Mission 210: "To the Wandering Blooming Flowers"
wyverncakes 7:56 pm
(7:56:30 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_3sSQ6KNgM
(7:57:04 PM): Previously, on SRW UG@!
(7:57:40 PM): The White Chalice received a handwritten message from none other than Luna, the ressurected messiah whose death brought about the Ruin in the aftermath of Second Impact.
(7:58:22 PM): For one reason or another, the enigmatic Break Man had released her from his custody, and she was waiting for us to pick her up in Australia
wyverncakes 7:58 pm
(7:58:58 PM): Though she'd also mentioned that she suspected that some other group was trying to track her down too, and thus a shuttle was sent out from the Chalice to hopefully beat these other pursuers to the punch.
(7:59:05 PM): This is where you all come in!
(7:59:49 PM): The shuttle's now entering Australian airspace, and youc an all see the massive crater spans the better part of the continent after Zeon's colony drop during the OYW... and the weather's being freakishly crazy too.
(7:59:54 PM): Then again, Australia, go figure.
(8:00:21 PM): The game plan being you all locate Luna, safely extract her, and then everything'd be sorted out afterwards.
VJockey 8:00 pm
(8:00:21 PM): Scythe's looking out the window longingly.
(8:00:31 PM): Its a crater encrusted hellhole. But its home.
wyverncakes 8:00 pm
(8:00:33 PM): How's everyone preparing themselves for this?
Mister Giggles 8:01 pm
(8:01:03 PM): Casshern wasn't even waiting for orders. He was already gearing up to head to the rendezvous point, and would launch the moment he was within gliding range of the drop zone. He left a note with Lyuze, but...
VJockey 8:01 pm
(8:01:10 PM): Meanwhile Mongrel's nursing a brused cranium for making fun of said hellhole in her presence. She's been quite a bit more agressive of late and Cora is rather concerned.
wyverncakes 8:01 pm
(8:01:46 PM): As the shuttle proceeds on, you can all notice that it's hitting more and more turblance though. Not a good sign.
Meraxa 8:02 pm
(8:02:01 PM): Boss is battening down the hatches. Literally. Almost every opening on the bot is being covered up with scrap metal.
Lake_of_Archers 8:02 pm
(8:02:05 PM): Bernie is looking out of one of the Chalice windows, in awe of the craters.
sketchbookfiend 8:02 pm
(8:02:12 PM): Yusuke was already geared up in his G1 suit, just because it saved time more than anything else. And looks like that was a good call with the turbulance.
wyverncakes 8:03 pm
(8:03:33 PM): Still though...
(8:03:52 PM): Off in the distance, waiting for you, you can make out a lone figure standing near the edge of a cliff.
(8:04:01 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEo-wJGsXeY
(8:04:23 PM): http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/rHjMpQ5r-38/hqdefault.jpg
Mister Giggles 8:04 pm
(8:04:29 PM): Casshern: "... It's her."
VJockey 8:04 pm
(8:04:43 PM): Cora: "Looks like the VIP folks. Lock and load. Its looking way too quiet for my liking."
(8:04:50 PM): "Something's gotta go wrong sometime"
wyverncakes 8:04 pm
(8:04:56 PM): Pilot: "It is? Good... we're going to need to land soon and- geh!"
Meraxa 8:05 pm
(8:05:22 PM): Boss: Y-Yes Ma'am! *Boss scrambles inside one opening left - a literal door in the Borot's chest which he slams shut behind him.*
Mister Giggles 8:05 pm
(8:05:26 PM): Casshern: "No matter what happens, she cannot be hurt. Please. She doesn't des-... we can't allow another Ruin."
wyverncakes 8:05 pm
(8:05:32 PM): The ship begins to spiral out of control, but only for a moment. It lands rather awkwardly, but manages to avoid crashing, at the foot of the cliff.
VJockey 8:06 pm
(8:06:04 PM): Cora: "DAMNIT! The hell was that?!"
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:09 PM): "... Okay, not the landing I was shooting for but we're just a hop, skip, and jump away from her!"
sketchbookfiend 8:06 pm
(8:06:14 PM): Yusuke steadies himself against a wall after the rough landing: "Oof! Everyone alright?"
Mister Giggles 8:06 pm
(8:06:15 PM): Casshern braces himself.
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:15 PM): "And cool your heels, it's just turblence!"
(8:06:49 PM): The hatch opens up, you're all free to get out. On her end, Luna's making her way the long way around to lower elevation too.
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:28 PM): Scythe: [The sniper merely just smiles under her helmet and gets off the shuttle with a running start, the rest of the team that was present following.]
Lake_of_Archers 8:07 pm
(8:07:49 PM): "uwwaah!" Bernie found himself in a hallway with one of those transport handles. Eventually, he'd head for the hangar
Mister Giggles 8:07 pm
(8:07:59 PM): Casshern heads down to meet her. Last time, he seemed like the only person she was even interested in speaking to, so...
sketchbookfiend 8:08 pm
(8:08:07 PM): Yusuke makes his way to and out of the hatch. No BeatChaser this time, didn't think he would need it.
Meraxa 8:08 pm
(8:08:10 PM): Boss: ...AAAAAAAAAH! *Boss just runs for it, ignoring everything he's heard about this land, so as not to piss his pants*
wyverncakes 8:09 pm
(8:09:02 PM): And as you all go to meet her, she stops and offers you a relieved smile.
sketchbookfiend 8:09 pm
(8:09:36 PM): Yusuke: "Well that wasn't too hard."
wyverncakes 8:09 pm
(8:09:37 PM): "Thank you. I was hoping you would come soon. Much has changed since last we met... myself included."
Mister Giggles 8:10 pm
(8:10:01 PM): Casshern remains silent, but nods.
wyverncakes 8:10 pm
(8:10:15 PM): "I will keep this brief, but I feel it needs to be said... but my original purpose was never meant to be a 'messiah' that would bring life."
(8:11:01 PM): "Rather, my creators intended me as a weapon in the world before the Second Impact. The fact that my blood could grant eternal life..." her gaze shifts over to Casshern, and her own hand as well. "Was purely a side-effect."
VJockey 8:12 pm
(8:12:12 PM): Mongrel: "Hah... figures. Who else saw this coming? Great big angelic figure's just a nuke." [Mongrel gets a punch to his side for his trouble.]
Mister Giggles 8:12 pm
(8:12:19 PM): Casshern's eyes widened. "I--..." They never could figure out her origins. She didn't match any known android designs. "I... I'm sorry, I didn't know."
wyverncakes 8:12 pm
(8:12:28 PM): "When Second Impact happened and I tried to help those suffering from it, Braiking Boss saw me as a threat. Perhaps he was aware of my original purpose, or perhaps he feared I would give strength to those that opposed him. And for that, he sent Casshern to kill me, triggering the Ruin."
Mister Giggles 8:13 pm
(8:13:01 PM): "So... so that's who that man from before, was."
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:36 PM): "And when I awoke, all I could remember of dying was the pain. The terrible pain that made me grow to hate death and anything associated with it."
Meraxa 8:13 pm
(8:13:39 PM): Boss: ...Boss? Who's this Boss?! *There can be only one! ...Though, dude also kinda sucked for doing this to the poor thing.*
sketchbookfiend 8:13 pm
(8:13:43 PM): Yusuke: "Wait, so Casshern...killed you?" The Rider was not up to speed here. Was anyone else, he looks around to check.
Lake_of_Archers 8:13 pm
(8:13:52 PM): Bernie finaly arrives, having went the wrong way at first, but convo caught his attention. Did he hear "immortality"?
VJockey 8:13 pm
(8:13:52 PM): Cora: "...And we're all right here standing in the open. What are the odds he'd send someone again?"
wyverncakes 8:14 pm
(8:14:05 PM): "I had intended to create a world full of life, where people would not have to fear the unnatural state of death. Be able to live long and happy lives."
wyverncakes 8:14 pm
(8:14:19 PM): "But..."
(8:14:37 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uikEuigprFE
(8:14:44 PM): "... There was that robot."
(8:14:46 PM): "Break Man."
(8:15:04 PM): "He may have captured me, but he showed me how wrong my beliefs were."
Mister Giggles 8:15 pm
(8:15:41 PM): Casshern nods at Cora, but doesn't have the hear to interrupt Luna.
sketchbookfiend 8:15 pm
(8:15:46 PM): Yusuke: "...Unfortunately Death is a required part of life. You can't have one without the other. I'm glad someone was able to teach you so."
wyverncakes 8:15 pm
(8:15:50 PM): "Pro-" She took the moment to correct herself. "Break Man... he said he was dying. Living in tremendous pain... and yet he refused my blood. He... saved me from myself."
(8:16:11 PM): And at that, Luna closed her eyes and smiled.
wyverncakes 8:16 pm
(8:16:43 PM): "... Thank you for hearing me speak. I just... wished to say all of that... so you could understand. We can leave now."
Mister Giggles 8:17 pm
(8:17:17 PM): Casshern nods, and offers his hand to Luna. "I'm... I'm glad you were able to see that. But let's get you inside, before anything happens. You'll be much safer onboard."
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:25 PM): And with that, off a little ways you can hear the engines of the shuttle being revved up...
(8:17:50 PM): ... But if only things were that easy.
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:53 PM): Suddenly there's the loud whirring, the sound of something hurtling through the air... and then an explosion rocks the shuttle!
Meraxa 8:19 pm
(8:19:20 PM): Boss: What?!
sketchbookfiend 8:19 pm
(8:19:21 PM): Yusuke: "WH-!?"
wyverncakes 8:19 pm
(8:19:21 PM): Luna almost immediately recoils, hiding behind all of you... and those of you with scanners will detect you've got hostiles incoming!
(8:19:43 PM): Luna: "... It's them...!"
sketchbookfiend 8:20 pm
(8:20:00 PM): Kamen Rider G1 shakes his head "And it was going so well too."
Mister Giggles 8:20 pm
(8:20:13 PM): Casshern throws himself in front of Luna, attempting to shield her from any shrapnel that might be flying. He doesn't care what happens to himself, Good Thing He Can Heal. Luna, on the other hand... if she dies, he doesn't even want to think about the possibility of another Ruin and the White Chalice being Patient Zero.
wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:37 PM): Indeed, marching through a leveled area far off behind you, is coming a rather modest small army.
(8:20:43 PM): Full of riff-raff robots (http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h454/Steamrollerssolveall/CasshernMooks_zps0ad34770.png)
Lake_of_Archers 8:20 pm
(8:20:48 PM): Bernie: Guess it's time for battle
wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:53 PM): And four individuals marching in the front.
(8:21:11 PM): Two of which you've seen before...
(8:21:19 PM): Robot Dio (http://grevolt.geekrevolt.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/600full-casshern-sins-screenshot.jpg)
Mister Giggles 8:21 pm
(8:21:28 PM): Casshern: "D-Damn... Luna, keep your head down. Stay behind us."
wyverncakes 8:21 pm
(8:21:57 PM): Leda (Link)
Meraxa 8:22 pm
(8:22:06 PM): Boss: Hey, pretty bot. You can keep her hidden in here! *And Borot's door springs open!*
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:19 PM): And then two more mysterious figures, one of whom nobody'd recognize
(8:22:31 PM): The other though...
sketchbookfiend 8:22 pm
(8:22:38 PM): Yusuke squints at the blue guy, then turns to look at Casshern and back at that guy. "...huh."
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:39 PM): Luna recognizes him, and so might Casshern.
Mister Giggles 8:23 pm
(8:23:06 PM): Casshern: ... it's them... Braiking Boss. And that other one is Dio.
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:06 PM): Luna's already into Boss Borot's cavity, but she still sees the large robot man coming towards her. "Braiking Boss..."
(8:23:43 PM): (Leda re-link: http://s1.zerochan.net/Casshern.Sins.600.154308.jpg)
sketchbookfiend 8:23 pm
(8:23:51 PM): Yusuke: "Does anyone know the other one with the long hair?"
Meraxa 8:23 pm
(8:23:57 PM): Boss: Yosh! *Boss closes up the door before rushing back up to the cockpit, and spins the wheel with a roar*
sketchbookfiend 8:24 pm
(8:24:03 PM): Meaning the guy nobody would recognize
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:07 PM): Braiking Boss can be seen with an absolute huge gun attached to his right arm, no doubt what damaged the shuttle.
VJockey 8:24 pm
(8:24:38 PM): Cora: "Doesn't matter."
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:44 PM): Braiking: "... Remarkable weapon. You say it was from one of your associates?"
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:15 PM): ???: "Yes. Bazooka Turtle. We could recover it, but not the rest of him. It's good to see what we could salvage be put to good use."
(8:25:24 PM): Braiking grinned.
Mister Giggles 8:25 pm
(8:25:28 PM): Casshern: "I don't know... but I doubt he's a human. Braiking Boss was the one who made humans nearly extinct in the Ruin. He wanted to create an entire nation made up exclusively of robots."
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:42 PM): And Casshern, Dio's got his eyes on you too!
(8:25:50 PM): But it's the mysterious figure who takes center stage!
sketchbookfiend 8:25 pm
(8:25:56 PM): Yusuke straightens up, that's a name he knows. A pretty well known Kaijin even for how early he was fought.
VJockey 8:26 pm
(8:26:17 PM): Scythe: [The Sniper glances at Casshern] "Does he still need a head?"
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:36 PM): ???: "How fortuitous that you would be here, Casshern. I could only convince Dio and Leda to aid us in this venture if we promised them your life. And now here you are..."
(8:26:41 PM): "And Luna as well!"
(8:27:05 PM): "The power to grant immortality, and to destroy entire regions of the world!"
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:21 PM): "A sword and a shield for Shocker, a weapon that will let us stage center stage once more!"
(8:27:37 PM): Braiking: "And grant me the kingdom we discussed as well."
sketchbookfiend 8:27 pm
(8:27:37 PM): The Rider grips his hand into a fist :"SHOCKER!"
Mister Giggles 8:28 pm
(8:28:05 PM): Casshern's eyes narrow. "Killing her brought about a calamity I can never atone for. But I'll die before I allow it to ever happen again. If you want her, you'll pry her from my cold, dead hands."
wyverncakes 8:28 pm
(8:28:22 PM): The man shrugged. "Of course. We dug you out of that graveyard because you were worth something to us, Braiking Boss."
(8:28:34 PM): "Now please, prove it!"
(8:28:39 PM): Braiking: "With pleasure!"
(8:28:58 PM): And with that, the towering robot points his arm cannon in Boss Borot's direction and fires again, loosing another potent rocket!
(8:29:03 PM): (React: Boss Borot)
wyverncakes 8:29 pm
(8:29:57 PM): (Enemy lineup: Dio, Leda, Braiking Boss, Mystery Man Asuma, Robot Footsoldier S x 8, Robot Footsoldier M x 10)
Meraxa 8:29 pm
(8:29:59 PM): Boss: CRAP! *And he dives to the left...! ...Or rather, jumps and trips on a rock+
VJockey 8:30 pm
(8:30:06 PM): #Boss
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:09 PM): (Approved)
(8:30:18 PM): (Lineup: Casshern, Yusuke, Boss, Cora, Bernie)
VJockey 8:31 pm
(8:31:30 PM): *Cora's already letting loose clouds of chaff to disrupt the rocket - Scythe on the other hand just shot at it - essentially taking the more violent solution.+
Lake_of_Archers 8:31 pm
(8:31:47 PM): Bernie gets himself prepared in Gaza D, "Earth or Space are not just for robots."
Mister Giggles 8:32 pm
(8:32:08 PM): Casshern was going to protect Boss, but it looks like he's covered. "Everyone, no matter what happens, keep Luna safe. If she dies again... I don't even want to think about the consequences." But he charges forward, his eyes focused squarely on Braiking Boss, Dio, and Leda. &
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:02 PM): [Cora, Scythe, and Boss] It's a good thing Scythe took the direct route and intercepted the missile, because the chaffs didn't seem to do mch and Boss didn't really dodge that much... and the explosion that gets let loose leaves you ALL feeling the shock of it! Holy cow you do NOT want to get hit by that thing!
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:12 PM): (Casshern, Yusuke)
(8:34:16 PM): (Herpderp, sorry was in the bathroom)
sketchbookfiend 8:35 pm
(8:35:15 PM): *Yusuke: "Shocker, I'll die before I let you ruin these two having a shot at peace. They are people, not tools!" Kamen Rider G1 rushes into the fray as Casshern had, aiming to barrel right at this mysterious agent.&
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:18 PM): [Casshern] And as Casshern charges, the army moves to respond... before Dio suddenly holds up his hand! "Wait!" And at that they all stop. "We discussed this before... Casshern... is mine!" And with that, the black killbot charges right back in your face, Casshern!
Lake_of_Archers 8:35 pm
(8:35:20 PM): Bernie: "Boss, isn't ...you know...isn't she in danger in there?"
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:22 PM): (React/continue: Casshern)
Meraxa 8:36 pm
(8:36:25 PM): Boss: Shut up! Its better than out there isn't it?! Plus, I have room! And a couch!
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:06 PM): [Yusuke] And that figure, unlike Dio, opts to just let you come to him instead! "And those are one in the same for Shocker! Our weapons were people, our members are weapons!" And with the disciplined form of a martial artist he delivers a thrusting punch at G1!
(8:37:12 PM): (React/continue: Casshern)
Mister Giggles 8:37 pm
(8:37:16 PM): Well, looks like he's gotta go through Dio first. What is it with this guy? He's had it out for him since the second mission. Whatever it is, it's personal as hell. And since talking is a free action... "Dio, why do you wish to kill me so much?"
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:24 PM): (Boss)
Lake_of_Archers 8:37 pm
(8:37:59 PM): Bernie: ...a couch?
wyverncakes 8:38 pm
(8:38:31 PM): Dio: "You ask that as if I could concern myself with anything else in this world!"
Mister Giggles 8:39 pm
(8:39:02 PM): Casshern's just going to pray Luna doesn't get tetanus. And that she'll be satisfied with the White Chalice's showers, because a trash compactor? Seriously?
sketchbookfiend 8:39 pm
(8:39:07 PM): *The Rider reacts by launching his own punch, carried with the momentum of his charge into his enemy's fist. Yusuke didn't bother holding back, he could already tell this was one of those cyborgs in disguise.+
Meraxa 8:39 pm
(8:39:15 PM): Boss: Yep! Its comfy, and perfect for watching a man as he gets to work! *And from the arsenal of offscreen convenience, a familiar black iron fist appears!* Rocket Punch! *...And it flies off in... actually he's not sure what that direction is. Looks like it could hit just about anybody* ...Oops.+
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:19 PM): "Since the day we were created... I could always sense that no matter what I accomplished, I would be forever in your shadow! But in battle.. I will be able to surpass you!"
Mister Giggles 8:40 pm
(8:40:28 PM): Casshern blinks. That's it? THAT's his problem? An inferiority complex? At least Lyuze was out for something logical, like revenge. "Then I guess you'll get your chance, now. Prepare yourself!" And with that, Casshern charges at Dio, aiming to land an open-palmed strike to his sternum.
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:21 PM): [Yusuke] Your fists collide, but the difference between the two of you is clear almost immediately! The G1's gauntlet begins to crack, the man frowning. "Your style is self-taught, is it not? It's impressive in that regard, but just in the past exchange I've seen no less than five holes in your defenses." And with that, suddenly a thin, spindly leg bursts out from the side of his cloak, swatting Yusuke away with ease!
sketchbookfiend 8:42 pm
(8:42:35 PM): Yusuke is taken aback by having no effect but getting smashed backwards by that next attack was also pretty damaging to his ego. And his body. As he crashes to the ground in a grunt.
wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:30 PM): [Boss] Fortunately, Boss was never the kind of comic relief to make things worse for the allies of justice! It surges out towards the robot army... and Braiking Boss jumps over it, letting it blow apart one of his lesser minions instead! "So then... you choose to carry the Weapon Named Moon inside of you. If it's in the name of being a protector... then allow me to impart to you the same ultimate fate as Luna's previous defenders!" And with that, the Size-S mandroid lunges at Boss Borot, fist clenched and ready to deliver a crushing blow!
(8:43:45 PM): (Bernie, Cora)
macprysm has been invited. 8:44 pm
macprysm has entered the room. 8:44 pm
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:19 PM): [Casshern] "Yes, YES!" Dio exclaimed as he turned, letting the attack be softened as he let his own fist hit Casshern's head. The angle of the attack wasn't great though, only managing to snap off part of Casshern's helmet crest. Still something though.
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:36 PM): "I haven't felt this way in months... to exchange blows with you..."
(8:45:57 PM): "I knew I'd feel this again if we only did battle!"
Mister Giggles 8:48 pm
(8:48:49 PM): There goes his almost Gundam-like helmet crest. Oh well. Nothing that can't be fixed.
VJockey 8:49 pm
(8:49:15 PM): *Cora and her team scatter across the field and unleash hell in their own little ways - Cora herself unleashes a barrage of twin gatling fire at the smaller footsoldiers, Dice joining her with rifle fire...
(8:49:26 PM): Scythe had seemingly dissapeared
(8:49:34 PM): and as for Mongrel...
(8:49:42 PM): "BURN IN HELL!"
(8:49:59 PM): He's letting loose with his flamethrower near indiscriminately&
Mister Giggles 8:52 pm
(8:52:17 PM): Casshern has to take a few precious seconds... "Be careful of the Ruined. If they draw blood or you breathe in the nanites, you could get infected!" Of course, now that they have Luna... still, worth mentioning.
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:31 PM): (Also, derp. React: Boss)
(8:53:08 PM): [Cora and company] The killbots get rattled up a bit by your assault, and one of the smaller ones gets melted into slag by Mongrel's surprise flamethrower attack! Still, while you're doing all of this, a small, whiplike razor comes slashing out, courtesy of Leda straight at Mongrel!
(8:53:51 PM): Leda: "... So, you're the ones that Shocker warned us about, the obstacles between us and achieving a beautiful kingdom that we'd control. So beit... a kingdom won means far more than one simply given!"
(8:53:56 PM): (React: Mongrel)
Meraxa 8:54 pm
(8:54:23 PM): Boss: ...Y-You're the one they call Braiking Boss, right?! *Suddenly enraged, the Borot's fist swings a few time before attempting to collide head on with Braiking's!+
VJockey 8:55 pm
(8:55:30 PM): *Well Mongrel has heavy ass armor compared to the other Dullahans, but he's got no illusions of invincibility - he's going to attempt to leap back - as a shot comes screaming past the air he was at previously. Looks like Scythe went to find a vantage point!+
Lake_of_Archers 8:55 pm
(8:55:30 PM): Gaza D is launched in mobile suit mode, using its boosters to gain some height above the robot army. The only reasonable weapon to use against a small force, seeemingly, was the knuckle buster. He fires on the army
wyverncakes 8:55 pm
(8:55:49 PM): [Boss] And that punch exchange is... well a lot more embarassing than the one between Yusuke and the Shocker commander. Borot's fist is smashed off, leaving nothing but a handless limb. And Braiking snorts. "Revived from a long slumber to renew my conquest of the world. And you are just another obstacle in the way."
(8:56:09 PM): (Casshern and Yusuke)
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:27 PM): (Bernie, the mooks are size S and M, so there are larger enemies present)
(8:57:40 PM): (Would you like to redo your action?)
(8:58:23 PM): [Mongrel and Scythe] Mongrel's speed is impressive, but couldn't surpass the speed and reach of Leda's whip! The bladed end cuts along the front of the Dullahan's armor, already retracting down to a more practical blade. But Leda can't pursue further, not when Scythe's snipe shot comes hurtling out and she has to use her other hand to catch the shot. She still gets knocked backwards though, she's tough but no superman.

(8:59:08 PM): He wouldn't be much of a Rider if he stayed down from that, as such Yusuke leaps back to his feet from his back before taking on a fighting stance and staring down his opponent with his eyes glowing. "I see Shocker's decided to make you guys tougher. Fine, I'll just go all out."
VJockey 8:59 pm
(8:59:15 PM): Mongrel: "The hell-"

(8:59:17 PM): *A spark surges around the suit before Yusuke rushes forward and leaps into the air for a "RIDER KICK!!!" at the Kaijin+
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:01 PM): At that, the man just chuckles. "Shocker made me stronger? No... what Shocker did to strengthen me was nothing compared to what I accomplished on my own...!}

wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:34 PM): [Yusuke] Your kick comes smashing down into him, but the man does nothing to stop the kick... rather he takes it head on! There's a huge release of energy, his cloak being shredded... but in the aftermath, Yusuke you see some thing grab you by G1's helmet!
Mister Giggles 9:01 pm
(9:01:48 PM): Casshern rolls with the bunch that cost him part of his V-crest. He flips back onto his feet, before using the momentum to leap back forward. If Dio wants a fight, he's going to get one.

(9:01:52 PM): Yusuke: !!!!
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:15 PM): [Bernie] The buster rakes the enemy forces, damaging some of them, but one of the Size-M Robots, one blessed with the means of flight, rockets up after you, flipping around to deliver a kick to the Gaza as well!
(9:02:18 PM): (React: Bernie!)
(9:02:24 PM): Indeed, this was no man...
(9:02:28 PM): (Water Strideroid: http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/WaterStrideroid2_zps84ff4da9.jpg.html)
(9:02:46 PM): But rather, some insect-like being with a multitude of additional limbs.
(9:02:57 PM): Strideroid: "Now... to see who just is under the helmet..."
(9:03:34 PM): His grip tightens, the G1 helmet shattering in an instant! And at that, the kaijin snorts. "... Yusuke Godai. How fitting."
wyverncakes 9:04 pm
(9:04:32 PM): Strideroid throws you to the ground, Yusuke before jumping up into the air! "It is no Kick... but you'll see it can achieve similar levels of carnage!" The kaijin falls back down to the ground, its additional legs thrust downward to impale you several times over!
(9:04:39 PM): (React again: Yusuke)
VJockey 9:04 pm
(9:04:55 PM): # Yusuke?
Lake_of_Archers 9:06 pm
(9:06:01 PM): "Whoa!" The buster leans downward and the Gaza D takes out one of its beam sabers to defend against the kick+
macprysm 9:06 pm

wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:32 PM): (I'll approve Specs so he gets someone in on the mission!)
(9:07:19 PM): [Bernie] Fortunately, the giant robot lacks any kind of beam coating! That kick only manages to cause the robot to lose his entire leg!
macprysm 9:07 pm

macprysm 9:08 pm

(9:08:36 PM): *The Rider falls to the ground and attempts to scramble back but those legs are just too quick for him to avoid entirely and pieces of G1 are breaking off in his escape.+
Meraxa 9:09 pm
(9:09:23 PM): Boss: Maybe you haven't heard, creep... but my name... is Boss! *And desperate for a weapon, Boss has the Borot's remaining arm extend across... and rip out the opposing limb, using it like a thug would a metal pipe by swinging it at Braiking!*
(9:09:27 PM): *+
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:13 PM): [Yusuke and Cynthia] The Dominator has a huge size advantage on the Strideroid, but the Strideroid also has arms to spare in this attack to guard against its kick! And meanwhile, his stabby legs still manage to plunge down into a few parts of the G1 armor, tearing them off of Yusuke... but also leading the man to suffer from a tremendous electrical shock as well!
(9:11:22 PM): (Is Casshern going to take an action?)
Mister Giggles 9:11 pm
(9:11:42 PM): (I did, or did you want me to expand on it?)
wyverncakes 9:12 pm
(9:12:17 PM): (Yes, because either I'm missing it, or it's just that very basic charging back into the fight thing)
macprysm 9:12 pm
(9:12:52 PM): Cynthia: "You guys have no idea how hard you are to track down...we have catching up to do, after we squash these things...Damn, he's strong for a little guy..."
sketchbookfiend 9:12 pm
(9:12:58 PM): Yusuke: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" and with that Yusuke spasms from the shock and damage before falling to the ground, limp.
wyverncakes 9:13 pm
(9:13:09 PM): [Boss] At that, Braiking moves his gun arm to block the strike. "So you were named after me then? How appropriate, for me to be both your origin and your end!"
VJockey 9:13 pm
(9:13:15 PM): *Cora isn't going to let Leda get away with landing a scratch on one of her teammates, there's a whirr and click as something in her mechanical arm connected to the grappling cable in her armor as it extended - the team leader cracking it like a whip before sending it screaming through the air at Leda's face!&
wyverncakes 9:13 pm
(9:13:31 PM): [Boss cont.] Braiking swings his leg up afterwards, eager to have it smash apart the larger Borot!
Mister Giggles 9:13 pm
(9:13:34 PM): Casshern rolls with the bunch that cost him part of his V-crest. He flips back onto his feet, before using the momentum to leap back forward. If Dio wants a fight, he's going to get one. Casshern makes use of his hip-mounted thrusters to boost forward just as gravity began to take over, and outstretched is leg, aiming to stomp down onto Dio's face, if he doesn't move quickly.
Meraxa 9:14 pm
(9:14:16 PM): Boss: Bullshit! Not even the- urk! *And to that, the Borot will attempt a meager jump... which one might soon realise is actually leading into a body slam!+
wyverncakes 9:15 pm
(9:15:47 PM): [Cora] Your cable comes whooshing out at Leda, but the gynoid dodges to the side, losing only a few strands of hair from your attack! "... Maintaining my beauty all this time... only to lose it at this final moment? Ha!" She laughs incredulously, letting her own whip come up to wrap around Cora's as well before yanking hard forward. Her strength surpasses yours, Cora, and you're sent hurtling towards the red woman who's aiming to kick your head clean off!
(9:15:55 PM): (React: Cora)
(9:17:39 PM): [Casshern] And rather than dodge, Dio takes that kick as well! His body's knocked backwards... but at the same time he swings his legs up, catching Casshern's own outstretched one in a hold. And from there he's going to apply pressure... pressure to break that leg clean off!
(9:17:43 PM): (React: Casshern)
wyverncakes 9:17 pm
(9:17:58 PM): (Bernie, Cynthia)
VJockey 9:18 pm
(9:18:57 PM): *Cora was actually going to use this to her advantage "Lets see how you like One point two gigawatts!.. Or something like that!" There's a massive SNAP-CRACK as massive amounts of electricity suddenly whip across the cables and into Leda's weapon! Cora also uses her suit's boosters to manuever herself mid air to clothesline the gynoid if she's successfully shocked to the point she couldn't attack!+
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:27 PM): [Boss] Braiking Boss certainly mistook it for a meager jump... which proved to be the first step of his undoing! The greater part of the robot's body was smashed into the ground by Borot's frame... and even though he was quick to shove Borot off... "... Scrap..." he began to grunt angrily, slowly rising back up. Yeah, you can see his body's been banged up quite a bit by that. "... To think you are opposing me with scrap..."
Meraxa 9:20 pm
(9:20:08 PM): Boss: You can't ruin whats already ruined! ...Wait...
frifreeman2 has entered the room. 9:21 pm
wyverncakes 9:22 pm
(9:22:02 PM): [Cora] The electricity courses through your whips... reaching out and electrocuting Leda painfully! She screams out in agony, her body contorting in pain... but she can still fight back! And as you move to clothesline her, she knees down and thrusts out with her elbow, smashing into your own machine and knocking you both away!
wyverncakes 9:22 pm
(9:22:26 PM): Leda "... It hurts... This pain... this heat...!"
(9:23:27 PM): Indeed, the electrical charge has caused parts of her hair to ignite. Her sense of image is falling apart, and her eyes are transfixed on Boss Borot... where her salvation and source of eternal beauty are hidden away from her.
Mister Giggles 9:23 pm
(9:23:58 PM): Casshern isn't going to lose that leg without a fight. Casshern twists and pivots his body, one of his hands raising... in his hand, there... is that? Yes. It's the broken part of his V-crest from his helmet. It's coming down, aimed right at Dio's neck. If he doesn't let Casshern go and put distance between them quickly, he's going to get stabbed in the throat by a makeshift dagger.
VJockey 9:24 pm
(9:24:39 PM): [Cora's going to skid along the ground after a rough landing. Ouch. Kind of in pain right now as she becomes one with Australia.]
macprysm 9:24 pm
(9:24:54 PM): Cynthia: "So just what are we fighting today, anyway..." she mutters to herself, jumping back from her prevoius target. The Dominator extends its hands, smaller, whiplike tendrils extending out towards the Strideroid. Some seek to peel it away from the Kamen Rider, while others extend into blades to cut him free from his shocking predicament.+
Lake_of_Archers 9:26 pm
(9:26:34 PM): After the small bout with the kicking robot mook, Gaza D lands. It's knuckle buster is aimed at scary-looking Leda. Bernie hesitates first...
Lake_of_Archers 9:26 pm
(9:26:59 PM): "mmm...its a robot!" And he fires one beam shot+
sketchbookfiend 9:27 pm

vnanachan has been invited. 9:28 pm
Vnanachan has entered the room. 9:28 pm
wyverncakes 9:30 pm
(9:30:22 PM): [Cynthia] And those tendrils... are not going to accomplish much though as the Strideroid's legs begin to twitch and move suddenly in unpredictable angles, cutting into even the Dominator's form! Don't underestimate Shocker hardware here... especially when it uses those legs to propel the entire Strideroid straight at the Dominator! "... Your machine may be unusual, but your form is still the same as any other pilot's!" And with that, the kaijin begins unleashing an unbelievably quick series of kicks... causing ripples and pushing away the "blob" part of the Dominator in the blink of an eye. What the fuck, is this guy Kenshiro or something?!? But from there, it's just one big powerful punch to smash through the Dominator's cockpit!
(9:30:25 PM): (React: Cynthia)
macprysm 9:32 pm
(9:32:13 PM): Cynthia: "Yow! Damn demonic spider!" She throws up a photon mat between her and the incoming fist, before rubberbanding skyward out of range. "You're not a mook at all!"+
macprysm 9:32 pm
(9:32:28 PM): She's accomplished her goal of getting it off of Yusuke, at least...
wyverncakes 9:32 pm
(9:32:46 PM): [Bernie] Leda's not so far lost to realize she's being attacked again, and she springs up and over the shot before pointing at the Gaza D. "... I have no time to concern myself with him! Kill him!"
(9:33:12 PM): And the mooks are more than happy to comply, another two M-sized mooks charging forward to smash apart the mobile suit!
wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:48 PM): [Casshern] Your attack on Dio's life unfortunately forces his hand. He can't stop time or create zombie dinosaurs... all he can do is let go and fall back... but not before delivering one last twist to your entire leg! You hear a popping noise... and although nothing broke, your entire limb's been dislocated!
(9:34:51 PM): (React: Bernie)
(9:34:58 PM): (Casshern, Yusuke0
Lake_of_Archers 9:36 pm
(9:36:50 PM): Bernie grumbles. Igniting boosters, Gaza D takes a leap into the air to make a little distance from the mooks. It then takes out both beam sabers+
Mister Giggles 9:37 pm
(9:37:01 PM): Damn. Even if he pops the leg back in, it will still take a while for it to regenerate the synthetic tissue and muscle damage, not to mention the searing pain in his leg. As he hits the ground, Casshern attempts to throw that makeshift knife straight into Dio's chest, hopefully before he has time to react himself.
sketchbookfiend 9:37 pm
(9:37:16 PM): Yusuke lays there as the battle goes on around him, the electricity still lingering on him...but suddenly it starts to center and travel to his abdomen. A belt emerges from him, a gem in the center with a tiny crack- and with a final burst of electricity the crack seals and a flash of light bursts from Yusuke's body.
(9:38:07 PM): His body glowing he lurches up, as armor forms on him. This is the birth- no the Rebirth of Kuuga!

wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:56 PM): [Casshern] Casshern Casshern Casshern. When will you learn. NEVER let this Dio do anything that could even vaguely be interpreted as a reference to JJBA's. EVER. Dio snatches your dagger out from the air, looking at it in amusement. "Fighting even as it all turns against you Casshern. Now... now you can understand what it would feel like to be me! Knowing the threat of death... and how it makes you feel that much more alive!" And with that he hurls the blade back at you, this time impaling your other leg right above the ankle and pinning it to the ground. He jumps in the air, ready to finish you off! "Die, Casshern!"

(9:40:52 PM): The Water Stroideroid just looks at the return of Kuuga with a hint of amusement.
(9:40:57 PM): "Kuuuga..."
(9:41:50 PM): [Cynthia] Indeed the Strideroid wasn't! The force from the punch fractures your Photon Mat, but you do manage to escape in the nick of time with your cockpit only rattled around!
sketchbookfiend 9:42 pm
(9:42:54 PM): Kuuga: "I am the one who will protect everyone's smiles! And I won't let you ruin theirs, neither Luna or Casshern's!" *He braces himself and then rushes towards the Rider Strider, shoulder checking through the arms into his enemy. Yusuke can already feel the power return, the difference between this energy and G1+

wyverncakes 9:44 pm
(9:44:04 PM): (Lyuze's is approved)
wyverncakes 9:45 pm
(9:45:39 PM): [Yusuke] Kuuga's form is scraped more than a bit by all those limbs, but still he presses on! And the Strideroid just glares before spinning around, becoming a whirlwind of legs to cut you apart with! "Then let us see the strength of your body, your understanding of the martial arts, Kuuga!"
(9:45:43 PM): (React: Yusuke)
(9:46:06 PM): (Boss, Cora)
(9:46:20 PM): [Bernie] And fortunately those two mooks lacked the previous one's flight! They're chopped to pieces in no time flat!
Meraxa 9:47 pm
(9:47:35 PM): Boss: Dadada~ Time for you to go flying! *He's winding up the leg, and soon its the patented Borot Kick to try and send Braiking over the horizon!+
Nana Banana 9:47 pm
(9:47:46 PM): Hello Dio, I hope you like a sudden flying kick from the side from a person who hasn't been around but likes to make herself known when people forget about her. As quick and to the point as Lyuze ever is, she makes contact and is quick to use the moment from landing on Dio to back flip and land by Casshern's side. She removes the blade embedded into his leg without hesitation.
VJockey 9:48 pm
(9:48:38 PM): *Scythe has been quiet for way too long, just what was she up to? Well Strideroid would find out as a head shot was lined up and fired without preable right at his stupid and ugly face!+
sketchbookfiend 9:49 pm
(9:49:48 PM): *Kuuga you would think would leap away from the blades but instead he stands his ground and holds out his arms as he shouts "Chou Henshin!" his armor and eyes changing from Red to Purple, assuming Titan form- his hands are grasping out to stop your spinning and your legs with it's strength.+\
wyverncakes 9:50 pm
(9:50:02 PM): [Lyuze] Your dynamic entry is greatly appreciated, knocking Dio away at the last second! He's quick to recover as he hits the ground though, pulling himself back up to his feet! "... You again..."
Mister Giggles 9:50 pm
(9:50:48 PM): With the blade out of his leg, the wound slowly begins closing, despite his blood spilling out. Casshern is able to slowly get back to his feet, but not without a great deal of pain and effort from the strain of it. "L-Lyuze... nice timing."
wyverncakes 9:51 pm
(9:51:05 PM): [Boss] Unfortunately the Borot Kick doesn't have the kind of mass and momentum behind it as your body slam! Braiking Boss guards the hit, stumbling back a little bit... but now having all the room he needs to point out with his Bazooka Arm again! "This has gone on too long! Die!" And with that, he moves to fire!
(9:51:09 PM): (React; Boss)
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:08 PM): [Yusuke] And that proves to be the critical action! The legs strike Kuuga's now-purple form, many of them breaking off one after another from the sheer toughness of the Rider's form now! Yeah, the Strideroid's stumbling back in pain after that.
Nana Banana 9:52 pm
(9:52:26 PM): "You need to get admirers that are a little less obsessed with you." her tone is mocking but there's a soft smile on her face even as she watches Dio quickly get back up. Tough opponent, but then she knew that..
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:17 PM): [Scythe] Aaaaaand that was all of the opening that the Dullahan Unit's sniper needed. Bam. A huge chunk of the kaijin's head is blow off, the monster falling to its knees and then collapsing. Dead or just downed... that did a number on him.
(9:53:29 PM): (Cynthia, Bernie)
Meraxa 9:53 pm
(9:53:31 PM): Boss: Ahahaha wait I saw this! *And his great answer is... diving forward, and attempting to put the Boss Borot's finger to the barrel.* ...Damn impulse...+
sketchbookfiend 9:55 pm
(9:55:30 PM): Kuuga stares, as he returns to mighty form and sees the monster fall to the ground. "...Oh."
wyverncakes 9:56 pm
(9:56:19 PM): [Boss] And that was... well... Braiking looks a bit startled right before the bazooka's entire barrel explodes in an amazing blast, sending the two of you hurtling away in opposite directions! Borot's whole frame is battered and torn open by all of this, and you can see Luna clinging to a girder with all her strength. On his end, Braiking Boss certainly looks better off... but he's grunting in tremendous pain as he tries to get back to his feet. "... Onore..."
(9:56:29 PM): Translator's Note: This is a TV-Nihon joke.

(9:57:56 PM): Boss: Sorry! You alright over there?! *He yells at Luna, actually remembering she's in here*
macprysm 9:58 pm
(9:58:49 PM): Cynthia surveys the battlefield from midair, snickers at Boss's reaction, and fires a barrage of shots after Braiking...but they're not beams, like usual, rather, they're tiny, hardened needles of nanoskin, aimed to pin down the big guy's limbs....tiny might be relative here, each one's easily as big as a spear to her SS-sized target.+
sketchbookfiend 9:59 pm
(9:59:09 PM): Well Kuuga turns his attention to the other side of the fight with that guy down, throwing a thumbs up in the direction the bullet came from, whoever fired that can probably see that.
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:25 PM): (Braiking Boss is actually S-sized)
wyverncakes 10:00 pm

Meraxa 10:00 pm
(10:00:46 PM): Boss: ...S-Sure! Women are always welcome up here!
Mister Giggles 10:01 pm
(10:01:00 PM): Casshern doesn't comment.
wyverncakes 10:01 pm
(10:01:49 PM): (Do you want to change your action, Cynthia?)
macprysm 10:02 pm
(10:02:10 PM): (Nah. That just makes him a bigger target.)
macprysm 10:02 pm
(10:02:37 PM): (Assume the spears are a bit bigger too, though...?)
wyverncakes 10:03 pm
(10:03:25 PM): (We can work with that, yes)
wyverncakes 10:05 pm
(10:05:19 PM): [Cynthia] Braiking Boss only has one good working arm left... but that just means he can use what's left of the other one for protection! And in the meantime, he grabs his cloak and swings it upwards, ensnaring the Dominator before slamming into the ground at the foot of his army. "The Shocker commander has fallen! If we put an end to these fools, Luna's blood shall be ours and with it the world!" And thus, Cynthia, you've got a huge swarm of S- and M- sized machines dogpiling you, stabbing, shooting and all in all just trying to put an end to you.
(10:05:22 PM): (React Cynthia)
(10:05:54 PM): (Casshern, Lyuze, and Yusuke)
macprysm 10:07 pm
(10:07:39 PM): Cynthia: "Where the hell did these guys come from?! Give me some SPACE!" And with that, the Dominator compresses itself into a vaugely flan-like shape, before dozens of spikes jut from its surface to deal with its would-be assalants!+
Lake_of_Archers 10:08 pm
(10:08:06 PM): Braiking seems like the lead baddie, and so, a blast from the knuckle buster heads for him. It's from the green Gaza D in the air, in Mobile Armor mode+
sketchbookfiend 10:08 pm
(10:08:19 PM): *Yusuke decides his speech he gave the Strideroid was enough to get his point across as he locks his eyes on Braiking Boss. He shits his position, flaming energy starting to flare around his foot as he takes a running towards the large robot man. Each step burning the ground beneath him before he leaps and flips in the air, a flying, burning side kick aimed right towards his opponent.+
(10:08:27 PM): "RIDER KICK!!!!!"
Nana Banana 10:10 pm
(10:10:02 PM): *"Hello again." There's no emotion, as she stares down Dio. With an injured Casshern, she's a bit concerned about her survival. Dio wasn't an opponent she could take down. She acknowledged that. Her arm blades slide out at her sides. But it certainly didn't mean she wasn't going to try. Not a second later she's running full speed towards her enemy, blades out and at the read. the moment she's close enough she starts slashing away.+
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:57 PM): [Yusuke and Bernie] Cynthia's bodkins were one thing... and even then, Braiking Boss needed to sacrifice what was left of his gun arm to survive that. And the Gaza D's energy blasts were an entirely different beast... and then Kuuga's Rider Kick was like The Beast That Shouted Justice At The End Of The Episode. For all the grand speeches he had just a few seconds ago... well, the two of them blast apart what's left of his body, and his inspiring speech becomes his ironic last words.
Mister Giggles 10:11 pm
(10:11:12 PM): @ Lyuze
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:20 PM): [Cynthia] And in the meantime, it's tough going for you Cynthia... the flan begins to tear into the mooks but at the same time several of them still land hits on the Dominator, even managing to breach through to the cockpit! BUT... Braiking Boss's death is a serious game-changer, and the army just sorta... pauses in disbelief. It's all the opening you needed to finish off the rest of them... though at no small cost to the Dominator's energy reserces.
sketchbookfiend 10:12 pm
(10:12:38 PM): Kuuga lands behind the explosion, slowly standing. "Two Down."
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:03 PM): [Lyuze] Dio however, is just... not going to really give you the time of day. You're not Casshern, after all. As you charge at him he just shoulder-checks into you, getting his face and body slashed up in the process... but one grunt and thrust of his arm and you're sent away!
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:28 PM): Dio: "Haha... and do you expect me to give up the battle now, Casshern, that Braiking Boss and Shocker's schemes failed?"
(10:14:40 PM): "I didn't care about them! Not at all! It was all about you, Casshern..."
Mister Giggles 10:14 pm
(10:14:42 PM): @ Lyuze
wyverncakes 10:14 pm

Mister Giggles 10:14 pm

wyverncakes 10:15 pm
(10:15:10 PM): ... And it's then that a part of his chest suddenly cracks and falls off like so much rusted-over scrap.
(10:15:15 PM): Wait a second...
(10:15:17 PM): ... All this time...
(10:15:28 PM): ... Was Dio contaminated by the Ruin?
(10:15:31 PM): (Alright, gogogogo)
Mister Giggles 10:17 pm
(10:17:23 PM): And just then, Casshern flashsteps out from behind Lyuze, and reappears directly in front of Dio.
(10:17:24 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN6PDbfdTiU
(10:18:48 PM): *"Dio... that's why you will never surpass me." And with that, Casshern outstetches his hand, his fingers flattening, and thrusts his hand forward, going for the killing blow by attempting to stab his hand straight through Dio's chest.+
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:00 PM): [Casshern] Ah, but you're who he really wanted all this time, Casshern, and as you thrust forward with your hand, Dio mirrors the action perfectly! You both run each other through in one go... and at that..
(10:22:05 PM): Dio: "Ha... haha..."

(10:22:33 PM): Dio's face begins to rust over, his entire body even...
VJockey 10:22 pm
(10:22:47 PM): Cora: "Oh hell.... MAN DOWN!"
Mister Giggles 10:22 pm
(10:22:48 PM): Casshern's eyes go wide. Blood begins dripping down his lips. But he doesn't pull Dio's hand out.
macprysm 10:22 pm
(10:22:51 PM): Cynthia: ...!
sketchbookfiend 10:22 pm
(10:22:57 PM): Kuuga: "Casshern!"
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:04 PM): And he reaches up, pulling Casshern's hand out of his body. No sooner does he manage that though, that limb completely rushes and shatters.
Meraxa 10:23 pm
(10:23:10 PM): Boss: ...O-Oi! Whats going on down there?!
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:18 PM): "... You didn't kill me."
(10:23:23 PM): "Even now..."
(10:23:35 PM): "It's the Ruin that takes me, not you, Casshern!"
Mister Giggles 10:23 pm
(10:23:47 PM): Casshern's breath is wheezing. "Goodbye... Dio. I hope... you'll enjoy the peace... I'll never have."
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:48 PM): For one reason or another, his corroded face is now turning up into a smile.
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:16 PM): "In failing to defeat me... you've lost. For this one moment... even the great Casshern, the immortal Casshern... could not match me...!"
(10:26:08 PM): With one last defiant pull with his remaining arm, he slashes the arm out of Casshern's body, taking more of the white robot's form with it. And after that, he collapses and falls back. Now completely Ruin'd... and then breaks apart into nothing.
(10:27:02 PM): And at that, a pained, mournfaul cry echoes across the battlefield.
(10:27:08 PM): The only one left is the source of it: Leda.
Nana Banana 10:27 pm
(10:27:39 PM): Lyuze expected a retaliation but she didn't expect to be tossed aside so easily. She rights herself, even as she struggles a bit. Casshern was fast, and she watched in horror as Dio's body was breaking down. Instinctively, she jerked towards Casshern when Dio's hit connects. "Casshern!" but stills as she notices Dio's Ruined form. She watches, silently, a spectator. That....was going to happen to her too. She closed her eyes for a moment at the fall of a great warrior. No matter how crazy and despite the fact that he was an enemy.
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:42 PM): Her beauty ruined and the man she loved dead, it's all the robot can do to stumble over to Dio's resting place, her hands holding the faint scrap that remains of him.
Mister Giggles 10:28 pm
(10:28:00 PM): Casshern falls backwards. He's clearly still alive, and even though the fibers of his skin are scrambling to reattach themselves, Casshern is still out of this fight. He's sustained way too much damage, and his Luna cells won't be able to repair it fast enough for it to matter.
wyverncakes 10:28 pm
(10:28:19 PM): Leda: "Dio... DIIIIIIOOOOOO!"
VJockey 10:28 pm
(10:28:41 PM): "Don't worry about it too much..."
(10:28:45 PM): "In a few seconds"
(10:28:50 PM): "You'll be with him."
(10:29:38 PM): *Leda would hear a low clunk as Mongrel raised his flamethrower. What happens next was a forgone conclusion as he burns her with what remained of Dio+
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:05 PM): Leda's not really complaining.
(10:30:15 PM): Mongrel had a very good point there, and, well...
(10:30:47 PM): She and Dio's remains go up in flames, gone forever along with Braiking Boss himself.
(10:31:41 PM): Luna's safety's been secured.
Mister Giggles 10:31 pm
(10:31:46 PM): Casshern's head rolls over, to watch what's left of Dio and Leda be incinerated. He'd talk about how senseless and cruel that seems to him, if his lungs would even work right now. His good arm tries to reach out for Lyuze's hand.
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:48 PM): Now all that's left is to get her back onto the Chalice.
sketchbookfiend 10:32 pm
(10:32:08 PM): Kuuga: "...This isn't how it should have been..."
VJockey 10:32 pm
(10:32:52 PM): Cora: "Mongrel... What the HELL?!"
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:53 PM): Luna: "But it's what she wanted."
(10:33:12 PM): MISSION
(10:33:13 PM): COMPLETE
Nana Banana 10:33 pm
(10:33:17 PM): Lyuze's eyes flicker over to Dio and Leda's remains before falling on Casshern. She walks over to him, reaching out until his hand is in hers.
macprysm 10:33 pm
(10:33:25 PM): Cynthia winces. "She didn't even try to fight back. A mercy kill?"
VJockey 10:33 pm
(10:33:26 PM): [The Half Britannian doesn't answer, but under that helmet is a sickening grin as he walks back to the shuttle.]
Mister Giggles 10:36 pm
(10:36:34 PM): Casshern looks over at Luna. She's safe... thank God. And so is Lyuze. Lyuze can still be saved, he can tell the Ruin is affecting her, but it's not too late.

(7:57:04 PM): Previously, on SRW UG@!
(7:57:40 PM): The White Chalice received a handwritten message from none other than Luna, the ressurected messiah whose death brought about the Ruin in the aftermath of Second Impact.
(7:58:22 PM): For one reason or another, the enigmatic Break Man had released her from his custody, and she was waiting for us to pick her up in Australia
wyverncakes 7:58 pm
(7:58:58 PM): Though she'd also mentioned that she suspected that some other group was trying to track her down too, and thus a shuttle was sent out from the Chalice to hopefully beat these other pursuers to the punch.
(7:59:05 PM): This is where you all come in!
(7:59:49 PM): The shuttle's now entering Australian airspace, and youc an all see the massive crater spans the better part of the continent after Zeon's colony drop during the OYW... and the weather's being freakishly crazy too.
(7:59:54 PM): Then again, Australia, go figure.
(8:00:21 PM): The game plan being you all locate Luna, safely extract her, and then everything'd be sorted out afterwards.
VJockey 8:00 pm
(8:00:21 PM): Scythe's looking out the window longingly.
(8:00:31 PM): Its a crater encrusted hellhole. But its home.
wyverncakes 8:00 pm
(8:00:33 PM): How's everyone preparing themselves for this?
Mister Giggles 8:01 pm
(8:01:03 PM): Casshern wasn't even waiting for orders. He was already gearing up to head to the rendezvous point, and would launch the moment he was within gliding range of the drop zone. He left a note with Lyuze, but...
VJockey 8:01 pm
(8:01:10 PM): Meanwhile Mongrel's nursing a brused cranium for making fun of said hellhole in her presence. She's been quite a bit more agressive of late and Cora is rather concerned.
wyverncakes 8:01 pm
(8:01:46 PM): As the shuttle proceeds on, you can all notice that it's hitting more and more turblance though. Not a good sign.
Meraxa 8:02 pm
(8:02:01 PM): Boss is battening down the hatches. Literally. Almost every opening on the bot is being covered up with scrap metal.
Lake_of_Archers 8:02 pm
(8:02:05 PM): Bernie is looking out of one of the Chalice windows, in awe of the craters.
sketchbookfiend 8:02 pm
(8:02:12 PM): Yusuke was already geared up in his G1 suit, just because it saved time more than anything else. And looks like that was a good call with the turbulance.
wyverncakes 8:03 pm
(8:03:33 PM): Still though...
(8:03:52 PM): Off in the distance, waiting for you, you can make out a lone figure standing near the edge of a cliff.
(8:04:01 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEo-wJGsXeY
(8:04:23 PM): http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/rHjMpQ5r-38/hqdefault.jpg
Mister Giggles 8:04 pm
(8:04:29 PM): Casshern: "... It's her."
VJockey 8:04 pm
(8:04:43 PM): Cora: "Looks like the VIP folks. Lock and load. Its looking way too quiet for my liking."
(8:04:50 PM): "Something's gotta go wrong sometime"
wyverncakes 8:04 pm
(8:04:56 PM): Pilot: "It is? Good... we're going to need to land soon and- geh!"
Meraxa 8:05 pm
(8:05:22 PM): Boss: Y-Yes Ma'am! *Boss scrambles inside one opening left - a literal door in the Borot's chest which he slams shut behind him.*
Mister Giggles 8:05 pm
(8:05:26 PM): Casshern: "No matter what happens, she cannot be hurt. Please. She doesn't des-... we can't allow another Ruin."
wyverncakes 8:05 pm
(8:05:32 PM): The ship begins to spiral out of control, but only for a moment. It lands rather awkwardly, but manages to avoid crashing, at the foot of the cliff.
VJockey 8:06 pm
(8:06:04 PM): Cora: "DAMNIT! The hell was that?!"
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:09 PM): "... Okay, not the landing I was shooting for but we're just a hop, skip, and jump away from her!"
sketchbookfiend 8:06 pm
(8:06:14 PM): Yusuke steadies himself against a wall after the rough landing: "Oof! Everyone alright?"
Mister Giggles 8:06 pm
(8:06:15 PM): Casshern braces himself.
wyverncakes 8:06 pm
(8:06:15 PM): "And cool your heels, it's just turblence!"
(8:06:49 PM): The hatch opens up, you're all free to get out. On her end, Luna's making her way the long way around to lower elevation too.
VJockey 8:07 pm
(8:07:28 PM): Scythe: [The sniper merely just smiles under her helmet and gets off the shuttle with a running start, the rest of the team that was present following.]
Lake_of_Archers 8:07 pm
(8:07:49 PM): "uwwaah!" Bernie found himself in a hallway with one of those transport handles. Eventually, he'd head for the hangar
Mister Giggles 8:07 pm
(8:07:59 PM): Casshern heads down to meet her. Last time, he seemed like the only person she was even interested in speaking to, so...
sketchbookfiend 8:08 pm
(8:08:07 PM): Yusuke makes his way to and out of the hatch. No BeatChaser this time, didn't think he would need it.
Meraxa 8:08 pm
(8:08:10 PM): Boss: ...AAAAAAAAAH! *Boss just runs for it, ignoring everything he's heard about this land, so as not to piss his pants*
wyverncakes 8:09 pm
(8:09:02 PM): And as you all go to meet her, she stops and offers you a relieved smile.
sketchbookfiend 8:09 pm
(8:09:36 PM): Yusuke: "Well that wasn't too hard."
wyverncakes 8:09 pm
(8:09:37 PM): "Thank you. I was hoping you would come soon. Much has changed since last we met... myself included."
Mister Giggles 8:10 pm
(8:10:01 PM): Casshern remains silent, but nods.
wyverncakes 8:10 pm
(8:10:15 PM): "I will keep this brief, but I feel it needs to be said... but my original purpose was never meant to be a 'messiah' that would bring life."
(8:11:01 PM): "Rather, my creators intended me as a weapon in the world before the Second Impact. The fact that my blood could grant eternal life..." her gaze shifts over to Casshern, and her own hand as well. "Was purely a side-effect."
VJockey 8:12 pm
(8:12:12 PM): Mongrel: "Hah... figures. Who else saw this coming? Great big angelic figure's just a nuke." [Mongrel gets a punch to his side for his trouble.]
Mister Giggles 8:12 pm
(8:12:19 PM): Casshern's eyes widened. "I--..." They never could figure out her origins. She didn't match any known android designs. "I... I'm sorry, I didn't know."
wyverncakes 8:12 pm
(8:12:28 PM): "When Second Impact happened and I tried to help those suffering from it, Braiking Boss saw me as a threat. Perhaps he was aware of my original purpose, or perhaps he feared I would give strength to those that opposed him. And for that, he sent Casshern to kill me, triggering the Ruin."
Mister Giggles 8:13 pm
(8:13:01 PM): "So... so that's who that man from before, was."
wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:36 PM): "And when I awoke, all I could remember of dying was the pain. The terrible pain that made me grow to hate death and anything associated with it."
Meraxa 8:13 pm
(8:13:39 PM): Boss: ...Boss? Who's this Boss?! *There can be only one! ...Though, dude also kinda sucked for doing this to the poor thing.*
sketchbookfiend 8:13 pm
(8:13:43 PM): Yusuke: "Wait, so Casshern...killed you?" The Rider was not up to speed here. Was anyone else, he looks around to check.
Lake_of_Archers 8:13 pm
(8:13:52 PM): Bernie finaly arrives, having went the wrong way at first, but convo caught his attention. Did he hear "immortality"?
VJockey 8:13 pm
(8:13:52 PM): Cora: "...And we're all right here standing in the open. What are the odds he'd send someone again?"
wyverncakes 8:14 pm
(8:14:05 PM): "I had intended to create a world full of life, where people would not have to fear the unnatural state of death. Be able to live long and happy lives."
wyverncakes 8:14 pm
(8:14:19 PM): "But..."
(8:14:37 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uikEuigprFE
(8:14:44 PM): "... There was that robot."
(8:14:46 PM): "Break Man."
(8:15:04 PM): "He may have captured me, but he showed me how wrong my beliefs were."
Mister Giggles 8:15 pm
(8:15:41 PM): Casshern nods at Cora, but doesn't have the hear to interrupt Luna.
sketchbookfiend 8:15 pm
(8:15:46 PM): Yusuke: "...Unfortunately Death is a required part of life. You can't have one without the other. I'm glad someone was able to teach you so."
wyverncakes 8:15 pm
(8:15:50 PM): "Pro-" She took the moment to correct herself. "Break Man... he said he was dying. Living in tremendous pain... and yet he refused my blood. He... saved me from myself."
(8:16:11 PM): And at that, Luna closed her eyes and smiled.
wyverncakes 8:16 pm
(8:16:43 PM): "... Thank you for hearing me speak. I just... wished to say all of that... so you could understand. We can leave now."
Mister Giggles 8:17 pm
(8:17:17 PM): Casshern nods, and offers his hand to Luna. "I'm... I'm glad you were able to see that. But let's get you inside, before anything happens. You'll be much safer onboard."
wyverncakes 8:17 pm
(8:17:25 PM): And with that, off a little ways you can hear the engines of the shuttle being revved up...
(8:17:50 PM): ... But if only things were that easy.
wyverncakes 8:18 pm
(8:18:53 PM): Suddenly there's the loud whirring, the sound of something hurtling through the air... and then an explosion rocks the shuttle!
Meraxa 8:19 pm
(8:19:20 PM): Boss: What?!
sketchbookfiend 8:19 pm
(8:19:21 PM): Yusuke: "WH-!?"
wyverncakes 8:19 pm
(8:19:21 PM): Luna almost immediately recoils, hiding behind all of you... and those of you with scanners will detect you've got hostiles incoming!
(8:19:43 PM): Luna: "... It's them...!"
sketchbookfiend 8:20 pm
(8:20:00 PM): Kamen Rider G1 shakes his head "And it was going so well too."
Mister Giggles 8:20 pm
(8:20:13 PM): Casshern throws himself in front of Luna, attempting to shield her from any shrapnel that might be flying. He doesn't care what happens to himself, Good Thing He Can Heal. Luna, on the other hand... if she dies, he doesn't even want to think about the possibility of another Ruin and the White Chalice being Patient Zero.
wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:37 PM): Indeed, marching through a leveled area far off behind you, is coming a rather modest small army.
(8:20:43 PM): Full of riff-raff robots (http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h454/Steamrollerssolveall/CasshernMooks_zps0ad34770.png)
Lake_of_Archers 8:20 pm
(8:20:48 PM): Bernie: Guess it's time for battle
wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:53 PM): And four individuals marching in the front.
(8:21:11 PM): Two of which you've seen before...
(8:21:19 PM): Robot Dio (http://grevolt.geekrevolt.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/600full-casshern-sins-screenshot.jpg)
Mister Giggles 8:21 pm
(8:21:28 PM): Casshern: "D-Damn... Luna, keep your head down. Stay behind us."
wyverncakes 8:21 pm
(8:21:57 PM): Leda (Link)
Meraxa 8:22 pm
(8:22:06 PM): Boss: Hey, pretty bot. You can keep her hidden in here! *And Borot's door springs open!*
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:19 PM): And then two more mysterious figures, one of whom nobody'd recognize
(8:22:31 PM): The other though...
sketchbookfiend 8:22 pm
(8:22:38 PM): Yusuke squints at the blue guy, then turns to look at Casshern and back at that guy. "...huh."
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:39 PM): Luna recognizes him, and so might Casshern.
Mister Giggles 8:23 pm
(8:23:06 PM): Casshern: ... it's them... Braiking Boss. And that other one is Dio.
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:06 PM): Luna's already into Boss Borot's cavity, but she still sees the large robot man coming towards her. "Braiking Boss..."
(8:23:43 PM): (Leda re-link: http://s1.zerochan.net/Casshern.Sins.600.154308.jpg)
sketchbookfiend 8:23 pm
(8:23:51 PM): Yusuke: "Does anyone know the other one with the long hair?"
Meraxa 8:23 pm
(8:23:57 PM): Boss: Yosh! *Boss closes up the door before rushing back up to the cockpit, and spins the wheel with a roar*
sketchbookfiend 8:24 pm
(8:24:03 PM): Meaning the guy nobody would recognize
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:07 PM): Braiking Boss can be seen with an absolute huge gun attached to his right arm, no doubt what damaged the shuttle.
VJockey 8:24 pm
(8:24:38 PM): Cora: "Doesn't matter."
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:44 PM): Braiking: "... Remarkable weapon. You say it was from one of your associates?"
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:15 PM): ???: "Yes. Bazooka Turtle. We could recover it, but not the rest of him. It's good to see what we could salvage be put to good use."
(8:25:24 PM): Braiking grinned.
Mister Giggles 8:25 pm
(8:25:28 PM): Casshern: "I don't know... but I doubt he's a human. Braiking Boss was the one who made humans nearly extinct in the Ruin. He wanted to create an entire nation made up exclusively of robots."
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:42 PM): And Casshern, Dio's got his eyes on you too!
(8:25:50 PM): But it's the mysterious figure who takes center stage!
sketchbookfiend 8:25 pm
(8:25:56 PM): Yusuke straightens up, that's a name he knows. A pretty well known Kaijin even for how early he was fought.
VJockey 8:26 pm
(8:26:17 PM): Scythe: [The Sniper glances at Casshern] "Does he still need a head?"
wyverncakes 8:26 pm
(8:26:36 PM): ???: "How fortuitous that you would be here, Casshern. I could only convince Dio and Leda to aid us in this venture if we promised them your life. And now here you are..."
(8:26:41 PM): "And Luna as well!"
(8:27:05 PM): "The power to grant immortality, and to destroy entire regions of the world!"
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:21 PM): "A sword and a shield for Shocker, a weapon that will let us stage center stage once more!"
(8:27:37 PM): Braiking: "And grant me the kingdom we discussed as well."
sketchbookfiend 8:27 pm
(8:27:37 PM): The Rider grips his hand into a fist :"SHOCKER!"
Mister Giggles 8:28 pm
(8:28:05 PM): Casshern's eyes narrow. "Killing her brought about a calamity I can never atone for. But I'll die before I allow it to ever happen again. If you want her, you'll pry her from my cold, dead hands."
wyverncakes 8:28 pm
(8:28:22 PM): The man shrugged. "Of course. We dug you out of that graveyard because you were worth something to us, Braiking Boss."
(8:28:34 PM): "Now please, prove it!"
(8:28:39 PM): Braiking: "With pleasure!"
(8:28:58 PM): And with that, the towering robot points his arm cannon in Boss Borot's direction and fires again, loosing another potent rocket!
(8:29:03 PM): (React: Boss Borot)
wyverncakes 8:29 pm
(8:29:57 PM): (Enemy lineup: Dio, Leda, Braiking Boss, Mystery Man Asuma, Robot Footsoldier S x 8, Robot Footsoldier M x 10)
Meraxa 8:29 pm
(8:29:59 PM): Boss: CRAP! *And he dives to the left...! ...Or rather, jumps and trips on a rock+
VJockey 8:30 pm
(8:30:06 PM): #Boss
wyverncakes 8:30 pm
(8:30:09 PM): (Approved)
(8:30:18 PM): (Lineup: Casshern, Yusuke, Boss, Cora, Bernie)
VJockey 8:31 pm
(8:31:30 PM): *Cora's already letting loose clouds of chaff to disrupt the rocket - Scythe on the other hand just shot at it - essentially taking the more violent solution.+
Lake_of_Archers 8:31 pm
(8:31:47 PM): Bernie gets himself prepared in Gaza D, "Earth or Space are not just for robots."
Mister Giggles 8:32 pm
(8:32:08 PM): Casshern was going to protect Boss, but it looks like he's covered. "Everyone, no matter what happens, keep Luna safe. If she dies again... I don't even want to think about the consequences." But he charges forward, his eyes focused squarely on Braiking Boss, Dio, and Leda. &
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:02 PM): [Cora, Scythe, and Boss] It's a good thing Scythe took the direct route and intercepted the missile, because the chaffs didn't seem to do mch and Boss didn't really dodge that much... and the explosion that gets let loose leaves you ALL feeling the shock of it! Holy cow you do NOT want to get hit by that thing!
wyverncakes 8:34 pm
(8:34:12 PM): (Casshern, Yusuke)
(8:34:16 PM): (Herpderp, sorry was in the bathroom)
sketchbookfiend 8:35 pm
(8:35:15 PM): *Yusuke: "Shocker, I'll die before I let you ruin these two having a shot at peace. They are people, not tools!" Kamen Rider G1 rushes into the fray as Casshern had, aiming to barrel right at this mysterious agent.&
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:18 PM): [Casshern] And as Casshern charges, the army moves to respond... before Dio suddenly holds up his hand! "Wait!" And at that they all stop. "We discussed this before... Casshern... is mine!" And with that, the black killbot charges right back in your face, Casshern!
Lake_of_Archers 8:35 pm
(8:35:20 PM): Bernie: "Boss, isn't ...you know...isn't she in danger in there?"
wyverncakes 8:35 pm
(8:35:22 PM): (React/continue: Casshern)
Meraxa 8:36 pm
(8:36:25 PM): Boss: Shut up! Its better than out there isn't it?! Plus, I have room! And a couch!
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:06 PM): [Yusuke] And that figure, unlike Dio, opts to just let you come to him instead! "And those are one in the same for Shocker! Our weapons were people, our members are weapons!" And with the disciplined form of a martial artist he delivers a thrusting punch at G1!
(8:37:12 PM): (React/continue: Casshern)
Mister Giggles 8:37 pm
(8:37:16 PM): Well, looks like he's gotta go through Dio first. What is it with this guy? He's had it out for him since the second mission. Whatever it is, it's personal as hell. And since talking is a free action... "Dio, why do you wish to kill me so much?"
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:24 PM): (Boss)
Lake_of_Archers 8:37 pm
(8:37:59 PM): Bernie: ...a couch?
wyverncakes 8:38 pm
(8:38:31 PM): Dio: "You ask that as if I could concern myself with anything else in this world!"
Mister Giggles 8:39 pm
(8:39:02 PM): Casshern's just going to pray Luna doesn't get tetanus. And that she'll be satisfied with the White Chalice's showers, because a trash compactor? Seriously?
sketchbookfiend 8:39 pm
(8:39:07 PM): *The Rider reacts by launching his own punch, carried with the momentum of his charge into his enemy's fist. Yusuke didn't bother holding back, he could already tell this was one of those cyborgs in disguise.+
Meraxa 8:39 pm
(8:39:15 PM): Boss: Yep! Its comfy, and perfect for watching a man as he gets to work! *And from the arsenal of offscreen convenience, a familiar black iron fist appears!* Rocket Punch! *...And it flies off in... actually he's not sure what that direction is. Looks like it could hit just about anybody* ...Oops.+
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:19 PM): "Since the day we were created... I could always sense that no matter what I accomplished, I would be forever in your shadow! But in battle.. I will be able to surpass you!"
Mister Giggles 8:40 pm
(8:40:28 PM): Casshern blinks. That's it? THAT's his problem? An inferiority complex? At least Lyuze was out for something logical, like revenge. "Then I guess you'll get your chance, now. Prepare yourself!" And with that, Casshern charges at Dio, aiming to land an open-palmed strike to his sternum.
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:21 PM): [Yusuke] Your fists collide, but the difference between the two of you is clear almost immediately! The G1's gauntlet begins to crack, the man frowning. "Your style is self-taught, is it not? It's impressive in that regard, but just in the past exchange I've seen no less than five holes in your defenses." And with that, suddenly a thin, spindly leg bursts out from the side of his cloak, swatting Yusuke away with ease!
sketchbookfiend 8:42 pm
(8:42:35 PM): Yusuke is taken aback by having no effect but getting smashed backwards by that next attack was also pretty damaging to his ego. And his body. As he crashes to the ground in a grunt.
wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:30 PM): [Boss] Fortunately, Boss was never the kind of comic relief to make things worse for the allies of justice! It surges out towards the robot army... and Braiking Boss jumps over it, letting it blow apart one of his lesser minions instead! "So then... you choose to carry the Weapon Named Moon inside of you. If it's in the name of being a protector... then allow me to impart to you the same ultimate fate as Luna's previous defenders!" And with that, the Size-S mandroid lunges at Boss Borot, fist clenched and ready to deliver a crushing blow!
(8:43:45 PM): (Bernie, Cora)
macprysm has been invited. 8:44 pm
macprysm has entered the room. 8:44 pm
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:19 PM): [Casshern] "Yes, YES!" Dio exclaimed as he turned, letting the attack be softened as he let his own fist hit Casshern's head. The angle of the attack wasn't great though, only managing to snap off part of Casshern's helmet crest. Still something though.
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:36 PM): "I haven't felt this way in months... to exchange blows with you..."
(8:45:57 PM): "I knew I'd feel this again if we only did battle!"
Mister Giggles 8:48 pm
(8:48:49 PM): There goes his almost Gundam-like helmet crest. Oh well. Nothing that can't be fixed.
VJockey 8:49 pm
(8:49:15 PM): *Cora and her team scatter across the field and unleash hell in their own little ways - Cora herself unleashes a barrage of twin gatling fire at the smaller footsoldiers, Dice joining her with rifle fire...
(8:49:26 PM): Scythe had seemingly dissapeared
(8:49:34 PM): and as for Mongrel...
(8:49:42 PM): "BURN IN HELL!"
(8:49:59 PM): He's letting loose with his flamethrower near indiscriminately&
Mister Giggles 8:52 pm
(8:52:17 PM): Casshern has to take a few precious seconds... "Be careful of the Ruined. If they draw blood or you breathe in the nanites, you could get infected!" Of course, now that they have Luna... still, worth mentioning.
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:31 PM): (Also, derp. React: Boss)
(8:53:08 PM): [Cora and company] The killbots get rattled up a bit by your assault, and one of the smaller ones gets melted into slag by Mongrel's surprise flamethrower attack! Still, while you're doing all of this, a small, whiplike razor comes slashing out, courtesy of Leda straight at Mongrel!
(8:53:51 PM): Leda: "... So, you're the ones that Shocker warned us about, the obstacles between us and achieving a beautiful kingdom that we'd control. So beit... a kingdom won means far more than one simply given!"
(8:53:56 PM): (React: Mongrel)
Meraxa 8:54 pm
(8:54:23 PM): Boss: ...Y-You're the one they call Braiking Boss, right?! *Suddenly enraged, the Borot's fist swings a few time before attempting to collide head on with Braiking's!+
VJockey 8:55 pm
(8:55:30 PM): *Well Mongrel has heavy ass armor compared to the other Dullahans, but he's got no illusions of invincibility - he's going to attempt to leap back - as a shot comes screaming past the air he was at previously. Looks like Scythe went to find a vantage point!+
Lake_of_Archers 8:55 pm
(8:55:30 PM): Gaza D is launched in mobile suit mode, using its boosters to gain some height above the robot army. The only reasonable weapon to use against a small force, seeemingly, was the knuckle buster. He fires on the army
wyverncakes 8:55 pm
(8:55:49 PM): [Boss] And that punch exchange is... well a lot more embarassing than the one between Yusuke and the Shocker commander. Borot's fist is smashed off, leaving nothing but a handless limb. And Braiking snorts. "Revived from a long slumber to renew my conquest of the world. And you are just another obstacle in the way."
(8:56:09 PM): (Casshern and Yusuke)
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:27 PM): (Bernie, the mooks are size S and M, so there are larger enemies present)
(8:57:40 PM): (Would you like to redo your action?)
(8:58:23 PM): [Mongrel and Scythe] Mongrel's speed is impressive, but couldn't surpass the speed and reach of Leda's whip! The bladed end cuts along the front of the Dullahan's armor, already retracting down to a more practical blade. But Leda can't pursue further, not when Scythe's snipe shot comes hurtling out and she has to use her other hand to catch the shot. She still gets knocked backwards though, she's tough but no superman.
sketchbookfiend 8:59 pm
(8:59:08 PM): He wouldn't be much of a Rider if he stayed down from that, as such Yusuke leaps back to his feet from his back before taking on a fighting stance and staring down his opponent with his eyes glowing. "I see Shocker's decided to make you guys tougher. Fine, I'll just go all out."
VJockey 8:59 pm
(8:59:15 PM): Mongrel: "The hell-"
sketchbookfiend 8:59 pm
(8:59:17 PM): *A spark surges around the suit before Yusuke rushes forward and leaps into the air for a "RIDER KICK!!!" at the Kaijin+
wyverncakes 9:00 pm
(9:00:01 PM): At that, the man just chuckles. "Shocker made me stronger? No... what Shocker did to strengthen me was nothing compared to what I accomplished on my own...!}
Lake_of_Archers 9:00 pm
(9:00:40 PM): (Nope. I'll do it next time(
wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:34 PM): [Yusuke] Your kick comes smashing down into him, but the man does nothing to stop the kick... rather he takes it head on! There's a huge release of energy, his cloak being shredded... but in the aftermath, Yusuke you see some thing grab you by G1's helmet!
Mister Giggles 9:01 pm
(9:01:48 PM): Casshern rolls with the bunch that cost him part of his V-crest. He flips back onto his feet, before using the momentum to leap back forward. If Dio wants a fight, he's going to get one.
sketchbookfiend 9:01 pm
(9:01:52 PM): Yusuke: !!!!
wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:15 PM): [Bernie] The buster rakes the enemy forces, damaging some of them, but one of the Size-M Robots, one blessed with the means of flight, rockets up after you, flipping around to deliver a kick to the Gaza as well!
(9:02:18 PM): (React: Bernie!)
(9:02:24 PM): Indeed, this was no man...
(9:02:28 PM): (Water Strideroid: http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/WaterStrideroid2_zps84ff4da9.jpg.html)
(9:02:46 PM): But rather, some insect-like being with a multitude of additional limbs.
(9:02:57 PM): Strideroid: "Now... to see who just is under the helmet..."
(9:03:34 PM): His grip tightens, the G1 helmet shattering in an instant! And at that, the kaijin snorts. "... Yusuke Godai. How fitting."
wyverncakes 9:04 pm
(9:04:32 PM): Strideroid throws you to the ground, Yusuke before jumping up into the air! "It is no Kick... but you'll see it can achieve similar levels of carnage!" The kaijin falls back down to the ground, its additional legs thrust downward to impale you several times over!
(9:04:39 PM): (React again: Yusuke)
VJockey 9:04 pm
(9:04:55 PM): # Yusuke?
Lake_of_Archers 9:06 pm
(9:06:01 PM): "Whoa!" The buster leans downward and the Gaza D takes out one of its beam sabers to defend against the kick+
macprysm 9:06 pm
(9:06:17 PM): #Yusuke!
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:32 PM): (I'll approve Specs so he gets someone in on the mission!)
(9:07:19 PM): [Bernie] Fortunately, the giant robot lacks any kind of beam coating! That kick only manages to cause the robot to lose his entire leg!
macprysm 9:07 pm
(9:07:34 PM): ???: What's that in the sky? A bright, pink light, almost like a comet, dropping down from the heavens..."SHOOTING STAR...KIIIIIIICK!"
wyverncakes 9:07 pm

macprysm 9:08 pm

sketchbookfiend 9:08 pm
(9:08:36 PM): *The Rider falls to the ground and attempts to scramble back but those legs are just too quick for him to avoid entirely and pieces of G1 are breaking off in his escape.+
Meraxa 9:09 pm
(9:09:23 PM): Boss: Maybe you haven't heard, creep... but my name... is Boss! *And desperate for a weapon, Boss has the Borot's remaining arm extend across... and rip out the opposing limb, using it like a thug would a metal pipe by swinging it at Braiking!*
(9:09:27 PM): *+
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:13 PM): [Yusuke and Cynthia] The Dominator has a huge size advantage on the Strideroid, but the Strideroid also has arms to spare in this attack to guard against its kick! And meanwhile, his stabby legs still manage to plunge down into a few parts of the G1 armor, tearing them off of Yusuke... but also leading the man to suffer from a tremendous electrical shock as well!
(9:11:22 PM): (Is Casshern going to take an action?)
Mister Giggles 9:11 pm
(9:11:42 PM): (I did, or did you want me to expand on it?)
wyverncakes 9:12 pm
(9:12:17 PM): (Yes, because either I'm missing it, or it's just that very basic charging back into the fight thing)
macprysm 9:12 pm
(9:12:52 PM): Cynthia: "You guys have no idea how hard you are to track down...we have catching up to do, after we squash these things...Damn, he's strong for a little guy..."
sketchbookfiend 9:12 pm
(9:12:58 PM): Yusuke: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" and with that Yusuke spasms from the shock and damage before falling to the ground, limp.
wyverncakes 9:13 pm
(9:13:09 PM): [Boss] At that, Braiking moves his gun arm to block the strike. "So you were named after me then? How appropriate, for me to be both your origin and your end!"
VJockey 9:13 pm
(9:13:15 PM): *Cora isn't going to let Leda get away with landing a scratch on one of her teammates, there's a whirr and click as something in her mechanical arm connected to the grappling cable in her armor as it extended - the team leader cracking it like a whip before sending it screaming through the air at Leda's face!&
wyverncakes 9:13 pm
(9:13:31 PM): [Boss cont.] Braiking swings his leg up afterwards, eager to have it smash apart the larger Borot!
Mister Giggles 9:13 pm
(9:13:34 PM): Casshern rolls with the bunch that cost him part of his V-crest. He flips back onto his feet, before using the momentum to leap back forward. If Dio wants a fight, he's going to get one. Casshern makes use of his hip-mounted thrusters to boost forward just as gravity began to take over, and outstretched is leg, aiming to stomp down onto Dio's face, if he doesn't move quickly.
Meraxa 9:14 pm
(9:14:16 PM): Boss: Bullshit! Not even the- urk! *And to that, the Borot will attempt a meager jump... which one might soon realise is actually leading into a body slam!+
wyverncakes 9:15 pm
(9:15:47 PM): [Cora] Your cable comes whooshing out at Leda, but the gynoid dodges to the side, losing only a few strands of hair from your attack! "... Maintaining my beauty all this time... only to lose it at this final moment? Ha!" She laughs incredulously, letting her own whip come up to wrap around Cora's as well before yanking hard forward. Her strength surpasses yours, Cora, and you're sent hurtling towards the red woman who's aiming to kick your head clean off!
(9:15:55 PM): (React: Cora)
(9:17:39 PM): [Casshern] And rather than dodge, Dio takes that kick as well! His body's knocked backwards... but at the same time he swings his legs up, catching Casshern's own outstretched one in a hold. And from there he's going to apply pressure... pressure to break that leg clean off!
(9:17:43 PM): (React: Casshern)
wyverncakes 9:17 pm
(9:17:58 PM): (Bernie, Cynthia)
VJockey 9:18 pm
(9:18:57 PM): *Cora was actually going to use this to her advantage "Lets see how you like One point two gigawatts!.. Or something like that!" There's a massive SNAP-CRACK as massive amounts of electricity suddenly whip across the cables and into Leda's weapon! Cora also uses her suit's boosters to manuever herself mid air to clothesline the gynoid if she's successfully shocked to the point she couldn't attack!+
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:27 PM): [Boss] Braiking Boss certainly mistook it for a meager jump... which proved to be the first step of his undoing! The greater part of the robot's body was smashed into the ground by Borot's frame... and even though he was quick to shove Borot off... "... Scrap..." he began to grunt angrily, slowly rising back up. Yeah, you can see his body's been banged up quite a bit by that. "... To think you are opposing me with scrap..."
Meraxa 9:20 pm
(9:20:08 PM): Boss: You can't ruin whats already ruined! ...Wait...
frifreeman2 has entered the room. 9:21 pm
wyverncakes 9:22 pm
(9:22:02 PM): [Cora] The electricity courses through your whips... reaching out and electrocuting Leda painfully! She screams out in agony, her body contorting in pain... but she can still fight back! And as you move to clothesline her, she knees down and thrusts out with her elbow, smashing into your own machine and knocking you both away!
wyverncakes 9:22 pm
(9:22:26 PM): Leda "... It hurts... This pain... this heat...!"
(9:23:27 PM): Indeed, the electrical charge has caused parts of her hair to ignite. Her sense of image is falling apart, and her eyes are transfixed on Boss Borot... where her salvation and source of eternal beauty are hidden away from her.
Mister Giggles 9:23 pm
(9:23:58 PM): Casshern isn't going to lose that leg without a fight. Casshern twists and pivots his body, one of his hands raising... in his hand, there... is that? Yes. It's the broken part of his V-crest from his helmet. It's coming down, aimed right at Dio's neck. If he doesn't let Casshern go and put distance between them quickly, he's going to get stabbed in the throat by a makeshift dagger.
VJockey 9:24 pm
(9:24:39 PM): [Cora's going to skid along the ground after a rough landing. Ouch. Kind of in pain right now as she becomes one with Australia.]
macprysm 9:24 pm
(9:24:54 PM): Cynthia: "So just what are we fighting today, anyway..." she mutters to herself, jumping back from her prevoius target. The Dominator extends its hands, smaller, whiplike tendrils extending out towards the Strideroid. Some seek to peel it away from the Kamen Rider, while others extend into blades to cut him free from his shocking predicament.+
Lake_of_Archers 9:26 pm
(9:26:34 PM): After the small bout with the kicking robot mook, Gaza D lands. It's knuckle buster is aimed at scary-looking Leda. Bernie hesitates first...
Lake_of_Archers 9:26 pm

sketchbookfiend 9:27 pm

Vnanachan has entered the room. 9:28 pm
wyverncakes 9:30 pm
(9:30:22 PM): [Cynthia] And those tendrils... are not going to accomplish much though as the Strideroid's legs begin to twitch and move suddenly in unpredictable angles, cutting into even the Dominator's form! Don't underestimate Shocker hardware here... especially when it uses those legs to propel the entire Strideroid straight at the Dominator! "... Your machine may be unusual, but your form is still the same as any other pilot's!" And with that, the kaijin begins unleashing an unbelievably quick series of kicks... causing ripples and pushing away the "blob" part of the Dominator in the blink of an eye. What the fuck, is this guy Kenshiro or something?!? But from there, it's just one big powerful punch to smash through the Dominator's cockpit!
(9:30:25 PM): (React: Cynthia)
macprysm 9:32 pm
(9:32:13 PM): Cynthia: "Yow! Damn demonic spider!" She throws up a photon mat between her and the incoming fist, before rubberbanding skyward out of range. "You're not a mook at all!"+
macprysm 9:32 pm
(9:32:28 PM): She's accomplished her goal of getting it off of Yusuke, at least...
wyverncakes 9:32 pm
(9:32:46 PM): [Bernie] Leda's not so far lost to realize she's being attacked again, and she springs up and over the shot before pointing at the Gaza D. "... I have no time to concern myself with him! Kill him!"
(9:33:12 PM): And the mooks are more than happy to comply, another two M-sized mooks charging forward to smash apart the mobile suit!
wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:48 PM): [Casshern] Your attack on Dio's life unfortunately forces his hand. He can't stop time or create zombie dinosaurs... all he can do is let go and fall back... but not before delivering one last twist to your entire leg! You hear a popping noise... and although nothing broke, your entire limb's been dislocated!
(9:34:51 PM): (React: Bernie)
(9:34:58 PM): (Casshern, Yusuke0
Lake_of_Archers 9:36 pm
(9:36:50 PM): Bernie grumbles. Igniting boosters, Gaza D takes a leap into the air to make a little distance from the mooks. It then takes out both beam sabers+
Mister Giggles 9:37 pm
(9:37:01 PM): Damn. Even if he pops the leg back in, it will still take a while for it to regenerate the synthetic tissue and muscle damage, not to mention the searing pain in his leg. As he hits the ground, Casshern attempts to throw that makeshift knife straight into Dio's chest, hopefully before he has time to react himself.
sketchbookfiend 9:37 pm
(9:37:16 PM): Yusuke lays there as the battle goes on around him, the electricity still lingering on him...but suddenly it starts to center and travel to his abdomen. A belt emerges from him, a gem in the center with a tiny crack- and with a final burst of electricity the crack seals and a flash of light bursts from Yusuke's body.
(9:38:07 PM): His body glowing he lurches up, as armor forms on him. This is the birth- no the Rebirth of Kuuga!

(9:39:56 PM): [Casshern] Casshern Casshern Casshern. When will you learn. NEVER let this Dio do anything that could even vaguely be interpreted as a reference to JJBA's. EVER. Dio snatches your dagger out from the air, looking at it in amusement. "Fighting even as it all turns against you Casshern. Now... now you can understand what it would feel like to be me! Knowing the threat of death... and how it makes you feel that much more alive!" And with that he hurls the blade back at you, this time impaling your other leg right above the ankle and pinning it to the ground. He jumps in the air, ready to finish you off! "Die, Casshern!"

(9:40:57 PM): "Kuuuga..."
(9:41:50 PM): [Cynthia] Indeed the Strideroid wasn't! The force from the punch fractures your Photon Mat, but you do manage to escape in the nick of time with your cockpit only rattled around!

And I won't let you ruin theirs, neither Luna or Casshern's!" *He braces himself and then rushes towards the Rider Strider, shoulder checking through the arms into his enemy. Yusuke can already feel the power return, the difference between this energy and G1+

(9:45:39 PM): [Yusuke] Kuuga's form is scraped more than a bit by all those limbs, but still he presses on! And the Strideroid just glares before spinning around, becoming a whirlwind of legs to cut you apart with! "Then let us see the strength of your body, your understanding of the martial arts, Kuuga!"
(9:45:43 PM): (React: Yusuke)
(9:46:06 PM): (Boss, Cora)

Meraxa 9:47 pm
(9:47:35 PM): Boss: Dadada~ Time for you to go flying! *He's winding up the leg, and soon its the patented Borot Kick to try and send Braiking over the horizon!+
Nana Banana 9:47 pm
(9:47:46 PM): Hello Dio, I hope you like a sudden flying kick from the side from a person who hasn't been around but likes to make herself known when people forget about her. As quick and to the point as Lyuze ever is, she makes contact and is quick to use the moment from landing on Dio to back flip and land by Casshern's side. She removes the blade embedded into his leg without hesitation.
VJockey 9:48 pm
(9:48:38 PM): *Scythe has been quiet for way too long, just what was she up to? Well Strideroid would find out as a head shot was lined up and fired without preable right at his stupid and ugly face!+

wyverncakes 9:50 pm
(9:50:02 PM): [Lyuze] Your dynamic entry is greatly appreciated, knocking Dio away at the last second! He's quick to recover as he hits the ground though, pulling himself back up to his feet! "... You again..."
Mister Giggles 9:50 pm
(9:50:48 PM): With the blade out of his leg, the wound slowly begins closing, despite his blood spilling out. Casshern is able to slowly get back to his feet, but not without a great deal of pain and effort from the strain of it. "L-Lyuze... nice timing."
wyverncakes 9:51 pm
(9:51:05 PM): [Boss] Unfortunately the Borot Kick doesn't have the kind of mass and momentum behind it as your body slam! Braiking Boss guards the hit, stumbling back a little bit... but now having all the room he needs to point out with his Bazooka Arm again! "This has gone on too long! Die!" And with that, he moves to fire!
(9:51:09 PM): (React; Boss)
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:08 PM): [Yusuke] And that proves to be the critical action! The legs strike Kuuga's now-purple form, many of them breaking off one after another from the sheer toughness of the Rider's form now! Yeah, the Strideroid's stumbling back in pain after that.
Nana Banana 9:52 pm
(9:52:26 PM): "You need to get admirers that are a little less obsessed with you." her tone is mocking but there's a soft smile on her face even as she watches Dio quickly get back up. Tough opponent, but then she knew that..
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:17 PM): [Scythe] Aaaaaand that was all of the opening that the Dullahan Unit's sniper needed. Bam. A huge chunk of the kaijin's head is blow off, the monster falling to its knees and then collapsing. Dead or just downed... that did a number on him.
(9:53:29 PM): (Cynthia, Bernie)
Meraxa 9:53 pm

sketchbookfiend 9:55 pm
(9:55:30 PM): Kuuga stares, as he returns to mighty form and sees the monster fall to the ground. "...Oh."
wyverncakes 9:56 pm
(9:56:19 PM): [Boss] And that was... well... Braiking looks a bit startled right before the bazooka's entire barrel explodes in an amazing blast, sending the two of you hurtling away in opposite directions! Borot's whole frame is battered and torn open by all of this, and you can see Luna clinging to a girder with all her strength. On his end, Braiking Boss certainly looks better off... but he's grunting in tremendous pain as he tries to get back to his feet. "... Onore..."

(10:03:25 PM): (We can work with that, yes)
wyverncakes 10:05 pm
(10:05:19 PM): [Cynthia] Braiking Boss only has one good working arm left... but that just means he can use what's left of the other one for protection! And in the meantime, he grabs his cloak and swings it upwards, ensnaring the Dominator before slamming into the ground at the foot of his army. "The Shocker commander has fallen! If we put an end to these fools, Luna's blood shall be ours and with it the world!" And thus, Cynthia, you've got a huge swarm of S- and M- sized machines dogpiling you, stabbing, shooting and all in all just trying to put an end to you.
(10:05:22 PM): (React Cynthia)
(10:05:54 PM): (Casshern, Lyuze, and Yusuke)
macprysm 10:07 pm
(10:07:39 PM): Cynthia: "Where the hell did these guys come from?! Give me some SPACE!" And with that, the Dominator compresses itself into a vaugely flan-like shape, before dozens of spikes jut from its surface to deal with its would-be assalants!+
Lake_of_Archers 10:08 pm
(10:08:06 PM): Braiking seems like the lead baddie, and so, a blast from the knuckle buster heads for him. It's from the green Gaza D in the air, in Mobile Armor mode+
sketchbookfiend 10:08 pm
(10:08:19 PM): *Yusuke decides his speech he gave the Strideroid was enough to get his point across as he locks his eyes on Braiking Boss. He shits his position, flaming energy starting to flare around his foot as he takes a running towards the large robot man. Each step burning the ground beneath him before he leaps and flips in the air, a flying, burning side kick aimed right towards his opponent.+
(10:08:27 PM): "RIDER KICK!!!!!"
Nana Banana 10:10 pm
(10:10:02 PM): *"Hello again." There's no emotion, as she stares down Dio. With an injured Casshern, she's a bit concerned about her survival. Dio wasn't an opponent she could take down. She acknowledged that. Her arm blades slide out at her sides. But it certainly didn't mean she wasn't going to try. Not a second later she's running full speed towards her enemy, blades out and at the read. the moment she's close enough she starts slashing away.+
wyverncakes 10:10 pm
(10:10:57 PM): [Yusuke and Bernie] Cynthia's bodkins were one thing... and even then, Braiking Boss needed to sacrifice what was left of his gun arm to survive that. And the Gaza D's energy blasts were an entirely different beast... and then Kuuga's Rider Kick was like The Beast That Shouted Justice At The End Of The Episode. For all the grand speeches he had just a few seconds ago... well, the two of them blast apart what's left of his body, and his inspiring speech becomes his ironic last words.
Mister Giggles 10:11 pm
(10:11:12 PM): @ Lyuze
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:20 PM): [Cynthia] And in the meantime, it's tough going for you Cynthia... the flan begins to tear into the mooks but at the same time several of them still land hits on the Dominator, even managing to breach through to the cockpit! BUT... Braiking Boss's death is a serious game-changer, and the army just sorta... pauses in disbelief. It's all the opening you needed to finish off the rest of them... though at no small cost to the Dominator's energy reserces.
sketchbookfiend 10:12 pm
(10:12:38 PM): Kuuga lands behind the explosion, slowly standing. "Two Down."
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:03 PM): [Lyuze] Dio however, is just... not going to really give you the time of day. You're not Casshern, after all. As you charge at him he just shoulder-checks into you, getting his face and body slashed up in the process... but one grunt and thrust of his arm and you're sent away!
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:28 PM): Dio: "Haha... and do you expect me to give up the battle now, Casshern, that Braiking Boss and Shocker's schemes failed?"
(10:14:40 PM): "I didn't care about them! Not at all! It was all about you, Casshern..."
Mister Giggles 10:14 pm
(10:14:42 PM): @ Lyuze
wyverncakes 10:14 pm
(10:14:51 PM): (Just one moment. Let me finish his monologue first)
Mister Giggles 10:14 pm
(10:14:56 PM): (sure)
wyverncakes 10:15 pm
(10:15:10 PM): ... And it's then that a part of his chest suddenly cracks and falls off like so much rusted-over scrap.
(10:15:15 PM): Wait a second...
(10:15:17 PM): ... All this time...
(10:15:28 PM): ... Was Dio contaminated by the Ruin?
(10:15:31 PM): (Alright, gogogogo)
Mister Giggles 10:17 pm
(10:17:23 PM): And just then, Casshern flashsteps out from behind Lyuze, and reappears directly in front of Dio.
(10:17:24 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN6PDbfdTiU
(10:18:48 PM): *"Dio... that's why you will never surpass me." And with that, Casshern outstetches his hand, his fingers flattening, and thrusts his hand forward, going for the killing blow by attempting to stab his hand straight through Dio's chest.+
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:00 PM): [Casshern] Ah, but you're who he really wanted all this time, Casshern, and as you thrust forward with your hand, Dio mirrors the action perfectly! You both run each other through in one go... and at that..
(10:22:05 PM): Dio: "Ha... haha..."
Lake_of_Archers 10:22 pm
(10:22:20 PM): Bernie: ? !
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:33 PM): Dio's face begins to rust over, his entire body even...
VJockey 10:22 pm
(10:22:47 PM): Cora: "Oh hell.... MAN DOWN!"
Mister Giggles 10:22 pm
(10:22:48 PM): Casshern's eyes go wide. Blood begins dripping down his lips. But he doesn't pull Dio's hand out.
macprysm 10:22 pm
(10:22:51 PM): Cynthia: ...!
sketchbookfiend 10:22 pm
(10:22:57 PM): Kuuga: "Casshern!"
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:04 PM): And he reaches up, pulling Casshern's hand out of his body. No sooner does he manage that though, that limb completely rushes and shatters.
Meraxa 10:23 pm
(10:23:10 PM): Boss: ...O-Oi! Whats going on down there?!
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:18 PM): "... You didn't kill me."
(10:23:23 PM): "Even now..."
(10:23:35 PM): "It's the Ruin that takes me, not you, Casshern!"
Mister Giggles 10:23 pm
(10:23:47 PM): Casshern's breath is wheezing. "Goodbye... Dio. I hope... you'll enjoy the peace... I'll never have."
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:48 PM): For one reason or another, his corroded face is now turning up into a smile.
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:16 PM): "In failing to defeat me... you've lost. For this one moment... even the great Casshern, the immortal Casshern... could not match me...!"
(10:26:08 PM): With one last defiant pull with his remaining arm, he slashes the arm out of Casshern's body, taking more of the white robot's form with it. And after that, he collapses and falls back. Now completely Ruin'd... and then breaks apart into nothing.
(10:27:02 PM): And at that, a pained, mournfaul cry echoes across the battlefield.
(10:27:08 PM): The only one left is the source of it: Leda.
Nana Banana 10:27 pm
(10:27:39 PM): Lyuze expected a retaliation but she didn't expect to be tossed aside so easily. She rights herself, even as she struggles a bit. Casshern was fast, and she watched in horror as Dio's body was breaking down. Instinctively, she jerked towards Casshern when Dio's hit connects. "Casshern!" but stills as she notices Dio's Ruined form. She watches, silently, a spectator. That....was going to happen to her too. She closed her eyes for a moment at the fall of a great warrior. No matter how crazy and despite the fact that he was an enemy.
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:42 PM): Her beauty ruined and the man she loved dead, it's all the robot can do to stumble over to Dio's resting place, her hands holding the faint scrap that remains of him.
Mister Giggles 10:28 pm
(10:28:00 PM): Casshern falls backwards. He's clearly still alive, and even though the fibers of his skin are scrambling to reattach themselves, Casshern is still out of this fight. He's sustained way too much damage, and his Luna cells won't be able to repair it fast enough for it to matter.
wyverncakes 10:28 pm
(10:28:19 PM): Leda: "Dio... DIIIIIIOOOOOO!"
VJockey 10:28 pm
(10:28:41 PM): "Don't worry about it too much..."
(10:28:45 PM): "In a few seconds"
(10:28:50 PM): "You'll be with him."
(10:29:38 PM): *Leda would hear a low clunk as Mongrel raised his flamethrower. What happens next was a forgone conclusion as he burns her with what remained of Dio+
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:05 PM): Leda's not really complaining.
(10:30:15 PM): Mongrel had a very good point there, and, well...
(10:30:47 PM): She and Dio's remains go up in flames, gone forever along with Braiking Boss himself.
(10:31:41 PM): Luna's safety's been secured.
Mister Giggles 10:31 pm
(10:31:46 PM): Casshern's head rolls over, to watch what's left of Dio and Leda be incinerated. He'd talk about how senseless and cruel that seems to him, if his lungs would even work right now. His good arm tries to reach out for Lyuze's hand.
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:48 PM): Now all that's left is to get her back onto the Chalice.
sketchbookfiend 10:32 pm
(10:32:08 PM): Kuuga: "...This isn't how it should have been..."
VJockey 10:32 pm
(10:32:52 PM): Cora: "Mongrel... What the HELL?!"
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:53 PM): Luna: "But it's what she wanted."
(10:33:12 PM): MISSION
(10:33:13 PM): COMPLETE
Nana Banana 10:33 pm
(10:33:17 PM): Lyuze's eyes flicker over to Dio and Leda's remains before falling on Casshern. She walks over to him, reaching out until his hand is in hers.
macprysm 10:33 pm
(10:33:25 PM): Cynthia winces. "She didn't even try to fight back. A mercy kill?"
VJockey 10:33 pm
(10:33:26 PM): [The Half Britannian doesn't answer, but under that helmet is a sickening grin as he walks back to the shuttle.]
Mister Giggles 10:36 pm
(10:36:34 PM): Casshern looks over at Luna. She's safe... thank God. And so is Lyuze. Lyuze can still be saved, he can tell the Ruin is affecting her, but it's not too late.
