For Planeocracy (Again)

1) [So there's this short girl who LOOKS like she's in middle school... carrying a stack of paper large enough to almost completely obscure her from view.]

NNWHOA--

[Or she WAS, until you bumped into her, sending paper flying EVERYWHERE. The gust of wind that comes through immediately afterwards does not help at all, and Konata's jumping around

Ha! Once I get the advantage I never give it up!

[ Katina's about as intense about this as she usually is in a real battle. Hope you've got some sturdy controllers, because she's going all out on the joystick. ]

1/2

[... dat joystick]

2/2

[d_drive_love]

[Wait, no, MORE IMPORTANT THINGS RIGHT NOW- like trying to get her in-game mecha- a Real Robot type- to keep dodging so as to not explode]

Oh ye of little faith- these kinds of games are all about dramatic turnabouts!

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Katina's own selection is a have-lots-of-weapons-type, pressuring Konata with a volley of missiles. ]

Tell that to everyone I've beaten.

[ Except most of Earth's victories have been dramatic turnabouts. ]

[d_drive_love]

[Rollerblade treads shrieking like mad, Konata's mech rockets backwards at ridiculous speeds as it fires at the incoming missiles.]

C'mon, Katina, I bet YOU'VE got a win or two that was totally an underdog-style win~!

[About half of the missiles are knocked out of the air, and Konata-mech suddenly jumps, kicks off a rocky outcropping, and jinxes back in almost the complete opposite direction, losing rest of the missiles- but she still hasn't had room to fire back yet.]

[grandtheftmecha]

I've got every kind of win you can think of!

[ Katina pursues - the missiles are out of play, but it gives her a little time to close in, firing with a high-powered bazooka in an attempt to lead Konata into her shots. ]

[d_drive_love]

Really? You gotta tel- nnwhoa!!

[The first shot actually clips Konata's mech, knocking off a fair chunk of its life bar and causing it to spin out of control for a second, but she manages to get it back under control]

Lucky shot! That was totally luck!! Maybe! [Konata snaps off a few hastily-aimed beam rifle shots, more to get Katina off her tail rather than to actually do damage.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Konata DOES do damage, but only because Katina went with a bulkier model this time - the glancing beam shots aren't nearly as damaging as her own bazooka.

It gives her a little breathing room though, so Katina takes a few longer-ranged potshots to try and keep a counter-offensive at bay. ]

You sure you wanna listen to everything I have to say?

[d_drive_love]

Of course I want to hear about "The Epic Saga of the Iron Maiden, Katina Tarask"~!! - ah, you know, if you're okay with it and everything.

[Konata has a lot less trouble with these shots, though she knows that it's probably a matter of time before Katina feels out the range; the otaku takes the opportunity to make for an outcropping of boulders, doing her 'driving backwards' trick again to keep up a steady barrage of weak beams flying at Katina.]

[grandtheftmecha]

You make it sound way too fancy.

[ Death by a thousand cuts isn't going to get the job done in this particular situation - she's putting on some speed now, as slow as it is to build up, making it harder for Konata to get where she's going. ]

And Iron Maiden, huh?

[d_drive_love]

There's no such thing as 'too fancy' when it comes to these sorts of stories! And cool nicknames are just icing on the cake!

[Konata's mech suddenly reverses direction, swaps to what looks like a mech-scaled shotgun, and holds her ground for a moment as she starts firing spreadshots right into the charging Katina's path.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Eh, I guess it fits at least.

[ Katina can't exactly stop on a dime, so the spread gets in some solid hits even with her armor. She turns her charge into a side-strafe as quickly as possible, putting up another volley of missiles, even if a few are likely to get caught in the crossfire. ]

[d_drive_love]

Oh, so you agree that the name fits?

[Konata keeps up her fire until the last possible second, roller-treads shrieking as she sends her mech spinning out of the way; she takes a few glancing shots, though, putting her health straight into the red.]

[One more good shot will put an end to it, but Konata's grinning like she's got something up her sleeve.]

[grandtheftmecha]

It's not the worst thing I've been called!

[ Konata's dodging is starting to put some stress on Katina's ammo, and she's having a hard time catching up to go melee - so it's back to the bazooka, only with far more carefully placed shots. ]

[d_drive_love]

Eh? You've been called worse things?

[Konata frowns at the more accurate bazooka shots- it's now or never, all or nothing.]

- take this! My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow!! BIG BANG PUNCH!!

[She activates her super that she just told Katina that she was going to use, causing her mech to lock down into place once again and aim its shoulder-mounted cannons at Katina, and fire streams of energy that in no way resembles a punch.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Yeah, it's just part of-

[ Oh shit hotblooded battlecry and... ]

That doesn't even match the weapon!

[ Unfortunately, Katina's so busy with her outburst that she nearly gets taken down entirely by that one shot. ]
