Mission 088: Betrayal at Sea! The Dual Prince Strike! (part 2)
wyverncakes 10:27 pm
(10:27:11 PM): [Michael] "And now you're forced to use an animal against its will as a weapon!" Gaederius snaps coldly as Metal Wolf charges at the larger machine with the shark! The High Neleus raises its shield in defense, but as the shark strikes it once again explosions are cued and the machine is knocked backwards and its shield destroyed! "Fighting them in only a High Neleus... if only Atlas was operational...!"
EricOverbringer 10:27 pm
(10:27:12 PM): (OR THE OTHER HYDRA THAT ACTUALL STILL EXISTS
Fri Freeman 10:27 pm
(10:27:27 PM): *Some of selfless Suchgerats bravely throws themselves to the enemy's path, hoping to slow it down so the slow Balcongerat can turn in time to parry with its claw*
(10:27:27 PM): +
HyprKnux 1 10:28 pm
(10:28:16 PM): Coop: "Does that guy ever stop complaining?
wyverncakes 10:28 pm
(10:28:31 PM): [Tron] Truly those suchgerats are the heroes of the day, their machines getting torn apart and dumping the Servbots into the water in time for the Balcon to manage to block the next attack!
(10:28:44 PM): (Werter, Kinkaid)
Tengusaur 10:28 pm
(10:28:52 PM): Werter: "The enemy leader doesn't use his strongest robot yet. Noted."
(10:28:55 PM): (enemy count?)
Fri Freeman 10:29 pm
(10:29:15 PM): Servbots in suchgerats: Noo!! Our machines are leaking everyone! We're drowning, abandon ship!
(10:29:23 PM): Tron: You can't even drown!
ZebulonCrispi 10:29 pm
(10:29:42 PM): Timaeus: "Leave their leader to me!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:30 pm
(10:30:09 PM): Lowe: "Seems the surface is tougher to handle than you expected! I'd run away if I were you!"
EricOverbringer 10:30 pm
(10:30:43 PM): *X-1 turns on the nearest Neleus that no doubt wants the gundam off the carrier and opens fire with quad vulcans before it can make its move.+
wyverncakes 10:31 pm
(10:31:31 PM): (Enemies: Neleus x 6 (one damaged/stunned on Gigafloat), High Neleus (Gaederius), Hydra x 2 (one severely damaged, one with medium damage)
(10:32:02 PM): Gaederius: "Say that again once Atlantis's weapons of war reclaim the oceans from you, Drowner! The day will come, and soon!"
Tengusaur 10:32 pm
(10:32:29 PM): *Werter creates a solid plasma surfboard, throws it into the water and starts surfin'! Yes, he's cheating - it moves on its own. He heads towards the less damaged Hydra, summoning Prometheus' drill lance on the way, scooping Servbots on the way and slashing whatever Neleuses are close with the edge of the board. &
HyprKnux 1 10:33 pm
(10:33:13 PM): Coop: "Uh, hate to break it to ya, but, ah... we're seriously kicking your butt."
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:24 PM): [Kinkaid] And the Neleus gets pelted by those vulcans, tearing open small holes in the machine that the seawater quickly seeps into. And unlike the X-1, the machine has no option but to sink... sink further into the depths! But there's no time to celebrate, not when another Neleus suddenly erupts from the other side of the Hydra, stabbing at the damaged Gundam with its spear!
(10:33:29 PM): (React: Kinkaid)
Spirit of Justice 10:33 pm
(10:33:43 PM): #
EricOverbringer 10:33 pm
(10:33:48 PM): (Naw I got it)
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:54 PM): (Alright. Denied)
Spirit of Justice 10:34 pm
(10:34:00 PM): (alright)
EricOverbringer 10:34 pm
(10:34:47 PM): *The vulcan attack left the Gundam's hands free, which Kincaid had taken advantage of to pull out a pair of beam sabers. With one saber, he parried the spear while the other went to slash the attacker's arm off!+
wyverncakes 10:34 pm
(10:34:55 PM): [Werter] The remaining Neleus's bank and try to evade, but one still gets a nasty scar from Prometheus's lance... but the Hydra still has some fight left in it, and more missiles and torpedos are sent at Prometheus to blow it out of the water!
(10:35:02 PM): (React/Continue: Werter)
wyverncakes 10:36 pm
(10:36:27 PM): [Kinkaid] All the Neleus manages to do to the X-1 is a minor scrape; nothing compared to what it's already suffered in fact! The X-1's too fast, and the Neleus quickly finds itself literally disarmed by the Gundam!
(10:36:40 PM): Meanwhile!
Tengusaur 10:36 pm
(10:36:41 PM): *Werter raises the board to use it as a shield against the projectiles, but he doesn't waste time waiting to get hit. He jumps and lands on the Hydra, attacking it with the spinning drill lance! +
wyverncakes 10:36 pm
(10:36:59 PM): ???: "... So... enough of them have been drawn off Gigafloat. Perfect."
EricOverbringer 10:37 pm
(10:37:36 PM): Kincaid kicks the disarmed Neleus aside to jump back to Gigafloat before Werter can sink his perch
Tengusaur 10:38 pm
(10:38:03 PM): Werter: "You better retreat if you know what's good for you."
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:05 PM): And suddenly explosions erupt all over the edges of Gigafloat, systematically destroying all of the lifeboats and other escape vehicles!
Tengusaur 10:38 pm
(10:38:18 PM): Werter: "What the?!"
Spirit of Justice 10:38 pm
(10:38:29 PM): Gai: "Did they get past us?!"
HyprKnux 1 10:38 pm
(10:38:30 PM): Coop: "I didn't do it!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:38 pm
(10:38:41 PM): Lowe: "A second wave of attackers?!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:38 pm
(10:38:59 PM): Timaeus: "Attacking at a time like this? How sinister!"
EricOverbringer 10:39 pm
(10:39:08 PM): Kincaid: "What now!?"
VJockey 10:39 pm
(10:39:29 PM): Michael: It's like the fourth of July except the fireworks aren't supposed to be blowing up!
wyverncakes 10:39 pm
(10:39:30 PM): [Werter] The board's rocked, damaging Prometheus somewhat though it nevertheless manages to impale the Hydra with its weapon!
(10:40:06 PM): And indeed, a number of mobile suits erupt from beneath the waves!
wyverncakes 10:40 pm
(10:40:30 PM): First and foremost is a strange mobile suit... it's the Gold Frame!
(10:40:34 PM): Or at least... what it's become
(10:40:46 PM): (Gold Frame: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/astray/mbf-p01-re-incomplete.jpg)
VJockey 10:41 pm
(10:41:13 PM): Michael: Hey! Complaining Ruler of the Ocean guy! If you're so uptight about guys in your water then what the heck are these guys doing here?
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:13 PM): Accompanying it afterwards are a pair of Deep Forbidden Gundams (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-msv/gat-706s.jpg)
cubey@aol.pl 10:41 pm
(10:41:35 PM): Lowe: "You again!"
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:40 PM): And lastly, remaining in the water are a set of eight Aqua GMs. (http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/m-msv/rag-79.jpg)
HyprKnux 1 10:41 pm
(10:41:58 PM): Coop: "Uh, they're not here to help, are they?"
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:07 PM): ???: "This will be the last time we have to face, pilot of P02. And same goes to you, P03 pilot."
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:38 PM): For the record!
Tengusaur 10:42 pm
(10:42:42 PM): Werter: "Can this wait? If you haven't noticed, we're in the middle of fighting off a terror from the deep."
wyverncakes 10:42 pm
(10:42:44 PM): Gold Frame is STILL missing its right arm!
(10:43:00 PM): All those upgrades and it still couldn't get an extra limb
HyprKnux 1 10:43 pm
(10:43:05 PM): Coop: "...you're gonna fight us with one arm? Dude, that's awesome!"
wyverncakes 10:43 pm
(10:43:15 PM): ???: "That does not matter... Atlantean forces!"
VJockey 10:43 pm
(10:43:23 PM): Michael: I'm agreeing with the Big Guy. That IS awesome!
wyverncakes 10:43 pm
(10:43:38 PM): ???: "Do not associate us with these enemies of yours, we are here for the same reason: the destruction of Gigafloat!"
VJockey 10:43 pm
(10:43:50 PM): Michael:....Less awesome.
cubey@aol.pl 10:43 pm
(10:43:53 PM): Lowe: "No time to cheer for the bad guys - the Gold pilot wanted to kill me once already!"
(10:44:00 PM): "Not to mention, that!"
HyprKnux 1 10:44 pm
(10:44:20 PM): Coop: "Big time"
Tengusaur 10:44 pm
(10:44:25 PM): Werter: "I think it's obvious we won't let you do that. Do you have any idea how many people are on that thing?"
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:27 PM): ???: "And while you were all fighting, we took the liberty to place explosives all under Gigafloat itself, enough to destroy it ten times over! We've destroyed the escape craft to show our hand to you..."
EricOverbringer 10:44 pm
(10:44:49 PM): Kincaid: "What!?"
Tengusaur 10:44 pm
(10:44:57 PM): Werter: "...!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:45 pm
(10:45:11 PM): Timaeus: "Spoken like a true villain!"
wyverncakes 10:45 pm
(10:45:22 PM): ???: "Its destruction is non-negotiable. However... if the pilots of the Red and Blue Frames would self-destruct their machines here and now, we would be willing to arrange for their safe departure. I give you my word on this."
(10:45:45 PM): ???: "Not a bad deal, is it? Two mobile suits for the lives of all those innocent workers onboard?"
EricOverbringer 10:46 pm
(10:46:01 PM): Kincaid: *private line* "If that's true, then they've got us. We can't let all the people on board die for two mobile suits."
HyprKnux 1 10:46 pm
(10:46:17 PM): Coop: "...really? You guys are giving up that easily?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:46 pm
(10:46:27 PM): Lowe: "Tch... you bastard..." He's looking around, trying to find a solution for this predicament.

EricOverbringer 10:46 pm
(10:46:34 PM): "Can you defuse bombs?"
Overman Zappa 10:46 pm
(10:46:42 PM): (Private line) ???: Lowe, Gai Act as you see fit! There's nothing to fear from this kind of threat!
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:58 PM): (Note: this is a different ??? than the Gold Frame's pilot)
cubey@aol.pl 10:47 pm
(10:47:06 PM): Lowe: "Huh...?" That voice!
Tengusaur 10:47 pm
(10:47:10 PM): Werter: (also private line) "Can we trust he'll stick to his part of the deal? Wait, who's that?"
Spirit of Justice 10:47 pm
(10:47:16 PM): Gai: It's definitely....
Overman Zappa 10:47 pm
(10:47:25 PM): (Private line only to Gai and Lowe)
Tengusaur 10:47 pm
(10:47:35 PM): (disregard the second sentence then)
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:41 PM): (Free initiative for Gai and Lowe if they wish. Timaeus and Coop can also take their turns)
(10:48:15 PM): Gaederius: "Drowners willing to recognize the sanctity of the sea... Ha! At least it's good to know not all of you are hopeless lost causes!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:48 pm
(10:48:20 PM): "Okay then." Lowe talks on an open frequency, so the Gold Frame's pilot can hear him. "My response is..."
ZebulonCrispi 10:48 pm
(10:48:34 PM): (Is Gaederius's mech still in fish form?)
wyverncakes 10:48 pm
(10:48:44 PM): (It's in humanoid form)
ZebulonCrispi 10:48 pm
(10:48:51 PM): (Under or over water?)
wyverncakes 10:48 pm
(10:48:55 PM): (Under)
wyverncakes 10:49 pm
(10:49:27 PM): (Enemy lineup: Neleus x 5 (one disarmed), High Neleus (Gaederius, damaged), Hydra x 2 (both severley damaged), Aqua GM x 8, Deep Forbidden x 2, Gold Frame (???))
cubey@aol.pl 10:49 pm
(10:49:30 PM): *Red Frame charges forward, its blade slashing at the gold Astray! "Learn to cover your weak spots! Didn't your mom ever tell you that?" Indeed, Lowe attacks with a feint, aiming at the side where the enemy mobile suit misses its arm.+
ZebulonCrispi 10:49 pm
(10:49:38 PM): * Drawing trident and shield from its back, the Deucalion dives into the water, shifting from its somewhat clumsy land gait to the agility and grace of a dolphin beneath the waves!
HyprKnux 1 10:49 pm
(10:49:47 PM): Coop: "Look, as cool as it is seeing you fight us with only one arm? Ah... nope, not doing!" *And Coop pushes a button, a label reading "More likely to damage the Gigafloat" as missiles pop up from over Megas, target the Aqua GMs and FIRES!+

(10:50:06 PM): Lowe: "Don't worry, I got this!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:50 pm
(10:50:18 PM): * Manipulating the underwater currents to draw the two mechs together, Timaeus goes for a shield bash, followed by a trident stab - not aiming for the cockpit, of course. +
Spirit of Justice 10:50 pm
(10:50:25 PM): Gai: Request denied! *And with that outright refusal, Blue Frame suddenly takes several snap shots with its Gauss Rifle at the Deep Forbidden while also firing off several missiles at the poor Aqua GMs+
ZebulonCrispi 10:50 pm
(10:50:30 PM): (Two mechs = Deucalion and the High Neleus)
kamikasei has left the room. 10:50 pm
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:23 PM): [Lowe] "You're an even bigger fool than I thought, Red Frame pilot!" And the sound can be heard of a button being pressed inside of the Gold Frame... before it's pressed again and again. "What...? How did they disarm the-" The Gold Frame can only spring back, though it does take a shot at the Red Frame with its bazooka!
kamikasei has entered the room. 10:51 pm
wyverncakes 10:51 pm
(10:51:25 PM): (React: Lowe)
EricOverbringer 10:51 pm
(10:51:54 PM): Kincaid exhales. "Looks like lady luck's on our side this time."
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:13 PM): [Timaeus] With the water currents backing it up, Decualion drags the High Neleus into close confines and hits it hard with its shield! "Gaaah... I won't... lose to you father!" The spear grazes the High Neleus as it spins around into fish mode, firing one of its torpedos at the Deucalion!
cubey@aol.pl 10:53 pm
(10:53:14 PM): *Red Frame continues with the assault, taking advantage from the fact it's blindsiding the enemy. "I'm never out of backup plans!" Lowe tries to cut the distance, not giving the enemy a chance to aim the bazooka - or at least to hit the quickly-moving Astray. Cut the distance first, and the Gold Frame second!+
wyverncakes 10:53 pm
(10:53:16 PM): (React: Timaeus)
Overman Zappa 10:53 pm
(10:53:58 PM): Suddenly, taking no action at all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQgXvmtI_ug&feature=related
A black Gundam unveils itself! It's the Black Frame! No... wait... It's... (Feel free to say it in unison.)
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:37 PM): [Gai and Coop] The Deep Forbidden moves quickly, dodging the blast though its side shell gets scortched somewhat... but the GMs are far less lucky and three of them are blown apart by the missiles!
HyprKnux 1 10:54 pm
(10:54:37 PM): Coop: "It's... who are you again?"
Tengusaur 10:54 pm
(10:54:52 PM): Werter: "Oh hey, I guess this explains who disarmed the bombs. Good job."
ZebulonCrispi 10:54 pm
(10:54:54 PM): * The Deucalion dances on the currents, spiraling around the path of the torpedo to dodge past it! "You've got a long way to go, boy!"
wyverncakes 10:54 pm
(10:54:56 PM): ???: "YOU!"
ZebulonCrispi 10:54 pm
(10:54:56 PM): +
EricOverbringer 10:54 pm
(10:54:58 PM): Kincaid: "Schwarz Bruder!?"
Overman Zappa 10:55 pm
(10:55:09 PM): Schwarz: "You'll find that your dastardly trick won't be working today, Gundam Pilot!"
VJockey 10:55 pm
(10:55:18 PM): Michael: It's the masked German ninja dude!
wyverncakes 10:55 pm
(10:55:22 PM): (Michael, Tron)
EricOverbringer 10:55 pm
(10:55:37 PM): "Maybe there's something to that elusive bastard after all..."
wyverncakes 10:56 pm
(10:56:20 PM): [Lowe] The Red Frame slips in once again, its sword slashing down at the Gold Frame's right side... but suddenly the attack is stopped cold, the Gerbera Straight hanging there in seemingly midair as if an invisible force was holding it still!
(10:56:32 PM): ???: "... Ha... you actually fell for it!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:56 pm
(10:56:57 PM): Lowe: !!
wyverncakes 10:58 pm
(10:58:35 PM): [Lowe cont.] And the bazooka fires again, blowing the Red Frame away and tearing into its body and limbs! And at once the Gold Frame's arm suddenly decloaks, revealing the limb from... well since we never had Gundam SEED nobody knows it's from the Blitz Gundam, but it is! "A few months back, one of the Gundams ZAFT stole was destroyed not too far from Orb. My associates and I salvaged what we could from it. Mirage Colloid, phase shift, additional weapon... this is the fusion of a Gundam and an Astray; a weapon even your Red Frame cannot defeat!
VJockey 10:59 pm
(10:59:00 PM): Michael: *Michael of course thinks that Coop has the right idea, so what does he do? Pull out his Multi-Missile Launchers, Open up his weapon pods fully and proceeds to unleash EVERYTHING on the Mooks! ALL of THEM+ HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW!??!
Fri Freeman 10:59 pm
(10:59:26 PM): Tron: You cowards, that threat to unnecessarily kill the civilians was uncalled for! Suchgerats, follow that guy!
wyverncakes 10:59 pm
(10:59:38 PM): [Timaeus] And even though the Deucalion does evade the torpedo, when it spontaneously explodes the machine is still rocked by it! "And you understimate what I can do even in a High Neleus!"
cubey@aol.pl 11:00 pm
(11:00:14 PM): Lowe: "Guaaah!" He tries to stabilize his unit, but Red Frame falls down on the Float before he can do it. "Parts of this unit... can disappear now?!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:00 pm
(11:00:14 PM): Timaeus: "Curses!"
Fri Freeman 11:00 pm
(11:00:22 PM): *Balcon gerat and the surviving such gerats follow by opening all of their missile pods and launches as many missiles as possible too! *
wyverncakes 11:00 pm
(11:00:40 PM): (Who is Tron and her gerats shooting at?)
Tengusaur 11:01 pm
(11:01:13 PM): Werter: "Are you alright, Lowe?"
Fri Freeman 11:01 pm
(11:01:15 PM): (the mooks, he's following michael's example)
cubey@aol.pl 11:01 pm
(11:01:53 PM): Lowe: "Red Frame took a beating... what do we do now, 8!"
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:05 PM): [Micahel and Tron] And those mooks, fearing for their lives, dive deeper into the water only to get further chewed up by Tron's own attacks instead! At the same time the Deep Forbiddens rush at Metal Wolf! and when they get close enough their Phonon Masers fire, unleashing beams of heat and sound at the machine!+
(11:02:15 PM): (React: Michael)
(11:02:24 PM): ???: "And it's not just the arm, pilot!"
wyverncakes 11:02 pm
(11:02:43 PM): And then, the Gold Frame began to shimmer for a moment... before it completely vanished entirely!
(11:03:29 PM): ???: "The systems from the Blitz Gundam have been perfectly integrated into this suit, granting it powers beyond those of your patheitc Red Fram! It may be able to fly, yes, and it may possess a powerful sword, but that is all it has!"
(11:04:06 PM): (Werter, Kinkaid)
cubey@aol.pl 11:04 pm
(11:04:10 PM): 8: "ENEMY INCOMING!"
(11:04:18 PM): Lowe: "That's not helping! From which direction?!"
EricOverbringer 11:04 pm
(11:04:50 PM): *X-1 hurls a beamsaber at one of the Deep Forbidden Gundams. Even if it deflects the attack though, the enemy gundam would find X-1 itself right behind the thrown weapon, thrusting with the oversized beam-zanber!+
VJockey 11:05 pm
(11:05:28 PM): Michael: *The President of course still has his weapons out, so his response? Boost aside as best as he can to avoide the Maser blasts before levelling another storm of gunfire at the Hipster Forbiddens+ Should've brought my sunglasses!
Fri Freeman 11:06 pm
(11:06:26 PM): Servbots: Noo! Mister presidents!
(11:06:27 PM): *president
Tengusaur 11:06 pm
(11:06:31 PM): * "Need to think how to find a stealthy enemy... But this comes first!" Prometheus' arms glow with green plasma as he plunges them into the hole he made previously in the Hydra, and starts to rip the machine apart with great force! Werter doesn't want to blow it up, just wreck it completely so it can't move. +
wyverncakes 11:06 pm
(11:06:44 PM): [Kinkaid] The thrown saber is knocked aside by the Deep Forbidden's trident... but the beam zanber is another issue entirely and it cuts apart the weapon and guts the Forbidden! But it doesn't give up even then, blasting at Kinkaid point blank with the phonon masers!
(11:06:48 PM): (React: Kinkaid)
wyverncakes 11:09 pm
(11:09:10 PM): [Michael] The blasts are big though, bigger than Metal Wolf and the blast still grazes the small mech. Circuits and sections of the machine are blown off from the impact... but Michael manages to pay the Forbidden back as the machine is hammered by gunfire! Admittedly with a titanium body it's holding out okay, but it still has to fall back from that!
EricOverbringer 11:09 pm
(11:09:21 PM): *Kincaid flips on a brand marker and stabs one phonon maser so that he can dodge to where the beam used to be.+
kamikasei has left the room. 11:09 pm
EricOverbringer 11:09 pm
(11:09:43 PM): He'll probably take some hits there, but hopefully he can minimize it
kamikasei has entered the room. 11:09 pm
wyverncakes 11:10 pm
(11:10:11 PM): [Werter] As Prometheus does begin to tear into the Hydra, one of the Neleus's from before hurles its shield at Prometheus to stun it... just as another two move in from behind to gut the machine with their spiers!
(11:10:15 PM): (React: Prometheus!)
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:08 PM): [Kinkaid] Indeed the X-1 does take a fairly nasty hit in exchange for destroying one of the masers as one of its arms is blown apart... and since they're not lasers the anti-beam cloak is useless in stopping the attack... but the X-1 is still otherwise intact!
Tengusaur 11:12 pm
(11:12:13 PM): (is it a shield bash or a Captain America-style shield throw?)
wyverncakes 11:12 pm
(11:12:44 PM): (Captain America-style shield throw)
Tengusaur 11:14 pm
(11:14:30 PM): * Prometheus leaps high up like a giant white grasshopper, to avoid the shield and make it hit the two Neleuses behind him instead! After the landing Werter continues his work on the Hydra.+
wyverncakes 11:14 pm
(11:14:52 PM): (Coop, Timaeus)
(11:16:15 PM): [Werter] It's a clever tactic, and one that does manage to knock them both away... but in their final moments before the impact the Neleus's crash their spears together in an effort to salvage something, triggering an explosion that scorches both Prometheus while also blasting apart a good chunk of the Hydra!
wyverncakes 11:16 pm
(11:16:34 PM): Gaederius: "Dammit, fall back! We shall continue the fight without you!"
(11:16:53 PM): And indeed, the wounded Hydra begins to limp away from the fight as best it can!
Tengusaur 11:17 pm
(11:17:05 PM): Werter: "Worth it."
ZebulonCrispi 11:17 pm
(11:17:36 PM): * Abandoning the shield for now, the Deucalion forms a near-invisible water sword in its off hand and accelerates to try and match speeds with the fishy High Neleus, slashing and stabbing whenever it gets close. +
HyprKnux 1 11:18 pm
(11:18:04 PM): Coop: "How about a better idea: WATER FIGHT!" *and the Megas turns around to face the Atlantian forces, raises its arms and SLAMS THE OCEAN, intending on knocking around the forces+
Fri Freeman 11:18 pm
(11:18:44 PM): Thrownaround servbots: Stop doing thaat~ >.<
wyverncakes 11:19 pm
(11:19:55 PM): [Coop] And the impact does indeed cause the Neleus's to be thrown off-balance once again and grouped up all nice and neat... but it also exposes Coop to fire from the Aqua GMs as they fire another volley of torpedos at the now submerged Megas!
(11:20:00 PM): (React: Coop)
HyprKnux 1 11:21 pm
(11:21:28 PM): Coop: And Coop catches sight of the torpedos. "Oh, two can play at this!" *And another button is pressed - "Intercept torpedos" - and a few missiles appear and launch out the best they can to intercept those!+
wyverncakes 11:21 pm
(11:21:34 PM): [Timaeus] Gaederius's machine twists and moves as much as it can around the attacks, but it quickly becomes clear that the aquatic blade is landing more and more minor hits to it.... "Enough, father!" Gaederius snaps as the High Neleus switches to humanoid form before harpoonspamming at the Deucalion, and then tossing an explosive spear at the machine for good measure!
(11:22:39 PM): (Lowe, Gai)
cubey@aol.pl 11:23 pm
(11:23:48 PM): *Meanwhile, Lowe is busy with his own problems. Mainly, an invisible MS that will probably gut him if given a chance.
wyverncakes 11:24 pm
(11:24:11 PM): [Coop] And the torpedos are indeed intercepted thanks to Megas's handy functions... but blasting through the resulting explosion come a string of hand anchors hurled from the GMs, all of them hooked and aiming to cut into Megas's body!
(11:24:13 PM): (React again: Coop)
Spirit of Justice 11:24 pm
(11:24:45 PM): Gai: Try luring him into the water Lowe!
ZebulonCrispi 11:25 pm
(11:25:17 PM): (react Tim?)
cubey@aol.pl 11:25 pm
(11:25:46 PM): *His first priority is changing the "invisible thing". "The arm's busted pretty badly anyway, might as well!" From its left arm, Red Frame sprays hydraulic fluid all around, while Lowe looks to see if it sticks to anything that should not be there.&
cubey@aol.pl 11:26 pm
(11:26:08 PM): "Got it! Easier said than done, though..."
wyverncakes 11:26 pm
(11:26:10 PM): (Oh right. React: Timaeus)
HyprKnux 1 11:26 pm
(11:26:22 PM): Coop: "Oh, c'mon!" *And Coop's going to try to boost out of the water - a little on the hard side, but hey, it's better than getting hooked like some fish!+
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:24 PM): [Lowe] The fluid squrits out everywhere... but it doesn't seem to catch anything at all. "Up here." And no sooner are the words uttered does a bazooka shell suddenly erupt out of empty air, hurtling straight at the Red Frame!
(11:27:28 PM): (React: Lowe)
Tengusaur 11:27 pm
(11:27:38 PM): #
wyverncakes 11:27 pm
(11:27:42 PM): (Approved)
ZebulonCrispi 11:27 pm
(11:27:57 PM): * Keeping his head under pressure, Timaeus changes direction on a dime, intrepidly charging straight towards the High Neleus! Prioritizing dodging the spear, he'll take a couple harpoon hits if it means he can run the mech through... +
Tengusaur 11:28 pm
(11:28:13 PM): * "Gotcha!" Werter throws a chunk of the Hydra he ripped off towards the shell, to make it harmlessly explode in mid-air! +
wyverncakes 11:28 pm
(11:28:58 PM): [Coop] Megas moves quickly... but the GMs had a head start and a few of the hooks stab into Megas's body and arms! The machine's boosters struggle from the strain... but they do manage to break free, even if the hooks have warped more than a bit of the metal on Megas!
HyprKnux 1 11:29 pm
(11:29:45 PM): Coop: "Again? Alright, ONE of you guys is gonna have to pay for the body work after this!"
Spirit of Justice 11:29 pm
(11:29:54 PM): *Blue Frame continues to lurk underwater, watching for a sign of Gold Frame’s position until the bazooka round suddenly heads for Lowe before firing at where the shot might’ve come from+
wyverncakes 11:30 pm
(11:30:16 PM): [Timaeus] It's a daring gamble, with Deucalion getting skewered by harpoon after harpoon! "You've lost your edge father! You would've never been hit by those befo-" And it's too late that he realizes that the High Neleus is run through, and panic begins to move into his voice. "F-father...!"
ZebulonCrispi 11:30 pm
(11:30:57 PM): Timaeus: "You can't defeat me with skills like that!"
wyverncakes 11:31 pm
(11:31:21 PM): [Werter and Gai] The explosion does indeed snag something, and a splash is heard as a figure (read: the Gold Frame) is knocked into the water, where its invisibility doesn't do it any good!
Canta Akino has left the room. 11:31 pm
cubey@aol.pl 11:31 pm
(11:31:26 PM): *"Gah!" Lowe's unit mobilizes what little juice it had to jump back and evade the enemy attack. But... it's not all - while the left arm was busy spraying various fluids around, the right was generating energy in its palm. Energy he shoots out in Gold Frame's direction now!+
wyverncakes 11:31 pm
(11:31:29 PM): (If Gai would like to take another turn, he can)
Spirit of Justice 11:31 pm
(11:31:44 PM): (will do)
kamikasei has left the room. 11:33 pm
wyverncakes 11:33 pm
(11:33:18 PM): [Lowe] ... And with that opening, the Red Frame's hand slams into the Gold Frame's left arm! The energy channeled into it elicits a grunt of frustration from the Gold Frame's pilot as the limb is blown apart... though he's quick to kick the Red Frame away so as to not follow up on that attack!
kamikasei has entered the room. 11:33 pm
wyverncakes 11:35 pm
(11:35:22 PM): (Michael, Tron)
Spirit of Justice 11:35 pm
(11:35:40 PM): Gai: Your Colloid’s no good down here *Underwater? Gold Frame’s pilot might as well have held up a ‘shoot me’ sign as Gai could see him clear as day now. Which was why Blue Frame fired everything at him+
VJockey 11:36 pm
(11:36:58 PM): Michael: *drops all his empty weapons to the ground of the Giga-Float to draw a pair of assault rifles, dashing forward and leaping into the air- firing them John Woo styke at the Deep Forbiddens that were better when they were underwater+
cubey@aol.pl 11:37 pm
(11:37:03 PM): Lowe: "I'm leaving the rest up to you, Gai!" He can only smile in satisfaction now, despite feeling blood in his mouth.
Fri Freeman 11:37 pm
(11:37:08 PM): (enemyo count?)
wyverncakes 11:37 pm
(11:37:35 PM): [Gai] And indeed, the Gold Frame is forced to fall back, firing a few parting darts from its arm while the Aqua GMs provide firing support
(11:38:48 PM): (Enemy list: Neleus x 5 (4 damaged), High Neleus (Gaederius, severely damaged), Hydra x 1 (severely damaged), Aqua GM x 6, Deep Forbidden x 2 (both damaged), Gold Frame (damaged))
(11:39:18 PM): (Lowe: downed)
Tengusaur 11:40 pm
(11:40:42 PM): Werter: "Damn, you better be safe when all this is over!"
wyverncakes 11:40 pm
(11:40:52 PM): [Michael] The Deep Forbiddens do form up and retreat back underwater... at which point they both fire a pair of torpedoes at Gigafloat around the location where Metal Wolf's located... though one of them gets one of its shells torn off from the hail of gunfire!
(11:41:00 PM): (React: Michael)
Fri Freeman 11:41 pm
(11:41:03 PM): Tron: Alright, everyone, buy me time! Power up the bonne cannon!
cubey@aol.pl 11:42 pm
(11:42:18 PM): Lowe: "I'm still alive here! But Astray's all outta power..."
VJockey 11:42 pm
(11:42:22 PM): Michael: *does the opposite of sensible. He rushes STRAIGHT AT THE TORPEDOES to SNATCH THEM OUT OF THE WATER and CHUCK THEM BACK!+
Fri Freeman 11:42 pm
(11:42:47 PM): *The suchgerats attempts to distract the enemies by splashing around in one side, while something opens up at Balcon Gerat and it's now glowing with green energy!
EricOverbringer 11:43 pm
(11:43:13 PM): Kincaid: "Do you need someone to extract you or anything?"
Fri Freeman 11:43 pm
(11:43:44 PM): Tron: Fire Bonne Cannon!
EricOverbringer 11:43 pm
(11:43:53 PM): *at Lowe*
Fri Freeman 11:43 pm
(11:43:56 PM): And it launches an energy shot toward the surviving hydra!
(11:44:03 PM): (no, not fire bonne cannon at lowe)
(11:44:25 PM): +
wyverncakes 11:45 pm
(11:45:17 PM): [Michael] TRULY THAT IS THE MOST SENSIBLE THING TO DO! And Metal Wolf does grab them, one by one and hurles them back... but then- "GAH! Self-destruct them! Now! Before they get any closer!" The Deep Forbidden pilots scramble and the missiles explode between Metal Wolf and the Gundams, knocking Metal Wolf against the submerged part of Gigafloat while the machines are blasted somewhat by the explosions, water starting to seep into them!
cubey@aol.pl 11:45 pm
(11:45:48 PM): Lowe: "I'm fine, you guys focus on driving the attackers out before Giga Float pulls itself apart!"
VJockey 11:46 pm
(11:46:31 PM): Michael: [Is rattled against the submerged section. He thinks he might have bit the inside of his cheek or something because he can taste a little blood.].. Whooboy..anyone get the number of that bus?
wyverncakes 11:46 pm
(11:46:37 PM): [Tron] The blast hurtles through the water, surging at the vessel as it tries desperately to go down with a fight, firing more missiles at the Balcon Gerat! But Tron's shot nevertheless strikes true, hitting the Hydra and blowing it sky-high in an explosion even water couldn't stop from looking cool! Still got those missiles and torpedos to worry about though
(11:46:40 PM): (React: Tron )
(11:46:54 PM): (Werter, Kinkaid)
EricOverbringer 11:47 pm
(11:47:14 PM): *Kincaid moves for the Aqua GM that looks like it's paying the least amount of attention to him and runs it through with the beam-zanber.+
wyverncakes 11:48 pm
(11:48:55 PM): [Kinkaid] And indeed, considering the damaged stage the X-1's in, the pilot probably wrote the Gundam off as a lost cause. And for that the GM gets skewered nastily, its pilot's cries becoming garbled as water floods into its cockpit.
Fri Freeman 11:49 pm
(11:49:14 PM): Tron: Gah, defensive fire everyone!
Tengusaur 11:49 pm
(11:49:35 PM): *Werter dives underwater, and creates several plasma tentacles for improved movement in this terrain. Tentacles that are now extending towards a pair of GMs, aiming to grab and pull off their limbs! +
Fri Freeman 11:49 pm
(11:49:53 PM): *The only thing Balcon Gerat can do now is to activate all of its vulcan turrets and tries too shoot as many missiles or torpedoes as possible*
(11:49:54 PM): +
wyverncakes 11:51 pm
(11:51:44 PM): [Tron] The hail of fire you throw up is an admirable effort to stem the tide, but the Hydra's crew spared not one weapon when its death became immenent! A few of the missiles hit too close to home, compromising the hull of the Balcon as water begins to seep in! You'd be wise to surface to try to minimize the water coming in!
Fri Freeman 11:52 pm
(11:52:13 PM): Servbots: We're leaking!
(11:52:23 PM): Tron: Emergency surfacing maneuver, now!
wyverncakes 11:53 pm
(11:53:09 PM): [Werter] And seeing Prometheus with those tentalces definitely elicits panicked responses from the GM pilots, all of them firing at the Super Robot to ward it off even though two of them do get ensnared... but don't celebrate yet, Werter, because a Deep Forbidden's changing targets to focus on you, blasting you with a phonon maser shot!
(11:53:11 PM): (React: Werter)
(11:53:15 PM): (Coop, Timaeus)
HyprKnux 1 11:53 pm
(11:53:34 PM): (Enemy count plz?)
wyverncakes 11:54 pm
(11:54:29 PM): (Enemy list: Neleus x 5 (4 damaged), High Neleus (Gaederius, severely damaged), Aqua GM x 5, Deep Forbidden x 2 (both damaged), Gold Frame (damaged))
Tengusaur 11:55 pm
(11:55:10 PM): * "Don't underestimate me." Prometheus' hands are free during this attack, so while he swings to the side Werter can use them to create a plasma field. Which he does. +
HyprKnux 1 11:56 pm
(11:56:27 PM): Coop: "Alright, now which one of you want to pay for the damages?" *another button press and Coop (and everyone else) is treated to an interesting sight - the Freeze Cannon. Which creates a massive iceburg. "Huh... didn't expect that..." With that, the Megas slams into it, intending on plowing through the underwater Aqua GMs... and anything else in its way+
ZebulonCrispi 11:57 pm
(11:57:13 PM): * From his position having pierced Gaederius's mech, he plants one foot on it, grabs one of its arms, and pulls to tear it clean off! +
wyverncakes 11:57 pm
(11:57:38 PM): [Werter] The maser strikes the plasma field... but it's in the water that the Deep Forbidden is at its strongest and the same goes for its maser, which still manages to work its way through the barrier and pound Prometheus, knocking it back and letting it become an easy target for the remaining three limbed GMs!
(11:57:41 PM): (React again: Werter)
(11:59:01 PM): [Coop] Aaaaand that tactic does manage to crush one of the GMs attacking Werter, along with one that'd been tentacle'd up! But as Megas is doing that, the remaining Neleus's move in to attack the blue machine as well, hurling the last of their spears at him!
(11:59:04 PM): (React: Coop)
EricOverbringer 11:59 pm
(11:59:32 PM): (Is there anything left on the surface?)
wyverncakes 11:59 pm
(11:59:40 PM): (Nothing. Everything's underwater)
HyprKnux 1 12:00 am
(12:00:08 AM): (Coop: "Whoops")
Tengusaur 12:00 am
(12:00:32 AM): * "Don't let me underestimate you, either." Werter quickly spins Prometheus around, using the tentacles to create a corkscrew effect and get out of the way as a green tornado!+
HyprKnux 1 12:00 am
(12:00:58 AM): Coop: "Oh, no you don't!" *and the Megas goes to grab the harpoon before it can connect+
wyverncakes 12:01 am
(12:01:54 AM): [Timaeus] In a very, very tough bind, the damaged High Neleus struggles against Deucalion before finally ejecting its other torpedo! "Even if you have a stronger machine, even if you have more experience... Father even if Fate humors your misguided efforts to protect those that are not worthy of it... I WILL NOT LET MYSELF BE DEFEATED HERE!" And as the arm is torn off the torpedo explodes, blowing both of you apart and further damaging both of you! Timaeus, when you recover from the shock you'll see the wounded High Neleus fleeing away from you, Gaederius determined to carry on the fight another day.
(12:03:38 AM): [Werter] And thanks to Coop's efforts the missile attack is lessened enough for Prometheus to get out relatively fine with only a few scorches from blasts! However...
ZebulonCrispi 12:03 am
(12:03:39 AM): Timaeus is ready to pursue, but...
ZebulonCrispi 12:03 am
(12:03:57 AM): Timaeus: "No... what matters for now is protecting the landfarers!"
wyverncakes 12:04 am
(12:04:37 AM): [Coop] Admittedly ou did catch the first spear... but there's more than one to worry about and the remainders hit Megas, blowing up and rattling the machine as its arms and legs get steadily more and more wrecked!
HyprKnux 1 12:05 am
(12:05:10 AM): Coop: "...I knew I shoulda stayed in Jersey..."
wyverncakes 12:05 am
(12:05:45 AM): Gaederius: "Atlanteans, retreat! We will continue our war another day, when our weapons are primed and ready to finally dispense justice on those that would endanger our domain!"
wyverncakes 12:06 am
(12:06:12 AM): Considering the damage most of them are suffering and the fact their leader's in open retreat, the five shift to animal mode as well, speedily fleeing!
(12:06:30 AM): But in all of this confusion... where has the Gold Frame gone?
(12:06:34 AM): LOWE!
VJockey 12:06 am
(12:06:40 AM): Michael: *shakes his fist at Gaederius* YEAH! That's right SWIM AWAY! We'll kick your butts again next time too!
HyprKnux 1 12:06 am
(12:06:43 AM): Coop: "Ha! Yeah, you go run off with your fishy tails between your legs!"
wyverncakes 12:07 am
(12:07:34 AM): Red Frame's just barely functioning, its monitors flickering in and out, but you can definitely make out the black form of the Gold Frame as it returns to the surface of Gigafloat, advancing towards you!
Tengusaur 12:07 am
(12:07:45 AM): Werter: "That's one danger dealt with..."
wyverncakes 12:07 am
(12:07:46 AM): ???: "All of this... it's not gone nearly as well as I would've liked..."
(12:08:02 AM): ???: "Nevertheless... destroying at least one of the prototypes would-"
wyverncakes 12:08 am
(12:08:26 AM): No more talk or banter from the pilot, the Gold Frame lunges at you, claws bared!
(12:08:38 AM): (Open react if anyone wants to. Lowe included)
Fri Freeman 12:08 am
(12:08:52 AM): *Tron and the servbots are busy scooping water from balcon gerat with buckets now*
(12:09:27 AM): Tron: Huh, what, it's not over yet!?
cubey@aol.pl 12:09 am
(12:09:36 AM): Lowe: "Oh DAMMIT!"
Spirit of Justice 12:10 am
(12:10:00 AM): *Did Gold Frame forget about Gai? It must’ve forgotten about Gai because Blue Frame is advancing right behind it, opening fire with its Gauss Rifle+
cubey@aol.pl 12:11 am
(12:11:27 AM): *Red Frame has no power to use any of its weapons, and malfunctions too much for Gerbera Straight maneuvers. All Lowe can do is huddle his unit down, as if blocking - but what follows is a counterstrike, a powerful uppercut at Gold Frame's head!+
arachnion01@gmail.com has left the room. 12:11 am
wyverncakes 12:14 am
(12:14:14 AM): [Gai and Lowe] The blast pegs Gold Frame right in its back, knocking it off balance and forward! "WHAT?!? How did Blue Frame get behind-" Adn even the crippled Red Frame joins in, punching and tearing the Gold Frame's head clean off! The machine stumbles back, its pilot growling in anger. "You.. won't keep escaping from me. Either of you!" And with that the machine cloaks once more and makes a break for it. On the distant west of of Gigafloat the sounds of a splash are heard, while the remaining forces accompaniying the Gold Frame retreat as well.
(12:15:00 AM): A few moments pass, with no further enemies unknown launching an attack...
VJockey 12:15 am
(12:15:29 AM): Michael: Well I'd say we've won. Unless another underwater invasion happens
wyverncakes 12:15 am
(12:15:42 AM): And it becomes clear that the fighting is over for now, and fortunately the damage inflicted to Gigafloat minor compared to what could have happened.
EricOverbringer 12:15 am
(12:15:54 AM): Kincaid: "Whew."
wyverncakes 12:16 am
(12:16:15 AM): Gigafloat is saved, as well as its construction crews as well, and a new friend has made himself known to the Chalice!
(12:16:18 AM): MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
vertigojockey@gmail.com has left the room. 12:16 am
EricOverbringer has left the room. 12:16 am
HyprKnux 1 12:16 am
(12:16:49 AM): Coop: "...y'know, that was actually fun. I think I'm gonna like it hanging with you guys!"
Spirit of Justice 12:16 am
(12:16:50 AM): Gai: You alright in there Lowe?
cubey@aol.pl 12:17 am
(12:17:03 AM): Lowe leaves the cockpit, weak on his knees. For a second it looks like he's going to fall down, into the water or something... but that would be just silly.
(12:17:10 AM): "Yeah, somehow..."
(12:17:17 AM): "I told you, I always have a backup plan prepared!"
