Mission 126: "Walking My Own Path" (part 2)

[srwuga_mods]

Doc S 10:26 pm
(10:26:17 PM): *And in an instant, Eri is standing between them, holding up her hands with a large shield to defend the pair!+
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:22 PM): [Mad and Sora] Your last-ditch move to save yourself is still taking too long, Mad! There's no way you'll be transformed in time for Graf coming in fast like he is... but suddenly there's Itsuki! For all of a few seconds the Desu is blocking the way... only for Graf to BLOW through the machine and take a chunk of it completely out! But it's all the time you needed to change!
(10:26:28 PM): (You can continue now, Mad)
Canta Akino has left the room. 10:26 pm
HyprKnux 1 10:26 pm
(10:26:37 PM): *Hana's hands quickly jut out to create a barrier of her own... even as Eri jumps in front of her+ "Eri!"
Doc S 10:27 pm
(10:27:14 PM): Eri: Hey Hana... remember when we first met? You were lost and I was looking for you. How times have changed, and yet I'm still defending you...
HyprKnux 1 10:28 pm
(10:28:33 PM): Hana: "...we're partners, Eri. More than that. No matter what, we have each other's back, right?"
Doc S 10:29 pm
(10:29:10 PM): Eri: Yeah. S'all I gotta say about that. But we're not alone. No matter how we give, we'll bend like willows. There's nothing we can't do anyhow.
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:12 PM): [Eri and Hana] The barriers meet the power of the Endless... and what a power it is! Both of the machines are blown backwards, tearing up the ground in the process... even some of their armor getting wrecked as the barrier shrinks and shrinks... but it still holds! You're still alive! And Hana? is just sounding VERY angry over the comm and resorting to Hanangrish.
(10:29:18 PM): (Eri and Sora)
Canta Akino has entered the room. 10:29 pm
VJockey 10:29 pm
(10:29:26 PM): Mad: -Complete- "Sora?.... Thanks.." *Mad's leaping from the cockpit at Graf with her Axel Blaster drawn. She couldn't do anything from the Zaku right now, but if she could jam the blade into the bastard's skull then her day would be all the better for it!+
Alan Bunting 10:30 pm
(10:30:15 PM): (Is Desu Itsuki badly damaged or just has a few pieces missing?)
Doc S 10:30 pm
(10:30:40 PM): Eri stood up, holding her arm. "We're partners. But more than that. There's so many people who support us, even when we're not being ourselves. People we've hurt, people we've gotten mad at, all of this. It doesn't make a difference unless we try...
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:44 PM): (Badly damaged. Imagine if a wrecking ball blew through its midsection)
Doc S 10:31 pm
(10:31:01 PM): Eri: Fortunately you know me, always prepared. And now, I think it's time to use it.
(10:31:26 PM): And Eri leaned over and tabbed something, something soothing and regenerating as she proclaimed, "Shine! Super Silhouette!"
(10:31:27 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywoJIXxZbcA&feature=related
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:45 PM): [Mad] And Graf is right outside, looking unimpressed at the sight of your armored form! "That suit again..." he snorted, before moving to block the slash! "And with a weapon as well. But do you honestly think... that some scrap you threw together in your spare time will let you match MY power?"
HyprKnux 1 10:31 pm
(10:31:55 PM): Hana: "Right...! SHINE! SUPER SILHOUETTE!"
(10:32:10 PM): CHYPrE: "...you think it'll work-desu?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:32 pm
(10:32:10 PM): @Mad
Doc S 10:32 pm
(10:32:22 PM): Desu Erika burst into brilliant light as she floated upwards, glowing in her super mode. She drew her blade, and placed both together into a staff. "Lets take out our shadows first. Then we deal with something else. Sora, you too! You have a Shine mode now!"
Tenebrae Luna 10:32 pm
(10:32:27 PM): Seiren's eyes narrow and she summons her Shadow TACT to Nocturne's hands.
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:29 PM): (Approved)
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:59 PM): Unfortunately, Eri... Sora's not in any condition to do anything like that
Doc S 10:33 pm
(10:33:03 PM): *And turning towards Noir, she blazed forward, swinging her staff around in a rapid fire striking position, leaping upwards in a spin kick towards the head!+
Tenebrae Luna 10:33 pm
(10:33:08 PM): #
cubey@aol.pl 10:33 pm
(10:33:20 PM): *Devon: "Everyone talks too much recently, if you ask me." She sounds pretty amused, actually. "But you left your guard down!" As she says that, powerful beam blasts are being fired straight at Graf's back - from two different points in fact, both Nu Wa proper and the two turrets left behind. And soon after the beam cannon shots, another volley of missiles!*
(10:33:22 PM): +
Alan Bunting 10:35 pm
(10:35:19 PM): Sora's blown aside, Desu Itsuki tumbling into a roll and landing a short distance away, the unit's midsection caved in. "Dammit, now is not the time for this!" She hears Eri, but she can't really convince the unit to respond just now. "Come on... okay, forget it! Grrraaaah!" *And she kicks open the hatch and leaps out of Desu Itsuki, jetting straight for Graf! "You're not gonna get to us! Not if I have anything to say about it!"
wyverncakes 10:35 pm
(10:35:20 PM): [Devon] Your attack spam assault hurtles towards Graf's form... but before it can reach the man suddenly the Black Ox moves to intervene! The gigantic creature tanks the hits, only roaring in annoyance before charging at the Nu Wa and lashing out with an arm that stretches like a massive tentacle... and at the same time several Unions charge to flank and take out those turrets as beams suddenly shot out of their eyes!
(10:35:22 PM): (React: Devon)
(10:35:29 PM): (Approved. Go ahead, Seiren)
(10:35:31 PM): BUT MAD!
Alan Bunting 10:35 pm
(10:35:40 PM): +
Tenebrae Luna 10:35 pm
(10:35:46 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewR1-hoT3Ls Energy builds around the Shadow TACT as a black flower with blood red leafs appears at the tip of the TACT. "Shadow Forte Wave." The flower fires and speeds towards Eri, spinning like a drill, and glowing, ready to explode!+
wyverncakes 10:35 pm
(10:35:54 PM): As the Black Ox takes these hits... you can see faint red splotches slowly begin to form on Graf's gentlemanly tunic!
(10:36:15 PM): ... As if... the blows to his shadow have transferred to him!
(10:37:01 PM): [Sora] And as you charge at Graf, the man is already springing into the air up and over your attack, swinging his blade down to slit your neck in one go!
(10:37:03 PM): (React: Mad)
VJockey 10:37 pm
(10:37:47 PM): Mad: "To be honest?... Probably not. But I'm not exactly alone here...!" [Aaand struggling to keep that blade away- ..well hello.]
cubey@aol.pl 10:37 pm
(10:37:49 PM): *The Heavenly Wall turrets will have to fend for themselves, their sturdy anti-beam coated form hopefully able to take it.. as for Nu Wa, it grabs the stretched-out arm and tries to hold it before it punches anything, chainsaw knuckles roaring along to saw as much as possible off the Black Ox's limb.+
Mister Giggles 10:37 pm
(10:37:51 PM): #Mad... also kind of @Black Ox
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:01 PM): (GAH!)
(10:38:02 PM): (NO!
(10:38:06 PM): (It's React for Sora)
Mister Giggles 10:38 pm
(10:38:09 PM): (trollface.jpg)
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:15 PM): (WHY AM I MAKING EVERYTHIN REACT: MAD?)
VJockey 10:38 pm
(10:38:16 PM): #Sora
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:23 PM): (Approved)
VJockey 10:38 pm
(10:38:25 PM): (because that?)
Canta Akino has left the room. 10:38 pm
wyverncakes 10:39 pm
(10:39:06 PM): [Eri] You do move to press the attack on Noir... but Seiren's not having any of that! And Eri? herself does sound positively happy at this! "And my sister's here to back me up too, so I can focus all on the crap Hana too!" You've got a black flower to worry about and a possessed sister who's not letting you out of her sights!
(10:39:08 PM): (React: Eri)
Canta Akino has entered the room. 10:39 pm
VJockey 10:39 pm
(10:39:56 PM): Mad: *Mad switches the Axel Blaster to gun mode - and fires at Graf. Less recoil than her DEagle so it was a lot easier to keep on target. Of course at her angle, the centre of Mass would be the general's posterior. Have fun with that Graf+
HyprKnux 1 10:40 pm
(10:40:13 PM): #Eri?
Tenebrae Luna 10:40 pm
(10:40:54 PM): Seiren looks unemotionally at Eri. "Come now Kurumu. I thought you said you were going to deal with me. Or are you afraid? Knowing that fighting me equals hurting her."
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:40 PM): [Devon] The Nu Wa does manage to stop the punch, but catching that arm does knock it back a bit and damage the machine's arms slightly. And at least now you can begin to try to hack off the limb... though Black Ox quickly shifts its arm's shape and withdraws before you can do more than scrape it. And in the meantime the Heavenly Wall turrets do manage to thin out the crowd of Unions, destroying one of them entirely... but the mooks still have numbers and eventually one of them does smash through one of the turrets before the other blows it away!
Doc S 10:41 pm
(10:41:51 PM): *Well damn. It was either this or split the party. And Eri hated splitting the party. It usually ended with acid pits or something. And she reacted, throwing her saber into the flower as she changed direction. "Hana deal with these two, I got sis. As usual."+
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:55 PM): (Gonna nix that, Hana. Eri's got her own fight and you've got yours)
HyprKnux 1 10:42 pm
(10:42:25 PM): Hana: "...be careful..."
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:30 PM): (Casshern and Devon)
(10:43:20 PM): [Eri] Your saber cleaves through the flower, detonating it prematurely... but as Erika moves to deal with Nocturne you're left once again on your own against two superior machines!
Doc S 10:43 pm
(10:43:21 PM): Eri: I will.
(10:44:00 PM): Eri floats up towards the Nocturne, cracking her knuckles. "Shall we? I seem to recall me winning fights even as kids."
Mister Giggles 10:44 pm
(10:44:18 PM): *If, in the off chance, anyone on the White Chalice installed something in Casshern while operating on him to monitor his Berserk Mode, he's now even more berserk than usual because of that sensor-scrambling thing. Cue Dan. And possibly cue changing line-up. Because right now, Casshern's IFF is registering everything as hostile, so he's charging into the middle of the fray. Whoever is holding his aggro is next to impossible to identify. &
Tenebrae Luna 10:45 pm
(10:45:02 PM): Seiren scoffs at Eri. "Please. That is just because she let you win."
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:17 PM): [Casshern] And with everyone already kinda distracted, battle-wise, nobody's paying attention to you at all. Which is kinda-sorta a REALLY BAD THING right now!
Alan Bunting 10:45 pm
(10:45:31 PM): *Sora, at the last second, reaches up and a small shield appears just in front of her hand. Which she grabs and uses to vault up, dropping to make an axe kick right at Graf's head.+
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:45 PM): (For the record, Casshern is now yellow)
Doc S 10:45 pm
(10:45:57 PM): Eri: Oh really? Okay then, lets see what happens in the rematch of five years later.
Mister Giggles 10:46 pm
(10:46:07 PM): (enemy line-up? for RNG, blame Steam for this)
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:47 PM): (Enemies: Graf, Noir, Blanc, Nocturne, Black Ox, Union x 9, Union Top x 1)
cubey@aol.pl 10:47 pm
(10:47:00 PM): *Nu Wa drops another one of its turrets, the last piece of the Heavenly Wall remaining on its arm like a shield - while the two others are now focused on defense, targetting Unions one by one and shooting at them with everything they have. As for the unit proper...
Tenebrae Luna 10:47 pm
(10:47:32 PM): Seiren: More than that. Well, to me. To you, I suppose it must feel like that.
cubey@aol.pl 10:47 pm
(10:47:59 PM): *"Wrong way!" Devon may not know Casshern is berserk right now, but she sees him acting erratically. Nu Wa quickly scoops the robot and, in one fluid but strong move, throws him across the battlefield - to bump against Seiren's unit's head.+
(10:48:09 PM): "Take care of her. She's annoying."
wyverncakes 10:48 pm
(10:48:20 PM): [Mad and Sora] It's an impressive bit of tag-teaming, and Jeremy would be proud of you Sora as you manage to evade the slash and then deliver the kick to Graf just as Mad shoots him! But all it does is make the man stumble somewhat and grit his teeth... and without warning he swings up and kicks you in the back just below your neck HARD, knocking you to the ground! "And now even one of the PreDesus is trying to fight me on foot. So much the better."
Mister Giggles 10:48 pm
(10:48:24 PM): (Waiting for Steam to tell me how that went, I approve.)
wyverncakes 10:49 pm
(10:49:28 PM): (Oh, wait. Derp)
wyverncakes 10:50 pm
(10:50:43 PM): [Devon] It's a bit dangerous to pick up Casshern and hurl him like that... especially when there's several Unions who are changing tactics and charging at you... one of them actually jumping into the air and breaking apart INTENTIONALLY to attack both your left and right with beams all on its own... but you still pull it off and hurl him at Seiren!
(10:50:57 PM): (React: Devon)
(10:51:08 PM): [Casshern] Whelp. Now you're speeding like a bullet straight at the split-personality traitor girl. What do?
(10:51:14 PM): (React/continue: Casshern)
(10:51:20 PM): (Yui, Seiren)
Alan Bunting 10:52 pm
(10:52:03 PM): Sora cries out as the hit connects, and once more as she hits the ground. "Damn... we can't even..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:52 pm
(10:52:17 PM): *"Know your place!" Devon smacks the Unions on her left side with the Heavenly Wall shield, turning Nu Wa's body so those on the right get some chaingun fire in return for their trouble!+
VJockey 10:54 pm
(10:54:25 PM): Mad: "Sora. If you give up now I swear to god I will kill you when we die."
Mister Giggles 10:54 pm
(10:54:35 PM): *Casshern was actually about to thrust forward and use a sonic boom to attack Graf and Mad, but as he feels a large hand close around him, he abruptly turns and glares straight into Devon's optics, about to rip her whole fucking arm off below the wrist for grabbing him like that. His eyes then widen as he's suddenly thrown. Due to his aggro basically being based on proximity with his sensors srambled, he pivots in mid-air, rearing back his fist while bursting forward to add to the momentum just as he possibly collides with Seiren. &
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:35 PM): [Devon] The Unions do get smacked aside, and the chaingun fire chews through the the bottom half of another Union as well! But one lucky bastard manages to latch onto the Nu Wa's left arm before grabbing hold of the ground... and the Black Ox makes a return, now making a shoulder charge to bowl the mech over!
(10:54:39 PM): (React again: Devon)
(10:55:02 PM): Graf: "... A difficult, if not impossible feat, Nadeshiko."
Tenebrae Luna 10:55 pm
(10:55:17 PM): Seiren sees Casshern hurtling towards her. She smirks a little as she looks at Eri. "Sister vs. sister then? Well, let me get rid of an uncoming pest first." Seiren waits for Casshern to get close and Nocturne's eye opens. A blast of energy explodes through the air from Nocturne once its' eye is reveal. To those far away, it does nothing. At most it could be intimidation. To those close, a.k.a. Eri and Casshern though...it is far, FAR more damaging.+
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:27 PM): He'd be more amused by this if not for the fact he was still kinda-sorta bleeding, which anyone sharp-eyed might see
Alan Bunting 10:56 pm
(10:56:01 PM): Sora barks out a laugh. "No... I'm too stubborn for that. Besides, I've gotta finish this fast so I can help the others." She drags herself to her feet if she can get a chance.
VJockey 10:56 pm
(10:56:08 PM): Mad: [Cracks her neck before giving Graf the evil eye.] "You keep using that name. I don't think you get exactly what the hell it means to me."
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:36 PM): [Seiren, Casshern, and Eri] Casshern does hurtle forward with tremendous velocity! But Nocturne has a counter at its disposal... a tremendous release of energy too which Casshern... and Eri herself need to worry about!
(10:56:44 PM): (React: Casshern and Eri)
cubey@aol.pl 10:57 pm
(10:57:02 PM): *The last turret comes off, dropping to the ground and hopefully crushing the Union half that grabbed it. Now free of excess weight, Nu Wa is surprisingly nimble as it ducks low and tries to strafe aside, at the last possible moment so Black Ox cannot adjust its movement!+
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:06 PM): Graf: "What's more your name? The one given to you by your blood parents, or that of a con man who used you for publicity?"
(10:57:26 PM): (Mad, Hana)
frifreeman has left the room. 10:57 pm
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:57 pm
(10:57:32 PM): *This is not as well as things should be going…and Mad's in serious danger. That, naturally, cannot be allowed. But the way that man bled…it bears testing. So Yui quickly slams out a series of commands, and then announces: "…Graf, was it? Allow me to educate you in the art of war. Darkness calls to darkness, uniting to form everlasting night…Fall, Shemhazai." One of her little attack drone squads explodes, and a massive, glowing red sign appears on the ground below Yui. Darkness seeps out of the ground, coalescing and forming a robot around her. It stands still briefly, cracking its knuckles-and then it rushes at the Black Ox, its right fist glowing with dark energy! &

Doc S 10:58 pm
(10:58:28 PM): *"Whoa!" Bringing her arms up in a guard, Eri twists in mid air and fires her thrusters to stabilize her. "If that's the way you want it then all the more reason to kick your butt!" Reversing her motion, Eri blazes forward at Seiren in a flurry of atheletic violence.+
cubey@aol.pl 10:58 pm
(10:58:34 PM): Devon: "What kind of an idiot are you?" Despite fierce combat, she has time to snort in derision at Graf.
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:41 PM): [Devon] The Union in question? Yeah, crushed flat. And with the Black Ox being so big, slipping underneath it is easy enough! Though the speed it charges at leaves practicaly a sonic boom which knocks the Nu Wa off its feet. It's no more worse for wear though!
Alan Bunting 10:59 pm
(10:59:17 PM): Sora: "The one she uses, maybe?" She mirrors Devon's snort.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:59 pm

cubey@aol.pl 10:59 pm
(10:59:29 PM): "Oof!" Nu Wa has to reorient itself as a priority now, though.
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:46 PM): [Yui] And the Black Ox is already regrouping after its failed attempt to run over the Nu Wa. And as that figure punches at it, the Black Ox returns the favor!
(10:59:49 PM): (Continue: Yui)
VJockey 11:00 pm
(11:00:19 PM): Mad: "That con-man is my father. He's been my father for as long as I can fucking remember. He's the reason I got as far as I have. Not a family I can barely even remember and a sister who may as well be an absolute pain in my ass." *Graf? Mad's charging now, firing several shots before ducking down as she switched the Axel Blaster to blade mode and try to get under your defence!+
Mister Giggles 11:00 pm
(11:00:25 PM): *Casshern's speed is just insane when he's like this. It's entirely possible he can take a hit from this shockwave, but he's going to try to flashstep downwards and attempt to pass underneath the shockwave (assuming it's an arc like most shockwaves are), and head straight for her mid-section. His favorite place to attack, given his size in comparison to hers.
HyprKnux 1 11:01 pm
(11:01:00 PM): Hana winces at Mad's insult, tugging at her heart.
VJockey 11:01 pm
(11:01:35 PM): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NQTQmt8Rk0)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:02 pm
(11:02:19 PM): *Shemhazai ducks slightly to the side, narrowing its profile to make the punch go wide, and continues with its strike!+
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:21 PM): [Eri and Casshern] The blast of energy tears up both Erika and Casshern's body! Fortunately the former is somewhat decently armored and the other can repair itself! And Nocturne subsequently has a hole somewhat bigger than Casshern's body blown through it before a blow from Erika floors it! ... Riiight before suddenly Erika's punching arm completely shatters. Guess that explosion had a bit of a kick to it!
HyprKnux 1 11:02 pm
(11:02:41 PM): *First things first, though... "I don't want to leave anyone behind in this mess, but... I'll find some way to stop you both!" Taking aim at the Endless again, she goes for another Tsubomi Spiral Impact, this time aiming at the ground, intending on disorienting the two &
Doc S 11:03 pm
(11:03:56 PM): "GAH! Jeez, upgrade will you?" Shaking her arm to shake out the numbness from the feedback, Eri smirked. "Down the rabbits hole today huh?"
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:57 PM): [Mad] And Graf just snorts. If she wants under him, dakka-ing things up like she is? Fine. Graf just takes to the skies, his cape fluttering suddenly as a hailstorm of roses shoot out, stem first to cut her down!
Tenebrae Luna 11:04 pm
(11:04:00 PM): Seiren glares. "Annoying little pest."
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:01 PM): (React: Mad)
Alan Bunting 11:04 pm
(11:04:21 PM): # Mad?
Mister Giggles 11:04 pm
(11:04:22 PM): Casshern is sent skidding along the ground. He's got quite a few really nasty wounds all over his body, some of which are seeping... blood? Since when do robots have blood?
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:27 PM): (Approved)
Mister Giggles 11:05 pm
(11:05:32 PM): However, Casshern then slowly starts pulling himself to his feet, his eyes wide, glowing bright blue, and give off a feeling of pure psychosis. Somewhere inside Casshern's mind, however, he's hearing a female voice.
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:43 PM): [Yui] And Shemhazai dodges the attack well! Its fist pounds into the Black Ox, and up in the sky, Graf suppresses the urge to cough up a half-pint of blood... though a trickle still forces its way out! But don't be celebrating yet though, because the Black Ox's arm elongates, turning around, before suddenly punching Shemhazai in its back and smashing it against the Ox's larger form!
VJockey 11:06 pm
(11:06:05 PM): Mad: "Roses? Seriously?" *Mad's letting out an aggravated noise as she dashes to whatever cover she could find. She can't fly... so what the heck is she supposed to do?+
Alan Bunting 11:06 pm
(11:06:26 PM): *"Idiot. You're fighting both of us! ITSUKI AEGIS!" And with that roar, a sunflower blazes into being for just a moment - just long enough to catch all the roses and send them back in an upward direction before dispelling to clear Mad's path! "Leave us alone already!" Sora, for her part, will jump up to try and get above Graf to box him in and attack!+
Mister Giggles 11:06 pm
(11:06:31 PM): His wounds slowly begin to close, but it's going to be a while before they're fully healed.
wyverncakes 11:08 pm
(11:08:22 PM): [Hana] "Oh jeez..." Eri? snorts as Hana starts to try to attack again. "She's doing the same thing over again. Dumbass! not like you, Hana! Let's kick her ass!" And the two Endless join hands and unleash... jack shit as the explosion to the ground suddenly throws them off-balance! "W-waaah! Eri! Don't leave me!" Hana? cries out as Blanc begins to desperately reach for Noir's hand!
(11:08:26 PM): (Continue: Hana)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:08 pm
(11:08:55 PM): (No react?)
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:21 PM): (No. Shemhazai's hurt, but not beat.)
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:58 PM): [Mad and Sora] A few roses manage to slash down, stabbing into the ground around you as you move for cover, Mad... and in fact that cover is torn to shreds in seconds by the plants as a few stab into your arm and one gets you in the lower calf... but your attempts at evasion at least keep you alive until Sora can come to the rescue and repel the shots with her barrier system, forcing Graf to cut them down himself!
HyprKnux 1 11:11 pm
(11:11:20 PM): *As the Endless are thrown off, Hana takes notice of what's going on between the two - the copy of her IS too dependant on the copy of Eri. Noir has to go first. "If you were me, you would know that I can stand up on my own two feet!" As she says this, she leaps at the Noir, both feet extended as she slams into it+
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:54 PM): (Eri, Sora)
VJockey 11:12 pm
(11:12:48 PM): Mad: [Was feeling the pain because DAMN were those things sharp. Her armor probably kept them from doing worse but DAMN.] "Yui?.... What's your opinion on roses? I think I hate the hell out of them now."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:13 pm
(11:13:04 PM): "They're nice. I like them."
(11:13:29 PM): "…Also, it seems that this unit I'm facing now is that man's weakness."
Doc S 11:13 pm
(11:13:53 PM): Eri chuckled as she wrung her hand back into action. "You know, I worry sometimes about everything. Everything that follows, everything that falls apart. But this time, I'm gonna make sure that my sister comes back to me."
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:15 PM): [Hana] Noir's hand reaches out, taking hold and grabbing Blanc's and charging up the energy again... but it's too late. Far too late as Tsubomi's feet crash through the midsection of Noir and blow a hole through it. Eri? can only cry out for a second, not even managing to say Hana's name before she's suddenly silenced. And then suddenly Hana? is silent too.
VJockey 11:14 pm
(11:14:29 PM): Mad: "Hit it hard for me then.."
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:33 PM): ... At least for a moment though. "Eri... Eri, what happened to... HEY! ERI!"
(11:14:35 PM): "NO!"
Alan Bunting 11:14 pm
(11:14:37 PM): *And since Sora happens to already be in the air, she crosses her arms in front of her. "Aegis!" And another shield comes up in front of her, which she maintains as she falls at Graf, intending to use it to push him to the ground. To speed up the process: "Impact!" And she pushes it out in front of her at high speed!+
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:39 PM): "NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!"
(11:14:51 PM): Blanc crackled with energy, both white and black as it turned to Tsubomi!
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:12 PM): "YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME! FIRST YOU LEFT ME AND THEN YOU TAKE ERI AWAY FROM ME!"
HyprKnux 1 11:16 pm
(11:16:05 PM): Hana: "I left you...?"
wyverncakes 11:16 pm
(11:16:27 PM): [Sora] You fly up into the air, but Gaf's not just going to let you get away with this as he summons and unleashes more roses to assault you while you're hurtling at him... and he's desperatley trying to fall back, to avoid getting hit!
Tenebrae Luna 11:16 pm
(11:16:31 PM): A small tear wells up in the eyes at Eri's words. It is a sharp counter to the unemotional look on Seiren's face. She brings a hand up to it. "Interesting. Seems she can still hear you. Which must mean she is aware of what is going on. I wonder, do you think her mind can handle that she is responsible for letting you die twice over?"
Mister Giggles 11:16 pm
(11:16:43 PM): @ Sora
wyverncakes 11:16 pm
(11:16:45 PM): The voice is different now. Twisted... not entirely Hana's own any more.
(11:16:48 PM): (Approved)
(11:17:09 PM): ???: "SO WHAT IF I KILL... I... MAKE MY PILOTS STONG! AND THEY LEAVE! THEY ALWAYS... ALWAYS LEAVE!"
Doc S 11:17 pm
(11:17:12 PM): *Eri: Die twice over? I've died once. Not going to happen again. Eri decided now was the time, and she charged at Seiren! Her hand crackled with enormous power as she swung her remaining arm at the other girl, intent on blowing a hole right through the cockpit -- and hopefully grab her in the process!+
Alan Bunting 11:17 pm
(11:17:42 PM): That would be more of a problem if Sora weren't using a shield to make the charge. She just pours a little more power in, hoping for the best.
wyverncakes 11:17 pm
(11:17:55 PM): "YOUR SISTER DID AND THEN HER REPLACEMENT.. AND YOU... EVERYONE HATES MY POWER! THEY'RE AFRAID OF ME! BECAUSE I TRY TO MAKE THEM STRONG AND SHOW THEM THEY'RE IMPORTANT!"
(11:18:06 PM): Blanc: "... I'LL KILL YOU, NANOHANA HIMESAKI!"
(11:18:32 PM): (Devon. Casshern can take his turn after his support attack)
Mister Giggles 11:18 pm
(11:18:38 PM): *As Casshern's wounds continue to heal, he's boosting forward again, just as Gaf comes dangerously close to his aggro circle. With Gaf coming towards him with his back faced towards him, Casshern abruptly turns, his eyes trained on Gaf. And here comes his hand, about to ram his hand right through him+
HyprKnux 1 11:19 pm
(11:19:07 PM): Hana: "...Desu Blanc..." She sighs, letting her eyes close. "I'm sorry. Maybe if I had known... Maybe if we had known..."
Alan Bunting 11:20 pm
(11:20:12 PM): Sora hears this and sighs. "What do you know, they're alive after all. And possessive, too."
wyverncakes 11:20 pm
(11:20:31 PM): [Eri] Your fist charges up, crackling with energy as it surges at Nocturne! It's an opening, alright... hopefully it pulls through!
(11:20:35 PM): (React: Seiren)
cubey@aol.pl 11:20 pm
(11:20:52 PM): Devon: "Is there a limit to your self centered-arrogance?"
Tenebrae Luna 11:20 pm
(11:20:53 PM): Nocturne seems to vanish from sight. Eri looks around but sees nothing. Then, she hears a small voice on her intercom. "Below you!" Looking down, Eri has just enough time to see Seiren getting ready to swing her TACT. The dark energy around Nocturne's body now extending to it, the energy seemingly eating away at the air around it.+
cubey@aol.pl 11:21 pm
(11:21:07 PM): # Eri
wyverncakes 11:21 pm
(11:21:25 PM): (Approved)
(11:21:33 PM): (And react to that, Eri)
cubey@aol.pl 11:22 pm
(11:22:24 PM): *Just as Nocturne reappears, it gets barraged by long-ranged beam cannons. Now from three different places and angles. Damage is not as important as keeping the unit away from Eri, interrupting its attack.+
wyverncakes 11:22 pm
(11:22:48 PM): [Casshern and Sora] Those roses crash into the barrier, trying to force through them this time... and unfortunately for you quite a few do! Your body begins to gets scraped and cut up by them... but then suddenly Graf suddenly screams out in pain. A hand stabbing through his entire body will do that to him... and you finally crash into him as the three of you fall, hurtling down into the ground!
(11:23:17 PM): Blanc: "LIAR!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:23 pm
(11:23:39 PM): (Is the Black Ox still around?)
wyverncakes 11:23 pm
(11:23:42 PM): (Yes)
VJockey 11:23 pm
(11:23:43 PM): Mad: !!! [Was now rushing towards the three, She's seen what Casshern can do... this might get ugly. REALLY ugly.]
kamikasei has left the room. 11:23 pm
Doc S 11:24 pm
(11:24:02 PM): *And Eri reacts! Spinning into a twisting motion to avoid the attack, she slammed her fist forward, angling the giant hand just so so that it slams into the chestplate of the Nocturne.+
Mister Giggles 11:24 pm
(11:24:47 PM): Casshern falling to the ground is kind of a regular occurrence, but... unless someone stops him, imagine this with his intestines, spleen, liver, lungs and whatever else he has in his torso.
(11:24:54 PM): There's already blood spewing everywhere.
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:07 PM): (Well yes)
cubey@aol.pl 11:25 pm
(11:25:38 PM): *Nu Wa swings its arm in an uppercut, its chainsaw appendage ready to rip into Black Ox. While standing up, it does not let go of the offense, firing whatever is left of its chaingun ammo at the large... thing. And then, delivering another offhand haymaker - this time not letting the fist go, but continuing to cut through Black Ox.+
Mister Giggles 11:25 pm
(11:25:48 PM): (reiterating: unless someone stops him)
HyprKnux 1 11:25 pm
(11:25:49 PM): Hana: "...Desu Blanc. I'm sorry for what you and the Noir had went through. I'm sorry for what happened. But, y'know what? In the end? You succeeded with one person. You've made me stronger. Not the way you wanted it, but you've made me understand a whole lot. About myself. About being a PreDesu and so much more."
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:59 PM): Still, Graf, now bleedy quite profusely is beginning to fall away... in disbelief that Noir was felled...
(11:26:43 PM): [Devon, Eri, and Seiren] Momo's last-second bit of advance does give Eri the warning she needs... and Devon's attack spam pelts Nocturne and forces it on the defensive... and with one furious punch Erika's fist smashes through Nocturne's body and knocks its cockpit out of the machine! Nocturne falls to the ground... defeated!
wyverncakes 11:26 pm
(11:26:53 PM): Graf: "... And Nocturne too...!!!"
(11:27:05 PM): (Yui)
Alan Bunting 11:27 pm
(11:27:33 PM): Sora groans as she hit the ground, rose stems sticking out of her at odd angles. "Mmn... this is really starting to hurt..." Then she notices the berserk companion next to her. "Hey, take it easy!" She reaches out an arm to try and stop Casshern. "You're going to hurt yourself!"
Tenebrae Luna 11:27 pm
(11:27:40 PM): Seiren growls. "How? She shouldn't have been able to...!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:27 pm
(11:27:53 PM): Devon: "I owed you one for the wedding organisation, ages ago. Now we're even." So satisfied at Seiren going down.
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:56 PM): Yeah, Graf is falling back in disbelief. Honestly, he's totally cool with letting Blanc get destroyd at this point.
cubey@aol.pl 11:28 pm
(11:28:29 PM): (The last thing was aimed at Eri, not Seiren, just making it clear)
wyverncakes 11:28 pm
(11:28:33 PM): Blanc: "Liar... bitch!" The machine growled as it stomped towards Tsubomi. "DON'T JUST USE ME AS A STEPPING STONE! I'M BETTER! BETTER THAN YOU... BETTER THAN ANYONE!"
VJockey 11:28 pm
(11:28:54 PM): Mad: "Shush. Bloody smears shouldn't talk." [Mad raises her blaster at Graf. She wasn't gonna let him get away.]
Doc S 11:29 pm
(11:29:30 PM): Eri smirked a little. "Payment in full."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:29 pm
(11:29:45 PM): "Aaaah…Music to my ears. Let's see how you feel about this, no? Shemhazai, Obliterate." The black robot places the palms of its hands together on the Black Ox's chest…&
HyprKnux 1 11:29 pm
(11:29:50 PM): Hana: "...if you were better than me, then why do you wish to harm me?"
Mister Giggles 11:30 pm
(11:30:19 PM): Casshern's arm stops mid-motion, just as he himself was going to try to land the fatal blow. He's thinking Mad's pointing that gun at him.
wyverncakes 11:32 pm
(11:32:05 PM): [Devon and Yui] Shemhazai's hands press into the Black Ox's chest, but the monstrosity responds simply by swinging its arms up and smashing them down onto the robot! But its attack doesn't follow through... Devon's attack spam and stab suddenly causing it to reel back and cry out in pain... just as Graf suddenly cries out in unison... blood spraying from his mouth as he falls to his knees!
(11:32:14 PM): (Continue/End this: Yui)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:32 pm
(11:32:31 PM): "Scream."
griefgathering has left the room. 11:33 pm
wyverncakes 11:33 pm
(11:33:39 PM): Meanwhile though, Blanc is still stomping forward, crackling with energy before it suddenly locks onto Mad!
(11:33:47 PM): Blanc: "Wait... it's you...!"
(11:34:01 PM): "Graf had wanted you... you to pilot me! And this wouldn't have happened if you'd agreed!"
Alan Bunting 11:34 pm
(11:34:17 PM): Sora slowly notices every remaining hostile turning toward Mad.
wyverncakes 11:34 pm
(11:34:21 PM): "It's your fault! IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU DIDN'T DIE WHEN I WANTED YOU TO AND YOU DIDN'T PILOT ME WHEN I WANTED YOU TO!"
HyprKnux 1 11:34 pm
(11:34:33 PM): Hana: "Blanc...!"
Mister Giggles 11:34 pm
(11:34:55 PM): Casshern's not moving to attack Mad, but he's staring at her, blood and bits of organ tissue and bone caked to his right arm.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:35 pm
(11:35:00 PM): *A magic circle, much like the one from before appears on Black Ox's chest. And from that circle comes forth a torrent of magical energy, blasting the other unit backwards as it pours forth. It's head is not just one of blunt energy: the front of the blast has the head of the dragon, which is biting into the Black Ox's chest as it surges forward. After a good long blast, the dragon coils upon itself and casts the Black Ox into the sky, then fades away into the night…+
VJockey 11:35 pm
(11:35:04 PM): Mad:.... ..! [Mad's turning around to look at Blanc at those words.] .... "Heh... what a brat.... I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS AFRAID OF YOU!"
wyverncakes 11:35 pm
(11:35:09 PM): And with that, the machine suddenly starts charging straight at the girl, hand charging with energy before it swings its fist down to flatten Mad like a pancake!
(11:35:12 PM): (React: Mad)
HyprKnux 1 11:35 pm
(11:35:18 PM): # Mad
Alan Bunting 11:35 pm
(11:35:21 PM): # Mad
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:35 pm
(11:35:35 PM): "..! Mad!"
wyverncakes 11:35 pm
(11:35:41 PM): (Approving Hana. Sisters gotta finish these sorts of things together)
Alan Bunting 11:35 pm
(11:35:49 PM): (Aye.)
HyprKnux 1 11:37 pm
(11:37:04 PM): Hana: "Not... my... SISTER!" *Hana charges in to intercept, her right hand glowing. "TSUBOMI IMPACT!" And thrusts out to punch at the Blanc, energy shooting forth from her hand+
wyverncakes 11:38 pm
(11:38:25 PM): [Yui] And while all of this with Blanc is going on? Well, the Black Ox is getting a big, massive dragon blast through its body. And at the same time, Graf is screaming out just as Yui wanted... just before he falls down to the ground, dead as a doornail before the Black Ox itself is done away with as well.
VJockey 11:38 pm
(11:38:54 PM): Mad: *Scowls before rapping her finger at the keypad -E..ee.eEXcEEd ChArGe- She's actually CHARGING at the fist, both hands on the Axel Blaster as she lashes with an upward slash at it+
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:23 PM): [Mad and Hana] What Mad and Hana lack in individual firepower compared to Blanc... they more than make up for in unlikely and unintentional teamwork. That slash swings up, crashing into the fist and meeting resistance... but tearing into the frame of the Blanc all the same! And then there's the Tsubomi Impact slamming into it from behind.
(11:41:43 PM): Metal breaks and shatters, black 'tears" actually beginning to well up in Blanc's eyes as it is overpowered.
Alan Bunting 11:41 pm
(11:41:51 PM): While Mad deals with the actual important problem, Sora continues to attempt diplomacy with the raging ally. "Hey, come on, easy!"
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:54 PM): Blanc: "No no... NO NO NOOOOO!"
(11:42:24 PM): Ultimately Mad's attack completely cuts Blanc in half, Hana's smashing apart the entirety of its lower torso
Mister Giggles 11:42 pm
(11:42:40 PM): Casshern's watching with interest. When he speaks, his voice is strangely flat, lacking any sort of emotion, despite his psychotic expression in this mode. "You... Mad...?" he says, watching Mad shoot him. He then looks down at Graf for a second.
wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:41 PM): What remains of its top crashes to the ground, a garbled voice coming from the machine as its "tears" continue to fall
HyprKnux 1 11:42 pm
(11:42:58 PM): Hana: "...Blanc..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:43 pm
(11:43:10 PM): "Aaaaah…"
wyverncakes 11:43 pm
(11:43:11 PM): Blanc: "No... no no no! I hate this! I hate you! I ha-hate the whole-... I HATE-"
wyverncakes 11:43 pm
(11:43:42 PM): Its voice then goes completely silent. The machine finally disposed of.
(11:44:02 PM): Ayame: "... God fucking dammit and I thought nobody could've been more self-centered than Hana."
HyprKnux 1 11:44 pm
(11:44:10 PM): Hana: "..."
wyverncakes 11:44 pm
(11:44:13 PM): "... We're sending dismantling squads over there right now."
HyprKnux 1 11:44 pm
(11:44:17 PM): Hana clears her throat at that.
Alan Bunting 11:44 pm
(11:44:18 PM): Sora: "...um."
wyverncakes 11:44 pm
(11:44:33 PM): Ayame: "... The you in the past, Hana."
VJockey 11:44 pm
(11:44:57 PM): Mad: [The blonde walks over to what was probably left of Blanc's head and raises the blaster. Despite it being silent.... Mad fires a few shots at its head out of sheer spite.] "Dismantle. Right. Why don't we just nuke the damn thing to be sure. Or fire it into the goddamn sun."
wyverncakes 11:44 pm
(11:44:59 PM): Professor: "... Thank you, doctor." There's a twinge of annoyance in her voice.
Mister Giggles 11:45 pm
(11:45:10 PM): Casshern's still in Berserk Mode. The glitches in his targeting system aren't fully corrected, but he's still staring at Mad, before raising his hand, and taking a few slow steps forward.
cubey@aol.pl 11:45 pm
(11:45:38 PM): Devon for once is glad how well-behaved her family is. But it seems the trouble isn't over yet.
wyverncakes 11:45 pm
(11:45:40 PM): Ayame: "That's the plan. We're going to make this as thorough as possible. If we have to even go back to Arkham to find something that works, we will."
Alan Bunting 11:46 pm
(11:46:03 PM): Sora: "I like the 'fire it into the sun' idea, myself."
Tenebrae Luna 11:46 pm
(11:46:08 PM): Seiren just looks at Eri with an unemotional look. "So what now? Try to keep me contained just so you can get your pathetic sister back? Or do what is needed as I will eventually come back again?"
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:15 PM): However... the Endless aren't actually even slowly reconsituting themselves
(11:46:35 PM): In fact... the machines begin to crumble away. First to dust... and then to nothing.
(11:46:50 PM): All that remains is the pool of "tears" Blanc left behind
Mister Giggles 11:46 pm
(11:46:53 PM): Casshern doesn't even seem to notice how disturbingly similar that is to the Ruin.
VJockey 11:46 pm
(11:46:57 PM): Mad: "Right. Now if you don't mi-... what the hell?!"
HyprKnux 1 11:47 pm
(11:47:11 PM): Hana: "...that's not good at all.
cubey@aol.pl 11:47 pm
(11:47:14 PM): Nu Wa's cockpit opens itself and a black humanoid jumps out. "What do you think you're doing?" Fully clad in her Shifter armor, Devon stands behind Casshern, asking calmly but ready to act in case he does anything stupid.
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:32 PM): And slowly, the pool begins to stir... a figure beginning to step out of it.
HyprKnux 1 11:47 pm
(11:47:43 PM): Hana: "Everyone, watch out!"
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:44 PM): And suddenly Professor Himesaki's voice comes through again, now much more panicked.
Tenebrae Luna 11:47 pm
(11:47:45 PM): Seiren looks out and smirks. "Oh? Well isn't this a surprise."
Mister Giggles 11:47 pm
(11:47:50 PM): Casshern doesn't respond to Devon. He's still walking slowly towards Mad.
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:52 PM): "Madeleine! Hana! Everyone... get away from there!"
Mister Giggles 11:47 pm
(11:47:56 PM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udip7yF5gic
wyverncakes 11:48 pm
(11:48:16 PM): The "tears" then flow away from the form... revealing...
(11:48:27 PM): (DUNE: http://i45.tinypic.com/dd4bd.jpg)
Mister Giggles 11:48 pm
(11:48:51 PM): He doesn't even seem to care that this son of a bitch stole his "white suit with huge collar" look.
HyprKnux 1 11:48 pm
(11:48:56 PM): Hana: "No...!"
wyverncakes 11:49 pm
(11:49:00 PM): DUNE: "... a much better use of my powers than repairing the Endless, if I do say so myself."
Alan Bunting 11:49 pm
(11:49:21 PM): Sora: "....I'm starting to get tired of everything being out to get us today."
Doc S 11:49 pm
(11:49:24 PM): Eri: ... now it makes sense... all of it...
wyverncakes 11:49 pm
(11:49:41 PM): The figure just smiles before snapping his fingers, and at once the remaining Unions suddenly explode, becoming even more of the darkness which begins to spiral all around him.
(11:49:50 PM): DUNE: "Oh... I doubt all of it."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:50 pm
(11:50:10 PM): "Ah…We've not met. Who are you?"
wyverncakes 11:50 pm
(11:50:11 PM): "Graf was fully intending of picking up after me. Salvaging what little I'd left behind for him to work with."
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:05 PM): "But fortunately a part of me still existed inside of the Endless. And I do appreciate his efforts. He gathered everything together for me to reclaim after fixing that whole "dying" thing..."
VJockey 11:51 pm
(11:51:15 PM): Mad: "Who the hell are you?" [Mad's glaring right at this... whoever this is. She jumps slightly at the explosions and backs up at the spiraling blackness, pain rings out throughout though. She's backing off from DUNE with her blaster raised.]
cubey@aol.pl 11:51 pm
(11:51:15 PM): "Tch! I'll apologise later." There's kind of a sudden situation going on now, so Devon jumps in front of Casshern and delivers a powerful uppercut to his face - not enough to kill him hopefully (what with him being an immortal robot and all).
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:16 PM): "I'll admit I had to wait quite a while though~"
(11:51:45 PM): DUNE: "Me? I'm the one your Grandmother dedicated Fairy Park to fight against."
(11:52:16 PM): "A man they thought they'd killed... but as said before, well... a bit of me continued to live inside of the Endless. And a little bit of me... well, that's all that's needed for a revival."
(11:52:18 PM): "Graf?"
HyprKnux 1 11:52 pm
(11:52:36 PM): Hana: "No..."
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:57 PM): At once a mass of the darkness suddenly shoots down into Graf's ruined body, almost instantaniously mending it.
wyverncakes 11:53 pm
(11:53:38 PM): "Oh don't be too sad, Nanohana. This would've happened no matter how the Endless would've been destroyed."
(11:54:04 PM): And while all of this happened... Graf's body began to stir...
(11:54:14 PM): And as son as he saw DUNE again, his eyes opened wide.
(11:54:19 PM): Graf: "M-Master... you're-"
(11:54:31 PM): DUNE: "Alive? Yes."
Mister Giggles 11:54 pm
(11:54:42 PM): ... Well, his helmet flies off. And his metallic skeleton is now dented in the chin area. Casshern goes flying, and skids along the ground again, the blood mess of an arm he has leaving a red streak. As he lands, his glowing blue eyes are locked on Devon... and now you see his usual expression when his mask is closed. His eyes then stop glowing.
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:48 PM): "... Though this is victory enough. We're leaving." And at that he turned to all of you.
Tenebrae Luna 11:54 pm
(11:54:52 PM): Seiren laughs a little. "Brilliant. Simply brilliant. No matter what you all did, we would win in the end."
wyverncakes 11:55 pm
(11:55:00 PM): "Unless any of you have any intention of doing something about it, that is?"
Mister Giggles 11:55 pm
(11:55:25 PM): CRITICAL DAMAGE SUSTAINED; ALL NON-ESSENTIAL SYSTEMS REDIRECTIG TO AUTO-REPAIR CELLS.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:55 pm
(11:55:43 PM): *Shemhazai takes the invitation to send a blast of energy at Graf from its fist.+
cubey@aol.pl 11:56 pm
(11:56:16 PM): Not a pretty smile, that one. Devon doesn't lower her guard, and the situation with DUNE doesn't make the whole thing any better.
VJockey 11:56 pm
(11:56:17 PM): Mad:. "Yeah. I got something." *Mad's going to fire several shots at DUNE's smug face+
Alan Bunting 11:56 pm
(11:56:22 PM): Sora glares at DUNE. "I'm not stupid enough to attack you on foot. But this isn't over."
wyverncakes 11:57 pm
(11:57:31 PM): [Yui and Mad] "Some of your friends are though." The dark matter spirals around him, stopping all of those shots COLD... and it then proceeds to wrap around that annoying Shemhazai like a boa constricter. An instant later and Shemhazai is a broken wreck on the ground.
wyverncakes 11:58 pm
(11:58:11 PM): DUNE: "But that's enough of an exhibition. You're all damaged and beat up, and I have strength to recover... so we'll call this a draw, shall we?"
(11:58:58 PM): Dark energy then surrounded both him and Graf... right before one tendril lashed out and suddenly pierced Seiren/Momo nonfatally!
(11:59:25 PM): DUNE: "But far be it from me to leave an underling here with her cover blown and in your custody..."
(11:59:34 PM): Momo!
Mister Giggles 11:59 pm
(11:59:44 PM): "Who... are you?" "I... am Casshern. Luna... I will kill you."
cubey@aol.pl 11:59 pm
(11:59:52 PM): "Get out of Gucun." Devon sounds cold. As much as she hates to see the smug bastard get away, she's pretty sure trying to fight him would create a lot of casualties.
Mister Giggles 11:59 pm
(11:59:58 PM): Casshern faints, downed, etc.
wyverncakes 12:00 am
(12:00:25 AM): You can feel Seiren's influence drain from your body... travel through the tendril that DUNE's pierced you with... until finally the last of the evil presence leaves you for good!
Tenebrae Luna 12:00 am
(12:00:25 AM): Seiren's eyes widen. "Wha-?"
wyverncakes 12:00 am
(12:00:42 AM): DUNE: "For your own good. I'll see about getting you a body of your own soon."
(12:01:12 AM): And with that, the figure bows. "I shall indeed take my leave of this country now, seeing as it has nothing left to offer me. Farewell."
Tenebrae Luna 12:01 am
(12:01:20 AM): Momo gasps painfully before screaming as all the pain from the fight hits her.
wyverncakes 12:01 am
(12:01:33 AM): The dark energy then completely surrounded Graf and DUNE... and then they're gone.
VJockey 12:01 am
(12:01:38 AM): Mad: [Fuck this. Mad was practically tearing towards the Shemhazai as best as she could] "Yui!"
wyverncakes 12:02 am
(12:02:10 AM): Ayame: "... First Z'sa-Wia and then this."
(12:02:22 AM): "... Who's going to come back from the dead next? Josh's father?"
Tenebrae Luna 12:02 am
(12:02:24 AM): Momo breathes heavily before looking at herself. This wasn't the same body? What happened?
wyverncakes 12:02 am
(12:02:45 AM): At any rate...
(12:03:24 AM): You did at the very least destroy the Endless...
Alan Bunting 12:03 am
(12:03:25 AM): Sora starts to head for Momo in concern, but she lets out a sharp sound of pain and falls to a knee. "Aaaah... okay, this really hurts."
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:31 AM): Mission Complete?
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:04 am
(12:04:08 AM): "…Ugh…It's a bit cramped in here now."
Mister Giggles 12:04 am
(12:04:30 AM): Casshern's just laying there. Come on, pick him up before someone tries to eat him.
HyprKnux 1 12:04 am
(12:04:49 AM): Hana: "...things keep getting stranger and stranger..."
VJockey 12:05 am
(12:05:01 AM): Mad: "Right... gimme a minute... you break anything?" [Awww, how cute. Her voice is all scared and concerned as she tries to pry Shemhazai open.]
Tenebrae Luna 12:05 am
(12:05:06 AM): Momo's coms open up to Eri. Eri can hear the voice of her sister once more. "Eri...Please, don't destroy Nocturne. S-She didn't want this. D-Do what you want to me...But please, please...!"
HyprKnux 1 12:05 am
(12:05:33 AM): Hana: "Eri..."
cubey@aol.pl 12:05 am
(12:05:48 AM): Devon is going to pick Casshern up, but she won't risk actually having an unpredictable killer robot riding along in the cockpit. She'll put him in Nu Wa's hand before riding the Combat Frame herself.
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:06 am
(12:06:15 AM): "A few things." There are three panels in the front of the chest that can be opened. They're all warped out of shape, though, and inside the cockpit Yui's getting a bear hug from the walls.
Doc S 12:06 am
(12:06:31 AM): Eri was silent, but her remaining shoulder was shaking. If anyone could see her, she was laughing. It looked... unhinged, like her whole world had finally come to an end, and yet it was almost peaceful with the way the mecha slumped down and the hatch opened.
HyprKnux 1 12:07 am
(12:07:30 AM): Hana: "Eri? Eri, what's wrong? Are you okay?" And the Tsubomi's quick to reach Erika's side, the cockpit opening so Hana can try to reach Eri.
VJockey 12:08 am
(12:08:04 AM): Mad: [Meaning Mad's going to have to dig a handhold for them. The Axel Blaster is now being used like a makeshift crowbar. Mad is clearly unhappy she wasn't able to get around to giving the bloody thing a hooked blade for shit like this.]
Doc S 12:08 am
(12:08:22 AM): Eri couldn't say much, her body shaking from silent mad laughter as she was leaning against the door. "E-everything... everything's gonna be okay..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:08 am
(12:08:43 AM): "..."
cubey@aol.pl 12:08 am
(12:08:53 AM): "Well, that's enough drama I had for a while. Even at their most bratty, my daughters aren't as ill-behaved as what I fought today." Devon would part with these words, but she's actually relocated to the Chalice now so she tries to pick up destroyed parts of Nu Wa, and then heads back.
HyprKnux 1 12:09 am
(12:09:11 AM): Hana: "Eri..." And Hana goes to approach Eri.
VJockey 12:09 am
(12:09:45 AM): Mad:.... "Yui?" [and Mad puts her back into it to tear the bloody thing open.] "Yui?"
Alan Bunting 12:10 am
(12:10:01 AM): Sora throws herself onto an Aegis and heads for Momo, since Hana seems to have Eri in hand. After a moment's travel, she hesitantly hovers next to the young lady. "Hey... you okay?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:10 am
(12:10:08 AM): "I'll live. This is just…new."
Tenebrae Luna 12:11 am
(12:11:19 AM): Momo breathes heavily. It sounds like it hurts her to do just that. "E-Eri...I-I'm sorry. F-For everything." Momo sounds to be on the verge of passing out. Still it sounds like she is much more concerned for Eri than herself at the same time.
mistergiggl3s has left the room. 12:11 am
VJockey 12:11 am
(12:11:59 AM): Mad:... "Heh.... guess that makes two of us... I've never been a living floral arrangement before..." [Mad's going to carefully try to help Yui out of there.]... "I honestly hate to have to say this... but you're gonna need a doctor."
Doc S 12:12 am
(12:12:36 AM): Eri manages to shake her head. "I'm just glad I have you back, sis. And also? Everything... makes sense now. All of it."
HyprKnux 1 12:13 am
(12:13:27 AM): Hana: "It does?"
Alan Bunting 12:13 am
(12:13:31 AM): "H-hey! Don't be like that, you'll be okay...!" She shakes her head. "Ayame, we need a medical team out here, I'm not sure we should move Momo ourselves. I'm not a doctor."
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:13 am
(12:13:37 AM): "Yes, true…" Yui leans on Mad, to make up for her now bad leg. "…I've just never had anyone help me with this before."
Doc S 12:14 am
(12:14:10 AM): Eri nodded as she leaned against Hana, closing her eyes. "Everything... I realize everything now."
wyverncakes 12:14 am
(12:14:24 AM): Ayame: "No problem. We'll swap out the dismantle crew with them then."
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:14 am
(12:14:58 AM): As the two leave Shemhazai behind, it fades away….

VJockey 12:17 am
(12:17:03 AM): Mad: [Hey Yui. Mad has a thoughtful look on her face. You know those roses she has punched through her? The blonde is now pulling one out. It CLEARLY hurts like hell from Mad's expression, but she's giving Yui a smile that's mingled with some pain.] "Bet you never had anyone give you a rose this way either." [She chuckles a little as Yui is now the proud owner of one bloodied red rose and the two make for one of Yui's drones]
Shaun Garin has left the room. 12:17 am
arachnion01@gmail.com 12:18 am
(12:18:28 AM): Yui takes the rose carefully as the two ride the drone back home, thinking…she then reaches up, and kisses Mad on the cheek.
