Mission 130 - A Place of Forgetting, a Time of Remembering

[srwu_mods]

wyverncakes 10:03 am
(10:03:12 AM): A short time ago, a nuclear device was detonated.
(10:04:06 AM): The location: far north in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Preserve, far and away from even any pockets of civilization.
wyverncakes 10:06 am
(10:06:06 AM): Regional forces were sent in to investigate what had actually happened there and if there was any sign of who was responsible... but it's then that the Unity Group gets it message sent from someone involved with cleaning up Edward's mess.
(10:06:16 AM): The message?
(10:06:39 AM): "Freddy Angel has made his move."
cubey@aol.pl 10:07 am
(10:07:04 AM): Izuru: "That name!"
wyverncakes 10:07 am
(10:07:15 AM): "Edward was fortunate enough to explain a few details we were in the dark about, insisting that he at least have one last chance to speak with Eva."
(10:07:36 AM): "We naturally declined to give him that chance... but the man's too broken to hold the information anyways."
wyverncakes 10:08 am
(10:08:44 AM): "The location that Freddy used the Casaba Howitzer for had been used as a waste facility of sorts for Pedantic Blue. Underneath the preserve is an underground facility, practically impregnable if not for the bomb he just detonated."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:08 am
(10:08:44 AM): Eva takes a deep breath with her eyes closed. "...So. Do we have a plan?"
wyverncakes 10:09 am
(10:09:16 AM): "Inside there are things... that frankly shouldn't have been left in this world."
tengusaur 10:09 am
(10:09:32 AM): Asagi: "He expects us to go. I'm not sure of. But do we really have a choice?"
wyverncakes 10:09 am
(10:09:51 AM): "Unfortunately you don't."
cubey@aol.pl 10:10 am
(10:10:02 AM): Izuru: "Waste facility?"
(10:10:13 AM): "But project Pedantic Blue dealt with..."
(10:10:18 AM): He doesn't like the sound of this.
wyverncakes 10:11 am
(10:11:16 AM): "People and weapons... and there is something there that by the sounds of the half-scrubbed files we've looked through... will do a lot of damage if it escapes. Time's of the essence!"
VJockey 10:11 am
(10:11:41 AM): "......"
(10:12:07 AM): [Calvin's going to glance at Eva. Some things are best unsaid but the implications of what might be there...]
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:13 am
(10:13:12 AM): Eva: "...That's where Samantha is, isn't it."
wyverncakes 10:13 am
(10:13:16 AM): Thus the scrambling commences, the shuttling being prepped. It won't take long but-
tengusaur 10:13 am
(10:13:21 AM): Asagi: "...Probably."
wyverncakes 10:13 am
(10:13:24 AM): "... Unfortunately yes."
(10:13:42 AM): "With a machine that could travel from there to Fairbanks in ten minutes if it reaches the surface."
(10:13:57 AM): "... Torching its entire path in radioactive flame in the process."
frifreeman 10:14 am
(10:14:16 AM): Walt: "But look at the silver lining."
cubey@aol.pl 10:14 am
(10:14:45 AM): Izuru: "Let's go, there's no time to waste!"
VJockey 10:14 am
(10:14:48 AM): "... Walt... I'm scared to even know what's the silver lining you're about to say..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:14 am
(10:14:55 AM): Izuru: "Eva's mom... I made a promise to stop you. A hero's promise!"
tengusaur 10:15 am
(10:15:30 AM): Asagi: "You met her? I thought she's dead."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:15 am
(10:15:38 AM): Eva: "...So we need to get there even faster...Okay, I think I have an idea."
VJockey 10:15 am
(10:15:38 AM): [Calvin's loaded up on the shuttle as well.]
frifreeman 10:15 am
(10:15:43 AM): Walt: "At least it's just a mundane hard tech weapon that we can touch. No invincible multidimensional alien that exist in three realities at once, no untouchahble giant ghost shadow monster. Just good old nice nuclear cannon."
VJockey 10:15 am
(10:15:44 AM): "Its a long story."
cubey@aol.pl 10:15 am
(10:15:48 AM): Izuru: "Ah, eh, it's complicated."
tengusaur 10:16 am
(10:16:02 AM): Asagi: "...I'm not going to ask."
VJockey 10:16 am
(10:16:11 AM): "...I'm going to make a guess she talked to a lot of people."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:16 am
(10:16:58 AM): Eva boards the Tern and gets aboard the shuttle as well. "It sounds like it. Everyone...I think I can try to teleport the shuttle there, once we're in the air."
(10:17:23 AM): "...Do you want me to try? Freddy does this all the time, but I have never done this before."
frifreeman 10:17 am
(10:17:58 AM): Walt:"Depends."
VJockey 10:18 am
(10:18:04 AM): "... Walt, please for the love of everything don't say what could go wrong."
frifreeman 10:18 am
(10:18:14 AM): Walt: "Nah"
tengusaur 10:18 am
(10:18:34 AM): Asagi: "...What are the odds it's going to go terribly wrong?"
frifreeman 10:18 am
(10:18:49 AM): Walt:"I'm just asking, is by teleporting you mean destroying all of our atoms here and reconstructing it in our destination? Or a dimensional shortcut? That matters you know."
cubey@aol.pl 10:19 am
(10:19:19 AM): Izuru: "I saw a movie once..."
wyverncakes 10:19 am
(10:19:28 AM): Commander Howe interjects. "If there really is something there that is that much of a threat if it just gets out of the facility, then time's of the essence."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:19 am
(10:19:33 AM): Eva: "I do not know the odds. Nor how it functions."
cubey@aol.pl 10:19 am
(10:19:36 AM): Izuru: "No! There's no time!"
(10:19:43 AM): Izuru: "We have only ten minutes, right?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:20 am
(10:20:01 AM): Izuru: "Even Unity Group shuttles are not fast enough to get us there so quickly. But maybe..."
tengusaur 10:20 am
(10:20:03 AM): Asagi: "There's TSEN, you know. And folding."
cubey@aol.pl 10:20 am
(10:20:04 AM): Izuru: "Maybe Eva can!"
wyverncakes 10:20 am
(10:20:09 AM): "If you think you can, everyone who wishes to try with her are welcome to. Everyone else can take another shuttle!"
tengusaur 10:20 am
(10:20:21 AM): Asagi sighs. "...Okay. Let's give it a try. Don't kill us, Eva."
frifreeman 10:20 am
(10:20:23 AM): Walt: "Eh, what the heck. You know what they used to say? YOLO?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:20 am
(10:20:31 AM): Izuru: "Eh?"
VJockey 10:21 am
(10:21:46 AM): "Walt. I hate you right now. I hate you with great intensity-"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:21 am
(10:21:54 AM): Eva nods, and the Tern crouches on the shuttle, spreading its hands in front of it. Green energy flows from its hands, spreading across the shuttle. "Wouldn't dream of it." She focuses on the distant tug, the pull of Samantha's presence, closes her eyes, and-
wyverncakes 10:22 am
(10:22:01 AM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
(10:22:47 AM): The shuttle winks out of existence as it takes off, and when it returns...
(10:22:59 AM): ... Suddenly an alarm's going off!
(10:23:04 AM): Pilot: "What the... we lost a wing?!?"
(10:23:21 AM): And it's hurtling down at the ground!
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 am
(10:23:29 AM): Izuru: "A wing? Only that, right?"
frifreeman 10:23 am
(10:23:37 AM): Walt:"Gah! I seems to be frontside-back! There's an error in the transmission!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:23 am
(10:23:37 AM): Eva: "Who put a mountain there?!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 am
(10:23:37 AM): He pats himself to make sure all bodyparts are still in their place.
wyverncakes 10:23 am
(10:23:38 AM): (And yes, seems only that)
(10:23:44 AM): Pilot: "HANG ON...!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 am
(10:23:52 AM): But, no time for that! The shuttle's falling!
frifreeman 10:23 am
(10:23:53 AM): Walt: "Oh wait, I just war my underwar wrongly"
(10:23:56 AM): *underwear
cubey@aol.pl 10:23 am
(10:23:59 AM): Izuru: "Woaaah!"
tengusaur 10:24 am
(10:24:08 AM): Asagi: "...Don't start a false alarm at a time like this!"
wyverncakes 10:24 am
(10:24:25 AM): Pulling on the controls as hard as he can, the pilot pulls the shuttle out of a head-on collision with the ground and manages a more dignified but still bumpy crash landing!
frifreeman 10:24 am
(10:24:27 AM): Walt: "Hey, you'll worry too if you see your cloth tag under your neck"
wyverncakes 10:25 am
(10:25:10 AM): In the moments following after that, you're able to hear gunfire though coming from outside, and a few transmissions from ESUN pilots confused as to why a shuttle just suddenly showed up.
tengusaur 10:25 am
(10:25:18 AM): The landing rattles Asagi inside his cockpit. Blue One mostly keeps its balance though.
cubey@aol.pl 10:25 am
(10:25:29 AM): Izuru: "Don't worry guys, help is here! Just hang in there!"
tengusaur 10:25 am
(10:25:51 AM): Asagi: "This is the wrong week to stop taking stomach medicine... Huh? There's a fight!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:25 am
(10:25:54 AM): Red Five slowly leaves through the shuttle hatch, its pilot dazed after the landing.
wyverncakes 10:26 am
(10:26:33 AM): And Izuru, you step out into... well, now you can have a better understanding of the lines that Pedantic Blue crossed.
(10:27:10 AM): The scouting mechs, TSFs, some older mobile suits and some lent VFs are fighting...
(10:27:15 AM): http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/8/80/Avenger0.png/revision/latest?cb=20141214112002
VJockey 10:27 am
(10:27:18 AM): "This... is... the worst... possible thing..."
wyverncakes 10:27 am
(10:27:20 AM): http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/b/b0/Shadow_giants.png/revision/latest?cb=20140620140743
(10:27:22 AM): Monsters.
cubey@aol.pl 10:27 am
(10:27:40 AM): Red Five looks up.
(10:27:47 AM): Izuru: "... Not what I expected..."
tengusaur 10:27 am
(10:27:50 AM): Blue One leaves the shuttle as well. Then it grips its katana.
wyverncakes 10:27 am
(10:27:57 AM): (Enemies: Wolf Monsters x 4, Multieye Monsters x 5)
tengusaur 10:28 am
(10:28:10 AM): Asagi: "This is like those things Ebon Court summoned..."
VJockey 10:28 am
(10:28:15 AM): [And then Calvin's TSF exits and sees what's roaming the battlefield.]
frifreeman 10:28 am
(10:28:19 AM): Walt: "...what are those."
VJockey 10:28 am
(10:28:30 AM): "...More or less..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:28 am
(10:28:42 AM): Eva exits the shuttle. "...Oh."
wyverncakes 10:28 am
(10:28:44 AM): Some are lying on the ground, killed at great cost by the number of trashed mechs on this scorched battlefield too.
frifreeman 10:28 am
(10:28:48 AM): Walt: "Where's the giant nuclear canon"
(10:28:55 AM): Walt: "I want the giant nuclear cannon"
cubey@aol.pl 10:29 am
(10:29:02 AM): Izuru: "I guess it had only one shot? But we have those things now."
(10:29:07 AM): He takes a deep breath.
VJockey 10:29 am
(10:29:11 AM): "I think we all want the giant nuclear cannon to deal with this."
cubey@aol.pl 10:29 am
(10:29:20 AM): Izuru: "Everyone! Try to retreat or something. We'll take on from here!"
frifreeman 10:29 am
(10:29:21 AM): Walt: "I've been duped. It's false advertising. I was here to fight giant nuclear cannon."
wyverncakes 10:29 am
(10:29:27 AM): And beyond them, at the epicenter of it all... a mech-sized tunnel blown open, courtesy of the Howitzer.
tengusaur 10:29 am
(10:29:30 AM): Asagi: "The giant nuclear cannon is what freed those."
wyverncakes 10:29 am
(10:29:36 AM): (Izuru, Asagi, Walt, Calvin, Eva)
(10:29:40 AM): (Izuru and Asagi can go)
cubey@aol.pl 10:29 am
(10:29:43 AM): Izuru: "Because..."
(10:29:52 AM): Izuru: "Unity Group is heroes! This is what we do!"
(10:30:06 AM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5chhe6ftUs0
frifreeman 10:30 am
(10:30:52 AM): Walt: "I'm not hero. I just want to go home."
(10:30:53 AM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtIfXRLuEKM
cubey@aol.pl 10:31 am
(10:31:22 AM): *Red Five's wings and tail binders spread wide and all thrusters push it into the skies! Izuru flies straight in the multiple-eyed face of one of the giants, shooting beam pistols in a wild barrage to ensure he has its attention, then starts to circle around it while still firing.+
frifreeman 10:31 am
(10:31:28 AM): Walt: "But not without the hero of course."
tengusaur 10:31 am
(10:31:31 AM): Asagi: "At least wait with talking about heroics until we beat those!" Blue One rushes forward, firing a short burst at one of the multi-eye monsters as it draws close, and then cuts at it with a horizontal slash with the katana! +
wyverncakes 10:34 am
(10:34:20 AM): [Majestic Brothers] The monsters seem to turn in response to new sources of hostility, but the ones that you focused on don't get to accomplish much else, being shot up and cut down respectively. In their wake though, the wolf-like monsters lunge at you viciously with additional claws reaching out from their bodies at you!
(10:34:25 AM): (React: Asagi and Izuru)
(10:34:34 AM): (Walt, Calvin, and Eva can go)
tengusaur 10:35 am
(10:35:33 AM): * Asagi raises his katana, in order to parry the incoming claws, and then kick at the wolf-like monster as a counter, intend on sending it backwards! His energy shield provides additional protection. +
cubey@aol.pl 10:35 am
(10:35:39 AM): Izuru: "Got one!"
tengusaur 10:35 am
(10:35:41 AM): Asagi: "Eva, do these monsters look familiar to you? At all?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:36 am
(10:36:51 AM): Eva: "...In a dream once..." She strafes the battlefield, bombarding the wolf monsters with spread lasers. "...Not from this world."
cubey@aol.pl 10:36 am
(10:36:54 AM): *But here's another one! Izuru extends an arm-shield barrier, Red Five's hand reaching towards the wolf for only a few moments... the barrier has to hold just long enough for him to kick the enemy and jump up from its body, higher into the skies!+
VJockey 10:36 am
(10:36:54 AM): *Calvin's going to let loose a barrage of 36mm rounds at the wolf-monster's limbs as they rush Izuru and Asagi!+
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:37 am
(10:37:00 AM): (Whoops, forgot my * and +)
wyverncakes 10:37 am
(10:37:28 AM): [Asagi] The force of the claws leaves you a bit staggered, but you do manage to knock it away in time! It roars and tries to move in for another round of attacking, but a flurry of missiles from a nearby VF blows it away before that comes to pass.
tormterra has left the room. 10:37 am
frifreeman 10:38 am
(10:38:16 AM): Walt: "I once had a dream about... nevermind I won't tell you guys about it." Walt's team stay behind beside the shuttle, kneels, and starts firing potshots at enemies that the Majestic Brothers are attacking.+
wyverncakes 10:38 am
(10:38:18 AM): [Izuru] The claws meet the barrier, but struggle useless against it... not for the monster's lack of trying. Your kick knocks the two of you away, damaging it a bit in the process!
wyverncakes 10:39 am
(10:39:22 AM): [Eva] Your attack catches one of the multi-eyed monsters and also finishes off the wolf that Izuru'd previous damaged, but the remaining two Multi-eyes shift towards you, their many eyes shimmering before a flurry of lasers are fired right at you!
(10:39:26 AM): (React: Eva)
cubey@aol.pl 10:40 am
(10:40:18 AM): Izuru: "Good save!"
tengusaur 10:40 am
(10:40:33 AM): Asagi: "Did literally everyone have dreams about this except me?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:41 am
(10:41:12 AM): *Eva jukes backwards and up, spreading a barrier to block any shots that strike home.+
wyverncakes 10:41 am
(10:41:35 AM): [Calvin and Walt] Your flurry of shots join in the doge extermination, finishing off the remaining two... thus leaving only the Multi-Eyed ones.
VJockey 10:41 am
(10:41:38 AM): "Honestly I'd say that's a good thing!"
wyverncakes 10:42 am
(10:42:17 AM): [Eva] The spread of lasers graze you at a few points, but at worst it's a little light scarring and damage to the Tern's paintjob. Nothing too serious.
cubey@aol.pl 10:42 am
(10:42:45 AM): Izuru: "I guess... but they were kinda creepy, so they'd only give you more ulcers Asagi."
(10:42:47 AM): "Don't worry about it!"
tengusaur 10:42 am
(10:42:59 AM): Asagi: "How reassuring..."
VJockey 10:43 am
(10:43:09 AM): "We better poke those eyes out as fast as we can..."
wyverncakes 10:44 am
(10:44:33 AM): Something that is serious, however, is portrals seem to open up all over the ground... with more monsters clawing their way up onto the surface...
(10:45:08 AM): Around them, the portals seem to be a window of somewhere else, likely the underground facility... with even more monsters waiting their turn.
(10:45:22 AM): Some don't even make it all the way up though.
cubey@aol.pl 10:45 am
(10:45:35 AM): Izuru: "Even more are crawling out! How many are there?"
wyverncakes 10:45 am
(10:45:36 AM): Shaldoll pilot; "Quick! There's no time!"
(10:46:18 AM): Beam sprayguns, gunpods, and other middling guns thin out the crowd as much as possible as they try to rise up.
VJockey 10:46 am
(10:46:31 AM): "... Please don't tell me we're going to take a shortcut inside..."
VJockey 10:46 am
(10:46:35 AM): "Please don't."
tengusaur 10:46 am
(10:46:48 AM): Asagi: "...I have some bad news."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:47 am
(10:47:18 AM): Eva: "I don't know that there would be an end to them..."
wyverncakes 10:47 am
(10:47:38 AM): Well, there's always the actual entrance into the underground tunnels. It's big enough for mecha.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:47 am
(10:47:53 AM): Eva heads for that.
frifreeman 10:48 am
(10:48:42 AM): Walt: "Eh,as multiple eye monster goes, I've seen better."
cubey@aol.pl 10:49 am
(10:49:36 AM): Izuru: "Eva, where are you going? Wait!"
(10:49:44 AM): Red Five gives chase after the Tern.
tengusaur 10:50 am
(10:50:01 AM): Asagi: "Let's not split up. She probably knows the way best anyway." Blue One follows Eva's Tern, firing several missiles on the swarm of enemies on the way from its handheld launcher.
wyverncakes 10:50 am
(10:50:38 AM): The pilots you came to save stay behind. Someone's got to mind the fence while you take the fight to the inside.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:50 am
(10:50:59 AM): Eva: "I don't trust those portals. That's all."
VJockey 10:51 am
(10:51:47 AM): "Oh thank god..."
(10:51:56 AM): [Calvin's chasing after the rest.]
wyverncakes 10:52 am
(10:52:43 AM): You proceed through the tunnels, following Eva. Early on in the path there are a few brief messages or tallies. Maybe of days spent or possibly something else. But the further in the less literate the messages...
wyverncakes 10:53 am
(10:53:33 AM): Before long there's clawings, impacted walls, and even a few tunnels caved in with more monsters buried underneath.
cubey@aol.pl 10:54 am
(10:54:46 AM): Izuru: "You know..."
wyverncakes 10:54 am
(10:54:47 AM): You go down. Even whenever there's a turn in the path, you're always heading deeper and deeper into the facility... and just as you near a hallway with a slew of massive doors on either side-
(10:54:49 AM): Eva!
tengusaur 10:54 am
(10:54:59 AM): Asagi: "Just what exactly happened here..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:55 am
(10:55:03 AM): Izuru: "I have a bad feeling about these monsters."
VJockey 10:55 am
(10:55:04 AM): "... When I tried to dig up info on Pedantic Blue... I didn't think it'd be anything like this..."
wyverncakes 10:55 am
(10:55:09 AM): Creatures jump out at you from the shadows, arms elongating out right at you!
(10:55:12 AM): (React: Eva)
cubey@aol.pl 10:55 am
(10:55:16 AM): Izuru: "Ah!"

(10:55:47 AM): (Both are approved)
VJockey 10:56 am
(10:56:04 AM): "GAH!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:56 am
(10:56:16 AM): *Red Five charges forward, trying to slam the elongated arm with its energy barrier. Just like Tamaki does it!+
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:56 am
(10:56:24 AM): *Eva freezes!+
VJockey 10:56 am
(10:56:30 AM): *Calvin's opening fire with the Assault Gun's cannon attatchment!+
(10:57:02 AM): [With Izuru dealing with the arms, Calvin could try prevent further attacks.]
wyverncakes 10:57 am
(10:57:51 AM): [Eva and friends] Red Five's barriers get pelted by the arms, but you still repel them to give Calvin the opportunity to finish off these new monsters!
cubey@aol.pl 10:58 am
(10:58:02 AM): Izuru: "Eva! What's wrong?"
wyverncakes 10:58 am
(10:58:53 AM): But there's still more where they came from, creeping out from intentations in the wall, rising up from shadowy spots in the dimly-lit tunnel...
frifreeman 10:58 am
(10:58:53 AM): Walt: "What did you expect then, investigator?"
wyverncakes 10:59 am
(10:59:17 AM): And with them, a scant few of a fourth kind of monster too.
(10:59:21 AM): (Cloak monster: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/5/59/Black_Shadow.png/revision/latest?cb=20141028225226)

(10:59:26 AM): Eva: "...I'm certain now. These creatures...she's bringing them over."
VJockey 10:59 am
(10:59:48 AM): "I just figured it'd be some kind of crazy supersoldier project! Not this!"
wyverncakes 10:59 am
(10:59:52 AM): (Enemies: Irregular Monsters x 5, Cloak Monsters x 2)

(11:00:09 AM): (Izuru and Asagi can go)
tengusaur 11:00 am
(11:00:25 AM): Asagi: "Literal nightmare monsters."
wyverncakes 11:00 am
(11:00:49 AM): Eva, talk of your mother and seing these creatures come through makes a sudden feeling of... presence loom in your mind.
(11:00:59 AM): Second set of big doors on your left.
(11:01:07 AM): Beyond that...
(11:01:12 AM): You'll find your mother.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:01 am
(11:01:49 AM): Eva: "...Clear a path to...those doors." She points them out. "It's the way."
tengusaur 11:02 am
(11:02:18 AM): Asagi: "I can't say I like this. But as long as they can be killed..." Blue One leaps towards one of the irregular monsters, the leap ending with a downwards katana slash, which is then quickly followed by another, raising cleave! +
cubey@aol.pl 11:03 am
(11:03:16 AM): Izuru: "So they're from a nightmare? Actually..."
(11:03:30 AM): Izuru: "That's not as bad as what I was afraid of!"
VJockey 11:03 am
(11:03:50 AM): "...."
VJockey 11:04 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:04 am
(11:04:34 AM): *The chainsword is revved up. It's held by Red Five's left side as it charges at the irregular monsters, the right hand still shielding. Izuru advances, the shield bouncing against the enemies, then lowers the barrier - and slashes!+
wyverncakes 11:05 am
(11:05:00 AM): [Asagi] Your blade comes slashing down at the Irregular, but the creature's very body seems to bend and lurch out of the way. The sword cuts part of it, its arm dangling uselessly- no, not uselessly! The limb curls up anyways, shooting at you like they tried with Eva!
(11:05:02 AM): (React: Asagi)
tengusaur 11:06 am
(11:06:33 AM): Asagi: "...This is why I said I don't like this!" Blue One draws its spear, spinning the polearm around in an attempt to push the incoming arm away, and then thrust hard in order to pin the monster into a wall. +
wyverncakes 11:07 am
(11:07:05 AM): [Izuru] Your own barriers bounce and knock away the Irregulars, giving you the opportunity to start cutting into them, but one of the Cloak monsters comes moving in... suddenly spinning into a whirrling, blurring top of death! Your chainsword gets deflected away while striking into one, and it presses the attack!
(11:07:08 AM): (React; Izuru)
(11:07:21 AM): (Walt, Calvin, and Eva)
tengusaur 11:07 am
(11:07:42 AM): Asagi: "...But if you say what I think you mean, Izuru, then I agree."
frifreeman 11:07 am

VJockey 11:08 am

wyverncakes 11:08 am

(11:09:08 AM): (Corection: Irregulars x 3, CLoak x 2 because...)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:09 am
(11:09:13 AM): *Eva generates a barrier field with one hand to use as a shield, then rushes one of the cloak monsters-slamming into it with her shield, then stabbing at it again and again.+
(11:09:27 AM): Eva: "I don't know."
VJockey 11:09 am
(11:09:45 AM): *Calvin's letting loose several cannon rounds at the Irregulars... If they needed to work fast then its best to be heavy handed.+
wyverncakes 11:09 am
(11:09:59 AM): [Asagi] The Arm's knocked away, though it's no small task. It's hanging on by a thread connected to the rest of the creature, but it still feels like it's still all there. But when you run the creature through and pin it to the wall, it dies all the same.
wyverncakes 11:11 am
(11:11:42 AM): [Calvin] Your fire hammers into the Irregulars, putting away most of their forces. But a single lone Monster flattens itself against the ground in time to avoid your shots and then zooms towards you still with all the height and shape of a puddle... before looming up again up-close and personal, clawing at you!
(11:11:45 AM): (React: Calvin)
frifreeman 11:13 am
(11:13:16 AM): # (Combined with my action)
wyverncakes 11:13 am
(11:13:22 AM): [Eva] You crash into the Monster, stabbing into it again and again. But in spite of its smaller size it's plenty tough, its own cloth-like extensions slicing at the Tern to try to cut you down!
(11:13:37 AM): (Approved, but who are you supporting? Izuru or Calvin?)
frifreeman 11:13 am
(11:13:59 AM): (Calvin, Izuru got a super robot already)
wyverncakes 11:14 am
(11:14:08 AM): (Fair enough. Go ahead)
(11:14:16 AM): (Also, react Eva)
frifreeman 11:15 am
(11:15:05 AM): Walt: "Combination Monkey-Wolf Alpha 3, Go!" Walt designates the monster attack Calvin as target as he moves forward.
VJockey 11:15 am
(11:15:49 AM): *Too quick for Calvin to try draw his knife with how close the monster is, he takes a very risky jump backwards as he opens up with a barrage of smaller rounds at the beast!+
cubey@aol.pl 11:16 am
(11:16:24 AM): *Izuru could press on as well but it's too risky. He tries to break off instead, going backwards while firing a few farewell shots from the chain-combined weapon. Once he gets to right it.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:16 am
(11:16:40 AM): *Eva:"-tch." She doesn't have a good defence here. So instead, she switches from a stab to slicing up the monster, using the telekinesis power to put more oomph into a horizontal slash across the monster. Those cuts, she'll have to endure.+
wyverncakes 11:17 am
(11:17:39 AM): [Walt and Calvin] Calvin's shots stagger the monster, but not in time to keep it from knocking his gun away. Fortunately, Walt's own support fire finishes the job.
wyverncakes 11:18 am
(11:18:48 AM): [Eva] The Tern sustains more damage, blades biting into its limbs and body. But on the other hand, your own slash cuts entirely through the beast.
frifreeman 11:18 am
(11:18:57 AM): With a well coordinated movement, Two of walt's team boosts forward of everyone and kneels, shooting right and left of calvin while the other two of the member of 8th Genoace team spreads as wings and shoot at the monster's sides. Meanwhile, Walt uses the two kneeling genoace as steps to jump higher, above Calvin, and shoot at the monster from above.+
wyverncakes 11:19 am
(11:19:36 AM): (Derp on my end. NOW the monster attacking Calvin's dead)
(11:19:38 AM): (Sorry)
VJockey 11:19 am
(11:19:54 AM): "Thanks..."
wyverncakes 11:19 am
(11:19:59 AM): [Izuru] The remaining Cloak monster whiffs you as you fall back, taking those hits and being knocked backwards.
VJockey 11:20 am
(11:20:30 AM): [Calvin tries not to sound too shaky. Yeah it got a little too close when he got disarmed...]
wyverncakes 11:20 am
(11:20:40 AM): Being left on its own though, the wounded creature just melts away into the floor though, then disappates off in a number of directions.
(11:20:46 AM): The path to the hangar's clear.
cubey@aol.pl 11:20 am

(11:21:15 AM): Eva: "I'll live..."
tengusaur 11:22 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:22 am

VJockey 11:22 am
(11:22:51 AM): "I'll be fine.."
(11:22:59 AM): [The TSF picks up its gun.]
VJockey 11:23 am

wyverncakes 11:24 am

wyverncakes 11:25 am

wyverncakes 11:31 am
(11:31:55 AM): Samantha: "Whether or not they are... well..."
(11:32:10 AM): "It's kinda important but not entirely."
VJockey 11:32 am
(11:32:36 AM): "Eva... you want to have a chat with mother dearest?"
wyverncakes 11:32 am

arachnion01@gmail.com 11:35 am
(11:35:30 AM): Eva: "...?"
wyverncakes 11:35 am
(11:35:49 AM): There's a weary laugh from the cockpit.
(11:36:00 AM): It's not the same as the one from before, a bit hoarser and strained.
(11:36:03 AM): But...
(11:36:16 AM): "... Izuru, you're still great."
tengusaur 11:36 am
(11:36:49 AM): Asagi: "Horrible things happened to you. I know they did. But does that give you the right to take out your anger on the world? What did most of the world do to you?"
cubey@aol.pl 11:37 am

tengusaur 11:39 am
(11:39:25 AM): Asagi: "...You still want to fight despite all of this." He draws Blue One's particle cannon and starts charging it up, while analyzing the enemy formation at the same time. After a short moment, he fires a blast, and then another one, trying to catch as many of the nightmare monsters in it as he can. +

wyverncakes 11:42 am
(11:42:53 AM): [Asagi, Cavlin, and Izuru] The spread of shots catches several of the Multi-eye and Irregular monsters, obliterating them. But others scatter... and others still burst in a cloud of blask wisps. Dead? No, because from above the Wolf Monsters rematerialize, surging down and clawing at you!
(11:42:57 AM): ^Calvin

VJockey 11:44 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:47 am
(11:47:35 AM): Izuru: "They regenerate?!"
wyverncakes 11:48 am
(11:48:31 AM): [Calvin] Spare ammo always has its uses. The cannon magazine goes flying, some of the monsters just slipping around it and still charging at you, Your spread of shots damages them a bit though, but that's nothing compared to the big explosion that follows, scattering and blasting many of them away... but also causing one Cloak Monster to come hurtling at you, spinning like a buzz-saw!
(11:48:33 AM): (React: Calvin)
frifreeman 11:48 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:48 am
(11:48:43 AM): *Red Five ducks under Blue One's spear and its superior reach. Izuru decides to counter - by firing another shot, one with less firepower due to shorter charging, but all it has to do is to hit the foe - NOW!+
VJockey 11:49 am
(11:49:25 AM): *Yeah no, Calvin's going to be jump jetting away from that and opening fire at its upper body!+
wyverncakes 11:51 am
(11:51:00 AM): [Asagi and Izuru] A wolf gets skewered, which helps knock away another one. The one impaled still tries fighting back, but Izuru manages to gun down the wounded animal!
(11:52:15 AM): [Calvin and Walt] The Cloaked Monster meets another hail of bullets and beam shots, crashing to the ground just short of Calvin's position
wyverncakes 11:53 am
(11:53:20 AM): [Eva] "What right did anyone have in making us like this?!" Your lasers fire into the crowd, destroying another Wolf monster... but unfortunately Freddy's not having any more of this! The Red Tern teleports behind you, spinning around to cut you down with its arm blade!
(11:53:22 AM): (React: Eva)

(11:56:26 AM): Izuru: "Don't you have someone important to take care of, Eva? We'll handle everyone else so don't worry about it!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:56 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:57 am
(11:57:02 AM): *And... while the blade is locked, he fires a beam pistol from underfoot, hoping to damage or at least distract Freddy enough to give him an advantage to press with the sword strike!+

(11:58:25 AM): Asagi: "Don't forget you're not alone here!" Blue One jumps high up, landing on the Red Tern's back and stabbing in it powerfully with its spear while Freddy is distracted fighting with Izuru and Eva! +
wyverncakes 11:58 am
(11:58:48 AM): [Eva and Izuru] Blades crash together, but as the two of you open fire only a few shots get through before Freddy raises his barrier for defense...
(12:00:15 PM): [Asagi] ... And then Asagi stabs into him from behind. The spear goes through the machine, but Freddy grabs back and holds it... and the segment he was grasping suddenly vanishes to appear a few feet away, falling uselessly to the ground. Still impaled but free from Asagi's grip, the Tern spins around to slash at you!

tengusaur 12:02 pm

wyverncakes 12:02 pm

frifreeman 12:05 pm
(12:05:10 PM): Walt: "Alright team, Devil Sealing Pentacle Formation!" Walt designates Red Tern as the target.
wyverncakes 12:05 pm
(12:05:11 PM): [Eva] You take aim and fire at the Tern, but as you do there's a creaking groan from on high, echoing through the hangar. The Petrel moves, missile tubes opening up before countless come bombarding down on you... only to suddenly split and multiply! As does Freddy as you feel a psychic pressence distort your perceptions!
tengusaur 12:05 pm

Two jumps while shooting, the opposite of hte one who shoot on the ground, to make sure that they won't get hit if the shot miss, and to cover height. While Walt shoot from the top of the star formation.+

(12:17:54 PM): [Walt] Attacked from so far away, Freddy gets caught by surprise. The first shot he dodges, but the second he barely catches in time and gets winged while trying to spin out of the way. "N-no...!" The third, four, and fifth spear through the machine and take off an arm and leg respectively. "I'm not... letting you get away with this now!" Fortunately he's not alone... with monsters moving to intercept the team! A Cloak monster lunging at one, two more being shot at by Multi-Eyes, and the last two (Walt included) being rushed by Wolf monsters!
(12:18:02 PM): (React: Walt and co.)
(12:19:13 PM): [Eva] Some of the missiles you manage to shoot through, some though... your attacks just pass through. More illusions. The Tern gets hammered by the real missiles Samantha fired though, blowing your machine backwards and crashing back against the floor. That hurt... but it could've been worse.
(12:19:45 PM): (Izuru can go. Asagi can as well when you're ready)
cubey@aol.pl 12:20 pm
(12:20:14 PM): Izuru: "..."
(12:20:23 PM): Asagi and Eva were in some hard fight right now.
frifreeman 12:20 pm
(12:20:24 PM): Walt: "No! Damn it, this is the weakness of the Evil Sealing Pentagram!"
wyverncakes 12:20 pm
(12:20:33 PM): (Walt and co. can also go after doing their action, or combine it with your action)
cubey@aol.pl 12:20 pm
(12:20:38 PM): But Walt is the one who needs trouble. He and his team!
frifreeman 12:20 pm
(12:20:49 PM): It's obvious, the genoaces are weak individually, and this formation have them spread out!
(12:20:59 PM): Walt: "I just have one command. SURVIVE"
tengusaur 12:21 pm

(12:21:55 PM): Eva: "...ugh..." She winces.
wyverncakes 12:22 pm
(12:22:35 PM): [Calvin] Damaged as he is, when your shots come Freddy throws up his barrier to prevent anything worse coming to his Tern! The machine then teleports again, above you but only for a moment to shoot at you a bit... before teleporting behind you for a thrusting backstab!
(12:22:38 PM): (React: Calvin)
frifreeman 12:22 pm
(12:22:41 PM): The two machines that were rushed by Wolf Monster braces for impact with their shield forward,the one who's lunged by the cloak monster fires at it again and again in panic, while the final two who are shot by multi eyes monster tries to dodge by boosting left and right.+
VJockey 12:24 pm
(12:24:31 PM): *The answer to this is to gun the engines... the backwash probably won't do much to the Tern other than scorch its paintjob and make Freddy's eyes hurt but if it gets him out of danger that's fine and dandy!+
tengusaur 12:24 pm
(12:24:31 PM): Asagi: "They're attacking from different directions... But if I can find a pattern..." Blue One moves in to assist the Genoace squad, getting in the way of several of the attacking monsters - and opening fire with its heavy machinegun, trying to herd them all into one place, and then catch them into one big barrage! "...There it is!" +
tengusaur 12:24 pm
(12:24:35 PM): (also my action)
cubey@aol.pl 12:25 pm
(12:25:06 PM): Izuru: "... ..."
(12:25:12 PM): He could feel his heart beating.
(12:26:17 PM): Izuru: "UWOOOOOOH!" *And just like that, he screams his lungs out as Red Five charges Freddy's Tern. The pressure created by others won't be wasted here because the AHSMB presses even harder, stabbing with forearm blades and swinging with the chainsword, trying to cut the arms and push them away from his nearest vincinity.+
wyverncakes 12:26 pm
(12:26:35 PM): [Calvin] You bolt away from Freddy just in the nick of time! And those shots come shooting down... turns out they were an insurance policy! The beam catches your TSF in the elbow, blowing the lower limb off.
VJockey 12:27 pm
(12:27:19 PM): "Agh! Oh COME ON!"
wyverncakes 12:27 pm
(12:27:36 PM): Freddy: "Yeah, think you can just get out of the way when-]
(12:28:13 PM): [Izuru] -When Red Five comes swooping by, tearing remaining limbs off the Tern and making it crash to the ground as a ruined torso.
(12:28:27 PM): Samantha: "Izuru..."
wyverncakes 12:29 pm
(12:29:22 PM): More creaking and groaning comes from the Petrel, and with a loud snapping the 100 meter behemoht breaks free of the harness, crashing to the ground.
cubey@aol.pl 12:29 pm
(12:29:28 PM): Izuru: "Ha... ha...."
wyverncakes 12:30 pm
(12:30:01 PM): "... You have your reasons for trying to stop me. I can't let you just Frederick like that... not when he's my only son left."
(12:31:10 PM): Bright burning torches flick on along the Petrel's body, and in a blinding flash it charges. In spite of its size it's closing the distance between the two of you in a heartbeat, swinging a massive, burning torch that's making both radition and thermal sensors freak out in response!
(12:31:13 PM): (React: Izuru)

wyverncakes 12:34 pm
(12:34:15 PM): [Asagi and Genoaces] Individually the Genoaces' efforts to survive range from acceptable to unglorified flailing... and the various evasive and defending efforts work out well enough. The one firing at the Cloak Monster only manages to inflict minor injuries... but fortunately Blue One is there to ward them off! The group of monsters get blasted and have to break off. The dakkafest helps finish of the Cloak monster, along with one of the remaining Wolves!
cubey@aol.pl 12:34 pm
(12:34:44 PM): Izuru: "Woah!"
(12:35:02 PM): *He comes by from his berserk-like state, and can't react in time - other than being pushed by Eva!+
wyverncakes 12:35 pm
(12:35:25 PM): [Eva] The Tern pushes Red Five out of the way in time, and barely escapes itself as the Petrel just blazes by.
(12:35:53 PM): Behind it is a trail of scorched, molten metal... the handiwork of its thrusters.
tengusaur 12:36 pm

frifreeman 12:41 pm

VJockey 12:42 pm
(12:42:07 PM): "I did not just survive a horseman- horsewoman...whatever! I didn't go through yesterday to be burned and irradiated alive!"
tengusaur 12:42 pm

frifreeman 12:43 pm
(12:43:33 PM): Walt: "Yes! Thanks Asagi! I'll buy you anything you want later. What are you youngsters into lately anyway? Sniffing cough syrup? I'll buy you as many cough syrup as you want!"
tengusaur 12:45 pm
(12:45:24 PM): Asagi has no words in response. Just a very unimpressed face.
VJockey 12:46 pm
(12:46:57 PM): "Eva... if you've got a plan I'd really like to hear it."
(12:47:54 PM): *Calvin is going to send a suppressing barrage at whatever remaining monsters there are left!+
wyverncakes 12:48 pm
(12:48:05 PM): (Eneemies: Wolf Monsters x 2, Multieye Monsters x 3, Irregular Monsters x 3, Cloak Monsters x 1, Red Tern (Freddy Angel) (severely damaged), Storm Petrel (Samantha Barton))
wyverncakes 12:49 pm
(12:49:03 PM): [Calvin] There are admittedly a lot of monsters left, but fortunately many of them are weakened by the damage up to this point, especially thanks to Asagi. You catch another Wolf and Irregular monster, but the Multi-eyes rise up as high as they can, firing more flurries of lasers at you!
(12:49:06 PM): (React: Calvin)
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:49 pm
(12:49:20 PM): *Eva: "...We stop Mother's unit, even if we die. That's all that matters in this fight." She rushes the Storm Petrel, aiming to slice off one of its limbs!+
VJockey 12:49 pm
(12:49:45 PM): "...And here I was hoping for something a bit more than that..."
(12:50:10 PM): *Calvin grits his teeth and puts everything he can into not getting carved up by the multi-eyes' barrage!+
tengusaur 12:50 pm
(12:50:24 PM): Asagi: "Let's not talk about dying for once, alright?"
griefgathering has left the room. 12:51 pm
wyverncakes 12:51 pm
(12:51:30 PM): [Calvin] You evade, but some of the lasers are still well-aimed, catching you in the- oh wait you already lost an arm. Hooray for having avoiding attacks because you took previous ones!
wyverncakes 12:53 pm
(12:53:27 PM): [Eva] On the other hand though... you rocket towards the Petrel and the huge machine spins in response. "It's what matters for you, sure. But it's not what I'm wanting." As if a token of mercy, the machine doesn't defend itself with its thrusters. No, a gigantic beam of energy blasts out from its chest straight at you!
(12:53:29 PM): (React: Eva)
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:55 pm
(12:55:06 PM): *Eva twists in the air to avoid the laser, and pushes forward with a stab towards one of the Storm Petrel's shoulders. "Tragedy shouldn't be repaid with more tragedy!"+
wyverncakes 12:57 pm
(12:57:14 PM): [Eva] You narrowly avoid the shot and your blade plunges into the Petrel's shoulder. It's big, but the armor is light and you feel something breaking from the attack. Not enough though, as the Petrel suddenly spins around suddenly. Your Tern goes flying, crashing into a wall. Another bad knock, but you're not out of the fight yet.
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:57 pm
(12:57:43 PM): Eva: "...Not yet..."
wyverncakes 12:57 pm
(12:57:46 PM): Samantha: "If I don't do this... then... this chapter will never end."
(12:58:02 PM): "I can't move on until it's done. It's terrible but..."
(12:58:16 PM): Then the image comes in, for the interior of the Petrel's cockpit.
(12:58:48 PM): It's like seeing a dead woman pilot.
wyverncakes 12:59 pm
(12:59:25 PM): In contrast to the healthy ghostmom who some of you had spoken to before, this Samantha looks older, her body withered.
(12:59:43 PM): Skin and -quite visible underneath it- bones.
(1:00:12 PM): Hair dirty, unkempt, and long uncut.

wyverncakes 1:01 pm
(1:01:47 PM): Another psychic pressence begins to stir, from the ruined red Tern.
(1:01:54 PM): Freddy: "You... have to!"
(1:02:11 PM): "You definitely have to make them pay! Edward and anyone else that was connected...!"
(1:02:25 PM): "See them rot, see them burn for everything!"
(1:03:31 PM): The remaining monsters tremble and burst, the ground growing unsteady around you. The feeling's similar to when Eva teleported you before-
(1:03:46 PM): -And with a pained scream of psychic exertion, Freddy's Tern explodes.
wyverncakes 1:04 pm
(1:04:17 PM): A heartbeat later all of you are suddenly on the surface again, the Petrel included!
(1:04:54 PM): Samantha: "-Free...!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:04 pm

(1:04:58 PM): "What..."
VJockey 1:05 pm
(1:05:14 PM): "!!"
wyverncakes 1:05 pm
(1:05:31 PM): As if a dam had suddenly broken down, a psychic pulse wracks through the area.
wyverncakes 1:06 pm
(1:06:33 PM): Agony, rage, a desperate need for closure passes through all of you. Staggering, but even the least conditioned of you are able to handle it.
(1:06:40 PM): Some of the recon group though...
cubey@aol.pl 1:06 pm

wyverncakes 1:07 pm
(1:07:29 PM): Some die mid-scream, cries being cut short and their machines going unresponsive.
(1:07:39 PM): Others still just stare at the Petrel.
tengusaur 1:07 pm

(1:08:29 PM): "It was real seeing you live, but... well, this is the end. Sorry."
wyverncakes 1:09 pm
(1:09:06 PM): The Petrel's thrusters flare up again, the machine lifting up. You have just seconds before it escapes!
(1:09:21 PM): (Everyone can go now)

(1:10:07 PM): Izuru: "I... cannot..."
(1:10:34 PM): Izuru: "I won't let go... I made... a promise..."
frifreeman 1:12 pm
(1:12:25 PM): His team are wrecked by the psychic pulse, but Walt calmly raise his DODS gun and calmly aim, before unleashes a shot toward the Petrel's thruster+
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:13 pm
(1:13:45 PM): Eva struggles hard to get her breath back under control. "...Ah, aah...Ah." She takes another moment. "...I don't...I can't...I can't let any more people to die. I want us to live in peace, for once! Even if it's selfish, or means abandoning revenge! Do you understand?!"
VJockey 1:13 pm
(1:13:57 PM): *Calvin's got no time to waste. He's opening up on the thrusters with everything he still has left... and while it wasn't a lot the moment his weapon gives out he hurls his remaining cannon mags into the blazing thrusters!+
wyverncakes 1:14 pm
(1:14:22 PM): [Walt] Sometimes it helps to have experience with nasty stuff like this. The DODS gun shot spears through the Petrel's thruster... and out through the other side of the humongous machine. It slumps, stumbling on the ground for a moment.
wyverncakes 1:14 pm
(1:14:28 PM): Samantha: "G-geh...!"
griefgathering has entered the room. 1:15 pm
tengusaur 1:16 pm
(1:16:12 PM): Asagi: "...Now!" Blue One rushes forward, raising its katana, heading straight for the Petrel's chest. Asagi launches two wide strikes at the machine, forming an X-shaped strike, and then stabs right in the middle of it, pressing the blade in as much as he can! +
tengusaur 1:17 pm
(1:17:17 PM): Asagi: "A lot of people died for your vengeance already. Those who did this to you, but also bystandards. And your whole family. Don't you think this is enough?"
cubey@aol.pl 1:18 pm
(1:18:24 PM): Izuru: "Eva, you're wrong."
(1:18:28 PM): "There is..."
(1:18:40 PM): Izuru: "There's nothing selfish about wanting to leave in peace!"
cubey@aol.pl 1:19 pm
(1:19:51 PM): *Trailing light particles, Red Five charges the Petrel as its pilot snaps out of it! Energy seems to gather around it... and it's released as the AHSMB Awakens, hitting with newly-created expanding light swords in the same places Asagi has cut!+
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:20 pm
(1:20:37 PM): *"Izuru..." Eva follows after Izuru, but aims her slashes at he Storm Petrel's hips and knees, not anything vital.+
wyverncakes 1:22 pm
(1:22:47 PM): [Everyone else] Calvin's thrown magazine detonates quite a ways off from the thruster; such is their heat. Still, it does blacken and damage the thruster a bit, and as does Eva stabbing into the Petrel's leg. The AHSMBs slash and smash into the Petrel's chest, tearing through the thin armor... and the machine slumps from the accumulated damage.
cubey@aol.pl 1:22 pm
(1:22:47 PM): *To live (grammar derp)
wyverncakes 1:23 pm
(1:23:11 PM): Samantha: "I'm already dead. Or at least I should be."
(1:23:21 PM): The Petrel's down for the count-
(1:23:23 PM): No.
cubey@aol.pl 1:23 pm
(1:23:49 PM): Izuru: "You don't have to die! didn't want to kill Freddie either! It was alright to disable him!"
wyverncakes 1:24 pm
(1:24:35 PM): Asagi, Izuru, you're close enough you can see into the actual cockpit, see Samantha in person. Her body's hunched over, but... blood begins to trickle out of her nose as the mangled Petrel frame starts to telekinetically restore itself as best as possible!
wyverncakes 1:25 pm
(1:25:00 PM): Small components keep fallnig out and needing replacing constantly... but the Petrel still lives!
cubey@aol.pl 1:25 pm
(1:25:07 PM): Izuru: "Stop it!"
(1:25:22 PM): Izuru: "You'll only kill yourself!"
tengusaur 1:25 pm
(1:25:25 PM): Asagi: "You're going to die if you keep this up..."
wyverncakes 1:25 pm
(1:25:28 PM): One hand swats both Blue One and Red Five away, sending you crashing into the ground!
(1:25:42 PM): Samantha: "Come on Izuru..."
(1:25:51 PM): "I already said I was dead."
tengusaur 1:25 pm
(1:25:57 PM): Asagi: "Urgh...!"
wyverncakes 1:26 pm
(1:26:58 PM): Eva's Tern gets grabbed by the Petrel's other hand, its gun-arm getting crushed as it's thrown off and away next to the facility entrance.
VJockey 1:26 pm
(1:26:58 PM): "Can't fault him for trying..."
wyverncakes 1:27 pm

arachnion01@gmail.com 1:27 pm
(1:27:36 PM): Eva:" Gaaah!"
tengusaur 1:29 pm
(1:29:42 PM): Asagi: "Eva!" He quickly moves in, trying to grab the Petrel's attention by circling around it in the air and firing his beam cannon at it several times. +
VJockey 1:30 pm
(1:30:19 PM): "Eva-"
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:30 pm
(1:30:42 PM): Eva: "...It's fine. It's just - the arm..."
VJockey 1:30 pm
(1:30:47 PM): [Calvin's going to move his Eagle over to the facility entrance to check on the Tern...]
cubey@aol.pl 1:31 pm
(1:31:23 PM): Izuru: "Ugha..."
(1:31:35 PM): The awakened Red Five lifts itself up with jerky movements.
VJockey 1:31 pm
(1:31:36 PM): "If you're sure."
cubey@aol.pl 1:31 pm
(1:31:58 PM): Izuru: "I thought you were dead before... but I was mistaken!"
(1:32:04 PM): Izuru: "And nothing changed since then!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:32 pm
(1:32:14 PM): The Tern's left arm has been ripped off just above the elbow, the stump being partially melted and fused as well.
wyverncakes 1:32 pm
(1:32:48 PM): [Asagi] Your shots hit into the Petrel, but it responds in kind. Missiles upon missiles are released at you... and two point-defense laser cannons emerge from its shoulders, firing rapidly at your position!
(1:32:52 PM): (React: Asagi)
cubey@aol.pl 1:33 pm
(1:33:30 PM): Izuru: "This is why... stay down... and leave my friends alone! Ugyaaa!"
cubey@aol.pl 1:35 pm
(1:35:07 PM): *Red Five suddenly boosts to the skies above, leaving only a trail of light in its wake. From above, it swoops down at the large foe, wings around it spreading dramatically - and then it spins, and they try to entangle themselves around one of its arms. Red Five's arms strike down at the enemy limb, trying to seperate it with an energified melee strike - and if it happens, the wings quickly throw the arm away!+
tengusaur 1:35 pm
(1:35:12 PM): Asagi: "Structural integrity getting low... I can't afford to get hit head-on!" He starts to zoom around in an evasive maneuver, close to the wall, catching enough time to draw a laser pistol and then shoot it several times over the shoulder at the incoming missiles while still dodging! +
wyverncakes 1:37 pm
(1:37:13 PM): [Asagi] Your pistol catches some of the missiles, and others still seem to miss you anyways... but that's just what Samantha wants. One missile that goes by gets sniped by the point-defense laser cannon, still catching you in its blast!
(1:37:29 PM): Blue One goes down, alarms going off inside of the machine as you crash into the ground!
tengusaur 1:37 pm
(1:37:42 PM): Asagi: "Argh...!"
wyverncakes 1:37 pm
(1:37:49 PM): (Blue One, grounded but not downed)
VJockey 1:39 pm
(1:39:25 PM): "You okay in there?!"
(1:39:42 PM): [Crap this was getting way too familiar...]
tengusaur 1:40 pm
(1:40:36 PM): Asagi: "I can still move. Don't worry about me; I'm not the one in a mech with psychic feedback that just lost an arm!"
wyverncakes 1:41 pm
(1:41:18 PM): [Izuru] Red Five comes down on the arm, tearing into it easily enough... but "Izuru..." Samantha instead chooses to just disassemble the ruined arm... turning it into a mass of jagged metal. Metal she then blasts into Red Five's body, knocking it up into the air! "You're a real hero... the kind that'd never stop trying to stop me. I wish you weren't liked that... but then again if you survive... don't ever change."
wyverncakes 1:41 pm
(1:41:36 PM): And then to try to kill you, she fires off the Petrel's massive chest cannon at the damaged machine.
(1:41:38 PM): (React: Asagi)
(1:41:42 PM): (Walt and Calvin can go)
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:41 pm
(1:41:45 PM): Eva: "I said...I'm fine..." The Tern struggles up to its feet.

cubey@aol.pl 1:43 pm
(1:43:08 PM): Izuru: "Sorry, but it can't be helped!"
cubey@aol.pl 1:44 pm
(1:44:22 PM): *Red Five's wings turn into an energy half-sphere, trying to contain the flachette blast. And as the cannon blast fires at the AHSMB, it swings them to throw the sharpnel in the way of the attack - while using the swing's momentum, not to mention Red Five's natural agility, to flee to the side!+
VJockey 1:46 pm
(1:46:19 PM): *No ammo left... so... Calvin draws the knife and grits his teeth. Things are never easy. While Samantha was occupied with Izuru, Calvin chooses to strike! Sending the point of the blade through where the armor was damaged!+
wyverncakes 1:46 pm
(1:46:24 PM): [Izuru] Your wings guard against the worst of the Petrel's weaponized arm-storm, yet Samantha's telekinetic prowess still makes some push through and into Red Five's body. Not enough to stop you though, and when the rest are thrown into the course of the beam they're blown away immediately. Your own maneuver keeps you alive too... barely but that's good enough.

(1:48:21 PM): Walt pops out behind Petrel out of nowhere, jumping at it and stabs downward with his heat stake, helped by a generous helping of downward thruster. "So what do you actually want? Do you want closure or not? Because dying is actually the ultimate closure you know."
wyverncakes 1:48 pm
(1:48:22 PM): [Calvin] There's no shortage of weak spots on the Petrel's body, and your knife sinks in deep in the area under its now-destroyed arm. "Down to throwing things at me?" The Petrel turns its attention, and shoulder cannons to you, a rapid burst of shots coming your way!
frifreeman 1:48 pm
(1:48:24 PM): +
wyverncakes 1:48 pm
(1:48:25 PM): (React: Calvin)
VJockey 1:49 pm
(1:49:06 PM): *Being out in the open means he could more easily try dash to cover if it was around!+
(1:49:40 PM): "Whatever I can do, I'll do."
(1:50:05 PM): "When I'm not digging out the truth I'll fight tooth and nail with everyone else."
cubey@aol.pl 1:50 pm
(1:50:14 PM): Izuru: "So close..."
cubey@aol.pl 1:50 pm
(1:50:36 PM): Izuru: "She really wants to kill us! But..."
wyverncakes 1:51 pm
(1:51:07 PM): [Walt] The heat stake plunges down into the Petrel's head, crushing through it. "... You know, I probably wouldn't die even if you killed me. Nineteen years down there didn't do it, what's a few bullets to that?" Instead of knocking you away, Samantha's telekinetic power draws you in closer, pinning you against the machine as the turrets swivle around again to fire on you!
(1:51:09 PM): (React: Walt)

(1:51:27 PM): #walt
wyverncakes 1:51 pm
(1:51:37 PM): (Approved. If you wand to combine it with your action, go ahead)
(1:51:57 PM): [Calvin] The point-defense guns raked the ground near you as you ran to try to get to cover... but cover's far away and the blasts come dangerously close-... but Walt's own attack draws Samantha's attention away from you!
VJockey 1:52 pm
(1:52:04 PM): "Well maybe you'll be in a more agreeable state to not kill people."
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:53 pm
(1:53:07 PM): *Seeing Walt about to be perforated, Eva zips over to help, the Tern floating just above the ground as it moves-to grab walt's Genoace with its good arm, and forcibly fling him away from the Storm Petrel.&
frifreeman 1:55 pm
(1:55:37 PM): And Walt raises his gun and tries to shoot the turrets a couple of time, hoping that he could blow it away before it shoots too much+
wyverncakes 1:56 pm
(1:56:08 PM): [Eva] You yank Walt's Genoace free with great difficulty, his shots managing to blast into the Petrel's backside and once more blow through to the front end...
(1:56:13 PM): ^[Eva and Walt]
(1:56:25 PM): [Eva cont.] But now you're the one in the path of those beam shots!
(1:56:30 PM): (React/continue: Eva)
cubey@aol.pl 1:56 pm
(1:56:50 PM): Izuru: "Eva!"
VJockey 1:58 pm
(1:58:37 PM): "Oh hell... not again... Get out of there!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 1:59 pm
(1:59:27 PM): *Eva: "...Go." Again, Eva slacks off on her defence, making sure that Walt actually gets away-and keeping her close to Samantha. The blade on her good arm is in position, and she makes two vertical slashes-one going down to clear out the storm petrel's left side, one going up to dismember its right. Even as the Tern gets holes blasted through its legs and wings.+
frifreeman 1:59 pm
(1:59:39 PM): Walt throws her shield to block the shots as she's blwon back by Eva+
wyverncakes 2:01 pm
(2:01:30 PM): (# Walt?)
wyverncakes 2:04 pm
(2:04:20 PM): [Walt and Eva] The beams come raining down, some even striking through the Tern. But others don't, courtesy of Walt's thrown shield. And the Tern's sword cuts down with a vengeance, cleaving through the Petrel's left limbs and then its right leg.
(2:04:43 PM): The big machine crashes to the ground, the Tern following shortly thereafter.
cubey@aol.pl 2:04 pm
(2:04:56 PM): Izuru: "You can do it!"
(2:05:01 PM): Izuru: "... She did it..."
VJockey 2:06 pm
(2:06:00 PM): "... But what happens now is what I want to know.."
(2:06:16 PM): "Samantha is still..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:06 pm
(2:06:29 PM): The Tern lies slumped forward on the ground, propping itself up with the one remaining arm. The hatch on the back of its neck opens, and Eva rushes out, climbing down to the Storm Petrel. "Please, please..."
VJockey 2:06 pm
(2:06:35 PM): [A crazy powerful psychic who already claimed she wouldn't die if killed.]
wyverncakes 2:06 pm
(2:06:58 PM): The way to the downed Storm Petrel is clear, and it's not fighting back or trying to mend itself.
(2:07:35 PM): You get up on top, and down in the cockpit is Samantha, looking up at you. Weakly.
(2:07:41 PM): Samantha: "... Eva..."
tengusaur 2:07 pm
(2:07:46 PM): Asagi: "...What's going to happen now...?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:08 pm
(2:08:18 PM): Eva's brought a shotgun with her from the Tern's cockpit. A shotgun with which she is opening up the storm petrel, forcibly.
cubey@aol.pl 2:08 pm
(2:08:57 PM): Izuru: "I don't know what'll happen now, but..."
(2:09:13 PM): Izuru: "In the end, it's a mother and daughter reunion, right?"
wyverncakes 2:09 pm
(2:09:33 PM): The cockpit, having already been torn earlier, is easy enough to fully pry open.
tengusaur 2:09 pm
(2:09:42 PM): Asagi: "..."
wyverncakes 2:09 pm
(2:09:45 PM): And just like Izuru said, it's a mother-daughter reunion at last.
VJockey 2:09 pm
(2:09:53 PM): "..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:10 pm
(2:10:33 PM): Eva hops inside, sitting down next to Samantha. She holds her mother's hand, and places it on her chest. "...Sorry."
wyverncakes 2:12 pm
(2:12:15 PM): Samantha: "... this is how it ends, isn't it?"
(2:12:28 PM): She laughs again weakly.
(2:12:32 PM): "Could be worse."
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:13 pm
(2:13:09 PM): Eva: "...Don't go."
wyverncakes 2:14 pm
(2:14:21 PM): Samantha: "How would I stay?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:14 pm
(2:14:46 PM): Eva looks down in the cockpit at that, avoiding her mother's eyes.
(2:15:43 PM): Her vision is getting blurry. What's all this stuff in her eyes? It's hot, and running down her face.
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:16 pm
(2:16:43 PM): "...I don't want to be left alone..."
wyverncakes 2:17 pm
(2:17:14 PM): "Oh Eva..."
(2:17:25 PM): Samantha leans over and... hugs Eva.
(2:17:32 PM): "Don't be like that."
(2:17:40 PM): "You have friends who care about you."
(2:17:48 PM): "Good people through and through."
(2:18:01 PM): "It's more than any of the rest of us got."
(2:18:14 PM): "Maybe more than we deserved, considering how we turned out."
(2:18:19 PM): "But this..."
(2:18:40 PM): Samantha rests her head on your shoulder.
wyverncakes 2:18 pm
(2:18:53 PM): "... this isn't so bad."
(2:18:57 PM): She closes her eyes.
(2:19:12 PM): And smiles.
arachnion01@gmail.com 2:19 pm
(2:19:31 PM): Eva stays there, hugging Samantha.
wyverncakes 2:20 pm
(2:20:37 PM): Samantha's body steadily grows colder, but her smile doesn't fade.
(2:20:40 PM): Even after, well...
wyverncakes 2:21 pm
(2:21:14 PM): Now she really had passed on.
(2:21:24 PM): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

cubey@aol.pl 2:23 pm
(2:23:20 PM): Izuru: "Eva..."
(2:23:45 PM): He fulfilled his promise, but he doesn't feel happy about it. Well... not only happy. It's complicated.
tengusaur 2:24 pm
(2:24:15 PM): Asagi: "..."
(2:24:19 PM): Asagi: "...Let's give her time."
