cubey@aol.pl (02:24:34): What's going on at the moment?
cubey@aol.pl (02:24:49): At this very moment... Warsaw burns.
ZebulonCrispi (02:25:02): Leopold and Bismuth are having an argument about Hamlet.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:02): The city was attacked by Kairos Aspida.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:17): Which is surprising because it was one of those places that asked KA for protection in the first place!
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:36): Needless to say, White Chalice can't let this slide. We found several brave defenders on short notice (that is you), and they are heading over there right now.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:43): What do? You still have moments before arrival.
Aero (02:26:13): Ichitaka: "Do you think their machines went wacky again?"
VJockey (02:26:27): "... There'd be a joke about a roman emperor here..."
Aero (02:26:33): Ichitaka: "They don't seem like the type to go back on their words."
sketchbookfiend (02:26:40): Loran: "Which one?"
peter kampschroeder (02:26:46): Haruka: "...I really hope it's something like that..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:26:49): Dan: "It's very likely, so watch out! We don't exactly know what controls Kairos Aspida units like that, but it's very dangerous!"
VJockey (02:27:04): "The one that exploded in Cthulu I think."
VJockey (02:27:13): "At least I heard she exploded."
sketchbookfiend (02:27:57): Loran: "...I think i missed that debrief."
Aero (02:28:19): Ichitaka: "I don't think now's the time to be making jokes either."
VJockey (02:28:43): "I wasn't joking."
tengusaur (02:28:54): Werter: "You're in for a ride when you actually read it, then."
Aero (02:29:15): Ichitaka: "Either way we need to focus on this for now."
tengusaur (02:29:22): Werter: "Tch... What is Kairos Aspida doing now? Attacking a city is just not how they do things."
peter kampschroeder (02:29:23): Haruka: "...It's been a while since we did this, huh Ichi?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:23): As you get close towards the city, you can see a trail of destruction left in the KA units' wake.
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:34): Destroyed buildings, some still burning with blue flames.
Aero (02:29:34): Ichitaka: "Are you sure you're up for this Haruka?"
VJockey (02:29:59): "...Even the fires are blue."
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:05): It's too much to expect everyone to have evacuated in time, is it? You're pretty sure people lost their lives here. Many people - and there will be more if you don't stop them!
peter kampschroeder (02:30:13): Haruka: "Yeah. I was gonna go home, but...protecting people is also my job."
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:23): There they are, in the distance. Walking between ruined buildings are Kairos Aspida units.
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:43): They seem badly coordinated, and attack the surroundings almost randomly.
sketchbookfiend (02:30:57): Loran: "That seems...odd."
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:07): Enemy list: Choma x8, Aeras x3, Nero x2, Fotia x2
tengusaur (02:31:16): Werter: "They're literally out of control...!"
peter kampschroeder (02:31:42): Haruka: "Kairos Aspida units! Can you hear me? There are innocent people here, you need to call off your attack!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:45): Initiative list: Haruka, Ichitaka, Loran, Werter, Leo, Ryou
Aero (02:31:57): Ichitaka: "If you can keep them disabled I should be able to rip out their engines."
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:07): Haruka is met with silence. No, wait!
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:18): KA pilot: "H... help! It's out of control! I can't!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:20): BZZZZT
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:23): Transmission ended.
Aero (02:32:27): Ichitaka: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:34): But on the other hand, the units start moving with better coordination now.
tengusaur (02:32:38): Werter: "...Well, shit."
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:40): Because they spotted you, and they move in for the kill!
sketchbookfiend (02:32:43): Loran: "This seems familiar somehow."
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:44): Haruka, Ichi, Loran, go!
VJockey (02:32:57): "... Keep them disabled..."
VJockey (02:33:15): [Yeah, Ryou's not really good at that. The whole saving people thing. Not his forte.]
tengusaur (02:33:24): Werter: "This is not the first time this happened..."
sketchbookfiend (02:33:44): *No time to think about it, the Turn A rushes in pulling out it's beam rifle in one hand and beam saber in the other. slashing towards the Choma to disarm them.+
tengusaur (02:33:44): Werter: "The Chomas are unmanned. Don't bother pulling punches against them."
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:56): Dan: "It is the same as what happened to Biff earlier! But I thought this force could cause only a single unit to be berserk at the same time?"
peter kampschroeder (02:34:09): Haruka: "Oh, thanks!"
Aero (02:34:44): * "It's gotten better at it apparently!" Both of Rushbird's arms are charged with energy and he charges at the closest Aeras intending to pull both of it's arms from it's body.+
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:45): Reminder for how the units look like:
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:53): Choma http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=804948
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:01): Aeras http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1592584
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:08): Nero http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=804885
sketchbookfiend (02:35:08): Loran: "Thanks for telling me ahead of time..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:16): Fotia http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=804887
Aero (02:35:23): I would do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiRt23SrmRI
tengusaur (02:36:08): Werter: "Well, now you know. As long as they're focused on us, they're not going after the civilians...!"
peter kampschroeder (02:36:11): *Unmanned means that other people can go deal with them; Haruka heads towards a Nero, swinging with a gravity punch!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:24): Turn A literally disarms one of the Chomas. But the rest grab their energy pikes and swarm Loran like a group of wild beasts! Forget their usual teamwork, they act savagely and pay no attention to defense!
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:25): React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:22): Seeing Rushbird, the Aeras wastes no time to unleash a swarm of bits that shoot at Ichitaka's unit with blue beams! Can your assault continue under this barrage?
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:24): React.
sketchbookfiend (02:37:46): *The Turn A 's uper body spins around unleashing a storm of missiles from it's chest compartments. And just to be safe leaps up to avoid the attacks after that's unleashed.+
VJockey (02:37:51): #Ichitaka?
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:55): Approved Ryou.
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:44): The Nero creates a spherical energy shield around itself. But what's this - as Imber punches it, it changes shape fluidly, like some sort of cloth that threatens to surround the fist - and burn it from all directions at once!
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:48): React to this too.
ZebulonCrispi (02:39:10): #
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:13): Approved.
ZebulonCrispi (02:39:43): * As the energy field envelops the fist, it gets attacked with a barrage of Negaforce Rays! Take some of the oomph out of that thing. +
VJockey (02:39:45): *Ryou's going to move in to deal with the bits, how you ask? It was tricky as hell to take the Micro Missiles off their cluster attack setting but he was going to launch a whole number of them at the funnels as well as using his AC's Anti-Missile Chest Gun on them!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:54): Turn A manages to destroy one of the Chomas. But despite the jump, they still have superior range - and their pikes can shoot beams too! The Gundam is skewered in several places and damaged rather heavily. They easily penetrate even the I-Field!
sketchbookfiend (02:40:15): Loran: "Ugh! What!?"
peter kampschroeder (02:40:23): *No guts, no glory! Haruka switches up her attack for a spin-kick!+
Aero (02:40:43): * He can since Rushbird's entire body is an energy grid. "Set it to absorb and then bring all the energy to the thrusters. Laplace Wall!" The blue shield rises around Rushbird, he's going to tear these machines apart...to make sure no one dies of course. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:38): Imber's massive hand takes some damage, but thanks to Leo and Bismuth's efforts it's not that much. The Nero is knocked down, severely damaged and pummeled into the ground!
cubey@aol.pl (02:41:54): As for Ichitaka...
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:31): You absorb all the beams easily. Surprisingly easily, even! As Ryou shoots some of the funnels down, Rushbird manages to neutralize the main unit completely!
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:59): Werter, Leo, Ryou, go.
ZebulonCrispi (02:43:52): Now that the shield's been weakened...
ZebulonCrispi (02:44:05): Leo & Bismuth: "Super Bismuth... MEGATON PUNCH!"
ZebulonCrispi (02:44:22): *Super Bismuth soars towards the Nero, humongous fist bashing its way through that energy field! +
Aero (02:44:26): Ichitaka: "Thanks Ryou!"
VJockey (02:44:34): "No problem."
cubey@aol.pl (02:44:52): The Nero tries to counter with a desperate stab of its arm-blade! React, Bismuth!
tengusaur (02:45:17): * Prometheus jumps high into the sky, and then quickly descends towards one of the Chomas, delivering a powerful heel kick to the back of its head to knock it down! If that works, Werter follows up with a drill lance straight to the chest, to impale the enemy into the ground! +
ZebulonCrispi (02:45:20): Sorry, but Leo and Bismut have been practicing a new trick
VJockey (02:45:35): *Ryou's going to take aim with the Karasawa and send bright blue-white laser bolts at the Aeras! Attempting to de-limb it as carefully as possible.+
ZebulonCrispi (02:46:02): Leopold: "Now! MAGNETON FIST!"
ZebulonCrispi (02:46:19): * While the right fist is busy punching like a madman, the left fist also transforms!
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:31): Prometheus pretty much flattens the Choma.
ZebulonCrispi (02:46:32): * Powerful magnetic waves lash out to pull the arm-blade out of the way. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:46:58): But what's this? One of the Fotias takes a deep breath... and burns blindingly bright fire right at Werter's machine!
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:04): React to this callous case of friendly fire!
Aero (02:47:40): #Werter
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:43): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:35): Ryou, there is one problem - mainly, the Aeras charges at you seeing your attack in action! Its one arm is shot off, but the other wields that blade which is being swung at you, right now. React!
Aero (02:48:53): * "Watch out!" Rushbird places itself in between the two and raises the Laplace Wall. Then he'll charge the Fotia, attempting to drive the Laplace Wall down the mouth of the Dragon. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:33): Leopold and Super Bismuth stop the enemy counter-attack cold in its tracks. The Nero is smashed into a building (an already destroyed one), where its form rests broken and unmoving.
ZebulonCrispi (02:49:52): Bismuth: "A magnificent counter, Your Majesty!"
tengusaur (02:50:05): * "They don't care about each other? This is just an AI-controlled machine, but it's still news..." A green fireman's hat appears on Prometheus' head, and a hose in his hand! Werter shoots out a stream of super-chilled plasma, trying to counter the flames and stop them from spreading to the nearby buildings! +
ZebulonCrispi (02:50:08): Leopold: "I'm just glad it worked in an actual battle."
VJockey (02:50:14): *Ryou has an answer to that. MOONLIGHT! He swings the laser blade to counter the Aeras' attack! If all goes well he'll fire another shot at the Karasawa up close to get rid of the sword arm too!+
Aero (02:50:35): Ichitaka: "Whatever has control of them doesn't care about friendly fire."
tengusaur (02:51:12): Werter: "I wonder does it have a will on its own, or are they just haywiring..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:14): Two Chomas are melted by burning fires, but Ichitaka manages to stop most of the inferno and Werter extinguishes the rest.
ZebulonCrispi (02:51:24): Leopold: "Maye there's a traitor inside Kairos Apsida?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:29): The Fotia jumps back, slowly but enough to prevent being force-fed its own energy.
cubey@aol.pl (02:51:50): Ryou blocks the attack! KA pilots usually have much better reflexes than this!
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:03): But on the other hand, your counter-attack is dodged as well and the Aeras escapes with one hand.
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:06): Suddenly!
peter kampschroeder (02:52:10): Haruka: "Your majesty?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:52:11): ???, go!
sketchbookfiend (02:52:20): Loran: "Would not be surprised."
tengusaur (02:52:54): "Good, Ichi!" Werter uses a bit more of the cold plasma to extinguish the nearby burning buildings too.
Wyverncakes (02:53:02): And suddenly two long, massive blue beams shoot down from above!
Aero (02:53:20): #Civilians?
peter kampschroeder (02:53:25): # the same?
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:38): Rejected. No civilians here.
Wyverncakes (02:53:42): One cutting across the city into the KA mooks... "No, no you can't leave YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!!!!!!" And the other serving to cut off any attempts of retreating!
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:48): Everyone either ran away a long time ago or is no longer among the living.
Wyverncakes (02:53:57): High above, it's the Thermypylae!
Aero (02:54:10): Ichitaka: "Ah it's him."
Wyverncakes (02:54:15): ^Thermopylae.
tengusaur (02:54:27): Werter: "Oh. It's that guy."
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:40): Thermopylae burn one of the Chomas - and both the Aerases, including the one you disabled to save its pilot.
peter kampschroeder (02:54:43): Haruka: "...eh?"
Wyverncakes (02:54:45): Or rather, the white half of the machine.
ZebulonCrispi (02:54:51): Leopold: "You1"
ZebulonCrispi (02:54:53): !*
peter kampschroeder (02:54:58): Haruka: "...H-hey, what are you doing?!"
tengusaur (02:55:06): Werter: "You! What the hell is going on here?"
Wyverncakes (02:55:11): Shinra: "Duuuude!"
Wyverncakes (02:55:16): "This is Kairos Aspida territory!"
tengusaur (02:55:18): Werter: "And why are you killing your own pilots!"
Wyverncakes (02:55:30): "I can come here whenever I want for whatever reason I want!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:42): Ernest: "Captain Shinra! Why the hell we're attacking our own guys, what's going on?!"
Wyverncakes (02:55:44): "I should be asking what you're all doing there!"
peter kampschroeder (02:55:45): Haruka: "But there were people in there!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:49): Aglaea: "It's the White Chalice, they're here too!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:53): Shinra didn't come alone.
Aero (02:55:53): Ichitaka: "In fact they were your people!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:27): Enemy(?) reinforcements, yellow: Thermopylae (Shinra), Fotia (Ernest), Aeras (Aglaea), Choma x3
Wyverncakes (02:56:28): Shinra's just going to ignore you guys for a moment before addressing his flunkies.
Wyverncakes (02:57:14): "Look, it's called tidying up loose ends and making sure stuff doesn't bite us in the butt! Also, come on guys there's no way you can prove anyone was still in that machine."
sketchbookfiend (02:57:35): Loran: "Ugh..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:35): KA pilot: "Shinra? Is that Shinra? HELP! HELP ME PLEASE!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:51): You're pretty sure this comes from the remaining berserk Nero.
VJockey (02:57:52): "......."
VJockey (02:58:11): "I think your point was just refuted."
Wyverncakes (02:58:13): "Help you? Well, I'll see what I can do."
Aero (02:58:20): Ichitaka: "Don't you dare."
Wyverncakes (02:58:21): "But I gotta ask though... do you believe in me?'
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:21): Aglaea: "You heard that, right?"
Wyverncakes (02:58:25): "Please man, say you believe in me."
Wyverncakes (02:58:34): "If you believe in me hard enough I MIGHT just be able to save you. MIGHT."
Wyverncakes (02:58:50): Yeah, he's laughing in his cockpit now.
peter kampschroeder (02:58:54): Haruka: "...Look, these units were rampaging across town. We need to disable them and save your pilots."
cubey@aol.pl (02:58:59): KA pilot: "Of... of course I belie" BZZZT. End of transmission.
Wyverncakes (02:59:10): "Eh, not feeling anything."
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:13): Ernest: "Captain! What the fuck!"
tengusaur (02:59:16): Werter: "...This is revolting."
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:20): Aglaea: "This isn't right!"
sketchbookfiend (02:59:20): Loran: "...Disgusting."
Aero (02:59:26): Ichitaka: "You make me sick."
Wyverncakes (02:59:32): And at that the Thermopylae turns around to the mooks!
Wyverncakes (02:59:41): "Look, who's in charge here? Me."
Wyverncakes (02:59:48): "I want you all to say that right the fuck now!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:53): Aglaea: "But..."
VJockey (02:59:57): "Hey"
peter kampschroeder (02:59:57): Imber growls, a small burst of air blasting out from him.
Wyverncakes (03:00:03): "Last one who does sleeps outside the barracks tonight."
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:10): You can hear Ernest grinding his teeth angrily.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:12): Suddenly!
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:23): Rushbird's whole body starts to burn in energy.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:30): Burning blue energy.
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:32): Ichitaka! Go!
Aero (03:00:32): Ichitaka: "Huh?"
tengusaur (03:00:48): Werter: "Ichitaka? Did you absorb Primeval Energy?"
Aero (03:00:55): (IGNORE THAT LAST HUH)
VJockey (03:00:59): ".................."
Wyverncakes (03:01:06): Shinra: "Wait... he actually-"
tengusaur (03:01:08): Werter: "Expel it! Get rid of it now!"
sketchbookfiend (03:01:22): Loran: "What-"
peter kampschroeder (03:01:23): Haruka: "...Eh?"
VJockey (03:01:43): "And here I thought things couldn't get even worse."
VJockey (03:01:48): [Sarcasm.]
Aero (03:01:49): * "I swear to god I'm going to fucking kill you!" Ichitaka is not listening at the moment, the Blue Burning Rushbird charges straight at Shinra and is intent on crashing right through him. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:01): Shinra, react to that!
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:04): Ernest: "Captain!"
VJockey (03:02:19): "Let those two fight it out."
Wyverncakes (03:02:26): "Well this makes things easier for us then!"
VJockey (03:02:32): "You two saw what kind of a psychopath he was."
VJockey (03:02:51): "He can deal with his own problems."
sketchbookfiend (03:02:57): Loran: "The kind that'll just turn this around on us."
peter kampschroeder (03:03:09): Haruka: "...Ichi, what are you doing?!"
Wyverncakes (03:03:30): * As the Rushbird enters into the shadow of Thermopylae, suddenly the black half's arms and legs emerge on the machine, binding it! And Shinra's just gonna charge right back, punching the Rushbird hard in the face!+
tengusaur (03:03:34): Werter: "Damnit, there are more important matters to do than infighting right now...!"
Wyverncakes (03:03:41): Shinra: "Looks like my lucky day, you know!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:07): Both Rushbird and Thermopylae are punched! But one of those is much larger than the other. Ichitaka's machine is punched into a crater on the ground!
VJockey (03:04:12): "If he gets loose he'll just slaughter everyone here and you know that."
Wyverncakes (03:04:15): "I mean, you're in deep shit already, seeing things that could be pretty damaging to KA if word got out-" Like Shinra's behavior wasn't enough already.
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:31): Haruka, Loran, Ichitaka, go now.
Wyverncakes (03:04:34): "-But hell yeah! More justifications!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:04:47): Aglaea: "Wh... what do we do now?"
Wyverncakes (03:04:49): It's then he points back at his squad.
Wyverncakes (03:04:57): "Still not hearing anyone saying I'm in charge yet!"
peter kampschroeder (03:05:08): "Don't!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:13): Aglaea: "You..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:17): Ernest: "No, I'll say it."
tengusaur (03:05:20): Werter: "Stop throwing your weight around!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:25): Ernest: "You're in charge, captain."
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:52): Ernest: "And to make sure you get rewards for everything you do, I'll give a big fancy report to Petar when we're done here."
Wyverncakes (03:06:17): "Righto!"
Wyverncakes (03:07:09): "Petar'll just love all of it! Remember, I'm the guy they sent back here in the first place. Whole operation banking on me!"
Wyverncakes (03:07:12): "I'm a man Petar trusts!"
tengusaur (03:07:56): Werter: "And you're going to do what, now? Kill your own soldiers and fight us, people who came here to protect the city in the first place?"
Aero (03:08:05): * Rushbird stands up from the crater, still expelling more Primeval Force. The machine raises it's arms into the air and opens up a Dimensional Crack....right above the Chalice forces. A huge torrent of Primeval Force spews out from it at everyone. +
tengusaur (03:08:39): Werter: "Stop fighting those who aren't your enemies and- guh!"
peter kampschroeder (03:08:49): #chalice team
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:51): Now if only someone with a barrier could react to that.. oh right, Rushbird is controlled by Primeval Force!
cubey@aol.pl (03:08:55): Haruka approved.
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:02): Also, updated enemy list (red):
cubey@aol.pl (03:09:08): Choma x3, Nero x1, Fotia x2, Rushbird
tengusaur (03:09:09): Werter: "Ichitaka!"
Aero (03:09:11): There's nothing from Ichi now, just complete radio silence.
sketchbookfiend (03:09:39): Loran: "What the hell is going on?"
peter kampschroeder (03:09:45): *Ichitaka's not the only one with a barrier! Imber spreads its gravity wall as large as it can, a black ring forming around the edges of the chunk of warped space. "Ichi!"+
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:26): That gravity wall is spread pretty wide... but so is Rushbird's blast!
Wyverncakes (03:10:41): Shinra: "Well to answer you... I THINK maybe you guys are dealing with the same problem that our forces were. Just a hunch."
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:46): Imber does not escape unscathed - there is moderate damage and parts of it are burning here and there, but others are safe.
cubey@aol.pl (03:10:53): Haruka and Loran can still move.
tengusaur (03:10:56): Werter: "The Rushbird's gone haywire, like the rest of Primeval Force users!"
Wyverncakes (03:10:56): "No telling which one of you guys will go bonkers next either."
Wyverncakes (03:11:03): "Woah, woah woah woah!"
Wyverncakes (03:11:11): "Don't go saying EVERYONE here is haywire!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:11:22): Aglaea: "Are you saying that we're supposed to fight White Chalice forces?!"
VJockey (03:11:26): "You're haywire"
tengusaur (03:11:35): Werter: "You might go haywire any second as far as I know! Your machine, that is."
peter kampschroeder (03:11:41): "I think we have something bigger to worry about right now!"
Wyverncakes (03:12:22): Shinra: "Look, you guys JUST SAID I was in charge."
tengusaur (03:12:30): Werter: "Maybe Rushbird will return to normal if it gets rid of all the Primeval Force..."
Wyverncakes (03:12:40): "So we're playing it cool and not leaving anyone here alive."
ZebulonCrispi (03:12:59): Leopold: "Oh, good."
sketchbookfiend (03:13:10): *Since these Choma are even more OP than he believed he's going to burst out a spray of Earthlight Butterfly at the left overs that attacked him before, and is going to rush away from that blast of Ichi's before the shield drops.+
peter kampschroeder (03:13:16): There is the sound of Haruka grinding her teeth.
cubey@aol.pl (03:13:29): Ernest: "Tch..."
VJockey (03:13:29): "..."
VJockey (03:13:42): "He didn't say anything about leaving you two alive you know."
peter kampschroeder (03:13:51): *Still, she has something else to do-and so Imber flies up into the air, aiming a shockwave punch for-Rushbird!+
VJockey (03:14:03): "He said he was in charge and that your leader trusts him."
sketchbookfiend (03:14:16): Loran: "That...is a pretty good point."
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:21): Rushbird, react to the punching.
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:30): Ernest and Aglaea: "..."
VJockey (03:14:31): "If he wanted to he could say you two went berserk as well and kill you to keep from saying something different."
VJockey (03:14:51): "But if you want to keep helping him... well that's your perogative."
cubey@aol.pl (03:14:59): The Butterfly leaves a miniature dustbowl - nearby buildings are dusted, but so are the Chomas!
Aero (03:15:16): * Just a simple Primeval Punch to counter the shockwave punch. This...might make a bit of a shockwave. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:40): And just like that, Turn A becomes a perfect target for the Fotias - their shoulder capacitors fire long-ranged blue beams, right at the White Doll! React!
aldo salt (03:15:56): #LORAN!!!!
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:59): APPROVED!
aldo salt (03:16:17): ???: "How dishonorable!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:22): The two punches neutralize each other perfectly. Rushbird and Imber are thrown in opposite directions!
peter kampschroeder (03:16:35): "Ichitaka, get ahold of yourself!"
sketchbookfiend (03:16:47): *The Turn A turns his attention towards the Fotias, hitting top speed to move away from their blasts while also firing his own Beam Rifle back at one of them.+
aldo salt (03:17:02): *Suddenly, from atop a still-standing Warsaw skyscraper, a salvo of ten lasers tears through the air, aimed right at the Fotias and their shoulder emitters!+
tengusaur (03:17:31): Werter: "Killing people who just want to help. Even killing your own people. Listen to your leader, you two! Is this how Kairos Aspida does things?"
sketchbookfiend (03:17:33): Loran: "Ah? MATTHEW!" You can practically hear the smile.
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:35): One of the Fotias is damaged - its emitters no longer function because of the laser barrage and Loran's beam blast! He evades the second one's attack easily.
Wyverncakes (03:18:39): Shinra: "And look at them down there!"
Wyverncakes (03:18:44): "Fighting amongst themselves!"
Wyverncakes (03:18:52): "We can't even be sure that's really them communicating with us right now!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:18:59): The newbie KA pilots' machines are frozen in place. They are obviously hesitating and unsure on what to do.
aldo salt (03:19:03): "Aff!" Matthew says simply. "Sorry for the delay, my comrades. Someone stabbed my Nova's right actuator with a knife!"
Wyverncakes (03:19:12): "Besides, remember Biff?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:14): Werter, Leo, go now.
Wyverncakes (03:19:14): "Yeah, I do too."
Wyverncakes (03:19:28): "'cept he's dead now and it's their fault!"
tengusaur (03:19:28): Werter: "Don't be ridiculous! Since when Primeval Force talks?"
tengusaur (03:19:31): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:37): Enemy list: Nero x1, Fotia x2 (1 damaged), Rushbird

Enemy list, yellow: Thermopylae (Shinra), Fotia (Ernest), Aeras (Aglaea), Choma x3
Wyverncakes (03:19:38): "Because they're too butthurt about wanting to keep their precious ships!"
tengusaur (03:19:45): Werter: "And we didn't kill him!"
VJockey (03:19:47): "......"
sketchbookfiend (03:20:14): Loran: "You'll just make any excuse to try and fight us!"
peter kampschroeder (03:20:19): "Who cares about the ship! If we keep fighting, people are going to die!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:20:22): Bismuth: "Shall we put Primeval Force to the test?"
aldo salt (03:20:35): "And that is the truth, Mechwarrior Shinra!" Matthew declares loudly. "We lifted no hand to slay Biff…he was killed by another, fouler force…one who wished to keep the truth he learned from getting out!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:20:40): Leopold: "It's worth a shot. Super Bismuth..."
tengusaur (03:20:47): Werter: "Bismuth! You can drain energy from stuff, right? This might work!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:20:52): Leopold & Bismuth: "...NEGAFORCE BUSTER!"
ZebulonCrispi (03:21:06): * Super Bismuth fires its signature enormous dual beam of negative energy right at the Rushbird! +
aldo salt (03:21:15): "That Primeval Force…" Matthew pauses dramatically, "Is the Tool of the DEVIL!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:19): Hey Rushbird, might want to react to that.
tengusaur (03:21:28): @ Leo
tengusaur (03:21:32): (as my action, in fact)
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:32): Approved.
VJockey (03:21:47): ".... "
Wyverncakes (03:21:48): Shinra: "Kinda overdoing it there, broski."
VJockey (03:22:05): "Trust me, he does that every day."
sketchbookfiend (03:22:06): Loran: "...Matthew that's a bit-"
aldo salt (03:22:12): "…fair." Matthew allows.
Wyverncakes (03:22:30): "Makes shit move, makes them work well, and it's gonna clean your clocks for what you've done."
Wyverncakes (03:22:45): "Besides, last I checked it didn't do anything like destroy some of Saturn's moons."
Wyverncakes (03:22:50): "Though holy hell that'd be awesome to do!"
tengusaur (03:23:16): * To make sure Rushbird doesn't just dodge that or anything, Werter rushes in, changing direction several times before attacking from the side and striking with the drill lance at the larger robot's foot, to pin it into the ground! He knows energy attacks won't do good here. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:32): Okay.
cubey@aol.pl (03:23:36): Rushbird, react to THAT.
peter kampschroeder (03:23:56): "You...don't you care at all about what's at stake?!" Haruka status=trolled.
aldo salt (03:24:18): "Exactly!" Matthew declares to Shinra. "You yourselves declared that Primeval Force was the essence that the Getter Rays were made of! The force that stopped Iapetus…and that created the foul menace of the Invaders! If the Getter Rays were such a double edged sword…then why can you not see that Primeval Force will be more so?"
VJockey (03:24:18): "he doesn't care about anything."
sketchbookfiend (03:24:26): Loran: "War monger after war monger after war monger, we just keep running into them."
VJockey (03:24:46): "I've met his kind before. Killing for the sake of killing."
Wyverncakes (03:24:54): "Dude, war's a really long-term investment."
Wyverncakes (03:25:17): "It's like buying a house and throwing toilet paper everywhere, and then having to live in it."
Wyverncakes (03:25:28): "Can't you just like... just take out a lease and burn it down?'
sketchbookfiend (03:25:35): Loran: "...."
sketchbookfiend (03:25:39): Loran: "WHAT"
sketchbookfiend (03:25:50): Cehack status=trolled
tengusaur (03:26:13): Werter: "Don't let him provoke you."
VJockey (03:26:24): "He makes less sense than Matthew."
tengusaur (03:26:27): Werter: "I know it's hard, because he's one rude and annoying jerk, but don't."
Aero (03:26:31): * The Primeval Bird raises both of it's arms instead and opens up yet another Dimension Crack above it, bringing the tower of energy crashing down right over itself. It knew that it could absorb all the attacks coming towards it, and Prometheus couldn't. +
aldo salt (03:26:38): "Indeed!" Matthew says, agreeing with Ryou.
aldo salt (03:26:45): Then he frowns. "Stravag!"
Wyverncakes (03:26:58): Shinra: "Better watch out, clanner!"
aldo salt (03:27:03): "Why must you always insult me like that?"
Wyverncakes (03:27:03): "You've got some serious competition now!"
tengusaur (03:27:05): Werter: "Tch! Prometheus is not fully healed yet..."
VJockey (03:27:09): [Clanner status: Trolled.]
Wyverncakes (03:27:10): "Up the ante, man!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:35): Rushbird is pinned to the ground, but at the same time - it washes itself in more Primeval Force energy, neutralizing the Negaforce Buster!
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:49): Ryou, Matthew, go.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:52): Also ???
ZebulonCrispi (03:27:56): Leopold: "Damn!"
sketchbookfiend (03:28:01): Loran: "Che...I really feel like punching him. Just the once."
Wyverncakes (03:28:26): Shinra: "Sure! Go ahead!"
Wyverncakes (03:28:33): "I mean, everything's fair after that, right?"
tengusaur (03:29:11): Werter: "Don't start! He'll use it as an excuse to attack us!"
aldo salt (03:29:20): *"I accept your challenge…Shinra!!!" Matthew declares, leaping off the skyscraper, and descending on a pillar of plasma. "Take this! Go, Heat Falcons!!!" Matthew's red hot radiator blades deploy and seek out Shinra's units, stabbing and slicing joints!+
tengusaur (03:29:33): Werter: "...Well, too late."
VJockey (03:29:40): "......"
VJockey (03:29:48): "MATTHEW YOU IDIOT!!"
sketchbookfiend (03:29:56): #S-shinra?
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:01): Approved.
sketchbookfiend (03:30:35): *Turn A flies across the battlefield stopping the Butterfly and throwing out it's Shield propped with both arms to try and stop Matthews attack.+
aldo salt (03:30:51): Matthew, caught up in battle fury, hesitates at Ryou's remarks.
aldo salt (03:31:02): Then gets blindsided by Loran's Butterfly! "Gah–!"
sketchbookfiend (03:31:09): Loran: "Agh! Turn down the hotbloodedness, this isn't some honorable dual!"
sketchbookfiend (03:31:26): (he turned it off actually)
aldo salt (03:31:27): Pulling back and touching down on the ground, he seethes for a moment. Then...
aldo salt (03:31:48): "Aff..I let my feeling get the better of me."
tengusaur (03:31:49): Werter: "We still have Ichi and three Kairos Aspida pilots to save!"
aldo salt (03:31:54): "I offer Surkai."
aldo salt (03:32:07): "And ask how I can help extract those pilots!"
Wyverncakes (03:32:15): * And Shinra's just... going to let Loran defend him like that! Well, not JUST... because then the Thermopylae grabs Turn A around its waist!+
tengusaur (03:32:16): Werter: "We have to get them out, which is hard, and stop this idiot from killing them, which is even harder."
Wyverncakes (03:32:26): "... Damn, thanks! Here I thought you wanted to punch me!"
sketchbookfiend (03:32:26): Loran: "Wha-!?"
Wyverncakes (03:32:34): "... Though that's kinda mixed messages here."
sketchbookfiend (03:32:39): Loran: "Don't take it out of context!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:42): The Butterfly neutralizes the attack.
cubey@aol.pl (03:32:46): But now Shinra has a human shield!
Wyverncakes (03:32:51): "So tell you what, we'll get a clean slate..."
aldo salt (03:32:51): "Stravag!" Matthew exclaims. "Loran! Can you get out on your own, or do you need help dealing with that maniac?
sketchbookfiend (03:32:55): (TURNED THE BUTTERFLY OFF)
Wyverncakes (03:32:58): "... Just shoot that Clanner's machine."
Wyverncakes (03:33:01): "Just once."
Wyverncakes (03:33:07): "Don't even have to kill him or anything!"
sketchbookfiend (03:33:15): Loran: "I'm not going to do that!"
Wyverncakes (03:33:19): "He screwed up, he should get some incentive to not do it again."
tengusaur (03:33:26): Werter: "Tch... This guy clearly gets off to abusing his power..."
Wyverncakes (03:33:31): "DUuuuuuuuuude! I said you didn't have to kill him! Just like, shoot a leg off or something!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:33:37): Ryou can still act by the way.
sketchbookfiend (03:33:39): Loran: "You holding me is incentive enough."
aldo salt (03:33:59): "Loran." Matthew says quietly. "Do what you think you must."
peter kampschroeder (03:34:10): "...Ichitaka."
peter kampschroeder (03:34:27): "...That thing wants you to keep fighting, right?"
sketchbookfiend (03:34:37): Loran: "....No! I'm not going to. If I just did what every murderer told me to then Treize would be dead and Gym would still be ruining everything with the Turn A!"
Aero (03:34:58): Complete Radio Silence Haruka.
Wyverncakes (03:35:29): "Psh. What a jerk, your friend's giving you the green light and everything! Buuuuut I'll make due here."
aldo salt (03:35:30): Matthew freezes…then chuckles. "Aff." He admits. "You raise a fair point!" He moves towards the berserk Rushbird, trying to see if there's something he can do to help.
peter kampschroeder (03:35:38): "...Then, I want you to fight me. I mean...I have kind of neglected you..."
sketchbookfiend (03:36:07): Loran: "I rather be collateral than hurt my allies or innocent people."
Wyverncakes (03:36:09): * And with that the Thermopylae raises up its other hand... and just flicks off the Turn A's head into the Nova before letting the Gundam drop.+
Wyverncakes (03:36:26): "Dude, you just saved my ass back there! What kind of jerk would I be to hold you hostage or something?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:26): Try to react to that, Loran?
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:39): Also.
cubey@aol.pl (03:36:43): RUSHBIRD MOVES
peter kampschroeder (03:36:46): "And, I can take everything you've got. I can take all that hate, or anger, or primeval energy...and keep ti from hurting anyone else."
sketchbookfiend (03:37:25): *Turn A fumble as it runs forward once released, and reaches to try and grab it's head- since he doesn't really need it to see he's not that disoriented but he still kinda needs it! He leaps forward to grab it midair.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:02): Turn A falls down in a madcap chase after its own head.
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:09): You have it, Loran - but how to attach it in the middle of a fight?
Wyverncakes (03:38:26): Aaaaand Shinra's just going to laugh his ass off at all of that.
aldo salt (03:38:38): Matthew tries to follow the Rushbird, and see if there is an opportunity to pin it down!
Wyverncakes (03:38:45): "You're all right, man... you're really all right!"
Wyverncakes (03:38:53): "I've seen some good ones, but you made that really awesome!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:22): yup
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:29): (Disregard that)
sketchbookfiend (03:39:40): Loran: "I can't believe this happened again." You'd be surprised at the fact this happened before. So he's going to just...shove it back on and twist it like a screw on cap until it's tight enough for the nanomachines to do the rest.
Aero (03:39:53): * Well it had all of this energy built up. Rushbird slowly rises into the air, raising it's two fists next to each other.
Aero (03:39:57): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkF13YQkPx0
Aero (03:40:18): When those two orbs touch...a massive dome of Primeval Force erupts from Rushbird. +
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:31): Everyone, react to meioh... I mean massive explosion.
peter kampschroeder (03:40:36): #all?
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:47): Approved, but others still need to react.
cubey@aol.pl (03:40:53): This includes a certain KA leader.
aldo salt (03:41:17): *"Stravag, not again!" Matthew says, deploying his Heat Falcons in front of his mech as a shield!+
peter kampschroeder (03:41:30): *And another barrier gets thrown up, Imber's eyes lighting up as it warps space to try to deflect away as much of that energy as possible.+
sketchbookfiend (03:41:45): *Turn A turns Earthlight Butterfly back on and backs up as much as he can without it touching anyone else and twists to wrap it around himself while also turtling behind it's shield behind the wings.+
ZebulonCrispi (03:41:57): Super Bismuth jets away from the explosin at top speed!
tengusaur (03:42:04): * "Haruka, any progress...?!" Werter jumps away backwards from the explosion, extending Prometheus' arm towards it and creating a wide plasma field! +
ZebulonCrispi (03:42:05): *+
VJockey (03:42:11): *OVERBOOST! GO! ESCAPE THE EXPLOSION RADIUS AND DRAG THAT GODDAMN IDIOT MATTHEW ALONG IF HE HAS TO!+
aldo salt (03:43:09): Matthew goes along with Ryou! "You are always handling me roughly, Merc." He grumbles.
Wyverncakes (03:43:09): * And Shinra's going to be... getting caught directly in that blast! Seems like he was still working his way through the laughter to pay attention to mass destruction!+
Wyverncakes (03:43:36): ... Though just before it hits-
Wyverncakes (03:43:44): "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
cubey@aol.pl (03:44:37): Somehow, you evade the worst of it. Though Turn A is very low on power now, and Imber starts to accumulate a lot of damage while also getting low on juice.
VJockey (03:45:02): "Well maybe if you didn't act so stupidly I could afford a little more care!"
VJockey (03:45:09): "Idiot!"
sketchbookfiend (03:45:18): Loran: "I don't think we can take another one of those."
aldo salt (03:45:37): "Money-Grubber!" Matthew retorts.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:39): "Now!" The two Kairos Aspida newbies are damaged, but their machines are fighting back - and by that I mean, the Rushbird is tackled by a massive clawed Fotia while the Aeras moves above it and stabs with the sword!
peter kampschroeder (03:45:40): (Imber has infinite energy, or at least EN regen L)
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:45): React to that, Rushbird.
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:48): As for Thermopylae...
tengusaur (03:45:55): Werter: "We can't. We have to do something about Rushbird..."
peter kampschroeder (03:45:58): "Is that...Is that all you've got?!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:22): Ernest: "You're going down before you hurt anyone else! GRAAAH!"
tengusaur (03:46:24): Werter: "It's clear Ichi is not in control."
Wyverncakes (03:46:26): And standing amidst the rubble... blackened and pitted...
aldo salt (03:46:33): "Surat-spawn!" Matthew adds. Not in regards to Ryou. In regards to the damage his comrades are suffering.
Wyverncakes (03:46:37): ... Is the combined, very intact form of the complete Thermopylae.
Wyverncakes (03:46:43): "Waaaaaait a second..."
aldo salt (03:46:44): He jump jets back into the fray.
Wyverncakes (03:46:47): "THIS WAS ALL JUST A SCAM!"
Wyverncakes (03:46:56): "YOU GUYS WERE GONNA KILL ME, WEREN'T YOU?!?"
sketchbookfiend (03:47:00): Loran: "...He's not even touched!?"
Wyverncakes (03:47:01): "MOTHER FUCKER!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:04): Aglaea: "How is that any different from those other units?"
tengusaur (03:47:22): Werter: "What kind of ridiculous theory is this?!"
aldo salt (03:47:53): "Neg, Mechwarrior Shinra!" Matthew says hotly. "We are trying to stop the gathered Primeval Force here from running amok! Now either help out or withdraw!"
tengusaur (03:48:05): Werter: "In addition to all that's wrong with this guy, he's also paranoid..."
Wyverncakes (03:48:09): * Thermopylae breaks apart again, Black hiding inside of White's shadow as the blue Flame Bits erupt, casting shadows on the Fotia and Aeras so Black's limbs can start pummeling the Rushbird from afar! "YOU BETRAYED ME MAN, YOU BETRAYED ME!" Finger laser/claws go sweeping down to shred Turn A!
peter kampschroeder (03:48:11): "H-hey, don't hurt Ichi!"
aldo salt (03:48:19): #Turn A?
peter kampschroeder (03:48:25): #KA bros?
tengusaur (03:48:32): also # KA
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:36): Approved
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:44): After defenses, Haruka, Loran and Ryou can move.
VJockey (03:48:49): "This is just a carnival of issues and insanity."
Wyverncakes (03:48:52): (Shinra's not attacking the other units, just using them to cast shadows on)
cubey@aol.pl (03:48:54): (Ryou can move already because he doesn't defend anyone)
tengusaur (03:49:02): (nevermind then)
VJockey (03:49:08): (Enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:14): Enemy list: Nero x1, Fotia x2 (1 damaged), Rushbird

Enemy list, yellow: Thermopylae (Shinra), Fotia (Ernest), Aeras (Aglaea), Choma x3
peter kampschroeder (03:49:17): (well Haruka helps out rushbird, then)
cubey@aol.pl (03:49:25): Feel free to defend Rushbird then.
aldo salt (03:49:40): *The Flame bits are suddenly slashed at by Matthew's own remote weapon attack! "Cease this Madness, And. Just. Stravag. Listen!!!" He shouts!+
Aero (03:49:44): * Rushbird will drive it's Primeval powered fist into the Fotia and try to swing it up into the way of the blade of Aeras.+
tengusaur (03:50:01): # Ernest and Aglaea
cubey@aol.pl (03:50:10): Werter approved.
VJockey (03:50:25): *Ryou's just going to let out a frustrated noise and deal with the machines that are still berserk! Moving to de-limb the damaged Fotia with both Laser Blades!+
peter kampschroeder (03:50:46): *Imber zips over towards the Kairos Aspida newbies, and raises its right arm in defiance of Shinra. A piston pulls back, then fires forward, and one of the massive shockwaves Haruka's been holding in reserve blasts forth to counter those bits.+
sketchbookfiend (03:50:47): Loran: "This guy-" *The Turn A hits for the sky at top speed to avoid the laser claws, smacking against them with the Butterfly and shield to try and bat away whatever chased him+
tengusaur (03:52:56): * "Tch... No! Ichi, try to regain control!" Werter jumps in, raising both of Prometheus' hands to create a hard plasma shield and block the way of this incoming punch! "I know you're probably trying already, but find a new way! We're trying too!" +
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:10): Unfortunately, Thermopylae is not a huge and powerful KA ace robot for no reason. Matthew's weapons are knocked aside almost like toys, and the laser claws slash at Turn A, leaving fresh marks on its body. The cockpit flashes red with alarms - critical damage all over! Loran, you're not sure how much mroe of this can you take!
sketchbookfiend (03:53:45): Loran: "Ugh! Come on, Turn A, you're tougher than this!"
Wyverncakes (03:54:01): Shinra: "I dunno."
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:02): There is a huge deadlock around Rushbird as attacks at it and by it both are being blocked or otherwise neutralized.
Wyverncakes (03:54:06): "I knocked your head off pretty easy."
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:21): Haruka and Loran can still act.
cubey@aol.pl (03:54:50): That Fotia was already damaged, and now it falls to the ground before Ryou. Its head thrashes around wildly but ineffectively.
peter kampschroeder (03:54:56): *Haruka proceeds to flip around and spin-kick Rushbird into the air.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:09): Rushbird, react.
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:34): Aglaea: "What... what are you doing?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:55:47): Ernest: "Out of the way, White Chalice! That thing almost fried you too!"
Aero (03:55:53): * Counter spin-kick! Only one of us has actual legs here Imber. +
tengusaur (03:56:15): Werter: "We potentially just saved your lives."
VJockey (03:56:38): "How many times are we going to have to say this."
VJockey (03:56:44): "We. Are. Here. To. Help."
tengusaur (03:56:50): Werter: "And there's my friend inside this robot... We're trying to get him out. Unlike Captain Arschloch here, we're trying to minimize casualties."
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:01): Rushbird's leg creaks ominously, but only one of you is powered by an unnatural blue aura! Imber crashes down on the ruined terrain once again!
tengusaur (03:57:22): Werter: "That includes those lives too." Prometheus glances at the still-operational berserk KA units.
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:26): (Loran can act)
peter kampschroeder (03:57:35): "Gah...Imber, are you alright?" The robot gives its best GWONG noise. "...Good..."
aldo salt (03:58:16): "Mechwarrior Imber!" Matthew says with a curse. "Do you need support?" He turns back to face Shinra's Thermopaylee. "Because I have a person to talk some sense into!"
sketchbookfiend (03:58:19): Loran: "Tsk...fine, but if I have to go out and you're so insistent on us planning it-" *The Turn A releases it's limiters and unfurls a proper Moonlight Butterfly. The Rainbow wings flap once before the Gundam comes flying down towards the Thermopylae. This'll probably eat the rest of his energy assuming MB doesn't refill it- but either way DIVEBOMB INTO SHINRA WITH MASSIVE WINGS. "THEN I'LL TAKE YOU ON!"+
aldo salt (03:58:41): Matthew slides back and lets Loran do his thing!
peter kampschroeder (03:58:45): "We're good, thanks!"
aldo salt (03:59:19): "Good to hear!" Matthew replies, eying the results of the Moonlight Butterfly collision with interest.
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:26): ???: "Moonlight Butterfly? In the middle of a city? I am afraid I cannot let you do that!"
Wyverncakes (04:00:05): Shinra: "Take me on? Dude, you're like a third of my si-"
tengusaur (04:00:11): Tobia: "Haruka... Are you sure you can do this on your own...?"
Wyverncakes (04:00:12): "Wait... don't tell me-"
tengusaur (04:00:23): (Werter, not Tobia, duh)
sketchbookfiend (04:00:29): Loran: "????"
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:31): Suddenly, something moves at ridiculous speeds at and around Turn A.
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:38): It slices the mobile suit with each passing.
peter kampschroeder (04:00:49): Haruka: "Gah...Yeah, I can do it."
peter kampschroeder (04:00:54): "...We can do it."
cubey@aol.pl (04:00:56): The wings barely emanate before the whole White Doll just... turns itself down.
sketchbookfiend (04:01:04): Loran: "What!?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:11): It flops to the ground, disabled. But not destroyed. Someone deliberately avoided the cockpit.
tengusaur (04:01:17): Werter: "That's good to hear, because ...Petar."
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:22): That someone... pilots a light blue custom Aeras.
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:34): Petar: "It took me a while to get here. Regrettably, as I see."
aldo salt (04:01:38): "That speed!" Matthew blurts out in shock. "Petar Vulokja!!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:52): KA reinforcement: Aeras Peacemaker Kai (Petar Vukoja)
Wyverncakes (04:01:58): Shinra: "Petar! Get a load of this: these guys were trying to pull a fast one on me!"
Wyverncakes (04:02:09): "Played me like a piano too, barely survived!"
peter kampschroeder (04:02:10): "You have to help us! Ichitaka's going out of control! Also, that Shinra guy's a huge jerk!"
Wyverncakes (04:02:17): "WOAH!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:19): Petar: "Shinra."
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:26): Petar: "Allow me a moment of sincerity between friends."
aldo salt (04:02:33): "That is a delusion!" Matthew replies hotly.
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:35): Petar: "Shut up for a second."
cubey@aol.pl (04:02:54): Petar: "Shut up, and retreat. Take your wingmen and just... go."
Wyverncakes (04:03:06): Inside of the Thermopylae, Shinra makes a nervous sound like a dog suddenly realizing it overestimated the length of its chain.
Wyverncakes (04:03:14): "... Right... right..."
Wyverncakes (04:03:21): "Just watch yourself, Petar!"
Wyverncakes (04:03:26): "They're a tricky fucking bunch!"
sketchbookfiend (04:03:29): Loran: "Damnit." Slamming the controls, guess he's out since he can't move.
tengusaur (04:03:32): Werter: "...I hope someone recorded that sound."
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:34): Petar: "This is a regrettable situation."
Wyverncakes (04:03:35): "You heard the man, we're hauling ass!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:45): Petar: "I have no choice but to handle it myself."
cubey@aol.pl (04:03:54): Ernest: "Yes, sir!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:01): Aglaea: "Aeras, leaving the battlefield!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:10): You can hear the wave of relief emanating from the newbies' voices.
Wyverncakes (04:04:29): The Thermopylae recalls its Flame Bits and absconds like the obediant dog Shinra is once someone flexes authority in front of him.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:46): All the Kairos Aspida units depart, except Peacemaker Kai.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:00): Petar: "Now, I am sure you are wondering what is this situation about."
ZebulonCrispi (04:05:06): Leopold: "Quite."
aldo salt (04:05:07): "Commander Vulkoja." Matthew says. "Your Primeval Force has run out of control in this city, ensnaring your men and ours. Will you work with us to stop the bezerk units and retrieve both our comrades?"
tengusaur (04:05:31): Werter: "Matthew pretty much explained the situation."
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:35): Petar: "You are absolutely correct. Primeval Force has gone haywire... or at least that is the case for some of our machines."
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:17): Petar: "However, I cannot do that. I am afraid our cooperation is impossible at this point."
aldo salt (04:06:20): "And do you have precautions in place should the same happen to your unit?" Matthew asks, stroking the trigger on his joystick as he says so.
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:37): Aeras Peacemaker flies in the air stoically, the fires of Warsaw slowly burning out around it.
aldo salt (04:06:41): Then he blinks. "The Stravag? Why?"
peter kampschroeder (04:06:44): "...Wha...no it's not!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:01): Petar: "Kairos Aspida stands on losing ground. Our situation is very disadvantageous."
tengusaur (04:07:03): Werter: "..." He just pushes up his glasses.
aldo salt (04:07:04): "Have not enough people died today at your Primeval Force's hands?"
aldo salt (04:07:08): Matthew asks.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:16): Petar: "What happens here is NOT MY FAULT!"
sketchbookfiend (04:07:26): Loran grumbles. He can't leave the battlefield just watch from the cockpit. "Matthew you should probably shut up.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:26): Suddenly he yells at Matthew.
aldo salt (04:07:45): "?" Matthew jumps back in his cockpit.
cubey@aol.pl (04:07:59): Petar: "It is an unexpected side effect. A side effect that is already being corrected and will not affect any more of Kairos Aspida units."
ZebulonCrispi (04:08:07): Leopold: "If we could all just tkae a moment to calm down, then..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:10): Petar: "However... because of that, we are in decline, Our political power is waning."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:23): Petar: "People no longer respect us. They respect you, the crew of White Chalice."
cubey@aol.pl (04:08:46): Petar: "Therefore, for Kairos Aspida's goals to come to any kind of fruition, we need to erect a monument. Not a building, but through action."
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:13): Petar: "This action will be my taking arms against you. The time for negotiation is over - we need White Chalice now, and we will have it."
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:29): His Aeras draws both of its large blades and takes on a battle-ready pose.
cubey@aol.pl (04:09:35): Petar: "Do not worry. I will not kill you."
peter kampschroeder (04:09:45): "...Don't do this."
ZebulonCrispi (04:09:46): Leopold: "Then cooperate with us! You're just satisfying your own pride!"
tengusaur (04:09:49): Werter: "Political power, respect... Is that what's important? Look around you. Those people are dead."
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:04): Petar: "SHUT UP."
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:10): Petar: "Do you think I do not realize it?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:23): Petar: "Do you think I know not of these deaths? My inaction has caused this."
ZebulonCrispi (04:10:34): Leopold: "Then stop fighting! There's nothing to gain from it!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:36): "And unless I do not act right now, even more deaths will follow."
tengusaur (04:10:47): Werter: "Then work with the people of this time so this won't happen again. With, not against them!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:10:49): Petar: "Stop fighting? No. It is time to stop talking."
ZebulonCrispi (04:10:59): Leopold: "Are you insane?!"
aldo salt (04:11:12): "What Werter says is true!" Matthew shouts, with anger. "And as long you refuse to realize that this Primeval Force is the Devil's tool, then this tragedy will only repeat!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:11:14): Bismuth: "Enough, Your Majesty. Words will not quell the fire in his soul."
sketchbookfiend (04:11:22): Loran: "I should have figured he'd side with that lunatic."
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:30): Suddenly, the large ring on Peacemaker's back creates an ephemereal lens. It shoots out a beam, which refracts from the lens in all possible directions. You're in the way!
cubey@aol.pl (04:11:32): React, everyone.
ZebulonCrispi (04:11:39): Bismuth: "If battle has consumed his mind, then it is with battle that we shall placate him!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:12:07): * Super Bismuth takes to the skies again, dodging between lasers like a boss! +
peter kampschroeder (04:12:22): *Haruka tries to dodge, but mostly keeps its arms in front of it and raises its gravity field.+
Aero (04:12:58): * Primeval Laplace Wall! It's Laplace Wall, but blue!+
aldo salt (04:12:59): *Matthew dodges and zips through the rubble on his jump-jets, using the ruins of buildings as shields!+
tengusaur (04:13:22): * Werter... jumps behind Rushbird, using it as a shield for Prometheus! But he stays far away from the machine so it won't punch him in response. +
cubey@aol.pl (04:13:57): You evade the attacks. They seemed half-assed for Petar... or were they?
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:01): You simply were not the targets.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:23): The rogue KA units were. The Nero and the Fotias fall down, precise shots disabling them but not causing any explosions.
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:33): Unfortunately, another one disabled by the beam swarm is Ryou's Nevermore!
sketchbookfiend (04:14:44): Loran: "...Wha-?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:54): As for Rushbird... the beams overcome the barrier. It's too much for the wall to handle!
cubey@aol.pl (04:14:59): Leo, Matthew, Rushbird, act now.
tengusaur (04:15:08): Werter: "...Make sure the pilots are out safely, at least."
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:23): Petar: "I guarantee their safety."
aldo salt (04:15:29): "…R-RYOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!"" Matthew shouts, howling in dismay.
ZebulonCrispi (04:15:33): * Still moving fast, Super Bismuth begins to circle-strafe around Petar, houndig his mech with Negaforce Rays. +
tengusaur (04:15:50): Werter: "He's not dead, Matthew. That's not how this guy rolls."
cubey@aol.pl (04:15:52): Petar: "The Peacemaker is a tool for eliminating war, not causing more death and destruction."
sketchbookfiend (04:16:27): Loran: "...And yet you have a guy like Shinra working for you? I don't get it."
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:55): Peacemaker dodges the rays with sharp movements - each dodge putting it a little closer to Super Bismuth. Finally it's right by him - and tries to skewer Leo's friend with energy blades!
cubey@aol.pl (04:16:56): React.
Aero (04:16:57): *And the cockpit of Rushbird is suddenly kicked open. Ichitaka emerges from it looking very tired. "Finally I got it open!" +
peter kampschroeder (04:17:12): "Ichitaka!"
tengusaur (04:17:15): Werter: "Excellent!"
aldo salt (04:17:24): Then Matthew exhales in relief! "Do you need pickup, Mechwarrior Ichitaka?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:17:51): Petar: "Shinra is a unique case. But he brings results, and besides - you are not the ones to accuse others of hiring people of less than spotless character."
Aero (04:17:57): Ichitaka: "No I need to shut this thing down!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:17:57): * Bismuth turns his hands into swords and treis to parry the strikes! +
tengusaur (04:18:30): Werter: "...Well. I wish I could refute what he just said, but I can't."
tengusaur (04:18:43): Werter: "Need help with that, Ichi?"
sketchbookfiend (04:19:05): Loran: "...Touche..."
aldo salt (04:19:21): *Matthew jump-jets up, behind the Peacemaker's back while it's occupied by Bismuth, and tries to skewer it with two– "Heat Falcons!"+
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:26): Unfortunately, Petar is a master swordsman. His attacks sneak past Bismuth's defenses and stab into his metal robot-flesh, leaving behind deep marks that still burn blue.
cubey@aol.pl (04:19:31): You can still move, but the damage is severe.
Aero (04:20:14): Ichitaka: "If you can keep it from trying to throw me off I'd appreciate it!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:20:19): Bismuth: "Urgh!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:28): Petar: "!" He tries to retreat his blades and evade - and is mostly successful. Mostly, but one of the blades nicks the Aeras.
cubey@aol.pl (04:20:37): Haruka and Werter, go.
ZebulonCrispi (04:20:40): Bismuth: "...I respect your skill with a blade, Petar."
aldo salt (04:21:28): *"I as well." Matthew says, retracting his Heat Falcons and stoking them with more heat. "You have the spirit of the warrior who strive to end wars within you, Petar–but this path will not bring you what you seek!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:21:29): Petar: "I take no pride in skills that are used to harm another person. But I assure you, I have spent a lot of time practicing them."
ZebulonCrispi (04:23:04): Bismuth: "The art of battle need not be dedicated to bringing suffering to others. It can be an expression of who you are!"
peter kampschroeder (04:23:26): "Right! I'll hold Rushbird down!"
tengusaur (04:23:51): Werter: "I think I'll leave it to you, then. Call me if you need help!"
tengusaur (04:24:06): Werter: "You kids could probably use some time holding each other down alone."
Aero (04:24:13): Ichitaka: "E-eh?"
tengusaur (04:24:30): Werter just smirks as Prometheus turns around to face the Aeras.
peter kampschroeder (04:24:35): *And Imber drops the elbow on Rushbird, before shifting around on the ground to put it in a leg lock with 300 tons of white, meteor-smashing goodness.+
peter kampschroeder (04:24:45): "H-hey! Werteeeeeer!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:12): Even without Ichitaka in, Rushbird still moves! It turns around and looks up.
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:23): And then it is wrestled by Imber something fierce.
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:27): And by something fierce I mean
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:28): KO
cubey@aol.pl (04:25:41): The blue flames disappear from around its body. That's good, at least.
tengusaur (04:27:38): Werter: "I'll make sure this guy is not interrupting you!" Prometheus dashes forward, but suddenly leaps into the ground, quickly creating a tunnel with the drill lance! That's just for a few moments though, because there's obvious rumbling in some other part, under Petar, and the tip of the drill lance emerges from the ground, ready to launch into the custom Aeras like a missile!
tengusaur (04:28:04): However, this is a trick... A trick Werter used some time ago when fighting another very tough anti-villain... &
Aero (04:28:48): "Um it's...we'll talk about...stuff...later." Now that he doesn't have to worry about the blue flames Ichitaka starts climbing up towards where he could access the Engine of Rushbird. "I just need to make the D-Converter work properly."
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:58): As Prometheus emerges from underground, he finds that Aeras is no longer there. It sped up high into the sky, where it charges another beam. Not bothering with refracting lenses, just fires it down right at you!
cubey@aol.pl (04:28:59): React.
cubey@aol.pl (04:29:21): React/continue
tengusaur (04:31:20): * Judging by the drill lance's movements, Werter doesn't even try to dodge... Because the drill is all there is! It's whirring forward on its own, while Prometheus is hiding safely further down the tunnel, waiting for this distraction! Werter launches half a dozen tentacles from the white robot's back, piercing through the ground and trying to grab the Aeras' limbs! +
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:55): On one hand, the drill is destroyed into uselessness now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:31:57): On the other?
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:12): "Ghhk?!" Petar is shocked. He didn't expect that as the tentacles grab the Peacemaker!
cubey@aol.pl (04:32:22): Leo, Matthew, go now!
tengusaur (04:32:44): Werter: "Gotcha. He can't dodge now!"
tengusaur (04:33:11): Werter pushes up his glasses. Again. "...Though he'll probably escape very soon, so be quick."
ZebulonCrispi (04:33:23): * Now! Super Bismuth fires Negaforce rays from its left hand as it closes in at max speed...
ZebulonCrispi (04:33:51): * ...and delivers a right hook to the jaw with the other hand once it reaches the Peacemaker! +
aldo salt (04:36:53): *Matthew frowns and considers the situation…then nods, and with a grin, zips forward in his Nova! "Take this!" He shouts deliberately. "Nova Burst!" He fires off a volley of lasers, at a very specific angle…that will most likely be deflected by Petar in a very specific way! &
cubey@aol.pl (04:37:55): Bismuth's fist embeds itself in Aeras Peacemaker Kai's head.
cubey@aol.pl (04:38:25): Then, the KA ace of aces machine is thrown back by the impact. Petar still has enough cold blood to create a deflecting lens, but he's on the defensive! Continue, Matthew.
aldo salt (04:41:24): * & Suddenly! A Heat Falcon Matthew has deployed darts in place, absorbing the reflected laser blast's heat. Glowing Orange-White, it then darts forward, ramming into the Peacemaker's right thigh!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:49): Petar: "Hmm?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:41:56): The Heat Falcon strikes at the leg.
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:03): Then, the whole leg just EXPLODES.
cubey@aol.pl (04:42:20): Aeras Peacemaker falls down to the ground, its form broken and barely functional.
ZebulonCrispi (04:42:49): Leopold: "This almost seems too easy."
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:08): Petar: "Ugh..." He sounds dizzy.
cubey@aol.pl (04:43:21): Petar: "You will not give White Chalice up if I ask, will you?"
aldo salt (04:43:24): "Words of Kerensky!" Matthew exclaims to himself. "I did not expect that strike to hit so keenly!"
tengusaur (04:43:51): Werter: "Of course not. None of us here are its owners to begin with."
tengusaur (04:44:08): Prometheus emerges from the hole in the ground.
peter kampschroeder (04:44:09): "...Maybe?"
sketchbookfiend (04:44:19): Loran: "I think we've said no enough times." Still here. Still being snide from the cockpit of an immobile robot. Is fun.
aldo salt (04:44:22): "…We would be willing to share the Chalice with you: even perhaps let some of your men room aboard it. But we will never give it to you if you wish to continue using it for it's original function." Matthew says firmly.
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:29): Petar: "From your perspective, it seems like you have won."
cubey@aol.pl (04:44:56): By the way, Ichitaka can probably restart Rushbird's generator. Good thing it shut itself down, otherwise it'd be very dangerous! Primeval Force and all. Let's hope it's all purged and gone.
aldo salt (04:45:03): Matthew snorts. "Neg, of course not. You still have a battlefleet in orbit."
peter kampschroeder (04:45:05): "...Its original function?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:29): Petar: "Not good enough, sorry."
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:42): Petar: "But tell me. What do you hope to accomplish? Destroy threats to humanity's peace? One by one?"
Aero (04:45:45): He'll do just that.
cubey@aol.pl (04:45:47): "Fight a little bit more, forever?"
aldo salt (04:45:54): "To police the world." Matthew says quietly. "Teleportation technology that would allow Kairos Aspida to deploy itself anywhere instantly, and bypass any defenses."
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:02): Rushbird's eyes shine. It slowly lifts itself up. Slowly because damage.
peter kampschroeder (04:46:06): "Well, yeah." Flawless teenager logic!
sketchbookfiend (04:46:11): Loran: "It's what we've been doing."
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:18): Also, Turn A's nanomachines made it able to move, if just barely.
Aero (04:46:37): Ichitaka: "You had me worried there partner..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:46:39): Petar: "This is not good. Even if you intend to fight to the end of your lives, what comes when those lives end?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:04): Petar: "The only way to create peace for humanity is to eradicate war itself. By promoting peaceful behaviour, and discouraging anything that glorifies violence."
peter kampschroeder (04:47:10): "...Then someone else takes Imber over?"
tengusaur (04:47:12): Werter: "There will be another generation who will do the same. I doubt heroism will disappear together with us."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:13): Petar: "Even things you call noble and honorable."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:25): Petar: "There is no such thing as a hero..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:47:44): Aeras Peacemaker Kai slowly lifts itself back up from the pile of rubble it was in.
aldo salt (04:47:56): "Oh?" Matthew says, slightly amused. "Then what do you call yourself, Petar Vulkoja?"
aldo salt (04:48:07): "Your every action has been that of a hero, you know."
tengusaur (04:48:15): Werter: "I disagree. The word might've been a bit overused, because everyone and their dog considers themselves one."
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:20): Petar: "A forceful conqueror by necessity."
tengusaur (04:48:21): Werter: "But heroes exist."
sketchbookfiend (04:48:21): Turn A gets back up as it slowly turns the lights back on, but it'll sit where it fell for now. Unless it's needed. Focus on recovery. "I'd call you a hero...in a really loose sense of the term. You did save people here."
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:39): Petar: "I will create a better world that will evade the mistakes of my timeline's future."
cubey@aol.pl (04:48:46): Petar: "Even if it kills me."
aldo salt (04:48:47): "Fighting for your ideals, against great odds, to make a better world…that is practically the definition of a hero!" Matthew adds.
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:02): The Peacemaker starts shining with intense blue light.
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:14): Petar: "Overload mode, activated."
sketchbookfiend (04:49:23): Loran: "What're you doing!?"
tengusaur (04:49:24): Werter: "...Don't!"
ZebulonCrispi (04:49:24): Leopold: "Oh, dear."
aldo salt (04:49:27): "But why can you not believe that people will voluntarily choose to make a better future, once the Tyranst that try to coerce them are–?"
aldo salt (04:49:36): "Neg!" Matthew says in alarm.
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:43): Petar: "What are you talking abo... ut?"
aldo salt (04:49:48): "Petar, this will not–!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:49): Petar: "!!!"
aldo salt (04:49:53): "Stravag!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:49:53): Suddenly, a shocked gasp.
peter kampschroeder (04:49:55): "...Huh?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:50:01): Before the whole unit starts to positively burn up with blue flame.
tengusaur (04:50:22): Werter: "Scheisse! We're pulling him out of there! Stat!"
sketchbookfiend (04:50:44): Loran: "Someone stop that thing before it starts going nuts!"
aldo salt (04:50:50): "Got it!" Matthew says, rushing forward, ready to use his arm's radiator blades to carve out the cockpit block!
ZebulonCrispi (04:50:57): Leopold: "Could your Moonlight Butterfly stop it?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:06): Petar(?): "Futile."
tengusaur (04:51:10): And Prometheus is already rushing in! (waiting for a prompt with actual actions)
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:12): His voice sounds cold.
sketchbookfiend (04:51:26): Loran: "I can't even STAND right now! Besides that'd kill him faster the way it stands- eh?"
peter kampschroeder (04:51:33): "Huh? Mister Petar?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:51:35): The Aeras flies away from your reach at incredible speeds. In the blink of an eye, it is above you, in the skies.
tengusaur (04:51:56): Werter: "...Who are you."
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:06): Petar(?): "Now is not the time for hope. You have failed."
Aero (04:52:21): Ichi climbs back into the cockpit of Rushbird with that done. "It's affecting him also?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:52:21): "Your actions only further doomed your pitiful kind. I am so happy."
ZebulonCrispi (04:52:24): Leopold: "Is that Petar, or...?"
aldo salt (04:53:03): "So the true intellect behind Primeval Force has finally assumed direct control!" Matthew snarls, pivoting his Nova upward to face the new old menace!
tengusaur (04:53:03): Werter: "This is different from before... The pilots still had control of themselves back then. Just their machines went crazy."
tengusaur (04:53:19): Werter: "Who are we speaking to...?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:32): You hear a mocking laughter. Mocking, but also sounding weird... like if the one laughing never did it before.
sketchbookfiend (04:53:37): Loran: "Ugh, come on Turn A!" Gonna start draining priorities from everything except MB (even the locks need that energy) and focus it on recovery. Nanomachines work overtime right now.
cubey@aol.pl (04:53:57): Petar(?): "You talk to the harbinger of your doom."
peter kampschroeder (04:54:12): "...What did you do to mister Petar..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:21): Petar: "Kairos Aspida, this is my last message." Suddenly, he sounds normal!
ZebulonCrispi (04:54:21): Bismuth: "What is your name, Harbinger?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:52): Petar: "I have... failed. I fought White Chalice and I failed. Do not forget what happened here. This is all their fault."
cubey@aol.pl (04:54:57): "Message end."
Aero (04:55:00): Ichitaka: "W-what!?"
tengusaur (04:55:03): Werter: "..."
sketchbookfiend (04:55:05): Loran: "You-!?"
peter kampschroeder (04:55:06): "H-hey!"
tengusaur (04:55:08): Werter: "What the?!"
peter kampschroeder (04:55:11): "That's not true!"
Aero (04:55:16): Ichitaka: "That's not even close!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:20): Petar(?): "Names are good for pitiful worms such as you."
aldo salt (04:55:28): "You duplicitious bastard!!!" Matthew snarls.
cubey@aol.pl (04:55:29): "Did you enjoy my impression of this puppet?"
sketchbookfiend (04:55:38): Loran: "We have to cut him out of there. Even if it's not him."
aldo salt (04:55:49): "Now I know you are truly an honorless wretch of an entity!"
tengusaur (04:55:59): Werter: "Stop controlling him."
tengusaur (04:56:19): Werter: "I suggest doing this while we're still asking..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:22): Petar(?): "Entity? I am above humans. I am above gods."
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:29): "I am a fundamental force of the universe."
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:34): "Perish by my influence."
sketchbookfiend (04:56:44): Loran: "Wha...no...wait, he can't mean he's"
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:47): The Aeras Peacemaker Kai burns up even more intensely!
Aero (04:56:52): Ichitaka: "So he's the one that's been controlling us..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:56:55): Haruka, Werter, Ichitaka, go!
sketchbookfiend (04:57:06): Loran: "He's literally the Primeval Force!?"
aldo salt (04:57:07): "Neg. " Matthew replies. "We refuse." He levels his weapons.
tengusaur (04:57:19): Werter: "Yes, Loran. I think."
ZebulonCrispi (04:57:19): Bismuth: "Unnamed harbinger of destruction..."
ZebulonCrispi (04:57:29): Super Bismuth slams one fist into the other palm.
ZebulonCrispi (04:57:36): Bismuth: "It shall be an honor to face you in battle."
Aero (04:57:45): "I'm going to make you regret taking over our machines."
cubey@aol.pl (04:57:49): "Honor has no meaning."
aldo salt (04:58:46): "We and Bismuth take exception to that." Matthew replies, stepping up besides Bismuth.
aldo salt (04:59:07): "Honor is just a meaningful as whatever crazed goal you intend to accomplish."
peter kampschroeder (04:59:41): *Imber floats up into the air, the pistons on its arms punching backwards. It begins to gather energy, taking on a slightly hazy quality as it warps the space around it. "100 meters...200 meters..." Haruka counts off the alititude as it rises into the air. &
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:26): Aeras points one of its arms in Imber's direction. A HUGE lance of Primeval Force shoots out towards Haruka and the robot!
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:28): React/continue
Aero (05:00:36): 3?
tengusaur (05:00:37): * "Alright, asking time is over. I will make you forfeit your control over him!" Prometheus takes off to the skies in a burst of plasma, gathering green globs in both hands. But they actually serve different purposes! Werter throws the first glob towards the enemy, which turns into a net to entangle him, and then attacks with the other fist as a powerful, plasma-covered punch! +
Aero (05:00:39): #*
cubey@aol.pl (05:00:48): Approved! Ichitaka
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:33): The glob of plasma burns away from Primeval Force's intense flame. As Prometheus charges, the small Kairos Aspida machine backhands him away!
cubey@aol.pl (05:01:55): "Insanity is for humans. I do as I do."
Aero (05:02:21): * "Don't even try it!" Now back in Ichitaka's control, Rushbird places itself between Imber and the Lance. "Lightning Blazer!" Rushbird's large GREEN beam returns and erupts out at the lance.+
aldo salt (05:02:29): "Then why do you do this, manifestation of Primeval Force?" Matthew asks.
tengusaur (05:02:29): * All Werter can do is make sure his landing is more or less controlled! "Ugh... Even more powerful than expected..."
Aero (05:02:52): Ichitaka: "It's going all out."
aldo salt (05:03:13): "Why do you keep trying to spark conflict?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:29): "Destruction of humanity is assured. Despair, terror, death. I will bring you all of it."
cubey@aol.pl (05:03:32): "It is your destiny."
aldo salt (05:04:24): Matthew…snorts. And starts recording the transmission.
peter kampschroeder (05:04:33): *"...Mister Petar, I hope you live through this." Imber rockets forward, doing its best to zip around the lance of energy and get all up in the small KA machine's face. "Imber! Now!" The pistons fire forward, and all of that stored energy bursts forth in a massive, I-can't-believe-it's-not-a-tactical-nuclear-weapon explosion.+
tengusaur (05:04:34): Werter: "I don't believe in destiny."
aldo salt (05:04:35): "Inflicting the curse of absolute despair upon us, quiaff? I have heard those words before."
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:52): The Blazer strikes against the Primeval Force lance - the two twirl around each other, making the attack slightly off-target. But Imber is still under the threat of being hit.
cubey@aol.pl (05:04:54): And then it attacks.
Aero (05:04:59): @Haruka
cubey@aol.pl (05:05:03): APPROVED
aldo salt (05:05:06): "And I drilled the one who spoke them right through with the strength of my soul!" Matthew declares proudly. "Moving in to attack?"
aldo salt (05:05:16): *moving in to attack.
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:10): "I care not for Anti-Spiral drivel. They sought to defeat a form of me. They failed. Because of you."
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:32): "There is no reason for your suffering. No deep philosophical meaning. Such things are for humanity."
cubey@aol.pl (05:06:49): "I will inflict upon you the worst despair for no reason other than that I decide to do so."
tengusaur (05:07:41): Werter: "A form of you? Does that mean Spiral Energy and Primeval Force are connected?"
aldo salt (05:07:44): "And why do you decide to do this?" Matthew says. "How did a fundamental force of the universe gain awareness and such hate for life?"
Aero (05:08:05): *Rushbird flies back down towards Haruka, opening a Dimension Crack behind it as it does to power itself up. "If that's all you want, I don't need to hesitate." It stands side by side with Imber and unleashes a torrent of Dimensional Energy in conjunction with Imber's Gravity Nuke. +
tengusaur (05:08:16): Werter: "I had a hypothesis about this, but now..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:22): "By existing."
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:49): The Aeras is being attacked by two powerful attacks of already ridiculously powerful super robots!
cubey@aol.pl (05:08:52): What does it do?
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:09): It splits into four clones that move at lightning speed, away from the epicenter of it all.
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:39): And by away I mean in your direction - their limbs slashing at Imber and Rushbird wildly! Haruka, Ichitaka, react.
cubey@aol.pl (05:09:45): Loran, Leo, Matthew, act.
ZebulonCrispi (05:10:19): Bismuth: "Our greatest foe presents itself... my soul burns with anticipation!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:10:26): Also, the surroundings are even more destroyed right now.
ZebulonCrispi (05:10:45): Leopold: "You know... for once, I actually know what you mean. You must be leaving an impression on me."
ZebulonCrispi (05:11:11): Bismuth: "Then let us face our doom with all we have!"
ZebulonCrispi (05:11:19): Lepold & Bismuth: "SUPER BISMUTH..."
aldo salt (05:11:25): *Matthew jump-jets upward and fires an Alpha Strike…at the air? "Heat threshold reached…" He mutters as sweat pours down his neck. "Go, Heat Falcons!" As the Nova starts leaving heat-mirages in it's wake, all four orange-hot Heat Falcons deploy and stab into one of the Aeras, trying to pin it down!+
cubey@aol.pl (05:11:28): Good thing nobody's around to watch it, huh.
ZebulonCrispi (05:11:43): * Super Bismuth brings its hands together, a bright light glowing between them.
ZebulonCrispi (05:11:52): Leopold & Bismuth: "...NEGAFORCE SABER!"
ZebulonCrispi (05:13:02): * An immense two-handed blade of pure Negaforce energy forms in Super Bismuth's hands. It charges into the fray and slashes repeatedly at the primeval entity, the blade ignoring all physical obstacles to suck the energy out fo whatever it touches! +
peter kampschroeder (05:13:54): *Nothing to do here but react on instinct, and Haruka's instinct is to throw another punch towards the fancy Aeras-this comes with a shockwave too, albeit a smaller one.+
sketchbookfiend (05:14:43): *Turn A's eyes light up, recovery was good enough, and now redistributing what's left for the fight. He isn't going to be able to pull out an MB probably but he's good enough to aim his Beam Rifle towards the enemy and fire a massive stream out. Hurray for separate batteries.+
Aero (05:15:02): * Rushbird does the same but also sweeps a Lightning Blazer across to deal with the many copies.+
aldo salt (05:15:32): "If you are so powerful, then why have you not yet burned this world to the ground…?" Matthew muses of the Primeval Force. Then he blinks.
cubey@aol.pl (05:15:51): The finishing hit might have been evaded.
aldo salt (05:15:51): "Of course! You can only direct your powers through the creations of humanity!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:20): But sometimes, what you need is just good old fisticuffs.
aldo salt (05:16:35): Matthew grins. "Without the creation of Primeval Force reactors…or chance reactions within the cosmos…you are a helpless being! Forced to use others as your pawns!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:16:40): One of the copies is stopped stone cold by Imber's powerful punch - and then the Light Blazer wipes it out of existence!
aldo salt (05:17:10): "That was why you sent that asteroid to cause the Second Impact, quiaff?" Matthew asks, probing for info.
tengusaur (05:17:10): Werter: "Good! Now do the same 3 more times."
cubey@aol.pl (05:17:45): Moreover, another copy was grabbed by Matthew, and then the Negaforce Saber sapped out its whole existence out... following that the saber overloads and explodes in Bismuth's hands, but it's okay, it wasn't a physical thing anyway!
Aero (05:17:52): Ichitaka: "Easier said than done Werter!"
ZebulonCrispi (05:18:08): Leopold pants from the energy drain of using this many super attacks.
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:12): The third one slashes across Imber and Rushbird, delivering soome pretty serious damage... but then Loran snipes it.
ZebulonCrispi (05:18:16): Leopold: "Even that... only took out one..."
peter kampschroeder (05:18:30): "Two down..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:37): The last remaining copy starts to rumble.
cubey@aol.pl (05:18:40): You sense... anger.
sketchbookfiend (05:18:48): Loran: "We have to keep going. No matter what."
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:17): "Your death is ensured. You have already failed."
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:40): "But I will snuff this one's life, right NOW!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:19:45): Look, it raised its voice!
peter kampschroeder (05:19:51): "No!"
aldo salt (05:19:53): "If our death was assured." Matthew says with a sneer. "You would not have to exert yourself to wipe us out…which means–Stravag!"
tengusaur (05:20:00): Werter: "Stop!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:00): The one last remaining Aeras turns into a dozen clones.
ZebulonCrispi (05:20:01): Leopold: "So you have emotions..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:10): They all raise to leap down - on Matthew!
ZebulonCrispi (05:20:17): #?
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:20): Looks like he is asking too many questions, or something about the clanner made the Force too annoyed.
peter kampschroeder (05:20:21): #?
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:31): Defense supports overridden.
sketchbookfiend (05:20:34): Loran: "Matthew!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:41): ???: "This is... my move."
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:44): ???: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:53): ???: "It belongs to a hero of my young days!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:20:58): Petar: "Gata Kiri Ba!"
aldo salt (05:21:09): *Matthew tries to evade…with all the power his Nova can muster! "Gahhhh…Petar?" He blurts out.
cubey@aol.pl (05:21:57): Petar: "Heroes or not, I need you to stop this! I need you to... just do it!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:18): He wrestles control of the Aeras Peacemaker Kai from Primeval Force - and its copies too!
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:31): Because of that, rather than on Matthew, the dozen clones all converge on...
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:34): Themselves.
sketchbookfiend (05:22:49): Loran: "What...is going on?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:22:51): Your sights are obscured by a huge explosion of blue flame.
aldo salt (05:22:58): Matthew lets out a soft breath. "Petar Vulkoja, I understand." He levels his weapons pods. "Do you have anything you want those in Kairos Aspid to know?"
tengusaur (05:23:10): Werter: "Agh..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:27): There is no response.
cubey@aol.pl (05:23:40): Once the explosion dissipates, the Aeras Peacemaker Kai and its pilot are both gone.
peter kampschroeder (05:23:46): "...Mister Petar...."
sketchbookfiend (05:23:54): Loran: "...Petar..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:01): Did he take Primeval Force with himself?
tengusaur (05:24:03): Werter: "...This is really, really bad..."
ZebulonCrispi (05:24:08): Leopold: "..We haven't seen the last of that thing."
tengusaur (05:24:08): Werter: "Petar..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:25): Kairos Aspida units that you and Petar have disabled suddenly start burning blue.
sketchbookfiend (05:24:27): Loran: "We...couldn't even save his body..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:28): And one by one, they explode!
Aero (05:24:33): Ichitaka: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:36): Your hard work... wasted here.
tengusaur (05:24:39): Werter: "If that was really the Primeval Force, then it will return... No!"
aldo salt (05:24:40): Matthew's Nova starts descending towards the ground, jump jets peterring out. "Petar Vulkoja…in the end you only wished to create a better…Gah!"
tengusaur (05:24:45): Werter: "Crap!"
sketchbookfiend (05:24:52): Loran: "Damn!"
tengusaur (05:24:53): Werter: "They're all dead..."
cubey@aol.pl (05:24:53): Primeval Force is still active.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:00): And it still wants nothing than for humanity to perish.
tengusaur (05:25:02): Werter: "And to make it worse..."
tengusaur (05:25:11): Werter: "What do you think the other KA members will think?"
sketchbookfiend (05:25:26): Loran: "...Does ANYONE have recording software in their unit that caught that?"
Aero (05:25:29): Ichitaka: "We...just need to hope that they'll listen to us."
tengusaur (05:25:34): Werter: "Do you think they will believe that Primeval Force is alive and wants to kill all humans?"
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:36): Matthew's recording of your talk with the force should serve as proof, right?
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:42): Except that when you play it back...
aldo salt (05:25:48): Matthew stops the recording he made…then forwards it's file to everyone else.
cubey@aol.pl (05:25:55): Instead of Primeval Force's words, you hear static. Static and terrible screeching noises.
aldo salt (05:25:56): But while opening his to play it back...
aldo salt (05:26:08): Matthew curses. "Stravag!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:12): This is not going to convince anyone.
Aero (05:26:16): Ichitaka: "Dammit..."
sketchbookfiend (05:26:19): Loran: "Ack- to think it even thought of that!"
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:20): The situation... looks really bad right now.
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:22): MISSION
peter kampschroeder (05:26:23): "...."
cubey@aol.pl (05:26:24): FAILED
aldo salt (05:26:28): "StravagStravagStravagStravag!!!"
sketchbookfiend (05:26:44): Loran: "...Maybe I should move back to the moon."
aldo salt (05:26:58): "STRAVAGGGGGGG!!!!"
