tengusaur (01:19:07): White Chalice is currently somewhere between Earth's upper atmosphere and outright space (hard to say for certain), going up towards the new moon that appeared on the sky!
tengusaur (01:19:35): Ayame has a briefing for everyone. Not just a small group, everyone.
tengusaur (01:20:11): Ayame: "We're about the engage the Lunar Sanctum. I'm sure it will be crawling with enemies, as usual."
tengusaur (01:20:59): Ayame: "Our tactics will be typical for this kind of situation: most of our forces engage the surface enemies, a small group tries to get its way into the station, find the main reactor or equivalent and blow it up."
tengusaur (01:21:09): Ayame: "We did it a few times before. Any questions?"
Wyverncakes (01:21:27): Josh: "Anything specific we might see out there?"
sketchbookfiend (01:22:01): Loran would ask questions such as 'why is it a moon' but he figures that's kind of pointless so keeps his mouth shut.
tengusaur (01:22:11): Ayame: "The Forces of Nature are... weird. Last time we fought them, there were giant trees and angry apples."
Meraxa (01:22:32): Amuro: I remember that. Was... strange.
sketchbookfiend (01:22:35): Loran: "Yeah I remember that."
Drascin (01:22:47): Palutena: "I will keep an eye on things and act as mission control as soon as we're close enough to get a decent reading. All I can tell you right now is that the commander of that station is Arlon the Serene, right hand man of Viridi"
tengusaur (01:23:01): Ayame: "Don't underestimate them though. Just because they look silly doesn't mean they're not a threat."
Wyverncakes (01:23:17): Josh: "Of course they're not."
Wyverncakes (01:23:23): Yeah, he hasn't forgotten the Reset Bombs.
Meraxa (01:23:35): Amuro: Why precisely do they call him Serene? Its not the usual nickname for an enemy commander
sketchbookfiend (01:23:43): Loran: "Moon"
Drascin (01:23:52): Pit: "Don't worry, guys! We go in, kick their butts, and come out! Should be easy as pie! ...man, now I'm hungry"
Meraxa (01:24:47): Amuro: ...That is a gross misappropriation of Greek Myth and a Titan's name. No offense Palutena.
tengusaur (01:25:06): Ayame: "Is that all? You can discuss mythology after this is over."
tengusaur (01:25:14): Ayame: "Get ready to launch!"
Wyverncakes (01:25:40): And Josh makes his way to the Ganador!
Drascin (01:25:43): Palutena: "From where I'm standing we came first, mister Ray, so don't draw too many comparisons or I might sue" Palutena smirks
Wyverncakes (01:26:01): The Geant's too big and conspicuous, and the Aile on its own probably isn't a good fit for this.
Meraxa (01:27:17): Amuro: That gets into far too many metaphysics questions... *Amuro has the Zeta ready in Waverider form. Anyone needing a lift can hop on!*
sketchbookfiend (01:27:52): Loran proceeds to check the systems in the White Doll. Good thing he finally got all the crud out of the thrusters on the legs, now he can properly fly around.
Drascin (01:27:54): Pit, on his end, is already aboard cherubot, eyeing the add-on glass to make it a bit space-capable nervously. "You guys sure this won't crack, right? I like to breathe!"
Drascin (01:28:04): he still readies to launch, though
Meraxa (01:28:35): Amuro: Won't do if it doesn't take a hit. So... Don't get hit.
tengusaur (01:28:40): It's time to deploy among a group of other White Chalice mecha, which move in towards the Sanctum!
tengusaur (01:28:51): From up close, the thing looks slightly less like a moon...
tengusaur (01:28:53): http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/3/38/Lunarsanctum.jpg
sketchbookfiend (01:28:58): Loran: "If it does take a hit, maybe Palutena can make you a magic bubble or something..."
tengusaur (01:29:20): It's strangely technological for a thing belonging to Nature's Forces...
Wyverncakes (01:29:47): Josh: "... So is that thing an eye or does it just look like it?"
Drascin (01:29:53): Pit: "That's a weird looking moon..."
Drascin (01:30:10): Palutena: "...I don't like the look of that. everyone stay on edge"
sketchbookfiend (01:30:16): Loran: "It does look like it...although if I were to guess that'd be the center, why would they have that exposed?"
tengusaur (01:30:31): You can see small dots coming from its direction towards White Chalice's first line! They quickly turn out to be enemy combatants, most of them large plant-like being of various shape, but with a single yellow eye each.
tengusaur (01:30:52): Speaking of eyes, something starts to glow in the middle of the Sanctum's "eye"!
Meraxa (01:31:09): Amuro: ...Are you familiar with mobile armours at all?
Drascin (01:31:15): Pit: "Hm? What's that? Looks kind of cool..."
sketchbookfiend (01:31:19): Loran: "Um...Vaguely?"
Meraxa (01:31:22): Amuro: Because holes like that tend to be cannons!
tengusaur (01:31:29): And it fires a powerful, wide laser into your direction! (all 4 react)
Drascin (01:31:37): Pit: "...AND DANGEROUS! Wah!"
Meraxa (01:31:57): Amuro: *Freaking CALLED IT! Amuro attempts to dodge, executing a barrel roll in the process+
Wyverncakes (01:32:07): Josh: "Shit!"
sketchbookfiend (01:32:24): Loran: "oh...OH!" The White Doll quickly flies to the side out of the path of the large doom laser.+
Wyverncakes (01:32:24): * Sympathia System-enabled, double image-tastic evasion gogogogo!+
Drascin (01:32:43): *Pit dives to the side to avoid the HUEG laser+
Drascin (01:32:54): Pit: "I take that back! It's not cool at all!"
tengusaur (01:33:33): Fortunately, thanks to your evasive maneuvers the laser flies past without hitting anything on its way...
tengusaur (01:34:18): And you're getting close to the sanctum itself! Thanks to the rest of people around here none of the enemies seem to have noticed you... So far.
tengusaur (01:34:25): Don't let this opportunity go to waste!
Meraxa (01:35:01): Amuro: Alright, lets boost and try to get through!
Drascin (01:35:59): Palutena: "Forward, everyone! I'll find you a way in! Try to dodge in the meantime!"
Wyverncakes (01:36:07): Josh: "Can do!"
sketchbookfiend (01:36:08): Loran: "Right!"
Wyverncakes (01:36:35): The Ganador's thrusters flare up and it rockets towards the massive death station!
Drascin (01:36:45): Pit: "No problem! Follow me, everyone!" And Pit recklessly charges forward, avoiding the barrages
tengusaur (01:37:11): Palutena quickly discovers an entrance to the inside, a rectangular hole inside one of the flat halves of the Sanctum.
Drascin (01:38:28): Palutena: "I found an entrance! Follow that trench, there's a corridor towards the end!"
Pit: "Can do!"
Meraxa (01:38:59): Amuro: Beginning our attack run...
Wyverncakes (01:39:39): Josh: "Good... hopefully there's something worthwhile for us when we get there."
Drascin (01:39:48): Pit rushes through the trench and towards the rectangular opening as fast as Cherubot can take him
sketchbookfiend (01:40:01): Loran: "Like the entrance, Josh?"
tengusaur (01:40:09): The inside of the corridor is bronze-colored and metal, with steel plates covered in classical-looking patterns everywhere...
tengusaur (01:40:29): But as you get close to it, you can see a telepathic projection floating besides you!
tengusaur (01:40:31): http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/5/51/Arlon_artwork.png
Meraxa (01:41:10): Amuro: Well thats... rather dapper.
Wyverncakes (01:41:12): Josh: "I'll take anything we can use."
Drascin (01:41:16): Palutena: "You must be Commander Arlon"
tengusaur (01:41:22): Arlon: "Indeed. Ah, I expected you. Lady Palutena, her courageous soldier Pit, and friends from White Chalice."
sketchbookfiend (01:41:29): Loran:"...huh"
tengusaur (01:41:34): Arlon: "Your deeds are quite impressive, I must say."
Meraxa (01:41:54): Amuro: I think you may be the first person to actually acknowledge our resume.
sketchbookfiend (01:42:11): Loran: "He's a lot nicer than Viridi so far."
Wyverncakes (01:42:26): Josh: "If you know what we're capable of, then you'll turn this thing around right this instant."
tengusaur (01:42:38): Arlon: "Please, let us not speak badly of those not present, especially not Mistress Viridi."
sketchbookfiend (01:43:00): Loran: "I'm Sorry...?"
sketchbookfiend (01:43:11): Loran: "Wait why am i apologizing"
tengusaur (01:43:31): Arlon: "Why are you bringing chaos to this place?"
Drascin (01:44:03): Pit: "Because giant battle station from nowhere! I think that's reason enough to worry!"
tengusaur (01:45:00): Arlon: "We are just preparing for the future here. There is no reason to bring arms when it would be much better to discuss this over tea."
sketchbookfiend (01:45:28): Loran: "Didn't you just try to shoot us with a laser?"
Drascin (01:45:43): Palutena: "Well... if you order your forces to stand down and tell us what you're preparing for, I would love to consider it"
Wyverncakes (01:45:45): Josh: "That's how you're describing an attack on the Earth?"
Meraxa (01:45:47): Amuro: Not to mention, this is a gross violation of sovereign airspace...
sketchbookfiend (01:46:45): Loran: "Yeah, I think we have enough moons too."
tengusaur (01:46:52): Arlon: "I am afraid I have my orders, and I cannot tell you."
Wyverncakes (01:47:29): Josh: "And we have ours."
Wyverncakes (01:47:46): "So you have only yourself to blame for what's coming next."
tengusaur (01:47:55): Arlon: "I cannot go against Mistress Viridi's will, you see. What kind of a servant would I be otherwise?"
tengusaur (01:48:22): Arlon: "Very well then. Mistress Viridi spoke very well of your abilities, and I'm eager to see them in action."
Drascin (01:48:39): Pit: "That's... weirdly nice of her"
sketchbookfiend (01:48:59): Loran: "She probably just whined about us..." muttering to himself.
tengusaur (01:49:12): Arlon: "Seems it's time for me to gird my loins in preparation for you."
tengusaur (01:49:33): Arlon: "By the way, it seems my soldiers finally caught up to you."
Drascin (01:49:35): Pit: "Too much information! Nobody wants to know about your loins!"
tengusaur (01:49:57): Indeed, a few energy shots are already flying into your direction from behind!
Meraxa (01:50:08): Amuro: Enemy fighters on our tail.
tengusaur (01:50:11): A group of Force of Nature creatures is pursuing you!
tengusaur (01:50:20): Blader
http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/5/5f/Enemy_blader.png

Lurchthorn
http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/b/bf/Lurchthornpic.png

Captain Flare
http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/c/c7/Flare_final.png
tengusaur (01:50:32): Enemy list: Blader x6, Lurchthorn x2, Captain Flare
tengusaur (01:50:57): (Iniatitive order: Pit, Loran, Amuro, Josh)
tengusaur (01:51:02): (Pit, Loran)
Drascin (01:51:12): Palutena: Well, that's not as many as I was fearing. And what's with that guy on the front...?
Drascin (01:51:35): Pit: Well, whatever it is, he's in for a pounding! Cherubot, do your thing!
tengusaur (01:51:43): Captain Flare just grins like a moron.
sketchbookfiend (01:52:28): Loran: "I'm kind of appreciative of the lack in number." *Loran doesn't waste any time in turning towards the closest Lurchthorn and firing away with his Beam Rifle.+
Drascin (01:52:48): *And Pit's going to turn around even as the momentum makes him continue forward, and toss a blitz of light shots at the enemy group+
tengusaur (01:53:52): Pit shoots down two of the Bladers and damages the Lurchthorn, causing a few of its segments to fall off! Loran's beam shot hits the latter straight on the head, causing it (the head that is) to explode!
tengusaur (01:54:33): But suddenly, green shades appear behind Cherubot and Turn A! They quickly become material and slash at both unit with long, sharp claws! (react you both)
tengusaur (01:54:42): Flage
http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/1/1f/Flagepic.png
Drascin (01:54:55): Palutena: Pit, watch out!
Pit: Whoa!
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:00): #Loran
tengusaur (01:55:18): Arlon: "Ah, I see they have arrived. Say hello to the Flages, my finest warriors."
tengusaur (01:55:19): (approved)
tengusaur (01:55:24): (Amuro, Josh)
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:43): ???: "Stay your hand, villainous protoplasm!"
sketchbookfiend (01:55:53): Loran: "Wha-" *An alert goes off and Loran quickly turns to dodge sideways away from the green jerk+
Drascin (01:56:17): *And while Pit does try to turn and smack them away, Cherubot is not as quick as its pilot, so even as he motions a wide sweep he has no choice but to eat some of the slashes+
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:35): *Suddenly, a new contender leaps into action! A smallish white robot with an equally white all-encompassing cape runs in front of the Flage. Its hand grasps at a long blade and thrusts it straight into the green creature's eye!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:57): ???: "There is one art responsible for understanding, manipulation and mastery over nature."
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:00): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KYAQ44MV94
cubey@aol.pl (01:57:05): Alessandra: "That art... is SCIENCE!"
Wyverncakes (01:57:22): * Time to see just how dangerous Captain Flare really is. The Ganador keeps a healthy distance from it before letting loose two blade bits. "Alright. How're you going to deal with these?" And a second later they blast off at the goon.+
sketchbookfiend (01:57:44): Loran: "Can you reword that, I've had enough Science since the last mission...and thanks I guess."
Meraxa (01:58:06): Amuro: *The White Zeta shifts forms, suddenly decelrating so that the gap between it and the Bladers rapidly closes whilst it draws and swings a beam saber!+
tengusaur (01:58:14): Cherubot's back receives some slashes, but White Doll escapes without any harm, especially since the sudden help just cuts right into the Flage's eye, making it explode into green goo!
tengusaur (01:58:18): (Alessandra can move too)
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:34): Alessandra: "What I mean dear sir is, one moon is enough for our planet. Nature ill-needs to create another one!"
sketchbookfiend (01:58:47): Loran: "That I couldn't agree more on."
tengusaur (01:59:51): Arlon: "Sudden heroic appearance, I see. The Lunar Sanctum has a more important function than just being a second moon, as I'm sure you suspect."
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:19): *Alessandra: "Then, prepare yourselves, creatures of ill will! This Custos shall be your demise!" Her machine leaps forward, still wielding a heavy rapier in its hand. It slices, it dices, and finally - it stabs at a Lunchthorn's head, the previous attacks aiming only to confuse and distract its defense.+
sketchbookfiend (02:00:33): Loran: "Firing a giant laser at Earth?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:00:55): Alessandra: "Oh yes, we were supposed to discuss this, were we not? I believe tea was involved, I would welcome that very much!"
tengusaur (02:00:56): Arlon: "Nothing so cliche."
Drascin (02:01:02): Palutena: "You know, if you told us and stood down, and helped us with the Underworld army, we really could be avoiding all this"
tengusaur (02:01:35): Captain Flare is partially cut by one of the blades, but still standing despite his small size! He avoids the other one by swooshing his cape and disappearing! But he only teleports a short distance, behind Ganador, and fires two large meteors from the inside of his cape! (react)
tengusaur (02:02:21): Amuro slashes through two of the Bladers, but from the remaining two one tries to cut the Zeta apart with sharp leaf-like limbs, the other one firing several energy balls in support! (react)
Wyverncakes (02:02:52): * "A teleporter? Well that's something!" Josh is already turning around and falling back, raising Ganador's shield for protection as its Falchion Saber ignites to chop up one of the meteors.+
tengusaur (02:03:24): Arlon: "Like I said before, I'm afraid this decision is not mine to make. You would have to ask Mistress Viridi for cooperation, not me."
Meraxa (02:03:33): Amuro: *Will try to raise his shield to that, even as he looks for possible side exits and corridors+
tengusaur (02:04:32): Alessandra slices and dices at the Lurchthorn, cutting off its segments, but it takes a good blow on its head to really destroy it - taht must be the weak point! But before it's gone, it fires several bright lasers from the "eyes" at the sides of its closest segments at her! (react)
tengusaur (02:05:01): There are no side corridors, just a way straight ahead! Amuro manages to block with his shield though, suffering only slight damage in the process.
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:10): Alessandra: "Ah, brightest lasers! My only weakness!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:05:37): *Custos wraps itself up in its cape like a certain axe-wielding super robot and tries to spin out of the way like a top.+
tengusaur (02:05:40): Josh blocks one of the meteors and cuts through the other one, but the first one does pretty noticable damage to his shield!
tengusaur (02:05:49): (Pit, Loran)
tengusaur (02:06:00): Enemy list: Blader x2, Captain Flare
tengusaur (02:06:16): Arlon: "Oh, I almost forgot."
tengusaur (02:06:24): Arlon: "Forgot to close the door, that is."
Drascin (02:06:25): Pit: "Forgot what?"
tengusaur (02:06:43): You can see a blast door quickly closing ahead of you
Drascin (02:06:43): Pit: "Oh. Nuts"
tengusaur (02:06:44): !
tengusaur (02:06:44): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFCl27sFATc
sketchbookfiend (02:06:52): Loran: "Are you kidding me."
Drascin (02:07:19): Palutena: "Everyone rush forward! The doors can't close instantly!"
tengusaur (02:07:31): The Custos suffers several smaller burns but is mostly fine! The cape is on fire in a few places though.
Drascin (02:07:42): Pit: "On it! ORYAAAAAAAA!"
Meraxa (02:07:55): Amuro: Gotta get through! *And its back to waverider form, meaning a more narrow frame AND a greater speed boost!*
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:03): Alessandra: "Ahh! Good hosts do not put their guests in such tribulations!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:15): The white (and on fire) Custos runs forward, its limbs flailing wildly!
Wyverncakes (02:08:32): Josh zoomes towards the blast door, having a few Ultimate Lancer (and NOT Blade Bits) go on ahead to maybe snag the door and keep it from closing entirely.
Drascin (02:09:00): *And Pit is going to trap the nearest enemy (that happens to be Captain Flare) in his left arm and rush forward through the corridor, running the fireball-faced enemy against the wall for the entire way!+
sketchbookfiend (02:09:50): Loran: "Let's go, White Doll!" *The Gundam's thrusters kick into overdrive and it rushes forward towards the door. He takes a few low powered potshots towards the remaining Bladers as he passes.+
tengusaur (02:10:04): After getting grinded too hard against the wall, Captain Flare explodes into a giant meteor himself! Better watch out, Pit! (react)
Drascin (02:10:22): Pit: "Just as planned!"
tengusaur (02:10:42): Loran shoots down one of the Bladers as he passes by, but the final one rushes towards him, spinning out of the way of the shots and trying to cut him apart! (react)
Drascin (02:10:55): *And Pit is going to use the meteor as a push to help the (honestly comparatively slow) Cherubot get through in time!+
sketchbookfiend (02:11:50): *The White Doll swerves in a bit of a Barrel roll to dodge out of the way of the Blader's attack.+
tengusaur (02:12:38): Pit's improvised rocket engine helps him keep up with everyone else, and they make it through the blast door righrt on the nick of time!
Drascin (02:12:43): Palutena: "That was actually rather clever"
Pit: "Thanks! I saw it on TV last week!"
tengusaur (02:12:50): Loran gets out of the way of the Blader, which smashes into the door itself!
tengusaur (02:13:08): You have a few more blast doors closing up front ahead of all of you, already!
tengusaur (02:13:24): But you're all going at full pace, and I doubt anyone is going to slow down|!
tengusaur (02:13:57): You get quickly through the series of doors, and finally you burst into the inside of the Sanctum!
tengusaur (02:14:18): And it's... For one, there's a lot of free space here. Hard to even see the ceiling.
cubey@aol.pl (02:14:28): Alessandra: "The tea offered should better be of extraordinary quality, considering what our party has to go through!"
sketchbookfiend (02:14:46): Loran: "Woah...it's definitely got the space to match up the buildings on the real Moon."
tengusaur (02:15:08): It looks almost like a city of orange and bronze buildings, with domes, classical-looking etchings, and tasteful, ancient but technological architecture.
Wyverncakes (02:15:09): Josh: "One big empty shell, isn't it?"
tengusaur (02:15:26): It looks completely different from what one might expect from the inside of a space station.
Drascin (02:15:31): Pit: "...well, this is surprisingly nice"
Palutena: "Kind of ritzy. I could get used to living in a place like this"
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:42): Alessandra: "Ah, I see even beings of nature can appreciate the beauty of modern architecture!"
sketchbookfiend (02:15:43): Loran: "Man, this is almost getting me nostalgic...although it's more golden than home."
Meraxa (02:15:45): Amuro: I think we've passed the point of tea. This looks like it wasn't always a fortress though...
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:02): Custos nods its head in approval, mimicking its pilot's movements.
Wyverncakes (02:16:39): Josh: "The question now though is where do we go from here?"
tengusaur (02:17:18): That's a good question, Josh!
tengusaur (02:17:37): The whole place's layout is highly confusing.
tengusaur (02:17:56): And to make it worse, there are green shapes moving around, some of them close, some of them far away.
tengusaur (02:18:05): One of them is moving towards you!
tengusaur (02:18:19): It appears to be one of the Forces of Nature creatures...
tengusaur (02:18:32): But as it gets closer, it's apparent that it's semi-transparent.
Drascin (02:18:50): Pit: This is weird. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Drascin (02:19:03): (He's going to punch it just in case, though)
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:09): Alessandra: "Another approaches! Could it be.. maybe it is friendly? Or under-eating, at any rate."
tengusaur (02:19:18): Cherubot's arm just goes straight through.
sketchbookfiend (02:19:31): Loran: "How would under eating make it translucent?"
Drascin (02:19:34): Palutena: "Arlon does have a penchant for visual illusions, doesn't he"
Wyverncakes (02:19:56): Josh: "This is news to us!"
Wyverncakes (02:19:59): Wait...
tengusaur (02:20:17): Arlon: "Indeed. I wonder, how will you manage to find your way out of this labirynth of illusion?"
Wyverncakes (02:20:21): ... Just to test the waters, Josh is going to fire a random blast of energy from the Ganador's cannons out into the empty area in front of him
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:23): "Biology of such organisms is alien to me. Perhaps if someone was to perform an autopsy..." Custos observes the illusion thoughtfully.
Wyverncakes (02:20:31): See if there are any distortions.
Drascin (02:20:41): Pit zooms around for a bit... and ends up exactly in the same place he started
Drascin (02:20:56): Pit: Argh! This is so annoying! Lady Palutena, help me out here!"
Drascin (02:21:16): Palutena: "No worries. Deploying the Palutena Super Sensor!"
tengusaur (02:21:22): Josh hits the side of a building that you swear wasn't there around a few seconds ago. It seems almost undamaged, too.
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:10): Alessandra: "Advanced technology in action? I did not know dearest Lady Palutena had such a device!"
Drascin (02:22:17): Pit: "Wow! You have a super sensor? I didn't know that!"
Palutena: "Hehe. I don't. You know I like to make stuff up"
Wyverncakes (02:22:42): Josh: "It's like I thought then."
Drascin (02:22:53): Pit: "Come on, don't mess with me at a time like this! We're totally lost here!"
sketchbookfiend (02:23:12): Loran: "Maybe we should try to just use the actual sensors we do have then."
Drascin (02:23:19): Palutena: "Or you could use the big green arrows to guide your way"
Meraxa (02:23:30): Amuro: ...Big green arrows?
sketchbookfiend (02:23:55): Loran: "The what now?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:17): Alessandra: "Another thing spoken in jest?"
tengusaur (02:24:37): Green arrows pointing in some direction appear in mid-air! Created by Palutena, presumably.
sketchbookfiend (02:24:52): Loran: "Well that's useful."
Wyverncakes (02:25:15): Josh: "Anything else to watch out for while we're at it?"
Drascin (02:26:35): Palutena: "Well, there are some some Forces of Nature between you adn the target. But you don't have to worry about the automated defenses now"
Drascin (02:26:45): Palutena sounds smug as nuts
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:27): Alessandra: "Ah, how convenient! Into the center we go." Smug is her element so she is naturally immune to it.
tengusaur (02:27:52): Following the arrows leads you towards a bigger, dome-shaped building visible from afar!
tengusaur (02:27:57): But before you can reach it...
tengusaur (02:28:12): When you move behind a corner, you see the forces Palutena mentioned!
tengusaur (02:28:26): Flying Bladers, but also large plant-like creatures on the ground!
tengusaur (02:28:34): Lethinium

Toxiecap

tengusaur (02:29:00): One of the flowers turns its eye towards you, and starts charging a laser!
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:22): Alessandra: "How adorable, where might my butterfly-catching net be?"
sketchbookfiend (02:30:05): Loran: "They're more dangerous than just butterflies you know!"
tengusaur (02:30:07): But suddenly, something smashes through a nearby building's tall wall, high above!
tengusaur (02:30:15): ???: "Yeargh!"
Wyverncakes (02:30:19): Josh's already on guard!
tengusaur (02:30:22): Eagail

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120322091953/gundam/images/c/c1/Taf-m9.jpg
sketchbookfiend (02:30:48): Loran:"What the heck?"
Meraxa (02:30:56): Amuro: ...That looks like a mobile suit...
tengusaur (02:31:23): The new, strange-looking Mobile Suit lands atop the Lethinium, smashing it with its weapon, resembling a large, spiked (but high-tech) club!
tengusaur (02:31:46): ???: "I finally found you, Gundam!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:59): Alessandra: "Is not today full of surprises! Who might you be, energetic stranger?"
sketchbookfiend (02:32:16): Loran: "Someone was looking for you, Amuro?"
tengusaur (02:32:39): ???: "Corin Nander! I am here to... What the?"
Wyverncakes (02:32:40): Josh "How the heck did you get in here in the first place!?!"
Drascin (02:32:43): Palutena: "I have a feeling that one's for you, Loran"
Wyverncakes (02:32:47): Because if he fought through Viridi's security...
tengusaur (02:32:52): Corin: "Not one, but two white Gundams? Woooo!"
Wyverncakes (02:32:55): Well shit, this guy was not one to underestimate.
Meraxa (02:32:58): Amuro: ...What.
sketchbookfiend (02:33:03): Loran: "What?"
tengusaur (02:33:16): Corin: "I didn't know you can split! Or maybe they made more?"
Drascin (02:33:25): Palutena: "...I may have hacked the Sanctum's core and turned off the defenses. It seemed a good idea at the time!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:35): Alessandra: "One does not simply split the Gundam!"
sketchbookfiend (02:33:50): Loran: "...The White Doll is a Gundam?"
Meraxa (02:34:03): Amuro: You've not seen core fighter designs then, little Miss...
Drascin (02:34:06): Pit: "Made more? There are like a bazillion Gundams, dude."
tengusaur (02:34:11): Corin: "Dianna Counter bigwigs told me to investigate this place, but this is more important. I'm gonna smash both Gundams to bits! He he!"
Meraxa (02:34:22): Amuro: ...What did he say?
sketchbookfiend (02:34:23): Loran: "WHAT!?"
tengusaur (02:34:25): Corin: "Bruno! Jacop! C'mere and provide backup!"
tengusaur (02:34:39): ???1 and ???2: "Yes boss!"
tengusaur (02:34:54): Two more Mobile Suits jump out of the hole the first one made!
tengusaur (02:35:02): Gozzo
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100129222312/gundam/images/7/73/Nrs-p701.jpg
tengusaur (02:35:13): Corin: "You can take on the rest! Leave the Gundams to me!"
sketchbookfiend (02:35:16): Loran: "I guess I should have figured the Moonrace wouldn't ignore this, but sending these types of people?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:17): Alessandra: "I believe a dangerous individual is on the loose, sporting an anti-Gundam sentiment!"
Meraxa (02:35:46): Amuro: They couldn't be wanting to seize the moon itself, could they?
sketchbookfiend (02:35:59): Loran: "I...doubt it."
Drascin (02:36:02): Pit: "Wow. What's that?"
Palutena: "...I'm never laughing at the Underworld forces for their designs again"
tengusaur (02:36:11): Bruno: "Actually this was a recon mission. But..."
tengusaur (02:36:30): Jacop: "Whatever the boss says, goes! You're gonna get it!"
sketchbookfiend (02:36:43): Loran: "You have to be kidding me."
tengusaur (02:36:57): Corin: "Laugh all you want! I'll be the one laughing in the end! He he!"
Drascin (02:37:19): Palutena: "Well, the devotion's admirable. Please try to not knock them too hard, Pit"
Pit: "Aye aye!"
Wyverncakes (02:37:47): Josh: "Loran, have you seen this guy before?"
Wyverncakes (02:37:55): "Anything you have on him could make the difference."
tengusaur (02:38:11): Arlon: "Well, that's... Highly unusual. Pardon my silence, but between half of my defense systems just ceasing to function, and these individuals disappearing, I might have been at a loss of words for a second."
sketchbookfiend (02:38:13): Loran: "...Uh, I'd heard the name Corin Nander before, but I thought he was dead."
tengusaur (02:38:44): Corin: "Dead? Ha ha, I'm not that easy to kill! And who's this old prick?"
tengusaur (02:38:51): Enemy list, red: Blader x12, Lethinium x4, Toxiecap x4

Enemy list, yellow: Corin (Eagail), Bruno (Gozzo), Jacop (yellow)
tengusaur (02:39:04): (Amuro, Josh, Alessandra)
sketchbookfiend (02:39:19): Loran: "That's Arlon, you're kind of in the middle of a fight with Gods."
tengusaur (02:39:50): Corin: "Not interested! Beating you up is more important, Gundam! Die!"
Wyverncakes (02:40:00): Josh: "I hate to do this... but Amuro, Loran. Just... try to keep those guys occupied."
Meraxa (02:40:34): Amuro: Another idiot who won't listen... But fine, we'll deal with them *And its back to Gundam mode, the White Zeta firing an opening volley of grenades as it circles around&
tengusaur (02:40:48): (who's your target Amuro?)
sketchbookfiend (02:40:48): Loran: "I don't think we have any other choice. Anyways you guys know the drill, if the Moonrace go after you, just try to incapacitate them without killing them."
Wyverncakes (02:40:52): "The longer we stay here, the more reinforcements Arlon can call in."
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:57): *Custos sheathes its sword. "Well then, let us participate in a contest of might!" Alessandra jumps up, her machine's cloak spinning - showing that its hands are clawed. They slash at one of the Bladers, not too forcefully, just enough to grab the Force of Nature in the claws!&
Wyverncakes (02:41:35): * And speaking of his forces, the Ganador's entire frame ignites with energy before it just rockets headfirst into a group of Blades with immense speed, shield still held at the ready for protection!+
Meraxa (02:41:48): (Corin, sorry)
tengusaur (02:42:00): Alessandra grabs the plant-like creature! Its limbs immobile, it tries to counter by firing a point-blank energy ball at her! (react/continue)
Drascin (02:42:01): Palutena: "Unthinking aggression and petty revenge. Are you sure you're not related to any god?" Palutena mentions amusedly, her image sort of floating around
Pit: Can we leave the philosophy for another time? Getting shot here!
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:01): *Alessandra disagrees with this course of action, and quickly turns the plant in Custos's limbs so the eye faces, and fires at, one of the Gozzos instead.+
tengusaur (02:43:07): Ganador just smashes through a group of Bladers, igniting three of them! But there's a surprise waiting for Josh, as two more Flages appear and slash into his back like the cheap assholes they are! (react)
Drascin (02:43:45): #Josh
tengusaur (02:43:50): (approved)
Wyverncakes (02:44:15): * "I don't even need to turn around to deal with you!" Two more Ultimate Lancers deploy, the blades moving to parry the Flages.+
tengusaur (02:45:01): Eagail jumps out of the way of the grenades, starting ti resemble a T-rex in its pose - especially since it turns out to have a long and flexible spine and neck. Only one of the grenades damages its armor slightly, and it swings its club like a bat, sending another grenade flying back to Amuro! (react/continue)
tengusaur (02:45:16): Corin: "He he! Minchi Drill is good for everything!"
tengusaur (02:46:03): Alessandra's diversion works! The projectile hits the Gozzo, which tries to defend itself with its shield but is slow and sluggish and still gets hit.
Drascin (02:46:04): *This time Pit has the advantages of distance and not being stabbed in the face, so he can see the Flages and react in time. "Well, let's put these spells thingy to the test!" he says, hitting a button - and a big chest beam sprouts from the crystal in Cherubot's chest, burning and sweeping the Flages away!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:09): Alessandra: "Ha ha! I have acquired an improvised energy weapon!"
tengusaur (02:46:49): Jacop: "Hey, what gives!" The Gozzo fires its large mounted canon back at the Custos! (react again)
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:14): *Custos throws the improvised energy weapon forward, to meet the shot head-on.
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:16): +
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:31): Alessandra: "Alas, what is easily acquired must be gone just as swiftly."
Meraxa (02:47:49): Amuro: *And Amuro will shoot right at the grenade, deciding that hey, he can use the momentary smokescreen - especially for shooting right through it! He's not gonna forget where his enemy is in one instant!+
tengusaur (02:47:54): Josh manages to parry the strike, though one claw still leaves a gash in Ganador's armor. Then Pit takes the opportunity to take a potshot and burn both of the Flages! They're really not that tough, just sneaky glass cannons.
tengusaur (02:47:59): (Pit, Loran)
tengusaur (02:48:26): Amuro shoots the grenade, creating a cloud of thick smoke!
tengusaur (02:48:46): Corin: "Damnit! Where are you hiding, Gundam? Are you afraid of me?"
tengusaur (02:49:11): Alessandra uses the Blader as an improvised, and one-use, anti-beam shield.
tengusaur (02:49:49): Enemy list, red: Blader x8, Lethinium x4, Toxiecap x4

Enemy list, yellow: Corin (Eagail), Bruno (Gozzo), Jacop (Gozzo) [damaged]
sketchbookfiend (02:49:59): Loran: "Right here!" *Using the smoke screen to it's advantage, Loran launches forward towards the Eagail with it's beam saber, aiming to slash the neck.+
Drascin (02:50:27): Pit: "Wooo! It works!"
Palutena: "Of course it does. Now let's do something about those Toxiecaps before the ill the entire place with acid"
Pit: "Roger that!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:50): Alessandra: "Was it acid I hear? That cannot be good!"
tengusaur (02:51:32): Indeed, the Toxiecaps start spewing small green globes around, which fall on every near surface and turn into acidic pools!
tengusaur (02:52:22): Loran rushes towards the Eagail, which jumps back and only suffers a cut to its shoulder instead. It counters by suddenly swinging its head at the White Doll, like a giant morningstar! (react)
Drascin (02:52:44): *Toxiecaps are mushrooms. Mushrooms are plants. Therefore, they burn. This is Pit's logic train, and so he activates his only use of fire shots before strafing the swollen ugly things with a bunch of incendiary spreadfire!+
tengusaur (02:52:45): Corin: "Argh, a hit! But betcha you didn't expect this, eh?"
Meraxa (02:53:13): #Loran
tengusaur (02:53:16): (approved)
sketchbookfiend (02:53:32): Loran: "Whoa!" *The White Doll shifts to the side and pushes back at the head with his Shield to try and catch it before it slams into him.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:45): Alessandra: "Ah! I do not suppose one might have some bases to neutralize this?!"
tengusaur (02:54:34): Pit burns down two of the mushrooms, and the rest doesn't risk getting close enough to him to get burns by the fiery strikes! But instead, two of the flowers aim towards him and try to catch him into a crossfire of lasers straight from their faces! (react)
Meraxa (02:54:39): Amuro: Take this! *And this is why you're meant to be wary of Aces. They have a nasty habit of trying to shoot your mobile suit right in the head+
tengusaur (02:54:42): (Amuro, Josh, Alessandra)
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:51): #Pit
Wyverncakes (02:54:58): (Lineup?)
tengusaur (02:55:01): (approved)
Wyverncakes (02:55:02): (Enemy lineup, I mean)
tengusaur (02:55:10): Enemy list, red: Blader x8, Lethinium x4, Toxiecap x2

Enemy list, yellow: Corin (Eagail) [damaged], Bruno (Gozzo), Jacop (Gozzo)

[damaged]
tengusaur (02:55:59): Amuro's potshot damages the head and causes it to get off its course, missing Loran!
Wyverncakes (02:56:07): * If the Toxicaps are a threat on account of acid, then that's what Josh is going to aim for! He's still got his two Lancers from before, which he has zooom off after one of them, and he lets loose another blast from the Ganador's Edge BLaster to take down the other!+
tengusaur (02:56:10): Corin: "What the! Damn you Gundams!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:17): Alessandra: "Watch out, sir Pit the cherub of modest size!" *With a swipe of its hand, Custos removes its cloak. The cloak is then thrown and wrapped around one of the Lethiniums, to blind it and make it fire unaccurately!+
Drascin (02:56:23): *Pit has Cherubot jump back, trying to dodge the crossfire by shielding itself from one of the beams with its mirror shield ball and trying to weave out of the fire of the other+
tengusaur (02:57:38): Alessandra manages to blind the plant (not a sentence you hear every day), and throw its fire off course! Pit easily defends against the other laser by reflecting it. The Custos' cloak is lost, though.
Drascin (02:58:09): Pit: "What was that about my size? You're almost as short as me!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:31): Alessandra: "Please be more grateful, considering the circumstances. One does not argue in the face of reality!"
Meraxa (02:58:37): Amuro: Now for the others! *And in one smooth pivot, Amuro shifts his aim for the two other mobile suits that the anti-Gundam nut brought with him! Though this time he goes for the shoulder mounted cannons!+
tengusaur (02:59:07): Josh manages to blow up one of the Toxicaps, but while he's aiming at the other and firing the blaster, the mushroom sends several globs of highly dangerous acid flying into his direction! Moreover, the floor around his feet has a lot of acidic pools on it already, so dodging without getting into any of those is tricky! (react)
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:08): Also now that Custos's cloak is gone, one can see it has a backup weapon prepared underneath. Chainsaw arms.
tengusaur (03:00:06): Amuro destroys the cannons of the Gozzos with two precise shots! These suits really are too sluggish to dodge well...
Wyverncakes (03:00:25): * Fortunately the Ganador can take to the air with full-blown flight, in contrast to the Aile, and Josh ascends with another release of heat to try to ward off the acid!+
tengusaur (03:00:32): Bruno: "Oh no, what we'll do now? He he... That's not my only weapon!"
tengusaur (03:01:14): The two Gozzos fire a barrage of missiles towards Amuro from their arm-mounted launchers! (react)
tengusaur (03:02:08): Corin: "Hey! Don't destroy the Gundam! I want to do it!"
Meraxa (03:02:15): Amuro: Tch-! *Thats a lot of missiles, and he's going to shift into waverider form as he tries to leave them trailing behi- wait isn't that the wrong franchise?!+
tengusaur (03:02:23): Jacop: "Sorry, boss! We're just softening it up for you!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:07): Alessandra: "It may not be a graceful weapon, but I shall use it regardless - for gardening!" *She revs up one of the chainsaws and wields it at the toxiecaps, spinning and swinging haphazardly. Alessandra is obviously untrained in using something like this, but she makes up for it with yandere-like enthusiasm!+
tengusaur (03:03:23): Josh takes off to the sky, the exhaust of his machine pushing the acid away!
tengusaur (03:04:20): Alessandra cuts into the last remaining Toxiecap, making it explode into acid! That's bad enough, but to make it worse, three Bladers are flying into her direction, taking the opportunity to blade her! (react)
Wyverncakes (03:04:41): #
tengusaur (03:04:44): (approved)
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:08): Alessandra: "Attacks from behind are most disgracefuuul!" *Still spinning and barely in control, Custos uses its chainsaw blade to blade the Bladers' blades back.+
Wyverncakes (03:05:46): * Those Bladers are going to have a hard time of that, since the Ganador's moving in with the save! No time to draw its blade, the Ganador instead just uses its energy claws to block two of the three Bladers so Alessandra has less to worry about!+
tengusaur (03:07:28): Combined blocking proves very effective at stopping the incoming enemy attacks, and one of them is simply cut through by Alessandra's chainsaw!
tengusaur (03:08:06): Amuro steals from another mecha show and manages to leave most of the missiles exploding behind his back... Though a few explosions still graze him, causing the White Zeta to shake.
Meraxa (03:08:51): Amuro: Not fast enough...
tengusaur (03:08:58): And at the same time, you can see that one of the nearby buildings starts to shift and open up!
tengusaur (03:09:23): Arlon: "Did you know that the whole Sanctum is an extension of my will?"
Meraxa (03:09:44): Amuro: Curious to know.
tengusaur (03:09:47): Arlon: "I am the one who makes it move and function. Without me, it's just a useless pile of metal."
tengusaur (03:10:10): Arlon: "I believe the time for simply watching from afar is over... "
tengusaur (03:10:26): A lift raises from inside the building, revealing a large platform.
Drascin (03:10:30): Palutena: "So if we remove you from inside here we win, then?"
tengusaur (03:10:40): Atop it, stands Arlon, with reinforcements.
Wyverncakes (03:10:47): Josh: "You're making yourself quite the target, you know that?"
tengusaur (03:10:52): Arlon: "I am not sure if you will be able to, dear lady Palutena."
tengusaur (03:11:14): Enemy reinforcements: Arlon, Flage x4, Clobbler x4
tengusaur (03:11:15): http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/images/0/0b/Clobblerpic.png
Drascin (03:11:20): Pit: "You should already know not to underestimate us, Arlon!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:37): Alessandra: "Ahh!" Custos freezes at the sight of Clobblers.
sketchbookfiend (03:11:44): Loran: "This is just great."
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:49): "Who is the most adorable Force of Nature abomination? It is you!"
tengusaur (03:11:50): Arlon raises a hand, causing purple energy to spin around it. "The opposite is true, brave Pit."
Drascin (03:11:54): Pit: "These guys again?!"
tengusaur (03:12:07): The Clobblers just pace around, seemingly not caring about the fight that's going on.
Drascin (03:12:23): Palutena: "They are so adorable."
Pit: "Even when they're mauling my face off?!"
sketchbookfiend (03:12:38): Loran: "Hey, miss, um you better be careful with those apple guys." saying this to Alessandra obviously.
tengusaur (03:12:58): Arlon: "Here I come!"
tengusaur (03:12:58): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U3DAmE0nWw
tengusaur (03:13:02): (Pit, Loran)
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:12): Alessandra: "They are so harmless by appearance, what might go wrong in approaching and befriending them!"
Wyverncakes (03:13:38): Josh: "Are you even hearing the words you're saying?"
tengusaur (03:14:08): (approaching/bothering the Clobblers is a free action, as long as you're not attacking)
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:35): Custos walks up to one of the Clobblers as they waddle around idly, and pets it.
sketchbookfiend (03:14:45): Loran: "Pit fill her in, in the mean time-!" *The White Doll rushes forwards the Eagail and swings the beam saber towards the mech again. He's hoping to cut SOMETHING off of it."
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:47): Then tries to grab it. "What a splendid specimen!"
sketchbookfiend (03:14:49): _
sketchbookfiend (03:14:52): +
Drascin (03:15:03): Pit: "Alessandra! Don't touch-!"
tengusaur (03:15:53): When Alessandra tries to grab the Clobbler, it suddenly flips out, and grows several times in size into a huge, misshapen, angry Hulk-apple! Then it tries to use the arms it suddenly has to Hulk-apple smash! (Alessandra react)
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:14): *Alessandra: "Eeeeeh?!"+
tengusaur (03:17:44): Corin: "Graaah! Eat the Minchi Drill, Gundam!" He swings his spiked club widely, trying to do a cross-counted right into White Doll's face! What shall you do, Loran? (react)
tengusaur (03:18:31): The first his topples the Custos over and damages it! Then the Clobbler starts to jump and down angrily over it, each jump damaging its armor further!
tengusaur (03:18:59): Pit, Amuro, Josh, Alessandra, just not all at once please)
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:43): Alessandra: "I did not expect this course of events!"
Wyverncakes (03:20:02): Josh: "Well we warned you!"
Drascin (03:20:06): *And that's Pit's cue! He rushes the platform where Arlon and the Clobblers are, and bodychecks the large hulk stomping on Alessandra before slamming its orichalcum fist into it!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:39): *From a prone position, Custos grabs its sword and tries to cut the attacking hulk-apple into neat slices.+
Drascin (03:20:46): Pit: "You need to stop just going up to things and touching them!"
Drascin (03:20:59): (to this, Palutena coughs very pointedly)
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:02): Alessandra: "One cannot discover new things without suffering, such is the old law of science!"
sketchbookfiend (03:21:17): *The White Doll leaps upwards over the Minchi drill's path, and swings a kick at Eagail's head on the way back down.+
tengusaur (03:21:52): Pit slams into the apple monster and sends it flying away, in two pieces after Alessandra's sword cuts right through it!
Wyverncakes (03:21:55): * Pit's got the Clobbler attacking Alessandra covered, so Josh turns his attention towards thse darned Flages. Beam claws at the ready, he's going to tear into one of them... but also stay primed for a quick evasion in case its fellows get any ideas.+
tengusaur (03:22:29): One of them flies towards Arlon... But he flies up, avoiding it nimbly, and raises his hand, causing the area to suddenly go dark!
tengusaur (03:23:06): But the darkness disappears as large, purple laser suddenly fires from Arlon's hand, into Pit's direction! (react)
Drascin (03:23:20): Pit: "Wah! I can't see a thing! And Cherubot's sensors are giving me nothin- whoa!"
tengusaur (03:23:42): Loran's blade only cuts off small parts of Egail's armor, but he dodges the club easily and sends a kick to the head, damaging the neck heavily!
Wyverncakes (03:23:56): Josh: "Great... Palutena, can you do anything for him?"
tengusaur (03:24:05): Corin: "Shit! It's because someone turned off the light...!"
tengusaur (03:24:13): Bruno: "I'm afraid of the dark!"
tengusaur (03:24:19): Jacop: "What, really?"
tengusaur (03:24:24): Bruno: "...No."
sketchbookfiend (03:24:36): Loran: "Guys come on, we're from the moon..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:20): Alessandra: "One must trust senses other than sight. Hearing is the most precious of a human's ways to perceive others!"
Drascin (03:25:26): *Okay, so that's a beam that Pit can't really dodge - time to spend the last spell he could prepare, then! He hits a button, hoping to arrive in tim. "Mirror Barrier, go!" he shouts, as a field of concentrical hexacongs appears in front of him, taking the beam and reflecting it before disappearing!+
tengusaur (03:25:38): Corin: "Shut up. I'll smash you to bits yet! He he..."
Meraxa (03:26:21): Amuro: About that...! *And in a move that stings with irony, the White Zeta Waverider has swung around, and looks to be ready to hit Corin's mobile suit head on...!+
sketchbookfiend (03:26:44): Loran: "Guess we'll just take your toy before you can manage it."
tengusaur (03:27:01): Staying alert is a good idea, because the Flage, like a complete cheater, gets immaterial and Josh hits nothing but air! And the other three get behind him and try to cut into the Ganador's back! (react)
tengusaur (03:27:29): At the same time, two Bladers are rushing towards the Custos, trying to cut into it while an angry flower fires a laser! (Alessandra react)
tengusaur (03:28:21): "Whaaa....!" Corin is hit by a waverider crash, but he suddenly quickly draws a short beam rifle and fires it at Amuro at point blank range! (react)
Wyverncakes (03:28:42): * And Josh's response is to get as close to immaterial as he can: double-image away and spin around to cut down those overeager hellions!+
sketchbookfiend (03:28:44): #Amuro
tengusaur (03:28:48): (approved)
sketchbookfiend (03:29:30): Loran: "I don't think so!" *The White Doll quickly pulls out his own Beam Rifle and fires at the Eagail's hand.+
tengusaur (03:29:37): Arlon's beam hits the Cherubot's shield and is dispersed by it, pushing the mech away but otherwise not doing much to it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:54): Alessandra: "I see you perfectly. Years of training honed my senses to perfection, now taste the Consenesco blade!" *Seeing one Blader approach, Custos jumps up into standing position to dodge it at the last moment, its sword clashing with the second one in a show of bladework as Alessandra tries to step away from the laser, putting her melee opponents in its path to make aiming harder!+
tengusaur (03:30:49): Alessandra's maneuver works perfectly, and the Bladers are fried by the laser, while she herself is completely safe!
Meraxa (03:30:56): Amuro: GOOOOOO! *And Amuro is gonna just keep on pushing, seeing if he can knock this thing right out the hole it came in!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:46): Alessandra: "This regrettable friendly fire springs the most brilliant idea into my mind. Shall we use our apple-like foes as improvised grenades?"
tengusaur (03:31:53): What else works perfectly? Loran's interference, causing heavy damage to Eagail's head and making the beam shot hit nothing! Amuro pushes further, throwing the machine away towards a nearby wall!
Meraxa (03:32:27): Amuro: Tch, didn't get the arc right...
tengusaur (03:32:36): Josh's defese is successful, and he cuts down two of the annoying Flages! The last one gets immaterial as well, avoiding his strike.
tengusaur (03:33:04): Corin: "Aaaaahhh! G, Gundam! How dare you! I, I must..."
sketchbookfiend (03:33:18): Loran: "He doesn't know when to quit."
tengusaur (03:33:26): Corin: "I'll destroy your puny asses... Next time!"
Wyverncakes (03:33:27): Josh: "Two down. Good."
tengusaur (03:33:37): Corin: "Bruno, Jacop, cover our escape! Grragh!"
sketchbookfiend (03:33:43): Loran: "Wha-!?"
tengusaur (03:33:47): He sounds horribly bitter that he's forced to retreat.
tengusaur (03:34:10): Bruno: "Sure boss, but... Err... Where?"
tengusaur (03:34:27): Corin: "What?"
tengusaur (03:34:35): Jacop: "The whole place is a maze! How do we get out?"
tengusaur (03:34:49): Corin: "Well..."
Meraxa (03:34:54): Amuro: ...How about the way you all came in? Or is that closed?
Drascin (03:34:55): Palutena: "Oh, for..."
tengusaur (03:34:57): Corin: "THEN WE'LL FIGHT OUR WAY OUT!"
sketchbookfiend (03:35:04): Loran is just sort of...staring at these three bumblers.
tengusaur (03:35:08): (Loran, Pit)
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:16): Alessandra: "I approve of your dedication!"
Drascin (03:35:31): Palutena: "Here, just follow the red arrows" (Palutena makes the Sanctum's systems make some more arrows, in another direction)
tengusaur (03:36:09): Jacop: "Look, boss, we can retre-"
tengusaur (03:36:11): Corin: "NO!"
tengusaur (03:36:40): Corin: "Don't you know that I fight best when cornered? He he..."
sketchbookfiend (03:36:49): Loran: "You know...before you leave. How about I take some weight off your shoulders?" *The White Doll points it's beam rifle at the Eagail and blasts it's arm holding the Minchi Drill.+
Drascin (03:37:20): Pit, on the other hand, is kind of busy trying to locate Arlon himself. But between darkness and illusions, that is being pretty hard!
Drascin (03:37:31): Pit: "Arlon! Show yourself!"
tengusaur (03:37:49): Arlon: "What's the matter? Can't you see me? I am sure you can."
Drascin (03:37:59): Pit: "Aha! Made you talk!"
Drascin (03:38:45): *And with that tip, Pit hits the thrusters to full and rams a brutal cross at roughly 250km/h at the place where the voice came from!+
tengusaur (03:38:49): Loran hits the Eagail's already damaged arm, destroying its shoulder and causing the rest to fall off! But the machine now leaps into his direction and tries to smash the Turn A with its head!
tengusaur (03:38:55): (react)
Meraxa (03:39:05): #Loran
tengusaur (03:39:09): (approved)
tengusaur (03:39:20): Corin: "Die, Gundam! I can't let you live!"
Meraxa (03:39:47): Amuro: Idiot! *And given how close they are, its not exactly hard for a transforming White Zeta to reach out, and try to grab the Eagail's leg to throw it back at the wall!+
tengusaur (03:40:03): Pit hits some dark shadow, which surprising to nobody turns out to be Arlon himself! He's pushed away and smashed into a wall, though he quickly jumps away from it!
tengusaur (03:40:18): Arlon: "Gh... A clever trick, if I say so myself."
tengusaur (03:40:48): He quickly flies to the side, firing several purple energy balls at Pit from different directions! (react)
Drascin (03:40:52): Pit beams, happy with the compliments. "Thanks!"
Drascin (03:41:17): Pit: "Whoa!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:40): #Pit
Drascin (03:41:43): *And he's going to try to block as many of them as he can, and hope Cherubot can take the rest+
tengusaur (03:41:44): (waiting to see if Loran does something with that react too)
tengusaur (03:41:48): (approved)
tengusaur (03:41:55): (Amuro, Josh, Alessandra)
sketchbookfiend (03:42:14): Loran: "Not happening anytime soon." *The White Doll leaps away from the Eagail's head, and will let Amuro's surprise play out for Corin.+
Wyverncakes (03:42:34): (Who's left?)
tengusaur (03:42:46): Enemy list, red: Blader x5, Lethinium x4, Flage x2, Clobbler x3, Arlon
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:13): *Custos speeds up and runs towards one of the Clobblers. "I shall use my plan as discussed earlier!" Like a football player, Alessandra kicks! She sends the creature flying in the way of Arlon's lasers - if it hulks out, all the better!+
tengusaur (03:43:32): Amuro grabs Corin and swings him around, sending the heavily damaged Eagail smashing into a wall!
tengusaur (03:43:44): Corin: "GAAAAAARGH...!"
Meraxa (03:44:07): Amuro: *And with that, Amuro will raise his beam rifle in the Engail's direction, but not pull the trigger... yet*
Meraxa (03:44:10): Amuro: What is your name?
tengusaur (03:44:24): Corin: "Why do you wanna know?!"
sketchbookfiend (03:44:37): Loran: "Amuro he said it when he showed up."
Drascin (03:45:05): Palutena: "Just humour him. I think it's mostly for a reference"
tengusaur (03:45:32): Arlon is hit by an angry apple football with enough force that it explodes!
Wyverncakes (03:45:46): * Two Flages left. Good. "Let's see how long you can hold up that intangible trick." Two Lancers fly out straight at the Flages. If they hit, great. If the Flages go transparent, the Lancers are going to stop right where the creatures are semi-visible. You can't turn physical again when there's big blades waiting to tear up your insides, right?+
Meraxa (03:45:56): Amuro: I don't remember it... but alright then, tell me later. And you! My name is Amuro Ray. Do you know what that means?
tengusaur (03:46:15): Arlon: "Tch... Please don't forget, this place is an extension of my will."
sketchbookfiend (03:47:06): Loran is about to say something else but he'll let this play out. Maybe somehow Corin Nander does know about him...
tengusaur (03:47:14): Suddenly a pillar raises from the ground, throwing the Custos back! Alessandra lands... right next to the other two Clobblers, which proceed to hulk out angrily! Better do something before they ask do you even lift! (react)
Wyverncakes (03:47:38): # (Alessandra)
tengusaur (03:47:40): Corin: "The White..."
tengusaur (03:47:46): (denied)
Drascin (03:48:24): Palutena: "Why was the Lunar Sanctum even built anyway? It seems kind of too high profile for someone like you, Arlon"
Drascin (03:48:34): Pit: "Aaaaah! Alessandra!"
Drascin (03:48:38): #Alessandra
tengusaur (03:48:48): Good news: Josh simply destroys the last two Flages, leaving them no room for escape!
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:00): Alessandra: "What quick thinking! I appreciate your brilliance, even though it is aimed at yours truly!" *Custos still has thrusters, you know. It takes to the skies - up, up and away from apple punches!+
Meraxa (03:49:02): Amuro: Devil, yes. In One Year, I made a single word synonymous with power and destruction. For all intents and purposes... I. Am. GUNDAM.
tengusaur (03:49:43): Bad news: The remaining Forces of Nature focus on him now, firing beams and lasers from several directions towards Ganador! (react)
tengusaur (03:49:47): (Pit approved)
tengusaur (03:50:02): Corin: "ARGHH! Go to hell, Gundam!"
tengusaur (03:50:22): Eagail raises its beam rifle shakily, aiming at White Zeta! (Amuro react)
Drascin (03:50:26): Pit: Hey, Uglies! Leave her alone!
Meraxa (03:50:43): Amuro: Only if you leave, and get the skills necessary to defeat me. Rather than pointlessly lose your life here. *He fires once, straight into the weapon's barrel+
Wyverncakes (03:50:44): * And in the face of that, Josh is going to fall back and put his faith in his shield to keep him alive!+
Drascin (03:50:52): *And Pit is going to rush them, shooting at them continuously to draw the aggro of the rather simple creatures+
tengusaur (03:51:50): Amuro's shot hits the enemy's beam rifle, destroying it completely! The Eagail is too damaged to even move...
tengusaur (03:51:58): It's pretty much a wreck at this point.
tengusaur (03:52:14): The two Gozzos jump towards it and start to pick it up.
tengusaur (03:52:22): Bruno: "C'mon! We gotta get out of here!"
tengusaur (03:52:38): Corin: "NO! I made my mind, I want to fight! I want to..."
tengusaur (03:52:53): The protests disappear in the distance as they proceed to get the hell out of here.
Meraxa (03:53:04): Amuro: ...Good, they're gone...
sketchbookfiend (03:53:08): Loran: "Guess we won't have to worry about him any time soon." The White Doll approaches and goes to retrieve his new toy. That Minchi Drill.
tengusaur (03:53:34): At the same time!
tengusaur (03:54:22): Josh backs off, the field protecting Ganador, though it's barely holding up at this point!
tengusaur (03:54:41): Pit manages to grab the apples' attention, and they are not angrily stomping into Cherubot's direction!
tengusaur (03:55:08): Only a few enemies are left, and all that's needed is the final push!
tengusaur (03:55:10): Enemy list, red: Blader x5, Lethinium x4, Clobbler x2, Arlon
Drascin (03:55:13): Pit: "...Oooops. I might not have thougfht this plan all the way through"
tengusaur (03:55:15): (pretty much everyone can move now)
Wyverncakes (03:56:11): Josh: "Well... it did its job..."
tengusaur (03:56:18): Arlon: "The purpose of this facility..."
tengusaur (03:56:27): Arlon: "Is not something I can reveal to you."
Drascin (03:56:41): Palutena: "You realize that only makes me more curious"
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:51): Alessandra: "What a distraction! Exactly what I required!" *Just as it went up, now Custos goes back down. One hand carries a sword and aims to stab through a Clobbler and turn it into an apple shishkabob, the other activates a chainsaw and goes full RIP AND TEAR from behind on the other.+
Wyverncakes (03:57:05): The Ganador's gonna throw aside its ruined shield before charging in. "Doesn't matter either way. We'll study its crap when we're done here!"
tengusaur (03:57:55): Alessandra just makes one gigantic apple pie, ready for baking. Dozer would probably approve, if he was still alive.
Drascin (03:58:07): Pit: Whew. Thanks for that!
Meraxa (03:58:17): Amuro: Loran, lets see if we can't catch up to the others!
Wyverncakes (03:58:37): * Josh lets more Ultimate Lancers fly out, two of them zooming towards Lethiniums to run through their eyes. But the Lancers can do more than just stab, though, and for good measure they explode afterwards!+
tengusaur (03:58:58): Arlon: "That curiosity will have to remain unfulfilled, I'm afraid."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:03): Alessandra: "I did not manage to collect a single specimen for further study. Oh, what a loss for science!"
sketchbookfiend (03:59:33): Loran: "Got it." Loran picks up the Drill, hefting it over the White Doll's shoulder and rushes towards the boss battle.
Drascin (03:59:41): *And with that opening, Pit is going to turn and send Cherubot hurtling straight at Arlon again, fist extended in a huge (and honestly kind of telegraphed when fighting a teleporter like Arlon) punch...&
tengusaur (04:00:28): Josh blows up two of the flower-like monsters, causing the remaining two to focus their attention at them and fire their lasers straight into his direction! (react)
tengusaur (04:01:04): Seeing Pit fly at him, Arlon simply teleports behind and sends a wave of dark purple energy towards him with a wide swing of his hand! (react)
tengusaur (04:01:08): /continue
Drascin (04:02:52): &...and it's only when he does that that he might notice there's not actually anyone at the controls of the Cherubot. Probably too late to stop the Pit coming running from behind him, sword in hand, and doing a rising cut that would make any shotoclone proud! Looks like those classes with Sam are starting to pay off!+
Drascin (04:03:12): (in the meantime, the unmanned Charubot crashes into a wall, but don't worry, it's tough)
Wyverncakes (04:04:15): * "Don't think I haven't got a handle on your firing pattern!" Ganador will juke and swerve around the shots, Josh letting his After Images take care of the dirty work... and while they're busy trying to shoot at him, let's see them respond to Falchion Saber being thrown boomerange-style to chop them to pieces!+
tengusaur (04:07:25): Josh manages to fool the creatures easily and avoids their attack using afterimages! Most of the Forces of Nature are not very smart...
sketchbookfiend (04:07:28): *The White Doll rushes onto the scene and skids to a halt, swinging it's arm and aiming to smash the Minchi Drill into a Blader, and towards whatever other Enemy happens to be neat by.+
tengusaur (04:07:46): The thrown saber just cuts through the remaining two flowers!
tengusaur (04:08:05): Loran smashes two Bladers at once! The Minchi Drill is a really powerful weapon, if not exactly a subtle one...
tengusaur (04:08:23): The remaining Bladers try to swarm them, as much as you can when there's only 3 of you! (react)
tengusaur (04:08:40): And at the same time...
tengusaur (04:08:48): Arlon realizes he's been fooled!
tengusaur (04:08:54): Arlon: "Oh dear... Well done..."
tengusaur (04:09:23): And the sword just slashes into him with full force, making him fly backwards and smashing into the floor like a heavy log!
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:05): Alessandra: "Is he dead? Could it be?"
tengusaur (04:10:11): The darkness over the battlefield slowly fades...
Drascin (04:10:28): Pit stands on guard, blade before him
sketchbookfiend (04:10:43): Loran isn't quite used to the weight of his newly looted weapon, so as the Bladers come he loses balance and the Turn A falls right on it's ass. PERHAPS A LUCKY DODGE?
tengusaur (04:10:43): Arlon seems to move a little. Look, he's raising his arm, as if trying to climb back on his feet.
tengusaur (04:11:20): Loran gets cut up a little bit, but that worked as a very undignified way to dodge.
Drascin (04:11:22): Palutena: "Well, it seems he's alive. Come on, Arlon. You know you can't win this. Just surrender"
tengusaur (04:11:42): Arlon: "My control... Is slipping..."
tengusaur (04:11:56): Arlon: "I can't keep up the main core running..."
tengusaur (04:12:02): The whole thing starts to shake!
Wyverncakes (04:12:13): Josh: "Then give up on it and get out of here!"
Wyverncakes (04:12:24): "One way or another this place is getting destroyed!"
Drascin (04:12:27): Pit and Palutena simultaneously: "...uh oh"
tengusaur (04:12:31): Arlon: "So should you...!"
tengusaur (04:12:49): The Bladers zoom past, picking up their wounded master, and disappear somewhere away!
sketchbookfiend (04:12:50): Loran: "Oh crap." The White Doll starts scrambling to it's feet. As much as a giant robot can scramble.
Drascin (04:12:56): Pit: "Okayyeahnicetomeetyou EVERYBODY RUN!"
Drascin (04:13:58): and with that he runs to Cherubot and fires it up again. "Lady Palutena! Where to?"
Palutena: "Just follow the red arrows! And hurry!"
Wyverncakes (04:14:02): Josh completely agrees with this!
Wyverncakes (04:14:07): Ganador fleeing gogogogogo!
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:10): Alessandra: "I expected the leave to be less dramatic than the entrance!" You do not have to tell her that, Custos starts running!
Meraxa (04:14:27): Amuro: *Is already flying. Glad he got those others to flee*
sketchbookfiend (04:14:51): Loran hefts the Minchi Drill over his mobile suits shoulders and kicks on the thrusters to get zooming the fuck out of there. He's behind the pack with the weight but not by much.
tengusaur (04:15:51): You quickly leave, following the helpful arrows set by Palutena!
tengusaur (04:16:15): And right on time, because as soon as you get out of the Sanctum, it falls apart!
Drascin (04:16:24): Pit is keeping up as much as he can, following the path marked by the arrows. And any enemies in the route are probably busy pursuing the three guys she sent this way beforehand!
Meraxa (04:16:32): Amuro: Hope that doesn't land anywhere populated...
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:44): Alessandra: "How dramatically appropriate, the false moon disintegrates just as the heroes leave its premises."
tengusaur (04:16:50): Luckily, whatever is left of it is mostly floating in space, and it doesn't look like it's going to fall ito atmosphere...
Drascin (04:16:53): Palutena: I doubt it will land at all
tengusaur (04:17:09): Well, looks like the Junk Guild is going to have a field trip with it!
tengusaur (04:17:13): MISSION COMPLETE
Drascin (04:17:38): Palutena: As Arlon said, it was kept together mostly through will. Most of it is going to turn into junk really fast, I imagine
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:42): Alessandra: "My friends, it was so good to see you again. But alas, I must depart once more - science awaits!"
sketchbookfiend (04:17:50): Loran: "You know...I'm kind of wondering how the Moonrace got here though."
Meraxa (04:18:04): Amuro: I imagine they must have ships of some kind... maybe scan around?
sketchbookfiend (04:18:05): Loran: "Gozzo aren't exactly designed for space travel..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:18:41): Custos flies away, aiming its thrusters towards a retro-looking space rocket that was just parked nearby. Will Alessandra really be alright?
sketchbookfiend (04:18:43): Loran: "Good idea. I kind of doubt who sent them..."
Drascin (04:18:50): Pit: I still am kind of wondering what all that stuff Arlon was saying was, though...
sketchbookfiend (04:19:04): The White Doll waves to Custos as it flies off, a sign of thanks for the help.
Wyverncakes (04:19:21): Josh: "We'll find out sooner or later, Pit."
Wyverncakes (04:19:29): "But seriously..."
Drascin (04:19:39): and yes, Pit waves goodbye to Alessandra as she goes
Wyverncakes (04:19:46): "If the answer would've been something we woudl've liked, he would have told us."
Wyverncakes (04:19:57): And Alessandra, you get a friendly farewell wave from Josh too.
Wyverncakes (04:20:03): Comrades don't ever get forgotten.
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:06): Alessandra waves back. "I shall never forget the precious memories we made this day! The day when the false moon fell will be in my heart always!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:21): "Please forget the part about apples though."
Wyverncakes (04:20:33): Josh: "Just so long as you don't."
Drascin (04:20:42): Palutena: "I am... not so sure. Arlon is the type that doesn't really consider vows to be susceptible to such silly things as "circumstances" or "reality""
Meraxa (04:21:22): Amuro: So good OR bad, he wouldn't have told us. Well, for now, lets get back to the ship... I have things to finish up
Wyverncakes (04:22:04): Josh: "... Great."
Wyverncakes (04:22:10): "At any rate... we'll play it by ear."
Drascin (04:22:33): Pit: Well, anyway, we won! Time for celebrating!
Drascin (04:22:57): Pit: And did you see that trick I did with Cherubot? That was totally clever, right?
Meraxa (04:24:02): Amuro: You'll have to tell me that one later. I've gotta get back and get changed... a date's a date, whether its on the ground or in orbit. *And with that, Amuro cuts his commline*
