Mission 095 - Destiny is weaved only by our own hands

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (02:23:30): With de Sayard's help, you know where Volya is being held. To be precise, he's in the Knights of the Guiding Hand headquarters.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:54): The knight himself said he will rescue the hostages. Your mission - is to save Volya himself.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:09): All the major Knights should be present, which will make the hostage-rescuing mission easier.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:17): It will also make yours significantly harder.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:04): You know of an approach, a path you can use that will make your entry undetected. At least, until it's too late.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:26): The high walls loom in front of you - all that is left is to enter the gate...
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:32): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
Meraxa (02:26:07): Ken: We're coming, Volya...
tengusaur (02:27:24): Hetepheres: "I trust Nathaniel de Sayard will do his part of the job. Let us stop this madness."
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:57): De Sayard was truthful and the wall seems undetected. What lies on the other side? Only one way to find out.
Wyverncakes (02:29:18): Mizuki: "... Volya..."
peter kampschroeder (02:30:01): Sarah wastes no time in sprinting straight through that gate, her sword slung over her shoulder.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:30:15): "Volya, Jacob…everyone else." Dido says, with a glance at Sarah. "We'll bring you home!"
Meraxa (02:30:59): Ken is quick to follow, ScarleTiger bearing both blades already. Come hell or high water, he's bringing Volya home.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:32:05): Dido steers ShelLancer forward in turtle mode, for a low profile.
VJockey (02:32:09): [Accompanying the rescue team was Interitus. Watching. Waiting. Just like the others she was driven to save Volya and the hostages.]
tengusaur (02:32:37): Hetepheres: "Looks like everyone is very eager to begin. Onwards! Too many innocent lives rely on our success tonight - we shall not fail!"
frifreeman (02:32:56): Walt is leading his team behind
frifreeman (02:33:36): Walt: "The knights believe the propechies so much, aren't they?"
tengusaur (02:33:59): Scaraber moves forward without hesitation, but not drawing its multiple swords just yet.
frifreeman (02:34:05): Walt: "There can only be two things where I think this can end, honestly."
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:15): Beyond the gate is a short corridor, which opens into a courtyard.
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:26): A massive courtyard, with a raised middle part.
Wyverncakes (02:34:30): DuskBird's keeping humanoid mode to kepe down to the ground.
Wyverncakes (02:34:37): "Is one of them a trap?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:43): It's obvious what function it must serve, considering the unit that stands in the middle of it.
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:51): http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/sample/sample-2eb21c21e5a749d6658a16ffde8cfc95.jpg
frifreeman (02:34:57): Walt: "Either Volya is actually a demon lord that will destroy the world (how many of those did we defeat already, again?)"
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:08): Aloysius's Weaver - the unit of the Knights' prophet.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:35:21): "Oh." Dido scowls, as she catches sight of the mech. "You."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:30): You may find the much smaller, human sized figure at his feet.
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:36): It's Volya!
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:39): And unfortunately...
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:44): The courtyard has more than the two.
Wyverncakes (02:35:53): Mizuki: "Volya...!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:56): The raised platform is surrounded by all kinds of knight-like mecha.
VJockey (02:36:19): [Volya, who incidentally had his fair shair of bruises. He raises his head at the newcomers in shock.]
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:20): Also, some were standing guard at entrances and exits from the courtyard. Including the one you just entered through.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:33): The Knights seem surprised, but they quickly raise their arms!
VJockey (02:36:48): "You... you all came..."
peter kampschroeder (02:36:48): Sarah: "Out of my way!" She's still charging towards the center.
frifreeman (02:37:00): Walt: "Or the prophecies are wrong for some reason? Which by how they believe it so much, must have a reason. If they're simply wrong because they misread a glyph or something, that'll be very funny."
frifreeman (02:37:07): Walt: "Except it's not funny."
tengusaur (02:37:28): Hetepheres: "I promised you shall live, Volya."
Wyverncakes (02:37:44): Mizuki: "Hold on..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:37:50): "Of course we'd freaking come!" Dido shouts at Volya. "Did you seriously think we wouldn't?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:45): Aloysius: "The final obstacle shows itself, just as the Tapestry says. To arms, everyone! Do not let them mar our hour of triumph!"
tengusaur (02:38:55): Hetepheres: "And you, knights. Have you lost your minds? You are keeping innocents hostage. How many lives do you intend to sacrifice to make sure your prophecied 'monster' shall be slain?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:11): Percival: "..."
Wyverncakes (02:39:14): "Triumph?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:22): David: "Yes..."
Wyverncakes (02:39:26): "THat's what you call threatening innocent children?!?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:14): Units on the sides - Crusaders, slam their shock hammers into the first ones to appear through the gate.
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:20): Mizuki, Hetepheres, react!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:40:41): #Mizuki?
Meraxa (02:40:54): #Het
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:59): The enemies try to converge on your ranks from the sides, while the middle - the path towards Volya, remains guarded by many more.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:00): Approved.
VJockey (02:41:20): "No... No! Leave them alone!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:43): Lilica: "Be quiet! Do not make it any more painful for you than it already is... or is that what you want? Hmm?"
Wyverncakes (02:41:46): * The DuskBird's whip lashes out to grab hold of one of those hammers and redirect it into the others! "I didn't come here to let you have your way with Volya and the others!"+
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:50): Oh yeah, she is there too.
Meraxa (02:41:53): Ken seeks to catch the hammer before it reaches full swing, in his already drawn shotels. If and when he has, switching on their heat edges to cut through will follow!+
tengusaur (02:41:58): * Hetepheres quickly draws all four of Scaraber's khopeshes, raising them in a double X-shaped block and using them to block the incoming hammer. While the weapons struggle against each other, she launches an opportune kick, trying to push the knight away with it! "Begone." +
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:27): Enemies: Lux Diei (David), Lobera (Percival), Brave (Seraphina), Inorog (Lilica), Weaver (Aloysius), Defenders x10, Crusaders x6, Angelic Guard x4
Wyverncakes (02:42:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9aF9_mZDyY
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:42:32): *"ShelLancer….STAND UP!" ShelLancer morphs into humanoid mode, and darts forward with a ShelBoost. "Lance…Shock!" Dido declares, ramming her unit' and it's spear into the nearest Crusader!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:39): Is someone missing? Someone seems to be missing.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:46): The leader, Zieg himself - where is he?
VJockey (02:43:33): "You said that you'd let the hostages go and you wouldn't kill anyone else!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:43:40): "You shut up, Aloysius!" Dido shouts. "And you, David! This is your last chance to be a halfway decent friend to Volya! Stop listening to that prophet…and trust your gut!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:11): The Crusader raises a shield - blocking Dido's attack, though the electric component causes arcs to run through the armor anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:42): Despite that, the hammer's mass is too much to just deflect it with a whip. DuskBird is slammed into, and more electricity flows - dealing damage to it!
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:46): The other hammer is blocked by six curved weapons, causing it to stop if not without difficulty. There is no need to kick, the knight takes a step back by themselves.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:58): Initiative: Sarah, Hetepheres, Dido, Ken, Mizuki, Walt
Wyverncakes (02:46:59): Stumbling back, the DuskBird's eyes still shine with determination. "We're not leavin without Volya, alive!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:03): Sarah, Hetepheres, Dido, go!
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:32): Aloysius: "Young David has something better to listen to than his "gut". Isn't that right?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:39): David: "... Yes."
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:04): He sounds like a zombie, his words quiet and emotionless.
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:34): Sarah ran through the gates on foot, unnoticed - but not for long...
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:46): (Disregard that, I wrote too early)
tengusaur (02:49:43): Hetepheres: "I will clear the way. Go, and rescue Volya!" With a wide gesture, Scaraber draws its electro-whip, swings it above its head with a crack, and then whips at the foot of the closest Defender, trying to grab its ankle and knock the machine to the ground - and then run electric currents through it, to short out its systems. +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:50:15): *Dido Shell Boosts back, turning to face the knights in-between them and Volya. "You all." She declares flatly. "Scram." ShelLancer's shoulder armor erupts in fires as Arc Thorns launch up and rain down on the gathered Guiding Hand Mechas. Dido raises her lance to the sky! "Lance Shock…Discharging!"+
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:41): A trio of Defenders approach, and one of them is knocked over by Hetepheres. However from behind their backs a more powerful unit makes a jump into the air!
peter kampschroeder (02:50:44): *Sarah runs between the robots clashing in the entryway, heading straight for the center stage. "OUT OF MY WAY!" She jumps, summoning Tiankui mid-air, and lunging towards one of the Angelic Guard near the center with its sword drawn and blazing. There's no reservations here, her strike is aimed to kill.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:51:47): "I'll keep the mooks back too!" Dido shouts. "Volya, we're coming for you!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:51): Seraphina: "You shouldn't have come!" A second before she raises the Brave's massive axe, two bird-like phantoms appear out of nowhere, harassing the Scaraber from sides. Then Seraphina's weapon is brought down in a massive swing as she lands!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:54): React, Hetepheres.
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:08): Dido - several Crusaders are huddled together, and form a shield wall to protect against the electric discharge. Wait, something is wrong - their shields open, revealing canons. Canons that fire, while the barrier is still there!
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:09): React.
tengusaur (02:54:08): * Hetepheres jumps back, trying to avoid the phantoms. She blocks the incoming axe with two khopeshes, trying to redirect its massive blade with the hooked ends of her swords, use the power of the strike against it, and make it slam into the ground instead! Her barrier is still golden, just in case. "You should not have taken innocent children hostages." +
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:16): The Angelic Guard's sword is raised against Sarah's. It is good that you are serious - your enemy is as well, and their moves are fast and precise, an angled parry rather than a straight block.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:31): However, while you strike, someone else joins into the clash from the side.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:11): Percival says nothing - his Lobera simply strikes into Tiankui's flank, the unit burning with a sudden aura of power!
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:12): React.
peter kampschroeder (02:56:54): *Sarah pulls her sword back from the parry quickly, going in for another strike-and takes Percy's hit full force. "-ghk! Damnit..." It throws Sarah off her attack, and she steps away from the Lobera and Angelic guard.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:05): Seraphina: "Ghh..." The phantoms prove to be just nuisances, but as the axe slams the stone wall in front of Scaraber, the impact emits a massive shockwave! Your balance is lost Hetepheres, and you are in danger of falling down on your back.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:58:19): *Dido Shell Boosts left in a bid to dodge the cannon shots! "You bastards…don't you get it?" She triggers Shell Boost again…this time charging towards the Crusaders like a knight on horseback…pouring on the speed in a bid to ram the shield wall and break it open! "You're fighting on the wrong side! You're acting like bad guys! Shell Flak…firing!" At the moment of collision, ShelLancer discharges shrapnel clusters from its armor!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:28): The Angelic Guard didn't expect this tenacity in face of multiple threats - you manage to overcome the blade and strike on the enemy's shoulder, cutting deeply - before Lobera cuts into Tiankui!
tengusaur (02:58:37): Hetepheres: "..." She's focused on trying to keep her balance. Scaraber does its best not to flail while doing so.
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:52): Both units suffer from noticeable, non-negligible damage, before all participants back off in their respective directions.
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:34): Percival: "Sarah."
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:39): All he has to say, apparently
peter kampschroeder (02:59:55): Sarah: "...Percival."
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:50): Dido manages to slam apart the shield wall, the flak causing the Crusaders further damage! But not without a price - canon shells fly above your head but then the knights quickly adjust their aim, hitting SHelLancer a few times.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:59): Ken, Mizuki and Walt - go
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:52): Lilica: "Oho ho! Is this how the married couple greets each other after a long time?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:59): Lilica: "Not that I can blame you for being so cold..."
peter kampschroeder (03:02:56): Sarah: "Oh, shut up!"
frifreeman (03:03:16): (How's Volya being held? Is he being tied up or surrounded by a cage of robots or something?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:55): (Volya is not constrained in any way, but both Weaver and Inarog are very close to him)
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:14): (There was also a wall of other units but friendlies took care of that)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:04:37): "Don't mess with the bull, Lilica!" Dido sneers. "You'll get the horns!" She pauses for drama. "Though I suppose you like to get more horns, given your current hairdo."
Meraxa (03:04:46): The ScarleTiger rushes forward, attempting to weave its way through the enemy line towards the stage. Not entirely coincidentally, his path crosses that of the Lux Diei, which Ken meets head on with blades crossed to strike!+
Wyverncakes (03:04:58): * The first thing to do was to thin out the ranks of the Crusaders, and then see what to do about the deluded mockeries to blame for all of this in the first place. Lilica was certainly high up there though. "Now then... let's see how you fair this time!" The DuskBird presses forward again, Void energy travelling along the length of its whip before it lashes out not for defensive, but to break through the line of Crusaders!
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:30): Inarog clenches its fist and smoke starts to emanate from its form.
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:50): Lilica: "Oh, that's it. I am going to break a hundred bones for every one of my precious horns!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:52): David: "Ah. There it comes."
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:41): Facing off against the charging ScarleTiger, David first unleashes a barrage of energy blasts from Lux Diei's shoulder - and while they fly, he charges recklessly forward as well, his blade - not going to meet with the shotels at all! No, it stabs at ScarleTiger's cockpit instead, he goes right for the killing blow!
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:43): React, Ken!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:08:07): #Ken?
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:12): Approved.
Wyverncakes (03:08:34): ^+
frifreeman (03:08:45): Walt: "Okay, team. Clear the way to Volya! If they want to stand guard beside him, make it hurts." Walt and his team take defensive position around the gate and starts unleashing barrage of laser fire toward Weaver and Inorog,+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:09:23): "Wow, Lilica." Dido drawls. "Stop being so horny for violence!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:55): The guarding Crusader continues to raise the shield, while another behind it equips a lance. While the DuskBird whips, suddenly the Crusader is charging - using not only the legs' speed, but the power of the lance's many thrusters!
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:57): React!
VJockey (03:10:18): # Mizuki?
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:22): Approved.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:10:36): "Hands off my team-mate!" Dido send a barrage of Arc Thorns at the Lux Diei, aiming to pierce its side!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:40): Lilica: "Something like this? Are you kidding me?"
Meraxa (03:11:05): The ScarleTiger's pilot is silent as it attempts to dodge the energy blasts, and then deflect the oncoming blade with his shotels - holding both in one palm! His plan? Free up the other palm, with its scarlet claws, and aim at the Diei's chest in turn!+
VJockey (03:11:20): *That Crusader would find something else rushing at it other than Mizuki, charging forward on all fours before leaping at it from above is Interitus seeking to knock it over up high!+
Wyverncakes (03:11:55): Mizuki: "-Interitus!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:13): Aloysius' Weaver raises its hands, an energy barrier crafted from shining webs and other sophisticated patterns. At the same time, Lilica just taps her foot.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:23): Lilica: "You will find Inarog not quite the same as before, I am afraid!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:47): The stone under Walt's team's feet cracks and giant flytrap-like creatures appear from below it, trying to chomp down!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:12:48): "I can crank out puns 'til the cows come home, Lilica!" Dido shouts. "Not to toot my own horn!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:48): React!
tengusaur (03:13:16): # Walt
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:45): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:27): Ken dodges the energy barrage - it was just a distraction, which David launched to have an advantage over you. An advantage which becomes null as Dido attacks his side. Lux Diei is slashed across its chest!
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:33): David: "G... yaaah!"
Wyverncakes (03:14:50): * With that Crusader hopefully stuck contending with a gigantic plant dragon thing, Mizuki focuses more on breaking through to Volya -and Lilica too-. "Raise your shield all you want..." And suddenly the whip's attack defies physics. It comes surging down, only to bend and spiral around seeemingly at random... before finally... "NOW!" And the weapon stabs forward to put an end to the Crusader!+
VJockey (03:15:15): [Volya was shocked once more... she was supposed to be somewhere safe and out of this...]
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:16): He screams in pain as if it was himself who just got a wound. His unit stabs anyway - overcoming the shotels with a furious strength, though the blade strikes wildly off-target and pierces through ScarleTiger's left shoulder instead.
VJockey (03:15:24): [If everyone was here then...]
frifreeman (03:15:26): Walt: "What? Come on, we're not literally insects for you, are we? Team, disperse!"
frifreeman (03:15:55): Walt's team fire their thrusters and scatters to all direction. Some jumps backward, some sideways, and wlat himsel flies upward.+
tengusaur (03:16:15): Hetepheres: "I am one. Watch out." Scaraber spins around, drawing its laser staff and then firing some suppressive fire at the attacking plant monsters! +
Meraxa (03:16:22): Ken: ...What have you done to him? *Ken directs his question to no-one in particular as he's locked by the enemy blade, expecting someone to gloat*
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:35): The charging Crusader suddenly is forced off-course by Interitus and crashes into a wall to your side!
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:08): At the same time, Mizuki's whip overpowers the other Crusader. The Knight's shield explodes and the unit is thrown back, its pilot undoubtedly shocked!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:17:13): "Shit!" Dido mutters. "From last time…they shoved Daniel in a full neural interface to control his mech! He feels every bit of damage, Ken!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:17:42): "…try putting him in a submission hold!" She suggests.
Wyverncakes (03:18:13): Well that was that... but that scream wasn't a good sound.
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:43): Lilica: "Not impressed with results of my personal training?"
Wyverncakes (03:18:44): Mizuki: "... Not the same old Lilica or David, it seems..."
peter kampschroeder (03:19:03): Sarah: "I shoulda killed you ages ago..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:30): She looks around as the venus flytraps chase after the Genoaces, a look of amusement on her face. It doesn't change even as they are shot down one by one by Hetepheres.
Meraxa (03:19:35): Ken: You can shut your mouth, hellspawn.
Wyverncakes (03:19:58): Mizuki: "You're not the only one wanting that."
Wyverncakes (03:20:00): Directed at Sarah.
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:09): Lilica: "Well well, I encourage you to keep your mouth wide awake! Preferably screaming in agony."
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:30): Sarah, Hetepheres, go.
Meraxa (03:21:08): Ken: If you gaze into the mouth of a tiger, it is bec
Meraxa (03:21:25): *because it bares them freely... or with intent to tear.
Wyverncakes (03:21:56): Mizuki: "Just try not to tear David."
Wyverncakes (03:22:41): "No love lost between us, but he doesn't deserve to be a lab rat experimented on."
peter kampschroeder (03:23:04): *"Friggin late-on-cue son of a..." Sarah gives Percy a sideways glance-then, ignoring him, goes for the Angelic guard again, with a slash sweeping up from hear the ground. She keeps some attention on Percy, though.+
Meraxa (03:23:14): Ken: ...and I suppose Volya deserves at least a punch himself.
tengusaur (03:23:21): Hetepheres: "Would you not show us how it is done, then?" Scaraber turns around, redirecting its laser at Lilica's machine instead! Hetepheres fires a focused beam at Inorog, keeping it up while Scaraber is steadily walking forward, towards the place where Volya is imprisoned. Also the barrier changes to silver. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:45): Percival: "Are you sure you want to ignore me, Sarah?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:25:27): "But I feel bad for you, Lilica." Dido continues. "How about we buy you a new set of horns? What would you like? Trumpet? Tuba? Trombone?"
peter kampschroeder (03:25:54): Sarah: "Not entirely, no."
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:00): However the Lobera does not strike! Instead it poses, pointing its sword dramatically - and the Angelic Guard's movements suddenly become faster and more deliberate, the knight simultaneously trying to deflect Sarah's attack and, with a sweep of wings, letting loose a flachette storm of feathery projectiles!
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:00): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:37): Lilica: "You really are a glowing example of maturity."
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:30): Smoke around Inarog starts to coalesce - a cloud that blasts into Scaraber's face, and Hetepheres feels her unit is slowing down just as Lilica tries to duck under the beam and charge forward, her wicked rapier in hand!
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:31): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:49): Lilica: "Do my new tricks not puzzle you? They do not come from nowhere, you know."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:27:51): #Heph?
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:26): Lilica: "They came from souls bonded to Inarog's armor. I think I will add yours, hear that insufferable voice scream and beg for mercy forever, instead!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:27): Approved.
peter kampschroeder (03:29:20): *Sarah presses her attack harder into the knight-when her sword attack is pushed aside, she drops the sword and kicks into the knight with a burning foot. As the Knight flies away, she drops to the ground, picks it up again, then throws up a green dome energy shield around her to protect from the oncoming flechette storm. "Fucking hell, Percy!"+
Wyverncakes (03:29:37): Mizuki: "... Souls bonded to-"
Meraxa (03:30:44): Ken: ...You deny the deceased their eternal slumber for your madness...!
Wyverncakes (03:31:08): "... No respect fo even the dead..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:09): Lilica: "Aha. Do you have a problem with that?"
Wyverncakes (03:31:22): "Only on top of everything else I have regarding you!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:23): Lilica: "All for the sake of the Tapestry's visions!"
Wyverncakes (03:31:59): Mizuki: "To hell with the tapestry!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:02): Okay Sarah, that was unexpected. Even with Percy's buff, the knight is kicked away, and your shield manages to protect against the feathers, a lot of them flying off somewhere instead of hitting you.
Wyverncakes (03:32:17): "When this is all over I'll see to it there won't even be ashes left!"
tengusaur (03:32:21): Hetepheres: "I am not sure are you making fun of us or are completely deluded."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:32:34): *"Okay, I've just had it!" Dido shouts, Shell-Boosting forward at Lilica. "You're all fighting with a demon who's armor is made from tormented souls! When are you knights gonna realize you're on the bad guys side? Shell Up!" ShelLancer morphs into turtle form and tries to knock Lilica off her feet Koopa Trooper style!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:33:42): "Percival!" Dido adds. "They held your own child hostage to make sure Volya would turn himself in! Is that really what a society of justice would do?"
tengusaur (03:34:17): * And while Dido does that, Hetepheres swings her whip again, trying to grab Inorog's wrist and pull the rapier away, and make it miss! This might be a bit tricky, considering Scaraber is slowed down, but worth a try. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:44): Lilica: "Ha ha ha! O ho ho ho ho!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:24): Doing her best evil laughter, Lilica's rapier stabs down at the incoming ShelLancer. She quickly lifts the robot up, using her own blade as a lever - making it serve as a shield against Hetepheres' laser and whip.
tengusaur (03:35:47): Hetepheres: "..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:35:55): "Oh Fudge!" Dido shouts.
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:06): However...
tengusaur (03:36:13): Hetepheres: "Stop using my disciple as a human shield."
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:14): While all of this is happening, the path to Volya is clear.
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:28): Almost clear - all that is left is Aloysius. But the Weaver is on defense now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:47): Interitus, Dido, Ken, go!
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:58): (Also Dido is still impaled, or rather her unit is)
Wyverncakes (03:37:24): Mizuki: "Dido, just try to hold on."
Wyverncakes (03:37:27): (private0
Wyverncakes (03:37:31): ^(private)
Wyverncakes (03:37:42): "And don't antagonize her until you're free."
VJockey (03:38:16): *Interitus is going to head right for Volya, swinging one of her claws at the Weaver to knock it away!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:38:18): Dido: (Private) "Gotcha!"
Meraxa (03:38:42): @Interitus
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:46): Approved
Meraxa (03:40:16): Ken pulls his unit back from Lux' sword, and tries as best to rush towards the center stage. With the shotels tossed aside, Ken draws the scarlet whip, seeking to bind the Weaver in flame whilst Interitus' attacks!
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:52): Aloysius: "Fool! You will not..."
Meraxa (03:42:30): +
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:43): The barriers around Weaver's arms turn into an energy aura emanating from its hands - hands which proceed to deliver a series of quick punches at Interitus!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:42:47): •"…well struck, Lilica. " Dido says. "However…" Dido slams down on her two panic buttons. Shell Flak blasts out from every chink in Turtle- ShelLancer's armor, bombarding Lillica's mech at point blank range. At the same time, Arc Thorns fires out from the paws, perforating the Inorog's armor like a porcupine's quills! Also at point-blank range! "…not the best move!"+
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:52): However...
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:23): As he is focused on Interitus, suddenly the scarlet whip disrupts his barrage of strikes, making the Weaver feel the heat. Literally.
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:34): You are so close to reaching Volya, Interitus - react!
VJockey (03:44:58): *Which is while she's going to power on through the barrage of blows, swing around rapidly to hammer the Weaver away with her tail before trying to grab Volya and get him to safety within her.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:26): Lilica: "Are you still trying to fight?!" She tries to remove the blade from ShelLancer, undoubtedly for a finishing blow - and then Dido starts bombarding Inarog with flak, and all kinds of other stuff!
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:01): However, in response, dark thorns shoot out from all over Inarog's body (as in, they sprout - not literally shoot like projectiles), threatening to skewer ShelLancer!
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:09): Inarog: "As you can see I have enough horns of my own!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:12): React.
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:30): Mizuki, Walt, go!
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:37): Also
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:53): Interitus is dealt several painful smiting blows, reinforced by Weaver's gathered energy!
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:07): But with Ken's help you manage to push Aloysius away, and more importantly...
Wyverncakes (03:47:20): Mizuki: "Now, quickly... get Volya out of here!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:24): Aloysius: "The boy! The demonic child and his beast have reunited!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:33): Aloysius: "Kill them both!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:38): David: "Volya..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:46): David: "You'll have to die, alright?"
Wyverncakes (03:48:06): Mizuki: "Of all the people who might end up dying today... Volya will not be one of them!"
Wyverncakes (03:48:25): The DuskBird's left hand erupts with Void energy, and it charges... right at the Inarog!
VJockey (03:48:57): Volya: "...Everyone..."
Wyverncakes (03:48:59): "God knows what you did to Volya while he was here, and I'm afraid to learn the extent of what you did to David..."
Wyverncakes (03:49:09): "But Lilica!"
Wyverncakes (03:49:25): "It's time I made good on what I once said!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:49:33): *Dido is not feeling tactical at the moment. "I won't be cowed, Lilica!" Dido shouts. "Let's see who's more powerful! Lance Shock…GO!" Dido amps up ShelLancer's lightning, channeling as much current into Lilica's body as ShelLancer can muster!+
frifreeman (03:49:38): Walt: "You know, this have gone beyond stereotyping, isn't it? Holding a child hostage, fighting alongside a demon with armor made from imprisoned souls.... Do you realize that you just need skull emblem to make the bingo complete?"
Wyverncakes (03:50:53): * While preoccupied with attacking Dido, Mizuki charged from her flank, hand thrusting out! "My darkness will smother out your evil and grant relief to all those you've harmed, living or dead! Begone, remnant of the Black Garden! ABYSS SANCTION!+"
frifreeman (03:54:18): Walt: "You even have evil laugh and ironically pompous name. But I digress. Because the other box you tick is obviously the 'stupidly believe that you're right' box" Walt sighs. "And now I'm playing the part of the town guards who blindlessly charge and got swiped away with one swipe to show how dangerous you are and to show how badass the heroes are when they actually defeat you of course."
frifreeman (03:57:11): Walt: "Don't attempt to talk them out of this anymore, boys and girls. Just pelt them with your guns. Clear the way so the kid can get away safely!" Walt order his team. The 8th Genoace team steady themselves after they scatter to 8 direction from the giant flytraps and start firing, as Walt charge into the fray with heat stake, toward Volya. Not to stab him of course. To stab whatever between him and Volya+
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:47): Alarms flare up in ShelLancer's cockpit. Critical damage! Critical damage! Its armor is breached in multiple points.
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:06): However, adding more lightning was enough to preoccupy Lilica for long enough.
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:22): She yelps in surprise, not seeing - but hearing Mizuki coming. Yet it was too late!
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:41): The Abyss Sanction attacks Inarog head on, throwing the unit away from Dido, seriously damaged.
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:06): The shadows lay low as it is slumped in a crater on the floor, struggling to get up.
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:29): At the same time, Aloysius finds it hard to defend against a third opponent - and fourth and fifth, that is the genoace team!
Wyverncakes (04:01:51): Mizuki: "Stay down, Lilica."
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:55): Aloysius: "Kill the boy... argh!" He tries to slap the stake away but it still hits Weaver under an arm, causing it to move slower.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:09): You are winning, it seems.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:16): Zieg: "What is this?"
tengusaur (04:02:28): Hetepheres: "Well done, SolSaviour team."
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:32): The largest gates open and from behind them, but a single unit enters.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:42): Imperius
http://safebooru.org//samples/1008/sample_82593bb457e64638424efe0d7f7bfb22e59257bd.jpg?1013362
Meraxa (04:02:48): Ken: Was wondering when you'd show....
peter kampschroeder (04:03:04): Sarah: "Long time no see, Zieg."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:03:10): *"Gah…" Dido carefully tries to transform ShelLancer back into humanoid mode and stand. "Thank for the save, 'Zuki." She says fondly. "Pay you back next fight!"
VJockey (04:03:19): [Interitus snarls, but backs away. Slowly. Less out of fear but more of keeping her partner safe.]
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:20): Zieg: draws his blade slowly and deliberately. "Traitors and more... all of you came here for your deaths."
Wyverncakes (04:04:11): Mizuki: "Surrender right now and we might think of holding off of carrying out yours."
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:18): Another unit appears in the visible corridor behind the gates. Moving quickly forward, an angelically winged knight with a sword drawn.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:20): The Arondight.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:33): Zieg: "Surrender? You are not aware of your position."
tengusaur (04:04:36): Hetepheres: "The master of the order shows himself..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:46): He looks around, his allies beaten or cornered.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:52): And then...
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:58): Nathaniel: "Zieeeeeeeg!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:20): Arondight slices at Imperius' head, an attack from behind!
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:39): Zieg does not defend himself - the blade cuts into the armor deeply, causing sparks of electricity to cover its upper half.
VJockey (04:06:18): "!!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:19): Nathaniel: "You have gone mad, Zieg! No... using the young David as a living weapon, turning him into one, allowing the demoness Lilica to do as she pleases."
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:31): Nathaniel: "You were always mad! Why have we chosen to follow you? Why?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:40): Nathaniel: "You have disgraced the former heads of the order, Zieg!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:53): Zieg: "... Are you done?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:02): Nathaniel: "What?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:29): With lightning fast reflexes, the partially decapitated Imperius turns on the spot and slashes its sword across the Arondight!
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:45): Zieg: "I was gifted with a vision... and this is not the Imperius as you remember it!"
tengusaur (04:07:48): Hetepheres: "...!"
tengusaur (04:07:57): (is it possible to # this?)
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:01): (Yes)
tengusaur (04:08:06): (then #)
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:12): Approved
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:08:18): *"Nathan!" Dido shouts in alarm!
Wyverncakes (04:08:46): Mizuki: "Nathaniel!"
tengusaur (04:09:15): * Scaraber jumps forward, trying to parry the incoming blade with all four of its. Hetepheres just needs to slow down the sword for long enough to let Nathaniel jump away, then do so herself...! +
tengusaur (04:09:36): Hetepheres: "This man is one of the last remaining bastions of sense and integrity in your order."
tengusaur (04:09:47): Hetepheres: "I will not let you cut him down...!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:09): Zieg: "Then do you choose yourself in his place?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:50): Zieg's sword deflects the kopeshes away, one by one! His strike was not meant at Scaraber, which tries to dodge in addition to that - but the sting it deals cuts deeply, a visible and deep gash on Scaraber's armor!
tengusaur (04:11:24): Hetepheres: "You would not be the first one who tried to kill me."
tengusaur (04:11:34): Hetepheres: "...Not by a long shot."
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:37): However...
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:14): Zieg: "No, but this is a thing that only needs to succeed once. And today is the day of my triumph."
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:24): As Zieg continues his monologue...
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:34): Nathaniel: "The hostages are free!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:53): Suddenly two of the knights lunge at him from two different directions!
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:03): Seraphina: "This is what I've been waiting for!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:16): Percival: "Enough of this."
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:35): The Brave and the Lobera, each with their weapon raised, strike simultaneously with incredible power and speed!
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:42): Zieg: "Tch."
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:50): There is a barely audible sound. A click.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:23): At the same time, the two units are simultanaously shaken as explosives blow up around their cockpit areas!
peter kampschroeder (04:14:34): Sarah: "Percy!!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:39): Zieg: "Traitors. Truly, traitors everywhere."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:14:46): *"…oh!" Dido says. "They were just waiting for a chance to act…FUDGE!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:02): Zieg: "However let it be known that when I said I am a man gifted with visions - I meant it literally. This has all been foreseen."
Meraxa (04:15:03): Ken: ...The traitor is the one who BLOWS UP HIS OWN FOR SEEING DECENCY!
VJockey (04:15:10): "Wh..what's going on!?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:14): Zieg: "And in the end of this journey... lies death. Death for all that oppose me."
VJockey (04:15:36): [Volya's caught off guard by all of this. The rebellion, the twists and turns...]
tengusaur (04:15:55): Hetepheres: "...Your visions were wrong, Zieg. On one account."
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:08): Zieg: "The world will be cleaned of the impure."
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:36): Zieg: "Why would the Knights stand idly on the side, be a gentle, invisible hand? That method makes the innocent suffer. A more direct approach would be much better for everyone."
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:45): Zieg: "It will start from today."
Wyverncakes (04:17:04): Mizuki: "And you're the moral authority that will see to what's best?"
Wyverncakes (04:17:08): She snorts.
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:12): Zieg: "Of course I am!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:18): Zieg: "David."
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:22): David: "G.... ghaaa!"
Wyverncakes (04:17:32): "You can talk of the big picture all you want but your delusions are clear!"
tengusaur (04:17:34): Hetepheres: "I will let you figure out what I mean by that. Your fanaticism is sickening. How many people shall die because of your ridiculous idea?"
Meraxa (04:17:39): ...a slow laugh begins to escape Ken's lips. "I get it now! I really do!"
peter kampschroeder (04:17:41): Sarah: "God you're insufferable..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:46): Zieg: "How many will be saved?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:03): Zieg: "A small sacrifice to pay for the world and its people to survive!"
tengusaur (04:18:07): Hetepheres: "How many people have you saved already? You are deluded. Leave the boy alone."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:18:13): "…it's people like you that make this world awful! People who want to control everything! People who think they know better!" Dido shouts.
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:22): However his continued monologues are interrupted.
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:28): This time, by David.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:07): He screams and screams in pain - Lux Diei grows with every passing second, pretty much exploding in mass. Mass that coalesces into more monstrous, giant form.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:09): http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/269/a/a/domination_by_kokodriliscus-d2zih5y.jpg
Wyverncakes (04:19:25): Mizuki: "What the...?"
tengusaur (04:19:27): Hetepheres: "...What in the world have you done to him?"
peter kampschroeder (04:19:38): Sarah: "Jesus.."
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:46): Zieg: "Young David will become my Hand - not a Guiding one, but hand of action."
VJockey (04:19:50): "David!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:02): Zieg: "Today we will conquer the world - to save the world!"
tengusaur (04:20:19): Hetepheres: "You never asked him if he wants to do this, did you?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:26): You may have noticed that most knights either have made themselves scarce or are standing on the sides, weapons raised very uneasily.
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:38): Zieg: "Loyalty... so hard to find these days. No matter. Come!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:47): Sarah, Hetepheres, go!
VJockey (04:20:57): [He looked up at the giant. Fear, shock and horror coalasced within... that...]
Meraxa (04:21:01): Ken: Mizuki, I think maybe, in a way, that stupid tapestry of theirs was right all along. But they were led astray on who it meant.
frifreeman (04:21:12): Walt: "Um... what about the propechy that Volya is a demon whatchamalit? Is that still on progress? Honest question here."
peter kampschroeder (04:21:33): Tiankui rushes over to Percival's side. "Hey, are you alright? Can you still move?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:53): Enemies: Grand Imperius (Zieg), Lux Diei Iudex (David), Inarog Gradina (Heavily damaged) (Lilica), Weaver (Damaged) (Aloysius), Angelic Guard x4 (1 heavily damaged)
tengusaur (04:22:11): Hetepheres: "This man is completely deluded in his sick fanaticism. He will come up with whatever prophecies are necessary in order to justify his cause."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:22:22): "I'm with Ken on this one!" Dido says. "Either they've been lying about this prophecy outright, or..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:23): Aloysius: "The prophecy... is real!"
tengusaur (04:22:31): Hetepheres: "We shall end this. Today. Crab Frame! Come!"
Meraxa (04:22:58): Ken: Their Great Destroyer, or whatever they called him, has only now shown himself.
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:59): Aloysius: "The day of glory begins now, and all that support the despicable Volya are demons, to be crushed under the heel of the virtuous!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:18): Percival: "Sarah..."
VJockey (04:23:22): "...."
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:24): Lobera tries to stand up.
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:51): Percival: "I can't do much more. Not like this, but..."
VJockey (04:23:55): "I can't run. Not anymore."
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:04): Percival: "You have it."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:24:05): Her voice trails off. "I get it now!" Dido says. " If this nightmare is Zieg's crackpot attempt to save and preserve the world…then anyone who stops it would be viewed as a destroyer of the world. Which means….that Volya and Interitus are destined to stop them!"
Meraxa (04:24:52): Ken: Well, that's another way of seeing it, I suppose...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:25:10): "Volya…!" Dido shouts to him. "They've been after all this time became they feared you'd wreck their plans…so let's do this! Let's all do this!"
tengusaur (04:25:47): * Scaraber jumps into the air, disattaching the armor of the Scarab Frame, which turns into a more compact, beetle-like form. But at the same time, the Crab Frame flies in in a similar form, with Hetepheres equips - and drops straight towards Grand Imperius, the heavily armored Scaraber starting to claw at the opponent in succession with its pincers with vicious determination! Its shield switches to the golden, anti-physical version. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:15): Percival: "Ten Powers. The sword that allows itself wielded only for a righteous cause."
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:22): Percival: "Use it!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:23): Aloysius: "Ignorant, short sighted fool."
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:36): Aloysius: "Do you try to rationalize anyone you fight as being flawed and in the wrong?"
peter kampschroeder (04:27:40): Sarah: "Alright. Sit tight, I'll take care of this..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:45): Aloysius: "Your delusions will die today, with you."
Wyverncakes (04:28:09): Mizuki: "Toug talk... but wha thappens to all of your prophecies and declarations if we kill you?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:31): Aloysius: "The Tapestry continues to exist! I am just the one who reads it!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:45): Aloysius: "Its truth is on my side."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:28:57): "What happens if we burn that wall rug to the ground?" Dido sneers.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:29:17): "…say, for that matter: the Tapestry's here, right?"
Meraxa (04:29:23): Ken: Besides, one has to wonder if you've even read it properly. Maybe you need new glasses.
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:28): Hetepheres lunges at the Grand Imperius - with Zieg not making a single step in any direction.
peter kampschroeder (04:29:32): *Sarah takes a moment to gather her breath, then dashes in towards Aloysius in a fierce lunge-but she stops a second or two short, makes a stabbing motion with her sword, and sends a bolt of energy straight towards the Weaver.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:37): Something else guards the attack for him.
frifreeman (04:30:16): Walt: "... okay, this is just beyond ridiculous."
frifreeman (04:30:30): Walt: "Are you even hearing what you're saying anymore?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:41): ???: "Stand down, evil doppelganger!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:49): The Crab Frame's pincers are blocked by - another unit that appeared out of nowhere. Another unit equipped with a similar looking Crab Frame.
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:07): And its pilot sounds very familiar as he thrusts the pincers to strike at Hetepheres, react!
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:41): Teremun: "I cannot believe I would fight my own wife like this."
VJockey (04:32:50): "Another Scaraber..?"
Wyverncakes (04:32:51): Mizuki: "... What?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:33:06): *"…he's supposed to be dead!" Dido shouts.
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:38): The bolt of energy fired at Aloysius suddenly starts to slow down as the air around it grows cold.
tengusaur (04:33:44): Hetepheres: "...Doppelganger? Where have you come from, Teremun? You are supposed to be dead. I have killed you with my own hands!" Scaraber's claws move forward, trying to grab the other Scaraber's claws and then grapple with them in a classical super robot gesture. But at the same time, the eye stalk lasers activate and fire at the enemy! +
peter kampschroeder (04:33:51): Sarah: "...!"
Meraxa (04:33:58): Ken: ...She's responsible, I bet.
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:08): It starts to twist and returns back to the sender, guided by the hand of - a unit that looks suspiciously similar to the Tiankui.
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:28): ???: "It has been a while, hasn't been Sarah?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:42): ???: "Too bad about the circumstances of our parting."
frifreeman (04:34:47): Walt: "And I'm supposed to be sleeping in my bed, but here we are."
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:49): The pilot: http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1062518
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:59): Sarah, React.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:35:04): "…Lilica, you mean?" Dido asks Ken.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:35:25): "Shouldn't she be unconcious?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:49): Zieg: "You ask of the Tapestry. I have it right here."
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:02): Zieg: "It and the Imperius became one. With its power, I can manipulate fate itself."
Meraxa (04:36:23): Ken: ...or that.
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:35): Zieg: "Witness the alternate paths, paths that could have been but were not. Or maybe this is one of them and theirs was for real? Who can tell."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:37:00): Dido chuckles suddenly. "Say, Mizuki: didn't we already frag a machine that can manipulate fate?"
VJockey (04:37:01): "...."
tengusaur (04:37:33): Hetepheres: "It revolts me to just think about this alternate path."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:37:59): #Sarah?
VJockey (04:38:23): "If you can change things... why are you even-... you could have done something better!!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:52): Approved, Dido.
peter kampschroeder (04:40:11): *Sarah takes that sword and parries her earlier energy bolt as fast as she can-then backs up, pacing around the new foe. "...Mmm, I could say the same thing...Like what you've done with your hair, Lien." Sarah stops-and charges straight for her new foe. Her attack is a straightforward thrust. Even Lien would have a hard time parrying that barehanded.+
Meraxa (04:40:55): Ken: I think that in itself explains it Volya. He either can't, or won't. He is the monster in all this - you never were.
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:57): The Crab Frames' pincers crack and strain as they struggle against each other. Hetepheres activates extra eye lasers - burning visible trails on Teremun's armor!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:42:20): *Dido backs up Sarah with a barrage of Arc Thorns that she sends flying low across the ground, flying up at the last second to to pierce the back of Lien's mech!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:27): Lien: "Always joking around, aren't you Sarah? That didn't change... but the world did! Truth to be told, with you no longer in the picture, I finally managed to make the world a better place."
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:41): Lien: "I won't let you stop me now. For everyone's sake... stay dead."
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:34): The other Tiankui suddenly disappears in a puff of smoke and icy shards - turning into a blizzard that quickly rematerializes, spinning around.
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:57): The arc thorns are caught in its wake, and fly back to the sender! ShelLancer is now spiky.
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:10): With its damage already at critical, Dido can barely move or do anything.
VJockey (04:45:57): "Dido!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:01): Zieg: "I tire of this. Show them, David. Show them what happens to those who support the evil ones."
Wyverncakes (04:46:34): MizukI "Dido...!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:35): Lux Diei Iudex lurches - and quickly generates a massive energy ball of black light! It explodes, a blast that threatens to engulf you all!
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:42): Lilica: "Ha ha... yes..."
peter kampschroeder (04:46:46): Sarah: "Damnit, I hate it when you do that..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:00): Lilica: "This will not just send you into despair. Be banished into a plane of nothingness!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:06): Everyone, react!
VJockey (04:47:16): "!!!"
VJockey (04:47:28): #Everyone!
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:33): Approved.
Meraxa (04:47:34): Ken: No time-!
tengusaur (04:48:13): Hetepheres: "Avoid this, no matter the cost. If it hits you, it is all over!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:48:43): "Gah!" Dido curses. "Little help here?"
VJockey (04:48:54): *Interitus runs. But not in the direction that people would have hoped. Both Volya and his parther rush headfirst towards the all consuming void... reaching towards it!+
Wyverncakes (04:49:07): * Mizuki doesn't need to be told twice! The DuskBird springs backwards, throwing Dido a possibly literal lifeline of a whip to try to get it to safety!+
frifreeman (04:49:08): Walt: "Everyone! Get away!"
VJockey (04:49:11): "GET BACK!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:19): Lilica: "What...?"
Meraxa (04:49:21): Ken: Volya!
peter kampschroeder (04:49:24): *Sarah runs-towards Percy and Seraphina, and hunkers down next to them with her energy shield spread.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:37): (No need for further reacts)
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:50): Both the Lobera and the Brave are kinda getting up at this point.
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:02): But their pilots can only watch as Interitus is consumed by the blast.
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:05): Seraphina: "No..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:16): Lilica: "I can't believe it! The young idiot actually did it!"
Wyverncakes (04:50:34): MizukI: "VOLYA!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:37): Aloysius: "Yes. The prophecy came true."
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:55): Aloysius: "The new world order is upon us."
Meraxa (04:51:02): Ken: ...You... you... Volya...
tengusaur (04:51:18): Hetepheres: "Volya..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:23): Under the attack's power, Interitus...
VJockey (04:51:37): "......I'm so tired..."
VJockey (04:51:43): "of listening..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:52:03): Dido clenches her teeth and crosses her fingers "Don't throw in the towel, guys!" She shouts. "C'mon Volya, Interitus! You can do this!"
VJockey (04:52:39): *Interitus is still there... charred. Greyed. Seemingly looking as if she was crumbling to ashes.... and in a way she was as she tore towards the Weaver like a bat out of hell, pulling back a fist to cold clock Aloysius hard!+
VJockey (04:53:05): "to you talk about that STUPID RUG! AND THAT STUPID PROPHECY!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:13): Aloysius: "From...." His speech ends at this word.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:29): The Weaver is thrown by the power of the punch, flying through the air and crashing into a distant tower of the stronghold.
VJockey (04:53:43): [The whole way as Interitus moved, bits and pieces of her fall away... except...]
VJockey (04:53:54): Something pierces through her back where her wings were.]
VJockey (04:54:19): [Pulling itself out from the now rapidly crumbling body.]
Wyverncakes (04:54:27): Mizuki: "What's happening to Interitus?"
VJockey (04:54:47): [ http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/12062e86893e44f14032217fbc5e3ec1.jpg ]
tengusaur (04:55:06): Hetepheres: "I think..."
Meraxa (04:55:13): Ken: ...Told you. You were never the monster.
tengusaur (04:55:15): Hetepheres: "Interitus has bloomed."
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:16): Teremun: "Do not be fooled by its appearance!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:22): Lien: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:34): Interitus, Walt, Sol Savior team - go now!
Meraxa (04:56:26): Ken: Dido, are the transformation motors still operable in ShelLancer?
Wyverncakes (04:57:19): "Even if it can't walk, we can still fly."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:58:07): Dido starts pulling Arc Thorns out of ShelLancer's torso. "…just barely! How about it, guys? One more toss of the dice!"
frifreeman (04:58:08): Walt: "Do you try to rationalize anyone you fight as being flawed and in the wrong?"
Meraxa (04:58:13): Ken: Even after a flower has bloomed... it still needs sunlight.
Wyverncakes (04:58:20): "No dice needed this time."
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:27): Zieg: "The prophecy... the prophecy speaks of my triumph!"
Wyverncakes (04:58:35): "It's not quite finished..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:40): Zieg: "Agents of my testimony, arise!"
VJockey (04:58:43): *Feathers and the crumbling form she had shed away falling from her new form, Interitus raises a hand before her face. A vibrant green glow shone from the palm of her hand before she lashed out at Zieg!+
Wyverncakes (04:59:02): "But shut up about your worthless prophecy! We're going to shine through!"
Wyverncakes (04:59:09): "SAVE OUR SOL-"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:59:15): "…oh man." Dido says, cracking her knuckles and activating the combination protocols. "Time to Let the Sunshine In!"
Wyverncakes (04:59:45): The DuskBird dove towards the ScarleTiger, which in turn charged at the ShelLancer. In a flash the machines began to transform, the two gigantic legs extending from the Lancer's shell as the side opposite of it opened up and swung down, forming hips. The ScarleTiger -now forming an incomplete torso with a right arm- connected with the white machine. The contrasting colors mixed and flowed; red, orange, and white arranged perfectly.

And lastly the DuskBird docked with the ScarleTiger's back, nearly its entire form now that of a black arm radiating malevolence. From the combined machine's back the DuskBird's six wings unfurled, displaying their full size and granduer, and a white head framed in a black, avian helmet rose up from the robot's body. It punched out with one fist, its eyes flashing violet and gold. A heartbeat later its arms and legs shifted black, but with a golden armor of their own forming over!

"-SOLSAVIOR ABYSS!"
frifreeman (05:00:06): Walt:" Surround the boss, team! If they're so shiny and light, let's see if they like actual beam of light. Focused light. I'm saying about laser shots, of course." Walt's team skate around Zieg and fires toward him from all around him.
frifreeman (05:00:15): +
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:24): A new unit appears in a twist of reality - another summon of Zieg!
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:43): It looks like... a giant, demonic humanoid crafted of black solid shadows.
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:50): Almost like DuskBird, but larger, and much more ominous.
Wyverncakes (05:00:57): Mizuki: "..."
Wyverncakes (05:01:05): "... Why am I not surprised?"
Meraxa (05:01:18): Ken: He really has no sense of irony.
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:20): ???: "Ah, accursed light. Begone!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:28): The pilot may look familiar for you:
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:29): http://mangafox.me/manga/superior/v02/c005/16.html
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:01:30): Dido: "So that's evil you, eh Mizuki?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:01:35): She whistles softly.
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:20): Empress Marianas starts to manifest a powerful negative energy attack of her own, shards of black light escaping from the evil copy DuskBird's hands.
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:37): Then, another unit appears! A fourth summon from Zieg.
tengusaur (05:02:56): Hetepheres: "How many abominable copies are you going to summon?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:01): http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/7/7d/Rgm-79.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/300?cb=20140731162815
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:10): It looks... a bit like a Genoace, but not quite.
Wyverncakes (05:03:37): * "You first!" SolSavior smacks its hands together, Void and Sol energy building up in between both of them, before they're thrusted out at this newcomer! "I don't have time for mockeries of who I am! SOL SAAAALVATION!" The blast is fired straight out at the doppelganger, full power!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:38): It appears behind Marianas, and gives her a shove. Interrupting her attack - long enough for her to be slowed down by the beam, fired by Interitus!
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:54): Zieg: "..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:03:57): "…scrapping the bottom of the fate barrel, are we Zieg?" Dido shouts.
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:11): Zieg: "I did not expect this."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:21): The not-Genoace starts to weave out of existence as soon as it appeared.
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:38): ???: "I trust you to make a good judgement here. I always do."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:45): ???: "Please don't forget, okay?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:52): The pilot says a few words before disappearing.
Meraxa (05:04:55): Ken: ...I guess there really isn't a reality where Walt can change enough to be evil...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:05:19): "…maybe he's an optimist in that one?" Dido muses.
Wyverncakes (05:05:41): Mizuki: "So long as he's helping, I don't mind."
tengusaur (05:05:47): Hetepheres: "...That was unexpected."
frifreeman (05:05:54): Walt: "Or I'm the evil one." Walt mutters
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:12): (The voice didn't sound like Walt by the way. You can't put your finger on it.)
Meraxa (05:06:21): Ken: Do you believe in prophecies claiming Volya to be the end of the world?
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:44): As Walt's team of Genoaces starts to circle Zieg, the remaining Angelic Guards try to block their way!
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:01): Percival: "I don't think so."
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:14): Seraphina: "Seriously, after all you just saw, how can you continue this?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:26): The two however leap at the Guards, throwing them to the sides.
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:49): Zieg: "Hmm!" His unit starts to weave between the shots, using his cloak as cover. However, the blasts are too many and he cannot evade them all!
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:04): The emperor-like unit starts to accumulate damage from lowly Genoaces.
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:32): Evil Mizuki/Marianas' existence proves to be drastically short lived.
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:49): She was slowed down and could not react in time - and the Sol Salvation annihilates her unit outright.
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:50): Oh well.
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:03): Sarah, Hetepheres, Volya, go!
Wyverncakes (05:09:14): Mizuki: "Good riddance."
Meraxa (05:09:45): Ken: Guess she didn't realise we use Sol energy...
tengusaur (05:11:43): Hetepheres: "I have killed you once already, Teremun. Repeating it should not be too much of a challenge! Scarab Power!" A burst of energy emanates from Scaraber, smashing into her opponent - if it manages to get him off-balance, just for a second, that's enough! The Crab Frame rushes forward again, grabbing its opponent with one claw, and lifting it into the air - and getting ready to punch with the other claw at the same time. Except that the other claw starts spinning repeatedly, like a drill, and then smashes into the center of Teremun's unit's mass, sending sparks around as it presses on! And at the same time the gripping pincer keeps getting tighter and tighter! +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:11:56): "…or maybe she got out of shape after a lifetime of not fighting Sol Energy." Dido muses.
Wyverncakes (05:12:13): "Maybe it's the opposite..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:12:18): Teremun: "Hetepheres - I love you."
cubey@aol.pl (05:12:36): Teremun: "Or rather, I love you the way you really are. Beautiful, smart, obedient... but this evil version, I could go without!"
VJockey (05:12:51): *Once more Interitus' palm glows. This time though its to draw something out of it; an intricately carved staff! With a crack of her wings she rushes towards Zeig and David&
tengusaur (05:13:06): Hetepheres: "...Stay quiet and die."
Wyverncakes (05:13:07): "Whatever happened to her, she lived her life as an enemy of the Sun. She probably never faced the power of the Void in tandem with it."
peter kampschroeder (05:13:23): *Sarah: "Alright, Lien, let's dance." Sarah gathers a ball of energy in Tiankui's right hand, chucking it at her doppelganger. The shot is slow and easy to dodge, but Sarah follows it up by charging after-and past it, swinging up from the ground with her sword.&
cubey@aol.pl (05:13:38): The enemy Crab Frame is hit by a shockwave of Scarab Power - however the main unit leaps away from it, and tries to fire its laser staves from above!
cubey@aol.pl (05:13:41): React, Hetepheres!
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:03): Lien: "Just like old times, right? Let's."
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:48): She draws her sword, and the alternate Tiankui emanates a frosty aura! "Come, Ten Powers!" She spins, trying to jump above the energy blast and delivering a whirlwind slash while doing so. React.
tengusaur (05:16:01): * Hetepheres doesn't try to evade this attack - she's going to tank it with the silver, anti-energy barrier. And instead, she fires double rocket pincers at the enemy Crab Frame, one after another - the first, to grab the opponent and pin him into a wall behind him. The second, spinning, to drill at him while pinned! +
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:49): Teremun: "The silver Noble Barrier... does not protect against physical attack?! What is this?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:24): Without the Crab Frame, the enemy Emperor Scaraber is grabbed by the pincer rocket punch. One of them - the other pierces through its body!
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:39): The unit explodes, the pincers returning back to their owner.
peter kampschroeder (05:17:45): *Sarah goes into a slide to try to avoid the wild slash of Lien's sword. She moves her own sword as well, but not in a parry our another attack-rather, she hits the ball of energy she fired earlier, putting more power and a lot more speed into it as she sends it up at Lien.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:32): Zieg: "... David."
tengusaur (05:19:41): Hetepheres: "...I do not want to think about the alternate reality that Teremun came from."
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:06): Hearing his name once again, David - does not scream this time. Instead you hear something like a growl, and suddenly from the skies a giant barrage of energy projectiles is unleashed, all in Interitus' direction.
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:35): To make matters worse,Zieg is already following up, moving around the projectiles even as they fall, all to get close to Volya - and try to skewer through Interitus with his rapier!
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:38): React/continue
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:40): Her blade merely nicks Sarah's Tiankui - but as Lien sees the energy ball coming, she too tries to deflect it with her sword.
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:59): Unfortunately it explodes in her face instead, the Tiankui flying a bit back before reorienting itself, damaged.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:22:20): *"Oh Fudge…SOL SANCTUM! SPOOLING UP!" Dido raises SolSavior's palm and a swirling barrier of light and dark billows out to shield them!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:46): (Who are you reacting to?)
peter kampschroeder (05:22:51): Sarah's own unit pulls itself to its feet. "Round one, set. Ready for round two?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:14): Lien: "Sarah... tell me one thing."
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:21): Lien: "How old are you, exactly? As in, now."
peter kampschroeder (05:23:59): Sarah: "...Twenty-seven...ish."
VJockey (05:24:03): *Interitus spins the staff once and swings it rapidly to counter both the barrage as well as the incoming Rapier! Seeking to keep the blade at bay while an otherworldly glow seemed to resonate through her body...
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:49): Lien: "I see."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:55): She says nothing else.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:05): But there was something about her tone...
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:24): (Team Sol Savior and Walt can also move in the meantime)
VJockey (05:25:33): "After destruction/Resurrection. After death/Rebirth. To the dark/Light. To the end/A beginning. The world is fair/Just. It gives/Takes away. There is balance/There is life. It is the sun/And the moon."
Wyverncakes (05:25:41): (False alarm on the Sol Sanctum front. Sorry)
peter kampschroeder (05:26:53): Sarah: "...Hey, not all of us have cheaty magic."
VJockey (05:27:46): The energy blasted out from her body like a nova, rushing across the ground in the form of an ethereal meadow of flowers that sought to ensnare the Lux Diei and Imperius! "This is.../Eternity"
VJockey (05:27:51): +
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:16): Zieg's advance stops.
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:22): Zieg: "... Oh no."
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:41): Even before Interitus's action completes, he is already covering himself with his cloak and trying to get away instead of progressing forward.
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:16): This is before the energy unleashed overcomes and absorbs David's barrage - pushing the giant away!
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:33): Zieg himself uses the cloak for cover, but he is forced to kneel and Imperius is taking damage even as he does so!
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:37): David: "Ah... ahh...."
Wyverncakes (05:29:41): * You know who else needs to be put down? "... You've run around long enough, Lilica." SolSavior turns its gaze towards the Inarog, eyes shimmering before beams of orange and violet shoot out at the damaged machine! But rather than travel side-by-side, the orange breaks off to the side as the violet continues forward! "Game over, Lilica. Time to reunite you with all your old friends in the Black Garden." Both surge towards the crippled machine.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:43): David: "Volya? Is that you?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:37): Lilica: "No! Don't you dare look down on me, whelp!"
VJockey (05:30:46): "David?... Yeah... yeah its me! Just... just give me a minute! I'll get you out!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:06): As a desperate measure, she summons the flytraps again. They try to bite down on SolSaviour from below - including its most damaged ShellLancer parts in particular, to stop it from firing its beams!
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:06): React.
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:12): David: "Volya..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:19): David: "Please die, okay?"
frifreeman (05:31:39): Walt: "No you don't." Walt fire toward the flytraps, and his team follows._
Wyverncakes (05:31:40): Mizuki: "!"
frifreeman (05:31:41): +
Wyverncakes (05:31:56): Mizuki: "Dido, blast these things out, now!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:03): No need.
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:13): Walt's team splatters the evil plants one by one.
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:36): Which means Lilica can only stare open eyed as, unobstructed by anything, the eye beams fly through the air...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:32:41): *[For real this time!] "Not this time, Lilica!" Dido shouts, taking down ShelLancer's right arm! "Sol Bodk–!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:44): Lilica: "My... horns..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:32:54): Dido stops. "Huh. Nevermind."
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:59): Inarog is penetrated from a side and the front simultaneously!
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:01): It explodes!
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:15): Sarah, Heph, go.
tengusaur (05:33:47): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:11): Enemies: Grand Imperius (Zieg), Lux Diei Iudex (David), Tiankui (Alternate Lien Xiaohui)
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:15): All enemies in various state of damage.
Wyverncakes (05:34:23): Mizuki: "Even in the end... caring more about your horns than actual people..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:34:24): "Good riddance." Dido concludes. "I was nearly out of horn puns, anyway."
tengusaur (05:35:04): Hetepheres: "I do not know is there anything I can do for David anymore..."
Meraxa (05:35:17): Ken: At least now, she'll keep proper company
tengusaur (05:36:40): Hetepheres: "But I know what I can do with you!" Scaraber leaps towards Grand Imperius, trying to dig its claws into its armor, start crushing it and lift it upwards! And at the same time, the eyestalk lasers flash again, and two beams erupt from them - but since the mech it under the effect of Scarab Power, their size and intensity is much greater! +
tengusaur (05:36:48): (also shield is silver, anti-energy, again)
cubey@aol.pl (05:37:46): Zieg leaps forward, trying to evade the beams - even if it means the pincers will grab him. However his sword is still in hand, and he slashes to cut them off if there is such a need! React.
peter kampschroeder (05:38:19): Sarah: "...Hm. I wonder if I can still..." She gathers more energy-but in her feet this time. When she lets it go, Tiankui shoots forward like a rocket, straight for Lien!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:28): Seeing a sword-rocket coming for her, Lien creates a sophisticated pattern with her version of Ten Powers. A pattern that turns into an energy stream, launching at Sarah and trying to entangle her!
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:30): React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:39): Interitus, Walt and Team SolSaviour - go
Wyverncakes (05:41:35): With the annoyances out of the way, SolSavior turns towards the Grand Imperius!
tengusaur (05:42:17): *Hetepheres: "I am not finished yet." Scaraber launches both of its rocket punches, sending Zieg crashing towards a wall before he can slash at its arms! +
Wyverncakes (05:42:31): Mizuki: "This might be easier if the Sol Revolution were ready... but we'll just have to make due."
Wyverncakes (05:43:05): "Ken!" SolSavior's left hand glowed with Void energy as Mizuki channeled her power into it! "Giving control to you! Give him hell!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:43:43): Dido flips some switches. "Disabling limiters…you're up to pitch, Ken!"
Meraxa (05:45:16): Ken: Right! UUOOOOOOHHH! *Ken charges his ki, and the sol energy from within the machine, to the right fist. Together, the fists are thrown forward, to strike upon the foe!* Shiranui... RETSU KEN!+
peter kampschroeder (05:45:52): *It's not like Sarah can change course easily from this position-so she starts burning even more energy, making Tiankui glow red-hot-hopefully hot enough to burn through whatever's coming for her.+
VJockey (05:46:37): *Volya doesn't answer. He and Interitus would keep David occupied as long as they could. Interitus raises her free hand and unleashes several beams from her fingers, winding through the air like ribbons to strike Lux Diei!+
frifreeman (05:49:52): Walt: "Keep the pressure, everyone!" Walt's team keep shooting at Zieg from below, while Walt fire his thruster and jump high, before unleashing some shots from above.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:50:30): Zieg cannot defend from so many attacks at once! The drill pincers thrown him away, though he manages to duck under them before they can strike through him.
cubey@aol.pl (05:50:51): More attacks from Ken and Walt's team force him on the defensive!
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:26): It seems that there is something not quite right going with the tapestry. For a few moments, Lien seems distracted or incapable of defending herself - and that is enough!
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:49): Her energy ribbon-like attack cuts into Tiankui, but Sarah's unit lunges through it - and through the Alternate Tiankui.
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:57): You land, leaving an explosion behind you.
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:01): As for David...
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:28): The Lux Diei is hit by the beams, and screams in pain. The stones of the fortress shake!
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:33): David: "Aaah! Volya..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:36): David: "Volya, help!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:00): The remaining Knights - including Percival, de Sayard and Seraphina, look up.
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:05): Up at the Lux Diei Iudex.
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:12): Zieg: "Ghh... do it!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:17): David: "I..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:19): Zieg: "Do it!"
tengusaur (05:53:31): Hetepheres: "Do not listen to him!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:40): The Iudex creates another banishing burst of energy!
tengusaur (05:53:50): Hetepheres: "Tch... Dodge!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:56): This one emanates from a much bigger sphere - huge enough that dodging is pointless.
Wyverncakes (05:54:00): Mizuki: "David!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:16): Everyone will be trapped by it - everyone in the fortress and the whole surrounding area, Knights included!
Wyverncakes (05:54:26): "You can still walk away from this!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:37): David: "Aaaah!"
Wyverncakes (05:54:40): "But you have to reject what this man is making you out to be!"
VJockey (05:54:42): "!!!!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:43): It doesn't look like he's listening.
VJockey (05:54:47): "David..."
VJockey (05:54:55): "Ha..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:55:08): "Be a hero for once! David!" Dido shouts.
VJockey (05:55:21): "I guess it really is fate... isn't it..."
peter kampschroeder (05:55:25): Sarah gets ready to defend...
VJockey (05:55:37): "You and me..."
VJockey (05:56:03): "...The prophecy said I had to die to save everyone... didn't it..."
Wyverncakes (05:57:18): Mizuki: "Not you too Volya...!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:57:32): "…Volya, no!" Dido shouts. "Don't you dare! I've… we've had enough of watching people sacrifice themselves!"
VJockey (05:58:17): "...David's my friend. And..."
VJockey (05:58:26): "And I owe you guys for everything..."
VJockey (05:58:58): "This is my responsibility... I can't run away..."
VJockey (05:59:14): [Volya is silently crying as he says this.]
VJockey (05:59:33): "I'll.... I'll say hi to Seta and Ren for you guys...."
Meraxa (05:59:48): Ken: Volya!
VJockey (05:59:53): # Everyone again.
tengusaur (05:59:58): Hetepheres: "...Is this really your decision?"
VJockey (06:00:10): "...It is..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:00:11): Approved.
VJockey (06:02:02): *Interitus tears towards the consuming sphere, her body gleaming with energy like before. Gaining speed as a storm of etheral flowers scatter from her body as she reaches out with both arms once more
VJockey (06:02:09): "After destruction/Resurrection..... After death/Rebirth. To the dark/Light. To the end/A beginning. The world is fair/Just. It gives/Takes away. There is balance/There is life. It is the sun/And the moon."
VJockey (06:02:21): "This is..../Our farewell..."
VJockey (06:02:36): +
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:43): There is a huge, blinding explosion. And when it's over...
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:49): Both Interitus, and Lux Diei...
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:54): Volya and David - are all gone.
Meraxa (06:03:10): Ken: ...no...
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:14): Zieg: "... I surrender."
Wyverncakes (06:03:28): Mizuki: "Shut up."
tengusaur (06:03:41): Hetepheres: "Lay down your weapons."
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:06): Zieg: "You are accepting surrender, are you not? Or are you so petty that you want to spill more blood after what happened?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:11): His unit drops down the sword it carries.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:04:44): "…get out of your mech, Zieg." Dido says in a lifeless monotone.
Meraxa (06:04:49): Ken: ...petty...? *Ken shakes at his controls. He still has it... could still move...*
tengusaur (06:05:08): Hetepheres: "I am sorry, Volya. In the end, I could not keep my promise to you."
peter kampschroeder (06:05:37): Sarah: "We're taking him back alive."
Wyverncakes (06:05:49): Mizuki: "Volya..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:26): The Knights were stopped. Their leader surrenders, his ambition in ruins.
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:47): But... Volya, the boy whom they all wanted to kill, in the end gave up his life.
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:50): MISSION
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:52): Crack...
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:55): Crack, crack....
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:08): A hole starts to open in midair.
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:16): High above you.
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:28): High above you, yet the rift starts to reach down all to the ground level.
tengusaur (06:07:46): Hetepheres: "...What is this phenomenon?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:47): Suddenly it bursts open.
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:54): From the other side, something appears.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:08:00): Dido: "oh…hell yes!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:11): Something... gargantuan and majestic in size, yet moving with only gentle and deliberate movements.
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:15): http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=93572
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:53): Moving its giant head, the creature deposits something.
cubey@aol.pl (06:09:00): That something being Interitus.
cubey@aol.pl (06:09:19): Volya and David lying near it. Breathing lightly and for the latter unconscious - but alive.
cubey@aol.pl (06:09:41): Up in the tallest branches of this being, you can see the Lux Diei - in its primal form, before it grew huge.
Wyverncakes (06:09:47): Mizuki: "What... happened?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:09:52): It seems to be slowly fusing with the giant.
Meraxa (06:10:01): Ken: ...Interitus...?
peter kampschroeder (06:10:03): Sarah: "...I don't understand..."
tengusaur (06:10:07): Hetepheres: "...This majestic creature. Is this what Interitus will become, over time?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:22): The creature nuzzles Interitus, almost encouragingly.
Meraxa (06:10:26): Ken: Its... mother, maybe?
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:47): Before turning around, its huge mass moving.
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:55): And then.... it departs back, to where it came from.
cubey@aol.pl (06:11:25): At the same time, the Grand Imperius... lies flat on the floor.
cubey@aol.pl (06:11:30): Its pilot lost consciousness.
cubey@aol.pl (06:11:32): Probably from shock.
cubey@aol.pl (06:11:50): You have no idea what exactly did you saw. But you have some very strong suspicions.
cubey@aol.pl (06:11:57): MISSION COMPLETE
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:11:58): "…well how about that, Zieg." Dido says, unaware of his unconsciousness. "Your precious Tapestry has finally, definitively produced a false result."
cubey@aol.pl (06:12:01): (For real this time)
Meraxa (06:12:19): Ken: ...Volya! *Ken suddenly realises, and he hits the opening for his cockpit. The drop is immense, but he clambers his way down all the same. He runs towards his friend*
VJockey (06:13:22): "Ow... ow..."
tengusaur (06:13:30): Hetepheres: "Unity Group, we request medical assistance. Volya and all the hostages were successfully rescued. I repeat, they are alive."
VJockey (06:13:32): "..I never want to do that again..."
Meraxa (06:14:21): Ken: Idiot... goddamn idiot... you really are like a brother
