Mission 116 - Glimmer of Despair

[srwu_mods]

tengusaur (17:01:27): Last time, in SRWU:
tengusaur (17:01:39): Vagans started their invasion on Earth!
tengusaur (17:02:15): Various defense forces, including Unity Group and SSR, are engaging them in several different locations as we speak.
tengusaur (17:02:23): Battles happen pretty much every day.
tengusaur (17:02:31): Is there a way to stop this?
tengusaur (17:02:35): Turns out, there might be...
tengusaur (17:02:59): While most of Vagan forces are engaged in the invasion, their main base is relatively undefended.
tengusaur (17:03:23): If a counter-invasion force could manage to attack and capture it, the invasion could be thwarted before it begins for real.
tengusaur (17:03:29): The keyword here is "relatively".
tengusaur (17:03:40): You're a part of the attack force.
tengusaur (17:03:58): And the Vagan main base, the mobile space fortress La Gramis, is in your sight.
tengusaur (17:04:04): http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/f/f0/Vagan-spherical-fortress.png
tengusaur (17:04:20): A strange, spiral-shaped design...
cubey@aol.pl (17:04:40): Brye: "Is that a real fortress? It looks like some kid's art project... just oversized. Very much oversized."
Wyverncakes (17:04:54): Flit: "It doesn't matter what it looks like."
tengusaur (17:04:56): Floating in space not far away from Second Moon. The Vagan home colony.
Aero (17:04:57): Rani: "I don't think now is really the time Brye..."
tengusaur (17:05:10): And, as soon as you get close to it...
cubey@aol.pl (17:05:48): Brye: "I know..." She frowns. Their first assignment with UG and it's already fighting to save the world from destruction.
tengusaur (17:05:53): Shots are fired in your direction! A swarm of Vagan units comes out to meet you!
tengusaur (17:05:59): This is it! Time to fight!
tengusaur (17:06:06): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
tengusaur (17:08:34): The units that lead the enemy charge might look a bit familiar to some of you.
tengusaur (17:08:34): Zedas M
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/e/ed/Zedas-m.jpg
tengusaur (17:08:51): But this time they have a diferent color. And there's 8 of them.
tengusaur (17:09:48): Dole Frost: "We're under attack. Magicians 8, repel the invaders!"
Aero (17:09:58): Rani: "This pressure..."
Wyverncakes (17:10:11): It was time to end all of this once and for all. If they could stop the Vagans here, then...
Aero (17:10:18): Rani was getting an ominous feeling from these machines. Or rather the pilots in them.
tengusaur (17:10:21): Indeed, those of you with special powers themselves can feel it. The pilots o these 8 Zedas units are X-Rounders.
Wyverncakes (17:10:28): -But a loud noise from the AGE Builder gets Flit's attention.
cubey@aol.pl (17:10:29): Brye: "There's more of them... it's the same as Desil, before."
cubey@aol.pl (17:10:32): And Flit, too...
Wyverncakes (17:10:40): "-It's done?"
Aero (17:11:06): Rani: "I don't think they're planning on using the same trick he did."
Wyverncakes (17:11:15): Sure enough, out of the Builder comes...
Wyverncakes (17:11:18): ... A helmet.
Wyverncakes (17:11:52): Flit just stares at it, thinking back. About what Brye had said...
Wyverncakes (17:12:05): Moments later and he's putting it on, heading towards the AGE-1 Razor.
cubey@aol.pl (17:12:26): Brye: "I guess not. But you know what?"
cubey@aol.pl (17:12:38): Brye: "No matter what happens, we have to stop them. So, let's go!"
tengusaur (17:13:01): The rest of Vagan units are more ordinary. But there's a lot of them, including a very big battleship.
tengusaur (17:13:01): Dorado
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/5/53/Dorado-front.png

Abigel
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/0/08/Abigel.jpg

Defurse

Fa Zeos

Fa Bose
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/0/02/Fa-bose.jpg
tengusaur (17:13:10): Enemy List: Dorado x30, Abigel x18, Defurse x6, Zedas M x8 (Magicians 8), Fa Zeos x4, Fa Bose
tengusaur (17:13:20): Initiative: Flit, Brye, Rani, Ataru
tengusaur (17:13:27): (Flit, Brye, go)
tengusaur (17:14:23): There's more enemies than those, but your allied ESUN units are engaging those.
cubey@aol.pl (17:14:50): Brye: "There's even more of these guys now... and it's in space. Bleh."
Wyverncakes (17:15:09): Flit: "Any we have to fight means they're not hurting other people!"
Aero (17:15:47): Rani: "Our machines perform just as well here Brye."
cubey@aol.pl (17:16:19): *With its pilot looking around, the Gespenst approaches towards the enemies. Lacking cover, Brye will make some - split missiles, away! Under a series of explosions, she tries to get close to the enemies, firing mega beam shots at the Abigel formation.+
tengusaur (17:18:00): The swarm of missiles coming in their direction makes the Abigels scatter, and under the cover of explosions, three of them are hit with beam shots, and blow up! Several more of the dodging ones prepare their tail-mounted beam bazookas, and fire at the Gespenst! (react)
tengusaur (17:18:04): (also Rani can move too)
Wyverncakes (17:18:10): * The Razor takes off into the battle, Flit feeling the difference as the world seems a lot... quieter. The X-Rounder pressure is so much less noticeable now, and piloting the unwieldy Razor is more difficult. But he'd known this might happen, and that he didn't come this far to lose! The Razor dove into the Dorado ranks, slashing at one of them to make his breakthrough before spinning around and opening fire with the DODS Machinegun at the suits around him!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:19:39): Brye: "Here they come!"
tengusaur (17:20:12): Flit's blades cut through one of the Dorados, and his long burst riddles the three nearby Vagan suits with holes before they can fire their guns. But watch out - suddenly three of the Magicians are moving in, brandishing the tails of their machines like swords and trying to cut your machine apart as they attack from multiple directions! (react)
tengusaur (17:20:16): (and Ataru can also move)
cubey@aol.pl (17:20:33): *Sensing the enemy attacking, she sends the Gespenst descending, moving in a downwards arc to make the situation awkward for the enemy to hit her.+
VJockey (17:21:37): #Flit?
tengusaur (17:21:41): (approved)
Aero (17:21:42): * Unlike Brye, Rani brought a much more physical weapon set. She still starts her assault in similar fashion, unleashing her split missiles towards the Abigels as well. What follows is a barrage of bullets thanks to the two M95 Machineguns her Gespenst is currently holding. +
Wyverncakes (17:21:57): * Three Zedas machines... but he'd fought one before, and in a machine weaker than the Razor! "Three blades... aren't enough to stop me!" With its free hand and legs, the Razor spins around to block this fake-Tsubami Gaeshi before pointing the machinegun at one of them and opening fire!+
tengusaur (17:22:37): Thanks to Rani's support, Brye manages to escape that barrage more or less unscathed.
VJockey (17:22:52): *And as if to chastise them from assaulting Flit three on one, several bolts of plasma come rushing at them from below! For people in space they seem to forget that there's three dimensions to combat here!+
VJockey (17:23:04): ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Pqkjy1W4E)
Meraxa (17:23:37): Ataru's frustrated by how much the last few weeks have gone, throwing off pretty much any plan of a holiday... and he's venting by trying to headshot the Zedas M units as they come his way!+
tengusaur (17:24:15): Speaking of which, Rani riddles three of the Abigels with bullets, blowing them up one after another... But just as she's supposed to move towards more, suddenly a Dafurse moves in, blocking further shots with its electromagnetic armor, and preparing to fire its chest-mounted beam cannon in response! (react)
tengusaur (17:26:08): The Magicians start to push their assault on Flit, but he manages to block their attacks for the time being... A few scratches appear on the Razor's armor though, from the barrage of blows coming from the attackers.
tengusaur (17:26:10): But then!
tengusaur (17:27:05): Suddenly plasma shots fly in, hitting the attackers! This pushes them to the defense, letting Flit finish one of the Zedas with his machinegun! The second one is headshotted by Ataru! Both of those blow up!
tengusaur (17:27:22): The third Magician escapes, using his X-Rounder reflexes.
Wyverncakes (17:28:02): Those shots...
Aero (17:28:08): * "T-Link Ripper." The Gespenst's T-Link System activates and the rippers covered in green energy quickly fly out right towards the barrel of the chest beam cannon. As she does this Rani quickly ascends to get above the Vagan machine. +
Wyverncakes (17:28:10): Flit looks down to see where they came from!
tengusaur (17:28:28): However, now Ataru finds himself the target of a barrage of beam blasts, fired by one of the Vagan battleships! (react)
VJockey (17:28:40): [Who else could it be but an old friend? The Ethermaster is rushing onto the battlefield... alone.]
cubey@aol.pl (17:29:01): Brye: "Thanks for support! That's Rani for you."
cubey@aol.pl (17:29:04): Brye: "..."
Aero (17:29:12): Rani: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:29:13): That new presence.
cubey@aol.pl (17:29:19): Brye: "A friend of yours?"
Wyverncakes (17:29:19): Flit: "Leos!"
tengusaur (17:29:29): (Flit, Leos, Walt can go)
Wyverncakes (17:29:40): Flit: "It's... complicated..."
VJockey (17:29:41): "I'm not letting you deal with this without me Flit."
tengusaur (17:30:25): Rani's spinning blades cut into the barrel of the enemy unit... Causing the cannon to go off prematurely! The blast goes down right below her dodging machine. Close, very close.
tengusaur (17:30:43): Enemy List: Dorado x26, Abigel x12, Defurse x6, Zedas M x6 (Magicians 6), Fa Zeos x4, Fa Bose
Wyverncakes (17:31:09): * There'd be time to settle these things afterwards. For the moment Flit had the Razor chase after the Zedas M that had fled, razor blade swinging out for a slashing position. A spray of DODS machinegun rounds would put the pressure on... and then one sudden charging slash would get them out of the equation!+
frifreeman (17:31:19): Walt: "8th Genoace team, go!"
Meraxa (17:31:26): Ataru tries to shift between blasts, predicting based on where they're currently aiming, so he's close enough to counter back with shots right back at the ship!+
Aero (17:31:36): Something about this newcomer didn't feel right but...it's not like she was in a position to say anything about it.
VJockey (17:31:54): *Leos' turns the Ethermaster's laser cannon to full power before sweeping the raging beam of energy at the other members of the Magicians 6&
cubey@aol.pl (17:32:34): Brye: "These guys have some really heavy armor... stay on your toes Rani! I have a plan."
frifreeman (17:32:46): Walt: "Team, forward! But not too forward. Just... forward but back a bit...."
frifreeman (17:33:16): The 8th genoace team moves forward, spreading their fire toward the Dorados and Abigel in a tight formation. behind Flit and the rest.+
tengusaur (17:34:26): Caught in a crossfire between Flit and Leos, the escaping Zedas is rattled with shots, turns around to try attacking the Gundam, and is slashed through!
tengusaur (17:34:50): However, the rest of their unit spreads out, avoiding Leos' lasers...
tengusaur (17:35:00): Dole Frost: "...Now."
tengusaur (17:35:53): And they rush in, filling the space between themselves and their two targets with a whole crapload of beams quickly fired from the arm-mounted cannons, coming in from all directions! (Flit react, Leos react/continue)
Aero (17:35:58): Rani: "Alright."
tengusaur (17:36:22): The rest of Vagan forces would come in to their aid...
tengusaur (17:36:45): But they're engaged by Walt and his unit! Two of the Dorados and one Abigel blow up.
VJockey (17:37:06): "Heh..."
Wyverncakes (17:37:21): Flit: "!"
tengusaur (17:37:30): However, the tight Genoace formation becomes a target for a group of half a dozen Dorados, which try to pepper it from afar with their chest-mounted beam cannon shots! (react)
cubey@aol.pl (17:37:39): # Walt
tengusaur (17:37:43): (approved)
Wyverncakes (17:37:50): * Without the benefit of X-Rounder powers Flit just has instincts and experience to fall back on and dives to try to get out from under the shots!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:37:57): Brye: "Watch out, really gloomy guy and friends!"
tengusaur (17:38:33): Suruga dodges one of the blasts right on time - you can feel the side of Gold 4 getting hotter just from the beam coming so close to you. He manages to destroy a few of the Fa Zeos' turrets, though.
VJockey (17:38:49): *Leos activates his Beam Shield and charges forth on a tide of pure malice and over-boost thrusters, seeking to engage in melee to absolutely mutilate one of them with his swords!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:38:51): *The t-link rippers are released and briefly swing across the Dorado line, before returning - they spin in place like small shields, trying to deflect the shots, with their commanding Gespenst between them!+
cubey@aol.pl (17:39:09): Brye: "I'll make this shield for you!"
frifreeman (17:40:05): Walt: "Okay team, spread formation!
frifreeman (17:40:51): Walt's team fire their thrusters and scatter around the attacking team.+
tengusaur (17:40:51): Flit manages to avoid the shots going in his direction... But Leos takes on a much more foolhardy and berserk approach.
tengusaur (17:42:28): The Armored Core's shield gets dangerously strained, and the mech receives some damage in the process, but Leos keeps pushing towards the Magicians 8, and hacks apart one of their units with his sword, not stopping until it blows up!
VJockey (17:43:22): "Well now... I suppose you're the Magicians Four now."
tengusaur (17:43:32): Walt's team manages to escape the enemy assault without a scratch - mostly because Brye takes on the brunt of it! Even with the T-Link ripper used as a shield, her Gespenst still takes noticable damage to its armor.
VJockey (17:43:37): "Lets see if we can go all the way to zero."
tengusaur (17:43:37): (Brye, Rani, Ataru go)
Aero (17:43:50): Rani: "He's so reckless..."
Wyverncakes (17:44:55): Flit: "That's Leos nowadays..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:44:57): Brye: "That was a close call... ha ha..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:06): She sweats in the cockpit.
tengusaur (17:45:54): Dole: "Focus on other targets. I'm taking this one on."
tengusaur (17:46:24): The leader of the Zedas units turns towards the Armored Core. Or maybe the Gundam. Hard to tell in the chaos of the battle.
Aero (17:48:12): Rani: "You need to be careful also Brye."
cubey@aol.pl (17:48:26): Brye: "I know... we need to do something with the big guys. They provide too much cover fire!"
Aero (17:49:16): Rani: "...Can you link your Rippers to me?"
Meraxa (17:49:17): Ataru: There'll be more close calls in a battle like this... *Ataru doesn't want Gold Four's side getting so hot again... so naturally, he's gonna remove the problem altogether. A signal is sent out, calling for Gold Four's anti-ship gear, and whilst he's waiting on it to arrive, he decides to pick off some more Zedas units+
cubey@aol.pl (17:49:39): Brye: "Got it. Here - and I'll provide cover fire of my own!"
Aero (17:50:19): Rani: "Thanks."
cubey@aol.pl (17:50:20): *The Rippers turn immobile for a second - then they move again, this time under Rani's control. At the same time, the white Gespenst reaches back...
tengusaur (17:51:08): Suruga fires at one of the Zedas machines, but its pilot uses tempered X-Rounder senses to suddenly dodge the attack - the shot is only a glancing blow! The Zedas is coming in your direction now, changed into its flying armor/dragon mode and peppering you with beams! (react)
cubey@aol.pl (17:51:25): Brye: "I brought this for a reason! Rectangular Launcher, fire!" *The large weapon deploys and fires physical rocket-propelled projectiles, forcing an enemy Defurse to focus its electromagnetic barrier at one point, as this is where Brye fires one by one!+
Wyverncakes (17:52:49): # Suruga?
tengusaur (17:52:58): (approved)
Wyverncakes (17:53:17): Flit: "Ataru! Watch out!"
Aero (17:53:47): * With Brye's Rippers under her control Rani takes a second to prepare herself. The Rippers begin to orbit around her and their speed increases rapidly, forming a swirling barrier of blades. With this done she charges at the Defurses and lets her wall of T-Link Rippers do the rest of the work. +
Wyverncakes (17:56:02): * The Razor blasted towards the Zedas, wobbling still as Flit tried to keep the machine balanced properly. The Gundam raised its arms in a cross-block position not just for defense, but also to let both its blade do the talking once they crashed together!+
tengusaur (17:56:55): The Defurse is focused on defending against Brye's shot... Which lets Rani rush in and attack from the side! Her T-Link System starts to strain dangerously as she rips into the giant Mobile Armor repeatedly, finally cutting through it and blowing it up for good! The attack also slashes into another Defurse, but it can defend against it with Electromagnetic Armor, and while it takes some damage in the process, it now reacts by extending beam sabers from its arms and hacking at the Gespenst!
tengusaur (17:56:58): (Rani react)
tengusaur (17:57:06): (Leos and Walt can go)
VJockey (17:59:21): "Well now... from one leader of a band of murderers to another.... lets have us a friendly duel to the death."
VJockey (17:59:27): "Heh... actually I lied."
VJockey (17:59:32): "I'm not going to be friendly at all."
Aero (18:00:18): * "No you don't." Rani ditches her machineguns and quickly draws a Plasma Saber in response to those beam sabers. She just needed to hold on a bit further for her Rippers to do their work. +
Meraxa (18:01:05): Ataru: Oh no you don't! *After trying to dodge, Ataru turns his rifle around, looking to aim right over the Gundam's shoulder to hit the target in front of it!+
VJockey (18:01:47): *Leos lets loose with the Over-boost system once more as he launches a barrage of missiles towards Dole Frost's Zedas, sending his AC into wildly erratic flight patterns right after them to try close in to attack+
frifreeman (18:02:00): Walt: "Geno, Alice, let's do that!"
frifreeman (18:02:19): Geno/Alice: "That?"
frifreeman (18:02:44): Walt: "Yes, that. Let's show them what normal soldiers can do!"
tengusaur (18:02:45): Rani blocks the enemy's attacks, though she can hear her Gespenst's joints creaking as it holds its ground against a much more physically powerful opponent... But it holds. It holds enough for the blades to slash into the armor of her opponent and start spinning as they chip it down!
tengusaur (18:03:21): But, suddenly, the blades slow down and stop. The T-Link System had too much... And it breaks down.
Aero (18:03:30): Rani: "W-what!?"
cubey@aol.pl (18:03:44): Brye: "..."
tengusaur (18:03:47): The Defurse is heavily damaged, but it kicks the Gespenst away and then floats backwards.
cubey@aol.pl (18:04:03): Brye: "Rani, what happened?!"
frifreeman (18:04:05): the three member of the 8th Genoace team burst forward toward one of the isolated Zedas M, separating themselves from the rest of their team who are keep shooting at random Dorados.
cubey@aol.pl (18:04:11): Brye: "Why did the rippers stop?"
Aero (18:04:21): Rani is breathing heavily...this hadn't happened before.
Aero (18:04:28): Rani: "I...I think the system is broken."
tengusaur (18:05:10): More scratches and burn marks appear on the Gundam's frame as Flit defends Suruga from the attack of the Magician. But this gives the Rabbit long enough time to aim quickly, and fire at the Zedas, penetrating its shield and blowing the machine up!
tengusaur (18:07:35): Leos fires a barrage of missiles towards Dole... But the leader of the Magicians is cut from a different cloth than the rest of them. His Zedas is maneuvering between the missiles, barely getting grazed by the explosions, and with each move it gets closer to the Armored Core, getting ready to slash with a beam saber! (react)
VJockey (18:08:08): "Ha... HahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
tengusaur (18:09:26): One of the Dorados is blown up by the cover fire the rest of the 08th Genoace Team provides for Walt, Geno and Alice. The trio moves in, firing beam shots at one of the remaining Zedas... Which gets hit by some of them, but its electromagnetic armor means that the unit is still standing, albeit damaged. The Magician charges the mobile suit's chest-mounted beam cannon and fires at the three! (Walt react)
VJockey (18:09:32): *The beam shield may have been pushed to the brink on his initial charge but he simply needed it for a moment here as he swung the arm it was on to parry the incoming slash and swing his own blade vertically through its head+
tengusaur (18:09:32): (Flit, Rani and Brye can move)
tengusaur (18:10:08): Enemy List: Dorado x23, Abigel x11, Defurse x5 [1 heavily damaged], Zedas M x3 (Magicians... 3?) [1 damaged], Fa Zeos x4 [1 damaged], Fa Bose
frifreeman (18:10:21): Walt: "Ready guys!" He says as he burst farther than his two subordinates. Geno and Alice follows right behind them, so they make one line toward the Zedas M. Walt starts by opening fire toward the Zedas M! Knowing that it will be dodged, by the psychic pilot of course. But that's only bringing the psychic pilot to Genos' line of fire. And suddenly, from behind Genos... Alice is charging with her heat stake.+
cubey@aol.pl (18:11:23): Brye: "..."
Wyverncakes (18:11:26): Flit: "Good shooting..."
Wyverncakes (18:11:36): "But we need to keep up the pressure!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:11:49): This is bad, her unit is damaged, Rani's TK circuits are fried, the reinforcement guy is going crazy, and the enemies are gaining an upper hand.
Meraxa (18:11:52): Ataru: No kidding. Just need my missiles to show up...
tengusaur (18:13:02): Magician: "What-"
cubey@aol.pl (18:13:15): Brye: "Alright, I just need an answer for one question!"
tengusaur (18:13:26): The enemy might be an X-Rounder... But he didn't foresee this!
Aero (18:13:39): * Rani attempts to shake it off and takes aim at the escaping Defurse with her last weapon. A Boosted Rifle, but with her circuits fried it was really hard to get the machine to follow her directions. It's clear that she relied heavily on the T-Link System to pull off most of her manuevers. She fires a few quick shots but the Gespenst was lagging behind her, making her unsure if they would hit. +
cubey@aol.pl (18:13:57): *The Gespenst grabs its beam rifle with one hand, the launcher with another. It fires its missiles at the remaining Magicians - with the remaining handheld guns joining into the barrage soon after!+
tengusaur (18:14:06): The Geno Stream Attack catches him completely by surprise, and he gets hit by Geno's shots some more, and then smashes by Alice's heat stake!
tengusaur (18:14:29): The melee weapon overcomes the electromagnetic armor's defense, and the Zedas blows up, having accumulated too much damage.
Wyverncakes (18:14:31): * The Razor heads off after the ships. The small fry were one thing, but there was still a respectible flotilla and they had to start going after that sooner or later. The Razor's blades detatched from the Gundam's arms, joining up to form some sort of "Anti-Ship Sword" (or "ASS" as it were)... and Flit pushed the Razor's engines to the limit. Who cared if he was serving all over the place, as he slashed down and dragged his sword across a Fa Zeos's hull there was no lack of parts to cut up!+
cubey@aol.pl (18:14:38): Brye: "Your pets are not in the cockpit with you now, Rani?"
Aero (18:15:02): Rani: "Of course not!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:15:21): Brye: "Just checking! I'd hate for the little guys to get hurt..."
tengusaur (18:16:30): Both Leos and Dole swing their blades... And neither is really aiming to parry his opponent! The energy swords cut into the machines, leaving nasty scars moments later as they disengage! Frost, being an X-Rounder, managed to avoid a killing blow.
VJockey (18:18:31): "Hahahahahahahaha! Magician's duo now..."
tengusaur (18:18:31): The Defurse had enough and is finished off by Rani. A group of Dorados takes advantage of her uneasy movements, however, as they rush in, firing beams from afar while one moves in to slash her with a beam saber! (react)
frifreeman (18:19:04): Geno: "It works!"
frifreeman (18:19:52): Walt: "Of course it works. But remember, not use it to anyone with more than two clashing colours on their mech. That's just asking for trouble."
tengusaur (18:19:59): Flit cuts deeply into the Fa Zeos, dealing heavy damage to it and blowing up turrets and various systems on the way! But, as he continues with the slash, a few of the ship's guns target him and fire! (react, will also post a follow-up as a react to react)
VJockey (18:20:10): "How does it feel to get cut down so quickly... or are you just going to replace them assuming you live through this?"
tengusaur (18:21:12): Brye fires her shots at the Magician, some of them hitting the Mobile Suit and dealing damage to it, despite the electromagnetic armor! The enemy tries to dodge but is not entirely successful, before deciding to push on the offense and rushing forward, extending two beam sabers and slashing in an X-shaped pattern! (react)
tengusaur (18:21:22): Magician: "The enemy... is an X-Rounder too?!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:21:48): Brye: "This pressure... can I..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:21:50): "Ah, Rani!"
Wyverncakes (18:21:51): * Well now, Flit just has the Gundam bank to the side, opening fire on those ship guns with his DODS machinegun while his sword now starts cutting a ring around the ship!+
tengusaur (18:22:11): Dole: "I'm a soldier. I'm ready to put my life on the line. Everyone else here is the same."
tengusaur (18:22:23): Dole: "Can you say the same thing?" He charges in!
tengusaur (18:22:35): Ataru, your huge gun has arrived!
tengusaur (18:22:44): (Ataru, Walt, Leos, go)
cubey@aol.pl (18:22:57): *The Gespenst bursts towards the other, ill-moving Gespenst. Brye's unit is damaged but she pushes the PT to the limit, trying to use it to interpose at the attack, while using the rippers to block the incoming Magicians.+
cubey@aol.pl (18:22:59): Except...
cubey@aol.pl (18:23:05): The Rippers do not work...
VJockey (18:23:05): "...You're no soldier. You're an animal masquerading as one."
Aero (18:23:31): Which is because...
VJockey (18:23:36): "You and the other Vagan. A bunch of rabid animals in need of extermination."
VJockey (18:24:14): "I think its time you and the rest of your kind reap what you sow."
Aero (18:25:01): * "Come on...come on." This was bad she did not have enough ammo to deal with them all and to make matters worse she had all of their Rippers which were now completely inert. As bad as the situation was she unloaded the rest of the ammo she had in her rifle in a sad attempt to fend off the Vagan machines. +
Meraxa (18:25:37): Ataru grins from ear to ear as his missiles arrive, and he attaches them to Gold Four's waist. Now to lock onto the Fa Zeos ships, and...! "Fire!" Unleash his ship killers! One missile a ship, but these were built to fight the Wulgaru - and should work just as well here!+
VJockey (18:25:57): *Leos charges as well, seeking to catch Dole in a bladelock! However the moment they make contact Leos would bring both Laser Cannon and Karasawa Mk-2 to bear on the Zedas and fire point blank!+
frifreeman (18:26:56): Walt: "Okay team, now use the Mosquito Pattern Alpha on that Defurse!" Walt says as he zooms forward, followed by the rest of his team.
tengusaur (18:28:20): Flit changes the pattern of his attack, and while one of the shots grazes his Gundam, he manages to cut a huge chunk of the ship out of the rest! Cut in two, the Fa Zeos slowly falls apart.
tengusaur (18:29:29): Ataru fires the missiles in the direction of the Fa Zeoses... And their power is not to be underestimated! The previously damaged ship is hit by it heavily enough to start falling apart as well, covered in a chain of explosions, while another one is shaken heavily, unable to open fire!
frifreeman (18:29:44): The Team swarm around one of Defurse in close range and zooming around quickly, close enough that makes it hard for the mobile armor to turn and target one of them, but far enough that it's out of the range of its beam saber! And needless to say, they keep shooting while swarming around it!
frifreeman (18:29:46): +
tengusaur (18:29:46): But the Vagans noticed who is a big danger to their battleships...
tengusaur (18:29:55): The Fa Bose suddenly starts charging up its huge beam cannon.
tengusaur (18:30:06): And then it fires. In Gold Four's direction. (react)
Wyverncakes (18:30:41): Flit; "Ataru! Get out of there!"
tengusaur (18:31:29): Brye and Rani share the incoming attacks between themselves... But it's hard to fight the enemy without a functioning T-Link System!
tengusaur (18:32:04): Their Gespensts take a dangerous amount of damage before Rani fends off the attackers with her machinegun, blowing up one Dorado and causing the Magician to jump away.
Meraxa (18:32:36): Ataru: Moving! *And indeed, he tries to be gone, though as he travels, a number of smaller missiles are fired outwards, proverbial salt in the wounds of the ships he fired upon!+
tengusaur (18:33:30): Leos' and Dole's are locked with each other... But it seems that the latter had the same idea as the former, as his chest-mounted cannon starts to suddenly charge up at point blank as well! (react)
tengusaur (18:33:43): Dole: "You... Earthlings like you are the reason we're at war...!"
VJockey (18:34:20): "... You mean people who have had everything torn away from them by others who believe they know better?"
VJockey (18:34:35): "In that case... yes. That would be very true."
cubey@aol.pl (18:34:49): Brye: "This guy... he's just like Flit..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:35:10): She looks around the cockpit panically, trying to turn off some systems, but the situation looks really bad now.
tengusaur (18:36:22): Walt and his team swarm the Defurse, zooming around it too quickly for it to take aim and peppering it with shots all the time. The damage it takes slowly accumulates... But before they can finish it, another one of them fires from afar, using its tail-mounted cannon! (react)
Aero (18:36:25): Rani is fairing no better. With her T-Link System fried and her machine in critical condition they were essentially sitting ducks right now.
cubey@aol.pl (18:37:32): Brye: "No... we don't fight because everything was taken from us, and for hate. We fight to protect people!"
tengusaur (18:37:41): Ataru's missiles explode on the surface of the Vagan battleships, damaging them a bit more... But the AHSMB doesn't manage to fully avoid the blast! Its shield absorbs most of it, but there's still warning signs in his cockpit flashing, as his armor gets damaged!
cubey@aol.pl (18:37:42): Brye: "To change the world for the better..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:38:10): Brye: "!"
VJockey (18:38:10): *The fun thing about being able to control his AC right down to the last system with his thoughts? It makes insane manuevers very much doable as he headbutts the Defurse and opens fire on that conveniently open cannon the moment its knocked away.+
Meraxa (18:38:14): Ataru: Too close, too close!
cubey@aol.pl (18:38:24): The Genoace team is under attack again, and also...
cubey@aol.pl (18:38:29): Brye: "That presence..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:38:31): # Walt
tengusaur (18:38:35): (approved)
frifreeman (18:38:55): Walt: "Well, good enough. Let's skedaddle." The 8th Genoace Team scatter like swarm of mosquitos when someone swat a hand through it, and then Walt lead his team leaving that Defurse without second thought.
cubey@aol.pl (18:39:20): Back at the shuttle hangars, a unit's visor shines green, its head lifting up ominously.
cubey@aol.pl (18:39:38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMSEMzZ-nE
cubey@aol.pl (18:41:12): *Powerful beam shots fly towards the attacking Defurse, not to disrupt its attack but as a punishing countermeasure. The defense itself comes in the form of a unit that zooms through the battlefield - standing in fronf of allies, a bright green telekinetic barrier forming around it to absorb the blast.+
cubey@aol.pl (18:41:29): Brye: "What is this reaction?!"
Aero (18:41:44): Rani: "That machine looks familiar..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:41:46): http://i.imgur.com/I3Gcu3x.jpg
tengusaur (18:43:00): The Genoace Team scatters safely like cats... Partially because the attacker gets shot by a few beam blasts, and damaged as well! The telekinetic field protects the new unit against the incoming blasts.
tengusaur (18:43:05): But who is piloting it...?
tengusaur (18:43:49): Just as Frost is about to open fire... He's suddenly taken by surprise by that headbutt!
tengusaur (18:44:03): And then his unit is peppered by close-range shots, causing the cannon to overload!
cubey@aol.pl (18:44:14): The Huckebein doesn't stop, as soon as the attack is done with its movement brings it to the wrecked Gespensts... which is only when it stops.
tengusaur (18:44:26): Leos should probably escape quickly, because the Zedas blows up!
tengusaur (18:44:42): Dole: "I... tried..."
VJockey (18:45:18): [Yes he definitely should.]
cubey@aol.pl (18:45:29): Brye: "I don't know - but for now let's get out of here!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:45:40): Brye: "No need to look a gift horse in the teeth!"
tengusaur (18:46:32): The Gespensts are critically damaged and barely, if at all, able to move now... But the Huckebein is a different matter entirely.
tengusaur (18:46:39): However, if you want to enter it, you better hurry.
tengusaur (18:46:58): Because reinforcements are incoming, from the direction of La Gramis.
cubey@aol.pl (18:47:33): Brye: "I'm sorry Gespenst... Rani, can you get out? You have a spacesuit on, right?"
Aero (18:47:41): Rani: "Yeah..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:47:51): The cockpit opens, the pilot kicking off her PT towards the Huckebein.
tengusaur (18:48:45): In the direction of the battlefield, a group of Dorados approaches... But in addition to their normal weaponry, they're also armed with big, hand-held missiles.
Aero (18:48:53): She felt terrible about abandoning the machines that had served them for so long but given the situation she had no choice. She presses her forehead against the seat of the PT for a second before exiting and kicking off towards the Huckebein as well.
tengusaur (18:49:24): Some of you might recognize that weapon. It's the colony destroyers the Vagans used in the past.
Wyverncakes (18:49:34): Flit: "... Those things...!"
tengusaur (18:49:55): They used them to destroy Angel. And Orvan. And Nora.
tengusaur (18:50:15): And what follows looks even more ominous.
tengusaur (18:50:23): A big, black unit, barely visible from afar.
tengusaur (18:50:30): Vagan Gear
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/1/1b/Vagan-gear.png
cubey@aol.pl (18:50:36): Brye: "Huh... the cockpit is empty?"
tengusaur (18:50:45): Those of you who have psychic power can suddenly feel a powerful presence emanating from this machine.
Aero (18:50:52): Rani: "Then-"
cubey@aol.pl (18:50:54): She looks around. The unit is activated, and the TK circuit was functioning... but there is no one in it. Just an empty seat.
cubey@aol.pl (18:51:05): She turns on the main screen, just in time to see the Vagan Gear.
cubey@aol.pl (18:51:12): Brye: "... I don't like the look of that."
Aero (18:51:14): She is quickly cut off by a terrible feeling.
VJockey (18:51:26): "Whatever it is..."
VJockey (18:51:30): "It needs to die."
Wyverncakes (18:51:31): Flit: "That machine..."
Aero (18:51:33): Rani: "Brye you take control...I think we'll perform better if I just focus."
tengusaur (18:52:05): ???: "So you have decided to attack our home. Brave, perhaps, but foolish."
tengusaur (18:52:12): The image of the man appears on your screens.
tengusaur (18:52:18): http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/f/f2/1341734615165.jpg
frifreeman (18:52:30): Walt: "Okay guys, check all of your ammunitions and weapon. Don't want it to get jammed when you need to shoot the big glowing opening shooting hole and then you have to crash yourself to it."
Meraxa (18:52:37): Ataru: ...How old are you?
tengusaur (18:52:47): Fezarl Ezelcant: "My plans are near completion. I cannot let you stop them, Unity Group!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:53:22): Brye: "Is that the Vagan leader?"
VJockey (18:53:51): "...Considering your plans involved the mass murder of innocent people..."
VJockey (18:54:00): "I'll get in your way even if it means I die."
Wyverncakes (18:54:08): Flit: "It's you!"
tengusaur (18:54:42): Ezelcant: "Mass murder? You don't understand at all. Every man, woman and child living on Second Moon has been waiting for this day."
Wyverncakes (18:54:43): "You acted like you were interested in peace, but then you just used it to your advantage to attack Earth again!"
tengusaur (18:55:34): Ezelcant: "Yes, I did. Why would I want to sign a peace treaty with the treacherous ESUN? Only to be backstabbed again? Do you think I have forgotten the past?"
VJockey (18:56:00): "I don't know, do you think we don't remember how many civilians the Vagan have murdered? Under your orders?"
Meraxa (18:56:19): Ataru: And people will remember this in the future. Acts like this won't allow for peaceful coexistence.
tengusaur (18:56:47): Ezelcant: "Quite the opposite, as you'll see - when my plan is complete!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:56:51): Brye: "So the logical thing to do would be to backstab ESUN first? That kinda forces our hand, doesn't it?"
Aero (18:57:09): Rani: "So instead of peace you chose to do something that brought further hate upon your people? What's wrong with you!?"
Wyverncakes (18:57:43): Flit: "Your plan's going to die here, mark my words!"
tengusaur (18:57:44): While it looks like the Vagan leader is not closed to conversation... He and his wingmen are moving in to fight!
Wyverncakes (18:57:52): "Your plan and you yourself!"
tengusaur (18:57:54): It looks like his presence has rallied the Vagan forces once again!
tengusaur (18:58:03): Enemy List: Dorado x23, Dorado with Colony Destroyer x8, Abigel x11, Defurse x4 [2 damaged], Zedas M )[damaged], Fa Zeos x2 [1 damaged], Fa Bose, Vagan Gear [Ezelcant]
VJockey (18:58:06): "I lost everything to someone who thought their plan was the right thing to humanity."
tengusaur (18:58:08): (Flit, Brye, Rani)
VJockey (18:58:38): "My home. My family. My friends... the person I love. And here you are a person who wants to inflict that pain a thousandfold."
cubey@aol.pl (18:58:50): Brye: "These colony destroyers have to go. Looks like we have no choice..."
VJockey (18:59:01): "Flit. Lets murder this old man shall we?"
cubey@aol.pl (18:59:06): Brye: "I'll be taking the controls as you said Rani. Here I.... goooaaah?!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:59:14): The Huckebein is fast - fast and very responsive!
Aero (18:59:45): Rani: "What a difference..."
Aero (19:00:03): Luckily Rani could use the emergency harness for this situation that they found themselves in.
Wyverncakes (19:00:16): Flit: "You're to blame for everything, aren't you!? All the attacks in the past, all the deaths, working wht the Wulgaru...!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:00:34): *But that only works to Brye's favor. She slams down the acceleration, the unit swerving and juking as it approaches, flies above the Dorados - and as it passes over them, unleashes a barrage of magnum beams, bursting through the colony destroyers, aiming to destroy as many mass scale weapons as possible!+
tengusaur (19:00:55): Ezelcant: "Yes. All of this was a part of my plan. A plan to create a better, peaceful world."
Wyverncakes (19:01:14): * The AGE-1 rockets towards the new group of enemies, but it doesn't go straight for the Vagan Gear itself. No, it focuses instead on one of the new Dorados, delivering a sweeping kick into the machine to knock it INTO the Vagan Gear before following up with a flurry of DODS shots!+
Wyverncakes (19:01:27): "The world's been a worse place the day you decided to make people here suffer!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:01:27): Brye: "Is this opposite day?!"
Wyverncakes (19:02:27): "My mother! Bruzar! Yurin! The people of Angel, Orvan, and Nora!"
Wyverncakes (19:02:37): "AND FOR WHAT?!?"
tengusaur (19:02:42): Brye fires blasts at several of the Dorados, blowing the missiles they're carrying with them - and most of them are caught n the explosions! Overall, four of them are down.
VJockey (19:02:46): @Flit
Wyverncakes (19:02:46): "WAS THE PEACE WE ALREADY HAD NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"
tengusaur (19:02:51): (approved)
tengusaur (19:03:07): But watch out, a few normal Dorados are moving in, firing from afar - led by the last remaining Magician! (react)
tengusaur (19:03:16): (also Walt and Ataru can move too)
VJockey (19:04:10): *Leos accompanies Flit's own manuever, seeking to do something similar on the Colony Destroyer Dorado with an OB assisted shoulder check to send it into the Vagan Gear before barraging it with Plasma!+
cubey@aol.pl (19:04:33): Brye: "Here they come... but we're not alone, and we won't get outmaneuvered like that!"
tengusaur (19:05:14): Two of the Dorados are knocked into the Vagan Gear, losing grip on their missiles (which float away), and then blown up as they're smashed into the Vagan Gear and peppered with beam shots from afar!
cubey@aol.pl (19:05:18): *The Huckebein does not slow down, it circles around the Dorados spirally, trying to get closer and evade their shots at the same time. Brye aims for the Magician One - the magnum's bayonet slashing at the Zedas as it passes by!+
tengusaur (19:05:28): But Ezelcant's machien itself... Suddenly is not there!
VJockey (19:05:32): "A peaceful world... what a joke... do you intend to send everyone into their graves for your 'peaceful world'?"
VJockey (19:05:35): "?!"
VJockey (19:05:41): "What-?"
frifreeman (19:05:55): Walt: "Well, to be fair, when every single person is dead the world would be pretty peaceful."
tengusaur (19:06:03): It's floating above you, seemingly not damaged at all, and charging a beam cannon at the end of its tail, ready to fire!
tengusaur (19:06:17): (Flit react, Leos can incorporate a react into his action)
tengusaur (19:06:21): (because Leos can move too)
tengusaur (19:06:29): Ezelcant: "How little you understand..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:06:59): Brye: "Well then, how about shedding some light?"
frifreeman (19:07:07): Walt: "Protect Flit so he can focus on that weird machine!" Walt says as he prepare overwatch to shoot any enemy that's going toward Flit.+
cubey@aol.pl (19:07:12): Brye: "We can't comment on your plan if we don't even know what it is about!"
VJockey (19:08:20): "Tch... Limiters Released."
VJockey (19:10:00): *Leos lets out a harsh noise of pain before sending the Ethermaster into a full headlong rush towards the Vagan Gear at speeds dangerous to the human body. What was his plan? Disengage his missile launcher and shove it, ammo and all into the cannon!+
Meraxa (19:11:38): Ataru isn't intent on letting the remaining CD Dorados through, and attempts to see if he can detonate those Colony Destroyers whilst still attached to their wielders with a few choice shots!+
tengusaur (19:12:13): Walt and his unit open fire at the Vagan units, blowing a few of them up as they try to approach the battlefield and help their leader... The rest of them switch their priority, and suddenly the 08th Genoace Team finds itself the target of several Abigels, which fire their powerful beam bazookas at them! (react)
tengusaur (19:13:02): Suruga destroys the last two Dorados with Colony Destroyers, one of them blowing up together with its weapon, and the other one losing grip on it after it gets shot.
tengusaur (19:13:25): But, suddenly, a Defurse goes in his way, firing rapid beam shots from its hands as it approaches! (react)
Meraxa (19:14:46): Ataru: Hm, I wonder if- Hey, don't interrupt! *Ataru sprays out the remnants of his missiles, some to be detonated for defense, others to chase and try to damage the Defurse!+
tengusaur (19:14:50): Leos fires at the Vagan Gear's tail, causing some damage to it and lessening the strain the cannon puts on Flit... But suddenly, as soon as he's close by, the big machine quickly swings its arm-mounted heat blade, trying to hack at Leos rapidly! )(react)
tengusaur (19:15:56): Brye manages to avoid, or soak with the TK field, pretty much most of the shots going in her way. The Magician is about to strike - but then suddenly the Zedas is stabbed with the bayonet and run through!
frifreeman (19:16:00): Walt: "Retreat!" Walt gives signal to do the better part of valor. The genoace team disengage from the battle with their shield forward, ready to sacrifice it for the greater good.+
tengusaur (19:17:40): Most of Suruga's fired missiles are blown up preemptively by the blasts from the Defurse, but they provide enough cover for him to get away safely.
tengusaur (19:18:51): Walt and his squad quickly disengage, taking whatever shots are still going in their way on their shields. Those shields take heavy beating, though, as Abigels are quite strong offensively.
Guy Zumpetta (19:21:13): * Seeing that attack come, Flit has the Razor swerve out of the way as fast as he can manage!+
tengusaur (19:21:51): Thanks to Leos' interference, Flit manages to avoid the attack.
tengusaur (19:22:16): Ezelcant: "Very well then, let me tell you. Listen carefully."
tengusaur (19:22:48): Ezelcant: "I'm sure you're very well aware of the history of humanity. Full of wars, aggression, and suffering."
tengusaur (19:23:29): Ezelcant: "The source of this is a certain region in the brain that, when active, makes a man what you know as an X-Rounder."
tengusaur (19:24:25): Ezelcant: "I have spent a lot of time researching X-Rounders, and discovered what conditions cause people to become them."
tengusaur (19:25:29): Ezelcant: "The attacks on Angel, Orvan and Nora. Our current invasion. Several staged incitends on Second Moon. All of this was done with the purpose of replicating those conditions."
tengusaur (19:25:40): Ezelcant: "I want all possible X-Rounders to awaken..."
Guy Zumpetta (19:25:50): Flit: "... you..."
tengusaur (19:25:50): Ezelcant: "And then destroy themselves."
Guy Zumpetta (19:26:05): "You... psychopath!"
tengusaur (19:26:06): Ezelcant: "My goal is the annihilation of all X-Rounders."
cubey@aol.pl (19:26:21): Brye: "That's..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:26:28): Brye: "That's crazy. Are you mad?"
VJockey (19:26:48): "......"
cubey@aol.pl (19:26:50): Brye: "Do you think only X-Rounders are responsible for all the bad things that happen in the world?"
VJockey (19:26:52): "Ha.."
VJockey (19:26:56): "Hahahahahahahahaha..."
frifreeman (19:26:56): Walt: "Well, that makes sense."
VJockey (19:26:59): "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Meraxa (19:27:07): Ataru: ...You think human conflict is because... a few special people have differently wired brains?
cubey@aol.pl (19:27:08): Brye: "That if we get rid of them all it will be only peace and quiet from that point on?"
VJockey (19:27:15): "Its so funny..."
Guy Zumpetta (19:27:17): Flit: "People could've had peaceful lives if not for you!"
frifreeman (19:27:18): Walt: Rats came out in ships when the ships are sinking right?"
VJockey (19:27:21): "So...goddamn funny..."
Guy Zumpetta (19:27:30): "Innocent people would still be alive if not for all of this...!"
frifreeman (19:27:36): Walt: "So the obvious way to get rid of rats is to sink the ship and then burn all the rats personally."
tengusaur (19:27:42): Ezelcant: "Yes. Those violent, aggressive humans are the root of all wars and conflict in human history. Once they are gone, the remains of humanity will become a new, peaceful and intelligent race."
frifreeman (19:27:46): Walt: "Make total sense, if you ask me."
VJockey (19:28:03): "And what about the innocent people who die?"
VJockey (19:28:10): "Did you not factor them in?"
tengusaur (19:28:12): Ezelcant: "No X-Rounder is innocent!"
Meraxa (19:28:28): Ataru: ...And besides everybody has the capacity for violence. By this reasoning, all of humanity has the potential to be an X-Rounder.
VJockey (19:28:31): "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING X ROUNDERS OLD MAN!"
VJockey (19:28:48): "FATHERS! MOTHERS! CHILDREN!"
VJockey (19:28:53): "BROTHERS AND SISTERS!"
tengusaur (19:29:07): Ezelcant: "I see I was mistaken. You can't see at all..."
Guy Zumpetta (19:29:08): Flit: "AND WHO SAYS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL THEM ALL?!?"
tengusaur (19:29:26): But at the same time.
VJockey (19:29:28): "What I see... is a man who needs to die."
tengusaur (19:29:36): You can see some hesitation among the ranks around you.
tengusaur (19:29:39): The Vagan ranks.
cubey@aol.pl (19:29:47): Brye: "You're wrong and deluded. You will just clam inside a shell of your own delusions."
tengusaur (19:29:47): Some of them are still as aggresive as before.
tengusaur (19:29:49): But the rest.
tengusaur (19:29:55): Vagan pilot 1: "What was that...?"
tengusaur (19:30:05): Vagan pilot 2: "That's what we were fighting for? All along?"
Meraxa (19:30:25): Ataru: ...Yeah, seems so! Is that what you were sold on? Genocide?
cubey@aol.pl (19:30:56): Brye: "You should give up."
tengusaur (19:30:57): Vagan pilot 1: "I didn't know about this. I-"
tengusaur (19:31:02): Ezelcant: "Silence!"
tengusaur (19:31:11): Vagan Gear suddenly raises its arm!
tengusaur (19:31:22): The Vagan machines shudder!
Aero (19:31:47): Rani: "That bastard...is he..."
tengusaur (19:31:49): Brye and Rani feel psychic energy emanating from Vagan Gear towards the rest of the Vagan forces. The same energy Desil used before to control other Vagan units!
Guy Zumpetta (19:32:43): Flit: "What- what's he doing?"
tengusaur (19:32:46): Ezelcant: "The plan is nearly complete. We cannot allow it to fail because of hesitation of some wavering spirits. I shall see it to completion! I shall bring Eden!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:32:48): Brye: "Ezelcant... you're an X-Rounder yourself!"
Guy Zumpetta (19:32:57): On account of no X-Rounder powers available right now and all
cubey@aol.pl (19:33:04): Brye: "And he'll force the other pilots to work for him whether they want to or not..."
Aero (19:33:14): Rani: "He's doing the same thing as the last battle..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:33:30): Brye: "Ezelcant - the one X-Rounder the world could go without is you!"
Aero (19:33:41): Rani is completely focused on one thing now, killing Ezelcant.
Meraxa (19:33:55): Ataru: Tossing aside the lives that actually would consider peace...
tengusaur (19:33:58): Ezelcant: "I will not let you stop me. I won't let the toil of years, decades, go to waste."
tengusaur (19:34:41): (everyone can go - just not all at once please)
VJockey (19:34:47): "... It doesn't matter how many people you put in my way old man."
Meraxa (19:35:22): Ataru: And we won't let you drag this conflict out for your own, sick goal!
Guy Zumpetta (19:35:42): Flit: "-We came to stop your base and really... the one we have to stop is just you!"
VJockey (19:35:57): *Leos tears forward, fully intent on engaging the Vagan Gear in melee, and if any Vagan machines get in his way he's going to hack them down regardless of their pilots+
Guy Zumpetta (19:36:17): * The Razor blasted at the Vagan Gear full speed, Razor Sword formed and slashing down at the big machine... and more importantly the person inside of it!+
cubey@aol.pl (19:36:24): Brye: "Wait! We'll disable the control over other units... somehow!"
Guy Zumpetta (19:37:03): Flit: "You did it before!"
Aero (19:37:37): Rani: "We were using seperate machines before, I'm not sure what will happen if we're using the same T-Link System."
cubey@aol.pl (19:37:48): Brye: "Only one way to find out!"
Meraxa (19:37:54): Ataru: Do it quick then!
tengusaur (19:38:08): Ezalcant: "My dreams of Eden will not be foiled this easily."
Meraxa (19:39:52): Ataru: And you, shut up! Eden is the paradise humanity left behind, not the one its supposed to return to!
tengusaur (19:39:53): Leos and Flit hack into the Vagan Gear... But most of their initial strikes are absorbed by the giant machine's electromagnetic armor. As for the follow-ups, it suddenly dashes away quickly - and then raises an arm, firing several energy blasts in their direction. To make it worse, the controlled Vagan units offer support fire, shooting beam cannons from the flanks! (Flit and Leos react)
VJockey (19:40:14): "Mankind was banished from Eden you senile old goat!"
tengusaur (19:41:23): Ezalcant: "Just like Vagans were banished from Earth. Does that mean we're not allowed to return? I think not."
VJockey (19:41:33): *Leos simply snarls, face set in an expression of sheer rage as he chooses to focus on evading the incoming shots!+
cubey@aol.pl (19:41:36): *The Huckebein accelerates towards the Vagan Gear, its binders switching their configuration. "Okay Rani... here we go!" The Omega Cannon fires at close range, but the powerful beam is only a distraction. The true attack comes from Bryanne's mind, a probe that empathically senses Ezelcant - then like before, a reversal!+
VJockey (19:41:50): "If this is your solution then yes."
Guy Zumpetta (19:42:10): * Even with all of the Vagan suits trying to shoot him down, Flit couldn't, wouldn't let Ezelcant get away now that it was all clear! "You didn't have to kill even one person to be able to do that!" The Gundam banks to the side, firing at the Vagan Gear's head with the DODS Machinegun!+
tengusaur (19:43:16): Beams fired by Flit and Leos scorch the Vagan Gear, though its strong armor still absorbs most of the attacks. But, more importantly, for a moment Ezelcant's control over the Vagan units falters, causing their shots to go widely off!
Aero (19:43:20): * And without having to worry about piloting while also being really really pissed off right now, Rani is able to channel a large amount of Psychic energy while also synchronizing with Brye to further amplify her abilities as well. +
tengusaur (19:43:33): (not by Leos, by Brye)
tengusaur (19:44:07): Just for a moment though - Brye and Rani have to constantly focus on disrupting this and renewing their efforts. Ezelcant is a much more powerful X-Rounder than Desil was.
Meraxa (19:44:17): Ataru: The idea is to aim for heaven instead! *Ataru continues the theology debate, even whilst he tries to aim for the Vagan Gear's head - and fires repeatedly!+
tengusaur (19:44:24): Flit is grazed by one of the beams, but the Gundam is mostly fine. It was a hard dodge though.
tengusaur (19:44:55): Leos takes a few glancing shots, which start to look bad as the total damage suffered over the whole fight accumulates...
tengusaur (19:46:02): The first of Ataru's shots hits the Vagan Gear's head - the second one misses as the unit is suddenly not there! It's behind you, swiping its blades widely as it passes by, trying to hack through Gold Four and the Huckebein! (Ataru, Rani/Brye, react)
tengusaur (19:46:18): (Walt still has to move)
VJockey (19:46:19): #Ataru
tengusaur (19:46:24): (approved)
VJockey (19:46:59): *Leos lets out a scream of primal rage as he tears towards the incoming blades and seeks to parry them with both of his own to give Ataru time to evade!+
cubey@aol.pl (19:47:39): Brye: "It didn't work?!"
VJockey (19:47:58): "What the hell do you plan on doing when you were finished you insane bastard?! Simply laying down to sleep thinking your work was done?!"
Aero (19:48:05): Rani: "Don't lose focus, he probably has to actively assert control over them."
cubey@aol.pl (19:48:43): *Time for evasive action! The enemy slices during a passby attack, Brye quickly tries to get the Huckebein in the opposite direction!+
Meraxa (19:48:48): Ataru: ...There?! *Ataru tries to turn and fall back from the suddenly appearing machine, continuing to fire - though this time, practically point blank* At least you're not among your minions!+
Aero (19:50:32): * The Huckebein's T-Link System flashes again and suddenly, six green glowing rippers suddenly fly in from out of nowhere and bombard the Vagan Gear in order to stop the blade and tear apart the Vagan Gear. +
Aero (19:50:38): Rani: "There they are..."
tengusaur (19:50:58): Leos is about to parry the incoming heat blades... Which clash with his laser sword for a moment, before suddenly overpowering the AC and throwing it far back! This gives Ezelcant's targets a chance to avoid the strike, though, and lets Ataru fire a few more shots in the Vagan leader's direction.
tengusaur (19:51:06): Furthermore, the blades suddenly fly at the Vagan Gear!
tengusaur (19:51:55): The first few shots, and two blades, hit the machine, causing some damage to it despite its electromagnetic armor. It avoids the rest of them, quickly floating to the other side of the battlefield - and readying its tail-mounted cannon to fire again!
Guy Zumpetta (19:52:39): Flit: "Running away?!?"
tengusaur (19:53:32): Ezelcant: "My work is far from over. But once I bring Eden, everything will be much easier. Humanity will cooperate instead of wasting everything in ceaseless conflicts."
cubey@aol.pl (19:54:01): Brye: "You're delusional."
frifreeman (19:54:08): Walt: "Okay team, seems like he has to concentrate to control his troop or something. Try the Mosquito Pattern Alpha on that giant thing!" Walt tries to replicate his success against the Defurse. His team start to swarm the Vagan Gear at close range, plinking it with countless shots from various angles, more trying to give him as much distraction as possible than anything, but hey, death of thousand cuts is a thing.+
tengusaur (19:55:01): Walt's team starts swarming the Vagan Gear, attacking it with lots of tiny shots from various angles - but after a few seconds it fires its tail-mounted cannon, trying to lead the huge beam over the attacking Genoaces! (react)
tengusaur (19:55:06): (everyone can move)
Guy Zumpetta (19:55:15): # Walt (combined with action?)
tengusaur (19:55:20): (Walt can combine react with his action if he so desires)
tengusaur (19:55:23): (go for it)
Guy Zumpetta (19:55:29): Flit: "Walt!"
VJockey (19:56:34): "Cooperation... Hah..."
VJockey (19:56:43): "No one person can make people cooperate..."
Guy Zumpetta (19:57:06): * The AGE-1 Razor does the only thing it can to try to bail he Genoace pilots ou! It chages full-speed, sword swinging down. "Now... hit! Hiiiit!" He slashes down right at a tail segment!+
VJockey (19:57:10): [Leos smiles grimly.]
frifreeman (19:57:52): Walt: "Gaah!" Walt who is conincidentally in a closer angle than the rest of his team fires his thrusters toward the tail from the same side with Flit, trying to smash into it and ruining the aim toward his subordinates.+
Aero (19:58:01): Rani: "Brye just try to keep your focus on disrupting his control, I'll control the rest of this stuff."
cubey@aol.pl (19:58:15): Brye: "Are you sure?"
cubey@aol.pl (19:58:19): "... Okay. I trust you."
frifreeman (19:58:24): While the rest of the team try their best to get away from the tail beam sweep.
VJockey (19:58:26): *The Ethermaster soon unleashes a laser of its own, seeking to push the cannon to its limits as he attempted to make it burn through a chunk of the Vagan Gear's body+
Aero (19:59:08): Rani: "...Thanks."
tengusaur (19:59:26): Walt smashes the tail's aim away, making sure it doesn't hit any of his subordinates.
tengusaur (20:00:01): It grazes both his Genoace and the Gundam instead... And then, Flit hacks deep into the tail, severing it and causing the beam to stop before it can hit anything else!
cubey@aol.pl (20:00:02): Brye: "You CAN make people listen. I choose to believe that."
tengusaur (20:00:17): Then the beam cannon explodes, throwing both Mobile Suits away!
Guy Zumpetta (20:00:24): Flit: "G-got it!"
tengusaur (20:00:36): Walt's Genoace is damaged. The Razor frame is damaged harder.
cubey@aol.pl (20:00:39): Brye: "You can change the world for the better! But... the way you do it, without listening to others, automatically assuming if they don't agree with you - they must be wrong!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:00:54): Brye: "You'll never change it this way!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:01:25): *The telekinetic system flares up with Brye's TK power once again, with a few stray magnum shots added to the mix to make sure Ezelcant is listening!+
Aero (20:02:11): * The Photon Magnum's Bayonet Ripper detaches and joins in with the rest of Rani's Ripper Swarm as they fly in at Vagan Gear again as insurance. +
tengusaur (20:02:48): Having lost the Vagan Gear's tail and seeing a laser start burning a hole in its chest, Ezelcant reacts with annoyance.
tengusaur (20:03:07): The swarm of flying, cutting blades, further damaging the machine's frame, doesn't help him at all.
tengusaur (20:04:22): Ezelcant: "Enough." A chest-mounted beam cannon suddenly opens on the Vagan Gear's torso, charging up before firing several beams at the attackers - those beams seem to change their trajectory as they fly in your direction! (Leos, Brye and Rani, react)
tengusaur (20:04:34): (Walt and Ataru can still move)
Guy Zumpetta (20:04:41): # All three of them?
tengusaur (20:04:47): (approved)
Guy Zumpetta (20:04:54): "No!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:05:06): The Razor charged at the Vagan gear again!
Guy Zumpetta (20:05:17): "You're not geting your way! You're not getting your way ANY MORE!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:06:02): Brye: "Uh oh..." Homing lasers...
Guy Zumpetta (20:06:29): * The Razor threw itself at the Vagan Gear, grappling with the machine to offset its aim! "WIth you, it's not about making the world a better place! It never was! You just want to kill people and act like you're saving them!"
Aero (20:06:30): Rani: "This is bad..."
Guy Zumpetta (20:06:31): +
tengusaur (20:06:37): Ezelcant: "Do you think I disregard the words of other people? I want to make the desire of all peace-loving people come true - not just Vagans, not just ESUN, but everyone!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:06:54): "YOU JUST MADE A BAD SITUATION WORSE!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:07:00): "YOU MADE MORE PEOPLE DIE!"
tengusaur (20:07:01): Ezelcant: "If it requires killing all X-Rounders to make happen, that's all the better!"
frifreeman (20:07:20): Walt: "Well crap" Walt can't move well with his damaged genoace so he can only raise his shield. "IF I die here, let everyone know, that my last words are: Homing lasers are really cheap!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:07:25): "Then you should've started with killing yourself!"
frifreeman (20:08:17): The rest of his team are still shooting the Vagan Gear from various angles of course.+
VJockey (20:08:21): *Seeing Flit tackle the Vagan Gear... Leos was going to charge in to assist, trying to evade as many lasers as he could and grapple with the jagged machine as well!+
cubey@aol.pl (20:08:31): *Huckebein Omega tries to loop around the Vagan Gear, putting the lasers' homing ability to a test. Its surroundings briefly glow green, activating the TK field...+
tengusaur (20:08:57): Thanks to Flit's interference, most of the beams are intercepted!
tengusaur (20:09:46): Vagan Gear is hit by two tackling mecha, before sending them flying backwards with a few ferocious swings.
tengusaur (20:09:49): However, the Gundam's Razor frame takes this heavily. It's pummeled and burnt, pretty much no longer in fighting condition..
tengusaur (20:10:44): But Vagan Gear itself takes more and more accumulated damage. Walt's team's shots help here, as well. And it seems that Ezelcant's control over his minions is disrupted enough for them not to bother you at this moment.
Guy Zumpetta (20:11:01): Flit: "He can't... get away with this..."
Guy Zumpetta (20:11:22): The Gundam moves awkwardly, joints creaking and sparking as it tries to right itself.
VJockey (20:11:25): "He... has to pay..."
tengusaur (20:11:38): Ezelcant: "What can you do now? Your Gundam's most powerful frame, the only one taht could possibly match Vagan Gear, is unusable anymore."
Guy Zumpetta (20:11:40): One old man's delusions, responsible for so many deaths?
Guy Zumpetta (20:11:50): How many people had died because of him and his lies?
tengusaur (20:12:00): Ezelcant: "Most of your allies are in similar condition."
Guy Zumpetta (20:12:01): Even the Vagans weren't buying into everything he said!
tengusaur (20:12:15): Ezelcant: "I will finish this. You will not stand in the way to Eden anymore."
Guy Zumpetta (20:12:37): Flit: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:12:52): Brye: "Flit!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:13:00): Brye: "Ah, damn. Don't give up now!"
Aero (20:13:40): Rani: "Don't let him win."
Guy Zumpetta (20:13:49): "I'm going to kill you, Ezelcant...! I'm going to kill you and your Eden!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:14:19): He could feel the pressure rising again, his helmet strainin against the power.
frifreeman (20:14:26): Walt: "I don't believe you can do anything, Flit. But since when believe has anything to do with anything? Just kill that crazy old coot if you can."
frifreeman (20:15:09): Walt: "Don't let him die peacefully in a bed"
Guy Zumpetta (20:15:24): Sharp and clear, a crack resounded inside of the Gundam's cockpit as the battle was taking its toll on his X-Rounder countermeasure.
tengusaur (20:16:12): Ezelcant: "Foolish and blind to the end!"
tengusaur (20:16:20): The Vagan Gear charges in your direction!
tengusaur (20:16:28): (everyone move - and make it count)
cubey@aol.pl (20:17:07): Brye: "Control yourself!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:17:27): Brye: "Ah, what can we do?" The Huckebein is not damaged, but it's running out of options...
Guy Zumpetta (20:17:40): Sparrow, Titus, Starks, and now Razor...
Guy Zumpetta (20:18:50): * That still left one option though, that Flit had quietly called on. The transport for the Gundam's Normal parts, hurtling across the battlefield full-speed... not even slowing down when ejecting its cargo nearby the AGE-1 before continuing to speed off right into charging Vagan Gear!&
VJockey (20:19:10): *Leos was going to disengage all of his weapons except for his blade, pushing as much energy as he can into the arm wielding it as he rushed the Vagan Gear with full intention of damaging it as much as he could... he didn't care if he was the one to land the final blow... as long as this piece of human waste was erased fro the Earth he didn't care!+
Guy Zumpetta (20:19:38): Flit: "Blind... foolish..."
Guy Zumpetta (20:19:50): "IF THAT'S WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE ARE LIKE, THEN WHAT DOES THAT MAKE AN X-ROUNDER LIKE YOU?"
VJockey (20:20:05): "...Flit"
VJockey (20:20:07): "... I'll cut open a path for you... finish the rest..."
Meraxa (20:20:31): Ataru: Come on...! *Ataru figures that if anything, he needs to make an opening. Having studied the point laser's mechanics, he tries to focus all of Gold Four's remaining energy into a single shot from his particle gun... and aims for the VG's center of mass!+
tengusaur (20:21:06): Vagan Gear swings its heat blade in order to cut at Flit - but then it clashes against Leos' laser blade! The two units are now trying to overpower each other...
tengusaur (20:21:10): (Flit continue)
tengusaur (20:22:16): The particle gun shot hits the Vagan Gear straight-on, the huge unit too occupied with melee to dodge! The shot, in addition to damage, knocks the enemy back, which lets Leos deal a few more cuts to it.
Guy Zumpetta (20:22:36): He had the time needed to transform, the time needed get back in the fight!
tengusaur (20:22:39): But then Vagan Gear extends its arms, firing two beams from them - one at Pale Rider and another at Gold Four! (react you two)
Guy Zumpetta (20:23:23): Flit: "EZELCANT!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:23:26): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dl_q1DSVws
cubey@aol.pl (20:23:53): Brye: "Watch out!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:23:58): # Ataru
tengusaur (20:24:03): (approved)
Guy Zumpetta (20:24:28): The AGE-1 Normal charged, full speed. In one hand a beam saber, in the other, a very odd and to many here unknown weapon. Did the AGE System develop something else in the meantime?
cubey@aol.pl (20:24:38): *The Huckebein swoops down to grab Gold Four, take both out of harm's way at top speed - while activating the barrier.+
Guy Zumpetta (20:24:40): "LIAR! MURDER! MANIPULATOR!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:24:43): "MONSTER!"
VJockey (20:25:03): *Leos, burned out as it was from the battle simply does his best to keep the beams from hitting anywhere vital.+
cubey@aol.pl (20:25:06): Unfortunately being in full defensive/evasive mode, the Real Trooper can't do much more...
Guy Zumpetta (20:25:08): The Anti-X-Rounder Helmet's lense shattered, and then it just felt so...
Guy Zumpetta (20:25:10): ... Easy.
tengusaur (20:25:49): Pale Rider's arms are burned as it blocks the incoming beam. Luckily the vital systems are still functional.
tengusaur (20:26:08): Gold Four is caught by the Huckebein, and the combined energy fields of both protect against the other blast.
Guy Zumpetta (20:26:39): * The Gundam's beam saber came slashing down, poinpointing a weakened section in the Vagan gear's abdomen. Enough to open it up enough for the polearm to be shoved right inside of it. "NOW FACE EVERYONE YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF IN THE NEXT WORLD!" The Beam Rolling Lancer activated, its massive DODS rotary blades sweeping up to finally put an end to the Vagan Gear and the man inside.+
tengusaur (20:27:41): His Anti-X Rounder helmet shattered, Flit cuts into the Vagan Gear. Just enough to make room for the spinning beam wheel...
tengusaur (20:27:54): Which rips Vagan Gear from the inside, dealing more and more damage to it.
tengusaur (20:28:05): Electric currents start to crack over its surface.
tengusaur (20:28:19): Ezelcant: "No... It wasn't supposed to happen like this..."
tengusaur (20:28:22): Ezelcant: "My..."
tengusaur (20:28:27): Ezelcant: "My Eden...!"
tengusaur (20:28:44): Vagan Gear falls apart, each of its segments blowing up on its own.
cubey@aol.pl (20:29:04): Brye: "That's it. Did we... did we win?"
tengusaur (20:29:31): The Vagan leader is dead. But around you, the battle is still going on, albeit much smaller in scale.
Guy Zumpetta (20:29:34): Flit: "He's dead..."
frifreeman (20:29:51): Walt: "It seems that... Your Eden is further in the East than you thought..."
tengusaur (20:29:53): Most of the Vagans lost their will to fight. But some still remain loyal to Ezelcant. Even if they;re losing to ESUN forces at this point.
tengusaur (20:30:10): At this rate, the fortress is yours.
Guy Zumpetta (20:30:14): "... And they're still fighting..."
Guy Zumpetta (20:30:21): They were still... after EVERYTHING he said...!
tengusaur (20:30:24): Flit, you see one of the colony destroyer missiles floating by, dropped by a Dorado.
Guy Zumpetta (20:30:25): They were still fighting?!?
VJockey (20:30:38): "... They're monsters Flit."
VJockey (20:30:49): "Pure and simple."
Guy Zumpetta (20:31:02): Preaching to the choir, Leos...
cubey@aol.pl (20:31:04): Brye: "They've lost already, they just don't know it yet."
Guy Zumpetta (20:31:18): "Then they need to be shown the truth of it..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:31:21): Brye: "... What are you going to do?" She doesn't like the sound of this.
Guy Zumpetta (20:31:53): The AGE-1 drifted up, grabbing at the Colony Destroyer...
Guy Zumpetta (20:32:08): ... And turned to point it straight at Second Moon.
cubey@aol.pl (20:32:17): Brye: "Put that down."
Guy Zumpetta (20:32:25): "They need to see!"
VJockey (20:32:37): [Ethermaster is going to get between the Huckebein and AGE-1]
Guy Zumpetta (20:32:42): He opened a channel on all frequencies. So everyone'd be able to hear. "ALL OF YOU!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:33:11): One pull of the trigger. That's all it would take to end the Vagans for good. Such a tiny, easy little task...
cubey@aol.pl (20:33:16): Brye: "Is this the kind of friends you are?!" The Huckebein's beam magnum is aiming at the Ethermaster now.
Guy Zumpetta (20:33:22): "He's dead...!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:33:43): "The man who wanted us all to just fight and die for his concept of peace is dead!"
VJockey (20:34:24): "...Shut up... and let Flit have his say."
Guy Zumpetta (20:34:25): ... But he wasn't here to blow up a colony.
Aero (20:34:30): Rani: "...."
Guy Zumpetta (20:34:32): Saviors shouldn't do that.
cubey@aol.pl (20:34:35): Brye: "Says who?"
Guy Zumpetta (20:34:47): "... You're fighting and you're dying and you're letting him win even though he's dead!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:34:55): "We don't have to let him win!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:35:11): Enough people have probably seen him by now.
Guy Zumpetta (20:35:28): And Leos and the new people were about to fight each other too... he had to end this farce.
Guy Zumpetta (20:36:15): He turned his aim straight up, firing the missile harmlessly away from everyone.
cubey@aol.pl (20:36:25): Brye: "Ah!"
Guy Zumpetta (20:36:27): And the gave one Last Shooting to do away with it.
Guy Zumpetta (20:36:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-l2oS5csiQ
Guy Zumpetta (20:36:36): "... We can live..."
tengusaur (20:36:54): The missile explodes in space, away from any targets, not hitting anything.
tengusaur (20:37:20): Bathed in its glow, the various Mobile Suits around you are watching... And listening. Not fighting.
tengusaur (20:37:29): Then, one after another, the Vagans stop.
tengusaur (20:37:34): They surrender.
VJockey (20:37:49): "...Can you really trust them to just stop?"
