Mission 039 - the Runaway

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (01:16:29): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:12): It was a normal day, afternoon Japanese time, when suddenly...
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:55): A state of emergency out of nowhere! A convoy transporting some Real Troopers (that's a series of mecha) was attacked by unknown attackers - almost right at Sakihama's doorstep.
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:21): It had very few escorts because no one expected an attack in a well-defended place like this. Yet it happened.
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:49): Unity Group immediately dispatched whomever was available. Others will follow, as soon as TSEN cools down to send in another group of units.
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:55): But until that time, there is only you.
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:12): The five of you are sent out to intercept the enemy and secure the convoy!
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:22): No shuttles here, you move with your own units.
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:00): Your units will be near the convoy in but a few minutes. What do you do or say before you arrive?
tengusaur (01:20:07): Asagi: "Who would do something like this? Don't tell me it's Lady's Good Men again..."
Meraxa (01:20:29): Ken is racing along in Drive Mode, the units rather conspicuously loud engine roaring. "Could just be a coincidence. Then again, with our luck..."
tormterra (01:20:33): Kei was keeping an eye out as she traveld through the cityscape outside Sakihama. How could the enemy just vanish like that? "I don't think so...But maybe."
VJockey (01:20:44): [Peola looked a little antsy here...]
VJockey (01:21:02): [In fact the area they were heading to was extremely familiar to her.]
Peter Kampschroeder (01:21:02): Sarah: "Let's just hope they go away when we show up." Tiankui jogs along with the rest of the group.
VJockey (01:21:14): "I'm hoping they don't show up at all."
Meraxa (01:21:48): Ken: ...Huh? What, you don't want us to find out who attacked the convoy?
VJockey (01:22:22): "Not even remotely what I mean!"
VJockey (01:22:27): "I just..."
tormterra (01:22:40): Kei: "Regardless, we need to find the enemy, whoever it is."
VJockey (01:22:41): "...gah..."
tengusaur (01:23:00): Asagi: "You okay?" Peola is acting weird.
cubey@aol.pl (01:23:37): You're getting close - and it doesn't look well.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:23:47): Sarah: "I think she means she'd rather avoid fighting..."
VJockey (01:24:23): "I'm fine! Perfectly okay."
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:26): Vehicles used to transport the Real Troopers have been forcibly stopped, and by that I mean several of them were damaged too much to move and the rest formed a traffic jam on the seaside highway used for the transport.
VJockey (01:24:31): "I just..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:34): No civilians around, fortunately.
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:38): You see the enemies though!
VJockey (01:24:49): "I've been getting a bad feeling all day..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:53): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og1/rpt-007.jpg
tengusaur (01:24:55): Asagi: "It doesn't look like we can avoid fighting here!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:04): A large group of Gespenst mk IIs.
VJockey (01:25:11): [Especially since she saw that weird and oddly familiar feeling mechanic working on her Gespenst...]
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:24): But that's weird... those units had a limited production run. Where did the enemy find so many of them without anyone noticing?
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:27): Especially since...
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:35): Each one of them is flying, equipped with a Tesla Drive!
tormterra (01:25:43): Kei: "I don't think any of us wants to fight. But it's our duty to do so."
Meraxa (01:25:44): Ken: ...What in the...
VJockey (01:26:11): "Tch... Just our luck then..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:23): They do not pay attention to you at the moment, that's because they are busy engaging the defender of the convoy.
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:28): A single remaining defender.
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:37): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN00p8MNajg
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:41): Lamia, go!
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:45): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x21
tengusaur (01:27:01): Asagi: "Kei. Could these be related to the Huckebeins that attacked us in the jungle?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:27:54): Huffman: "Ohh? These Gespensts don't have any markings."
cubey@aol.pl (01:28:00): Huffman: "At least any I recognize."
tormterra (01:28:31): Kei: "Maybe...But it might be an unrelated group who has gotten their hands on them."
Ishikar3 (01:29:05): Lamia: "Approaching units identify yourselves. You're entering a combat zone." The latter was said as she moves to a better firing position and unleashes a burst of energy bolts from her wrist at one of the gespenst units.
cubey@aol.pl (01:29:48): For reference, the unit the Gespensts are engaged in combat with looks like this:
Meraxa (01:30:08): Ken: Unity Group. *He answers, bluntly, rather confused by the defending unit's... appearance*
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:21): http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UN00p8MNajg/0.jpg
tormterra (01:30:26): Kei: "Unity Group. Stand down and identify yourself."
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:31): It's also large, and flying.
tengusaur (01:30:36): Asagi: "We're here to help!"
tengusaur (01:30:41): Asagi: "...What is this unit?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:42): One of the Gespensts is pierced with several of the energy bolts and explodes.
Meraxa (01:30:58): Ken: I have no idea.
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:11): Two others try to flank the Angelg from two sides and simultaneously launch Slash Rippers - several remote controlled blades fly towards the super robot! Lamia, react.
Meraxa (01:31:18): Ken: Whoever designed it must have been rather... eccentric.
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:18): Peola and Ken, go.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:31:29): Sarah: "...Like you're one to talk, tiger-boy."
VJockey (01:31:50): "...I'm pretty sure there's worse though.."
Ishikar3 (01:32:14): *Lamia takes note of the slash rippers aproaching her and slides easily out of the path of one only strike the other with her units beam saber.+
VJockey (01:32:33): *Either way, Peola moves to engage the enemy Gespensts! Starting off with a shotgun as she does her best to get up close and personal!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:56): Huffman: "That should be the Mitsurugi Industries test pilot. I just received a call that she's at the convoy as well."
tormterra (01:33:00): Kei: "Is it that much weirder than some of the others we have seen?"
Meraxa (01:33:20): Ken: ...Same goes to you, General. Stand Up! *Ken yells as the machine shifts from car to giant humanoid form, and ScarleTiger leaps to lash its whip towards the nearest Gespenst. Lets see if he can't bring it back down to Earth with a powerful pull!+
Ishikar3 (01:33:26): Lamia: "Lamia Loveless, test pilot for Isurugi Industries. I was accompanying the convoy as an escort."
cubey@aol.pl (01:33:36): *Isurugi
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:27): The Gespenst pilots aren't newbies, and it's hard to approach them with a normal, non-modified Gespenst of your own.
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:56): Peola manages to damage one with a shotgun blast, but its squadmates unleash a barrage of beam rifle shots at the same time. React!
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:42): As one of the other Gespensts is grabbed by the whip, it unleashes Slash Rippers and tries to use them to cut into the weapon. React, Ken.
VJockey (01:35:44): *Well damn! Peola's forced to switch her close-in manuever to evasive ones! Pushing her boosters as hard as she could to manuever past the shots!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:28): Lamia destroys one of the offending Slashers, but the other cuts into Angelg with a glancing blow. The unit's armor is pretty thick, nothing to worry about.
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:53): Huffman: "As you can see! I didn't have to say anything at all. How's the convoy doing?"
tengusaur (01:37:03): Asagi: "I think that's the first robot I've seen that's made to look like an angel..."
tengusaur (01:37:12): Asagi: "The convoy took damage. They can't move from here."
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:38): Peola somehow manages to evade the blasts, but the Gespensts now start flanking her. This is a bad position you're in.
Meraxa (01:37:51): Ken debates whether or not to test the strength of Solaris' weaponry... and instead decides to cut short the gap by leaping ahead, hoping to effectively make the Slashers overshoot as he slips through the gap for a mighty kick!+
tormterra (01:38:24): Kei: "Yes, but we've seen plenty of weird ones. Regardless, we need to defend the convoy and the test pilot."
VJockey (01:38:26): [Bad maybe but not hopeless.]
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:29): You might remember Fort Severn's special newtype remote weaponry... but these are nothing as precise as that.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:03): ScarleTiger rushes past the slashers, barely avoiding getting hit and kicking the Gespenst - it's knocked off the sky and crashes to the ground. But it's not destroyed yet, just heavily damaged.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:07): Kei, Sarah, Asagi, go
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:15): Also, you may notice.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:28): Several of the convoy's trucks have Huckebeins resting on them.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:42): But most of the vehicles are empty.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:47): Where did the cargo go? Who knows.
tengusaur (01:40:47): *Asagi: "Get away from the convoy!" Blue One soars in towards the ground, firing its heavy machinegun rapidly towards the Gespensts while trying to flank them! Asagi especially targets the enemies who are trying to surround Peola.+
tengusaur (01:41:02): Asagi: "...Are they trying to steal the RTs?"
Meraxa (01:41:08): Ken: Miss... 'Loveless', right? *Ken can't believe he's saying the name* What are these guys after exactly?
Peter Kampschroeder (01:41:32): *Tiankui moves to give Peola some help...by leaping high into the air and delivering a flying kick to a genspenst in that area! Sarah takes care to twist in the air slightly to try to avoid the cockpit.+
Ishikar3 (01:41:39): Lamia: "I am uncertain, a few of the units have been taken but I have not been able to identify any group they belong to."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:41:45): It might throw her attack off, but hey, principles.
Meraxa (01:42:09): Ken: Were the units anything... particular? Or just standard models?
VJockey (01:42:14): "Well whoever these guys are they're definitely no amateurs!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:26): With Asagi's covering fire and Sarah's head on attack, the flankers' formation is disrupted.
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:41): Moreover, one of them goes down (non lethally) while two others are damaged.
Ishikar3 (01:43:04): Lamia: "They were mass produced units being transferred to military facilities, no special equipment was on the manifest that I know of."
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:13): The rest bring out shotguns and go to town - buckshot and slugs fly through the air. Sarah and Asagi, both react.
tormterra (01:43:26): * "Lamia, we're here to help. Ken and Peola have done a good job drawing the attention of the enemies. The following units are exposed to you if you act quickly." Sending the data she promised, Lamia saw a number of gespensts highlighted on her monitor as Kei spoke. +
Peter Kampschroeder (01:44:01): *Sarah lands, then turns to face the oncoming fire and block it with Tiankui's forearms.+
VJockey (01:44:10): #Asagi?
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:15): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:28): Lamia can take Kei's command action.
VJockey (01:45:26): *With many guns aimed upwards, Peola can move in for the kill! Rushing the ones aiming at Asagi she primes both the Jet Magnum and the Assault Blade! Moving to alternate between slashes and massive punches with each attack!+
Ishikar3 (01:45:55): *Lamia nods over the video com and Angelg moves to take an overhead position for the indicated units as she draws a bow. Energy strings form as she draws it back and lets loose with a volley of energy arrows.+
tengusaur (01:46:27): Asagi: "They're skilled. But...!" Blue One starts moving around in an evasive pattern, using the energy shield to block any attacks that might still hit. Asagi doesn't counterattack for the time being, but tries to lure enemies into places where they might be open to attacks from his allies instead. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:44): Thanks to Peola and Asagi cooperating, the two damaged Gespensts are now down.
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:59): Attack on Tiankui was insignificant.
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:27): Lamia's arrows cause one of the Gespensts to explode, and another one follows.
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:43): It seems you're taking pretty good care of those now that their formation has been broken.
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:51): But... their mission was not to fight you, after all.
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:13): It was to grab the machines - and several of the Gespensts do just do that, and try to flee - towards the water!
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:25): The water, where you can see some sort of large submarine craft surfacing!
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:40): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x12 (1 damaged), Gespenst mk II carrying a Huckebein x4
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:44): Go, Lamia, Peola and Ken.
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:51): Also, Mystery Submarine Craft x1
Meraxa (01:49:53): Ken: ...Oh you've gotta be kidding.
VJockey (01:50:01): "You guys are going NOWHERE!!"
VJockey (01:50:27): *Peola bum rushes the fleeing Gespensts to try maim them to a halt!+
tormterra (01:50:28): Kei: "Keep in mind that they're carrying the stolen units, don't destroy their cargo as well."
Ishikar3 (01:51:49): *Lamia turns continuing to draw back her bow string and fire, focusing on one of the fleeing Gespenst units and making note to fire for critical systems out of line with the carried Huckebein.+
Meraxa (01:54:15): Ken: Roger. *Ken rushes in as well, letting his whip lash out yet again. Aiming for a Gespenst carrying a Huckebein, he tries to see if he can melt off one of the very arms carrying the other machine. Well, giant robots can't be that easy to lug around!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:10): One of the Gespensts is damaged by Lamia's shot, but before the two others can engage the escapees in melee...
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:47): Suddenly a swarm of missiles and physical high-caliber cannon shots flies through the air, taking advantage from the fact you're all focused on attacking to catch you unaware!
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:53): React, Lamia, Ken and Peola.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:09): The shots came from a trio of new enemies that appear from under the water, and surface on the coast.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:19): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og2/rgv-30.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:24): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og2/rgc-034.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:37): New enemies: Randgrith x2, Rathgrith
VJockey (01:58:15): "!!"
Meraxa (01:58:45): Ken: ...! *Ken pulls back from his attack, and tries to flurry his whip to intercept some of the missiles before they might reach ScarleTiger itself+
tengusaur (01:59:15): Asagi: "First a submarine, now this? That's a lot of firepower to steal some machines..."
tengusaur (01:59:21): Asagi: "Who are these guys?"
VJockey (01:59:25): *She didn't even pick up on- Nevermind! No time for that! Peola has to break off the attack once again and has to really strain her controls to try get through this!+
Ishikar3 (01:59:36): *Lamia pulls back away from the barrage using her wrist beams to intercept the larger shells and missiles as she moves out of the line of fire.+
Ishikar3 (02:00:56): The colonel must be more worried about the unity group than I thought to use those.
tormterra (02:00:57): Kei: "Maybe there's more to it than just theft..."
Peter Kampschroeder (02:02:27): Sarah: "Huh, all this for us? I'm touched."
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:04): Lamia and Ken are suppressed, and take some damage but manage to overcome it somehow.
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:09): As for Peola though...
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:25): Mid-jump, your Gespenst's not entirely highpowered Tesla Drive just gives up.
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:31): Leaving you defenseless to the cannonade!
tormterra (02:04:16): #peola
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:23): The PT is pummeled mercilessly, the rounds penetrate your armor and send the Gespenst down to the ground in a series of explosions.
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:48): Rejected, you were too far to react in time.
tengusaur (02:04:52): Asagi: "Shit...! Peola!"
Meraxa (02:04:59): Ken: D-Dammit
VJockey (02:05:00): "GAAAAH!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:10): Peola status: Downed.
VJockey (02:05:11): [Wh- What the heck happened!?]
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:22): More units appear out of the submarine to provide support.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:05:29): Sarah: "Great..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:45): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og2/a-12.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:52): http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/og2/mht-27.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:06:01): Sorpesa fighter jet x6, Fylgia hovertank x6
tormterra (02:06:04): Kei: "Everyone, protect her until she can be recovered."
cubey@aol.pl (02:06:07): Kei, Sarah, Asagi, go.
VJockey (02:06:28): [Peola, rattled as she was does her best to disentangle herself from her seat and kick her cockpit hatch open.]
tengusaur (02:08:08): Asagi: "She's vulnerable to artillery fire like this. I won't let them shoot again." Blue One drops down from the air towards one of the green newcomers, slashing at it with a descending katana swing and following up with a horizonal one. +
Meraxa (02:08:37): Ken: You know, we've dealt with well armed terrorists, but these guys are settng a new standard...
tormterra (02:09:41): * "We need to form a defensive perimeter against the enemy. Asagi, Lamia, I believe the three of us are the only ones capable of flight. We need to use that to prevent them from achieving air superiority and due to the weakness of my armaments, that will mostly be on you. Engage the fighter planes and the gespensts. While they do that, Ken can use his speed to get in along the path I'm sending to take out their artillery, then fall back to rejoin the rest of us." +
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:43): The Randgrith acts in formation with the two others - it raises its shoulder shields and tries to retreat with them as a cover. At the same time, the other green and the red unit both launch missile pods.
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:55): Missile pods that unleash a swarm of smaller micro-missiles. Asagi, react!
Peter Kampschroeder (02:09:57): *Tiankui rushes in towards the bad guys, firing quick beams from its fingers towards the enemy units-when she gets closer towards Peola's unit, she crosses her hands over her chest and goes full beamspam towards the enemy, a beam shooting out from every single fingertip the red and gold unit has. No more care is given towards the lives of the enemy fighters.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:16): Asagi has his own problems, Lamia and Ken can take the action.
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:40): What are you targetting, Sarah?
Meraxa (02:11:17): Ken: I see it. Beast Mode! *ScarleTiger shifts forms, and following the route laid out, uses its superior mobility to try and work its way through towards the enemy artillery - right where it can dig in its claws!+
Peter Kampschroeder (02:11:21): (Tanks and figher jets)
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:45): Several of the support units go down from the initial barrage, but that means the rest, seeing you as a primary target, focus their fire. The fighters shoot concentrated beams as they pass above Tiankui, while the tanks fire physical linear gun rounds.
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:48): React, Sarah.
Ishikar3 (02:13:14): *Lamia draws her beam saber to strike at the nearby planes but mainly relies on her shadow lancer shots to attack the planes.+
tengusaur (02:13:24): Asagi: "I'm rather preoccupied here!" He keeps pushing into melee - those enemies won't risk firing too many missiles if one of them is in the area of effect, or at least that's what he hopes! He uses Blue One's katana to slash at the incoming missiles, as well as the Randgrith. +
Peter Kampschroeder (02:14:05): *More blocking from Sarah! She'll take those bullets like a MAN! Also, Peola is nearby, and having her get hit would be bad. Like, the most bad.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:22): Bad news Asagi - they in fact would do something exactly like that. Your barriers are overwhelmed and Blue One is damaged severely.
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:37): But the gambit paid off in that the Randgrith was shot by missiles as well!
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:56): And the katana slash cuts it in two - both pieces promptly explode.
tengusaur (02:15:19): Asagi: "They're willing to shoot each other..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:03): Tiankui would be in trouble now, but Ken and Lamia take care of the enemies pretty well there. They take the pressure off Sarah - only half of the initial enemy numbers remain!
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:28): On the other hand, the Huckebein-carrying foes are getting closer and closer towards the sub. They are less than halfway there!
tormterra (02:16:29): Kei: "But only if it means hitting us..." Just what kind of fanatics were these people?
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:34): Lamia, Ken, Kei, go.
tengusaur (02:16:46): Asagi: "...They're like the Wulgaru..."
VJockey (02:16:52): "...Damnit... damnitdamnitdamnit..."
tormterra (02:17:27): Kei: "Yes...Hopefully they aren't Wulgaru infiltrators."
VJockey (02:17:30): [There had to be something she could do...]
VJockey (02:17:40): [Well... there was but...]
Peter Kampschroeder (02:17:48): Sarah: "Great. Today's a great day."
Meraxa (02:17:52): Ken: I'll try and get them from here! *Ken circles around from his charge, and like the beast his machine is modelled after, pounces to try and tackle down and maul an enemy gespenst.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:15): (One that has a Huckebein or not?)
VJockey (02:18:35): "...okay... deep breath... I can do this..."
VJockey (02:18:51): "I'm just probably going to hate the rest of the day."
tormterra (02:18:52): * "Anyway, we need to get Asagi out of there Ken, you're the closest, move towards his position to secure the area enough that the two of you can start pulling back. Sarah, cut an opening to them by attacking the enemies in between once Ken has managed to link up with Asagi." +
Meraxa (02:20:05): (That does)
tengusaur (02:20:35): Asagi: "I can still move. There's a lot of them, but that's not enough to take down Blue One yet..."
Peter Kampschroeder (02:21:02): Sarah: "Sure thing."
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:16): Sarah, take the action. There is only one problem here...
Ishikar3 (02:21:30): Lamia keeps quiet as she moves towards the Gespensts carrying the Huckebeins and resumes her attack. Knowing her unit's capabilities she returns to firing her Illusion Arrows at vulnerable locations on the fleeing units hoping to destroy or slow them enough to be caught.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:06): As soon as Ken targets the fleeing Gespenst, the red enemy unit takes notice. It as if it was deliberately waiting for something like this. Its large back-mounted cannon deploys - and fires!
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:21): Fast and accurate, the shots are aimed right at your exposed back - and the cockpit!
tormterra (02:22:28): Kei: "Getting cut off increases the risk greatly and leaves us all more vulnerable."
tengusaur (02:23:12): Asagi: "I know..." He doesn't like being scolded about something that he did a few times in the past already.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:21): At the same time...
Peter Kampschroeder (02:23:30): *Sarah goes for those enemies Kei's pointed out to her, striking with a mix of glowy kicks and elbow strikes to try to clear a path for Ken.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:35): Peola made her way out of the damaged Gespenst.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:50): And in fact, you notice... something, right next to it.
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:56): Something that you burried right here a long time ago.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:00): Or was it such a long time?
VJockey (02:24:13): #Ken?
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:17): How about using it? But do you realize the consequences of doing so?
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:19): Still.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:20): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:29): You notice the Rathgrith aiming its shots just right now.
VJockey (02:24:44): [She could worry about the consequences later...]
VJockey (02:24:48): [Right now...]
VJockey (02:25:27): "Arm thy soul. Stand thy ground. Raise thine fists to the challenge..."
VJockey (02:25:38): "AWAKEN THINE SPIRIT! REGALIS FILIA!!"
VJockey (02:27:05): *The buried 'thing' expodes out of the ground in a burst of bright blue energy... something almost familiar to Ken from his Ki-Radar experiment... Either way a massive blade was swung at the incoming shell that was closing in on Ken's back as a larger machine moved to cover it!+
VJockey (02:27:11): ( http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=237732 )
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:01): The shell is just cut in half. There is a momentary pause as your enemies wonder just what the hell happened.
VJockey (02:29:06): [There was an enemy to smash.]
tengusaur (02:29:11): Asagi: "...What is this?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:15): Ken and Lamia use that pause to down two of the fleeing Gespensts.
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:26): The Huckebeins they carried are more or less undamaged, fortunately.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:29:27): Sarah: "Ah."
tormterra (02:29:43): Kei: "...Let's just wait on asking until later."
Ishikar3 (02:30:05): Lamia pauses momentarily to look at the new unit. I guess my reports will be longer than originally estimated.
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:14): Sarah still has Kei's action to take, you can incorporate it into your own action now.
VJockey (02:30:15): [It slams its foot solidly on the ground, swinging its sword into position as it entered a combat stance.]
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:19): Peola, Asagi, Sarah, move.
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:25): (Sarah can also do two different things because of that)
tengusaur (02:30:36): (enemy list?)
Meraxa (02:30:39): Ken: ...Huh...? *Ken... pauses, once the adrenaline stops being enough to not notice.* P-Peola... Did you just...?
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:43): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x12 (1 damaged), Gespenst mk II carrying Huckebeins x2, Rathgrith, Randgrith x1, Sorpesa x3, Fylgia x3, Mysterious Submarine
VJockey (02:30:56): "Talk later, fight now!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:20): The Rathgrith and Randgrith are at the coast, with Fylgias providing support while floating over water and Sorpesas flying overhead.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:29): The Gespensts make their way towards the sub, steadily.
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:33): Also.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:31:36): Sarah: "I can get behind that sentiment..."
tengusaur (02:31:38): Asagi: "Did anyone know she can do that?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:44): A new unit appears, this time from the mainland's direction.
VJockey (02:31:51): "If we sink that Sub those Gespensts can't run anywhere right?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:55): And this time, it's an ally, as its IFF shows!
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:58): Raquel, go.
tormterra (02:32:55): Kei: "No, but is it really surprising by now? Who here isn't special in some way?"
tengusaur (02:33:34): * Asagi moves back to join the rest of his allies, like told - being surrounded would be back with the damage he's taken. But on the way, he passes the Gespensts carrying Huckebeins, and slashes at their arms, trying to cut them off. You can't carry anything if you don't have hands! +
Meraxa (02:34:03): Ken: ...I... vaguely knew. *Though he hadn't imagined it'd be quite like this either...*
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:18): The Gespensts try juking out of the way while Sorpessas provide supporting fire - beams criss-cross through the sky, aimed at Blue One. React!
tormterra (02:35:58): #Asagi
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:08): Approved.
VJockey (02:36:30): *With that Logic in mind, Peola resheaths the massive sword... then pulls it off the Regalis Filia's back, the ground underneath it cracking a little as the machine seemingly tensed... then leaped high, high...HIGH into the air, its scarf trailing behind it before it swung the sheathed blade down and fell towards the sub like a falling star! Faster than one would even expect! Ken would notice an abnormal amount of Ki pumped into the sheathed sword, as if to make it even more heavier than it was before!+
VJockey (02:36:49): "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Meraxa (02:37:12): Ken: Such power...!
tormterra (02:37:14): * Seeing the beams coming for Asagi, Kei hit the throttle pushing Purple-2 forward to interpose itself between the beams and the damaged AHSMB. +
tengusaur (02:37:33): * Asagi tries to disarm at least one of the Gespensts while doing what might be the best defense against beams in this situation - diving into the water! Though he'll get out of it to rejoin the others afterwards. =
tengusaur (02:37:35): +
Ginkan SK (02:38:12): Raquel is a bit on the late side however, but here she is none the less at this point. She's leaping off a hover unit and trying to drop kick one of the Gespensts that are carrying Huckebeins. "You want some of well come and get it!"
Ginkan SK (02:38:29): +
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:40): Kei tanks some of the hits, and Asagi hides from the rest through use of weapon rating abuse.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:57): Also you managed to disarm one of the Gespensts - which means only one is left!
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:41): Raquel tries to go for that one, but non-carrying Gespensts are still in the air, between you and their target. Suddenly several of them launch slash rippers and shoot the remote weapons at you.
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:42): React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:15): Also, other Gespensts try to move towards the dropped Huckebeins and pick them back up.
tengusaur (02:41:18): Asagi emerges from the water, Blue One carrying the Huckebein over a shoulder. "Good support there."
Ginkan SK (02:41:30): Raquel attemps to intercept the rippers with her head vulcans+
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:46): Well, some of them get a bit of Sarah's kung fu and explode. (Sorry for late)
tengusaur (02:42:02): (possibly retcon the second part of that sentence?)
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:05): The Amazon shoots down several of the blades, but one of them still cuts against its Huckebein-like frame.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:30): As for Peola...
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:37): The attack is powerful.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:42): But it does not hit its target.
Ginkan SK (02:42:46): Raquel feels the hit and grunts in pain it's going to pause her for a moment. "Damn got careless.."
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:11): One of the green units rushes forward after changing direction, and quickly interposes itself between the sub and Peola's new unit!
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:39): It guards itself with the shields and takes a heavily defensive position.
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:46): But is still cleaved in a single strike.
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:50): Unfortunately, your attack ends there.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:43:52): *And for her next trick, Sarah charges the Rathgirth (red one?) into pitched melee combat! She'll try to punch right through its stupid guns!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:54): (Cleaved, or more like pummeled into the surface it stood on. Which is the sub in question - but it still takes almost no damage from that.)
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:04): The Rathgrith quickly backs away, tracks in its feet giving it extra burst speed! You try to hit, but seconds later it is no longer there Sarah - it is aside of you, trying to take you down via sudden shotgun blast!
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:05): React.
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:13): Lamia, Ken, Kei, go now.
VJockey (02:46:32): [Cleaving through the sky, Crush the stone mountains.]
VJockey (02:46:39): "Comet Crash."
Ishikar3 (02:47:47): *Seeing the multiple units in melee Lamia becomes more selective. Aiming shots to destroy damaged or hampered units to allow her allies to focus on the more intact enemies.+
Peter Kampschroeder (02:47:50): *Sarah does not dodge. Or block, for that matter. She spins in place, turning into a high kick at that shotgun-a close-range parry meant to disarm the Rathgirth, or completely destroy its weapon.+
tormterra (02:48:41): * "My job is to support the rest of you...And, Asagi, I'll watch your back, go for the red unit before it can take down Sarah or move its attention." Following her word, she prepared to move to physically cover Blue-1 as it moved in for the kill. +
Meraxa (02:49:21): (Enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:33): The red foe's weapon is kicked to the side, and the blast fires wide astray...
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:54): Then it's forced to let go off the weapon - it flies off somewhere before exploding.
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:58): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x8, Gespenst mk II carrying Huckebeins x1, Rathgrith, Sorpesa x3, Fylgia x3
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:05): Also: Mysterious Submarine
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:15): (The Gespensts may pick up the dropped Huckebeins if you don't stop them)
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:42): Asagi can take his action.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:24): The best target of opportunity are two Gespensts who landed to pick up Huckebeins... and were so distracted by this task that suddenly they have arrows penetrating their bodies!
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:44): Unfortunately the Fylgia tanks take notice of that, and fire their linear cannons. Another barrage to react to, Lamia.
VJockey (02:52:26): #Lamia?
Meraxa (02:52:51): Ken: Stand Up! Scarlet shotels! *From beast mode to humanoid form, and then drawing the two blade weapons from ScarleTiger's 'Shoulders', Ken decides to try and cut in on some of the Gespensts. Around the torso, specifically+
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:12): Approved, Peola.
tengusaur (02:54:37): * "Alright. Give me the enemy's data, what you can make of it." Asagi takes off to the skies, starting to circle around the Rathgrith. He readies Blue One's missile launcher, sending a swarm of mini-rockets flying towards the heavily-armored unit... But that's mostly a diversion! Among the explosions, suddenly Blue One rushes at the enemy, stabbing at Asagi's best guess for its weak point with its armor-piercing spear, and then retracting it and spinning in a follow-up slash! +
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:45): The Gespensts won't take kindly to that, Ken. One of them is cut down, but the rest counterattack with shotgun blasts! React.
VJockey (02:55:19): "Okay.... lets see if I still remember how to do this..."
tormterra (02:55:46): Kei: "Right." As the pair moved, Kei started sending Asagi all the data on enemy movement and predictions of future movement that she had
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:04): The unit struck by Asagi takes on a defensive stance, hiding behind its shoulder shield which takes on most of the missiles - the spear damages the protective device pretty handily, on the other hand.
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:07): But watch out!
VJockey (02:56:43): *She unsheaths the sword once again, running a hand across the flat of the blade as it lit up with her Ki. The moment the brilliant glow grew to blinding she held it with both hands and swung it horizontally in the direction of the tanks - a sweeping lash of energy roaring from the sword!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:56): The Randgrith has a surprise for you - a small handgun, held in the other arm, aimed from under the shield and unleashing a swarm of micromissiles from its rotary pod.
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:57): React.
VJockey (02:56:59): -HORIZON EDGE-
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:44): Okay, disregard that Lamia.
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:47): The tanks are annihilated.
tormterra (02:58:09): #Asagi again
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:18): Approved.
Meraxa (02:58:28): Ken... decides he'll hook up part of the machine he just cut and use it for a makeshift shield against the shotguns as he falls back+
tengusaur (02:58:29): "I'm not going to fall for that!" Asagi quickly starts to disengage, moving backwards into the air - and stabbing his spear right into that gun, hopefully before all the missiles fire! +
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:21): Smart move Ken - you use that PT as a shield, and throw it away just before it explodes. You're safe.
tormterra (03:00:12): * Seeing the attack come, Kei chose not to rely on Asagi being faster than a gun already aimed at him at that short range. Instead she spun around to interpose herself again, following the movement up with firing her electrified spikes in hope of disrupting the systems of their enemy before it could get too many shots off. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:54): That was a risky maneuver - but seeing another unit converge on it, the Rathgrith decides to flee.
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:17): Asagi's spear does not connect with the gun, it only takes some of the missiles on itself (becoming damaged in the process).
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:27): The Rathgrith seems more interested in defending itself now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:44): But watch out - two of remaining Gespensts picked up some Huckebeins and try to flee with them!
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:51): Sarah and Asagi again, go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:11): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x4, Gespenst mk II carrying Huckebeins x3, Rathgrith (damaged), Sorpesa x3, Mystery Sub
tengusaur (03:07:11): * "Why are they so focused on getting the RTs?" The spear's blade is damaged, but Asagi can still use it to slash at one of the enemies trying to pick up the Huckebeins. Once again, disarming it is a priority. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:51): Remaining Gespensts make a defensive formation around the Huckebein carriers. That formation fires shotgun blasts and beams at Blue One - react.
tormterra (03:08:08): #Asagi yet again
Peter Kampschroeder (03:08:15): *Sarah: "Tch...Persistent, aren't they..." She takes a deep breath and settles into a stance, putting out that aura of stupid heat again. Tiankui dashes towards a Huckbein carrying genspenst, kicking up sand as she speeds forward-and goes into a strike on the unit's head, the fingers of her right hand extended and glowing white-hot.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:24): (Rejected, you've done a bit too much of that recently)
Meraxa (03:08:46): Ken: Considering what they've lost already, they're probably desperate for SOME victory (#Asagi instead?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:06): (Okay, fine. You can go.)
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:29): The Gespensts are busy with Blue One, which means Tiankui can secure grip on one of the carriers just as it was going to take off.
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:40): But here come the Sorpesa fighters, for another strafing run of beam blasts.
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:42): React!
Peter Kampschroeder (03:09:56): (Not a grip-she's going for a stab)
tengusaur (03:10:01): * "Tch...!" Asagi can't push himself here, Blue One already took too much damage. The AHSMB momentarily switches into survival mode anyway, trying to evade the incoming shots and using the shield to defense what it can't evade.+
Ishikar3 (03:10:26): #Sarah
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:29): (Got it)
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:31): Approved.
Meraxa (03:11:40): Ken comes rushing in to aid Blue One's defence. With what, you might ask? How about one of the transport vehicles for the Huckbeins, tossed in as cover? "Weren't really using this right now..."+
Ginkan SK (03:12:20): Raquel's taken s9ome damage but it could be worse. "Damn these guys are good." Gespensts ? Where did these machines come from who the heck got their hands on them but those questions can wait till later they got to be stopped.
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:24): The truck doesn't make for a good barrier, it's not even armored after all.
Ishikar3 (03:12:25): *Lamia notes the fighters moving in for a run at Sarah and intercepts their strafing path with one of her energy arrows, hopefully catching a clumsy pilot unaware but more interested in spoiling their attack run on the grounded unit.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:12): But it's good enough to be improvised cover for long enough! Blue One manages to avoid enemy attacks.
Peter Kampschroeder (03:13:14): *Sarah meanwhile will try to dash out of the way of the beam blasts as they come for her.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:19): One of the Sorpesas is penetrated by an arrow, Sarah evades the other two's attacks.
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:35): And yes, you managed to destroy that one Gespenst as well. Its head... and whole upper body in fact, is no longer there.
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:40): Peola and Raquel, move now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:03): Two Gespensts with Huckebeins remain - and they quickly make their way towards the sub.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:07): You can still stop them!
Ginkan SK (03:15:21): (which which ones are airborn?
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:51): Everything except the Rathgrith and the sub is airborne.
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:55): Enemies: Gespenst mk II x4, Gespenst mk II carrying Huckebeins x2, Rathgrith (damaged), Sorpesa x2, Mystery Sub
VJockey (03:16:38): "Someone take the other one out."
Ginkan SK (03:17:38): Raquel's got questions about these Gespenst an is going to go after another one now she's on the ground. She's gong to have to recall her hover unit which she's regetting ditching but that won't matter for the moment she looks up and attemps to leap grabbing one of the Gespenst that is making for the sub, trying to grab it and drag it down hard.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:16): The Gespenst's arms are occupied. But it can still shoot Slash Rippers at the offending Amazon. React, Raquel!
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:32): Also, you have secured a grab on it.
VJockey (03:20:00): *Peola charges off the surface of the sub and leaps at one of the Gespensts that were closing in on her previous position. Seeing as they needed the stolen goods in one piece, Peola abstained fromusing the blade... rather she focuses her Ki into the pommel of her sword and SLAMS it into the PT as hard as she could. Normally she used this attack to rattle the everloving hell out of opponents to leave them open to a follow up.. but this time? Punch a hole hard enough into the enemy to drag them down with her!+
Ginkan SK (03:24:57): Raquel is aiming to use the mass of her machine to help pull it down as she kicks in her thusters on the back of the machine to send them down normally used for space movment they might be of use here. She also attemps attain to use her vulcans but she's gong to take a hit snad hs knows it. "Sorry pal your not getting away with this!"+
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:59): Peola pretty much bursts her way through the Gespenst, leaving nothing but wreckage strewn around... and a Huckebein that is now flying to the ground. Better catch it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:16): Raquel takes some hits. Really serious hits - the mechanics won't like that. But the Gespenst is down!
VJockey (03:29:40): "ACK!!!!"
VJockey (03:29:52): [GRAB IT GRAB IT GRAB IT!]
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:12): Huckebein is safe! Now some irresponsible newbie pilot can wreck it safely.
VJockey (03:30:21): "Phew...."
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:28): It looks like the assailants had enough of it. The sub and the Rathgrith disappear under the waves!
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:55): The remaining Gespensts and Sorpesas fly away - while acting as escorts, ready to fire at whomever wants to engage the fleeing submarine.
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:57): Does anyone want?
Peter Kampschroeder (03:31:15): Sarah: "....Think I should?"
VJockey (03:31:29): "We should probably see them off."
VJockey (03:31:35): "Someone mind taking care of this thing?"
Meraxa (03:31:50): Ken: If we can take in a wreckage, we can examine it for data
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:51): (People who want to attack the enemies as they flee, @ now)
Peter Kampschroeder (03:32:09): @
VJockey (03:32:36): @
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:08): Go
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:33): Both of you, do your best!
Ishikar3 (03:33:51): *Lamia lands to take the Huckebein from Peolla, unfortunately she happens to crush part of one of the fallen units through a bit of careless piloting.+ Had to make sure the flight recorder for that unit was properly destroyed. I can't risk my mission being compromised so early.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:57): You sure are clumsy, Lamia!
Peter Kampschroeder (03:36:19): *Sarah takes a deep breath, calming herself. Gather the energy. Contain the destruction...That aura of hers gathers in a small ball in her hands, cupped at her hips. It glows brightly, like a little tiny star of its own.Focus it in one direction, and-she thrusts it forward with a yell, sending out a searing white beam of destruction towards the enemy sub. "Release!"+
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:21): Further damaging one of those downed enemies like that.
VJockey (03:38:48): *Not that Peola would notice anyway... handing the PT off, Peola now has both hands free for her sword, focusing more and more ki into it, unlike the horizon edge though... it was taking a lot of focus for Peola to keep the flow steady without it blowing her sword up... made more difficult to do given her machine's somewhat worn out state from being ofline for too long. Still.... Fighting like this again... it came naturally to her as she sank into the movement and flow... with a shout she thrusts the blade forward - launching a spear of ki right at the sub! "HAAAA!"+
VJockey (03:38:57): -CORONA LANCE-
Ginkan SK (03:39:16): Raquel it totally feeling it now she's reeling it really now, she moves to get up mutteirn about what a stunt that was but it seems to she's keeping an eye on the enemy unit's cockpit...
Meraxa (03:39:23): Ken: ...Incredible...
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:19): Sarah's attack hits the submarine! The beam starts to penetrate its outer hull!
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:36): And then it fizzles as the sub goes down deeper under the water. Still, damage is done - time for Peola to finish it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:16): Suddenly all your cockpits have someone appear on the main screens!
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:18): http://tinyurl.com/nsogket
VJockey (03:41:32): "....!!!!!!!!!!!!"
VJockey (03:41:42): [Oh...]
Meraxa (03:41:48): Ken: ...*Why does he have a bad feeling about this?*
VJockey (03:41:48): [Oh GOD NO!]
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:55): It's so sudden that Peola's aim is thrown off and the destructive beam flies way above the sub, not hitting anyone.
tengusaur (03:41:57): Asagi: "Huh?"
VJockey (03:42:09): [SHE KNEW WHY THAT MECHANIC WHO WAS WORKING ON HER GESPENST WAS SO FAMILIAR NOW!]
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:14): ???: "Ha ha! So there you are."
VJockey (03:42:22): "OURANIA!?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:26): ???: "I found you." The girl seems really happy about it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:29): Ourania: "Sister."
tormterra (03:42:44): Kei: "Who is she?"
VJockey (03:42:53): [Peola makes a choking noise, sputtering rapidly.]
Ginkan SK (03:42:55): Raquel "Sister?"
Meraxa (03:43:05): Ken: ...THIS IS YOUR SISTER?!
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:08): Ourania: "What are you doing on this backwater planet? I thought you were going to get married!"
tengusaur (03:43:17): Asagi: "..."
VJockey (03:43:21): "Like hell I was!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:25): Ourania: "Wasn't there a horde of suitors after you?" She shrugs.
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:35): "You'd expect to choose one of them by now."
Meraxa (03:43:37): Ken is suddenly sweating. Had he triggered some kind of flag by talking to Peola...?
tengusaur (03:43:38): Asagi: "Backwater planet. Peola... Are you an alien?"
VJockey (03:43:45): "...."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:51): Ourania: "Well. No matter."
Ishikar3 (03:43:58): Lamia: "Is she a friend or foe? What is the next objective for our mission?"
Ginkan SK (03:44:01): Raquel: "wait what... alien...?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:01): Ourania: "I'll just have to bring them all to you! Enjoy!"
VJockey (03:44:02): [Peola has a very bad grimace on her face Asagi.]
VJockey (03:44:08): [It got worse.]
VJockey (03:44:15): "DON'T YOU DARE YOU LITTLE TROLL!"
Meraxa (03:44:19): Ken: ...Oh damn.
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:20): Ourania: "Regalis Filia has been activated, so I know where you are now. Or should i say.."
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:26): "Everyone knows where you are now."
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:36): Ourania: "So, try to have fun! I see you didn't change at all."
tengusaur (03:44:46): Asagi: "Wait a sec~! A whole horde of..." His stomach is starting to hurt.
Meraxa (03:44:47): Ken: The key has turned in the lock...
tormterra (03:44:48): Kei "..." This wasn't going to end well, was it?
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:49): She winks and the main screen turns off.
Peter Kampschroeder (03:44:55): Sarah: "...Uh...huh."
VJockey (03:45:03): [Well this would be the point Peola would almost have the appearance of a statue if this were a tv show.]
