Mission 098 - From the Bottom of a Dark Abyss

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (21:33:55): The Relic Durandal is in transit. Apparently the Second Division headquarters was deemed unsafe for storing such a dangerous artifact.
cubey@aol.pl (21:34:14): Because of that, a safehouse was prepared.
cubey@aol.pl (21:34:55): The convoy consists of one and only one car - but it is not alone. The escorts are there, and that is you.
cubey@aol.pl (21:35:08): Your mission - make sure Durandal makes it to the safehouse.

VJockey (21:37:18): "...So I'm just going to ask the obvious question here."
Aero (21:37:26): Theo: "Yeah?"
VJockey (21:37:37): "Is Durandal a code name? Or is this thing the actual Durandal?"
tormterra (21:38:13): Kei: "Who knows? Could easily be."
tengusaur (21:38:17): Asagi: "Knowing how relics are, probably the latter."
cubey@aol.pl (21:38:21): Ryoko: "We wouldn't call it like that if it wasn't the real Durandal, now would we?"
Aero (21:38:23): Theo: "I believe it is supposed to be the actual Durandal, at least based on Professor Sakurai's notes."
cubey@aol.pl (21:38:49): The Division's prime scientist is in the car. So is Hibiki - deemed trustworthy enough to sit next to her as a bodyguard.
griefgathering (21:39:09): Tsubasa isn't saying anything here. What happened a while back with Hibiki is still on her mind, and the two haven't been able to work together well at all since then.
VJockey (21:39:12): [Calvin remains silent before letting out a very nervous laugh. Clearly anxious about being present close to such an object.]
cubey@aol.pl (21:39:13): But not trustworthy enough to carry the armored briefcase with Durandal inside. That's Ryoko Sakurai's job.
Wyverncakes (21:39:26): Hibiki's still in civilian attire though, but still trying to be serious and alert in case anyone were to try to attack.
cubey@aol.pl (21:39:28): (Other on foot people can also be in the car, though I assume a certain Sword is driving her bike)
tormterra (21:39:33): Kei: "Durandal is medieval, not as ancient as these things appear to be."
griefgathering (21:39:44): (We'll just go with that)
Wyverncakes (21:40:00): And not only that, but also sparing the time to look at the briefcase every once in a while just to be safe.
Wyverncakes (21:40:30): Yeah it's in the back of Ryouko's car, but it never hurt to double-check! Or triple or quadruple or whatever number she was on now
cubey@aol.pl (21:40:36): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (21:40:40): Ryoko: "Hmm? What is that, I wonder?"
cubey@aol.pl (21:40:45): She looks to the side.
cubey@aol.pl (21:41:15): The road you are travelling currently goes through some kind of refinery or other industrial complex.
Wyverncakes (21:41:22): Hibiki: "Eeh...?"
tormterra (21:41:59): Kei: "I'll try to identify it."
cubey@aol.pl (21:42:09): And in the complex's narrow passageways, something shining and human-sized just stared at you, before retreating deeper into it.
VJockey (21:42:29): "....Should we turn around...?
VJockey (21:42:30): "
tengusaur (21:42:53): Asagi: "...A Noise?"
cubey@aol.pl (21:42:56): Ryoko: "Nonsense. We'll just have to drive straight to the safehouse!"
cubey@aol.pl (21:43:03): Ryoko: "... Though I'm afraid it won't be so easy..."
tormterra (21:43:08): Kei: "I don't think so...But there should be alternative routes possible.2
cubey@aol.pl (21:43:10): Kei detects Noise on the road in front of you.
cubey@aol.pl (21:43:20): Including large, mecha-sized Noise.
VJockey (21:43:40): "Can't we have someone fly the car to the safehouse?"
tormterra (21:44:24): Kei: "Noise ahead. We'll need to divert the route before it's too late."
tengusaur (21:44:25): Asagi: "Flying Noise are a thing too, you know."
Aero (21:44:32): Theo: "I think that'd make it more of a target."
cubey@aol.pl (21:45:02): Ryoko: "We'd have to turn and go a long way around, now... is this an ambush, I wonder?"
cubey@aol.pl (21:45:23): Ryoko: "I'm counting on you, UG~"
Wyverncakes (21:45:32): Hibiki: "M-Miss Ryouko?"
VJockey (21:46:01): "...."
tormterra (21:46:12): Kei: "We have the time for a long way, it'll be much less of a problem than an ambush."
VJockey (21:46:15): "They are..?"
cubey@aol.pl (21:46:27): Ryoko: "Don't lower your guard now, Hibiki-chan. I am sure more of them are lying in wait."
cubey@aol.pl (21:46:35): She sounds rather carefree about this.
cubey@aol.pl (21:46:44): Regardless, the car slows down and makes preparation for turning back.
cubey@aol.pl (21:46:57): This causes the Noise in front of you to advance. You can get a visual on them, even people without Kei's sensors.
VJockey (21:47:06): [And now Calvin sounds extremely worried. His OSI-Genoace raising its rifle and backing off slowly.]
cubey@aol.pl (21:47:12): Enemies: Giant Noise x4, Soldier Noise x20, Blob Noise x30
cubey@aol.pl (21:47:26): Initiative: Tsubasa, Asagi, Kei, Theo, Calvin, Hibiki
cubey@aol.pl (21:47:32): Tsubasa and the MJPs, go!
griefgathering (21:47:38): Tsubasa tries to pay all this no mind; her bike accelerating past the stopped car.
griefgathering (21:47:49): Tsubasa: "I'm engaging."
griefgathering (21:48:24): Tsubasa: "Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri tron..."
griefgathering (21:48:30): http://www.mmcafe.com/nico.html#http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17269243
griefgathering (21:49:43): *Instead of just jumping off straight away, the sword-wielding Symphogear user actually uses her bike as a mount, drawing two blades as she rides by to cut off the smaller Noise's advance.+
tengusaur (21:49:59): Asagi: "I'll attack the big ones." Blue One rushes forward, flying low above the ground. Not being able to reach the enemies in melee range yet, Asagi instead opts to pull out the heavy machinegun and fire a long barrage at one of the giants, moving diagonally to limit the enemy's dodging field! +
cubey@aol.pl (21:51:42): Tsubasa cuts her way into the crowd, her bike bisecting Noise where they stand!
cubey@aol.pl (21:52:18): She made an opening in the enemy ranks - but while still moving forward, the small on-foot Noise try to fill it up, turning into spears that lunge themselves on the bike and the Relic User!
cubey@aol.pl (21:52:19): React
Wyverncakes (21:53:05): Hibiki: "Tsubasa! Watch out!"
Wyverncakes (21:53:46): She'd rush to the idol's defense herself, but she couldn't leave Durandal and Sakurai alone with so many Noise out there.
cubey@aol.pl (21:54:23): A multicolored barrier appears in front of the Giant Noise, though Asagi overpowers it and makes the enemy stumble back from damage it takes!
tormterra (21:54:32): * "Calvin, keep the small ones off Asagi. I've marked the ones most likely to target him along with locations to scatter them and break their formation. Theo, present some form of barrier for the noise to reach the car before Hibiki is ready. If you can without blowing up the car or one of the other passengers. +
griefgathering (21:54:44): *Tsubasa's response? Bike slide (tm)! The vehicle's tires screech as she attempts to slip under the spears and cut up the ones that still haven't had the chance to turn themselves into projectiles!+
cubey@aol.pl (21:55:02): The giant quickly strikes back though - taking a few steps forward (with the Noise walking sound as usual), it extends something similar to a spear from the inside of its clawed hand, aiming straight at Blue One's cockpit!
cubey@aol.pl (21:55:03): React.
cubey@aol.pl (21:55:34): Calvin and Theo, take your actions.
cubey@aol.pl (21:55:51): Especially since...
cubey@aol.pl (21:56:12): Suddenly, from the side where you spotted shining figures - large purple objects bounce towards the car!
cubey@aol.pl (21:56:35): They resemble grapes, if grapes were the size of beach balls. One of them tumbles to the side and as soon as it strikes a factory wall, it explodes!
cubey@aol.pl (21:56:42): Others go straight for the car!
tengusaur (21:56:50): * Asagi dodges to the side in a sudden change of trajectory, drawing his katana with the same gesture and slashing at the spear, to cut it and/or throw it off-aim. +
cubey@aol.pl (21:56:58): (Passengers react - including Theo's Kei action thing, probably)
tengusaur (21:57:14): Asagi: "...They're going for the car!"
Aero (21:57:29): Theo: "Good thing I got a heads up."
Wyverncakes (21:57:50): "Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron.."
VJockey (21:57:51): *Calvin's going to try thin out the amount of those bouncing grape bombs with his shoulder Vulcan! No idea if he'll be fast enough but he's going to try!+
VJockey (21:58:01): "Drive! DRIVEDRIVE!
VJockey (21:58:11): Get out of there before they explode!"
Wyverncakes (21:59:34): * And as soon as Hibiki is transformed, she grabs hold of the Durandal case in one hand and offers her other to Sakurai! "Hold on, please!" She doesn't want to risk the grape bombs blowing up in her face, but she can at least get the important things and people out of the car though!+
Aero (21:59:51): * "Understood." Theo raises his swirly glasses and points his hand towards the direction of those objects. "Elder Sign!" A large magical pentagram that rejects all otherworldly life forms in the way of the Grape Noise. "And now, Cocytus." The moment they reach the emblem a massive freezing wind surrounds the Noise, timed with Hibiki's activation of Gungnir to stop all of the approaching Noise. +
cubey@aol.pl (22:00:51): A few of the oversized grapes explode against the Elder Sign, with Calvin's bullets causing preemptive detonations - though Kei's data was aimed at on-foot Noise, not this kind of enemy, so he finds it useless (and his aim less precise).
cubey@aol.pl (22:01:23): Right in time though, Theo stops the barrage with extra freezing, while Hibiki gets Ryoko - and the case! Out of the car.
cubey@aol.pl (22:01:32): In the side street you see a single human-sized Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (22:01:37): Grape Noise
http://i.imgur.com/CgMPA9J.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (22:01:54): Some of its grapes are missing but it already starts to retreat deeper towards the complex!
Aero (22:02:12): Theo: "H-hey get back here!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:02:21): Both Tsubasa and Asagi cut down the attacking spears. They seem to have the initial Noise group under control.
cubey@aol.pl (22:02:46): More Noise come out of the walls near the Grape Noise. Types you did not see before
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:04): New enemies; Grape Noise, Slug Noise x20, Grappler Noise x10
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:11): Theo, Calvin, Hibiki, go!
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:17): Noise (Blob, Soldier, Slug, Grappler)
http://upic.me/i/x0/symphogear-noise-group.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:44): (Brown are blob, blue are soldier, green are slug, other green are grappler)
cubey@aol.pl (22:04:08): Ryoko: "Well, that was a bit unnecessary, wasn't it? But I appreciate the thought."
cubey@aol.pl (22:04:14): She looks at the (totally unharmed) car.
Wyverncakes (22:04:30): Hibiki: "I didn't want to risk it..."
Wyverncakes (22:04:44): Very much a sheepish confession.
griefgathering (22:04:45): "More of them..." Tsubasa tries to keep an eye on Ryoko and the case as well. Her bike comes to a stop now.
tengusaur (22:05:13): Asagi: "I've never seen those types before. What about you, Tsubasa?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:24): Ryoko: "There there." She pats Hibiki's head.
VJockey (22:05:37): *Once more in his now absent of explosives Genoace, the most Calvin can do is try to clear out as many noise as he can with his rifle! Given the size of his bullets compared to the smaller noise... maybe he could nail several at once?+
Wyverncakes (22:05:53): "But now I'll keep you and Durandal safe!"
VJockey (22:06:28): "Do I even want to know what these things would want with a mytha-magical sword?!"
griefgathering (22:06:30): Tsubasa: "Neither have I. They must be putting everything on the line for this."
VJockey (22:06:37): [Silly Calvin, that's not a word.]
Aero (22:06:42): * Theo exits the car and takes a look at the Noise slipping out of the walls. "At least they aren't Hounds..." Theo slips his glasses back on and raises an arm again. Another magical emblem appears behind him and a massive red fist erupts out from it and claws at the Grape Noise and anything near it. +
Aero (22:06:59): Theo: "Their natural enemies are the Relics."
Wyverncakes (22:07:06): * Trying to keep an eye on the good professor all the same, Hibiki surges forward with a quick dash, pulling back one of her arm pistons to deliver a shuddering punch to shake up the Noise's ranks!+
cubey@aol.pl (22:07:08): The enemies are small, but they are also hiding in places that make it hard to aim! Several of the Grapplers and Slugs are hit, large holes torn into them as they disintegrate with an audible sigh.
cubey@aol.pl (22:07:25): The Slugs' long tentacles suddenly extend, crossing a long distance to try to get at the Genoace!
cubey@aol.pl (22:07:26): React!
cubey@aol.pl (22:08:23): The Grape Noise leaps into the air, evading Theo's huge red fist that splatters several normal Noise instead.
cubey@aol.pl (22:08:36): Hibiki starts to disrupt their ranks severely, destroying them one by one.
Aero (22:08:50): Theo: "He's quick for a pile of fruit..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:08:54): But while it's mid air, the Grape Noise throws more of its grapes! They bounce towards the on-foot combatants.
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:04): React!
VJockey (22:09:05): *Seeing the incoming limbs and remembering things he would very much rather forget, Calvin's sending his Genoace in a backwards boost, firing his vulcan at the incoming limbs while keeping his shield held over his cockpit!+
VJockey (22:09:15): "Goawaygoawaygoawaygoawaygoaway!"
Wyverncakes (22:09:50): More grape bombs coming her way! But Hibiki thinks back and..
cubey@aol.pl (22:10:13): Calvin cuts off tentacles belonging to two of the small Noise. The rest strikes his shield - and the tentacles come out on the other side, just very slowly. They cannot pass through solid matter quickly. This allows you to get away.
Aero (22:10:56): * "ABRA..." Theo leaps back and raises his left arm at the incoming Grapes. "HADABRA." And unleashes a massive bolt of lightning that tears through the air towards the dangerous fruit approaching him. +
Wyverncakes (22:11:04): * "If I can knock them away without touching them... then they can't hurt me!" She pulls her piston back again, trying to gauge the bombs before... "Now!" She punches out again, piston firing and releasing a pulse to detonate the bombs prematurely!+
Wyverncakes (22:11:05): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFdAMsTTprs
griefgathering (22:11:15): *A number of swords form in mid air and rain down against the grapes coming towards Tsubasa. Hopefully she can detonate them before they get too close.+
VJockey (22:11:34): [Calvin's just going to visibly cringe and let out a yelp at the sight.]
cubey@aol.pl (22:11:43): (Ah, only Theo and Hibiki were under attack actually, my bad)
cubey@aol.pl (22:12:23): The grapes are struck by electricity and detonate mid-air!
cubey@aol.pl (22:12:49): As for those that were going towards Hibiki - they burst, turning into more Blob and Soldier-type Noise!
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:05): Your piston punch eliminates a group of them, but the rest surround you from the sides and the back!
Wyverncakes (22:13:34): Hibiki: "Ah! Miss Ryouko!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:39): The Grape Noise seems mostly fruitless now, pardon the pun.
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:43): Tsubasa, Asagi, go.
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:59): Hibiki can see that Ryoko is getting into the car again, preparing to drive off.
tengusaur (22:14:43): Asagi: "Are those... Noise eggs?"
tengusaur (22:15:54): * Blue One continues its assault at the wounded giant Noise, reaching it with a single long leap, and slashing downwards with its katana - and then following up with a horizontal strike, for an an X-shaped cut! +
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:26): The giant noise is quartered, individual pieces carbonating before they even fall to the floor!
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:46): But while it's within reach, two other Giants try to slam at Blue One with their pincer hands!
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:47): React.
Aero (22:17:37): #Asagi?
cubey@aol.pl (22:17:43): Approved.
griefgathering (22:18:41): *Tsubasa turns her bike around. She changes her sword's mode to its larger one and heaves it in a wide diagonal swing - letting loose an Azure Flash aimed at the Noise closest to Ryoko's car.+
tengusaur (22:18:50): Asagi: "Tch... Could use some support here!" He backs away from the incoming claws, firing several small missiles at them in a single barrage to cover his escape. +
cubey@aol.pl (22:19:41): That'd mean the Noise around Hibiki - you can slice them all in one swing!
cubey@aol.pl (22:19:53): However it possibly means hitting Hibiki too - are you sure you want to do this, Tsubasa?
Aero (22:20:15): * "Got it!" Another pair of magic emblems form near Blue One before Zs-a-Wia's clawed fists emerge from them again and meet the pincer hands head on, attemting to rip through them to halt their attack on the rabbit. +
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:52): One of the Giants stumbles from the missile rain, and then a clawed hand rips through its form. The attack on Asagi is now reduced by 50%, and he easily evades the lumbering hulk.
griefgathering (22:22:37): If Tsubasa can help clear the path with that, why not.
griefgathering (22:23:00): She'll try her best to aim regardless.
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:08): Alright then. All those Noise are cut through - but now Hibiki has a blue energy wave coming (roughly) her way.
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:10): React!
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:36): Also the Grape Noise is mostly open, though it is trying to hide again while regrowing its bombs/Noise spawners.
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:49): Theo and Calvin go, Hibiki also go (after the react)
Wyverncakes (22:25:36): * That energy wave... that's Tsubasa's attack, and dangerously too close for comfort! But Hibiki dives to go under the attack where she can.+
tengusaur (22:26:09): Asagi: "That worked well enough. Thanks."
cubey@aol.pl (22:26:25): The attack is NOT aimed at you (Tsubasa had her stint with attempted team kills already), so Hibiki ducks quickly enough!
Aero (22:26:39): Theo: "Whew, I was worried i might have been too slow."
VJockey (22:26:52): (Enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (22:27:03): Enemies: Giant Noise x2, Soldier Noise x5, Blob Noise x10, Grape Noise, Slug Noise x8, Grappler Noise x4
Aero (22:27:25): Theo: "Hibiki, I'm going to try to lock down that Grape Noise. Can you take him down for me once I catch him?"
Wyverncakes (22:27:38): Hibiki nods! "I can certainly try!"
tengusaur (22:27:40): Asagi: "Not as slow as some people I worked with."
VJockey (22:30:17): *Calvin's going to keep trying to clear out the small fry, sending a few more rounds at the Blob-types!+
Aero (22:33:49): * "Alright, I'll do my best then." Theo backs away from the Grape Noise and starts channelling a spell. "Now get it!" The Magus gives the signal to the others as a massive dome of gravity comes crashing down on the Grape to pin it in place for Bikkie. +
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:14): The Grape Noise was still jumping, but now it is suddenly pinned down by extreme gravity!
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:30): It is prone and an easy target!
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:55): However the remaining on-foot Noise won't have it. Calvin shoots down the Soldiers and Blobs, who were open targets while on the highway.
cubey@aol.pl (22:35:22): But the four Grapplers run towards Theo, hoping to grab and carbonize him - with the Slugs soon after. React!
tengusaur (22:35:51): #
VJockey (22:35:54): #Theo?
cubey@aol.pl (22:35:57): Approved, both of you
Wyverncakes (22:36:50): * Pinned down, Hibiki wastes no time at all! She charges in to kick down hard into it from above! "Haaaaaaaaa!"+
tengusaur (22:37:09): Asagi: "Close to a human-sized target... I need to be careful..." He pulls out Blue One's light laser pistol, aims carefully at the Slugs that are still further away from Theo, and tries to thin out their ranks. +
VJockey (22:37:40): *Calvin's quickly drawing the revolver that was his Genoace's sidearm and carefully tries to send a pair of shots at the slugs!+
VJockey (22:37:49): [But just in case...]
VJockey (22:37:53): "Get out of there!"
Aero (22:40:44): * "Don't get ahead of yourself." Theo's tone changes to a rather sinister one and his golden eyes seem to gleem for a moment. Without a need to channel another massive dome of gravity crashes down around Theo to completely stop and destroy the incoming Noise. +
cubey@aol.pl (22:41:56): Asagi and Calvin quickly thin out the incoming group. The Noise numbers grow smaller by the second...
cubey@aol.pl (22:42:22): and then the whole bunch is attacked by another gravitic dome, and smashed down into a two-dimensional form.
cubey@aol.pl (22:43:01): There are no obstacles between Hibiki and her target - her punch hits the Grape Noise, which barely manages to do anything before it turns black and disintegrates into a sad pile of carbon.
cubey@aol.pl (22:43:36): With only two Giant Noise remaining, Ryoko's car can back off and drive off unobstructed.
cubey@aol.pl (22:43:51): ???: "Where do you think you're going?"
Wyverncakes (22:44:10): Hibiki: "Huh?"
Aero (22:44:11): And then Theo quickly snaps back to his old self. "Ah, we need to keep up with them!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:20): A glowing chain whip out of nowhere suddenly cuts through the highway - and the car as well, destroying its engine and most of its front half!
tengusaur (22:44:21): Asagi sits there quietly for a moment. He didn't expect this. "Was my support here really needed?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:31): Ryoko: "... Oops."
VJockey (22:44:42): "The noise can talk?!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:49): On the road in front of her car stands a single human sized enemy.
Aero (22:44:49): Theo: "Oh no!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:54): That's because it's not a Noise. It's a human.
cubey@aol.pl (22:45:03): A human girl, wearing something you may find familiar.
griefgathering (22:45:07): Tsubasa: "...!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:45:08): Nehushtan

Aero (22:45:34): Theo: "Isn't that..."
Wyverncakes (22:45:51): Hibiki: "It's a person...!"
griefgathering (22:45:52): Tsubasa: "Nehushtan?! How did she...?"
Wyverncakes (22:45:56): MIND BLOWN
Aero (22:46:14): Theo: "We need to help Professor Sakurai."
griefgathering (22:46:27): This is triggering all sorts of memories from that day.
griefgathering (22:46:39): Tsubasa grits her teeth.
tengusaur (22:47:24): Asagi: "What are you doing! We're trying to fight off the Noise here!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:47:34): Nehushtan girl: "Ohh? Trying to play hero now, are you?"
Aero (22:47:58): Theo: "Is there a problem with that?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:48:38): "Feel free to do whatever. Once I take what I'm here for!"
Wyverncakes (22:48:47): Hibiki: "But the Noise are an enemy to everyone!"
VJockey (22:48:52): ['Something about this dame feels... off. Not just the whole carving a car's engine block out of it like it was a turkey... but I just can't put my finger on it...']
cubey@aol.pl (22:49:29): Nehushtan Girl: "What do you know about Noise?"
Aero (22:49:32): Theo: "Unfortunately for you it's our job to keep that Relic safe."
cubey@aol.pl (22:49:49): "Yeah, we'll see about that!"
VJockey (22:49:51): "They kill people in really horrible ways?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:49:58): She raises a staff-like device, and fires several beams.
cubey@aol.pl (22:50:10): They are not aimed at you nor at the car, but rather just at the ground.
cubey@aol.pl (22:50:17): And wherever they hit, more Noise appear!
Aero (22:50:22): Theo: "!"
tengusaur (22:50:25): Asagi: "You..."
tengusaur (22:50:31): Asagi: "You're summoning them!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:50:40): "Wow, so you're not entirely dumb after all!"
VJockey (22:50:45): [Calvin lets out something of a yelp before choking it back and trying to regain his composure.]
tengusaur (22:50:57): Asagi: "The Noise kill innocent people! Why do you do this?"
VJockey (22:51:23): "...We can ask her when we take her in."
cubey@aol.pl (22:51:34): Nehushtan girl: "Shut up!"
VJockey (22:51:34): "No way she'll answer us before."
cubey@aol.pl (22:51:53): "What do you even know, about innocence and what people and Noise are doing?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:51:56): "Nothing!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:52:25): Tsubasa, Asagi, go.
tengusaur (22:52:31): (enemy list?)
Aero (22:52:32): Theo: "We know that generating more Noise doesn't help anyone."
VJockey (22:52:38): "Says the one dressed up like she's from the seventies with a monster summoning gun."
cubey@aol.pl (22:52:42): Enemies: Giant Noise x2, various small Noise x40, Nehushtan Girl
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:24): Nehushtan: "Afraid? Why won't you step out of that oversized tin can and say it to my face!"
Aero (22:53:34): Theo: "She's got you there."
tengusaur (22:53:42): Asagi: "And what do you know?"
VJockey (22:53:54): "...Well why don't you get rid of your little friends and maybe I'll consider it!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:54:33): Nehush-tan: "With Solomon's Cane, the Noise are just my tool! But not as big a tool as you guys are!"
griefgathering (22:54:51): *"I know enough about the Noise. And what to do with someone who is responsible for them!" Tsubasa charges forward with her bike, but this time, she leaps off it as it heads towards the Nehushtan wearer!&
Aero (22:54:57): Theo: "Solomon's Cane..."
Aero (22:55:12): Theo is wracking his brain, trying to remember if he's heard anything about it.
VJockey (22:55:55): "... What the heck does a pulp fiction character have to do with this?!"
Wyverncakes (22:56:08): Hibiki: "Tsubasa!"
Wyverncakes (22:56:11): # Nehushtan
cubey@aol.pl (22:56:16): Approved!
Aero (22:56:21): Theo: "I'd take her seriously Inspector."
tengusaur (22:56:30): Asagi: "What is she even talking about?" He can't really attack the girl in a nonlethal way. But what he can do is launch a powerful jump into the air, trying to get a good trajectory at one of the giant Noise... And then drop down right on its back, hitting it with the AHSBM's feet and stabbing into it with his spear in a powerful thrust! +
Wyverncakes (22:57:03): As Tsubasa moves in to attack, Hibiki charges as well, but to try to plead with her! Maybe it's just bad vibes or remember how Tsubasa was before but...
VJockey (22:57:43): "No. Seriously. The only Solomon Kane I heard about was a person written by Robert E. Howard. If Solomon had an actual Cane you'd think there'd be more information about it."
VJockey (22:58:53): "... But either way... take her down and yank that thing out of her hands... the noise are out of her control right?"
Wyverncakes (22:58:58): * "Tsubasa, she's another human being! We can't just... fight her like you're going to!" She tries to grab onto Tsubasa from the side to hold her back!+
Aero (22:59:01): Theo: "You...need to read more often, I don't think it's that Solomon."
griefgathering (22:59:20): Tsubasa: "...!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:59:33): Tsubasa finds her attack suddenly disrupted by Hibiki's attempt at UNDERSTANDING!
griefgathering (22:59:52): Tsubasa: "What are you doing?! This is a battlefield!+
Wyverncakes (22:59:54): "We can just get that Cane away from her try to talk!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:08): Nehushtan girl :"What are you doing?! This is a battle!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:23): "Heh. I see we're going to get along together!"
griefgathering (23:00:49): Tsubasa finds this equally amusing.
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:54): She jumps back, her armor's long whips lashing towards Tsubasa, trying to cut her down!
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:55): React.
griefgathering (23:01:02): In a very twisted manner.
Wyverncakes (23:01:16): Hibiki winces at that double scolding.
VJockey (23:01:17): "Well there's only three Solomons I know and-"
VJockey (23:01:22): #Tsubasa
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:25): Approved.
VJockey (23:01:30): "FLARE!"
VJockey (23:01:44): *Calvin fires off a flare from his launcher right at the Zehustan girl+
VJockey (23:01:51): *Nehustan
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:06): At the same time, Asagi starts stabbing at the Giant Noise. It can't throw himself off its back quickly enough!
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:14): Blue One skewers the giant on its spear. One down, one to go.
griefgathering (23:02:45): *Seeing those things coming, Tsubasa opts to roll off to the side to avoid them, and then launch herself forward once there's an opening to strike. Her sword is at the ready!+
griefgathering (23:03:51): Tsubasa: "That's one thing I can agree on. However...!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:04:20): "Ghh!" The Relic wearer closes one of her eyes and averts the gaze with the other, but despite being partially blinded, she ducks under Tsubasa's blow, lifting herself back up as soon as possible and cartwheeling away.
cubey@aol.pl (23:04:24): She is very fast!
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:03): "Tch! I'll have to keep the rest of you entertained, as well!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:12): She quickly fires the Cane, summoning larger Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:30): One of the newly-summoned Giants already raises its arms and tries to slam them down on Blue One.
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:33): Also
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:46): In addition to Giant Noise, she summoned some new, unusual looking ones.
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:50): There is four of them and they surround Hibiki.
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:57): Bird Noise
http://i.imgur.com/QYuq3ur.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:02): Theo, Calvin, Hibiki, go now.
griefgathering (23:06:08): Tsubasa: "Kh!"
Aero (23:06:24): Theo: "This is bad, we're being seperated."
griefgathering (23:06:32): Well, Nehushtan IS a complete Relic. This is going to be a tough fight...
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:43): Enemies: Giant Noise x6, Bird Noise x4, various small Noise x40, Nehushtan Girl
Wyverncakes (23:06:48): Hibiki: "Tsubasa..."
Wyverncakes (23:06:55): And more importantly, that other person!
Wyverncakes (23:07:10): How'd she even gotten the Relic? Why did she act like they weren't really trying to be heroes?
tengusaur (23:07:32): Asagi: "What is going on over there? Watch out~!" He quickly analyzes the situation on the other side of the battlefield, but before he can react to it, he's attacked by another giant Noise. He tries to jump back and use his spear to pin its arm to the ground! +
VJockey (23:07:55): *Too close a distance to make full use of his rifle... so Calvin is going to stick with his revolver, quickly fanning that hammer at the Giant Noise to send as many rounds as he could!+
VJockey (23:08:12): "Then we've got to solve that quick!"
Wyverncakes (23:08:15): * But if it was Noise though, then she wouldn't worry about holding back or UNDERSTANDING! She picks one of the bird Noise at random and charges, swinging her hands down in a clumsy hammerfist to smash that big neck!+
VJockey (23:08:45): "If you've got some kind of magical solution up those sleeves of yours I'm all for it!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:08:56): The jump back was unsuccessful - Blue One is staggered by a sudden blow!
cubey@aol.pl (23:09:04): Fortunately the attack did not penetrate through its armor.
cubey@aol.pl (23:09:43): Calvin fires at one of the Noise time and time again - it takes notice of him and moves forward, slowed down by each shot but, while damaged, still moving. It enters melee range - and thrusts with its pincers! React.
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:10): The Bird Noise does not try to dodge Hibiki.
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:22): Instead, it fires some kind of sticky ooze at her!
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:28): And the others join from different directions!
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:33): React.
Aero (23:11:35): #Bikkie?
tengusaur (23:11:37): Asagi: "Tch... As long as she has that staff, she can just call more Noise."
Wyverncakes (23:11:40): Hibiki: "Aaaaaa?!?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:42): Approved.
Wyverncakes (23:12:09): * On reflex Hibiki tries to curl up and protect herself! Not exactly the smartest ploy, really. More like the dumbest.
Aero (23:12:54): * "Elder Sign!" As the sticky ooze approaches Bikkie it'll find itself stopped by a large pentagrams that shine brighter than ever before. +
VJockey (23:12:59): *Crapcrapcrap! Calvin was trying to reload when that was happening and does his best to duck under the thrusts as the spent casings fall to the ground and lash out with his Genoace's combat knife. It was no heat stake. Just an oversized chunk of sharpened metal. And Calvin was going to put all his trust into it as he stabs forward!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:34): The pentagram blocks some of the ooze.
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:54): However Theo's defense is rudely interrupted!
cubey@aol.pl (23:15:48): "Don't you know it's rude to interrupt? Get lost!" The Nehushtan girl spins one of her whips - suddenly a ball of black and white crackling energy is generated on the end, and she sends it towards Theo!
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:04): React to the black hole attack (and take your action)!
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:13): NIRVANA GEDON
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:09): The Giant Noise claws start pummeling against the Genoace's armor. But after denting it, they start phasing through it!
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:27): Calvin stabs the Noise, causing its torso to start blackening... the claws get closer and closer to the cockpit.
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:37): But then the Noise's integrity enters critical and it is done for.
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:40): That was really close.
VJockey (23:18:32): "......."
tengusaur (23:19:11): Asagi: "Inspector! Are you okay?"
Aero (23:20:02): * "Crap..." He still had to maintain the Elder Sign for Hibiki's sake/chastity. It seems as if his only option right now was to try to take the attack head on to keep the Elder Sign up. +
VJockey (23:20:19): "...I'm going to be completely honest."
VJockey (23:20:28): "I am terrified beyond all belief right now."
cubey@aol.pl (23:20:51): Nehushtan: "Hmph!"
Aero (23:21:20): Theo was sure that he was going to regret this decision in a second.
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:30): The Nirvana Gedon attack arcs like a hook punch, and throws Theo back!
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:53): Before he can regain his footing, the Elder Sign is disrupted long enough for the Bird Noise to do their thing.
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:12): Hibiki is immobilized as the goop solidifies into long strands that reach from the noise to her.
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:20): Best not to dwell on how it looks like.
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:37): Nehushtan girl: "Now be a good little girl and stay there!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:51): Tsubasa, Asagi, go.
griefgathering (23:23:01): "..." Seeing that attack by the Nehushtan Girl cements Tsubasa's priorities here. Also, it's personal in the first place.
Aero (23:24:54): Theo: "This is bad...I don't think we'll be able to keep up with the amount of Noise she's creating."
Aero (23:25:10): He's also wincing in pain now, that hurt a lot more than he thought it would.
VJockey (23:25:39): "...I don't know either... but maybe we can really inconvenience her!"
griefgathering (23:26:23): *Despite not being as fast as the enemy, Tsubasa tries to close the distance as quickly as she can. "You're forgetting something!" She lunges towards Nehushtan with a sword slash, but quickly follows up by ducking low and going into a handstand. The feet blades unfold, and slice repeatedly like a tornado!+
tengusaur (23:26:25): Asagi: "We'll need some heavier firepower. I'll take care of the Noise. I'm leaving the girl to those of you who are her size!" The heavy beam cannon flies in from offscreen (launched by a support vehicle, most likely), and gets grabbed by Blue One. The AHSMB spins around, then takes aim, Asagi quickly analyzing the battlefield and picking the target where he can catch the highest number of Noise in the blast, and no allies. And then he fires the huge beam! +
cubey@aol.pl (23:27:37): Nehushtan Girl: "Do I? Don't get full of yourself!""
cubey@aol.pl (23:28:33): She jukes to the side, but as Tsubasa tries to do her handstand attack again - she'll find that the whips did not follow. Rather they remained there, and are now entangling her arms and trying to trip her over!
cubey@aol.pl (23:28:51): Nehushtan Girl: "Do you think you're the main character here? The hero?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:29:06): (React)
VJockey (23:29:28): #Tsubasa again?
cubey@aol.pl (23:29:34): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (23:29:52): Asagi's beam causes a large explosion in the middle of the road (a lot of damage but no one was near it, except for the noise)
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:33): Two Giants are struck, as well as a significant number of smaller enemies - all of them perish in the blast! However remaining small Noise will not take it standing. Turning into spear forms, they extend and try to reach the distant, flying Blue One.
VJockey (23:30:34): *With the Nehustan Girl far too occupied with trying to trip Tsubasa, this left her open to a smoke bomb launched right towards her face!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:38): It's a living danmaku, react!
Aero (23:30:56): #Asagi?
cubey@aol.pl (23:31:10): Approved.
griefgathering (23:31:26): *"...Gh!" Tsubasa's answer to this is to summon swords to try to pin the girl from above. She doesn't need to have free movement to do that!+
Aero (23:31:29): Theo: "Asagi toss one of your swords forward!"
tengusaur (23:32:56): Asagi: "What is this supposed to... Okay, I trust you on this! You better be right!" With a single motion he draws the katana and throws it forward, trying to evade the incoming danmaku at the same time! +
Aero (23:34:58): * "Now, ABRAHADABRA." And the moment the sword is thrown a large blast of lightning roars out from Theo's hand and hits the blade, splitting the lightning by using the weapon's energy deflecting abililty to form a massive discharge around the weapon that would hopefully catch everything near it. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:34): The thrown blade is suddenly electrified, releasing smaller bolts of lightning - that zap and destroy the attacking Noise!
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:38): Well, that's for that.
cubey@aol.pl (23:35:50): As on the on-foot front - the Nehushtan girl suddenly gasps in surprise and coughs from the smoke!
Aero (23:36:10): Theo: "Whew...it's a good thing I watched all of your battle footage."
cubey@aol.pl (23:36:20): "I... had much worse than that! You don't even know!"
VJockey (23:36:39): "What's that? I can't hear you over your coughing!"
tengusaur (23:36:46): Asagi: "All of it? Even..."
tengusaur (23:36:50): He pauses for a second.
cubey@aol.pl (23:36:54): But she yells through the noise - leaping away from the blades, not away from Tsubasa though. As the smoke cloud dissipates, she's standing atop the prone Relic user.
tengusaur (23:36:57): Asagi: "...I'll take your word on it."
tengusaur (23:37:10): Asagi: "!"
tengusaur (23:37:15): Asagi: "Tsubasa!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:37:20): Nehushtan girl: "Heh. You're just a wild beast, and your 'allies' get in each other's way!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:37:40): (Tsubasa is not hurt too seriously by the way, though her current position is... not good to say the least)
cubey@aol.pl (23:37:47): Though it does not stay that way for long...
Aero (23:37:48): Theo: "Dammit...she used the smoke to get the advantage."
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:01): ???: "You asked for a hero?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:25): Bolts of plasma fly through the air, hitting the larger Noise, and what remains of the smaller ones!
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:28): They quickly explode.
Wyverncakes (23:38:36): Hibiki: "Tsubasa!!!"
griefgathering (23:38:42): "...!" The prone Tsubasa is frustrated to say the least...and then that happens...
Wyverncakes (23:38:50): She's struggling now, desperate to be free of the goop!
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:51): Flying in the air above you is a well-known shape.
tengusaur (23:39:03): Asagi: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:09): Nehushtan girl: "A helper, huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:14): ???: "Wrong!"
VJockey (23:39:15): "..........................."
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:33): It's BrightSaber. Even though the last time you fought it it was severely damaged, it is good as new now.
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:39): Loni Gavin: "The true hero has arrived!"
tengusaur (23:39:42): Asagi: "Loni!!"
griefgathering (23:39:45): Tsubasa: "You..."
VJockey (23:40:04): "...We're going to need reinforcements."
griefgathering (23:40:05): Her voice is filled with venom. This has not been a good day at all...
VJockey (23:40:08): "All of them."
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:20): Loni: "I know you got some ancient powerful artifact on your hands. Like hell I'll let you assholes keep it! I'm taking it!"
tengusaur (23:40:28): Asagi: "You have guts to show your face here!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:32): Nehushtan girl: "Ah. So he's THIS kind of guy."
VJockey (23:40:35): "..!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:42): Nehushtan girl: "I hate this type! Don't screw around!"
VJockey (23:40:56): "Ah...no! She isn't getting it. And you aren't either".
Aero (23:40:59): Theo: "Looks like we have something in common."
VJockey (23:41:10): "So... we're... going to have to... stop... you both.."
cubey@aol.pl (23:41:13): Loni: "We'll see about that!"
VJockey (23:41:19): [Calvin is sweating bullets here.]
Aero (23:41:27): Theo: "Stay calm."
cubey@aol.pl (23:41:30): He reverses the grip on his plasma katanas and fires rounds of exploding plasma at all of you!
cubey@aol.pl (23:41:34): Everyone, react!
cubey@aol.pl (23:41:48): Everyone - except Hibiki. You have no means to react. Fortunately Loni did not target you either.
Wyverncakes (23:41:57): Hooray for small miracles.
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:27): However as the blasts explode around you, huge blocks of rubble and similar things fly in all directions.
VJockey (23:42:34): *Calvin's going to let off more smoke and try to pull away from the blasts! Keeping his shield raised the whole time.+
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:36): Some destroy the Bird Noise that keep you captive.
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:40): They also fly right at you!
tengusaur (23:42:45): Asagi: "If only I had my katana with me right now...!" Unfortunately he threw it just a moment ago, so all he can do is make the AHSMB dodge, letting its survival instinct take over. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:48): Symphogear or not, you will be crushed alive.
Aero (23:42:56): #?
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:06): (Rejected, you have your own problems right now)
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:37): Nehushtan girl: "Gh! Like hell I'll let you!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:49): She leaps off Tsubasa, freeing her to react. Unfortunately this is because one of the blasts aimed at them.
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:45): Hibiki is trapped under a pile of rubble.
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:50): However - she is completely unhurt.
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:00): Ryoko: "Are you okay, Hibiki-chan?"
griefgathering (23:45:03): *Tsubasa immediately flips upright, summoning one of those mecha-sized swords as she does. Then all she can do is hope it covers her from the attack!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:11): The scientist is right by you!
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:28): And her hand is raised. Around the both of you, away from the sight of others, some kind of energy barrier protects you from the rubble.
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:50): It falls to the side harmlessly, and Ryoko's barrier dissipates as soon as the danger is over.
Aero (23:45:58): Theo: "I apologize, I didn't expect this to happen." Another of Zs-a-wia's limbs forms and grabs the thrown Katana before it swings back up and starts trying to deflect the plasma away from it's Magus. +
Wyverncakes (23:46:25): Hibiki: "E-eh...?"
VJockey (23:46:37): "Join the OSI she said! Serve the world with your talent she said!"
Wyverncakes (23:46:40): Looking up she's shocked.
cubey@aol.pl (23:46:41): Ryoko: "It looks like the situation became very complicated."
cubey@aol.pl (23:46:48): She still has the relic case with her.
Wyverncakes (23:46:50): "Ry-Ryouko...! When did you..."
Wyverncakes (23:46:53): "How did you-"
Wyverncakes (23:47:05): ... Well, to be fair this shouldn't surprise her too much...
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:16): Ryoko: "Shh. The important thing right now is to make sure this guy doesn't get his hands on our Durandal, right?"
Wyverncakes (23:47:28): Genjurou was an amazing fighter, after all. And Ryoko had a point!
Wyverncakes (23:47:37): "Mhm!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:55): Calvin finds his shield melted in an instant - it explodes, throwing his mobile suit back, damaged and with some non-essential systems malfunctioning!
cubey@aol.pl (23:48:39): Theo and Tsubasa try to use their blades of various sizes for protection, but Loni overcomes even Z'sa Wia's arm. No blasts hit you directly, but bolts hitting the highway next to you cause all of you to be thrown back!
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:11): Blue One's survival instinct is working at full gear now. Asagi can see it - the incoming bolt, and he dodges it! Except - too slow! It still grazes your unit, leaving a painful green gash on its side!
VJockey (23:49:12): "ScrewyouCarollscrewyouscrewy-GAAAH!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:38): Loni: "Don't interfere! You're not responsible enough to have this!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:53): Nehushtan girl: "Look who's talking! I'll have to beat all of you up!"
Aero (23:49:53): Theo: "You're not either."
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:00): Theo, Calvin, go now.
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:07): Also - Hibiki, you are mostly free from the ooze!
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:09): You can go now too.
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:29): The Nehushtan Girl raises the Solomon's Cane again, summoning a veritable horde of Noise.
griefgathering (23:50:30): Tsubasa: "Neither of you...will...!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:31): Both small and big.
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:38): They don't look too friendly.
VJockey (23:50:49): *Calvin's slowly going to raise his revolver and fire a few shots at Brightsaber's head from where he was crashed.+
griefgathering (23:50:56): Tsubasa tries her best to get back up here after that blast. She only barely manages to do so.
tengusaur (23:51:29): Asagi: "How much longer before reinforcements from Unity Group arrive...? They have to know about this!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:52:05): Genjurou: "Help's on the way! Hold on just a few minutes more, I know you can do it!"
Aero (23:52:12): Theo: "This situation doesn't favour us does it."
cubey@aol.pl (23:52:24): You receive a very static-y transmission from Commander Kazanari. A lot of chaos on his side, looks like.
cubey@aol.pl (23:52:49): Loni: "No matter how many mooks you throw at me..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:09): His unit floats down - between the Giant Noise, using them as shields against Calvin's shots before cutting them down with almost casual katana swings!
Aero (23:53:15): #Calvin
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:19): Loni: "I'll force my way through all of them!"
Aero (23:53:30): (oops nvm)
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:31): He lunges at Calvin's Genoace, trying to sliece it as well!
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:35): Approved if you still want it.
Aero (23:53:36): #Calvin?
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:38): Also Calvin react
Aero (23:53:41): (Okay)
tengusaur (23:53:53): Asagi: "They're soldiers. People with lives and hopes. You're the one who's a mook!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:54:09): Loni: "You're all just supporting a flawed, evil system!"
Wyverncakes (23:54:12): Hibiki: "You..."
Wyverncakes (23:54:26): "... After everything you've done, you still just hate everyone?"
Wyverncakes (23:54:42): (Where's Durandal currently?)
VJockey (23:54:51): *Calvin's just going to try boost away, struggling to make his battered Genoace fight through the damage. Firing a few more rounds in the weak hope of getting Loni to back off.+
VJockey (23:54:59): "....This is it...?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:10): (Ryoko has it)
VJockey (23:55:14): "...Heh... pretty damn mundane.."
Wyverncakes (23:55:15): (Righto)
Wyverncakes (23:55:35): Hibiki: "Please stay safe, Miss Ryoko!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:40): Loni: "Hate? I fight for my friends!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:56:15): Nehushtan Girl: "Don't make me laugh!"
VJockey (23:56:58): [Calvin honestly thought he was going to die at this point. Nothing fantastical coming after him. Just a jerk with a sword.]
Wyverncakes (23:57:27): * Unsure of who to go after, Hibiki finally decides... Loni! At the very least he's in a much bigger machine! Using her small size to try to stay inconspicuous she dashes in to get into range... and deliver a piston punch into his machine's leg!+
Aero (23:58:02): * Theo's glasses have been thrown off by the force of the last explosion. His expression is completely unamused. "What a brat." A very ominous aura starts flowing from Theo and for a moment time seems to stop. "You think you're a hero, that's amusing. You have no idea what a true hero is like...but if you want to treat us as villains fine." And then the Magus dashes forward on foot and...throws a simple uppercut at BrightSaber. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:59:08): Calvin doesn't need to continue with his life flying in front of his eyes.
cubey@aol.pl (23:59:16): BrightSaber is suddenly stopped cold!
cubey@aol.pl (23:59:22): Loni: "What?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:59:53): The double uppercut and leg punch manages to stop the unit's momentum - not throw it back, but it stands still mid-air, dents visible where the attacks hit.
17 May 2015
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:08): Loni: "On foot? You guys are overpowered! That's not fair!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:36): He pulls back, BrightSaber's limbs moving - the leg tries to kick Hibiki back as his right arm tries to smack Theo out of the way!
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:38): React both of you.
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:54): Tsubasa, Asagi, go.
Aero (00:01:27): Theo: "Leave him to me Hibiki."
Aero (00:01:38): His voice sounds...completely different.
tengusaur (00:01:45): (enemy list?)
Wyverncakes (00:02:02): Hibiki: "Theo..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:18): Enemies: Giant Noise x12, Small Noise (all 4 varieties) x200, Nehushtan Girl
Wyverncakes (00:02:23): * She nods and complies... he certainly seems to have a better plan than she does right now.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:02:24): Allies of Justice: BrightSaber (Loni)
tengusaur (00:03:42): Asagi: "...Theo became completely different."
griefgathering (00:04:11): Tsubasa notes that the others have Gavin occupied for now. This leaves her room to focus on Nehushtan.
tengusaur (00:04:16): Asagi: "Didn't this happen before?" He's trying to recall the logs, but only for a mment. There's something that has to be done.
Aero (00:04:44): * "Come...Zs-a-Wia." Well...if Loni wanted his villain, he got one. The dark aura envelops Theodore and with an eruption of blood the Deus Machina Zs-a-Wia forms towering over BrightSaber. The machine immeidately reaches it's clawed arms out at the leg and attempts to crushesit's claws around the limb. Theo was not going to let him near anyone else. &
tengusaur (00:05:10): * And so, Blue One drops down to the ground and rushes forward, brandishing its spear and trying to cleave through as many Noise that are on the way with wide, swooping swings! The attack ends with him stabbing the weapon at a giant one! &
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:05): Loni: "You... you were not joking!"
griefgathering (00:06:20): Tsubasa: *"I'm not done yet..." She transforms her katana into its wider form, then suddenly leaps up and swings at the Nehushtan wearer from a distance, sending out another crescent wave of blue energy!&
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:42): He gapes at the giant Deus Machina - but only for a second! He fires more beam shots at Z'Sa Wia's hand, trying to force it open while backing off with BrightSaber.
Aero (00:07:03): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So7eaYnIn5s
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:06): He damages the Deus Machina's arm, but does not leave unscathed. The lower leg of BrightSaber is left in its grasp.
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:19): Loni: "You're a villain! A real fucking villain!
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:20): "
griefgathering (00:07:52): Also, this exchange doesn't go unnoticed by the blue haired Symphogear user...
griefgathering (00:08:00): But she doesn't have time to worry about that now.
Aero (00:08:04): Theo: "Hahahahaha, what's wrong? You're the Hero aren't you? Will you be able to defeat this villain?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:15): Blue One forces its way through the smaller Noise, ending the trek with a stab at a giant one!
VJockey (00:08:26): "..Wh... what in the hell...?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:29): The giant is heavily damaged, but it already swings back at melee range - react/continue.
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:46): Loni: "Heh. I'm just getting fired up!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:23): Nehushtan Girl: "What the... this is only beginning, you know!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:00): As Tsubasa attacks, she creates another Nirvana Gedon and sends it against the cutting energy wave! The two forces clash, which one will overwhelm the other?
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:02): React/continue
tengusaur (00:10:09): Asagi: "It's only unfair when other people have the powerful machines. Is it, Loni!" Blue One's joints creak with effort, but the AHSMB starts to lift the giant Noise, on top of its spear! And then spins around and sends it flying towards BrightSaber, trying to do that before the enemy can reach him! +
Aero (00:11:05): Zs-a-wia crushes BrightSaber's leg in it's hand. "He'd laugh at me if I let someone as selfish as you call himself a Hero."
cubey@aol.pl (00:11:30): The Noise swings clumsily - these creatures seem surprisingly lacking in the mass department, and it's thrown.
cubey@aol.pl (00:11:38): Loni cuts it down with a single swipe of his katana.
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:05): Loni: "I'm fighting for my friends! What are you fighting for?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:21): Loni: "Just an opportunity to put others down! But I won't let you! BrightSaber's not just for show!"
tengusaur (00:12:27): Asagi: "Humanity. All of it."
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:28): Theo, Calvin, Hibiki, go.
Aero (00:12:28): Theo: "I'm fighting to protect my second chance and the friends I've been able to make here."
tengusaur (00:12:30): Asagi (allies only): "A distraction. Use it!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:13:11): Loni: "Lies! That's just an excuse so you can do whatever you want!"
griefgathering (00:13:15): *Tsubasa is anticipating that Nehushtan will overpower her attack. So to follow up, she throws her own sword at the two opposing forces - the blade suddenly grows into another towering double-edged sword! She kicks the weapon in the pommel in usual Rider Kick fashion, trying to reach through to her actual target beyond!+
Aero (00:13:20): Theo: "Of course, only a brat like you would see the world in such absolute ways."
cubey@aol.pl (00:13:21): Loni: "You say you fight for everyone, but you can't even save one person!"
Wyverncakes (00:15:00): With Loni being dealt with, tht just left... the Nehushtan girl.
Wyverncakes (00:15:05): ^that
cubey@aol.pl (00:15:13): The giant blade overpowers the black ball of energy! It stabs into the ground.
Aero (00:15:44): * Zs-a-wia lunges forward again as the Giant Noise is destroyed, the machine starts to move at speeds that should not have been possible for something so large and clunky. Theo? had one goal in mind and that was to rip apart the BrightSaber with the Deus Machina's hands. &
tengusaur (00:15:45): Asagi: "There's only two people you care about, is there. Your murderous friends."
cubey@aol.pl (00:16:05): "Surprise!" The whips entangle themselves around it, and the Nehushtan Girl swings on them to climb up to its hilt. She was only grazed by it, but already strikes back - the whips hitting Tsubasa at point blank range and throwing her off the colossal sword!
Wyverncakes (00:16:29): Hibiki: "Wait! Please!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:16:36): Loni: "Shut up! Shut up!"
griefgathering (00:16:54): Tsubasa crashes violently after being launched like that.
griefgathering (00:17:24): Tsubasa: "Aagh...!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:27): When Zs'a-Wia's hands reach BrightSaber - it is grasped by its clawed grip, the claws ripping into it.
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:29): But...
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:40): It already starts to emanate plasma from every possible exhaust.
cubey@aol.pl (00:17:49): Loni: "The hero... won't lose!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:18:10): A sudden burst of green energy! React/continue, Theo.
VJockey (00:18:55): *Calvin's drawing his rifle again... those exhaust ports... Calvin takes aim and fires several rounds into one of them! Even if the bullets melt, the speeding molten metal clogging the vent should do something!... Maybe...+
Wyverncakes (00:19:01): * Seeing those whips flail out, Hibiki knew what she had to do! She ran full speed and reached out to grab a tight hold of them! "Stop this, please! Whatever reason you think you have to do this, tell us! We'll listen and if we can help you we will!"+
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:12): Nehushtan girl: "Wait? Don't be ridiculous! Don't you even see what's going on here?!"
Aero (00:19:13): Theo: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you call this heat!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:38): As soon as Hibiki is in melee range - she kicks back, a solid hit to her stomach. React!
Wyverncakes (00:20:59): * With that kick coming, Hibiki just tries to... loop the length of the whip around to tie Nehushtan girl up!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:15): Unfortunately - it's the Nehushtan's wearer who is in control of the whips. Not you, Hibiki. With a snap, she makes them go up and down, spinning you around. Then the kick throws you away!
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:38): Nehushtan girl: "I'll be taking you with me! You or Durandal, or both!"
Aero (00:22:59): * "Let me show you what true power looks like. The power of absolute zero" If that plasma was a reason for worry, Theo wasn't showing it. "Hyperborea..." The hand holding BrightSaber seems to counter the heat, the air crackled and everything around him began to grow colder. Loni might have been burning but...Theo has encountered a much more infinite heat before. "Zero Drive!" And then...an explosion of zero. +
Wyverncakes (00:23:00): Hibiki: "Aaaah!"
Wyverncakes (00:23:32): She smacks down on the ground, only then realizing exactly what this person said!
Wyverncakes (00:23:46): "W-wait, you want me...?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:09): The Nehushtan wearer's response is drowned out.
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:18): Loni: "AAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:31): The explosion of absolute zero overpowers BrightSaber...
griefgathering (00:24:47): Tsubasa: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:51): Loni: "No! I won't! NO NO NO NO NOOOO! I am the hero, the hero wins! Always, ALWAAAAAAAAYS!"
Aero (00:25:16): Theo: "Then maybe...you're not the Hero."
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:40): Regardless, BrightSaber's armor starts to crack, parts of it falling down and turning into snow-like dust...
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:50): Before the plasma exhausts grow hot again!
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:13): Loni: "I'm not the hero? Fuck YOUUUUUUU!"
Aero (00:26:15): Theo: "Hooo...that's interesting."
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:51): He slices with his katanas - their plasma blades suddenly extending to huge lengths as his unit is burning with an intense aura!
Aero (00:27:01): Theo: "Are you sure you want to raise your temperature that quickly? You'll burn yourself out."
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:13): Deep gashes appear on Z-sa-wia. The Deus Machina is pushed back - and collapses, hejavily damaged!
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:26): Loni: "Even if I burn myself out... I'll still win. I'll still live."
Aero (00:27:39): Theo doesn't seem too bothered by the damage. In fact he's rather amused.
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:50): Loni: "I am the hero, bitch. Don't you forget that."
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:57): He points his katana at the downed Machina.
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:59): Ping!
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:01): Ping!
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:08): Several bullets hit BrightSaber's armor.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:23): Loni: "Come on, is that the best you can do? Didn't you eat your breakfast today?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:47): Tsubasa and Asagi, go.
Aero (00:29:44): Theo: "Unfortunately I'm not able to bring out my full power at the moment."
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:00): Loni: "Stay down if you know what's good for you!"
tengusaur (00:30:15): Asagi: "Like hell you are." Blue One's shape suddenly looms behind BrightSaber - the AHSMB is quickly approaching, ready to stab it into the back with its sword! &
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:22): While he says that, he points his katana at Z-sa-wia - and the other is aimed at Calvin's genoace!
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:31): And it extends in length, the plasma blade trying to skewer the mobile suit apart!
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:32): React.
griefgathering (00:30:42): Tsubasa slowly gets up from the crater that the Nehushtan Girl put her in.
Aero (00:31:01): #Calvin
cubey@aol.pl (00:31:04): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (00:31:38): Loni spins the blade he held in his hand - as Blue One strikes from behind, he thrusts it under the shoulder, trying to stab through the AHSMB.
cubey@aol.pl (00:31:40): React!
VJockey (00:31:58): *He jerks the Genoace's controls and opens fire again and again at the vents. Something has to take! Just one... just one hit!+
griefgathering (00:31:58): Her footing is unstable. Was this it? After everything she went through?
griefgathering (00:32:08): No, maybe there was something else.
VJockey (00:32:21): *fire again and again as he throws himself aside
griefgathering (00:33:24): *Once again, Tsubasa raises her arms, but this time, she is holding a number of daggers in her hands. As she breaks into a sprint, she throws them with precision at the Nehushtan Girl!+
tengusaur (00:34:14): Asagi: "Now I've got you!" Suddenly, the coil around Blue One's left arm unfolds and lashes forward, like a whip! Asagi tries to strike with it at Loni's attacking arm, wrap it around his whip, and pull hard while moving back himself - to throw the opponent into disarray and/or make him slash his own flank! +
tengusaur (00:34:19): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOlLeVmkCc8
Aero (00:34:55): * "I already told you, I'm not going to let you lay a hand on my friends." Despite the damage on the machine, Zs-a-wia moves again, thrusting it's palm out as it stands in the way of the plasma blade. +
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:09): Nehushtan Girl: "You're getting desperate!" She dodges to the side, the daggers falling behind her. She tries to lunge forward as well, throwing back the whips to prepare them for another slice!
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:20): "All I have to do is grab the fool and get out of here!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:24): React, Tsubasa!
griefgathering (00:37:01): *Tsubasa does not have a weapon held. She actually gets hit by that attack head on...however...
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:05): The Deus Machina's hand is pierced through - the blade damages it beyond useless, but that's where it stops.
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:29): Loni: "Friends? Don't make me laugh! That's a good one! You, friends?!"
Aero (00:37:53): Theo: "Funny enough I believe many within the Unity Group say the same of you."
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:09): His main hand struggles against Asagi's whip - but eventually overcomes it. BrightSaber is powerful, however the distraction was enough for...
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:14): Ping, ping.
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:20): More bullets hit against its armor.
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:23): Loni: "Get real!"
Aero (00:38:26): Theo: "Unlike you however, I am trying to repent for the sins I've commited."
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:48): Ping. A bullet hits a semi-shattered part that Z'sa-Wia damaged with its absolute zero coldness.
griefgathering (00:38:50): The daggers that were thrown earlier were not meant to hit the Nehushtan Girl in the first place.
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:08): BrightSaber's shoulder starts crackling with electricity, and the whole arm falls limp, useless!
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:14): Loni: "You... you're shitting me!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:28): Loni: "That's it, you're dead!"
Aero (00:39:29): Theo: "Haha...well done Calvin."
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:35): He spins around, throwing Blue One off himself.
cubey@aol.pl (00:39:48): Loni: "I don't need two hands to get rid of you chumps!"
tengusaur (00:39:54): Asagi lands heavily. "Ungh. It worked!"
griefgathering (00:40:22): *The daggers are now embedded in her lengthened shadow on the ground, and Tsubasa slowly rises to her feet for the third time.
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:30): Nehushtan girl: "?!"
VJockey (00:40:47): "Had to ... make it worth it..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:40:49): "I... can't...?!"
griefgathering (00:40:53): Nehushtan Girl may also notice that she has trouble moving.
tengusaur (00:41:02): Asagi: "Now we just need to make a plan to disable the other arm..."
griefgathering (00:41:14): -Shadow Weaving-
cubey@aol.pl (00:41:17): She finds her movements severely inhibited. She is stuck to the ground - pinned down by her own shadow!
tengusaur (00:41:24): (He says that in an 'easier said than done' tone.)
griefgathering (00:42:04): Tsubasa seems to do nothing but walk forward for a while.
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:08): Loni: "You guys are full of it!"
griefgathering (00:42:10): But then...
griefgathering (00:42:22): A haunting melody echoes throughout the area.
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:38): He swings his katana, its blade extending. This time it's a finishing hit, a giant blow to slice apart or burn into a crisp anything in its path!
Aero (00:42:38): Theo: "Disabling his limbs may not do much, whatever is helping him will ensure that his delusions will keep coming true."
griefgathering (00:42:46): Tsubasa: "Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:53): Loni: "What?!"
griefgathering (00:43:05): Tsubasa: "Emustolronzen fine el baral zillz..."
Aero (00:43:18): Theo: "...This song..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:43:22): Nehushtan Girl: "Is she... singing the Swan Song?!"
Wyverncakes (00:43:29): It almost sounded like-
tengusaur (00:43:35): Asagi: "What... Tsubasa, no! Don't do it!"
Wyverncakes (00:43:36): "'Swan song'?"
griefgathering (00:43:54): Tsubasa: "Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal..."
griefgathering (00:44:10): Oh, by the way Nehushtan girl...she is also right in your face now.
griefgathering (00:44:30): Close enough that you could say it's intimate. You can even feel her breath.
griefgathering (00:44:58): Tsubasa: "Emustorolzen fine el zillz..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:45:15): Nehushtan girl: "Gh...!"
griefgathering (00:45:22): *What follows is well...
Aero (00:45:29): Theo: "It seems as if I won't be needed anymore."
griefgathering (00:45:47): A devastating explosion of bright blue energy that envelops nearly everything in reach!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:00): Immense power is gathered in Tsubasa's body - and then released. This is the Swan Song.
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:32): The Noise are caught up in it and annihilated, their forms swept away.
cubey@aol.pl (00:46:43): Disintegrated.
Wyverncakes (00:46:45): It was... just like that time before...
Wyverncakes (00:46:51): -But that would mean...!
Wyverncakes (00:47:00): "T-TSUBASAAAA!!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:12): Loni's attack is also stopped cold, the blade struggling against the discharge, and losing.
cubey@aol.pl (00:47:22): Loni: "What... gaaaah!" BrightSaber's thrown back!
griefgathering (00:47:24): Tsubasa actually smirks just before that blast.
griefgathering (00:47:32): Like someone saying 'gotcha'.
griefgathering (00:47:44): But not that anyone can see that now.
cubey@aol.pl (00:48:28): Your units manage to hold back against the discharge of power.
cubey@aol.pl (00:48:43): Z-sa-wia however... is disintegrated as well!
Aero (00:48:59): Theo: "To think it'd have this much power..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:03): Something unusual is going on here, though the target of the attack does not have time to notice that.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:13): Nehushtan girl: "Aaaaagh! Gyaaa!"
Aero (00:49:34): Theo lands on the ground and...his expression has returned back to normal. "Huh...what..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:38): She was in the epicenter of the explosion. The blast throws her body back. She lands heavily under a pile of rubble.
Aero (00:49:41): He's even speaking normally again.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:46): Her armor heavily damaged, large parts of it missing.
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:32): However, they already start regrowing. If anyone is close, they could see veins popping up on the exposed skin underneath Nehushtan.
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:45): Nehushtan girl: "Aggh!"
Aero (00:50:56): Theo: "That's...one form of regeneration."
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:57): She quickly jumps away and tries to flee!
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:14): That was too painful for her.
Wyverncakes (00:51:19): Hibiki: "Tsubasa... where's Tsubasa!?"
Wyverncakes (00:51:24): She has a really, really bad feeling about this
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:45): It looks like the enemies are taken care of.
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:00): Loni: "How... nevermind! I have it!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:03): Or are they!
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:21): Hibiki finds that the heavily damaged BrightSaber is making a leap towards her!
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:25): Why her, specifically?
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:33): Because the discarded case with Durandal is right at her feet!
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:40): And...
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:46): it seems to be emanating a glow
tengusaur (00:52:50): Asagi: "Damn! He's still here?!"
Wyverncakes (00:53:03): Durandal!
Aero (00:53:05): Theo: "He's taken all that damage and he's still moving!?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:10): However BrightSaber is very quickly rushing, trying to grab it with its arm - and possibly crushing you in the process, but Loni cares not!
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:13): React, Hibiki!
VJockey (00:53:24): "!!"
VJockey (00:53:52): [Calvin tries to move his Genoace but there's no way he'd make it in time-]
Aero (00:54:01): THeo: "Durandal..."
Wyverncakes (00:54:03): The case is already open, and Hibiki makes a grab for Durandal with the full intent on escaping once it's in her grasp, but instead...
Wyverncakes (00:54:17): Hibiki: "H-aaaugh...!"
Wyverncakes (00:55:18): As soon as she takes hold of it, that shadow begins to cross over her face again, contrasting with a brilliant glow that begins to eminate from the rest of her!
Wyverncakes (00:55:35): Hibiki: "GrraaaaaaaAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
Aero (00:55:37): Theo: "What power..."
tengusaur (00:56:48): Asagi: "This... She's absorbing Durandal's power...?"
VJockey (00:56:52): "....So it really is the real thing.."
Wyverncakes (00:57:23): * And instead of fleeing, she stands her ground, raising the mighty Relic up and over her head! A fiery pillar of light erupts from the blade, and without missing a beat she slashes down with the weapon, bringing it and its power to bear on the BrightSaber!+
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:27): Loni: "This...!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:38): He is interrupted as the blade cleaves down on BrightSaber's shoulder!
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:42): He didn't even have time to avoid it!
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:23): Loni: "Bad guy! You're also... a bad guy!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:56): BrightSaber backs off, still skewered on the blade. Once it actually gets off the light brand, there is a huge gash going from its shoulder through its torso - almost to the cockpit!
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:01): Loni: "I won't forget this!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:10): BrightSaber turns and flees at top speed!
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:15): All the enemies really are gone now.
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:21): But... what about Hibiki?
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:23): And Tsubasa?!
tengusaur (01:00:31): Asagi: "Tch, too fast to catch up... How's Tsubasa?"
Wyverncakes (01:00:31): Hibiki can...
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:39): Ryoko: "She really sang it..."
Aero (01:00:41): Theo: "Can you find her Asagi?"
Wyverncakes (01:00:45): ... Be found lying on the ground, back in her civilian attire and unconscious.
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:50): The scientist lady steps out from one of the nearby ruined buildings
tengusaur (01:01:01): Asagi tries to locate the sword.
griefgathering (01:02:11): Tsubasa is actually standing at ground zero of her own super attack.
Aero (01:02:43): Theo: "!?"
griefgathering (01:02:45): It looks like most of that was actually focused on Nehushtan, judging by the gigantic swath in the ground in front of her.
griefgathering (01:03:04): She's quiet, but she's still standing.
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:12): Cars full of MiBs suddenly arrive.
griefgathering (01:03:16): Only no one can see her face.
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:29): Their passengers need to go on foot, because most of the highway is ruined around you.
griefgathering (01:03:31): She has her back facing the others.
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:37): Genjurou: "Tsubasa!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:40): He was there as well.
tengusaur (01:03:43): Asagi: "Tsubasa! How do you feel? What's your status?"
Aero (01:04:06): Theo moves over towards Hibiki and checks her condition. He was still really worried about Tsubasa as well.
griefgathering (01:04:12): Tsubasa: "I am fine..."
griefgathering (01:04:24): And at that, she finally turns around.
VJockey (01:04:34): [Calvin's going to exit his Genoace, despite being almost dead on his feet he was going to try help the others as he staggers over to Theo and Hibiki.]
griefgathering (01:04:41): What everyone sees...is not pretty.

Aero (01:04:51): Theo: "Tsu...basa..."
tengusaur (01:05:09): Asagi: "..."
VJockey (01:05:18): "....."
tengusaur (01:05:20): Asagi: "We need medics here. Fast."
griefgathering (01:05:25): Tsubasa: "I am a sword...this much is..."
Wyverncakes (01:05:31): Hibiki weakly stirs and...
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:42): Genjurou: "First response, get here ASAP!"
Wyverncakes (01:05:42): She just gasps when she sees Tsubasa looking like that.
griefgathering (01:05:43): And...she collapses.
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:09): There were much more important things to do today than deliver a Relic - although the rest of Durandal's way was relatively uneventful. After what happened...
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:15): MISSION COMPLETED
