Mission 041: "The Nightmare of Solomon" (main log part 2)
Wyverncakes 10:28 pm
(New lineup: Shotaro, Chris, Michael, Alexei, Nanoha, Chrono, Fate, Sayla, Kou)
VJockey 10:29 pm
Michael: -Attack Ride: Blast- *once more the card was used. This time though, ALL OF WOLF'S GUNS. ALL OF THEM AT THE SHELLS+
Nekomittchi 10:29 pm
Philip: We need to limit the damage to the area. (And his body, he didn't mention)
Alan Bunting 10:29 pm
Chrono: Oh hey, that's the Gundam I shot. I didn't even have to finish it off!
Saraanne13 10:30 pm
"Uwaah! I gotta bail!" Zaku II begins to fall apart inside. Bernie unbuckles himself, opens the cockpit hatch, and gets out of there as fast as possible. He's probably not considering the danger of that+
Joseph Fischer 10:30 pm
Shou: If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them, Philip!
Wyverncakes 10:31 pm
[Defending party] LunaTrigger and the Rick Dias might have only been able to wipe out a handful of the shells individually.. but Metal Wolf Chaos and the power of Decade? HOLY COW the sky is cleared in no time... but unfortunately at the cost of nearly all of Metal Wolf Chaos's ammunition! You're not going to be pulling that off again anytime soon!
fenrirarma 10:31 pm
Alexei opens his cockpit at the same time. "Going somewhere?" Oh god he has a pistol.
Wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(Enemy lineup: Kampfer, Damaged Gouf x 2, Zaku x 2, Headless Zaku x 1, GP-02)
(Current objective: defeat Gato)
(Shotaro, Chris, Michael)
Nerdorama09 10:32 pm
Chris: "We have to stop them! If they get away with the Physalis...!"
Chris: "Any ideas, shoulder fairy?"
Joseph Fischer 10:32 pm
Shoutaro: S-Shoulder Fairy!?
Nekomittchi 10:33 pm
Philip: We need to get to them...
Philip: If we were to use HeatJoker... *to Chris* How far can you throw us?
Joseph Fischer 10:33 pm
Shoutaro: EH!?
Nerdorama09 10:33 pm
Chris: "...how far can you survive being thrown?"
Wyverncakes 10:33 pm
[Alexei] It should be an easy shot all things considered to just kill the pilot then and there... but suddenly the Zaku explodes! The blast slams you back in your cockpit and knocks the Wahrheit to the ground, scorching it somewhat... and more importantly lets the pilot escape!
Nekomittchi 10:33 pm
Philip: We're pretty sturdy. *to Shoutaro* Don't worry, Shoutaro. It works perfectly in comic books.
Joseph Fischer 10:34 pm
Shoutaro: THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S IN COMIC BOOKS!
Nerdorama09 10:34 pm
Chris: "Alright! Whenever you're ready! Remember, stop that big Gundam with the shield!"
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
Philip: *ignores Shoutaro, switches out LunaTrigger for HeatMetal*
fenrirarma 10:35 pm
Alexei: "Dammit! The kojima rate must be lowering my AMS use... I should have seen that coming!" He holds his head in a bit of shock.
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
HeatJoker*
Joseph Fischer 10:35 pm
Shoutaro: O-OI! PHILIP!
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
Philip: Shoutaro, we need to do a Maximum Drive. That will give us the power.
Joseph Fischer 10:35 pm
Shoutaro: MOU!!! *JOKAH! MAKSHIMUM DORIVU!!!*
Nekomittchi 10:36 pm
Philip: Now!
Joseph Fischer 10:36 pm
Shoutaro: Might as well do this right...
Nerdorama09 10:37 pm
* The Alex bursts upward out of its cover and into the air. Using motion routines that she had no idea would ever be useful before now, she grabs W and hurls the combined superhero directly at GP-02!&
Nekomittchi 10:38 pm
* W curls into a ball, and with their Maximum Drive, they become a flaming ball! "Joker Fastball Grenade!"+
Wyverncakes 10:39 pm
[Chris and Double] The projectile Kamen Rider hurtles at GP-02, the massive Gundam hefting its shield in defense! The Rider crashes into it, the whole shield seeming to light up with head as the Gundam is actually forced back a bit... bot suddenly with a twist of its arm Double is sent flying away!
Wyverncakes 10:40 pm
Gato: "Ridiculous! GP-02's shield can withstand the head from a nuclear explosion! What can even a Kamen Rider do against it?!?"
Gato: "Mkihail! Cover me!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:40 pm
"Heat from a nuclear explosion, huh..."
Alan Bunting 10:41 pm
Chrono: a shield.... wait! Nanoha, you have siege attacks, don't you?
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
[Chris] And with that, GP-02 begins to try to make a break for it, and the Kampfer lunges at Gundam Alex instead, firing at it with its shotgun before swinging up to kick it in the side!
Atrament Corel 10:41 pm
Nanoha: Yeah. I have to be a little careful in aiming though.
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(React: Chris)
Joseph Fischer 10:41 pm
'Shoutaro is now in a prone position after landing. Damnit, it didn't work?
Wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(While we're waiting on Michael: Alexei, Nanoha, and Chrono)
HyprKnux 1 10:42 pm
Kou: "Wait! Gato! GATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He's not letting Gato get away! His suit's on the move, racing after the GP-02
Nerdorama09 10:42 pm
* Chris lets the Chabham armor absorb the shotgun blasts again, turning the Alex's head to fire vulcans at the charging Kampfer to try and keep it at a distance!
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:43 pm
"Who the hell's in that gundam, anyways?!"
Joseph Fischer 10:44 pm
Shoutaro: That kid seems to be shouting the name Gato! Does that mean anything?
Wyverncakes 10:44 pm
[Chris] A mech-proportioned shotgun is a hell of a lot more potent than a machinegun, with bits and pieces being blasted off... and the Kampfer's speed also lets it dance around the vulcan fire almost effortlessly! The pilot's a hell of a lot better than you Chris, and its foot slams into the Alex, sending it hurtling across the street!
Nerdorama09 10:45 pm
Chris yells and curses in an unladylike fashion.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:45 pm
"Gato's an old Zeon ace. He's the one in the gundam with the shield. And, because of him…"
Nekomittchi 10:46 pm
Philip: *to Shoutaro* There was an Anavel Gato in the One Year War...
Saraanne13 10:46 pm
With his Zaku super wrecked, Bernie goes to find some cover to watch the battle. Damn Chalice pilots. Was this operation going to succeed?
Joseph Fischer 10:46 pm
"An ace, huh?"
fenrirarma 10:47 pm
Alexei: "Cosmetic damage only... Systems are coming online... That's it, SET SYNCHRO RATIO 1:1!" The Wahrheit is quick to stand moving on foot. He's trying to see everything from every angle, Kamfer in his sight. His three cannons are quickly brought to bear, firing with impeccable accuracy, using AMS to the best of his abilities to disable Kamfer.+
Wyverncakes 10:47 pm
Mikhail: "Christ... the thing's a tank but the pilot's almost as bad as Wiseman... getting that could sweeten the pot of this operation even more!!"
"Speaking of which.."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:47 pm
"Not the best, not the worst. Still a serious threat."
Wyverncakes 10:47 pm
Garcia: "... Saw him got out... thank god!"
Atrament Corel 10:48 pm
*That gundam seems to be a big threat right now, so Nanoha's gonna help take it down too. Using a siege attack like Chrono suggested might help, and Raising Heart shifts to Cannon Mode, starting to gather the dispersed magical energy across the area into a sphere that's slowly growing in size.&
Alan Bunting 10:49 pm
*As Nanoha begins charging the Starlight Breaker, Chrono follows up by charging icy blue blades in a crowd around GP-02, waiting for the cue from Nanoha before continuing.&

Wyverncakes 10:50 pm
[Alexei] The Kampfer is quick, quick enough to nearly avoid Alexei's shots and only get a few scars around its legs instead... before suddenly one of the remaining Goufs suddenly shoots out from around a corner, close to the Warheit and beam sword in hand, slashing down!
(React: Alexei)
Joseph Fischer 10:50 pm
(err, nevermind)
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:50 pm
#Alexei?
Joseph Fischer 10:51 pm
(scratch that) #Chris?
Wyverncakes 10:51 pm
[Nanoha and Chrono] The icy shards begin to clip and cut at GP-02... never completely missing it but ever-failing to land a decisive hit... and then suddenly Gato shouts out again
Gato: "ROBERT! GIRL IN THE SKY... SHOOT HER DOWN!"
[Nanoha] And suddenly off in the distance, the artillery fires again, throwing a hailstorm of shots straight at Nanoha's form!
HyprKnux 1 10:52 pm
#Nanoha?
Wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(I'll allow it)
(While we're at it, I'll allow Jockey to continue with the combo)
Alan Bunting 10:53 pm
(Can Chrono continue?)
VJockey 10:53 pm
Michael: "Maybe you can fend of a Nuke and a Kamen Rider. But there's no way that Shield's gonna withstand MY BURNING AMERICAN SPIRIT!!" -FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-D-DECADE!- "HRAAAAAAAAAAH!" *Metal Wolf TEARS into the air with his boosters at maximum burn as the cards line up to form a Path from Wolf to GP02! "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!?!?" RIDER METAL KICK!+
Wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(Yes)
HyprKnux 1 10:54 pm
Kou: "Kid, get out of the way!" * the GP-01 races towards Nanoha, intending on using his hands to cover the kid and hope the Gundarium can hold out+
fenrirarma 10:55 pm
Alexei has almost no time to react, turning around with his quick boost as fast as possible while abandoning his sniper rifle, opening his flare pods and firing some point blank rockets in a random pattern.+
Alan Bunting 10:56 pm
*"Nanoha...! You'll pay for that! Stinger Blade, Execution Shift!" The blades multiply and launch at ridiculous speeds, trying to find every exposed inch of metal. "Shoooooot!" Chrono loses sight of GP-02 in the ensuing explosion of ice.+
Wyverncakes 10:56 pm
[Michael] And Metal Wolf comes shooting down, Gato throwing up his shield once more to try to hold off the attack! The force is enough to push GP-02 away, Metal Wolf still pressing down on it as the shield begins to grow first red hot... then white hot... and then suddenly its massive beam saber stabs out of the shield, and in one smooth move lops Metal Wolf's leg clean off!
Atrament Corel 10:56 pm
Nanoha notices the incoming attacker, but a little too late. "Aaah!!" The GP01's hand protects her, but she doesn't know if will withstand the attacks.
TenebraeLunaXIII 10:57 pm
#
Wyverncakes 10:57 pm
... Thankfully the angle of the swipe did nothing else but that
Wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(Supporting Nanoha, Fate?)
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:00 pm
(Yes, sorry I should have been more clear)
VJockey 11:01 pm
Michael: Darnit Ponytail! I just got Wolf fixed! [He shakes an angry American fist as he pulls back! Thankfully between the angle and the DecaDriver he didn't have to deal with any loss of limbs. He scrambles to grab at the wayward mecha limb and backs off for now]
Wyverncakes 11:01 pm
[Chrono] "Robert! Now the ice!" More Xamel shots are fired as GP-02 continues to flee, tearing apart some of the ice successfully as the Gundam swings its massive sword and gets rid of still more. A collection of sharts still manage to shear off one of its large shoulder fins... and for a moment Gato pauses before almost seeming to breath a sigh of relief!
(Alright then)
Wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(And while we're waiting for Fate's support defend, Kou and Sayla can take their turns. Fate, you can take your turn afterwards too)
[Alexei] The rockets hammer into the Gouf, knocking it backwards and blowing its limbs apart as you manage to escape!
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:03 pm
Fate throws up her strongest barrier she can create to defend Nanoha.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:04 pm
(We still have Goufs running around, right?)
HyprKnux 1 11:04 pm
Kou: "Damn you...!" *It was then that Kou realized something - no beam rifle. Which means he can't readily fight back and protect Nanoha... that is, until Fate steps in. With a battle cry, he pulls away, vulcans blazing at the GP-02 as he intends on ramming the suit.+
Wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(Just one)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:04 pm
(Actually, better idea. @ on Kou as her action.)
Wyverncakes 11:05 pm
[Nanoha, Fate and Kou] Gundarium is indeed a powerful metal and Fate's magic is likewise powerful... but the Xamel is also a terrifying piece of long-range weaponry. Fate, if you thought the Kampfer's shotgun was straining to block, it was nothing compared to this, and when the assault finally stops, you're damn near exhausted from it.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:06 pm
*"Kid! Keep it together!" Sayla's going to back up Kou with some beam rifle shots, adding to the pressure on Gato. "If you lose your cool, you'll die!"+
Wyverncakes 11:07 pm
[Kou] GP-02's armor manages to take the damage from the vulcans well enough before Gato finally begins to start swerving out of the way of the shots... and as Kou tries to ram it GP-02 responds by swinging its blade at the other Gundam! "Ramming? When you have two functioning swords? How did you even get that Gundam in the first place?!?"
(React: Kou)
[Sayla] It's the same like last time, the Rick Dias's shots shooting at the Gundam once more, but it doesn't take long for Gato to simply adjust his course, putting himself behind GP-01 and out of Sayla's area of fire.
Atrament Corel 11:08 pm
(probably a stupid question but: does Nanoha get a continue since she's been defended?)
HyprKnux 1 11:09 pm
*Right place, right time, Gato. Just like you, except with a bit more fail. As the beam saber comes down, he tries to manuver around the saber strike AND the added beam rifle shots. "D-Dammit...!"+
Wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(Yes, but the attack's nowhere near fully charged due to worrying about the Xamel shot)
Atrament Corel 11:11 pm
(Roger. Helps with collateral.)
Joseph Fischer 11:11 pm
@ Nanoha?
Wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(Gonna say no since this is more a previous combo being picked up)
Joseph Fischer 11:11 pm
(understood)
Wyverncakes 11:12 pm
[Kou] ... And as you try to maneuver away, it's just where Gato figured you'd go. "Typical!" And with its free hand, GP-02 slams its first straight into GP-01's head, blowing out the main camera. Kou, all of a sudden a number of the screens in GP-01 go dark!
HyprKnux 1 11:12 pm
Kou: "My camera's shot! I'm blind here! Wh-where's the secondary...?!"
Wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(Nanoha may continue, also, Fate if you want to add onto this, you can)
fenrirarma 11:13 pm
Alexei: "Can anyone give me some intel on where that artillery is coming from?" Being on the ground sucks...
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:14 pm
Fate is sweating but pushes herself into one last attack. "Bardiche, I'm gonna need your help." Fate pours as much of her magic as she can into this last attack, Bardiche assisting as much as possible. "PHOTON LANCER PHALANX SHIFT!!!"+
Atrament Corel 11:14 pm
*Nanoha continues to take aim and charge her attack. The enemy's interruption has reduced the firepower she can unleash, but she's gonna try anyway. The orb floating in front of Raising Heart is now rather large, and finally, Nanoha issues the command:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjD7Hht9nlk
Nanoha: STARLIGHT...........BREAKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Atrament Corel 11:15 pm
*That large beam she's infamous for firing is now headed in the GP02's direction, albeit less powerful than usual, but that may be a blessing given how close allied units are to it.+
Alan Bunting 11:16 pm
Chrono looks back to find his vision's going pink, and suddenly wanting nothing to do with it.
Wyverncakes 11:17 pm
As soon as the beams shoot out, Gato's *ALMOST* panicked voice comes out over the radio
Gato: "STEINER ARE THEY-"
Steiner: "ON YOUR LEFT, GATO!"
Alan Bunting 11:18 pm
@
Wyverncakes 11:18 pm
[Nanoha and Fate] The blasts hurtle towards GP-02, the machine seemingly running towards a factory to its side... right before the immense destruction washes over it! For a second it seems that the Gundam's been totally destroyed... but...
Wyverncakes 11:20 pm
As the dust settles, more than three blocks away, the damaged figure of GP-02 can still be seen... now-wrecked shields in both of its hands before it discards them. At various points the armor can be seen falling off... as well as part of its shoulder, revealing a particularly large warhead contained there.
Gato: "... Another second and I would have..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:21 pm
"…He won't..."
Alan Bunting 11:21 pm
Chrono: .....okay, new plan. It involves not shooting its shoulder.
Atrament Corel 11:21 pm
Nanoha: --?!
HyprKnux 1 11:21 pm
Kou: "There... secondary camera resto-- Wait... a NUKE?!"
Joseph Fischer 11:21 pm
Shoutaro: WHAT THE HELL!?
Wyverncakes 11:22 pm
[Chris] And suddenly! A chain of discs suddenly lashes out from an angle... from the Kampfer! It lashes completely around Gundam Alex!
Nekomittchi 11:22 pm
Philip: Shoutaro... we have to stop that!
fenrirarma 11:22 pm
Alexei: "...No way..."
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:22 pm
Fate put so much energy into that one attack that she fells like she is about to fall and then she sees the nuke....
Nerdorama09 11:22 pm
Chris: "What? That's...!"
Joseph Fischer 11:22 pm
Shoutaro: The shield is gone... We can do this.
Wyverncakes 11:22 pm
Mihkail: "Gato! We can't lose GP-02! Run for it... we'll cover your escape!"
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:22 pm
(*feels)
Wyverncakes 11:23 pm
(React: Chris}
Alan Bunting 11:23 pm
Chrono: We can't let him get away! Everyone with bullets, shoot its legs!
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:23 pm
"If it was a normal pilot, I could it from here…"
Joseph Fischer 11:24 pm
"Still..." He looks back at the alex and Kampfer. "... Philip. I have an Idea."
Nekomittchi 11:24 pm
Philip: Shoutaro?
fenrirarma 11:24 pm
Alexei winces: "I'll do my best. My aim isn't the best today. Something is interferring..."
Nerdorama09 11:24 pm
Alex appears to just stand there as Chris starts activating the Chabham armor's reactive purge! &
Joseph Fischer 11:25 pm
"We're taking that suit."
Wyverncakes 11:25 pm
[Everyone else] ... Aaaand since the obvious plight of Chris being caught in chain mines weren't enough... suddenly the remaining two Zakus and the Gouf charge at out, firing with everything they can to just stall for time!
Zeon soldiers: "LIKE HELL YOU ARE... SIEG ZEON!"
Nekomittchi 11:25 pm
Philip: *is quiet for a moment, and then...* You mean piloting it ourself?
Joseph Fischer 11:25 pm
Shou: Can you do it?
Nekomittchi 11:26 pm
Philip: I've read manuals in passing, but...
Wyverncakes 11:26 pm
(React: Everyone)
Joseph Fischer 11:26 pm
Shou: It'll have to do!
Wyverncakes 11:26 pm
[Chris] The Gundam starts to begin to purge its armor... right before suddenly the mines detonate! And at once, Alex goes up in smoke! There's a massive explosion...! There's no way any Gundam could have survived that!
(Chris, because you obviously survived that, please continue)
Joseph Fischer 11:27 pm
'LUNA JOKAH!!! *Shoutaro extends his arm to slingshot himself to the Kampfer's Cockpit hatch!+
HyprKnux 1 11:27 pm
Kou: "Shit!" *The GP-01 starts to move, trying to evade the attacks and fire back with the head vulcans. Why didn't he grab a beam rifle before Gato kicked him out?!+
fenrirarma 11:27 pm
Alexei takes aim with his two back weapons while reaching for his discarded sniper rifle, his Railgun and Sniper cannon flaring in alternating order.
+
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:27 pm
*"Out of my way!" The Rick Dias matches their charge, drawing it's beam rifle to try to slice some of the suits in half on it's way to the gundam!+
VJockey 11:27 pm
Michael: *was low on ammo, but if he was precise he could...AHHAHAHA. No. Michael had a Multi Missile Launcher that was good for one go and had it locked onto the Zakus+ "EAT HOT MISSILE!"
Atrament Corel 11:28 pm
*Nanoha's just uttered a quick "Roger!" to Chrono, when the other unit starts to attack. It comes so suddenly that Raising Heart is forced to autocast Protection in defense. She can only hope it'll hold out...+
Nerdorama09 11:28 pm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfo1QYEnXqQ
The Alex stands proud and purged of its armor. Chris brings the Gundam's arm up and waits for the Kampfer pilot to make the next move. &
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:29 pm
Fate, who is now running on empty, tries to get down to the ground and find cover. "Don't worry about me, stop him!" +
Alan Bunting 11:30 pm
*Chrono nods at Fate's insistince, channeling power into speed and trying to break through to catch up with Gato! "You're not getting away...!"+
Wyverncakes 11:30 pm
[Chris and Double] Mikhail was probably surprised that the Gundam is still more or less intact, and grunting in anger the Kampfer pulls out a beam saber and shoots straight at the Alex, pulling out a beam saber... and making only the slightest of pauses to swat Double's stretchy arm out of the way!
Saraanne13 11:30 pm
Bernie: That gundam...is still standing?!
Wyverncakes 11:30 pm
(Continue: Chris)
Overman Zappa (OvermanZs1) has left the room. 11:31 pm
Nerdorama09 11:31 pm
This is the part where most Gundam pilots would draw their own beam saber and charge into a dramatic clash.
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm
[Kou] You dodge... kinda well. But Head Vulcans? Really? WHEN YOU HAVE NO HEAD? Baka Uraki
Nerdorama09 11:31 pm
Chris simply holds up the Alex's right arm and unloads its 90mm chaingun into the Kampfer's cockpit.+
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm
(What's Alexei targeting?)
HyprKnux 1 11:32 pm
Kou: "...daaamn..."
fenrirarma 11:32 pm
(Two Zakus)
Wyverncakes 11:32 pm
[Sayla, and Alexei and Michael] BAM! BAM! BOOM! The two Zakus go up in smoke from your combined efforts
[Fate and Nanoha] Between your defensive measures, minimal damage is done all around...
[Chrono] ... And more importantly, Chrono's given one last chance to try to get to Gato!
Alan Bunting 11:35 pm
*"GET BACK HERE." Once he's closed to attack range, Chrono takes one last shot with a Blaze Cannon, letting the beam fly and hoping beyond hope Gato doesn't dodge. Or better yet, doesn't notice.+
Wyverncakes 11:35 pm
[Chris] Mikhail was no doubt expecting that as well. What he didn't expect, however, as to suddenly be eating more lead than a mook in a John Woo film, with Alex's arm cannon fire damn near non-stop, carving pretty much the entire cockpit out of the Kampfer and destroying every single trace of it... before the machine finally collapses to the ground.
Also, for what it's worth, Chris, you blew 500+ rounds to kill one pilot. Inefficient much?
Joseph Fischer 11:35 pm
Shoutaro: ... So much for piloting it
Wyverncakes 11:36 pm
[Chrono] Oh, Gato's too experienced to ignore something like that, and GP-02 spins around and, in one smooth motion tosses its beam saber straight at you, Chrono! "Robert, cover me!"
Nerdorama09 11:36 pm
The Alex's arm lowers, Chris breathing heavily and staring at where the Zeke pilot used to be for a few seconds before snapping her attention back to what's left of the fight.
Wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(React: Chrono)
Wyverncakes 11:37 pm
And in the meantime, one last shot from the Xamel, off in the distance, fires, and throwing of an immense, thick fog!
The Blaze Cannon shot cuts through some of it but... it's gone
GP-02, and both of its nuclear warheads, have escaped
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:39 pm
"…Damn..."
HyprKnux 1 11:39 pm
Kou: "Dammit... DAMMIT!"
Alan Bunting 11:39 pm
*Conveniently, cutting flight magic still obeys mundane physics - Chrono will stop rising but keep moving forward. Thus, Chrono starts to drop like a rock out of the way of the blade. And bringing S2U for one more shot...!
Joseph Fischer 11:39 pm
Shoutaro: KUSOOOOOOOOOOO!
Saraanne13 11:39 pm
The Kampher goes down. Bernie gets a brain freeze, blue screen of death, or something of that effect, "M-Mikha---?"
Wyverncakes 11:39 pm
... Yeah, Bernie
Wyverncakes 11:39 pm
Everyone
You know how Garcia wanted someone under him to survive, so he'd have someone to boss around?
Joseph Fischer 11:40 pm
Shoutaro: You hear that?
Wyverncakes 11:40 pm
Well look on the bright side. You're now the most experienced member of the Cyclops Team still alive!
That makes YOU the guy who gets to boss around the newbies!
Alan Bunting 11:40 pm
*...he finds no more Gato to shoot. "Ugh, I can't believe I missed....!" He throws up a halfhearted defense as he fights to stabilize his flight.+
fenrirarma 11:41 pm
Alexei: "Don't worry about it... We'll get him...
Wyverncakes 11:41 pm
Still though, a voice comes in on the other end. It's Robert, the guy manning the Xamel
"... Y-yo... Wiseman. Still alive?"
"We're pulling out. A-and... hey. You did great. You survived, right?"
Saraanne13 11:42 pm
Bernie: Y-yeah
Wyverncakes 11:43 pm
"Good. We got what we came for... don't throw your life away. We got the Gundam now. The Federation'll pay. For this and everything else. You'll see."
So then, White Chalice and Federation people
Wyverncakes 11:44 pm
The city and the base is a wreck, and reports of those killed or wounded is downright staggering... and to top it all off, GP-02 was lost
Guess it's no surprise that this is a case of-
MISSION
FAILED
Mister Giggles (mistergiggl3s) has left the room. 11:45 pm
HyprKnux 1 11:45 pm
The GP-01 stands up, the cockpit opening as a weary Kou steps out. He's... not happy. At all.
Nekomittchi 11:45 pm
Philip: Shoutaro... we need to get to my body. I don't want to de-henshin until we find out its condition.
VJockey (vertigojockey@gmail.com) has left the room. 11:45 pm
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:45 pm
The Rick Dias goes off towards the base. Sayla's got an idiot brother to check up on...
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:46 pm
Fate breathes heavily as she gets up and starts to try and get back to the Chalice. However, one step feels like a two mile run.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:46 pm
And after that? There's a city full of wounded, now...
Joseph Fischer 11:46 pm
Shoutaro's gonna help Fate along. "Hey now, careful there..."
fenrirarma 11:47 pm
Alexei just starts to boost off. Not much to say, mission over... but god he needed some ibuprofin...
Atrament Corel 11:47 pm
Nanoha's gonna oversee her best friend's walk back too. Even though she's not feeling too hot herself.
Moreover, she's failed to notice some cracks that have formed on Raising Heart.
Joseph Fischer 11:48 pm
He might also be leading Fate towards Nanoha, and try and help both of them, even though he's pretty burnt out himself.
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:48 pm
Fate looks at Nanoha and Shoutaro tiredly and sweating from overexertion and nods, leaning on them for support.
Joseph Fischer 11:49 pm
"Come on... We need to find Philip."
Alan Bunting 11:49 pm
Chrono just makes it back to the scene of the battle as people start to leave; he's looking notable beaten up, and aside from being bloodied and tired, his face is set in a cold rage. Even so, he spares a moment to check on his colleagues. "Fate, Nanoha, you all right?"
Atrament Corel 11:50 pm
Nanoha, as always, tries to seem upbeat. "I'm okay. Just a little tired."
Joseph Fischer 11:50 pm
Shoutaro sighes and dehenshins. "That entire mission was exhausting..."
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:51 pm
Fate is still breathing heavily and rasps out "Need...sleep..."
Joseph Fischer 11:51 pm
*Err, battle to replace mission, sorry*
Nekomittchi 11:51 pm
Philip woke up, surprisingly in one piece, though there was rubble all around him. He caught some movement out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked, it was gone.
Joseph Fischer 11:52 pm
"Philip, you alright?"
Nekomittchi 11:52 pm
Philip shook his head. "No, it couldn't be..." he muttered to himself. "I-I'm fine, Shoutaro." He stood, although he was a bit shakey.
Alan Bunting 11:53 pm
Chrono switches to a thin smile for a moment. "Good. I'm glad you're all right... both of you need to rest as soon as you get back, not that I think you weren't doing that anyway. I know we didn't manage to get our target, but... good work today, you too." Then the smile is gone, replaced with a haunted look as Chrono lifts off to return to the Chalice alone.
Joseph Fischer 11:53 pm
Shou nodded. "Come on. We need to get rested up and help with clean up."
Atrament Corel 11:54 pm
Nanoha seems happy at first, but Chrono's look as he leaves doesn't escape her.
"...Chrono-kun."
Nekomittchi 11:54 pm
"A-aaa..." Philip was sure that it was just the alcohol he'd had earlier, playing tricks on him. He didn't <i>really</i> see what he thought he saw.

Michael: -Attack Ride: Blast- *once more the card was used. This time though, ALL OF WOLF'S GUNS. ALL OF THEM AT THE SHELLS+
Nekomittchi 10:29 pm
Philip: We need to limit the damage to the area. (And his body, he didn't mention)
Alan Bunting 10:29 pm
Chrono: Oh hey, that's the Gundam I shot. I didn't even have to finish it off!
Saraanne13 10:30 pm
"Uwaah! I gotta bail!" Zaku II begins to fall apart inside. Bernie unbuckles himself, opens the cockpit hatch, and gets out of there as fast as possible. He's probably not considering the danger of that+
Joseph Fischer 10:30 pm
Shou: If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them, Philip!
Wyverncakes 10:31 pm
[Defending party] LunaTrigger and the Rick Dias might have only been able to wipe out a handful of the shells individually.. but Metal Wolf Chaos and the power of Decade? HOLY COW the sky is cleared in no time... but unfortunately at the cost of nearly all of Metal Wolf Chaos's ammunition! You're not going to be pulling that off again anytime soon!
fenrirarma 10:31 pm
Alexei opens his cockpit at the same time. "Going somewhere?" Oh god he has a pistol.

Chris: "Any ideas, shoulder fairy?"
Joseph Fischer 10:32 pm
Shoutaro: S-Shoulder Fairy!?
Nekomittchi 10:33 pm
Philip: We need to get to them...
Philip: If we were to use HeatJoker... *to Chris* How far can you throw us?
Joseph Fischer 10:33 pm
Shoutaro: EH!?
Nerdorama09 10:33 pm
Chris: "...how far can you survive being thrown?"
Wyverncakes 10:33 pm
[Alexei] It should be an easy shot all things considered to just kill the pilot then and there... but suddenly the Zaku explodes! The blast slams you back in your cockpit and knocks the Wahrheit to the ground, scorching it somewhat... and more importantly lets the pilot escape!
Nekomittchi 10:33 pm
Philip: We're pretty sturdy. *to Shoutaro* Don't worry, Shoutaro. It works perfectly in comic books.
Joseph Fischer 10:34 pm
Shoutaro: THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S IN COMIC BOOKS!
Nerdorama09 10:34 pm
Chris: "Alright! Whenever you're ready! Remember, stop that big Gundam with the shield!"
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
Philip: *ignores Shoutaro, switches out LunaTrigger for HeatMetal*
fenrirarma 10:35 pm
Alexei: "Dammit! The kojima rate must be lowering my AMS use... I should have seen that coming!" He holds his head in a bit of shock.
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
HeatJoker*
Joseph Fischer 10:35 pm
Shoutaro: O-OI! PHILIP!
Nekomittchi 10:35 pm
Philip: Shoutaro, we need to do a Maximum Drive. That will give us the power.
Joseph Fischer 10:35 pm
Shoutaro: MOU!!! *JOKAH! MAKSHIMUM DORIVU!!!*
Nekomittchi 10:36 pm
Philip: Now!
Joseph Fischer 10:36 pm
Shoutaro: Might as well do this right...
Nerdorama09 10:37 pm
* The Alex bursts upward out of its cover and into the air. Using motion routines that she had no idea would ever be useful before now, she grabs W and hurls the combined superhero directly at GP-02!&
Nekomittchi 10:38 pm
* W curls into a ball, and with their Maximum Drive, they become a flaming ball! "Joker Fastball Grenade!"+
Wyverncakes 10:39 pm
[Chris and Double] The projectile Kamen Rider hurtles at GP-02, the massive Gundam hefting its shield in defense! The Rider crashes into it, the whole shield seeming to light up with head as the Gundam is actually forced back a bit... bot suddenly with a twist of its arm Double is sent flying away!
Wyverncakes 10:40 pm
Gato: "Ridiculous! GP-02's shield can withstand the head from a nuclear explosion! What can even a Kamen Rider do against it?!?"
Gato: "Mkihail! Cover me!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:40 pm
"Heat from a nuclear explosion, huh..."
Alan Bunting 10:41 pm
Chrono: a shield.... wait! Nanoha, you have siege attacks, don't you?
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
[Chris] And with that, GP-02 begins to try to make a break for it, and the Kampfer lunges at Gundam Alex instead, firing at it with its shotgun before swinging up to kick it in the side!
Atrament Corel 10:41 pm
Nanoha: Yeah. I have to be a little careful in aiming though.
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(React: Chris)
Joseph Fischer 10:41 pm
'Shoutaro is now in a prone position after landing. Damnit, it didn't work?
Wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(While we're waiting on Michael: Alexei, Nanoha, and Chrono)
HyprKnux 1 10:42 pm
Kou: "Wait! Gato! GATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He's not letting Gato get away! His suit's on the move, racing after the GP-02
Nerdorama09 10:42 pm
* Chris lets the Chabham armor absorb the shotgun blasts again, turning the Alex's head to fire vulcans at the charging Kampfer to try and keep it at a distance!
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:43 pm
"Who the hell's in that gundam, anyways?!"
Joseph Fischer 10:44 pm
Shoutaro: That kid seems to be shouting the name Gato! Does that mean anything?
Wyverncakes 10:44 pm
[Chris] A mech-proportioned shotgun is a hell of a lot more potent than a machinegun, with bits and pieces being blasted off... and the Kampfer's speed also lets it dance around the vulcan fire almost effortlessly! The pilot's a hell of a lot better than you Chris, and its foot slams into the Alex, sending it hurtling across the street!
Nerdorama09 10:45 pm
Chris yells and curses in an unladylike fashion.
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:45 pm
"Gato's an old Zeon ace. He's the one in the gundam with the shield. And, because of him…"
Nekomittchi 10:46 pm
Philip: *to Shoutaro* There was an Anavel Gato in the One Year War...
Saraanne13 10:46 pm
With his Zaku super wrecked, Bernie goes to find some cover to watch the battle. Damn Chalice pilots. Was this operation going to succeed?
Joseph Fischer 10:46 pm
"An ace, huh?"
fenrirarma 10:47 pm
Alexei: "Cosmetic damage only... Systems are coming online... That's it, SET SYNCHRO RATIO 1:1!" The Wahrheit is quick to stand moving on foot. He's trying to see everything from every angle, Kamfer in his sight. His three cannons are quickly brought to bear, firing with impeccable accuracy, using AMS to the best of his abilities to disable Kamfer.+
Wyverncakes 10:47 pm
Mikhail: "Christ... the thing's a tank but the pilot's almost as bad as Wiseman... getting that could sweeten the pot of this operation even more!!"
"Speaking of which.."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:47 pm
"Not the best, not the worst. Still a serious threat."
Wyverncakes 10:47 pm
Garcia: "... Saw him got out... thank god!"
Atrament Corel 10:48 pm
*That gundam seems to be a big threat right now, so Nanoha's gonna help take it down too. Using a siege attack like Chrono suggested might help, and Raising Heart shifts to Cannon Mode, starting to gather the dispersed magical energy across the area into a sphere that's slowly growing in size.&
Alan Bunting 10:49 pm
*As Nanoha begins charging the Starlight Breaker, Chrono follows up by charging icy blue blades in a crowd around GP-02, waiting for the cue from Nanoha before continuing.&

[Alexei] The Kampfer is quick, quick enough to nearly avoid Alexei's shots and only get a few scars around its legs instead... before suddenly one of the remaining Goufs suddenly shoots out from around a corner, close to the Warheit and beam sword in hand, slashing down!
(React: Alexei)

Wyverncakes 10:51 pm
[Nanoha and Chrono] The icy shards begin to clip and cut at GP-02... never completely missing it but ever-failing to land a decisive hit... and then suddenly Gato shouts out again
Gato: "ROBERT! GIRL IN THE SKY... SHOOT HER DOWN!"
[Nanoha] And suddenly off in the distance, the artillery fires again, throwing a hailstorm of shots straight at Nanoha's form!
HyprKnux 1 10:52 pm
#Nanoha?
Wyverncakes 10:52 pm
(I'll allow it)
(While we're at it, I'll allow Jockey to continue with the combo)
Alan Bunting 10:53 pm
(Can Chrono continue?)
VJockey 10:53 pm
Michael: "Maybe you can fend of a Nuke and a Kamen Rider. But there's no way that Shield's gonna withstand MY BURNING AMERICAN SPIRIT!!" -FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-D-DECADE!- "HRAAAAAAAAAAH!" *Metal Wolf TEARS into the air with his boosters at maximum burn as the cards line up to form a Path from Wolf to GP02! "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!?!?" RIDER METAL KICK!+
Wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(Yes)
HyprKnux 1 10:54 pm
Kou: "Kid, get out of the way!" * the GP-01 races towards Nanoha, intending on using his hands to cover the kid and hope the Gundarium can hold out+
fenrirarma 10:55 pm
Alexei has almost no time to react, turning around with his quick boost as fast as possible while abandoning his sniper rifle, opening his flare pods and firing some point blank rockets in a random pattern.+
Alan Bunting 10:56 pm
*"Nanoha...! You'll pay for that! Stinger Blade, Execution Shift!" The blades multiply and launch at ridiculous speeds, trying to find every exposed inch of metal. "Shoooooot!" Chrono loses sight of GP-02 in the ensuing explosion of ice.+
Wyverncakes 10:56 pm
[Michael] And Metal Wolf comes shooting down, Gato throwing up his shield once more to try to hold off the attack! The force is enough to push GP-02 away, Metal Wolf still pressing down on it as the shield begins to grow first red hot... then white hot... and then suddenly its massive beam saber stabs out of the shield, and in one smooth move lops Metal Wolf's leg clean off!
Atrament Corel 10:56 pm
Nanoha notices the incoming attacker, but a little too late. "Aaah!!" The GP01's hand protects her, but she doesn't know if will withstand the attacks.
TenebraeLunaXIII 10:57 pm

Wyverncakes 10:57 pm
... Thankfully the angle of the swipe did nothing else but that
Wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(Supporting Nanoha, Fate?)
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:00 pm
(Yes, sorry I should have been more clear)
VJockey 11:01 pm
Michael: Darnit Ponytail! I just got Wolf fixed! [He shakes an angry American fist as he pulls back! Thankfully between the angle and the DecaDriver he didn't have to deal with any loss of limbs. He scrambles to grab at the wayward mecha limb and backs off for now]
Wyverncakes 11:01 pm
[Chrono] "Robert! Now the ice!" More Xamel shots are fired as GP-02 continues to flee, tearing apart some of the ice successfully as the Gundam swings its massive sword and gets rid of still more. A collection of sharts still manage to shear off one of its large shoulder fins... and for a moment Gato pauses before almost seeming to breath a sigh of relief!
(Alright then)
Wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(And while we're waiting for Fate's support defend, Kou and Sayla can take their turns. Fate, you can take your turn afterwards too)
[Alexei] The rockets hammer into the Gouf, knocking it backwards and blowing its limbs apart as you manage to escape!
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:03 pm
Fate throws up her strongest barrier she can create to defend Nanoha.+
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:04 pm
(We still have Goufs running around, right?)
HyprKnux 1 11:04 pm
Kou: "Damn you...!" *It was then that Kou realized something - no beam rifle. Which means he can't readily fight back and protect Nanoha... that is, until Fate steps in. With a battle cry, he pulls away, vulcans blazing at the GP-02 as he intends on ramming the suit.+
Wyverncakes 11:04 pm
(Just one)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:04 pm
(Actually, better idea. @ on Kou as her action.)
Wyverncakes 11:05 pm
[Nanoha, Fate and Kou] Gundarium is indeed a powerful metal and Fate's magic is likewise powerful... but the Xamel is also a terrifying piece of long-range weaponry. Fate, if you thought the Kampfer's shotgun was straining to block, it was nothing compared to this, and when the assault finally stops, you're damn near exhausted from it.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:06 pm
*"Kid! Keep it together!" Sayla's going to back up Kou with some beam rifle shots, adding to the pressure on Gato. "If you lose your cool, you'll die!"+
Wyverncakes 11:07 pm
[Kou] GP-02's armor manages to take the damage from the vulcans well enough before Gato finally begins to start swerving out of the way of the shots... and as Kou tries to ram it GP-02 responds by swinging its blade at the other Gundam! "Ramming? When you have two functioning swords? How did you even get that Gundam in the first place?!?"
(React: Kou)
[Sayla] It's the same like last time, the Rick Dias's shots shooting at the Gundam once more, but it doesn't take long for Gato to simply adjust his course, putting himself behind GP-01 and out of Sayla's area of fire.
Atrament Corel 11:08 pm
(probably a stupid question but: does Nanoha get a continue since she's been defended?)
HyprKnux 1 11:09 pm
*Right place, right time, Gato. Just like you, except with a bit more fail. As the beam saber comes down, he tries to manuver around the saber strike AND the added beam rifle shots. "D-Dammit...!"+
Wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(Yes, but the attack's nowhere near fully charged due to worrying about the Xamel shot)
Atrament Corel 11:11 pm
(Roger. Helps with collateral.)
Joseph Fischer 11:11 pm
@ Nanoha?
Wyverncakes 11:11 pm
(Gonna say no since this is more a previous combo being picked up)
Joseph Fischer 11:11 pm
(understood)
Wyverncakes 11:12 pm
[Kou] ... And as you try to maneuver away, it's just where Gato figured you'd go. "Typical!" And with its free hand, GP-02 slams its first straight into GP-01's head, blowing out the main camera. Kou, all of a sudden a number of the screens in GP-01 go dark!
HyprKnux 1 11:12 pm
Kou: "My camera's shot! I'm blind here! Wh-where's the secondary...?!"
Wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(Nanoha may continue, also, Fate if you want to add onto this, you can)
fenrirarma 11:13 pm
Alexei: "Can anyone give me some intel on where that artillery is coming from?" Being on the ground sucks...
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:14 pm
Fate is sweating but pushes herself into one last attack. "Bardiche, I'm gonna need your help." Fate pours as much of her magic as she can into this last attack, Bardiche assisting as much as possible. "PHOTON LANCER PHALANX SHIFT!!!"+
Atrament Corel 11:14 pm
*Nanoha continues to take aim and charge her attack. The enemy's interruption has reduced the firepower she can unleash, but she's gonna try anyway. The orb floating in front of Raising Heart is now rather large, and finally, Nanoha issues the command:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjD7Hht9nlk
Nanoha: STARLIGHT...........BREAKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Atrament Corel 11:15 pm
*That large beam she's infamous for firing is now headed in the GP02's direction, albeit less powerful than usual, but that may be a blessing given how close allied units are to it.+
Alan Bunting 11:16 pm
Chrono looks back to find his vision's going pink, and suddenly wanting nothing to do with it.
Wyverncakes 11:17 pm
As soon as the beams shoot out, Gato's *ALMOST* panicked voice comes out over the radio
Gato: "STEINER ARE THEY-"
Steiner: "ON YOUR LEFT, GATO!"
Alan Bunting 11:18 pm

Wyverncakes 11:18 pm
[Nanoha and Fate] The blasts hurtle towards GP-02, the machine seemingly running towards a factory to its side... right before the immense destruction washes over it! For a second it seems that the Gundam's been totally destroyed... but...
Wyverncakes 11:20 pm
As the dust settles, more than three blocks away, the damaged figure of GP-02 can still be seen... now-wrecked shields in both of its hands before it discards them. At various points the armor can be seen falling off... as well as part of its shoulder, revealing a particularly large warhead contained there.
Gato: "... Another second and I would have..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:21 pm
"…He won't..."

Joseph Fischer 11:25 pm
"We're taking that suit."
Wyverncakes 11:25 pm
[Everyone else] ... Aaaand since the obvious plight of Chris being caught in chain mines weren't enough... suddenly the remaining two Zakus and the Gouf charge at out, firing with everything they can to just stall for time!
Zeon soldiers: "LIKE HELL YOU ARE... SIEG ZEON!"
Nekomittchi 11:25 pm

Wyverncakes 11:26 pm
[Chris] The Gundam starts to begin to purge its armor... right before suddenly the mines detonate! And at once, Alex goes up in smoke! There's a massive explosion...! There's no way any Gundam could have survived that!
(Chris, because you obviously survived that, please continue)
Joseph Fischer 11:27 pm
'LUNA JOKAH!!! *Shoutaro extends his arm to slingshot himself to the Kampfer's Cockpit hatch!+
HyprKnux 1 11:27 pm

Alexei takes aim with his two back weapons while reaching for his discarded sniper rifle, his Railgun and Sniper cannon flaring in alternating order.

The Alex stands proud and purged of its armor. Chris brings the Gundam's arm up and waits for the Kampfer pilot to make the next move. &
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:29 pm
Fate, who is now running on empty, tries to get down to the ground and find cover. "Don't worry about me, stop him!" +
Alan Bunting 11:30 pm
*Chrono nods at Fate's insistince, channeling power into speed and trying to break through to catch up with Gato! "You're not getting away...!"+
Wyverncakes 11:30 pm
[Chris and Double] Mikhail was probably surprised that the Gundam is still more or less intact, and grunting in anger the Kampfer pulls out a beam saber and shoots straight at the Alex, pulling out a beam saber... and making only the slightest of pauses to swat Double's stretchy arm out of the way!
Saraanne13 11:30 pm

This is the part where most Gundam pilots would draw their own beam saber and charge into a dramatic clash.
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm
[Kou] You dodge... kinda well. But Head Vulcans? Really? WHEN YOU HAVE NO HEAD? Baka Uraki
Nerdorama09 11:31 pm
Chris simply holds up the Alex's right arm and unloads its 90mm chaingun into the Kampfer's cockpit.+
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm

HyprKnux 1 11:32 pm
Kou: "...daaamn..."
fenrirarma 11:32 pm
(Two Zakus)
Wyverncakes 11:32 pm
[Sayla, and Alexei and Michael] BAM! BAM! BOOM! The two Zakus go up in smoke from your combined efforts
[Fate and Nanoha] Between your defensive measures, minimal damage is done all around...
[Chrono] ... And more importantly, Chrono's given one last chance to try to get to Gato!
Alan Bunting 11:35 pm
*"GET BACK HERE." Once he's closed to attack range, Chrono takes one last shot with a Blaze Cannon, letting the beam fly and hoping beyond hope Gato doesn't dodge. Or better yet, doesn't notice.+
Wyverncakes 11:35 pm
[Chris] Mikhail was no doubt expecting that as well. What he didn't expect, however, as to suddenly be eating more lead than a mook in a John Woo film, with Alex's arm cannon fire damn near non-stop, carving pretty much the entire cockpit out of the Kampfer and destroying every single trace of it... before the machine finally collapses to the ground.
Also, for what it's worth, Chris, you blew 500+ rounds to kill one pilot. Inefficient much?
Joseph Fischer 11:35 pm
Shoutaro: ... So much for piloting it
Wyverncakes 11:36 pm
[Chrono] Oh, Gato's too experienced to ignore something like that, and GP-02 spins around and, in one smooth motion tosses its beam saber straight at you, Chrono! "Robert, cover me!"
Nerdorama09 11:36 pm
The Alex's arm lowers, Chris breathing heavily and staring at where the Zeke pilot used to be for a few seconds before snapping her attention back to what's left of the fight.

Wyverncakes 11:37 pm
And in the meantime, one last shot from the Xamel, off in the distance, fires, and throwing of an immense, thick fog!
The Blaze Cannon shot cuts through some of it but... it's gone
GP-02, and both of its nuclear warheads, have escaped

*Conveniently, cutting flight magic still obeys mundane physics - Chrono will stop rising but keep moving forward. Thus, Chrono starts to drop like a rock out of the way of the blade. And bringing S2U for one more shot...!

The Kampher goes down. Bernie gets a brain freeze, blue screen of death, or something of that effect, "M-Mikha---?"
Wyverncakes 11:39 pm
... Yeah, Bernie
Wyverncakes 11:39 pm
Everyone
You know how Garcia wanted someone under him to survive, so he'd have someone to boss around?
Joseph Fischer 11:40 pm
Shoutaro: You hear that?
Wyverncakes 11:40 pm
Well look on the bright side. You're now the most experienced member of the Cyclops Team still alive!
That makes YOU the guy who gets to boss around the newbies!
Alan Bunting 11:40 pm
*...he finds no more Gato to shoot. "Ugh, I can't believe I missed....!" He throws up a halfhearted defense as he fights to stabilize his flight.+
fenrirarma 11:41 pm
Alexei: "Don't worry about it... We'll get him...
Wyverncakes 11:41 pm
Still though, a voice comes in on the other end. It's Robert, the guy manning the Xamel
"... Y-yo... Wiseman. Still alive?"
"We're pulling out. A-and... hey. You did great. You survived, right?"
Saraanne13 11:42 pm
Bernie: Y-yeah
Wyverncakes 11:43 pm
"Good. We got what we came for... don't throw your life away. We got the Gundam now. The Federation'll pay. For this and everything else. You'll see."
So then, White Chalice and Federation people
Wyverncakes 11:44 pm
The city and the base is a wreck, and reports of those killed or wounded is downright staggering... and to top it all off, GP-02 was lost
Guess it's no surprise that this is a case of-
MISSION
FAILED
Mister Giggles (mistergiggl3s) has left the room. 11:45 pm
HyprKnux 1 11:45 pm
The GP-01 stands up, the cockpit opening as a weary Kou steps out. He's... not happy. At all.
Nekomittchi 11:45 pm
Philip: Shoutaro... we need to get to my body. I don't want to de-henshin until we find out its condition.

The Rick Dias goes off towards the base. Sayla's got an idiot brother to check up on...
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:46 pm
Fate breathes heavily as she gets up and starts to try and get back to the Chalice. However, one step feels like a two mile run.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:46 pm
And after that? There's a city full of wounded, now...
Joseph Fischer 11:46 pm
Shoutaro's gonna help Fate along. "Hey now, careful there..."
fenrirarma 11:47 pm
Alexei just starts to boost off. Not much to say, mission over... but god he needed some ibuprofin...
Atrament Corel 11:47 pm
Nanoha's gonna oversee her best friend's walk back too. Even though she's not feeling too hot herself.
Moreover, she's failed to notice some cracks that have formed on Raising Heart.
Joseph Fischer 11:48 pm
He might also be leading Fate towards Nanoha, and try and help both of them, even though he's pretty burnt out himself.
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:48 pm
Fate looks at Nanoha and Shoutaro tiredly and sweating from overexertion and nods, leaning on them for support.
Joseph Fischer 11:49 pm
"Come on... We need to find Philip."
Alan Bunting 11:49 pm
Chrono just makes it back to the scene of the battle as people start to leave; he's looking notable beaten up, and aside from being bloodied and tired, his face is set in a cold rage. Even so, he spares a moment to check on his colleagues. "Fate, Nanoha, you all right?"
Atrament Corel 11:50 pm
Nanoha, as always, tries to seem upbeat. "I'm okay. Just a little tired."
Joseph Fischer 11:50 pm
Shoutaro sighes and dehenshins. "That entire mission was exhausting..."
TenebraeLunaXIII 11:51 pm
Fate is still breathing heavily and rasps out "Need...sleep..."
Joseph Fischer 11:51 pm
*Err, battle to replace mission, sorry*
Nekomittchi 11:51 pm
Philip woke up, surprisingly in one piece, though there was rubble all around him. He caught some movement out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked, it was gone.
Joseph Fischer 11:52 pm
"Philip, you alright?"
Nekomittchi 11:52 pm
Philip shook his head. "No, it couldn't be..." he muttered to himself. "I-I'm fine, Shoutaro." He stood, although he was a bit shakey.
Alan Bunting 11:53 pm
Chrono switches to a thin smile for a moment. "Good. I'm glad you're all right... both of you need to rest as soon as you get back, not that I think you weren't doing that anyway. I know we didn't manage to get our target, but... good work today, you too." Then the smile is gone, replaced with a haunted look as Chrono lifts off to return to the Chalice alone.
Joseph Fischer 11:53 pm
Shou nodded. "Come on. We need to get rested up and help with clean up."
Atrament Corel 11:54 pm
Nanoha seems happy at first, but Chrono's look as he leaves doesn't escape her.
"...Chrono-kun."
Nekomittchi 11:54 pm
"A-aaa..." Philip was sure that it was just the alcohol he'd had earlier, playing tricks on him. He didn't <i>really</i> see what he thought he saw.
