Mission 153: "Tarnished Factory" part 2

[srwuga_mods]

Aero: [Everyone Else.] Once you enter the factory you find it...almost abandoned. The lights are flickering on and off and the only path you can see is a very long winding one.
tengusaur: Werter: "Could this get any more ominous?"
Aero: Josh once you entered the factory the Sympathia died down.
Wyverncakes: Which is good, because Josh had been on the verge of just shtting the damn system off.
Wyverncakes: "It's how they roll. Get us off-guard, and use that energy to help give them an edge."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Literal fear junkies..."
tengusaur: Werter: "They will need more than an edge if they keep fighting at the same level as on the surface."
Aero: There's a small Sympathia spark, if you want to find them you're going to have to lead Josh.
Aero: MEANWHILE ON THE SURFACE
Wyverncakes: Josh: "... I've got a signal."
Aero: Natasha: "Well it's a good thing I have a solution to this problem."
Wyverncakes: "Could be a trap, but it's the only lead we've got. Keep me covered."
Aero: Natasha: "Lev Aklina keep that one away from our fight at all costs."
Wyverncakes: And with that the Geant takes point as it moves through the paths.
tengusaur: Werter: "Only something you can detect, I assume. I've got your back."
Corel: Muginami: "Alright. Lead the way."
VJockey: "!!! They... here too..?!"
Aero: [Vlaska] With just those words Natasha charges STRAIGHT at you Vlaska a pair of her wing blades drawn. [React]
Overman Zappa: #(Vlaska)
Aero: (Approved)
tengusaur: Prometheus follows the Geant, lighting the darkness of the corridor a bit with the green fires in its eyes.
VJockey: [Will react after support]
HyprKnux 1: As does the Mazinger-Z, not stopping
Overman Zappa: *"CAST OFF!" The cross on Technica's chest opens up, four extra limb-like extensions bursting open as the machine takes an orange glow (yes, a bootleg Trans Am!, and Tieria's missing it) Using the 4 wire-linked arms, they raise up to grab and hold back the arms of Natasha's machine +
Aero: It's sudden but as the lights flicker on and off. For an instance that just lasted a bit longer Muginami was suddenly gone from the group.
Aero: You all hear a loud crash and you can see a large in the wall.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Huh?! What's going...?" Kouji looks behind him and... no Mugi!
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Mugi!"
Wyverncakes: And he's gonna try to use his powers to get a fix on where Mugi might be. She couldn't have just teleported away!
Aero: [Muginami] You were suddenly tackled and dragged away from the group as the lights flicker on and off you can see the colour of the machine. Very red and orange.
Aero: The same thing happens again
tengusaur: Werter: "What the... She couldn't just crash in an empty corridor!"
Aero: And suddenly Kouji is gone as well.
Aero: Luckily Mazinger Z was not as easily stolen and there was a VERY loud crashing noise.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Gya--!"
Corel: Muginami: "Ehh?! Get off-!!"
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Werter, try to get a barrier up!"
tengusaur: Werter: "Damnit... We need to find out where they're gone!"
tengusaur: Prometheus raises a hand, creating a plasma field around whoever is left. A spiked plasma field, even. Crash into that!
Aero: Werter several...Hydra? heads crash out from another one of the walls and wrap around the spiked barrier. Even with the spikes piercing them they don't seem to care. All they wanted to do is drag you away.
Aero: Castellan, Tieria the two of you as well are dragged away through the walls. And soon enough Josh is left on his own
tengusaur: Werter: "Here it i- ghh!"
Wyverncakes: And Josh is just doing what he can to reassure himself that this is all just psychological warfare.
Wyverncakes: And so long as he can still sense the thought patterns of everyone they were okay.
Aero: Of course Josh at the worst possible moment the Sympathia skyrockets again.
killemallslayn: Castellan: Careful with the paint job or I'll get angry.
Wyverncakes: Aaaaand then-
Wyverncakes: "... GAAAAAAAAAH!"
Aero: [Everyone else you are all dropped off in separate locations.]
killemallslayn: The Onslaught offers no resistance to being dragged away for now.
Aero: You can now see the enemies that nabbed you.
Aero: [Muginami] (Link: http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/impetus.html)http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/impetus.html
Aero: [Werter] (Link: http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/wiora_keum.html)http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/wiora_keum.html
Aero: [Castellan and Tieria] (Link: http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/priscusnox.html)http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/priscusnox.html
Aero: [Kouji] (Link: http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/fortisala.html)http://srwog.velv.net/og_mecha/fortisala.html
Aero: [Muginami] Hoho so you're the Vox of Flame huh.
killemallslayn: Castellan: Greetings fellow camper, fancy meeting you in this dark side of the world.
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria: Likewise. Somehow I'm not surprised by this.
Aero: Umbra: "You seem quite calm human.."
Aero: Josh are you going to follow the trail now that you know exactly where Glacies and Rim are?
Wyverncakes: Unfortunately at this point in time there's not much he *can* do
tengusaur: Werter: "A one-on-one duel, huh? How cliche..."
Wyverncakes: And try to hope for the best.
Aero: Contagio: "Better than leaving you to fight together."
Aero: Werter you see a...lizardman?
Aero: His skin was green at least
tengusaur: Werter: "Hey, it's a manned unit."
killemallslayn: Castellan: "Pleased to meet your acquaintance. I figure if somethings going to happen to me, I may as well make the best of it."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Never seen you guys until today. What's the deal?"
Corel: Muginami takes a while to gather her bearings, but... "That's right. And you are?"
tengusaur: Werter: "If you know what's best for you, you'll get out of my way. I have the others to find."
Aero: [Kouji] Aquila: "I apologize for our rather rude ambush but there was no other way to separate you."
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria: "I'm just not going to worry too much about the details."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Heh, fear what we can do as a team? Don't worry, we won't disappoint alone!"
Aero: Josh when you reach the end of the path you find Strega, Fabularis, and another Melior Esse that you don't recognize.
Aero: The Strega is standing right next to Fabularis though....
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Rim!"
Wyverncakes: ... And leave it to Glacies to be laying in wait for him as well.
Aero: (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84lGS4sGg2w)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84lGS4sGg2w
Wyverncakes: "... And it's you too. Needing a friend to back you up on top of cutting everyone off from each other?"
Aero: Glacies: "I won't be fighting you right now Joshua Radcliffe."
killemallslayn: one second
killemallslayn: i need to youtube repeat heavy static
Aero: (Wrong chat bro)
killemallslayn: (my bad)
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Well it's not in your MO to be throwing surprise birthday parties."
Aero: And once she says that Josh Strega pounces on you. Trying to bring down the Stun Fist on the weak Aile Chevalier center. [REACT]
Wyverncakes: "And if you think Rim will- FUCK!"
Wyverncakes: * Oh he was eating his words right now. It was all the Aile-tastic core of the Geant could do to pull out a Cypher blade and try to parry the fist!+
Aero: [MarKus] All four wired arms are deflected away by another machine that looked a lot like Vlaska's. Once they are deflected safely away another one grabs onto the wires and tosses you far away from the fight. "We just have to intercept this moron? No problem."
Aero: [Josh] And it's successfully parried, you both seem to be in a deadlock. You can hear Rim's voice at the very least. "For.....the King...of Destruction."
VJockey: *Vlaska in the meantime brings up his claws in an attempt to parry the swords away and back off!+
Aero: (Initiative: Markus, Vlaska, Josh, Muginami, Werter, Kouji, Tieria, Castellan, )
Wyverncakes: And suddenly it all starts to click for Josh.
Aero: (Enemy Line Up: Fortis Ala (Aquila), Violaceum (Contagio), Impetus (Ignis), Priscus Nox (Umbra) Strega (Rim?))
Overman Zappa: MarKus: "Gah! The hell... Fucking dopplepopplous bullshit!!"
Aero: (Yellow Enemies: Natasha, Lev, Aklina.)
Wyverncakes: "... Sympathia System got you too, didn't it?"
Wyverncakes: "And here I thought I wouldn't get madder at anyone today than I did when Natasha said all that shit before. Big mistake on my part."
Aero: Glacies: "She's always been one of us Joshua Radcliffe."
Aero: [Vlaska] With an attack like that you were making it very easy for Natasha. Already one of her blades slices through the right hand of your machine. "Vlaska if you don't take this seriously you won't win."
Aero: (Markus, Vlaska go)
Aero: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgSgVR-1eI0)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgSgVR-1eI0
Aero: ((Sorry forgot
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Like hell! The seal wasn't broken until last year, so unless you've been doing some time travelling I don't see how that's possible!"
Aero: Glacies: "You really don't get it do you, Liana...that personality was always a Melior Esse."
Overman Zappa: *Much like the counterfiet TransAm that it is, the Technica has all that spiffy increased speed, and singles out one of the other machines (Lev, since IDK what these things look like, so yeah), and charges in swinging beam axe and saber as it moves past +
Wyverncakes: "... So where's Chris during all of this then?!?"
Aero: Liana?: "Sym...pathia...."
VJockey: [The Slava staggers back, energy crackling from the split in its arm.] "Vlaska.... won't... you..." *His collar crackles wildly before he leaps into the air, the knuckle on the left Charging up to deliver a massive hammerblow downwards!+
Overman Zappa: MarKus: "TAKE HER OUT KITTY!"
Aero: [MarKus] And...they back off from your swings? They were definitely really fast, keeping up with your fake TransAm. Since you just attacked the defensive one it leaves your back wide open to the other who was coming to shove a sword into your rear. [React]
Aero: [Natasha] As expected Natasha easily backflips away rather gracefully from the blow. When you look up Vlaska you can see all of her wing blades pointed at you for only a split second before they all fire out. [React]
Aero: [Josh, Muginami, Werter go]
Overman Zappa: *Haha! Not if he flips right over, and doubles back, right? That'll work, just totally head right backinto the one charging and meet it's sword with his; relying purely on DUMBASS LUCK! +
Wyverncakes: * In spite of the Geant's firepower, Josh knew he was at a bit of a handicap here... and more importantly he really owed Glacies a slow and painful death for this all. "Rim... Chris... fuck, even Liana... This is gonna hurt me a lot more than it hurts you!" And the Geant's meaty drill began to spin rapidly before he fired it at the Strega &
tengusaur: * "Let's roll out the big guns. Literally!" Werter braces against the ground and aims Prometheus' drill lance at the mechanical monster in front of him, which splits in two, energy charging between the spinning halves! After enough of it has accumulated the wave motion cannon fires, launching a huge spiral-shaped green plasma beam at Violaceum! +
VJockey: Vlaska: !!!!!! *Vlaska's going to do his best to dodge! With how sluggish his machine is he has to kick in HIS Not-TransAm to keep up! And even then his avoidance would just barely be enough!+
Corel: Muginami: *Just from the looks of it that enemy seems...fiery. Her hands tighten around the controls. "...Let's do this, Huupo!" And the Vox that actually shares its name with the enemy pilot charges forward, firing two shots from its combined cannon/sword as it approaches!+
Aero: [MarKus] "Just kidding." She drops her charge and begins to fall. Turns out both of them had these swords. And one just went right through your thrusters causing you to fall right towards the other awating blade. [React]
Corel: (My mistake, that was supposed to be an & for Mugi)
Aero: [Vlaska] Your reactions aren't keeping up with you. By the time you start moving several swords have already impaled the machine. Your systems are going wild now.
Overman Zappa: *Still more thrusters, right? Not like hes' only got ONE. But on the ground, he's got four swanky wire-arms to block for him. And should his luck like to increase, they'll wrap around the blade and hold it in place &? (otherwise+)
VJockey: And its an absolute bitch to try keep up with things as well. Normally the pressure of using the Svet kicks in after a while... but right now Vlaska's feeling the crushing force just using it for less than a minute!
Aero: [Muginami] GUESS WHAT HE FIRES TWO HUGE PILLARS OF FIRE AT YOU. The fire itself eats up your shots and is now headed right for you! [React then Continue]
Corel: Muginami: *Gonna suddenly shift directions to the side now, because Voxes are agile enough to! If there's a wall nearby, she'll rebound off of that to strike the Impetus with her blade, hopefully before it gets the chance to turn those flames at her again! If there's no wall, a quick flip into Piercer Mode change will do!+
Aero: [Josh] The big meaty drill claw slams into Strega knocking the machine back however it doesn't seems to have damaged it much. You're not going all out here and the Melior Esse Liana is going to take advantage of that. "...Lightning...Vice." She presses both fists into claw and emits a huge surge of electricity out through it to you. [React]
Wyverncakes: * And Josh is just gonna... power through the shock as much as he can! "You... aren't... WHO I'M AFTER!" And the Geant then turns and spins, aiming to smash the Strega into a wall... but that's not all, because the Aile ejects from the Geant and lunges at the Fabularis with all its strength! "Glacies! You said you weren't going to fight me...? WELL TOO BAD!"+
Aero: [Werter] Violaceum responds with it's own projectile weapon a very corrosive breath weapon. When they meet surprisingly the breath was actually able to push back your drill motion cannon for a second before a large explosion erupts from the middle. Werter parts of Prometheus are beginning to corrode away. If you look over to Contagio he's missing one of the heads of his machines. However the others are all now coming towards you. [React]
Aero: [Kouji, Tieria, Castellan go]
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "If this is how it's going to be, then I'm ready for you. Mazinger-Z will be your opponent!" His opponent's a flyer, so Mazinger-Z'll come off the ground as well, racing at the Fortis Ala to grapple and pummel him senseless!+
Aero: [Muginami] There is a wall and indeed the Vox is fast enough to evade that. The blade strikes through the chest of Impetus but Ignis is just laughing. "Hahahahaha good you can deal with that HOW ABOUT I TURN UP THE HEAT." The amount of flames he was emitting was greatly increased. The entire room was like an oven now and he was pointing those emitters at you again. [React
tengusaur: * "Tch...! What is this? Some kind of disease-based weapon...?" Werter jumps high up, spreading Prometheus' energy wings and dashing in mid-air several times into different directions, before finally landing on the floor away from the enemy. He doesn't want to get his further by the corrossive attack, or by the hydra heads!+
Aero: Contagio: "WHAT'S WRONG HUMAN DON'T YOU LIKE MY PETS."
killemallslayn: Castellan: *"Please have mercy, I'm just a lowly human." and with that the Onslaught fires a single laser shot from the Karasawa however senses are kept sharp. His attempt is to probe the capabilities of his foe rather than blindly charging in.+
tengusaur: Werter: "What kind of a madman would keep pets like those?"
Aero: [Josh] Strega crashes though it but you're sure that wasn't the end of her. Fabularis forms a blade of ice and parries your Cypher. With her other arm she forms what seemed like dozens of ice shards which where now crashing down on you. [React]
Wyverncakes: * "Well look at that! Guess you weren't too opposed to fighting me!" Josh snaps angrily as he pulls out his second Cypher, switching them to whip mode before letting both of the blades sweep up into the shards to cut them apart!+
Wyverncakes: "So let's hear it, Glacies!"
Aero: [Kouji] You manage to grapple him but he doesn't seem that concerned. "Straightforward aren't you Kabuto Kouji. Allow me to return the favour." Kouji you see a missiles port open...then another one opens...in fact he just opened about a thousand of them and he's going to fire all of them at you while you were together. [REACT]
Wyverncakes: "I screw you up when we synched the same way you did?"
Corel: Muginami: *"I'm just getting started too! --Gooo!!" The Vox will bring up its energy shield to defend against the flames- It's still going to try to push through!+
Aero: Glacies: "S-shut up!"
Aero: [Josh] All of the shards are whipped apart causing just the remaining dust to begin to fall on your fight. In case you didn't notice your Sympathia is doing that thing again.
Wyverncakes: "And finally a crack in the Ice Bitch-g-ggggrrgh!"
Wyverncakes: So much for lording this over her.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Geh... are you nuts?!" *Time to dodge all of that with a little backwards momentum, courtesy of... "BREAST FIRE! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE HEAT!" With that, Kouji pushes away and fires the chest energy attack, using it to try to evade the missiles!+
Aero: [Werter] Focusing on dodging gets you away from the Hydra heads. "You should watch your step you never know when the floor might give out." As you land the heads all breath again on the floor. It doesn't take a lot of weight for it to collapse after that sending you falling. Violaceum of course is giving chase after you with even more heads forming from the machine?. [React!]
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria: "cute." *Tieria doesn't bother with Castellan's subtlty and fires upon the enemy. There was no better way to learn about your opponent, and he was confident in his defensive capabilities.+
Aero: Glacies is holding her head also: "Melior Esse...don't have...emotions."
Aero: Glacies: "There wasn't anything for you to crack into..."
Wyverncakes: ... And that...
tengusaur: * "Damn, a smart one!" Werter cannot regain his footing very well, so he tries another thing. He desperately throws a bunch of plasma javelins, connected into pairs with lines! From each pair, one is aimed at the enemy while another one hits the ceiling, or the wall, to keep him away from Prometheus! &
tengusaur: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N5TXV8UWWI)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N5TXV8UWWI
Aero: [Tieria and Castellan] Good thing you both fired energy weapons cause Umbra is pretty good at dealing with that. The spikes around the collar of the machine detached each other them absorbing your shots within themselves before returning them twofold. [REACT]
Wyverncakes: "... But something got left there all the same, didn't it?"
Aero: Glacies: "You're grasping at straws...Joshua Radcliffe."
Wyverncakes: He groans again, wincing.
tengusaur: Werter (to himself): "If I can immobilize him for just a second...!"
Wyverncakes: "Am I? This is is going a lot father than you'd need to to get to me, isn't it?"
Wyverncakes: "You need... g-geeeh... closure!"
Aero: [MarKus] Trying to wrap wires around a blade meant to cut beams is a bad thing MarKus. Even worse when she has two of the things. Your wire arms are cut apart and she just seems to be waiting for you to make a move. [Continue]
Wyverncakes: "Because now you're feeling things you couldn't before and that's pissing you off!"
Wyverncakes: "And the fact it's pissing you off is pissing you off!"
Aero: Josh while you're busy with this Strega crashes through back to the fight and pins down the Aile.
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria: ...that's fun. Seravee is not a unit that's made for speed and agility-- not as it was at the moment, but it was far too soon. *He activates the GN field to block the shots.+
killemallslayn: Castellan: *The Onslaught steps to the side as it was fortunate to only have fired a single shot for a test run. On a seperate note, one can hear Castellan banging his head on the controls repeatedly as he immediately realizes the fight will likely cost him plenty if he has to use solids.+
Wyverncakes: Yeah, he was grasping at straws here... and when the Strega returns to the fray he can only cry out again as the Aile's smashed to the ground.
Wyverncakes: "Fuck... fuck fuck!!!!!"
Overman Zappa: *He makes a move, but, not the one she's expecting. Using his good thruster, and maybe a damn good amount of force from the CANONS IN TECHNICA"S FEET, he slides along the ground, driving himself toward Natasha, looking to bowl her over while she's busy dealing with Vlaska, and saving the cat's hide in the process +
Aero: [Muginami.] Ignis did NOT care if you were reflecting the flames with the shield he just ups the output and Mugi there's now a fire tower beginning to erupt below you. [REACT]
Aero: [Werter] You see the main head grow out of the machine it was definitely a lot larger than the others. It devours the javelin thrown at it and is seriously coming down right on top of you. [Continue]
Corel: Muginami: *That tower can rise too. In fact, she's kinda counting on it! What Ignis probably doesn't know is that Muginami chose to discard the energy shield- which should be already overcharged from blocking all the fire anyway- to serve as a distraction! If all goes according to plan, there'll even be a believable explosion in the midst of the flames!&
tengusaur: Werter pushes up his glasses. "Gotcha."
tengusaur: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=LnQmzWbT2NQ)http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=LnQmzWbT2NQ
tengusaur: * Prometheus pulls out a huge glob of green plasma from its back generator, and shapes it into a gigantic syringe, bigger than the robot itself! Werter lifts the giant needle and stabs it straight into the Violaceum's incoming main head, and punches the pump, injecting the enemy machine with hundreds of tiny Prometheus clones made from plasma, which proceed to rip and tear at the robot's systems from the inside!+
Aero: [Tieria Castellan] Tieria you take the major brunt of the blow. If the Seravee didn't have one of the better GN Fields you would have a lot more problems right now. A lot of the shot is tanked by the GN Field but you can see that your reserves are really really low right now. It doesn't help that just from the force of the blast you were sent flying into the wall. Castellan SURPRISE Umbra was hiding under the shadow of the blast. The moment you side step a large claw tears out at you. Your left arm is now no longer part of your AC.
tengusaur: Werter: "If you wield disease, then I wield the cure!"
Aero: [Muginami] Ignis is dense enough to believe that. "Hahahahahahahahahaha THAT was the Vox of Flame what a disappointment." He's rather enjoying himself. [Continue]
Corel: Muginami: *Muginami on the other hand isn't doing anything to ruin the surprise. Hupo, now in Piercer Mode, will boost straight up and transform, dual-wielding once more to deliver strikes aimed at the Impetus' arms!+
Corel: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OokDxRMWtQU)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OokDxRMWtQU
Aero: [Kouji] A thousand missiles+Breast Fire is not a good combination. There is an absolutely gigantic explosion that rocks the entire factory. On the bright side it seems like the Melior Esse were doing a good job destroying the factory themselves. Still when the dust clears both Mazinger Z and Fortis Ala were heavily damaged. The Heat Fins on Mazinger Z have definitely seen much better days. Fortis Ala was charred nearly black.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Heh... worth it. Is that all you got?!"
Aero: Aquila: "Ha, Kabuto Kouji you don't seem to be in good shape yourself."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "As long as Mazinger-Z still stands, I'll keep fighting."
Aero: [Werter] Apparently the cure for Contagio was Plasma the machine? is being torn apart and soon it falls over. Smoke bellowing from all of the mouths.
Aero: [MarKus] You're definitely approaching Natasha. "You really don't learn do you." Unlike her earlier very warm kind voice her tone now was one of a person with a very strong murderous intent. All of her wing blades detach and begin to spin forming what seemed like dozens of buzzsaws that were all now flying towards you MarKus. [REACT]
VJockey: #MarKus
Aero: [Muginami] Caught completely off guard both of his arms are severed off. Ignis was not happy about that. "You fucking bitch."
Aero: (Approved)
Aero: MEANWHILE
Aero: WITH JOSH
Aero: Liana: "I'll...kill you...for the King of Destruction."
tengusaur: Werter: "Don't mess with human science."
tengusaur: Werter: "Can you move, Prometheus? Let's go find the others!"
Aero: Werter once you begin to try to get out you can hear a roar.
VJockey: *MarKus. You'll find that the Slava is practically burning EVERY bit of energy to knock you out ot the way and deflect the incoming buzzsaw blades with a tremendous energy wave slash!... But....+
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Liana, don't!"
Wyverncakes: "Fine, you hate me! I get that!"
Aero: Liana: "I'm....just a Melior Esse........you...hate...me."
Wyverncakes: "But you never claimed to not give a fuck about Chris-" The Aile tries to struggle...
Overman Zappa: MarKus: "VLASKA NO! DON'T BE STUPID!"
Wyverncakes: "And she wouldn't want you to do this!"
Wyverncakes: "And you're a billion times better than the Ruina!"
Wyverncakes: "... All this time, and you were fine with having emotions! Not like Glacies!"
Wyverncakes: And the Aile then tries to point in the general direction of the Fabularis.
Wyverncakes: "She suddenly gets a conscience and maybe an ability to empathize and all she wants to do is torture the person who gave it to her!"
Aero: [MarKus and Vlaska] It's too late, Slava had already been performing poorly. The buzzsaws easily cut through the energy wave. It happens within a second. The Slava is ripped to shreds by the saws. Limbs, head, even the cockpit is pierced through several times sending Vlaska out of the machine and crashing into the ground...
tengusaur: Werter: "What the...?!"
Aero: Liana: "Josh...I...I...AHHHHHHHHHHHH." Now Rim's Sympathia goes off as well.
Aero: Josh this also causes yours to synchronize with the others including the black machine that was apparently powering all of this.
Overman Zappa: MarKus does the dumbest thing ever and bails out of the machine, charging out to go check on the cat! Yeah, it's stupid, but... he is too!
Wyverncakes: Whee, another round of mind-numbing pain!
Aero: Contagio: "Hehehehe regenerative properties. It's quite useful."
Aero: Everyone else
Aero: All of your enemies seem to be reacting to something.
tengusaur: Werter: "You just don't know when to give up, do you..."
VJockey: Vlaska struggles to get up... weak... he feels so weak......
Aero: Contagio: "Well that's the end of our fight then."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "What the...?"
Aero: Contagio: "Very well fought human I'll be sure to kill you next time."
Aero: And off goes Contagio to slither away somewhere
Aero: Umbra: "The goal has been achieved...exiting."
Aero: Umbra disappears as well.
Aero: Aquila: "Our battle will have to end here Kabuto Kouji. I apologize."
tengusaur: Werter: "Not if I... Damn, no time to be chasing after him now. I need to find the others!"
Aero: Ignis: "I'll be back for you count on it."
killemallslayn: Castellan: "Wut I don't even get a chance to move? That's pretty cheap"
Aero: And the last enemy leaves.
Corel: Muginami: "...Huh?"
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Wait... tch. The hell's going on?!"
HyprKnux 1: Mazinger-Z might be not in the best of shapes, but there's something going on and Kouji needs to find it!
Aero: The lights in the factory all turn on illuminating the area
Overman Zappa: And this is why he headed out to check on the cat on foot. No trickes or buckles this time, just some kid in a BMX outfit and a painted helmet. Of course he's in blatant danger, but, there's an intelligent cat at stake. LIVING SCIENCE, if someone else were here.
Aero: You can all see a very strange glow coming from the end of the factory.
Aero: Natasha: "...I'm so sorry Vlaska...but this is for the future. You'll understand one day."
Aero: Natasha leaves along with the other two keeping her word at the very least.
tengusaur: Werter: "Even if the other guys are not there already, I'm sure that'll lure them in. Let's go!"
Aero: Josh you can hear Glacies' most inner thoughts.
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria: "More than cheap." he was less than pleased with the development, however. It couldn't have been that simple...
VJockey: "N...Ntsh'...aa..-KZZzzzZzzchtrrrk-"
Aero: Glacies: "I don't want...please save me...Josh."
VJockey: Vlaska is stumbling in the direction Natasha and company left, mewling helplessly. No... they can't... no... .don't go... don't...
VJockey: he collapses
Wyverncakes: Josh: "... Look at that."
Wyverncakes: (Can the Aile move?)
Aero: Only barely
Wyverncakes: (Good enough)
Overman Zappa: MarKus slides over and scoops up the cat. "C'mon... You're not dying here cat! Hell no!"
Aero: At the same time you can hear her other personality.
Wyverncakes: "Glacies!"
Wyverncakes: "Though..."
Wyverncakes: Wait...
Aero: Glacies: "No I have to...self destruct....for the King of Destruction."
Aero: She's giving you mixed signals here.
Wyverncakes: What was that name that one of the Ruina had called her?
Wyverncakes: He was running off of second-hand information here that was six months old at the very least.
Aero: Chris: "B-big brother...what's...happening."
Wyverncakes: "... Lacie."
Aero: AND TO COMPILE THE PROBLEM
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Chris!"
Wyverncakes: "It's... it's Glacies. She's..."
Aero: Everyone else will now arrive on time to see the four machines absolutely crippled. There's also a self destruct timer starting. WONDERFUL TIMES.
Wyverncakes: "... She's like you."
Wyverncakes: "And this King of Destruction or Ruin or whatever..."
Wyverncakes: "... He's reminding me a lot of my dad right now"
Aero: Ventus: "Joshua Radcliffe. If you cut off the Sympathia you can stop this now."
Wyverncakes: "What?!?"
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "...what the?"
Wyverncakes: "You?!?"
Wyverncakes: "Finally deciding to stop standing around?"
Aero: Ventus: "I have to apologize...The King of Destruction was channeling himself through me to the girl with two souls.
VJockey: Vlaska's not saying anything MarKus. All he's doing is meowing frantically, as if calling for his owner to come back.
Overman Zappa: MarKus doesn't know THAT much, but the meowing likely means pain, and surely against his wishes, he's taking the cat back to his machine.
tengusaur: Werter: "Josh! We'll need to get out of here soon!"
Aero: Ventus: "Alternatively you could just kill me...but that would also kill Glacies."
killemallslayn: Castellan: "Need a hand?" The Onslaught waves its detatched arm at the 4 cripples with its usable one.
Aero: Ventus: "I'm sure it would stop the explosion though."
Wyverncakes: And then... Josh finds himself saying something he never thought he would.
Wyverncakes: "... I'm not going to kill her."
Wyverncakes: "She's just been a doll all this time."
Wyverncakes: "... A plaything of your King."
Wyverncakes: "I turned on my old man for the shit he put Rim through, whether she tolerated it or not."
Wyverncakes: "Killing her would be like killing Rim."
Aero: Liana: "You mean Chris..."
Wyverncakes: "Meaning BOTH of you!"
Wyverncakes: "You were as much a labrat to my father as she was, and I'm not going to forget that!"
Aero: The base is starting to fall apart.
Wyverncakes: And it's then that Josh opens a channel to Werter.
Aero: Ayame: "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING IN THERE IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW!?"
Wyverncakes: "Werter, just... try to get everyone out of there!"
Wyverncakes: "... I'll think of something!"
tengusaur: Werter: "Alright! You better find your way out of here as well. And Rim."
killemallslayn: Castellan: "What does it look like we're doing?" But quite frankly thats a pretty stupid question if anyone thinks about the answer.
tengusaur: Werter: "... And the other two."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "The hell...?! Not without you...!"
tengusaur: Werter: "Alright people, we're getting out of here! If you can't move fast, say it now!" He doesn't wait for a response, he's already getting out of there.
Wyverncakes: With all the strength he can put into the Aile, Josh tries to get the machine to rise up to its feet!
Wyverncakes: "Lacie!" There's that name again!
Wyverncakes: "Don't... do this!"
tengusaur: Werter: "Trust Josh, Kouji."
Wyverncakes: "There's life beyond this King of yours!"
HyprKnux 1: And, as much as he hates it, Kouji's gonna bail."
Wyverncakes: "Live for people other than someone who just uses you as a goddamn tool!"
Wyverncakes: "Starting with yourself!"
Corel: Muginami: "But we can't just...!" She stops there though...
Aero: MarKus Vlaska you two can see the others beginning to come out.
Corel: And Hupo will make its way out too!
killemallslayn: The Onslaught was long moving ahead as it didnt need to actually stand there for its pilot to converse with everyone else. Besides, his job was done.
Aero: Liana: "Josh....the Sympathia it's going higher...if we don't turn off the system we'll all...."
Aero: The Sympathia reaction is getting stronger and stronger you're finding it still hard to move Josh.
tengusaur: Werter: "Have some faith in this guy. He's better at this than he seems."
Wyverncakes: Josh: "... If we do that then we're giving up on Glacies."
Wyverncakes: "... And I'm sorry to say this..."
Aero: Glacies: "What...what ARE you..."
caster023@gmail.com: Tieria was already leaving. He wasn't the chatty sort as it was...and he didn't relish the idea of being caught in a massive explosion.
Wyverncakes: "I wish you werent here in case this doesn't work... but still..."
Wyverncakes: "If the roles were reversed between you and her I'd be doing the same thing, Rim!"
Wyverncakes: Josh: "I'm the person who gave you a sense of humanity! Are you going to walk out on that, Lacie?!?"
Aero: And that seems to trigger...something Glacies holds her head and begins to scream. "Josh...Josh..."
Aero: The Sympathia has kicked up into overdrive.
Wyverncakes: "Stop the C-AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Wyverncakes: "T-THE COUNTDOWN!"
Wyverncakes: "STOP IT!"
Aero: Ventus: "It's...too....late....our souls are merging we can't stop it."
Wyverncakes: And Josh is just gonna struggle on.
Wyverncakes: "Closer our souls get, the easier it is to reach her!"
Wyverncakes: "Until the final moment I'm not giving up on this OR her!"
Aero: Ventus: "Joshua it's...not that we can't do anything to while the Sympathia is this high...even if you've already reached us she can't even move."
Aero: So it seems even with all 4 of you linked together you're unable to move at all anymore with the Sympathia being this linked.
Aero: That is until Strega starts to move.
Wyverncakes: Josh: "Then I'll-"
Aero: Chris: "I can still stop it..."
Wyverncakes: Buuut his sudden inability to move sorta cockblocks that.
Wyverncakes: And then...
Wyverncakes: Josh: "W-wait! Chris!"
Aero: Ventus: "Don't you'll lose yourself completely if you try to cut it off."
Aero: Chris isn't listening though.
Aero: Chris: "Take care of each other...alright big brother?"
Aero: BOOM
Aero: Outside the factory explodes.
Aero: Signal Lost...
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "...no way..."
Corel: Muginami: "...."
killemallslayn: Castellan for once stopped with the jokes as there was no coming back from this for the others.
tengusaur: Werter: "Did I put too much trust into you, Josh...? Tell me I didn't..."
Wyverncakes: (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUuqE8BrFZM)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUuqE8BrFZM
Wyverncakes: As the fire from the explosion rages though, there's still... the sign of something moving inside of it
Wyverncakes: ... And finally, a massive bulk of SOMETHING bursts out of it
tengusaur: Werter: "...That works."
Wyverncakes: Chunks of ice cover most of it, but...
Wyverncakes: ... It definitely appears to be the Geant.
Wyverncakes: The Strega can be seen being held in its claw, with the Fabularis and the Studium clinging to its sides.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "...ha!"
Corel: Muginami: "They're...alright?"
Wyverncakes: "... Didn't... make it."
tengusaur: Werter: "...What?"
Wyverncakes: That's Josh's voice alright... but it's... not coming from the Geant.
Aero: Glacies: "Just barely."
Wyverncakes: Rather, the transmission's coming from the Strega.
Aero: From the Geant is...Glacies? It sort of looks like her but she somehow seems more...human.
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "Eh?"
Wyverncakes: And if anyone opts for visual to the Strega's cockpit, you'd see Josh sitting in it, holding Rim's body close to his
Wyverncakes: He's crying.
Wyverncakes: "She's..."
Wyverncakes: "... She's just sleeping, alright?"
tengusaur: Werter: "..."
Wyverncakes: "... She's just tired."
Wyverncakes: "She saved all of us and she's..."
Wyverncakes: "... She deserves to take it easy."
HyprKnux 1: Kouji: "..."
Aero: Despite Vlaska being grievously injured and Rim...exerting herself the Factory has been destroyed.
Aero: MISSION COMPLETE
Overman Zappa: MarKus breaks up this happy little reunion. "Hey! I'm glad you're back and all but we need to GO! Vlaksa's hurt!
