(8:13:53 PM): Black Lodge had launched another attack on the city of Arkham with its Destroyer Robots, and when the restored Demonbane came out to help with the defense, the Anticross member Caligula had come out to finally put an end to the machine!
(8:13:55 PM): HOWEVER!
(8:14:14 PM): With a little ingenuity and teamwork, Caligula was killed via Lemuria Impact!
(8:14:54 PM): Add on everyone repelling the Aurum invaders, and reports that Viridi's Forces of Nature have been lending a hand, and morale in Arkham's underground is actually on an upswing right now!
(8:14:56 PM): So how's everyone doing?
Overman Zappa 8:16 pm
(8:16:17 PM): Hiiro is running one last check to make sure the Zero System won't become a liability
Aero 8:16 pm
(8:16:25 PM): Kurou is back to exploring the Hadou underground base.
cubey@aol.pl 8:16 pm
(8:16:32 PM): Texotic can't do much at the moment, being a totally useless alien as far as anything that's not combat is concerned. She can however be sad and rather despirited. The reason? What happened to Richard recently.
(8:16:40 PM): She couldn't even talk to him.
tengusaur 8:17 pm
(8:17:03 PM): Werter is brewing up some mysterious concoction is his lab! It's actually a solution for making clean water, something the people in the sewers desperately need.
sketchbookfiend 8:17 pm
(8:17:36 PM): Yusuke is making sure he's ready to go, stacking up G1's old weapons so he can convert them in Chou Henshins for later.
Atrament Corel 8:17 pm
(8:17:43 PM): Nanoha is discussing something with some of the TSAB mages, they need to be ready if Black Lodge decides to attack again...
tengusaur 8:17 pm
(8:17:45 PM): Werter: "Alright, now carefully add just 5 mg..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:18 pm
(8:18:52 PM): Roads is going over reports from his work on the shiny brand new totally not just his old robot with a book loli added mecha. Meanwhile, Eibon hovers around him. "You know, a real sorcerer would have mastered at least one spell weapon by now…"
wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:24 PM): Nanoha, that was actually very, very smart of you though.
(8:20:31 PM): Because suddenly...!
(8:20:42 PM): Alarms begin to go off!
cubey@aol.pl 8:21 pm
(8:21:04 PM): Texotic: "What? What is going on now!"
tengusaur 8:21 pm
(8:21:14 PM): Werter almost spills the chemical everywhere! "Gah! Not now!"
Aero 8:21 pm
(8:21:55 PM): "They're back already?"
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:05 PM): Hadou maid: "Black Lodge forces have been detected inside the facility! I repeat, Black Lodge forces have-"
(8:22:19 PM): It's then that the broadcast devolved into static.
tengusaur 8:23 pm
(8:23:04 PM): Werter: "What. They managed to launch a surprise attack!"
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:05 PM): At once, the various groups begin to get ready.
Atrament Corel 8:23 pm
(8:23:10 PM): "They're here..." It's a bit too soon, but Nanoha doesn't mention that. She looks at her subordinates instead. "Move out! The safety of the civilians is the top priority."
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:23 pm
(8:23:32 PM): Roads: "….Looks like it's showtime." Eibon: "Seems they're closer than you expected. How are you going to do this without your robot?" Roads: "I dunno, somehow!" He'll be grabbing a gun, not that it will be much help.
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:14 PM): Federation marines and the Arkham police are already hustling to the armories to get weapons, the TSAB mages getting their barrier jackets out and their Devices ready.
cubey@aol.pl 8:24 pm
(8:24:24 PM): Texotic: "No, I won't let you hurt anyone else. Black Lodge, I will every last one of you!"
(8:24:53 PM): The Pilhua rises in silence, the lack of sound more ominous than its usual beastly roars.
tengusaur 8:24 pm
(8:24:57 PM): Werter: "Prometheus, come on! Time for another rematch..." He's already running down the corridors, with the small robot in tow!
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:01 PM): And the loud roar of gunfire can be heard coming from any number of directions! It's Black Lodge henchmen, armed with old-school gangster machineguns!
tengusaur 8:25 pm
(8:25:08 PM): Prometheus is still carrying an empty blass beaker with him.
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:18 PM): However, Kurou... you'll be finding someone stepping out of the shadows right in front of you.
(8:25:23 PM): It's...
(8:25:33 PM): Claudius: "And where do you think you're going, Kurou?!?"
(8:25:44 PM): (Claudius)
(8:25:54 PM): (For the time being, this can be a free action for people fighting mooks)
Aero 8:25 pm
(8:25:57 PM): Kurou: "Tch, I'm surprised you're still alive wind brat."
cubey@aol.pl 8:26 pm
(8:26:51 PM): *Henchmen will find that a lot of sharp blue tentacles suddenly shoot out at them somewhere from above. Powerful enough to skewer a machine, against a human the effects will be sorry...+
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:20 PM): At that, Claudius just grits his teeth and begins pulling out... a Kendama? "It was Caligula you killed you bastard! And you're going to regret doing that by the time I drive this thing through your fucking skull!"
(8:27:50 PM): Claudius charges at you Kurou, swininging with his kendama and letting the ball lash out at you with blinding speed!
Atrament Corel 8:29 pm
(8:29:03 PM): *Nanoha is already letting loose a number of pink homing spheres at the henchmen. For now, she's staying a little bit behind since she hasn't equipped her barrier jacket yet.+
wyverncakes 8:29 pm
(8:29:20 PM): (Kurou, you can react to that.)
Atrament Corel 8:29 pm
(8:29:24 PM): She also needs to locate Kurou.
tengusaur 8:29 pm
(8:29:46 PM): * Suddenly something jets in and slams into one of the masked mooks, sending him flying into a group of several more! The thing turns out to be a piece of power armor that just elbow-slammed that guy. +
Overman Zappa 8:29 pm
(8:29:53 PM): *Good ol Hiiro knows his way around a pistol. He takes quick aim and fires upon our mooky friends. As soon as he can, he's upgrading to one of their machine guns.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:30 pm
(8:30:11 PM): Roads will take up a cover position in one of the hallways and start shooting some dudes as best he can. "Seriously, tommy guns? What is this, the untouchables?"
tengusaur 8:30 pm
(8:30:20 PM): Werter: "Best birthday present ever."
(8:30:27 PM): Werter: "...Well, maybe second best. After my PC."
frifreeman 8:30 pm
(8:30:59 PM): Herb: What about my pangolin, Rival!?"
(8:31:16 PM): Herb jumps down from somewhere and start kicking the shit out of some mooks
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:19 PM): [Nanoha, Texotic, Heero, and Werter] Fortunately the Black Lodge mooks were never much of a threat to begin with, and you begin to tear into their forces! But the underground begins to rock awkwardly... on top of this, the Destroyer Robots have begun orbital bombardment again!
tengusaur 8:31 pm
(8:31:31 PM): Werter: "That might be #3... Woah!"
Aero 8:31 pm
(8:31:53 PM): Kurou draws a Scimitar of Barzai from his back. Surprisingly, old man Hadou kept a bunch of replicas around. "Try it you brat!" He slams the blade against Kendama. +
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:56 PM): Ayame: "Just our luck too. They're keeping us occupied until they can break through with their main forces. And Dan, get us in contact with Ruri and the others again, and soon!"
(8:32:05 PM): Dan: "I'm trying, it's just... they're not responding!"
Aero 8:32 pm
(8:32:29 PM): *Kendama ball
tengusaur 8:32 pm
(8:32:33 PM): Werter: "Tch... That just means we will have to break through to the mecha-sized battlefield on our own."
wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:30 PM): [Kurou] The blade and kendama clash, but that's no ordinary child's toy as you find out! You knock the ball back, but Claudius is already hurling a ton of tops at you... when they suddenly get all shot out of the way in one easy go! And standing there's your lovely gynoid admirer Elsa with her tonfa guns!
wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:35 PM): Elsa: "Darling!"
(8:33:52 PM): Claudius: "Eeeeeeeh... the Doctor's toaster come to the rescue then?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:34 pm
(8:34:18 PM): Roads: "More importantly, why do you get a powered armor!" Eibon: "Presumably, he complains less."
Aero 8:35 pm
(8:35:10 PM): Kurou: "Elsa!"
wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:01 PM): And with the assault beginning to happen though, Claudius just grits his teeth and turns off running...
(8:36:07 PM): ... Straight for Demonbane's hangar!
(8:36:28 PM): Claudius: "You're just a third-rate sorcerer anyways! However you got Demonbane repaired, it's not going to matter when I'm done with it!"
Aero 8:36 pm
(8:36:51 PM): Kurou: "SHIT, GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD."
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:07 PM): Unfortunately, said coward is moving along with lickety speed, Kurou.
Aero 8:37 pm
(8:37:23 PM): Kurou: "Crap."
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:25 PM): And eventually Elsa just grabs your arm. "Darling, hold on."
Aero 8:37 pm
(8:37:29 PM): Kurou: "Eh?"
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:49 PM): ... Before giving you nowhere near enough time to get ready as she suddenly BOLTS down the hall after Claudius, straight to Demonbane's hangar!
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:10 PM): Still though, Claudius has a sizeable lead, and you see him spring up to Demonbane's torso and begin channeling a spell!
(8:39:58 PM): "Alright, all that matters at the end of the day, is this thing's damn cockpit! If you can't move the controls, Demonbane's just a pile of junk! And then I'm going to burn you real, REAL slow for what you did to Caligula!"
(8:40:18 PM): His kendama ball flicks out, opening up Demonbane's chest to expose the cockpit...
Atrament Corel 8:40 pm
(8:40:46 PM): And while this is happening, those of you fighting the mooks will notice that Nanoha isn't there anymore...
(8:40:51 PM): That's because
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:20 PM): Claudius: "What the...?"
Atrament Corel 8:41 pm
(8:41:20 PM): There's now a golden staff pointed straight at Caligula.
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:28 PM): (You mean Claudius)
Atrament Corel 8:41 pm
(8:41:32 PM): And it's already fully charged
(8:41:37 PM): *yep, derp
(8:41:59 PM): Nanoha: "That's as far as you go..."
(8:42:12 PM): Nanoha: "Divine....BUSTER!!!"
(8:42:45 PM): *And cue the trademark giant pink beam!+
wyverncakes 8:42 pm
(8:42:54 PM): Claudius's eyes go wide... and then he's blasted full-force by the magical blast, screaming and smashed straight into and then through the walls of the hangar!
(8:43:07 PM): And it's then that the bombs rock the underground once more!
Aero 8:43 pm
(8:43:08 PM): Kurou: "Nanoha!? What are you doing in Demonbane?"
wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:27 PM): Ayame: "If this keeps up this place might just collapse in on us!"
cubey@aol.pl 8:43 pm
(8:43:35 PM): Texotic tries to break to the surface. How? Brute force.
wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:38 PM): "Everyone who's near their machine, launch!"
frifreeman 8:44 pm
(8:44:03 PM): Herb is still headbutting a mook again and again.
wyverncakes 8:44 pm
(8:44:05 PM): And at that, the various Eva-tastic elevator hatches all begin working, courtesy of one of the Hadou family's maids activating them!
tengusaur 8:44 pm
(8:44:16 PM): Werter: "Alright, there should be enough room now! Leave that guy alone Herb, let's go."
frifreeman 8:44 pm
(8:44:27 PM): Herb:"Gotcha! Let's go!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:44 pm
(8:44:55 PM): Roads grabs the book and runs, not waiting to hear any of Eibon's complaints.
Atrament Corel 8:45 pm
(8:45:04 PM): Nanoha: "I just stumbled on that little one's signature while I was looking for you, Kurou-san. This was where he seemed to be headed, so..."
sketchbookfiend 8:45 pm
(8:45:06 PM): Yusuke was kung fuing mooks, yep, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:18 PM): As you all get up to Arkham's surface, you can see that all the battles have seriously done a nasty number to the city
tengusaur 8:45 pm
(8:45:38 PM): Werter: "No-complaining power armor won't cut it here! Prometheus!" The tiny robot jumps out from beyond a crate and turns into a giant robot around Werter.
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:09 PM): Most of the buildings are absolutely pulverized, and there's wreckage from tons upon tons of Destroyer Robots and allied machines.
tengusaur 8:46 pm
(8:46:14 PM): Werter: "This place looks really bad now... Worse than usual, I mean..."
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:21 PM): And another wing of Destroyer Robots armed with bombs coming in to continue the assault!
(8:46:58 PM): (Lineup: Werter, Yusuke, Texotic, Heero, Roads, Herb, Nanoha, Kurou)
sketchbookfiend 8:47 pm
(8:47:13 PM): Kuuga: "It's not going to be much of a place much longer if this keeps up."
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:17 PM): (Current enemies: Destroyer Robots x 75)
(8:47:19 PM): HOWEVER!
(8:47:25 PM): Kurou, Nanoha!
(8:47:34 PM): (Werter, Yusuke)
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:54 PM): As you get primed to launch and join everyone, suddenly you hear a loud, pained, and very angry cry as Claudius comes landing back down on the ground of the hangar!
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:47 pm
(8:47:59 PM): "Okay, so let's see if this thing works or not…Gotta love doing a baptism by fire." Roads types in some commands real quick, getting the Zweilicht booted up, while Eibon splits up into her component pages and sticks to the walls of the mecha. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained…Launching!" And up the catapault he goes.
Overman Zappa 8:48 pm
(8:48:07 PM): Hiiro isn't near his robot, but he can get there PDQ
wyverncakes 8:48 pm
(8:48:43 PM): And curiously, a torando's beginning to kick up in the hangar!
(8:48:58 PM): Claudius: "It's not over yet..... EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Atrament Corel 8:49 pm
(8:49:10 PM): Nanoha: "Nnh!"
Aero 8:49 pm
(8:49:18 PM): Kurou: "Oh no..."
wyverncakes 8:49 pm
(8:49:23 PM): "IAA! IAA! HASTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!!!!!"
(8:49:47 PM): And Claudius wrenches free his grimoire! "Cealano Fragments!"
wyverncakes 8:50 pm
(8:50:21 PM): As he does so, his Deus Machina Lord Byakhee begins to form behind him, and just for extra dickery you catch the glint of something small hurtling towards you! More of those tops!
(8:50:25 PM): Elsa: "Darling!"
tengusaur 8:50 pm
(8:50:50 PM): * Werter: "All my wide-area attacks are ground based, and I doubt the underground will take much more here... Let's just do this!" Prometheus rushes at the first close Destroyer Robot, shoulder-tackling it into several more! And then follows up by charging straight through the enemy group and trying to pierce through as many as he can with the drill lance! +
wyverncakes 8:51 pm
(8:51:08 PM): Unable to intercept them this time, Elsa's moving to block them with her own body, the tops smashing through her frame in multiple places as Claudius springs up to Lord Byakhee's cockpit!
(8:51:18 PM): Claudius: "All I needed was a second! You won't get Demonbane active in time!"
(8:51:36 PM): ... Except...
(8:51:51 PM): Claudius didn't realize that Lord Byakhee was mounted on another of the catapault elevators!
(8:52:17 PM): And suddenly there's the loud roar of it activating... with Claudius yelping in shock and surprise as his Deus Machina is ejected to the surface as well!
wyverncakes 8:52 pm
(8:52:43 PM): Off to the side, you can see Hadou Maid Whose Name I Forgot giving you a thumbs up.
(8:52:54 PM): (Adjusted enemy headcount; Destroyer Robots x 75, Lord Byakhee (Claudius))
Aero 8:52 pm
(8:52:57 PM): Kurou: "Thanks Chiaki!"
(8:53:02 PM): He'll run over to Elsa now though.
Atrament Corel 8:53 pm
(8:53:08 PM): Nanoha will do the same.
sketchbookfiend 8:53 pm
(8:53:20 PM): *Kuuga is going to get his Pegasus on, converting one of the Scorpion pistol to a Bowgun and take aim to find the perfect spot- and fires up a shot towards a bomb hoping to cause a chain explosion among the airborne destroyer robots.+
wyverncakes 8:54 pm
(8:54:14 PM): [Werter] That first Robot crumples just like tissue paper from Prometheus's charge, and the others are knocked away and damaged as well... but in retaliation some of the newly-arriving bombers hurl their bunker busters at Prometheus to take it out for its boldness!
(8:54:17 PM): (React: Werter)
wyverncakes 8:54 pm
(8:54:57 PM): Elsa's getting back up onto her feet, but looking pretty torn up all the same.
Aero 8:55 pm
(8:55:31 PM): Kurou: "Are you alright?"
wyverncakes 8:55 pm
(8:55:49 PM): Elsa: "O-oh Kurou!" She's already moving to wrap her arms around you... but it's not just for affection. Her legs look seriously straining to keep her standing right now. "Seeing you alive and caring about me, it mroe than gives me the strength to continue fighting in the name of our love!"
tengusaur 8:56 pm
(8:56:01 PM): *Werter: "There's not much left of this city, but I won't let you blow it up completely!" A mass of plasma forms in Prometheus' arms and turns into a giant green tennis racket! Werter uses it to try to send the bombs back towards the robots who dropped them! +
wyverncakes 8:57 pm
(8:57:22 PM): [Yusuke] Your shot comes hurtling out, striking one of the other bombers! And there's a brief flash from where your arrow landed... before the bomb explodes, taking a few more of the Destroyer Robots along with it! But before you can celebrate, your Pegasus senses are going to be hearing the sound of a sword cutting through the air straight towards you!
(8:57:25 PM): (React: Yusuke!)
Aero 8:57 pm
(8:57:27 PM): Kurou pushes her off slowly. "You're in no condition to fight Elsa."
Atrament Corel 8:57 pm
(8:57:42 PM): Nanoha: "...Mm...not with that amount of damage..."
wyverncakes 8:58 pm
(8:58:19 PM): Elsa: "B-but Darling! Whether this body is in one piece or several, I'm still the only way we can operate Demonbane! And the Anticross is still up there!"
sketchbookfiend 8:58 pm
(8:58:31 PM): *Kuuga quickly spins to face the sword noise and holds up his gun sideways to block the attack, because his weapons are a lot sturdier than he is, especially in this form.+
Aero 8:59 pm
(8:59:12 PM): Kurou: "No...I think I have an idea..."
Atrament Corel 8:59 pm
(8:59:32 PM): Nanoha: "Kurou-san?"
wyverncakes 8:59 pm
(8:59:42 PM): [Werter] You swat back several of the bombs, two of them taking their throwers with them! Though it's a bit of a close call, and some of the busters went off closer to you than you would probably like.
tengusaur 9:00 pm
(9:00:14 PM): Werter: "That was close... But it worked, so I'm not complaining."
(9:00:37 PM): Werter: "There's only one Anticross member, but watch out, he's really damn fast! Limit his mobility somehow!"
wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:11 PM): [Yusuke] And your gun does its job, catching a katana held by none other than Titus! However, the man looks bloodied and bruised, like he's just come from a rather difficult fight.
wyverncakes 9:01 pm
(9:01:49 PM): Titus: "... How fortunate." He's smiling weakly. "Defeating Hadou's bodyguard, and now this."
sketchbookfiend 9:01 pm

wyverncakes 9:02 pm
(9:02:01 PM): (Texotic, Heero)
cubey@aol.pl 9:02 pm
(9:02:04 PM): *Pilhua sends rubble flying everywhere as it breaks to the surface. The unit does not stop there, and rushes forward towards the closest Destroyer Robot. Texotic grabs the enemy and punches it with a wild swinging blow - then, a Mitl erupts from her Pilhua's forehead crystal, impaling the foe and propelling it towards the rest of the flight group, piercing through as many targets on the way as possible.+
wyverncakes 9:02 pm

wyverncakes 9:03 pm

sketchbookfiend 9:03 pm
(9:03:54 PM): Kuuga: "...Then that's just one more person I have to avenge against you people."
wyverncakes 9:05 pm
(9:05:13 PM): [Texotic] Yeah, poor, AI Destroyer Robots. They're especially not used to the tentacles being used against them! To say nothing about the others that are confused as to why one of their ranks is hurtling their way! It finally explodes, but not before taking another seven with them!
troublefirecat has left the room. 9:05 pm
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:08 PM): Titus: "Hadou's bodyguard fought marvelously... making good on his claims of the greatness of mere boxing. But in the end, he was only human."
(9:06:29 PM): Careful what you say, Titus. There's an Irgelion who's not going to take kindly to saying "mere boxing". To bad she's not here right now.
Overman Zappa 9:06 pm
(9:06:42 PM): *Hiiro doesn't play any games, and draws his beam saber, saving the gun inside the shield. With all of Wing Zero's quickness, he cuts his way from one Destroyer to another, turning to fire vulcans at a third+
wyverncakes 9:06 pm
(9:06:48 PM): (Roads, Herb)

arachnion01@gmail.com 9:08 pm
(9:08:05 PM): *"So the gang's all here, then…Eibon! Let's see how fast this thing can go!" "Roger." Roads summons a shotgun and his sword, and the Zweilicht becomes a yellow blur, zigzagging between the destroyer robots at extreme speed, dishing out shotgun blasts and sword strikes in equal measure.+
wyverncakes 9:08 pm
(9:08:49 PM): [Heero] Two more Destroyer Robots fall, and your vulcans begin to chew up a third because goddamn those things fell to Demonbane's too so wtf is with their weird armor?

Demonbane's barrier is the first line of defense against it... and Nanoha, you're going to feel just all kinds of hell trying to keep it up! No, worse than that you can feel something gnawing at the very fiber of your being and draining your strength rapidly... until you can no longer maintain the transformed state for Demonbane!

Even with Demonbane trying to defend you, your defenses break with ease, and Epimetheus's body begins to melt away (though not entirely) and Wing Zero's shield and shield arm are completely just a puddle of molten goo. Even Gundanium is nothing compared to this kind of power.

wyverncakes 10:59 pm

(11:00:04 PM): "... The power to raise once more the innocent blade?"
Overman Zappa 11:00 pm

arachnion01@gmail.com 11:00 pm

vertigojockey@gmail.com has entered the room. 11:01 pm
Aero 11:01 pm

VJockey 11:02 pm

VJockey 11:04 pm

wyverncakes 11:04 pm

(11:05:12 PM): But someone else... well...
(11:05:14 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deg1RHwmKpo

VJockey 11:06 pm

wyverncakes 11:06 pm

arachnion01@gmail.com 11:09 pm

Overman Zappa 11:10 pm

cubey@aol.pl 11:10 pm

VJockey 11:11 pm

wyverncakes 11:12 pm

Hiiro still cannot really fathom these magical things, but, it's there. May as well take advantage of it.

It flies up closer and closer to the red core - getting near, but without touching it. When it is right by, Texotic Pilhua unleashes it all. Enough mitl to cut through and obliterate every single bit that makes the core itself.+
Overman Zappa 11:16 pm

Atrament Corel 11:18 pm

(11:19:09 PM): *Eibon: "Master. The necronomicon is back to her full strength. Do try to keep up." Roads: "No problem!" The Zweilicht runs away, out of town, leaving the area. No…Roads is getting distance to build up speed. More speed than he's ever gotten before. So once he's a good distance away, the robot turns back, and it runs, and runs, magical circuits straining to the max as it surpasses the laws of physics, all in the name of speed. There's no time for a kick or anything so complicated-Roads just folds the robot's arm in front of him, forms the best shield he can around his front and dives straight at the red core, opening fire with his flaming grenades as he passes through the mass of flies at ludicrous speed.+
tengusaur 11:19 pm
(11:19:40 PM): A powerful defensive plasma field surrounds both robots! Both of them leap into the air and... disassemble into pieces! Pieces that start to combine, with extra mechanical parts growing between them. The whole process is accompanied by lots of clanking noises and sparks flying around, and a larger shape is quickly forming...
(11:19:51 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1MDyecckpk
(11:19:58 PM): The two robots combine into a single giant, 35 meters tall! It looks similar to Prometheus and Epimetheus, but more human-like, resembling a warrior with jet-black skin wearing ancient, ivory-white armor.
(11:20:04 PM): A pair of large wings springs from the warrior's back, made from hundreds of constantly spinning gears.
(11:20:11 PM): The robot's helmet resembles Prometheus' head, but the face is much more human-like. There's not much of it visible though, between the pair of thick goggles on its eyes and a long scarf of green plasma around its neck, fluttering in the wind.
(11:20:22 PM): Werter: "You already know Logos, Tiberius."
(11:20:35 PM): Werter: "But let me introduce you... To our own army!"

tengusaur 11:21 pm
(11:21:53 PM): * The human wave crashes into Tiberius' monstruous machine and grabs onto it, each green plasma person burning into it! +

Atrament Corel 11:23 pm
(11:23:09 PM): Nanoha: "Raising Heart...BLASTER ONE!" On that command, two golden remote weapons resembling Raising Heart's golden 'head' appear next to her!
wyverncakes 11:23 pm

The De Vermis Mysteriis form Belzebuth is torn more than a few new ones, cutting open a way to the admittedly STILL regenerating core... BUT!

wyverncakes 11:24 pm

Atrament Corel 11:36 pm
(11:36:52 PM): Raising Heart: "Re-calculating. Potential...unknown. I advise escape."
VJockey 11:37 pm
(11:37:02 PM): [The destroyer robot flings its drills to the air and trundles away in a confused huff.]
wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(11:37:03 PM): All of you abscond as quickly as humanly possible, leaving Demonbane alone to face the cowering form of the De Vermis Mysteriis's core.
Atrament Corel 11:37 pm
(11:37:13 PM): Nanoha nods. "Mmh!" And time to get out of here!
Overman Zappa 11:37 pm
(11:37:32 PM): Hiiro doesn't understand the power of the glowing stick either. But it sounds very mathmagical.
tengusaur 11:37 pm
(11:37:49 PM): Werter: "Anyone needs help?" Yeah, maybe some people are too slow or somehow got damaged in the meantime, gotta check just to be sure!
sketchbookfiend 11:37 pm
(11:37:52 PM): Kuuga: "Gouram, let's move!" And the beetle takes off with Kuuga grasping onto it's side for support.
Aero 11:38 pm
(11:38:21 PM): * The power from the sword is overwhelming. Demonbane moves on it's own pointing the stick at Tiberius. "So then we just unleash it on him then." There was nothing stopping it. Despite just obtaining the weapon the machine has no problems wielding it. Demonbane charges the core of Tiberius and once it reached it's target the Shining Trapezohedron is thrust into the core and dragged up. There is a gigantic burst of energy, not only that but as the sword leaves the flesh of the core SPACE ITSELF IS CUT IN HALF. Inside of the void is just...absolute other. It's taking all of Kurou's strength to not go insane.
(11:39:05 PM): Kurou: "You know...now I'm really glad that you are immortal Tiberius."
wyverncakes 11:39 pm
(11:39:09 PM): And at that, the core begins to be sucked inside of the rip.
wyverncakes 11:40 pm
(11:40:19 PM): Some of you that are closer will be able to see glimpses of things your mind just wants to refuse ever existed.
(11:40:30 PM): Some things are easier to digest... but still terrible
(11:40:56 PM): And you might want to focus instead on the image of Tiberius, mask blue and turned downwards in terror, clinging desperately to the ground as he's being pulled towards that rip.
Overman Zappa 11:41 pm
(11:41:13 PM): Wing Zero flips over and turns around. Neo-Bird... OUT
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:18 PM): Tiberius: "No... NONONONONONONONO! Y-You had your fun, Kurou! You really did! It was hilarious... it really was!"
(11:41:47 PM): "But please,,, don't send me there. DON'T SEND ME-" And his grip loosens and he slips another foot back into the void. "DON'T SEND ME THERE!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:41 pm

Aero 11:42 pm
(11:42:49 PM): Kurou: "The souls of women, of children, of those who couldn't defend themselves. I'm not going to let you die Tiberius. Enjoy your immortality, you earned it."
wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:55 PM): His fingernails break off with a disturbing snapping noise.
(11:43:14 PM): His face smashes into the ground, his mask being pulled off... and you can all see what lies behind the clown mask.
(11:43:42 PM): A rotting skull, the undead husk of a man who gave everything up for the sake of power and immortality.
(11:44:00 PM): An immortal life he now wishes very much so that someone, anyone, would end for him.
(11:44:07 PM): He'll never get that wish granted.
wyverncakes 11:44 pm
(11:44:31 PM): Tiberius is pulled into the void, to become nothing more than the playing for the Court of Azathoth for all of eternity.
tengusaur 11:44 pm
(11:44:42 PM): Werter: "That was really cruel."
wyverncakes 11:44 pm

tengusaur 11:44 pm

wyverncakes 11:44 pm

sketchbookfiend 11:45 pm

wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:06 PM): And finally.
tengusaur 11:46 pm
(11:46:21 PM): Werter: "Tiberius is gone. But what about Cthulhu? And Nero?"
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:45 PM): As is appropriate, the sun finally can cast its light once more on what's left of Arkham City.
sketchbookfiend 11:47 pm
(11:47:01 PM): Kuuga: "We have to find it again first."
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:13 PM): Maxene: "It's possible that Nero took Cthulhu away from this place."
Aero 11:47 pm
(11:47:30 PM): Kurou: "Why would she do that?"
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:35 PM): "Or it was a self-preservation action brought on by the arrival of the Trapazohedron."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:47 pm
(11:47:48 PM): Eibon: "Can she even manage a teleport of that scale? Her power is great, but…the latter seems more likely."
wyverncakes 11:47 pm

VJockey 11:47 pm

tengusaur 11:48 pm

wyverncakes 11:48 pm

tengusaur 11:48 pm

tengusaur 11:49 pm

Overman Zappa 11:49 pm

tengusaur 11:50 pm

tengusaur 11:50 pm

wyverncakes 8:13 pm
(8:13:53 PM): Black Lodge had launched another attack on the city of Arkham with its Destroyer Robots, and when the restored Demonbane came out to help with the defense, the Anticross member Caligula had come out to finally put an end to the machine!
(8:13:55 PM): HOWEVER!
(8:14:14 PM): With a little ingenuity and teamwork, Caligula was killed via Lemuria Impact!
(8:14:54 PM): Add on everyone repelling the Aurum invaders, and reports that Viridi's Forces of Nature have been lending a hand, and morale in Arkham's underground is actually on an upswing right now!
(8:14:56 PM): So how's everyone doing?
Overman Zappa 8:16 pm
(8:16:17 PM): Hiiro is running one last check to make sure the Zero System won't become a liability
Aero 8:16 pm
(8:16:25 PM): Kurou is back to exploring the Hadou underground base.
cubey@aol.pl 8:16 pm
(8:16:32 PM): Texotic can't do much at the moment, being a totally useless alien as far as anything that's not combat is concerned. She can however be sad and rather despirited. The reason? What happened to Richard recently.
(8:16:40 PM): She couldn't even talk to him.
tengusaur 8:17 pm
(8:17:03 PM): Werter is brewing up some mysterious concoction is his lab! It's actually a solution for making clean water, something the people in the sewers desperately need.
sketchbookfiend 8:17 pm
(8:17:36 PM): Yusuke is making sure he's ready to go, stacking up G1's old weapons so he can convert them in Chou Henshins for later.
Atrament Corel 8:17 pm
(8:17:43 PM): Nanoha is discussing something with some of the TSAB mages, they need to be ready if Black Lodge decides to attack again...
tengusaur 8:17 pm
(8:17:45 PM): Werter: "Alright, now carefully add just 5 mg..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:18 pm

wyverncakes 8:20 pm
(8:20:24 PM): Nanoha, that was actually very, very smart of you though.
(8:20:31 PM): Because suddenly...!

cubey@aol.pl 8:21 pm

tengusaur 8:21 pm

Aero 8:21 pm
(8:21:55 PM): "They're back already?"
wyverncakes 8:22 pm
(8:22:05 PM): Hadou maid: "Black Lodge forces have been detected inside the facility! I repeat, Black Lodge forces have-"

tengusaur 8:23 pm
(8:23:04 PM): Werter: "What. They managed to launch a surprise attack!"
wyverncakes 8:23 pm
(8:23:05 PM): At once, the various groups begin to get ready.
Atrament Corel 8:23 pm
(8:23:10 PM): "They're here..." It's a bit too soon, but Nanoha doesn't mention that. She looks at her subordinates instead. "Move out! The safety of the civilians is the top priority."
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:23 pm
(8:23:32 PM): Roads: "….Looks like it's showtime." Eibon: "Seems they're closer than you expected. How are you going to do this without your robot?" Roads: "I dunno, somehow!" He'll be grabbing a gun, not that it will be much help.
wyverncakes 8:24 pm
(8:24:14 PM): Federation marines and the Arkham police are already hustling to the armories to get weapons, the TSAB mages getting their barrier jackets out and their Devices ready.
cubey@aol.pl 8:24 pm
(8:24:24 PM): Texotic: "No, I won't let you hurt anyone else. Black Lodge, I will every last one of you!"
(8:24:53 PM): The Pilhua rises in silence, the lack of sound more ominous than its usual beastly roars.
tengusaur 8:24 pm
(8:24:57 PM): Werter: "Prometheus, come on! Time for another rematch..." He's already running down the corridors, with the small robot in tow!
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:01 PM): And the loud roar of gunfire can be heard coming from any number of directions! It's Black Lodge henchmen, armed with old-school gangster machineguns!
tengusaur 8:25 pm
(8:25:08 PM): Prometheus is still carrying an empty blass beaker with him.
wyverncakes 8:25 pm
(8:25:18 PM): However, Kurou... you'll be finding someone stepping out of the shadows right in front of you.
(8:25:23 PM): It's...
(8:25:33 PM): Claudius: "And where do you think you're going, Kurou?!?"

(8:25:54 PM): (For the time being, this can be a free action for people fighting mooks)
Aero 8:25 pm
(8:25:57 PM): Kurou: "Tch, I'm surprised you're still alive wind brat."
cubey@aol.pl 8:26 pm
(8:26:51 PM): *Henchmen will find that a lot of sharp blue tentacles suddenly shoot out at them somewhere from above. Powerful enough to skewer a machine, against a human the effects will be sorry...+
wyverncakes 8:27 pm
(8:27:20 PM): At that, Claudius just grits his teeth and begins pulling out... a Kendama? "It was Caligula you killed you bastard! And you're going to regret doing that by the time I drive this thing through your fucking skull!"
(8:27:50 PM): Claudius charges at you Kurou, swininging with his kendama and letting the ball lash out at you with blinding speed!
Atrament Corel 8:29 pm
(8:29:03 PM): *Nanoha is already letting loose a number of pink homing spheres at the henchmen. For now, she's staying a little bit behind since she hasn't equipped her barrier jacket yet.+

tengusaur 8:29 pm

Overman Zappa 8:29 pm
(8:29:53 PM): *Good ol Hiiro knows his way around a pistol. He takes quick aim and fires upon our mooky friends. As soon as he can, he's upgrading to one of their machine guns.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:30 pm
(8:30:11 PM): Roads will take up a cover position in one of the hallways and start shooting some dudes as best he can. "Seriously, tommy guns? What is this, the untouchables?"
tengusaur 8:30 pm
(8:30:20 PM): Werter: "Best birthday present ever."

frifreeman 8:30 pm
(8:30:59 PM): Herb: What about my pangolin, Rival!?"
(8:31:16 PM): Herb jumps down from somewhere and start kicking the shit out of some mooks
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:19 PM): [Nanoha, Texotic, Heero, and Werter] Fortunately the Black Lodge mooks were never much of a threat to begin with, and you begin to tear into their forces! But the underground begins to rock awkwardly... on top of this, the Destroyer Robots have begun orbital bombardment again!
tengusaur 8:31 pm
(8:31:31 PM): Werter: "That might be #3... Woah!"
Aero 8:31 pm
(8:31:53 PM): Kurou draws a Scimitar of Barzai from his back. Surprisingly, old man Hadou kept a bunch of replicas around. "Try it you brat!" He slams the blade against Kendama. +
wyverncakes 8:31 pm
(8:31:56 PM): Ayame: "Just our luck too. They're keeping us occupied until they can break through with their main forces. And Dan, get us in contact with Ruri and the others again, and soon!"

tengusaur 8:32 pm

wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:30 PM): [Kurou] The blade and kendama clash, but that's no ordinary child's toy as you find out! You knock the ball back, but Claudius is already hurling a ton of tops at you... when they suddenly get all shot out of the way in one easy go! And standing there's your lovely gynoid admirer Elsa with her tonfa guns!
wyverncakes 8:33 pm
(8:33:35 PM): Elsa: "Darling!"
(8:33:52 PM): Claudius: "Eeeeeeeh... the Doctor's toaster come to the rescue then?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:34 pm

Aero 8:35 pm
(8:35:10 PM): Kurou: "Elsa!"
wyverncakes 8:36 pm
(8:36:01 PM): And with the assault beginning to happen though, Claudius just grits his teeth and turns off running...
(8:36:07 PM): ... Straight for Demonbane's hangar!
(8:36:28 PM): Claudius: "You're just a third-rate sorcerer anyways! However you got Demonbane repaired, it's not going to matter when I'm done with it!"
Aero 8:36 pm
(8:36:51 PM): Kurou: "SHIT, GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD."
wyverncakes 8:37 pm

Aero 8:37 pm
(8:37:23 PM): Kurou: "Crap."
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:25 PM): And eventually Elsa just grabs your arm. "Darling, hold on."
Aero 8:37 pm
(8:37:29 PM): Kurou: "Eh?"
wyverncakes 8:37 pm
(8:37:49 PM): ... Before giving you nowhere near enough time to get ready as she suddenly BOLTS down the hall after Claudius, straight to Demonbane's hangar!
wyverncakes 8:39 pm
(8:39:10 PM): Still though, Claudius has a sizeable lead, and you see him spring up to Demonbane's torso and begin channeling a spell!
(8:39:58 PM): "Alright, all that matters at the end of the day, is this thing's damn cockpit! If you can't move the controls, Demonbane's just a pile of junk! And then I'm going to burn you real, REAL slow for what you did to Caligula!"
(8:40:18 PM): His kendama ball flicks out, opening up Demonbane's chest to expose the cockpit...
Atrament Corel 8:40 pm
(8:40:46 PM): And while this is happening, those of you fighting the mooks will notice that Nanoha isn't there anymore...
(8:40:51 PM): That's because
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:20 PM): Claudius: "What the...?"
Atrament Corel 8:41 pm
(8:41:20 PM): There's now a golden staff pointed straight at Caligula.
wyverncakes 8:41 pm
(8:41:28 PM): (You mean Claudius)
Atrament Corel 8:41 pm
(8:41:32 PM): And it's already fully charged

(8:42:12 PM): Nanoha: "Divine....BUSTER!!!"
(8:42:45 PM): *And cue the trademark giant pink beam!+
wyverncakes 8:42 pm
(8:42:54 PM): Claudius's eyes go wide... and then he's blasted full-force by the magical blast, screaming and smashed straight into and then through the walls of the hangar!
(8:43:07 PM): And it's then that the bombs rock the underground once more!
Aero 8:43 pm
(8:43:08 PM): Kurou: "Nanoha!? What are you doing in Demonbane?"
wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:27 PM): Ayame: "If this keeps up this place might just collapse in on us!"
cubey@aol.pl 8:43 pm

wyverncakes 8:43 pm
(8:43:38 PM): "Everyone who's near their machine, launch!"
frifreeman 8:44 pm
(8:44:03 PM): Herb is still headbutting a mook again and again.
wyverncakes 8:44 pm
(8:44:05 PM): And at that, the various Eva-tastic elevator hatches all begin working, courtesy of one of the Hadou family's maids activating them!
tengusaur 8:44 pm
(8:44:16 PM): Werter: "Alright, there should be enough room now! Leave that guy alone Herb, let's go."
frifreeman 8:44 pm
(8:44:27 PM): Herb:"Gotcha! Let's go!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:44 pm

(8:45:06 PM): Yusuke was kung fuing mooks, yep, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
wyverncakes 8:45 pm
(8:45:18 PM): As you all get up to Arkham's surface, you can see that all the battles have seriously done a nasty number to the city
tengusaur 8:45 pm
(8:45:38 PM): Werter: "No-complaining power armor won't cut it here! Prometheus!" The tiny robot jumps out from beyond a crate and turns into a giant robot around Werter.
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:09 PM): Most of the buildings are absolutely pulverized, and there's wreckage from tons upon tons of Destroyer Robots and allied machines.
tengusaur 8:46 pm
(8:46:14 PM): Werter: "This place looks really bad now... Worse than usual, I mean..."
wyverncakes 8:46 pm
(8:46:21 PM): And another wing of Destroyer Robots armed with bombs coming in to continue the assault!
(8:46:58 PM): (Lineup: Werter, Yusuke, Texotic, Heero, Roads, Herb, Nanoha, Kurou)
sketchbookfiend 8:47 pm

(8:47:25 PM): Kurou, Nanoha!
(8:47:34 PM): (Werter, Yusuke)
wyverncakes 8:47 pm
(8:47:54 PM): As you get primed to launch and join everyone, suddenly you hear a loud, pained, and very angry cry as Claudius comes landing back down on the ground of the hangar!
arachnion01@gmail.com 8:47 pm
(8:47:59 PM): "Okay, so let's see if this thing works or not…Gotta love doing a baptism by fire." Roads types in some commands real quick, getting the Zweilicht booted up, while Eibon splits up into her component pages and sticks to the walls of the mecha. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained…Launching!" And up the catapault he goes.
Overman Zappa 8:48 pm
(8:48:07 PM): Hiiro isn't near his robot, but he can get there PDQ
wyverncakes 8:48 pm
(8:48:43 PM): And curiously, a torando's beginning to kick up in the hangar!

At those speeds, Ruri will become nothing more than a smear on the chest plate…but Roads comes to a stop, by way of landing on Beelzebuth's face. He'll try to grab that princess and blast off right back the way he came!+

"Oooh, just in time, Claudius!" And then Belzebuth just TEARS itself free of the Mitl, allowing it to grab Zweilicht by the head and begin to electrocture it viciously!

He ditches the guns, summoning instead the massive pile bunker shield-and dashes straight towards Beelzebub, striking at its remaining arm. The weapon fires while Tiberius is busy talking about Nero, sending three very large…spikes towards Beelzebuth's shoulder. "Watch it! If anyone can surpass a deus machina with some cheap imitation, it's gonna be me!+

No, worse than that you can feel something gnawing at the very fiber of your being and draining your strength rapidly... until you can no longer maintain the transformed state for Demonbane!

Even with Demonbane trying to defend you, your defenses break with ease, and Epimetheus's body begins to melt away (though not entirely) and Wing Zero's shield and shield arm are completely just a puddle of molten goo. Even Gundanium is nothing compared to this kind of power.

(10:39:08 PM): Werter: "...Even your own allies?"
wyverncakes 10:39 pm
(10:39:11 PM): And with that, all that's left on the battlefield is Tiberius
(10:39:16 PM): And the Belzebuth's monstrous form.
Atrament Corel 10:39 pm
(10:39:18 PM): The red sphere that is Raising Heart's physical form flashes for a moment in response to Kurou. "Unfortunately, such spells are not my speciality."
Overman Zappa 10:39 pm
(10:39:26 PM): Hiiro's pretty ticked at the loss of his arm, but at the least he still has a good arm, and his gun. that's what matters, the gun!
wyverncakes 10:39 pm
(10:39:37 PM): Tiberius: "Oh come on now! We killed our own grandmaster!"
wyverncakes 10:39 pm
(10:39:47 PM): "What part of 'greatest sinners' can't you understand, honey?"
(10:40:59 PM): (And actually, since it's only one enemy, everyone who wants to attack can now)
VJockey 10:41 pm
(10:41:55 PM): "Tiberius! You disgusting, slimy, squirmy thing! Your vileness is only exceeded by your perversion - which is almost as bad as Daijuuji's!!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:42 pm
(10:42:05 PM): Texotic: "So you take pride in your villainy?"
Aero 10:42 pm
(10:42:07 PM): Luckily Kurou can't hear that right now.
VJockey 10:42 pm
(10:42:18 PM): "I'm looking forward to cowing you with my BRILLIANCE!"
tengusaur 10:42 pm
(10:42:28 PM): Werter: "I don't have access to any plasma attacks worth a damn right now... But on a worm like you, that's enough!" Prometheus' eye suddenly flashes, and the robot jumps straight up, only to descend down at the monstruous Belzebuth lance-first! Werter drills for a moment, sending sparks flying around, then punches the lance in several times with the free fist, to make it go deeper! +

(10:42:39 PM): Eibon: "Master, the enemy's form is no longer solid. Your usual methods will not function." Roads: "Yeah, yeah, I got it. Yo! Necromancer! All I want you to remember, all I want you to know, is that when you had the chance to do whatever you wanted with Ruri Hadou…"
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:41 PM): Tiberius: "Hmph! Please, I've sacrificed all sense of honor and goodness in the name of my power!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:42 pm
(10:42:50 PM): "…I took that away."
Overman Zappa 10:42 pm
(10:42:52 PM): *with that one good arm, and two shots in which to make good with, Hiiro points the Twin Buster at the mass that is Belzebuth and opens fire, trying to make the most of his 2nd shot.
tengusaur 10:43 pm
(10:43:24 PM): Werter: "I had darkness in my heart once already! And guess what, it was awful!"
sketchbookfiend 10:43 pm
(10:43:43 PM): *Kuuga grips his fists in rage before calling up Gouram, and leaping onto the beetle, taking a flying towards Tiberiu and the Beelzebuth, his armor shifting red as he throws the rebar towards the ground. His foot sparking and heating up as he flies in closer and closer, and once he's in range he leaps launches into a RIDER KICK. He honestly had no words for this monster, only his disdain and rage.+
wyverncakes 10:43 pm
(10:43:48 PM): "Look above you! The great Cthulhu is there, doing NOTHING! But I'm going to have wonderful, happy fun times with ALL of you and ALL your friends and you can live in me and the De Vermis Mysteriis forever and ever!"
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:01 PM): "And soon enough you'll all be so broken that you can't call me such mean names at all!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:44 pm
(10:44:07 PM): "You really are... worse than Over Being!" *As little as there is that remains of Texotic Pilhua, mitl erupt from every single inch of its surface available. Twisting and turning, they all shoot up, aiming at the red thing in center of De Vermis. If only one can hit, just one!+
Aero 10:45 pm
(10:45:00 PM): * "Raising Heart if Demonbane is attacked again activate the Imaginary Catapult to send Nanoha and Demonbane back." Kurou then climbs out of the cockpit with the Tyrant's pistols. "LOOK AT THAT TIBERIUS YOU FAILED TO KILL ME AGAIN." He aims at the core of the mass and unloads the rest of Cthugha at it. +
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:45 pm
(10:45:24 PM): *Roads summons his shotguns, and proceeds bathe the entire form of De Vermis Mysteriies in cleansing, holy fire. "Well you'll have to catch me first."+
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:07 PM): [Werter] Your lance is stabbed straight into the miasma. It's solid enough to hold it, but Tiberius just giggles with glee. "Ooooh... and is that supposed to tickle?" After a few moments, the lance is then shot straight out towards Prometheus like a bullet from a gun!
Atrament Corel 10:46 pm
(10:46:08 PM): Raising Heart: "Alright. Good luck."
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:10 PM): (React: Werter)
VJockey 10:46 pm
(10:46:17 PM): *Is there really anything else that can be done? West has Elsa fire EVERYTHING before following it up with a quadruple drill tornado - in fact his firepower was caught by the whirlwind and is sent even faster in a spiralling maelstrom of dakkatastic death!+
tengusaur 10:48 pm
(10:48:21 PM): * "Crap...!" This is serious (hence the serious music)! All Werter can do is jump away from the enemy machine, spinning in the air to the side! Forget the lance, he can get it later! "What is this made from, rubber? No, don't answer, I don't want to know!"
wyverncakes 10:49 pm
(10:49:38 PM): [Heero, Roads, Dr. West, Texotic, Kurou, and Yusuke] Your assaults begins to blow through the De Vermis Mysteriis, tearing it to pieces bit by bit! But Yusuke, smashing through its entire form is NOT good for your psyche. This thing's just full-blown mindraping you in a way that would make Daguva jealous... and even after all is said and done and you've torn through huge chunks of Belzebuth and also COMPLETELY destroyed the red core...
(10:49:49 PM): ... The entire damn thing is regenerating in the blink of an eye.
Aero 10:49 pm
(10:49:59 PM): Kurou: "You have to be kidding..."
wyverncakes 10:50 pm

VJockey 10:50 pm
(10:50:38 PM): "Eeeh!?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:50 pm
(10:50:39 PM): Texotic: "This is a like a SHadow Knight... but with a pilot! Where is he, in this?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:50 pm
(10:50:41 PM): Eibon: "Hm. It's stronger than I expected." Roads: "Wonderful!"
wyverncakes 10:50 pm
(10:50:59 PM): [Werter] It's a close call for you, and Prometheus loses an arm from the lance just smashing it off! But you escape!
sketchbookfiend 10:51 pm
(10:51:00 PM): Kuuga crashes against Gouram as it catches him on the other side, grabbing at his head and gasping in pain, as his eyes keep switching between black and red. That was not his best idea.
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:07 PM): And then...
tengusaur 10:51 pm
(10:51:27 PM): Werter: "Slowly losing all my weapons here..."
Aero 10:51 pm
(10:51:36 PM): Kurou: "You're still in a better position than me!"
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:55 PM): A slew of tentacles come out everywhere! Wing Zero gets impaled by them, Texotic's Pilhua gets bound up nice and tight, Dr. West's Destroyer Robot gets its arms cut off...
(10:51:56 PM): And Kurou!
(10:52:07 PM): You see dozens upon dozens of tentacles shooting straight towards you!

tengusaur 10:52 pm

wyverncakes 10:52 pm

cubey@aol.pl 10:52 pm

wyverncakes 10:52 pm

sketchbookfiend 10:52 pm
(10:52:57 PM): Kuuga: "Ku-Kurou-san!"
Overman Zappa 10:53 pm
(10:53:14 PM): Hiiro: "Target still confirmed mobile. Understood. Zero..." he starts punching a code in, "Show me the way..."
tengusaur 10:53 pm
(10:53:23 PM): Werter: "Don't you lay a finger on anyone! Especially in that way!"
Aero 10:54 pm
(10:54:06 PM): Kurou: "Kind of...late for that Werter..."
tengusaur 10:54 pm
(10:54:17 PM): Werter: "...Kurou?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:55 pm
(10:55:21 PM): "…You're really getting on my nerves, Tiberius…But you know, that'll make watching you die that much better." Yep, time for Roads to initiate plan: be a huge dick.
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:31 PM): Jokes on you, Roads.
VJockey 10:55 pm
(10:55:34 PM): "... HOW DARE YOU VIOLATE MY RIVAL TIBERIUS! YOU ... THING!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:55 pm
(10:55:42 PM): Texotic: "Kurou? Are you hurt? Do not die!"
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:54 PM): You're still not on Tiberius's level.
cubey@aol.pl 10:55 pm

wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:00 PM): Not until you're such a big dick it qualifies as a spear.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:56 pm
(10:56:10 PM): Uncalled for, narrator. Uncalled for.
Aero 10:56 pm
(10:56:19 PM): Kurou starts coughing up blood...a lot of blood. Ithaqua is fired to destroy the tentacles holding him.
(10:56:36 PM): "Look at that Tiberius...you can't finish the job when I'm standing in front of you."
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:39 PM): Tiberius: "Oooh, still trying to struggle? That's so cute of you, Kurou!"
Atrament Corel 10:56 pm
(10:56:45 PM): Nanoha: "Kurou...san..."
wyverncakes 10:57 pm
(10:57:23 PM): And another Vengeful Spirit Bomb gets primed!
(10:57:48 PM): Tiberius: "All I have to do is make you not stand in front of me then. Easy-peasy buttom-squeezey!"
(10:58:02 PM): And without further ado, the blast is sent straight towards Demonbane!

wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:29 PM): However... as this is going on.
(10:59:37 PM): Kurou, you're going to hear a big, boomy voice echoing in your ear.
(10:59:41 PM): "Daijuuji Kurou..."
(10:59:48 PM): "Dost though desire the power?"
(11:00:04 PM): "... The power to raise once more the innocent blade?"
Overman Zappa 11:00 pm
(11:00:30 PM): Nope, that is not the path to victory, so Hiiro kee's outta the damn way.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:00 pm
(11:00:52 PM): *"Forgetting someone, aren't you!" And Roads is going to have the Zweilicht throw its (comparitively) tiny frame in the way, with the biggest damn shield he and Eibon can muster. "Master, this is-" "Don't care! Doing it anyways!"+
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 11:01 pm
vertigojockey@gmail.com has been invited. 11:01 pm
cubey@aol.pl 11:01 pm
(11:01:42 PM): *Even with its body entangled, Pilhua still has its forehead gem. Which shoots out a Mitl, stronger than all others. "Kurou! Survive this!" In an act of desperation, it tries to cut tentacles that hold Demonbane in place.+
vertigojockey@gmail.com has entered the room. 11:01 pm
Aero 11:01 pm
(11:01:57 PM): Kurou had no idea who this voice was but he just nods. "I do." It was like he was following a script.
VJockey 11:02 pm
(11:02:20 PM): #Kurou?
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:46 PM): (Approved)
VJockey 11:04 pm
(11:04:27 PM): *The Destroyer robot is imposing itself between the attack and demonbane like some kind of giant drumcan shield. That's never a good thing since drumcans in games EXPLODE+
wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(11:04:57 PM): It's all you can do to offer up some human shields in the face of the Vengeful Spirit bomb.
(11:05:12 PM): But someone else... well...
(11:05:14 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deg1RHwmKpo
(11:05:44 PM): Suddenly a huge cascading storm of book pages are coming forward, converging on Demonbane...
(11:06:01 PM): Converging on a single point inside of the machine, where the inert Necronomicon is lying.
tengusaur 11:06 pm
(11:06:06 PM): Werter: "What the..."
Aero 11:06 pm

VJockey 11:06 pm
(11:06:51 PM): "AH! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:57 PM): And suddenly, the Vengeful Spirit Bomb is just stopped cold.
(11:07:19 PM): A massive Elder Sign, a beacon of light forming between you all and the attack.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:07 pm

wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:09 PM): Tiberius :"Wait... those pages..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:09 pm
(11:09:18 PM): Eibon is on the edge of tears too, though it's a bit harder to convey when you're a mass of pages.
Aero 11:09 pm

Overman Zappa 11:10 pm

cubey@aol.pl 11:10 pm

VJockey 11:11 pm

wyverncakes 11:12 pm

Overman Zappa 11:12 pm

Hiiro still cannot really fathom these magical things, but, it's there. May as well take advantage of it.

It flies up closer and closer to the red core - getting near, but without touching it. When it is right by, Texotic Pilhua unleashes it all. Enough mitl to cut through and obliterate every single bit that makes the core itself.+
Overman Zappa 11:16 pm

(11:19:09 PM): *Eibon: "Master. The necronomicon is back to her full strength. Do try to keep up." Roads: "No problem!" The Zweilicht runs away, out of town, leaving the area. No…Roads is getting distance to build up speed. More speed than he's ever gotten before. So once he's a good distance away, the robot turns back, and it runs, and runs, magical circuits straining to the max as it surpasses the laws of physics, all in the name of speed. There's no time for a kick or anything so complicated-Roads just folds the robot's arm in front of him, forms the best shield he can around his front and dives straight at the red core, opening fire with his flaming grenades as he passes through the mass of flies at ludicrous speed.+
tengusaur 11:19 pm
(11:19:40 PM): A powerful defensive plasma field surrounds both robots! Both of them leap into the air and... disassemble into pieces! Pieces that start to combine, with extra mechanical parts growing between them. The whole process is accompanied by lots of clanking noises and sparks flying around, and a larger shape is quickly forming...
(11:19:51 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1MDyecckpk
(11:19:58 PM): The two robots combine into a single giant, 35 meters tall! It looks similar to Prometheus and Epimetheus, but more human-like, resembling a warrior with jet-black skin wearing ancient, ivory-white armor.
(11:20:04 PM): A pair of large wings springs from the warrior's back, made from hundreds of constantly spinning gears.
(11:20:11 PM): The robot's helmet resembles Prometheus' head, but the face is much more human-like. There's not much of it visible though, between the pair of thick goggles on its eyes and a long scarf of green plasma around its neck, fluttering in the wind.
(11:20:22 PM): Werter: "You already know Logos, Tiberius."
(11:20:35 PM): Werter: "But let me introduce you... To our own army!"
(11:21:19 PM): * Logos extends a hand forward in a commanding gesture, and a wave of green plasma raises behind it! Except it's not just plasma, but thousands of tiny humans made from it, copies of all great people from all of humanity's history!
tengusaur 11:21 pm
(11:21:53 PM): * The human wave crashes into Tiberius' monstruous machine and grabs onto it, each green plasma person burning into it! +
(11:22:00 PM): Werter: "This will keep ya from regenerating!"
Atrament Corel 11:23 pm
(11:23:09 PM): Nanoha: "Raising Heart...BLASTER ONE!" On that command, two golden remote weapons resembling Raising Heart's golden 'head' appear next to her!
wyverncakes 11:23 pm
(11:23:26 PM): [Everyone] Indeed, there's a significant different between your previous assault and this new one. Replenished power, stronger attacks, the whole shebang! The De Vermis Mysteriis form Belzebuth is torn more than a few new ones, cutting open a way to the admittedly STILL regenerating core... BUT!
(11:23:41 PM): Well, Kurou, now you've got the way open for you!
wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:53 PM): Well, for the most part.

Atrament Corel 11:26 pm
(11:26:53 PM): And an absolutely gigantic ball of pink energy is formed....all those spells, everything the Anticross managed to conjure...
(11:27:07 PM): As well as the magic used by the Chalice's fighters.
(11:27:54 PM): *Nanoha swings, striking this sphere with her staff, and releasing a beam whose size pretty much makes it a pink wall for all to see!+
Aero 11:28 pm
(11:28:26 PM): * And Kurou prepares to follow it up. "In this world of light, there's no room for you of darkness." Demonbane poses and the deep black sphere is formed...but...something...Other happens.

Aero 11:38 pm
(11:38:21 PM): * The power from the sword is overwhelming. Demonbane moves on it's own pointing the stick at Tiberius. "So then we just unleash it on him then." There was nothing stopping it. Despite just obtaining the weapon the machine has no problems wielding it. Demonbane charges the core of Tiberius and once it reached it's target the Shining Trapezohedron is thrust into the core and dragged up. There is a gigantic burst of energy, not only that but as the sword leaves the flesh of the core SPACE ITSELF IS CUT IN HALF. Inside of the void is just...absolute other. It's taking all of Kurou's strength to not go insane.
(11:39:05 PM): Kurou: "You know...now I'm really glad that you are immortal Tiberius."
wyverncakes 11:39 pm
(11:39:09 PM): And at that, the core begins to be sucked inside of the rip.
wyverncakes 11:40 pm

(11:40:56 PM): And you might want to focus instead on the image of Tiberius, mask blue and turned downwards in terror, clinging desperately to the ground as he's being pulled towards that rip.
Overman Zappa 11:41 pm

wyverncakes 11:41 pm

(11:41:47 PM): "But please,,, don't send me there. DON'T SEND ME-" And his grip loosens and he slips another foot back into the void. "DON'T SEND ME THERE!"

wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:55 PM): His fingernails break off with a disturbing snapping noise.
(11:43:14 PM): His face smashes into the ground, his mask being pulled off... and you can all see what lies behind the clown mask.
(11:43:42 PM): A rotting skull, the undead husk of a man who gave everything up for the sake of power and immortality.
(11:44:00 PM): An immortal life he now wishes very much so that someone, anyone, would end for him.
(11:44:07 PM): He'll never get that wish granted.
