Mission 099 - Shine Tomorrow, Shine Forever

[srwu_mods]

tengusaur (17:20:22): Sakihama Base. The final preparations for an operation are going on.
tengusaur (17:20:27): A very special operation.
tengusaur (17:20:50): Huffman: "Are all the TSENs charging? Good."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:21:38): Dido yawns and pokes her head up from the beneath the blanket and bench she was sleeping on in the Hanger Bay. "Ish ut time…?" She mumbles.
tengusaur (17:21:51): Huffman: "Thanks to the data obtained from Indalph units, and observation of the dimensional anomaly they used to teleport their units in, we are able to replicate the effect."
tengusaur (17:22:12): Huffman: "To be precise, we will teleport our units into the Indalph dimension, using TSEN."
tengusaur (17:22:54): Huffman: "This is untested, of course. Any kind of trial could warn the Indalph about our attack! But don't worry, I made sure all the calculations are correct. The chance of failure is miniscule."
Meraxa (17:23:15): Ken lightly kicks Dido's sides. "Come on, get ready. We're going soon."
peter kampschroeder (17:23:24): Sarah: "...I'll take your word for it."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:24:17): "Ow!" Dido says, rubbing her sides and getting up. "Yup," She says. "I guess it's time…"
Wyverncakes (17:24:31): Mizuki meanwhile is looking over the latest update about the QuasArmor.
tengusaur (17:24:55): Huffman: "Teleporting units on such a distance, using dimensions other than the three we're used to... Talk about a breakthrough. Of course this means the devices will take a bit longer to recharge than usual, but we'll send you reinforcements as soon as one of them becomes available again."
Wyverncakes (17:24:56): "They got it ready for this then... our trump card..."
tengusaur (17:25:16): Huffman: "Speaking of which, I believe they're about to get ready. Any questions?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:25:23): As you look at the machines assigned to the sorties, you see that they're in tip-top shape. Gleaming even. Dido must have pulled a late-night shift to make sure ever mech was in peak condition.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:26:17): "I have one question," Dido says, raising her hand. "Does this breakthrough mean we could zap ourselves into other dimension, if we knew their coordinates?"
tengusaur (17:28:06): Huffman: "Technically we always could, if we knew the coordinates. But using TSEN to transport to an unstable location, where another TSEN is not present... Very unreliable. And energy-consuming! It took a lot of preparation to be able to do just this one jump. Make sure to get the best out of it, hmm?"
Meraxa (17:28:57): Ken: Time to topple an interdimensional empire then.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:29:17): "And have words with an old friend," Dido adds grimly.
Wyverncakes (17:29:28): "She's not our friend any more..."
peter kampschroeder (17:29:39): Sarah: "...?"
peter kampschroeder (17:30:08): "Meh, I think I get the idea."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:30:13): "Yeah," Dido admits, clenching her fist. "Damn you, Sarah!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:30:35): She glances at Sarah "Daniels". "Oh, not you! Another Sarah!"
Wyverncakes (17:30:51): Mizuki just... lets off a brief, sad little chuckle.
VJockey (17:31:00): Volya: "... You guys.."
peter kampschroeder (17:31:04): Sarah: "Uh-huh."
Wyverncakes (17:31:04): A year ago things had been the other way around.
VJockey (17:31:24): "Can you promise me you're gonna come back alright?"
frifreeman (17:31:38): Walt: "Which dimension are you thinking to jaunt next, Dido?"
frifreeman (17:31:46): Walt: "I could do with a dimension of rainbow and puppies"
Meraxa (17:31:57): Ken: Of course. I still have to hound my parents about 'you know what'.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:32:11): "Don't rightly know," Dido says, "It'd be fun to explore new places, wouldn't it?"
Wyverncakes (17:32:18): "I'm going to try to see to that, Volya."
peter kampschroeder (17:32:22): Sarah: "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heroic sacrifices are for people who don't have kids."
frifreeman (17:32:27): Walt: "except of course we'll surely find out that the puppies eat human flesh and the rainbow emit deadly radiation or something."
Wyverncakes (17:32:29): And for good measure, she takes off her scarf, handing it to him.
Wyverncakes (17:32:46): "I'll be back for that. Promise."
VJockey (17:32:56): [Volya's taking that scarf and holding it close with a nod.]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:33:12): She crouches by Volya. "Damn straight, we're coming back!" Dido says, rubbing Volya's fluffy feathery hair. "I wouldn't miss out on the next meeting of Comparative Defense Theology Club!"
tengusaur (17:33:16): Huffman: "All the TSENs are charged up and ready to go. I hope that's the case for you, as well!"
Wyverncakes (17:34:08): It was time. She pats Volya on the shoulder before giving him another smile... and then it was off to the TSEN, DuskBird emerging with each stride.
VJockey (17:34:13): [He beams at them, unbothered by Dido's hair ruffling.] "Good luck guys!"
Meraxa (17:34:38): Ken raises his clenched fist to Volya, smiling. "See ya later, 'little brother'." He then turns on his heel, and makes for ScarleTiger.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:35:10): "Mmm!" Dido says, grinning. She gets into her flightsuit, rides one of those foot-rest cable things up to ShelLancer, and buckles herself in. Then she pulls out her phone and sends a brief text to her mother and siblings:
VJockey (17:35:26): Meanwhile Leos was watching all of this, merely shaking his head with a rueful grin.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:35:32): "Yo. Off to save the world. Maybe catch dinner after? Love, the D-ster!"
peter kampschroeder (17:35:35): Sarah draws a glowing pentagram in the air, summoning Tiankui. "Alright, let's get this done." And it's off into the breach!
frifreeman (17:37:39): Walt: "For most people, a jump to another dimension to fight extradimensional invader a t their realm would be a day to remember. For us it'd be tuesday. Let's go, team!"
Meraxa (17:38:09): Ken: ...I thought it was Sunday...
VJockey (17:38:10): [It would be noted that rather than his usual tag alongs, Leos has flanking him a pair of ACs similar to his own Ethermaster, only seeming less robust and bearing less impressive armaments.]
VJockey (17:38:39): "Well, most people spend time with their families on Sundays Ken. You wouldn't want to have all your sundays be fighting evil."
frifreeman (17:38:46): Walt lead the rest of the 8th Genoace team into the portal/gate/hole in the wall/platform 3.75
VJockey (17:38:47): [Leos just chuckles.]
tengusaur (17:39:27): One by one, your units step onto the TSENs. And the machines activate, sending you to the Indalph dimension. What will you see there? Only one way to find out...
tengusaur (17:39:27): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
tengusaur (17:41:06): After the light disappears, you all are floating in a single place. And since it's not nothingness or the inside of a rock wall, it seems that the TSEN worked correctly.
tengusaur (17:41:16): The location is bizarre...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:41:16): "My folks don't go to church," Dido mutters. "Something about 'playing the game of life without cheat codes'."
tengusaur (17:42:02): You're inside a huge, vertical tunnel. It's really wide, and its ends disappear in the darkness above and underneath you.
tengusaur (17:42:46): Through the center of it, a massive pillar is running. A pillar with numerous, branch-like limbs stretching out of it.
tengusaur (17:43:10): At the end of each limb, there is a tiny copy of a planet.
tengusaur (17:43:28): There are many.
Meraxa (17:44:12): Ken: So this is their 'hub' then...
tengusaur (17:44:18): For a moment, it seems like you're alone in this strange place...
Wyverncakes (17:44:30): Mizuki: "Trophies. I'm not surprised."
tengusaur (17:44:36): But then, a human-sized figure emerges from behind the column.
tengusaur (17:45:04): ???: "What a surprise. You have managed to infiltrate my home, after all."
tengusaur (17:45:08): http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/071/a/a/dormammu__the_dread_one_by_raijin_akuma-d3ach7z.jpg
tengusaur (17:46:36): ???: "I suppose I should congratulate you on this. Not many have seen the Indalph dimension with their own eyes."
VJockey (17:46:56): "And now that I've seen it, I'm thinking it could use a bit more fire everywhere."
Wyverncakes (17:47:02): Mizuki: "... Feith-Val."
VJockey (17:47:11): "Except for where you are. I'd rather see a charred skull where your head is."
Meraxa (17:47:35): Ken: We're not just here to sight-see.
tengusaur (17:47:41): ???: "Indeed. I, Feith-Val The Machine's Heart, welcome you to my fortress! I know why you are here for, and I expected no different!"
tengusaur (17:48:08): He raises his arms, and suddenly there's a movement above you, and underneath, and behind the pillar! A swarm of Indalph machines approaches!
peter kampschroeder (17:48:52): Sarah: "Right to the point, isn't he..."
tengusaur (17:48:58): Hundreds of Part Troopers emerge from behind the pillar, like their master, and start circling around him. In just a moment, they combine into something much bigger!
tengusaur (17:49:16): The giant machine looks very much like the Indalph emperor himself. Only very big.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:50:10): "Well, I'm insulted!" Dido says. "Where's the offer to have us join you as your lieutenants?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:50:21): "Not that'd we'd bite!" She adds hastily.
Meraxa (17:50:38): Ken: I think we've already declined that several times over.
tengusaur (17:50:55): Feith-Val: "Conquest is the essence of being Indalph. We live to conquer, and expect others to do the same. I know you are not here to join me; you are here to defeat me. Just like many before you."
tengusaur (17:51:09): The giant mech (Deep Red) points with its arm towards the mini-planets.
Wyverncakes (17:51:19): Mizuki: "And we're here to finish what every one of them started!"
frifreeman (17:51:28): Walt: "If we do accept we'll just get sent back to the halfway point of this war anyway."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:52:12): "Yeah, but isn't it supervillain etiquette to offer one last temptation before the last throw-down?" Dido points out. She rubs at her neck. "Whatever!" She grips ShelLancer's controls. "Let's go smack this God-Emperor up!"
tengusaur (17:53:47): Feith-Val: "Let us see if you can back your words with actions, then! I have started as a lowly soldier, but grew in power enough to kill the previous emperor, and take his place. Allow me to show you this power myself!"
tengusaur (17:54:08): The swarm of enemies moves in to attack! Deep Red is leading the assault!
tengusaur (17:54:13): Enemy List: Gazers x200, Praetorian x70, Part Troopers x40, Deep Red (Feith-Val)
tengusaur (17:54:18): Initiative: SolSaviour team, Walt, Sarah, Leos
tengusaur (17:54:22): (Mizuki, Dido, Ken, go)
tengusaur (17:54:45): Enemy descriptions:
Wyverncakes (17:54:47): Mizuki: "You two, watch yourselves."
tengusaur (17:54:57): Gazers - small biomechanical flying eyes.
Meraxa (17:55:22): Ken: Saving our trump card for later then?
tengusaur (17:55:45): Preatorians - partially serpentine and partially insectoid mecha-monsters with clawed arms, no legs, and jetpacks.
Wyverncakes (17:55:52): "Yes... test the waters first. But I don't want us to be locked out of using it."
Meraxa (17:57:04): Ken: Right! Scarlet Shotels! *ScarleTiger draws its blades, and rushes towards the nearest crowd of Praetorians, seemingly heading straight in to slash them apart!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:57:07): "Gotcha!" Dido says.
tengusaur (17:57:12): Part Troopers - robots that look unfinished, resembling parts of a bigger machine more than anything. Some of them look like torsos with jetpacks, others are flying swords, and others mostly consist of a giant cannon or a drill, with a very basic body otherwise.
Wyverncakes (17:58:06): The DuskBird moved in to face the Indalph, whip unfurling! "Feith-Val... as one ruler to another, it's time you expeirence first-hand the power that's killed all your leiutenants!"
Wyverncakes (17:58:33): * The DuskBird's eyes shimmer brightly, Abyss Gaze beams lancing out to cut along the Deep Red's immense body!+
tengusaur (17:59:41): Ken cuts right into the crowd of Praetorians, moving down 8 of the monsters with long slashes of his blades. He's getting right into the center of their group, and it shows - twelve of them tries to surround him, and then spit streams of corrosive acid from their mouths, while moving into melee range! (react)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:59:52): *"No point in holding anything back…Arc Thorns…Launching! Empty the bins!" ShelLancer fires an endless stream of Arch Thorns that curve through the air, blot out the metaphorical sun, and fall down on the hordes of Praetorians en-masse! "And the followup…Lance Shock…Discharging!" ShelLancer raises its lance and unless a cascade of lightning, that leaps to the Arc Thorns and into any poor sap impaled by or near them!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:01:06): *unleashes
Meraxa (18:01:33): Ken: Gotcha. *Ken's plan had been for just that, as he has his machine leap high in the air, to turn the acid attacks into friendly fire between the Praetorians!+
tengusaur (18:01:35): Mizuki's eye beams scorch Deep Red, but they don't seem to even slow down the giant, tough machine. And then, something weird happens... Gravitic anomalies appear around DuskBird, before suddenly materializing into semi-solid walls.
frifreeman (18:01:48): Walt: "You say you started as a lowly soldier?"
tengusaur (18:02:25): Feith-Val raises his arm and several dozen of cannons emerge from it, firing beams towards DuskBird. Because of the walls, Mizuki's ability to dodge is limited! (react)
frifreeman (18:02:32): Walt: "Hear that team? We have some hope after all. We just need to turn earth into an interdimensional conqueror first."
VJockey (18:02:53): "Maybe some day you'll rule over humanity Walt."
Wyverncakes (18:02:57): Mizuki: "Tch!"
tengusaur (18:03:14): Feith-Val: "That's right. Prove your strength by defeating those with power. That is the Indalph way!"
VJockey (18:03:38): "And with how much you've seen evil emperors get crushed under everyone's heels you'd know better than to be like them too."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:03:56): #Mizuki?
Wyverncakes (18:03:59): * But semi-solid didn't mean entirely unbreachable! The DuskBird shifts into jet mode, Void energy enveloping the machine both for defense from those cannons, and also to give it extra stopping power to smash through one of the walls to safety!+
tengusaur (18:05:19): Ken starts to evade, his maneuver helped by Dido launching the Thorn Arcs at the Praetorians - between the electric currents and friendly (acidic) fire, almost a dozen more of the Indalph mooks fall! Ken manages to get out of that pickle with only a few minor burns on his armor.
tengusaur (18:05:59): But there are more enemies! A swarm of Gazers moves in, their jetpacks blazing, and they try to catch Dido in a crossfire of laser shots! (react)
tengusaur (18:06:07): (support denied, you have your own problems right now)
tengusaur (18:06:14): (Walt, Sarah, Leos, go)
Meraxa (18:06:22): #Dido
tengusaur (18:06:26): (approved)
tengusaur (18:07:12): Mizuki smashes into one of the walls, breaking a hole into it! But as she dashes to safety... Some of the beams suddenly reflect off the rest of the walls, scorching DuskBird's armor!
Wyverncakes (18:07:37): Mizuki: "... He's just full of surprises, isn't he?"
tengusaur (18:08:03): Feith-Val: "Do you think escaping me would be so easy? This place is the Indalph. As the leader, I can shape it with just a thought!"
peter kampschroeder (18:08:12): *Sarah: "Let's see, then..." She spreads Tiakui's fingers wide, and from each one comes a long, thin red beam. They extend far, far into the distance, and Sarah then swipes them across the huge clouds of Gazers floating through the air.+
Meraxa (18:09:08): Ken: Look out! *Ken locks one shotel back into its shoulder as he descends, and places the handle of the scarlet whip into the other. Suddenly, the blade is flung out by the length of the whip to slash at the floating eyeballs!* Taste my... Kenkama!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:09:54): *"Fudge-Skittles!" Dido hisses, "Shell-Boost!" ShelLancer zips forward in a bid to break through the laser blockade! Then Dido hits ShelLancer's other panic button. "Shell Flak!" Schrapnel bursts from her machines armor, perforating anything still near her in the air!+
VJockey (18:10:06): *Leos and the Frighteners with him unleash a storm of missiles at the Gazers before attempting to rush at Feith Val, seeking to literally decapitate the Indalph power structure. Leos' plasma blasts from his Karasawa were accompanied with Machinegun fire and bazooka rounds from his companions!&
tengusaur (18:10:40): Sarah catches around 20 or 30 of the eye-like monsters with her lasers, blowing them up in a chain of explosions. The rest of the swarm scatters... But while she does so, the Part Troopers approach, several jetpack-equipped torsos and flying swords rushing towards her, trying to bullrush Tiankui! (react)
tengusaur (18:12:17): Further Gazers blow up as they're cut with Ken's whip and rid full of holes thanks to Dido's shrapnel. This makes a dozen more of them, more or less... But the evasion attempt is not very successful, and ShelLancer suffers some damage to its armor.
Wyverncakes (18:12:46): # Sara
tengusaur (18:12:57): (Sarah)
tengusaur (18:13:00): (also approved)
Wyverncakes (18:13:03): (Right. Derp)
peter kampschroeder (18:13:54): *"Hmph. That's more like it." The enemy charge is met, with Tiankui drawing its sword and heading straight into the fray. Sarah takes a fairly guarded approach, sidestepping and slicing at her oppnents where she can.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:13:57): "Ah!" Dido shouts. "It's okay," she insists to herself. "I'm suppose to take a bit of damage, that's what the armor's for!"
tengusaur (18:14:00): Leos and company shoot down several more of the Gazers, but their real target is the Indalph leader. But as they rush towards him, Deep Red turns... And suddenly starts to grow! Its hand gets big enough to catch and crush the incoming mecha, which he tries to do! (react/continue)
Wyverncakes (18:14:17): * Seeing all of those Part Troopers coming in like that made them quite the appealing target for Mizuki, and the DuskBird switches to Bird Mode, repositions, and then back to Jet Mode again to blast through their ranks while passing Tiankui by!+
tengusaur (18:14:20): Feith-Val: "Attacking me head-on? Courageous, if foolish. Come!"
Wyverncakes (18:15:08): Mizuki: "Leos, watch yourself!"
frifreeman (18:15:35): Walt: "So if we kill you we become Indalph's leader? Hear that team? Whoeever got the killing shot got free of the latrine duty! By virtue of becoming the emperor of a thousand world, that is." Using Leos' distraction, Wialt's team open fire with their DODS rifle at Feith-Val, peppering him with spinny drilly laser+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:16:17): #Leos?
tengusaur (18:16:32): (approved)
tengusaur (18:17:18): Sarah manages to parry the incoming sword-like Part Troopers, and cut through two more of them coming at her... Before one jetpack-equipped, arm-less machine rushes at her with great speed, colliding with Tiakui and throwing it backwards! The Indalph unit gets shot down by Mizuki immediately afterwards, though.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:17:35): *"You're looking stiff, Feith-Val!" Dido shouts. "How about some Acupuncture?" Feith-Val's wrist sprouts some Arc Thorns…which then get electrified out the wazoo!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:17:36): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZnTmN4Dql8
VJockey (18:19:02): "Well far be if from me to turn down an invitation." *Leos smiles his frozen smile as he and his fellows activate their OB systems. While his wingmen seek to dash around the hand, Leos tears forward full speed to rush right through the gap in the fingers with all the contol afforded to him over his machine by his modifications. All three ACs draw blades and seek to cut along the offending limb that tried to grab them before letting loose with back mounted Laser Cannon shots, Grenades and chaingun fire!+
tengusaur (18:21:19): Thanks to the electric currents fired by Dido's Arc Thorns, the Indalph leader's hand slows down enough for Leos and company to avoid it, and deal some damage to it with their fire.
tengusaur (18:21:59): The DODS shot fire at him as well, leaving some marks in his armor for a moment...
VJockey (18:22:56): "I think he's a little pinned down to speak Dido."
peter kampschroeder (18:23:10): Sarah: "C'mon, you can do better than that..." She braces against the hit, and resulting explosion when Mizuki snipes the charging mecha. "I had that one."
tengusaur (18:23:52): Feith-Val: "I'm glad you understand the Indalph way of thinking. However... Killing me will not come easy!" Suddenly the electric currents running through his hand are redirected, and lightning bolts emerge from his fingers, zapping Leos and his wingmen! All three machines sustain moderate damage, and their systems are scrambled for a moment!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:23:54): "I dunno, Leos," Dido replies. "His attitude's kind of "Prickly", don't you thing?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:24:08): "Oh Fudge!" She adds.
VJockey (18:24:31): "Hnnghhkk!"
tengusaur (18:24:48): And at the same time, suddenly several large orbs emerge from the walls of the tunnel, and, guided by Feith-Val's commanding arm, fly towards Walt and his crew, attacking from the back! (react)
tengusaur (18:24:57): (SolSaviour team, go)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:26:23): [How many mooks left?]
tengusaur (18:26:43): Enemy List: Gazers x160, Praetorian x51, Part Troopers x37, Deep Red (Feith-Val) [light damage]
Wyverncakes (18:27:11): Mizuki: "The longer he stays in this fight, the more time he has to just do whatever he wants..."
Wyverncakes (18:27:19): "Ken! Dido! We're combining!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:28:24): "Sorry Leos!" Dido shouts. She scratches her head. "You said it, Mizuki! Let's up the ante!" She taps some dials and flicks some switches. "Protocols approved! Clamps ready! Let's do this!"
Wyverncakes (18:28:25): She rose up from her throne, and with a gesture-
Wyverncakes (18:28:31): "SAVE OUR SOL-"
Wyverncakes (18:28:56): 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 as the entire frame shifted to pure black...
Wyverncakes (18:29:06): "SOLSAVIOR ABYSS!"
Wyverncakes (18:29:25): And with a brilliant flash, golden armor formed over the machine's frame!
Wyverncakes (18:30:02): And now it was time for SolSavior's last, most important weapon. "Our trump card...!"
Wyverncakes (18:30:10): "Sol Revolution!"
Wyverncakes (18:32:06): From the machine's legs a pair of blades were ejected out, poles stretching out as the machine grabbed one in each hand before bringing them together to form a naginata! One blade glowed white, the other black, and the weapon was spun around once before being brandished at the Deep Red. "The light supporting the darkness, the darkness supporting the light... time to show you what this machine is really capable of!"
Wyverncakes (18:33:04): * The machine charged, soaring up into the air above the Deep Red before coming down with blinding speed, naginata slashing down over the Deep Red's whole frame! "HAAAAAAAA!"+
tengusaur (18:35:11): Feith-Val: "Show me your power then, SolSaviour!" Momentarily, hundreds of small swords eject from his arm... And then they all combine, into one large blade, which the Indalph leader tries to use to parry the incoming naginata of light.
tengusaur (18:35:14): Or does he?
tengusaur (18:35:49): No! As the blade cuts into the body of Deep Red, he launches a trust with the sword, trying to pierce through SolSaviour at the same time! +
tengusaur (18:35:52): (react)
Wyverncakes (18:38:13): Mizuki: "-Dido!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:41:24): *"Right!" Dido replies! Solsavior's hands are occupied, so no Sol Sanctums…however! As Deep Red's blades thrust towards SolSavior's chest…the Sol Machines leg swings up and and hits the blade's flat. "SPARKKKK….Kick!" Dido shouts. Flak and explosive arc Thorns shoot out from the kick at the point of collision, blasting the blade away! "Colliding!"+
frifreeman (18:42:07): Walt: "Use the tree!" Walt's team maneuver around the tree and the branch, boosting and jumping around and trying to use them to shield themselves from the orbs.+
tengusaur (18:43:19): The orbs smash against the branches coming from the central pillar, and shatter into small pieces, which then disappear! The column, despite the apparent fragility of its limbs, turns out to be surprisingly tough...
tengusaur (18:43:30): Also Feith-Val is distracted at the same time, because...!
tengusaur (18:43:50): SolSaviour's kick collides with the sword!
tengusaur (18:44:28): Cracks start to appear on the mech's foot... But then explosive projectiles shoot out of it!
tengusaur (18:44:56): Both SolSaviour and Deep Red are thrown away from each other, the latter hitting the pillar with its back!
tengusaur (18:45:47): Electric currents crawl over SolSaviour's leg for a moment... But Deep Red is hit much worse, with a long gash in its chest that was still glowing with light a second ago.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:46:38): "If we can hit that gash before it closes up–!" Dido exclaims.
tengusaur (18:46:47): Feith-Val: "Quite impressive! There in no joy in crushing a weak opponent. But enemies as strong as you-"
tengusaur (18:47:03): ???: "What's the matter? I thought that would be it. Having trouble?"
tengusaur (18:47:08): A female voiuce. A familiar voice.
Wyverncakes (18:47:13): Mizuki: "We're not here as invaders or conquerors, tyrant. We're here to liberate-"
Wyverncakes (18:47:16): Wait.
tengusaur (18:47:45): And, at a huge speed, a familiar unit rushes through the battlefield!
tengusaur (18:47:45): EChaos
http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/SolSavior/EChaos_zps5a96de86.jpg.html
Meraxa (18:47:47): Ken: ...you...!
tengusaur (18:48:00): Sara: "Allow me to lend you a hand!"
tengusaur (18:48:41): EChaos smashes into its target with its right drill-arm!
tengusaur (18:48:46): The target... is Deep Red!
tengusaur (18:48:56): Feith-Val: "You...!"
Wyverncakes (18:48:57): Mizuki: "Sara...!"
VJockey (18:49:04): "....Ha..."
peter kampschroeder (18:49:18): Sarah: "...huh."
tengusaur (18:49:23): Sara: "I'm ambitious. You always knew that. I won't settle for worse than the best."
tengusaur (18:49:48): A wave of sonic energy emanates from EChaos, its drill going deeper.
tengusaur (18:50:22): Sara: "Since the Indalph are the essence of conquest... If I want to become the new leader, I have to conquer the Indalph themselves!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:50:31): "…SA-RAAAA!" Dido roars. "You…you Kill-Stealer!"
tengusaur (18:50:39): A big explosion shakes Deep Red's body!
tengusaur (18:51:00): Feith-Val: "I..."
tengusaur (18:51:11): Feith-Val: "...I congratulate you. Well done."
Wyverncakes (18:51:47): Mizuki: "Geh... Saraaaaaa!"
tengusaur (18:51:54): Feith-Val: "You are... The embodiment of our beliefs. You truly understand what it means to be Indalph..."
tengusaur (18:52:21): Another explosion. Deep Red is ripped into several parts, which crumble into dust around EChaos.
tengusaur (18:52:38): EChaos turns towards you.
frifreeman (18:52:56): Walt: "Kill stealer is a good description."
VJockey (18:53:00): [Leos simply raises the Karasawa at the EChaos.]
tengusaur (18:53:30): Sara: "This. This is how you do it. Celebrate! Feith-Val The Machine's Heart is no more!"
tengusaur (18:53:45): The dust particles are slowly drawn towards EChaos.
Wyverncakes (18:53:49): Mizuki: "'Celebrate'?"
tengusaur (18:53:56): And start swirling around it.
peter kampschroeder (18:54:01): Sarah: "...I'll pass, thanks."
VJockey (18:54:15): "You know Sara... at one point I actually wanted to find a way to bring you back home alive..."
VJockey (18:55:04): *Leos simplu lets loose several plasma blasts, seeking to try eliminate the EChaos before it gains any more power.+
VJockey (18:55:27): "I think I've outgrown that possibility."
tengusaur (18:55:40): Sara: "Why would I want to return home? Look where I am now! In the past, but a normal pilot, doing an unthankful job. And now, I'm the one who defeated the emperor of Indalph! And..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:55:53): "Remember the chat we had over a cup of coffee?" Dido says. "Where I complained about my crazy family?" She grunts in disgust. "You, right now? Make them look rational!"
tengusaur (18:56:10): She's interrupted by the shot entering the particles, raising a huge dust cloud.
tengusaur (18:56:26): A cloud taht suddenly disperses, as a burst of power reveals something inside it!
tengusaur (18:56:31): Thousand Faceless
http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/SolSavior/ThousandFaceless_zps6dcfea3d.jpg.html
tengusaur (18:56:52): Sara: "...And I have taken his place!"
peter kampschroeder (18:57:34): Sarah: "Don't push your luck."
tengusaur (18:57:36): There is no sign of damage on the new, huge machine.
Meraxa (18:57:46): Ken: Exactly. And our mission is still to defeat the leader of the Indalph. So, we kill two birds, one stone.
tengusaur (18:58:06): Sara: "Are you sure you're going to manage that? Let me make you one, final offer."
Wyverncakes (18:58:22): Mizuki: "Save your breath, Sara."
VJockey (18:58:29): "Sara. You can take your offer with you to hell."
tengusaur (18:58:40): Sara: "I know you're looking down on me in disgust now. But, at some point in the past, we used to be friends. And since all Indalph lieutenants are dead..."
tengusaur (18:58:57): She sighs, interupted. Thousand Faceless shrugs theatrically.
Meraxa (18:58:59): Ken: Huh, you were right Dido. They DO make that speech.
tengusaur (18:59:21): Sara: "It was worth a try. Oh well. It's even better this way. I will enjoy breaking every single one of you, personally!"
tengusaur (18:59:39): Sara: "This battle has only just begun. Bring it!"
tengusaur (18:59:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjKaBjhCUVE
frifreeman (18:59:44): Walt: "When you think about it, the Indalph are pretty stupid, really."
tengusaur (18:59:51): (Walt, good Sarah, Leos)
VJockey (18:59:52): "You can't break something already in pieces.}
tengusaur (19:00:10): Enemy List: Gazers x160, Praetorians x51, Part Troopers x37, Thousand Faceless (Sara)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:00:10): "Told you!" Dido says to Ken.
frifreeman (19:00:44): Walt: "With how their power promotion works, we're lucky they don't just kill each other until there's just one mega super powerful Indalph exist. Imagine that."
VJockey (19:01:09): *Leos is going to attack the Part troopers, relaying his orders to his wingmen as they try to herd them together!+
frifreeman (19:01:15): Walt: "Everyone know one powerful unit is better than a thousand weak ones."
tengusaur (19:01:32): Sara: "Oh, you don't have to imagine it. You're facing her right now!"
Meraxa (19:01:55): Ken: I dunno, we did half the work. In theory, you could be weaker than the old Emperor.
frifreeman (19:01:57): Walt: "...Yes, I realize I'm in a genoace right now."
peter kampschroeder (19:02:16): *Sarah's focus is on the Gazers. This time she puts a bit more energy into it, instead firing off hundreds of quick light bolts at the targets.+
Wyverncakes (19:02:17): Mizuki: "Whether she's weaker or stronger, we keep the pressure on her."
Wyverncakes (19:02:54): "The Sara we knew burned every bridge, turned her back on everyone in favor of this."
Wyverncakes (19:03:18): "And now it's time to show her doing that was signing her own death warrant!"
tengusaur (19:03:32): Leos and his sidekicks round up the Part Troopers, destroying five of them and pushing the rest of them into defensive. Sarah, on her end, starts burning down the Gazers, her quick shots destroying around three dozen of the units.
tengusaur (19:03:34): But...
frifreeman (19:03:44): Walt: "Right, team, time to surprise everyone. Use our secret weapon."
tengusaur (19:04:05): Sara: "You're making quick work of those run-of-the-mill Indalph. Good I have more!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:04:39): "More Indalph, Sara? Really?" Dido says. She chuckles suddenly.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:04:44): "…you know what my mom would say at this point, Sara?" Dido says bitterly. "That you're hollow! That you're basing your self-worth entirely on others! The enemies you fight, the subjects your enslave, the universe you can conquer…!" She shakes her head. "All because, deep down, you think you're worthless. Meaningless…"
tengusaur (19:05:06): Thousand Faceless raises its arm, creating a portal in mid-air - a portal from which a huge swarm of varied Indalph units come, all kinds, and they rush towards Sarah, Leos and company, firing lots of blasts at them before they even reach them! (react you two)
tengusaur (19:05:52): Sara: "No. It is others who thought I am worthless! Who didn't recognize my ability. If only they looked at me now..."
peter kampschroeder (19:06:11): *"Oh come ON!" Sarah does her best to evade and thin the herd, Tiankui using little bursts of energy to move in the massive, floor-less space.+
tengusaur (19:06:15): Sara: "And look, they shall. Soon..."
tengusaur (19:06:32): (SolSaviour can also move)
frifreeman (19:06:52): Walt: "Ultimate Attack! Mega Hyper Drill Genoace Beam! By that I mean DODS gun of course. But shoot it in spirited way. To her head." And Walt's team do just that. Focus fire toward Sara's new head.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:07:22): "Who cares what other think?" Dido shouts suddenly. "It's about believing in yourself and all that jazz!" She grips her controls. "Case in point! I believe I'm going to help beat you, Sarah!"
VJockey (19:07:40): *Leos simply smirks and charges in. While his wingmen attempt to cut their way through the horde with possibly varying success... Leos simply punches the Ethermaster's fist into one of the mechanical minions, possibly a Part Trooper and attempts to force it into his control. Should he be successful, he'd try to slam it into another to force a combination and spread his control to make a bigger shield and attempt to repeat the success as many times as he can!+
Meraxa (19:08:02): Ken: Saying it wrong again, Dido!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:08:10): "Sara, I mean!" Dido amends. "Gods, this is such an awkward situation!"
tengusaur (19:08:13): Thousand Faceless turns its head towards the incoming blasts and its eye flashes...
Wyverncakes (19:08:31): * Sol Revolution still in hand, Sol Savior charges again, the weapon swinging down on the Thousand Faceless's outstretched arm and a trail of Void energy coming from off of the weapon!+
tengusaur (19:08:34): And suddenly, you feel that something goes wrong, as reality begins to fold and warp.
Meraxa (19:08:41): Ken: Call her the Empress if you have t- Huh...
tengusaur (19:08:57): The DODS shots change their trajectory in mid-air, turning around, and going for the Genoaces that fired them! (react)
peter kampschroeder (19:09:37): Sarah: "You can call me Daniels, for today...What now?"
frifreeman (19:10:28): Walt: "That's unexpected." Walt says as the genoaces scatter, some jump to random direction, some bracing themselves with their shield upfront.+
tengusaur (19:11:50): Thousand Faceless raises its arm to intercept the incoming attack by SolSaviour... And suddenly a dozen huge tentacles bursts out of it, trying to envelope the incoming naginata, and SolSaviour itself! (react)
tengusaur (19:12:26): Sara: "I've already seen you use this attack. I know its strengths, its weaknesses. Your trump card won't work on me!"
Wyverncakes (19:12:42): Mizuki... holds her tongue.
Wyverncakes (19:12:47): At least on that front.
tengusaur (19:14:01): Sarah and Leos manage to third the herd of incoming attackers a little, the latter more recklessly than the former (boxing glove Part Trooper turns out to be very useful), but both also take some damage in the process. If this accumulates, things will start to look very bad...
tengusaur (19:14:54): Your wingmen aren't faring too well, either. One of the Frightener units, and one of the defending Genoaces, are damaged heavily, probably too muhc to fight. Another Frightener is overwhelmed by the army of incoming Indalph and blows up.
tengusaur (19:15:02): The rest of Walt's squad is mostly fine... For now.
tengusaur (19:15:08): (Walt, Sarah, Leos)
Wyverncakes (19:16:28): Mizuki: "Dido, breathing room please!"
VJockey (19:16:33): "...Interesting..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:16:57): *"Don't underestimate us, Sara!" Dido shouts, figuring that trite slogan will boost her overconfidence. Meanwhile, she stows the naginata, and thrust Sol-Savior's hand out, fingers crooked in a almost-mudra gesture! "SOL….Sanctum! Spooling up!" A swirling barrier of light and dark springs up to to block the tentacles!+
peter kampschroeder (19:19:20): *Sarah: "Mrrm. They're pesky when there's a lot of them..." Sarah backs off, drawing the enemy crowd away, while she gathers up energy in her right fist-and when she punches, it makes a long straight beam to cut through the mook horde.+
VJockey (19:19:25): *Leos completely ignores the status of his wingmen, crippled and dead as they were. Noting Sara was paying far... far too much attention to Team Sol, he rushes in, letting loose several plasma bursts before switching out the Karasawa for a sword and seeking to jam it right into Thousand Faceless' head!+
VJockey (19:19:51): "Hey Sara.... your machine doesn't match you."
VJockey (19:20:00): "Lets put out one of its eyes shall we?"
tengusaur (19:20:33): The barrier manages to protect SolSaviour from the attack, though its force still pushes the super robot backwards. For a moment you can see that Thousand Faceless' tentacles have received some nasty cuts from the naginata. Then they retreat back into the machine.
frifreeman (19:21:08): Walt: "That doesn't work. Those that are damaged retreat! The rest, time for Attack Plan Delta 4 Omega!" The rest of the UG hears some chatters, mostly "really?" but the 8th Genoace team starts firing anyway. But what twist! They're not firing at Thousand Faceless' Face anymore! They're more firing at its surrounding, at the tentacles and whatnot! Apparently they're trying to distract Sara! and while they're doing that, suddenly Walt jumps behind Thousand Faceless with both of his Genoace's hands at his heat stake, and stabs it downward! "One of these shiny thing must be its weak point right? That's what a quarter of century of playing brainrotting video games had taught me!" Walt says.
tengusaur (19:22:42): Sara: "Quite the opposite. I know you well enough not to underestimate you!" The first plasma blast hits Thousand Faceless... And suddenly, the unit is not there anymore! In an instant it has teleported away to the side, using the same dimensional manipulation ability as before! Instead of the Indalph leader, instead Leos charges right at...
Wyverncakes (19:22:59): Mizuki: "!"
tengusaur (19:23:15): Right at several energy fields, forming a trap together - a trap that tries to crush him! (Leos react)
tengusaur (19:24:19): However, while she's doing this, Sara cannot dodge - and Walt comes in! His his stake hits the Thousand Faceless, right into one of these glowing points, which seems to dim momentarily...
tengusaur (19:24:31): Sara: "You, though. You can just begone from my sight."
Wyverncakes (19:24:49): Mizuki: "Leos!"
tengusaur (19:25:03): A huge beam suddenly erupts from the glowing spot! (Walt react)
Meraxa (19:25:18): #Leos
tengusaur (19:25:24): (approved)
tengusaur (19:25:29): (also SolSaviour can move after this)
Meraxa (19:25:31): Ken: Mizuki, control!
Wyverncakes (19:26:14): "You've got it! Go for it!"
tengusaur (19:27:12): Sarah's beam envelopes a lot of the enemy mooks, destroying dozens of Gazers and around 20 Praetorians and Part Troopers total. It seems the attention of common Indalph soldiers is firmly at her right now, because the Praetorians rush in, trying to grab and tear her apart with their claws, while the rest of them provide support from afar with beams. There's like 20 enemies attacking her at once here! (react)
VJockey (19:27:48): "!!"
Meraxa (19:27:50): Ken: Leos! *With movement his, Ken rushes the energy shields trying to trap his friend, saving the naginata's energy by charging his own ki - and trying to use it to punch an opening for Leos!+
VJockey (19:28:48): *It was probably going to take split second timing, but Leos tries to trim down his flight profile as he hurtles towards the 'net' and try get through the hole Ken punches for him!+
frifreeman (19:29:17): Walt: "Is it turning red and blinking? Is it turning red and blinking now?" Walt let go of the stake inside of the glowy spot, and sommersault backward gracefully to dodge the explody beam. Well, that's what he hoped he could do if he's in a more nimble machine anyway. Since he's not, he just boost backward while bending the upper half of his machine to try to not get hit by the beam, maybe spinning or landing uncontrollably afterward. That counts as somersault too, he think.+
peter kampschroeder (19:29:46): *She'd say something about "bringing more dudes", but really, this is more dudes. Sarah sends a slicing wave from her sword towards the assaulting Praetorians, then moves in for close combat-their claws versus her relic sword!+
tengusaur (19:30:37): Walt avoids the beam, bending his machine in a way that's very worrying and might result in the Genoace breaking... Except that the huge beam reflects off a suddenly appearing barrier in mid-air, going straight into his direction again!
tengusaur (19:30:49): But... The shot goes wide.
tengusaur (19:30:51): It misses.
tengusaur (19:31:48): Sarah cuts through the first wave of incoming Praetorians, though a few of them (and the supporting beams) leave shallow gashes on Tiakui's armor in the process. And more enemies are coming in...
peter kampschroeder (19:32:07): Sarah: "...This is getting dumb."
Wyverncakes (19:32:41): * With Leos having a means of escape, Mizuki takes control of SolSavior again and lets it smack its fists together, energy building up in each of them! "No time like right now! We're bringing the pain; Soooool Salvation!" Sol and Void energy blasts out from the machine's hands straight at the Thousand Faceless while she's still bothering with Walt!+
tengusaur (19:32:50): Ken's punch causes the force field to flicker... And then it disappears. Leos manages to escape easily...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:33:12): "Agreed!" Dido says. "There's gotta be a way we can cut off these reinforcements. Some kind of EMP? Quantum jamming? Something?"
tengusaur (19:33:46): Seeing Sol Salvarion going straight into her face, Sara raises a dimensional shield, trying to redirect the attack straight at the attacking SolSaviour...
tengusaur (19:34:39): But the attack breaks through, the shield not doing much! The attack burns Thousand Faceless, which tries to defend itself against it by grabbing and squeezing SolSaviour with its tentacles again! (react)
tengusaur (19:35:18): Sara: "Argh! What's going on? This dimension should listen to my every command!"
Wyverncakes (19:37:00): Mizuki: "If there's trouble in this paradise of yours, I can't say I'm upset!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:37:37): *"What's wrong, Sara? Having trouble multitasking?" DIdo shouts. SolSavior ejects its blades and combines them into the Sol Revolution! Setting the naginata spinning, Dido waves it around, slicing and dicing tentacles like an italian chef!+
VJockey (19:38:47): "Heh..."
tengusaur (19:39:01): Several of the tentacles are cut, nasty liquids spilling everywhere. But they also manage to crush SolSaviour's frame a little bit, before both units kick away from each other.
VJockey (19:39:03): "Its alright though Sara. Everyone has performance issues on their first time."
tengusaur (19:39:49): Sara: "Grr. My performance is not the issue! Something weird is going on with thr Indalph dimension!"
tengusaur (19:40:08): ???: "That's right. It's because..."
tengusaur (19:40:20): ???2: "Your reality is spilling into it!"
tengusaur (19:40:32): ???: "Horizon Buster."
tengusaur (19:40:54): Suddenly, a huge blast of gravitational energy rushes towards the Indalph mooks moving in towards Sarah!
tengusaur (19:41:08): Most of them are engulfed in it and blow up in a chain of bright explosions!
tengusaur (19:41:27): If the name of the attack wasn't obvious, soon it becomes apparent who fired it.
tengusaur (19:41:39): It's SolEraser, floating in the air behind you.
Wyverncakes (19:41:51): Mizuki: "You three!"
Wyverncakes (19:42:11): "Good to see you on your feet again!"
tengusaur (19:42:25): Lord Siphor: "The laws of your universe are entering this one, slowly overwriting them."
tengusaur (19:42:44): Tiam Saint George: "Ha, of course! You expected us to be out of action so easily? Leave the small fry to us!"
tengusaur (19:43:08): Azel Burroughs: "One Indalph leader is down already. Take down this one, too."
tengusaur (19:43:41): Lord Siphor: "Let's bring freedom to all the worlds the Indalph conquered, or tried to conquer!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:43:51): "Siphor, Tiam, Azel!" Dido shouts. "Alright! Epic team up, go!"
tengusaur (19:44:08): Sara: "Over my dead body!"
VJockey (19:44:27): "With pleasure."
tengusaur (19:44:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxgwZiCM6wA
tengusaur (19:44:38): (Walt, Sarah, Leos)
tengusaur (19:45:09): There are normal Indalph units left... But unless you want to help SolEraser beat them, you are free to focus on the Thousand Faceless.
peter kampschroeder (19:45:32): Sarah: "Mizuki? How much more energy can that combiner of yours take?"
Wyverncakes (19:46:09): Mizuki: "Thanks to the QuasArmor, quite a bit. What do you have in mind?"
VJockey (19:47:02): "Disabling safeties. System overclock initiated. Limiters disabled. Systems at full burn."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:47:58): "Ooh, good idea Daniels!" Dido starts flicking switches, disabling safety locks on SolSavior's energy receivers.
peter kampschroeder (19:48:57): *Sarah. "Oh, nothing special..." Sarah cups her hands together, gathering more energy in them-and more, and more. The ball grows from a tiny spark, to a large, brightly glowing orb. Once it's good and ready, Sarah lets it go-and kicks it towards Sol Savior.+
peter kampschroeder (19:49:10): "I'll leave the rest to you, so don't screw it up!"
tengusaur (19:50:32): Sara: "I can recognize a powerup when I see one!" Suddenly Thousand Faceless jumps in with great speed (though it's not near-instant transportation like before), trying to intercept and absorb the ball itself! (react)
VJockey (19:50:54): *Leos lets out a hiss of pain, his eyes closing shut as he fully sinks into controlling Ethermaster. Its cameras flare briefly before the OB systems reactivate and its boosters scream to maximum power. He tears through the slowly overwritten reality of the Indalph's home dimension to let loose a continuous storm of weapons fire, firing every single missile he had left to unleashing a laser cannon blast that all but reduced the weapon's barrel to molten slag. Once the weapons were completely spent and useless he discards the dead weight and tears towards Thousand Faceless in an intercept with both swords swinging!+
Wyverncakes (19:54:31): Mizuki: "You're not getting it!"
Wyverncakes (19:54:40): # Sarah?
tengusaur (19:54:44): (approved)
Wyverncakes (19:56:24): * "Full speed ahead!" SolSavior flew with all the speed Mizuki could manage, its left hand outstretched and Void energy emenating from it as it tried to beat the Thousand Faceless to the sphere, to take hold of it!+
peter kampschroeder (19:56:48): *Sarah: "Stupid...cyclops..." Sarah's breath is coming in ragged and strained, that power-up took a lot out of her-but not everything. So as Evil Sara gets close to the big powerup ball, Tiankui extends a finger and fires a thin red beam-straight at the Thousand Faceless's eye. "That's not for you, bitch!"+
frifreeman (19:57:22): And as Leos move forward, Walt skates behind him, gun aimed forward, ready to open fire as soon in the instant Leos got parried or swiped aside (he just knows that it will happen. He just knew it)+
tengusaur (19:58:24): The laser hits Thousand Faceless in the eye, serving as a distraction - this lets SolSaviour grab the energy ball first and absorb it! Especially since...
tengusaur (19:59:07): Suddenly a whole barrage of attacks drops on Thousand Faceless' back, physical rounds leaving holes in its armor, beams burning through it and explosives blowing up!
Wyverncakes (19:59:34): -And as soon as it's within grasp, a blinding light shines through the openings in SolSavior's hand!
tengusaur (19:59:45): Sara: "I went too far to be beaten by something like this! This is supposed to be my hour of triumph!"
Wyverncakes (20:00:04): "No Sara."
Wyverncakes (20:00:08): "This is your darkest hour."
Wyverncakes (20:00:24): "And the darker the night, the brighter any light within it shines!"
tengusaur (20:00:37): Power amasses inside Thousand Faceless and suddenly a big beam erupts from every glowing part of its body! One of the Part Troopers is engulfed by those beams and disintergrated. Make sure that doesn't happen to you, too!
tengusaur (20:00:47): (Walt and Leos react - others are not targetted)
tengusaur (20:00:51): (SolSaviour team can move)
VJockey (20:01:10): "Triumph can turn to ashes in a second."
VJockey (20:01:27): "Let that sink in as you die."
VJockey (20:02:18): *Leos is going to manuever away from the beams as rapidly as possible, using any chance he can get to fire the Karasawa right back at Thousand Faceless.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:02:57): There's a loud humming echoing through SolSavior's frame…but Dido finesses the power flow and keep the energy from melting anything. "Mizuki! Ken! Let's wreck stuff!" She shouts.
Wyverncakes (20:03:01): "Sarah... my thanks!"
Wyverncakes (20:03:12): "And Sara... you made this happen."
Wyverncakes (20:03:30): "I'm the hero you could have been, and you..."
Wyverncakes (20:03:46): "... Can join Marianas in the other world."
Wyverncakes (20:04:10): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOLe6r-qFUo
Wyverncakes (20:04:23): "... FINAL...!"
frifreeman (20:04:44): Walt: "I bet you're now thinking "why didn't I keep being in earth's side. I'll be part of the winning team, as one of the main heroes, and it'd be awesome." Walt says as he jumps sideways with his shield forward to dodge the incoming beam.+
Wyverncakes (20:05:15): The Sol Revolution broke into its two components again, this time being joined side by side, black and white blades alongside each other, the energy Sarah had sent travelling up to the blades which sparked with energy.
Wyverncakes (20:05:21): "SUNRISE-SUNSET-"
Wyverncakes (20:06:28): * And SolSavior raised the weapon up as a massive, spiraling pillar of energy shot up through the tunnel of the Indalph Dimension before it came swinging down, smashing down through that pillar on its way to cleave through the Thousand Faceless. "-SLASH!"+
tengusaur (20:07:16): Leos and Walt dodge to opposite sides, avoiding the incoming disintegrating beam, the former firing another shot at Sara for a good measure.
tengusaur (20:07:22): And then... This happens.
tengusaur (20:07:59): The gigantic slash cleaves through the tough pillar, a symbol of Indalph's conquest. And splits it in two.
tengusaur (20:08:17): The same happens with Thousand Faceless.
tengusaur (20:08:40): Sara: "Damn... In the end... I never got to... The top..."
tengusaur (20:09:05): Both of the halves blow up in a bright and violent explosion, shading your machines!
tengusaur (20:09:49): Soon, the explosion fades. Sara is no more.
Wyverncakes (20:09:58): Mizuki: "... you had a place and it would've taken you far."
Wyverncakes (20:10:09): "But you gave it all up and look where it got you."
tengusaur (20:10:13): What about your allies?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:10:13): "Farewell…Sara." Dido says softly. "Better luck next life."
tengusaur (20:10:21): Siphor: "Horizon Razor!"
tengusaur (20:10:33): SolEraser cleaves through the last remaining Part Trooper.
tengusaur (20:10:47): Tiam: "Man, that felt good! You don't know how long I waited to beat these guys!"
tengusaur (20:10:56): Azel: "All enemies annihilated."
tengusaur (20:11:16): Siphor: "Yes. We made sure your downed pilots are safe, too."
tengusaur (20:11:38): The remains of the pillar, cleaved by Sol Saviour, are slowly collapsing around you.
VJockey (20:11:54): "...."
tengusaur (20:11:54): In fact, the whole gigantic tunnel is slowly starting to rumble...
VJockey (20:12:32): "....Good riddance."
tengusaur (20:13:23): Siphor: "Finally, after all these years... "
tengusaur (20:14:04): Azel: "We should return."
tengusaur (20:15:45): Siphor: "Yes. The beacon should activate... now."
Wyverncakes (20:16:31): Mizuki: "Is this goodbye then?"
tengusaur (20:17:03): Siphor: "Who knows. Maybe we'll meet again, one day."
tengusaur (20:17:29): Tiam: "You can bet I'd like to fight you again one day!"
tengusaur (20:17:46): Tiam: "Though not to the death this time. Unless you want to, I guess."
tengusaur (20:18:22): Slowly two rips open in the space around you. Behind one of them, a wobbly image of something that seems to be the inside of Sakihama Base can be seen.
tengusaur (20:18:33): The other one... Hard to tell.
aldo salt (20:18:48): "Whoah!" Dido exclaims.
tengusaur (20:19:18): Siphor: "But for now... This is farewell."
tengusaur (20:19:31): Siphor: "...Thank you. For everything."
Wyverncakes (20:19:42): Mizuki: "And thank you as well."
tengusaur (20:19:50): SolEraser enters the other dimensional anomaly. In a flash, it disappears.
aldo salt (20:20:11): "…you think we'll see them again?" Dido wonders.
Meraxa (20:20:34): Ken: Hard to say... Would they even be a team if they weren't forced to be?
VJockey (20:20:58): [With nothing else for it, Leos simply drags his downed comrade towards the rip that led to Sakihama and shoved it towards the hole.]
aldo salt (20:21:39): "Would we have been a team?" Dido points out. "We did get thrown together by happenstance."
VJockey (20:21:57): "... For what its worth..."
VJockey (20:22:09): "You guys are amazing either way."
peter kampschroeder (20:22:59): Sarah: "See you back at home."
tengusaur (20:23:21): Leos arrives back at Sakihama base, his unit dropping there to the floor. The rip starts to look unstable... But there's enough time for all of you to enter it.
peter kampschroeder (20:23:43): Sarah heads on through soon after Leos, dismissing Tiankui once she crosses the threshold.
Wyverncakes (20:24:09): SolSavior turns away from the wreckage, returning back to the world that'd helped turn the tide in the end.
Wyverncakes (20:24:20): It felt... good to be back.
tengusaur (20:24:32): And soon, you're all back home.
tengusaur (20:24:48): The Indalph threat is no more.
tengusaur (20:24:54): So is Sara.
tengusaur (20:25:00): MISSION SUCCESSFUL
