Wyverncakes (02:21:09): So then, after that emergency transmission fron Winfield, the Chalice is making all speed towards the ominous location in the South Pacific!
Wyverncakes (02:21:58): Sure enough, off in the distance, just above the horizon, you can make out the massive form of Cthulhu.
Wyverncakes (02:22:02): (Cthulhu: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Cthulhu.JPG/307492802/Cthulhu.JPG)
Wyverncakes (02:22:21): And not only that, lots of ambiant explosions...
Wyverncakes (02:22:54): No doubt AEUG, DC, Federation, TSAB, Britannian, and South American forces all throwing what they can into the fray.
Wyverncakes (02:23:20): ... Curiously, Cthulhu hasn't been using that ridiculous beamspam it did to pretty much clean house at Arkham.
Aero (02:23:24): Kurou: "What do you know, they actually responded this time."
peter kampschroeder (02:23:35): "Yeah, for whatever good it's worth..."
tengusaur (02:23:54): Werter: "They will just get themselves killed on their own..."
Wyverncakes (02:24:04): Maxene: "Don't sell them all too short..."
Wyverncakes (02:24:17): And it's Maxene giving you the lowdown this time!
Wyverncakes (02:24:32): Well, not surprising, since this is sorta her territory. And by that, we mean things she somehow knows.
Aero (02:24:34): Al: "Umu, besides if Cthulhu is over that place that means they have plans to raise it."
Wyverncakes (02:24:44): Maxene nods.
Wyverncakes (02:24:47): "Yes."
Wyverncakes (02:24:51): "R'lyeh."
VJockey (02:25:11): "Oh good, I was hoping for somewhere exotic to visit next."
ZebulonCrispi (02:25:14): Bismuth: "Truly a worthy foe for warriors of our calibur."
Wyverncakes (02:25:16): "Either whoever's in control of Cthulhu, or whatever active part of Cthulhu itself, is trying to raise R'lyeh..."
VJockey (02:25:24): [Sam's tone was wry as he watched the whole scene.]
ZebulonCrispi (02:25:30): Leopold is skimming Lovecraft books for reference.
tengusaur (02:25:54): Werter: "An ancient underwater city built by some non-human race... What will happen after it's raised? The world will end?"
peter kampschroeder (02:26:12): Eibon: "Not a city. Though the rest is more or less accurate."
Wyverncakes (02:26:15): Maxene nods. "Something to that extent. But fortunately... we are at an advantage."
Aero (02:26:18): Al: "It depends on what they want to use it for."
Aero (02:26:43): Al: "We have no idea what they want to do with it though."
Wyverncakes (02:26:45): "R'lyeh doesn't actually exist in this Universe. Or rather, Cthulhu is trying to summon the R'lyeh from its own."
Wyverncakes (02:27:00): "And this requires tremendous effort, even for a Great Old One such as it."
Aero (02:27:17): Kurou: "So from my old universe then."
Wyverncakes (02:27:21): "It won't be able to rely on its automated defenses to ward off attackers."
sketchbookfiend (02:27:27): Yusuke: "Wouldn't summoning it from it's own world be even worse than if there was one here then?"
peter kampschroeder (02:27:42): Eibon: "Yes. The continent of Ry'leh is not native to this world."
tengusaur (02:27:43): Werter: "So aall we have to do is break its concentration? Sounds viable."
tengusaur (02:27:53): Werter: "...Continent."
Aero (02:28:02): Al: "We'll explain later."
sketchbookfiend (02:28:21): Yusuke: "Come on Werter, don't sound so distressed, I mean, Australia is a continent."
sketchbookfiend (02:28:35): This is not how you make people feel better.
peter kampschroeder (02:28:38): Eibon: "Some of the magnitude was lost in translation, over the years...For now, simply focus on combat."
Wyverncakes (02:28:48): As the ship nears... yeah, you can really see all hell's breaking loose.
tengusaur (02:28:53): Werter: "Do you realize what you just said."
ZebulonCrispi (02:29:05): Leo: "Good heavens."
Wyverncakes (02:29:14): In the skies, destroyer robots are engaging with flying mobile suits and warships.
Aero (02:29:23): Kurou: "Wow they're still using his toys."
sketchbookfiend (02:29:26): Yusuke: "...No?"
peter kampschroeder (02:29:39): Roads: "How many of those things did he build..."
tengusaur (02:29:40): Werter: "I will also explain later. Cthulhu still has defenders!"
Wyverncakes (02:29:41): Down in the seas, Deep Ones battling against amphibious machines along with warships!
tengusaur (02:29:48): Werter: "Let's go, time to help these guys out!"
Wyverncakes (02:29:48): ... And, holy crap you know Dagon and Hydra?
Wyverncakes (02:29:58): You're seeing... lots of them. In the water.
Aero (02:30:00): Kurou: "They mass produced Dagon and Hydra?"
Aero (02:30:09): Kurou: "CAN THEY ALL COMBINE INTO GONDORA?"
sketchbookfiend (02:30:13): Yusuke: "Knowing the good Doctor? Probably a lot."
Wyverncakes (02:30:16): Maxene: "Something to that extent."
peter kampschroeder (02:30:33): Roads: "It's like a greatest hits album, but with monsters..."
VJockey (02:30:38): [Sam was rubbing at his chin with a bemused look... well... this brings back memories.]
Wyverncakes (02:30:46): Ayame: "At any rate, we don't have time to waste! We'll be launching everyone as soon as we can!"
Wyverncakes (02:30:49): BUT...
Aero (02:30:57): Kurou: "Memories of Innsmouth Sam?"
Wyverncakes (02:31:00): You all receive another transmission... from Ruri no less!
Aero (02:31:10): Kurou: "Yo Princess"
Wyverncakes (02:31:24): Ruri: "Everyone... and yes, hello Kurou. Everyone's been assembled to try to hold off Cthulhu's forces."
peter kampschroeder (02:31:29): Eibon: "Ah, the child." Roads: "Play nice..."
Wyverncakes (02:32:10): "But you'll need to break through to the inside of the Great Old One. Since it's using the body of the Illusory Heart Mother, the numerous hatches used to launch Destroyer Robots will be your best angle for attack."
Wyverncakes (02:32:15): And then it's the butler's turn!
Wyverncakes (02:32:22): Winfield: "And... one more thing..."
Aero (02:32:48): Kurou: "Hm?"
VJockey (02:32:52): "Hmm?"
sketchbookfiend (02:33:00): Yusuke: "What?"
Wyverncakes (02:33:07): "... If the Anticross swordsman is still alive... be on guard against him. In our last battle, he was able to defeat me and capture Miss Ruri because of his innermost ability..."
Wyverncakes (02:33:16): ... Which he then tells you!
VJockey (02:33:23): "......"
Wyverncakes (02:33:24): No spoilers just yet though!
VJockey (02:33:29): [Sam is grinning here.]
peter kampschroeder (02:33:39): "...Man, sorcery is a hell of a drug."
tengusaur (02:33:40): Werter: "Well, good we have our own ridiculous swordsman then."
Wyverncakes (02:33:42): At any rate, you're clear to launch and kick ass while doing so!
sketchbookfiend (02:33:50): Yusuke: "Oh yeah, that guy is still alive."
VJockey (02:33:54): [Like he is SERIOUSLY grinning. He's been waiting for a rematch for a loooong time.]
Wyverncakes (02:33:55): And by that, I mean taking a free action!
Wyverncakes (02:34:33): (Enemies: Destroyer Robots x 1000, Deep Ones x 5000, Hydra/Dagon equivalents x 500, Cthulhu tentacles x 100)
Wyverncakes (02:34:40): (Objective: break through to Cthulhu's insides)
ZebulonCrispi (02:34:42): Super Bismuth erups forth in a barrage of Negaforce Beams!
Wyverncakes (02:35:29): Also Kurou!
Wyverncakes (02:35:36): One more last thing!
Wyverncakes (02:35:45): The Nacaal Code's being transmitted entirely to you!
Wyverncakes (02:35:50): Ruri: "Just in case, Kurou."
Aero (02:35:51): Kurou: "E-eh?"
Aero (02:35:56): Kurou: "Are you sure?"
Wyverncakes (02:36:04): "During our last fight against the Anticross, you nearly lost because I couldn't send it to you."
tengusaur (02:36:17): * "Time to score some kills for the Defensive Theology Club!" Werter rushes forward on wings of plasma, spinning Prometheus' drill lance! Prometheus zips around in the air, changing direction several times and breaking through whatever enemies are on the way - especially the Hydras and Dagons!+
peter kampschroeder (02:36:22): The Zweilicht launches on one of those handy-dandy flying platforms from Zeta gundam. Remember those? Yeah. Practicality!
Wyverncakes (02:36:24): "I don't want that to happen again."
Aero (02:36:35): Kurou: "...Alright, I won't let you down."
Wyverncakes (02:37:38): [Bismuth team] The Negaforce Beams shoot out, hitting a whole swath of flying Destroyer Robots! Unfortunately it seems that they weren't safeguarded against this kind of attack... and the lot of them plummet into the sea where they begin to spontaneously rust!
VJockey (02:37:53): ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeqIi7Mv44 )
ZebulonCrispi (02:38:13): Leopold: "Wow, that worked even better than usual."
Aero (02:38:14): *And with that Kurou transforms into Magius Form. "From the hate scorched sky. With righteous anger in our hearts. We draw forth the sword that smites evil! Thou art the innocent blade- Demonbane!" And with that chant said the Deus Machina is summoned. The dark sphere is formed in it's right arm and Kurou begins dashing through the many enemies tapping them all with it. "Lemuria...Delay Impact!" Those enemies are then swallowed by the explosion of sublimation spell. +
VJockey (02:38:37): "Well then Wolfy. I think its time we both got into this."
sketchbookfiend (02:38:40): Kuuga Rising Dragon forms and gets onto BeatGouram, which pops a wheely and enters fly mode right out into the field. Rising energy coating Gouram equipped motorcycle for all the charging attacks.
peter kampschroeder (02:39:03): *Roads floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee, throwing dozens and dozens and dozens of firey grenades into the morass of Destroyer robots.+
Wyverncakes (02:39:16): [Werter] And you know what's NOT rusting? Prometheus, as it begins to make a veritable shish-kebab of Deep Ones and the Hydras and Dagons... helping to turn the tide for our allies fighting down below!
Wyverncakes (02:40:37): [Kurou and Roads] And grimoire-empowered Super and Real both begin blowing through the Destroyer Robots with the kind of ease expected for us by this point. But Kurou, one of Cthulhu's tentacles is moving to attack you!
Wyverncakes (02:40:44): ... Except it's suddenly blown away by a powerful blast!
tengusaur (02:40:48): Werter: "Unfortunately for you... Protecting humanity from giant biological monsters was the sole reason Prometheus was created."
Wyverncakes (02:40:48): ???: "Kurou!"
Wyverncakes (02:40:53): It's Metatron!
VJockey (02:41:11): *A quadrupedal figure decloaks from beside Sam, glancing at him before their respective masks 'switch' to combat mode. Within moments they were charging forward to the battle lines Wolf's tail latching onto one of Sam's arms as the Samurai swung him onto a destroyer robot like an improvised grappling hook! Metal claws and HF knives extended to allow the UG a better grip for Sam to swing up top!&
peter kampschroeder (02:41:28): Roads: "Nice save!"
Aero (02:41:34): Kurou: "Metatron? What are you doing here?"
Wyverncakes (02:41:36): [Yusuke] And to help thin through the stragglers of this wave of Destroyer Robots, it's Kuuga blowing through them!
Wyverncakes (02:42:31): [Sam] Yeah, ballsy, crazy evasive maneuvers for you thanks to Blade Wolf! Still, the Destroyer Robots are starting to get a sense of what you're doing and try to shoot you down with vulcans!
Wyverncakes (02:42:34): (React/continue)
Wyverncakes (02:42:56): Metatron: "Because this is the end of things, Kurou. And I was going to see things through to the-"
Wyverncakes (02:43:00): She never finishes.
Wyverncakes (02:43:08): ???: "MEEEETAAAAATROOOOOOOOOOON!"
Wyverncakes (02:43:43): And suddenly a black blur is shooting down from above!
Wyverncakes (02:43:52): Metatron is looking up, trying to raise her guard in time-
Wyverncakes (02:44:08): But a black angel's fist smashes into her face, breaking off part of her mask.
Wyverncakes (02:44:12): (Sandolphon: http://cgv.blicky.net/dmb/0238.jpg)
Wyverncakes (02:44:31): And Kurou... now you can finally see the woman behind that mask... her face all too familiar.
Aero (02:44:34): Kurou: "!"
Wyverncakes (02:44:43): Even without the glasses, even with platinum-white hair instead of blonde...
Aero (02:44:45): Kurou: "LEICA?????"
tengusaur (02:44:57): Werter: "Tch, it's this extremely loud guy again..."
Wyverncakes (02:45:15): Metatron: "Explanations can come later, Kurou!"
Aero (02:45:29): Kurou: "I...right right...you better win!"
Wyverncakes (02:45:33): She's already raising her guard up again and zooming towards Sandolphon!
sketchbookfiend (02:45:53): Kuuga: "...I feel like I'm missing out on something."
Wyverncakes (02:45:55): Metatron: "The fact that Sandolphon is here means that Nero failed! The other Anticross are still in control of Cthulhu! You have to finish this! All of you!"
VJockey (02:45:58): *Sam smirks as Wolf digs deeper and attempts to wrest control of the machine like Raiden had done in the skies of Denver, for what purpose? To send the robot in a collision course with its own kind! Sam using the Murasama to deflect and destroy the vulcan shots, whether or not the robot actually makes impact they BOTH leapt their seperate ways to different machines - Sam unleashing a gunshot powered slash upon a hapless target while Blade Wolf spun through the air in a graceful arc... with his claws extended and a High Frequency chainsaw roaring at full power at the end of his tail.+
peter kampschroeder (02:46:02): Roads: "Hey, it's that guy." "Master, we have business elsewhere..." "Right, wouldn't want to keep the big guy waiting..."
Aero (02:46:29): Kurou: "Just leave him to her we need to deal with the remaining Anticross."
tengusaur (02:47:49): Werter: "She did well dueling her every time before. Let's do this."
tengusaur (02:47:58): *him
sketchbookfiend (02:48:52): Kuuga: "I guess we do have more important problems."
Wyverncakes (02:50:01): [Sam] Yeah, that's a nice big explosion you've just made, Sam, and you're already tearing into new enemies too!
Wyverncakes (02:50:05): And yes you do!
VJockey (02:50:05): "Its not my style to interrupt duels."
Wyverncakes (02:50:17): Fortunately...
Wyverncakes (02:50:33): You can see that one of Cthulhu's hatches is opening up, more Destroyer Robots flooding out into the battle-
Aero (02:50:43): Kurou: "There!"
peter kampschroeder (02:50:52): Roads: "Go go go go go!!"
Wyverncakes (02:50:55): -At least they were before they're blown to bits by a powerful high-mega beam cannon blast fired by an allied shit!
Wyverncakes (02:50:58): ^ship
Wyverncakes (02:51:02): You've got your opening now!
Aero (02:51:15): Kurou: "SHANTAK!"
Aero (02:51:40): Thank you new bullshit speed, Demonbane moves with a large burst of speed right into the opening.
peter kampschroeder (02:51:54): "Bullet move!" Like Roads is gonna let Kurou hog all the frontline action. He too moves in with bullshit speed!
tengusaur (02:52:23): Werter: "Time to dash in!" Prometheus doesn't stay far behind!
sketchbookfiend (02:52:25): BeatGouram flies for the opening once it's clear to go. No reason to hesitate now. Super motorcycles sure are full of ridiculous speed too.
Wyverncakes (02:52:58): All of you make your way in during this precious window of time, entering into the Illusory Heart Mother. Into Cthulhu.
Wyverncakes (02:52:59): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrYcNFj9CL
VJockey (02:53:10): Sam and Wolf are practically leap-frogging towards the entrance off of their allies before getting a grip on whichever one was up ahead that wasn't moving at ludicrous speed.
Wyverncakes (02:53:27): Almost immediately, you're going to get the wonderful experience of a something that has a really, really high flesh-to-metal ratio.
Wyverncakes (02:53:44): The walls writing, spikes and gigantic teeth everywhere...
Aero (02:53:52): Kurou: "This feels oddly familiar."
sketchbookfiend (02:54:15): Kuuga: "This is just a bit gross..."
Wyverncakes (02:54:28): Still, you're only in the outer areas of Cthulhu.
peter kampschroeder (02:54:36): Roads: "No kidding..." Eibon: "Cthulhu has bonded with the Illusory Heart Mother. What did you expect?"
Wyverncakes (02:55:02): You'll need to press much, much further inside to reach the very center of it all.
tengusaur (02:55:12): Werter: "I think this is the first time we intentionally let a giant monster swallow us."
VJockey (02:55:15): Wolf: "If this is familiar to you Kurou Daijuuji, I am beginning to acknowledge Sam's description of you."
Wyverncakes (02:55:35): The very center, where Cthulhu's heart can be found in what was once the Black Lodge's temple-cum-throne room.
Wyverncakes (02:55:44): (Yes, the game is very insistent on calling it that.)
peter kampschroeder (02:56:42): (It's latin, perverts)
Wyverncakes (02:56:54): (So says the pervert)
Aero (02:57:30): Kurou: "Mind telling me what that description is?"
Wyverncakes (02:57:51): Cthulhu itself doesn't seem to be really in the mood for attacking you further, fortunately, and you make your way in peace. And as you continue further, you can hear the rhythmic sound of beating. The beating of a heart fit for only the largest, most horrific of entitites.
VJockey (02:58:04): Wolf: "He classified you as The Most Dangerous Pervert in the World"
VJockey (02:58:20): Sam's just gonna keep smirking here.
sketchbookfiend (02:58:26): Kuuga: "...Dangerous..."
Wyverncakes (02:58:40): And finally-!
peter kampschroeder (02:58:42): Eibon: "Fitting."
Wyverncakes (02:58:55): The tunnel you're in finally opens up into a suitably large chamber!
Aero (02:58:56): Kurou: "The MOST dangerous?"
Wyverncakes (02:59:11): Off in the distance, clocking in at hundreds of meters tall... is indeed the very heart of Cthulhu!
tengusaur (02:59:20): Werter: "Well, the clown guy received a fate worse than death, so..."
Wyverncakes (02:59:25): And standing before it, three of the greatest sinners in human existence!
VJockey (02:59:32): Wolf: "Analysis of your clarification indicates that this description is now 99.9% accurate."
Wyverncakes (02:59:34): (Augustus: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Augustus.JPG/316387950/Augustus.JPG)
Wyverncakes (02:59:46): (Vespasianus: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Vespasianus.bmp/303090002/Vespasianus.bmp)
Wyverncakes (02:59:56): (Titus: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Titus.JPG/346648986/Titus.JPG)
Wyverncakes (03:00:26): Augustus: "So... you've finally come! The White Chalice... Demonbane!"
Wyverncakes (03:01:13): Vespasianus himself is grinning too. "And the holder of the true Book of Eibon! How fortunate... I had feared that perhaps in the destruction which is to come you and the grimoire would be lost!"
Wyverncakes (03:01:23): For his part, Titus just notices that Sam and Kuuga are present.
Wyverncakes (03:01:26): Sorry Ogre.
Wyverncakes (03:01:32): Looks like you're not going to be summoned today either.
Wyverncakes (03:01:37): (Ogre: ;_;)
tengusaur (03:01:53): Werter: "I'm not sure why you're so cocky. Last time we fought there were fewer of you."
Wyverncakes (03:02:09): Augustus just grins!
VJockey (03:02:15): Sam: "Well well.... We meet again Titus."
Wyverncakes (03:02:23): "Before, we had not the power of the Great Cthulhu!"
Wyverncakes (03:02:37): "The power to rule the Earth as kings, as God-Emperors!"
sketchbookfiend (03:02:54): Kuuga: "You sure do get ahead of yourselves."
ZebulonCrispi (03:02:56): Bismuth: "Mankind ill needs god-emperors such as you!"
Wyverncakes (03:02:58): Holding a hand high, there's a brilliant shine of light!
Wyverncakes (03:03:08): Augustus: "The Golden Bough!"
peter kampschroeder (03:03:24): Roads: "Gee, thanks." Eibon: "Like I would fall to evil...Vespasianus! If you want to take me, you will have a fight on your hands!"
Wyverncakes (03:03:50): At the same time, Vespasianus seems to be summoning a slew of ravens towards him at the same time! "Liber Ivonis!"
Wyverncakes (03:04:03): And nanoseconds later, both are holding their own grimoires!
Wyverncakes (03:04:11): Titus however, is just drawing his katanas.
Wyverncakes (03:04:25): Again, sorry Ogre. He's still got awesome people to fight on foot.
Aero (03:04:44): Kurou: "Like hell we're letting you summon your Deus Machina!"
Wyverncakes (03:04:50): Too late, Kurou!
Aero (03:04:54): And Kurou will try to shoot anyways!
Wyverncakes (03:04:58): As suddenly two Deus Machina drop in from above!
Aero (03:04:59): VULCANS GO
Aero (03:05:01): Dammit
Wyverncakes (03:05:07): ... And of course...
Wyverncakes (03:05:11): There's still Titus.
Wyverncakes (03:05:25): Who in an instant is in the path of those vulcans and cutting them all to shreds with just one of his swords.
tengusaur (03:05:37): Werter: "Yes, declare yourself a god. Let the power get to your head. You will make more mistakes this way."
Wyverncakes (03:05:38): (Legacy of Gold: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/de7mmd.png/301562332/de7mmd.png)
Wyverncakes (03:05:50): (Cykranosh: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/i4lanb.png/301562336/i4lanb.png)
Wyverncakes (03:06:14): Augustus: "From the moment that Cthulhu has been summoned, nothing has not happened with it that we have not permitted!"
VJockey (03:06:35): Sam: "...."
Wyverncakes (03:06:44): Vespasianus: "You almost said "I" there..."
VJockey (03:06:45): "Well... there's just no accounting for taste is there?"
Wyverncakes (03:06:58): (Enemies: The Legacy of Gold, Cykranosh, Titus)
Aero (03:07:09): Al: "You should see Eibon's old Deus Machina."
sketchbookfiend (03:07:10): Kuuga: "That sure is a long way to go for "everything has been just as planned"."
Wyverncakes (03:07:14): (Lineup: Kurou, Werter, Roads, Yusuke, Sam, Leo)
Wyverncakes (03:07:20): (Kurou, Werter, Roads)
VJockey (03:08:29): "Oh? What exactly did it look like?"
peter kampschroeder (03:08:32): *Eibon: "The time for that has passed, Al. Master!" "Right!" Roads opens fire on Cykranosh's 'face', the thing that dangles underneath it. Spells are not his thing, but shotguns are.+
Aero (03:08:49): * "Let's see what you can do now then. Cthugha, Ithaqua." Both spell pistols are summoned and Demonbane lifts off above Legacy of Gold and unleashes a barrage of homing and explosive rounds. +
tengusaur (03:10:09): * Werter starts to circle around the Legacy of Gold, but slowly getting closer to it! He gets Prometheus under the giant Deus Machine, and then launches upwards, stabbing at its "belly" with the drill lance, which is now covered in a green plasma sheath for extra explosive power! +
tengusaur (03:10:18): Werter: "Let's see what this machine can do..."
Aero (03:11:40): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSw5S4_zCAw
Wyverncakes (03:12:19): [Roads] And spells ARE Vespasianus's thing very much indeed! As you fire, the machine is aready erecting barriers for protection! "Still relying on those unseemingly things... Come forth! Otho! Galva! Vitellias!" And the Gaia Statues are summoned as well, already loosing their sonic attack to eradicate the machine! "It's mere child's play to attack in this way, and hold back to ensure the Book of Eibon is unharmed!" Roads, you're already taking damage!
Wyverncakes (03:12:21): (React: Roads)
peter kampschroeder (03:13:20): "Oh yeah, well guess what!"
Wyverncakes (03:14:30): [Kurou and Werter] You both attack the Legacy of Gold at once... only for your attacks to collide with a powerful barrier! Ithaqua's shots are stopped completely cold... but Cthugha's and Prometheus's lance manage to pierce through... only to be stopped immediately by the immense armor of the Deus Machina! "Behold... behold the protection that Cthulhu has granted me! Power even beyond your imitation Deus Machina... power beyond your pawn of one of this world's gods!" And then lasers. TONS of them, straight at both of you!
Wyverncakes (03:14:36): (React: Kurou and Werter)
Wyverncakes (03:14:44): (Yusuke, Sam, Leo)
Wyverncakes (03:15:33): Vespasianus: "What?"
Wyverncakes (03:15:42): Yeah, your confidence is kinda, a bit surprising.
Aero (03:15:45): * "Barzai, Mirror of Nitocris." The Scimitar is covered in a reflective coating and is thrown in front of Demonbane to deflect those beams. +
ZebulonCrispi (03:16:23): * Super Bismith takes a page out of Simon's book, turning one hand into a giant drill and boosting forward to try and tear a hole through that barrier and the armor behind it! +
peter kampschroeder (03:16:24): *"I cast bullet!" And Roads whips out his rifle, placing one powerful shot squarely towards each of the familiars.+
VJockey (03:16:49): *Well Sam's going to point his blade at Titus in an open challenge before suddenly blasting across the meat-metal floor of Cthulhu, his blade a surging arc of crimson through the air!+
tengusaur (03:16:59): *Werter: "Tough defense and lots of firepower, huh? It's like a literal tank!" Prometheus starts to jump nimbly between the incoming beams, from one safe spot to another. And he also creates a green plasma shield on his arm, gleaning with an almost mirror-like sheen. Werter will try to use this to reflect any beams that still could hit him! +
sketchbookfiend (03:17:01): *Kuuga's not even going to try ramming, he just leaps off BeatGouram to let it fly off elsewhere til he needs it. In his hand is a Steel Pipe- oh wait no now it's the Risind Dragon Rod, and he's already coming down with it's edge glowing towards Titus to try and pierce him.+
sketchbookfiend (03:17:12): *Rising
Aero (03:17:33): Kurou: "We're probably going to need to concentrate our attacks.""
Wyverncakes (03:18:03): [Roads] "Whaaaat?" Vespasianus react increduously as suddenly all three statues are blown to bits! Unlike Legacy of Gold, it seems that Vespasianus isn't that much tougher, if any at all!
Aero (03:19:55): Al: "I don't remember Bullet being one of your spells Ei."
Wyverncakes (03:20:52): [Werter, Kurou, and Leopold] Kurou! Werter! The reflective guards are a good idea... and the shots end up getting deflected and stopped by Legacy of Gold's barrier... but only forthe first few dozen shots! Before long, your defenses are broken, blowing both machines back as Augustus laughs! "So... you think after all this time I would allow my Legacy of Gold to fall to such an obvious tactic?!?" And then he's turning his attention towards Super Bismuth! The drill's slowly working its way through, but it's also taking tremendous damage in its own right... and then just to showboat, Legacy of Gold RAMS forward, smashing into your drill and knocking you away! "Now die, fool!" More lasers at Bismuth now!
peter kampschroeder (03:20:57): Eibon: "...No." Roads: "Alright, Vespasianus! It's an anticross member versus a dirty hobo! Are you scared yet? Are you gonna run?"
Wyverncakes (03:21:06): (React: Super Bismuth team!)
ZebulonCrispi (03:21:53): * After seeing what those lasers did to the others, Team Bismuth opt for an evasive strategy! Super Bismuth takes flight, dodging in random directions to avoid as many as possible. +
Wyverncakes (03:22:00): Vespasianus however, is quick to regather his composure. "Ha... haha... flee? Flee when, after time immorial, I once more have a challenge, something more to strive for! You underestimate me, Book of Eibon!"
tengusaur (03:22:04): Werter: "No. It would be pretty pathetic if you didn't even last this long after all!"
peter kampschroeder (03:22:57): Eibon: "I don't. He, on the other hand..."
Wyverncakes (03:23:53): [Kuuga and Sam] And Titus is charging towards both of you as well! Even as the Rising Dragon Rod come stabbing down, Titus has a sword up to stop it AND the Rising BeatGouram cold as if you were standing still! Even Sam's long-range slash is countered by one of Titus's own... and then... "...HaaaAAAAAAH!" With a furious kiai and a twist of his body, he causes the BeatGouram to go into a spinning skid, and hurls two of his katanas at Kuuga!
Wyverncakes (03:23:55): (React: Yusuke!)
Aero (03:24:02): Kurou:"Besides, it doesn't seem like you're that creative. Even a mobile suit can do the same thing you're doing."
Wyverncakes (03:24:16): (Kurou, Werter, Roads)
griefgathering (03:24:18): #Yusuke?
Wyverncakes (03:24:21): (Approved)
ZebulonCrispi (03:24:50): Leopold: "I think I made a dent in the thing!"
sketchbookfiend (03:25:13): *Kuuga twists the Dragon Rod to clash against the katanas and pushes off of them to leap away. The bike is calling it quits after that.+
griefgathering (03:25:42): The furious scream of jet engines echoes throughout the area for a moment as a black unmanned craft makes its way in through the opening you've all made earlier...
Aero (03:25:42): * "Well then, he can bleed. Mirror of Nitocris!" Several copies of Demonbane are made and they bumrush Legacy of Gold. &
Wyverncakes (03:25:46): [Team Bismuth] It's unfortunately a bit hard for you... and all of Werter and Kurou's taunting seems to have made Augustus want to make an example out of someone! "Machines of this world can barely STRIVE for this level of power!" And in spite of Bismuth's best effort, searing lasers drill through parts of the machine's body, arms, and legs! Nothing's a critical blow thanks to your dodging, but yeah... that's going to hurt to say the least.
griefgathering (03:26:00): Just in time for something to be fired from it...and it's no missile...
peter kampschroeder (03:26:01): *and now Roads moves closer, switching up his rifle for his sword. His stance is guarded; while he will close and try to start slashing away at Cykranosh, his real goal is to get those tentacles attacking him and parry them into oblivion.+
griefgathering (03:26:08): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsKCX5ylhQc&feature=youtu.be&t=3m23s
ZebulonCrispi (03:26:10): Bismuth: "Rrgh... I am no machine of this world!"
griefgathering (03:26:49): *The 'projectile' lands between Kuuga and Titus' katanas - brandishing its own sword to knock those blades away!+
tengusaur (03:27:25): * "If only I can break through this armor..." Werter rushes at the previously-attacked part of Legacy of Gold, leaps and stabs Prometheus' drill lance into it! And then he punches the lance in repeatedly with one hand, to make it break through the tough defenses! At the same time he's gathering plasma in Prometheus' other hand... &
Wyverncakes (03:27:50): [Yusuke and ???] Yusuke, you're in the clear. Titus's katanas are blown far and away, the Anticross swordsman looking intently at the man who's just made his arrival.
Wyverncakes (03:27:56): Titus: "... Another one..."
Wyverncakes (03:28:02): He smiles.
griefgathering (03:28:19): ???: "I take it you're the one Sam told me about..."
Wyverncakes (03:28:23): "Although..."
Wyverncakes (03:28:36): Already drawing his own swords out... "I can tell that you too gave up your humanity."
Aero (03:28:43): Kurou: "Friend of yours Sam?"
VJockey (03:28:45): "Hah! You certainly know how to make an entrance Blondie."
griefgathering (03:28:50): ??? = http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120815204307/metalgear/images/6/6b/Tumblr_m8sl44Pa5m1r6hu3go2_1280.jpg
VJockey (03:28:59): [Sam offers a sidelong smirk to Kurou.]
VJockey (03:29:08): "Of a sort."
griefgathering (03:29:13): His visor opens up.
Wyverncakes (03:29:24): [Kurou] Augustus just snorts. "And now attempting a suicide charge! It's useless useless useless!" More lasers, which chew through the ranks of your copies extremely rapidly!
Aero (03:29:50): (May I Continue?)
griefgathering (03:29:54): Raiden: "More like forced into it."
tengusaur (03:30:05): Werter: "Oh hey. It's like a rule that each time we fight these guys, a mysterious swordsman has to come help."
sketchbookfiend (03:30:22): Kuuga: "It's okay, I know plenty of guys forced into it. You're probably cool."
tengusaur (03:30:25): Werter: "Although I believe this guy showed up already..."
Wyverncakes (03:30:27): [Roads] Yeah, with his statues out of commission, all Cykranosh can do is to attack indeed with those tentacles, which are getting struck aside! But just as you might be thinking you've got a free shot to Vespasianus... suddenly the ground below you begins to twist and writhe! Like a giant hand it's reaching up, intent on crushing you!
Wyverncakes (03:30:29): (React: Roads!)
Wyverncakes (03:30:59): (Yes, Kurou can continue)
griefgathering (03:32:04): Raiden: (to Werter) "It was a while back. I did get a feeling that we'd run into each other again, White Chalice."
Wyverncakes (03:32:04): [Werter] Augustus's focus on Kurou might also be proving to be his downfall, as it gives you the free chance to begin to force your way through the barrier once more! But your lance is starting to show some serious wear and tear from the damage, and as you continue pounding at that weakened section of armor, that's more strain on it too! AND not to mention all it takes is a few lasers arching out from the Legacy of Gold to put the heat on you too!
Wyverncakes (03:32:07): (React: Werter)
peter kampschroeder (03:32:27): *And Roads is not gonna stick around for that-but he is going to use it to leap up higher in the air, then air-dash to the side.+ "Gettin' kind of stale here, Vespy!"
tengusaur (03:32:41): (can I also continue?)
VJockey (03:32:47): Wolf: "Raiden."
Wyverncakes (03:32:58): (Well, react/continue. Yes)
VJockey (03:33:03): [Wolf's just going to look at you Raiden, YOU SO LATE.]
Aero (03:33:04): * Those copies all shatter when the lasers hit them. All of the Mirror Shards head straight towards Legacy of Gold and try to bury themselves into it. "Werter get out of the way, Cthugha!" Then he fires the high powered shot and reflects them off the many mirror shards there. +
Wyverncakes (03:34:27): [Roads] As you move to evade, you suddenly discover that your machine's starting to slow down! "Binding spell!" And with that the hand's closing in again, as Vespasianus laughs! "In another few moments, the Book of Eibon will be mine, and we will see just how 'rusty' I am then!"
tengusaur (03:34:28): * "This is good enough...!" Werter pulls out the lance, tanking the incoming lasers with a combination of Prometheus' shoulder and a plasma field! And then he smashes the other fist into the hole he created, causing the unstable plasma gathered in it to explode - hopefully that's enough to penetrate the armor!
Wyverncakes (03:34:31): (React again: Roads)
tengusaur (03:34:45): * And then he gets away from there, becausr Kurou is nice enough to warn him. +
griefgathering (03:36:52): Raiden: "...Sorry about that, Wolf. Boris and the others needed some time to get all the equipment ready."
Wyverncakes (03:37:05): [Kurou and Werter] Aaaaaaand you know the one problem Augustus never thought of? Having to account for trickery bypassing BOTH of his bullshit defenses! He can only exclaim a few words of surprise... just before the Cthugha shot blows into the exposed innards of the Legacy of Gold! The entire damn machine's a chain reaction of explosions now... but it's a hard price to pay, Werter, because Prometheus's defenses don't last nearly as long as you probably would've liked! The white machine's blown backwards, lasers tearing through your machine's body and taking one of its legs and making its body resemble swiss cheese!
Wyverncakes (03:37:07): STILL!
Aero (03:37:37): @Werter?
Wyverncakes (03:38:09): (The attack's already been carried through, and Prometheus isn't down. Don't worry)
Wyverncakes (03:38:14): Augustus: "N-no! No! Nooooooooo!"
Wyverncakes (03:38:28): The Legacy of Gold, for all of the gloating Augustus was giving... is going down!
Wyverncakes (03:38:34): Actually, wait.
Wyverncakes (03:38:35): No it's not.
Aero (03:38:39): Kurou: "Here I thought you woul-"
Aero (03:38:44): Al: "Wait."
VJockey (03:38:48): Wolf: "Be ready. My analysis of the target and Sam's information indicates that this will be a difficult battle."
VJockey (03:38:52): [You don't say.]
tengusaur (03:38:55): Werter: "He's not done yet..."
Wyverncakes (03:39:04): Because suddenly Augustus's cries of anger are melting away from very good acting to very evil laughter.
peter kampschroeder (03:39:10): *"Okay...Ultimate counterspell!" "Master, what are you-" and Roads uses what movement he can get to switch to his rifle. His target is not the hand, or Cykranosh-it is the sorceror standing on top of the Deus Machina. "Bullet!"+
sketchbookfiend (03:39:14): Kuuga: "I'm sure four of us will be enough to ease it up a bit, Wolf-san."
Wyverncakes (03:39:32): With the damage to the Legacy of Gold rewinding like some kind of bullshit deus ex machina that'd be stupid for the heroes to ever have!
Aero (03:39:59): Kurou: "Does he have De Maligny Clock?"
Wyverncakes (03:40:20): [Roads] Yeah. Vespasianus is suddenly regretting just standing out in the open like that.
Wyverncakes (03:40:21): Boom.
Aero (03:40:22): Al: "No it's something else, he's not actually rewinding time. Only repairing the damage with magic."
Wyverncakes (03:40:23): Headshot.
Wyverncakes (03:40:27): And pretty much everything shot.
Wyverncakes (03:40:42): Vespasianus is reduced to giblets, the Cykranosh crashing to the ground!
tengusaur (03:40:48): Werter: "Speaking of which, don't you have that as well? Just a suggestion."
Wyverncakes (03:41:06): Augustus: "Correct! This is the power of Cthulhu... a power I reserved for myself!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:41:09): Leopold: "Can they just undo any damage we do to them?!"
Wyverncakes (03:41:23): "Vespasianus was a fool to not make use of it... and as for Titus..."
Wyverncakes (03:41:29): Titus barely spares Augustus a glance back.
Wyverncakes (03:41:41): (Yusuke, Sam)
Aero (03:41:42): Kurou: "Seems like it..."
tengusaur (03:41:54): Werter: "Hey, you have experience fighting invulnerable enemies. Got any ideas?"
peter kampschroeder (03:41:56): Roads lands. "...there's no rule that says some failure of a sorcerer can't overpower the master...dumbass."
ZebulonCrispi (03:42:07): Leopold: "I hope one of you has a decent plan here."
Aero (03:42:36): Kurou: "I don't know what his tastes in music are so I really have nothing..."
tengusaur (03:43:02): Werter: "Ominous choruses, if I had to guess. Well, time to start improvising then..."
peter kampschroeder (03:43:11): "If we can't use the stick...We could try tearing this whole thing apart."
VJockey (03:43:25): *Sam is going to sprint towards Titus, his blade carving a gash on the ground and spitting sparks all over the place as he let loose with an upward slash and proceeded to continue on in a flurry of sheer aggression! One slash after another in an attempt to put Titus on the defensive!+
Aero (03:43:41): Al: "I still can't figure out how to access the Shining Trapezohedron."
sketchbookfiend (03:44:05): *The Kamen Rider dashes back in towards Titus and spins the rod , moving his grip back to one end- the other side's blade and remainder of the Rod coming down towards the swordsman hard and fast from momentum. Also it's glowing still. Every attack he's throwing at Titus has been a finisher attempt.+
tengusaur (03:44:26): Werter: "Then I guess I just have to make sure I don't get hit again. Just."
peter kampschroeder (03:45:10): "I mean, if he's using the power of cthulhu, then we just have to kill cthulhu, right?" Eibon: "..." "'sides, his heart is right over there."
Aero (03:46:39): Al: "Do you think that Cthulhu wouldn't regenerate itself either?"
peter kampschroeder (03:46:57): Roads "....uh..."
tengusaur (03:47:52): Werter: "We just have to destroy this machine so thoroughly there's nothing left to regenerate."
Wyverncakes (03:47:55): [Sam and Yusuke] The two of you unleash hell on Titus, both of you attacking with everything you've got! And sure enough, you DO almost have Titus on the ropes! Almost. Even with every attack you send, every attack that could kill him if for a single second's miscalculation, he's calmly guarding and parrying each strike... and occasionally... even slipping his own slight attacks in as well! Minor ones, ones that blur the line between attack and defense, ones that do minimal damage to you... but it's going to be adding up sooner or later. A scrape on the hand, a near-poke of your arm... you're so close to finishing him off... if only you had someone else joining in on this! After all, he only does have two swords...
Wyverncakes (03:48:10): (Bismuth team, Leopold)
tengusaur (03:48:11): Werter: "Should be possible if we gang up. And I am a big proponent of ganging up."
peter kampschroeder (03:48:27): "Yeah, let's all not play fair."
Aero (03:48:35): Kurou: "No complaints from me, we still need to pay them back for ganging up on us last time."
ZebulonCrispi (03:48:36): Leopold: "Then we'll kick it off!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:48:47): * Super Bismuth's hands become huge guns.
ZebulonCrispi (03:49:02): Leopold & Bismuth: "Super Bismuth... NEGAFORCE BUSTER!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:49:22): * Two enormous beams of negative energy fire at different parts of the Legacy of Gold! +
Wyverncakes (03:51:51): [Bismuth Team] The negaforce beams strike the Legacy of Gold's barrier at two seperate points, working to gradually wear away at its defenses! However, the machine is already orienting itself in Bismuth's direction! "Proposing to gang up on me..." Augustus began to cooly say as suddenly the entire front of the machine began to light up. "... Very well then. However... I have only to completely eradicate each of you to stop that!" And an absolutely huge beam, one that dwarfs all the previous ones is let loose! This is the thing that wrecked Demonbane before, the thing that Al had to sacrifice hersel to save you all from!
Wyverncakes (03:51:57): (Raiden, not Leopold. Derp)
Wyverncakes (03:52:22): (Incidentally, new lineup: Kurou, Werter, Roads, Yusuke, Sam, Raiden, Leo)

Aero (03:52:31): #?
Wyverncakes (03:53:28): (Go ahead)
Aero (03:55:04): * "Elder Sign!" Just a simple support defend with a barrier this time. +
griefgathering (03:55:26): *And join in on it Raiden does! He dashes straight at Titus like a rocket - thanks to cyborg muscle boost - electricity crackling along his sword! It's a single, powerful thrust!&
ZebulonCrispi (03:55:29): * Meanwhile, Super Bismuth just turns the Negaforce Buster forwards to try and depower a hole through the giant laser! +
Wyverncakes (03:56:30): [Raiden] And as you thrust at a gaping hole in Titus's defense...
Wyverncakes (03:56:43): He suddenly does something totally unexpected.
Wyverncakes (03:56:52): The gap... is no longer a gap.
Wyverncakes (03:57:20): And suddenly all three of you WOULD be caught by surprise by this last turn of events, as two new attacks come out of nowhere...
Wyverncakes (03:57:22): EXCEPT!
Wyverncakes (03:57:38): (All three of you, time to explain Titus's special little gimmick!)
VJockey (04:00:51): "An interesting little trick... Hiding Two more arms!"
griefgathering (04:01:02): Raiden: "More arms."
sketchbookfiend (04:01:05): Kuuga: "He has two more arms!?"
Wyverncakes (04:01:29): (And indeed, knowing it was coming, you've got the chance to react to this... and finish Titus off for good!)
Wyverncakes (04:01:33): (All of you can take another turn)
Wyverncakes (04:03:08): [Kurou and Super Bismuth] It's Demonbane to the rescue, Super Bismuth team! And a good thing too... because the power of Legacy of Gold's main cannon is more than you could've ever imagined, or even depowered sufficiently in time! Fortunately the Elder Sign makes a huge difference, and Super Bismuth is instead only blown back on its butt with comparatively minor holes and warping of its body. But hey, you're still alright though!
Wyverncakes (04:03:16): (Kurou, Werter, and Roads can act)
sketchbookfiend (04:03:20): *Kamen Rider pushes off and spins the Rising Dragon Rod one more time, energy travelling from one end of the pole to the other as he twists to the other end and thrusts the glowing bladed head into Titus' chest+
ZebulonCrispi (04:03:33): Bismuth: "Such incredible power!"
VJockey (04:03:47): *Sam's going to parry away any blows aimed at him before resheathing his sword... why? Raiden would be familiar with the stance Sam had taken and the look of grim determination on his face... because that trigger is going to be pulled and Sam's going to chop off some arms!+
ZebulonCrispi (04:03:57): Leopold: "It didn't need pointing out, Bismuth."
Aero (04:04:20): * "Let's go all out now! Return to the Void Augustus!" Ah the advantages of being able to use Lemuria Impact whenever he wants. Demonbane charges at Legacy of Gold and slams the dark sphere into his stupid face.+
griefgathering (04:04:38): *Raiden does indeed react. He swoops low all of a sudden- dropping under any counter attempts from Titus as he slides along the ground- aiming to knock the multi-armed swordsman into the air!+
tengusaur (04:05:41): Werter: "Hey. Guess whose strongest attack is made to penetrate the toughest armor."
Wyverncakes (04:06:35): [Team Size-SS] Together, and with knowing Titus's trick in advance... you all escape unscathed. Sam's own rapid strike slices off Titus's arms and makes Titus cry before Yusuke stabs into his body! And Raiden's brutal kick sends him high up into the air and crushes his entire midsection!
peter kampschroeder (04:06:37): *Roads pulls out his rifle and lays into Legacy of Gold's sides, pumping magic-boosted shot after shot towards the behemoth.+
Wyverncakes (04:06:54): (I will get to Team Not-Size SS in just a minute)
Wyverncakes (04:06:57): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh02QO40cdM
Wyverncakes (04:07:15): Bloodied and defeated... Titus's body crashes back down to the ground.
Wyverncakes (04:07:22): He's losing a lot of blood, and he's not regenerating.
Wyverncakes (04:07:58): He's left looking up at the three men in front of him... left thinking about the boxer from before.
Wyverncakes (04:08:07): For them to have known... then he must have survived.
Wyverncakes (04:08:35): All of them, no matter what... had never sacrificed their hearts. Their humanity even if in one case their body was lost.
Wyverncakes (04:08:48): Titus smiles again... this time much more warmly at all of you.
Wyverncakes (04:09:20): "A sinner like myself... and only now do I realize how weak I really was. How I took the coward's way... for strength..."
Wyverncakes (04:09:28): "The god of battle never favored me..."
Wyverncakes (04:09:42): Closing his eyes, he summons one last sword, catching it with his mouth.
Wyverncakes (04:09:56): "Cultes des Goules... Ogre!"
sketchbookfiend (04:10:00): Kuuga: "We all make mista- wait woah what?"
VJockey (04:10:18): "A fighter to the end."
Wyverncakes (04:10:20): Weakly, he slashes into the air in front of him, a grimoire falling out onto the ground.
tengusaur (04:10:27): * And Werter charges in from another direction than Kurou! He uses a big sheath of plasma to hide what he's been doing... At least until he's right next to the enemy, when he unveils it to reveal a gigantic, green syringe in Prometheus' arms! Oh yeah, he's doing this. Werter slams the syringe into the giant golden mecha, injecting it with dozens of tiny Prometheuses made of plasma! They start doing their thing. With extreme mischief. +
Wyverncakes (04:10:29): No, Sam.
Wyverncakes (04:10:31): The opposite.
tengusaur (04:10:36): (was waiting for the cutscene to finish, but okay)
Wyverncakes (04:10:49): His Deus Machina appears before you, but kneeling, in a sign of defeat.
Wyverncakes (04:10:52): (Ogre: http://i39.tinypic.com/4hukj.png)
Wyverncakes (04:10:59): Armed with four huge-ass swords...
Wyverncakes (04:11:09): Titus: "... They are yours... to do with as you see fit..."
sketchbookfiend (04:11:22): Kuuga: "Ah...I see.
Wyverncakes (04:11:31): And with that, Titus closes his eyes and dies... finding peace in the end.
Wyverncakes (04:11:58): AND WHILE ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON!
sketchbookfiend (04:13:05): Kuuga: "To see someone go with a smile... it makes me feel good after the week I've been having."
Wyverncakes (04:13:43): [Kurou, Werter, and Roads] ... YOU WERE LAYING THE SEVERE SMACKDOWN INTO AUGUSTUS AND THE LEGACY OF GOLD! The full brunt of some of your best attacks just completely annihilating the Legacy of Gold! But the damn machine just... keeps on regenerating as Augustus laughs maniacally!
griefgathering (04:14:05): Raiden spares a moment for the anticross swordsman, who regardless of being defeated had managed to take three of them on at once. "...He was pretty good."
Wyverncakes (04:14:24): "So... sooooo! This... is all you can bring against me!" The entire damn thing is burned, crushed, Prometheus'd, shot up... but with every passing second the damage is undone, Augustus gloating non-stop!
Wyverncakes (04:14:26): Until-
Wyverncakes (04:14:32): ... "W-what/?!"
Wyverncakes (04:14:57): Inexplicably, the regeneration has just... suddenly stopped!
Wyverncakes (04:15:20): Augustus: "The power... C-Cthulhu's power?!? It's been exhausted, o-or..."
Wyverncakes (04:15:26): "VESPASI-"
Aero (04:15:37): Kurou: "Wait what?"
Wyverncakes (04:15:45): He gets nothing else out before Augustus and his machine are completely annihilated.
ZebulonCrispi (04:15:54): Leopold: "Is that it?"
Wyverncakes (04:16:04): And the answer, Leopold... is...
Aero (04:16:10): Al: "No he just said!"
tengusaur (04:16:12): Werter: "No... Something really wrong happened!"
Wyverncakes (04:16:12): Vespasianus "How wonderful!"
Wyverncakes (04:16:14): ROADS!
tengusaur (04:16:24): Werter: "We forgot one!"
Wyverncakes (04:16:26): Suddenly you're ensnared by dozens of tentacles from the Cykranosh!
peter kampschroeder (04:16:27): "Oh, for the love of-"
Wyverncakes (04:16:36): Vespasianus now inside of his machine, having learned his lesson!
Aero (04:16:38): Kurou: "I THOUGHT YOU KILLED HIM!?"
peter kampschroeder (04:16:43): "Ah ah ah not the face!"
Wyverncakes (04:16:44): Vespasianus: "Ah... but he did!"
Wyverncakes (04:16:58): "However... did you not forget my familiars?"
Wyverncakes (04:17:07): "I had but to sacrifice one to continue living!"
peter kampschroeder (04:17:26): "Cheating son of a-" Eibon: "Familiar replacement...a simple trick, for a simple man."
Wyverncakes (04:17:34): "How unfortunate to lose Galva... but you shall do well to replace him, false sorcerer!"
Wyverncakes (04:17:48): And Roads, you're suddenly feeling all the power drain from you and your machine, flowing into the Cykranosh!
Wyverncakes (04:17:51): (React: Roads)
sketchbookfiend (04:17:53): Kuuga: "...is this just a team full of people that backstab each other. How did you even make a functioning criminal organization."
Aero (04:18:20): Al: "I guess they were relying on Master Therion to coordinate themselves."
Wyverncakes (04:18:28): Vespasianus: "It was child's play to divert the power Augustus was drawing from Cthulhu and claim it for myself... and now with Titus gone, it shall be Emperor Vespasianus who rules this world!"
tengusaur (04:18:36): Werter: "The same Master Therion they backstabbed themselves..."
VJockey (04:18:47): # Roads
Wyverncakes (04:18:55): (Approved)
peter kampschroeder (04:19:30): *"Ghh...Stupid little-" The Zweilicht's knives, left unused for literally hundreds of missions now, are suddenly feeling real handy right now. One pops out of a small hatch on the side of it's leg, and Roads will try to grab it and hack away at the tentacles.+
VJockey (04:19:54): *Hey Vespasianus. There's a pair of blades drawn and charging at you - both being wielded by Sam AND Blade Wolf to slash up those tentacles.... the difference though from other times?
VJockey (04:20:07): Those weren't their swords!+
Wyverncakes (04:21:05): [Roads and Sam] And fortunately between all of you, those tentacles get shredded to bits!
Wyverncakes (04:21:15): ... Before already starting to regenerate, though. Stupid Cthulhu powers!
Wyverncakes (04:21:59): Vespasianus is laughing gleefully on top of everything else. "Yes... yes... your powers are remarkable, but with three lives still and the power of Cthulhu... you failed to even slay Augustus even once without my assistance!"
Wyverncakes (04:22:05): "What makes you think-"
peter kampschroeder (04:22:08): Yeah, but now Roads is free enough to switch to his sword. "False sorcerer I may be, but I've killed you once already!"
Wyverncakes (04:22:14): ???: "Then they'll have my assistance."
Aero (04:22:31): Kurou: "!?"
Wyverncakes (04:22:50): And suddenly... the entirety of Cykronash is just... erased from existence.
Wyverncakes (04:22:59): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=temJ0ltu0o8
sketchbookfiend (04:23:07): Kuuga: "...wow that was twice in two minute- WAIT A SECOND."
tengusaur (04:23:17): Werter: "What the... Just like this?"
Wyverncakes (04:23:22): Vespasianus crashes to the ground in disbelief, looking up... and in just absolute horror.
peter kampschroeder (04:23:25): Eibon: "Ah."
Wyverncakes (04:23:28): Vespasianus: "N-Nero...!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:23:28): Leopold: "I'll say it. I'm lost."
VJockey (04:23:40): "Hm?"
Wyverncakes (04:23:43): From behind you, there's a profound ripping noise.
griefgathering (04:23:49): All this magic stuff is going over Raiden's head, but he's preparing himself just in case...
Wyverncakes (04:24:01): And from Cthulhu's very heart, the 200 meter tall Deus Machina tears itself free.
Wyverncakes (04:24:05): ([the Nameless One]: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/11rd6pc.png/300310988/11rd6pc.png)
Aero (04:24:16): Kurou: "So that's where it went."
tengusaur (04:24:30): Werter: "This giant thing again!"
Aero (04:24:31): Al: "All you need to know is that they're fighting each other over control for Cthulhu."
Wyverncakes (04:24:35): Nero?: "Cthulhu's power? Insignificant. I won't kill you."
Wyverncakes (04:24:49): "I'll just erase you. You can't revive if you don't really die, eh?"
Wyverncakes (04:25:16): Finger by finger, toe by toe. Arm by arm. Layer of skin by layer of skin... Vespasianus is suddenly erased before your very eyes.
sketchbookfiend (04:25:31): Kuuga throws the Rising Dragon Rod over his shoulder and once it leaves his hand it poofs back into a steel pipe. Yusuke stares up at the new beast super robot. "Well that's ... unfortunate for him."
ZebulonCrispi (04:25:32): Leopold: "Wow, this is pointlessly evil."
VJockey (04:25:34): "Hm... Well that was mildly disturbing."
Wyverncakes (04:25:46): Nero?: "Well of course it's pointlessly evil!"
Wyverncakes (04:25:54): "I'm Nero! The greatest of the Anticross!"
Wyverncakes (04:26:02): "A sinner even amongst sinners, a heretic amongst heretics!"
Wyverncakes (04:26:12): "The damned soul even others fear and flee from!"
tengusaur (04:26:14): Werter: "Another Anticross member dies horribly... To be fair, they kinda deserve it, but still..."
VJockey (04:26:32): "So when is the next person on the ladder going to stab you in the back eh?"
Aero (04:26:43): Kurou: "You're not even going to confront us yourself now that you've gotten rid of the others?"
VJockey (04:26:46): [Sam's just going to smirk cockily at Nero.]
Wyverncakes (04:26:47): [the Nameless One]'s cockpit block then opens up, and gazing inside, you can see nothing but shadows and bloody, pulsing tentacles.
sketchbookfiend (04:26:59): Kuuga: "...Looking at the robot, I think this is the top Sam."
VJockey (04:26:59): *Nero?
Wyverncakes (04:27:03): "Oh Kurou... I'm all that's left."
Wyverncakes (04:27:11): "Of course now it comes down to us."
Wyverncakes (04:27:16): And out steps...
Wyverncakes (04:27:21): (Nero: http://cgv.blicky.net/dmb/0914.jpg)
Wyverncakes (04:27:26): A girl smiling brightly.
Aero (04:27:35): Kurou: "...."
peter kampschroeder (04:27:37): Eibon: "..." Roads: "..."
VJockey (04:27:39): Sam: ".............."
tengusaur (04:27:41): Werter: "...I didn't expect that."
ZebulonCrispi (04:27:42): Leopold: "Words fail me."
Wyverncakes (04:27:42): Nero: "Ta-da-daaaaa!"
sketchbookfiend (04:27:54): Kuuga: "....again!?"
Aero (04:27:57): Kurou: "I guess I should have known."
VJockey (04:27:59): Wolf: "Raiden. There is a girl there."
Wyverncakes (04:28:01): Nero: "So Kurou, you've been getting a lot of mileage out of my guns, haven't you?"
peter kampschroeder (04:28:09): Eibon: "There is a monster."
Aero (04:28:12): Kurou: "Yeah, they've been pretty useful Ennea."
Wyverncakes (04:28:17): "I'm really glad! They're my favorites, but it wouldn't feel right if I didn't give myself a little handicap going into this!"
griefgathering (04:28:25): Raiden: "You've gotta be kidding me..."
Aero (04:28:38): Al: "Don't underestimate her. She is the most powerful sorcerer from our Universe."
tengusaur (04:28:47): Werter: "Huh? She is the one who gave you your guns, Kurou?"
Wyverncakes (04:28:52): Nero: "Bingo, Al~!"
tengusaur (04:28:53): Werter: "The guns that never miss?"
Wyverncakes (04:28:58): "I'm the biggest, the worst of the worst!"
Aero (04:29:18): Kurou: "Both of them, she also lived with me for a bit...I thought she died but...when I talked to Nero the last time well.."
Wyverncakes (04:29:20): "I'm so bad, I'm just as worthy of the title of 'Master Therion' as the guy that the other Anticross backstabbed!"
sketchbookfiend (04:29:32): Kuuga: "...I would ask why is she a little girl, but considering you guys..." said towards Al.
tengusaur (04:29:49): Werter: "She's pretty obsessed with card-carrying villainy, huh..."
peter kampschroeder (04:29:51): Eibon: "Appearances can be deceiving."
Wyverncakes (04:29:55): "After all... of all of the Black Lodge's leaders, I'm the only one left, aren't I?"
Wyverncakes (04:29:58): She smiles.
Aero (04:30:04): Al: "Do not give her any mercy Kuuga."
Wyverncakes (04:30:06): "So that gives me the title by default anyways!"
Wyverncakes (04:30:28): "So! How about you all try miserably to kill me and then I'll just go and kill all of you instead! Okay? Okay!"
Wyverncakes (04:30:33): She claps energetically.
Aero (04:30:53): Kurou: "You could always just give up and stop all of this Ennea."
Wyverncakes (04:31:16): At that, her enthusiasm suddenly drains away.
Wyverncakes (04:31:22): "No Kurou. I'm afraid I can't."
Wyverncakes (04:31:39): "You're forgetting, I'm the sinner amongst sinners."
VJockey (04:31:45): "... Truly wishful thinking."
Wyverncakes (04:31:47): "I alone committed a horrible act to forever damn me."
Wyverncakes (04:31:55): "I can't even remember why, but I did."
Aero (04:32:01): Kurou: "You're laying it on a bit thick you know. If you just stopped now I'd even forgive you."
tengusaur (04:32:06): Werter: "If it's suddenly possible to use the De Maligny clock, I feel like this would be the best moment. Just a suggestion."
Wyverncakes (04:32:07): "And so here we are, on the battlefield again."
Aero (04:32:31): Al: "Understood."
Wyverncakes (04:32:43): Nero: "I'm not laying it on thick! The Ennea you knew didn't even really exist in the first place!"
Wyverncakes (04:32:48): "For that matter..."
Aero (04:32:56): While Kurou talks to Ennea/Nero Al activates De Maligny Clock to repair the damage done to the Chalice Forces here.
Aero (04:33:04): Thank you sub-pilots.
Wyverncakes (04:33:13): And she suddenly makes a small gesture, with the tentacles inside of [the Nameless One] pulling out...
peter kampschroeder (04:33:24): Eibon: "...It seems once again the end of days draws near..."
Wyverncakes (04:33:58): A strange girl in yellow and purple...
Wyverncakes (04:34:09): Mystery Girl: "Cthulhu... R'lyeh..."
Aero (04:34:11): Al: "The Rlyeh Text."
Wyverncakes (04:34:13): (Girl: http://s3.zerochan.net/Demonbane.240.655340.jpg)
Wyverncakes (04:34:24): Nero: "Exactly! Now what's what's gonna happen!"
Wyverncakes (04:34:34): And the tentacles... suddenly crush the grimoire!
tengusaur (04:34:43): Werter: "Another girl boo- gah@!"
peter kampschroeder (04:34:48): Eibon: "...?!"
sketchbookfiend (04:34:50): Kuuga: "WHA-!?"
Wyverncakes (04:34:51): It explodes in a shower of pages everywhere, Cthulhu all around you suddenly rumbling!
peter kampschroeder (04:34:58): Yeah even the grimoire is confused now.
Aero (04:35:08): Al: "What are you doing Nero!?"
Wyverncakes (04:35:10): Nero: "I just destroyed Cthulhu's safety protocols."
Aero (04:35:17): Al: "!"
Wyverncakes (04:35:30): "The entire Great Old One's going to be going berserk now, polluting, corrupting the world as we know it!"
VJockey (04:35:52): "..Ah... well I'm sorry but..."
VJockey (04:35:59): "Humanity already beat you to it."
VJockey (04:36:08): "In either case we'll just defeat you anyway."
Wyverncakes (04:36:09): With her magical prowess, it's easy enough to transmit images right into your brains! Images of Cthulhu as you know it... but with thousands upon millions upon billions of eyes and mouths opening up... spraying a red, disgusting liquid into the water!
griefgathering (04:36:30): Raiden: "To think that this thing had safety protocols."
Wyverncakes (04:36:32): Everything it touchs... man, machine, animal... twists and writhes, becoming a monstrous shadow of its former self!
Wyverncakes (04:36:43): Nero: "Yep! Even Cthulhu has to be restrained every now and then!"
Aero (04:36:44): Kurou: "Tch..."
Wyverncakes (04:36:48): "And now the kid gloves are off!"
tengusaur (04:36:54): Werter: "Why did you even do this? Because you're evil?"
Wyverncakes (04:36:56): "I'd say... it'll take a day at most to ruin this planet!"
Aero (04:36:57): Kurou: "You're really going to force this?"
sketchbookfiend (04:37:01): Kuuga: "Ugh...she's serious about us fighting her."
peter kampschroeder (04:37:11): Roads: "Where's the TSAB when you need them for some orbital fire support..."
Wyverncakes (04:37:16): "So screw Second Impact, I'll get a fiddle and play as the whole world burns!"
tengusaur (04:37:17): Werter: "It will take us less than a day to destroy this thing!"
Wyverncakes (04:37:33): At that last line, Werter, Nero smiles.
Wyverncakes (04:37:41): Nero: "Then you better start soon."
Wyverncakes (04:37:49): (Enemies: [the Nameless One])
Wyverncakes (04:37:56): (Objective: Destroy [the Nameless One])
tengusaur (04:38:00): Werter: "Invitation accepted."
Wyverncakes (04:38:13): (Yusuke, Sam, Leopold, Raiden)
peter kampschroeder (04:38:45): Eibon: "Master, that which you have pledged to fight looms near. Do not-" "Yeah, yeah, don't hold back, push back the apocalypse. Don't have to tell me twice."
VJockey (04:40:04): *Sam glances at Raiden and Blade Wolf before giving them both a nod. What does he do other than charge into the fray? Leaping up and swinging the massive blade in his hands at [the Nameless One]&
ZebulonCrispi (04:40:09): Bismuth: "Super Bismuth..."
ZebulonCrispi (04:40:24): Leopold: "...MEGATON PUNCH!"
Aero (04:40:30): Al: "Kurou." "Yeah I know, I'm not going to hold back..." That was not said with a lot of conviction.
ZebulonCrispi (04:40:47): * With an uncomplicated strategy, Super Bismuth blasts forward despite its damaged state, turning one hand huge and punching the shit out of [the Nameless One]. +
Wyverncakes (04:42:19): [Sam] As you charge towards [the Nameless One], Nero's rolling back into the cockpit like a little kid... but the words she speaks afterwards are far more sinister. "Spell Selection: Sword Spell." And at that, one of the machine's humongous limbs twists and morphs into a huge blade, crashing down and blocking the blade you borrowed from Ogre!
Wyverncakes (04:42:23): (Continue: Sam)
VJockey (04:43:12): "Blondie! Wolf!"
griefgathering (04:44:33): Raiden: *"End of the world, huh? Not if I've got anything to say about it." With that, the cyborg ninja finally grabs one of the swords from Ogre - manhandling it through brute technological strength! He breaks into a dash and leaps up to swing his borrowed blade at the Nameless One after Sam grabs its attention!+
Wyverncakes (04:44:36): [Super Bismuth] Actually, Leo, Super Bismuth is running at peak performance right now thanks to the regenerative powers of the De Maligny Clock! Hooray for bullshit magic being used by the forces of Good! And as you begin to pound into the humongous machine, denting up its body bit by bit... "Spell Selection: Bullet Spell!" And suddenly [the Nameless One]'s other arm is morphing into a massive gun, firing bullets that are homing in on Super Bismuth!
Wyverncakes (04:44:41): (React: Bismuth team)
ZebulonCrispi (04:45:03): (Metal bullets?)
sketchbookfiend (04:45:35): *Kuuga watches Sam and the others- and gets the same idea, changing into Rising Titan form and leaping to grab the giant blade from Ogre. With a flash of the Rider's eyes- the sword slowly changes form into a colossal Rising Titan Sword, he pulls hard and swings the giant blade towards [the Nameless One] as it surges with electricity.+
Wyverncakes (04:45:41): (Crazy-ass magic bullets.)
VJockey (04:46:01): ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgucqtd5rYk&feature=youtu.be&t=2m43s )
ZebulonCrispi (04:46:17): * That's enough damage for now! Super Bismuth falls back, pounding the homing shots with Negaforce Rays until they disappear or it's too late. +
Wyverncakes (04:47:20): [Raiden and Yusuke] And the two of you join in on the slashy fun! Your combined choppy-itude cleaves off one of [the Nameless One]'s arms... and it falls to the ground and explodes from the power of Kuuga!
Wyverncakes (04:47:22): BUT!
Wyverncakes (04:47:32): ... Another one's appearing to take its place!
Wyverncakes (04:47:44): Nero: "Awwwwwww... you really tried with that too! Teamwork and everything!"
Wyverncakes (04:48:13): "But you silly billies all forgot Cthulhu's power!" And with a sweeping move, Raiden, Sam, and Kuuga are are all knocked back to the floorr!
VJockey (04:48:14): *Blade Wolf is going to leap up and swing the massive blade it had gripped in its tail at [the Nameless One] from above while Sam pulls back to strike from below!+
VJockey (04:48:19): (DERP)
VJockey (04:48:25): (slowness sorry)
Wyverncakes (04:48:39): (It's okay. Blade Wolf totally helped out take out that arm for what it's worht!)
Wyverncakes (04:48:56): (Kurou, Werter, Roads)
Aero (04:49:39): * Demonbane summons the two spell pistols again and takes aim at the Nameless One. "Tch..." Shots are fired out but the output is lacking. +
Wyverncakes (04:50:01): [Super Bismuth] There's a lot of energy to negate, and a lot of bullets with energy too, Super Bismuth! But fortunately you do manage to erase more than a few, and weaken the others so their homing properties lessen enough to veer off! You still get hit in a couple of places though...
peter kampschroeder (04:50:33): *Yeah, some other people here are more sword guys than Roads is. So the master bulletmancer opens fire with his rifle, pushing it far past its normal limits and making it heat up like crazy as he goes. "Kurou! Stop holding back!"+
Aero (04:51:03): Kurou: "I'm not!"
Aero (04:51:07): At least intentionally.
griefgathering (04:51:48): "Guh!" Raiden handsprings to recover from that hit, skidding after he does.
Wyverncakes (04:52:02): [Kurou] "Oh hey, you're using them!" Nero exclaims with glee as the Bullet Spell rounds are fired in response to Ithaqua's rounds, intercepting every single one of them! As for Cthugha. "And it's okay, Roads. Even at full power that kind of weapon's nothing to me! See? Spell Selection: Cannon Spell!" And with that, a huge beam of energy is fired from [the Nameless One], overpowering the Cthugha shots as well and hurtling straight towards Demonbane!
Aero (04:53:15): Al: "Kurou!"
sketchbookfiend (04:53:26): Kuuga pushes himself back up from the ground, breathing heavily. Swinging a giant sword is hard work. "Geez..."
peter kampschroeder (04:53:50): "Grrr..."
VJockey (04:53:54): Sam: "Tch... well... at least she's making it worth our time."
sketchbookfiend (04:54:21): Kuuga: "I would have preferred if she hadn't, given what's at stake...but nothing is ever that easy."
Aero (04:54:39): * "Argh FINE I GET IT, THIS IS MY JOB RIGHT. THE INNOCENT BLADE THAT SMITES EVIL. FINE. CTHUGHA, ITHAQUA...GOD BEAST BULLET." Demonbane brings it's two pistols together and unleashes the power of Cthugha and Ithaqua to devour the beam and attack The Nameless One. +
tengusaur (04:54:41): *Werter: "Time for an eye for an eye... And with any luck, you're weak against those...!" A dozen of long plasma tentacles grows from Prometheus back! But they're not normal tentacles anymore - instead, they have broad blades at the end! Werter jumps in, slashing with the numerous blades at what could be weak points of the gigantic mecha! The attacks are coming from all directions! +
Wyverncakes (04:54:47): [Roads] And your bullets cover part of [the Nameless One]'s body, riddling it with holes that are already starting to be mended. "And neither's that kind of damage! Man, it must really suck when you don't even have even an imitation Deus Machina. You totally get an A for Effort though! Also an A for Getting Stabbed!" Time for the Deus Machina to also start slashing you up too!
Wyverncakes (04:54:49): (React: Roads)
peter kampschroeder (04:56:15): *Well, the imitation deus machina is at least quick; Roads will backslide like all the great castlevania heroes.+ "Seriously Eibon, what happened to that Deus machina of yours?!" "It was destroyed. Keep fighting!"
Wyverncakes (04:56:37): [Kurou and Werter] The fiery beast and the icy dragon take off even as the plasma spaghetti monster joins in the fun! [the Nameless One] gets pulverized, torn up, blown apart, with its cockpit block appearing visible for a few scant seconds before it's already healing right back up.
Wyverncakes (04:57:02): Nero: "Ah... tentacles. That's... kinda mean. Especially after having to fake being those guys's captive so I could wait around, you know!"
Wyverncakes (04:57:16): (Yusuke, Sam, Leo, Raiden)
sketchbookfiend (04:57:31): Kuuga: "You guys got any other ideas?"
Aero (04:57:32): Kurou: "This is going nowhere."
tengusaur (04:57:37): Werter: "Do you think I'd play fair against the self-proclaimed most evil person in the world?"
Wyverncakes (04:57:51): [Roads] The sword just tears through the ground where you were seconds ago, leaving bloody spraying everywhere but fortunately you're okay.
Wyverncakes (04:57:58): Nero: "You would if you were a good person."
tengusaur (04:58:51): Werter: "Guess I'm not, then. Instead, I'm a smart one."
ZebulonCrispi (04:59:11): As it turns out, getting time restored to peak condition also restores once-per-battle attacks!
Wyverncakes (04:59:20): Indeed it does!
ZebulonCrispi (04:59:22): Guess what it's time for again.
ZebulonCrispi (04:59:36): Leopold & Bismuth: "Super Bismuth... NEGAFORCE BUSTER!"
VJockey (04:59:57): *Well then this is going to take some serious precision! Sam's suit seems to have this unearthly glow before he suddenly rushes forward, swinging the Ogre-Blade with downright blinding speed! Blade Wolf soon joining the attack with the same level of velocity in its attacks!!+
ZebulonCrispi (04:59:59): *That's two giant anti-beams covering as much of [the Nameless One] as possible! Maybe it will slow down its regeneration a bit.. +
Wyverncakes (05:02:19): [Teams Bismuth and Sam] Fortunately, [the Nameless One] lacks the kind of barriers that the Legacy of Gold did, and it does seem to be slowing down a bit. Not much but... as Sam's sword slashes down the entire length of the behemoth, the damaged section is mending itself much, much, much slower! "G-aaaaaaah... you... jerk!" More homing bullets sent out, this time at Sam and Blade Wolf! Looks like its healing factor is what's being nerfed the hardest by the Negaforce!
Wyverncakes (05:02:21): (React: Sam)
griefgathering (05:02:35): #Sam?
Wyverncakes (05:02:55): (Approved. You can also take your turn after that)
ZebulonCrispi (05:03:06): Leopold: "Quickly, while its regeneration is weakened!"
griefgathering (05:04:05): *And those bullets will be met with a giant SWORD! One that's thrown in the Nameless One's direction too!+
VJockey (05:04:29): *Sam and Wolf are back to back! Sort of... any remaining bullets Raiden couldn't get are countered with SWORD!+
sketchbookfiend (05:05:09): *Kuuga watches his size-SS team mates turn into god speed monsters before preparing his own assault. Not one of speed but of strength and precision. "RISING" He leaps into a thrust towards [the Nameless One] Ogre-blade turned giant Rising Titan Sword glowing ans sparking as he prepares to push forward "CALAMITY"- then the blade goes shooting forward aiming into the center of the Deus Machina "TITAN!" The sword stabs inwards and unleashes a hellish burst of energy to aid it's devastation as Kuuga twists the blade after it's in.+
Wyverncakes (05:07:41): [Sam and Raiden] Raiden's heroic sacrifice of his Metal Gear Excelsus-grade sword is not in vain! Not only does it thin out the number of bullets so that Sam can defend, but it also tears into [the Nameless One]'s side, wrecking much of the machine even as it tries to pull the blade out!
Wyverncakes (05:10:09): [Yusuke] And with its blade arm, [the Nameless One] moves to parry! If it'd been just a normal attack, it would've been a stalemate... but your own blade manages to continue pressing forward! What little [the Nameless One]'s blade stops might be destroyed, but on either side the blade continues pressing forward, and with a furious cry Nero smacks you away into a wall HARD. And that's another sword for Nero to pull free from her Deus Machina.
griefgathering (05:10:18): Following this, Raiden takes to the air...like a rocket.
Wyverncakes (05:10:28): (Kurou, Werter, Roads)
griefgathering (05:10:32): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoPaq06SBjs
sketchbookfiend (05:11:50): Kuuga crashes into a wall with a hard thud. And is caught by BeatGouram as he falls back to the ground. "Sss- literally hits like a truck....got her though."
Wyverncakes (05:12:08): Nero: "Oh... and what're you going to be doing, mister?"
Wyverncakes (05:12:12): "... Jeez."
griefgathering (05:12:13): *The black-armored ninja descends along those huge blades- sliding down the flat sides and leaping between them while he draws his own, but much smaller sword and starts hacking away at any openings!+
Wyverncakes (05:12:27): "You must be really poor for a cyborg if you can't afford a second ey-aaaaatatataaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Aero (05:13:28): * "...Lemuria..." Again, Kurou abuses the Naacal Code and forms another dark sphere in Demonbane's right hand. Demonbane flies towards the Cockpit of The Nameless One and. "Impact..." Lightly presses the sphere into the Deus Machina. +
tengusaur (05:13:56): *Werter: "Since you don't like those, I have a little surprise for you." All the tentacles growing from Prometheus' back slowly merge into one gigantic one! He pulls it from his back and reshapes it into one, giant weapon around his drill lance! It's the return... of the Tentacle Sword.
tengusaur (05:13:56): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2VGJuPXznc
Wyverncakes (05:14:07): [Raiden] You begin slicing through the body of [the Nameless One], and though its regeneration is starting to pick up, it's still got a while to go! But then... "Spell Selection: Bind Spell." You suddenly just get bound up and held to the side. "Sooorry~~~~~~! Just gimme a second, please!"
tengusaur (05:15:52): * Werter rushes towards the Nameless One, dragging the giant blade behind him on the ground, making it send sparks around, as well as cut, burn and flail into the fleshy surface! And then he jumps up, delivering an upward rising cut with the giant weapon straight to the giant mecha! Moreover, its tentacles are flailing around for even more damage! +
Wyverncakes (05:15:58): [Kurou] Your burning sphere of heat and pressure launches forth, but just as it touches [the Nameless One]... "Speell Selection: Negate Spell." There's a bolt of lightning that shoots down and touches it... and suddenly the entire spell is just completely erased!
peter kampschroeder (05:15:58): *"Damnit, I need more firepower..." Roads ditches the rifle, and draws forth that triple pile bunker shield. "...Master, this seems extremely-" "Too bad!" And the Zweilicht bursts forward with ludicrous speed, becoming more akin to a yellow blur before slamming its pile bunker into the deus machina and firing away.+
Wyverncakes (05:16:07): Nero: "Kurooooooou, that was really, really lame!"
Aero (05:16:24): Kurou: "You've got to be kidding me..."
Wyverncakes (05:16:25): "I mean, you're just faffing around with crappy attacks when you totally have one that could beat me in one hit!"
tengusaur (05:16:31): Werter: "This is the power of a man..." He pushes up his glasses. "Who doesn't play fair!"
Wyverncakes (05:16:36): "Oh, and Spell Selection: Bullet Spell."
Wyverncakes (05:16:56): ... And Demonbane's blown away by a brutal, point-blank assault of magic bullets.
Aero (05:17:19): Well so much for not holding back. Demonbane is getting it's ass whipped.
sketchbookfiend (05:17:36): Kuuga: "Tch, just how strong is she..."
Wyverncakes (05:18:08): Nero: "Worthy of the title of 'Master Therion'! But in terms of power and evilness! You forget or something?"
Wyverncakes (05:18:45): Nero: "Because really... you guys just REALLY lucked out before."
Wyverncakes (05:18:59): "The old Master Therion was really weak after summoning Cthulhu, and you didn't even do any of the dirty work!"
Wyverncakes (05:19:14): "He was old and bored, jaded and disinterested!"
Wyverncakes (05:19:24): "And you couldn't even handle him yourselves!"
Wyverncakes (05:19:29): "So..."
sketchbookfiend (05:19:30): Kuuga: "Well when six people jump out before you do anything -"
Wyverncakes (05:19:37): "Fight. Me. Like. You. Would. HIM!"
Wyverncakes (05:20:53): [Roads and Werter] You both charge at [the Nameless One], slashing and impaling the Deux Machina with both of your machines. More bullets are fired to cut off those tentacles though... and... "Spell Selection: Cannon Spell!" [the Nameless One] turns as firing, just so it can try to hit you both with the same destructive blast!
Wyverncakes (05:21:02): (React: Werter and Roads)
Wyverncakes (05:21:15): (Yusuke, Sam, Leo, Raiden)
peter kampschroeder (05:21:52): *Zip zip zip zip away with air-dashes. "What makes you think I'm not?!"+
sketchbookfiend (05:22:13): Kuuga: "It's not like we're not trying...we ARE trying right?" looking at the others on Team SS-sized.
ZebulonCrispi (05:22:26): Leopold: "Should we use another..."
ZebulonCrispi (05:22:41): Bismuth: "...no. Not enough power. We must be more discerning."
VJockey (05:23:28): *Well Sam's going to THROW that massive Sword he has at [the Nameless One]. However that's not all.... he was then going to leap onto it along with Blade Wolf, the both of them RUNNING UP the blade, leaping OFF it, Blade Wolf throwing HIS from above... then the two were going to run DOWNHILL from that one! to unleash a pair of diving strikes!+
Wyverncakes (05:23:41): [Roads] It's very much a close call for you, the power of the spell is tearing apart the chamber, and the Zweilicht's frame begins to buckle and melt from the heat of it! Still...
ZebulonCrispi (05:23:46): * Borrowing a trick from an old battle sister, Bismuth turns Super Bismuth's arms into bladed whips, and flies around behind [the Nameless One] while everyone else attacks dead on, slashing repeatedly at its body. +
Wyverncakes (05:24:06): Nero: "Look, you guys are all really nice and trying your hardest. It's not YOUR guys's fault at all!"
griefgathering (05:24:07): Raiden: (to Kuuga) "Not hard enough."
Wyverncakes (05:24:10): "The problem is you don't matter at all!"
tengusaur (05:24:24): * "You seem to be working under the wrong assumptions." Werter jumps away, using a burst of plasma for extra speed. He throws what's left of the Tentacle Sword, sending it spinning to meet that blast and cut through it or explode. Maybe it will even hit the Nameless One if he's lucky and calculated the attack right! "I'm fighting for survival. I can't afford not to pull 100%!" +
Wyverncakes (05:24:29): "And the person who DOES matter keeps losing his nerve!"
Aero (05:24:34): Kurou: "..."
Wyverncakes (05:24:57): "And he can't even argue back to me on this either!"
Wyverncakes (05:25:01): "Because he knows it's true!"
Wyverncakes (05:25:25): "And everything everywhere here is going to die forever and ever because he can't bring himself to kill one little sorcereress who pretended to be nice to him for a week!"
Wyverncakes (05:25:28): "How stupid is that?"
tengusaur (05:26:09): Werter: "Kurou... She's just taunting us, right...?"
VJockey (05:26:23): "Oh I know taunting"
Aero (05:26:24): Kurou: "I..."
VJockey (05:26:28): "This isn't taunting"
peter kampschroeder (05:26:32): Roads: "Kurou I swear to god if you are going to fuck this up-"
Aero (05:26:33): He's not arguing against it.
sketchbookfiend (05:26:49): Kuuga: "...Sounds like he's a decent human being. But since he is, he should know better than to keep holding back. Kurou-san, I feel for you, but you have to get your head in the game. If you're the only one who can stop her then help save the planet before it goes down an eldritch horror toilet!"
Aero (05:26:50): She's right, he is extremely weak when it comes to people he cares about.
Aero (05:27:33): Kurou: "No matter what you say I'm not going to use that thing on you."
peter kampschroeder (05:28:21): Eibon: "...You cannot be serious!"
Aero (05:28:31): In response though...Demonbane acts on it's own...and suddenly the very world around them seems to shift.
Aero (05:28:40): Kurou: "What!"
Wyverncakes (05:28:40): [Sam and Leo] Super Bismuth's arms begin to flay the machine from the back just as Sam and Blade Wolf unveil their awesome acrobatics to begin carving into it from the backside! But Leo... "Spell Selection: Negate Spell!" More electric sparks are sent behind the colossal machine, with each shock more and more of your tentacles getting erased! Better do something about that quickly before you lose a noticeable amount to them!
Wyverncakes (05:28:45): (React: Leo)
sketchbookfiend (05:28:48): *Kuuga decides since it already tried his Titan attack, he may as well just entirely go for it, even if it is inevitable that this'll fail. He surfs BeatGouram as it wheelies into the sky. Changing to Rising Mighty, he gets as high as he can in the chamber before leaping off of Beat Gouram and flying down at Nero's OP mech with a flaming Rising Mighty Kick.+
tengusaur (05:28:48): Werter: "This isn't a game, Kurou! Do you know what will happen if... What's the..."
Aero (05:28:54): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvK42meZ9no
tengusaur (05:28:59): Werter: "Did you do this?"
Wyverncakes (05:29:00): Nero: "Well if you don't, then everyone's gonna die and everyone's gonna be angry."
griefgathering (05:29:23): *In the meantime, Raiden is going to hold up his own sword and focus his Fuel Cell reserve into it - to tear through that binding spell. The nameless blade's frequency then intensifies before he leaps in to complement Sam's slicy-dicey assault!+
peter kampschroeder (05:29:42): Roads: "Oh, damn." Eibon: "He can't control it, can he..."
ZebulonCrispi (05:29:48): *Super Bismuth withdraws again, running out of ways to do decent damage to this thing. +
Aero (05:29:51): And it comes, it comes, it comes. Demonbane has no such qualms about destroying Nero with it. A black hole forms in it's right arm and it draws the Hallowed Branch. The Shining Trapezohedron and points it at The Nameless One.
ZebulonCrispi (05:29:57): Leopold: "We're running out of time, aren't we?"
Aero (05:30:01): Kurou: "Dammit Demonbane stop this!"
Wyverncakes (05:30:03): [Werter] Unfortunately, the power of [the Nameless One]'s cannon spell is just too much. The sword is blown to pieces and the attack then hits Prometheus hard, eradicating one of its arms and part of its body in one go. You're lucky that's all that happened.!
Wyverncakes (05:30:39): [Leo] Fortunately you do manage to fall back... and Nero doesn't press the offensive any more. She's got bigger, worse worries!
tengusaur (05:30:54): Werter: "Ugh, I can't take another hit..."
Wyverncakes (05:31:08): Nero: "Oh... I get it Kurou. Just feigning like you don't really want to do it! Well I'm glad I FINALLY got you to go through with it..."
tengusaur (05:31:53): Werter: "I get the feeling she's plotting something..."
Wyverncakes (05:32:09): [Raiden] And you do break free, carving through [the Nameless One]'s head thanks to the damage that Leo previously inflicted! Of course it's already regenerating...
Aero (05:32:57): * Acting with consent from it's Master, Demonbane charges forwards cut through the Nameless One's arms and destroying them both with a single swing. "DEMONBANE STOP THIS NOW." It doesn't seem to listen and now sets it's eyes on the cockpit of the Nameless One. &
Wyverncakes (05:33:34): [Yusuke] And Nero just... doesn't seem to be concerned much about anything else any more. The Trapezohedron's on the field now, and your kick pounds into the machine... followed up by a huge explosion that rocks it and blows you away! But... the regeneration is picking up again. Soon there'll only be seconds seperating it between damaged and undamaged states, rather than minutes right now...
Wyverncakes (05:33:46): Nero: "Oh Kurou..."
Wyverncakes (05:33:54): ... There's a surprising...
Wyverncakes (05:33:59): ... Happiness in her voice now.
Wyverncakes (05:34:13): "You don't have to stop it. It knows what's best."
Wyverncakes (05:35:17): [Kurou] [the Nameless One] doesn't resist at all. The limbs are cut off, banished into the eldritch hellhole that Tiberius is still stuck in. They don't regenerate either...
Wyverncakes (05:35:33): (Kurou, continue)
Aero (05:39:21): * "To hell with that!" And then Demonbane impales the Trapezohedron...into the heart of Cthulhu below the Nameless One. "This isn't what's best, it'll only leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth if I did that!" And instead he cuts off the remaining limbs of The Nameless One and then dispels the Trapezohedron. Demonbane then pries open the Cockpit of the Nameless One. +
peter kampschroeder (05:40:14): Eibon: "That damn fool-!"
Wyverncakes (05:40:25): [Kurou] And just as it seems you really will go through with it, you can hear Nero mutter "... I finally win... Nyarla- what?!?"
Wyverncakes (05:40:41): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deg1RHwmKpo
Aero (05:41:11): Kurou then does something even more stupid, he leaves the cockpit of Demonbane and dispels Magius Form. "Yo you troublemaker."
Wyverncakes (05:41:18): [the Nameless One], rather than being destroyed and Nero along with it, it merely absolutely crippled beyond recovery... and as Cthulhu's heart is impaled, another roar shakes the entire chamber!
griefgathering (05:41:42): Raiden: "What the hell?!"
peter kampschroeder (05:41:44): Roads: "Uhhh, I think that's our cue to leave..."
Wyverncakes (05:41:45): ... Nero ends up stumbling and rolling out of her Deus Machina, landing comically right on her head.
Wyverncakes (05:41:57): Nero: "... Kurou..."
Wyverncakes (05:42:10): "... You could've... you should've... but..."
VJockey (05:42:13): [Sam lets out an exasperated noise and just shakes his head. Either way its time to bail.]
Aero (05:42:13): Kurou: "I just killed Cthulhu, just let me deal with this one first."
sketchbookfiend (05:42:15): Kuuga: "...You know in retrospect we shouldn't have shoved the magic stick into the thing we were still in."
Wyverncakes (05:42:18): She looks up at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
tengusaur (05:42:32): Werter: "No... I think she wanted him to stab her with that attack, for whatever reason."
Wyverncakes (05:42:48): "I wanted... you to banish me from this cycle..."
sketchbookfiend (05:42:49): Kuuga: "No I get that but I mean we could have left he was going to do that."
Wyverncakes (05:42:53): "Break the wheel of fate..."
Wyverncakes (05:43:09): "I couldn't kill myself, and even if I did then it would've have changed anything..."
tengusaur (05:43:20): Werter: "Whatever plan she had, Kurou foiled. Now, I don't understand everything that's going on, but..."
Aero (05:43:22): Kurou: "Now you're just speaking non-sense."
Aero (05:43:29): Kurou: "It's over."
Wyverncakes (05:43:32): "... But you you saved me because..." she smiles weakly. "Because you're a good person."
Aero (05:43:43): Kurou: "Maybe, or maybe I'm just selfish."
Wyverncakes (05:43:51): "With kindness and friends who can forgive even someone like me when I try my hardest to make you all kill me."
Wyverncakes (05:44:26): Cthulhu rumbles again, slightly... but for some reason Nero choses to slide back a ways.
Wyverncakes (05:44:41): "This kind of heroism... I'm always going to remember it."
Aero (05:44:44): Kurou: "Ennea come on, you don't have to die here. Come with me back to the Chalice."
Wyverncakes (05:45:04): "... It can give you strength, strength to face anything. So..."
Wyverncakes (05:45:14): "So next time I'll do it... and even knowing what's in store for me..."
Wyverncakes (05:45:52): And then she takes another step back, slipping into a small hole that had been torn into the floor of the area due to the battle.
Wyverncakes (05:46:00): ... And before any of you can go towards her-
Aero (05:46:09): Kurou: "Ennea!"
Wyverncakes (05:46:12): ... There comes the terrible sound of flesh ripping.
Aero (05:46:21): Kurou: "!"
peter kampschroeder (05:46:24): "Ah, hell-Kurou, we gotta go!"
Wyverncakes (05:46:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So7eaYnIn5s
Wyverncakes (05:46:33): And then...
Wyverncakes (05:46:39): ... A single bloodied hand rising up...
Wyverncakes (05:46:49): For the few of you where were familiar at the massacre at Providence...
tengusaur (05:46:56): Werter: "Kurou, enough. Let's get out of here..."
tengusaur (05:46:59): Werter: "!"
Wyverncakes (05:46:59): ... It'll seem all too familiar.
Aero (05:47:04): Kurou: "No fucking way...."
Wyverncakes (05:47:09): ... The presence suddenly entering the world once more all too real.
sketchbookfiend (05:47:10): Kuuga: "Ah- that's-!"
Aero (05:47:22): Al: "That presence..."
Wyverncakes (05:47:23): And what rises up is not Nero...
Wyverncakes (05:47:26): ... But...
Wyverncakes (05:47:34): Master Therion.
tengusaur (05:47:45): Werter: "...He's alive. Again."
Wyverncakes (05:47:48): (Master Therion: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Master_Therion.JPG/307377148/Master_Therion.JPG)
Aero (05:47:59): Kurou doesn't even need to say anything. He draws Cthugha and immediately fires at the monster.
sketchbookfiend (05:48:03): Kuuga: "But...he's dead...I mean, I've come back from the dead but not like this- how!"
peter kampschroeder (05:48:03): Eibon: "I'd expect no less from the beast of scripture..."
Wyverncakes (05:48:11): Therion: "Daijuuji Kurou... the White Chalice..."
Wyverncakes (05:48:28): He pays no attention to the assault from Cthugha, instead summoning a barrier that stops the attacks cold!
tengusaur (05:48:43): Werter: "Not the first time we thought he's dead for good! How many times do we have to kill him?"
Wyverncakes (05:48:45): "... But I must ask... Kurou... do you always greet people you've never met before in this way?"
Wyverncakes (05:48:58): "And Werter."
Wyverncakes (05:49:02): "You never killed me in the first place."
Aero (05:49:15): Kurou: "What the hell are you talking about, we've killed you twice before."
Wyverncakes (05:49:15): "You're mistaking me frm the one from the last cycle."
Wyverncakes (05:49:21): And with that...
Wyverncakes (05:49:25): Midorikawalaughter.mp3
sketchbookfiend (05:49:28): Kuuga: "...Well if you want to be technical, no- wait what, cycle?"
peter kampschroeder (05:49:31): "...Oh. So that's..."
VJockey (05:49:31): "All this talk of Cycles..."
Wyverncakes (05:49:33): "Kurou..."
Wyverncakes (05:49:40): "... All of you... you don't understand."
Wyverncakes (05:49:44): "I've just been born!"
Wyverncakes (05:49:51): "My personal timeline begins HERE!"
sketchbookfiend (05:49:51): Kuuga: "..................what."
Wyverncakes (05:50:05): "Born from my mother, the greatest human sorcerer my world ever knew!"
tengusaur (05:50:23): Werter: "This is... Some ridiculous reincarnation process..."
Wyverncakes (05:50:29): "My machine..."
sketchbookfiend (05:50:36): Kuuga: "...That...from...but-"
peter kampschroeder (05:50:36): Eibon: "...What..." Roads: "Ah...So he's just been born, now..."
Wyverncakes (05:50:45): He gestures at [the Nameless One]... and what's left of it begins to suddenly crack and fall off...
Wyverncakes (05:50:47): Revealing...
Wyverncakes (05:50:54): ... Liber Legis!
VJockey (05:51:14): "...Well Kurou, I've seen some spectacular failures in my life."
tengusaur (05:51:19): Werter: "And what she said before means... That as long as the cycle is not broken, Master Therion and Liber Legis will keep appearing. Over and over again."
VJockey (05:51:20): "But I think this one tops them all."
tengusaur (05:51:24): Werter: "Not good."
Wyverncakes (05:51:28): (Liber Legis: http://i.imgur.com/VqFURjX.jpg)
sketchbookfiend (05:51:33): Kuuga: "Sam. To be fair...how did he know that would happen?"
Wyverncakes (05:51:34): "And... Etheldreda!"
Wyverncakes (05:51:47): At the mention of the grimoire, suddenly pages begin to flutter in from every which way...
VJockey (05:52:09): "Well to be fair she did seem to want to 'leave' rather badly."
griefgathering (05:52:25): Raiden: "Too late to think about that now."
peter kampschroeder (05:52:27): Roads: "...Kurou, tell me you killed Cthulhu, please. PLEASE?"
sketchbookfiend (05:52:30): Kuuga: "So do a lot of people that want to commit suicide, but they aren
Wyverncakes (05:52:31): Before forming the dark-hared loli hugging him intently.
Wyverncakes (05:52:35): (Etheldreda: http://static.zerochan.net/Etheldreda.full.660376.jpg)
sketchbookfiend (05:52:36): 't usually magic demi-gods"
Aero (05:52:45): Kurou: "I did. This monster here is just as bad though."
tengusaur (05:52:54): Werter: "We didn't know this would have happened..."
Wyverncakes (05:52:55): Master Therion: "Oh? You killed Cthulhu?"
peter kampschroeder (05:52:56): Eibon: "...The Pnakotic Manuscripts...Were you in on this the whole time, too?!"
Wyverncakes (05:53:00): "Why thank you."
tengusaur (05:53:28): Werter: "At least without Cthulhu, there's one evil god fewer. There's only one remaining one, in fact..."
sketchbookfiend (05:53:44): *Kuuga: "So do a lot of people that want to commit suicide, that doesn't make it okay, even if they aren't usually magic demi-gods!"
Wyverncakes (05:53:50): "There was always the chance that the Great Old One might possibly destroy the world... especially with the R'lyeh Text destroyed. And even though it may be dying..."
Wyverncakes (05:54:21): Etheldreda: "I did not need to be..."
Wyverncakes (05:54:30): "My Master is one beyond all others."
Wyverncakes (05:54:36): "Even death is no obstacle to him."
Wyverncakes (05:54:44): "How often has it been one for yours, Eibon?"
Wyverncakes (05:54:51): At that, Master Therion just smiles.
peter kampschroeder (05:54:56): Eibon: "..."
Aero (05:55:03): Al: "Ei..."
Wyverncakes (05:55:18): Master Therion: "Cthulhu has but a few moments left before death finally takes it. I will have to work quickly."
peter kampschroeder (05:55:26): Eibon: "...Master? Please annihilate all traces of their existence."
Wyverncakes (05:55:44): And with that, Master Therion gestures towards you in that bullshit Jedi Knight way... and you suddenly all find yourselves struggling under a tremendous amount of gravity!
Wyverncakes (05:55:55): Like, holy fuck who the fuck does this guy think he is? Shu Shirakawa?
Aero (05:56:00): Well...being outside Demonbane was a bad idea.
Wyverncakes (05:56:05): Also, tough luck, Eibon. Roads can't do jack shit.
sketchbookfiend (05:56:13): Kuuga: "I don't think that'll work when not even the giant revolvers pulled it off, Eibon-san- WAUGH"
Wyverncakes (05:56:27): Master Therion meanwhile is just going to be getting inside of Liber Legis, though he looks amused at you, Kurou.
Aero (05:56:31): Kurou: "Was he holding back last time!"
tengusaur (05:56:35): Werter: "Damn! What are you planning to do with Cthulhu?"
Wyverncakes (05:56:39): "To be at the very epicenter of my spell... and to still have the strength to speak!"
peter kampschroeder (05:56:46): Yeah she is seriously reflecting on some of her life choices now-"Master, dispel it!" "I'm trying, gawd!"
Aero (05:56:48): This hurt...a lot...at least he wasn't turned to paste.
Wyverncakes (05:56:53): "Daijuuji Kurou, you've grown so much even since when you last faced the last me!"
ZebulonCrispi (05:57:08): Super Bismuth struggles valiantly to at least reach one knee.
Aero (05:57:14): Kurou: "Come...back here so I can kill you at least."
griefgathering (05:57:19): Raiden: "This guy is something else...!"
Wyverncakes (05:57:20): And with that, Liber Legis takes off into the air, blowing a hole through Cthulhu and then up into the skies!
Aero (05:57:37): Al: "Kurou you broke it before just focus!"
Wyverncakes (05:57:46): And now...
Wyverncakes (05:57:47): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=temJ0ltu0o
Wyverncakes (05:57:56): "O Though that dwelleth in the darkness of the Outer Void, come forth unto the Earth once more I entreat thee."
Aero (05:58:00): Kurou: "Right..right...break down the spell, break down the spell.Apply my law as a Magus."
Wyverncakes (05:58:05): You can feel the gravity strain lessening...
Wyverncakes (05:58:13): Also, there's that to help speed up the process.
Aero (05:58:19): Kurou: "Got it!"
Wyverncakes (05:58:21): And meanwhile, Cthulhu seems to be... evaporating? Boiling?
Wyverncakes (05:58:26): Whatever the case... you'd better get out quickly!
Wyverncakes (05:58:33): "O Though who abideth beyond the Spheres of Time, hear my supplication."
Aero (05:58:40): Kurou stomps his foot down and there's the sound of SOMETHING shattering.
Wyverncakes (05:58:44): "O Thou who art the Gate and the Way, come forth, come forth, Thy servant calleth Thee."
Wyverncakes (05:58:47): There!
Wyverncakes (05:58:49): You're free!
peter kampschroeder (05:58:50): Roads is trying the same thing, but-yeah Kurou's waaaaay better at this than he is.
Aero (05:58:54): Kurou: "Let's go!"
Wyverncakes (05:59:01): "Come forth! Come forth! I speak the words, I Break Thy bonds, the seal is cast aside!"
Aero (05:59:13): Al: "To be able to break the spell outside of Magius Form...he really has improved."
Wyverncakes (05:59:18): "Pass through the Gate and enter the World, I maketh Thy mighty Sign!"
Aero (05:59:44): Kurou hauls his ass back into Demonbane and then lifts off immediately to chase after Liber Legis.
Aero (05:59:53): Al: "Eibon, you recognize that spell as well don't you."
tengusaur (06:00:04): Werter: "Let's leave! We'll find a way to deal with Therion after we're sure we *won't die here*!" If there's no easy way out, he will just make one with the drill! Cthulhu's falling apart, its flesh cannot be too hard now!
Wyverncakes (06:00:09): "Come forth, Oh God who is the Gate and the Key! Come forth!"
Wyverncakes (06:00:24): Well, actually there's a nice big hole, Werter.
Aero (06:00:30): Al: "Werter he's summoning ANOTHER OUTER GOD."
Wyverncakes (06:00:33): Master Therion was so nice to give you an escape route!
Wyverncakes (06:00:36): Isn't he nice like that?
Wyverncakes (06:00:45): "Oh God who is All-in-One, and One-in-All! Come fourth.....!"
Wyverncakes (06:00:53): "----My father!"
sketchbookfiend (06:01:02): Kuuga: "Time to move guys!" The Rider hops onto BeatGouram as it drives up to him and boosts for speed to get out of this shit hole Old One.
Aero (06:01:05): Al: "Dammit!"
griefgathering (06:01:08): Raiden: "Sam, Wolf!"
tengusaur (06:01:11): Well, that makes it easier. When he's outside, Werter looks for Therion, and then goes straight for him!
Wyverncakes (06:01:14): "YOG-SOTHOTH!"
VJockey (06:01:29): "You don't have to tell us twice blondie!"
VJockey (06:01:38): [Bailing!]
griefgathering (06:01:44): And with that call Raiden bolts straight up and outta there!
tengusaur (06:01:57): Werter: "This one is several grades above Cthulhu, isn't it..."
Wyverncakes (06:02:34): As you escape, you can see Cthulhu being broken down, its polluting blood being taken along with it...
peter kampschroeder (06:02:39): Roads does tarry a bit plundering a certain abandonded grimoire, but he's out quickly enough. Eibon: "...Yes...Yes, yes it is."
Wyverncakes (06:03:05): Becoming nothing more than raw magical energy the entire Great Old One is undone, and behind Liber Legis forms...
Wyverncakes (06:03:07): A gate.
peter kampschroeder (06:03:11): Eibon: "....I'm sorry."
Wyverncakes (06:03:19): A gate that is all things and reaches all things.
Wyverncakes (06:03:32): A portal to that which mankind should not need to know exists.
Wyverncakes (06:03:38): (Yog-Sothoth: http://obdpictures1.wikispaces.com/file/view/Yog_Sothoth_%28Demonbane%29.JPG/307531792/Yog_Sothoth_%28Demonbane%29.JPG)
peter kampschroeder (06:03:42): Eibon: "Because we are all going to die."
Wyverncakes (06:03:46): Master Therion: "Behold...!"
Wyverncakes (06:03:49): "MY FATHER!"
Aero (06:03:54): Al: "Yog Sothoth..."
Aero (06:04:13): Al: "The gate that leads the Outer Gods to it."
Wyverncakes (06:04:22): Master Therion grins.
Wyverncakes (06:04:26): "It leads to many things."
Wyverncakes (06:04:39): "Including the outer universe, where the true ancients live."
tengusaur (06:04:44): Werter: "I expected a bit more in the realm of fleshy tentacles..."
sketchbookfiend (06:04:47): Kuuga: "...Your father is a door?"
Wyverncakes (06:04:48): "Gods of the Great Old Ones!"
Aero (06:04:52): Al: "To all universes, all possibilites. That was his end goal."
Wyverncakes (06:04:54): "After all, Kurou..."
Wyverncakes (06:05:05): "Do you think I would be so foolish as to merely desire the power of Cthulhu?"
sketchbookfiend (06:05:15): Kuuga: "I feel like that would make more sense for a Mother."
Wyverncakes (06:05:27): "Al Azif herself contains the power of three Great Old Ones in addition to other countless other relics!"
Aero (06:05:36): Kurou: "So what, did your previous self just set this all up for you?"
Wyverncakes (06:06:05): "As I will set it up for my next self as well. Such is my fate!"
Wyverncakes (06:06:36): "This gate shall be the undoing of all... ushering in my fellow Outer Gods!"
Wyverncakes (06:07:05): "Ulyaoth."
Wyverncakes (06:07:13): "Xel'lotath."
Wyverncakes (06:07:19): "Chattur'gha."
Wyverncakes (06:07:25): "Mantorok."
Wyverncakes (06:07:27): "Chzo."
Wyverncakes (06:07:29): "Byarla."
Wyverncakes (06:07:33): "Gnix!"
Wyverncakes (06:07:40): "Shuma-Gorath!"
Wyverncakes (06:07:45): "Countless others!"
Wyverncakes (06:08:14): "I am the link between humanity and the other Outer Gods!"
Aero (06:08:28): Kurou: "So then we just need to kill you to break it."
tengusaur (06:08:32): Werter: "Does that mean that if you die, the gate will close?"
Wyverncakes (06:08:36): "And through me and my father, they shall learn of the gateway opening to this Earth!"
peter kampschroeder (06:08:50): Roads: "That stick was just another door, then...?"
Wyverncakes (06:08:51): More Midorikawa laughter.
Wyverncakes (06:08:51): Man
Wyverncakes (06:08:58): It must be a blast laughing like that inside Liber Legis.
Wyverncakes (06:09:07): Like, there'd always be room for one more guy having a blast in there.
Wyverncakes (06:09:20): "Kill me?"
Wyverncakes (06:09:29): "You will be hard pressed to find me!"
Wyverncakes (06:09:33): The gate opens...
peter kampschroeder (06:09:39): "No no no no no no no-"
Wyverncakes (06:09:40): ... And Liber Legis flees into it.
Aero (06:09:42): Kurou: "Running away now!?"
sketchbookfiend (06:09:57): Kuuga: "Figures."
tengusaur (06:10:04): Werter: "Gh! Get back here!"
Wyverncakes (06:10:08): With a resounding thud, Yog-Sothoth seals itself once more... staying motionless in the air.
Aero (06:10:12): Al: "Stop!"
tengusaur (06:10:19): Werter: "...He's smart. Damnit."
Aero (06:10:23): Al: "We can't make a reckless decision."
Wyverncakes (06:10:24): Maxene: "... Everyone... fall back."
Wyverncakes (06:10:29): "Do not go after Therion."
Wyverncakes (06:10:48): "Going after him may as well be a suicide mission as it stands."
VJockey (06:10:59): "Then what do you suggest?"
Wyverncakes (06:11:04): "Time flows differently for the Outer Gods."
tengusaur (06:11:07): Werter: "I wasn't going to. I know better than to go to the place where all those gods hail from..."
griefgathering (06:11:08): Raiden returns his sword to the scabbard on his back as he listens to this.
Wyverncakes (06:11:10): "I should know, considering..."
Wyverncakes (06:11:15): "... Well, you'd never believe me."
tengusaur (06:11:31): Werter: "We have to do something, though. I don't want to see them on Earth."
Aero (06:11:31): Al: "That 'gate' contains paths to every existence."
peter kampschroeder (06:11:42): Roads: "I dunno, I've believed a lot of crazy shit!"
sketchbookfiend (06:11:45): Kuuga: "I think we'd believe anything after that."
Wyverncakes (06:11:51): "Return and resupply. And once I've explained what entering the gate entails, we can decide what to do."
Aero (06:12:20): Kurou: "...I understand."
tengusaur (06:12:52): Werter: "...Alright."
griefgathering (06:12:56): Raiden: "Sounds like a plan. I'll get in touch with Maverick and see what else we can do to help."
Wyverncakes (06:13:29): Well...
Wyverncakes (06:13:35): Things just... continue to spiral out of control
Wyverncakes (06:13:57): But at least right now... the threat of Cthulhu and the Anticross have been completely erased.
Wyverncakes (06:14:03): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
