(8:22:42 PM):     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFCU68Gim3o
(8:23:35 PM):     In the wake of the incident with the Space Pirates and Stalker Fang and all that jazz, the White Chalice set up shop at the closest city nearby, one on the eastern edge of the Japanese Diaspora.
(8:23:56 PM):     Resupply, figure out what the deal with this Leviathan thing Samus was talking about, handle repairs...
(8:24:10 PM):     And there's also the fact that the city's having a bit of a celebration.
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:58 PM):     Specifically, the last confirmed Invid nest had been wiped out just a few days ago with the help from a rather friendly PMC.  The world's finally been scoured of those annoying pests!
(8:25:16 PM):     So how's everyone doing?
Overman Zappa 8:25 pm
(8:25:36 PM):     THEN PARTY  Fun times ahead, even if Sleuth didn't contribute.
VJockey 8:26 pm
(8:26:01 PM):     Cora's getting a drink. She's grinning and laughing - the rest of the team was probably scattered all over the place too.
(8:26:20 PM):     Though she seems ti drink a little more whenever she spots a couple.
Techy Elf resides here 8:26 pm
(8:26:22 PM):     Mira's first stop, replace Lucifer, then she's going to tour the festivities
howmuchineedyou 8:27 pm
(8:27:03 PM):     Kensuke is likely hanging on Mira's heels, all grins
Overman Zappa 8:27 pm
(8:27:38 PM):     Mongrel and Dozer are likely hamming it up, drinking up Sleuth's share
Meraxa 8:28 pm
(8:28:18 PM):     Richard is trying very, very hard to resist drinking, given his present company of a certain Brit commander. Never been one for alcohol, this lad... Hard - and dangerous - to do mechnical work when not sober.
sketchbookfiend 8:28 pm
(8:28:18 PM):     It's a good enough time for a traveller to return to his home country. Parties are pretty baller too. It won't be surprising to see a guy and his bike doing magic tricks to entertain kids.
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:14 PM):     Yes indeed... good times are being had by all.
(8:30:35 PM):     And right on schedule, a voice comes through on the PA System!
(8:31:00 PM):     ???: "Welcome, welcome one and all... I'm pleased to see so many smiling faces out in the streets!"
Overman Zappa 8:31 pm
(8:31:30 PM):     Schedule? What schedule? We had one?
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:31 PM):     ???: "Today is certainly a wonderful day of celebration and I'm happy that we could make it a reality!"
wyverncakes 8:32 pm
(8:32:14 PM):     ???: "Our efforts have finally paid off, and now..."
VJockey 8:32 pm
(8:32:26 PM):     Ah yes... efforts... sip.. sip...
wyverncakes 8:32 pm
(8:32:26 PM):     "... The streets will run with your blood."
VJockey 8:32 pm
(8:32:31 PM):     SPIT TAKE
howmuchineedyou 8:32 pm
(8:32:41 PM):     Kensuke grabbed Mira's sleeve immedetly.
VJockey 8:32 pm
(8:32:45 PM):     "WHAT THE HELL-?!"
wyverncakes 8:32 pm
(8:32:53 PM):     And at that, there's suddenly an explosion rocking one of the buildings!
(8:33:08 PM):     Civilians are running for cover, and the voice on the speaker begins to laugh louder and more malevolently!
Meraxa 8:33 pm
(8:33:20 PM):     Richard: Get down! *Richard pushes Cora to the floor, not sure if thats THEIR building under attack*
wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:58 PM):     ???: "Yes, yes!  When you hired our services to put an end to the Invid we realized it was too good a chance to pass up!  And now your lives will be ours to make use of!"
(8:34:04 PM):     And suddenly... off in the distance...
sketchbookfiend 8:34 pm
(8:34:08 PM):     The man with the bike stops and stares towards the explosion, then hussles the kids he was entertaining back to their parents. "Well this has turned nasty."
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:12 PM):     You can see a stomping force of robots, Invid robots!
VJockey 8:34 pm
(8:34:15 PM):     Funny how Richard managed to be quicker on the uptake than she was this time around - must be the booze. She knocks the table they were at to make some makeshift cover to boot!
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:40 PM):     Two massive lizard monstrosities taking the front (http://www.robotechresearch.com/picture_archive/Sentinels/Ships/Invid_Fleet/large/Invid_Fleet_7_large.jpg)
VJockey 8:34 pm
(8:34:41 PM):     "Darwin's arse...figures a day like this would be too good to be true."
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:58 PM):     ... And along with them, a slew of ornate looking combat machines!  (http://www.robotechresearch.com/picture_archive/Mospeada/Mecha/Royal_Command_Battloid/small/Royal_Command_Battloid_1_small.jpg)
Meraxa 8:35 pm
(8:35:01 PM):     Richard: You did need a reason to stop drinking...
Techy Elf resides here 8:35 pm
(8:35:10 PM):     Mira: Mira stays her ground as people run past her.  "Knew things were too good."  She pales a moment.  "Great... Just great."
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:15 PM):     And lastly... a rather prominent looking mech at center stage, with a man standing on top of it!
VJockey 8:35 pm
(8:35:41 PM):     "... Yeah. Yeah I figured.... you going to keep pinning me to the ground like this Chevalier?"
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:55 PM):     (Whoops, that last link was the Queens)
VJockey 8:35 pm
(8:35:55 PM):     Cora was just going to raise an eyebrow with a sly smile.
wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:06 PM):     (These are the mooks)
(8:36:10 PM):     http://www.robotechresearch.com/picture_archive/Southern_Cross/Mecha/Bioroid_Invid_Fighter/small/Bioroid_Invid_Fighter_1_small.jpg
wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:50 PM):     The man is adorned in the clothes of a military officer-turned-tyrant, and he's cackling all the while.
Meraxa 8:36 pm
(8:36:51 PM):     Richard: ...Ah! S-sorry! Need to reach the entrance and see whats going on... *he says, extending a hand to help Cora up*
howmuchineedyou 8:37 pm
(8:37:01 PM):     Kensuke: "We can lament on it later, Let's get back to the Chalice right now Mira..."
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:26 PM):     ???: "Yes... when you hired the services of Zaptech, you never expected them to be a front for Shocker!"
Overman Zappa 8:37 pm
(8:37:36 PM):     Sleuth: "W-wow... damn... Okay...Guess it's a good thing I'm not old enuogh to party with you boys!  Get your crap together!  We gotta get movin!
    Dozer: "Aww c'mon... Ya really expec...
    SleuTh: "DON'T MAKE ME CALL MOMMA BEAR!"
VJockey 8:37 pm
(8:37:47 PM):     The britannian woman just chuckles and takes the offered hand to get back on her feet. "Right... I need to get the others going"
wyverncakes 8:38 pm
(8:38:07 PM):     "And with nothing more than a little brainwashing, we've turned the Invid into our own, personal army!"
VJockey 8:38 pm
(8:38:10 PM):     "Think you can give me some time to grab my gear?"
wyverncakes 8:38 pm
(8:38:33 PM):     Needless to say, chaos is going on right now...
Meraxa 8:38 pm
(8:38:42 PM):     Richard: If I can find the space to call out Ideigi... *some of those streets were a bit narrow for his liking...*
sketchbookfiend 8:39 pm
(8:39:05 PM):     And at the word of SHOCKER, this guy hops on this bike and revs through the danger and make his way towards a certain police station.
Techy Elf resides here 8:39 pm
(8:39:22 PM):     Mira: "Yeah, as much as I don't like the damn bugs..."  She's running through the crowds back to the chalice, keeping Kensuke's hand in hers so they don't get seperated.
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:24 PM):     [Richard] Yeah, and while you're stuck in an alley, the Invid army unleashes another wave of missiles... some of them heading straight for you!
(8:39:26 PM):     (React: Richard)
(8:39:40 PM):     (Everyone else can get ready in the meantime)
(8:40:00 PM):     ^pub
VJockey 8:40 pm
(8:40:34 PM):     "Ursa to team! You lot better be getting your rear ends in gear or so help me-!"
Meraxa 8:40 pm
(8:40:52 PM):     Richard: ...Move move move! *Despite his own words, Richard is gonna rather hastily push himself and the Commander away from that entrance before it goes boom*
VJockey 8:41 pm
(8:41:52 PM):     "ACK!"
wyverncakes 8:42 pm
(8:42:08 PM):     [Richard] It's a bit of a last-second save, but you do manage to get yourself and Cora to safety!  That end of the pub's blown wide open by the attack... but now at least you've got a means of escaping!
VJockey 8:42 pm
(8:42:28 PM):     "....Well...That's convenient."
Overman Zappa 8:42 pm
(8:42:32 PM):     Sleuth: Sleuth to Ersa, gettin tha boys into gear!  Might be a lil slow..."
Meraxa 8:42 pm
(8:42:55 PM):     Richard: Yeah, but you know, could have killed us. Get going
VJockey 8:43 pm
(8:43:47 PM):     "...Tell 'em if they don't get moving fast enough, I'll makw sure they get to it personally" She slaps a hand to Richard's shoulder and gives him a firm look - as if telling him to watch himself - before getting a move on to get suited up.
(8:43:50 PM):     *make
Overman Zappa 8:44 pm
(8:44:41 PM):     Sleuth: "They're movin!"  
    Within minutes, Sleuth is ready to roll out. Dozer and Mongrel are ready in short order.
wyverncakes 8:44 pm
(8:44:45 PM):     Kensuke, Mira!  You make it back to the hangar with plenty of time!
(8:44:57 PM):     And now you just gotta suit up and head on back out there!
Meraxa 8:45 pm
(8:45:02 PM):     Richard: *starts making a run in a different direction to try and find himself a more open part of the street. A celebration like this has too many people likely in buildings for him to go summoning in tight quarters*
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:50 PM):     Unfortunately though Richard, big, packed areas with lots of civilians is exactly what the Shocker commander's hoping for as one of the lizard monsters gets close!
(8:46:07 PM):     ???: "Yes, yes!  Now all of you can burn for the glory of Shocker!"
(8:46:16 PM):     And the monster opens its mouth and unleashes a tremendous stream of flame at everyone!
Techy Elf resides here 8:46 pm
(8:46:20 PM):     MIra: Mira's already tossed the hard case for the new guitar to the bench in her work station.  "Meet you out there Kensuke."  She's pulling off her jacket reaching for bits of the under armor for her bike.
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:24 PM):     Shit, Richard... how're you gonna stop this without Ideigi?!?
(8:46:29 PM):     (Well?  How are you?)
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:57 PM):     (For that matter, lineup:
VJockey 8:47 pm
(8:47:08 PM):     Cora's suited up and ready to go, Oxide and Scythe good to go while Dagger and Dice handle evac'ing civilians.
howmuchineedyou 8:47 pm
(8:47:11 PM):     Kensuke: This time he was determined to help Mira, he was tried of words. "You won't be able to miss me!" He called back at her. It took some doing to get into his plugsuit and into the plug of his Eva.  As it connected to his mind he almost grinned, for some reason he had a good feeling in his stomach. "Eva Unit 04, ready for launch. Time to squish some bugs."
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:25 PM):     (Cora, Kensuke, Mira, Joanne, Richard, Mystery Good Guy)
Meraxa 8:47 pm
(8:47:30 PM):     Richard: Nnnngh... get out of the way! *By... wait why the hell is he throwing his fist towards- Oh god its actually shining!*
VJockey 8:47 pm
(8:47:52 PM):     (enemy count?)
wyverncakes 8:48 pm
(8:48:22 PM):     (Enemies: Shocker Commander ???, Invid Queen, Invid Lizards x 2, Invid Grunts x 20)
wyverncakes 8:49 pm
(8:49:20 PM):     (Cora, Kensuke)
Meraxa 8:50 pm
(8:50:40 PM):     Richard: SOLAR PUNCH! *A shining fist suddenly flies from the young man's fist... upwards and HARD towards the big lizard's jaw!+
VJockey 8:51 pm
(8:51:24 PM):     *Cora was already rushing through the streets, firing off a grappling cable into a building and swinging off it as she launched several smoke bombs into the faces of a few invid Grunts. Scythe - all but hanging out the door of the Dullahan Transport craft would fire the moment Cora tears away from her 'blinding run'+
wyverncakes 8:51 pm
(8:51:44 PM):     [Richard] Aaaaaaaaand congratulations, Richard.  You just pulled a Master Therion as Ideigi's disembodied hand cold-cocks the lizard and knocks it backwards.
(8:51:52 PM):     Looks like all that magic training's finally paying off!
Meraxa 8:52 pm
(8:52:04 PM):     Richard: ...Holy hell... I didn't even...
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:40 PM):     And the Commander's just staring in disbelief.  "What?  Who did that?!?  Is there a Rider in that crowd then or...?"
howmuchineedyou 8:53 pm
(8:53:15 PM):     The Eva stepped out, and Kensuke grinned, pallet rifle in hand. Height gave him a strategic vantage point, he fired three short volleys at one of the invalid lizards, spreading his AT field around him at the ready as he did.+
wyverncakes 8:53 pm
(8:53:43 PM):     [Cora] And it's a multi-pronged assault on the Invid... the smoke bombs distratcting the KMF-ish sized enemies before Scythe begins tearing into their ranks!  The two lead grunts fall, and civilians take that chance to flee!+
colesign@gmail.com has left the room. 8:53 pm
wyverncakes 8:53 pm
(8:53:47 PM):     ^(minus the +)
(8:54:42 PM):     [Kensuke] The Invid Lizard is pelted by the rifle shots, roaring in defiance... and also now charging straight at you and striking down with one of its big meaty claws!
(8:54:45 PM):     (React: Kensuke)
(8:55:01 PM):     (Mira, Joanne)
Techy Elf resides here 8:56 pm
(8:56:39 PM):     *Mira zips out of the hangar in bike mode fully armed.  She heads for the nearest enemy, blaster going, as much as she wants to, limited rockets mean mooks get smaller weapons.  "Well at least it's lizards and not something gross like a squid!"*
Overman Zappa 8:57 pm
(8:57:08 PM):     Joanne: "Aight boys!  Pied piper!" And with that, she follows suit with Cora, however, she swings lower, and stops in the street, taking pot shots at Invid to draw attention at her.  Daredevil kid is trying to get them to swarm her &
wyverncakes 8:58 pm
(8:58:06 PM):     [Mira] And your blaster tears apart another of the mooks.  But unlike you, they've got dakka to spare as a few rockets fire out... but not at you, but at several of the buildings nearby your machine to cause huge amounts of rubble fall!
(8:58:08 PM):     (React: Mira)
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:00 PM):     [Joanne] And your shots strike several if the Invid, damaging their frames... but before long, yes, you ARE getting swarmed by another half-dozen grunts, all unloading on you!
(8:59:04 PM):     (React/Continue: Joanne)
howmuchineedyou 8:59 pm
(8:59:36 PM):     Kensuke: With the lizard gaining so much downward momentum Kensuke makes a daring move to  swinging the rifle away from his chest, and leaning back, swung the Eva round to meet the incoming lizard with the full force of the Eva's leg, standing solid as he kicking straight up, hoping the colliding inertia would create a powerful impact.+
Techy Elf resides here 8:59 pm
(8:59:41 PM):     *Mira sees the rubble start falling and shifts her bike to Soldier mode, using her gun on the mook, and one rocket aimed at the rubble, smaller stuff won't hurt as bad
Overman Zappa 9:00 pm
(9:00:37 PM):     *With that, Sleuth takes off running again, this time leaving her boys Dozer and  Mongrel to unload rockets and RPGs down at the pursuing swarm! +
wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:50 PM):     [Kensuke] It's certainly bold indeed, with your rifle being discarded in favor of a melee counter, but it works for the most part!  Your leg pounds into the creature as its claw slashes and mildly damages Unit 04's main body and you send it flying away.  It lands with a deafening crunch... though it's still turning back up and around to keep fighting.  It's definitely hurt though!
(9:02:59 PM):     [Joanne] It's a bit of a close call, with the shock from some of the blasts being felt with your armor.  However, you get off with just being rocked a bit and some minor damage from attack pulses... though dammit Jojo one of these days your plot armor's going to die on you!  But in the meantime, the Invid forces are struck from behind and another two are cut down!
(9:03:06 PM):     And the Shocker commander is looking FURIOUS!
howmuchineedyou 9:03 pm
(9:03:41 PM):     Kensuke The force of it made his gasp a little, but this beast was nothing compared to an angel, he didn't even feel any fear knowing that it was still coming for him. "Let's do this, ugly."
wyverncakes 9:04 pm
(9:04:15 PM):     "This is an outrage!  Our plans are being foiled... and I will not stand for this!"
(9:04:44 PM):     And with that, the Commander jumps down to the ground, transforming...
(9:04:50 PM):     He's no longer a man... no...
(9:05:05 PM):     It's some kind of man-spider...
(9:05:11 PM):     (Spideroid: http://www.angelfire.com/hero/kamen_rider_spirits/images/kaijin/spideroid.jpg)
(9:05:46 PM):     (Richard, Mystery Man)
VJockey 9:05 pm
(9:05:51 PM):     Oxide: "What...is. that?"
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:38 PM):     [Mira] You do manage to finish off one of the mooks and blow up some of the rubble, but your Cyclone's not exactly big or tough and there's still a lot of rubble that tears into the Cyclone's frame!  Alerts are going off already, and if you take much more damage you might be stucked in Soldier mode until repairs can happen.
sketchbookfiend 9:07 pm
(9:07:38 PM):     *The spider is going to have to stand for it a bit longer, because a motorcycle flies out of an alley and slams the back wheel into an Invid Grunt's face before landing in the street, kicking up dust everywhere as he knocks it down hopefully+
Meraxa 9:09 pm
(9:09:20 PM):     Richard: You're in the way! *Richard is still making his way up the street, a bit more confident as he-* SOLAR PUNCH! *Fires out another fist, this time at the Spider... though stopping briefly to pant+
wyverncakes 9:09 pm
(9:09:25 PM):     [Mystery man] Using a motorcycle to incapacitate an Invid Grunt is pretty crazy, to tell you the truth.  Which is exactly why it works just fine, leaving Spideroid confused as to what the hell just happened!
(9:09:36 PM):     Spideroid: "Another..."
Techy Elf resides here 9:09 pm
(9:09:39 PM):     Mira: "Ow okay that was a dumb move."  She calmly flicks off the alarms ignoring them for now.  Soldier mode at least is a little more protective than bike so she'll stick with it.
Overman Zappa 9:09 pm
(9:09:53 PM):     Sleuth spies that move, and is impressed!
wyverncakes 9:10 pm
(9:10:36 PM):     "Rrrrrgh... whoever's out there, out with your name and goal, NOW!  You're not a part of the Chalice... so are you just here to die?"
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:31 PM):     [Richard] And as your punch moves towards the Shocker Commander, suddenly the Invid Queen moves to intercept!  Ideigi's shoulder-checked away from the Shocker commander, the Invid machine following up with firing its blaster at you!
(9:11:34 PM):     (React: Richard)
sketchbookfiend 9:11 pm
(9:11:40 PM):     http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s15/RiderKnight/efdc.jpg The dust clears and this Cool Guy is sitting on his bike stares at Spider "The name is Kamen Rider. G1. And the goal is to protect people's smiles."
VJockey 9:12 pm
(9:12:09 PM):     #Richard
wyverncakes 9:12 pm
(9:12:10 PM):     And at that, some of the Spider's eyes visibly twitch.
(9:12:18 PM):     "... A Rider..."
(9:12:20 PM):     (Approved)
wyverncakes 9:13 pm
(9:13:31 PM):     [Yusuke] And at that, Spideroid lets loose a vicious laugh!  "Haha perfect!  Your life force will be the highlight of this operation's harvest!"  Yusuke, before you know it suddenly webbing's sprayed all over you and you're pulled towards the monster as it punches at you!
(9:13:34 PM):     (React: Yusuke)
Overman Zappa 9:14 pm
(9:14:01 PM):     Mongrel: "Protect people's... smiles?  Oh wooooow!  He'd beter be badass to back up something that corny!"
    Dozer: "Kamen Rider... Isn't it that ol TV show..."
sketchbookfiend 9:15 pm
(9:15:01 PM):     *Well that is surprising, it actually even pulled him off his bike, but as he's being pulled he also starts running towards the Spideroid and hops  once he's close to deliver a kick to it's gut.+
VJockey 9:15 pm
(9:15:07 PM):     "Oxide! HAIL MARY!" "-sigh- And the day was going so well..." *With that Cora hooked up a grapple onto Oxide and SWUNG him as hard and fast as she could after building up some momentum - sending him flying at the Invid Queen as would attempt to slap several explosives onto it, roll over its head and grapple to safety!+
sketchbookfiend 9:15 pm
(9:15:26 PM):     Yusule: "I might be rusty but no SHOCKER goon is going to put me down."
wyverncakes 9:17 pm
(9:17:05 PM):     [Yusuke] Through your combined efforts you're now hurtling straight at the Spideroid... and your attacks connect at the same time!  Your feet pound into the monster's stomch as multiple arms strike at your side, and you're both sent flying away!  Spideroid crashes and is knocked along the ground, and you crash into an abandoned car.  Fortunately the G1 armor's pretty durable though...
Meraxa 9:17 pm
(9:17:28 PM):     Richard: UGH! *Okay, getting knocked by a robot is not at all in any way fun. And a good way to remind Richard that having magic doesn't suddenly make him invincible, as he bounces and rolls across the floor*
wyverncakes 9:18 pm
(9:18:39 PM):     [Cora and Richard] It's a pretty ballsy tactic you're trying, Oxide.  Also kinda zany in a way.  Needless to say the blasts rock the Invid Queen, damaging it a bit and also giving Richard the opportunity to flee because otherwise he would've totally been crushed and yeah because he totally wasn't in Ideigi.
(9:18:57 PM):     (AT ANY RATE, Cora and Kensuke)
sketchbookfiend 9:19 pm
(9:19:37 PM):     Yusuke pulls himself out of the car and rubs the back of his head as he glances at it. "Wow, I have to hand it to them, they knew what they were doing when they built this."
howmuchineedyou 9:21 pm
(9:21:11 PM):     Kensuke meet the lizard halfway, rushing in, The Eva's hands reaching out to grip the beast anyway he could, hoping to hold it just long enough to loose the spike bomblets from his shoulder boards. The moment they where loosed, he pushed his AT field hard to keep the inevitable blast from harming his Eva, loosing his grip and hoping to wrench away if he could, and get back to his rifle.+
wyverncakes 9:21 pm
(9:21:14 PM):     And at the same time, the Spideroid's kinda dreading that he's going to inexplicably explode any minute now
(9:21:17 PM):     ... Fortunately that doesn't happen!
VJockey 9:21 pm
(9:21:42 PM):     *Cora kind of winced when she saw the -5 landing that Oxide made soon after... really. Someone's going to need to replace that window, and those cubicles, and those desks. Ouch. In any case... Cora moves to ground level and brings her twin gatlings to BEAR on the Spideroid. Planning on giving the kaijin a thorough mauling. With bullets.&
sketchbookfiend 9:21 pm
(9:21:53 PM):     Yusuke is kind of confused that it isn't dead either. "Oh yeah, I can't do that anymore."
(9:22:08 PM):     He seems pretty laid back about it though
wyverncakes 9:22 pm
(9:22:29 PM):     [Kensuke] And as you do a mad charge, you manage to catch the lizard by surprise and blow it apart!  Fortunately your AT Field soaks up the damage pretty nicely...
(9:22:57 PM):     ... But in wake of that however, you're suddenly noticing that the controls are locking up on you.
(9:23:39 PM):     And suddenly Unit 04 just turns straight towards the Invid Queen and starts charging... and smashing through an entire building along the way.
wyverncakes 9:23 pm
(9:23:51 PM):     Also, Oxide and Richard?  You're sorta in its trajectory.

(9:24:15 PM):     "... Oh goddammit don't tell me those assholes at NERV actually are deciding to turn the Dummy Plug system back on NOW?!?"
howmuchineedyou 9:24 pm
(9:24:29 PM):     Kensuke had opened his mouth to say something snappy, when the feeling of the Eva changed, the responses was slipping. The Eva was... it was running... "What the hell?! Hey!! Hey!! No no no no you can't do this to me again!!"
VJockey 9:25 pm
(9:25:32 PM):     Oxide: "I think I've got enough metal in my body thank you." *Oxide's going to use his rocket launcher to blast an exit out of the building to try get into another one next to it!+
wyverncakes 9:25 pm
(9:25:33 PM):     [Cora] And as your dakka is fired on it, the Spideroid takes to the sides of buidings, crawling and acting like Spider-, well, you get the picture.  Your shots do manage to catch and break off one of its arms, but now you've got the other Invid Lizard charging straight at you, unleashing a stream of fire once more!
(9:25:36 PM):     (React: Cora)
howmuchineedyou 9:25 pm
(9:25:42 PM):     Kensuke: "I'm not in control!" He shouted, mostly to alert his team mates, it was all he could think in his frighted desperation that engulfed him suddenly. He punched the controls repeatedly as he shouted.
wyverncakes 9:26 pm
(9:26:06 PM):     Ayame: "Dammit dammit dammit... they're probably just trying to make it go for the Queen..."
Techy Elf resides here 9:26 pm
(9:26:38 PM):     Mira: "Kensuke!" yeah, she might be ignoring the mooks she's fighting for a moment.  Switching coms to the Chalice and NERV in general she's scowling.  "You idiots!  You're going to get him killed!"
wyverncakes 9:27 pm
(9:27:14 PM):     "Everyone, try to stay away from it for the time being.  We're going to start to dig up information we worked on after the last time this happened."
Overman Zappa 9:27 pm
(9:27:16 PM):     Sleuth:"The big one just shut down?  Thafuck?"
wyverncakes 9:27 pm
(9:27:24 PM):     "Specifically, how to shut off the Dummy Plug for good."
wyverncakes 9:28 pm
(9:28:18 PM):     [Oxide] It's a pretty daring escape, with the entire building just going to pieces right after you flee from it.  Dammit, this isn't good...
(9:28:36 PM):     (Mira, Joanne)
howmuchineedyou 9:28 pm
(9:28:49 PM):     Kensuke: "Mira! Stay out of the way! Please, everybody, stay away from my Eva!" He goes on shouting at Nerv at the top of his lungs.
Overman Zappa 9:29 pm
(9:29:11 PM):     Sleuth: "Why? Is it finna go nuts?"
VJockey 9:29 pm
(9:29:24 PM):     "BALLS!" *Cora's going to focus on getting away from that fire - following the Spideroid's example incidentally. She wasn't going to test just how 'heatproof' this suit is thank YOU very much!+
sketchbookfiend 9:29 pm
(9:29:27 PM):     Yusuke is getting a good look at this situation while he taps and tries to get on the same frequency with the people also fighting the Invid. He wants to chase down Spider but he's distracted with this. "It looks like it already is going nuts from here"
wyverncakes 9:29 pm
(9:29:59 PM):     [Cora] The answer is... modestly.  Your suit's bathed in flames for a few moments, with a few of the more sensative systems overheating and breaking down, but you flee and are otherwise fine
Meraxa 9:30 pm
(9:30:32 PM):     Richard: *stares upwards at the oncoming Eva... and sighs with a small grunt of pain... before screaming out of the top of his lungs* IDEIGI! *He disappears as the massive mecha is called forth... but might not even have a chance to quite fully form before big lean and ugly comes stomping+
Overman Zappa 9:30 pm
(9:30:49 PM):     *While Sleuth is busy being concerned, Dozer and Mongrel finally reach ground level, then open up, chain gun and flame thrower at the invid mooks, heading for one of them nasty lizards.+
wyverncakes 9:31 pm
(9:31:40 PM):     [Richard] You're starting to turn into Captain Marvel there, Richard.  You really are.  The paladin robot emerges, blocking Unit 04's way and holding it still... at least for the moment!
Techy Elf resides here 9:31 pm
(9:31:58 PM):     Mira: She face punches the nearest of the trooper units out of frustration.  "Kensuke hang on in there okay?"  She's staying away from it for now though she wants to go help.  Hey the frustration though, has her humming softly, the song's an old battle anthem, helping her focus on the task at hand.*
wyverncakes 9:33 pm
(9:33:33 PM):     [Sleuth] The, sorta in disarray on acount of everything, get picked off even further as three more of them fall!
(9:33:56 PM):     (is that Mira's action though?)
Techy Elf resides here 9:34 pm

wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:17 PM):     (Alright)
(9:34:35 PM):     [Mira] And Mira... you're just... genuflecting.  I guess.  Hopefully chillaxing for what's going to be coming soon enough.
(9:34:39 PM):     (Richard, Yusuke)
Meraxa 9:36 pm
(9:36:12 PM):     Richard: Whooooa there! *Richard wasn't... entirely able to listen in on the whole 'game plan' as such, and so rather than steering clear of the Eva, is trying to match its brawn for a bit... and then see if he can kick in one of its knees! A good several dozens metres in height does limit the attack range somewhat+
sketchbookfiend 9:37 pm
(9:37:24 PM):     *Yusuke is going to get back on TriChaser and zoom off in the direction of Spider's wall jumping hijinks. Any mooks in the way are going to get some bike-fu unless they get out of his way+
Overman Zappa 9:37 pm
(9:37:40 PM):     Sleuth: Ah,,, right right, got more importan things.  You boys better be keepin busy!  Start makin a move for the big ones now!  Lil ones ain't a prolem!

(9:38:18 PM):     *BeatChaser
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:27 PM):     [Richard] And Ideigi's foot strikes into Unit 04's leg.  Kensuke... you're gonna be feeling a bit of pain from all of this, sorry!  But in the meantime, Unit 04's recognizing Ideigi as an obstacle in the way to the Invid Queen (for that matter, EVERYTHING ELSE in its way is an obstacle too but you're special) and it hauls out its high-frequency knife and slashes at your frame!
(9:38:30 PM):     (React: Richard)
(9:38:53 PM):     Ayame: "Richard, you need to listen very, very carefully!"
(9:39:25 PM):     "We're going to try to snipe the Dummy Plug and get it out of commission.  This might earn us bad blood with NERV but they deserve it for springing this on us.  Twice, in fact."
(9:39:42 PM):     "But Ideigi's going to have to keep that thing under control until we can get in close!"
howmuchineedyou 9:39 pm
(9:39:49 PM):     Kensuke angry shouts and demands quickly change to loud shutters of pain held back behind gritted teeth, it was enough to put his flailing to an end though.
Meraxa 9:40 pm
(9:40:11 PM):     Richard: Dummy plug?! *Richard yells just as he raises a shield, trying to block the Eva's actual arm from being able to come down on him.* Are you saying they triggered some remote control for no reason?!+
howmuchineedyou 9:40 pm
(9:40:39 PM):     Kensuke: "Yes! I'm not in control!" He managed to shout
wyverncakes 9:40 pm
(9:40:58 PM):     [Yusuke] And you pursue the Spideroid... but fortunately the kaijin's also got no intention of just running away from you as it pulls back on some of its webbing and strikes at you again!  "So, Kamen Rider G1... if your kicks are worthless, what CAN you do to me?"
(9:41:30 PM):     Ayame: "I don't know, they're off in the wastelands of the actual Japan."
(9:41:51 PM):     "Maybe they just wanted to test it out again, maybe they thought we needed to stop this sooner."
(9:42:04 PM):     "Whatever the reason, I'm not going to stand for it."
VJockey 9:42 pm
(9:42:06 PM):     "Well if we pass them by, let me know. I need to put a boot up someone's ass for damn near killing one of my boys!"
Meraxa 9:42 pm
(9:42:18 PM):     Richard: Considering EVERYTHING ELSE we deal with?!
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:33 PM):     "... ANd for that matter, everyone please refrain from directly attacking Unit 04.  Kensuke's still synched to the machine."
VJockey 9:42 pm
(9:42:44 PM):     Oxide wisely doesn't say anything about the manuever that landed him in that position being bad for his health.
Meraxa 9:42 pm

(9:43:53 PM):     Kensuke: "It's ok. do what you have to." He winced but swallowed it, so much for the good feeling he had. He felt small and trapped in the belly of a mad beast.
wyverncakes 9:43 pm
(9:43:55 PM):     In the meantime...
(9:44:22 PM):     Ayame: "If we can manage a precise shot though... we might be able to disable the plug."

Overman Zappa 9:44 pm

sketchbookfiend 9:45 pm
(9:45:16 PM):     Yusuke: "If all we had were kicks, you guys would have been gone ages ago." *A response which is followed by Yusuke reving the bike to dodge forward and past the Spideroid, then turning on a skid as he pulls out the GM-01 Scorpion pistol to fire at the kaijin's back+
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:16 PM):     (Neutral: Unit 04)
(9:45:33 PM):     "Mira... we're feeding you the targeting data now.  Think you can make the shot?"
Overman Zappa 9:46 pm
(9:46:31 PM):     Sleuth leads a charge for the other Invid Lizard.  However, she heads right past it, pouring bullets into it to turn it's attention away from the little mine she just dropped at it's feet.  Dozer and Mongrel support the distraction by pumping lead into it's back/front/whatever side faces them+
VJockey 9:47 pm
(9:47:52 PM):     *Cora's going to lay down fire on the Invid Queen with her Cannon. This however was mostly to soften up the spot Oxide already blasted into it& "Scythe! Blasting you a weak spot! Get ready! On my mark!"
wyverncakes 9:48 pm
(9:48:07 PM):     [Joanne] You and your teammates go Attack Pattern Delta on the monstrosity, but it's just roaring in defiance and still putting up a fight.  And not only that... the Invid Queen's getting back into the swing of things now as well, opening fire on you with its missiles!
VJockey 9:48 pm
(9:48:08 PM):     "Understood...."
wyverncakes 9:48 pm
(9:48:10 PM):     (React: Joanne)
(9:49:22 PM):     [Yusuke] The Spideroid zooms by overhead, and from there you shoot the hell out of its back, Yusuke!  Great job, the monster's on one knee now and coughing up a ton of blood.
(9:49:30 PM):     Spideroid: "Onore... G1..."
Techy Elf resides here 9:50 pm
(9:50:50 PM):     Mira: She pulls out of the mess of mooks she's made scanning the data.  "I need to get closer but I can."  Switching modes takes a little longer.  She ignores all other targets.  "Keep the Invid off me."  She gets herself into position reaching for the larger gun she has hoping it's strong enough to get through the AT field.
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:10 PM):     [Cora] The Invid Queen turns in your direction though, Cora... and its response to your attack is MOAR MISSILES at you... ones which hit very close to home and send you flying.  You're okay, but the same can't be said for your suit... but Scythe still gets his shot and a nice big hole is blown through the Queen!
(9:52:34 PM):     (Forget that post)
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:02 PM):     [Cora] The Invid Queen turns in your direction though, Cora... and its response to your attack is MOAR MISSILES at you... but now Scythe has his shot!

wyverncakes 9:53 pm

(9:53:52 PM):     [Mira] You zoom in towards the Eva... but it's already noticing you and identifying you as a threat!  Better make your shot now!
(9:53:57 PM):     (React/continue)
Overman Zappa 9:55 pm
(9:55:35 PM):     *FUUUUCK Missiles! Sleuth is not an armored one, so all she can do is hope to the heavens she can move behind another building before being blown apart.  Also, that mine...  it explodes now so, how'd that work out?+
wyverncakes 9:56 pm
(9:56:33 PM):     [Sleuth] The shots hit close.  Dangerously close.  Enough to knock you off the ground and smack you into buildings and stuff.  You're gonna be feeling those hits for a while now...
(9:57:00 PM):     ... BUT!  Then the mine goes off, completely enveloping the lizard and destroying much of its body!  When the dust settles, it's slumped down, very much dead!
Techy Elf resides here 9:57 pm
(9:57:02 PM):     + Mira skids her bike down so she can use both hands to aim, she knows her CVr can handle a few hits from Invid fire at least.  She takes two shots, slapping the gun back in position, zipping for cover and to let the gun recharge.
VJockey 9:57 pm
(9:57:14 PM):     "And though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil for I'm wearing a suit forged of determination and Fuck-you!" *Cora unleashes her twin gatlings on the missiles  and is now actually charging through the incoming firestorm - if anything to keep the Queen pointed at her - Just as Scythe took her shot - firing the massive anti-armor round from the sniper cannon+
Overman Zappa 9:58 pm
(9:58:59 PM):     *Sleuth is just going to lay there for a second.  She's fine but... "Uhhhh...Sleuth reporting... I'm fine... nnngh..."
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:23 PM):     [Cora] Your return fire helps shoot down some of the missiles sent your way, but multiple other ones blow up around you in a way that looks totally badass and shit.  And then Scythe fires his blast off, blowing a huge hole in the Queen's form!
(9:59:42 PM):     The Queen slumps down, trashed but still functioning to a degree...
VJockey 10:00 pm
(10:00:47 PM):     "All hail Britannia. Bitch"
wyverncakes 10:01 pm
(10:01:34 PM):     [Mira] Your shots hurtle out, striking Unit 04's entry plug at odd angles.  Why there...?  Well, as Kensuke finds out seconds later... control of Unit 04's been returned to him!  The Dummy Plug's had its shit wrecked, so hell yeah!
Overman Zappa 10:02 pm

    "What just happened...?" Was there even time to question it? Didn't look like it.
Meraxa 10:03 pm

(10:05:56 PM):     Kensuke: "For now, still kickin'." He smirked weakly, and pushed up his glasses. "I have no idea what just happened, but let's finish this before something worse dose. How about it?" He pulled out his smash hawk and twirled it once.
sketchbookfiend 10:05 pm
(10:05:56 PM):     *Yusuke revs the BeatChaser and starts flying towards the Spideroid, but leaps off of it into the air. Hopefully the bike will smash the Spideroid and stun him- if not, he's using the momentum of the bike to actually give his flying side kick some oomph!+
(10:06:18 PM):     Yusuke: TAKE THIS! MY RIDER KICK!
Meraxa 10:06 pm
(10:06:43 PM):     Richard: Agreed. Paladin Blade! *Richard summons the gargantuan sword, before charging forth towards the Queen!* You take high!&
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:46 PM):     [Yusuke] Spideroid's still trying to recover, and you're clearly not having any of that as your bike smashes into him... and afterwards your kick hits home, smashing through the monster's body through brute force alone and killing him off for good!
(10:07:48 PM):     Heck yeah!
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:59 PM):     Shame there's no explosion afterwards, but dose are the breaks.
sketchbookfiend 10:09 pm

howmuchineedyou 10:10 pm
(10:10:48 PM):     The Eva springs at once, brandishing his glowing hawks at the ready, "then you get em low!" this time diving for the Queen of his own will, pushing everything he had left into it, the fear and anger growing quickly in his mind fueled the fury of his strike. He wanted answers and there would be none until this battle was over.  +
Meraxa 10:11 pm
(10:11:26 PM):     Richard: CHESTO! *And in one random scream, Richard slashes across towards the Queen in a joint strike with the Eva+
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:02 PM):     [Richard and Kensuke] Sword and axe strike down the Queen, the Invid monstrosity unable to defend itself before things go explodey!  THERE'S where that explosion budget went to.  Sorry about that Yusuke!
(10:14:18 PM):     But with the destruction of the Queen... the remaining Invid slump down, unable to function any more.
(10:14:40 PM):     And after a few moments civilians began to peek out from there points of shelter.
(10:15:08 PM):     A collective sigh of relief can be heard... and very, very slowly, festivities begin anew.
(10:15:21 PM):     Reconstruction can come afterwards... after all, the Invid have been defeated for REAL this time now!
(10:15:23 PM):     Hell yeah!
(10:15:26 PM):     MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Overman Zappa 10:16 pm

He repeated the words 'And here we are as on a darkling plain' He knew who had picked those words at once. And as soon as he said them something... changed, he could feel it in the  Eva.
howmuchineedyou 10:20 pm
