cubey@aol.pl (02:10:19): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_3sSQ6KNgM
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:53): We're back in space! A faction of war-happy Moonrace has taken over the Moon and they want Earth next, so White Chalice sent a squad to deal with them.
cubey@aol.pl (02:11:27): Fortunately the Dai Gurren Brigade has a space worthy means of transportation, hopefully they are willing to assist.
cubey@aol.pl (02:12:18): Dan: "The Earthrace Militia is already fighting the enemy. They're not doing so well, you should probably assist them quickly!"
VJockey (02:13:04): [Luger merely yawns at this. It wasn't that much of an emergency.]
cubey@aol.pl (02:13:08): So, what do you do before you reach the enemy?
sketchbookfiend (02:13:10): Sochie: "You're not cheating me out of it this time!"
aldo salt (02:13:17): Matthew, waist scarf tied jauntily, walks down the promenade of the Dai Gurren Brigade warship with a set of clicks, stopping at Rossiu's side.
sketchbookfiend (02:13:19): Loran: "Alright alright already."
ZebulonCrispi (02:13:29): Bismuth is reading Ulysses.
aldo salt (02:13:29): "How goes the watch?" He asks.
aldo salt (02:13:45): As he stares around at the glimmering displays and stations of the bridge.
Meraxa (02:13:58): Of course they are. And by 'they', it is meant by Rossiu. Because dammit this is HIS ship. "Quiet. But I doubt that'll last, even in space."
Wyverncakes (02:14:10): Josh is taking the time to chillax.
ZebulonCrispi (02:14:16): Leopold is taking a nap.
Wyverncakes (02:14:25): Well, that and make sure that Forte Gigas is firing on all cylinders.
VJockey (02:14:58): Luger is smoking as usual.
sketchbookfiend (02:15:12): Needless to say both shouty girl and Loran were getting their mobile suits prepped. Sochie moving into her pretty brownish Zaku and Loran sighing in the Turn A
aldo salt (02:15:28): "An ironic statement, yet philosophically true." Matthew notes with grim humor.
cubey@aol.pl (02:15:47): Enough preparation/resting time! You can see a fight in the distance, mobile suits battling with the dark void of space as the backdrop.
ZebulonCrispi (02:15:57): Leo is up. He's up!
Wyverncakes (02:16:10): Josh: "And there they are."
Meraxa (02:16:15): Rossiu: ...I was being serious. I'm not sure if the vacuum will work properly with us around.
Wyverncakes (02:16:35): "Fact the fight's still going on means we got here in time."
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:36): The Earthrace ship Willgem and its mobile suit compartment of Zaku IIs (or as they call tehm Borjarnons) are not doing so hot.
aldo salt (02:16:36): "Oh!" Matthew says, eyes widening.
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:00): Especially because the enemy is plentiful. You see some new models you never saw before!
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:04): Time to launch.
aldo salt (02:17:06): "Ideally, we could cow all opposition with the Cathedral Terra: a pity it's presence would alter the moon's trajectory." Matthew says wistfully.
ZebulonCrispi (02:17:19): Bismuth eats Leopold and grows to super size!
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:31): ???: "They came, they came! They're here!"
aldo salt (02:17:36): He clenches a fist. "But no time to lament! I will be deploying! Do you wish to sortie as well, Commander?"
Meraxa (02:17:39): Rossiu: And potentially wreak havoc on Earth... Hm?
sketchbookfiend (02:17:44): Loran: "What?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:17:51): You hear an energetic female voice.
Meraxa (02:17:57): Rossiu: I'm already set for battle if need be. ...That and Simon is sleeping.
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:01): Which is accompanied by a deep, bombastic male one.
Wyverncakes (02:18:02): Josh: "Well someone's excited."
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:16): ???: "INDEED! More witnesses to observe humanity's finest hour!"
VJockey (02:18:22): [Luger launches in his mighty Serpent. Herr Trouser Snake.]
sketchbookfiend (02:18:28): Loran: "THAT-!?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:39): The voice only transmission turns into a visual one and you can see that the hammy voice belongs to a huge guy with huge hair
aldo salt (02:18:44): "Aff! I will count on you to watch my back!" Matthew turns, breaks into a sprint–then DIVES down a helpful chute!!!
cubey@aol.pl (02:18:52): http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100301020012/gundam/images/b/bc/1082694-ghingnham_large.jpg
sketchbookfiend (02:19:03): Of course the Moonrace knows about the different factions so that guy appearing makes him twitch in fear somewhat.
Wyverncakes (02:19:33): Josh: "You know, I'm fairly sure we've managed a lot of greater things than just having a battle in space."
Wyverncakes (02:19:38): Yeah, he's all scowlyface at that.
cubey@aol.pl (02:19:44): Gym Ghingham: "Come, Merrybell! Let us give them a warm greeting!"
sketchbookfiend (02:20:19): Sochie: "Oi, Loran, get your big girl pants on and let's deal with this!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:29): Sweatson: "My DNA screams at me. It demands victory!" Hey look, the fat guy is there too.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:34): Enemy list: Mahiroo x5, Mahiroo (Sweatson), Zssan x6, Bandit (Merrybell), Bandit x3, Turn X (Gym Ghingham)
ZebulonCrispi (02:20:35): Leo: "Mr. Ghingham, is it? This should be interesting."
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:38): Mahiroo http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/turn-a/g-838.jpg
Zssan http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/turn-a/g-m2f.jpg
Bandit http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/turn-a/g-m1f.jpg
Turn X http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/turn-a/concept-x-612.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:45): Initative: Leo, Loran, Luger, Matthew, Rossiu, Josh, Lily
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:48): Leo, Loran, Luger, go.
ZebulonCrispi (02:20:50): Bismuth: "His fighting spirit is quite impressive!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:08): (Scratch Lily from init list)
ZebulonCrispi (02:21:29): * Super Bismuth advances, rying to calm down the enemy forces with an openig salvo of Negaforce rays, aimed at the Mahiroos. Let's slow them down a bit! +
aldo salt (02:21:31): "….MY HEART RESONATES WITH YOUR SENTIMENT, MOONRACE PILOT!" Matthew proclaims towards Sweatson, launching in his Nova. "My genes as well urges me towards conquest and honorable combat!!!"
Meraxa (02:21:55): Rossiu: Matthew, what was that about conquest?
cubey@aol.pl (02:22:10): Sweatson: "Who's this no-name, talking to me? Hah, your genes are nothing compared to mine, DNA of warriors passed down by milennia."
Meraxa (02:22:28): Rossiu: ...Actually, scratch that, conquer his ass.
VJockey (02:22:36): "... My genes want me to sleep the whole day away and annoy people. Its more entertaining."
aldo salt (02:22:45): Matthew nods. "By your command, Rossiu."
sketchbookfiend (02:22:57): *Loran is sort of dealing with the whole Turn A blaring alarms at the mere existance of Turn X in front of it. So Sochie will cover his not noticing for now with a Heat Axe into a Zzan's face+
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:09): Gym: "Yes, very good. Real men communicate through their fists! Conflict is the base of all progress!"
sketchbookfiend (02:23:28): Loran: "...What."
cubey@aol.pl (02:23:29): Gym: "And here it is! The Turn A itself!"
ZebulonCrispi (02:23:29): Bismuth: "Prince Leopold, I greatly desire to do battle with this man!"
aldo salt (02:24:01): "Oh?" He says jauntily, sneering as he maneuvers towards Sweatson's mech. "Is that supposed to impress me, warrior? It is child's play to pass one's genes down through the ages: everyone here on this battlefield has accomplished that trick!"
sketchbookfiend (02:24:11): Loran: "And you have...what is that mobile suit you're in!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:18): The Zssans are keeping far away from the first line. Charging at one means the others are free to shoot at Sochie with their missiles. React to that!
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:24): At least that one was damaged pretty heavily.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:19): Gym: "Ha ha ha! Doesn't this remnant of Black History look any at all familiar to you?"
Meraxa (02:25:33): Rossiu: ...Wait, Matthew, you've actually 'passed on your genes'? Who's the lucky woman? Or is it the man I've heard rumours about...
aldo salt (02:25:36): He slaps his chest. "But my bloodline! The bloodline of Helmar! It has survived and thrived through the most brutal of combat! The most savage deprivations, and the doing of glorious deeds! For that is the way of the trueborns of the clans! Only the greatest of fighters may reproduce!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:41): Gym: "Show them, Turn X. Show them what Turn A's older brother is capable of!"
sketchbookfiend (02:25:49): *Sochie jukes out of the way of the missiles, firing the machine gun in a spray to try and shoot down what she can't avoid.+
aldo salt (02:26:03): "Can you claim the same thing, Moonrace Warrior?" Matthew shouts.
sketchbookfiend (02:26:06): Sochie: "Loran what the hell is he talking about?"
Wyverncakes (02:26:09): Josh: "... Turn X?"
aldo salt (02:26:14): Then he blinks. "Rossiu, what are you talking about?"
sketchbookfiend (02:26:18): Loran: "Black History? I...I really have no idea here."
cubey@aol.pl (02:26:30): Sweatson: "Clans? Helmar? Never heard of them."
cubey@aol.pl (02:26:34): "Must be no one important."
Meraxa (02:26:50): Rossiu: Well, to pass on your genes means children. I was not aware you were a parent. I have total respect for your choice.
Meraxa (02:27:28): Rossiu: I understand corporation fighters have been paid quite good sums - should go well towards the child's growth.
aldo salt (02:27:30): Matthew grits his teeth. "…not important!?!?!! Perhaps you have noticed the warrior race which invaded the northern regions of Terra a few months ago?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:54): The Mahiroos scatter as Bismuth shoots at them. Some of them are nicked by the beam, and their pilots are undoubtedly surprised that there is no damage, but instead a general slowdown to their units' performance.
aldo salt (02:28:11): Towards Rossiu: "Er…you are aware that Ryou and I are not lovers, quiaff?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:33): Sweatson: "Just one more inferior enemy for Moonrace to root out!" His Mahiroo charges at Bismuth and slashes him with the shield-claw. React!
Meraxa (02:28:50): Rossiu: Well of course not - but given the current state of technology, why should that stop you from having a child? ...Though I am curious as to who the host mother is...
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:58): The Zaku is not the most nimble of mobile suits, and it shakes under missile fire. But it's sturdy, so there's no major damage yet.
aldo salt (02:28:58): #Bismuth?
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:01): Approved.
sketchbookfiend (02:29:05): Loran: "Rossiu can we save this for later?"
Meraxa (02:29:23): Rossiu: Ah, right, sorry. You solved our moon problem, we'll solve yours.
ZebulonCrispi (02:29:31): * In a melee battle, the greater reach is victorious! As Sweatson approaches, Super Bismuth punches, its arm extending to far beyond its normal length in order to hit him before he's in attack range. +
aldo salt (02:29:31): "…aff, let us talk about this later." Matthew says quietly.
sketchbookfiend (02:29:33): Sochie: "YES. There's plenty of people in front of you to shoot down you know."
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:25): Sweatson zips to the side and cuts into Super Bismuth's arm. The damage is light, but it still shows the arrogant loudmouth is not to be underestimated!
aldo salt (02:30:39): *"Ha-HAHAHAHAHa!!!!" Matthew says, swooping down upon Sweatson like a bird of prey. "NOVVVA BURST!" he declares, while aiming for the shield-claw!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:40): (oops, waiting for Matthew's defense first)
VJockey (02:30:41): *shoot down? Okay! Luger will kick over all chances of honorable combat and attempt to snipe Sweatson in the cockpit!+
ZebulonCrispi (02:30:49): Bismuth: "Your combat senses are impressive!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:47): Matthew's attack manages to damage Sweatson's mobile suit, and he is too surprised by this course of events to dodge. Luger fires a round where the cockpit is, and hits!
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:52): Sweatson: "Aaaah!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:05): Sweatson: "... I was lucky to have used the mobile trace one."
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:13): He's unhurt. The cockpit is elsewhere.
sketchbookfiend (02:32:19): Loran: "...What."
sketchbookfiend (02:32:29): Sochie: "...what's a mobile trace?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:33): Matthew, Rossiu, Josh, go.
VJockey (02:32:42): "... shiesse. Oh well. I can just keep shooting."
Wyverncakes (02:32:44): Josh: "Taking that kind of hit is still serious damage, don't let your guard down!"
aldo salt (02:34:55): *"OH DEAR!!!" Matthew declares, peppering the Mahiroo's thruster pack with lasers shots as he charges in. "IS THIS REALLY ALL YOUR WARRIOR LINEAGE CAN MUSTER? HOW UNFORTUNATE!" He zooms in to point blank and kicks the Mahiroo with one of the Nova's feet~+
Wyverncakes (02:35:18): * On his end, the Forte Gigas takes out one of its Ultimate Lancers, but it's not a beam blade that comes out of it but rather a long energy whip with a huge mass of energy at the end. "Now let's see how your toys fare!" And with a flick of Gigas's wrist, the beam hammer hurtles towards one of the Bandits!+
Meraxa (02:35:30): Rossiu: Attenborough, open spiral lance gunports. Target flight leaders, attempt to destabilise enemy format- oh who am I kidding? FIRE! *And by his command, Beamspam McMuppet unloads the ridiculously bright arsenal of the Arc Gurren unto the battlefield. God knows if any of it'll be accurate though+
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:59): Sweatson: "Ha, I didn't even break a sweat!" The Mahiroo dodges the laser blasts nimbly, leaving it under Nova. From such a position, he counters with an uppercut! React to that.
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:17): Sweatson: "Where are you, slowpokes? I need some fire support!" Other Mahiroos are slowed down so they can't help him!
tengusaur (02:37:32): # Matthew
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:35): Approved.
tengusaur (02:37:57): * Sweatson's uppercut will suddenly be stopped by a thick layer of armored cloak getting in its way! +
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:12): Merrybell: "No, that won't do at all!" The Bandit is slammed by a beam hammer, but all the other ones fly in formation. It's hard to say which one she's piloting!
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:43): They all shoot missiles from 3-tube launchers, creating a huge swarm flying straight at Forte Gigas. React!
aldo salt (02:39:08): *"You are one to talk about slowness!!!" Matthew triggers his thrusters and coasts back, riding the punch so it does little damage. "Go, Heat Falcons!" Hot Radiator Blades shoot out, and start carving the extended arm out like hornets!"
aldo salt (02:39:09): +
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:13): As for Rossiu, he and Attenborough find the fragile Zssans and slowed down Mahiroos to be easy targets, destroying 3 and 2 of each respectively.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:28): But then...
sketchbookfiend (02:39:44): Sochie: "Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:01): Gym: "Yes, so starts my new dawn, For me, and for humanity! Now take this, in my appreciation!"
VJockey (02:40:37): "Ooh... your appreciation you say?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:39): Turn X draws bazookas from the weird backpack it has, one in each hand. It fires them both, powerful projectiles flying straight at Arc Gurren. React!
VJockey (02:40:51): [Luger sounded... disturbingly excited.]
Wyverncakes (02:40:53): * Forte Gigas's hammer's already switching back to blade configuration, and Josh pulls out another one and joins it with the first before spinning the two like a big blade blender as it takes evasive maneuvers! "If that's all you can throw at me you're not going to be lasting long at all!"+
sketchbookfiend (02:40:54): #Arc Gurren
aldo salt (02:40:58): "Who is that man?" Matthew wonders of Gym. "And why is he talking in such a bizarre fashion?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:10): Loran, approved.
VJockey (02:41:13): "Wait.. oh he was just shooting at people... nevermind..."
VJockey (02:41:23): [DISSAPOINTMENT.]
Meraxa (02:41:35): Rossiu: Shields! *Rossiu confirms they're raised, but nevertheless braces for impact+
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:39): Gym: "Of course! What other language speaks to everyone equally, other than VIOLENCE?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:58): Gym: "The whole battlefield plays this kind of music!"
sketchbookfiend (02:42:09): *The Turn A flies between the Arc Gurren and the beams from Turn X, shield held sideways out to block the beams as the I-Field is also pushed to full gear+
Meraxa (02:42:09): Rossiu: Its not violence that speaks equally to all... it is their fists!
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:13): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Jhf4Mj6wM
sketchbookfiend (02:42:23): Loran: "I won't let you!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:38): Gym: "Fists serve as direct ways to apply violence! That much is obvious!"
Meraxa (02:43:03): Rossiu: Truly a fool! You know nothing of how they communicate between mean!
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:27): Loran, you find that Turn X is powerful. Really powerful - your I Field is breached and Turn A is thrown back severely!
sketchbookfiend (02:43:38): Sochie: "LORAN!"
Meraxa (02:43:45): *men
aldo salt (02:43:48): "Indeed!" Matthew declares. "Your heart is in the right place, Moonrace Commander! But your thinking is muddled and astray! Conflict may lead to combat, and fists may communicate! But violence and death are not needed to achieve this communication!"
Wyverncakes (02:43:51): Josh: "That kind of thinking doesn't even let violence be a means to an end... it's just fighting for the sake of fighting!"
sketchbookfiend (02:43:58): That my or may not end with the Turn A smacking into Arc Gurren.
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:12): Sweatson's counter-attacked is suddenly blocked by thick armor belonging to a different mobile suit!
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:23): And because of that, his offhand is carved into by Matthew and becomes useless.
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:27): Sweatson: "What the DNA?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:45): Gym: "Ha ha ha! This is where you are wrong."
tengusaur (02:44:46): The cloak unveils to reveal Crossbone Gundam Full Cloth.
aldo salt (02:44:46): "Opponents understand each other through their fists! And through understanding they gain empathy! And through empathy they find peace with each other! That is the meaning of honorable combat!" Matthew concludes.
ZebulonCrispi (02:44:55): Bismuth: "Savage bloodshed is not the final form of the art of combat! Battle is best performed as an expression of the soul!"
aldo salt (02:44:57): "How is that wrong?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:57): Gym: "Humanity cannot achieve its fullest potential except during times of warfare! Of strife!"
Meraxa (02:45:01): Don't worry Loran! The Arc Gurren has an incredible and innovative feature, specifically to prevent both allies and debris from colliding against the Arc Gurren.
Meraxa (02:45:07): "Deploy the windscreen wiper."
tengusaur (02:45:10): Tobia: "Stop talking about genes! It doesn't matter what your lineage is, only who *you* are!"
sketchbookfiend (02:45:21): Loran: "G-gee...thanks...oof"
aldo salt (02:45:23): "And my thanks, Warrior Tobia!" Matthew declares with a grin.
cubey@aol.pl (02:45:26): Gym: "Peace? Hah. Such stories are good for children. Look at your own accomplishments. These are achievements of war, not peace time!"
tengusaur (02:45:39): Tobia: "It seems I arrived just in time. This guy..."
sketchbookfiend (02:46:00): Sochie: "Tsk... a guy like you...it's no wonder you Moonrace spread death wherever you go."
ZebulonCrispi (02:46:06): Bismuth: "Humanity is still a civilization in the throes of a turbulent youth! All must aspire to rise above it for the sake of future generations!"
sketchbookfiend (02:46:14): Loran:"H-hey, Sochie-"
tengusaur (02:46:19): Tobia: "I'd gladly give up all my achievements if we could have real peace in exchange!"
VJockey (02:46:24): "I don't know. He sounds like Elena's kind of man."
aldo salt (02:46:25): "But our achievements are not completely that of bloodshed, as you seem to think it must be!" Matthew says.
tengusaur (02:46:29): Tobia: "I'm not gonna let you start another war!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:32): Forte Gigas manages to neutralize most of missiles. Those Bandits aren't that powerful... or are they? It feels like Merrybell and her wacky crew are not going all out just yet.
VJockey (02:46:50): "Do you think we can take him alive so I can give him
to her as a present?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:59): Also, Tobia (and possibly Gainer) join the fray. Act now!
aldo salt (02:47:39): "Conflict can lead to peace, as peace can grow from conflict! And it is through honor, and keeping the blast of war from harming civilians, that combat reaches it's greatest form!" Matthew philosophizes.
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:10): Gym: "Ha ha ha! Talk all you want. It is one thing you may still do, before Turn X burns you all to ash and cinders."
Overman Zappa (02:48:16): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:20): Enemy list: Mahiroo x2, Mahiroo (Sweatson) (damaged), Zssan x3, Bandit (Merrybell), Bandit x3 (1 damaged), Turn X (Gym Ghingham)
Wyverncakes (02:48:28): Josh: "That's wishful thinking, at best."
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:53): Gym: "Wishful thinking? How amusing of you to mention that!"
tengusaur (02:49:20): * Tobia draws two Beam Zanbers and rushes towards the bosses who are not Sweatson! But before he can reach them, there are other enemies on the way! He slashes several times from different directions and then with an X-shaped double swing, trying to hack the limbs off a Bandit! +
aldo salt (02:49:46): "Turn X, quiaff?" Matthew muses, taking a look at the crackling, alien mobile suit. "If you keep deprecating honor as you have, you will never draw out that suit's full power!"
sketchbookfiend (02:50:12): Sochie: "All the more chance to scrap it!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:38): Gym: "Depreciating? Combat is an honorable act all in itself, no matter how you look at it! Get off your high horse!"
Overman Zappa (02:50:39): *Gainer looks to make up for lost time by OverSpeeding into the battlefield, his Photon Mat projected forward, but at the same time, splitting it up and firing several chakram rings at the already damaged Bandit, looking to clip arms and legs off +
sketchbookfiend (02:50:45): Loran: "..." Too busy being freaked out and mad to respond properly.
Meraxa (02:51:20): Rossiu: 'No matter how'. Then clearly you're an idiot, because we see quite differently.
VJockey (02:51:31): "Does that mean shooting a man in the head repeatedly after he surrenders honorable?"
Wyverncakes (02:51:40): Josh: "... Just how naive can you be?"
Wyverncakes (02:51:45): Yeah, he's thinking about the Ruina here.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:53): Gainer and Tobia manage to neutralize one Bandit, and severely damage another one.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:15): Merrybell: "Sheesh, it took me way too much time to put these together! I'll have to go all out now!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:39): The three remaining Bandits shoot out missiles from their backs. But these missiles are different, cable-guided.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:54): And look, they do not explode, but are actually claws that slash at you from multiple directions at once.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:57): Tobia and Gainer, react!
Wyverncakes (02:53:10): # Tobia and Ganer?
Wyverncakes (02:53:12): ^Gainer
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:14): Approved.
tengusaur (02:53:30): Tobia: "Wait a sec... Is she coordinardinating all of those Mobile Suits?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:41): Merrybell: "Heh heh... maybe!"
Meraxa (02:54:42): Rossiu: If I recall, there was a system that existed to allow remote control of multiple mobile suits. Perhaps she has a variant?
tengusaur (02:55:07): * Crossbone Gundam switches to a parallel stance in comparison to the incoming cables and starts to spin rapidly, slashing at whatever comes close with double beam sabers! +
sketchbookfiend (02:55:07): Loran: "Isn't that the Mobile Doll system? Just how many of those exist?"
Wyverncakes (02:55:09): Josh: "Well I've got some news to break to you."
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:14): Leo and Loran can act now.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:27): Also
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:35): ???: "Wait! Gym Ghingham!"
Overman Zappa (02:55:49): Gainer: "All of them on her own?" Gainer has a hard time believing that too, but with the Photon Mat active, he tries to keep it lined up with the incoming claw, as well as keeping the chain sword at the ready to cut it down.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:50): A squadron of Moonrace mobile suits enters the battlefield.
ZebulonCrispi (02:55:59): * Bismuth has taken an interest here. He's disengaging from the Mahiroos, and launching across the battlefield, directly towards Turn X! &
aldo salt (02:56:01): "I am not a warrior of the Hell's Horse Clan!" Matthew replies hots towards Gym. "And if you feel your honor with worthwhile, then prove it to us with your fists!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:19): Four SUMOs (http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120322092245/gundam/images/thumb/2/2f/Mrc-f20-silver.jpg/300px-Mrc-f20-silver.jpg), one of them golden in color.
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:30): These mobile suits are not going to fight you - they are friendly.
sketchbookfiend (02:56:40): Loran: "More- wait no that's...Harry Ord!"
Wyverncakes (02:56:45): * Forte Gigas's double-sided sword shifts into its Moon Circle formation, and Josh hurls it at some of the cables! "You're not the only one with a gimmick like that!" The blade also moves to zero in on those cables, Josh's mind and the Sympathia System guiding the course of the weapon!+
sketchbookfiend (02:56:50): Sochie: "The guy with the shades?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:04): Harry Ord: "Your twisted ideas about warfare and humanity end today, Ghingham!"
aldo salt (02:57:07): "And Mechwarrior Poe!" Matthew exclaims, noticing a familiar silver SUMO.
aldo salt (02:57:14): "A sight for sore eyes indeed, quiaff?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:42): Gym: "Is it not Queen Dianna's little helper! Ha ha, listen to this - if I were not to twist your precious ideas, someone else would surely do so instead. So, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!"
tengusaur (02:58:15): Tobia: "What kind of thinking is that!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:26): Poe: "Matthew Helmar?! I mean... let's take down this menace!"
Wyverncakes (02:58:36): Josh: "You're only now realizing this guy has the mentality of a three year old?!?"
sketchbookfiend (02:59:03): Loran: "...I'll show you just what difference it makes!" *The Turn A rockets into the fray with both beam sabers drawn and launches for the Turn X, both beams coming down at the other Turn unit+
aldo salt (02:59:04): "Aff! I look forward to fighting alongside you again in GLORIOUS battle!" Matthew replies cheerfully to Poe.
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:31): Leo and Bismuth - Turn X floats in space in a "come at me bro" pose. Its pincer like claw starts to shine with power, but other than that it waits for your move. Continue.
ZebulonCrispi (02:59:56): Bismuth: "Gingham of the Moonrace! Your reasoning may be broken beyond repair..."
ZebulonCrispi (03:00:09): "...but to face a warrior as spirited as you is an honor regardless!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:00:24): * Super Bismuth accelerates, delivering a high-speed right hook to Turn X's head. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:33): Thanks to Josh's support and their own skill, Gainer and Tobia escape without damage.
VJockey (03:00:35): @Bismuth?
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:40): Luger - approved.
VJockey (03:01:16): *Luger wonders what happens if he shoots that glowing claw...WELL LET'S FIND OUT! He shoots at the shining parts for MAXIMUM DAMAGE!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:16): Turn X is, in rapid succession - slashed at with powerful beam sabers, punched by a super robot, and shot at with a sniper rifle straight at what should be a weak point.
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:20): But that's not all of it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:31): While you were attacking, the SUMOs also surrounded it from all sides.
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:43): Harry: "I Field Barrier!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:46): Poe: "Yes sir!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:10): Harry: "Gym Ghingham! My hate for your misguided ideals sounds through the whole of..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:31): Harry: "UNIVEEEEEEEEEERSE!" All four SUMOs shoot out their I Field Bunkers at the same time, adding to the clusterfuck of damage.
cubey@aol.pl (03:03:59): Once space dust settles, you can see that...
tengusaur (03:04:04): Tobia: "Offensive I-Field? I didn't know you can use it as a ranged weapon!"
aldo salt (03:04:10): Matthew inhales sharply. "Such focused intent!"
tengusaur (03:04:12): (He only punches with it instead.)
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:35): Gym Ghingham is laughing his ass off, the video feed almost overwhelming you with hamminess.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:40): And Turn X is totally unharmed!
ZebulonCrispi (03:04:46): Leopold: "What?!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:46): Gym: "A HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
aldo salt (03:04:53): Matthew: "WHAT THE–!"
sketchbookfiend (03:04:55): Loran: "WHAT!?"
Overman Zappa (03:04:56): Gainer: "So it's just like the Photon Mat...."
Wyverncakes (03:04:58): Josh: "How could he..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:00): Gym: "Did someone mention WISHFUL THINKIG?!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:05:04): Leopold: "Oh no."
ZebulonCrispi (03:05:07): "Don't tell me."
Wyverncakes (03:05:08): Josh: "..."
ZebulonCrispi (03:05:10): "No."
Wyverncakes (03:05:13): "Son of a bitch!"
sketchbookfiend (03:05:13): Sochie: "What the hell is this thing made of!?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:17): Turn X produces something it carried behind its back.
tengusaur (03:05:26): Tobia: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:28): It's... as silly as it may sound, it's a djinni lamp.
sketchbookfiend (03:05:36): Loran: "....No."
tengusaur (03:05:37): Tobia: "What is this thing!"
Meraxa (03:05:38): Rossiu: ...
ZebulonCrispi (03:05:44): "I... I think it's a space genie."
Wyverncakes (03:05:46): Josh: "Leopold... your sister just... LEFT THAT OUT THERE FOR ANYONE?!?"
tengusaur (03:05:47): Tobia: "You gotta be kidding me!"
sketchbookfiend (03:05:48): Loran: "NO! I REFUSE!"
VJockey (03:06:03): "..............."
ZebulonCrispi (03:06:05): Leopold: "I am going to have some VERY stern words with her!"
aldo salt (03:06:16): "….STRAVAG!!!!!!!!!" Matthew howls. "DAMN YOU…GYM GYNGGGGGGGGGHHHHAMMMMM!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:20): Gym: "Not too long ago, I stumbled upon this space oddity! Inside it I found a spirit that offered to make one of my wishes come true."
Meraxa (03:06:26): Rossiu: Who leaves that sort of thing lying around space?!
VJockey (03:06:31): "Can I have it?"
VJockey (03:06:41): "I won't use it to help anyone here."
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:45): Gym: "And what other wish is more wonderful... than to make war eternal by bestowing Turn X with a gift of TOTAL INVINCIBILITY!"
VJockey (03:06:48): "That would be a waste..:
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:50): Gym: "And no, you can't have it."
sketchbookfiend (03:07:05): Loran: "You...son offa-"
ZebulonCrispi (03:07:10): Leopold: "Well, this will be difficult."
sketchbookfiend (03:07:16): Sochie: "...I...what."
tengusaur (03:07:32): Tobia: "You could make any wish you want, and you used it on THAT?"
Meraxa (03:07:34): Rossiu: ...Well, there's only one thing for it then. Matthew?
tengusaur (03:07:43): Tobia: "This makes fighting him really tricky, though..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:43): People who attacked Turn X in melee? Turn X's clawed hand opens and threatens to grab you. It shines with an awesome power - that tries to siphon your energy away.
cubey@aol.pl (03:07:58): Gym: "Now, ha ha ha! Experience my own SHINING FINGER!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:03): Loran and Leo, react.
ZebulonCrispi (03:08:06): * Super Bismuth is, for now, going to try and RUN LIKE MAD. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:12): Harry: "That... is impossible!"
aldo salt (03:08:29): "…aff, Commander Rossiu!" Matthew growls, eyes smoldering with the fires of righteous hell. "Indeed there is! Let us do…THAT!"
tengusaur (03:08:36): Tobia: "What are we going to do with an invincible MS...?"
sketchbookfiend (03:08:41): *Turn A starts backing up, alarms blaring, it is NOT going to fuck with that!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:44): Gym: "This is amazing! As expected of Turn A's big brother!"
Wyverncakes (03:08:44): Josh: "Dammit, fall back!"
Meraxa (03:09:29): Rossiu: Before that, do you recall the first rule of the Dai Gurren Brigade?
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:57): His grab seemed a bit too slow, almost like if Gym was only trying to brag or scare you off. Or maybe he wants you to keep your distance, away from the lamp? Either way you escape, somehow.
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:11): And yes he will continue to grab it, with the non-pincer hand of Turn X.
ZebulonCrispi (03:10:17): Leopold: "I... I think..."
aldo salt (03:10:19): "OF COURSE!" Matthew declares proudly to Rossiu. "We do not make corny cokes about Freudian symbols!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:10:30): Leopold: "...I think I have an idea."
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:36): Poe: "What can we do? Is... even my strongest move not good enough?"
aldo salt (03:10:41): "Rule number one of the Dai-Gurren Brigade!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:10:48): Leopold: "I can only see one way to keep that lamp from ruining the Earth Sphere."
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:48): Yeah, she sounds like she's going to cry.
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:08): Luger, Matthew, Rossiu, go.
tengusaur (03:11:11): Tobia: "Is she crying...?"
Meraxa (03:11:11): Rossiu: ...That would be RULE FIFTY IF EVER YOU FOOL!
sketchbookfiend (03:11:20): Sochie: "Yeah. She does that."
ZebulonCrispi (03:11:24): Leopold: "I'm going to need to get that lamp away from him, though, and that..."
ZebulonCrispi (03:11:27): Leopold: "Well."
VJockey (03:11:34): *Luger rushes in to GRAB THAT LAMP! HE HAS PRIORITIES THAT NEED SORTING WITH THAT!+
ZebulonCrispi (03:11:39): Lepold: "I don't even know where to start with that one."
aldo salt (03:11:44): "Lieutenant Poe!" Matthew rumbles. "Now is not the time to despair! Now is the time to rally up your courage! To do the impossible, and fight the invincible!"
Meraxa (03:11:50): Rossiu: No, rule one of the Dai Gurren Brigade... IS TO KICK REASON TO THE CURB AND DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! *Rossiu draws a pair of shades... solely to crush them in his hands!*
tengusaur (03:11:59): Tobia: "Er..." He's not sure how to handle this. "Don't cry! Keep it together! We'll find a way to handle this!"
aldo salt (03:12:17): Matthew winces at Rossiu's barb. "Aff! Indeed commander! Truly, I have been corrected!"
sketchbookfiend (03:12:26): Loran: "Luger wait!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:33): Gym: "You are a FOOL!" Time for another SHINING FINGER, this time aimed straight at the Serpent's head. Luger, react.
Meraxa (03:12:44): Rossiu: Even an invincible enemy must have a weakness! Helm, HIT IT! *...Is... is he serious?*
tengusaur (03:12:52): # Luger
cubey@aol.pl (03:12:56): Tobia approved.
Meraxa (03:13:04): Rossiu: Supreme Commander... SLAM! *Yes, yes he is. The Arc Gurren is going to RAM the Turn X+
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:23): Harry: "This is a predicament... but even if Turn X cannot be destroyed, we can still stop Ghingham!"
sketchbookfiend (03:13:48): Loran: "We have to stop him! For the sake of humanity."
tengusaur (03:13:53): * "The Moonrace are not the only ones with I-Fields!" Tobia gets in the way of that strike, crossing Crossbone's arms and projecting I-Fields with both generators at once!+
VJockey (03:13:55): *The joke's on you! Its just a head! Luger has no need for it! He continues regardless to grab at the Lamp!+ "I AM DISEASED"
tengusaur (03:13:58): Tobia: "Get the lamp!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:18): Gym: "Diseased by living? Let me fix that!"
sketchbookfiend (03:14:25): Loran: "But I don't think throwing yourselves at him full speed will do it!"
aldo salt (03:14:51): *Matthew flies up to the Arc Gurren and perches in front of it's bridge, mag-clamps locking in! "Well said indeed, Mechwarrior Loran! Forward! Into the mouth of hell! Even the invincible shall fall before us! ALLPPPHHHA STRIKE!!!!" His lasers go pew!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:04): Tobia - bad idea. The Shining Finger starts to sap your I Field's power, really quickly to that. Your mobile suit feels weird as dust starts to rise from it.
tengusaur (03:15:24): Tobia: "It's not working?!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:34): Luger finds the lamp away from his reach. This is because.
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:30): With Gym laughing like mad, he seperates Turn X into pieces. Each limb, the head, even the torso - they fly around space wildly, avoiding both Luger and being tackled by the giant Arc Gurren.
ZebulonCrispi (03:16:44): Leopold: "Good heavens!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:47): Also Matthew's Alpha Strike, but that probably wouldn't hurt Turn X anyway.
tengusaur (03:16:55): Tobia: "What the! Which one has the cockpit?"
ZebulonCrispi (03:17:12): Leopold: "More importantly, which one has the lamp?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:13): The seperated body parts shoot beams at Arc Gurren and Nova, a bit bombardment from all sides. React!
Meraxa (03:17:22): Rossiu: If its like Loran's... Ngh... FIND THE CODPIECE!
Overman Zappa (03:17:24): Gainer: "Probably the chest or the head, but given our luck... one of the feet!?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:27): (One of the bits is a hand and it holds the lamp)
Wyverncakes (03:17:51): Josh: "... Anyone have a really big back we can-"
Wyverncakes (03:18:07): "Actually, hold on. I think I've got an idea."
Meraxa (03:18:09): Rossiu: Attenborough, torpedos. Blast him away from the ship even if won't cause damage! *TORPEDOS FIRE!+
tengusaur (03:18:23): Tobia: "After that hand!"
sketchbookfiend (03:18:47): Loran: "I didn't really...see a cockpit in the crotch area"
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:01): Josh, Tobia and Gainer can act.
Meraxa (03:19:03): Rossiu: ...Were you already looking?!
Overman Zappa (03:19:07): Gainer: "Probably better than anything I'm coming up with!
Meraxa (03:19:09): Rossiu: ...I will respect your choice.
sketchbookfiend (03:19:10): His and the Sumo's are kind of noticeable what with the windshield caps.
Wyverncakes (03:19:24): (Enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:30): Enemy list: Mahiroo x2, Mahiroo (Sweatson) (damaged), Zssan x3, Bandit (Merrybell), Bandit x2 (1 damaged), Turn X (Gym Ghingham)
sketchbookfiend (03:19:35): Loran: "IT'S NOT LIKE I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT ALREADY IF IT'S A BROTHER UNIT!"
tengusaur (03:19:42): * Tobia does as he says and starts to chase the disembodied hand! He fires a magnetic chain anchor at it, even! +
Wyverncakes (03:20:06): Josh: "Here goes..."
Wyverncakes (03:20:16): He opens a channel to the allied Moonrace forces!
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:28): Attenborough's torpedoes are... grossly inaccurate. They hit Zssans instead of Turn X.
aldo salt (03:20:41): *"Gah!" Matthew's Nova jets across the Arc Gurren's bulk as beam fire from the Turn X limbs bombards his location! I will drag you down to us, piece by piece! Go Heat Falcons!" His radiator blades deploy and try to grapple one of the flying limbs!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:45): Arc Gurren shakes as powerful beams hit new holes in many of its sections. This is not good at all!
Meraxa (03:20:52): You can all hear an audible smack. In space.
Wyverncakes (03:21:13): "I don't suppose you guys could help keep an eye on the Ganador, will you? I'm not sure how long it'll be for me to get back to it."
Overman Zappa (03:21:23): *Gainer, finding the Turn X too 'crowded' turns himself to the ace of the Bandits. Raising the chainsword, King Gainer makes with a bit of flowing, and icy space winds begin to blow, sending sizable chunks of OverFreeze ice for the Mobile Suit+
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:28): Matthew manages to avoid the blasts. But as he reaches for the flying limb...
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:43): Sweatson: "Don't think I forgot about you, Earth's warrior!" His Mahiroo kicks you out of the way!
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:32): Merrybell: "Watch out Gym!" Suddenly, a Bandit positions itself o the line of Tobia's chain anchor. It's captured instead of the hand bit!
tengusaur (03:22:58): Tobia: "Gah! You can have your Mobile Doll back! I don't want it!"
Wyverncakes (03:23:02): * And at that, Forte Gigas seperates into its two components, with Josh piloting not the blue Ganador... but rather the Strega! And there's a glowing, crackling cube of energy in the machines' hands! "Okay then... Strega! ELECTRON... CUBE!" And he chucks it at Turn X's hand to ensnare the limb in an electrical prison!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:54): Gainer freezes the machine into uselessness. It crumbles into icy bits.
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:19): Merrybell: "Oh you!" Wait, she's still talking? You only got a remotely controlled one! The actual Merrybell Bandit is slashing at you with a beam saber! React.
tengusaur (03:24:35): # Gainer
cubey@aol.pl (03:24:38): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:00): Gym: "I can see that!" The head bit rushes at the Electron Cube. What is the Moonrace warrior doing?
tengusaur (03:25:04): * Tobia does as he says, and swings around, smashing the Bandit he's holding into Merrybell's unit like a giant flail! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:08): He is HEADBUTTING the cube!
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:19): And now the bit is trapped inside it - but a wrong bit!
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:30): The rest of Turn X reforms away from you all, temporarily headless but still holding the lamp.
Overman Zappa (03:25:42): *Gainer turns to swing his sword back, but with her coming for him, she's just closer to the core of OVERFREEZE! The chain revvs to better meet her swing+
Wyverncakes (03:25:52): Josh: "One down at the very least."
aldo salt (03:26:34): "Gah!" Matthew exclaims as you goes flying. "You…the want to be warrior…get out OF MY WAYYYYY!" Matthew moves into to attack!
Meraxa (03:26:49): Rossiu: ...Darn, Lagann would be a perfect head for that...!
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:56): Leo, Loran, Luger - you can act now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:30): Harry: "Let's grab that lamp while Ghingham's head is preoccupied!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:27:57): * Leopold decides that approaching Turn X is probably suicide right now, so he keeps his distance, instead firing another barrage of Negaforce Rays at the invincible mech. If it slows down, then the lamp will be easier to catch! +
VJockey (03:28:09): *Luger is going to do something drastic here, that being to attempt to shoot the lamp out of the Turn X's HAND AND MAKE A GRAB AT IT AGAIN!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:13): Merrybell: "Aaaah!" The Bandit spins out of control and out of battlefield, after being slashed and smashed by another bandit.
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:18): Hopefully she won't be a trouble anymore.
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:35): Headless Turn X grabs a bazooka, fires it back at you Luger. Its other hand keeps the lamp away like a bully holding a possession taken from a younger student.
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:37): react!
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:03): The main body of Turn X is starting to move a bit more sluggish though...
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:44): Gym: "Grraaaah! I need to break this stupid cubic prison!" Turn X's head starts to repeatedly smash against the cube. It's slowly overcoming the energy barrrier!
VJockey (03:30:58): *SHOOT THE BAZOOKA ROUND THEN! FUCK THAT! HE WANTS THAT LAMP! Never underestimate the tenacity of a man who is insane...+
tengusaur (03:31:13): Tobia: "Anyone got something that can reinforce the barrier?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:09): Congrats Luger, you shoot at the bazooka round and it actually explodes before it hits you. But the explosion was big enough to send you tumbling away!
aldo salt (03:32:16): "Rossiu!" Matthew exclaims. "Can you redirect the Arc Gurren's Spiral shield around the cube barrier?"
Meraxa (03:32:36): Rossiu: ...We can try it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:39): (Still need a Loran action)
Wyverncakes (03:32:48): Josh can't help but laugh.
sketchbookfiend (03:33:02): Loran: "The way he's reacting...the head must be the cockpit! Which means...if I can blow the body away before he escapes then it'll be all the easier!" *The Turn A rushes right for the Turn X, arms open to tackle it&
Wyverncakes (03:33:12): "Well what do you know! You just had to let yourself get caught to save your precious lamp!"
Meraxa (03:33:13): @Josh?
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:36): Approved, Rossiu.
Overman Zappa (03:34:03): @Josh
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:10): Loran, watch out - the shining pincer is already charging up again, ready to stab at you when you come to close! React/continue.
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:12): Approved, Gainer.
VJockey (03:34:16): [Luger is screaming nonsensical german angrish and shaking his fist at the headless Turn X. Among his many statements was that he was going to use its headless body as his sick bucket.]
Meraxa (03:35:00): Rossiu: Extend the shield! *And there's a noticable 'shween' sound - again, in space - as the shield extends, the Arc Gurren moving into position+
sketchbookfiend (03:35:43): *Loran couldn't really care, as soon as he's got a grab on the other unit he's kicking his thrusters into over drive to shove the Turn X and itself a distance away from the rest of the battlefield...before kicking off of it, opening it's chest cavity and throwing the PLOT NUKE he's been trying to dispose of for months at it+
Overman Zappa (03:36:47): *Gainer gets up closer to the Electron Cube and begins circling it. At random intervals, photon mats push and flatten against five of the sides. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:30): Turn A is getting its power reserves drained rapidly! Once again, dust starts to float up from the mobile suit's surface.
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:45): But that doesn't matter because soon enough, Turn X is the target of a giant point-blank nuclear explosion!
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:57): Gym: "NOOOOOOOO!"
sketchbookfiend (03:38:16): Sochie: "LORAN! YOU IDIOT!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:21): It flies through space - completely unharmed. But it lost its grip on the djinn lamp!
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:28): Harry: "There!"
tengusaur (03:38:33): Tobia: "Don't get caught in the explosion!!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:38:36): Leopold: "Now!"
VJockey (03:38:42): "MINEMINEMINEMINEMINE"
ZebulonCrispi (03:38:43): @?
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:45): The golden SUMO is right by the lamp, and kicks in your direction.
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:51): Leopold gets it!
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:54): Do something!
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:57): Before Luger does!
aldo salt (03:39:01): "Quickly!" Matthew exclaims. "Use the djinn to wish to undo it's previous wish, warrior Luger!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:39:03): Leopold: "Space Genie! Quick! Grant my wish!"
aldo salt (03:39:07): "We are all counting on you!"
VJockey (03:39:07): [Luger's rushing at Leopold now!]
ZebulonCrispi (03:39:13): Leopold: "How do I work this thing!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:17): The Space Genie leaves the lamp and yawns. That's a genie alright.
ZebulonCrispi (03:39:26): Leopold: "Oh, it really worked!"
sketchbookfiend (03:39:26): Loran gets blasted back as well no surprise, but he's kinda just flying back in the opposite direction towards the battlefield. Drains a bitch.
sketchbookfiend (03:39:28): "Ow."
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:31): Genie: "Ah, you awaken me from my deep slumber... of about 15 minutes, give or take."
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:38): Genie: "What is your wish?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:49): Genie: "Come on, I don't have all day."
ZebulonCrispi (03:39:51): Leopold: "I'm sure you're busy, so I'll cut to the chase."
ZebulonCrispi (03:39:57): "I wish..."
tengusaur (03:40:01): Tobia: "Don't say anything stupid!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:40:04): "...that Mr. Gyngham's wish..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:04): GYM: "NOOOOOOO!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:40:11): "...had been for you to leave this galaxy forever!"
sketchbookfiend (03:40:19): Sochie: "...."
VJockey (03:40:24): "!!!!!!!!!"
sketchbookfiend (03:40:28): Sochie: "YOU STUPID MOTHER FU-"
VJockey (03:40:29): "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
tengusaur (03:40:32): Tobia: "That works!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:34): Genie: "Really? Seriously?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:42): The Space Genie shrugs.
ZebulonCrispi (03:40:46): Leopold: "As long as you're here, somebody is going to make more stupid wishes."
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:48): Genie: "Very well. As you wish, it shall be done."
aldo salt (03:40:50): Matthew nods with pride. "Well spoken indeed, warrior Leopold."
Meraxa (03:40:52): Rossiu: ...Wow, thats crazy even by our standards.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:58): And the Space Genie, as well as the lamp...
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:00): both go POOF
ZebulonCrispi (03:41:01): Leopold: "It'd be better to just not have to worry about that at all!"
VJockey (03:41:06): "...."
Meraxa (03:41:06): Rossiu: Note to self - try to find a way to mess around with time...
cubey@aol.pl (03:41:23): Now no one will abuse the power of the djinni wishes anymore. At least no one in this galaxy.
sketchbookfiend (03:41:23): Loran: "...wait did that actually undo the wish?"
Wyverncakes (03:41:35): Josh: "Wait..."
VJockey (03:41:41): [Hey Leopold, There's a serpent crashing against Bismuth and wailing on it with its fists.]
VJockey (03:41:48): [Harmless...but yeah.]
ZebulonCrispi (03:41:54): "OW"
VJockey (03:41:57): [You have an insane person angry with you.]
aldo salt (03:41:58): "Aff!" Matthew says, nodding brightly. "He retroactively changed Gyngham's wish so that it was never one for invincibility!"
Overman Zappa (03:42:08): Gainer: "Okay, as useful as that is, it still sounds so completely lame."
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:08): Poe: "You did it! Somehow!" She's crying.
Wyverncakes (03:42:12): At that Josh cracks a smile.
Meraxa (03:42:22): Rossiu: ...Or it might only have changed the effects to match that. Genies might be cheap.
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:25): Harry: "It's not over yet, we must destroy Turn X now before..."
Wyverncakes (03:42:29): "Well that's one way to trump alleged invincibility!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:31): Gym: "NOOOOOOOO!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:40): The Turn X head breaks through the electric cube, triple reinforcement or not.
aldo salt (03:42:41): "I will not say, do not cry." Matthew says to Poe, feeling wistful himself. "For not all tears are ill things...."
VJockey (03:42:43): "I COULD HAVE USED THAT TO BE HEALTHY AGAIN"
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:52): It furiously flies towards the main mobile suit and reattaches itself to it.
sketchbookfiend (03:43:18): Loran: "That was worth it...Unfortunately he's still perfectly fine and an ace pilot."
tengusaur (03:43:19): Tobia: "But then we'd still have invincible Turn X to deal with!"
VJockey (03:43:26): "Thank you. Now I'm going to die a horrific death vomiting my internal organs into a gutter as my body rots under itself."
VJockey (03:43:30): "I appreciate it."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:37): Gym: "Ha ha ha ha... my one wish has been trampled under your feet."
cubey@aol.pl (03:43:59): Gym: "VERY WELL! THIS ONLY MEANS I SHALL FACE YOU AS A WARRIOR, NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:06): Enemy list: Mahiroo x2, Mahiroo (Sweatson) (damaged), Turn X (Gym Ghingham)
VJockey (03:44:15): "OH SHUT UP DUMMKOMPF"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:31): Matthew, Rossiu, go.
sketchbookfiend (03:44:31): Loran: "I'm getting really sick of this warrior crap."
Wyverncakes (03:44:36): Josh: "If you'd been confident with facing as like that... you would've never made that wish in the first place!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:39): And Josh, too.
VJockey (03:44:49): [Yeah Luger's pretty pissed now.]
Meraxa (03:46:01): Rossiu: Well then... shall we try this again?
Meraxa (03:46:31): Rossiu: Matthew, aim for his limbs if they split apart!
Wyverncakes (03:46:50): * Forte Gigas recombines, the machine charged with energy! How can you tell? Steam! Steam itself! And by that I mean all the steam coming out of the machine's body and face, not because of any other thing involving steam. Duh. But Gigas's chest opens up, Josh targeting Turn X! "So then... let's see just how tough your machine is no! Giga Blaster... full power... FIRE!" And with that, a huge beam of energy hurtles out at the machine!+
aldo salt (03:46:50): *"So then! What will you fall back on without your vaunted invincibility?" Matthew revs his throttles to full, and his Nova Messenger shoots forward at full acceleration towards the Turn X, weapons pods leveled! "Prepare yourself, GYM GYNGHAM! The cry of your defeat will echo through the….GALAXXXXXXYYYYYYY!" He starts spamming Alpha Strike blasts!+
Meraxa (03:46:59): Rossiu: *One can hear the small trumpets as the Arc Gurren charges again+
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:37): Gym: "A true warrior's spirit remains invincible in the face of HISTORY! Especially BLACK HISTORY!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:01): He's all fired up now. The Turn X pincer reaches out towards Forte Gigas - and Shining Finger starts absorbing the blaster!
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:27): It doesn't absorb its energy fully - but Turn X still has an I Field, and it allows it to totally no-sell the attack.
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:55): Then, the fully charged Shining Finger stabs into recklessly charging Arc Gurren.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:20): Can a single mobile suit stop such a gigantic battleship from advancing and crushing it?
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:25): If it's Turn X? It can.
cubey@aol.pl (03:51:34): Also, Arc Gurren's major systems are starting to power down!
tengusaur (03:51:51): Tobia: "How much power lies in that thing?!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:02): As for Matthew...
Meraxa (03:52:17): Rossiu: I see, so thats it... it adds to its power by taking our own.
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:24): Suddenly, shots from the flank! Mahiroos interrupt his charge forward with mega-particle beams firing.
Meraxa (03:52:30): Rossiu ponders this for a moment as the lights grow dim around him.
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:45): Sweatson: "I'm not done with you yet, barbarian!"
aldo salt (03:53:06): "Of course!" Matthew exclaims. "We have seen such things before…Stravag! You again!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:06): The Mahiroo smacks Nova away, and sends the mech crashing into (half-powered) Arc Gurren!
sketchbookfiend (03:53:28): Sochie: "Is this seriously the suit that came before Turn A? How come yours isn't that awesome Loran?"
sketchbookfiend (03:53:37): Loran: "..."
VJockey (03:53:48): "BECAUSE HE'S GENDER CONFUSED"
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:50): It hits a damaged part, breaking a hole into it and disappearing inside.
VJockey (03:53:52): "PICK ONE ALREADY"
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:01): Tobia and Gainer, move.
sketchbookfiend (03:54:17): Loran: "Oh shut up"
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:22): Matthew disappears into the vastness of Arc Gurren and will be lost for the rest of the mission (unless his player returns).
Meraxa (03:54:23): Rossiu: I'll have to have someone clean that up now
VJockey (03:54:26): "Nein"
VJockey (03:54:35): "I'm going to keep going."
aldo salt (03:54:37): "I let myself get distracted–!" Matthew grimaces. "Rossiu, I–!" *Crash, Bang, Static*
Meraxa (03:54:53): Rossiu: ...They may need a mop.
aldo salt (03:54:53): The Nova falls down the metaphorical rabbit hole.
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:55): Gym: "Yes, YES! Fight among each other, bicker endlessly."
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:13): Gym: "Sounds of strife are the most beautiful music to my ears!"
VJockey (03:56:09): "YOU HAVE UGLY EARS AND YOUR HAIR MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A CLOWN!"
tengusaur (03:56:21): * "I'll keep these guys off you! Focus on Turn X!" Tobia rushes towards the two non-Sweatson Mahiroos, suddenly drawing the Hi Muramasa Blaster with a dramatic gesture! In a single swing, he tries to use the multitude of beam sabers to hack through them! He avoids cockpits and generators though, through skills + newtype hax. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:56:31): Gym: "Maybe, but I am physically healthy. HA HA HA HA HA!"
VJockey (03:56:43): ".... shiesse..."
Wyverncakes (03:56:43): Josh: "And you really think we're going to fight each other just because some of us are a bit snarky?"
tengusaur (03:56:53): Tobia: "That's a low blow!"
sketchbookfiend (03:57:05): Loran: "You really are just evil."
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:34): Gym: "I only respond in kind to personal insults. Eye for an eye is the most fair of punishments!"
Meraxa (03:58:15): Rossiu: And it merely leaves the world blind!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:15): Tobia, the Mahiroo pilots try to parry and counterattack simultaneously by slashing with their claws. React to that!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:58): Gym: "Then let us all be blind together. The new generation will see anyway!"
tengusaur (03:59:22): * Tobia still has one free hand, and that's all he needs! The beam shield lowers onto it, and he punches with a hook, using a pyramid-shaped field to smash the incoming claws out of the way! +
Meraxa (03:59:53): Rossiu: ...The new generation... you are with child as well?! I thought it was just Matthew...
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:58): Tobia throws the claws away, and then immobilizes the mobile suits swiftly. That's two enemies down!
Wyverncakes (04:00:02): Josh: "Not if they stick to your way of doing things!"
VJockey (04:00:16): "I had a child once. He exploded."
VJockey (04:00:24): [Oh poor Dick Pentagon...]
Meraxa (04:00:42): Rossiu: ...Your new generation sounds unsavoury.
tengusaur (04:00:43): Tobia: "Wasn't he made of meat? I mean, literally meat?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:47): Gym: "I speak of others, those who continue to breed so that more people may be raised and die during wars. As a warrior, it is my duty not to raise more humans - BUT TO KILL THEM!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:54): Gym: "Isn't it beautiful?"
Meraxa (04:01:23): Rossiu: Nope. I'd much prefer painting the surface of the moon with your machine's hide.
tengusaur (04:01:29): Tobia: "Under all that poetic speech you're just insane!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:30): (Gainer can still act)
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:33): Also, Leo and Loran go.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:04): Gym: "No. To look at this war-torn Earth and think that peace has any kind of future, that is insanity!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:02:08): Leopold: "If he's taking our power and making it his own... then I'll just even the odds a bit!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:02:17): Leopold: "Super Bismuth..."
ZebulonCrispi (04:02:24): Bismuth: "...NEGAFORCE BUSTER!"
Overman Zappa (04:02:42): *Gainer goes right for the Mahiroo ace, unloading a full chamber of bullets before loading Freeze bullets and firing those as well. Surpriisngly Ice has been working in space!+
ZebulonCrispi (04:02:51): * Super Bismuth's hands become giant laser guns, and unleash a pair of enormous anti-energy beams at Turn X, hoping to drain all the energy it stole from Arc Gurren! +
tengusaur (04:04:02): Tobia: "If that's insanity... Then I will gladly be insane, and work for the future of other insane people!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:08): Gym: "You want to steal my thunder? Take it, TAKE IT ALL!"
VJockey (04:04:27): "Even me?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:58): Turn X seperates into a dozen bits again. They surround Super Bismuth and fire beams from several directions! At least beams that crossed path with the Buster become neutralized, but what about others? React.
Meraxa (04:05:16): #Leopold
tengusaur (04:05:16): Tobia: "...I guess, yeah. Hey, watch out!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:20): Approved.
ZebulonCrispi (04:05:39): Yeah, Super Bismuth is actally quite vulnerable during this attack.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:57): Sweatson is running low on weapons. He blocks the bullets using the shield-claw.
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:21): Sweatson: "What?!" The shield is now covered in ice! He gets around this problem by disattaching it from Mahiroo's arm and THROWING it at Gainer. React!
Meraxa (04:06:29): Rossiu: What you fail to realise... is that YOU can't take all we have! *Given how its driven, its hardly surprisingly that the Arc Gurren is already starting to - somewhat - rise back in strength. And so, it fires its own lasers! To deflect lasers. Somehow. With Attenborough smashing the button for all its worth+
Overman Zappa (04:08:43): *His gun is aslo a sword! And since it's just a large block of ice,. let's the silly thing out of the air.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:58): Gainer cuts the projectile away. You're safe, and Sweatson has no defense now.
Overman Zappa (04:11:10): Gainer: "IF you don't have anything left, go home. It's stupid to die if you don't have to!"
tengusaur (04:11:27): Tobia: "What he said!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:29): Sweatson: "Go home? In my hour of triumph?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:43): Sweatson: "You must be kidding!"
tengusaur (04:12:03): Tobia: "Triumph? You're alone in a wrecked robot!"
Overman Zappa (04:12:12): Gainer: "Yes, I'm a comedian. No you idiot! Just leave already!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:12:17): * Bismuth, firing a huge laser as he is, is more or less defenseless! He can only rust in Arc Gurren's defense and in Super Bismuths heroic durability to endure the attack.
VJockey (04:12:19): "dead in a wrecked robot."
ZebulonCrispi (04:12:21): * It is probably going to hurt. +
Wyverncakes (04:12:28): Josh: "If this is a 'triumph' for you I'd love to see what you consider a 'slight failure'."
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:46): Super Bismuth took quite a hit there. You're not sure if you can survive another attack like this! But look.
sketchbookfiend (04:12:59): Sochie: "He's really got some serious damage in that head of his."
cubey@aol.pl (04:12:59): Rossiu's barrage actually hit some of the bits. And damaged them! Slightly. Because I Field.
sketchbookfiend (04:15:24): Loran: "Ugh, even if I'm running on empty, I'll put an end to this psycho!" *The Turn A rushes, beam sabers first for the head of the Turn X. He's really into the idea of jamming them through the cockpit.+
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:10): Gym: "So that's how it's going to be? A one on one? SO be it, let's fight like men!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:45): Turn X assembles, all the pieces coming together. This happens before you slash at its head, so even though it's a bit away from you now, you can still continue with the assault.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:49): React/continue, Loran.
sketchbookfiend (04:21:58): Loran: "Your war mongering, your blood thirst, I'm going to take it all down, Ghinghaaaaaaaaam!" *The Turn A continues, it's assault, twisting it's arms to contine the slash properly downwards into the other unit, the Gundam's eyes flashing+
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:04): Gym: "Ha ha HA! How are you going to take anything down, if you are not even capable of understanding the whole extent of endlessly repeating history?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:23:21): Turn X... does nothing. Just stare at you as you slash down at it.
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:00): Gym: "Witness now, the human-made nightmare that brought Black History into existence!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:08): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Jhf4Mj6wM
sketchbookfiend (04:24:12): Loran: "What?!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:32): The blades... stop. Just stop, mere inches before hitting Turn X.
sketchbookfiend (04:24:45): Loran: "Ah- Turn A? Turn A move!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:24:57): This is because suddenly, some weird emanations sprout from Turn X's back, and shield it from harm!
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:03): They look like... wings.
Wyverncakes (04:25:16): Josh: "What the...?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:18): Gym: "HA HA HA HA! IT IS A BUTTERFLY!"
sketchbookfiend (04:25:18): Loran: ".....What. Is that?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:35): Gym: "Moonlight Butterfly! The one that brings about the end of human civilization!"
sketchbookfiend (04:25:47): Sochie: "What the hell-"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:53): As Gym continues to laugh, the wings spread around!
VJockey (04:25:56): "... Butterflies?"
sketchbookfiend (04:25:57): Loran: "Moonlight...Butterfly?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:05): Sweatson: "Wait, what... aaaah! NOO!"
VJockey (04:26:09): "Couldn't you have ended the world with a giant sword?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:21): Upon being touched, Sweatson's Mahiroo turns into ash and dust!
tengusaur (04:26:26): Tobia: "What the hell! I've never seen anything like this!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:32): The same fate awaits you - unless you do something to defend yourselves.
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:34): Everyone, react!
Overman Zappa (04:26:41): Gainer: "Wait wait... are you kidding me?" Yes, after his comedian line. "I'm not sure if I should really be worried o--"
sketchbookfiend (04:26:43): Loran: "Wh- You destroyed your own-!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:26:54): Gym: "Acceptable losses of war!"
sketchbookfiend (04:27:12): Sochie: "...L-Loran get out of there!"
Meraxa (04:27:13): Rossiu: Everyone! Inside the Arc Gurren's shield!
Wyverncakes (04:27:16): Josh: "You're just fucking insane!"
Overman Zappa (04:27:25): *King Gainer, Overskill and BAIL OUT! He overSpeeds right the hell out of it's range... or just keeps going, whicever is safer.
Wyverncakes (04:27:38): * Josh is going to follow Rossiu's advice!+
Meraxa (04:27:38): Rossiu has it raised to maximum, hoping to at least repel this strange force for an extra time.
Meraxa (04:27:41): +
tengusaur (04:27:44): * Tobia: "Shit! That guy's only getting wose!" Time to make use of that X-shaped booster to outrun the spreading wings ASAP! +
sketchbookfiend (04:27:46): *Sochie's Zaku is backing up max speed for the Arc Gurren. Loran is PROBABLy trying to get the Turn A to move its ass+
VJockey (04:28:36): *Luger imagines shoving Leopold into the path of the Moonlight butterfly and laughing maniacally. No one would EVER KNOW. BWAHAHAHAHA- oh fuck it. He's just going back inside.+
ZebulonCrispi (04:30:51): * Super Bismuth opens fire pointlessly at the Moonlight Butterfly with negaforce rays while retreating at top speed! +
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:10): Everyone made it safely, somehow. Arc Gurren's shields hold... barely.
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:17): And by everyone I mean everyone - except Loran!
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:19): Turn A cannot move!
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:33): Gym: "Ha ha ha! You didn't even know, did you?"
sketchbookfiend (04:32:39): Loran: "Do something! ...Urgh!"
sketchbookfiend (04:32:46): Loran: "What are you talking about!?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:54): Gym: "That Turn X wielded such destructive power! No, not just Turn X - its younger brother, Turn A, has it as well!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:13): Gym: "What you are in is the tool for ultimate destruction of human civilization."
sketchbookfiend (04:33:34): Loran: "...wha-" He looks back, remembering that incident with Perfectio. "...That's what he meant!?"
tengusaur (04:33:35): Tobia: "Don't listen to him! Get out of there!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:33:51): Gym: "And now... I AM GOING TO TAKE IT! GET OUT!"
Overman Zappa (04:33:53): Gainer: "If he's not lying, I wouldn't be surprised. How many of those do WE have? It's all about how it's used! Don't buy into his war hype, Loran!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:13): Turn X grabs at Turn A's crotch region. It looks indecent for an outside observer...
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:29): But that's because Turn A actually has a core lander, and Gym just disattached it from the main unit.
sketchbookfiend (04:34:42): Loran: "A-AAAH!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:34:45): And throws it away! At least Loran's controls are back on - you can control it, but only the piddly Core Lander.
Wyverncakes (04:34:59): Josh: "Loran!"
sketchbookfiend (04:35:07): Sochie: "LORAN!"
sketchbookfiend (04:35:23): Once the Core Lander is detached, Loran rights himself and has it fly back to Arc Gurren.
tengusaur (04:35:29): Tobia: "Hey! Are you okay?"
sketchbookfiend (04:35:41): Loran: "I...I..."
tengusaur (04:35:51): Tobia: "He got the Turn A! We must get it back!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:00): Gym: "Flee! Flee and grow resentful - create more strife and conflict! Such is the fate of all humanity!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:09): Gym: "Oh Merrybell, I know you're out there."
cubey@aol.pl (04:36:17): Merrybell: "Yes, Gym!"
sketchbookfiend (04:36:20): Sochie: "We can't just let the Moonrace take the White Doll like that!"
sketchbookfiend (04:36:32): Loran: "He... I..."
Wyverncakes (04:36:56): Josh: "Dammit Loran! Now's not the time to lock up like that!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:01): The Bandit quickly approaches, wielding something in its hands. It's a custom cockpit, which it quickly puts where Turn A's core lander used to be.
sketchbookfiend (04:37:04): Sochie: "S-snap out of it, Loran!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:20): Merrybell: "Okay, I have it! All the programming is here, Moonlight Butterfly is on!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:23): Gym: "BEAUTIFUL!"
Overman Zappa (04:37:33): Gainer: The cockpit just... That has suddenly become the worst feature ever now... "
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:43): Turn A emits similar butterfly wings.
sketchbookfiend (04:37:55): Unfortunately Loran has indeed locked up. He's just staring into the distance as he thinks back on everything about the Turn A. The Moonlight Butterfly is not helping.
tengusaur (04:38:03): Tobia: "Not again!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:11): If Arc Gurren (with all of you on board) doesn't retreat soon, the twon Moonlight Butterflies will destroy it!
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:22): But what of your allies? What of Willgem?
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:38): Willgem is... spared from the assault. In fact, that's where Merrybell returned from.
tengusaur (04:39:04): Tobia: "Wait. Did these guys help her?"
VJockey (04:39:21): "Oh look, we've been betrayed. Hilarious."
cubey@aol.pl (04:39:30): Gym: "Of course! My success here would not be as glorious if not for help of a little traitor!"
sketchbookfiend (04:39:38): Sochie stares at her comm to the Earthrace: "What the hell is going on over there! Miashei! Joseph! Fat bastard!?"
sketchbookfiend (04:40:10): Loran: "...Who-"
cubey@aol.pl (04:40:14): Guin Lineford: "They are not on board, miss Heim. There is only me."
Meraxa (04:40:39): Rossiu: ...Where ARE they then...?
sketchbookfiend (04:40:41): Sochie: "....You....YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! YOU'RE THROWING IN WITH THE MOONRACE!?"
tengusaur (04:40:56): Tobia: "...You planned this all along! It was just a trap to capture the Turn A!"
sketchbookfiend (04:40:58): Loran: "Lord Guin-"
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:05): Guin: "Don't worry, they are not dead. I stuffed them in an evacuation pod. They should be back on Eart by now."
VJockey (04:41:12): [Is the ship still in range?]
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:19): (No)
sketchbookfiend (04:41:31): Sochie: "Where the hell is my sister..."
sketchbookfiend (04:41:46): Sochie: "If you did anything I swear to God-"
Wyverncakes (04:41:47): Josh: "What the hell."
Wyverncakes (04:41:51): "Seriously..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:58): Guin: "I'm sorry, Rolla. A politician needs to look at things from a perspective."
Wyverncakes (04:42:01): Yeah, he's not happy.
VJockey (04:42:02): "Can we kill him?"
sketchbookfiend (04:42:17): Loran: "...I can't believe you did this."
Wyverncakes (04:42:18): "And what perspective justifies this bullshit?!?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:26): "This perspective tells me that the Ghingham faction is the one that will win this conflict. It's only sensible to ally with them, and rebuild the Earth's civilization after their victory."
sketchbookfiend (04:42:56): Loran: "But...you don't get it do you!? He wants never ending war! There'll never be a victory!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:56): Guin: "Or would you rather be destroyed by resisting Gym Ghingham fruitlessly? It's always better to live another day, isn't it?"
sketchbookfiend (04:43:08): Loran: "Ggh..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:10): Gym: "THAT'S RIGHT! At least one of you saw the light of day."
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:13): Gym: "Now, begone!"
sketchbookfiend (04:43:32): Sochie: "...I'll kill you. I'LL KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!"
tengusaur (04:43:37): Tobia: "I can't believe that guy..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:50): Turn X, Turn A and the Willgem fly away.
Meraxa (04:44:04): Rossiu: As a fellow politician, I would say... no, not always. Your duty is to your people, not to yourself. If that means laying down your life to do that which is right... THEN YOU GIVE IT UP!
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:10): Their course - Earth. Where Moonlight Butterfly will surely create massive scale destruction.
tengusaur (04:44:13): Tobia: "Where are the other Moonrace pilots? The Ord guy and the crybaby and the rest?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:34): Poe: "Crybaby?!"
sketchbookfiend (04:44:43): Sochie: "Who cares! We have to get back to Earth before they terraform it into a desert with those things!"
sketchbookfiend (04:44:55): Loran: "Sochie..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:08): Harry: "I didn't mean to worry you. It was prudent to rescue miss Kihel Heim and the others while the villain was busy monologuing."
sketchbookfiend (04:45:21): Sochie: "...oh..."
Meraxa (04:45:25): Rossiu: I did not return to this world after so many long years... to see it end like this.
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:42): The SUMOs are on Arc Gurren as well, and they grabbed the shuttle that apparently departed from Willgem.
sketchbookfiend (04:46:02): Kihel: "Then what are you sitting here for...your mission isn't quite complete yet, Harry."
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:05): Though Guin said that they'd let them go anyway... but on the other hand, with Gym being, well, Gym, who knows what he'd do.
sketchbookfiend (04:46:10): Sochie: "Sorry what?"
tengusaur (04:46:12): Tobia: "Oops, she heard... Ehe... At least they're all okay."
tengusaur (04:46:25): Tobia: "But we have to do something with the Turns!"
Meraxa (04:46:31): Rossiu: They mean... we've got a planet to save.
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:48): Harry: "Of course not. We're departing for Earth immediately! Gym Ghingham's insanity must be stopped!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:54): Wait, who put him in charge all out of sudden?
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:57): MISSION COMPLETE
aldo salt (04:47:01): A hatch hisses. And a singed, smoking Matthew sprints forward onto the bridge!
aldo salt (04:47:09): "Rossiu! I am here to assist–!"
aldo salt (04:47:14): Matthew slides to a stop.
sketchbookfiend (04:47:26): Loran: "...Welcome back."
aldo salt (04:47:36): And then hisses between his teeth.
aldo salt (04:47:38): "Stravag!"
