VJockey (02:49:24): Another day, another crisis
VJockey (02:50:09): with the situation with the Teppelin resolved it was time to deal with another situation altogether,
VJockey (02:50:18): this being...
VJockey (02:50:41): Yuu's crazy and evil girlfriend Oishi managing to somehow take over a city in the name of...
VJockey (02:50:45): E.V.I.L.
VJockey (02:51:22): As a shuttle moves you to the outer limits of the dense urban sprawl
VJockey (02:51:32): what are your thoughts on the situation?
swedenfc19 (02:52:26): Ranna is pondering the existential nature of strange organisation names.
tengusaur (02:52:28): Raynor: "How many times did E.V.I.L. try to take over a city already?"
Meraxa (02:52:34): Richard is... trying to comfort Yuu actually, understanding a little of how this must be getting to the guy. "C'mon, just hold out a little longer..."
Wyverncakes (02:52:44): R: "They're persistent to say the least."
Overman Zappa (02:52:49): MarKus is rocking out in the cockpit. Because it's always a good day when he gets to not be stuck on excess repair duty. Thus, we ROCK!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JABwTOYg-vU
macprysm (02:53:25): Yuu's feeling pretty good, all things considered. He's starting at 120% due to all the ace bonuses from the last mission. X-Buster's still fine, too! And now EVIL's done goofed: They put Oishi out in the open, where he can easily rescue her. "Do not worry, Richard. I have full confidence that we will rescue her today, and free the city from EVIL."
Meraxa (02:54:02): Richard: ...You mean the group or the concept...?
tengusaur (02:54:10): Raynor: "I hope you will be able to get through to her."
Wyverncakes (02:54:29): Lynn: "I think with the two of them it's synonymous."
VJockey (02:55:02): As the crew gets closer though...
VJockey (02:55:08): they'll notice a crowd...
swedenfc19 (02:55:16): Ranna: "There was some ancient Terran philosopher who speak of forms. Perhaps in this case they are attempting to reach that form with the word for their group."
VJockey (02:55:36): made up of almost all of the male population of the city actually...
Overman Zappa (02:55:41): "Wait... what now? Rescue 'her'?" Damnit MarKus, pay more attention!
Meraxa (02:56:33): Richard: ...Thats a lot of guys. And only guys in fact.
macprysm (02:56:41): Yuu: OF COURSE! Today is the day that I awaken Oishi from her brainwashing, and we return with her at my side!
VJockey (02:56:48): In fact you'll notice that every person who's hit puberty and passed it was pretty much there. And there were severel mecha with them as well
VJockey (02:56:49): and...
VJockey (02:57:02): they were standing in front of a massive statue/podium
Wyverncakes (02:57:03): Lynn: "Where's the women then?"
VJockey (02:57:10): Yuu
tengusaur (02:57:23): Raynor: "Something really weird is going on here..."
VJockey (02:57:27): the person the Statue is modeled after
VJockey (02:57:32): you'd know who it is
VJockey (02:57:34): in fact
Wyverncakes (02:57:38): She's already getting into REVIVAL just to be safe though.
macprysm (02:57:39): Yuu: ...N-no way! Why is there...?!
Overman Zappa (02:57:45): MarKus raises an eyebrow. "Oooooh... brainwashing. And that's Yuu's girlfriend. Alright... time to turn it up on the hero dial! You'd better keep up with me Technica!"
VJockey (02:57:45): the crowd is practically chanting her name.
VJockey (02:57:58): "OISHI! OISHI! OISHI!"
Overman Zappa (02:58:21): "Oishi! Oishi! Oishi!" MarKus starts doing it too...
tengusaur (02:58:33): Raynor: "The brainwashing is spreading!"
macprysm (02:58:35): Yuu: ...How dare they address her so familiarly....
macprysm (02:58:50): Yuu: UNFORGIVABLE!
Overman Zappa (02:58:52): MarKus stops and starts laughing. He managed to troll someone!
VJockey (02:59:17): And then the crowd goes
Wyverncakes (02:59:24): And REVIVAL is going to slap the Type-T Technica.
swedenfc19 (02:59:26): Ranna: "Defection, brainwashing or mindcontrol?"
VJockey (02:59:39): absolutely wild when the lady herself steps into view... at the top of her own statue no less.
Wyverncakes (02:59:44): Lynn: "Now's not the time for this!"
VJockey (02:59:45): Oishi-ception at its finest.
Meraxa (02:59:55): Richard: ...Yuu, that her?
VJockey (03:00:00): http://safebooru.org//images/658/0c53a9213c8d6f651a29a9397187df34.jpeg?663584
VJockey (03:00:16): "Well hello my lovely boys~"
Wyverncakes (03:00:19): R: "... Lynn, why is that girl a cat?"
macprysm (03:00:22): Yuu: All three fit EVIL's MO...they're not above using any underhanded tricker...
Overman Zappa (03:00:27): MarKus: "HEY! There's always time for not being stressed out and serious!"
Wyverncakes (03:00:30): "For that matter why do we always seem to meet people who are animals?"
tengusaur (03:00:42): Raynor: "...Was she always a catgirl maid?"
macprysm (03:00:52): Yuu: She's definately human! It's got to be some kind of wierd fetish outfit....
VJockey (03:00:55): Her tone was sultry to say the least. And devious... and FILTHY with all sorts of lascivious undertones.
VJockey (03:01:17): Yuu. Would you say this is completely unlike your PURE AND WONDERFUL SOON TO BE WAIFU?
Wyverncakes (03:01:34): If R had muscles they'd be twitching right now.
Overman Zappa (03:01:37): MarKus: "Hey, that look is reserved for Witches only... That's gotta be some costume BS>'
Wyverncakes (03:01:48): No offense ninjaman, but this kind of devotuion, well...
macprysm (03:02:01): Yuu: YES, MYSTERIOUS NARRATOR! THIS...this is absurd! Did we transfer dimensions with Teppelin somehow?!
macprysm (03:03:04): X-Buster is going to charge ahead to stop this travesty, landing between the statue and people and pointing dramatically!
VJockey (03:03:39): "... Well well well..."
VJockey (03:04:01): "If it isn't my ex-boyfriend..."
tengusaur (03:04:17): Raynor: "Watch out, the people will probably attack if you rush in! They're innocent, just controlled!"
macprysm (03:04:21): Yuu: OISHIIIII!!!! What have they done to my beautiful and pure maiden! You're stripping away the moral boundaries of the many youths watching us this week!
Overman Zappa (03:04:53): MarKus winces at that 'ex'boyfriend remark.
Meraxa (03:05:05): Richard: ...Uh, Y-Yuu...
VJockey (03:05:10): With that Oishi leans from her perch lazily with a grin. Down below the crowd practically howls in exultation at the fact that her cleavage is just a little bit more in their view.
VJockey (03:05:24): Yuu, you're kinda getting an eyeful here as well.
VJockey (03:05:34): "Moral boundaries?"
VJockey (03:05:47): "You mean the ones I had to put up with in order to even get along with you?"
macprysm (03:05:47): Yuu's not too worried about a mob of people assaulting a giant robot. He will blush heavily, though!
swedenfc19 (03:06:04): Ranna sighs at the crowd. "This is a rather sad look of humanity right now."
VJockey (03:06:15): "Honestly... do you want to know what I thought of our time together Yuu?"
VJockey (03:06:22): "It made me sick."
Overman Zappa (03:06:35): MarKus isn't phased. His girlfriend is pretty stacked too so... that's just everyday view for him.
VJockey (03:06:39): Her tone turned from seductive and sultry to downright venomous and bitter.
VJockey (03:07:08): The excited crowd down below seemed to sense her dark mood and suddenly clammed up into an eerie silence.
VJockey (03:07:09): Yes.
VJockey (03:07:20): It was clear that whatever was happening with them...
VJockey (03:07:23): she was in control.
VJockey (03:08:02): "Having to pretend to be something I wasn't. Having to act the part of a weak and simple and pure little wench to be your damn arm candy."
macprysm (03:08:04): Yuu: W-w-what? Oishi...you and I, we were...for nearly 5 long years, the two of us were happy...inseperable...
macprysm (03:08:17): Yuu: What's you're saying is absolutely absurd!
VJockey (03:08:22): "Absurd..."
VJockey (03:08:26): "ABSURD?!"
Wyverncakes (03:08:37): Lynn: "And what were you even trying to get in the first place then?"
tengusaur (03:08:40): Raynor: "Yuu... Remember that possibility I mentioned to you?"
tengusaur (03:08:50): Raynor: "I think it turned out to be true..."
Overman Zappa (03:09:00): MarKus: "Yuu. I have one very, very serious question for you. Knock of the heroics for a minute and answer seriously." Hell Technica even lays hands on X-Buster.
VJockey (03:09:05): The crowd was now roaring in dissatisfaction, practically throwing debris, cans, everything they could get their hands on at the X-Buster.
VJockey (03:09:18): And the Technica too since it was close by.
VJockey (03:09:36): ...Hell... EVERYONE from the chalice is getting pelted by the mob.
VJockey (03:09:38): and...
Overman Zappa (03:10:03): MarKus: "Are you 100% certain she was nothing like this before."
swedenfc19 (03:10:44): Well. Ranna has been in that situation before - back on some of the planets in Clan Wolf's Occupation Zone. So she is still calm.
VJockey (03:10:53): (Enemies: Refurbished Zaku-II x4, AcGuy x2, Refurbished GM x2, Ground FLAG x1)
VJockey (03:11:01): Remember those Mecha with the crowd?
macprysm (03:11:06): Yuu's simply quiet as the mob pounds on the foot of the X-Buster, his eyes shadowed over as he broods on his thoughts.
VJockey (03:11:12): They're raising their weapons aggessively.
Wyverncakes (03:11:37): Great... dealing with an angry, unruly mob.
Overman Zappa (03:11:39): MarKus: "YUU! Think, and answer the question!"
Wyverncakes (03:11:54): And dealing with them with giant robots, no less.
Wyverncakes (03:11:56): HOWEVER!
VJockey (03:12:01): (Initiative: Yuu, MarKus, Lynn, Ranna, Richard, Raynor)
macprysm (03:12:08): Yuu: "Oishi...so then, all of it was an act...just to get close to the X-Buster?"
Wyverncakes (03:12:24): Lynn's cycling through the weapon warp-in selections...
VJockey (03:12:28): "Half of it."
macprysm (03:12:32): Yuu: "....I owe my old man an apology, if I ever see him again..."
Wyverncakes (03:12:40): "Everyone, I *might* be able to disable the people on the ground."
VJockey (03:12:54): "I was wondering for a little while you know."
Wyverncakes (03:12:56): R: "Yuu, at least you're realizing your folly."
VJockey (03:13:06): "That maybe good felt good."
Overman Zappa (03:13:16): MarKus: "Aww fuck... Fine, looks like I'll have to be the hero of love and justice today. YOU stand here and be a baby, YUU!" Unintentional word play.
VJockey (03:13:18): "Then having to put up with you for those five years"
tengusaur (03:13:22): Raynor: "That's disable disable, and not an euphemism, right?"
VJockey (03:13:23): "Made me realise..."
VJockey (03:13:29): "That GOOD IS FOR SUCKERS!!!"
VJockey (03:13:42): "And not the fun kind!"
VJockey (03:14:10): "Boys!"
tengusaur (03:14:15): Raynor: "These mecha pilots are controlled by her. We have to try to disable them too!"
VJockey (03:14:31): "Do sweet little ol' me a favor and clean up the trash!"
Wyverncakes (03:14:32): Lynn: "I'm not a monste!"
Overman Zappa (03:14:39): MarKus makes a display of twirling his own custom shot lancer and posing. "Time to knock some sense into this bit-titty kitty."
Wyverncakes (03:14:42): And yeah, she's done her fair share of blowing up innocent people, no desire for more.
VJockey (03:14:53): (Yuu, MarKus go!)
macprysm (03:14:55): Yuu's grinning. Somehow. A teardrop hits the floor of his cockpit, but his face is twisted in some kind of half-insane grin. His voice is absolutely level as he speaks. "Gentlemen. Do not lay a hand upon her. She is my target."
Wyverncakes (03:14:59): "But the armory's stock of grenades covers a huge range of types..."
Wyverncakes (03:15:05): ^monster
Overman Zappa (03:15:25): (Inquiry about the obvious equipment on the GM's)
swedenfc19 (03:16:02): Ranna: "We need to lure the mechs away if possible. Even disabling the crowd, collateral damage is almost certain in this density of bodies."
VJockey (03:16:08): (The GMs are equipped with Beam Rifles. Not the piddly Beam Spray guns, but the sort you'd find on modern MS)
VJockey (03:16:32): Yuu.
Meraxa (03:16:35): Richard: I may have something, if you give me a moment...
VJockey (03:16:36): There's something else as well...
macprysm (03:17:16): Yuu: That twisted way of thinking, instilled in you by EVIL. Regardless of the past, I'll show you the truth of righteous fury, Oishi Evilman. Because I know in my heart...sometimes, love hurts.
macprysm (03:18:03): "ANCHOR CHAAAAAAAAIN!" The X-Buster lashes out at its rocket anchor at the statue, aiming right for the busom! +
Overman Zappa (03:18:12): Gripping the Anti-Beam cloak/scarf around the Technica ll's neck, he hefts the beam-spear in the other hand, and charges one of the GM's, thrusting straight for the gun-wielding arm+
VJockey (03:18:31): Yuu, if you didn't have tunnel vision on Oishi, you would have noticed a group of five cloaked figures that had been with her.
Overman Zappa (03:18:43): MarKus: "No damnit! You're doing it wrong! You don't punish her, you knock some sense into her so she can FEEL how much you LOVE her! Don't fuck this up right away!"
VJockey (03:19:21): Said five promptly leaped off the statue when you launched that rocket anchor at the statue - and there was a bright burst of light!
VJockey (03:19:30): Yuu... t
Wyverncakes (03:19:33): R: "I think his current approach is be- Yuu! Watch out!"
swedenfc19 (03:19:35): Ranna: "Is there the possibility that you have not been that.. excellent of a partner in the 5 years for her to feel that being 'good' is not the optimal path?"
tengusaur (03:19:39): Raynor: "I don't think that's how it works either... Watch out!"
VJockey (03:19:44): *there was a large figure holding onto the anchor now...
VJockey (03:20:40): You suddenly find yourself pulled forward and a truly GIGANTIC FIST filling your vision!
VJockey (03:20:49): Your future will be pain unless you REACT!
macprysm (03:21:34): Ranna, Yuu has no idea what you'd be talking about! He's too busy dodging a giant fist to respond, bringing the machine low underneath the fist and into a spin to reel the chain back in!+
VJockey (03:22:16): MarKus! The GM lowers its rifle to fend you off with its shield! Letting the beam spear dig into it in order for the other GM to smash technica upside the head and aim the rifle for a point blank shot! REACT NOW.
VJockey (03:22:44): Yuu. Normally that would have worked....Normally....
VJockey (03:22:51): but before you could move away completely...
VJockey (03:23:02): the fist suddenly extends forward at a rapid pace!
macprysm (03:23:15): Yuu: R-rocket punch?!
VJockey (03:23:30): Catching the X-Buster in the head with a tooth rattling strike and sending you sailing over the crowd!
VJockey (03:23:35): As for your anchor...
Meraxa (03:23:46): Richard: Oh geez!
VJockey (03:23:55): a whiplike blade from one of the other large figures next to it cuts it off from its companion...
Overman Zappa (03:23:58): *THAT WHY HIS SCARF IS ANTI-BEAM! So he could actually defend that shit, even at the cost of the scarf itself! +
VJockey (03:24:07): the five toss off their cloaks....
VJockey (03:24:09): and...
VJockey (03:24:16): the crowd goes absolutely wild.
VJockey (03:24:22): http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/529f9dba12c24d36a6a9e47d6e45b341.png
VJockey (03:25:08): (UPDATED enemy list: JAEGIRL Brigade (x5), Refurbished Zaku-II x4, AcGuy x2, Refurbished GM x2, Ground FLAG x1)
Wyverncakes (03:25:33): Lynn: "More robot women?"
Overman Zappa (03:25:34): MarKus turns his head too. "Woah, those are pretty fuckin sweet..."
tengusaur (03:25:35): (are they human-sized or mecha-sized?)
VJockey (03:25:50): "Oh come on Yuu... did you really think I'd stay cold fish after I left you?"
VJockey (03:25:55): "Meet my girls~"
Wyverncakes (03:25:56): R: "E.V.I.L. seems to enjoy that, doesn't it?"
VJockey (03:26:47): (Lynn, Ranna)
tengusaur (03:26:54): Raynor: "For a second I thought the promised reinforcements from that faraway robot planet arrived..."
Meraxa (03:26:56): Richard: ...They were... generous, with the designs, werent they?
macprysm (03:27:06): Yuu: Dolls, obedient and without free will, absolutely loyal to the cause. What sort of evil orgainzation wouldn't enjoy that?
Wyverncakes (03:27:37): R: "At any rate, Lynn... we need to deal with the people on foot! Did you find it yet?"
macprysm (03:27:45): Yuu: Oishi...don't tell me that's what this is about...
swedenfc19 (03:27:47): (Are the MS standing among the crowd still?)
Wyverncakes (03:27:50): Lynn: "Almost... I... wait, what's this new 'Durandal' thing..."
VJockey (03:27:55): MarKus! Good news, that beam Scarf tanks the hit. Bad news. The Other GM just decides to drop its rifle use both hands on its shield like a metal chair and smash the Technica with it! You're sent staggering close towards a building.
tengusaur (03:27:57): Raynor: "You make it sound like they're used for much more nefarious things..."
VJockey (03:28:04): (The MS are at the edges of it.)
macprysm (03:28:20): Yuu: You told me you didn't mind waiting for marriage...that you would remain pure until we were ready...
Wyverncakes (03:28:31): * They'd worry about it later though! Instead, Lynn has the REVIVAL touchdown near the edge of the mob, hoping the machine's small size will entice the men to chase after it!&
macprysm (03:28:44): Yuu: EVIL truly has corrupted you, havn't they...
VJockey (03:28:57): "and there we go again with corruption."
tengusaur (03:29:00): (are they human-sized or mecha-sized?)
Overman Zappa (03:29:04): MarKus: "YUU! SHE'S FUCKING WITH YOUR HEAD! FOCUS! This isn't mind control, it's just damn sex appeal!"He still wants to believe that SHE'S under mind control.
VJockey (03:29:04): Oishi rolls her eyes.
VJockey (03:29:07): (Mecha sized)
VJockey (03:29:16): (they can size shift)
VJockey (03:30:39): Lynn, the gambit works, the crowd is rushing towards you...
VJockey (03:30:41): actually
VJockey (03:30:49): holy crap that's a lot of people
VJockey (03:31:16): its like there's a swarm of angry rats charging an unsuspecting farmer who has opened his barn door
VJockey (03:31:23): react before they pull you down!
swedenfc19 (03:31:26): Ranna flies towards the status, above the crowd, before firing her PPC at a Zaku, and the trio of beam cannons at another, angling such that even if they miss, they will be firing outside the crowd.+
swedenfc19 (03:32:01): Ranna: "I still do not understand this Earth Sphere concept of avoiding physical pleasure until after a ceremony."
Wyverncakes (03:32:42): R: "Like moths to a flame."
Wyverncakes (03:32:47): Lynn: "And it's time to light it up!"
Overman Zappa (03:32:49): MarKus: "It varies from person to person Ranna. Some people are stiffs like Yuu. And some are just nervous and not mentally prepared like me."
swedenfc19 (03:33:08): Ranna: "Stiff in what way?"
macprysm (03:33:14): Yuu: "S-stiff?!"
tengusaur (03:33:21): Raynor: "Are you sure this is a good time to discuss this?"
Overman Zappa (03:33:24): MarKus coughs. Then laughs. "God damnit!"
VJockey (03:33:34): Ranna! The first Zaku attempts to boost away - however getting caught by the backwash causes the aged systems to fault and makes it stumble - moreso after the blasts made impact on the ground close by. If Lynn didn't draw the people away, there would be something of a mess... as for the other, its head and legs are carved off... and some of a building is opened up by the fire as well and-...
VJockey (03:33:36): oh HELL
VJockey (03:33:49): peeking out from the slagged walls are several frightened women
Wyverncakes (03:33:56): * Wormholes appear around REVIVAL, dumping a slew of light-blue grenades into its hands! It chucks a few into the air before rolling some more into the crowd instead! And after a second? BANG! There's a tremendous release of light accompanied by a deafening crack!+
VJockey (03:33:56): Well now you know where all of them went
VJockey (03:34:05): they were locked inside the buildings!
swedenfc19 (03:34:11): Ranna: "We know where the female population are now."
VJockey (03:34:25): Oishi was laughing maniacally now.
Overman Zappa (03:34:35): MarKus: "As in not flexible in their opinion! They're stuck on the idea and won't change their ways unless you kind of break them. Which is usually bad."
tengusaur (03:34:36): Raynor: "Keeping people in the buildings as hostages? This just got even more complicated... We need to be extra careful!"
VJockey (03:34:42): "They had... issues about my fanclub..."
macprysm (03:34:44): Yuu: ...that's horrid. Are you truly enjoying yourself, Oishi?"
Wyverncakes (03:34:47): Lynn's biting her lip.
VJockey (03:35:10): "But my lovely boys didn't like getting kept from their one and only mistress~"
Wyverncakes (03:35:11): Oishi definitely went into this prepared.
VJockey (03:35:26): I have to wonder...
VJockey (03:35:48): "can you get through this fight without being able to hurt any of them?"
VJockey (03:36:04): "After all Yuu... I've been in the X-Buster before"
VJockey (03:36:10): She smirks evilly.
macprysm (03:36:15): Yuu grimaces. "You were always a brilliant thinker. You even helped build this guardian robot, after all, as well as helping build several of the strategic sims I went through in training..."
tengusaur (03:36:21): Raynor: "If we couldn't, we wouldn't deserve to call ourselves heroes."
swedenfc19 (03:36:24): Ranna nods. "That I can understand. Many Clans are stuck in their ways."
VJockey (03:36:47): (Team Paladin! Go!)
tengusaur (03:38:58): * Raynor drives around the battleground in a wide arc that avoids getting even close to the civilians! His aim - the group of the new enemies! As his bike passes by the red-clothed robot girl, he slashes his sword at her, golden flash of light following its blade!+
Overman Zappa (03:38:58): MarKus gets to thinking a bit, but... he's not that... "But there's some who just aren't ready or... are too busy and wanna sa- Whatever... Ray's right. We'll talkabout this later. For now, someone has to slap some sense into that girl."
tengusaur (03:39:10): (Paragon is in its Paladin form.)
Meraxa (03:40:34): Richard: Not only that... but I've sworn to ensure the innocent aren't hurt by things like this. IDEIGI! *And so in a beam of light, the great paladin rises, towering above many of its contempoaries, and turns to the Jaegirls.* So Ladies, lets see you take on someone your own size. *Discounting the X-Buster's presence for a moment, Richard has Ideigi charge up two solar fists... before letting them fly towards the enemy!* SOLAR PUNCH!+
VJockey (03:42:55): Raynor! Red is a blur of action as you attempt to slash at her! Her hands are swift and catch your Evil Smiting blade between a pair of razor fans and - using your momentum her third hand grabs at Paragon's arm and she flips onto the bike as she disarms the Magic Powered GM with a sly smile all the while! React to your unexpected passenger!
tengusaur (03:44:38): * "Who makes a robot with three arms anyway?" Raynor does something unexpected - namely, Paragon jumps off the bike! "Pegasus! To the sky, away from the city!" The bike, controlled by the Shadow creature inside it, follows his order and starts to leave the battlefield, with its passenger on it! +
VJockey (03:45:21): Lynn! The sensory overload has several people crashing into the ground in pain! The younger ones are curled up holding their eyes and crying... a necessary evil sadly. But most of the crowd was out of it for now.
tengusaur (03:46:11): Raynor: "As soon as you're out of the city, throw her to the ground!"
Wyverncakes (03:47:03): Lynn: "Now we just need to kep the fight away from them."
VJockey (03:48:04): Richard! You'll find the one that took on Yuu moments ago rushing at you, the Solar Punches struck her. Hard... but she was charging at you like a massive wall of steel and catches Ideigi in a brutal headlock and holds the metal knight steady! The Jaegirl with the orange visor was charging now leaping up as rockets flared on one of her elbows! REACT OR GET ROCKET ELBOW PUNCHED!
Wyverncakes (03:48:21): # Richard
VJockey (03:48:26): (approved)
Wyverncakes (03:49:05): * With Richard in danger, there's only one thing to do! Screw over the Jaegirl's rocket punch with a pair of freezing grenades chucked at that arm!+
VJockey (03:51:38): Raynor! Slight problem with that... those arms that were holding those fans? Well they holstered them... so that was good... but they were holding onto Paragon and that was bad. In fact she was pulling a rapid hand-stand over the magimecha and-... this might be a problem because she just managed to somehow flip Pegasus right over along with you. Street has been eaten as the three of you hit the ground. She took some damage from the manuever though so you know you aren't alone in feeling the pain.
tengusaur (03:52:20): Raynor: "Tch... Not an easy one to beat, I see. Very well then, it's a challenge!"
VJockey (03:52:35): Lynn! Your freezing grenades manage to stop her cold! No pun intended. Her rocket powered punch stops short and should give Richard enough time to break out from the big one's hold!
VJockey (03:52:43): (Richard, take your react)
VJockey (03:52:50): (Yuu, MarKus)
macprysm (03:55:38): Yuu looks back at Oishi, then down at the robot girls standing between him and her. "You robot girls are in the way!" He leaps off the building he's standing on, winding up a Rocket Punch of his own as he leaps towards the white-shelled girl with the cannons. "This FIST OF JUSTICE will end you!" +
Overman Zappa (03:55:41): *These GM's need to quit trying to fire MarKus. With everyone else showing off and being generally a cut above, MarKus actually retreats from the engagement, but at Mach 1 speeds; only to circle around and slam into the GM from the left with the beam spear again!+
Meraxa (03:55:42): Richard: You think this'll be enough?! *And the robot's arms are throw upwards to grab the JAEGIRL'S head, attempting to toss her over as Ideigi flips...! Albeit trying very very hard to miss any potential buildings or citizens. Admittedly going to their 'own size' wasn't quite so smart.+
VJockey (03:58:16): Yuu! Your attack sends your target frighteningly close to a building! She's banged up too. She probably doesn't have that much shielding.... however.... she stands back up and wipes her nose with the back of her hand... dusting herself off... there's a look in her eyes. Fierce Determination. She's running right at you - keeping low and letting loose with a thundering uppercut! React!
macprysm (04:00:34): Yuu: "BUSTER BEEEEEEEEEAM!" Eye lasers will meet her as she charges, aimed right at her shoulder. Because Yuu's learned something during his time with the Chalice: You can't punch someone without an arm!+
VJockey (04:01:03): Richard! As you attempt to throw the Jaegirl you'll notice one slight problem... there's a flash and she's not in your hands anymore!... In fact you can see her land at the edges of the crowd, human sized once more and giving you a mocking smirk - slamming her larger pair of hands together before returning to full size again. She gives you a 'come hither' motion with her smaller hand - clearly singling you out from the others.
VJockey (04:04:37): Yuu... that was...
VJockey (04:06:27): The beam... misses. The Jaegirl in question rolls to the side before pouncing at the X-Buster - keeping its hands occupied but... that wasn't the problem here...
Wyverncakes (04:07:12): Lynn: "A-aaaah!"
VJockey (04:07:46): The beam that missed struck a building. While it didn't devastate it... you can see from the hole it made that someone got hurt from the blast. There's a young girl, curled up and wailing in pain - one of the other hostages trying to help her. And for one horrifying moment...
macprysm (04:08:00): Yuu: W-what! You're a terrible lady, dodging and hurting those people, you know that!
VJockey (04:08:05): every person he could see in that building was looking at the X-Buster in undisguised horror and fear.
VJockey (04:09:53): CT: "Terrible? You could have fought me with your bare hands! You didn't have to use a ranged attack - but you did. A true hero of justice would have done everything he could to avoid injuring people, even if its to his detriment!"
VJockey (04:10:23): (Cookie for people in OoC who can guess what CT stands for)
macprysm (04:10:32): Yuu: Impossible! A true hero would never lay his hands on a lady!
VJockey (04:10:40): CT: "Besides... I'm only stalling you."
Wyverncakes (04:10:43): Lynn: "After everything you've done here..."
Wyverncakes (04:10:57): "You're going to try to preach morals to the people who came to stop you?!?"
tengusaur (04:11:03): Raynor: "Does it really matter if you use your hands or beams?"
tengusaur (04:11:24): Raynor: "...And I didn't know they can talk."
VJockey (04:11:44): Yuu! There's a roar of jet engines in the air. It seems Oishi is no longer on her Perch...
Overman Zappa (04:12:05): MarKus: "Man... props to the guy who built them. Wonder if Lilly would be jealous of their size changing properties."
VJockey (04:12:06): there's a fighter craft heading towards the X-Buster but what could it possibly-
VJockey (04:12:15): wait
VJockey (04:12:22): It just landed on the X-Buster.
VJockey (04:12:23): Yuu!
VJockey (04:12:35): Your mecha's systems are going haywire!
macprysm (04:12:44): Yuu: Distracting me from wha...?! EH?
macprysm (04:13:11): Yuu: Impurities...invading the body...what the heck is this?!
VJockey (04:13:51): MarKus! You manage to disable the GM - sending it crashing into the ground but now it seems that the other MS are dogpiling you! AcGuys, the remaining Zaku and GM...and the Ground FLAG! React!
VJockey (04:14:13): Oishi: "Remember how I had time to work on the X-Buster Yuu?"
VJockey (04:14:17): "Well I do~"
VJockey (04:14:40): "In fact I used it to write a program that would let me take control of it."
VJockey (04:14:51): "Of course I would have to have a direct connection."
VJockey (04:14:59): "Oh wait, I have that right now!"
VJockey (04:15:23): With that she lets out a truly evil laugh as her face appears on all of Yuu's screens.
Overman Zappa (04:15:27): *Can these other guys reach Mach 1 speeds? Let's see if they can, and get mad ups! Heading straight upward, the Techinca ll purges it's armor to gain some sweet orange glowing. "CAST OFF!"+
tengusaur (04:15:58): Raynor: "Damn! Do you still have ANY kind of control, Yuu?"
macprysm (04:16:03): Yuu: "...n-no way...X-Buster, move! Get her off me!" Yuu tries to move the X-Buster's arm to get her off...
VJockey (04:16:11): Nothing.
VJockey (04:16:12): Yuu.
VJockey (04:16:18): The controls aren't working at all.
VJockey (04:16:46): And to add to this festival of problems...
VJockey (04:17:26): Several beam blasts from out of practically nowhere were firing towards multiple buildings!!!
Wyverncakes (04:17:45): Lynn: "What?!?"
VJockey (04:18:09): Except...
VJockey (04:18:15): these don't penetrate at all...
tengusaur (04:18:33): Raynor: "What is this?!"
VJockey (04:18:46): Lynn. You'll be getting serious case of Deja Vu... because these blasts are BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE AT YOU!
VJockey (04:18:49): REACT!!!!!
Wyverncakes (04:19:18): Lynn: "Bouncing blasts...!?!"
swedenfc19 (04:19:34): Ranna looks around, trying to place the source.
Wyverncakes (04:20:03): * Yeah, she's deja vuing hard... but fortunately there's some backup for her too! R's already having the VeHA take to the air to evade, angling its shield down for protection as well.+
VJockey (04:20:12): MarKus. It certainly helps that the pilots you were fighting were nothing more than hormonally charged 'zombies' as it were. They crash into a pile and their pilots are struggling to untangle themselves so its safe to count them out.
VJockey (04:20:55): Lynn! The blasts are evaded and otherwise fended off... but that shield has been awfully chewed up...
Wyverncakes (04:21:23): Lynn: "R, can you trace back where they all came from yet?"
Wyverncakes (04:21:27): R: "I'm working on it still!"
VJockey (04:21:29): Simoun: "Hello Icarus Bomber.... I see you've managed to live long enough for us to meet again."
Wyverncakes (04:22:11): Lynn: "It's her!"
VJockey (04:22:21): (Updated enemy list)
tengusaur (04:22:57): Raynor: "Not the best time to enter a fight!"
VJockey (04:23:18): (Yellow: Cromwell (Simoun Tyler), Valhallan Gloucester x2)
Wyverncakes (04:23:45): Lynn: "Blitz Valhalla again..."
Wyverncakes (04:24:15): "If you're here to use the Izanami Virus we won't let you!"
VJockey (04:24:29): (Red: X-Buster/Seducer (Oishi Evilman), JAEGIRL Brigade (x5))
VJockey (04:24:52): Simoun: "I'm not here for the virus Icarus..."
VJockey (04:25:07): Simoun: "My only concern is you. Everything else here is secondary."
VJockey (04:25:11): (Lynn, Ranna)
Wyverncakes (04:25:40): "I'm really that much of a concern for you?"
Wyverncakes (04:25:45): R: "So be it."
tengusaur (04:25:53): Raynor: "I don't suppose there's a way to persuade them to help us protect the civilians, is there?"
Wyverncakes (04:26:11): REVIVAL's already drawing its pistols out again.
Wyverncakes (04:26:35): R: "Lynn, this is a chance we can't pass up. If we can capture her-"
Wyverncakes (04:26:54): Lynn: "-Then we can et some answers out of her about what Takeda and Volschoft are aiming for!"
Wyverncakes (04:27:20): * She doesn't need further persuasian and instead has REVIVAL make its move towards the Cromwell, peppering it with handgun fire!+
Wyverncakes (04:27:24): ^get some answers
swedenfc19 (04:27:55): Ranna shrugs at the exchange, and goes after a Jaegirl (whichever is not engaged) - firing at long-range for now with her ERPPC, and careful not to go for angles where misses may hit another building.+
VJockey (04:33:20): Lynn! The Cromwell is weaving past the shots with insane mobility, so far it doesn't use any of its weapons until... it raises one of its arms and FIRES it. Surprise! The entire arm was a rocket anchor! React!
Wyverncakes (04:34:17): Lynn: "What?!?"
Wyverncakes (04:34:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H1uWMRrv7w
Wyverncakes (04:34:32): R: "Well her old KMF had a lot of those sorts of things!"
VJockey (04:34:50): Ranna! The Jaegirl you have engaged dodges the shot - her body convulses a little from the passing shot but she manages to shake it off - the barest of twitches remaining as she charges - the scissor-like blades on her arms readied to carve the battlemech open!
Wyverncakes (04:34:55): * R counters the best way it can, chucking what's left of the machine's shield at the arm to knock it away, and bolt to the side.+
VJockey (04:35:29): ES: "I hope you're ready to get your rear end handed to you... because that's what's going to happen!"\
VJockey (04:35:40): (Richard, Raynor)
Meraxa (04:37:10): Richard: Your allies got a whole lot rowdy... *Considering his surroundings better now, Richard decides that instead of going far, he'll try to keep things up close and personal. Thus the Paladin Blade is drawn, and then swung from above at CA!+
swedenfc19 (04:37:14): Ranna zigzags sideways, even as she brings the LBX autocannon into play, still somehow angling shots as she pushes the Lowe Gear Xtreme(TM) thrusters' performance.
VJockey (04:37:53): Lynn! The shield is snapped in half like a kit-kat bar. Between the needle blazer impacts and the rocket-claw it couldn't take much more. Simoun doesn't press her attack.. but she didn't really HAVE to because within moments the Valhallans are letting loose machinegun fire at the VeHa while downright tearing across the surfaces of the buildings! There was no way any normal KMF would have THAT sort of ability with its Land-Spinners!+
tengusaur (04:38:00): Raynor: "Watch out Yuu, let me help you! Paragon of Compassion! Change, Bard Form!"
VJockey (04:38:02): *React again I mean
Wyverncakes (04:39:01): Lynn: "Just... what did do you even do with your machines?!?"
tengusaur (04:39:27): * Paragon changes into its yellow-armored form - which also happens to be the fastest, and the most accurate! Raynor takes good aim with his handgun and then opens fire at the fighter stuck to X-Buster's frame, shooting several times! And at the same time, music blares from the Paragon's speakers - improved by the Bard form, its waves enhance the speed and toughness of all allies!+
tengusaur (04:39:29): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edU0CZUNJ_g
Wyverncakes (04:39:48): Desperate times called for desperate measures, and things were taking an ugly turn for the worse! But with Raynor's buff...
VJockey (04:39:55): Richard! The Blade is caught by one of CA's massive hands... it IS digging in little by little so you KNOW you can do damage. But she just smirks and swings her other hand at you. Both are crackling with electricity!! React!
tengusaur (04:39:58): Raynor: "Time to dislodge that thing! Eat gunfire!"
Wyverncakes (04:40:00): Lynn: "Time to hope and pray..."
VJockey (04:40:15): CA: Da. But you need to me more concerned for yourself.
Wyverncakes (04:41:38): * Lynn keys in the command to warp in the armory's newest weapon, this "Durandal"! And the result leaves Lynn momentarily stunned. This gun was HUGE! Big enough that the machine had to carry it in both hands... it was big and bulky, and also packing a rather nasty bayonette spike at the end of it. But R just grabbed hold of it and fled back. "We'll try this weapon out when we've got some breathing room, Lynn!"+
Meraxa (04:43:25): Richard: About that... *And to that... Ideigi's cockpit opens up, and Richard leaps from the machine to try and catch onto some part of the massive maiden+
Meraxa (04:43:36): Richard: You're not the only one who can fight small!
VJockey (04:43:44): Raynor! Your gunfire is soon blocked by the visored Jaegirl... meanwhile Crim (I can't call it CT as those letters are taken by someone else) Is charging at you once more - fans drawn out... except... they're rotating rapidly like BUZZSAWS! React!
VJockey (04:44:42): Lynn, you take some damage from the gunfire, but Durandal's appearance takes off some of the edge!
VJockey (04:44:59): And the Buff helps too.
VJockey (04:45:26): Richard! You...
VJockey (04:45:28): uh...
VJockey (04:45:40): Do the words 'Mountain Climbing' mean anything to you?
VJockey (04:45:53): how about a trek through 'massive tracts of land'?
VJockey (04:46:01): Yeah
tengusaur (04:46:21): * Raynor: "Get out of my way! I've got a friend to save!" He quickly does a narrow turn on Pegasus' front wheel, raising a cloud of dust and getting out of there - the bike is affected by the song's increased speed as well! To make sure he's more safe, Raynor fires the rest of the revolver's bullets at the rotating fans quickly as he moves back! +
VJockey (04:46:33): She's just looking at you with a raised eyebrow and is about to try pull you off her. React.
Wyverncakes (04:46:59): Lynn: "Simoun... what do you expect to get out of coming here after me? Revenge? Just following orders?"
Wyverncakes (04:47:32): Lynn: "You've admittedly caught me at a very bad time, and R and I don't have time to deal with this!"
VJockey (04:47:41): Simoun: "...No... Not revenge"
Meraxa (04:48:01): Richard: *Realising the kind of structure she has... climb climb climb! Inside the neck collar should be good!+
VJockey (04:48:05): "In fact I have more reason to be indebted to you than to kill you Icarus..."
Wyverncakes (04:48:33): Lynn: "What?"
VJockey (04:49:01): Raynor! You didn't do any damage... but at the same time, Crim was all but slashing through the cloud of smoke! You can break through!
VJockey (04:51:19): Richard! You barely manage to avoid her hands and manage to find a nook to hide yourself in to avoid capture. You also notice... she's warm. Thankfully she can't change size because of your obstruction - so a potentially horrific death is avoided! Huzzah!
VJockey (04:52:04): Simoun: "The Icarus bombing was a disaster... Yes I know that. But then did you ever stop to think that it might have saved a life as well?"
VJockey (04:52:51): "Sometimes... something terrible for many, can be a chance for a few... something to help them..."
Meraxa (04:52:53): Richard: ...Wait, do you have actual hair? *He is... perplexed.*
VJockey (04:53:31): (MarKus go)
VJockey (04:53:48): (Yuu, attempt to retake control of your mecha from your evil ex!)
tengusaur (04:54:10): Raynor: "Robots with hair are nothing new!"
Overman Zappa (04:54:28): (Which of the Jaegirls aren't busy)
VJockey (04:54:41): (GD)
VJockey (04:54:48): (and CT)
VJockey (04:55:23): (also, you know what)
macprysm (04:55:24): Yuu's followed Richard's lead, having manually blown the hatch of the cockpit. He's been slowing scaling the X-Buster's frame mid combat...thank goodness for that Jaegirls' block, that incoming shot could have blown him off.
VJockey (04:55:29): (Lynn, Ranna. Go as well)
Meraxa (04:55:30): Richard: At this scale! It seems odd to focus on production wise! *He yells, honestly intrigued by the design philosophy*
Wyverncakes (04:56:00): R: "How does anyone benefit from a suburb being blown up?"
VJockey (04:56:42): Simoun: "It kept me from dying."
VJockey (04:56:53): "When the bombing happened my father just murdered my mother..."
VJockey (04:57:05): "I was his only witness, so I was next"
Overman Zappa (04:57:20): *Still with that faux-Trans-AM glowing, Technica ll drops down to land before Gypsie. "Alrighty missy, time to quit getting in the way of shit. Come get some of this glowing!" Pointing his beam spear, he charges in, stupid-fast as usual, only aiming to stab at her leg+
Wyverncakes (04:57:21): Lynn: "Wait..."
VJockey (04:58:11): "I remember it so easily... the lack of air, the world growing dark, trying to breath but I cant because of the hands around my neck."
swedenfc19 (04:58:18): The Verfolger continues to track the Jaegirl, as Ranna continues to place shots from the particle cannon. Her icy calm in this situation is typical, and now starts firing beam cannons as well in apparent random pattern, but in fact trying to close off any avenue of evasive manuvering.+
Wyverncakes (04:58:40): Lynn: "Is that why you stopped your friend from killing me back in Tritech? You had some sort of debt to me?"
Wyverncakes (04:58:49): "And if that's the case, why try to kill me now?!?"
VJockey (04:59:30): "Because I owe it to Patrick... as well as to Volshoft and my other comrades to try."
macprysm (05:00:02): Yuu's following his ninja teachings well, as as Oishi remains focused on the fighting, Yuu sneaks up on the Seducer, a Yuushahiro-style kunai in his hand. If he can just get inside, he'll be able to get to Oishi...
tengusaur (05:00:17): Raynor: "So it's a matter of vengeance? I'd lie if I said I don't understand..."
VJockey (05:00:31): "Icarus. In the end actions are only actions..."
VJockey (05:00:38): "Neither good nor evil."
VJockey (05:00:49): "All that matters is being true to one's self."
Wyverncakes (05:02:18): R: "And that entails aiding in terrorism."
VJockey (05:02:32): MarKus! You manage to get her in the leg! Good for you! But despite the pain she's dealing with, GD's still got size on you - there's a whip-blade rushing at your mecha! React!
VJockey (05:03:07): Simoun: "Yes."
macprysm (05:04:22): Yuu: "German Ninpo! Sturm und Drang!" And Yuu's leaping ath the Seducer's cockpit with a spinning attack! Time to see if all his training's paid off! "OISHIIIII!"+
Wyverncakes (05:04:32): Lynn: "Then you learned the wrong thing from back then. I'm sorry..."
Wyverncakes (05:04:42): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGoffp1amRw
VJockey (05:05:47): Ranna! ES is dodging wildly, but it seems each shot from the PPC was giving her more and more trouble to the point that the seemingly random shots took their toll - eventually she slams into the grouns in pain. Systems going through a multitude of errors - sections of her armor open up to reveal a missile array but even that seems to be crashing.
Wyverncakes (05:05:57): * "... But you're just spreading more of the tragedy you barely escaped from!" REVIVAL hefts the Durandal in the direction of the Cromwell and the other KMFs... and suddenly out come over three dozen missiles, spiraling and Itano Circus-ing their way towards the lot of them!+
VJockey (05:06:00): ES: W..w-h-aa- a- at.. n. n- o.o
VJockey (05:06:13): ES: C...come on- .s.s-ystem.. err-ror
Wyverncakes (05:06:21): Lynn: "You were there! You saw what happened to everyone, all the lives that were lost!"
tengusaur (05:06:55): Raynor: "Pretending you follow no morality of any kind... Is both foolish and not true!"
Wyverncakes (05:07:12): "I'm glad that... at least the Bombing saved one life, but what you've done with yourself is terrible!"
VJockey (05:07:18): Yuu! There's a loud crash as the cockpit is broken open... and a terrified shriek!
VJockey (05:07:37): You broke it open expecting to see a vile liar and betrayer!
VJockey (05:07:46): A woman who uses and manipulates people!
VJockey (05:08:22): But instead...
VJockey (05:08:52): you see the woman you fell in love with all that time ago, holding her head and looking up at you as if struggling with a great pain!
Overman Zappa (05:09:12): *MarKus pushes into the attack, ramming his own body up against hers, somewhat deliberately, but also an attempt to use his shorter stature to knock her on her ass as well. As for that whip, all he can do is duck as he puts on the pressure!+
VJockey (05:10:22): Oishi: "Y..Yuu!"
Wyverncakes (05:10:44): Lynn: "This is... the power of Durandal..."
macprysm (05:11:10): Yuu: "...Oishi...You're still in there, aren't you? You remember, don't you? The fun we used to have together. The good times, the trips to the beach, the ice cream, dances and candlelit dinners...the vow we took together, to rid this world of evil...the promise we made, to be together. Fight it, Oishi! Return to me!"
Wyverncakes (05:11:33): R: "Named after a sword with a lengthy history, and no doubt slew many a foe."
VJockey (05:11:42): Lynn! Those missiles manage to hammer at the Valhallans - while the buildings are damaged... they don't cause any harm to the hostages inside! The KMFS are sent into the ground. As for Simoun...
Wyverncakes (05:11:46): "Whoever's named these guns certainly has a good sense of names."
VJockey (05:11:55): She merely counters the missiles with more guns than god!
VJockey (05:12:02): well, more than the VeHa anyway
VJockey (05:12:28): Simoun: "I know how much people have lost Icarus..."
VJockey (05:12:38): "it would be foolish of me not to."
macprysm (05:12:41): Yuu is standing cross-armed on the console, scarf fluttering in the wind as the X-Buster just kinda...stands there, inoperable. Good thing no one's targeting it. "FIGHT IT, OISHI! RETURN TO YOUR KINDER SELF!"
VJockey (05:13:08): "But even the most horrific of acts can help the individual... just as the opposite is true..."
VJockey (05:13:24): "...If we give ourselves to the whole every single time..."
VJockey (05:13:29): "what happens to us?"
VJockey (05:14:24): MarKus!... She's.... kinda heavy... Nothing. Technica gets cut up and she kicks you back.
VJockey (05:14:33): Shooooould have thought that one through....
VJockey (05:15:10): Oishi: "Yuu... I.. I can't! T..too strong... She... she's too strong...."
Wyverncakes (05:15:16): Lynn: "If you try to help as many people as you can, then that just makes you an altruist."
VJockey (05:15:19): "I'm sorry!...I'msorry I can't..."
VJockey (05:16:06): Oishi screams loudly, grasping her head for a moment.... before looking up at Yuu and drawing a gun on him!
VJockey (05:16:18): She lets out an aggravated noise.
VJockey (05:16:31): "You know I THOUGHT I managed to keep her caged."
VJockey (05:16:48): "All that time of showing how much fun evil can be."
VJockey (05:16:58): "She aaaalmost gave in too"
swedenfc19 (05:17:00): Ranna: "Split personality?"
macprysm (05:17:30): Yuu: There's no choice...I know you're still in there, so please forgive me, my beloved....
tengusaur (05:17:34): Raynor: "I'm really not sure wat to say to this..."
tengusaur (05:17:42): Raynor: "So I will just say: Yuu, fight!"
VJockey (05:18:41): "Heh. Guess if I'm going to make her give up, I'll have to get rid of you!"
VJockey (05:18:58): Oishi pulls the trigger Yuu! React with the speed of Kenyans!
macprysm (05:19:00): Yuu: "Of course! I dedicate my all to saving you, Oishi!" Yuu whips his scarf at her gun, much like he would his ANCHOR CHAAAAAAIN!+
swedenfc19 (05:19:16): Ranna: "Knock her out, there could be someone on the Chalice that can deal with this kind of situation."
VJockey (05:19:27): (Paladins! Go!)
macprysm (05:19:34): *He also leaps backwards as the scarf wraps around her wrist, trying to pull her free from the cockpit!+
Overman Zappa (05:20:14): Admitedly MarKus wasn't... though at least, hopefully the height difference allowed him a little pillow time. "Damn... fucking bitch is huge..."
VJockey (05:20:25): Yuu! She has been disarmed but.... the scarf is grabbed and torn by another figure!
VJockey (05:20:29): Its CT!
VJockey (05:20:40): Human sized and right in front of you!
VJockey (05:21:01): CT: Can't let you do that hero.
tengusaur (05:21:10): Raynor: "Before I need to help anyone else... I need to get you out of my way!" He turns towards the three-armed robot girl, and gets off his bike.
Meraxa (05:21:17): Richard: So lets see, assuming your ear actually goes somewhere... *Richard is using that hair of Cherno's to try to climb up&
tengusaur (05:21:20): Raynor: "Paragon of Spirituality! Change, Ranger form!"
macprysm (05:21:45): Yuu: "Tch! Star Coyote..."
Overman Zappa (05:22:04): CT better be wounded being that small too! There was a beam spear in her dang leg! How can she just shrug that off...
VJockey (05:23:20): (MarKus attacked Gipsie)
VJockey (05:23:38): (Its practically up there dude)
Overman Zappa (05:23:40): (GDI Zappa)
tengusaur (05:23:54): * Paragon is dual-wielding two swords now, glowing with green energy. "You focus on attacking with many strikes from various directions. But can you keep up with this?" Raynor jumps towards Crimson Typhoon, and Paragon starts to spin in mid-air, turning into an almost literal tornado of strikes! Blades keep slashing into the robot girl at a ridiculous speed as the machine spins and spins! "WHIRLWIND STRIKE!!" +
VJockey (05:25:01): Richard! You'll find CA isn't willing to let you climb up and is repeatedly trying to grab at you... you'll also notice her larger hands are sort of mimicking that of her smaller ones..........
VJockey (05:25:13): React.
Meraxa (05:27:01): Richard: W-Whoa! Come on, can't you hit me?! *Richard deliberately baits her as he swings on the hair to try and dodge the hands, before attempting to fire off several solar punches in her ear to provoke a reaction+
VJockey (05:28:48): Raynor! CT is struggling to keep your attacks to the point that she loses her bladed fans and her more mechanical third arm! There's a flash as she hits the ground, covered with cuts and giving the Paladin a frightened look through her black locks. Even with one eye clearly robotic, she looked all the part of a helpless damsel now that he managed to strike her thorougly and disarm her!
tengusaur (05:29:56): Raynor: "Get out of here."
VJockey (05:30:02): Richard! CA is cursing in fluent russian as she struggles to rid herself of you... so frantic that she ends up striking herself in the head with one of her massive fists - extension and all. This means her travel to the ground is much more faster than usual.
VJockey (05:30:41): Now you know how Cora felt when you shot down that Crow she inadverdently had to ride down because of your solar punch.
VJockey (05:30:53): But on the plus side
VJockey (05:31:01): CA - Downed
VJockey (05:31:08): CT - Downed
VJockey (05:31:15): ES -Downed
Meraxa (05:31:16): Richard: Tally ho! *On the plus side he also knows where to jump for a softer landing. Hopefully+
VJockey (05:31:22): *Crim
VJockey (05:31:33): (CT still active. Damn those two for having the same initials)
VJockey (05:32:01): Richard!...
VJockey (05:32:03): Tree'd
VJockey (05:32:09): Someone get a ladder.
macprysm (05:32:32): Yuu cracks his neck as he looks at the girl standing between him and his beloved, standing on the back of his giant robot.
tengusaur (05:32:54): Raynor: "Richard! Can you re-summon Ideigi?"
VJockey (05:33:04): Enemies: Oishi, Coyote, GD, Simoun
VJockey (05:33:09): Everyone can go
Meraxa (05:33:45): Richard: Its... still... there...! *He groans, pointing up at the machine as he tries to clamber back to it. It hadn't just disappeared once he left the cockpit*
tengusaur (05:34:28): Raynor turns away from the downed robot girl. She's not a threat anymore. Unlike...
Wyverncakes (05:34:32): Lynn closes her eyes steeling herself as she grips her machine's controls.
VJockey (05:34:35): CT just assumes a stance, glaring down at Yuu.
Wyverncakes (05:34:54): "Simoun... ultimately I know that I've done bad things. And good things too. Sometimes they ended up intersecting; you're proof of that."
macprysm (05:34:56): Yuu: Justice. Evil. Purity. Corruption. At the end of the day, they're just words, you know? This isn't about any of that, for once. It's about the woman that I love, suffering alone in that cockpit. And the OBSTACLE standing between me and her.
VJockey (05:35:06): Oishi: "Go on Coyote-Chan, show Yuu just why you're my favorite!"
macprysm (05:35:13): Yuu: Are you sure that you want to be that Obstacle, woman?
Wyverncakes (05:35:27): "But if you're going to talk about being true to one's self, you have to learn one more thing from me too!"
Wyverncakes (05:35:39): "At the end of the day, you have to live with the consequences of your actions!"
VJockey (05:35:55): CT: "My programming allows me no other choice. My role in life is to serve Mistress Oishi to the greatest degree of my ability - no matter what her demands."
Wyverncakes (05:36:04): Lynn: "R! We're doing this!"
VJockey (05:36:09): CT: "I am her devoted servant. Her loyal retainer."
VJockey (05:36:43): CT: "You are merely the one that she chose to cast aside."
macprysm (05:37:18): Yuu: "And do you think that this is truly what she wants? Do you not feel her pain, her suffering? Her desire to be free of oppression?" Yuu is starting to slowly advance on CT, his eyes compassionate, his guard seemingly lowered.
Wyverncakes (05:37:36): * And at that, the VeHA looses another stream of missiles at the Cromwell... but additionally its bayonette fires out like a rocket anchor of its own, stabbing into a building behind and to the side of the KMF so it can deliver a fierce double kick to the machine!+
VJockey (05:37:41): CT: "She wants you defeated. That is all I know."
VJockey (05:38:34): Yuu! CT is suddenly lunging at yo, letting loose a series of punches and kicks! Because she has less shielding it means she's every bit as mobile as Crim! React!
tengusaur (05:39:12): * Raynor connects the two blades together, turning them into a bow - one whose string and arrows are both made from energy, as it turns out! He pulls the string and four arrows appear on it! "Aiming on all targets... There! MULTISHOT!" He releases the string, sending a large energy arrow flying towards each of the enemies still standing! And then does so again, and again! +
tengusaur (05:39:31): (could also count as # on Yuu, perhaps)
VJockey (05:40:06): (approved then)
VJockey (05:40:14): (Just waiting on Yuu's reaction as well)
macprysm (05:40:57): Yuu grins. He was waiting for that! He leaps back, keeping the focus on him as he sees the incoming arrow from Raynor! "Come at me then, doll! Show me your Mistress's will!"+
macprysm (05:41:44): ((I'll probably follow up if that connects. Is OK?))
VJockey (05:41:54): (ok)
swedenfc19 (05:42:04): Ranna: "If we manage to return Oishi to her former self, will they follow her as well?"
VJockey (05:42:27): Yuu! Strikes miss - then she gets hit in the back by an arrow - sending her stumbling!
VJockey (05:43:36): Raynor! GD who was still standing soon finds herself arrow'd to high heaven - she's refusing to go down... but then sometimes will isn't enough as she collapses onto the ground badly injured.
VJockey (05:43:44): Lynn...
VJockey (05:44:31): Simoun just grits her teeth and unleashes another blaze of weaponsfire at the missiles - adding the needle blazer to the mix! React!
macprysm (05:44:42): Yuu: "TO RID THIS WORLD OF EVIL!" Yuu dashes in, going for a gut check, followed by a side kick! "I WILL BECOME..." His hand collides with her face...this is a robot, after all, there's no need to hold back."THE HAMMER..." His dashing momentium carries the doll with him into the hull of the Seducer as he slams her home! "OF JUSTIIIIICE!"+
Wyverncakes (05:46:20): R: "Lynn, Fragarach!"
Wyverncakes (05:46:37): Before the words were even finished being typed out though, Lynn was warping in the blade! And from there...
Wyverncakes (05:46:38): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=IfndFSJcWQM#t=123
Wyverncakes (05:47:26): * REVIVAL charges into the thick of things, spinning the blade in its hand like a drill to power through the Cromwell's shots! "You're not gettinga way!" (to be cont.)
Wyverncakes (05:47:29): ^away
Wyverncakes (05:48:10): * The VeHA works to close the distance, and from there, deliver countless runby slashes on the Cromwell! Face! Its arms! Its legs! And then one more to pin it to the building!+
Wyverncakes (05:48:15): Lynn: "You're coming with us!"
VJockey (05:49:42): Yuu! CT tried to counter but was unable to keep up! Every counter attack foiled by another hard blow until she was slammed into the Seducer. Hard.
VJockey (05:50:25): Lynn! You manage to utterly devastate the Cromwell with each decisive strike!
VJockey (05:50:27): But...
VJockey (05:50:35): before you can fully disable it...
VJockey (05:50:41): Fragarach strikes a barrier
VJockey (05:50:55): it strikes it so hard that the VeHa is forced backwards!
Wyverncakes (05:51:15): Lynn: "What?!?"
tengusaur (05:51:34): Raynor: "She's still not done?"
Wyverncakes (05:52:20): R's already getting REVIVAL back up on its feet, drawing out its knife to try to finish the job!
Wyverncakes (05:53:09): R: "A lucky save, but shields can't protect you forever!"
VJockey (05:53:32): Simoun: !!
VJockey (05:53:41): "Those aren't mine-..."
VJockey (05:53:45): "Takeda!!!"
Overman Zappa (05:54:12): MarKus: "What about you, lady." He adresses Gypsie. "Are you the same devoted nut that she is? Because you realize you're on the losing team right now..."
macprysm (05:54:22): Yuu: Rest there for a while, robowoman. I simply need to convince Oishi to change your orders, right?
VJockey (05:54:31): Everyone
VJockey (05:54:55): Another machine has entered the field but...
VJockey (05:55:19): it doesn't seem to be doing much other than keeping that barrier between Simoun and everyone else
VJockey (05:55:25): This man....
VJockey (05:55:39): is the same one that used that bio-weapon all that time ago
VJockey (05:55:46): murdering several innocents
Wyverncakes (05:55:46): Lynn: "Takeda!"
tengusaur (05:55:56): Raynor: "You! You're the one who caused the massacre at Madrid!"
Wyverncakes (05:56:20): And R's going to shift its attention towards Takeda's machine, the Ichiryou, instead.
Wyverncakes (05:56:36): R: "Come to rescue your attack dog?"
VJockey (05:56:40): Takeda: "Really Simoun... running off without orders. I'm sure Volshoft would be most dissapointed in you." He clucks his tongue in a chiding manner. Speaking down to her with a smug sense of superiority.
VJockey (05:57:35): "In a manner of speaking... there is a little tidbit of information I felt like bringing up since the both of you are here as well."
VJockey (05:57:53): Yeah he's just going to glance at Raynor... then dismiss him as refuse.
VJockey (05:58:12): "I would appreciate it if the trash doesn't interrupt my conversation."
VJockey (05:58:32): "After all... this is a very important matter.... isn't it Greta?"
tengusaur (05:58:53): Raynor: "This trash is going to fight you now. For all the people you killed."
Wyverncakes (05:59:17): And at that...
Wyverncakes (05:59:22): The VeHA freezes.
VJockey (05:59:45): "Greta Wagner."
Wyverncakes (05:59:46): R: "... Say that name... one more time. And I won't be responsible for what I do to you."
Wyverncakes (05:59:54): Oh indeed...
VJockey (06:00:09): "After all, that is who you were based on aren't you?"
Wyverncakes (06:00:12): R's all kinds of furious now. You'd be amazed what an AI could eminate.
VJockey (06:00:13): "No. Not even that."
Wyverncakes (06:00:17): Lynn: "R..."
Wyverncakes (06:00:35): "Greta Wagner was... the wife of the man who invented Universal Alloy!"
VJockey (06:00:46): "Exactly."
VJockey (06:01:01): "Why else do you think the man would be so obsessed with his creation?"
VJockey (06:01:36): "He wanted his dead wife back. That was this RE's sole reason for existance."
Wyverncakes (06:01:56): R: "Shut up."
Wyverncakes (06:02:07): "You're just spouting what I already know."
Wyverncakes (06:02:18): "The same disgusting motivations for that pathetic man who couldn't let go."
VJockey (06:02:22): "Aaah... but what about what you don't know."
VJockey (06:03:30): "You have no idea what happened after you broke from your trivial purpose do you?"
Wyverncakes (06:03:43): R: "I don't care at all about that man. Whatever you have to have to say... I'm not listening."
VJockey (06:03:52): "After all, you were so concerned with being your own being, weren't you Greta?"
Wyverncakes (06:03:56): And that sentence was punctuated by dakka.
Wyverncakes (06:04:13): As many missiles as the Durandal had left in it... which was quite a lot, to say the least.
VJockey (06:04:23): Boom.
VJockey (06:04:30): Explosions.
VJockey (06:04:32): Many of them.
VJockey (06:05:06): But as the smoke clears, the Ichiryou is merely standing there - as unimpressed as its pilot.
VJockey (06:05:32): "Amusing.... So very amusing..."
VJockey (06:05:56): "You act like you have broken past the chains that Dr Wagner had placed upon you."
VJockey (06:06:03): "The Identity he created you with"
VJockey (06:06:23): "And yet you still act so violently whenever the merest hint of it appears before you."
tengusaur (06:06:49): Raynor: "An identity is something on which you decide yourself. Other people have no right to decide on it!"
VJockey (06:06:51): "But I think I have done what I needed to here."
VJockey (06:07:01): Simoun
VJockey (06:07:03): is gone.
tengusaur (06:07:18): Paragon enters a dual-wielding combat stance. "Prepare yourself."
VJockey (06:07:23): that smokescreen from the rockets hitting the barrier gave her the perfect oppertunity to escape.
VJockey (06:07:30): "No."
VJockey (06:07:35): "I think not."
VJockey (06:08:19): "I have no interest in dealing with something so trivial as your pathetic attempts at avenging a bunch of rats."
Wyverncakes (06:08:45): Lynn: "... Then enjoy the reprieve."
tengusaur (06:09:01): Raynor: "You're the only rat here."
Wyverncakes (06:09:04): For one, Lynn's glad that the Izanami Virus wasn't used here.
Wyverncakes (06:09:07): But on the other hand...
Wyverncakes (06:09:34): "... Takeda, sooner or later R and I are going to stop you... and you're one person I can live with killing!"
VJockey (06:09:55): "I see."
VJockey (06:10:12): "Well, that would depend on if you live long enough for that to happen."
VJockey (06:10:23): With that the Ichiryou has a sphere of energy in its hand.... and flings it at the X-Buster before fleeing!
VJockey (06:10:39): REACT!
tengusaur (06:10:43): #
VJockey (06:10:49): (Approved!)
tengusaur (06:11:50): * "Hell no!" Raynor gets in the way of that energy ball, changing back into Paladin form as he does so! And he blocks it with his shield, making the glowing Paragon symbol appear on it for extra strength!+
VJockey (06:13:38): The resulting explosion of energy was startling to say the least
VJockey (06:13:48): while it wasn't anything like what happened back at Side 6
VJockey (06:14:03): Raynor would find himself damn near falling over from the blast!
Wyverncakes (06:14:19): Lynn: "Raynor!"
VJockey (06:14:19): And as for the forces of E.V.I.L. ....
tengusaur (06:14:31): Raynor: "Gkhtt... I'm fine! Everyone, status?"
macprysm (06:15:22): Yuu: "Thank you, Paladin Raynor...there's no way to defend myself like this...."
VJockey (06:15:47): Oishi: "Alright..."
VJockey (06:15:52): "You got me......."
VJockey (06:16:15): "Just.... let me... sort something out.... and...."
tengusaur (06:16:19): Raynor: "You're welcome."
macprysm (06:16:23): Yuu: Enough, Oishi...your path of evil only hurts those around you...
VJockey (06:16:53): "... And AGAIN with the talk about good and evil"
VJockey (06:17:04): "Ugh... I'm sick of all these moral speeches!"
macprysm (06:17:20): Yuu: "Return to your kinder self...return to me!"
VJockey (06:17:39): "I have two answers for you."
VJockey (06:17:49): "Short answer. No."
VJockey (06:17:58): "Long answer?"
Overman Zappa (06:18:17): MarKus: "I'm fine... Just fine. Gonna see if this mecha chick will realize she's about to lose and back down on her own. No sense in letting a good creation go to waste."
VJockey (06:18:42): There's a sudden THUMP throughout the Seducer. Yuu! The plane is disengaging from the X-Buster and the sudden movement is about to have you fall off!
VJockey (06:19:05): MarKus?
VJockey (06:19:13): GD...
VJockey (06:19:28): Had a grin on her face as her visor flipped down.
Overman Zappa (06:19:55): Well that's an answer in and of itself. MarKus gets things charging as well... he just doesn't have any visual cues for it.
macprysm (06:19:59): Yuu: Wh-whoa! *Yuu flails and attempts to dive back into the Seducer's cockpit! He's come this far, he's not going to give up now!*
VJockey (06:20:19): There's a MASSIVE energy blast ripping out from her - lashing against the ground between her, the X-Buster and everyone else!
VJockey (06:20:39): Oishi: "..Y...Yuu!"
VJockey (06:20:59): For a moment it looks like he has a chance! Yuu! Reach out for her!
macprysm (06:21:40): Yuu: "O...Oishi!" He reaches for her, trying to bring her close, hugging her into his chest!
VJockey (06:22:06): "...This makes things much easier for me."
VJockey (06:22:08): What?
VJockey (06:22:25): BLINDING PAIN
VJockey (06:22:26): YUU
VJockey (06:22:33): SHE WAS DRAWING YOU IN FOR A CROTCH SHOT!
VJockey (06:22:56): "Coyote-Chan. Get this idiot off my plane."
macprysm (06:24:15): Yuu actually was prepared for some kind of retaliation, but...not that. He doubles over, wincing in pain. "That...that hurts...and just when...I was going to offer those to you...to show I'm not just some stiff..."
swedenfc19 (06:24:43): Ranna: "See, MarKus, I believe he is no longer stiff."
VJockey (06:24:55): "Oh please. Like you could even get stiff"
VJockey (06:25:10): "You were probably overcompensating for it with all those speeches of yours"
VJockey (06:25:29): And with that Coyote unceremoniously picks Yuu up and tosses him off the plane
Overman Zappa (06:25:32): MarKus: "Damnit Ranna! Not funny! A man just took a shot to the balls!" No, it is funny, but, later
macprysm (06:25:32): Yuu grins through the pain. "Only...only for you, my love."
swedenfc19 (06:25:35): At the same time though, she is moving her Verfolger towards the plane, ready to catch Yuu...
VJockey (06:25:37): Thankfully...
tengusaur (06:25:37): Raynor: "That's painful in more ways than one... Yuu!"
VJockey (06:26:16): Oishi: "Bye all~ Maybe I'll have you in my fanclub yet~"
swedenfc19 (06:26:29): Ranna: "Of course, with that attack, there may be issues getting stiff even if he wants to, quiaff?"
tengusaur (06:26:35): Raynor: "Don't you dare get away as well!"
Overman Zappa (06:26:44): MarKus: "Sorry bitch, I'm committed already."
VJockey (06:26:47): With that the plane soon leaves the battlefield.
macprysm (06:26:47): Yuu plummets, slightly curled up in pain.
VJockey (06:26:48): And...
swedenfc19 (06:28:02): Ranna: "Calm, pilot Raynor. It is hard for us to ensure her safety if we were to attack the plane. However, we have established some facts that indicate subverting her back to Yuu's cause is still possible."
VJockey (06:28:14): the Jaegirls are nowhere in sight.
swedenfc19 (06:28:34): Verfogler tries to catch Yuu.
VJockey (06:28:56): And Yuu probably lands face first into a metal hand.
VJockey (06:29:07): But it was probably better than a far more terminal velocity
VJockey (06:29:10): into concrete
macprysm (06:29:12): Yuu: ...Ow. My pride.
tengusaur (06:29:25): Raynor: "At least the people are safe. That was our main goal."
VJockey (06:29:30): Indeed.
Overman Zappa (06:29:32): MarKus: "yeah. If we didn't get her this time, we'll get her next time. Assumed Yuu doesn't spend too long crying over it... his girl... not that low blow.
macprysm (06:29:36): And with that, he lets himself pass out.
Wyverncakes (06:30:05): Lynn's sitting back in the VeHA as well. She's got a lot of stuff on her mind now...
Wyverncakes (06:30:17): To say nothing of R's fuming right now.
VJockey (06:30:20): The 'Fanboys' were slowly getting back to their feet, looking dazed and confused and...
Wyverncakes (06:30:25): R: "... The truth's out, isn't it?"
VJockey (06:30:40): wondering what the heck was going on and why there was a huge statue there.
VJockey (06:30:53): In any case..
VJockey (06:30:57): Mission Accomplished!
VJockey (06:31:00): Sort of
Overman Zappa (06:32:49): MarKus: "Don't think we need this thing anymore. How about a little... discharge." Having meant this for Gypsie-tan, MarKus blasts a wave of plasma from Techncia ll's foot at the statue of Oishi!
