Mission 164: High Seas Justice (part 2)
wyverncakes 10:03 pm
(10:03:06 PM): (For the record, people can also summon their robots now if they want)
aldo salt 10:03 pm
(10:03:22 PM): (Cool!) *"AND YOU STRIVE TOWARDS THE FUTURE!" Matthew attempts to use the purloined spear to stab a Shadow Knight sneaking up!+
wyverncakes 10:04 pm
(10:04:39 PM): [Matthew] And that spear thrusts forward, impaling the Shadow Knight! But... it seems that the knight, and several others, are just plain tired of picking on people their own sizes as they begin to grow bigger and taller... and suddenly that wound you gave the knight is looking pretty dinky, Matthew! And instead it's just going to lift its foot up and try to crush you!
(10:04:42 PM): (React: Matthew)
Aero 10:05 pm
(10:05:37 PM): * Once again Kurou forms Barzai to attack the Shadow Gunner. This time though he just tosses it like a boomerang at him. +

frifreeman 10:06 pm
(10:06:29 PM): Elena pants heavily as she enters her Aries, blood dripping from her hand and foot.
wyverncakes 10:06 pm
(10:06:37 PM): (Gonna nix that Raynor. You've got your own problems to worry with. Because...)
frifreeman 10:07 pm
(10:07:06 PM): She wipes her hand on her cheek, panting heavily, and slathering her face with blood.
(10:07:11 PM): "This... is exciting"
tengusaur 10:07 pm
(10:07:11 PM): Raynor: "Ayame! How many hostages are left on the ship?!"
aldo salt 10:07 pm
(10:07:12 PM): "…Stravag!" Matthew stares up at the incoming foot! "Star Captain Ayame! Deploy the Juaggu! Deploy it now!!!" *RunRunRunRun! And DIVE off the ship and into the water!+
wyverncakes 10:08 pm
(10:08:15 PM): [Raynor] As the hostages flee... suddenly the Champion charges at you again, this time flanked by two more Shadow Knights pulling out more crossbows! "... And I assume the music will be following?" the Champion asks. "Well then, only if you survive!' And the Champion then plants his sword in the ground as a sudden, massive BLAST OF ENERGY is unleashed at you! And those crossbow-wielders are poised to shoot at you should you dodge to the left or the right!

drascin 10:09 pm
(10:09:24 PM): (just wanted to remove the crossbowers so you could focus on the boss)
wyverncakes 10:09 pm
(10:09:55 PM): [Kurou] And the Scimitar tears through the Gunner's weapon just as he is able to recover it! The Shadow Knight definitely seems to be horrified by this turnabout as he suddenly turns to face Kurou, holding up his giant hands as in a sign of surrender. "H-hey... alright. you win, okay?"
(10:10:05 PM): Kurou, do you accept his surrender: y/n?
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:18 PM): (Elena, if you want to act now that you're in your Aries, you can)
(10:11:15 PM): [Matthew] Unfortunately, as the spear's holder finally ceases to be, the spear vanishes from your grasp. But you've got more things to worry about, like a big, stompy Shadow Knight! But fortunately the Juagg is launched from the shuttle a few meters in front of you, all prepped and just needing a pilot!
(10:11:24 PM): (React/Continue: Matthew)
tengusaur 10:11 pm
(10:11:25 PM): * The incoming blast hits Paragon straight-on! But what it collides is not the robot itself...
drascin 10:11 pm
(10:11:44 PM): *Seeing that everyone is off the ship, Pit starts running near the hole
Pit:"Lady Palutena! Send me Cherubot, fast!"
Palutena: "Of course. Here it goes!"
And suddenly theres a twinkle in the sky and a noise as the multiple tons of orichalcum of Cherubot fall from the sky right on top of one the crossbowers!
Pit: ...that wasn't very fair.
Palutena: no it wasn't. But neither are them, right?+
tengusaur 10:12 pm
(10:12:24 PM): * Suddenly, a big shield appears on Paragon's armor, marked with the same sign as the Tome of Wisdom! This shield Raynor puts between himself and the incoming blast, hiding Paragon completely behind it!
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:30 PM): Champion: "So he chose the quicker death... I don't blame hi What?!?"
tengusaur 10:12 pm
(10:12:34 PM): Paragon that is no longer red...
drascin 10:12 pm

(10:13:13 PM): And at the same time, music starts to blast from Paragon's speakers and the ship's PA system!
wyverncakes 10:13 pm
(10:13:18 PM): [Pit and technically Raynor too] And the Cherubot fortunately manages to flatten one of the Shadow Knights, ACME-style!

Mister Giggles 10:14 pm
(10:14:13 PM): Casshern actually looks impressed by this form.
tengusaur 10:14 pm
(10:14:14 PM): First, the shield, repelling the shadowy blast back, and then the rest of the machine!
aldo salt 10:14 pm

wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:31 PM): Champion: "... A new form."
tengusaur 10:14 pm
(10:14:56 PM): *Raynor raises his sword, causing a huge pillar of golden light to burst up into the sky! And then fall down in several smaller pillars at his attackers!+
(10:15:06 PM): Raynor: "Hooooooly THUNDERFOOOOORCE!!"
Aero 10:15 pm
(10:15:24 PM): * Big NO on that one. He sealed his fate the moment he pointed his gun at the hostages. "No, I'm not even close to being done with you." Once the Scimitar returned to him Kurou just charged forward to run the Gunner through with it. +
drascin 10:15 pm
(10:15:51 PM): Pit: ...that actually looks pretty cool
(10:16:09 PM): (Pit is jelly of the paladin mech. Raise your hand if you're surprised)

frifreeman 10:17 pm
(10:17:08 PM): Elena: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall~
wyverncakes 10:17 pm
(10:17:19 PM): [Raynor] And with that music, the Shadow Champion and the other Knight are caught in the pillars of destructive energy! The Champion can only barely hold on, using his swords to protect himself, but the Knight has no such luck and is entirely blown away! And now at this point, the Champion is looking pretty beat up himself!
frifreeman 10:17 pm
(10:17:22 PM): Elena: Hey, can the ship be destroyed now?
wyverncakes 10:17 pm
(10:17:54 PM): Ayame: "I'm sure we can return it to the owners for a reward if it's kept relatively intact."
frifreeman 10:18 pm
(10:18:20 PM): Elena: Good that I didn't use missiles then
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:25 PM): And in the wake of the music being blared, the remaining Knights grow to their giant size! They need every advantage they can get right now!
drascin 10:18 pm
(10:18:27 PM): Pit: ...this girl is like, REALLY creepy.
Palutena: You get used to crazy humans in the end, don't worry
Pit: I don't WANT to get used to that!
wyverncakes 10:18 pm
(10:18:57 PM): (Headcount: Shadow Champion (injured), Shadow Knights x 8, Shadow Gunner (though this might change depending on Kurou's actions))
Aero 10:19 pm

tengusaur 10:19 pm
(10:19:14 PM): Raynor: "As long as the music keeps playing they're vulnerable! Go forth friends, they won't stop us now!"
Mister Giggles 10:19 pm
(10:19:16 PM): Casshern turns to the remaining knights. Well, now that the hostages are safe... he doesn't need to be afraid for their sake. He charges into the remaining knights, aiming to spear one of them with his arm.
wyverncakes 10:19 pm
(10:19:23 PM): (Yeah, was just about to get to it)
drascin 10:19 pm
(10:19:32 PM): Pit: Got it, Raynor!
wyverncakes 10:21 pm
(10:21:00 PM): [Kurou] And as the scimitar impales the Gunner, he cries out in agony from the blow! But... the Knight can't help but chuckle a little in his last moments as his fingertips suddenly reach up, pointing at Demonbane's head. "H-heh... at least you're... close enough for me to try this." And suddenly all ten open fire on the Deus Machina's head, unleashing a tremendous amount of dakka on the machine!
(10:21:09 PM): (Kurou can react to this if he wants)
aldo salt 10:21 pm
(10:21:19 PM): #Kurou?
Aero 10:21 pm
(10:21:21 PM): (Still on foot)
wyverncakes 10:21 pm
(10:21:40 PM): (Gah, sorry. Forgot. You've still got finger blasts shooting at you though.)
drascin 10:22 pm
(10:22:00 PM): *Pit revs up his cannon.
Pit: "You're finished! Creatures of the dark, in the name of the Goddess of Light Palutena, I shall destroy you!"
And he trains his cannon in a barrage at the two nearest shadow Knights, dark slaying Arrows of Light spewing forth in a wall of fully automatic cleansing+
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:43 PM): [Elena] Your strafing run does manage to catch a few of the Shadow Knights, but now that they're bigger they're taking a lot less damage from the chainguns! And for that matter, one lashes out with a morning star to smash your Aries to pieces!
drascin 10:22 pm
(10:22:46 PM): (someone tell Pit shouting is no longer necessary. He's still in loud mode)
wyverncakes 10:22 pm

aldo salt 10:24 pm
(10:24:05 PM): "Reactor Online…" Matthew mutters as his hands dance over the control, cockpit sealing up. "Sensors…" He sees Kurou" *"Stravag! Hydrojets, activate!"
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:05 PM): [Pit] And one of the Knights... pulls a dick move and hides behind the other! That unlucky bastard gets Arrow'd to death by you, but the surviving Knight subsequently kicks his fallen comrade at your machine before charging to cut you down!

wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:00 PM): [Matthew] Your hydrojets fire up and your machine gets poised to attack... you're probably not going to get there in time to help protect Kurou but you'll at least be able to finish the job!
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:08 PM): (Continue/finish: Matthew)
Aero 10:26 pm
(10:26:11 PM): * Well then he's going to pull out his Scimitar in the most painful way possible before releasing his grip on it. The Scimitar then began to spin by itself before placing itself in the way of the shots fired at Kurou. +
aldo salt 10:26 pm
(10:26:15 PM): Then! With a rush of spray as Matthew revs the throttle&
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:58 PM): [Elena] And fortunately a mace has a much more limited range than guns or missiles! The Aries evades, left shuddering a bit from the near-hit but otherwise fine!
aldo salt 10:27 pm
(10:27:23 PM): The Juaggu 'leaps' out of the ocean like a graceful whale, Particle Cannons firing at full as he bellyflops into the crowd of Shadow Knights!!!+
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:38 PM): (Matthew's not attacking the Gunner then?)
aldo salt 10:27 pm
(10:27:53 PM): (Whoops. Read wrong!)
drascin 10:27 pm
(10:27:59 PM): *Cherubot is much less agile than Pit. It is, however, very tough. So knowing he can't really dodge, Pit is instead going to block with the orichalcum wrecking ball in his left arm...
Pit: "Ha!"
...and while they're locked like that, activate the energy pulse in Cherubot's chest, sending a powerful shockwave out! The poor boat...+
wyverncakes 10:28 pm
(10:28:07 PM): (It's okay.)
frifreeman 10:28 pm
(10:28:11 PM): Elena: A whale-bot
aldo salt 10:28 pm
(10:28:13 PM): The Juaggu 'leaps' out of the ocean like a graceful whale, Particle Cannons firing at full as he bellyflops into the Gunner!+
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:07 PM): [Matthew and Kurou] A few of the Gunner's finger shots do get off before the Scimitar of Barzai can begin its defense, but all they do is whiff by you and maybe catch a few strands of your hair Acceptable losses, all things considered, as the dying Gunner is then blown apart by the Juaggu!
aldo salt 10:29 pm
(10:29:57 PM): In the meantime, the Juaggu is souring over Kurou's head, like Free Willy! And like Free Willy, it is coming down hard! "Stravag!!!!" Matthew yells.
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:14 PM): [Casshern] The Knights have a massive size advantage over you now, but you're still a wrecking machine in your own right! As your hand impales the head of one of the giants however, its hand reaches up, smashing you against the rest of its form! And then from there it just keeps pressing, to ideally crush you!
(10:31:20 PM): (React: Matthew)
tengusaur 10:31 pm
(10:31:33 PM): (you mean Casshern)
wyverncakes 10:31 pm

tengusaur 10:31 pm

colesign@gmail.com has left the room. 10:33 pm
colesign@gmail.com has entered the room. 10:33 pm
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:50 PM): [Pit] The wrecking ball intercepts the fallend Shadow Knight, but it gets knocked away! And when your shockwave is unleashed, it catches the other attacking Shadow Knight... tearing into its armor and ruining its weapons... but it keeps coming at you though, settling on delivering a powerful haymaker that floors the Cherubot!
Aero 10:34 pm
(10:34:08 PM): #?
wyverncakes 10:34 pm
(10:34:58 PM): (It was just the resolution of the action. Nothing to support)
Mister Giggles 10:35 pm
(10:35:03 PM): Casshern does indeed look as if he's about to be crushed. But just as he feels his metallic skeleton starting to creak under the pressure, his eyes begin lightning up. His facemask closes, and suddenly, Casshern's strength begins increasingly rapidly. His body contorts, bending backwards, aiming to kick the side of the knight's knee, so that he can escape out from under it. (Casshern's berserk mode has activated.)
wyverncakes 10:35 pm
(10:35:30 PM): (Casshern, the knight you're fighting is giant. It could hold you in the palm of its hand)
tengusaur 10:35 pm
(10:35:51 PM): Raynor: "Let's finish them! We can do it, my friends!"
(10:35:58 PM): After the previous song finishes, another one starts!
(10:35:58 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtpJ7DXwGmA
(10:36:06 PM): * Two beams fire from Paragon's eyes at its sword, setting it on golden fire... Or rather, on even more intensive fire! Raynor charges towards the Shadow Champion, smashing into him with his shield, which flashes with blinding light at the same time, and then follows up with a powerful slash from above the shoulder, the golden flames around the sword making it appear twice as big as it is normally!+
(10:36:15 PM): Raynor: "Smite EEEEEEEEVIL!!"
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:12 PM): [Raynor] The Champion's knocked back by the impact and can barely find the time to reform its bigger, singular sword in time to match the attack... one that actually strikes through the Champion's own blade and sever one of its arms! The shadow being falls to the ground, having struggle standing up at this point... but his determination is still evident as he charges forward enough to ram Paragon and knock it back!
drascin 10:38 pm
(10:38:14 PM): Pit: "Oof!" Cherubot is knocked back by the slam, and Pit need to lose a few seconds to regain its balance again.
Palutena: "That was remarkably well played. Cold, and probably not very useful in the long run, but well played"
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:42 PM): (While we're waiting on Kurou, Matthew and Elena)
tengusaur 10:39 pm
(10:39:13 PM): Raynor: "Give up. Surrender and you'll be spared."
Mister Giggles 10:39 pm
(10:39:41 PM): (Oh. Okay.)
aldo salt 10:40 pm
(10:40:19 PM): Matthew picks up his Juaggu from the dent he inflict upon the cruise ship, planting his stubby feet firmly, raising his rocket cannons to cover the remaining Shadow Knights. "Aff! Surrender, and by the honor of Kerensky, we offer you hegira!"
wyverncakes 10:40 pm
(10:40:24 PM): The Shadow Champion doesn't look like he's in the mood to surrender... and the same can be said about the knights!
(10:40:36 PM): "... Death is no obstacle to us."
Mister Giggles 10:40 pm
(10:40:51 PM): Casshern does indeed look as if he's about to be crushed. But just as he feels his metallic skeleton starting to creak under the pressure, his eyes begin lightning up. His facemask closes, and suddenly, Casshern's strength begins increasingly rapidly. His body contorts, and using what little wiggle room he has, he tries to resist the crushing. But with something this huge, even he's going to need help...
tengusaur 10:41 pm
(10:41:07 PM): Raynor: "So be it."
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:22 PM): "When does a shadow cease to be? When there is light shining on it. And as soon as that light ceases, it returns."
aldo salt 10:41 pm
(10:41:22 PM): "Then you are truly worthy to become our foes!" Matthew replies! "Withdraw then, with your honor unstained, that we may fight gloriously another day!"
Aero 10:41 pm
(10:41:40 PM): * "This isn't the time to be complimenting them." Retrieving the Scimitar he once again tosses it out, setting it on a path to both free Casshern and fly into the back of the Shadow Knight attacking Pit.+
wyverncakes 10:41 pm

(10:42:05 PM): (Oh derp. Kurou's action)
drascin 10:42 pm

Mister Giggles 10:42 pm

wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:40 PM): (Yes)
aldo salt 10:42 pm

drascin 10:42 pm
(10:42:58 PM): (then) #Casshern
wyverncakes 10:43 pm
(10:43:51 PM): [Kurou and Casshern] Casshern! Just as it seems that even your berserker Strength has failed you... the entire limb that was pressing you down is cut clean off by the Scimitar! You're free now... and that Scimitar subsequently runs through the unarmored Knight that had been going after the Cherubot as well!
frifreeman 10:43 pm
(10:43:58 PM): Elena: Hey, they said we shouldn't destroy the ship!
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:15 PM): (Pit can support defend/attack with Casshern at this moment)
Mister Giggles 10:45 pm
(10:45:25 PM): Casshern, finally free, obviously thinks that thing that was about to crush him is the biggest threat. Already the auto-repair machines begin to work on his body, and he leaps into the air, trying to gore the colossus that was just about to kill him with his hands.
drascin 10:45 pm
(10:45:26 PM): (well, support defend seems unnecessary now, since Casshern is no longer under attack :P )
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:26 PM): [Matthew] And as you attack that Shadow Knight... it hurls its shield at you like a discus, aiming to smash apart your machine! Your gunfire still gets it killed... but another's moving in to continue where the first left off its morningstar at you too!
(10:45:36 PM): (React: Matthew)
(10:45:46 PM): (The options there if you two want it though.)
drascin 10:46 pm
(10:46:13 PM): (nah. I'll save the support for a support offense when he attacks)
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:44 PM): (Alright)
(10:46:51 PM): (Speaking of which, Casshern and Pit can act now anyways!)
aldo salt 10:47 pm
(10:47:52 PM): *Matthew attempts to sidestep the captain america attack with the Juaggu's stubby feet, turning it's body to the side like a master fencer to let the shield fly by. He lifts up his right arm at the morningstar equiped Shadow Knight and opens fire on full auto!+
Mister Giggles 10:48 pm
(10:48:59 PM): (See: Previous action.)
wyverncakes 10:49 pm
(10:49:32 PM): [Matthew] Your twist to evade the shield is undermined by those stubby little feet though... and the Juaggu gets a BIG gash torn in its main body... but it can keep on fighting! And your autocannon lets loose on the other knight, finishing it off as well as its morningstar whiffs you thanks to that previous defense!
wyverncakes 10:50 pm
(10:50:13 PM): [Casshern] You've got a LOT of knight to rip and tear through, and even if it's missing a hand the knight can still go down on its knees and try to smash you against the deck of the ship!
(10:50:16 PM): (React: Casshern)
drascin 10:50 pm
(10:50:18 PM): Palutena: Pit! To your left!
Pit: On it!
(10:50:20 PM): *Taking advantage of the fact that Kurou got the annoying guy off him, Pit hits thrusters and jumps to the left, finding a couple more of the remaining Shadow Knights, aiming at them... and suddenly shooting his ball and chain at one of them! It was a feint! The ball coils around the leg of the one on the right, and Pit pulls with all the divine strength of Cherubot, tossing him around, and spinning him... right into the other guy with a powerful crash!+
tengusaur 10:50 pm

wyverncakes 10:50 pm

tengusaur 10:51 pm
(10:51:32 PM): * "Haaa....!" Raynor is too far away to move in, but what he can do is throw his shield, to embed it into the deck of the ship between Casshern and the Shadow Knight attacking him!+
wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(10:52:15 PM): [Pit] The feint works great! The two Knights are taken by surprise and crash together... but they're still not finished off yet! And it's then that they grab the chain of your weapon and pull hard. REALLY hard! Enough that the Cherubot is sent hurtling towards them as they ready their sword to impale you with!
drascin 10:53 pm
(10:53:05 PM): Pit: Whoa!
Palutena: Think fast!
frifreeman 10:53 pm
(10:53:14 PM): Blood dripping from her wounds, Elena closes toward one of the shadow knights from afar while showering it with chaingun bullets, before slashing with her vibrating knife.

(10:55:11 PM): BUT!

drascin 10:56 pm
(10:56:24 PM): *And think fast he does! Right as Cherubot is about to slam into the spears, Pit hits the thrusters, helping the inertia slam into them. Why? Because using it he jumps off the cockpit right atop the head of one of them, a light hammer the size of a van suddenly appearing in his hands!
Pit: LEAVE MY ROBOT ALONE!
And he smashes down the Shadow Knight's head with a brutal two-handed strike+
wyverncakes 10:56 pm

tengusaur 10:56 pm

aldo salt 10:56 pm

wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:25 PM): [Casshern] Casshern! As your body is about to be smashified once again, suddenly it's stopped! Paragon's shield has held the Knight in place for you and giving you this last opportunity to finish the job!
frifreeman 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): Elena: Yes... We could've just pepper them from afar, but that wouldn't be fun, right Mikail?
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:55 PM): [Pit and Matthew] The poor Cherubot gets run through by the weapons... but the Shadow Knights don't have any chance to celebrate! Not when Pit and Matthew double-team the two tangled-up Knights! Matthew's is blown apart by the power of the chest particle cannons... whereas Pit's foe has his head smashed into nothing by the van-sized hammer!
Mister Giggles 10:59 pm
(10:59:36 PM): Casshern, now free of reprisal, is now going to try to bore his way into the Knight's body, and start ripping it to pieces from the inside if this spectacularly brutal tactic works.

But this was the last chance you were getting, and it's also the last one you needed! With a lot of the knight already mauled up fierce, this last push is all it takes for you to finish him off!
aldo salt 11:02 pm

frifreeman 11:03 pm

wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:47 PM): [Elena] And fortunately, even up-close, the Aries is able to deftly evade the slash! The hammer smashes through more of the deck though... Not that anyone has need to care

wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:39 PM): With the Shadow Knight's ranks now almost nonexistent, the Champion can be seen steeling itself for the last attack against Raynor!
drascin 11:04 pm
(11:04:44 PM): Pit, on his end, backflips into Cherubot's cockpit again. "Hah! Take that! Nobody hurts Cherubot and goes off free!" And he's going to return the high five with a multi-ton wrecking ball, a bit less carefully because he's kind of super-excited into battle right now
wyverncakes 11:05 pm

wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:44 PM): [Raynor] And with that, the Shadow Champion charges at full speed, brandishing its damaged blade as best as it can before the two halves split open and a beam of energy is unleashed in a cutting motion to shop you down!

aldo salt 11:07 pm

tengusaur 11:07 pm

tengusaur 11:08 pm
(11:08:51 PM): The shield, thrown away and battered, disappears, and the sword in Paragon's hand reforms itself into a huge-ass gatling gun as the whole machine changes color!

(11:10:44 PM): * Instead of dodging, Raynor braces against the deck, revvs up the huge gatling gun, and fires a long, continuous burst, sending empty shells flying everywhere! The purpose of this burst is to clear up the incoming blast of energy...
aldo salt 11:11 pm
(11:11:05 PM): Matthew does a very difficult gesture with his undamaged rocket arm, pointing it towards his mono-eye, and then towards Pit. He watches your every move, dezgra angel.
drascin 11:11 pm
(11:11:38 PM): *And so, a bit more sullen, Pit turns from the fight and towards the last remaining shadow knight. Cherubot's a bit banged up, but still mostly okay - still, better to not pull off any weird maneuvers right now. So instead he's going to lead up with a spinning ball to force the knight to dodge to the left... right into the cone of fire of a charged burst of light!"
tengusaur 11:11 pm
(11:11:47 PM): Because at the same time, quiet PING PING PING sounds can be heard as the Tinker's targetting systems lock on! Hatches open at its back, and a dozen guided missiles shoots, flying at the Shadow Champion! +
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:50 PM): [Pit] At this point in time, Cherubot's still pretty banged up. But it still has more than enough to get the task done! The Shadow Knight flees and ends up falling right into your intended attack, getting blown away at long last!
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:22 PM): [Raynor] And meanwhile... the Champion's own attack is stopped cold by Tinker form's dakka... just before all those missiles are unleashed on him! And with the end certainly present, the Champion just seems to nod his head slightly at the inevitable. "... We shall see how long you can keep this world from the shadows. Paragon."
(11:14:37 PM): Not even a moment later, and the Champion is hammered by the missiles and finally done away with

wyverncakes 11:15 pm

frifreeman 11:22 pm

aldo salt 10:03 pm

wyverncakes 10:04 pm
(10:04:39 PM): [Matthew] And that spear thrusts forward, impaling the Shadow Knight! But... it seems that the knight, and several others, are just plain tired of picking on people their own sizes as they begin to grow bigger and taller... and suddenly that wound you gave the knight is looking pretty dinky, Matthew! And instead it's just going to lift its foot up and try to crush you!

tengusaur 10:07 pm

aldo salt 10:07 pm

wyverncakes 10:08 pm

And I assume the music will be following?" the Champion asks. "Well then, only if you survive!' And the Champion then plants his sword in the ground as a sudden, massive BLAST OF ENERGY is unleashed at you! And those crossbow-wielders are poised to shoot at you should you dodge to the left or the right!

wyverncakes 10:09 pm

The Shadow Knight definitely seems to be horrified by this turnabout as he suddenly turns to face Kurou, holding up his giant hands as in a sign of surrender. "H-hey... alright. you win, okay?"
(10:10:05 PM): Kurou, do you accept his surrender: y/n?
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:18 PM): (Elena, if you want to act now that you're in your Aries, you can)
(10:11:15 PM): [Matthew] Unfortunately, as the spear's holder finally ceases to be, the spear vanishes from your grasp. But you've got more things to worry about, like a big, stompy Shadow Knight! But fortunately the Juagg is launched from the shuttle a few meters in front of you, all prepped and just needing a pilot!

Pit:"Lady Palutena! Send me Cherubot, fast!"
Palutena: "Of course. Here it goes!"
And suddenly theres a twinkle in the sky and a noise as the multiple tons of orichalcum of Cherubot fall from the sky right on top of one the crossbowers!
Pit: ...that wasn't very fair.
Palutena: no it wasn't. But neither are them, right?+
tengusaur 10:12 pm

The Champion can only barely hold on, using his swords to protect himself, but the Knight has no such luck and is entirely blown away! And now at this point, the Champion is looking pretty beat up himself!

But... the Knight can't help but chuckle a little in his last moments as his fingertips suddenly reach up, pointing at Demonbane's head. "H-heh... at least you're... close enough for me to try this." And suddenly all ten open fire on the Deus Machina's head, unleashing a tremendous amount of dakka on the machine!

(10:35:30 PM): (Casshern, the knight you're fighting is giant. It could hold you in the palm of its hand)
tengusaur 10:35 pm
(10:35:51 PM): Raynor: "Let's finish them! We can do it, my friends!"
(10:35:58 PM): After the previous song finishes, another one starts!
(10:35:58 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtpJ7DXwGmA
(10:36:06 PM): * Two beams fire from Paragon's eyes at its sword, setting it on golden fire... Or rather, on even more intensive fire! Raynor charges towards the Shadow Champion, smashing into him with his shield, which flashes with blinding light at the same time, and then follows up with a powerful slash from above the shoulder, the golden flames around the sword making it appear twice as big as it is normally!+
(10:36:15 PM): Raynor: "Smite EEEEEEEEVIL!!"
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:12 PM): [Raynor] The Champion's knocked back by the impact and can barely find the time to reform its bigger, singular sword in time to match the attack... one that actually strikes through the Champion's own blade and sever one of its arms! The shadow being falls to the ground, having struggle standing up at this point... but his determination is still evident as he charges forward enough to ram Paragon and knock it back!
drascin 10:38 pm
(10:38:14 PM): Pit: "Oof!" Cherubot is knocked back by the slam, and Pit need to lose a few seconds to regain its balance again.
Palutena: "That was remarkably well played. Cold, and probably not very useful in the long run, but well played"
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:42 PM): (While we're waiting on Kurou, Matthew and Elena)
tengusaur 10:39 pm
(10:39:13 PM): Raynor: "Give up. Surrender and you'll be spared."
Mister Giggles 10:39 pm
(10:39:41 PM): (Oh. Okay.)
aldo salt 10:40 pm
(10:40:19 PM): Matthew picks up his Juaggu from the dent he inflict upon the cruise ship, planting his stubby feet firmly, raising his rocket cannons to cover the remaining Shadow Knights. "Aff! Surrender, and by the honor of Kerensky, we offer you hegira!"
wyverncakes 10:40 pm
(10:40:24 PM): The Shadow Champion doesn't look like he's in the mood to surrender... and the same can be said about the knights!
(10:40:36 PM): "... Death is no obstacle to us."
Mister Giggles 10:40 pm
(10:40:51 PM): Casshern does indeed look as if he's about to be crushed. But just as he feels his metallic skeleton starting to creak under the pressure, his eyes begin lightning up. His facemask closes, and suddenly, Casshern's strength begins increasingly rapidly. His body contorts, and using what little wiggle room he has, he tries to resist the crushing. But with something this huge, even he's going to need help...
tengusaur 10:41 pm
(10:41:07 PM): Raynor: "So be it."
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:22 PM): "When does a shadow cease to be? When there is light shining on it. And as soon as that light ceases, it returns."
aldo salt 10:41 pm
(10:41:22 PM): "Then you are truly worthy to become our foes!" Matthew replies! "Withdraw then, with your honor unstained, that we may fight gloriously another day!"
Aero 10:41 pm
(10:41:40 PM): * "This isn't the time to be complimenting them." Retrieving the Scimitar he once again tosses it out, setting it on a path to both free Casshern and fly into the back of the Shadow Knight attacking Pit.+
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:42 PM): (Requesting a support defend then for Casshern?)
(10:42:05 PM): (Oh derp. Kurou's action)
drascin 10:42 pm
(10:42:30 PM): (can I take the breather Kurou's action will give me to give a support to Casshern?)
Mister Giggles 10:42 pm
(10:42:36 PM): (Yep.)
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:40 PM): (Yes)
aldo salt 10:42 pm
(10:42:46 PM): "THERE IS ALWAYS TIME TO COMPLIMENT A WORTHY FOE!" Matthew shouts. *He opens fire with his rocket cannons, peppering the Shadow Knight advancing on him and the others!"+
drascin 10:42 pm
(10:42:58 PM): (then) #Casshern
wyverncakes 10:43 pm
(10:43:51 PM): [Kurou and Casshern] Casshern! Just as it seems that even your berserker Strength has failed you... the entire limb that was pressing you down is cut clean off by the Scimitar! You're free now... and that Scimitar subsequently runs through the unarmored Knight that had been going after the Cherubot as well!
frifreeman 10:43 pm
(10:43:58 PM): Elena: Hey, they said we shouldn't destroy the ship!
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:15 PM): (Pit can support defend/attack with Casshern at this moment)
Mister Giggles 10:45 pm
(10:45:25 PM): Casshern, finally free, obviously thinks that thing that was about to crush him is the biggest threat. Already the auto-repair machines begin to work on his body, and he leaps into the air, trying to gore the colossus that was just about to kill him with his hands.
drascin 10:45 pm
(10:45:26 PM): (well, support defend seems unnecessary now, since Casshern is no longer under attack :P )
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:26 PM): [Matthew] And as you attack that Shadow Knight... it hurls its shield at you like a discus, aiming to smash apart your machine! Your gunfire still gets it killed... but another's moving in to continue where the first left off its morningstar at you too!
(10:45:36 PM): (React: Matthew)
(10:45:46 PM): (The options there if you two want it though.)
drascin 10:46 pm
(10:46:13 PM): (nah. I'll save the support for a support offense when he attacks)
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:44 PM): (Alright)
(10:46:51 PM): (Speaking of which, Casshern and Pit can act now anyways!)
aldo salt 10:47 pm
(10:47:52 PM): *Matthew attempts to sidestep the captain america attack with the Juaggu's stubby feet, turning it's body to the side like a master fencer to let the shield fly by. He lifts up his right arm at the morningstar equiped Shadow Knight and opens fire on full auto!+
Mister Giggles 10:48 pm
(10:48:59 PM): (See: Previous action.)
wyverncakes 10:49 pm
(10:49:32 PM): [Matthew] Your twist to evade the shield is undermined by those stubby little feet though... and the Juaggu gets a BIG gash torn in its main body... but it can keep on fighting! And your autocannon lets loose on the other knight, finishing it off as well as its morningstar whiffs you thanks to that previous defense!
wyverncakes 10:50 pm
(10:50:13 PM): [Casshern] You've got a LOT of knight to rip and tear through, and even if it's missing a hand the knight can still go down on its knees and try to smash you against the deck of the ship!
(10:50:16 PM): (React: Casshern)
drascin 10:50 pm
(10:50:18 PM): Palutena: Pit! To your left!
Pit: On it!
(10:50:20 PM): *Taking advantage of the fact that Kurou got the annoying guy off him, Pit hits thrusters and jumps to the left, finding a couple more of the remaining Shadow Knights, aiming at them... and suddenly shooting his ball and chain at one of them! It was a feint! The ball coils around the leg of the one on the right, and Pit pulls with all the divine strength of Cherubot, tossing him around, and spinning him... right into the other guy with a powerful crash!+
tengusaur 10:50 pm
(10:50:36 PM): # Casshern
wyverncakes 10:50 pm
(10:50:48 PM): (Approved)
tengusaur 10:51 pm
(10:51:32 PM): * "Haaa....!" Raynor is too far away to move in, but what he can do is throw his shield, to embed it into the deck of the ship between Casshern and the Shadow Knight attacking him!+
wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(10:52:15 PM): [Pit] The feint works great! The two Knights are taken by surprise and crash together... but they're still not finished off yet! And it's then that they grab the chain of your weapon and pull hard. REALLY hard! Enough that the Cherubot is sent hurtling towards them as they ready their sword to impale you with!
drascin 10:53 pm
(10:53:05 PM): Pit: Whoa!
Palutena: Think fast!
frifreeman 10:53 pm
(10:53:14 PM): Blood dripping from her wounds, Elena closes toward one of the shadow knights from afar while showering it with chaingun bullets, before slashing with her vibrating knife.
(10:53:15 PM): +
aldo salt 10:54 pm
(10:54:16 PM): #Pit?
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:29 PM): (I'm cool with that)
(10:55:06 PM): [Elena] And your chaingun bullets hammer the knight, doing a bit of damage but also managing to keep it in place before you cut through its form with your knife!
(10:55:11 PM): BUT!
(10:55:50 PM): [Elena cont.] Now that you're in close range, one of the last remaining Shadow Knights jumps the Aries, intent on smashing it to bits with a war hammer!
(10:55:52 PM): (React: Elena)
tengusaur 10:56 pm
(10:56:09 PM): # if possible
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:15 PM): (For the record, aside of Champion, four Shadow Knights remain. The one attacking Casshern, the two Pit are tangled up with, and the one Elena's dealing with)
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:21 PM): (You already defended Pit just a moment ago)
(10:56:22 PM): (Err
drascin 10:56 pm
(10:56:24 PM): *And think fast he does! Right as Cherubot is about to slam into the spears, Pit hits the thrusters, helping the inertia slam into them. Why? Because using it he jumps off the cockpit right atop the head of one of them, a light hammer the size of a van suddenly appearing in his hands!
Pit: LEAVE MY ROBOT ALONE!
And he smashes down the Shadow Knight's head with a brutal two-handed strike+
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:25 PM): (Casshern)
tengusaur 10:56 pm
(10:56:26 PM): (okay then)
aldo salt 10:56 pm
(10:56:59 PM): *Matthew revvs the throttle on his Juagga and charges, hopping over the cruise liner and ramming the Shadow Knights attempting to skewer cherubot, firing the chest particle cannons before impacting!+
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:25 PM): [Casshern] Casshern! As your body is about to be smashified once again, suddenly it's stopped! Paragon's shield has held the Knight in place for you and giving you this last opportunity to finish the job!
frifreeman 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): Elena: Yes... We could've just pepper them from afar, but that wouldn't be fun, right Mikail?
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:55 PM): [Pit and Matthew] The poor Cherubot gets run through by the weapons... but the Shadow Knights don't have any chance to celebrate! Not when Pit and Matthew double-team the two tangled-up Knights! Matthew's is blown apart by the power of the chest particle cannons... whereas Pit's foe has his head smashed into nothing by the van-sized hammer!
Mister Giggles 10:59 pm
(10:59:36 PM): Casshern, now free of reprisal, is now going to try to bore his way into the Knight's body, and start ripping it to pieces from the inside if this spectacularly brutal tactic works.
frifreeman has left the room. 11:00 pm
frifreeman has entered the room. 11:00 pm
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:53 PM): [Casshern] In another life you were probably a giant lion robot and piloted by a 30 year old man who looks sorta like Ali, Casshern. Just saying. But this was the last chance you were getting, and it's also the last one you needed! With a lot of the knight already mauled up fierce, this last push is all it takes for you to finish him off!
aldo salt 11:02 pm
(11:02:38 PM): "Ha-hah! Sons and daughter of the blood legacy, inspire me as I sing a portrait of the apocalypse!" Matthew attempt to high-five cherbubot…with the flat of his rocket arm!…Gently…ish.
frifreeman 11:03 pm
(11:03:05 PM): Elena waits until the last second, before nimbly spinning aside, as if dancing around the hammer.+
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:47 PM): [Elena] And fortunately, even up-close, the Aries is able to deftly evade the slash! The hammer smashes through more of the deck though... Not that anyone has need to care
(11:04:09 PM): (For the record: anyone who wants the free kill of this last Knight, go for it. Except Raynor, for you see...)
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:39 PM): With the Shadow Knight's ranks now almost nonexistent, the Champion can be seen steeling itself for the last attack against Raynor!
drascin 11:04 pm
(11:04:44 PM): Pit, on his end, backflips into Cherubot's cockpit again. "Hah! Take that! Nobody hurts Cherubot and goes off free!" And he's going to return the high five with a multi-ton wrecking ball, a bit less carefully because he's kind of super-excited into battle right now
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:23 PM): Champion: "... Using magic to bolster your machine's strength. And unlike your mount, it's not so easy to separate you from it."
(11:05:26 PM): "So bit it!"
(11:05:31 PM): ^"be it"
(11:05:45 PM): "Raynor Joz! We shall finally settle our duel from before!"
tengusaur 11:06 pm
(11:06:14 PM): Raynor: "You think too highly of me if you think I can cast spells."
(11:06:33 PM): Raynor: "Let us finish it, then!"
wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:44 PM): [Raynor] And with that, the Shadow Champion charges at full speed, brandishing its damaged blade as best as it can before the two halves split open and a beam of energy is unleashed in a cutting motion to shop you down!
(11:06:49 PM): (React: Raynor)
aldo salt 11:07 pm
(11:07:09 PM): The metal dents a little. "Gah!" Matthew cries out. Then he sees Raynor and the Champion square off! "Let no one violate the sanctity of the Circle of Equals! Seyla!"
(11:07:38 PM): Matthew turns his Juaggu to face Pit. "Do. Not. Intefere. In. This Duel."
tengusaur 11:07 pm
(11:07:48 PM): Raynor: "If the shadows return as soon as the light disappears, then I will make sure it never goes off! Even if I will have to put my hand in the flame!"
(11:08:12 PM): Raynor: "Paragon of sacrifice! Change, Tinker form!"
tengusaur 11:08 pm
(11:08:51 PM): The shield, thrown away and battered, disappears, and the sword in Paragon's hand reforms itself into a huge-ass gatling gun as the whole machine changes color!
(11:09:03 PM): And another song starts to play!
(11:09:03 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clIig0doicc
drascin 11:09 pm
(11:09:32 PM): Pit: Okay, okay! I'll just go finish off that last guy in the meantime!
tengusaur 11:09 pm
(11:09:36 PM): PAragon's new form:
(11:09:42 PM): http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz111/TehCubey/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/tinker.jpg
(11:09:49 PM): It still glows with golden flame, though...
(11:10:44 PM): * Instead of dodging, Raynor braces against the deck, revvs up the huge gatling gun, and fires a long, continuous burst, sending empty shells flying everywhere! The purpose of this burst is to clear up the incoming blast of energy...
aldo salt 11:11 pm
(11:11:05 PM): Matthew does a very difficult gesture with his undamaged rocket arm, pointing it towards his mono-eye, and then towards Pit. He watches your every move, dezgra angel.
drascin 11:11 pm
(11:11:38 PM): *And so, a bit more sullen, Pit turns from the fight and towards the last remaining shadow knight. Cherubot's a bit banged up, but still mostly okay - still, better to not pull off any weird maneuvers right now. So instead he's going to lead up with a spinning ball to force the knight to dodge to the left... right into the cone of fire of a charged burst of light!"
tengusaur 11:11 pm
(11:11:47 PM): Because at the same time, quiet PING PING PING sounds can be heard as the Tinker's targetting systems lock on! Hatches open at its back, and a dozen guided missiles shoots, flying at the Shadow Champion! +
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:50 PM): [Pit] At this point in time, Cherubot's still pretty banged up. But it still has more than enough to get the task done! The Shadow Knight flees and ends up falling right into your intended attack, getting blown away at long last!
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:22 PM): [Raynor] And meanwhile... the Champion's own attack is stopped cold by Tinker form's dakka... just before all those missiles are unleashed on him! And with the end certainly present, the Champion just seems to nod his head slightly at the inevitable. "... We shall see how long you can keep this world from the shadows. Paragon."
(11:14:37 PM): Not even a moment later, and the Champion is hammered by the missiles and finally done away with
(11:14:56 PM): The ship, as damaged and torn up as it is, is ultimately free of the Shadow Knights and the hostages are saved!
(11:15:07 PM): And for that matter, most of the damage was confined to just the deck of the machine!
colesign@gmail.com has left the room. 11:15 pm
drascin 11:15 pm
(11:15:34 PM): Pit: That was surprisingly diginified of him. Normally bad guy go down shouting things like RAAAAAAH! THIS CANNOT BE! and such
tengusaur 11:15 pm
(11:15:40 PM): Raynor: "On my own, not for long. But I'm not alone."
wyverncakes 11:15 pm
(11:15:42 PM): Still though... if the Shadow Knights are capable of returning from even this... the question isn't going to be a question of "how", but "when".
(11:15:47 PM): At any rate!
(11:15:49 PM): MISSION

(11:17:23 PM): *guy
aldo salt 11:19 pm
(11:19:22 PM): "Aff." Matthew agrees quietly. "We cannot simply despise our opponents, easy as that may be. We must understand them if we are to truly fight and defeat them!"
frifreeman 11:22 pm
(11:22:53 PM): Elena: Agree. Like, do we even know if they have organs or feel pain?
(11:23:19 PM): Elena: And you guys all look double.... whee...
