- Summary: A dinosaur attacks in Japan. NERV defends against it, and a new hero is revealed - Neo Getter Robo.
<Pose Tracker> Hayato Jin has posed.
It is Go Ichimonji's very no good bad day, one could surmise. First, a bad competitor in a fight, and then he had to meet Hayato Jin, and now that competitor, a dinosaur, is in a giant Mechasaur robot.
The docked cruise ship on the ports of Japan where the illegal fights were happening is being sunk by the Mechasaur, a massive red machine with two long and extended dark green horns(?) and a large tail. The dinosaur fighter was currently climbing into the cockpit, closing up, and preparing to do more damage, to civilians and terrain alike.
But that's not what's important.
Wherever Go Ichimonji might have gotten to, Hayato Jin, alone, stands over him. "You're still alive. Good. The Dinosaur Empire wants you - for your strong body, not your empty head - and I think there's a more useful need for you the way you are."
The Mechasaur begins to turn, tracking. Hayato simply turns to the young man. "Survive tonight, and you might have a future. Die, and well..."
The tail whips up, as Hayato eyes the highway - their best destination from the port.
"I guess you won't."
The mechasaur, as they speak (and hopefully move), is crossing through to the raised highway, and they have no chance on foot. If only there were trucks nearby...
Hayato pulls out his phone as he moves. First, he sends a small signal to two individuals. Then, he taps in a long passcode - a digital red alert. NISAR signals blare at their headquarters, and the message spreads to NERV quickly.
The dinosaurs have returned.
<Pose Tracker> Neo Getter Team has posed.
Go Ichimonji, soaking wet from having to swim out of a sinking cruise liner, might be an empty-headed monkey of a man, but his feet are street-smart, and his feet are telling him two things:
1: The plan of 'climb up the Mechasaur to punch its pilot's brains out some more' is almost certainly a non-starter.
2. In the middle of a crisis, follow the man who seems like he knows what he's doing.
So he keeps pace with Hayato easily. "Stop talkin' all high-and-mighty, dude, I don't plan to die to an asshole like that. So what's your game plan, genius, run away and keep bein' smug while people are dyin' out here?"
There's the proof that he's an idiot, he's talking back to Hayato Jin.
=== MEANWHILE AT NISAR ===
"Gai! It's time!" Sho Tachibana barks at her wingman, Gai Daido. "Captain's ordering us to deploy."
"Wait, Sho, we don't have our third yet, what are we supposed to - "
"He says he has a plan for that, deploy Neo Eagle on remote pilot following us."
"The captain's crazy."
"Probably, yeah, but the footage we're getting can't be denied. It's a Mechasaur. It's what we trained for. So let's do this thing."
Shortly after, three unique jets are raised onto the runway at the laboratory: One rounded and sleek in blue, a red hyper-streamlined fighter, and a bulky greenish-black craft. One after the other they burn into the sky, accelerating to hypersonic speeds towards Captain Jin's distress beacon. In only a matter of minutes, they'll arrive on the scene, distracting the Mechasaur from its trampling rampage with a barrage of vulcans and rockets.
<Pose Tracker> Ouka Nagisa has posed.
Ouka Nagisa has been absent, both from Tokyo-3 Municipal and the NERV channels, since the ninth. The last official report on her status and whereabouts was that she was rendered delirious by a mysterious locker room gas explosion and was taken away by the authorities for care. Since then her homework was sent, and apparently received as it came back completed. Though one can't help but wonder... IF it was Ouka doing her own homework?
Though that invites one to consider what poor grunt got assigned to finish Ouka's high school trigonometry homework in her stead.
Any attempt to contact The School regarding her condition, status, or whereabouts was met with silence. Whether or not Seolla was willing to share details with certain individuals is uncertain - likely depending on the individual, and even then her information would have likely lacked any specificity.
She was on a military transport ship undergoing the last checks with Dr. Cero when the NISAR alert came in through the NERV channel frequency of her communicator. His expression is less than pleased, and as Ouka rises to her feet it transforms to one of concern. "You're still recovering from your treatments." He begins, trying to sound stern.
She looks at Cuervo, and gives a solemn nod, "Acknowledged, I'll be careful. Though there are civilians near the port, and reports of a ship sinking. And we're one of the closest units able to deploy..."
That doesn't resolve Cuervo's concerned expression, but he does sigh. Especially with her recent treatments... it's unlikely he would be able to convince her to just let others respond to this conflict. He nods his ascent, and watching as The First Boosted Child sprints out of the room to the storage bay.
...
Shortly later, a XM9 Gernsback activates and pulls itself free of the freight harness it was held in. The unit climbs out of the cargo bay of the military transport, and can see the tell-tale sign of combat off in the distance. Broadcasting a G-Hound IFF signature, she also sends out a message over an open local broadband frequency: "Aurum-1 reporting. I was in the area and had access to a Gernsback. I'm making my way to the port: ETA 5 Minutes."
With that, the Arm Slave begins to leap frog from ship to ship in the military convoy, before diving into the water to make an aquatic approach towards shore!
<Pose Tracker> Eisen Daiwel has posed.
~"We're approaching the target site."~
~"Understood, readying startup sequence and deploying wings."~ Followed by a pause. The straps holding Eisen in the cockpit are keeping him at an awkward angle while the Carestia is inactive. But something keeps playing over and over in his mind.
The Dinosaur Empire.
Where some might be worried about their return. About what it means for them to have dared to show themselves again after what happened in New Yark, Eisen's mind is somewhere entirely different.
"Finally, I get to fight a Dinosaur!"
When the message came in from NISAR to NERV, Eisen Daiwel was already working on a deployment in order to test the Microwave Dishes once again. However, it would appear that further testing on the dangerous power delivery system for Evangelions may need to wait further.
Instead, the large Evangelion quickly was being loaded onto one of the large carrier planes that NERV uses in order to get their larger ordenances around. The red jet soon taking off and passing through the night skies. The only sign of its presence being the sound high up in the skies until...
Green light passes across the underbelly of the carrier jet, as the Evangelion Unit-Zahlos activates. Its wings suddenly spread out beneath the wings of the jet, forcing it to disengage and drop the Evangelion.
"Synchronization rate stable." Eisen remarks to himself, just a second before NERV base makes the announcement. Monitoring all the status values on the unit. "Plug depth stable, all lines connected. Ionization levels normal... all good to go."
Life comes into the cockpit, the LCL allowing the full view. Light warping towards him, until the dark ocean and ground beneath him come into view. He launches four spears immediately towards the ground at regular intervals - that crash into the ground.
Before flares light up from their backs, creating large search-beams that start sweeping the field, trying to find the target within the dark if the evening! "There!" Eisen spots the Kaiju. "That design..."
<Pose Tracker> Misato Katsuragi has posed.
Misato is always happy to fight a dinosaur. She built her career off of fighting dinosaurs. And it's one of the few times she can mobilize in her mobile suit rather than just linger around on the bridge of a battleship that just doesn't have enough power.
"Deploying," Misato transmits. "It'll be good to fight with the kids instead of just yelling in their ears."
The ARX Silver Millenium is a custom SIlver Bullet that has served Misato well so far and she doesn't see any reason as to why it'd stop now. Misato spends her time moving into position with some degree of caution. The Dinosaurs are often known to have a trick or two up their sleeves.
That is until she hears a familiar voice chiming over the open local broadband.
"Aurum-1," Misato transmits. "One question: Nani the fuck?? What are you doing here? I didn't clear you for deployment and the School certainly didn't deign to give me any updates to change my mind."
She grinds her teeth in frustration at what is increasingly to her a clown show. What the hell is going ON at the School?
She told that the next time she saw Ouka she better be fit as a fiddle but she certainly did NOT mean like this.
<Pose Tracker> Alouette Kaas has posed.
The bright flash of each part of the Synchronization between Evangelion and pilot breaks through the anouncements of each phase from the control room at NERV HQ. Alouette Kaas in her plug suit feels the increasing pressure of the LCL as plug depth dives further, and the fleeting thought comes and goes as always, is she gripping the controls tighter, or is the increasing pressure causing the same feeling? As quickly as it came it's gone and her vision in the cockpit is replaced with that of her Evangelion Unit Null-Sigma.
Sudden G-Force from rapid acceleration as she is launched in her seventy-one meter terror. But it's not to the streets that Alouette rises from. It is from the Undersea Mobile Deployment Platform. When Null-Sigma nears the surface, a last thrust of additional impulse creates an accelerated breach, launching the Evangelion into the air. Alouette makes a threatening display of it, extending the four tentacle arms of the specialized Britainnian Unit wide.
"Evangelion Unit Null-Sigma deployed! Awaiting Orders Colonel Katsuragi, Captain Jin! Aurum-1 Station for support!"
BBSYS: Post 100, 'Family Getaway' has been published to Vacations by Lina Lombardi.
<Pose Tracker> Hayato Jin has posed.
The Getter team arrives. As the blue jet touches down, Hayato climbs into the seat. "Shut up and get in. You don't seem like you've ever piloted."
He grins. It's almost like rictus - a wild dog's grin. He pushes the plane to move into the air once they're both in, and then...
"That's good. The inexperienced are the most dangerous when harnessed right. Getter-2, Getter-3! Getter Change!"
As the plane moves, he suddenly lurches forward, coughing blood out of his mouth. One may ask why Hayato Jin stopped piloting. The answer is simple.
It would kill him to fly. Massive rib trauma.
He's in no condition to man the controls. Someone will need to step up, as, in a few moments...
<Pose Tracker> Weekly Seijin has posed.
Mechasaurus Doba's pilot is having his own bad day. First, his prey escapes, with *Hayato Jin*, the nemesis of the Dinosaurs! Second, there's approaching machines. It infuriates him...
And it infuriates the giant lizards linked through Mechasaurus Doba's helmet, horn-like tails suddenly surging forward. They lash out, trying to thrash every machine in range!
"Human scum! We're taking our planet back! DIE!"
<Pose Tracker> Neo Getter Team has posed.
Climbing into the blue jet after Hayato, Go is about to make a hot-head retort when Hayato lurches forward, blood splattering the young man's bare shoulders. "Hey. Hey, man are you okay?"
No. He's very clearly not. Go looks out the cockpit at the Mechasaur as the Getter Machines accelerate, and pushes out through gritted teeth "Tell me what to do. I'll take over."
"Something's wrong," Sho says, expertly steering Neo Jaguar around the lashing lizard tails as Gai pulls back. "Neo Eagle's not synced up. Captain, are you okay?"
"He's not doing good!" Go yells into the intercom. "I'm getting him into the back seat."
Sho blinks. "Wait, who the hell are you?"
"I'm Go Ichimonji, who the hell are you?"
"GUYS!" Gai Daido interjects. "There's a Mechasaur, in case you've forgotten! Go, get that jet steady, Sho and I will line up with you. Listen close and call it out with us."
Three voices roar out as one across the battlefield, an unmistakable and familiar command to those who fought the Dinosaurs before:
"CHANGE: GETTER ONE!!"
Energy crackles between the three jets as they close to point-blank, but instead of a horrific collision, they socket together with the ease of a child stacking construction block toys. Shape-Memory Alloy twists, elongates and morphs, as Neo Bear contorts into a pair of long black legs, Neo Jaguar rides up to become a crimson backpack, and the blue Neo Eagle stretches into shoulders and arms, antennae folding out over an unmistakable visage as the combiner robot drops out of the sky and lands at close range with the Mechasaur.
A New Getter Robo - no, NEO GETTER ROBO - has awakened. Yet the light it emits is not the harsh neon green of Getter Rays, but crackling purple-and-blue electricity. This, then, is one of Hayato Jin's many NISAR secrets.
White blades deploy from Neo Getter-1's forearms and it lunges forwards to strike the Mechasaur with them!
<Pose Tracker> Eisen Daiwel has posed.
Eisen has been thoroughly kept out of the loop on the whole Ouka debacle, so Misato's interaction with Ouka kind of just throws him for a loop. From his position in the air, his gaze quickly slips towards Alouette Kaas' appearance, as the searchlights catch the rising of those tendrils - the IFF signal soon following.
"So, we fight together today." The youth mumbles to himself, as if he were addressing the pilot herself. "Excellent. Let's see if we can't work with tha~ wh~"
The Carestia darts a bit to the side as the Getter jet passes by - only to touch down and pick up people. From this distance, in this light, he can't identify them beyond IR readings of two bodies. But the youth can't help but get excited at this. "Getter is back!?"
The Carestia turns in towards the Mechasaur, and its Jet Turbine activates. The gossamer light between its wings light up and flare with kaleidoscopic light in octagonal shape. And as the horns flare towards it, more of that light comes to life. The green lit A.T. field activates, as the unit presses one hand down, 'deflecting' some of the blow as it eats as significant amount of energy from the Carestia to push it away, as it continues its descent downwards.
<"It's a Kaiju. We kill it, we rend it, we decimate-and-devour it, and we go home!"> Eisen calls out to Alouette Kaas, as the Carestia lands into the water right behind the Mechasaurus! <"FIRST DINOSAUR SLAYING TECHNIQUE!"> And its tail suddenly swings around like a Kaiju's, grabbing at the Mechasaur's neck. <"SPIRAL TAIL EXTINCTION!">
<"Getter Team! I don't know why you've gone for Blue instead of Green, but I'll support and try to keep this guy steady.!"> Eisen calls out, as the Carestia tries to dig its claws into the shallows of the water and 'drag' the Mechasaur towards land proper.
<"It's not your Earth anymore! It has gone to the victors. It's best you just learn - instead of causing even more destabilizations!"> Eisen shouts back towards the Dinosaur pilot.
<Pose Tracker> Ouka Nagisa has posed.
"Colonel Katusragi?" Ouka's voice sounds genuinely confused, her unit hesitating after pulling itself on shore. She hasn't been cleared for deployment... this causes her some serious confusion. Then she thinks about it - she was caught in an explosion recently, and though she wasn't able to remember what happened, she was injured enough that she had to be taken to The School. Perhaps Misato is confused then about the degree of her injuries?
Oh and now there's giant lizards whipping horn like tails her way. Before she has a chance to response, Aurum-1 pulls back on the controls within her Arm Slave harness attempting to avoid the attack. Unfortunately she fails to maneuver entirely out of the way, and one of tails rakes heavily against the chest armor of the Gernsback, gouging deep wounds through the metallic surface.
"Acknowledged. I am not deploying as a NERV Auxiliary, but as a G-Hound Crossbloc Special Forces unit responding to the deployment of an aggressive Mechasaurus unit within OCU borders. Changes to my status as a NERV Auxiliary can be discussed once the threat has been neutralized."
With that the First Boosted Child's Gernsback moves to an aggressive posture, just in time to watch as the three jets fly into one another. Not crashing together... but instead combining into a single unit! A Getter Unit... Neo Getter Robo.
"A Getter Unit?" Ouka's is once again confused, thinking that Getter-based technology was banned, but she quickly resolves: "Moving to assist." over the local radio band as the Gernsback attempts to close range with both the Getter and the Mechasaur. Deploying the XM18 Wire Gun attached to her unit's arms, Ouka attempts to draw as close as she can before using Eisen's spotlights to pick a sensitive place to fire her weapon. The resulting impact likely won't do much damage - but the electric shock traveling down the wire and into the Mechasaur will hopefully disrupt either the electronics or the pilot itself!
<Pose Tracker> Misato Katsuragi has posed.
Misato is confused by Ouka's own confusion. She listens carefully but the response doesn't quite fit. Her mouth drops open with pure 'are you shitting me?' energy. But she takes in a deep breath, lets it out slowly, and thinks that now is definitely not the time.
"We'll talk later, Nagisa." Misato says. Some School bullshit, she assumes and might say more but she promptly gets clobbered by a DINO TAIL. "GNghhh!!" Misato grunts as her cockpit shakes. "Aw hell no...!"
She jumps her mech back, opening up some space and she gives her commands to Nagisa and Alouette.
"Go all out! We'll worry about the rest when we make these lizards extinct!"
She continues her evasive action, drawing her beam-spear into the Silver Millenium's hands.
<Pose Tracker> Alouette Kaas has posed.
Her display of threat is met, with living horns, and Alouette pulls the tentcles in to block the stabiing strikes. Unit Null-Sigma's AT-Field flares brilliantly with each of the two blows. That's all the lizards get however and Alouette isn't staying still.
"This is the better side of the Glaive." Alouette replies in turn to Eisen's wordplay about their sims against each other.
"With your wings you get a better vantage, if you see any openings I can set for you, call it!"
Alouette is jostled in the LCL as the near center of gravity shifts with the rapid direction shift and additional mobility of the Null-Sigma due to the tentacles. The Fourth Child is putting all the speed to out stay out of reach of those tails. As she comes around behind the legs of the Mechalizard...
Unit Null-Sigma charges and wraps arms into the bit of the joint behind the knee, using the kinetic motion to pull on the joint, and add instability to their situation.
"New Getter, Old Getter, Bring all the Getters just strike! Roger that Colonel! GOING. ALL. IN." The strain in her voice is clearly evident with those words as she pushes her Evangelion harder.
<Pose Tracker> Hayato Jin has posed.
"That control there..." -- "Yes, that button. You're good for something, it seems." -- "Augh...give them hell...!"
After a bit of instructing Go, Neo Getter combines. Hayato Jin is able to coordinate with the rest of NERV through his radio. <"Neo Getter Robo online. Captain Hayato Jin, reporting. Sustained injuries from wound re-opening. Go Ichimonji is now designated Getter-1.">
They can't fail here. Neo Getter Robo is combined. It's unstoppable against such a low-level Mechasaur. Hayato's still grinning.
<Pose Tracker> Weekly Seijin has posed.
The Mechasaurus Doba is bullied. Blades from Neo Getter Robo slice out, parried with a whip of a hardened tail, slicing into a lizard. The dragging force is diffused with pure strength, even as it takes neck damage - the dinosaur within roars. "Victors? The Dinosaur Empire shall be resurgent! THE BATTLE IS NOT YET WON!" And then, he shuts off comms.
Especially because they get fried. Ouka's wire gun electrifies central systems, causing the Mechasaur itself to *roar*. The pilot is sturdy, however, and survives, as the lizard tails pull backwards...and Alouette makes the machine drop to a knee briefly, stopping motion on land. It begins to rise...
And begin striking again to defend itself! Ouka's small machine gets gripped by the tail, trying to squeeze briefly before releasing, before it begins an oppressive beatdown on Neo Getter just at the sight of it. The others get whacked around, trying to damage them further. These lizards need to be dealt with!
<Pose Tracker> Neo Getter Team has posed.
Go brings the arms up in a cross to block the beatdown, grunting as Neo Getter-1 takes blow after blow without yielding. "Hey! What other options do we got in this thing anyway?"
Sho pipes up from Neo Jaguar: "We've got missiles! At this range we can really let 'em have it!"
"Gotcha!" Go yanks both control rods back, holds the trigger and then yanks them down, and parts of the Neo Jaguar backpack pop up over the shoulders of Neo Getter-1 as it leans forwards, Shape-Memory Alloy contorting into boxy missile launchers.
Go releases the triggers, roaring "SHOULDER MISSILES!"
A veritable Itano Circus volleys forth from the shoulder mounts, bombarding the Mechasaur with overwhelming explosive force!
<Pose Tracker> Eisen Daiwel has posed.
<"I'm glad you're appreciating being on this side of the Glaive. It's the side I'd like to make sure you stay on."> Eisen calls back out to Alouette, catching onto the topic quickly. <"Roger that. Just keep any openings coming, and I'll take advantage of them. And I'll do the same for you!">
For all of his bluster, the youth is remarkably good at being a Team Player.
The Carestia releases the Mechasaur as it declares that the battle is not yet won, Eisen is quick to retort; <"THAT'S THE SPIRIT! Then Come! Come all, and walk into the Pits of Hades! And be devoured by she who lies at the depths of the Abyss! Come, FACE Carestia! And let her curse your people with Famine!">
As the unit ducks down, lowering its profile as the claws of the Mechasaur scrape along the arms of the more 'limber' looking Carestia, before it jumps back into the air and takes a moment to get a better look at the view - the way Alouette is holding it, and using the massive turbines to adjust his direction immediately once more...
<"Alouette, hold it still!"> As he comes down! Missiles splashing into the space, hopefully blinding the Kaiju. The eyes of the Evangelion light up with violent green. Eisen's grin within the cockpit climbing to wicked lengths.
As the unit comes down, aiming for the tail that is sweeping towards Ouka. <"Aurum-1, careful!"> As Eisen tries to guide the Carestia to grab hold of that tail, and begins to try and use Alouette's hold to try and RIP the tail off, digging in the Progressive Claws of the Carestia!
<Pose Tracker> Misato Katsuragi has posed.
More lizardly assault! Misato grimaces as her Silver Millenium takes more fire! But it's holding firm so far. She's not sure how much longer this could take it though so she better not hold back.
She raises her Quasi-Psycommu gauntlet with the beamsaber--the gauntlet expelling out by the wrist and launching itself towards the mechasaur, aiming to stab into its leg, beamspears first as the Silver Millenium starts spinning around, intending to occupy that limb and kepe the beast pinned--and hopefully, eventually, knock it over on its side so it can be a sitting duck for the other heavier suits in the area.
"I've got a lotta shit to work through," She mutters at the dinosaur, though she isn't radioing she's just saying it to herself. "So thank you kindly for the opportunity to settle it...!"
<Pose Tracker> Ouka Nagisa has posed.
She can hear the dissatisfaction in Misato's tone over the radio. However there is nothing for it right now. Whatever misunderstanding Misato is harboring, it will have to be addressed once the enemy defeated. She certainly shouldn't split her attention when the Mechasaurus is attempting to seize and crush her machine with its tail!!
She can sense she'll be unable to avoid this attack so instead she lowers her shoulder shield and pushes it into the tail. The prehensile appendage wraps around her machine and drags her off the ground, crushing her unit while dragging her up and off the ground. Still by pressing her shield into the tail's grip she's able to slip just enough to get one arm free!
The left arm raises up, reaching back to draw forth the Gernsback's Boxer 57mm Shotcannon. She fires one round, then using that same one arm manages to pump the shotcannon before tossing the gun up into the air and catching it to fire another round.
As the tail drops her, her unit crashes hard to the ground, but within a moment rolls back to its feet and continues firing. She continues firing each shot, attempting to overwhelm the mechasaur with pure firepower!
Soon the Boxer Shotcannon's magazine is expended. The Gernsback ejects and replaces the ammunition holder, "All-Out Attack maneuver completed." She hears Eisen's warning to be careful, watching as his Eva rushes forward to grab the tail to attempting to rip it free! "Acknowledged..." Then she watches at Misato rush-downing the Mechasaur, intending to work out her emotions on it.
Is it weird she feels slightly bad for the dinosaur?
<Pose Tracker> Alouette Kaas has posed.
Evangelion Unit Null-Sigma swings away from the crushing knee of the giant thing. Alouette for one is grateful they aren't struggling with any AT-Field in addition to the threat as is. The concussion wave hits her just a moment after it hits the humanioid monstrosity she currently inhabits. Alouette looks up to see the rest of the massive volley from the Neo Gedtter Robo. She revels a moment in the novel beauty of combiner ally. The styling and mind bending function.
"Cool."Alouette smiles as she says it. The next concussion blast shakes her from her revelry, and Null-Sigma is hit with another blow of the lizard hats.
"Alouette, hold it still!"
"Copy Crestia, I'm on your eight!"
Alouette yells in charge as she and Unit Null-Sigma, six appendages juking about attempt a rapid climb to grab and pin down one of those hat lizards, to give the opening called for. Waiting in the short time it takes for a slim opening to apply all the strength of eight abominable limbs to holding down one of those things!
"I just hope it doesn't grow back! This is the ugliest hat anyway!"
<Pose Tracker> Weekly Seijin has posed.
Missiles explode with enough force to injure the lizard that Neo Getter Robo sliced into, causing it to pull its tail back - long enough for the strikes from Misato and Ouka to both kill it and injure the Mechasaurus Doba itself.
Meanwhile, Eisen and Alouette TEAR the other lizard apart through combination atttatcks, claws, and bear-hugs, defeating the threat of head whips. There's only one response.
Doba's face opens. The chest opens. It begins radiating with heat and energy.
And it fires heat rays at all present, even up close! If they miss, they'll melt whatever's behind them instead, they're just that hot!
<Pose Tracker> Neo Getter Team has posed.
"Gai!" Sho calls out as the heat rays bore into Neo Getter-1's armour, stripping paint and starting to buckle the shape-memory alloy. "Shunt the reactor power to Neo Eagle!"
"Got it!" blue-purple sparks crackle from the robot's legs, through its backpack, into the head, and Neo Getter-1 claps its hands together to concentrate this power.
A grin much like Hayato's battle-rictus blossoms on Go's face as he reads through the weapon loadouts on his console. "Full power, everyone! PLASMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."
Neo Getter-1 draws its hands apart, plasmatic lightning dancing between its fingertips and coalescing into a great lance of power almost as long as the robot is tall, hefted over its head like a terrible storm-wreathed javelin! Hearts beating as one, the three Getter pilots roar the second word of the attack!
"THUNDEEEEEEEEEEERRR!!!"
Like an Olympian, Getter Robo strides forward and hurls the lightning-lance at the centre of mass of the Mechasaur, compressed plasma smashing through its defenses!
<Pose Tracker> Eisen Daiwel has posed.
Eisen never knew that Colonel Katsuragi actually knew how to fight. He's always seen her at the sidelines, giving commands. But she's actually managing to hold her own. They youth catches the Silver Millenium from the corner of his eyes.
The Neo Getter - the return of a Getter - fighting with such amazing fierceness. Open Get. Each time he sees it, his heart skips a beat. This is the stuff he grew up on! Part of what shaped his sense for aesthetics. A Super Robot that might as well be a devil.
The youth is really getting hype, and he's hearing some people calling out that he's diving too deep again. ~"Let the burns and wounds come. I can handle it. I'm going all in."~ He calls through to the local operations before flicking off the outer comms and focusing instead on the moment.
Focusing on Carestia.
These hands. These wings. This tail. His fingers flick and get settled a bit better. The mind's image growing firmer. An image that draws himself deeper into Carestia. Within this monster. Letting that fuzzy feeling like 'butterflies' rush within his chest. "Carestia..." He whispers, leaving his mouth slight open.
The Carestia itself seems to mimic this, opening its maw. Within this cold evening. The ocean waters around them. The spotlights catch the white 'heat' of its breath as the monsterous thing seems to exhale.
"You were made for me, weren't you? You and I, we are one, aren't we? Shaping yourself - showing the ugliness of my heart. You know me. In ways nobody else does." The youth whispers to his machine. For a moment, he thinks back to something Relena Peacecraft told him. She rather have demons than angels. "Let us be ugly then. Let us be Demons!"
Eisen pulls at his shoulders a bit, almost feeling the wings upon his back. The tail linked to his back. His armaments available. "Let me hear you, Carestia." Eisen demands of his machine, his fingers digging tighter into the controls. The light within the cockpit swirling, a subtle rainbow dissolve at the edges of its green lit internals. "LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR!" As the youth howls, and the Evangelion joins.
Throwings its arms at its side, it faces the Mechasaur, and roars. Its maw opening, and a sonic wave pushes out from it. The shallows of water near its feet break away, the A.T. field activating as it DEFIES the Dinosaur pilot and his Mechasaur. Wave after wave ripples out as the A.T. field grows and refuses to relinquish its hold upon this reality.
Behind him, Misato. The A.T. field grows as the light comes... and SLAMS against the A.T. field! The heat ray cascading outwards. Splitting, burrowing into the ground on sides of it. Light flashes before Eisen, but the Carestia begins to step forward. Slowly. Pushing through the ray. Its wings spreading out, adjusting its angles. Touching forward, supporting the A.T. field. Some of the 'feathers' dropping down, giving it access...
<"FIRST LIMITLESS TECHNIQUE - ENDLESS ASSAULT VERSION!">
The first polearm drops. Rattling down from the wing, and SLAMMING into the ground. The nearby road breaking as the Heat Ray halts, and the Carestia takes up the Glaive and throws it RIGHT for the Kaiju's left leg in an attempt to pin it! <"SEEKING GUNGNIR"> It then turns, as a second weapon is dispensed from its wings, taken into its other hand and throws it 'up' horizontally, before suddenly performing a backwards flip, catching the spear with the toe of its feet, and using all of that momentum and its wings to 'soccer kick' the spear right for the enemy's head. <"VIOLENT ATGEIR">
Its dance doesn't stop, the moment it lands, its wings are used to touch the ground, allowing it do dip down into an extremely low stance, pushing off like some kind of feral beast. The ground and rockside are torn apart as its muscles tense, and the machine shoots forward.
PLASMA THUNDER!
Blue lightning comes down before him, as the Neo Getter pilots show that they are just as much Getter pilots as the previous generation! The lightning lance almost blinding Eisen. But he keeps going. Two new spears falling down from the wings as the unit rears up and seeks to stab the spears down into the Mechasaur's shoulders - one each - aimed towards the edges of its neck -- <"FALLING SCALES OF FAMINE!"> -- before the unit brings its wings in, and uses the spear-tips there-of to try and WING SPEAR the enemy -- <"GAEEEE BULG!">, and begin lifting the Mechasaur...
As it reaches out, trying to burrow both its hands into the chest near the cockpit...
<"GATES OF...">
To crush the block entirely!
<"HELL!">
<Pose Tracker> Misato Katsuragi has posed.
Misato is kinda spinning around the leg when suddenly Misato looks up at one of her exterior views and sees a face looking at her. "Aw nertz." Misato says before a HEAT BEAM explodes into the center paneling of the Silver Bullet, snaps the wire of that particular gauntlet when the mobile suit is sent splatting across the ground, bouncing several times before sliding into a near ruined lump on the floor. "Okay," Misato says dizzily. "Maybe I AM a little outta practice."
She groans as metal creaks and complains as she shifts the Silver Bullet back up slowly, bracing against a wall for support.
Katsuragi has been fighting the dinosaur empire while some of you were in grade school. She doesn't say this because nobody is openly declaring their shock that a Colonel in the military might have some actual fighting experience.
"Nagisa, you tear this thing a new asshole and you'll only deal with me slightly snarly."
She says this before she runs for her fallen beamsaber, picking it up with her spare hand and driving it up again and again towards the underside of the Mechasaur!
"Come on you Dino Bastards!! Is this all you got???" Misato shouts.
<Pose Tracker> Ouka Nagisa has posed.
When the chest and face armor of the Mechasaur opens up, Aurum-1 figures it can only mean one thing: It is planning a serious all or nothing attack. Rather than attempting to avoid the attack, the XM9 Gernsback hunkers while bringing forth it's left arm shoulder shield to bear the brunt of the resulting heat rays!!
The result is that the hit rays smash against the front of the shield, and end up splitting and running across the surface of the small machine like a river of pure thermal energy. When the heat ray ends the shield glows bright red, and small droplets of molten metal splatter against the asphalt below. The first Boosted Child reaches pulls her arm from the Arm Slave's harness so she can reach up and touch the golden triangle charm sitting upon the center of her circlet, attached to her forehead. The Boosted Child opens the local radio band, "Moving into a flanking position, preparing to take advantage of the Mechasaur's opening."
The Gernsback rushes to the side of the foe, its feet scratching across the surface as the machine slows down before leaping atop a nearby port warehouse. The machine springs from the top of piled cargo containers moving higher and higher. Once settling atop a nearby loading crame the Gernsback crouches down, its joints moving in such a fashion to remind one that its limbs rotation range were not designed after a human... but something more akin to a grasshopper.
"Roger, Colonel Katsuragi. Engaging!"
Leaping much like a flea, she shoots towards the Mechasaurus with incredible speed and inertia. Her vision briefly blacks out, before her cardiovascular system compensates and both shapes and light return to her eyes! Pulling her right arm back in the harness, she draws forth the machine's Monomolecular blade from its sheath and holds it in both hands intending to drive it with full force into the beast's forehead!
Then, once again utilizing the unnatural rotational range of the Gernsback, she'll twist her machine's body around to propel herself downward attempting to DRAG the molecular edge through as much of the machine's body as it can. Then, with one final leap, rip the blade free and land on the ground before it! Spinning the blade in a flourish, before placing it back into its sheath.
<Pose Tracker> Alouette Kaas has posed.
The Angels are bizzare in their forms and it wasn't long ago she and her fellow pilots fought a walking volcano. So there isn't really an expectation when it comes to the giant creatures that Alouette encounters in combat. When the Mechasaurus started to open Alouette wasn't put at ease, and the speed at which light travels, the overwhelming intensity of the brilliant flash barely registered before the incredible beam struck the AT-Field and deflected in angles that math geeks would only care about.
Alouette's lips pulled up at the corners. Not a grin but a roar as she and the Evangelion rush forward into the beam, and begin a furious flurry of slashing and eviscerating arcs with four large whipping appendages
"It's too hot today for that kind of thing!!"
<Pose Tracker> Weekly Seijin has posed.
A flurry of attacks are what the Mechasaurus needs to die. Plasma Thunder fries through the machine, killing the pilot even as the cockpit block is destroyed, the body is torn apart by the Gernsback cutter, the underside is punctured, and the appendages whip it apart. There's barely even a scream as the Mechasaur explodes violently, and the city is saved.
But the Dinosaur Empire is back. Hayato Jin was right.
<Pose Tracker> Hayato Jin has posed.
Speaking of...
"Good work. You'll never be at his level, but you're a good enough mimicry..." Hayato laughs through his pain, still awake through sheer determination. He pushes himself over to the intercom. "Tachibana, Daido. Call medical, arrange a bed. They don't like it when I do it myself." He's half-joking.
"Good work. Prepare for the next battle. This is only the beginning."
<Pose Tracker> Neo Getter Team has posed.
Go Ichimonji is panting in exhaustion, shirtless, and covered in a horrible mix of his own sweat, seawater, and somebody else's blood.
This is the best night he's ever had.
Sho, meanwhile, rings through to NISAR medical to let them know Captain Jin's got himself injured again, and Dai goes over basic post-battle maintenance, coaxing the reactor back up to strength after their big show-off attack. Eventually, Neo Getter-1 Opens Get, splits into its three constituent jets, and cruises back to NISAR HQ, Neo Eagle lagging behind so that Hayato's wounds aren't worsened by the g-forces.
<Pose Tracker> Eisen Daiwel has posed.
The A.T. field engages as the Mechasaur detonates, the bloodied hands of the Carestia dripping into the waters of the ocean, as the machine drops its hands to the sides and roars to the night sky! Declaring their victory upon this hostile lifeform!
<"Let them come."> Eisen answers as there's mention of this only being the beginning. <"They don't understand just how unprepared they are, coming at us like this."> The youth is no doubt over-confident on the matter. But he
The Carestia turns a bit and begins recovering its longarm weapons. Each spear returned to its wings as the carrier VTOL begins to lower itself towards their location.
<"So what was this about Ouka no longer piloting alongside us?"> Eisen inquires with the Colonel. <"She's clearly still quite perfectly capable to fell our foes. I don't see the problem."> The youth points out, before the Carestia turns towards the tentacled monstrocity that Alouette is piloting and lifts its hand. <"Nice piloting, Alouette. You're getting cooler.">
<Pose Tracker> Ouka Nagisa has posed.
The Mechasaurus is torn to pieces by the relentless assaults of those gathered to defend humanity. The beast explodes behind her Gernsback, and Aurum-1 ignored the core tenent of 'cool people don't look at explosions' to turn and look back at the beast's final demise.
The machine then turns to train its optics on the Neo Getter unit. She watches as the unit splits into three jets, and then takes off in the direction of Nisar HQ. The face of the Gernsback lacks emotion, but the face of its golden eyed pilot is contemplative. She isn't sure what to make of this new development. No doubt she will have to make a report of this incident to her superiors.
... though speaking of her superiors, her machine turns to look back towards the Evangelions and ARX machine piloted by Colonel Katsuragi.
"Second Lieutenant Aurum One, reporting for redeployment as a NERV Auxiliary following Moderator treatment. As the current threat has passed I am prepared to stand down from operational status pending further review. I will disembark from this unit and set a retrieval beacon for G-Hound."
And then, just like that, the Gernsback leans down and opens the hatch. Ouka easily pulls herself from the Arm Slave's harness and lands gracefully on the ground below. She is wearing her School military uniform - os-link bracelets, metal pauldrons and all. And... of course, her golden circlet with a downward golden triangle charm placed upon her forehead.
Honestly... she hardly looks like she was caught in an 'explosion' just four days prior.
She walks away from the Gernsback, which as Ouka suggested is emitting a beacon for retrieval on a G-Hound encrypted frequency, and waits at attention until Misato decides what to do with the returning Boosted Child.
<Pose Tracker> Alouette Kaas has posed.
The destruction and detonation tear apart the remaining large masses and Alouette inside of Null-Sigma standing in the remains. But she isn't still, and the large humanoid continues to shakes the ground as it steps, akin to pacing looking for any other threats. The large free apendages emerging from the back and shoulder are snapping around, seeking as well.
Alouette for her part had slipped deeper inside the plug for a moment, to the worries of those monitoring her bios though that seems to have passed. But inside the plug she was still heaving in pants from the exertion. Anyone looking at the comm displays may notice an active comm on the NERV Frequency, for a few seconds. An inaudible 33KHz tone plays for 6 seconds. The signal line closes. Alouette blinks, but her breath slows.
"Agreed Crestia. Will Tango Partner again."
"Aurum-1 glad you wre here."
Alouette pulls the tentacles in and engages the gyroscopic settings. She takes the Evangelion over towards the others, barely aware of the ringing in her ears.
"Getter Team, Colonel, Unit Null-Sigma requesting rally point. Search of the area reveals threat status appears to be green. Copy?"
