Mission 207: "I Will Head Towards Tomorrow"
wyverncakes 7:47 pm
(7:47:21 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_3sSQ6KNgM
(7:48:14 PM): You're all onboard a shuttle, following after the massive mobile fortress of Teppelin!
wyverncakes 7:49 pm
(7:49:05 PM): The Chalice has already gone on ahead to try to warn nearby population centers of the Beastmen army, and then swing around to help out if it comes to that.
(7:49:35 PM): But in the meantime, you're moving along with the Dai-Gurren!
Overman Zappa 7:50 pm
(7:50:11 PM): Simon is standing ATOP the Dai-Gurren, solo. Like a damn badass. Because he is. He's also the Determinator right now, so there's that.
wyverncakes 7:50 pm
(7:50:17 PM): So how's everyone gearing up for this push to try to stop the Spiral King?
ZebulonCrispi 7:50 pm
(7:50:22 PM): Leopold is attempting to explain the human concept of Music to Bismuth.
(7:50:27 PM): With mixed success.
(7:50:40 PM): It's getting very abstract.
macprysm 7:50 pm
(7:50:47 PM): Yuu is standing, cross-armed in front of a window as the Tepplin looms closer. "An evil fortress indeed. How did this thing get built with no one noticing?"
troublefirecat 7:51 pm
(7:51:02 PM): Rock is doing some last minute adjustments to Rush, nothing too major, just prep work for the fight ahead.
Meraxa 7:51 pm
(7:51:25 PM): Rossiu: We're honestly not sure where it comes from... Beastmen are a bit of a mystery like that.
VJockey 7:51 pm
(7:51:34 PM): [Sam was standing at the prow of the ship, hand at his sword and looking off into the distance.]
wyverncakes 7:51 pm
(7:51:39 PM): Ayame: "Keep in mind that Simon and the others are from another universe."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:51 pm
(7:51:44 PM): Matthew trades a high five with Tynall and Chandra aboard the bridge, before taking the lift down to his new, improved Nova Messenger!
sketchbookfiend 7:51 pm
(7:51:47 PM): Loran is NOT dressing up all pretty and then getting onto the mission at the last second. He's doing the general Turn A pre-checks. Making sure his chest is full up on missiles and such.
wyverncakes 7:51 pm
(7:51:51 PM): "It's possible that the fortress is a late arrival."
(7:52:00 PM): Yes Ayame's there too.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:52 pm
(7:52:01 PM): "Let us do this." He says to it. "Together, with Simon. With all our friends."
wyverncakes 7:52 pm
(7:52:30 PM): Not like her absence would hurt the evacuation stuff
macprysm 7:53 pm
(7:53:32 PM): Yuu: "It does resemble a giant drill. Perhaps it drilled through the dimensional boundary? Heh." He shakes his head and puts on a grin that Ryouma would be proud of. "It doesn't matter. We of the Dai-Gurren Brigade will take it down, the same as any other threat to this planet!"
sketchbookfiend 7:54 pm
(7:54:01 PM): Loran: "Wouldn't a drill that could do that cause some serious dimensional damage?"
ZebulonCrispi 7:54 pm
(7:54:23 PM): Leopold: "And if things go well enough, maybe we'll be able to figure out why these people are so keen on attacking humanity."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:54 pm
(7:54:28 PM): Matthew starts up his mech and moves out to the main deck. "Well said, Yuushashiro!"
wyverncakes 7:54 pm
(7:54:39 PM): Ayame: "At any rate... we're almost in range."
Meraxa 7:54 pm
(7:54:52 PM): Rossiu: ...Wait, you're in the brigade?! *Rossiu is in shock at the development!*
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:01 PM): "Additionally. Sam, Simon? The bridge crew asked me to ask you if you could get off their roof!" He adds.
wyverncakes 7:55 pm
(7:55:05 PM): "Everyone suit up; it's time."
Overman Zappa 7:55 pm
(7:55:21 PM): Simon folds his arms and stares down the giant towering thing that is Tepplin. The Sauce of all Beastmen.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:23 PM): "I invited him." Matthew explains to Rossiu. "Was that out of line?"
ZebulonCrispi 7:55 pm
(7:55:55 PM): Bismuth fuses with Leopold to form Super Bismuth!
Meraxa 7:56 pm
(7:56:12 PM): Rossiu: I... uh... lets just get our suits! *And he's off*
macprysm 7:56 pm
(7:56:51 PM): Yuu cracks his neck, looking over at the kid with the big forehead. "No need to sweat the details, right?" Then leaps to the cockpit of his X-Buster.
Atrament Corel 7:57 pm
(7:57:02 PM): Neptune soon joins the two on the roof too, apparently a quick 'thanks for the meal' was in order for that bit of pudding she just ate.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:57 pm
(7:57:28 PM): Matthew opens a comm line to Simon. "I would ask if you were ready for this, but it would be a redundant question, quiaff?"
Overman Zappa 7:57 pm
(7:57:39 PM): If Simon's gaze were a drill, this would be over already. Alas... what're the odds of manifesting THAT much Spiral Energy?
(7:57:54 PM): Simon: "Quiaff."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:58 pm
(7:58:07 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E8wHTX5nac
(7:58:28 PM): Matthew nods brightly.
ZebulonCrispi 7:58 pm
(7:58:41 PM): Bismith: "Hohoh... I can feel his fighting spirit clearly."
sketchbookfiend 7:59 pm
(7:59:19 PM): Loran: "Is that something you can feel?" The relatively real robot pilot and his rhetorical questions.
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 7:59 pm
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:59 pm
(7:59:28 PM): "Stravag! You are sentient?" Matthew exclaims. "I apologize, I had no idea!"
ZebulonCrispi 7:59 pm
(7:59:51 PM): Bismoth: "Of course it is! Super Bismuth is equipped with highly advanced sensors. To detect fighting spirit is child's play!"
(7:59:53 PM): Bismuth*
sketchbookfiend 8:00 pm
(8:00:16 PM): Loran: "Technology sure is amazing."
macprysm 8:00 pm
(8:00:43 PM): Yuu: "Leave the small fry to us, Simon. This is your show. For the justice of all those who would be oppressed underground, as well as those seeking a brighter future, we shall not allow this fortress to stay standing!"
vertigojockey@gmail.com has been invited. 8:01 pm
vertigojockey@gmail.com has entered the room. 8:01 pm
Atrament Corel 8:01 pm
(8:01:26 PM): Neptune: "I didn't think anything would have sensors for that..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:01 pm
(8:01:49 PM): "If a force comes against us that cannot be pushed back against," Matthew declares, improving off Yuu's own speech. "Then we shall push back against it anyway!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:01 pm
(8:01:51 PM): Leopold: "I guess it comes with being a proud warrior alien."
(8:01:56 PM): Bismuth: "Well said!"
wyverncakes 8:02 pm
(8:02:22 PM): At any rate, those of you with mechs are free to get into them
(8:02:31 PM): Those without are free to hitch a ride one way or another.
(8:03:06 PM): Ayame: "Attenborough, ready the main guns."
VJockey 8:03 pm
(8:03:08 PM): [Sam was already in his exoskeleton. One of the reasons he was waiting on the roof was because he was already ready.]
troublefirecat 8:03 pm
(8:03:26 PM): Rock has Rush so he doesn't need a ride. After finishing preperations, he orders Rush into Jet Mode and hops on.
VJockey 8:03 pm
(8:03:43 PM): "Well... This looks to like its going to be a good time."
Overman Zappa 8:03 pm
(8:03:59 PM): Simon yanks the drill from around his neck and points it toward Tepplin. "Dai-Gurren Brigade. White Chalice. Ours is the force that will pierce this evil! Ours is the spirit that will defeat these Beastmen and keep them from ever taking another from us. To keep them from ever trying to oppress humanity, alien, or robot kind and keep us living in fear, digging holes of despair. OURS IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!" And he raises the Core Drill up high. You can just FEEL that powah! Maybe even you, Loran. Maybe even you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V7aUT13qtM
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:20 PM): Bismuth can calculate the powah to three significant digits!
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:22 PM): AND feel it.
wyverncakes 8:04 pm
(8:04:33 PM): Dayakka: "The Dai-Gurren's ready!" Each of its cannons is primed and pointing towards the Teppelin and its horde of Ganmen... and then the first brutal salvo is unleashed!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:04 pm
(8:04:48 PM): Matthew…is hella pumped up!!!
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:52 PM): Leopold: "What a fine public speaker."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:04 pm
(8:04:54 PM): "Seyla."
wyverncakes 8:05 pm
(8:05:05 PM): Ayame: "And now they know we're here. Everyone, we'll provide as much support as possible!"
Meraxa 8:05 pm
(8:05:10 PM): Rossiu: I still wouldn't trust him with public office... but what do I know?
sketchbookfiend 8:05 pm
(8:05:38 PM): Loran feels SOMETHING, mostly those goosebumps you feel during the climax of a cool series. Turn A is definitely also blinking with hype power though.
macprysm 8:05 pm
(8:05:44 PM): The X-Buster lands and begins to stride alongside the Dai-Gurren. It still doesn't fly long distances. Yuu brings each foot down heavy in the dirt. Energy's flowing through him, his cockpit's blazing with spirit...that heroic speech has powered him up to unnaturally high levels!
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:00 PM): And yeah, there's a crapton of Ganmen coming towards you, and even the massive fortress itself turns to face you all.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:06 pm
(8:06:01 PM): "What was that, Rossiu?" Matthew interjects.
(8:06:16 PM): While taking aim at the incoming Ganmen.
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:23 PM): (Teppelin: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091220142829/gurennlagann/images/6/65/Dekabutsu.gif)
VJockey 8:06 pm
(8:06:51 PM): [Sam had a grin on his face, the sort he had as he was primed for a fight - drawing his sword slowly as electricity arced off the blade.]
(8:07:01 PM): "I don't know much about drills Simon."
Meraxa 8:07 pm
(8:07:03 PM): Rossiu: How about we focus on the huge ganmen over there?
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:05 PM): "But..."
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:08 PM): (Lineup: Simon/Rossiu, Matthew, Rock, Yuu, Loran, Leo, Neptune)
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:18 PM): "I'll cut a path all the same."
(8:07:22 PM): (OI!)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:07 pm
(8:07:24 PM): "Indeed!"
sketchbookfiend 8:07 pm
(8:07:24 PM): Loran just stares in SHOCK because wat the fortress is also a robot?
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:27 PM): (Derp)
Atrament Corel 8:07 pm
(8:07:35 PM): Neptune: "You tell 'em, Sam!"
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:40 PM): (Simon/Rossiu, Matthew, rock, Yuu, Sam, Loran, Leon, Neptune)
(8:07:46 PM): (Enemies: Ganmen x 300, Teppelin)
Atrament Corel 8:07 pm
(8:07:56 PM): And the puny goddess draws her sword as well!
wyverncakes 8:08 pm
(8:08:04 PM): (The Dai-Gurren can be used for attack support, just don't go willy-nilly with it)
(8:08:09 PM): (Simon/Rossiu, Matthew)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:08 pm
(8:08:11 PM): "Let us show them how the Gurren Brigade truly fights!" Matthew declares, toggling active targeting.
Meraxa 8:08 pm
(8:08:17 PM): Rossiu: Simon, time to combine?
Overman Zappa 8:08 pm
(8:08:29 PM): *Simon is still atop the Dai-Gurren. "Dai-GURREN! ALL GUNS FORWARD! OPEN A PATH!" And at that order, every damn gun opens fire, shaking and rattling the Dai-Gurren under his feet (and maybe under Sam and Nep's as well cuz standing.) He'll get in the Lagan in a bit.
Meraxa 8:10 pm
(8:10:08 PM): Rossiu: ...Alright then. Lets try this the old fashioned way. CHARGE! *And charge he does, the Gurren leaping into the fray as it draws its shades saber to slash at the nearest foe+
wyverncakes 8:11 pm
(8:11:53 PM): [Simon/Rossiu] Ayame: "Cannons are reloaded! Fire!" The Dai-Gurren looses another barrage into the ranks of enemy Ganmen, downing a baker's dozen as other still are damaged while trying to evade, and another one gets screwed over as the flying Gurren Lagann cleaves through it in one go! But before you get too high on your horses... "Simon... KAMIIINAAAAAA!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:12 pm
(8:12:14 PM): Matthew: "YOU!!!"
wyverncakes 8:12 pm
(8:12:19 PM): And suddenly a white Ganmen can be seen falling from above, slashing down with two blades to cut through Gurren Lagann!
(8:12:21 PM): (React: Simon)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:12 pm
(8:12:27 PM): # Simon?
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:14 PM): (Err, Rossiu. Derp)
(8:13:42 PM): (And gonna nix that support defend for storyline reasons. Besides, you've got your own turn to worry about)
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:58 PM): (Rock, Yuu, Sam)
Meraxa 8:15 pm
(8:15:01 PM): Rossiu: ...W-W-Whoa! *With just the Gurren to work with, Rossiu finds himself rather awkwardly trying to defend at the sudden arrival on the scene!* Simon, we have company!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:15 pm
(8:15:25 PM): *Matthew levels his guns at the flying Ganmen. "Be smashed to bits against the earth! Take this! Dai-Gurren Nova Lightshow!!!" All the lights in the sky are lasers! And not the rave club kind!+
macprysm 8:16 pm
(8:16:04 PM): The X-Buster, burning with spirit, leaps headlong above a crowd of Ganmen! It's already got its plasma field deployed to deflect incoming fire as it attempts a landing on some poor mook's head. "DAI-GURREN FOR THE HECK OF IT KICK!"+
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:09 PM): [Rossiu] And Gurren is struck... by not two but four blades! Viral's machine... it's got four arms! "You might have thought you'd seen the last of me... that you cut me down along with all the others."
troublefirecat 8:17 pm
(8:17:42 PM): Rock, jetted forward on Rush, deciding to give Needle Cannon a whirl as he fired a few large Needle shaped projectiles at the nearest Ganmen "Eat this! Needle Cannon!" +
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:50 PM): "But I survived... even when nobody else did. Lordgenome and I are all that's left... but all that's necessary in this world!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:18 pm
(8:18:14 PM): "Rossiu! Need assistance cleaning out the trash?" Matthew shouts.
Overman Zappa 8:18 pm
(8:18:15 PM): Seeing <i>that guy</i> drop out of the air, Simon finally high-tails it to the Lagan, and gets his arse into gear!
VJockey 8:18 pm
(8:18:29 PM): *Sam's going to charge.... at Viral - resheathing his sword and letting loose a gunpowered quickdraw at one of the arms!+
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:33 PM): [Matthew] The Nova's lights tear through two more of the Ganmen... but two jet-like Ganmen are already flying around to flank you, firing missiles at the Nova's back!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:18 pm
(8:18:34 PM): Matthew looks up. "Heh. Nevermind."
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:51 PM): (Enkidudu: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091220132006/gurennlagann/images/thumb/4/44/Enkidudu.gif/500px-Enkidudu.gif)
Meraxa 8:18 pm
(8:18:55 PM): Rossiu: Wait... Viral?!
VJockey 8:19 pm
(8:19:02 PM): "Oh do pardon my interruption but..."
(8:19:09 PM): "Do you mind if I cut in?"
wyverncakes 8:19 pm
(8:19:42 PM): [Yuu] There's admittedly a lot of fire coming in anyways just from that crowd alone, but X-Buster takes negligable damage bfore it smashes through one of the enemy mooks! Yeah!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:20 pm
(8:20:06 PM): *Matthew triggers his jump-jets up, and spinning around in midair, lets off a barrage of lasers at the incoming missiles! "NOVA SPINNING…BURST!"+
macprysm 8:20 pm
(8:20:11 PM): Yuu: Plenty more where that came from! Come at me from anywhere you'd like, cannon fodder!"
arachnion01@gmail.com has entered the room. 8:20 pm
wyverncakes 8:21 pm
(8:21:03 PM): [Rock] The needles pierce through that particular Ganman, kinda a scaled-down version of the Dai-Gurren... but while you're doing that a slew of missiles come from below to catch you off-guard!
(8:21:06 PM): (React: Rock)
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:14 PM): [Sam] You've got small size and the element of surprise (more or less) on your side, but the machine still does have plenty of swords to spare for defense! Enkidudu does manage to block your quickdraw, but the Ganmen is still knocked back all the same! "... Tch... If you want to fight then get in a machine!" And another stream of missiles are fired from the machine at Sam's general direction!
(8:23:29 PM): (Loran, Leo, Neptune)
ZebulonCrispi 8:23 pm
(8:23:46 PM): * Super Bismuth takes flight and shapeshifts, its hands becoming ray guns once more!
(8:23:50 PM): * A hail of Negaforce Rays hammer down on the Beastman Army, completely harmless but draining energy from targets left and right. +
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:59 PM): [Matthew] It's a bit of a close call with the missiles spread so far apart, but you still manage to blow apart them in time to only get the Nova burned a bit from the exchange!
sketchbookfiend 8:26 pm
(8:26:31 PM): *The Turn A rockets into the mass of Ganmen with both beam swords drawn and he starts slashing into the enemy forces. Here's hoping the I-Field knows how to do it's job.+
Atrament Corel 8:26 pm
(8:26:33 PM): *Neptune runs up to some of those Beastmen - zigzagging as she does - and leaps into the air to slash down at them with an ice-infused blade!+
troublefirecat 8:26 pm
(8:26:34 PM): Well, just because Rush is in jet mode doesn't mean he's not aware of what's going on around him. Like any good robo dog partner, he reacts by banking out of the way, surprising Rock a bit, though his own proximity alarm had gone off at the same time. "Whoa!" +
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:45 PM): [Leo] And at first, the Ganmen try to flee from the Negaforce Ray assault... but those caught within it just sorta realize that, oh wow... it's not even hurting! "It's a bluff!" "Take him down!" Aaaaaaaaaaand soon enough you've got a group of twenty-odd Ganmen charging towards the Super Bismuth... only to all stumble and fall into a heap! It'd almost be reason enough to celebrate. EXCEEEEEEPT!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:26 pm
(8:26:46 PM): Matthew bares his teeth. "MY TURN." He declares to the Beastmen…as soon as his actual turn comes about.
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:54 PM): ???: "Well well, Leopold!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:27 pm
(8:27:11 PM): Leopold: "WHY NOW."
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:41 PM): "I knew of the Chalice's journeys, but at first I didn't expect that you'd go and join up with them. And now I see you aiding them in an attack on another ruler, is that right?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:27 pm
(8:27:51 PM): "Ahah..."
(8:27:54 PM): "...hi, Mags!"
(8:28:06 PM): "Can I assume you're here to help us in our battle against evil?"
wyverncakes 8:28 pm
(8:28:20 PM): Indeed, floating up in the air above all of you stood... another Bismuth?!?
Atrament Corel 8:28 pm
(8:28:23 PM): Neptune: "What, what? Is it backup?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:28 pm
(8:28:49 PM): Bismuth: "Hail, countryman! Are you friend or foe?"
VJockey 8:28 pm
(8:28:55 PM): *Sam grins, spreading his arms in a taunting manner. "Oh? But I'm not the one cowering in fear inside a metal shell." and at the last second he swings his blade at one of the missiles, running forward and leaping onto one, then another! Then another after that - repeating his leap across the swarm of explosives before letting loose another quickdraw swing! This time though... if he fell short of range? Well Viral's about to get a facefull of blade-hurricane.+
sketchbookfiend 8:28 pm
(8:28:58 PM): Loran: "Isn't that-" The Turn A's head motions between the two Bismuths.
wyverncakes 8:29 pm
(8:29:05 PM): "Mags": "Don't think I'd be so eager as to let you succeed here. If you all win, what then? Will you be taking that massive fortress as your own castel once you're King?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:29 pm
(8:29:21 PM): Leopold: "Sister, wait, I can explain--"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:29 pm
(8:29:49 PM): "A newcomer to the battlefield?" Matthew wonders.
Overman Zappa 8:30 pm
(8:30:05 PM): Simon: "I'm not trying to be King. I'm trying to stop them from them from attacking more people!
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:13 PM): [Leo cont.] "You can explain after you're defeated!" And thus this not-Bismuth charges down at the original machine, its arms swinging down like whips at the machine!
(8:30:18 PM): (React: Leo)
ZebulonCrispi 8:30 pm
(8:30:45 PM): * Super Bismuth forms regular hands again, attempting to grab the whips out of the air! +
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:47 PM): "Mag": "I have no concern for what the rest of you do here. My concern, my only concern, is my little brother Leopold."
ZebulonCrispi 8:31 pm
(8:31:23 PM): Bismuth: "Everyone, this is Leopold's honorable duel! Leave this foe to us--"
(8:31:32 PM): Leopold: "ACTUALLY ANY BACKUP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS"
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:54 PM): [Loran] And Turn A's swords hack through four more Ganmen in all the confusion, but the others are falling away in the meantime! And yeah, you've got an I-Field, but a huge amount of dakka's coming your way now too, in the form of missiles, bullets, and even thrown axes!
(8:31:57 PM): (React: Loran)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:32 pm
(8:32:03 PM): "Then gain some concern, newcomer!" Matthew snarls. "The world does not revolve around you and your family quarrels!!! Lift your eyes up and see what is happening!"
(8:32:10 PM): #Leopold?
ZebulonCrispi 8:32 pm
(8:32:34 PM): (I'm cool with it)
macprysm 8:32 pm
(8:32:36 PM): #Loran
VJockey 8:32 pm
(8:32:44 PM): "Oh I wouldn't bother wth trying to reason with her Matthew."
(8:32:50 PM): "I know her type."
sketchbookfiend 8:33 pm
(8:33:07 PM): *Loran dodges through the axes, and lets the bullets hit and wear down his I-Field, it's not nearly as much as a problem as those missiles. Which he's slashing at with both blades of the Turn A+
VJockey 8:33 pm
(8:33:09 PM): "Bull headed and stubborn to the end."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:33 pm
(8:33:35 PM): "Truly?" Matthew ponders. "She may make a good recruit to the Gurren Brigade."
wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:43 PM): [Neptune] Like Sam as well, your small size works well to help you catch several more of the Ganmen off-guard, leaving deep, freezing gashes in several of the machines that leave them moving sluggishly.
(8:34:21 PM): [Rock] You dodge, the missiles exploding shortly thereafter! It's a bit turbulent for Rush, but you still stay on the dog all the same!
(8:34:41 PM): (Approved support defend. Go ahead, Yuu)
VJockey 8:34 pm
(8:34:43 PM): "Hah. Believe what you will then."
troublefirecat 8:35 pm
(8:35:06 PM): Rock: Whoa! That was close. Good boy, Rush!
Overman Zappa 8:35 pm
(8:35:16 PM): Simon's going to interject in all this madness and subtly CRAM THE LAGANN INTO THE GURREN"S HEAD. Then again, there's nothing subtle about the combining of manly souls!
Atrament Corel 8:35 pm
(8:35:54 PM): Neptune: "I vote for beating her up first, just in case. But we've got bigger problems too!"
macprysm 8:36 pm
(8:36:14 PM): Yuu's making like a football player as he charges towards the Turn A, trying to take out some of the units shooting it with a bladed shoulder charge! "All of you, OUTTA THE WAY!"+
wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:20 PM): [Sam] Fortunately you have the advantage here of Viral being totally an Ineffectual Villain, and though your blade doesn't hit... "You mis-guwaaaaah!?!" Yeah, Enkidudu's face is looking pretty scarred up right about now.
(8:37:37 PM): [Loran and Yuu] It's a bit of a challenge to keep dodging those axes while at the same time swatting aside the missiles... and the bullets are still an ever-present threat that's steadily if slowly chipping away at your barrier! But before the Turn A gets overwhelmed, X-Buster smashes through a huge dogpile of enemies to take the pressure off!
VJockey 8:37 pm
(8:37:41 PM): "I'm beginning to wonder if you're even worth my time right now you know."

wyverncakes 8:38 pm
(8:38:46 PM): [Leo] Bismuth grabs hold, but all that does is give this newcomer machine the chance to pull itself down to the ground all the faster, shoulderchecking Super Bismuth along the way!

ZebulonCrispi 8:39 pm

(8:39:26 PM): Bismuth: "Who is this pretender to the throne, Your Majesty?"
wyverncakes 8:39 pm

ZebulonCrispi 8:39 pm

ZebulonCrispi 8:40 pm
(8:40:09 PM): Leopold: "But maybe some introductions are in order!"
Overman Zappa 8:40 pm
(8:40:12 PM): *Gurren Lagan shifts a pair of drills up against it's wrist and rears a hand back. With no regard for Viral's safety, Simon slugs it right into the Enkidudu's big ugly face!+
wyverncakes 8:40 pm
(8:40:28 PM): "In contrast, Xenon and I are fully prepared to what this battle would require of us. We will defeat you and secure our own place, and we will have no need for asking others to assist us either!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:40 pm

Overman Zappa 8:41 pm
(8:41:50 PM): Simon: "He doesn't? You mean... he still thinks Bro is piloting? Either way, he's still in our way. The sooner he moves aside, the better!
wyverncakes 8:41 pm

VJockey 8:42 pm

(8:42:50 PM): "I think I can keep him off your hands."
wyverncakes 8:42 pm
(8:42:55 PM): [Simon] Viral however, has no intention of backing off in the slightest! He charges, primed to deliver a four-blade slash to Gurren Lagann, but his timing is off and the Enkidudu gets staggered with ease. "Not yet... I didn't come back... JUST TO LOSE HERE!" If only he had a G Stone. All Viral can do though is flail with all of his swords with everything he's got.
(8:44:08 PM): (React: Simon)

wyverncakes 8:45 pm

Overman Zappa 8:45 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:45 pm
(8:45:39 PM): *Matthew rocket-boosts forward, slamming into an aerial Ganmen and ripping into it with his radiator blades. Then, jump jets roaring at maximum power, he tries to use it as a battering ram, slamming it into one Ganmen after the other!+
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:40 PM): (Actually, hold on just one sec, Sam. THEN you can go ahead with it)
(8:46:30 PM): [GL team] Aaaaaand as Simon drops Viral a line, the Enkidudu just stops in disbelief. "Kamina... Kamina's..."
(8:46:49 PM): "... When... did it happen? How long have I...?"
Overman Zappa 8:47 pm
(8:47:40 PM): Simon: "Months ago. He died when we took your battleship. If that's your whole reason for fighting us, you're wasting your time!"
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:59 PM): [Matthew] You tear through another Ganmen! BUT! While you're doing all of this, you might suddenly notice a shadow falling over you. Oh... crap, that's right. It's the hugeass Teppelin! That thing has arms too, and it's moving to smash you flat like the amoeba you are compared to it!
(8:48:02 PM): (React: Matthew)
(8:48:34 PM): (Rock, Yuu, Sam)
Meraxa 8:48 pm
(8:48:38 PM): Rossiu: He's definitely wasting ours! *And with the greater mobility of Gurren Lagann afforded to him, plus its absurb abilities, Rossiu will more than try to block as he turns one set of shades into two, and tries to parry in a flurry+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:49 pm
(8:49:34 PM): Matthew looks up. "…Stravag!" With the last of his jump-jet juice he tries to light the heck out of there! "Dai-Gurren! This is Matthew, requesting fire support on the Teppelin arm!"+
wyverncakes 8:50 pm
(8:50:19 PM): [GL team] Aaaaaand Viral's taking that news all kinds of bad ways now. "No... no it's... ALL THIS TIME?!?" And the Enkidudu renews its assault on Gurren Lagann! Those parries are actually working just fine to stop all four blades though, but there's no end in sight! "ALL THIS TIME, AND EVEN A CHILD'S SURPASSED ME!?!"
(8:50:27 PM): (Okay, now Sam, you can go for it now if you'd like)
macprysm 8:50 pm
(8:50:57 PM): Yuu: "Mechwarrior Matthew! Take my hand...OF JUSTICE!" The X-Buster launches its large Rocket Punch into a crowd of mooks, flying straight and true! It's passing right by Matthew, if he can catch onto it...+
VJockey 8:52 pm
(8:52:01 PM): *Sam's going to make things a little faster for Simon and Rossiu. While Viral's preoccupied with stabbing the hell out of the Gurren Lagann, the swordsman leaps up from behind and unleashes a flurry of his own upon the Enkidudu's right set of arms at a downright blazing speed - the air practically lighting up with red!+
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:28 PM): [Matthew and Yuu] "Understood. But with something that big, I can't promise much of anything!" The Dai-Gurren unloads its firepower on Teppelin's hammer-hand, but it doesn't seem to be slowing it down or even putting a dent in it! HOWEVER... Yuu's there with the save and a convenient means of escape!
(8:52:55 PM): Ayame: "... Barely any damage though... honestly we might spend more time trying to breach through that thing's armor than just dealing with this riff-"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:52 pm
(8:52:57 PM): Matthew raises his Nova's arm towards X-Buster. Barely out of reach! Matthew grits his teeth and closes his eyes, concentrating on his Nova's newest feature.
wyverncakes 8:52 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:53 pm

VJockey 8:54 pm
(8:54:15 PM): "Something tells me though.... you didn't do much to change yourself."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:54 pm
(8:54:17 PM): One of Matthew's Nova's arm radiators shoots out, propelledrockets, controlled and tethered to the Nova by a cable! If X-Buster can grab it–!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:54 pm
(8:54:36 PM): *propelled by rockets.
troublefirecat 8:54 pm
(8:54:55 PM): Rock angles around and switches to Spark Shock, shooting a few balls of electricity at another Ganman as he speeds across the battle field. +
wyverncakes 8:54 pm
(8:54:59 PM): [Sam] The crimson blows cleave through the Enkidudu's right limbs just as they were trying to attack Gurren Lagann again, causing the machine to stagger. But still Viral presses on, thrusting forward with his remaining two swords in one last desperate attempt to draw SOME kind of meaningful reaction from that goddamn machine!
(8:55:03 PM): (React: GL team!)
(8:55:10 PM): (Also, that's just cold, Sam. Just. Cold)
macprysm 8:55 pm

Meraxa 8:55 pm

wyverncakes 8:55 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:56 pm
(8:56:37 PM): "Your Fi Ra Ju is much appreciated, Yuushashiro!" Matthew proclaims, retracting his Heat Falcon.
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:02 PM): [Rock] The shocking blast fries the Ganman, causing it to plummet to the ground below and explode! But Teppelin's growing more active than ever... and suddenly all along the giant machine's body lines begin to light up... right before a near-literal wall of cannon fire comes streaking out to turn you and Rush to paste!
(8:57:07 PM): (React: Rock)

VJockey 8:58 pm
(8:58:40 PM): [Sam has a mild grin when his feet hit the deck again. Not even blinking when a drill rushes past his head and over his shoulder.]
ZebulonCrispi 8:58 pm
(8:58:41 PM): * Super Bismith's right hand becomes huge.
(8:58:47 PM): Bismuth: "Super Bismuuuuth..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:58 pm
(8:58:59 PM): Matthew chokes. "Another…Gurren Lagann? Impossible!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:59 pm
(8:59:03 PM): * Then, it starts spinning, like a certain kind of symbolism-laden power tool.
(8:59:08 PM): Leopold: "Dai-Gurreeeennnnn..."
(8:59:13 PM): * And it's a massively powerful, oversized spinning drillfist uppercut towards Super Xenon's jaw!
(8:59:15 PM): Bismuth & Leopold: "MEGATON PUUUUUNCH!" +
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:31 PM): Ayame: "Normally I'd say it's possible, but Gurren Lagann's a composite between two machines that had nothing to do with each other!"
Atrament Corel 8:59 pm

sketchbookfiend 8:59 pm
(8:59:51 PM): Loran: "A perfect match? With the GL?" Turn A also kind of beeps. Yeah that seems legit.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:00 pm
(9:00:19 PM): A thought occurs to Matthew. "Hold a moment: does the signature match that of Gurren Lagann…or that of Lagann when combined with another machine?"
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:55 PM): [Simon] And it's over so quickly and abruptly that, well, Viral doesn't even really get the satisfaction of seeing Gurren Lagann even try to swing a punch. His own machine is impaled countless times over, and the Enkidudu just falls to its knees and slumps down. "No... it can't... end like this!"
sketchbookfiend 9:01 pm
(9:01:07 PM): Loran: "What makes you think of that, Matthew?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:02 pm
(9:02:09 PM): "It has been in front of our face the whole time." Matthew clarifies. "Lagann has the ability to increase the power levels of any war machine…and also combine and take any machine over!"
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:39 PM): [Leopold] And that massive punch is launched straight at the Super Xenon... sending it flying from the momentum behind it! You'd almost have reason to celebrate, except... "Well well... the wish was as good as I was hoping for!" Super Xenon appears completely unharmed! And its hand whips lash out and grab Super Bismuth again, swinging the machine around and slamming it into the ground!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:02 pm
(9:02:40 PM): "If this Spiral Emperor is in possession of a Lagann mech…then perhaps that is how he is controlling Teppelin!"

ZebulonCrispi 9:03 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:03 pm
(9:03:21 PM): Matthew curses."To disable this behemoth, we may have to penetrate to the core and take out said Lagann!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:03 pm
(9:03:30 PM): Leopold: "That was a direct hit with our strongest attack!"
wyverncakes 9:03 pm
(9:03:33 PM): "Xenon is far superior... and then there's my own little improvement to him!"
Overman Zappa 9:03 pm

(9:04:38 PM): *Oh right, that wall of gun fire, Loran is going to focus putting systems on the I-Field and also quickly put up his shield as he tries. This will not go well probably, as he's also flying to see if he can get in a hole that the canon fire doesn't cover+

Overman Zappa 9:05 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:05 pm

Meraxa 9:05 pm

VJockey 9:05 pm

wyverncakes 9:05 pm
(9:05:55 PM): Magdalena: "Obviously this alien culture preferred the term 'Genie', though I would not be surprised for you to think otherwise."

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:06 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:06 pm
(9:06:34 PM): Leopold: "Oh, come on! And you accused ME of fighting dirty for having allies?"
wyverncakes 9:06 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:08 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:08 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:10 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:16 pm
(9:16:31 PM): And it turns off.
sketchbookfiend 9:16 pm
(9:16:36 PM): Loran: "Geez...." The Turn A shifts it's sights towards Leopold. "What."
ZebulonCrispi 9:16 pm
(9:16:37 PM): Leopold: "Thank you!"
wyverncakes 9:16 pm
(9:16:40 PM): Ayame: "... Convenient."
(9:16:51 PM): (For the record, Magdalena can now be requested for support)
Overman Zappa 9:16 pm
(9:16:54 PM): Simon is pretty surprised that worked...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:17 pm
(9:17:05 PM): Matthew: "Ayame, Tynall, Chandra, Attenborough! Is the Dai-Gurren's Levisphere operating at full power?"
wyverncakes 9:17 pm
(9:17:19 PM): Ayame: "It is. What are you proposing?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:19 pm
(9:19:21 PM): "Those damn arms are keep us from getting to the core of the Teppelin and ending this." Matthew clarifies. "If we can get the Dai-Gurren up to a high enough altitude, we may be able to bypass the arms and attack it directly!"
macprysm 9:19 pm
(9:19:36 PM): Yuu grins, as if he already understands the plan. "I'll open you a hole in the mooks. Get Simon up to that thing's cockpit!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:19 pm
(9:19:42 PM): "From above!"
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:50 PM): Ayame: "... A viable plan. One small tweak."
(9:19:59 PM): "Magdalena!"
(9:20:13 PM): "You made your deal with Leopold, not me."
(9:20:30 PM): "If you don't want the music returning, get onto the bow of the Dai-Gurren this instant."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:20 pm
(9:20:47 PM): Matthew's eyes widen. "Of course!"
wyverncakes 9:20 pm
(9:20:48 PM): "Anyone else who wants to come along for the ride, hop on."
Overman Zappa 9:21 pm
(9:21:24 PM): Clearly the GL is getting on deck. Hell, Simon is prepared to have to drill his way in!
macprysm 9:21 pm
(9:21:25 PM): Yuu: Put that "invincible to harm" body to work! Wah-hah!"
wyverncakes 9:21 pm
(9:21:31 PM): The Dai-Gurren then lets loose another round of covering fire for you all, with the Super Xenon speedily trying to get to the ship ahead of you all. Yeah, Mags does NOT like that song.
sketchbookfiend 9:21 pm
(9:21:35 PM): Loran: "Alright, guess I'll go too." The Turn A wooshes its way over to the Dai-Gurren.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:21 pm
(9:21:36 PM): "If Xenon is truly invincible…then it can be the ultimate drill bit!" He muses.
ZebulonCrispi 9:21 pm
(9:21:51 PM): Super Bismuth climbs aboard!
VJockey 9:22 pm
(9:22:04 PM): [Sam's still standing on the GL.]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:22 pm
(9:22:06 PM): "Hah! Wherever Simon goes, I shall follow!" Matthew jump-jets onto the Dai-Gurren's prow.
Atrament Corel 9:22 pm
(9:22:38 PM): Neptune hops on as well, no sense staying out here, really.
wyverncakes 9:24 pm
(9:24:02 PM): Ayame: "Alright, it's time then. Yuu, watch yourself. Everyone else... get ready to break through!"
(9:24:36 PM): And with that, the Dai-Gurren rockets off into the air, straight at the Teppelin's head! But on the way, its massive hammer arm is coming swinging out at you all, intent on reducing you all to be pancakes!
frifreeman2 has entered the room. 9:24 pm
Meraxa 9:24 pm

macprysm 9:25 pm
(9:25:03 PM): Yuu: Roger. I'll cover this front for when the chalice arrives. You guys, I'm counting on you....FINALLLLLLLLL...." The X-Buster charges to full power, bringing all its blasters onlines to cover the charge. "CROSSSSSSSS!"+
wyverncakes 9:25 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:25 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:25 pm
(9:25:58 PM): Bismuth: "Pierce through the enemy without fear, Xenon!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:26 pm
(9:26:19 PM): *He levels his Nova's weapon pods! "DAI-GURREN…DOUBLE ALPHA STRIKKKEEEEE!"+
Meraxa 9:26 pm
(9:26:23 PM): Rossiu: Simon! Let's make a drill! *With the charge ordered, Gurren Lagann forms for itself a sizable drill, ready to work its way through straight to the target when ready!+
Overman Zappa 9:27 pm
(9:27:14 PM): *A drill forms over GL'sfist. Then bumps up in size. Then bumps up again! AND AGAIN! Slowly the drill starts to turn, but it only gets faster by the second!+
Atrament Corel 9:27 pm
(9:27:26 PM): *And the sword/beam cannon is raised again, with Neptune bracing herself as it forms a ball of energy for a good bit. And then...it fires!+
ZebulonCrispi 9:27 pm
(9:27:34 PM): * Super Bismuth forms a drill of its own, getting into the spirit of things! WHile it's not as impressive as Gurren Lagann's drill, the alien robot is doing its part to pierce through! +
troublefirecat 9:27 pm
(9:27:36 PM): Rock chips in with some Magnet Missles for some added explosive power. +
VJockey 9:28 pm
(9:28:24 PM): *Sam's readied his sword for a quickdraw - pumping a large amount of power into the blade for a truly massive slash - similar to what he had done a looong while back at Innsmouth.+
sketchbookfiend 9:28 pm
(9:28:59 PM): *The Turn A opens it's abdomen to fire out a wide mega particle beam across the field+
wyverncakes 9:31 pm
(9:31:08 PM): [Everyone] And in one metal-crunching moment, the Super Xenon-reinforced bow of the Dai-Gurren smashes into the Teppelin's fist... the rest of you all blowing a massive gaping hole through it straight to Teppelin's head! You're seemingly not going anywhere anytime soon... but...
(9:31:13 PM): Ayame: "Good enough!"
(9:31:44 PM): Ayame: "All of you guys, it's a clear a shot as we're going to get!"
(9:32:20 PM): And suddenly the bow of the Dai-Gurren's launched out, all of you hurtling out of the Teppelin's fist and straight towards its head!
Meraxa 9:32 pm
(9:32:39 PM): Rossiu: ...W-w-when was this a featuuuuuuuuure?!
VJockey 9:32 pm
(9:32:42 PM): "Hah! Now this is a good way to travel!"
wyverncakes 9:32 pm
(9:32:52 PM): Ayame: "We'll see you when you get back. But the Brigade can't stand to let Yuu have all the fun."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:33 pm
(9:33:07 PM): "WE UNCOVERED THE SOFTWARE COMMANDS A FEW WEEKS AGOOOO!" Matthew replies.
wyverncakes 9:33 pm
(9:33:17 PM): All of you, including the Super Xenon, go hurtling off, smashing through...
(9:33:49 PM): ... And almost immediately, the entire vibe of everything changes drastically. Instead of the pitched battlefield with relatively unremarkable mooks...
(9:34:11 PM): You all find yourself in landing/crashing into an expansive throne room.
Atrament Corel 9:34 pm
(9:34:17 PM): Nepgear: "What the goodness?!!"
wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:31 PM): And just who's sitting on the throne, you might ask?
(9:34:47 PM): This guy
Meraxa 9:34 pm
(9:34:50 PM): Rossiu: ...I think its him.
sketchbookfiend 9:35 pm
(9:35:02 PM): The Turn A sure does tumble and crash onto it's ass a lot, but it's enough for Loran to spot the thrown and the guy.
ZebulonCrispi 9:35 pm
(9:35:09 PM): Bismuth: "Incredible... even in the greatest gladiatorial duels of my homeland, I've never felt such fighting spirit!"
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:11 PM): Slouched over, looking rather unimpressed by all of this, and surrounded by a slew of attractive women.
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:24 PM): Lordgenome: "So..."
Atrament Corel 9:35 pm
(9:35:51 PM): Neptune lands on her face, but somehow, she's fine.
wyverncakes 9:36 pm
(9:36:07 PM): "I finally meet the apes of this world, along with the ones who escaped from their caves in my own."
VJockey 9:36 pm
(9:36:36 PM): "Well that's hardly polite when you're an ape yourself isn't it?"
sketchbookfiend 9:36 pm
(9:36:45 PM): Loran: "An ape!?"
Atrament Corel 9:36 pm
(9:36:47 PM): Neptune: "It takes one to know one!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:36 pm
(9:36:47 PM): Matthew toggles his jump-jets to land gently. "That man…he is the Spiral Emperor, it seems."
wyverncakes 9:36 pm
(9:36:56 PM): Lordgenome seems completely unphased as he stands up.
Overman Zappa 9:37 pm
(9:37:00 PM): Simon: "Are you the one leading the Beastmen?
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:09 PM): "...Oh he would be..."
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:10 PM): "I am."
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:18 PM): "Sitting on a throne while his soldiers die"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:37 pm
(9:37:25 PM): "And you came…from another world?" Matthew asks.
Overman Zappa 9:37 pm
(9:37:32 PM): Simon: "Either call them off. Or we'll MAKE you call them off."
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:32 PM): "I am many things... including the guardian of another world's humanity. Their world."
(9:37:39 PM): He gestures towards Simon and Rossiu.
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:40 PM): "Hah!"
sketchbookfiend 9:37 pm
(9:37:59 PM): Loran: "You're a...wait you must be joking!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:38 pm
(9:38:14 PM): Leopold: "Ah, if I may interject..."
(9:38:24 PM): Leopold: "If you're a guardian of humanity, then why don't we join forces?"
Overman Zappa 9:38 pm
(9:38:28 PM): That statement doesn't even make sense to Simon!
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:37 PM): Lordgenome: "I gave them orders to surrender if by some miracle you would succeed in striking me down. But nevertheless..." He reached up, throwing aside his cloak.
ZebulonCrispi 9:38 pm
(9:38:39 PM): Leopold: "Surely there's a way to protect people that doesn't involve all this senseless bloodshed."
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:41 PM): And holy crap this guy is BUFF.
VJockey 9:38 pm
(9:38:48 PM): "Calling yourself a guardian while killing those that can't fight, sending others to die in your stead."
(9:39:00 PM): "I've made it my life's work killing people like you."
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:07 PM): "... You have begun reaching too far, spreading a curse to this universe as well."
sketchbookfiend 9:39 pm
(9:39:20 PM): Loran: "...What are you talking about?"
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:29 PM): "Nothing."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:39 pm
(9:39:46 PM): "Curse? Guardian of humanity? Stop speaking in riddles!" Matthew blurts out.
ZebulonCrispi 9:39 pm
(9:39:50 PM): Leopold: "No, wait! We're very open-minded, you can talk to us about it!"
Overman Zappa 9:39 pm
(9:39:57 PM): Simon: "I'll reach as far as I need to if it prevents you from killing more people! I'll reach past the heavens! Past space!"
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:57 PM): And at that, Lordgenome's throne begins to open up... the countless women around him suddenly gasping as black and red cloths wrap them up into drills!
(9:40:25 PM): Lordgenome: "And how many universes will you doom in the process?"
(9:40:34 PM): "But it ends here."
Overman Zappa 9:40 pm
(9:40:46 PM): Simon: "I'm not dooming anything! Except for you!"
wyverncakes 9:40 pm
(9:40:54 PM): And then, Lordgenome and his drillgirls begin to descend! Whut... are they trying to escape?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:41 pm
(9:41:28 PM): "Simon!" Matthew exclaims. "If he possesses a Lagann, then–!"
Meraxa 9:41 pm
(9:41:43 PM): Rossiu: You're not getting... away...? *Rossiu is... disturbed for some reason*
Overman Zappa 9:42 pm
(9:42:00 PM): Gurren Lagann flexes, his chest puffing out, forearms puffing out, looking even more swoll than usual, both faces gnashing their teeth! "COWARD!"
VJockey 9:42 pm
(9:42:06 PM): *Sam rushes forward in a blur of motion, hand snapping to his sword and pulling the trigger as he SWINGS to take Genome's head off his neck!!+
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:23 PM): And for Genome...
Atrament Corel 9:42 pm
(9:42:52 PM): Neptune: "Sam! Wait!"
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:58 PM): "Rashness... this universe never learned its place."
(9:43:12 PM): He says that with absolute calm even with Sam coming in straight at him...
(9:43:21 PM): ... And then catches the Muramasa in one hand!
VJockey 9:43 pm
(9:43:28 PM): "!!!"
(9:43:30 PM): "What-"
Overman Zappa 9:43 pm
(9:43:42 PM): "Rash? Is it rash to stand up for people who can't do so for themselves? Against people wh-" WAT?
sketchbookfiend 9:43 pm
(9:43:42 PM): Loran: "WHOAH!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:43 pm
(9:43:43 PM): Matthew: "He…blocked it!"
wyverncakes 9:43 pm
(9:43:46 PM): "What it means to have that feeling. That sense of invincibility. The pain that follows afterwards."
(9:43:56 PM): And then Lordgenome swings his other fist straight into Sam's gut.
(9:44:32 PM): The impact's loud enough for you all to hear... and you can see as Sam's exosuit begins to crack all over the place. And then... parts of it just-plain EXPLODE, Sam sent hurling into a wall!
(9:44:36 PM): (Sam: downed)
Overman Zappa 9:44 pm
(9:44:43 PM): "SAM!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:44 pm
(9:44:48 PM): Bismuth: "Spiral Emperor..."
(9:44:58 PM): Bismuth: "...it is a great honor to face one such as you in battle."
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:00 PM): "It never changes. In this world or any other."
sketchbookfiend 9:45 pm
(9:45:02 PM): Loran: "Wha- what kind of human has this power!?"
Atrament Corel 9:45 pm
(9:45:08 PM): Neptune, for once, is just speechless.
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:14 PM): And finally, you see something rise up from the ground.
(9:45:19 PM): No... three somethings.
VJockey 9:45 pm
(9:45:28 PM): [Sam's just going to be off to the side, bleeding as he's slumped unconcious against a wall.]
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:29 PM): Two of them a grayed-out version of the lead machine.
(9:45:40 PM): (Lazengann: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091220142314/gurennlagann/images/thumb/f/f0/Lazengann.gif/500px-Lazengann.gif)

(9:45:56 PM): "A man with the same source of power as Simon." Matthew says grimely, answering Loran.
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:01 PM): Several of the drills stab into the gray ones, the remaining ones and Lordgenome himself entering the cockpit of the last.
Overman Zappa 9:46 pm
(9:46:32 PM): "You... have one too. Then it'll be a fair fight!" All his 'rawr' is getting to his head.
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:34 PM): "There was once a young man, who thought he had the power to change the world... for the better, he thought."

Meraxa 9:49 pm
(9:49:29 PM): Rossiu: Simon, if we take out the lead machine...!
Atrament Corel 9:49 pm
(9:49:33 PM): Meanwhile, Neptune looks at her weapon, which reverts back to her sister's regular form. "Um, Nepgear, can you look after Sam for me?"
Overman Zappa 9:50 pm
(9:50:05 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MuDZLlCiPk
*Simon goes straight for the big guns as he draws TWO pairs of shade boomerangs from his chest. "You're talking about all this power and idealism, but you're just using it to bully people! I'm not going to let you bully this planet or mine!" And THROW! Double Gurren-Shade BOOMERANG!+
Atrament Corel 9:50 pm
(9:50:19 PM): Nepgear: "I don't know how much I can do, but sure. Be careful, sister, everyone."
Overman Zappa 9:50 pm

Atrament Corel 9:50 pm
(9:50:44 PM): And the younger Nep goes off to help Sam.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:51 pm
(9:51:27 PM): *Matthew charges at the left Lazenngan Doll, weapons leveled. "Nova Burst!" Five lasers lash out at it's chest.+
wyverncakes 9:51 pm
(9:51:31 PM): [Simon] And the lead Lazengann merely has its tail swing up, smacking away one of the pairs of shaderangs! The other ones stab into the machine's arm and leg... but before Simon can press the advantage any further...
(9:51:38 PM): Viral: "LORDGENOME!"
(9:51:59 PM): ... A single rock, thrown from a lone, insignificant figure off to the side, strikes Gurren Lagann.
(9:52:15 PM): Lordgenome: "... Viral... even now..."
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:43 PM): "I did not give you your new body for the purpose of battle. The apes have long since surpassed you, either with the Spiral or other ways. No."
(9:53:27 PM): And suddenly, a spiked tendril shoots up into the roof of Teppelin, causing rubble to fall down and bury part of Viral's body.
Overman Zappa 9:53 pm
(9:53:54 PM): "You're even bullying your own soldiers! HOW CAN YOU!?"
wyverncakes 9:54 pm
(9:54:06 PM): Lordgenome: "Your purpose is to live. To live for eternity, to ensure that this and any other universe we encounter will know of the victory of the Spiral King."
(9:54:20 PM): (Rock, Loran_
Meraxa 9:54 pm
(9:54:38 PM): Rossiu: Well, hate to rain on your parade, but there'll be no victory!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:54 pm
(9:54:59 PM): "To treat your own loyal subject so–" Matthew snarls. "It is nothing but dishonorable! You disgrace yourself, Lord Genome!"
wyverncakes 9:55 pm
(9:55:02 PM): Lordgenome: "Viral's zeal far exceeds his ability. If I must, then I will force his hand."
(9:55:29 PM): [Matthew] And the Doll springs into the air, the lasers hitting nothing but air before its tail swings up to cleave through the Nova!
(9:55:32 PM): (React: Matthew)
sketchbookfiend 9:55 pm
(9:55:59 PM): Loran: "...You...you call yourself a guardian and a leader!?"
(9:56:31 PM): *The Turn A opens it's chest revealing a slew of loaded large missiles, which then fire out towards the Lazenganns+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:57 pm
(9:57:54 PM): *Matthew Dom-surfs to the side, and tries to cleave through the tail with his own radiator blades. "Damn you…NOVA CUTTER!"+
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 9:58 pm
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:28 PM): [Loran] And all of those missiles are going to be swatted away one after another by the Lazengann's tail. He's already explained his motives and stuff, no reason to keep repeating himself.
troublefirecat 9:59 pm
(9:59:36 PM): Rock decides to leave LordGenome to Simon and the others and helps Matthew against the Lazengann doll with a volley of more Magnet Missles +
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:55 PM): [Loran cont.] BUT, there's also that other fake Lazengann to worry about, which is lunging at you from on all fours, and swinging its fist to smash apart the Turn A!
(9:59:59 PM): (React: Loran)
sketchbookfiend 10:00 pm
(10:00:56 PM): *The Turn A shifts its arm and using the rest of the shield as an impromptu knuckle to swing his own blow to meet the fist+
wyverncakes 10:02 pm
(10:02:08 PM): [Rock and Matthew] The mix of missiles and the heat cutter hammer the machine, succeeding in tearing through the fake machine's tail. But before you can even celebrate landing the damage, several more drill-like tentacles shoot out, tearing those radiator blades out of the Nova!
(10:02:19 PM): (Leo, Neptune)
ZebulonCrispi 10:03 pm
(10:03:03 PM): Leopold: "Let's see you fight without your source of power!"
(10:03:06 PM): * Super Bismuth takes aim at the lead Lazengann, and lays seige to it with a rapid-fire stream of Negaforce Rays! +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:03 pm
(10:03:47 PM): Matthew: "Gah!!!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:05 pm
(10:05:37 PM): Alarms blare, indicating that his Nova's wrist radiators, as well as four lasers, are knocked out. "Attacking my weapons like that–he certainly is a cunning warrior."
Atrament Corel 10:05 pm
(10:05:52 PM): *Neptune, now left with her regular sword since her sister's gone off to tend to Sam's injuries - sprints towards the fake Lazengann that just attacked Loran! "Over here!"
wyverncakes 10:06 pm
(10:06:09 PM): [Leopold] And the Negaforce Rays bath Lordgenome's Lazengann, but the machine does not seem to be failing as it walks towards Super Bismuth! "A power that can impede power... and even lesser Spiral machines. Its applications could have been..." But he's not even going to finish that sentence. Instead, Lazengann rockets towards Super Bismuth, pounding a fist into the machine's face before rearing up for a roundhouse kick!
(10:06:12 PM): (React: Leopold)
Atrament Corel 10:06 pm
(10:06:18 PM): *She then summons a regular handgun and begins to fire lightning rounds at it!+
ZebulonCrispi 10:06 pm
(10:06:54 PM): * Caught off guard by the speed of the attack, Super Bismuth goes full defense, transforming one hand into a kite shield to try and block the kick! +

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:07 pm
(10:07:41 PM): (…I see!)
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:48 PM): [Neptune] The third Lazengann finds itself on the defensive for a few moments as its struck by the electrical blasts... but in response it's charging towards you, loosing more tentacles!
(10:07:51 PM): (React: Neptune)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:08 pm

Atrament Corel 10:08 pm
(10:08:59 PM): (I got it)
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:19 PM): [Loran] Unfortunately there's not much of your shield left, and the Lazengann smashes through it. Both your fists get smashed up a bit, but before things can continue, there's Neptune's aforementioned attack.
sketchbookfiend 10:10 pm
(10:10:57 PM): Loran: "Ggh, damn it."
Atrament Corel 10:11 pm
(10:11:37 PM): Neptune: *And as soon as the shadow covering her eyes is gone, one can actually see that Neptune is not saddened by what happened to Sam, but just the opposite. She is actually pretty pissed! "Pay close attention..." Her tiny frame is engulfed by purple energy as she suddenly transforms- letting loose a burst of energy to repel those tentacles. On top of that, she unleashes an energy wave with a swing of her sword too!+
wyverncakes 10:11 pm
(10:11:50 PM): [Leopold] And as the kick comes swinging in, it's Super Xenon with the save! The machine plans one hand on the ground to become a bracing system, the other a shield to join your own! "I will not require my father to see one of his sons buried!" The two shields, one completely indestructible, takes the edge off... but the ground where Super Xenon braced itself breaks after a moment and the machine goes hurtling away!
(10:12:05 PM): It might be impossible to harm, but it's not impossible to move, unfortunately.
(10:12:11 PM): (GL team, Matthew)
ZebulonCrispi 10:12 pm
(10:12:14 PM): Leopold: "Oh! Thank you!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:12 pm
(10:12:27 PM): Leopold: (At least she isn't really trying to kill me...)
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:52 PM): Magdalena: "I will not be a Queen whose ascendency was stained by the presence of blood!"
(10:13:49 PM): [Neptune] The release of a goddes's power wasn't quite what the fake Lazengann was prepared for though, and the tentacles are blown away... and doubling up on that, the energy wave hurtles out, cleaving off one of the fake machine's arms!
ZebulonCrispi 10:13 pm
(10:13:55 PM): Leopold: "Still, the Negaforce Rays didn't have any effect..."
(10:14:23 PM): Bismuth: "This isn't an enemy whose flaming soul can be extinguished, Your Majesty."
Meraxa 10:15 pm
(10:15:46 PM): Rossiu: Simon, whilst we have the chance! Giga... *Time to prep another giant drill...*
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:16 pm
(10:16:05 PM): Matthew narrows his eyes, focussing his attention at the Lazengann Doll. "Long range spear tendrils, like Texotic's unit." He checks his heat level. "I do not have to get close to harm him…but I have to make an opening." He chuckles. "This should be quite the challenge."
Overman Zappa 10:16 pm
(10:16:14 PM): Simon watches as his friends aretossed aside, which only seerves to upset him further. "DRILL!"
Meraxa 10:18 pm
(10:18:12 PM): Rossiu: BREAKEEEEEEEEEEER! *And with a giant drill that dwarves the very machine that holds it, Gurren Lagann rockets towards the enemy, Lordgenome!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:18 pm
(10:18:18 PM): *Matthew bops and weaves around the throne room, peppering the tail-less Lazen-Doll with a volley of lasers, building up his heat level to it's limits. "Come now, damn doll! Strike With All Your Strength!"+
(10:18:23 PM): *bobs
wyverncakes 10:19 pm
(10:19:23 PM): [GL team] And as Gurren Lagann moves towards the Lazengann, the machine does... nothing! Instead, it just lets the drill stab through into the machine's abdomen... and then suddenly it just stops!
Meraxa 10:19 pm
(10:19:42 PM): Rossiu: ...Eh?!
Overman Zappa 10:19 pm
(10:19:59 PM): Simon: W'ath?
(10:20:03 PM): *What
wyverncakes 10:20 pm
(10:20:21 PM): The abdomen's armor breaks off... and you suddenly see that just like other Ganmen, the Lazengann has a chestface, with your attack exposing a massive mouth full of jagged teeth that just caught your drill... and then broke it in one powerful chomp!
(10:20:38 PM): Lordgenome: "And now... you will see what true Spiral Power is capable of."
(10:21:10 PM): Gurren Lagann is bitchslapped hard and kicked into the air, and then countless tentacles shoot out, running through the red machine to absolutely perforate it!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:21 pm
(10:21:12 PM): Matthew blanches. "S-Simon! Rossiu!"
sketchbookfiend 10:21 pm
(10:21:23 PM): Loran: "Ah! GUYS!"
wyverncakes 10:21 pm
(10:21:24 PM): And then... the Lazengann just recalls its tentacles and walks away. Like a bause.
Meraxa 10:21 pm
(10:21:25 PM): Rossiu: ACK!
Overman Zappa 10:21 pm
(10:21:31 PM): "AAAAAHHH!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:21 pm
(10:21:32 PM): "TROTHKIN!!!!!!"
Atrament Corel 10:22 pm
(10:22:12 PM): Purple Heart: "No...!"
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:21 PM): [Matthew] Tail-less though it may be, the tail-less Lazengann begins to spring between the walls to avoid the bulk of your lasers, though a few leave searing gashes in its body. But now it's swinging around to smash your machine in with an axe kick!
(10:22:27 PM): (React: Matthew)
(10:22:31 PM): (Loran, Rock)
Overman Zappa 10:22 pm
(10:22:46 PM): Simon pulls on the controls, trying to make the wrecked Gurren Lagan stand. All he manages is to seperate the two from one another.
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:44 PM): Lordgenome: "... So your machine can still find the power to move."
(10:23:58 PM): "A wasted effort."
Overman Zappa 10:24 pm
(10:24:20 PM): Simon: "I'm not going to... just... let you... Win like this. I'm not going to let these people down...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:25 pm
(10:25:40 PM): *Matthew, grinding his teeth, turns from Simon's struggle to win his own. He sees the Lazen-Doll zoom right toward him. "Now!" He exclaims. The Nova, at critical heat levels, starts flaking off beam coating particles, creating heat afterimages! Matthew spins his Nova out of the way, leaving the Lazen-Doll to smash in the cockpit of a mirage! Then he focuses with all of his mind! (cont.)
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:49 PM): (Neptune and Leopold can also move)
sketchbookfiend 10:26 pm
(10:26:19 PM): *The Turn A throws the remains of it's shield to the ground and pulls its beam sabers back out. The least he can do is swing towards the fake Lazengann's abdomen+
ZebulonCrispi 10:26 pm
(10:26:30 PM): Okay, take some pressure off of the main one. Time for another Super Move!
(10:26:44 PM): Leopold & Bismuth: "Super Bismuth..."
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:53 PM): [Matthew] The Lazengann swings and whiffs... but it's already countering the best way it knows how: make more tentacles shoot out every which way!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:26 pm
(10:26:57 PM): "GO, HEAT FALCONS!" His Nova's back radiators launch outward with a burst of plasma, guided by Quasi-Psycommu tether, and arc around to stab intothe Lazen-doll's face!+
ZebulonCrispi 10:26 pm
(10:26:57 PM): * Both of Super Bismuth's hands get huge... and start glowing!
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:59 PM): (React/cont: Matthew)
ZebulonCrispi 10:27 pm
(10:27:07 PM): Leopold & Bismuth: "MAGNETON FIST!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:27 pm
(10:27:44 PM): * Magnetic waves that are somehow focused in a specific direction shoot from its hands, pulling one of the Fake Lazengans into Super Bismuth's giant grasp! If it succeeds, it'll be open for someone else to attack! +
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:51 PM): (Want to redo your action, Matthew?)
Atrament Corel 10:29 pm
(10:29:34 PM): (Enemy count is still the same?)
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:42 PM): (About to be one less)
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:27 PM): [Leopold and Loran] The magnetic waves do latch onto the fake Lazenganns, wrenching it over to Super Bismuth... and also giving Loran the chance he needs to stab into the machine's head. There's not much it can do in terms of defense or dodging, just taking the beam saber head on... which proves enough to disable the machine!
ZebulonCrispi 10:30 pm
(10:30:46 PM): Leopold: "Nice shot!"
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:51 PM): (Also, to update Matthew's action since it got some addendum)
(10:31:41 PM): [Matthew] The heat falcons shoot out, stabbing into the machine's face, but at the same time the Nova's ALSO run through by numerous tentacles as well, with alarms going all manner of crazy!
Atrament Corel 10:31 pm
(10:31:54 PM): *Yeah, now's not the time to get discouraged. Purple Heart/Neptune is still targeting one of the fake Lazengann (whichever remains), but surprisingly, she dismisses her own sword!
(10:32:16 PM): Purple Heart: "Now! Noire!"
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:33 PM): (Also, while all this is going on, GL team can act again)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:34 pm
(10:34:18 PM): "Aggghh!" Sparks are going off in his machine's cockpit, and both arms, legs, and chests are highlighted in the red on his HUD. "Just one more blow–" He gasps.
Atrament Corel 10:35 pm
(10:35:13 PM): *She holds out her right hand, and a large sword appears! Holding it with both hands, she charges at the Lazen-doll and vanishes, teleporting as she strikes it from multiple angles almost simultaneously!+ "Uuuoooohhhh!!! Neptune...BREAK!"
(10:35:34 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bztbkDX724k
wyverncakes 10:37 pm
(10:37:16 PM): [Purple Heart] Well... Matthew'd been saying there needed to be one more good hit. And Neptune provided it several times over, completely tearing apart the Lazengan and also freeing Matthew as well! It's just Lordgenome and the original Lazengann now!
ZebulonCrispi 10:38 pm
(10:38:09 PM): Bismuth: "No more distractions now!"
Atrament Corel 10:38 pm
(10:38:24 PM): And Purple Heart lands with the explosion in the background. In this pose.
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:38 PM): (Just a quick heads up, just the real Lazengann is left, Rock)
troublefirecat 10:38 pm
(10:38:51 PM): (right. XD; )
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:40 pm
(10:40:13 PM): Matthew retracts his Heat Falcons, which socket back into his Nova's shoulders. Then his mech sparks, and falls to one knee. "Stravag…my thanks for the save, Neptune!"
Atrament Corel 10:42 pm
(10:42:03 PM): Purple Heart: "Don't mention it..." Then, she notes the state of the Nova. "...Can you continue?"
Overman Zappa 10:43 pm
(10:43:26 PM): *SImon picks up the Lagan to it's feet, and has it hobble over to Lordgenome... And even on it's own, it picks up sppeed, flips, and forms a drill at it's feet!+ "LAGAN! IMPACT!"
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:48 PM): Lordgenome: "And as I said before..."
(10:45:04 PM): [Simon] And Lazengann's just going to swat the Lagann away with ease! "A waste!"
(10:45:07 PM): (GL team continue)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:45 pm
(10:45:36 PM): "As long as HE keeps on fighting, no matter how great a force is against him–" Matthew declares, gazing at Simon intently. "–my pride, my honr demands I do the same!"
Meraxa 10:46 pm
(10:46:40 PM): Rossiu: Shut it! *And several dozens of great big red mecha is gonna come slamming down at Lordgenome, in a move that would make any wrestler proud+
macprysm has left the room. 10:47 pm
Overman Zappa 10:49 pm
(10:49:41 PM): *Simon picks the Lagan back up and goes at it again! Leaving the top open, he turns the Lagan over with drills for feet again! Once more he'll try to ram himself into Lordgenome's Lagann!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:50 pm
(10:50:26 PM): "Simon!" Matthew shouts out. "You told me that there was no force you could not push past against…no wall that you cannot drill through! If the source of that power of yours is the belief of others…then I…then we shall believe in you with all our strength!"
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:02 PM): [GL team combined!] And Gurren grapples with the Lazengann! For all of like, two seconds though. "You're an obstacle." The Lazengann suddenly powers through that hold, smashing the Gurren aside as it moves to attack the Lagann once more...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:51 pm
(10:51:03 PM): He tries to pick his Nova up. "So win!" He hollers!
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:17 PM): ... But the only problem is, it's just a few moments too slow.
(10:51:26 PM): Lordgenome: "You...!"
(10:52:17 PM): And the Lagann IMPALES the Lazengann, releasing a tremendous aura of spiral energy! You can all see as the Lazengann begins to be torn away by the power, more and more!
wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(10:52:30 PM): Lordgenome: "... What I fool I was..."
(10:52:58 PM): The bad news though... is during all of this you can see Lordgenome just casually emerge from the Lazengann, and move towards the small Lagann!
Overman Zappa 10:53 pm
(10:53:02 PM): "You were! I told you... I won't let you... hold... us... DOWN!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:53 pm
(10:53:07 PM): Bismuth: "Such a clash of unyielding souls! Astounding!"
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:09 PM): "No..."
Meraxa 10:53 pm
(10:53:19 PM): Rossiu: SIMON!
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:56 PM): "I should have never relied..." And with one devestating punch, Lordgenome sends the Lagann crashing into the ground HARD even as the Lazengann explodes behind him. "-On a Ganman!"
troublefirecat 10:53 pm
(10:53:57 PM): Rock flies over near Neptune and Matthew, watching with awe, and feeling a bit like this was more Simon's show than theirs though, he was still ready to keep fighting if they needed too.
sketchbookfiend 10:54 pm
(10:54:15 PM): Loran: "This is...ridiculous."
Atrament Corel 10:54 pm
(10:54:24 PM): Purple Heart is shocked. "This man...!"
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:32 PM): Lordgenome is still standing strong, a strange aura of red emenating from his bald head.
ZebulonCrispi 10:54 pm
(10:54:36 PM): Bismuth cannot allow himself to interfere with this incredible duel.
(10:54:48 PM): This is a battle of honor.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:54 pm
(10:54:59 PM): Matthew bolts upward in his cockpit. "WHAT!?!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:11 PM): It's not really much of a battle however, not any more.
Overman Zappa 10:55 pm
(10:55:13 PM): Simon crawls out of the wreckage that is the Lagan and picks himself up to his feet slowly.
sketchbookfiend 10:55 pm
(10:55:27 PM): Loran: "Simon!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:30 PM): Not as he grabs Simon by his jacket and pulls him up.
(10:55:43 PM): Lordgenome: "Ha... ha haaaaaaaa!"
troublefirecat 10:55 pm
(10:55:49 PM): Rock: Simon!
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:07 PM): Lordgenome: "It was not enough, was it? Your Spiral has run dry!"
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:47 PM): "... All of you, I have not had so much fun in a long time! And now, I have the thing I came here for more than anything else!"
Overman Zappa 10:57 pm
(10:57:08 PM): Simon: "You... wish." Simon clutches his fist... there's a string hanging from those tight fingers.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:57 pm
(10:57:17 PM): Matthew curses, unstrapping himself from his cockpit, popping the hatch on his crippled mech, hoping he can get to Simon in time!
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:20 PM): Lordgenome: "What?"
Overman Zappa 10:57 pm
(10:57:40 PM): *Simon punches Lordgenome in his damn chest. But in his hand... is the Core Drill.!+|
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:53 PM): Lordgenome: "A Core Drill?!?"
troublefirecat 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): Rock also starts to jet over, but stops when he sees what's happening.
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:12 PM): Yeah, the Spiral King is caught by surprise, and also come down with a sudden case of Metal Gear Solid Dialogue syndrome.
Overman Zappa 10:58 pm
(10:58:20 PM): CORE DRILL! SWITCH ON! *Simon turns it*
sketchbookfiend 10:58 pm
(10:58:34 PM): The Turn A starts to move but stops abruptly.
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:09 PM): And that was all that was needed, as suddenly an immense wave of energy was released... one blowing a massive hole in Teppelin's walls!
(10:59:17 PM): ... Along with one in Lordgenome's body for that matter.
Meraxa 10:59 pm
(10:59:32 PM): Rossiu: ...H-He did it...!
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:44 PM): Lordgenome is still standing, but... something feels different as he looks at you all.
ZebulonCrispi 10:59 pm
(10:59:50 PM): Bismuth: "That's how it's done...!"
sketchbookfiend 11:00 pm
(11:00:01 PM): Loran: "Amazing, Simon!"
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:23 PM): Lordgenome: "... His Spiral Poweer... surpassing mine. Ha... hehahahahaha..."
(11:00:40 PM): "In time you'll regret that, see it as the curse it is."
(11:00:52 PM): The man closes his eyes.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:00 pm
(11:00:56 PM): Matthew: "…Simon. You truly are the greatest of Diggers."
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:03 PM): "As said before, my armies will cease."
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:10 PM): "But I leave you with this:
Overman Zappa 11:01 pm
(11:01:18 PM): "I told you... over and over... I won't... lose anyone else to you..." He's still on about this curse? What kind of curse lets him stand up to any foe with such allies?
ZebulonCrispi has left the room. 11:01 pm
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:32 PM): "The inhabitants of this world have been put in danger because of you."
(11:02:07 PM): "Roughly one month ago, a force came to this world from the future. And in doing so, they have damaged this universe's boundaries even further."
Overman Zappa 11:02 pm
(11:02:10 PM): "Then we'll fight them off too... and protect them. Just like today."
ZebulonCrispi has entered the room. 11:02 pm
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:42 PM): "In our universe, if a land were to be overrun by but a million apes... it would be the prelude to tragedy."
sketchbookfiend 11:02 pm
(11:02:57 PM): Loran: "....just a million?"
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:03 PM): "In coming here, you and the others introduced the Spiral and its curse to this world."
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:39 PM): "This world, has far more than a million, and my efforts to reduce the number to eliminate the threat of the curse were thwarted because of you."
troublefirecat 11:03 pm
(11:03:58 PM): Rock: What's that supposed to mean?
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:15 PM): Loran: "Are you crazy, no curse is worth killing so many people!!"
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:16 PM): "It is only a matter of time until the curse strikes this world too, and the moon becomes the instrument of tragedy."
(11:04:24 PM): He chuckles at that last bit Loran.
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:25 PM): Loran:"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:04 pm
(11:04:36 PM): Leopold: "Oh, dear."
Meraxa 11:04 pm
(11:04:40 PM): Rossiu: ...He means that he was a guardian... against something worse.
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:42 PM): Loran: "What- the moon!?"
troublefirecat 11:04 pm
(11:04:49 PM): Rock: What?!
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:55 PM): "... It may be possible to save this world though... but only if you take every trace of the Spiral away from here."
Overman Zappa 11:05 pm
(11:05:01 PM): Simon: "Desperate... lies. We have friends from the Moon!"
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:09 PM): "You. The others. The Ganmen..."
Overman Zappa 11:05 pm
(11:05:18 PM): His eyes go wide, yo.
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:29 PM): "The weakened boundaries will allow Teppelin to transport them all home."
sketchbookfiend 11:05 pm
(11:05:42 PM): Loran: "...that's."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:05 pm
(11:05:57 PM): Matthew inhales sharply. "The moon…a messenger of death? And the power of Spiral is what will provoke it?"
wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:05 PM): "Either kill until but a million remain... or leave. Those are your choices if you wish to avert the curse from striking here."
(11:06:17 PM): And at Matthew's question, Lordgenome looks up.
(11:06:20 PM): Up into the sky.
(11:06:58 PM): And then he shakes his head just once. "This moon will not. But another... another will."
sketchbookfiend 11:07 pm
(11:07:11 PM): Loran: "Just what the hell...is the Spiral!?"
sketchbookfiend 11:07 pm
(11:07:44 PM): Jesus way to give Loran a heart attack...he could not take another fake moon though.
Overman Zappa 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): Simon grits his teeth. "Nnnng... Fine. It's not... not what I want to do.. but wha I have to.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): Lordgenome: "The Spiral is nothing more than false hope."
(11:08:17 PM): Lordgenome: "The curse is now yours to address, however you choose to do so... farewell."
(11:08:33 PM): And with that, Lordgenome tips his body back slightly, and falls from the height of Teppelin.
(11:08:55 PM): A pained scream can be heard off to the side, courtesy of poor, abused Viral. Gotta feel sorry for him, all things considered.
ZebulonCrispi 11:09 pm
(11:09:10 PM): Leopold: "In the end, we couldn't come to a peaceful solution... have I failed as a negotiator?"
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:17 PM): But you've all been left with some serious food for thought, about the Spiral and the curse that comes with it.
(11:09:23 PM): And Leopold!
(11:09:27 PM): To answer your question...
Atrament Corel 11:09 pm
(11:09:28 PM): Purple Heart: "Sometimes this is the only solution."
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:53 PM): Magdalena: "In this case, perhaps not... There is still an army outside to address. However, Leopold!"
(11:09:58 PM): "YOU HAVE STILL FAILED!"
(11:10:09 PM): At that, the woman suddenly lets out a victorious laugh.
ZebulonCrispi 11:10 pm
(11:10:15 PM): Leopold: "What?!"
sketchbookfiend 11:10 pm
(11:10:32 PM): Loran turns towards Magdalena. "Oh right, this is still happening.
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:34 PM): "You had me at your mercy before, and you settled for demanding an alliance until the battle was won!"
(11:10:46 PM): "I would have very well surrendered rights to the throne if you'd asked for it!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:10 pm
(11:10:52 PM): Leopold: "Er-- I didn't really think--"
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:08 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:11 pm
(11:11:26 PM): Matthew, proud of the Gurren Brigade's victory, but still sober at the thought of Lord Genome's warning, disembarks from his Nova…to help Viral get out of the wreckage. He ignores the sibling rivalry.
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:38 PM): And with that, the Super Xenon absconds!
ZebulonCrispi 11:12 pm
(11:12:00 PM): Leopold: "That's certainly not the end of that."
wyverncakes 11:12 pm

(7:48:14 PM): You're all onboard a shuttle, following after the massive mobile fortress of Teppelin!
wyverncakes 7:49 pm
(7:49:05 PM): The Chalice has already gone on ahead to try to warn nearby population centers of the Beastmen army, and then swing around to help out if it comes to that.
(7:49:35 PM): But in the meantime, you're moving along with the Dai-Gurren!
Overman Zappa 7:50 pm
(7:50:11 PM): Simon is standing ATOP the Dai-Gurren, solo. Like a damn badass. Because he is. He's also the Determinator right now, so there's that.
wyverncakes 7:50 pm
(7:50:17 PM): So how's everyone gearing up for this push to try to stop the Spiral King?
ZebulonCrispi 7:50 pm
(7:50:22 PM): Leopold is attempting to explain the human concept of Music to Bismuth.
(7:50:27 PM): With mixed success.
(7:50:40 PM): It's getting very abstract.
macprysm 7:50 pm
(7:50:47 PM): Yuu is standing, cross-armed in front of a window as the Tepplin looms closer. "An evil fortress indeed. How did this thing get built with no one noticing?"
troublefirecat 7:51 pm
(7:51:02 PM): Rock is doing some last minute adjustments to Rush, nothing too major, just prep work for the fight ahead.
Meraxa 7:51 pm
(7:51:25 PM): Rossiu: We're honestly not sure where it comes from... Beastmen are a bit of a mystery like that.
VJockey 7:51 pm
(7:51:34 PM): [Sam was standing at the prow of the ship, hand at his sword and looking off into the distance.]
wyverncakes 7:51 pm
(7:51:39 PM): Ayame: "Keep in mind that Simon and the others are from another universe."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:51 pm
(7:51:44 PM): Matthew trades a high five with Tynall and Chandra aboard the bridge, before taking the lift down to his new, improved Nova Messenger!
sketchbookfiend 7:51 pm
(7:51:47 PM): Loran is NOT dressing up all pretty and then getting onto the mission at the last second. He's doing the general Turn A pre-checks. Making sure his chest is full up on missiles and such.
wyverncakes 7:51 pm
(7:51:51 PM): "It's possible that the fortress is a late arrival."
(7:52:00 PM): Yes Ayame's there too.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:52 pm
(7:52:01 PM): "Let us do this." He says to it. "Together, with Simon. With all our friends."
wyverncakes 7:52 pm

macprysm 7:53 pm
(7:53:32 PM): Yuu: "It does resemble a giant drill. Perhaps it drilled through the dimensional boundary? Heh." He shakes his head and puts on a grin that Ryouma would be proud of. "It doesn't matter. We of the Dai-Gurren Brigade will take it down, the same as any other threat to this planet!"
sketchbookfiend 7:54 pm
(7:54:01 PM): Loran: "Wouldn't a drill that could do that cause some serious dimensional damage?"
ZebulonCrispi 7:54 pm
(7:54:23 PM): Leopold: "And if things go well enough, maybe we'll be able to figure out why these people are so keen on attacking humanity."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:54 pm
(7:54:28 PM): Matthew starts up his mech and moves out to the main deck. "Well said, Yuushashiro!"
wyverncakes 7:54 pm
(7:54:39 PM): Ayame: "At any rate... we're almost in range."
Meraxa 7:54 pm
(7:54:52 PM): Rossiu: ...Wait, you're in the brigade?! *Rossiu is in shock at the development!*
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:01 PM): "Additionally. Sam, Simon? The bridge crew asked me to ask you if you could get off their roof!" He adds.
wyverncakes 7:55 pm
(7:55:05 PM): "Everyone suit up; it's time."
Overman Zappa 7:55 pm
(7:55:21 PM): Simon folds his arms and stares down the giant towering thing that is Tepplin. The Sauce of all Beastmen.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:55 pm
(7:55:23 PM): "I invited him." Matthew explains to Rossiu. "Was that out of line?"
ZebulonCrispi 7:55 pm
(7:55:55 PM): Bismuth fuses with Leopold to form Super Bismuth!
Meraxa 7:56 pm
(7:56:12 PM): Rossiu: I... uh... lets just get our suits! *And he's off*
macprysm 7:56 pm
(7:56:51 PM): Yuu cracks his neck, looking over at the kid with the big forehead. "No need to sweat the details, right?" Then leaps to the cockpit of his X-Buster.
Atrament Corel 7:57 pm
(7:57:02 PM): Neptune soon joins the two on the roof too, apparently a quick 'thanks for the meal' was in order for that bit of pudding she just ate.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:57 pm
(7:57:28 PM): Matthew opens a comm line to Simon. "I would ask if you were ready for this, but it would be a redundant question, quiaff?"
Overman Zappa 7:57 pm
(7:57:39 PM): If Simon's gaze were a drill, this would be over already. Alas... what're the odds of manifesting THAT much Spiral Energy?
(7:57:54 PM): Simon: "Quiaff."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:58 pm

(7:58:28 PM): Matthew nods brightly.
ZebulonCrispi 7:58 pm
(7:58:41 PM): Bismith: "Hohoh... I can feel his fighting spirit clearly."
sketchbookfiend 7:59 pm
(7:59:19 PM): Loran: "Is that something you can feel?" The relatively real robot pilot and his rhetorical questions.
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 7:59 pm
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 7:59 pm
(7:59:28 PM): "Stravag! You are sentient?" Matthew exclaims. "I apologize, I had no idea!"
ZebulonCrispi 7:59 pm
(7:59:51 PM): Bismoth: "Of course it is! Super Bismuth is equipped with highly advanced sensors. To detect fighting spirit is child's play!"
(7:59:53 PM): Bismuth*
sketchbookfiend 8:00 pm
(8:00:16 PM): Loran: "Technology sure is amazing."
macprysm 8:00 pm
(8:00:43 PM): Yuu: "Leave the small fry to us, Simon. This is your show. For the justice of all those who would be oppressed underground, as well as those seeking a brighter future, we shall not allow this fortress to stay standing!"
vertigojockey@gmail.com has been invited. 8:01 pm
vertigojockey@gmail.com has entered the room. 8:01 pm
Atrament Corel 8:01 pm
(8:01:26 PM): Neptune: "I didn't think anything would have sensors for that..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:01 pm
(8:01:49 PM): "If a force comes against us that cannot be pushed back against," Matthew declares, improving off Yuu's own speech. "Then we shall push back against it anyway!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:01 pm
(8:01:51 PM): Leopold: "I guess it comes with being a proud warrior alien."
(8:01:56 PM): Bismuth: "Well said!"
wyverncakes 8:02 pm
(8:02:22 PM): At any rate, those of you with mechs are free to get into them
(8:02:31 PM): Those without are free to hitch a ride one way or another.
(8:03:06 PM): Ayame: "Attenborough, ready the main guns."
VJockey 8:03 pm
(8:03:08 PM): [Sam was already in his exoskeleton. One of the reasons he was waiting on the roof was because he was already ready.]
troublefirecat 8:03 pm
(8:03:26 PM): Rock has Rush so he doesn't need a ride. After finishing preperations, he orders Rush into Jet Mode and hops on.
VJockey 8:03 pm
(8:03:43 PM): "Well... This looks to like its going to be a good time."
Overman Zappa 8:03 pm
(8:03:59 PM): Simon yanks the drill from around his neck and points it toward Tepplin. "Dai-Gurren Brigade. White Chalice. Ours is the force that will pierce this evil! Ours is the spirit that will defeat these Beastmen and keep them from ever taking another from us. To keep them from ever trying to oppress humanity, alien, or robot kind and keep us living in fear, digging holes of despair. OURS IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!" And he raises the Core Drill up high. You can just FEEL that powah! Maybe even you, Loran. Maybe even you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V7aUT13qtM
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:20 PM): Bismuth can calculate the powah to three significant digits!
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:22 PM): AND feel it.
wyverncakes 8:04 pm
(8:04:33 PM): Dayakka: "The Dai-Gurren's ready!" Each of its cannons is primed and pointing towards the Teppelin and its horde of Ganmen... and then the first brutal salvo is unleashed!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:04 pm
(8:04:48 PM): Matthew…is hella pumped up!!!
ZebulonCrispi 8:04 pm
(8:04:52 PM): Leopold: "What a fine public speaker."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:04 pm
(8:04:54 PM): "Seyla."
wyverncakes 8:05 pm
(8:05:05 PM): Ayame: "And now they know we're here. Everyone, we'll provide as much support as possible!"
Meraxa 8:05 pm
(8:05:10 PM): Rossiu: I still wouldn't trust him with public office... but what do I know?
sketchbookfiend 8:05 pm
(8:05:38 PM): Loran feels SOMETHING, mostly those goosebumps you feel during the climax of a cool series. Turn A is definitely also blinking with hype power though.
macprysm 8:05 pm
(8:05:44 PM): The X-Buster lands and begins to stride alongside the Dai-Gurren. It still doesn't fly long distances. Yuu brings each foot down heavy in the dirt. Energy's flowing through him, his cockpit's blazing with spirit...that heroic speech has powered him up to unnaturally high levels!
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:00 PM): And yeah, there's a crapton of Ganmen coming towards you, and even the massive fortress itself turns to face you all.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:06 pm
(8:06:01 PM): "What was that, Rossiu?" Matthew interjects.
(8:06:16 PM): While taking aim at the incoming Ganmen.
wyverncakes 8:06 pm

VJockey 8:06 pm
(8:06:51 PM): [Sam had a grin on his face, the sort he had as he was primed for a fight - drawing his sword slowly as electricity arced off the blade.]
(8:07:01 PM): "I don't know much about drills Simon."
Meraxa 8:07 pm
(8:07:03 PM): Rossiu: How about we focus on the huge ganmen over there?
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:05 PM): "But..."
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:08 PM): (Lineup: Simon/Rossiu, Matthew, Rock, Yuu, Loran, Leo, Neptune)
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:18 PM): "I'll cut a path all the same."
(8:07:22 PM): (OI!)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:07 pm
(8:07:24 PM): "Indeed!"
sketchbookfiend 8:07 pm
(8:07:24 PM): Loran just stares in SHOCK because wat the fortress is also a robot?
wyverncakes 8:07 pm
(8:07:27 PM): (Derp)
Atrament Corel 8:07 pm
(8:07:35 PM): Neptune: "You tell 'em, Sam!"
wyverncakes 8:07 pm

(8:07:46 PM): (Enemies: Ganmen x 300, Teppelin)
Atrament Corel 8:07 pm
(8:07:56 PM): And the puny goddess draws her sword as well!
wyverncakes 8:08 pm
(8:08:04 PM): (The Dai-Gurren can be used for attack support, just don't go willy-nilly with it)
(8:08:09 PM): (Simon/Rossiu, Matthew)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:08 pm
(8:08:11 PM): "Let us show them how the Gurren Brigade truly fights!" Matthew declares, toggling active targeting.
Meraxa 8:08 pm
(8:08:17 PM): Rossiu: Simon, time to combine?
Overman Zappa 8:08 pm
(8:08:29 PM): *Simon is still atop the Dai-Gurren. "Dai-GURREN! ALL GUNS FORWARD! OPEN A PATH!" And at that order, every damn gun opens fire, shaking and rattling the Dai-Gurren under his feet (and maybe under Sam and Nep's as well cuz standing.) He'll get in the Lagan in a bit.
Meraxa 8:10 pm
(8:10:08 PM): Rossiu: ...Alright then. Lets try this the old fashioned way. CHARGE! *And charge he does, the Gurren leaping into the fray as it draws its shades saber to slash at the nearest foe+
wyverncakes 8:11 pm
(8:11:53 PM): [Simon/Rossiu] Ayame: "Cannons are reloaded! Fire!" The Dai-Gurren looses another barrage into the ranks of enemy Ganmen, downing a baker's dozen as other still are damaged while trying to evade, and another one gets screwed over as the flying Gurren Lagann cleaves through it in one go! But before you get too high on your horses... "Simon... KAMIIINAAAAAA!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:12 pm
(8:12:14 PM): Matthew: "YOU!!!"
wyverncakes 8:12 pm
(8:12:19 PM): And suddenly a white Ganmen can be seen falling from above, slashing down with two blades to cut through Gurren Lagann!
(8:12:21 PM): (React: Simon)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:12 pm
(8:12:27 PM): # Simon?
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:14 PM): (Err, Rossiu. Derp)
(8:13:42 PM): (And gonna nix that support defend for storyline reasons. Besides, you've got your own turn to worry about)
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:58 PM): (Rock, Yuu, Sam)
Meraxa 8:15 pm
(8:15:01 PM): Rossiu: ...W-W-Whoa! *With just the Gurren to work with, Rossiu finds himself rather awkwardly trying to defend at the sudden arrival on the scene!* Simon, we have company!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:15 pm
(8:15:25 PM): *Matthew levels his guns at the flying Ganmen. "Be smashed to bits against the earth! Take this! Dai-Gurren Nova Lightshow!!!" All the lights in the sky are lasers! And not the rave club kind!+
macprysm 8:16 pm
(8:16:04 PM): The X-Buster, burning with spirit, leaps headlong above a crowd of Ganmen! It's already got its plasma field deployed to deflect incoming fire as it attempts a landing on some poor mook's head. "DAI-GURREN FOR THE HECK OF IT KICK!"+
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:09 PM): [Rossiu] And Gurren is struck... by not two but four blades! Viral's machine... it's got four arms! "You might have thought you'd seen the last of me... that you cut me down along with all the others."
troublefirecat 8:17 pm
(8:17:42 PM): Rock, jetted forward on Rush, deciding to give Needle Cannon a whirl as he fired a few large Needle shaped projectiles at the nearest Ganmen "Eat this! Needle Cannon!" +
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:50 PM): "But I survived... even when nobody else did. Lordgenome and I are all that's left... but all that's necessary in this world!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:18 pm
(8:18:14 PM): "Rossiu! Need assistance cleaning out the trash?" Matthew shouts.
Overman Zappa 8:18 pm
(8:18:15 PM): Seeing <i>that guy</i> drop out of the air, Simon finally high-tails it to the Lagan, and gets his arse into gear!
VJockey 8:18 pm
(8:18:29 PM): *Sam's going to charge.... at Viral - resheathing his sword and letting loose a gunpowered quickdraw at one of the arms!+
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:33 PM): [Matthew] The Nova's lights tear through two more of the Ganmen... but two jet-like Ganmen are already flying around to flank you, firing missiles at the Nova's back!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:18 pm
(8:18:34 PM): Matthew looks up. "Heh. Nevermind."
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:51 PM): (Enkidudu: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091220132006/gurennlagann/images/thumb/4/44/Enkidudu.gif/500px-Enkidudu.gif)
Meraxa 8:18 pm

VJockey 8:19 pm
(8:19:02 PM): "Oh do pardon my interruption but..."
(8:19:09 PM): "Do you mind if I cut in?"
wyverncakes 8:19 pm
(8:19:42 PM): [Yuu] There's admittedly a lot of fire coming in anyways just from that crowd alone, but X-Buster takes negligable damage bfore it smashes through one of the enemy mooks! Yeah!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:20 pm
(8:20:06 PM): *Matthew triggers his jump-jets up, and spinning around in midair, lets off a barrage of lasers at the incoming missiles! "NOVA SPINNING…BURST!"+
macprysm 8:20 pm
(8:20:11 PM): Yuu: Plenty more where that came from! Come at me from anywhere you'd like, cannon fodder!"
arachnion01@gmail.com has entered the room. 8:20 pm
wyverncakes 8:21 pm
(8:21:03 PM): [Rock] The needles pierce through that particular Ganman, kinda a scaled-down version of the Dai-Gurren... but while you're doing that a slew of missiles come from below to catch you off-guard!
(8:21:06 PM): (React: Rock)
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:14 PM): [Sam] You've got small size and the element of surprise (more or less) on your side, but the machine still does have plenty of swords to spare for defense! Enkidudu does manage to block your quickdraw, but the Ganmen is still knocked back all the same! "... Tch... If you want to fight then get in a machine!" And another stream of missiles are fired from the machine at Sam's general direction!
(8:23:29 PM): (Loran, Leo, Neptune)
ZebulonCrispi 8:23 pm
(8:23:46 PM): * Super Bismuth takes flight and shapeshifts, its hands becoming ray guns once more!
(8:23:50 PM): * A hail of Negaforce Rays hammer down on the Beastman Army, completely harmless but draining energy from targets left and right. +
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:59 PM): [Matthew] It's a bit of a close call with the missiles spread so far apart, but you still manage to blow apart them in time to only get the Nova burned a bit from the exchange!
sketchbookfiend 8:26 pm
(8:26:31 PM): *The Turn A rockets into the mass of Ganmen with both beam swords drawn and he starts slashing into the enemy forces. Here's hoping the I-Field knows how to do it's job.+
Atrament Corel 8:26 pm
(8:26:33 PM): *Neptune runs up to some of those Beastmen - zigzagging as she does - and leaps into the air to slash down at them with an ice-infused blade!+
troublefirecat 8:26 pm
(8:26:34 PM): Well, just because Rush is in jet mode doesn't mean he's not aware of what's going on around him. Like any good robo dog partner, he reacts by banking out of the way, surprising Rock a bit, though his own proximity alarm had gone off at the same time. "Whoa!" +
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:45 PM): [Leo] And at first, the Ganmen try to flee from the Negaforce Ray assault... but those caught within it just sorta realize that, oh wow... it's not even hurting! "It's a bluff!" "Take him down!" Aaaaaaaaaaand soon enough you've got a group of twenty-odd Ganmen charging towards the Super Bismuth... only to all stumble and fall into a heap! It'd almost be reason enough to celebrate. EXCEEEEEEPT!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:26 pm
(8:26:46 PM): Matthew bares his teeth. "MY TURN." He declares to the Beastmen…as soon as his actual turn comes about.
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:54 PM): ???: "Well well, Leopold!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:27 pm
(8:27:11 PM): Leopold: "WHY NOW."
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:41 PM): "I knew of the Chalice's journeys, but at first I didn't expect that you'd go and join up with them. And now I see you aiding them in an attack on another ruler, is that right?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:27 pm
(8:27:51 PM): "Ahah..."
(8:27:54 PM): "...hi, Mags!"
(8:28:06 PM): "Can I assume you're here to help us in our battle against evil?"
wyverncakes 8:28 pm

Atrament Corel 8:28 pm
(8:28:23 PM): Neptune: "What, what? Is it backup?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:28 pm
(8:28:49 PM): Bismuth: "Hail, countryman! Are you friend or foe?"
VJockey 8:28 pm
(8:28:55 PM): *Sam grins, spreading his arms in a taunting manner. "Oh? But I'm not the one cowering in fear inside a metal shell." and at the last second he swings his blade at one of the missiles, running forward and leaping onto one, then another! Then another after that - repeating his leap across the swarm of explosives before letting loose another quickdraw swing! This time though... if he fell short of range? Well Viral's about to get a facefull of blade-hurricane.+
sketchbookfiend 8:28 pm
(8:28:58 PM): Loran: "Isn't that-" The Turn A's head motions between the two Bismuths.
wyverncakes 8:29 pm
(8:29:05 PM): "Mags": "Don't think I'd be so eager as to let you succeed here. If you all win, what then? Will you be taking that massive fortress as your own castel once you're King?"
ZebulonCrispi 8:29 pm
(8:29:21 PM): Leopold: "Sister, wait, I can explain--"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:29 pm
(8:29:49 PM): "A newcomer to the battlefield?" Matthew wonders.
Overman Zappa 8:30 pm
(8:30:05 PM): Simon: "I'm not trying to be King. I'm trying to stop them from them from attacking more people!
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:13 PM): [Leo cont.] "You can explain after you're defeated!" And thus this not-Bismuth charges down at the original machine, its arms swinging down like whips at the machine!

ZebulonCrispi 8:30 pm
(8:30:45 PM): * Super Bismuth forms regular hands again, attempting to grab the whips out of the air! +
wyverncakes 8:30 pm

ZebulonCrispi 8:31 pm

(8:31:32 PM): Leopold: "ACTUALLY ANY BACKUP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS"
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:54 PM): [Loran] And Turn A's swords hack through four more Ganmen in all the confusion, but the others are falling away in the meantime! And yeah, you've got an I-Field, but a huge amount of dakka's coming your way now too, in the form of missiles, bullets, and even thrown axes!
(8:31:57 PM): (React: Loran)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:32 pm

VJockey 8:33 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:33 pm

wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:43 PM): [Neptune] Like Sam as well, your small size works well to help you catch several more of the Ganmen off-guard, leaving deep, freezing gashes in several of the machines that leave them moving sluggishly.
(8:34:21 PM): [Rock] You dodge, the missiles exploding shortly thereafter! It's a bit turbulent for Rush, but you still stay on the dog all the same!

Overman Zappa 8:35 pm

macprysm 8:36 pm

wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:20 PM): [Sam] Fortunately you have the advantage here of Viral being totally an Ineffectual Villain, and though your blade doesn't hit... "You mis-guwaaaaah!?!" Yeah, Enkidudu's face is looking pretty scarred up right about now.
(8:37:37 PM): [Loran and Yuu] It's a bit of a challenge to keep dodging those axes while at the same time swatting aside the missiles... and the bullets are still an ever-present threat that's steadily if slowly chipping away at your barrier! But before the Turn A gets overwhelmed, X-Buster smashes through a huge dogpile of enemies to take the pressure off!
VJockey 8:37 pm

(8:38:46 PM): [Leo] Bismuth grabs hold, but all that does is give this newcomer machine the chance to pull itself down to the ground all the faster, shoulderchecking Super Bismuth along the way!
sketchbookfiend 8:38 pm
(8:38:47 PM): Loran: "Ah. W-well I dunno about that-"
ZebulonCrispi 8:39 pm
(8:39:03 PM): Leopold: "Augh!"
(8:39:26 PM): Bismuth: "Who is this pretender to the throne, Your Majesty?"
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:29 PM): "Mags": "Your machine seems unfamiliar with battling one of its own, Leopold."
ZebulonCrispi 8:39 pm
(8:39:38 PM): Leopold: "Er, pretender might not be the right word..."
ZebulonCrispi 8:40 pm
(8:40:09 PM): Leopold: "But maybe some introductions are in order!"
Overman Zappa 8:40 pm
(8:40:12 PM): *Gurren Lagan shifts a pair of drills up against it's wrist and rears a hand back. With no regard for Viral's safety, Simon slugs it right into the Enkidudu's big ugly face!+
wyverncakes 8:40 pm
(8:40:28 PM): "In contrast, Xenon and I are fully prepared to what this battle would require of us. We will defeat you and secure our own place, and we will have no need for asking others to assist us either!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:40 pm
(8:40:47 PM): Leopold: "Bismuth, this is my terrifying older sister, Princess Magdalena. Mags, this is my associate, Bismuth."
Meraxa 8:40 pm
(8:40:56 PM): Rossiu: Simon, I don't think he realises whats changed since the last few times we've met...
ZebulonCrispi 8:41 pm
(8:41:00 PM): Bismuth: "It will be an honor to face you in battle!"
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:44 PM): Magdalena: "Good. Then I'll hold you to it to not allow this coward to flee from his own battles."
Overman Zappa 8:41 pm
(8:41:50 PM): Simon: "He doesn't? You mean... he still thinks Bro is piloting? Either way, he's still in our way. The sooner he moves aside, the better!
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:53 PM): "If he wishes to be King so much, he needs to start acting like one."
VJockey 8:42 pm
(8:42:25 PM): "Simon"
(8:42:41 PM): "As much of a poor fight as he's turning out to be right now."
(8:42:50 PM): "I think I can keep him off your hands."
wyverncakes 8:42 pm
(8:42:55 PM): [Simon] Viral however, has no intention of backing off in the slightest! He charges, primed to deliver a four-blade slash to Gurren Lagann, but his timing is off and the Enkidudu gets staggered with ease. "Not yet... I didn't come back... JUST TO LOSE HERE!" If only he had a G Stone. All Viral can do though is flail with all of his swords with everything he's got.
(8:44:08 PM): (React: Simon)
VJockey 8:44 pm
(8:44:21 PM): #Simon?
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:03 PM): (GL guys, this is your call)
Overman Zappa 8:45 pm
(8:45:15 PM): Simon tries to open straight up communication with Viral. "Look right here. The man you want to fight... My bro isn't here anymore! Get RIGHT out of our way or you'll get torn apart like the rest!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:45 pm
(8:45:39 PM): *Matthew rocket-boosts forward, slamming into an aerial Ganmen and ripping into it with his radiator blades. Then, jump jets roaring at maximum power, he tries to use it as a battering ram, slamming it into one Ganmen after the other!+
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:40 PM): (Actually, hold on just one sec, Sam. THEN you can go ahead with it)
(8:46:30 PM): [GL team] Aaaaaand as Simon drops Viral a line, the Enkidudu just stops in disbelief. "Kamina... Kamina's..."
(8:46:49 PM): "... When... did it happen? How long have I...?"
Overman Zappa 8:47 pm
(8:47:40 PM): Simon: "Months ago. He died when we took your battleship. If that's your whole reason for fighting us, you're wasting your time!"
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:59 PM): [Matthew] You tear through another Ganmen! BUT! While you're doing all of this, you might suddenly notice a shadow falling over you. Oh... crap, that's right. It's the hugeass Teppelin! That thing has arms too, and it's moving to smash you flat like the amoeba you are compared to it!
(8:48:02 PM): (React: Matthew)
(8:48:34 PM): (Rock, Yuu, Sam)
Meraxa 8:48 pm
(8:48:38 PM): Rossiu: He's definitely wasting ours! *And with the greater mobility of Gurren Lagann afforded to him, plus its absurb abilities, Rossiu will more than try to block as he turns one set of shades into two, and tries to parry in a flurry+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:49 pm
(8:49:34 PM): Matthew looks up. "…Stravag!" With the last of his jump-jet juice he tries to light the heck out of there! "Dai-Gurren! This is Matthew, requesting fire support on the Teppelin arm!"+
wyverncakes 8:50 pm
(8:50:19 PM): [GL team] Aaaaaand Viral's taking that news all kinds of bad ways now. "No... no it's... ALL THIS TIME?!?" And the Enkidudu renews its assault on Gurren Lagann! Those parries are actually working just fine to stop all four blades though, but there's no end in sight! "ALL THIS TIME, AND EVEN A CHILD'S SURPASSED ME!?!"
(8:50:27 PM): (Okay, now Sam, you can go for it now if you'd like)
macprysm 8:50 pm
(8:50:57 PM): Yuu: "Mechwarrior Matthew! Take my hand...OF JUSTICE!" The X-Buster launches its large Rocket Punch into a crowd of mooks, flying straight and true! It's passing right by Matthew, if he can catch onto it...+
VJockey 8:52 pm
(8:52:01 PM): *Sam's going to make things a little faster for Simon and Rossiu. While Viral's preoccupied with stabbing the hell out of the Gurren Lagann, the swordsman leaps up from behind and unleashes a flurry of his own upon the Enkidudu's right set of arms at a downright blazing speed - the air practically lighting up with red!+
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:28 PM): [Matthew and Yuu] "Understood. But with something that big, I can't promise much of anything!" The Dai-Gurren unloads its firepower on Teppelin's hammer-hand, but it doesn't seem to be slowing it down or even putting a dent in it! HOWEVER... Yuu's there with the save and a convenient means of escape!
(8:52:55 PM): Ayame: "... Barely any damage though... honestly we might spend more time trying to breach through that thing's armor than just dealing with this riff-"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:52 pm
(8:52:57 PM): Matthew raises his Nova's arm towards X-Buster. Barely out of reach! Matthew grits his teeth and closes his eyes, concentrating on his Nova's newest feature.
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:57 PM): "... Wait."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:53 pm
(8:53:12 PM): "…go. Go, Heat Falcon!"
VJockey 8:54 pm
(8:54:15 PM): "Something tells me though.... you didn't do much to change yourself."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:54 pm
(8:54:17 PM): One of Matthew's Nova's arm radiators shoots out, propelledrockets, controlled and tethered to the Nova by a cable! If X-Buster can grab it–!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:54 pm
(8:54:36 PM): *propelled by rockets.
troublefirecat 8:54 pm
(8:54:55 PM): Rock angles around and switches to Spark Shock, shooting a few balls of electricity at another Ganman as he speeds across the battle field. +
wyverncakes 8:54 pm
(8:54:59 PM): [Sam] The crimson blows cleave through the Enkidudu's right limbs just as they were trying to attack Gurren Lagann again, causing the machine to stagger. But still Viral presses on, thrusting forward with his remaining two swords in one last desperate attempt to draw SOME kind of meaningful reaction from that goddamn machine!
(8:55:03 PM): (React: GL team!)
(8:55:10 PM): (Also, that's just cold, Sam. Just. Cold)
macprysm 8:55 pm
(8:55:35 PM): Yuu: "The fist of radiant justice will protect the weak!" The Rocket Punch's manual guidance kicks in as Yuu grabs the Heat Falcon with it, pulling him from the shadow of impending doom!"
Meraxa 8:55 pm
(8:55:38 PM): Rossiu: Simon, you want this?
wyverncakes 8:55 pm
(8:55:42 PM): (Yes, we can assume that the Nova escaped this way)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:56 pm
(8:56:37 PM): "Your Fi Ra Ju is much appreciated, Yuushashiro!" Matthew proclaims, retracting his Heat Falcon.
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:02 PM): [Rock] The shocking blast fries the Ganman, causing it to plummet to the ground below and explode! But Teppelin's growing more active than ever... and suddenly all along the giant machine's body lines begin to light up... right before a near-literal wall of cannon fire comes streaking out to turn you and Rush to paste!
(8:57:07 PM): (React: Rock)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:57 pm

Overman Zappa 8:57 pm
(8:57:26 PM): *Viral wants to keep swinging, he'll give the Beastman something to swing at! Focusing much Spiral Energy, holds light up on the GL before a couple dozen narrow drills erupt in almost all directions, most of them shooting in Viral's direction, and yet, none of them aimed to really kill+
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:52 PM): (Also, Loran, Leo, and Neptuen can act)
Atrament Corel 8:57 pm
(8:57:59 PM): Neptune: "Watch out! Oh man, I'm gonna need a bigger gun for this...! Oh wait..."
ZebulonCrispi 8:58 pm
(8:58:05 PM): Bismuth: "Your Majesty, let us make short work of this duel so that we can return to our true battle!"
(8:58:11 PM): "Right! Okay! We can do this!" All this fighting spirit is infectious. Leo's feeling good about this.
wyverncakes 8:58 pm

Atrament Corel 8:58 pm

wyverncakes 8:58 pm
(8:58:36 PM): "I'm picking up a tremendous energy signature from inside of Teppelin. One that, incidentally, is perfectly matching Gurren Lagann's."
VJockey 8:58 pm
(8:58:40 PM): [Sam has a mild grin when his feet hit the deck again. Not even blinking when a drill rushes past his head and over his shoulder.]
ZebulonCrispi 8:58 pm
(8:58:41 PM): * Super Bismith's right hand becomes huge.
(8:58:47 PM): Bismuth: "Super Bismuuuuth..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 8:58 pm
(8:58:59 PM): Matthew chokes. "Another…Gurren Lagann? Impossible!"
ZebulonCrispi 8:59 pm
(8:59:03 PM): * Then, it starts spinning, like a certain kind of symbolism-laden power tool.
(8:59:08 PM): Leopold: "Dai-Gurreeeennnnn..."
(8:59:13 PM): * And it's a massively powerful, oversized spinning drillfist uppercut towards Super Xenon's jaw!
(8:59:15 PM): Bismuth & Leopold: "MEGATON PUUUUUNCH!" +
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:31 PM): Ayame: "Normally I'd say it's possible, but Gurren Lagann's a composite between two machines that had nothing to do with each other!"
Atrament Corel 8:59 pm
(8:59:45 PM): *And with that Neptune gets between Rock and all those shots, just as a giant beam cannon/sword appears in her hands. She pulls the trigger to unleash a giant pink/purple beam that rivals even Nanoha's Divine Buster!+
sketchbookfiend 8:59 pm
(8:59:51 PM): Loran: "A perfect match? With the GL?" Turn A also kind of beeps. Yeah that seems legit.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:00 pm
(9:00:19 PM): A thought occurs to Matthew. "Hold a moment: does the signature match that of Gurren Lagann…or that of Lagann when combined with another machine?"
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:55 PM): [Simon] And it's over so quickly and abruptly that, well, Viral doesn't even really get the satisfaction of seeing Gurren Lagann even try to swing a punch. His own machine is impaled countless times over, and the Enkidudu just falls to its knees and slumps down. "No... it can't... end like this!"
sketchbookfiend 9:01 pm
(9:01:07 PM): Loran: "What makes you think of that, Matthew?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:02 pm
(9:02:09 PM): "It has been in front of our face the whole time." Matthew clarifies. "Lagann has the ability to increase the power levels of any war machine…and also combine and take any machine over!"
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:39 PM): [Leopold] And that massive punch is launched straight at the Super Xenon... sending it flying from the momentum behind it! You'd almost have reason to celebrate, except... "Well well... the wish was as good as I was hoping for!" Super Xenon appears completely unharmed! And its hand whips lash out and grab Super Bismuth again, swinging the machine around and slamming it into the ground!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:02 pm
(9:02:40 PM): "If this Spiral Emperor is in possession of a Lagann mech…then perhaps that is how he is controlling Teppelin!"
macprysm 9:02 pm
(9:02:52 PM): Yuu: ...you can understand there being two Bismuths, but not two Gurren Laganns?
Atrament Corel 9:03 pm

wyverncakes 9:03 pm
(9:03:13 PM): Magdalena: "I wouldn't necessarily say 'two Bismuths', incidentally!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:03 pm
(9:03:20 PM): Bismuth is unable to counter in surprise!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:03 pm
(9:03:21 PM): Matthew curses."To disable this behemoth, we may have to penetrate to the core and take out said Lagann!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:03 pm
(9:03:30 PM): Leopold: "That was a direct hit with our strongest attack!"
wyverncakes 9:03 pm
(9:03:33 PM): "Xenon is far superior... and then there's my own little improvement to him!"
Overman Zappa 9:03 pm
(9:03:35 PM): Simon: "That... actually makes a lot of sense... Meaning if we stop him... we stop Tepplin! Rossiu! We're going!"
wyverncakes 9:03 pm

VJockey 9:03 pm

VJockey 9:04 pm
(9:04:18 PM): [Sam's going to run up one of the drills before it retracts and set himself next to the Gurren Lagann's head.]
wyverncakes 9:04 pm
(9:04:19 PM): "I took additional steps. In space, I was able to find a strange artifact, one from another culture!"

ZebulonCrispi 9:04 pm
(9:04:31 PM): Leopold: "A what."
sketchbookfiend 9:04 pm
(9:04:38 PM): *Oh right, that wall of gun fire, Loran is going to focus putting systems on the I-Field and also quickly put up his shield as he tries. This will not go well probably, as he's also flying to see if he can get in a hole that the canon fire doesn't cover+
VJockey 9:04 pm

macprysm 9:05 pm
(9:05:06 PM): Yuu: "...Space Genie?" Yuu's taken aback by such an unscientific term!
Overman Zappa 9:05 pm
(9:05:15 PM): Simon: "Just down slow us down." He says that with a joking smirk. As if his stature would slow him down. Heh.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:05 pm
(9:05:21 PM): "The proper term is Djinn, is it not?" Matthew notes.
Meraxa 9:05 pm
(9:05:29 PM): Rossiu: Not at all, we-*car screech* ...Space genie?
VJockey 9:05 pm
(9:05:51 PM): "Well that IS troubling... I take it you phrased your wishes correctly?"
wyverncakes 9:05 pm
(9:05:55 PM): Magdalena: "Obviously this alien culture preferred the term 'Genie', though I would not be surprised for you to think otherwise."
(9:06:02 PM): "All I needed was a single wish."
(9:06:17 PM): "That Xenon would be completely and utterly invincible from harm."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:06 pm
(9:06:22 PM): "And I will be going alongside you, Simon!" Matthew declares. "If need be, I can lend you the firepower needed to break through!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:06 pm
(9:06:34 PM): Leopold: "Oh, come on! And you accused ME of fighting dirty for having allies?"
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:40 PM): "I spent three months on this wish, just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes or leave loopholes."
sketchbookfiend 9:06 pm
(9:06:43 PM): Loran reacts a bit slow to the conversation: "...Space Genie."
wyverncakes 9:07 pm

VJockey 9:07 pm

macprysm 9:08 pm

Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:08 pm

vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 9:08 pm
ZebulonCrispi 9:08 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:09 pm

VJockey 9:09 pm
(9:09:46 PM): "Now now. Where's the fun in surrendering without a fight?"
ZebulonCrispi 9:10 pm
(9:10:07 PM): Leopold: "The whole point was for each of us to bring everything we could back home, not to bump each other off!"

wyverncakes 9:10 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:11 pm

Overman Zappa 9:11 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:11 pm

troublefirecat 9:11 pm

wyverncakes 9:12 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:12 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:13 pm

ZebulonCrispi 9:14 pm

wyverncakes 9:14 pm

macprysm 9:19 pm
(9:19:36 PM): Yuu grins, as if he already understands the plan. "I'll open you a hole in the mooks. Get Simon up to that thing's cockpit!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:19 pm
(9:19:42 PM): "From above!"
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:50 PM): Ayame: "... A viable plan. One small tweak."
(9:19:59 PM): "Magdalena!"
(9:20:13 PM): "You made your deal with Leopold, not me."
(9:20:30 PM): "If you don't want the music returning, get onto the bow of the Dai-Gurren this instant."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:20 pm
(9:20:47 PM): Matthew's eyes widen. "Of course!"
wyverncakes 9:20 pm
(9:20:48 PM): "Anyone else who wants to come along for the ride, hop on."
Overman Zappa 9:21 pm
(9:21:24 PM): Clearly the GL is getting on deck. Hell, Simon is prepared to have to drill his way in!
macprysm 9:21 pm
(9:21:25 PM): Yuu: Put that "invincible to harm" body to work! Wah-hah!"
wyverncakes 9:21 pm
(9:21:31 PM): The Dai-Gurren then lets loose another round of covering fire for you all, with the Super Xenon speedily trying to get to the ship ahead of you all. Yeah, Mags does NOT like that song.
sketchbookfiend 9:21 pm
(9:21:35 PM): Loran: "Alright, guess I'll go too." The Turn A wooshes its way over to the Dai-Gurren.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:21 pm
(9:21:36 PM): "If Xenon is truly invincible…then it can be the ultimate drill bit!" He muses.
ZebulonCrispi 9:21 pm
(9:21:51 PM): Super Bismuth climbs aboard!
VJockey 9:22 pm
(9:22:04 PM): [Sam's still standing on the GL.]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:22 pm
(9:22:06 PM): "Hah! Wherever Simon goes, I shall follow!" Matthew jump-jets onto the Dai-Gurren's prow.
Atrament Corel 9:22 pm
(9:22:38 PM): Neptune hops on as well, no sense staying out here, really.
wyverncakes 9:24 pm
(9:24:02 PM): Ayame: "Alright, it's time then. Yuu, watch yourself. Everyone else... get ready to break through!"
(9:24:36 PM): And with that, the Dai-Gurren rockets off into the air, straight at the Teppelin's head! But on the way, its massive hammer arm is coming swinging out at you all, intent on reducing you all to be pancakes!
frifreeman2 has entered the room. 9:24 pm
Meraxa 9:24 pm

wyverncakes 9:25 pm

macprysm 9:25 pm
(9:25:03 PM): Yuu: Roger. I'll cover this front for when the chalice arrives. You guys, I'm counting on you....FINALLLLLLLLL...." The X-Buster charges to full power, bringing all its blasters onlines to cover the charge. "CROSSSSSSSS!"+
wyverncakes 9:25 pm
(9:25:13 PM): (Everyone's free to join in on this attack)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:25 pm
(9:25:15 PM): Matthew: "Keep Going! Pierce Right Through!!!"

ZebulonCrispi 9:25 pm
(9:25:58 PM): Bismuth: "Pierce through the enemy without fear, Xenon!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:26 pm
(9:26:19 PM): *He levels his Nova's weapon pods! "DAI-GURREN…DOUBLE ALPHA STRIKKKEEEEE!"+
Meraxa 9:26 pm
(9:26:23 PM): Rossiu: Simon! Let's make a drill! *With the charge ordered, Gurren Lagann forms for itself a sizable drill, ready to work its way through straight to the target when ready!+
Overman Zappa 9:27 pm
(9:27:14 PM): *A drill forms over GL'sfist. Then bumps up in size. Then bumps up again! AND AGAIN! Slowly the drill starts to turn, but it only gets faster by the second!+
Atrament Corel 9:27 pm
(9:27:26 PM): *And the sword/beam cannon is raised again, with Neptune bracing herself as it forms a ball of energy for a good bit. And then...it fires!+
ZebulonCrispi 9:27 pm
(9:27:34 PM): * Super Bismuth forms a drill of its own, getting into the spirit of things! WHile it's not as impressive as Gurren Lagann's drill, the alien robot is doing its part to pierce through! +
troublefirecat 9:27 pm
(9:27:36 PM): Rock chips in with some Magnet Missles for some added explosive power. +
VJockey 9:28 pm
(9:28:24 PM): *Sam's readied his sword for a quickdraw - pumping a large amount of power into the blade for a truly massive slash - similar to what he had done a looong while back at Innsmouth.+
sketchbookfiend 9:28 pm
(9:28:59 PM): *The Turn A opens it's abdomen to fire out a wide mega particle beam across the field+
wyverncakes 9:31 pm
(9:31:08 PM): [Everyone] And in one metal-crunching moment, the Super Xenon-reinforced bow of the Dai-Gurren smashes into the Teppelin's fist... the rest of you all blowing a massive gaping hole through it straight to Teppelin's head! You're seemingly not going anywhere anytime soon... but...
(9:31:13 PM): Ayame: "Good enough!"
(9:31:44 PM): Ayame: "All of you guys, it's a clear a shot as we're going to get!"
(9:32:20 PM): And suddenly the bow of the Dai-Gurren's launched out, all of you hurtling out of the Teppelin's fist and straight towards its head!
Meraxa 9:32 pm
(9:32:39 PM): Rossiu: ...W-w-when was this a featuuuuuuuuure?!
VJockey 9:32 pm
(9:32:42 PM): "Hah! Now this is a good way to travel!"
wyverncakes 9:32 pm
(9:32:52 PM): Ayame: "We'll see you when you get back. But the Brigade can't stand to let Yuu have all the fun."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:33 pm
(9:33:07 PM): "WE UNCOVERED THE SOFTWARE COMMANDS A FEW WEEKS AGOOOO!" Matthew replies.
wyverncakes 9:33 pm
(9:33:17 PM): All of you, including the Super Xenon, go hurtling off, smashing through...
(9:33:49 PM): ... And almost immediately, the entire vibe of everything changes drastically. Instead of the pitched battlefield with relatively unremarkable mooks...
(9:34:11 PM): You all find yourself in landing/crashing into an expansive throne room.
Atrament Corel 9:34 pm
(9:34:17 PM): Nepgear: "What the goodness?!!"
wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:31 PM): And just who's sitting on the throne, you might ask?
(9:34:47 PM): This guy
Meraxa 9:34 pm
(9:34:50 PM): Rossiu: ...I think its him.
sketchbookfiend 9:35 pm
(9:35:02 PM): The Turn A sure does tumble and crash onto it's ass a lot, but it's enough for Loran to spot the thrown and the guy.
ZebulonCrispi 9:35 pm
(9:35:09 PM): Bismuth: "Incredible... even in the greatest gladiatorial duels of my homeland, I've never felt such fighting spirit!"
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:11 PM): Slouched over, looking rather unimpressed by all of this, and surrounded by a slew of attractive women.
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:24 PM): Lordgenome: "So..."
Atrament Corel 9:35 pm
(9:35:51 PM): Neptune lands on her face, but somehow, she's fine.
wyverncakes 9:36 pm
(9:36:07 PM): "I finally meet the apes of this world, along with the ones who escaped from their caves in my own."
VJockey 9:36 pm
(9:36:36 PM): "Well that's hardly polite when you're an ape yourself isn't it?"
sketchbookfiend 9:36 pm
(9:36:45 PM): Loran: "An ape!?"
Atrament Corel 9:36 pm
(9:36:47 PM): Neptune: "It takes one to know one!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:36 pm
(9:36:47 PM): Matthew toggles his jump-jets to land gently. "That man…he is the Spiral Emperor, it seems."
wyverncakes 9:36 pm
(9:36:56 PM): Lordgenome seems completely unphased as he stands up.
Overman Zappa 9:37 pm
(9:37:00 PM): Simon: "Are you the one leading the Beastmen?
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:09 PM): "...Oh he would be..."
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:10 PM): "I am."
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:18 PM): "Sitting on a throne while his soldiers die"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:37 pm
(9:37:25 PM): "And you came…from another world?" Matthew asks.
Overman Zappa 9:37 pm
(9:37:32 PM): Simon: "Either call them off. Or we'll MAKE you call them off."
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:32 PM): "I am many things... including the guardian of another world's humanity. Their world."
(9:37:39 PM): He gestures towards Simon and Rossiu.
VJockey 9:37 pm
(9:37:40 PM): "Hah!"
sketchbookfiend 9:37 pm
(9:37:59 PM): Loran: "You're a...wait you must be joking!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:38 pm
(9:38:14 PM): Leopold: "Ah, if I may interject..."
(9:38:24 PM): Leopold: "If you're a guardian of humanity, then why don't we join forces?"
Overman Zappa 9:38 pm
(9:38:28 PM): That statement doesn't even make sense to Simon!
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:37 PM): Lordgenome: "I gave them orders to surrender if by some miracle you would succeed in striking me down. But nevertheless..." He reached up, throwing aside his cloak.
ZebulonCrispi 9:38 pm
(9:38:39 PM): Leopold: "Surely there's a way to protect people that doesn't involve all this senseless bloodshed."
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:41 PM): And holy crap this guy is BUFF.
VJockey 9:38 pm
(9:38:48 PM): "Calling yourself a guardian while killing those that can't fight, sending others to die in your stead."
(9:39:00 PM): "I've made it my life's work killing people like you."
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:07 PM): "... You have begun reaching too far, spreading a curse to this universe as well."
sketchbookfiend 9:39 pm
(9:39:20 PM): Loran: "...What are you talking about?"
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:29 PM): "Nothing."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:39 pm
(9:39:46 PM): "Curse? Guardian of humanity? Stop speaking in riddles!" Matthew blurts out.
ZebulonCrispi 9:39 pm
(9:39:50 PM): Leopold: "No, wait! We're very open-minded, you can talk to us about it!"
Overman Zappa 9:39 pm
(9:39:57 PM): Simon: "I'll reach as far as I need to if it prevents you from killing more people! I'll reach past the heavens! Past space!"
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:57 PM): And at that, Lordgenome's throne begins to open up... the countless women around him suddenly gasping as black and red cloths wrap them up into drills!
(9:40:25 PM): Lordgenome: "And how many universes will you doom in the process?"
(9:40:34 PM): "But it ends here."
Overman Zappa 9:40 pm
(9:40:46 PM): Simon: "I'm not dooming anything! Except for you!"
wyverncakes 9:40 pm
(9:40:54 PM): And then, Lordgenome and his drillgirls begin to descend! Whut... are they trying to escape?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:41 pm
(9:41:28 PM): "Simon!" Matthew exclaims. "If he possesses a Lagann, then–!"
Meraxa 9:41 pm
(9:41:43 PM): Rossiu: You're not getting... away...? *Rossiu is... disturbed for some reason*
Overman Zappa 9:42 pm
(9:42:00 PM): Gurren Lagann flexes, his chest puffing out, forearms puffing out, looking even more swoll than usual, both faces gnashing their teeth! "COWARD!"
VJockey 9:42 pm
(9:42:06 PM): *Sam rushes forward in a blur of motion, hand snapping to his sword and pulling the trigger as he SWINGS to take Genome's head off his neck!!+
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:23 PM): And for Genome...
Atrament Corel 9:42 pm
(9:42:52 PM): Neptune: "Sam! Wait!"
wyverncakes 9:42 pm
(9:42:58 PM): "Rashness... this universe never learned its place."
(9:43:12 PM): He says that with absolute calm even with Sam coming in straight at him...
(9:43:21 PM): ... And then catches the Muramasa in one hand!
VJockey 9:43 pm
(9:43:28 PM): "!!!"
(9:43:30 PM): "What-"
Overman Zappa 9:43 pm
(9:43:42 PM): "Rash? Is it rash to stand up for people who can't do so for themselves? Against people wh-" WAT?
sketchbookfiend 9:43 pm
(9:43:42 PM): Loran: "WHOAH!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:43 pm
(9:43:43 PM): Matthew: "He…blocked it!"
wyverncakes 9:43 pm
(9:43:46 PM): "What it means to have that feeling. That sense of invincibility. The pain that follows afterwards."
(9:43:56 PM): And then Lordgenome swings his other fist straight into Sam's gut.
(9:44:32 PM): The impact's loud enough for you all to hear... and you can see as Sam's exosuit begins to crack all over the place. And then... parts of it just-plain EXPLODE, Sam sent hurling into a wall!
(9:44:36 PM): (Sam: downed)
Overman Zappa 9:44 pm
(9:44:43 PM): "SAM!"
ZebulonCrispi 9:44 pm
(9:44:48 PM): Bismuth: "Spiral Emperor..."
(9:44:58 PM): Bismuth: "...it is a great honor to face one such as you in battle."
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:00 PM): "It never changes. In this world or any other."
sketchbookfiend 9:45 pm
(9:45:02 PM): Loran: "Wha- what kind of human has this power!?"
Atrament Corel 9:45 pm
(9:45:08 PM): Neptune, for once, is just speechless.
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:14 PM): And finally, you see something rise up from the ground.
(9:45:19 PM): No... three somethings.
VJockey 9:45 pm
(9:45:28 PM): [Sam's just going to be off to the side, bleeding as he's slumped unconcious against a wall.]
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:29 PM): Two of them a grayed-out version of the lead machine.
(9:45:40 PM): (Lazengann: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091220142314/gurennlagann/images/thumb/f/f0/Lazengann.gif/500px-Lazengann.gif)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:45 pm
(9:45:56 PM): "A man with the same source of power as Simon." Matthew says grimely, answering Loran.
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:01 PM): Several of the drills stab into the gray ones, the remaining ones and Lordgenome himself entering the cockpit of the last.
Overman Zappa 9:46 pm
(9:46:32 PM): "You... have one too. Then it'll be a fair fight!" All his 'rawr' is getting to his head.
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:34 PM): "There was once a young man, who thought he had the power to change the world... for the better, he thought."
(9:46:52 PM): "But that story's end differed from its start."
(9:47:33 PM): (Enemies: Gray Lazengann x 2, True Lazengann x 1)
wyverncakes 9:48 pm
(9:48:11 PM): (Lineup: Simon/Rossiu, Matthew, Rock, Loran, Leo)
(9:48:41 PM): Magdalena: "Such power..."
(9:48:51 PM): "But... you call yourself a king?"
(9:48:57 PM): Super Xenon stands proud!
(9:49:04 PM): "All I have seen of your reign is destruction!"
(9:49:12 PM): (Simon/Rossiu, Matthew)
Meraxa 9:49 pm
(9:49:29 PM): Rossiu: Simon, if we take out the lead machine...!
Atrament Corel 9:49 pm
(9:49:33 PM): Meanwhile, Neptune looks at her weapon, which reverts back to her sister's regular form. "Um, Nepgear, can you look after Sam for me?"
Overman Zappa 9:50 pm
(9:50:05 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MuDZLlCiPk
*Simon goes straight for the big guns as he draws TWO pairs of shade boomerangs from his chest. "You're talking about all this power and idealism, but you're just using it to bully people! I'm not going to let you bully this planet or mine!" And THROW! Double Gurren-Shade BOOMERANG!+
Atrament Corel 9:50 pm
(9:50:19 PM): Nepgear: "I don't know how much I can do, but sure. Be careful, sister, everyone."
Overman Zappa 9:50 pm
(9:50:19 PM): (for Genome, of cours)
wyverncakes 9:50 pm
(9:50:26 PM): (And because I am derp, lineup again: (Lineup: Simon/Rossiu, Matthew, Rock, Loran, Leo, Neptune)
Atrament Corel 9:50 pm
(9:50:44 PM): And the younger Nep goes off to help Sam.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:51 pm
(9:51:27 PM): *Matthew charges at the left Lazenngan Doll, weapons leveled. "Nova Burst!" Five lasers lash out at it's chest.+
wyverncakes 9:51 pm
(9:51:31 PM): [Simon] And the lead Lazengann merely has its tail swing up, smacking away one of the pairs of shaderangs! The other ones stab into the machine's arm and leg... but before Simon can press the advantage any further...
(9:51:38 PM): Viral: "LORDGENOME!"
(9:51:59 PM): ... A single rock, thrown from a lone, insignificant figure off to the side, strikes Gurren Lagann.
(9:52:15 PM): Lordgenome: "... Viral... even now..."
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:43 PM): "I did not give you your new body for the purpose of battle. The apes have long since surpassed you, either with the Spiral or other ways. No."
(9:53:27 PM): And suddenly, a spiked tendril shoots up into the roof of Teppelin, causing rubble to fall down and bury part of Viral's body.
Overman Zappa 9:53 pm
(9:53:54 PM): "You're even bullying your own soldiers! HOW CAN YOU!?"
wyverncakes 9:54 pm
(9:54:06 PM): Lordgenome: "Your purpose is to live. To live for eternity, to ensure that this and any other universe we encounter will know of the victory of the Spiral King."
(9:54:20 PM): (Rock, Loran_
Meraxa 9:54 pm
(9:54:38 PM): Rossiu: Well, hate to rain on your parade, but there'll be no victory!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:54 pm
(9:54:59 PM): "To treat your own loyal subject so–" Matthew snarls. "It is nothing but dishonorable! You disgrace yourself, Lord Genome!"
wyverncakes 9:55 pm
(9:55:02 PM): Lordgenome: "Viral's zeal far exceeds his ability. If I must, then I will force his hand."
(9:55:29 PM): [Matthew] And the Doll springs into the air, the lasers hitting nothing but air before its tail swings up to cleave through the Nova!
(9:55:32 PM): (React: Matthew)
sketchbookfiend 9:55 pm
(9:55:59 PM): Loran: "...You...you call yourself a guardian and a leader!?"
(9:56:31 PM): *The Turn A opens it's chest revealing a slew of loaded large missiles, which then fire out towards the Lazenganns+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 9:57 pm
(9:57:54 PM): *Matthew Dom-surfs to the side, and tries to cleave through the tail with his own radiator blades. "Damn you…NOVA CUTTER!"+
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 9:58 pm
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:28 PM): [Loran] And all of those missiles are going to be swatted away one after another by the Lazengann's tail. He's already explained his motives and stuff, no reason to keep repeating himself.
troublefirecat 9:59 pm
(9:59:36 PM): Rock decides to leave LordGenome to Simon and the others and helps Matthew against the Lazengann doll with a volley of more Magnet Missles +
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:55 PM): [Loran cont.] BUT, there's also that other fake Lazengann to worry about, which is lunging at you from on all fours, and swinging its fist to smash apart the Turn A!
(9:59:59 PM): (React: Loran)
sketchbookfiend 10:00 pm
(10:00:56 PM): *The Turn A shifts its arm and using the rest of the shield as an impromptu knuckle to swing his own blow to meet the fist+
wyverncakes 10:02 pm
(10:02:08 PM): [Rock and Matthew] The mix of missiles and the heat cutter hammer the machine, succeeding in tearing through the fake machine's tail. But before you can even celebrate landing the damage, several more drill-like tentacles shoot out, tearing those radiator blades out of the Nova!
(10:02:19 PM): (Leo, Neptune)
ZebulonCrispi 10:03 pm
(10:03:03 PM): Leopold: "Let's see you fight without your source of power!"
(10:03:06 PM): * Super Bismuth takes aim at the lead Lazengann, and lays seige to it with a rapid-fire stream of Negaforce Rays! +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:03 pm
(10:03:47 PM): Matthew: "Gah!!!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:05 pm
(10:05:37 PM): Alarms blare, indicating that his Nova's wrist radiators, as well as four lasers, are knocked out. "Attacking my weapons like that–he certainly is a cunning warrior."
Atrament Corel 10:05 pm
(10:05:52 PM): *Neptune, now left with her regular sword since her sister's gone off to tend to Sam's injuries - sprints towards the fake Lazengann that just attacked Loran! "Over here!"
wyverncakes 10:06 pm
(10:06:09 PM): [Leopold] And the Negaforce Rays bath Lordgenome's Lazengann, but the machine does not seem to be failing as it walks towards Super Bismuth! "A power that can impede power... and even lesser Spiral machines. Its applications could have been..." But he's not even going to finish that sentence. Instead, Lazengann rockets towards Super Bismuth, pounding a fist into the machine's face before rearing up for a roundhouse kick!
(10:06:12 PM): (React: Leopold)
Atrament Corel 10:06 pm
(10:06:18 PM): *She then summons a regular handgun and begins to fire lightning rounds at it!+
ZebulonCrispi 10:06 pm
(10:06:54 PM): * Caught off guard by the speed of the attack, Super Bismuth goes full defense, transforming one hand into a kite shield to try and block the kick! +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:07 pm
(10:07:22 PM): #Leopold?
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:31 PM): (Actually, someone else has this)
ZebulonCrispi 10:07 pm
(10:07:37 PM): (ohoho)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:07 pm
(10:07:41 PM): (…I see!)
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:48 PM): [Neptune] The third Lazengann finds itself on the defensive for a few moments as its struck by the electrical blasts... but in response it's charging towards you, loosing more tentacles!
(10:07:51 PM): (React: Neptune)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:08 pm
(10:08:21 PM): #Neptune?
Atrament Corel 10:08 pm
(10:08:59 PM): (I got it)
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:19 PM): [Loran] Unfortunately there's not much of your shield left, and the Lazengann smashes through it. Both your fists get smashed up a bit, but before things can continue, there's Neptune's aforementioned attack.
sketchbookfiend 10:10 pm
(10:10:57 PM): Loran: "Ggh, damn it."
Atrament Corel 10:11 pm
(10:11:37 PM): Neptune: *And as soon as the shadow covering her eyes is gone, one can actually see that Neptune is not saddened by what happened to Sam, but just the opposite. She is actually pretty pissed! "Pay close attention..." Her tiny frame is engulfed by purple energy as she suddenly transforms- letting loose a burst of energy to repel those tentacles. On top of that, she unleashes an energy wave with a swing of her sword too!+
wyverncakes 10:11 pm
(10:11:50 PM): [Leopold] And as the kick comes swinging in, it's Super Xenon with the save! The machine plans one hand on the ground to become a bracing system, the other a shield to join your own! "I will not require my father to see one of his sons buried!" The two shields, one completely indestructible, takes the edge off... but the ground where Super Xenon braced itself breaks after a moment and the machine goes hurtling away!
(10:12:05 PM): It might be impossible to harm, but it's not impossible to move, unfortunately.
(10:12:11 PM): (GL team, Matthew)
ZebulonCrispi 10:12 pm
(10:12:14 PM): Leopold: "Oh! Thank you!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:12 pm
(10:12:27 PM): Leopold: (At least she isn't really trying to kill me...)
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:52 PM): Magdalena: "I will not be a Queen whose ascendency was stained by the presence of blood!"
(10:13:49 PM): [Neptune] The release of a goddes's power wasn't quite what the fake Lazengann was prepared for though, and the tentacles are blown away... and doubling up on that, the energy wave hurtles out, cleaving off one of the fake machine's arms!
ZebulonCrispi 10:13 pm
(10:13:55 PM): Leopold: "Still, the Negaforce Rays didn't have any effect..."
(10:14:23 PM): Bismuth: "This isn't an enemy whose flaming soul can be extinguished, Your Majesty."
Meraxa 10:15 pm
(10:15:46 PM): Rossiu: Simon, whilst we have the chance! Giga... *Time to prep another giant drill...*
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:16 pm
(10:16:05 PM): Matthew narrows his eyes, focussing his attention at the Lazengann Doll. "Long range spear tendrils, like Texotic's unit." He checks his heat level. "I do not have to get close to harm him…but I have to make an opening." He chuckles. "This should be quite the challenge."
Overman Zappa 10:16 pm
(10:16:14 PM): Simon watches as his friends aretossed aside, which only seerves to upset him further. "DRILL!"
Meraxa 10:18 pm
(10:18:12 PM): Rossiu: BREAKEEEEEEEEEEER! *And with a giant drill that dwarves the very machine that holds it, Gurren Lagann rockets towards the enemy, Lordgenome!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:18 pm
(10:18:18 PM): *Matthew bops and weaves around the throne room, peppering the tail-less Lazen-Doll with a volley of lasers, building up his heat level to it's limits. "Come now, damn doll! Strike With All Your Strength!"+
(10:18:23 PM): *bobs
wyverncakes 10:19 pm
(10:19:23 PM): [GL team] And as Gurren Lagann moves towards the Lazengann, the machine does... nothing! Instead, it just lets the drill stab through into the machine's abdomen... and then suddenly it just stops!
Meraxa 10:19 pm
(10:19:42 PM): Rossiu: ...Eh?!
Overman Zappa 10:19 pm
(10:19:59 PM): Simon: W'ath?
(10:20:03 PM): *What
wyverncakes 10:20 pm
(10:20:21 PM): The abdomen's armor breaks off... and you suddenly see that just like other Ganmen, the Lazengann has a chestface, with your attack exposing a massive mouth full of jagged teeth that just caught your drill... and then broke it in one powerful chomp!
(10:20:38 PM): Lordgenome: "And now... you will see what true Spiral Power is capable of."
(10:21:10 PM): Gurren Lagann is bitchslapped hard and kicked into the air, and then countless tentacles shoot out, running through the red machine to absolutely perforate it!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:21 pm
(10:21:12 PM): Matthew blanches. "S-Simon! Rossiu!"
sketchbookfiend 10:21 pm
(10:21:23 PM): Loran: "Ah! GUYS!"
wyverncakes 10:21 pm
(10:21:24 PM): And then... the Lazengann just recalls its tentacles and walks away. Like a bause.
Meraxa 10:21 pm
(10:21:25 PM): Rossiu: ACK!
Overman Zappa 10:21 pm
(10:21:31 PM): "AAAAAHHH!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:21 pm
(10:21:32 PM): "TROTHKIN!!!!!!"
Atrament Corel 10:22 pm
(10:22:12 PM): Purple Heart: "No...!"
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:21 PM): [Matthew] Tail-less though it may be, the tail-less Lazengann begins to spring between the walls to avoid the bulk of your lasers, though a few leave searing gashes in its body. But now it's swinging around to smash your machine in with an axe kick!
(10:22:27 PM): (React: Matthew)
(10:22:31 PM): (Loran, Rock)
Overman Zappa 10:22 pm
(10:22:46 PM): Simon pulls on the controls, trying to make the wrecked Gurren Lagan stand. All he manages is to seperate the two from one another.
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:44 PM): Lordgenome: "... So your machine can still find the power to move."
(10:23:58 PM): "A wasted effort."
Overman Zappa 10:24 pm
(10:24:20 PM): Simon: "I'm not going to... just... let you... Win like this. I'm not going to let these people down...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:25 pm
(10:25:40 PM): *Matthew, grinding his teeth, turns from Simon's struggle to win his own. He sees the Lazen-Doll zoom right toward him. "Now!" He exclaims. The Nova, at critical heat levels, starts flaking off beam coating particles, creating heat afterimages! Matthew spins his Nova out of the way, leaving the Lazen-Doll to smash in the cockpit of a mirage! Then he focuses with all of his mind! (cont.)
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:49 PM): (Neptune and Leopold can also move)
sketchbookfiend 10:26 pm
(10:26:19 PM): *The Turn A throws the remains of it's shield to the ground and pulls its beam sabers back out. The least he can do is swing towards the fake Lazengann's abdomen+
ZebulonCrispi 10:26 pm
(10:26:30 PM): Okay, take some pressure off of the main one. Time for another Super Move!
(10:26:44 PM): Leopold & Bismuth: "Super Bismuth..."
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:53 PM): [Matthew] The Lazengann swings and whiffs... but it's already countering the best way it knows how: make more tentacles shoot out every which way!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:26 pm
(10:26:57 PM): "GO, HEAT FALCONS!" His Nova's back radiators launch outward with a burst of plasma, guided by Quasi-Psycommu tether, and arc around to stab intothe Lazen-doll's face!+
ZebulonCrispi 10:26 pm
(10:26:57 PM): * Both of Super Bismuth's hands get huge... and start glowing!
wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(10:26:59 PM): (React/cont: Matthew)
ZebulonCrispi 10:27 pm
(10:27:07 PM): Leopold & Bismuth: "MAGNETON FIST!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:27 pm
(10:27:44 PM): * Magnetic waves that are somehow focused in a specific direction shoot from its hands, pulling one of the Fake Lazengans into Super Bismuth's giant grasp! If it succeeds, it'll be open for someone else to attack! +
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:51 PM): (Want to redo your action, Matthew?)
Atrament Corel 10:29 pm
(10:29:34 PM): (Enemy count is still the same?)
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:42 PM): (About to be one less)
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:27 PM): [Leopold and Loran] The magnetic waves do latch onto the fake Lazenganns, wrenching it over to Super Bismuth... and also giving Loran the chance he needs to stab into the machine's head. There's not much it can do in terms of defense or dodging, just taking the beam saber head on... which proves enough to disable the machine!
ZebulonCrispi 10:30 pm
(10:30:46 PM): Leopold: "Nice shot!"
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:51 PM): (Also, to update Matthew's action since it got some addendum)
(10:31:41 PM): [Matthew] The heat falcons shoot out, stabbing into the machine's face, but at the same time the Nova's ALSO run through by numerous tentacles as well, with alarms going all manner of crazy!
Atrament Corel 10:31 pm
(10:31:54 PM): *Yeah, now's not the time to get discouraged. Purple Heart/Neptune is still targeting one of the fake Lazengann (whichever remains), but surprisingly, she dismisses her own sword!
(10:32:16 PM): Purple Heart: "Now! Noire!"
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:33 PM): (Also, while all this is going on, GL team can act again)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:34 pm
(10:34:18 PM): "Aggghh!" Sparks are going off in his machine's cockpit, and both arms, legs, and chests are highlighted in the red on his HUD. "Just one more blow–" He gasps.
Atrament Corel 10:35 pm
(10:35:13 PM): *She holds out her right hand, and a large sword appears! Holding it with both hands, she charges at the Lazen-doll and vanishes, teleporting as she strikes it from multiple angles almost simultaneously!+ "Uuuoooohhhh!!! Neptune...BREAK!"
(10:35:34 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bztbkDX724k
wyverncakes 10:37 pm
(10:37:16 PM): [Purple Heart] Well... Matthew'd been saying there needed to be one more good hit. And Neptune provided it several times over, completely tearing apart the Lazengan and also freeing Matthew as well! It's just Lordgenome and the original Lazengann now!
ZebulonCrispi 10:38 pm
(10:38:09 PM): Bismuth: "No more distractions now!"
Atrament Corel 10:38 pm
(10:38:24 PM): And Purple Heart lands with the explosion in the background. In this pose.
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:38 PM): (Just a quick heads up, just the real Lazengann is left, Rock)
troublefirecat 10:38 pm
(10:38:51 PM): (right. XD; )
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:40 pm
(10:40:13 PM): Matthew retracts his Heat Falcons, which socket back into his Nova's shoulders. Then his mech sparks, and falls to one knee. "Stravag…my thanks for the save, Neptune!"
Atrament Corel 10:42 pm
(10:42:03 PM): Purple Heart: "Don't mention it..." Then, she notes the state of the Nova. "...Can you continue?"
Overman Zappa 10:43 pm
(10:43:26 PM): *SImon picks up the Lagan to it's feet, and has it hobble over to Lordgenome... And even on it's own, it picks up sppeed, flips, and forms a drill at it's feet!+ "LAGAN! IMPACT!"
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:48 PM): Lordgenome: "And as I said before..."
(10:45:04 PM): [Simon] And Lazengann's just going to swat the Lagann away with ease! "A waste!"
(10:45:07 PM): (GL team continue)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:45 pm
(10:45:36 PM): "As long as HE keeps on fighting, no matter how great a force is against him–" Matthew declares, gazing at Simon intently. "–my pride, my honr demands I do the same!"
Meraxa 10:46 pm
(10:46:40 PM): Rossiu: Shut it! *And several dozens of great big red mecha is gonna come slamming down at Lordgenome, in a move that would make any wrestler proud+
macprysm has left the room. 10:47 pm
Overman Zappa 10:49 pm
(10:49:41 PM): *Simon picks the Lagan back up and goes at it again! Leaving the top open, he turns the Lagan over with drills for feet again! Once more he'll try to ram himself into Lordgenome's Lagann!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:50 pm
(10:50:26 PM): "Simon!" Matthew shouts out. "You told me that there was no force you could not push past against…no wall that you cannot drill through! If the source of that power of yours is the belief of others…then I…then we shall believe in you with all our strength!"
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:02 PM): [GL team combined!] And Gurren grapples with the Lazengann! For all of like, two seconds though. "You're an obstacle." The Lazengann suddenly powers through that hold, smashing the Gurren aside as it moves to attack the Lagann once more...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:51 pm
(10:51:03 PM): He tries to pick his Nova up. "So win!" He hollers!
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:17 PM): ... But the only problem is, it's just a few moments too slow.
(10:51:26 PM): Lordgenome: "You...!"
(10:52:17 PM): And the Lagann IMPALES the Lazengann, releasing a tremendous aura of spiral energy! You can all see as the Lazengann begins to be torn away by the power, more and more!
wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(10:52:30 PM): Lordgenome: "... What I fool I was..."
(10:52:58 PM): The bad news though... is during all of this you can see Lordgenome just casually emerge from the Lazengann, and move towards the small Lagann!
Overman Zappa 10:53 pm
(10:53:02 PM): "You were! I told you... I won't let you... hold... us... DOWN!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:53 pm
(10:53:07 PM): Bismuth: "Such a clash of unyielding souls! Astounding!"
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:09 PM): "No..."
Meraxa 10:53 pm
(10:53:19 PM): Rossiu: SIMON!
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:56 PM): "I should have never relied..." And with one devestating punch, Lordgenome sends the Lagann crashing into the ground HARD even as the Lazengann explodes behind him. "-On a Ganman!"
troublefirecat 10:53 pm
(10:53:57 PM): Rock flies over near Neptune and Matthew, watching with awe, and feeling a bit like this was more Simon's show than theirs though, he was still ready to keep fighting if they needed too.
sketchbookfiend 10:54 pm
(10:54:15 PM): Loran: "This is...ridiculous."
Atrament Corel 10:54 pm
(10:54:24 PM): Purple Heart is shocked. "This man...!"
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:32 PM): Lordgenome is still standing strong, a strange aura of red emenating from his bald head.
ZebulonCrispi 10:54 pm
(10:54:36 PM): Bismuth cannot allow himself to interfere with this incredible duel.
(10:54:48 PM): This is a battle of honor.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:54 pm
(10:54:59 PM): Matthew bolts upward in his cockpit. "WHAT!?!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:11 PM): It's not really much of a battle however, not any more.
Overman Zappa 10:55 pm
(10:55:13 PM): Simon crawls out of the wreckage that is the Lagan and picks himself up to his feet slowly.
sketchbookfiend 10:55 pm
(10:55:27 PM): Loran: "Simon!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:30 PM): Not as he grabs Simon by his jacket and pulls him up.
(10:55:43 PM): Lordgenome: "Ha... ha haaaaaaaa!"
troublefirecat 10:55 pm
(10:55:49 PM): Rock: Simon!
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:07 PM): Lordgenome: "It was not enough, was it? Your Spiral has run dry!"
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:47 PM): "... All of you, I have not had so much fun in a long time! And now, I have the thing I came here for more than anything else!"
Overman Zappa 10:57 pm
(10:57:08 PM): Simon: "You... wish." Simon clutches his fist... there's a string hanging from those tight fingers.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 10:57 pm
(10:57:17 PM): Matthew curses, unstrapping himself from his cockpit, popping the hatch on his crippled mech, hoping he can get to Simon in time!
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:20 PM): Lordgenome: "What?"
Overman Zappa 10:57 pm
(10:57:40 PM): *Simon punches Lordgenome in his damn chest. But in his hand... is the Core Drill.!+|
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:53 PM): Lordgenome: "A Core Drill?!?"
troublefirecat 10:58 pm
(10:58:10 PM): Rock also starts to jet over, but stops when he sees what's happening.
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:12 PM): Yeah, the Spiral King is caught by surprise, and also come down with a sudden case of Metal Gear Solid Dialogue syndrome.
Overman Zappa 10:58 pm
(10:58:20 PM): CORE DRILL! SWITCH ON! *Simon turns it*
sketchbookfiend 10:58 pm
(10:58:34 PM): The Turn A starts to move but stops abruptly.
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:09 PM): And that was all that was needed, as suddenly an immense wave of energy was released... one blowing a massive hole in Teppelin's walls!
(10:59:17 PM): ... Along with one in Lordgenome's body for that matter.
Meraxa 10:59 pm
(10:59:32 PM): Rossiu: ...H-He did it...!
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:44 PM): Lordgenome is still standing, but... something feels different as he looks at you all.
ZebulonCrispi 10:59 pm
(10:59:50 PM): Bismuth: "That's how it's done...!"
sketchbookfiend 11:00 pm
(11:00:01 PM): Loran: "Amazing, Simon!"
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:23 PM): Lordgenome: "... His Spiral Poweer... surpassing mine. Ha... hehahahahaha..."
(11:00:40 PM): "In time you'll regret that, see it as the curse it is."
(11:00:52 PM): The man closes his eyes.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:00 pm
(11:00:56 PM): Matthew: "…Simon. You truly are the greatest of Diggers."
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:03 PM): "As said before, my armies will cease."
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:10 PM): "But I leave you with this:
Overman Zappa 11:01 pm
(11:01:18 PM): "I told you... over and over... I won't... lose anyone else to you..." He's still on about this curse? What kind of curse lets him stand up to any foe with such allies?
ZebulonCrispi has left the room. 11:01 pm
wyverncakes 11:01 pm
(11:01:32 PM): "The inhabitants of this world have been put in danger because of you."
(11:02:07 PM): "Roughly one month ago, a force came to this world from the future. And in doing so, they have damaged this universe's boundaries even further."
Overman Zappa 11:02 pm
(11:02:10 PM): "Then we'll fight them off too... and protect them. Just like today."
ZebulonCrispi has entered the room. 11:02 pm
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:42 PM): "In our universe, if a land were to be overrun by but a million apes... it would be the prelude to tragedy."
sketchbookfiend 11:02 pm
(11:02:57 PM): Loran: "....just a million?"
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:03 PM): "In coming here, you and the others introduced the Spiral and its curse to this world."
wyverncakes 11:03 pm
(11:03:39 PM): "This world, has far more than a million, and my efforts to reduce the number to eliminate the threat of the curse were thwarted because of you."
troublefirecat 11:03 pm
(11:03:58 PM): Rock: What's that supposed to mean?
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:15 PM): Loran: "Are you crazy, no curse is worth killing so many people!!"
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:16 PM): "It is only a matter of time until the curse strikes this world too, and the moon becomes the instrument of tragedy."
(11:04:24 PM): He chuckles at that last bit Loran.
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:25 PM): Loran:"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:04 pm
(11:04:36 PM): Leopold: "Oh, dear."
Meraxa 11:04 pm
(11:04:40 PM): Rossiu: ...He means that he was a guardian... against something worse.
sketchbookfiend 11:04 pm
(11:04:42 PM): Loran: "What- the moon!?"
troublefirecat 11:04 pm
(11:04:49 PM): Rock: What?!
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:55 PM): "... It may be possible to save this world though... but only if you take every trace of the Spiral away from here."
Overman Zappa 11:05 pm
(11:05:01 PM): Simon: "Desperate... lies. We have friends from the Moon!"
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:09 PM): "You. The others. The Ganmen..."
Overman Zappa 11:05 pm
(11:05:18 PM): His eyes go wide, yo.
wyverncakes 11:05 pm
(11:05:29 PM): "The weakened boundaries will allow Teppelin to transport them all home."
sketchbookfiend 11:05 pm
(11:05:42 PM): Loran: "...that's."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:05 pm
(11:05:57 PM): Matthew inhales sharply. "The moon…a messenger of death? And the power of Spiral is what will provoke it?"
wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:05 PM): "Either kill until but a million remain... or leave. Those are your choices if you wish to avert the curse from striking here."
(11:06:17 PM): And at Matthew's question, Lordgenome looks up.
(11:06:20 PM): Up into the sky.
(11:06:58 PM): And then he shakes his head just once. "This moon will not. But another... another will."
sketchbookfiend 11:07 pm
(11:07:11 PM): Loran: "Just what the hell...is the Spiral!?"
sketchbookfiend 11:07 pm
(11:07:44 PM): Jesus way to give Loran a heart attack...he could not take another fake moon though.
Overman Zappa 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): Simon grits his teeth. "Nnnng... Fine. It's not... not what I want to do.. but wha I have to.
wyverncakes 11:07 pm
(11:07:46 PM): Lordgenome: "The Spiral is nothing more than false hope."
(11:08:17 PM): Lordgenome: "The curse is now yours to address, however you choose to do so... farewell."
(11:08:33 PM): And with that, Lordgenome tips his body back slightly, and falls from the height of Teppelin.
(11:08:55 PM): A pained scream can be heard off to the side, courtesy of poor, abused Viral. Gotta feel sorry for him, all things considered.
ZebulonCrispi 11:09 pm
(11:09:10 PM): Leopold: "In the end, we couldn't come to a peaceful solution... have I failed as a negotiator?"
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:17 PM): But you've all been left with some serious food for thought, about the Spiral and the curse that comes with it.
(11:09:23 PM): And Leopold!
(11:09:27 PM): To answer your question...
Atrament Corel 11:09 pm
(11:09:28 PM): Purple Heart: "Sometimes this is the only solution."
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:53 PM): Magdalena: "In this case, perhaps not... There is still an army outside to address. However, Leopold!"
(11:09:58 PM): "YOU HAVE STILL FAILED!"
(11:10:09 PM): At that, the woman suddenly lets out a victorious laugh.
ZebulonCrispi 11:10 pm
(11:10:15 PM): Leopold: "What?!"
sketchbookfiend 11:10 pm
(11:10:32 PM): Loran turns towards Magdalena. "Oh right, this is still happening.
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:34 PM): "You had me at your mercy before, and you settled for demanding an alliance until the battle was won!"
(11:10:46 PM): "I would have very well surrendered rights to the throne if you'd asked for it!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:10 pm
(11:10:52 PM): Leopold: "Er-- I didn't really think--"
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:08 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com 11:11 pm
(11:11:26 PM): Matthew, proud of the Gurren Brigade's victory, but still sober at the thought of Lord Genome's warning, disembarks from his Nova…to help Viral get out of the wreckage. He ignores the sibling rivalry.
wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(11:11:38 PM): And with that, the Super Xenon absconds!
ZebulonCrispi 11:12 pm
(11:12:00 PM): Leopold: "That's certainly not the end of that."
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
