Mission 102: Only the Good Die Young (part 3)
frifreeman 11:19 pm
(11:19:02 PM): Even with his newfound power, Herb starts to be overwhelmed by the constant assault. Now he's down to using plasma shield to protect himself from the barrage of icicle
(11:19:09 PM): +
Tenebrae Luna 11:19 pm
(11:19:18 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3RpwxHBtXQ Fate flashes away from Signum to gets ome distance as she uses two cartridges. Runes appear around Fate's arm as an orb generates in her hand. She gives Signum a hard look as she prepares to take Signim down. "PLASMAAAA!!! SMAAAAASHEEEER!!!!!" The massive beam roars towards Signum ready to engulf her!+
wyverncakes 11:19 pm
(11:19:46 PM): [Flynn] It's a cunning move... and one that catches your parents completely by surprise! Your father suddenly makes a diving save... throwing himself in front of your mother in the hopes of trying to save her! But too late. Your mother's run through by the icicle... your father's REALLY run through by the icicle, and the others freeze the Elemental solid before it shatters, causing the two to fall to the ground.
(11:19:55 PM): Flynn's mother: "Flynn..."
(11:20:11 PM): Flynn's father coughs up blood, weakly looking up at you. "... Where... did you go wrong?"
wyverncakes 11:21 pm
(11:21:05 PM): [Herb] And even that plasma shield isn't enough! The assault eventually overwhelms even the shield... and it's at that point one of the icicles completely pierces one of Epimetheus's shoulders and renders it pretty much lifeless!
frifreeman 11:21 pm
(11:21:22 PM): Herb: "You fool! This is useless against the true form of Epimetheus! Just relent and let me kill those disciple of baphomets and everything else!"
NightlitEquinox 11:21 pm
(11:21:27 PM): Flynn looks at him, "I didn't, Conor did, when you let him raise me instead of you."
(11:22:04 PM): He then turns towards Herb and Ephemetheus, totally sure of himself now.
Alan Bunting 11:22 pm
(11:22:06 PM): *Chrono pointedly ignores the fact that one entire side of his vision is going pink and wonders what he can even do here. "I'm not sure I can take both of them... eh. That's what multi-target magic is for, right? Stinger Blade! Execution Shift...!" Rather than the dozen blades or so from before, Chrono surrounds Zafira and Shamal with about a hundred, in a dome of sharp, frozen pain, as Chrono swings Durandal down in front of him. "Shoooooot!"+
Tengusaur 11:23 pm
(11:23:16 PM): Werter: "Defense is still not your strongest side, Herb."
wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:08 PM): [Nanoha] The overwhelming assault is unleashed! And the Fire Elemental is finally put down at long last by Nanoha's attack spam! Enoch just has to do its best to grin and bear the hits it takes... but it promptly responds with blasts of magma in response! Shamal is able to protect Zafira and herself, and Signum and protect more or less decently... but Vita however is struck again and again, and she stumbles back before letting out one last berserker cry and moving in to attack you... only to get hit upside the head full-force and be knocked to the ground!
(11:24:14 PM): (Herb: React to Nanoha's beamspam)
(11:24:25 PM): (Nanoha: React to Conor's magma)
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:36 PM): [Fate] And being forced on the defense already by Nanoha's assult, Signum's in no position to deal with your attack as well! The second of the Wolkenritter is floored as well, although she's already struggling to try to get back up on her feet!
Doc S 11:26 pm
(11:26:15 PM): *Magma? Why is it always magma? Nanoha will try to Flash Move away from it, a Round Shield up as usual.+
wyverncakes 11:26 pm
(11:26:18 PM): Flynn's father just coughs up a little bit of blood and smiles bitterly... at which point he closes his eyes and quietly dies.
Doc S 11:26 pm
(11:26:34 PM): She IS going to make sure to protect Vita though if that splashes anywhere near her.
frifreeman 11:26 pm
(11:26:43 PM): Herb: "This is nothing!" *Herb raises Epimetheus' good arm, and a giant arm-cannon materializes from it. Massive, giant blast of green laser shoots from it and he sweeps it across the battlefield, toward nanoha and the path of her beamspam!+
NightlitEquinox 11:27 pm
(11:27:27 PM): # Nanoha
griefgathering has entered the room. 11:27 pm
Akino Ame 11:27 pm
(11:27:37 PM): (Enemy count?)
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:39 PM): (Approved)
(11:27:53 PM): (Conor, Herb, Zafira, Shamal)
(11:28:16 PM): [Chrono] The attackspam does begin to overwhelm even Shamal's defense, and Zafira can only grin and tank it and hope for an opening. One that unfortunately doesn't happen. And made worse: that big blast by Herb does end up blasting them and send them smashing into a wall. But it's also heading towards you as well!
(11:28:27 PM): (In fact: React everyone to Epimetheus's attack!)
Tengusaur 11:28 pm
(11:28:50 PM): (is any wildlife in danger of being blasted here?)
wyverncakes 11:28 pm
(11:28:53 PM): (No)
NightlitEquinox 11:29 pm
(11:29:04 PM): *Two words, cloud cover... or steam cover I guess. As Herb makes the move to shoot at Nanoha, Flynn tries to condense the remaining steam and create a screen making everyone more difficult to hit. He himeself uses his newfound ability in the air to rise as high as he can to get above the attack! +
frifreeman 11:29 pm
(11:29:33 PM): "I'm here tp kill those Disciples of Baphomet, not to play with you guys!" Herb says angrily as he sweeps the giant laser toward everyone
Paul Robles 11:29 pm
(11:29:52 PM): * "Waah!" Yoshika didn't even get an answer to her question, raising her shield to deflect the attack sent her way while also flying back as well+
Doc S 11:30 pm
(11:30:08 PM): *Well damnit Herb, you teamkiller. Nanoha makes sure anyone she wanted to protect behind her and puts up another Wide Area Protection while preparing to dodge.+
wyverncakes 11:30 pm
(11:30:26 PM): [Nanoha and Flynn] The magma blast POUNDS into Nanoha's barrier, overpowering it especially wit all the beamspam Nanoha's done... But thankfully the screen helps her evade the magma blast just like Epimetheus's attack, and it only clips and strikes her entire right side, sending her spiraling to the ground!
Alan Bunting 11:30 pm
(11:30:27 PM): *It's going to take Chrono a moment to recover from throwing out something like that... so he's only going to manage a decent shield and a sharp attempt to get out of the way. Dropping out of the sky might be better than trying to defend...!+
Akino Ame 11:30 pm
(11:30:36 PM): *With Darkwing attached, Ren flew out of the way of the beams until he got under Nanoha's barrier. +
Tengusaur 11:30 pm
(11:30:47 PM): * "If that was the case I wouldn't have minded! But you're also trying to destroy everything natural!" Werter drills into the floor, trying to avoid the attack by quickly getting Prometheus underground!+
wyverncakes 11:31 pm
(11:31:07 PM): The beam also ends up cutting straight through Enoch's midsection, causing it to fall to the ground as Conor grunts in frustration!
Tengusaur 11:31 pm
(11:31:40 PM): Werter: "Have you become the Disciples' crazy opposite or something? Still as crazy, but anti-nature instead of pro-!"
Tenebrae Luna 11:31 pm
(11:31:58 PM): Fate tries to blast away from taking any damage using her superior speed and manueverability.+
wyverncakes 11:32 pm
(11:32:05 PM): And during all of this...
(11:32:19 PM): Nanoha, on the ground you can suddenly see a masked man move towards you!
frifreeman 11:32 pm
(11:32:23 PM): Herb: We don't need nature anymore! Mankind has learned to live without it!
wyverncakes 11:32 pm
(11:32:45 PM): ???: "Defeated. And it could've been different if only she..."
(11:33:15 PM): Chrono! On your side you can see another masked man as well!
Doc S 11:33 pm
(11:33:16 PM): Nanoha reacts accordingly, stepping in front of him and bringing Raising Heart to bear.
wyverncakes 11:33 pm
(11:33:32 PM): (Nanoha, you just got hit by a friggin' ball of magma. You're not really in fighting condition)
Doc S 11:33 pm
(11:33:49 PM): (She knows that, but she's not taking chances)
Tenebrae Luna 11:33 pm
(11:33:59 PM): Fate's eyes harden. "They're here. Time to unmask them."
Alan Bunting 11:34 pm
(11:34:33 PM): Chrono glares as he figures out how to escape the green death laser firing in his general direction. "You... you're...!"
Tengusaur 11:34 pm
(11:34:36 PM): Werter: "What kind of bull is this? We need nature to survive!"
wyverncakes 11:34 pm
(11:34:41 PM): Well, keeping in mind the injuries you've taken Nanoha, the masked man doesn't really seem too shaken. In fact, he just walks by you, giving you a gentle push... more than enough to knock you off your feet again.
Liz Corto 11:34 pm
(11:34:56 PM): *Hoshi has managed to quickly get behind Nanoha's barrier and has her gun to her side, ready to attack at a moment's notice.+ "Hey, what's that for?!"
Paul Robles 11:35 pm
(11:35:12 PM): Yoshika: "Nanoha!"
Doc S 11:35 pm
(11:35:14 PM): And Nanoha just sort of sits down, breathing heavily. You can knock her over with a feather apparently.
Tengusaur 11:35 pm
(11:35:20 PM): Werter: "You might exist without the wilderness, but what kind of existence is that? You were never very smart but now you've gone off the deep end, Herb!"
frifreeman 11:35 pm
(11:35:22 PM): Herb: Just now you're taking me seriously, aren't you Werter! You're always the better one, you always look at me as a joke! You never took our rivalry seriously! Now see who's more powerful!
Tenebrae Luna 11:35 pm
(11:35:38 PM): Fate's eyes widen in worry. "Nanoha!"
wyverncakes 11:35 pm
(11:35:59 PM): [Everyone sans Nanoha] The blast carries immense power behind it, enough that even as you manage to defend or at least evade, the near-misses still leave you winded from the force of the blast! And the Wolkenritter aren't any better off!
Tengusaur 11:36 pm
(11:36:24 PM): After the blast Werter jumps out of the hole he drilled.
wyverncakes 11:36 pm
(11:36:28 PM): Masked Man 1 (Near Nanoha): "However... even in defeat the Wolkenritter can serve a purpose for this Lost Logia"
NightlitEquinox 11:36 pm
(11:36:50 PM): Flynn sighs, tired as he is, he isn't gonna let his guard down so long as he can still move.
Tengusaur 11:36 pm
(11:36:53 PM): Werter: "Damnit, even more bad guys."
wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(11:37:05 PM): And at once the Book of Darkness materializes... at which points Vita, Signum, Shamal, and Zafira suddenly scream in pain... their bodies beginning to disappear!
(11:37:32 PM): Masked Man 2 (Near Chrono): "... Their own energies should suffice to complete the Book fo Darkness."
(11:37:35 PM): OH FUCK!
Doc S 11:37 pm
(11:37:37 PM): Nanoha: NO! Leave them alone!
Tenebrae Luna 11:37 pm
(11:37:37 PM): Fate: W-What?!
Paul Robles 11:37 pm
(11:37:40 PM): Yoshika: "NO!"
wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(11:37:42 PM): ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO LET THIS SHIT FLY?
(11:37:50 PM): (Ren, Yoshika, Hoshi)
Tenebrae Luna 11:38 pm
(11:38:01 PM): Fate: STOP IT!! STOP IT NOW!!!
wyverncakes 11:38 pm
(11:38:07 PM): (New enemy lineup: Gimped Enoch, Herb, Masked Man 1, Masked Man 2)
Tengusaur 11:38 pm
(11:38:12 PM): Werter: "Damnit! Not on my watch!"
Paul Robles 11:38 pm
(11:38:37 PM): *Yoshika immediately flies to protect them, firing as quickly as possible. They didn't deserve this, even if they were seriously misguided!+
Alan Bunting 11:38 pm
(11:38:37 PM): Chrono stares in disbelief, having a pretty good idea of exactly what's going on. "No... no, no, nonono! Stop that! Stop that NOW!" Durandal blazes with light, but it's a moment before Chrono can do anything about it...!
wyverncakes 11:38 pm
(11:38:59 PM): (Which one is Yoshika attacking?)
(11:39:04 PM): (She's very close to Masked Man 2)
Paul Robles 11:39 pm
(11:39:14 PM): (Yep. Masked Man 2)
Akino Ame 11:40 pm
(11:40:02 PM): *{FINAL VENT} Buzzstinger appeared and started firing stingers at Masked Man #1 to try to hold him still while Ren fired arrows at him too. +
Tenebrae Luna 11:40 pm
(11:40:11 PM): @ Yoshika?
wyverncakes 11:40 pm
(11:40:30 PM): (... I'll approve it. But your options are kinda limited after hitting Signum as hard as you did)
wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:19 PM): [Ren] The Man suddenly finds him under attack... though he just grunts and raises his guard and erects a barrier! "... You think this will stop the Book's completion?" The assault still breaks through the barrier... but before you can manage any more suddenly blue bind spells suddenly appear, wrapping you up tightly!
Liz Corto 11:43 pm
(11:43:04 PM): "...how dare you..." Hoshi's head is lowered, her hand gripped into a fist. "How fucking dare you...!" She lets out a loud scream and runs to aim BOTH a Rider Kick to Masked Man #2's stomach
(11:43:05 PM): and then follow it up with a Rider Punch right at his cheek. "As Kamen Rider Vita, I won't stand for this!" +
Tenebrae Luna 11:43 pm
(11:43:31 PM): Fate reaches out towards the Masked Man that Yoshika is attacking. "Bardiche, I'm really going to need your help with this." [YES, SIRE.] Fate fires a salvo of Plasma Lancers at the Masked Man while Bardiche creates a Lightning Bind which snakes out to keep the Masked Man in place!+
wyverncakes 11:44 pm
(11:44:21 PM): [Hoshi] Your attack is suddenly stopped cold though! Freed up from attacks, Masked Man #1 is already tying you up with binding spells too... and in a flash the man charges you, delivering a swift, attacking you with a swift kick of his own!
(11:44:34 PM): (And while all of this plays out: Herb, Flynn, and Werter!)
(11:44:43 PM): (React: Hoshi)
NightlitEquinox 11:45 pm
(11:45:19 PM): Flynn "Werter! We have to take out Herb RIGHT NOW!"
Tengusaur 11:45 pm
(11:45:48 PM): Werter: "Agreed. But there is one thing I understand now..."
NightlitEquinox 11:46 pm
(11:46:13 PM): Flynn "Yeah?"
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:29 PM): [Fate and Yoshika] The assault of other attacks pelts Masked Man #2 all the same though, and his comrade's tied up tying up Hoshi! Still... suddenly the Book appears in front of him behind the barriers! "We have just enough to..." And at once a stream of iron balls suddenly hurtle out at both of you two... the masked man suddenly makes a break for it!
(11:46:35 PM): (React: Yoshika and Fate!)
Tengusaur 11:46 pm
(11:46:48 PM): Werter: "Herb! I know you're not being yourself! The Herb I know would never spout such gibberish!"
Alan Bunting 11:46 pm
(11:46:57 PM): @ Yoshika/Fate
frifreeman 11:47 pm
(11:47:10 PM): "Time to end this rival!" And Herb burst downward toward Werter, with flaming plasma surrounding its chainsword, ready for a slash!
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:18 PM): (Approved!)
frifreeman 11:47 pm
(11:47:18 PM): +
NightlitEquinox 11:47 pm
(11:47:36 PM): Flynn "I'll cover you!"
Tengusaur 11:47 pm
(11:47:38 PM): Werter: "I don't know what caused this in you, but there is another thing I want to tell you!"
NightlitEquinox 11:47 pm
(11:47:41 PM): # Werter.
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:45 PM): (Approved!)
Tengusaur 11:47 pm
(11:47:55 PM): Werter (quietly): "Flynn, help me immobilize him."
Alan Bunting 11:48 pm
(11:48:04 PM): *With split-second timing, Chrono throws Durandal out to one side. "Struggle Bind!" Two rings of bright blue energy wrap around the two masked men with precise control to hold them down. And disable any magical effects, too, as a bonus.+
Tengusaur 11:48 pm
(11:48:15 PM): Werter: "What I wanted to tell you, Herb, is..."
NightlitEquinox 11:48 pm
(11:48:15 PM): Flynn "Got it."
Tengusaur 11:48 pm
(11:48:18 PM): Werter: "I'm sorry."
Tengusaur 11:48 pm
(11:48:47 PM): Werter: "I didn't realize that the way I was treating you all this time hurt you. That you really considered me to be your serious rival."
Liz Corto 11:48 pm
(11:48:48 PM): *While she's running on pure Rider Hotblood, Hoshi's definitely not going to take this easily. She's struggling in her binds as her cape tries to defend against the kicks.
(11:48:49 PM): "Dammit! You won't get away with this!" It seems like the hotblood is enough to engulf the Rider in flames as she sends them down the chains holding her in place.+
NightlitEquinox 11:48 pm
(11:48:59 PM): *Flynn gathers some steam and makes an icicle... it's apparently aimed at Ephemetheus' cockpit!
(11:49:04 PM): &
Tenebrae Luna 11:49 pm
(11:49:04 PM): Fate uses Blitz Action to dodge around the attack while chasing the Masked Man. She attempts to get point blank in front of the man and fire a Plasma Lancer at his face. Her objective? To break his mask and reveal who he is, just as she promised her Onii-chan she would do!+
Tengusaur 11:49 pm
(11:49:16 PM): Werter raises his drill to protect himself in case Herb breaks through the defense.
Paul Robles 11:49 pm
(11:49:50 PM): * Yoshika goes to fly iup and past the iron balls, putting up a shield to deflect them while firing at the escaping masked man from above+
Tengusaur 11:49 pm
(11:49:57 PM): Werter: "I'm sure it's not that resentment that caused you to go nuts, but you feel it, don't you Herb?"
wyverncakes 11:50 pm
(11:50:10 PM): [Flynn] And that icicle hurtles straight at Epimetheus! Herb, you might wanna change your plans!
(11:50:13 PM): (React: Herb)
frifreeman 11:51 pm
(11:51:01 PM): Herb uses the sword to slash the icicle in the air instead of continuing charging toward Werter!
(11:51:05 PM): +
Tengusaur 11:51 pm
(11:51:50 PM): Werter: "If we both get out of this alive... I will treat you seriously from now on. It's a promise!"
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:29 PM): [Hoshi, Chrono, Fate, and Yoshika] Chrono's binding spells suddenly ensnares both of the masked men, stopping them cold! Hoshi, the threat looming over you vanishes in a heartbeat, and you manage to break free! Yoshika, Fate... your efforts see you evade the attacks, and Masked Man 2 takes a hit... his mask shattering... and in fact the glamours are dispelled!
(11:52:33 PM): Revealing...
(11:52:47 PM): Two young looking twin girls...
(11:52:51 PM): ???: http://images.wikia.com/nanoha/images/e/e9/LotteLiese.jpg
Tenebrae Luna 11:53 pm
(11:53:32 PM): Fate just stares for a beat. "...I must admit I wasn't expecting that."
Alan Bunting 11:53 pm
(11:53:41 PM): Chrono is speechless for a moment. "You two... the Lieze twins... how could you do this? How could you consign this world to death?"
Paul Robles 11:53 pm
(11:53:45 PM): Yoshika nods. "...Yeah..."
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:15 PM): [Herb and Flynn] The icicle's cut apart... but now Herb's attack on Werter has come to a screeching halt!
Alan Bunting 11:54 pm
(11:54:25 PM): Chrono: "You KNOW what the Book, no, the Tome is. Admiral Graham knows perfectly well, considering he had to kill my father to stop it the last time it was loose!"
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:32 PM): (Flynn, Werter... if either of you got something in mind, now's the time to do it!)
(11:54:56 PM): The twins flinch nervously as Chrono says this!
Tengusaur 11:54 pm
(11:54:56 PM): *Plasma energy starts to gather inside Prometheus' engine at great intensity, burning brightly and lighting everything around! The robot's eyes start to burn with bright green flames too! And then, suddenly, Prometheus is right next to Epimetheus, striking with his drill lance into his brother's sword hand! &
(11:54:58 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSq_nfTs4Ko
(11:55:19 PM): Werter: "Ghhh.... This better work!"
wyverncakes 11:55 pm
(11:55:38 PM): But at the same time, neither of them speak... knowing that in this kind of situation saying nothing was probably the best course of action!
Alan Bunting 11:55 pm
(11:55:56 PM): Chrono: "Who's the Book's master? Who did those Knights serve before you fed them to the Book to bring us closer to the end of the world?"
(11:56:21 PM): Chrono finally lets his tone rise. "TELL ME! ANSWER ME...!"
wyverncakes 11:56 pm
(11:56:35 PM): [Werter] Prometheus's dril plunges into Epiemetheus's hand! Werter... whatever you've got planned, now's your chance!
NightlitEquinox 11:56 pm
(11:56:42 PM): *That went better than Flynn could have imagined! He condenses his remaining steam and uses it to move around the two halves of the icicle, bending them into a square which he then extends to the ground using the remaining steam in order to freeze Ephemetheus' entire lower body!+
wyverncakes 11:56 pm
(11:56:53 PM): Neither of the Lieze twins says anything... but then, very weakly...
(11:57:10 PM): Shamal: "... Ha... yate... Ya... ga... mi..."
frifreeman 11:57 pm
(11:57:33 PM): Herb just continues screaming, trying to slash at prometheus but he's immobilized now
wyverncakes 11:57 pm
(11:57:34 PM): Even with so much of her magical energy exhausted there was still some life in her still... along with the other Wolkenritter!
Tenebrae Luna 11:57 pm
(11:57:44 PM): Fate takes a second to grab the name. "Hayate Yagami."
Tengusaur 11:57 pm
(11:57:59 PM): *Werter creates a thin, scalpel-like plasma blade into Prometheus' free hand! He slashes with it right over the frozen over Epimetheus' chest, leaving a long cut, then disperses the blade and plunges the hand right inside the torso!+
(11:58:17 PM): Werter: "I know perfectly well where the cockpit is, Herb!"
Alan Bunting 11:58 pm
(11:58:31 PM): Chrono's head snaps around as he takes the whisper in. "Hayate Yagami..." To the Knights, his expression softens somewhat. "I wish you'd told me sooner. We wouldn't have had to do all this."
Paul Robles 11:58 pm
(11:58:33 PM): Yoshika blinked in confusion. "Do we know her?"
wyverncakes 11:59 pm
(11:59:35 PM): [Werter and Flynn] Immobilized and incapable of using its weapon, Epimetheus just has to sit and let itself get cut upen like a Christmas turkey... giving Werter the opening he needs to finally tear Epimetheus's core free!
wyverncakes 12:00 am
(12:00:30 AM): Signum shudders weakly. "... trusting the TSAB... with her name... with anything... was... last resort..."
Tengusaur 12:00 am
(12:00:58 AM): "Haa... Ha... It worked..." Werter opens the piece of metal in his hand carefully with his fingers, while watching the Epimetheus.
Alan Bunting 12:01 am
(12:01:02 AM): Chrono: "I don't recognize the name. But that gives me something to start tracking with."
frifreeman 12:01 am
(12:01:18 AM): And with that, the screaming ends
wyverncakes 12:01 am
(12:01:27 AM): ... And then more screaming begins!
frifreeman 12:01 am
(12:01:36 AM): Epimetheus is now standing lifeless like a broken doll
wyverncakes 12:01 am
(12:01:38 AM): Conor: "They're damaged... weakened...!"
(12:01:44 AM): "I can still... STILL..."
Tengusaur 12:01 am
(12:01:57 AM): Werter: "Shit, I forgot about him...!"
wyverncakes 12:02 am
(12:02:12 AM): AND SUDDENLY a massive blast of a burning tentacle suddenly rockets out, aming to scewer through and melt Epimetheus and Prometheus!

Tengusaur 12:03 am
(12:03:22 AM): Werter cannot move, he's caught by surprise and Prometheus needs to cool down after that attack!
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:22 AM): (Everyone... you know what? Everyone approved. Just take this as a free action)
NightlitEquinox 12:03 am
(12:03:42 AM): Flynn is shocked and he... doesn't have any steam left to defend with!
Tenebrae Luna 12:04 am
(12:04:37 AM): Fate appears near Werter and pops two cartridges to summon a Multiple Denfeser in hopes that all the empowered shields will be enough to protect him and Prometheus.+
Paul Robles 12:06 am
(12:06:04 AM): *Yoshika may not like the little robot much, but still...! She flies toward the burning tentacle, hovering near Werter -fire kinda equals magic, right!- and summons another shield to deflect it and supports Fate's shields+
Alan Bunting 12:06 am
(12:06:33 AM): *Chrono takes flight once more. "Okay, our job's done over here... I'm back to help! Durandal!" [Yes Boss!] The Device's call coincides with a thick layer of ice forming a barrier in front of the attack; Chrono's not stupid enough to get in front of it himself. This is going to be the last of his mana, though...!+
Doc S 12:06 am
(12:06:59 AM): *Something you all forgot was that Nanoha, despite her exhaustion wasn't quite down and out! In fact, there was a soft female voice that stated something that would make everyone pause in surprise: [2... 1... Starlight Breaker.] Nanoha had secretly gathered all of her power while she was taking five minutes and a sandwich, and the massive bombardment spell hurled down at the tendril AND Conor, engulfing the entire battlefield in a explosion of energy!+
Akino Ame 12:07 am
(12:07:02 AM): *{STING VENT} Buzzstinger was summoned again, firing spikes at the tentacle to try to hold it off. {WHIRL VENT} And after that, Guldmirage was summoned, hurling its wind-and-fire-wheel at the tentacle as well. +
Liz Corto 12:08 am
(12:08:32 AM): *Looks like it's time to fight fire with fire! Still enveloped in flames, she hovers over to the group and in front of Fate's shields come out four powerful spheres of fire to deal maximum damage!
(12:08:33 AM): And, just to add insult to injury, she yet again summoned a meteor to add more firepower (ba dum tish) to the already impressive set of attacks.+
Alan Bunting 12:09 am
(12:09:15 AM): Chrono pales as he hears Raising Heart's spell call and throws everything into this shield, since he's going to lose shield strength to the Breaker too.
wyverncakes 12:11 am
(12:11:18 AM): [Everyone supporting] Ther barriers colide against the joint barriers of Yoshika, Chrono, and Fate... stopping it from surging on ahead and destroying Prometheus! And in the meantime... Ren's Vents, Yoshika's own shots, Vita's flames... and then Nanoha's all-or-nothing assault bathe the entire elemental and Conor in one furious blast! The leader of the Disciples of Baphomet screams out in pain, his Elemental being all but destroyed underneath up before finally, his entire lower body is crushed by Vita's meteor.
(12:11:29 AM): Err, Hoshi/Vita, not Wolkenritter Vita
(12:12:45 AM): And yet still... the barest vines of Enoch continue to move forward, burning almost as if it has the flames of hell before swinging up, lashing at Prometheus in one last desperate stab for victory!
(12:12:53 AM): (React: Werter. No support defends this time)
wyverncakes 12:13 am
(12:13:24 AM): Conor: "... Losing here..."
Rafflesia Sky has left the room. 12:13 am
Tengusaur 12:13 am
(12:13:27 AM): Werter: "Thanks, everyone...! You really saved my skin out there! Now it's my turn..."
wyverncakes 12:13 am
(12:13:44 AM): "... Death by plague or age or hunger or... or..."
(12:13:58 AM): The ruined body of the man can only groan from the pain.
Rafflesia Sky has entered the room. 12:14 am
Tengusaur 12:14 am
(12:14:15 AM): Prometheus jumps back, dropping two globules of plasma to the ground. The globules suddenly turn into spears, which pierce through Enoch's limbs and lift it up to the sky! &
wyverncakes 12:14 am
(12:14:18 AM): "... dying... at the hands of Prometheus and its allies...!!!!!"
NightlitEquinox 12:14 am
(12:14:22 AM): Flynn stares at him. What is he doing now?
Tengusaur 12:14 am
(12:14:50 AM): Werter: "I thought you're not afraid of dying? That it's a part of the cycle of nature?"
wyverncakes 12:15 am
(12:15:02 AM): [Prometheus] The limbs stretch out, just barely scraping Prometheus's body before being stopped cold by the spears impaling it, at which point they're hefted up...!
NightlitEquinox 12:15 am
(12:15:14 AM): Flynn "Werter, I don't think that's what he's doing!"
wyverncakes 12:15 am
(12:15:27 AM): Conor: "... Death is inevitable... but I... will not be denied my pride!"
NightlitEquinox 12:15 am
(12:15:47 AM): Flynn "...Blood sacrifice!?"
wyverncakes 12:16 am
(12:16:15 AM): ... And suddenly, Flynn's dying mother cries out!
Tengusaur 12:16 am
(12:16:25 AM): Werter: "You disgust me, Conor! Your actions brought death and misery to thousands, and what did you accomplish? You didn't improve the Earth's environment at all! If anything, you made it worse!"
(12:16:38 AM): Werter: "I will give you the proud death you want so much."
wyverncakes 12:16 am
(12:16:40 AM): "... C-Conor! We... we can still...!"
NightlitEquinox 12:17 am
(12:17:33 AM): Flynn stares, "Conor! Don't do it!" Flynn has an idea what he's going to do... and if he
wyverncakes 12:17 am
(12:17:35 AM): And indeed... for anyone willing to look, you'll see the other three Disciples of Baphomet still alive weakly trying to move...
NightlitEquinox 12:17 am
(12:17:37 AM): s right then... then...
(12:18:01 AM): Flynn actually has no idea what will happen... but he knows that it will be bad.
Tengusaur 12:18 am
(12:18:07 AM): *Prometheus' eyes blink bright green once again, and the white robot raises its drill lance high up! It starts to spin quickly, spreading plasma around, which envelopes Prometheus in what looks like a gigantic green spinning drill! And the drill flies towards Conor, with Prometheus inside it! +
(12:18:08 AM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=LnQmzWbT2NQ
(12:18:26 AM): Werter: "This is the end for you."
wyverncakes 12:19 am
(12:19:32 AM): [Werter] And watching the drill hurtle at him... Conor just weakly fumbles around... right before finding a nice, sharp rock fragment, which he weakly raises up to his neck. "... And the end for you isn't far behind, Werter Wolf... EARTH!"
wyverncakes 12:19 am
(12:19:53 AM): And just as the drill tears Conor apart, he slits his own throat nice and deep.
(12:19:58 AM): "WATER!"
(12:20:22 AM): The voice is Flynn's mother, right before she stabs herself once more on the icicle that killed Flynn's father!
(12:20:59 AM): "FIRE!" Not much to say about that Disciple, he just lit himself aflame on one of the fires created during the battle.
(12:21:12 AM): "WIND!"
NightlitEquinox 12:21 am
(12:21:30 AM): Flynn "Oh god! If this is right... NO IT'S NOT TIME YET!"
Tengusaur 12:21 am
(12:21:46 AM): Prometheus lands behind the devastated Enoch on the ground in a three-point pose.
wyverncakes 12:22 am
(12:22:00 AM): The fourth Disciple's word is nothing more than a pained gasp in the end... as spontaneously his entire body seems to deflate; all air being drained away from him.
Tengusaur 12:22 am
(12:22:24 AM): Werter: "...This is some kind of ritual, isn't it?"
NightlitEquinox 12:22 am
(12:22:35 AM): Flynn "YES!"
wyverncakes 12:22 am
(12:22:36 AM): "BLOOD!" And the last, with berserk, dying strength, tears his wrists open.
NightlitEquinox 12:22 am
(12:22:48 AM): Flynn is pretty much terrified right now.
wyverncakes 12:22 am
(12:22:48 AM): And at first, nothing seems to happen...
Tengusaur 12:23 am
(12:23:07 AM): (If the music is still playing, this is pretty much the point where it stops abruptly.)
wyverncakes 12:23 am
(12:23:13 AM): ... But then suddenly the ground begins to quake. Everyone standing on solid ground? Look forwrad to falling on your ass
Tengusaur 12:23 am
(12:23:45 AM): Werter topples over. "Gah! Are they trying to destroy this place with an earthquake?!"
NightlitEquinox 12:24 am
(12:24:15 AM): Flynn's eyes are wide with terror now. Please let me be right. Please don't let me be right... Gah... please.
wyverncakes 12:24 am
(12:24:25 AM): And at once a bold of lightning crashes into the ground.
(12:24:46 AM): And standing there, looking somewhat hairless but tall and strong...
(12:24:51 AM): Baphomet: http://www.mangareader.net/96-1139-83/berserk/chapter-19.html
NightlitEquinox 12:25 am
(12:25:22 AM): Flynn IMMEDIATELY bows.
wyverncakes 12:26 am
(12:26:10 AM): The creature lets out a gasp, falling to one knee as if it's hard to breathe before looking around.
Tengusaur 12:26 am
(12:26:27 AM): Werter: "Damnit... So he really exists for real..."
(12:26:34 AM): Prometheus gets up on his legs shakily.
NightlitEquinox 12:26 am
(12:26:37 AM): Flynn "Lord Baphomet."
wyverncakes 12:27 am
(12:27:02 AM): Baphomet: "... The tools of my nemesis."
(12:27:47 AM): http://www.mangareader.net/96-1139-82/berserk/chapter-19.html
(12:27:59 AM): (Sorry. Blame stupid Mangareader)
NightlitEquinox 12:28 am
(12:28:11 AM): Flynn stares at Baphomet and sighs. Perhaps he was wrong? But if Baphomet decides to kill him... he will accept this.
NightlitEquinox 12:28 am
(12:28:38 AM): Even if he felt that Conor was wrong... he still beleived in the nature force himself.
Tengusaur 12:28 am
(12:28:40 AM): Werter: "...Everyone, get ready. What we're facing is a god. A god that hates us."
wyverncakes 12:28 am
(12:28:49 AM): However, Baphomet himself just crouches down.
(12:29:25 AM): "... This form is still young; weak. We shall settle this... another time."
(12:29:50 AM): And suddenly, the God springs up, blowing through the ceiling of the building into the night sky... leaving you all behind.
Tengusaur 12:30 am
(12:30:07 AM): Werter: "No, damnit! Come back!"
wyverncakes 12:30 am
(12:30:24 AM): In the aftermath, you have... surprisingly little to show for it
(12:30:37 AM): The Disciples of Baphomet are now leaderless, but that won't bring the pandas back.
Tengusaur 12:30 am
(12:30:41 AM): Werter: "If he's still weak, we should...Ugh!" He tries to jump, but Prometheus is really weakened and just ends up collapsing again.
wyverncakes 12:31 am
(12:31:14 AM): ... And you've successfully captured the Wolkenritter, but if you look around you'll see the Lieze twins have vanished along with the Book of Darkness.
NightlitEquinox 12:31 am
(12:31:18 AM): Flynn falls to the ground and punches the ground, What did that mean? He thinks. He punches the ground again and then lets out a loud shriek of anguish!
Tengusaur 12:31 am
(12:31:58 AM): Werter looks towards Herb and Epimetheus, to see in what state they are.
wyverncakes 12:31 am
(12:31:59 AM): PHYRRIC VICTORY
Alan Bunting 12:32 am
(12:32:21 AM): Chrono's flight becomes wobbly, and he hits the ground; he doesn't stick it and falls face-first onto the dirt. It's a moment before he has enough energy to say anything, then: "Why?"
HyprKnux 1 has left the room. 12:32 am
Doc S 12:32 am
(12:32:55 AM): Don't worry about Nanoha, she's fine. Not really. She basically fainted standing upright.
Paul Robles 12:33 am
(12:33:22 AM): Yoshika goes to pull either Nanoha or Fate into a tight hug, silently crying on one of her friend's shoulders. She'd hug Ren, but she knows her Rider friend isn't into hugs.
(12:33:25 AM): Ever. At all.
Tenebrae Luna 12:33 am
(12:34:00 AM): Fate flies up to Nanoha weakly and picks her up to take her back to the Chalice for some much deserved rest.
Doc S 12:34 am
(12:34:10 AM): You can pull Nanoha into a hug, Yoshika, I doubt her unconscious form won't mind.
Liz Corto 12:34 am
(12:34:29 AM): Hoshi? Well, she is going to attempt to try to stand up, but fail horribly and end up just falling over once the hotblood runs out. Soon, the transformation is out and she looks up at the sky. "...Ow."
Paul Robles 12:34 am
(12:34:49 AM): Yoshika does just that, and hopefully Nanoha won't mind having a tear-stained shoulder either.
frifreeman 12:35 am
(12:35:02 AM): Herb is lying down unconscious now, and Epimetheys is in tiny mode and also unconscious.
Tengusaur 12:35 am
(12:35:15 AM): Prometheus kneels down by them.
(12:35:33 AM): Werter: "The radio should be working now, right? Someone call for medical help! He's still alive! ...I hope!"
(12:35:59 AM): Werter wants to talk to Flynn about his parents, but this, this takes priority.
Alan Bunting 12:36 am
(12:36:06 AM): After a long moment, Chrono attempts to pick himself up... but his limbs give out, as do Durandal and his Barrier Jacket. He's just laying there, conscious but out of energy.
NightlitEquinox 12:36 am
(12:36:21 AM): Flynn is crying very not silently and punching the ground.
griefgathering has left the room. 12:36 am
Tengusaur 12:36 am
(12:36:59 AM): Werter: "Flynn..."
(12:37:14 AM): He knows he should leave him alone for now. Probably.
NightlitEquinox 12:37 am
(12:37:57 AM): Flynn stays where he is until everyone leaves, unless someone takes him, and then he slowly walks himself back to the ship, a lost expression on his face.
