Mission 069 - Overload
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:09): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
cubey@aol.pl (05:13:46): The situation was peaceful... until right now.
cubey@aol.pl (05:14:18): The Macross was peacefully swimming around Atlantic waters near the dock of an undisclosed coastal city - taking supplies, though not without difficulty.
cubey@aol.pl (05:14:46): The difficulty in question being a group of protesters standing around on the deck and making things annoying for everyone.
cubey@aol.pl (05:14:58): Especially since they can see a city which is right there.
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:12): They just cannot go to it, forced to live inside Macross City instead.
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:19): Incidentally they are led by one Lynn Kaifun. Do you know him?
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:28): Anyway the relative peace has been interrupted!
Wyverncakes (05:15:41): Mizuki can fortunately say she's only heard of the man.
Wyverncakes (05:15:43): And no more.
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:55): A Zentradi cruiser somehow evaded its way past Earth's defenses!
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:58): It is coming this way!
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:18): Or rather - while maintaining a fair distance, it instead launches units to engage Macross!
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:21): Time to scramble!
VJockey (05:16:22): [Peola was a part of the security unit so damn if she doesn't have to deal with the crowd.
VJockey (05:16:25): ]
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:25): But what's this?
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:43): The crowd does not leave the deck and in fact obstructs a large part of Macross's landing strip.
VJockey (05:16:43): [Which makes things REALLY IRRITATING FOR HER because she has to get to the hangar!]
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:47): Good luck launching like that.
VJockey (05:17:18): "Oh for the love of the sun... IF YOU DON'T MOVE OUT OF THE WAY PEOPLE WILL DIE!"
tengusaur (05:17:21): Roger was around to help talking with the city leaders, and just in case the crowd gets too problematic. Which seems to be the case just now.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:17:23): "Dammit!" Dido shouts, pushing through crowd members to get to ShelLancer. "Everyone! Get off the deck now! Or you're going to die!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:17:46): "Peola!" She shouts. "Use your Ki powers! Outstage that Kaifun bastard or something!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:48): "Let us leave!" "Why are you keep us confined to Macross, the city is right there!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:08): The protesters' temperaments only flare up.
tengusaur (05:18:16): Roger: "You should listen to what the ladies say. They're not joking! Zentraedi are about to attack!"
drascin (05:18:19): Ashe gets up on top of a big box, and bellows at the protesters
Wyverncakes (05:18:20): Mizuki: "It's not our call to make and you know it."
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:22): They do not leave even as hostiles appear on the horizon.
Peter Kampschroeder (05:18:36): Gloval: "Of all the times..."
drascin (05:18:42): Ashe: "People! We're under attack! get to a refuge quickly! This is not a joke!"
Wyverncakes (05:18:44): "So the choice..."
Wyverncakes (05:18:54): The Abyss Empress began as the DuskBird formed, raising her up.
Wyverncakes (05:19:03): "... Is either stay there and risk dying."
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:18): Kaifun: "You are using this opportunity to silence the crowd? If you let them go home, we wouldn't be a target right now!"
Wyverncakes (05:19:24): "Or get to safety and live to hopefully see a day when the buerocracy does let you go."
VJockey (05:19:28): [Peola's teeth are grit...THAT IS IT.]
tengusaur (05:19:59): Roger: "If you want to stay here, so be it. But I wouldn't throw your lives away like that."
VJockey (05:20:02): [Channeling her ki she leaps absurdly high to land right in front of Kaifun and GRAB him by the collar, eyes glowing.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:12): By the way, deployment is possible because the protesters do not obscure EVERYTHING.
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:15): It's just much slower.
Peter Kampschroeder (05:20:23): Gloval: "All units! Ignore the protesters and launch on whatever runways are free!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:28): Kaifun: "!!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:20:29): "It's not our call, dude!" Dido grows, climbing up a gantry ladder. "Take it up with the Spacy bigwigs! Boycott their favorite coffee blend or something!"
Peter Kampschroeder (05:20:30): "We don't have time for this right now!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:40): As Peola's hand reaches out to Kaifun...
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:45): He grabs it!
drascin (05:20:48): Ashe: "Can we please argue this later? Those guys don't look like they're coming for coffee!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:01): Kaifun: "It is not like me to hurt a woman, however you were the first to raise the hand!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:16): Using your momentum against you, he proceeds to throw you to the ground.
drascin (05:21:18): (Ashe herself just needs to jump, so she can deploy whenever)
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:19): Peola, react!
tengusaur (05:21:26): #
VJockey (05:21:26): "!!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:30): Approved, Roger.
Wyverncakes (05:21:40): Mizuki grits her teeth at this.
Wyverncakes (05:21:45): "Ashe, we need to get going."
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:53): There is a growing circle of emptiness around Kaifun and Peola as protesters give you a wide berth.
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:01): Anyway the enemies are really close so you better get going!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:22:05): "Whoah." Dido says, as she straps herself in. "I guess he did do his own stunts…kick his butt, Peola!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:11): Kakizaki, Mizuki, you can launch!
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:14): Gloval can also move.
Wyverncakes (05:22:23): At the very least she knew herself and her Hunter wouldn't be impeded by the protestors.
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:25): But Macross's options are.... limited right now.
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:43): As for the enemies - you see some new units. As well as an old one, a commander with a custom paint job.
VJockey (05:22:48): *She hisses out a curse. She meets the ground, but in a quick movement rolls backwards in a flip to get back onto her feet, flicking her hair back away from her face.]
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:52): Regult
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/regult.jpg
Regult Light Missile Carrier
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/regult-lightmissile.jpg
Regult Heavy Missiel Carrier
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacross/regult-heavymissile.jpg
Nousjadeul-Ger
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/nousjadeul-ger.jpg
Nousjadeul-Ger (Commander)
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/nousjadeul-ger-quamzin.jpg
Queadluun-Rau
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/queadluun-rau.jpg
Queadluun-Rau (Commander)
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/queadluun-rau-milia.jpg
tengusaur (05:23:16): * Suddenly Roger moves in, trying to intercept Peola mid-throw before she connects painfully to the ground! And afterwards he lets her go and looks seriously as both combatants. "This is the worst time to fight right now."
tengusaur (05:23:19): +
frifreeman (05:23:20): Kakizaki: "Aww, enemy attack?"
frifreeman (05:23:34): Kakizaki: "But I just ordered a steak!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:35): Enemies: Regult x60, Regult Light x40, Regult Heavy x20, Nousjadeul-Ger x10 (Including the commander), Queadluun-Rau x15 (Including the commander)
Wyverncakes (05:23:46): * The DuskBird takes to the skies and switches to its Jet mode, heading straight at the Zentradi force! "... New enemies. Well let's see how this places out." The Abyss Gaze eye beams arc out at one of the Queadluun-Raus.+
VJockey (05:23:55): "I know it isn't... but if we can't get this idiot out of here these people are going to get caught in the crossfire."
Peter Kampschroeder (05:23:57): Hayase: "Valkyries, scramble! Runway #1 is blocked-use the others! Gun turrets, set up a defensive screen! Missile batteries, target the enemy formation!"+
frifreeman (05:24:19): Kakizaki:"We'll meet again soon steak."
VJockey (05:24:27): "My job's security... and damn if I won't do it and make sure these people are secure and away from the enemy!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:24:49): Dido boots up ShelLancer and looks around at the runway. "Nothing for it." She grunts, walking back and using her jump jets to leap off the runway's side.
frifreeman (05:24:53): Kakizaki runs toward the runway and enters his valkyrie
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:59): The Queeadluun-Rau units work in formation. They spread, and the Abyss Gaze manages to only nick Mizuki's unit!
Ginkan SK (05:25:01): Russel meanwhile is getting ready to go to and has deployed, his Gespenst is moving to take off at this point.
frifreeman (05:25:12): Kakizaki: "Vermillion three, launching!"
tengusaur (05:25:13): Roger turns around to leave quickly, but on the way whispers to Peola. "The people should scatter once it gets dangerous. If you want to help them, the best to do is deploy and fight the aliens."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:25:15): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUPFqibW1rA
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:33): The rest try to circle around the Duskbird and fire their impact cannons. React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:36): Also...
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:49): A small group of those new units, including the Commander ,actually stay back and do not engage you. What gives?
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yI3MUb0OpA
VJockey (05:25:57): [She takes a deep breath and nods. They better...]
VJockey (05:26:12): [She gives Kaifun an irritable glare as she gets moving.]
VJockey (05:26:24): "You better get these people somewhere safe you jackass!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:27): The fight between Kaifun and Peola was broken up by Roger.
drascin (05:26:41): Ashe just sighs, turns into Aeolus, and flies out of the hangar over the protester heads to meet the enemy force
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:43): Kaifun: "You are forcing them to stay here, isn't this your job to keep them safe?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:54): Despite his words, he lets you go.
frifreeman (05:27:02): Kakizaki flies toward the swarm of regult, do a barrel roll just for show, and opens the fight with a barrage of missiles!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:07): You can deploy but the crowd will still stick around.
drascin (05:27:22): Model A: Today is not going well.
Ashe: Let's just hope it doesn't get worse, Model A
cubey@aol.pl (05:27:52): As the Macross's VFs deploy, the swarm of Regults tries to engage it and launch their heavy missiles!
VJockey (05:27:57): "We're going to have to hit them as hard as we can before they get close..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:06): Some of them go down under concentrated anti-air gunfire, but the rest unleash their explosive payloads. Here they go!
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:10): React, Captain Gloval!
Ginkan SK (05:28:44): (crud can I get pose order again?)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:28:47): #Gloval?
VJockey (05:28:51): [Regalis Filia leaves the hangars and jumps as far away as it can towards the enemy lines!]
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:52): Approved, Dido.
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:04): Initiative order: Kakizaki, Gloval, Mizuki, Peola, Russel, Ashe, Roger, Dido
Peter Kampschroeder (05:29:05): Vanessa: "Pinpoint barrier team, intercept at block D-7 and F-8!"
Peter Kampschroeder (05:29:08): +
Wyverncakes (05:29:19): * Caught in crossfire, Mizuki switches to Bird Mode! "... Not just different looks, no less..." But the DuskBird has plenty of tricks up its sleeves too, and with great flaps of its wings the Abyss machine not only takes evasive maneuvers, but launches energized feather projectiles at the enemies!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:44): Kakizaki destroys several of the Regults easily, the rest scattering under fire from him and the battleship.
cubey@aol.pl (05:29:48): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:25): Some of the new arrivals open their missile pods. Projectiles threaten to destroy your VF from behind.
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:27): React, Kakizaki!
tengusaur (05:30:34): Roger: "I am here as a negotiator. Nothing more. But the one who keeps those people in a dangerous area right now is nobody else than yourself." While giving this off-the-shoulder remark to Kaifun, he quickly disappears inside the Macross. But he'll be back.
cubey@aol.pl (05:30:38): Peola and Russel, go!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:30:52): *"Kaifun, you Dumbassssssss!!!" Dido calls out, as ShelLancer does it's own spin on the Itano Circus! Arc Thorns fly out in spiraling arcs between the Macross and the Zentraadi missiles. "Lance Shock Lightning Barrier, discharging now!" With a jolt from her lance, the gaps between the Arc Thorns fill with sizzling lightning!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:04): The DuskBird takes down the damaged Queadluun Rau and damages another one - but it's a two way exchange! An impact shot hits it, not destroying anything serious but causing some damage regardless.
Ginkan SK (05:32:31): # Kakizaki
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:35): Approved Russel.
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:37): Can combine with action.
frifreeman (05:32:42): Kakizaki doubles back, and flies low above the ground, letting his vf's defensive laser shoots at the following missiles
Ginkan SK (05:32:44): Will do.
frifreeman (05:32:44): +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:32:54): Dido opens a channel. "This is Dido Sybil to the Macross! I should be able to put up a few more of those lightning rod obstacles wherever your defense is thin! Call me up when you need it!"
Wyverncakes (05:33:22): Mizuki: "Tch.... at least they're still just about as fragile."
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:33): Dido's arc thorns manage to make the missile massacre a bit more bearable, and the Macross' shield crews trackball their defenses where they are needed.
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:38): Especially since...
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:41): You have help.
Ginkan SK (05:33:52): Russel has just got into the mix of things and sees that Kakzaki is in trouble and this is where he gets into the mix he goes after the Regults as they jump hom rattling off fire from his M90 and a split missile to boot.+
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:53): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2kJe40cgkA
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:30): A blue VF-1J takes to the skies from Macross's hangar. Mid-air it transforms into gerwalk mode, destroys several of the missiles (and the Regults that shot them), then transforms back and continues going.
cubey@aol.pl (05:34:33): All in one swift motion.
VJockey (05:34:43): *Peola's going to take on the Regults and draw in as much attention as she can! Swinging her sword in a wide arc and sending a lash of ki through the air to catch as many enemies as she can with the Horizon Edge!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:35:55): (Russel, Kakizaki was under attack by the Quadluuns. Change the target to those?)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:36:33): Dido whistles. "Who's that guy?" She blurts out. "Those are some genius flight patterns..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:36:37): Max: "Max Jenius, deploying. I'll cover you!"
Peter Kampschroeder (05:39:00): Kim: "Ah, the genius deployed..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:17): Max: "I'm just a pilot doing his job..."
Wyverncakes (05:39:39): Mizuki: "And you have our thanks."
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:43): Despite his words, Max mows his way through enemy ranks, which allows your attacks to be extra effective in throwing them into disarray.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:04): Kakizaki is no longer in trouble thanks to him and also Russel, and some of the new units are down.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:27): That could've gone bad. No exploding for you today, Kakizaki.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:37): In fact you have the situation under control, it seems.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:44): Boom!
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:47): Something explodes.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:50): It's not on the Macross.
cubey@aol.pl (05:40:55): The city itself is under attack!
VJockey (05:41:07): "!!!"
VJockey (05:41:14): "Did they get behind us?!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:19): The dockside buildings suddenly start to submerge underwater.
drascin (05:41:24): Ashe: Whoa, what?
Wyverncakes (05:41:27): Mizuki: "Something did."
Ginkan SK (05:41:28): (ya I miss read it sorry)
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:28): People on the streets are panicking - you can see that even from here.
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:34): Also
Peter Kampschroeder (05:41:36): Gloval: "What on earth-!" Shammy: "Captain: S-Something weird is happening!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:41:55): The Nousjadeul Ger units are going towards the city to check out the commotion - but it wasn't them who caused this!
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:10): At the same time, the ace Quedluun Rau and its escorts move in to engage Max's VF!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:42:17): Dido: "!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:25): Max: "I have bogeys on six, I repeat." He starts immediate defensive maneuvers.
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:30): In short, the situation got complicated.
cubey@aol.pl (05:42:33): Ashe, Roger, Dido, go.
drascin (05:43:00): Ashe: Guys, I'll go down to check on the city, okay?
drascin (05:43:16): Ashe: We have to know what the heck did that!
Peter Kampschroeder (05:43:33): Hayase: "Take Rose Team with you as escorts."
tengusaur (05:44:07): Roger: "Allow me to help you with that!" Suddenly Big O steps in, emerging from between the installations, aligns its arms horizontally and fires two lasers from its eyes, guiding them over several Zentraedi units tailing Max! +
tengusaur (05:45:03): Roger: "The city wasn't attacked by the giants. Which means someone is taking advantage of the battle."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:45:22): *Dido curses. "And the hits keep on piling up." She takes aim at the nearest swarm of Regults, and fires another Arc Thorn barrage that she electrifies with her Lance to create a cloud of sparky death! "Yo! Look at me! I'm a threat you should focus on!" She waves ShelLancer's lance around. "What's the matter. You guys as chicken as the legs on your mechs?"+
cubey@aol.pl (05:45:45): The beams catch up with one of the Queadluuns, making it catch fire and disintegrate. The rest scatter in all directions!
VJockey (05:45:55): "Chickens... those are those tasty birds people say everything tastes like right?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:45:57): Max: "Thanks for the save. You really helped me out there."
drascin (05:46:01): *And indeed, Ashe zooms back towards the city, flying low - turning into Atlas and letting go a barrage of meteor shots that explode when she passes near the Zentradi battle lines, for screen and fire support. But her objective is finding out how things are at the city...&
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:05): The rest... except for the commander who is still after Max.
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:10): Max: "Persistent...!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:40): Also, some of the Queadluuns are now after the Big O. They try to get closer to Macross and surround the large Megadeus easily, firing their impact cannons.
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:50): There are civilians nearby! Take that into notice as they react.
cubey@aol.pl (05:46:53): *As you react
Wyverncakes (05:47:18): #
VJockey (05:47:20): #Big O and Civilians?
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:33): Peola is closer so she can have it.
tengusaur (05:47:50): Roger: "Quite agile... But I won't let you harm those people!" Big O raises its shielded arms, trying to protect the civilians and itself to the best of its ability. The Megadeus doesn't take a single step back! +
Wyverncakes (05:47:51): (Okay)
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:21): The Regults try to make their way out of Dido's arc thorn barrage - though several get fried as they are too slow.
VJockey (05:48:30): *Peola's going to resheath her sword and leap into the path of the shots to minimize the amount Roger has to deal with! Hopefully by doing that there will be even less to endanger the people on the ground!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:51): This is an issue for the micro missile carriers to solve. Suddenly they create another cloud of danmaku death for the ShellLancer to handle! React!
cubey@aol.pl (05:49:34): The Big O takes some damage... but it is sturdy, and also Peola protects your side! This means Regalis Filia is also damaged though.
cubey@aol.pl (05:49:47): The Queadluuns do not give up and are already prepared for another assault.
cubey@aol.pl (05:49:51): At the same time, with Ashe...
tengusaur (05:51:07): Roger: "Your help is appreciated. After this is over, I could let you find out how chicken tastes." While speaking to Peola he glances at the people down there. Are they still on the deck?
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:16): One of the Nousjadeuls didn't pay attention to a human-sized enemy from behind. Its pilot cannot even say "A MICRON?" before the unit explodes under faux Atlas's bomb assult.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (05:51:17): *"Me and my big mouth!" Dido throttles the ShelLancer into a run. "Thorn Grove Barrier…Deploying!" As Dido evades, she deploys more Arc Thorns that swirl around ShelLancer in a loose hemisphere! She electrifies them, creating a lightning shield to detonate missiles that pass by!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:00): However!
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:31): You notice that as buildings sink and people run for their lives, someone stands peacefully in the crowd and doesn't seem to mind the carnage at all.
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:45): ???: "So there you are."
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:46): http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/a/a7/Thetis.png/revision/latest?cb=20101204184414
cubey@aol.pl (05:52:52): ???: "Another Megaman."
drascin (05:53:44): Ashe lands, turns into herself, and glares
VJockey (05:53:47): "Just doing my job!... Won't pass up the chance at a good meal though."
drascin (05:53:51): Ashe: ...did you do this?
cubey@aol.pl (05:54:50): ???: "Humans are destroying the environment, spoiling nature and causing all kinds of destruction. Don't you agree?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:10): ???: "Isn't it only fair that their death serve the cause of restoring the damaged environment, then?"
drascin (05:55:10): Ashe: ...what?
drascin (05:55:22): THAT was a nonsequitor hard enough to derail Ashe
drascin (05:55:47): The next bit brings it into sense, though
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:48): The young boy sighs with a kind smile on his face.
Wyverncakes (05:56:00): Mizuki: "... I can assure you that the environment's done more to try to destroy me than I ever have to it."
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:16): ???: "What I am saying is that yes, I am causing this. Everyone here is a sacrifice for Model W, and for the new world."
Ginkan SK (05:56:18): Russel "This fightings' getting pretty thick."
drascin (05:56:24): Ashe: ...wait. You are feeding these people to a Model W to restore the envoironment?
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:26): ???: "Oh, my name is Thetis by the way. The holder of Model L."
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:31): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:39): Something springs up from the water behind you, Ashe!
drascin (05:56:40): Ashe: Are you crazy?!
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:51): Thetis: "I think you have your own problems to take care of for now, though."
tengusaur (05:57:04): Roger: "Behind you!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:57:32): The large Pseudoroid causes the air around itself to twist, as if slowing down time. Taking advantage of this effect, it unleashes a barrage of big, icy spikes - aimed at you Ashe, and also at the fleeing crowd!
Peter Kampschroeder (05:57:49): #ashe and crowd (via escorts)
cubey@aol.pl (05:58:13): Chronoforce: "Ha ha ha! I will manhandle them, Thetis!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:58:20): http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/d/d5/Chronoforce.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100801224143
cubey@aol.pl (05:58:25): Approved, Macross team!
cubey@aol.pl (05:58:54): Also Ashe react.
Peter Kampschroeder (05:59:21): *The Rose Team Valkyries shift into Battaroid mode, and begin shooting down all the ice-spikes they can-and, if need be, throw their own units in between the attack and the fleeing crowd.+
drascin (05:59:37): *Ashe had been expecting something like this. And so what Chronoforce is going to meet when he springs up? Is a bomb barrage courtesy of Atlas as Ashe whips around in a wink+
cubey@aol.pl (05:59:43): The missiles shot at Dido are mostly intercepted - but Macross's anti-air guns still fire and help take care of the rest.
cubey@aol.pl (05:59:52): The Regults decide to change their targets into aerial ones... for now.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:01:14): "Wait!" Dido shouts. "Come back! I'm a dangerous threat, after all…dammit!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:01:32): She's feeling the flyer envy. Yes she is.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:01:38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-ZzurdFCIU
cubey@aol.pl (06:01:53): The Valkyries destroy the spikes, and Chronoforce is thrown back by the bombs' explosions. It lands on the water's surface, making it freeze rapidly.
Wyverncakes (06:02:04): Mizuki: "Less of a chance that they'll endanger civilians."
Wyverncakes (06:02:08): "Try to bear with it."
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:15): Chronoforce: "I was tricked, by a lowly commoner?!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:23): However, at the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:41): The Nousjadeul squadron is unopposed and lights nearby buildings on fire by shooting at them!
cubey@aol.pl (06:02:48): There is no way this didn't cause casualties.
drascin (06:02:57): Ashe: !
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:08): Thetis: "Yes, yes. No matter the cause, every death serves as fuel for Model W."
VJockey (06:03:14): "?!"
VJockey (06:03:18): "Crap..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:03:23): Thetis: "You called me insane, but the truth is..."
VJockey (06:03:39): "Permission to break off and assist troops in the city!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:03:40): "I was trying to lure them away from the Macros…" Dido grumbles. "Alright, I'll abide it, Mizuki."
drascin (06:03:40): Ashe: Guys, I need some evac support here! These lunatics are targeting the civilians and I can't screen all of them!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:05): Thetis: "We planned these games for a long time, and then you come and act erratically. You are the insane one here. Megamerge!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:20): A block of ice suddenly engulfs Thetis and transforms him into his Megaman form!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:04:21): Dido's ears perks up. "I'm avaiable for support, Ashe! Where do ya need me?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:27): http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/a/a6/ThetisModelL.png/revision/latest?cb=20100826232337
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:39): Kakizaki, Gloval, Mizuki, go!
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:49): Enemies (Zentradi): Regult x36, Regult Light x27, Regult Heavy x15, Nousjadeul-Ger x9 (Including the commander), Queadluun-Rau x9 (1 damaged) (Including the commander)
Enemies (Megaman): Thetis, Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid (light damage)
tengusaur (06:04:57): Roger: "You might not be insane. But rotten and selfish are different matters entirely!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:05:08): Dido will find that Macross is a fair bit away from the city, and supporting from this distance will be difficult.
drascin (06:05:21): Ashe: Again with the game! I don't care about Albert's stupid game, Thetis! But I'm not letting you hurt all these people to feed to that.... thing!
tengusaur (06:05:38): Roger: "I'm going to help the people in the city, they need it. Big O is not built for an aerial battle anyway."
cubey@aol.pl (06:05:43): "So short sighted." Thetis shrugs and jumps into the water. He's really quick once under the surface!
Wyverncakes (06:05:55): Mizuki: "Best of luck then."
Wyverncakes (06:06:10): As important as defending the city was...
Wyverncakes (06:06:19): ... The Macross had a lot of fliers out and around.
Wyverncakes (06:06:30): And the DuskBird WAS meant for aerial combat!
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:03): Nousjadeul-Gers are in the city, Quadluun-Raus are after Max.
Wyverncakes (06:07:38): * Thus the machine shifts back into Jet mode... but not to merely open fire from a distance again! No, the machine's thrusters flare to life at full power and the DuskBird blasts at Regults with a barrier of Void energy enveloping it!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:51): Not to mention - despite all of this, the protesters are STILL on Macross's deck. Well, some of them.
cubey@aol.pl (06:07:59): You need to act quickly before more civilian lives are lost!
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyMnDwZK_v8
Peter Kampschroeder (06:08:52): Gloval strokes his beard for a second, thinking. "...Alright. Lasalle! Begin preperations to fire the macross cannon. Foxtrot team, Hotel team, go defend the city and support Unity Group fighters in the area. All other squadrons, engage the Zentraedi and attempt to herd them towards point JK-87!" As his orders ring out, the Valkyries in the city and approaching it begin close-range combat with the Zentraedi, while the Macross's guns and missile ports keep up their assualt on the flying enemies nearby.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:09:43): "…dammit!" Dido notices the civilians on deck, and switches on your loudspeaker. "What are you still doing here? Get below decks! You won't change anything if you get disintegrated!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:27): A group of Regults is caught in a dark explosion and obliterated.
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:46): The rest try to maintain their distance from the Macross - and fire missiles from afar at the DuskBird. React, Mizuki.
cubey@aol.pl (06:10:51): At least they all come from the front this time.
cubey@aol.pl (06:12:01): The VF squad engages the Nousjadeul-Gers at close range. Two of the Zentradi units fall down, their armor shot full of holes.
cubey@aol.pl (06:12:46): The rest however swiftly retaliate, flying between buildings and taking quick potshots with handheld, fast firing laser pistols. Their commander in particular acts the most aggressive, while also being the fastest and hardest to hit!
cubey@aol.pl (06:12:47): React!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:13:20): #Mizuki?
cubey@aol.pl (06:13:31): Approved, if you can do anything from this distance.
cubey@aol.pl (06:13:32): Also Dido.
cubey@aol.pl (06:13:38): "Let us go home!" "This is all your fault!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:13:55): Looks like the protesters with the courage to still stand on the deck are the most fanatic ones.
Wyverncakes (06:13:58): * This time, the DuskBird changes back into humanoid mode, unfurling its whip and lashing out at the projectiles as Mizuki has her machine dive away for safety!+
Peter Kampschroeder (06:15:35): *"Heh...let's show them what we're made of!" "Right!" comes the order from Rose Team's squad leader. His team shifts their Valkyries into fighter mode, blasting straight towards the Nousjadeul-Gers, then quickly switch to Battaroid once they pass the Zentraedi units, turn around, and start blasting away.+
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:22): Another Zentradi unit is destroyed and the rest scatters. However!
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:37): As their commander leaps aside to evade the passing by assault, he fires his laser pistol accurately.
frifreeman (06:16:44): Kakizaki: "I can't let you take the praise yoursef, can I?" Kakizaki flies high and follow Max from behind, before shooting the enemies that after him one by one.+
cubey@aol.pl (06:16:58): One of the Rose Team is turned into a burning wreck, the enemy ace standing above it looking almost... mocking.
drascin (06:17:31): (can I revenge # for that?)
Peter Kampschroeder (06:17:38): "Yuri! No!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:17:38): *"Fly low and I'll cover you, Zuki!" Dido calls out, throwing ShelLancer's arms wide. Arc Thorns launch from her shoulder towards the Regults, which she then zaps with her Lance to create another lightning net! Also, the firing of her lance creates a non-insignificant sonic, and the protestor's hair may or may not stand on end as a result!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:17:43): (Alright)
cubey@aol.pl (06:18:51): Kakizaki has the Quadluun in his sights. A quick burst of gunpod - and the unit goes down!
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:13): The rest break formation and slow down, trying to have you overtake them so they can fire missiles at you from behind. Again!
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:15): React, Kakizaki!
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:29): Max: "Kakizaki!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:19:40): He can't do a lot here because slowing down means he gets destroyed by the enemy ace.
drascin (06:19:44): Ashe: !
drascin (06:19:47): *Yeah, so turns out that standing smugly and above all still after killing someone is not a great idea. As The enemy leader is going to find out as suddenly the Model A Mega Man is all up on her face and lets go a barrage of lightning bolts locked on to each and every one of the mech suit's joints!+
frifreeman (06:20:46): Kakizaki: "Uh oh!" Kakizaki flips a switch and turns his fighter into battroid mode, before turning around and try to shoot as many missiles as possible with both his vulcan and defensive laser.+
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:37): The lightning net + whip combo causes a large array of explosions in front of the DuskBird.
cubey@aol.pl (06:21:46): However, Mizuki's unit itself is not hurt.
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:06): Dido - the constant barrage of Arc Thorns is putting a strain on the ShelLancer. You may run out of juice if you continue!
Wyverncakes (06:22:11): Mizuki: "I owe you one, Dido."
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:48): Kakizaki manages to shoot down missiles. But not all of them!
cubey@aol.pl (06:22:56): They are going right at you and then...
cubey@aol.pl (06:23:16): Max: "Just give me a second please!"
drascin (06:23:26): Ashe: I know why Thetis is doing this-
Model A: Because he's crazy.
Ashe: -yeah. But what is it with these guys?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:23:52): *"No prob!" Dido says, giving a jaunty salute. She frowns at her energy and ammo stores. "I've only got a few salvos left, though!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:24:04): Max's blue Valkyrie swings right by at full speed, the missiles being shot down. Not by him, but by the red Zentradi unit that is forced to either abandon pursuit or be hit by the missiles themselves - and decided to take a third option!
cubey@aol.pl (06:24:20): Max: "The enemy ace is obsessed with chasing me. We need to use this to our advantage."
VJockey (06:24:32): "Any ideas?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:24:53): Ashe's lightning attack causes the gloating Zentradi unit to suffer from a shock - but the effect is minimized because as soon as its pilot sees what is happening, he takes to the skies once again.
cubey@aol.pl (06:25:08): Thetis: "Are you sure you don't have more pressing business to take care of"
cubey@aol.pl (06:25:14): *?
Ginkan SK (06:25:23): Russel says "So your saying your bait? Can you lure them somewhere they can do less harm or we can ambush them, Max?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:25:25): You can feel explosions under the water. Close to you in fact.
cubey@aol.pl (06:25:38): Peola, Russel, Ashe, go now!
cubey@aol.pl (06:25:54): Max: "If you have a good plan, I am all ears!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:26:25): "Lure her into a trap!" Dido exclaims. "Max, if you can get the ace to chase you into the city streets, I could set up a minefield to shred him!" She frowns. "Do we know if enough civilians have been evacuated?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:26:34): Speaking of which, are the protestors still there?
cubey@aol.pl (06:26:53): The protestors remain in small numbers on the Macross, which is a fair distance away from the city.
drascin (06:26:57): Ashe: Yes! But I only have two hands and I'm surrounded by murderous jerks!
drascin (06:28:07): *Ashe jumps into the water without a second's hesitation. Most people might balk at pursuing someone into their own element, but Ashe is more the type to headbutt traps until they open. So down she goes, to check the situation underwater...&
VJockey (06:28:25): (enemy list?)
Ginkan SK (06:28:42): Russel dishes out a suggestion hopefully of help to Max while he's still dealing with the Queadluun-Rau's he's going after a new one making use of the plasma fire mode of his folding two way canon as he does so. +
cubey@aol.pl (06:29:00): Enemies (Zentradi): Regult x33, Regult Light x25, Regult Heavy x14, Nousjadeul-Ger x6 (Including the commander), Queadluun-Rau x8 (Including the commander)
Enemies (Megaman): Thetis, Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid (light damage)
cubey@aol.pl (06:31:21): Thetis: "Ha ha! You are a really straightforward person, aren't you?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:31:48): As Ashe leaps into the watery depths - you see Thetis in front of you. He stands still to charge a triangular wave of energy from his halberd, and shoot it at you!
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:08): At the same time Chronoforce fires off another barrage of icy spikes from behind you!
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:10): React/continue.
tengusaur (06:32:18): # Ashe
drascin (06:32:32): Ashe: And you're a jerk!
cubey@aol.pl (06:32:35): Approved, however note the distance.
VJockey (06:32:54): *Peola's going to chase after the Nousjadeuls! Lashing out with her scarf at one of them to drag them in and stomp them into the pavement with both her foot and sheathed sword!+
tengusaur (06:32:55): (Roger has been going towards the city all this time, as mentioned before)
cubey@aol.pl (06:33:37): The Quadluun is engulfed by Russel's blast of energy. It spirals down to the water and explodes.
drascin (06:33:59): &... and for all response to the assault, Ashe is going to turn into Atlas again and use her fire pists to FALCON PUNCH the fuck through Thetis's missile and straight towards him. You want straightforward? Ashe'll give you straightforward!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:34:09): Two others try to circle around you and fire a barrage of micromissiles - from two sides! React, Russel.
tengusaur (06:34:51): * There is another dark shape underwater too, slowly making its way towards the city. And now, it's suddenly behind Chronoforce! Big O grabs the crab-like robot with its arms, trying to keep it grappled and throw its fire off! +
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:09): The Nousjadeuls are not going to take it standing. As Peola starts to curbstomp one of them, the commander charges his back-mounted large plasma cannon - and fires!
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:28): Wait, that will hit both Regalis Filia and his own wingman!
cubey@aol.pl (06:35:29): React!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:35:58): #Peola?
cubey@aol.pl (06:36:08): Chronoforce: "The tidal wave of tomorrow will end this era of... what the?!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:36:12): Too far away, rejected.
VJockey (06:36:45): "!?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:13): Chronoforce is suddenly grabbed by Big O and out of surprise his attacks fly astray. The water evaporates around Ashe as she charges forward - and takes damage from the enemy shockwave attack, but also manages to slam her burning fist into Thetis.
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:31): Thetis: "Ow! That hurt!" He quickly regains balance underwater, but it's obvious that he felt that one, and a lot.
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:39): Thetis: "But it only makes things more interesting, right?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:37:56): Roger and Dido can move now however.
VJockey (06:38:12): *Oh that is just LOW! Peola switches from stomping the unfortunate foe into the ground to pure defense, wrapping her sword in her scarf and hunkering down. Her previous victim would find himself surprisingly being defended by the enemy who was trying to kill him.+
drascin (06:39:15): Ashe: Thanks for the backup, Roger!
drascin (06:39:45): She lands atop some of the underwater rubble. As a heavy Megaman Atlas kind of cant swim
tengusaur (06:39:59): Roger: "It took me a moment to arrive. I think you caused enough tidal waves in this city already!" Big O keeps moving forward, at a surprisingly speedy pace, and while it goes, it punches Chronoforce with its right fist several times, while holding him with the left hand! The last punch, which happens after both of them emerge from the water, is aimed to send the robot flying towards one of the attacking Zentraedi suits! (and not any buildings, we don't need more collateral here) +
cubey@aol.pl (06:40:07): Peola's Regalis Filia takes more damage. The unit is tough but the enemy is also very powerful. Still, you hold your ground... and the foe you just attacked, while damaged from before, now is either too shocked or possibly grateful to try to backstab you and does nothing.
cubey@aol.pl (06:40:08): For now.
cubey@aol.pl (06:41:35): Chronoforce: "You lowlife!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:41:50): The Pseudoroid protests as he's being pummeled, and thrown out of the water, and into the air!
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:00): However as it flies off towards a Zentradi unit, suddenly... it disappears.
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:31): Instead, icy stalactites appear in its place, some shooting at the Nousjeadul (destroying it), some at Big O! React!
Wyverncakes (06:42:37): Mizuki: "What the...?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:42:44): Chronoforce himself reappears around the dock on the water's surface a second later.
Ginkan SK (06:43:15): Russel "That's one...Why do they keeo doiung this? I don't get it..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:43:28): *Dido launches some of her remaining Arc Thorns, planting them in a small roadway near the Macross. She sends a data packet to Max's VF indicating the location of the trap. As for the Regults and Nousjadeuls, she waits for a group of them to cross the path of ShelLancer's upper chest. She turns a dial and slams a button down! "Shell Flak, discharging!" Hypersonic ball-bearing fire straight up from ShelLancer's armor plates!+
VJockey (06:43:55): "If you can understand me... Get out of here... quick."
cubey@aol.pl (06:44:22): Chronoforce: "Do you think the name Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid is just for show?!"
VJockey (06:44:25): "Either he'll end up shooting you again or you'll get shot by someone on my side if you keep fighting.."
VJockey (06:44:30): "Go!"
tengusaur (06:44:32): Roger: "Do you think I'm just a petty ruffian? Let me show you your mistake!" Big O raises an arm to protect itself, while firing its eye beams at the incoming icicles instead, to melt them! +
cubey@aol.pl (06:45:12): The non-melted icicles (which is some of them) are now stuck in Big O's forearm shield. It looks kinda strange.
cubey@aol.pl (06:45:59): The Regults are pelted by flak. It's very effective - but it also causes them to move further towards the city as they retreat!
cubey@aol.pl (06:46:15): In addition...
cubey@aol.pl (06:46:24): Max: "Alright, this looks like a good plan. Let's do it!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:46:40): Max: "Everyone who is able to, please get ready to get this one off my back!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:47:00): His blue Valkyrie flies towards Dido's trap, the Qudealuuns (except the two that fight Russel) in hot pursuit.
cubey@aol.pl (06:47:09): Kakizaki, Gloval, go.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:47:48): @Max?
cubey@aol.pl (06:48:02): (Still need a reaction from Russel)
cubey@aol.pl (06:48:15): Approved! Also everyone else who wants to contribute to the incoming trap setting-off, can also @.
cubey@aol.pl (06:49:10): The Nousjadeul-Ger that Peola spoke to has its camera move to sides in a quick, desperate fashion.
Ginkan SK (06:49:12): (I'm looking x.x)
cubey@aol.pl (06:49:12): As if not sure what to do.
Wyverncakes (06:49:28): "Least I can do for you, Dido."
cubey@aol.pl (06:49:31): (Two others try to circle around you and fire a barrage of micromissiles - from two sides! React, Russel.)
cubey@aol.pl (06:49:42): Finally, the Zentradi drops the laser pistol and the unit goes limp, pretending to be downed.
Peter Kampschroeder (06:49:58): *Claudia: "Captain, preperations to fire the Macross Cannon are complete." Gloval: "Good. All units, clear the area! Missile arrays and cannons, restrict the enemy's movement!" The Macross's massive shoulder pylons are locked into their forward position, and a beam of absurd energy arcs out towards the main enemy formation.+
Wyverncakes (06:50:17): * As the trap is poised to be sprung, Mizuki swings out the DuskBird's whip... intentionally aiming high, but low enough that this pilot's going to be herded closer to those mines!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:50:24): Only two of the enemy ace's wingmen are now active!
Ginkan SK (06:51:19): Russel finds he's got missiles coming for him he launches some Chaff and goes on the evasive s hes' got time for little else!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:51:41): "C'mon, c'mon!" Dido rushes ShelLancer into position, couching her unit's bulky lance under it's arm. This might be it's last burst of energy, but Dido's gonna make it a good one!"
frifreeman (06:51:57): Kakizaki: "I'll herd them over there, don't worry" Kakizaki flies behind Max and the enemies that are chasing after him and fires his vulcan at the two remaining enemy wingmen.+
cubey@aol.pl (06:52:03): The chaff missile explodes, making enemy micro missiles miss their mark - from one side.
cubey@aol.pl (06:52:15): From the other you start evasive maneuvers, but some of the missiles bombard the Gespenst's armor anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (06:52:24): Still, for someone used to Katina's yelling, this is nothing!
cubey@aol.pl (06:52:56): The Queadluuns chase after Max, who flies right over the trap.
cubey@aol.pl (06:52:59): Max: "Now!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:54:01): With a sudden whip smack boxing them in closer, the enemy formation is suddenly under attack - by Kakizaki from behind, and by arc thorn electroshocks - from below!
cubey@aol.pl (06:54:26): Three of them go down (the two left are a different unit type)
cubey@aol.pl (06:54:44): The four others are damaged in various ways, because they manage to lift up in time.
cubey@aol.pl (06:54:47): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (06:54:52): Kaifun: "What is going on?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:55:19): He looks up from the deck, at the massive pylons... and is quickly forced to shield his gaze as a huge, blindingly bright beam is shot out.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (06:55:26): *"I've giving this my all! Lance Shock…Discharging!" Dido shouts, energizing the Arc Thorn trap!+
cubey@aol.pl (06:55:43): It flies through the air, ionizing everything in vincinity... and creates a giant fireball in the middle of the Zentradi force.
cubey@aol.pl (06:55:48): The Regults had no chance.
cubey@aol.pl (06:55:58): They are all wiped out.
cubey@aol.pl (06:56:35): Max: "There's my chance!"
cubey@aol.pl (06:57:06): His unit turns into Battroid mode, uses the now-present legs to kick off a building - and shoot at the enemy ace from above while cartwheeling behind the unit!
cubey@aol.pl (06:57:31): The Queadluun-Rau commander is heavily damaged.. and decides to quickly escape while engaging in evasive maneuvers!
cubey@aol.pl (06:57:40): Enemies (Zentradi): Nousjadeul-Ger x4 + 1 disabled (Including the commander), Queadluun-Rau x3 (damaged)
Enemies (Megaman): Thetis (damaged), Chronoforce the Xiphosuroid (heavy damage)
cubey@aol.pl (06:57:43): Mizuki, Peola, Russel, go.
Wyverncakes (06:58:20): Mizuki: "So much for the Zentradi..."
Wyverncakes (06:58:56): So it was time to turn her attention towards the Mega Man and his pet fist thing.
tengusaur (06:59:29): Roger: "Don't undererstimate their aces. They are still in the air... And I don't think they'd understand a pledge to surrender."
Wyverncakes (06:59:54): Mizuki: "I wouldn't waste my breath on one to them."
Wyverncakes (07:00:42): ^pet fish.
drascin (07:00:49): Ashe: I really, really would like if we fought people who surrendered, just once
VJockey (07:01:01): *Peola's going to quickly move after the Nosjadeul leader. With how he's willing to kill his own troops... bastard was scum. Maybe if she took him down the rest would leave. She doesn't bother unsheating her sword as she leaps after the zentraedi leader!+
VJockey (07:01:14): *Into the air and swings her weapon at him
cubey@aol.pl (07:01:47): The commander backs off with a sudden burst of his thrusters, only enough to evade your attack - and counters with a short ranged barrage of handheld laser! React!
VJockey (07:02:14): "Tch... Get over here!!!"
VJockey (07:02:35): *She's risking more damage to drag the bastard in with her scarf and headbutt him!+
Wyverncakes (07:03:16): * But the DuskBird shifts targets again, this time focusing down the Chronoforce instead! "And as for you two... this world has grown and developed how it has. The law of the nature is that the strong establish their own order in this world..." The DuskBird's arm is enveloped in darkness again as it charged at the Xiphosuroid! "Any legitimacy you have is lost on your hypocrisy and double standards... so... ABYSS SANCTION!"+
Wyverncakes (07:03:45): The machine thrusts out an outstretched palm, a pillar of black, consuming energy launched at Chronoforce!+
cubey@aol.pl (07:04:26): Regalis Filia is in a very serious condition right now, the damage meaning it barely stands...
cubey@aol.pl (07:04:31): But the ace didn't expect that, at all.
cubey@aol.pl (07:04:54): You grab him, and suddenly the laser barrage is directed at the scarf as he tries to shoot himself free!
cubey@aol.pl (07:05:06): The mighty headbutt sends the machine flying back, its pilot stunned!
cubey@aol.pl (07:06:11): Chronoforce: "Then we will become strong enough to establish the new order ourselves! Like an unstoppable tsunami wave, I will wash you away!"
VJockey (07:06:28): [Yeah... that damage means its all Peola can do to keep her machine standing... but... totally worth it.]
cubey@aol.pl (07:06:44): In a last ditch attempt, Chronoforce fires more ice needles, while trying to hide under his shell.
cubey@aol.pl (07:06:47): React, Mizuki.
Wyverncakes (07:07:09): A fish.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:07:14): Dido, her energy reserves exhausted, tries to rush over where the action is. "Dammit…even if I can only club things…!"
Wyverncakes (07:07:14): Trying to hide from a preying bird.
Wyverncakes (07:07:20): How fitting.
Wyverncakes (07:09:05): * "Shield yourself with all the water you want, Darkness thrives in your depths!" The DuskBird suddenly switches back into jet mode, hurtling INTO its Abyss Sanction energy with increased speed... before continuing head on through those needles to Chronoforce himself!+
cubey@aol.pl (07:10:46): The Void energy is now surrounding the DuskBird itself! As the unit charges, the ice needles are disintegrated by its assault. And then...
cubey@aol.pl (07:10:57): Chronoforce: "No! My time has not yet come! Agghaaa!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:11:17): DuskBird cleanly flies right through the Pseudoroid. Shell or not, there was no protection this time.
cubey@aol.pl (07:11:21): It explodes behind your unit's back.
cubey@aol.pl (07:11:43): Thetis: "So much for Chronoforce. Oh well..."
cubey@aol.pl (07:11:47): Ashe, Roger, Dido, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (07:11:51): Russel can still go too.
tengusaur (07:12:01): (what enemies are left?)
cubey@aol.pl (07:12:10): Enemies (Zentradi): Nousjadeul-Ger x4 + 1 disabled (Including the commander), Queadluun-Rau x3 (damaged)
Enemies (Megaman): Thetis (damaged)
Wyverncakes (07:12:10): Mizuki: "And disregard for a follower who shared your desires and beliefs."
cubey@aol.pl (07:12:26): The Zentradi commander is damaged too.
cubey@aol.pl (07:12:35): Thetis: "I cannot just break down into tears now, can I?"
cubey@aol.pl (07:12:42): Thetis: "There is enough water around me already."
Wyverncakes (07:12:51): "I wonder if Chronoforce would've followed you..."
cubey@aol.pl (07:12:53): He notes playfully.
Wyverncakes (07:13:01): "... if he'd known how you would regard him after his death."
drascin (07:13:05): Ashe: Thetis, you've lost. Stand down and leave your Biometal. You can't win this.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:13:27): *Dido runs towards Peolia and the Zentraadi ally-killer. Jumping and swinging with her lance, she tries to knock the stunned commander out of the air!+
cubey@aol.pl (07:13:38): Thetis: "Let me think... no, I don't think so. In fact you've been doing a big favor for me all the time."
drascin (07:13:40): And while Thetis is distracted answering that, she whispers very quietly into her comm
cubey@aol.pl (07:13:54): Thetis looks down.
cubey@aol.pl (07:14:00): Deep down, in the watery depths, lies... something.
drascin (07:14:23): Ashe: He's distracted and you guys can come now. I'll keep him busy, destroy the Model W
cubey@aol.pl (07:14:30): It seems like just a giant pile of collected scrap, but it shines and sparkles with power.
cubey@aol.pl (07:14:52): This is no ball of useless metal. Deep inside... hides Model W.
tengusaur (07:15:02): Roger: "So that is the Model W? Allow me to take care of it..."
cubey@aol.pl (07:15:29): Thetis: "Model W... you received so much power thanks to all the deaths those people have caused!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:16:08): As Dido's ShellLancer moves in forward with heavy steps, suddenly two other Nusjadeuls block its path! They stand and fire with their laser pistols.
cubey@aol.pl (07:16:10): react!
Wyverncakes (07:16:32): # Dido?
tengusaur (07:16:33): * Big O descends into the water again. The Megadeus sinks like a rock, but that's the point here right now! While goind down, Roger moves his machine's fist back, ready for a strike, the piston in its arm moving back to gather energy... And as soon as he lands next to the scrap pile, he smashes into it from above with a Sudden Impact! +
VJockey (07:16:35): #Dido
cubey@aol.pl (07:16:45): Approved Peola, who is much, MUCH closer than Mizuki.
Wyverncakes (07:16:50): (Alright)
VJockey (07:17:09): "!!"
drascin (07:17:50): *And so, since Roger will be moving in towards Model W, let's give Thetis something to think about. That something being Aeolus suddenly jetting towards him with a cross slash at his chest! Better block that if you don't want to turn into cheese wedges, Thetis!+
VJockey (07:18:33): *Peola rushes in to swing at the incoming blasts with her sword to deflect as many as she can.. but with the damage that she took... still... she was a proud princess of Magnolys! Even if she ran away! Once more Horizon Edge! The Ki surges during her deflecting swing at the enemy weapons to give Dido a better chance!+
VJockey (07:18:48): "I'm sorry about the extra work you'll have to do Dido!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:19:22): *"You've haven't got a chance!" Dido snarls, slamming down a fist on her Panic Button! "Now fly up, Peola! Shell Flak…Discharging!" Enjoy a point-blank mecha-shaped minefield, Nusjadeuls!+
cubey@aol.pl (07:20:29): Peola takes a stand - and even though it is heavily damaged, Regalis Filia holds!
cubey@aol.pl (07:20:45): It stands its ground, until the barrage is over and the unit falls down, disabled and unable to fight anymore.
cubey@aol.pl (07:21:07): But this allows Dido to fire the shell flak - at point blank.
cubey@aol.pl (07:21:30): The Nousjadeuls explode under the barrage, since they were so close.
cubey@aol.pl (07:21:44): The ace one sees what is coming and already takes to the skies - despite being unable to act just a moment ago!
cubey@aol.pl (07:21:49): Still, it is pummeled severely as well.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:21:50): "Peola!" Dido cries out, throughing up a hand to shield her eyes. "Peolllaa!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:21:53): Heavily damagd, it tries to flee!
cubey@aol.pl (07:22:25): As a matter of fact, it flees really quickly. The other, disabled Nousjadeul stands up.
cubey@aol.pl (07:22:51): Its pilot gives Regalis Filia a quick look. You know, despite having no more handheld weapons, it still has the cannon on its back.
cubey@aol.pl (07:23:09): But instead of attacking, it flies away, following its commander that tried to frag it.
cubey@aol.pl (07:23:17): At the same time...
cubey@aol.pl (07:24:20): Thetis spins the halberd, trying to have it act as a block against Ashe's attack - and seemingly counter-strike at the same time, but that was only a feint, a feint from which he follows on with a dash attack!
cubey@aol.pl (07:24:31): Is he trying to block and strike simultaneously? React, Ashe!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:26:51): Dido bends her unit down over Regalis Filia. "Peola? Talk to me! You alright in there?" Mecha Mechanic skills activate? Is Regalis Filia's cockpit block still intact?
Wyverncakes (07:27:45): Mizuki: "Dido! Peola!"
Wyverncakes (07:28:18): The DuskBird tries to get back over to the two as quickly as possible, hoping that she was still alright after that...
cubey@aol.pl (07:28:31): Despite all the damage sustained, the cockpit is unharmed. Regalis Filia remains a unit whose purpose is to protect its owner first, after all.
drascin (07:28:32): *It's not a bad maneuver, really. Block, feint, jump back, and then with the gained distance dash attack. However, There are two points that Thetis is going to find very pressing as he charges Ashe with his dash attack.
drascin (07:28:38): Point one: Suddenly, between one blink and the next, Ashe becomes MUCH larger and better armored, as her newly transformed shape blocks Thetis's trajectory entirely.
drascin (07:28:43): Point two: BIFROST ELBOW DROP+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:29:02): Dido lets out a sigh of relief. "She's fine, Mizuki! Just a bit battered, I'm guessing!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:29:27): Thetis's eyes suddenly grow wide as there is a crocoroid in his face.
cubey@aol.pl (07:29:29): "No!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:29:34): Then...
cubey@aol.pl (07:29:51): Roger's sudden impact slams into Model W. From the inside, it explodes, sending shrapnel in all directions!
cubey@aol.pl (07:30:17): "No! This is no longer interesting, why are you..." He gets the elbow drop, which pins him down to the sea floor.
cubey@aol.pl (07:31:02): Silt is thrown in all directions under the force of Ashe/Bifrost's impact.
cubey@aol.pl (07:31:19): But... Thetis still stands, is barely.
cubey@aol.pl (07:31:22): *If
cubey@aol.pl (07:31:37): Thetis: "No! You do not understand. Why must you make everything so complicated?"
cubey@aol.pl (07:32:06): He flees - not on foot, but disappears as if teleported away.
cubey@aol.pl (07:32:33): Still, he left something behind. Thetis' data - you know what that means, right Ashe?
tengusaur (07:32:34): Roger: "...I think I understand what we just stopped here well enough. Enough to know it's a good thing."
drascin (07:32:35): Pain time?
cubey@aol.pl (07:32:42): You'd be correct.
cubey@aol.pl (07:33:07): Ashe is suddenly in tremendous pain!
cubey@aol.pl (07:33:21): But with that pain, comes another message from... you should know well by now.
drascin (07:33:45): Ashe braces as much as she can, but still can't avoid screaming. This hurts like hell
cubey@aol.pl (07:34:14): "This is the last cipher. You, who know everything about the plan."
cubey@aol.pl (07:34:24): "You have earned the right to receive the ultimate Biometal."
cubey@aol.pl (07:34:47): "Sleeping model Ws everywhere feed on fear of humans. They wait for their day of awakening."
cubey@aol.pl (07:35:22): "And when they awaken, all will combine into one. The ultimate Biometal will be born."
cubey@aol.pl (07:35:24): "Its name..."
cubey@aol.pl (07:35:27): "Is Ouroboros!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:35:55): "The one who holds the Ouroboros will evolve, become more than mere fusion of man and machine."
cubey@aol.pl (07:36:19): "I seek to become the ultimate Mega Man."
cubey@aol.pl (07:36:23): "My name is Master Albert."
cubey@aol.pl (07:36:38): Master Albert: "And I decide how things are going to be."
cubey@aol.pl (07:37:20): Master Albert: "You, who will usher in a new life in a new world - I hope that one day my research will pave a way. A way to a new course of evolution."
cubey@aol.pl (07:37:25): The message ends here.
cubey@aol.pl (07:37:29): And so did the battle actually.
cubey@aol.pl (07:37:42): With the last enemy ace retreating, the remaining few Zentradi followed the lead.
drascin (07:37:45): Ashe wheezes, standing up
cubey@aol.pl (07:38:12): The enemy has been defeated. But not flawlessly.
cubey@aol.pl (07:38:31): All around you, buildings are smoking or sunk and you can see wrecks of destroyed units.
cubey@aol.pl (07:38:36): The fight has claimed many lives.
drascin (07:38:48): Ashe: ...Ouroboros... so that's Albert's plan? Make the Mega Men fight each other to feed the model Ws and then use them himself to turn into... whatever that is?
Model A: ...so that's why we were created... why you can megamerge with me...
tengusaur (07:38:56): Big O slowly raises from the ocean again.
drascin (07:38:57): And here is where Ashe spittakes
cubey@aol.pl (07:39:01): Dishevelled and dirtied, Kaifun stands atop the Macross deck, looking around and frowning.
drascin (07:39:09): Ashe: ...WHAT was that, Model A!?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (07:39:40): Dido looks around. "…dammit." She hisses. "They're just gonna keep attacking the Macross, aren't they? We need to move it to a desert region or something!"
cubey@aol.pl (07:40:01): It is not sure what is he thinking at the moment. But for once, he says nothing.
cubey@aol.pl (07:40:03): A small blessing.
drascin (07:40:09): Model A: ...I'm sorry. I can't tell you yet.
Ashe: You what?! Model A! What do you mean you can't tell me?!
drascin (07:40:29): Ashe is kind of arguing at herself underwater. Someone might need to calm her down
tengusaur (07:40:34): Roger: "I got rid of Model W. A small blessing, all things considered."
tengusaur (07:40:42): Roger: "Ashe? What are you talking about?"
cubey@aol.pl (07:40:54): MISSION COMPLETE
drascin (07:41:10): Ashe: This twit knows something and he says he can't "tell me yet"!
tengusaur (07:43:14): Roger: "...We'll have to talk to him then. I hope he can at least hear the rest of us."
drascin (07:45:02): Model A: I'm sorry! It's just-!
Ashe: I don't want to hear it!
drascin (07:45:25): And with that, Ashe gets out of the water, reverts to her human form, and waits for someone to pick her up
