(7:29:27 PM):     So then...
(7:30:03 PM):     A short time ago word reached the Unity Group of another unidentified alien vessel making its way Earthside!
(7:30:30 PM):     Well... unidentified for some.
wyverncakes 7:31 pm
(7:31:03 PM):     For those familiar with Hetepheres and the Gebians, its design and source was very much recognizeable, and thus the Unity Group's spun into action!
(7:32:13 PM):     Currently you're all on a transport on its way to a costal city on the edge of California, those of you not stationed at Alhambra present thanks to that ever-wonderful TSEN teleporter.
VJockey 7:33 pm
(7:33:54 PM):     [Admittedly because of the Jaeger and such, Raleigh and Yancy were already strapped into Gipsy Danger - with it hanging off the bottom of the transport.]
wyverncakes 7:33 pm
(7:33:54 PM):     Samuel Dirchs is also helping bring everyone up to speed for all of this as well.
tengusaur 7:33 pm
(7:33:59 PM):     Hetepheres: "The AEP made their move early... I expected at least a few weeks more before they would start attacking."
wyverncakes 7:34 pm
(7:34:07 PM):     Dirchs: "The saving grace is... it's only one ship."
tengusaur 7:34 pm
(7:34:17 PM):     Hetepheres: "This means their leader is an impatient one."
VJockey 7:34 pm
(7:34:25 PM):     "Maybe they're just sending someone to poke around."
wyverncakes 7:34 pm
(7:34:32 PM):     "And it's not the same kind of size as those of the giants that attacked the Macross previously."
(7:34:44 PM):     He nods.  "Both of those are possibilities, yeah."
Aero 7:34 pm
(7:34:47 PM):     Willis: "Well that's good."
Ginkan SK has entered the room. 7:35 pm
wyverncakes 7:35 pm
(7:35:20 PM):     "But don't get careless either.  They're here because they think they can win at least one battle, I'd rather they not win any."
tengusaur 7:35 pm
(7:35:21 PM):     Hetepheres: "And it is always one ship. It is, however, filled to the brim with mecha."
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:35 pm
(7:35:29 PM):     Kanae: "So, are we going to kill them. or....?"
Aero 7:35 pm
(7:35:39 PM):     Willis: "It's not covered in gun batteries or giants though, right?"
tengusaur 7:35 pm
(7:35:58 PM):     Hetepheres: "No, the actual ship will not take part in the battle. It only serves as a transport."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:36 pm
(7:36:28 PM):     "Betcha they'll claim to come in peace, then blow us out of the sky ten seconds later!" Yancy replies to Raleigh. "Seriously. I bet twenty bucks."
tengusaur 7:36 pm
(7:36:36 PM):     Hetepheres: "If the Anti-Earthling Party won't retreat, attack them until they do. They should fall back after their leader is dead."
wyverncakes 7:36 pm
(7:36:38 PM):     Dirchs: "If they're willing to leave peacefully, that'll be the end of it at least for now.  Otherwise though... that's what you're all here for."
Aero 7:36 pm
(7:36:48 PM):     Willis: "Straight to the point there."
tengusaur 7:37 pm
(7:37:15 PM):     Hetepheres: "This is a war. Do not pull your punches."
Aero 7:37 pm
(7:37:24 PM):     Willis sounds a bit worried about...something.
wyverncakes 7:37 pm
(7:37:25 PM):     City now coming into view... there's one curious sight you can notice off in the distance whenever the clouds part in just the right way.
Aero 7:37 pm
(7:37:48 PM):     Willis: "I hope they're not hanging around here...."
VJockey 7:37 pm
(7:37:53 PM):     "No bet Yancy. Its kind of one sided and I like my money where it is."
wyverncakes 7:38 pm
(7:38:00 PM):     It's small but only on account of being rather far away...
(7:38:39 PM):     ... And suddenly, as if it were a fountain, streams of blackness begin to "pour" out of it, heading for the city below.
(7:38:49 PM):     Dirchs: "Wait... zoom in-"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:38 pm
(7:38:55 PM):     Yancy pouts a little. "Chicken."
wyverncakes 7:38 pm
(7:38:59 PM):     "... Great... juuuust great!"
Ishikar3 7:39 pm
(7:39:03 PM):     Yuuya: "
Atrament Corel 7:39 pm
(7:39:17 PM):     Seta silently takes Heph's advice here, though she's not exactly happy about it.
Ishikar3 7:39 pm
(7:39:25 PM):     "Well looks like the Beta aren't the only horde army we're fighting."
VJockey 7:39 pm
(7:39:38 PM):     "Say again Control? What just happened?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:39 pm
(7:39:46 PM):     Kanae: "oh....This is going to be so fun! Just like my twentieth birthday!"
Aero 7:40 pm
(7:40:02 PM):     Willis: "What did you do on your twentieth birthday?"
wyverncakes 7:40 pm
(7:40:14 PM):     Dirchs: "They're launching machines on the city!  Everyone, looks like you're going to have to hit the ground running and shooting!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:40 pm
(7:40:15 PM):     Kanae: "Uh, oh, uh, nothing"
Ishikar3 7:40 pm
(7:40:23 PM):     Yuuya: "If this is just like it I'm not sure we'd like to know."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:40 pm
(7:40:41 PM):     "I'm seconding Raleigh." Yancy says. "What's our enemy composition?"
wyverncakes 7:40 pm
(7:40:51 PM):     "Everyone, you're cleared to launch!  Remember, we're intending on driving them back; if diplomacy fails, remember what General Hetepheres's said!"
ginkansk 7:40 pm
(7:40:57 PM):     Russel Gespoenst is in it's type C config and he pauses for a moment. "We should look into thermite loads for split missiles at this rate." When in doubt? Fire the source and soultion to most of life's problems as someone once said. Well at least with hordes of hostile aliens.
tengusaur 7:41 pm
(7:41:30 PM):     Hetepheres: "I do not see any Guardians. Good, that means the only one armed with a Noble Barrier will be their leader."
Atrament Corel 7:41 pm
(7:41:36 PM):     Seta: "U...understood!"
tengusaur 7:41 pm
(7:41:47 PM):     Hetepheres: "Get ready. Diplomacy WILL most likely fail."
wyverncakes 7:41 pm
(7:41:52 PM):     And indeed, whatever those "guardians" are, you don't see any of them as you launch and head into the city!
Aero 7:41 pm
(7:41:53 PM):     Willis: "It's the same one you have, right Heph?"
Ishikar3 7:42 pm
(7:42:02 PM):     Yuuya: "Argos flight is willing to take point to cover the heavy bodies.  What say we pave a path for the rangers before the bug squishing starts in earnest?"
wyverncakes 7:42 pm
(7:42:14 PM):     Rather, you see tons and tons of scaled-up versions of the Gebians that some of you have encountered!
(7:42:30 PM):     So essentially just big beetles
tengusaur 7:42 pm
(7:42:44 PM):     (but more mechanical and armored)
VJockey 7:42 pm
(7:42:50 PM):     [In the case of the Jaeger, its more like the transport cables unhooked and dropped it somewhere it wouldn't do too much damage and it had to jog to catch up with everyone else.]
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:42 pm
(7:42:52 PM):     Kanae: "Oh, they're so cute!"
tengusaur 7:43 pm
(7:43:02 PM):     Hetepheres: "No. Scaraber is a completely unique machine. And also..." She enters her mecha, making it start moving. "one of Geb's most powerful ones."
VJockey 7:43 pm
(7:43:16 PM):     "I'd feel kind of bad if we have to smash these guys Yancy."
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:43 pm
(7:43:17 PM):     She flits about, floating low to the ground as she keeps pace with the rest of the team.
wyverncakes 7:43 pm
(7:43:43 PM):     (Enemy lineup: Levies x 70)
Atrament Corel 7:43 pm
(7:43:52 PM):     Seta drops from the transport on foot, somehow landing softly behind the other combatants' machines.
wyverncakes 7:44 pm
(7:44:12 PM):     (Initiative: Hetepheres, Jaeger team, Kanae, Yui, Russel, Walter, Seta, Willis)
Atrament Corel 7:44 pm
(7:44:16 PM):     *other UG combatants'
tengusaur 7:45 pm
(7:45:05 PM):     Hetepheres approaches the incoming enemy horde, meeting it head-on. "The invaders of Anti-Earthling Party. Where is your leader?"
wyverncakes 7:45 pm
(7:45:08 PM):     And as you arrive in the city to act in its defense... the Levies... suddenly halt for just a moment.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:45 pm
(7:45:12 PM):     "They're planning to blow up the West Coast if we don't bare our throats like meek little cattle, Raleigh." Yancy replies firmly, putting his back into moving Gipsy Danger. "Screw 'em."
VJockey 7:45 pm
(7:45:49 PM):     "Well bad feeling's gone now."
(7:45:56 PM):     "Lets kick them to the curb."
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:46 pm
(7:46:39 PM):     Kanae: "Yes, take-us-to-your-leader" she says, in a robotic voice.
wyverncakes 7:47 pm
(7:47:08 PM):     ???: "So... a handful rise to oppose us... whether this is due to bravery or stupidity I do not know, but so be it!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:47 pm
(7:47:11 PM):     "The moment they step over the line." Yancy agrees.
tengusaur 7:47 pm
(7:47:55 PM):     Hetepheres: "That voice. As I suspected, exactly the one reckless enough to lead a charge early... General Onuris."
wyverncakes 7:47 pm
(7:47:55 PM):     At that, the Levies begin to part, and a single stag-like machine descends down to take center stage in front of its army.
(7:48:31 PM):     "And General Hetepheres, foolishly fighting for the misconceived sake of these puny Earthlings!"
(7:48:37 PM):     He says those last two words without a shred of irony.
VJockey 7:48 pm
(7:48:49 PM):     "Hey! Who are you calling Puny?"
wyverncakes 7:48 pm
(7:48:50 PM):     ^stag beetle incidentally, not a stag
Aero 7:48 pm
(7:48:59 PM):     Willis: "Us I think!"
wyverncakes 7:49 pm
(7:49:51 PM):     "Correct!"
tengusaur 7:49 pm
(7:49:59 PM):     Hetepheres: "I am not going to repeat myself, Onuris. Turn back and return to Geb. Or else you have brought all these fools together with you to their deaths."
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:50 pm
(7:50:10 PM):     Kanae: "Well, I don't know about you, but that's a welcome change for me."
ginkansk 7:50 pm
(7:50:17 PM):     Russel's machine hits the field.  "Think what you will, we don't stand alone. If you seek war? You will find ... sadly humanity is far too good at it. Turn back now and do not seek conflict with us..."
wyverncakes 7:51 pm
(7:51:39 PM):     Onuris: "Sueing for peace in spite of your experience on the battlefield... and challenging me in that incomplete machine of yours!"
(7:51:51 PM):     The Gebian just begins to laugh in amusement.
(7:51:58 PM):     Onuris: "No, general..."
Atrament Corel 7:52 pm
(7:52:13 PM):     Seta: "...Incomplete...?"
wyverncakes 7:52 pm
(7:52:24 PM):     "The way to ensure no-one dies today is for you and these Earthlings to surrender this city!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:52 pm
(7:52:36 PM):     Kanae giggles.
VJockey 7:52 pm
(7:52:53 PM):     "He really doesn't know us very well does he?"
tengusaur 7:53 pm
(7:53:04 PM):     Hetepheres: "Scaraber in this state is more than enough to defeat you. Especially since I did not come alone. Do you think I am the only champion fighting for Earth's cause?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:53 pm
(7:53:05 PM):     "God Damn!" Yancy exclaims at the general's ultimatum. "You're quite the arrogant little dung beetle, aren't you!"
wyverncakes 7:53 pm
(7:53:32 PM):     He continues to laugh, seemingly caught up in it... right before his machine suddenly brandishes a massive sickle, slashing it out and unleashing a wave of energy at the Scaraber and Seta!
(7:53:35 PM):     So much for diplomacy!
Aero 7:53 pm
(7:53:45 PM):     #"
wyverncakes 7:53 pm
(7:53:47 PM):     (React: Seta and Heph.  Heph can take her action afterwards)
(7:53:56 PM):     (Approved)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:54 pm
(7:54:01 PM):     "See the coastline behind you?" Yancy says, raising his side of Gipsy Danger and pointing with his finger. "That's where our enemies are buried! Get ready to join them!"
wyverncakes 7:54 pm
(7:54:22 PM):     (Jaeger team and Kanae can also act)
Aero 7:54 pm
(7:54:34 PM):     * Strahlend practically leaps out from where it stands and gets in the way of that wave of energy. +
tengusaur 7:55 pm
(7:55:17 PM):     Hetepheres: "You might have brought a barely-trained rabble with you, Onuris, but I have not forgotten the way we are supposed to fight - with professional, powerful warriors. Watch and see..."
Atrament Corel 7:55 pm
(7:55:21 PM):     Seta: "Craft Ignite - Partial!" *Time for more disembodied arm action. Seta's taking no risks here and having it covered with a layer of light to act as a shield!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:43 PM):     *"Let's show him how the Rangers fight, Raleigh!" Yancy exclaims, cocking his left arm. "Charging Plasma Caster!" Outside, Gipsy Danger's fingers unfold into conducting nodes…&
arachnion01@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:52 PM):     *Well, what's a girl to do? If you're Kanae, this means it's time to start shooting. She starts laying into the evil gebians with shots from that bow-shield of hers.+
wyverncakes 7:55 pm
(7:55:57 PM):     Onuris: "This 'rabble' as you call it is worth ten times its number in Earhtling defenders, general, as you'll soon see!"
tengusaur 7:56 pm
(7:56:22 PM):     * Defended by Willis' large machine, Hetepheres is free to raise her staff and fire a focused laser, leading its beam over Onuris' Lucanidas and the surrounding Levies! +
wyverncakes 7:56 pm
(7:56:24 PM):     Onuris's machine (the Lucanidas) raises up its golden Noble Barrier as well, proised for battle!
tengusaur 7:56 pm
(7:56:36 PM):     And Hetepheres also has a golden barrier.
VJockey 7:56 pm
(7:56:44 PM):     "Charging... chargiiing..."
tengusaur 7:56 pm
(7:56:56 PM):     (if anyone wonders about the scale - Levies are 10 meters long, Lucanidas, being humanoid, is 20 meters tall)
wyverncakes 7:57 pm
(7:57:14 PM):     (Combining Heph's react with her action this turn?)
tengusaur 7:57 pm
(7:57:23 PM):     (that's just the action)
Aero 7:57 pm
(7:57:25 PM):     Willis: "You're giving us too much credit, they're probably worth 20 of us."
wyverncakes 7:57 pm
(7:57:27 PM):     (Alright)
tengusaur 7:58 pm
(7:58:55 PM):     (by which I mean I'm not writing the react itself, so I guess it counts as combining them in this way)
wyverncakes 7:59 pm
(7:59:21 PM):     [Willis, Heph, and Seta] Well, the Strehland's there to take the brunt of that energy blast... one tearing a massive nasty gash into the machine already and sending it hurtling down into the city below.  Bouncing and rolling on impact, the machine just incurs quite a bit of damage right off the bat... but it does protect Heph and Seta from harm!  And in return, Heph's beam arcs out into the Gebian forces, Onuris moving to evade while several of the Levies are less fortunate!
(7:59:26 PM):     (It's cool)
tengusaur 7:59 pm
(7:59:57 PM):     Hetepheres: "Those of you who never encountered a Noble Barrier before, listen. When Lucanidas is protected by a golden shield, physical attacks are not effective. When the shield is silver, energy attacks are not effective."
(8:00:10 PM):     Hetepheres: "Pay attention to its color."
wyverncakes 8:00 pm
(8:00:27 PM):     Onuris however is unphased by Heph's counterattack, instead just laughing triumphantly at the damage to the Strehland!  "Perhaps your friend was right... that I HAVE overestimated you!"
VJockey 8:00 pm
(8:00:32 PM):     "Got it!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:01 pm
(8:01:15 PM):     "We've got physical and energy to spare!" Yancy shouts.
VJockey 8:01 pm
(8:01:25 PM):     *To which Raleigh takes aim at the Lucanidas and lets loose a massive Plasma Blast at it! When in doubt go for the head. Or in this case the giant dung beetle leader.+
tengusaur 8:01 pm
(8:01:30 PM):     Hetepheres: "Please. He serves quite well as a living shield."
wyverncakes 8:01 pm
(8:01:54 PM):     [Kanae] Your shots begin to pelt into the ranks, pummeling one Levy to destruction while damaging another, but another three come swooping in towards you anyways, beam cannons emerging from their undersides and strafing the ground around you!
(8:01:58 PM):     (React: Kanae)
Aero 8:01 pm
(8:01:58 PM):     Willis: "That's some appreciation..."
ginkansk 8:02 pm
(8:02:01 PM):     Rusel "Understood thanks for the warning." Clever if they hadn't had someone who knew what that barrier did? It would be worse than it already is.
tengusaur 8:02 pm
(8:02:31 PM):     Hetepheres: "Living is the key word."
(8:02:59 PM):     Hetepheres: "You shall not die here. The only blood spilled will belong to the AEP."
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:03 pm
(8:03:20 PM):     *Zip zip zip, Kanae starts doing her laser-dodging thing.+
Aero 8:03 pm
(8:03:29 PM):     Once he gets his footing back Willis just lets out a small chuckle. "Understood General. "
wyverncakes 8:04 pm
(8:04:43 PM):     [Becket team] The Plasma Blast surges towards the Lucanidas, but the machine responds by swinging its energized sickle into the shot and... after a moment's struggle, cleaves the blast in two!  "I see the Earthlings have a 'giant' of their own... however...!"  Off in a flash, the Lucanidas charges at Gipsy Danger to stab its blade into Gipsy's exposed Plasma Cannon!
(8:04:50 PM):     (React: Beckets.  Either one'll do)
(8:05:06 PM):     (Yuuya, Russel)
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:09 PM):     [Kanae] You take evasive action, but the Levies are still remarkably fast machines, their comperable size to your own Tsurugi letting their attacks be more accurate than they mgiht be otherwise.  You escape, but several grazing blows are already starting to put strain on your armor!
Ishikar3 8:07 pm
(8:07:32 PM):     *Recognizing that the gold barrier will make most of their attacks useless the Argos flight quickly settles in to crowd control.  Yuuya and Tarisa begin engaging in close combat with blades and assault cannons versus the smaller units while VG and Stella take up position with a good view of the battle and begin concentrating fire on the larger groups+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:08 pm
(8:08:46 PM):     *"Compared to the Kaiju–" Yancy exclaims, rearing back Gispy Danger's other arm and clenching it into a fist, "you're nothing but small-fry! Elbowww….!" &
VJockey 8:09 pm
(8:09:59 PM):     "ROCKET!" *And here's the swing! Roaring with enough power to send a rocket out of the atmosphere!+
ginkansk 8:10 pm
(8:10:59 PM):     *Russel knows when it comes to swarm tactics it's wise to use area saturation attacks lucky for him? the Type C carries such a payload. While he can he fires a salvo of matirx split missiles at the lesser enemy rnaks while others are handling the big dog. The Levies are his concern for now+
wyverncakes 8:11 pm
(8:11:36 PM):     [Argos team] The Gebians are cut from a different cloth from the BETA, thats for sure.  And going melee when they have a size advantage might not be the best course of action as you begin to find out, the Levies using their arms to parry your combat blades!  The team's halves manage to snag three Levies... but before then Yuuya and Tarisa are going to find themselves in trouble as the Levies begin turning those beam cannons on the two TSFs, opening fire from point-blank!
(8:11:41 PM):     (React: Yuuya)
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:12 pm
(8:12:47 PM):     Kanae: "Yuuya, nooo! Remember what your master taught you!"
wyverncakes 8:14 pm
(8:14:02 PM):     [Gipsy team] Gipsy Danger's might, gigantic fist rockets out at the charging Gebian, but all Onuris opts to do is raise up his shield and pour on more speed!  The not-quite Rocket Punch meets with the Noble Barrier... and there's a sickening sound of metal creaking and breaking as you all see Gipsy's entire fist begin to buckle and break, fragments of it raining down from above with the Lucinidas comparatively only knocked back a dozen meters or so!
Ishikar3 8:14 pm
(8:14:16 PM):     *Seeing the beams begin to charge Yuuya and Tarisa kick into a slide boost and begin weaving between the levies to catch their allies in the crossfire and keep close enough for their melee attacks.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:14 pm
(8:14:41 PM):     Kanae: "You're the best, around! Nothing's going to ever keep you down!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:15 pm
(8:15:06 PM):     "Gah!" Yancy exclaims, cursing at the feedback. "Well, we're down to one Plasmacaster, Raleigh!"
wyverncakes 8:15 pm
(8:15:06 PM):     Onuris: "Ha... you forget the words of the general already, Earthlings!"
VJockey 8:15 pm
(8:15:22 PM):     "Argh! Damn!"
wyverncakes 8:15 pm
(8:15:29 PM):     "Like striking against a brick wall, mistaking size and raw strength as the solution for all problems!"
VJockey 8:15 pm
(8:15:32 PM):     [He knew the barrier'd be tough but not THAT tough!"
(8:15:34 PM):     ]
ginkansk 8:15 pm
(8:15:49 PM):     Russel "This is worse than the DC's lion formations..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:16 pm
(8:16:11 PM):     "Says the the dung beetle general trying to conquer the Earth by force!" Yancy retorts.
mad4space@hotmail.com has left the room. 8:16 pm
Atrament Corel 8:16 pm
(8:16:19 PM):     Seta: "They are very different from anything I have seen before, as well..."
wyverncakes 8:16 pm
(8:16:42 PM):     [Russel] It's a good strategy, Russel, your missiles raining down on one of the groups of Levies and beginning to do serious damage to their numbers!  But... the group is quick to respond, many of them charging straight at you, fully intent on smashing you apart!
(8:16:44 PM):     (React: Russel)
tengusaur 8:16 pm
(8:16:46 PM):     Hetepheres: "Don't underestimate Lucanidas, even if its pilot is an arrogant buffoon. Its raw toughness is much higher than Scaraber's."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:16 pm
(8:16:48 PM):     Then a thought occurs to him. "Raleigh." He mutters, below the volume of his microphone range. "I got an idea: listen…"
(8:16:53 PM):     *whisperwhisper*
VJockey 8:16 pm
(8:16:58 PM):     "..."
Atrament Corel 8:17 pm
(8:17:00 PM):     #Russel?
VJockey 8:17 pm
(8:17:01 PM):     [Nod]
Aero 8:17 pm
(8:17:03 PM):     Willis: "Let him get inflated."
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:04 PM):     (Approved)
Aero 8:17 pm
(8:17:11 PM):     Willis: "It'll work to our advantage"
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:13 PM):     Onuris: "You admit you're outmatched, general."
(8:17:23 PM):     "Now if only you could bring yourself to swallow your foolish pride and surrender!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:17 pm
(8:17:43 PM):     Kanae continues laughing.
tengusaur 8:17 pm
(8:17:43 PM):     Hetepheres: "Outmatched? I used the word 'raw' for a reason."
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:45 PM):     [Yuuya/Tarisa] And as said before, the Levies lack Noble Barriers of their own!  Your maneuvering tricks two of the attackers into gunning down their own friends (though it costs Tarisa's machine one arm at the elbow), and in the moment of confusion you keep up the aggression, double-teaming another!
(8:19:07 PM):     (Walt, Seta, Willis)
Atrament Corel 8:19 pm
(8:19:21 PM):     "Merlot!" *The giant hand on Seta's right forms a tri-barreled golden handgun, which proceeds to fire homing laser-like beams rapidly from its barrels. The shots will curve around Russel's machine from behind to strike the charging Levies!+
tengusaur 8:19 pm
(8:19:56 PM):     Hetepheres: "While physically powerful, your machine lacks skill and precision, General Onuris. Just like its owner."
Fri Freeman 8:20 pm

Without warning, she leaves the safety of Stella's TSF and rushes at the golden dragon on foot, but this time without those limbs protecting her.

wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:39 PM):     (Walt, Seta, and Mr. Surprisingly alive can also act if they wish)

(10:58:16 PM):     *Suddenly, that Chimera finds itself being held back. By a boat-sized hand clamping itself over his head and yanking. "Hey, Bagman! FINISH HIM, DUH-DUH!" Raleigh says lightly.
(10:58:20 PM):     +
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:59 PM):     [Raleigh] Well, the Chimera's about thirty meters, plenty smaller than Gipsy but not an ant compared to it.  And the Chimera's still thrashing around in response, spikes shooting out from its body and running through Gipsy's hand again.  Whoops, scratch one hand.  AGAIN.  Still, it's bought Russel a few more seconds!
Atrament Corel 11:00 pm
(11:00:21 PM):     "The sooner we end this, the better...!" *Seta decides to attack the last Chimera by launching a kick...from a distance. The claws leave hard-light trails in the air that are sent toward the target, like large blades!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:00 pm
(11:00:26 PM):     *"Gah!" Yancy exclaims. "Dammit, not again!"
Ishikar3 11:01 pm
(11:01:46 PM):     Yuuya: "Do you guys hate your mechanics?  Why not just smash it with your hand rather than grab it?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:02 pm
(11:02:53 PM):     "I didn't know that it could do that…spike thing!!" Raleigh wails.
ginkansk 11:02 pm
(11:02:54 PM):     *Russle now moves quickly as he can he's going to stop shooting as h's trying to not get caught by the melee attack+
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:32 PM):     [Seta] Compared to Ilnaha, the Chimera is much, much more fragile.  And Seta's diving kick has a fairly large hitbox too, as it were.  One might even compare it to a bull in a china shop by the way it's pulverized.
(11:03:34 PM):     ONE LEFT!
Ishikar3 11:03 pm
(11:03:37 PM):     Yuuya: "Well if you kill it then it can't hurt you, that's pretty obvious."
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:41 PM):     (The one Gipsy was holding onto)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:06 pm
(11:06:34 PM):     "I'll…we'll be sure to remember that." Yancy replies to Yuuya.
Fri Freeman 11:06 pm
(11:06:41 PM):     Walt: "Well, when all you have is a hammer..." Walt lead his team to fire at the last remaining chimera+
Aero 11:06 pm
(11:06:47 PM):     * That sword is sent flying into the grappled Chimera, aiming at the same spot it impaled the earlier Chimera through . +
Fri Freeman 11:07 pm
(11:07:05 PM):     Walt" "It'll make you want another tool..."
wyverncakes 11:08 pm
(11:08:23 PM):     [Willis's ghost and Walt] Well, sustained beam spraygun fire is sustained.  And Willis's sword similarly seems to trigger some kind of shutdown on the Chimera's repair mechanism when it impales the monstrosity, letting the Genoaces score a kill a kill with the power of TEAMWORK.
wyverncakes 11:08 pm
(11:08:36 PM):     And after that...
(11:08:37 PM):     Nothing.
(11:08:46 PM):     No more crazy entities showing up out of nowhere or alien invaders.
Aero 11:08 pm
(11:08:59 PM):     UNTIL
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:01 PM):     Onuris is no doubt long-gong, licking his wounds.
Aero 11:09 pm
(11:09:04 PM):     SOMETHING DOES EMERGE!
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:06 PM):     (Shut up, you)
(11:09:08 PM):     MISSION
Aero 11:09 pm
(11:09:08 PM):     It's just Strahlend.
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:10 PM):     ACCOMPLISHED
Atrament Corel 11:09 pm
(11:09:40 PM):     Seta's mecha, or Craft, dissipates into thin air right after this.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:09 pm
(11:09:42 PM):     "Hey Seta!" Yancy says wearily, already anticipating the chewing out from General Pentecost. "Good job!"
tengusaur 11:09 pm
(11:09:56 PM):     Hetepheres: "I will have some questions to that man after this is over... And not just him."
Ishikar3 11:10 pm
(11:10:04 PM):     Stella: "Seta, are you alright?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:10 pm
(11:10:29 PM):     Kanae: "Ah, I had to show off a bit more than I wanted..."
tengusaur 11:10 pm
(11:10:31 PM):     Hetepheres: "For the time being... Well done, everyone. This battle went better than expected."
Atrament Corel 11:10 pm
(11:10:32 PM):     Seta: "Thank you...and, I am fine."
Atrament Corel 11:11 pm
(11:11:08 PM):     Seta: "I could not have managed that without your help..."
tengusaur has left the room. 11:11 pm

(11:12:04 PM):     +Russel lowers his machine's arms. "This whas a heck of a mess, and don't worry about it."
Ishikar3 11:12 pm
(11:12:14 PM):     Stella: "I wouldn't say that, you did well enough on your own Seta.  I told you you had it in you."
Aero 11:12 pm
(11:12:23 PM):     Willis isn't saying anything, in fact Strahlend is trying to sneak away back to Alhambra while everyone was celebrating.
Ishikar3 11:12 pm
(11:12:46 PM):     Yuuya: "Willis I think you have some explaining to do."
Atrament Corel 11:13 pm
(11:13:04 PM):     Don't worry Willis, you'll get what's coming soon.
