cubey@aol.pl (22:02:44): The Light Numbers are going to be decomissioned - which is to say, destroyed. Even though what happened was not a fault of their own.
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:24): But another of Dr Light's creations won't take that standing. Which is why Rock is running towards the seaside decomissioning facility as we speak.
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:38): However he plans to stop the decomissioning is a mystery. But one thing for sure.
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:40): He is not alone.
cubey@aol.pl (22:03:47): One other person runs with him.
troublefirecat (22:03:54): Rock: Come on Hibiki! We have to hurry!
Wyverncakes (22:04:35): Hibiki: "Mmm!"
Wyverncakes (22:04:44): She'll follow after Rock every step of the way!
Wyverncakes (22:05:10): If the decommissioners see that a human cares about the Light Numbers, maybe that'll help convince them to stay their "retirement"!
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:19): Unity Group's people probably know about your attempt, but they didn't try to stop you. Good.
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:22): However...
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:45): Suddenly both of you face an intense blast of air right in your faces!
cubey@aol.pl (22:05:54): It almost trips over both of you.
troublefirecat (22:06:07): Rock: ?!
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:17): The walls of the facility are not too far now, and you are in a park-like environment.
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:23): But in front of you, two figures stand.
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:25): Two robots...
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:33): Flash Man
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/4/4f/FlashMegamix.png/revision/latest?cb=20100128194104
Air Man
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/8/8b/AirMegamix.png/revision/latest?cb=20100209190612
Wyverncakes (22:06:35): Hibiki: "Uah...?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:06:42): Flash Man: "Found you!"
Wyverncakes (22:06:57): More robots...
Wyverncakes (22:07:13): Hibiki: "Are you here to help us help the Light Numbers?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:07:54): Air Man: "In a way..."
troublefirecat (22:08:13): Rock might not have gotten a good look at them last time, but he's pretty sure he knows who these guys are. "You guys! You're Wily's robots aren't you?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:08:41): Flash Man: "The Light Numbers are being freed right this very moment. They've been given a second chance to fight the humans who wanted to turn them to scrap!"
Wyverncakes (22:09:02): Hibiki: "Uah? Doctor Wily?!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:23): Air Man: "Yes. Dr Wily is our creator and master, and he will be their master too. We will create a world ruled by robots."
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:37): Flash Man: "So I'm here to make sure you pipsqueaks don't interfere!"
troublefirecat (22:09:53): Rock grits his teeth. "What makes you think they'd betray Dr. Light like that?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:09:54): Flash Man aims his hand blaster in Rock's direction!
cubey@aol.pl (22:10:14): Flash Man: "Humans are the ones who betrayed them first!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:11:07): Air Man: "Turn back right now. Try to interfere and I will blow you away."
troublefirecat (22:11:58): Rock: No way! I'm not going to let you do anything to them!
cubey@aol.pl (22:12:40): Flash Man grins. "I hoped you'd say that."
Wyverncakes (22:13:41): Hibiki moves to get in front of Rock for protection! "Wait!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:13:51): But as Hibiki takes a step...
cubey@aol.pl (22:14:16): ???: "These stupid robots were trying to help people, and people want to wreck them! You think that's right? Doesn't it make you pissed off?"
Wyverncakes (22:14:27): "The Light Numbers wouldn't have-"
Wyverncakes (22:14:33): "-Ueh?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:14:37): Suddenly, a long chain whip-like weapon of solid light slams down on tha pavement in front of her!
cubey@aol.pl (22:14:51): Pieces of rubble flying in all directions. The one who used the weapon sounds familiar...
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:03): And she enters from the wood area.
troublefirecat (22:15:10): Rock: What?
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:24): ???: "Doesn't it make you want to blow all those ingrates up? But nevermind."
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:36): It's the Relic user from before.
cubey@aol.pl (22:15:52): Nehushtan
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/senkizesshousymphogear/images/1/1c/Senki_Zesshou_Symphogear_-_03_-_Large_36.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120425102554
Wyverncakes (22:15:53): Hibiki: "It's you!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:02): The Nehushtan wearer... no.
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:10): Chris Yukine: "You're coming with me."
cubey@aol.pl (22:16:16): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
cubey@aol.pl (22:17:13): Enemies: Flash Man, Air Man, Nehushtan (Chris)
cubey@aol.pl (22:17:16): Rock, Hibiki - go.
Wyverncakes (22:17:31): Hibiki shakes her head!
Wyverncakes (22:18:18): On one hand seeing the Relic user again was something she was hoping for, but now of all times...
Wyverncakes (22:18:36): So...
Wyverncakes (22:18:56): "Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron..."
Wyverncakes (22:19:04): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXJTn58nf4s
Wyverncakes (22:19:37): Hibiki: "Rock..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:19:56): Chris: "I'll silence that song for good!"
Wyverncakes (22:19:57): "I'll try to make an opening so you can get through to your friends!"
Wyverncakes (22:20:45): * In response to Chris's words, Hibiki charged forward, trying her best to make it look like she could spring off in either direction to the Robot Masters or Chris!&
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:00): Air Man: "There she comes!"
troublefirecat (22:21:14): Rock: Hibiki!
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:30): Chris: "Where are you looking? I'm your opponent!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:51): She jumps in the air, swinging the chain whip again - a black ball of crackling energy forming on its end, and being sent towards Hibiki!
cubey@aol.pl (22:21:55): React/continue!
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:15): At the same time...
Wyverncakes (22:23:33): * Yes, that was at least one of them! As soon as that whip started towards her Hibiki broke off her "attack" to start jumping away towards the woods! "Go Rock!"
Wyverncakes (22:23:35): +
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:43): Commander Huffman: "A fight broke near the decomissioning facility. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:23:52): An emergency transmission to Unity Group people!
cubey@aol.pl (22:24:19): Huffman: "Well, nevermind that. Best go that and see what the ruckus is about, hmm? Also, the 2nd Division's leader has a word for us."
cubey@aol.pl (22:24:43): Genjurou Kazanari: "We just got a reaction. It's the Nehushtan! Damn... and Ryoko isn't here, at this moment!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:24:54): Genjurou: "Sending you coordinates, right now. Counting on you, Unity Group!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:25:16): Needless to say, both emergencies point to the same location...
cubey@aol.pl (22:26:04): The two robots seemed somewhat distracted by Hibiki - that's good!
tormterra (22:26:27): Kei had expected something like that. Hopefully Rock hadn't done anything stupid after all...Either way, she rushed to get changed and ready to to move out in Purple-2 to help deal with this latest crisis
cubey@aol.pl (22:26:36): At the same time, she dodges the projectile attack...
troublefirecat (22:26:37): Rock changes to Mega Man and runs forward himself while the Wily bots and the new arrival are distracted.
cubey@aol.pl (22:26:45): Chris: "Going somewhere? I'll help you!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:27:00): Only for the now-free whip to entangle itself around your leg - and send you hurtling towards the woods!
cubey@aol.pl (22:27:34): Flash Man: "I don't think so."
cubey@aol.pl (22:27:50): Flash Man seems to... disappear. Only for a second though - he suddenly reappears right in front of Rock, blocking his path!
tengusaur (22:27:54): When that message reaches Unity Group... Daniel is already in his machine. As if he expected something like that to happen.
Wyverncakes (22:28:05): And there Hibiki goes with a cry of surprise.
tengusaur (22:28:09): Daniel: "...Well. What a coincidence. Ready to move out."
cubey@aol.pl (22:28:36): But as he does that, suddenly around you - buster shots are in the air, flying in your direction, Rock! He must have used a trick to place them... and Air Man blows his fan to try to push you into them!
cubey@aol.pl (22:28:38): React, Rock!
cubey@aol.pl (22:28:44): Hibiki can move again.
cubey@aol.pl (22:29:07): Chris: "What are you trying to achieve with this half-hearted idealism?"
cubey@aol.pl (22:29:23): Chris: "The other one isn't here. She won't protect you."
Wyverncakes (22:29:34): Rising back up to her feet and staring at Chris, Hibiki's course of action is clear!
troublefirecat (22:30:41): "?!" Rock does his best to dodge these attacks. It wasn't like he wasn't half expecting them to notice him despite Hibiki's efforts, but the sudden barrage of buster shots was a little unexpected.
Wyverncakes (22:30:46): Hibiki: "She doesn't need to be here... I know who you are!"
Wyverncakes (22:31:19): "You're Chris Yukine... and I'm..."
Wyverncakes (22:32:01): "Tachibana Hibiki! My birthday is September 13th and my blood type is O! I just got my height measured and it was 157 cm!"
Wyverncakes (22:32:21): "My weight is... uh... I'll tell you when we're better friends!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:32:22): Rock is pushed back - but the wind actually helps a bit, as picking up speed is easier and the buster shots pass around you, only one or two grazing.
Wyverncakes (22:32:30): "-But my hobby is saving people, and my favorite things are food and food!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:32:31): Chris: "Are you an idiot?!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:32:51): Well, you managed to make her angry at least.
Wyverncakes (22:32:55): "And..." fists clenched. "I've never had a boyfriend!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:33:05): Rock, you can go again.
Wyverncakes (22:33:55): * Hands outstretched at either side, Hibiki finishes her attempt at reaching out to Chris! "You're not a Noise or a BETA or anything like that... and if humans and robots can be friends then humans and humans can be friends too! We don't have to fight!"+
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:30): Flash Man: "Oh boy, this is getting good!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:34:48): Chris pauses for a second...
cubey@aol.pl (22:35:03): "What a bunch of bullshit!" She leaps forward again, slashing with both of the chain whips!
cubey@aol.pl (22:35:05): Hibiki, react!
Wyverncakes (22:36:52): * If Chris was still going to fight like that... well then it was only fair that Hibiki wouldn't be the only person wasting their breath! Seeing the whips slash down, she let her training with Genjurou guide her movements as she sprang up and over them!+
cubey@aol.pl (22:36:57): Chris: "Nothing good comes from this kind of understanding, you hear?! You're talking nonsense!"
troublefirecat (22:37:40): Realizing that the robot masters aren't going to let him past without a fight, Rock turns his attention to them and fires a few buster shots at Air Man. +
troublefirecat (22:38:17): Rock: I don't want to fight you, but if you're going to get in my way-!
cubey@aol.pl (22:38:50): Air Man jumps up - high into the air, picked up by a sudden torrent of wind. From above, he aims his buster gun...
cubey@aol.pl (22:39:12): But instead of energy shots, he fires several powerful tornado-like torrents! React, Rock!
cubey@aol.pl (22:39:19): Air Man: "I cannot say the same."
drascin (22:39:25): #
cubey@aol.pl (22:39:27): Approved!
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:01): Hibiki is making her opponent angrier - but whether it's because she was too furious and made a mistake, or perhaps Genjurou's training really did help.
drascin (22:40:08): *And suddenly, when he jumps on his wind torrent, a wall to the left of Air Man literally explodes out of nowhere, and through it comes a gazelleroid like a comet, fire-covered foot extended before itself in the mother of all flying kicks aimed straight at Air Man's "face"!+
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:16): But you jump over the attack, easily!
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:20): Chris: "What the!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:40:23): Hibiki, go again!
troublefirecat (22:42:54): Rock again attempts to dodge the mini tornados. As he does he sees the new arrival, and guesses pretty quickly who it is. "Ashe!"
troublefirecat (22:43:14): He was a little surprised it had taken her that long to catch up with them.
Wyverncakes (22:44:05): * Landing with a stamp, Hibiki moved to the next phase of, well what looked the best course of action. If she could make Chris stop fighting, well then maybe she'd get through to her easier! Closing her eyes Hibiki began to breath out, trying to draw on her Symphogear's energy! Her Armed Gear... she still hadn't been able to manifest her Armed Gear! But if it could make the difference in making Chris stop, then now was the time for it!&
Wyverncakes (22:44:11): Hibiki: "Huaaaaaaaaaa...!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:40): The first two air gusts are dodged - and more do not come!
cubey@aol.pl (22:44:53): Air Man is suddenly thrown back to the ground by a powerful falling comet kick!
cubey@aol.pl (22:45:14): Air Man: "Who is..."
cubey@aol.pl (22:45:25): Flash Man: "Looks like the party is getting interesting..."
drascin (22:45:51): Ashe: Surprise!
cubey@aol.pl (22:46:09): Hibiki gathers her power - just as Tsubasa has her sword, and Kanade had her spear, Hibiki's Armed Gear manifests into...
drascin (22:46:10): Ashe: Sorry, Rock. Was checking if there were any of these goons outside
cubey@aol.pl (22:46:22): Nothing. It failed to manifest at all!
cubey@aol.pl (22:46:37): Chris: "What the hell are you doing?!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:46:58): The whips fly again, trying to entangle themselves around Hibiki's body!
cubey@aol.pl (22:47:01): React/continue.
Wyverncakes (22:48:05): The energy's building up, building up... but then it just blows up anticlimactically in Hibiki's face! "Agh...!"
Wyverncakes (22:48:14): And sudden whip tentacles moving in again!
Wyverncakes (22:48:26): Still... inspiration came!
Wyverncakes (22:49:30): * The energy flowed gathered again, Hibiki clenching it tight in one fist... while she used her other to grab hold of Chris's whips! She didn't have those Dick Anchors like the Big O... but this would do...
drascin (22:49:44): Ashe: ...hey, Rock, aren't these the guys from that Wily guy? 'cause fan-face there is kinda hard to not remember.
Wyverncakes (22:49:52): 'Like you were hitting the thunder of the lightning that struck you!'
cubey@aol.pl (22:50:52): Chris: "!!"
Wyverncakes (22:51:01): * And with a fierce yank on the whips, Hibiki pulled Chris towards her as she charged, her armor's thrusters firing up, her piston chambering itself as she moved for her own Sudden Impact-style blow! "... Fast as I can... straight as I can... as soon as I can... HARD AS I CAN!"+
Wyverncakes (22:51:27): If words were failing her, she'd reach Chris with the song in her heart!
cubey@aol.pl (22:51:30): A shocked gasp as the attack is halted - with Hibiki grabbing the whips.
Wyverncakes (22:51:31): ... And her fists too.
cubey@aol.pl (22:51:55): And pulling the opponent, smashing her fist - and with it, all her emotions, into her!
cubey@aol.pl (22:52:03): Chris: "Agh... ghhaa!"
cubey@aol.pl (22:52:19): She cries out in pain, cracks appear on Nehushtan.
cubey@aol.pl (22:52:37): And she's thrown away by the force of the impact, crashing through several trees on the way!
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:05): Units from Unity Group are getting close.
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:12): You can see what's going on, and what kind of combatants are there!
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:26): Air Man starts standing up from the small crater he was in.
cubey@aol.pl (22:53:30): Air Man: "We have company..."
drascin (22:54:19): Ashe: You could give up and turn in quietly, you know
cubey@aol.pl (22:54:36): Flash Man: "You're kidding, right? It's getting good only now."
drascin (22:54:42): They never do, but Ashe, ever the optimist, keeps trying every time
cubey@aol.pl (22:54:57): ???: "Especially since we aren't foolish enough not to expect this."
drascin (22:56:00): Ashe: Hey, I had to give you the chance. Just kicking people in the head is impolite
tengusaur (22:56:02): Daniel: "Rock... I knew you'd get into trouble."
Peter Kampschroeder (22:56:16): Jen: "...What did we walk in on."
tormterra (22:56:23): Kei: "I don't think anybody expected this kind of trouble, though."
cubey@aol.pl (22:56:33): What did you walk into... was an ambush.
tengusaur (22:56:43): Daniel: "Can't really blame you, though."
cubey@aol.pl (22:57:08): From all directions - the woods, the sea, the walls of the facility, especially the last one, mass produced Wily robots step and fly forward, weapons raised.
cubey@aol.pl (22:57:19): And atop the facility walls...
cubey@aol.pl (22:57:29): Three new Wily Numbers.
cubey@aol.pl (22:57:38): Crash Man
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/b/bb/CrashMegamix.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100213194809
Heat Man
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/b/b9/HeatMegamix.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100213194838
Metal Man
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/c/c6/Metal.gif/revision/latest?cb=20100128194124
cubey@aol.pl (22:58:14): Metal Man: "We knew Unity Group would make its move. This is why Air Man and Flash Man only had to buy time."
Wyverncakes (22:58:45): More Robots!
cubey@aol.pl (22:58:53): Heat Man: "Buy time... for good old Light Numbers to join us! And they did!"
Wyverncakes (22:58:58): Hibiki: "Chris... Chris where are you?!"
Wyverncakes (22:59:03): "Chris!"
troublefirecat (22:59:14): Rock:?!
drascin (22:59:22): Ashe: Mind-control again?!
cubey@aol.pl (22:59:26): Metal Man: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (22:59:46): Metal Man: "Dr Wily only used words to persuade them. They saw the error of trying to serve ingrateful humans."
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:03): Metal Man: "They have decided to aid us in creating a robot utopia instead. Here they are."
troublefirecat (23:00:13): Rock: I don't believe you!
tengusaur (23:00:28): Daniel: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:32): Regardless Rock - familiar faces appear in the crowd of robots around you.
tormterra (23:00:49): Kei: "So you're going to respond to injustice by turning it on its head?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:52): Guts Man, Cut Man, Bomb Man, and Fire Man too.
cubey@aol.pl (23:00:55): All of them are here.
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:01): They nod to each other wordlessly.
Peter Kampschroeder (23:01:08): Jen: "You couldn't just build it somewhere nobody lives?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:12): And start blasting the crap out of enemies that surround you!
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:19): Metal Man: "What the..."
drascin (23:01:25): Ashe grins
drascin (23:01:40): Ashe: You guys have no idea how a family works, do you?!
troublefirecat (23:01:43): Rock: Guy!
tengusaur (23:01:43): Daniel: "Looks like we're not the only ones who stepped into a trap."
cubey@aol.pl (23:01:46): Cut Man: "You've been had, buddy!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:07): Bomb Man: "We only needed a chance to get out of the cell. Sorry but it was a trick!"
troublefirecat (23:02:09): *Guys
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:35): Metal Man: "Second Numbers, destroy them. All of them!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:41): Also...
cubey@aol.pl (23:02:49): Chris: "You..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:03:02): The Nehushtan wearer slowly stands up from under a half-broken tree.
cubey@aol.pl (23:03:13): Chris: "Nnngh...! You...!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:03:34): She grits her teeth - you can see parts of Nehushtan missing. But they start regrowing, in a painfully visible process.
troublefirecat (23:04:01): Rock: Where are Elec Man and Ice Man?
cubey@aol.pl (23:04:33): Fire Man: "They're off to stop dr Wily! Let's join 'em - after we take care of business here!"
troublefirecat (23:05:04): Rock: Right!
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:19): Enemies: Flash Man, Air Man (damaged), Metal Man, Heat Man, Crash Man, Sniper Joe x60, Lightning Lord x12, Metool x20
Wyverncakes (23:05:21): Hibiki gapes a little at first at seeing the armor repair... but at least that meant she was still alright.
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:28): Sniper Joe
http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/7/70/CW-SniperJoe-Art.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100531151127
Metool
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/d/dc/Met.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090301231856
Lightning Lord
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/6/6a/MM2LightningLordArt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100505042841
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:37): Rock, Ashe, Kei, go now!
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:40): As for Hibiki...
cubey@aol.pl (23:05:57): Chris: "What are you looking at? Are you giving me pity, huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:05): Chris: "Stop screwing around!"
drascin (23:06:16): Model A: Will they be alright? There were eight cloaked guys last time... I'm missing three! If they're guarding that Wily guy, it'll be three against two!
Ashe: Well, Model A... that just means we have to finish quickly here!
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:51): With desperation in her voice, she generates a double Nirvana Gedon! Two black energy balls thrown towards Hibiki, each tearing its way through anything as it goes!
cubey@aol.pl (23:06:53): React, Hibiki!
Wyverncakes (23:07:49): Hibiki: "I'm looking... at someone I want to know!"
Wyverncakes (23:07:53): "And someone-"
drascin (23:08:52): *And indeed, Ashe doesn't waste a second to break into the offensive, zooming into the fray while shooting a storm of seeking lightning bolts at Metal Man!+
drascin (23:08:54): Ashe: Hey, Chainsaw Man! This is for messing with my friend!
Wyverncakes (23:10:01): * As the balls hurtle at Hibiki, she slips into a tight boxing stance and dashes in, to weave to the right and then the left as she closes in against Chris... and as she comes up from that second weaving... she lets her momentum guide her left fist into a precise body blow, a liver blow, to ground her again! "-Someone I don't want to fight anymore!"+
tormterra (23:10:06): * "Daniel, you have wide-area bullets, right? If so, target it here to break up the formation of the little ones," she pinged somewhere in the middle of where the largest crowd of Sniper Joes was coming from, "and then move on to suppression fire to give others the space to deal directly with the enemy leaders." +
cubey@aol.pl (23:10:14): Metal Man runs down the facility wall - with incredible balance as his gyros adjust, and speed, letting only a few bolts graze him.
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:21): Metal Man: "Are you also a robot? Don't you see the humans' tyranny?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:11:51): He throws a circular blade in Ashe's direction - and at the same time, two of the cloud dwelling robots rain their own thundebolts from above. React!
tengusaur (23:12:40): Daniel: "Right. Genevieve, let's do this." He loads a single bullet into the Gun of God, aims carefully at the group of Sniper Joes, and fires - the shot splits mid-flight into a dozen smaller pieces, each unfolding into a full-sized bullet, and they rain on the robot mooks in a destructive manner! After the attack he ejects the empty casing and spins the chamber to a Lucia beam generator, starting to lay suppression fire at the swarm of enemies. +
tengusaur (23:12:55): Daniel: "The harlequin girl. She with Wily?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:13:49): Daniel's area attacks destroy a whole group of human-sized Joes.
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:29): However once the attack fades, some of them are still standing - having managed to use their shields for protection. A few of them start firing back, only for Lucia beams to cut them down.
tormterra (23:14:38): Kei: "I don't think so...But maybe she is, we don't know much about her."
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:46): But the small helmet-like Metools stand up from their helmets' protection, and spit small energy balls in his direction!
cubey@aol.pl (23:14:47): React!
cubey@aol.pl (23:15:19): At the same time, Hibiki passes under the energy attack - and another. That was close...
cubey@aol.pl (23:15:50): But not as close as you are to Chris right now. Your own punch - hitting her solidly, her stance open and inviting!
cubey@aol.pl (23:15:58): Chris: "Gk..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:07): More cracks appear on Nehushtan.
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:15): The whole armor is cracked heavily now...
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:21): And explodes!
cubey@aol.pl (23:16:42): Shards, smaller and larger parts of it fly in all directions, leaving its user in a state of nakedness.
tengusaur (23:16:50): Daniel: "She's not a robot, then." Seeing the energy balls coming in, he hides behind a nearby building, using it as cover. He knows firing normal blasts at these enemies is useless... Or maybe he doesn't like to destroy them for some reason.+
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:26): The projectiles harmlessly pass through nothing, along the floor while not hitting anyone.
cubey@aol.pl (23:17:38): Chris: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:18:12): Chris: "Killiter Ichaival Tron."
Wyverncakes (23:18:17): Hibiki: "I'm sorry, Chris-cha-"
Wyverncakes (23:18:23): What the-?
cubey@aol.pl (23:18:26): She starts to sing.
Peter Kampschroeder (23:18:47): Jen: "...Why is she singing."
cubey@aol.pl (23:18:56): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYNFl1rEOmA
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:06): And an armor of a Relic user - a new one, forms around her!
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:25): Chris: "You... you made me sing!"
tormterra (23:19:28): Kei: "It's how relics work. Don't ask." At least she wasn't singing that song
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:32): Ichaival
https://newanimethursday.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/screen-shot-2012-03-10-at-8-56-40-pm.png
Wyverncakes (23:19:36): Hibiki: "... You're right!"
Wyverncakes (23:19:40): "And you sounded really good too!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:19:46): Chris: "I hate singing! Damn you!"
Wyverncakes (23:19:50): Have a really bright smile sent your way, Chri-
Wyverncakes (23:19:54): ... Oh.
drascin (23:19:55): *Seeing the attacks coming, Mega Man A's shape suddenly breaks into purple as Siarnaq leaps to the side and zooms horizontally along the wall. And suddenly, she jumps into one of the pilars - and bounces - and bounces again, from one to the other, and out of nowhere there's a rather large laser shuriken in Siarnaq's hand that is sent straight back by the same route the metal blade had come by!+
drascin (23:20:04): Siarnaq: Mine's bigger!
cubey@aol.pl (23:20:22): Instead of a smile back, she starts shooting both chainguns - and missile launchers out of nowhere as well!
cubey@aol.pl (23:20:34): Say hello to a huge barrage of gunfire. React again, Hibiki.
tengusaur (23:20:44): Daniel: "...That's a lot of guns."
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:12): Jen and Daniel, can go now.
drascin (23:21:13): Model A: Oh boy. And I thought Atlas was kinda compensating already...
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:25): New enemies: Ichaival (Chris)
Peter Kampschroeder (23:21:31): # Hibiki ?
cubey@aol.pl (23:21:33): Approved.
tengusaur (23:22:35): (can I have an enemy list?)
Wyverncakes (23:22:52): * Roll out of the way! Roll out of the way of all the dakka!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:22:53): Enemies: Flash Man, Air Man (damaged), Metal Man (light damage), Heat Man, Crash Man, Sniper Joe x42, Lightning Lord x12, Metool x20, Ichaival (Chris)
Peter Kampschroeder (23:24:06): *Cethlenn's been hanging back-but not so much anymore. The robot sprits into the battle, sliding the last stretch of distance to use its body as a shield for Hibiki. Jen's pistol shifts form and shape as she slides, turning into a bullpup rifle-which she opens up with on the crowd of sniper joes.+
tengusaur (23:24:39): Daniel: "That fan is messing up too much. I'll stop it." He switches to an Andrew bullet, and fires it in Air Man's direction. The shot spreads into a net of sticky foam on impact, hopefully gooping up the robot master's weapon and immobilizing him! &
cubey@aol.pl (23:25:02): A series of explosions rumbles through the ground as Hibiki tries to get out of harm's way. It's stopped only when Cethlenn moves in to serve as a tank, getting the end of the barrage - though it doesn't make Chris's shooting any more intense, she simply ran out of missiles (temporarily).
cubey@aol.pl (23:25:51): Seeing the bullpop rifle in Cethlenn's hands, some Joes block with their shields. Others fire. The shots destroy all of the latter and some of the former - but now you have energy blasts coming in your direction Jen. React!
cubey@aol.pl (23:26:52): Air Man decides to counter with tornado shots of his own... and then he's immobilized!
cubey@aol.pl (23:27:08): Air Man: "Damn human, what kind of trick is this?!"
Wyverncakes (23:27:16): It's only after she's finished dodging that Hibiki notices the person who stepped in for her. "Ah, Jen! Are you alright?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:27:28): His fan starts going into overdrive, the Number spinning to try to set himself free. But you still have those shots to worry about. React/continue.
Peter Kampschroeder (23:28:22): Jen: "I'm fine! Worry about yourself!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:28:26): Metal Man continues on his descent - only to see the shuriken coming!
cubey@aol.pl (23:28:35): Metal Man: "Not bad... but!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:28:57): At the very last moment, he swerves - running to the side of the wall temporarily, however the shuriken still glances at his side.
tengusaur (23:29:18): * Daniel hides behind his cover again, waiting for the first barrage of projectiles to pass while he's switching ammo. And then he jumps from behind cover, shooting two armor-piercing bulllets at the immobilized Airman in quick succession. +
Peter Kampschroeder (23:29:18): *Cethlenn doesn't stick around for those energy shots, rolling frantically to avoid them. Between a few rolls Jen fires back, though never for very long.+
cubey@aol.pl (23:29:24): At the same time, the last of the thunderbolt attacks hits Ashe, giving her a shock!
cubey@aol.pl (23:29:50): Hibiki, Rock, Ashe, you can go.
Wyverncakes (23:30:43): All of those guns would make taking Chris on difficult, but Hibiki knew she had to at least keep on trying.
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:47): The cover is rattled by the air attacks - despite it being a thick wall.
cubey@aol.pl (23:30:54): But as Daniel fires back...
cubey@aol.pl (23:31:02): Air Man: "Dr Wily, I..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:31:15): There are two small explosions as the bullets hit, followed by a big one!
drascin (23:31:41): Ashe: Not too shabby. Let's see how you keep up!
cubey@aol.pl (23:32:14): Jen manages to avoid the attacks while gunning down a few Joes more, and good. Cethlenn is pretty beaten up right now!
tengusaur (23:32:32): Daniel: "There. I beat him."
cubey@aol.pl (23:33:08): Chris: "Who the hell you guys think you are?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:33:22): Chris: "Some kind of do gooders who think they can run around and do everything better? Yeah right!"
drascin (23:33:25): Ashe: The good guys! Who else?
Wyverncakes (23:33:27): Hibiki: "Ah, well we're the Unity Group!"
Wyverncakes (23:33:30): "And we have been!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:33:36): Chris: "I know your name, dumbass!"
Wyverncakes (23:33:56): "Then why did you ask?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:34:00): She pauses the gunfire to facepalm.
Wyverncakes (23:34:01): Hibiki being derp.
Wyverncakes (23:34:05): Oh hey!
Wyverncakes (23:34:06): An opening!
Peter Kampschroeder (23:34:08): Jen: "Okay, what on earth is your beef?"
tormterra (23:34:45): Kei: "I understand the ambiguity. I mean, it is really hard to tell if stopping the Wulgaru from entering the solar system and preventing that crazy professor from eradicating humanity were good things or not."
Wyverncakes (23:35:19): * Hibiki runs towards the Cethlenn, jumping up towards it! "Miss Jen, please don't move for just a moment!" And as she landed on the machine's shoulder her leg pistons snapped out again, letting her flip up into the air to get up and over Chris, and deliver a shoulder-tackle to her from behind!+
drascin (23:35:55): *And suddenly Aeolus just bursts forward, closing in with Metal Man in a blink, suddenly pressuring him in melee, the pink laser blades whirling in an extremely fast, precise twister of cuts and electricity!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:36:10): Chris: "You people are working for the established system, that just turns a blind eye when..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:37:05): She's interrupted - an attack from behind!
Peter Kampschroeder (23:37:20): Jen: "Sure, I-wait, what did you say?"
drascin (23:38:13): Model A: "System"? You haven't met Ashe, have you?
(she can't hear you, Model A)
troublefirecat (23:38:16): Rock dashes forward again and fires his buster at Flash Man. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:21): Chris: "Screw you!" It's not clear who she's addressing - but as Hibiki jumps towards her, she suddenly grabs at a crossbow that is created from her forearm armor. And fires it under the shoulder, at the Relic user behind her!
cubey@aol.pl (23:38:38): Very close-ranged energy bolts, homing at you Hibiki. React!
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:40): Flash Man: "Oh yes, mano el mano. Time Stopper, go!"
Wyverncakes (23:39:45): * So close to Chris and with her momentum guiding her, all Hibiki can think to do is turn her charge into a diving lunge, swinging her body down mid-movement and reaching out to grab at Chris's legs and get her off her feet!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:39:52): Flash Man disappears, the buster shots hitting only thin air.
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:02): He's behind Rock, preparing to fire his own buster at his back!
cubey@aol.pl (23:40:04): React!
troublefirecat (23:40:18): Rock: Wha-?!
tengusaur (23:40:34): Daniel: "Behind you!"
troublefirecat (23:41:04): Rock is taken off guard, how did he move so fast?! But he tries to dodge the buster attack anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (23:42:18): Metal Man doesn't say anything, he only tries to cut back at the laser blades wih his own throwning circular saws, holding them in hand - though they spin anyway! React, Ashe.
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:07): The crossbow bolts are shot off somewhere under Hibiki.
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:12): Chris: "What are you.. oof!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:43:35): She's thrown to the ground - but quickly fires another round, forcing Hibiki away, the bolts hitting her painfully!
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:16): Chris: "You want to change the world, you just gotta beat up everyone who disagrees with you. Isn't that right?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:40): Rock tries to dodge... but he is only partially successful.
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:47): He drops down to the ground, his shoulder smoking.
Wyverncakes (23:44:50): Hibiki: "Uh... are you..."
cubey@aol.pl (23:44:58): Flash Man: "That's all? I'm disappointed..."
troublefirecat (23:44:59): Rock: Ah!
Wyverncakes (23:45:02): "Saying we're doing that or you believe that?"
Wyverncakes (23:45:07): She tries to smile weakly.
troublefirecat (23:45:22): Rock climbs to his feet again.
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:23): Cut Man: "Rock!"
Wyverncakes (23:45:24): "I still want to get to know you, Chris-chan!"
tengusaur (23:45:32): Daniel: "..."
troublefirecat (23:45:53): "I'm not done yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:45:57): Chris: "I can't believe you! Have you fallen on your head one too many times?!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:46:04): Kei, Jen, Daniel, go!
drascin (23:46:23): *Ashe is going to keep the pressure, then, using Aeolus's superhuman speed to attack at all angles in order to keep Metal Man's spinning blades blocking and on the defensive - and all of a sudden a huge burst of wind out of nowhere hits both combatants from underneath, as Ashe creates a massive wind pressure for an instant to unbalance Metal man before moving with a cross cut!+
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:09): The two are evenly matched - but the wind burst was something Metal Man did not expect, and cannot react to fast enough. There is a deep gash across his torso now!
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:23): Metal Man: "Guh... well done. Impressive."
cubey@aol.pl (23:47:44): Metal Man: "But every passing second furthers dr Wily's plan. You have no time..."
tengusaur (23:47:59): * Daniel spins the chamber of the Gun of God and starts slamming down on the hammer repeatedly. Suddenly a big barrage of small energy shots is flying towards Flash Man! He's going to keep this up until the Lucia generator burns out, which will probably be soon. +
tengusaur (23:48:12): Daniel: "...Plan?"
tormterra (23:48:16): (Enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (23:48:21): Enemies: Flash Man, Metal Man (heavy damage), Heat Man, Crash Man, Sniper Joe x26, Lightning Lord x12, Metool x20, Ichaival (Chris)
drascin (23:48:25): Model A: You're not too bad for a guy with a buzzsaw on his head, either
Ashe: ...uh oh. I don't like the sound of "plan"
troublefirecat (23:48:27): Rock: "What is Wily up to?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:48:43): Heat Man: "Wouldn't you like to know? But I'll tell you this, hee hee."
cubey@aol.pl (23:48:48): Heat Man: "It's not good for humans."
tengusaur (23:49:03): Daniel: "Figured as much already."
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:15): Flash Man glances over his shoulder. He cannot time stop so soon again!
drascin (23:49:35): Model A: Well, I'm not human! Couldn't you tell me? Pretty please?
cubey@aol.pl (23:49:48): But as he tries to escape, Heat Man throws atomic fire in the Steel Wanderer's direction!
drascin (23:50:06): Ashe: Nice try, Model A, but I don't think that's going to work
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:12): Heat Man: "Can't even handle a single human? I'll burn him for you, don't worry."
cubey@aol.pl (23:50:43): Daniel react.
Peter Kampschroeder (23:51:22): *Jen: "What are you-One of the guys we fought wanted to rape my friend and kill everyone on earth!" Cethlenn ducks behind a crumbled wall for a moment to reload-and heal its wounds as much as possible. "I wouldn't be beating people up if they weren't crying out for a fist to the face!" Still trying to keep as much behind cover as possible, Cethlenn peeks over and fires on the Lightning Lords and other MP units. "If you've got a problem with us, then let's just talk it out, for christ's sake!"+
tormterra (23:52:51): * "...That one can't use his teleportation, or whatever it is, right now. Take him down before he can recover the ability. Jen, turn away from the smaller ones for a bit to target him using a weapon covering the area in as much fire as possible to make it harder for him to dodge in a conventional manner. Targeting data for how to cover it so he won't have places to dodge to coming in." +
tengusaur (23:53:05): Daniel: "Cyborg. Technically." He doesn't have a good counter to nullify those fires, so instead he tries to jump to the side, shooting the last beam shot to the ground in order to create an obscuring cloud of steam around Steel Wanderer. +
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:16): Chris: "Funny you say that. It's the same for me! That's why I'll be taking her, and if you don't like it, you're the ones taking a fist to the face!"
Wyverncakes (23:53:49): Hibiki: "Taking me?"
cubey@aol.pl (23:53:57): Two Lightning Lords are shot down, their clouds remaining for some reason.
cubey@aol.pl (23:54:10): A few others start floating towards Cethlenn, throwing more bolts from above.
cubey@aol.pl (23:54:17): React, also take Kei action!
Peter Kampschroeder (23:54:52): Jen: "Yeah, real big talk, punk."
Wyverncakes (23:55:12): # Jen?
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:18): Chris: "Look who's talking! I've landed all the hits on you, tin can!"
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:20): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (23:55:59): Daniel's shots explode around Flash Man's feet, throwing him to the ground and giving Rock a chance to get up.
cubey@aol.pl (23:56:33): However even while throwing haphazardly, Heat Man still manages to throw a flaming bit of something on the Wanderer, which starts to burn a hole in its armor.
cubey@aol.pl (23:56:52): Hibiki, Rock, Ashe, go.
Wyverncakes (23:57:04): (Can I combine this with my action then?)
cubey@aol.pl (23:57:09): (yes)
drascin (23:57:39): Ashe: You guys doing alright with miss loudmouth over there?
tengusaur (23:58:08): Daniel: "I see. Combat-focused robots... These guys are good."
Wyverncakes (23:58:33): * Hibiki's not going to just turn a blind eye to a friend who's helped her, far from it! She springs high into the air, but positioning was everything here as she spun around to kick into the Lightning Lords! "Please Chris, at least help us right now! The Robot Masters said whatever they're planning would be bad for people... bad for everyone!" And to "force" Chris's cooperation, Hibiki would let her kicks send those Lightning Lords at the other Relic user!+
Peter Kampschroeder (23:59:06): *Cethlenn doesn't turn to face Chris, staring down those lightning lords instead as she dashes and rolls to evade-and gathers material in her left hand. "Ever thought I just didn't want to turn you into a pink stain!" The ball of stuff is chucked at Flash Man as ordered-splitting into many smaller pieces as it falls. Grenades, to be specific, and they explode as they hit the ground.+
18 August 2015
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:34): Chris: "What are you? I'm going to make a new world where..." She seems to hesitate, and the two more robots flying in her direction do not help with her confidence. "Tch!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:00:55): They are quickly gunned down by gatlings, while Jen gets out of harm's way...
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:02): While explosions go off all around Flash Man!
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:13): Flash Man: "Ha ha ha! Kh... yes, yes! Now it's a show!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:30): Though heavily damaged, he grins even more widely.
cubey@aol.pl (00:01:47): Licking his lips with a disturbingly long tongue. That was unexpected
Wyverncakes (00:03:02): Hibiki: "But if Dr. Wily's able to do whatever he's planning, there might not be any humans left for anyone's new world!"
Wyverncakes (00:03:14): Flash Man and Air Man had been talking about robots ruling over people, after all.
Wyverncakes (00:03:58): "I want to help make the world a better place, and it sounds like you do too, so please Chris!"
drascin (00:03:59): Aeolus, meanwhile, advances a single step towards Metal Man, the blades sparking with electricity.
Ashe: Alright then, Chainsaw Man. You know what happens now, right?
Wyverncakes (00:04:10): "Let's work together to make sure that's possible!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:04:14): Metal Man: "Metal Man."
cubey@aol.pl (00:04:27): The blades in his hands spin, his stance lowering in preparation for a leap.
drascin (00:05:03): *...and suddenly instead of moving in for the kill on the heavily damaged robot, the green shape basically disappears, boosting through the room in a blink and smashing into Heat Man - having already turned blue by the time the body hits. Thetis winks as his mighty ice-charged naginata descends on the Robot Master before he can fire at Daniel again+
Ashe: What happens is a feint! Surprise!
cubey@aol.pl (00:05:18): Metal Man: "What?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:05:24): Heat Man: "WHAAAT?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:28): Heat Man is cut into deeply - his fire extinguished, his body falling down by the wall!
cubey@aol.pl (00:06:46): Heat Man: "My heat... my beautiful heat is gone?! How can I scorch anything now!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:09): But Metal Man, even if it was a feint, was prepared for an attack - and attack he does. A swarm of metal blades flying towards Ashe's back! React!
cubey@aol.pl (00:07:38): (Heat Man might as well count as downed for now)
troublefirecat (00:07:53): Rock's going to take his opportunity while Flash Man is distracted, preparing a charged shot. "How's this for a show!" He fires the shot at Flash Man. +
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:44): Flash Man: "Flashy, but..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:08:54): He raises his own buster, preparing to fire...
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:15): Only for an energy bolt to hit it from the side, a small explosion disabling it!
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:27): And Rock's charged shot bursting a hole through his chest!
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:36): Flash Man: "No! The fight's not over... not yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:39): He falls down on his back.
cubey@aol.pl (00:09:41): Chris: "Tch!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:09): She lowers a crossbow.
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:19): Kei, Jen, Daniel, you can go now.
tengusaur (00:10:25): (what's left?)
cubey@aol.pl (00:10:45): Enemies: Metal Man (heavy damage), Crash Man, Sniper Joe x26, Lightning Lord x8, Metool x20, Ichaival (Chris)
drascin (00:10:58): *For an instant, Ashe considers simply teleporting away and letting the incoming blades hit Heat Man behind her. But even when dealing with robots, Ashe has trouble with taking out people who are already down. So instead she remains, and she frowns as Thetis's staff-naginata spins and twirls in extremely fast, calculated ways, deflecting the disks+
drascin (00:12:29): Ashe: You're going to hit your own guys! Ever heard of friendly fire?!
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:33): Thetis-form Ashe has difficulty deflecting the disks - even though your aim is good, they are very potent and cut deeply into the staff... and eventually, into you as well, though the deflection means you managed to avoid direct hits!
cubey@aol.pl (00:12:48): Metal Man: "No. I expected this to happen."
tengusaur (00:13:33): Daniel: "Almost done. Let's cut down the number of mooks a bit." Steel Wanderer hides behind a wall, loading a Barbara bullet into the Gun of God, then goes behind the corner, fires, and hides again! The bullet is heading towards the Sniper Joe that's in the middle of where the enemies are the thickest - and in addition to a normal shot, a few seconds later it explodes, enveloping nearby targets! +
cubey@aol.pl (00:14:28): The Sniper Joes are forced into defense, but from another side of the battlefield a group of Metools waddles forward while alternately firing and trying to hide under their helmets.
cubey@aol.pl (00:14:30): React, Daniel!
cubey@aol.pl (00:14:38): Also, not many Joes left...
Peter Kampschroeder (00:14:49): Jen: "They sure didn't skimp on bringing in the small fries, did they!?"
drascin (00:14:58): Model A: Wow. Risking a friend's life on a stranger you don't even know. That's cold.
Ashe: Ugh! (yeah, that cut was unpleasant)
tengusaur (00:17:02): Daniel: "...More of those." Looks like they're trying to catch him in a pincer. In that case, he quickly starts running to another gunning spot, firing a single shot at the Metools to cover his escape. It's a Medard, and envelopes the nearby targets in electrical currents upon impact. +
tengusaur (00:17:38): Daniel: "Who makes a combat robot that looks like this, anyway..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:18:10): The Metools' assault is relatively easy to avoid, with only a few glancing shots that do not evne penetrate armor.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:18:15): *There's still way too many bad guys for comfort, and something about a plan...So Jen keeps firing at the various grunts, in particular the lightning lords. However-now, the bullets from her rifle have some nanobots attached, copying the corrosion attack that Doomstar used. Though it'll make it harder to repair the hits she's taken so far...+
cubey@aol.pl (00:18:23): The Metools are shocked, some of them turning upside down.
cubey@aol.pl (00:18:30): Their little legs flailing.
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:46): Jen shoots at a few Lightning Lords - the corrosion eating into them.
cubey@aol.pl (00:19:54): The rest, surprisingly, are starting to fly off towards the sea.
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:02): A transmission begins.
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:11): Metal Man: "... It is too late. You have lost."
Wyverncakes (00:20:23): Hibiki: "Eh?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:20:40): The transmission shows the moustachioed face of Dr Wily!
cubey@aol.pl (00:21:38): Dr Wily: "ESUN high council. I order you to disband and cede all leadership to me, as the new leader of Earth."
cubey@aol.pl (00:22:00): Dr Wily: "If you disagree, I will destroy the Earth."
tengusaur (00:22:11): Daniel: "..."
Wyverncakes (00:22:18): Hibiki: "Ah!"
drascin (00:22:53): Ashe: Wait, what?
troublefirecat (00:23:02): Rock: !
Peter Kampschroeder (00:23:05): Jen: "He's kidding, right?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:23:08): The display changes to show some kind of a device. It looks like a satellite - but its main body is shaped like a skull.
cubey@aol.pl (00:23:24): Dr Wily: "Using these Skull Satellites, I have enough firepower to wipe any country off the face of the Earth."
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:16): Dr Wily: "I am giving you 8 hours to respond to my ultimatum. In the meantime... a demonstration is in order."
tormterra (00:24:18): Kei: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:24:41): You hear something approaching.
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:02): A car, driven by an unremarkable brown-haired man with glasses, quickly moves in at top speed!
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:17): Its doors open, and from inside emerges...
cubey@aol.pl (00:25:31): Dr Light: "Rock! Unity Group members! You saw that, didn't you?"
troublefirecat (00:25:48): Rock: Dr. Light!
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:03): Roll: "Wily's going to blow up the Earth. Or at the very least, parts of it!"
tengusaur (00:26:11): Daniel: "Yes. We gotta stop him somehow."
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:23): Dr Light's cleaner/helper (who is also a robot) is here too.
troublefirecat (00:26:42): Rock: Roll!
cubey@aol.pl (00:26:51): Dr Light: "All's not lost. I am tracking Elec Man and Ice Man. Their signals are coming from an artificial island off the coast of Japan."
tormterra (00:26:52): Kei: "The question is how...Can we get support from ESUN forces in space?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:15): Dr Light: "I'm sure that's where Dr Wily's hideout is. You need to destroy the satelites - before they launch!"
drascin (00:27:16): Ashe: Yeah, aren't we supposed to have guys in space in case of these things?
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:22): Roll: "Can you do that, Rock?"
drascin (00:27:34): Model A: Remember what happened to Star Rose?
Ashe: Oh. Right.
troublefirecat (00:27:40): Rock: Of course I can! Just leave it to me!
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:44): Dr Light: "True, but it's possible dr Wily will fire them as soon as they enter space, before they can be intercepted!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:27:55): At the same time...
Peter Kampschroeder (00:28:05): Jen: "Wait, are we-we're not going to that island now, are we?"
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:09): The remaining Sniper Joes are thrown to the sides as a mighty robot rises among them.
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:19): Guts Man: "Leave small fry to us!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:28:50): Dr Light: "I'm counting on you. Please bring it in Roll. I knew it might come in handy."
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:02): Roll opens the trunk and retrieves...
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:13): Dr Light: "Take this, Rock. It's the Item-2!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:29:17): A large hoverboard!
tengusaur (00:29:28): Daniel: "Alright then. He won't have his demonstration."
troublefirecat (00:29:30): Rock catches it, looking momentarily surprised.
drascin (00:30:24): Ashe: Well of course we're going to that island now! What would we be waiting for?
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:30): Dr Light: "You should have the coordinates. Go now, there's no time to waste!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:46): Around you, a fight rages on. Metal Man and Crash Man are fighting the Light Numbers, and the latter are winning.
cubey@aol.pl (00:30:51): And Chris... is gone somewhere.
Wyverncakes (00:30:57): Hibiki: "Right, Dr. Light, but please just one moment-"
troublefirecat (00:30:57): Then he nods, instantly understanding. "Right! Thank you Dr. Light." And now he's gets on the Item-2 hoverboard and prepares to take off.
Wyverncakes (00:30:59): ... Well drat.
Wyverncakes (00:31:10): Here she was hoping Chris would still be around.
tormterra (00:31:16): Kei: "Understood."
troublefirecat (00:31:31): "Come on you guys! We have to stop those satillites!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:31:36): Time to fly towards the fortress!
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:25): The car's driver speaks up.
tormterra (00:32:35): Kei: "Right."
Peter Kampschroeder (00:32:44): Jen: "...we are actually doing this."
cubey@aol.pl (00:32:52): Mr Ogawa: "Realizing the capabilities of some of Unity Group's units, I have taken liberty of organising transport."
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:01): A shuttle is approaching as well - open, but not slowing!
cubey@aol.pl (00:33:32): Pilot: "Jump in! There is no time to waste!"
tengusaur (00:33:37): Daniel: "...Dynamic boarding."
tengusaur (00:34:13): Daniel: "Well then. Here comes."
Peter Kampschroeder (00:34:22): Jen: "At least this is familiar-" She runs up after the plane, using her grappling hooks to get aboard faster.
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:48): Rock is fastest to give chase - both because he does not have to wait, and due to Item-2's speed.
cubey@aol.pl (00:34:58): Others follow after, either on their own power or inside the shuttle.
Wyverncakes (00:35:02): Hibiki leaps only after the briefest of looks.
tengusaur (00:35:06): Steel Wanderer climbs on the tallest point of the area, and just as the shuttle passes by, it barrels into the open hatch! Or just hangs onto it with a hand.
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:15): However at the same time...
drascin (00:35:19): Ashe is going to turn into Aeolus and grab to the outside of the shuttle. Someone should probably stay on the outside to down any approaching enemies just in case
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:29): Heat Man: "Damn! This is not going well..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:35:59): Crash Man: "You said it. But dr Wily's plan... hey! What are you doing? Give that back...!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:18): Heat Man grabs a Crash Bomb (which you can't see) - and eats it!
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:24): His fire flares anew!
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:30): Heat Man: "Ohh yeah! That's the stuff!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:36:53): The shuttle, Rock and Purple Two are getting close to the island.
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:00): You can see the fortress - and it's skull shaped.
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:17): But around you, the remaining Lightning Lords are swarming, with more flying from the island's direction.
Peter Kampschroeder (00:37:18): Jen: "...another skull..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:23): And also...
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:41): Heat Man: "I'm back! Burn to ashes now!"
tormterra (00:37:46): Kei: "The decoration scheme is our least concern."
cubey@aol.pl (00:37:58): Heat Man is flying towards you from the mainland, a fiery comet.
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:03): While from underneath...
troublefirecat (00:38:06): Rock: You're still up?!
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:10): Something shoots a harpoon at the shuttle!
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:16): Bubble Man
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/4/43/BubbleMegamix.png/revision/latest?cb=20100209185857
tengusaur (00:38:24): Daniel: "Still after us..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:27): Enemies: Heat Man, Bubble Man, Lightining Lord x10
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:32): Kei, Hibiki, Rock, go!
drascin (00:38:45): (can I # to stop the harpoon, since I'm on the outside?)
cubey@aol.pl (00:38:50): (Yes)
tormterra (00:40:17): * "The fiery one appears to be rocket powered, his maneuverability should be terrible. Daniel, use your most accurate bullet to shoot him out of the air before he can reach us. I'm sending his projected path based on trajectory and speed to help you adjust the aim." +
Wyverncakes (00:40:41): Stuck in the shuttle and with little in regards to ranged combat, Hibiki does the only thing she can think of in this kind of situation!
Wyverncakes (00:41:02): "Smith-san was able to do something like this before... and if we're moving so fast..."
drascin (00:41:11): *Seeing the projectile coming from underneath, Ashe jumps off from the shuttle's wing (she seems to jump off places a lot, lately), heading to meet the incoming harpoon. But she turns slightly, so the harpoon passes close but not quite touching her - and as it's about to pass her Aeolus becomes Vulturon, and a shockwave of heavy metal hits the harpoon, to swerve it wildly off course+
tengusaur (00:41:25): Daniel: "Thanks. However..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:06): The harpoon attack has been neutralized.
cubey@aol.pl (00:42:30): Pilot: "Thank you. This wouldn't bring down a shuttle, but appreciated regardless."
drascin (00:43:53): Ashe: Couldn't risk it! I once took down an aiship with a length of metal, you know!
Wyverncakes (00:43:55): * Hibiki moves so she can get outside of the shuttle, making for the first handhold she can manage and with a piston punch already primed and ready! And with her free hand, she punches out at Heat Man's direction, the piston firing! Her actual attack obviously will fall as short as can be... but her intent... is to buffet the Robot Master with the punch's shockwave!+
tengusaur (00:44:06): * Daniel takes aim towards Heat Man, waiting for him to enter just the right place in the projected path... And at that moment he fires an armor-piercing Longinus bullet, from such an angle that the direction is directly opposite of the one which the enemy uses to approach. Even if it doesn't break through, it will still push him back far! +
tengusaur (00:44:13): Daniel: "All of them are accurate."
Peter Kampschroeder (00:45:17): @daniel?
cubey@aol.pl (00:45:20): Approved
troublefirecat (00:46:53): Rock, turns slightly, and points his buster behind him, firing a couple of shots at Heat Man. "We don't have time for this!" +
Peter Kampschroeder (00:47:11): *Jen: "...Cmon, you can do this..." Cethlenn crouches in the back of the shuttle, spraying bullets towards the flaming rocket that is Heat Man as well. Sweat drips down her brow as she tries to keep her aim steady.+
cubey@aol.pl (00:48:52): A barrage of projectiles flies off towards Heat Man - followed by a shockwave, and then comes the Longinus.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:02): Heat Man: "Oh no, I'm falling, I'm faa...."
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:07): Sploosh, into the water he goes!
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:14): Which immediately begins to boil around him.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:25): You can see Bubble Man quickly fleeing to evade damage from extreme heat.
cubey@aol.pl (00:49:49): Pilot: "Good job. I'm breaking through!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:50:20): Lightning Lords start shooting bolts at the shuttle, but it accelerates, the pilot thinking nothing of the accumulating damage - even ramming his way through several of them!
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:03): The shuttle doesn't slow down. It rams into the skull fortress.
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:29): You swear you heard a series of explosions behind you, but nevermind that.
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:34): What you see in front of yourself is...
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:44): Elec Man: "Who's there? Rock... no..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:51:51): A battered, barely moving body of Elec Man!
drascin (00:52:08): Ashe: Hey! Are you alright?
troublefirecat (00:52:11): Rock: Elec Man!
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:19): And behind him...
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:27): Two figures - one human sized, one much larger.
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:33): ???: "So you came."
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:38): Quick Man
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/5/51/Quick.gif/revision/latest?cb=20100205215450
Mecha Dragon
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/4/48/MechaDragonMegamix.png/revision/latest?cb=20091106203346
cubey@aol.pl (00:52:51): Quick Man: "This place will be your last."
Wyverncakes (00:53:21): Hibiki shakes her head resolutely!
cubey@aol.pl (00:53:22): Elec Man: "He is very powerful... don't..."
drascin (00:53:24): Ashe: Big words for a guy with a bean for a chest!
Peter Kampschroeder (00:53:44): Jen: "Damn..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:06): Above you, a part of the wall opens.
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:20): Behind it, protected by super thick armored glass and a force field is...
cubey@aol.pl (00:54:26): Dr Wily: "Welcome to my humble abode!"
tormterra (00:54:57): Kei: "We'll have to get Elec Man to safety...Can somebody the proper size and with arms do that?"
tengusaur (00:55:01): Daniel: "...You must be sure of your victory if you show up in person."
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:19): Dr Wily: "Yes, I am. Allow me not to waste any more time on you."
drascin (00:55:24): Ashe: On it, Kei
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:27): He pushes a button on a console.
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:32): The ceiling above you opens!
tengusaur (00:55:35): Daniel: "I'll cover you."
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:38): And...
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:49): Dr Wily: "Skull Satellite one. launching! Two, three..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:55:58): He pushes different buttons repeatedly - and you can see satellites taking off!
tengusaur (00:56:01): Daniel: "...!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:18): Dr Wily: "Seven, eight, nine..."
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYNFl1rEOmA
Peter Kampschroeder (00:56:25): Jen: "-Goddamn skull-"
cubey@aol.pl (00:56:45): Two of the freshly launched satellites explode, going down in flames thanks to massive gunfire!
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:07): Chris: "What the hell are you doing? You going to just stand there and watch?!"
Wyverncakes (00:57:13): Hibiki: "... Chris!"
tengusaur (00:57:34): Daniel: "...Unexpected. But not unwelcome."
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:37): ???: "Now's my chance!"
Peter Kampschroeder (00:57:53): Jen: "...Right! Everyone, we've got a job to do!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:57:56): A zap, and a blast of cold air comes from Wily's hiding place!
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:01): Dr Wily: "What?!"
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:09): He stares at his console - suddenly, flash frozen.
cubey@aol.pl (00:58:43): Ice Man: "I did it! I'll leave the rest to you guys, don't let me down!"
troublefirecat (00:58:50): Rock: Ice Man!
tengusaur (00:58:56): (can we open fire at the remaining satellites?)
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:17): Enemies: Quick Man, Mecha Dragon, Skull Satellites x7
cubey@aol.pl (00:59:31): Hibiki, Rock, Ashe, go!
troublefirecat (00:59:32): Now that Ice man has taken care of the console, Rock focuses on fighting at the Skull satellites.
troublefirecat (00:59:35): +
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:36): Quick Man's name is not just for show. As soon as Rock aims at the satellites, he lunges at him with incredible speed - his blade in arm, slashing down to cleave the young robot apart!
cubey@aol.pl (01:00:37): React.
drascin (01:00:54): *Well, if that isn't the best distraction she could ask for, nothing is. While Wily is busy yelling and Quick Man takes stock of the new arrival, Ashe is going to zoom past and grab Elec Man to get him out of there fast+
Wyverncakes (01:01:18): Seeing Chris again, Hibiki's looking really, really happy.
Wyverncakes (01:01:37): "I was sad when I couldn't find you after Wily's broadcast because I wanted to ask if you wanted to help..."
Wyverncakes (01:01:50): "But thank you very much for helping stop the sattelites!"
Wyverncakes (01:02:01): ^satellites
cubey@aol.pl (01:02:05): Chris: "Spare me the sentimental stuff! You want those things to laser the Earth? Take them down!"
troublefirecat (01:02:17): Rock, meanwhile, sees Quick Man coming, but he's moving so fast, he barely has time to dodge his attack.
tormterra (01:03:07): Kei: "...You could have tried to stop him before we got this far, you know." She paused for a bit. "But it's good to have the help, thanks."
troublefirecat (01:03:16): +
Wyverncakes (01:03:19): * Hibiki's already on her way, resigning herself to the lowest of the bunch as her leg pistons fire off to launch her towards a wall, and then fire again so she can get up and over it... for a fierce two-handed smash into the shuttle's top!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:03:29): Chris: "I just got here!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:15): The satellite is going up, but it's still low enough so Hibiki can reach it - and destroy it!
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:22): Chris: "So... damn, look out!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:04:39): But the Mecha Dragon lifts up to the skies and breathes a large stream of fire in Hibiki's direction.
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:02): At the same time, Rock is knocked off the Item-2 with the strength of the blow, which also leaves a deep cut in his chest armor!
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:13): Quick Man: "... Unimpressive."
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:18): He lands - atop the dragon's back.
cubey@aol.pl (01:05:33): At least Ashe managed to get Elec Man to safety - and it doesn't look like anyone is bothering you, or the shuttle.
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:28): Elec Man: "It is... like speeding up time. Watch out..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:06:44): Kei, Jen, Daniel, go
Wyverncakes (01:07:17): * Thanks to Chris's warning, Hibiki sees the dragon coming and jumps to try to get under its fire breath. But why then? So she can punch into the underside of its head to either knock that fire breath up into another satellite, or at least smash up the mouth!+
drascin (01:07:52): Being that she's the one carrying him to safety, Ashe hears what Elec Man says. And it gives her an idea.
Ashe: ...speeding up time, uh?
tengusaur (01:07:53): Looks like nobody is targetting Ashe, so Daniel can focus on taking care of the satellites. He takes aim at one of them, and quickly fires three armor-piercing shots: to both eyes and the skeletal nose! +
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:30): The satellite explodes - but others are getting higher and higher!
cubey@aol.pl (01:08:51): Dr Wily: "I cannot unleash the skull satellites on my own island!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:08:51): *Jen: "...If Sielje could see me now..." Jen opens fire on the mecha-dragon with her rifle-then uses her grappling hooks to pull herself into the air inside the giant base, getting closer to the dragon's level. And still shooting.+
tormterra (01:09:13): * Like others, Kei focuses on taking down the satelites, using the data provided by her assorted sensors and instruments not to guide others to find the weak spots and performing fire control calculations for herself. Even her light weaponry should be able to destroy them if it hit properly. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:10:03): The dragon suffers from repeated hits to the face, causing it to miss Hibiki - though she can feel the flames getting really close to her body...
tormterra (01:10:07): Kei: "She's probably politely pretend not to see that you were using ranged weaponry." The Ankaian was pretty clever about these things when push came to shove, after all
cubey@aol.pl (01:10:40): However the dragon and Quick Man are now swooping down on Jen, trying to bumrush Cethlenn and break it with sheer impact before going up towards the skies - and the satellites!
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:02): Another satelite is down, which leaves four.
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:07): Hibiki, Rock, Ashe - you can go.
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:26): Remaining satelites are high enough that reaching them without flight or sniping is nigh impossible.
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:31): But Quick Man is still in range!
Peter Kampschroeder (01:12:01): (do I do a react?)
cubey@aol.pl (01:12:05): (Yes, sorry)
drascin (01:12:50): Ashe: Ah crap. Can anyone chase those satellites?
tormterra (01:12:57): Kei: "On it."
troublefirecat (01:13:03): Rock steadies himself and adjusts item-2's trajectory to chase after the satellites, firing at them again, while letting the others focus on Quick Man. +
Wyverncakes (01:13:44): (Is Quick Man still on the dragon?)
drascin (01:13:46): Ashe: Thanks!
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:54): (Yes)
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:46): Rock and the hoverboard zoom around one of the satellites, bringing it down with a quick barrage.
drascin (01:14:49): Ashe: Alright, first things first - let's get that jerk down from over there!
Peter Kampschroeder (01:14:58): *Jen: "Then, tell her about-" Cethlenn tries to shift its position in the air slightly to avoid the worst-and its remaining nanobots form up into a spear. A spear she now thrusts at the dragon's face "-THIS!"+
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:02): However while it starts smoking and descending...
Wyverncakes (01:15:07): * Pulling herself back up onto the Mad Dragon, Hibiki stares at Quick Man for a moment before resolving to go in anyways! Pistons primed, she sends a swift right hook at the Robot Master!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:10): ???: "Boo! Ha ha!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:22): Buster shots from atop another satelite!
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:25): React, Rock!
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:50): You can see someone standing atop of it.
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:53): It's Flash Man!
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:58): With a very hastily patched up hole in his chest.
troublefirecat (01:16:20): Rock dodges again, surprised when he sees who it is. "Flash Man?!" +
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:46): Flash Man: "Our fight's not over yet!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:30): The Cethlenn stabs the dragon - damaging its head significantly, you swear you see the spear's tip coming at the other side.
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:42): However it still moves, slamming into your unit and damaging it severely.
drascin (01:17:45): *And with that, Ashe launches herself at the dragon! But she's too tiny, even if she's going super fast that wouldn't do much dmaage to something as tough and big as a mech dragon. A silly attack, really.
...or at least it seems so right until the speeding tiny shape becomes a gigantic, armor plated, sixty-ton Crocoroid grabbing his knees without losing a iota of speed!+
drascin (01:17:51): Ashe: CANNONBALL!
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:54): Cethlenn really needs help here...
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:01): One more hit and it will go down.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:18:15): Jen: "-Gah!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:25): Flash Man: "Enemies approach."
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:29): "So be it."
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:40): Seeing both Hibiki and Ashe, he does not act surprised at all.
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:42): Rather, his limbs become a flurry of motion - fast parries intended to block Hibiki's attack, followed by a counter slash right at her body, while his offhand sends several boomerangs - one of which was strong enough to cut Rock's arm off earlier, towards Ashe.
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:46): React, both of you.
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:00): (That was Quick Man, obviously)
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:27): Rock managed to avoid the barrage - which seemed to be shot to get his attention more than anything. But the satelite is getting higher!
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:34): Flash Man: "Follow me if you dare. Don't disappoint!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:20:38): Kei, Jen, Daniel, go.
tengusaur (01:21:03): (can I reach Flash Man with shots from down here?)
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:23): (Yes but it will be hard, because he's atop the highest satelite)
tormterra (01:21:37): * True to her word, Kei speeds up and into the sky, focusing on the satelite that Flash Man is standing on to give it the same targeted barrage that the one before had gotten to try to take it out underneath him. +
Wyverncakes (01:22:02): * His blade moved so fast! Faster than Tsubasa's! But Hibiki's leg pistons fire again to propel her out of the way, and another recoil shockwave from her fist helps her with that and also keeping Quick Man from following up on his attack!+
troublefirecat (01:23:22): Rock manages to catch up with the satellite that Flash Man is on and lands item-2 onto it. He's immediately ready for a fight, though he's not entirely sure how he's going to beat Flash Man's time stopper just yet. Still, he has to try!
tengusaur (01:23:50): Daniel: "Looks like the time's as good as any. Nicholas, fire." He aims right up and fires a shot into the air - but as it goes, the bullet suddenly unfolds into something with its own jet engine, which goes up to follow the satellites! It's a remotely-controlled rocket punch, which tries to break through as many satellites on the way as possible as it pursues the one Flash Man is riding! +
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:42): Daniel's bullet turns into a rocket punch! One that slams into a satelite, destroying it. Only one remain, the one Flash Man is on.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:24:43): *Jen: "-Gah, stinking-" Cethlenn drops closer to the ground, gathering up material. Its spear shifts, and combines with its rifle-forming a much larger sniper rifle-something that looks almost too big to fire. "-Fine, whatever, I'll do it my way." She fires, once, at the dragon-and when her shot lands, it doesn't piece-it explodes.+
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:52): Flash Man: "Ah, I knew you had what it takes! Just bare with me for a moment."
cubey@aol.pl (01:25:45): Rock may feel slightly confused for a second - time stopped flowing for a few moments!
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:20): However, both you and Flash Man were active during that time, and so was the satelite, going higher. When time flows again, both Kei and Daniel's attacks missed the last flying skull.
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:49): While Flash Man was busy during those seconds, sending a barrage of buster shots back towards Purple Two and the Steel Wanderer - shots that now fly in their direction. Both of you, react!
troublefirecat (01:27:01): Rock is startled for a moment at that. "Hey!"
drascin (01:27:47): *Yeah, so, the kind of momentum a sixty ton robot flying at about eighty meters per second has? It's rather a lot. Dodging is not really an option. Ashe's options are to either take the pain and hope Bifrost's plating holds, or turn into Aeolus and fly out of the trajectory, losing the attack completely and letting Quick Man simply continue on the offensive doing nothing.
After an instant, Ashe steels herself and chooses the first one. This is going to be unpleasant+
tormterra (01:28:13): * With the survival instict kicking in, Purple-2 reflexively started dodging in a wide arc around Flash Man, preventing him from landing a direct hit without predicting her movements first. This was joined by the shields that were already up and the barrage of fire not letting up, but moving upwards to where he was before his time stopping could activate again. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:28:52): Hibiki jumps away from the dragon and Quick Man - whose attack misses, because the Mecha Dragon is shaken by Jen's explosive sniper shot!
tengusaur (01:29:34): Daniel: "...Missed the final one. It's going out of range. Rock, it's up to you." Steel Wanderer hides deeper within Wily's base to avoid these shots. People inside could use help with Quick Man anyway.
cubey@aol.pl (01:29:37): Despite being cut into by the quick boomerangs, Bifrost the Crocoroid holds - and rips its way through the Mecha Dragon, crushing it as it passes, and then slamming it into the distant floor way down below, with lethal effect.
cubey@aol.pl (01:29:50): The dragon is over and done with!
cubey@aol.pl (01:29:53): But what of Quickman?
drascin (01:30:02): Ashe: ...okay, ow.
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:12): Quickman... took a giant supernatural leap, his speed changing as it suddenly accelerates and then goes back to normal.
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:16): He lands behind Rock.
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:21): On the last satelite.
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:26): His sword in hand.
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:35): He prepares to slash and...
cubey@aol.pl (01:30:43): Flash Man: "No way man! This one's all mine!"
tengusaur (01:30:57): Daniel: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:05): Another time stop... which causes Quick Man's body to be covered in crackles of electricity!
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:12): It actually caused him damage for some reason!
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:38): Flash Man: "You think I don't know about your flaw? Now step back and be a good boy."
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:44): Quick Man: "I will not forget this."
troublefirecat (01:31:49): Rock turns when he hears Quick Man land behind him, and is surprised when he sees what the time stopper did to him.
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:51): He actually does take a step back, weapon lowered.
cubey@aol.pl (01:31:59): Flash Man: "Now. It's just you and me..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:02): And the satelite!
cubey@aol.pl (01:32:04): Rock, go!
troublefirecat (01:35:14): Rock quickly turns back to Flash Man, narrowing his eyes. Then he dash forward to attack. This needs to be ended as fast as possibly, before the Satellite gets into position! He fires buster at Flash Man again. He noticed last time that Flash Man has to take a cool down period between time stops, but he's still already prepared just in case.
troublefirecat (01:35:15): +
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:48): Flash Man grins widely. There's that tongue again, sticking out.
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:58): But... you are not the only one who noticed there is a cooldown period.
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:13): Quick Man: "Do not interfere. You will ruin all the plans."
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:35): The satelite accelerates, moving much quicker! You know whose deal it is.
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:49): And as Flash Man tries to dodge the buster shot and shoot back at Rock...
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:06): From behind, Quick Man unleashes a wide quick boomerang - trying to cleave both through Rock, and Flash Man!
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:08): Rock, react!
troublefirecat (01:38:11): It's not like Rock had forgotten about Quick Man either. He ducks out of the way as fast as he can manage. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:55): No, you did not - but Flash Man apparently did. You get out of harm's way, but the other robot is now in two pieces!
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:07): Flash Man: "Quick Man, you pile of scrap! I won't forget this!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:29): Everyone else - you can see the satelite speed up. It's basically entering stratosphere now.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:32): There's no time to waste!
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:36): Anyone who wants to fire at it, go now.
troublefirecat (01:41:12): Now that Flash Man is down, Rock turns his attention to Quick Man again. This time he's a lot more confident, because he's got a plan.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:41:13): *Jen: "...Hit-!" Once more, she fires that sniper cannon, the recoil making Cethlenn's frame spark and creak.+
tormterra (01:42:01): * With no distractions left, Kei immediately unloaded what she had left at it, chasing after to avoid the gap growing too wide. It was now or simply praying for whatever units were nearby in space to stop it before it was too late and she didn't like having to rely on that. +
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:19): The sniper shot hits the satelite...
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:31): Following it is a large amount of beams and machinegun rounds shot by Kei.
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:43): The last satelite starts to smoke, small explosions engulfing it.
drascin (01:42:44): *And Ashe had been trying to fly up to help Rock, and see Flash Man fall down, and the satellite is getting out of atmorsphere... darn it. time for the last ditch attempt. Turning back into her own Mega Man A form, Ashe falls, aiming carefully. One, two... and shoot, a single laser. Come on, marksmanship skills, don't fail me now+
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:02): Ashe's shot... hits, penetrating it!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:05): Quick Man: "Hmm?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:10): He looks down at the destroyed satelite.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:15): Now's the time to act, Rock!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:20): Also on the ground level...
drascin (01:43:31): Ashe: Booyah!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:31): Chris: "Damn, last one. Stupid old man, I won't let you have your..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:39): She raises her gatlings to add to the gunfire!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:41): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:43): Noise.
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:01): From above, flying Noise in drill form shoot through her weapons, wrecking them both in succession!
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:12): And the third is heading for her body, instead!
Wyverncakes (01:44:15): Hibiki: "CHris-chan!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:15): Chris: "!!"
Wyverncakes (01:44:19): #?
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:23): Approved
Wyverncakes (01:45:19): * It's practically reflex for Hibiki. Someone's in trouble from the Noise, and she's just the person to do something about it as she moves in the way of this third Noise, swinging a fist to cross-counter it!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:49): The Nois wrecks itself against Bikkie's fist!
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:58): Chris: "The hell are you doing? I'm an enemy!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:40): She stares in shock and surprise... and her gaze moves to the side.
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:01): At a balcony in the fortress, casually leaning out and watching the sea is a woman.
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:12): http://s30.postimg.org/dvroh0oep/fine.png
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:17): Chris: "... Fine..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:56): She doesn't even look in your direction, but in her hand - the object that Chris used before, and that she doesn't have now if you noticed.
drascin (01:48:57): Ashe: Saving people's kind of what we do, whenever we can. Enemies or not.
troublefirecat (01:48:57): Well, no more time. Rock switches on the Time Stopper he aquired from Flash Man and moves into action. Attacking Quick Man a few well placed buster shots while he can't move. -
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:11): The relic that allows one to control and summon Noise, the Solomon's Cane.
cubey@aol.pl (01:51:13): Fine: "...Another failure, is it. When will you start living up to my expectations, I wonder?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:51:19): She doesn't even turn her gaze, on the other hand.
cubey@aol.pl (01:51:59): Chris: "No! We do not need her... I can do it myself! Break the curse, create a world where people like us have a place...!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:03): Fine: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:08): Fine: "I'm done with you."
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:15): Fine: "I no longer have any need for you."
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:27): She opens her palm.
tormterra (01:52:30): Kei was coming down from space to watch the scene from a distance, trying to piece together what it all meant from down there
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:48): In it, glowing shards appear - pieces of the destroyed Nehushtan.
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:03): Above your heads - an explosion.
drascin (01:53:21): Ashe is closer, but she's even more lost than Kei, and makes absolutely no attempt to hide this
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:31): Rock used the time stopper - which caused further damage to Quick Man! And once the time stop ended, the buster shots slammed into him!
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:53): Quick Man: "Ghh... me, defeated by Mega Man? Impossible..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:05): The satelite under your feet is exploding. Better get out of here!
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:23): Quick Man however is pushed back by the shots, clinging to the satelite. He's not going anywhere.
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:36): Chris: "No..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:48): She pays no attention to the explosion, looking shocked.
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:16): Shocked, as the mysterious woman - Nehushtan in one hand, Solomon's Cane in the other, almost casually takes a huge leap - towards the sea.
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:21): Chris: "FINEEE!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:34): Chris: "Don't..."
tengusaur (01:55:58): Daniel: "...Dr Wily. Is he still here?"
drascin (01:56:12): Ashe: ...oh shoot! Wily!
drascin (01:56:21): with all this mystery drama she'd totally forgot
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:53): Ice Man: "Don't worry! I told him 'freeze'."
troublefirecat (01:56:58): No time to keep fighting. Rock decides it's time to leave. He quickly runs to the edge of the satellite to jump off. Though he might not be able to get clear in time to avoid the explosion. Unles... right! Another time stopper! Hopefully he'll be able to manage another in time.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:03): Dr Wily: "Tch..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:20): The evil scientist is held at gunpoint by the cold-elemented Light Number.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:45): From above, something descends.
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:53): It's... Rock, on the Item-2 hoverboard!
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:30): Beaten up, seriously strained and having overused the time stopper power.
troublefirecat (01:58:33): Rock: Hey, you guys!
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:34): But alive!
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:52): There is only one matter remaining.
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:11): The Relic user, Chris Yukine - who looks positively wrecked by what just transpired, for some reason, but she makes up her mind.
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:29): And jumps out of the balcony, following the mysterious woman and out of sight!
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:34): MISSION COMPLETE
drascin (01:59:47): Ashe: Hey Rock! Did you get the robot bean?
tormterra (02:00:03): Kei: "...Shouldn't we try to follow her?"
troublefirecat (02:00:05): Rock gave Ashe a thumbs up. "Yep!"
drascin (02:00:32): Ashe: I'd settle for anyone explaining to me what the heck just happened, Kei, honestly
troublefirecat (02:00:35): As beaten up as he is right now, he's fairly happy with how well he did.
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:43): Mr Ogawa: "That won't be necessary."
tormterra (02:00:48): Kei: "Not sure anybody else can."
drascin (02:00:50): Ashe: I have no idea who was the bad guy I should clobber, there
Peter Kampschroeder (02:00:51): Jen: "Probably...Gonna be a bit before I can get this moving, though."
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:15): The suited man stands on the island mere steps from the water, how he got here is a mystery. But he's here.
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:31): Ogawa: "We know where she is going. Please do not be concerned of it."
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:54): Ogawa: "Additionally, I bring good news."
drascin (02:02:05): Ashe: Oooookay...
cubey@aol.pl (02:02:20): "Due to what transpired here and under the decomissioning facility, high chances are - the Light Numbers will be pardoned."
troublefirecat (02:02:49): Rock perks up at this. "Really?!"
drascin (02:03:07): Ashe: Awesome *grin*
tormterra (02:03:20): Kei: "Pretty sure it was the woman she was talking to..." Any further thoughts about Chris were dispelled by learning the fate of their original objective. Her expression softened in relief, even without commenting further
cubey@aol.pl (02:03:26): Ogawa: "It looks like people involved realized who the real perpetrator was. Having a death threat thrown at you helps with that."
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:11): Ogawa: "As for the originator of the death threat in question, Dr Wily... well. You helped bring him to justice. Good job, everyone."
