wyverncakes
: As Wendell has previously exposited for the benefit of everyone, the last of the Colossi have finally gone active!
: Specifically, in the vast expanses of the Catalaunian plains in the northernmost part of Spain.
: And yes, it might seem dickish to go after these behemoths for the sole purpose of murdering them, but there was no telling when they might wander into a population center
: Besides, Wendell's ladyfriend would only come back if they were all disposed of.
wyverncakes
: Thus, you're all on a shuttle heading towards them, the massive beasts barely visible off in the distance.
: So how goes it?
: Prior to this, Colossi were always something you had to react to on the fly, this time you've at least had the time to gather your thoughts and all that jazz.
cubey@aol.pl
: Lowe promised Wendell his support - so there he is! Red Frame is at the ready too, equipped with freshly finished Large McHuge powered arms.
llamaqueen190
: Wendell is jittery and unable to sit still. He's pacing around near the mechs, before climbing up Sigil to check on Mana's unchanged condition for the tenth time.
tengusaur
: Werter looks at the screen. "So large they can be seen even from this distance, huh... And we fight several of them at once this time."
Overman Zappa
: MarKus feels good. He's making word on a promise he's made twice. Because 'henshin hero speeches' and making the kid feel better. He has a girl he'd give up a lot for too. Them feels
cubey@aol.pl
: Lowe: "It'll be a big one, huh? Don't stay too far away, George. We might need... that."
Overman Zappa
: "Wendel. Bro. Chill man. We got this!"
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "You say that like it's easy..."
cubey@aol.pl
: Lowe: "Easy or not, no use being down about it!"
macprysm
: Yuu: "Indeed. We do what we must, because we can. Your quest is noble, so take heart."
Meraxa
: Boss: YEEEES! Its my time to shine! *With no lack in ego, Boss proudly stands atop the bold dome of Boss Borot which... has some rather odd improvements. The jetpack is one thing, but the spike covered hands don't look like they even belong to his series*
Overman Zappa
: "How many times did you take out those monsters without planning?"
llamaqueen190
: Wendell just about chews a hole through his lip, but nods, and stops his pacing. "Right. Just more of the same."
wyverncakes
: However, as you approach, you receive a message from the Chalice!
: Ayame: "Sorry for the late call, but there might be a small snag here."
Overman Zappa
: "Only this time we've planned it!" A snag. "Mother fuck... now what?"
Meraxa
: Boss: ...*immediately scrambles inside the cockpit with a small whimper*
wyverncakes
: "Wendell, we did a quick check of the Colossi we've encountered, including the ones we detected."
: "... Were there fifteen or sixteen?"
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "Sixteen..."
tengusaur has left the room. 8:32 pm
cubey@aol.pl has left the room. 8:33 pm
macprysm
: Yuu: "It'd be nice if we knew what we were up against. Each Collosi has been different, yes?" *Yuu pauses as he hears the comm.* "Wait, what kind of snag?"

tengusaur
: Werter: "Worst case scenario, we can always retreat if it turns out to be too much. Temporarily of course."
wyverncakes
: "Fifteen. Great."
: The sarcasm in Ayame's voice couldn't be more clear.
: "There's one unaccounted for then."
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "But... he said this was the final battle. Where is the last one?!"
wyverncakes
: "Wendell wouldn't be fed false intel though, so the sixteenth might just be biding its time. Who knows how those things think... just stay careful out there."
Overman Zappa
: "If I can interject... Shit'll show up if our track record is a thing still..."
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "That will probably be the case, yes."
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "Right... keep your eyes open, then. I don't like the feel of this."
wyverncakes
: You're much closer now, and you can see the two Colossi stomping around in the distance.
: They seem passive enough for now, but then again, you can be as docile as you want when you're hundred of feet tall; you're still gonna be stomping all over the place.
macprysm
: Yuu frowns. "So then, it should be no surprise if the last one shows up midway while fighting these two?"

cubey@aol.pl has left the room. 8:49 pm
macprysm
: Yuu: What a magnificent beard that one has!
Overman Zappa
: MarKus gives the Technica LL another look over. "Honestly I've never fought one of these so.... I have no idea what I just signed up for. But I'm here for ya man.
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "Alright then. Whatever the last one's waiting for... all we can do is force their hand. You're clear to launch!"
Meraxa
: Boss: ...Looks like a dwarf!
Overman Zappa
: And he gives Wendell a whack. "Remember what we talked about though.
llamaqueen190
: "... Of course." Wendell scurries up Sigil and into the control pit.
wyverncakes
: (Lineup: Wendell, Yuu, Boss, Werter, MarKus)
wyverncakes
: (Enemies: Barba, Argus)
tengusaur
: Werter: "Alright, Prometheus, let's get this final dance started!" Only now the tiny robot grows into a mass of metal, which swallows Werter and reforms into a giant tiny robot (like it did a lot of times in the past).
macprysm
: And the other one wields a mighty hammer. I dub this battle, "Assault on the Giant Dwarves!"
wyverncakes
: (Note: Barba is about 275 meters tall, Argus even taller at 310)

: Sigil hits the ground running. "Hard to guess which should be the first target... " Looking between the two giants, Wendell makes a instinctive decision, and aims a dark-energy arrow at Argus' face.+
macprysm
: Yuu points his fist at Barba. "I mean you no ill will, but you must fall today, Giants! FIST OF JUSTICE!" And it goes flying off towards the bearded giant, aimed right at his face!+
llamaqueen190
: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yinRneiTJU ))
wyverncakes
: [Wendell] Your arrow shoots out, striking the giant Argus. At once you've got the monster's attention, and it begins to charge at you. It picks up speed with every pace, and one of its hands reaches down and just pulls a huge clod of earth from the ground before hurling it at Sigil!
: (React: Wendell)
llamaqueen190
: Wendell pushes Sigil into a dive-roll towards Argus, intending to gain ground and dodge underneath the projectile in one action.+
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] The rocket punches arc out at the behemoth, causing it to stumble backwards, but it recovers its bearing quickly enough before charging at you as well. And when somethings that huge, its lanky arms are almost rocket punches in their own right, as you see first-hand as its fist surges towards X-Buster!
: (React: Yuu)
Meraxa

macprysm

wyverncakes
: [Wendel] The clod of earth crashes back into the plains right behind you, but you emerge unharmed and more or less directly below the monster now!

: (Boss, Werter, and MarKus can also take their turns now)
Meraxa
: Boss: Dun dun dun! The hero saves the day! *Boss yells... perhaps far too triumphantly, as Boss Borot rockets towards Barba's face... with one rocket giving out halfway, leaving the machine to spiral out of control towards the beast's face*

wyverncakes
: (Will Yuu make a defensive actions as well?)
tengusaur
: * "They're really huge... But size means little for Prometheus' power and agility." Werter unfolds Prometheus' drill lance and the white robot charges towards Argus, at the last moment jumping up towards the huge giant with a powerful plasma burst-powered leap! Werter aims at the spot already hit by Wendell's arrow, and stabs right at it with the whirring lance! +
wyverncakes
: [Boss] The lowly and tiny Borot is barely a speck compared to the gargantuan Argus, and when you crash into the monster's face you dislodge some of its body but otherwise, Boss Borot just looks a bit pancake-ified from the impact.
Meraxa
: Boss: Da da da... everything's spinning so pretty~
macprysm
: Yuu grimaces, but moves to both evade the charge and catch the spinning Borot. "A valiant effort, Boss...but I fear your machine will need to do more than just charge in blindly against these beasts. They have weak points, right?"

: +
wyverncakes
: [Werter] Your lance plunges down, but Argus is not just going to stand by as you deliver your breatdown and raises its shield to stop your lance! In the meantime, its own large blade swings up in response to cut you down!
: (React: Werter)
Overman Zappa
: MarKus's mind is blown. "How did it not... just... crumple.
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] The punches carry more speed than you might've expected, but you still manage to evade without even being grazed. And yes, weak points do seem to be the order of the day against these creatures!
Meraxa
: Boss: ...A weak point? I can do that! *And though Yuu had failed to catch him... with his current position, Boss had an amazing and/or rather cruel idea. He reared back one of the hands he had borrowed, its back opening up to reveal a small turbine.* HELL SLAP! *And the turbine lets out a steam of flame like a rocket booster as the spiked hand aims for the eye... And probably falls apart not long after!+
tengusaur
: * "Can you detect any sigils yet, Wendell?" Werter kicks off the shield and tries to avoid the giant blade by quickly flying far away, out of its range! Only then he lands on the ground again.+
llamaqueen190
: Unlike the first battles with the colossi, it takes no time for Wendell to notice the weak spot near where Argus' heart would be. A quick glance over Barba reveals his is nearly identical in placement, only on the right side of the body instead. "Yes... The one with the sword has one near its heart, and the other has one near its right shoulder. Just a matter of getting to them."
wyverncakes
: [Boss] And your hand launches out, aiming straight at Barbas's eye... and in fact even blowing through it and tearing out a small chunk of its face. Unfortunately, with Colossi, eyes are not what you need to be aiming for, and even though you've put the monster in some discomfort it's now just intending to slap you itself, with its big stony hand!

Meraxa
: Boss: Ah! Ah! Move move move! *Boss desperately tries to pull out the arm, in doing so DEFINITELY destroying the hand... but can he leap away in time?!+
wyverncakes
: [Werter] It's a bit of a close call, Werter, and as you flip away, Argus's sword clips Prometheus's lance! The weapon is dented and bent out of shape, the force making you spiral a bit more through the air than you probably intended. At least your landing isn't absolutely terrible.
wyverncakes
: (Approved)
llamaqueen190
: The destination on Argus' body set, Wendell pauses a moment to synchronize with the giant footsteps, before pushing Sigil to leap for the colossus' ankle. The first step on a long journey upward.+
macprysm
: Yuu: "ANCHOOOR CHAAAAAAAAAIN!" The X-Buster's rocket chain flies out to try to catch the collosus's arm before it can hit the Borot. The large super robot doublehands the chain if it catches, adding in its paralyzing "PLASMA HOLD!" as well! +
Overman Zappa
: *MarKus, hearing the location of that sigil starts trying to help out by aiming to take limbs off. As such, taking his spiffy shot-lancer knockoff he fires wildly at Argus's sort arm, at least until he for-sure starts hitting the shoulder!+
wyverncakes
: [Wendell] Fortunately with Werter providing a distraction, you're able to scale up Argus's body with ease! At least at first... before it suddenly just jumps in the air slightly and bends its knees. Oh crap, you're now parallel with the ground, and closing in fast as the Colossus nears it!
: (React: Wendell)
: [Boss and Yuu} The Anchor chain latches out and catches Barba's arm... but it only holds for a few moments even with the benefits of the plasma hold! It's enough for Boss to fortunately get free, but moments later and Yuu's chain snaps... causing the Colossus's hand to suddenly jerk out and smash most of its face in!
: Barba's still standing, even with a complete and uncomical pancake face, but the entire monster's posture is now suffering quite badly!
Meraxa
: Boss: Thank you, Mister Hero! *Congrats Yuu, you've got a thumbs up from both machine and its master*
wyverncakes
: (Yuu can take his turn now if he'd like)
tengusaur
: # Wendell
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] Your assault on Argus is cut somewhat short as the monster protects its body with its shield, but said shield is nevertheless getting pelted and damaged gradually by your shorts! And its response? A lunging stab right at you!
: (React: MarKus)
: (Approved)
Overman Zappa
: *Kind of hard not to telegraph that, and so, he takes upward with a "TOH!", keeping the shots as trained on the same spot as he can while ascending, hopefully up over the stab!+
macprysm
: Yuu: "Here we go, Boss, find it's weakpoint with this opening! LARIATTTO!" *The pancake-faced's collosus is about to find what happens when a spiked shoulderblade slams into its side!+
tengusaur
: * Werter flies above, throws a plasma lasso towards Sigil, and quickly pulls it closer and away from the ground if/when Wendell grabs it! "Hold on!" +
llamaqueen190
: Wendell seizes the opportunity, and the lasso. "Got it!"+
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] Yes, size advantages go both ways, and you manage to evade the blade before your shots now strike Argus's arm unimpeded, knocking off bits of stone and metal!
Overman Zappa
: "Work that fuckin arm!" he shouts as the camera of the RP focus pans away from him.
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] Unfortunately Yuu, you're still much, much too small for that to do more than annoy it. And make Barba expose its weak point on its chest as it moves to knock you away, but it's still not hurt too severely from your own, small-scale attack!
wyverncakes
: (Boss, Werter, MarKus)
: [Werter and Wendell] The quick thinking lets you save the Sigil from being smashed to bits, and now up in the air you've got a good vantage point of Argus's own core!
: BUT
: As you are doing this... the ground begins to shake!
: Quite profusely in fact!
Meraxa
: Boss: Yosh-ah-ah-ah-ah! What's with the ruckus?!
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "And... I think that's number..."
tengusaur
: Werter: "Sounds like the hidden one is about to join the fray..."
wyverncakes
: At once, a massive tower-like being shoots up from the ground below, dwarfing all of you.
: It is a colossus even in comparison to its fellow colossi.
macprysm
: Yuu looks down at the mission timer on his dashboard. "It's early! Way too early!"
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "Number sixteen..."
: (Updated enemy list: Argus, Barba, Malus)
llamaqueen190
: (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2n0xdd49M4 ))
tengusaur
: Werter: "Even more gigantic..."
Meraxa
: Boss: Its like... a massive colossus! A... Malus, if you will!
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "... Doesn't matter. It's all the same. Take it down, a piece at a time if needed."
macprysm
: Yuu: "That size and structure...is this the mythic god, Zeus?!"
Overman Zappa
: *MarKus takes a second to land before heading upward again, trying to get his way up onto that damaged shoulder of Argus. "Yo Wendell... I'm gonna try and take it's arm off! Make a move bro!" But first,getting up TO the arm &
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] It's easier done than said though. Argus's taken quite a few nasty hits, and he's still trying to get standing again after his little ground-pounding maneuver. You're free and clear to continue, MarKus!
: (Continue: MarKus)
Meraxa
: Boss: Nevertheless... I'm going to conquer that thing!
tengusaur
: * "Alright, let's focus. Let's finish this one first! Watch out, we're moving in!" Werter soars towards Argus' weakpoint, pulling Sigil behind him in mid-air and giving Wendell an opportunity to land on the Colossus! Prometheus slams into its weakpoint with a plasma-wreathed kick, then extends several green plasma tentacles and uses them to stab at the rock-like flesh around the weakpoint and try to crumble it off. +
Overman Zappa
: *The Technica lands on the shoulder, and does the most unimpressive Rider Kick he's ever done. He just stomps his foot down and blasts the plasma canon right from the foot... without even CALLING it! +
Meraxa
: Boss: Boss Borot...! IKEEEEEEEEEEEE! *Boss Borot charges at the newly risen Colossus, leaping towards it and...! Holding down the R1 button for as long as possible as the epic climb begins!+
macprysm
: Yuu smirks. "That'll be a heck of a story to tell Kabuto...Don't look down, Boss!"
wyverncakes
: [MarKus and Wendell] Your joint assault gets Argus in a mighty pickle to say the least! MarKus's attack tears off more and more of the monster's sword arm, to the point it finally lets go of the blade... and as it tries to grab at Prometheus and Sigil, Prometheus's attack on its core causes it to thrash in agony...
: Wendell, forget waiting until your turn, there's no time like the present!
: GO FOR IT!
Overman Zappa
: Thrashing means WHEEEEEE, MarKus goes flailing off the shoulder!
llamaqueen190
: Wendell turns Sigil's body mid-air so that it's falling in a crouched position, sword out, pointing directly at the weakpoint.+
wyverncakes
: [Boss] Said epic climb is going to be over almost immediately though. An explosive blast is released from Malus's hands, and Boss Borot is blown away... only to be snatched up in Malus's grasp and then punched into the atmosphere team rocket style!
: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
: (Boss: Downed)
macprysm
: Yuu winces. "...or not."
Meraxa
: Boss: Oioioioioioioi! At least turn off that headliiiiiiiiiiiiight! *And Boss is gone with a 'ding', a twinkle in the sky*
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "Oh don't be worried. Even if ends up in space he'll be fine."
wyverncakes
: [Wendell] But in the face of this dark setback, losing the valiant Boss and his Borot, Wendell's blade still strikes true! It sinks into Argus's core, the entire being going slack and just sorta... falling back and collapsing. One down, two to go!
mad4space@hotmail.com has left the room. 9:42 pm
wyverncakes
: Oh yeah, and Wendell, those icky tentacle things are going to rise up again and do their stuff on you. Hey, at least they're not going after Mana.
: (Wendell and Werter)
: (Err, Yuu, sorry)
tengusaur
: Werter: "That's one! One of ours as well, but he'll be fine."
Overman Zappa
: MarKus: "How is he going to be fine. How does that thing even WORK!? It's just... steel... Plainass steel..."
tengusaur
: And he wasn't taht much help in the first place, but Werter is not a jerk to say that.
macprysm
: Yuu grimaces at Barba. This thing broke his damn chain, but at least it's shown off a nice weak point. "Your boss is here, we don't need you to stick around anymore! BUSTER BEEEEAM!!!" The X-Buster's eye lasers fire at the legs of the beast, kicking up dust as the machine jumps forward, aiming to grab onto that manly, rugged beard. "This is the end for you!" &
llamaqueen190
: Wendell grits his teeth against the pain from Argus' death throes and tentacles, Sigil sliding down the pile of rubble that was the Colossus' body. It staggers a bit when it hits the ground. Even after so long, the pain is no less. No time to stop now. Wendell starts running for Barba through the haze. "Almost... Stay awake..." Sigil flings itself at Barba's legs, hopefully while it's distracted.+
Overman Zappa
: MarKus: "Just two more man! We can do this. Remember, it's all for her!"
wyverncakes
: [Wendell and Yuu] Distracted is an understatement, Wendell! The Buster Beam carves them up a little bit, giving Yuu the chance to lunge forward and grab at the monster's beard. But Barba's gonna respond by slapping its hands together to try to crush the bastard that tricked it into smashing its face off! Wendell, you've now got a good hold!
: (React/continue: you two)
wyverncakes
: (Werter and MarKus can also act)
llamaqueen190
: Sigil scrambles up the Giant-Dwarf, making its way up its leg and around to its front. So close, Wendell's focus cleared the pain from his vision.+
wyverncakes
: (That going to be the extent of your action, Wendell?)
macprysm
: The X-Buster grins as its chest starts to heat up, releasing his grip as he cries out the attack with all of his JUSTICE!
"CROOOOOSSSS...BRRRREEEEAAAAKAAAAAAH!!!"
The Chest Blaster fires off with all of its force, catching the beast right in the convently lit up weak point on its chest, while propelling the X-Buster backwards...hopefully out of reach of its counterattack.+
Overman Zappa
: While Wendell goes to climb, MarKus gets in the Dwarf's face to create a distraction. The more focused it is on him shooting off beams in it's face, the better Wendel can do! "C'mon! Gimme a reason to stab you in the face!" he taunts it+
tengusaur
: * "The final one needs some softening up... And I'm still not sure what it can do, so watch out." Werter lands on the ground and throws several large, serrated plasma wheels towards Malus, making them spin in mid-air and attack from different directions! +
llamaqueen190
: A little more awkward this time, clinging to the monster's chest fur as it thrashed rather than falling out of the sky. Sigil switches its grip on the sword to a grip more appropriate for a knife to jab at the glowing weakness.+
wyverncakes
: [Werter] Malus seems honestly kinda stationary, which is good since it means it just has to bear the brunt of your plasma wheels! However, with so much mass behind it, even Prometheus's attack does little to harm the colossus before it thursts its fists out, releasing massive explosive blasts at you!
: (React: Werter)
tengusaur
: * "Right. It has ranged attacks, unlike the other two!" Werter uses a plasma burst to jump quickly to the side, trying to hide behind whatever obstacles might be present!+
wyverncakes
: [Yuu, MarKus, and Wendell] MarKus and Yuu are, to say the least, very effective in distracting Barba! Cross Breaker tears into the monster's body, and MarKus's bombastic display are an ideal opening... and just like its fellow Colossus, Barba is stabbed in its core and dies!
: But don't be celebrating just yet, because there's still Malus to worry about, and further explosive blasts that are fired not at you, but at the ground! Rock and earth are blown up at high velocities, going towards all three of you!
: (React: Wendell, MarKus, Yuu)
wyverncakes
: [Werter] The problem with explosive blasts is that even a near-hit still counts as a hit, and Prometheus is rocked by one blast is narrowly evades! Still, you're doing alright otherwise.
llamaqueen190
: Wendell moves around Barba's breaking body, using it as a shield from Malus' attack.+
macprysm
: Yuu: "You two, behind me! PLASMA FIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEELD!!!" The Guardian Robot deploys its forcefield in an attempt to shield itself and allies. Hopefully it's effective against whatever those blasts are made of....+

: Werter: "Alright, that giant size is not just for show...!"
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] Fortunately the blasts are the least of your concern! Rather, it's the shrapnel that they've kicked up into you three... X-Buster's shield manages to hold against that! And a good thing too, because Wendell, you're getting anothe nasty dose of dark energy emenating from Barba's remains!
: (Wendell, Yuu)
llamaqueen190
: Wendell blacks out. Sigil goes lifeless and tumbles to the ground less gracefully than before. The blackout is only a moment, and Sigil turns the crash landing into a roll at the last minute. Not a very graceful roll that ends in a skid in the ruined earth. "Nughh..."
wyverncakes
: Still... one enemy left to go. And it's big and can bring a lot of firepower to bear, but you haven't come here to lose at the final moment!
llamaqueen190
: Wendell pushes Sigil to a standing position. "L-... Last one. You said it has... has ranged attacks? I'll need cover... to get close."
Overman Zappa
: MarKus land and gets beside Sigil. If he has to, he'll support the thing on it's own legs. "C'mon Wendell... One more man..."
tengusaur
: Werter: "I'll give you all the cover you need."
wyverncakes
: [Werter] Your lance plunges down, but Argus is not just going to stand by as you deliver your breatdown and raises its shield to stop your lance! In the meantime, its own large blade swings up in response to cut you down!
: (React: Werter)
Overman Zappa
: MarKus's mind is blown. "How did it not... just... crumple.
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] The punches carry more speed than you might've expected, but you still manage to evade without even being grazed. And yes, weak points do seem to be the order of the day against these creatures!
Meraxa
: Boss: ...A weak point? I can do that! *And though Yuu had failed to catch him... with his current position, Boss had an amazing and/or rather cruel idea. He reared back one of the hands he had borrowed, its back opening up to reveal a small turbine.* HELL SLAP! *And the turbine lets out a steam of flame like a rocket booster as the spiked hand aims for the eye... And probably falls apart not long after!+
tengusaur
: * "Can you detect any sigils yet, Wendell?" Werter kicks off the shield and tries to avoid the giant blade by quickly flying far away, out of its range! Only then he lands on the ground again.+
llamaqueen190
: Unlike the first battles with the colossi, it takes no time for Wendell to notice the weak spot near where Argus' heart would be. A quick glance over Barba reveals his is nearly identical in placement, only on the right side of the body instead. "Yes... The one with the sword has one near its heart, and the other has one near its right shoulder. Just a matter of getting to them."
wyverncakes
: [Boss] And your hand launches out, aiming straight at Barbas's eye... and in fact even blowing through it and tearing out a small chunk of its face. Unfortunately, with Colossi, eyes are not what you need to be aiming for, and even though you've put the monster in some discomfort it's now just intending to slap you itself, with its big stony hand!

macprysm
: #Boss
Meraxa
: Boss: Ah! Ah! Move move move! *Boss desperately tries to pull out the arm, in doing so DEFINITELY destroying the hand... but can he leap away in time?!+
wyverncakes
: [Werter] It's a bit of a close call, Werter, and as you flip away, Argus's sword clips Prometheus's lance! The weapon is dented and bent out of shape, the force making you spiral a bit more through the air than you probably intended. At least your landing isn't absolutely terrible.
wyverncakes
: (Approved)
llamaqueen190
: The destination on Argus' body set, Wendell pauses a moment to synchronize with the giant footsteps, before pushing Sigil to leap for the colossus' ankle. The first step on a long journey upward.+
macprysm
: Yuu: "ANCHOOOR CHAAAAAAAAAIN!" The X-Buster's rocket chain flies out to try to catch the collosus's arm before it can hit the Borot. The large super robot doublehands the chain if it catches, adding in its paralyzing "PLASMA HOLD!" as well! +
Overman Zappa
: *MarKus, hearing the location of that sigil starts trying to help out by aiming to take limbs off. As such, taking his spiffy shot-lancer knockoff he fires wildly at Argus's sort arm, at least until he for-sure starts hitting the shoulder!+
wyverncakes
: [Wendell] Fortunately with Werter providing a distraction, you're able to scale up Argus's body with ease! At least at first... before it suddenly just jumps in the air slightly and bends its knees. Oh crap, you're now parallel with the ground, and closing in fast as the Colossus nears it!
: (React: Wendell)
: [Boss and Yuu} The Anchor chain latches out and catches Barba's arm... but it only holds for a few moments even with the benefits of the plasma hold! It's enough for Boss to fortunately get free, but moments later and Yuu's chain snaps... causing the Colossus's hand to suddenly jerk out and smash most of its face in!
: Barba's still standing, even with a complete and uncomical pancake face, but the entire monster's posture is now suffering quite badly!
Meraxa
: Boss: Thank you, Mister Hero! *Congrats Yuu, you've got a thumbs up from both machine and its master*
wyverncakes
: (Yuu can take his turn now if he'd like)
tengusaur
: # Wendell
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] Your assault on Argus is cut somewhat short as the monster protects its body with its shield, but said shield is nevertheless getting pelted and damaged gradually by your shorts! And its response? A lunging stab right at you!
: (React: MarKus)
: (Approved)
Overman Zappa
: *Kind of hard not to telegraph that, and so, he takes upward with a "TOH!", keeping the shots as trained on the same spot as he can while ascending, hopefully up over the stab!+
macprysm
: Yuu: "Here we go, Boss, find it's weakpoint with this opening! LARIATTTO!" *The pancake-faced's collosus is about to find what happens when a spiked shoulderblade slams into its side!+
tengusaur
: * Werter flies above, throws a plasma lasso towards Sigil, and quickly pulls it closer and away from the ground if/when Wendell grabs it! "Hold on!" +
llamaqueen190
: Wendell seizes the opportunity, and the lasso. "Got it!"+
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] Yes, size advantages go both ways, and you manage to evade the blade before your shots now strike Argus's arm unimpeded, knocking off bits of stone and metal!
Overman Zappa
: "Work that fuckin arm!" he shouts as the camera of the RP focus pans away from him.
wyverncakes
: [Yuu] Unfortunately Yuu, you're still much, much too small for that to do more than annoy it. And make Barba expose its weak point on its chest as it moves to knock you away, but it's still not hurt too severely from your own, small-scale attack!
wyverncakes
: (Boss, Werter, MarKus)
: [Werter and Wendell] The quick thinking lets you save the Sigil from being smashed to bits, and now up in the air you've got a good vantage point of Argus's own core!
: BUT
: As you are doing this... the ground begins to shake!
: Quite profusely in fact!
Meraxa
: Boss: Yosh-ah-ah-ah-ah! What's with the ruckus?!
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "And... I think that's number..."
tengusaur
: Werter: "Sounds like the hidden one is about to join the fray..."
wyverncakes
: At once, a massive tower-like being shoots up from the ground below, dwarfing all of you.
: It is a colossus even in comparison to its fellow colossi.
macprysm
: Yuu looks down at the mission timer on his dashboard. "It's early! Way too early!"
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "Number sixteen..."
: (Updated enemy list: Argus, Barba, Malus)
llamaqueen190

tengusaur
: Werter: "Even more gigantic..."
Meraxa
: Boss: Its like... a massive colossus! A... Malus, if you will!
llamaqueen190
: Wendell: "... Doesn't matter. It's all the same. Take it down, a piece at a time if needed."
macprysm
: Yuu: "That size and structure...is this the mythic god, Zeus?!"
Overman Zappa
: *MarKus takes a second to land before heading upward again, trying to get his way up onto that damaged shoulder of Argus. "Yo Wendell... I'm gonna try and take it's arm off! Make a move bro!" But first,getting up TO the arm &
wyverncakes
: [MarKus] It's easier done than said though. Argus's taken quite a few nasty hits, and he's still trying to get standing again after his little ground-pounding maneuver. You're free and clear to continue, MarKus!
: (Continue: MarKus)
Meraxa
: Boss: Nevertheless... I'm going to conquer that thing!
tengusaur
: * "Alright, let's focus. Let's finish this one first! Watch out, we're moving in!" Werter soars towards Argus' weakpoint, pulling Sigil behind him in mid-air and giving Wendell an opportunity to land on the Colossus! Prometheus slams into its weakpoint with a plasma-wreathed kick, then extends several green plasma tentacles and uses them to stab at the rock-like flesh around the weakpoint and try to crumble it off. +
Overman Zappa
: *The Technica lands on the shoulder, and does the most unimpressive Rider Kick he's ever done. He just stomps his foot down and blasts the plasma canon right from the foot... without even CALLING it! +
Meraxa
: Boss: Boss Borot...! IKEEEEEEEEEEEE! *Boss Borot charges at the newly risen Colossus, leaping towards it and...! Holding down the R1 button for as long as possible as the epic climb begins!+
macprysm
: Yuu smirks. "That'll be a heck of a story to tell Kabuto...Don't look down, Boss!"
wyverncakes
: [MarKus and Wendell] Your joint assault gets Argus in a mighty pickle to say the least! MarKus's attack tears off more and more of the monster's sword arm, to the point it finally lets go of the blade... and as it tries to grab at Prometheus and Sigil, Prometheus's attack on its core causes it to thrash in agony...
: Wendell, forget waiting until your turn, there's no time like the present!
: GO FOR IT!
Overman Zappa
: Thrashing means WHEEEEEE, MarKus goes flailing off the shoulder!
llamaqueen190
: Wendell turns Sigil's body mid-air so that it's falling in a crouched position, sword out, pointing directly at the weakpoint.+
wyverncakes
: [Boss] Said epic climb is going to be over almost immediately though. An explosive blast is released from Malus's hands, and Boss Borot is blown away... only to be snatched up in Malus's grasp and then punched into the atmosphere team rocket style!
: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
: (Boss: Downed)
macprysm
: Yuu winces. "...or not."
Meraxa
: Boss: Oioioioioioioi! At least turn off that headliiiiiiiiiiiiight! *And Boss is gone with a 'ding', a twinkle in the sky*
wyverncakes
: Ayame: "Oh don't be worried. Even if ends up in space he'll be fine."
wyverncakes
: [Wendell] But in the face of this dark setback, losing the valiant Boss and his Borot, Wendell's blade still strikes true! It sinks into Argus's core, the entire being going slack and just sorta... falling back and collapsing. One down, two to go!
mad4space@hotmail.com has left the room. 9:42 pm
wyverncakes
: Oh yeah, and Wendell, those icky tentacle things are going to rise up again and do their stuff on you. Hey, at least they're not going after Mana.
: (Wendell and Werter)
: (Err, Yuu, sorry)
tengusaur
: Werter: "That's one! One of ours as well, but he'll be fine."
Overman Zappa
: MarKus: "How is he going to be fine. How does that thing even WORK!? It's just... steel... Plainass steel..."
tengusaur
: And he wasn't taht much help in the first place, but Werter is not a jerk to say that.
macprysm
: Yuu grimaces at Barba. This thing broke his damn chain, but at least it's shown off a nice weak point. "Your boss is here, we don't need you to stick around anymore! BUSTER BEEEEAM!!!" The X-Buster's eye lasers fire at the legs of the beast, kicking up dust as the machine jumps forward, aiming to grab onto that manly, rugged beard. "This is the end for you!" &
llamaqueen190
: Wendell grits his teeth against the pain from Argus' death throes and tentacles, Sigil sliding down the pile of rubble that was the Colossus' body. It staggers a bit when it hits the ground. Even after so long, the pain is no less. No time to stop now. Wendell starts running for Barba through the haze. "Almost... Stay awake..." Sigil flings itself at Barba's legs, hopefully while it's distracted.+
Overman Zappa
: MarKus: "Just two more man! We can do this. Remember, it's all for her!"
wyverncakes
: [Wendell and Yuu] Distracted is an understatement, Wendell! The Buster Beam carves them up a little bit, giving Yuu the chance to lunge forward and grab at the monster's beard. But Barba's gonna respond by slapping its hands together to try to crush the bastard that tricked it into smashing its face off! Wendell, you've now got a good hold!
: (React/continue: you two)
wyverncakes
: (Werter and MarKus can also act)
llamaqueen190
: Sigil scrambles up the Giant-Dwarf, making its way up its leg and around to its front. So close, Wendell's focus cleared the pain from his vision.+
wyverncakes
: (That going to be the extent of your action, Wendell?)
macprysm
: The X-Buster grins as its chest starts to heat up, releasing his grip as he cries out the attack with all of his JUSTICE!
"CROOOOOSSSS...BRRRREEEEAAAAKAAAAAAH!!!"
The Chest Blaster fires off with all of its force, catching the beast right in the convently lit up weak point on its chest, while propelling the X-Buster backwards...hopefully out of reach of its counterattack.+
Overman Zappa
: While Wendell goes to climb, MarKus gets in the Dwarf's face to create a distraction. The more focused it is on him shooting off beams in it's face, the better Wendel can do! "C'mon! Gimme a reason to stab you in the face!" he taunts it+
tengusaur
: * "The final one needs some softening up... And I'm still not sure what it can do, so watch out." Werter lands on the ground and throws several large, serrated plasma wheels towards Malus, making them spin in mid-air and attack from different directions! +
llamaqueen190
: A little more awkward this time, clinging to the monster's chest fur as it thrashed rather than falling out of the sky. Sigil switches its grip on the sword to a grip more appropriate for a knife to jab at the glowing weakness.+
wyverncakes
: [Werter] Malus seems honestly kinda stationary, which is good since it means it just has to bear the brunt of your plasma wheels! However, with so much mass behind it, even Prometheus's attack does little to harm the colossus before it thursts its fists out, releasing massive explosive blasts at you!
: (React: Werter)
tengusaur
: * "Right. It has ranged attacks, unlike the other two!" Werter uses a plasma burst to jump quickly to the side, trying to hide behind whatever obstacles might be present!+
wyverncakes
: [Yuu, MarKus, and Wendell] MarKus and Yuu are, to say the least, very effective in distracting Barba! Cross Breaker tears into the monster's body, and MarKus's bombastic display are an ideal opening... and just like its fellow Colossus, Barba is stabbed in its core and dies!
: But don't be celebrating just yet, because there's still Malus to worry about, and further explosive blasts that are fired not at you, but at the ground! Rock and earth are blown up at high velocities, going towards all three of you!
: (React: Wendell, MarKus, Yuu)
wyverncakes
: [Werter] The problem with explosive blasts is that even a near-hit still counts as a hit, and Prometheus is rocked by one blast is narrowly evades! Still, you're doing alright otherwise.
llamaqueen190
: Wendell moves around Barba's breaking body, using it as a shield from Malus' attack.+
macprysm
: Yuu: "You two, behind me! PLASMA FIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEELD!!!" The Guardian Robot deploys its forcefield in an attempt to shield itself and allies. Hopefully it's effective against whatever those blasts are made of....+

: Werter: "Just don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
macprysm
: Yuu: "Hang in there, Wendell! We've got one more left...this one's gonna be a doozy, I can tell..." Yuu grimaces, holding the Plasma Field steady. "I can get you there, so hang on. This is your fight to finish!" The X-Buster fires off a volley of Cluster Missiles, more to kick up dust and provide a smokescreen than deal lasting damage.+
llamaqueen190
: "I'm fine. It's for her. I'll be... okay." Sigil starts walking towards Malus, picking up speed as Wendell clears his head of the agony. He keeps his eye on Malus' hands, waiting for the attack he knows is coming...+
wyverncakes
: [Wendell and Yuu] The missile rain down on Malus's form, hammering into it and chipping away at its body. But it also helps distract Malus and keep its attention off of Wendell! And sure enough, those hands fire their blasts, not at the Sigil but at X-Buster instead!
