Mission 045: The War in the Pocket (part 2)
(11:16:23 PM): Robert: "But who cares? These guys killed your friends... my friends too! And if you're the only one I need to worry about... just try to get to cover!"
wyverncakes 11:17 pm
(11:17:37 PM): [Everyone sans Rosie] At once, there almost seems to be a glinting figure up on the top of a dune at the opposite end of the base... just as the might Xamel unleashes another blast to tear into the battlefield, aiming for pretty much everyone!
(11:17:50 PM): (React: Everyone not named Bernie or Rosie)
(11:18:26 PM): [Technica] Blammo! The entire midsection of the Dreissan is blown away... but now you got artillery to worry about!
Atrament Corel 11:18 pm
(11:18:54 PM): With the Straybird's mobility limited, there wasn't much Yuunagi could do...or maybe there was?
HyprKnux 1 11:18 pm
(11:18:58 PM): *"What in the...?!" Forget the Dreissen for the moment! He needs to survive! Kou pushes away once more, attempting to avoid the artillery.+
NightlitEquinox 11:19 pm
(11:19:17 PM): *David rolls the tank behind the sand dune he's on for cover and uh... hopes the armor holds. If there is anything he can shoot with point defense CIWS he does... but that's really a last resort. +
Nerdorama09 11:19 pm
(11:19:58 PM): Chris lets the Alex's freakish reaction speed work for her as she ducks the Gundam away from the artillery shells and, if necessary, into a building+
wyverncakes 11:20 pm
(11:20:24 PM): [Rosie] While all of this is going on though, the Dolmel is able to rise up up again, and you can sense some degree of frustration from the pilot inside as the 151-E stands up as well. "Christ... you took that thing? Well, no matter. It's just another chance to beat the shit out of you!" Energy blades shoot out of the Dolmel's legs as well and it charges, swining a hand down and kicking, sending a pair of beam sabers straight at you!
(11:20:26 PM): (React: Rosie)
Overman Zappa 11:20 pm
(11:20:33 PM): *Technica plows through the remains of his opponent, grabbing what he can of his arm along the way. At least for now, he's making a slide into one of the garages+
Atrament Corel 11:20 pm
(11:20:33 PM): *And in that instant, Yuunagi, inspired by something he saw during a battle against a certain Adventus General, summons a clone...of the Straybird's destroyed wing? He's never tried it out before, but he pushes the throttle and attempts to evade the artillery barrage.+
Overman Zappa 11:20 pm
(11:20:43 PM): (slide foot first, not head first)
wyverncakes 11:22 pm
(11:22:47 PM): [David] The Tank's mobility is... kinda crap. Thankfully you're on the very outskirts of the battle, but as you fall back a few bits of shrapnel fall down, crashing through non-essential parts of the tank as warning lights begin to come on.
lichifruit 11:23 pm
(11:23:26 PM): "Ghh... Bandits take what anything they want, bitch--"
(11:23:45 PM): *And then something happened as the system truly started up. She felt...
wyverncakes 11:23 pm
(11:23:46 PM): [Technica and Chris] You both manage to get inside one of the garages, shots nipping at your heels the whole way... but you manage to get inside. There's already sounds of the ceilingstart to give way but you're fine for the moment!
NightlitEquinox 11:24 pm
(11:24:09 PM): David isn't surprised, it's pretty much what he expected. He needed to get some sort of Mobile Suit or something. Of course that meant learning to pilot.
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:23 PM): She felt like her empathic senses were sharpened. Her eyes went wide as if people were roaring and screaming and crying into her ears.
wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:23 PM): [Kou] You and the Dreissan break away from each other, both of you having a very clear idea of what's the top priority right now... but that Dreissen's not taking its eyes off of you
Overman Zappa 11:24 pm
(11:24:29 PM): (GARAGE CHECK!)
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:31 PM): And she knew that feeling from the man too well. He was attacking.
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:49 PM): *She didn't know what was coming because of the tarp, and without even handling the controls...
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:12 PM): [Yuunagi] Well, the wing can't really help with thrust and it's not the same as an imitation of a limb he'd normally use... but the Straybird does still push itself forward all the same, getting scarred by a few more chance shots but otherwise staying intact!
lichifruit 11:25 pm
(11:25:14 PM): *... the prone mech _rolled_ to the side.+
(11:25:20 PM): "H-huh!?"
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:54 PM): [Rosie] The attacks just barely miss... thank God, and the pilot's a bit pissed about that, actually!
(11:26:39 PM): (Chanigng lineup to better reflect the situation)
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:02 PM): (Bernie, Chris, Technica, David, Yuunagi, Kou, Rosie)
(11:28:06 PM): Technica! Chris! You're currently in a differentgarage than Rosie and the Dolmel... it's dark and the lights aren't currently on... frankly, anyone else could be in here just waiting to strike. And in fact...
(11:28:08 PM): (Bernie)
Saraanne13 11:29 pm
(11:29:41 PM): Robert's shot changed the situation, forcing the gundam and another unit inside one of the hanger. Bernie takes advantage of the situation and his Zaku II charges in. Cause of the darkness, Bernie unloads his machine gun again+
wyverncakes 11:30 pm
(11:30:10 PM): [Technica and Chris] Oh shit! That Zaku's charging in and he means business!
(11:30:17 PM): (React: Both of you. After that take your turn)
(11:30:58 PM): (And while we wait on that front: David and Yuunagi, you can take your turn now too)
Nerdorama09 11:31 pm
(11:31:02 PM): * With no room to dodge in here, Chris relies on her shield again, trying to cover both herself and Technica (end react)+
Overman Zappa 11:31 pm
(11:31:04 PM): *Using the combustion of the gun to track the enemy, Technica returns fire with his gun, rolling off to the right after a few shots. Roll, shoot, roll shoot (rinse and repeat)+
wyverncakes 11:32 pm
(11:32:21 PM): [People in Garage A] The machinegun fire for the most part does get blocked by Alex's shield... but a few stray shots do zoom behind both of you, and a small but audible explosion can be heard... sounds like Bernie's hit a fuel tank or something...
(11:32:27 PM): (Bernie: React to getting shot at)
Nerdorama09 11:32 pm
(11:32:37 PM): * Regardless of her success, she fires off a burst from her functional gatling gun to try and force the Zaku out of the building again, charging forward to shoulder-check it if she has to.+
Atrament Corel 11:33 pm
(11:33:33 PM): (Just checking, is that Gelgoog still there?)
wyverncakes 11:33 pm
(11:33:44 PM): (Yeah. Still one Gelgoog left)
(11:33:48 PM): (Enemy headcount:)
(11:33:58 PM): (Red: Dolmel, damaged Gelgoog, and Dreissan)
(11:34:06 PM): (Yellow: Bernie's Zaku and Robert's Xamel)
mistergiggl3s has left the room. 11:34 pm
Atrament Corel 11:34 pm
(11:34:24 PM): (Okay thanks.)
wyverncakes 11:34 pm
(11:34:47 PM): (Add that to what you're reacting to Bernie: chaingun shots like what killed Mikhail and then the shoulder charge)
Saraanne13 11:36 pm
(11:36:55 PM): It's not of body length, but the Zaku II had a shield of its own. Bernie saw the explosion and reacted with a little panic. His Zaku II crosses its one arm over to move its shield forward. Bernie sees something approach...
Atrament Corel 11:37 pm
(11:37:04 PM): *As much as Yuunagi wanted to go after whatever launched that artillery barrage, the Gelgoog still presented a threat, so he's going to try to remove it first. The Straybird summons two more clones of itself that attempt to flood the Gelgoog's vision with Crow Machinegun shots.&
Saraanne13 11:37 pm
(11:37:17 PM): and the Zaku II takes out its Heat Hawk to brandish it, "Uwaaa!"+
macprysm has left the room. 11:38 pm
wyverncakes 11:39 pm
(11:39:09 PM): [Chris and Bernie] The combined assault still chews through the Zaku's shield, and the machine is knocked back as systems inside of the machine begin to break or short out... but you still press on! Chris, your charge is met with a heat hawk that smashes into the Alex's shoulder, steadily and surely cutting through it!
Overman Zappa 11:40 pm
(11:40:12 PM): *With the Zaku occupied, Technica takes a cheap shot at it, closing in at it's side and aiming to blow away the head unit. Like a boss+
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:08 PM): [Yuunagi] The damage to the Straybird's wings makes the clones seem... vague, somewhat shakey and not at all consistent, but they still fire all the same as the Gelgoog is forced to fall back again, all while firing away in the hopes of taking it down!
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:16 PM): (Continue: Yuunag)
(11:41:52 PM): (How is Technica attacking the Zaku's head?)
Overman Zappa 11:42 pm
(11:42:15 PM): (shooting)
wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:18 PM): (Alright)
(11:42:41 PM): [Bernie] Bernie, you're well on your way to de-limbing the Alex, but that other machine's firing a shot at your Zaku's head! Are you going to break off this chance to take down the Gundam that took the lives of your comrades?
Atrament Corel 11:44 pm
(11:44:24 PM): *The clones do their job though, and Yuunagi uses the enemy's movement to his advantage, circle strafing around to attempt to flank the Gelgoog from the side. He fires two more Prava Grenade shots.+
NightlitEquinox 11:45 pm
(11:45:51 PM): *David thinks that Xamel is going to be troublesome... it is also the only unit on the field that can really damage the Tank... and that is irritating. So he loads an explosive shell and fires it at it. If only he had some sort of acid or EMP shell? He should look into that. &
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:14 PM): [Yuunagi] And damaged though it is, the Straybird rises to the challenge! The shots crash into it, and the Gelgoog goes down in flames!
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:28 PM): [David] The explosive shell hurtles out, crashing into the Xamel and hitting it dead-on! There's an impressive explosion... but the Xamel is also larger than most other mobile suits and it swings its gun down to focus on the tank instead... right before firing!
(11:47:47 PM): Robert: "Ooooh no you don't! I didn't survive Freetown's massacre to die today! Not today... not before Stardust!"
(11:47:54 PM): (React: David)
Saraanne13 11:48 pm
(11:48:45 PM): Damage inside the cockpit. The rookie almost had it. When he approached the garage, Bernie knew he was up against two units, but he was mainly focused on the gundam. He was taking a risk here. Zaku II holds onto the heat hawk+
NightlitEquinox 11:49 pm
(11:49:51 PM): *David lets the armor take the hit, loads a concussive shell. Fires it, Loads an Explosive Shell, fires it, then Loads a Fragmentation Shell, and fires it. Hopefully they will damage the Xamel enough for the fragments to pierce the cockpit! +
wyverncakes 11:49 pm
(11:49:58 PM): [Bernie] The Zaku's head and main camera go! The last sights you see before nothing but static gets fed to you is a roaring fire beginning to grow inside of the hangar off in the distance... but that doesn't matter much as you manage to finally cleave Alex's entire arm clean off!
(11:50:11 PM): (Chris: Going to let that go unanswered?)
Nerdorama09 11:50 pm
(11:50:20 PM): Chris rolls her mobile suit's shoulder to try and minimize the damage without breaking her momentum.
(11:50:35 PM): (Sorry, I typed that and never hit return for some reason)
(11:51:38 PM): Chris (private): "M--Technica! I've got this guy. Someone has to take care of that artillery unit, go help with that before someone gets killed!"
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:53 PM): [David] The hits continue to pelt the Xamel, tearing through it bit by bit... but it's too late! It fires, and the tank's blown into the air, spiraling around before crashing onto the ground as alarms go blaring inside of it!
Overman Zappa 11:51 pm
(11:51:57 PM): (Chris would not know MarKus is Technica, so I'll let that slide)
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:12 PM): Robert: "There! This thing... I'm protected! My comrades won't-"
Overman Zappa 11:52 pm
(11:52:48 PM): Technica: "Take care of my arm then." Dropping that in the garage, the Technica skids off
wyverncakes 11:53 pm
(11:53:03 PM): ... And at once the sand begins to shift underneath the Xamel, the sequential blasts causing it to begin to fall down the dune and lose its balance... its uneven weight distribution ultimately... exposing its vulnerable underside.
(11:53:24 PM): (David: Life sucks for you right now... but do you and the tank have enough in you for one last shot?)
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:00 PM): (While we're at it: Kou and Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 11:54 pm
(11:54:15 PM): (Assuming the barrel is pointed in the right direction? Sure. Not like David is in a lot of pain, he is used to rolling with FAR worse things than a tank flipping over.)
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:27 PM): (Chris and Bernie, also, if you want to follow up with one last exchange, be my guest)
lichifruit 11:55 pm
(11:55:10 PM): *Climbing out from halfway under the tarp, a bulky white mobile machine stands up.
(11:55:16 PM): (( http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/973910/mecha-no_humans-original-roke-shadow ))
HyprKnux 1 11:56 pm
(11:56:01 PM): "That suit's still not letting me go!" *The Dreissan's persistant, but it's time to end this fight! He launches himself at the not!Dom, aiming to pierce right through the suit and take it down with the beam saber!+
lichifruit 11:56 pm
(11:56:21 PM): (( (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSNDRgs4KCc ))
NightlitEquinox 11:57 pm
(11:57:18 PM): *Wait? The tank is pointed at the Xamel! Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth! David rolls to the barrel and loads an explosive shell. He then smiles as he fires. +
(11:57:33 PM): (And for the record? Mod okayed the godmode.)
lichifruit 11:57 pm
(11:57:39 PM): 151-E steps in without drawing a weapon, favoring the speed of tempered steel punches.&
wyverncakes 11:58 pm
(11:58:09 PM): [Kou] GP-01 charges, but the Dreissan does as well, reading its beam lancer as a long, energy axe sweeping forward and swatting the saber away as it moves in for the kill as well! Kou, it's the moment of truth!
(11:58:11 PM): (React: Kou)
(11:59:28 PM): [David] As David fires... the tank pauses. For a moment nothing happens... before one last shot hurtles out, slamming it into the Xamel. A moment later and it explodes, blowing the massive artillery machine apart from the inside out!
wyverncakes 12:00 am
(12:00:46 AM): [Rosie] "No weapons?" The mercenary laughs. "Christ! Trying to pull that shit without even mobile trace is suicide against this Dolmel!" The red machine moves in response cutting horizontally with each of its arm blades!
(12:00:51 AM): (Continue: Rosie)
Nerdorama09 12:01 am
(12:01:39 AM): * Chris pushes her Gundam forward, using the shield to try and shove the Zaku II back so she can get its undamaged arm free and draw a beam saber.&
HyprKnux 1 12:02 am
(12:02:01 AM): *Moment of truth indeed! Can't dodge in time, no shield. Panic starts to set in before... "SEPERATE!" Kou hits the switch, splitting the GP-01's upper torso from its lower. "GOOOO!" One last attempt at an attack as the upper half falls on the Dreissan, saber aimed at it!+
Overman Zappa 12:02 am
(12:02:29 AM): Damn, again. Technica was going to go help with that thing too. Tch...
lichifruit 12:02 am
(12:02:54 AM): It did it again...!
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:09 AM): [Kou] And at once the Dreissan's attack... slips through the empty air between the two sections... right before Kou's beam saber swings down, cleaving through the Zeon mobile suit!
(12:03:12 AM): ... KOU!
lichifruit 12:03 am
(12:03:14 AM): *151-E's arm moved without Rosie's consent... but...
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:15 AM): YOU FINALLY HAVE
(12:03:17 AM): YOUR FIRST KILL!
Saraanne13 12:03 am
(12:03:21 AM): Ugly situation. The Zaku's camera was disabled, but before that, Bernie saw an ominous explosion in the distance. The Zaku still had its Heat Hawk in hand.
(12:03:35 AM): +It swings again!+
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:45 AM): [Chris and Bernie] The Zaku's knocked back, and you have your opening to draw your beam saber! It's the moment of truth, you two!
lichifruit 12:04 am
(12:04:04 AM): *It slammed down, as if to block a blade with a heavy armored arm...&
(12:04:12 AM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GMyqIE1eE
Nerdorama09 12:05 am
(12:05:19 AM): Beam saber lit, the RX-78NT1 charges forward. It's now or never, and Chris brings the saber forward for one attack, aimed to go straight through the Zaku's torso.+
wyverncakes 12:06 am
(12:06:05 AM): [Chris and Bernie] Zaku and Alex charge, weapons swinging down to try to see who would fall... BUT-
(12:06:37 AM): Inside of the garage, the fire finally reaches something... something big and important! Before either of you know it there's a huge explosion!
wyverncakes 12:07 am
(12:07:28 AM): The two machines are caught in the blast, thrown away and crash into the ground painfully, both of them with parts being torn apart...
(12:08:10 AM): And when the world suddenly stops spinning and you both stop getting concussions... you both find yourself looking at the wreck of the other's mobile suit from your cockpit... straight at each other.
Overman Zappa 12:08 am
(12:08:12 AM): Technica: "That's... not going to fix easy..."
wyverncakes 12:09 am
(12:09:02 AM): [Rosie] The beam saber slams down into the armor, meeting resistance but melting its way through the limb steadily. "Feh! Delaying the inevitable, bitch?"
(12:09:06 AM): (Continue: Rosie)
Nerdorama09 12:09 am
(12:09:47 AM): Chris sits up - rather painfully, after getting thrown about - and looks out. And blinks.
(12:09:54 AM): Chris: "...Bernie?"
Saraanne13 12:09 am
(12:09:57 AM): Bernie groans after all that, and opens his eyes to see the gundam...downed! "..." But also, the pilot.
(12:10:12 AM): Bernie: "C..Ch..Chris?"
lichifruit 12:12 am
(12:12:13 AM): "Shut up!" She moved her new machine forward to body blow the Dolmel.&
NightlitEquinox 12:12 am
(12:12:35 AM): David exits the now useless tank. And heads towards the rest of the battle at super human speeds.
(12:12:54 AM): People were possibly hurt... and it's not as if he could do anything more in a wrecked tank.
wyverncakes 12:13 am
(12:13:23 AM): [Rosie] And the blow actually stuns the Dolmel's pilot a little bit. That's the thing about Mobile Trace; it's all fun and games until you get hurt! But you've got an opening now!
(12:13:29 AM): (Continue/Finish this: Rosie)
lichifruit 12:15 am
(12:15:40 AM): *151-E's bulky body went down to the ground with the Dolmel, grasping at its arm and pushing it down into the Dolmel with its own beam saber...
(12:16:34 AM): *It cracks the arm, but ot before the beam saber dies after searing its way into the shoulders and neck of the mobile suit, twisted, metled metal scars in the red machine.
wyverncakes 12:17 am
(12:17:36 AM): (+?)
lichifruit 12:17 am
(12:17:43 AM): *The white berserker, mounted over the red machine, just starts slamming at the Dolmel with its fists until it stops moving.+
(12:18:59 AM): She's just growling and snarling with every blow.
wyverncakes 12:19 am
(12:19:33 AM): [Rosie] Only an empath or a Newtype could have experienced the shock and panic going through the mercenary's mind as the Dolmel was overpowered in such a way, carved into and then brutally pummeled as parts began to break off, gasps and weak pleas for mercy coming through the radio. Thankfully, Rosie was one
lichifruit 12:19 am
(12:19:56 AM): And she savored every bit of it.
(12:20:01 AM): Now she was the one getting off on this.
wyverncakes 12:20 am
(12:20:08 AM): And as the chest was damn near crushes, a man was seen getting out of the cockpit, scrambling... trying to get away...
lichifruit 12:20 am
(12:20:59 AM): She slammed on the button for the speakers, her wicked voice booming over him. "You think I'm done with you!?"
wyverncakes 12:21 am
(12:21:48 AM): (And that wonderful little confrontation will be wrapped up in a log. MEANWHILE!)
Nerdorama09 12:23 am
(12:23:18 AM): Chris staggers up out of her cockpit. Trying to move Alex under its own power would probably do more damage than good anyway right now. Plus she's in a bit of a daze.
Saraanne13 12:27 am
(12:27:54 AM): "The gundam..." Bernie's so mind-blown shocked he didn't know what to do. He slowly staggered out of the Zaku's cockpit, with widened eyes. (She...she's the one, who killed...no...what should I do? Captain..) "Gkk!" A wince.
Nerdorama09 12:29 am
(12:29:47 AM): Chris can't do much of anything but walk towards the man in shock. "What are you doing here...?"
Saraanne13 12:31 am
(12:31:58 AM): "What are you doing here?!" Bernie shook his head, "It's..it's a lie." Then fell on his knees, "...This whole time."
NightlitEquinox 12:33 am
(12:33:25 AM): David stops... watching the scene from the entrance to the nearly destroyed hanger. He isn't sure what to do. He doesn't even know what's going on.
Nerdorama09 12:35 am
(12:35:17 AM): Some part of Chris's mind is telling her to pull a gun - as if she could fire it, her right arm feels broken. Instead, she just walks up to him and offers him her good hand. "I think the fight's over."
Atrament Corel 12:38 am
(12:38:25 AM): Yuunagi is just confused right now, but as far as he's concerned, he's done his job...
lichifruit has left the room. 12:40 am
Saraanne13 12:40 am
(12:40:19 AM): Eyes still wide. "What are you--" Bernie has a short pause. He was nervous and lost at first...but ,he wanted to take her hand. Chris was so kind...Bernie slowly reaches.
NightlitEquinox 12:40 am
(12:40:37 AM): David looks them over... this wasn't what he was expecting. "Do you know him?"
Nerdorama09 12:41 am
(12:41:54 AM): Chris helps Bernie up. "We've met. And I guess you're...a fellow soldier, huh?"
NightlitEquinox 12:42 am
(12:42:59 AM): David walks over to them looking them over for injury, but slowly and unobtrusively.
NightlitEquinox 12:45 am
(12:45:07 AM): David looks them over, "Do you need any help?"
HyprKnux 1 12:45 am
(12:45:24 AM): Well, Kou's idea worked. He stopped the machine, but now there's the problem of the others. He starts to make his way out his suit.
Saraanne13 12:46 am
(12:46:15 AM): Bernie: You'd help me. Even after what I did?
Nerdorama09 12:47 am
(12:47:00 AM): Chris: "Well, you guys did blow up a school. You want to continue this conversation, or get medical attention first?"
NightlitEquinox 12:47 am
(12:47:23 AM): David moves forward, "Medical attention? I can handle that."
Nerdorama09 12:47 am
(12:47:39 AM): Chris: "I'd appreciate it."
Saraanne13 12:47 am
(12:47:41 AM): "I! Uh...mm" Bernie lowers his head. No objections?
NightlitEquinox 12:48 am
(12:48:54 AM): David moves forward and his hands start glowing. He then moves his hands over Chris and Bernies injuries.
NightlitEquinox 12:49 am
(12:49:47 AM): A few minutes later, they would feel well enough to move, the only injuries remaining being non deadly flesh wounds.
(12:50:07 AM): He sighs, obviously tired, "That better?" He says with a light smile.
Saraanne13 12:51 am
(12:51:30 AM): Bernie silently agrees with a nod. He's still a little confused, and nervous. How was this going to end up?
wyverncakes 12:51 am
(12:51:44 AM): With the fire in the one garage dying down, it's clear that the battle is over and done with. Rosie's currently working over the Dolmel's pilot in the other, and come to think of it you can probably hear the screams if you really try.
wyverncakes 12:51 am
(12:51:55 AM): At any rate, Gato wasn't here... though you did end up encountering other survivors of the Freetown battle, including one who by the looks of it is going to be in White Chalice custody unless anyone has any other ideas.
wyverncakes 11:17 pm
(11:17:37 PM): [Everyone sans Rosie] At once, there almost seems to be a glinting figure up on the top of a dune at the opposite end of the base... just as the might Xamel unleashes another blast to tear into the battlefield, aiming for pretty much everyone!
(11:17:50 PM): (React: Everyone not named Bernie or Rosie)
(11:18:26 PM): [Technica] Blammo! The entire midsection of the Dreissan is blown away... but now you got artillery to worry about!
Atrament Corel 11:18 pm
(11:18:54 PM): With the Straybird's mobility limited, there wasn't much Yuunagi could do...or maybe there was?
HyprKnux 1 11:18 pm
(11:18:58 PM): *"What in the...?!" Forget the Dreissen for the moment! He needs to survive! Kou pushes away once more, attempting to avoid the artillery.+
NightlitEquinox 11:19 pm
(11:19:17 PM): *David rolls the tank behind the sand dune he's on for cover and uh... hopes the armor holds. If there is anything he can shoot with point defense CIWS he does... but that's really a last resort. +
Nerdorama09 11:19 pm
(11:19:58 PM): Chris lets the Alex's freakish reaction speed work for her as she ducks the Gundam away from the artillery shells and, if necessary, into a building+
wyverncakes 11:20 pm
(11:20:24 PM): [Rosie] While all of this is going on though, the Dolmel is able to rise up up again, and you can sense some degree of frustration from the pilot inside as the 151-E stands up as well. "Christ... you took that thing? Well, no matter. It's just another chance to beat the shit out of you!" Energy blades shoot out of the Dolmel's legs as well and it charges, swining a hand down and kicking, sending a pair of beam sabers straight at you!
(11:20:26 PM): (React: Rosie)
Overman Zappa 11:20 pm
(11:20:33 PM): *Technica plows through the remains of his opponent, grabbing what he can of his arm along the way. At least for now, he's making a slide into one of the garages+
Atrament Corel 11:20 pm
(11:20:33 PM): *And in that instant, Yuunagi, inspired by something he saw during a battle against a certain Adventus General, summons a clone...of the Straybird's destroyed wing? He's never tried it out before, but he pushes the throttle and attempts to evade the artillery barrage.+
Overman Zappa 11:20 pm
(11:20:43 PM): (slide foot first, not head first)
wyverncakes 11:22 pm
(11:22:47 PM): [David] The Tank's mobility is... kinda crap. Thankfully you're on the very outskirts of the battle, but as you fall back a few bits of shrapnel fall down, crashing through non-essential parts of the tank as warning lights begin to come on.
lichifruit 11:23 pm
(11:23:26 PM): "Ghh... Bandits take what anything they want, bitch--"
(11:23:45 PM): *And then something happened as the system truly started up. She felt...
wyverncakes 11:23 pm
(11:23:46 PM): [Technica and Chris] You both manage to get inside one of the garages, shots nipping at your heels the whole way... but you manage to get inside. There's already sounds of the ceilingstart to give way but you're fine for the moment!
NightlitEquinox 11:24 pm
(11:24:09 PM): David isn't surprised, it's pretty much what he expected. He needed to get some sort of Mobile Suit or something. Of course that meant learning to pilot.
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:23 PM): She felt like her empathic senses were sharpened. Her eyes went wide as if people were roaring and screaming and crying into her ears.
wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:23 PM): [Kou] You and the Dreissan break away from each other, both of you having a very clear idea of what's the top priority right now... but that Dreissen's not taking its eyes off of you
Overman Zappa 11:24 pm
(11:24:29 PM): (GARAGE CHECK!)
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:31 PM): And she knew that feeling from the man too well. He was attacking.
lichifruit 11:24 pm
(11:24:49 PM): *She didn't know what was coming because of the tarp, and without even handling the controls...
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:12 PM): [Yuunagi] Well, the wing can't really help with thrust and it's not the same as an imitation of a limb he'd normally use... but the Straybird does still push itself forward all the same, getting scarred by a few more chance shots but otherwise staying intact!
lichifruit 11:25 pm
(11:25:14 PM): *... the prone mech _rolled_ to the side.+
(11:25:20 PM): "H-huh!?"
wyverncakes 11:25 pm
(11:25:54 PM): [Rosie] The attacks just barely miss... thank God, and the pilot's a bit pissed about that, actually!
(11:26:39 PM): (Chanigng lineup to better reflect the situation)
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:02 PM): (Bernie, Chris, Technica, David, Yuunagi, Kou, Rosie)
(11:28:06 PM): Technica! Chris! You're currently in a differentgarage than Rosie and the Dolmel... it's dark and the lights aren't currently on... frankly, anyone else could be in here just waiting to strike. And in fact...
(11:28:08 PM): (Bernie)
Saraanne13 11:29 pm
(11:29:41 PM): Robert's shot changed the situation, forcing the gundam and another unit inside one of the hanger. Bernie takes advantage of the situation and his Zaku II charges in. Cause of the darkness, Bernie unloads his machine gun again+
wyverncakes 11:30 pm
(11:30:10 PM): [Technica and Chris] Oh shit! That Zaku's charging in and he means business!
(11:30:17 PM): (React: Both of you. After that take your turn)
(11:30:58 PM): (And while we wait on that front: David and Yuunagi, you can take your turn now too)
Nerdorama09 11:31 pm
(11:31:02 PM): * With no room to dodge in here, Chris relies on her shield again, trying to cover both herself and Technica (end react)+
Overman Zappa 11:31 pm
(11:31:04 PM): *Using the combustion of the gun to track the enemy, Technica returns fire with his gun, rolling off to the right after a few shots. Roll, shoot, roll shoot (rinse and repeat)+
wyverncakes 11:32 pm
(11:32:21 PM): [People in Garage A] The machinegun fire for the most part does get blocked by Alex's shield... but a few stray shots do zoom behind both of you, and a small but audible explosion can be heard... sounds like Bernie's hit a fuel tank or something...
(11:32:27 PM): (Bernie: React to getting shot at)
Nerdorama09 11:32 pm
(11:32:37 PM): * Regardless of her success, she fires off a burst from her functional gatling gun to try and force the Zaku out of the building again, charging forward to shoulder-check it if she has to.+
Atrament Corel 11:33 pm
(11:33:33 PM): (Just checking, is that Gelgoog still there?)
wyverncakes 11:33 pm
(11:33:44 PM): (Yeah. Still one Gelgoog left)
(11:33:48 PM): (Enemy headcount:)
(11:33:58 PM): (Red: Dolmel, damaged Gelgoog, and Dreissan)
(11:34:06 PM): (Yellow: Bernie's Zaku and Robert's Xamel)
mistergiggl3s has left the room. 11:34 pm
Atrament Corel 11:34 pm
(11:34:24 PM): (Okay thanks.)
wyverncakes 11:34 pm
(11:34:47 PM): (Add that to what you're reacting to Bernie: chaingun shots like what killed Mikhail and then the shoulder charge)
Saraanne13 11:36 pm
(11:36:55 PM): It's not of body length, but the Zaku II had a shield of its own. Bernie saw the explosion and reacted with a little panic. His Zaku II crosses its one arm over to move its shield forward. Bernie sees something approach...
Atrament Corel 11:37 pm
(11:37:04 PM): *As much as Yuunagi wanted to go after whatever launched that artillery barrage, the Gelgoog still presented a threat, so he's going to try to remove it first. The Straybird summons two more clones of itself that attempt to flood the Gelgoog's vision with Crow Machinegun shots.&
Saraanne13 11:37 pm
(11:37:17 PM): and the Zaku II takes out its Heat Hawk to brandish it, "Uwaaa!"+
macprysm has left the room. 11:38 pm
wyverncakes 11:39 pm
(11:39:09 PM): [Chris and Bernie] The combined assault still chews through the Zaku's shield, and the machine is knocked back as systems inside of the machine begin to break or short out... but you still press on! Chris, your charge is met with a heat hawk that smashes into the Alex's shoulder, steadily and surely cutting through it!
Overman Zappa 11:40 pm
(11:40:12 PM): *With the Zaku occupied, Technica takes a cheap shot at it, closing in at it's side and aiming to blow away the head unit. Like a boss+
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:08 PM): [Yuunagi] The damage to the Straybird's wings makes the clones seem... vague, somewhat shakey and not at all consistent, but they still fire all the same as the Gelgoog is forced to fall back again, all while firing away in the hopes of taking it down!
wyverncakes 11:41 pm
(11:41:16 PM): (Continue: Yuunag)
(11:41:52 PM): (How is Technica attacking the Zaku's head?)
Overman Zappa 11:42 pm
(11:42:15 PM): (shooting)
wyverncakes 11:42 pm
(11:42:18 PM): (Alright)
(11:42:41 PM): [Bernie] Bernie, you're well on your way to de-limbing the Alex, but that other machine's firing a shot at your Zaku's head! Are you going to break off this chance to take down the Gundam that took the lives of your comrades?
Atrament Corel 11:44 pm
(11:44:24 PM): *The clones do their job though, and Yuunagi uses the enemy's movement to his advantage, circle strafing around to attempt to flank the Gelgoog from the side. He fires two more Prava Grenade shots.+
NightlitEquinox 11:45 pm
(11:45:51 PM): *David thinks that Xamel is going to be troublesome... it is also the only unit on the field that can really damage the Tank... and that is irritating. So he loads an explosive shell and fires it at it. If only he had some sort of acid or EMP shell? He should look into that. &
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:14 PM): [Yuunagi] And damaged though it is, the Straybird rises to the challenge! The shots crash into it, and the Gelgoog goes down in flames!
wyverncakes 11:47 pm
(11:47:28 PM): [David] The explosive shell hurtles out, crashing into the Xamel and hitting it dead-on! There's an impressive explosion... but the Xamel is also larger than most other mobile suits and it swings its gun down to focus on the tank instead... right before firing!
(11:47:47 PM): Robert: "Ooooh no you don't! I didn't survive Freetown's massacre to die today! Not today... not before Stardust!"
(11:47:54 PM): (React: David)
Saraanne13 11:48 pm
(11:48:45 PM): Damage inside the cockpit. The rookie almost had it. When he approached the garage, Bernie knew he was up against two units, but he was mainly focused on the gundam. He was taking a risk here. Zaku II holds onto the heat hawk+
NightlitEquinox 11:49 pm
(11:49:51 PM): *David lets the armor take the hit, loads a concussive shell. Fires it, Loads an Explosive Shell, fires it, then Loads a Fragmentation Shell, and fires it. Hopefully they will damage the Xamel enough for the fragments to pierce the cockpit! +
wyverncakes 11:49 pm
(11:49:58 PM): [Bernie] The Zaku's head and main camera go! The last sights you see before nothing but static gets fed to you is a roaring fire beginning to grow inside of the hangar off in the distance... but that doesn't matter much as you manage to finally cleave Alex's entire arm clean off!
(11:50:11 PM): (Chris: Going to let that go unanswered?)
Nerdorama09 11:50 pm
(11:50:20 PM): Chris rolls her mobile suit's shoulder to try and minimize the damage without breaking her momentum.
(11:50:35 PM): (Sorry, I typed that and never hit return for some reason)
(11:51:38 PM): Chris (private): "M--Technica! I've got this guy. Someone has to take care of that artillery unit, go help with that before someone gets killed!"
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:53 PM): [David] The hits continue to pelt the Xamel, tearing through it bit by bit... but it's too late! It fires, and the tank's blown into the air, spiraling around before crashing onto the ground as alarms go blaring inside of it!
Overman Zappa 11:51 pm
(11:51:57 PM): (Chris would not know MarKus is Technica, so I'll let that slide)
wyverncakes 11:52 pm
(11:52:12 PM): Robert: "There! This thing... I'm protected! My comrades won't-"
Overman Zappa 11:52 pm
(11:52:48 PM): Technica: "Take care of my arm then." Dropping that in the garage, the Technica skids off
wyverncakes 11:53 pm
(11:53:03 PM): ... And at once the sand begins to shift underneath the Xamel, the sequential blasts causing it to begin to fall down the dune and lose its balance... its uneven weight distribution ultimately... exposing its vulnerable underside.
(11:53:24 PM): (David: Life sucks for you right now... but do you and the tank have enough in you for one last shot?)
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:00 PM): (While we're at it: Kou and Rosie)
NightlitEquinox 11:54 pm
(11:54:15 PM): (Assuming the barrel is pointed in the right direction? Sure. Not like David is in a lot of pain, he is used to rolling with FAR worse things than a tank flipping over.)
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:27 PM): (Chris and Bernie, also, if you want to follow up with one last exchange, be my guest)
lichifruit 11:55 pm
(11:55:10 PM): *Climbing out from halfway under the tarp, a bulky white mobile machine stands up.
(11:55:16 PM): (( http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/973910/mecha-no_humans-original-roke-shadow ))
HyprKnux 1 11:56 pm
(11:56:01 PM): "That suit's still not letting me go!" *The Dreissan's persistant, but it's time to end this fight! He launches himself at the not!Dom, aiming to pierce right through the suit and take it down with the beam saber!+
lichifruit 11:56 pm
(11:56:21 PM): (( (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSNDRgs4KCc ))
NightlitEquinox 11:57 pm
(11:57:18 PM): *Wait? The tank is pointed at the Xamel! Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth! David rolls to the barrel and loads an explosive shell. He then smiles as he fires. +
(11:57:33 PM): (And for the record? Mod okayed the godmode.)
lichifruit 11:57 pm
(11:57:39 PM): 151-E steps in without drawing a weapon, favoring the speed of tempered steel punches.&
wyverncakes 11:58 pm
(11:58:09 PM): [Kou] GP-01 charges, but the Dreissan does as well, reading its beam lancer as a long, energy axe sweeping forward and swatting the saber away as it moves in for the kill as well! Kou, it's the moment of truth!
(11:58:11 PM): (React: Kou)
(11:59:28 PM): [David] As David fires... the tank pauses. For a moment nothing happens... before one last shot hurtles out, slamming it into the Xamel. A moment later and it explodes, blowing the massive artillery machine apart from the inside out!
wyverncakes 12:00 am
(12:00:46 AM): [Rosie] "No weapons?" The mercenary laughs. "Christ! Trying to pull that shit without even mobile trace is suicide against this Dolmel!" The red machine moves in response cutting horizontally with each of its arm blades!
(12:00:51 AM): (Continue: Rosie)
Nerdorama09 12:01 am
(12:01:39 AM): * Chris pushes her Gundam forward, using the shield to try and shove the Zaku II back so she can get its undamaged arm free and draw a beam saber.&
HyprKnux 1 12:02 am
(12:02:01 AM): *Moment of truth indeed! Can't dodge in time, no shield. Panic starts to set in before... "SEPERATE!" Kou hits the switch, splitting the GP-01's upper torso from its lower. "GOOOO!" One last attempt at an attack as the upper half falls on the Dreissan, saber aimed at it!+
Overman Zappa 12:02 am
(12:02:29 AM): Damn, again. Technica was going to go help with that thing too. Tch...
lichifruit 12:02 am
(12:02:54 AM): It did it again...!
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:09 AM): [Kou] And at once the Dreissan's attack... slips through the empty air between the two sections... right before Kou's beam saber swings down, cleaving through the Zeon mobile suit!
(12:03:12 AM): ... KOU!
lichifruit 12:03 am
(12:03:14 AM): *151-E's arm moved without Rosie's consent... but...
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:15 AM): YOU FINALLY HAVE
(12:03:17 AM): YOUR FIRST KILL!
Saraanne13 12:03 am
(12:03:21 AM): Ugly situation. The Zaku's camera was disabled, but before that, Bernie saw an ominous explosion in the distance. The Zaku still had its Heat Hawk in hand.
(12:03:35 AM): +It swings again!+
wyverncakes 12:03 am
(12:03:45 AM): [Chris and Bernie] The Zaku's knocked back, and you have your opening to draw your beam saber! It's the moment of truth, you two!
lichifruit 12:04 am
(12:04:04 AM): *It slammed down, as if to block a blade with a heavy armored arm...&
(12:04:12 AM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GMyqIE1eE
Nerdorama09 12:05 am
(12:05:19 AM): Beam saber lit, the RX-78NT1 charges forward. It's now or never, and Chris brings the saber forward for one attack, aimed to go straight through the Zaku's torso.+
wyverncakes 12:06 am
(12:06:05 AM): [Chris and Bernie] Zaku and Alex charge, weapons swinging down to try to see who would fall... BUT-
(12:06:37 AM): Inside of the garage, the fire finally reaches something... something big and important! Before either of you know it there's a huge explosion!
wyverncakes 12:07 am
(12:07:28 AM): The two machines are caught in the blast, thrown away and crash into the ground painfully, both of them with parts being torn apart...
(12:08:10 AM): And when the world suddenly stops spinning and you both stop getting concussions... you both find yourself looking at the wreck of the other's mobile suit from your cockpit... straight at each other.
Overman Zappa 12:08 am
(12:08:12 AM): Technica: "That's... not going to fix easy..."
wyverncakes 12:09 am
(12:09:02 AM): [Rosie] The beam saber slams down into the armor, meeting resistance but melting its way through the limb steadily. "Feh! Delaying the inevitable, bitch?"
(12:09:06 AM): (Continue: Rosie)
Nerdorama09 12:09 am
(12:09:47 AM): Chris sits up - rather painfully, after getting thrown about - and looks out. And blinks.
(12:09:54 AM): Chris: "...Bernie?"
Saraanne13 12:09 am
(12:09:57 AM): Bernie groans after all that, and opens his eyes to see the gundam...downed! "..." But also, the pilot.
(12:10:12 AM): Bernie: "C..Ch..Chris?"
lichifruit 12:12 am
(12:12:13 AM): "Shut up!" She moved her new machine forward to body blow the Dolmel.&
NightlitEquinox 12:12 am
(12:12:35 AM): David exits the now useless tank. And heads towards the rest of the battle at super human speeds.
(12:12:54 AM): People were possibly hurt... and it's not as if he could do anything more in a wrecked tank.
wyverncakes 12:13 am
(12:13:23 AM): [Rosie] And the blow actually stuns the Dolmel's pilot a little bit. That's the thing about Mobile Trace; it's all fun and games until you get hurt! But you've got an opening now!
(12:13:29 AM): (Continue/Finish this: Rosie)
lichifruit 12:15 am
(12:15:40 AM): *151-E's bulky body went down to the ground with the Dolmel, grasping at its arm and pushing it down into the Dolmel with its own beam saber...
(12:16:34 AM): *It cracks the arm, but ot before the beam saber dies after searing its way into the shoulders and neck of the mobile suit, twisted, metled metal scars in the red machine.
wyverncakes 12:17 am
(12:17:36 AM): (+?)
lichifruit 12:17 am
(12:17:43 AM): *The white berserker, mounted over the red machine, just starts slamming at the Dolmel with its fists until it stops moving.+
(12:18:59 AM): She's just growling and snarling with every blow.
wyverncakes 12:19 am
(12:19:33 AM): [Rosie] Only an empath or a Newtype could have experienced the shock and panic going through the mercenary's mind as the Dolmel was overpowered in such a way, carved into and then brutally pummeled as parts began to break off, gasps and weak pleas for mercy coming through the radio. Thankfully, Rosie was one
lichifruit 12:19 am
(12:19:56 AM): And she savored every bit of it.
(12:20:01 AM): Now she was the one getting off on this.
wyverncakes 12:20 am
(12:20:08 AM): And as the chest was damn near crushes, a man was seen getting out of the cockpit, scrambling... trying to get away...
lichifruit 12:20 am
(12:20:59 AM): She slammed on the button for the speakers, her wicked voice booming over him. "You think I'm done with you!?"
wyverncakes 12:21 am
(12:21:48 AM): (And that wonderful little confrontation will be wrapped up in a log. MEANWHILE!)
Nerdorama09 12:23 am
(12:23:18 AM): Chris staggers up out of her cockpit. Trying to move Alex under its own power would probably do more damage than good anyway right now. Plus she's in a bit of a daze.
Saraanne13 12:27 am
(12:27:54 AM): "The gundam..." Bernie's so mind-blown shocked he didn't know what to do. He slowly staggered out of the Zaku's cockpit, with widened eyes. (She...she's the one, who killed...no...what should I do? Captain..) "Gkk!" A wince.
Nerdorama09 12:29 am
(12:29:47 AM): Chris can't do much of anything but walk towards the man in shock. "What are you doing here...?"
Saraanne13 12:31 am
(12:31:58 AM): "What are you doing here?!" Bernie shook his head, "It's..it's a lie." Then fell on his knees, "...This whole time."
NightlitEquinox 12:33 am
(12:33:25 AM): David stops... watching the scene from the entrance to the nearly destroyed hanger. He isn't sure what to do. He doesn't even know what's going on.
Nerdorama09 12:35 am
(12:35:17 AM): Some part of Chris's mind is telling her to pull a gun - as if she could fire it, her right arm feels broken. Instead, she just walks up to him and offers him her good hand. "I think the fight's over."
Atrament Corel 12:38 am
(12:38:25 AM): Yuunagi is just confused right now, but as far as he's concerned, he's done his job...
lichifruit has left the room. 12:40 am
Saraanne13 12:40 am
(12:40:19 AM): Eyes still wide. "What are you--" Bernie has a short pause. He was nervous and lost at first...but ,he wanted to take her hand. Chris was so kind...Bernie slowly reaches.
NightlitEquinox 12:40 am
(12:40:37 AM): David looks them over... this wasn't what he was expecting. "Do you know him?"
Nerdorama09 12:41 am
(12:41:54 AM): Chris helps Bernie up. "We've met. And I guess you're...a fellow soldier, huh?"
NightlitEquinox 12:42 am
(12:42:59 AM): David walks over to them looking them over for injury, but slowly and unobtrusively.
NightlitEquinox 12:45 am
(12:45:07 AM): David looks them over, "Do you need any help?"
HyprKnux 1 12:45 am
(12:45:24 AM): Well, Kou's idea worked. He stopped the machine, but now there's the problem of the others. He starts to make his way out his suit.
Saraanne13 12:46 am
(12:46:15 AM): Bernie: You'd help me. Even after what I did?
Nerdorama09 12:47 am
(12:47:00 AM): Chris: "Well, you guys did blow up a school. You want to continue this conversation, or get medical attention first?"
NightlitEquinox 12:47 am
(12:47:23 AM): David moves forward, "Medical attention? I can handle that."
Nerdorama09 12:47 am
(12:47:39 AM): Chris: "I'd appreciate it."
Saraanne13 12:47 am
(12:47:41 AM): "I! Uh...mm" Bernie lowers his head. No objections?
NightlitEquinox 12:48 am
(12:48:54 AM): David moves forward and his hands start glowing. He then moves his hands over Chris and Bernies injuries.
NightlitEquinox 12:49 am
(12:49:47 AM): A few minutes later, they would feel well enough to move, the only injuries remaining being non deadly flesh wounds.
(12:50:07 AM): He sighs, obviously tired, "That better?" He says with a light smile.
Saraanne13 12:51 am
(12:51:30 AM): Bernie silently agrees with a nod. He's still a little confused, and nervous. How was this going to end up?
wyverncakes 12:51 am
(12:51:44 AM): With the fire in the one garage dying down, it's clear that the battle is over and done with. Rosie's currently working over the Dolmel's pilot in the other, and come to think of it you can probably hear the screams if you really try.
wyverncakes 12:51 am
(12:51:55 AM): At any rate, Gato wasn't here... though you did end up encountering other survivors of the Freetown battle, including one who by the looks of it is going to be in White Chalice custody unless anyone has any other ideas.
