Who: ...A lotta people xD;;;
What: King Kong is on the loose, Ed's seething, and Lupin is freaked because a big ol' alien just disappeared right in front of her. Yup, life's good in the Big Apple.
When: After everyone converged to the Alice Statue
Where: The Alice statue, Central Park
Oh, crap. Yeah, she wasn't too thrilled at the seething figure ( Read more... )
He was still trying to figure out how he would approach this dire situation. On the one servo, he could ultimately attack the creature and lead to its demise...but on the other, it was an organic and it showed clear levels of...sentience. Prime would consider this a difficult decision, he knew. Bumblebee ran through the situation over and over again. To destroy the giant gorilla or no... It would be difficult if he chose the former. The creature was far larger than him, but then again...it was soft and squishy and his weapon would easily tear through its rather fragile organic frame.
Bumblebee stopped short of the Alice Statue--the meeting point, he remembered correctly--and saw a young human female, who appeared around Mikaela and Sam's approximate age, quivering in what he assumed was fear as she watched the fight over yonder. She turned her focus on himself and the flying bike when they had begun to near. He set Hisoka down as gently as possible, close to the young woman.
He realized it might have been the young woman who called herself "Lupin". She watched with wide optics, staring at him and the bike, hesitant in approach before she moved towards Hisoka, immediately helping him. She looked back at him once more, as if to confirm she wasn't seeing things.
Bumblebee gave a short nod and she gave a rather nervous grin, a small wave, and then was back to helping Hisoka. He looked to the young redheaded male directing the bike, as well as the strangely white-haired male with the strange arm deformity. He waited. He could do nothing else. He was thinking of what Prime would do in this situation and...that would be to save the giant creature from an undeserved death. There had to be a way to save the huamn hostage and detain the creature...

It can't work in this world; he's tried a thousandfold to get it to work and only once did it do so. And that had been the use of Envy to open the Gate between his world and this one.
The large BOOM behind him, however, made him pivot once more and he stared, slack jawed.
Alchemy.
Then he moved forward, already clapping his hands together. He didn't understand this situation as much as he wished he could... But the useage of alchemy--in this world, no doubt!--was enough for now. The familiar energy coursed through him, that same energy having been muted, cut off from him and he released it. Edward couldn't help but feel that old spark of his teenage years roil through him. He remembered and missed this; the excitement, the fast pace of it all...
Edward slammed his hands onto the ground, the alchemical energy released. The ground rippled for a moment before it unleashed a torrent of vicious earthen spikes jutted up from the ground. He aimed the attack towards the monster, specifically the feet. If he could slow down, perhaps even injure it's unprotected feet, perhaps they had a chance of detaining it, restricting it from getting away...
He just hoped that Lauren wouldn't be dead by the time they got to her.

Allen blinked, his serious attitude momentarily faltering as he saw the familiar Asian man, who was swaying and looked like he was about to be violently sick.
Reply
He barely noticed as he was gentlely dropped onto the ground, looking up through dim eyes only when he heard his name. Oh, Allen was here. That was good. If he could dent a car with that arm, he might be able to...
Without any further thought, the Asian man threw up.

If Roy noticed the newcomers, he didn't give any indication, focused so completely on the task before him. Save the victim, use as much force as needed to subdue the victimizer...clear goals, with no moral ambiguity about them.
And he had good backup, at that. Out of the corner of his eye, Roy noticed Ed unleashing his attack, and smiled. With any luck, they'd save the girl soon.

Stupid plan, she's not going to check her phone in the middle of a battle...
Why could she hear things so clearly? Not even Lauren could figure it out. She must have hit head really hard, because sound hurt. It felt like she had a migraine, unsurprising considering her proximity to the giant gorilla and the recent blow to her head.
Still, this was the furthest thing from her mind at the moment.
That even sounds like the sort of rash plan Allen Walker really would make. I can't believe it, fictional characters...I guess that means that guy really is Ed...

Had she been more aware of her surroundings, she would have been stunned at the sight of fire coming from nowhere, of earthen spikes appearing from the ground, and, most importantly, of what seemed to be a relatively small, yellow mobile suit advancing toward the creature. As it was, she merely noted them down without pausing to think about them - she didn't have time to think about them - and continued on her way.
She almost lost her balance when the creature reared back in pain from Ed's and Roy's combined attacks, but her body righted itself for her and she swung the last few feet to the gorilla's face, almost gagging at the stench.
Now came the hard part. Knowing, in the back of her mind, that she would only have a few seconds before it took notice of her, she clung on grimly with one hand and fired her gun repeatedly up its nose with the other.

Shaking away that situation to be later analyzed, he watched the others in their own ploy of action. Soma, surprisingly, was lithe and agile enough to slip past the monster's defenses. She had her gun ready and he was startlingly reminded of Riza Hawkeye. His lips pulled into a grimace at the thought of her. She was supposed to be here, but why wasn't she...?
Edward glanced over his shoulder and saw Lupin at Roy's side. He was surprised. She had a lot of guts getting closer to this crazed battlefield. He returned his attention back to the task at hand. He clapped again, that rush of energy waiting to be released and he complied. He directed his attention to the legs. Take them out, he can't run away.
Another force of the impossible made possible happened. A larger spike jutted from the earth, hardened and sharpened, stabbing at one of the animal's calves. If it hit home, they might have a chance... No, he knew they would. They had to.

"Watch out!" He yelled to the others, running alongside the giant as it stumbled back, attempting to escape. Leaping, he murmured a quick prayer, feeling his anti-akuma weapon shift into the familiar arm-cannon, aiming carefully.
Oh God, please let this work!

Still, she caught a shout from one of them, and that at least was enough to let her know that she'd done enough up here for now.
Working her way back toward its arm, she slid down the length of it with surprising speed, letting gravity do most of the work. She didn't like the thought of giving up so easily, but whatever the others were planning on doing, it was probably best if she got out of their way.

"God!" She yelped when Hisoka proceeded to throw up and she backed away from the spew before placing a hand on his back, the other hand on his shoulder to help keep the man from falling over. The shout from the white-haired young man didn't go unnoticed by the wolf. She looked over for a moment, waving him off, then returned to Hisoka. "Breath, just breath, please just breath--"
It was more of mantra to keep her nerves steady. Lupin looked up, surprised at the booms, the rumbling of the earth and unnatural howls of the giant gorilla. Her eyes widened at the explosion emitted from Roy and the rippling earthen spikes produced by Edward. Jesus, they can use that here? I thought... The thought trailed off and she helped Hisoka to a safe distance. She swallowed, turning back to the ongoing battle, limbs shaking, heart pounding...
Gather up your damned balls and just fucking do it!
"Stay here!"
With shaky legs, she rushed off, although she knew if she slipped up, she'd collapse and most likely, she'll not want to get up. The closest person she would reach--and perhaps the farthest she would actually go was Roy. Maybe it was irony, or perhaps coincidence, but the wolf didn't dwell. She didn't think she could talk with a giant fucking robot, anyways. She approached with heaving sides, and hesitantly tugged at his arm.
"H-Hey..." She gulped down another breath. "H-He said--Allen, he said go for the legs--provide distraction...oh, God..." She doubled over, catching her breath before her gasps for breath gave way to dry, heaving sobs. "I can't...do this!"
"Pathetic" was the one word she could describe herself. To the extreme. She wasn't made for this kind of stuff... Pathetic and useless Lupin corrected herself. Goddammit.

Then someone yanked his arm, and he quicked looked back to see the young girl, Lupin. There was a pleading look in her eyes, and his expression softened as he saw how frightened she was.
"Hey, kid, buck up." He replied gentlely, putting a reassuring hand on her back when she gave into sobs. "I'll pass it on."
Reply
And then she was suddenly gone. Blinking dazedly, he stumbled a few steps before sinking to his knees, feeling even sicker than before.
It was only then that he turned his head and noticed Allen, watching with wide eyes. Don't do it, kid!

"I think--" She finally said, forcing herself to calm down. "I think I want some coffee and a bed to lay down in..." But first...
Lupin slowly allowed her quickly jell-o'ing legs to finally buckle and she landed on her rear gracelessly. She pressed her head against her knees, trying to allow her shot nerves to regain control, her mind to quit running a hundred miles an hour... To make sense of all of this craziness and maybe walk away sane from this all.

Aerrow glanced at the suddenly concerned Allen and noticed from the corner of his eye that the man this robot had been carrying was throwing up. He silently sympathized for the guy, returning his attention to the robot. It had been silent for a long while, and a part of him made him wonder if the robot knew what he was saying.

He waited, though, as unhappy as he was to do so. The redheaded male finally turned to him, still upon his ride, asking if he were willing to help take the creature. Taking it down was a matter of perspective, he wanted to reply. He was tinier than the organic, but he was sure he was stronger, in a sense, although he would not underestimate its strength.
Bumblebee finally gave enthusiastic nods, optic shutters "blinking" a few times before he turned his focus and attention towards the creature. A large spike diffused itself from the ground and landed a harsh blow to one of the creature's calves. It howled in agony and rage and pain. Bumblebee's system vented a little before he brought his cannon online. He wouldn't aim to kill, but aim to disable. As unfortunate as it was, the creature needed to be put down, if only temporarily. He fired a diluted round at the other leg, knowing his calculations were right on target.
