VJockey (01:42:15): PREVIOUSLY! On Super Robot Wars Unlimited Generation Alpha!
VJockey (01:43:06): Hirro Yuy - Murder of Pacifists.
Overman Zappa (01:43:50): Hiiro continues to silently grieve for his mistake. Not that anyone knows at all. They just think he dun fucked up!
VJockey (01:43:57): WIth his actions, OZ has increased its military production by a massive degree to not only keep up with other factions, but to hunt down the Gundams as well.
VJockey (01:44:24): But if things were bad enough before
VJockey (01:44:27): they got worse.
VJockey (01:46:03): As OZ was sending several aerial and ground convoys worth of weapons tech to and fro in their territories, one of the said convoys was attacked by the Shadow Knights! And the MASSIVE experimental bomber, as well as the absolutely devastating bomb it was designed to deploy was taken by them.
tengusaur (01:46:35): Raynor can tell for certain. He can sense those buggers, after all. And it doesn't make him happy.
Overman Zappa (01:46:43): Yet one more reason to justify eliminating OZ.
VJockey (01:46:46): The Chalice is currenly moving close by the projected flight path of the bomber. It shouldn't be too long before its in sight. What is everyone doing?
tengusaur (01:47:47): Raynor is already in Paragon, in its white and gold Paladin form. And he's making sure the bike is ready to go.
tengusaur (01:47:57): Raynor: "The Shadow Knights..."
Overman Zappa (01:47:58): Hiiro does what he does Best, sits in his Gundam and waits for orders or comBat. He's already well analyzed the situation.
Techy Elf resides here (01:48:00): Trowa's going over what footage he can of the bomber to figure out weaknesses, hopefully to help with battle tactics.
aldo salt (01:48:02): Matthew is looking forward to fighting with not just one, but two–two honorable military forces! Ah-ha-ha!
sketchbookfiend (01:48:03): Loran is just rjoyous over the aspect of dealing with more super bombs. And by joyous I mean he's really tired of them and frustrated.
aldo salt (01:48:22): Oh, and Matthew's in his Nova nad by Raynor.
aldo salt (01:48:24): *and
tengusaur (01:48:29): Raynor: "This is going to be a aerial battle. If you can't fly, I can take passengers."
Meraxa (01:49:07): Richard is... less than conspicuously tucked away in the 'pocket' as last time there were Shadow Knights involved.
HyprKnux 1 (01:49:16): Roux... has just about enough of this BS. "If it isn't one group of nutcases, it's another."
sketchbookfiend (01:49:25): White Doll was all fueled up and ready to go as it were.
Techy Elf resides here (01:49:32): Trowa: ... Because he's one of the most grounded gundams. "I may need a lift."
Meraxa (01:49:37): "So are we gonna maybe find out what the deal with that horse was...? Or better to just try and stop total destruction?"
sketchbookfiend (01:49:57): Loran: "Uh, I don't know if I can fly, I need to check."
sketchbookfiend (01:50:18): He's going to have his nose in his manual for a couple minutes, good job.
aldo salt (01:50:23): "I may ask to land on you when I need to recharge my jump jets, Paragon Raynor Joz." Matthew replies. "I will try not to rely on you too much, Trothkin."
HyprKnux 1 (01:50:49): Roux: "I'm taking the other Zeta Plus (because I highly doubt Amuro or Kamille'll let me use the Zetas), so if you need a lift, I can help there, too.
tengusaur (01:50:58): Raynor: "About the horse... You will find out soon. But let me assure you, it's not going to hurt any of us." He seems to smile cryptically as he says that, but his face is invisible so who kows.
VJockey (01:51:14): Ayame: "If you can't fly the techs in the hangar have prepared several Base Jabbers for usage. We're almost in range of the bomber, so I suggest you sort yourselves out as soon as possible."
tengusaur (01:51:57): Raynor: "Alright, ready!" He hops on the bike, leaving its backseat open for a giant robot passenger.
sketchbookfiend (01:52:11): Loran:"Yeah I'll get fitted with that, doesn't look like I can fly with the White Doll." Not yet anyways.
Meraxa (01:52:25): Richard grumbles to himself at the mention of base jabbers. "Not big enough... dammit..."
aldo salt (01:52:54): Matthew brightens at the sight of the Base Jabbers. "An ingenious idea! My thanks, Commander Ayame!"
Overman Zappa (01:53:42): Hiiro... as silent as ever.
tengusaur (01:54:18): Raynor: "When we're in range, please let us know instatly."
aldo salt (01:54:45): Matthew boards a Base Jabber, syncing up his control systems with the jet controls. "That shadow horse…has it become your ally, Raynor?"
Techy Elf resides here (01:55:18): Trowa's still going over what little he can find, though also looking at the assorted mech going on the mission.
sketchbookfiend (01:55:27): Loran looks at the Base Jabbers before boarding one ".Uh, okay see how that turns out for me."
tengusaur (01:55:51): Raynor: "Yes." And he revvs up the bike's engine. Two lights flash at its front, and they look like a pair of equine eyes!
aldo salt (01:57:24): "Stravag!" Matthew exclaims, having a Clanner-gasm at Raynor's little slice of epicness!
HyprKnux 1 (01:57:49): Roux heads for the spare Zeta Plus and boards it, giving it enough room before switching into Waverider Mode
VJockey (01:57:54): Dan: "Guys! The Bomber's in range! You should be able to see it no-...WHOA!"
VJockey (01:58:27): http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/069/0/3/utf___bomber___class_medusa_by_lock_mar-d4sb2tg.jpg
Overman Zappa (01:58:33): That gets Hiiro's attention.
tengusaur (01:58:58): Raynor: "I'm taking off! Take off to the skies, Pegasus!"
Overman Zappa (01:59:10): Hiiro: "Target confirmed. Commencing mission."
tengusaur (01:59:15): Music starts to play from Paragon's and Pegasus' speakers!
tengusaur (01:59:17): www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLW9dVtZiIo
sketchbookfiend (01:59:32): Loran stares at this, well he didn't expect that for...some reason.
VJockey (01:59:34): The bomber was... huge to say the least. Big enough to fit several mobile suits on its hull.
tengusaur (02:00:01): The bike's engine is turned on! The exhaust is powerful enough to work like a jet engine, and it takes off into the sky, fire trailing behind it!
Techy Elf resides here (02:00:17): Trowa's already moving for one of the sleds, hearing Hiiro's comment he holds his back.
tengusaur (02:00:58): While flying towards the bomber, Raynor is already pointing with his sword at it.
tengusaur (02:01:03): Raynor: "Go forth, my friends!"
aldo salt (02:01:10): Matthew stares at the Paragon's flight trail in awe. "Do not rush too far ahead, Paragon!" He shouts with a grin. "Mechwarrior Matthew, Nova Messenger and Base Jabber–Launching!" The Base Jabber and Nova shoot out of the hanger.
HyprKnux 1 (02:01:23): Roux: "Jeez, that thing's massive! Roux Louka in the Zeta Plus, heading out!"
sketchbookfiend (02:02:32): "Maybe we won't be flying as much as we figure." Loran comments and launches after everyone else.
Meraxa (02:02:36): Richard: R-Remember I'm still here when you try that! *Sweet christmas that was some acceleration. Now he just had to manage to get out of this pocket...and hopefully land right...*
Techy Elf resides here (02:02:57): Trowa: "Just means it's an easier target to hit." He's flicking on the weapons systems as the sled launches.
tengusaur (02:03:08): Raynor: "Don't worry, you should be perfectly soon right till we land!"
Overman Zappa (02:04:26): The Wing launches out, and wastes no time transforming to Bird mode.
VJockey (02:04:38): The path to the bomber is relatively straightforward. No signs of the Shadow Knights just yet though...
VJockey (02:05:25): SUDDENLY!
tengusaur (02:05:29): Raynor: "No sight of them yet... But I know they're here. My sense didn't fail me yet!"
VJockey (02:06:28): A large round tears through the air - past the Paragon, and another almost gets Wing Gundam!
sketchbookfiend (02:06:35): Loran: "You may have said that too soon."
VJockey (02:06:48): Its... not the Shadow Knights.
aldo salt (02:06:53): "Contact." Matthew replies, and toggles active targeting.
Overman Zappa (02:07:08): Dodge! Damn quick dodge at that.
VJockey (02:07:18): http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101114205351/gundam/images/thumb/b/b6/Tallgeese.jpg/420px-Tallgeese.jpg Tallgese - (Zechs Merquise)
tengusaur (02:07:28): Raynor: "That was close...!"
VJockey (02:07:33): http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060620224837/gundam/images/8/89/OZ-07AMS.CR.GIF Aries x 15
aldo salt (02:08:02): "A new mobile suit!" Matthew exclaims.
sketchbookfiend (02:08:13): Loran: "That guy again!?"
HyprKnux 1 (02:08:20): Roux: "...hey, wait!"
VJockey (02:08:23): "Hm. Right on time. Even if we couldn't catch that Gundam on its own, it won't be much of a matter."
tengusaur (02:09:17): Raynor: "This is a bit of a bad time for this! We're trying to stop the Shadow Knights before they bomb a city!"
aldo salt (02:09:59): "Aff." Matthew adds. "If you have honor and regards for civilians lives–join with us in stopping the bomber!"
Overman Zappa (02:11:02): Hiiro: "That unit directly targeted me... Is it the same pilot..." He's already thinking on engaging him, But there's the mission at hand.
VJockey (02:11:03): "We're here to apprehend - if not - eliminate - both groups who have been attacking us. We have no arguement with the rest of you."
Techy Elf resides here (02:11:14): Trowa: "Again?" Though Trowa's seeing the simularities between wing and tallgeese. "They're Oz. Talking sense into them won't be much use." He's not going to open fire with the gun arm yet, though he's tempted.
aldo salt (02:13:01): "I have a solution." Matthew responds. "If you are obligated to fight the Gundam, then let us hold a trial of combat: two units of your choosing fighting the Gundams, while the rest of us join forces to stop the bomber!"
sketchbookfiend (02:13:20): Loran: "Nobody is going to do that..."
VJockey (02:13:26): Oh Matthew. The likelyhood of that happening is-
VJockey (02:13:30): "I accept."
VJockey (02:13:33): Wait. WHAT?!
tengusaur (02:13:35): Raynor: "That might work, but I doubt they're... Woah."
sketchbookfiend (02:13:38): Loran: "What."
Techy Elf resides here (02:13:57): Trowa: "..."
aldo salt (02:14:06): "Well bargained and done." Matthew replies. Hmmm…. "Is that alright with you, Gundam Pilots?"
aldo salt (02:14:11): He should have asked that first.
aldo salt (02:14:20): Probably.
HyprKnux 1 (02:14:34): Roux: "..."
Overman Zappa (02:15:08): Hiiro: "Understood. Trowa, you handle the mission then."
sketchbookfiend (02:15:09): Loran: "Can we define the term gundam pilots"
tengusaur (02:15:43): Raynor: "Well, that settles things. Let's make haste then!"
tengusaur (02:15:53): Raynor: "...Don't lose."
Techy Elf resides here (02:16:03): Trowa: "Understood." He'd let Hiiro make the call. THough anything happened to the younger pilot he'd go after him.
HyprKnux 1 (02:19:02): Roux: "What have we gotten ourselves into?"
VJockey (02:19:17): With that Raynor and the others will have a group of thirteen Aries accompanying them to intercept the bomber - As for Roux, Lora and Hiiro...
VJockey (02:19:36): *Loran
VJockey (02:20:21): They've got the remaining two Aries and the Tallgeese facing them down
Overman Zappa (02:21:11): Hiiro: "Eliminate the weaker units, then return to the mission. I'll make sure this doesn't take long." And down to Gundam form, Hiiro draws his Beam Saver
aldo salt (02:21:26): Matthew moves on with the main group, cheerfully oblivious to how he roped the Gundam Pilots into a duel they may not have wanted.
HyprKnux 1 (02:21:55): Roux: "...this is nuts..."
sketchbookfiend (02:23:14): Loran: "Yeah, that seems to be a running theme."
Overman Zappa (02:23:22): Hiiro: "It's... surprisingly efficient." WAT? Hiiro agrees?
tengusaur (02:23:39): Leaving the duelling people behind, Raynor lands Pegasus on top of the bomber, leaving skid marks on it.
tengusaur (02:23:47): Raynor: "I know you're here..."
VJockey (02:24:24): ???: "And so you do Paragon." The tone was scathing to say the least...
Meraxa (02:24:35): Richard: ...I should get out now, shouldn't I?
tengusaur (02:24:55): Raynor: "Yes, quickly! It's him again!"
VJockey (02:25:08): As one the Shadow Knights begin to seemingly phase into existence from the many nooks and crannies of the Bomber.
Techy Elf resides here (02:25:35): Trowa continue's on to finish the mission, he's not too happy about leaving Hiiro there, but it was the better choice that could be made, he wasn't going to let more innocents die. Jumping from the sled he's on he lands on the bomber oops, sorry about the slight dent in the hull
Meraxa (02:26:11): Richard: *scrambles up and out of the pocket now he has the chance. He's briefly blown back by basic air resistance, but quickly swaps for Ideigi which... kinda scrambles to grab ahold of the craft and not fall off*
aldo salt (02:27:11): Matthew stands by circling in the Jabber, ready to pour down medium range support fire.
VJockey (02:27:55): "This is where your journey ends Paragon - and then.... you will join us. Come my brothers... Let us welcome him to the fold!"
aldo salt (02:28:26): Matthew blinks. "The Stravag?"
VJockey (02:28:34): http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/champion.jpg.html (Shadow Champion)
VJockey (02:28:44): http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/beast.jpg.html (Shadow Beast)
tengusaur (02:28:57): Raynor: "What are you talking about now?"
VJockey (02:29:00): http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/wingedknight.jpg.html (Winged Shadow Knight)
VJockey (02:29:27): Objective: Defeat the Shadow Knights, Stop the Bomber, Defeat Zechs
aldo salt (02:29:32): Matthew exhales as he begins to get it. "All the Shadow Knights…they were once–"
tengusaur (02:30:02): Raynor: "They have wings now..."
VJockey (02:30:24): Initiative: (Raynor, Hiiro, Matthew, Roux, Richard, Trowa, Loran)
VJockey (02:31:01): Enemies (Bomber): Shadow Champion, Shadow Beast, x18 Winged Shadow Knights
VJockey (02:31:16): Enemies (Duel): Tallgeese (Zechs), x2 Aries
VJockey (02:31:31): NOTE: You can recieve support from the Aries
VJockey (02:31:42): *if you are on the Bomber team
tengusaur (02:31:56): Raynor: "And there's a lot of them. No matter!"
VJockey (02:32:49): (Raynor, Hiiro - GO!)
aldo salt (02:32:59): "The courage of our conviction shall carry us through!" Matthew adds. On a private channel, he calls Raynor, voice etched with concern. "Be very careful, Paragon…now is a time that I think will test you…"
tengusaur (02:33:15): Music blasts from Paragon's speakers towards the enemies!
tengusaur (02:33:15): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI_WnyOPF04
tengusaur (02:34:54): * Raynor: "I won't let you drop a bomb on any city! Take this - Radiant Striiiike!" He sheathes his sword in a golden aura and swings it, sending a cutting wave of light towards the closest group of winged Shadow Knights! +
Overman Zappa (02:40:33): *Hiiro takes a second to size up his opponent, that Tallgeese, Before dashing in, taking a swing with the Beam saBer, putting enough force into the swing to expect to cut through it's shield, even if it's mounted on it's arm.+
VJockey (02:42:01): Raynor! Several of the Shadow knights take flight to avoid the blow! But three of them stand their ground and parry you blade with their halberds!
VJockey (02:42:10): "Suffer...."
VJockey (02:42:15): "Join us..."
VJockey (02:42:24): "Feel our suffering...."
aldo salt (02:42:44): "You will not get what you came for, Shadow Knights!" Matthew calls out. * "Nova Burst!" He opens fire on the aerial Shadow Knights bugging Raynor with a five laser burst!
aldo salt (02:42:49): +
tengusaur (02:43:02): Raynor: "They're both more talkative and more powerful than before..."
VJockey (02:44:50): Hiiro! Your Saber soon clashes with with another - It looks like the Tallgeese isn't one to go down without a fight so easily. In fact, the white machine is pushing hard against the Gundam's attack! Its vernians burning at full power! "Don't take me for a defenseless old man Gundam. This won't be as easy for you at all." React.
VJockey (02:47:44): Matthew! Your unexpected attack takes one of the Shadow Knights in the shoulder - between the music and your yell its corporeal enough that it does a good amount of damage!... However... you now have four knights sending blasts of shadow at the Nova, while the one you injured throws his own halberd at you at frighteningly high speeds! React!
VJockey (02:48:05): (Roux, Richard. Go)
VJockey (02:48:26): "Die"
tengusaur (02:48:28): #
Overman Zappa (02:48:39): *Oooh, attacking the feels now, huh? His crewmates won't make him flinch, and neither will you. However, the force there was surprising! Rather than continuing the clash, Wing veers to the left, parrying the force off to one side, only to use his shield to hit across the Tallgeese's side +
VJockey (02:48:53): approved
aldo salt (02:49:14): *Matthew pulls a version of an Open Get, jump jetting and pushing off the Base Jabber and letting it flying on autopilot! He returns fire with a chain-linked group of lasers+
tengusaur (02:50:20): * "Haa~!" Raynor is suddely in the way of the thrown halberd, blocking its way with his shield. The symbol of the Paragon flashes on the shield and a bright flash of light emits from it! +
Meraxa (02:51:09): Richard: Come... on... *Richard struggles to get Ideigi up on its feet, but in doing so, begins to have it charge. A sword forms in hand, and he charges towards... The Shadow Beast! Let's see what a good swing from the Paladin Blade can do!+
VJockey (02:51:19): Hiiro, you'll find that the Tallgeese is not just for show. It manages to protect its side with its shield for the most part before boosting away with a solid kick - getting nothing more than an ugly gouge through the protection. Zechs soon fires a dober gun round - hitting you in the arm.
VJockey (02:54:03): Matthew! You'll find that... one of the blasts puts a nasty hit on the base jabber and another glances at the Nova's armor. The others don't hit anything though - and the thrown halberd doesn't make it anywhere thanks to Raynor's inteference! The Chain-linked lasers unfortunately don't do much this time, the Shadow Knight in question had taken to the air - the shots carving angry orange-yellow scars against the armor of the bomber!
HyprKnux 1 (02:56:50): *And Roux makes her move, the Zeta Plus' hip beam cannons firing at the other Aries as it moves in closer+
VJockey (03:00:52): Richard! The Ideigi's blade cuts through the Shadow Beast - it feels like you're using a dull knife to slice through insanely thick jelly - and its not long before your sword passes through completely. The beast isn't solid enough to do enough damage to - and if anything your attack has merely REALLY got it... perturbed. It lets out a downright animalistic snarl before it throws itself at Ideigi - grabbing onto it to repeatedly attack it in the face! React!
Meraxa (03:03:51): Richard: Get... off! *And Ideigi is gonna respond with more slashes, including a..* BURNING SLASH! *Because if the sword just phases through, he can at least see what happens with magic fire+
VJockey (03:05:41): Roux! The Beamfire screams through the air - and for a moment it seems you've almost got the Aries! Then it does something absolutely insane. Its weaving through the shots. Rather than a predictable evasion to try avoid the beamfire completely - its using its reduced profile from its flight mode as well as the spacing between the hip guns to make a beeline straight to the Zeta Plus with nothing more than a few unsightly scars - firing its chaingun at you all the while! React!
VJockey (03:07:38): Richard! The slash manages to dislodge the beast, sending it across the hull of the bomber. Its missing an arm, and has a massive scar across its body... but you would notice... that its growing three arms from that stump you just made. Its not pleased at all.
HyprKnux 1 (03:08:36): Roux: "Wha...?! What kind of pilot is that in there?!" *Not wanting to test the Zeta Plus' armor, Roux's gonna start dodging and weaving through the shots the best she can, firing back if she can+
Meraxa (03:09:11): Richard: ...This is not gonna go well...
tengusaur (03:10:56): Raynor: "Stand strong. We can't afford to fail!"
VJockey (03:12:34): When one considers the dated machinery OZ's army is made up of, there are only two kinds of pilots they would have. Cannon Fodder who barely last a day... and elites that survived through sheer grit. There's no need to guess which one she was facing. One of Roux's shots takes off an arm from the Aries - as well as its Chaingun. But apparently this is nothing more than an inconvenience to its pilot. It flies upwards - back to the sun - before rushing it and delivering a heavy punch with its other hand across the Zeta Plus' head! Moving past after the strike.
VJockey (03:13:01): (Trowa, Loran go)
sketchbookfiend (03:13:23): *Loran is going to make some shots at the remaining Aries with his beam rifle. Specifically he's going to take aim at that massive shoulder...booster...flyer...thing+
HyprKnux 1 (03:13:47): Roux: "Ack!"
Techy Elf resides here (03:15:27): *Trowa debates shooting the surface he's on only to change plans, opening fire on some of the winged mech around the bomber, He figures take them down first then deal with his platform. Unless they get too close to their target, then well... if he had to he had the self detonation device still active.
VJockey (03:17:00): Loran! The other Aries is practically dancing through the air away from the beamfire - one shot all but grazes past its shoulder/engine, but its not enough. Your weapon unfortunately is no Beam Magnum - and the Aries is now returning the favor by unleashing missiles at your base jabber. React.
sketchbookfiend (03:18:57): Loran:"Woah!" *It's no Beam Magnum but it's nothing to sneeze at either. Anyways the White Doll is going to swerve his jabber to the side to dodge away from the missiles, taking another shot at the Aries+
VJockey (03:20:16): Trowa! The Shadow Knights are dodging away from your weaponsfire - but you manage to nail one pretty badly in the wing as it tried to avoid your shots - its momentum has it slam into the hull, slide across it and have it all but annihalated by the bomber's engines. In retaliation for the loss of one of their own, a pair of Shadow Knights are rushing at the Heavyarms. One high, the other low. Both intending to take the fight up close. React.
VJockey (03:21:41): Loran! Your shot manages to clip one of the Mobile Suit's legs! However - a pair of the missiles have struck the jabber - its still functioning - but it feels like its tilting a little.
Techy Elf resides here (03:21:44): Trowa: "Go down easier than I thought." *He targets the one coming at him from on high, firing with one of his missles. Take that!
aldo salt (03:22:10): #Trowa?
VJockey (03:22:19): (approved)
sketchbookfiend (03:22:55): Loran: "Ah- you got to be kidding me! These guys are way better than I expected." Fighting Leos back when he was green has ruined his perspective on OZ apparently.
aldo salt (03:23:45): "Not so fast!" Matthew calls out. *"Alpha Strike!" He fires off a full salvo at the Shadow Knight coming in low at the Heavyarms while moving on jump jets.+
VJockey (03:23:52): (Richard, Hiiro. Your go again)
tengusaur (03:24:11): (how many normal Knights remaining?)
VJockey (03:24:50): (so far? 17 - less once Matthew and Trowa are done with the react. WHICH I AM WAITING ON TROWA ON)
tengusaur (03:25:05): (you got one already)
Meraxa (03:25:11): Richard: *Stabs his sword into the bomber with one arm, to try and use as an anchor. His other, begins to glow...* SOLAR PUNCH! *Because he's throwing an energy fist towards the Shadow Beast.+
VJockey (03:25:25): (wait. I meant Raynor)
VJockey (03:25:50): (nevermind. Raynor go too)
tengusaur (03:25:50): Raynor: "Cover me!"
Overman Zappa (03:25:57): *This guy was Better than he was in his Leo. Assuming it was the same guy. But since he drew first, Hiiro draws his Buster Rifle and fires, and you know damn well Hiiro isn't one likely to miss, especially this close. But if he does... +
Techy Elf resides here (03:26:18): *Trowa was stepping back as Matthew fired on the one coming in low, he had been prepared to dodge it, but gave a small grin at the shipmate's action.
VJockey (03:27:32): Trowa and Matthew! The knights are obliterated... however... Matthew's... overzealous attack may or may not have damaged the Jabber the Heavyarms was using. Oops.
tengusaur (03:28:05): *Raynor hops on Pegasus and charges forward, smashing into any Shadow Knights on his way like a fiery comet and cutting into them with his sword! The charge ends with the Shadow Champion, where he raises the blade above his head, making its golden aura grow double in size, and then brings it to strike as he jumps from the bike's seat! "Why do you do this? Why do you keep attacking innocents to lure me out for a challenge?! Smiiiiite Eeeeeviiiiil!"
tengusaur (03:28:32): Raynor receives some covering fire from the OZ forces. And all this time, he plays the music! +
tengusaur (03:28:44): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcG6xt5-iwQ
VJockey (03:34:02): Raynor! The Aries' covering fire scatters the knights from your path - leaving you with a clear ride straight towards the Shadow Champion - concentrated fire even accounts for another one of the knights!
VJockey (03:34:08): As for the champion though...
VJockey (03:36:00): "SMITE GOOD!" The Shadow Champion is counter-charging! His own massive blade wreathed in darkness as he unleashed a rising swing to counter your slash! The impact between the two opposing attacks sending both you and him backwards across the bomber with a massive explosion - rattling the craft!
VJockey (03:38:08): "You ask why we do this Paragon... we do so out of SPITE! We used to be human like yourself. Full of honor and good intentions... and now..."
VJockey (03:38:43): "We are reduced to this! The Pitiful Creatures that stand before you are all that remain of good men that did what they could for this world!"
tengusaur (03:39:29): Raynor: "This again? I don't believe you! What proof do you have you're not just lying?"
VJockey (03:41:00): Hiiro... Your shot - HITS. But just barely - you manage to take one of the Tallgeese's arms. But that doesn't seem to be a concern for Zechs as he's closes in and lashes across the gundam's body with his beam saber - leaving a vicious scar across its body!
aldo salt (03:41:27): "And why?" Matthew calls out. "How have you been reduced to this state?"
VJockey (03:42:45): "And you deny us once again. Very well... If you survive this battle... Search for the body of Alex Globing! Then you will see the truth - and even if you fail.. it does not matter. You will join us.... sooner or later."
Overman Zappa (03:42:55): Hiiro: "Not Bad..."
VJockey (03:43:04): As if to punctuate the Knight's words... the bomber rattles again
VJockey (03:43:37): Dan: "GUYS! THE BOMB! THE BOMB! ITS-"
tengusaur (03:43:46): Raynor: "What?!"
Techy Elf resides here (03:43:50): Trowa actually has to grab the hull of the bomber this time, deft feet or not
VJockey (03:45:22): Ayame: There's a vicious cuss ringing across the comms. "The bomb's been deployed! There's no way to shoot it down either - the armor on that thing's too thick to penetrate with conventional weaponry!"
Meraxa (03:45:53): Richard: ...Conventional is hardly a term I'd use with us...
HyprKnux 1 (03:45:59): Roux: "No!"
tengusaur (03:46:02): Raynor: "Damnit! I will..."
Overman Zappa (03:46:04): Hiiro: "Not conventional weaponry? Understood."
aldo salt (03:46:07): "Then divert it!" Matthew shouts. "Alter it's course!"
tengusaur (03:46:15): Raynor starts running towards the edge of the bomber!
Overman Zappa (03:46:17): Hiiro is 100% prepared to fuck this duel. Mission first.
tengusaur (03:47:10): And when he reaches it, Paragon jumps down, turning around in mid-air like a diver!
VJockey (03:47:31): Zechs is prepared for that as well it seems - the aries that had joined him in this duel also cease their attacks.
Meraxa (03:47:37): Richard: Raynor! What are you?!
tengusaur (03:47:48): Raynor: ""Paragon of Sacrifice! Change, Tinker form!"
tengusaur (03:48:08): The robot changes into its purple form as it heads down towards the bomb! Hopefully it will fall faster than it...
Techy Elf resides here (03:48:10): Trowa: "Hiiro stay put. I only used one missile so far."
tengusaur (03:48:25): Raynor: "If it can't be destroyed, then I'm going to disarm it before it hits the ground!!"
tengusaur (03:48:42): Music switches!
tengusaur (03:48:42): www.youtuberepeat.com/watch?v=KRpw-8vxZag
Techy Elf resides here (03:49:04): Trowa's running after Raynor as he goes. "If you can get a hole in the armor... I have enough rockets to deal with it
Overman Zappa (03:49:15): Wing transforms to Bird mode, mounting the Buster rifle on the shield, and takes off. "Losses aren't acceptaBle here. I'm prepared to use the Buster rifle of the Paragon fails. Tallgeese pilot, assist in slowing the BomB's descent. Clear out if I give the word."
Meraxa (03:50:13): Richard: ...I-I'll get the bomber, I guess... *No way he can follow, so... Ideigi is going to clamber its way towards the cockpit. Please let autopilot be on...*
sketchbookfiend (03:52:51): Loran is kind of glad he is not getting his jabber shot to hell but now he is trying to focus on the actual issue. "You're not going to be able to slow it down by yourself are you?" Not that Loran can do much...not that he knows of.
VJockey (03:54:17): "I intend to Gundam. Try not to make a mess of things."
VJockey (03:54:50): Unfortunately for everyone...
HyprKnux 1 (03:54:56): Roux: "...right now, I think staying back is good enough..."
tengusaur (03:55:00): Raynor: "Slow down, no. But if it's slow enough on its own...!" He's getting ready to land on the giant bomb.
VJockey (03:55:06): it seems the Shadow Knights aren't willing to let things go like this...
VJockey (03:55:33): They're now all abandoning the bomber en-masse! And there seems to be more of them than before now!
VJockey (03:56:02): Enemies: Shadow Champion, Shadow Beast (Injured [?]), Winged Knights x30
VJockey (03:56:39): (Zechs and the Aries are now allies and will support)
VJockey (03:57:35): (Roux, Trowa, Loran. Go)
Overman Zappa (03:57:36): Hiiro, for now, has a lock on the Bomb itself. But he's not firing... not until things go wrong or right with Raynor. Don't fail, Paragon...
Techy Elf resides here (03:59:01): *Trowa's pulling back from the edge of the hull targeting the winged knights that are swarming, hoping to take a few out to help the others dealing with the bomb.
VJockey (03:59:02): Richard! (apologies for the delay) Your Solar Punch smashes the beast right in the face! And it intends to return the favor as it charges at you with insane speeds! Launching a triple uppercut to Ideigi's head before swinging its tail at you! React!
HyprKnux 1 (03:59:05): Roux: "Welp, I guess this solves things!" *With that, Roux pulls the Zeta Plus into a dive, taking aim at the Winged Knights and firing both the beam rifle and hip beam cannons at them+
aldo salt (03:59:06): "Neg!" Matthew shouts. "I will not let your bitter interfere with the Paragon's goal!" He moves to fire support.
aldo salt (03:59:19): (Non-action.)
sketchbookfiend (04:00:46): Loran: "Oh ... That's...a lot of guys," *The White Doll decides to stand and adjusts it's position to make up for the tilting of the jabber and start making more powerful shots with his beam rifle at the Knights.+
aldo salt (04:01:06): *bitterness.
Meraxa (04:01:35): Richard: You're still here?! *Richard tries to bring up his shield, knowing how magic had served him thus far* GUARDIAN SHIELD! *A barrier spreads out from the shield. A barrier which he'll try and use to bash the beast aside as well+
VJockey (04:03:59): Trowa! Roux! Loran! Your combined fire helps keep several of the knights off of Raynor and the bomb - however... a large number of them retaliate - you may wish to avoid the massed blasts of shadow rushing at you. REACT
HyprKnux 1 (04:04:50): *And Roux's gonna go into a spin, moving to the side "upward" to avoid the blast+
VJockey (04:06:30): Richard! The Beast is struck by the shield, scrabbling across the hull, it snarls as its other - singular arm mimics its now multiplied opposite. "KIIIIIILL!!!!" It charges you again! Slashing wildly at the barrier - weakening it enough to deliver a thunderous drop kick that sends Ideigi staggering!
aldo salt (04:06:38): #Richard?
VJockey (04:06:49): (denied)
Techy Elf resides here (04:07:00): Trowa: "..." He almost wishes he still had the sled, though he throws Heavyarms back using the jump jets to do a flip so that he lands back on his feet. Maybe showing off a little.
sketchbookfiend (04:07:54): *Loran decides the best idea is to dodge through the fire but keep his general position, shield in front of himself and making a few more pot shots into the crowd of Winged Knights.+
VJockey (04:08:57): Roux! You manage to evade most of the shots - though one manages to blow off one of the Zeta Plus' legs.
VJockey (04:10:48): Trowa! Your honed reflexes - despite the low agility of your Gundam - has you evade all of the shots directed at you as you land on the bomb feet first.
VJockey (04:12:00): Loran! Your shield takes a serious battering. You account for another two knights.... but... your base Jabber took several hits. And is now more or less... losing altitude. Rapidly. You may notice you're falling faster than the bomb.
VJockey (04:12:39): (Raynor, Hiiro, Richard, Matthew)
sketchbookfiend (04:13:36): Loran: "OKAY! THIS WASN'T THE BEST IDEA!"
HyprKnux 1 (04:13:58): Roux: "ACK"
tengusaur (04:14:15): *Raynor lands heavily on the bomb, and instantly gets on his feet. "Ugh... I made it!" There's no time to waste - he scrambles over to the bomb's control panel, extends half a dozen precise tools from Paragon's left hand and starts to manipulate the controls with them, trying to disarm the bomb. &
tengusaur (04:14:39): Raynor: "Luckily the Tinker form is good with everything mechanical..."
VJockey (04:15:46): Raynor! You get to work on the bomb. Thanks to the others you're making somewhat good progress.....
VJockey (04:15:48): however.
Meraxa (04:17:15): Richard: Need you out of the way... *Richard can only go on the offensive against this monster... and so be it. An arm is one thing, but let's see it try to heal up its freaking head!* Burning Slash! *Especially when a magic wave of heat is sent at it!+
sketchbookfiend (04:17:49): Loran is going to radio the Chalice to maybe send out another Base Jabber he can jump to. You know unless he thinks of a better idea but the Aries would probably get mad if he thought about piggy backing them.
VJockey (04:18:18): The Shadow Champion - who up to this point was observing things from the Bomber has decided to get in on the act - leaping from it and going on a straight dive towards the bomb! The Winged Knights between him and it assist by giving him momentum and launching him towards it as he kicks off from their awaiting hands - teleporting the moment the distance closed enough for him to teleport right up to Richard to swing down his blade at him! REACT!
Techy Elf resides here (04:19:03): #Richard
VJockey (04:19:17): *Raynor
Techy Elf resides here (04:19:26): (Yeah)
Overman Zappa (04:19:51): *Given Hiiro's particularly waiting for the BomB plan to go wrong, he'll give Raynor time he needs, taking a shot with the Buster Rifle at the Winged knights trying to tail the BomB +
tengusaur (04:20:03): * The Tinker form is really bad at defense! All Raynor can do is try to block the attack with his only available free arm, while his other one keeps working on the bomb! Well, this and he fires several missiles from the ports in Paragon's back, aiming at the Champion. +
tengusaur (04:20:19): Raynor: "I... will not move...!"
tengusaur (04:20:28): Raynor: "If I stop, all those people will die...!"
VJockey (04:20:35): "Then you will perish with them"
VJockey (04:21:01): (approved)
tengusaur (04:21:27): (music's on repeat, so it's still playing. Just so you know)
VJockey (04:21:51): Loran! Good news, there's a base Jabber on its way - it catches you - albeit a little heavily. You might have rattled something in it from the impact.
sketchbookfiend (04:22:41): Loran: "Ah!" The White Doll steadies itself, setting into a kneeling position so he doesn't just straight fall over. "Okay I think I'm good."
VJockey (04:23:24): Richard! The Beast leans back and catches the burning blade with all six arms - nevermind that they're burning away, the Beast rushes under the sword - growing another pair to repeatedly punch the Ideigi in the torso before its six other ones are completely annihalated! React!
aldo salt (04:23:39): Matthew takes aim at all the flying Shadow Knights. *"Nova Lightshow!" He goes to work on anti-air support.+
aldo salt (04:24:03): "Fight, Raynor! Show them the folly of their conceits!"
VJockey (04:25:23): Matther, Hiiro! Your massive amounts of PEW PEW has the same effect as a floodlight does in a dark room. Light. Lots of it. Multiple knights are obliterated - though you now have halberds being chucked at you.
aldo salt (04:25:35): "Show them your true power!"
VJockey (04:25:37): (Trowa? Your support?)
Techy Elf resides here (04:26:05): +Trowa smirks inside Heavyarms and taps the Champion with the normal arm of heavyarms. "Forgetting someone?" The gatling gun opens fire as soon as it is right at point blank.
Overman Zappa (04:27:06): *This is why Hiiro has a shield. Metal HalBerds against that reinforced shield. Sure, it's surely Best against Bullets, But a wall of metal is a wall of metal! Shield defend!+
VJockey (04:28:20): Raynor! You barely manage to fend off the Champion with that arm - it is almost split in two from the impact of the sword - the missile storm has him stagger back though - and before he can launch another attack...
VJockey (04:28:43): He gets a facefull of Dakka from Trowa - sending him crashing across the bomb's surface.
tengusaur (04:29:03): Raynor: "Thanks!"
Meraxa (04:29:04): Richard: Kuh-! *Richard can feel the hits shake him about inside Ideigi's cockpit. The blade is dropped, meaning he'll have to try close range...* SOLAR PUNCH! *Even if this was meant for long range. How's its face gonna hold up?+
Techy Elf resides here (04:29:38): Trowa: "How's disarming it?"
aldo salt (04:29:44): *Matthew takes aim at the incoming Halbred….he inhales, and exhales. Then…"Nova Shot!" Four lasers, two from each arm, all aimed at the incoming halbred.+
tengusaur (04:30:11): Raynor: "It's a work in progress!"
Overman Zappa (04:34:14): #Raynor (via Zechs)
VJockey (04:34:30): Matthew! Hiiro! Your defensive measures work! More or less. In Hiiro's case he now has multiple halberds sticking out of his shield.
VJockey (04:34:39): (Denied. Raynor's already safe)
tengusaur (04:34:51): (for a certain definition of safe)
VJockey (04:34:58): (Indeed)
Overman Zappa (04:35:24): Like soldiers in the days of yore, Hiiro just cuts the halBerds off By shaving them off with the Beam off.
sketchbookfiend (04:36:51): Loran: "You could have just pulled them out"
VJockey (04:36:58): Richard! Your Solar Punch actually goes the extra mile - it practically deforms the Beast's head - blowing off a huge chunk of it! The impact has it flip backwards repeatedly before it lands on its feet. It growls lowly, tilting its head at you in a disturbing way with the barely half- head it has.
VJockey (04:37:11): (Roux, Loran, Trowa go)
sketchbookfiend (04:38:26): (enemy count?)
VJockey (04:42:26): Enemies: Shadow Champion (Injured), Shadow Beast (Badly Injured), Winged Knights x 12
Techy Elf resides here (04:42:50): *Trowa continues to keep the Champion back with gatling fire so Raynor can work.
HyprKnux 1 (04:44:01): *Seems like the Champion's being dealt with, time to deal with the small fry still, firing away at the Winged Knights with beam fire.+
sketchbookfiend (04:46:11): *Loran is going to take to a different angle, higher than before, swing a bit closer and then fire off Beam shots towards the Wing Knights+
VJockey (04:48:38): Trowa! The Champion is backing of for a few brief moments - it looks like you had him pinned. Then he teleported RIGHT in FRONT of you - spitting his sword into two and SLASHING down at your arms! React or be disarmed!
VJockey (04:49:49): Loran! Roux! You scatter the remaining knights - there aren't any taken down by this barrage - they've been a lot more prepared since Heero and Matthew's barrage! But now you've got a mix of halberds and shadow blasts on your way!
VJockey (04:50:33): And as if to make things more difficult...
Techy Elf resides here (04:51:13): +Trowa yelps back stepping, he's cool with losing the heavy arm, after all he has a surprise up his sleeve if needed. The normal-ish arm drops down as he steps back, getting it out of the way.
HyprKnux 1 (04:51:14): Roux: "Oh, no you don't!" *And Roux moves to dodge the blasts while firing the Zeta Plus' vulcans to shoot down the halberds.+
VJockey (04:51:19): "What are you all doing?! Your orders were to capture - or eliminate the Gundam! Not assist it!"
VJockey (04:52:01): There was a cold, authoratative voice ringing over the comms. And whoever she was, she was not pleased by Zechs descision here.
VJockey (04:53:04): "Ignore the bomb and the others. Focus on attacking the Gundam! Now!"
VJockey (04:53:27): It seems that there is indecision amongst the Aries
sketchbookfiend (04:54:08): *White Doll dodges the halberds and blasts by going down in a diagonal path, and aims upwards into the Winged Knights to make a couple more shots at them.+
tengusaur (04:54:09): Raynor: "No! Don't you care if the bomb goes off?!"
HyprKnux 1 (04:54:41): Roux: "Things'll get a lot worse if you do this!"
aldo salt (04:54:55): "It is your choice." Matthew declares. "Save the lives of millions, or follow that order and let them die."
sketchbookfiend (04:55:15): Loran: "Don't you have any feelings for anything except a stupid mission!?"
aldo salt (04:55:24): "Stravag, help us! Please!"
VJockey (04:56:32): "Either you deal with the Gundam now or face the consequences. Your choice. That was the point of the transports in the first place."
VJockey (04:56:45): "The Collateral damage doesn't matter so long as the objective is achieved"
VJockey (04:58:36): Enemies: Shadow Champion (Injured), Shadow Beast (Badly Injured), Winged Knights x 12, Aries x15
VJockey (04:59:06): And with that... The Aries open fire on the Wing Gundam. React Hiiro
tengusaur (05:00:07): Raynor: "Damnit, they wouldn't listen..."
aldo salt (05:00:13): "We offer sanctuary aboard the Chalice to those who fear the consequences of defying this order!" Matthew declares. "For you and…" Think, think… "You and your families! Stravag! Stravag!"
VJockey (05:00:17): Roux! Loran! You manage to avoid most of the attacks aside from a few minor scratches. And in the case of the latter - manage to down another one!
sketchbookfiend (05:00:25): Loran: "That's insane! You could do this objective any time but instead you're going to be stubborn and let innocent people die, you would be the one paying for it more than anyone else if you stop us! Why are people so stupid?"
HyprKnux 1 (05:01:30): Roux: "This is just insane! Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?!"
sketchbookfiend (05:02:35): Loran:"Actually that's a good question!"
Overman Zappa (05:03:44): *initially, Hiiro stands Behind his shield, But in short order, he flips into Bird mode and takes to the skies, straight up to avoid Being shot.+
VJockey (05:04:33): Hiiro! Your Gundam is battered by sustained Chaingun fire - but thankfully its minor and you avoid the worst of it. The Aries are chasing after you now.
VJockey (05:05:07): (Raynor, Hiiro, Matthew, Richard.)
Overman Zappa (05:07:13): *Being chased, lovely. Well the, fine... fine. IN mid-air, Hiiro makes a quick transformation, turns face, and fires down at the Aeries chasing him. They're no longer friendlies, so he has no quarrel shooting them down. They're OZ anyway+
tengusaur (05:07:53): * "I can't let you stop me from disarming this...! Auto-targetting, go!" While Raynor keeps working on disarming the bomb, where his main focus lies, the targetting system in his cockpit starts pinging, locking onto the remaining Winged Knights and their leader. And when it's locked on fully, he fires a swarm of seeker missiles from his back - enjoy your Itano Circus! +
aldo salt (05:09:29): "Blood of Kerensky, do you of Oz have no honor?"
HyprKnux 1 (05:10:22): Roux: "Apparently not."
aldo salt (05:10:23): *Matthew this out and unleashes a Nova lightshow, targeting wing units of the Ares.+
aldo salt (05:10:45): *cries
Meraxa (05:10:48): Richard: Get out. Of. My. WAY! SOLAR PUNCH! *Richard charges across the surface of the bomber, his fist glowing brightly... but he doesn't plan to release until he can try and get it in the gut - and blow it into the sky!+
VJockey (05:13:01): Raynor! Your missiles do a bang up job of accounting for the remaining winged knights... but the Champion refuses to be denied! He's carving the missiles up - letting himself be bathed in the explosions and flame as he charges right at you to deliver a massive swing! REACT!
tengusaur (05:14:00): Raynor: "I refuse to be a sitting duck!"
VJockey (05:14:06): Hiiro! Your shot has scattered the Aries and blown one apart completely - however the lead two circle around to let loose a stream of chaingun fire and missiles! React!
VJockey (05:14:55): Matthew! You manage to take down another pair of Aries - though as they begin to fall - they're caught by some of their companions. No. They've got honor. They're just stuck because of their orders.
tengusaur (05:15:53): * With its free hand, Paragon pulls out a gigantic gatling gun - complete with a serrated bayonet blade at the end! Raynor stats the blade into Shadow Champion and unloads a hail if bullets into him, not letting the attack move him one bit from his place at the console! +
aldo salt (05:15:58): And Matthew, as he screams his fury to the heavens, begins to comprehend what is so messed up about this.
VJockey (05:16:00): Richard! The Shadow Beast is charging towards you as well - intent on meeting your punch with one of its own! React!
sketchbookfiend (05:16:17): @Hiiro
Meraxa (05:16:47): Richard: *...In that case, HE'LL MEET IT HEAD ON! HIS FIST AGAINST ITS!+
Overman Zappa (05:17:01): *Hiiro knows the limits of his Gundam, and therefore only makes an effort to defend against, not the Bullets, But just the missiles, either shielding, But mostly dodging.+
sketchbookfiend (05:17:13): *#Hiiro
VJockey (05:17:28): (Approved)
VJockey (05:19:14): Richard! The punches tear apart massive sections of the bomber! Causing chain reactions and cascading engine failures as it begins to dip....
sketchbookfiend (05:19:22): *Loran decides to rush into the fray, getting closer and pulling out a beam saber to jam it into one of the attacking Aries' shoulder engines.+
VJockey (05:19:23): As for the Shadow Beast...
Meraxa (05:19:49): Richard: ...Not... what I expected...
VJockey (05:19:50): Its arm was completely blown off and was sent crashing through the bomber! Your arm may be a bit worse for wear though.
VJockey (05:20:55): Raynor! The Shadow Champion managed to stab through the arm of the Gatling-Gun just as you began to fire. The good news was that he was driven off by the attack....
VJockey (05:20:58): the bad news?
Meraxa (05:21:04): Richard: Need to see if... I can level it off at least... *Yeah he's... not getting much response out of Ideigi's arm there now. Gotta try and tread ove to the cockpit though*
Meraxa (05:21:09): *over
VJockey (05:21:10): The bombs getting REALLY close to the ground now!
tengusaur (05:21:42): Raynor: "Damnit! Almost there! I just need a little more..."
VJockey (05:22:18): Loran! You manage to catch one of the Attacking Aries off guard! The stab has one of its engines cut off and its Pilot is now trying to avoid exploding or crashing!
VJockey (05:22:57): Hiiro! Some of those bullets actually manage to dig past your armor, but its all minor damage - and the missiles just make your shield even uglier!
VJockey (05:23:23): (Roux, Loran, Trowa)
HyprKnux 1 (05:24:49): *Monsters? MS? Monsters? MS? Monsters. Roux continues her assault on the Winged Knights before her beam rifle runs out and she opts to toss it at the creature, shooting it as it got near it.+
Techy Elf resides here (05:26:22): Dropping the rest of the damaged arm Trowa drew his saber, wasn't as good as Wing's but hey, at least he could try to keep the Champion off Raynor's back. "Just work on disarming it. If you can't in two more seconds we bail."
sketchbookfiend (05:26:33): Loran: "While I'm still here-!" *The White doll pulls its saber out quickly and then moves forward to slash vertically it at the next Aries that was firing at Hiiro, aiming to take off it's arms at the elbow- or at least one of them, like the one holding the weapon.+
aldo salt (05:26:50): "…The Base Jabbers. The Base jabbers!" Matthew calls out. "Commander Ayame! Can the base jabbers be programmed to fly pre determined trajectories?"
sketchbookfiend (05:27:04): Loran: "Yes."
sketchbookfiend (05:27:23): Says the boy who had to ask for one earlier.
aldo salt (05:27:35): "Get the Base Jabbers to fly underneath the bomb! Loft it up! Give us time, quiaff?"
Overman Zappa (05:28:50): Hiiro: "Damage within expected parameters. Continuing mission."
tengusaur (05:31:08): Raynor: "No... I can't bail. These people depend on me...!"
tengusaur (05:31:27): Raynor: "I'll keep working until the end... Come on, faster...!"
Techy Elf resides here (05:32:31): Trowa counted up his missiles as he charged at the Champion to take it out once and for all. "So work faster."
VJockey (05:37:14): Ayame: "We don't have enough to keep something that heavy in the air long enough!"
VJockey (05:37:54): Roux! Your unconventional attack drives off the rest of the Winged Knights - Its just the Champion now!
VJockey (05:38:52): Loran! You manage to disarm the Aries - and that's good. What's bad is that it was the one you were duelling with before. And its taking it upon itself to get back to business! Its kicking the Turn A right in the MUSTACHE!
VJockey (05:39:50): Trowa! The Champion has parried your beam-saber strike and is trying to push past you towards Raynor! Time's running out! React!
sketchbookfiend (05:41:16): Loran: "AUGH!" Well that's messed up the visuals a bit on screen and rocked him a bit. Good thing White Doll is still in a kneeling position so it doesn't fly off the Jabber.
Techy Elf resides here (05:41:53): +Trowa targets where Raynor's working while he keeps the Champion busy. "Raynor jump. four missiles."
tengusaur (05:43:59): Raynor: "No! I'm not going to stop!"
Techy Elf resides here (05:44:33): Trowa: "I"m about to fire, if you want to get blown up too be my guest."
tengusaur (05:44:50): Raynor: "I'm almost done! I'm almost-"
aldo salt (05:45:09): "Mechwarrior Trowa!" Matthew calls out. "Trust him! TRUST. HIM."
VJockey (05:45:40): There's a massive crash.
VJockey (05:45:56): The moment Raynor said he was almost done...
VJockey (05:46:04): they apparently hit the ground...
VJockey (05:46:07): and...
VJockey (05:46:11): ...nothing
VJockey (05:46:15): no explosion
tengusaur (05:46:57): Raynor is shaken around the cockpit badly as Paragon rolls off the bomb onto the ground!
Techy Elf resides here (05:46:59): And this would be Trowa toppling over because yeah his gundam's weight's off now. "ow..."
tengusaur (05:47:18): Raynor: "Ha... Ha... We made it..."
tengusaur (05:47:55): Raynor looks around to see if any Shadow Knights are left.
sketchbookfiend (05:48:40): Loran peers down, through the edge of his cockpit since he has been forced to switch to manual view. "We did it?"
Overman Zappa (05:48:52): Hiiro keeps a lock on the BomB for a while longer... just to make sure it doesn't do anything suspicious, while checking cameras for any other approaching foes.
aldo salt (05:49:13): Matthew brakes himself on his Base Jabber and hovers above the action. He exhales in relief.
VJockey (05:49:16): None. The Champion was still present.... but...
tengusaur (05:49:16): Raynor: "It's disarmed... The city is safe."
tengusaur (05:49:52): Raynot: "You..."
VJockey (05:50:19): "Remember the body of Alex Globing. Then you will realize the full extent of what has been done to us Paragon."
VJockey (05:50:39): The Champion... vanishes.
tengusaur (05:50:45): Raynor: "Wait!"
tengusaur (05:50:52): Raynor: "...I can't sense him anymore."
aldo salt (05:51:15): "Are you alright, Paragon?" Matthew asks.
VJockey (05:51:33): That's it then... the Shadow Knights are gone and the Bomb is stopped...
VJockey (05:51:35): but..
tengusaur (05:51:38): Raynor: "Nothing that won't heal."
VJockey (05:51:45): The remaining Aries are still present...
VJockey (05:51:50): and they aren't alone
aldo salt (05:51:56): "Aff. I meant to ask in a spiritual sense, though."
VJockey (05:52:37): Several Leos are marching towards the area, weapons at the ready. And the Tallgeese - as damaged as it is has landed and is facing towards the Chalice team.
tengusaur (05:52:38): Raynor: "Much better here. But..." He looks around. "This is ot over..."
tengusaur (05:52:45): *not
aldo salt (05:53:16): Matthew snorts. "You would think so?" He turns to face the OZ forces.
VJockey (05:54:10): "So you stopped the bomb... I would say that I'm impressed by your tenaciousness. But then its more the fact that you value innocent lives so much to the point of stupidity isn't it?"
Techy Elf resides here (05:55:03): Trowa: "Well I still have the four missiles..." Trowa righted himself. "The innocent shouldn't die because you're after one pilot that made a mistake."
VJockey (05:55:45): "Well then. Allow me to give you another situation to disarm. Right now our Orbital Weapons Station - Barge is moving into place to unleash a barrage of nuclear missiles on the Independent Colonies. The very same ones that Gundam and its companions have been sent by."
tengusaur (05:55:51): Raynor: "Valuing innocent lives is never stupid..."
Overman Zappa (05:56:09): ...Wat? Hiiro doesn't quite Believe that...
VJockey (05:56:31): "You don't believe me then? Allow me to change that."
VJockey (05:57:04): Everyone. There is now an image being linked to your screens. It is indeed a massive weapons station. And from the looks of it its armed.
VJockey (05:57:10): *its weapons are primed
aldo salt (05:57:11): "Are you not soldiers?" Matthew snarls. "Is not your duty, you honor, to fight other kindred warriors, and keep the damage of war from spilling to civilians?"
aldo salt (05:57:18): *your
Techy Elf resides here (05:57:23): Trowa's growling. "What do you want then?"
tengusaur (05:57:28): Raynor: "Damn... What do you want us to do?"
VJockey (05:58:32): "What I demand is your immediate and unconditional surrender. Give me the Gundam and the pilot responsible for the Incident at the New Edwards Base - and maybe those lives you want to protect so much won't go up in flames."
Overman Zappa (05:59:00): They want him... and the Gundam, huh? Well, at least fr now Wing lands...
VJockey (06:00:14): "Threatening the Colonies in order to get what you want. Truly OZ hasn't changed a single bit."
VJockey (06:00:30): There's a new voice over all channels now. Hiiro. You'll recognize this voice.
sketchbookfiend (06:00:31): Loran: "...What is even wrong with you people."
Overman Zappa (06:00:49): Him....
Overman Zappa (06:01:15): Hiiro: "Understood." And the Boy opens the cockpit and steps out. There's a thing in his hand.
VJockey (06:01:53): "This pilot has acted under my orders. For my own personal war against OZ. The Colonies are innocent of any wrongdoing"
VJockey (06:02:09): "Hiiro. You may surrender. But do not let them take the Gundam"
Overman Zappa (06:02:41): "Mission accepted." With that, he presses a switch in his hand. The Gundam lights up then... explodes. Hiiro and the Gundam are engulfed in a firey Burst.
tengusaur (06:02:57): Raynor: "What the...?!"
VJockey (06:03:09): "What?!"
sketchbookfiend (06:03:14): Loran: "Are you joking!?"
Techy Elf resides here (06:03:18): Trowa actually lifts his arm up to deflect some of the light in his gundam. "He self detonated..."
VJockey (06:03:22): Yeah, it seems that the OZ troops were VERY taken aback by this.
sketchbookfiend (06:03:51): Loran: "...oh my god"
aldo salt (06:04:04): "Wha–!" Matthew exclaims.
aldo salt (06:04:14): "Hiiro!!!!"
tengusaur (06:05:01): Raynor: "..."
VJockey (06:05:10): The OZ troops mill about - clearly unsure as what to do now seeing as their target has went up in flames.
VJockey (06:05:44): At that moment, a calm, dignified and altogether refined voice speaks.
Techy Elf resides here (06:06:02): Trowa's silent hoping that the detonation didn't work properly, if the other pilot's still alive... he's not going to go charging over to alert Oz of it.
Overman Zappa (06:06:03): Assorted pieces of the Gundam are sent aBout, and among those pieces... an intact Hiiro.
VJockey (06:06:38): "White Chalice Pilots. I would like to apologize for the undignified actions of my subordinates."
tengusaur (06:07:26): "...!" Raynor notices! But he stays quiet. Let's not draw OZ's attention to this fact.
sketchbookfiend (06:08:19): Loran is currently trying to not have a mental break down because one of his allies just died. So he's just...gonna be quiet
VJockey (06:08:48): "While I indeed had the orders carried out to capture the Gundams, I did not approve of such threats, nor attacking in such a desperate situation."
VJockey (06:09:36): "All OZ troops on the field will stand down and allow you to return to your ship unmolested. However. I must ask that you leave the remains of that Gundam here."
tengusaur (06:10:26): Raynor: "I understand. This is an honorable offer."
Techy Elf resides here (06:10:33): Trowa's silent scanning the wreckage. He's spotted Hiiro too. He pauses a moment, shit how to get Hiiro out of there...
aldo salt (06:10:48): Matthew grimly nods. "It shall be your Isorla, leader of OZ."
aldo salt (06:11:23): He dismounts from the Base Jabber.
Overman Zappa (06:11:27): Luckily for Hiiro and that other random voice, anything important is gone. It's all just scrap Gundariuim.
Techy Elf resides here (06:11:37): "Allow me to retrieve my gatling from it." The arm's not that far from Hiiro, he should be able to get it and the fallen pilot...
VJockey (06:11:42): "I thank you for your cooperation, and hope that if we come to blows once more - it will be on honorable terms"
VJockey (06:12:13): The OZ troops make no move towards Trowa's actions.
aldo salt (06:12:28): Matthew exhales. "Well bargained and done." In that voice…in that voice at least, he sees the honor he has searched for in the Organization of the Zodiac.
VJockey (06:12:32): Looks like he's free to do what he wants so long as he doesn't take anything from the Wing itself.
tengusaur (06:13:22): Paragon gets up on its legs shakily.
aldo salt (06:13:29): "Who are you?" Matthew inquires to the voice.
tengusaur (06:14:09): Raynor: "Today will leave me a lot to think about... Pegasus, come." From afar, the bike approaches to stop by his side!
Techy Elf resides here (06:14:23): Trowa maneuvers close so he can pick up both the fallen arm of his machine and the fallen pilot. No way he's leaving Hiiro there, he just hopes the other gundam pilot can hang in there until they get back to the Chalice.
VJockey (06:14:41): "My name is Treize Khushrenada. Current Chief Commander of the Organization of Zodiac."
Overman Zappa (06:14:46): "..." totally comatose
VJockey (06:15:53): That's it then. OZ is letting you off the hook
VJockey (06:15:59): The Bomb is disabled
VJockey (06:16:09): But there is still much left in the air
VJockey (06:16:16): and Hiiro and his gundam are a mess
VJockey (06:16:26): MISSION COMPLETE
