'm in control, don't worry." There was a second to observe the collateral damage she caused. "Kinda..."
VJockey 11:20 am
(11:20:03 AM): Suma, sadly this was not the best move. Trying to attack it head on felt like forcing a railroad spike through your eyes and into your brain and somehow still remain alive though in horrible pain. Disgust, revulsion, horror, all those feelings along with a sense of sheer wrongness saps most of the strength from your attack. You barely even scratch it.... as you land among its entourage of vicious rock beasts. REACT.
tengusaur 11:20 am
(11:20:06 AM): * Roger: "That's good enough. Don't let the acid burn you!" A lot of slots open within Big O's chest, revealing rockets! The Missile Party launches towards the rock monsters, flying towards them in a swarm Macross would be proud of, and blowing up among them in a chain of explosions. +
ZebulonCrispi 11:20 am
(11:20:56 AM): Suma: "RRRAAAAAAAHHH!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:21 am
(11:21:43 AM): * Not thinking coherently with the pain and horror filling her mind, Sefer staggers back away from the creature, lashing out like an animal with whatever swords she can muster at any of the rock monsters that come near. +

Atrament Corel 11:23 am
(11:23:20 AM): Seta: *Since most people are on the monster now, Seta summons her two guns and takes aim at the remaining Aerogaters - a number of shots are fired, some bouncing harmlessly off of surfaces before striking!+
VJockey 11:23 am
(11:23:29 AM): Alex... the beast... Asag. Its name comes easily to you. As the rain pours down, your motions begin to slow and bind it... causing it to rage and thrast wildly once more... just in time for it to get a large chunk of its side cut off by the magic water cutter before several chunks of building slam onto its back- pinning it to the ground. And let me tell you... it is not pleased at all by this development from the absolute cacophany of rage it was letting out.
Atrament Corel 11:24 am

drascin has entered the room. 11:25 am
VJockey 11:26 am
(11:26:30 AM): Roger! Several Rock Monsters are hit by the missiles, one even pushed back by a strike to the head before the explosion happened... but when the smoke clears they're still carrying on regardless of the horrific injuries they have... and under all that rock was twisted, bloodied flesh and bone similar to that of the creature that birthed them.
wyverncakes 11:27 am
(11:27:26 AM): Selena: "They're dedicated, that much is certain..."
Atrament Corel 11:27 am
(11:27:35 AM): Seta: "So even those..."
tengusaur 11:27 am
(11:27:44 AM): Roger: "Just what are you...?"
VJockey 11:27 am
(11:27:46 AM): Seta! Your Ricocheted shots manage to land a precise hit on another Aerogator and damage two more... given how badly their numbers are cut down and their heavy hitters dispatched by Asag's arrival... they destroy their fallen comrades and flee!
Atrament Corel 11:29 am
(11:29:03 AM): Seta is holding her breath here. "I hope that means one less threat to the evacuees..."
tormterra 11:29 am
(11:29:36 AM): Alex: "It's called Asag...And it's probably from Sumerian mythology. It's here to Enki, this thing I'm in...I'll explain once we're safe."
VJockey 11:30 am
(11:30:02 AM): Suma! Ren manages to buy you sime time, knocking away some of the Rock Beasts, but this makes them redouble their efforts to push past and trample her to get to you. Your initial strikes don't do much aside from chip away at their rocky skin... but slam your fist into a wall hard enough for enough time and something gives. Stone breaks, weaknesses already exposed by Roger's barrage are widened, and you manage to land a few good cuts through and dispatch three.
cubey@aol.pl 11:30 am
(11:30:29 AM): Ren: "I didn't expect mythological creatures to be real."
ZebulonCrispi 11:30 am
(11:30:34 AM): Suma: "Asag... Sumeria..."
cubey@aol.pl 11:30 am
(11:30:39 AM): Deep breath.
tengusaur 11:30 am
(11:30:44 AM): Roger: "Ancient Sumerian mythology." You can hear the disbelief in his voice.
Atrament Corel 11:30 am
(11:30:49 AM): Seta: "...I see."
cubey@aol.pl 11:30 am
(11:30:49 AM): Ren: "Are you alright? I think that worked, somehow." Question aimed at Suma.

tengusaur 11:31 am
(11:31:19 AM): Roger: "Alright, I am not going to question it. We have to destroy those monsters before they hurt anyone else."
ZebulonCrispi 11:31 am

wyverncakes 11:32 am
(11:32:13 AM): Elma: "Hrmm... Tikipedia doesn't have much on the subject... but it does state its presence can boil fish alive in rivers and it had rock demon offspring..."
(11:32:25 AM): "... And that an Akkadian hero defeated it with a talking mace."
tormterra 11:32 am
(11:32:43 AM): Alex: "The name and why it's here...I don't know much about Sumeria."
ZebulonCrispi 11:33 am
(11:33:05 AM): Suma: "I want to kill it... to face it it is surely death, but I want to kill it!"
wyverncakes 11:33 am

Overman Zappa 11:33 am
(11:33:39 AM): *Garrod opens communication to all the NPC bros. "You guys listening! We've got to stop those rock things. Everyone focus on one until it's done!" As such, leading those that cooperate, Garrod opens the Harmonica Shield and lets all 7 beam canons fire focused on one Rock Monster with any support fire he can get. +
Atrament Corel 11:33 am
(11:33:51 AM): Seta: "Tikipedia is very helpful..."
(11:34:02 AM): But where to get a talking mace?
tengusaur 11:34 am
(11:34:29 AM): Roger: "I assume that means weaponry that's not a mace will work too. As for talking, we already do plenty of it! Let's go, Asag!"
wyverncakes 11:34 am
(11:34:35 AM): In the meantime though... "If killing these spawn is too difficult... then let's settle for disabling!"
tormterra 11:35 am
(11:35:06 AM): Alex: "We'll have to defeat it...And I don't think we can wait until we find a mace."
cubey@aol.pl 11:35 am
(11:35:13 AM): Ren: "I'll make sure these do not get in the way. I'm sorry, but I won't let you kill anyone!"
wyverncakes 11:35 am
(11:35:45 AM): * Selena and Albhard each attack one of the rockspawn, the Gesterben with its stealth boomerang again and Albhard with the Grungust's eye beams! But rather than go for damage to its bodies, both of them target the arms and legs instead!+
cubey@aol.pl 11:35 am
(11:35:47 AM): *The Genoace grabs its heat rod - which is to say a sharpened metal stick, with both hands, and descends it on one of the rock spawn, stabbing it, raising the weapon and stabbing again.+
wyverncakes 11:36 am
(11:36:17 AM): Albhard: "If we can keep them from moving, it doesn't matter if they're still alive! And if they start rolling just smash a hole in their bodies so they get stuck!+"
VJockey 11:36 am
(11:36:34 AM): Garrod! Your words are heeded, with the Aerogators gone for now and a singular threat to deal with your beam bombardment is joined by volley after volley of machinegun fire, cannon rounds and shots from Beam Spray Guns. The rock monster took it all head on, but even droplets of water can carve open a mountain. It cracks open before the combined fire shreds its meaty insides.
(11:36:53 AM): UN Pilot: "One down... a whole bunch left..."
Overman Zappa 11:38 am
(11:38:20 AM): Garrod: "But that's still one! Just make sure not to overkill!" You know, like draining your Shield of all it's energy before you're aquarter through...
VJockey 11:38 am
(11:38:47 AM): Selena and Albhard! It takes a few solid hits and the boomerang may be acumulating its share of dents... but you manage to de-limb a couple - of course while they don't have any ranged weapons... their content to throw their broken pieces and limbs at you with considerable force! React!
(11:39:18 AM): Ren! The Heat Rod slams into the rockspawn again and again but...
(11:39:39 AM): While you do damage, the rod itself cracks and ultimately shatters under the repeated stress
cubey@aol.pl 11:39 am
(11:39:53 AM): Ren: "... Oh."
VJockey 11:40 am
(11:40:18 AM): The Rockspawn you were assaulting tackles your Genoace into a bear hug and tries to crush it, and by extension you! REACT!

wyverncakes 11:41 am
(11:41:11 AM): * As the broken pieces come hurtling at the two of them, the Grungust's chest begins to shine and gather up energy! "Well... if you're just going to sit there and throw rocks like cavemen... join them in history! ADIOOOOS!" And the Maxiblaster fires to overpower their projectile attacks... and the Rockspawn themselves!+
cubey@aol.pl 11:43 am
(11:43:17 AM): *Genoace is left momentarily defenseless, and Ren has no choice but to back away, the mobile suit's rather meager thrusters providing as much kick as they can.+
VJockey 11:43 am
(11:43:33 AM): Albhard! The bits and pieces... are reduced to pebbles that dink harmlessly off the Grungust and Gesterben, the Rockspawn now look more like magmaspawn with how their protective skin was liquefying all over them and possibly cooking them alive.
(11:43:56 AM): (Approved Seta)
(11:45:00 AM): (After that take your action. Roger, Alex, Suma. You guys can also go)
Atrament Corel 11:45 am
(11:45:04 AM): Seta: *"Please watch out...!" With that as a heads up, RB speeds up to the Genoace's location and kicks, not once, but twice in a single spin - hoping to at least knock the Rockspawn away!+
VJockey 11:45 am
(11:45:59 AM): Seta & Ren! The double Spinkick manages to break one of the arms off through a weakened section, letting Ren get away!
cubey@aol.pl 11:46 am
(11:46:17 AM): Ren: "You really saved me, Seta! Thank you."
ZebulonCrispi 11:46 am
(11:46:48 AM): * A normal person might focus less on attack and more on defense while afraid. Berserker that she is, Suma does the opposite - her movements are more erratic and recklessly aggressive now.
VJockey 11:47 am
(11:47:58 AM): (What are you attacking Suma?)
ZebulonCrispi 11:48 am
(11:48:07 AM): (I'm getting there, but it's rockbeasts)
(11:48:42 AM): * As she screams wordlessly, several pieces of debris - twisted girders from crushed buildings, severed pieces of fallen mechs - rise around Sefet, twisting themselves into the crude shapes of more swords.
(11:49:33 AM): * Her usual six now up to over a dozen of varying levels of integrity, Suma lashes out brutally at the remaining stone monsters, some swords striking normally and some simply hitting once, hard and fast, before shattering. +
tormterra 11:50 am
(11:50:34 AM): * Still trying to get a grasp at what she was doing and how to handle the whole fighting thing Alex once again moved to gather the water from the air and the ground. Concentrating, she shaped it into a crude deluge aimed at grabbing one of the rock beasts and throwing it at Asag with all the force she could manage. If she couldn't focus when looking at the thing, she could at least throw the heaviest, densest object around at it. +
Atrament Corel 11:50 am
(11:50:44 AM): Seta: *"You are welcome, Ren...now..." RB focuses on the same damaged Rockspawn. These things are tough, so best to finish it off before moving on. With that in mind, Seta rushes forward, appearing to charge in for a follow up straight punch!&
tengusaur 11:51 am
(11:51:03 AM): * Roger: "Asag's minions are very tough... But let's see how they fare against the light that burns through everything!" Big O stomps forward, to take the right position... And then it raises its hands, visibly gathering energy around its head. The arms go down and the fists connect, and the energy bursts forward in a huge blast, headed towards the rock monsters! +
(11:51:16 AM): Roger: "Action!"
drascin has left the room. 11:51 am
VJockey 11:53 am
(11:53:02 AM): Alex! Eightball to corner pocket. Asag's spawn is sent straight into its maw and breaking a few teeth on the way in... this displeased it greatly as it managed to push enough force in its sheer, unadulterated fury and toss off the piles of broken building and water restraints that kept it held as it bit down through its minion and spat it out - covered in corrosive slime back at you! REACT!
(11:54:50 AM): Roger! Tough indeed, when it hits their bodies it left some ugly scars and heavy damage... but they were still alive... the limbs though, especially the ones you hit earlier came off easier.
tormterra 11:55 am
(11:55:13 AM): * Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Almost paralyzed by the experience of getting attacked like that, Alex swept Enki's hands up in front of her, creating a swirling vortex of water in front of her trying to grab the debris and toss it aside, unfortunately straight towards a nearby building. +
cubey@aol.pl 11:55 am
(11:55:24 AM): # Alex
VJockey 11:55 am
(11:55:43 AM): Seta! Your fist digs deep into the stone... you see cracks form from the impact site of the punch but they don't go very far
(11:55:47 AM): Continue

VJockey 11:55 am

VJockey 11:56 am
(11:56:29 AM): Suma... the thing is about these creatures is that... they are extraordinarily tough...
cubey@aol.pl 11:56 am
(11:56:46 AM): *The Genoace springs up, its shield once again trying to take on the attack... except this time it's different.
(11:57:12 AM): *Ren angles the shield so rather than absorbing the impact, it changes the flying monster's direction away from allies and civilians.+
cubey@aol.pl 11:57 am
(11:57:39 AM): Ren: "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to you."
VJockey 11:57 am
(11:57:48 AM): Spreading out your attacks like that would have worked against more conventional or at the very least more squishy opponents. Here though most of the swords barely find any purchase, while they manage to strike at weakened sections from the attacks of the others, there were just barely enough swords to go around. And the temporary ones break before they could get all the way through!
cubey@aol.pl 11:57 am
(11:57:53 AM): Ren: "I may not be able to do much to Asag, but I will keep you safe - so you can."
VJockey 11:58 am
(11:58:33 AM): Several Rockspawn, looking all the more hellish with shattered shells and bits of makeshift, or even fully formed swords impaled in them dogpile on you. React.
drascin has entered the room. 11:58 am
tengusaur 11:58 am
(11:58:48 AM): * "Careful. Let's not make this city suffer even more damage, okay?" Roger steps in, using Big O's arms for double defensive purposes - to shield Enki from some of the incoming rubble, and to block the projectiles Alex accidentally throws towards the buildings! +
cubey@aol.pl 11:59 am
(11:59:09 AM): Ren: "Is there a chance you will stop fighting and just go home, peacefully?"
Atrament Corel 11:59 am
(11:59:12 AM): *Seta continues...by focusing light into the fist and driving it forward, but only slightly. The light however, will expand from the point of impact and spread throughout the Rockspawn's body - hopefully shattering it!+
cubey@aol.pl 11:59 am
(11:59:31 AM): The question was aimd at Asag, with a lot of hope behind it.
VJockey 11:59 am
(11:59:47 AM): Ren, Alex, Roger! The Buildings are .... mostly unharmed aside from minor damage. And the civvies get away clean and free... Ren's genoace though soon loses its shield. The arm it was on now barely functioning.
tormterra 11:59 am
(11:59:47 AM): Alex: "I don't think it will..."
ZebulonCrispi 12:00 pm
(12:00:03 PM): * All six of Sefet's remaining swords draw back towards it, and each makes an all-out strike against the weakest point it can find on one of the attacking rockspawn, trying to disable or kill them before they can strike. Those that get through... well, I guess it'll be time to grapple in melee. +
wyverncakes 12:00 pm
(12:00:04 PM): Selena: "He wouldn't be worthy of the name of an ancient demon if he just turned and left, unfortunately."
VJockey 12:00 pm
(12:00:19 PM): Asag's reply was to roar. Very loudly... Several windows bearing its reflection just up and shatter.
cubey@aol.pl 12:01 pm
(12:01:56 PM): Ren: "It didn't hurt to try..."
VJockey 12:02 pm
(12:02:41 PM): Suma, you manage to down at least two in the all out attack... however... grappling with them may have not been the best idea as they pummel and claw and tear relentlessly at the Sefet, the ones with their twisted maws exposed even take bites out of it as they savage at the machine without mercy before one errant pull from their number sent its mangled body into a building.
(12:02:47 PM): You're alive.
(12:02:48 PM): Barely.
(12:03:00 PM): But there's no way you're going to be able to fight like this.
(12:03:04 PM): (Sefet. Downed)
cubey@aol.pl 12:03 pm
(12:03:06 PM): Ren: "Ah."
ZebulonCrispi 12:03 pm
(12:03:21 PM): Suma: "Ghhhahhh...!"
tengusaur 12:03 pm
(12:03:50 PM): Roger: "Are you alive? Stand back, it's getting too dangerous!"
wyverncakes 12:03 pm
(12:03:51 PM): Selena: "Well she's going to need evac now..."
cubey@aol.pl 12:04 pm
(12:04:12 PM): Ren: "She is alive."
(12:04:21 PM): But that's still not good. Ren sounds very anxious.
VJockey 12:04 pm
(12:04:23 PM): (Everyone can go)
Atrament Corel 12:04 pm
(12:04:40 PM): (Waiting for resolve on the continue here)
cubey@aol.pl 12:05 pm
(12:05:35 PM): (How many enemies remain?)
Overman Zappa 12:05 pm
(12:05:35 PM): *Leading the allied squad, Garrod and what he has left, vulcans, the beam machine gun, and the last of the energy in the Harmonica Shield are fired off into Asag in hopes to quicker end it's attack!+
wyverncakes 12:05 pm
(12:05:54 PM): Selena: "Well, if it insists on screaming like that..."
VJockey 12:06 pm
(12:06:11 PM): Seta! ...Well... you shattered the rock body... what lands on the ground is a horrific, twisted, flailing pile of flesh... that thankfully quickly expires.
VJockey 12:06 pm
(12:06:20 PM): It was ugly, but not brainbreakingly ugly like its parent
(12:06:50 PM): (Asag, Rockspawn x9)
cubey@aol.pl 12:07 pm
(12:07:09 PM): Ren: "Stay... away."
Atrament Corel 12:07 pm
(12:07:09 PM): Seta: "I...definitely do not have friends like these..."
tormterra 12:07 pm
(12:07:28 PM): * "...Thanks for protecting things before." Alex took a second to talk to Roger and Ren before moving in to fight again. Making sure to look away from Asag she rushed in, stomping once on the ground before it, making the tarmac and ground underneath dissolve in its components, hopefully making Asag sink down in it and leaving it open to attacks from those who knew more about what they were doing. +
cubey@aol.pl 12:07 pm
(12:07:56 PM): "Stay away from her!" *The last remaining arm of the Genoace shakily grabs at the DODS gun. But when it's time to aim, it stabilizes - and fires, the penetrating beam lined up with as many of the rockspawn beasts as possible.+
wyverncakes 12:08 pm
(12:08:41 PM): * The Gesterben hauls out the Blade Railgun again, lining the weapon up with Asag's roaring mouth. It hurts her head to be staring at the monster, but she was hoping that her next shots were going to be hurting a lot more. "Adios, demonio!"+
tengusaur 12:09 pm
(12:09:18 PM): Roger: "For everyone's sake, it's time to finish this quickly." Big O approaches Asag, shielding itself with its arms from incoming acid and other attacks... But then, as the black Megadeus is close, one of its arms suddenly springs forward to grab the horrible monster! Roger tries not to frown as he pushes the giant maw away from Big O, trying to keep it from spewing acid into his direction.
(12:10:05 PM): Roger: "Thanks for immobilizing it. Now, it's open for this...!"
(12:10:14 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8fw51qtTY4
tengusaur 12:11 pm
(12:11:05 PM): * Big O's other arm pulls back for a punch, and the giant piston inside it moves back.
Atrament Corel 12:11 pm
(12:11:59 PM): Seta: "Take this...!" *RB quickly gathers energy in its palms and brings its hands together, before directing both forward and releasing a single but continuous blast of light at the remaining Rockspawn!+
tengusaur 12:12 pm
(12:12:18 PM): Roger: "Big O, Sudden Impact! Go! Eeyaah!" The Megadeus punches right into the ridiculously ugly monster, accompanied by releasing the pressure from the piston, causing a release of explosive, hole-ripping power! +
VJockey 12:16 pm
(12:16:01 PM): The barrage of attacks hammers down onto Asag and its foul children without mercy. The DODS shots and the continuous blast of energy from Seta grind them to dust before incinerating what remained. Alex's immobilization of Asag prevented it from lashing out with its legs as it struggled to move. Before it could attempt to even let loose yet another wave of its foul sludge, the barrage from Garrod, Selena and the UN security team shreds it, making it choke on its own attack as a horrific gurgle sounded from its ruined mouth...
(12:16:16 PM): Just as the Megadeus steps up in front of it
(12:16:24 PM): and swings.
(12:17:13 PM): The impact completely blows through the nightmarish beast and splits it in two.
VJockey 12:18 pm
(12:18:14 PM): both sides crashing opposite each other before decaying rapidly into a dried, wizened twin mass embedded into the tarmac
(12:18:45 PM): The rain slows down to a drizzle as thunder rumbles off in the distance...
(12:19:02 PM): UN Pilot: "Is.... is it dead?"
tengusaur 12:19 pm
(12:19:10 PM): Roger: "So long, Asag."
cubey@aol.pl 12:19 pm
(12:19:22 PM): Ren: "Ahh... I told you that everything would turn out fine."
tormterra 12:19 pm
(12:19:28 PM): Alex let out a relieved sigh as the monster fell apart like that. "Looks like the city is safe again...Did those robots attacking at first strike the rest of the city?" Maybe it wasn't so safe after all
cubey@aol.pl 12:19 pm
(12:19:32 PM): Ren emanates relief so it's not sure how much exactly they trusted these own words.
Overman Zappa 12:19 pm
(12:19:41 PM): Garrod: "Well, in the end it always does... That's what we do."
tengusaur 12:20 pm
(12:20:01 PM): Roger: "They escaped after suffering too much losses. Everyone is safe now."
cubey@aol.pl 12:20 pm
(12:20:31 PM): Ren: "Is this your first time?"
(12:20:49 PM): The damaged genoace waves encouragingly at Alex's god-man robot thing.
drascin has left the room. 12:20 pm
Atrament Corel 12:21 pm
(12:21:20 PM): This is joined by RB waving as well.
tormterra 12:21 pm
(12:21:26 PM): Alex: "Yes...I didn't even know I could do this. Or rather, that the pendant could. I thought it was just a random forgery."
(12:21:51 PM): Alex returned both the waves, thought the movements were a bit hesitant and uncertain
VJockey 12:21 pm
(12:21:53 PM): UN Pilot: "Looks like the fighting's dying down around the rest of the city... but we can't be too careful..."
cubey@aol.pl 12:21 pm
(12:21:58 PM): Ren: "The pendant? Ah! Ms Suma!"
VJockey 12:22 pm
(12:22:04 PM): "All of you... thanks..."
drascin has entered the room. 12:22 pm
ZebulonCrispi 12:22 pm
(12:22:12 PM): Suma: "Hah, I am alive."
(12:22:21 PM): Suma: "But it seems I am still naught but a wild beast..."
tengusaur 12:22 pm
(12:22:22 PM): Roger: "I doubt a random forgery would let you summon... Enki, was it?"
VJockey 12:22 pm
(12:22:23 PM): "Seriously... we wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for all of you..."
cubey@aol.pl 12:22 pm
(12:22:29 PM): Ren: "We need to get you to a doctor."
VJockey 12:22 pm
(12:22:34 PM): MISSION.
(12:22:36 PM): COMPLETE.
ZebulonCrispi 12:22 pm
(12:22:42 PM): Suma: "I will require no doctor. I survived the battle."
(12:22:51 PM): Suma: "Such is my nature."
wyverncakes 12:23 pm
(12:23:09 PM): Albhard: "Just be glad we were here then."
(12:23:15 PM): "I've seen rookies with more common sense."
tormterra 12:23 pm
(12:23:24 PM): Alex: "Yes, it's Enki. And I'm pretty sure it isn't one now, it was just what I used to think."
tengusaur 12:23 pm
(12:23:33 PM): Roger: "Are you sure? Nobody wants you to die from your wounds after this is over."
wyverncakes 12:23 pm
(12:23:48 PM): Elma: "Asag and now Enki?"
ZebulonCrispi 12:24 pm
(12:24:00 PM): Suma: "A war god such as I can only die in the heat of battle."
wyverncakes 12:24 pm
(12:24:18 PM): "This is getting more and more curious. Maybe this won't just be a fake-out like what happened with the Shura prince."
Atrament Corel 12:24 pm
(12:24:28 PM): Seta: "We may consult Tikipedia again then..."
Overman Zappa 12:24 pm
(12:24:51 PM): Garrod: "Tiki-whaa?
cubey@aol.pl 12:24 pm
(12:24:57 PM): Ren: "You did well. The city held out for so long only because you were there."
(12:25:03 PM): A few words of encouragement towards the local defenders.
ZebulonCrispi has left the room. 12:25 pm
tormterra 12:25 pm
(12:25:22 PM): Alex: "Yes. I'll explain once I've had a few minutes to gather my thoughts. I need to figure out what to do about all this anyway...You people are Unity Group, right?"
tengusaur 12:25 pm
(12:25:55 PM): Roger: "Indeed. We'll have some things to talk about, I'm sure..."
(12:26:01 PM): Roger: "But probably not here."
