Zs1: (( (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-FQcyuz_row)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-FQcyuz_row ))

Zs1: Much to the dismay of everyone, DUNE is back and making one last charge at ruining the very world we live in. He's charging for the Tree of Souls. For the most part, the Chalice as a whole won't make it in time so there's you guys, a detachment in the fastest transport we can send.

Camiu (SRW): Kamille is sitting anxiously in his pilot seat, knowing that he's going to encounter Seiren in the coming battle, and trying to steel his nerves.
Zs1: It'll be a hot minute before we're there, to the Tree of Hope, so, get your game face on ladies and gents! (Banter mode, activate. Backup may banter also, even if they don't get to field right away.)

Jockey (SRW): "So what the heck's this tree thing anyway... sounds familiar."
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...this is it. Can't believe it..."
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "It's the impact zone for the Rainbow Jewel. It changed the wildlife, and grew the tree."
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Tons of power in it. If Dune manages to destroy it, we're in for a hell of a fight."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo's been really quiet since the team left. She knew that they wouldn't just be fighting DUNE. There was also Graf...and her.
Salsa (SRW): Sora's uneasy about this whole thing; she's gotten used to piloting Desu Itsuki again, but she still remembers the feelings from the last time she sortied, and they're paralyzing. So she just sits there twitching for a bit, eyes downcast.
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: "... Momo. Are you going to be okay? We'll be fighting her soon."
Jockey (SRW): "huh..." Mad's going to run through the systems on the Lambda. "When you said it messed with the wildlife...?"
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "I mean we'll be facing a lot of opponents, guardians. No doubt Dune's gotten through most of them."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo: ...I know. And to answer your question...I don't know. But I'll try my best.
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Kowainaa, Uzainaa, Desertrians, Hoshinaa, Zakenaa, Nawemaweke, the whole nine yards."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: "I won't let you fight alone against her. None of us will."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo smiles softly. "I know...Thanks."
Knux (SRW): Hana: "We've made it this far..."
Jockey (SRW): She grins at that. "Fun times then huh?"
Zs1: Cutting you off, the transport's pilot points out the huge, pretty tree off in the distance, though there appear to be a hundred and a half specks of color, surrounding the tree.

Shaun (SRW): Eri smirked. "Yep. Just like old times, smashing monsters and having fun."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: That's the tree? and we're still so far from it!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Woah... it's pretty..."
Salsa (SRW): At the announcement, Sora snaps out of her worries. "Just like always... we'll make it work. We can't let DUNE destroy the Tree." She then looks out the window and is transfixed by the Tree itself, echoing Hana's sentiment: "Pretty..."
Jockey (SRW): ".... Its a tree." Mad couldn't hemp but deadpan after Hana spoke.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...it's a pretty tree. I think it's cute." Oh, Mad...
Shaun (SRW): (tree of souls: (Link: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/DoremiHeartCatchPreCure011280x720D5C82B8Cmkv_snapshot_0006_20130304_183144_zps451738c5.jpg)http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/DoremiHeartCatchPreCure011280x720D5C82B8Cmkv_snapshot_0006_20130304_183144_zps451738c5.jpg )
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You can try and ask it out after the battle, okay Hana?
Knux (SRW): And Hana's just going to look at Kamille with a "Really?" look on her face.
Zs1: DUNE: "Well well well, you girls make me glad I'm not a gambling man. I was at least hoping to take care of matters before you'd arrived but..." Dune spreads his arms. "I brought plenty of favors for the party."
Shaun (SRW): Eri rolls her eyes.
Jockey (SRW): "Hey. Lay off blue. I got on the snark train first."
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...he came prepared..."
Shaun (SRW): (mood music: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEo4GQQxxLA)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEo4GQQxxLA )
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Lovely. Cannon Fodder
Zs1: Amongst the crazy number of monsters, the girls also identify both Graf AND Sieren

Zs1: DUNE: (Link: http://i45.tinypic.com/dd4bd.jpg

Graf: (Link: http://i46.tinypic.com/t99ys9.jpg)http://i46.tinypic.com/t99ys9.jpg (explosions)
Seiren: (Link: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/DoremiHeartCatchPreCure011280x720D5C82B8Cmkv_snapshot_0017_20130303_173327_zps96aff7a3.jpg)http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/DoremiHeartCatchPreCure011280x720D5C82B8Cmkv_snapshot_0017_20130303_173327_zps96aff7a3.jpg

Salsa (SRW): Sora's good humor disappears entirely. "I guess we're going to be in for a war."
Zs1: There's a healthy layer of monsters standing between yourselves and the big bad trio.
DUNE: "Now, if you girls will kindly take your time, I have a few matters to attend to." and with that, he slowly floats toward the tree.
Tenebro (SRW): Momo's eyes narrow as she looks at Seiren. Nocturne seems to twitch ever so slightly at seeing its' old master as well. "...So that is your form now."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: 'This pressure!'
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...ready. everyone?"
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Fantastic, he's stalling for time.
Zs1: Fortunately a barrer stands between him and the Tree of Hope, but that doesn't keep him from pushing a hand into it, a great, powerful light blinding the area he's working on
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Let's go
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Move out people! Let's go!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Ready as I'm getting. It all comes down to this!"
Zs1: Initative: Eri, Hana, Kamille, Mad, Sora, Momo
Jockey (SRW): The Lambda draws its railcannon - which Mad pumps with relish - like a shotgun - the weapon seems to open up as she loads what looks like a massive harpoon into it.
Zs1: Enemies: DUNE, Graf, Seiren, PreDesu montser of the week friendly dudes of joy and party times (x100ish)
Jockey (SRW): "Fun times for all.."
Zs1: (Let's get this party started. DesuFight all set! READY!!!!
Eri, Hana; GOOOO!!!)
Shaun (SRW): (track loaded: (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moC9yQGtU8k)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moC9yQGtU8k )
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Everyone! Try to ignore the creatures and head for DUNE!" *With that, Hana and the Desu Tsubomi rocket forward, beam sabers drawn as she starts to cut a path through the monsters+ If anything, to get rid of them and thin the crowd a bit.
Shaun (SRW): *Eri jetted out of the transport, not wasting any time as she opened with a salvo of explosive shots to rake across the mooks. "That's what she said!" And she blazed forward, raking the opponents with energy fire.+
Zs1: [Hana] HAHAHA wat? You think it would start off that easy? Right of the back, as you crowd into the monsters, they start to crowd on you, drawing all the initial agro of about 20 of them. You may get one or two right of the back, but the rest continue to swarm, like zombies to brain matter (react)
Salsa (SRW): # Hana
Zs1: (Approved: Sora supDef Hana)
Zs1: [Eri] The spray of shots does thin things out a bit, blowing away 5-6, but the sheer mass of enemies versus the spacing and number of shots make it seem like you've hardly taken a bite out of swarm, but, you're so far back that they don't start to swarm you over Hana.
Salsa (SRW): *There's nothing to boost your confidence like being to protect the only things that matter to you in the world. From out of nowhere (relative to the mooks, at least), a great sunflower comes barging in to carry the mooks away, then another from a slightly different direction. Then, above Desu Tsubomi, a yellow glare as Desu Itsuki soars in a flying leap, forming one more shield. "Itsuki Aegis Impact!" And there's one more to crush anything else that's left.+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Woah...!" *And this is why she should learn not to seperate from the crowd! She's gonna hafta take off into the sky a bit, blades slashing as she did...+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Sora...!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "I've got you, Hana. Believe in me just a little longer, and we'll get through this."
Shaun (SRW): Eri grinned fiercely. "Lets goooooo!"
Zs1: [Sora] Several monsters are pushed back by the first shield, then more by the next, giving Hana some breathing room. The third, the Aegis Impact, sends another side of monsters crashing back, several more, couunt 4-5, being wiped out from impact alone. But, this is a flying crowd. 360 degrees of potential assault. There's time to breathe, but that's hardly a thing to brag about when there's more a'comin
Zs1: (Kamille, Mad, roll out)
*** Corel (SRW) has joined the conversation.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "I will... I believe in everyone. I believe in MYSELF!"
Salsa (SRW): Despite herself, Sora grins; Hana being sufficiently fired up for this is just what the Professor ordered.
*** Arach (SRW) has left the conversation.
Camiu (SRW): "Mad, we're not getting to those people like this! Let's do some crowd killing!" *Kamille flings his Axe up, and catches it with the grappling wire. "I'm not much for attack calling, but let's get into the spirit of things, eh?" He rushes forward, and slings the Axe into the crowd, the beam blade activating as it approached&!
Jockey (SRW): *Mad's moved as quickly as she could - but seems to stop and hang in the air for a moment, steadying the Lambda as it brought the large gun in its hands to bear. She slaps at a control and the contents of the magazine in the weapon's normal mode joined the Harpoon it was carrying, orbitting around the free floating, shimmering lance as electricity arced off it. Mad grins as she pulls the trigger. "HELLSTORM CANNOOOOON!" There's a massive crack in the air as the projectiles waiting in the weapon were sent screaming through the air - scattershot bursting into high speed flaming death - some of it coating the massive harpoon in the middle of the raging conflageration - making it seem even worse!+
Zs1: [Kamille] As the axe is thrown out, one monster eats it delightfully so, but, it goes right through it's body as it activates, still momentum for another enemy to actally grab on it through the monster and pull (continue/react)
Zs1: [Mad] Much like Eri's scatter of shots, you're too far away to get swarmed instantly, bt now that you've dranw their attention, they begin to, making hitting more with the single 'shot' easier, wasting about 10 right away, leaving a few more burning as they begin to storm the Lambda.
Zs1: (Momo, Sora, goooo!)
Zs1: MEANWHILE, it seems Graf and Seiren are still chilling behind enemy lines, looming there like a couple of bouncers while DUNE works on breaking the barrier. Graf doesn't appear to be giving fucks, as if he's bored, but Seiren has this devilish grin on her face.
Camiu (SRW): *Kamille uses the gathered momentum to start spinning the Axe and caught monster around and around, gaining speed and hopefully catching other enemies in the wake of his spin before he cries out "SONIC REVOLUTER!!!" He pings into the Biosensor to channel energy into the beam Axe to increase cutting power to the max!+
Tenebro (SRW): Momo charges a dark orb in Nocturne's hands before raising them to rain down swarms of energy blasts down on the enemy to thin them out and make an opening for everyone to get to DUNE.+
Salsa (SRW): *On her way down, Sora hasn't been idle. "Itsuki Flash!" Projectiles fly out in a hail around the unit to try and take care of things, and should an enterprising mook get a little too close... well, Sora does still know aikido. She'll pick up one of the mooks and throw it at another one.+
Jockey (SRW): She's going to grin as the Railcannon closes up. She ditches the spent magazine as she slaps in High-Ex rounds. Today is a good day.
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Hmm... full-power assault, or convervative attacks so we can pull out all the stops later?"
Jockey (SRW): "I say save the best for the head chucklefucks up over yonder"
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Save your strength. Don't use your best until we get to the real threat!"
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: I'm just getting started, no worries here!
Zs1: [Kamille] The monster doesn't want to really MOVE, but when the Biosensor kicks in, it's hands are blown off the axe, leaving room to get momentum going and swinging the axe about, clearing a little disc of space around the Zeta, a good 4-6 more enemies ripped open
Zs1: [Momo] Now that enemies are starting to approach you as a group, it's easier to hit more monsters with scattered attacks, but it's also easier for them to get up in your grill. While you focus on making an opening, several mosters come in from 5o'clock, the lead rock-monster laying a massive punch in Nocturne (react)
Camiu (SRW): #Momo
Zs1: Back to the aforementioned 'chucklefucks', DUNE finally seems to have given up as the light around him fades. But suddenly the air cracks, a spider-web crack in the air that quickly spreads in thousands of glowing lines. "Ahhhh, here we go. I can handle things from here. You two go on ahead, won't you?" he orders, making a nice, steady drift towards the now-unprotected tree.
Zs1: (Approved: Kamille supDef Momo)
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "No, the Tree...! We've got to get over there!"
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2vLpR1gQQA)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2vLpR1gQQA
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Crap! It's unprotected!"
Camiu (SRW): *Kamille draws the Axe in quickly with the Grappling Wire before bringing his Beam Rifle to bear and firing into the rock type monster!+ Momo!
Zs1: [Sora] There's still plenty of monsters to shoot at and eat projectiles, but their number makes it seem like they're actually working as a collective, as downed monsters make for living shields for the uninjured. While one does get grappled and thrown into more, a few toy-construct enemies close around Sora, everything punching in tandem from several directiosn (react)
Tenebro (SRW): Momo focuses the rain of blasts into one dense beam and swings the continual beam like a large staff to knock away the on coming enemies before focusing the full force of the beam on the lead rock-monster.+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "No! Everyone, hurry!"
Zs1: [Momo/Kamille] Between the beam rifle and the start of the dark shot, the rock is cracked and broken, leaving the rest of the beam to hit the following monsters, but now they're coming from another direction, a massive stop sign slapping down into the Nocturne's back and beating her downward torward the ground.
Salsa (SRW): *"That's not how it's going to go today! Itsuki Dynamite, explode!" With that call, a bright yellow light radiates out, pushing back everything nearby. That conveniently should just be mooks. It's also damaging, but she's more looking to clear the air.+
Zs1: [Sora] Again, you manage to give yourself some breathing room, but, you forget how close you are to Hana as well, who, in your blast, is pushed a little ways out as well. No harm done, but the shove puts Hana right where a giant track-rolling-pin monster can slam right into her back. WHAM
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Damn... Hana!"
Knux (SRW): Hana: "AAAH!" Owowowowow...!
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Oh man, c'mon!"
Zs1: Down at the tree, DUNE finally stops moving, hovering down near the base of the tree itself. He looks up at it like he actually gives fucks, running his hand over the trunk. "Ahh, this lovely, beautiful little tree... Let me tell you girls a story..."
Salsa (SRW): Now Sora doesn't even have the will to apologize -she feels horrible, and she can't get a word out.
Zs1: DUNE: "In the beginning, there were two children. One would burden the power of all sorrow, the other would burden the hopes and joys. The child of sorrow grew frustrated however, and lashed out at the other."
Zs1: DUNE: A powerful battle raged for years, centuries even, before the hope was destroyed. But, not quite. Hurling through space, was the Rainbow Jewel, and here it landed, making a tree of souls, the link of energy between it and the world.
Zs1: DUNE: "How ironic that destroying this tree, will then destroy the hope you require to defeat me."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo frowns deeply. She whispers in a hushed tone. "What is up to? Is he just trying to buy time?"
Zs1: And while DUNE was at a standstill, suddenly... he just throws one punch... and then... (Link: http://youtu.be/rmFEXNpmCLA?t=11s)http://youtu.be/rmFEXNpmCLA?t=11s
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Holy shit..."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: ... You absolute...
Knux (SRW): Hana: "No... nononononono..."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You're fucking PATHETIC
Jockey (SRW): "..."
Zs1: Fortunately, you all get a beautiful destruction out of the tree as a ranbow of leaves trickles to the ground like an ironic rain of glittering, beautiful despair.
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: This is what it was all about?
Jockey (SRW): "Sorrow huh..."
Shaun (SRW): COFFRET: Power levels are dropping fast!
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You were Frustrated!?
Zs1: Graf finally flinches as he smiles, while Seiren starts laughing like she's been lost in the loony bin for a little too long.
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You were JEALOUS!?
Salsa (SRW): Sora holds out Desu Itsuki's hand to catch one of the leaves. She hears the shouting from POTPOURRI, but she's not paying it any attention. She just feels... dead.
Zs1: (Eri, Hana, if you can muster the moral requirements, you may act! HA!)
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You came here because of your piss-poor GRUDGE!?
Jockey (SRW): "..."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: No, fuck you!
Shaun (SRW): Eri clenched her fist. "This ends. Now."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: FUCK YOU, AND FUCK YOUR PATHETIC SOB STORY!
Tenebro (SRW): Nocturne seems to cry at the sight and Momo has to use all her will not to do the same.
Shaun (SRW): *With a yell, Eri poured her power through the conduits as she blasted forward, drawing forth her tact. "BLUE FORTE WAVE!"+
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: You say you shoulder the power of all the sorrows in the world?! WELL CLEARLY YOU COULDN'T IF YOU LET IT DO THIS!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "You... HOW DARE YOU!" *Trying to pick herself off the ground, she races towards DUNE, unsheathing her TACT and firing at the same time as Eri "PINK FORTE WAVE!" Pink and Blue energies are heading for that creep!+
Zs1: [Hana/Eri] Try as you might to muster everything you can for this attack, it only eats so far into the monsters, before a huge explosion intervenes, cutting off a beam that was only HEADED in DUNE's general direction.
Graf: "Now now, don't let it get to you. Or... do." the man says, doffing his tophead of cool.
Zs1: [Eri/Hana] With your attack suddenly SHUT DOWN, the monsters begin swarming your machines, rather than attacking, they all seem to latch on, pulling at limbs in seperate directions (react)
Tenebro (SRW): # Both?
Zs1: (Approved: SupDef Hana/Eri)
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Hey let go!"
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: ERI, HANA!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "H-Hey! NO!" *And Hana's gonna try to fight back, hoping to keep her machine in one piece...+
Zs1: [Hana] In your struggles, you actually pull your arm free,yanno, safely, not like out of socket as if I were some kind of dutchbag! But the rest of you is still being tugged on, but there's fairly less strain.
Tenebro (SRW): Momo instantly flashes right next to Eri and Hana with energy charged in both her hands. She fires the bullets at the monsters holding both of them to stun them before summoning her TACT and lashes out to slice them apart.+
Salsa (SRW): Sora comes back to herself at the screams from her partners. "No... no! Come on, I've got to..." But she's fighting the power warnings from the Itsuki as well, and she's getting nowhere fast.
Zs1: [Momo] Much to your dismay, you manage to get as far as firing at the monsters, setting Hana and Eri free after some decent stress damage to their machines. However as you draw your TACT, you're kicked off to the side by none other than Seiren. "You don't GET to touch him! Get out of here you pathetic counterfiet"
Camiu (SRW): #Momo
Zs1: (MadKamille, Mad, action))
Zs1: (Sustained)
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKK-oEWs6XE)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKK-oEWs6XE
Tenebro (SRW): Momo scoffs before righting herself an glaring at her worse half. "...Seiren...I guess this marks the beginning of our last fight, huh?"
Jockey (SRW): *Mad's going tear through the air and send several high explosive rounds into the crowd as she charges. Her grip on her controls was tight as she made to race after the big bad&
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Seiren. You have no right to call Momo the counterfeit. You will never be the original. Even if you were to kill her here, take her place and all that, it will never change the fact that YOU AREN'T HER! *Kamille's Biosensor's growing stronger in response to his rage. He's using this boost to fly right at Seiren and fire off shots from the HML at her!+
Zs1: Seiren digs her finger into her ear, looking like she just doesn't give a fuck. "I'm sorry, were you saying something. I seem to have something in my ear."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo looks down in thought. "...You're incorrect Kamille. She never wanted to be me...and in a sense...She can be considered me."
Zs1: [Mad] Monsters begin to swarm and get shot down as the Lambda charges along the ground, heading for DUNE. Of course, you catch someone's attention as Graf sees the tiny little thing hovering forward. "I think not, my dear." Suddenly, there's a big, black bat in your path, Mad (react/continue)
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Momo-?
Tenebro (SRW): Momo: That said though...She was made from my weakness. And thus, she weaker than I am. I'm stronger than I was ever before. And today I will prove it. I will face myself...and I will win. *Her eyes glow with determination as she gazes into Seiren's eyes.
Zs1: [Kamille] Now that Momo's gone and dampeend your charge with a harsh dose of reality, she snaps her fingers for every time the HML fires, the air rippling around her, warping the shots off target, only scuffing her boot, before she punches at the air one time, a wave of pressure crashing into the Zeta and halting it's forwaard advance. "Get out of here you little fly"
*** Arach (SRW) has joined the conversation.
Zs1: (Sora, Momo, TWO ARMS)
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Fly? Bitch, you think you can get rid of me because you want me away? THINK AGAIN! *Seiren is weaker than Momo, right? He's channeling as much rage as he can in to the Biosensor to fight back!+
Jockey (SRW): *Mad swings the gun to the ground and fires. Hitting her thrusters in time with the explosion to send her upwards and into the air "Graf." She snarled the name out. "Y'know. I was really hoping for a chance to bust your face in... you pompous fucker." -ARCHIMEDES SYSTEM: ONLINE-. Armor splits and reconfigures. And she charges at the Bat to slash at it with a gunblade!+
Tenebro (SRW): Momo smiles ruefully as she looks at Seiren. "My Seiren. We've only been separated this long and you got this sloppy? I seem to remember the days when those shots wouldn't have touched you. Unless you were going for a fashion statement by scuffing your boots. If so, than they sadly suit you well."
Tenebro (SRW): Momo fires a few shots at Seiren using her speed to try and strike Seiren from multiple directions.&
Zs1: (I didn't give you a react prompt Kamille. On purpose)
Camiu (SRW): (Awww. Redacted)
Salsa (SRW): *Sora's having a hard time figuring out what to do with herself at this point. Hana and Eri are in trouble, and there are the three big bads to dea, with... but it looks like Seiren's taken care of, and Mad can take care of herself for now. That leaves Hana and Eri, and she runs in to physically remove as many of the offending mooks as she can, resorting to charging the energy for shields into the Itsuki's hands to add power if she has to.+
Zs1: [Mad] Graf just sort of smirks as Mad cuts into the giant bat. That's not a creature at all; it'sa bomb! And cutting into it blows up right in Mad's face, rattling the cockpit something fierce while it's send crashign back into the ground onto one of it's arms, making it completely useless. "What did you think that was? A plush toy?" Graf responds, doffing his hat again as he makes his way down AT Mad, another huge bat summoned and sent at the Lambda Archimedes (react)
Zs1: [Momo] "Don't talk like I made a mistake. Your entire existence is a mistake!" she screams back. Actually caring to evade this time, Seiren dances about in the air, only to make a turn to see Graf under 'attack'. Her hesitation gets her hit in the arm and puts her attention back on Momo. "BITCH!" she screams, the boom of her voice shaking the air, rattling Momo in her cockpit as she's hit by the shock of the voice itself. (react)
Zs1: [Sora] One by one, Sora pries Hana and Eri free, but while she's focused on that, the monsters aren't going to just leave her alone. Clown faces and Stereos start throwing random objects at her, and wrapping her in cassette tape (react)
Shaun (SRW): #Sora
Knux (SRW): #Sora?
Jockey (SRW): *Mad was pretty much rattled around in the cockpit. Serves her right for thinking the Bat was like that huge bull he sicced on them the last time. She gets the Lambda back on its feet. One arm. But that's enough to do damage. She stows the gunblade. "Gear Lance!" Liquid metal seems to flow from the slasher gun, forming a sharpened pole - Mad charges forward, making to pole vault over the bat and swing down with her oversized mag-powered Pile Bunker onto Graf!+
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: But Seiren, you're a part of Momo, aren't you? That would mean you're a mistake as well. ['She's can't no-sell shots anymore. She really is getting sloppy. And did she just get distracted?'] What's the matter, Seiren, can't cope with failure?
Tenebro (SRW): Momo waits for the attack to come close as she charges energy in one hand. As the boom closes in, Nocturne seems to vanish via teleportation and Seiren soon is met with a Nocturne swinging an energy enhanced, open handed, back handed, slap aimed at Seiren's face.+
Zs1: (Approved: Hana supDef Sora (she's got the hand free))
Salsa (SRW): *Sora isn't even paying attention to the ones she's peeling off at this point; they're not important, weighed against making sure Hana and Eri are free. She redoubles her efforts, stopping at most to throw a shield behind her.+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Sora! Hang on!" *With that free hand, she switches to the beam blade, instead launching it at the one trying to bind the Itsuki+
Shaun (SRW): Eri grimaced at the situation. "We need to get to the tree. If we can get Dune away from it, we might be able to do something. But I'm fresh out of ideas..."
Knux (SRW): Hana: "..." Hana's thinking... an idea's coming, but...
Zs1: [Mad] Graf raises an eyebrow as the Lambda flips over the second bat, and smacks him over the head with the huge metal pole. The hat is crushed... demolished! He looks visibly distraught over his hat even! In that, he grasps at the metal and pulls on it, yanking on Lamdba in the process, unless she wants to give up her weapon (react)
Zs1: [Momo] The bitch slap lands, rattling the girl for a moment. Her face reddened, she snarls before drawing her own hand back and slapping the Nocturne in return, however, hers backed by a barrier that slams Momo quite a ways back, striking so hard across the Nocturne's face that it bends the metal inward.
Zs1: [Hana/Sora] The blade, thrown at a strange angle, only cuts the casette tape holding Sora back from pulling the girls free. One at a time, Hana, then Sora are freed, but not before she takes a good pummeling on her back. Other monsters have piled on, trying to smash through her barrier, until one finally breaks it like stained glass!
Zs1: (Hana, Eri, action!)
Knux (SRW): Hana: "I got an idea..."
Shaun (SRW): Eri: And...?
Knux (SRW): Hana: "We can't win like this. We need the upper hand here. But, what I'm gonna do's gonna be risky."
Shaun (SRW): Eri smiled a little. "Risk is our middle name. Sora and I have your back."
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "That's never stopped us before."
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQB7rnZOiMs)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQB7rnZOiMs
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Just keep them off me. And Sora, when I give the order, catch me."
Shaun (SRW): Eri nodded. "Lets do this."
Knux (SRW): *And with that, Hana races off, heading towards DUNE and the tree+
Shaun (SRW): *And Eri zooms in front, moving to protect Hana from harm.+
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "It will be done."
Salsa (SRW): Sora looks for a way to cover them, but she's looking for an opening to charge through with a shield to cover their backs.
Zs1: As Hana and Eri dash off towards DUNE, Graf flinches in his general direction, but is tied up with Mad so he can't move to his aide. Seiren gives fewer concerns about DUNE but sees that Graf is in a tangle and heads for Mad
[Hana/Eri] With his lackeys tied up, DUNE just smiles. "Really now? You're coming after me in your condition. Please girls... Don't bother..." And with that, he begins to draw his foot back, releasing it in a rapid pair of kicks that send crossing shock waves through the air (react)
Salsa (SRW): # Hana/Eri
Zs1: (Approved)
Shaun (SRW): *Eri moves protectively in front of Hana, generating a shield as she yells, "No one gets through our barrier!" However she's in full view of the attack.+
Jockey (SRW): *"Hey! Hands off the Merchandise!" Mad's lifting the Bunker into the air! Machinery squeals considering the bastard's heavier than he looks... But Mad doesn't intend to keep him on the arm for long.. -Emergency Release - Pile Bunker Stake- "Release!"...When you consider that the Pile Bunker was the Railcannon in the Lambda's standard mode.... One doesn't have to imagine what the emergency release entails for the spike Graf probably was holding onto.+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Eri...!" *She's going to ignore... she has to do this! She's going to keep charging through, leaping into the air+
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "Keep going!"
Salsa (SRW): *Sora redlines Desu Itsuki to get there in time, and turning at the last possible second to bring a shield online of her own online. "Itsuki Protection!" A massive yellow vertical shield blazes to life in the air, covering both Eri's protection effort and Hana's jump.+
Zs1: [Eri/Sora] Where Eri stopped, she's placed under less protection than Hana. While Hana is totally covered as the barrier is just... blown away like a pencil through wet paper, Eri isn't so lucky as the first wave completly removes her unit's head and arm, while the other strikes the chest and cuts the torso wide open, exposing the control sphere where all the mo-cap takes place...
On one hand, while the machine is useless, the breaking of the control systems shut out a good chucnk of the feedback that might've left Eri crippled from pain alone
Tenebro (SRW): Momo: ERI!
Shaun (SRW): And Eri hits the eject seconds before she's blown out backwards. Moments later the Erika EXPLODES into a rainbow colored fireball as she goes sailing towards Sora!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...Eri...!" Ignore! Ignore, dammit!
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "ERI! No, no, nonono- open the hatch...!"
Zs1: [Mad] Whilst pulling on the spike, it launches forth at, for him at least, unexpected velocity, which rips through his shoulder. Seiren flips her shit that Graf was even hurt, and even Graf himself looks painfully shocked that he was even hurt so! "That... is entirely UNACCEPTABLE! To hell with you and your little toys!
Shaun (SRW): Wobbling within consciousness, Eri reached out her hand towards Sora!
Zs1: Graf has ceased playing, and rapidly begins to mutate, growing larger still, more monsterous, more malicious...
Enemy evolution!: Graf Dragon: (Link: http://i45.tinypic.com/21bueyr.jpg
)http://i45.tinypic.com/21bueyr.jpg
Zs1: [Sora] Eri is flying at you, (react!)
Jockey (SRW): "Awww. Did I hurt you that badly? You pissed Graf? You mad? C'mon..."
Salsa (SRW): *Against all conventional battlefield wisdom, Desu Itsuki's hatch slides open and Sora steps out, reaching out with her hand to catch Eri before she falls to a pasty end. Of course, she's about to lose her balance and fall out of her own mecha, so she forms a shield and uses it to slowly pick Eri up and bring her closer, pulling her up.+
Jockey (SRW): "Come at bro" Maliciously amused Shit eating grin does not even begin to describe the look on Mad's face.
Shaun (SRW): Eri groans as she looks up at Sora, very badly hurt. "Thanks for the save," she said weakly, holding up two things: COFFRET's data pack to plug it, and a yellow switch. "Thought we might need this. Use it on me, get me back on my feet..."
Zs1: [Hana] IN the meantime, DUNE looks a bit surprised that Hana isn't coming for him at all. "And just where are you going?" DUNE may has well ahve just thrown Mad's pile bunker at her with the punch he sends in Hana's direction (react)
Camiu (SRW): #Hana
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Not now...!" *And as that Pile Bunker comes racing at her, she's gonna swing her arm at it to swat it away.+
Zs1: (Sustained: she's too far off for that)
Salsa (SRW): Sora brings Eri into the Itsuki and closes the hatch. "Any time. You're important to me, I'm not going to let you down." She docks COFFRET's unit into the Itsuki, and puzzles out the switch for a moment before shrugging and brute-forcing it with her own magic until it works; she happens to find the button quickly enough anyway.
Shaun (SRW): Eri grinned up at her as she felt the Medical Switch begin to do its thing. "Lets go support Hana."
Zs1: [Hana] It was an analogy, but as you smack away the projectile, the arm is near blown off in the process, saving the rest of the machine, and your charge towards your objective.
Zs1: (Mad, Kamille)
Salsa (SRW): Sora nods. "Right. It's going to be a rough ride... hold on tight." And with a last look to make sure Eri's not going to fall over as soon as she starts moving, she brings the Itsuki on course to go help Hana... assuming they even get there in time.
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTqGodIAZXs)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTqGodIAZXs
Knux (SRW): Hana winces as she feels the arm nearly getting blown off, but she's able to make it to her objective - the tree itself. Landing, she quickly turns to face the others.
Zs1: DUNE raises an eyebrow. "And for what purpose do you cower at the stump of that dead tree. Do you feel that badly for a mere tree... Oh yes, that's right, that was your only hope."
Salsa (SRW): Understanding dawns on Sora's face as she understands Hana's plan. That's quickly followed by panic, and pushing Itsuki as fast as it'll go. And then a little faster, just to be sure.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "We can't face you as we are. You've made sure of that, DUNE. But, what I can do is even up the odds. Desus protect people's smiles, even at great costs. We've lost a lot this past month and we're not going to let those sacrifices be in vain!"
Jockey (SRW): *Mad's going to grin... pumping out more agression and the serious desire to harm into the Agression Adapter. The under-arm blade detatching as it was grabbed and wielded like a sword. "Time to kill me a fancy lizard." She launches into a lightning charge assault towards Graf! Rather than going right for his face, she's going for the neck - Slashing with the combination self-repairing metal/beam cutter sword!&
Camiu (SRW): *It never pays to be distracted and angry, Seiren, Kamille knows this by heart. Clocking the Biosensor up to overdrive, he intends to bring Seiren a reality check by kicking her*+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "The tree might be dead, but it can be regrown. CHYPrE, reroute all of the Tsubomi's power into the tree!"
Knux (SRW): CHYPrE: "But, that much'll fuse it-desu!"
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...I know."
Knux (SRW): CHYPrE: "...right. Preparing... NOW!" And with that, the Tsubomi starts glowing brightly as the fusion process begins.
*** Steam (SRW mod) has joined the conversation.
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Well sonufagun...
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Sora, hurry!
Zs1: [Mad/Kamille] There is much ruining of all your plans! As tthe Zeta's kick plows into Seiren's ribs, she flies by in a hurry, letting the kick land without giving a damn that it broke a rib or not. IN much hurry, she puts herself, and a heavy barrier between Mad's slach for Graf's neck, putting her everything into stopping the slash in place (Mad, continue)
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "That's...!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora shakes herself. "Right...! Come on, get there...!" If she were paying any attention to her instruments, she'd note the Itsuki is moving faster than it ever has before. But that's not important. Not with what's about to happen.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "I've made a lot of mistakes since I became a PreDesu, but this is one I won't make. I'll give up everything I have to fix your mistakes, DUNE... I'll give everyone a fighting chance! To make sure my friends... no, this WORLD, will keep fighting! For a better and happier world! DESU TSUBOMI WILL BECOME A TREE OF HOPE!"
Zs1: DUNE: "You're surrendering your machine for that tree? You're a fool! What can one simple heart do that that tree couldn't?!"

Knux (SRW): Hana: "Simple, DUNE - give it love. Something you can never understand."
Knux (SRW): CHYPrE: "Process has started, Hana, we need to get out of here now-desu!"
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Get in close, Sora! And open the hatch!
Zs1: DUNE looks visibly bothered by this, fury crossing his expression.
Jockey (SRW): *Except Mad was pumping more and more of her fury into the strike, pushing even harder against the barrier and ripping the blade across - and following it with a knee smash - firing the cutting laser joined at the Lambda's leg at the moment of impact for MASSIVE DAMAGE!+
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "I'm going as fast as I can...!"
Knux (SRW): With that, the hatch on the Tsubomi snaps open as the machine starts to transform more and more. "SORA! CATCH ME!" And with that, Hana grabs CHYPrE and makes the leap!
Shaun (SRW): Popping the hatch, she yelled "Hana!" And held out her hand for her to take. There's another hand for her too.
Salsa (SRW): The girl slams her hand down on the hatch release again, the wind howling at her as she keeps pushing. It's going to be close...!
Salsa (SRW): Sora holds out her hand. This had better work, they're only getting one shot to make this catch...!
Knux (SRW): And Hana's hand stretches out in front of her as she tries to snatch that hand... and boy is time moving slow for her.
Shaun (SRW): I know right? And Eri's hand closes around one...
Zs1: [Mad] Seiren kicks back, and sends Graf himself reeling back, and out of range of the swing. Seiren can't keep up against the rage of the atack, her own defence not fueled by anything so deep or infinie. The barrier breaks, Seiren reeling back as she takes a knee to the gut, and then a laser through her body, making her couch up blood.
Zs1: It's not helping Seiren that the broken rib is pressing against a lung. Good times, good times.
Salsa (SRW): Sora grabs on too.
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "PULL!"
Shaun (SRW): Eri hauls her in!
Jockey (SRW): "Heya Tapeworm! That didn't hurt too much did it?"
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: Nicely done, Mad!
Salsa (SRW): Sora falls backward into the Itsuki once again, panting with exhaustion. "We... made it... in time..."
Knux (SRW): Hana's eyes are closed in a panic as she feels herself being pulled in. "Am... am I...?"
Shaun (SRW): Eri grinned. "Not yet you ain't."
Zs1: The Tsubomi begins to glow, brighter and brighter until it suddenly collapses in on itself into a sphere of light, which injects itself down into the broken trunk and roots of the Tree of Hope.
Salsa (SRW): Sora smiles. "You'd better not be. We worked too hard to fail now."
Shaun (SRW): Eri: The tree it's...
Zs1: IT's faint, but a tiny little bud sprouts from the stump. Then that starts spreading like a wildfire, vines and roots taking hold of the old trunk and breaking it up, using it as fertilizer and a base to replant itself as the tree rapidly ages and grows.

Before everyone's eyes, and to DUNE's own dismay, the tree is rapidly returned to it's previous glory in a matter of a few minutes, an explosion of leaves as the glowing power of love and hope puts the prismatic tree on display.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...we did it..."
Zs1: DUNE: "Onore...."
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "It's beautiful..."
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9adtUvC_68)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9adtUvC_68
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Er... guys...?
Tenebro (SRW): Nocturne reaches out to catch one of the falling leaves of the new tree as Momo looks on in awe.
Jockey (SRW): "...I think my eyes just burned a little. Ow."
Zs1: Onore... Onore... ONORE... ONORE... ONORE! ONOOOREEEEEE PREEDESUUUU!!!
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: ... Sora, I didn't get like that when I went crazy, did I?
Zs1: DUNE throws his arms back in rage, tilting back as if he stood on the tips of his toes, his back arched in rage, his jacket billowing and burning up in fury and rage.
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "That... is probably a bad sign."
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Not the time!"
Tenebro (SRW): Momo stiffens. In her time as Seiren she never saw DUNE even get emotional But now... "Everyone get back."
Shaun (SRW): Eri: This it... the final showdown.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "...what's he doing...?!"
Zs1: Darkness ripples around DUNE as his body seems to grow, darkness surrounding him furthter, until it's somewhat clear that that darkness isn't just 'darkness' it's the vaccuum of space, and everyone's being sucked in. There is no react; in a few minutes everyone; DUNE, Graf, Seiren's dying body, monsters, Kamille, Mad, Momo, Eri, Sora, and Hana are all pulled out into space.
Jockey (SRW): "WHAT THE FUC-"
Shaun (SRW): Eri: H-holy...
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Wha...?!"
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: He pulled us into space?
Zs1: Appropriately so, as DUNE is no longer 'human sized', and is rather easily the size of... Oh, I dunno... big enough to have his own gravational pull if such a thing mattered right now. HIs FACE is as big as the Earth itself, and here you are, in space, looking at DUNE, with the Earth at your back.
Salsa (SRW): Sora's disoriented; the Itsuki being pulled into space would be bad enough if there weren't two other masses in the cockpit with her. "This is... whoa..."
Zs1: DUNE (trnsformed): (Link: http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/shaungarin/T-NHeartCatch_Precure_49HD25487D49mp4_snapshot_0615_20120311_141850.jpg

Tenebro (SRW): Momo looks on in horror. "This...is DUNE's true power?"
Zs1: Enemies (that matter): MONSTER DUNE, Graf Dragon
Knux (SRW): CHYPrE: "N-Not even Professor Himesaki's faced this!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Then we'll be the first and the last!"
Jockey (SRW): "....ha.... AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Zs1: (Uhhh, where were we now? Oh, right, Momo and Sora (and party) action!
Shaun (SRW): Silence. And then Eri barked a laugh. "HAH! This is crazy! 19 year old girls and present company... are here to save the world... This is crazy and yet... Lets do this. Dune's waiting."
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: This pressure... If I can get through this, then anything Scirocco or the Innovades can throw at me will be nothing in comparison. LET'S GO, LADIES!
Zs1: DUNE: You damned PREDESUS! Damn you for even pushing me to this! The world was mine! Despair was mine! You were supposed to be squashed like a fly in my hand!
Zs1: He expresses this squashing by grabbing a colony... NEO-AMERICA, and CRUSHING it in his palm.
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.yourepeat.com/watch?v=byKl2_OM8Xg)http://www.yourepeat.com/watch?v=byKl2_OM8Xg
Camiu (SRW): Kamille: !!!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "NO!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "But... what do we do? I mean... how do we fight something this size?"
Salsa (SRW): And she's promptly stunned into silence by Neo-America ceasing to exist.
Shaun (SRW): Eri: The same way we always do. Combine our powers. If there's power behind it, and the intent to do what's right, we'll solve this. Trust me.
Zs1: [Mad] Graf isn't very happy that you crushed his little lackey. Sucking in through his nose, noticably so as his belly distends, a pillar of plasma-flame spews at the Lambda (react)
Knux (SRW): Hana: "We've made it this far, Sora... you guys had faith in me for reviving the tree... I have faith in you to keep fighting."
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "We... right. We have to. After that, there's no going back. It's all or nothing. All we can do is keep moving forward...!"
Jockey (SRW): "I've fought against invaders in a Getter. You don't have SHIT on THEM!" *Mad makes to dodge the plasma flame and charge right at Graf - Intending to stab him right in the forehead!+
Camiu (SRW): Kamille's body is suddenly seized by SOMETHING, and his comm goes silent
Zs1: [Mad] Graf's huge dragon head follows the Lambda about, though, space does kind of disorient him going from gravity to none, so the flames flicker about more wildly than he'd expect. Even so, they blaze over the Lambda's legs, searing them, welding the feet to the shins as they are. As the blade comes in, Graf goes to counter with foce, headbutting right for the blade anyway. The blade hits, but stops at his thick skull (react)
Camiu (SRW): #Mad
Tenebro (SRW): Momo starts to walk slowly towards DUNE in anger. She slowly raises her TACT as energy surrounds Nocturne. "We have to keep going. No matter how dark it seems, there is always a chance. Always hope." Soon only Nocturne's one open eye can be seen within the pillar of energy that surrounds Nocturne. "And that is why even now we can win against him." Momo kicks Nocturne's thrusters into overdrive, making a mad charge at DUNE. "Shadow...FORTISSIMO!!!" Momo slams her energy enhanced strike full force at DUNE at top speed, pushing as much raw emotion as she can into the strike.&
Jockey (SRW): *Mad jerks at the impact! But lets out a roar as she pushes harder! Intending to pierce through that skull and right into Graf's pitch black brain!+
Zs1: (Support approved, Kamille)
Salsa (SRW): *Without any other real options right now, Sora shakes her head and puts on her game face. "Okay, we've got to do this right! Come on, girls, let's do this!" She drives the Itsuki forward, still working out how the hell they're going to do this. Eventually she settles for trying to shoot it at range, drawing the Itsuki Tambourine she's not yet used and pointing it straight at DUNE. "Okay, let's turn this up! Gold Forte..." A red laser issues from the Tambourine, and in the Itsuki there are a large number of happy-sounding chirps as the unit locks on repeatedly. "...Burst!"
Salsa (SRW): *And with that, dozens of sunflower missiles issue from the yellow unit, drives blazing to life and all heading straight for DUNE in a mass.+
Camiu (SRW): *And just as suddenly, the Zeta starts glowing Red... and White... and Blue!? It heads straight for Graf with the Axe in his hand, not even bothering with the beam as he drives it down on Graf's neck!+ "DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNE!" Kamille's voice is intertwined with some sort of overlap, and it sounds like... President Wilson!? "DO YOU THINK I'D JUST LET YOU DESTROY MY COUNTRY AND LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT!?"
Zs1: [Momo] All that power, all that fury and hope pushed into one attack and it crashes right into DUNE's face. Does he flich? No. Does it leave a mark... yes, actually, like a bad cut from a careless shave. It stings, but, it's far from lethal. It's annoying enough to make him OVERREACT in his frustration. His hand raises, and he grabs the nearest thing he can, Colony 1-9-9, and using that to increase the difficulty of the dodge as his hand, and a colony are shoved down in Momo's general direction (react! HAHA)
Camiu (SRW): Kamille/Wilson: SO LONG AS MY SPIRIT EXISTS, I, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF NEO AMERICA, MICHAEL J**** WILSON (why couldn't we hear his middle name?), WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!
Tenebro (SRW): Momo's eyes widen in in shock as she tries to take evasive action by trying to actually weave between the openings of DUNE's new massive form to try and use his size against him. "Not good, not good, not good!"
Tenebro (SRW): +
Zs1: [Sora] DUNE... does nothing. A tons of tiny specks hitting his neck and chest don't even make him flinch. He's busy crushing Momo right now, what with dropping a colony on a single machine. He does have a free hand though, as he reaches across to slap the hell out of the Itsuki (react)
[Mad/Kamille/(Michael?)] With the sword already going at the beast's skull, the addition of an American powered Biosensor dropping the Axe of Justice down on it's head where it's short little dragon arms can't block create enough of a fracture in it's skull to allow for Mad's beam sword to break down into the grey matter that drives motor functions. Graf's eyes go white as life and functionality drain away...
Shaun (SRW): #Sora
Zs1: [Momo] Fortunately, the shape of that particular colony is more sattelite shaped and easy to get through. The fingers, less so, but just as bad as being hit BY his hand, the wake of the motion, the resulting shockwave of the massive body passing by her rattles the Nocturne so badly that warning are going off all over, leaving the unit barely functioning, but, still operational.
Jockey (SRW): [Mad takes a breath as she tears the blade free of Graf's head... possibly dragging some brain out with it. She doesn't grimace.... though she does have a frown on her face at the grey matter refusing to leave the surface of the weapon as she tried to shake it free.]
Salsa (SRW): Admittedly, Sora panics. Her mind's drawing a blank on what to do here; she's not going to make it if she tries to dodge and a shield isn't going to do it. But... working together...
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Sora got your back!
Knux (SRW): Sora: "It's okay... we're here..."
Zs1: [Mad/Kamille] Not to just let you get away with an epic kill scott free, the last of Graf's consciousness goes into his mouth. A massive bat filling the monster's maw, and with the two of you up over it's head, the head is the first part of it to explode in a great sphere of darkness that takes the legs of BOTH units with it (and worse if you don't react!)
Zs1: (Support... approved?)
Tenebro (SRW): Momo rights herself before cursing under her breath.
Shaun (SRW): *Eri grinned as she routed controls to herself. "Deal with this, Dune!" Pushing the machine into a series of high speed dodges, she drives a double-footed kick right into Dune's face!+
Shaun (SRW): Eri: There's more than one pilot in the Itsuki: there's THREE! And all three of us have our own specialities!
Jockey (SRW): "SHIT!" *And Mad's going to pull away as fast as she could! A urge of vicious anger speeding things up. Graf certainly was a sore loser+
Camiu (SRW): *Kamille/Michael is going to jet away from that ball of blackness within the black with star-spangled verniers OF JUSTICE!+
Zs1: Momo, this is space. There is no "righting" yourself, missy.
*** Colesign (SRW) has joined the conversation.
Zs1: [Eri] DUNE eats a nice kick to the face for lunch, making him turn his head. But slowly it just turns right back with a scowl. Rather than retort physically, DUNE opens his mouth and spits out a beam of energy! GEROBI to the max! (react)
Zs1: (Logically it is now Eri and Hana's turn)
Shaun (SRW): Eri: WHOA!
Jockey (SRW): #Team Desu
Zs1: (Sure, good luck!)
Camiu (SRW): #TEAM DESU
Jockey (SRW): "!! Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me-!" *Mad's gunning the engines- "GEAR WHIP!!" - and letting loose a metal whip at the PreDesu machine to grab at it... deja-vu to when the Ares Gear was totalled would be right here at this point as she does her best to pull them out of the way and increase their safe distance with her velocity!+
Knux (SRW): Hana: "Not this time! I have control!" *No matter what happens, Hana's taken control to boost away from the shot before rocketing upward and unleashing a flurry of energy shots at DUNE+
Zs1: [Mad] The whip wraps around the Itsuki's leg, pulling it a good deal out of range from the beam, however...
[Hana] Somewhat uncoordinated, jerking the Itsuki around yanks the Lambda's arm out of joint. Proceeding with Hana's action, now that efforts have pulled them safely from being mouth-lasered, the shots hit DUNE in the face, which is now starting to bother him, and dirty his face up. Only getting angrier, he persists in the same beam, turning it up towards the Itsuki (react)
Camiu (SRW): #TEAMDESU
Salsa (SRW): # Hana
Jockey (SRW): [Well Brilliant. Everything's messed up now.] "Goddamnit..."
Zs1: (Sorry Kamille, this time it's plot. Defence denied, again :I )
Zs1: (Sora approved though)
*** Colesign (SRW) has left the conversation.
Salsa (SRW): *Sora flicks control back. "I'm taking this back now. And we're getting out of this one alive! Itsuki Aegis Impact!" Sora brings up a sunflower shield in front of the Itsuki and twisting to step on it before pushing off to send the Itsuki one way and the shield toward the beam, hoping she can refract it in another direction... ideally back at DUNE. Either way she's getting out of the way, though.+
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR1VGvZxZCk)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR1VGvZxZCk

Zs1: (Approved)
*** Colesign (SRW) has joined the conversation.
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Think we'll have an opening here?"
Shaun (SRW): *"Hell yeah we do!" Pushing back on the shields, Eri took over as she grabbed her friends hands. Leaving the two shields where they were, she spun the machine up and around, spiraling so that she burst THROUGH the shields, covering the machine in them as the Fortissimo blasted towards Dune, tanking the shot as it were! The trio barreled towards his head to slam right into his face!+
Shaun (SRW): Eri: PREDESU!
Zs1: [Sora] Sadly, that barrier doesn't really refract as she'd like, as the beam strikes poor old Japan, obliterating what little landmass had remained, along with parts of Korea and the entirety of the Yapon Exodus. BUT, at least the Itsuki got out of the way!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "SHINING!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "FORTISSIMO!"
Shaun (SRW): ERI: MAAAAAAAX!
Zs1: [Team Desu] The shining light from the Itsuki's hand smashes into DUNE's face, pushing him, actually moving him over through space and dropping him over onto the Earth, his elbow crushing into Austrailia... not that it makes it look any worse than it did already....
Zs1: [Team Desu] Righting himself, DUNE reaches up and grabs the nearest thing his huge hand can get, AXIS! Pulling on the asteroid colony, he sends it flying down towards the Itsuki (react)
Camiu (SRW): #DESU
Zs1: (Yes yes, finally sir. You may defend against Axis drop. This is not foreshadowing)
Zs1: DUNE: "NOW! HOW! How is it that you can still stand, still fight after loss after loss. And you persist, knowing that the harder you fight, the more lives will be lost for your meaningless hopes!" His hand digs into the earth, tearing a chunk out of the Atlantic Ocean, the lost city of Atlantis being found when it's far too late!
Knux (SRW): Hana: "How? You don't understand. What you may think is meaningless holds more meaning to all of us. Everything we know, everything we hold dear, all of it rides on our hopes. And the biggest part of that is because of our love. Love, hope, happiness, sorrow, regret, despair. They're all part of who we are, but they make us stronger. And right now, the greatest strength I have is the love I have for the people I hold dear!"
Knux (SRW): ((Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYDE7ZfqOlY)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYDE7ZfqOlY)
Zs1: DUNE: "Love? LOVE!?"
Camiu (SRW): *THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA IS GRABBING THAT COLONY BY BOTH HANDS AND IS PUSHING BACK WITH ALL ITS MIGHT! "IF WE JUST GAVE UP AND STOPPED, THAT MEANS THEY WIN! AND I REFUSE TO LET FREEDOM, TRUTH, AND THE AMERICAN DREAM DIE JUST BECAUSE I WAS TOO PATHETIC TO STOP!" Suddenly, that coloration of Red, White, and Blue is changed into Gold! "DON'T THROW A COLONY FILLED WITH NEWTYPES AT THE NEWTYPE, YOU MORON!" The Boosters fucking surge in power, there should be no way this is happening as he throws Axis BACK AT DUNE!+
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "That's right, love! And love for one another... unlocks a wellspring of power." She held out her hand to place it against Hanas. "So if we combine our power..."
Zs1: [Kamille] The power of so many newtypes and Americans support the one single unit pushing back a giant colony asteroid. As it's momemtum stops, and is shoved back, DUNE is standing up and moves aside as Axis is slowly pushed back in his general direction. It'd hurt to HIT him but, relative speed comparison... it just won't, it'll just move AXIS towards and... past it's original point of origin and orbit.
Salsa (SRW): Sora reaches out her hands to the two girls. "...then we're unstoppable! We can take on anything together, because of that love!"
Shaun (SRW): And in a flare of light... the flower of infinite possibility opens...!
Zs1: DUNE thrashes his fists about, not caring where on earth or space they land and hit. "NO! I refuse! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT!
Zs1: (Team Desu! Do an infinite possibility of things!)
Knux (SRW): Hana: "A flower blooming...!"
Shaun (SRW): Eri: "In the depths of space...!
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "Infinite Power... Infinite Love...!"
Shaun (SRW): A light flared brilliantly from the machine as it grew, expanding larger and larger...!
Shaun (SRW): Until it exploded outwards in a shower of petals as a tall woman stood there, who looked somewhat like all three girls combined.

Knux (SRW): Hana: "INFINITY COSMOS!"
Salsa (SRW): Sora: "INFINITY COSMOS!"
Shaun (SRW): Eri: Infinity Cosmos!
*** Steam (SRW mod) has left the conversation.
Knux (SRW): Hana: "DUNE... maybe this'll finally open your eyes... PREDESU! FIIIIIST PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!" *With that, Hana and the Infinity Cosmos strike out, punching DUNE in the chest... at his heart+
Zs1: [Team Desu] The punch is far too fast for him to put his hands in the way and block it, the fit going straight through his chest and out the back.
Zs1: With a heart-shaped hole in his body, the entitiy known as DUNE begins to dissolve, limbs first, then the hole as well, as he turns to cosmic, non-polluting dust.
Zs1: As his body evaporates, the last expression on his face is a smile, his eyes closing, then vanishing into nothingness.
Zs1: The dust left of DUNE scatters about the Earth Sphere, dragging Axis back into place. Piece by piece, Atlantis is restored to it's proper place, both Colony 199 and Neo America are returned to their natural, undamaged positions in the world, not one life missed as everything is restored to it's norm. The greater Japan area is restored to it's former damaged glory before DUNE touched it, as is Australia, though it's not like it ever really looked that amazing to begin with.
Shaun (SRW): Infinity Cosmos: It is done. He will return, but the sorrow that kept him chained up will tie his heart down no longer.
Shaun (SRW): Infinity Cosmos: The rainbow jewel... will never shine as brightly for a long time, much longer than many of your lifetimes. One day, it will be restored. For now, everyone, take a well deserved rest.
Shaun (SRW): (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEv8gfVmASw)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEv8gfVmASw
Zs1: With DUNE done and locked away, and the Earth SPhere returned to it's former existence, not quite peace and harmony, but you know how that goes, the day is saved. Finally, at last, The PreDesus have won the day over Despair.
Zs1: MISSION COMPLETE
