VJockey (04:01:40): Halloween. Friday the 31st.
VJockey (04:02:15): Today is a night of scary spirits and ghastly ghouls...
VJockey (04:02:16): and also
VJockey (04:02:28): Partying. Lots of that.
VJockey (04:03:01): The Unity Group among others have been invited to a mountain resort for a grand little shindig
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:17): Izuru seems pretty low key for some reason. He's not even bothering others to participate in shenanigans.
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:21): Be glad, you know who.
frifreeman (04:03:55): Walt: "Who's inviting us to this party anyway?"
tengusaur (04:03:58): Asagi is glad he's not being bothered.
peter kampschroeder (04:04:08): Jen's wearing a dress, for a change, a pretty aggressive one at that. She's having a good time!
VJockey (04:04:12): ... except the place has something of a reputation. Some people say it was the site of several murders, others believe that it was built over the site of an indian burial ground, even more others think that there was some kind of horrific tear to other realities where spooks of all sorts live.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:51): Izuru: "It's not a real indian burial ground, is it?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:59): He makes sure to check the atlas.
VJockey (04:05:17): And to top it off the rich person who invited you all? The owner of the place? Made sure alcohol was in great supply and invited more than a few shifty characters
aldo salt (04:05:58): "Whooh!" Dido, a slight flush on her cheeks, shoves her head face-first into a water-filled bucket, and sloshes around for a bit. She surfaces in a rush of droplet, clenching an apple between her teeth. "Ch'k ut!" She crows. "Boo-yah!"
tengusaur (04:06:06): Asagi: "What difference does it make?"
VJockey (04:06:16): like that ex-decepticon occultist who looks batlike who got baited by some people into holding a seance. Or the guys messing around with the Ouija board.
frifreeman (04:06:31): Walt: "Also izuru, which kind of "indian"?
VJockey (04:06:41): Well Izuru....
VJockey (04:06:50): as it turns out...
VJockey (04:06:53): it actually is
aldo salt (04:07:18): "Who thinks they can depose the queen of apple bobbing!" Dido proclaims, spitting the apple out and holding it aloft.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:20): Izuru: "Well, you see... eh? Is that an Autobot?"
VJockey (04:07:21): "WooOOoOoOoOoOOooooOOOOOooooh!"
VJockey (04:07:43): One by one lights begin to go off.
tengusaur (04:07:52): Asagi: "I'll pass... What was that?"
frifreeman (04:08:38): Walt: "Crap, grab each others hands, and no matter what the voices say, don't let go!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:11): Izuru: "Wait, what?!"
peter kampschroeder (04:09:20): Jen rolls her eyes and keeps talking with her companion for the night. Dang faulty transformers!
VJockey (04:09:25): As the area goes dark, the truly massive animatronic jack'o lantern the host had spent who knows how much money on lit up a baleful purple instead of the comical shade of orange.
VJockey (04:09:46): Its funny Jen. How you brought up faulty Transformers.
frifreeman (04:09:55): Walt: "This party might be actually a scam and i anyone ask you for money, don't give them any, just walk out and don't let anyone pay the money!
VJockey (04:09:59): "WOOOOOoOOoOOOooOO!!!!!"
VJockey (04:10:16): "WOOOoOoHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!"
VJockey (04:10:24): ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlqQD6C4lfg )
tengusaur (04:11:34): Asagi: "...I swear, if those are real ghosts...!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:44): Izuru: "More real ghosts?!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:49): (Yes, more)
VJockey (04:11:54): Slowly but surely flickering, pale spectres that resembled
VJockey (04:11:58): Seekers!
aldo salt (04:12:00): Dido looks about. "What the…Fudge-Skittles!" She blurts out. "Is this some kind of improve event–?"
aldo salt (04:12:09): *improv
peter kampschroeder (04:12:14): Jen: "-Not that kind of transformer!"
VJockey (04:12:22): And on the top of the massive Jack'O Lantern was none other than
VJockey (04:12:37): Starscream's Ghost!
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:55): Izuru: "And not just any ghosts! Robot! Robot ghosts!"
VJockey (04:12:58): "FEAR ME FLESHLINGS! FOR I STARSCREAM HAVE RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE!"
tengusaur (04:13:12): Asagi: "You've got to be kidding me."
aldo salt (04:14:00): Dido's mind races over what she knows of Transformer theology. "Sparks!" She shouts. "Disembodied Cybertronian sparks!"
frifreeman (04:14:15): Walt: "This gives so many answers yet raises so many questions!"
VJockey (04:14:45): The seeker ghosts were stepping towards the partygoers... not actually stepping. It was more like they were dancing towards them.
VJockey (04:15:49): "Tonight! I will have my revenge! For if it were not for you worthless meatsacks I would have been able to reign over the Decepticons for more than five of your Earth minutes! Now... prepare for my vengeance from beyond the grave-!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:21): Izuru: "Err. I need to get to Red Five, but..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:34): Izuru: "When did Starscream die anyway?"
VJockey (04:16:53): It was about then that a shuttle did a rapid fly by to drop off several familiar to the Unity Group Mecha, as if to taunt the ghost.
aldo salt (04:17:17): Dido steps back, babbling nervously: "What should we do? Sparks aren't material–with Earth ghosts, I'd exorcise them or throw road salt at them…but wouldn't robot ghosts be different…oh thank god, our rides!"
aldo salt (04:17:20): She hiccups.
VJockey (04:17:30): Though admittedly Asagi may find himself getting an ulcer. It seems someone wanted to have even them in costume.
VJockey (04:17:54): Well... nothing more for it. Time to stop a ghost.
VJockey (04:17:56): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddyd8WxIOUY
tengusaur (04:18:35): Asagi: "There! Blue One!" He starts to make his way towards his unit. "...Who thought it should look like a skeleton?"
VJockey (04:19:13): "Bah!... So you have your machines. So WHAT?! RISE MY MINIONS!"
peter kampschroeder (04:19:39): Jen: "Beats me!" She's running off towards Nemain, which has a wide, orange "smile" painted across its face.
VJockey (04:19:43): And with several blasts of smoke more foes appear!
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:07): O hai Steam
VJockey (04:21:44): (Enemies: Starscream's Ghost, Ghost Seekers x13, Animatronic Skellingtons x66, 'Spooky Ghosts' x6)
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:47): Izuru: "I mean it! Isn't this guy Megatron's second in command? I don't think he ever died, is this a trick?"
tengusaur (04:22:41): Asagi: "Why won't you ask him then."
VJockey (04:22:46): Starscream's Ghost - Slightly transparent, screechy voice, posturing grandiosely from the giant animatronic Jack'O Lantern. Is also wearing a crown that looked like someone stomped on it and a messed up cape.
aldo salt (04:22:48): Dido clambers up ShelLancer, then pauses. "Where…" She blinks several times. "Where is my big Zappy Lance?" She demands. "Who painted my ride yellow and green? Why are there twin swords in its hands…and is that a blue bandana?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:26): Izuru: "I will! Even if it's a spooky party and ghosts are very fitting, this type of interruption must be stopped!"
VJockey (04:23:29): Ghost Seekers - Ghosts that look similar to Starscream, though they are silent. They're dancing in an intimidating, yet well choreographed way.
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:40): Izuru: "Hitachi Izuru and Red Five... err? What is this supposed to be? A vampire?"
VJockey (04:23:58): Animatronic Skellingtons - Robot Skeletons. How spooky!
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:59): Red Five's costume consist of a semi transparent cape and some kind of green glowy bits stuck to its head and back.
VJockey (04:24:15): 'Spooky Ghosts' - They look like hovering sheets with eye holes.
tengusaur (04:24:55): Asagi: "Since when kitschy green glowing bits mean vampires?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:10): Izuru: "Maybe Red Five is a space vampire."
VJockey (04:25:25): (Initiative: Izuru, Asagi, Jen, Walt, Dido)
VJockey (04:25:31): (Rabbit brothers go)
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:46): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GC5R_v-CFs
tengusaur (04:26:29): Asagi: "There's no such things as space vampires!" As he says that, he readies his heavy machinegun, taking off into the air and flying in on a circle, firing short, aimed bursts at the groups of skeletons. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:27:28): *Red Five flies up towards the spooky haunted pumpkin. "This is no place for hauntings! Why can't you just pass on, whether you are a ghost or Spark or whatever!" Pistols in hand, Izuru fires beams at the decoration and its rider!+
VJockey (04:28:59): Asagi! Your shots make several Skellingtons explode into robot bones flying everywhere. I mean it didn't even take that many shots to do it too! There was a tiny problem in that the bones of the Skellingtons you shot up are all flying through the air... and redirecting themselves at you! REACT!
VJockey (04:30:16): Izuru! Your space vampire lasers shoot up the pumpkin, but seem to simply go right through Starscream's ghost as he stands, arms akimbo and laughing mockingly.
Wyverncakes (04:30:32): # Asagi?
cubey@aol.pl (04:30:41): Izuru: "A ghost is immune to beams? No way!"
VJockey (04:31:18): "And pass up the chance to conquer what Megatron failed to do so? I will prove to him that even in death I will triumph!"
tengusaur (04:31:26): Asagi: "...Homing bones This is getting weirder by the minute.?" Blue One quickly backs away and goes down to the ground, trying to avoid the projectiles and outmaneuver them into the floor. +
VJockey (04:31:30): "He will pay for disrupting my Coronation!"
VJockey (04:31:57): "But first, I'll deal with you Fleshling!"
VJockey (04:32:11): (Support approved)
Wyverncakes (04:32:53): ???: "Desparate for another attempt of losing horribly? Well, we'll be sure to oblige."
Wyverncakes (04:33:21): A white machine is lunging onto the battlefield, towards the Skellington bones flying at Blue One!
Wyverncakes (04:33:22): It's...
Wyverncakes (04:33:25): It's...!!!
Wyverncakes (04:33:31): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6etNWtfEtXY
VJockey (04:33:50): Izuru! The Giant Pumpkin's cheerful smile turns ANGRY! The vines that served as the animatronic's arms suddenly lift it off the ground as skinny, seekerlike legs punch out of the bottom! It then fires Eye lasers at you! Rather than sounding like any sort of conventional laser though....
Wyverncakes (04:34:02): * Actually just a big halloween poster the Soleares got somewhat caught in, but swings forward to catch all the bones in!+
VJockey (04:34:04): -BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!-
VJockey (04:34:14): REACT IZURU!
VJockey (04:34:28): (Jen, Walt, Dido go.)
cubey@aol.pl (04:35:16): Izuru: "You're a Decepticon king?!" *The pumpkin is full of ghosts?! Red Five leaps up, its wings spreading wide (and damaging the glowing bits slightly) as it tries to gain distance from the foe, then back off from those lasers.+
frifreeman (04:35:18): Walt: "Jeez, I feel like seeing everything through beer goggles, and I haven't even drink that much"
aldo salt (04:35:32): "Right," Dido mumbles. "Let's do this!"
VJockey (04:35:44): Asagi! As good as your manuevering was, the bones were somehow keeping good time before Selena managed to catch them in the huge poster where they clattered angrily at you. Thanks to her you didn't get boned!
frifreeman (04:36:26): Walt clambers in with a genoace painted green plus yellow faceplate.
Wyverncakes (04:36:53): Selena: "Well then, I guess we're lucky I decided to play chaperone."
Wyverncakes (04:37:09): Elma: "... Those bones aren't even the proper structures for a skeleton!"
frifreeman (04:37:17): Walt: "Okay, anyone familiar with the minute specifics of Cybertronian religion?"
aldo salt (04:37:52): *Speaking of Ninjas, a colorful shape darts towards the ghostly Starscream…and flashes past, two electricity-charged blades carving through the deception specter. "Trick or Treat…Smell my Feat!"+
VJockey (04:38:03): "I was going to be the Absolute Ruler of ALL DECEPTICONS! Then Megatron returned from the dead and shot me!"
VJockey (04:38:08): "BUT I PERSISTED!"
peter kampschroeder (04:38:15): *"You know, this...this really ticks me off." Nemain takes its gun and grapples its way a bit further up the mountain, shooting down at the skellyboners. "I mean, he was kind of weird, but not too unattractive...and now I get nothing," she mutters to herself.+
frifreeman (04:38:35): Walt: "I familiarized myself with the burial rites of six earth's most widespread religion plus rastafarian for preparation for just something like this."
frifreeman (04:39:06): Walt: "But I never prepared for Ghost... from beyond the space...."
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:11): Izuru: "Ghosts are usually hanging around because of some kind of unfinished business!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:26): Izuru: "Okay, that sounds like unfinished business."
tengusaur (04:39:29): Asagi: "Do they even HAVE religion? If only any Autobots were here to ask..."
VJockey (04:39:55): Jen! The Skeletons burst into a hurricane of angry, clattering projectiles towards you! Though in the case of the feet they were actually somehow running up the mountain after the Nemain! React!
VJockey (04:40:19): Dido!....
VJockey (04:40:20): ...
VJockey (04:40:29): The swords whoosh through Starscream
VJockey (04:40:35): it was like you were slicing through air
VJockey (04:40:40): really screechy sounding air.
VJockey (04:41:12): He gives you a distinctively annoyed look before snapping his fingers and pointing at you!
frifreeman (04:41:37): Walt:"Goddamn it, this yellow visor really mess with the genoace's targetting computer."
aldo salt (04:42:08): Dido pouts. "Oh, c'mon!" She protests. "That, in the words of my ancestors, is Hax!"
VJockey (04:42:23): ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIx_HbmRnQY )
peter kampschroeder (04:42:46): *"This is not what I came here for! Go home, skeletons!" Nemain fires a grenade at the oncoming skeletons, aiming to blow them up - and disrupt the snow under their feet.+
frifreeman (04:43:09): Despite that, Walt still try to fire at the crowd of ghosts and skeletons. His green genoace fire wildly at them, somehow even look less dependable than normal-colored genoace.
frifreeman (04:43:11): +
VJockey (04:43:22): Music suddenly starts blaring out of the pumpkin as his fellow Ghost Seekers dance towards the Shellancer, rapidly moving and punching and shoving it around somehow! React!
frifreeman (04:43:27): *look even less dependable
VJockey (04:46:37): Walt! You manage to nail a few Skellingtons as well as one of those spooky ghosts which suddenly wobble and distort lightly before poofing out of existence like a TV getting shut off! Though this does have the added problem of an imminent Bonerain and the rest of the ghosts flailing their sheet-arms at you as they swirl around your Genoace. React.
VJockey (04:47:49): Izuru! The Lasers miss, though the insistent Booing continued to echo across the mountains.
VJockey (04:48:07): (Updated Initiative: Izuru, Asagi, Selena, Jen, Dido, Walt)
VJockey (04:48:18): (Rabbits and Survivor. Go)
aldo salt (04:48:35): *"Fudge-skittles!" Dido curses. "What's the closest equivalent to Smoke Bombs…uh, Shell-Flak!" ShelLancer fires flak pellets from every armor port! Whether or not they hurt the ghosts, Dido uses the distracting flash to shift to the low-profile Turtle mode and boost out of the crowd of Seekers!+
Wyverncakes (04:49:05): (Enemy list?)
tengusaur (04:49:28): Asagi: "At least we know the bedsheet ghosts can be destroyed. But what about the Decepticons?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:35): Izuru: "Everyone, you need to get out of here!"
VJockey (04:50:06): (Enemies: Ghost Pumpkin King Starscream, Ghost Seekersx 13, Animatronic Skellingtons x26, Spooky Ghosts x5)
Wyverncakes (04:50:25): Elma: "There'd have to be some weakness to them. If they were invincible that's all he would've brought!"
Wyverncakes (04:50:50): Selena: "That's thinking logically, sure. Too bad not many Decepticons were like that."
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:55): *While yelling warnings to the civilians, Red Five loops overhead. Izuru holsters back the beam pistols and deploys the chainsword, firing a short round from its rifle attachment at the seekers below while swooping down - the attack followed by a wide slash!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:03): (Making sure no civvies are around before attacking)
VJockey (04:52:00): Dido! The Shell flak bombards the ghosts with a flash. The bright light, flying projectiles and spinny turtle manuever had startled them that their forms lost coherence and left them as...
Wyverncakes (04:52:02): * Still... "But let's see if what they have is an active or passive defense." The Stealth Boomerange is drawn and ready, flung out towards the skeletons before the Prism Phantom winks it out of existence... at which point it makes a hard right to go crashing into one of the Seekers!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:42): Izuru: "There's gotta be a way we can stop them somehow! Earth can't be conquered by Cybertronian ghosts!"
VJockey (04:52:52): (Sparks: http://www.transformerscustomtoys.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Transforers-Sparks-www.transformerscustomtoys.com_.jpg )
tengusaur (04:52:56): * Asagi: "I'll keep them occupied while everyone clears the area." Blue One draws its katana, points forward with it, and then rushes in, slashing at ghosts with wide strikes (both bedsheet and Seeker alike) it meets on the way as it passes by! +
VJockey (04:53:58): Flying blue glowy balls.
VJockey (04:54:40): Selena's stealth Boomerang sends one of these flying off into the distance though.
aldo salt (04:55:15): "Think, Dido, think–!" She mutters. "Sparks…sparks are energy current, balls of sentience that are contained within Cybertronian bodies…and their Matrix thingy! So…we need to make some kind of spark container?"
VJockey (04:55:20): Izuru's own attack sends it bouncing into the ground like a basket ball.
VJockey (04:55:24): *another one
aldo salt (04:55:36): "Guys!" She says to everyone else. "We need to experiment!"
VJockey (04:57:13): Jen! The Grenade sends the skellies wildy off course in a giant snowball, with the few remaining confusedly flying around and instead more interested in clattering and flying into each other.
frifreeman (04:58:29): Walt: "What power!" Overwhelmed by bonerain, Walt hugs one of the skeleton with his genoace, before pushing it forward and falling down, but not before opening the cockpit and jumping out of it!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:59:30): Izuru: "Mr Walt, what are you doing?"
aldo salt (05:00:07): Dido notices the fact that the Sparks are shaped like glowing balls…Blue Balls. "Ah!" She shouts. "No, keep it together, Dido…!"
frifreeman (05:02:15): Walt: "Sorry to worry you. I did everything I could."
cubey@aol.pl (05:02:58): Izuru: "Don't give up! Even Asagi is giving his all and he's afraid of ghosts!"
tengusaur (05:03:11): Asagi: "I'm not!"
aldo salt (05:04:43): "Don't worry, Asagi!" Dido stammers. "It's okay to be scared of ghosts! Like I told Sielje, it's Halloween…and on Halloween, being sacred is a privilege!"
VJockey (05:05:58): Walt! You land safely in the snow as the Skellington your Genoace hugged...
peter kampschroeder (05:06:47): Jen: "...I need to stop going places with you people."
VJockey (05:07:01): awkwardly hugged it back before both it and the MS fell over. Then one of the bones flew into it and they both exploded far harder than one could conceivably believe it should.
VJockey (05:07:25): Somehow you're safe. Though the Spooky ghosts were still surrounding you going 'Wooooo'
tengusaur (05:08:15): Asagi: "What makes you think I'm afraid of gh-" He notices Walt's predicament. "Crap."
VJockey (05:09:05): (Jen, Dido, Walt. Go)
peter kampschroeder (05:09:32): (Current enemies?)
frifreeman (05:09:45): Walt came back. This time with a white genoace-custom that he got out of nowhere!
VJockey (05:10:18): There was snow, it was probably camofladged
VJockey (05:10:58): (Enemies: Ghost Pumpkin King Starscream, Ghost Seekers (Spark Form)x 11, Animatronic Skellingtons x4, Spooky Ghosts x5)
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:00): Izuru: "That's a lot of genoaces."
frifreeman (05:11:02): Walt: "Thankfully I found this parked nearby. Ugh, the output is three times what I'm used to! I hope it'd be alright."
tengusaur (05:11:22): Asagi: "...It was hidden there all along?"
Wyverncakes (05:12:01): Selena: "That looks familiar for some reason..."
VJockey (05:12:20): Asagi! Your Katana splits a pair of Spooky Ghosts in half. They give you a rather depressed sounding 'Wooooo' before they blip out of existence.
aldo salt (05:13:47): *Dido fiddles with ShelLancer's settings, then launches a volley of Arc Thorns that lands in clusters surrounding the Spark Ghosts! She levels her swords, zapping one cluster of Thorns with a negatively charged lightning bolt…then the other cluster with a positive charge! "Let's see if Cybertronian sparks have polarity!"+
frifreeman (05:14:03): The white custom genoace boost left and right in high speed, Walt seems to be in trouble controlling its power.
VJockey (05:15:16): Dido! The differing charge is sending the sparks pinballing around in the 'capture field'! Though something odd is happening with them...
frifreeman (05:15:18): Walt: "The power.... is overwhelming!"
peter kampschroeder (05:15:24): *"I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to shoot sparks!" Crushing decepticon souls sounds a bit harsh, after all. So instead Jen keeps firing on the skellingtons where she can, but moves to attack some of the spooky ghosts with her beam spear!+
VJockey (05:15:33): What are the current thoughts in everyone's minds?
frifreeman (05:16:38): This is what walt is thinking
frifreeman (05:17:28): Walt's mind: "Vampires... can be killed with wooden stakes. Because vampires are undead that used to be biological creature. That means... for undead that's used to be robots...."
frifreeman (05:17:53): Walt: "Metal stake should work!" Walt pulls his heat stake and attempts to stab ghost!starscream with it.+
peter kampschroeder (05:17:58): Jen: "Why does this keep happening to me? Was I a horrible sexkiller in a previous life? Does god not want me to get laid? Please, let bullets work."
VJockey (05:17:59): Jen! The remaining Skellingtons blow up, however rather than immediately homing in on you they swarm together to create a localized bonerricane and launch themselves at you while the skulls chatter away. Another Spooky Ghost is speared, leaving only two... which are now rapidly circling around you in an attempt to absolutely baffle your vision. React.
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:19): Izuru: "Even more ghosts! WHy can't we meet some nice ghosts for a change?"
Wyverncakes (05:19:03): # Jen
VJockey (05:19:09): (approved)
Wyverncakes (05:19:53): "Well Izuru, we could always take the chance and become them ourselves, but I'd rather not take any risks along those lines,"
tengusaur (05:20:04): Asagi: "Why would a metal stake work. It's just a normal weapon..." He's thinking that he's surrounded by weirdoes. Izuru's not helping.
VJockey (05:20:13): Walt! Starscream actually cringes in fear, bringing his hands up in front of him and hopping to one foot on his pumpkin throne. Except the stake goes right through him because. Right. Ghost. It does punch into his ride though and the angry face becomes very sad.
Wyverncakes (05:20:15): * Instead the Soleares lunges at one of the ghosts circling Jen, Sol Razors slashing at its head and body!+
aldo salt (05:20:29): Dido's Inner Stream of Thought: "Don't barf, don't barf! I feel hungry, wish I kept that apple… what would be a good ninja one-liner to finish off Starscream with? 'Be banished to space! In space no one can hear you Starscream!' Nice…"
VJockey (05:20:44): Well
VJockey (05:20:55): because of all of that.
VJockey (05:21:10): as well as Dido's polarity action
VJockey (05:21:48): the seeker sparks have somehow all manifested into a single entity. It was a giant ghostly apple with a halo on it with a chastity belt.
VJockey (05:21:50): What.
Wyverncakes (05:21:56): Selena's thoughts: "What I'd give to see Jelba's ghosts..."
Wyverncakes (05:22:17): "... Setsuko got her own team back in at least some form."
tengusaur (05:22:18): Asagi: "...What."
Wyverncakes (05:22:29): Selena's voice: "What."
VJockey (05:22:39): Even Starscream is rendered speechless at this.
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:10): Izuru: "Eh?"
aldo salt (05:23:12): Dido: "Uh…wha…?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:13): Izuru: "Eeeh?"
peter kampschroeder (05:23:47): *Jen tackles the oncoming attacks as fast as she can! The ghosts get sliced at, whatever random bones she can pick out are shot, and then Jen dive-rolls under the boneicane to try to avoid more damage. This brings her to see the new boss monster. "...Ah."+
tengusaur (05:23:59): Asagi: "What is this! And why is it wearing a..."
peter kampschroeder (05:24:11): Jen: "...We meet again."
VJockey (05:24:23): Between Selena and Jen all that is left on the field is...
tengusaur (05:24:34): Asagi: "Again? You know what this is?'
VJockey (05:25:02): (Enemies: Pumpkin King Ghost Starscream on his sad Pumpkin (damaged), The Manifestation of everyone's immediate thoughts at the time)
VJockey (05:25:29): (Rabbits and survivor)
peter kampschroeder (05:25:42): Jen: "Don't ask."
Wyverncakes (05:25:52): Selena: "... Whatever it is..."
Wyverncakes (05:26:03): * Soleares pulls out its Blade Railgun, firing right into the Manifestation.+
tengusaur (05:27:48): Asagi: "Not going to. Let's take a slice off this apple." Luckily Blue One is armed just with the weapon for that! Going right above the ground, the AHSMB moves in close, and then raises quickly, delivering a wide, upwards slash to the manifestation, followed by a second strike as it drops lower again! +
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:00): Izuru: "At least it's not another pumpkin!"
tengusaur (05:28:23): Asagi: "How is a pumpkin worse than an apple?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:28:55): *Red Five charges forward - as Asagi slices up, Izuru lunges low by his side while firing the chaingun forward, and follows up with a strike of his own, a cross slash of the two!+
VJockey (05:30:27): Rabbits and Survivor! The apple is shot repeatedly. However as you attack it... it brings out a ... stake? Sword? Swordstake? Doomswake! to counter your weapons! It had this to say.
VJockey (05:30:35): "Blaah!"
VJockey (05:31:30): It was said in a rather familiar voice to Selena as a mouth opened revealing fangs before a gigantic tide of apple mush was projectile vomited at the ASHMBs REACT!
Wyverncakes (05:31:39): Selena: "What the-?!?"
frifreeman (05:32:15): Walt:"Whoever thought this creature up is a disturbing, completely perverse individual."
VJockey (05:32:16): (Walt, Dido, Jen)
peter kampschroeder (05:32:22): Jen: "At least it's not a tentacle beast."
Wyverncakes (05:32:33): Elma: "Vocal waves match. Selena... it's a dead ringer for Albhard!"
Wyverncakes (05:32:35): ...
tengusaur (05:32:38): Asagi: "Don't jinx it!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:32:56): Izuru: "Asagi, up!"
Wyverncakes (05:32:57): ... "Oh it'll be dead alright."
cubey@aol.pl (05:33:22): *The best way to evade the apple vomit is to go in the opposite direction - which means above, but Izuru continues to slash as he does so.+
peter kampschroeder (05:33:37): *Jen: "It's okay, I'm sure you boys can handle it." Saying this, she shoots at Starscream instead.+
frifreeman (05:33:39): Walt: "No Selena! What if... it really is Albhard trying to contact us from beyond the veil!?"
tengusaur (05:33:52): * Blue One quickly raises, trying to get over the gigantic apple and on its other side. Asagi doesn't have any weapons that could defend against this, but he does have the energy shield. +
aldo salt (05:35:05): *"Alright," Dido snarls. "Let's show this jar of baby food how we do things downtown!" As the apple-ghost opens its maw, Dido fires a volley of Arc Thorns inside, then raises ShelLancer's swords, firing an arc of positively charged lightning from her left, and a negatively charged bolt from her right! The streams of lightning cross as they leap towards the Arc Thorns!+
Wyverncakes (05:35:28): Selena: "... He wouldn't want to."
Wyverncakes (05:35:46): He died happy knowing he'd see Jessica again. No reason to come back for the Unity Group.
VJockey (05:38:12): Rabbit Brothers! The Apple thing is damaged further, but your attempts at evasion are stymied somewhat. There's some blockage warnings for some joints and the scent of apple mush and burned apples but that's bout all it does.
VJockey (05:38:25): Whoever has to clean that mess however will not be happy.
cubey@aol.pl (05:39:17): Izuru: "Uh oh..."
VJockey (05:39:43): Jen! Starscream gets shot at! Once again forgetting he's a ghost and jumping away from his mount. Interestingly it wobbles unsteadily during the time his feet leave it as his form destabilized momentarily into a spark before it reforms.
tengusaur (05:40:01): Asagi: "Urgh..." The smell is not doing wonders for his stomach.
frifreeman (05:41:27): Walt jump out and fire at starscream ghost with his beam gun. "Vampires... are weak against silver bullets. That's because silver purify and used as medicine. That means... Robot ghost sould be weak against beams! Because beam is used to weld robot body!"+
VJockey (05:42:14): Dido... you crossed the Streams. A large chunk of apple explodes off....
Wyverncakes (05:42:25): Elma: "Actually it was werewolves that were vulnerable to silver bullets."
Wyverncakes (05:42:34): "And really there are so many different versions of-"
Wyverncakes (05:42:37): Bonk.
Wyverncakes (05:42:46): Selena: "If it works then it works, Elma! Don't question him!"
VJockey (05:42:48): and admittedly took that chastity belt off with it. There was nothing under it of course but that did not prevent the apple from launcing itself at the Shellancer and...
VJockey (05:42:51): bouncing on it
VJockey (05:42:55): ... react?
frifreeman (05:43:09): Walt: "Gah! Too lewd!"
frifreeman (05:43:40): Also walt's reasoning is getting more and more roundabout, but robot ghost is really new region to explore here.
aldo salt (05:44:17): *"I'm not sure what this is a metaphor for!" Dido shouts. Shellancer falls back, flailing its swords at the ghostly apple as it retreats!+
VJockey (05:44:39): Walt! Admittedly you were not the first to try beaming the ghost into submission. But at that time it was supremely arrogant.
tengusaur (05:44:51): Asagi: "That's really far-fetched, Walt..."
VJockey (05:44:59): This time however given how thorougly its plans have been derailed
VJockey (05:45:26): "Cease your infernal firing at me you useless fleshling-"
VJockey (05:45:50): his attempt to dodge this time had his Pumpkin ride rattle wildly, letting out several pathetic 'Boo's
VJockey (05:45:58): before crashing into a heap.
VJockey (05:47:15): Dido! You slice off the top and bottom of the apple, sending its lower parts and the section the halo was attatched to rolling away before they poof into non-existence. However in revenge it pukes more apple mush at you. Its mostly harmless...
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:15): Izuru: "Look, it worked!"
VJockey (05:47:17): sort of.
cubey@aol.pl (05:47:23): # Dido
VJockey (05:47:30): (approved)
cubey@aol.pl (05:48:46): Izuru: "Look out!" *Red Five slams its fist into the apple from above, trying to shut its familiar-sounding, mush-belching mouth. But the real effect of the support comes not from the punch itself, but from Izuru extending the energy barrier from Red Five's fist!+
aldo salt (05:49:09): *"Oh Fudge-Skittles…the aroma!" Dido claps a hand to her bulging mouth. "Breath, breath…"+
VJockey (05:49:27): Izuru!....
VJockey (05:49:42): Your punch and shutting the apple's mouth...
VJockey (05:49:45): make it explode.
VJockey (05:50:11): the sparks that made the thing go flying all over the place before deciding they simply have had enough and leave!
VJockey (05:50:16): Meaning...
VJockey (05:50:29): "NO! COME BACK YOU FOOLS! WE CAN STILL WIN! GET BACK HEEEERE!"
VJockey (05:50:50): Only Starscream's Ghost was left.
cubey@aol.pl (05:51:06): Izuru: "Take that, apple! We did it!"
Wyverncakes (05:51:20): Selena: "... Adios."
peter kampschroeder (05:51:26): Jen: "Yeah!"
aldo salt (05:51:32): Dido's stomach subsides. "Bless you, Izuru…you're truly the Hero of Halloween!"
VJockey (05:52:49): Starscream shakes his fist at all of you.
tengusaur (05:53:04): Asagi: "I get the feeling whoever is going to clean the AHSMBs won't be very happy about this."
cubey@aol.pl (05:53:11): Izuru: "Yeah... yeah, I guess! We can all save Halloween still!"
VJockey (05:53:15): "Do you think you have won fleshlings?! I can still defeat you!"
VJockey (05:53:23): "Graaaah!"
tengusaur (05:53:28): Asagi: "But for now..." Blue One points its gun in the direction of Starscream's ghost.
aldo salt (05:53:29): "That'd be me," Dido says. "And no, I won't be happy."
VJockey (05:53:54): Starscream's ghost grows in size.... before it just pops like a balloon into its spark form as it lost coherence.
VJockey (05:54:23): "....You would not shoot a spark would you?"
peter kampschroeder (05:54:42): Jen aims her rifle.
Wyverncakes (05:54:50): Selena does as well.
VJockey (05:54:55): Clearly with his last gambit failed he's just resorting to cowardice
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:40): Izuru: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:55:49): Izuru: "You know... Megatron's dead."
aldo salt (05:56:14): Dido locks onto Starscream with all her Arc Thorns.
cubey@aol.pl (05:56:19): Izuru: "It's not that you have a Decepticon country to be a king of or anything. There was even a peace treaty signed and everything."
VJockey (05:56:21): "...What?!"
VJockey (05:56:26): "WHAT?!"
VJockey (05:56:42): "If he's dead... HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO HAVE MY REVENGE?!"
VJockey (05:56:50): "NO! EVERYTHING IS RUINED NOW!"
Wyverncakes (05:57:03): Selena: "Well you could always find his spark in your own afterlife and do it there."
Wyverncakes (05:57:16): "We'll even be happy to send you to meet him." What with the guns and all.
tengusaur (05:57:21): Asagi: "Don't encourage him."
cubey@aol.pl (05:57:38): Izuru: "Look, it's working! He'll pass away, just like those ghosts back then with Fyra." He talks to others at his side, not to Starscream.
aldo salt (05:57:39): Dido: "Be a go-getter, Starscream! Send Megatron to the afterlife after the afterlife!"
VJockey (05:58:11): There's silence...
VJockey (05:58:12): then
peter kampschroeder (05:58:14): Jen: "I think that's just double hell."
VJockey (05:58:16): laughter.
VJockey (05:58:41): "Yes. YES! THAT IS RIGHT! I CAN STILL HAVE MY REVENGE! AND THEN I CAN RULE OVER THE PIT ITSELF ONCE I AM DONE!"
VJockey (05:59:02): "DO YOUR WORST FLESHLINGS! I AM READY! BWAHAHAHAHA-"
frifreeman (05:59:12): Walt: "If faith to God can drive human ghost because God creates human, that means, faith to science can drive robot ghosts, because science creates robots. And what's better proof on faith to science other than using guns to shoot stuffs."
VJockey (05:59:13): Feel free to shoot Starscream.
peter kampschroeder (05:59:23): Jen shoots!
frifreeman (05:59:24): So walt shoots starscream.+
Wyverncakes (05:59:38): Selena shoots with extreme prejudice.+
peter kampschroeder (05:59:45): Jen: "I have no idea what you are talking about."
aldo salt (06:00:12): *Dido fires Arc Thorns, then zaps them with streams of lightning…that cross!+
tengusaur (06:00:26): Asagi: "...This is crazy." He fires a few blasts at Starscream. +
cubey@aol.pl (06:00:37): *Even though he was trying to use his words, Izuru doesn't stop from firing either.+
VJockey (06:01:38): ... and then they shot him.
VJockey (06:01:53): When the smoke clears the Spark is still hanging there.
VJockey (06:02:13): "...Are you that Incompetent that you cannot even shoot me when I am letting you-?!"
VJockey (06:02:16): -POOF-
VJockey (06:02:56): And with that sorted out the atmosphere normalizes and the previously shut off lights return back to normal.
VJockey (06:03:03): And the crowd of civilians?
VJockey (06:03:14): They're just applauding.
VJockey (06:03:30): Whether they're thankful for their lives being saved or they thought it was a show is hard to tell.
aldo salt (06:03:30): Dido : "Dammit, Starscream how did you become immortal–? Oh. Phew."
tengusaur (06:04:22): Asagi: "...Did they even realize their lives were in danger?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:36): Izuru: "He's not coming back, is he?"
cubey@aol.pl (06:04:44): That was too much excitement for one Halloween...
peter kampschroeder (06:05:28): Jen: "So we're never talking about this again, right?"
VJockey (06:05:32): despite any damage that has happened, the Party is starting to go back into full swing
VJockey (06:05:37): MISSION COMPLETE.
frifreeman (06:06:05): Walt:"Well this proof one thing"
frifreeman (06:06:31): Walt: "Eternal rest is a lie and what waiting for us is an eterntiy of anguish envying the living."
frifreeman (06:06:41): Walt laughs.
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:41): Izuru: "Why wouldn't we? It was..."
cubey@aol.pl (06:06:43): "An adventure!"
aldo salt (06:08:18): Dido: "…on the bright side, I have another Halloween story to tell besides that blue ball one…!"
aldo salt (06:08:24): "…sorry, Jen."
cubey@aol.pl (06:08:41): Izuru: "Blue balls, what?" He's not sure if he wants to hear it.
peter kampschroeder (06:09:03): Silent, angry fuming.
