Aero: So despite our splendid record, we've been invited by a company known as Orsini Industries for a mock battle. To help them test their new machines of course. They also offered some payment for it as well.
Aero: You're all currently situated in the testing grounds but the other machines haven't appeared yet. So how is it going?
Wyverncakes: Kazuki normally would not have any desire to go. Seirously.
Wyverncakes: The last mock battle was pretty ugly for him.
Wyverncakes: BUT
Wyverncakes: ... Ayame and her goddamn job hat.
Wyverncakes: Or whatever she used.
HyprKnux 1: Roux's a little more relaxed than normal. Mock battles? Pfft
Arach: Yui is just lounging about with her fancy arm-computer thing on.
VJockey: Cheng is just chilling in the Fu Xi, arms folded. He's honestly pondering just how today will go wrong.
Aero: There's a pretty large audience for this, it's not every day that you get to see this many units in one area.
Aero: After a bit of waiting one of the hangar doors opens and a machine slowly walks out from it.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Hmm?"
Arach: "Ah, it's here." That gets Yui to stand up at least.
Aero: The face of a woman soon appears on all of your screens.
Aero: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100213022938/durarara/images/3/31/Durarara!!_E06_13m_01s.jpg
Aero: She doesn't seem to be the pilot, more of an operator.
Wyverncakes: The machine has Kazuki's attention too.
cubey@aol.pl: A weird, spindly mobile suit leaves the hangar and moves towards the rest. Its arms are much thicker than the rest of its white body, but despite this unbalanced pose it moves confidently, almost like a giant human being.
Wyverncakes: "... And you are?"
Aero: Colomba: "I'll be the one overseeing this mock battle."
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "How strange..."
Arach: "Is it really wise to place that unit against all of us..."
VJockey: "Interesting... it moved very smoothly... like a human... or an EVA"
Aero: Colomba: "It's only one of the two we're testing today. The unit here should be able to handle a few of you."
Arach: "If you say so…"
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...glad I'm not the only one with reservations..."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "You're very confident."
Aero: Colomba does not respond to that.
Aero: Colomba: "If you need a designation this unit is called Deva the other that will be arriving soon is called Brahma."
Aero: Colomba: "It's arriving now.."
Aero: The Brahma soon arrives as well...however it's followed by a ton of Union Realdos. In fact things are already going badly because they all begin shooting at the buildings, the crowd, AND all of you! (Everyone React!)
cubey@aol.pl: The Deva turns towards the Brahma, casually at first, but then it visibly jumps up, startled. This is not how it was supposed to go!
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "What the hell?!" *Aaaand, the FA Mk-III's quick to raise its shield up+ "Call them off! Call them off!"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "What there?!?"
Wyverncakes: He glares down at Columba on the screen. "What's the meaning of this?"
Arach: *"Could have used a bit of warning…!" Yui's going to get a wall of shield drones up in front of her, the totally harmless human being on the battlefield.+
Wyverncakes: * On his end, Kazuki has the Gnosis Model juke to the side and try to find cover.+
Aero: She's muted her communications with you but you can see her yelling at someone.
VJockey: *The Fu Xi hunkers down to protect itself... and at the same time - return fire at the Realdos with its massive back mounted railguns+
Aero: [Everyone] Whether through dodging or tanking most of the shots fired don't hurt any of you. Cheng is able to take out 2 of the Realdos pretty easily with the gigantic railguns. However several people in the crowd were reduced to just splatters along the ground. There's full panic now.
Aero: (Enemy List: Brahma, 10x Realdo)
Aero: [Initiative: Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng, Roux, Yui]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki's gritting his teeth. So much for getting back into the swing of things with a simple little sparring match.
Aero: (Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng go)
Aero: Colomba finally contacts you all again.
Wyverncakes: The Gnosis Model begins revving its chainguns to fire, but Columba's sudden return gets his attention!
Aero: Colomba: "The pilot of the Brahma has decided to gone rogue so we'll have to ask for your assistance in dealing with it. I'd appreciate it if you could take it down without damaging too much."
Aero: Colomba: "Deva pilot the same goes for you."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "No promises!"
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva looks around itself, like a person deep in shock. It takes a hesitant step, then another one, and there it goes, running top-speed at the Brahma, and then tackling it with a shoulder slam.+
Wyverncakes: * But he'll handle the riff-raff first, thank you very much! The Fafner unloads on the closest Realdo, targeting its head and chest primarily!+
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "W-wait! Don't go rushing in like that!"
VJockey: *Cheng opens fire with his assault rifle and torso mounted autocan ons! FIREPOWER.+
cubey@aol.pl: "Wh... why are you doing this?!" A young female voice sounds over the comm lines. That must be the mysterious Deva pilot! No video though.
VJockey: *targets - Realdos
Aero: [Deva Pilot] "They did this to me, they did this to me, they did this TO ME, WHY WOULDN'T I DO THIS." The reckless charge is answered with a strong punch. The Deva is sent flying back with the single blow while the Brahma seems relatively undamaged by your charge. The heavier armor on it helped a lot.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...that thing's tough... and 'they did this to me'?"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Explanations are probably in order."
Aero: [Cheng] The bulletstorm blows through the crowd of Realdos but one of them are destroyed by it. The others only took some moderate damage. Cheng two of them are charging at you with their sonic blades. [React]
VJockey: "Agreed"
cubey@aol.pl: "Eek!" The Deva fell down, but it's back up quickly enough. That thing is really swift.
Aero: [Kazuki] Despite unloading into the Realdo it continues to move in at you with the sonic blade as well. However before it can get in it's attack a beam pierces through it's cockpit stopping the machine.
Aero: (Roux, Yui take your turns)
VJockey: *Cheng moves back - the gatling shield on the Fu Xi's right pulling into a more compact form as he draws the superconductor knife to parry the blows and take them on up close!+
Wyverncakes: Well... that was lucky.
Aero: Indeed, in fact when you look at where the beam came from it came from...A RUGE LANCE?
Arach: *Time to thin the herd! Yui summons two squads of laser drones, and has them proceed to spam TINY RED LASERS at all the Realdos. Fear their power!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Well, then, I think it might be easier to disable the runaway suit and find out things from there...!" *With that, the FA Mk-III draws its beam saber and lunges at the Brahma, intedning on striking at its knees+
Wyverncakes: Alarms go off in Kazuki's head when he sees that ruge lance! He's still got his, so...
Wyverncakes: (Is the Chalice nearby?)
Aero: (It is not)
Aero: (Just a bit away from the facility)
Aero: Kazuki getting a better look you see...something that should not be there.
Aero: http://cdn28.atwikiimg.com/fafner/?plugin=ref&serial=888
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "... Titan models!"
Aero: It's just the one.
Wyverncakes: What was Tatsumiya Island bothering with those deathtraps beyond deathtraps?!?
Wyverncakes: ^"... A Titan model!"
VJockey: "we will need a lot of explainations after this"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki's definitely feeling very angry right now, and opens a channel to the Deva's pilot!
Wyverncakes: "Were you also researching Fafners as well?!?"
Aero: [Cheng] Again the same thing happens with Kazuki, even as you parry the blows it seems sooner or later the two would overwhelm you. That is until a loud bang is heard and another one of the Realdos are taken out.
Wyverncakes: There's quite a bit of anger in his voice.
Wyverncakes: At least the Federation models wouldn't kill you through overuse!
cubey@aol.pl: Deva looks around until it actually spots the Fafner whose pilot was talking, then shakes its head.
Aero: [Yui] Laser Danmaku after the bullet barrage from Cheng is kind of unfair. The lasers rip through 3 different Realdos reducing them to scrap.
Wyverncakes: And if that pilot's being honest... then Kazuki's seriously at a loss here.
Wyverncakes: Tatsumiya wouldn't be THAT desperate to field Fafners, would they?
VJockey: "Kazuki! Have you comtacted the Titan model yet?"
Wyverncakes: And thank you Cheng for reminding Kazuki of probably the only lead they had left.
colesign@gmail.com: A newcomer chimes in over the White Chalice comm channel:
Wyverncakes: "Give me a moment..."
Aero: [Roux] "I'LL LET YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID TO ME." Roux the second before your beam saber makes contact the Brahma is able to jump away. He would have to be some kind of Newtype to have reaction times like that. The chest then begins to build up energy. [REACT ROUX.]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Whoever's in there, identify yourself! And for that matter get out of that machine before it kills you!"
colesign@gmail.com: "Mechwarrior Matthew, deploying from the White Chalice? What is the tactical situation?"
Aero: Cheng that shot that saved you? You can also see where it came from. In fact it seems to be a person in a set of Lupus armor, the same kind Frank wore.
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew guides his Nova Messenger onto the launch rails!
Arach: "Hm…Who's 'They', Brahma pilot?"
colesign@gmail.com: [#Roux?]
Aero: [Approved]
HyprKnux 1: Roux: And there goes Roux's own Newtype senses! "Aw, crap...!" *Full reverse, FA Mk-III! Roux's gonna hafta jump back before that possibly painful attack hits!+
VJockey: "...What?"
Aero: In fact it's giving you a small salute Cheng.
VJockey: [Cheng's rapidly zooming in on the Armor to get a better look of its markings-]
colesign@gmail.com: "Nova Messenger, launching!" Matthew soars out and off into the air, feathering his jump jets to descend into the fray in an arc. *He targets the Brahma's chest unit, providing cover fire for Roux. "Nova Burst!"+
Aero: Exactly the same as you know whos.
VJockey: [and freezes.. unconciously returning it]
Aero: [Roux and Matthew] Roux you're able to successfully escape thanks to Matthew's covering fire. In fact Matthew you're able to take out 2 of the Realdos that were trying to help defend the Brahma.
Aero: (Enemy List: Brahma, 3x Realdo)
Aero: [Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng again go.]
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...thanks, Matthew..."
Aero: Kazuki there's no response from TSX.
Wyverncakes: Kazuki's also paying attention to Cheng and the Lupus armor too.
Wyverncakes: "... Well at least you got a salute out of yours..."
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "The hell's going on?"
colesign@gmail.com: "Think nothing of it." Matthew replies.
VJockey: "Kazuki... is there.. do you know any quirks about Ryo that might carry over to his piloting?"
colesign@gmail.com: "And I have little idea of what is going on. I assumed you would know more, quiaff?"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "I don't know. I never knew he was a pilot until after he died!"
Wyverncakes: All he could really do at this point, was focus on the Realdos again!
Wyverncakes: * And specifically, charge at one of them while firing a few times at it with his beam rifle &
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew touches down with a jolt on the ground, jump jets kicking up turf. As the Nova straightens up, he toggles for active targeting.
cubey@aol.pl: *The Deva braces itself. It points its arms, one at a Realdo each. And then, two large beams shoot out from its palms!+
Arach: "The mock battle's gone astray…Brahma's pilot seems to have become a beast. And the other people are unknowns…"
cubey@aol.pl: This one doesn't just have a single beam cannon like the Brahma, but two!
VJockey: *Cheng's going to fire a few missiles at the Realdos,.. but his eyes keep returning to the Titan model and the Lupus armor+
Aero: [Kazuki] The Realdo returns fire with it's railgun but only gets glancing shots on you. Your own shots destroy the railgun arm. [Continue]
Wyverncakes: * And losing that railgun means the Realdo'll need time to draw a new weapon! And that's time Kazuki can spend closing the distance and driving his own Ruge Lance into its body!+
Aero: [Cheng and Deva Pilot and Kazuki] Between the missiles and the beams and Kazuki driving his Ruge Lance into the other one the remaining Realdos didn't really stand a chance at surviving. Three more explosions follow and finally the Brahma is left on it's own.
Aero: Of course that means that the pilot is getting more paranoid and crazy. "Looks like I have to show you the full extent of what they did to me." From all over it's body a storm of beam wires fly out at all of you. [Everyone React]
Wyverncakes: * And Kazuki's just gonna try to fall back and swat away those cables with his lance!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...crap! Stop this!" *Roux goes for her beam sabers and boosts out of the way, beam blades swinging to cut at the wires.+ "You don't have to do this! If you'd just calm down...!"
VJockey: *Cheng's firing up the thrusters and pushing the Fu Xi's ability to maneuver to its very maximum!+
Arach: *Time for all the tanking! Yui has her laser drones swap out for shield drones, and forms a wall around her.+
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "I don't think anything's going to convince him!"
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew attempts to glides backwards with his jump jets Dom style, opening fire on incoming strands and attempted to slash at any close-coming ones with his heat katars!+
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva takes a step or two back, and protectively covers its head with its arms. Not the best defense but then, what else can you do in a situation like this?+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "I hate to say you're right..."
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew opens a comm channel to the Deva. "Fall back, Mechwarrior!"
Aero: [Kazuki] Swatting them away isn't the best idea. The for every one that you swat away another two seem to appear. The Fafner gets pierced with three wires, one through each arm and one right through the head of the machine causing some damage.
Wyverncakes: And once again, Kazuki's glad these models don't have pain feedback.
Aero: [Roux] Again that idea was a pretty bad one and you eat quite a few of the wires as well. Thankfully the wires didn't do that much damage but a few of your systems could end up shot if you continue this.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Gah...!"
Aero: [Matthew] Same thing although the wires don't really seem to do much to your machine.
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew checks his HUD damage readouts and sees this for himself. "Interesting..."
Aero: [Yui] The shield wall holds...for a bit they eventaully get through, you were a small enough target that he couldn't hit you directly with the wires but still. Your clothes suddenly feel really hot.
Aero: [Deva Pilot] Pain, just pain. A lot of the wires were directed at you and just standing there with your arms over your head means that they almost all hit you.
Aero: [Roux, Yui, Matthew can take their turns]
Aero: [Cheng] Being the only one that DODGED with MAXIMUM THRUSTER POWER. You escape relatively unharmed.
cubey@aol.pl: Everyone, you can now hear a girl screaming in agony over the comm channel.
Wyverncakes: Aaaaaaaaand that brings up some very painful memories for Kazuki.
colesign@gmail.com: "Stravag!" Matthew curses, grinding his teeth at the noise.
Wyverncakes: "Fall back!" he cries out, moving to get the Gnosis in a support position for the Deva!
HyprKnux 1: Roux winces at the screaming before she lets out her own yell. "ENOUGH!" *And Roux draws her beam rifle and fires at the Brahma's arms!+
colesign@gmail.com: "Fellow warriors! What sorts of damage have you received from the beam wires!"
Arach: *"Hmm..Looks like I will have to be a bit more serious…" Yui keys in a combination on her computer thing, and a sigil forms on the ground with her in the center. A pillar of darkness erupts from it, and when it clears Shemhazai is standing proud and tall, while Yui is nowhere to be seen. The black robot charges Brahma with a spinning kick to the chest!+
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew revvs the throttle and jets forwards, rotating his Nova to the side, and skidding around the Brahma's until it's back left flank comes into view. He aims at the weaker rear armor. "For your dezgra methods, you shall be rebuked! Nova Burst!" A spray of lasers lashes out!+
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Whatever's going on and however your machine works,it's putting you through a lot of pain!" Well duh, that was obvious. "Keep your distance and please, tell us anything you can about stopping that other mech!"
cubey@aol.pl: "It's..." Deva's body shudders, like if the machine itself was in pain. "Classified..."
Aero: [Yui and Roux and Matthew] Yui the moment before Shemhazai's foot makes contact with the Brahma he sidesteps out of the way and grabs onto the leg, swinging it around as a makeshift shield from the shots fired by Roux and Matthew before tossing it at the Mk.III. Matthew you yourself are targeted and you see the huge cannon on it's shoulder fire a huge shell at you.
Aero: [React the three of you.]
Aero: Colomba: "Deva pilot don't retreat, you need to continue fighting."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki snorts.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "The hell?! There's no way...!" *Newtype senses tingling! The flash goes off and Roux's quick to leap out of the way of the sudden attack. "...that pilot has to be a Newtype or...!" She doesn't like the thought of the second idea...
Wyverncakes: At least the bullshit mechanics of the Fafners were kinda-sorta in response to dealing with the Festu!
Wyverncakes: ^Festum
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew triggers his jump jets and rotates 45 degrees, angling his mech's body like a fencer to make for a narrow profile, then Rombas forward to get out of the way of the shell!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Don't retreat?! In case you haven't noticed, things have gone VERY sideways here!"
Arach: *Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Well Yui's gonna try to throw up a shield in time to block the blue on blue shots, and then have Shemhazai spin around it's leg in order to free itself. Torque!+
colesign@gmail.com: "The Deva pilot is in open ground!" Matthew adds to Roux's commentary. "It need to reposition itself if it is to fight effectively!"
Aero: [Roux and Yui] And Shemhazai safely lands away from you Roux. The shield also kept it safe from it's allies fire. You do feel a bit sick though Yui.
Arach: "Ugh…"
Aero: [Matthew] That's enough to get you mostly out of the way but the back of your machine is still hit and...despite it only being a glancing blow something inside of the shell is caused a TON of damage inside of your machine.
Aero: [Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng]
Wyverncakes: And, well, Kazuki's sorta looking over at the Deva, kinda hoping that its pilot doesn't do something stupid.
VJockey: *Knife goes back into sheath. Cheng goes full auto gatling on the rogue enemy machine!+
cubey@aol.pl: "I... yes..." The pilot is breathing heavily. And then... something happens. The machine looks very stiff for a second, but the breathing stops and suddenly Deva's movements become incredibly fluid and graceful.
Wyverncakes: "You don't have to do this alone," he said... and at the same time wondering why the Mysterious Helpers Using Mechs Of Dead People (trademark 2013) hadn't done anything regarding the Brahma just yet.
colesign@gmail.com: "Gah!" Matthew gets battered around in the Cockpit.
Wyverncakes: * And Kazuki's just gonna try to test the water and unload some dakka on the enemy machine!+
cubey@aol.pl: *It runs towards Brahma once again, taking long leaps and zig-zagging so it does not get hit. Mid-run, the Deva draws a weapon from its hip mount - a small beam dagger, and stabs at Brahma's head from above the shoulder!&
colesign@gmail.com: Alarms blare inside Matthew's cockpit, and it's heat threshold shrinks as some heat sinks are destroyed.
Aero: [Deva Pilot, Kazuki, Cheng] Thanks to the covering fire from Cheng and Kazuki the Brahma isn't able to get away from you Deva Pilot. For a moment it looks like he was about to use his crazy reaction times again. However the machine just kneels over. "AAAAAAHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHH IT HURTS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH." The pilot screams in pain. [Continue Deva Pilot.]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki can't help but feel for Brahma's pilot.
Wyverncakes: They're a psycho, yeah...
Wyverncakes: But he's been there.
Wyverncakes: Hell, he damn-near drowned in magma once
cubey@aol.pl: * "Don't worry... it won't hurt for long..." The pilot sounds serene, despite the fact that she just stabbed someone. Both of Deva's hands grip the dagger, and their palm beam cannons open - to use the beam dagger's solid core like a syringe, a syringe to pump the enemy machine full of Minovsky mega particles.+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Eh...?"
Aero: [Deva Pilot] The Brahma's systems are completely destroyed by the particles. The machine doesn't seem to be moving anymore.
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew finally gets it. "A EI-esque system…that delivers the Mech's pain to the pilot?" He growls.
Aero: As you all look around barring the few unlucky ones the audience seems to have gotten away but due to the fight several of the buildings are heavily damaged.
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "It's not exactly unique."
Aero: There's still also the TSX and Lupus hanging around just...watching.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Nuh-uh... but this..."
Arach: "We can't really interrogate the dead..."
colesign@gmail.com: "It is not exactly unique?" Matthew exclaims.
colesign@gmail.com: "Why have I not heard of this before?"
VJockey: "you never asked"
colesign@gmail.com: "...Aff."
Aero: There's just a pause before 4 large pods drop down.
cubey@aol.pl: Deva walks away from the destroyed Brahma, swaying lightly back and forth from damage.
Aero: They transform into somewhat familiar machines.
Aero: http://imgur.com/nBCNP90
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Wait. The Inspectors!"
Aero: That's not all though
VJockey: "Blasted extraterrestrials."
Aero: There are 4 large shadows hanging over all of you.
Arach: "Look lively, Deva girl."
colesign@gmail.com: "…INSPECTORS!!!!" Mattthew shouts.
Aero: They seemed to have followed the Inspectors pod machines.
Aero: ACTUALLY
Aero: IT ISN'T THE INSPECTORS
Aero: BUT ANOTHER GROUP OF MINIBOSSES
Aero: (Caliban) http://s3.photobucket.com/user/al0013/media/generalmecha.jpg.html
(Slepnir)
http://s21.photobucket.com/user/Zappa_Slave/media/Other/Slepnir.jpg.html
(Mysterium)
http://s21.photobucket.com/user/Zappa_Slave/media/Other/BossUnitAdventus.png
.html
Hyperion doesn't have a picture lewl
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...eh?!"
Aero: (Enemy List: Caliban (Yolanda AI ), Hyperion (Ham AI ), Slepnir (RGNK AI ), The
Power Glove aka Mysterium (Lucas AI ), TSX x1, 1x Lupus, 2x Lest Djemira )
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Th... those are...!"
Aero: The machines of the former Adventus Generals.
Aero: Freshly copied
Aero: For Inspector use of course.
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "They could even replicate those machines?!?"
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew pivots on his jets to target the newest foes. "What abilities do these Inspector machines possess?"
VJockey: "......."
Aero: Cheng this is definitely a blast from the past for you.
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "These aren't Inspectors... these are Adventus machines! And... let's put it like this - they gave us a hard time... a REAL hard time."
Arach: "Ah…memories, Mr. Cheng?"
VJockey: "Yes. many of them. unlike last time though. I will fully make sure none of these survive"
colesign@gmail.com: "Adventus?" Matthew searches his memory. "The anti-Battlemech coalition, quiaff?"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "That's one way of putting it."
cubey@aol.pl: Deva's pilot doesn't respond, but the machine's head turns towards where Colomba should be, wordlessly asking for orders.
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew takes aim at the lead model. "What are their capabitilies?"
Aero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-_3T3JLnoM
Aero: Music starts playing from the largest of them.
Aero: [Roux, Yui, Matthew GOOOOOOOO]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "... The gold one used to be Jeremy's. Expect a lot of barriers from it."
VJockey: [Cheng points them out] "sounds and mental manipulation, barriers, teleportation, remote weapons."
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew nods. "I will take the one with the remote weapons."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "If they fight anything like the originals we should just focus on them one at a time!"
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...this isn't something you can win on your own! We faced them one on one and they've beaten us badly!"
colesign@gmail.com: "They are that strong?" Matthew asks.
colesign@gmail.com: He glares at the Hyperion. He thinks he can take it.
colesign@gmail.com: ...
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "It's been a year, but... we need to take out the DJ's machine first - he has the music!" *With that, Roux races after the largest, bringing out the massive beam cannon and firing it at its feet+
VJockey: "They are. I don't recommend fighting alone unless you have a deathwish"
colesign@gmail.com: "Aff! Zelbrigen does not apply in this situation, apparently!" Matthew replies. "Be ready to clear out of my line of fire…"
Arach: *Right then! Time to be the cool guy. Yui summons a pair of shield drones, and gets to spamming ranged energy punches towards Mysterium…and plenty of other shots at her own drones, set to bounce off towards the inspectors unit.+
Aero: [Roux] The large speakers begin to emit out huge shockwaves. Your beam cannon hits the leg of the machine but it doesn't seem to do much other than take off some of the outer armor. It returns the favor by sending a large blast of sound your way. [React]
cubey@aol.pl: # Roux
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Whoop!" *And time to boost backward! Seriously, this is nuts!+
Aero: [Yui] Mysterium's spikey bits all break apart to intercept and to reflect your own shots back towards you. It's reaction time was a lot faster than yours. [React]
Aero: (Approved)
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew takes careful aim at the Mysterium's chest. He toggles all ten of his medium lasers, heat sink loss be damned. And then, once Yui clears out of his line of fire…*ALPHAAA STRIKEEEE!+
cubey@aol.pl: "Don't worry." *The Deva is suddenly by the Zeta, having run up to it with speed of an olympic athlete scaled up to mobile suit size. "We cannot lose here." It grabs the Gundam and pulls it out of harm's way in a single precise motion.
cubey@aol.pl: +
colesign@gmail.com: [Drat, can I amend that to the mech Roux is targetting?]
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...we can't try to fight them one on one... WHOOP!"
Aero: [Matthew] That would be great...if you didn't forget about the Hyperion. The large gaudy machine steps in the way of the lasers and forms a HUGE barrier to protect both machines.
VJockey: "Do not bother with missiles or beams on the RGNK copy! his music disrupts them!"
colesign@gmail.com: [Nevermind.]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Then physical weapons."
Wyverncakes: Which Kazuki fortunately has plenty of!
Aero: [Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng go]
Wyverncakes: "... Cheng, how did everyone take down the original one?"
Aero: [Roux] Thanks to the Deva Pilot you aren't turned into a mushy paste from the shockwave.
VJockey: "Go for the legs!"
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew gasps from the heat overflow, his cockpit turned into an impromptu sauna. And to see that mech block his Alpha Strike like nothing. "Dezgra melee attacks. Understood!"
Arach: *Shemhazai dashes as best it can between the reflected shots, using the occasional shield to deal with whatever looks too dangerous.+
Aero: Colomba: "Deva Pilot you understand right, you need to take out these ones also."
Wyverncakes: And at that, Kazuki nods!
Wyverncakes: "Roux helped us out in that regard. Cover me!"
VJockey: *And with that... RAILGUNS TO THE KNEES!]
Wyverncakes: * And the Gnosis model charges as well, aiming for the previous damaged section of the legs and jamming his chainguns into them before opening fire!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Well, let's see if I can't make it two for two here...!"
Aero: [Yui] At least it was your own shots so you're able to get away from them without any damage.
cubey@aol.pl: * "Yes." Deva looks like it's going to charge at another enemy, the copy Slepnir this time. But once it's at mid range, it suddenly swings both of its arms - a dozen or so beam strings shoot out from its fingers and whip around and on the enemy machine, aimed at its weakest points and extremities.+
Aero: [Kazuki] That would be great if the TSX didn't intercept you. Swinging down it's Ruge Lance at you.
Aero: [React]
HyprKnux 1: # Kazuki
Aero: [Approved]
HyprKnux 1: *And as the TSX moved in, the MK-III races in to intercept the Lance with its beam saber+ "Keep going!"
Wyverncakes: * And see? This is why Kazuki's got his OWN Ruge Lance for parrying with too! Though that's only if Roux drops the ball here.+
Aero: [Cheng] It's successful the Railgun blows the knee away. The music doesn't sound like it'll be stopping any time soon though. Of course the Lupus copy would bring out his Anti-SE Launcher...to use on you. [React]
colesign@gmail.com: #Felicita?
Aero: (She's not being attacked)
colesign@gmail.com: [Derp. @Felicita?]
Aero: [Roux] They have their own support defenders, the Lest Djemira intercepts your interception to allowed the TSX to continue to Kazuki. In fact it's firing at you with the beam rifle in the other arm. [React]
Aero: (Approved)
Aero: [Kazuki] The ball was dropped and you're now parrying with a copy of your dead presidents machine.
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew triggers his jump jets and soars up in an arc, attacking the crown of the Slepnirs as the Deva binds it up…with three lasers. Any more would risk an emergency shutdown+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Gah!" *And Roux's quick to raise up her shield to defend herself again+ "This is nuts...!"
VJockey: "...I will see the Inspectors dead for this disrespect"
Wyverncakes: It's better than actually getting killed by that machine.
Aero: [Matthew and Deva Pilot] The beam strings are met with more pulsing soundwaves but that isn't enough to stop them from digging into the joints and the speakers of the machine. Which shuts it down. Matthew this actually lets your laser shots dig into the head of the machine. Unfortuntely they quickly get the speakers working again and a tiger made purely of sound is sent out at you. [React]
Arach: #Matthew
Wyverncakes: #
Aero: (Approved Yui, Kazuki you're busy)
colesign@gmail.com: "What the–?" Matthew thinks furiously. A sound projection…maybe–
Arach: *Curses, a time when she has to use…TEAMWORK. Yui throws up two shield drone squads to form a double-layer of protection around Matthew, while Shemhazai takes the last stage with it's own projected shield.+
colesign@gmail.com: *As Matthew attempts to jet to the side while in freefall…he also activates his boosted loudspeaker…and pumps out, at full volume, Bach's Dies Irae, in an attempt to disrupt the Sound Construct with LoudBaroque Music!+
cubey@aol.pl: *Quickly, almost reflexively, Deva fires its beam cannons again. The twin cones of yellow particles are going for where the soundwaves are coming from, to disrupt them before any major damage is caused.+
Aero: [Yui and Matthew] The sound tiger doesn't have a problem with either defenses, easily ripping through the defense of the shield drones. Shemhazai is slammed with one claw of the tiger, Matthew you get the other.
Aero: [Deva Pilot] Beam weapons weren't the best idea. It doesn't seem to be able to pierce the constant soundwaves as easily as the beam wires were.
Aero: [Roux] Successful shield defense.
Aero: [Roux, Yui, Matthew go.]
colesign@gmail.com: "Grahhh!" Matthew growls, as his mech is rocked back.
Aero: So far the only damage you guys have been able to get in are two destroyed legs on Sleipnir.
Aero: If this keeps up...
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Not good... need a better plan..."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Or at least reinforcements."
Wyverncakes: Like...
Wyverncakes: EVERYTHING ON THE CHALICE
colesign@gmail.com: "Mechwarrior Sendou!" Matthew shouts out. "Let us take this would be Smoke Jaguar together!"
Aero: The Chalice!
Arach: "…Right. Er, Aff."
Aero: Is only close enough for you guys to communicate with it.
Aero: Ayame: "What's going on in there!"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "The Inspectors!"
Wyverncakes: "They sent imitations of the Adventus general machines!"
Arach: "It's rather annoying."
Aero: Ayame seems at a lost for ideas.
Wyverncakes: And staring down the TSX... Kazuki bites his lip.
Wyverncakes: "... Can you launch the Mark Sein?"
Aero: Ayame: "What?"
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "What...?!
Wyverncakes: He's feeling a bit more ballsy now that the die's been cast.
Wyverncakes: "Launch it!"
colesign@gmail.com: "Your mastery of proper grammar is impressive! Now, strike the beast, throw it off balance, and I shall finish it with my own strike!"
VJockey: *Cheng is going to deal with the Lupus copy by way of missile barrage. He grimaced at havig to do this.+
Aero: Ayame: "You do understand what will happen since we don't have the Siegfried System anymore right."
Wyverncakes: "I don't even need to attack with it! It can assimilate and bolster our weapons!"
Wyverncakes: "If we can't expect much for reinforcements we need to wring out as much as we can get!"
Wyverncakes: And even if it would get him killed, in this kind of situation? So be it.
VJockey: *Cheng is going to deal with the Lupus copy by way of missile barrage. He grimaced at havig to do this.+
Wyverncakes: "I could die."
Wyverncakes: "Yes."
Wyverncakes: "... But Ryo knew the risks when he fought too."
Wyverncakes: "And so did Shouko. And everyone else on the ship!"
Wyverncakes: And to think this was going to be the mock battle to wash the bad taste of the last one out of his mouth.
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew reconsiders. "Neg, I shall strike this beast first!" *He draws back one of his arms, then rams said arm into the Tiger's face, firing four lasers…not to damage the sound construct, but to pump heat into the twin radiator blades on said arm. "Nova Slash!"+
cubey@aol.pl: "You won't die. We won't lose here." Deva's pilot speaks up, though even in combat she sounds awkward and rather quiet.
colesign@gmail.com: "Now finish it!"
Aero: [Cheng] Missiles meet missiles it's been a long time since you've seen Frank. Even if this is just a copy he's fighting the same way. He's already taken another position to fire the rifle at you. [React]
cubey@aol.pl: @Matthew
Aero: (Approved)
Aero: Ayame: "...alright, we're sending out the Mark Sein."
VJockey: *And Cheng has a small, sad smile.... knife is drawn. Knife is activated and charged. Cheng moves to stab through cover. even if it isnt a hit - the energy backwash would cause the copy some havoc+
cubey@aol.pl: * Swift as the wind itself, Deva only spins once in a half-pirouette as it advances - to pose itself at Slepnir's back. Taking advantage of Matthew's attack, it backstabs the copy Adventus machine, and starts pumping megaparticles immediately.+
Arach: *"Could you be any more patronizing?" Still, Yui goes through the motions. Shemhazai makes the sigil for that finishing move, aiming it at…the ground? And Yui punches through it, sending the black dragon-beam into the earth…and through the ground, where it erupts from underneath Slepnir, trying to cast the super robot high into the sky…&
cubey@aol.pl: "We won't lose because... Mother needs me to win!"
Aero: [Cheng] It takes the shot but the bullet whizzes past the head of Fu Xi. You had an idea of where he would be hiding out...and the knife pierces through the entire body of the Lupus. There's no blood thankfully...it just stops moving.
colesign@gmail.com: "My apologies, Mechwarrior Sendou. I realized I was closer." Matthew replies, misunderstanding what Yui was offended about.
VJockey: "... It was good to see you again Frank.." [Back to battle]
Aero: [Yui and Deva Pilot] Matthew is a pretty good distraction. That gives both of you the chance to finish off the Slepnir. The syringes dig into the machine and you know what, Slepnir was NOT made for dealing with that kind of attack. Before it can even do anything else the dragon beam lifts all 80 meters of it into the sky before it explodes rather gloriously. [SLEPNIR DEFEATED]
Aero: (Knux did you take your turn yet?
HyprKnux 1: ((Whoops, sorry!))
Arach: *POSE*
Aero: [Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng]
Aero: Kazuki the Mark Sein is arriving. What do.
Aero:
(Enemy List: Caliban (Yolanda AI ), Hyperion (Ham AI ), The
Power Glove aka Mysterium (Lucas AI ), TSX x1, 2x Lest Djemira )
Aero: Best of all the music finally stopped.
Aero: And Matthew the tiger isn't mauling you anymore
Wyverncakes: What's Kazuki going to do?
HyprKnux 1: *Two down, a few more to go. Well, let's take care of the unit attacking her first as Roux's shield takes aim at the Lest Djemira and fires the beam cannons in it+
cubey@aol.pl: "I... which one next?" Already on the run, Deva's pilot needs a target to pick.
Arach: "The drone unit, I think…"
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew finally lands on the ground from his jump arc…the cockpit rocking as he lands a bit rough. "From Kerensky's Stars came the Eight Hundred…" *Pose*Beneath a Banner of Truth and Righteous Light!"
Wyverncakes: * First thing's first. The Gnosis model is going to kick the TSX away before Kazuki ejects and does his best dash to the machine! Damn does this take him back!&
VJockey: @Kazuki
colesign@gmail.com: "Aff. We shall handle them as a coordinated unit!" Matthew adds.
Aero: (Approved)
Aero: You could do that if the Hyperion wasn't standing in front of the other two, with a COME AT ME pose.
Aero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0odBpvBAYM
Arach: "Oh, but we have a volunteer…"
VJockey: *Cheng's going to ensure that the TSX doesn't intefere. By way of shank knife.+
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Don't destroy it! I've got plans... hopefully."
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva swipes with the beam strings again, only five from one hand this time. The strings are thrown in such a way to tie themselves on the machine's limbs and only then start to cut into it.+
cubey@aol.pl: (The target being Hyperion)
Aero: [Kazuki and Cheng] The shitty ditched MP Fafner is easily cleaved apart by the TSX, Cheng it's going after you now though. A Ruge Lance Beam is shot at you. [React]
Aero: [Kazuki continue]
Wyverncakes: And getting inside of the Mark Sein... well, needless to say it's a PAINFUL experience.
Wyverncakes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG91K14cfkA
Wyverncakes: He gets to join in the Power Trip people and that goddamn feedback bullshit!
Wyverncakes: BUT...
VJockey: *BOOSTERS! Cheng fires them to dodge past and deliver a boot to the head!+
Wyverncakes: * "... Just a little while! Soushi... if I die right now, it's for these people!" Suck it Fujoshi. But the Mark Sein then flips up into the air towards the TSX and then stabs out with its crystal-covered hands into the machine's arms. He's going to assimilate the enemy Fafner, take control of as much of it as possible!+
Wyverncakes: ^& (sorry)
Aero: [Deva] Of course the Hyperion responds by wrapping it's limbs in barriers, very thick ones that can easily handle your much smaller beam wires. Four large barriers are formed then shaped into large lances and fired at you. [React]
colesign@gmail.com: #Deva?
Aero: [Kazuki and Cheng] Poor Ryo bot is having a bad day, first he gets kicked in the head by Cheng then he has to die the same way that regular Ryo died. By having his Fafner assimilated. Cheng it's a VERY uncomfortable image as you see the TSX covered in the green crystals. [Continue Kazuki]
Aero: [Approved]
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "..."
Wyverncakes: Oh ho... that's not ALL the Mark Sein's assimilations can do though!
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva dives to the right and continues running, strafing away from the barrier-lances while its wires continue, possibly fruitlessly but still, to cut into the enemy.+
VJockey: "....."
Wyverncakes: * Becasue then the TSX is gonna turn in the direction of the imitation Hyperion and its arms are gonna snap open revealing its wrist-mounted chainguns. BUT THEY DON'T FIRE BULLETS. NOW THEY FIRE LAAAAASERS! LOTS AND LOTS OF LASERS!+
colesign@gmail.com: "Not so fast!" *Matthew zooms forward past Deva and opens fire with 6 mediums lasers, spraying them across the Hyperion in an attempt to get it to reallocate it's barriers to defend against the new attack!+
Aero: [Deva Pilot] Thanks to the Overdrive Mode you're able to gracefully avoid the lances...that is until he directs them to come back and attack your back. All four of them dig into the spine of the machine.
Aero: [Matthew] HamAI does not care about your lasers in fact he just forms a barrier bucket to catch your shots.
cubey@aol.pl: "A.... ah..." Shot down in the middle of its moment of glory, the Deva falls down to its knees.
Aero: [Kazuki] WHY ARE THEY FIRING LASERS, HIS BUCKET CAN ONLY HOLD SO MUCH. Still the only lightly scorch the armor of the Hyperion.
Aero: [Roux, Yui, Matthew go]
Aero: Colomba: "Deva Pilot get up now."
cubey@aol.pl: "Y... yes... Mother..." Heavy breathing.
HyprKnux 1: *Seeing what's going on, Roux's going to pour more into that beam bucket, beam weaponry aimed at that bucket!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...mother...?!"
colesign@gmail.com: "Stravag!!!" Matthew snarls. "Stravag!"
Aero: [Roux] You remember how these machines could beams...well this one is way too big for it to even dodge away from. The entire machine is gone once the beam envelops it.
Aero: [Roux again] Of course he just expands the bucket to take that shot before reforming it into a large ball filled with beamy lasery goodness. Which he then throws at you guys before removing his barrier and letting all that energy expand next to you all. [React everyone]
Wyverncakes: * In this situation, it's all Kazuki can do to kick the TSX away (sorry Ryo), and scoop up the discarded weapons from the Gnosis model. Whee for a spare Ruge Lance, beam rifle, and chaingun! Now time to abscond!+
Arach: *Shemhazai's going to gather as much power as it can in its legs, and leap hiiiigh up into the air, its hair flowing cooly past it as the beams start to be reflected towards everyone on the ground. Yes, this…this is that most famous of finishing moves-the rider kick! The sun at her back, Yui goes into a dive straight for the Hyperion, with Shemhazai's foot wreathed in dark flames.+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Crap..." *And Roux's going to boost away from the beam burst+ "...bad idea! Bad idea!"
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva rolls out of harm's way, damaged but still very acrobatic. Now is the time to act! The barriers are gone, so as soon as the defensive roll is over, it shoots out beam strings from its OTHER hand straight at Hyperion.+
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew faces forward with his Nova, Roombas in front of Deva, and tanks any beam shots that come that way, relying on his ablative anti-beam coating to dissipate them!+
colesign@gmail.com: [Er…Roombas alongside Deva, shall we say.]
VJockey: *Cheng's gonna be a jerk and find an enemy machine to use as his human shield+
Aero: [Yui and Deva pilot] That's a very powerful finishing attack. In fact the copy Hyperion has to focus several barriers to defending from it. That would be a great opportunity to attack...if Mysterium didn't send all of it's beam saber bits at you Yui. Still the Deva is able to get it's beam wires into the Hyperion this time during that small opening. [React Yui]
Aero: [Cheng] Well that poor Inspector Grunt didn't see that one coming, Fu Xi comes out rather unscathed from that mess. The Lest Djemira not so much.
Arach: *Gah, abort! Shemhazai uses those barriers as a surface to jump off of, trying to put some distance between it and the beam saber bits.+
colesign@gmail.com: *Then Matthew rockets forward, attempting to ram through the Hyperion's chest with his radiator katars, currently glowing yellow-orange! "Hahhh!"+
Aero: [Roux and Kazuki] Being COWARDS you both escape without any damage. The TSX isn't so lucky being kicked by some jerk into all of that energy. There's only about 2/3rds of the machine still intact afterwards.
Wyverncakes: Amount of fucks given: none
Aero: [Matthew] That does the trick in tanking the beams but your machine is really really messed up right now, both internally and on the exterior.
Wyverncakes: Maybe it's that enforced Character Derailment stuff Fafners do.
HyprKnux 1: Hey, if she's still alive, that counts!
Aero: [Kazuki, Deva Pilot, Cheng]
Wyverncakes: (Enemy headcount?)
Aero:
(Enemy List: Caliban (Yolanda AI ), Hyperion (Ham AI ), The
Power Glove aka Mysterium (Lucas AI ), )
Aero: http://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch?v=cmlJQeBnh1Y
Aero: For the Power Glove
Wyverncakes: And Kazuki opens a channel to the Deva pilot and Cheng!
cubey@aol.pl: * Deva jumps up from the prone position and runs at Hyperion head-on, intend to just shank it with the beam knife. What a straightforward attack, surely there is no trick involved here.&
Wyverncakes: "... It's just these three left. If we all focus-"
Wyverncakes: Well that sorta explains that then.
Wyverncakes: * And the Mark Sein moves to flank the Hyperion, drawing both of its Ruge Lances out and assimilating them! And just like the Deva, surely there's nothing deep and sinister to it trying to stab the machine from behind!&
VJockey: "We're going to need a large power disruption! a field - something!"
Aero: [Matthew] Of course a barrier is formed in front of Matthew easily tanking the attack. It's then reshaped into some sort of horrible barrier iron maiden. Which is quickly closing on you Matthew. [React]
VJockey: #Matthew
Aero: (Approved)
Arach: "All I can do is small barriers…nothing like what that monster's capable of..."
colesign@gmail.com: "You savarshi…" Matthew notes the barrier crusher. "Stravag!" He tries to jump jet straight up and out of it!+
VJockey: *well this is gonna suck. Cheng ditches his extra armor - though he keeps his weapons and kicks the boosters into high gear to yank the Nova away from the Iron Maiden!+
Aero: [Deva Pilot and Kazuki] As you two are so upfront and won't include any foul play, Hyperion forms several large flat barriers around your arms....then he collapses them to crush several sections of them. [Continue with crushed arms.]
Aero: [Yui] A bit too late you burned a lot of your energy there and the beam saber bits rip through the legs and chest of the macine. Damage is getting pretty bad for you too now.
Wyverncakes: * Jokes on you! Kazuki's used to this kind of crap pain! But more importantly... "G-geheh!" The Ruge Lances suddenly pop open, crackling with electricity before unleashing potent blasts straight into the Hyperion's backside!+
Aero: [Cheng and Matthew] Cheng you barely get Matthew out of that trap but your right leg was caught. It's just a mangled mess now.
cubey@aol.pl: * "Ghhh!" Tears gathering in her eyes, Deva's pilot knows one thing - she doesn't need arms for this attack. Remember the beam strings, Hyperion? They're still out - and Deva just has to twist its body slightly to send them whipping right at you again, over and over!+
VJockey: "Tch!" [That leg had missile launchers! he needed those... probably]
Arach: "Gah…persistent, aren't they!"
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Real..."
colesign@gmail.com: "Geh!" Matthew turns to look at Cheng's Mech. "Mechwarrior Cheng! What is your Mech's condition?"
Aero: [Deva Pilot and Kazuki] The beam strings whip the Hyperion over and over, thanks to the strings approaching from different angles each time the Hyperion had to continuously form new barriers to defend from it. This gives Kazuki all the time he needs to blast the golden machine with a overcharged Ruge Lance Beam. Despite this the machine is STILL moving even with it's back completely exposed now. Mysterium also now has time to send GIGANTIC BUZZSAW BITS at you. [React you two]
Aero: [Roux, Yui, Matthew go]
VJockey: "Minor damage. I still have enough weapons"
Aero: Also Kazuki well...there's green crystals forming on your hands right now.
colesign@gmail.com: "Good." Matthew feathers his jump jets and descends back down the ground. "The only way I can see us defeating the Hyperion is by overwhelming it with attacks. What other options are available?"
Wyverncakes: Welp, time to panick a bit at the sight of that.
Wyverncakes: BUT
Arach: Hmmm
Wyverncakes: "Not yet! There's still three of those things!"
Wyverncakes: "Pilot!" he shouts out to the Deva as the Mark Sein moves towards it!
Arach: What to do for Yui then if you do a cool finisher on Hyperion...
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...got ya!" *And with the Hyperion under siege by the Deva pilot, Roux manuevers the FA Mk-III around and upward before diving at the blown out back of the machine, beam sabers drawn and stuck out at its back+
VJockey: "Tactics. We need to find a way to use our enemies against each other! There may have been a reason the four generals were never on the field at the same time!"
Wyverncakes: * And at that, the Mark Sein then grabs holds of the Deva where its laser strings are coming from, letting its assimilation powers work their magic on the strings! "Use those on the blades!"+
Arach: *Shemhazai does a bit of a runaround as well, going for Hyperion with a flurry of energy punches!+
colesign@gmail.com: Matthew blinks. "The Remote Drones!" He exclaims. "We need to maneuver so that any drone attacks against us intersect with the Hyperion. The perfect counter for a barrier that can manifest at certain points is a weapon that can attack at multiple points!"
cubey@aol.pl: *This means Mark Sein is holding Deva's hands. But its pilot seems to process this new information much quicker than you'd expect from a normal, pained human being. The strings move out seemingly on their own, to grab the chainsaw bits and use their momentum against them - spin them and send one back at Mysterium, another at the Hyperiion.+
colesign@gmail.com: "Like that!" Matthew replies. "Cheng. Let us back up the Deva!"
VJockey: "Agreed!"
cubey@aol.pl: "I did not know you can do that..." The pilot sounds calm, but also a bit slow. Like if she was sedated.
VJockey: @ Kazuki and Felicita
Aero: [Roux] Remember the Caliban...yeah it can teleport and it does so to get in your way. The Adventus General AIs seem to be done with letting you deal with them one at a time. A full spherical barrier is formed to block your attack and as your beam saber bounces off of it the machine swings one of it's matching swords in your face. [React]
Aero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SHOvWhti98
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "it's a benefit of using this machine."
Aero: (Approved)
Wyverncakes: He looks down at his hand.
Wyverncakes: "One of the few benefits."
VJockey: *Cheng's going to give the Hyperion and Mysterium nowhere to go! He lays down firepower to ensure the only recourse is to take those saws or be blasted!!+
colesign@gmail.com: "Aff!" Matthew closes his eyes for a moment. "Nova…it is time for you to soar!" *He turns the throttle up to full speed, and the Nova takes off, darting like a falcon! It circle strafes around the Hyperion at stop speed, pouring on a barrage of lasers, constantly attacking the Hyperion at different angles and directions!+
HyprKnux 1: *And there goes the spark again! Giving it all she's got, Roux's going to put the Mk-III into a spin, hoping to use the momentum to bring the sabers around and parry!+ "You got the better of me when I fought the first time, but that was a year ago! I'm MUCH better now!"
colesign@gmail.com: *top speed.
Aero: [Yui and Cheng] Mysterium is annoyed now this time forming it's bits into a firing formation and intercepting your fists and shots with a massive barrage. In fact it even has time to form more beam saber bits to send at you guys. [React]
colesign@gmail.com: "Mechwarrior Cheng! Do it now!" Matthew shouts.
Aero: [Kazuki and Deva Pilot] Overwhelmed with all of the other attacks the buzzsaws rip through tearing off the arms and legs of the machine. Despite that...the machine isn't falling down. No of course not. There are now barrier limb replacements on them.
VJockey: *Saber bits? FUCK THAT! RAILCANNONS!+
Wyverncakes: Well...
Wyverncakes: "Barriers spent replacing limbs are barriers it can't attack us with."
Wyverncakes: At least not directly.
Aero: [Deva] Oh and the other buzzsaw is tossed at Mysterium but he just takes control of it again and sends it flying upwards.
cubey@aol.pl: "Sorry. I can't move my hands anymore..." Deva manages something that resembles a very weak shrug, but that's all.
Aero: Colomba: "Deva Pilot you need to keep fighting, that's an order."
cubey@aol.pl: "Yes." A calm response.
Wyverncakes: Kazuki's gritting his teeth.
Wyverncakes: "... Why's she making you do this?"
Arach: *You know what? Nevermind the foolishness, it's time to get crazy. Shemhazai ducks and weaves, and goes to grab two of the beam saber bits from behind them, on the small bit of not-laser the drone is made of. Dark energy flows over them, usurping Mysterium's control…Shemhazai uses its two newfound swords to try to deflect the remaining beam sabers.+
Wyverncakes: At least with him it was a matter of choice.
Aero: [Roux] And you successfully parry...but once the blades make contact she has already teleported behind you. the swords combined into it's beam launcher form...and she's firing it at point blank range. [React]
cubey@aol.pl: "That's... classified..."
HyprKnux 1: *Newtype flash again! She's not Amuro, she can't keep this up! The best she can do is raise up the shield and hope for the best!+
Aero: [Yui and Cheng] Several of the bits are completely destroyed by the railguns the others are cleaved apart by Yui's Grand Theft Bits. Mysterium isn't stopping though at it charges at the both of you again. This time with several buzzsaw sent at you. [React AGAIN]
Aero: [Kazuki and Deva Pilot go]
VJockey: *Maximum dakka! Torso autocannons, gatlig guns, wrist mounted machineguns and auto-grenade launchers AND the assault rifle! FUCK YOU BITS!+
Aero: [Roux] Both the shield and the arm holding it are completely blown away. It's absolutely relentless though, much like it's original pilot. It's already swinging at you AGAIN Roux. [React]
colesign@gmail.com: #Roux?
Aero: (Approved)
cubey@aol.pl: * "But... no one is making me do this." Deva inches away from the Mark Sein - and leaps into the air. "I fight... because I want to!" And dropkicks the Hyperion with pure speed and desperation, followed by smacking it with a swing of its now-almost-useless arms. Arms that can still blow a point-blank beam cannon shot in its face!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux's eyes go wide - the Mark III wasn't built to handle something so powerful! *Either way, she still has one arm left and she's going to try to parry it with her beam saber!+
Wyverncakes: * The Hyperion might not be down and out yet, but Kazuki can tell that the Mysterium's also being a very annoying fucker. And it's then that Kazuki has the Mark Sein bring out the chaingun from before! And one assimilation later and it's firing away at all those bits! At first the shots seem unremarkable... not even laser blasts like the usual assimilation stuff... but then the bullets begin to change direction to home in on targets! What's worse than lots of dakka? Lots of GUIDED dakka!+
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew pauses in his peppering of the Hyperion…to let off a full burst of five lasers at the back of the Caliban, just as it's about to swing at the Mk III again!+
Aero: [Deva] Both attacks are blocked by the barrier limbs. The Hyperion even catches the almost useless arm...and tears it off easily.
Arach: And at this, Yui gets a wicked smile.
Arach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wDmE6HeaOA&list=PL4C0337F700B8E11F&index=13
Arach: *She traces a summoning circle in the air with the new beam sabers, one much larger than her usual one… "Shemhazai! Burn it all to hell!" The circle bursts with power, and out comes roaring a seven-headed cluster of those dragon-beams! They each seek out a saw-bit, with the leftovers streaking straight for Mysterium!+
cubey@aol.pl: "!!" Soundless shock, no screaming this time.
Aero: [Yui, Cheng, Kazuki] Between a swarm of dragon beams, ALL OF THE DAKKA, and the homing bullets you all see the Mysterium get torn apart in front of you. The shield bits do nothing. As the bullets make scrap out of the machine the dragons devour whatever remains. There isn't even a single screw of the machine left.
Aero: MYSTERIUM DOWNED
Aero:
(Enemy List: Caliban (Yolanda AI ), Hyperion (Ham AI )

Aero: [Matthew and Roux] Roux your beam saber keeps you safe at least for the moment, when the lasers fly in the 360 degree barriers forms again to block them and in an instance Matthew the Caliban is behind you and thrusting those large super robot swords into you. [React]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Two down..."
cubey@aol.pl: #Matthew
Aero: [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva body-slams the Caliban. It's the only thing it can do, but it is fast enough to do just that. And in her current state, the pilot is able to notice where EXACTLY everything is on the battlefield.+
colesign@gmail.com: *Matthew's Nova Messenger has fins on it's back, as well as it's arms. Glowing orange hot fins that are sharp. Matthew tries to spin his mech around, slashing the Caliban first with his back fins, then his arm blades as soon as he brings them about!+
colesign@gmail.com: [Like a porcupine]
Aero: [Deva Pilot and Matthew] The Deva pilot does just that...body-slam Caliban out of the way of the attack. Which puts it right in the way of the head fins. It was a accident but still Deva Pilot, all of those glowing hot fins and arm blades stab into you. Caliban takes this chance to form the beam launcher again and fire it at the two of you. [React]
Aero: [Everyone is free to take their turns now]
VJockey: *Cheng is gonna rush up to Caliban and STAB IT IN THE HEAD!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Not this time!" *With the Caliban distracted, Roux's going to... well... do the same thing Cheng is, but aim for the chest+
cubey@aol.pl: *Deva tries to run away! Just kidding, after a single step it falls down and collapses to the ground from the damage. At least Caliban didn't expect THIS to happen, did it?+
Arach: *"Two down…" Shemhazai turns towards Hyperion, leaping for the larger unit's chest. The energy fields around its stolen beam sabers intensify, as it brings them in an x slash towards the Hyperion's chest. "Two to go!"+
Wyverncakes: * And Kazuki's going to shift his attention right back to the Hyperion! And at first the Mark Sein looks like it'll just be unloading the rest of its dakka on the machine's front... but remember! Bullets that can change direction! And they'll ideally loop around and strike into the machine's backside and wreck all those pesky barrier generators that've let it keep fighting!+
Aero: [Cheng and Roux and...Deva?] Of course Caliban is a cheating bitch and it teleports away while still charging it's Beam Launcher. Cheng and Roux the two of you will recognize this move though, because she's now high above all of you and firing the beam straight down at the downed Deva.
Aero: [React if you can?]
colesign@gmail.com: #Deva?
Aero: [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl: *Lying down on the ground, what can the devastated Mobile Suit do? Well, its pilot gathers her whole might and moves the sole remaining arm if only so slightly, to shoot out its beam cables at Caliban's beam launcher, to cut it to pieces BEFORE it can fire!+
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "Cheng, full throttle! Get out of its way!" *And she's going to do just that, pushing the Mk-III as fast as she can to evade that attack!+
VJockey: !!
colesign@gmail.com: "No!" Matthew cries out, as the Deva gets slashed and disabled. "You surat-spawned savarshi freebirth Bastards!!!" *He adds his lasers to the Deva's last ditch attempt. All of them. "ALPHA STRIKE!!!!"+
VJockey: *Cheng's gunning the engines!! He angles to evac the Deva if the cannon still fires though+
Aero: [Yui and Kazuki] Yui the Hyperion catches those beam sabers in it's barrier arms. Kazuki your shots ping off newly formed barriers on the back of the machine. You can see that the barriers are getting strained though. If only you had a few more attacks there...
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Just a little more firepower..."

Aero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffl4HDp-_S4
Wyverncakes: (Wrong chat. >_>)
Aero: [Matthew and Deva Pilot] Half of the beam launcher is destroyed but not before it's able to get it's shot off. It's off target though still it takes off another good chunk of your machine Matthew not to mention that you were fighting for so long with a heavily damaged machine. It finally shuts down. [Matthew downed] Deva at least is barely out of the way of the shot.
Aero: [Everyone can go again, make it good you guys]
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Yui... do you have any 'big guns' left. We need to pierce through the Hyperion's backside but we're coming up just shy."
VJockey: "Kazuki!"
cubey@aol.pl: *Since the arm is still aimed up, Deva has enough juice for one final shot. And that's what is it going to do - ULTIMATE SHOOTING! In other words, eat a very wide beam cannon blast, Caliban.+
VJockey: [Mech that is mostly gun]
Arach: Shemhazai lands on the ground from its earlier attack. "A few things come to mind…"
Wyverncakes: "Cheng?!?"
colesign@gmail.com: *Reactor Critical. Shutdown Initiated.* Matthew slams the override a bit too late. "Stravag…start up! Start up, damn you!"
HyprKnux 1: Roux's figured out Caliban's pattern now waits for it to teleport to take out the weakened Deva. *Once it does, it's going to be greeted by a beam saber to the back!+
VJockey: "I still have plenty of weapons! My railguns might be able to do something"
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "... They might be what we need."
Wyverncakes: Railgun shells would be big... there'd be a lot of stuff he could do with assimilating them.
VJockey: *and the guns fall into place! Ready to fire on Kazuki's go!&
Wyverncakes: * And the Mark Sein moves towards Cheng's machine before grabbing hold of the barrels of the railguns! One assimilation later and they're covered in green crystals, but the same goes for their shells! "So long as at least a few shards get through to the Hyperion, they ought to finish the job!" Indeed... they'll take root and spread across the machine, and hopefully choke it to "death". "Go for it!"+
Arach: *"I'll open up for you, then." Shemhazai gestures up in the air, and six of those laser drones appear in the air. They unload into Hyperion's back, while Shemhazai makes a number of slashes in the air, each one sending a blade of dark energy hurtling towards the barrier-using robot's weak spot.+
VJockey: "Roger that... FIRING!"
VJockey: *And cheng unleashes green crystal hell from
his railguns! His mecha was rocked violently by the shot!+
Aero: [Roux and Deva Pilot] It does exactly as you expect and teleports down after blocking the gigantic blast from Deva. The barrier was definitely getting weaker though as she had to teleport pretty early. However Roux she decides to go after you instead when she gets down there. Tanking the beam saber with it's other hand and stabbing it's sword into your shoulder. [Continue if you would like.]
cubey@aol.pl: # Roux
Aero: [The others] The Hyperion plays right into your hands, all of the barriers are focused on defending it's back. The storm of green crystal magic erupts out and slams into Hyperion blowing right through the chest, completely overwhelming the defenses of the machine. The barrier limbs collapse and the torso of Hyperion falls down. Not moving. [Hyperion Downed]
Aero: [Approved]
cubey@aol.pl: * Fwoosh! Something is flying through the air. "I still have... this..." The beam dagger will not work in its most destructive mode if it's not held, but it makes an emergency throwing weapon in a pinch - and the Deva threw it right at where Caliban's cockpit is supposed to be.+
HyprKnux 1: A gasp escapes Roux's lips as the blade goes into its shoulder... *though it does have something else - grenade launchers over its shoulders. Here, take some explosive goodness while she escapes!+
Aero: [Roux and Deva] The Grenades fire, this time Caliban doesn't even raise it's barrier. It's only superficial damage however the beam dagger does hit the cockpit...it doesn't stop it though and Deva Pilot it's sword is coming down at you.
Aero: [Everyone is free to take an action/react to this.]
Arach: #?
Aero: [Approved]
Wyverncakes: * At this point, Kazuki really knows he's pushing his luck with the whole assimilation woes thing, but things are down to the wire. Only the Caliban is left, and Kazuki's contribution to taking it down is to snipe the fucker with a supercharged beam blast from his assimialted beam rifle!+
Arach: *There's no real time to think or quip about it, is there? Yui just moves, without thinking. She drops the sword-bits as Shemhazai leaps over towards the Deva, landing in front of it to take the blow instead…but she doesn't get a shield up to defend. It's all offense, as Shemhazai channels what energy it has left into a punch-right on the dagger resting in its chest.+
HyprKnux 1: *Roux doesn't have much left, but if it helps, go for another round of grenades!+
VJockey: *Cheng... fired everything he had left. Why? For the glory of Gucun of course!+
Aero: [Everyone] Yui that sword came in a little too close for comfort but you successfully plunge the dagger into the cockpit of the machine. That disrupted it just long enough for everything else to follow. Completely annihilating the machine.
Aero: Somehow against overwhelming odds you all survived.
cubey@aol.pl: "Did I... do well?" The Deva's pilot breathes heavily.
Aero: Colomba: "...Yes, you did."
HyprKnux 1: Roux: "...holy... we did it!"
cubey@aol.pl: "Then it was all worth it. Thank you... Mother..." And suddenly, she falls silent. Likewise, the Deva goes limp, as if nothing cotrolled it anymore.
VJockey: "...."
Wyverncakes: Kazuki: "Mother?"
Wyverncakes: Also, he's getting the fuck out of the Mark Sein.
Arach: Something about what's been going on with the Deva pilot feels awful familiar…Shemhazai kneels down next to the mobile suit. "…Do you need some help recovering this unit?"
Wyverncakes: More time spent in it is just more time digging his own grave
Aero: Colomba closes her communications and soon enough a medical team is sent out to get Felicita.
Aero: Despite everything you've all come out alive against your old enemies.
Aero: Old friends as well.
Aero: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
