Mission 116: "Stand Up, Cast Off"

The message had been short and simple. There was activity around the meteor impact site that had marked the arrival of the percolatii to the world. As such, with limited manpower, a small force was sent out on grav sleds and other such things.
Your eta is about fifteen minutes out when the smouldering remains of Mt. Kilauea can be seen. In the side of it was a huge meteor, which miraculously hadn't devastated the local population when it hit.
Everyone what are you doing right now?
wyverncakes 6:01 pm
Considering his whole Schroedinger's Percolatis issue, Gregory took part in the trip
Mister Giggles 6:02 pm
Char launched without Haman or Mineva's permission. Considering the Percolatti already screwed up Karabba's efforts, this was personal to him.
HyprKnux 1 6:02 pm
Kaito's had joined in, curious about what was going on. He was mostly in the G3-X armor, just need to slap on the helmet.
Alan Bunting 6:02 pm
Jukai got a crash course on the whole Percolatis thing, so she wanted to come along and make herself useful. It wasn't like she had anything to contribute to the ship repairs anyway.
VJockey 6:02 pm
Michael: [Pulling off some wicked sick tricks that shouldn't even be possible on a grav sled! Seriously.... HOW WAS HE DOING THAT?! Being a president shouldn't give you that much power over the laws of reality!]
Techy Elf resides here 6:03 pm
Lucchini's flying naerby just taking in the sights
Overman Zappa 6:03 pm
MarKus is in his usual 'good mood'. Yanno, seeing his girlfriend then, going off to play Kamen Rider. More than likely, many evil Percolatii would be smooshed today, with the help of his SUPER MODE... *ahem*
Alan Bunting 6:03 pm
She's also on one of her own hoverboards rather than wasting a grav sled that someone else could be using.
Shaun 6:04 pm
Dan: The message was a little garbled but you should be coming up on Kilauea pretty quick here.
And pretty soon you can see it. It's a vaguely egg-shaped meteor with debris all over the place. It had literally ripped and fused its way into the side of the vast hawaiian mountain, once thought to be sacred by their native people.
HyprKnux 1 6:06 pm
Kaito: "That's it, huh?"
wyverncakes 6:06 pm
Gregory: "Certainly left its mark on the area."
Mister Giggles 6:06 pm
Char: "I've never seen a meteor like this before. I've got a bad feeling about this."
Overman Zappa 6:07 pm
MarKus: "Of course you do. We're at the landing sight of evil aliens. If you had a good feeling I'd hit you."
VJockey 6:07 pm
Michael: "Man... that thing looks like it could make one monster of an omlette.... hope we never meet the chicken that laid it."
Shaun 6:07 pm
At this point, a group of men in TECZ uniforms are down there, working on chipping away at the meteor when they notice you. An alarm is rang up and without warning, several of them turn green and almost worm-like.
Overman Zappa 6:07 pm
MarKus: "HA!"
wyverncakes 6:07 pm
Gregory: "!"
Shaun 6:07 pm
Of course they're percolatii but at this point no one's really insisting they're not worms. And as such, several of them grow while a group of them board a few generic TECZ suits.
Overman Zappa 6:08 pm
MarKus: "Percolatis working for TECZ. Greg..."
Techy Elf resides here 6:08 pm
Lucchini: Then I won't say I'm having a good feeling we'll get to trash some baddies
Mister Giggles 6:08 pm
Char: I'd more meant the meteor itse--
HyprKnux 1 6:08 pm
Kaito: "Guess it's time to get going." With that, Kaito slides the helmet on, fully taking on the identity of Kamen Rider G3-X
Shaun 6:08 pm
Enemy List: Type G1 Hercus, Type G2 Caucasus, Type G3 Keratos, 10 TECZ Suits, 5 Percolatii Giant sized.
Mister Giggles 6:08 pm
Char falls silent immediately. Damn it. Just how good at infiltrating people ARE they?
Shaun 6:08 pm
Leader: Get them!
VJockey 6:08 pm
Michael: "Whoa! Creepy bug monsters! Twelve o'clock!"
wyverncakes 6:08 pm
Gregory: "I saw, MarKus!"
Shaun 6:09 pm

wyverncakes 6:09 pm
Of course, this does nothing but make his situation all the more ironic
Overman Zappa 6:09 pm
MarKus: "IT's not "I SAW" it's "HOw much do you know that you're not telling me"
Shaun 6:09 pm
[Initiative: Gregory, Char, Kaito, Jukai, Michael, Lucchini, MarKus]
[Gregory, Char, Kaito]
wyverncakes 6:09 pm
He's not even sure what he is, but they were labeling him as a Percolatis... and all this time...
Mister Giggles 6:10 pm
Char: "Leave the bigger ones to the mechs. Non-pilots, stay away from them."
wyverncakes 6:10 pm
"... Try to see if we can capture a few. Things just got a lot more complicated and we could do with all the answers we could get."
(Enemy lineup?)
HyprKnux 1 6:11 pm
Kaito: "Percolatii... heh, could swear they look like someone else. Eh..." *With that, he draws the Scorpion magnum pistol and starts firing at the TECZ Suits+
Shaun 6:11 pm
[ Enemy List: Type G1 Hercus, Type G2 Caucasus, Type G3 Keratos, 10 TECZ Suits, 5 Percolatii Giant sized.]
llamaqueen190 has left the room. 6:11 pm
Mister Giggles 6:11 pm
*Hyakku Shiki boosts to the side, targeting one of the larger Percolatti, circle-straging it. Immediately it draws the beam rifle, and attempts to line up a shot right at its fleshy midsection, near where he estimates its vitals might be.&
strafing*))
Shaun 6:12 pm
[Kaito] At the shots tearing into the framework of the TECZ suits, his target shields its cockpit as it returns fire, booming shots ringing out to strike the Rider. [React]
Alan Bunting 6:12 pm
Jukai's not exactly paying attention to the flight, so when everyone shifts to combat readiness she's a bit late to the game, eventually realizing she's gotten ahead of the others. "Um... what's going on?" Then she notices the bugs. "Eep! Okay, that's what's going on! My bad!" And she brings her Modulator to full combat readiness and starts looking for her first move.
Shaun 6:13 pm
[Char] The percolatii have over plans, and it sidesteps, clearly much faster as it draws a punch to the head optics. [React/Continue]
wyverncakes 6:13 pm
* And still on the hover platform, AXI zooms in close, firing a few shots at the ground of the TECZ suits and the Percolatii to hold them off before he lands on the ground and charges, chopping his beam claymore at one of them!+
Shaun 6:14 pm
[Greg] Being that these are merely grunts, the first Percolatii is drilled and then sliced in half. But two more round on him, tackling the AXI back towards the volcano. [React]
HyprKnux 1 6:14 pm
Kaito: "There we go... keep focused on the tiny target..." *With that, Kaito starts running, slapping on the Salamander attachment and firing a grenade at the suit+
Shaun 6:14 pm
[Jukai, Michael]
[Kaito] Your motions definitely aggro the suit, and it follows, only to eat a grenade right in the optics. It stumbles, and the pilot scrambles to get its sensors back online.
wyverncakes 6:15 pm
* And as he's being hurled forward like that, he spins his beam gun in his hand until it's pointed backwards, and then squeezes the trigger to send a beam to chew through one of them!+
Mister Giggles 6:15 pm
*Thankfully, Char's a Newtype. He's watched Percolatti before, and was hoping to draw this kind of reaction. Its other hand whips out the beamsaber, as Char contorts the Hyakku Shiki mid-movement into a sidestep, hoping to just barely dodge the punch to the head, while using the beam saber to dismember that arm entirely.+
VJockey 6:15 pm
Michael: *Grins and draws his heavy revolvers, spinning the pistols like a cowboy and firing both from the hip at the Caucasus!+ "Hey Buddy! Have a taste of the big iron!"
Shaun 6:16 pm
[Greg] The attack blasted a hole through the lead Percolatii's shoulder and it reared back, green blood showering the area as it fell backwards. The slickness of it made its companion stumble as well, losing grip.
[Char] The feint is a success as the beam saber goes through the arm, but a second and third TECZ suit fires on you, rattling your frame with shots.
Alan Bunting 6:17 pm
*And now that she's got an idea of what she's dealing with... "O blazing dawn..." The rest of the incantation is lost to the wind as she kicks her board into overdrive to get behind a Percolatii, but you can clearly hear the end: "Dawnblade, shine! Haaaaaa...!" And she makes a textbook slash with the longsword coalescing in her hand into its back, assuming it hasn't been smart and turned to meet her!+
Shaun 6:17 pm
[Michael] Caucasus guards its attacks, firing back as it starts a running battle with the Metal Wolf, firing equally powerful guns back at you! [React]
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson (taoofcrime) has entered the room. 6:18 pm
Shaun 6:18 pm
[Jukai] The Percolatii turns for a half a moment to get its shoulder cut into! it squeals in pain as it thrashes about, throwing you off to the side Jukai, but it is wide open! Clearly it didn't expect that kind of attack from a small unit.
[Lucchini, MarKus]
Overman Zappa 6:19 pm
*If he just kept using it, he'd have to bring it back later and fix it, as well as still fixing the ship. Rather than... being productive, MarKus takes the wasteful path and Aims the Grav-Sled down into the G1. He's going to crash the thing down INTO the AP-Frame! +
VJockey 6:19 pm
Michael: *Grins and GUNS the Grav sled forwards at insane speeds, before suddenly turning bottum up - turning it into a makeshift shield after turning it off and leaping away from it - thus making it a speeding projectile!+
Shaun 6:20 pm
[MarKus] The attack slams into the AP-Frame, driving it backwards as the no-name pilot wrestles for it with for a moment before it rips the sled from the Technica's feet and starts to beat it on the head with it! [React]
wyverncakes 6:20 pm
# (MarKus)
Shaun 6:21 pm
[Michael] You're more successful since the opponent keeps shooting and gets slammed into a grove of trees, snapping them like twigs and getting crushed. There's a moment of pained grunts from the pilot as the frame erupts like a molting, into a giant Percolatii!

Alan Bunting 6:21 pm
"Whoa!" Jukai fights to bring the Sunbeam's flight back under control, but she's grinning. "All right, this is working!"
Shaun 6:21 pm
[approved]
Overman Zappa 6:22 pm
*MarKus never NEEDED the sled! He could fly on his own. Soon as it's taken away, MarKus just starts flying upward, leaving room for Greg's cover-counter... hopefully!+
wyverncakes 6:22 pm
* And as that sled comes crashing down, AXI's already moving in with the save! "MarKus, get out of the way!" he shouts as he swings his beam claymore to lop off the better part of the sled.
^+
Shaun 6:22 pm
[MarKus/Greg] The sled is cleaved, but the Hercus just whips out a axe of its own and attacks full force, cleaving off the Technica's foot.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 6:22 pm
Resnick: Stay down, stravag. [And a flight of LRMs goes arcing out of the water as Resnick's Timber Wolf comes stalking out of the waves, hoping to hammer the giant percolatis back to prone before it can catch its balance]
Techy Elf resides here 6:23 pm
[Lucchini] Zooming towards the closest opponents she opened fire with her machine guns waiting until she was closer before she actually ppened up with her shields using her strikers to gain speed so she could try to drill through the nearest one.+
Shaun 6:24 pm
[Michael/Resnick] The attacks slam into the percolatii and for a moment there's no reaction. But then it explodes into a fountain of goo.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 6:24 pm
[oh crap gotta go for just a minute, automove resnick along]
Shaun 6:24 pm
[Lucchini] The one that had been injured by Greg goes down, a huge hole in it's chest. So far so good.
VJockey 6:24 pm
Michael: "Man....what's with giant monsters and slime? Its it a union requirement or something?"
wyverncakes 6:24 pm
Gregory: "Percolatii are insect-like. It comes with the territory."
Shaun 6:25 pm
It seems like there's a lot of easy stuff going on here, even if some of the enemies here are basically fodder. But then, from the air you hear a thudding, of multiple helicoptors as a huge device is flown in from across the water.
Mister Giggles 6:25 pm
Char: [while being peppered with small-arms fire and giving no fucks] Use beam-weapons. Cauterizes the wounds.
Shaun 6:25 pm
And with it, is a annoyingly familiar news reporter!

Peter: This is Peter MacDonald for the DNN news! Just moments ago, President Richard Hawke has agreed to letting the peace keeping force deal with the invasion in Fuso!
HyprKnux 1 6:26 pm
Kaito: "..."
wyverncakes 6:26 pm
Gregory: "... What?!?"
Shaun 6:26 pm
Peter: Mounting behind me on the old observatory is the mark 14 Supercharged Cannon! With it, we'll be able to defeat the invading force known as the Percolatii who have consumed nearly a quarter of the Fuso people!
Alan Bunting 6:26 pm
Jukai: "...wait. Are WE the invasion, or are we the peacekeeping force?"
Shaun 6:27 pm
Peter: President Hawke had this to say moments ago!
HyprKnux 1 6:27 pm
Kaito: "Knowing our luck, we're probably the invasion..."
Shaun 6:27 pm
Richard Broadcast: My fellow Neo-Americans!
VJockey 6:27 pm

Overman Zappa 6:27 pm
MarKus: "God damnit! I don't need MORE shit to fix! Why don't you stand still and die already!
wyverncakes 6:27 pm
Gregory: "I'm more worried about that cannon they just mentioned!"
Shaun 6:28 pm
Richard: It is my solemn statement to declare that Fuso, our once proud and companion nation has fallen prey to the terror that is the Percolatii! Not only that, there is talk of these creatures who do the exact same thing, inhabiting a frightening clock up dimension!
Richard: WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND WHILE OUR FRIENDS AND COMRADES IN ARMS WILL BE GIVEN PAUSE! THESE WORMS AND PERCOLATII WILL BE STOPPED AT THE SOURCE, AND NEO-AMERICA PLEDGES ITS AID FOR THE COMING REPAIRS!
Overman Zappa 6:29 pm
MarKus: "I'm kinda gladd the Major's not here either... Patriotism can be a mother-fucker... RIGHT MICHAEL!?"

Richard: We hope everyone will be better when the Fuso people are truly free.

Kaito: "Can't be everywhere at once." Total lie, but...
VJockey 6:30 pm
Michael: [Except there WOULDN'T BE a Fuso left to repair!] "RIIIIIIIIIIIICHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!" [Michael is now focused on one thing. Taking out that cannon!] "Guys! You can deal with the bugs right? I got a big stick to snap right now!!"

Gregory: "Technica's better equipped than AXI for that, MarKus!"
Mister Giggles 6:34 pm
*Char knows all about personal vendettas, so he allows Micahael to go after the cannon, for now. Besides - he wants to kill more Percolatti. While being peppered with small arms fire from the suits, which really wasn't much to worry about, Char follows up his dismemberment of that Percolatti with a Char Kick right to its chest, hoping to make it fall backward while staggered from having its arm cut off onto more smaller Percolatti, crushing them.+
wyverncakes 6:34 pm
* And so AXI jumps off its own flight platform to lend it to MarKus, before he charges again and slashes at the G1 with his sword once more!+

lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 6:35 pm
[sorry about that, what'd I miss?]
Shaun 6:35 pm
[Kaito] Never underestimating a smaller opponent, the bullets slammed into the Percolatii, driving them back as seconds as one of them charged Kaito, intent on punting him like a football.
Shaun 6:36 pm
[Char] The Percolatii is knocked back, but then it picks up a Pop TV stand and slams it into Char's chest, denting the armor. This is long enough for the Keratos to leap over it and bring it's axe down in a bisecting slash! [React Char]
HyprKnux 1 6:36 pm
Kaito: "Whoops." *He's going to have to stop shooting before leaping backwards, hoping to miss the kick.+
Shaun 6:36 pm
[Kaito] Dodge succesful, but not they're lobbing trees at you. Dodge more. [React again]
[Greg] The G1 catches the attack in a literal sword catch as it slams its foot into your leg over and over, cracking the machinery within and severely denting the mecha's foot! [React]
Overman Zappa 6:37 pm
MarKus has no idea why he's being given the sled. He's even missing a foot now. He's got vernier thrusters, but he'll take it by the hand anyway and haul off. "Don't dsiaapoint me, sidekick!" Trolololol Greg.
HyprKnux 1 6:38 pm
Kaito: "...you've got to be kidding me." *And he's going to have to do that, gatling blazing to make sure they don't USE those trees again+
Shaun 6:38 pm
[Jukai, Michael]
Mister Giggles 6:39 pm
*The dent to his armor made him jerk back in his seat, just in time for his Newtype senses to detect the incoming Keratos. Char then makes the Hyakku Shiki take a few steps back and to the side, allowing the slam from the Pop TV stand to guide him back with his momentum, as he raised the beam rifle and fired a shot right into the Keratos' side, timing it so that the shot would hopefully connect while the Keratos was in mid-air and unable to dodge without landing very, very awkwardly.&
Shaun 6:40 pm
[Char] The attack rolled across the Keratos's armor, as it landed in front of him, bringing its fists up for a good old fashioned slugfest. It's fast and it barrels down on you with several punches. [Continue/React]
wyverncakes 6:40 pm
* Gregory grunts as AXI's knocked back, and he's more than a little surprised that G1 could catch a beam saber. But... "Let's see what happens when we crank this up to full power!" It was Overblast time, shooting a wall of energy in front of itself before stabbing and sheathing his blade through the energy and using it to strike at G1 again!+
Shaun 6:41 pm
[Kaito] At least it missed most of the time, the trees exploding.
Alan Bunting 6:41 pm
*"Okay, bugs are our problem. No biggie... there's only... a lot of them." Well, that won't stop her! "O warrior soul, appear before me and bring ruin unto my enemies!" She flies into the sky to try and get out of the way of things, holding a hand out to mark a point on the ground for the summon to appear. "Thunderclap, strike down!" And there's a unit about twice her size, looking wiry but with a big arm cannon. As Jukai swings her arm out at the Percolatii, the robot takes a big shot with the cannon!+
Shaun 6:41 pm
[Greg] Suddenly, the G2 slams into Gregory, bowling the pair over.
Shaun 6:41 pm
????: Hey buddy.
[React]
wyverncakes 6:41 pm
Gregory: "G-gggh! Do I know you...?"
Shaun 6:42 pm
????: Yeah, you don't remember?
VJockey 6:42 pm
Michael: *switched out his pistols for his Penta-Ouch Beam Gatlings, the barrels whirling wildly and spraying green death all over at the Apaches as he continued on his wild charge to the cannon, he couldn't let anything stop him!+
Shaun 6:42 pm
????: You don't remember my voice do you. It figures, the upper brass never remembers the grunts.
Mister Giggles 6:43 pm
*Char was more than willing to take a few punches. Gundarium Allow didn't break easily, after all. While it was taking a few punches, the Psycommu-guided Strike Harkens bursted forth from the Hyakku Shiki's back, and swirled forward, aiming to bore its bared edges straight into the Keratos' neck in an attempt to sever it, while Char attempted to stab it straight through the chest with the beamsaber once it was close enough.+
Shaun 6:43 pm
[Jukai] The cannon drills the latest Percolatii, and a Frame behind it as it shatters under the assault. But from the frame, another Percolatii emerges and charges you! [React]

[Char] The Keratos's neck was sliced easily, but even without it's optics it still fought. Struggling on the beam saber, its pilot ejected and leaped onto Char's machine, supersizing it! Have a huge percolatii weighing you down now Char!

[Lucchini, MarKus]
Alan Bunting 6:47 pm
*Jukai's in the air, so she's not worried about it unless the bug in question can fly. Her unit, on the other hand, isn't so lucky. "Move, guy, or you're gonna get shot!" Just in case, though, she makes a flyby with the sword still in her hands, as the mook starts to shift out of the way slowly.+
Shaun 6:47 pm
????: Well maybe this will jog your memory!
Mister Giggles 6:47 pm
(React to that?)
Shaun 6:48 pm
[Greg] And with that in mind, he slammed the AXI upwards, throwing him into the air and knocking him back.

And he's just going to quietly mute the bastard because he's kinda wondering if this is just a way to distract him at this point.
Shaun 6:50 pm
[Resnick] The apache's take hits, one of them explodes and the pilot bails, but there's two more rattattating the Metal Wolf and Resnick now. [React]
Mister Giggles 6:51 pm
Char: Ergh! *That wasn't expected, even for a Newtype. He makes a mental note of where those things' cockpits are, for future reference, as the Hyakku Shiki was about to be knocked into its back. With the head of the Keratos severed, Char attempts to use the Psycommu system to guide the Strike Harkens back into the Percolatti's fleshy areas, raking across them to cause deep, bloody lacerations, while Char opened fire with the Hyakku Shiki's head-mounted Vulcans.+
Shaun 6:51 pm
????: Damnit! You were always bad with names!
Overman Zappa 6:51 pm
*Getting up in the air near the Apache's, MarKus let's loose on his prized new power-up. Hyper form... You know... He never NAMED it... "CLOCK UP!" The X on his chest bursts open, wire-guided arms spreading out and reaching for, at least, four Apache's+

[Revised initiative: Char, Kaito, Jukai, Michael, Lucchini, MarKus, Resnick]
[Lucchini] Your strafing fire distracts at least a couple of people who were moving to intercept MarKus. They bore holes in the percolatii.
[Char] The percolatii is surprisingly steady. It seems to be more advanced than the rest and it keeps wailing on you, like some kind of demented sumo. [React more]

HyprKnux 1 6:54 pm
((Enemy Lineup?))
Overman Zappa 6:54 pm
MarKus feels the love from his lil sis keeping an eye out for him
Shaun 6:54 pm
[Greg] G2 parries, kicking out at him and bringing his own blade to strike, yelling at him through the muted comm. [React]
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 6:55 pm
Resnick: Hah! A mass attack means I do not have to stick to zelbriggen! [And with that, he fires his jumpjets, emerging from the water like an avenging asshole merman and activates his EI system. He hisses as he' briefly becomes one with the machine, its metal limbs his, and feathers them carefully on the way down, looking to crush one of the apaches beneath the feet of his 75 ton omnimech. That's right, he just tried to Death From Above a helicopter.]
Shaun 6:55 pm
[G1, G3, 4 TECZ Suits, 7 Percolatii, 10 Apache]
HyprKnux 1 6:55 pm
*Gatling still out, Kaito turns his attention to the rest of the Percolatii, firing at them once more+
Shaun 6:55 pm
[Resnick] helecoptors aren't able to dodge like mecha are, and it is slammed to the ground, the surprised pilot going with it.
Mister Giggles 6:56 pm
*The Hyakku Shiki's computers are already reporting damage to the hull. This thing seems to have a crazy high pain tolerance. Two of the Strike Harkens pull out - aftering the barbed edges rip through its check some more, and go for its eyes. Char then attempts to aim the vulcan's at its neck, aiming for the jugular vein and trachea.+
Shaun 6:56 pm
[Kaito] The Gattling tears into the Percolatii, showering them with bullets as one of them charges headlong at the Rider, hoping to squish him like a bug. [React]
wyverncakes 6:56 pm
* And even after parrying that sword, AXI still has momentum on his side to delivera swift punch before G2 can land that kick, to say nothing about its sword!+
Shaun 6:57 pm
[Char] The opponent grabs the Strike Harkens, crushing them in its grip as it slams its foot down on the vulcan. In a surprising move, a blade rips free from its foot itself, and slices through the gun and the arm! [React]
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 6:57 pm
Resnick: [He laughs maniacally. Inferior VTOL pilots!]
HyprKnux 1 6:58 pm
*Temporarily putting the gatling down, Kaito draws the Unicorn electromagnetic knife and charges forward, stabbing at the beast with it+
Shaun 6:58 pm
[Greg] G2 rolls to its side, and then claps something on its side. It blurs momentarily and slams into the AXI, knocking it over in a clothesline! [React]
Shaun 6:59 pm
[Kaito] The Percolatii goes down from the knife, and it twitches for a moment as it dies. And for a moment it twitches again, before suddenly exploding in a fireball!
[Jukai, Michael]
Alan Bunting 6:59 pm
*Jukai's starting to get a feel for these things. "Okay, I don't think I need to worry about these guys... Let's keep going! Take the shot down there!" Not that the order's needed; the Thunderclap takes another shot at the closest Percolatis to his master, and Jukai brings her sword to bear against an Apache or three, darting in and out to bring the pain.+
wyverncakes 6:59 pm
* "G-gggrgh!" AXI reels back from the blow, but gritting through the shock, Gregory has his AP Frame quick-draw its beam gun to shoot the G2 point-blank!
+
HyprKnux 1 6:59 pm
Kaito: "Nngh!"
Shaun 6:59 pm
At this point, the weapon had been mounted, and it was starting a deathly charge....
Mister Giggles 6:59 pm
*Oh no you don't. Just as that blade comes out, the arm reaches up, and attempts to ram the beam saber right through the creature's upper chest near the heart and lungs. He may lose the arm in the process, but while the Percolatti is otherwise occupied, this is his chance.
+
Overman Zappa 6:59 pm
MarKus: "Hey Frannie... I think Greg might need more help than me... He's getting stomped down there.
wyverncakes 7:00 pm
Gregory: "He's a tough nut to crack admittedly!"
VJockey 7:00 pm
Michael: *Another switch! This time... he draws a pair of railguns, slamming both feet into the ground and locking onto the railgun, watching bars rise on his HUD as the weapons charged to their highest capacity!& "SOMEONE COVER ME!"
Techy Elf resides here 7:00 pm
:ucchini: "On it!"
Shaun 7:00 pm
[Jukai] Smaller is apparently better at this, and the sword bites into the Apache, slicing into a tailfin and sending it spiraling out into the sky to smash against another. The Thunderclap drills another Percolatii as a TECZ suit, already damaged, sheds its nature and a Percolatii leaps at her, ready to squish her! [React]
Shaun 7:01 pm
[Greg] The shot slams into the G2 but it's surprisingly armored! It starts punching him even faster, spikes emitting from its wrists to carve into the AXI. [React]
[Char] The blade drives through the chest of the Percolatii as it simultaneously shears the arm. But the alien... grins? Uh oh. With a massive engulfing fireball, Char is engulfed in flames as it explodes, taking the mecha with it! [Char Downed]
wyverncakes 7:02 pm
* Trying to out-punch AXI with just raw strength? Cute. Another Overblast was in order, this time Gregory aiming to destroy G2's arms before they destroyed him!+
Shaun 7:03 pm
[Lucchini, MarKus, Resnick]
wyverncakes 7:03 pm
(Clarification:
(Gregory's energizing his own mech's fists with Overblast energy to trump G2's spiked fists)
Alan Bunting 7:03 pm
*Jukai realizes she's going to have to either cut stuff down or pull up. She elects to do both, in order. She brings the Dawnblade down with intent to stab rather than cut, and seeks to drive it into the beast...! &
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:04 pm
[enemy list?]
Shaun 7:04 pm
[Greg] AXI's attack impacted and for a moment there's a mechatastic fist to fist punch! But then the attack sheared the arms off of G2's left and AXI's right seconds before it delivered a massive armless headbutt to him, cracking the chest armor! It started to smash the AXI repeatedly with it's good arm, screaming something about 'what you going to do, bleed on me?' [React]
[G1, G3, 2 TECZ suits, 6 Percolatii, 6 Apache]
Shaun 7:06 pm
[Jukai] Your attack impales the monster as it gurgles for a moment, and it falls over. There's a hissing of energy, as it explodes in a fireball, charring your hair as it throws you across the way!
Techy Elf resides here 7:06 pm
*Lucchini takes aim speeding for the mech to assist Greg. Zipping by one of the apache as she goes trying a few shots from behind to try to ease up some more of the battle.*
Alan Bunting 7:07 pm
(Can I take my continue, since it'll follow before she's blown away?)
wyverncakes 7:07 pm
* AXI shudders from the punches, sure... but through it all Gregory does his best to keep his focus! "...Going after the wrong body part!" And at that AXI swings its legs up and brings them crashing together, aiming to crush G2's remaining arm at the elbow!&
Shaun 7:07 pm
By now, the weapon is primed. And it is taking its target towards Fuso. Somewhere, a cakeboss is watching it somehow singing happy birthday to the gun.
[Yes]
[Greg] G2's elbow was crushed by the attack, slamming its head over and over into the AXI as its pilot yelled incoherently at him. [Continue]
VJockey 7:08 pm
(Do I take mine?)
Shaun 7:08 pm
[Yes Sorry]
Overman Zappa 7:08 pm
*MarKus, now glowing orangish, makes a dash for the canon, ignoring the rest of the helicopters. Greg already knows he needs to quit messing around, so he's not going to babysit him. The Technica charges full-speed at the canon, getting up under the barrel and pushing up on it.+
wyverncakes 7:09 pm
* "Check and mate." Gregory twists AXI's legs to throw G2 onto the ground hard. And he's still got his beam claymore to work with, which he then plunges straight into G2's body to destroy the AP Frame once and for all!+
Shaun 7:09 pm
[MarKus] Your efforts are successful! For all of their rush, the cannon fires however, and a beam of energy screams into the air. Up above, a Pop TV satellite is vaporized instantly.
Alan Bunting 7:09 pm
*Before she's blown away, Jukai kicks at the hilt of the Dawnblade, attempting to direct the Percolatis' flight path; that doesn't go quite as expected since the thing exploded, but there's enough momentum left in the sword to send it straight through. Ideally, that'll send it toward a crowd of Percolatii, where it'll explode into a burst of light for damage and blinding. (Hopefully, it won't send it toward Chalice combatants, but...eh.)+
Camiu (blackmagerulz101@gmail.com) has left the room. 7:09 pm
Shaun 7:09 pm
[Greg] G2 downed! The machine stops moving as its pilot is rattled into unconciousness and he groans, slumping to the side.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:09 pm
Resnick: [If the apaches take their attention towards MarKus, they'll find Resnick blasting their tails off]
Shaun 7:10 pm
[Jukai] Your counter attack is successful, knocking the remaining Percolatii into each other where they were scarred by the white light.
Shaun 7:10 pm
[Resnick] The remaining apache's are blasted, several of them falling down and their pilots and grew bailing out.
wyverncakes 7:11 pm
And at that, AXI stumbles back as well but Gregory breathes a sigh of relief.
"Sorry for the hold-up everyone. But at least this guy was finally taken care of."
Overman Zappa 7:11 pm
MarKus: "H-holy shit... d-did I really just... Just do that?!" MaKus doesn't even BELIEVE he did what he just did"
Shaun 7:11 pm
[Greg] For a moment it looked like the pilot had been done in. But suddenly from the chest, huge hands ripped from it as a massive Percolatii emerged!
Mister Giggles (mistergiggl3s) has left the room. 7:11 pm
Shaun 7:11 pm
????: Hey buddy.
[Greg] And with that, it reached over to the AXI and ripped its arm off! [React]
VJockey 7:12 pm
Michael: *The cannon is primed? What a coincidence... so were his! "OH yeah! Feel the burn!" There was a MASSIVE shockwave as Michael was tore a trench into the ground as his guns fired at the cannon. He didn't know if he could destroy the weapon itself.... buuut... its precarious mount on the other hand.... wait... wouldn't it still charge-... oh bears on unicycles...+ "Uh...guys... I think I might have tripped myself up on something..."

* "W-what??!" Well shit this wasn't good at all, so Gregory's just gonna try to get the hell out of dodge!
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:12 pm
[modem hiccup]
wyverncakes 7:12 pm
+
Shaun 7:13 pm
????: OH no you don't!
[Greg] And grabbing the AXI by the shoulder, it started pulling parts off like a macrabe doll!
[Michael] Indeed you did! The cannon swings back downwards and points to the ground -- and FIRES!
The ground shakes with thunderous impacts as the ground is rocked by the cannon fire!
wyverncakes 7:14 pm
Gregory: "Shit... shiiiiiit!"
He's... gonna need some help here people!
Shaun 7:15 pm
Down below, the remaining TECZ people who had kept working, are packaging meteor fragments into a canister and piling into an awaiting helicopter.
The ground rumbles, it shakes, and soon, LAVA starts spilling out of the ground!
I mean, its lava. It could be acid.
But there's huge gusts of toxic smoke coming out everywhere now.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:16 pm
Resnick: [He jumps again, this time towards the canon, hoping to get under the barrel and inside its range. If there's any distance left after the jump, he'll activate MASC for a burst of speed]
Shaun 7:16 pm
From there, the G1 who had mostly survived it, seemed to debate the situation before gesturing to the others. Full retreat.
Shaun 7:16 pm
[Resnik] You're blocked suddenly by a huge vent of lava bursting from near where you land!
Techy Elf resides here 7:17 pm

Dan: Guys, get out of there! Hawaii is going to explode!
[Approved]
HyprKnux 1 7:17 pm
Kaito: "Oh, not good..."
Shaun 7:17 pm
????: You wonder why I'm doing this, buddy? It's simple! I'm a percolatii...
????: And I kill other percolatii who try to help people!
VJockey 7:18 pm
Michael:..."man...I guess that means the Luau is cancelled..." [THE PRESIDENT IS NOW GETTING A MOVE ON.] "RES! COME ON BUDDY! TIME TO GO!"
wyverncakes 7:18 pm
Yeah, Gregory can see the gigantic monstrosity right now
Techy Elf resides here 7:18 pm
*Lucchini hovers nearby a moment and decides to pull a card from Perrine's book using her sheild the best she can to form at least a wegde to protect her and Greg and his machine for a few moments at least "Get out of here I'll follow!"
wyverncakes 7:18 pm
What with AXI being systematically being torn apart by it!
Shaun 7:18 pm
????: Guess what you are... if you're on my list.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:18 pm
Resnick: Freebirth! [He jumps back, jolting himself away, fighting hard to keep Prowler upright as it lands just outside of the lava...Well at least that takes care of the cannon.]
wyverncakes 7:19 pm
Gregory: "Then...!"
And yis eyes open wide in disbelief.
Alan Bunting 7:19 pm
Jukai: "This isn't looking good! Um... um...!"
Shaun 7:19 pm
????: Yep. Three guesses buddy. And you've used up two of em.
With the island self destructing from the cannon shot, huge fissures of lava are opening up everywhere. It's time to get going everyone. Full retreat!
[Lucchini] You shield Greg. Maybe it's time to piggyback on her cause you gotta amscray.
wyverncakes 7:21 pm
Unfortunately, AXI has no arms to pick Lucchini up with, so Gregory just tries to pull himself out of shock as fast as he can to fall back!
HyprKnux 1 7:21 pm
Kaito: "Better get going..." Nope, no treasures this time. Damn you, Michael!
Shaun 7:21 pm
Someone should pick up Char too before he's consumed in lava.
Alan Bunting 7:21 pm
Jukai swings down to grab Char, since nobody seems to be doing it already.
Jukai: "Hey, come on! We've gotta get out of here!"
VJockey 7:22 pm
Michael: [Kaitou Daiki! You have been DENIED!] "Come on! This way!" [Michael does his best to guide Resnick down a safe path for the Prowler to traverse! Get moving Mechwarrior!]
Techy Elf resides here 7:23 pm
*lucchini's still hovering so she backs up with the AXI.* Get to the sled! I'll catch up
Shaun 7:23 pm
With steam vents, toxic smoke and lava opening everywhere, it really looks like the last of the biggest islands of Hawaii is turning into a molten wonderland. People are running away as the Papilionidae lets him go surprisingly enough.
It seems pretty bad, and with a thunderous rumble, Kiluhea ERUPTS!
Alan Bunting (ultimatesalsa) has left the room. 7:24 pm
Alan Bunting (ultimatesalsa) has entered the room. 7:24 pm
wyverncakes 7:24 pm
AXI's pretty much falling apart at this point, but Gregory still manages to get the disintigrating mech to a sled before getting it set for an escape vector.
lionel boyd "bokanon" johnson 7:24 pm
Resnick: Aff! [He follows, jumping from spot to spot and swerving side to side with remarkable agility]
Overman Zappa 7:24 pm
MarKus doesn't like this kind of ending... Having to run from a natural disaster... "This... this is BS! Everyone got out alright... right?
Shaun 7:24 pm
Peter: Oh the humanity! You saw it here first ladies and gentlemen! The terrorist known as Metal Wolf destroyed Hawaii!
wyverncakes 7:24 pm
Truth be told though, he's all but acting in a blur.
Shaun 7:25 pm
Peter: We'll see more on this later. Back to to the studio.
wyverncakes 7:25 pm
He's got... too much on his mind now. Especially with all those things that Percolatis said at first now taking on an entirely new meaning...
Shaun 7:25 pm
With Hawaii turning into a molten wonderland, the TECZ forces getting away, the cannon fired and destroying something...
HyprKnux 1 7:25 pm
Kaito: "Mm... a shame."
Shaun 7:25 pm
MISSION
FAILED
Yes, not complete, FAILED.

Alan Bunting 7:29 pm
She just shakes her head and makes sure her passenger's still aboard before turning back to the Chalice, complaining to the open air, and by extension Char, as she returns to the ship.
