Mission 135 - Royal Rumble

[srwu_mods]

tengusaur (17:08:54): The wedding ceremony between princess Peola Nelfess and Kliiment Haanradts is in progress.
tengusaur (17:09:32): The ceremony takes place on the huge deck of the king's majestic airship. A huge crowd of guests is present, watching intently.
tengusaur (17:10:36): The ship is floating right above the island where the pre-wedding party took place.
tengusaur (17:10:47): The groom looks extremely smug and pleased with himself. Finally, after all that happened, he managed to win the princess' hand.
VJockey (17:12:25): [Peola on the other hand was doing her best to remain composed. However just being this close to Kliiment's sheer aura of smug satisfaction meant it was hard not to look very sour indeed.]
tengusaur (17:12:38): The one running the ceremony is king Unathi Nelfess himself. And he's nearly done.
tengusaur (17:13:00): King Nelfess: "If there are any who object to the union between the the two bright souls who stand before me, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:13:45): #Peola?
Peter Kampschroeder (17:13:59): Eva is trying to kill the groom by staring at him. It doesn't seem to be working.
tengusaur (17:14:31): Suddenly, the huge door leading to the rest of the ship is flung open with great force!
VJockey (17:15:28): "Wha-?!"
tengusaur (17:15:41): Most of the guests are surprised by this loud and sudden spectacle and look in its direction! So does the king!
VJockey (17:15:46): [Peola is rapidly turning to the source of the sound.]
tengusaur (17:15:50): King Nelfess: "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS INTERRUPTION?!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:17:02): "Are we in a movie now? Is this a movie? Well... I don't mind it!" Brye leaps up from her seat, looking excited at this development.
tengusaur (17:17:22): A large Regalis enters through the door.
tengusaur (17:17:42): Regalis Faber
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=657217
tengusaur (17:17:54): Harunn: "Yes, I happen to have an objection..."
tengusaur (17:17:58): Harunn: "...Father."
VJockey (17:18:00): "That Regalis-"
VJockey (17:18:05): "Harunn!"
VJockey (17:18:28): [If he was here... if he could use the Regalis like that... then that meant-!!!]
tengusaur (17:18:48): Kliiment: "What! What is the meaning of this? Who do you think you are?!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:19:39): Brye: "Same question to you. Looks like a more worthy... err."
cubey@aol.pl (17:19:52): She really hopes it won't be what she's thinking about now.
VJockey (17:20:17): [Peola's face goes from surprise to a downright feral grin as she grabs Kliiment by the shoulder to forcefully turn him around and deliver one hell of a punch across the face!]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:20:18): Dido, strangely absent from the chapel, strolls in behind Harunn…riding a hastily repaired ShelLancer, its cockpit open! "Peola's friends!" She shouts back. "And that's all you deserve to know!"
Aero (17:20:42): Rani: "I feel like we missed something..."
tengusaur (17:21:01): Kliiment seriously didn't expect that! Peola's sudden sucker punch floors him!
tengusaur (17:21:13): Ourania: "Ooh... Nice one, sister~"
tengusaur (17:21:27): A third mech enters through the door.
tengusaur (17:21:28): Regalis Atrox
http://www.titanatelier.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/15154167_p0.png
Peter Kampschroeder (17:22:04): Eva looks around in bewilderment. "Eh? What's...eh?"
tengusaur (17:22:42): Haruun: "I am prince Haruun Nelfess. You don't have to be worried, I'm not that kind of prince." That last sentence was directed at Brye.
cubey@aol.pl (17:23:08): Brye: "That's a relief! Either way, this farce is now cancelled, so let's go home."
VJockey (17:23:11): "... Ourania... you know... I figured you'd try to ruin my wedding... I'm not complaining though!"
tengusaur (17:23:44): Ourania: "Am I that predictable? Heh, guess I'll have to work on that!"
VJockey (17:23:52): [Both her siblings as well as her friends are here. With this she turned to give her father a rebellious smirk as if to say 'What now?']
tengusaur (17:25:45): Haruun: "Father, as you can see, I'm standing before you on my own feet. Foot, to be precise, but it does not change the fact that I am more than capable of inheriting the throne. This charade is no longer necessary; why did you think that it's a good idea to marry Peola to a man she loathes? Did you really think this will keep her out of trouble and away from constantly getting into fights?"
tengusaur (17:25:55): King Nelfess: "...You..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:27:02): "Either you have no faith in your children," Dido points out. "Or you've descended to the same treachery as the criminal Phannuel. Which is it, King?"
tengusaur (17:27:18): Haruun: "You know better than that won't happen, father. There is no point to this ceremony. I'm sorry, everyone who has gathered, but it's time to cancel it."
tengusaur (17:27:46): King Nelfess: "YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BRAT! DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ME WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR SISTER?!"
VJockey (17:28:24): "WELL HE ACTUALLY LISTENS WHEN I TALK TO HIM FOR ONE!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:28:36): Brye: "How about Peola herself having a call in this matter? It's not that it's something that will change the rest of her life or anything!"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:29:01): Eva: "R-right! People should get to choose their partners!"
Aero (17:29:18): Rani winces a bit at the sudden outroar. "That's how it should be..."
tengusaur (17:29:28): Haruun: "See? I think that speaks volumes. We're here to challenge your decision, father."
tengusaur (17:29:38): Haruun: "What do you say?"
tengusaur (17:29:45): King Nelfess: "Grrr..."
tengusaur (17:30:15): Energy starts to gather around the king as he literally fumes from anger. The nearby guests, seeing this, quickly move away, as if knowing what's going to happen.
Aero (17:30:41): Rani: "This pressure..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:30:57): Brye: "I think he might be a bit angry..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:31:03): Dido flashbacks to the killing aura of Serak, and palms a can of pepper spray.
tengusaur (17:31:06): And then, suddenly, a gigantic, over 60 meter tall Regalis materializes!
tengusaur (17:31:10): Regalis Imperator
http://www.titanatelier.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/16240235.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (17:31:11): She tries to sound like she's joking but the sensation hits her pretty hard.
tengusaur (17:31:35): A burst of power emanates from Regalis Imperator as it roars!
tengusaur (17:32:10): King Nelfess: "FOOLISH CHILDREN! I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!"
tengusaur (17:32:17): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
Peter Kampschroeder (17:32:35): Eva: "ghk..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:34:32): Brye: "Kya!" Trying to shield herself with her arms as the roar causes her surroundings to shake. Or maybe it's just Brye's stance.
tengusaur (17:35:03): Kliiment climbs back on his feet, looking noticably less smug. "Peola! Come back here this instant!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:35:07): Sweat drips down Dido's nose. "Br–" She stammers. "Bring it, oh King!"
VJockey (17:35:13): [This pressure... she wasn't going to give in! Not when freedom from this stupidity is so close to her grasp! Regalis Filia was on the ship as well... which meant...]
VJockey (17:35:25): "Dream on Kliiment!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:36:25): Brye: "He has a bad temper, too. But we won't give up just because of that, right?"
tengusaur (17:36:35): Kliiment: "I... I won't stand for this humiliation!"
tengusaur (17:37:09): King Nelfess: "Then fight on my side, Kliiment Haanradts!"
tengusaur (17:37:46): Kliiment: "Hrm, I planned to do this before you asked, your majesty." Looks like a bit of his smugness returns.
VJockey (17:38:29): [A shimmer of blue ran across her hair as she focused and called. There was a tremendous thump from another end of the ship as the Regalis Filia joined its sibling machines from above. Peola loading up and popping her knuckles in eagerness as her machina does the same.]
tengusaur (17:38:41): King Nelfess: "What about you? If anyone thinks it's a good idea to stand up for my foolish son and fight on his side, speak up now!"
Aero (17:38:55): Rani: "We should get to the Grungust Brye..."
Wyverncakes (17:39:08): ???: "HOOOOOOLD IIIIIIIIIT!!!!"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:39:19): Eva: "...I...I'll fight too!"
Wyverncakes (17:39:34): "I object to this wedding!"
Wyverncakes (17:39:58): Another machine is moving in...
Wyverncakes (17:40:11): "I don't care if it's past the point of objecting, I'm objecting anyways!"
tengusaur (17:40:21): King Nelfess: "..."
VJockey (17:40:23): "Ana!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:40:36): Brye: "Yes! Excuse us for a second!"
Wyverncakes (17:40:55): The machine: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=43532499
Wyverncakes (17:41:06): And the cockpit opens up to reveal Ana there, glaring at the King!
cubey@aol.pl (17:41:13): Time to run off, but not too far away.
tengusaur (17:41:35): Kliiment: "What is this ridiculousness? Stop slacking off and bring Arma Summas here faster!" The last sentence was shouted into some kind of communicator.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:43:48): Dido leans out of her cockpit. "Welcome to the party, Ana!" She shouts. "…I think we're gonna get punched a bunch…"
Peter Kampschroeder (17:43:55): Eva runs into the largest open area she can find, trying to avoid guests-and clenches her fist close to her chest. There's a pillar of green light and a *thwump* sound, as the blue Tern teleports onto the field.
tengusaur (17:44:06): From among the guests, a man raises and walks to the front. A man some of you might find familiar.
tengusaur (17:44:50): Cennetig: "This wedding is a dishonorable sham. Aff, I shall fight on the side of Peola and her brother!"
Aero (17:44:58): Rani: "It's kind of embarassing to have to run out then run back in with out machine..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:45:17): Brye: "Well then, let's make our entrance a worthwhile one!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:46:09): In the darkness, a pair of bright green eyes lights up. With a permanent frown on its face, a super robot enters the hall after grabbing the side of the door with its massive hand.
tengusaur (17:46:16): Ourania: "Well, look at that. So many people want to fight for your cause! Aren't you happy, sis?"
Aero (17:46:41): Rani: "I just wish we had time to change out of these dresses...should we really be piloting like this..."
cubey@aol.pl (17:46:54): Brye: "Sorry to have kept you waiting! You're not fighting yet, are you?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:47:00): Dido: "We're gonna need a bigger battlefield…"
cubey@aol.pl (17:47:22): Brye: "It's okay. And... it looks nice on you, anyway..."
VJockey (17:47:41): "Fighting in a wedding dress is a first for me... any advice?"
tengusaur (17:48:07): Ourania: "Maybe I should just step aside and watch? Nah, kidding! I'll support you as well."
tengusaur (17:48:27): More units arrive on the deck, entering through the main door.
Aero (17:48:29): Rani: "I...thanks..."
tengusaur (17:48:35): Arma Custos
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1206860
tengusaur (17:48:40): Several of these.
tengusaur (17:48:54): King Nelfess: "My royal guard, to me! Fight by my side!"
tengusaur (17:49:19): Also, a group of Kliiment's henchmen show up with their own mecha, also bringing his own unit with them.
tengusaur (17:49:25): Arma Summas
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1211543

Arma Miles
http://s1236.photobucket.com/user/pileofrobots/media/16897007_m.png.html
tengusaur (17:49:44): Kliiment: "Finally, took you long enough."
tengusaur (17:50:04): Kliiment: "If you think this wedding is cancelled yet, you are going ahead of yourselves."
Aero (17:50:13): Rani: "They took some time to gather their forces also...so maybe it wasn't so bad."
tengusaur (17:50:32): Cennetig brings his own unit as well, brandishing lots and lots of lasers.
tengusaur (17:50:33): Harbringer
http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=342637
cubey@aol.pl (17:50:34): Brye: "I think you should know the meaning of someone saying no!"
cubey@aol.pl (17:50:45): Brye: "Let's flatten this guy's red unit like a pancake, okay Rani?"
tengusaur (17:50:54): Cennetig: "All systems ready for battle."
VJockey (17:50:58): "I'm looking forward to punching out all that hot air from your stupid face!"
tengusaur (17:51:25): The guests clear the area, moving to its sides. Since the king's ship is huge, this means there's a lot of deck for all of you to fight on.
tengusaur (17:51:42): Your opponents line up on its opposite side.
Aero (17:52:25): Rani: "Yeah, we'll show them how strong we all are."
tengusaur (17:53:18): Haruun: "Quite a brawl, isn't it. Remember, since this is an official challenge, we're not fighting to the death. At the same time, you don't need to worry about holding back; my father might be old, but he's the king not without a reason. And his royal guard were hand-picked not without a reason, either."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:53:45): Dido eyes Cennetig's mech. "With that many lasers…aren't you going to overheat?"
tengusaur (17:54:41): Cennetig: "When used correctly, by a warrior used to their abilities? Neg."
tengusaur (17:54:51): He sounds a bit too confident in himself about this.
VJockey (17:56:01): "He'll be fine Dido. Besides... we'll be watching each other's backs anyway right?"
tengusaur (17:56:14): King Nelfess: "Are you done? Let the challenge commence! I will teach you the hard way how big is mistake you made!"
tengusaur (17:56:17): Enemy List: Regalis Imperator (King Unathi Nelfess), Arma Custos x10, Arma Summas (Kliiment), Arma Miles x15

Allies: Regalis Faber (Prince Harunn), Regalis Atrox (Ourania), Harbinger (Cennetig)

Initiative: Peola, Eva, Dido, Ana, Brye & Rani
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:56:23): "Aff, I suppose," Dido mutters.
tengusaur (17:56:25): (Peola, Eva, Dido, go)
tengusaur (17:56:33): (allies available for supports)
Peter Kampschroeder (17:57:45): (Is the deck open to the air, or enclosed?)
tengusaur (17:58:10): (open)
VJockey (17:58:23): *Peola lets out a warcry, the Regalis Filia moving to quickly push through the Arma Custos lines with a shoulder charge!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (17:59:47): *"Welcome to Earth, nobles of Magnolys!" Dido shouts, sealing her cockpit. "Let me roll out the welcome mat!" Dido forms a barrier between the brunt of the enemy forces and the ranged units on her side, by launching a volley of Arc Thorns that land in minefield rows ahead of her! As the enemy charges in, Dido electrifies the ground they're walking through with a Lance Shock!+
Peter Kampschroeder (17:59:52): *Eva's Tern takes to the skies above the airship, and immediately fires a whole host of beamspam towards Arma Custos and it's support units.+
tengusaur (17:59:53): Seeing Peola approach, the Custoses create energy shields and use them to form a shield wall! She slams into their formation, damaging three of them, but they're barely pushed away, and then counter by quickly slashing with their heat swords! (react)
tengusaur (18:01:15): (you sure you got the enemies right Eva?)
tengusaur (18:01:54): (target preference Dido?)
VJockey (18:02:02): *Peola takes a single step back, Regalis Filia's fists charged with ki before letting loose with a barrage of devastating punches to parry the blades!+
Peter Kampschroeder (18:02:12): (Summas and his units, sorry)
tengusaur (18:02:16): (ah, righto)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:02:38): (The Mooks and the Regalis Imperator, if possible.)
tengusaur (18:03:41): Eva's shots dismember and/or disable three of the Arma Mileses and take them out of the fight! Several more of the formation jumps to the sides to avoid the incoming fire...
tengusaur (18:04:58): Kliiment: "What kind of performance is that? What do I pay you for? Cover me!" Two of his mooks start firing a few beam shots in Eva's direction, while his own Arma launches towards the Tern, and while it takes a few grazing shots, it's getting close and about to stab at it with its sword! (react)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:05:19): #Eva?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:05:40): #Using Ourania?
tengusaur (18:05:48): (sure)
tengusaur (18:06:11): Peola manages to fend off the blades. What helps is that Dido electrifies the ground, which overcharges one of the Custoses and makes it topple over, smoking. As for another one...
tengusaur (18:06:21): Haruun: "Wind Blade!"
tengusaur (18:06:45): He swings his sword, sending a strong cutting wave that cuts off the damaged Custos' arms off!
tengusaur (18:07:49): The king's unit doesn't seem to care much about Dido's attack, however. The electric currents climb on it, but they don't seem to do any real damage!
Peter Kampschroeder (18:08:39): *"People aren't things to be bought!" The Tern's own sword flips into position, and it matches Kliiment's charge with one of its own.+
tengusaur (18:09:39): King Nelfes: "Is that really the best you have? Thane's Gaze!" Energy starts to load in his Regalis' eyes, both on the chest-mounted lion-like head and the actual head at the top, and a barrage of powerful beams flies from them into Dido's direction! (react)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:09:51): Dido: "Ooh girl, that's not good...!"
tengusaur (18:09:57): (Brie/Rani and Ana can move)
cubey@aol.pl (18:10:57): Brye: "No, we're just getting warmed up!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:10:59): # Dido
tengusaur (18:11:06): (approved)
tengusaur (18:11:11): Eva's sword clashes with Kliiment's blade... And then is suddenly joined by a giant energy axe, instantly created and then wielded by Regalis Atrox!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:11:16): *"Shell-Boost…and Thorn Barrier!" As the Imperator's head glows, Dido rocket-skies left, then launches an electrified spiral formation of Arc Thorns ahead of her to diffuse some of the beam blast!+
tengusaur (18:11:25): Kliiment is pushed away!
cubey@aol.pl (18:11:32): *The Grungust steps forward, its mighty forearm raised in a block to intercept the beams - and the TK Field forming around it in a thick barrier.+
tengusaur (18:11:37): Ourania's unit lands on the ground heavily, its axe disappearing.
Aero (18:11:50): Rani: "Concentrate...and create the image of a barrier..."
tengusaur (18:12:05): Ourania: "I don't know about you, but this guy was always the lowest on my ranking."
VJockey (18:13:11): "Is it his attitude, his strength or both?"
tengusaur (18:13:19): Dido quickly evades, sending her shots to dissuade the incoming beams... But they still hit hard into the barrier protecting ShelLancer and the Grungust!
tengusaur (18:13:24): Nevertheless, the barrier holds.
VJockey (18:13:29): "Because if its both I agree there!"
Wyverncakes (18:13:42): * The blue machine's large thruster pack flares to life and it begins to spin around the King's Regalis, lining up its target! "You really do have a lot of nerve!" Beams shoot off, aimed at the machine's hands! "Even my family's stopped doing the forced arranged marriage thing!"+
cubey@aol.pl (18:13:44): Brye: "Okay... and now... reverse!"
tengusaur (18:14:18): Ourania: "You forgot to mention body odor, sis~"
tengusaur (18:14:30): Kliiment: "Excuse me?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:15:28): "Nice barrier, Rani!" ShelLancer gives a mecha thumbs up!
cubey@aol.pl (18:16:30): The forearm that intercepted the beams start to fire up as its thrusters start, and...
tengusaur (18:16:38): Ana's beams shoot at the Regalis Imperator's hands, causing small explosions on them. But the damage is light, for the machine is really tough.
cubey@aol.pl (18:16:40): (Rani will handle the action)
tengusaur (18:17:37): King Nelfess: "Do you really think a young, foolish child knows better what's best for her than her old, experienced father? Ridiculous!"
tengusaur (18:18:13): King Nelfess: "And your attempts to disarm me didn't escape my attention! Let me show you my arm from up close! Duke's Crushing Fist!"
tengusaur (18:18:54): Energy gathers around the Imperator's hand, which it throws in a punch-like gesture towards Ana's Breaker! The energy roughly shapes a fist-like projectile as it flies! (react)
tengusaur (18:19:05): (Peola and Eva can go)
VJockey (18:19:19): #Ana!
tengusaur (18:19:22): (approved)
VJockey (18:19:30): "!!"
VJockey (18:20:38): *The Regalis Filia is leaping to get in the way of the attack, pumping as much ki as she could into it before letting it loose into a cascading burst that was more raw power than control!+
Peter Kampschroeder (18:20:56): *Eva rushes Arma Summas, pressing him into melee-but once she's close, the Tern lets loose a volley of lasers from its other hand at Kliiment.+
Aero (18:20:59): * "Boost Knuckle!" The forearm fires off from the Super Robot and flies straight towards the chest of the Regalis Imperator. Still powered by the TK Field used for defense earlier. +
VJockey (18:21:00): "Don't you even DARE lay a hand on her!"
Wyverncakes (18:21:12): * That fist might be coming, but... "So what if you're older!" The machine's claw-like shoulder pauldron ejects, and then gets equipped like a gauntlet! And she's going to cross-counter right back, a blast of energy bursting from the opening in the center!+
Wyverncakes (18:21:56): "You can play the 'I know what's best' card all you want, but I've heard it all before!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:22:03): "You might be old, Ruler of Nefless, " Dido shouts. "But looking at you, all we see is a petulant child throwing a fit because he's not getting what he wants! Where's the wisdom in that? How can you call yourself a King, acting so bratty?"
tengusaur (18:22:57): Ana and Peola meet the energy fist together! The projectile explodes, but they hold against it, and their machines are only somewhat burnt by it!
tengusaur (18:23:34): And while this is going on, the Boost Knuckle flies, hitting the Imperator straight in the chest, and the lion-like head there!
tengusaur (18:24:02): The damage is light, but the unit was hit a few times already, and it's temporarily thrown off-balance!
tengusaur (18:24:34): However, the royal guard see that their sire is in danger, and three of them approach, creating long energy spears and throwing them at the Grungust! (react)
tengusaur (18:24:50): A few of the Mileses try to take potshots as well, however...
Wyverncakes (18:24:51): Ana: "He's..."
Aero (18:24:53): Rani: "Brye can you handle the defense this time?"
cubey@aol.pl (18:24:55): Brye: "Good job!"
Wyverncakes (18:24:58): "... I definitely see where you get the punching from."
cubey@aol.pl (18:25:01): Brye: "Yes, watch out!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:25:38): *The Grungust stares at the enemies with a stern gaze - the Eye Solid Laser bursts out of its eyes and tries to cut the energy spears, throwing their flight off-target!+
tengusaur (18:25:47): Cennetig: "Do not interrupt a honorable fight!" He fires a barrage of lasers at the Armas, scorching one of Kliiment's minions and forcing the rest on the defense!
Aero (18:25:56): Rani: "We need still need to focus everyone."
tengusaur (18:26:56): Speaking of Kliiment, he raises his sword to parry, but then gets hit by lasers while the two blades clash! Only his Arma's agility saved him from the damage being too severe.
tengusaur (18:27:13): Kliiment: "This is getting annoying. Get out of my way, I am here to collect my prize!"
Peter Kampschroeder (18:27:45): Eva: "I refuse!"
tengusaur (18:27:58): He uses his special power to gather energy and try to paralyze Eva and her unit with a weird, psychic attack! And he's already moving in, ready to counter with his blade! (react)
VJockey (18:27:59): "Yeah...really starting to think it came from him rather than my mother."
Wyverncakes (18:28:03): Ana: "She's not a prize!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:28:06): #Eva?
tengusaur (18:28:18): (approved)
VJockey (18:28:34): "Why don't you try saying that closer to me Kliiment!"
tengusaur (18:28:47): King Nelfess: "Petulant child? DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ANYTHING, GIRL!"
tengusaur (18:28:58): (Dido, Ana can move)
tengusaur (18:29:18): (Peola can also move)
tengusaur (18:30:01): Kliiment: "Oh, I shall, just you wait Peola. I only need to get rid of this annoying bug..."
cubey@aol.pl (18:30:08): Brye: "This is getting loud! Even for a fight!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:30:20): *Kliiment's blade swoops down…only to strike the thickened alloy of Dido's ShelLance. "Kliiment…this might come as a shock." ShelLancer's lance erupts with lightning that leaps to Kliiment's blade and sizzles his mech!+
Peter Kampschroeder (18:30:27): Eva: "Try me."
tengusaur (18:31:16): The Grungust cuts through most of the spears before they reach the target.. Except the last one. It embeds itself deep into its armor before disappearing.
tengusaur (18:31:27): At least the eye lasers did some minor damage to the attackers, as well.
cubey@aol.pl (18:32:16): Brye: "Ow, ow!" The cockpit shakes, which makes her current seating more unsteady than usual. "Sorry..."
Wyverncakes (18:32:42): * Yeah, been there done that with the angry family. The Breaker AN springs back to keep more distance between her and the King, more shots being aimed along the joints of the Regalis Fabur's arms. At first they're the same as they were, but the gun suddenly seems to extend out! "And now, sniper configuration!" And a precise shot right at the machine's shoulder!+
Wyverncakes (18:34:02): (Derp. King's machine)
Wyverncakes (18:34:10): (Imperator)
VJockey (18:35:52): *With the Custos forming a wall... Peola is going to get a running start before making to leap high and over them to deliver a devastatingly charged blow to follow up Ana's attack to the arms! Pushing more ki to speed her decent and give the attack more velocity!+
VJockey (18:35:58): "Nova Magnum!"
tengusaur (18:36:11): The Custoses try to come to their king's aid. However, they are met by Peola's siblings, Faber wielding its sword and Atrox dual-wielding daggers made from energy.
tengusaur (18:36:38): Haruun: "Let's take care of those. You know what to do, Peola!"
tengusaur (18:38:14): Regalis Imperator gets hit several times by Ana's shots, the final one hitting its arm and visibly damaging it. Then Peola, jumping over the Custoses, slams right into it with great force, her punch causing cracks to appear on the Imperator's armor!
tengusaur (18:38:35): Its arm looks bad now - it doesn't look like it's going to see much use in this fight!
Peter Kampschroeder (18:38:46): *Psychic attacks are not new for Eva! She tries to power on through it, pushing the Tern to the side and launching more shots at Summas from around Shelllancer.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:39:10): *After assisting Eva against Kliiment, Dido advances on the Imperator. ShelLancer launches a volley Arc Thorns that soar to the sky and rain on King Nefless from above!+
tengusaur (18:39:56): King Nelfess: "Rushing forward without thinking, opening yourself to a counterattack... This is how you always act, Peola!" The lion mouth in Imperator's chest opens wide, energy gathering inside, and then releases a massive blast in the direction of the two attackers! "Lord's Command!"
tengusaur (18:40:04): (Peola, Ana react)
Wyverncakes (18:40:43): "So what if it is?"
Wyverncakes (18:40:54): "SHe's got friends to back her up!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:40:59): Dido: "You're more like Peola than you care to admit…King Nefless!"
VJockey (18:41:09): "And I can trust them to always have my back!"
Wyverncakes (18:41:10): # Peola with my action?
tengusaur (18:41:24): Eva manages to overcome Kliiment's attack and avoid his sword strike - the fact that Dido is running interference with electric attacks helps! Arma Summas is forced to evade to avoid getting damaged further.
tengusaur (18:41:42): (you already did your action so it'd be a normal #)
tengusaur (18:41:45): (Brye and Rani go)
tengusaur (18:43:25): The king's mighty attack is thrown off-mark a bit by the Imperator getting bombarded by Arc Thorns. This could be your chance.
Wyverncakes (18:43:27): * The Breaker AN charges forward, but only so far as to grab onto Peola's machine! "Okay, hold on!" The thrusters flare up again to get them away from the Imperator!+
cubey@aol.pl (18:43:52): Brye: "Do you see it? Let's go, Rani!"
tengusaur (18:44:17): However, while this is going on, four Arma Miles units try to flank ShelLancer, taking advantage of it launching an attack to pepper it with long-range beams and grenades!
tengusaur (18:44:20): (Dido react)
VJockey (18:44:37): *Peola gives the much needed avoidance a boost by kicking against the ground to give them a little more height!+
cubey@aol.pl (18:45:07): *The Grungust releases a spinning sword hilt. It flies through the air a few meters up - and the Super Robot's hand grabs at it!
cubey@aol.pl (18:45:16): Brye: "We need to break through!"
Aero (18:45:25): Rani: "We just need this one hit and we'll finish it."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:45:26): *Dido slams down on her panic button with a clenched fist. "Shell Flak, Igniting!" The Arma Miles get bombarded with shrapnel that hopefully detonated the grenades early!+
cubey@aol.pl (18:45:47): Brye: "Then... we have to make sure this hit will strike for sure!"
tengusaur (18:46:03): One Miles goes down, smoking. The flak detonates the granades early, as well.
tengusaur (18:46:26): However, it does nothing to protect against the beams, and they bombard ShelLancer, causing damage to its armor!
cubey@aol.pl (18:46:29): *Seeing the Imperator being under attack, the Grungust flies forward, rushing its way through whatever royal guard units are in the way. The sword is stabbing forward, towards the chest lion mouth! And...
cubey@aol.pl (18:46:41): Brye: "Lucent Sword!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:47:26): Dido: "Keh!" She can still fight…especially by saying a single sentence to King Nefless, just as Brye's about to strike!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:47:35): @Brye (with words?)
tengusaur (18:47:49): (sure)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:48:44): *Dido clears her throat. "King Nefless!" She shouts. "Verana…would be ashamed of what you're doing here!"
Aero (18:49:19): "Alpha Strike!" Energy builds rapidly, lighting up the many veins that cover the Grungust Alpha before all flowing into the Lucent Sword and exploding out from it. +
tengusaur (18:50:02): King Nelfess: "..."
tengusaur (18:50:11): He hesitates for a moment, mid-attack.
tengusaur (18:50:45): This is enough for Peola and Ana to get away, the latter using her boosters to rush both of them out of the blast's area.
tengusaur (18:51:07): And then the Imperator is hit right in the lion head's open mouth!
tengusaur (18:51:34): Lucent Sword's Alpha Strike causes an explosion that rocks the whole large machine!
VJockey (18:51:39): "That was a little close for comfort..."
tengusaur (18:52:22): With one arm useless and its chest heavily damaged, it took quite a beating now.
tengusaur (18:52:39): King Nelfess: "If you think... That you can use her name against me like this..."
tengusaur (18:52:45): But it doesn't give up.
tengusaur (18:52:59): It turns to face you again, its eyes lighting up.
tengusaur (18:53:19): ...Then, you hear commotion.
Aero (18:53:33): Rani: "Did...did we do it?"
tengusaur (18:53:37): The gathered people have noticed something. Something approaching quickly!
tengusaur (18:53:43): Suddenly, the whole ship shakes!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:53:44): Dido: "Then explain to me just how your sister would approve of any of this! Go on, try!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:53:48): Brye: "Yes! I think you can see that violence is not the answer, mr King."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (18:53:53): "…whoah!"
tengusaur (18:53:57): Something big, collides with the ship's flank!
VJockey (18:54:06): "What was that?!"
cubey@aol.pl (18:54:08): Brye: "... What's going on?!"
tengusaur (18:54:25): It's a huge robot, the size of Regalis Imperator or maybe even bigger!
tengusaur (18:54:26): The Seeker
https://i.imgur.com/g6lrrFf.jpg
Wyverncakes (18:54:26): Ana: "What the..."
Wyverncakes (18:54:45): "W-WHAT THE-?!?"
tengusaur (18:54:50): It moves straight into your direction, rushing from downwards and leaving behind a gap in the ship's hull!
Peter Kampschroeder (18:54:52): Eva: "...Huh?"
tengusaur (18:54:57): There are panicked guests on its way!
Peter Kampschroeder (18:55:11): #guests?
tengusaur (18:55:12): They desperately try to get away, but they're too small and slow!
tengusaur (18:55:15): (approved)
VJockey (18:55:20): "...Ana! Throw me at that thing! Now!"
VJockey (18:55:32): #Guests also
tengusaur (18:55:40): (also approved)
Peter Kampschroeder (18:55:58): *The Tern is fast, and wastes no time in throwing its slender form into a body-check on the huge new robot.+
cubey@aol.pl (18:57:05): Brye: "A secret weapon? That's not very honorable!"
Aero (18:57:06): Rani: "What is that?"
Wyverncakes (18:57:53): Ana: "Peola are you craz-"
Wyverncakes (18:58:00): ... No, they needed to do something!
Wyverncakes (18:58:02): "Hold on!"
Wyverncakes (18:58:32): She deploys her other gauntlet and takes hold of Peola's Regalis, spinning around rapidly before hurling her right at it!
Wyverncakes (18:58:36): "You better know what you're doing!"
VJockey (18:58:45): "YAAAAAAAAAH!" *With assistance from the Breaker, Peola is sent at an exceedingly rapid speed towards the incoming threat and was fully intent on slamming into it as hard as she could to push it back!+
VJockey (18:59:10): [Too busy being a cannonball to answer Ana!]
tengusaur (19:00:05): The Tern and Regalis Filia collide with the giant strange machine, slowing it down for a moment.
tengusaur (19:00:45): But it's nearly an unstoppable behemoth, and after a moment, it throws them away with a backsmash of its shield, held in one of its strangely disattached, floating additional arms.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:00:55): Dido: "Uh…" ShelLancer turns towards the Regalis Imperator and its Royal Pilot. "Could we take a rain-check on our clash of ideals? A mysterious monster's attacking."
tengusaur (19:01:03): However, this gives most of the guests the time they need to clear the area!
tengusaur (19:01:07): As for the rest...
tengusaur (19:01:32): Some of them are grabbed by Regalis Faber, which quickly jumps by with great speed.
tengusaur (19:01:55): Others are caught by a giant hand, formed of energy, summoned by Atrox.
tengusaur (19:02:10): Ourania: "I have them. I think that's everyone!"
tengusaur (19:02:19): Haruun: "Good. What is this strange machine?"
VJockey (19:02:26): "Ugh...... good... because I think we just annoyed it!"
tengusaur (19:02:29): Ourania: "I have no idea. It's kind of pretty, in a way."
tengusaur (19:02:39): You can see one thing.
tengusaur (19:02:52): The giant Seeker keeps on moving into one direction.
tengusaur (19:02:58): It's approaching the Grungust.
tengusaur (19:03:12): With most likely unfriendly intent.
cubey@aol.pl (19:03:37): Brye: "Eh? It's... coming this way..."
Aero (19:03:47): Rani: "This is bad. We're low on power."
Wyverncakes (19:03:59): Ana: "Hey you two-"
cubey@aol.pl (19:04:16): Brye: "What does it want? Maybe it's friendly?"
tengusaur (19:04:30): The Seeker raises its huge hammer, wielded in the other remote hand, and brings it down in order to smash the Grungust!
tengusaur (19:04:32): (react)
tengusaur (19:04:50): At the same time its main body doesn't move at all, its hands still in a prayer-like pose.
VJockey (19:05:04): "Really don't think that's the case!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:05:06): Brye: "It's not friendly! It's not friendly at all!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:06:12): *The Grungust tries to fall back while raising the Lucent Sword, faded into a physical blade, as defense!+
tengusaur (19:06:51): The hammer comes down. It hits, with a resounding, powerful crash.
tengusaur (19:07:19): ...It hits the shoulder of Regalis Imperator. The giant machine moved in to intercept the strike with its block.
tengusaur (19:07:41): Electrical currents crawl over its damaged arm, where the strike left a deep mark.
tengusaur (19:07:51): King Nelfess: "...My royal guards."
tengusaur (19:08:07): King Nelfess: "...Evacuate everyone from this area. Their safety takes priority."
tengusaur (19:08:38): Custos pilot: "But sire. The challenge-"
tengusaur (19:08:47): King Nelfess: "NOW!"
tengusaur (19:09:01): Custos pilot: "Yes, your highness!"
tengusaur (19:09:14): The Custoses scatter, to do their job of protecting civilians!
VJockey (19:09:44): "Father..."
tengusaur (19:10:04): King Nelfess: "I have no idea what this monster is, Peola."
tengusaur (19:10:14): King Nelfess: "I never encounter anything similar to it before."
tengusaur (19:10:23): King Nelfess: "But I will not let it endanger our people!"
tengusaur (19:10:50): You may notice that, while all of this was going on...
tengusaur (19:11:03): Someone who should be here is no longer around.
tengusaur (19:11:18): There's a Kliiment-shaped void on the deck.
tengusaur (19:11:28): He, and his men, simply fled when the Seeker showed up.
VJockey (19:11:58): [A comment to be made at a later time...]
Peter Kampschroeder (19:12:00): Eva: "...Where did...ah...."
VJockey (19:12:01): [But now...]
cubey@aol.pl (19:12:03): Brye: "..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:12:06): "…what a coward," Dido snorts, for King Nefless's benefit.
cubey@aol.pl (19:12:19): Brye: "I guess you're not all bad, King Nelfess."
VJockey (19:12:40): "Father... Just don't think you're the only one fighting here!"
tengusaur (19:12:58): King Nelfess: "Enough talk. Let us destroy this thing!"
tengusaur (19:13:22): Haruun: "Well, I didn't expect I'd get to say 'yes father' anytime soon."
tengusaur (19:13:35): Cennetig: "Aff! Target acquired!"
Wyverncakes (19:13:58): Ana: "... If you try anything funny because of your stupid pride and Peola..."
Wyverncakes (19:14:04): "... I don't know what I'll do."
tengusaur (19:14:05): It's easier said than done, though. Regalis Imperator is heavily damaged, and this strange new enemy still has its eyes on the Grungust. And it's getting ready for another attack.
tengusaur (19:14:10): Enemy List: The Seeker

Allies: Regalis Imperator (King Unathi Nelfess) [heavy damage], Regalis Faber (Prince Harunn), Regalis Atrox (Ourania), Harbinger (Cennetig)
tengusaur (19:14:17): (Peola, Eva, Dido, go)
Peter Kampschroeder (19:14:42): (Can I get a support from Artox's spears as I move?)
tengusaur (19:15:22): (go for it)
Peter Kampschroeder (19:16:46): *Eva: "Ourania!" She flies up above the deck, bombarding the Seeker's "face" with lasers from her arm and head guns - while Artox launches a volley of its energy spears towards the newcomer.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:17:34): *ShelLancer Shell-Boosts in a circle around the massive Seeker, maneuvering towards its back. Dido takes careful aim at points of its armor, and–"Arc Thorns, Launching!"–tries to perform acupuncture on the mysterious creature!+
VJockey (19:17:35): *Peola's going to quickly weave across the deck, seeking to press the attack against the shield arm to leave another angle open for the others! Letting loose three punches that gained more strength with each blow, the last one downright letting loose an explosion of ki into the shield!+
VJockey (19:18:15): (Requesting @ from Cennetig)
tengusaur (19:18:21): Ourania: "You don't need to point to me an obvious weakpoint when I see o-"
tengusaur (19:18:24): Ourania: "...Eh?"
tengusaur (19:20:37): The Seeker's shield, wielded in a remote hand, moves in, intercepting Eva's lasers and Peola's punches. They hit against the barrier hard, but barely batter it.
tengusaur (19:21:25): At the same time, a force field raises around the giant enemy's flank and back. Dido's arc thorns and Ourania's spears hit it, and the damage they cause is completely nullified.
tengusaur (19:21:29): Ourania: "Eeeeeh?!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:21:44): Dido: "Fudge-Skittles!"
tengusaur (19:22:05): Cennetig: "Now is the time! The most powerful laser battery! Fire!"
tengusaur (19:22:33): He launches barrage after barrage of lasers from all of his unit's guns, trying to support Peola's attack!
tengusaur (19:22:39): The lasers pepper the shield...
tengusaur (19:22:43): For around two or three seconds.
tengusaur (19:22:46): Then the barrage stops.
tengusaur (19:23:01): Steam starts to come up from the Harbringer.
tengusaur (19:23:08): Cennetig: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:23:46): Brye: "That barrier... ugh!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:23:49): Dido: "You know, you could stand to install more radiators on that thing. Maybe some surface vanes…?"
cubey@aol.pl (19:23:51): She grasps at her head.
VJockey (19:24:36): "Okay this is getting a little annoying!"
tengusaur (19:24:37): Suddenly the Seeker slams its shield with full force at Peola, trying to knock her machine aside, not to mention crush it with sheer force of impact! (react)
tengusaur (19:24:40): And at the same time...
tengusaur (19:24:50): The ring on its back starts to glow...
tengusaur (19:25:11): And between its wings, energy gathers, and then fires into Eva's direction in the form of a huge beam! (react)
tengusaur (19:25:17): (Ana and Brye/Rani can move)
Aero (19:25:52): #Eva?
tengusaur (19:26:03): All this time, the Seeker's main body keeps the same prayer-like pose as always.
tengusaur (19:26:05): (approved)
Peter Kampschroeder (19:26:21): *She's not sticking around for that. Eva speeds away from the path of the beam!+
VJockey (19:27:06): *Peola is going to quickly guard herself as she leaps back!+
Wyverncakes (19:27:07): * The Breaker's gauntlets charge up energy beams again and she fires two concentrated beams at the Seeker
Wyverncakes (19:27:39): ^'s back ring! "Come on... you're not getting your way here so go down!"+
Aero (19:28:24): *Rani swings the Lucent Sword up towards the massive ring, trying to disrupt it's aim at the very least. +
tengusaur (19:28:51): (are you attacking from the front or trying to flank it, Steam?)
Wyverncakes (19:29:46): (Trying to flank it)
tengusaur (19:30:28): The Lucent Sword's strike hits the wings, throwing the enemy off a bit. No real noticable damage, though. This does let Eva get away from the beam... More or less. The sheer force of the blast still pushes her Tern away in the air, though she regains balance soon enough.
Aero (19:30:55): Rani: "Just barely."
tengusaur (19:31:05): Haruun: "Let me help you, Peola. Zephyr Strike!"
tengusaur (19:31:46): (Rani and Brye can move again)
tengusaur (19:32:23): Faber charges in, attacking with quick, precise slashes, as winds whirl around its sword... But this doesn't manage to do much except slow the enemy's shield bash a bit. This attack still pushes both of the royal siblings back.
cubey@aol.pl (19:32:27): Brye: "Uh... s-sorry. It's just that, I felt like someone was trying to stab my brain just now..."
tengusaur (19:32:49): Ana's energy blasts are met with the Seeker's powerful force field again. They don't manage to penetrate it.
cubey@aol.pl (19:33:13): Brye: "This barrier is blocking attacks from all directions!"
tengusaur (19:33:24): There's no counterattack, though. Because the Seeker's strange "eye" seems to be focused entirely on the Grungust right in front of it.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:33:25): "Okay," Dido mutters. "Okay. This thing has a huge physical shield, a forcefield that can intercept energy and projectiles, a rear firing beam, a big stick…and psychic powers, maybe."
VJockey (19:33:50): "......."
cubey@aol.pl (19:33:50): *Except... the sword did hit from the front. And just as it's close, the Grungust punches towards the enemy's hooded head - and whether it connects or not, the fist is launched as a follow up!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:33:52): "If we can't outflank it," Dido muses. "Can we overwhelm its defenses with concentrated fire?"
Peter Kampschroeder (19:34:09): Eva: "Probably."
cubey@aol.pl (19:34:15): Brye: "Why are you so interested in the Grungust? What do you want from us?"
VJockey (19:34:38): "I've got an idea... I don't think its a good one but it might be worth a shot!"
tengusaur (19:34:40): There's no response. But the psychic presence intensifies.
VJockey (19:35:26): "...Do you two think you can get this thing off and a good distance away from my father's ship?"
Wyverncakes (19:35:27): Ana: "I'm open to anything right now."
tengusaur (19:35:43): The strike hits the opponent's head, knocking it back a bit. The Seeker's main body doesn't change its pose at all. However, its hammer comes right in, trying to smash into the Grungust with a devastating, surprisingly quick horizontal swing!
tengusaur (19:35:44): (react)
Aero (19:36:00): Rani places her hand onto Brye's. If they were going to survive this they had to keep their sync up. "We have to make up for the Grungust's lack of energy with our own."
VJockey (19:36:29): "If this works I can crack one of its shields... but I'll have to leave the follow up to you guys."
Peter Kampschroeder (19:37:02): Eva: "...Geh...I think it's here for you two."'
cubey@aol.pl (19:37:05): Brye: "Y-yes!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:37:58): *The attack comes and the Grungust isn't really in a position to defend itself. However...
cubey@aol.pl (19:38:14): Brye: "Then let's show it - the power of who we really are!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:38:23): Brye: "TK Field, full power!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:39:06): *The barrier around the Grungust flares up, powered by telekinetic ability of its pilots.+
Aero (19:39:21): Rani concentrates again, this time trying to match her output with Brye's in order to give the T-Link System the power it needed. "T-Link Full Contact!"
tengusaur (19:40:14): The gigantic hammer impacts with the Grungust's TK Field. For a while, it struggles, the two units trying to overpower each other.
tengusaur (19:40:22): But the Grungust is low on energy.
tengusaur (19:40:32): The psychic presence becomes stronger.
tengusaur (19:40:51): The hammer slams through the barrier, and into the Grungust, sending it flying to the side!
tengusaur (19:41:05): It crashes on the deck, close to its edge, heavily damaged.
tengusaur (19:41:34): The Seeker charges up the ring on its back again.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:41:39): Dido: "Rani, Brye!"
Aero (19:41:44): Rani: "We can't keep this up..."
tengusaur (19:41:48): And it releases a huge beam, trying to finish off the Grugust!
tengusaur (19:41:57): (react... if you can)
Peter Kampschroeder (19:41:59): #The two?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:42:03): #Grungust?
tengusaur (19:42:04): (approved)
tengusaur (19:42:07): (also)
cubey@aol.pl (19:42:29): Brye: "Aaah!"
Peter Kampschroeder (19:42:53): #Eva lands just in front of the Grungust, and spreads her barrier field for protection. Against a beam like that though, it won't last long...+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:43:22): *"Hold on!" Dido closes the gap with a Shell-Boost, crouches down to grab the Grungust's hand, then Shell-Boost again to drag it out of the way!+
cubey@aol.pl (19:43:55): Brye: "I can't do it... there must be something..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:44:00): Brye: "!!"
cubey@aol.pl (19:44:39): *The Grungust tries to move... but even with help, it may be just too slow. However...
Aero (19:45:02): Rani: "Is this it..."
cubey@aol.pl (19:45:27): *Suddenly, a slash harken flies through the air, stabbing into the enemy from the front and cutting into the beam ring wildly, before thrusting off to the side.
cubey@aol.pl (19:45:41): *A unit zooms through the air above, and lands behind the Seeker...+
cubey@aol.pl (19:45:48): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMSEMzZ-nE
tengusaur (19:46:19): * Even protected by the barrier, the Tern gets hit by the powerful beam, which starts to melt its armor...
tengusaur (19:46:34): However, this is cut short, as an attack comes from an unexpected direction.
tengusaur (19:47:03): The Seeker seems distracted by the presence of the Huckebein, and its beam goes off as it turns around.
tengusaur (19:47:21): This lets Dido pull the Grungust out of the danger zone.
cubey@aol.pl (19:47:32): Brye: "You answered... Huckebein Omega answered my call for help!"
tengusaur (19:47:37): The Seeker is staring at the Huckebein now.
cubey@aol.pl (19:47:38): Again.
tengusaur (19:48:06): But then its single, weird remote "eye" darts to the side, looking at the Grungust.
tengusaur (19:48:19): Then it returns to the Huckebein.
VJockey (19:49:03): [Well its distracted... that's a good thing...]
tengusaur (19:49:19): It looks like the opponent is trying to focus on two targets at once now... And has trouble doing so.
cubey@aol.pl (19:49:54): Brye: "... It's not going to just stand there, is it?"
Aero (19:50:01): Rani: Brye...I think you need to get to the Huckebein."
cubey@aol.pl (19:50:08): It's a distraction but if the PT gets wrecked right now then...
cubey@aol.pl (19:50:10): Brye: "Yes."
cubey@aol.pl (19:50:21): Brye: "I'm going to pilot it! Will you be alright in here?"
cubey@aol.pl (19:50:45): Brye: "The Grungust isn't holding too well..."
tengusaur (19:51:06): (Peola, Eva, Dido, go)
VJockey (19:51:39): "...I've got no idea what might happen when I do this so... I'm going to apologize in advance if I cause any damage to your ship father."
tengusaur (19:52:08): King Nelfess: "...You can worry about that later. Just do it."
Aero (19:52:16): Rani: "I'll be fine, both of us staying here won't accomplish anything."
cubey@aol.pl (19:52:37): Brye: "..." She takes a deep breath.
cubey@aol.pl (19:52:52): Brye: "Okay, but - promise you will be safe! Because I don't want to lose you like that."
Peter Kampschroeder (19:52:53): Eva: "Please move while we keep it distracted."
cubey@aol.pl (19:53:19): Brye: "Okay, I gotta go now." She adds quickly, opening the cockpit before anyone can spot the blush on her face.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:53:54): DidoL "Go for it, Peola! We got your back!"
Aero (19:54:10): Rani: "I promise...do your best."
Peter Kampschroeder (19:54:33): *The Tern takes to the skies again, though with its armor partially melted it's movements are more jerky. It doesn't waste around with any medium attacks; The Tern charges up its chest-beam, and fires it along with everything else at the Seeker from behind.+
cubey@aol.pl (19:55:09): Brye quickly leaps off and runs towards the Personal Trooper, her fancy wedding guest dress fluttering in the wind.
VJockey (19:55:41): *Peola closes her eyes and focuses... channeling a truly immense amount of ki through the Regalis Filia to the point it lit up like a miniature sun. No distractions... no losing focus... she tears forward at a rapid pace towards The Seeker! Thrusting both fists forward to strike at it!&
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:55:43): ShelLancer moves behind the Regalis Filia, ready to support Peola's attack.
tengusaur (19:56:55): The Seeker's energy barrier appears again, absorbing most of Eva's blast! But not all of it, a little bit comes through and strikes at its armor.
tengusaur (19:57:16): Seeing this, the Seeker turns around, its hammer arm flying forward in an attempt to swat the Tern out of the sky!
tengusaur (19:57:57): But then Peola rushes in, hitting it in the chest with both fists. The Seeker, in response, swings its hammer wide, trying to hit two targets at once with it! (Eva react, Peola react/continue)
tengusaur (19:58:12): (Dido and Ana can move)
Wyverncakes (19:59:09): # Peola (combined with my move?)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (19:59:17): *Dido supports Eva and Peola by firing a barrage of Arc Thorns at the hand that holds the hammer…and then electrifies it with a mighty Lance Shock!+
Aero (19:59:21): And as Brye runs off Rani winces in pain, she puts her hand onto her right arm and puts some pressure onto it. Immediately pain shot through her entire body but right now she couldn't worry about that.
tengusaur (19:59:45): (go for it Ana)
Peter Kampschroeder (20:00:27): *That hammer's a problem, but if it can be held still, everyone else will have an easier time. So Eva tries to move in a little bit closer, and block the hammer along its shaft.+
Wyverncakes (20:00:35): "Uaaaaaaaaagh!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:01:08): Dido: "If we can get it to drop that hammer–!"
Wyverncakes (20:01:18): * The Breaker AN charges in as well, full power to its boosters and both of its gauntlets smashing into its arm, claws coming slashing down to try to cut through the arm!+
VJockey (20:01:51): *Now normally the last time she ever did this it was always on a surface, never on an enemy... which was probably going to make this really risky as she shunted every single bit of ki that was practically cycling through her machina like the world's roughest rapids into the Seeker. Where it lashes out, great arcing fangs would tear outwards from the deck close by, drawing plating and loose material towards them both before a violent detonation ensues!+
VJockey (20:02:04): "EXTINCTION! FLARE!!!"
tengusaur (20:02:42): Eva tries to block the incoming hammer. This might be difficult, if not for several factors.
tengusaur (20:03:13): The first one is that Dido peppers the arm with Arc Thorns, sending electric currents running through it.
tengusaur (20:03:46): The second one is that Ana rushes in, clawing at the arm ferociously, which deals damage to it and slows it down a bit.
tengusaur (20:03:59): The third one is that also something else is coming to meet the hammer.
tengusaur (20:04:10): It's a rocket fist, formed from energy.
tengusaur (20:04:29): King Nelfess: "Duke's Crushing Fist!"
tengusaur (20:05:29): All of those strikes collide with the hammer arm, dealing some damage to it, and letting Eva block it in the air long enough for Peola to do her thing.
tengusaur (20:05:47): The explosion is powerful, throwing the Seeker back.
tengusaur (20:06:18): But when the dust settles, it's still standing, holding its shield in front of it for protection. Albeit it's more damaged now than before.
tengusaur (20:06:33): The Seeker's eye darts to the side, into the direction of the Huckebein.
tengusaur (20:06:42): The Huckebein that Brye now reached.
tengusaur (20:06:47): (Brye and Rani go)
cubey@aol.pl (20:07:12): Bryanne enters the cockpit, conveniently open. "All systems are already booted... it's just like that one time."
cubey@aol.pl (20:07:24): But this time she's here alone. And she feels a certain pang of guilt.
Wyverncakes (20:07:31): Ana: "Then you better hurry... it's starting to sideye you too!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:07:33): ... No. No use dwell on it.
cubey@aol.pl (20:07:54): Brye: "Good! Here, here! Look, I'm here!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:08:30): *The Huckebein zips into the sky, and from above rushes forward - trying to get close, between the Seeker and its damaged limbs, a vector that makes it hard for the enemy to attack without hurting itself as well.
VJockey (20:08:34): "...Take care of it.."
tengusaur (20:09:00): (Peola can also go)
cubey@aol.pl (20:09:03): Brye: "Move your funny shield around... now!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:10:00): *While getting close, the Huckebein fires a salvo of Beam Magnum shots, barraging the damaged shield arm. It circles around the enemy, gets away - spins, and fires a final shot, held in both hands for precision.+
VJockey (20:11:12): "Have to ...finish it off!"
tengusaur (20:11:33): The shield arm is peppered by a constant barrage of beams, which damage it further and further. It looks like it's not going to be of much use anymore... Having no way to hit an enemy from such close distance with its hammer, the Seeker tries to instead charge its beam again, and fire it at the Huckebein from close range. (react)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:12:05): #Brye?
VJockey (20:12:18): *She still had enough energy, charging in once more to deliver a single, devastating punch with as much energy left as she could muster in her exhaustion to support the Huckebein!+
tengusaur (20:12:35): (you're not in good position to do so, denied)
cubey@aol.pl (20:13:28): Brye: "Top speed now... I too made a promise!" *The Huckebein Omega zooms above, trying to force the enemy to twist at a weird angle if the beam was to follow its fast evasion!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:14:31): "C'mon…!" Dido mutters, urging the Huckebein to speed up!
Aero (20:15:59): *Rani takes a deep breath, taking aim at the Seeker as Brye began her assault. She had to increase the number of targets that it wanted to go after. The thrusters of the Boost Knuckles flare up and both fists are fired in quick succession towards the Seeker, increasing the number of targets chasing after it. As the fists fly in at she can see the Seeker's beam charge up and in response she charges her own with what energy the Grungust could muster and fires the Alpha Blaster. Too exhausted to even shout out the attack name. +
tengusaur (20:16:34): Brye's maneuver is successful, forcing the enemy to turn in such a way that its attack is easy to dodge, and even when she feels the power of the strike up close, she manages to avoid it. The fact that it's still distracted by the Grungust's presence helps. Speaking of which...
tengusaur (20:18:12): The Seeker turns, trying to follow the Boost Knuckles. One of them hits it strongly in the chest, followed by the Alpha Blaster's beam! It raises the hammer arm for protection - looks like its shield arm really is not very useful at this point...
tengusaur (20:18:34): However, then it flies in, trying to strike at the Grungust with an upwards hammer swing! (react)
tengusaur (20:18:39): (Peola, Eva and Dido can go)
Peter Kampschroeder (20:20:17): *Eva decides to do the stupid thing. The Tern flies in real, real close to the Seeker-and grabs its hammer arm from behind, pulling it back with one hand while stabbing into it with the other.+
tengusaur (20:20:39): Peola's punch hits the Seeker, the attack shaking its body. But now she finds herself in the area of its hammer swing attack, as well! (react)
tengusaur (20:20:42): (Ana can also move)
cubey@aol.pl (20:20:50): The Huckebein flies off to safety, but...
cubey@aol.pl (20:20:58): Brye: "Ah, Rani!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:21:27): Too far, and in too bad of a position to react.
cubey@aol.pl (20:21:34): ... Regardless!
cubey@aol.pl (20:21:37): # Rani
tengusaur (20:21:54): (approved)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:22:40): *Dido follow the Seeker, raising its Lance at the disembodied hammer arm. "Reactor Full. Let's finish that appendage off….Lance Shock, Discharging!" Another bolt of lightning leaps from ShelLancer to the Arc Thorns that pierce the Seeker's flying hammer arm!+
Wyverncakes (20:22:47): * The Breaker's rifle switches to sniper configuration, Ana biting her lip a bit as she brings up to focus on the machine's head, and at that seeking eye. "Hold, and... fire!" Another focused beam shoots right at that hopefully weak point!+
tengusaur (20:22:49): Eva grabs the hammer arm, and holds onto it while stabbing into it with her blade. The arm, however, is stronger than the Term, and it tries to shake the machine off with its powerful swing, and then smash at it as well! (react)
Peter Kampschroeder (20:24:40): *When the Seeker starts flaling to throw Eva off, she breaks her grip and backs away-but not before giving it a parting shot into that stab wound she's inflicted.+
VJockey (20:24:56): *With as little energy as she had left and the amount of damage that thing could do the most Peola had at the moment was to kick off and dodge to the side, away from the incoming swing!+
cubey@aol.pl (20:24:57): *The Fang Slasher is shot again. "I can see it... Sense it, I mean. All I need is - please, hit!" Its triangular blades are deployed and the weapon flies low, trying to go below the Seeker and cut into the shaft of the hammer it is wielding+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:25:14): Dido: "Watch the lightning, Eva!"
Peter Kampschroeder (20:27:25): Eva: "Noted."
Aero (20:29:49): * As the hammer is swung up at her, the Grungust's boost knuckles suddenly return and push down on the handle of the hammer. "You're not the only one who can do that." And in defiance she rushes forward and shouldertackles the Seeker as hard as she possibly can with the Grungust. +
tengusaur (20:31:25): A huge barrage of attacks falls on the remote hammer arm. It's zapped by electricity, cut up by the Fang Slasher, hit by Eva's shot as she kicks away from it, and by the returning rocket punch.
tengusaur (20:31:37): It's broken down and blows up.
tengusaur (20:31:56): Eva and Peola manage to avoid it safely. Dido's electric attack, as well.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:32:11): Dido: "Yes! Now to crush the main body!"
tengusaur (20:32:35): The Seeker's head gets scorched by Ana's energy blast. It's staggered for a second, then looks up, charging up its big beam again...
tengusaur (20:32:49): Then it gets shoulder-tackled by the Grungust and pushed away.
tengusaur (20:33:56): And then, a huge, long barrage of lasers fires on it, shot by the Harbringer! Followed up by several energy spears, thrown by Regalis Atrox and stabbing into its armor! Followed by a few waves of cutting wind, fired as Regalis Faber swings its blade!
tengusaur (20:34:19): Cennetig: "My systems are nominal again. Time to unleash a true Alpha Strike!"
tengusaur (20:34:53): Ourania: "Hey, sis. I wonder how many years you'll have to go without pocket money for the damage you did to father's ship~"
tengusaur (20:35:15): Haruun: "Ha ha. Let's joke about this later. It's charging up the beam again!"
tengusaur (20:35:21): Indeed it is!
tengusaur (20:35:29): But it hasn't fired yet!
tengusaur (20:35:33): (Brye and Rani, go)
cubey@aol.pl (20:35:52): Brye: "It's going to fire!"
VJockey (20:36:00): "Ahahah...oh geez..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:36:11): And she's behind the foe, which means the attack will just be absorbed by the barrier...
cubey@aol.pl (20:37:21): Brye: "This better work!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:38:08): *The Huckebein's wing binders change their configuration, transforming and starting to charge up the Omega Cannon - while the unit is on the move! Brye tries to speed up and rather clumsily lands next to the Grungust.
cubey@aol.pl (20:38:14): Brye: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
cubey@aol.pl (20:38:18): *The Omega Cannon fires!+
Aero (20:38:48): @Brye?
tengusaur (20:38:54): (do it)
Aero (20:42:04): * "It's fine, as long as you're here." The Grungust's tron lines light up again and flow towards the chest of the machine. The chest plate opens up and then discharges a massive beam to follow alongside the Omega Cannon. +
tengusaur (20:43:10): The Omega Cannon and Alpha Blaster fire, rushing towards the Seeker. And right on time, because the giant opponent's beam fires as well, crashing against them!
tengusaur (20:43:22): The two beams struggle against each other for a few seconds...
tengusaur (20:43:35): But then, the enemy's blast starts to gain an advantage!
tengusaur (20:43:54): And a big one! It presses on, and quickly!
tengusaur (20:44:09): The two mecha will soon be caught in the blast!
tengusaur (20:44:11): (react)
cubey@aol.pl (20:44:21): Brye: "Low power...?!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (20:45:42): @Psychodrivers?"
tengusaur (20:46:07): (they got it)
Aero (20:46:32): Rani: "We can do this....we just need to focus the energy..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:47:04): Brye: "Grungust has little energy... but Huckebein still has plenty. And more importantly!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:48:27): *The cannons of the Huckebein are aiming more narrowly, focusing the beam just as Brye focuses her own psychic energy...
cubey@aol.pl (20:48:41): Brye: "There is the two of us!"
Aero (20:54:01): * The hilt of the Lucent Blade launches from the Grungust's shoulder again. However, instead of forming a blade Rani forms a T-Link field around the hilt and then holds it in front of the beam they were firing at the Seeker... "And we won't let you stop us."
cubey@aol.pl (20:55:10): Brye: "As long as there's the two of us..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:55:29): *The Huckebein grabs the hilt as well. Both units holding one weapon together...
cubey@aol.pl (20:55:45): Brye: "I won't let the likes of you beat us!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:56:08): Brye: "Rani, let's use Huckebein's power together!"
Aero (20:57:00): Rani: "With this one blade..."
Aero (20:57:09): Rani: "Alpha..."
cubey@aol.pl (20:57:16): Brye: "Omega...!"
Aero (20:57:48): Rani: "STRIKE!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:57:54): Brye: "STRIKE!!"
cubey@aol.pl (20:58:19): *The telekinetic field grows and entraps the gravitic blast within - becoming a new blade for the Lucent Sword. A blade which cuts through the enemy beam - and into the Seeker behind it, before violently exploding and crushing everything on its path with gravitic energy.+
tengusaur (20:59:09): The Alpha Omega Strike stabs right through the opponent's beam, overcoming it!
tengusaur (20:59:19): It pushes forward, blowing a huge hole into its chest!
tengusaur (20:59:33): Not to mention leaving a trail of devastation in front and behind it.
tengusaur (20:59:37): The Seeker's beam stops...
tengusaur (21:00:05): Its body floats there for a second, with a big hole in its chest, the damage suffered previously during the fight clearly in sight.
tengusaur (21:00:13): Then it blows up in a bright explosion.
tengusaur (21:00:38): Cennetig: "...It is over."
VJockey (21:01:11): "... That... was a rush..."
cubey@aol.pl (21:01:15): Brye: "Aaah... I almost had a heart attack..."
cubey@aol.pl (21:01:32): The Huckebein's limbs are limp now.
cubey@aol.pl (21:01:43): Brye: "Rani? Are you okay? Is everyone fine?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (21:02:06): Dido: "Peola? Harrun? Ourania? You guys good?"
tengusaur (21:02:14): Cennetig, Haruun, Ourania... Looks like they're all fine.
tengusaur (21:02:18): Regalis Imperator's massive, and damaged, form stands there, its face shaded by the explosion.
VJockey (21:02:45): "I'm alright... just tired... Harunn? Ourania?.. Father?"
tengusaur (21:03:02): King Nelfess: "...There is something I have to do."
tengusaur (21:03:24): Harunn: "...Father. Do you still insist on-"
tengusaur (21:04:05): King Nelfess: "I need to write a formal apology for ESUN and Unity Group. And an offer of reperations, for my poor behaviour and undue actions."
tengusaur (21:04:43): King Nelfess: "As for you, pilots. I have to apologize to you as well, for my poor and unfair treatment."
tengusaur (21:05:45): King Nelfess: "Harunn. Ourania. And especially Peola. My own children. My biggest apology goes to you. I have made so many mistakes. I hope you will forgive this old man for them, one day."
tengusaur (21:06:12): Ourania: "Oh... Father..." Looks like for once she's not in a joking mood.
Aero (21:06:48): Rani: "I'm...fine or I will be fine." She attempts to raise a small smile to reassure her partner.
VJockey (21:06:58): "... Ah.... damn... I can't exactly stay upset if you say it like that father."
VJockey (21:07:09): [Peola lets out a slightly embarassed laugh.]
cubey@aol.pl (21:07:12): Brye: "Really? That's a relief..."
tengusaur (21:07:31): King Nelfess: "Needless to say, the wedding is cancelled. And Kliiment won't be a welcome guest in the court anymore."
cubey@aol.pl (21:07:44): Brye: "And that, also."
tengusaur (21:07:48): King Nelfess: "...However."
VJockey (21:08:01): "..?"
tengusaur (21:08:12): King Nelfess: "Ana Racik. Peola."
Wyverncakes (21:08:24): "What?"
Wyverncakes (21:08:30): "... Peola..."
VJockey (21:08:34): "Father?"
Wyverncakes (21:08:34): "How does he know my name?"
VJockey (21:08:42): "Uhm..."
tengusaur (21:08:43): King Nelfess: "Once you two decide on a date for your PROPER wedding, I fully expected to be invited to it!"
Wyverncakes (21:08:51): "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?"
VJockey (21:08:52): [GAK]
Peter Kampschroeder (21:09:14): Eva: "...Oh, that's...sweet..."
VJockey (21:09:25): [Princess is now at maximum fluster.]
tengusaur (21:09:30): Ourania: "Ah, I'm so happy for you, sis~!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (21:09:43): Dido slaps a hand to her mouth, stiffling a massive burst of chuckles.
tengusaur (21:09:58): Cennetig: "I will be invited as well, quiaff?"
cubey@aol.pl (21:09:58): Brye: "Ha... haha... sorry."
tengusaur (21:10:06): Harunn just smirks in his cockpit.
VJockey (21:10:18): "Th.. that's.. I..."
VJockey (21:10:23): "Meep..."
tengusaur (21:10:30): MISSION COMPLETE
Wyverncakes (21:11:22): Ana, just...
Wyverncakes (21:11:45): She doesn't even want to know what Peola told her dad nwo.
Wyverncakes (21:11:47): ^now
