wyverncakes 9:10 pm
(9:10:17 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr3yRv6bO-w
(9:10:27 PM): Okay then!
wyverncakes 9:11 pm
(9:11:18 PM): Everyone, you're making your way currently over some of the last jungles left in the Earth Sphere en-route to the destination that Chihaya requested.
(9:11:42 PM): You've broken off from the Chalice and you left your friends behind you a while back, so you're just flying in your machines or hitching a ride
(9:12:19 PM): The plan's simple... you go and make yourself known and work on the hostage exchange, and while Chihaya and the Turiavita people are focused on you, the others swoop in and save the day!
(9:12:32 PM): So right now, how is everyone feeling?
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:12 pm
(9:12:48 PM): Extremely nervous.
Shaun Garin 9:12 pm
(9:12:51 PM): Eri is singing. "In da jungle da mighty jungle da lion sleeps tooniiiiiiight~"
HyprKnux 1 9:13 pm
(9:13:07 PM): Admittedly, Hana's nervous. Hostage situation and she has to help with this? Not good for her nerves.
Canta Akino has entered the room. 9:13 pm
Canta Akino 9:17 pm
(9:17:53 PM): Ren was tense. Hostage situations were his least favorite part of the job, and it weighed on him heavily that they had to be EXTREMELY careful with everything they did here.
wyverncakes 9:18 pm
(9:18:50 PM): Finally, you spot the clearing, the looming black figure of Nubilum on top of a plataeu. In front of it, the smaller, assorted figures of both hostages and hostage takers.
(9:19:11 PM): (Nubilum: http://i.imgur.com/9LANZ.jpg)
HyprKnux 1 9:19 pm
(9:19:20 PM): Hana: "Hnn... i-it's them."
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:19 pm
(9:19:27 PM): "There's a lot of them..."
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:36 PM): First and foremost, standing there and watching you all arrive, is Chihaya once more.
Shaun Garin 9:19 pm
(9:19:38 PM): Eri: "Yep." She unwraps an lolipop and sucks on it.
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:40 PM): (Chihaya: http://randomc.net/image/Idolmaster%20XENOGLOSSIA/Idolmaster%20XENOGLOSSIA%20-%2012%20-%20Large%2023.jpg)
wyverncakes 9:19 pm
(9:19:53 PM): Behind her, the hostages... Yukiho and Ami
(9:20:02 PM): (Yukiho: http://www.animejb.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/hagimara_yukiho.png)
(9:20:12 PM): (Ami: http://randomc.net/image/Idolmaster%20XENOGLOSSIA/Idolmaster%20XENOGLOSSIA%20-%2009%20-%20Large%2019.jpg)
(9:20:32 PM): And lastly, behind them, several rows of black-clad men in masks with guns.
(9:20:37 PM): (Turiavita footsoldiers: http://s1110.photobucket.com/albums/h454/Steamrollerssolveall/?action=view¤t=Idolmasterfootsoldiers.jpg)
macprysm has left the room. 9:21 pm
Shaun Garin 9:21 pm
(9:21:25 PM): Eri silently flicks on a transmission feed imbedded into the broach on her front.
macprysm has been invited. 9:21 pm
wyverncakes 9:21 pm
(9:21:54 PM): There's sufficient room for all of you to land, and Chihaya seems to straighten as you approach.
macprysm has entered the room. 9:22 pm
speximillian has been invited. 9:22 pm
speximillian has entered the room. 9:22 pm
wyverncakes 9:23 pm
(9:23:04 PM): However, as her eyes scan your group, you can definitely see frustration cross her face, and she waits until you've all landed to speak up.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:23 pm
(9:23:15 PM): Haruka's still a bit worried as she takes the lift wire down from Imber's cockpit. But she's here, Imber's here, and everyone is in position...
wyverncakes 9:23 pm
(9:23:32 PM): "Only Imber." She's actually surprisingly ambivalent about that, as if she doesn't personally give two fucks about Nebula at all.
(9:23:39 PM): "I take it our intel was wrong then?"
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:25 pm
(9:25:17 PM): "Nebula's on his way." Technically not a lie. "We just wanted to make sure they were safe."
wyverncakes 9:26 pm
(9:26:17 PM): At that, Chihaya stepped to the side, giving you all a better view of Ami and Yukiho. "As said before, they're in roughly the same condition as you saw them last." And at that the soldiers raised their guns towards the two girls, both of them suddenly panicking somewhat.
(9:26:29 PM): "Provided you don't pull anything right now, then that'll stay that way."
HyprKnux 1 9:26 pm
(9:26:50 PM): Hana's trying her best not to react. Those people...
wyverncakes 9:26 pm
(9:26:57 PM): "Now then." Her eyes narrowed on Haruka. "You have something that belongs to me, don't you?"
Shaun Garin 9:27 pm
(9:27:07 PM): Eri's simply sucking on her lollipop. A cool expression on her face.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:27 pm
(9:27:12 PM): "Wh-what…?"
wyverncakes 9:27 pm
(9:27:16 PM): "Imber."
wyverncakes 9:27 pm
(9:27:24 PM): "He doesn't belong to you!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:27 pm
(9:27:47 PM): "That doesn't mean he belongs to you, either…"
Canta Akino 9:28 pm
(9:28:14 PM): "Just take it, then," Ren insisted, trying to keep Haruka's comment from setting off Chihaya
wyverncakes 9:28 pm
(9:28:33 PM): And at that Chihaya grit her teeth, stepping forward. "You... had *no* understanding of the bond he and I shared!"
Shaun Garin 9:28 pm
(9:28:55 PM): Eri snorted. "You guys are starting to sound like a pack of robosexuals."
HyprKnux 1 9:29 pm
(9:29:04 PM): Hana: "E-Eri...!"
wyverncakes 9:29 pm
(9:29:27 PM): And at that she suddenly turned her head somewhat, as if she was hearing something from a radio. And at that point her eyes suddenly flashed with something else.
(9:29:37 PM): At which point she turned back around to the soldiers.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:29 pm
(9:29:42 PM): "But I do! I've been piloting Imber, like you were, and I've been thinking, and…I think I know why he rejected you, and why he fought everyone in space..."
wyverncakes 9:29 pm
(9:29:50 PM): "They've found Nebula."
HyprKnux 1 9:30 pm
(9:30:00 PM): Hana: "...wha?"
wyverncakes 9:30 pm
(9:30:36 PM): But as the soldiers suddenly primed to pull the triggers on the hostages, Chihaya suddenly turned at Haruka! "DO NOT SPEAK FOR IMBER!"
(9:31:03 PM): "You're nothing but a brat, one who doesn't so much as understand what his favorite colors are! Guards!"
HyprKnux 1 9:31 pm
(9:31:13 PM): Hana: "No... NO!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:31 pm
(9:31:23 PM): "Stop this!"
wyverncakes 9:31 pm
(9:31:25 PM): But before anything else can happen, suddenly Yukiho charges forward, grabbing at Chihaya! "N-no... please!"
Canta Akino 9:31 pm
(9:31:26 PM): At this point, Ren had whipped out his card deck, holding it out to the nearest shiny metal. "Henshin!"
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:31 pm
(9:31:39 PM): "Imber isn't a tool for destruction! That's why he left you!"
(9:31:52 PM): "He wants to protect people, to keep them safe!"
Shaun Garin 9:32 pm
(9:32:31 PM): Eri yawned theatrically.
wyverncakes 9:33 pm
(9:33:19 PM): Yukiho: "Y-you've got the iDOLs anyways... s-so you promised... you promised me and Ami would be okay!"
(9:33:38 PM): Chihaya just glares down at the girl before grunting. "Makoto'd like it better this way anyways..."
wyverncakes 9:34 pm
(9:34:10 PM): And at that she just gestures, letting one of the soldiers kick Ami forward too. You've dodged the bullet there, and both of the girls begin to move towards Haruka and the others.
HyprKnux 1 9:34 pm
(9:34:39 PM): Hana: "Oh... oh, thank goodness..." she can't help but smile...
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:34 pm
(9:34:44 PM): Haruka breathes a sigh of relief. They can definitely pull this off.
speximillian has left the room. 9:35 pm
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:22 PM): The two hostages move forward, Chihaya watching both of them. Yukiho seems to stay with Chihaya for another moment, Ami passing her before continuing. However, Yukiho also seems to pause right in front of you, Haruka
macprysm has left the room. 9:35 pm
wyverncakes 9:35 pm
(9:35:34 PM): Yukiho: "It's... going to work out..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:35 pm
(9:35:41 PM): Haruka smiles.
Canta Akino 9:36 pm
(9:36:51 PM): "Come on," Ren urged the hostages, still very much on edge. "Let's get you home."
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:11 PM): And then suddenly Yukiho's hand lashes out, striking Haruka in the gut!
HyprKnux 1 9:37 pm
(9:37:31 PM): Hana: "HARUKA!"
wyverncakes 9:37 pm
(9:37:32 PM): Her hand then lashes out, and at once she springs back, with agility unbecoming of a girl looking so abused!
Shaun Garin 9:37 pm
(9:37:34 PM): Eri snorted. "Saw this coming."
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:37 pm
(9:37:59 PM): Haruka coughs and tries to regain her breath, the wind having just been knocked out of her. "Why…"
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:03 PM): And at that, she tosses something in the air to Chihaya... Haruka, it's your iDOL key!
macprysm has entered the room. 9:38 pm
wyverncakes 9:38 pm
(9:38:32 PM): Chihaya: "Don't forget the agreement!" And at that she crushes the object in her hands... right before the gunmen all open fire on you!
(9:38:37 PM): (React: Everyone!)
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:38 pm
(9:38:38 PM): Haruka's eyes widen in shock. "No way…"
Canta Akino 9:39 pm
(9:39:09 PM): # Haruka?
HyprKnux 1 9:39 pm
(9:39:38 PM): Hana: "Woah!" *and the PreDesu drops to the ground. Duck and cover!+
wyverncakes 9:39 pm
(9:39:39 PM): (Approved)
Shaun Garin 9:39 pm
(9:39:56 PM): *Eri flicks the lollipop into the crowd, aiming at the thickest pack. Over and over it goes, and her finger twitched. No one is expecting the Spanish Inquisition and NO ONE IS EXPECTING that tastless lemon lollipop was a plastic explosive -- and Eri hit the trigger. Oh yeah and she ducks behind the Desu.+
(9:40:27 PM): And then Eri replaces another one in her mouth.
Canta Akino 9:40 pm
(9:40:42 PM): *Ren's suit could put up with ordinary bullets well enough, so he forewent the Guard Vent and raced in front of Haruka to take the shots instead. It hurt, but it was a lot better than facing it without henshinning.+
Shaun Garin 9:41 pm
(9:41:32 PM): Oh yeah, and Eri makes a few wild poses. "I SUMMON THE GIANT ROBOT!" And Noir materializes.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:42 pm
(9:42:25 PM): The fact that she's just barely missed death has yet to register on Haruka. She's going to step backwards from Ren, and turn into a run at Imber.
wyverncakes 9:44 pm
(9:44:10 PM): [Everyone] The explosion scatters many of the footsoldiers, and all of you manage to evade getting perforated by bullets. Haruka, you hear the sounds of numerous rounds impacting harmlessly against Ren's cloak though, mere centimeters from your head... but you're okay!
(9:44:31 PM): But that's unfortunately when Nubilum begins to move again... but Chihaya's still on the ground...
(9:44:45 PM): Yukiho: "She's got Imber... she can finally..."
HyprKnux 1 9:45 pm
(9:45:14 PM): And Hana starts to scramble to her feet, ready to fight... as soon as her heart stop trying to escape from her chest.
(9:45:23 PM): Hana: "It's... it's not over yet..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:45 pm
(9:45:46 PM): If bullets are supposed to slow Haruka down, they don't. "No…not again…"
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:16 PM): And in the meantime, suddenly Chihaya makes her move!
Canta Akino 9:46 pm
(9:46:24 PM): "Stay back!" Ren shouted at Haruka. "Don't needlessly put yourself in danger!"
wyverncakes 9:46 pm
(9:46:35 PM): Like lightning she bolts past both of you, Ren and Haruka, and suddenly springs into Imber's cockpit!
(9:46:54 PM): Chihaya: "Imber... I've... I've come back to you!"
HyprKnux 1 9:46 pm
(9:46:54 PM): Hana: "...what is it with everyone moving so fast?!"
Shaun Garin 9:47 pm
(9:47:05 PM): Eri turns to Hana. "I'm putting the Noir on remote, go deal with them. COFFRET, MEPPLE, assist her. Ren, lets go."
wyverncakes 9:47 pm
(9:47:30 PM): And it's first order of business is to clear the air, swinging both of its fists to knock away the Endless PreDESUS!
(9:47:39 PM): (React: Hana, Eri)
(9:48:07 PM): And all in the meantime, Ami's just all but paralyzed in shock at what's going on. Suffice to say, she was a real hostage.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:48 pm
(9:48:29 PM): Haruka just watches on in shock. "Imber…" She starts clutching her head, and falls to her knees. "No, no, no, no! You can't leave me like this! Not you!"
HyprKnux 1 9:48 pm
(9:48:37 PM): Hana: "What the...?!" *The Desu raises its arms, trying to block the attack+
wyverncakes 9:49 pm
(9:49:04 PM): Tough luck, Haruka. Imber's not really resisting Chihaya at all.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:49 pm
(9:49:22 PM): "I don't want to be alone, not ever again…not again…"
Shaun Garin 9:49 pm
(9:49:29 PM): *Eri's mecha is just going to crackle with power as it swings right back at Imber, its wrist screaming with power. Eri made a tch noise and leaped backwards, vanishing into the mech as she took control. "Man I was looking forward to kicking some ass down there! Balls." And she threw the second plastic explosive treat at the enemy soliders, detonating it once it fell fell far enough.+
HyprKnux 1 9:50 pm
(9:50:19 PM): Hana: "...Haruka..." Oh, that's starting to boil her blood. Alone...
Shaun Garin 9:50 pm
(9:50:59 PM): "Level head, Hana. Lets focus on the big job here."
HyprKnux 1 9:51 pm
(9:51:16 PM): Hana: "...she hurt her. She hurt her!"
macprysm has left the room. 9:51 pm
wyverncakes 9:52 pm
(9:52:03 PM): [Eri and Hana] Yeah, you've pretty much blown most of the footsoldiers away, so at least Ren, Ami, and Haruka are safe for the moment. At the same time though, Desu Blanc gets blasted back by Imber's raw strength...
(9:52:48 PM): And then at that point, the machine begins to lift off as well, the raw thrust blowing both Ren and Haruka off their feet, and seperating them! The force is insane, Haruka, you might even pass out!
HyprKnux 1 9:52 pm
(9:52:57 PM): The Desu Blanc, even with all of that armor, could feel the strength knock them both for a loop.
wyverncakes 9:53 pm
(9:53:10 PM): And the blasts knocks both of you clean off the plataeu to fall to the forest countless feet below!
(9:53:15 PM): (React: Ren and Haruka)
cubey@aol.pl 9:53 pm
(9:53:27 PM): # Haruka
wyverncakes 9:54 pm
(9:54:13 PM): (Support: Devon)
cubey@aol.pl 9:54 pm
(9:54:33 PM): *A black shadow jumps from hiding, leaping straight at Haruka and catching the falling girl in a steady grip. "You've been had." Devon sounds calm under her armor.+
macprysm has entered the room. 9:55 pm
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:55 pm
(9:55:08 PM): Haruka whimpers slightly, watching the robots fighting above her. Ladies and gentlemen, Haruka Amami has left the building.
arachnion01@gmail.com 9:55 pm
(9:55:25 PM): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_7iRVtxui8&list=FLtrzer-EyDv5bZ_yyTrSAXQ&index=31&feature=plpp_video
Canta Akino 9:55 pm
(9:55:31 PM): *"ADVENT." Ren's freefall was broken as Darkwing arrived, attaching to his back. He hit a couple of branches before soaring up, looking for Haruka and sighing in relief when Devon caught her.+
wyverncakes 9:55 pm
(9:55:50 PM): [Devon and Haruka] It's a perfect catch. Needless to say though, the strain's still been a hell of a lot for poor Haruka, and at the same time, both Imber and Nubilum loom up in the air at all of you
(9:56:10 PM): Chihaya: "I suppose now we should help with the recovery of Nebula."
(9:56:46 PM): Chihaya: "But... at the same time..." Imber suddenly shifts to focus on all of you.
HyprKnux 1 9:56 pm
(9:56:58 PM): Hana: "...no...I won't let you..."
wyverncakes 9:57 pm
(9:57:04 PM): Yukiho: "That's right, we can't leave them alone, can we?"
(9:57:16 PM): (Lineup: Hana, Eri, Ren, Devon)
Shaun Garin 9:57 pm
(9:57:18 PM): Eri: "Tch. Let me say this to start: you have no idea who you're dealing with here."
wyverncakes 9:57 pm
(9:57:24 PM): (Enemy lineup: Imber, Nubilum)
wyverncakes 9:57 pm
(9:57:30 PM): (Current objective: defeat all enemies)
cubey@aol.pl 9:58 pm
(9:58:31 PM): Devon: "Do not expect to leave this battle alive. Those who raise arms with killing intent should be ready to die as well."
HyprKnux 1 9:58 pm
(9:58:41 PM): Hana: "You deceitful monsters... you have no right to have Imber!"
Shaun Garin 9:59 pm
(9:59:31 PM): Eri: "Hana, I'm releasing some seals. Looks like we need a little more power this time. Authorization 2-0-1-0 Desu Moonlight, direct interface uplink establish. Release seals primary 1 through 4. Unit Blanc and Noir. Engage."
TenebraeLunaXIII has left the room. 9:59 pm
wyverncakes 9:59 pm
(9:59:50 PM): Yukiho: "Chihaya has EVERY right to Imber!"
(10:00:02 PM): Oh dear, you seem to have triggered something in the faux-hostage.
(10:00:25 PM): "You have no idea what she's gone through... the suffering... the betrayel! She and Imber belong together and I... I'll see to it they stay that way!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:00 pm
(10:00:48 PM): Devon: "Ha. Ha ha."
Canta Akino 10:00 pm
(10:00:54 PM): "What is Chihaya to you?" Ren challenged. "Why are you fighting for her when she's willing to do this?"
cubey@aol.pl 10:00 pm
(10:00:56 PM): Devon: "You really are nothing but a stupid little girl, aren't you?"
HyprKnux 1 10:01 pm
(10:01:36 PM): Hana: "And I'll make sure Haruka gets back Imber! I am Nanohana Himesaki! I am the emissary of light, Desu Blanc! I won't let this evil go unpunished!"
Shaun Garin 10:02 pm
(10:02:00 PM): Eri: "Emmisary of light, Desu Noir. You are getting your face beat in. No hard feelings."
cubey@aol.pl 10:02 pm
(10:02:25 PM): Devon unceremoniously deposits Haruka on safe ground, next to... whatever was her name. The other hostage, matters not. "If your machines are so precious to you, let's see how you will manage to live seperated from them. Forever."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:02 pm
(10:02:51 PM): Haruka curls up into a ball at that.
wyverncakes 10:03 pm
(10:03:43 PM): Ami just nods weakly and holds Haruka... suffice to say she at least recognizes when someone's in worse condition than her
(10:03:49 PM): (Hana, Eri)
HyprKnux 1 10:05 pm
(10:05:05 PM): Hana: "I'll get Imber back... AND NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP ME!" *And Hana launches forward, intending on grappling with Nubilum and delivering a mighty boot to the head!+
Shaun Garin 10:06 pm
(10:06:06 PM): *Thrusters firing, the Noir shot forward at an incredible speed up overhead in a charging flip. Coming down, she blazed forward, the air parting as she launched a spectacular flurry of punches from behind.+ "Those who defile a young maidens dreams will be crushed!"
(10:06:56 PM): (target Imber sorry)
wyverncakes 10:07 pm
(10:07:00 PM): (Figured)
wyverncakes 10:08 pm
(10:08:06 PM): [Eri and Hana] Imber does get hammered from behind, Chihaya momentarily distracted by Hana's frontal assault... but as the fists pound Imber, without warning it suddenly jukes to the side... and Hana is suddenly on a direct course to hit the Noir instead!
(10:08:09 PM): (React: Eri and Hana)
(10:08:13 PM): (Ren, Devon)
Shaun Garin 10:08 pm
(10:08:51 PM): Eri: Do you think a little thing like this'll slow us down?!
cubey@aol.pl 10:09 pm
(10:09:35 PM): *Devon stays quiet. No need to draw attention to herself as she tries something like running around and behind Imber, and then trying to jump on his back with a ridiculously tall leap. Which is, by the way, what she just did.&
HyprKnux 1 10:09 pm
(10:09:57 PM): Hana: "ERI!" *and the Desu Blanc attempts to flip itself forward, catching onto Noir's shoulders and flip over her+
Shaun Garin 10:10 pm
(10:10:52 PM): Eri: "Hana!" *Grabbing Hana's hand as she flipped overhead, she incanted, "BLACK THUNDER!"&
wyverncakes 10:11 pm
(10:11:08 PM): [Devon] Speed and a small stature might be on your side, but on Chihaya's, there's a yandere backing her up as well, and as you move, there's a flash of light from the machine and a beam fired at you!
(10:11:11 PM): (React: Devon)
Canta Akino 10:11 pm
(10:11:11 PM): *"SWORD VENT. TRICK VENT." Desperate enough, Ren scanned two cards in succession, first summoning a bigger sword, and then making eight copies of himself. Imber was the bigger threat here, so all of the Knights flew around him, striking with their swords.+
HyprKnux 1 10:11 pm
(10:11:17 PM): Hana: "R-Right...! WHITE THUNDER!"
Shaun Garin 10:12 pm
(10:12:20 PM): *Eri smirked as she slammed her hand in an attempt to strike Imber. "PREDESU MARBLE SCREW!" And as everyone knows, a Marble Screw is a massive energy beam of twisting white and black energy.+
wyverncakes 10:12 pm
(10:12:28 PM): And in the meantime, you all are able to see the signs of a battle back where Miki and the others had been waiting!
wyverncakes 10:13 pm
(10:13:04 PM): And communications miraculously become restored as well!
HyprKnux 1 10:14 pm
(10:14:00 PM): Hana: As the communications kick back on... "Everyone! They got the Imber! We have to stop them!"

(10:14:03 PM): *"Hrm!" Devon's maneuverability is limited in air, but she can still Shift. Shift and also perform a sault-like maneuver to cut momentum and change the direction of her movement.+
wyverncakes 10:17 pm
(10:17:50 PM): [Ren, Eri, and Hana] And with Yukiho distracted with Devon, your assault all converges on Imber, slamming into it and managing to tear up some of its armor, the swords leaving knotches in its arms legs all the while!
(10:19:10 PM): [Devon] The shot only just grazes and passes through your arm thanks to the combination of shifting and evasion, but damned if it doesn't hurt like hell.
(10:19:30 PM): Chihaya: "At this rate... it might be better for the other fight to come to us...!"
(10:19:41 PM): Yukiho: "Either way, we'll beat them all, Chihaya!"
HyprKnux 1 10:20 pm
(10:20:36 PM): Hana: "In your dreams! You think you can win with stolen power?!"
Shaun Garin 10:21 pm
(10:21:11 PM): Eri: "Makes me sick you can just waltz in and try and take it."
wyverncakes 10:22 pm
(10:22:52 PM): Chihaya: "This isnt stolen power... STOLEN POWER IS WHAT HARUKA HAD WHEN SHE USED IMBER!"
(10:22:59 PM): In the meantime!
(10:23:22 PM): The battles against the two iDOL duos are getting fairly close now!
Shaun Garin 10:23 pm
(10:23:37 PM): Eri: "Yap yap yap."
wyverncakes 10:23 pm
(10:23:50 PM): (New initiative: Hana, Eri, Devon, Ren, Kamille, Cynthia, Luger, Miki)
cubey@aol.pl 10:24 pm
(10:24:08 PM): Devon falls down to the ground, her limbs spread wide in a landing. Nursing the hurt arm is something a weak person might do. Instead, she tries to figure out a way to get up and attack the machines close on.
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:13 PM): (Enemy lineup: Imber, Nubilum, Heims, Epimetheus)
Joseph Fischer 10:24 pm
(10:24:14 PM): Kamille: Status report! What the hell's going on?!
wyverncakes 10:24 pm
(10:24:43 PM): (Current objective: defeat all enemies)
HyprKnux 1 10:24 pm
(10:24:46 PM): Hana: "They got the Imber... I-I don't know what happened to Haruka, she's been silent since it all went down! The hostage situation was a major trap!"
Aero 10:25 pm
(10:25:09 PM): Miki: What do you mean by got Imber?
wyverncakes 10:25 pm
(10:25:20 PM): As the various iDOLs begin to drift closer though, anyone with any kind of sensors would notice that gravity around here is starting to get reaaaaally weird...
(10:25:25 PM): (At any rate: Hana, Eri)
Joseph Fischer 10:25 pm
(10:25:33 PM): Kamille: Tch. Great. Devon! Our friend from the Volcano survived-?
HyprKnux 1 10:25 pm
(10:25:42 PM): Hana: "It was a trap - one of the hostages was working with them!"
Shaun Garin 10:26 pm
(10:26:11 PM): Eri: "First things first, we gotta knock crazy bitch out of Imber and that'll take power and finesse. Of course when I say that I mean straight up violence."
macprysm 10:26 pm
(10:26:17 PM): Cynthia: Pretty sneaky. You guys didn't get too banged up in there, did ya?
Shaun Garin 10:26 pm
(10:26:29 PM): Eri Cracks knuckles her Desu doing the same.
Aero 10:26 pm
(10:26:46 PM): Miki zooms her camera in on Imber. "He's actually letting her control him huh..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:26 pm
(10:26:55 PM): Devon: "Yes." Being even more curt than normal just shows how angry she is about this situation.
HyprKnux 1 10:27 pm
(10:27:27 PM): Hana: "...right now... GET OUT OF IMBER!" *the Desu Blanc races forward... and dives under Imber. Thrusting her hand out, she yells out "WHITE THUNDER!" attempting to use the lightning bolt she uses to charge up to strike the iDOL+
macprysm has left the room. 10:27 pm
Shaun Garin 10:28 pm
(10:28:01 PM): **"BLACK THUNDER!" Eri picked her target, Imber as well as she launched into a crackling swing of her fists.+
speximillian has entered the room. 10:28 pm
wyverncakes 10:29 pm
(10:29:01 PM): [Hana] As you move in to attack though, Nubilum moves in to intercept, tanking the hit for Imber instead! "Like I'll let you hurt those two after they've reunited!" she snaps, right before it suddenly fires out a number of grappling hooks to snare Desu Blanc!
(10:29:04 PM): (React: Hana)
cubey@aol.pl 10:29 pm
(10:29:44 PM): #
wyverncakes 10:30 pm
(10:30:02 PM): [Eri] "The same trick won't work twice!" Chihaya snaps as her expert piloting lets Imber juke around the attack... right before a shot all the way from Hiems all the way is fired and hurtling straight at Desu Noir!
(10:30:05 PM): (React: Eri)
(10:30:08 PM): (Support defend: Devon)
HyprKnux 1 10:30 pm
(10:30:47 PM): Hana: "Geh...! Get out of my way!" *and Hana begins to spin the Desu Blanc, attempting to deflect the grappling hooks+ "I won't let you have your way!"
cubey@aol.pl 10:31 pm
(10:31:11 PM): *Devon grunts in pain as pretty much her whole right arm covers in large Sophium shards. Shards that form a single long blade. "Damn it." She jumps up and starts cutting at the grappling hooks from midair.+
Shaun Garin 10:31 pm
(10:31:35 PM): Eri: "Who says that was the same move?!" And Eri spun away from the attack, thrusters firing as she attempted to zip around the back of Imber to drive a elbow into Imber's back!+
wyverncakes 10:32 pm
(10:32:31 PM): [Devon and Hana] Your combined efforts do manage to cut apart Nublium's cables... but at that point it just lets its beam cannon fire again at both of you!
(10:32:35 PM): (React again: Devon and Hana)
(10:32:55 PM): (Also, Devon and Ren)
cubey@aol.pl 10:33 pm
(10:33:10 PM): *Devon is going to grab into one of the cut cables and fall along with it, like if she was an adventurer holding a rope.+
wyverncakes 10:33 pm
(10:33:53 PM): [Eri] Hiems's railgun shot barely wings you -Christ it was fast!- but you still move forward and manage to get the jump on Imber, knocking it forward a bit as Chihaya grunts in anger
HyprKnux 1 10:34 pm
(10:34:01 PM): Hana: "Not this time!" *Hana attempts to push away from the beam cannon shot, hoping the sealed armor could take the hits if not+
wyverncakes 10:34 pm
(10:34:59 PM): [Hana and Devon] Devon's own impromptu evasive technique works just fine, the momentum of the falling cable pulling her body down with it. As for Blanc, it tanks the hit, stumbling somewhat, but it still manages to hold out!
HyprKnux 1 10:35 pm
(10:35:54 PM): Hana: "...wow... so strong..."
cubey@aol.pl 10:36 pm
(10:36:40 PM): *Time to get offensive. Devon pulls herself up with the left hand and runs on the cable, straight towards Nubilum's body. Her long blade is held in front like a lance, and like a lance it is thrust forward at the enemy armor! And when it does, the whole weapon explodes in a rain of killer shards.+
wyverncakes 10:36 pm
(10:36:52 PM): Yukiho: "That's the power of Nubilum... a power that Chihaya was perfectly fine with giving up if it meant she could be with Imber again!"
Canta Akino 10:37 pm
(10:37:05 PM): *Time to change tactics. Ren still had the Trick Vent copies, so he kept five attacking Imber, flying quickly by the head and making strikes with their swords. Meanwhile, he and the last three copies struck at the Nubilum with similar tactics, trying to divert Yukiho's attention.+
cubey@aol.pl 10:37 pm
(10:37:13 PM): Devon: "Talk less."
Canta Akino 10:37 pm
(10:37:50 PM): "But she threatened someone else for this," Ren argued. "You're fine going along with that?"
Joseph Fischer 10:38 pm
(10:38:23 PM): Kamille: She doesn't know what love is! She's obsessed when she doesn't care about Imber's emotions!
wyverncakes 10:38 pm
(10:38:43 PM): [Devon] Yukiho might have seen a bit of what you can do, but a sudden fletchett storm like that still takes her by surprise! The hail of shards shoot out, hammering into Nubilum's shield and forcing their way through, and steadily begin to tear into the black machine!
Max Bubon 10:39 pm
(10:39:28 PM): Cynthia: That isn't love at all...you can't just force your feelings on others and expect them to feel the same!
HyprKnux 1 10:40 pm
(10:40:26 PM): Hana: "It doesn't matter what the machine is - if it's living or not, if it has an AI or not! A bond between a person and that machine is what draws out its true potential and brings out what it really can do! If you force it, then all it is is rage and anger from being USED!"
wyverncakes 10:41 pm
(10:41:14 PM): [Ren] And with Imber still reeling from Eri's attack, the five clones manage to begin hacking up Imber's legs... but the shields grow too focused! And promplty one of the clones and then another break their swords attacking it! As for your ones attacking Nubilum, Yukiho's still shaken up by how much damage Devon just did, but with a defiant roar she has the iDOL swing its hands up and slam down on two of your clones, crushing them, as its cannon flashes again, aiming to wipe out you and the last of them!+

(10:41:42 PM): (Also: Kamille and Cynthia)
Aero 10:42 pm
(10:42:59 PM): *Guess who's putting herself and Nebula in the way of a gravity beam cannon. Miki that's who. "They sure do like overequipping their iDOLs with weapons."
(10:43:01 PM): +
VJockey 10:44 pm
(10:44:40 PM): Luger:.. "why can't they just DIE when they get shot at like everything ELSE?!" [Luger's starting to come out of his... state... and the lost leg and unworkable left arm is very bad indeed]
macprysm 10:44 pm
(10:44:47 PM): Cynthia poses in her Dominator. "You, who feel obsession and lust and mistake it for love. Who abuse the other end of your relationship and expect nothing from karma. In the name of Love, I will punish you! Newtype-boy! Rider Formation, one more time!"
wyverncakes 10:44 pm
(10:44:59 PM): [Miki] As you hurtle forward to tank the shot, the gravity disturbances seem to grow stronger and stronger... and just as you move forward to tank the shot suddenly they spike! But for the time being there's more to worry about, like getting hit by that cannon... as well as another railgun shot from Hiems which sends Nebula crashing into the ground!
(10:45:36 PM): Inside of Nebula, systems are going off everywhere, and Makoto can only snort in victory.
(10:45:54 PM): "Worthless machine... besides for this moment..."
Shaun Garin 10:46 pm
(10:46:15 PM): COFFRET: Gravitation fields are spiking, Eri!
(10:46:24 PM): Eri: Say what? NNNGGH.
Aero 10:46 pm
(10:46:34 PM): Miki is trying everything to get Nebula back in order. "Come on Nebula..."
Canta Akino 10:46 pm
(10:46:36 PM): *"Thanks," Ren said as Miki managed to save him and his copy. But there were two down, and the rest had lost their swords. "Damnit." The remaining copies joined him, now using their shorter swords, weaving their way past attacks to try to strike the Nubilum again.+
wyverncakes 10:46 pm
(10:46:39 PM): Indeed they are... and suddenly at once, a bright light suddenly sparks into existence obove you all!
HyprKnux 1 10:47 pm
(10:47:05 PM): Hana: "...wha...?"
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:28 PM): The gravity distortions suddenly shoot up even higher, and at once all of the iDOLS seem to begin to act up, as yet another iDOL, red, appears high in the sky, a ring of energy surrounding it!
Joseph Fischer 10:47 pm
(10:47:28 PM): Kamille: YOU GOT IT, RUBBER GIRL-what? *is in Waverider form... and just sits there? +
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:38 PM): Chihya: "W-wha... Tempestas is...?!?"

(10:47:47 PM): Miki: "The lost iDOL?"
wyverncakes 10:47 pm
(10:47:55 PM): Haruka!
HyprKnux 1 10:48 pm
(10:48:00 PM): Hana: "What is that...?!"
Shaun Garin 10:48 pm
(10:48:03 PM): Eri is going to facepalm.
wyverncakes 10:48 pm
(10:48:27 PM): If you have any degree of consciousness right now, you'll see Ami standing there, eyes wide in surprise as if she's been reunited with a long-lost family member!
cubey@aol.pl 10:48 pm
(10:48:27 PM): "More..." Devon sounds grimly focused.
wyverncakes 10:48 pm
(10:48:36 PM): Ami: "T-Tempestas...? T-then that would mean..."
arachnion01@gmail.com 10:49 pm
(10:49:13 PM): Haruka's awake. She's not really capable of processing what's going on right now, though, and just kind of stares at what's going on up above.
