VJockey (02:35:43): The Storm Grave
VJockey (02:36:09): This ominous area within a mountain range is shrouded in fear and mystery
VJockey (02:37:29): Sprawled within the rocks and trails, choking the few valleys and crevasses are long stretches of wreckage and dilapitated and shredded husks of aged and rusting machinery.
VJockey (02:38:08): You think you can spot a few pre-impact space craft along with ships from the One Year War among them.
VJockey (02:38:35): As the thunder cracks above. What is everyone doing as they traverse the trails of the mountain?
macprysm (02:38:48): Yuu's simply grinning from ear to ear. Not only was his machine at a total advantage in thunderstorms like this one, but it also provided a truly epic and blazing battlefield on which to dispense JUSTICE. The X-Buster's lightning rod-adorned form is taking point on this mission, arms crossed as it strides towards the target area.
tengusaur (02:39:36): Raynor looks around the mechanical graveyard, trying to make sure nothing escapes his attention. Paragon is slowly riding along the other mecha on its motorbike, the robot in its white and golden Paladin form.
tengusaur (02:39:59): Raynor: "The Shadow Knights are somewhere around... I can feel their presence in this area. Be careful."
HyprKnux 1 (02:40:03): Think Kouji's bothered? Ha! Not him. With him and Mazinkaiser around, nothing is frightening!
Meraxa (02:40:34): Richard is... mostly keeping to himself, sitting on the back of Paragon's motorcycle. No sword this time - he's here more to make sure Raynor's arm doesn't act up when put the test. But just... man, he can't keep his head straight lately...
Lake of Archers (02:41:13): Gaza D is flying low; tightlipped, Bernie looks around at everything. From the storm above to the mech graveyard below. He hummed...sounding uncomfortable.
sketchbookfiend (02:41:32): Loran was starting to think he had signed up for the wrong mission on this one. Thunderstorms were still an alien concept but he had to power on with the White Doll. It's not like he had much other choice now.
Lake of Archers (02:41:43): (gaza D = MA mode)
VJockey (02:43:11): Things seem to be calm... if disconcerting. Shadows dance and stretch with each rumbling crack of lightning above. But no. No Shadow Knights.... not yet.
VJockey (02:43:23): But there is something else...
VJockey (02:46:33): Hovering above the crumbling skeleton of a truly enormous ship was an odd looking machine - one that was pumping columns of energy straight into the sky - were one to follow the pillar of crackling fury to the sky - they would notice the whiplashes of lightning echoing through the black clouds above and soon making their fury known elsewhere!
tengusaur (02:47:16): Raynor: "A weather machine?"
VJockey (02:47:19): "GENTLEMEN"
VJockey (02:47:26): "WELCOME!"
Meraxa (02:47:32): Richard... raises his head, peaking up at the strange weather, and then turns at the voice. "The heck-?"
HyprKnux 1 (02:47:38): Kouji: "Eh?"
VJockey (02:47:40): (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDUxc6MLXoM)
sketchbookfiend (02:47:53): Loran:"...um"
macprysm (02:48:09): Yuu: .....!!!!
VJockey (02:48:25): "It has been a LONG TIME! Hasn't it Kanazuki Yuushahiiro?"
tengusaur (02:48:29): Raynor: "And that sounds like the scientist who built it!"
VJockey (02:49:02): "But then... MEN OF SCIENCE are men of PATIENCE!"
macprysm (02:49:05): Yuu: ...That voice...Old Man Tesla, so this is where you were exiled from the X-Buster Project....
VJockey (02:49:06): "BAHAHAHAAHHA!"
VJockey (02:49:23): (Professor Tesla: http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-ash4/c149.50.625.625/s160x160/374123_474220395933436_1827086515_n.png )
tengusaur (02:49:25): Raynor: "...Tesla?"
tengusaur (02:49:32): Raynor: "THAT Tesla?"
VJockey (02:49:55): "And I see you brought FRIENDS! How QUAINT!"
VJockey (02:50:10): "You! You are the PARAGON are you not?!"
tengusaur (02:50:35): Raynor: "I see you heard of me. What are you planning to do with this machine?"
Meraxa (02:50:40): "...You know him...?" Richard asks, struggling to clamber around the motorcycle, and get a look at the distant figure.
macprysm (02:51:13): Yuu: A descendant of the famous electrophysicist. Yeah...he's quite brilliant, and helped design some of the early stages of my machine...but then he was caught funneling off funds for his own projects...like combustable lemon guns and mantis men. He swore it was all for the sake of "SCIENCE".
tengusaur (02:51:22): Raynor: "The name is very familiar... But if it's the Tesla I'm thinking about, I'm surprised he's still alive!"
VJockey (02:51:29): "Oh... I HAVE heard of him... From my......ALLIES!!!!!!"
Lake of Archers (02:52:16): Bernie: "He doesn't sound too good..."
VJockey (02:52:21): At this several gunshots ring out from the shadows of the many wrecks of the graveyard! Every single one slamming into the various loudspeakers on ALL of the machines present!
VJockey (02:52:40): Black ooze spreads and congeals around them.
tengusaur (02:52:44): Raynor: "This... crap! Watch out!"
VJockey (02:52:53): "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
HyprKnux 1 (02:52:53): Kouji: "Woah...!"
tengusaur (02:53:04): Raynor raises his shield, trying to block the ooze!
tengusaur (02:53:11): But he's probably too late...
VJockey (02:53:19): No dice Raynor. You ARE too late.
VJockey (02:53:48): "Welcome Paragon"
sketchbookfiend (02:53:54): Loran:"Wait, how can he be a descendant...wasn't Tesla celeba- WOAH!" Nothing to interrupt a logical analysis like gunshots and chaos ooze.
macprysm (02:53:56): Yuu: ...and apparently the time alone did nothing for your personality, Old man...what kind of crowd did you fall into...
Meraxa (02:54:23): Richard: Only one so fixated on Raynor... they're here!
tengusaur (02:54:25): Raynor: "Damn, I can't play my music... And *they're* here!"
VJockey (02:54:50): The Shadow Champion emerges from the shadows of the wreck that Tesla's machine was hovering over. And as one, several more knights emerge as well.
macprysm (02:55:08): Yuu: Clever...overriding our theme music power ups....
tengusaur (02:55:14): Raynor: "I'm surprised you allied with a human! Alex Globing!"
VJockey (02:55:24): Beside the Champion was a unique Shadow Knight - armed with a large rifle. The one who shut down the speakers no doubt.
VJockey (02:56:02): "He is a means to an end. The same way he sees us. As far as I am concerned... he will keep your allies busy while we seal your fate Paragon"
tengusaur (02:56:37): Raynor: "Tch... Don't think I will give up just because I can't play music..."
VJockey (02:57:12): Tired of remaining quiet, Professor Tesla soon barks out again.
Lake of Archers (02:57:13): Bernie: You know what to do!
VJockey (02:57:56): "To answer the PARAGON's QUESTION. I intend to use this machine.... FOR SCIENCE!"
VJockey (02:58:07): Tesla cackles maniacally.
Meraxa (02:58:14): Richard: And by science, you mean evil, right?
VJockey (02:58:47): "You see! I have been manipulating the Storm Grave's unique background energy readings.... TO GENERATE MORE PLASMA X ENERGY!"
VJockey (02:59:15): "With it! I have been able to push forward more of my own experiments.... FOR SCIENCE!"
VJockey (02:59:20): "BEHOLD!"
VJockey (02:59:27): "MY CREATIONS!"
sketchbookfiend (02:59:27): Loran: "Does he always yell like this?"
HyprKnux 1 (02:59:45): Kouji: "Certainly sounds like it
macprysm (02:59:45): Yuu: But OF COURSE!
Lake of Archers (03:00:22): Bernie: Maybe it's the energy
VJockey (03:00:34): At his call several bestial machines tear through from the junk. The cries of animal suffering and agony issue from every single one.
macprysm (03:00:35): Yuu: ...wait, you're making Plasma X?! Then, you could make machines just as strong and powerful as the X-Buster!
VJockey (03:00:54): "By using Plasma X - I HAVE FUSED ANIMAL AND MACHINE INTO POWERFUL WEAPONS!"
tengusaur (03:01:05): Raynor: "What! This is inhumane!"
Meraxa (03:01:06): Richard's eyes widen... oh lord.
macprysm (03:01:07): Yuu: ...w-what has SCIENCE done?!
HyprKnux 1 (03:01:11): Kouji: "...aw, jeez...! That's not science, that's just sick and twisted!"
VJockey (03:01:39): "And that is MY GOAL KANAZUKI YUUSHAHIIRO! Unbound by something as PETTY as MORALITY! I shall create the ULTIMATE PLASMA X WEAPON KNOWN TO MAN!"
sketchbookfiend (03:02:05): Loran:"Sounds like you're just an insane freak to me."
Meraxa (03:02:21): Richard: ...Urgh. Let's deal with this guy whilst we can.
macprysm (03:02:32): Yuu: There's a fine line between genius and madness, they say....
Meraxa (03:03:03): Richard: Raynor!
macprysm (03:03:27): Yuu's X-Buster points dramatically as a bolt strikes his machine! "...but you crossed it long ago, Old Man! We're ending this exploitation of SCIENCE here today!"
VJockey (03:03:51): Magnezoner (Professor Tesla) (https://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/m/image/1270/84/1270844256281.png)

tengusaur (03:04:02): Raynor: "Science is good on its own, but not when it's used without ethics and creates horrible abominations. Let's end this..."
VJockey (03:04:04): Shadow Champion (http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/champion.jpg.html)
Shadow Gunner (http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/gunner.jpg.html)
Shadow Knights (http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/knight.jpg.html) x15
tengusaur (03:05:11): Raynor: "Everyone, watch out! Without music, the only way to do anything to Shadow Knights is making a lot of noise while attacking!"
tengusaur (03:05:17): Raynor: "Yes, Richard!"
VJockey (03:05:39): Initiative: (Yuu, Raynor, Richard, Bernie, Kouji, Loran)
VJockey (03:05:46): (Yuu! RAYNOR! GO!)
Meraxa (03:06:04): Richard: ...Turn up the sound on your arm. And hope your machine's acoustic. *He says, hopping from the motorcyle as he summons... an evidently still slightly damaged Ideigi*
sketchbookfiend (03:06:04): Loran:"Isn't battle kind of noisy on it's own?"
tengusaur (03:06:43): Raynor tries doing just that...
tengusaur (03:06:57): Raynor: "Gah... It's blocked by the ooze too..."
tengusaur (03:07:27): Raynor: "Louder than usual! Like this!"
tengusaur (03:08:44): *Raynor rushes on the bike towards the closest Shadow Knight, raising the front wheel - spikes sprout out of it! He slams the wheel into the enemy, and slashes into it with his sword at the same time, releasing a small wave of golden energy!
macprysm (03:08:59): Yuu: The blazing thunder is falling like rain! Its a storming hail of shining JUSTICE! PLASMAAAAAAAAA...SPPPPAAAAAAAAARRRRRKKKUUUU! *Supercharged by the atmosphere, the X-Buster lets fly a devastating blast of electricity, right at the Magnezoner! Surely the rest will fall if he can take down the head!+
tengusaur (03:09:10): Raynor: "Take this! RADIANT STRIIIIKE!" +
VJockey (03:11:03): Raynor! That was loud... but not loud enough! That or the Shadow Knights are stronger.... or worse... both! The Knight in question was only mildly damaged before it swung its Halberd to knock Raynor off his Steed! React!
VJockey (03:11:14): "Suffer with me Paragon. Join us..."
VJockey (03:11:27): They seem.... more coherent then ever this time...
HyprKnux 1 (03:12:15): #Raynor?
tengusaur (03:12:37): "Tch... Music works much better..." Raynor raises his shield, trying to block the halberd's strike. A small flash of golden energy bursts from it towards the enemy, shaped like the Paragon's sign. "HOLY SHIELD!!" +
VJockey (03:13:54): Yuu! Unfortunately things are never that easy. The moment your massive energy blast looks to impact the Magnezoner - it disperses across a massive invisible wall! Arcing wildly across the Magnezoner.... and soon is channelled right into the Mecha-Beasts! Powering them up!
VJockey (03:13:58): That's right.
VJockey (03:14:11): Professor Tesla turned your attack into a buff for his MINIONS
macprysm (03:14:22): Yuu: P-plasma...f-field?! No, it's improved....
VJockey (03:15:08): (Approved. Kouji)
VJockey (03:15:26): "SCIENCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS!"
VJockey (03:15:55): "Now... Contribute to it... BY BEING A TEST SUBJECT FOR MY CREATIONS!"
VJockey (03:16:02): Translation: DIE
VJockey (03:16:44): Silver Cross and Fading Shadow are rushing towards the X-Buster at truly insane speeds - plasma X dancing across their frames! React!
Meraxa (03:17:03): #Yuu
HyprKnux 1 (03:17:04): Kouji: "Suffer THIS!" *And Kouji comes in for the save... with a right hook towards the Shadow Knight's face+
VJockey (03:17:44): (Approved. Richard)
VJockey (03:18:19): (Richard can take his turn after the results of the Support Defend. Bernie. Go.)
VJockey (03:19:39): Raynor! Kouji! The Shadow Knight's attack is fended off - though the Halberd manages to dig into the shield... they ARE getting stronger - though in this case the knight was sent straight into a scrap pile from the right hook... it was hurt by the attack... but was still able...
Meraxa (03:20:12): Richard: You claim to be performing science... What exactly IS THE POINT to this twisted idea?! *And Ideigi will suddenly swing out one of its broad arms into the path of Fading Shadow, attempting to knock it down by its neck+
tengusaur (03:20:22): Raynor: "Thanks! But he's still not down? They really are more powerful now..."
tengusaur (03:20:55): Raynor: "We need to find a way to get this ooze off..."
Lake of Archers (03:23:01): "Do I have to destroy those things?" Bernie gulped, and guided Gaza D towards one of the hybrid monsters. Sqeezing a trigger, it fired a couple of beam shots at one of the Ironhearts+ "I don't have to yell, but I'll do what I can!"
macprysm (03:24:04): The X-Buster reacts to the Black and White machines conversing on him..."BUSTER...BEEEEEEAM!" ...and as the eye lasers bare down on the Fading Shadow, the body turns to face the oncoming Silver Cross with "CROSS...BREEEEEAAAAKERRR!!!" Lets see how well it takes a Hyper Beam from the chest!+
VJockey (03:25:37): Yuu! Richard! Against any normal enemies that would have been a good way of dealing with them. In fact! If Tesla didn't supercharge them, the Fading Shadow and Silver Cross would have taken terrible terrible damage! But...
VJockey (03:28:28): Richard will find the Fading Shadow suddenly vanish into a flurry of disconcerting purple-black afterimages before getting around Ideigi and kicking it into the Buster Beam - it was only a graze across the shoulder - but still the damage was done! As for the Silver Cross - It spun wildly - scattering away the blast of the cross breaker along the scrapheap! Sending arcs of red hot molten metal into the air before it send a massive twin punch right into the X-Buster's Chest!
VJockey (03:30:28): Bernie! The Ironheard is practically ignoring the beam shots as they do nothing more than surface damage to it. In return however... it raises one of its hands and sends beamfire of its own in return! React!
Meraxa (03:30:43): Richard: Gah! Why you...! *Yeah well, time to see if the Professor's 'wondrous' science had been quite prepared for something like...* SOLAR PUNCH! *A great big fist of magical power. And a rather BIG one at that, compared to Ideigi's norm...+
tengusaur (03:30:59): # Bernie
VJockey (03:31:07): (Approved)
VJockey (03:32:07): Richard! Your Solar Punch manages to connect! The large fist of light slams the Fading Shadow into the hull of the crumbling ship... putting it out of sight for now.
tengusaur (03:32:24): * "Watch out, Bernie!" Pegasus sprouts a pair of energy wings and takes up into the sky. Raynor gets in the way of the beam! And he blocks it with Paragon's shield!+
Meraxa (03:32:33): Richard: That'll show ya...
Lake of Archers (03:32:35): Bernie: Uwah!
VJockey (03:32:36): (Kouji, Loran. Go)
sketchbookfiend (03:34:43): *Seeing as how beam weapons are doing jack and all to these things so far, Loran decides to undo a clip from the White Doll's hip and let loose- what's that? It's a Gundam Hammer. Which he starts swinging and running towards one of the Ironheads to swing the Hammer, aiming for it's center+
sketchbookfiend (03:35:04): Loran: "I'm not good at screaming so, I'll take these on!"
VJockey (03:35:08): Raynor! You'll find yourself pushed back by the heavy blasts - thankfully though it doesn't break through and Bernie is safe.
HyprKnux 1 (03:35:15): Kouji found himself in a bit of a bind - Raynor and Yuu were in trouble and they needed help of some sort... Yuu first. Those three wouldn't be able to handle such supercharged beasts on their own. "Oy! Big mouth! Think you're so tough with your machine? Try this on for size!" *With that, Mazinkaiser's chest plate lit up, ready for its powerful attack... "FIRE BLASTER!" and launches it at Magnezoner!+
tengusaur (03:36:25): After the defense, Raynor jumps down towards the ground, Pegasus flying off in its own direction (it will return soon enough).
tengusaur (03:36:51): Raynor: "Close... But it's all I need...!"
VJockey (03:39:57): Loran! The Ironheart is struck by the Gundam Hammer... it staggers and lets out a downright hearbreaking wail as massive amounts of what looks to be electrified blood soon pours from the massive breach into its side the hammer made. At this the Aquafangs leap up and turn into what can be described as an Animalistic MA mode and rush at the White Doll from several directions, attempting to take chunks out of it with several passes like a pack of winged piranhas!
VJockey (03:40:01): React!
VJockey (03:41:46): Kouji! The Crimson Wing leaps in front of the Magnezoner - absorbing the heat and dispersing it through its wings across the sea of shredded metal! "PHOTONIC ENERGY! Oh yes... this will be a GREAT TEST for my CREATIONS indeed!"
VJockey (03:43:09): The Frostbird Flock unleash storms of razorhail at the Mazinkaiser! While the initial shards are quite honestly absolutely nothing - the longer the four worked in concert Kouji would notice a tremendous spike of ice just as big as the Kaiser... maybe BIGGER being formed... and soon being LAUNCHED at it! REACT!
griefgathering (03:43:31): # Kouji
VJockey (03:44:06): (Approved)
sketchbookfiend (03:44:36): *Loran's never really had to take on that many things before so he hits the thrusters to full and ducks to attempt to slide under one, also while yanking back the Gundam Hammer and swinging it hoping to swat them away+
macprysm (03:44:55): #also Kouji
HyprKnux 1 (03:45:08): Kouji: "You think that'll stop me! I took on the Overdevil!" *Most people would be smart and dodge it. Let it come at him! Kouji's going to brace himself and CATCH the damn thing!+
griefgathering (03:45:48): *A small figure is going to get in the way of that ice spike - fast and almost unseen, wielding a blade charged with lightning!+
VJockey (03:45:57): (denied Yuu)
griefgathering (03:46:24): *And proceed to attempt to slice it apart, of course.+
VJockey (03:47:06): The massive Chunk of Ice is soon carved apart! The remaining chunks all but clatter against the Mazinkaiser as harmless as tossing Ice Cubes into a brick wall... MADE OF SUPER ALLOY Z!
griefgathering (03:47:20): But those of you who pay close attention may notice that this figure...isn't Neptune. Nor Purple Heart.
griefgathering (03:47:33): http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121212224433/metalgear/images/f/ff/RaidenRisingIntro.jpg
tengusaur (03:47:36): Raynor: "Who's that...?"
tengusaur (03:47:50): Raynor: "Sam? No..."
HyprKnux 1 (03:47:53): Kouji: "Wha...?!"
griefgathering (03:48:29): This person is also wearing a coat that billows in the wind. He flips to land on Mazinkaiser's shoulder.
griefgathering (03:48:51): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b82WavFKbOY
VJockey (03:49:22): Revised Initiative: (Raiden, Yuu, Raynor, Richard, Bernie, Kouji, Loran)
VJockey (03:49:32): (Raiden, Yuu, Raynor. GO)
tengusaur (03:49:55): Raynor: "Who are you, newcomer?"
griefgathering (03:50:37): The man smirks slightly. It's been a while since he used the words he's about to use...and it's pretty fitting given the battlefield...
griefgathering (03:50:49): "I am lightning. The rain transformed."
tengusaur (03:51:17): Raynor: "Is that so. As long as you're here to help, I am not going to argue!"
tengusaur (03:51:30): Raynor: "And speaking of help... I think I got it!"
tengusaur (03:52:12): +Raynor rushes forward towards the enemies hiding among the piles of metal wreckage, raising his sword to strike...!
tengusaur (03:52:18): * (no + yet)
VJockey (03:52:55): "And yet you fight, knowing its useless"
VJockey (03:53:02): The Champion merely mocks Raynor
VJockey (03:53:17): "Tell me Paragon, just how is your arm doing?"
tengusaur (03:53:37): Raynor: "As a matter of fact... It's better than ever, thanks for asking!"
Meraxa (03:54:01): Richard: ...*manages to perk up even slightly after the unintentional sting of the 'useless' remark*
tengusaur (03:54:16): *Raynor strikes... But he doesn't target an enemy! Instead, he hits a metal wreck with the flat of the blade, with all the force he can muster, sending out a ringing sound!
tengusaur (03:54:26): * And again, and again! Raynor is starting to play a melody!
VJockey (03:54:27): "!!!"
VJockey (03:54:34): "What-"
sketchbookfiend (03:54:52): Loran would say something to all this but he's busy pretending he's megaman with slides.
HyprKnux 1 (03:55:06): Kouji: "...Heh."
tengusaur (03:55:09): * The melody... is simply horrible. Remember how he was practicing Amazing Grace? It's the same song, and he didn't make much more progress.
VJockey (03:55:43): At this everyone would notice that the Shadow Knights, seemingly entangible at first were now becoming very much material - the music was so HORRIBLE ITS FORCING THEM INTO EXISTANCE.
tengusaur (03:55:48): * All the notes and melody are completely off, and the fact that it's played on a horribly loud "instrument" doesn't help. Also, Raynor is singing.
Lake of Archers (03:56:02): Bernie: T..that song!
tengusaur (03:56:11): Raynor: "Amaaaazeeeeeng Grrrrrace, how sweeeatttt the soou*cough*und..."
macprysm (03:56:19): Yuu: FIST...*The X-Buster rears back as it looks over the targets. The swarm of Aquafangs is busy with the Turn A...so they're his target!* of RADIANT JUUUUUSTICCCCCCEEEE!!!! *The Rocket Punch fires off, manual guidance in full effect as he brings the punch around the White Doll while trying to blindside the sharkbots!+
tengusaur (03:56:20): Raynor: "Everyone! Focus on the Shadow Gunner!"
tengusaur (03:56:21): +
Lake of Archers (03:56:35): Bernie: "YOU CAN DO IT!"
tengusaur (03:56:39): Raynor: "If he's gone, the ooze will disappear! It's a part of him!"
VJockey (03:57:41): Loran! Your swings barely manage to get anything - while you manage to send one of the Aquafangs off course, another snags the Gundam Hammer's chain - either let it go and lose it or get dragged along for the ride with the others chasing you trying to nip at the White Doll's heels!
griefgathering (03:58:41): *Even the cyborg notices this, and he cringes, but only for a bit before leaping off of Mazinkaiser and pressing the attack! Leaving a trail of electricity in his wake as he sprints, he rushes up to one of the Shadow Knights and prooceeds to carve it apart, or at least attempt to do so!+
sketchbookfiend (03:59:20): Loran: "Aaaah! Fine take it!" Loran will let go, but not first without activating the rockets on the ball first. To let it spin and yank that Aquafang who knows where unless it lets go as well.
VJockey (04:01:00): Yuu! Loran! The Sharkbots are blasted apart - with the exception of the one that was sent spiralling off into the stormclouds by the Gundam Hammer.... yeah Loran's probably not getting that one back.
VJockey (04:01:50): Raiden! The Shadow Knight in question loses one of its arms - however it refuses to go down without a fight and swings its halberd at you.... STOP THAT BLADE!
sketchbookfiend (04:01:51): It's okay Loran's still got a few more back on White Chalice...although yeah he's out of them for the fight. Loran sighs: "There goes that plan"
VJockey (04:02:12): (Richard! Bernie! go!)
tengusaur (04:02:26): Raynor keeps (horribly) playing the melody.
sketchbookfiend (04:02:43): Loran now has time to notice suddenly the cyborg that joined the giant robot fight and also the horrible music. "Did I miss something?"
HyprKnux 1 (04:03:07): Kouji: "Just another new face..."
tengusaur (04:03:39): Raynor: "The scales are shifting to our advantage! Keep it coming!"
VJockey (04:04:10): "Well if they are shifting to your favor... I may as well KICK THEM OVER!"
Lake of Archers (04:04:24): Bernie sets his sights on the gunnar. He wasn't sure how durable it was compared to the iron animal machines, but he was going to attempt to blow it to bits. The crosshair moved onto the Gunnar, "Firing missiles!" And the MA Gaza's back binders open, unleashing a flurry of missles+
Meraxa (04:04:33): Richard: Paladin Blade! *The Sword is summoned to Ideigi's hand, the massive mech readying itself...*
VJockey (04:04:35): The voice was a screech from the shadow gunner as it unleashed several explosive blasts at Raynor!
tengusaur (04:04:38): Raynor: "Beat the Gunner and our speakers are free... And here he comes!"
griefgathering (04:04:55): Raiden: *After a parry, he'll try to use the momentum of that attack against his opponent - firing up the artificial muscle fibers in both his arms to pull and swing the enemy around and into something!+
macprysm (04:05:04): #Raynor
griefgathering (04:05:29): Raiden: "I guess my intel wasn't kidding about your group..."
VJockey (04:05:55): (Approved Yuu)
Meraxa (04:05:59): Richard: *And thats his signal to go!* Burning...! *Red hot power burns with the blade, before he swings it in a wide arc* WAVE! *And releases a scorching sickle of heat that soars through the air. Its headed for the Gunner, but he won't mind if it hits anyone else along the way!+
VJockey (04:06:21): Raiden! You manage to swing the Shadow Knight into one of the Ironhearts as it was attempting to take a pot shot at someone- the angle of the swing sends the halberd right through its midsection as it fired right into the face of the knight! DOUBLE KILL!
macprysm (04:08:00): Yuu: FI...RA...JU!!! *And here comes the Fist of Radiant Justice, coming in from the Shadow Gunner's side! Aiming right for its face, crackling with Plasma-X! The rest of the X-Buster's is gonna try to get in between Raynor and his opponent, as well. Hopefully the plasma field can handle it?+
VJockey (04:08:35): Richard! The attack soon dismembers several Shadow Knights and blows apart an Ironheart - The gunner manages to evade your attack with a loud shriek - demanding someone kill you... to which the Fading Shadow is compelled to obey - exploding out of the wreckage underneath Ideigi to smash it upside the head with both hands! React!
Meraxa (04:09:43): Richard: Wha-?! *Richard turns, taken aback. He thought had beaten that thing! He turns, but as he tries to block, its a bit... weak. Couldn't he do his job right?!+
VJockey (04:09:52): Bernie! As the Gunner dodges Richard's attack - its lack of attention to you soon proves to be a bad idea as it is bombarded with missiles! With a shriek he dissapates - and all speakers are free!
tengusaur (04:10:35): Raynor: "Excellent!"
tengusaur (04:10:57): And at that moment, music starts playing from Paragon's speakers again!
tengusaur (04:11:03): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAPze1wWPk
tengusaur (04:11:18): Raynor stops playing Amazing Grace, fortunately.
tengusaur (04:11:31): Raynor: "I see it now... This is how it works..."
tengusaur (04:12:11): Raynor: "All the obstacles are only within you, and if you understand yourself and the world, you will be able to find it within yourself to get rid of them too..."
tengusaur (04:12:17): Raynor: "Shadow Knights!"
VJockey (04:12:21): Richard - just because an opponent was sent right into a structure not to be seen - doesn't mean that its beaten. Thankfully it seems that the power boost that Yuu had unintentionally given Tesla's creations was fading as the strike is stopped cold.
tengusaur (04:12:34): Raynor: "I promise I will find a way to free you from your torment!"
tengusaur (04:12:44): Raynor: "I know for certain it's possible now..."
tengusaur (04:13:14): Raynor: "Because, as the first Paragon in history, I freed myself from it!"
VJockey (04:13:27): "So you say Paragon"
VJockey (04:13:33): "Many have tried"
VJockey (04:13:38): "Many"
VJockey (04:13:46): "All of us have failed."
tengusaur (04:13:49): Raynor: "But how many have mastered all the Virtues?"
tengusaur (04:14:03): Raynor: "Paragon of spirituality! Change, Ranger form!"
tengusaur (04:14:14): Paragon turns into a different, blue and white version!
tengusaur (04:14:15): http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz111/TehCubey/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/ranger.jpg
tengusaur (04:14:24): And its single sword splits into two blades, which it now dual-wields!
tengusaur (04:14:28): And the song continues!
VJockey (04:14:32): "it does not matter... in the end... it is all the same!"
tengusaur (04:14:34): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye6YHQ8AZzU
VJockey (04:14:49): (Loran! Kouji! GO!)
tengusaur (04:15:28): Raynor: "Wait and see, Alex. Wait and see."
HyprKnux 1 (04:15:32): Kouji: "Tch! You Shadow creeps are nothing more than sore losers because someone figured it out and you didn't!"
HyprKnux 1 (04:15:55): Kouji: "And if Mr. Science here thinks his work can overpower my Grandpa's, he's dead wrong!"
HyprKnux 1 (04:16:09): (Enemy count plz?)
VJockey (04:16:55): Magnezoner (Professor Tesla) (https://1-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/m/image/1270/84/1270844256281.png)

VJockey (04:16:57): Shadow Champion (http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/champion.jpg.html)
Shadow Knights (http://s819.photobucket.com/user/TehCubey/media/Metal%20Knight%20Paragon/knight.jpg.html) x9
sketchbookfiend (04:17:13): Loran:"Well, since I don't have to avoid it anymore." *White Doll pulls out it's Beam Rifle and takes aim at the closest cluster of Shadow Knights before firing off a handful of shots.+
macprysm (04:17:33): Yuu: Even if they are powered by Plasma-X...these poor creatures are missing the thing that makes X-Buster strong...without it, they're just poor imitations.
Lake of Archers (04:19:14): Bernie: What?
HyprKnux 1 (04:19:21): Kouji: "First, let's clip these birds out of the sky!" *And Kaiser's fists raise up and aim at Crimson Wing and Silver Cross "TURBO SMASHER PUUUUUUNCH!" And fire out at them. Let them dodge, they're probably get hit on the way back!+
VJockey (04:21:25): Kouji! Indeed they dodge the attacks! Silver Cross however is running full tilt to slam its massive arm blades along both sides of the Kaiser - while the Crimson Wing seems to be charging up for an attack!
VJockey (04:21:28): React
Meraxa (04:21:42): #Kouji
VJockey (04:21:59): Loran! Your blasts cripple and injure many knights- but that just means they are now paying attention to you... RAIN OF HALBERDS INCOMING! REACT!
VJockey (04:22:08): (APPROVED! RICHARD!)
VJockey (04:22:18): (RAIDEN! YUU! RAYNOR!)
VJockey (04:22:23): (GO!)
Meraxa (04:23:25): Richard: Kouji! *Richard briefly tries to bounce off his aggressor... So that he might try tossing Ideigi's shield from its arm to block the oncoming Silver Cross*
Meraxa (04:23:28): +
sketchbookfiend (04:25:14): Loran:"AH!" *The White Doll leaps back and turns to start fleeing from the rain of Halberds, luckily he hasn't unclipped his Shield from the back yet and hopefully that can provide cover if he can't book it away quick enough+
tengusaur (04:25:14): * "I shall free you from your misery, I promise!" Raynor crosses his blades, covering both of them in bright green aura! And suddenly Paragon jumps into the enemy group, nimbler and faster than ever! The robot almost turns into a hurricane of spinning death, cutting and slashing at any enemies with wide, but precise strokes. Raynor is moving closer towards the Champion, but he cuts into any enemy - both Shadow Knight and mechanical beast alike - that's on his way!
tengusaur (04:25:23): Raynor: "Emerald Sword Dance!!"
tengusaur (04:25:29): And the music continues!
tengusaur (04:25:34): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye6YHQ8AZzU
tengusaur (04:25:35): +
tengusaur (04:25:38): (same song)
macprysm (04:25:51): Yuu's fist finally returns, and he turns his attention to one of the Ironhearts. "Get over here...ANCHOR CHAAAAIN!" He's going to try to latch his rocket chain into an Ironheart, prefrably while it's still folded up into a nice, circular hammerhead. And then he's gonna swing at the nearest enemy with it. +
Wyverncakes (04:26:10): # Loran
VJockey (04:26:34): Richard! You manage to fend off the Silver Cross' attack.... however...
HyprKnux 1 (04:26:42): Kouji: "Tch...! C'moooon...!" *He's going to ignore Silver Cross and focus on Crimson Wing and Mazinkaiser's eyes light up. He's betting on everything for the Rocket Punches to save him as he attacks Crimson Wing "KYOUSHOURYUKU BEAAAAAAM!" And fires off the energy blast+
VJockey (04:27:02): The Fading Shadow takes advantage of this! Leaping upon the Ideigi and savaging it wildly with clawed hands!
VJockey (04:27:19): Soon moving from mauling to just repeated hammerings and punches!
griefgathering (04:27:37): Raiden: *"Let's finish this." Being the SS-sized combatant that he is, Raiden Ninja Runs across the debris strewn about the battlefield to find a suitable platform to jump off of. What he's trying to do is get the jump on one of those Frostbirds!+
VJockey (04:27:38): (Approved Jeremy!)
Wyverncakes (04:27:53): Loran, there's no need to worry about defending yourself... BECAUSE!
Wyverncakes (04:28:47): * "Fear not! Your shield will not have to bear that attack alone, if at all!" and suddenly barrier hands are stretching out to intercept the halberds mid-flight... and if at all possible start hurling them BACK where they came from!+
sketchbookfiend (04:29:15): Loran: "Wha-?"
tengusaur (04:29:32): Raynor: "Right on time, Jeremy!"
VJockey (04:29:45): Kouji! The Crimson Wing blocks the attack with its mighty wings... however.... it does not expect the return of the Turbo Smasher Punches! Smashing its wings off and the Photon Beam sending it across the scrap heap - its immense attack is unleashed into the sky! Sending a rain of raw devastation.... down on its Creator.
VJockey (04:29:58): "GAH! WHAT HAS SCIENCE DOOOOONE!???!?!?!"
VJockey (04:30:55): Jeremy! Thanks to you Loran is safe - and several Knights are dispatched!
VJockey (04:32:05): Raiden! You leap off the aged barrel of an old battleship - and the frostbirds, in an attempt to dispatch you unleash massive chunks of ice... which probably just gave you MORE surfaces to leap from as you manage to latch onto one of them! It's trying to shake you off! React!
Wyverncakes (04:32:36): And Jeremy's going to give Raynor and company a salute.
sketchbookfiend (04:33:06): Loran: "Thanks. I probably should have thought that out better."
VJockey (04:33:13): Yuu! Your chain manages to snag onto one of the ironhearts - as planned you soon send the silver cross right off the mountain with the tremendous swing! The impact also devastating the machine you used as a makeshift flail!
Wyverncakes (04:33:33): Jeremy: "Perhaps, but now you most certainly will have the opportunity to think of that in the future."
macprysm (04:33:39): Yuu: HAMMER OF SCIENCE!
VJockey (04:34:39): Raynor! As you carve your way towards the Champion he retaliates with his own sword - catching you in a bladelock and keep you from attacking any further as he pushes hard! React!
griefgathering (04:36:05): "Damn!" *Raiden will now Blade Mode to slice off that bird's head. Hopefully he can leap off before it crashes -- if it works!+
VJockey (04:36:30): (Everyone can go - there's practically only the Shadow Champion, Magnazoner, a severely Damaged Crimson Wing, Fading shadow, at least one Ironheart and three Frostbirds left)
tengusaur (04:37:07): *Raynor crosses his blades, catching the Champion's sword between them, and pushes hard for a moment before jumping back and landing atop a nearby pile of debris. +
VJockey (04:37:11): Raiden! The bird is dispatched - carved into pieces - as it dies though it unleashes a blast of cold all around it! You'll find your landing a little chilly.
Meraxa (04:37:42): Richard: Gah! Stupid... Thing...! *Richard is having some slight issues in getting Fading Shadow off... each hit ruins the footing he would need to toss it off - so he's kinda stuck flailing his hands at it*
tengusaur (04:37:49): Raynor: "You are certainly more powerful in melee..."
HyprKnux 1 (04:38:36): Kouji: "Ha! Awesome! That'll show you to think so highly of your knock-off crap! Now, let's finish this off!" *With that, Kouji's going to pour out a lot more energy as he aims at the Frostbirds "FIRE BLASTER!" and unleashes another powerful torrent of energy!+
tengusaur (04:38:37): Raynor: "But the Ranger is versatile in both close and long range! Watch!"
tengusaur (04:39:54): * Raynor combines both of the blades, turning them into a bow! He pulls a green bowstring, creating an energy arrow that quickly grows to a huge size, becoming almost as large as Paragon itself! And then he releases it, making it fly with huge speed and home straight for the Shadow Champion!
VJockey (04:40:01): Kouji! Those Frostbirds - attempting to deal with Raiden are caught completely off guard by your attack! Molten slag soon slams into the wreckage below!
tengusaur (04:40:16): Raynor: "Remember... I always keep my promises! HEART-SEEKING ARROW!!" +
Lake of Archers (04:40:24): Gaza D charges towards one of the Forest Birds. Shifting a little, it transforms into MS mode. Its thrusters propel its further, swinging with two beam sabers, "Uwaaa!"+
Wyverncakes (04:40:52): * The Crimson Wing's going to have a very unfortunate beatdown coming its way as the Leeda Mk. III zooms towards it... right before using barriers to propel itself into the air and then deliver a stream of barrier punches on it!+
VJockey (04:40:57): (Bernie - Frostbirds are dead, would you like to change targets?)
macprysm (04:41:15): Yuu: It worked before, so here we go again! ANCHOR CHAAAAAAIN!!! *There's one more Ironheart left, which just means an extra hammerhead! He goes for another shot, aiming to knock the Fading Shadow off of Richard...and off of the mountain, if he can.+
griefgathering (04:42:15): *Raiden is gonna slide into a roll with all that ice going around. He gets straight back into the action though as he runs past all that dead Frostbird slag and slashes at one of the Ironheart's legs!+
VJockey (04:42:16): Richard! Unfortunately your flailing doesn't really do much other than aggravate the beast further - prompting it to grab at Ideigi's hands - from the looks of it, the machine was about to unleash some lethal eye blasts right into the face!
Meraxa (04:42:41): Richard: ...!
sketchbookfiend (04:43:01): Loran:"Better not make the same mistake them." *The White Doll turns towards the Faded Shadow and rushes forward towards the Ironheart to slam a beam saber into it's chest+
VJockey (04:43:39): But thankfully Yuu manages to save you by sending one of the Ironhearts into it - Loran's accompanying stab into both before they are sent flying off the mountain would surely ensure that they have been destroyed....
VJockey (04:43:41): maybe
Meraxa (04:44:25): Richard: T-Thanks... *Couldn't deal with that one by himself either... he says nothing else, but just... gah*
Lake of Archers (04:44:31): (Get Mr. Science!)
VJockey (04:44:34): Raiden! The remaining Ironheart soon literally loses its footing - however it soon transforms into a large and boulderlike MA mode and is now attempting to roll over you! React!
VJockey (04:45:35): Bernie! Your beam sabers are countered with Plasma swords emanating from the Magnazoner's hands! You'll also notice more delicate instruments in the Gaza going on a fritz due to the magnetic fields!
macprysm (04:45:55): Yuu: Your twisted experiments are over, Old Man! You don't have anything left to learn from this battle...
VJockey (04:45:58): "Surely you don't think such a machine can defeat a man of SCIENCE do you?!"
Lake of Archers (04:47:01): Bernie: Guh!
VJockey (04:47:02): Jeremy! The Crimson Wing is repeatedly punched to bits - metal shredded repeatedly before it lets out a single birdlike cry, like a bird of paradise finally freed from a cruel cage before it detonates.
griefgathering (04:47:21): *Not gonna try to parry that - Raiden runs...away from it? Or so it looks like, until he uses one of the nearby pieces of wreckage to jump up and onto that rolling boulder thing - plunging the High Frequency Blade into it! If this works, the Ironheart should cut itself apart just by moving!+
VJockey (04:47:25): Raynor...
VJockey (04:48:25): The Shadow Champion attempts to fend off the incoming arrow by attempting to cut it apart. No dice... he is struck by the massive attack - as he hangs in the air from the blast he looks right at the Paragon.
VJockey (04:48:41): ".. You will fail... just as I have Paragon..."
VJockey (04:48:53): "... I know this..."
VJockey (04:49:19): He dissapates in the blast. Though gone for now, he and his ilk will return soon enough....
tengusaur (04:49:31): Raynor: "No, Alex Globing. We will all be free."
VJockey (04:50:30): Raiden. SCIENCE has turned against Tesla today!
VJockey (04:50:45): PHYSICS soon makes the machine cut itself CLEAN in half!
VJockey (04:50:52): Now...
VJockey (04:50:56): all that is left is...
VJockey (04:51:22): "BAH! EVIL has given me more than enough funding to continue my work elsewhere"
VJockey (04:51:50): "But Yuu. I think there is great reason for you to worry about your next encounter with them."
macprysm (04:52:04): Yuu: W-wh-what? EVIL has you in their pocketbooks now, Old Man...?
sketchbookfiend (04:52:24): Loran:"...wait that's the name of a group?"
tengusaur (04:52:38): Raynor: "It's an acronym."
VJockey (04:52:39): "Oh yes. All the funding I NEED! They have no problems with my experiments! No burdens of MORALITY!"
sketchbookfiend (04:53:01): Loran:"I figured but...wow. just "evil"..."
VJockey (04:53:06): "In fact, I'm sure Oishi was quite happy to not have to deal with those burdens as well..."
VJockey (04:53:10): !!!
macprysm (04:53:16): Yuu: As long as you continue to spread chaos and build them weapons, I'm su-!!!
macprysm (04:53:34): The X-Buster's eyes. They're burning.
HyprKnux 1 (04:53:43): Kouji: "What the...?!"
macprysm (04:53:45): Yuu: How dare you...
Wyverncakes (04:53:55): Jeremy: "Yuu, what's transpiring?!?"
sketchbookfiend (04:54:10): Loran:"What?"
macprysm (04:54:15): Yuu: HOW DARE A VILLAN SUCH AS YOU EVEN MENTION THE NAME OF MY PURE AND TRUE OISHI!
VJockey (04:54:29): At this Tesla just laughs
tengusaur (04:54:41): Raynor: "He's trying to provoke you!"
VJockey (04:54:47): In fact even the Magnazoner is doubled over from the hysterics he's going into.
VJockey (04:54:58): "PURE?"
VJockey (04:55:04): "TRUE?"
VJockey (04:55:10): "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
VJockey (04:55:31): "KANAZUKI YUUSHAHIRO!"
VJockey (04:55:47): "You would do well to listen closely! Science needs no lies to hide behind!"
VJockey (04:55:54): "That woman has less morals than I do."
VJockey (04:55:57): "AND I HAVE NONE!"
VJockey (04:56:17): "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
sketchbookfiend (04:56:18): Loran: "... none...less than...negatives-"
HyprKnux 1 (04:56:29): Kouji: "...that seems a little far-fetched. Even for me."
tengusaur (04:56:33): Raynor: "..."
tengusaur (04:56:43): Raynor: "No... I don't think he's lying."
sketchbookfiend (04:56:55): Loran: "I don't think that's how math works- huh?"
griefgathering (04:56:57): Raiden watches this with interest, that eyepatch he had on just slides away for the time being as he frowns.
Wyverncakes (04:57:25): Jeremy: "You mean to say she is so vile she possesses anti-morals?"
VJockey (04:57:39): "EXACTLY!"
macprysm (04:58:31): Yuu: ...You're far more mad than I'd ever thought, old man...The least I can grant you is a merciful path from this world....*His teeth are clenched as he speaks, his voice wavering between the remnants of an explosion and an eerie calm.* I will save her. From any brainwashing that group has forced upon her. The power of Justice is matched only by the power of Love...
VJockey (04:58:54): "... brainwashing?"
VJockey (04:58:58): beat...
VJockey (04:59:07): "BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA"
VJockey (04:59:13): "BRAINWASHING!"
VJockey (04:59:43): "Believe what you will Kanazuki Yuushahiiro!"
Lake of Archers (04:59:55): Bernie blinks his eyes. he has no words.
VJockey (05:00:09): "You didn't even bother learning her last name did you?"
sketchbookfiend (05:00:11): Loran is similarly confused by this situation. What is even transpiring.
VJockey (05:00:15): "Oishi E.?"
VJockey (05:00:35): "Did you never even bother to find out what the E. in her name stood for?"
macprysm (05:01:04): Yuu: We...we were to be wed. She was to throw her surname away...it wasn't important!
sketchbookfiend (05:01:32): Loran: "That...isn't a very good excuse Yuu."
VJockey (05:01:40): "BAHAHAHAHAHA"
VJockey (05:01:49): "Well... I WILL TELL YOU ANYWAY"
VJockey (05:01:57): "Her name. Her FULL NAME"
VJockey (05:02:18): "Oishi EVILMAN"
VJockey (05:02:23): "YES!"
HyprKnux 1 (05:02:33): Kouji: "...wat"
sketchbookfiend (05:02:35): Loran: ".................................."
tengusaur (05:02:48): Raynor: "Yuu! Whether he's telling the truth or not, you can't let him provoke you! That's what he wants!"
macprysm (05:02:51): Yuu: S-SHOCK!
VJockey (05:02:58): "DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THAT A GOOD AND PURE WOMAN WOULD HAVE A NAME SUCH AS THAT?"
tengusaur (05:02:59): Raynor: "...Besides, that name is a bit ridiculous..."
griefgathering (05:03:01): Raiden: "..."
HyprKnux 1 (05:03:26): Kouji: "I'll say. I mean, that's as bad as Doctor Hell"
Meraxa (05:03:54): Richard: ...Names aside... shouldn't we maybe nab him?
VJockey (05:04:04): "That would be like saying Doctor Hell, may SCIENCE forever protect him is an Altruist bent on protecting the world from devastation!"
sketchbookfiend (05:04:12): Loran:"Yeah what Richard said."
VJockey (05:04:16): "...."
VJockey (05:04:20): "SCIENCE!!!!!"
HyprKnux 1 (05:04:29): Kouji: "That would be a good idea."
VJockey (05:05:07): At this point the Magnazoner lets loose a tremendous blast of Plasma X into the stormclouds above - unleashing a thunderstorm of massive proportions to cover his escape!
macprysm (05:05:47): And now, Yuu's simply laughing. "...as I thought. Simply the ramblings of a madman. But even if the heavens forgive your lies, Old Man....I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! FIST OF DIVINE LOVE!!!!!+
tengusaur (05:05:48): Raynor struggles against the storm and starts aiming another energy arrow! "Come back here!"
macprysm (05:06:07): With that, the X-Buster pours its remaining energy into one, final rocket punch!
VJockey (05:06:30): "IREGRETNOTHIIIIIIIIIIIING!"
VJockey (05:06:50): Professor Tesla is soon sent over the stormy horizon by Yuu's punch.
VJockey (05:07:01): No way of telling if he survived or not when the fist returns
VJockey (05:07:07): In any case...
VJockey (05:07:09): MISSION COMPLETE
macprysm (05:07:18): Yuu: Justice...has been served...
tengusaur (05:07:25): Raynor looks over, towards Raiden.
griefgathering (05:07:38): And with that, Raiden twirls, and sheathes his blade.
Lake of Archers (05:07:40): Bernie: Wow, with one punch.
macprysm (05:08:09): He's quiet after that....deep in thought, no doubt. Any explanations for what just transpired will have to wait until we've returned to the White Chalice.
sketchbookfiend (05:08:23): Loran claps slowly in surprise at the effectiveness of the punch.
HyprKnux 1 (05:08:27): Kouji: "That... was just weird."
tengusaur (05:08:42): Raynor: "Are you going to come with us?"
griefgathering (05:09:13): Raiden: "No. I was sent here by one of the settlements under threat by all this."
sketchbookfiend (05:09:36): Loran: "Just a sell-sword then huh?"
tengusaur (05:09:44): Raynor: "I'm sure they will be glad to hear it's all over, then."
griefgathering (05:10:02): Raiden: "Yeah. They sure will."
griefgathering (05:10:25): Raiden: "In any case, I've got a feeling we'll see each other again soon, White Chalice."
griefgathering (05:11:09): And just as suddenly as he appeared, the cyborg ninja vanishes. Like well... lightning.
tengusaur (05:11:55): Raynor: "Yeah... That sounds likely."
tengusaur (05:12:06): Raynor: "Very likely."
