Mission 134 - What Lies Ahead

[srwu_mods]

wyverncakes 10:32 am
(10:32:14 AM): A short time ago, another distress signal was received by the Unity Group. Like the previous one, it was from an SSR member!
(10:33:04 AM): Specifically, our good friend from Beater Services Rand Travis!
cubey@aol.pl 10:34 am
(10:34:18 AM): Getting a request from SSR was unusual enough, but...
(10:34:25 AM): Setsuko: "Rand? Rand is in trouble?"
wyverncakes 10:34 am
(10:34:26 AM): A small medical camp he had been checking in at had come under attack from a number of assailants.
cubey@aol.pl 10:34 am
(10:34:35 AM): Setsuko: "From all people..."
wyverncakes 10:35 am
(10:35:15 AM): Nevertheless, into the fray once more for you.
(10:35:15 AM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
VJockey 10:35 am
(10:35:20 AM): "... It matters not... battle calls and so does our warrior duty!"
tengusaur 10:35 am
(10:35:21 AM): Asagi: "It must be serious if the Crusher is calling for help."
Aero 10:35 am
(10:35:44 AM): Willis: "The Heat remember! Using that other one will just tick him off."
VJockey 10:36 am
(10:36:08 AM): "But isn't the Crusher a more intimidating and fearsome name?"
tengusaur 10:36 am
(10:36:21 AM): Asagi: "Right, right. Blue One, ready for takeoff..."
VJockey 10:36 am
(10:36:35 AM): "From what I have heard his machine is awe inspiring and vicious indeed!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:37 am
(10:37:09 AM): Setsuko: "Maybe he has bad experience with it? No, no time to discuss this!"
VJockey 10:37 am
(10:37:25 AM): "Of course. My apologies! To arms!"
wyverncakes 10:37 am
(10:37:52 AM): Once a team's assembled a shuttle makes all available speed for the camp in an isolated valley region. The hills make it hard to get a good view of the camp as you near it, but at one point a large beam of energy cuts through up into the sky.
cubey@aol.pl 10:38 am
(10:38:13 AM): Setsuko: "To attack a medical camp... who'd go down low to do it?"
Aero 10:38 am
(10:38:14 AM): Willis: "Already?"
VJockey 10:38 am
(10:38:18 AM): [And Skald is loaded up in a catdaptor installed Guarlion.]
VJockey 10:38 am
(10:38:43 AM): "Pfeh... dishonorable scum!"
(10:38:48 AM): "That's who!"
(10:38:59 AM): "Vultures... birds!"
wyverncakes 10:39 am
(10:39:21 AM): And as you near the camp, you see that it...
(10:39:36 AM): ... Is entirely undamaged.
Meraxa 10:39 am
(10:39:49 AM): Ken: ...This is odd.
wyverncakes 10:40 am
(10:40:04 AM): The same cannot be said for the Gunleon though as it seems to back away from the two machines that have been pressuring it constantly.
(10:40:07 AM): Those machines?
Fri Freeman 10:40 am
(10:40:08 AM): Walt: "No, it's wrong."
(10:40:15 AM): Walt: "It's quiet.... to quiet"
Aero 10:40 am
(10:40:22 AM): Willis: "...no way."
wyverncakes 10:40 am
(10:40:23 AM): (First machine: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/superrobotwars/images/5/5f/Balgora.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/179?cb=20150226070449)
(10:40:35 AM): (Second machine: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/superrobotwars/images/7/7e/Virgola-unit2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150226074927)
tengusaur 10:40 am
(10:40:41 AM): Asagi: "..."
Meraxa 10:41 am
(10:41:02 AM): Ken: ...Wait...
wyverncakes 10:41 am
(10:41:10 AM): Mail: "Darling, even Gunleon's repair functions won't be able to keep up with this for much longer!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:41 am
(10:41:15 AM): Setsuko: "..."
wyverncakes 10:41 am
(10:41:29 AM): Rand; "I know, I know! But just going all out against these two-"
(10:41:32 AM): ???: "Shut up!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:41 am
(10:41:32 AM): Setsuko: "What are the Virgolas doing here?!"
wyverncakes 10:41 am
(10:41:47 AM): That's a familiar voice though!
Aero 10:41 am
(10:41:51 AM): Willis: "!"
VJockey 10:41 am
(10:41:58 AM): "What kind of trickery is this?"
wyverncakes 10:42 am
(10:42:05 AM): (???: http://lpix.org/1522694/Toby-Glare.png)
(10:42:20 AM): Toby?: "After everything you've done you want to try to act the saint now?"
tengusaur 10:42 am
(10:42:44 AM): Asagi: "Toby? But this doesn't make sense... I saw him die. I was there!"
wyverncakes 10:42 am
(10:42:53 AM): Denzel?: "Don't let up! It could be some sort of trick!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:43 am
(10:43:03 AM): Setsuko: "Toby? Chief? What are you doing?"
(10:43:07 AM): Setsuko: "What's going on!"
Fri Freeman 10:43 am
(10:43:21 AM): Walt: "Wait. Denzel?"
VJockey 10:43 am
(10:43:27 AM): "Its no doubt some sort of trick to decieve us."
wyverncakes 10:43 am
(10:43:43 AM): Denzel?: "More units coming- what the?! Another Virgola? He was right!"
Meraxa 10:43 am
(10:43:58 AM): Ken: ...He?
wyverncakes 10:43 am
(10:43:59 AM): The two machines suddenly turn to face you... both brandishing the Carver rifles!
Fri Freeman 10:44 am
(10:44:22 AM): Walt: "Of course, cat. Why would we think otherwise? It's like if someone hand you a million dollar on the street, would you think it otherwise?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:44 am
(10:44:47 AM): The Virgola Glory stands still.
wyverncakes 10:44 am
(10:44:50 AM): Denzel: "You have a lot of nerve showing up in one of our units, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised!"
VJockey 10:44 am
(10:44:52 AM): "Indeed depressed looking human! This is obviously some sort of ... tricky trick!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:44 am
(10:44:52 AM): Setsuko: "What are you..."
tengusaur 10:44 am
(10:44:55 AM): Asagi: "Toby! Chief Denzel! Why are you attacking the Cru- Rand? He's on our side."
Aero 10:45 am
(10:45:32 AM): Willis: "Especially in a relief camp of all places."
cubey@aol.pl 10:46 am
(10:46:16 AM): Setsuko: "What's come to you? And more importantly..."
(10:46:24 AM): Setsuko: "How are you alive? I saw both of you... die!"
(10:46:34 AM): Her voice shakes with uncertainity.
Fri Freeman 10:47 am
(10:47:56 AM): Walt: " guess cat won't understand money metaphor, so just think of it like, what if a guy just suddenly hand you a can of tuna on the street? ...wait, cats would just eat that anyway."
wyverncakes 10:48 am
(10:48:31 AM): Denzel: "You didn't see us die, but ever since we got dropped here we've been trying to find the people responsible for this!"
(10:48:40 AM): Toby: "And that would be him, and YOU!"
(10:48:59 AM): Virgola Unit 2 swings its rifle in Barley Scythe configuration, an energy wave cutting across the ground at the Virgola Glory!
(10:49:02 AM): (React: Setsuko)
VJockey 10:49 am
(10:49:11 AM): #Setsuko?
wyverncakes 10:49 am
(10:49:30 AM): (Approved)
cubey@aol.pl 10:49 am
(10:49:34 AM): Setsuko: "Dropped here? And..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:50 am
(10:50:04 AM): *She comes under attack! But Setsuko reacts quickly, jumping to the side - and to the skies, the wings taking Virgola up.+
VJockey 10:50 am
(10:50:29 AM): *There's one very loud and angry cat yowl as the Guarlion rushes in, assault blade roaring to life as it seeks to block the incoming Barley Scythe by parrying the rifle it was attatched to!+
wyverncakes 10:51 am
(10:51:32 AM): [Setsuko] The wave crashes through the camp towards you, miraculously not hitting anything there and nor you as you get out of the way! Denzel's not pleased by this at all either. "... Moving like that, first the machine and now the moves of the Glory Star? you really have no shame!"\
(10:51:56 AM): [Skald] As you rush in to intercept however, you suddenly get waylaid by a black machine crashing into you by the side!
(10:52:03 AM): It's... a bird!
Meraxa 10:52 am
(10:52:07 AM): Ken: She IS Glory Star! You three were a team! Why don't you recognise her?!
VJockey 10:52 am
(10:52:16 AM): "Argh-"
(10:52:23 AM): "....BIRDS!!!!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:52 am
(10:52:35 AM): Setsuko: "Even if it's a trick, this kind of movement is very Toby-like!"
wyverncakes 10:52 am
(10:52:35 AM): (Cornix: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/Kuruni/Store/cornix.jpg)
VJockey 10:52 am
(10:52:36 AM): "ACCURSED AVIANS! YOU DARE RETURN?!"
wyverncakes 10:52 am
(10:52:38 AM): And not just that...
(10:52:44 AM): More of those Virgola knock-offs arrive too!
(10:52:55 AM): (Canis: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g298/strike_zero/Lineart/2ndOG/canis-altaph_zpsb4b33e69.jpg)
tengusaur 10:52 am
(10:52:55 AM): Asagi: "...Rand and Mail come from an alternate reality, don't they? And these two clearly know them. Maybe that means-"
cubey@aol.pl 10:53 am
(10:53:13 AM): Setsuko: "!"
(10:53:15 AM): Those birds.
tengusaur 10:53 am
(10:53:22 AM): Asagi: "...Asakim's robots."
cubey@aol.pl 10:53 am
(10:53:30 AM): Setsuko: "Who is 'him'? Who is the man who told you all about this, and me?!"
wyverncakes 10:53 am
(10:53:31 AM): Toby: "Alright, backup! And about time since we've got a lot more people to take down."
cubey@aol.pl 10:53 am
(10:53:43 AM): She has a very bad suspicion. But, it can't be...
wyverncakes 10:53 am
(10:53:54 AM): (Lineup: Setsuko, Ken, Asagi, Walt, Skald, Willis)
wyverncakes 10:54 am
(10:54:20 AM): (Enemies: Virgola Unit 1 (Denzel), Virgola unit 2 (Toby), Cornix x 9, Canis x 7)
(10:54:23 AM): (Setsuko, Ken, Asagi)
(10:55:52 AM): Denzel: "His name's Asakim Dowen. Maybe you heard of him, maybe you haven't."
Aero 10:55 am
(10:55:53 AM): Willis: "Those MP Virgolas also."
cubey@aol.pl 10:56 am
(10:56:05 AM): Setsuko: "Asakim..."
(10:56:13 AM): Setsuko: "He's dead. I saw him die..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:56 am
(10:56:31 AM): This is starting to look like a pattern...
wyverncakes 10:56 am
(10:56:32 AM): "But he's told us you and the other guy are the ones to blame for us getting brought here!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:56 am
(10:56:36 AM): Setsuko: "He's tricking you!"
wyverncakes 10:56 am
(10:56:44 AM): Rand: "Asakim did-?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:57 am
(10:57:04 AM): Setsuko: "He only cheats and manipulates people! He was responsible for your own deaths... this world's you!"
tengusaur 10:57 am
(10:57:27 AM): Asagi: "Maybe he manipulated them before he died. Just like he did with Rand." Blue One starts to circle around the Cornixes, peppering a few of them with several long bursts from its machinegun, each fired at a different angle. +
wyverncakes 10:57 am
(10:57:27 AM): For his part the Gunleon is falling back, but only enough that it can get some emergency repairs done.
Meraxa 10:57 am
(10:57:29 AM): Ken: ...The man's been both friend and foe to us. Don't tell me... *Ken muses on the matter, but first! He's going to try and lock up 'Toby' with his coiling, Scarlet Whip!+
VJockey 10:57 am
(10:57:56 AM): "Perhaps..."
wyverncakes 10:58 am
(10:58:51 AM): [Ken] Virgola Unit 2 springs backwards as your whip lashes out, catching nothing but air. "More cat machines? What's with this place and them?" The machine takes aim, firing solid rounds at the ScarleTiger!
(10:58:54 AM): (React: Ken)
cubey@aol.pl 10:59 am
(10:59:02 AM): # Ken
(10:59:05 AM): (Combining with action)
wyverncakes 10:59 am
(10:59:11 AM): (Go for it)
cubey@aol.pl 10:59 am
(10:59:21 AM): Setsuko: "Ken, everyone..."
(10:59:37 AM): Setsuko: "Please leave them to me."
(11:00:31 AM): *As Toby's Virgola aims to fire, Setsuko falls down on it from above! The Nautilus Carver's butt slams down on the Gunnery unit!
wyverncakes 11:00 am
(11:00:54 AM): [Asagi] The bird-bots take to the air, scattering as you fire at them. One's not so lucky though and your machinegun wings it! Damaged enough to not be able to fly anymore, but not damaged enough to explode in air, it falls... straight towards the camp!
cubey@aol.pl 11:00 am
(11:00:58 AM): Setsuko: "If they won't listen, I will have to make them. I am... no longer the afraid girl from before! I grew stronger, and I will prove it!"
wyverncakes 11:01 am
(11:01:01 AM): (React: well anyone to this)
Meraxa 11:01 am
(11:01:16 AM): Ken attempts to deftly dodge the Virgola unit's fire, falling back as Setsuko comes crashing down. "That doesn't mean you have take 'em solo!"+
cubey@aol.pl 11:01 am
(11:01:47 AM): *As soon as the Carver hits the enemy, Setsuko follows up - the physical blade component materializes, and she spins her weapon to slice the enemy's limb off!+
(11:01:53 AM): Setsuko: "... No."
VJockey 11:01 am
(11:01:54 AM): *Skald is going to rush at the bird bot, pushing the Guarlion to top speed to tackle it away!+
(11:02:19 AM): "Away with you foul avian!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:02 am
(11:02:20 AM): Setsuko: "These movements. I know Virgola and the GS Combat Action more than anyone else."
(11:02:32 AM): Setsuko: "Toby, Chief... I'll show you the right stuff."
(11:02:47 AM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVCQZfSkuE0
Aldo Salt 11:03 am
(11:03:02 AM): #Ken?
tengusaur 11:03 am
(11:03:05 AM): Asagi: "I won't let something like that happen again." Blue One swings its coil, trying to bat the dropping crow away from the camp. +
wyverncakes 11:03 am
(11:03:09 AM): (He's already covered by Setsuko)
Aldo Salt 11:03 am
(11:03:38 AM): @Skald?
wyverncakes 11:03 am
(11:03:49 AM): (Go ahead)
(11:04:52 AM): [Setsuko and Ken] The ScarleTiger gets out of the way of those shots... but as the Glory comes crashing down Unit 2 evades as well! Your physical blade is met in kind with the unit's own massive energy blade, but your aim is a little more true, cutting off the front end of the Carver barrel as Toby seeths in frustration.
cubey@aol.pl 11:05 am
(11:05:21 AM): Setsuko: "Toby. Lt Watson. Please stop this!"
Aldo Salt 11:06 am
(11:06:13 AM): *"My, my," a mysterious newcomer intones (okay, it's Dido). "A lot of folks are coming back from the dead today!" The Bird Bot gets its wings clipped by a few Arc Thorns as Skald tackles it!+
wyverncakes 11:06 am
(11:06:25 AM): Toby: "You talk a whole lot... and you really want to act like we're friends or something! But the Glory Star is a two-man team as far as I and and the Chief are concerned!"
(11:06:36 AM): Denzel: "We'll take her down together Toby, for the pride of the Glory Star!"
wyverncakes 11:07 am
(11:07:30 AM): [Skald, Asagi, and Dido] It's turtle, rabbit, and cat versus birds. The falling Cornix gets knocked away from the camp safely, others shot up and otherwise driven away from the immediate overhead of the camp!
(11:07:46 AM): (Updated lineup: (Lineup: Setsuko, Ken, Asagi, Walt, Skald, Dido, Willis)
(11:07:54 AM): (Walt, Skald, Dido, Willis0
cubey@aol.pl 11:08 am
(11:08:15 AM): Setsuko: "I am carrying the pride of the Glory Star too. I went through so much, but I didn't abandon it."
(11:08:23 AM): Setsuko: "Ken-kun, are you okay?"
tengusaur 11:08 am
(11:08:59 AM): Asagi: "There, that took care of that one. Thanks, Skald. And Dido."
Fri Freeman 11:09 am
(11:09:02 AM): Walt: "So... clones, alternate universe, robotic construct, mental projection mirroring our memories, ghosts?"
Fri Freeman 11:09 am
(11:09:44 AM): Walt: "Or maybe it's computer simulation of the glory stars?"
Aero 11:09 am
(11:09:51 AM): * "That leaves the other copies." Strahlend takes and soars straight towards the Canis', Quicksilver drawn as he begins to cut through any target that he got close to. +
Meraxa 11:10 am
(11:10:17 AM): Ken: Not a scratch on me!
Fri Freeman 11:10 am
(11:10:17 AM): Walt: "Or... wait. What if I am the computer simulation that only thought that I am the real Walt Schmertz and those two are the real person?"
Atrament Corel 11:10 am
(11:10:22 AM): @Willis?
VJockey 11:10 am
(11:10:34 AM): "There is no issue at all Asagi of Toshikazu!"
Aldo Salt 11:10 am
(11:10:35 AM): Dido: "Setsuko! If these guys are really Toby and Denzel…tell them things only they'd know! Secrets that only their friends would know!"
VJockey 11:10 am
(11:10:43 AM): "Let us continue this fight!"
tengusaur 11:10 am
(11:10:45 AM): Asagi: "Whatever the case... I'll leave them to you, Setsuko. We'll take care of the rest."
wyverncakes 11:10 am
(11:10:57 AM): (Approved)
Fri Freeman 11:11 am
(11:11:21 AM): Walt: "Good idea, though if it's mental projection mirrorring her memory they should know anyway, or if they're alternate universe where Setsuko doesn't exist they won't know any event involving her."
VJockey 11:11 am
(11:11:34 AM): *The Cat now goes on the offensive, seeking to chase down other Cornixes and carve them open with the Assault blade!+
cubey@aol.pl 11:11 am
(11:11:41 AM): Setsuko: "They said they don't know who I am!"
tengusaur 11:11 am
(11:11:49 AM): Asagi: "...Can we stop with the overthinking crazy theories for a moment?"
VJockey 11:11 am
(11:11:58 AM): "This machine may not have claws... however its fangs may still lay you open!"
Atrament Corel 11:12 am
(11:12:03 AM): Elys: (to Willis) "Watch your left."
cubey@aol.pl 11:12 am
(11:12:05 AM): Setsuko: "But...it's true. Chief, you really like to refresh yourself with beer after a hard day, right?"
Fri Freeman 11:12 am
(11:12:15 AM): Walt: "But anyway, I have some ideas, so let's have experiment. Team, spread out and fire combination delta at the maybe-denzel!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:12 am
(11:12:16 AM): Setsuko: "And Toby... you have a fiancee waiting for you!"
wyverncakes 11:12 am
(11:12:51 AM): [Skald] Your blade flashes, cutting into the bird machine as it squaks at you. First as if as an attack, sonic waves damaging you slightly... but then it all dies away and it gets cut apart!
Fri Freeman 11:13 am
(11:13:06 AM): Walt lead the way, and the 8th Genoace Team fires their beam gun in a spread manner which makes them harder to dodge. It's not about focusing damage, it's about at least getting one hit!+
wyverncakes 11:13 am
(11:13:10 AM): Toby: "You've got a lotta nerve calling him 'Chief' like that!"
Atrament Corel 11:13 am
(11:13:13 AM): *Amagahara descends from above, firing arrows from its bow as it does so. The projectiles are let loose rapidly on the crow machines, creating a long trail across the enemy formation and on the ground!+
Aero 11:13 am
(11:13:14 AM): Willis: "You're a bit late."
wyverncakes 11:13 am
(11:13:17 AM): "And you're dead wrong about the fiancee thing too!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:13 am
(11:13:37 AM): Setsuko: "R... really?"
wyverncakes 11:14 am
(11:14:19 AM): Denzel: "The jig's finally up. Knew if she spoke long enough she'd show just how little she really knows about us!"
Aldo Salt 11:14 am
(11:14:19 AM): Dido hisses. "Ooooh…"
cubey@aol.pl 11:15 am
(11:15:06 AM): Setsuko: "They're not the same as the Toby and Chief I know?"
wyverncakes 11:15 am
(11:15:59 AM): [Willis and Elys] The remaining Cornixes tried to move in as Willis charged, by Elys's supporting fire shot down that plan. Strahlend's sword crashes into a Canis's own Carver blade, and the machine spins around to try to shoot at you from the side quickly!
VJockey 11:16 am
(11:16:00 AM): "Curses! Dido of Sybil, do you have any other suggestions? Ones that could succeed?"
wyverncakes 11:16 am
(11:16:02 AM): (React: Willis)
Meraxa 11:16 am
(11:16:33 AM): Ken: Any old recordings left inside your computer systems? Last transmissions?
wyverncakes 11:16 am
(11:16:59 AM): [Walt] The other Canis machines take evasive maneuvers, but the spread shots do their job, catching one of the machines in the leg and making it fall to the ground. Its response? Fire at all of you with equal ferocity!
(11:17:02 AM): (React: Walt)
VJockey 11:17 am
(11:17:02 AM): "Kentaro Torao I do not think that would be the best of plans!"
Fri Freeman 11:17 am
(11:17:05 AM): Walt: "Hah! Actually cat, no"
(11:17:14 AM): Walt: "Dido's plan work perfectly!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:17 am
(11:17:15 AM): Setsuko: "I don't have anything like that on hand!"
Fri Freeman 11:17 am
(11:17:38 AM): Walt: "It's been a while since I've seen a plan that works that perfectly."
tengusaur 11:17 am
(11:17:44 AM): Asagi: "Maybe try showing them that we're not the ones they should blame for this situation, first!"
Fri Freeman 11:18 am
(11:18:12 AM): Walt: "You see, every one of us know about Toby's fiancee and Denzel's drinking problem right? That means they're not Setsuko's false memory."
(11:18:22 AM): Walt: "That means, in fact, they're not Toby and Denzel."
VJockey 11:18 am
(11:18:29 AM): "........."
Aero 11:18 am
(11:18:31 AM): * Willis releases his grip on his weapon for a brief second to break the deadlock before moving forward and catching the blade with his other hand to cut through the Carver and the Canis holding it. +
VJockey 11:18 am
(11:18:35 AM): "That is correct!"
Fri Freeman 11:18 am
(11:18:40 AM): Walt: "It's them who don't know about Toby and Denzel or Setsuko at all."
(11:18:54 AM): Walt: "That means we can kill them without holding back."
VJockey 11:18 am
(11:18:56 AM): "Or the fact that the Glory Stars were three! Not two!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:18 am
(11:18:58 AM): Setsuko: "Maybe so."
(11:19:08 AM): Setsuko: "But, they are only here because they are manipulated by Asakim."
(11:19:50 AM): Setsuko: "I don't know how he managed to stay alive... but I won't let him cause any more pain or suffering."
VJockey 11:19 am
(11:19:55 AM): "... Show them mercy if you can. But if it is your life or theirs Setsuko Ohara, ensure you choose yours."
Aldo Salt 11:19 am
(11:19:56 AM): "Uh, Walt?" Dido says hastily. "Let's not jump the gun. They could just be mirror universe versions of Toby and Denzel that lived different lives…"
cubey@aol.pl 11:20 am
(11:20:02 AM): Setsuko: "Especially towards people who look like my friends!"
Fri Freeman 11:20 am
(11:20:16 AM): Walt: "So? Not our Toby and Denzel. Who cares. Let's just kill them."
wyverncakes 11:20 am
(11:20:48 AM): [Willis] The Carver comes slashing down, but Quicksilver strikes true all the same, slicing through both blade and machine.
Aldo Salt 11:21 am
(11:21:19 AM): *Dido fires at more of the birds with her Arc Thorns, then follows up with the one-two combo of a Lance Shock!+
Meraxa 11:21 am
(11:21:38 AM): Ken: Honestly, given Asakim somehow survived a black hole before...
wyverncakes 11:21 am
(11:21:42 AM): (Updated lineup take 2: Setsuko, Ken, Asagi, Walt, Skald, Dido, Elys, Willis)
Aldo Salt 11:21 am
(11:21:45 AM): Dido: "Whoah there, Walt! Let's. Not. Jump. The. Gun!"
wyverncakes 11:21 am
(11:21:54 AM): (Setsuko, Ken, Asagi, Walt)
tengusaur 11:22 am
(11:22:00 AM): Asagi: "...Let's ignore that suggestion."
(11:22:04 AM): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl 11:23 am
(11:23:44 AM): *Setsuko doesn't respond. Instead, the Virgola lands, and braces iself. Toby and Denzel - if they are real, they should recognize what she's doing, as her Carver charges up energy, her eyes narrow as she aims to capture both of them in the blast... which for now, is still being charged.&
Fri Freeman 11:23 am
(11:23:44 AM): Walt jumps sideways with shield upfront to defend himself against the Canis' attack, preparing to do the worst sacrifice... that is sacrificing the shield. and also trying to find a better ground to defend himself or whatever.+
(11:24:17 AM): Walt: "Also, my scientific experiment yield results. My shot in fact hit them, so they're definitely not ghost. One probability scratched!"
wyverncakes 11:24 am
(11:24:24 AM): [Dido] The last of the birds is thorned away by the ShelLancer, leaving just Canis models left!
(11:24:27 AM): (Speaking of which)
(11:25:07 AM): (Enemies: Virgola Unit 1 (Denzel), Virgola unit 2 (Toby), Canis x 6 (1 damaged))
Meraxa 11:25 am
(11:25:51 AM): Ken: Though I have to ask - why are you two trusting Asakim's words so much? Who'd he help you against? *Ken directs his words at the Glory Stars - but directs his blades against a nearby Canis unit or two!+
wyverncakes 11:25 am
(11:25:54 AM): [Walt] The bullets pelt your Genoace's shield, but fortunately bullets are just bullets, and Genoaces aren't *that* fragile. Your machine gets knocked on its rear end, but you're not that much worse off!
(11:27:30 AM): [Setsuko] "Chief, she's charging up like she's got-" "-Don't let her finish!" Unit 2 takes to the sky and starts surging down at the Glory, butt of the gun ready for smashing as the Virgola Unit 1 starts charging up its own Carver rifle!
(11:27:34 AM): (React/continue: Setsuko)
tengusaur 11:27 am
(11:27:47 AM): * Asagi rushes towards one of the Canises, ending the attack with a quick jump, and a downwards slash at the machine with Blue One's katana; followed up with a second, vertical swing. +
wyverncakes 11:28 am
(11:28:26 AM): Denzel: "And when a man saves you from anything, like giant crystal monsters and helps explain what just happened to you... you're willing to give a man the benefit of the doubt!"
(11:28:58 AM): "Even if his fashion sense is all just one color!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:29 am
(11:29:07 AM): Setsuko: "Giant crystal monsters..."
(11:29:28 AM): Setsuko: "He is tricking you into trusting him! Toby... you made a mistake!"
wyverncakes 11:29 am
(11:29:49 AM): [Ken] The Shotels crash into Carver blades, one Canis giving ground while the other instead kicks the ScarleTiger away and swings its gun forward to fire at you!
(11:29:52 AM): (React: Ken)
cubey@aol.pl 11:30 am
(11:30:14 AM): *The gathering of energy was not for a beam at all. As Virgola Two raises its weapon - Setsuko stabs the Glory Star towards its head, the gathered force turning into a stunning blow!
wyverncakes 11:30 am
(11:30:45 AM): Toby: "A mistake? We come here to check this place out, and that Rand guy shows up! And now you're here- GEH!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:30 am
(11:30:50 AM): *And then, using the same attack which is Toby's own specialty - a beam scythe forms at the Carver's end, and with a swipe, Setsuko slashes it down from the Virgola's head!
(11:30:57 AM): *... Away from the cockpit.+
Aldo Salt 11:31 am
(11:31:09 AM): Dido: "Denzel…In our world, the Asakim you've decided to trust murdered you and Toby! Right in front of our eyes! From our perspective, the person you're trusting can't be trusted!"
(11:31:18 AM): #Ken?
wyverncakes 11:31 am
(11:31:23 AM): (Go for it)
cubey@aol.pl 11:31 am
(11:31:30 AM): Setsuko: "Please bail out."
tormterra has left the room. 11:31 am
Aero 11:31 am
(11:31:35 AM): Willis: "Giant Crystal Monsters..."
Meraxa 11:32 am
(11:32:32 AM): Ken goes sliding back from the kick, and attempts rolling to the side to dodge the gunfire again - tossing out one of his blades as he does so to try and disarm his foe+
wyverncakes 11:32 am
(11:32:32 AM): [Setsuko] The Virgola Glory cross-counters, its Carver staggering Unit 2 and then cutting a huge chunk of the machine.
wyverncakes 11:32 am
(11:32:58 AM): Toby: "That's how I would've hit.... what a nightmare..."
Aldo Salt 11:33 am
(11:33:00 AM): *"Shell-Boost, On!" Shell-Lancer charges in and shoulder-tackles the Canis aiming at Ken! Dido follows up by skewering the bird with her Lance and lighting it up with lightning!+
wyverncakes 11:33 am
(11:33:05 AM): Denzel: "Toby! Eject!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:33 am
(11:33:39 AM): Setsuko: "This Virgola Glory holds your motion data. Just as I hold the memories of you..."
wyverncakes 11:33 am
(11:33:50 AM): Unit 1's cannon is charged, the Ray Straight Turret cutting across the battlefield at the Virgola Glory!
(11:34:11 AM): Fortunately Unit 2's cockpit does eject and is clear of the firing zone, but you're not Setsuko!
(11:34:14 AM): (React: Setsuko)
cubey@aol.pl 11:35 am
(11:35:08 AM): Setsuko: "Ah!"
Aldo Salt 11:35 am
(11:35:15 AM): "Listen to me, Denzel!" Dido shouts. "We're being set up! We're being set up to fight each other for the sake of some sadist's plans! Please…let's stand down and talk this out!"
wyverncakes 11:35 am
(11:35:37 AM): [Dido and Ken] The Virgola knock-off's shots narrowly miss as you slip out of the way, and in the aftermath it gets skewered by both your weapons and then fried with a healthy dose of electricity!
cubey@aol.pl 11:35 am
(11:35:48 AM): *She didn't consciously expect for Denzel to act so quickly... but unconsciously, she is already making a swerving dodge - in the same direction Toby escaped to.+
wyverncakes 11:36 am
(11:36:49 AM): [Asagi] Another of the Canises serves out of the way of your falling slash, but it makes the mistake of trying to draw its gun when you deliver your follow-up, cutting it in two!
wyverncakes 11:38 am
(11:38:09 AM): Denzel: "You bastards... you won't get away with doing that to the leiutenant! I'll take you down, Impostor!"
(11:38:14 AM): Your pleas fall on deaf ears.
(11:39:13 AM): [Setsuko] The energy blast surges past you, catching part of the damaged Virgola Unit 2 in the process. At least Toby's safe for the time being.
cubey@aol.pl 11:39 am
(11:39:27 AM): Setsuko: "Getting determined like that is very Chief-like too... ahh, that was close."
wyverncakes 11:39 am
(11:39:33 AM): (Skald, Dido, Elys, Willis)
(11:39:56 AM): (Walt can still take his turn)
VJockey 11:41 am
(11:41:05 AM): "With the birds gone... it is now time to settle accounts with the dogs!"
(11:41:08 AM): "have at you!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:41 am
(11:41:09 AM): Setsuko: "But... we've been through this kind of scenario dozens of times. As training, not in real battle..."
VJockey 11:41 am
(11:41:58 AM): *With that he opens fire with the railgun at a Canis as he rushes in to get even closer to strike as hard and fast as possible in a single swoop!+
Aldo Salt 11:42 am
(11:42:15 AM): *Dido takes aim at the remaining Canises, acquiring a target lock. "Arc Thorns…Launching!" Spikey rockets shoot out and bombard the No-Virgolas!+
(11:42:44 AM): Dido also scans the area to see where Toby's ejector pod landed. A dark idea occurs to her...
wyverncakes 11:43 am
(11:43:59 AM): [Skald and Dido] Railgun and thorns strike at the Canises, catching the one that Walt previously damaged and another as well... but others shoot down the thorns mid-flight and focus their gunfire on the ShelLancer!
(11:44:08 AM): No time for this idea of yours Dido, you got beams and bullets coming your way!
(11:44:10 AM): (React: Dido)
Fri Freeman 11:44 am
(11:44:22 AM): Walt: "Denzel-Prime, are you an idiot or what? You do know that you're not in your universe now right? What is Setsuko impostoring then? We've said that we also have Denzel and Toby here. Or used to. Since you're in our world now, doesn't that makes you the impostor?"
Atrament Corel 11:44 am
(11:44:40 AM): "Always nice to know that negotiating is off the table first..." *Elys engages a Canis after drawing Amagahara's twin swords. She swings twice- sending two white crescent energy blades that will immobilize if they make contact+
Fri Freeman 11:45 am
(11:45:49 AM): Walt: "Hm, What should we call our universe then. Earth Alpha? Earth Z? Earth UG? I'd call it Earth 1 But that's kinda presumptious isn't it?"
Aero 11:46 am
(11:46:02 AM): * "There's the opening." And with the Canis' firing on the others Willis charges a Canis after converting Quicksilver into a much larger greatsword, swinging the massive blade in a wide arc to hopefully catch the copies. +
Aldo Salt 11:46 am
(11:46:25 AM): *"Whoah-whoah-whoah…Shel-Lancer, Shell Up!" Dido changes Shell-Lancer into its low-slung, more thickly armor Turtle mode, then Shell-Boost away from the bullets like a Koopa shell!+
tengusaur 11:46 am
(11:46:41 AM): Asagi: "What kind of weird names are those?"
(11:46:55 AM): Asagi: "...Though I'm kinda partial to Blue Earth."
Fri Freeman 11:47 am
(11:47:20 AM): Walt: O"kay, since we've proven that they're not ghosts, Team, focus on moping out the small fries." Walt's team gather around him and start firing at the surviving Canis one by one+
Aero 11:47 am
(11:47:49 AM): Willis: "Can't we just call it our Earth."
VJockey 11:48 am
(11:48:08 AM): "Why not Midgard?"
(11:48:15 AM): [Viking cat is Viking]
Meraxa 11:48 am
(11:48:33 AM): Ken: How about we leave the debate to people qualified for that sort of decision?
wyverncakes 11:49 am
(11:49:27 AM): [Walt, Willis, Dido, and Elys] ShelLancer's heavy top-side takes a number of hits, leaving it pitted, burnt, and dented, but none of the remaining Canises get a chance to follow-up on the attacks as Elys's stunning efforts and Willis and Walt's shooting and slashing put all of them away. All that's left now is Denzel himself.
(11:49:55 AM): Denzel: "A lot of crazy talk from your friends here..."
Aldo Salt 11:49 am
(11:49:57 AM): "Technically, this is an entire universe, not just our planet," Dido points out. "How about "Universe Charlie?"
VJockey 11:50 am
(11:50:03 AM): "And who are such people present Kentaro Torao?"
wyverncakes 11:50 am
(11:50:11 AM): "You've all certainly had your time in the fire, but Toby and I are the Glory Star!"
(11:50:19 AM): "Wherever we fight, whomever we fight, we'll pull through!"
Aero 11:50 am
(11:50:22 AM): Willis: "I can't believe we're having this conversation right now..."
cubey@aol.pl 11:50 am
(11:50:22 AM): Setsuko: "Umm, yes, they tend to do that."
VJockey 11:50 am
(11:50:28 AM): "That is a horrible name Dido of Sybil! Perhaps something with more class!"
wyverncakes 11:50 am
(11:50:44 AM): The machine brandishes its Carver at all of you!
(11:50:46 AM): (Setsuko)
cubey@aol.pl 11:50 am
(11:50:46 AM): Setsuko: "But I ask you Chief, Toby is already out of the fight. Please stand down and let's talk this over."
Aldo Salt 11:51 am
(11:51:06 AM): Dido blows a raspberry at the cat…and tries scanning for Toby's location again. Is his ejector pod anywhere close?
wyverncakes 11:51 am
(11:51:25 AM): (Close by Setsuko, not by anyone else though unfortunately)
(11:51:53 AM): Denzel: "You really are an impostor if you think I'd fall for that."
cubey@aol.pl 11:52 am
(11:52:19 AM): Setsuko: "No..."
(11:52:29 AM): Setsuko: "Chief..."
(11:52:44 AM): *The Virgola starts moving forward...
Fri Freeman 11:52 am
(11:52:48 AM): Walt: "...Not this again"
(11:53:00 AM): Walt: "Come on, why don't you stop calling her impostor, impostor?"
cubey@aol.pl 11:53 am
(11:53:13 AM): Setsuko: "This is the power and skill Glory Star has reached."
Aldo Salt 11:53 am
(11:53:18 AM): "Hold on a sec, Denzel," Dido says. "Let's think this through. What possible motive could we have for pretending to have been your friends in this world? Walk us through your reasoning."
cubey@aol.pl 11:54 am
(11:54:03 AM): *After a few steps, it starts running - to take to the skies. From above, Setsuko aims the Nautilus Carver, and fires. She knows which directions Denzel could use to dodge. It's all in the data.
cubey@aol.pl 11:54 am
(11:54:34 AM): *So what follows is a rain of bullets in both of those locations, a rattling storm of powerful shots aimed at the other Virgola's limbs.+
VJockey 11:54 am
(11:54:59 AM): "Pfah... better to speak fo this matter to him when he is behind the bars of a cell and not actively trying to shoot to kill!"
wyverncakes 11:55 am
(11:55:46 AM): [Setsuko] Virgola Unit 1 does indeed juke away, trying to bring its gun up to return fire, only to suddenly have to get out of the way of Setsuko's shot! "That's where I would've told her to-" The blast catches Unit 1's leg, making the machine stumble.
(11:56:21 AM): And the flurry of shots that follow tear apart the machine's arms and other leg!
wyverncakes 11:56 am
(11:56:48 AM): The Virgola collapses in the middle of the camp, downed but intact. Its pilot safe.
cubey@aol.pl 11:57 am
(11:57:27 AM): Setsuko: "Okay. Can we talk now? Please?"
wyverncakes 11:57 am
(11:57:41 AM): The battle over, these alternate versions of Denzel and Toby alive in spite of them trying to kill you.
(11:57:45 AM): MISSION ACCOMPLi-
Aldo Salt 11:57 am
(11:57:46 AM): Dido starts moving towards the nearest Glory Star, hoping to be able to shield him from any unexpected attacks...
Atrament Corel 11:57 am
(11:57:51 AM): Elys lets out a huge sigh of relief there.
wyverncakes 11:57 am
(11:57:56 AM): "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
tengusaur 11:58 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:58 am

wyverncakes 11:58 am

VJockey 11:58 am

cubey@aol.pl 11:58 am

wyverncakes 11:58 am

tengusaur 11:58 am
(11:58:50 AM): Asagi: "You should be dead!"
wyverncakes 11:58 am
(11:58:51 AM): On top of a semi-distant plataeu stands...
cubey@aol.pl 11:59 am

Atrament Corel 11:59 am

cubey@aol.pl 12:00 pm

(12:00:36 PM): The Carver points at the black unit.
wyverncakes 12:00 pm
(12:00:41 PM): "Did you think yourself free of torment after that?"
Aldo Salt 12:00 pm

cubey@aol.pl 12:00 pm

wyverncakes 12:01 pm

(12:02:31 PM): "...?"
wyverncakes 12:02 pm

(12:03:33 PM): The machine's claws lunge out, spearing through all the birds in a single go.
Aldo Salt 12:03 pm
(12:03:37 PM): "We'll keep Toby, Denzel and ourselves alive!" Dido says to Denzel. "Focus on kicking butt…Setsuko!"
wyverncakes 12:03 pm

cubey@aol.pl 12:06 pm

tengusaur 12:06 pm

wyverncakes 12:07 pm
(12:07:37 PM): [Setsuko] The Shurouga doesn't counter, but instead focuses on evasion instead. Not a single shot hits, but Asakim is still wide open for other people to jump in and attack. And Lowen's moving in to land those hits!

Aldo Salt 12:58 pm

wyverncakes 12:58 pm
(12:58:46 PM): [Setsuko] Your thrusters strain against the dastardly power of WIND... but that is unfortunately not all that the Chaos Anguis is bringing to the table as its beam rifle -now affixed to its body- turns and fires at you! The Anguis's head gets blasted by your own shots, but the Anguis's shots connect too, blowing away the Virgola Glory's own head!

(1:10:57 PM): "Let's see, that other lady named 'Jen Douglas' left you a few weeks ago."
wyverncakes 1:11 pm

Atrament Corel 1:18 pm

wyverncakes 1:20 pm

Amagahara though... gets suddenly bound from head to foot in the cables. "Aww, Elys. How heroic of you. Wanting to share their pain in the most literal way possible!"
VJockey 1:20 pm

The entire swarm of nanomachines swirls around Strahlend forming countless tiny blades to rip apart any wires that got in his way. Without any hesitation he aims directly for the cockpit of Strahlend's sister machine. Aiming to kill immediately. +

wyverncakes 1:40 pm
(1:40:15 PM): [Setsuko] The Glory Star hits right into the Durandal's back, furthering the damage Rand inflicted previously! "Geh... no freaking fair!" The machine turns around even as the blast is pounding into it, compiling the damage as it swipes at the Virgola!

Meraxa 1:40 pm

cubey@aol.pl 1:42 pm
(1:42:06 PM): *Setsuko ducks under the swipe, trying to use the enemy's size to her advantage. The Virgola's pistol is aiming up, firing repeatedly at the offending enemy limb.+
wyverncakes 1:42 pm
(1:42:44 PM): [Skald and Willis] The Iris falls back and spirals around the shots and slashes sent Jennifer's way. What few hits that connect are so minor that brief nanomachine repair jobs undo the damage. But Jennifer, well... "Well now Willis! This is a surprise! Trying to kill without delay just like our time at Aegis!"
Aldo Salt 1:42 pm
(1:42:55 PM): *While Durandal's swiping at the Virgola, the damaged ShelLancer crouches. "Shell…Boost." ShelLancer closes the distance, braking to a stop right behind Durandal. Dido slams a fist down on her panic button. "Shell…Flak." Durandal gets a mine-field to the back.+

tengusaur 1:43 pm
(1:43:03 PM): Asagi: "We need to push them all away. We're not going to lose anyone else today...!" Blue One fires a few missiles in Chaos Leo's direction - and when they explode around it, causing smoke to raise up, the AHSMB uses it as cover in order to suddenly lunge forward, aiming to stab right at the enemy's chest with its spear, and then swing widely to extend the wound! +
Aldo Salt 1:43 pm
(1:43:45 PM): Dido: "You mentioned…backstabbing…Michael?"
wyverncakes 1:45 pm
(1:45:01 PM): [Setsuko and Dido] Your two-pronged attack piles on the damage further, the Durandal's repairjobs seeming to slow. Its sword strike also misses Setsuko entirely, but the shockwaves from it hitting the ground stagger both of you extensively!
cubey@aol.pl 1:45 pm

So it's only when bad things happen to YOUR teammates you feel any concern, is it? I'm not surprised!" The Capra's spear plunges into the ground ahead of it, abosrbing the shock before it flings its leg up and tosses the ScarleTiger into the air... a perfect target as it fires energy blasts from its hands at you!

wyverncakes 1:50 pm
(1:50:41 PM): [Asagi] The missiles don't phase Lowen much as he skirts around them, but the lunge does catch him by surprise! "Lose anyone else? The dumb bitch ran to her own death just now! How'd she even survive walkng down a flight of stairs, or was she so rich and lazy she just hire someone to carry her like she owned him?!?" The Leo gets a wound in its body, but it grabs hold of the spear and spins around, flinging Blue ONe to the ground before crashing down again with claws plunging towards your cockpit!

Aldo Salt 1:51 pm
(1:51:52 PM): *"You've got yourself a to-kill list?" Dido scoffs at Michael. "Nerd! " ShelLancer transforms into the low-slung, sturdy Turtle Mode, then Shell-Boosts forward, trying to trip Durandal off it's feet!+
Meraxa 1:52 pm
(1:52:01 PM): Ken: At least we don't use people like you do! Shiranui... *It'll be quicker than most, and so not quite as powerful, but...* RETSU KEN! *The charged fist of sol energy is sent flying downwards to meet the Capra's own attacks!+
tengusaur 1:52 pm
(1:52:41 PM): Asagi: "Shut up." He prepares his spear, ready for Lowen to get close, then thrusts it right at the Chaos Leo, trying to use the leverage and the opponent's force of impact to knock him away and get Blue One back on its feet in one single move! +
(1:53:16 PM): Asagi: "You're the one runing to your death right now!"
wyverncakes 1:54 pm
(1:54:27 PM): [Dido] The ShelLancer's nowhere near as tall as the Durandal when in Turtle Mode unfortunately, and when you crash into the machine's leg it just... budges a bit. But then it raises its foot up and brings it crashing down! "Deaaaaaad!" Michael calls out in the same kind of tone Dido was using. It caves in the ShelLancer's shell entirely from the first stomp, alarms going off inside of the machine! A quick shift of its feet, and it swings its sword at you to finish the job once and for all!

Aldo Salt 1:56 pm
(1:56:03 PM): *"ShelLancer…Stand Up!" Dido shifts back into humanoid mode…using the momentum from the transformation to swing her lance up at Durandal's blade…then electrify it!+
wyverncakes 1:56 pm
(1:56:20 PM): [Ken] The Sol energy crashed into the more generic blasts of the Chaos Capra's... powering through them. "What-" the fist smashes into the Chaos Capra's body clean through... you didn't hit anything critical but the two of you fall to the ground as the Capra's spear dissapates, each of you rolling in an opposite direction.
Aero 1:56 pm
(1:56:43 PM): * "I have no love for you." The array of blades continues to swirl around Strahlend as he chases after Iris, this time he swings Quicksilver in a huge arc to catch her even if she tried to evade. He knew her weaknesses, being this up close in combat was not her forte. +
wyverncakes 1:57 pm
(1:57:39 PM): "... You don't even remember me do you?"
(1:58:11 PM): "That other woman even thought we came across the Canis units by just stealing them off the dead... as if even...!"
wyverncakes 2:00 pm
(2:00:08 PM): [Setsuko and Dido] ShelLancer creaks painfully from the transformation... it'd be best to not try shifting modes any more after this Dido. But your two weapons meet Durandal's, stopping it even as your machines tremble from the force. The electricity that flows into it though does cause more sparking, and minor explosions across the machine as it stumbles back!
wyverncakes 2:02 pm
(2:02:13 PM): [Asagi] You impale the Chaos Leo a second time, being knocked backwards and sent skidding across the battlefield. But you're still on your feet! Lowen doesn't share your happiness though as his machine claws through the shaft of your spear and pulls the rest of it out of his machine, with a big sparking hole where it'd been.
(2:04:06 PM): [Willis] "But I still care about you soooooo much!" Jennifer pouted. Your blade swings up into the Iris's arm, but more cables spray out from her other, piercing into your sword arm and suddenly start... pulling. With a loud cracking noise Quicksilver cuts through Iris's limb, but now it's suddenly plunging towards you Willis!

VJockey 2:09 pm

cubey@aol.pl 2:09 pm

tengusaur 2:09 pm
(2:09:28 PM): Asagi: "We should get Toby and Denzel out of here." He throws the useless remains of the spear in Lowen's direction, then quickly fires a blast from his beam cannon at him while he's distracted by it. "...And Elys. What remains of her." +
Fri Freeman 2:09 pm
(2:09:40 PM): Walt is there in the background, shooting at mooks from covers all these time.+
Meraxa 2:10 pm
(2:10:27 PM): Ken: Almost... done. *ScarleTiger is forced to its feet, whip still in hand. It barely moves anything but its arm, lashing its fiery length repeatedly towards the fallen Capra.+
wyverncakes 2:11 pm
(2:11:34 PM): [Walt and co.] Fortunately there aren't many mooks left and they put up much less fight than their piloted versions. The Genoace team adds to their kill count quite admierably.
Aero 2:12 pm
(2:12:05 PM): * "You should know better than that." Even if she had control of his right arm the nanomachines that made up Quicksilver were still under his control. The weapon breaks apart into yet another huge swarm of nanomachines right in Jen's face. They reform into several metallic stakes that are all directed to drive themselves into Iris' chest. Where the cockpit of the machine was stored. +
wyverncakes 2:13 pm
(2:13:53 PM): [Setsuko] The first few shots begin to stagger the Durandal, but as the barrage continues the Nanomachines and the armor are clearly starting to be overwhelmed. But the machine still tries to power through and charges at the Virgola. "Like hell am I-" "P-PAIN SHOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!" Michael's cut off by the agonized scream of pain from Rand and then the Gunleon lends its own destructive wave of energy to the Virgola's attack, and the gigantic machine is sent flying away!
wyverncakes 2:16 pm
(2:16:43 PM): [Skald and Willis] Quicksilver's components move in for the kill, but the Iris turns as they sink into its frame... only tearing apart the topmost levels... and then going on to strike Skald's Guarlion as well! "Oh dear... here I am topless and you're now saying a cat is fine too? Of all the nerve Willis!" The damaged Iris drops down but its cables stay up, breaking off from Strahlend and instead stabbing into the Guarlion instead!
(2:17:10 PM): Skald, alarms go off of an outside force taking control of your machine's systems... and suddenly before you know it YOU'RE stabbing at the Strahlend instead!

wyverncakes 2:18 pm

wyverncakes 2:18 pm

Atrament Corel 2:19 pm

wyverncakes 2:22 pm
(2:22:31 PM): [Ken] The whip swings out, and the Capra curls up with its wings -getting the lot of them ruined in the process- to try to defend against your strikes until its hand suddenly reaches out, snatching the weapon! "Sorry, but I'm not dying here. As nice as it would be to see all of my friends again... there's better ways to be freed from the past!" Pulling Ken in close Xine has her machine deliver a swift backhand that knocks the ScarleTiger away, and then another harsh thrust kick to send you flying!
wyverncakes 2:24 pm
(2:24:43 PM): [Willis and Elys?] "What the-" Jennifer doesn't realize what's happening until it's too late. The power of the swords tears through her cables, rending the front end of the Iris even more thoroughly. And with the cables freed, the Guarlion just... harmlessly bumps into the Strahlend instead.

Aldo Salt 2:29 pm

The Sol Machines rears back…then throws the Arc Thorn like a dagger into the Durandal's gut. "Sorry about this, Michael…well, not really." Dido levels her mech's big lance. "Lance Shock…discharging!" A lightning bolt leaps from her lance to the sole Arc Thorn she threw.+

(2:30:01 PM): "There shouldn't have been enough of her left for a thimble!"
VJockey 2:30 pm
(2:30:03 PM): "Willis of Clades do you see where the attack that had assisted had come from? I am currently distracted wreaking my terrible vengeance!"
Atrament Corel 2:30 pm
(2:30:07 PM): *right hand
tengusaur 2:30 pm
(2:30:38 PM): Asagi: "...You're still alive?"
VJockey 2:30 pm
(2:30:44 PM): *Skald is now returning to his ferocious assault on the Iris and attempting to cut open the machine even more!+
Aero 2:30 pm
(2:30:50 PM): Willis: "...Elys?"
(2:31:12 PM): That was both directed at Skald's question and something muttered in confusion.
Atrament Corel 2:31 pm
(2:31:24 PM): *Arrows that are quickly nocked and aimed at Iris once again! It fires, sending a volley of blades at the Aegis machine!+
Atrament Corel 2:31 pm
(2:31:56 PM): As for Elys herself, there is no response. Almost as if the machine is operating independently...
wyverncakes 2:31 pm
(2:31:59 PM): [Dido] Your thorn hurls through the air lime some poor man's rocket punch, but the damaged Durandal still has a fallback option! It swings around, blocking with a shield! The lightning bolt-triggered explosion rocks the machine... but it's still functioning...
tengusaur 2:32 pm
(2:32:15 PM): Asagi: "..."
wyverncakes 2:33 pm
(2:33:20 PM): [Elys] The Iris focuses entirely on evasion now, flying and trying to weave through the volley of blades. It's somewhat successful, but it's being pushed back further and further. "Oh I hate to just show up and then run but perhaps a retreat would be in order here!"
(2:33:53 PM): Lowne; "Just like a cowardly two-timer to run away once she's had her fun, huh?"
wyverncakes 2:34 pm
(2:34:17 PM): Shuran: "... Perhaps, but our primary goal here was long-since achieved."
(2:34:52 PM): "Staying here would only danger our lives."
cubey@aol.pl 2:35 pm
(2:35:39 PM): Setsuko: "..."
(2:35:50 PM): The Virgola seems to slump down a little now.
(2:35:56 PM): Setsuko: "Gh... aah..."
tengusaur 2:39 pm
(2:39:19 PM): Asagi: "Setsuko? Something is going on again..."
Aero 2:39 pm
(2:39:26 PM): * That was just the opening he needed, with his spears still embedded into Iris he gives a simple command to the spears, transforming them all into several hundred wires that begin to weave through the U.I.I.N Machine. Without another word he reforms Quicksilver, this time in the form of a spear-like sword and begins to stab at the cockpit...over and over and over again. +
wyverncakes 2:39 pm
(2:39:37 PM): [Skald] And with the damaged it's already sustained, the Iris isn't able to get away in time as its attacks bite deep into the machine...
(2:40:15 PM): [Willis] Which is frankly nothing compared to the brutal assault Willis inflicts on the Iris... accompanied by bemused but pained laughter from Jennifer...
cubey@aol.pl 2:40 pm
(2:40:22 PM): Setsuko: "I can't do it... a..."
(2:40:26 PM): She breathes heavily.
wyverncakes 2:40 pm
(2:40:41 PM): Strahlend's sword is a bloody mess before long... but then the Chaos Anguis's beams hit home.
cubey@aol.pl 2:40 pm
(2:40:46 PM): Setsuko: "... What. What is going on?"
wyverncakes 2:41 pm
(2:41:00 PM): The Strahlend's knocked away, the Iris falling to the ground, still on its feet!
cubey@aol.pl 2:41 pm
(2:41:15 PM): Setsuko: "No, what just happened?"
cubey@aol.pl 2:41 pm
(2:41:33 PM): Setsuko: "..."
wyverncakes 2:41 pm
(2:41:41 PM): Shuran: "Enough of this, we'll have other times to settle this with them all."
cubey@aol.pl 2:41 pm
(2:41:55 PM): The battlefield paints a grim picture for her, now that she can actually perceive it.
wyverncakes 2:42 pm
(2:42:29 PM): There's a begruding silence as the other pilots all silently agree... all of them moving back and meeting up with the Chaos Anguis as it stands guard.
tengusaur 2:42 pm
(2:42:42 PM): Asagi: "You were in some kind of trance. One where you couldn't hear or see anything..."
(2:42:52 PM): Asagi: "...And I don't know what's going on with Elys."
wyverncakes 2:42 pm
(2:42:58 PM): Lowen: "... We'll kill all of you next time... but there's one good thing to come from this though!"
wyverncakes 2:43 pm
(2:43:34 PM): "You'll all get to hear Brigadier General Edel finally lay out her plans for everything!"
(2:44:04 PM): "The world the way it should be run, by her and nobody else!"
cubey@aol.pl 2:44 pm
(2:44:13 PM): Setsuko: "What? What are you... ah!"
(2:44:19 PM): Setsuko: "Willis! Elys?!"
wyverncakes 2:44 pm
(2:44:33 PM): Shuran: "Until then though-"
(2:44:40 PM): Xine: "This isn't over!"
(2:45:04 PM): The Chaos Capra raises a finger again, summoning down another massive blast of lightning... not aimed at any of you but to strike the middle of the battlefield between your two groups!
(2:45:23 PM): And when the blinding light's gone and the dust settles, the machines have disappeared.
wyverncakes 2:45 pm
(2:45:49 PM): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Aldo Salt 2:46 pm
(2:46:05 PM): "…damn!" Dido starts searching for the cockpits of Alt-Denzel and Alt-Toby. Are they still intact?
wyverncakes 2:46 pm
(2:46:29 PM): Fortunately Dido... they are.
(2:46:36 PM): With stable life signs from both.
cubey@aol.pl 2:46 pm
(2:46:39 PM): Setsuko: "This is bad. I didn't know what to expect... but it was..."
VJockey 2:46 pm
(2:46:45 PM): "Mrrr.... what now then?"
Aero 2:47 pm
(2:47:00 PM): Willis moves over towards Amagahara, not bothering to clean Jen's blood from his blade.
tengusaur 2:47 pm
(2:47:38 PM): Asagi: "Someone needs to talk to Toby and Denzel. But first..." He looks towards Amagahara.
Atrament Corel 2:48 pm
(2:48:08 PM): The wrecked machine just sort of...hangs there.
(2:48:16 PM): Most of its abdomen is still missing.
Aldo Salt 2:48 pm
(2:48:57 PM): Dido sighs in relief. "They're okay, Setsuko." She says. "Whoever they are, they're okay."
Aero 2:49 pm
(2:49:04 PM): Willis: "Elys...is that you?"

Atrament Corel 2:49 pm
(2:49:35 PM): That question earns Willis a nod.
