Mission 037: Shadows of the Chalice (part 2)
NightlitEquinox 10:21 pm
*Taking advantage of the diversion Tohya charges the Vorlent. "Calvina! Shoot the bigger one!" He throws a few Glitter Knuckles his way, then he looks down. Time for the big guns! The shoulder bits fly and form in front of the Coustwell. It then forms the normal crystalline face palm... but wait, the ENTIRE unit starts glowing! Charging incredibly fast it seemed to momentarily become a beam of green light as it charges the Vorlent! &

Wyverncakes 10:23 pm
[Tohya] Seeing that Coustwell gearing up for an attack the Vorlent spins around to face it before pulling out its beam cannon. Rather than match its blade with that first it just opens fire on you with abandon!
(Continue: Tohya)
(While we're at it, Calvina, take your turh)

Nerdorama09 10:24 pm
*Calvina would shrug at her orders being ignored if she wasn't busy combining the Orgone Rifle and Shot Launchers into a bow. Pulling a lever on the rifle back like a bowstring, Bellzelute forms a huge crystal arrow of solidified Orgone at the Raftclans while it's busy attacking the Rushbird.
Calvina: "You'
re finished!"
Katia: "Orgone Rifle Arrow, FIRE!"+
NightlitEquinox 10:25 pm
*Tohya darts around in an attempt to evade the beams, and he is at a speed this shouldn't be difficult to do at. Assuming he reaches the target, he seems to almost pass through it as the orgone face palm explodes and the coustwell jumps out from behind it, no longer glowing! +
Festenia "TAKE THAT YOU JERK!"
Aero 10:26 pm
(Do I still get a reaction here?)
Wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(Yeah)
[Calvina] Like the Vorlent before it, the Raftclans switches focus when the Bellzelute turns to face it. And as if knowing what's about to happen it jams its sword into its chest and then begins to fall back. Its own energy blast begins to charge and then fire as the Orgone Arrow does as well. The arrow and the huge-ass beam crash into each other, struggling for dominance as finally the stalemate is broken! The arrow surges through the center of the beam, slamming into the chest of the Raftclans as the remainder of its beam, uninhibited by the arrow, proceeds on to pound into the Bellzelute's extremities, claiming an arm, its head, and both legs!
Nerdorama09 10:29 pm
Calvina: "Damn!"
Wyverncakes 10:29 pm
[Tohya] The Coustwell's speed does indeed serve it well, and the machine skirts around before slamming its giant hand into the Vorlent's head. The explosion blows the machine away without trouble, the upper part of its frame wrecked!
[Calvina cont.] On the bright side, Calvina, the arrow still hits on target, blowing apart the Raftclans's sword/cannon/everything? and leaves it staggering
Nerdorama09 10:30 pm
Katia: "Ah! Multiple system failures! We've got the engine, the flight drive, and the rifle, and that's about it..."
NightlitEquinox 10:31 pm
Tohya "Ichitaka! Finish this!"
Aero 10:31 pm
*Ichitaka: "NO NEED TO TELL ME." Having absorbed as much energy as possible from the pillar the Rushbird takes the opening that Calvina and Tohya gave him he just needed to think of a cool now for this attack. "Now....DIMENSION STORM." The Rushbird slammed both of it's fists together release a huge torrent of energy at all of the remaining units the energy expanding in a huge radius.+
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx-sGizwWpU
Wyverncakes 10:33 pm
[Ichitaka] The massive blast of energy hurtles at the four of them, but before the pilots of the Vorlent and the Raftclans can even try to teleport away again, suddenly something unexpected happens... and there is a small blur of a figure in brown suddenly appearing in front of the machines.
???: "I'm afraid... I cann't allow you to do that."
Aero 10:34 pm
Ichitaka: "Huh..."
Wyverncakes 10:34 pm
The Dimension Storm CRASHES into the figure, only to suddenly be stopped cold, seem to pulse... and then fan out again! Werter, Mark, Ichitaka, Roads... the Dimension Storm's power has been broken apart and then redirected AT YOU!

*It might be damaged, but the J Saviour isn't a high-mobility unit for show. He doesn't know how he got there, but he's booking it WAY the hell away from the storm itself. It's not like the J isn't wrecked already.

???: "I'm sorry, but this was just something I couldn't allow you to do."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:36 pm
*"AWAKEN!" The Zweilicht was quick before, but now it's a golden blur, dashing out of the way with ease. In a flash, Roads has his machine gun back from the ground, and is opening fire on…The artillery units that are still hanging around, actually.+
Tengusaur 10:37 pm
*Werter: "...Just who is this wolfy person now?" He drops his drill and conjures up a green force field to protect against the incoming huge blast. Full force this time.+
Wyverncakes 10:37 pm
"I mean, here I am... suddenly in this world when I find out SOMEONE can stop time in a way I don't know!" She shrugs almost as if this was just a casual topic for conversation
Wyverncakes 10:38 pm
"I can't very well let you destroy those two machines and the mechanisms inside them, now can I?" She wags her finger patronizingly at you all before looking over at the Coustwell and the Bellzelute.
NightlitEquinox 10:38 pm
*Realizing that the Rushbird is incredible danger, he has Coustwell do the only thing he can think of. He charges and pushes it out of the way. Hopefully he can get out of the way as well, but if not he summons another orgone facepalm (since he never disconnected the bits) and puts it between Coustweel and the blast, in hopes of at least blunting the assault. +
Wyverncakes 10:38 pm
"And you two as well... your machines have a unique feature that can undo the act of freezing time..."

Ichitaka: "TOHYA WHAT ARE YOU DOING."
Overman Zappa 10:39 pm
Mark: "They're just kids. Maybe you should cut back on the name-drops?"
Nerdorama09 10:39 pm
Calvina: "Are you saying they're related?" She asks this as she carefully guides Bellzelute somewhere safer than the middle of the air, perhaps that nice copse of tree cover down there.
Wyverncakes 10:40 pm
[Werter, Mark, Ichitaka, Roads] The J-Saviour's speed is indeed impressive. Enough to just barely avoid the Dimension Storm blast. Werter... well, you're not so lucky. The Rushbird really had pulled out all the stops for that attack, and the blast that pounds into your barrier blows Prometheus off his feet anyways from the power of it! Holy fuck that's potent!
NightlitEquinox 10:40 pm
Tohya "Whatyou would do for me if our positions were reversed."
Tengusaur 10:41 pm
Werter: "Ow... On the bright side, this attack will be really potent against enemies who can't deflect it..."
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
[Roads] The Zweilicht's barely-functioning body can only hold out that kind of power for a few more moments before the stress gets to it, but it does scoop up its gun and fires. The Dona Ryunpee is caught totally off-guard, pounded by the supercharged shots before the gun finally runs out of ammo, the Zweilicht collapsing again as its legs just pretty much fall off
Aero 10:42 pm
Ichitaka: "Sorry Werter..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:42 pm
"Man, what rotten luck…"
Wyverncakes 10:43 pm
[Ichitaka/Tohya] The blast is fast... faster than you would have hoped, Tohya! The hand still gets thrown up to block the shot, but the Dimension Storm energy crashes into it, peeling away its fingers one by one before your hand is exposed to the shot, right before it's blown apart! The Coustwell's knocked away... still intact but now down one arm AND the bits!
NightlitEquinox 10:43 pm
Tohya "Could have been worse."
Tohya "Ichitaka, are you okay?"
Wyverncakes 10:44 pm
???: "I am quite certain... something that functions with something else usually is, after all..."
She does seem slightly interested in the fact that the Coustwell took a hit for the Rushbird though...
Aero 10:44 pm
Ichitaka: "Yeah I'm fine...thanks..."
Ichitaka: "This person has to be a combat android...or something."
Wyverncakes 10:44 pm
The woman then clasps her hands together. "Oh where are my manners!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:45 pm
"A fine question..."
Wyverncakes 10:45 pm
And at once, a gigantic megalodon suddenly shoots up... right out of the lake in the atoll! HOLY FUCK HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!
NightlitEquinox 10:45 pm
Tohya "Possible." He seems pretty cool all things considered.
Aero 10:45 pm

The shark seems to look around for a target, before suddenly deciding to lunge at one of the transports still in the air!

And in a manner similar to the woman's appearance, a man in a strange outfit shows up, standing atop the transport that's about to be chomped.

The woman seems to squint, seeing the man and whistles. "Oh, dear Azrad's shown up too? That's so-" She suddenly looks behind her, seeing the Vorlent slash at her with its sword. She quickly darts away, seeming unshaken by it
"Oh yes... you still have some fight in you."
Atrament Corel 10:50 pm
*The man raises a hand against the incoming Megalodon as a small group of 7 swords form around him, then spin briefly before heading straight towards the giant shark.+
Wyverncakes 10:52 pm
[Azrad] The swords hurtle at the shark, and the creature still seems unshaken as it opens its mouth wide to swallow the transport whole... only for it to, scant milliseconds later, fall apart and cover a good chunk of the island in finely-minced shark meat!

The "woman", Rovdy, just grins. "Oh, but this is her body, isn't it? You don't respect it enough to call me by that name?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:54 pm
(Roads makes a slight gesture to the remaining artillery units to this effect)
Wyverncakes 10:55 pm
"At any rate..." Rovdy snaps his (yes, HIS) fingers... as suddenly a quintet of pteranadons shoot down at from sky. "I suppose I still came here for a reason." The pteranadons swoop down, finally picking a target before going after Prometheus. They're bigger than they should be, and they kinda LOOK threatening...

Mark swerves the J into the transport, digs about, and positions himself out an open entrance of the transport. "You heard him! Head straight for the chalice!" In his hand; a double barreled gatling gun. "This thing better work!"
Aero 10:57 pm
Ichitaka: "That's fine by me..."
Overman Zappa 10:57 pm
*The J Saviour hangs out the transport, and opens fire, spewing 330 rounds a minute from the twin gatling, spreading the fire over as many Pteranodon's he can cover!+
Tengusaur 10:57 pm
*Werter: "Technically, pteranodons are not real dinosaurs." He lets the creatures swoop at him, because he's going to dash and jump out of their way at the moment when it's too hard for them to change direction! And he's going to grab the lance on the way, too.+
Aero 10:58 pm
Ichitaka: "Now is not the time to nitpick that Werter."
NightlitEquinox 10:58 pm
Festenia "Less nitpick, more face stomping!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:58 pm
"What the lady said."
Tengusaur 10:59 pm
*And then it's time to counterattack! The first dinosaur (hypocrisy intended) to swoop after Werter grabs the drill lance will find Prometheus shoving a handful of volatile plasma into its beak! And then drilling right at it!+
Wyverncakes 10:59 pm
[Mark] The pteranodons break rank as the gatling gun fire spews out, one of them not being so lucky... but the other four still hurtle at Prometheus, and one of them suddenly manages to bite down, HARD, on Prometheus's arm at the elbow. There's a horrible crunching noise... right before it suddenly bites completely through!
[Werter] And yeah, small victory, really! That pteranadon promptly gets stabbed into the ground and cleanly killed.
Obviously these things may be stronger than you'd expect, but all that means is they're glass cannons!

Werter: "I'd like to say that we could try retreating with the transports and letting all the enemies fight between themselves... But something tells me the swordmage won't agree to this plan."
NightlitEquinox 11:10 pm
*And with that the Coustwell throws some glitter knuckles at the heavily damaged Dona Ryunpee. His goal to cut off it's escape so he can charge it leg first, Festenia uses the one remaining blade to try and cleave it in such a way that she holds it in place. &
Wyverncakes 11:11 pm
[Azrad] It's a sinister man outside of a robot against the mighty Azrad=Aeon... a match up that, on paper, couldn't BE more unbalanced. But battles with magic don't give a flying fuck about logic... and Rovdy slips through slash after slash before suddenly shooting upwards, delivering a spinning uppercut straight out of a Capcom fighting game and knocking Aeon away like it was nothing!

[Calvina] As damaged as the Coustwell may be, as damaged as its targeting systems may be... Calvina, you *are* the White Lynx. The shot flies true, pounding into the chest of the Dona Ryunpee and blowing out the cockpit, the craft subsequently falling down to the ground.

This probably looks completely idiotic (Which it is) but Roads does it anyways. Next, though…he fires off the rocket anchors at the Dona, to latch on and reel himself in. With occasional boosts from the thrusters it should get him close enough to actually use that bunker of his…+
Wyverncakes 11:20 pm
[Tohya] The Vorlent's pilot obviously thinks things to be just as serious! But, considering that there's nobody inside of that Ryunpee any more the machine begins to fire, seemingly haphazardly at first in an attempt to ward off the Coustwell. What's this guy trying to do? This trick failed once before!

Wyverncakes 11:21 pm
[Ichitaka] The pteranadon is caught off-guard as the Rushbird grabs at it, but it tries to struggle nevertheless its arms and legs cutting and scraping through the Rushbird's armor before there's a very decisive snapping noise, the creature gasping out before slumping dead.
[Roads] Good news: the rocket anchor stabs into the remaining Dona Ryunpee! BAD NEWS: it can line up a perfect shot to blow your parapalegic ass apart with its artillery gun!
(React: Roads)
NightlitEquinox 11:23 pm
*Tohya realizes this trick failed once and decides to spin around and suddenly stop, throwing the empty unit direactly at it at incredible speed. Darting around in a broad angle he follows up by throwing glitter knuckles with his remaining hand. +
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:26 pm
*Roads HAS a shield now, so he'll get that in the path of the shot. A slight side boost doesn't hurt, either-and with the sudden lack of legs on the Zweilicht, it moves more nimbly than it would otherwise in mid-air.+
Wyverncakes 11:26 pm
[Tohya] AH HA! Just as you dart away, the Vorlent fires another high-power beam rifle shot, blowing out the captured Dona Ryunpee in one shot. But the flurry of glitter knuckles still hammer it, and the machine is quick to begin to fall back in retreat finally!
Wyverncakes 11:28 pm
[Roads] The side-dodge is just enough. BARELY ENOUGH! The Zweilicht is finally reeled in nice and close to the Ryunpee, and its bunker slams into the machine, blowing it apart!

(Not any Orgone-based one, no. There's some stray artillery cannons from the Dona Ryunpees though)
Nerdorama09 11:37 pm
*Calvina, unable to use more than two attacks, aims directly for the wizard and fires off an Orgone Rifle Beam shot at him(?)! At her command, the Bellzelute then boosts into the air rapidly, firing more beams at it from different angles!+
NightlitEquinox 11:37 pm

*Wisdom being the better part of valor, Roads gets his currently quite disabled machine to grab the remains of the Dona Ryunpee and toss it in front of him. From there, commence ducking behind the shield, turning off the comm, and praying profusely.+
NightlitEquinox 11:40 pm
*Tohya darts back and grabs an artillery cannon. Charging towards the Wizard's unit he fires it! Using the feet of the Coustwell he throws a few glittery foot shaped crystal blasts as well! Before throwing the cannon at him, if it has an overload option? He uses it, all the better to blow that asshole up! +
Atrament Corel 11:40 pm
*"Spell Helix!" Azrad=Aeon's wings spread as a large gunstaff is formed in its hands. An orb of fire shows up for a brief moment before being launched as a massive beam in Rovdy's direction. Hopefully, it would negate the magma as well.+
Overman Zappa 11:43 pm
*Lacking a shield, or... any kinds of defence, all he can pray for is that laying into the spout of magma with a volley of gattling fire might spread it out. At the least, he's got to protect the transport, if he's gotta give up the J Saviour to do it+
Wyverncakes 11:45 pm
[Everyone not named Calvina or Tohya] Between your various evasive actions, the lot of you manage to escape serious harm... especially due to Azrad's intervention, which cut the magma flow down to little more as a trickle before pounding into Rovdy...
[Calvina and Tohya] In perfect time with your attacks too! Various beams and shots get deflected away at odd angles, but not the same way the Dimension Storm was previously... and when the onslaught finally ends, Rovdy is still standing there... acting unshaken but at the same time with an appearance that doesn't match it!
Wyverncakes 11:47 pm
Clothes in tatter, and with a somewhat bloody body, Rovdy doesn't seem to be acting too upset, but he's still almost pouting, really...

*Taking advantage of the diversion Tohya charges the Vorlent. "Calvina! Shoot the bigger one!" He throws a few Glitter Knuckles his way, then he looks down. Time for the big guns! The shoulder bits fly and form in front of the Coustwell. It then forms the normal crystalline face palm... but wait, the ENTIRE unit starts glowing! Charging incredibly fast it seemed to momentarily become a beam of green light as it charges the Vorlent! &

[Tohya] Seeing that Coustwell gearing up for an attack the Vorlent spins around to face it before pulling out its beam cannon. Rather than match its blade with that first it just opens fire on you with abandon!

Nerdorama09 10:24 pm
*Calvina would shrug at her orders being ignored if she wasn't busy combining the Orgone Rifle and Shot Launchers into a bow. Pulling a lever on the rifle back like a bowstring, Bellzelute forms a huge crystal arrow of solidified Orgone at the Raftclans while it's busy attacking the Rushbird.
Calvina: "You'
re finished!"
Katia: "Orgone Rifle Arrow, FIRE!"+
NightlitEquinox 10:25 pm
*Tohya darts around in an attempt to evade the beams, and he is at a speed this shouldn't be difficult to do at. Assuming he reaches the target, he seems to almost pass through it as the orgone face palm explodes and the coustwell jumps out from behind it, no longer glowing! +
Festenia "TAKE THAT YOU JERK!"
Aero 10:26 pm
(Do I still get a reaction here?)
Wyverncakes 10:26 pm
(Yeah)
[Calvina] Like the Vorlent before it, the Raftclans switches focus when the Bellzelute turns to face it. And as if knowing what's about to happen it jams its sword into its chest and then begins to fall back. Its own energy blast begins to charge and then fire as the Orgone Arrow does as well. The arrow and the huge-ass beam crash into each other, struggling for dominance as finally the stalemate is broken! The arrow surges through the center of the beam, slamming into the chest of the Raftclans as the remainder of its beam, uninhibited by the arrow, proceeds on to pound into the Bellzelute's extremities, claiming an arm, its head, and both legs!
Nerdorama09 10:29 pm
Calvina: "Damn!"
Wyverncakes 10:29 pm
[Tohya] The Coustwell's speed does indeed serve it well, and the machine skirts around before slamming its giant hand into the Vorlent's head. The explosion blows the machine away without trouble, the upper part of its frame wrecked!
[Calvina cont.] On the bright side, Calvina, the arrow still hits on target, blowing apart the Raftclans's sword/cannon/everything? and leaves it staggering
Nerdorama09 10:30 pm
Katia: "Ah! Multiple system failures! We've got the engine, the flight drive, and the rifle, and that's about it..."

*Ichitaka: "NO NEED TO TELL ME." Having absorbed as much energy as possible from the pillar the Rushbird takes the opening that Calvina and Tohya gave him he just needed to think of a cool now for this attack. "Now....DIMENSION STORM." The Rushbird slammed both of it's fists together release a huge torrent of energy at all of the remaining units the energy expanding in a huge radius.+

Wyverncakes 10:33 pm
[Ichitaka] The massive blast of energy hurtles at the four of them, but before the pilots of the Vorlent and the Raftclans can even try to teleport away again, suddenly something unexpected happens... and there is a small blur of a figure in brown suddenly appearing in front of the machines.

*Werter: "...Just who is this wolfy person now?" He drops his drill and conjures up a green force field to protect against the incoming huge blast. Full force this time.+

NightlitEquinox 10:38 pm
*Realizing that the Rushbird is incredible danger, he has Coustwell do the only thing he can think of. He charges and pushes it out of the way. Hopefully he can get out of the way as well, but if not he summons another orgone facepalm (since he never disconnected the bits) and puts it between Coustweel and the blast, in hopes of at least blunting the assault. +

Wyverncakes 10:40 pm
[Werter, Mark, Ichitaka, Roads] The J-Saviour's speed is indeed impressive. Enough to just barely avoid the Dimension Storm blast. Werter... well, you're not so lucky. The Rushbird really had pulled out all the stops for that attack, and the blast that pounds into your barrier blows Prometheus off his feet anyways from the power of it! Holy fuck that's potent!

Tengusaur 10:41 pm
Werter: "Ow... On the bright side, this attack will be really potent against enemies who can't deflect it..."
Wyverncakes 10:41 pm
[Roads] The Zweilicht's barely-functioning body can only hold out that kind of power for a few more moments before the stress gets to it, but it does scoop up its gun and fires. The Dona Ryunpee is caught totally off-guard, pounded by the supercharged shots before the gun finally runs out of ammo, the Zweilicht collapsing again as its legs just pretty much fall off

Ichitaka: "Sorry Werter..."

Wyverncakes 10:43 pm
[Ichitaka/Tohya] The blast is fast... faster than you would have hoped, Tohya! The hand still gets thrown up to block the shot, but the Dimension Storm energy crashes into it, peeling away its fingers one by one before your hand is exposed to the shot, right before it's blown apart! The Coustwell's knocked away... still intact but now down one arm AND the bits!
NightlitEquinox 10:43 pm
Tohya "Could have been worse."
Tohya "Ichitaka, are you okay?"

[Mark] The pteranodons break rank as the gatling gun fire spews out, one of them not being so lucky... but the other four still hurtle at Prometheus, and one of them suddenly manages to bite down, HARD, on Prometheus's arm at the elbow. There's a horrible crunching noise... right before it suddenly bites completely through!

Calvina: "Katia. We're going to stay down here and snipe. Be ready with emergency boosters the second you even think there's an attack incoming.
NightlitEquinox 11:13 pm
(Can I continue as well?)
Wyverncakes 11:13 pm
(Yeah)
Atrament Corel 11:14 pm
And right about now, Azrad's lovely and concerned grimoire is telling him to be careful. Doesn't look like he'll be listening anytime soon though...
Nerdorama09 11:14 pm
* With that, Calvina levels the damaged Orgone Rifle at Tohya's target, aiming precisely for where she estimates the cockpit to be. She squeezes off a single solid-round shot.+
Wyverncakes 11:15 pm
[Calvina] As damaged as the Coustwell may be, as damaged as its targeting systems may be... Calvina, you *are* the White Lynx. The shot flies true, pounding into the chest of the Dona Ryunpee and blowing out the cockpit, the craft subsequently falling down to the ground.

NightlitEquinox 11:17 pm
*Tohya catches the unit if he can before it hits the ground. And rather than using his crystal facepalm again, he proceeds to glow and hold the damaged unit in front of him... and charge the Vorlent again at incredible speed. It may not be an orgone face palm, but he figures smashing a mecha into it will be almost as good. +
Aero 11:18 pm
*Shaking off the total confusion he had at the moment Ichitaka went after one of the Pterandodons trying to get his arms around the neck of the "DINOSAUR."+
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:19 pm
*Remember that parts ejection system the Zweilicht has? Well, it's meant for this sort of thing. Pop goes the Zweilicht's useless legs and they're off on the ground. This probably looks completely idiotic (Which it is) but Roads does it anyways. Next, though…he fires off the rocket anchors at the Dona, to latch on and reel himself in. With occasional boosts from the thrusters it should get him close enough to actually use that bunker of his…+
Wyverncakes 11:20 pm
[Tohya] The Vorlent's pilot obviously thinks things to be just as serious! But, considering that there's nobody inside of that Ryunpee any more the machine begins to fire, seemingly haphazardly at first in an attempt to ward off the Coustwell. What's this guy trying to do? This trick failed once before!
(React: Tohya)
Wyverncakes 11:21 pm
[Ichitaka] The pteranadon is caught off-guard as the Rushbird grabs at it, but it tries to struggle nevertheless its arms and legs cutting and scraping through the Rushbird's armor before there's a very decisive snapping noise, the creature gasping out before slumping dead.
[Roads] Good news: the rocket anchor stabs into the remaining Dona Ryunpee! BAD NEWS: it can line up a perfect shot to blow your parapalegic ass apart with its artillery gun!
(React: Roads)
NightlitEquinox 11:23 pm
*Tohya realizes this trick failed once and decides to spin around and suddenly stop, throwing the empty unit direactly at it at incredible speed. Darting around in a broad angle he follows up by throwing glitter knuckles with his remaining hand. +
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:26 pm
*Roads HAS a shield now, so he'll get that in the path of the shot. A slight side boost doesn't hurt, either-and with the sudden lack of legs on the Zweilicht, it moves more nimbly than it would otherwise in mid-air.+
Wyverncakes 11:26 pm
[Tohya] AH HA! Just as you dart away, the Vorlent fires another high-power beam rifle shot, blowing out the captured Dona Ryunpee in one shot. But the flurry of glitter knuckles still hammer it, and the machine is quick to begin to fall back in retreat finally!
Wyverncakes 11:28 pm
[Roads] The side-dodge is just enough. BARELY ENOUGH! The Zweilicht is finally reeled in nice and close to the Ryunpee, and its bunker slams into the machine, blowing it apart!
NightlitEquinox 11:30 pm
Tohya "One left. But it's the strongest one I think."
Aero 11:30 pm
Ichitaka: "Least we broke it's sword..."
Wyverncakes 11:30 pm
With all save one of his wingmen dead and that last one in open retreat, the damaged Raftclans can still take the memo... and it breaks off as well at rapid speed though
Wyverncakes 11:30 pm
Imagine jinxing that, huh?
Tengusaur 11:31 pm
Werter: "Well, can't say I wouldn't have done the same in his place..."
NightlitEquinox 11:31 pm
Tohya "Nevermind."
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm
Rovdy can only sigh in annoyance though. "Oh that's unfortunate... keys are useless without the locks they go to..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:31 pm
"Aaaand that just leaves the wizard and her pet lizards. Huh, that rhymes…"
"…Keys…?"
Wyverncakes 11:31 pm
He then turns to you all, inspecting your handiwork before snorting.
"It was a metaphor. I'd understand if you couldn't quite grasp it."
And with that and a flick of his hands, Rovdy seems to let loose a stream of... rubies?
NightlitEquinox 11:32 pm
Tohya "Our units right?"
Wyverncakes 11:32 pm
... But suddenly the rubies burst open, letting loose a stream of magma at all of you save for the Coustwell and Bellzelute.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:32 pm
"I think she meant that grey unit…"
Wyverncakes 11:32 pm
"AH! Someone WAS able to understand it!"

Katia: "This person's kind of annoying..."
NightlitEquinox 11:33 pm
Festenia "He seems distracted. Lets hit him Katia!"
Tohya "Uh... I'm not sure that's such a good idea."
Atrament Corel 11:34 pm
(Nevermind, it's for everyone.)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:34 pm
(Well at least try to cover Roads...)
Nerdorama09 11:34 pm
Katia: "Sounds good to me...."
NightlitEquinox 11:34 pm
Tohya sighs, seems like he's out voted.
Tengusaur 11:34 pm
*Magma, huh? Werter counters it with its opposite! Prometheus cartwheels back on one hand, and jumps far away into the sea!+
NightlitEquinox 11:34 pm
@ Everyone
Nerdorama09 11:34 pm
Calvina: "He wants our units in one piece. Hopefully he'll hesitate from counterattacking."
NightlitEquinox 11:35 pm
Tohya "Okay there is that."
Nerdorama09 11:35 pm
@ everyone as well, if possible
Wyverncakes 11:35 pm
(Proceed you two)
NightlitEquinox 11:36 pm
(Is there an Orgone weapon dropped from a damaged unit around?)
Aero 11:36 pm
Ichitaka: "Tch..." The Rushbird fires off the Light Blazer to try to stall the magma while thrusting back to escape.+
Wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(Not any Orgone-based one, no. There's some stray artillery cannons from the Dona Ryunpees though)
Nerdorama09 11:37 pm
*Calvina, unable to use more than two attacks, aims directly for the wizard and fires off an Orgone Rifle Beam shot at him(?)! At her command, the Bellzelute then boosts into the air rapidly, firing more beams at it from different angles!+
NightlitEquinox 11:37 pm
(Good enough.)
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:38 pm
*Wisdom being the better part of valor, Roads gets his currently quite disabled machine to grab the remains of the Dona Ryunpee and toss it in front of him. From there, commence ducking behind the shield, turning off the comm, and praying profusely.+
NightlitEquinox 11:40 pm
*Tohya darts back and grabs an artillery cannon. Charging towards the Wizard's unit he fires it! Using the feet of the Coustwell he throws a few glittery foot shaped crystal blasts as well! Before throwing the cannon at him, if it has an overload option? He uses it, all the better to blow that asshole up! +
Atrament Corel 11:40 pm
*"Spell Helix!" Azrad=Aeon's wings spread as a large gunstaff is formed in its hands. An orb of fire shows up for a brief moment before being launched as a massive beam in Rovdy's direction. Hopefully, it would negate the magma as well.+
Overman Zappa 11:43 pm
*Lacking a shield, or... any kinds of defence, all he can pray for is that laying into the spout of magma with a volley of gattling fire might spread it out. At the least, he's got to protect the transport, if he's gotta give up the J Saviour to do it+
Wyverncakes 11:45 pm
[Everyone not named Calvina or Tohya] Between your various evasive actions, the lot of you manage to escape serious harm... especially due to Azrad's intervention, which cut the magma flow down to little more as a trickle before pounding into Rovdy...
[Calvina and Tohya] In perfect time with your attacks too! Various beams and shots get deflected away at odd angles, but not the same way the Dimension Storm was previously... and when the onslaught finally ends, Rovdy is still standing there... acting unshaken but at the same time with an appearance that doesn't match it!
Wyverncakes 11:47 pm
Clothes in tatter, and with a somewhat bloody body, Rovdy doesn't seem to be acting too upset, but he's still almost pouting, really...
Aero 11:48 pm
Ichitaka: "That's ridiculous..."
NightlitEquinox 11:48 pm
Tohya "I can't say I'm that surprised."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:48 pm
"Yes, I think that has been thoroughly established by now..."
Wyverncakes 11:48 pm
"And here I thought I could have survived that unharmed..." And then he laughs... only to immeditely spew up blood. "But then again, maybe the lack of logic in battles goes the same way, doesn't it?"
Atrament Corel 11:49 pm
"Rovdy...you won't escape!"
Wyverncakes 11:49 pm
"At any rate, I suppose I must be going... what with half of my targets gone I've lost half my reason to be here. You round that down and I have no reasons at all, in fact!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:49 pm
"Can't argue with that math."
Overman Zappa 11:50 pm
Mark sighs in relief... the transport made it out of that one... Sheesh...
Wyverncakes 11:50 pm
Rovdy doesn't appear to be paying Azrad much attention as one of the remaining pteranadons shoots by, and he grabs ahold of one of its claws as it takes him away.
Aero 11:50 pm
"Roads don't agree with the woman."
Wyverncakes 11:50 pm
"And just think, Azrad! All of these people got to see your dear wife's booooddddyyy!!!!!!!!!!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:50 pm
"Kid, I-wat."
Atrament Corel 11:50 pm
"ROVDY!!!!!!!"
Aero 11:51 pm
"What does that mean?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:51 pm
(Roads proceeds to sit there uncomfortably)
NightlitEquinox 11:51 pm
Tohya "A case of body takover perhaps? Something imilar to assimilation?"
Wyverncakes 11:51 pm
And soon enough Rovdy is gone, leaving you all stuck on the atoll.
Aero 11:51 pm
Ichitaka: "That's just wrong."
Wyverncakes 11:51 pm
But hey!
Atrament Corel 11:51 pm
Azrad tries his best to pursue, but after spending so much magic on firing the Spell Helix, his Deus Machina wasn't going to stay materialized for long...
Wyverncakes 11:51 pm
Dead shark and lots of supplies!
Aero 11:52 pm
"Hey Blade Wizard are you alright?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:52 pm
"She called him Azrad, I think."
Atrament Corel 11:53 pm
A quick nod in response. "Aa."
Overman Zappa 11:53 pm
Mark: "Dead wife's body... just... what... Did I miss something?
Nerdorama09 11:54 pm
Calvina: "I think explanations can probably wait until we get repairs. Mr. Azrad, if that's your name, you can feel free to come along with us if you're in need of anything."
NightlitEquinox 11:54 pm
Tohya "...Calvina I think we have a problem."
Nerdorama09 11:54 pm
Calvina: (Just who WERE those people. Are they really the ones...?)
Calvina: "Hm?"
NightlitEquinox 11:55 pm
Tohya "Those units."
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:55 pm
"…Calvina…Now where have I heard that before…"
NightlitEquinox 11:55 pm
Tohya "The ones with that time stop thing."
Atrament Corel 11:55 pm
The weakened Azrad is about to respond, but all of a sudden, the machine just disappears into thin air, and he falls out of the sky.
Aero 11:55 pm
Ichitaka: "It is our standard recruitment procedure."
NightlitEquinox 11:56 pm
Tohya sighs, "I guess there isn't much point in trying to think about it more. Just be prepared for them to return."
Overman Zappa 11:57 pm
Mark: "Well guys, at least the supplies are fine, all trouble and magic aside. I'm sure youre pretty desperate for this, aren't ya?
Tengusaur 11:57 pm
Prometheus emerges from the sea like angry Poseidon.
Werter: "How much did I miss?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:57 pm
"Make a habit of this, do you..."
Nerdorama09 11:57 pm
Calvina is too busy doing a carefully controlled dive to catch Azrad in her mech's functioning hand to comment further.
NightlitEquinox 11:57 pm
Tohya heads back to the White Chalice. He has a lot of food for thought.
arachnion01@gmail.com 11:58 pm
"Yo, Ichitaka? You still functional enough to get back to the ship? I'll need to grab some salvage equipment…"
Aero 11:59 pm
"Yeah...I only took some shoulder damage. I'll help out."
Doc S (Shaun Garin) has left the room. 11:59 pm
Atrament Corel 11:59 pm
Calvina will see that Azrad is completely unconscious...he's bleeding from the mouth but otherwise alive.
Nerdorama09 12:00 am
Katia: "I think he's definitely in need of something...
Calvina: "Let's get everyone and the supplies back to the Chalice."
