cubey@aol.pl (00:19:08): Macross is still on its voyage home, trying its best (and succeeding so far) to evade further attacks by the giant aliens.
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:41): This may change now as you receive a distress signal.
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:56): Or rather, have been receiving for a while now, giving you time to prepare.
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:32): Could it be a trap? Maybe. But deep in space, such signals are unusual. Even if you don't investigate it, the pursuers will.
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:42): And well, you can't just let those people die out there, can you?
Peter Kampschroeder (00:21:25): Gloval: "Hmm....It's a bit beyond the range of our Valkyries...alright, let's go investigate."
Peter Kampschroeder (00:22:49): Misa does the usual shipwide broadcast. "Unity group members, valkyrie pilots, prepare to launch! We'll be investigating a distress signal nearby."
frifreeman (00:23:22): Kakizaki:"Oh man, a distress signal this deep in space?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:23:31): Macross moves through an asteroid thicket.
frifreeman (00:23:45): Kakizaki: "Lucky we're in this area, isn't it?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:23:55): Which still means there is plenty of room to maneuver between space rocks, because that's what a thicket means. They're not right next to one another.
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:03): It seems the signal comes from one of the asteroids, in fact.
Ginkan SK (00:24:23): Raquel had been on the ship for a time and had become more than aware of the distres signal. It did leave her concerned admittly she's concerned. "This has me a bit worried I admit...still we can't leave them. Have we been able to find any information on who might be out there?"
Overman Zappa (00:24:24): Garrod's mind is off in space (almost literally) until the call to deploy comes from Misa. "Oh, heading out... ahh... well alright
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:46): If you observe the asteroid, you can see that some kind of space ship has crashed on it.
Aero (00:25:51): Willis: "It could be anyone but, I'm not one to just ignore a distress signal either."
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:51): The space ship looks human made!
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:02): But more importantly, there are humanoid figures around it.
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:11): Very large humanoid figures, taller than a mobile suit.
Overman Zappa (00:26:15): Human made, as opposed to being made in a factory? Nyohoho.
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:19): They seem engaged in combat - one of them against the rest!
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:35): Those of you who did not deploy probably should right now.
Aero (00:28:11): Willis launches Strahlend but he's forced to stick to the Macross for now.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:28:47): Misa: "Pilot Clades! Don't tell me your unit isn't spaceworthy..."
Overman Zappa (00:29:19): Garrod takes off in the Gundam, zipping out there while in the back of his mind worrying about Tiffa still.
Aero (00:29:21): Willis: "Well it's airtight at least!"
Aero (00:29:27): Willis: "Does that count?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:45): Commander Imogen: "Take a space booster and launch yourself to the asteroid."
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:57): Imogen: "Probably once you get a view on the situation though."
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:41): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:49): Nao: "Hello? Can someone hear this?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:57): You receive a transmission from the downed starship.
cubey@aol.pl (00:31:13): The person on the other side seems to be a young boy.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:31:46): Kim: "Sir, I'm picking up a transmission...Unidentified vessel, this is the Macross. We read you."
frifreeman (00:31:54): Kakizaki: "Hey kid, what are you doing this deep in space? Are you lost?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:04): Nao: "I'm glad someone came! My brother can't hold on for much longer!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:10): Nao: "Please help him!"
Ginkan SK (00:32:33): Raquel "Looks like it's legit we best get ready to move shouldn't we?"
Peter Kampschroeder (00:32:37): Kim: "Your brother? I'm sorry, can you be more specific?"
Peter Kampschroeder (00:32:43): "What does he look like?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:40): Nao: "We're not lost, our starship was attacked by those giant monsters sent by Kaiser Belial. Brother Ran was hurt, but someone else came and they are working together to fight them off!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:51): Nao: "Please help them."
Aero (00:33:56): Willis: "Kaiser Belial, now that's a threatening name"
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:08): The kid flips a switch and the view changes from his perspective.
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:21): Must be an outside camera of the ship. Which shows one of the fighting humanoids.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:34:41): Claudia: "So the ones in the matching uniforms are the bad guys."
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:48): http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140217124702/ultra/images/0/0a/Zero_Dwahh!.png
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:48): Imogen Howe: "I think we heard enough. Save the ship and its crew, Unity Group!"
Overman Zappa (00:36:05): Garrod: "Ahhh, y-yes sir!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:11): Enemy list: Bemlar, Legionoid Alpha x4, Legionoid Beta x4
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:14): http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130919063505/ultra/images/0/08/Bemlar.png
Bemlar

http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121020064654/ultra/images/9/94/Ultrmn_Lgnds_%28%CE%B1%29.png
Legionoid Alpha

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121020051918/ultra/images/f/f2/Ultrmn_Lgnds_%28%CE%B2%29.png
Legionoid Beta
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:19): The enemies are about 50 meters tall each by the way.
sketchbookfiend (00:36:44): Zero: "Looks like they heard you just in time, Nao."
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:28): Initiative list: Ultraman Zero, Kakizaki, Willis, Shu, Raquel, Garrod, Captain Gloval
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:33): Zero, Kakizaki, Willis, go
Overman Zappa (00:37:38): Garrod: "I don't know what we're supposed to do against them but... We'll try!"
frifreeman (00:37:40): Kakizaki: "Whoa, they're huge!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:08): Nao: "Right on time, too. Please take care of yourself!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:26): Also.
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:45): In addition to the lineup, Gundam AGE-1 is deploying without Flit saying a word!
sketchbookfiend (00:39:33): Zero: "I think we'll be fine with their help" the Ultra brushes himself off as he gets a breather "Just fire all you got at them!" in response to Garrod.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:39:48): Misa: "Age gundam, you're supposed to give the all green when you launch!"
Ginkan SK (00:40:07): Raquel "Let's get too it shall we? Humm this things look organic this should be ... fun!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:21): Nao: "This is Zero, he is borrowing my brother's body so they both can survive together."
Aero (00:40:42): * Strahlend grabs onto a Space Booster and hangs on as it flies towards the asteroid. "Something new every day..." Once he was close enough to land on the Asteroid the machine lets go of of the Space Booster and directs it to crash into one of the Drill Legionoids at full speed. +
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:49): No response from AGE, only acceleration towards the enemies!
frifreeman (00:41:00): Kakizaki: "The bigger they all, the harder they fall!" Kakizaki launchches toward the legionoid alpha.
frifreeman (00:41:07): Kakizaki:"Well, except it's in space... I wonder if they still can fall... but whatever."
cubey@aol.pl (00:41:38): You have the Legionoid's attention, Willis! It looks up and fires pink laser beams from its eyes. One of them hits the booster, making it smoke. Another... it may hit you if you're not careful! React.
sketchbookfiend (00:42:14): *Zero rushes to grab one of the Legionoids and smash his fist into it. He's been fighting 'em off for a while and he can't go throwing lasers the whole time right now.+
frifreeman (00:42:26): Kakizaki opens fire! It flies passes the Legionoid and fires his vulcan a couple of time!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:57): Do you target the same legionoid as Willis or Zero, or a different one Kakizaki?
Aero (00:43:29): * "Good solid ground." He makes a mad dash towards the Legionoid, avoiding what shots he can while relying on his armor to block any stray shots. +
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:47): The Legionoid stumbles backwards, the powerful punch obviously affecting it! But it charges back at Zero, its drills whirring and ready to bite into your shiny torso! React.
sketchbookfiend (00:45:22): *Zero dodges by leaping over the robot, kicking off of it's head to springboard away from it+
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:34): Willis manages to avoid being hit by the Legionoid beams, because the huge monster is being distracted by Kakizaki!
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:57): As it turns to look up and try to fry the annoying VF, it is hit by the burning booster! An explosion causes it stumble and fall - but it goes back up!
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:17): Zero's dodge is successful, and he further demolishes the Legionoid.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:31): Then, Flit follows in AGE-1! He can go for a finishing blow, just gotta use that rotary beam thing.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:46): But instead, AGE just jumps over the damaged Legionoid, like it was playing around.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:57): Just what the heck is the pilot thinking?!
cubey@aol.pl (00:48:04): Shu, Raquel, Garrod, go.
sketchbookfiend (00:48:07): Zero: "The heck is up with that guy?"
griefgathering (00:49:58): Chika: "Hey, hey! 'Sup? Sorry we're late!"
Overman Zappa (00:50:02): *Garrod joins the gang up on the gun-toting Legionoid, firing with the beam machine gun and vulcans at the same time, close enough that the vulcans would hopefully be felt on the back of it's head as well.+
Wyverncakes (00:50:14): @ Garrod
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:18): Approved
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:23): Guns are Beta by the way. drills are Alpha.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:50:23): Misa: "Age Gundam, what are you doing! Age Gundam!"
griefgathering (00:50:39): Well, the Granzon joins a bit late but convenient wormholes and all that.
Wyverncakes (00:50:49): Flit: "He's fooling around!"
Wyverncakes (00:50:53): Oh wait...
Aero (00:51:08): Willis: "Stop playing around Flit."
Wyverncakes (00:51:08): ... Flit's coming through now? But the transmission's not coming from the AGE-1!
Wyverncakes (00:51:34): * No, it's from a Genoace that just launched, joining in helping Garrod's attack with... its beam spraygun as best it can.+
Aero (00:52:15): Willis: "Wait isn't...then who's in the other Gundam?"
Wyverncakes (00:52:26): "It's... it's complicated!"
griefgathering (00:52:29): *Deciding not to take any risks, Shu directs a Gran Beam at the same Legionoid targeted by Garrod and Flit. He has to gauge these guys first, somehow.+
Peter Kampschroeder (00:52:36): Kim: "Sir, that transmission just now..." Gloval: "It's complicated?!"
Wyverncakes (00:52:37): "There was this kid on the Star Rose!"
Ginkan SK (00:53:42): *The Amazon is launching now at this point with the others, she's quiclkly suited up, latched in place and her machine is moving like it's a living creature itselgf as it drops ion making use of it's booster to drop kick in on one of the unenaged Legionoid Alpha's there's a flare of Ki about her legs. It also seems to somehow be burning with fire even though it is in space. She lets out a large battle cry as she drops in on it.
Ginkan SK (00:53:44): +
Wyverncakes (00:54:35): "When there was the scramble to look into the distress signal, he followed after me. And when I got to the hangar... he took the AGE Device and took the Gundam!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:50): The trio of Garrod, Flit and Shu concentrate their attacks on one of the Betas!
sketchbookfiend (00:55:08): Zero: "You guys have problems with people stealing your robots and you came to help? Sounds like you got your own hands full."
Wyverncakes (00:55:08): "... And thanks to the delay on the larger TSEN devices, I could only get out here now."
griefgathering (00:55:23): Chika: "So he stole your Gundam? Ouch."
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:28): These creatures are quite resilient, but if you add this all together then the damage starts to accumulate.
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:51): The Legionoid's response? It takes to space, its legs acting as jet engines! It starts to charge its cannons...
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:19): And then a deep PHWOOM noise is heard through space (don't question it) as a rotating beam blast penetrates the Legionoid from behind, causing it to explode!
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:25): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vYz_TMBqJh0/TroITrr7bgI/AAAAAAAAAMA/kRqeqHpcmKc/s1600/AGE5-4.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:30): View from Gundam AGE's cockpit.
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:57): The red headed kid looks really happy with himself as AGE lowers its rifle.
Wyverncakes (00:57:12): Flit: "Desil! This isn't a game!"
Aero (00:57:15): Willis: "Well for a kid he's doing alright."
Peter Kampschroeder (00:57:16): Vanessa: "...So that's the kid, huh..."
Wyverncakes (00:57:17): "Give the AGE-1 back!"
Overman Zappa (00:57:27): Garrod: "Not the first time I've seen a Gundam stolen... matter of fact, this one..." Well, that's a story for later...
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:29): Desil: "But I'm having fun!"
Wyverncakes (00:57:30): Yeah, overprotective Flit is overprotective.
sketchbookfiend (00:57:48): Zero: "...He's younger than Nao even."
Overman Zappa (00:57:50): Garrod: "If you're going to do that at least help us! Sheesh!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:03): The Legionoid attacked by Raquel seems to have been taken by surprise! It looks around in confusion before getting a flaming boot to the face!
Peter Kampschroeder (00:58:05): Misa: "Fun or not, that's a valuable piece of military equipment! Please land and return it immediately!"
sketchbookfiend (00:58:18): Zero: "Oi kid it's dangerouns, don't pick a time like this to start having fun!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:19): But as it falls down, it fires eye lasers at the Amazon. React, Raquel!
griefgathering (00:58:45): Shu can sort of relate to Flit here with his overprotectiveness, but he's saying nothing for now.
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:05): Desil: "Look. More of them came to play."
sketchbookfiend (00:59:13): Zero: "What!?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:15): What does he mean? Simple.
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:28): Macross's bridge crew picks up signatures.
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:34): New arrivals.
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:40): Well, not precisely new. The giants are back.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:59:43): Vanessa: "Sir! More enemy signatures!" Gloval: "What?!"
Wyverncakes (00:59:48): Flit: "More-"
Wyverncakes (01:00:01): Fliit: "Wait... more enemies?!?"
griefgathering (01:00:04): Chika: "Master, we've got more- Oh wait nevermind...they beat me to it."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:00:16): Vanessa: "Zentraedi ships! And...Oh, that's a lot..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:19): It looks like they were lead here either by the distress signal, or the Macross itself. Not that it makes a difference, because space immediately swarms with their battle pods, launched from capital ships.
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:25): (Do we know their name yet?)
Peter Kampschroeder (01:00:40): (Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good question)
Aero (01:00:44): (Heph told us)
griefgathering (01:00:46): Shu: *Disappointed sigh*
griefgathering (01:01:00): ^directed at Chika
Ginkan SK (01:01:17): *Raquel has no intent to let up, yet? She's now under attack from an eye laser as it goes down and she moves to evade the attack as she's not reached the level of insanity to deflect lasers /yet/. Someday perhaps but not now. So she';s going to evade+
Wyverncakes (01:01:38): To Heph's post about it!
cubey@aol.pl (01:01:47): New enemies: Glaug x20, Regult x80, Regult Light Missile x30, Regult Heavy Missile x20, Queadol-Magdomilla x5, Quiltra-Queleual x5
sketchbookfiend (01:02:12): Zero: "Those aren't Belial's forces. What the hell brought them ove- ...oh right."
cubey@aol.pl (01:02:23): Glaug

griefgathering (01:02:35): Chika: "Better rev up what's left of the cheat engine anyway - it looks like we'll need it!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:02:42): Misa: "All Valkyries, scramble! We have numerous enemy contact!"
Overman Zappa (01:02:45): They're still big...
cubey@aol.pl (01:02:50): The former battleship is about 1.2 km long, the latter is much heavier and 3 km long.
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:01): Gloval and Flit, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:37): Raquel manages to evade the optic beam somehow, though navigating in space is much different than in atmosphere!
Aero (01:03:44): Willis: "Talk about being outnumbered."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:04:06): Claudia: "Sir, should we..." Gloval: "...No, not yet. The damage to the city would be immense...Keep up a barrage as normal." "Aye aye, sir."
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:11): Also.
Wyverncakes (01:04:12): Flit: "Them again..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:42): Taking advantage of the chaos, Bemlar opens its mouth. Zero, suddenly you have a powerful, continous beam of energy shot out at you!
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:43): React!
Peter Kampschroeder (01:05:27): *And the macross counterattack comes! The valkyries, destroids, and the ship itself open up on the GIANT ALIEN forces with a barrage of countless missiles and guns!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:12): The first wave of attacking Zentradi (name for convenience) forces is obliterated!
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:40): But their capital ships open their missile tubes, and counter with a huge Itano circus of their own! What does Macross do, Captain?
sketchbookfiend (01:06:47): *Zero's sort of caught off guard so he gets blasted a bit but pulls himself out of the stream before it can wreck him too badly.+
Peter Kampschroeder (01:07:45): Gloval: "Raise the pinpoint barrier field! Focus our guns on those missiles!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:33): Zero is hurt as the blue beam burns around his body painfully! Fortunately you leave its effect quickly enough, so there is no serious damage yet... but adding it up to the combat fatigue, this does not look good.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:08:50): *And those missiles are met with a barrage of bullets to shoot them down as they get close, along with...a forcefield! Three of them, each fairly small compared to the Macross's massive bulk-but they zip around, intercepting missiles as they impact.+
Wyverncakes (01:09:22): Flit: "What the...?"
sketchbookfiend (01:10:11): Zero: "Ugh, gonna have to put this down quick." that combat fatigue really shows when the color timer starts blinking slowly. Hasn't redded out yet but...
cubey@aol.pl (01:10:12): Defensive shoot down and power field trackballs work in unison to minimize damage to the SDF Macross. Some missiles connect but it's negligible - for now.
Ginkan SK (01:10:39): Raquel. "Your too slow..." She becomes aware of the other aliens coming to fight, okay if that's what they want they will get a fight. She'd been hoping to try her skills against a race of giants she can't hide it she's somewhat excited about such a challernge. Still a part of her wonders why is she so hot to fight for half a moment. she dismisses it shorly as there's much to worry about right now.
Wyverncakes (01:10:46): Flit: "Desil... Desil this isn't a game!"
Wyverncakes (01:10:53): "Those are aliens!" Violent ones1"
Wyverncakes (01:10:54): ^!
Peter Kampschroeder (01:10:56): Claudia: "Minimal damage, sir!" Gloval: "Good...let's hope it stays that way."
Wyverncakes (01:11:05): "And if you stay out here you could get killed!"
Overman Zappa (01:11:29): Garrod tries to keep reasoning with Desil too. "It's way to dangerous to play around out here kid! Go back to the ship already!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:51): Desil's reaction is to laugh in glee as Gundam AGE starts running around the Legionoids' legs, being a hard-to-hit distraction.
Overman Zappa (01:11:52): Kids telling a kid not to play; hypocritical or what?
cubey@aol.pl (01:12:03): He may not take it seriously but he is surprisingly skilled at piloting this.
cubey@aol.pl (01:12:12): (We need a Flit action)
cubey@aol.pl (01:12:25): Also Zero, Kakizaki, move now.
sketchbookfiend (01:12:37): Zero notices the AGE again and starts yelling "Hey hey! Stop playing around already, those Legionoids aren't something to take lightly!"
sketchbookfiend (01:13:21): *Unfortunately no matter how much he yells he knows he's going to need to keep his attention on Bemlar so he pulls off the horns on his head- the Zero sluggers and rushes in to start slashing into the lizard monster+
frifreeman (01:13:38): Kakizaki: "Hey, that kid might be as talented as me!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:51): Nao: "Watch out, it's going to fire the beam again!"
Wyverncakes (01:13:57): * Trying to make the most of the situation, Flit has his Genoace move in front of the AGE-1, opening fire with the spraygun on the closest enemy -a Regult- in the hopes of keeping the AGE-1 safe!+
frifreeman (01:14:19): Kakizaki flies toward the more familiar fleet of Glaug and Regult, and fires a swarm of missiles toward them!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:19): And indeed, as Zero charges forward, Bemlar breathes beams - but this time they are short, quick bursts of blue fire! React/continue, Zero!
Wyverncakes (01:14:19): Flit: "Desil, just-"
Wyverncakes (01:14:27): -And it turns out Desil's already run off again.
Wyverncakes (01:14:29): "DESIL!"
griefgathering (01:14:45): @Flit?
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:50): Approved
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:15): The battle pods scatter, several of them succumbing to the missiles. Regults promptly fire back from where they are using their pulse guns, while the Glaugs try to maneuver behind Kakizaki's VF and fire their main cannons once they have him in their sights!
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:16): React!
griefgathering (01:16:19): *Like some sorcerer, the Granzon's left hand radiates with black energy. At the last second, two pairs of wormholes open up in sequence just in front of the Beam Spraygun shots. Even if that's not much, it should amplify their power a bit.+
sketchbookfiend (01:16:31): Zero: "If my Uncle could take down this overgrown lizard, he's a joke for me!"
sketchbookfiend (01:16:33): *Zero puts his full attention into dodging and leaps and ducks between the bursts, swinging with the sluggers to deflect any he can't- and once he's moved in close he brings the blades in to chop into it's chest.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:45): Reinforced by the power of GRAVITY, the usually weak beam spraygun shots pierce through the Regult, exploding it in the spot and also the one behind it that came to investigate.
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:53): But the third survives and fires pulse rounds at Flit. React.
Ginkan SK (01:19:30): Raquel "Giant monsters, aliens, it's quite the party isn't it Garrod?"
Wyverncakes (01:19:31): * Doing the best he can in the inferior mobile suit, Flit has the Genoace bank to the side while returning fire! "Just focus on one spot... break through it...!" Said spot being the "eyeball" in the center of the machine!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:37): The sluggers throw several beams off-target, perfectly parried, and Zero evades the rest! You approach closer with every splinter of a second and then - slash!
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:53): Bemlar takes several clumsy steps backwards, deep wounds on its torso. It roars in fury!
Overman Zappa (01:20:05): Garrod: "Y-yeah... a real huge party. Someone better bake a cake for us!"
sketchbookfiend (01:20:07): Zero: "Heh, serves you right."
frifreeman (01:20:09): Kakizaki: "Uh oh!" Kakizaki flies in between the asteroid thickets, trying to lose his pursuers and targeters in between them. He then flies too close toward a big one and almost crash! But at the last second, he transform his fighter into a gerwalk mode, and skate on the surface of the asteroid, using it as a cover. "I totally meant to do that."
frifreeman (01:20:11): +
Peter Kampschroeder (01:20:51): Giggles from Shammy at that.
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:55): This is enough to evade the Regults' fire, and one of the pursuing Glaugs does not make it and crashes into the asteroid!
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:12): The rest land atop of it though and start surrounding Kakizaki, flanking from all sides.
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:15): This is a bad situation!
Ginkan SK (01:21:22): *Raquel says "Tell you what Garrod I'll get you and Tifa one after this is over?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:50): The main sensor smokes when hit, and the Regult falls down.
Ginkan SK (01:21:55): # Kaziki
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:15): It opens, and from inside a giant man in a space suit emerges, looking confused and angry!
Ginkan SK (01:22:16): (Err Kakizaki)
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:20): Approved Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:03): Also Willis, Shu and Raquel can move.
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:15): (Raquel can move after the support, or integrate it into her action)
griefgathering (01:24:22): (List of remaining enemies please?)
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:40): Enemy list (Kaiser Belial): Bemlar (damaged), Legionoid Alpha x4 (3 damaged), Legionoid Beta x3
Enemy list (Zentradi): Glaug x11, Regult x52, Regult Light Missile x25, Regult Heavy Missile x15, Queadol-Magdomilla x5, Quiltra-Queleual x5, Zentradi on foot x1
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:55): Quiltra-Queleual x3, I mean
griefgathering (01:24:57): (Thanks)
Ginkan SK (01:24:59): *Raquel sees the skull pilot is in trouble and is moving to helpo him now. She cups her hands otghete focusing and a burst of energy comes out snaking out looking almost like dragons made of energy that seeks out the Zentradi units hounding Kakizaki!. "HA!" She does not stop moving she's donre what she can to help him,s he turns about and snap kicks the Legionoid Alpha she'd been fighting before.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:00): The big fatty ones.
Ginkan SK (01:25:09): (combined for sanity sake)
Overman Zappa (01:26:08): Garrod: "S-sure! I think she'd like that."
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:13): Good news - you destroy several of the Glaugs, whose pilots totally did not see something ridiculous like that coming. The Legionoid was also further damaged, and small may you be, but the kick sends it spinning away and then explode!
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:37): Bad news, the remaining Glaugs open fire with everything they have - cannons, pulse beams, missiles. Not at Kakizaki, but at Raquel. React!
Aero (01:27:00): Willis: "Crap we need to get rid of those ships somehow.""
Overman Zappa (01:27:27): Garrod: "If only Tiffa were here..." Again forgetting how using that thing made her feel
Ginkan SK (01:28:05): *Raquel knows when to fight and when not to, as she brings down several Zentradi units, she also is able to finish off one of the Legionoids. The problem for her is? She's under attacka nd is now attempting to evade the fire that's coming her way.+
griefgathering (01:28:34): Shu: (to TOT) "Will you be able to handle one up close?"
Aero (01:28:47): Willis: "...Maybe."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:28:56): Misa: "Garrod, if you can get that cannon of yours operating, now'd be a great time to do it!"
Aero (01:29:02): For once he actually sounds serious.
frifreeman (01:29:36): #Raquel?
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:02): Approved.
griefgathering (01:30:07): Shu: *"Very well." And in response to that, the Granzon opens up a wormhole...that leads directly to one of the enemy ships. This is of course meant for Willis to use.+
frifreeman (01:30:57): Kakizaki's machine stands up, and starts firing at the missiles with his vulcan and defensive laser..+
Overman Zappa (01:31:33): Garrod: "It's not something I can just do without Tiffa...
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:56): The barrage is too much! Raquel is able to evade some attacks, but turning your back on the Glaugs was a bad idea. Even with Kakizaki's defense, Amazon is seriously damaged - you need to be really careful now.
Wyverncakes (01:31:59): Flit: "Then we'll just have to try to manage without it!"
Wyverncakes (01:32:09): Honestly Flit would settle for Desil just giving back the fucking Gundam.
Aero (01:33:05): * "...Thanks" Strahlend draws it's sword and jumps through the wormhole to the Zentraedi ship. The Knight-like machine lands onto the ship with a large thud. Once on the ship he's gonna try to cut his way into it. +
frifreeman (01:33:25): Kakizaki:" Oh crap! Are you alright?"
griefgathering (01:35:37): Chika: "Hey fighter girl, watch yourself!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:48): Willis starts to cut his way into the ship! You are making good progress before the giants realize what is going on - several of the closest missile launchers spin to face you and fire their explosive payloads! React!
Ginkan SK (01:36:08): Raquel has a wonderful experiance of feeling her machine's paion but hey pain means she's alive. "I'm alive and I owe you one, big guy." Now she's getting heckled by the bird, but hey it's not her Master, she's going to have to watch it now with the damage she's suffered.
Aero (01:38:09): * Quicksilver switches to a form resembling molten metal before reforming again into a very large greatsword about twice the size of the machine before stabbing it into the ship and taking cover behind the weapon. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:40:31): The Queadol Magdomilla takes heavy damage - the greatsword forces it to split into two seperate (and still damaged) components, while also tanking missiles from one side. Willis takes the ones from the other, but for point defense this is quite weak.
cubey@aol.pl (01:40:38): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/queadol-magdomilla-descent.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:40:42): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/queadol-magdomilla-heavy.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:41:19): The remaining Zentradi capital ships charge their beams in unison, and prepare for another missile volley.
cubey@aol.pl (01:41:35): This time they will be coordinated, good luck tanking all of this simultaneously, Macross!
cubey@aol.pl (01:41:40): You have only a few precious moments to react
cubey@aol.pl (01:41:48): Garrod, Gloval and Flit, go now.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:42:58): Claudia: "Sir! We're reading a huge energy signature from the enemy fleet!" Gloval: "All hands, brace for impact!"
Wyverncakes (01:43:11): Flit: "No... there's gotta be something..."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:43:34): (I think I'll take the action after I get the results from that attempt to 'defend')
Overman Zappa (01:45:12): *Garrod moves to an enemy that might be easier to handle, given size and all that jazz as he engages a couple of Glaugg with the beam machine gun, better use it while he's got it+
Wyverncakes (01:45:35): * Trying his hardest to think of something he can do... all Flit finds himself coming up with is trying to come at the lead ship from the side, hoping to maybe catch one of the ships' attention as he plinks away with his peashooter of a beam gun.+
Wyverncakes (01:45:44): "Desil...!"
Wyverncakes (01:46:01): Not that he really figures having the DODS Rifle right now would change much, but it would've been SOMETHING.
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:58): The Macross is bombarded by a relentless barrage! The bridge shakes under fire, and you receive damage reports from many sections.
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:22): This is most definitely not good. Not good at all! One more attack like this and the Macross is as good as a flying piece of space junk.
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:01): Unfortunately Flit's attempts were unsuccessful, except for destroying one missile launcher - out of many.
frifreeman (01:48:04): Kakizaki: "Oh no, the macross! Its kinda my home now!"
sketchbookfiend (01:48:27): Zero: "Tsk, don't go kicking the bucket when you came to help out."
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:31): Garrod obliterates most of the remaining Glaugs. Only three remain, and they do not try to fight back. They retreat and regroup.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:48:58): Gloval's hat gets knocked off with the shaking. "Damnit....One more hit like that..." Misa: "Sir?" Gloval: "It seems we've got no choice. All hands! Initiate ship-wide transformation!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:29): Nao: "I thought the worst is behind us, but now... this isn't the end yet, please tell me it isn't!"
sketchbookfiend (01:49:58): Zero: "Don't worry Nao, I'm not going to let them get wiped ou-....wait what did he just say?"
Ginkan SK (01:50:28): Raquel "That ship has a whole city on it we can't leave this to change...we got ot think of something..."
Overman Zappa (01:50:56): Garrod: "Transformation? That huge thing?"
sketchbookfiend (01:51:11): Zero: "Transform into...what?"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:51:31): Claudia: "...All hands, prepare for firing of the main gun. Transformation will commence in one minute." Warning sirens echo across the ship, and the incredulity outside is repeated by countless staff...
griefgathering (01:52:22): Chika: "Ho ho ho...what's this...?"
Wyverncakes (01:52:33): Flit's left gritting his teeth at this.
Wyverncakes (01:53:00): And with only the spraygun and a heat rod to work with, he's not going to be able to pull off Willis's crazy stunts
Peter Kampschroeder (01:54:04): But the plan continues anyways, and the Macross-changes shape. Claudia: "T-minus five...four...three...two..one...zero!" Kim: “J,K,L blocks, initiate transformation” Shammy: “Please increase output to the no.7 reactor.” Blocks shift their position, and the main body of the ship swings beneath the rest.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:54:31): http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130717195252/macross/images/6/61/SDF1_Attack.gif
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:44): Nao: "Woah!"
sketchbookfiend (01:54:46): Zero: "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY-"
Wyverncakes (01:55:02): Flit: "It's..."
Wyverncakes (01:55:15): Yeah, all he can think of right now is like... the Autobots.
griefgathering (01:56:00): "Hm." It's not even his machine, yet Shu can't help but smirk. That's impressive.
Ginkan SK (01:56:33): Raquel "Impressive...wait ...."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:56:35): *Vanessa: "J, K, L block, all green!" Shammy: "Reactors at 100%!" Kim: "All sections reporting the all clear! Transformation complete!" Gloval: "Good...Claudia! Target the enemy fleet! Main gun, fire!"+
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:13): You are all blinded by a huge blast of sheer firepower emanating from the Macross main gun.
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:24): When your sight returns, most of the Zentradi fleet is just... gone.
frifreeman (01:58:31): Kakizaki: "holy crap!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:56): Enemy list (Zentradi): Glaug x3, Regult x12, Regult Light Missile x8, Regult Heavy Missile x5, Queadol-Magdomilla x1 (seperated and damaged), Zentradi on foot x1
Wyverncakes (01:59:34): The blinding beam of destruction makes Flit fall back out of desire to not get Friendly Fire'd...
Wyverncakes (01:59:36): But then...
Wyverncakes (01:59:37): "W-wait!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:39): Zero, Kakizaki, Willis, go.
Wyverncakes (01:59:41): "Mr. Willis!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:59:45): Kim: "...whoa."
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:13): Willis and Flit escaped death via giant beam of destruction as the remaining battleship (the one they targetted) was not on its path.
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:42): Nao: "Alright! Now finish it off, Zero!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:54): It seems his spirits have picked up after this display of power.
Aero (02:01:10): Willis: "I'm fine, just barely got onto this half."
sketchbookfiend (02:01:25): Zero: "Huh- Oh right yeah!" He had gotten distracted by the light show wiping out the enemies and turns his attention to Bemlar
griefgathering (02:01:46): Shu: "Stay focused."
griefgathering (02:02:08): This is directed more at the two by the enemy ship.
sketchbookfiend (02:02:14): *He replaces the Sluggers on his head and decides to go old school, rushing the lizard to grab him and then shift to fling it into the air&
frifreeman (02:04:42): Kakizaki: "Okay, time to finish this! Watch the ace in action!" Kakizaki flies toward the remaining enemy fighters, zig zagging left and right and firing his vulcans here and there, before firing a swarm of his remaining missiles toward the remaining glaug and regults. Apparently his spirit is lifted by the lightshow as well.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:49): Bemlar roars again, its arms spread and claws ready to slice. Zero manages to grab it and throw it into the air... well, into space, but it charges the mouth beam and prepares to breath once again while you fling it!
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:51): React/continue.
cubey@aol.pl (02:06:07): The Regults turn this into a bullet hell game, firing pulse cannons and also a swarm of micromissiles from the Light Missile Carriers. Some of them explode soon after firing courtesy of Kakizaki's shots, but it seems you pushed them to the brink!
cubey@aol.pl (02:06:08): React!
Aero (02:06:09): * "You don't have to tell me that!" Despite the fact that he had a witness nearby he really wasn't in a position to take this fight easy. Strahlend pulls it's large sword of the ship and pauses for a moment. The entire blade seems to grow hazy and smoke-like before he jumps back again and impales the hazy sword into the ship before running across the ship to bisect it into two. Everything that was touched by the blade would be disintegrated.+
sketchbookfiend (02:06:58): *Zero dodges back a bit to get into a better position and then poses out one arm in front and beside him, and then puts the fist at the other's elbow forming an L with them. Did you want to shoot that beam? Well have a taste of a powerful laser right back at you!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:16): Bemlar barely manages to get a bit of its beam out before it's overpowered by Zero's!
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:25): The Wide Zero Shot cuts into the monster one last time, and it explodes in a burst of pure power and also some blood.
Ginkan SK (02:09:33): # Kakizaki
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:39): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:43): You two keep supporting each other.
griefgathering (02:09:52): Chika: "Nice, that's one more down!"
sketchbookfiend (02:09:56): Zero: "SHA! Take that!" Of course that laser causes his color timer to start blinking red. "Ah, just in time it looks like."
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:14): At the same time Willis does something ridiculous and way too powerful for himself, bisecting a battleship over a kilometer long in a single attack.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:28): Or rather, a half of it. It was seperated into two, remember? The front "Lander" part still remains.
Aero (02:11:14): Willis: "That's one half down..."
Ginkan SK (02:11:18): *Raquel did say she owed Kakizaki one and she aimt to lend him a hand she fputs her hands together and her machine almost looks like it's bowing it's hhead before she sned several birsts of clearly supernatural flames into the Zentradi's ranks hopefully to buy Kahizaki some breathing room+
griefgathering (02:11:56): Chika: (to Willis) "Too bad you didn't have a theme to go along with that, huh?"
frifreeman (02:12:38): Kakizaki:"Whoa, I haven't shown all of my cool moves yet!" Kakizaki pushes forward, he barrel rolls left and right, and keep firing, hoping that he could pierce the swarm of enemy and get behind them, because it's too late to turn back now!+
Aero (02:12:54): Willis: "That's how it goes, it'd be against the rules of nature for music to play in space."
cubey@aol.pl (02:13:44): The supernatural fire (in space? So much for laws of physics!) consumes shot missiles and Regults alike. Kakizaki takes care of the rest, shooting at them before their shots could destroy his VF. You still take several hits though.
sketchbookfiend (02:13:49): Zero: "What, does sound not travel through space in this universe?"
Wyverncakes (02:14:05): "This Universe?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:12): Raquel and Garrod, go.
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:14): Also Flit.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:14:18): Misa: "...It does in yours?"
Wyverncakes (02:14:20): (Enemy lineup?)
sketchbookfiend (02:14:30): Zero: "How else would I be talking to you"
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:32): I'm not telling you to act, just pointing something out:
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:36): Enemy list (Kaiser Belial): Legionoid Alpha x3 (2 damaged), Legionoid Beta x3
Enemy list (Zentradi): Glaug x3, Regult x3, Regult Heavy Missile x4, Queadol-Magdomilla x1 (lander remaining), Zentradi on foot x1
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:53): During this turnover, Desil decided to sneak back towards Macross. His AGE is very close to docking already.
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:58): Or rather Flit's AGE that he stole.
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:11): But there is something wrong...
Wyverncakes (02:15:24): (Ah)
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:26): If you look back at the asteroid he left, with the crashed spaceship.
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:36): You can find one of AGE's beam daggers there.
Wyverncakes (02:15:42): Flit: "... What?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:45): It's stuck in the pod-less Zentradi's chest.
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:55): Who lies on the space rock, devoid of life, killed in cold blood.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:16:13): Misa: "Finally he comes back..."
sketchbookfiend (02:16:26): Zero: "Woah...that kid is ruthless."
Wyverncakes (02:16:45): Flit: "... At least he knows what to do against enemies like that."
Overman Zappa (02:16:49): *Hoping to still use the shock of what Zero did, Garrod returns shooting the rest of the Glaug's down, systematically eliminating one enemy category at a time with the beam machine gun. Much easier than fighting kaiju
Wyverncakes (02:17:15): "And... when he gets back to the Macross, there's a device he'll have on him or in the AGE-1!"
Wyverncakes (02:17:38): "It's small, white, and has a stylized 'A' on it like the AGE-1 has on its chest!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:39): The remaining Zentradi forces are in disarray, and their numbers are pathetically small.
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:53): Garrod manages to shoot them down one by one, without any problem.
Wyverncakes (02:17:58): "Please make sure you take it from him!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:18): (Non-battleship Zentradi forces eliminated, only the Lander and Kaiser Belial forces remain)
Wyverncakes (02:18:19): And now time to head back and reclaim his rightful place as the AGE-1's pilot!
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:05): By the time Flit reaches Gundam AGE, its cockpit is open and Desil is nowhere to be found!
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:24): It looks like the kid made it with your AGE Device, having taken it as a toy for him to use as he pleases.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:27): Oh wait, no. My bad.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:30): It's in the cockpit.
griefgathering (02:20:39): (Trololol)
Wyverncakes (02:20:57): Flit just... breathes a sigh of relief.
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:00): Raquel can move still.
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:09): Also Flit and Gloval and crew.
Wyverncakes (02:21:32): Doing a quick check of the systems to make sure everything's in working order, Flit then primes himself for battle once more and launches!
Wyverncakes (02:23:04): Figuring the Macross should be able to handle the Lander no problems, Flit changes targets to go after Kaiser Belial's forces instead!
Peter Kampschroeder (02:23:15): Misa: "Rose team, Tulip Team, Hunter team, move out!"
Wyverncakes (02:23:34): * "Much better...!" He lines up a shot against one of the Legenoid Alphas before letting the DODS Rifle do its thing, drill beam shooting out at it!+
Peter Kampschroeder (02:23:38): *And with that, the Lander finds itself under attack from over a dozen Valkyries.+
Ginkan SK (02:24:35): Raquel "we're not out of the woods just yet... here."
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:51): The Legionoid raises its own drill, as if trying to meet the beam... but it's only a physical weapon, and the DODS shot quickly penetrates it. Another explosion.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:35): The Lander is not meant as a main combat unit. It transports troops, which you have taken care of already.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:51): Barrage of missiles one after another, followed by gunpod fire perforates it into a useless piece of junk.
Ginkan SK (02:29:05): *Raquel is going to take her chance now she's helped out thin the remaining Zentradi she turns to face one of the remaining Legionoid Alpha's. She picks them because htey have less in the way of ranged attacks so she has a better chance to close. Which she does attempt to she'll atemp to strt beaing on one and striking for what would be it's hip joints, she's not holding back and may verrly well breach the armor with how her strikes are coming.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:37): The Legionoid brings down the drill on Raquel's Amazon as it sees the much smaller custom Huckebein approaching!
Aero (02:30:49): #Raquel?
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:54): Its legs start to crack, but it might as well perforate you before you're done.
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:57): React
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:58): Also approved.
Aero (02:33:02): * Somehow the Strahlend is suddenly heading straight towards the Legionoid, getting momentum from...something. Once he closes the distance he brings the large hazy sword right down on the head of the Legionoid. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:08): No need for react because the Legionoid is suddenly stabbed from a sword out of nowhere.
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:12): Talk about kill stealing.
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:43): The enemies are almost done with!
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:44): Oh wait.
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:48): New signature incoming.
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:51): And it's a BIG one.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:00): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/thuverl-salan.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:09): A Zentradi heavy cruiser, over 2 kilometers in length.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:20): It dwarfs even the Macross in its size.
sketchbookfiend (02:39:36): Zero: "....Ah, that looks bad."
Wyverncakes (02:39:36): Flit: "It's so..."
Wyverncakes (02:39:37): Yeah...
Wyverncakes (02:39:41): He's struck dumb by this.
Overman Zappa (02:39:49): Garrod: "Seriously? does this end? They just keep coming in waves..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:52): It wastes no time charging up and shooting beam cannons!
Aero (02:39:52): Willis: He's pretty late."
Peter Kampschroeder (02:40:01): Kim: "Sir! It's...It's..." Gloval: "...I can see it. Misa, what's the status on the main cannon!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:04): Not hitting anyone in particular, just the asteroids around it. To clear the area.
Ginkan SK (02:40:24): *Raquel pauses for a moment looks up and just says "It seems I owe you one... and yes they seem to be like a swam of army ants. They don't stop coming!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:25): Including the asteroid on which the ship is crashed. It starts to fall apart!
griefgathering (02:40:30): Chika: "Aaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:37): Nao: "We can't die here! Can't you fire that huge beam again?!"
sketchbookfiend (02:40:37): Zero: "NAO!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:55): Nao: "The ship isn't hit, don't worry about me!"
sketchbookfiend (02:41:28): Zero: "No but it's gonna start crumbling!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:34): Unfortunately the Legionoids are space worthy as well.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:41:36): Claudia: "That barrage we took earlier damaged some of the conduits...Junctions 3, 14, and 7 blew out when we fired the main gun. It'll be days before we can fix them!"
sketchbookfiend (02:42:03): Zero: "Tsk, so that's the drawback to it."
Wyverncakes (02:42:07): Flit: "Professor Shirakawa... isn't there naything you can do?!?"
Wyverncakes (02:42:17): Sorry Shu.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:20): Nao: "It'll be good as long as it won't fire again. Can you destroy this battleship somehow? You need to do it!"
Wyverncakes (02:42:31): You go around pulling miracles like making a Beam Spraygun not shit and people are going to expect that from you.
griefgathering (02:42:41): Shu just smirks at this.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:42:43): Misa: "...I think I have an idea."
sketchbookfiend (02:42:50): Zero: "...I got one trick left up my sleeve but there's no way I can do it without draining the rest of my energy."
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:50): As it cools down in preparation for another barrage, the Thuverl-Salan class releases more battle pods.
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:00): New enemies: Glaug x120, Gnerl x not even counting
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:07): Gnerl http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/gnerl.jpg
frifreeman (02:45:06): Kakizaki: "Oh man, can't we take a break first?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:13): You'll need to fight through this swarm if you want to survive!
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:20): EVERYONE
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:23): Feel free to act now.
sketchbookfiend (02:45:23): Zero: "Did you guys piss of an entire planet's military!?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:31): Remember that Legionoids are still around, and they are space-worthy too!
Peter Kampschroeder (02:45:39): Claudia: "Several planets, we think."
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:46): Objective: Clear the way to the capital ship for the Macross.
sketchbookfiend (02:45:52): Zero: "Ugh- fine then!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:46:03): Misa: "....If we can focus the pinpoint barrier on one spot, and move the destroids to the Daedalus...Everyone! I need you to clear a path for the macross!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:46:18): Gloval: "Well, you heard her. Attack!"
Wyverncakes (02:46:24): Flit: "Understood!"
Wyverncakes (02:46:32): So long as there's a plan, Flit's not going to give up.
Overman Zappa (02:46:35): Garrod: "Sure thing! We'll definitely try!"
Wyverncakes (02:46:35): Not against filthy aliens.
griefgathering (02:46:38): Chika: "Kukuku...it's about time to show these guys the power of Granzon the Cheater! Even if it is nerfed right now..."
griefgathering (02:47:04): Shu: "Chika...where did you even learn to speak like that?"
Overman Zappa (02:47:13): *Garrod continues to fire, both vulcans and the beam gun at anything that gets within a cone of his vision, so long as it's not an ally he won't shoot at it... on purpose!+
Wyverncakes (02:47:35): * The AGE-1 charges into the fray, shield raised for protection as the machine hauls out the Beam Rolling Lance. Ridiculous as it may be, Zentradi ships aren't really the best at close-range combat and Flit's gonna just go whacking the weeds that are the countless mooks.+
sketchbookfiend (02:49:54): *Zero rushes to get a better angle where he can catch the Legionoids in the blast too. Both sluggers fly off his head and connect to his color timer forming a crest shaped canon- "THEN I'LL PUT EVERYTHING INTO THIS, ZERO TWIN SHOT!" a massive blue ray of energy fires forth from his chest, much more massive than the "L-beam" from earlier- aiming to engulf the Legionoids and the Zentradi fleet to clear a way+
Aero (02:49:59): * Strahlend's sword is turned back to it's regular form before it's winded back. Several small thrusters appear on the blade before it is sent spinning into the gigantic crowd of mooks. +
griefgathering (02:50:14): Well, Chika's comment aside, the Granzon raises its hands up to chest level, and begins to charge more ominous looking black energy into its chest cavity. Said cavity opens up, and the entire machine is suddenly covered by a solid black dome, which is a bit difficult to see in space...
Ginkan SK (02:50:27): *Raquel is saved from being drilled possibly and she looks up. "I owe you one." She's paid by Hayao already but it may be a bit more, before she can handle this. "We still have some of those hulking things to worry about" To Zero "Iif we did?! We have no idea what we did!" Raquel is going to this time cup her hands once more and the energy dragons return as they attemp to seek out one of the remaining Leginoids. These hulking guys need to go down, she trustsw in her friends to take on the Zentradi+
frifreeman (02:50:50): Kakizaki: "Alright, don't worry everyone, I'm still here. We're gonna win this." Kakizaki follows into the fray, emptying his missile toward the swarm of enemies, before transforming his fighter into humanoid mode and just start spraying wildly with his gunpod..+
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:59): The Legionoids suddenly stop moving when hit by Zero's finishing hit. One by one, they go BOOM.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:17): Raquel's blasts helped as well!
griefgathering (02:53:03): Shu: "Worm Smasher...!" *The black layer gives way though, and turns into a multitude of wormholes instead. The Granzon then rapidly fires golden beams into those wormholes, which end up at random points surrounding the enemy swarm's location. The result is a giant beam net that somehow doesn't hit anyone attacking at melee range. Thanks, ridiculously OP supercomputer!+
griefgathering (02:53:16): (For cut-in, see the end of the game Opening)
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:00): With Garrod and Kakizaki doing covering fire, Flit and Willis manage to cut into the swarm of attacking enemies in melee!
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:38): Any counterattacks are preemptively stopped by large scale bombardment from the Granzon and Zero's energy wave of NOPE YOU DIE.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:50): There is an opening!
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:07): It will close soon as the giants notice a hole in their ranks, but Gloval and the Macross can use it!
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:10): Captain, go!
Peter Kampschroeder (02:55:24): *Gloval: "There!" The macross charges forward towards the massive alien vessel, slowly drawing back its right ‘arm’. It looks like it’s going to punch the battleship.

It is punching the battleship.
Misa: “3…2…1…DAEDALUS ATTACK!”
The barrier system focuses on the prow of the Daedalus, slamming it straight into the alien heavy cruiser.&
Peter Kampschroeder (02:55:37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAUwdwGOh7E
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:58): The turret controllers probably see what is happening, because Thuverl-Salan tries to counter with missiles!
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:26): But before they can really fire, Macross is already too close! The pinpoint barrier punch penetrates the ship and breaks into its insides!
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:30): Continue.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:59:02): *The Daedalus is a landing craft, meant to transport soldiers. Its prow opens up, and any Zentreadi inside the ship will see what it is full of: Destroids. Destroids loaded down with more missiles than anyone has any right to have at their disposal. They fire.+
griefgathering (02:59:04): Chika: "It totally punched the battleship."
Aero (02:59:25): Willis: "With an arm that's a battleship."
griefgathering (02:59:56): Chika: "Battleshipception!"
sketchbookfiend (03:00:08): Zero: "What the hell does that mean?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:16): The Thuverl-Salan just... bloats up. Like it was not a battleship but a stretchy balloon suddenly full of exploding balls.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:23): Focus on the exploding.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:48): The whole thing is obliterated from the inside. Pieces of Zentradi technology fly off in all directions.
Aero (03:01:21): Willis: "The Macross is really something else..."
Overman Zappa (03:01:26): Garrod: "They just... punched it with part of the ship! That's way too awesome!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:29): Conveniently, the explosion wipes out remaining Zentradi forces. Well, most of them. Some survive and retreat.
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:42): Nao: "That. Was. Awesome."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:02:07): Kim: "Yeah." Vanessa: "...Wow, Lt. Hayase."
Wyverncakes (03:02:32): Flit: "We got it...!"
sketchbookfiend (03:02:38): Zero: "Yeah it was!" Although Zero is noticing his color timer is now getting dangerously close to its limit.
Wyverncakes (03:02:39): Yeah, a smile's growing on his face now.
sketchbookfiend (03:03:33): Zero: "Whoops, time to land myself." Gonna light beam somewhere he can transform back into a dude without suffocating in space.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:05): Nao: "Will you pick us up now? Thanks for the rescue!"
sketchbookfiend (03:05:02): Zero back in the ship probably: "Yeah not sure what we would have done if you didn't show. Would hate to deal with those ships and Belial's forces if you hadn't appeared."
Ginkan SK (03:05:25): Raquel "I totally aopprove of this that was a stunt I didn't think a ship could do." You have no idea what you have inspired Misa, My whatever powers that oversee the universe have mercy...upon everyone. Raquel has ideas.
sketchbookfiend (03:05:27): Zero over the comm now looks like some teenage ragamuffin of a young man. Where'd the giant silver guy go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:11): The question, whether the giants were lured here by Macross or the rescue signal, remains unanswered.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:15): One thing for sure though.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:22): If Macross remains here, more of them will come.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:28): Time to continue the voyage.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:31): Towards Earth!
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:33): Mission complete.
Overman Zappa (03:07:07): Garrod: "So about that cake Raquel?"
Wyverncakes (03:07:10): And Flit's learned be much more careful with the AGE Device!
Ginkan SK (03:09:35): Raquel "I intend to deliver what sort do you want?"
