Sadei made an approving noise before talking to Teri again. Well, he did bring up some really good spell choices there.
Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin
As he left with Caim and Angelus, Devon was approached by Krillin. [color=f88c2c]"Hey, I'm sorry that you're a bit moody, but you really do have to be careful around women. They can be vicious, spiteful, and snap at you for the stupidest things. Still, how about we have that all be water under the bridge, huh? Just me, you, and Little green against the world!"[/color]
After taking a moment to think it out, Devon shook the man's hand reluctantly. "Look, just... be careful, will you, some of the people here are really strong, ans some of them wouldn't hesitate to slap you through a house."
Krillin laughed at himself. [color=f88c2c]"It wouldn't be the first time... Friends?"[/color]
The Cleric looked up from her list, hands still typing on the keyboard of the Tablet, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Of course I'm taking notes! What, do you think I'd ask for guidance and then not heed it?"
[/color]
Shaking her head with a smile, she continued, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"However, Sadei did bring up another idea earlier. How well of a smokescreen do you think fog would be? She mentioned that it could throw off some of the heat seeking sensors, as well as provide cover. I do have a similar spell called ''Obscuring Snow'[footnote]A swirling snow vapor arises around you, and follows you from that point on. The snow obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet.
A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).
[/footnote], and if what I've seen about Oto-Hime is true, then I bet she's pretty resilient to cold... Aside from that, how do some of these sound:"
[/color]
[color=0E59E4]
Code:
1. [u]Create Water:[/u] if it freezes as soon as it's made, maybe it could bind like Ice Slick. Or, even better, I might be able to blind a viewing screen.
2. [u]Bestow Curse[/u][footnote] -6 to an ability score; -4 on attack rolls, saves, and checks; [b]or[/b] 50% chance of losing each action.[/footnote]: Kinda like Doom, but more damaging, and harder to remove.
3. [u]Brumal Stiffining[/u][footnote] Brittle weapons' hardness reduced by 5[/footnote]: Might be able to screw around with the mech's armor, and make it easier to break it.
4. [u]Darkness[/u][footnote] 20-ft. radius of supernatural shadow[/footnote]: Kinda like Obscuring Snow, it's an effective cover because even things with darkvision can't see through it, and most conventional lighting doesn't pierce it. However, REALLY strong floodlights or high enough levels of magical light can dispel it.
5. [u]Searing Light[/u][footnote]Ray deals 1d8/two levels damage, more against undead.[/footnote]: The damage is reduced a little with constructs, but it's insta-damage to whatever it hits. Shame the Angels aren't employing undead, this would SO insta-gib them..."
[/color]
Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin
Ton Ton looked over Krillin with interest, and wondered aloud, [color=15650D]"You've been slapped through houses..? That doesn't sound too healthy..."[/color]
Following that, he tugged on Devon's pants leg and asked, [color=15650D]"What's an Acquaintance?"[/color]
Dani
"Well, we'll see how my shield works now. Time to have fun Viscus." The android said booting up the pack. It began to hum quietly and softly, a shimmer in the air around herself as the shield came up. "I designed it to deflect lasers and block bullets. so a sitrep on their weapons would be good." She said as the elevator stopped at the bottom and the doors slowly opened.
[HEADING=2]Okay, it is time to start the space battle. So anything that needs to be done or said can be done during the battle or in a flashback.
Also to people that I didn't quote ... sorry.
The dark blackness of space was quiet and uneventful. The Earth's atmosphere was almost crimson and filled with the metal from destroyed satellites and space stations. On each side of the Earth was an army which was soon to collide, and the people of Earth could only look up and wonder what is going to happen, will they be saved or condemned? In each of the spaceships, carriers or battleships the only thing which populated the air was the tension of battle.
Everyone was preparing for the on-coming battle.
The Spartan was in the hanger, waiting for the moment he could fly and battle so he could just infiltrate the Blackhawke, so he can at least have a slim chance of saving himself and his best friend. The anger still sat inside of him, he some what knew why this was all happening.
The young school students on the other hand were looking outside, admiring the cold space until the point lasers, missiles and everything else will fly both at them and away. They had the same goal as the spartan but had more and less information. They wished to save and protect everyone from the slaughter, but they know it cannot end that way.
The two held hands and the stone was in-between the palms, giving off small light. That stone was their only way of accomplishing their goal.
The imprisoned author was lying on his cold jail bed. The Blackhawke was as impressive even though he designed it, which made him worry about the heroes side. He wanted good to win no matter what, but he is only human and wondered about his own fate. Will they accept him back, will they blame him ... and will they kill him? The author known as Shaun didn't really care about that, he only wanted to save his creations, no, his friends.
The Archangel of Fire sat in his Command chair, he worried not about the battle, but he only worried about his brothers. He could not leave him like this, and he will definitely leave him to destroy the Earth he fights to defend. Michael still has his doubts about the so called 'heroes' in his opinion, though when he remembered the stone he smiled. He knew what he had to do as a smirk appeared on his face.
The cloaked stranger was ready to finish this. He was determined to destroy those who hurt him and his older brother, yet he was scared for unknown reasons. The question of his existence still remained in the air, yet the answer was that he was suppose to exist but yet not exist. The lack of knowledge made him angry and curse the God he knew all too well. He still wanted to bath in the blood of the people who hurt him.
Dark Tomoya.
Location: Blackhawke | Archangel Armada | Around the Moon.
The evil smirk of the newly made Demon Prince shattered any emotion in the Command Center.
He was ready to kill once more and his body has become fully healed and adjusted to this new change.
The darkness which swirled around in him only grew more.
Yet he did not question much, his only objective was to kill everything and everyone. This is the only thing he could think of thanks to the person who held his strings like a puppet master.
"Okay, let's end this. Fire the main cannon on my go. Then charge in." The evil Tomoya could only say to the people on the computers behind him. Both armies could see the Blackhawke charge up a giant rail gun which sat at the front of it's bow. "Send them to Hell." Where the words muttered.
In the next second a giant blue beam emerged from the bow and sailed across space and managed to catch one ship in it's fire. Tomoya continued to smile as he allowed his whole fleet to charge the opponent. The Dark Angel fleet soon began to sail across space, firing at the army of hero ships.
The second the first shot was fired, the entire base entered high alert, Sirens blared as Striders and Hagane troopers rushed to positions.
Among them was Jenny and Blade as they ran to rally the group. "Tomoya's attacking! Now or never people!" "Pilots, To stations! Boarding Crews, to Teleports!"
Despite past tensions, soon it was all dropped as the Enemy neared.
Hiryu
Hiryu meanwhile was attempting to contact Tajuh in order to call out their Bombings and Boarding Crews to prevent either friendly fire or wasting missiles and ammo.
Also, hopefully get a Strider Teleporter on the Hagane for ease of access or, should the battle be lost, ease of escape.
David
With shaky hands, David took his latest Serum Shot, easing his shaking a little.
"D-damn side e-effects..." He sighed as he took up his weapon and went towards one of the boarding crews, his shakiness would throw off his aim, but when you can punch though walls, who needs it?
Rugal
After a nervously waiting for this moment, Rugal donned his Omega Armour and made his way towards the first empty Mecha and slowly made his way inside it, taking his sweet time, putting off going out There as much as possible.
He spent nearly all of yesterday talking to Teri about being prepared for this moment, but dread filled his every action as he sat in the cockpit and waited for the order...
Kazuya
The Day after his sparring with Slindis, Kazuya was overseeing the main screen, viewing the space above earth, labelled with ships and Mech Units.
[color=9f2e68]"Well...Moment of truth..."[/color] He sighed as sat down to relay orders between the Striders and the Hagane.
"Mostly small arms and possibly some RPGS. Good Luck, if you die, I will be able to break our deal and we'll both be a lot happier."
The lift opened with a *DING!*, alerting every single BOW in the area.
The Door opened and they all stared at the Woman as she stepped down.
....
They weren't attacking at first, they just seemed to confused at what to do, having done so long without having to kill everything on sight.
With a somewhat bewildered look on his face, one soldier fired his AK-47 at Dani, leading the way for others to do the same.
THEN the bloodlust returned and the entire hoard charged into battle.

Having fully rested up, He went over to the Hangar. Tajuh had pulled him aside to show him his machine. Although it was supposed to amplify some of the uses of his magic, he was still unsure if he could fully pilot this machine. Still, as the machine booted up, he saw that the machine was more than capable of fighting.
The trick would be how those side bits would be piloted, then he remembered the imps.
"Ignis, Flagrun! Mind helping me out in this one? There's a few things that this Cybuster that would be perfect for you two!" The first ones he'd found in Hell nodded and jumped into the small side pods, and a nervous confidence filled him. He wasn't quite sure how he'd make it through this, but he wasn't going to die before he saw Ella again.
As he boarded the machine, a song began to play within his head.
Height: 28.48m
Weight: 38.4t
Armor Material: Orichalconium
Main Power Source: Fulcanelli-type eternal engine
Pilot: Devon Hauxwell
Weapon Systems:
Caloric Missile:
-Two homing missiles are sent at the enemy. This weapon can be used in Cybird mode.
Vanity Ripper:
-An upgraded Discutter. Devon uses the Cybuster's speed to strike the target with his sword for high damage.
High Familiar:
-Ignis and Flagrun launch in pods and assault the enemy with blazing wind shots. This weapon can be used in Cybird mode.
Cyflash:
-A high-energy burst blasts forth from the machine, highly damaging any enemies within its wide area. This attack notably does not damage any thing the pilot designates as a friendly. Uses up a large amount of energy.
Akashic Buster:
-The Cybuster draws a hexagram in mid-air with its sword, summoning the bird of flames. Then Cybuster would rush forwards and transform in Cybird mode, merging with the flaming bird, making the flames change to a blue hue, and then crashing to its target.
Vanity Ripper's Final Song:
-Pulling out the Cybuster's sword, Devon channels an immense amount of magic into Cybuster. The Cybuster would then charge towards the target at high speed attacking the target so viciously and rapidly with the sword that an illusion is generated so that multiple "Cybusters" appear to be striking the target from all directions, its vapor trails creating the image of a pentagram. After forming the pentagram, the Cybuster would end the attack with a swift straight slash, finally ripping the helpless target into ribbons.
Lt. Cmdr Browning, Hiryu
Hiryu's messages were responded to by the same man that had initiated contact. "Strider Hiryu, in the event of an emergency, we are prepared to take your Striders on board. If you wish to coordinate the attacks, consult Captain Jake. Just take note that Commander Tajuh has already assigned a detachment of machines to aid in the defense of your station."
Slindis
After being fully rested from the previous day's excellent sparring match in which the two fought until both of them had been too tired to move and they were both dragged out of the room by Lupito, she found the machine that Tajuh had assigned. Although she didn't know too much on how to pilot, he had told her that it would be just like fighting normally.
[color=c20000]"The name's a mouthful, though. Ialdabaoth? What sane person names their equipment that?"[/color]
As she got in the machine, she felt her Ki mix in with the machine, and putting on the lightweight gloves and boots allowed her movement to directly control the machine's movements. Upon booting up, it showed a small video of what it was capable of.
Height: 24.7 meters
Weight: 77.2 tons
Weapon Systems:
Machine God Fist (機神拳 Kishin Ken?)
-The Ialdabaoth jumps to the back of its enemy and delivers a stunning backhand strike. It follows up with a flurry of kicks that eventually sends the enemy upwards. As the enemy falls down, it delivers a powerful punch that knocks the enemy away.
Machine God Twin Beast Attack (機神双獣撃 Kishin Sōjū Geki?)
-The Ialdabaoth gathers energy around its fists and punches forward, launching two dragon-like blasts that enter the target's armor and bursting out.
Machine God Furious Attack Fist (機神猛撃拳 Kishin Mōgeki Ken?)
-The Ialdabaoth would walk towards the enemy, with a wasteland background in the horizon, then dash with its whole body, now glowing with life energy from its pilot. The energy paralyzes its target, and the Ialdabaoth delivers a combination of punches and kicks, and eventually launches the enemy up to the air. The Ialdabaoth would follow up by jumping to the enemy and delivers a shattering kick to the opponent, while Slindis recites the name of the attack, with the Japanese kanji displayed on the screen.
Roar Supreme Machine God Fist (轟覇機神拳 Gōha Kishin Ken?)
-The Ialdabaoth charges and explodes with Slindis' life energy, leaving a massive crater. The machine quickly dashes forward and proceeds to hammer away at the target rapidly and lets out a final punch that causes a dragon-like ki to rise and pierce the enemy, as the area explodes and the Japanese kanji of the attack displayed on the screen.
[color=c20000]"I think I can work with this. It's a good thing that match yesterday gave me a lot of endurance training."[/color]
Rugal
As he sat in the cockpit, the machine began to boot up. As he saw the various weapons systems, he thought that they would be fairly effective. Maybe he could live through the fight with a semblance of dignity.
Then an image of the machine flashed on the screen as the OS fully booted up before it clipped to a readout of the weapons systems, and judging by the image, the machine was called the Fairlion G Type.
Height: 15.4 meters
Weight: 28.3 tons
Weapons Systems
Assault Blade
-A mecha-sized sword used for close-combat enemy encounters, relying on motorized teeth (like the ones on a chainsaw).
Rolling Cannon
-The "ringlets" of hair on the back of the Fairlion's head are actually the barrels of a pulse beam cannon. The weapon's name comes from the rotational firing pattern of the guns.
Vostok Laser
-Two emitters in the Fairlion's shoulders combine with a third emitter in the abdomen to fire a large laser beam.
Sonic Cutter
-The W-I3NK System is activated to the use of only one Fairlion unit. With its shoulders extended from the back to the front, the Fairlion unit rushes towards the enemy, momentarily stunning the unit, similar to the Guarlion's Sonic Breaker attack. Two high-frequency energy blades are formed on the arms of the Fairlion, and the unit begins to slash the enemy with precision-based attacks.
Royal Heartbreaker
-The W-I3NK System is activated to the use of both Fairlion units. A series of timed attacks is performed, utilizing the Sonic Cutter first, and ending off the combination with a charged energy attack thrown directly at the enemy. In Original Generations, the combination ends with both Fairlions charging at the enemy with a Sonic Breaker.
If he could stomach the appearance, the Fairlion was supposed to be a fairly agile machine. The mentioning of this W-I3nk system was a bit odd, but it didn't sound too bad. But who would be piloting the S type?
Krillin
The bald headed man went over the radio to contact the Striders and came in contact with Kazuya. [color=f88c2c]"Heheh... guess they shoved you aside as well, huh?"[/color]
On the other end, Kazuya felt that something was up with this man being there: every man he'd seen for both the Striders and the Hagane seemed far more confident and capable than the person he was talking to. Was this some kind of joke?
Tajuh
As he saw the others head into their machines, he walked over to his pride and joy. He'd fought with this machine for many years, and he knew the machine's ins and outs, every single one of its quirks. The Typhoon may look fairly plain, but that was a mistake many made once.
The resulting aftermath didn't allow any room for them to think of anything much more.
"Typhoon, it's about time we showed those men outside who they've angered." He jumped into the cockpit, immediately feeling at home.
Height: 21.9 meters
Weight: 78.5 tons
Weapons Systems:
Split Missile
-Standard missiles used for long range attacks.
Jet Magnum S
-An attack exclusively for Tajuh Silvawind, the Plasma Buckler mounted on the left arm is energized. Tajuh charges at the enemy and delivers a hard tackle, then rush towards it and proceeds to hammer the target away with multiple jabs and punches, before kneeing the unit into the air, then slamming it back down to the ground with an overhead grapple maneuver. As the enemy bounces off the ground and ascends, Tajuh gives chase and discharges the stored Plasma Buckler energy against its target and breaks away from the attack, as the enemy explodes.
F2W Cannon
-This weapon fires normal beam rounds and cannon shots. The Gespenst MK II M Custom takes out the F2W Cannon and proceeds to pelt its target with a few beam shots, while firing off two pods of Split Missiles, at the same time. With the enemy stunned by the incoming shots and missiles, the Gespenst switches the weapon into its configuration to a long-range beam cannon and charges it up. Once done, a solid wave of energy is fired at the enemy, with a shout of "Discharge!". The target is destroyed, and the cannon folds back into its original position.
Jet Phantom
-Charging both Plasma Bucklers, Kai flies headlong to its target, and executes a acrobatic leg drop that momentarily stuns the enemy. The Gespenst MK II M Custom begins to vent plasma energy from its Plasma Generator, and as the energy builds up on the Plasma Bucklers, Kai begins to pummel its target, finally sending it away. With the energy at maximum, Kai delivers a punch with the Plasma Bucklers straight through the enemy. The amount of electrical energy from the discharge is so great, that the enemy crashes to the ground and explodes.
Melethia
As she looked around the hangar, she jumped into the machine that Tajuh had pulled her aside and shown her the other day. Shortly after, she'd spent a large amount of time in the simulator to find out the intricacies of how the machine responded, and she clearly enjoyed the large amount of versatility that the machine afforded. Sure, it looked a bit off, but when she took a look at what it could do, it was worth getting laughed at a few times. After all, they wouldn't get a second chance.

"So, this is the S type, huh? I'll show those Kinslayers exactly what I can do!" She ran over the information from the other day, having gone through a grueling amount of combat training to make sure she knew how this machine worked. After all, if the person in the G type was a bit bad, she'd have to take control for them as well.
It was only he saw the on-screen specs that Rugal realized just what he just got into.
"....What?....This is a Joke....Jesus christ...." He sighed as he brought up the built in AI.
"Okay....Now....I just have one request....I might get squeamish out there....and in the case of me getting...."Nervous"...I would like you to filter out the screams....Can you do that?..." He asked as the time came up for him to blast off, dreading the seconds as they passed.
Slindis and Melethia saw one of the radios turn on. "-What? No! not the radio, for the love of god, I said I wanted to see the ESCAPE PROTOCOLS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM COMMUNICATING TO YOU!?.....Wait...We're live?...What?....Blasted Intercoms..."
Kazuya
Kazuya stared at Krillin as he assumed he was stuffed aside for everyone else.
[color=9f2e68]"....You ever assume anything like that, you will not wake up the following morning..."[/color] He flatly threatened before returning his attention to the main screen.
Krillin could tell from the scars on his face and his Power Level that he could blow him away in a heartbeat.
Tajuh was the first to launch as he took a look at the large fleet inbound. "Those of you defending the Striders, don't let even one of them through! Everyone else, work together in small teams to pick them apart! Tomoya's fleet may have numbers, but we have the technology and experience to tear a hole through them!" After the launch, he started the attack by shooting out the radar systems of one of the ships as the Hagane put up his barriers, then he zigzagged in an extremely erractic pattern to close in on the fleet at high speeds. One thing he knew from hundreds of years of experience is that no matter what the defense systems of a battleship were, its options plummeted at close range.
That was unfortunate for the first Angel ship, as Tajuh punched straight through to the bridge and tore a hole in it, sending a massive blast of electricity to destroy the weapons systems as well as killing the command structure of the ship.
Slindis, Melethia
As the two launched, Melethia contacted Rugal through a video feed. "Wheathair, you're in the G unit? I think we'll both be workin' together to tear through those kinslayers! Don't worry, I've got ya covered!" She began firing Salvos from the Rolling Launcher to give some breathing room for the others to head out.
Slindis heard the transmittion to Rugal and opened a Comm Link after a bit of fumbling around. [color=c20000]"Look, Rugal, I'm expecting an answer for that question after we finish."[/color] After heading out, she went into the Water Stance to allow her to keep completely focused on the battle as she punched through a few of the Angel Units that got too close to the Hagane.
On Rugal's part, the AI silently acknowledged his request as it brought him to the launch pad.
Kazuya, Krillin
Krillin laughed at Kazuya with a bit of nervousness. [color=f88c2c]"Hah, joke's on you! The Little Green from Namek made me immortal right before I came here!"[/color]
"Ok, Launch. Here we go. Just stick the...The Mech on auto and...We'll get back safely...I mean, how bad can i-"
Rugal's audio cut out as the on board AI heeded his wishes of not letting his fear be shown in such a matter.
While most Mecha's blasted off, Rugal's....Just sorta fell toward off the launch pad due to him not starting the trusters and started spinning head over heels, all while the Mecha kept a perfectly rigid action figure like pose.
Thus the Mighty King of Fighters spun towards the battle zone until he actually managed to get the Thrusters online.
The feed came back about a minute to a red faced Rugal who just spent his entire time screaming in fear off-screen. "-AAAAHHHH! OKAY! I THINK I GOT IT! OH MY JESUS! WHY DIDN'T WE JUST FIRE UP SOME NUKES!?" He said over the radio as he attempted to get used to the flight controls, a expression of sheer terror on his face the whole while. "....Ummmm...Computer...."Fire"?..."
Thus his machine began to use it's Rolling Cannon on the incoming Enemies.
Kazuya, Krillin
Kazuya merely glared at the small man.
[color=9f2e68]"If that is truly the case, then perhaps you wouldn't mind me stuffing you in a punching bag and having a nice course of anger management then?!"[/color] He threatened as Tajuh took out one of the Battleships.
[color=9f2e68]"Devil to Tajuh, Ignore that ship, We're sending over a Strider to finish off the survivors, Over."[/color] He commanded as he watched as Blade stood ready to lead the charge, hoping he wasn't going to be sent into the wall of the ship.
Hiryu
"Understood. Kazuya will mark out our targets for our Teleport Raids, they will disable the ships from the inside so please abstain from attacking the ones we call out. May fortune favor us." Hiryu said to Browning as Kazuya sent the first team.
Teri awoke in her room, thankful she had no dreams the night before. Perhaps the lengthy discussion between her and Rugal regarding spells tired her out more than she thought. Following her morning prayers; for spells, keeping a cool head in battle and the like, the Cleric walked to the Hangar, Staff in hand and wolf at her side.
Notable attacks:
- Shooting an ice beam at the enemies
- Affecting a wide area with a blizzard targeting all within range
- Giant Ice Wolf finisher.
Mounting up in the newly christened Oto-hime, Garm going to his designated combat place, Teri overheard a transmission from Rugal coming from... What? That machine?
"-What? No! not the radio, for the love of god, I said I wanted to see the ESCAPE PROTOCOLS! DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM COMMUNICATING TO YOU!?.....Wait...We're live?...What?....Blasted Intercoms..."
Suppressing a laugh, Teri hit her intercom to Rugal's machine, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Just take a minute to let your AI explain the basic systems. Work WITH it, don't try to dominate it. Besides, you've got us to help out too! There's no need to worry, sir."
[/color]
After releasing the button, she placed a water bottle in the other support pod, and smiled, knowing full well what she had in mind for the empty place. Following that, she had Dimitri run a systems check over the machine, to which she recieved,
[color=3897E0]
Code:
"Systems are a go, Madam. I am synchronized with Oto-Hime, and ready to take commands."
[/color]
[color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Good. Sadei, hope you're ready, because we've some spells to be casting..."
[/color]
With that, Oto-Hime advanced to Space, and began making careful motions to ready a spell....
Entropic Shield
Abjuration
Level: Clr 1, Luck 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
A magical field appears around you, glowing with a chaotic blast of multicolored hues. This field deflects incoming arrows, rays, and other ranged attacks. Each ranged attack directed at you for which the attacker must make an attack roll has a 20% miss chance (similar to the effects of concealment). Other attacks that simply work at a distance are not affected.
Code:
Teri casts Entropic Shield! It will be 24 seconds before she can cast another 1st level spell...
As she was casting this, she called out to Rugal again, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Stay close for a few moments, I'll drop a Shield of Faith on you a bit after I recover from this one. That'll make you harder to hit, remember?"
[/color]
Slaughter-Burn Family - Caim, Angelus, Cutie Bruisers
After the little family woke from their shared quarters, they found themselves directed to the Hangar, and placed in various mechs, apparently handpicked for the lot of them. Before each member went their seperate ways, the pact partners (Caim and Angelus) touched foreheads for the briefest of moments, and then went off to their various assignments.
Dynamic Knuckle
The arms can be launched from the base of the elbow to act as a mid-ranged weapon.
General Blaster
The two circular shoulder plates can fire energy beams.
Guardian Sword
A smaller sword apparently mounted in one of the General Guardian's shins that can be used for close-range combat.
Zankantoo Denkōsekka (Lightning Speed, Colossal Burst in the English localization)
Sanger uses the Colossal Blade in its base form with a swift swipe in the air to create a strong enough wind to cut the enemy.
Zankantoo Daisharin (Big Swing, Colossal Spinner in the English localization)
Sanger uses the liquid memory metal to enlarge the Colossal Blade into a larger kukri-like blade. It then flings it as if it were a boomerang.
Zankantoo Gakai (Fang Break)
Using the Colossal Blade in its base form, Sanger rushes past an opponent and slashes them with one swift stroke.
Zankantoo Raikoo Giri (Lightning Slice, Colossal Thunder in the English localization)
Sanger enlarges the Colossal Blade into a large broadsword. It then uses it to perform a giant vertical strike from below the opponent and then performing a swift horizontal strike so fast that it is almost invisible to the human eye. In Original Generations, Sanger would perform a series of slashes, before ending with a clean, vertical cut. This attack is also called the Zankantō Shippu Jinrai.
Zankantoo Un'yoo no Tachi (Blade of a Shining Cloud, Colossal Storm in the English localization)
Sanger enlarges the Colossal Blade to such a point that it's almost too large for the arms to even handle. Sanger lifts the weapon high above the head of the Dygenguard and proceeds to take to the sky. The Dygenguard drops down with a single bisecting slash as a finishing attack.
Tatsumaki Zankantoo (Tornado Blade in the English localization)
A flashy, borderline-ridiculous, yet overwhelmingly powerful combination attack between the Dygenguard and the Aussenseiter, piloted by Rätsel. Rätsel transforms the Aussenseiter to its Pferde (German for Equidae) Mode and lets Sanger's Dygenguard ride it. Riding towards the enemy as a mecha-scale samurai on horseback, Sanger then strikes with the Colossal Blade in a high-speed horizontal slash, then either cleaves the enemy vertically afterwards (Original Generation 2 version) or spins the Colossal Blade very rapidly to generate a whirlwind that carries the bisected enemy mecha up into the air to explode (Alpha 3 version) before adding a final horizontal slash upon the enemy (Original Generations version). During this attack, the Dygenguard wears the Aussenseiter's cape on its back.
Getting into the cockpit and situating himself was easy enough for the mute, but what amused him about his mech was the fact that it too had a proclivity for weaponry. In this case, an enormous blade. With a dark grin, the warrior looked to the battlefield before him, and his PDA rang,
Code:
"Time to show those Angels why pact partners are feared.
Are you ready, Angelus?"
Angelus
Notable Attacks:
- Megiddo Flame can target wide swaths and has smart targeting
- Familiar can ram into enemies with fire
- Caloric Smash for a long-range assault, and of course the
- Finisher with the Pillars of flame during the startup alone, leading to a stab that produces fire in a large area around the attacked foe.
The Dragoness smiled in the cockpit of her mech, taking in the fire motif about her with a swelled chest. Obviously, Tajuh knew how to appeal to her better sensibilities.
"A draconic machine for a dragon. I like it. Yes, Caim, I shall lift off in a moment..."
With the machine coming online, and the AI inside readying itself, the dragoness couldn't help but give a dark laugh herself. This proved to be far more interesting than she had previously thought. In fact... Was that excitement she felt?
"Caim's getting to me more than I thought... Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, how are things on your end?"
VLS Missile Launcher
The Giganspada fires mulitple missiles hidden within its fuselage.
Giga Wide Blaster
Similar to the Giganscudo's weapon of the same name, a powerful beam of energy is fired from the center of the Giganspada's fuselage. This attack damages multiple enemies, as seen in Original Generations.
Gigante Cannon
These four oversized beam cannons fire a destructive stream of beam energy at a single target.
[color=15650D]"A-Okay, Ms. Angelus! Me and Ton Ton are sharing this one! We'll kick twice as much booty, right Cadolbolg?"[/color]
"Yes! Friend Ton Ton and I shall show Mother and Father how much we've grown as pact partners!" the small dragon exclaimed, his little paws adjusting to the console as much as he could.
For whatever reason, this Machine, which easily towered over the rest of the machines, was being piloted by two of the smallest members of the Rising Dawn. Perhaps Tajuh had a sense of humor after all? Whatever the reason, the family found themselves outside the Hangar without any issues, and into the vastness of space; ready to take on whatever the Angels had to dish out.
Melethia stifled some laughter as she started to take over the controls for Rugal's machine, handling the major flight problems. "Calm down, Wheathair! I'm gonna be helpin' ya through this also, so pull yaself together. Anyways, we can go poke some holes in those ships if ya want." If Rugal could see past his fear, he could see that the amount of freedom here was something the girl took to very well.
As Slindis began getting more comfortable with the fighting, she responded to Rugal's statement. [color=c20000]You need to focus unlss you want to get killed! Or is actual combat of this scale something you hadn't prepared for?"[/color]
Kazuya, Krillin
Krillin stammered. [color=f88c2c]"Well, there's no need to go that far, you jerk!"[/color] Krillin did his best to keep the Blue Dragon up to date on what was happening, and so far, the battlefield seemed extremely chaotic.
Hiryu, Tajuh
Tajuh called back in on that same channel. "Understood. I'll start working on some more of their ships." He advanced to the gap in between some of the massive ships, then darted between the two. Unless they eanted to get the others caught in the crossfire, they couldn't afford to launch any serious attacks.
Utiliziung the opportunity, he delivered attacks to the hangar areas of the ships, delivering surgical strikes to their combat capacity and causing even more havoc from the machines detonating onboard. "Caim, Angelus, you've been on battlefields before. Pick your targets and take them out! Teri, provide support where you can, and be careful of any openings that you see: it could be a setup. Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg, you either hold the line or get directly in the center of their forces and fire away. The Ganduro can handle the beating, but use your best judgements."Devon
As he started fighting, he called out to one of the other fire imps. "Frank, could you make sure that Angelus has a familiar for her machine? it feels like hers is much like mine is, so she might be limiting herself without one. If she doesn't, back her up, and anything she says goes unless I say otherwise." The imp grumbled before appearing in the spare Familiar seat of Angie's machine and roughly communicated to her in her native language.
"Yes, because it's a well known fact that every Dojo in the world is actually a training school for the usage of Mechs to be used in Outer Space!" Rugal quipped back to Slindis as Melethia assisted him in using his mech.
Soon, he was able to actually aim and train his weapons fire, However, the fact that a single hit could kill him and leave him lifeless in space lingered in his mind.
"...Okay...Let's try this again..."Assault. Blade"..." He said to the computer as the Chainsaw Blade unfolded.
"...I can work with that...Right...Focus...Focus..." He said as he slapped the sides of his face, his hair messed from sweat.
Thus, he locked onto a smaller ship and went for the kill, Slicing it cleanly with his blade and watching the soldiers within race out into the vacuum of space.
That was the first time he felt squeamish about killing people.
"Don't keep your circuits charged." Dani said as the ak bullets were deflected around of herself. When they all charged in, Dani pulled out two sticks. she held out her pointer and middle finger on each hand, making invisible connection points. Then the entire shield bubble took on a blue hue.
Crossing her arms and spinning; the invisible shield blades took to work and she passed inbetween two of the infected. There were red hot and glowing slices in them before they fell to the floor.
With the two behind her in pieces, Dani in a crouched position with her arms crossed across her chest, ready to continue; The girl looked up. "Ready to die?" she asked them all.
These being mostly mindless Zombies, they paid little heed to her taunts and charged forward.
From what she could gather, there was 3 main kinds, Melee attackers that used Stun Rods and Knifes, Snipers with Machine Guns and the Brutes that were picking up rubble and throwing it at her.
Still, this was going to be a one sided battle...
Deep in the heart of the complex, another more powerful force was awakening...
"Sir, Yes sir! Oh, and he's gone already... Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, get over here! I got something nice for ya!"
[/color]
The enormous mech drifted towards Oto-Hime, and Teri channeled her spell, Sadei's promise of being a conduit holding true and helping to supress some of the strain as she did so. Upon doing so, she gently tapped the enormous mech, a shimmering light spreading over it after she did.
Code:
Teri casts Shield of Faith - really, do I have to rehash this? Oh fine. This spell creates a shimmering, magical field around the touched creature that averts attacks. The spell grants the subject a +2 deflection bonus to AC, with an additional +1 to the bonus for every six levels you have (maximum +5 deflection bonus at 18th level). As Teri is a level 7 Cleric, the Giganscuro Duro now has a +3 Deflection bonus against attacks ! 12 seconds before another 1st level spell.
After the effect took hold, she pointed Oto-Hime's trident at the forces, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Go get em, boys!"
[/color]
[color=15650D]"Gotcha! Let's do this thing, buddy! Now... What can this monster do..?"[/color] "The AI says to fly forward and hit this button!"
[color=15650D]"Fine by me!"[/color]
With that, the duo flew the floating wall towards the main bulk of the forces, many of the shots either bouncing off the shield, or being disregarded by the mech's armor; and the duo pushed down on a big red button, which enabled each of them to... Pilot an arm? Regardless, Ton Ton grabbed one of the controls and pulled back, releasing the control right when an enemy mech came into sight, causing an enormous fist to come into contact with the poor sap; with Cadolbolg following close after him. When the second fist slammed into the machine, the machine crumbled under the force, and resembled a crushed can of soda. Satisfied with their work, the Cutie Bruisers turned their attention to their next victims targets.
Caim
In a similar vein, Caim was having lots of fun testing out his new blade. With a grin that could cause grown men to weep openly, the Blood Knight lived up to his name as he began to cut swathes into lower level soldiers; a move that aided in cutting down the sea of fire coming their way. However, his glee was cut short when he saw a stream of fire take down the next machine in his sight, from which he saw coming from...
Angelus
Getting used to the controls, as well as the new occupant of her assist, was a bit of a task for Angelus. However, after getting a general rundown by the AI, the Red Dragon noticed a strange sensation begin to overcome her. It was an itching sensation in her hands; like they usually felt when she was about to start a fire in her human form. With piqued curiosity, she said, "Computer, explain."
The AI drabbled on about how the mechs currently in use were modified so that their wielders were properly ready for fighting, and in her case, would allow her to channel her dragonfire into the machine... When that last line came up, the dragoness understood, and allowed the reservoir of draconic power within her take it's course.
Which turned out to fuel a duel set of flamethrowers in her side; incinerating a machine Caim was about to come in on. Without prompting the dragon already knew her partner was angry for the steal, but decided not to listen to his complaints. With a dark laugh, she instead turned to the enemies around her, and did as she knew best.
Once he got a handle on the main systems, Rugal was in the swing of the action, the assisted movements from both the AI and Melethia showing him what he was doing wrong and what he needed to be doing.
He just zoned out everything else in order to try and forget where he was.
As the fight went on, explosions from Strider Bombing Attacks managed to do a lot more damage then Hiryu had first expected, giving Melethia a sense of pride in her judgement call. "Alright, "Vostok Laser", Sounds like some god awful harbinger of death......" He mused on the feed as he went to try it out.
The Mecha rearranged itself, two large cannons unfolded, press and forget, one less Angel Ship in the sky. "...Give it a resign and change the color and consider it sold!" He joked as he laid waste to all in his path.
Dani's main shield was absorbing the bullets fairly well, deflecting them off and into the now surrounding crowd. Looking around, she had a memory flash back to her. "Eight trigrams palm rotation!" She shouted and began to spin, her blades weaving their path through the flesh and bone of her assailants.
When she stopped spinning, there was a mound of corpses, well, diced corpses around herself. She had taken out a fair amount of the melee attackers. The meat shield had been protecting her from rubble. "Viscus, status report." she said to him.
"Defenses are offline, disabled by the BOWs in order to stop them from killing them, Power needs to be restored, sending a map route."
Viscus answered as a Mutated Mr. X Tyrant charged at Dani, Claws outstretched and swinging, hoping to take off at least a limb and given how sharp they were, they might just be able to do just that.
Adding to the attack, several of the Pet Lickers began to drop from the ceiling in a attempt to strike from above.
