cubey@aol.pl (02:32:48): At the moment, the lot of you are on board Freeden.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:07): Which is, in case anyone forgot, a landship belonging to the Vulture captain Jamil Neate, a friend of Unity Group.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:38): Why are you on his ride? Because someone was abducted, and that someone is Tiffa, a Newtype girl whom the captain treasures. And he's not the only one, too. Hint hint, Garrod.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:53): Anyway at the moment you are giving chase to the kidnappers - who went south, towards South America!
Ishikar3 (02:34:24): Yuuya: "Has there been any updated intel on who was involved with that smash and grab?"
Overman Zappa (02:34:28): Garrod is 100% focused on getting Tiffa back and little more, so it's totally possible he's flying off into a tarp!
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:19): Jamil: "There was only two of them. All I know is that they used mobile suits. And not just any mobile suits either - these were Gundams."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:55): The captain looks serious, his gaze impossible to discern because sunglasses (not at night).
sketchbookfiend (02:36:14): Zero: "Aren't those Gundam things supposed to be rare, based on what I heard?"
Overman Zappa (02:37:09): Garrod: "Just how many Gundams are there?"
Ishikar3 (02:37:17): Tarisa: Any idea who built it? Zero's kinda got a point there. We've got 2 or 3 of them and now there popping up outside our team. If someone's giving them out let's make it a point to get him in our camp
Meraxa (02:37:21): Ken: Rare depends on the size of the potential pool. Considering we've only seen a handful in all truth? Not that many.
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:30): Jamil: "Few, after the war..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:00): Sara: "Captain! Our targets have stopped moving!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:05): Jamil: "Where are they?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:09): Sara: "... Peru."
Ginkan SK (02:38:45): Raquel seems to be relaxing at the moment and just in a tank top and shorts for the moment. She seems to be in a very good mood from the looks of thing. She's also been trying rto befeidn Tifa as Garrod and her are adorable together. "I guess we're going to have to get to it right?"
Meraxa (02:39:28): Ken: They covered quite a fair distance if they managed Peru.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:55): Jamil: "Right. Don't forget that these guys took Tiffa by force. They won't hesitate to kill you if you go at them half-heartedly."
Overman Zappa (02:40:27): Garrod: "They're not getting half-anything out of me..." Garrod, so srs man.
Ishikar3 (02:40:47): Tarisa: Hah, that'll be the day, they think they're tough hitting a landship by surprise, just wait til we get a chance to return the favor. They won't know what hit them.
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:53): A small timeskip later:
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:16): Freeden travelled mostly through a wasteland. South America's west coast was hit badly by Kaiju attacks.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:35): But you are really close now, and you see your target.
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:56): Some kind of scientific facility, built on and around old ruins left by the Inca.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:14): This disregard for historical sites means someone is trying to hide something here.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:43): Well, in case it wasn't obvious enough that you are not welcome, the facility deploys defenders who open fire on Freeden!
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:14): Jamil: "Unity Group pilots, deploy! All guns, provide cover!"
Ishikar3 (02:43:26): VG: Oh, don't they know that the ladies hate an impatient host? Such a shame.
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:42): Olba: "Look, Brother. They are here."
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:04): Shagia: "Ohh? Somehow I am not surprised. Our captain found impromptu allies."
Meraxa (02:44:18): Ken: Alright then. ScarleTiger, ready to burn! *He hops into the robot currently in car form, before racing off the Freeden and into the fray!*
Overman Zappa (02:44:37): Garrod: "Here they come! But I'm not going to let them stop me this easily. I'm coming Tiffa!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:47): Alternative Company CEO: "What are the two of you talking about?! I hired you to take all interlopers down, not chat in the middle of a firefight!"
Ishikar3 (02:45:03): Yuuya: So hot headed, well let's see how it goes this time, Argos flight launch, let's get to the skies and give them some cover from above.
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:42): Enemy roster: Gundam Virsago (Shagia Frost), Gundam Ashtaron (Olba Frost), Daughtress x12, Daughtress Weapon x6
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:55): Gundam Virsago: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/nrx-0013.jpg
Gundam Ashtaron: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/nrx-0015.jpg
Daughtress: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/dt-6800a-alt.jpg
Daughtress Weapon: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/dt-6800w-alt.jpg
Ginkan SK (02:46:22): Raquel is suited up again in her normal form fitting suit and it's not long before the Amazong Gundam is alreayd moving out with theothers. She's a bit shocked to see what's coming there's several gundams and some old Daughtress. STill their use indicated whomever was behind this? Had some money to burn as they were not in Genoaces.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:43): Initiative: Garrod, Ken, Raquel, Yuuya, Zero, Shu
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:46): Garrod, Ken, Raquel, go
sketchbookfiend (02:47:35): Zero hitches a ride on the shoulder of one of his allies robots as they launch before leaping off and transforming into his giant self once they're in the open air. "Hoo, this looks like a fun group."
Overman Zappa (02:47:52): *The GX is still fairly underequipped, but swords and a gun are good enough! Right away Garrod leads his charge to rescue his lady with a rain of lasers from the rifle+
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:05): What are you targetting, Garrod?
Overman Zappa (02:48:08): (At the Daughtress eapons)
Meraxa (02:48:32): Ken: Stand up! *And once he's in range, the car shifts into its taller, humanoid form, and bares its claws as it charges to slash the big red gundam! (Virsago)!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:03): Two Daughtresses just up and explode, too focused on firing to dodge. But unfortunately for Garrod... the rest are also focused on firing! You find yourself the target of a lot of machine gun rounds.
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:04): React.
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:35): Shagia: "You are a fierce one, aren't you?"
Overman Zappa (02:50:25): *Garrod puts the width and structure of the gun to use, holding it up like a shield in front of him while pressing his charge past the front lines of the Daughtress. Now if only he were badass enough to make them shoot one another...+
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:33): Shagia: "This lack of foresight will be your doom!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:40): Olba: "Brother, allow me!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:49): Ashtaron suddenly transforms into mobile armor mode:
Meraxa (02:50:54): Ken: Stuff it, ya kidnapping creeps!
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:55): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/nrx-0015-ma.jpg
sketchbookfiend (02:51:10): Zero: "That's a neat trick."
sketchbookfiend (02:51:22): Zero: "Do all robots do that or-"
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:24): Its long claws reach out to try to block the ScarleTiger. At the same time, Virsago draws a beam saber and slashes!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:27): React, Ken.
Overman Zappa (02:51:29): Garrod: "It... transformed!?
Ishikar3 (02:51:54): #Ken
Ginkan SK (02:52:03): *Raquel is quick to go and she's heading right for several of the Daughtress she's moving rapidluy and not playing around here at all. She's now laping for them and moving to get up close and personal forcing them into a melee where they'd not be as easily able to shoot without risking hitting htier allies. She's rapidly puching and kicking more concerned with quick take downs than anything else. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:08): Approved, Yuuya.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:29): Well, what do you know Garrod, you make quick headway and the shield holds. Those machineguns really aren't too good against aerial targets.
Meraxa (02:52:40): Ken: Lets see... *Time to test his new suit's performance. Locking with the Ashtaron, Ken uses the grip of the bout to try and swing the ScarleTiger up away from Virsago's beam saber - a perfect chance to kick the Ashtaron's new underbelly too!+
Ishikar3 (02:53:33): *Yuuya was already making a line to intercept one of the gundams before Ken was made their target. Adjusting his course he brings his sword down hard against the Virsago's elbow joint to ruin the blow and attempt to limit the unit's future movements.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:45): Two Daughtresses are eliminated quickly, the rest stops firing so as not to hit each other.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:05): Instead, one of them draws a beam saber and lunges at Amazon from the front - while another does the same from behind, because forget fair play! React, Raquel.
sketchbookfiend (02:54:20): #Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:22): Approved.
sketchbookfiend (02:55:13): *Zero puts himself between Amazon and the one coming from behind and pulls off his eye sluggers to clash against the beam saber+
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:50): Those beam sabers are not too impressive. The clash is easily won by the 50 meter tall Ultraman.
Ginkan SK (02:55:57): *Raquel is about to become a sandwhich and not the /fun/ kind either as Zero droppes in to lend a hand she moves to deal with the other attemping to deflec the other machine by forming aburst of KI that would let her parry the blade long enough to force it away. "Thanks" +
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:35): Both Daughtresses are knocked away, the one that Zero faced also has its arm damaged to the point of near uselessness.
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:03): As for the fight vs the Frosts - Shagia sees Yuuya's attack coming and uses his Gundam's superior maneuverability to take to the skies, away from the TSF.
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:09): At least he interrupted his beam attack as well.
sketchbookfiend (02:57:16): Zero: "Now I almost want to get a bit small just to give them a fair chance...heh."
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:17): Ken manages to kick Ashtaron away.
Overman Zappa (02:57:43): Spot check, neither enemy Gundam is holding Tiffa, at the moment, right? Do we has a hostage situation
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:49): Olba: "They are quite capable."
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:03): No, neither of the Gundams are holding Tiffa. She must be inside one of the buildings.
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:12): Shagia: "Indeed. I'd say it's about time."
Ishikar3 (02:58:14): Yuuya: Well aren't they agile, hey argos flight why don't we show them what we're capable of and really put them to the test.
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:23): CEO: "Yes. Fire!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:26): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:45): Out of one of the buildings, a massive beam shoots out. Its target - the one who charges forward the most relentlessly, Garrod and his Gundam X!
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:46): React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:19): The point of origin of the beam - a large Mobile Armor, hidden until now.
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:21): Grandeene: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/ma-06.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:41): Yuuya and Zero, move while Garrod reacts.
Overman Zappa (02:59:56): *His gun isn't going to defend THAT, so hopefully he can veer off to the left in time and avoid it! "What the hell?!"
Overman Zappa (03:00:42): +
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:47): CEO: "Ha ha ha! How do you like that? You will not take my precious Newtype away!"
Meraxa (03:00:53): Ken: They're VERY well resourced for a bunch of bandits...
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:29): Garrod manages to evade somehow, but the right side of Gundam X takes some damage, and so does his shield. The Buster Rifle is... well, busted. It needs repairs before you can fire it again!
sketchbookfiend (03:01:52): Zero: "Let's fix that then. I got a nice trick of my own." *Zero moves his arms as he turns and directs a green narrow beam from the jewel on his head towards the Mobile Armor+
Ishikar3 (03:02:28): *Seeing the large blast targeting his ally and the pair of gundams take flight Yuuya begins to change his focus and turn towards the mobile armor. Opening with 120mm HESH rounds to try to disable the main cannon Yuuya speaks to the rest of the argos flight "Stella try to find some weak point to disable that monster. VG, Tarisa keep running interferance on those gundams."
Ishikar3 (03:02:31): +
Overman Zappa (03:02:40): Garrod: "Damn! This thing really needs more equipment.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:12): The Mobile Armor is located at a very long distance from your group. The 120mm rounds and Zero's beam fly off in its direction - and hit!
Overman Zappa (03:04:49): Garrod: "If I could get to Tiffa... maybe we can use that again..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:52): The unit shakes but you don't see any damage. It is really tough, and quickly counters by firing off its secondary cannons. Located in its legs, they send green beams cutting through the night's air.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:55): (By the way it is night now)
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:59): Zero and Yuuya, react.
Ginkan SK (03:05:11): #Zero
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:12): Garrod, Ken, Raquel, go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:14): Approved
griefgathering (03:05:19): #Yuuya
Ginkan SK (03:05:21): (work it into my pose?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:22): Approved
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:24): (Sure)
Ginkan SK (03:06:07): (Which brother shot at Zero?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:19): (None, the Grandeene did)
Overman Zappa (03:07:26): *Garrod draws the beam saber from it's sheath on the back. "I've gotta find Tiffa..." Garrod closes in on the MA, but rather than carelessly attack it, he tries to get underneath it! and cut at it's underbelly+
Ishikar3 (03:07:27): *Seeing the beams open up towards him Yuuya quickly turns his thrusters to interpose some of the outbuildings between himself and the Grandeene. Taking care to use his anti-BETA training Yuuya begins slaloming between the buildings to approach the mobile armor.+
sketchbookfiend (03:07:29): *Zero being a bit shocked he didn't even scratch the thing with that shot misses his chance to dodge and tries to throw up a barrier to block the green beams instead.+
griefgathering (03:07:50): *It doesn't take very long at all for...something, to form between the MA's beams and their target. And given that it's night time, whatever it is is very difficult to see. The unknown object is in fact a wormhole that is also linked to two other wormholes near the attacker's location. All in all it's just a flashy return-to-sender move.+
Ginkan SK (03:07:59): *Raque,l has been keeping tabs on Zero whom has lent her quite a good hand she looks as they go for the mobile armour and she now launches a burst of KI at the hostile maching trying to force off it's aim or distract the pilots. IT's a quick action as she's going to keep trying to tear into the the Daughtresses some more.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:50): One of the beams is intercepted by the strange black hole and shoots back at Grandeene - though the Mobile Armor seems mostly immune to its own fire. Yuuya evades the rest, easily.
Meraxa (03:08:54): Ken: I'm sorry, but I don't think we're done dancing yet. *Ken draws ScarleTiger's whip into hand, and then the mechanoid leaps into the air, lashing out to try and ensnare the Virsago.&
griefgathering (03:09:38): Chika: "Oh, so it has one of those things! And these entrances are gonna be the norm, huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:49): Olba: "Did you forget about us already?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:33): As Garrod is trying to draw closer to Grandeene, Ashtaron attacks him from behind! The crab-like mobile armor form is trying to slam into him, its nose also housing a hidden beam cannon that fires time and time again. React!
Ishikar3 (03:10:54): #Garrod
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:08): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:45): With the aid of Raquel, Zero manages to defend against the beams. In fact your defense might have held even without her assistance... or would it? No use guessing now.
Overman Zappa (03:12:04): *"Damn you! Get out of my way!* The GX turns over and opens fire with the machine canons in the head.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:12): The Daughtresses start to scatter, another three of them down. Probably because Freeden is circling around, its guns firing wildly if inaccurately.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:32): But the Daughtress Weapon mobile suits aim their shoulder cannons and fire at Amazon in unison! React!
Ishikar3 (03:13:06): Tarisa: "Not quite there you sneaky bastard!" *Tarisa comes in from above opening fire with her 36mm cannon before landing on the mobile armor as a considerable speed attempting to drive one of her TSF's anti-armor daggers into the beam cannon to disable the weapon.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:30): "What are you trying to do?" Shagia makes his mobile suit move around the whip's path, trying to evade it. He's on the defensive - continue, Ken.
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:29): Olba: "Tch! Only Brother may ride Ashtaron like this!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:05): He tries to shake Tarisa's TSF off, and barely avoids a crash against the building as his path is thrown off, the Gundam shaking under machine cannon fire.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:17): It is too tough to take any serious damage, but he seems to be losing grasp on the situation.
Overman Zappa (03:16:09): Garrod:" This would be easier on you if you tell us where Tiffa is..." But as if he would... He's still sounding threatening though
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:11): Shu, Yuuya and Zero - act now.
griefgathering (03:17:08): (Enemy list please?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:16): Enemy roster: Gundam Virsago (Shagia Frost), Gundam Ashtaron (Olba Frost) (light damage), Daughtress x5, Daughtress Weapon x6, Grandeene (lightly damaged)
Meraxa (03:17:21): Ken: This! Scarlet Whip! *Suddenly, the whip lights up in flame, and a powerful flick shifts its direction back the other way. If he can catch the Virsago like this, lets just say things will be heating up on whatever he manages to snare+
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:03): Shagia: "Impressive!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:10): Shagia: "... Well, I'd say it's about to end this!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:27): The Gundam's arms deploy long claws!
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:29): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/x/nrx-0013-megasonicgun.jpg
Overman Zappa (03:18:50): Garrod: "Damn, that one transforms too! But this is FAR from over!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:58): One of them entangles itself with the Scarlet Whip, while the other aims at ScarleTiger - and shoots powerful beam cannons at point blank!
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:00): React, Ken!
Ginkan SK (03:19:07): # Ken
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:10): Approved
griefgathering (03:19:56): Shu: "Hm." *And after the Granzon completes its descent, it takes aim at the Daughtress units and fires, with both its head and chest beam cannons to get their attention.+
Ginkan SK (03:19:58): Raquel has an attchement to Ken even if she doesn't admit to it really. She now moves in and is breaking off her assault from her now fallen foe and is going for the machine going for Ken. "Not so fast pretty boy!"+
griefgathering (03:20:00): *&
Ishikar3 (03:20:04): *Tarisa keeps a solid grasp on the dagger and what purchase she had with it and changes her 120mm load from HESH to Sabot which she attempts to use to open better purchase on the mobile armor's armor to get at something more critical to damage. Yuuya keeps his path towards the larger mobile armor and finally emerging near melee range takes a swing with his sword at the joints of the larger unit to attempt to disable one of the legs.+
Meraxa (03:20:10): Ken: Tch. *He's still falling from when he first jumped, so not a lot of options to dodge... the best he can hope is that if he pulls on the arm he's caught, he can throw off the aim for the other!+
sketchbookfiend (03:21:02): *Zero seeing that it didn't work decides he needs to get a bit more into the thick of things and rushes towards Mobile Armor, a big target he may be but he's also fast for his size as he books it, firing sparse green lasers as he advances as well+
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:59): Unfortunately, Raquel cannot do much as the Daughtress Cannon shots suppress her into a defensive position. At best, you can serve as a distraction.
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:32): Ken somehow manages to twist the arm away from a direct his, but the beam cannon burns a moderately sized hole in ScarleTiger's side anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:23): The Daughtresses are few in numbers and only three remain, the rest having fallen. But the Weapons change their aim for the Granzon, and fire! React/continue.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:12): As the Argos Flight and Zero advance on Grandeene, the Mobile Armor charges its main cannon again.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:33): Jamil: "DODGE!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:42): A huge photon particle blast threatens to overwhelm you.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:46): Zero, Yuuya, react.
sketchbookfiend (03:26:35): *Zero leaps into the air to avoid the beam, flying above it's path, he's not going to stop now.+
griefgathering (03:27:32): *The Granzon sinks into the ground in response. Well, not really into the ground, but into another wormhole. It re-appears through another one closer to them and is suddenly wielding a giant sword, which it uses to slash and impale one of the units when it sees the opportunity to do so, and then flipping around and using that impaled unit as a club of sorts to smash into the others!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:15): Okay. The mobile suit pilots really, really did not see this coming.
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:32): Their numbers are reduced in half before they even realize what just happened.
Overman Zappa (03:34:08): Garrod: "Hey! Why don't you do that and get us inside the facility! We need to get Tiffa out of there!" Garrod skips past the Grandeene to keep looking around for a sign
Ishikar3 (03:34:41): *Yuuya is so close that he's rather put off by the suddeness of the beam attack. He turns the thrusters up and makes to dive underneath the Grandeene to the relative safety of it's underbelly while he continues to pour 120mm fire into the firing lens in an attempt to at least partially disipate the force of the attack.+
griefgathering (03:35:46): Chika: "We would if we could, guy. It's not as easy as it looks! Really."
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:48): Yuuya literally feels the heat in his cockpit. The upper parts of the TSF are rather... melted at the moment. The heavy cannon fires rounds time and time again, but they seem to do very little against the mobile armor's thick hide.
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:20): The blast was powerful enough that even its vincinity was enough to send Zero tumbling backwards - if not hurt him, fortunately. Just what kind of firepower does this thing have?
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:25): Also...
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:27): Olba: "Brother!"
sketchbookfiend (03:37:38): Zero: "KUH!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:46): Shagia: "Hmm." Virsago lands on Ashtaron - after it was almost obliterated in the blast as well.
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:58): Shagia: "Somehow I don't think that was a coincidence."
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:07): CEO: "I don't know what you're talking about! Ha ha ha."
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:15): He does not sound apologetic at all.
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:29): Jamil: "Damn! This thing is too tough, we cannot get to Tiffa... Tiffa?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:36): Jamil: "Yes. Yes, I can hear you!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:26): Jamil: "Garrod, this is important."
Overman Zappa (03:40:16): Garrod: "What? What is it?" Can he hear Tiffa?
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:25): Jamil: "Tiffa is talking through me. She decided to trust you... for some reason. At the same time, you can break her free and destroy the Mobile Armor before it can fire again."
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:34): "Using the Satellite Cannon!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:42): The Moon shines brightly in the night sky.
Meraxa (03:42:00): Ken: ...Not that monstrosity gun again!
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:07): Jamil: "She will guide you. I will help you aim - you pull the trigger. There is no other choice."
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:17): Garrod, Ken, Raquel, go!
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:26): (If you want to fire Satellite Cannon, it will require charging)
Overman Zappa (03:44:03): Garrod: "Right! I don't quite understand but... I really think that canon is going to help." Give him a momentl. "Guys... I need your help. Just... cover me for a while!"
Overman Zappa (03:44:46): *Garrod finds himself a nice, stable spot he cna land the gundam and stand, letting the canon shift over the shoulder, the charging wings opening up as he takes apropriate aim.
Meraxa (03:45:12): Ken: But if there's no other option... Garrod! Go! *Ken tries to leap at the Ashtaron from beneath it, attempting to stab the ScarleTiger's claws into the frame+
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:34): Jamil: "Steady now..." Garrod starts receiving targetting data. And not only that - it is almost like if you felt the presence of someone else, near you.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:42): But before that presence can solidify...
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:55): CEO: "What is it doing? ... No, don't let it! Everyone, stop that Gundam! Now!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:13): Remaining Daughtresses and Daughtess Weapons open fire on Gundam X, firing machineguns, bazookas and shoulder cannons!
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:23): Garrod, react - while being unable to move!
sketchbookfiend (03:46:29): #Garrod
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:32): Approved
Ishikar3 (03:46:41): #Garrod
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:47): Also approved.
sketchbookfiend (03:47:44): *Zero moves back up and rushes to throw up another barrier as he gets in front of the Gundam. Hopefully it can withstand the force of the blasts.+
Overman Zappa (03:48:04): Garrod looks over his shoulder, you know, after getting that 'feeling
Ishikar3 (03:48:35): *Not being able to stand up to the firepower of the combined units VG and Stella instead focus on intercepting what projectiles they can with cannon fire while taking out targets of opportunity along the way+
Ginkan SK (03:48:43): Raquel finds no shame in being a distraction after all it helps right? Then comes garrod with the Sat canon. She's moaving to try and cover Garrod while he gets ready she knows the amout of fire that's coming his way is going to be messy so the Daughtresses or Daughtresses Weapons would find a freaking pair of energy dragons heading for them.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:32): As Ken starts to dig into Ashtaron, suddenly he finds Virsago's eyes staring from above.
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:08): Shagia: "I have no love for this facility or its people. But if you seek death, I am happy to oblige."
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:30): Virsago stabs downwards with a beam saber, its arms back into folded ones again.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:13): At the same time Ashtaron makes difficult maneuvers to throw ScarleTiger off.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:16): Ken, react to both of those.
griefgathering (03:51:20): #Ken
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:24): Approved.
Meraxa (03:52:13): Ken: Sorry, but- *And Ken lets himself slip from the Ashtaron - enough to let one brother stab the other! He'll be clinging to the other end of the mobile armor, thank you very much* Its hard to kill a shadow+
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:14): Raquel quickly reduces the number of Daughtresses. The defenses hold - Satellite Cannon continues charging!
griefgathering (03:53:27): *Virsago will suddenly meet a giant sword. Not wielded by the Granzon itself, but thrown in its direction instead! Hopefully that will at least make Shagia back off, or take the Virsago's arm in the process!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:07): With Granzon's blade thrown, the only way for Frosts to escape unscathed is to flee in several directions at once!
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:33): Ashtaron flies off in one direction, Virsago in another, its beam saber in yet another, and lastly there is ScarleTiger falling down to the ground and landing with a thud (but no damage).
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:37): Garrod!
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:41): You feel that presence again.
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:49): Tiffa: "I will give you... my power..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:57): Satellite cannon... charged!
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:03): Jamil's aiming is immaculate!
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:11): Only one thing left to do.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:13): Pull the trigger!
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:16): Garrod, go!
Overman Zappa (03:55:36): *Garrod: "Tiffa..." And Garrod does that one thing. He pulls the damn trigger. "FIRING!" SKADOOOOOOSH!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:49): CEO: "Whaaaaaaa..." Static
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:40): The mobile armor, as well as parts of the facility, are engulfed by the Satellite Cannon's huge discharge.
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:55): When it dissipates, the Grandeene is gone. And the building has a hole in it.
sketchbookfiend (03:57:13): Zero: "Geez! What the heck was that!?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:14): Jamil: "Tiffa is safe. You should be able to retrieve her if you go through there..." He sounds relieved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:38): Olba: "It looks like our 'benefactor' is dead, Brother."
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:44): Shagia: "Indeed. Time for us to depart."
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:55): Shagia: "They should be making a move about right now, anyway."
Overman Zappa (03:57:57): Garod makes mad haste for Tiffa, even leaving the canon mounted on the shoulder as he takes off for her.
Meraxa (03:58:08): Ken: The weapon that decided a war... *Left little to the imagination on how his ancestors had started becoming... redundant*
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:17): The Frosts try to flee.
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:30): Why is that?
Ginkan SK (03:58:33): Raquel watches the power of the weapon and shivers a bit. "Looks like the pretty boy's are starting to run..."
sketchbookfiend (03:58:37): Zero: "Oy, you're just leaving?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:40): Because the remaining Daughtresses are suddenly wiped out!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:59): They have been shot at by another powerful beam cannon!
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:09): This one shoots from a distant ruins of a pyramid!
griefgathering (03:59:20): Shu: "This is not over yet."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:24): ???: "Ha ha ha! The natives were useful in buying us time, at least."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:45): ???#2: "Yesss. You foresaw their betrayal right in time, Megatron!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:02): Megatron: "Which is why I acted first, Starscream. Trust me, I can see betrayal coming a lightyear away."
Meraxa (04:00:10): Ken: ...The decepticons!
sketchbookfiend (04:00:23): Zero: "The WHATicons?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:49): Sara: "Freeden, we're taking fire from... fighter planes?!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:56): Decepticons emerge from the ruins!
VJockey (04:01:11): "Optimus Prime to Unity Group! Come in Unity Group?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:14): NEW enemy list: Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Seekers x15

Meraxa (04:01:22): Ken: ...Giant alien robots that want to steal earth's resources?
sketchbookfiend (04:01:49): Zero: "Sounds like the kid of guys I can tussle with."
Meraxa (04:01:52): Ken: And we read you Prime!
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:02): Shu, Yuuya, Zero, go now!
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:09): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:25): Tiffa: "Garrod." She looks up from her, now partially open, holding cell.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:30): "I knew you would come."
VJockey (04:02:48): "The Decepticons managed to install a weapon on one of the ruins. We're reading an abnormal amount of energy powering it... somehow there was a core tap in the ruins and the Decepticons are making full use of it!"
Meraxa (04:03:31): Ken: ...Ah.
sketchbookfiend (04:03:42): *Zero in his confidence SHRINKS to a size where he can go one on one fisticuffs with the new robot evenies as he flies towards one of the Seekers to smash his knee into it's abdomen+
sketchbookfiend (04:03:57): ((*enemies even))
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:58): Jamil: "Raise an anti-air barrage! We won't let aliens destroy the Freeden!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:42): Well Zero, that is one less Seeker. But watch out, the Decepticon second in command is flanking you.
VJockey (04:05:02): "We're moving in to support. I brought an expert with me to keep any potential damage that could happen from the cannon's destruction to a minimum!"
Overman Zappa (04:05:21): Garrod extends his hand out to Tiffa to take her into the Gundam.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:24): Starscream: "Do you really think I'll let meddlers get in the way of my plans?" He fires an energy cannon. React!
Meraxa (04:05:24): Ken: ...Expert?
VJockey (04:05:31): Wheeljack: "Ken! Yuuya! How're you doing guys?"
Ishikar3 (04:05:33): *Seeing the shifting battle situation the argos flight dives for the deck to keep cover betwen themselves and the beam from the pyramid while opening up fire on the Seekers as they approach.+
VJockey (04:05:38): [...oh god.]
Meraxa (04:05:45): Ken, for once in his life, briefly pauses in fear.
Ishikar3 (04:06:23): Yuuya: *muttering curses* A little melted but still good, thrusters are down by about 15% but the beam coat and plating held together well enough.
griefgathering (04:06:36): Shu: *"Gran Beam..." The Granzon begins with a round of suppressive fire from its head-mounted energy cannon. A volley of golden beams are sent in the Seekers' general direction.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:42): Tiffa gets up on Gundam's hand.
sketchbookfiend (04:06:42): *The Ultraman turns to see Starscream yelling and dodges away from the beam of the canon while flicking his hands to have his sluggers fly off and slash at Starscream+
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:53): Tiffa: "We need to go back..." She looks back at Freeden.
Overman Zappa (04:07:28): Garrod: "Definitely! I can't let you stay out here. Jamil is probably worried too." Garrod makes a bee-line for the Freeden with Tiffa in tow.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:31): Several of the Seekers are destroyed.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:34): However!
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:50): Soundwave: "Recalibrating. Preparations for firing... complete."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:33): You hear the Decepticon's robotic voice... and the cannon hidden in the ruins fires a powerful laser at Yuuya and Shu!
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:50): It's a pulse laser, firing in bursts. React!
Ginkan SK (04:09:29): Raquel pauses as mpre transformers enter tjhe fight and she moving back as she sees Starscream, it's annoyance at first sight That voice is driving her crazy.
VJockey (04:09:51): #Yuuya & Shu!
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:55): Starscream: "No!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:57): Approved!
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:23): Starscream's shot was inaccurate, but he quickly transforms into a fighter jet and flies off himself, before the sluggers could connect.
sketchbookfiend (04:10:55): Zero: "Tsk! What an annoying guy."
Ishikar3 (04:10:58): *At least glad that these "lasers" are more like beam weaponry and not true lasers Yuuya and the rest of Argos flight scatter and begin to weave through cover for protection and to break the targeting lock or whatever means the decepticons are using to aim their attacks.+
griefgathering (04:11:42): *Shu doesn't have time to redirect these back to the shooter, but he deploys a wormhole before him nonetheless. If they actually go in, they'll be sent at the mooks of the enemy group instead.+
VJockey (04:12:21): *Rushing in headlong, Optimus, Wheeljack and Ratchet move in to engage! Optimus letting loose shots from his Ion blaster, while Wheeljack's shoulder launcher let loose several gyro-scrambler pods - that if they should hit would cause some serious aiming problems. What was Ratchet doing you ask? Scrambling towards Yuuya and Shu with a gun in each hand, sending shot after shot upward towards the gun!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:34): Because of the interference, the shots fail to hit anyone. Ratchet's blasts take off bits of the old building, but don't damage the actual cannon.
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:52): Shockwave: "Readjusting aim, taking new arrivals into consideration. Autobots and unknowns."
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:04): Megatron: "So you arrived, Prime! ... Unknowns?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:55): Several Seekers suddenly explode, courtesy of a sneak attack of units that suddenly cloak in!
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:01): Very... animal looking units.

cubey@aol.pl (04:16:51): ???: "Everyone here is dead already? How am I supposed to find any information? I knew it was a fool's errand to begin with!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:41): ???: "Well. I'll just have to beat it out of you, then. Pathetic scum."
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:08): Marcos: "I am Marcos, of the Shura. That's all you have to know."
Ginkan SK (04:18:11): (one sec IRL)
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:35): New enemies (Shura): Berith (Marcos), Berith x3, Flauros x2, Grimoire x2, Sitri x2
griefgathering (04:18:54): Chika: "They really don't stop spawning!"
Meraxa (04:19:00): Ken: ...The shura? Why does that...
sketchbookfiend (04:19:16): Zero: "Well now it's a Party."
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:37): Megatron: "These are not native creatures! How interesting... their backstabbing habit could prove useful if controlled properly!"
VJockey (04:19:37): Optimus: "A battle on two fronts... This will be problematic."
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:05): Sara: "Captain! The Freeden has sustained heavy damage!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:15): Jamil: "Tch! We have to retreat! I'm sorry..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:20): You can see that the landship is smoking.
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:34): Optimus, Ken, Raquel, go now.
sketchbookfiend (04:21:26): Zero: "Yo, probably a good idea for you to get out of here. We can handle this"
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:54): Jamil: "I trust this is the case."
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:04): Freeden starts to retreat, Gundam X and Tiffa already safely on its board.
Meraxa (04:22:14): Ken: Prime, you know your guys, we'll go after the new targets. *And the ScarleTiger leaps - literally - into action, spinning several times before it lands in the midst of the newly emerged units. The whip lashes out for the neck of one unit, which Ken intends to use like a flail!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:22:35): Marcos: "You let the weak and the wounded just go away while the strong protect their backs? Do you really have no warrior's pride?"
VJockey (04:23:17): "Wrong."
VJockey (04:23:34): "It is the duty of the strong to protect those who cannot protect themselves."
VJockey (04:23:53): "If we use our might simply for our own gain, then it is worth nothing."
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:13): The Berith (I assume that's what Ken is attacking?) lashes out with its tongue - it entangles with the whip, the two getting in a contest of strength! React, Ken.
sketchbookfiend (04:24:15): Zero: "What he said! My pride as an UltraWarrior comes from protecting the weak, don't look down on that kind of sense, bastard!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:30): Marcos: "Naive!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:35): "Naive, naive, naive!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:53): "The strong shall always control the weak! Make up pretty words around it, but that's what it boils down to. That is the Shura way!"
Ginkan SK (04:25:10): Raquel just locked up she feels something a number of fighters like her self in number's she's never felt so many before like that. None are as strong as her master however so many with the talent and the means to use it was not something she'd ever seen. "Ken I can sense them, they are like ... me and what you couod be in time with training." She looks to face them distracted from the Transformers and calls out. "Strange wait Shura?! Your like him then! What business do you have with Earth?"
VJockey (04:25:25): *Optimus nods to Wheeljack as they make their move towards the ruins, weapons blazing!+
Meraxa (04:25:54): Ken: What are you even HERE for? Scarlet Whip! *The whip ignites again - wonder how high a melting point that tongue has!+
VJockey (04:26:06): [Ratchet sticking with Yuuya for now to get a read on his damage and assess for field repairs.]
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:14): "Ha ha ha. Why should I tell you anything?" Marcos' unit suddenly disappears. It's optical camouflage! While Ken melts the Berith's tongue into slag, he reappears behind ScarleTiger and knocks it to the ground with swipes of its claws!
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:28): Or, hands I suppose. Who knew chameleon mecha knew kung fu?
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:55): Megatron: "These newcomers really like to talk. Doesn't it sound nostalgic, Prime?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:16): As Optimus and Wheeljack charge at the cannon, Megatron takes aim... and fires a careful shot at his greatest rival!
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:17): React.
VJockey (04:28:30): Optimus: "I never thought you were one for sentimentality."
Meraxa (04:28:32): Ken: Ngh, the strongcontrol the weak, in your understanding, right? So I just have to beat you, and then you've gotta talk. *Ken rights himself shortly after, and steadies both himself and his unit. This... could get tough*
Meraxa (04:28:49): (*strong control)
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:48): Megatron: "I thought their endless nonsensical blabber would remind you of yourself!"
VJockey (04:30:03): *Optimus and Wheeljack both break off, leaping to either side as they shoot of more bits of Pyramid for the gun to chew up in place of the Autobot Leader!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:39): The pyramid is hit by Megatron's blast.
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:46): Megatron: "STARSCREAM YOU FOOL!"
VJockey (04:30:51): "And your endless stream of tyrannical declarations is any different?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:11): Starscream: "Wh... what?! I was not even near it, Megatron!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:21): Megatron: "This is what I mean! You were supposed to protect it!"
griefgathering (04:31:40): Chika: "And I thought I had it tough."
Ginkan SK (04:31:54): Raquel sounds oddly excited as this as she looks to MArco for a moment she's folling up Ken at this point as she launches her machine at Marco there's clearly KI use here, seems some humans have use of it as well as she attempst to track the Shura by sense and kick him up side the head. "You...so you going to give an answer or am I going to have to beat it out if you. You have given me a rare chance to just /cut/ lose!"+
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:30): "Oof!" Marcos did not see that, and his unit falls flat on the ground. It quickly lifts itself back up though.
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:12): Marcos: "Not bad for an inhabitant of this shoddy little planet... very well, I can tell you. We are looking for a woman who was supposed to be here a long time ago. A woman and her special machine."
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:54): But while he talks, more Shura attack - from one side, a bull-like Flauros charges at Amazon, from the other a Grimoire hides between its razor shields to turn into a deadly buzzsaw.
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:03): React to the pincer attack while being distracted by Marcos, Raquel.
Meraxa (04:35:05): #Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:11): Shu, Yuuya, Zero, go.
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:12): Approved.
Ginkan SK (04:35:33): *Raquel "So your looking for someone so just looking to test the locals? Should be expected of Shura. You combat ability is impressive in my experiance." She's cut off as she attemps to leap out of the way of the Buzzsaw so he was just stalling or was he telling the truth and doing the latter?+
sketchbookfiend (04:36:10): *Since this new enemy appears Zero returns to his original size and swats at whatever Seeker is left to volleyball spike one towards a Flauros.+
Meraxa (04:36:49): Ken is finding all sorts of uses for his whip today, including rodeo! "Come on!" *He yells as the whip lashes out for the nearest horn on the Flauros, and give its a hard pull to try and throw it to the ground!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:10): The Flauros seperates its blade from the main body and sends it flying - it is as if it had a Slugger of its own! It cuts through the poor Seeker and flies off to threaten to cut Zero too. React!
sketchbookfiend (04:38:16): *Zero would grin if he could as he swings his arms, directing his Sluggers to come back to him- quickly forming them into the Zero Sword and then swings to clash against the Flauros' blade.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:07): Raquel evades the Grimoire, which cuts into the Flauros, wrestled down (but not without major difficulty!) by Ken. The Shura machine is damaged, but it's sturdy so it does not go down yet.
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:55): The sword cuts through the blade, making it impossible for the weapon to return and be reused. This Flauros should be less of a challenge now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:40:17): (Still need Yuuya and Shu actions)
Ishikar3 (04:40:36): *As the new enemies appear Yuuya and the Argos flight continue on their approach to the pyramid. The 4 TSFs open up with 120mm fire to try to dislodge the pulse beam generator or at least to clear a path for the Autobots to do so.+
griefgathering (04:41:15): "Worm Smasher!" *Shu knows not to take any of these enemies lightly, so he cuts to the chase; the Granzon quickly forming a large number of small wormholes before itself, and firing into those wormholes simultaneously with a spread beam burst from its chest cannon. The target? The Seekers, as well as any of the Shura units that show openings! This quick attack means that the beams all appear around the enemy and strike at the same time, leaving Shu more room to react if the enemies return fire!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:38): Megatron: "No! I will personally obliterate anyone who does not defend the laser RIGHT NOW!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:15): Yet he may scream all he wants, but Shu destroys Seekers that tried to fire at the TSFs from above. That leaves the Argos flight to shoot at the pulse laser generator and damage it - safely.
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:28): Optimus, Ken, Raquel, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:44): Soundwave: "Major casualties sustained."
Meraxa (04:43:17): Ken: Raquel, you can... sense him, right? Where's he now?
VJockey (04:43:28): *Optimus opens fire on the cannon... but the shots were mostly to keep heads down and aim on him.... so what exactly was he planning...
VJockey (04:43:35): "Wheeljack! NOW!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:17): Marcos: "Wouldn't you like to know?" His Berith disappears again. Damn camouflage.
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:36): Marcos: "Why can she sense my presence... this is too familiar..." He mutters audibly.
VJockey (04:45:03): There's a roaring of thrusters as something very... very surprising happens. Well guys... did you know Wheeljack can FLY? Well he is, he's taking to the air right now on boosters that were built into his arms as he pulls off a daring divebomb attack with missiles at the cannon! If Blaster were hear, Ride of the Valkyries would be playing at full blast!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:04): It's almost in slo-mo - the top of the pyramid exploding, then Wheeljack flying out of the inferno at top speed, escaping from the fireball.
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:22): Ancient bricks fall all around you, some of them on fire. Let's hope the Inca will forgive you.
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:33): The Decepticon cannon is destroyed!
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:33): Starscream: "Oh noo!" From shock and sensing inevitable punishment, he turns back into a humanoid form and lands on one of nearby (not yet destroyed) buildings.
Ginkan SK (04:49:05): Raquel gor out of harms way she looks to Marco with a smirk on her face. "Not bad." She now laucnhes into a style of attacks Macro may very well know she striking for his joints trying to exploite his machine's joints as a weakness.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:07): Megatron: "A temporary setback, at least! The power tap is still active."
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:37): Megatron: "All I need is to ensure you are ground into space dust. Blitzwing, Astrotrain! Annihilate them!"
VJockey (04:49:42): Wheeljack: "And that's another thing I gotta do-"
VJockey (04:49:49): "Uh oh."
Meraxa (04:51:08): @Raquel
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:10): Suddenly, two new foes approach at top speed.
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:13): Approved Ken.
Meraxa (04:51:48): Ken: Then its there! *Following Raquel's lead, Ken has the ScarleTiger's face light up in fire...* FACE FLAME! *Which it then unleashes in a blazing torrent towards the general direction Marcos would seem to be+
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:49): One of them takes the form of a... space shuttle? Space shuttle with beam cannons - that send a powerful barrage at the gathered Autobots! Optimus and friends, react!
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:01): The second is a jet fighter.
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:28): But what's this - still mid-air, it transforms. Transforms into... a tank! Still going at top speed, it charges and fires its main cannon, sending an energy blast right at the biggest target, that is Ultraman Zero.
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:34): React! And then go with your own action.
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:41): Shu and Yuuya, also go.
VJockey (04:52:56): *Duck and cover! One of the happy accidents of blowing up the entire pyramid is that there was cover probably scattered around.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:38): The two Decepticons transform into humanoid modes after their assault.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:39): Blitzwing: http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/f/f1/Blitzwingg1.jpg
Astrotrain: http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/0/0a/Astrotraing1.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:04): Astrotrain: "First Starscream messes up, now I have to clean it all up."
sketchbookfiend (04:54:31): *Zero sees a freaking Shuttle turn into a Tank, so that puts him off guard a bit as he tries to dodge forward out of the angle of the blast- as soon as he can move though he rushes at Astrotrain in turn and strikes with a flaming punch+
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:37): Blitzwing: "Who cares! Big targets are very satisfying when they die. So do that, will you!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:10): At the same time, back to Raquel and Ken.
sketchbookfiend (04:55:11): ((Or...Blitzwing...the tank one))
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:53): Marcos: "Ha, ha! HAAA!" His unit performs top-notch (and kinda ridiculous, considering its form) feats of martial arts, blocking Raquel's attacks to cover most volatile of weakpoints.
cubey@aol.pl (04:57:07): Marcos: "I know this style too well to fall to it... huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:57:21): The Berith turns to face against a wall of flame, courtesy of Ken.
cubey@aol.pl (04:57:38): And now it's on fire.
Ginkan SK (04:58:02): Raquel "Wait what?! You know this style?!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:06): Astrotrain: "Come out, come out, wherever you are."
cubey@aol.pl (04:58:33): The Autobots went in cover, managing to evade any of the blasts. But now Astrotrain has them pinned down, and fires shots time and time again, almost casually to keep them that way.
griefgathering (04:58:40): *Shu now guns for the Grimoires and Sitris, since the Autobots seem to have their side covered, somewhat. The Granzon's head cannon lets loose sweeping bursts of the Gran Beam!+
Ishikar3 (04:58:41): *Seeing the approaching decepticons and the tank firing at Zero the Argos Flight scatters and takes cover behind the rubble and open up with fire to suppress the new arrivals.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:01): Blitzwing gets hit by the flaming fist!
griefgathering (04:59:12): (sorry, missed the act call)
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:21): But, despite being much smaller than Zero, he still keeps going. And his attack connects as well - that really hurts!
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:39): Blitzwing: "That really gets my oils boiling. Keep it up, don't disappoint!"
sketchbookfiend (04:59:46): Zero: "Che- you pack a punch for a short-stack!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:02): The Grimoires raise their shields to act as, well, shields. They are damaged anyway, but that allows the Sitris to counter attack. Which they do, by...
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:03): Well.
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:21): Launching large bouncing balls from their general chest areas. The balls fly off to smash into Granzon. React.
VJockey (05:01:41): #Shu?
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:45): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:09): Also Yuuya - both Blitzwing and Astrotrain are powerful opponents, so pick which one you attack.
Ishikar3 (05:02:31): Blitzwing since he was targeting most directly
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:03): Blitzwing: "Can't you see I'm busy here, smallfry? I'll stomp on your head!"
VJockey (05:03:08): *Ratchet took careful aim at the balls, if they're bouncing around like that... then enough shots could probably send them right back! So he opens fire with a near continuous stream from his pistols!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:20): He gets to running from cover to cover, and firing back with a handheld blaster. Argos flight, react!
griefgathering (05:04:59): *Shu reacts by...dashing straight at the bouncing projectiles. This doesn't look like a good idea at first, but the Granzon suddenly summons that giant sword again at the last moment and slices, releasing what looks like a black distortion to cut through the projectiles and the Sitris that launched them! If it hits, they'll literally be consumed by it and disappear!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:05:55): The balls are not bounced back - they explode when shot!
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:07): One of the Sitris jumps away with catlike grace, but the other was not so lucky.
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:16): In an instant it's gone. Only Shu really knows what happened here.
Ishikar3 (05:06:34): *VG and Tarisa fall back and keep up cannon fire to draw Blitzwing along deeper into the ruins. Stella and Yuuya however use the deeper cover to flank around and catch Blitzwing in an open crossfire between the 4 TSFs.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:22): Blitzwing only laughs maniacally, and takes to the skies - he turned into a fighter jet, even if it meant taking some minor hits. He'll be ready to swoop down, for deadly results, really soon.
VJockey (05:07:38): [Ratchet is immensely thankful he shot them as early as he did.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:07:44): Optimus, Ken, Raquel, go.
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:31): Also, how goes... whatever Wheeljack is trying to do?
VJockey (05:08:55): *Optimus is going to have to do something daring here. So he transforms into truck mode and rushes full speed at Astrotrain! However as he gets closer he swings his trailer around like a massive flail!+
VJockey (05:09:01): [As for Wheeljack...]
VJockey (05:09:45): [He's still macguyvering together a way to seal up the Core Tap from scrap left from the cannon as well as some of his own equipment! He's going to need more time!]
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:41): Astrotrain was distracted - you'd see his face reflected in Optimus's grill, except you approached him trailer-side first.
Meraxa (05:10:59): Ken: Suppose now's as good a time as any to try out... Beast Mode! *Its hard for someone to hide themselves when they're on fire, so as the ScarleTiger shifts into a robotic form of its animal namesake, it leaps at Marcos' Bernith, attempting to pin it down, fangs bared!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:00): Anyway he's thrown into the air, his barrage ended.
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:13): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:35): Starscream: "Just die!" He grabs his gun with both hands and fires at Wheeljack recklessly!
Ginkan SK (05:12:46): Raquel fdindfs the other are in the way and she's got a problemt o deal with Marco who the hell is this guy why are the Shura looking for someone, why do they know her style? What's going on here. She now pmants her feet as she looks to deal with Marco and sends a bolt of flame at him. "...Either way I will fight you, it's just how I am, Shura Warrior let it be known your not the first Shura I have met!"+
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:32): Marcos: "Too overwhelming! You have strength, but you waste it!"
VJockey (05:16:05): "WHEELJACK!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:24): He screams loudly as he tries to grasp his way out of underneath the ScarleTiger. But the chameleon-like machine is an agile one, and it manages to do so right in time. Still, Raquel's attack burns it quite heavily.
VJockey (05:17:21): *Ambulance bot throws himself in front of Wheeljack takes the shots meant for the still working science-bot!+
Meraxa (05:17:45): Ken: I'm still training! What, too much to handle? *Ken's getting cocky, pleased with the way the fight has changed*
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:07): Ratchet tanks the hit... and is heavily damaged.
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:25): Critically, even. If there only was an Autobot medic to assist him. Oh.
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:40): Starscream: "Ha ha! Take that, Auto-junk!"
Ishikar3 (05:19:20): Yuuya: "Ratchet! Ratchet speak to me!"
Ginkan SK (05:19:23): Raquel "Waste it how do you mean?! I seek foes to get my self stronger that's half of why I'm in the job I'm in!"
VJockey (05:19:35): Ratchet: "...g..h..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:52): Marcos: "To protect others weaker than you? What kind of strength is...?"
Meraxa (05:19:58): Ken: ...Ratchet? *Ken pauses, turning*
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:01): Suddenly he is interrupted because something approaches.
sketchbookfiend (05:20:05): Zero: "Wha-"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:24): A small group of transformers walks forward!
VJockey (05:20:26): [Ratchet is trying to vocalize but his systems are rapidly shutting down in order to put him into stasis lock - and possibly repairs... ]
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:36): They do not look like they want to fight you.
VJockey (05:20:48): Wheeljack: "Ratchet?! Ratchet you-"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:51): They move towards you casually.
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:39): One of the green and purple robots steps forward.
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:12): Scrapper: "Human creatures of Earth, we come in peace."
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:36): "We come to you to preach the message of unity, co-operation, and goodwill between... our races..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:59): He has trouble keeping a straight face, despite not really having a face.
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:10): "Ours is a message of kindness.... ppfffff ha ha ha ha!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:19): The five start to laugh.
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:49): Starscream: "You took your sweet time to make an entrance, Constructicons!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:01): "We're already winning, because of me!"
sketchbookfiend (05:24:15): Zero: "...What was the point of that!?"
VJockey (05:24:29): (Permission to have Wheeljack shoot Starscream?)
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:34): (Granted)
VJockey (05:24:47): Wheeljack: "STARSCREAM!"
Ginkan SK (05:25:00): Raquel "Ratchet!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:18): It seems several of the Shura did not like this display, as suddenly two Beriths lunge at the green and purple Decepticon group!
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:33): The Constructicons' reaction...
VJockey (05:25:37): *And hey screechy the wonderplane! Have a magnetic missile fired right at your face!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:46): They transform.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:51): But not into several units, no.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:57): They combine into a single huge one.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:58): http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/210/4/6/devastator_coloured_by_markerguru-d422892.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:20): Who grabs the Beriths, one in each hand, and slams them together into junk.
Meraxa (05:26:25): Ken: ...T-They... combined?!
sketchbookfiend (05:26:32): Zero: "...this will save me time punching them all in the mouth."
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:56): Devastator: "Prepare yourselves to face imminent destruction."
VJockey (05:27:00): Optimus: "Devastator..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:25): Starscream: "Gyaaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:53): Your dialogue is interrupted by the second in command Decepticon screaming loudly as he falls down into a pile of rubble, from which he tries to dig himself back up.
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:20): Shu, Yuuya and Zero, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:47): Marcos: "This one is..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:53): ???: "Marcos, this is enough."
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:34): Another machine stands in the distance, the moon behind its back. Is it a Shura? It looks like something a martial artist would use.
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:50): Marcos: "Mateus..."
Ishikar3 (05:30:29): (enemy list)
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:05): Mateus: "You have learnt all there is to learn in this place. I already know where Iarissa had gone. Your work is done here."
cubey@aol.pl (05:31:26): Enemy list: Megatron, Starscream, Seekers x2, Blitzwing (damaged), Astrotrain, Devastator
sketchbookfiend (05:31:53): *Zero still has a fight to finish with Blitzwing so he rears back the Zero Sword with both hands on the grip and flies after the Decepticon swinging it towards its wing.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:48): Seeing this, Blitzwing flies down to meet Zero, his guns blazing with fire as he goes all out with shooting in jet fighter mode. React, Zero.
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:04): Marcos: "Hmph."
Ishikar3 (05:33:30): #Zero
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:02): Marcos: "If only I had something more powerful than a Berith... a Shura God..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:13): Mateus: "Are you trying to say something?"
sketchbookfiend (05:34:17): *Zero is going to swerve and dodge to avoid the blasts as he moves in on the jet, swinging hard for it's wing.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:18): Marcos: "Nothing."
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:20): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:01): Mateus: "I have observed the fight. You have potential - I will keep my eye on you."
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:09): It is unclear whom he addresses, actually.
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:24): But the Shura departs, and the rest follow - unless you try to stop them?
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:45): Devastator seems happy to have brutalized the ones that struck against him, and focuses his attention to you now instead.
griefgathering (05:36:23): *The Granzon fires a single charged beam from its chest at Devastator. Shu isn't expecting to do much damage here.+
Ishikar3 (05:37:07): *As Blitzwing dives at Zero the Argos flght moves forward. Stella and VG take up position in the back opening fire with 4 36mm cannons for each TSF. Tarisa and Yuuya approach the dive end point and start firing 120mm HE rounds with a proximity fuse to try to shake the decepticon's dive.+
Meraxa (05:38:24): Ken: Hey! What about your so called 'warrior's pride'?! *Ken stares down the departing Berith, wanting to pursue, but the current situation...*
cubey@aol.pl (05:38:24): Devastator takes a step back - the Gran Beam had some effect, it seems. But not enough to stop him. The Decepticon charges forward, intent on taking Granzon apart with his bare hands!
cubey@aol.pl (05:38:27): React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:31): Zero barely avoids those blasts - because the TSFs knock Blitzwing off balance. A strike, and there goes his wing. The rest of the Decepticon flies off into the distance, uncontrollable.
Ginkan SK (05:39:58): Raquel meanwhile looks to the huge combining transformers. "...this day keeps dropping new and interesting foes upon her." She'll worry about the Shura in a bit she's going to plant her feet if she hears antything from the Shrua no she's going to let them depart. "I'll be waiting for your return. Ken worry about the huge super robot !" Man everyone's combinging these days itt seems. She moves to launch her own attacks this time? She cups her hands and the energy dragons form launching themselves at Devstator while he's busy with Shu!
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:00): Megatron: "It does not matter! With Devastator on my side, Decepticons cannot lose!"
Ginkan SK (05:40:51): (Ignore that)
griefgathering (05:41:17): Shu: "A head-on charge..." *One thing a lot of people forget is the fact that the Granzon does, in fact, control gravity itself. The dark machine doesn't do any wormhole dodging this time, but instead flips to avoid the large opponent with surprising agility - hanging upside down as it swings the Gran Worm Sword at one of Devastator's arms. The weight of the blade does not affect the Granzon, but to its opponent, it might as well be Mjollnir!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:10): Devastator: "?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:35): Seeing this counter-attack, the combiner does the only thing it can to avoid severe damage to its component pieces.
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:48): It decombines, component Decepticons now sprawled on the ground!
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:10): Does anyone want to take advantage of this?
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:14): If so, @ and be fast.
VJockey (05:43:20): @Optimus
VJockey (05:43:31): *w.
Ishikar3 (05:43:31): @Yuuya
Ginkan SK (05:43:43): @
cubey@aol.pl (05:43:48): Approved, and go.
sketchbookfiend (05:43:59): @
cubey@aol.pl (05:44:29): Also approved
Ginkan SK (05:44:37): Raquel meanwhile looks to the huge combining transformers. "...this day keeps dropping new and interesting foes upon her." She'll worry about the Shura in a bit she's going to plant her feet if she hears antything from the Shrua no she's going to let them depart. "I'll be waiting for your return. Ken worry about the huge super robot !" Man everyone's combinging these days itt seems. She now launches herself at the stunned decepticons who would find the Amazon pouncing on them with a good deal of Fury. It's simple no Ki she's just going to star smacking the hell out of them before they can get back up.+
VJockey (05:44:50): *Optimus rallies and opens fire on the now seperated Constructicons, rushing in with his axe to seriously ruin some days!+
VJockey (05:44:56): "Keep them off balance and seperated!"
sketchbookfiend (05:45:46): *Zero turns his attention to the Decepticons and does his SPECIAL MOVE- the Zero sword seperates back into his sluggers on his head and he puts his arms in an L shape firing the Zero Wide Beam into the Constructicons!+
Ishikar3 (05:46:08): *Turning back to the decombined constructicons the Argos flight frame in on one of the decepticons and concentrate on keeping him off balance. Yuuya and Tarisa caging the robot in with melee while VG and Stella offer supporting fire and suppress the other constructicons from assisting.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:04): The Decepticons scatter!
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:24): Constructicons transform into various... well, construction vehicles, and flee like their lives depended on it. Because it does.
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:48): Still, those of you who gang up on only one of them manage to add injury to insult.
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:05): Good luck combining back into Devastator in this state.
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:12): Wheeljack!
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:24): Your jury rigged solution is ready, and it seems no one tries to shoot you for now.
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:26): Do it.
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:13): The source of power... is sealed.
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:30): So much for the Decepticons' cannon. Even if it gets rebuilt, it won't work anymore.
Ginkan SK (05:53:33): Raquel "That was pretty insane, and why are there more Shura...here?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:01): Megatron: "Damn you!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:17): Megatron: "This is how dealing with the native creatures ends!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:39): Decepticons still left behind jump into Astrotrain - who transformed into a shuttle, and quickly takes off!
sketchbookfiend (05:54:48): Zero: "Cry me a river Liar-bot or whatever your names were."
VJockey (05:54:54): [Wheeljack remains silent, no cries of exultation here.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:23): The Shura are gone by now, having escaped to parts unknown.
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:32): Time to return to Freeden, which will take you back to Alhambra.
VJockey (05:55:34): [He merely loads up Ratchet onto Prime's trailer when the Autobot leader transforms before returning to check up on the seal.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:40): And hope Ratchet will make it...
Ginkan SK (05:55:50): Raquel turns to Wheeljack "Do you need help with Ratchet? We need to get him some help now..." It seems he does not. "Damn it..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:52): MISSION COMPLETE
Ishikar3 (05:56:52): Yuuya: "Is there anywhere we can transport him to or anything we can do to help?"
VJockey (05:57:39): Optimus: "... It is alright... We... have it handled.."
